February (2003)

Oops! Is it scratched?
Please be careful!
It's all taken care of, ok?
Later today they'll bring
the artwork up to your room.
Meaw, didn't anyone buy any of
my paintings?
Well... four or five...
Not including the ones you bought,
right?
Umm... someday,
someone will buy them.
But will I live to see it?
Your flowers... I didn't want to
throw them away.
Ake still hasn't visited?
It's true. People have seen him
with that girl, Jane.
I know.
So tonight, I'll come spend
the night with you, okay?
No, that's okay, Meaw.
I want to be alone.
Okay, then I'll see you tomorrow.
By the way,
does your dad know yet?
Hello, Prapas residence.
Hello?
Can I speak to my father?
Oh, just a moment!
Honey, your darling daughter is
on the line.
Oh, no longer the rebel ha?
Probably ran out of money.
Hello? What do you want?
Money?
NO! Come back and work
for the family business...
...then we'll talk about it.
Painting is not going to make
a decent living.
Why don't you grow up.
Act like an adult!
Hello? Hello?
Why doesn't she answer?
I just found out yesterday.
So what? You gonna break up
with that girl?
Kaewta!
My father should be able to help
with your visa.
But why do you want to go to
New York?
I want to see Muay.
See Muay?
But New York is so dangerous.
I don't think anywhere is more
dangerous.
I don't want to be here anymore.
Don't forget... your operation
is in February.
Kaewta. Hello?
I won't forget. In any case,
I have to come back.
Have you called Muay yet?
She probably won't take my call.
Whether she does or doesn't,
you should call her before you go!
Listen, I'll take care of
the visa for you, OK?
Thanks, Meaw.
New York, U.S.A.
Why the hell you wanna go back
to Thailand?
To fix cars?
Do you know Lam's garage
closed up shop?
I know.
Then why do you wanna go back?
Listen up, if you go back there,
you won't be allowed back here.
I won't be coming back.
Fine, you wanna go back?
Go back! BUT,
you have to do one last job for me.
You telling me like this?
At the last minute?
I won't have time to replace you.
So Kaewta, tell me about Taiwan.
It's not Taiwan... Thailand.
Not different,
Thailand Taiwan they all Chinese.
It's different.
What's different?
Thai doesn't use chopstick.
Oh! What do they use?
We use spoon and fork.
Really? I never knew that.
Taxi.
Why are you away from the city?
Taxi.
Go. Go. Go.
Is everything OK?
Yes.
Watch out!
Bowie
Find it?
No.
Nothing in there either.
Nothing.
Hey
You're got to come with us.
Now tell me...
What happened last night?
Got it, let's go.
You left the girl in front of
Dr. Leoung's.
Yes.
Okay I believe you.
But I'm gonna be keeping
this for the time being.
When I find at
who has it for sure...
...then I'll return it.
What do you plan to do
with the girl.
You cannot leave her there.
Going back to Thailand.
It's not going to be easy man.
Hello?
Muay? This is Meaw.
Hey, Meaw.
How's Kaewta?
Why you asking about her?
She's supposed to be there
with you
With me? She broke up with that
asshole Ake, huh?
Yes!
I knew it.
Why she coming here to see me?
So I can tell her, I told you so?
She probably wants
to apologize to you, Muay.
Apologize isn't it a little late
for that?
Muay, are you serious?
Kaewta isn't there with you?
I'm serious! She isn't here.
You! You! Can you get up?
She can not walk.
Where do you wanna get off.
I don't know.
Where do you live?
I don't know.
Your name?
What do you mean?
You don't remember your name?
Shit! I'm screwed.
A car hit you here.
Do you remember anything?
Anything in your pockets?
Is this all you have?
Well, do you remember
anything having to do with Thailand?
Use the stairs.
The elevator's broken.
Tonight you can sleep here.
There's stuff to drink in the fridge.
Bathroom is over there.
Tomorrow I'll take you into
the city,
...maybe it will help
you remember.
Tell me if this helps
you remember anything.
Remember anything?
I guess you really aren't
from around here.
You remember something?
You think of anything?
Your room is ready.
These are mine but
you can use them for now.
I just washed them.
They're clean.
Whose room is this?
A friend's.
He's not coming back?
Not anymore.
Hello.
It's Jackie.
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! What's up?
I have an urgent work for you.
I don't wanna do it.
What do you mean?

Don't you want the money?
Thanks no.

But I have to go home soon.
You are not going anywhere
until we got are stuff.
Do you believe in Destiny.
Destiny?
Yeah that's why I'm here man.

Yes.
It's Chan.
Chan?
Is this place familiar?
Where are we?
Central Park
Central Park?
What are we doing here?
I have to meet someone.
Listen, if you ever get lost again,
wait for me here.
Just ask anyone.
Everyone knows Central park.
But this place is so big.
How will I know?
That fountain, then.
It's big enough.
There's only one fountain in
this park?
Well, I guess there are a few.
Then how am I supposed to know
which one?
Over there. See that homeless
guy sleeping there?
Just look for him.
You'll know you're
in the right place.
And if he goes home?
Homeless means he has no home.
Ever since I came to this city,
he's always been there.
Hey, sorry I'm late.
So what do you think.
I don't know man.
I actually quit.
Besides I haven't done this kind
of job before.
What about $ 10,000
Aren't you going home?
You need some money.
Money is everything.
You don't have
to answer right away.
You can think about it.
That's the number for take ID
and passport place.
Tell him I sent you.
Can you take me to Central Park
tomorrow?
Why do you want to go back
to Central Park?
I want to draw pictures.
Don't you care about anything else?
Don't you want to know who you are?
Don't you want to go home?
May I help you?
Chan said you can help me else.
Chan oh. What do you want?
Passport.

Who knows? Maybe your parents
back in Thailand are millionaires.
Meaw? I've already reported
this to the police.
Don't forget to keep us
informed, ok?
And when's Kaewta going
in for surgery?
This coming February.
That's only a few months away.
No one's ever made it?
The doctor here said in America,
a few cases have made it through.
But they are comatose.
They just sleep forever.
So living or dying,
It's all the same?
How could she be so unlucky?
Anyway, if I hear anything,
I'll call you right back.
Hi G.
Hi Chan.
Why here.
So many cops around.

He tried to steal our goods.

Yes boss, him and another guy.
Did he get the stuff?
No boss, Chan's dead

What kind of work do you do, Jee?
I'm a cab driver.
A driver has to carry a gun?
Your work isn't legal, is it, Jee?
Just being here isn't legal already.
Where am I gonna find legal work?

- Your passport cost $2,000.
Not to mention the cost of
the plane ticket.
Hello.
Hello.

It's you. Where have you been.
My client loves your work.
They want more...

I mopped the floors.
How much were the tickets?
$800 each
Can you help calling that number?
Whose number is it?
Peter's number.

He's a designer.
I met him in Central Park.
He likes my paintings.
He'll pay me $10,000
Ten thousand dollars?
Should be enough for
the airplane tickets,
...and everything else, right?
And why do you want me to call?
I brought everything
I assumed your need.
I wasn't sure about specifies...
...but there's a lot of things
in here just go though it okay.
I have to run now.
If there's anything you need
just call me okay?
Nice to meet you.
Eye?
Eye?
Eye?
Eye?
What's the matter?
I have a headache.
After you take your medicine, rest.
Drawing pictures without
eating isn't good for you.
Why don't you go to bed?
It's more comfortable.
Is it okay?
Is the medicine helping?
I feel better.
Thank you very much, Jee.
You don't have to thank me.
Actually,
I should apologize to you.
Why apologize?
I drove the car that hit you.
It's all right.
At least you didn't hit me and run.
Fall in love?
Why did you say that?
Man, I don't know.
Hello.
It's Jackie, how you're feeling?
Better.
You have to see us.
We got a job.
No man, I quit.

Excellent.

It will be perfect.
Thanks so much. Good night.
Hungry?
Drink some milk.
Your face is dirty.
Are you hurt!
Of course it hurts, you nut!
Scott.
What?
It snow yesterday.
Then what?
It was...
...like a dream.
Eye...
Eye...
Eye...
I'm afraid man.
Afraid of what?
I'm afraid that
she will forget me some day.
Boss.
Jee won't work for us anymore.
I don't trust this Thai boy.
He knows too much.
Beside, we don't know who took the stuff.
Why don't you kill him.
Jee came with Chai.
But Chai is dead.
Jackie!
Did you find out who kill my nephew yet?
No yet, sir.
You take care of that thing first.
Here you are ten thousand dollars.
Well, aren't you gonna count it?
No, okay. Have is the invitation
for the grand opening.
Open it up.
Isn't it beautiful?
To Miss Irada and Mr. Jeeradej.
Well, I gotta run now.
I'll see you the opening night.
- See you the opening night.
- See ya.
And don't forget to dress up.
C'mon! They're just plane tickets!
Not just the plane tickets.
These are tickets back to Thailand.
What's the matter?
What if I don't have parents back
in Thailand?
Then, how about living with me?
I think I look a little strange.
Don't you think so? Not at all!
I've never seen anyone
look as good as you do.
Well, I am the only one person
you know.
One is enough.
Here we are.
Eye...
Eye...
She didn't got a chance...
...to see her complete work.
There's a problem with brain.
And the only way is to operate.
I have to sign the release paper
for her operation...
...cause I'm the only person
she know.
Doctor hasn't give me
any assurance...
...that she's gonna make it.
But if don't sign, she won't get
that chance at all.
He didn't even say when
she will wake up...
...if she will ever wake up again.
It's almost two months now...
...still have no sign of waking up.
I ran out of money
for her medication.
The doves on statue have flown away.
I'm broke man.
The driver's job is taken.
Just any job any job is fine for me.
I'll do anything.
Now he wants the job.
There is no job...
...only assassination job.
I need money.
Have you shot anybody before.
Yeah once with Chan.
Chan.
Yeah.
Don't tell me it was that job
at New Jersey.
How do you know?
I'm the boss of this business
I know a lot of things.
So can you remember whom
you shot that night.
I don't know we fail that night.
Chan was killed.
You are not bad at all.
You killed someone that night.
Jackie.
Give him a job.
You probably wouldn't want me
to do this.
Hey.
Jackie, why are you here?
St. Louis Hospital, Bangkok.
Kaewta's neuro-surgery
was already performed in New York.
Does this mean she's well?
In this case, we can definitely
call it a miracle.
Meaw, does Kaewta's father know
she's back?
Her father didn't even know
she went to New York.
I took a taxi from the airport.
The driver talked all the time.
Next thing I know he was taking me
outside of the city.
I don't know where
he dropped me off.
But I managed to jump out.
Then a car came out of nowhere
and hit me.
The next thing I remember,
I was lying in the hospital.
As soon as I woke up,
I called Muay to pick me up.
Muay said you were in the hospital
for two months.
What about the three months
before that?
I don't know.
That's all I can remember.
Muay? About Ake
Did I ever tell you I was sorry?
Can you actually say sorry?
I'm sorry, Muay.
I'm not mad at you.
I knew that you and Ake
would end up like this.
Will we ever find men who
truly love us?
You see that sea out there?
Finding a good man is like we
trying to find a needle there.
So when are you coming back
to Thailand, again?
Not sure. I'm so busy at work.
Oh! I almost forgot!
Kaewta, I never thought you'd wear
something like this.
Are you crazy?
This isn't mine.
What are you talking about?
The hospital said that's what
you had on when you checked in...
Let me see that.
Irada was your name in the US.
Jeeradej was the one
who paid for the hospital.
Do you remember anything?
Are you hungry?
Kaewta?
Kaewta?
What's wrong?
His house is around here?
It was near the bridge.
That bridge.
That's the Manhattan Bridge.
Muay, stop!
Right here?
Meaw, wait in the car, ok?
No way, not after this long trip.
I'm afraid someone is going to fuck
with my car.
What? And what about me?
C'mon. Who'd wanna fuck with you.
It's you.
What do you want?
I'm here to see G he lives here.
He doesn't live here anymore.
Where would he go.
Where have you been?
Don't you know the guy is dead.
Dead... No... That's not true.
Of course it's true.
I saw with my own eyes.
Now get out of here.
Or you wanna come in?
Hello Peter. It's Jeff.
Remember the artist who did
that paintings for my place?
She's here and she wants
to buy then back.
Muay, park here!
Give me just three minutes.
Watch out for the traffic!
Told you!
You stay with me here!
Do you believe in destiny?
Eye
Jee
Where have you been?
I went back to Thailand.
Why do you look like this?
Do you remember that homeless guy?
He died.
I was afraid you wouldn't be
able to remember this place.
Scott.
She didn't forget me.
That's love man.
That is love.
