Here's Wilailek Wisnan,

or Kaew, my daughter.

Good afternoon, Madame Boonlueng.

Welcome to Wisnan Mansion.

Thank you, Miss Kaew.

You're such an adorable young lady.

This is Kajorn, my son.

I hope you too will become friends.

Good afternoon.

I'm delighted to have you in our family.

The pleasure is mine, Miss Kaew.

This is Wad, Wilailek's mother.

Good afternoon. Please make yourself at home.

Thank you for your kindness.

And these are the servants

who' II look after you.

Nice to meet you all.

Our lives are in your hands now.

Please be kind to us.

Please go upstairs

and make yourself comfortable.

Snacks are ready on the balcony.

This way please.

Please, Boonlueng.

You must be tired.

What else can I do?

A servant is always the one who sweats.

Fancy a drink? Whiskey or juice?

Ken, you're a handsome devil!

Yourself likewise!

I hardly see you dressed up like this.

You're better-looking than that Mr. Kajorn.

Watch it Ken. He's coming down.

Ma'am, uncle and my mother

will come down a little late.

So I' II help you take care of

the guests in the meantime.

Mr. Kajorn, this is Jan, the lord's eldest son.

Good evening, Mr. Kajorn.

Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jan.

My pleasure.

Drink, sir?

I'm so sorry!

I'm sorry about that.

Ken is not familiar with formal functions.

It's all right, ma'am.

Don't worry about it.

Excuse me for a moment, ma'am... Mr. Jan.

Ken, behave your manners.

It was an accident. I didn't mean to spill it.

Foreign guests are here,

Jan please welcome them.

Yes, Aunt Wad.

Good evening, Sir.

Good evening.

Welcome to the party.

Lord Wisnandecha, Madame Boonlueng...

They are very busy right now.

I guess they will be in the party in a few minutes.

This way please.

Now they are coming, Sir.

Welcome Peter. Welcome to my house.

Good evening Lord Wisnandecha.

Good evening, Madame Boonlueng.

Good evening, Peter.

Thank you for coming.

It's my pleasure.

May I introduce my daughter, Mary.

Good evening, Sir.

Good evening, Madam.

And my daughter, Wilailek.

Good evening, Sir.

Good evening, Miss.

And my son, Kajorn. You knew him already.

Good evening, Peter. And Mary too.

Good evening.

So, welcome to my party.

Come in, Mary.

Go back to your hole.

You' re not welcome here, scum.

Don't go. Stay and help me.

Yes.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am lord Wisnandecha,

your host tonight...

and president of Bangkok Pijitwanich Company.

I'm delighted to make an announcement

that my company had signed a deal

to form an international joint venture

with East Asia Company of Mr. Peter

Owen in Singapore already.

I believe that our company will continue

to prosper and play a leading role

I believe that our company will continue

to prosper and play a leading role

in the international trade

between Siam and the world.

I'm pleased to announce Madame Boonlueng

Jangtrakul of

Phuket International Enterprise

as an executive consultant in this project.

To celebrate this special occasion

That's what it's all about, Jan.

I'd like to introduce you

to the most amazing woman in my life...

Madame Boonlueng.

I'm not much of a speaker,

please allow me to sing you a song

to celebrate this delightful evening.

When will you find me?

When will we I see you again?

We've pledged our love

Before we parted, I still remember

We' re apart, but our hearts are near

The sadness mixed with fear

You' re overwhelmed, but I keep crying

Don't you know, inside I'm weeping

I've been thinking about the time we shared

The promise that you'll come

and take me everywhere!

When will I be satisfied?

How I wish time could fly!

Wherever you wish, I'll go with you

My love is strong, I'm not afraid of anything

Thinking about the time we shared...

Thinking about the time we shared...

From that day on...

From that day on...

Thinking about the promise...

Thinking about the promise...

That you' II come and take me...

When will I be satisfied?

How I wish time could fly!

Wherever you wish, I'll go with you

My love is strong, I'm not afraid of anything

This morning,

the government of Kingdom of Siam

has suppressed the coup attempt led by

Prince Boworadej

at the battle at Bang Khen field.

We now ask all citizens to remain calm.

Do not attempt any hostile

activities against the government.

We hereby announce this to all of you.

Let's have breakfast.

I'll just have coffee.

I'm in a hurry to see the prince.

What's the matter?

Prince Boworadej's troops were defeated by the

government's at Bang Khen.

The soldiers from Korat

were charged with treason.

I'm worried about my prince...

I'm afraid he'll get caught in the mess.

I guess the Palace Ministry

will soon be abolished.

Are you leaving now?

I can't stomach anything now.

Maybe I' II eat something at the prince's palace.

Uncle, would you give me a ride to the school?

Of course.

But please stop calling me "uncle".

Call me "father".

Yes, father.

Madame Boonleung, is there anything?

I'd like to thank you for

arranging the party last night.

You must be exhausted.

This is a small gift from me.

A perfume that's very popular around the world.

Thank you so much.

I wasn't that tired actually.

The servants worked much harder than I did.

Please thank them all for me.

I will.

Miss Wad, I'm an honest woman,

I can't speak with a sugar tongue.

I'd like to make myself clear,

because we' re now sharing the same roof.

I never wanted anything when I decided

to come live here with my lord.

I believe you've heard about my financial status...

Yes, I have.

I mean, we're no longer young.

What happens in bed isn't a matter of life

and death to us any more

Do you agree?

So why have you come here?

For business?

No. Not at all!

Then what is it?

I've come here for love.

If you've ever loved someone

with the burning passion of a young heart...

but you never had a chance

to share your life with him.

You' II understand why I'm here.

I understand you, sincerely.

Thank you so much.

Ken, is that you?

Are you Jan?

You shouldn't come here.

Why not?

No one comes in here, except Aunt Wad,

Poom and Ken.

If father knows, there' II be a big trouble!

Then don't let him know.

Your drawing is very impressive.

Did you sketch these from photographs,

or from experience?

Please give it back to me.

What if...

I refuse?

Then I'm in big trouble.

Actually, you should let me keep it

as a welcome present.

Let me find something else for you.

How would you know what I like

and what I don't, young man?

Wait, Madame.

Madame Boonleung.

Ma'am!

Madame Boonleung!

You play so beautifully, just like your singing.

Thank you.

I've brought you these carved fruits as a small gift.

A token of goodwill from me.

Thank you. They' re so beautiful

that I don't want to eat them!

People are like fruits.

We have to peel off the skin

and clean it first,

before we can taste its true flavor.

Don't you agree?

Look at the fabric I just bought, ma'am!
