[panting]

What now?

Did you see

how that Ares of yours
failed miserably? I told you.

It can never compete
with Bitbull.

If you just want to
antagonize me, I'll leave.

Wait.

[breathes deeply]

My offer still stands.

Come work for me.

I'm happy to let you
use our family name.

Let the past be the past.

As a father,

I forgive you.

You're not my father.

[suspenseful music playing]

[clicking]

That stupid family
name of yours,

keep it to yourself.

I don't want it.

Get!

You are not to
talk to me like that.

Now that you know
I'm not your father,

do you know who your father is?

Did your mom tell you

she had an affair, got pregnant,

and gave you to me to raise?

How am I to accept a child
from adultery to be my son?

You and your mom
are in great debt to me.

Be thankful I
raised you this long.

Wait!

Your mom left you
an inheritance.

It's in a safe in this house.

Ice is the one
who holds the key.

To wrap this up,

I want you to talk to Ice,

open that safe,
and take everything out.

You're to pay me back every
single dime because I raised you.

Since we aren't father and son,

this is the fairest
solution for everyone.

That's it?

You raised me
for the inheritance?

A pig waiting to be slaughtered?

That's my worth?

[breathing heavily]

[crickets chirping]

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

Get off me!
Do not stop me!

[man] Here's my friend who
invested in Ares and lost everything.

I heard he was
scammed or something.

He lost all his savings.

He even took out a loan
in millions to invest.

I want to die!

[man] This is bad.

It's essentially a
Ponzi scheme. A scam.

I want to die!
[sobbing]

[phone clicks]

Your best friend, Bank,

didn't just fool us
into building Ares

and fled to work for Bitbull.

[sighs] Everything he told us

is a lie, too.

[keyboard clacking]

He did get into MIT,

but he dropped out
after one year.

I tried to look for something
else on him but found nothing.

I'm suspecting that

he returned to Thailand

because he ran away
from Bitcoin fraud.

[suspenseful music playing]

Three years ago,

some Bitcoins were
stolen from an exchange.

It was big news then.

The price dropped for a while.

But the hacker
was still out there

because those Bitcoins
weren't activated.

And?

Not long after,

Whale Alert on Twitter
updated that

those Bitcoins were activated
and moved to a cold wallet.

This was about the same time
we launched Ares.

Don't tell me...

The Bitcoin he sold to build the
exchange were the ones he stole.

He's also the one who
organized the flash loans attack

because he knows
Ares's vulnerabilities best.

[breathing heavily]

What the f*ck is this?

What now?

How are we getting back at him?

No idea.

Maybe just let it go?

I can't help you with anything.

Can you stop whining?

You're not useless.

Don't act like what others say.

You know what you're good at.

Why don't you make use of that?

What?

Rhetoric.

Make use of your speech!

At least explain our situation

to calm our investors down

to prevent further incidents.

[man on phone] Here's my friend
who invested in Ares and lost everything.

I heard he was
scammed or something.

He lost all his savings.

He even took out a loan
in millions to invest.

This is bad.

[man 2] I want to die!

Hello, all investors.

I'd like to inform you

that Ares was attacked
by a bad actor,

leading to extreme fluctuation.

Despite our security measures,

the attack went through.

We have successfully
suppressed the attack.

Every other pool
is still 100% safe.

After this incident, we'll
heighten our security measures.

Please stay calm.

We are aware of the situation.

Investors who suffer loss

or require urgent assistance

will be contacted with
the best solution for you.

Please rest assured

that we will do anything

to return Ares
to its normal status.

BITBULL ON HOLD
NO ENDORSEMENT OF CURRENCY

[knocks on door]

Hello.
[sighs]

I saw the news.

The person who tipped off

the Securities and Exchange
Commission to take action

must be T-Asset's competitor.

That one competitor
has always been wanting

to hinder us from the start.

They probably want to catch up.

They'll do anything
to slow us down.

I couldn't care less
about a fly.

What I care is

keeping the auction
project going.

Can you do that, Wichit?

Since the SEC took such action,

I don't think I can do anything.

This isn't a place to let

your political nature run wild.

Don't make beautiful promises

which you won't deliver.

[sighs]

What we agreed on was
just the skytrain project

running past your mall.

This land auction with Bull coins
was never part of the agreement.

Do what I said.

[cellphone chimes]

BITBULL


I hope that
lightened up your mind

to think of ideas
to keep the project going.

[sighs]

I'll find a way.

Please excuse me.

Weekly report.

Did I interrupt something?

It's fine.

Oh.

I forgot to tell you.

I'll need to spend Bull
coins for something.

Can I say no?

I just want to advise you

that we shouldn't
spend Bull coin arbitrarily.

It might cause issues
in the future.

What issues?

You know well our
supply is unlimited.

He keeps asking for
more as days go by.

That means we're
still of use to him.

What's important is how
long we can keep this status.

Have you heard this saying?

Butcher the donkey after it
finished his job on the mill.

Our only way to survival is

to successfully push
this project.

About the SEC halting
the Bull coin auction,

what's your thought on it?

I can't give you any input

as I'm a programmer.

My job is to build the system.

You two do not
have any solution?

This time,

it could be the end of Bitbull.

Stablecoin.

Stablecoin?

What is it?

Normally, the value
of cryptocurrencies

like Bitcoin,
Ethereum, or Bull coins

are influenced based
on demand and supply.

Say, if we bid
for a plot of land

with the unstable Bull coins,

we probably can get it at
ten million baht one day.

But the next day,
when the Bull price drops

and we want to sell that
ten-million plot of land,

it might only
be worth a million.

And?

Stablecoin can solve that issue

because it's pegged
to a reference asset.

For instance,

US Dollars and USDT.

In Thailand, when
we're buying crypto coins,

we'll top up our wallet

by transferring via banks.

Abroad, they use stablecoin
to buy cryptocurrency

for maintaining liquidity
and low fluctuation.

If we can build a stablecoin
pegged to Thai baht

to be used in the land
auction in place of Bull coins,

the SEC will have no excuse
for fluctuation anymore.

There has never been a
Thai baht stablecoin before.

Where do you think
we should begin?

And how can we be sure

that the SEC and Bank of
Thailand will be in on this?

I might have to
look into it further.

There are details that...

So you know nothing.

[sighs]

In my opinion, I
think they'll be in on it

because stablecoin
is backed by assets.

It's not made out of thin air,
as the misconception goes.

Asset backed?

Gold or Thai baht

or even plots of land
owned by T-Asset

can be used as a backing asset.

Bitbull will be the first

to build stablecoin.

If this becomes a success,

this coin will become
another Thai currency

that will circulate
in the Bitbull chain.

To turn this into a reality,

we require
Mr. Wichit's expertise

to help push this initiative.

I doubt this is
too difficult for you?

[sighs]

I'll do my best.

Not just your best.

You will make this happen.

Do you understand?

You two and your team
can get started.

Your performance dropped a lot.

I had high
expectations from you.

Try harder.

Don't just rely on others.

[sighs]

Yes.

I will try harder.

But Mr. Trin,

I'd like to have
a word with you.

You should not trust the
new employee too much.

Everything he has done so far

solved all the problems.

It has been suspiciously smooth.

Thank you.

I need a favor.

Meet me at our location.

[Jane] Bank.

[man] Here's my friend who
invested in Ares and lost everything.

I heard he was
scammed or something.

You did this, right?

Do you feel anything?

You drove them into suicide.

You always kept saying,

"Crypto will provide wealth

and improve the quality
of everyday people's life."

And how can you
treat them like this?

You can't prove anything.

You underestimate me.

I know all about you
stealing Bitcoin abroad.

What?

You thought nobody
will ever find it again?

I have all the evidence.

Just one click

and everything will
be sent to Interpol.

What do you want?

I should be the one
asking you that.

Why did you treat us like this?

[sighs]

Hey!

The information
is in the envelope.

It's been too quiet

and too smooth.

Find out everything there is.

Is this your competitor?

An employee.

Okay, I'll keep you updated.

[soothing Japanese
music playing]

You've only been
here for a while,

but you did great work.

Mr. Trin is very
satisfied with you.

Don't you want to bid
on a plot of land

in this auction idea of yours?

I don't have the money.

[chuckles]

I can talk
to Mr. Trin.

Considering all your ideas
that made this happen,

Mr. Trin can
arrange you anything.

What do you get in return?

He gave me Bitbull shares.

Considering what
I've done for him,

I think it's
a reasonable reward.

Did it include
bringing me into Bitbull?

[chuckles]

Yes.

That's why I think you
deserve something too.

[smacks lips]

So,

how about we see

what those lands look like?

RENOWNED REAL ESTATE
INVESTOR DIED BY SUICIDE

[knocks on door]

Please come in.

Mr. Wit,
you're under arrest

on the charge of money
laundering and embezzlement.

You're coming with us.

I didn't do anything!

[officer] Come with us.

Please.

Trin! Call our lawyer!

[men grunting]

Trin?

Come with us!

This way.

This way.

[sighing]

I didn't do it.

I've never seen these documents.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING OFFICE

I assigned Wit to
take care of all these

because I have other
things to attend to.

So, I needed help.

Wit is my friend.

We're close.

I trusted him.

One day,

his team came to talk
with me about this.

There are discrepancies

in the financial statements.

We investigated

and discovered transfers
through several accounts

before ending up
in Wit's account

and his family's.

It's not true.

These documents are forgeries.

We checked.

These are your signature.

All the money is routed to you.

Not to mention witnesses
who worked closely with you.

You're not listening.

Before this,

there was a conflict
between me and Trin.

I'm compiling evidence
against him.

So, you have evidence.

Where are they?

My personal laptop.

You can check.

Thank you.

Where are they?

I had them here! What
did you do to my laptop?

No one's tinkering
with your laptop.

We brought it here
along with you.

I swear I kept
the evidence here.

Because you mentioned
that Mr. Trin is behind this,

we also did a check on him.

We didn't find any evidence
or anything suspicious.

I want you to take your time

to think carefully.

Tell us the truth.

Maybe we can talk
about leniency.

[Ann] Nice vibe.

I think I want one now.

Ask Trin.

[scoffs]

I can get one myself.

To be real, normal,
everyday people like us

will never get a chance to buy
tens of acres of land as he does.

Especially a big plot of
land by a river like this.

[chuckles]

Your idea of the land
auction with Bull coin

allows people to access such
an exclusive asset like this.

[chuckles]

A dream of having a
riverside home with a nice vibe

that is this lovely

is now possible.

The bid price says otherwise.

For normal people,

that dream is
still hard to reach.

[lawyer] It's a shame.

Such a beautiful home next to
the river doesn't come by often.

[sighing]

Are you selling the house, Dad?

I'm sorry.

It's okay. When I
grow up and get a job,

I'll buy it back and
we can live together.

[sighs]

This one's heavy.

[grunting]

[gasping]

Are you going to sh**t me?

Have you thought
about after k*lling me,

how the lives of your wife
and son will change?

Particularly, the child.

He'll be condemned
as the son of a m*rder*r.

Or maybe after k*lling me,

you'll k*ll your son,

your wife,

and yourself.

The whole family.

[sniffling]

Please.

Put the g*n down, please.

You're a great man,
Wit. Don't do this.

Let me help you.

Take my offer.

[breathing heavily]

Get out!

Get the f*ck out!

[shuddering]

I'm trying to help.

I bought your riverside home.

I know your lawyer.

He's a friend.

So, I bought it.

If you compromise

and just do your time,

I promise to keep the house

and whenever you're out of jail,

I'll return it to you.

Don't be stubborn.
You will never win.

[both sobbing]

[Ann] Bank?

Are you alright?

What's on your mind?

I just had some thoughts.

If I buy this land,

what could I do with it?

Didn't you say you
don't have the money?

Can I stay at
your place tonight?

I don't want to be with
you in just hotels anymore.

And you?

Do you think about taking the
next step in our relationship?

SUICIDE CASE
OF WELL-KNOWN REALTOR

[Bank's mother]
No, don't k*ll him!

[Bank] Mom.

No!

[suspenseful music playing]

Bank?

What are you trying to do?

[door opens]

[door closes softly]

[suspenseful music playing]

[cellphone vibrating]

Hello.

[man] We got something.
It was not easy

because someone attempted
to hide this information

to prevent someone
from piecing them together.

I sent everything
to you via email.

Thank you.

You'll be paid as usual.

PIM - BANK - WIT

[tense music playing]

[chimes]

[cellphone vibrating]

Hello.

[Trin] I need your help.

Track the location of
this email I just sent you.

I'll check later. My laptop
isn't with me right now.

Is that so?

I thought you were home.

You went out with Bank at noon.

Are you two together?

I will keep you updated.

PIM - BANK - WIT
