Are you sure this is the best way?

Gold will remain gold.

It can't be hidden from people with ill intentions

We're doing a monk's duty.

Hey.

Let me go.

Parn. Let go of me.

Por, where's my money?

Where's the money I asked you to keep?

I threw it away, son of a bitch.

You threw it away?

What did you say, bastard?

Come here. You come here.

- Let go of me. - You come here.

Shit. Let go of me.

Shut up.

Don't you know the money you threw away was seven million,

not seventy baht.

Let me go.

How did you threw it away?

Son of a bitch. Bastard.

That was unnecessary, Singh.

Por

if we can't get that money

how could mom be able to see again?

The cops were chasing my ass.

If I didn't hide it

Would mom ever going to get the money? Bastard

What a wimp.

Where is the money?

Shit

Hurry up, big sister.

Hurry up.

- what's taking you so long? - Big sister, what are you doing?

hurry up.

Come on, deal.

Deal.

Let's play today.

Bad shuffling. Just a minute. One more time.

You motormouth. Don't ask for my feet.

My lucky day.

How many hands? How much?

-Two hands. Come on. -Two hands.

Stop talking.

I've brought my lucky charm.

I don't have to cross my fingers.

Captain.

Police Police

Stop. I'll handle it.

Hey, I've paid. What more do you want, huh?

I've paid on the table, under the table,

even under the bed.

What's this? I get a traffic ticket?

Upstairs please.

Come on.

Get back to the game.

Officer, you want to play a game?

Five or ten baht.

Come on, let's have some fun.

Hmm… Pree.

What is it?

Do you want to sleep on prison bed tonight?

Hurry up. What are you waiting for?

Get out.

What. I haven't got paid.

Shit.

Where's Singh?

How would I know?

You're a cop and you don't know.

How would a hooker like me know?

What kind of an informant are you?

Not knowing where your damn husband is?

I've told you everything I know, captain.

Who doesn't want money?

His partners and him just shot and killed two police officers.

Whenever you see him,

beat him up, kill him.

Asshole.

You two don't go wimpy on me.

The cops won't find us.

You just killed two of them last night.

Won't you just shut up.

If I didn't, your ass would be sitting in the slammer right now.

I'm so freaking grateful

that you gunned down the cops in front of my mom's house.

Her son was the one bringing trouble home.

The cops laid in wait for you there everyday, don't you know?

How could I know?

Running away again, bastard.

Hey.

I'm getting confused. Is it this temple?

Last time I was here, I didn't see this hall.

Is this the wrong temple?

Hey, there.

This is it.

I recognize that monk.

I think the money is underneath here.

You said the money is underneath?

Money,

the money is underneath?

Right.

The money is under this hall?

Son of a bitch.

If the money is really under this hall,

we'll have to dig it up.

Could you do it in one day, Singh?

Just seize this temple and dig it up.

This is a temple,

not a farm.

Don't you want money?

We have to stay here without being noticed.

Three thieves in the temple.

How do you want to disguise yourself?

As the gable apex, its edges, or the wall?

Monks.

Did you have a brainfart?

Think about it.

All the cops in the area are looking for us.

Shit

I'll go along with your brainfart.

No way.

If you want me to stay, I'll stay.

But not as a monk. Hell, no.

You be the monks.

It's all your money.

My money...

is your money.

Hey, a monk.

Good timing, father.

Ordain us.

Ordain.

We want to be ordained.

Not me.

If you're not a monk, you'll stay here to help us.

Think it over.

The monk’s robe won’t be able to cover you for long.

Singh,

that's a monk.

Like I haven't done it.

I'm curious if an old monk,

still cares for his life.

Hey.

Father, please.

This bastard is really going to shoot.

Don't let things get worse, please father.

We're just running away from troubles.

Father, I beg you, please.

What the hell are you looking at? Never saw a monk before?

I've realized that no suffering equals those of the five bodily aggregates.

How could I extinguish this suffering?

That's yours. Por,

take this one.

This one's mine.

Let's go dig.

You moron.

You start digging now, everyone will know we're thieves.

So what?

Can't you wait until people are asleep?

Ok.

You three,

I need to talk to you.

I told all the monks here

that you two are on pilgrimage.

I'm really grateful, father

for giving us a perfect sanctuary.

I want you to adhere

to the rules of the temple, just like other monks.

Including monk's duties.

I don't want anyone to suspect

about what you are doing here.

Who's the boss here?

It's called the abbot.

This will be your chamber.

I want to ask you to realize that

you are in monk's robes now,

even though you're not real ones.

Please behave appropriately.

Is that all?

I'll get some sleep now. Such a grouser.

Father,

you had to violate the monk's precept for not lying, didn't you?

Hurry up.

You're still here?

Asked for my foot once before. You'll get one now.

Hey, I think it must be here.

Are you sure?

Right here for sure.

How long is it going to take?

I really want to kill you. It's all because of you.

Hurry up

Hey

What is it?
