Pat and Pim are arguing between each other. Pat exposes to Pim that she knows everything, now, how Pim drugged her that one night, called Arthorn to set up the adultery scene, and was the person who sent the photos to Pope with an anonymous SIM card. (I guess, they were karaoking/singing at a school, which had a nurse's office, not hospital, sorry for the prior mistake.) Arthorn pulled up the CCTV and it captured Pim disposing of the SIM card after the incident. Pim denied all of the allegations and asked why would she do that? Pat said Pim did everything for Pope's bird egg island. Pim made Pat become Kat's adopted mother (?), so that if anything should happen to Pope, the bird egg island would go to Kat. (Pope and Pat aren't legally married, so nothing goes to Pat. Remember how Pope will only marry Pat ceremonially for two years, but never sign the marriage papers with her because he believes she's a gold digging machine. However, Kat is legally Pope's child.) Since Kat is still a child, as her guardian, Pat would have all rights and because of the rift Pim has created between Pat and Pope, Pat would end up hating Pope so much to a point where she would have nothing to do with him or anything related to him, so she would end up giving it to Pim like how Pim had planned. Pim was shocked that Pat knew all of her intentions and plans. Pat said she no longer trusted in Pim and for someone to know Pat this well, it must have been none other than Pim, who is her sister. Pim still denied all of the accusations and told Pat it may be too late. Pat suddenly thinks about Pope that his life may be in danger and dashes out to see him. Pope is still stuck in a meeting, so he ignores Pat's calls. All of a sudden there are gun shots. Pope gets shot but he's fine, as he's protected by a bullet proof vest. Yood and his team of policemen come rushing in. Pat pulls up inside her car and watches Pope from far away, knowing that he's safe is good enough for her.
Khun Mongkhon is upset at Kamron (Oh's character) and Pim for a ruined plan. He wants the bird egg island ASAP. He beats up Kamron and threatens Pim that if Pim doesn't hurry up and get that island for him, she'll be next. Pim and Kamron are talking at how lucky Pope has been to survive the assassinations. Pim realizes that it's not luck but someone had betrayed them and told Pope their plans and all fingers are pointed towards Marathee. Kamron remembers Marathee being present in one of the phone calls he had.
Pim calls Pat at night asking for her to come out because she's desperately in need of help. Pat comes out to meet Pim at a dark dusty alley. Pim asks Pat to find a new place for her to stay and some money to spend because she's trying to hide for a while. (At this point, Pim and Ahnop are on bad terms and verge of divorce with him not giving her a dime.) Pim also asks Pat to tell people that she's been with Pim all day, so that if the police suspect her of assassinating Pope, Pat can be her witness that Pim wasn't present at the scene at all and prove her innocence. Pat rejects and says she's done helping Pim do wrong things. That Pim should try to do things the correct way, legally. Pim becomes angry and begins to mention how Pat owes her because she saved Pat's life when they were younger.
Arthorn and Prao exit out of the car and Pim is shocked to see them there. Arthorn can't stand it any longer and tells Pim that he's disappointed and hurt that Pim has used the drowning incident as a way to harass, steal, and have leverage over Pat for the past decades. Arthorn and Prao both yell at Pim for being heartless in that she purposely broke up Pat's marriage and family life just for her own benefits when she was the one who made Pat borrow the money in the first place and never paid it back. If Arthorn knew Pim would use Pat like this, he wouldn't have lied for her. Pim tells Arthorn to stop because he promised her he won't tell anyone the truth. Arthorn tells Pat that the one who saved her wasn't Pim but it was him. That day, Pat was playing with her doll next to the pond. Pim wanted it too, but Pat didn't give it to Pim, so Pim got mad and pushed her into the pond. The doll dropped onto the ground and Pim watched Pat drown with satisfaction. Arthorn who saw the whole thing came running towards Pim asking why she did that. Arthorn told Pim that Pat can't swim well either. Pim started to panic and told Arthorn to go help Pat. Arthorn jumps into the pond and brings Pat up after several attempts. Arthorn tells Pim to watch Pat while he runs to go tell their dad. Before Arthorn gets going, Pim makes him promise to never tell anyone that she was the one who pushed Pat into the pond because if the dad finds out the truth, Pim is going to get in deep trouble. Arthorn feels sorry for Pim, so he promises and leaves. Pim is afraid that Pat won't wake up and she'll get in trouble, so she starts yelling for Pat to wake up. As Pat slowly wakes up, she hears Pim yelling for her to get up and misunderstands that Pim was the one who saved her. Pat is extremely hurt and tells Pim that there were many times Pat had to suck it in and do things she didn't want to because she felt like she owed Pim her life.
On a side note towards the end....awww, poor Pope. The convo between Pope and Na Sa happened early on, but it's being retold to Pat.
Na Sa asked Pope if he loves Pat.
Pope answers: I do love her. I love Patlada. Because I love her very much, I hurt very much when she betrays me.
Na Sa: So you project that sorrow towards Noo Pat by hurting her heart?
Pope: It's not that I don't feel anything na krap, Na Sa. I hurt every time I do it, but it still hurts less when Pat sides with her sister and betrays me.
I really like one of the lines Na Sa says to Pope and retold to Pat, which totally explains the title of the lakorn. It's something I don't remember if the previous version had or not but Na Sa tells Pope and Pat to reconcile their relationship/marriage if they really love one another. With love, there comes forgiveness. That if they both truly love each other, they should start anew.
Truelife Chapter 26, Page 21, Na Sa says: Khun Pope, you're doubting and have no trust in Noo Pat. Doubt/mistrust is the enemy of love na ka. It will make you and Noo Pat's love become only a passing path that can never arrive at its purposed destination.
Tang Parn Kammathep literally means, Tang is road/path, Parn is to pass, Kammathep is cupid. So based on that line Na Sa told Pope, there's so much meaning. It's like they were fated to be but it's up to them to make it their destiny. Just like in the beginning, both met in the middle of a passing road, it is up to them to go all the way down that road to reach their destination or just consider it as a passing path and move on. It sounds so much better in Thai, though. Or perhaps I'm just bad at translating. Haha.
