Thai Cave Rescue – Episode 4 Recap

With a heavy heart, Pim and Kelly approached the villagers for their consent to channel the water pump to their farmland. Although most of them initially disagreed as it would cost them their livelihood, they eventually agreed to it after one of the villagers stand up for the boys. Nevertheless, Kelly felt extremely guilty as the farmer’s sacrifice might not guarantee the boys’ safety. In fact, the villagers were extremely kind to Kelly, even offering her food and letting her know that they understand the gravity of the situation.

As tensions are high outside the caves, the divers prepared the boys to learn how to dive. The boys were taught the basics of the gears and how to breathe underwater. During his first trial of diving, Tee had some difficulties breathing and had to stop. This affected him and subsequently, he failed to go underwater again. At night, Baitoey noticed Tee crying alone and talked to him. Tee revealed that Navy officer Aran had told him that his father was outside waiting for him. As Tee’s father works in construction in Myanmar, he usually cannot afford to take any day off. Tee felt burdened that he failed to dive and is yet causing his family so much trouble and sacrifice. Baitoey consoled the young boy and motivated him to continue learning how to dive.
