Original subtitles

If the spirit of Noi remains unbound,

we ask that you appear before us.

Let the unknown be known.

Let the concealed be brought to light.

Noi!

I only wish for a love charm.

Might I suggest the magical plant?

Boil these leaves and give that tea to your intended to drink for a few days.

If Master Saenkam cursed you with a love charm,

you shall become sick.

Cast a love charm with a plant?

Lady Pim, stop at once!

It is all because of you that I couldn't eat or sleep for months.

You shall die today!

This is an all-out war, sir!

- Stop! - Stop at once!

Va, stop! All of you, stop!

Dear! Why would you hug Lady Pim?!

Fate is indeed cruel.

It can confine us as servants of all kinds.

Our bodies may be confined for any reason,

yet our hearts shall always be free.

We can hold anyone in our hearts.

Five cases of fighting over Saenkam's magical leaves have been reported.

Four were cursed and fell ill by Master Saenkam's magic.

Eight were reported to be under a love charm from Master Saenkam's leaves.

All of that

in only one week,

Minister of the Capital?

Yes.

It appears Ayothaya has no problems

other than its people using magic on each other.

And how are we supposed

to investigate and judge these cases?

We shall only be able to record them.

For the past month, the people of Ayothaya,

nobles and citizens alike,

have been unable to perform their duties.

Their sole activity for the past month has been begging for these magical leaves.

Are there any other reports

of missing female servants?

None at this time, sir.

Luang, I heard that your wife went for these leaves as well, did she not?

Uh, well…

Has your wife told you about watering this plant with blood?

She said that chicken blood can also be used as an offering.

Who would be savage enough to slaughter a person for offerings, My Lord?

And how are these leaves supposed to be used, My Lord?

To consume them, we can boil them as tea

or chew them right away.

I was told that they are truly magical.

The aspirations for advancement,

recuperation from ailment, or the enchantment of affection

are all realized.

But it is not right

to let people be much obsessed with superstitions, Minister of the Capital.

Yes, Chief of the Armed Forces.

I shall dispatch patrols for observation now and then.

Help! Please help me!

My daughter has been raped and violated by Master Saenkam!

Help me!

Please help! Please help me!

My Lord.

The Minister of the Capital

is sending his force to arrest Master Saenkam.

What is happening this time?!

Jaokhun.

I wish you would let this matter go.

I shall teach Master Saenkam a lesson myself.

The person who reported this offense is Chum,

and she is Muen Arak's wife, not a commoner.

Their daughter has been violated and detained

in that house for months.

Do they have no shame

for reporting such a matter?

This way of thought

shall only encourage Saenkam to commit these crimes.

He may think that the lady and her family will be ashamed.

See what happens now.

He is facing the people who do not fear to report him.

I wish to mediate with Chum myself.

Please, My Lord.

It does not have to be a criminal case.

But this case

shall be watched closely by the Chief of the Armed Forces.

We must pursue justice.

Then, I have an offer.

For this rice concession from China,

I shall have you be the one to manage it.

Twenty thousand haap, My Lord.

Really?

Twenty thousand haap?

Yes.

I shall settle this matter today.

And for the case of Chum's daughter,

let us put it behind us. Is an agreement in place, My Lord?

Withdraw my accusation?

Look at her.

My daughter was raped by Saenkam,

and she is now lying there, lost her mind completely.

And you wish for me to withdraw?!

The authorities feel truly sorry for you and your daughter.

And if there is a criminal case, all shall be aware of this disgrace.

Your daughter shall lose all her honor.

Would it not be for the best if this issue were forgotten?

Let them all be aware then! She is my daughter.

I have raised and nurtured her well. This hurts me.

And I shall not allow him to hurt any other mothers.

I shall ensure that he is held accountable.

But it was you who sent your daughter to perform the ritual with him!

He fooled me!

Take this.

A token of apology. Master Saenkam wishes for you to have it.

Does the Minister of the Capital truly refuse to pursue this case?

He rejected your accusation!

Master Saenkam has many high-ranking nobles as his supporters.

If you do not let this go,

it seems that your husband

shall be a Muen forever.

Think this through.

What?

Being a wife of a mere Muen, and she thought of accusing me?

She should watch herself.

I may send a spellbound buffalo decoy right to her door

and make the mother become insane as well.

Even now, you still have not come to your senses!

Raping women is a severe crime. You must stop!

It is but a small matter.

Behold these two ladies.

They are glad to serve Master Saenkam up close.

- Are you? - Yes.

- Are you? - Yes.

If you did it to those who consented,

who would hold you accountable?!

But you fooled their parents into letting you rape them! You pervert!

Well, well.

I heard you. You do talk a lot.

- Tian. - Yes, sir.

Did you wash those clothes yourself?

Where is Laor?

- She will not be here, sir. I have asked. - Huh?

And Lady Va said to me,

"Tell him to have a meal at his house."

I have explained everything to her. What could she not understand?

Your lady is getting quite bold now.

Let me see.

What? They are still wet.

Hang them again!

Hooray! Hooray!

- Hooray! - What is it, Tian?

Your loud voice scared us.

Khun Saengplarn has moved his belongings back home, My Lady!

Hooray!

Dear!

Stop right there.

My return is only to my own home,

not to stay with you.

Yes.

Only to stay in your own home. We shall live separately. Duly noted.

- We are only siblings. - Yes, only siblings.

I return because I do not wish for more problems. It does not mean…

you win.

That is absolutely true, dear,

since I have always been won over.

I am won over by your goodness and your charm.

I am also won over by what my heart desires.

Quit that thought.

Do not go too far with your thoughts.

Do not glare at me.

Do not sweet talk. Do not approach or hold me. Do not tease.

- No-- - Duly noted.

From now on, the ones who shall take care of you in here are Tian

and Laor. And I shall be here only if there are problems.

I am relieved now.

The painful void I have felt

is now gone.

Do you realize that

maybe we humans only need

a companionship of some kind? That is it.

Here is your scented candle.

I shall go and prepare your dinner.

You must be sick of dry and tough grilled fish.

What a devious lady.

I shall put in my love.

Fine. Only goodwill.

Va.

Khun Saengplarn picked some flowers for you.

He gives you his thanks and says that the food is delicious.

I shall pour my heart into it.

That is it.

My love charm.

You both live in the same house,

but do not meet or talk. You only send flowers back and forth.

It is the first time I've seen such a thing.

Your tea set is ready, sir.

Where does this music come from?

Oh, Lady Va is playing a khim.

Aon has made some profit,

so he redeemed the khim that Muen Vorachai had pawned

and returned it to Lady Va.

Where did the bell sounds come from?

Was it Master?

To truly love is to release expectation,

transcend pain, and overcome selfishness.

Each other alone shall suffice.

To truly love is to release expectation,

transcend pain, and overcome selfishness.

Each other alone shall suffice.

Each other alone shall suffice.

Are you finally here, Master?

There are six cases of robbery

and six physical arguments.

Those are all for this week, My Lords.

What?

That was all?

I heard that someone reported that their daughter

has been raped and violated by Saenkam.

My servants were talking about that too, I heard.

There is no such thing.

Perhaps the soldiers found out that there is no truth to it.

Well, if there is no more matter at hand,

I recently acquired a new fighting cock,

and I wish to challenge

Lueang, your fighter, Jaokhun Thammanart.

Oh? Very well.

That was all, was it not?

Then, let us all watch my Lueang fights.

- Come. - Please, My Lord.

My new fighter is not to be underestimated, My Lord.

All cases related to Saenkam have now disappeared.

The Minister of the Capital looks suspicious as well.

I think the same, My Lord.

As for Saenkam,

I myself have not seen his face.

May I observe him, in case there is more to this matter?

- Good. You can proceed. - Yes, My Lord.

Master. Please help me.

If you restore my father's ability to walk,

I shall give you anything you desire.

Cha.

Yes, Master.

Here. Let your father drink this.

Get up and try to walk.

You need not hold him.

Father.

My father can walk again!

- Oh, Master Saenkam! - It worked!

Your magic is potent! Sathu!

- Sathu! - Sathu!

Your magic is truly potent, Master!

- Sathu! Master Saenkam! - Sathu! Master Saenkam!

- Master Saenkam! - Master Saenkam!

- Master Saenkam! - Master Saenkam!

All of this

is merely an illusion.

It is only to lift your spirits.

Anyone can achieve this.

And who are you?

The Chief Minister sent me.

If any of you are troubled

by the schemes of this cult,

do not be afraid to report it to me.

You.

It is your willpower that allows you to walk again,

not that tea.

But I could not stand straight before.

Because you never believed you could.

It is in our nature

to not practice using our minds to take charge of our bodies.

It is our human nature to believe

that achievements come from the sacred power, rather than ourselves.

Are you here to challenge me?

Dark magic? Killing people? Blood sacrifice?

If you wish to rely on the damned spirits,

then watch closely

to see how long these vengeful spirits fulfill your wishes.

They shall take something in return.

If you do not wish to be the victim of those spirits,

do not believe in this disgusting sorcery.

Do not listen to him! Chase him away.

Try me.

We are all facing hardships,

and we favor shortcuts.

But be careful, for these shortcuts shall make everything worse.

Enough with this!

Who says you can preach in my abode?!

Your power…

You are Taen Seenil's disciple.

- No! No! - Mother!

You…

You have robbed my family!

Who are you?

My name is Khun Saengplarn!

My parents and my sister were killed by your kind!

You are under the effect of the amoria bloom.

You cannot defeat me. Your obsession with a woman weakened you.

You scum killed my parents

and my sister.

Night after night, I lay in wait to kill you.

But if I do,

I would become a monster like you!

I shall give you

and Taen Seenil a chance to change your ways.

If not, I shall take off my uniform,

discard the image of a good man, and draw your blood out

to worship my parents and my sister!

Dear.

The never-ending nightmare.

The lasting vengeance.

Please help me.

Time has swept the past away.

It has ended.

This place

is your present.

Please see it as it is.

Never in my life have I been treated with such disrespect!

Pansaeng, I will kill you!

I shall kill you with my own hands!

Even after you lost to him?

Did you not say he is weak?

Why could you not defeat him then?

You truly are dense.

I said that we must wait!

His strength will diminish with time.

The tea from amoria bloom he drinks every day

shall slowly take effect!

Three months from now,

if he has not died, you are incompetent!

If we are to work together,

we may be able to get rid of him without waiting three months.

How?

Master Seenil

has written the yantra for the magic trap.

If we can lure him into this trap

and strike him at the same time,

he shall not survive.

Why are you coming here yourself today?

- How did you know it was me? - Hm.

Your perfume is truly stuck in my mind.

Dear.

I have something to ask you.

Well, Songkran is only three days away.

It's a tradition in my house to perform merit-making for my parents' remains.

And do you wish to dedicate merits

to your family's remains as well?

I have moved all of them to Wat Chedi.

It is the same temple as mine.

Then,

I shall prepare two sets of food offerings and robes

for my parents

and your parents.

Hm. Very well.

Thank you very much.

Yes.

Dear.

Would you be glad

to pay respect to my parents?

I wish to introduce you to them.

Yes.

Very well.

Uh, you…

should pay respect to my parents as well.

Certainly.

It has been years since you last came.

I am glad you came.

I have truly changed my ways.

Then, we should take an oath to make Father and Mother proud.

What oath?

Brother.

It is not really necessary.

We should do it, Chai.

That way, we shall relive our memories when they are still around.

I shall be a good person,

putting the welfare of others

before my own.

I shall be a good person,

putting the welfare of others

before my own.

I shall be the servant of this land

and uphold the well-being of its people.

I shall be the servant of this land

and uphold the well-being of its people.

Father, Mother,

we both

still hold your teachings in our hearts.

Va.

Dear.

Sir.

This way.

Father, Mother,

this is Pansaeng,

or Khun Saengplarn,

the one I am wedded to.

KRAI, IN, PHUENG

The three of them are now together. Father, Mother, and my sister, Phueng.

- Dear. - Hm?

What were you like when you were a child?

I was a very good and well-behaved child.

And how would Phueng describe you?

Ah.

I was very mischievous,

and I teased her all the time.

The teasing was not because of being troublesome

but because I liked being with her all the time.

Dear.

What is it that you wish for?

What is yours?

I wish to be reborn to meet you in every life

and for us to always remember each other.

Now, what is yours?

What did you wish for?

I am not telling you.

What? You…

I shall tell you next time.

Are you truly not telling me?

I am not.

Dear. Please tell me.

- No. - Dear.

Khun Saengplarn!

Please help us, sir.

My daughter has been held captive.

Va.

Wait for me in this temple and do not go anywhere. I shall return.

Yes.

Lead the way.

This way, sir.

This way, sir.

I do not hear the scream anymore.

Master Saenkam has helped us

while the officials such as yourself did nothing!

Yet you dared hurt a good man like him!

- What is this? - Run.

You!

Luang Bovorntat.

Saenkam!

This yantra from Master Taen Seenil

is all powerful.

You shall not survive this time!

You will die, Pansaeng.

The amoria bloom you drank every day made you obsessed with your woman.

Your magic has faded now.

Master, please forgive me.

Please restore my magic

and help me survive this tenure.

Please help me.

Die!

Saenkam! You lied to me.

His magic is powerful still. The amoria bloom had no effect!

Pansaeng, you shall not live.

Dear!

Va!

Muen Vorachai!

It was not my doing!

You ran in the way! I did not do it!

Go! Go!

Why are you here?

Why must you do this?! Huh?!

I… I…

was glad to do this.

Your life…

is invaluable, dear.

Va… Va…

Va!

Va! Va! Va!

Va!

Boil this for her to drink three times a day. Do not forget.

How is she doing?

With a wound this deep,

you should probably try to accept the fate,

Khun Saengplarn.

Why did the physician shake his head, Laor?

Is this how much you hate me?

You gave me a chance to be born.

Yet you let my parents and my sister die before my eyes.

And now you bring this woman here

only for her to die in my arms as well?!

Why do you not take my life?!

Take it!

Why do you not take it?!

Take it!

It would be less painful.

It would be less painful!

She is but a wicked sister.

She is but a vile sister.

She took all the love from me.

She took my people away.

She took everything from me.

It was not my doing!

We were so hostile towards each other

that we ended up fighting.

I wish to know

if you still love me.

Of course, I love you.

There were many times

I hated you so much that I wanted to kill you myself.

Now that time has passed,

my love for you remains.

I could not cut ties with you.

I wish for you to know

that I love you.

I told you

she ran to stand in the way herself!

I did not do it! It was not me! She did it to herself!

It was not my doing…

See for yourselves. Come.

Master! Is he hurt this much?

The authority sent in the soldiers.

Master Saenkam has not done anything to harm them.

He was only lying asleep, and they came to fatally wound him.

The authorities must be jealous that the citizens trust Master Saenkam more.

Who was it that hurt him?

His name is Khun Saengplarn.

- Huh?! Khun Saengplarn?! - Khun Saengplarn?

- What?! - I know that all of you

love Master Saenkam and wish to protect him.

Go to Khun Saengplarn's house.

Go curse him, all of you.

Go scold him and let him know that we shall not accept this!

- Go! We shall go! - This is unacceptable!

- Go! Go! - We shall not tolerate this!

- Get out! Get out! - Get out! Go away!

- Get out! Get out! - Go away! Go away!

- What are the citizens doing here? - Get out!

- I wonder the same. Let us take a look. - Go away!

- Get out! Get out! - Get out! Get out!

- Get out! Get out! - Go away!

- Get out! - Hey!

What is this?!

Khun Saengplarn has assaulted our Master Saenkam!

- We shall not tolerate it! - We shall not! Get out!

- Get out! - Hey! Hey! Hey!

Has your blind trust in that sorcerer made you forget the sacrifices

Khun Saengplarn has made

hunting down countless thieves and bandits?! Huh?!

True! And your master has only been playing tricks

conjuring leaves. How could you all believe him?

Stop disrespecting him! He helped my mother recover from illness!

Uncle! You are not acknowledging the doctor and the medicine at all?

Khun Saengplarn tried to kill Master Saenkam in his house.

Is it acceptable for a civil servant to do this to a citizen?!

Hey, are you out of your mind? Tried to kill him in his house?

What are you all saying? This is a baseless accusation.

- Get out! Get out! - Go away!

- Get out! Get out! - Get out! Get out!

- Get out! Get out! - Get out! Get out!

- Get out! Get out! - Get out! Go!

Buddha protects.

Dharma cures.

Please ease her pain.

Please mend her wound.

Hand me.

Yes, sir.

Itipi so

Methaya

Here. Va.

Please wake up.

Wake up for this medicine.

Please.

Va. Hold on a little longer.

Hey.

Do not fall asleep yet.

Va.

You must wake up.

You must fight on, Va.

Did you hear it? Here.

Slowly.

Va…

You must fight on, Va.

Please stay with me, Va.

Do not leave me.

Va…

I have received a report from Khun Saengplarn.

He accuses Luang Bovorntat

of assaulting him and his wife.

I have no wounds

and was not in a fight with anybody.

Why must good people fall prey and die?

What it takes to revive your lady

is nothing other than love.

- Go away! - Out!

Even if my bones shatter,

my muscles burn like fire,

and my spirit descends into the deepest hell,

I shall love you still.
