Original subtitles

Saenkam!

- Capture him! Capture him! - Capture him! Capture him!

If any of you wish to be rammed in the guts,

then try me.

This Saenkam shall only bring destruction

to anyone who supports him!

The same goes for all these people behind me.

They are overflowing with hatred and anger,

enough to destroy you many times over!

And if our master comes to help us tomorrow, the three of us shall kill him!

You shall face me today.

Noi, come and take your revenge!

Phin, my dear, come and drag him to hell!

You lowly ghosts!

What can you possibly do to me?!

I curse you to the deepest hell.

The prison of Ayothaya awaits you!

The cane of Revered Grandfather Chote

shall protect you from Saenkam's magic

and prevent him from breaking out.

Darn it!

Where are you, Master?

Please help me.

Master Taen!

Master Taen Seenil!

Silence! Stop yelling!

Master Taen Seenil!

- More liquor. - Why are you bald?

- I just disrobed. - Oh.

I see.

My time is now!

I need you to bring these cloths somewhere.

Where is it, Master?

Why would Master send this message to an inmate such as me?

ALL MASTER PRAI'S DISCIPLES, BE PREPARED

ALL MASTER PRAI'S DISCIPLES, BE PREPARED WE SHALL HOLD THE POWER OF THIS NATION

ALL MASTER PRAI'S DISCIPLES, BE PREPARED WE SHALL HOLD THE POWER OF THIS NATION

You know that I am in prison.

Why would you rally your forces in here?

Chai.

Here is your meal.

Have you had a fever in the past few days?

Take this medicine.

Your eyes are red again.

Did you go to visit your brother?

Yes.

Chai is consumed by fever.

And so are you.

Everyone is dying.

Do not reject death.

Do not fear it.

Cry if you wish to cry.

After that…

…you must accept it.

No.

I cannot do it, dear.

Once we accept death,

we shall be mindful of it.

We shall realize

we do not have much time.

And we shall prioritize what is important

over what is not.

We shall realize

what we truly wish for.

What I truly wish for…

…is Chai accepting his misdeeds

and changing his ways.

Any ways to achieve it?

Hm?

I must let him know

that I still have hope for his eventual return to righteousness.

I understand now.

From tomorrow on,

I shall go and let him know that every day.

It does not matter how long our lives are.

What does matter

is how we live our lives to the fullest.

Can you smile?

Smile…

for us who are facing death. Myself…

and Muen Chai.

No, dear.

I cannot live with it.

I cannot live with it.

Why can you not?

Even you, yourself…

may face death before me or Muen Chai.

Plague.

Boat sinking.

Death comes in many ways.

I fear my own death,

but not as much as my loved ones',

who shall leave me alone without them.

I am so afraid, dear.

This room

is full of bullet wood fragrance from you.

I think of you every night I sleep.

Can you sleep beside me tonight?

Dear.

Your greatest wish

is for Muen Chai to return to the right path.

But

my heart's truest desire

is to live out our days together as ordinary husband and wife.

We may not be able to bed each other,

but perhaps we can lie and talk all night.

I shall remember these moments.

In every life,

I wish to always stay by your side in this manner.

Take it. Here.

Has this girl no shame? It is the middle of the day.

Disgusting.

Ming!

- Ming! - Laor? What are you doing?!

I did no such a thing.

You!

No, Ming! Stop! Enough!

- Ming, stop! - What, Laor?

What?

Thong was not violating me. I only fell on him.

Why are you protecting him? You have not realized his dirty thoughts.

Hey, you are accusing me.

I thought of no such thing.

Laor is my little sister.

Keep your hands off her.

- Ming! - Die.

Ming, stop!

Are you not stopping? Do you wish to continue?

What?! Are you blindfolding me?!

Must you push me?

No, I kicked you.

I hate men with constant dirty minds the most.

And do you hate yourself for visiting a brothel every day?

Laor. Thong has not proposed to you.

He has no right to touch you. Do you understand?

This is truly disrespectful.

I am ordering you

to cut ties with him from now on.

I will not.

Even my father does not forbid me from such a thing.

- And who do you think you are? - I…

Well, I am no one.

If that is how you see me, then this is the end for us.

Thong has reported it to me.

I shall have to punish you according to the law.

Could you not pretend it did not happen, sir?

No. The law is the law.

I must imprison you for seven days.

During your time in there, pray and meditate.

She claimed my life is goalless, and now I must go to prison.

Perhaps Laor was right.

Today, I asked Thong if he was drinking.

And he told me he has not.

And he did not intend to violate Laor.

He is interested in learning from me as well.

It is no surprise Laor favors Thong more than you.

Then why do you not accept him?

You have been seeking good disciples for a long time.

You detest Yong and me for drinking every day.

I do.

To be trained in the art of sorcery,

you truly need mental focus.

Would you remember any of my teachings if you drank all day?

If you do not quit drinking,

I shall truly replace you with Thong.

Very well, sir. As you wish.

Ming!

You were an orphan.

I am the one who cares about you the most!

If you truly like Laor,

you must prove yourself

worthy of having a smart and kind woman such as her.

Perhaps I am done with Laor.

Please do not speak of that name.

Then do it for me.

I do not have much time left, Ming.

I truly wish to train you in my craft.

Can you do it or not?

Can you do it or not?!

We must stop drinking?

Yes.

And he mentioned Laor as well.

He always tells me to get with Laor.

Does he think Laor is the only woman I see?

Is she truly beautiful?

She is feisty and fierce as well.

If you wed her, she would probably scold you every day.

There is another matter.

He told me he does not have much time left.

What did he mean by not having much time left?

Come here.

See for yourself.

Ming, look at him.

He is losing his skills.

He has been for a while.

Is it because he's infatuated with his wife?

Similar to Prai, his senior disciple.

His magic has faded,

and he has eventually been imprisoned in Ayothaya.

Khun Saengplarn!

Sir! Sir.

Easy, Harn.

The people of Ayothaya are frightened!

- What is happening? - Look, sir.

Yong. What is that?

Taen Seenil.

Taen Seenil is coming.

Taen Seenil!

Taen Seenil is coming.

Who is Taen Seenil?

He is the most fearsome

sorcerer of this land.

He has disappeared for decades.

Ayothaya is doomed!

How are we supposed to live?!

No!

- What must we do?! - No!

Our insurrection begins now.

Master Taen. Shall we begin our plan for the insurrection?

I am fully ready.

Va.

Dear.

This is not normal, is it?

Taen Seenil is terrorizing us all with his power.

Dear.

There is one thing I am not certain of.

What is it?

Did Prai, too, serve as a disciple to Taen Seenil?

Prai

was once my senior disciple in the same school.

He had been wielding white magic

but later turned

into the master of thieves.

There were red cloths in the prison.

And now Taen Seenil is showing his power.

Is it possible that…

Prai

has become Taen Seenil's disciple.

And

Taen Seenil is the master of the rebel Luang Bovorntat

and Prai, the vicious thief.

Ayothaya faces dire peril right now.

- Dear. - Tian! Where are you?!

Yes, sir!

Rush to Jaokhun Singh's house.

Run as fast as you can.

Jaokhun Singh's house, sir?

Will they allow a child such as me to enter?

Whether they let you in or not, you must find a way

to get to Jaokhun Singh.

Listen to my words.

The fate of Ayothaya is now in your hands.

What?!

Duly noted, sir.

What am I to tell Jaokhun Singh, sir?

The Ayothaya prison is about to fall.

We need his forces immediately.

Yes, sir!

The prison is about to be breached! We need more men!

Wrong way.

I must go that way.

The prison is about to be breached! We need more men!

Greetings, Master.

You and I

shall focus our magic power at the cells

in the prison of Ayothaya.

- Shall we break out the inmates? - Yes.

The prisoners are mostly former thieves.

They were the disciples of Prai.

I need them to rejoin Prai.

Prai?

Does he work for you as well, Master?

Saenkam has failed.

We must find new allies.

We must use these vicious thieves

to help take over this nation.

Understood, Master.

The prison is about to be breached!

Khun Saengplarn sent me to inform Jaokhun Singh!

The prison is about to be breached!

Is Prai a disciple of Master Taen?

Master Taen has freed me and all of us!

Brothers!

Come with me, and we shall join Prai's band!

- Yes! - Yes!

Master. Has your master truly come for you?

Perhaps your sickness hallucinates you.

Behold.

- Let us go! - We are free!

‪-Go, go! ‪-At long last!

‪-Run! ‪-We are free!

Va. What is wrong?

Khun Saengplarn is going to secure Ayothaya Prison.

But he is very weak now.

Chai is there as well.

Chai must be joining Saenkam in the breakout.

- I shall go there and help. - Va, hold on.

- Laor. - Va, please stop.

You cannot go.

You will only be in the way.

Khun Saengplarn will worry about you. You must not go.

Laor…

But there is nothing I can do. I will certainly go insane.

Master Nandha once said that

a clouded mind shall not be able to help with anything.

You must compose yourself.

Let us go pray.

We shall provide mental support for him.

Let us go, Va.

Let us go.

I am free, Pansaeng.

Now, I shall kill you.

It shall not be that easy.

Pansaeng! Let go of me!

Pansaeng!

Pansaeng! Free me at once! Free me!

I said free me!

Prisoners have broken out! Gather more men!

Pansaeng!

There he goes again!

How did he know?

We must be successful

in killing Pansaeng today!

Taen Seenil has come!

Kill Khun Saengplarn

and join Prai's band!

You have insulted me

about how my magic has faded.

Is that all you have left?!

Do not dare compare yourself to me.

I am a human being,

but you are not!

This is Khun Saengplarn

who has captured all of you!

He is now devoid of magic,

so kill him!

Jaokhun Singh's company! Fight on!

Jaokhun Singh's company! Fight on!

Khun Saengplarn! We are here to help you!

- Fight on! - Fight on!

Attack!

Capture all the prisoners! Do not let them get away!

Any of them who resist must die!

Do not let them get away! Chase them!

‪What?! I yield!

For my parents

and my sister.

What happened, Master?

Saenkam has been slain by Pansaeng.

I shall tolerate you no longer, Pansaeng!

Taen Seenil.

I have waited my whole life to face you.

Now I shall have my revenge!

Sir!

Enlivened effigies magic. Magnificent as people say.

Today

is the day I shall avenge my parents and my sister.

Not today.

Not yet.

Dear.

Va. Va.

Laor.

He will do fine.

Your effigies have all been destroyed.

This is the end for you.

Pansaeng.

It is time for my revenge.

Pansaeng.

Pansaeng is a son to me.

My ancestors,

may the good deeds you and I

have always done for this land

grant Pansaeng protection!

Pansaeng!

Pansaeng. Pansaeng. Pansaeng.

Whoever wishes to kill my son

shall face me first!

It is the Buddha amulet.

The ancient one passed on to Jaokhun Singh.

May you protect Pansaeng!

Jaokhun.

Pansaeng.

Master. You must flee. Please retreat!

How did he disappear?

Is he a ghost or a human?

It was his spiritual form.

Pansaeng.

Our soldiers are the victors, my lady.

The prisoners have been detained.

Some are dead.

But we have won.

Tian. What of Khun Saengplarn?

How is he doing?

Khun Saengplarn, Ming, and others

only have minor injuries.

Their wounds shall be treated at the camp,

and they shall return home tomorrow, my lady.

Jaokhun Singh asked me to tell you

not to be worried. All of them are safe.

What of Chai?

How is he?

He survived. He woke up in prison.

He is not among the deceased.

You did very well, Tian.

This all occurred because you swiftly informed Jaokhun Singh.

Should those vicious prisoners be freed, Ayothaya will be doomed.

I am spirit child Tian.

Entrust me with any errand. Tell me what you desire.

You have my thanks.

We were able to secure the prison. It was a success.

We must thank you, Lady Chavala,

for your timely insight.

My lord, I give my thanks to you,

and you as well, dear…

for sparing my brother's life.

My lord.

If this happens again,

please do not risk your life to save me again.

We are no kin,

but our bond is more than that.

You have fought alongside me

through countless battles.

I wish for you to have this Buddha amulet.

No, my lord. I cannot accept it.

Why not?

Your son is a soldier as well.

This amulet is his birthright, not mine.

‪Darn it!

How could an ordinary man

such as Jaokhun Singh, with an amulet,

overpower Master Taen?

It was merely a coincidence!

Master Taen had lost much strength freeing the prisoners.

Next time,

Master Taen shall kill him with a single blow.

A man of virtue such as yourself

is protected by the angels of heaven.

The good you did for this land

is the greatest power an ordinary man could wield.

But without you,

I could not stand a chance against Taen Seenil.

I must create new effigies

to prepare for his next attack.

The enlivened effigies have been destroyed.

That means he no longer possesses any special spells.

But we still have Prai.

We need his help.

It appears we have a vital mission before us.

I shall ready our forces.

We shall hold the power of this nation!

Lady Va.

Could you please help my wife in the kitchen?

She is preparing the meal for us.

- Yes, my lord. - Very well.

Pansaeng.

Your magic has been diminishing

ever since you took a wife.

Are you certain

that you can create new effigies?

Not at all, my lord.

Enlivened effigies require pure mental power.

I cannot love any woman.

Then why do you not tell Lady Chavala

to stay apart for some time?

If she continues to stay beside you,

your magic shall only be weakened further.

I cannot, my lord.

I wish to be happy, as other husbands and wives do.

I wish to eat with her,

bathe with her,

and talk with her.

I wish to have her by my side

for every minute I have left.

That is my greatest wish, my lord.

The red cloths from Prai

are all over the market.

People are afraid to remove them.

Same as the authority. They must be afraid of Prai's curse.

Prai alone

proves to be too much for them to handle.

And there is Taen Seenil's insurrection as well.

This land is full of corrupt nobles.

They do not care about our hardships!

For this matter,

I am being framed, my lords.

Muen Vorachai, your in-law,

was the first to accuse me of being a rebel.

And the prison breakout

may even be your doing.

But you insist that there shall be treason in Ayothaya.

Perhaps you, yourself, are plotting an uprising.

On the day of the breakout,

I led the troop in there.

Are you accusing me of being a rebel as well?

There was no reason for rebellion in the first place.

Our nation is at peace.

Then what of the snake cloud in the sky?

All of us have witnessed it that day.

Pansaeng can create that illusion as well.

More importantly,

no one has seen Taen Seenil for decades.

That could be an imposter.

Yet one thing is certain.

Prai was a senior disciple of Khun Suriyonhassadee.

And for some reason,

he has not been able to bring Prai to justice.

It is no mere coincidence, my lords.

Perhaps Prai Pansaeng and Khun Suriyonhassadee

are joining forces to start an insurrection.

I shall repeat that I am Khun Suriyonhassadee's benefactor.

An accusation against him

is an accusation

of treason against me.

Ayothaya is administered by six noble families

with equal military forces.

I,

as the Chief of the Armed Forces,

shall stand with those who protect the king.

I wish to ask all the ministers.

Will you all

stand in solidarity with me?

I, the Minister of the Royal Household, firmly stand with you

and his majesty the king.

I, the Minister of Agriculture,

and my family stand with you,

with his majesty the king.

Jaokhun, your direct inquiry

shall not make the rebel

reveal his true intention.

Jaokhun Amorn

is the father-in-law of Luang Bovorntat.

Jaokhun Nakorn,

the Minister of the Capital,

and Jaokhun Thammanart,

the Minister of the Treasury,

both have accepted bribes from Luang Bovorntat.

Perhaps all three of you have sided with Luang Bovorntat, my lords.

- Insolent! - Insolent!

You have accused us.

Flog him!

My apologies, my lord.

I was only

evaluating the forces.

Should there be a civil war,

I wish to know which side

the six forces stand.

Now,

Jaokhun Singh has three of them,

and Luang Bovorntat has three as well.

Their forces are equal.

Watch your mouth!

I am the Chief Minister

chosen by his majesty the king.

How could I commit treason?!

I, the Minister of the Capital,

and my forces hereby

vow to protect the nation of his majesty the king

until the day I die.

I,

the Minister of the Treasury,

am not a rebel

and have not received bribes from any person.

Accuse me again, and you shall learn your lesson.

I,

Luang Bovorntat…

hereby swear on my blood

that I am not committing treason,

and I shall serve his majesty the king

until the day I die, my lords.

What is wrong, Va?

Forgive me. I thought…

I thought someone was teasing me.

Who else could it be? It was me.

As a child, I remember Mother tenderly hand-feeding Father.

Father acted as if the food was heavenly.

I, myself, wish to know

if it is truly that delightful.

‪Dear!

It is truly delicious.

All right.

Today was full of exhausting matters.

All were from the outside.

My home

is truly the most peaceful.

- Dear. - Hm?

Today,

I have been appointed as a chief customs officer

in place of Chai.

Is that true?

Then you must begin your duty shortly.

Yes.

Since childhood,

Father has taught this duty only to Chai,

and I never thought I would take this position.

I truly do not know

how to begin my duty.

Chief customs officer

is the one who collects taxes.

I fully trust you with collecting money,

since you are the best with managing money.

I need not worry at all.

Father once told me that

the chief customs officer will know

who is dishonest with public money. Is that true?

Yes.

Legitimate caravans

must have official seals on the wagons.

Only the chief customs officer will know

which seals are legal and which ones are not.

Shall we embrace all night?

I think

we should only lie down and talk.

Shall we?

You have once told me

that mindfulness before death

shall help us prioritize what is important over what is not.

In your life,

what do you deem unimportant?

Competition.

Malice.

Why must we win all the time?

We shall die one day.

They shall die one day.

Yes.

That is what I thought.

Well,

anger and vengeance

are unimportant as well.

I have spent my life seeking vengeance.

I wished to take revenge on the one who killed my family,

so I learned magic to prepare for it.

When I finally met Saenkam,

I had nightmares.

After meeting Taen Seenil that day,

I was trembling.

I could not sleep all night.

It felt…

like my chest was burning.

You believe in the law.

That was why you stayed calm

and did not kill Saenkam earlier.

After meeting you,

I finally realized that vengeance

is one thing

that is unimportant as well.

You taught me

to see the flowers.

I now know

how to appreciate the flowers,

the stars, the wind,

and delicious meals.

These simple joys

are what make life meaningful.

Being able to know,

to express my love,

and to share the dreams with someone who is beautiful inside and out,

such as you,

is the greatest gift of my life.

Dear!

Dear! Please hold on!

Dear! Take this medicine!

Dear!

My dear,

why must our lives be so unfortunate?

Trouble has arisen, sir!

Prai has robbed Ban Tha Din Daeng!

Mother! Mother! I am here!

Harn.

We must hunt them down!

Go.

They are now camping.

Prai has completely changed.

He is no longer your senior disciple!

We shall not face them directly.

This is not you at all, sir.

The love for your wife changed you.

Prai's magic is truly powerful.

You will not stand a chance.

You favor Prai even more than me.

You are disregarding my vengeance against him!

Dear!

If death does us part,

please remember in your heart and soul

the truth,

that I love you,

and I shall be forever by your side.
