KINGDOM OF WAR
PART 2

PHITSANULOK, 1577 C.E.

Make way.

I am Lord Srithamorat of Srithep.

I have a matter to discuss
with Prince Naresuan.

Hold on a minute.

You shall make way for me.

I am Lord Chaiburi.

You are to let me see
the prince first.

My city is more prestigious
than yours.

But my city is more important.

- Says who?
- Everyone knows it.

Is that so?

We'll play rock-paper-scissors.
The winner enters first.

- Fine.
- Rock, paper, scissors... shoot!

Rock, paper, scissors... shoot!

Rock beats scissors.

I get to go in first.

But my city is still
more important than yours.

By the way,

which one is Prince Naresuan?

I don't know.

I've only heard mention of him,

but I've never seen him.

I think I know.

They call him "The Black Prince."

So who else could he be?

I am Lord Srithamorat
of Srithep.

I surrender myself
and my city to you, Your Highness.

I, Lord Chaiburi of Chaiburi,

have also come to surrender.

I am Lord Racharangson of Mua.

Lord Srisainarong.

- Lord Sukhothai.
- Lord Kamphangphet.

I am Lord Senapimuk of Japan.

And I am Lord Rachamanoo.

We have only heard of you...

but how were we to know
that you are Prince Naresuan?

We have only heard of your greatness,
Your Highness.

What greatness?

That you learned the art of war
in Hongsawadee,

while you were held captive there.

Your skills are unmatched.

- But I only wonder...
- What do you wonder?

If the skills you learned
in Hongsawadee

can match those
of the Siamese.

Then you two shall help me
prove that my skills

are a worthy match for yours.

Since we are on the same side,

you should know my strengths

as I should know yours.

You go first.

- No, you.
- No, you first.

Both of you together.

Choose your weapons.

I shall use this flag.

We believe you now.

Your Highness,
will you teach us to fight?

very well. The skills I learned
from the great monk Khan Shong,

I shall pass on to you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

KINGDOM OF HONGSAWADEE, 1581 C.E.

A royal decree,

requesting your immediate departure
for Ayutthaya,

has been issued,
Your Highness.

KINGDOM OF AYUTTHAYA

What are you waiting for?

Follow me.

A messenger has sent word
of the death of King Bayinnong.

- When did he die?
- Seven days ago.

He fell ill as he went into battle
against the kingdom of Yakkai.

We have been ordered to return
to Hongsawadee

to attend the coronation
of Nandabayin.

I have called you here

to take charge of Ayutthaya
in my absence

while I am in Hongsawadee.

Father, I do not feel
you should leave at this time.

King Bayinnong was a friend.

I must attend his funeral.

In addition, if I do not go,

Nandabayin will have more reason
to attack us.

I shall go in your place.

If something happens to you,

Ayutthaya will be without a king.

And what if something
happens to you?

That is not important.

King Bayinnong
was more than a friend to Ayutthaya.

He was like
a second father to me.

I must return to Hongsawadee and pay
my final respects to King Bayinnong.

The 11th waxing moon

will be an auspicious time.

It is a good day to lead your army

to Hongsawadee.

Prince Ekathosarot
is here to see Prince Naresuan.

Don't try talking me out of going.

I volunteered to go.

King Bayinnong
meant a lot to me.

I'm not here to stop you.

I want to go with you.

You want to go with me
to Hongsawadee?

I believe I can be of use to you,
my brother.

When will you leave?

Within three days. We must
arrive in time for the cremation.

THE KINGDOM OF HONGSAWADEE

Manechan, where are you going
in such a hurry?

Prince Naresuan.
He is in Hongsawadee.

When did he get here?

I must tell Princess Suphankalaya.

Yesterday.
I just heard the news.

He is staying at the bamboo palace
outside of town.

Are you going to run that far?

Ong Dam and Bunthing
are off to see the head monk.

I will find them at the temple.

Ong Dam! Bunthing!

Manechan!

Wow, you're a woman
of the court now.

And you still look like
a temple boy.

I thought
I would never see you again.

Do not think like that.

I will always find a way to see you.

But enough of this!

Let me give you a big hug.

What is this?

This is a temple.

Ong Dam, come in.
I have to talk with you.

Somehow I knew
you would come.

Still, you already know

that you are in danger
while in Hongsawadee.

I came in friendship.
Nandabayin would not dare harm me.

Do not be careless,
Your Highness.

There are many ways
he can get rid of you.

I am not afraid,

despite any
of Nandabayin's tricks.

Prior to his death,
King Bayinnong

requested counsel with me.

You must tell Prince Naresuan...

to attack Hongsawadee.

If he does not seize Hongsawadee...

then this kingdom I have built

will be lost.

Bayinnong's last words

were addressed to you.

Only Prince Naresuan...

can maintain the sovereignty and pride
of Hongsawadee.

Though you will not fight
Hongsawadee,

there are some kingdoms

now that King Bayinnong has died,

that intend to wage war
against Hongsawadee.

But I am Siamese.

I do not wish to rule another land.

If I go to war with Hongsawadee,

it will be for one reason...

to defend the crown of Ayutthaya.

King Bayinnong
thought you would say that,

so he gave this warning...

If he does not wish to rule
Hongsawadee,

then he must be careful.

Nandabayin...

will not allow Ayutthaya

to keep its independence.

What a shame.

At this time,
the lords of 20 colonized states

have come to pledge allegiance
to Hongsawadee.

Sirikhetaya, Kare, Yonghuay,

Prae, Baanmou, Motama,

Chiang Mai, Naka, Lan Chang,

Tong-Oo, Meuang Mok,

Meuang Nai, Chiang Tung,

Tanaosri, Tawai, Angwa,

Moyeng, Mokong,

Ayutthaya and Phitsanulok.

The only state missing is Khang,
which is not in attendance

in accordance with customs.

Seeing as the King of Khang
has not come

to pledge his allegiance,

it is clear he opposes us.

Khang is a small city.
It is of no importance.

Though it is a mere city
on the edge of our borders,

their rebellious actions
cannot go unpunished.

Other kingdoms
may take their lead.

Are you going to lead
your army to Khang?

Why use a sledgehammer
to crack a nut?

The smaller armies of you three

should be enough.

I give you the authority
to apprehend the King of Khang

and bring him here
to be made into an example.

Prince Nutjinnong,
you will lead the Tong-Oo army.

Mangsamkiat, you will lead
the army of Hongsawadee.

Prince Naresuan,
you will lead the army of Ayutthaya.

Whoever defeats the Khang

will receive a worthy award.

I fear for your safety
now that King Bayinnong is gone.

In spite of the dangers,
I had to come.

King Bayinnong
was like a father to me.

What will you do
if Nandabayin betrays you?

You have very few men
to protect you.

But they are well trained.

They will not allow danger
to befall me.

I am more worried about you.

I want to take you with me.

That is, if you'll go.

I cannot.

lf I go, who will look after
your sister?

Especially now
that she is pregnant.

Then you should stay
and care for her.

One day I will return for you.

I give you my word.

I'll wait for you.

I'm tired.
I need some rest.

May I use your lap
forjust a while?

Sleep.
Sleep for as long as you want.

I would love to lie here
for eternity,

but I have so much to do.

Soon I must travel north
to battle the city of Khang.

I don't know
if I will ever see you again.

Don't worry.

You will be safe.

Sleep for now.

I will protect you.

I will keep you safe.

Father,

I feel that Ong Dam came here

not to pledge his allegiance
like the other kingdoms,

but to attend
King Bayinnong's funeral.

I thought as much.

Ong Dam has walked into
a dangerous trap.

We cannot let him leave.

We must detain him

and execute him in your honor.

If I do as you suggest,

the other kingdoms will find out.

They will see us,

the new rulers
of Hongsawadee,

as vicious enough to kill
even those who are loyal to us.

The elimination of Prince Naresuan
must be planned well.

We must set a trap.

In his battle with Khang,

Prince Naresuan will lose
on the first day,

because his army is too small.

It will be difficult to defeat Khang
due to their position.

They are situated
on top of a mountain.

But your army, my son,

is far more powerful.

You will defeat the Khang swiftly.

Good. We will let the King of Khang
kill Prince Naresuan.

Even if Prince Naresuan does not die,

the defeat will reduce the power
of his army.

When he loses at Khang
he will be seen as weak.

Our force is combined
of three armies.

THE THREE PRINCES' CAMP,
OUTSIDE THE CITY OF KHANG

We will defeat Khang
within three nights.

The King of Khang

is to be captured and forced
to bow down before my father.

Their kingdom is located
atop a mountain.

The road into the city
is narrow and steep.

This kingdom will not be as easy
to defeat as others.

Our army has plenty of weaponry
and provisions.

I believe we need
to only surround the city,

and before long,
the citizens of Khang

will become restless
due to hunger.

They must surrender.

The King of Khang has been planning
a revolution for years.

He has readied his men
and stored much food.

This war could continue
through the rainy season.

Then we must assemble
our men immediately

and surround their city walls.

We must attack
as soon as possible.

l am afraid I disagree
with this strategy.

The path to the city
is steep and narrow.

If we send in
all our men at once,

then the soldiers
will be bunched up

and stepping over
one another.

I believe we should divide
our armies

and move in one after the other.

If that is the case, my army

can easily defeat Khang
single-handedly.

Do not be careless.

Though Khang
is a small kingdom,

their location
is advantageous to them.

Do you think Hongsawadee
is incapable of beating a small city?

I only wish to warn you
against carelessness.

In the event that neither you
nor the Prince of Tong-Oo

are able to defeat Khang,

my men and I will fight
with all our might

to force Khang into surrendering
to King Nandabayin.

There will be no one left in Khang
for you to fight.

Tomorrow I will lead the army
of Hongsawadee to the city.

If I fail,

then the Prince of Tong-Oo
will strike.

If he also fails...

then it will be your turn.

Release the rocks, now!

Please order the retreat,
Your Highness.

Forward! Move!

Do not back down!

I will execute the family
of any man who retreats!

Do not back down!

Any attempt
to fight Khang head on

is like steering our soldiers
straight to death.

We will share
Hongsawadee's fate.

Does that mean
that we cannot defeat Khang?

Khang's position
is advantageous,

but just because
they have a good position

does not mean
that they have no weakness.

What is their weakness,
Your Highness?

Water.

Though they have collected provisions
for years,

their high altitude results
in a drier climate.

If we can find
where they get their water,

then we can easily attack them.

Hurry!

That cave
is the entrance into Khang.

We should follow them,
Your Highness.

It is not necessary.

We must inform the Prince of Tong-Oo
of this secret passageway.

Otherwise, he will mistakenly try
a frontal attack.

Wait, Prince Sangkhathat.

If you try to enter Khang
using the same route as Mangsamkiat,

the Tong-Oo army will certainly fall.

I have a plan.

Tong-Oo will not be tricked
as Hongsawadee was.

I found another way into Khang.

If you use it to lead
the Tong-Oo into Khang,

you will save the lives
of many soldiers.

Why should I listen to you?

Do you think I am but a child
and that you can trick me into defeat?

I do not take advantage of others.

My concern is for your men
who will lose their lives.

True concern
is just an illusion here.

We are all competitors.

My army will conquer Khang
before tomorrow.

Sound the drums.

Tong-Oo army, attack!
Go!

The Prince of Tong-Oo
may succeed.

The people of Khang
are very clever.

I fear Tong-Oo will lose far more men
than Hongsawadee.

Tonight we attack Khang
from two sides.

Ekathosarot, Lord Kosa
and Lord Rattanaphaet,

you will take 200 men.

Pretending to be the army
of Ayutthaya,

you will amass
in front of their city.

As for myself and the others,

we will enter
through the secret passage.

I must fight by your side,
brother.

Lord Srithamorat,

you will take my place
at the front of the city.

I will go with my brother.

Ekathosarot, you are to never
question my authority.

Let this be the last time
you defy me.

If you do not obey,
I will have you punished.

How do you wish for me to proceed,
Your Highness?

Make it look as if

you are leading a full army
to the city of Khang.

Have soldiers plant torches
in the fields close to the entrance.

Then have men on horseback
set off explosives.

Fire your guns
and shout as loudly as possible.

Make them think our force
is great in numbers.

But remember this...

do not let your men
attack the city of Khang.

Yes, Your Highness.

At midnight,

I will lead my men
through the secret passageway.

All of Hongsawadee...

will finally see
Ayutthaya's proficiency in war.

Sound the war drums
and fire the guns!

Everyone make some noise.
Fire your guns.

Hongsawadee is attacking.

King Nandabayin's men
are attacking.

Are they not afraid?

Let them attack.

We are always ready
to fight them

no matter how many times
they attack.

Prepare to fend off
the army of Hongsawadee.

There are so few guards.

Why are they so foolish?

Their city will fall
because of their own carelessness.

The gate is locked.

Lord Chaiburi,
bring some gunpowder.

Yes, Your Highness.

Watch out, sir!

Sir!

- Lord Chaiburi, are you alright?
- I am not dead yet.

Hurry and enter the city.

Follow me!

Princess,
we have been tricked.

The king!

Put down your weapons.
Stop fighting.

The kingdom of Khang and l...

surrender to Prince Naresuan
of Phitsanulok.

Stop wasting blood and lives
in this battle.

Soldier, bring some water
for the king.

Do you hear me?

Bring some water
for His Majesty now!

- What is going on?
- How can you do this to a king?

You are treating him like a...

Prisoner.

What does he need?

I only request some water
for my father.

And is there anything
I can help you with?

Do you expect me to rely
on an enemy?

The war has passed.
We are no longer enemies.

Then why do you bind me
like an animal?

Try to keep still.

It is a long way
to Hongsawadee.

I would hate
to have to tie you up.

Don't do that again!

What are you going to do?

I'll kill you.

Why?

Tell me why.

Prince Naresuan
has very few men,

yet he defeated Khang.

Our army is 10 times larger,

and yet we lost.

Fortune is with him.

But his fortune
will soon run out.

I should have killed Naresuan

while he was still a young monk.

We will have our day of victory.

Just wait and see.

Father expected my army
to be more powerful than any other,

especially an army
of our own captives.

Nevertheless,
they are still our captives.

And their army fought
better than our own.

It is a disgrace.

We should not think little
of Prince Naresuan's abilities.

He learned from Khan Shong,

who was also the mentor
of King Bayinnong.

Khan Shong.

He is a friend of Siem Priem,
my own mentor.

In the future, Prince Naresuan
may become a fierce enemy.

Or a good friend, if we must
ever do battle against Hongsawadee.

Let me go.

The injury to Lord Chaiburi's eye
is serious.

Treatment requires
burning the wound.

But his injuries
are not life-threatening,

provided his will is strong.

The stench of a Khmer man
from Srithep.

If I am not mistaken,

the person who held my hand
was Lord Srithamorat.

I only came to check
if you were dead.

That way,
I could help bury you.

"Young flower,

you attacked a world

located high above.

With swiftness
your strength proved true.

The heavens now listen for you."

Bunthing.

Your Highness.

Go check on the King of Khang
and his people.

Yes, Your Highness.

Why do you send Lord Rachamanoo
to check on the captives?

Why not send one of the soldiers?

Have you not noticed?

Noticed what?

He has fallen in love
with Princess Lekin.

Were it not for his love for her,

then he would have killed her
in battle.

Get up!

Princess.

How am I supposed to eat
with my hands tied?

Don't shoot her.

Let go.

- Where are you going?
- Let go of me!

Stay back.

Don't come near me.

I have something to tell you.

Let go.

Was I unconscious?

Why didn't you run?

If you want to run away
then I will let you.

Why would you let me go?

You are a traitor.

You betrayed Hongsawadee.

There is only one punishment
for you.

You are to be burned alive.

We are not traitors.

It is true that Khang
was once under the rule

of King Bayinnong.

However, there is no reason for me
to surrender to you, Nandabayin.

Though your death
sits right before you,

your arrogance still shines through.

Executioner, start the fire.

Burn the traitors now.

One moment, Your Majesty.
The King of Khang

is respected
by many northern kingdoms.

Executing the King of Khang

may disrupt relations
with other kingdoms.

They may turn against Hongsawadee
in the future.

If I do not kill him,

it will set a bad example
for other kingdoms.

I believe

if he pledges his allegiance

to Hongsawadee once more,

then there will be no need
to punish him.

Prince of Phitsanulok,

as you were the victor
over Khang,

I will reward you

with the treasures
and the lives of the captives

which you have retrieved
from Khang.

King of Khang.

The Prince of Phitsanulok
has spared your life.

All you have to do is pledge

that you will remain
under Hongsawadee's rule.

Even if I agree to this pledge,

my descendants,
courtiers and people

will never bow to you.

If I had not given my word
to Prince Naresuan,

I would order the executioners
to burn you alive.

However,
I did give my word.

Soldiers,
take these traitors

and place them in the dungeons.

Never let them see
the light of day again.

KINGDOM OF AYUTTHAYA, 1584 C.E.

These people all look so happy,
Your Highness.

Do not use royal titles.

Speak like a commoner.

I want to find out
how my people are doing.

Yes, Your Highness.

Ayutthaya is so big,
but my heart is still lonely.

Whenever I see a lady,
l cannot help but stop.

- Sing to me!
- Beautiful lady, be kind to me.

I am here to love you.
Please don't hurt me.

Do you know
how to row a boat?

Do not be ridiculous.
All people from Srithep can row a boat.

Bunthing, steer the boat
to that house.

Is anybody there?

I wish to take refuge
from the rain.

Come up, young man.
Try to keep quiet.

I've heard that Prince Naresuan
is nearby.

He does not like loud noises.

Why?

Are we not allowed to talk?

He cannot keep me quiet.

That is enough.

Keep your voice down.
You are going to get me into trouble.

I feel for you,
but I am not afraid.

Forbidding people to talk
is a bit excessive.

Do not let the prince
hear you say that.

Why don't you light a flame?

Why do you sit in darkness?
How can you see anything?

I have no need for light.

I have been blind
since we lost our city.

The blast from a cannon
took my sight.

I feel rather cold.

Would you be so kind

to bring some alcohol
to keep me warm?

Do you not know

that this is Buddhist Lent?

The prince
does not allow us to drink.

Who cares? I'm not afraid.

Though you do not fear punishment,
your fate will be doomed.

It is Buddhist Lent.
It is not appropriate to drink.

Here, my lord.

My husband died in the war
at Makhamjom field.

Only my son was left
to help me.

We managed.

Things became difficult
when I lost my sight.

But now things are worse,

as my son has to serve
as a soldier

under Ong Dam
in Hongsawadee.

The villagers
are very troubled.

All the men
who went to war died.

There is no one
to tend to the fields.

The price of rice has gone up.

Does Ong Dam know

how miserable his people are,

because he will not stop
going to war?

The King of Prae and the King
of Tong-Oo sent word

that King Tadomengsaw of Angwa

intends to break away
from Hongsawadee.

We cannot let King Tadomengsaw
get away with this.

Otherwise the kingdom
of Hongsawadee

which King Bayinnong
established,

will be lost in a day.

We must send soldiers to Angwa

and bring King Tadomengsaw back

to be punished for all to see.

Mangsamkiat,
why did you not join the meeting

regarding our war with Angwa?

You are the reason for this war.

Are you referring to the fight I had
with King Tadomengsaw's daughter?

It is due to your infatuation
with another woman.

She claims
you caused her miscarriage.

She could stand it no more,
so she fled home.

That was just an excuse.

King Tadomengsaw
was determined to revolt long ago,

but he couldn't
because of King Bayinnong.

I didn't go to the meeting,
because you will not let me

go with you in this war.

I need you
to look after the kingdom,

while I am fighting in Angwa.

This will be the first time
that you will be in charge of the city.

You must take care
of Hongsawadee.

Suraguma.

Your Majesty.

You are my most trusted soldier.

You must help my son protect
Hongsawadee.

I will defend Hongsawadee
with my life.

You can trust in me, Your Majesty.

King Nandabayin

has requested that
I prepare an army...

horses and elephants...
in order to help him battle Angwa.

King Tadomengsaw of Angwa

is revolting against Hongsawadee.

This war with Angwa
doesn't seem right.

King Nandabayin
could be setting a trap.

However,
this battle is important.

We should consult my father on war
strategy before moving out.

We must consider this well.

Because King Bayinnong
is now dead,

the city will soon be restless.

Going in early to investigate
is a good idea.

Nevertheless, I should go.

If anything
were to happen to you,

there will be no one
to reclaim Ayutthaya.

Father, there is still
Prince Ekathosarot.

I wish for you
and my brother

to stay here
and watch over the kingdom.

I am accustomed to Hongsawadee's
devious ways. Do not fear.

But I want to go with you.

I want you to go as well,

but it is too dangerous.

If we were both to be killed,

there would be no one left
to save Ayutthaya.

Ayutthaya's future
is in your hands.

You must do
what you think is best.

You cannot allow us to remain slaves
to Hongsawadee forever.

CITY OF KHRAENG

Prince Naresuan of Ayutthaya

and his men

wish to pass through your city
on route to fight Angwa.

We request that you open your city

so that we may take refuge

and rest for a while.

Khraeng is but a small city.

I am afraid
I cannot provide the prince

with the care he needs.

Prince Naresuan is welcome
to establish camp outside the city

where you will find
a river and a temple.

lt is the temple of the head monk,
Khan Shong.

He is the head of the temple.

He shall be able to care for Prince
Naresuan better than anyone else.

If that is the case,

then I shall deliver your message
to the Crown Prince.

After King Bayinnong
passed away,

I decided to move back

to my temple, here...

in the city of Khraeng.

It is fitting
that you have returned.

Bless you, Your Majesty.

I need to remain here for a while.

I would like to get a feel
for whether King Nandabayin

is good or evil.

That is a wise choice,
Your Majesty.

But you must be weary,

as the King of Khraeng

is likely to have sent news

of your arrival.

From now on,
danger is lurking in every shadow.

Prince Naresuan has arrived
in the city of Khraeng.

What are you going to do?

I will have to receive him
as ordered by my father.

We must keep good relations.

This is our chance
to kill Prince Naresuan.

That would be a violation
of my father's orders.

With Prince Naresuan dead,
the king would have no more enemies.

He's no different than
the kings of Khang and Angwa.

He is always looking
for an opportunity to revolt.

The king will even
give you a reward.

What do you suggest we do?

You will have to call on Lord Ram
and Lord Kian.

We will send them to eliminate Prince
Naresuan before he reaches Hongsawadee.

Both men were his classmates.

Prince Naresuan
will have to trust them.

If the plan fails,

we will just blame the Mon
and have them punished.

No one will suspect Hongsawadee.

Lord Ram, Lord Kian.

I am glad
to see you both once again.

The Crown Prince has requested us
to receive you.

King Nandabayin is in a hurry

and wishes for your army
to join the army of Hongsawadee

in order to fight against Angwa.

I appreciate you coming
to receive me in Khraeng.

However,
my men have just arrived.

I wish for them to rest
and conserve their energy.

lf that is what you desire,

then I will send a horseman
to inform Prince Mangsamkiat.

Prince Naresuan,

Prince of the Broken Kingdom.

Prince Naresuan,
Prince of the Broken Kingdom.

Stop right now.

Stop fighting.

Stop right now!

I said, stop.

Who started this?
Speak up.

Kian?

It wasn't me, Father.

- Ram?
- It wasn't me either, Father.

Alright, fine.

If no one will speak up,

then you will all be punished.

It was me, Father.

I'm the reason this happened.

Is there something
you want to tell me?

Prince Mangsamkiat ordered us
to carry out a secret mission.

Lord Kian!

What are you doing?

You are about
to make yourself a traitor.

I do not wish to be a traitor,

but I cannot bring myself
to do as ordered.

You mean the assassination

of Prince Naresuan?

You know of the Crown Prince's plan?

It's not hard to see

that the reason
you have come here tonight

is so you may expose a plan to harm
Prince Naresuan.

But I don't know what to do.

Prince Naresuan
has done nothing wrong.

Nevertheless,
the Crown Prince has ordered us...

Do not tell him anything, Lord Kian.

If Prince Mangsamkiat finds out...

we will be executed.

I am Mon, not one of them.

You are a high-ranking Mon.

You are from royal Mon lineage.

Perhaps you only care about the reward.

Prince Mangsamkiat

planned to have us follow him
with an army,

and then attack him.

With Ayutthaya being caught off-guard,

we were to capture and kill you

in the midst of the battle.

If what you say is true,

then the Crown Prince
is an enemy of Ayutthaya,

even though Ayutthaya does not wish
to be an enemy of Hongsawadee.

We did nothing wrong,

yet Hongsawadee
wishes to persecute us.

The kingdoms of Ayutthaya
and Hongsawadee

will no longer be friendly nations.

lt is Hongsawadee's
own selfishness

which has left my people
in turmoil.

Lord Rachamanoo.

You must go and capture
the King of Khraeng,

along with his entire committee.

Bring them here

before they can send word
to Hongsawadee.

Prince Naresuan of Ayutthaya

will help us reclaim independence
if we help him.

The Mon will be free once again.

Hongsawadee will once again
belong to the Mon.

Help Prince Naresuan

to help us.

Help Prince Naresuan fight Hongsawadee.

And Prince Naresuan will be able
to help us.

Those who want to help Prince Naresuan

fight Tong-Oo,

come pick up your weapons here.

Let me go.

Let me go! Let me go!

With the all-powerful and all-knowing
God as my witness,

the King of Hongsawadee

has proven himself
to be dishonest and unjust.

He has oppressed us
and placed us in harm's way.

On this day I declare

that the kingdom of Ayutthaya

and the kingdom of Hongsawadee

shall sever relations

for now and forever!

Prince Naresuan!

With the armies of Ayutthaya
and Mon combined,

we have 30,000 men.

The remaining army
looking after Hongsawadee

consists of no less
than 500,000 men.

We must cross the Sathong River
before Hongsawadee reaches us.

Otherwise, we shall all die
on the riverbank.

However, the army must go through
a mountain pass first.

The Mon call it Lion Pass.

Lord Rachamanoo,
you and your men

must trap the army
of Hongsawadee there.

You are to tie hay
into round bundles,

set them ablaze
and drop them from the cliffs.

- Yes, Your Highness.
- Lord Chaiburi, Lord Srithamorat,

you will set up cannons here...

120 meters away
from the Sathong River.

Establish a wall of cannons
4.5 meters in front of the riflemen.

Dig a trench and fill it with oil.

This is our last line of defense
against Hongsawadee

before crossing the Sathong River.

You will set fire to the oil

and create a wall of fire
to stop the Hongsawadee.

Then you are to flee
across the Sathong River.

Yes, Your Highness.

King Nandabayin has ordered

any man between 15 and 30 years of age

to report for military duty

in order to battle Angwa.

King Nandabayin has ordered

any man between 15 and 30 years of
age...

King Nandabayin has ordered

any man between 15 and 30 years of age

to report for military duty

in order to battle Angwa.

I have leprosy.

I cannot fight.

I am of no use to you in your war.

Get out of the way.

Why do you hit me?

That hurts.

I am only collecting money

to care for my wife and children.

I am very tired.

I just need to rest for a moment.

Is that wrong?

You are blocking the way
for Lady Manechan,

lady-in-waiting
of Queen Suphankalaya.

Get out of the way
or I shall have you put to death.

I will go to the Yodia Temple.

The monks there
will not treat me like this,

unlike you damn people
of Hongsawadee.

Extinguish that flame.

I have been so worried
about you.

People have been saying

that Prince Mangsamkiat
betrayed you...

and you were to be executed.

Do not worry.

I was aware of the plot.

You should be more worried
for my sister.

What do you want me to do?

You must tell her to come here...

tonight.

I will tell her now.

I cannot leave Hongsawadee
with you, Manechan.

Why?

My son is still young.

If I take him with me,

he will be a burden

that will endanger Ong Dam.

But if I just leave my son behind,

then I do not know
what will happen to him.

But if you and your son

remain here in Hongsawadee,

you could face great danger
from Nandabayin.

My destiny

is to be used as collateral
instead of Ong Dam.

I am not worried
for my own life.

I will trade my life and that
of my son's for the life of Ong Dam.

For that, I can die in peace.

Please give this hairpin
to Prince Naresuan

and tell him that...

I cannot return to Ayutthaya.

You must go
with Prince Naresuan.

Take good care of him
as you have taken care of me.

I never thought my own sister
would love her husband

more than Ayutthaya.

I believe she is more worried for you
than anything else.

If she brought her child
with her, she...

I do not want to hear excuses.

Fine. If my sister
does not want to return,

then I will leave her here
in Hongsawadee.

I am waiting no longer.

How about you, Manechan?

Are you coming with me
or are you staying here?

Wherever you go,
I will follow.

There is one thing we must do
before leaving Hongsawadee.

What?

The King of Khang and his people...
I want to free the King of Khang,

so that they will remember this
in days to come,

and form an alliance with Ayutthaya.

Don't play games. You wish
to save the princess, don't you?

Tell me where the king
and princess are being held.

I have learned that Nandabayin
is holding them captive

in a dungeon
beyond the city walls.

There are very few guards there.

In times of war such as this,
the security is unlikely to be strong.

Just myself and a few men
will be enough

to sneak in and free them.

Lord Rachamanoo.

You are free.
Quickly leave this place.

Thank you for risking your life
to save mine.

There are other captives waiting for you
at Yodia Village.

They are ready to serve you.

Hurry and flee back to Khang,
there is not much time.

I knew you would come for us.

I have been waiting for this day.

You must leave before anyone realizes
what has happened.

What about you?

Don't worry about me.

Worry about yourself.

We shall meet again.

Come here!

I am not going.
I am no longer one of you.

I am a citizen of Hongsawadee.
Do you hear me?

What's going on?

These people are forcing me
to go to Ayutthaya.

Do as you will,
but I am not going.

I am now a citizen
of Hongsawadee.

If that is how you feel,

then I will let you stay behind.

Soldiers, take his belongings.

Take his slaves, his wife and children
and burn down his house.

Yes, Your Highness.

News has come from Khraeng
that Prince Naresuan

is pulling his army back
to Ayutthaya.

- What of Lord Kian and Lord Ram?
- They have sided with Prince Naresuan.

They are leading the Siamese and Mon
to the Sathong River.

How long will you wait

before you send an army
after Prince Naresuan?

Listen to me, Suraguma.

My spies have told me he has been
building an army for two days now.

His army has grown rather large.

It is even large enough
to battle ours.

Prince Naresuan is not returning to
Ayutthaya. That's just a ploy.

You've already fallen
into Naresuan's trap.

The tactic of increasing an army's size
to conceal a withdrawal

is centuries old.
How could you fall for it?

Don't lecture me!

I am undefeated in war.

Prince Naresuan
has set an intricate trap.

He hopes we will be careless
and fall into his web.

We are the absolute power.

Those who defy our will

are to be executed.

Prince Naresuan
will reach the Sathong River tonight.

Within a couple of days
he will build a bridge.

Once he finishes the bridge,
it will be too late.

Soon you will know

that I speak the truth.

Hurry.

Faster.

Get down! Get down!

These men are spies
from Hongsawadee.

They have been watching us
and setting traps.

Cut off their heads
and hang them from the gates.

They must be used as examples!

But if you cut off their heads
before you hang them,

then what body part are you
to hang them from?

Just hang them.
Don't cut off their heads.

Yes sir.

The Mon have arrived,
Your Highness.

The Mon are a part of us,
Lord Thainam.

Yes, Your Highness.

I have caught another spy
from Hongsawadee.

He was...

Lekin,

if you want to leave me

to go help Prince Naresuan,
then go.

But you must go before Prince Naresuan
crosses the Sathong River.

- Mokmou.
- Sir.

It is your responsibility to keep my
daughter safe. Let no harm come to her.

You must hurry. Take my daughter
where she needs to go.

Yes sir.

After you, Your Highness.

My spies have informed me

that Prince Naresuan is constructing
a bridge over the Sathong River.

I am already aware of that.

Mengjamro has already told me.

You are not the only one with spies,
General Suraguma.

Then why haven't you
attacked him?

Close your army in on him

before his men cross
the Sathong River.

Your Highness, why have you brought
Naka headhunters here?

The Naka can penetrate
Prince Naresuan's army.

These warriors can move
without a trace.

No one will notice them.

They will kill Prince Naresuan
while he is sleeping.

That is not the way of a warrior.

It is a vile tactic lacking in honor.

But it will secure our victory
without sacrificing our army.

Be careful, my lady.

Why does Your Highness
take so long to bathe?

This jungle is full of dangers.

You worry too much, Mokmou.

What dangers
could there possibly be

in such a beautiful place?

Then be extra careful.

Beauty often conceals
many hidden dangers.

Just like you, Mokmou.

You have lethal sword skills

hidden behind your great beauty.

Here, I made this for you.

I proclaim you princess
of this beautiful forest.

Naka.
Headhunters.

Everyone ready yourselves!

Be careful, my lady.

Mokmou!

Stop, Your Highness.

It will not come out.
It is barbed.

The only way is to cut it out.

Give me a knife.
l have to cut it out.

No, Mokmou.

Prince Naresuan's army
is not much further.

We just need to get through
Lion's Pass.

There will be a doctor there
who can help you.

The army of Hongsawadee
isn't far behind.

Soon they will close in.

Do not make me your burden.

If they close in, then we will fight.

I will not abandon you.

Mokmou was hit
by a poisoned arrow.

Please help her.

Take her to my room
so she can rest.

Find Lord Rattanaphaet.

Have him come
and see Mokmou at once.

Yes, my lord.

How did you get here?

Why didn't you return to Khang
with your father?

The only thing waiting for you here
is death.

Don't you know

why I risked death to be with you
on this battlefield?

Ask yourself.
Ask yourself why.

You must go, Lekin.

The Hongsawadee army
is approaching fast.

I am worried for you.

You must go.

Then I will fight by your side.

Regardless,

I can't abandon Mokmou.

She took an arrow for me.

I cannot leave her.

Bring me a kiln
and some iron now.

You left the arrow in.
That was smart.

You could have bled to death.

Still, we must remove it
before it poisons your blood.

My lady, hold down her arms.

Bite down.

Tomorrow she can go
to Prince Naresuan's camp.

A Portuguese doctor is there.

He is better than I.

He should be able to help her.

We are indebted to you.

We can never repay you.

The bridge is finished,
Your Highness.

Sound the signal
for the citizens to cross.

Yes, my lord.

Sound the drums.

Move out.
Women, children and the elderly first.

There's no need to rush.

Leave him be.

Move out! Quickly!

Go. Hurry!

Lord Senapimuk.

Have your men prepare the gunpowder.
We will blow up the bridge.

lt will be done, Your Highness.

The army of Hongsawadee
is here!

Quickly!
Hongsawadee is coming.

Lord Rachamanoo needs everyone
who can use a weapon.

You are an excellent fighter,
Your Highness.

He needs you,
Your Highness.

Give me my sword.
You two wait here.

l have prepared a carriage

to take you and Mokmou
to the river.

It's too late for that.

Give the signal!

You must take Mokmou
and wait for me at the Sathong River.

You must think
of Mokmou now.

I must fulfill my duty.

Are we ready to die
for Prince Naresuan?

You two,
go and help Princess Lekin.

Go!

What are you doing here?

Mokmou ordered us to help you.

No!

Mokmou!

Mokmou! Mokmou!

Lord Rachamanoo and his men
have fled from their posts.

The Hongsawadee army
got through Lion's Pass

faster than I expected.

Lead the Siamese and Mon
across the river quickly.

Wait, sire.
I will have checkmate in two moves.

There is no time. The army
of Hongsawadee is on their way.

Open the gates
for Lord Rachamanoo.

Fire the cannons!
Fire!

Fire!

Cease fire!

What do they want?

I don't know.

Should we keep firing at them
or not?

They have come for their dead.

It is a tradition of war.

The survivors come to recover
the bodies of the brave.

It is a trick.

They are here to attack us again.

We should kill them all
before it is too late.

I agree.

We should kill them all.

We are not savages.

This is the culture of war.

If it had been us who lost men,

then they would allow us
to come collect our dead just the same.

Did you see
the head monk's face?

I did.

He appears to have pity
for our enemy.

They are not his enemy.

They are his people.

Ever since he was a monk
in Hongsawadee,

he stopped thinking of them
as enemies.

And what of you?
Do you see them as enemies?

Whether they are friend or foe,

I will execute
every single one of them

if it is the royal decree
of Prince Naresuan.

Just as they would kill
every one of us

if it is the decree
of the King of Hongsawadee.

Fire!

Give me that.

Sire, don't you have a gun?

If Prince Naresuan
does not give the signal soon,

then we will all die.

Our people have crossed the river,
Your Highness.

Lord Racharangson.

Tell Lord Srithamorat to withdraw
the cannons and cross the river.

Yes, Your Highness.

Fight to the death!

Withdraw our men!

Prince Naresuan is across.

It is time for us to follow.

We have to go.

I will stay until the cannons
are withdrawn.

Wait for me on the other side.

My arrows are as good
as your guns.

Hurry!

We can hold them back no longer.

Set fire to the trench.
Hurry!

Bring me a horse.

Get that gunpowder
away from here.

What are you waiting for?

I will not let them kill us.

We have to go.

Bunthing.

Bunthing needs
Your Majesty's help.

He has been shot.

Right now there is only Princess Lekin
left to care for him.

The army of Hongsawadee
is closing in on him.

lf you wish to help him,

then you must go now.

lt is too late
for Lord Rachamanoo.

You must not go.
It is too dangerous.

You need to cross the river.

The bridge must be destroyed,
Your Highness.

Move away!

Nothing can stop me

from helping a man
who has risked his life for mine.

If I left him,
how could I ever be a king?

Move quickly.

Burn this camp. Do not allow
Hongsawadee to seize anything.

Take our people across the river.

If Lord Rachamanoo and I
do not return within two hours,

have Lord Senapimuk
destroy the bridge.

Then lead my people
back to Ayutthaya

and have Prince Ekathosarot prepare
for battle against King Nandabayin.

You must cross the bridge.

I will go back
for Lord Rachamanoo myself.

He is my friend too.

Hurry!

- Lord Rachamanoo.
- Leave me here.

- You must go on.
- No, we will go together.

Lord Rachamanoo!

Leave me here.
You must hurry.

No, we must go together.
I will help you.

I said go. Go!

Go!

It is safe.
You are safe now.

Bunthing!

Go!

Quickly!

Your Highness should stay away
from the cannons.

lt would be safer.

The army of Hongsawadee
are building a bridge.

Soon they will be
across the Sathong River.

Let them cross.
I will kill every one of them.

By nightfall
we will have killed them all.

A long time ago,
Your Majesty came across a weapon

which King Bayinnong
seized from Ayutthaya.

You wanted to touch it,

but I would not let you.

At the time,
you were not yet virtuous enough.

But now your virtue
is that of a king's.

So take these weapons

and enforce your sovereignty
over Ayutthaya.

Your Highness,
your brother has crossed the river.

Really?

But what of General Suraguma?

Prince Naresuan shot Suraguma,
who fell dead atop his elephant.

Without a leader,
the army fled back to Hongsawadee.

But what gun could fire
across the Sathong River?

- It is a miracle, Your Highness.
- Yes, it's a miracle.

The miracle of Prince Naresuan.

I have waited for this day...

the day Ayutthaya
reclaims independence.

From this day onward...

I can now die in peace,

because independence
has been restored

to my homeland
and my people.

The Hongsawadee army has retreated.
We are victorious, Your Highness.

Not yet.

Hongsawadee will stay away until
King Nandabayin returns from Angwa.

We will have time to return
to Ayutthaya.

Then,

the army of Hongsawadee
will attack us again.

Ayutthaya's war with Hongsawadee

will begin then!

We must hurry back to Ayutthaya.

We have much to do.
