[theme music]

- Grandpa!
- Oh, no.

- Grandpa!
- What's wrong? Why is he throwing up?

Necromantic poison.

My poison never fails.

Whenever you feel weak,
I'll be there to cheer you up.

I may be Shamaness Mun's daughter,
but I'm not like who you think I am.

Someday, you may meet a man
who's more than a poor herbal master.

[Pong] I only have you in my heart.

I don't want you near my daughter anymore.

Why don't you understand
what your daughter's heart wants?

[Pin] My mother is sick.

No doctor can cure her.

- [Thong Ek] Well...
- You can address me normally.

[Piengman] If you keep being formal,
I may die first.

[Thong Ek] Sir.

Sir.

Sir!

I need remedies for easing

and curing eruptive fevers,

and a mud dauber's nest.

Okay.

[comical music]

- Let me help.
- Sure.

Okay.

[dramatic music]

How much?

Sir.

- What?
- I'll leave you the whole bag.

I know nothing, Chaba.

[Chui] I brought them food
as you ordered.

I didn't open it or make any stops.

I left right after I gave the food
to Master Thong In.

Are you sure? Think carefully.

- Well?
- Perng and Shamaness Mun.

What? I knew it.

I knew it was that witch's doing.

Who had the nerve to think it was Chaba?

Toon.

You backstabber.

- What?
- [shushes]

Maybe Thong Ek was...

kidnapped and killed by Shamaness Mun.

- Don't say that.
- No.

Let's go see Shamaness Mun.

- Chongko.
- Yes?

You stay here.

Let's go.

Go on.

[Chongko sighs]

REMEDY FOR SPRAYING

[Thong Ek] Grandpa.

I've never made this remedy before.

I never saw you make it, too.

But from my time spent studying under you,

I believe I remember
the formula correctly.

May your spirit

help make this remedy effective.

[uplifting music]

Viscount.

An herbal master is here
to treat Her Highness Pieng.

[tense music]

Can I help you, Ms. Chaba?

Let's go home, Chaba.

This isn't your business.

Master Thong In was like my grandpa.

[Chaba] He died
because someone poisoned him.

How can I let his killer getaway?

Where is the proof

that says

I poisoned Master Thong In?

[suspenseful music]

Is it true, Chui?

Did Shamaness Mun perform an exorcism
for you in her house?

It's true.

She told me to put the food basket there.

Shamaness Mun, you're evil.

Damn you.

Are you accusing me
of poisoning your food, Chui?

[Mun] How ungrateful.

I warded off a spirit for you,

and you dare put the blame me.

Say it if you saw me do it.

Say it.

Chui, say it.

You didn't do anything wrong.

I didn't see it.

[evil laugh]

Chui.

Just tell it like it is.

I didn't see it.

My eyes were closed during the exorcism.

Afterwards, I grabbed the basket and left.

That's it.

You tricked Chui about the spirit.

You pretended to chase it away

and you put poison

in the food, didn't you?

You were envious of Master Thong In.

What?

Tell that to the ignorant people.

Master Thong In died
because of his grandson

who failed to cure him.

You don't know anything.

How can you slander him like that?

It's like how you're accusing me
of poisoning Thong In.

Did any of you see it?

[Mun] Go.

Get out.

Perng, chase them away.

Please leave. Go home.

Let it go and get on with our lives.

You're lying.

Thong Ek's gone.

[Piek] It's your doing, right?

I'll tell the police to arrest you.

- [gasps]
- What?

What? Thong Ek is gone?

How is that my business?

- Search her house.
- Let's go.

Come if you dare.

I'll cast a dark killing spell
on all of you.

Chaba, let's go home.
I don't want to be here.

Get out!

- Let's go, Chaba.
- Damn it.

Who are you?

I'm Thong Ek,

an herbal master from Tha Chalong.

Tha Chalong?

I've never heard of it.

[Wetchwisetkarn] You must be
a common herbal master.

What are you doing here?

His Highness Pin asked me
to treat the princess.

[whimpers]

[sobbing]

Perng.

Stop crying.

[whimpering]

I said stop crying.

[groans]

Stop.

I'm scared.

Everyone knows what we did, Shamaness Mun.

Shh.

Did what? We didn't do anything.

Don't be stupid.

Even if they wake Thong In from his grave,

he wouldn't know who poisoned him.

Mother.

Perng is aware of her mistakes.

She regrets her action.

You should learn from her.

[Pong] Drop the pretense.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Ouch.

Pong, don't you dare lecture me.

What about Thong Ek?

Where is he?

Did you hurt him?

How should I know where he is?

[Mun] Let me tell you.

I have nothing to do

with his disappearance.

[Perng sobbing]

[Chaba] I'm so mad

I couldn't prove Mun is the culprit.

Even if you know she did it,

what can you do?

[clicks tongue]

Damn you, Thong Ek.

Where are you?

Chaba.

I think you should stay calm.

Thong Ek will come back soon.

I hope he is safe.

[exhales sharply]

[dramatic music]

Viscount Wetchwisetkarn asks to see you.

Viscount.

Your Highness.

The princess' condition hasn't improved.

[Wetchwisetkarn] I'm afraid if you let
a common herbal master

such as this man treat the princess,

he may cause her condition
to worsen, Your Highness.

All royal doctors have tried

and failed to cure her.

What's the harm in letting
an herbal master treat her?

Then, Her Highness should resume

taking the medication I prescribed
for a while longer.

Master Thong Ek.

Bring me your remedy.

[suspenseful music]

[Pin] Master Thong Ek.

Bring Her Highness the remedy.

[suspenseful music]

Here.

[suspenseful music]

[Pin] Don't be afraid.

My mother and I want treatment from you.

No matter what people say,

don't let it bother you.

Yes, Your Highness.

Viscount Wetchwisetkarn
was my mother's previous doctor.

Her condition deteriorated
because he couldn't cure her.

[Pin] I think

he may have prescribed

the wrong medication to cure my mother.

That's why she is still sick.

Your Highness.

Did you learn how to address a royal,

Master Thong Ek?

Yes, Your Highness.

[soft chuckle]

Is "Your Highness" all you know?

Yes, Your Highness.

[laughing]

Well, then.

I'll teach you more words.

- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.

[laughs]

[Thong Ek] Wow.

A bed.

I've only slept on the floor.

I've never slept on a bed.

[soft chuckle]

Try it.

It's not hard.

You're a guest of Jessadaprasit Palace.

I want to make you feel welcomed.

Please don't call me a guest.

I'm here to serve you as your servant.

[sighs]

Don't think that way.

It's me who should thank you

for agreeing to treat my mother.

Treating patients is my duty,
Your Highness.

[exhales]

When I went to get you,

I was in a haste.

I brought you here

without asking you whether

you were willing to come

or if you were busy.

No, Your Highness.

It's my greatest pleasure.

I don't have prior engagements.

What about...

your family?

You didn't bid them goodbye.

What about your wife?

I don't have a wife, Your Highness.

[relieved sigh]

That's a relief.

You won't miss or worry about anyone.

Well, then.

Make yourself at home.

Excuse me.

Right.

There are clothes in there.

Feel free to get changed if you want to.

Thank you, Your Highness.

[light music]

I won't miss or worry about anyone.

But I do.

[Chaba sighs]

Chongko.

I've looked for Thong Ek everywhere.

Don't worry too much.

Maybe nothing bad happened.

[Piek] Chongko.

Chongko. Chaba.

It's Thong Ek.

[gasps]
Have you found him?

He's dead.

What?

How did you know?

Who told you?

Sang.

He said there was a body in the woods,

so I hurried there.

I was stunned when I got there.

His face was sodden beyond recognition.

Then,

how can you be sure it was Thong Ek?

I recognized his pink nipples.

[Toon] Though he died days ago,

they're still pink.
[sniffs]

Take me there.

[Piek] Thong Ek.

- Get away from him.
- [Toon] Move.

- Thong Ek.
- Thong Ek.

- Thong Ek.
- Thong Ek.

You died

without seeing us one last time.

Will you leave us nothing

but your pink nipples to remember you by?

Thong Ek.

Thong Ek.

Thong Ek's been gone for only a few days.

Can his corpse be this rotten?

You're right.

Right.

[Piek] It's summertime.

The body may rot faster.

[Chongko] My god.

[clicks tongue]
How come his face is rotten,

but his nipples are not?

How strange.

[Chongko sighs]

I still don't believe Thong Ek is dead.

I'll have my father bring the police in
to examine it.

I'm sure they can help.

Wait, Chaba. Don't go.

Chaba...

If you mention Thong Ek,
you'll make matters worse.

Thong Ek.

Thong Ek.

[Chongko] Piek.

Why are you crying?

The body is so rotten.
We even don't know if it's Thong Ek.

[Piek sobs]

I'm crying because I don't know.

I'm afraid it's really him.

[Piek] Thong Ek.
[cries]

Piek.

Stay calm.

Don't panic.

Could you comfort me with a hug?

Thong Ek.

Thong Ek.

[playful music]

[sobs]
Thong Ek.

Piek.

This is too much. Have some shame.

That's right.

I'm right here.

Thong Ek.
[wails]

[cries]

Wake up.

[Toon crying]

[gasps]

Father.

I have something to ask you.

I thought you were getting dressed
in your room.

What is it? Are you nervous?

Nervous?

About what?

Wait.

Didn't the mothers tell you?

Chaba.

Where have you been?
I've been looking for you.

Saiyood, let's get Chaba dressed.

- Right.
- Come on, Chaba.

Wait.

Mother. Yeuan.

What's going on?

The proposal parade's almost here.

- Let's go.
- The proposal parade?

[baron] Chaba.

Get dressed.

This is my order.

- Come on.
- Let's go.

[thrilling music]

[Yeuan] Here she comes.

[romantic music]

Your father, Madam Gingkae, and I

see that the time has come for you and Gla

to be engaged.

But...

I...

Why do you keep stuttering?

Why are you stalling?

You'll only keep us here longer.

- Father.
- [baron] Chaba.

Enough with your excuses.

[sighs deeply]

Are you waiting for someone?

I have no one to wait for.

Does that mean you accept the proposal?

Well, I...

I need some time to mull over it.

[sighs deeply]

I'll go after her.

- Go.
- Perm.

Sit down.

[sighs]

[baron] I'll go.

[tense music]

[exhales deeply]

Chaba.

[somber music]

[sobs]

Don't cry.

I'm sorry.

[crying]

Father, don't you love me?

You're selling me off
to pay your gambling debt.

I love you.

I love you so much.

[sighs]

But if I don't do this,

I won't have the money
to pay Madam Gingkae back.

Our family

will have nothing left.

We...

We can sell things.

Mother, Yeuan, Imm, and Chui
are great cooks.

We can sell food.

[sighs]

If we do that,

we'll never be able to pay off our debt

even if we keep selling until I die.

Chaba.

You're not only helping me.

You're saving all of us.

Only you can help us.

Please?

[light music]

[sniffles]

[whimpers]

In accordance to western customs,

put the ring on Chaba, dear.

[soft music]

I'm glad you accepted my proposal.

Kiss her.

Do it.

[somber music]

[somber music continues]

Have you kissed her?

Right. Did you kiss her?

Did you?

I did.

[ladies giggle]

[light music]

I don't think Chaba wanted to do it.

I know.

If I'm a grown woman,
I'll take Chaba's place.

You're so precocious, Rampoey.

All the girls in Tha Chalong fancy Gla,

but Chaba doesn't.

How is that possible?

[soft music]

[sighs]

You don't have to think of me as a lover.

Think of me as a friend.

Friends don't get engaged.

You don't know life well enough.

When love develops from friendship,

it will remain true

and outlast other kinds of love.

Like how you're true to me.

That's right.

I'm true to you.

I'll never change.

And I don't want you to change.

I don't want to rush you

or make you uncomfortable.

I won't force you.

I can wait.

[romantic music]

I'll wait for the time
when your heart becomes mine.

[romantic music]

Finally, everything went
as we had hoped for.

There will only be good things
from now on.

But Chaba took long enough

before she accepted the proposal.

Are we going to die first

before the wedding takes place?

Madam Gingkae.

It would be unladylike
if she agreed immediately.

People will say Chaba's desperate
to have a husband.

There must be some pushing and pulling.
[laughs]

[Gingkae] Pushing and pulling is fine,

but not for too long.

I'm afraid one of them

might get impatient
and fall for someone else.

Everything we've planned so far

will be ruined.

[Saiyood chuckles]

Well, how about this?

You can tell Gla to build a house
next to ours starting tomorrow.

It will guarantee the marriage.

Hmm.

[Saiyood] Good idea.

Once the house is finished,

Chaba won't be able to put off
the wedding.

Everything is under our control.

Right.

Build a house?

Do you want my son
to marry into your family instead?

Is there a problem, Gingkae?

I have only one son.

You think about that.

[playful music]

[calm music]

Chaba.

You can't sleep?

No.

If you didn't want to get engaged,

why didn't you just say it?

You're always so stubborn.

You have more nerve than me.

Throw a fit and our parents will give in.

I can't do that.

It's more complicated than that.

[sighs]

I know who you truly love,

but you shouldn't let Gla
take Thong Ek's place.

[Perm] You don't love him.

How can you be with him?

[sighs]

Even if Thong Ek dies,

I don't need anyone to heal my heart.

Why get engaged to Gla, then?

You don't have to know why.

Let me be alone for now.

You and Gla are like my siblings.

We grew up together.

I want you all to be happy.

[exhales heavily]

I wish I could run away to be a nun.

[sighs]

It sounds like a good idea.

You're not serious, right?

[soft music]

[romantic music]

[Thong Ek] Open your palm.

Wow.

Oh!

It's cute.

Is this wood sorrel?

Yes.

What do you use it for?

Many things.

It boosts appetite.

It's an antidote.

[Thong Ek] It cures quinsy,

bruises, and stomachaches.

[giggling]

It's cute.

That's why I picked it for you.

[romantic music]

[romantic music continues]

I'm finally home.

[exhales deeply]

Chaba.

[romantic music]

Thong Ek.

Why are you here?

I'm waiting for you.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

[soft music]

[romantic music]

Chaba.

Are you in there, Chaba?

[Perm] Chaba.

Where is she?

Did she really get ordained?

Ordained?

I want to see her with a bald head.

This is serious, Rampoey.

I'll go tell Mother.

No, you'll make things worse.

You can't tell anyone.

Perm. Rampoey.
Are you here to ask Chaba out?

Have you seen Chaba?

No.

Maybe she went to Chongko's house?

You're right.

Hey.

What about me?

What? Getting ordained?

Oh, no.

Chaba.

She insisted she didn't accept
the proposal because of Thong Ek.

I guess she can't lie to herself anymore.

Let's go to the temple.

Okay. Let's go.

My dear boy.

[groans]

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Meningococcemia is one
of the severe eruptive fevers.

To cure it, there are four types
of remedies.

The first two are for spraying,

and the other two for taking and spraying.

It seems complicated.

A maid told me you cast a spell
over the remedy.

[gasps]

It wasn't a spell, Your Highness.

I was only praying to the teacher
who had bestowed me with the knowledge.

I see.

[Pin] Very well.

Your Highness,
please come to the front gate.

What's going on?

[suspenseful music]

What's this, Viscount Sak?

Why did you bring the police here?

To arrest this unlawful Herbal Master.

What is his crime?

He's not a royal physician.

If he mishandles the treatment
and causes the princess' condition

to deteriorate or worse,
he will be held guilty.

He will be punished.

The treatment requires time
before the princess is cured.

Viscount.

Thank you for your loyalty to my mother,

but this is the outer palace.

Your charge against the herbal master
I personally brought

is also a direct attack against me.

Isn't that so?

No, Your Highness.

You mean well to Her Royal Highness.

[Sak] You are not be blamed.

That being said,

the only one we need to arrest
is the herbal master.

But this person also means well
for my mother.

Isn't that so?

However, he needs to be watched
by the police,

in case he tries to run.

[ominous music]

[Pin] Master Thong Ek.

I can assure you that

you need not to worry.

Treat her to the best of your ability.

Whatever the result is,

don't worry about it.

Before I became an herbal master,

I vowed to my teachers

I'd do my job to the best of my ability.

Even if that means I will come to harm.

I admire your spirit.

I promise no matter what happens,

I won't let anyone hurt you.

I'm most grateful, Your Highness.

[light music]

[Gla] How strange.

You keep smiling to a basket.

These snacks aren't just for Perm.

I know. They're for Chaba too.

[Chongko] Which way, Perm?

Maybe this way.

- Are you sure?
- [Gla] That's Perm and Chongko.

[dramatic music]

Mmm.

Chaba is getting ordained?

Yes, Perm said Chaba was unhappy
about the engagement.

I thought Chaba accepted the proposal

because she saw the good in you.

I need to see her.

Chaba loves Thong Ek.

What did you say?

I never expected it to be Thong Ek.

Perm warned me not to tell anyone.

[gasps]

Master Thong In.

My heart is breaking into pieces.

Please bring Thong Ek home.

I know I shouldn't be involved with him.

But I want him to come home safely.

It's the only thing

that can ease my sorrow.

Chaba.

- Luangta.
- [Luangta] Hello.

What worries you?

You can talk to me.

Talking to the dead's ashes is no use.

- Yes, Luangta.
- [Luangta] Good.

Trying to make others happy

has been causing me so much pain.

I see.

When you're consumed with sorrow,

try and take a step back.

[Luangta] Try to keep a clear head.

You might find a brighter path.

I can't see it.

I have to do this
to repay my parents' kindness.

I don't know what to do.

There are many ways
you can repay their kindness.

There may be other ways
that won't make you suffer.

If you're suffering,

it's an act of sinning.

[Luangta] I believe that

you'll find the right path to take.

- [Chongko] Hurry.
- Bless you, child.

- Chaba.
- Hey.

[Chongko and Perm panting]

- [Luangta] Hello.
- [Perm] Chaba.

Are you getting ordained?

Why didn't you talk to me first?

What's with you? I'm not here to ordain.

- What?
- Luangta is preaching sermons to me.

Chaba.

Chaba.

I'm not getting ordained.

[all sigh]

[playful music]

[calm music]

I've brought two remedies.

One for oral intake and the other
is for spraying, Your Highness.

Spray this in the morning, noon,
evening, and before bed.

[light music]

[light music continues]

[birds chirping]

[soft music]

Do you want it?

Have you seen Thong Ek?

He's been gone for days.

No one has seen him.

The merchants have also
been asking about him.

My knees hurt.
I don't know where to get the remedy.

Calm down. Please ask around for him.

I'm worried sick.

[Chongko] You guys.

Have you not found Thong Ek?

No.

Right.

I heard there was a body found
by the river bend.

Thong Ek.

[suspenseful music]

Are you looking for him?

Yes.

I'm sure the corpse from yesterday
wasn't him.

- Let's go to the river bend.
- Come on.

- Go.
- Come on, Chaba.

Chaba.

Mother.

Are you feeling better?

Her health has improved,

but she still needs the remedial spray.

Go on, then.

[soft music]

Has Thong Ek really disappeared?

[laughing]

He must be afraid
he'll be the next one to die.

[giggles]

He's smart to save himself.

Pong can finally stop fantasizing
about him.

But from what I heard,
Chaba and Gla are already engaged.

I think it's you
who needs to stop fantasizing.

- Perng.
- Ouch.

So what?

A man can have many wives.

I'll get Pong to be Gla's wife
one way or another.

Yes, Shamaness Mun.

[dreamy music]

What are you doing?

You'll fall into the water.

I don't want to intrude,

but, please,

come up.

It's bothering me.

I don't know whether you're trying
to kill yourself.

Whatever you're doing,
do it out of my sight.

It's my life, not yours.

Will you come up

or do I have to drag you?

What I do is my business.

Why are you so nosy?

If you fall into the water,

don't call me for help.

[shrieking]

Help. Please help me.

- I won't fall for that.
- [Pong] Help me.

Help.

[Pong screams]

[Pong] Help me.

- [Gla] What is it?
- [Pong] Help.

- What's wrong?
- [Pong] Help me.

What is it?

Something is under my shawl.

[Gla] Let me see.

[shrieks]

You asked me to help.

[screaming]

It's on my back.

- [Pong] It's on my back.
- Stay still.

[Gla] Stay still.

It's crawling this way.

Where?

[Pong] What are you doing?

Stay still. I said stay still.

- I found it.
- [shrieks]

[romantic music]

It's just a cricket.

[pants]

You know, you're a trouble magnet.

Or are you...

trying to arouse me?

You succeeded.

I'm so aroused...

with anger.

You're annoying me.

I'm out of words to reproach you.

I'm not worried about you.

I'm afraid people who walk by may see
your clothes falling off

and get a stye.

[panting]

[romantic music]

Stay still. I said stay still.

- I found it.
- [shrieks]

[romantic music]

[light music]

A RESTORATIVE REMEDY

What are they? They look pretty.

A remedy to restore energy, Your Highness.

What for?

I don't need much strength.

I'm confined to my bed.

You've recovered from your illness.

You need to regain your strength.

What did you say?

My mother has been cured?

Yes, Your Highness.

How are you feeling?

I've been feeling well for several days,

but I didn't think I was cured

because I still feel weak.

That's why I made you
this restorative remedy.

I see.

[Piengman] This is the first remedy

that looks appetizing.

[tense music]

Viscount Sak.

Thank you for having the police

keep watch on my mother
these past few days.

[Pin] They can leave now.

Take them back.

I can't, Your Highness.

I need to obey the law.

Why can't you?

My mother has been cured.

What? How is it possible?

Is there a problem, Viscount?

Your Royal Highness.

Do I need to go down

for you to have a closer look

to make sure I'm really cured?

Forgive me, Your Highness.

[Sak] Master.

Please help ease my curiosity.

[Wetchwisetkarn] The princess

had scarlet fever.

The fever needs to be broken.

Otherwise, it will spread
to her liver and lungs.

Isn't it so?

Yes, sir.

I almost made the wrong diagnosis.

[Thong Ek] I knew what disease she had
because of her thirst.

Meningococcemia requires alleviation
before the treatment.

"Meningococcemia"?

Not scarlet fever?

[Wetchwisetkarn] I didn't expect that.

The two diseases have
very similar symptoms.

Yes, sir.

Of course.

The only difference is the symptom
after breaking the fever.

Yes, sir.

[dramatic music]

A healer who can admit his own mistakes

is a healer with a true benevolent heart.

[heroic music]

[Piengman] Are you going home, Thong Ek?

Stay and explore Phra Nakhon
for a few days.

I've left home for many days.

I miss home.

Tha Chalong?

What is there to miss?

How about this?

[Piengman] You're a very skilled
herbal master.

Would you like to be a royal physician?
I'll arrange it.

With your skills,

you'll have a bright future
as a royal physician in the palace.

I'm most grateful to you.

But Tha Chalong has no other healers.

If I stay here for personal advancement,

people at Tha Chalong
won't have an herbal healer.

I see that Phra Nakhon
already has many capable doctors.

I won't be needed here
as much as I'm needed back home.

You have a point.

Every place needs a healer.

The lives of people in the capital
are as valuable

as the lives of people in rural areas.

[Piengman] I'm happy for people
at Tha Chalong

that they have
a noble herbal master like you, Thong Ek.

Let's go, Master.

I was the one who brought you here.

I should also be the one
to take you back home.

Hold on.

This medicine kit is a way
of showing my gratitude to you

for curing me of my illness.

[heroic music]

Thank you, Your Highness.

I'll protect it with my life.

Goodbye, Your Highness.

Piek. Toon.

Where is everyone?

Hey, Thong Ek.

You're still alive?

Oh, sir. That's a nice welcome.

Of course, I'm alive.

Toon and Piek have been looking
for you every day.

[man 1] They thought you were dead.

They are at the temple.

They're arranging a funeral.

[gasps]

- A funeral?
- Yes.

Thanks.

I brought Thong Ek's clothes
to represent him.

Can you pray for his soul
to rest in peace?

How can you be sure Thong Ek is dead?

- Why?
- He's been gone for days.

- Oh.
- No one has seen him.

I'm afraid he will become
a wandering spirit.

I feel bad for him.

I see.

[Thong Ek] Piek. Toon.

- Hey.
- That voice sounds familiar.

Piek. Toon.

[Piek and Toon scream]

[both] A ghost!

Luangta.

Please chase him away.

Chase him away, Luangta.

- Hey.
- Please go in peace.

What is with you two?

You were just mourning for him.

Hey, I'm not dead.

Really?

I went to treat a patient in Phra Nakorn.

Good.

I brought you gifts.

Are you really not dead, Thong Ek?

Of course.

What is with you?

- Hey.
- This is crazy.

- You're really not dead.
- Yes.

Thong Ek, you're alive.

[both mumbling]

Thong Ek.

- Thong Ek.
- Thong Ek.

You're all so immature.

[all laughing]

It's good that you're back.

Wait.

Who else thinks I'm dead?

[both] Everyone!

- Everyone?
- Yes.

Chaba too?

Yes, especially here.

[playful music]

- Thong Ek.
- Hey.

Where are you going?

He must be going to see Chaba.

Ms. Kied, how are you?

Thong Ek.

[Kied] You're already dead

and you're still worried about me?

I'm okay.

Look closely.

No ghost is this handsome.

[screams]
Goodness. A ghost!

[Kied] Help!

Damn.

Am I a ghost now?

[sighs]

[all grunting]

- Ah, here I come!
- Wait. What?

Who is that?

- What?
- [man 2] Thong Ek.

- It's his ghost! Run!
- It's his ghost! Run!

[man 2] A ghost!

Chaba.

[gasps]

Thong Ek.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

[whimpers]

I'm happy

you've come to tell me.

But you didn't have to.

[sobs]

Just come to me in my dreams.

Or you can have Piek and Toon
relay the message.

But...

you don't need to come and see me.

I'm scared. I'll dedicate merit
to your spirit.

Even you think I'm a ghost.

It's because you're dead.

[wails]

[Chaba panting]

[mumbles]

[panting]

[crying]

[whimpering]

Chaba.

Are you...

not a ghost?

Come be with me, Chaba.

- [shouts]
- [screams]

- [laughing]
- [Chaba groaning]

You can't even tell a man from a ghost.

What ghost comes out in broad daylight?

[Thong Ek laughs]

[Thong Ek] Hey.

What's with you?

[gasps]

You're still alive?

That's right.

[screams]

You're alive!

[Chaba mumbling]

What's wrong, Chaba?

Then why did you trick me?

I didn't.

- Why did you?
- Put the sword down.

Chaba, don't do this.

Chaba.

[mumbles]

[both panting]

Were you worried about me?

You've been gone for many days.

I thought you were dead.

Thanks for your concern.

Are you doing well?

Not really.

You're not well?

What's wrong?

I'm worried.

I'm not sick.

You were worried because I disappeared.

That too.

Because you care for me.

If today is my last day with you,

what will you do for me?

[gasps]

If this is the last day

I get to be with you

before I die?

That's not what I mean.

Hypothetically speaking,

if we don't see each other again

and today

is our last day together,

what will you do for me?

What do you want to do?

I'll let you decide.

[romantic music]

[lively music]

I want to have santols.

That's all?

That's easy.

Wait a second.

Be careful.

[Thong Ek] Chaba, here you go.

- [Thong Ek] Here.
- [shrieks]

[crunches]

Your garden is huge.

This isn't my garden.

What?

- Whose garden is it?
- I don't know.

Hey.

Did we just steal the santols?

You stole them, not me.

Chaba.

What are you doing?

[Thong Ek gasps]

Chaba, don't be afraid.

I'll apologize to him nicely.

Chaba.

Chaba!

Follow me quickly. Come on.

I'm sorry.

- Hurry.
- [Thong Ek] Chaba.

[Thong Ek] You devil.

[cheerful music]

[groans]

I want a white sacred lotus,

not like this one.

What?

You're so picky.

As you can see,
there are only pink ones here,

and you want a white one?

You said I could have anything.

You can have only what is possible.

What is prettier than this flower?

Me.

Wrong.

What, then?

What's prettier than this flower
is another flower.

That's not funny.

I think I need to learn more
from Piek and Toon.

[soft chuckle]

You're as silly as your friends.

Are you calling me silly?

Yes, I am.

[screams]
No.

I'm all wet.

- [laughs]
- [Chaba] You jerk.

- There.
- Chaba.

Hey.

- [Chaba] Take that.
- Chaba.

[Chaba] Do you want the boat

- to capsize again?
- [Thong Ek] Chaba.

I'm sorry. Chaba, don't.

Please stop. I'm sorry.

Fine.

- Here!
- [Thong Ek] Chaba!

- [both laughing]
- Chaba, stop it.

[lively music]

Let's go.

Yes, let's go help them.

No.

Let's get out of here.

Why?

Do you want to give them privacy?

Well...

I'm afraid I'll have to eat
Chaba's cooking.

You're right.

Let's go.

What are you making?

A remedy.

Aren't you cooking?

If you can't differentiate
between cooking and making medicine,

you should quit.

You're cooking.

I'm making you lotus stem curry.

Why are you nice to me?

Do you want something?

I don't want anything.

If you don't want to eat it,

I'll stop making it.

Carry on.

I want to eat your cooking.

[romantic music]

[Thong Ek] Wow.

It looks yummy.

Is it bad?

[gulps]

It's delicious.

I don't believe you. You're lying.

- Let me try.
- No.

I'll eat it.

No, let me taste it.

You tasted it when you were cooking.
Why try it again?

I didn't. I just cooked.

Give it to me.

- Come on.
- No, Chaba.

- Oh.
- Oops.

[groans]

I spilled the whole dish.

What a shame.

You cooked it.

- No.
- You didn't get to eat it.

I'll make another one.

What? Chaba.

You've been out all day.
Sit here and rest.

Sit tight. I'll cook for you.

I'll be right back.

You don't want to eat my food
because I'm a bad cook.

That's not true.

Don't lie to me.

It's a little salty

and just a tad too sweet.

Thank you

for trying to please me.

I didn't want to discourage you.

Don't be sad, Chaba.

If I misspoke,

I'm sorry.

It's actually not that sweet.

It's all right.

I have to go home.

Are you really mad at me?

[somber music]

Chaba.

[somber music]

Thong Ek.

I can no longer come and see you anymore.

I want you to remember
our memories together.

Remember the good things.

And forget

all the bad things.

What's wrong, Chaba?

You'll hear about it soon.

I want to hear it from you,

not from someone else.

What's wrong?

[sighs]

I...

I'm engaged.

[dramatic music]

[somber music]

Hey.

- Where's Chaba?
- Right.

Well, you were happy to see her.

Are you that devastated when she's gone?

Am I right?

Chaba is engaged.

[both] What?

Hey.

[Toon] She seems so into you.

- Right.
- Who's her fiancé?

I guess she doesn't really love you.

[Piek] She changed her mind fast.

She must've thought you were dead,
that's why she got engaged.

It's okay.

- There is plenty of fish in the sea.
- Yes.

You lost Chaba, but you still have Pong.

[Piek] What?

I've done Pong wrong.

Don't get so sentimental.

Her mother killed your grandpa.

[tense music]

What?

- Tell him.
- What?

- [Toon] You tell him.
- [Piek] You tell him.

- You tell him.
- You tell him.

Mun.

I'll kill her.

- Thong Ek.
- Thong Ek.

- Don't be rash.
- Thong Ek.

Calm down. I'm mad too,
but you can't just kill someone.

Thong Ek!

[sobs]

[tense music intensifies]

Our bedroom will be over there,

facing the east.

I'll put up a curtain.

When you want to sleep in,

you can close it.

What do you think?

You decide.

And over there,

I'll build a courtyard

for practicing sword fighting.

You can practice with me.

What do you think?

Whatever you say.

What else do you want?

I'll tell the builder.

Why are you building a house here?

Didn't your mother disapprove it?

I had a word with her,

and she allowed it.

My future father-in-law wants it.

He wants me to move in.

That's why I'll do it.

Well, then.

You decide.

I'll go along with whatever you say.

Whatever I say?

Since I've known you,

I never had a say in anything.

I'm so happy.

I'll try not to hurt you again.

I love you so much,

Chaba.

[Thong Ek] Do you love him, Chaba?

[tense music]

I have my reasons.

I love you.

[romantic music]

I'm sorry I made you uncomfortable.

I hope you're happy with your decision.

Whatever your reason is,

you probably thought it through.

[romantic music]

[crying]

What are you making today?

Thapthim krop.

I like it.

You might not after you try it.

I like whatever you make.

Can I help?

Dice the water chestnuts.

[Yeuan giggling]

See, Saiyood?

Gla's charm can soften any girl's heart.

Even I am smitten with him.

He's with Chaba.

It was just a thought.

But seeing this makes me feel relieved.

- They'll make a good couple.
- Yes.

- I can't wait for the wedding.
- [giggling]

Ms. Glin refuses to see you.

Then,

give this letter to her for me.

She won't accept anything.
Please leave, sir.

[playful music]

[man 3] He's gone.

Glin.

[Perm] Ouch.

Glin.

Please listen. Don't shut me out.

I don't want to talk.

If you want to talk,

talk to Chongko.

Ouch.

Why would I talk to Chongko?
I don't want to talk to her.

You don't?

I saw you walking around the market
holding each other's hands.

It was just that day.

It was an emergency.

Believe me.

[romantic music]

Thank you.

For what?

I was the one who hurt you.

Thank you for listening.

I'm sorry for making assumptions.

But I'm glad because now I know

how you feel about me.

You finally get to eat my snacks.

[groans]

My hand hurts.

Use the other hand.

It's hard.

Don't eat it, then.

You're mean.

You're a flirt.

Please, my lady.

You're annoying, mister.

[chuckles]

[romantic music]

Is it good?

Yes.

[lively music]

- Toon.
- Yes?

- Toon.
- What?

Look at Thong Ek.

[Toon] Wow.

He has huge biceps. I wish I had that.

Me too.

- Goodness.
- Hey.

I don't mean his biceps.

I'm just joking.

I mean that Thong Ek

must be heartbroken again.

He hasn't said anything.

He's been plowing all day.

It's like he's blowing off steam.

Thong Ek.

Say something.

[Toon] We can't help but get worried

every time you are quiet, like this.

[somber music]

[Piek] Look at him.

Seeing him sad makes me sad.

He found out Mun killed his grandpa

and that Chaba got engaged.

I'm afraid that

he will break down.

Though I'm hurt,

I won't be bedridden like the last time.

The more it hurts, the stronger I will be.

- Wow.
- Hey.

- He's talking.
- Thong Ek.

- He's talking.
- Thong Ek.

Keep talking, let it out. Don't be sad.

You're finally talking.

I know Chaba's the only one

in your heart,

but don't forget you have us.

I'm always here for you.

That's right. You have me too.

- Okay?
- You have us.

Don't be sad.

- Thanks, guys.
- Sure.

Can we not be too emotional?

I'm having goosebumps.

- Oh, right.
- Damn.

Think of it this way.

A way to get over someone

is to get under someone else.

- [imitates chicken clucking]
- [all laughing]

You may be hurt from love,

but only love can hurt like this.

[grunts]

[groans]

Thong Ek.

Toon's joking.

You idiot. I should slap you.

Why?

You should cheer him up,
not bring him down.

How was I wrong?

Give it another try.

- Redeem yourself.
- Okay.

An abyss is a bottomless pit.

Climbing out is hard but it's possible.

But there is no escape

from the abyss of love.

"The abyss of love"?
How about a kick from me?

- What?
- What nonsense is that?

What a blabbermouth.

You've gone nuts talking to yourself.

What did I do?

Thong Ek.

Pong.

I'm sorry.

People at the market said
that you're back.

I wanted to see if it's true.

I'm glad that you're back safe and sound.

Thanks for your concern.

You should go home. It's getting dark.

You're dismissing me so soon.

Can't you stay and talk to me
a bit longer?

Walking in the woods at night isn't safe.

It might be dangerous.

My mother is the real danger.

Does she still abuse you?

Uh...

Sometimes.

Don't mind me.

I'm just complaining. I can bear it.

No one's protecting me.

I have to protect myself.

If you don't want to see me,

I'll go now.

Pong.

Tell me something.

Yes?

My grandpa was killed by poison.

I'm not accusing anyone,

but did you see your mother

make any poison recently?

[tense music]

No.

She may seem evil,

but she didn't poison Master Thong In.

I promise you.

You have the wrong person.

I'm sorry. It was just a thought.

Yes.

[suspenseful music]

[birds chirping]

[suspenseful music]

Thong Ek.

Why are you so shocked? I'm not a ghost.

What are you doing?

I'm collecting mushrooms
and herbs like I always do.

Calm down.

He's not a ghost. Why are you so afraid?

Or is it because
you did something bad to Thong Ek?

No, I've never done anything.

[Perng] Stop throwing blame at me.

I'm not one of you.

[whimpers]

Perng.

I think you know what
we are talking about.

[panting]

I don't know what you mean. Let me go.

Besides Shamaness Mun,

who else can make a poison?

I said I don't know.

What do you use to make a poison?

Go ask Shamaness Mun.
Why are you asking me?

[Toon] Wait.

So, Mun can make a poison.

I said I don't know.

Maybe someone hated your grandpa

and put poison in his food.

I didn't ask about him.

I just want to know
who else can make a poison.

[tense music]

I said I don't know.

If Grandpa were here,

he would tell me to drop the matter.

Will you let her go?

This time,

I really can't drop it.

Shamaness Mun.

I'm going crazy
because of Master Thong In's matter.

Now, Thong Ek is trying

to force the truth out of me.

I think we really need to kill him.

Kill him?

I won't do it.

I'm begging you. Don't do it.

If you won't do it,

I'll kill you instead.

[panting]
I want to leave.

You always make me do evil things.

I'll live somewhere else.

[groaning]

Are you being ungrateful to me?

I raised you since you were a baby.

It's a shame I trusted you.

[pained groan]

It hurts.

You're hurting me.

[screams]

Swallow it.

No.

[Perng coughing]

What did you give me?

[Perng whimpers]

If you leave me,

you'll die from constipation
caused by the pill.

[whimpering]

No, I don't want to die.

Quit whimpering.

Find me venomous animals
so I can make the poison.

I don't want to go.
I don't want to run into Thong Ek.

Go now,

or be prepared to die.

- Go.
- [crying]

Perng.

[whimpers]

Did Mother hurt you again?

[groaning]

You poor thing.

What did she make you do?

Pong, honey.

[foreboding music]

Are you back from buying rice?

Mother.

Just talk normally.

Did you see Gla?

No, he went to see Chaba.

Stop making me go buy rice from the mill.

There's enough rice at the market.

Damn it. You two are useless.

You're so naive about this matter,

but you're always on to me

when I'm plotting evil schemes.

You never know of my good deeds.

I really don't.

Perng.

Get moving.

Go upstairs.
Why are you standing in the sun?

No one will want you if you get sunburnt.

- [retreating footsteps]
- [sighs]

[Chongko] Chaba.

Chaba, come with me.

What's going on, Chongko? Go where?

What? Let's go.

Wait, Chaba.

Where are you going?
Don't you want to bake?

We got the ingredients.

I'll go see Thong Ek.

- Let's go.
- Chaba.

I don't hate Thong Ek,

but are you breaking your promise to Gla?

[Perm] You said you won't hurt him.

It's not good to go back on your words.

You're right.

I'll let you handle it.

Handle what?

Come on. I'll tell him.

Stop shying away. Come here.

Let's go.

- I knew it.
- Ouch.

Piek, why did you slap my knee?

I saw you gaping at Perm.

I slapped you to get a grip.

Thanks, but don't bother next time.

Okay.

Chaba wanted to ambush and capture Mun,

but I stopped her.

It might not be safe.

Good.

Thank Chaba for me

for sending you to tell me.

[sighs]

I can't believe
that Shamaness Mun can be so cruel.

Dear Lord.

The truth is almost out.

[Piek] Please help us catch that witch

in the act.

Not yet.

[dramatic music]

Wow.

[ominous music]

Damn.

What's that smell?

It stinks.

God!

[Perng sighing]

[sniffs]

[screaming]

Is it a ghost?

[screams]

Yes.

[screaming]

Please don't haunt me.

[Perng] I'll dedicate merit to you.

[whimpers]

I am Master Thong In.

Master Thong In?

I know nothing. It wasn't me.

I didn't do anything.

Don't lie to me.

Satan told me

it was you

who poisoned me.

Did you hear wrongly?

If you don't confess,

your name

will be on the list of people

who've been damned to hell

for all eternity.

No, I don't want to go to hell.

Please have mercy.

I'll tell you.

[Perng] Shamaness Mun told me

to put the poison in the fried fish.

It was for Thong Ek,

but Master Thong In ate it
and got poisoned instead.

[Perng] I'm sorry.
[crying]

[Thong Ek] What did you say?

The necromantic poison was for me?

Thong Ek.

Well?

Yes.

Shamaness Mun wanted Pong to get over you.

I'm sorry.

She made me do it.

I didn't mean to. I'm really sorry.

[Toon] Don't apologize.

Not only are you going to hell,

you're also going to jail.

You heard her.

[mumbling]

[Perng] No.

Let's go.

A ghost.

I'm scared.
[screams]

Piek.

- Damn.
- Piek, get up.

- Are you okay?
- Gosh.

Come on.

Thank you, Chongko.

You're welcome.

Doing makeup

is no big deal.

Go wash your face. You look scary.

- Let's go, Toon.
- Bye, Piek.

What a scaredy-cat.

[sighs]

You have both beauty and brains.

Yes...
[screams]

Damn it. I almost had a heart attack.

- Don't be scared, my dear.
- You know,

you look the same as a ghost
and whenever you have makeup on.

Can you make me look handsome?

Sure.

I'll do your makeup for you...

when you die.

I'll make your corpse look nice.

Here.

I bought you a new garment.

Wear it to the festival tomorrow.

Go out and have fun.

Why are you suddenly nice to me?

Are you plotting something?

Nonsense.

I'm your mother.

Can't I show you love?

[soft music]

You like to argue with me,

but you love me anyway, right?

I know you didn't tell anyone
about Thong In

because you love me.

It's because I'm your mother, right?

Don't do evil deeds again.

Okay.

Go on.

Go try on the garment.

[soft music]

With you gone, no one will get in my way

when I make a potion to induce
Thong Ek's death.

I only asked her to gather herbs.
Where did she go?

She must have wandered away.

[Perng] You're hurting me.

[Mun] Perng.

What did you do?

Are you Mun?

Yes, I'm Mun.

Thong Ek told us
that you poisoned his grandpa.

Come with us.

No, I didn't do it.

This is slander.

Don't lie.

Perng confessed everything.

[tense music]

Grab her.

Over there.

Stop running.

Stop.

[Mun] Let me go.

Don't you know who I am?

I'll curse you to die in three days.

Let me go.

Thong Ek.

She didn't do anything wrong. Let her go.

You knew what she did, didn't you?

And you're still protecting her?

[Mun] Let me go.

I didn't do it. Let me go.

Let go.

Let go of me.

[tense music]

[Thong Ek] Chaba has yet to marry you.

She's not yours yet.

Are you going to fight me?

If you don't accept it, you won't be able
to stay in Tha Chalong.

Hey, Toon!

Come out, Toon!

Stay still.
I'll apply the medicine for you.

NEXT EPISODE

If you guys don't hug each other,

I'll chop your heads into two.

I'm not the only one who is hurt.
Please go take care of Gla as well.

I'm doing this for you both.

Otherwise, I would have run away
with him already!

- Chaba!
- Dear!

Lock Chaba in her room.
