BANG RAJAN

Are you sure, Taen,
the Burmese will pass through here?

What are you worried about?

We beat them every time they come.
We'll beat them again...

this time.

Wait for me here.

You come with me.

Let's go!

Hurry up.

Let's go! Charge!

Kill every last one of them!

Let's go!

Watch my back.

Go away!

Quick!

Quick! They come from that way.

Let's go!

The General's been hit!

The General's been hit!

Retreat!

Retreat!

Food.

Taen, a whole Burmese battalion
is camped in the forest.

Hurry up. Eat quickly.

The General's in bad shape.

Shouldn't we pull back?

General! General!

Hey! Go away!

Taen's been hit!

- Taen.
- Go that way.

Hey, Taen.

- Taen.
- Calm down.

- Calm down.
- Hey!

Chorb and Ming, summon the abbot. Quickly!

Father!

It hurts!

Here we go.

Quick! Get the medicine!

Father.

Thanks.

Seems I need help just to stand.

Don't talk like that, Taen.

Bang Rajan isn't strong
with an injured leader.

The village needs to find
someone strong to replace me.

There is one man.

He hates the Burmese with a passion.

He's not afraid to die.

He comes from the village
of Nang Buat Mountain.

Who goes there? Show yourself.

Who the hell are you? You're not Burmese.

Don't you know how dangerous
it is around here?

We're from Bang Rajan.
We're looking for Chan Nuat-Kheo.

That's me. What do you want?

We want you to lead
the village warriors at Bang Rajan.

Look at this.

They're cart tracks. So?

See how deep they are?
They're Burmese chariots.

They're taking cannons
to Ayutthaya via Prasop Canal.

The bodies you just saw
were Burmese rear guards.

Your village is growing bigger by the day.

I fear the Burmese may one day
turn those cannons in your direction.

PRASOP CANAL BATTLEFIELD

Chan's mustache
is as long as this buffalo's horns

and he's about as smart as a buffalo too.

They flatter him well beyond the truth.

But these villagers
always put their faith in whatever's new.

They'd probably see
dog poop and call it gold.

Am I glad to see you here.

Same with me. Glad to be here.

Here. Blessed cloth from the abbot.
For good luck. Take it.

I'd like to see the abbot.

Me too. Let's go.
We'll meet back at Taen's place.

Let's go.

Hey!

What can I do

to make them show me a little respect?

Oh.

Look at you.

Drunk as a dog.

Chan. How are you?

Fighting fit, Holy Father.

I didn't think you'd ever leave
Nang Buat Mountain.

Long ago, I asked you
to go live in the jungle. You refused.

Live in the jungle?

What about the villagers? The children?

You would have me leave them?

So how's the temple here?
As good as the one at Nang Buat?

My task is to preach and to teach.
That's enough.

Father, how are you?

I'm fine. How are you, my little novice?

I haven't seen you for so long.

It's wartime, yet I'm not hurt or sick,
so I guess I'm very good.

Who asked you to become a novice monk?

The abbot ordained me.

You were gone so long,
we didn't know what had happened to you.

And the abbot said by making merit
I could help you,

wherever you were.

Bless you.

Your mother would be so proud of you.

May she rest in peace.

Taen! This is Chan.

Taen, there was no need for you to come.
I was going to see you

after I'd spoken to the abbot.

Chan, I've got something to tell you,

and I want to speak
to the abbot, the monks,

and everyone here in this chapel.

The abbot has told me about you,

that you're a skilled man.

We lack good men here,

especially now that I'm injured.

It's like this village

no longer has a strong leader.

Chan, can you lead Bang Rajan?

We are just vigilantes.

But if you think I can do it,
I will not refuse you.

You decide how you want us
to man the shifts.

This is where the village wall erodes.

This is the rear of the camp.

There's a winding canal
that serves as another wall.

Every time the Burmese have attacked,
they haven't been able to pass here.

It's difficult to move an army through.

This man's a good fighter.

He's a drunkard but he's highly skilled.
He always manages to escape

and comes back wearing
Burmese armor like this.

Take him back to the camp.

What do you think of Chan
going to live in the jungle?

Isn't he worried about
his wife and children?

Or is his family dead already?

Why are you so interested in Chan?

It's just the two of us here, and you are...

much more interesting than anyone else.

Bua!

Bua!

My Bua!

I've seen the cannon tracks
of the Burmese.

I've spoken with Taen already.
We think we should have cannons too.

I've written a formal request for arms.

I need someone to take it to Ayutthaya.

AS BANG RAJAN IS UNDER THREAT...

Wait for me here.

They're here! They're here!

How much longer do we have to wait?

Exactly.

Food.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Most people upcountry are fleeing
their villages and coming here.

But you people seem intent
on challenging the Burmese army.

What the hell are you
Bang Rajan people thinking?

The truth is we're not from Bang Rajan.

We're originally from Ban Sri Bua Thong.

We farmed and hunted.

We had a peaceful life.
We're just ordinary people.

Hey! keep your mind on the job
and you won't hurt yourself.

They say you shouldn't spill blood
at an ordination ceremony.

Quick. Clean it up.

What's wrong with you?

You're not yourself lately.

Hey! What's taking Taeng-Onn so long?

- Ouch! Let me go!
- I'll let you go

but only if I take you
to your grandmother.

Hey! Stop that, Taeng-Onn.

Let him go. You'll rip his ear off.

Look at the size of that boar.

Inn must have shot it, right?

No. It was Meuang.

On second thought, it's not that big.
Hardly get a curry out of it.

Meuang, you're not much
of a hunter, are you?

Tell me straight.

You didn't kill that boar, did you?

Well? Got nothing to say?

Or did you just forget
to brush your teeth?

Say what you like.

But one day,

it'll be my sword that protects you.

Hey! Som!

Som! Are you back on leave?

No. I deserted

and brought these three with me.
I'm back for my son's ordination.

Just don't tell my mother.
She'll make a big deal of it.

Juk! Chaem!

Juk, your father's home!

- Father!
- Here.

- Come!
- I'm happy for him...

- Quickly!
- ...to see his grandson ordained.

He is blessed to get to see his boy
ordained a novice monk.

Father!

Run, Mother, run!

No!

Let go of me!

Inn! Help me! Let go of me!

Hey! Meuang!

After that, the Bang Rajan villagers
invited the survivors

to join them
and take refuge in the village.

We were all united
in our hatred of the Burmese.

Our numbers swelled by the day.

We knew we could not run.

We would face the Burmese together.
Around that time,

I teamed up with a crazy ax man
by the name of Tong-Menn.

Even the monks
left the priesthood to take up arms.

Soon, the local temple was empty.

We might as well check the temple.

Hey! Don't kill him.

I ask you to spare this life for my sake.

But Father, he's Burmese.

Are the Burmese not also men,
men just like you?

They know pain just as we all do.

I cannot flout your wishes, Holy Father.

Where do you come from?

Bang Rajan.

We've come to invite you
to reside in our temple.

To be our spiritual guide.

Thus the revered monk Thammachote
joined the villagers of Bang Rajan.

And the villagers found in him
the will, spirit, and inspiration

to win victory each time
they went to fight.

So you wear that sacred cloth
to battle every time?

That's right.

What must I do to have
a charm such as this?

You've been very kind
and we have nothing to give you in return.

If you'd like this cloth, please take it.

Really? You'd really give this?

Has a decision been made, sir?

May you have a long, healthy life.

Next time you offer,
you must keep some food for yourself.

And your son. How is he?

Dead.

That's why I'm offering you food.

So he may have
a full stomach in the afterlife.

Taen. Can you sharpen my sword?

Sure.

Wait a minute.

Whose ax is this? It's huge.

It's Tong-Menn's.

Just looking at it gives me a sore arm.

Tong-Menn, the drunkard.

What's he like anyway?

I've asked the same question myself.
I still know nothing.

All I know is he came here on a cart,

drunk as a dog, and he's never sobered up.

Tong-Menn!

Here are your axes.

You're an expert axman.

Why don't you teach
the villagers your craft?

I'm not a teacher.

Why do I have to teach?
We're all going to die anyway.

Drunk as a dog.
And you talk like a dog, too.

Hey! What did you say?

Now barking like a dog.

If you drink yourself to death,

what good will you be
when the Burmese come?

There you go.

Chan! They're back from Ayutthaya.

Ayutthaya has given us no cannons.

They would not help us.
They've given us nothing.

They're afraid that if Bang Rajan falls,
the Burmese will have more artillery.

Anyway, you did your best.

Well, if it's like that, we're on our own...

even more so than before.

I think we should build
lookouts in the trees.

Man them 24 hours a day.

It'd be like expanding the village wall.

We'll have more time to prepare
if we see them coming.

Stupid idea.

Why wait? Better we attack them

and burn their bases to the ground

than sitting here and waiting for them.

I agree with Tong-Menn.

You don't know what you're talking about.

If we do it this way...

we'll be safer than before.

Surely you can see that.

Hand it over.

Let me take this watch.

Inn!

Don't go! You'll all die, for sure!

- You'll all die, for sure!
- Plang!

I'm not staying here any longer!

- No way!
- Plang!

- Let me go!
- Plang!

- Plang!
- Let me go!

Plang, calm down!

This is Inn, your friend!

- I'm still alive. It's okay.
- Still alive...

but you're going to die!
I won't let my family die here.

I'm going to move us somewhere else.
Can't you see? The Burmese are coming.

Hurry up, Taeng-Onn.

The abbot's given us this medicine.

He should get better by tomorrow morning.
Don't worry, Mali.

He's been talking about
fleeing to Ayutthaya for days now.

If he does, I'll have to go with him.

I can't leave him alone.

Open the gates!

Is that you, Chan?

Come in. Have something to eat and drink.

I didn't wake you?

Some nights, I don't sleep at all.

I used to do the night watch

like you're doing now.

Chan.

That day

when you were talking about
asking Ayutthaya for cannons...

I felt good
we had such a strong leader as you.

I even dreamed of firing
those cannons myself

at the damned Burmese.

Chan.

If only we had those cannons,
things would be so much easier.

I think I need to be stricter
with the villagers.

What do you say?

I made you the leader.

Do what you must.

Stop!

We've brought you
some blankets for the journey.

Have a safe trip.

Your boy will be all grown up
next time we meet.

Thanks. You're good friends.

Good luck!

Taeng-Onn, you scared me.

Why are you following me?

First promise me you won't tell anybody.

- I promise.
- I want you to teach me how to fight.

I thought you said
I'm no good with my sword.

What changed your mind?

Are you gonna teach me or not?

Ask me nicely first.

Go on.

"Please, Meuang."

"Please, Meuang."

"Please, Meuang."
Yuck. This makes my skin crawl.

Changed my mind.
I don't want to learn now.

Your wrists are too small.
Your hands as soft as a baby's bottom.

You're too weak to hold a sword.

You're better off in the kitchen, cooking.

Stop looking down on me.

Just kidding.

I... uh...

just wanted to say

that you're pretty.

Too pretty to be killing anybody.

If you're afraid the Burmese
will cut your throat,

I'll protect you.

I'll make sure you won't
even get the tiniest scratch.

I'll even...

lay down my life for you.

Time to go.

I meant what I said.

- Hey! Where are you going?
- Back home.

But that's my house.

Idiot!

Why are you here at this hour?

We need something sacred from you.

To protect us during battle.

Well, I don't have
anything like that here.

Sacred things,
they only exist in your mind.

If it's all the same, could we please
have the cloth upon which you sit?

Tong-Menn.

Drunk as a skunk all day.

Take this.

It's from the monks to bring us good luck.

It'll protect you from the enemy
and your own foolhardiness.

Take it.

Tie it around your arm like Chan did,
then no weapon can pierce your skin.

Take it.

Hey!

You fool!

- What did you hit me for?
- It didn't break your skin.

You were right! No weapon can
pierce your skin. It just makes a lump.

Idiot!

Better you steal some armor
from the Burmese.

I've seen thousands of men
wearing that cloth you've got on.

Thousands of dead men!

See these banana trees?

Let's say they're the Burmese.

This is what I'm going to do to them.

Take this!

Hey!

What the hell are you doing?

You're destroying all the banana trees!

I want to be able to take care of myself
whatever happens.

I want to survive.

So, do you really know how to fight?

Sure. I've been secretly
watching the men practice.

You think you're gonna get good that way?

Go back inside.
Into the kitchen. I'm hungry.

What do you think, my friend?

There's enough food to go around.

But it won't last.

We need to stock up.

I heard the villagers
from Ban Krab talking.

They said when they fled, their rice
was almost ready for harvesting.

It'd be ready by now.

Stop.

You look after the harvesting.

We'll keep lookout around the perimeter.

Sa! You're tired. Rest.

Go.

Sa, what's wrong with you?

Are you pregnant?

Quick.

Does your husband know?

Not yet.

I don't want my family...

to end up like Mali's.

Where's my wife?

She fainted. She's over there.

I don't want Inn to worry about me.

But...

Meuang said you fainted.

Or are you just lazy?

Pretending to faint
so you can sit and gossip with Taeng-Onn.

What?

Your wife fainted
and then you speak like that to her!

In that case, you can take a rest.

And I'll harvest in your place!

- I'll harvest in your place!
- There's no need!

Inn. Meuang.

Tong-Menn! How did you get here?

I got lost for a while,
but I found my way here.

And how did you folks get here?

The same way you did.

Chan.

Where have you been?

Seeing the Burmese!
They've taken prisoners, too.

Where? How many?

About 30 soldiers.
They've taken 20 prisoners.

They're passing through the next field.

What should we do?
We haven't finished the harvest!

Wait for them all to get to the hill.

Then I'll give the order. Kill them all.

If we don't, we'll never get
to harvest the rest of the rice.

Inn, go to the hill.

You, there.

The rest come with me.

Quickly!

Quick! Don't dawdle!

Walk faster!

Faster. Faster.

Walk faster.

Faster.

Don't dawdle!

Quick.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Walk faster!

Faster.

Wait for Chan's order.

Walk quickly.

I can't go on.

Get up right now! Let's go!

Get up. Quick.

- Tong-Menn! Come back!
- Fire!

Come back!

Hey!

Follow them. Quick!

Quickly!

Quick! Somebody help Ee!

- Don't you die on me.
- Ee, open your eyes!

Ee...

- Help him. Ee...
- Tong-Menn!

- Don't die.
- Open your eyes, Ee.

- Ee.
- Open your eyes!

Ee.

Ee.

- Open your eyes!
- Ee.

Ee.

Ee.

Are you still there, Ee?

- Ee.
- You men.

Take Tong-Menn and lock him up.

Ee.

Hey.

Are you angry that Chan
has put Tong-Menn in jail?

I see both sides.

As far as I'm concerned,
the only enemy is the Burmese.

Quick!

Work quickly.

Faster.

Quickly.

Don't be lazy.

Quickly!

Hey! Taeng-Onn.

What are you doing out at this time?

I have something to tell you, Inn.

I didn't mean to wake you.

Go back to sleep.

I'm awake now.
I'll get some water for you.

You don't have to. I'll do it myself.

But I always do it for you.

You don't have to do anything now.

You don't have to get the water.

You don't have to pound the rice either.

I'll do all your tasks now.

The neighbors will say

I don't look after my husband.

Taeng-Onn told me everything.

It sobered me right up.

I'm so happy.

If it's a boy, I'll have him ordained.

Why didn't you tell me?

It's a sin to keep secrets
from your husband.

Hey, just kidding. Don't get upset.

Sa. Sa.

Why are you crying?

Is there something else?

I saw Mali and her baby in wartime.

Her husband was so distracted with worry
that he got injured in battle.

I don't want to see that happen to you.

I don't want to see you die.

Go to sleep.

We can learn from Mali's situation.

We'll never be like them, ever.

Now I understand what Tong-Menn meant.

We can't wait for the Burmese.

We have to take the fight to them.

The last time I was on watch,

I saw a group of Burmese deserters
coming downstream.

It gave me an idea.
The way to attack them is by water.

If everybody agrees, then let's do it.

But who's going to keep lookout here?

Sing.

You can man the watch.

- Why me?
- We can't take a big group, Sing.

Some of us have to stay.

You stay back too, Meuang.

- Stay and protect the village.
- But Inn, I want to go too.

You can't. Chan will notice
if too many of us are gone.

Let's go.

Tonight we slit the throat
of a Burmese general!

Let's go!

Where are you going?

We're fleeing the Burmese.
We're heading to Bang Rajan.

Is this the right way?

Go straight ahead.

There'll be someone to tell you the way.

Wait!

What's inside your cart?

Don't let him get away!

Kill them!

Don't let him get away!

Run!

Go!

Retreat!

Don't let them get away!

Let me out! Chan!

Go. Quick.

Kill them all!

They're coming from behind.

Now! Everyone!

Inn! Inn?

Let me out!

Let me out!

Quick. Get inside.

Hurry.

Kaew!

Let me out!

Let me go.

Go away!

Block them! They're coming. Get in here!

Let me out, Chan.

Chan.

Taeng-Onn!

Answer me this. It was your watch.

How the hell could the Burmese
get into the village?

Why are you accusing Inn?

You can see he's injured.

That's enough, Meuang.

It's my fault.

I left my post.

I took a group to kill
the Burmese General at their camp.

I'm beyond forgiveness.

I accept whatever punishment you see fit.

- Cut off his head.
- No!

Yes! He deserves to die.

I can't allow it.

Inn did what he thought was right.

He risked his life to try
to kill the Burmese General.

Think about it. Anyone else
here brave enough to try that?

You're all hiding here.

Inn. You know yourself you were wrong.

Make it your first and last mistake.

What?

Look at what we've lost.
That's all he gets? A reprimand?

So cut his head off yourself.

Inn! You killed my son!

Sa!

Sa!

Sa!

Sa!

Sa!

Inn.

Sa.

I was wrong to leave you.

Wrong to leave my watch.

Wrong to lead my friends to their deaths.

I swear...

I'll make up for all my mistakes.

I've heard the Burmese have
destroyed everything but Ayutthaya.

Is Ayutthaya going to help us?

If they don't, we should join the Burmese.

Being a Burmese slave
is better than being dead.

I've never seen you up here before.

I've got something to tell you.

The villagers are leaving in droves.

Women, children,

everybody.

Tong-Menn.

Why did you choose to live here?

I didn't.

I got drunk one day and fell asleep
in the back of somebody's cart.

When I woke up, I was here.

Sometimes I wish I were like you.

Just keep going.

No responsibilities.

The truth is I should just
go back and live in the jungle.

I wouldn't have to be responsible
for the lives of others.

Chan.

What I wanted to tell you
was you've done all that you could.

Those of us left
know it's a fight to the death.

We don't know when we'll die.

All we know is what's here and now.

Meuang.

I used to think
only my father worried about me.

But then I saw you
risk your life to save me.

Now I know...

you care about me as well.

You know? When I first came to Bang Rajan,

I liked to visit this place.

I'd sit and think about

starting a family here.

So what do you think, Taeng-Onn?
Will you come and live with me?

Inn,

are you planning to protect your family
with that little bow?

It's for our child to play with.

How old will he be
when he starts playing with that?

One day,
I'll teach him to use it to protect you.

Taen. Maybe you should leave
for Ayutthaya while you still can.

I'm going to stay here.

I'm not going anywhere.

Chan, look at my wounds.

I'd probably die before I got anywhere.

If I stay here,

do you think somebody like me
can be of any use?

Lots of people have gone.

We've hardly got any fighters left.

What's your plan, Chan?

Ayutthaya wouldn't help,
so I've come along instead.

I've brought plans.
We can make our own cannons.

ROYAL CANON - LENGTH 4.5 METERS

There's not enough metal around here.

Hey, you people!
Help get the armor off the cart.

Come on! Stronger!

Give me a hand.

Fire!

Bang Rajan has defeated
our battalion yet again.

If we don't destroy them now
before more join them,

they'll keep coming at us from the rear.

We'll be fighting on two fronts.

Prepare arms. Get ready.

We'll go to Wisetchaichan Camp.

General Naymeo! General Naymeo!

Our troops on the northern front
are waiting for us at Ayutthaya.

But we can't get past this...

damned village.

What's the problem, Mang-Changai?

What are you afraid of? Keep dragging it!

Go on.

Bring whoever is in charge to me!

Suki, you're in charge of the Mon slaves,
aren't you?

You're a brave man.

You're not worried about losing your head?

I would say a golden Buddha
is more valuable

than a few pieces of fallen wood, sir.

If you, General Naymeo,

are not satisfied
with this golden offering,

then I suppose I must lose my head.

But who else could bring

such an offering to you, General?

Do you think you're capable of doing

what Mang-Changai cannot?

Huh?

Mang-Changai says

he can't get past Bang Rajan

because of their powerful monk.

What would you do?

Kill the monk.

Bring me just the women and children.

Yes, sir.

The Burmese did this.

They took all the women
and children and... and...

Wait for me here.

Daeng! Go and get Chan!

I'm gonna kill them all
in this life and the next!

I will kill you!

Help me bring them down.

- Take them home to perform the rites.
- No need.

- Who are these two?
- My own wife and child.

I came too late.

You know what?

Every time I attacked the Burmese,
I hoped to find my wife and child.

What kind of man could do such evil things

and then proudly display his cruelty?

I put this together for you.

You know how to do that too?

I used to have a family myself.

Don't you think I know
how to pay respects to the dead?

Chan.

Tong-Menn.

Your families are at peace now.

It's those of us still in this world
who are suffering.

But we don't have to suffer forever.

You must teach the villagers
to be strong and focused.

Believe me.

Concentration leads to a clear mind.

Are you looking for trouble?

Idiots!

I'm going to cut you into pieces.

Stop!

Burmese soldiers! We have come here
to suppress resistance

and take the capital city,

not to ravage and murder the villagers
like a bunch of thieves!

Coward!

Because of weak thinking like that,

you let this rabble
grow stronger every day!

The guns are cracked!

Inn.

If there really is a next life...

I want to come back as your wife.

Whether our child

is a boy or girl, may it be our child
in our next life as well.

Hey!

Fire!

- Tong-Menn.
- Hey, Tong-Menn.

Kill them!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Inn!

Taeng-Onn!

Taeng-Onn! Taeng-Onn!

Inn!

Inn.

If there really is a next life...

I want to come back as your wife.

Whether our child is a boy or girl,

may it be our child
in our next life as well.

Is he using some kind of magic?

Let's see if it works.

If we can't pierce through them,
pound them over the head!

Get ready!

Fire!

So few men, and yet you see

they're not afraid
to sacrifice their lives

to defend the honor of their homeland.

Their hearts are indeed brave.

If all the people of this country...

have hearts like those
of the Bang Rajan villagers,

the war on Ayutthaya

will be hard-won indeed.
