All language subtitles for Queens of Langkasuka (2008)

400 years ago,

Queen Hijau ruled Langkasuka
with formidable strength.

But neighboring states,
rebel groups

and marauding bands of pirates

were determined on conquering
her wealthy territory.

In 1593,

a Dutch weapon master
Janis Bree traveled to Langkasuka

with his Chinese apprentice,
the genius inventor called Lim Kium.

They were delivering
the Great Cannons to Queen Hijau

to be used to defend
her country.

But the Dutch vessel was hijacked
by pirates led by Black Raven,

a ruthless bandit who has
mastered Du Lum sorcery.

Black Raven tried unsuccessfully
to steal the Great Cannons.

The ship was blown to bits
and Janis Bree was killed.

The cannons sunk into
the depths of the sea.

LEGEND OF
THE TSUNAMI WARRIOR

Kium.

Let me try it.

No.

You're too young.

That's even better,
because I'm light.

I can take off with no trouble.

I won't risk it.

If something happens to you,
Anjar would kill me.

Your uncle is scarier
than a shark.

Come on kids,
help me get this thing up.

Whoa!

Look, I'm flying!

That's awesome!

Look! A bird
with a broken wing!

Grow some feathers
if you want to fly!

Today I have a new invention
to show you kids.

What is it?

I call them...

frog feet.

Frog feet?

Yes, I believe this
new invention of mine

will help you swim
like a real fish.

Follow me if you want to try.

Bintang, what's wrong?

Here.

I went down to the seafloor
to get it for you.

Presenting the honorable
envoys from Japan.

Jarang.
What are you doing here?

Father.

I won the contest

and was promoted to be
the royal bodyguard.

You've been in Ayutthaya
too long.

You're still young,
but you're having such a bright career.

If your mother were here
she would be so proud.

For me, to serve Langkasuka
is the greatest honor of my life.

I'm sure you feel the same.

Presenting the honorable
envoys from Aden.

Get the princesses out!

- Salem!
- Bilung!

Uncle Anjar,
where are we going?

What's that sound?

Pari, hurry up.

Come.

Anjar.

Pari, pay respects
to the Master.

Is this Arus's son?

His name is Pari.

- Arus and his wife...
- I know.

Why did you bring him here?

To ask you to train him
in the arts of Du Lum.

The boy has the same
quality as you.

He was born on the sea.

He can speak
through his stomach.

Even if he could speak with
his feet it'd be pointless.

Du Lum wizardry isn't meant
for violent killing.

But somebody must
stop Black Raven.

He's been terrorizing the sea
people for far too long.

You kill one Black Raven

only to create
another Black Raven.

- But...
- Anjar...

forget about revenge.

Teach him to love, not to hate.

Just train him
in the basic Du Lum

to help him get by
as a fisherman.

Master...

What?

I heard something howling.

It's the howl of darkness.

The howl of darkness?

Yes.

If you practice Du Lum
with the fire of hatred,

darkness will scream
inside your soul.

If White Ray refuses
to teach you,

I'll do it myself.

But the old man said
that practicing Du Lum

will condemn me
to hear the howl of darkness.

Pari, you'll learn
the virtuous arts of Du Lum.

You'll need it
to fight the evil man.

Who's he?

Black Raven.

We're lucky to have stopped
the poison from spreading.

But the scar on his face...

That's not a problem,

as long as he lives.

The queen has arrived!

Don't worry, Lord Jaring.

This country is indebted

to your son's courage.

I won't let his sacrifice
go to waste.

Prince Rawai will pay
for this dearly.

Du Lum sorcery consists
of three major levels

and nine sublevels.

The first three levels
I'm going to teach you

will help you distinguish
different sounds

made by different
kinds of fish.

You'll be able to read
the weather,

the temperature, the humidity,

the water currents
and the wind.

You'll sense the connection between
the fish and the climate.

And you'll read the minds
of fish.

You'll be able to predict
the currents,

and to locate schools of fish.

The fish will also tell you
when the rain is coming.

In the next three levels,

you'll be able to produce
a special sound of Du Lum

that can command fish to
do what you want them to,

even to attack your enemy.

Your mind will connect
with that of the fish.

But to communicate
with all sea creatures,

you have to be trained
in the advanced techniques.

Only Master White Ray
can teach you that.

A school of Lamachin fish
is over there.

Mm-hmm.

Bintang...

this is for you.

Pari, thank you
for saving me back there.

They almost got me.

Did you build
this strange boat?

Yes, and those strange
weapons too.

We secretly built this boat
a while back.

To ambush and kill
Black Raven's pirates.

But too bad we still
can't get close

to the man himself.

Let me join you.

One day I'll get rid of
all these sea gypsy pests!

Calm down.

We can shoot two birds
with one stone.

What's your plan, Prince?

Even though we still can't
retrieve the Great Cannons...

we can strengthen the army

by gathering all pirates
of the sea and making them our allies.

Our plan will become
much easier.

And why do you think
the pirates

would want to work with us?

Apparently...

Langkasuka is not capable
of building a cannon

of great firepower.

We must find a new cannon
master as soon as possible.

Why act in such haste?

We have no wars to fight.

Haji Kadir,

as long as Prince Rawai
is still alive,

we cannot let our guard down.

I can't believe we
wouldn't be able to find

a skilled cannon master
in our great kingdom.

Tuk Rahman, do you have
something to say?

The Chinese apprentice of
the cannon master Janis Bree

lives in Langkasuka.

Really?

What's his name?

Lim Kium.

Where did you get
this information?

A few days ago I took
the Dutch envoy out for drinks.

He got drunk and told me

that he was a survivor
from when the pirates hijacked

the Dutch vessel that carried
the Great Cannons.

Another survivor is Lim Kium.

The envoy said he's now
living in the fishing village of Ledah.

Find this Lim Kium.

If he's working for
the rebels, kill him.

Or if he refuses to join us,
kill him anyway.

Ungu, I'm starting to fear
for your future husband.

What beautiful skill!

You certainly live up
to your reputation.

Who are you to dare enter
the royal grounds?

I'm a guest of your queen.

And you return our hospitality

by disrupting my practice.

Please forgive me.

Who are you?

I am Abdul Kafur Mohaidin.

The Prince of Pahang.

Ungu.

You're due to be engaged
in two days,

and you will be
married by next year.

No man would want a wife
who carries a crossbow around.

As if I'm dying to get married.

The Prince of Pahang
has arrived.

I fear that he'll change his
mind when he meets you.

He's already met Ungu.

And I've already
chased him away.

That's not funny, Ungu.

Langkasuka has no allies,

and Pahang's friendship
is very important to us.

That's it?

That's why you have
to marry me off?

Lord Nakorn Srithammarat

and the Sultan of Songkhla
are sizing us up and are ready to invade.

And Prince Rawai

is ganging up with Black Raven
and the pirates.

We're surrounded by enemies.

Do you really
need more reasons?

Congratulations,
Lord Vandeveer.

Your VOC Company
at Battavia is expanding

its trade activity very fast.

I am very grateful
for Langkasuka's help,

but indeed, the regional trade

will see an even brighter
future if the Dutch

would enjoy the right
as sole trader.

Sir Vandeveer,

a meal wouldn't
be so appetizing

if you ate it alone, would it?

The envoy.

I hope you find your room
comfortable.

It is very comfortable indeed.

Thank you for your hospitality,
Princess Biru.

This is Miss Lim,

the daughter of a merchant
in Guang Zhou.

She traveled with me
from China.

Miss Lim.

Is this your first trip
to Langkasuka?

Yes, Your Majesty.

I came with the envoy
to look for my brother.

Your brother lives here?

Yes.

He's been living here
for several years.

His name is Lim Kium.

Lim Kium, Janis Bree's
apprentice?

Yes.

I've promised my mother

to bring him back home with me.

If I can't find him,
I can't go back to face her.

We also want to meet
your brother.

Can you take us to him?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Langkasuka has found the paths
to the cannon expert.

More than one person
actually survived the attack,

like you expected.

Mmm.

What's more important
is the fact that

Langkasuka is forming
an alliance with Pahang.

When the two kingdoms
are united,

our job will be more difficult.

It's time

we show them the strength
of our own friends.

Who do you think should
carry out the mission?

The Japanese pirates.

The Wako.

Prince, get out of here!

Pari,

now I belong to you.

May I present a gift
from Shogun Tokugawa?

Presenting Lord Farus Mogul,

the envoy from Songkhla.

This is a gift
from our Sultan Suleiman.

Presenting Lord Harid Fami,

the envoy from Jahor.

Search the ship.

I'll look inside.

Anjar!

Kium!

Whoo!

Go!

- Hey, where you going?
- Go!

- Go down!
- All right.

Move!

Go!

Stop!

Or the old man dies!

Lim, what does this cannibal
want from me?

The cannons.

Never!
Light it!

Light it now!

Master!

Go!

Lim, go.
Go.

Master!

Kium.

Bintang!

Bintang!
Bintang!

Please accept my apology.

I've sent Biru and Ungu

on an urgent mission.

So they're not here
to say farewell to you.

I'll inform you without delay

when we've set the date
of the wedding.

Thank you for your kindness.

The monsoon season
is approaching.

I need to head home.

Farewell, Your Majesty.

I'd like to express
my gratitude for your son's bravery.

Thank you for your kindness.

A gypsy warrior?

You shouldn't have dragged
innocent people into this mess.

Anyway, thanks to you,

I've had the good chance
to taste the women from your village.

I must say they all
taste rather nice.

A fearless fighter?

You'll meet your wife in hell!

There's only one injured man
in the whole village.

And those dead bodies
don't look like the natives.

Let Miss Kium take a look.

Pari.

All these years

I've only wanted to avenge

my master's death.

I never thought my arrogance
would bring death

to my brothers in the village.

I don't have the heart

to think about
anything else now.

You have my sympathy,
Master Lim.

Their deaths won't be in vain

if you agree to help
us build a cannon.

In the past many years,

I have always helped you

by ambushing
Black Raven pirates.

I don't want any more blood
on my hands than I already have.

Do I have a choice?

Think about it carefully.

If you refuse,

I'll have to ask you
to go back to China with your sister.

What a catch!

Princesses, you should
be honored

that I'm here to escort you.

Take them to the ship.

Quick!

Take them away.

Throw them in jail!

Kium.
Kium.

Who are you?

I'm Jarang from Langkasuka.

Thank you.

You are?

Lord Jarang.

We have to go, Princesses!

Pari, run!

They won't kill me.
Save the others first.

Quick!

- We have to run, Princess.
- Ungu!

This way.

- Princess, please hurry up.
- And Ungu?

You have to go now,
we don't have time!

My wife's poisoned dart
failed to kill you.

Now I'm going to kill you
with my own hands!

Lord Jarang.

Black Raven!

Ungu!

We've lost her.

I'm not going to lose you too!

There!
Shoot him!

The master is alive.

It's a pity.

What?

It's a pity
that your cheerful smile

has disappeared.

10 years ago you had
a sparkle in your eyes.

Now it's completely gone.

Pari,

hatred echoes to eternity.

I can't help it.

They killed everyone I loved.

Had you not killed their men,

they wouldn't have come
after your woman.

Forgive.

Let the cycle end at you,

and you'll understand
the impermanence of life.

Forgiveness won't give me back

my father, my mother,
Uncle Anjar

and my wife.

But would revenge?

Would it bring back the lives

of those people?

Where is this place?

Ray Island, my home.

Where do you
think you're going?

Back home to Langkasuka.

You won't be going anywhere
for quite a while.

Why not?

Because the fish will make
a meal out of you.

The monsoon season's here...
terrible winds and waves.

It's suicide sailing
in this weather.

Biru.

Are you injured?

I'm fine.

But Ungu...

What happened to her?

I failed to protect
the princess.

Please take my life
as a punishment.

I believe you did your best.

In fact, Langkasuka is even
more indebted to you.

I'll drag out
this villainous spy

who had a hand
in my sister's death!

Who are you?
What are you doing here?

And who are you?
What are you doing here?

I'm Pari.

I'm Black Ray.

Black Ray?

What are you to White Ray?

He's locked me up
in the dark...

even though he and I
are no different.

Is he your master?

He refuses to teach me.

He said my heart
is full of hatred.

The more hatred, the better.

I'll be your master
if he doesn't want to.

That's what hatred can do.

I believe you have the answer
I want to hear.

You seem to love
your sister very much.

Remember...

you have until the end
of the monsoon season.

Very good.

Fix your breath at your stomach

and spread it
through your body.

Pari...

you're the most gifted
of all my pupils.

The more hatred in your heart,

the faster you'll learn.

Bintang.

Stop it, Pari!

Let go of me!

Pari!!

The dark force
has gotten to you.

You must remember
your happy thoughts.

Don't hold it against him.

The phases of the tide

affect the minds
of Du Lum wizards.

When the tide ebbs,

the mind is prone
to dark influences.

Lust becomes ungovernable.

So Du Lum is an art
of the devil.

I'll give it up.

All knowledge
is a double-edged sword.

You must learn
to use it wisely.

Pari...

if you continue to
learn from Black Ray,

you'll soon turn into
another Black Raven,

or even Black Ray himself.

Why did you lock Black Ray up?

Black Ray committed
so many heinous crimes,

I couldn't let him
walk around freely.

What did he do?

Black Ray was
a skilled fighter.

He was made the war
minister by the palace,

but he secretly had an affair with one
of the king's consorts.

One night Black Ray
used Prince Bima's dagger

to kill the king.

That cleared the path

for Prince Rawai
to become king.

I swear I'll kill him
with his own dagger.

Hurry up!

Did you do it on purpose?

Bima, I don't want to hurt you.

So you're White Ray.

Even the Master fell under
the dark force of Du Lum.

Ungu, I still owe
you an apology about the other day.

You stole my first kiss anyway.

And you didn't even ask
for my permission.

I just wanted to...

Don't worry.
I'm all right now.

This is why I had to build
the cave to lock myself up.

Everybody who practices
Du Lum has his weakness.

It's a desire buried
deep inside your soul.

If you can't control it,
you'll fall into the dark side.

Every time I feel the dark
force taking hold of me,

I use a Du Lum spell
to squeeze myself

through a crack and imprison
myself in the cave.

I'll come out only when I feel

my good senses have returned.

Pari, you leave me
with no choice.

Tomorrow,

I'll start teaching you
the art of white Du Lum.

Thank you, Master.

What's your excuse now?

If you kill me,
you'll lose everything.

Let my sister go,

then I'll help you.

Move!

Hey!

I don't think

you're in a position
to negotiate.

You know what will happen
to your sister

if your cannon
doesn't work properly?

Wait!

Let her go.

My cannon will be no match for

the Great Cannons built
by Janis Bree anyway.

Take her away!

Him too!

I think we have to hurry up
and find our master.

The art of Du Lum

is about uniting the force
of men with that of fish.

Every living creature is born
with great desires.

For fish, it is food.

For men... lust, power,

hatred, greed

and vengeance.

Black Raven Island
has only one entrance,

a narrow channel hidden
by walls of rocks.

I think we can turn this
into our advantage.

If they have only one
entrance, we can trap them.

Their fortress will
become their own prison.

But first we must send someone

to rescue Lim Kium
and his sister.

Prepare a special force.

We'll attack them as soon
as the monsoon winds stop blowing.

Yes, Your Majesty.

If we work together,

we can easily conquer
Langkasuka.

When do you plan to attack?

It will take some time
to assemble

the mercenaries from Makassar.

We'll prepare our men during
this monsoon season.

When the 10th month arrives
we'll move to attack them.

I've been dreaming of those Langkasuka
beauties for so long.

We Javanese

may be small in number,

but our fighters
are very skilled.

I hope you'll cut us
a fair deal.

Don't worry about that.

To the glory of the pirates!

To the glory of the pirates!

The two cannons I built

are dedicated to Langkasuka.

The kingdom of Bahadusa has
been of great help to us,

so I built the best cannons
there are as a gift

to Her Majesty
the king's daughter

in order to defend her kingdom.

Remember, Lim Kium,

being able to show appreciation

is a very important thing.

Cannon A is designed

to have a great firing range...

while Cannon B's power

is more devastating.

They're both amazing,
my master.

No, they're not.

Imagine what would happen

if you combined the strength
of these two cannons.

Master!

When he completes
the sixth level of Du Lum,

my mission is complete too.

If he wants to study further,

he has to do it himself.

I haven't seen
the old man for days.

It's time for us to leave.

Our time on this island

has been so peaceful,

so many good memories.

I wish we could remain
here forever.

Everyone must think I'm dead.

As long as I live...

you'll always be alive
in my heart.

Ungu, let me take you home.

You're smiling.

I've never seen
you smile before.

Lord Jaring
has left for Pahang.

Good.

He'll convince
the Prince of Pahang

to understand our situation.

I come to bid farewell.

I'll lead 29 men

to attack Black Raven
Island tomorrow night.

May you have the best of luck.

Our kingdom relies on you.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

I'll defend Langkasuka
until my last breath.

Lord Jarang.

Take care of yourself.

The cannon is finished.

What else will you invent
to help them kill people?

Don't look at me like that.

I have no choice.

But I do.

I don't think Langkasuka

has the ability to build
a cannon like this.

I agree.

And if they're building one,

our spy would already
have reported to us.

Very well.

Goodbye, brother.

Go plant
the explosives outside.

Let's move!

Go!

Go look!

My sister!

Master Kium.

Kium.
We must hurry.

Hey!

Pari!
Stop!

Pari! Stop!

Pari, I love you!

I love you.

Princess Ungu!

- Princess?
- We'll talk later.

Let's get out of here.

Go look!

Shoot him!

We'll die here together!

Don't!

Pari, watch out!

Fire!

- Get down, Princess!
- Pari!

Pari!
Pari!

Pari!

Pari! Pari!

Pari.

Master.

Father.

My son.

I'll call you Rawai.

You're wounded.

Are you all right?

Just a scratch.

It's nowhere near my heart.

Our attack

has caused major harm
to the enemy.

But we...

also lost many
of our skilled warriors.

War is all about loss.

The pirates have installed powerful
cannons on their ships.

We'll face another
ruthless attack.

There are two more people

who sacrificed their lives
for Langkasuka.

I won't let the deaths of Pari

and my sister

mean nothing.

We should move up the wedding

between Princess Ungu
and the Prince of Pahang.

I agree.

We need Pahang's army.

We should send
the princess to Pahang

as soon as Lord Jaring returns.

But Ungu...

What's the problem?

I'm ready for the wedding.

Let the cycle end at you,

and you'll understand
the impermanence of life.

Hurry up!

Pahang must be busy preparing
for the wedding.

He won't be able to send
reinforcements.

I won't give him
a second chance.

Tell our men
to leave the island

and go meet our pirate
friends at Purao Payang.

And tell them...

my father and I will bring
a special gift to them.

Hurry up.

Father.

Set sail.

After the wedding,

Ungu will return
with the Pahang Army.

Do you think they'll make
it back in time?

I believe the two cannons
we're building

will be able to hold off
the enemy for a while.

But what I fear is...

What?

I fear that the pirates
will try to retrieve

my master's Great Cannons
from the sea.

We do not know for sure.

We shouldn't panic.

But we shouldn't
underestimate them either.

I've figured out a strategy

to ward off their war fleet.

But I'll have to ask
you to provide me

with a group of soldiers.

Father.
Be careful.

My cannons...

will be as formidable as my
master's Great Cannons.

The pirate fleet is now
approaching the city walls.

Lord Jarang!

Their army far outnumbers ours.

We have to keep them at bay.

We can't let them
land on shore.

Cannon staff ready!

Ready the cannons!

Pirates, prepare to go
to shore!

Fire!

Double the strength.

Aim higher!

Fire!

Signal the Mahalalo fleet
to start firing.

Fire!

Are Lim Kium's cannons ready?

Get a move on!

Together!

Watch out.

Be careful!

Fire back!

Hold your positions.

Don't retreat!

At your right!

Hurry up!

Faster!

Put the cannon into position!

Ready!

Fire!

Look at that!

We'll get them!

I'll leave this to you.

I have to prepare
my new weapons.

Lim Kium is truly
a genius inventor.

Keep firing.

Don't let them regroup.

- Put your weapon down!
- Queen Hijau!

What's wrong with you?

Tuk Rahman!

Queen Hijau, tell your men
to stop firing.

If they don't, you're dead.

So you're the traitor.

How could you?

I do it for my nephew Rawai.

I'll call you Rawai.

How's that?

Princess Biru,

put your sword down.
Now!

Queen, tell your men to stop
firing the cannons.

Do it now!

I said do it!

I'm ready to sacrifice
myself for this land.

Kill me!

Hijau!

If you want to die so much,
you'll get your wish.

Ungu,

Langkasuka depends on you now.

Move!

Kill them all!

- Fire!
- Stop!

Soldiers!

So you're the traitor?

Lord Jarang!

Keep firing!
Don't worry about me!

Fire!

The Great Cannons!

Soldiers, we have to move fast!

The Great Cannons!

Queen Hijau!

For Rawai, my nephew.

No!

- Sister!
- Queen Hijau!

Don't worry about me.

Stop them.

Lord Jarang.

Soldiers, at your stations!

God save the queen!

Keep firing!

Winged warriors,
come fly with me.

- Give me the gun.
- Here it is.

Fire!

For Langkasuka.

Fire!

Pari.
Pari!

Finally you've become
a Du Lum master.

Father!
Father!

Please forgive me.

I'm here to end it,
not to harm anyone.

Let it all end with you.

And you'll understand
the impermanence of life.

Long live the queen!

When you learn to let go
of everything...

love, hatred, vengeance...

an empty mind will unite you

as one with the sea.
