NEAR THE END OF WORLD WAR II

A MOUNTAIN RANGE IN THUNGSONG DISTRICT, NAKHON SI THAMMARAT

Don't worry.

It's just a fallen tree.

Dui,

hit it.

It's The Thai Thieves Gang!

Pretty badass, huh?

That's gotta hurt.

Damn, that felt good.

Jong, look out!

Catch them!

Fire! Surround them!

Yada, duck!

Seize their supplies and hand it all out to the folks.

And take these weapons back to our base.

Gang, back to base!

GOLD RUSH GANG

KO-WAH THUNGSONG BASE

Ko, is my crab omelet ready yet?

Crab, my ass! You'll eat what you're given.

How about my balls omelet?

Yeah, I'll take one.

Yada, get this to those idiots.

-Thanks. -Here.

What am I, their cook?

Jong, try this. It's tasty.

-Is it? -Yeah.

Here comes your turmeric fried fish.

What kind of fish is this?

It's tender flesh like this.

The chicken's burning.

Quit playing that. Hello?

Ignore me then.

Mont, you fucking jackass!

Stop playing with the dynamite! You'll kill us all!

No need to rush. It's all yours.

You survived knives and bullets. You can't die from choking on a fish bone.

Fish bones won't finish him off,

but women will.

Says who? More like I'll finish them off.

Sure, being so cute.

Hey, Dum.

Try not to succumb to your wound, man.

What wound, Mont?

I didn't get shot.

Your wound right here.

Mont.

-Go away! -He's built, but he can't flirt.

-Mont! -Dumbass.

A professional pain in the ass.

Dum, all those tattoos are making me dizzy.

It's my business. Leave me alone, Ko.

Wiggling your nipples, huh?

That's basic.

How about this, Dum?

Check it out.

It's wiggling too.

Enough, my boy. Calm down. Sleep.

-Let me see too. -No, Jong.

You don't deserve a peek at my dick.

-Damn it. -Damn. What the fuck, Mont? You scared me.

We have something fun to do.

What is this? What does the Japanese writing mean?

It's a plan to transport goods by train from Thailand to Malaya,

ending in Singapore.

Plus a security plan for the supply train convoy

in six months, Ko.

What is this red mark?

It says,

"This train will carry important cargo."

HAT YAI, SONGKHLA

Yikes! The Japanese will transport weed?

No!

Then what is it?

No idea.

Seriously?

What a waste of time then.

Important cargo?

What could it be?

POLICE MAJOR GENERAL LUANG ARUNPIWAT

Luang Arunpiwat.

This is our best chance to finish off the Japanese.

Whatever they're transporting,

we must find out the exact day and time when the train will pass Khaochumthong.

I heard

some Japanese troops are retreating from Burma

after failing to hold off the British.

The Japanese are losing the war.

I think they're pulling all troops back to HQ in Singapore.

If it's just a withdrawal,

why the tight security?

It might be a prominent figure or some valuable treasure onboard.

The point is

we're gonna teach them not to trample on other people's land.

Cool speech.

All right, listen.

We'll go undercover into the town of Nakhon to gather intel.

Several of these documents were signed by Luang Arunpiwat,

the new police commander.

He must surely know about this.

THE THIRD ARMY HQ POST OFFICE, NAKHON SI THAMMARAT

We have examined the map of the country.

We can see that our coastal territory has increased by at least 1,500 miles.

There's also a large population living along the coast.

This is the first reason.

The second reason is that the sea is our precious treasure.

The third reason is that

the lower sea is often the route enemies choose to invade the country,

as they view it as a convenient means of transportation,

and ships are suitable vehicles for such an operation.

With these three reasons…

They wouldn't be this wealthy without colluding with the Japanese.

I hate corrupt cops.

I think of your dad whenever I see them.

You know that your dad and I were best friends, right?

You've told me countless times.

And that he was shot dead by the police?

You've told me countless times.

-There's one thing… -You've told me countless times.

Let me speak.

Just before he died, he dedicated his last words to you.

-His last words to me? -Yeah.

Before he died?

Yeah.

Stay with me, Mann.

Mann.

Mann, you can't die.

Ko-Wah, I won't make it.

Before I go,

can you promise me one thing?

I promise.

Go rescue my son.

They took him to be sold at the Malaya border.

I promise.

One more thing…

I promise.

I haven't said it yet.

Jackass.

Will you pass on my final words to my son?

What are the words? Tell me!

Say them! What are the words?

Say them!

Urghhh.

Louder, Mann. Louder!

Urghhh!

Mann!

Urghhh.

Urghhh.

That's it?

Yeah, that's it.

What does it mean, Ko?

God knows.

To this day, I still can't figure out

what he meant by "Urghhh."

Urghhh.

What could it mean?

But we do have tea.

Here it is.

It's from Japan.

Its aroma will fill your entire house.

It's good. Trust me.

How can I help you?

Well,

was this bike imported from Malaya?

Yes, it's from Malaya.

All your products are beautiful.

There's even more inside.

Even more beautiful?

Please come in.

Impressive.

Even during wartime, you're still able to find stuff to sell.

Feel free to look around.

Put it here.

Hurry back.

The Major wants you to move stuff for the Japanese.

All right.

I'll take this.

For your wife?

Well, I love it. It's savory and tasty.

Hey, Mont, let's go. The coast is clear.

-Stick to Plan A. -What's Plan B?

There's no Plan B, dickhead.

-Just asking. -Stupid question, jackass.

What? Why did they dump the sacks here?

If it's broken, the master will kill you.

These lackies never do what I ask. I'm gonna fire them all.

Hey, Mont.

-What is it? -We're screwed.

Please, Colonel Maeda.

-Hide. -Why?

Shut up. Just follow me, jackass.

Where to?

Thank you.

Where are you from? I've never seen you before.

I'm from Lansaka.

I run a wholesale business there.

I have some Japanese and Malayan goods that I'd like to show you,

in case you're interested.

Miss…

Chompen.

I'm Chompen.

Beautiful name.

It rhymes with mine.

What's your name?

Jong. My name is Jong.

How does it rhyme with mine?

We'd like to express our gratitude to you

for providing labor to assist us in building the railway.

We've taken care of your mining concession.

It's all good.

Thank you so much, Colonel Maeda.

But

we also need to inform you of another important matter

concerning our supply transport.

Last week,

we were robbed again.

What?

In the past month,

our convoy has been robbed three times.

We lost a great deal of our weapons and provisions.

The Thai Thieves Gang.

But

we heard that they weren't just ordinary Thai thieves.

It was the gang

led by Ko-Wah Thungsong,

the infamous bandit of Nakhon Si Thammarat.

Ko-Wah?

What's wrong, Mont? What's wrong?

I'm thinking of my dad.

Right now? Are you serious? You shithead.

I'm thinking of his last words.

So,

General Nakamura will oversee this matter himself.

-Quiet down. Hush. -What does it mean?

Who's out there?

Go take a look. What are you waiting for?

Yes, sir!

No one, sir.

I guess I was just hearing things.

All right, I'll take my leave now.

Yes, sir. I'll see you out.

That was close, dickhead!

I just wanted to know what "urghhh" meant.

Here it is, sir.

-For your daughter's hand. -Okay. All right.

Local Chief, we've got a situation. Chomchan is running away with Ko-Wah.

Ko-Wah, how dare you steal my daughter from my house?

Motherfucker.

Don't. You'll hit Chomchan.

Don't shoot. You'll only hit her.

I said don't shoot. You'll hit Chomchan.

Ko-Wah, I'll hunt you down with vengeance until the day you die.

Ko-Wah!

Where are you going?

Shoot! Go on!

Shoot like the vile thief you are!

I'm not a thief, Lieutenant Rung.

I make an honest living, yet you trample all over me.

Fine. You want me to be a thief?

Then I'll become one for you, jackass.

Honey, you gotta look at this.

Look.

WANTED BANDIT: KO-WAH THUNGSONG

This poster's up all over the market.

Dickhead. It doesn't even look like me.

Honey, quit your bandit life. I'm begging you.

Looks like the cops are serious this time.

Will everything really get better if I stop being an outlaw?

Will corrupt government officials and crooked merchants stop too?

Doors have locks, but the people of Nakhon have Glocks!

If they force me to stand down,

I'll blow their brains out!

But I'm worried about you. I don't want anything to happen to you.

Chomchan,

I promise

that I will look after you forever.

How far along now?

Three or four months.

Time flies.

Honey, what should we name our child?

My name's Ko-Wah.

Chomchan.

Ko-Wah and Chomchan.

If it's a boy, we'll name him Kochom.

If it's a girl, then name her… Chanwa.

What kind of name is that? Chanwa?

No, that name is out.

I'll leave it to you. I'm not good at this.

Tell you what, if it's a boy, we'll name him…

-Choeichan. -Choeichan?

If it's a girl, we'll name her…

Chompen.

-How does that sound? -Chompen?

That's a really beautiful name. Like an angel's name.

Dad, it's me.

So, will you be able to help me?

Please.

He's never even killed anyone.

BOUNTY: 500 BAHT, DEAD OR ALIVE

I can help you. Lieutenant Rung said he'd find a way.

Why would Lieutenant Rung help me?

I broke his heart and left him stranded in the middle of his own wedding.

I think he still holds a grudge against me and Ko-Wah.

Chomchan, listen to me.

Lieutenant Rung still loves you.

He'll do anything to make you happy.

This isn't about me.

I'm worried about Ko-Wah. I'm afraid he could be in danger.

So if I agree, what's next?

You don't have to do anything.

Just take Ko-Wah to Khaochumthong Junction train station

this coming Sunday.

But you must not let him know or else he'll never agree to going.

And Lieutenant Rung will take it from there.

Chomchan, why did you bring me here?

Honey, trust me, all right?

Come here, Chomchan.

Ko-Wah.

Chomchan.

Ko-Wah, I'm sorry.

Chomchan!

Let me go.

Ko-Wah, I'm sorry.

Chomchan!

Chomchan!

You want a photo like this?

I have a camera. I can shoot one for you.

But right now, we need to run or we're dead.

Come on!

Help me!

Anyone, help me!

The brakes are out!

Holy crap. Ko, come on!

Stop!

Here I come!

I'm here, miss. Calm down.

Calm down.

Listen to me. First, step on the brakes. Do it.

I'm doing it now,

but the car won't stop.

Dang, no wonder it's not stopping.

You're stepping on the gas pedal, not the brake pedal.

All looks and no brains. Goddammit.

Don't scold me. I don't know what to do.

-I said step on the brakes! -I already did!

Your driving is dangerous.

It's your first day driving, right?

Yes, it is.

I got all confused between the brake and the gas pedal.

-Are you all right? -Who?

-What are you? -Your damn dad.

Thank you, both of you, for saving my life.

Please come inside.

This is my house.

Please come in.

Let's go.

Just go with the flow.

Easy, Mont. Jackass.

Miss, someone called and said your brakes failed.

Are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere?

I'm fine, Khiew. I'm safe now.

Luckily, these two uncles saved me.

Oh, what are your names?

I'm Chompen.

I'm… Chuang.

You can call me bro.

But you can call this old man uncle.

His name is… Uncle Cham.

So, where are you from? I've never seen you around here.

We're from Hat Yai.

We sold fried chicken there. Business was bad, so we came here to work.

So many bandits in Hat Yai.

They are very dangerous. We can't trust anyone.

Oh, Khiew, please take the stuff from the car into the house.

Okay, miss.

Are you all right? What happened?

Dad, I won't drive again.

Never again. It's too scary.

Thank god they saved me. I could've been in serious trouble.

Thank you so much for saving my daughter.

You're welcome. We help those in trouble.

Here, take this.

What's wrong?

Look.

Two doves are mating.

Can you drive?

Yes, he can.

Dad, please hire him as my chauffeur. I'm not going to drive ever again.

They are currently looking for a job.

Hire Chuang too because our gardener just quit, didn't he?

Please, Dad.

Let's ask them first if they want to work for us.

-No-- -No problem at all.

We're pleased to serve you, Master.

Master, something serious is going down.

What's happening?

Bloodbath, sir.

Great.

Keep on fighting. Fight to the death so I'll get richer.

Thank you.

Mr. Jong, you're here so early today.

But my heart has been waiting for you since last night.

Please take it into the back room.

Take it inside. Go.

Dressed up like a movie star? What a jackass.

This is your order, Miss Chompen. I also have another thing to show you.

Wonderful.

I've been looking for this. Thank you.

My pleasure.

What?

Oh, Uncle Cham.

I forgot the other crate at home.

-Can you fetch it for me? -Go.

Why is she being forgetful now?

Go. I'll stay.

Uncle Cham.

Yes, miss.

Anyway, it's lunchtime. Are you hungry?

Hungry? Then eat my feet.

What's gotten into him?

Probably high on kratom tea.

-Master, please have mercy on us. -Please.

-Please. -Enough.

Don't you see the accrued interest?

Get me the money. Only then you can get your deed back.

But where can I get that much money?

The interest has really piled up.

-Please. -You sure were quick to ask for a loan.

But now look at you, begging for your deed back.

Damn it.

-Master. -What now?

Sakor is about to get in the ring.

Sakor, my boy.

Sakor, my boy.

Sakor, my boy!

That's my Sakor!

Sakor, my boy!

This is so good.

How did you hear about this place? I live here and didn't even know about it.

Because I'm both cute and smart.

So, where do you stay? Or do you commute between here and Lansaka?

I usually head back if I finish early.

Were you born in Lansaka or does your family live there?

I was born in Lansaka.

And if by "family" you mean "wife,"

I don't have one yet.

My parents were also from Lansaka, but they died long ago.

Sorry to hear that.

Are you sorry that I don't have a wife?

Mr. Jong!

Actually,

I was an orphan.

After I lost my parents,

a child-kidnapping gang

came and took me, along with three other orphans,

to be sold at the Malaya border.

But fortunately,

a big-hearted man

came and saved us just in time.

He raised us as his own children.

Time to eat. Stop playing.

Want some fish?

Jong, you're the big brother. Take care of your sis and bros.

-Sure, Ko. -Dig in. Share with one another.

Mont, why did you smack Dum's head?

Am I raising monkeys?

You eat from the same pot, so don't fight each other.

-The omelet looks really good. -Eat it.

We're all born human,

so never abuse the weak

or let anyone abuse or mistreat you.

Great.

Pull it up.

Your fists are not just for games.

Your feet are not for stepping on chicken shit.

You have to fight.

If you don't,

you're dead.

Each of you needs an alias.

Jong Lansaka.

Yada Nopphitam.

Dum Sichon.

Mont Ronphibun--

Where is he?

Mont!

Dickhead!

-Jackass. -He's like a real father to us.

Blind, I'm blind now.

-He taught us how to fight… -I'm blind now.

So no one could bully us again.

Will I grow up to be as beautiful as you, Aunt Chomchan?

Of course. You'll be very beautiful.

I'm sure all the young lads in the South will fall in love with you.

I don't want any other man.

I want only Jong to like me.

Oh, really?

You're sleepy now. Sleep then.

Sleep, all of you.

I'll sing you a lullaby.

Hush now, little one, it's time to sleep

And the auntie…

-Just rest -…took care of us like a real mother.

Spirits of the house

Do not tease or haunt this child

Guardian spirit of mine Do not frighten her

Lull this sweet girl to sleep

Sleep now

Let her rest Rock her gently into slumber

So, we love both of them so much.

That's great.

So, who's the kind couple?

You'll meet them someday.

I hope I'll get the chance to.

And I hope that I'll get to meet your father too.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you who my father is

because everyone wants to get to know him,

including you now.

You're right, I do also want to meet him

so I can ask his permission to date his daughter.

Do you think he'll give me his blessing?

Well,

I guess he will.

But next month, I have to go to Malaya with my mother,

probably for several days.

Well then…

keep this ring

so you'll think of me.

Then…

keep this necklace

so you'll think of me.

I promise

I won't take it off.

-What's wrong, Yada? -Start the car.

-But Jong-- -Start the goddamn car.

Hey. Here's your shirt, Jong.

-I washed it for you. -Thanks.

Who gave you this?

Oh, it's nothing.

Let me see.

Hey.

-It's a girl's-- -Hey!

I said it's nothing.

I'm going downtown.

Jong, hold on.

I need to talk to you man to man.

Go ahead, Dum.

You know I don't see Yada as just a sister, right?

Yeah, I can tell.

And you know that she's deeply in love with you, right?

I want you to be honest with her.

I hear you,

but I think she knows I only think of her as a sister.

Jong,

I just want you to tell her straight that it's never gonna happen.

And if I did say that, would she suddenly fall for you?

Listen to me.

This has nothing to do with me.

If she doesn't love you, then that's your problem.

Jong!

Jong!

When's the next time?

Maybe a few months from now.

General Nakamura is coming here from Tanowsri next week.

Could be an important matter.

General Nakamura?

How can you stand by and watch our military vehicles

get plundered over and over again by such nasty thieves?

How can you let those lousy thieves

rob our army convoys over and over?

I was told

you were the best cop in the South for fighting organized crime,

but that seems more like the sort of tale used to trick children and villagers.

I was told you were an elite crime-buster.

That's probably just a tale to fool kids and villagers.

If anything goes wrong again,

your concession deal with the Japanese army

may never proceed.

And your confession--

Concession.

Your concession deal with the Japanese army may never proceed.

I already know that. He said it in Thai.

Sir,

my apologies.

I will hunt them down

and let you execute them with your own hands.

This country has a lot of good things.

Unfortunately, there are as many mosquitoes as bandits.

And let me tell you,

I hate bandits even more than I hate mosquitoes.

You could always use repellent, sir.

If you fail to take care of this,

I will behead those bandits with my own hands.

Her name is Chompen,

the only daughter of Luang Arunpiwat, sir.

Let's go.

Is it heavy?

Heavy as hell.

No, I mean not at all.

Oh, Uncle Cham and Chuang, you can put them in the dining room.

-Yes, miss. -I'll sort them out later.

Thank you.

No problem.

Move further in.

What is it?

What's inside?

Deal with the folks at Pak Phanang and drive down the mortgage value.

The land's too good.

-Understood? -Yes, sir.

Holy crap. This clown's face is always so filthy.

BANGFIRE BRAND SONG: HAT PHA DAENG

SUNG BY: PRAPON SAMUTJAMORN

Mont, you bastard.

Are you all right? Not feeling well?

That's a photo of my mom when she was young.

Wasn't she pretty?

She still is.

Right now she's in Malaya for business. She'll be back next week.

You'll both meet her soon.

Luang Arunpiwat, once known as Lieutenant Rung,

was the man who threw me in jail 20 years ago

and took Chomchan from me.

Good thing he didn't recognize you, Ko.

How could he?

Back then, Ko had a full head of hair.

Now he's got a shiny bald head.

Not a single strand.

So Aunt Chomchan is the madame of the house, right?

Exactly.

And they have a daughter called Chompen.

Lieutenant Rung, you disgraced me.

I'll show you

that doors have locks, but the people of Nakhon have Glocks!

If you force me to stand down--

Then I'll find a seat!

Shut up, you jackass.

Ko,

I've been meaning to ask you something.

What now? This isn't a good time for that.

Can't you see Ko is sad?

It's about my father's last words before he passed away.

What did he say?

"Urghhh."

"Urghhh"?

What the hell?

Exactly, I want to know what "urghhh" means, too.

Hey, shithead, get out of here.

Go.

Dum, are you kicking me out?

Yeah, go!

Damn.

What a cranky bastard.

It's been almost 20 years since you broke out of prison

and tried to find Aunt Chomchan.

And now you have.

DAMN IT

Jong?

Go. Come on, move.

Come on, move.

Let's help them.

Come on, let's go.

Move now.

Come on, move. Come on.

Come on, get going.

Come on, move.

Move now.

How did you do that, Mont?

-Ah, awesome. -You're the best.

-Let's go. -Come on, hurry up.

Don't let him get away. Catch him.

After you guys helped me break free,

I never saw Chomchan again.

I thought she was dead.

But now,

if I ever meet her again,

I'll ask her if I was already dead to her.

What are you gonna do?

Urghhh.

What does it mean?

Why didn't he say anything else? Damn it!

I shouldn't have told him.

Yeah, he won't shut up now.

Urghhh! What the hell does it mean?

Mom!

Dad, Mom's back.

Aunt Chomchan is still just as gorgeous, right?

Mom.

-Did you miss me? -Of course.

I missed you so much, you know?

Why was this trip so long?

I had to stay longer to solve some shipment issues.

Thank you so much for handling it for me.

It's fine. No big deal.

Go get some rest, Mom. I'll put your bag away for you.

-All right. Thanks, dear. -Sure.

Go rest and freshen up.

Tonight, we'll finally get to have dinner all together.

Let's go.

Oh, shit!

TO MISS CHOMPEN

We, Cham and Chuang, had to resign.

We need to return to Hat Yai immediately.

We truly apologize for not being able to tell you this in person.

However, I have one last request.

Please give this axe to your mother.

When she sees it, she'll understand.

Mom, are you all right?

Are you sick?

-Let me take you to the doctor. -No. I'm not sick.

I'm totally fine, dear.

No, you're not.

Mom, you were dancing exactly like someone I know.

Like who?

The person who asked me to give you this axe.

He said you'd understand when you saw it.

Who gave you this axe?

Where is he now?

Where is he?

Uncle Cham, my chauffeur. But he quit already.

Anyways, he mentioned you in this letter.

C.C.

I've engraved my initials on this axe.

Whenever you use it,

you'll be reminded that I'm always with you.

I'll keep this axe forever in my heart.

Mom.

Are you okay?

Mom.

Ko, what were my dad's last words before he passed?

I've told you multiple times.

Your dad's last word was, "Urghhh."

Just one word.

-What does it mean? -I don't know.

How about you die so you can ask him yourself, jackass?

I'm stressing out.

"Urghhh." What does it mean, Dum?

It means shut up, dimwit.

Okay, fine. I'll shut up.

Damn it.

Do you really like Chompen?

It'll never happen.

Believe me.

A two-bit thief and a noble lady?

You're probably just her toy.

True.

You're a bandit, Jong.

No woman will take you seriously.

Break up with her. Believe me.

Where are you going?

Spit it out.

Not man enough to tell us?

Enough. You're drunk. Go to bed.

-So annoying. -Yada.

Jong, why do you have to be so harsh?

Damn it.

All men are stupid, aren't they?

Ko-Wah,

Jong.

No, it's not only men that are stupid.

A woman like you

is just as stupid as Jong and Ko-Wah.

Yada,

Jong never loved you.

He only thinks of you as a sister.

But I've always loved you, Yada.

But you play dumb, pretending you don't know.

Damn it!

Love makes us all stupid!

Dum,

you're clearly wasted.

Go to bed

and stop babbling nonsense.

I'm wasted too.

I'm going to bed.

Hey, Yada.

Yada.

Dum!

What the hell are you doing?

Don't think I'm that easy.

Even if you were the last man on Earth, I'd rather die.

Yada…

is that what you really think?

Yeah.

Since being nice doesn't work on you,

then I'll be a bad guy.

Dum!

What the hell are you doing? No!

You bastard! Get off me!

-Stop it, bastard! -Dum!

Son of a bitch!

What the hell?

I told you to love each other like siblings.

Remember? What's gotten into you?!

Have I ever told you

what I think of Yada?

All you've ever said is that we're bothers and sisters.

But did you ever care

how I really felt about Yada?

If that's what's in your filthy mind, get the hell out!

Don't show your face ever again!

-Is that what you want?! -Yeah!

Damn it!

General Nakamura wants you and your family

to join us on the train to Malaya.

Consider it a family vacation.

We're good, sir. We can follow along on our own.

We don't wish to bother you, sir.

Please show some respect for General Nakamura.

One more thing.

I'd like to have a word with Miss Chompen

in private.

May I?

I don't--

I don't mind, sir.

I brought this embroidered fabric from Japan.

It's a gift from me to you.

I'm afraid I cannot accept it.

Please do.

A bitterful thing like this

should belong to a bitterful woman like you.

I'd rather not.

Thank you.

I don't want to be bitter already.

No one has ever said no to me before.

You might want to think twice

before turning down my gesture of goodwill.

For your parents' sake, too.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Colonel,

when will the important cargo arrive here?

And is it

the gold shipment from Burma?

The first train will arrive here

on the 8th of the 8th month.

Our duty

will be to keep this train intact

until it reaches its destination.

Let's do this.

Well,

will we get a cut?

You're a such a badass.

All the gold we seize,

of course, will belong to the emperor.

But you know,

if four or five bars of gold were to go missing,

no one would ever notice.

Colonel, you're being too loud.

What if someone overhears?

Thai people don't understand our language.

-You're right. -You damn fool!

All right.

-Here we go. -Okay.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

-Tanaka. -Yes, sir?

-Shall we sing? -Of course!

Choo-choo

The train goes chugga-chugga Going forward

Choo-choo

Towards the wilderness Expands in front of us

No matter how far victory is

Banzai!

May every brave soldier advance safely

Imperial Japanese Army

The invincible Imperial Japanese Army…

Get in the car.

-Please. -Watch your step, sir.

All right.

That's it.

Thank you very much.

Oops, I'm doomed.

Nothing. I said, "I have a sinus."

See ya.

It was a success.

Those idiots fell right into our trap.

MINORITY GROUP TERRITORIES ON THE THAILAND-BURMA BORDER

What do you want?

I want a bang-bang.

We don't have that kind of thing here.

This is not a whorehouse.

Kuronsan, you dunce.

I'm a regular. Don't you recognize me?

Damn you!

How could I? I have a lot of customers.

What do you want?

M-16s.

We have that.

-Machine guns. -Yes.

-Cannons. -Yes.

-Bazookas. -Yes.

-Anti-aircraft missiles. -Yes.

-Cap guns. -No, we don't.

-Water pistols. -No, you idiot!

You think this is some kind of grocery store, Mont?

What gun do you want?

-Dynamite. -What the fuck?

We were talking guns.

Do you have dynamite?

How many shafts?

You call them shafts?

I'll take all you have.

What are you going to do with that many?

Blow up the Japanese.

Way to go!

I'll let you have it all for free.

Blast the hell out of those motherfuckers.

Miss Chompen.

I have bad news.

Tomorrow,

I have to take the train to Malaya with the Japanese.

Really?

If we manage to take the gold from them, we'll give it to those in need.

Let's go over the plan.

We aim for the middle freight car

that will be carrying the gold to Malaya.

Where is Dum?

No idea, Ko.

Since you kicked him out,

I haven't heard from him.

If he's not back by tonight,

we'll do it without him.

Yada, can you do it alone?

Sure, Ko.

Ko.

We have a problem.

Tomorrow, Luang Arun and his family will go to Malaya on that Japanese train.

Holy shit, that's not part of the plan.

Chompen just told me today.

We need a change of plan

or Chompen and Chomchan won't be safe.

Abandon the plan?

No,

just a few tweaks.

What about Luang Arun and his family?

Leave Luang Arun to me.

I'll settle the score.

He snatched the love of my life away.

I'll show him that…

doors have locks, but the people of Nakhon have Glocks!

If you force me to stand down--

Then I'll find a place to--

You clown.

Go sit somewhere else!

-Jackass. -He got me again.

Tomorrow, the 20-year feud

between me and Luang Arun will be settled at Khaochumthong Junction!

Dui, hit it.

Here's our plan.

Once the train reaches the valley,

I'll sneak aboard, take out the guards,

and then pose as one of them.

Hey,

button your top button.

If General Nakamura caught sight of this, he'd have your head chopped off.

I've never seen you before.

And you don't look like a soldier.

You look old as hell.

Hey,

is this a real mustache?

What?

Is this…

Jong, you leap on board as the train passes through the valley.

After that, find your way to the car carrying the gold.

Mont, wait on top of the hill before Ron Phibun station.

Get the dynamite ready.

Hold off until we rescue Chomchan and Chompen.

Wait for my signal.

When you see the flare, blow them to smithereens.

Yada, when you see the train, lead our men to flank it.

Try to stall them until Jong and I reach the gold carriage.

Charge!

They're here!

Ko?

Ko, are you all right?

Don't just stand there. Help me.

We're screwed, Ko. The gold isn't in here.

It's a trap.

Fire!

Kill them all! Full throttle!

Fire!

Dum!

Traitor!

Yada?

Yada!

Yada!

Yada!

Yada!

NO TRESPASSING

Jong?

Ko-Wah?

What, Mom? That's Uncle Cham, our ex-chauffeur.

So it is you, Ko-Wah.

DIE FOR MY COUNTRY

You filthy rats.

You took the bait and walked right into my trap.

I know all your secrets, Ko-Wah.

Today, I'll let you witness

the death of your ex-wife.

No!

Go to hell, Ko-Wah!

My turn!

Jong, help Chompen and Chomchan. Go.

I'll take care of him.

Jong, how did you get here?

Jong? Is it really you?

Yes. It's me, Aunt Chomchan.

Jong, you have to stop the train before Ko-Wah gets hurt.

Go on, please hurry.

Mom, how do you know Jong?

You still can't get over him after all these years?

Dad, Mom, what is this all about?

And you've been lying to me all these years, haven't you?

Yada, hang on.

Hang in there.

Take cover, Yada.

You can keep going, right?

Yada, you go ahead. I'll clear a path for you.

-What about you? -Don't worry!

Go! Now!

Come on! Move! Go!

Yada! Watch out!

Yada!

Dum!

Dum!

Dum.

Dum, stay with me.

I'm glad

that you still care about me.

At least,

I'm not the last man on Earth.

Dum!

Yada…

Run…

Run away.

Dum!

Dum!

You're finished.

Go to hell!

You fucking bastard!

Motherfucker!

You're done for!

Shit, end of the line. Holy fuck.

My balls!

Tun…

-Trying to trick me again, are you? -Tun…

Tun…

Tunnel.

You son of a--

Mont, look over there. The train is approaching.

Should we move in?

Not yet.

Just wait for the signal from Ko-Wah.

To hell with you!

It's over for you!

Eat this, asshole!

That's the signal.

Okay, go for it!

Let's blow them up!

Mont!

It's not time yet. That's not the signal, bonehead!

Mont! You fucking jackass!

I'm dead!

Listen to me, you dumbass!

Listen, man!

Mont!

You fucking jackass!

I'll just die on top of this train then.

I'm fucking dead. Goddamn you!

Wow, this is so fun.

This is so fun. And I'm totally stoned!

Ya-hoo, today we're screwed!

Chomchan!

Ko-Wah.

Mom.

Ko-Wah, stop right there!

Don't.

Chomchan, move!

If you want to shoot, shoot me.

Go on!

Chomchan!

Mom!

-Let's go, Chomchan. -Uncle Cham, don't hurt her!

Ko-Wah, where do you think you're going?

Dad, wait for me.

Ko-Wah, where are you going?

Chomchan.

Dad, wait for me!

Dad!

Ko-Wah!

Ko-Wah!

Motherfucker!

Ko-Wah, stop running!

Dad! Wait for me!

Damn you!

Yada!

Damn it.

Yada!

Yada.

Stay with me.

Jong…

I love you.

I'm happy

that I finally got to tell you this.

I'm here now.

Hang in there.

Even though

you only love me as a sister,

it's enough to fill my heart.

Yada.

Yada.

No, Yada.

No.

Will I grow up to be as beautiful as you, Aunt Chomchan?

Of course. You'll be very beautiful.

I'm sure all the young lads in the South will fall in love with you.

I don't want any other man.

I want only Jong to like me.

No!

Ko-Wah!

Stop running!

Ko-Wah!

Ko-Wah!

You hide here. I'll lure him the other way.

Wait.

Please don't leave me again.

I'll never leave you, Chomchan.

The two of us will be together forever.

Ko-Wah!

Stop right there!

Ko-Wah,

it's time we settled this, man to man.

You're not a coward, are you?

Rung,

you stole my wife.

That was easy.

Just ask Chomchan.

She chose to become my wife.

But you lied to me!

You told me he was dead.

That's why I agreed to marry you. How could you do this to me?

Because I love you!

I love you so much!

This bastard stole you from our wedding.

So I plotted to put him in jail.

But he somehow managed to escape.

Then let's settle this once and for all.

With pleasure.

Dad!

Uncle Cham, why did you shoot my father?

No!

Ko-Wah!

Ko-Wah!

No!

Chomchan!

Mom!

Mom!

Are you all right?

Chompen.

-Are you hurt? -Chompen…

Ko-Wah…

is your real father.

Mom, what are you saying?

I don't understand.

Chomchan.

Luang Arun…

may all the grievances we've suffered

end right here.

You've kept Ko-Wah and me apart our whole lives.

Dad…

this isn't true, is it?

Tell me it's not true.

Chompen…

Chompen, my child…

I…

I love you,

and I'm proud

of you.

So proud.

I love you too, Mom.

Chomchan.

Mom!

-Don't leave me! -Chomchan! No!

Mom, don't leave me!

Mom!

Chomchan.

Mom.

Wait for me.

I'll be right behind you.

Ko.

Ko.

Aunt Chomchan.

Jong.

Mom.

-Jong… -Ko.

I will, Ko.

I promise…

I'll take good care of Chompen.

Ko-Wah,

can you forgive me?

Ko.

-Mom! -Ko!

-Ko! -Come back to me, Mom.

Chomchan!

Mom.

Hush now, little one, it's time to sleep

Just rest

Spirits of the house

Do not tease or haunt this child

Guardian spirit of mine Do not frighten her

Lull this sweet girl to sleep

Sleep now

Let her rest Rock her gently into slumber

A FEW YEARS LATER

Time to eat. Stop playing.

You eat from the same pot.

Stop playing with your food.

Dig in. Share with one another.

Jong, you're the big brother. Take care of your sis and bros.

Mont, why did you smack Dum's head?

Am I raising monkeys?

You eat from the same pot, so don't fight.

CHOMCHAN - KO-WAH

Mont beat us to it.

CHOMCHAN - KO-WAH

Dad…

I never knew…

that you were my real father.

But during that time we spent together,

I could sense

the love…

and care…

that you always had for me.

Dad…

I'm sorry.

You can't blame yourself

for what you didn't know.

Dad, what is this?

Chomduen, that axe belonged to your grandparents.

You know what?

They fell in love with each other because of that axe.

Can I take it home with me?

No, you can't.

It doesn't belong to us.

You wouldn't want to be a thief, would you?

Give it to me.

Well, let me see your hands.

Did you have fun?

All right, let's go home.

Let's go. Come on.

Look. Beautiful, isn't it?

Please don't leave me again.

I'll never leave you, Chomchan.

The two of us will be together forever.

Jackass motherfucker.

Stop slacking off.

Plow the field.

Wow, you have the nerve to look at me.

Don't look at me like that.

Luang Arun, you dickhead.

You trampled on other people all your life.

Well, I can be an even bigger dickhead than you.

Not plowing, huh?

Fine.

If you don't want to plow, I'll show you what happens.

Urghhh!

What did you just say?

Say that again.

Urghhh!

It all makes sense now.

You sound just like my dad.

Before he died, he was trying to tell Ko that his balls were hurting.

Urghhh!

Louder, Mann! Louder!

Urghhh!

Mann, what are you trying to say?

Louder, Mann!

Urghhh!

Mann!

The riddle has been solved!

Before my dad died, his balls were being squeezed!

Ko! I've figured out what killed my dad!

You squeezed his balls!

-Urghhh! -Again.

Urghhh!

-Again. -Urghhh.

-Urghhh! -Again.

-Urghhh! -Again.

Urghhh!
