Original subtitles

Mother! Mother! I am here!

- Harn. - They are gone.

They are now camping.

Prai has completely changed.

He is no longer your senior disciple!

We shall not face them directly.

This is not you at all. The love for your wife changed you.

Prai's magic is truly powerful.

You will not stand a chance.

If you join me,

I shall promote you to a Khun.

That way, you shall lead your own men to destroy Prai.

Dear!

Is this Prai who robbed Harn's village?

That man is an imposter.

This one is the real Prai.

This is Lady Chavala, Prai.

She is my wife. You must not bother her anymore.

This brother

shall help you.

I shall meditate and focus my energy

into these enlivened effigies.

What?!

Nothing is happening.

Worthless! I am completely worthless!

Some entries were stamped with the Dharmachakra seal.

But some entries were not.

What does this mean?

You must die. You were the reason the effigies were destroyed.

You have weakened my brother's magic.

You were the reason! You were the reason!

It was all because of you!

Let me go.

If you die,

Pansaeng, my brother, shall regain his powerful magic.

You are merely a burden to my brother,

who is dying because of you!

Die!

If she continues to stay beside you,

your magic shall only be weakened further.

I wish to be happy, as other husbands and wives do.

Yes.

A burden.

I am merely a burden.

It is good that I die.

Farewell, my dear.

I shall have to leave you now.

I wish to have her by my side

every minute I have left.

That is my greatest wish, My Lord.

My Lady. Wake up. Wake up.

- My Lady. - You wicked madman.

Va took you in and fed you meals,

yet you dared to hurt her.

Do you wish to stay with us?

You must eat something and take some medicine.

It shall hurt only a bit.

You are beautiful.

Yes.

The beautiful lady.

The beautiful lady who helped me. I cannot harm her.

My Lady! My Lady!

My Lady, wake up.

Wake up. Please wake up.

- My Lady. - Tian…

My Lady.

Please forgive me! Please!

- Stay away! - Please forgive me!

- Do not ever touch her! - Get out!

Go away. Leave this house at once.

And may we never see you again. Go!

- My Lady! - I said go!

- Forgive me! Not again! - Go away!

- My Lady! - Get out!

- Please forgive me! - Go away!

- My Lady! My Lady! - Go! Leave!

- Go away! - My Lady! Please forgive me!

My Lady!

My Lady…

Va.

- Are you injured? - No…

- My Lady. - Were any of you harmed?

Are you truly not hurt?

My Lady.

Master.

Master Nandha.

Master Nandha.

Master Nandha.

Please help me.

You are the only one who can help me.

What Prai said was right.

I am only a burden to Khun Seangplarn.

If I decide to ordain, he shall be able to move on

and finish the new effigies.

Love is held in your heart.

The clerical robe is nothing more than attire.

It shall not remove your love.

Then,

must I run away from him?

Pansaeng will then become disheartened

and squander more time searching for you.

And must I let his death approach him?

Must he die because of me?

Even if you die,

everything shall stay the same.

Perhaps Pansaeng will become insane, like Prai.

There is only one way

you can resolve this.

What is it, Master?

Accept the life you have

as it is.

You have been trying to dictate your life

to be what you want.

You have fought hard for what you wanted.

Failure to attain it has left you in agony.

If we were not meant to fight,

then what is the true purpose of our lives?

To be happy.

Feel the wind

and the trees around us.

They are encouraging you to be happy.

For those you cannot control,

you must let go

and always put your heart at ease, my child.

Va is seeing Master Nandha, sir.

She will stay and practice Dharma with her tonight.

Va asked me to tell you not to worry about her.

And what of Prai?

He is no longer here, sir.

He asked Lady Va for forgiveness and ran away.

Sheltering a madman such as him shall only bring us trouble.

We should let him go, sir.

Prai created this consecrated item.

It was infused with his power.

Prai.

Tell me where you are.

Why?!

Why am I still not dead?

The day we met…

I was but a little orphan.

I was the last of my kin. You…

were the best amongst us.

You helped with my training.

You were the leader.

You were our big brother at the school.

That's why

you became Master Prai,

the most notorious thief.

And you became a civil servant.

The two of us

truly walk different paths.

No one cherishes me anymore.

I have no one left.

But you have me,

your beloved brother.

Many defenseless citizens are being slaughtered by the rebels in the city.

You must live for me

and those people in need.

Very well.

I shall live for you.

From now on,

you shall live a new life and fight for every defenseless citizen.

Yes.

I shall no longer be an animal.

I shall be a good man.

Prai.

For you.

For Ayothaya.

Chai.

The flu is becoming widespread.

You must be careful.

I plan to submit a request to the authority.

If you sleep on a warm mattress, your condition may improve.

I am not familiar with you being quiet

and not scolding me.

Brother.

Will my love

ever break the wall you have built in your heart, Chai?

By the way.

The other day,

someone left me the records with Dharmachakra stamps.

I could not understand any of it.

What does Dharmachakra

truly mean?

When you were the customs officer,

did you ever receive such records?

Perhaps I have spoken too much.

I shall take my leave.

Father said

that this seal is truly important.

What is its importance?

I am not certain.

In the study,

there is a wooden box kept in a safe.

There's something inside.

Look for it.

Yes.

In the study,

there is a wooden box kept in a safe.

Greetings, My Lord.

‪-Capture him. ‪-What is this, My Lord?

There are rumors that you are a rebel.

A loyal noble such as I was concerned.

So, I sent my men to inspect

your storage facility outside the city.

Well,

what have you found? Tell Luang Bovorntat.

In the storage facility in Ban Khwae Yai,

we found steel and swords,

My Lord.

Having amassed this many weapons,

you are a rebel,

are you not?

No, My Lord.

You have gravely misunderstood me.

Those goods were stocked for sale, My Lord.

For sale?

But it is against the law, is it not?

You are well aware of that.

My Lord.

May I discuss something with you?

Is one out of ten portions of profit enough?

Who do you think I am?

Are you attempting to offer me a bribe?

My Lord.

We are no strangers. You have helped me once before.

But our nation was not in such chaos.

Three out of ten portions. Do we have a deal, My Lord?

I desire to be in a certain position.

I shall ask that side the way I have asked you.

We shall see who can offer me more.

And the forces of the Ministry of the Treasury

will join that side.

What position

do you set your eyes on, My Lord?

You are still young.

You need a senior such as me to protect you.

I wish to become king.

- You! - Do you dare refuse?!

Do not forget that my family

owns all the trade routes of Ayothaya.

The new dynasty shall be the wealthiest because of me!

Hear this.

I shall name you the crown prince.

Together, we shall hold the power. Is it enough?

It is not, My Lord.

You must

give me your commander seal as collateral as well.

A commander seal is too important.

I can give it to no one.

Taen Seenil and Prai are waiting to strike out there.

My side will surely prevail.

Imagine yourself becoming the king.

Together, we shall hold the power.

- Tell them the checkpoint opens shortly. - Yes, My Lady.

Hey! Who is that?!

- I said stop! - What is it, Va?

Laor. We must follow him. He did something at the Office. Come!

- I shall go that way. - Hurry!

Stop!

- Stop. Stop! - Va.

Where did he go?

He was truly fast.

I tried to cut him off, but still could not catch him.

Darn it.

A Dharmachakra lantern?

It looks like the one you hung over the porch.

Who are these people?

Another record with the Dharmachakra seals

identical to the first one?

It is from a different district.

But why are some entries stamped,

while others are not?

I wonder so.

What does the Dharmachakra

truly symbolize?

This is the part I do not know.

Then we shall make it easy.

Let us see for ourselves.

The rumors about my insurrection are plenty now.

We must be truly careful with our caravans.

I am very worried about this matter.

Tomorrow, we will have an important caravan

carrying only weapons.

Perhaps I must go there myself,

to intimidate the customs officers

and make them let our wagons through faster.

Just as I thought. They are weapons.

Does that mean the Dharmachakra was stamped on illegal entries?

The customs officers were afraid to report.

If those caravans belong to the nobles,

the officers who report them will be in trouble

and may even meet awful ends.

So, the Dharmachakra seal is used for reporting corrupt officials.

My father trained all the customs officers of Ayothaya.

He most despised those who defraud the nation.

The people who gave you these leads

are the honest officers who are loyal to our land.

But why would they give them to me?

What do they wish for me to do?

These arms must belong to Luang Bovorntat.

I shall order my men to watch over it.

Once they come to move them, I shall extract the truth from them.

Horse carriage.

- We must leave. - Yes.

Khun Pakdee, Luang Bovorntat's loyalist.

Check thoroughly.

- Follow my order. Do you remember it? - Yes, sir.

It is done, My Lord.

Luang Bovorntat must be inside.

Dear.

What if we capture Luang Bovorntat with the evidence?

We shall triumph in thwarting the insurrection.

Ride ahead back to Ayothaya.

I shall follow the carriage.

But dear, you are without the effigies--

Have you ever seen Khun Saengplarn unprepared?

Return to the city now. Trust me.

Yes.

You are not the only one with a plan, Pansaeng.

We have ours as well.

Should you face Pansaeng,

use this yantra

to create a barrier and destroy his magic.

Then, you shall hurt him.

You shall meet your end today.

I shall not be defeated that easily.

Power of the sun, to me!

Here I come!

- Buddho Na Ma Pa Ta. - Namo Buddha Ya.

Loose!

- Curse it! - Prai. Follow that carriage.

We must capture the man inside!

Go!

Pansaeng.

Halt! Halt!

Protect the Luang!

Is that all you can do? Huh? Is that all?

Prai.

Your magic and strength have returned.

Yes, they have truly returned.

Approach with caution.

Luang Bovorntat wields powerful magic.

This is not Luang Bovorntat.

Jaokhun Thammanart?

Why is he here?

My Lords, now we have learned the truth,

that the usurper is not me,

but Jaokhun Thammanart.

Your apology is due.

The Minister of the Treasury

has the duty to protect the interests of our nation.

Yet, he had been selling arms for his own wealth.

No wonder Ayothaya has almost no wealth left in the Treasury.

Such a terrible offender

deserves the erasure of his whole bloodline.

Now, please cease your doubts in me,

for I am the most loyal to His Majesty the King.

I am not the usurper.

Since the duty of the Minister of the Treasury is vacant,

what must we do next, My Lord?

Normally, the successor would be his son.

But Thammanart had four wives and countless sons.

They must be fighting for it.

That means

the forces of the Treasury are without its commander.

Thammanart

gave me his commander's seal.

The soldiers of the Ministry of the Treasury are now mine.

Your trick for him to inspect the goods

led to his shameful demise. Since heaven is on our side,

I must now pray for your long reign, Your Majesty.

You please me greatly!

It shall not be long.

Father found a secret Dharmachakra

to fight against corrupt nobles.

But how could we customs officers

stand a chance against them?

Who is that?

Stop at once. Are you one of the Dharmachakras?

Hey!

Do not run away! Come and talk to me.

Stop! Stop!

My Lady. My Lady, where are you going?!

Aon!

Cunning bladework,

but strength is lacking.

You need more training.

My Lady.

Aon.

Do not harm My Lady.

This young man appears capable.

You should join our Dharmachakra Order.

Dharmachakra Order?

What is it?

The wheel of Dharma keeps turning.

In the dark days, we shall wait.

When the time comes, we fight villainy.

In the end, Dharma shall prevail.

He is Father's student.

They are customs officers

from everywhere in Ayothaya.

Lady Chavala, you are the leader we have been waiting for.

You were brave enough to use our leads

to fight for the truth.

Hence, all 15 of the Dharmachakra lanterns were lit.

Chai never lit the Dharmachakra lantern,

so you kept yourselves secret.

Lady Chavala and Khun Saengplarn are our hope.

They are the right chance, our leaders.

The Dharmachakra Order has new leaders now.

Let the lanterns

of Dharmachakra shine bright. We shall protect Ayothaya with our lives.

CUSTOMS RECORD

Individual customs records

shall not reveal the goods' routes.

But if we have all from each checkpoint,

we shall see all the paths of goods everywhere in Ayothaya.

Are you mapping the paths from all those records?

Yes.

Suspicious goods were stamped with the Dharmachakra seal.

If these goods often ended up around the house or storage of certain nobles,

that means

they are corrupt.

Every customs officer shall be our witness.

We shall address this evidence before His Majesty the King,

and let those corrupt nobles be removed.

Their forces shall then be used to protect our land.

Yes.

I will help you.

Very well.

- Jaokhun Thammanart's goods. - Hm.

- To Thung Kaeo checkpoint. - Thung Kaeo.

Dear.

Dear.

Oh?

It is morning.

I caused you not to sleep last night.

Shall we take a walk?

Good thinking.

Let us go.

How beautiful.

It is truly the city of heaven.

May the love for our land

strengthen my spirit.

I must not die.

I must return home

to see the sun above Ayothaya

with my cozy little soul every day.

Heaven and earth, please bear witness.

I

shall give my life to this nation,

and I shall return home to see the sun with my husband every day.

Both of your minds are suffering from lust.

It burns you and distracts you.

Your focus is not pure,

so you cannot perfect the enlivened effigies.

The effigies are representations.

They require the power strictly from the owner.

But master sorcerers such as Taen Seenil

can only be defeated with Pansaeng's enlivened effigies, Master.

If we desire a different outcome,

we must not use the same method.

We shall find a different way to pray.

Out of all the creations,

love is most powerful.

Trees are merciful.

They are gracious. They are not possessive nor coercive.

Trees are not vengeful nor hurtful, for they never expect.

The two of you

must feel the love from the trees within yourselves.

You must feel it.

THE FULL MOON DAY OF THE FOURTH MONTH I SHALL BEGIN AN INSURRECTION

Red cloth signs from Prai

- are all over the city. - What does it say?

Prai shall raid the city

on the full moon day of the fourth month.

The day of Taen Seenil's insurrection.

Our land is in chaos. What must we do, Saiyud?

We must inform Khun Saengplarn. He shall help us.

An insurrection begins on the full moon of the fourth month.

It is only a little over a month. Are we truly well-prepared?

Master Taen has ordered me so.

He said that Pansaeng is now weakened. This shall be the best time.

Then, we must gather the forces

more than what Jaokhun Singh has

and seize the royal palace on the same day.

My ancestors

once ruled this nation.

Now, I shall reclaim it.

The next king shall be called Bovorntat!

I,

Praya Singhanarong,

commander of forces under Chief of the Armed Forces…

I, Praya Kaewkarop,

commander of forces under the Ministry of the Royal Household…

I,

Praya Kasetboriban, commander

of forces under the Ministry of Agriculture…

- hereby swear - hereby swear

- to protect this land with my life. - to protect this land with my life.

The pillars of Ayothaya consist of six noble families.

Why are only three of them present?

Are they betraying the oath of allegiance water?

Queen Mother,

please be assured

that I intend to gather three additional forces

to safeguard your throne, Your Highness.

Myself

and Khun Suriyonhassadee believe that the dynasty of Ayothaya

shall remain unharmed.

What magic is he wielding

to flawlessly imitate me?

Is he truly Taen Seenil?

Yes, Prai.

People are now losing spirit.

I must destroy their camp before they raid the city.

Destroy the whole camp full of thieves by ourselves, two men?

Who says there will be two of us? Only you shall suffice.

Only I?

Master.

I thought you were meditating uphill.

What is your bidding?

I wish to relocate the camp.

All of you, gather your things!

We shall move to the cave

in the tamarind woods.

- Go. - Move.

Go.

Hey! What are you doing?

Where are you lot going?!

Master has told us to move. And he is here.

Who are you?

There are two Masters. What shall we do?

I am the real Prai. You are the imposter!

I am the real one!

Some of you

have been Prai's disciples for decades.

Do you still remember the mantra for consecrating protection ropes?

Recite it.

Recite it out loud! Recite the mantra.

Buddho Na Ma Pa Ta. Namo Buddha Ya.

I was right.

My master wields yellow protection rope.

That is Taen Seenil in disguise.

He created false protection ropes

to use you all as an insurrection force to raid Ayothaya.

- What? - Huh?

Pansaeng!

You are now at your weakest state, Pansaeng! Die!

May the love for our land

strengthen my spirit.

I must not die. I must return home

to see the sun above Ayothaya

with my cozy little soul every day.

Use the power of love to awaken the enlivened effigies.

He has awakened the enlivened effigies.

- Huh? - The effigies have returned.

Not today.

Not today.

Your magic has returned, brother.

Khun Saengplarn, the sorcerer, has returned!

My brother has returned.

Who did this to you?!

Pansaeng

has awakened his enlivened effigies.

How did he regain his magic?

Did you not say he cannot take a wife?

Prai's thieves now belong to him.

I cannot lose, my disciple. I shall have Ayothaya.

I must emerge victorious.

I am the only great sorcerer of this land,

not him!

I am no longer your burden.

I am not the cause of your death.

I am truly no longer your burden.

You are my strength.

My beloved.

My cozy little soul.

The magic of Pansaeng and Prai are both condemned dark magic.

We must imprison him.

- We cannot! - We cannot!

If he is imprisoned, who will protect our land?

I am confined with yantra.

Taen Seenil's yantra.

Why do they not approach?

These are the noble families

and merchants who are corrupt, My Lord.

No wonder.

Your name is on the map as well.

Go to Pansaeng's house and bring it to me.

What are you doing…?

Here they come.

Ayothaya, my motherland.

Let the lanterns of Dharmachakra shine bright!

We shall protect Ayothaya with our lives!

Let us start the new dynasty of Ayothaya.

We three families shall reign together.
