Original subtitles

Die, Aon!

I shall tell of every wound they have endured.

Who cast this magic upon you?!

Their craft is most uncommon!

Saenkam. You are much more skilled.

You are worthy of greatness alongside Taen Seenil.

What shall you let Aon do?

He shall sell goods in the market.

- I can do it. - I shall rent a shop for you.

- Here. - Here, My Lady.

She does not like Khanom chan, sir. Sampannee

is her favorite. Then,

- Foi thong! - Foi thong!

Some people

can wound the hearts of others without need of weapons or sorcery.

This yantra shall suppress Pansaeng's curse.

From now, that buffalo hide shall not pain you again.

He shall not be able to harm me again, shall he?

I have a task for you.

This is yours, Saiyud.

Why are you giving us this money, sir?

A token of apology.

For the way I mistreated you all.

I shall not hurt any of you again.

You have my word.

Shall you truly be able to do it?

You always forget your words when you're angry.

You!

I shall try!

Now, all of you.

Will you serve me once more?

I shall go and apologize to Va

and bring Aon home.

Are you satisfied?

I truly want to change my ways.

Show me some sympathy.

Here.

This is yours.

Here. This is yours.

What happened, Ngiam?

Muen Vorachai went to the shaman to remove the curse,

but it was unsuccessful.

He must have made peace with it.

Perhaps he knows it is time to change his ways.

- Ngiam. - Yes, sir.

Help me put it away.

Then we must hide it well

before he changes his mind.

Shall we go?

Go.

Let us go.

And you must pretend to be good and enter Pansaeng's house.

Must I pretend to have changed my ways, My Lord?

Yes.

I have a task for you.

These are the urns of Father and Mother. Do you not remember, Va?

I hereby swear to be a better man

and change my ways.

I shall cease my impulsiveness and my violence towards others,

Father and Mother.

You are only pretending, and trying

to convince me to ask Khun Saengplarn to remove the curse, are you not?

Not at all, Va.

Well,

I was reflecting on the teachings of our parents.

Did they not wish for me to be a good man?

I have truly changed, Va.

You claim to have changed, and now I am to trust your words?

Perhaps it is all too easy.

A portion of my wealth has been given to Saiyud and others.

Laor's parents as well.

I did this to atone.

I truly want everyone to forgive me.

No.

You must return home and prove yourself to me first.

You there.

What are you doing?

A ghost! A ghost!

Do not harm me!

I am afraid! Please do not harm me!

- I am afraid! Please back away! - Who is that?

Laor.

Please do not harm me! Do not possess me!

- I am afraid! - Ngiam? Ngiam!

Tian. What is happening?

He wandered around the house,

and when I questioned his actions,

he started yelling nonsense, My Lady.

What were you doing up here?

I was searching for Muen Vorachai, My Lady.

And is this the spirit child that Khun Saengplarn keeps?

Tian is but a boy. He favors this outfit.

Is he truly a human?!

And Chai is outside, not in here.

Khun Saengplarn does not wish for anyone to enter his house.

Do not ever let yourself in again.

Yes, My Lady. I shall remember it.

You did this again, Tian.

Well, did you scare him?

Perhaps I went too far.

Did you fail to do what I asked?

Forgive me, sir.

Please do not punish me.

I shall do whatever you command me to,

but please keep me away from Khun Saengplarn, sir.

You coward!

I have carried it out myself!

Please do not harm me! I am afraid!

Laor.

Is my life fated to follow the same path as yours,

Prai?

Your meal, sir. There is sugarcane juice as well.

There is a letter to you, sir.

"Silent anger and hatred resemble severed ties,

offering no chance for me to mend them."

I bear no anger nor hatred toward you.

Do you wish for me to carry that message to Va?

Do not bother.

Yes, sir.

Then I shall go and practice Muay, sir.

Where does the music come from?

What a truly beautiful sound.

But why does it sound familiar?

I do not despise you.

On the contrary…

My Lady. My Lady.

Since destiny has not bound you two,

please accept this and find peace, my child.

How could Pansaeng come to love such a woman?

I do not understand.

Do Pansaeng and Lady Chavala

truly love one another?

Their love even caused the house to shake, My Lord.

If Pansaeng's love is genuine,

then the rumor is certainly false, my dear.

What rumor?

Father. Mother.

It is said among the military

that Pansaeng and Prai, the bandit, studied magic under the same master.

This school forbids any attachments to women.

Please tell me more.

Ten years ago, Prai was a thieving sorcerer.

The spiritual items he consecrated

were sought after by all.

Hundreds of men

begged to study under him.

Prai

- assumed control of a vast den of thieves. - Prai. Here.

- This way, please. - Me too, Prai.

- Prai. - Here, Prai!

- Wait! - In the back as well.

- Prai. - Further this way, Prai.

Prai, give me.

Prai had never involved himself with women.

One day, he was weakened

upon meeting a woman named Aunruean.

Their bond grew intimate.

Then, both Prai and Aunruean disappeared.

They longed for a simple life,

so they settled in a small house

among the mountains in Lavo.

One day, the villagers found them,

and a fight ensued.

- You! - Prai!

Is this truly the legendary Prai?!

Aunruean!

His magic faded because he fell in love with a woman?

The news of his diminished prowess reached the authorities.

The soldiers then surrounded him to capture him.

And was he captured, My Lord?

Both of them were brought to the capital's prison.

I was the judge in that trial.

Then, the sentence must have been execution.

Yes.

I did visit them the day before the execution.

My Lord. Please help me.

My wife

became severely ill.

You shall be executed tomorrow.

Do you have any final wishes?

Aunruean never stole from

nor harmed anyone.

She has committed no crimes.

Please let her go, My Lord.

Many harbor thoughts of revenge upon you.

You have taken their kin from them.

Do you truly believe that Prai's wife shall survive outside of prison?

I beg of you.

Could you please

bring the doctor to treat her illness?

Keeping her alive shall suffice.

Fine.

If any doctor is willing to treat the wife of an infamous outlaw such as yourself.

You have my deepest gratitude, My Lord.

Your mercy shone even on a vile bandit.

You truly are the kindest.

That day, I witnessed

the depth of their love for one another.

Love is truly frightening.

They were willing to forsake all, even their lives,

for the sake of love and to remain together.

Then why has Prai still not been executed?

He is now wielding his magic to rob and kill once more.

The next day, while being sent to the executioner…

- Go! - Go to your death!

- Go away! Go! - Die!

- Go! - Go away!

- To your death! - Go!

- Go away! - We are not afraid of you!

Go! Go away!

I love you.

Farewell.

Aunruean passed away in prison.

Prai, despite his illness, did something terrible.

Once Aunruean died,

did his magic return?

Yes.

Prai managed to escape,

and his magic was restored.

If Pansaeng has mastered the same magic as Prai's,

he shall not be able to love.

He shall lose his power

and even meet his end.

I heard that Pansaeng's enemies

sent women to seduce him many times.

Lady Chavala is one of them, My Lady.

Muen Vorachai lost the rank of Khun to him,

and he must have been furious.

In that moment, I could not help

but think that they were truly in love.

Yet, sometimes it seems that they are pretending only to infuriate me.

Panseang and Lady Chavala

truly confuse me.

Greetings, My Lord.

I have retrieved the belongings of Pansaeng and Chavala.

What shall you do next?

I shall undertake a great task.

Is it truly suitable for me to be in the woods

where people pass through?

Very well.

I shall find you a new abode.

I desire a most exquisite house by the river,

ten servants, and three meals a day.

And liquor as well.

I must have my payment as well,

since I serve Master Saenkam.

Fine!

What of me, My Lord?

I had exhausted all my wealth

by giving it all to the servants.

Shall you not show me mercy?

You have my thanks.

From now,

I shall sleep in a proper bed as others do.

And I shall drive all the villagers out

to work only for noblemen

or wealthy merchants. That way,

we shall become rich, Master.

We shall not only be rich.

I shall become the minister and rule this nation.

Then I wish to be a Luang, Master.

Then I will surely be called Jaokun.

I grow weary of these parasites.

They are nothing but insolent and rude.

How dare they equate themselves with my kind?

Patience, My Lord.

Once you ascend to the throne of Ayothaya,

we shall rid ourselves of them.

This is the magical

amoria bloom.

It is merely an ordinary plant.

Amoria bloom shall not grow

without a sacrifice.

Must the offerings be fresh blood?

To bind two in carnal desire,

the fresh blood of a lifeless pregnant woman is required.

Where would you find one?

Must we kill a person?

Yes.

Originally, the duty of making Pansaeng fall in love

with Lady Chavala and lose his magic was yours.

But you never succeeded,

even after I offered you ample rewards.

Do you wish for me to kill someone, My Lord?

How many months pregnant is Noi now?

Six or seven months, sir. Why did you wish to know?

Find a way to lure her

to the cemetery of Wat Heeplat

and slit her throat with a knife.

I must kill Noi, sir?!

Yes.

Am I not mistaken?

You did not mean it, did you?

What shall I gain from this atrocity, sir?

I shall give you 20 Hun of gold if you succeed.

No, sir. I could not bring myself to do it.

Ngiam!

Useless! Ngiam!

How long have you been here?

I have missed the old cow dearly

and have come to visit Saiyud and the others.

You are here to probe me, perhaps.

I told you I have truly changed my ways.

Jerm and others confirmed that as well.

They said that you are behaving yourself really well lately.

Would you care to stay for dinner?

Although,

we have no meal prepared,

merely morsels for drink.

Brother, I also wish to speak with you about this.

If you truly wish for Khun Saengplarn to lift the curse,

merely ceasing your tyranny shall not suffice.

You must refrain from drinking liquor.

Could you return to righteousness and fulfill your duty?

Must I stop drinking?

When we were young,

we would recite an oath

before the stupas of our ancestors each year.

Do you remember?

Our clan has served as nobles for generations

and has never brought disgrace upon itself.

We are here before our ancestors,

so pledge your oath, my children.

Ready your prayer stance.

Repeat my words.

I shall be a good person,

putting the welfare of others

before my own.

- I shall be a good person, - I shall be a good person,

- putting the welfare of others - putting the welfare of others

- before my own. - before my own.

I shall be the servant of this land

and uphold the well-being of its people.

- I shall be the servant of this land - I shall be the servant of this land

- and uphold the well-being of its people. - and uphold the well-being of its people.

My dream

is to see you commit yourself to that oath.

Quitting drinking

and returning to duty

shall rid me of the curse?

I am certain

Khun Saengplarn would agree to lift it.

Fine. I shall try.

Your words

have already made me happy.

Do as you said.

For Father and Mother.

What is wrong, My Lady?

Saiyud.

If someone

is angry with us

but does not tell us what they are angry about,

what are we to do?

Who is it you are talking about?

It is Khun Saengplarn.

He is ever-changing, with moods that rise and fall. I cannot seem to please him.

With great love,

our hearts shall be fragile.

Once the heart fractures, you must tend to it.

Keep tending to his heart, My Lady.

With great love? I…

I am overjoyed

that he loves you,

and you love him.

Perhaps, in no time,

I shall raise my little masters.

Saiyud, it is not what you think.

He would never…

Well, he said that we would live together as siblings.

And you think you can live such a life?

Your meal, sir.

What is it you are looking at?

Va told me to keep watch while you have your meal, sir.

Shall you have it now, sir?

What is the point?

If you refuse to eat, I am told to hand you this letter.

"Carry on with your anger and hatred. I am through.

But you must still eat and drink."

Keep it.

In this life, we may not be destined to be together.

Perhaps, all we can do is wish each other well.

My Lady…

Tian.

You scared me!

Why does your voice get more drawn-out each day?

Perhaps I truly am a spirit child

conjured by Khun Saengplarn.

Do you truly believe so, My Lady?

Have you lost your mind?

Well, what of your parents in another town?

Are they krahang and krasue, then?

No.

They are angel and heavenly maiden.

Tian.

Is a person in this neighborhood

a musician?

No, My Lady.

But I heard the fiddle sound.

It was beautifully played.

The only person in this area who plays fiddle

is Khun Saengplarn, My Lady.

Khun Saengplarn?

During normal days, you should sell durable everyday wares,

such as bowls and jars.

They can be sold anytime, but offer little profit as everyone sells them.

So, we must have a second plan, My Lady?

Yes. The goods for special occasions,

such as bathing garments for monks.

You must buy them cheap

and sell when the time is right.

You truly have a head for business.

Well, what of the third plan?

What yields the most profit with the least effort

are goods from foreign merchants.

Lady Va, long time no see. Are you doing well?

Oh, I am doing well.

What of your family? Are they not here?

No, they stay home for today.

What is this?

They are special incense sticks.

Special incense sticks?

Care to buy any accessory?

This one suits Lady Va.

And this will look good on Saiyud.

They are one fuang each.

Two of them shall cost two fuang.

Perhaps I can only buy one.

Which one?

The smell is pungent. What are they for?

They can arouse physical desire.

Light it before bed, and your husband shall become spirited to have children.

Are you not interested?

- No, thank you. - All right.

Noi! Noi! Noi!

- What is it, Ngiam? - Muen Vorachai

told Jerm to dig up bamboo shoots, and a snake bit him!

Jerm was bitten by a snake?!

Yes! Hurry! Get in the boat with me!

How is Jerm? Is he badly hurt?!

Someone has helped him! I shall take you there! Come!

Yes, yes.

Is Jerm safe?

Someone has helped him, but I do not know how he is now.

Our clan

has served as nobles for generations.

We are here before our ancestors,

so pledge your oath, my children.

I shall be a good person,

putting the welfare of others

before my own.

What?! It is most difficult!

Am I supposed to be an enlightened Arahant?

I am merely a human, Father!

It is not difficult, Chai. We shall be like Father and Mother.

It is a difficult life

to be born into this clan.

You must do it, no matter how difficult it is.

Repeat my words at once.

- I shall be a good person, putting - I shall be a good person, putting

- the welfare of others before my own. - the welfare of others before my own.

I shall be the servant of this land

and uphold the well-being of its citizens.

Are servants of the land civil servants?

I do not wish to do it!

You do not wish to do anything good.

Will you live your life only caring about cockfighting?

You unworthy son.

Chai.

Your father is angry now.

Pledge your oath, so your father shall forgive you.

- I shall be the servant of this land - I shall be the servant of this land

- and uphold the well-being of its people. - and uphold the well-being of its people.

Father, Mother, you made me feel

that if I

do not live the life you have expected of me,

I am not worthy of being your child.

Get off on this dock.

What is this place? Why is it this quiet?

Hurry up.

Jerm is right there. Someone has helped him! Go!

Yes.

Jerm!

Jerm!

Jerm!

Jerm!

I am Jerm's wife. Where is he now?

Let me go…

Come here! Come!

Muen Vorachai.

What is it you intend to do to me, sir?

I have taken your parents in,

and I took care of you.

Your life is mine.

Om. With this magic,

I shall conjure the amoria bloom.

You shall forget who your parents are.

You shall forget all your duties.

You shall cry out in anguish.

Nothing shall break your bond.

You shall be consumed by lust

burning in your chest!

Om. With this magic,

I shall conjure the amoria bloom.

Pansaeng shall fall deeply for Chavala.

He shall yearn for her and desire her.

He shall beg to be with her.

He shall lie with her. He shall madly crave her.

No power shall protect him from my magic.

He shall long for nothing but her.

Om. Sawaha.

Noi! Where are you?!

Noi!

Noi, where are you?!

Noi!

Noi!

Noi!

Noi!

Where are you?!

Va! Va!

- Chai. - Va.

Noi has been missing for three days.

Noi? What happened?

The servants suspected that

she went into the woods to find the nourishing herbs.

With your belly that heavy, why must you go, Noi?

I am asking for you and your people's help finding her.

Certainly.

Tian! Laor!

Where are they?

Tian! Laor!

Where are you?! Come help me!

- Noi! - Noi!

- Noi! - Noi!

- Noi! - Noi! Where are you?!

- Noi! - Noi!

Noi!

- Noi! - Noi!

- Noi! - Noi!

- Noi! - Noi!

Noi!

Noi!

Where are you, Noi?!

- Noi! - Noi!

Noi!

Noi!

- Noi! - Noi!

- Noi! - Noi!

Noi!

- Noi! - Noi!

- Noi! - Noi!

- Jerm! - Jerm!

You must stay strong!

Noi! Where could you be?!

Aon.

I want to die!

Jerm.

Why must she leave me by myself?

Noi…

Amoria blooms look identical to pandans

that Chavala uses to brew tea every day.

Tomorrow, I shall lure everyone out of the house.

Your duty

is to plant amoria blooms in place of pandans.

Once they drink the tea,

our plan shall succeed.

And is there no letter today?

Va went to the market yesterday and did not return home last night.

What? She has not returned until now?

Yes, sir. The rain was pouring all night.

With such rain, no boat was able to travel the river.

Your lady has gone missing, and yet you remain so unmoved, Laor?!

- Sir. - What is happening, sir?!

Sir!

What was that, Laor?

Va was at the market,

and people were walking around all night. How could there be any danger?

Aon was there as well.

He regards Aon as the danger.

Is he jealous?

Yes, he is!

This one, My Lady?

Traitor!

- Dear. - Sir.

After all I have done for you!

Dear…

Was it so pleasant to spend the night together?!

Dear.

The rain was pouring last night. The storm--

With so many people in the market, how could you two be so intimate?!

You humiliated me, Aon!

Intimate? We did not do such thing, sir.

I now realize what adulterers look like!

Are you scolding me, dear?

I did not do anything wrong.

Do not ever show your face again,

or I shall kill you!

Dear…

You, come here.

- Come here! - Dear! What is this?

Dear. Dear.

Dear. Stop.

Dear, please stop!

Do you truly think Aon and I have committed adultery?

I did no such thing. It was all just your assumptions.

Yes! It must be all in my head!

And who made me assume that?

The wind was too strong yesterday.

No one would take their boats out. That is why I did not return home.

Then why did you not return before the storm?!

I had to arrange the goods and make the list!

Could Aon not do anything by himself?!

Has your recent resentment toward me

stemmed from jealousy?

Jealousy?

You were the one who betrayed my trust!

No. Come here. We shall return home!

Dear! Please wait!

Dear!

From now on, do not go to the market again.

You shall only stay home. Do you understand?

Sir, this may help you feel better.

Last night,

during the storm, many people were there to keep their goods dry.

You can ask them yourself.

I was a fool to have welcomed you into my life!

It was arrogant of me to think I was in control,

but I could not control anything!

It was all because of you!

Sir!

You are a monster! You are the devil!

You have ruined my life.

You have destroyed my focus, and I could not do any work!

What is wrong with you?! Why are you always frustrated?!

My heart is now burning,

but my body is burning hotter.

Sir.

What are you doing?

It hurts. Please let me go. Let go!

Being far from you is painful!

Being near you is also painful.

But if I am

this close to you, how would it feel?

Sir! Sir!

Sir! You are not this kind of person!

Sir!

Sir!

Perhaps this is who I truly am!

What you did

was no different than what Chai did to Saiyud.

He never asked her

nor sought her consent.

He only imposed himself upon her!

I hate this feeling.

And I most despise a person such as this!

I…

How could you become this monster?!

How could you do this to me?

I gave this magic to you.

Protect it with your life.

If one day you are consumed by lust

- and let yourself be entangled with women, - Sir!

- may every bone in your body - Sir! Sir!

- shatter. - Sir!

- May your every muscle - Sir!

- burn like fire. - Sir!

- May your spirit be torn - What is happening to you?!

- and descend into hellfire. - Sir!

Sir!

Sir! Sir!

You must remain unharmed!

Is there anyone outside?! Help me!

Sir! Sir!

Sir! Sir!

Sir! Sir!

Sir.

Is anyone there?!

Pansaeng is surely facing illness from amoria bloom.

He shall die without our effort.

How long shall it be?

Master! Please come out and help me!

My wife has been missing for ten days, Master.

She is long dead.

Perhaps we should visit Noi's grandmother

to see if Noi is there with her.

Does the house spirit follow you, My Lady?

Saiyud! Do not scare me.

Aon! What was that?

I do not know, My Lady.

- Hey! - Sir, why are you here?

Did you secretly board the boat with us?

I would never betray you, Khun Saengplarn.

Do you truly bear no affection for Aon?
