Original subtitles

It's really you.

I mean, we must have met each other before.

We're living in the 21st century.

Do people still say something like that to hit on a girl?

But I feel like I know you for real.

Hold on.

Chaiyawong.

Maneewan. You've been a thorn that pierce my heart in every life.

Are you still going to stay and shoot the documentary?

My team and I decide to stay in the village to finish the film.

Well, I'll leave that to your judgment then.

But I'm afraid you have to find another place to stay.

I don't want anyone dead in my house.

Boss, it's gold!

The serpent goddess!

(The Venom's Tale)

(The Venom's Tale)

Goddess.

Goddess.

Goddess, I've been waiting for you for so long.

No matter how many centuries have passed, I have to come back.

You two are wounded.

I'm good, goddess.

We're willing to die for you.

Goddess, you're so kind to us.

Finally, our goddess has returned.

It's been so long.

It's been 500 years

that I was trapped inside that statue alone.

To me, it feels like an eternity.

We always keep our hopes up to see our goddess again.

That's why we're still here, waiting for you until this day.

So am I.

Every day. Every night. I had been persistently praying

with hope that I would be out here and meet Chaiyawong again,

my dearest lover.

I am human.

I can no longer be with a beast like you.

He gave up on me

merely because I'm not of his kind.

He let them burn me alive

so I had to reveal myself as a snake

before the eyes of the whole town.

Those men locked my spirit up in the statue for hundreds of years.

From this moment on, I am free.

I will give them a taste of their own medicine.

Dear goddess, please consider.

If his heart still belongs to another

you will never have his love.

Maneewan,

the woman Chaiyawong loves so much.

Let's see.

If that wretch is to be cursed

and turned into my servant following my words 500 years ago,

how would Chaiyawong be?

Chaiyawong deserves the pain

he once inflicted on a beast like me.

Kampang.

What's wrong?

My eyes might have played a trick on me.

In a few months,

our daughter will turn 25.

Honey, do you remember what Venerable Grandfather said?

Remember my words.

Always be mindful of everything.

Keep making merit and pray for her.

"Her"? What do you mean?

It's your karma from a past life. She's coming for you.

Her nasty vengeance could harm you once you turn 25.

Considering his words,

if our daughter is doomed for misery like he warned,

then what should we do?

Maneewan.

No matter how many lives you live,

you can never escape my curse.

(Office of the Village Headman)

My body is burning up.

Yaimai!

Yaimai, what's going on?

What's happening?

It hurts. It hurts so much.

Why is she like this?

What's all this?

You can't help your daughter.

This woman

is the one Chaiyawong loved.

I curse her to become a beast,

to be my snake servant.

Who are you?

I'm descended from the deity you've worshiped for hundreds of years.

I'm the goddess who commands all the snakes in this land.

The serpent goddess.

The serpent goddess.

Yaimai.

- Yaimai. - Yaimai.

Goddess, please don't hurt her. I will give you anything you want.

I refuse. Whoever dares to hurt me

and break my heart,

they shall be doomed.

My poor daughter.

Dear serpent goddess.

Yaimai.

Please don't hurt my daughter.

It's too late.

From now on, on full moon nights,

Maneewan will turn into a snake.

- Yaimai. - Yaimai, my dear.

Yaimai!

Goddess, please spare her life.

Please take my life instead.

No!

Honey!

Your life cannot be traded for hers.

As soon as you turn 25,

you will entirely become my servant.

When the day comes,

I wonder if Chaiyawong will still have a heart for you.

Goddess, please don't hurt my daughter.

Yaimai, go find Venerable Grandfather Pha.

Just go. Hurry up!

Sudkhet!

No, Yaimai.

Yaimai!

Yaimai.

Hurry up. Let's go.

Is that Yaimai, the headman's daughter?

What is she running from?

No! Have mercy on me.

Hurry!

I have agonized for a long time,

seeing my man has his feelings for a lowly human like you

when he should have loved me alone.

You're my enemy, Maneewan.

I can't wait for the day

when Chaiyawong finds out that his lover turns into a snake.

He would be miserable just like me.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

You're so pathetic.

You lowly dancer.

You always know nothing.

All you do is acting innocently to attract his attention.

By the power of my curse,

I demand this woman to turn into my servant snake.

I don't want to be a snake.

Stop it, Anyawadee.

Phakam.

Finally, our paths have crossed again.

Venerable Grandfather, please help me.

Let go of your vengeance, serpent goddess.

No matter how many centuries you have been praying,

you can't deny the truth that you're a beast.

Although you cursed this woman to become one of your kind,

Prince Chaiyawong will never have a heart for you.

Shut up!

Unless you want to die foolishly like those sinners.

Can you spare her life for once, serpent goddess? I beg you.

Never!

You'd better get out of my way.

Phakam.

How dare you to stop me.

I shall destroy you.

Venerable Grandfather.

Yaimai.

Yaimai.

Yaimai.

Yaimai.

Yaimai.

Venerable Grandfather, what's happening?

One day you'll learn about it.

Don't!

Hey.

It's me. Don't be afraid.

Sarat.

Did something happen to you?

I asked Venerable Grandfather to stay here tonight.

I heard loud noise out there. So I followed it.

Then I saw Venerable Grandfather simply standing there,

but you passed out on the ground.

Can you tell me what's going on?

You didn't see anything else, right?

Well. Not really.

So what happened exactly? Did you get hurt or anything?

You can tell me.

It's nothing.

Yaimai? Is that you, my dear?

- Mom. - Yaimai.

- Yaimai. - Mom.

How are you?

Mom, I'm scared.

Don't be. We're here with you.

Did the serpent goddess hurt you?

The serpent goddess?

What does the serpent goddess have to do with this?

Since I came to the village, I keep hearing everyone mention her.

Can you tell me what happened?

Venerable Grandfather.

Venerable Grandfather, please help my daughter.

She has returned.

The power of her love and vengeance is so strong.

From now on, everyone who was involved

and the shared karma in a past life

will come together soon.

How do I help my daughter, Venerable Grandfather?

She should always wear a snake-protected amulet,

make merit, and pray for the goddess.

It can help lessen her grudge.

Let's go home.

Thank you for your help, Sarat.

No problem.

But aren't you going to tell me what happened for real?

You're not the only one who gets confused, Sarat.

We do, too.

Just keep in mind that the serpent goddess is not merely a legend.

She is real.

Let's go home, Yaimai.

Yaimai.

Are you okay?

Bodies of a businessman, geologist, huntsman and crews were found

scattered outside and inside a cave.

What's strange is the condition of their bodies.

It is as if they were strangled until bones were completely crushed.

Some of them had huge bite marks, seemingly from giant snakes,

which caused their death.

Gosh. This must be the curse of the serpent goddess.

Of course. They intruded her cave.

What a disaster!

This is bound to happen, isn't it?

It sure is.

Why were they so ignorant? What would happen to us now?

They insulted the goddess.

Ma'am, I put money over here.

We're doomed.

She must be angry.

(Dead bodies found at the great serpent cave)

That's terrifying.

Where do our son go filming his documentary?

It's Sisaket.

Call him now.

Sure.

It's Mom.

Hi, Mom.

Sarat, where are you?

I'm going to the scene at the cave.

Come on, Sarat.

Come home as soon as possible.

Don't get involved.

You know nothing of it.

Dad, I'm not totally on my own.

I'm with my crew.

Moreover, there are a lot of police officers at the scene

as well as reporters.

The incident happened a while ago.

I'm certain there's nothing to worry about.

Promise me. You will never enter that cave.

Dad. Dad?

Dad, I have a bad signal. I'll call you back later.

Sarat.

Sorry, your dial number is...

I only use this tactic when my wife tells me to go home, boss.

I never thought you would use it with your parents.

Enough with it. Hurry up.

Help me!

There's a survivor there. This way.

Help me! Help!

The serpent goddess!

Can you tell us what happened?

- Help me! - Please say something.

Goddess. Goddess.

- Help me! - What goddess?

The serpent goddess.

"The serpent goddess"?

Goddess. The serpent goddess.

She hurt me.

She hurt me.

I'm scared. Please help me.

We should meet at the airport.

Please get a car for me.

I don't need a makeup artist or a hairstylist.

I can take care of myself.

Don't forget to print out information on the Phanom Dong Rak mountain range

and records of those poachers and hunters in the area.

Okay. See you.

Richa.

Why are you in such a rush?

It's urgent, Dad. Every news agency is heading to Sisaket.

I have to postpone this week's program

to cover the story about the dead poachers there.

Among the victims, there's also a foreign businessman.

Oh? Is it that bad?

See? You don't know anything

because you spent too much time with your girls.

Come on. Allow me to indulge myself once in a while.

In my life, there's only one woman that is dearest to me.

It's you, my beautiful daughter.

I have to go now, Dad.

Wait a minute.

Here.

A Four-Faced Brahma ring.

To protect you from danger.

I'm going there for the news. I won't put myself in danger.

But you're going to the forest.

Right? You need a charm to protect you from serpents.

Keep it with you. It will keep bad things and danger away.

Thank you. See you, Dad.

Bye.

Goddess.

Kamyadfah is coming.

Kamyadfah?

She did everything to make Chaiyawong fall for her.

She even conspired with General Norasingh

to burn me alive.

They wanted Chaiwayong to see

and prove that I'm not human.

No!

Well, this news must be huge.

Otherwise, Saricha Thanarungruangrit wouldn't be in the field herself.

That's right. But what's more important is Sarat.

My man is there too.

What happened, Pong? The engine is off all of a sudden.

Can we make it on time?

Gosh. Why is there smoke everywhere?

I have no idea. I don't think we will make it.

Come on. What should we do?

I can't believe I'm in the middle of nowhere with...

How can we cover the news now?

There you are.

Has your car broken down?

Excuse me. Are you heading to the great serpent cave?

Well, who would have thought

that a news reporter from a famous channel is here.

Great! You recognize me,

even when we're in the middle of nowhere like this.

That's good. So I won't have to introduce myself.

May I go with you?

Praew, get our belongings and hop in his car.

There. Stay at the back.

Hey. Can you drive nicely?

Every day I was trapped inside the statue,

I've been thinking about how those humans treated me.

My heart never knows peace.

The time has come for them to pay me with their lives.

If you do that, all the merit you've made for years will be gone.

A chance for you to be born again as a human might be lost.

I don't mind being born as a beast for many lives to come.

Those wretched humans must die by my hands.

I will get Chaiyawong back to me for an eternity.

What can you do, my goddess, if his heart belongs to Maneewan

and fate has brought them together?

Maneewan.

My archenemy.

Goddess, where are you going?

Chaiyawong has come to me again.

I have to go see him.

Goddess, how can you do so?

Hundreds of years have passed. humans have changed.

We look utterly different from them.

With virtues I have practiced for centuries

and with the power of my magic,

I'll make those humans

perceive me and both of you

as ones of their kind.

Let's go.

Boss, it really sends a chill down my spine.

Do you want me to start taking pictures?

Yes. Let's do our job.

Please have some mercy.

Serpent goddess,

If we have ever offended you,

please forgive us for once.

Please don't bestow misfortune and disasters to us.

Please don't punish us, goddess.

Let's pray together.

Hand this out.

I'm glad that we meet again.

Have we met before?

We met a very long time ago.

It's been so long

that you forgot about us.

Well.

I'm sorry. But I seem to have no memory of where we met

or when we did.

Anyway, what's your name?

Anyanee.

Please call me Anyanee.

Anyanee.

I feel familiar with this name.

Do you mean "Anyawadee"?

That's right.

Anyawadee.

I heard of Anyawadee from a folklore

which is about...

It doesn't matter.

Now that I'm here,

we have a plenty of time to get to know each other.

You will soon remember everything.

When the time comes,

you might wish that you shouldn't have known me at all.

Well.

I really don't understand what you're saying.

I'm talking about an unfaithful man

who did nothing but watched a woman he used to love

being burnt alive

just like a beast.

Do you remember that?

Boss?

I already took all the pictures, including hunted animals.

Do you need anything else?

Can you interview the villagers?

I want more information about the serpent goddess.

- Sure, boss. - I count on you guys.

Come on.

Sarat.

Anyanee.

Soon you'll have to keep your words once given to me.
