The blood ruby, the source of your power.

Why did you spit it out?

This blood ruby is not my power

but a venom which I shall grant to King Intawong.

I heard of the wildlife aid project. I wanted to help in some way.

Are you interested in buying some of my valuables?

Especially this piece. Please accept it.

(Previously)

What's the matter, Dad?

What did you do to him?

She's here. She's here to make us pay.

Who is she, dear?

The serpent goddess.

(The Venom's Tale)

(The Venom's Tale)

Yaimai, set your mind at ease.

If the curse can be placed, it can also be lifted.

How, Sudkhet? We fled our village to Bangkok,

yet still she followed us here.

That's true.

Sudkhet.

- I'm going back home. - Yaimai!

Have you thought this through?

The villagers won't be pleased if they know you're coming back.

It's my home, too! My dad is the village headman.

Some might leave us alone out of respect for him.

Moreover, Venerable Grandfather Pha is there.

Maybe, he can save me from the serpent goddess.

Right. The venerable grandfather can definitely do that.

It was his amulet that saved you back then.

We're coming home.

Hey,

should I tell Sarat?

Don't!

He can never know.

Why not?

I don't want him to be in trouble

because of me.

What if he calls?

Well, don't pick up!

I'm turning off my phone, you too.

Okay.

(Power off)

(Vibharam Hospital)

You are a man of great virtue and reverence.

I'm here to warn you to be careful

because an enemy from your past life

has returned to take your life.

Who are you?

Who I am doesn't matter.

I come to warn you and everyone involved in the ritual.

What ritual?

The ritual you ordered Anyawadee, the serpent goddess, burned

to rid your son of her.

and to protect your kingdom from impending disasters

that may follow the affair between humans and the serpent goddess,

as the royal astrologer predicted.

I can't remember the past life.

But if it affects me and other people involved,

then, I would like to fix it somehow.

At the very least, I'd like to ask for forgiveness

from my enemy in the past life.

Can you give me any advice?

All shall be free only when the serpent goddess

abandons her quest for revenge and moves on to the next life.

All I can do now is to warn you

that the karma from your previous life

has caught up with you now.

Dad.

Sarat.

Mom, I...

Your dad...

It suddenly appears all over my arms.

It looks like

Snake scales.

The serpent goddess has come to make us pay.

I fall ill because in the past I destroyed her life.

My illness is due to my bad karma.

- Hello, doctor. - Hi, everyone.

Let's see, the bleeding in his respiratory tract has stopped.

His lung and brain x-rays show no abnormalities.

Having done these, now we need a thorough exam

to find the bleeding source.

This is a good sign, though,

that the bleeding has stopped.

- Yes. - Okay.

Still, his condition needs to be closely monitored.

Okay.

Is Dad's skin condition related to this, doctor?

- Skin condition? - Here.

What condition?

When did this happen?

Nurse, did you see it last night?

No, sir.

It happened just this morning.

I'll refer you to a dermatologist and have him examine you.

- Please excuse me. - Okay.

Thank you.

Don't worry, you will get better in no time.

I'm all right.

We all will die one day.

It's only sooner or later,

nobody can escape.

It's our son I'm worried about.

Don't let the serpent goddess take you again, Sarat.

I don't know how I'd live without you.

Rest easy, Mom.

If the serpent goddess truly exists,

she's not going to hurt me just yet.

I will forgive you

only when

those who have wronged me suffer for what they did!

Anyawadee, the serpent goddess, and that Anyanee

look strikingly similar.

Anyanee seems like a normal human being

with flesh and blood just like us.

If the serpent goddess has been praying for hundreds of years,

she would have the merit and the power

to transform into human like us.

(Edge of a forest in a suburb.)

Freeze! Don't move!

Hands in the air! Stop!

Careful. Come here.

Freeze! Don't move!

Call for back up to take these animals in advance.

Also bring these three perpetrators in.

I'll interrogate them myself.

We need to find the one behind all this.

Roger that, Captain.

We're screwed.

I'm confident the news won't affect anything, sir.

You see,

my men will never rat me out.

Yes. Goodbye, sir.

- Boss, we have a situation. - Yes?

Kla called. The police got our men.

Let's go.

- Hey, sergeant. - Yes?

Arrange officers to monitor them around the clock.

Don't lose sight of them.

I don't want another incident.

Captain, do you think

that the serpent goddess will come for them?

Better safe than sorry.

- I'm spooked. - Hey, sergeant.

If the goddess does come,

don't forget to ask for lotto numbers.

The what now, Captain?

Go on, sergeant. Keep an eye on them.

Yes, sir.

There are guards.

So what?

We can just kill them.

Stay your hand, Kochakin

I don't want the humans to see us too often,

it might ruin our plan.

Consider this my mercy,

it's not their time yet.

(Crime Suppression Division)

I heard that those traffickers you caught recently

wouldn't give up any names.

Yes, deputy.

They pleaded guilty to all charges and did not name anybody.

Whoever behind this must be very powerful.

I think so.

Based on my observation,

they wouldn't confess

for fear of endangering their own family.

Don't worry, sir.

I'll track down whoever behind this.

Good, I trust you with this case.

If you need anything, just let me know.

Thank you very much, sir.

(Captain Patavee)

Yes, Captain Patavee?

I need to talk to you.

Can we meet?

Why should I do that?

Oh, you definitely want to.

What if I say

I suspect the serpent goddess

to be involved in the death of the wildlife traders?

You believe in the serpent goddess, right?

Why do you ask?

I didn't believe it at first.

However, from the autopsy report of the cell victims,

their deaths share similarities with the great serpent cave victims.

According to the autopsy, inside the bodies,

they also found a large amount of venom.

And...

Here.

This footage is from a station's CCTV...

where I've just locked up our new suspects.

Do you see women in ancient clothing?

They look and dress similar

to the woman I saw from the footage in the first station

where the victims were killed inside their cell.

Kamyadfah!

I'm positive that the serpent goddess did it

from the moment I've seen her with my own eyes.

Do you remember what I said?

The goddess may be so powerful

that she can transform into human just like us.

Are you saying it's Anyanee?

Yes.

If she's really human,

why would she be afraid of my Four-faced Brahma ring?

Get your hand off me.

You're scared of something?

Does my ring bother you?

When I grabbed her arm,

she seemed to be in pain.

Then I saw snake scales appearing on her face.

Anyanee is the serpent goddess in disguise, I'm sure of it.

(Pha Mo E Dang)

Dad.

Dad.

Uncle Sang.

Dad.

Yaimai.

Dad.

Ah, dear child.

Getting homesick after just a few days in Bangkok?

Why didn't you call ahead? I could have picked you up.

She was anxious so we flew here

and hopped on a bus home, Uncle.

Anxious?

Anxious about what?

The serpent goddess followed you to Bangkok?

Yes, Dad.

I don't want to sit around,

waiting to become a snake like she cursed.

I invited Sudkhet to come back here

just in case we can find a way to lift it.

You poor girl.

Actually, only three months left

and Yaimai will turn 25.

The goddess said once Yaimai turns 25 years old,

she will become a servant snake

of the goddess permanently.

I don't want to become a snake.

I don't want to be under her power.

Don't be afraid.

We will do our best to help you.

Dad, where's mom?

Your mom has been observing the precepts

in hope to dedicate merit to the serpent goddess.

Mom.

Yaimai.

Mom, you face hardship because of me.

It's all right.

I will do anything

to help my daughter.

If the serpent goddess

demands my life in exchange for yours,

I'll gladly give it to her.

Mom,

you don't have to do that.

It's my own karma.

I have to figure this out myself.

If I still have any merit left,

it will set me free from the curse.

Oh, Yaimai.

Venerable Grandfather.

It's good that you think so.

Where there's suffering

and a cause of that suffering,

you must resolve at its cause.

Misery stems from your past actions

which affects you in this life.

What already happened cannot be amended.

You should observe the precepts

so the good karma

can offset the misery and its severity.

Amen.

Tonight is a full moon.

You must observe the precepts

and stay within the temple.

No matter what happens,

do not leave the temple area.

Yes.

How's your dad?

He's just asleep.

My mom had been here all day.

She's just left.

Stay strong.

Thank you, buddy.

Wait, what happened to him?

Whatever happened to my dad,

he said it's his bad karma

that he once did to...

The serpent goddess?

Yes.

Right before he got sick,

what happened, Sarat?

Anyanee paid him a visit at the company

to show him a ruby.

Shortly after that,

my dad started coughing and bleeding from his mouth and nose.

So I took him to the hospital.

I think Anyanee did this.

I'm certain she's not human like us.

We should find a way to stop her from hurting more people.

Why did she hurt his dad?

This is what we need to find out.

Your dad might not be the only victim.

I think it's every one of us

who is involved with Anyanee.

What kind of a girlfriend are you?

You don't know anything personal about him.

He broke up with me.

What?

No need to get your hopes up.

I still love him.

Get over yourself.

Just so you know, I'm not into you.

I only talk to you because of the serpent goddess issue.

you're just my informant as well.

Well, sorry to disappoint,

an informant like me wouldn't have any intel for you.

Perhaps, I even know more than you do.

That's why you called me,

right, captain?

Yaimai.

Yaimai.

Yaimai.

Yaimai.

Sarat.

Don't follow me.

Leave me alone.

Yaimai!

Yaimai.

Yaimai.

What's the matter?

A snake!

Help me.

I don't want to become a snake.

Help me. I don't want to be a snake!

I don't want to become a snake!

Yaimai!

Sarat, what is it?

I dreamed of Yaimai, Mom.

Yaimai? Who is it?

She's a dancer who performed at the antique auction.

She's the one I always dream about.

A dancer?

Chaiyawong seems to be interested in a dancer in the middle.

Her name is Maneewan.

I curse you,

may you become a snake as I did.

Dad.

Honey, are you okay?

I just had a vision of a dancer in an ancient city

where I ruled. She was attacked by the goddess.

The royal dancer in my vision

looks just like that dancer at the auction.

Her name was Maneewan.

Dad, do you think it's possible

that Yaimai is Maneewan reincarnated?

Based on my vision,

you two must have shared an intimate relationship.

Otherwise, the goddess wouldn't have been furious with her.

What's more,

she had been cursed by the serpent goddess.

A curse?

(The Cobra Goddess Shrine)

Yaimai.

Yaimai.

The person you're looking for isn't here.

When did you get here?

I saw nobody when I got here.

I've been here for a long time.

I'm looking for Yaimai.

She's suffering

just like me.

Misery from your past actions

which you and your father

did to Anyawadee, the serpent goddess,

has caught up with you in this life.

Both your dad and your lover from the past

are experiencing the misery

from the vengeance of Anyawadee.

What should I do?

It all depends on you.

Only you

can help your loved ones.

(Reciting Buddhist chant)

Do you really think

you'd stand a chance against my power?

Not a chance.

Yaimai, stay strong.

Yaimai, don't give up.

Everyone loves you.

We fight for you. You must be strong.

Don't let evil overcome you.

Yaimai!

We can't do anything else right now.

Sudkhet, Kampang, let's pray for her.

You arrogant humans.

The serpent goddess!

How dare you defy my power?

Concentrate,

Yaimai.

Focus.

Meditate.

- Sudkhet. - What do we do?

Did you lock up?

- Yes, Uncle. - Are you sure?

The serpent goddess!

Maneewan,

you shall become my servant snake!

- Yaimai. - Yaimai.

- Oh, no. Yaimai. - Yaimai.

Yaimai.

Yaimai.

Yaimai, how are you?

Are you feeling better?

I'm okay.

I'm glad you're okay.

Venerable grandfather saved you.

Thank you, Venerable Grandfather.

Yaimai, we have survived another full-moon night.

At least, we confirmed that

the venerable grandfather's spell does work.

The Buddha and his disciples saved my daughter.

You're lucky this time,

Maneewan.

Next time,

you won't be so lucky.

What's up?

Thanks for coming.

It's okay.

So, how's your dad?

- We don't know the cause yet. - Really?

My dad is convinced that what happened

is due to what he did to the serpent goddess.

The serpent goddess.

Look, you may think I'm superstitious,

but all of this...

Hear me out,

the deaths at the great serpent cave,

the deaths in a holding cell,

my dad's illness,

Yaimai being possessed,

they are all connected.

Now, I believe

that the serpent goddess did this.

Well, all right.

What are you going to do?

I will find a way to prove it.

How exactly?

Here, come with me.

(IPD: Inpatient Department)

It's Wisarut's house.

Don't tell me that

you think Anyanee is the serpent goddess in disguise.

That's what we're here to prove.

We didn't make an appointment,

would she be home?

Chaiyawong.

At long last,

he has come.

What are you going to do, goddess?

Welcome.

Miss Anyanee is waiting for you.

Right.

How does she know we're here?

From the CCTV, maybe.

You stood by and watched me burned alive.

You shall pay for what you did, Chaiyawong!

Anyawadee.

(Next episode)

Did you just call me Anyawadee?
