Original subtitles

Tree nymph or sea spirit

coming out to greet you.

I promise I'll get you back home.

I have a mission

I need to properly take care of.

Soul-bound stone?

Your island sure is full of secret items.

Not to mention…

Sai?

The stone has shattered.

It's called Paradise Cave, but inside, it feels like a hidden realm.

Why are these things in this cave? It's like someone used to live here.

Ominous sign.

Here's to the first piece

of the Black Ruby Mask!

PARADISE CAVE

What is this map of?

I'm here to hunt for treasure.

Duang!

What?

I bet your grandpa drew these pictures.

Looks just like a couple.

I knew I'd find you here.

Oh, right.

Is the woman in these drawings your grandmother?

No idea.

I've never seen her face.

Even Headman Praow can't remember his mom's face.

That woman's like a wave

that made Duang fall in love,

only to disappear back into the sea.

Dad never told me about that.

Your dad doesn't know a thing.

Even now, I still don't know

if she left Duang or if she's dead.

I guess I was lucky

to have my parents when I was growing up.

Being this gloomy isn't like you.

Just three seconds.

What are you guys doing, Chalarm?

-Sorry, Yiiwa. You okay? -I'm fine.

Plew, don't stomp around like that in here.

Oh.

Guys, look at what Grandpa Duang wrote here. See?

"People started hearing calls from the sea."

"Before long, the locals began acting strangely."

"The island was filled with rage and conflict."

"No one would listen to anyone."

That sounds like what's happening now on Laydao Island.

That's true.

Keep reading.

"Disasters kept happening,

leading to the bride of the Sea God ritual."

Does that mean what happened to us

has happened before?

It's definitely a curse.

If we don't do the ritual, will the islanders stay mad?

Big Bro Duang made a compromise.

A compromise?

I dedicate this merit to the women who were sacrificed.

Seriously, will repairing the shrine

really stop them from doing the bride ritual?

Poe, they've been doing it out of ignorance,

thinking it will protect them from disasters.

Nothing can stop a monsoon, right?

A monsoon is a force of nature.

The Sea God

grounds the islanders,

keeping anger and greed from taking over.

This is Sinthu. He'll be looking after this shrine from now on.

"We can't change

anyone's faith or beliefs,

but we can save families

from losing their loved ones for no reason."

"The cure for ghost fever isn't physical."

"It's spiritual. You have to calm people's minds."

Rung, buddy. Can I see it?

Even though I can't read,

I still recognize Duang's handwriting.

So how do we cure it?

Didn't Grandpa Duang leave any notes, Rung?

At least we know there's still a way to fix it.

Maybe the answer is hiding somewhere.

That's true.

Then let me help you too.

Me too.

What's wrong, Yii?

Look at you, standing here like a sad puppy.

Hey. Hey.

The real Yii would be shouting back at me by now.

Why are you standing there sulking?

Chalarm and Rung must be in love by now.

We're just in the way.

No way. You're overthinking it.

Chalarm's alone with Rung right now.

I need to go interrupt them.

-Hey. -Ow!

What now?

It's too late now. We got here too late.

Or should I just back off?

Why give up so easily?

They might just be testing the waters. It's not love yet.

Oh, come on. At least

you still have me.

We'll fight through this together,

share the joy, endure the pain.

Come on.

That's right!

How could we give up so easily? Our love must be fulfilled.

Yes!

So, if they're just starting to fall for each other,

we still have a chance to step in.

Step in how?

Just go ahead and confess your love first.

If they care, they'll definitely get swayed by that.

But what if they don't, Uncle?

See over there?

Just dive in headfirst.

It works wonders for heartbreak.

I think you're right, Uncle Poe.

Diving in headfirst?

Not that.

I mean, we need to set the mood

and just confess our love.

Yeah.

Star-Gazing Cliff!

The most romantic spot around here.

Right.

One, two, three, four.

They'll score for sure-- I mean, score a win!

As planned, I'll map out the path to Star-Gazing Cliff

and tie colored pieces of cloth as markers.

The map to the left side of the cliff

is for my buddy Rung

and Plew…

A map?

You're playing it cool, but you're actually spoiling me,

Mr. Iceberg?

And the map to the right side of Star-Gazing Cliff

is for Chalarm…

and Yiiwa.

This is yours.

-Thanks. -No problem.

Little Miss Rung probably begged to have this map drawn.

Chalarm…

I want you to know that

you've been the only one in my heart for as long as I can remember.

My heart's about to burst.

If Chalarm actually comes, will I dare to tell him?

You have to, Yiiwa. You can do it. Go for it.

Rung?

This is insane.

You sure move fast, Chalarm.

Wait, why does he smell like a monkey?

Hey.

Thanks for bringing me here.

-Me? -Yeah.

Didn't you ask Uncle Poe to draw this map?

No, I didn't.

The mood is set…

Time to level things up.

-Plew! -Yii! How did Rung

turn into a rodent?! I followed the map!

What kind of scheme is this, Uncle Poe?!

That was my first kiss!

Give me back my kiss.

-Come here. -You freak! You pervert!

Plew, you're so dead!

Come here!

-Help! -Stop running!

Help!

Is that why this area

is called Star Sea?

It feels like a dream.

Now I know why Grandpa likes it here.

If I were Grandpa Duang,

I'd choose to stay here too,

especially with the person I love.

A shooting star.

I really miss that angel up there.

When I was a kid,

my mom often brought me here to watch the stars.

Plew told me about your mom.

I'm so sorry.

She passed away when the twins were born…

so Dad and I wanted to care for them as best we could…

to make them feel loved,

even without Mom around.

My parents were the same.

They left on a long journey

and never came back to see me.

They probably don't want you to worry,

knowing you'll always remember the love

and bond you shared with them.

Your parents will always be in your heart.

Chalarm calling Handsome. Chalarm calling Handsome.

Rainbow, Monkey King,

Yiiwa, and Poe the Brave are all okay.

How are things over there?

-Chalarm! Chalarm! -Chalarm!

-Hey. Hey, wait. -Chalarm!

-I'll talk. -Chalarm?

-I'll talk to him! -Chalarm!

-What a pain! -Chalarm!

-Give it to me! -Wait.

-Hey! -Chalarm.

When are you guys coming back?

Chalarm!

Hello?

Chalarm. Oh?

The signal cut out, I guess.

Headman, that fortune teller named Plamuek is actually pretty accurate.

He predicted everyone would be safe.

Oh, come on. Fortune tellers are just guessers.

But as for the two of us,

we're definitely meant to be together.

-Wow. -I'm blushing.

Sai! You startled me.

Sai.

Why did the pendant suddenly become warmer?

Or does it have to do with you?

Hey!

Who are you guys?!

It's clear now!

Sai.

Are you from the Star Sea tribe?

I don't… know.

Sai, how can you not know--

So you can talk?

Why didn't you talk to me? So, are you from the Star Sea Tribe?

Rung!

Rung.

Sai, where are you going?

Back to… Paradise Cave.

Then why did you come here?

To ask for…

your help.

Rung, Chalarm sent me to get you for lunch.

Oh, okay. I'll be right there!

Then why won't you open the door?

Shoot. She's strong.

Rung?

What are you hiding?

Is it Mr. Pichai's mask?!

No! I'm hiding--

I'm not hiding anything. Nothing at all.

-Just go on ahead, Yiiwa. -I don't believe you.

Return the mask before they hunt Chalarm down! Rung!

-I said open the door. -I won't!

You won't open it?

She's too strong.

A new ship has sailed, I see.

Am I interrupting something?

-Whoa! -Get off me.

-It's not what you think. -It was just an accident.

Yeah, we're friends.

-Yes. -There's nothing wrong with that.

Well, what are you hiding?

Nothing.

Then why were you acting suspiciously?

I'm sure you're hiding something.

I'll find it no matter what.

Is it here?

What?

Sai was here just now. Listen.

Sai is from the Star Sea tribe.

The legends are true.

Don't jump to conclusions.

If Sai isn't a tourist,

she could just be a local with amnesia who got stranded on this island.

Tell me honestly.

You don't want to believe it

because you're afraid it's real, right?

Why do you care

so much about all this?

If Sai actually is from the legendary tribe,

it means everything I've believed in isn't just made up.

She might know about the Black Ruby Mask,

or she could even help the people who have ghost fever.

What if it turns out none of it is true?

I…

I'll stop believing in all supernatural stuff,

and I'll leave Laydao Island right away.

I promise.

I really promise.

What?

Do it like this.

What pose is this?

Bend down and look.

Hey.

You and me,

we've already made a heartfelt promise.

Okay?

If you're gonna hunt for the truth, have you packed your stuff yet?

Can you help me pack?

Here you go, basil stir-fried shrimp.

What would you like to order?

Can I take you to go, Mali?

-Ooh. -Wow.

I don't want to eat here.

So damn annoying.

If you still can't decide,

I'll go take care of other orders first, okay?

Wait, wait, dear.

Here's the thing.

I brought a gift for you. As soon as I saw this,

I immediately thought of you, Mali.

So I went all out for you,

because I love you with all my heart.

It's 100% percent authentic, Mr. Pichai.

It almost cost me my life

to bring it up from the depths of the sea.

Every detail is exquisite, perfect for the woman you desire.

Look at all its beautiful curves.

-I don't want you to miss this gem. -Sold!

Take a stack.

You're an easy sell.

Hey, hey. Just one stack.

-Or do you not want any of it? -One stack it is.

It's perfect for you. Really gorgeous.

-Pin it in! -Pin it in! Pin it in!

-Pin it in! -Take it or leave it?

Fine, fine. I'll accept your gift.

Woo-hoo!

-Pin it in! Pin it in! -Go ahead.

Gorgeous.

So lovely.

I don't want just the gift.

Can I have the giver too?

It's really hot today, isn't it?

I love it. I just love this kind of heat.

Hurry up, Plew! The coast is clear.

I am moving as fast as I can!

Why do you want me to break into the study?

If Chalarm finds out, he'll scold me for sure.

I can smell trouble. Rung must be hiding something.

You scared me!

Well, well.

That smell is just my own stink.

Good thing you're here.

It's time for revenge. Come here.

Uncle Poe!

Your stargazing plan was a total flop, I'm telling you.

Not really.

No! It was definitely a flop! What kind of plan was that?

Hey, hey. Slow down.

I trekked through the jungle

to get that important thing from the boat over there,

and not a single thank you!

-Think you're smart, Uncle? -Coconut King,

-slow down. Don't do it. -Wanna try me?

-Don't. I'm way older than you. -Plew.

Why on earth

is Chalarm taking Rung into the woods alone?

-Let's follow them. -Yeah.

I dodged a bullet there.

Whoa, we're much deeper in than last time.

Oh? Chalarm. Chalarm, wait.

The footprints lead this way.

-What are you doing? -I'm over here.

Come.

Sorry.

Did Grandpa come all this way to draw these?

Hey, got your phone with you?

Why?

Can I borrow it? I wanna take photos and videos for later.

-What about yours? -I don't have it on me.

Please. Can I borrow it?

You never miss a chance to make content, do you?

It's not for content. I'm just

gathering evidence to prove my theory.

We shouldn't let greedy people

find out about a place like this and come hunting for treasure.

But I don't think your grandpa

came into a cave like this just to doodle.

-Is he trying to say something? -Is he trying to say something?

-Chalarm! -Rung!

-Plew and Yiiwa? -Chalarm!

-Rung! -Wait.

-How did they know we were here? -Chalarm, can you hear me?

Rung! Rung! Chalarm!

Let's do this.

You go hold those two off, because if anyone else is around,

Sai definitely won't come out.

But you have to wait for me here.

There are many tunnels here.

If we split up, you could get trapped in here.

You know,

I'm not playing cavewoman without you.

-Chalarm! -Rung!

-Chalarm! Whoops. -Rung.

-Chalarm! -Hey! Yii!

-Chalarm. -Chalarm?

-How'd you get here? -We didn't do anything.

No. Nothing at all.

-Chalarm. -Chalarm.

-What? -Hey. It's…

Please don't misunderstand me.

-You're the only one I have eyes for. -Yeah.

You two… if you don't use protection and something happens, you'll be in trouble.

If Aunt Mali finds out, it'll be a big deal.

-Understood. -Yeah.

-Hey! I said we didn't do it! -I said we didn't do it!

Okay, fine. You guys didn't do it.

Then wait here. And while you wait,

don't be all over each other again. Got it?

-Hey. -It's not what you think.

Wow.

Sai. You scared me.

Are you telling me to go over there?

I promised Chalarm that I'd wait around here.

Oh?

Lukpad?

"Actress 'LP'

spotted with socialite 'O', son of mega-business owner 'AKR'

and future fiancé of the granddaughter of a shipping tycoon."

With hints this specific, they might as well drop the full names.

This socialite 'O''s fashion style

looks so familiar.

Very familiar.

Is that Itthi?

Oh, yeah, that's Mr. Itthi.

-No, no. -How dare he. What do you mean, no?

These days, everyone copies celebs' styles, sir.

Come to think of it,

they aren't even tied down yet, and he's already messing around like this.

If they get married, Miss Pear will be stressed for the rest of her life…

Hey…

Sai, what is this chamber?

There's so much stuff.

Can I take a look inside?

My grandpa has antiques like this too.

It's a limited edition.

Whoa, it must be around 40 years old.

Wait, 40 years? Sai.

How do you even have these?

It's been… a long time.

From watching a child… grow up…

and start a family,

to becoming…

the island's leader.

Wait.

Sorry, how long have you been in here?

And how do you look so young?

I… can't… remember… anything.

But…

I remember… you.

Wait a minute, Sai. So you've seen me before?

Does that mean

you were the one helping me?

Sai, you've been watching over me all this time?

So that beautiful singing voice

was actually yours?

You're just like a normal person.

I'm sorry. I mean, I never thought in my life

I'd meet someone from the Star Sea tribe,

standing right here in front of me like this.

But honestly,

you didn't have to hide like this.

I'm trapped.

I can't remember… anything.

I don't know… what day or time it is.

It's as if… I'm waiting for… someone,

but I don't know…

who it is.

Oof, that stings.

That must be painful, right, Sai?

Just having my grandpa control me is already driving me crazy.

Sai, from now on,

you have me and Chalarm helping you uncover the truth.

Thank… you.

You and Chalarm…

love each other…

right?

Come on, Sai. What are you talking about?

Is it that obvious?

You get it, right?

We're not at "love" yet,

but it's definitely way past "like," you know?

Come on, Sai. Asking that must mean

you've been in love before, right?

So cute and bubbly. It doesn't match his look at all.

Put everything back in place after you're done.

-Ah! -He's back!

Are you trying to compete with my business?

-No, no. Not at all. -No, no.

We're not doing that.

-Don't hurt us! Run! -I'm out of here!

-Hurry! -Wait!

Now that you guys are here,

I'm in a good mood today, so free fortune-telling, no catch.

Sit down!

-Okay, okay. -We're sitting.

I can't sense anything.

You two are way too young.

But someone brought home a cursed item.

-Back off! -Open your mouth.

-Hey, this is no time to play. -Guys.

Today, Chef Rung is going to show off her skills!

Wow, must be such a good homemaker!

You almost burned down Grandpa's house last time.

Have you learned nothing?

Hey, watch your mouth. Listen.

You need to practice burning--

practice cooking to get better at it.

Yeah.

I'd improve with a good coach.

I was born ready for that, Chef Rung.

Well, actually…

I've got my eyes on someone.

And who's that?

-Me? -Yeah.

-Hey, help me prep the fish. -What?

Help me prep the fish over here.

You're dumping the work on me.

I'll help Yiiwa wash the vegetables.

Hey. Whoa.

Plew!

What?

Hey! Plew!

Why is the stone glowing?

Oh.

That is Big Bro Duang's magic trick!

Let me see. Wow.

That's invisible ink. Grandpa showed me when I was a kid.

It glows when it contacts water.

This sharpening stone must have been coated with it.

It's made from glowing root sap

found only on Paradise Island.

Hey, what kind of stone is that? So beautiful.

It's a sharpening stone.

Really, Poe?

Buddy, you hyped it up so much.

I want to see it for myself now.

But something so rare must be hard to find.

-Poe. -What's up?

-Come here. -What?

I think Grandpa Duang must have left

a puzzle which leads to an item for us.

We have to find the glowing root first,

because it might lead us

to some kind of clue, right?

But I really don't know

where the glowing root

is located.

Oh?

Buddy.

I have complete faith in you. I know you'll find it eventually.

Come on, let's huddle up.

-Alright, alright. Yeah! -Yeah!

Man…

Where am I supposed to look?

I've seen some marks here.

Where is it? Come on.

I can't find it.

Careful, Yiiwa.

Slow down, Rung.

Poe, what kind of route is this, buddy?

I'm exhausted.

-Hey, Uncle Poe. -Wait.

Hold on.

Uncle Poe, what kind of route is this? And where's that glowing root?

We've walked forever and haven't found a thing.

"Being alone is lonely."

"Come hike with me, sweetheart."

"True friends are hard to find…"

"And sane ones even harder."

Chalarm, you think I'm insane?

You said it yourself.

Wait a sec. Buddy.

Which way are you heading?

Here, I'll go this way. Follow the sound of the wild fowl, and we'll find it.

-If Poe goes left… -We'll go right.

-Let's go. -Follow me, guys.

-Hey, hey. Don't go there! -We'd just get lost if we follow him.

-You guys are so damn stubborn. -Go on, Plew.

-Listen to me. -Plew!

I said don't go that way.

We're not listening to you, Uncle Poe! Hurry, Plew.

Try to keep up.

Ugh, Chalarm, what's taking you so long--

-Plew! -Yiiwa!

Chalarm!

You guys! Rung!

Uncle!

Geez, no one caught me.

Are you okay, Uncle Poe?

Are you hurt?

Damn it. You didn't trust Poe the Brave,

but you trusted that monkey boy Plew instead?

Everywhere hurts, buddy.

You're finally here.

-Hunter Phu? -Hunter Phu?

Care for some coffee?

I had you do a sweep for the mask,

and you've gotten nowhere!

I'd be happy to advise you…

if you plan to go to Paradise Island

and the Star Sea waters.

Careful! That area is a sea maze.

If you don't know the route,

you could easily get lost or wreck your boat.

This is Gaolek.

He just joined my mask search team.

He said he used to be a crew member sailing the Star Sea.

From now on, we can't trust anyone easily.

Everyone

wants to get their hands on valuable treasure.

Don't worry. Anyone pulling tricks

will end up as fish food.

I'm making you head of the search team.

No matter how hard it is,

retrieve the mask!

Does it hurt?

Wow.

He's a pro.

-Ow. Ow… -Hang in there, Plew.

A stinging sting beats being dead.

Thanks.

By the way, what is this? It looks familiar.

The glowing root.

-The glowing root? -The glowing root?

-Wow, wow, wow. -May I?

We finally found it.

-That's it? -Whoa.

Hey.

Poe, buddy, smell it.

That's right. It's the real deal.

What Grandpa wrote down and drew…

Is true. You believe it now, don't you?

When heated, this glowing root

produces an essential oil.

Inhaling it

makes you feel calm and relaxed.

Decades ago, when the ghost fever outbreak hit,

it was this glowing root that cured everyone.

It's a totally rare item,

used for painting and healing wounds, and it can cure illnesses too.

The villagers now have the cure.

Take it.

-Wow. -Accept it.

He's handsome and kind.

-Come on. -Go ahead, Chalarm.

Hunter Phu, thank you so much for giving us the root

and for showing us how to treat the ghost fever.

Hey, wait a second. Chalarm, don't tell me you're going back.

If you go back to Laydao now,

Pichai and his gang will definitely skin you alive.

But this is a matter of life and death for the locals.

What if one day this disease reaches our families

or the ones we love?

Nobody wants to see them suffer, right?

If I just sit here and do nothing,

I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life.

I'm coming with you.

Me too.

Fine, let's go.

Count me in.

"Both mask pieces will call to one another."

Like magnets attracting each other, huh?

Laydao Island must survive the ghost fever.

That courtesan. She must have been reborn in her body.

-She dared to deceive you, Boss. -She won't get away with this.

Swap out the treasure and keep it in a safe place.

But if you want to prove it, you have to catch the real culprit.

How can inanimate objects find their way back to each other?

Is there really something going on?

If sleeping alone makes you lonely,

come sleep next to me.

Botun… You really came back.

Have you ever heard the legend of the sea folk

rumored by the locals, Master?

So money matters more than feelings?

You're no different than other women.
