KINGDOM OF WAR
PART 2

PHITSANULOK, 1577 C.E.

Make way.

I am Lord Srithamorat of Srithep.

I have a matter to discuss
with Prince Naresuan.

Chaiburi:
HoId on a minute.

You shaII make way for me.

I am Lord Chaiburi.

You are to Iet me see
the prince first.

Srithamorat: My city is
more prestigious than yours.

Chaiburi:
But my city is more important.

- Srithamorat: Says who?
- Chaiburi: Everyone knows it.

Is that so?

We'II pIay rock-paper-scissors.
The winner enters first.

- Fine.
- Rock, paper, scissors... shoot!

Rock, paper, scissors... shoot!

Rock beats scissors.

I get to go in first.

But my city is stiII
more important than yours.

By the way,

which one is Prince Naresuan?

I don't know.

I've onIy heard mention of him,

but I've never seen him.

I think I know.

They caII him "The BIack Prince."

So who eIse couId he be?

I am Lord Srithamorat
of Srithep.

I surrender myseIf
and my city to you, Your Highness.

I, Lord Chaiburi of Chaiburi,

have aIso come to surrender.

I am Lord Racharangson of Mua.

Lord Srisainarong.

- Lord Sukhothai.
- Lord Kamphangphet.

I am Lord Senapimuk of Japan.

And I am Lord Rachamanoo.

Both:
We have onIy heard of you...

Srithamorat: but how were we to know
that you are Prince Naresuan?

Chaiburi: We have onIy heard
of your greatness, Your Highness.

Ong Dam:
What greatness?

That you Iearned the art of war
in Hongsawadee,

whiIe you were heId captive there.

Your skiIIs are unmatched.

- But I onIy wonder...
- What do you wonder?

If the skiIIs you Iearned
in Hongsawadee

can match those
of the Siamese.

Then you two shaII heIp me
prove that my skiIIs

are a worthy match for yours.

Since we are on the same side,

you shouId know my strengths

as I shouId know yours.

You go first.

- No, you.
- No, you first.

Both of you together.

Choose your weapons.

I shaII use this fIag.

Srithamorat:
We beIieve you now.

Chaiburi: Your Highness,
wiII you teach us to fight?

very weII. The skiIIs I Iearned
from the great monk Khan Shong,

I shaII pass on to you.

Thank you, Your Highness.

KINGDOM OF HONGSAWADEE, 1581 C.E.

( thunder crashes )

A royaI decree,

requesting your immediate departure
for Ayutthaya,

has been issued,
Your Highness.

( drums beating )

KINGDOM OF AYUTTHAYA

( woman screaming )

What are you waiting for?

FoIIow me.

A messenger has sent word
of the death of King Bayinnong.

- When did he die?
- Seven days ago.

He feII iII as he went into battIe
against the kingdom of Yakkai.

We have been ordered to return
to Hongsawadee

to attend the coronation
of Nandabayin.

I have caIIed you here

to take charge of Ayutthaya
in my absence

whiIe I am in Hongsawadee.

Father, I do not feeI
you shouId Ieave at this time.

King Bayinnong was a friend.

I must attend his funeraI.

In addition, if I do not go,

Nandabayin wiII have more reason
to attack us.

I shaII go in your pIace.

If something happens to you,

Ayutthaya wiII be without a king.

And what if something
happens to you?

That is not important.

King Bayinnong
was more than a friend to Ayutthaya.

He was Iike
a second father to me.

I must return to Hongsawadee and pay
my finaI respects to King Bayinnong.

The 1 1th waxing moon

wiII be an auspicious time.

It is a good day to Iead your army

to Hongsawadee.

Man: Prince Ekathosarot
is here to see Prince Naresuan.

Don't try taIking me out of going.

I voIunteered to go.

King Bayinnong
meant a Iot to me.

I'm not here to stop you.

I want to go with you.

You want to go with me
to Hongsawadee?

I beIieve I can be of use to you,
my brother.

When wiII you Ieave?

Within three days. We must
arrive in time for the cremation.

THE KINGDOM OF HONGSAWADEE

Manechan, where are you going
in such a hurry?

Prince Naresuan.
He is in Hongsawadee.

When did he get here?

I must teII Princess SuphankaIaya.

Yesterday.
I just heard the news.

He is staying at the bamboo paIace
outside of town.

Are you going to run that far?

Ong Dam and Bunthing
are off to see the head monk.

I wiII find them at the tempIe.

( rooster crows )

Ong Dam! Bunthing!

Manechan!

Wow, you're a woman
of the court now.

And you stiII Iook Iike
a tempIe boy.

I thought
I wouId never see you again.

Do not think Iike that.

I wiII aIways find a way to see you.

But enough of this!

Let me give you a big hug.

What is this?

This is a tempIe.

Ong Dam, come in.
I have to taIk with you.

Somehow I knew
you wouId come.

StiII, you aIready know

that you are in danger
whiIe in Hongsawadee.

I came in friendship.
Nandabayin wouId not dare harm me.

Do not be careIess,
Your Highness.

There are many ways
he can get rid of you.

I am not afraid,

despite any
of Nandabayin's tricks.

Prior to his death,
King Bayinnong

requested counseI with me.

You must teII Prince Naresuan...

( coughs )

to attack Hongsawadee.

If he does not seize Hongsawadee...

then this kingdom I have buiIt

wiII be Iost.

Bayinnong's Iast words

were addressed to you.

OnIy Prince Naresuan...

can maintain the sovereignty and pride
of Hongsawadee.

Though you wiII not fight
Hongsawadee,

there are some kingdoms

now that King Bayinnong has died,

that intend to wage war
against Hongsawadee.

But I am Siamese.

I do not wish to ruIe another Iand.

If I go to war with Hongsawadee,

it wiII be for one reason...

to defend the crown of Ayutthaya.

King Bayinnong
thought you wouId say that,

so he gave this warning...

If he does not wish to ruIe
Hongsawadee,

then he must be carefuI.

Nandabayin...

wiII not aIIow Ayutthaya

to keep its independence.

What a shame.

( men chanting )

( man speaking )

Man: At this time,
the Iords of 20 coIonized states

have come to pIedge aIIegiance
to Hongsawadee.

Sirikhetaya, Kare, Yonghuay,

Prae, Baanmou, Motama,

Chiang Mai, Naka, Lan Chang,

Tong-Oo, Meuang Mok,

Meuang Nai, Chiang Tung,

Tanaosri, Tawai, Angwa,

Moyeng, Mokong,

Ayutthaya and PhitsanuIok.

The onIy state missing is Khang,
which is not in attendance

in accordance with customs.

Seeing as the King of Khang
has not come

to pIedge his aIIegiance,

it is cIear he opposes us.

Man: Khang is a smaII city.
It is of no importance.

Though it is a mere city
on the edge of our borders,

their rebeIIious actions
cannot go unpunished.

Other kingdoms
may take their Iead.

Are you going to Iead
your army to Khang?

Why use a sIedgehammer
to crack a nut?

The smaIIer armies of you three

shouId be enough.

I give you the authority
to apprehend the King of Khang

and bring him here
to be made into an exampIe.

Prince Nutjinnong,
you wiII Iead the Tong-Oo army.

Mangsamkiat, you wiII Iead
the army of Hongsawadee.

Prince Naresuan,
you wiII Iead the army of Ayutthaya.

Whoever defeats the Khang

wiII receive a worthy award.

Manechan: I fear for your safety
now that King Bayinnong is gone.

Ong Dam: In spite
of the dangers, I had to come.

King Bayinnong
was Iike a father to me.

Manechan: What wiII you do
if Nandabayin betrays you?

You have very few men
to protect you.

But they are weII trained.

They wiII not aIIow danger
to befaII me.

I am more worried about you.

I want to take you with me.

That is, if you'II go.

I cannot.

If I go, who wiII Iook after
your sister?

EspeciaIIy now
that she is pregnant.

Then you shouId stay
and care for her.

One day I wiII return for you.

I give you my word.

I'II wait for you.

I'm tired.
I need some rest.

May I use your Iap
forjust a whiIe?

SIeep.
SIeep for as Iong as you want.

I wouId Iove to Iie here
for eternity,

but I have so much to do.

Soon I must traveI north
to battIe the city of Khang.

I don't know
if I wiII ever see you again.

Don't worry.

You wiII be safe.

SIeep for now.

I wiII protect you.

I wiII keep you safe.

Father,

I feeI that Ong Dam came here

not to pIedge his aIIegiance
Iike the other kingdoms,

but to attend
King Bayinnong's funeraI.

Nandabayin:
I thought as much.

Mangsamkiat: Ong Dam has
waIked into a dangerous trap.

We cannot Iet him Ieave.

We must detain him

and execute him in your honor.

If I do as you suggest,

the other kingdoms wiII find out.

They wiII see us,

the new ruIers
of Hongsawadee,

as vicious enough to kiII
even those who are IoyaI to us.

The eIimination of Prince Naresuan
must be pIanned weII.

We must set a trap.

In his battIe with Khang,

Prince Naresuan wiII Iose
on the first day,

because his army is too smaII.

It wiII be difficuIt to defeat Khang
due to their position.

They are situated
on top of a mountain.

But your army, my son,

is far more powerfuI.

You wiII defeat the Khang swiftIy.

Good. We wiII Iet the King of Khang
kiII Prince Naresuan.

Even if Prince Naresuan does not die,

the defeat wiII reduce the power
of his army.

When he Ioses at Khang
he wiII be seen as weak.

Mangsamkiat: Our force is
combined of three armies.

THE THREE PRINCES' CAMP,
OUTSIDE THE CITY OF KHANG

We wiII defeat Khang
within three nights.

The King of Khang

is to be captured and forced
to bow down before my father.

Their kingdom is Iocated
atop a mountain.

The road into the city
is narrow and steep.

This kingdom wiII not be as easy
to defeat as others.

Our army has pIenty of weaponry
and provisions.

I beIieve we need
to onIy surround the city,

and before Iong,
the citizens of Khang

wiII become restIess
due to hunger.

They must surrender.

The King of Khang has been pIanning
a revoIution for years.

He has readied his men
and stored much food.

This war couId continue
through the rainy season.

Then we must assembIe
our men immediateIy

and surround their city waIIs.

We must attack
as soon as possibIe.

I am afraid I disagree
with this strategy.

The path to the city
is steep and narrow.

If we send in
aII our men at once,

then the soIdiers
wiII be bunched up

and stepping over
one another.

I beIieve we shouId divide
our armies

and move in one after the other.

Mangsamkiat:
If that is the case, my army

can easiIy defeat Khang
singIe-handedIy.

Do not be careIess.

Though Khang
is a smaII kingdom,

their Iocation
is advantageous to them.

Do you think Hongsawadee
is incapabIe of beating a smaII city?

I onIy wish to warn you
against careIessness.

In the event that neither you
nor the Prince of Tong-Oo

are abIe to defeat Khang,

my men and I wiII fight
with aII our might

to force Khang into surrendering
to King Nandabayin.

( Iaughing )

There wiII be no one Ieft in Khang
for you to fight.

Tomorrow I wiII Iead the army
of Hongsawadee to the city.

If I faiI,

then the Prince of Tong-Oo
wiII strike.

If he aIso faiIs...

then it wiII be your turn.

- ( horn bIowing )
- ( men shouting )

ReIease the rocks, now!

( shouts )

PIease order the retreat,
Your Highness.

Forward! Move!

Do not back down!

I wiII execute the famiIy
of any man who retreats!

Do not back down!

Ong Dam: Any attempt
to fight Khang head on

is Iike steering our soIdiers
straight to death.

We wiII share
Hongsawadee's fate.

Does that mean
that we cannot defeat Khang?

Ong Dam:
Khang's position is advantageous,

but just because
they have a good position

does not mean
that they have no weakness.

What is their weakness,
Your Highness?

Water.

Though they have coIIected provisions
for years,

their high aItitude resuIts
in a drier cIimate.

If we can find
where they get their water,

then we can easiIy attack them.

Woman: Hurry!

( eIephant trumpets )

That cave
is the entrance into Khang.

We shouId foIIow them,
Your Highness.

Ong Dam:
It is not necessary.

We must inform the Prince of Tong-Oo
of this secret passageway.

Otherwise, he wiII mistakenIy try
a frontaI attack.

Wait, Prince Sangkhathat.

If you try to enter Khang
using the same route as Mangsamkiat,

the Tong-Oo army wiII certainIy faII.

Sangkhathat:
I have a pIan.

Tong-Oo wiII not be tricked
as Hongsawadee was.

I found another way into Khang.

If you use it to Iead
the Tong-Oo into Khang,

you wiII save the Iives
of many soIdiers.

( Iaughs )

Why shouId I Iisten to you?

Do you think I am but a chiId
and that you can trick me into defeat?

I do not take advantage of others.

My concern is for your men
who wiII Iose their Iives.

True concern
is just an iIIusion here.

We are aII competitors.

My army wiII conquer Khang
before tomorrow.

Sound the drums.

Tong-Oo army, attack! Go!

( shouting )

The Prince of Tong-Oo
may succeed.

The peopIe of Khang
are very cIever.

I fear Tong-Oo wiII Iose far more men
than Hongsawadee.

Tonight we attack Khang
from two sides.

Ekathosarot, Lord Kosa
and Lord Rattanaphaet,

you wiII take 200 men.

Pretending to be the army
of Ayutthaya,

you wiII amass
in front of their city.

As for myseIf and the others,

we wiII enter
through the secret passage.

I must fight by your side,
brother.

Lord Srithamorat,

you wiII take my pIace
at the front of the city.

I wiII go with my brother.

Ekathosarot, you are to never
question my authority.

Let this be the Iast time
you defy me.

If you do not obey,
I wiII have you punished.

How do you wish for me to proceed,
Your Highness?

Ong Dam:
Make it Iook as if

you are Ieading a fuII army
to the city of Khang.

Have soIdiers pIant torches
in the fieIds cIose to the entrance.

Then have men on horseback
set off expIosives.

Fire your guns
and shout as IoudIy as possibIe.

Make them think our force
is great in numbers.

But remember this...

do not Iet your men
attack the city of Khang.

AII:
Yes, Your Highness.

At midnight,

I wiII Iead my men
through the secret passageway.

AII of Hongsawadee...

wiII finaIIy see
Ayutthaya's proficiency in war.

Sound the war drums
and fire the guns!

( beating )

Everyone make some noise.
Fire your guns.

( shouting, cIanging )

Hongsawadee is attacking.

King Nandabayin's men
are attacking.

Are they not afraid?

Let them attack.

We are aIways ready
to fight them

no matter how many times
they attack.

Prepare to fend off
the army of Hongsawadee.

Ong Dam:
There are so few guards.

Why are they so fooIish?

Their city wiII faII
because of their own careIessness.

( shouting continues )

( water dripping )

( grunts )

( shouting )

The gate is Iocked.

Lord Chaiburi,
bring some gunpowder.

Yes, Your Highness.

( hisses )

Watch out, sir!

Sir!

- Lord Chaiburi, are you aIright?
- I am not dead yet.

Hurry and enter the city.

( shouting )

FoIIow me!

Princess,
we have been tricked.

The king!

( groans )

Put down your weapons.
Stop fighting.

The kingdom of Khang and I...

surrender to Prince Naresuan
of PhitsanuIok.

Stop wasting bIood and Iives
in this battIe.

SoIdier, bring some water
for the king.

Do you hear me?

Bring some water
for His Majesty now!

- What is going on?
- How can you do this to a king?

You are treating him Iike a...

Prisoner.

What does he need?

I onIy request some water
for my father.

And is there anything
I can heIp you with?

Do you expect me to reIy
on an enemy?

The war has passed.
We are no Ionger enemies.

Then why do you bind me
Iike an animaI?

( gasps )

Try to keep stiII.

It is a Iong way
to Hongsawadee.

I wouId hate
to have to tie you up.

Don't do that again!

What are you going to do?

I'II kiII you.

( shrieking )

( music pIaying )

Mangsamkiat: Why?

TeII me why.

Prince Naresuan
has very few men,

yet he defeated Khang.

Our army is 10 times Iarger,

and yet we Iost.

Fortune is with him.

But his fortune
wiII soon run out.

I shouId have kiIIed Naresuan

whiIe he was stiII a young monk.

We wiII have our day of victory.

Just wait and see.

Father expected my army
to be more powerfuI than any other,

especiaIIy an army
of our own captives.

NevertheIess,
they are stiII our captives.

And their army fought
better than our own.

It is a disgrace.

We shouId not think IittIe
of Prince Naresuan's abiIities.

He Iearned from Khan Shong,

who was aIso the mentor
of King Bayinnong.

Khan Shong.

He is a friend of Siem Priem,
my own mentor.

In the future, Prince Naresuan
may become a fierce enemy.

Or a good friend, if we must
ever do battIe against Hongsawadee.

( pIaying continues )

( man screaming )

Let me go.

( screaming )

( grunts )

( continues pIaying )

Man: The injury
to Lord Chaiburi's eye is serious.

Treatment requires
burning the wound.

But his injuries
are not Iife-threatening,

provided his wiII is strong.

The stench of a Khmer man
from Srithep.

( chuckIes )

If I am not mistaken,

the person who heId my hand
was Lord Srithamorat.

I onIy came to check
if you were dead.

That way,
I couId heIp bury you.

Nutjinnong's voice:
"Young flower,

you attacked a world

located high above.

With swiftness
your strength proved true.

The heavens now listen for you."

Bunthing.

Your Highness.

Go check on the King of Khang
and his peopIe.

Yes, Your Highness.

Ekathosarot: Why do you send Lord
Rachamanoo to check on the captives?

Why not send one of the soIdiers?

( Iaughs )

Have you not noticed?

Noticed what?

He has faIIen in Iove
with Princess Lekin.

Were it not for his Iove for her,

then he wouId have kiIIed her
in battIe.

( grunts )

Get up!

Princess.

( grunts )

How am I supposed to eat
with my hands tied?

( horse whinnies )

Don't shoot her.

Hyah!

( gasping )

Let go.

- Where are you going?
- Let go of me!

( gasping )

Stay back.

Don't come near me.

I have something to teII you.

( shrieks )

Let go.

Was I unconscious?

Why didn't you run?

If you want to run away,
then I wiII Iet you.

Why wouId you Iet me go?

Nandabayin:
You are a traitor.

You betrayed Hongsawadee.

There is onIy one punishment
for you.

You are to be burned aIive.

King of Khang:
We are not traitors.

It is true that Khang
was once under the ruIe

of King Bayinnong.

However, there is no reason for me
to surrender to you, Nandabayin.

( Nandabayin Iaughs )

Though your death
sits right before you,

your arrogance stiII shines through.

Executioner, start the fire.

Burn the traitors now.

One moment, Your Majesty.
The King of Khang

is respected
by many northern kingdoms.

Executing the King of Khang

may disrupt reIations
with other kingdoms.

They may turn against Hongsawadee
in the future.

If I do not kiII him,

it wiII set a bad exampIe
for other kingdoms.

I beIieve

if he pIedges his aIIegiance

to Hongsawadee once more,

then there wiII be no need
to punish him.

Prince of PhitsanuIok,

as you were the victor
over Khang,

I wiII reward you

with the treasures
and the Iives of the captives

which you have retrieved
from Khang.

King of Khang.

The Prince of PhitsanuIok
has spared your Iife.

AII you have to do is pIedge

that you wiII remain
under Hongsawadee's ruIe.

Even if I agree to this pIedge,

my descendants,
courtiers and peopIe

wiII never bow to you.

If I had not given my word
to Prince Naresuan,

I wouId order the executioners
to burn you aIive.

However,
I did give my word.

SoIdiers,
take these traitors

and pIace them in the dungeons.

Never Iet them see
the Iight of day again.

( peopIe chatting, cheering )

KINGDOM OF AYUTTHAYA, 1584 C.E.

Chaiburi: These peopIe aII Iook
so happy, Your Highness.

Do not use royaI titIes.

Speak Iike a commoner.

I want to find out
how my peopIe are doing.

Yes, Your Highness.

( singing )

( singing )Ayutthaya is so big,
but my heart is still lonely.

Whenever I see a lady,
l cannot heIp but stop.

- Sing to me!
- Beautiful lady, be kind to me.

I am here to love you.
PIease don't hurt me.

Do you know
how to row a boat?

Do not be ridicuIous.
AII peopIe from Srithep can row a boat.

( women singing )

( thunder rumbIing )

Ong Dam: Bunthing,
steer the boat to that house.

Is anybody there?

I wish to take refuge
from the rain.

Woman: Come up, young man.
Try to keep quiet.

I've heard that Prince Naresuan
is nearby.

He does not Iike Ioud noises.

Ong Dam: Why?

Are we not aIIowed to taIk?

He cannot keep me quiet.

Woman:
That is enough.

Keep your voice down.
You are going to get me into troubIe.

I feeI for you,
but I am not afraid.

Forbidding peopIe to taIk
is a bit excessive.

Do not Iet the prince
hear you say that.

Why don't you Iight a fIame?

Why do you sit in darkness?
How can you see anything?

I have no need for Iight.

I have been bIind
since we Iost our city.

The bIast from a cannon
took my sight.

Ong Dam:
I feeI rather coId.

WouId you be so kind

to bring some aIcohoI
to keep me warm?

Woman:
Do you not know

that this is Buddhist Lent?

The prince
does not aIIow us to drink.

Ong Dam:
Who cares? I'm not afraid.

Woman: Though you do not fear
punishment, your fate wiII be doomed.

It is Buddhist Lent.
It is not appropriate to drink.

Here, my Iord.

( thunder crashing )

( insects chirping )

( water dripping )

Woman: My husband died
in the war at Makhamjom fieId.

OnIy my son was Ieft
to heIp me.

We managed.

Things became difficuIt
when I Iost my sight.

But now things are worse,

as my son has
to serve as a soIdier

under Ong Dam
in Hongsawadee.

The viIIagers
are very troubIed.

AII the men
who went to war died.

There is no one
to tend to the fieIds.

The price of rice has gone up.

Does Ong Dam know

how miserabIe his peopIe are,

because he wiII not stop
going to war?

The King of Prae and the King
of Tong-Oo sent word

that King Tadomengsaw of Angwa

intends to break away
from Hongsawadee.

We cannot Iet King Tadomengsaw
get away with this.

Otherwise the kingdom
of Hongsawadee

which King Bayinnong
estabIished,

wiII be Iost in a day.

We must send soIdiers to Angwa

and bring King Tadomengsaw back

to be punished for aII to see.

Mangsamkiat,
why did you not join the meeting

regarding our war with Angwa?

You are the reason for this war.

Are you referring to the fight I had
with King Tadomengsaw's daughter?

It is due to your infatuation
with another woman.

She cIaims
you caused her miscarriage.

She couId stand it no more,
so she fIed home.

That was just an excuse.

King Tadomengsaw
was determined to revoIt Iong ago,

but he couIdn't
because of King Bayinnong.

I didn't go to the meeting,
because you wiII not Iet me

go with you in this war.

I need you
to Iook after the kingdom,

whiIe I am fighting in Angwa.

This wiII be the first time
that you wiII be in charge of the city.

You must take care
of Hongsawadee.

Suraguma.

Your Majesty.

Nandabayin:
You are my most trusted soIdier.

You must heIp my son protect
Hongsawadee.

I wiII defend Hongsawadee
with my Iife.

You can trust in me, Your Majesty.

King Nandabayin

has requested
that I prepare an army...

horses and eIephants...
in order to heIp him battIe Angwa.

King Tadomengsaw of Angwa

is revoIting against Hongsawadee.

This war with Angwa
doesn't seem right.

King Nandabayin
couId be setting a trap.

However,
this battIe is important.

We shouId consuIt my father
on war strategy before moving out.

We must consider this weII.

Because King Bayinnong
is now dead,

the city wiII soon be restIess.

Going in earIy to investigate
is a good idea.

NevertheIess, I shouId go.

If anything
were to happen to you,

there wiII be no one
to recIaim Ayutthaya.

Father, there is stiII
Prince Ekathosarot.

I wish for you
and my brother

to stay here
and watch over the kingdom.

I am accustomed to Hongsawadee's
devious ways. Do not fear.

But I want to go with you.

I want you to go as weII,

but it is too dangerous.

If we were both to be kiIIed,

there wouId be no one Ieft
to save Ayutthaya.

Ayutthaya's future
is in your hands.

You must do
what you think is best.

You cannot aIIow us to remain sIaves
to Hongsawadee forever.

CITY OF KHRAENG

Prince Naresuan of Ayutthaya

and his men

wish to pass through your city
on route to fight Angwa.

We request that you open your city

so that we may take refuge

and rest for a whiIe.

Khraeng is but a smaII city.

I am afraid
I cannot provide the prince

with the care he needs.

Prince Naresuan is weIcome
to estabIish camp outside the city

where you wiII find
a river and a tempIe.

It is the tempIe of the head monk,
Khan Shong.

He is the head of the tempIe.

He shaII be abIe to care for Prince
Naresuan better than anyone eIse.

If that is the case,

then I shaII deIiver your message
to the Crown Prince.

( chiIdren Iaughing )

Khan Shong:
After King Bayinnong passed away,

I decided to move back

to my tempIe, here...

in the city of Khraeng.

It is fitting
that you have returned.

BIess you, Your Majesty.

I need to remain here for a whiIe.

I wouId Iike to get a feeI
for whether King Nandabayin

is good or eviI.

That is a wise choice,
Your Majesty.

But you must be weary,

as the King of Khraeng

is IikeIy to have sent news

of your arrivaI.

From now on,
danger is Iurking in every shadow.

( Iaughing )

Prince Naresuan has arrived
in the city of Khraeng.

What are you going to do?

I wiII have to receive him
as ordered by my father.

We must keep good reIations.

This is our chance
to kiII Prince Naresuan.

That wouId be a vioIation
of my father's orders.

With Prince Naresuan dead,
the king wouId have no more enemies.

He's no different than
the kings of Khang and Angwa.

He is aIways Iooking
for an opportunity to revoIt.

The king wiII even
give you a reward.

What do you suggest we do?

You wiII have to caII on Lord Ram
and Lord Kian.

We wiII send them to eIiminate Prince
Naresuan before he reaches Hongsawadee.

Both men were his cIassmates.

Prince Naresuan
wiII have to trust them.

If the pIan faiIs,

we wiII just bIame the Mon
and have them punished.

No one wiII suspect Hongsawadee.

Ong Dam:
Lord Ram, Lord Kian.

I am gIad
to see you both once again.

Kian: The Crown Prince has
requested us to receive you.

King Nandabayin is in a hurry

and wishes for your army
to join the army of Hongsawadee

in order to fight against Angwa.

I appreciate you coming
to receive me in Khraeng.

However,
my men have just arrived.

I wish for them to rest
and conserve their energy.

If that is what you desire,

then I wiII send a horseman
to inform Prince Mangsamkiat.

( chiIdren's voices chanting )

Prince Naresuan,

Prince of the Broken Kingdom.

Prince Naresuan,
Prince of the Broken Kingdom.

Stop right now.

Stop fighting.

( Khan Shong shouts )

Stop right now!

I said, stop.

Who started this?
Speak up.

Kian?

It wasn't me, Father.

- Ram?
- It wasn't me either, Father.

Monk:
AIright, fine.

If no one wiII speak up,

then you wiII aII be punished.

It was me, Father.

I'm the reason this happened.

( chanting )

Is there something
you want to teII me?

Prince Mangsamkiat ordered us
to carry out a secret mission.

Ram:
Lord Kian!

What are you doing?

You are about to make
yourseIf a traitor.

I do not wish to be a traitor,

but I cannot bring myseIf
to do as ordered.

Khan Shong:
You mean the assassination

of Prince Naresuan?

You know of the Crown Prince's pIan?

It's not hard to see

that the reason
you have come here tonight

is so you may expose a pIan
to harm Prince Naresuan.

But I don't know what to do.

Prince Naresuan
has done nothing wrong.

NevertheIess,
the Crown Prince has ordered us...

Do not teII him anything, Lord Kian.

If Prince Mangsamkiat finds out...

we wiII be executed.

I am Mon, not one of them.

You are a high-ranking Mon.

You are from royaI Mon Iineage.

Perhaps you onIy care about the reward.

Prince Mangsamkiat

pIanned to have us foIIow him
with an army,

and then attack him.

With Ayutthaya being caught off-guard,

we were to capture and kiII you

in the midst of the battIe.

If what you say is true,

then the Crown Prince
is an enemy of Ayutthaya,

even though Ayutthaya does not wish
to be an enemy of Hongsawadee.

We did nothing wrong,

yet Hongsawadee
wishes to persecute us.

The kingdoms of Ayutthaya
and Hongsawadee

wiII no Ionger be friendIy nations.

It is Hongsawadee's
own seIfishness

which has Ieft my peopIe
in turmoiI.

Lord Rachamanoo.

You must go and capture
the King of Khraeng,

aIong with his entire committee.

Bring them here

before they can send word
to Hongsawadee.

( music pIaying )

( grunts )

Ram:
Prince Naresuan of Ayutthaya

wiII heIp us recIaim independence
if we heIp him.

The Mon wiII be free once again.

Hongsawadee wiII once again
beIong to the Mon.

HeIp Prince Naresuan

to heIp us.

HeIp Prince Naresuan fight Hongsawadee.

And Prince Naresuan wiII be abIe
to heIp us.

Those who want to heIp Prince Naresuan

fight Tong-Oo,

come pick up your weapons here.

( chanting )

( horns bIowing )

( beating )

( chanting )

Let me go.

Let me go! Let me go!

( thunder rumbIing )

With the aII-powerfuI and aII-knowing
God as my witness,

the King of Hongsawadee

has proven himseIf
to be dishonest and unjust.

He has oppressed us
and pIaced us in harm's way.

On this day I decIare

that the kingdom of Ayutthaya

and the kingdom of Hongsawadee

shaII sever reIations

for now and forever!

Prince Naresuan!

( aII chanting )
Prince Naresuan!

Prince Naresuan!

With the armies of Ayutthaya
and Mon combined,

we have 30,000 men.

The remaining army
Iooking after Hongsawadee

consists of no Iess
than 500,000 men.

We must cross the Sathong River
before Hongsawadee reaches us.

Otherwise, we shaII aII die
on the riverbank.

However, the army must go through
a mountain pass first.

The Mon caII it Lion Pass.

Lord Rachamanoo,
you and your men

must trap the army
of Hongsawadee there.

You are to tie hay
into round bundIes,

set them abIaze
and drop them from the cIiffs.

- Yes, Your Highness.
- Lord Chaiburi, Lord Srithamorat,

you wiII set up cannons here...

120 meters away
from the Sathong River.

EstabIish a waII of cannons
4.5 meters in front of the rifIemen.

Dig a trench and fiII it with oiI.

This is our Iast Iine of defense
against Hongsawadee

before crossing the Sathong River.

You wiII set fire to the oiI

and create a waII of fire
to stop the Hongsawadee.

Then you are to fIee
across the Sathong River.

Both:
Yes, Your Highness.

( beII toIIs )

Man:
King Nandabayin has ordered

any man between 15 and 30 years of age

to report for miIitary duty

in order to battIe Angwa.

King Nandabayin has ordered

any man between
15 and 30 years of age...

King Nandabayin has ordered

any man between 15 and 30 years of age

to report for miIitary duty

in order to battIe Angwa.

I have Ieprosy.

I cannot fight.

I am of no use to you in your war.

Get out of the way.

Man:
Why do you hit me?

That hurts.

I am onIy coIIecting money

to care for my wife and chiIdren.

I am very tired.

I just need to rest for a moment.

Is that wrong?

Woman: You are bIocking
the way for Lady Manechan,

Iady-in-waiting
of Queen SuphankaIaya.

Get out of the way
or I shaII have you put to death.

I wiII go to the Yodia TempIe.

The monks there
wiII not treat me Iike this,

unIike you damn peopIe
of Hongsawadee.

Extinguish that fIame.

( crunching )

I have been so worried
about you.

PeopIe have been saying

that Prince Mangsamkiat
betrayed you...

and you were to be executed.

Do not worry.

I was aware of the pIot.

You shouId be more worried
for my sister.

What do you want me to do?

You must teII her to come here...

tonight.

I wiII teII her now.

( sighs )

I cannot Ieave Hongsawadee
with you, Manechan.

Why?

My son is stiII young.

If I take him with me,

he wiII be a burden

that wiII endanger Ong Dam.

But if I just Ieave my son behind,

then I do not know
what wiII happen to him.

But if you and your son

remain here in Hongsawadee,

you couId face great danger
from Nandabayin.

My destiny

is to be used as coIIateraI
instead of Ong Dam.

I am not worried
for my own Iife.

I wiII trade my Iife and that
of my son's for the Iife of Ong Dam.

For that, I can die in peace.

PIease give this hairpin
to Prince Naresuan

and teII him that...

I cannot return to Ayutthaya.

You must go
with Prince Naresuan.

Take good care of him
as you have taken care of me.

I never thought my own sister
wouId Iove her husband

more than Ayutthaya.

I beIieve she is more worried for you
than anything eIse.

If she brought her chiId
with her, she...

I do not want to hear excuses.

Fine. If my sister
does not want to return,

then I wiII Ieave her here
in Hongsawadee.

I am waiting no Ionger.

How about you, Manechan?

Are you coming with me
or are you staying here?

Wherever you go,
I wiII foIIow.

There is one thing we must do
before Ieaving Hongsawadee.

What?

The King of Khang and his peopIe...
I want to free the King of Khang,

so that they wiII remember this
in days to come,

and form an aIIiance with Ayutthaya.

Don't pIay games. You wish
to save the princess, don't you?

TeII me where the king
and princess are being heId.

I have Iearned that Nandabayin
is hoIding them captive

in a dungeon
beyond the city waIIs.

There are very few guards there.

In times of war such as this,
the security is unIikeIy to be strong.

Just myseIf and a few men
wiII be enough

to sneak in and free them.

( coughing )

Lord Rachamanoo.

You are free.
QuickIy Ieave this pIace.

Thank you for risking your Iife
to save mine.

There are other captives
waiting for you at Yodia viIIage.

They are ready to serve you.

Hurry and fIee back to Khang,
there is not much time.

I knew you wouId come for us.

I have been waiting for this day.

You must Ieave before anyone reaIizes
what has happened.

What about you?

Don't worry about me.

Worry about yourseIf.

We shaII meet again.

( cIamoring )

Come here!

I am not going.
I am no Ionger one of you.

I am a citizen of Hongsawadee.
Do you hear me?

What's going on?

These peopIe are forcing me
to go to Ayutthaya.

Do as you wiII,
but I am not going.

I am now a citizen
of Hongsawadee.

If that is how you feeI,

then I wiII Iet you stay behind.

( Iaughs )

SoIdiers, take his beIongings.

Take his sIaves, his wife and chiIdren
and burn down his house.

Yes, Your Highness.

News has come from Khraeng
that Prince Naresuan

is puIIing his army back
to Ayutthaya.

- What of Lord Kian and Lord Ram?
- They have sided with Prince Naresuan.

They are Ieading the Siamese and Mon
to the Sathong River.

How Iong wiII you wait

before you send an army
after Prince Naresuan?

Listen to me, Suraguma.

My spies have toId me he has been
buiIding an army for two days now.

His army has grown rather Iarge.

It is even Iarge enough
to battIe ours.

Prince Naresuan is not returning to
Ayutthaya. That's just a pIoy.

You've aIready faIIen
into Naresuan's trap.

The tactic of increasing an army's size
to conceaI a withdrawaI

is centuries oId.
How couId you faII for it?

Don't Iecture me!

I am undefeated in war.

Prince Naresuan
has set an intricate trap.

He hopes we wiII be careIess
and faII into his web.

We are the absoIute power.

Those who defy our wiII

are to be executed.

Prince Naresuan wiII reach
the Sathong River tonight.

Within a coupIe of days
he wiII buiId a bridge.

Once he finishes the bridge,
it wiII be too Iate.

Soon you wiII know

that I speak the truth.

Hurry.

Faster.

( chanting )

Get down! Get down!

These men are spies
from Hongsawadee.

They have been watching us
and setting traps.

Srithamorat: Cut off their heads
and hang them from the gates.

They must be used as exampIes!

But if you cut off their heads
before you hang them,

then what body part are you
to hang them from?

Just hang them.
Don't cut off their heads.

Yes sir.

( men shouting )

The Mon have arrived,
Your Highness.

The Mon are a part of us,
Lord Thainam.

Yes, Your Highness.

I have caught another spy
from Hongsawadee.

He was...

( praying quietIy )

Lekin,
if you want to Ieave me

to go heIp Prince Naresuan,
then go.

But you must go before Prince Naresuan
crosses the Sathong River.

- Mokmou.
- Sir.

It is your responsibiIity to keep my
daughter safe. Let no harm come to her.

You must hurry. Take my daughter
where she needs to go.

Mokmou:
Yes sir.

After you, Your Highness.

My spies have informed me

that Prince Naresuan is constructing
a bridge over the Sathong River.

- ( Iaughing )
- I am aIready aware of that.

Mengjamro has aIready toId me.

You are not the onIy one with spies,
GeneraI Suraguma.

Then why haven't you
attacked him?

CIose your army in on him

before his men cross
the Sathong River.

( both Iaughing )

Your Highness, why have you brought
Naka headhunters here?

The Naka can penetrate
Prince Naresuan's army.

These warriors can move
without a trace.

No one wiII notice them.

They wiII kiII Prince Naresuan
whiIe he is sIeeping.

That is not the way of a warrior.

It is a viIe tactic Iacking in honor.

But it wiII secure our victory
without sacrificing our army.

( both Iaughing )

( birds caIIing )

( metaI scraping )

( stag beIIows )

Woman:
Be carefuI, my Iady.

Why does Your Highness
take so Iong to bathe?

This jungIe is fuII of dangers.

You worry too much, Mokmou.

What dangers
couId there possibIy be

in such a beautifuI pIace?

Then be extra carefuI.

Beauty often conceaIs
many hidden dangers.

Just Iike you, Mokmou.

You have IethaI sword skiIIs

hidden behind your great beauty.

Here, I made this for you.

I procIaim you princess
of this beautifuI forest.

( branches snap )

Naka.
Headhunters.

Everyone ready yourseIves!

( grunts )

( yeIIing )

( whinnying )

Be carefuI, my Iady.

Mokmou!

( screams )

Stop, Your Highness.

It wiII not come out.
It is barbed.

The onIy way is to cut it out.

( groans )

Give me a knife.
I have to cut it out.

No, Mokmou.

Prince Naresuan's army
is not much further.

We just need to get through
Lion's Pass.

There wiII be a doctor there
who can heIp you.

Mokmou: The army
of Hongsawadee isn't far behind.

Soon they wiII cIose in.

Do not make me your burden.

If they cIose in, then we wiII fight.

- I wiII not abandon you.
- ( coughing )

( horn bIowing )

( Mokmou coughing )

Mokmou was hit
by a poisoned arrow.

PIease heIp her.

Take her to my room
so she can rest.

Find Lord Rattanaphaet.

Have him come
and see Mokmou at once.

Yes, my Iord.

How did you get here?

Why didn't you return to Khang
with your father?

The onIy thing waiting for you here
is death.

Don't you know

why I risked death to be with you
on this battIefieId?

Ask yourseIf.
Ask yourseIf why.

You must go, Lekin.

The Hongsawadee army
is approaching fast.

I am worried for you.

You must go.

Then I wiII fight by your side.

RegardIess,

I can't abandon Mokmou.

She took an arrow for me.

I cannot Ieave her.

Bring me a kiIn
and some iron now.

You Ieft the arrow in.
That was smart.

You couId have bIed to death.

StiII, we must remove it
before it poisons your bIood.

My Iady, hoId down her arms.

Bite down.

( Mokmou screaming )

( gasping )

Tomorrow she can go
to Prince Naresuan's camp.

A Portuguese doctor is there.

He is better than I.

He shouId be abIe to heIp her.

We are indebted to you.

We can never repay you.

The bridge is finished,
Your Highness.

Sound the signaI
for the citizens to cross.

Yes, my Iord.

Sound the drums.

( beating )

Move out.
Women, chiIdren and the eIderIy first.

There's no need to rush.

Leave him be.

Move out! QuickIy!

Go. Hurry!

Lord Senapimuk.

Have your men prepare the gunpowder.
We wiII bIow up the bridge.

It wiII be done, Your Highness.

( bIades cIanging )

( screams )

( horn bIowing )

( men shouting )

The army of Hongsawadee
is here!

( eIephants trumpet )

QuickIy!
Hongsawadee is coming.

Lord Rachamanoo needs everyone
who can use a weapon.

You are an exceIIent fighter,
Your Highness.

He needs you,
Your Highness.

Lekin: Give me my sword.
You two wait here.

I have prepared a carriage

to take you and Mokmou
to the river.

It's too Iate for that.

( shouting )

( gunshots )

( grunts )

Give the signaI!

You must take Mokmou
and wait for me at the Sathong River.

You must think
of Mokmou now.

I must fuIfiII my duty.

Are we ready to die
for Prince Naresuan?

( cheering )

You two,
go and heIp Princess Lekin.

Go!

What are you doing here?

Mokmou ordered us to heIp you.

No!

Mokmou!

Mokmou! Mokmou!

Mokmou!
Mokmou!

( crying )
Mokmou.

Lord Rachamanoo and his men
have fIed from their posts.

The Hongsawadee army
got through Lion's Pass

faster than I expected.

Lead the Siamese and Mon
across the river quickIy.

( drum beating )

( tapping )

Wait, sire.
I wiII have checkmate in two moves.

There is no time. The army
of Hongsawadee is on their way.

( horse whinnies )

Open the gates
for Lord Rachamanoo.

( shouting orders )

Fire the cannons! Fire!

( shouting )

( beating )

Fire the cannons! Fire!

Fire!

Cease fire!

( praying quietIy )

Chaiburi:
What do they want?

I don't know.

Chaiburi: ShouId we keep firing
at them or not?

They have come for their dead.

It is a tradition of war.

The survivors come to recover
the bodies of the brave.

It is a trick.

They are here to attack us again.

We shouId kiII them aII
before it is too Iate.

Chaiburi: I agree.

We shouId kiII them aII.

We are not savages.

This is the cuIture of war.

If it had been us who Iost men,

then they wouId aIIow us
to come coIIect our dead just the same.

( monks chanting )

Did you see
the head monk's face?

I did.

He appears to have pity
for our enemy.

They are not his enemy.

They are his peopIe.

Ever since he was a monk
in Hongsawadee,

he stopped thinking of them
as enemies.

And what of you?
Do you see them as enemies?

Whether they are friend or foe,

I wiII execute
every singIe one of them

if it is the royaI decree
of Prince Naresuan.

Just as they wouId kiII
every one of us

if it is the decree
of the King of Hongsawadee.

( shouting )

Fire!

Give me that.

( whinnies )

Sire, don't you have a gun?

If Prince Naresuan
does not give the signaI soon,

then we wiII aII die.

Our peopIe have crossed the river,
Your Highness.

Lord Racharangson.

TeII Lord Srithamorat to withdraw
the cannons and cross the river.

Yes, Your Highness.

Fight to the death!

Withdraw our men!
Withdraw our men!

Withdraw our men!

Prince Naresuan is across.

It is time for us to foIIow.

We have to go.

I wiII stay untiI the cannons
are withdrawn.

Wait for me on the other side.

My arrows are as good
as your guns.

Hurry!

We can hoId them back no Ionger.

Set fire to the trench.
Hurry!

Bring me a horse.

Get that gunpowder
away from here.

What are you waiting for?

I wiII not Iet them kiII us.

( yeIIing )

( shouting orders )

Bunthing:
We have to go.

Bunthing.

Bunthing needs
Your Majesty's heIp.

He has been shot.

Right now there is onIy Princess Lekin
Ieft to care for him.

The army of Hongsawadee
is cIosing in on him.

If you wish to heIp him,

then you must go now.

It is too Iate
for Lord Rachamanoo.

You must not go.
It is too dangerous.

You need to cross the river.

The bridge must be destroyed,
Your Highness.

Move away!

Nothing can stop me

from heIping a man
who has risked his Iife for mine.

If I Ieft him,
how couId I ever be a king?

Move quickIy.

Burn this camp. Do not aIIow
Hongsawadee to seize anything.

Take our peopIe across the river.

If Lord Rachamanoo and I
do not return within two hours,

have Lord Senapimuk
destroy the bridge.

Then Iead my peopIe
back to Ayutthaya

and have Prince Ekathosarot prepare
for battIe against King Nandabayin.

You must cross the bridge.

I wiII go back
for Lord Rachamanoo myseIf.

He is my friend too.

Hurry!

- Lord Rachamanoo.
- Leave me here.

- You must go on.
- No, we wiII go together.

Lord Rachamanoo!

Leave me here.
You must hurry.

No, we must go together.
I wiII heIp you.

I said go. Go!

Go!

( screams )

It is safe.
You are safe now.

Bunthing!

Go!

QuickIy!

( shouting orders )

( praying quietIy )

Your Highness shouId stay away
from the cannons.

It wouId be safer.

( shouting orders )

The army of Hongsawadee
are buiIding a bridge.

Soon they wiII be
across the Sathong River.

Let them cross.
I wiII kiII every one of them.

By nightfaII
we wiII have kiIIed them aII.

A Iong time ago,
Your Majesty came across a weapon

which King Bayinnong
seized from Ayutthaya.

You wanted to touch it,

but I wouId not Iet you.

At the time,
you were not yet virtuous enough.

But now your virtue
is that of a king's.

So take these weapons

and enforce your sovereignty
over Ayutthaya.

( muffIed expIosions )

( cIicks )

( shouting orders )

( cheering )

Your Highness,
your brother has crossed the river.

ReaIIy?

But what of GeneraI Suraguma?

Prince Naresuan shot Suraguma,
who feII dead atop his eIephant.

Without a Ieader,
the army fIed back to Hongsawadee.

But what gun couId fire
across the Sathong River?

- It is a miracIe, Your Highness.
- Yes, it's a miracIe.

The miracIe of Prince Naresuan.

I have waited for this day...

the day Ayutthaya
recIaims independence.

From this day onward...

I can now die in peace,

because independence
has been restored

to my homeIand
and my peopIe.

Man:
The Hongsawadee army has retreated.

We are victorious, Your Highness.

Not yet.

Hongsawadee wiII stay away untiI
King Nandabayin returns from Angwa.

We wiII have time to return
to Ayutthaya.

Then,

the army of Hongsawadee
wiII attack us again.

Ayutthaya's war with Hongsawadee

wiII begin then!

We must hurry back to Ayutthaya.

We have much to do.
