Original subtitles

How did I get here?

What a jerk. It's bad enough to strike someone from behind.

You did it to a woman.

You will never have me.

If you were a beauty, I'd have been fine.

You look and dress strangely.

If his conditions worsen, all doctors will be punished!

My dear son!

Is your home not in Pad Riew?

Where are you from?

I'm from far away, very far away.

Did you put some lime in there?

Thong-on!

- What are you doing? - Mother.

Are you hiding your wife in here?

I'm not his wife.

I won't make a wife out of someone who looks like this.

Wait.

Look like what? How do I look?

See for yourself.

Who are you?

I...

She's a patient from Pad Riew.

A patient?

That's right. She's been slashed in the back.

My goodness.

Oh! But why is she staying in your room?

Where else would I take her?

(Grilled Medicine)

(Smoke Therapy)

I can't take it. I'm going to faint.

Phuek, watch them for me.

I will ask Phikul to help you.

She's here, Madam.

Madam Thieb.

I think you and Phuek should prepare some food.

Thong-on and I will take care of things here.

Suit yourself.

Make yourself worth the food that feeds you for once.

Why are you covering your face, Jampa?

Do you have yaws or something?

She's coughing.

She might infect the patients.

Hey, your master is upstairs. Follow her.

Do you want to get kicked down the stairs again?

Okay, Madam.

Go lie down next to that woman, quick!

Pat!

I'm not a ghost. Don't speak.

I'll explain it.

Thong-on.

Watch over the patients tonight.

Yes, Father.

What's wrong? Pat?

Pat!

Phad said you were dead.

That's right.

If I didn't know, I would have run away, Bua.

I almost died.

Thong-on saved me.

You heard it.

Hey.

You can speak the human language, after all.

I have to get over it.

Whatever happens, happens. Whatever...

Are you going crazy again?

Who is this woman?

You weren't on the boat last night.

She is my cousin, Doctor.

She was slashed in the back.

And

someone saved her.

Yeah. The monk took a different boat to bring her here.

I'll treat your wound after I tend to those with severe injuries.

You said the monk treated your wound.

He did, Doctor.

Can a monk treat a woman's wound?

Brother, she was dying.

The monk needed to save her.

Just make an exception for the rules later.

You're right.

I'll look at your wound later.

Thanks a bunch!

I mean, thank you so much very much, sir.

She's a bit weird, Doctor.

It's fine.

A doctor needs to take care of the patients anyway.

We'll move the patients to the house for them to get some rest.

He often sleepwalks, Doctor.

Father, when both you and Grandfather were away,

I went shopping in Chong Kud with Grandmother Phikul.

Goodness.

Did you take my grandson out without telling me?

Nobody was home that day.

I didn't know who to tell, Madam Thieb.

My dear, you haven't punished Thong-on for leaving the job.

What do you say, Thong-on? Why did you leave?

I ran into some bandits, Father.

Had I gone back to Thongthae,

they would have attacked him along with the patients.

Thong-on did the right thing, Mother.

Then there's no cause for resentment.

Isn't that right, Thieb?

But he insulted me.

I didn't.

I have told you that you had no malicious intentions.

You said that to me because you meant well, didn't you?

But you! You...

Alright, stop it.

This matter is over.

Let's hear something of fortune.

What is it, my dear?

In the palace,

I paid respect to Lord Royal Doctor.

He told me he took the order from the king himself.

All royal doctors are to set up a Royal Doctor School at Wat Pho.

His Royal Highness is so kind.

I want to go to that school. I want to be a Royal Doctor.

If you want to study,

you have to be able to read and write well.

Then you can go through a test of knowledge and character.

That will determine if you are suitable to be a doctor.

I am suitable.

I have the character. I will be a Royal Doctor.

My dear, you moved the patients into the other house.

We're not using that house.

You still can't do that.

That house is to be Thongthae's house when he gets married.

He is not getting married soon, is he?

He is not even looking for a woman.

It's better to have people there to take care of the place.

I don't like it.

Helping people is a good deed, Thieb.

I'm so tired

of my weakness and illness.

We have found the root cause.

We will take measures to fix that.

You will gradually get better, Your Highness.

Thank you, Doctor.

I know you went through the trouble of getting my medicine.

You risked your lives.

I'm worried about you, my prince.

If anything happens to the doctors

because they need to treat their lords,

then in the future,

who would want to be a Royal Doctor?

I'm sorry, Doctor.

I'll give you the recognition you deserve.

It's fine, Lady Tuan.

We merely want to use our expertise to treat patients

and see them recover.

That makes doctors happier than anything.

I often found myself awake

and saw you all stressed from the efforts to cure me.

I could only tell myself,

"I can't die yet."

"The doctors will be in trouble."

You are too kind, Your Highness.

Sometimes,

we humans don't live for ourselves.

We live for others.

We live to serve the kingdom.

The four-category textbooks, are they ready?

The causes of disease

and 1,128 recipes of medicine are already compiled, sir.

The list of all medicine cookbooks in the library

provides the ingredients' health benefits and parts of plants to be used.

(Thai Traditional Pharmacy)

Knowledge of child delivery

is also detailed and complicated.

It requires a highly skilled individual.

There are details to operations too.

It requires a long course of training.

The Thai Hermit Exercise is to be mastered.

That is not easy either.

Those attending the school

should hail from a Royal Doctor's family.

They are well-versed in our knowledge. They will require less training.

I agree. Outsiders do not possess any knowledge to share.

They will only gain knowledge from us.

Please do not forget the king's idea.

We are to spread medical knowledge to people far and wide,

not keep it exclusive to ourselves until it dies with us.

Doctor Thongkham is right.

The king ordered us to establish this school.

That means

he wants to spread the knowledge far and wide,

not keep it exclusive to any one group of people.

If that is the case,

those attending the school

should have no prior knowledge or training,

so they will not hold on to their ways, sir.

It's fine if they have prior knowledge.

What we cannot have is ego.

One should accept knowledge without arrogance.

I'm looking forward to the selection process.

It's going to be strangely amusing.

Staring at a man? Have you no shame?

Shame? Why would I be ashamed?

You're in no shape. Don't force yourself.

I'm in no shape?

I'll show you my boxing moves.

Niang, are you alright?

I'm the one who's hurt.

I'm disabled now.

I'd rather die.

Don't say that, Niang.

That's right. Don't take the easy way out.

If you die, who would be Phad's husband?

How is this about me?

You don't want a disabled man as your husband, do you?

Don't feel sorry for yourself.

If the blade didn't slice through an important tendon,

you would be walking again soon.

If it did,

I would be disabled, wouldn't I?

I saw many examples.

Those treated by my father who lies down for a long time

usually have weak legs when they first get up.

With a couple of months of rest, you will be walking.

You will even climb trees faster than monkeys.

Really, Doctor?

That's true. You lied down for too long. Your muscle deteriorated.

You need physical therapy to get better.

What's that? Physi what?

I went too far.

What did I say wrong?

Have I become a weird person?

Bua.

I want to ask you something.

You can look at me.

If you don't want to see my face

and avoid me today,

you will have to keep doing it.

Just face me and clear the air.

What do you want?

Who are you? Where are you from?

My name is Bua, or Akkarima.

I'm from Krung Thep.

Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Bavorn Rattanakosin?

Not Bavorn Rattanakosin.

It's Amorn Rattanakosin.

Don't you mess with that name.

It's bestowed by the king himself.

You can't change our city's name.

What year is this? I don't see any calendar.

Calendar?

Calendar.

Don't you know a calendar?

The thing that tells you the date.

What are you talking about? I haven't heard of that.

What day is it today?

It's a holy day.

What year is it?

It's the year of the dragon.

And...

Thong-on, sir.

Doctor Thongkham needs you now, sir.

My father needs me. I need to go.

I was about to find out.

What did you say? You want me to take the Royal Doctor course?

Thongthae is a Royal Doctor. We only need one in the house.

You need to lead by example.

And you are not to brag about being my son.

Father, everyone knows I'm your son.

You can't hide behind my name in the school.

If you make a mistake, you'll be punished harder.

Then I'd rather not study.

I'm comfortable with myself.

You should study, Thong-on.

You will then become a doctor yourself,

not because you're a son of a doctor.

You're born into a Royal Doctor's family. You have it easy.

Will you not be envious of me

if I succeed?

Why would I be?

I would be happy.

Brothers should help each other carry on the family.

You can't decide that yourself anyway.

The master will test your knowledge and character.

No matter how talented you are, he will not take you

if you don't have the right character and ethics.

It's best to take that test.

If you pass it,

you will be more proud.

Right.

I'm here to take the Royal Doctor course, sir.

Wait over there.

Lord Royal Doctor will test you himself.

My duty is to treat patients.

Yet I get asked to watch over brats.

Go wait over there.

Yes, sir.

How many hours will he keep me waiting?

He won't tell us what to do either.

That's right.

I'm leaving. It's a waste of time.

- Wait, young man. Please give me some money. - Let me go.

- Let me go. Don't touch me. - Hey!

Whoa! Get out!

Help me get this man away!

Get out! Leave!

Leave! You have leprosy!

Get out! Get away from us!

Mister.

Are you alright?

Are you hurt?

Be careful! He has leprosy!

Don't touch him!

Your leg is not broken.

You don't have yaws.

That's all dirt that's on you.

It's not good to trick people into giving you money.

I'm not tricking anyone for money.

I don't have yaws either.

I'm just Lord Royal Doctor.

Young man, you passed this test.

The first ethic of a doctor

is to have mercy for patients and not discriminate.

All of you standing right there

lack this quality.

Please make an exception for me, Master.

I was just playing my role, Master.

Young man.

Whose son are you? Where are you from?

What is your name?

My name is Thong-on, sir.

The master asked whose son you are.

My father is Thongkham. My mother is Phikul, sir.

Thongkham?

Doctor Thongkham, a Royal Doctor, is that him?

Yes, sir.

I knew it.

You look like you would make a good doctor.

You're a son of a Royal Doctor.

So you know of the test beforehand.

You cheated us.

I'm not his favorite son whom he teaches.

That is why he told me to come here.

He doesn't even want me to study.

Is that true?

It is.

Such arrogance!

Don't act like a sore loser.

I know that all of you sitting here

come from a doctor's family.

Can you swear that you're not related to a doctor?

The test that I gave you,

I came up with it on my own.

I did not tell a soul.

But we did our work.

We've all lost sleep studying.

We haven't even shown what we're capable of.

Yet we're the losers.

That's right.

If we lack the skills,

we will not complain.

You fellows just don't get it.

I'm not looking for a skilled expert.

I have all the knowledge to teach you.

I'm looking for someone with a good character.

Then you chose the wrong man, sir.

The younger son of Doctor Thongkham,

rumors have it that he's evil by nature.

That's why his father won't teach him.

That's true. I heard that.

So is this the one?

My father told me to stay away from you.

Evil by nature? Do you mean this?

Stop it!

Stop!

Stop it right now!

I said stop!

Stop! Break it up right now!

Come here! Stop!

You're fighting like crazed dogs.

You bully! We don't want to be near you.

Let's go!

I'll get you! Are you running away?

- You're all talk! - Hey!

You've really lost your mind.

What are you looking for? You're giving me a headache.

It's strange. Is there no calendar in the house?

Caldar?

What are you talking about?

Does nobody know a calendar?

How do you live without knowing the dates?

If you want to know the dates, ask the monk at the temple.

Why would you want to know?

You want to tie someone's fortune, don't you?

Excuse me.

Madam Phikul told me to bring puffed rice. Maybe you're hungry.

Puffed rice, that's our master's favorite.

I don't know if he's awake.

Shall we go see him?

My wound hurts.

You should move. It'll help you heal.

Showing off your knowledge again.

I said I was hurting. How could I move?

Doctor Thongthae is treating patients outside. Have him look at it.

Let's bring this puffed rice to our master.

You told me to move, didn't you?

Let's go, Bua.

This will hurt a bit.

Your wound is starting to heal.

Don't move around too much, Master.

Your wound might reopen.

Lying still like this

won't make my body all stiff, Doctor?

Please bear with it for a day or two.

It will be bad if you start bleeding again.

Father!

Father!

Master Han is here, is he not?

He is.

Bring me to him.

Master, they gave me a bowl of puffed rice.

Doctor.

Are you here to treat Master Han?

I am.

You're walking around. Are you healed?

It still bothers me.

But Bua here

insisted that I walk around.

She said I'd heal faster.

You know that, Bua?

I spent three years studying.

A woman who studies medicine?

Who's your master?

Wait! Don't mind what she said, Doctor.

She's got a loose screw.

My wound hurts!

Take it easy.

- I shouldn't have listened to you, Bua. - Master Thongthae.

Someone is here to see Master Han, sir.

Boon?

Boon, my son.

The monk at the temple said you were here.

I thought you'd die before I got here.

No. Not yet.

I won't die so easily.

Niang, wake up. Look who's here.

- What are you screaming for? - It's Boon.

Boon is here to save us.

- Boon! - Boon.

Boon! You're here.

It's really you, Boon!

You're screaming my ears off. I shouldn't have woken you up.

- That's Boon. - Yeah, it's him.

Who is this man?

Ask me!

This is Boon. He's Master Han's son.

On the day we were attacked, he wasn't there.

Master sent him to visit his relatives in Wiset Chai Chan.

He's the only one unharmed.

You're home early today.

The prince has gotten better.

He let me off to get some rest.

Where is everyone?

Thongthae is tending to the patients.

What about Thieb?

She said she went to see a monk, dear.

See a monk to ask for a lotto number?

You just got home. Get some rest and drink some water.

I'll give you a massage.

Do you think I'm biased against Thong-on, Phikul?

What are you talking about? I never had that thought.

Thong-on grew up when I had just become a Royal Doctor.

I was treating patients and studying. I didn't have time to eat or sleep.

I remember it clearly, my dear.

I barely ever saw Thong-on's face.

The next thing I knew, he had become a young man.

Thong-on loves and respects you, my dear.

He goes to the Royal Doctor School because he wants to be one like you.

Thong-on, did you pass the test?

I did at first.

This house is going to have another doctor.

Don't celebrate just yet, Mother. I don't know if I'll get to study.

Why? What trouble did you cause?

I didn't start it.

It's those who failed.

They insulted me first.

Thong-on!

- You're... - Evil by nature.

Why do you keep causing trouble for your parents?

I'm sorry, Mother.

Feed him slowly. If you rush, he'll choke.

It's better if you sit up, so you won't choke.

Here, I'll help.

He should be fine now. Try feeding him.

Thank you so much.

By the way, what is your name?

You two are from the same house.

Don't you know each other?

Here's the thing. Bua was lost in the forest.

Thoem and Niang found her and brought her home.

She was there for one night, and we got assaulted.

Where are you from originally?

I'm from Krung Thep. I got carried here by a huge tornado-like storm.

What did you say?

Pay her no mind. I told you she's crazy.

You got lost in the woods, and you got slashed in the back.

It's normal that you'd lose it.

If you get some rest and healing, you'll recover soon.

Thank you.

You're the only one who understands, Doctor.

Gosh!

My wound hurts.

It hurts like I'm being stabbed.

You were stabbed.

It's natural that it hurts.

Come. I'll take you to your room.

Okay.

- Walk slowly. - It's like I got stabbed just now.

I'll take my leave then.

Take your medicine and get some rest, Master.

Okay.

What? My wound wasn't stitched?

I'll get cosmetic surgery first thing when I get back.

No! I can't look at it!

Pat!

Please cover up my wound for me.

How many times have I told you?

My name is Phad.

Phad, okay.

Phad, the beautiful.

Please tend to my wound.

It's time to dress your wound.

Get it done, or just leave it to rot. It's up to you.

If you don't want to treat me, then don't.

Hey! Bua!

How can you let a man into your room?

He's been treating me since I got injured.

By the way,

please look at Phad's wound. She won't let me look at it.

Don't.

I don't want to look at it. It's a waste of my time.

Such a foul mouth.

Do women dress like this where you come from?

They do.

You're a woman, yet you dress like a Chinese man.

It's none of your business.

Turn around.

What is that medicine?

Is it enough to heal my wound?

It's a secret, huh?

Wait!

Did you wash your hands beforehand?

Do you not trust me?

I have used these hands to treat you since day one.

I wasn't conscious back then.

I see it now. I can't help it.

You don't wear gloves.

If you touch anything dirty and then touch my wound,

it will get infected.

I'm not using my hand.

I'm using a spoon to apply it.

You're skilled, huh?

Want to do it yourself?

I'm not skilled.

I suck.

- You suck? - You suck?

Do you guys not understand?

What age is this?

Hey, have you lost your mind

to the point you forget what age this is?

Are you actually a stray Khmer?

I think I hit my head when I fell.

Let me ask you this. What era is this? What year is it?

I've been looking for some pictures and books all day

but haven't found one.

It's the year 1202 in the Thai Minor Era.

Thai Minor Era?

What is the name of the current king?

Do you really not know? Or are you testing my knowledge?

I really don't know.

If you want to know, I'll tell you.

Tell me.

Phrabat Somdet Phra Boromrachathirat Ramathibodhi Srisindra.

Wait.

Does he have a shorter name? Maybe I'll remember him.

He doesn't.

By order, he's the sixth king of the Ramathibodhi Dynasty.

King Rama VI?

No.

By capital reign, he's the third king of the Rattanakosin Kingdom.

King Rama III?

Phra Nang Klao Chao Yu Hua.

Thong-on! Wait for me!

Go back to your room and take your medicine. Stop following me.

Wait for me!

Thong-on.

Let me ask you something more.

Is it the year 1202 BE?

BE?

Just go back to your room.

Wait!

Answer me.

Do you like to get touchy with men?

Wait!

Will you let me go?

Answer me, and I'll let you go.

- What are you doing? - I'm dodging Phuek.

If she tells on you, you'll get in trouble.

I didn't do anything wrong. Why would I be in trouble?

I don't know

what women are like where you're from.

But where I'm from,

women don't get touchy with men.

Unless

you want to be my wife.

Is that what you want?

Idiot! Pervert!

(Ever since we met, the whole world has changed.)

This round of Royal Doctor students selection

seems like it will not be easy. Only one passed.

I vote for another round of selection, Master.

There has been a complaint that

the one who passed had a temper and aggression.

He's not suitable for the Royal Doctor School.

The ones who filed complaints

also lack a doctor's ethics.

They insulted a patient.

They look down on others.

They don't respect me who decides the test.

We need to hold another round of tests, sir.

It's impossible for a class to have only one student.

Next time, I would like a public announcement,

not just informing the families of doctors.

I knew it.

That's why we only got children from doctors' families.

Announce it to the public.

Get words on the streets, in and out of town.

Make it known even in the remote forests and mountains.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

We have to keep this in mind.

Our duty is to carry out the king's orders,

which is to spread knowledge to the people.

This time, we will surely land a hidden gem.

Go home and think

about how to get someone both smart and moral.

We will resume this discussion next time.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

I saw you dress strangely.

You probably don't have clothes to wear.

I have a lot of unused clothes. You can wear them.

They're beautiful.

You're too kind, Aunty.

Thank you so much.

The king of Siam laid a proclamation against opium.

May 18th, 1839.

Yes! It's the year 1839.

I found it!

What are you doing, sneaking like that?

I should ask you that.

Everyone is out there working.

You sure talk a lot.

Why are you searching my father's bookshelf?

You're hurt. Why are you not resting?

I got bored lying still.

I was looking for something to read.

You're a woman, yet you're literate?

I am.

Hey, what is this document?

It's the proclamation against opium.

The king ordered Doctor Bradley to publish it last year.

Doctor Bradley?

Is this from last year?

Yes.

It was 1839 last year, so it's 1840 this year.

What are you mumbling alone?

Keep that proclamation well.

That was the first paper that was printed.

My father plans to keep it as a souvenir.

I'll keep it safe.

I came from the year 2022.

Minus 1840...

Is it 182?

Have I gone back 182 years in time?

My back hurts.

I came far from home.

My life sucks.

Let's do this. You won't know til you try.

Blessed one.

Please send me back.

I can't go back.

When people time travel,

how do they do it?

Buang Banjathorn, take me back.

Plerng Phrang Thian, my portal through time.

What? Did you sigh at the sight of me?

I see what you're doing.

It's a waste of time to be sad.

What's wrong with you, Bua?

Help me hold this.

- Here. - What are you doing now?

Hey! Bua!

You're cutting up a nice cloth.

I'm losing my mind.

Don't ask to borrow it when I'm done.

At least this relieves my sadness.

Should I try again?

No, it's too hardcore.

You won't know til you try.

What are you doing? Let me go!

Don't do it. Calm down.

I know you've lost your mind,

but don't be sad.

You will be fine someday.

Don't do this. It's a sin.

What sin are you talking about?

I'm not killing myself.

I thought you were killing yourself.

It's good that I'm as quick as a gusty wind.

Gusty wind?

That's right. A storm brought me here.

It's a storm that can take me back.

Thong-on, do we have a storm around here?

You keep talking nonsense. It's the cold season. There's no wind.

Is there any place with a strong wind?

You want a strong wind.

Just go to the river out in the back.

The wind goes, "Bang, bang!"

- Where are you going? - To the river.

Why are you going there? Do you know where it is?

What if your wound hurts and you fall into the water?

Bua!

What's wrong, Father?

You look stressed.

Lord Royal Doctor asked us Royal Doctors to come up with a test.

It has to be a test that can give an equal chance

to both a doctor's son and a commoner.

I'm lucky I already passed the test.

Here.

This is the herb you asked Phon to fetch.

This is it.

The test for the students.

I'll have them analyze this thoroughly.

That's difficult,

especially for someone who's unfamiliar with it.

We can judge how sharp their eyes are with this.

Don't tell this to anyone,

especially not Thong-on. He can't find out.

I already know that, Father.

You said there's a strong wind here. There's nothing.

I told you there's no wind in the cold season. You didn't listen.

What should I do now?

I walked all the way here and got no wind.

Here's the wind.

Okay. Make it strong.

Blow me away. Do it!

How can I do that? Weirdo.

You have lost your mind, just as they say.

I haven't lost my mind, and I'm not crazy.

I'm from a different place and time.

I don't have my parents, my friends, or anyone!

You don't understand how scary it is.

I just want to find my way home.

If you don't want to help, then don't.

I may not understand,

but can you really go home this way?

I have to try.

Don't tell anyone about this. I'm crazy enough as it is.

Don't worry about that.

I'm leaving for the Royal Doctor School in a few days.

I won't have time to think about you.

Do they have a medical school in this era?

Can I attend it?

You're a woman. You belong in the house.

Sexist!

Men and women are equally smart.

Wait and see. I'll prove women can be doctors too.

I think I'll see a duck drown first.

Do trash talkers exist in ancient times too?

Where is Thong-on, Phikul?

I haven't seen him since the afternoon.

Jampa, have you seen Thong-on?

I saw him go out with a female patient late in the afternoon.

- A female patient? - Yes, sir.

Do you mean Phad?

It's not her.

It's the crazy one who dresses strangely, sir.

- That's Bua. - Yes, sir.

Madam Phikul gave her beautiful clothes.

She cut them up and dressed them strangely as she did before.

I think you're getting a crazy daughter-in-law, Phikul.

Bua is not crazy.

She just talks strangely, like she came from somewhere else.

We're a house of doctors. We should not judge her mental condition.

I'm just trying to warn Phikul.

Thong-on is a man.

He should not take a female patient out like that.

It brings shame to you, my dear.

I'll warn him myself, Madam Thieb.

The food smells so good.

He's here.

I'm starving. I'll eat right away.

Where have you been, Thong-on?

I went to chill out by the river.

Did you go there with Bua?

Yes, Father.

She was bored and wanted to go for a walk. I kept her company.

Thong-on.

They accepted you into the school.

You should stop playing around.

What you should do is study.

Otherwise, you may be the first to get expelled.

Fine.

Your brother is giving you advice. Talk to him nicely.

Phikul, your son has no manner.

Stop it, Thieb.

Bua is a bit strange.

Don't get too close to her. She might distract you.

Bua is harmless, Father.

She's funny.

That's true. I like to play with her too.

She talks strangely, but she teaches me a lot of things.

Are you getting along with her too, Thong-in?

Goodness!

This is bad. Thong-on, keep her away from my grandchild.

I don't want her craziness to infect me.

It's not infectious.

I'm with you every day, yet I don't get yours.

Thong-on, you brat!

Don't you know respect?

Hey, Phikul.

Teach your son sometimes.

My dear, you need to discipline him.

Can I eat my meal in peace for a day?

Everyone, this way please.

I have good news for you.

It's from the authority.

They said if your kids want to study to become a doctor,

they can try it out.

Apply with me or at the office.

My family is not a doctor's family. Can my son try?

Anyone who passes the test can study.

They don't care about your family, status, or wealth.

All you need is literacy.

Father!

The authority announced another round of tests.

It looks harder than the last time. Do it and pass.

Don't fail again.

Yes, Father.

This time I won't fail.

I'll rub it in Thong-on's face.

Do your best.

This time we must not fail.

We have to prove Thong-on wrong.

I won't let him insult us again.

- What's this? - Turmeric.

It's Zingiber cassumunar.

Zingiber cassumunar. The inside is light yellowish green.

Turmeric. The inside is yellow and dark orange.

- What's this? - Ardisia polycephala.

Correct!

- What's its benefit? - It's a laxative.

It cures diarrhea.

How can I get payback like this?

When I was in a deep sleep, I dreamt.

- You dreamt of hell. - Yes. I was climbing the thorned tree.

Uncle, were you in hell with me?

I was. I was stabbing you from below the tree.

- Don't eat. - No, please.

- Let me have this, please. - Niang, it's scary when you sleep.

You look like you wouldn't wake up.

I won't die easily, Master.

I'll get my revenge on those Chinese mafias.

It seems you've gotten better, Father.

I've gotten better, but my wounds still feel tense.

Without the doctors in this house,

I think you would have been a goner, Master.

What about you, Bua?

How are you feeling?

It still hurts when I move quickly.

The wound looks really good though.

It's amazing what medicine in this age can do.

Won't you ask me too?

I see you talking out loud.

I know you're fine.

Fine!

How are you fellows today?

You talk like you're the doctor himself.

Do you want some watermelon, Doctor?

I do.

Are you here to look at the patients yourself?

I am. This is my training.

I'll go to the Royal Doctor School when I grow up.

Here.

Royal Doctor School.

What do they study?

Thong-on, wake up! You have a test today, don't you?

A test? I'm here. Did I make it in time?

You did not!

Ground some green chiretta finely. I used it in a capsule.

Cappulu.

It looks like someone won't get to be a doctor.

This might be his consolation meal.

Let me go. A giant is going to eat me. Help!

Do we have giants around here?

This foreign doctor is famous for his expertise. Everyone knows him.

Does Thongthae like you?

I don't think so.

So you like him then?

You're such a happy little thing, aren't you?
