My first ever Singhol curry.

Do you know that skincare medicine

is really important?

You two know now. Don't tell anyone.

Maybe we are unable to teach you.

- Master. - Do you remember this place?

This is the place where you first teach me the number method.

- Number method. - Number method?

We used to have a doctor who was an expert at this.

I think we have found him, sir.

Please teach me your knowledge. I want to be as good as you are.

As far as we've seen in Doctor Saeng's teaching,

everything is going well, sir.

That's hard to believe.

I didn't think it would go this smoothly.

At first, the students were disobedient.

But as soon as the doctor showed his miracles

and guessed their characters

and imperfections accurately,

the students surrendered to him unconditionally, sir.

That's more like it.

Earth, water, wind, and fire.

How many of these four elements are in the body?

Twenty, twelve, six, and four, respectively, sir.

When one gets sick,

what becomes of those numbers?

Those numbers will fluctuate.

People get sick

because one of the elements

or several of them

become intense, decadent, or disabled.

If you want to return one to health,

what do you do?

We fix them with medicine

at the numbers that changed

and return them to the way they were.

That's correct.

We have to find a medicine

that has the right numbers.

For one with the deteriorating earth element,

the element decreased from 20 to 15.

You need to find a medicine with a five number in the earth element.

That will fill them back up to 20.

What about a high fever?

That's the fire elements intensified.

From four, it was increased to five or six.

You reduce fire with water.

Reduce fire with water?

So the water element increased from 12 to 14.

The extra two will counteract the fire.

The fire element will return to four.

Uncle, how do we know the numbers of the medicine?

That's the thing.

You have to feel it by touch.

You, right there. Come here.

It's you.

What are the numbers of this ingredient?

I don't see a number, Uncle.

Keep training.

You will start to see one or two.

Try tasting it.

It's astringent.

That's eight.

The number of ingredients?

Thong-on, how many numbers are there to remember?

There are ingredients from plants, animals, and elements.

It's over ten thousand items to remember the entire forest.

Just over ten thousand.

What? Ten thousand?

- Why are there so many? - There are many.

Who would remember them all? Over ten thousand?

Has everyone finished writing it down?

I have, Uncle.

I'm telling you the answer.

The first number

of this ingredient from a plant is

seven.

Yes!

- Joed, I got it right! - I got it wrong.

I got it wrong too.

It's close enough, Joed.

If you get the closest numbers,

such as six and eight, next time,

focus on it more.

Open up your sense more.

And have more belief in yourself, understand?

- Understood! - Understood!

But I don't understand.

Why don't we use all the six senses?

We only use our minds.

Why don't we use our sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch?

I wonder too.

Good.

That's a good question.

Thong-on.

Tell them.

If all six senses are used,

we don't get to train each intensely.

That leads to mistakes.

Two ingredients can have the same primary taste and smell

but not the same secondary taste.

Their medicinal properties are different.

When your tongue makes a mistake,

you can rely on your touch, which is more accurate.

I get it. If that's the case, we need to train harder.

- Isn't that right, Master? - You!

I told you not to call me Master.

Master!

- Uncle! - Uncle!

Uncle.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

I just stumbled.

I think that's enough for today.

You have been teaching us all day long.

Let's go. I'll take you home.

- I'm coming with you. - Me too.

Let's go.

Bua, when our faces are bright,

we feel like putting our chins up when we walk around, right?

It's a lot better than when our faces were left untreated.

That's right.

Phad, let's see if the kid from the other day is here.

There. That's him, Bua. There he is.

Boy, talk to me.

Hi, Sister. What have you done?

You look a lot prettier.

You can call me Sister now?

It's nothing.

I just want you to see my face clearly.

My face is still neat.

Next time, don't call me Aunt, okay?

Okay, Sister.

Be careful, Uncle.

Bua, look over there.

Who is that old man?

Why are the Royal Doctor students

crowding around him like that?

That old man is a talented doctor.

He possesses a lot of techniques that aren't in the textbooks.

I think he agreed to teach the students.

Look.

The Royal Doctor students seem to love their teacher.

Yeah, that's cute.

I didn't think those brutes

would have such a gentle side to them.

Bua, Phad!

Thong-on, are you taking Uncle home?

Yeah.

Would you walk with us, Bua?

No.

Just go your own way, young man.

Come on, young lady.

I'm lonely.

I feel lonesome.

Lonely, my butt. You've got a pack of friends. Come here.

Be careful.

Watch where you're going.

Skincare medicine, milady.

Please apply it to your face.

The Madams of my house made it.

I brought some for you.

Thank you, Doctor.

I'm at peace with my age now.

You should give it to young girls.

Maen.

You can have this.

Doctor Thongthae,

teach Maen how to use it too.

She has never used this before.

She might do it wrongly.

A beauty might be ruined.

Yes, Your Highness.

Mother.

What do you think of Doctor Thongthae?

Doctor Thongthae?

He seems calm.

He seems to be knowledgeable and capable.

He has a clean appearance.

His parents would be proud of him.

Why are you asking?

I have my eyes on him.

If Doctor Thongthae takes care of Maen,

that will put my mind at ease.

He's already taking care of her.

He treats her when she gets sick.

I mean

for the rest of his life.

It's late.

Are you not tired?

It's once in a while that I get to sleep beside you.

I don't want to fall asleep.

Are you angry at me?

I don't have much time for you.

Not at all.

I know you have to go out there for others.

Thank you so much.

I have Bua to play with me. I'm not lonely at all.

Tell me.

What do you play with Bua?

We play doctor and cook.

Doctor and cook?

I'm a doctor who treats patients.

Bua is a cook who makes food.

Should I go out

and ask Lady Maenwad to come here?

Don't let Maen know.

But you have been coughing every night, Your Highness.

What are you smiling about?

I'm happy.

Why would I not smile?

Your cheeks are bursting.

You must be very happy.

I have been happy lately.

Uncle agreed to teach my friends.

My mother and Aunt Thieb have been getting along well.

Even you are in a good mood too.

That's why I want to come home every day.

I'm jealous.

Why would you be jealous?

You have a family waiting at home.

That's right. You don't.

I shouldn't have said that to remind you.

Don't worry about it.

I haven't thought about that since I grew up.

Do you still want to return to your world?

I do.

Who do you want to return to?

Why don't you think of staying here?

Think of me as your family.

Stay here with me.

I want you to stay.

I just want to let you know.

The moon is beautiful tonight.

Am.

Do you think Siam will go to war?

The army has been fighting occasionally. That's nothing new.

They only dealt with outlaws and rebels. I mean a real war.

Why are you asking me that?

Don't you like peace?

Be quiet. I'm trying to concentrate.

Whoa! You sons of doctors! Your talking makes me forget my numbers.

Uncle, these fellows are talking and disturbing others.

Uncle?

Uncle.

Is he sleeping?

Uncle? Wake up.

Uncle!

Uncle?

- Yod. - What?

Go and wake him up.

Uncle.

Uncle? Uncle.

Uncle.

- Uncle! - Hey!

Uncle?

Uncle?

Uncle, wake up.

Uncle?

Someone try to feel his pulse.

I can't feel it.

There's no pulse.

There's none at all.

He's dead!

Stop, Thong-on.

He's resting in peace.

I can't.

These are someone's eyes.

I'm teaching you right here.

Your eyes are bad.

No. If I make him blind, that'll be bad.

I misjudged you.

I thought you had more guts.

A coward like you want to study under me?

Leave!

Leave and get drunk like you always do.

You have been studying under me for a while.

Have you memorized this whole forest?

Uncle!

Who'd memorize all this? I'm not a god.

I'm no god myself.

Why was I able to do it?

If you share this knowledge with others,

you'll live on in this world through your knowledge.

You agreed to teach me.

It won't hurt if you teach my friends too.

Someone go get one of our masters.

Ask them what to do next.

I'll go.

Get up right now!

You haven't finished teaching us.

You can't die on us like this.

Why are you so selfish?

You are all great. You can cure everyone.

Why can't you cure yourself?

If you know your body can't handle it, why are you teaching here?

Thong-on, what are you talking about?

Have you lost your mind, Thong-on?

Don't be harsh on him. Can't you see he's grieving?

Uncle.

My merit probably wasn't enough.

That's why we were your disciples for only a short time.

In the next life,

I'll follow you to learn the number method.

I'll finish your lesson.

I'm sorry, Uncle.

I'm too stupid.

I couldn't even finish your lesson.

I couldn't carry on your knowledge.

Don't lose hope yet, you all.

Uncle may have left us,

but we have to train ourselves in his ways.

We will finish his lesson.

We couldn't do it when he was here.

Now that he's gone,

do you think we can do it?

You should say your goodbye, Thong-on.

Thong-on is probably feeling speechless.

He suddenly left him.

Uncle made Thong-on this sad.

If it's someone closer, how sad would he be?

Why would you say that?

Thong-on, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

We should leave.

Let Thong-on say his goodbye alone.

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to get mad at you.

I just don't want you to leave us.

He understands. Believe me.

Everything that you have taught me,

I'll make the most of it.

I may not match your skills,

but I remember your teachings.

I'll train myself.

I'll improve.

I'll make myself worthy of your teachings.

I love you, Uncle.

Bua.

In your time,

do they still use this numbering method to cure?

I don't think so.

So we're going to fail.

We won't pass on his knowledge to the future.

Don't get discouraged.

It might still exist, but I'm unaware of it.

You have to keep learning.

If our intelligence is not capable,

we shouldn't waste time.

We should spend our time learning what we can do.

Are you not going to carry on his knowledge?

I'll dedicate my time.

I don't know if my intelligence is capable,

but I'll restore his knowledge no matter what.

Please be my support.

Finally,

the final lesson is here.

What is the final lesson, Master?

From today on,

you will find out.

How much is this?

Which house has a patient?

We do.

Doctors are here. Take us to the patient.

Why are there so many doctors?

They're students. They're here to learn.

Okay. It's this way.

- Let's go. - Come, everyone.

Strike with your full force. Don't hold back.

So you know your strength.

Hit me harder. The master is going to scold us.

Where are you going, Phad and Bua?

Boon!

- Boon! - Boon!

I think he got hit in his old wound.

His face got pale.

Everyone back off. Don't crowd him.

Let me see him.

Boon.

Boon.

It's a shame for Boon.

That's right.

Bua is touching him, but he's out cold.

Boon!

Boon!

The skin under the eyes is very pale.

Your body is pale and yellow too.

It looks like anemia.

Anemia, Doctor?

I knew it.

- Why don't you slap your own knee? - A few days ago,

he started to look pale.

It looked like a headache or stomachache. It looked strange.

See? That's a sad person for you.

He doesn't eat or sleep. This is what he gets.

- Isn't that right? - Yeah!

Niang!

I'll give you a haematinic

and some cannabis sleeping medicine.

They enrich your elements. You will regain your strength and get to sleep.

- Thanks. - I'll cook some food that improves the blood.

You say food that improves the blood.

What are you going to cook?

He needs more iron to boost his immunity.

Pork liver, egg yolk, and some green vegetables.

You're a fast learner when it comes to food, Bua.

That's admirable.

Mother!

Bua! You're all here.

- I have something. - What is it this time?

What did you do this time? Tell me, Thong-on.

Mother, that's not it.

Let's not talk about this right now.

Thong-on, go get some broom flowers.

I'm going to stir-fry it with some liver.

Broom flowers?

Who can eat that?

You're going to get sick.

It's not the broom for sweeping the floor.

It's what I call garlic chives.

The leave is round like spring onions with a white flower at the end.

A green leafy vegetable

with a white tip

that the Chinese call "Guchai?"

Is that right?

That's right. Its flowers contain iron. It's good for the blood.

Are you having a severe period? Do you need enrichment?

It's not for me.

Boon fainted while training.

Brother Thongthae said he had anemia.

That's why I'm cooking food with benefits to help.

So you're worried about your ex-fiance.

Fiance, my butt. You're delusional.

Let's go. Help me get some.

Wait, Bua.

We don't have Chinese vegetables in our garden.

You know what?

Tomorrow, I'll buy some from the market.

I can use anything.

Just any green leaves. Come and help me pick some.

Here. A wild betel leaf.

He's your ex-fiance.

Find a way to heal him yourself.

You're too much. You know there's nothing between us.

I saved you from getting scolded by your mother, yet you're mad at me.

Why would my mother scold me?

What did you do this time, then?

Didn't you see how stressed she was?

I didn't do anything wrong.

I was just about to tell her

I'll get to cook medicine and treat patients myself.

What? Really?

How did it happen? Tell me.

Where are you taking us, Masters?

It's time you get to treat patients for real.

What did you say, Master?

You will travel and find patients.

Once you find one,

diagnose them.

Provide them with medicine. Make them recover.

Write down everything you do step-by-step and submit it to us.

Does that mean you're really going to be a doctor?

Thong-on! You're awesome!

I'm happy for you! That's really great!

Well done!

Thanks, Bua.

Thong-on!

- Thong-on! - Yes, Mother.

Thong-on, my son.

Thong-on.

Are you going to treat patients?

I am.

- Who told you? - Bua did.

Why didn't you tell me first?

Don't you know how long I've been waiting to hear this?

I saw you were busy. I didn't want to disturb you.

It wouldn't have disturbed me at all.

Thong-on.

I'm so proud, my son.

Mother, I'm going out to search for a patient tomorrow.

Please wish me luck.

Okay.

I wish my son

to be safe in his travels,

to be triumphant in his journeys,

to return healthy and unharmed,

and be well at any place and time.

I wish the gods of the forests, the mountains, the waters, and the wild

to protect my son

and keep him from harm.

Please let him be safe in his journeys.

- Sadhu. - Sadhu.

This medicine will enrich Your Highness' elements.

This is medicine for women's bleeding, milady.

This is "Traibhum Phra Ruang" for your pronunciation training.

The words in this are more difficult than in the previous book.

Thank you, Doctor.

Just having Doctor Thongthae with us

makes the whole palace feel safe.

Your idea is good and flawless.

I think you should tell them now. It's the right time.

Doctor Thongthae.

You're a good man.

You're knowledgeable and capable.

Can I leave someone in your care?

I shall do your bidding, Your Highness.

Maen.

You are of the marrying age now.

You can't stay with me forever.

Please marry Doctor Thongthae.

That will give me peace of mind.

Maen.

Don't cry.

Living with Doctor Thongthae

is a lot better than living with me.

Your Highness.

I know you're shocked.

You grew up here.

You have been living with me for over ten years.

If we bid farewell,

it's natural to be sad.

I'm feeling the same as you are.

I'm not rushing you to go off right now.

When you're ready,

you can go.

Or...

Do you have any objections?

You can tell me.

I don't, Your Highness.

Hooray! I'm going to have a new mother!

Thong-in.

Go play outside.

The adults are talking. Go.

Yeah! A new mother!

Look. This is a good thing, my son.

This is the prince's generosity.

He gave Lady Maenwad up to marry you.

You can't find a fine lady like her anywhere.

As fine as she is, I really don't want to get married.

You get sick often.

Who would take care of you?

We have people all over the house. Why would you worry about this?

Please get married, my son.

I'll be happy to see you settle down with a good woman.

I can die in peace.

You will have someone to take care of you when you get old.

Get married.

Do it for me.

Yes, Mother.

Maen hasn't said a word since?

She hasn't, Mother.

What did I do wrong?

Is Maen angry at me?

Do you have anything to say, Phol?

My lips are itching from an allergy, milady.

What is it that you can't say back there, Phol?

I'm uncomfortable, Your Highness.

I thought I wouldn't tell.

But come to think of it,

I really must tell you, Your Highness.

Then tell me.

Lady Maen cries and doesn't speak,

not because she has pre-wedding anxiety,

but because she already has someone she loves, Your Highness.

When you were sick,

who stayed with you all night long, Your Highness?

It was you.

I only made it through late at night.

I went to bed when I got tired.

Lady Maenwad stayed with you until dawn.

She's the one who cares about you the most, Your Highness.

Bua.

Don't just sit there and write your recipe.

You can come and watch me treat a real patient.

Really? I can come?

You can.

That's great. Where are we going?

Follow me.

Let's go.

Is anyone sick here?

I'm here to treat you.

Here. I am. I'm sick.

Me too.

Me too.

Okay.

My period only comes out a little.

My stomach and my back hurt. It's unbearable.

- Okay. Let me look at you. - Okay.

- What do I do? - Turn around.

Lean on me.

- Let me see your back. - Okay.

Right there!

- I got it. I know what's wrong. - Okay.

Okay.

I cough a lot with phlegm.

My throat is sore, and I can't really use my voice.

Let me see.

Open your mouth.

Alright.

Thanks.

For me,

my body is stiff.

My whole body is aching.

My hands and feet feel numb and weak too.

- Your whole body? - Yes.

Okay.

Lie down for me.

Does this hurt?

I don't feel anything. It's all stiff.

Sit up again.

Does it hurt?

Not at all.

I got it now.

I'll give you Kamlang Ratchasih and Fai Pralaikalp medicine.

They help with your blood flow.

You will feel better.

The freckles on your face will fade too.

Okay.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

I'll give you a detoxicant from bitter apple.

It will relieve your symptoms. You will cough less with less phlegm.

Okay.

- Here. - Thanks.

For you, I'll give a massaging oil to improve airflow.

Your blood and air will flow better.

This is called Sanantraiphob oil.

Use your medicine well.

I'll come again for a follow-up.

Okay. Thank you, young man.

You can call me a doctor.

Thank you so much, young doctor.

Okay.

I read all of your treatment journals.

You treat patients by the book.

You used the medicine according to the rules very well.

After this,

it's a training that doesn't exist in the textbook.

What is it, Master?

You will train how to cook medicine.

Thong-on, we're cooking medicine!

- Finally. - I'm glad!

Quiet and listen.

Cooking a new medicine

is highly important for a doctor.

This is how we leave our marks in history.

You must come up with a new medicine to cure any illness.

Your medicine must not exist in any previous textbook recipe.

Do not copy someone else's recipe.

You need to invent your own.

Can I even do it?

- I'm not glad anymore. - Me too.

I know

that cooking medicine

is the most difficult task for a doctor.

I'll give you time

to invent your new medicine.

You have

- ten days. - What?

- Ten days? - What can we do in ten days?

Ten days? Who can possibly make a new medicine in time?

Sorry. Can I have 15 days?

You get five days.

Five days?

There are a lot of illnesses.

There are also many forms of medicine.

What medicine should I make?

A medicine to change one's mind.

Can you cook it?

I'll feed that medicine to the prince

to make him call off my wedding with Lady Maenwad.

Thongthae, are you kidding?

Who can possibly make that medicine?

Then you're not the real deal.

What medicine are you looking for?

Something to relieve a headache.

Thongthae.

Try this one.

(Cannabis Sleeping Medicine)

(Cannabis Sleeping Medicine)

Thanks a lot.

You are of the marrying age now.

You can't stay with me forever.

Please marry Doctor Thongthae.

That will give me peace of mind.

You have been gone for more than half a day.

What have you been doing?

I was sorting clothes, Your Highness.

I was choosing which ones to bring over there

and which ones to leave here.

Do you agree to the wedding?

It's your wish, Your Highness.

I will not object.

I know you mean well.

I do.

I mean well to you.

I want you to be with a man

who can take care of you,

not a good-for-nothing

and sickly man like I am.

I know

when I get older,

I'll get even more illnesses.

You have been taking care of me your whole life.

You have done enough.

I don't want you to exhaust yourself for me anymore.

It's not like that, Your Highness.

I'm willing to take care of you.

I never feel exhausted at all.

Being here for you

and being with you

is my happiness, Your Highness.

If you change your mind,

I'll gladly continue to serve you, Your Highness.

That's not good for you, Maen.

I don't want to be a burden to the one I love.

Your Highness.

Do you love me?

I do.

I love you

as you love me.

Truthfully,

I want to be with you for the rest of my life.

But you will be burdened for the rest of yours.

I don't want to be selfish.

That's why I want a better life for you.

Not at all, Your Highness.

Being with you,

even for an hour,

is a happiness that lasts for the rest of my life.

Please don't make me go anywhere, Your Highness.

(Ever since we met,)

(the whole world has changed.)

(With you by my side...)

(Ever since we laid eyes,)

(my heart has changed.)

(You're the only one who understands.)

(How great is it that we meet?)

(Is this love? Or what is this?)

(What makes my heart...)

One of them needs to say it.

That's the only way they'll find out.

(I don't know if it's love or it's just a dream.)

I feel sorry for Doctor Thongthae.

(I'm not dreaming, am I?)

(You're here with me today.)

(I'm not dreaming, am I?)

Cook a new medicine?

That's right. I have ten days.

Oh! That's so short.

I have to do it somehow.

I still have no idea what to cook.

I got it now!

I know what medicine to cook.

Thank you so much, Bua.

I haven't said or done anything.

Doctor Thongthae.

I summoned you here today

to say I'm sorry.

I rushed into matching you the other day.

I know you decided with your best wishes, Your Highness.

It was my fault.

I did not ask Maen what she wished.

When I found out Maen didn't want to get married yet,

I felt even worse.

Thank you so much, Your Highness.

Do you mean you don't want to get married either?

I don't, Your Highness.

I'm glad to hear that.

My mind is at ease now.

Then let's call off this marriage.

Yes, Your Highness.

Everyone is pleased with this outcome.

That's really great.

Do you want to come up with an asthma relief?

Yes, Father.

Asthma is an ancient illness.

It's hard to recover from it completely.

Shouldn't you try something else?

I want to do this, Father.

Then do what you want.

I have warned you.

There. Put it over there.

Bua, Thong-on.

I brought your meal here.

If you're hungry, eat some.

- Yes, Mother. - Thank you.

Okay.

Let's put this away.

Here! Thong-on.

Is this it?

Is it?

- That's it. Bael leaves. - Right?

Let me see.

(784 - Bitter/ Astringent/ Sweet)

(687 - Hot/ Astringent/ Bitter)

(784 - Bitter/ Astringent/ Sweet)

(122 - 9 7 4 20)

(187 - Fragrant/ Astringent/ Bitter)

I found it.

You did?

What's that plant?

It's fragrant chloranthaceae.

You're awesome, Thong-on.

Help me pick it. Take some big leaves.

Young man!

You are a doctor, right?

I am.

I remember you, young doctor.

Come here, girl.

This girl.

She has been looking for a doctor for two days. Her father is sick.

She hasn't found a doctor.

Where is your father?

Lead me there.

Kid, wait for me.

She's gone.

What should we do, Thong-on?

We follow her.

Let's go.

The King's Chief of Royal Medicine has ordered all Royal Doctors

to learn how to stitch wounds from Doctor Bradley.

How is that possible?

It is possible.

Doctor Bradley has agreed to teach us.

But some royalties don't trust Western medicine, my lord.

There are others who do, right?

How did the King's Chief come to that decision?

I wonder too.

I don't approve of this.

The King's Chief never blocks knowledge.

He studies both Thai and Western medicine

to maximize the benefits for patients.

He made the correct decision.

All of you can rest assured.

I believe that

he has his reasons

for ordering this.

You need medicine.

Where is your medicine?

Thong-on!

Help me!

A war with Vietnam is looming.

Thongthae.
