Get up right now!

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

Finally, the final lesson is here.

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

Are you really going to be a doctor?

I have been happy lately. Even you are in a good mood too.

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

Maen, please marry Doctor Thongthae.

That will give me peace of mind.

I'll feed that medicine to the prince

to make him call off my wedding with Lady Maenwad.

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

What should we do, Thong-on?

We follow her.

Is your house this way?

Let's go.

Kid, you can just walk. Don't rush.

Wait for me. We're going to get lost.

Is it near?

- What? - Hey!

Let's go, Bua.

We're deep into the jungle, Thong-on.

We are. The kid sure walks fast.

Kid!

Let's rest for a bit!

Let me rest. I can't walk anymore.

I'm so thirsty.

I don't carry water.

Kid. Is your house far away?

How far?

Do we have to walk far?

Will we get there before dark?

What should we do, Thong-on?

Is your father's condition serious?

Let's go.

We've come this far. We should hurry.

Let's go, Bua.

Why is Thong-on not home yet?

He said it wouldn't take long.

Bua went out with him too.

That's right. That's why I'm worried.

You have back pain that hurts your legs, and can't walk.

That's right.

Where does it hurt?

Okay.

Ouch! That's the spot.

The air in the hips is obstructed.

That's his Pattakhat.

That's intervertebral disc inflammation.

It could be a herniated disc.

It could be spinal stenosis.

You have to rest until you get better.

You can't lift heavy weights for the rest of your life.

I've rested for a while, and it didn't get better.

What weight can I lift in my condition?

The pain is killing me right now.

I need to look at your Pattakhat.

Okay.

Please turn your face down.

I'll check if your Pattakhat is settled down.

Your outer Pattakhat is very stiff.

Your inner Pattakhat is the same.

Wait for me.

- Okay. - Bua, come and help me.

I feel so sorry for him.

He's in so much pain he can't walk.

How do we treat him?

I need three medicines.

What are they?

First, Mount Meru Destroyer.

Second,

Maha Sannibat.

And third,

Pattakhat yellow medicine.

Will those heal him?

He needs physical treatment too.

What physical treatment?

Medicinal oil treatment.

What's wrong?

Where are we going to find the herbs used to cook those medicine?

We're in the middle of the jungle, Thong-on.

How many days will it take to gather the ingredients?

I have all three medicine with me.

Oh! Do you carry medicine?

A lot of locals are suffering from this pain.

That's why I carry them with me.

That's great.

I thought we'd be out in the jungle looking for herbs.

What is it?

Right now, you need to get me a small pot,

a piece of cloth, and some coals.

We need those for the treatment.

Hey, you're listening.

Do you have those things?

This is Mount Meru Destroyer.

It helps relieve the obstructed air.

This is Maha Sannibat.

It will relax your stressed tendons.

This is Pattakhat yellow medicine.

It helps the airflow

in both your outer and inner Pattakhat.

I'll give you a medicinal oil treatment too.

Okay.

Is it hot?

A little.

Please bear with it.

What's this oil, Thong-on?

Chantakhian oil.

It's done.

Young doctor, you're amazing.

I got better instantly.

You need to take your medicine too.

You will get better soon.

- Okay. - I'll take my leave.

I'll visit you for a follow-up soon.

Please stay here tonight.

I can't.

I need to go.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Then I wish you safe travels.

Thanks.

Oh!

It's dark.

How are we going home, Thong-on?

That's right.

I haven't eaten anything.

I'm so hungry.

Me too.

Me too.

I know you don't like spicy things. I made you some omelet.

This omelet looks delicious.

Eat it, Bua.

- Thank you. - Okay.

- Give me. - I'll wipe it for you.

(Ever since we met,)

(the whole world has changed.)

(With you by my side...)

(Ever since we laid eyes...)

I'll do it myself.

I'll do it for you.

(You're the only one who understands.)

(How great is it that we meet.)

(How great is it that we meet.)

(What makes my heart)

(tremble every day and night?)

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

(You're here with me today.)

(I'm not dreaming, am I?)

Here too, Bua.

(You're here with me today.)

(I'm not dreaming, am I?)

The happiness of giving is a good thing.

It will be even better when the receiver appreciates your goodwill.

How, Mother?

Do you know?

When I left my home

to be with your father here,

I missed my home.

I wanted to go back.

There's only one thing

that kept me here.

Do you know what it was?

I don't.

It's love.

Love made me stay here happily.

Thong-on.

Now you know.

If you want Bua to stay here,

what do you have to do?

Make her fall in love.

I brought you here and gave you trouble.

You didn't. It's fun.

Do you still feel happy here?

In this jungle?

The weather is nice.

The vibe is good.

I mean, in my time.

I do.

Then you don't want to go home anymore, right?

I thought about it so much that I stopped thinking.

No matter how hard I try, I can't go.

Are you still trying to leave?

I've always been trying to.

I just didn't tell anyone.

What did you do?

Well...

Every time it rains, or when a storm comes...

Storm!

Take me back!

Storm! Take me back!

Take me back, please!

I want to go home!

When will I get to go home?

When?

I really tried everything,

but it didn't work.

Do you want to go home that badly?

I never knew.

When the time comes, I'll have my chance.

Forget it.

Let's talk about something else.

Look.

Do you think this is an acne?

- Where? - Here.

It hurts a bit.

It looks like it.

Do you have a medicine for that?

It's just a little one.

Tomorrow on our way back, I'll find something to put on it.

You will be pretty again.

Idiot.

Your compliment is embarrassing me.

You really are pretty.

No woman has ever captured me with her beauty before.

(Do you ever think of me?)

(Please answer that for me.)

(Speak what's on your mind.)

(Please assure me with that word.)

(It's all I need.)

(Don't leave my heart waiting.)

(At least say it from your heart.)

(Is this love? Or what is this?)

(What makes my heart)

(tremble every day and night?)

(I don't know if it's love...)

Bua.

Wow!

The stars look beautiful tonight.

They do.

Right?

(Is this love? Or what is this?)

(What makes my heart)

(tremble every day and night?)

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

(You're here with me today.)

(I'm not dreaming, am I?)

What do I use?

Something stung me in the head.

What's that noise?

Oh, crap!

Mr. Wasp, please leave me alone.

No! Ouch!

What took you so long?

Did you get some herbs?

Do I eat that?

I'm using the peel to make your medicine.

What happened to you?

A wasp stung me.

What? How did that happen?

I went looking for your medicine.

I didn't see a wasp nest fallen on the ground.

You're too careless.

Do you know how dangerous a wasp's sting is?

I'm a doctor. I know.

Yeah, my great doctor.

Let me see.

Have you put medicine on it?

I applied some wax.

You're lucky you're not allergic.

If you are, it can be lethal.

Are you cursing me?

Oh, I saw some betel leaves on the way here.

I think that should relieve your pain.

I think you can be a doctor now.

You remember what herbs do.

I'm talented. You can't put me down.

I'll go get some for you.

Stay here. Don't be naughty, and don't let anything hurt you.

Yes, Madam Bua.

Stay still.

I don't have the medicine with me?

Here. I got some, Thong-on.

Thong-on!

Are you allergic?

Thong-on!

Can you hear me?

Thong-on, how are you feeling?

Medicine? You need medicine.

Thong-on, where is your medicine?

Thong-on!

Did you take it?

You must have something for this!

Thong-on!

What should I do?

I need medicine.

Thong-on, what ingredients do I need?

- What's the name of the medicine? Tell me. - Bua.

Trigonostemon reidioides...

Trigo...

Thong-on, hang in there.

I'll be right back. Hang in there, Thong-on.

Is anyone here?

Is someone there?

Help me!

Help me!

Thong-on, hang in there.

Uncle.

Uncle, help me!

Uncle, do you know a "trigonestemos?"

I don't.

Do you know anyone who knows?

Do you mean "trigonostemon?"

I think so.

My friend got stung by a wasp.

Then that's what to use.

Where does it grow? Take me there.

You can't find it in the jungle here.

Take this.

Thank you so much.

This contains liquor.

Do you remember how to use it?

I do.

Thank you again.

Go.

Thong-on.

I got your medicine. Hang in there.

Take this.

Thong-on.

Don't die on me.

You have to be fine.

Why are you crying now?

I'm not dead.

I was scared. I was scared you'd die.

Do you care about me this much?

Let me go.

You shouldn't be hugging me like this.

Bua.

You have to hug me back.

Hug you?

I hugged you.

You have to hug me back

to console me

and tell me you're fine.

I'm fine now.

Don't worry.

I'll be back.

There you are.

Hold this.

This must hurt a lot.

It doesn't.

Don't lie to me.

I know it hurts a lot.

When we get home, I'll put more medicine on you.

I was scared.

I was so scared I forgot the pain.

You toughed it out for me.

It's between a scratch and your life.

Even if I got hurt worse,

I'd still have done it.

I appreciate that.

Bua, you saved my life.

I'll never forget what happened today.

It's a bad thing.

Why would you remember it?

There's nothing worth remembering.

(Ever since we met...)

You're still in shock.

(With you by my side...)

I'm here to tell you it's alright now.

(Ever since we laid eyes,)

(my heart has changed.)

There, there.

Everything is alright now, Bua.

(Is this love? Or what is this?)

(What makes my heart)

(tremble every day and night?)

(I don't know if it's love)

(or it's just a dream.)

(You're here with me today.)

You did a great job.

(You're here with me today.)

(I'm not dreaming, am I?)

Thong-on.

Where have you been all night?

Your father and mother were worried sick, you know?

You're grown up.

You can't act childish like you used to, Thong-on.

My parents scolding me wasn't enough.

Do I need to get scolded by you too?

Don't be so harsh with me.

I have just avoided death.

What happened to you?

Well...

I got stung by a bug. I'm fine now.

I'll be upstairs.

I'm here to deliver my medicine, Masters.

It hasn't been ten days yet.

Why are you submitting your work so soon, Thong-on?

I have completed it.

I think you should say, "I have made something."

Whether it is complete or not,

we will be the judge of that.

When will you be done with your judgment, Masters?

What illness have you made this medicine for?

Asthma, Masters.

We already have a number of medicines for asthma.

Why do you feel the need to come up with a new one?

Those existing medicines are for symptom relief.

None of them

cures asthma completely, sir.

That makes sense.

So tell me.

What are your ingredients? How do you cook it?

The five lotuses, the five kushta,

wild turmeric, jewel orchid, coffee senna,

Indian long pepper, hibiscus moschatus,

and tobacco leaves mixed with strobilanthes tonkinensis leaves.

Mix them in red lime water.

As for the cooking method,

ground the mixture finely

and divide them into two equal portions.

Marinate one portion in white spirit for five days and dry it in the sun.

Ground it again.

And mix it with the other portion.

After that, mix them together

and add Triphala.

Leave it for five days.

Then dry it in the sun.

Ground it again.

Roll it into balls to take with honey.

Wow!

That sounds interesting.

Why is your method so complicated?

I calculated using the number method.

It took me many processes to get it right, Master.

Did you learn the number method from Doctor Saeng?

I did, but I have yet to master it, Father.

What do you name this medicine?

Pathumnapha, Master.

That's a nice name.

Lastly,

we have to test the medicine on a number of patients.

If it works well,

you will pass the test.

Am, Siam is surely going to war.

Chom, what are you talking about?

He is speaking the truth. My uncle is saying that too.

If we were going to war, my father would be in the healing ward.

Is it really going to happen?

What does it say in the letter of The King's Chief of Royal Medicine?

Why are you stunned like that, dear?

A war with Vietnam is looming.

Doctors are summoned to heal the soldiers.

Are we having another battle, dear?

Thongthae.

You are enlisted to go with me.

Yes, Father.

I'll go with you.

You focus on your study.

How is your study going?

I don't have school now. I can go, right?

We're going to battle.

We're not hanging out.

You stay home and listen to your grandmother.

Dear.

Can you not take our son with you?

There are so many other doctors.

I know I won't get my wish.

All I ask is,

please keep our son from harm, dear.

And yourself too.

I wish you a safe return.

Please promise me.

I promise.

In battle, apart from the army,

doctors and medicine are equally important.

The duty to guard the doctors

and our medicine inventory falls to Master Han

and his disciples from Pad Riew.

Can you do that?

Yes, my lord.

Doctors.

We have thousands of soldiers in your care.

We need your help.

This will require a lot of your effort.

- Yes, my lord. - Yes, my lord.

We don't wish to make efforts at all.

We aren't lazy,

but if the efforts of doctors are not required,

that means everyone is safe.

You are certainly right.

I hope we will not have to make such efforts.

I'm counting on you.

- Yes, my lord. - Yes, my lord.

Doctor Thongkham.

You and the doctors,

please do everything as you wish in the healing ward.

Don't worry.

We promise

to prevent any danger from coming near you.

Thank you, Master Han.

Everyone, let's prepare some medicine.

Yes.

Let's go, everyone.

Split up and scout around.

Look for escape routes and report back to me.

- Yes, Master. - Yes, Master.

Split up. You go there.

Don't just stay still. I'm worried.

Don't say anything. Pack your stuff and leave, Master.

A person's destiny is already written.

Whether I say it or not,

it will happen regardless.

Master, then please say what you see.

I can accept anything.

Madam Thieb.

Please bear to listen.

Your husband and son went to battle.

If you know what will happen,

it's better than knowing nothing.

Then speak of what you see now.

This journey is not a safe one.

How is it not safe?

What's going to happen to whom? How serious is it going to be?

Tell me everything.

Yes, Madam.

I'm not trying to shock you,

but I'll tell you this so you can prepare.

Listen carefully. The doctors will face some serious incidents.

Some are more serious.

Some are less so.

You delusional fortuneteller!

You dare speak of misfortune in my house!

Leave right now!

A turtle's shell knows the weather.

Go. Just go.

Everything I said will happen.

Do you know what's going to happen?

Do you know you're getting kicked today?

- Do you? - Come on. Thong-on. Don't do this!

Madam?

Actually,

I haven't finished speaking.

Do you still want to listen?

Just say what you see.

In this war,

from this house,

two will die.

Eat my foot!

- Madam! - You're delusional!

Madam!

- Madam Thieb? - Madam fainted.

- Help! - Thong-on!

- Madam! - Help her!

- Aunt Thieb. - Madam!

Jampa, get the inhaler.

Inhaler? Yes, Madam.

Madam! My madam!

Madam Thieb.

We have made merits to our enemies from the previous life.

It's going to relieve some misfortune.

Can't we just relieve it all?

I don't want even a small misfortune to happen to our family.

Nothing is going to happen to anyone.

That fortune teller just wants to sell his misfortune relief.

Thong-on.

There's no harm in listening.

What do you get by listening to him?

You know the future, but what can you do?

Can you summon my father and brother home now?

No matter what fate they will share,

they have to perform their duties on the battlefield.

You and Aunt Thieb should relax.

No matter what happens,

you shouldn't be sad or anxious before it happens.

Grandmother, what's wrong with my father and grandfather?

Nothing's wrong.

They are doctors.

Wait for me, Uncle Thong-on.

My father left home this morning.

What about your brother and father, Thong-on?

Have they left?

They have.

Why didn't they take us with them?

We can treat injuries now.

I want to go and help my father.

If you want to go,

ask our masters.

Which one can we ask? They all went to battle.

Doctor!

Someone got shot!

- It hurts! - This way.

Hey.

- It hurts! - Thongthae, get me a knife.

I'll get something to numb the pain. I'll get some paracress.

- Give me some bandage. - I've prepared it.

Here.

- It hurts! - Here.

Hang in there.

Here it is.

Here, Father.

Hang in there.

Take this.

You want to go to war?

Yes, sir.

If you would grant me permission, my lord.

You're still a student, aren't you?

I'm only waiting for my test, sir.

A war

is no place for a student.

You should spend this time preparing for your test.

Without all my masters, who is going to test me?

- I should... - I'll test you myself.

I'm still here for all you children.

What do you want?

We're here to ask for permission to go treat the soldiers

in this war, my lord.

I know

you are worried about your fathers.

You are worried about your loved ones.

I'm not the one who can grant you permission.

You all

should go home and study your textbook.

Get ready for your test.

Give me some bandages.

Doctor!

- Doctor! - Go over there. Lie down.

Let me see you.

We need stitches, or he's not going to make it.

Get some stitching equipment.

There's still more coming in.

- How many are coming? - A lot.

- Let's see them. - This way, Doctors.

If you have time, tend to the wounded!

Press this on the wound.

This way, Doctors.

Father, we have too many injured soldiers.

The healing ward isn't big enough.

And we have too few doctors.

Get the wounded soldiers inside.

Is anyone in there available? Come help here! Quick!

If you have time, come and help the wounded!

Quick!

Get up slowly. Easy.

- Take him in. - Hang in there.

- Can you get up? - Take them away.

Get up slowly. Take it easy.

- I'm here. - Hang in there.

- Let's go. - Wait here.

Is it my internal heat,

or is the weather too hot?

It's hot, Madam Thieb.

Are we all getting too anxious?

I feel really hot too.

It's unusually hot.

Everyone in the market says so too.

Are we having some kind of disaster?

What season is this?

It's the cold season, Madam.

Yeah. I know that.

I'll cook something to relieve your heat.

I'll go and help Bua.

This is Som Chun.

Did you make it for me?

What's on your mind?

I'm just standing here.

Nothing's on my mind.

I can tell you're worried about someone.

I am.

I'm worried about my father and brother.

I want to go and help them out in battle.

I understand,

but I think it's good that you're home.

We need you here to take care of the Madams.

If you go too,

they're going to be really sad.

If all I can do is wait,

it's getting on my nerves too.

Then eat it.

Lychee with condiments tastes good.

It's called Som Chun, a name for food.

The taste lastingly sticks to the tongue.

It's so sweet with a hundred things sprung.

It's delicious. It's refreshing.

Look! It's a comet.

What are you doing?

I'm making a wish.

What I wish for will come true.

Where did you learn that from?

I only heard that a shooting star means bad luck.

Our beliefs are different.

Let's just believe what we believe in.

What did you wish for?

I wish for the safe returns of those who went to war.

Your father and brother will be safe.

A comet is shooting across the sky.

The comet is heading southwest.

The tail points south.

Maen. Give me a piece of paper and a pen.

I need to write a report about this

and submit it to the king.

Year of the Tiger.

The tenth month.

Why are you reporting this to the king?

This comet,

the Westerners call it "fire star."

When we see one,

a rain drought usually follows.

We'll lack food. Everything becomes expensive. There will be disasters.

I need to report this to the king,

so we can prepare to deal with it.

It's alright, Maen.

It's nothing.

It's just a bolt of lightning.

What's that fire?

That's...

What's going on, Your Highness?

The lightning struck the porch of the kitchen.

This comet

will definitely bring misfortune to Siam.

I'll go and take a look.

My goodness!

Why is the comet stopping in the sky?

I don't know.

I've never seen this before in my life.

It's scary. I can't bear it anymore.

I'm going to bed.

Hey, wait for me!

I'm going too.

Why did you leave me alone? Wait for me!

Hey!

Our masters went to battle.

I thought we were getting days off.

Yet we're copying a ton of books!

Gosh. It's boring.

You all, let's go and hang out.

Yeah. Good idea, Sook.

I'm going with you.

Let Thong-on works hard alone.

Do you want to go with us?

- He doesn't want to go. Leave him. - Come! Help!

Come in!

What's going on?

Come in! This way, please!

Come on in.

Lay them down here.

What's wrong with them?

I don't know.

Everyone is sick with the same symptoms.

They have diarrhea and vomit.

This is the cure for our boredom.

Let me look at them.

His Semha is intensified.

His Pitta and Wata are decadent.

This symptom,

I think it's food poisoning.

Let's get some medicine.

- Let's go. - Go.

Bua.

Bua, help me.

Hey, sit down.

I went to the field three or four times already, Bua.

Tell me what you eat to make you take a dump that much.

I think it's some green curry that's left overnight.

I didn't know it's gone bad.

That's why. Next time you eat leftover food, re-heat it first.

If you see it has gone bad or has a change in color or smell,

or if it's sticky,

just throw it away. Don't eat it, okay?

Don't nag just yet.

Help me first, Bua. I feel so weak.

How can I help you? We don't have a doctor here.

Bua, it's coming again.

I don't even have the strength to go to the field.

- Bua! - Wait for me.

Bua, my mouth is getting pale!

Diarrhea is cured with rice soup with a little salt.

Bua, you're doing the right thing.

Just tell her to avoid foods with a strong taste for now.

Coconut juice, Bua.

Coconut juice helps return her strength.

You've got a lot better, Bua.

If you can do this, you almost don't need a doctor.

You're the one who taught me.

We have a lot of people here.

We deal with illnesses often.

We should do what we can by ourselves.

If it's serious,

you need a doctor.

Okay. I'll give this to Phad.

Okay.

- Here, Granny. - Here's your medicine.

Help me, Yod.

Thong-on.

Bua.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to tell you Phad got food poisoning.

She wants some medicine.

Why are there so many patients? What's wrong?

It's diarrhea.

I think they got food poisoning too.

This many?

Yes. I don't know what to feed them.

We have to be careful about food.

Let's do this, then.

I'll cook for the patients here.

I can make something clean, safe, and hygienic.

Doctor!

Come help my son.

Doctor!

My son has been sleeping since last night and won't wake up.

Thong-on.

His body is all stiff.

He's been dead for hours.

Everyone, listen.

You can trust us.

Please don't doubt us at all.

In wartime, we need sufficient food

that's easy to carry around and can be kept for long.

All Royal Doctor students are to serve on the battlefield urgently.

I'll come home soon. I have to go.

I'll wait until you come home.

Some doctors and soldiers

have been captured by the enemies, sir.

I'll save my brother!

- Hey, Thong-on! - Stop! Thong-on!
