Princess!

All of this is for you, Ananchalee.

In all my lives to come, may I never love this man again.

-A. -Yes?

Keng is having a fit. Mom's at it again. Hurry.

-I can take care of him. Back off! -Please stop.

-Please calm down. Please. -Let go. More. Give him more.

It's not safe.

Please stop!

Please move back.

Please move away. Move back here.

Turn him over.

Get the needle. Give him 7mg of Valium.

Okay.

-Give the second dose in five minutes. -Okay.

The spirit is out. This holy water is sacred.

Move away. Move. I'm giving my son this holy water.

Excuse me.

He suffers from epilepsy, not spirits.

His seizures stop because of the dose given, not the holy water.

If you don't believe it, then mind your own business.

Then you can do whatever you like.

The germs in the water you're giving to your child

may make him choke and also infect his lungs.

And if his lungs are infected,

Mother can call to reserve the crematorium.

Don't blame me.

Bew, wipe him down and change his clothes.

-Tell Nero to adjust the anti-epileptics. -Okay.

Let me go.

-I have to talk to her today. -Please don't.

-Let go of me. -Please calm down.

Stop right there. Let me go.

How could you say that? You're a doctor. You have to cure the patient.

How dare you curse my child!

I didn't curse him. I just warned you.

I don't care what you believe but be reasonable.

Believing with no principle, that's called being superstitious.

One day, you're going to get what's coming for you.

Are you all right?

They already have tours to Mars.

I can't believe people are still superstitious.

Thai people have believed in superstitions for so long.

Today is Tuesday. You wear white. It leads to misfortune, so you have bad luck.

So all doctors and nurses have bad luck then.

You're nuts. You're talking nonsense.

Oh no! What now?!

More haste, less speed.

!!!WARNING!!! CRACKED CEMENT WALL

Aw! Useless.

The ward just pinged me. Let's go.

You can go. I'll stay here a bit longer.

Okay.

DR. LULN GRANDPA AT NAKA THEVALAI IS SO FRIENDLY.

DON'T FORGET TO VISIT HIM WHEN YOU'RE HERE.

Hey.

Ah!

What is this dust?

Hey! Who's up there?! Hey!

Hey! Move back!

Move back! Doctor, move back!

Hey! Get back. Get back from there!

Hey! She's over there!

-Doctor! Get her inside. Quick! -Hurry. Get her inside.

-Please move away. -Make way.

Please help protect my child.

Help me find my child.

Please keep him safe. Amen.

NAHA THEVALAI PHANOM NAGA VILLAGE

Wannate. Is that you?

Wannate…

Hey! He's over there.

-Wannate. -You two, go! The rest, come with me.

Please don't do anything to my child.

Please. Please don't harm him.

-Hey. Stop running. Come here. -Hey. Stop.

Wannate!

Hey! Stop!

Ah!

Stop!

Wannate.

-You guys go over there. -You go!

I'm going to cure you. Why are you running?

Yae!

No!

-What the heck are you doing?! -My child.

-Argh! -Dang it!

Oh no!

-No! Wannate. Let him go. -Take him!

-Let me go! Let me go! -Take him.

-Let me go. -Take him.

-My son. -You're strong.

So strong?!

-Let's go. -Don't.

Stop struggling.

Wannate.

-Take him to the hut in the back. -Take him where?

-The hut in the back. -Get up.

Be careful.

Don't worry. Let him carry the boy.

Okay.

Oh. Hello.

Wannate.

Go inside. Don't go anywhere.

Stay here. Go nowhere.

My grandchild.

My grandchild.

Everyone, be quiet!

Be quiet. All of you too.

This ichthyosis is from the curse of the Naga King.

I'll ask him to lift the curse.

Then they will be cured. Don't worry.

I took my child to the doc so many times.

No doctor could cure him.

-That's right. Please help me. -I told you!

I told you not to bring him to the doc.

I can cure him. Do you get it?

These children are the descendants of Phanom Naga.

I am too.

Be quiet. Quiet!

Tonkow.

Everyone! Listen! Listen to me!

You won't get treated if you're stubborn.

We will bring you some meds.

Now, you can go home. Go home.

You can't stay here. Now go!

Go now go!

-Keep your eyes open. -Okay.

Woah!

Woah!

-It's me. -Doctor Luln.

Don't be afraid. I'll help all of you.

But now you have to help me first.

What do you want us to do?

I'm coming to Bangkok.

I should arrive tomorrow morning.

I'll give the blood sample and biopsy to the professor at the medical center.

I'll send you some pictures.

Don't forward them to anyone else.

I'll see you later.

-Hi. -Hello. How may I help you?

I have an appointment with Dr. Preeda.

-Can I please have your ID card? -Yes.

Please wait a moment.

PRIDA MEDICAL CENTER WE HAVE FAITH IN GOODNESS.

DR. PRIDA TRAKULKORN

These are the blood samples and biopsies from the children at Phanom Naga.

I've sent you pictures through email.

I already saw them. I'll send them to the lab.

-Have you told anyone? -I told A.

A is a pediatric dermatologist. Maybe she can help me plan the treatment.

When will the lab results come back?

I'll make them a priority. Shouldn't be longer than tomorrow.

I know you want to help these kids.

I do too.

I was right to come to you, Professor.

Congratulations on being the best doctor of the year.

WOOTHICHAI KRANGSUMRID ANCHALEE THOMBARAY

ANCHALEE THOMBARAY

Thanks.

I saw the photos and the lab results that you sent to me.

Why did the lab conclude that it was ichthyosis?

The rashes that they have are thicker and much more severe.

I first thought the lab result was wrong.

But the professor confirmed it.

Luckily, the biopsies showed it wasn't an infectious disease.

It's not an epidemic.

But you told me that only kids in Phanom Naga have this.

Or is it a genetic disorder?

I briefly talked to them.

When I go back this time, I'll have to get more details.

Can you ask for some biopsies from the professor?

I'll check them in case of any errors.

Okay. I'll send them to you. Thanks a lot.

My pleasure. It's nothing.

Such a kind, beautiful friend. How could I say no?

But I'm not being hard-headed this time.

I really want to help people there.

If not because of Dr. Kham,

Phanom Naga is a very lovely village to live in.

The people are nice. The weather is good.

The village, the mountain and the lake are so beautiful.

If only you would visit.

You would love it like I do.

Right. And then I'll get along worse

with the Naga King medium than you.

What are they thinking?

How can they say a naga is a cause of sickness?

And no one cares to treat them.

These people.

The more they know people love and have faith in them,

the more they think they're powerful.

Truth always defeats power.

Watch me. I'll show those people the truth.

Oh, wow.

Let's go. You're awesome.

Yes, sir.

That doctor sneaked in to see the children.

If she doesn't believe in the Naga King,

then don't let her come back here.

Lahan Sai, Buriram. Yes, Prof. I'm at Lahan Sai.

In Buriram. I'll be in Phanom Naga in 30 minutes.

I'm not sleepy. I had my coffee.

Oh. Professor.

Could you please send the biopsy to A?

Yes. Thank you so much.

I'll text you once I get there.

Okay. Goodbye.

-Sorry. -It's okay.

PREEDA

Yes, Professor?

Please be calm. The police just called me.

Luln was in an accident.

What?!

How is she now?

She didn't make it.

PREEDA MEDICAL CENTER

-Professor. -Oh, A. What are you doing here?

We were to meet at the funeral.

I have something to discuss with you.

About funding some research on childhood diseases.

The lab results confirmed it's ichthyosis.

So why the research?

But Luln and I didn't think so.

Well,

Luln was determined to find a way to treat these kids.

Is there a way you can support me with the funding?

Take it easy. I think it might be a waste of time.

It is okay then.

It's okay.

If it's inconvenient,

I can try to consult with someone else.

That's Dr. Yuenyong, the Permanent Secretary.

Wait, A.

If you're looking for funding, my medical center can provide it.

How are you going to do it alone?

Luln could do it.

I want to do it for her.

Wait a minute.

How about this?

My team and I

have to go to Phanom Naga to treat the children.

I'll let you come along.

You can help treat the children.

Really?

Thank you very much, Professor. Thank you.

I'm glad I came to you.

I really appreciate it.

BURIRAM AIRPORT

Oh, my luggage!

Long time, A.

Nupuk! Is that really you?

Are you all right?!

-Thank you! Please excuse us. -Okay.

Uh,

it is you.

-Nupuk. Hey. -Lower your voice. Everyone can hear you.

-This is yours, right? How clumsy! -Yeah.

-Why didn't you pick up my call? -I was driving.

LOCAL MUSEUM, MUEANG, BURIRAM

-I'm so sorry about your friend. -Hm. Yeah.

I heard she worked late and dozed off.

You work late too so be careful.

How's the case going?

Still can't locate the tractor trailer driver.

Hm.

-Hello, Asia. -Hi.

I'm Sittha. I work under Nupuk.

Nupuk said his sister's friend's coming

and that she's very pretty.

The real you is way prettier than what Nupuk told me.

Maybe she was a parrot in her previous life. Please ignore her.

Thanks, Sittha.

What else did he tell you?

He said that you are a brilliant doctor.

Then I'll go and get my bags ready.

-I'll see you tomorrow. -Okay.

-Bye. -Bye.

Sittha's the daughter of people here.

She finished the sixth grade, but her parents can't afford any more.

-I asked her to help and sent her to NFE. -Hm.

Oh, and from what she mentioned,

we'll go tomorrow?

To Phanom Naga.

The director gave an order to help coordinate with her medical team there.

-Come here. I'll show you something. -Uh.

The district thinks that Phanom Naga comes with strong local

about the Naga King, as he carried on for so long.

They fear problems may occur when the medical team gets there.

So, they're sending me to liaise.

You and Sittha will be there until we're done with our work there, right?

Do you want me to be there or not?

Sure, I want you to.

I was a bit worried I wouldn't know anyone there.

It's good you're coming.

Pink said you had moved and have worked here for quite some time now.

So you can help us.

What else did Pink tell you?

Wait a minute.

Are you afraid I'd know your secrets?

And do you know?

Okay. So you don't know.

KRUT YOOTH NAK

Krut Yooth Nak.

There is a belief that Krut Yooth Nak are siblings from different mothers.

Both mothers didn't see eye to eye.

Garuda's mother asked a hermit who was the father

to make her child eat nagas.

When a lot of nagas were eaten,

they learned they could make themselves heavy by swallowing stones.

The Garudas couldn't carry them and got killed by the sea waves.

The Garudas were looking for solutions.

They found out the nagas were swallowing stones.

So they were caught the nagas by the tails,

hanging them with their heads down to vomit up the stones.

Want to see it more realistically?

The Krut Yooth Nak hologram.

People believe that Krut Yooth Nak

symbolizes power, honor

and great strength.

So the nagas were defeated?

Only the small nagas.

My apologies.

I heard your story. It was fun.

But it's far from the truth.

What's the truth?

Not all were defeated by the Garudas.

-How do you know? -How do you?

Were all the nagas defeated by the Garudas?

Hello, Asia.

Do you know me?

I hope one day we will get to know each other.

But today I'm just warning you.

You shouldn't go to Phanom Naga.

-Why? -Danger is waiting for you there.

What danger? And how did you know?

-Wait. -A.

You're not done talking. What was it?

-Wait. Hold on a minute. -A. Hold on.

A.

Hey. You!

Hey.

Are you in here?

Hello?

Hello?

Are you here?

Please go home, Ananchalee.

All of this is for you, Ananchalee.

Ananchalee.

Me?

A.

What's wrong?

-What is this room? -A storage room.

Where's that guy? Where did he go?

I have no idea.

I followed him here, and he disappeared.

And why did he warn you like that?

Right?

But…

so familiar.

He's like…

Who?

It's nothing. Maybe I was mistaken.

If it's nothing, then where are you going?

Let's go get some food.

Come on.

-Professor. Professor. -Hey.

-Hi, Professor. Hi, Aree. -Hello.

Hello.

I'm Poomkowbin.

I'll help coordinate in the area.

And this is Sittha, my assistant.

Glad to work with you.

This is Dr. Ari, the Chief Pharmacist at Preeda Medical Center.

And this is Sean, my assistant.

And this is View, our nurse.

And I guess you all know Dr. Asia.

We should get to the car.

-Come this way. -We parked right here.

Phanom Naga is a village near the border between Thailand and Cambodia,

adjacent to the Phanom Dong Rak mountain range.

It's quite far and difficult to get there,

so not many people go there.

People here worship nagas.

People believe Phanom Naga is abundant.

It rains seasonally since the nagas look over them.

That's right.

Nagas are very sacred in Phanom Naga.

One time, there was a big storm and a flood.

Nearby rice fields were inundated, and all the rice was ruined.

But Phanom Naka was fine.

I have wanted to pay respect to the Naga Thevalai in Phanom Naga for so long.

And now I really get to go.

Wow. I thought nagas

only live in the Mekong River.

That's not true. I've read about them.

They say nagas live in rivers, mountains and even on land.

That's right. The nagas at Phanom Naga are the ones which live in the mountains.

Nagas are snakes, creatures. Why do we need to pay respect?

Hey.

You can't talk like that to the people of Phanom Naga.

We are here to help them, not to insult them.

Ouch!

What's going on?

It's because you disrespect the nagas. They were sent here to punish us.

Stop with your nonsense. Nagas aren't real.

All right. Please calm down.

It's a forest here. So it's probably normal to have a lot of snakes, right?

I've never seen so many like this. This is very odd.

-I think we should go back. -We can't go back.

We have to get to Phanom Naga no matter what.

Can we find another road?

The other road is too dangerous, and it's too far to detour.

We can just drive through them. Run them over.

No way! I'm not running them over. These are snake guardian spirits.

-Whatever snakes they are, run over them. -That's right. Run over them.

Let's back up.

Please calm down everyone. Be still.

Everyone, calm down. Stay still!

How did he do that?

Thank you.

How did you chase them away?

It's a gift people like my family inherited.

I can't tell you because it's a secret.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Anantachai.

I appreciate it.

I'm Dr. Preeda.

We are heading to Phanom Naga village.

I know you have to come here no matter what.

I stay at Phanom Naga.

I heard the district is sending a team of doctors.

That's right. We'll be treating children there.

You didn't listen.

I have to work there.

So this is the danger you told me about?

This is not it. The work you do

will be harder and more dangerous than you think.

Thank you for warning me,

but I have to complete my mission there.

Maybe it's nothing

because we have already coordinated with the village chief.

The person who decides what happens to the children

isn't the village chief but Shaman Kham.

If you want to help the children, I'll take you to his residence.

The children are kept there.

Just follow me.

Let's get into the car.

So charming, Dr. A. You've been here a few days, and a guy is taking care of you.

Ari.

Asia.

You knew Anantachai?

I met him at a museum yesterday.

He warned me not to go to Phanom Naga.

Who is he?

I really don't know, Ari.

I barely talked to him that day.

Or maybe he followed you here.

I think you should be careful.

Wow. Very attractive.

But I think he is friendlier than some people around here.

And he seems to be really worried about you.

Sittha.

So anyone who's good-looking is a good person?

So you admit that he's good-looking, right?

Park here on the left.

On our left is Naga Thevalai.

There are naga statues inside. They're siblings and protect the area.

People strongly respect them.

Father told me

to collect these and offer them to the temple of the Naga King.

The temple of the Naga King.

That's right. People here call him the Naga King.

How did you know?

Oh.

My friend, Dr. Luln, told me that.

In this temple, there are two naga statues. They are siblings.

The elder has dark blue eyes.

The younger has red eyes.

Welcome to Phanom Naga, Ananchalee.

Anakechart!

Anakechart!

Master is bringing her here.

Anakechart!

Or are you going to let them love one another again?

Why the silence?

Are you going to let the master win?

Anakechart!

I'm not letting him win.

Anantachai is going to fail.

He imprisoned you here.

How are you going to beat him?

I'm going to get Manee Naga back.

Manee Naga,

that you hid somewhere a thousand years ago?

That's right.

When I get my Manee Naga,

I will get my power back as well.

And you…

If you don't want Anantachai to belong to others…

then cooperate.

No.

I'll never betray my master.

Ow!

Fine.

Fine.

Then watch Anantachai slip out of your hands.

I will also wait and see

your naga rank slip out of your hands again.

This is the residence of Dr. Kham, the medium of this village.

Parents bring their children here to get treated.

Dr. Kham.

When I was here before, Shaman Kham wasn't the medium people respected.

I think it was Berm.

He was Shaman Kham's brother. But he left the village long ago.

Shaman Kham has replaced him for a long time now.

People who feed on people's faith are everywhere.

This way.

Hello. Are you here for the shaman?

But you have to wait a little.

We're here to see the children. Are they here?

Yes, they are.

You have to get the shaman's permission before you enter.

-Uh. Wait. You need to wait. -What? Argh.

-Hey! -No! Professor.

I told you to wait in line.

-We just want to see him. -No one can get in.

What's wrong with you? I said wait.

This way.

Sittha, what are they doing?

This is a ceremony to get rid of bad luck. My hometown has it too.

That's called Kratong Gow Hong.

The middle box represents the bad luck.

Around are the guardians of the eight directions.

They say that angels, ghosts and evil spirits

will come to receive the offerings.

And that person will be rid of misfortune.

Don't be afraid.

The Naga King will cure you.

-Don't be scared. -Naree.

You have to tolerate it a bit. The shaman will help you get better.

Try to bear it. It's okay. You'll be back to normal again.

Everyone, watch. The Naga King will help us.

Don't be afraid. Don't worry.

The servant naga of our hermit who is this naga King

will suck the poison out of you, and you will be fine.

Everyone, listen. The power of the Naga King.

Wow. He is very sacred.

Oh, wow!

Wow. Amen.

Thank you for helping our children.

All right. How is it? Are you better?

Okay. Get up. Go to your mom and your grandma.

Boil it. Give it to her in the morning and evening.

-How much is it for the ceremony? -Up to your faith.

The Naga King wants me to be his medium,

to cure the children of Phanom Naga.

Seeing them running around, that makes me happy.

-Make merits for him. -Amen. Amen.

Hold on.

The scars that they have…

They have nothing to do with them being able to run around.

Who are you?

They are not from Phanom Naga.

We are doctors.

The district sent us to treat the children.

What?

Get out.

The people of Phanom Naga do not welcome you here. Go away.

Then leave! Go. Go away.

You can't tell me to go.

Because I…

have been legally permitted by the sheriff

to treat the children of Phanom Naga. No one is going to stop me.

Let me say for your sake, this disease is the curse of the Naga King.

Doctors like you cannot cure it. Get out.

Go! Leave!

That's not true. Hold on, everyone. That is not true. Listen.

The Naga King has nothing to do with this.

He's lying to you.

Please stop.

Why? How can you just stand there and let him lie?

The needle he used was made of silver.

The color changes because it reacts to sulfur.

The herbs he used on her face

must have had a mixture of sulfur.

Stop using the Naga King to benefit from these people.

Hey!

Do not disrespect the Naga King or Shaman Kham.

I'm not disrespecting them. I'm only telling the truth.

Whatever you just saw,

it is not about the power or miracles of the Naga King.

It is just a trick of…

scammers.

What?!

If you don't stop, he will punish you and your people.

That's right.

Everyone, please listen.

If you don't believe, then leave.

You! You disrespect me.

Come and bow in front of me and apologize.

Or else Phanom Naga will perish.

Oh no!

We told you to leave. Now!

-I'm not going to bow. -Why are you so disrespectful?

Leave now!

Dr. A didn't mean to disrespect the Naga King.

She doesn't believe he can communicate with the Naga King.

You.

You question him too.

Everyone, listen.

If she stays here, Phanom Naga will perish.

Ah! No!

Bow to him!

-Bow to him. -Leave. Get out.

She disrespects me. She is humiliating me.

Ah!

Ugh!

This snake is a servant of the Naga King.

Why did he want to harm you?

There are many things in this world that your science can't prove.

Things can't be seen doesn't mean they don't exist.

Things can be seen sometimes can't be trusted.

I told you to drink it!

-So, you're back. -Asia will love me again.

And dispel the curse.

I will do worse than I had done.

You know that I'm not a stranger to you.

How can I trust you?

You'll have to find out.
