Laor has taken on one of the most dangerous tasks.

If you have a problem with that,

you can tell me.

I want you to follow the plan that you have made with Sun.

I believe that Sun will lead us

to the true leader of the Thapana Association.

How can it be genuine

when it doesn't bear the royal stamp?

Boss.

We have intruders.

Who are you working for? Damn it!

Hey.

Stop right there!

Drop your weapon.

No!

I want to negotiate.

Take me to your boss.

My boss wants you all dead.

There will be no negotiation.

Veena, trust me on this.

Veena.

Veena.

Are you okay?

Thank you, Your Highness.

Hey!

Uncle.

Are you all right?

Your dad told me everything.

I came straight here.

Damn it.

These cocky rebels are pushing their luck.

They even tried to assassinate the crown prince.

We must snuff out these rebels

before their spark catches fire.

I'm going to find the person who's behind all of this.

Are you okay?

Yes.

We found another way out.

Let's go.

Where is Laorchan?

Tell me where Laorchan is!

Stop resisting. You'll die soon anyway.

You're a pretty girl.

Too bad you have to die here.

What's going on, Laor?

Why was the sapphire a fake? Who did you call?

I wanted to prove to them

that you're not a rebel.

Them? Who is them?

Gosh!

Run, Laor! Run!

Run!

Hey.

What?

Hey, Wut.

Are you okay?

Go after them. They went that way.

-Okay. -Hurry.

Go after them.

Are you hurt, Laor?

I'm okay.

You have to get out.

I'll lead them away from you.

No.

You must come with me, Sun.

We could both get killed if we stick together.

I can focus better if I know you're safe.

Here.

Take this.

Keep this safe for me.

I'll come back for it.

What?

No.

No, Sun.

No.

This way. Come on.

Come out!

Don't worry.

I got this.

Promise me that you will be back soon.

Over here!

Laor.

Hey!

How are you doing, Soodsadakon?

Drop your gun.

I said drop it!

Drop the gun.

Arrest them.

-Take them away. -Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Move it.

Get her!

Hey!

Shit.

Get her!

Come here.

-Get up. -Let me go.

-Come here. -Let me go.

Move it.

Stop resisting.

No!

Laor.

Laor.

I'm here to rescue you, Laor.

Laor, you're safe now.

Mr. Phu.

Mr. Phu, what are you doing here?

I'll get you out of here.

All the doors at the back are locked.

We can't get out.

We'll leave the way we came in.

Let's go.

Come on.

I think Sun is still inside.

I'm going back for him.

Wait. It's dangerous.

No. I have to go back for him. Let me go.

All right. I'll go with you.

Gosh!

Run!

Mr. Phu.

This place is going to blow up. Hurry and get out of here.

Hurry. Come on.

Get out of here! Hurry!

Keep walking.

Move it.

Get in.

Get in there.

Uncle.

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

This place must be their armory.

I'll handle this.

Veena.

Colonel, do you copy?

Colonel, do you copy?

Colonel, do you copy?

It's not safe, Your Highness.

No. I'm going to help my friend.

There he is!

Everyone, get down!

Phu.

Sun.

Sun!

Sun! Let me go!

Let me go to him!

It's dangerous, Laor.

Let me go! Sun!

-Sun! -Come on.

Let me go! Sun!

Sun!

Let me go, Mr. Phu.

I'm going to help Sun.

It's dangerous in there.

No.

Sun! No!

Sun!

No.

Sun!

Sun!

No!

Sun.

Take Soodsadakon, Wisai, and Lamnao

to the royal guard's interrogation room.

Lock the rest up in the dungeon.

Yes, Your Highness.

Every one of them

deserves the death penalty

for treason.

We need to conduct an investigation

and give them a fair trial according to law.

If we don't execute them

and exterminate these rats,

we'll have to keep fighting their successors.

It has been like this for many generations.

I'll put a new regime in place.

Everyone will have equal rights.

But everyone needs to understand

the responsibility that comes with increased freedoms.

I think everyone will be satisfied.

We should let my dad know what happened.

Where's Laorchan?

She wants to be alone for a while.

Will you keep her company?

Yes, sir.

Why are you making that face, Laor?

You have done enough for me.

When it comes to you, nothing could ever be enough.

I'm willing to help you

for the rest of my life.

Keep this safe for me.

I'll come back for it.

You promised you'd come back for it, Sun.

Why didn't you keep your promise?

Sun died because of me.

I should never have got him involved.

I shouldn't have asked him to come.

Then he would still be alive.

This is all my fault.

Sun loved you.

If he's really gone,

I believe he would be glad

he got to protect you until his last breath.

He didn't even know that the person he was protecting

had lied to him.

At least he got to save the woman he loved.

He didn't deserve to die like this.

It was too cruel.

This is just too cruel.

Laor.

Maybe things aren't as bad as you think.

Maybe Sun managed to escape.

No.

He led them away from me

so I could escape.

He led them further inside.

How could he have made it out?

I left first and I barely made it out of there.

This is all my fault.

The prince wants you

to meet King Rangsimun and Queen Chanta

at the inner court.

It's all my fault.

Are you all okay?

Yes, Your Majesty.

You put yourself in a situation that was bigger than yourself.

I thank you.

Get up and have a seat.

Thank you so much

for risking your life for Viengphukhum.

It was my duty.

I have always believed

that your family

meant this country no harm.

And today,

you've proven to me that

I was right.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Very well.

So,

are you well, Phu?

It has been a year since we last met.

I'm fine, Your Majesty.

I see.

Thank you so much

for putting your life at risk to help Satarasamee.

It's my pleasure.

Viengphukhum is like my second home.

Well…

Gosh.

I still can't believe it.

I…

I can't believe that

the leader of the Manolom Party

and the deputy commissioner of police

are members of the Thapana Association.

I can't believe it either.

I always thought

they seemed composed and calm.

They never showed any sign of antagonism towards us.

Right.

Those who are traitors

might pretend to be loyal and humble

while waiting for a chance to attack.

After we've interrogated them,

how do you plan to proceed?

I'll lead a team to scout the area in Kammuan tomorrow.

We need to find more evidence.

I've ordered the royal guards

to keep watch over the crime scene.

Is this problem really behind us?

I don't think so, Your Majesty.

We might've captured three leaders

of Thapana Association,

but it doesn't mean that

there aren't more of those wretched rebels out there.

I still believe that

there's someone else whom these rebels take orders from.

Someone who's behind all of this

and who is pulling all the strings.

I think so too.

And I must find out who that person is.

Please.

If you three want to live,

start talking right now!

No!

Please.

Who's your boss?

I received an order to pick up Princess Laorchan

as she crossed the river here

with the sapphire third eye.

So you take orders from someone.

Who were you supposed to take

the sapphire to?

I don't know.

That's all I was told to do.

If you prefer to do this the hard way,

I can do this all day

until you start talking.

No!

That's enough.

Your Highness.

Even if you beat me to death,

I can't tell you who the association's leader is.

If you're willing to die for them,

they must be important.

Am I right?

I'm not protecting the association's leader.

I'm doing this to protect my family!

Thapana Association

was founded by people who weren't in favor

of the Phukhumwong dynasty.

After General Segong was captured,

the association's principles changed.

The members just looked out for their own interests.

There was conflict within the group.

Everyone wanted the sapphire for themselves.

That's the reason why

the association's leader

can't reveal his identity.

Are you telling me

everyone is willing to take orders from this leader

without knowing who it is?

Soodsadakon is telling you the truth.

Each mission is carried out in stages.

When we complete our task, another group will take over

to prevent betrayal.

You said you're protecting your family.

What do you mean by that?

The association plays dirty.

They hold our families captive

so that we work for them.

If we succeed,

they release our families and reward us.

But if we fail,

they send us body parts of our family members

or they kill them.

This is how they do it.

This is how they have eyes and ears everywhere.

They know our every move.

If what you said is true,

I want us to work together.

I want to negotiate with the rebels

to put an end to all these atrocities.

I can't condone

the use of violence against the rebels.

I tried to stop him.

I don't approve of his methods either.

I don't want to add fuel to the fire

and incite any more anger or hatred.

I want to try negotiating with them first.

Very well.

What did Prince Anucha say?

At first he disagreed,

but now he's okay with it.

There will be another interrogation.

A judge will be present

to prevent violence.

All right.

You've made the right decision

not to resort to violence.

You can't use violence

to persuade those who hate us to love us.

Well…

What are your thoughts about your uncle?

I have to presume everyone close to us is a suspect.

That includes him.

But he has proved

that he is on our side.

He saved me from getting shot today.

If he really meant me harm,

he could've just turned a blind eye

and walked away.

He could've shot me himself

and I'd be dead.

It's good to be careful

and not trust anyone too easily,

especially those who are close to you.

But if you're too cautious,

it could make those who love and trust you

to become discouraged

and to lose faith in you.

Therefore,

you must learn to manage the trust that you have for others.

Don't trust anyone too much

or too little.

Find out

who are your true friends

and who are your enemies.

You should stay here.

Keep Laor company.

Yes, Your Highness.

Wait, Your Highness.

Laor.

Are you heading to the crime scene

in Khammouane?

Yes.

Can I come with you?

It could make things worse.

Will you be able to take it if you see Sun in that state?

No matter what state he's in,

he's still my friend.

He's my closest friend.

But I think it's too dangerous.

I need to see for myself

that Sun's really gone.

Please let me say goodbye to him one last time.

Let's go.

Gosh.

Laor.

Get up slowly.

Sun isn't here.

The bodies

are barely recognizable.

Why do you think Sun is dead?

Try to stay positive.

Sun might be alive.

If he were still alive,

he would've contacted me.

He would do whatever it takes

to get in touch with me.

He might be hurt.

Maybe he ran away.

Or maybe he isn't ready to reach out to you.

I remember where we got separated.

Can I go and look for him?

What's wrong, Laor?

Wait, Laor.

Give me a second.

-This is his shoe. -What?

It's his shoe.

Sun.

Sun.

Lieutenant.

We found another body.

What?

Sun.

-Sun. -Laor.

This necklace.

It's his.

It's Sun's necklace.

Sun.

-Sun! -Come on, Laor.

Get Laorchan out of here.

All right.

-Laor. -Come on, Laor.

-Sun. -Let's go.

Sun, I'm so sorry.

-I'm sorry, Sun. -Let's go, Laor.

I didn't mean for this to happen.

-I'm sorry, Sun. -Laor.

No.

Take care of the body.

Sun.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Sun's in a better place now.

You have to be strong, Laor.

Sun wouldn't want you

to be sad like this.

It's my fault.

Is it really him?

Laor knew him better than anyone.

I'm so sorry, Sun.

This is all my fault.

Laor.

This is all my fault.

May your soul rest in peace, Sun.

If there is a next life,

I hope we get to be friends again.

Please wait for me here.

Once I've taken care of my family matters,

I'll come and take you home.

Thank you.

Hello, Uncle Chai Yai.

I didn't think you'd get here so soon.

After King Rangsimun phoned me yesterday,

I took the first flight here.

I see.

I'm really sorry about your friend.

Thank you, Mr. Chai Yai.

Thank you so much

for agreeing to advise us on this matter.

It's my pleasure.

Shall we begin?

The archive is in another building.

Someone will be here to assist us.

Ms. Salika is here.

Hello.

How are you all doing?

Salika is the director of the National Museum

and an expert in Viengphukhum's ancient language.

She will assist us today.

I see.

It's nice to meet you all.

I'll do my best to help you.

But please be informed that

the building is only a temporary depository.

The museum is currently being renovated.

Things are a bit disorganized.

We're in the process of cataloging the artifacts.

So it might be a bit difficult to find things in there.

Would you mind telling me what you're looking for?

We're looking for Prince Siwilai's journal.

It has a blue velvet cover

with his monogram in the middle.

Have you come across it?

As far as I can remember,

I haven't seen

a journal bearing Prince Siwilai's name.

But that doesn't mean it's not there.

We still haven't gone through half of the artifacts.

I see.

They haven't done a thorough check.

There's a chance they might have missed it.

Right.

All of us will look for it together.

Please follow me, everyone.

This way, Your Highness.

After you.

There are many artifacts here.

Let's split up and search the place.

What we're looking for

is Prince Siwilai's journal

or any other documents that might be relevant.

If you find something, bring it to me.

Please help us, Salika.

-All right. -Let's split up.

Let's go.

Journals are kept in the back.

I'll go and check over there.

Did you find anything?

No.

Here you go.

Let me see.

I don't think this is it.

I'll have another look.

Salika, have the kitchen prepare snacks and coffee for us outside.

Yes, Your Highness.

Hey, everyone.

Let's take a snack break.

We've looked everywhere but haven't found it.

Is it possible that

the journal was lost in the fire?

That's not possible.

My dad insisted that

when the fire broke out,

the journal was the first thing my great-grandpa grabbed.

My dad was just a kid then,

but he told me that

my great-grandpa never let anyone touch that journal.

It was his most prized possession.

Did your dad know

where the journal ended up?

That was the last time my dad saw the journal.

My great-grandpa sent him to study in France after that,

so he didn't know where the journal was kept.

But I'm sure that

the journal is here somewhere.

All right.

Excuse me.

Poom, what are you doing here?

Hi.

Hello, Uncle.

I'm here

on a secret mission with my commander.

I've already been to see the King and Queen.

All right.

Let's look over there.

Excuse me. The coffee's ready.

Please follow me.

All right. Let's go.

-Let's take a break. -After you.

-Let's go. -All right.

Come on.

This way, everyone.

You haven't found it?

There are many of us.

We'll find it soon.

Please help yourself.

Are there other artifact rooms here?

There are many.

Where is Laor?

I didn't see her when I came in with the kitchen staff.

Maybe she went to the bathroom.

Right.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

Gosh!

Poom.

How long will you be here?

Three days.

But I'm off duty tomorrow

and the day after.

The royals invited my commander

to a private party.

-I see. -So I'll be free.

Let me know if you need my help with anything.

Your Highness.

Can you help us find Prince Siwilai's journal today?

I know you can do it.

Come on, Phu.

I'm not a psychic

who can communicate with spirits.

I only see what they want me to see.

If they don't want me to see it,

then I won't see anything.

All right.

Mr. Phu!

Your Highness! Ms. Salika!

Help me!

-Mr. Phu! -Laor.

Mr. Phu!

Help me.

Laor.

-Laor. -Mr. Phu, I'm in here!

Laor!

Please allow me.

Laorchan.

Laor.

Laor.

She's awake.

How are you, Laor?

What…

What happened?

Why are you all here?

We should ask you

what you were doing in that storeroom.

Wait.

That wasn't a dream?

I followed someone into that room.

That's impossible.

The palace is very strict about who comes and goes here.

You can't enter this building

without the King's permission.

Even me,

I have to get his permission

every time I come to work here.

Today,

besides the crown prince's crew

and the staff who came to set up the snack table,

no one else had permission to enter this building.

I'm positive.

Was it a man or a woman

that led you in there?

It was a woman.

She was dressed like a royal.

I have no female relatives who work here at the palace.

All the women here are palace staff.

They're all under 30 years old.

Who did you see?

More importantly,

how did you and that woman

get into that room?

The keys

to every room in this building

are with me.

When I followed that woman in there,

the door wasn't locked.

That's impossible.

No one has been in that room

since we put things in there for storage.

That door has always been locked.

I know because I locked it myself.

She's right, Laor.

We ran to you when we heard you scream.

The door was locked.

So that's why

I couldn't get the door to open.

This is so confusing.

How did you get into that room?

Who did you follow in there?

Did that woman look like you, Laor?

Yes.

But I have no relatives that look like Laor.

I've worked here for many years

and I've never seen anyone like that.

What's going on,

Poom?

How did you know

that she looked like Laor

when you were with us the whole time?

I told you, Jhao.

Poom was born with a sixth sense.

He can predict what's going to happen

and he's usually right.

I'm not that good.

I just tell people what I see,

but it depends on

how much they want me to see.

Have you seen that woman before?

I have.

I saw her in that room.

But she just disappeared.

I've seen her once before

when Laor came to Jutathep Palace.

When we shook hands,

I felt like I was shaking hands with someone else.

It was someone

who looked similar to Laor.

Not just similar.

She's exactly like Laor.

I saw her once at the palace

when we did the photoshoot.

I thought I was imagining things.

I feel like someone's following me.

Sometimes I see her in my dreams.

Sometimes

she shows herself to me.

I can never catch up to her,

so I've never found out who she is.

But earlier today,

when we were face-to-face,

I saw that she looked a lot like me.

If we can find photos or portraits from Prince Siwilai's palace,

maybe we can find out who she is.

Right.

The palace burned down in the fire.

Most of the portraits of Prince Siwilai's family

were destroyed.

As far as I know,

there are only a couple of them left.

They should be here.

Could it be that an ancestor of Prince Siwilai

want to tell us something?

Does this mean that

what we're looking for

is inside that room?

That would be my guess.

Pardon me, Your Highness.

The King is having a banquet.

He's invited all of you to join him.

Let's take a break.

All right.

Let's go.

Come on.

Laor.

Come in.

This is where we keep all the remaining portraits

from Prince Siwilai's palace.

These portraits are the property of Viengphukhum.

Please be careful with them.

Here.

This is the portrait of King Samai and Queen Sroimalai.

Princess Chaweewan and Prince Kawin.

Princess Sroikhumthong and Prince Chiangmuan.

-My great-grandpa. -That's right.

Prince Siwilai.

The lady next to him

is probably his wife, Princess Fuangphet.

According to our history books,

no one ever saw Princess Fuangphet's face.

Laor.

How is it possible that you look exactly like her?

We're lucky that this portrait

is in such good condition

and wasn't damaged in the fire.

Son.

Do you think this portrait

contains the answer that we're looking for?

I'm still not sure.

But from everything that's happened,

it makes me believe

that it isn't a coincidence

that Laorchan found the portrait

of her great-grandparents.

There must be something more to it.

Do we need to keep looking for Prince Siwilai's journal?

Yes.

I don't think our search will be in vain.

Otherwise,

my great-grandma wouldn't have led me to that room.

Chai Yai.

What are your thoughts on this?

Although this goes against scientific reason,

we should see it through to the end.

All right. Very well.

In that case, we'll start tomorrow.

The sooner we know where the temple is,

the better it will be for us.

The leader of the Thapana Association is…

I don't know.

You idiot.

How can a military commander like you

work for a man who hides in the shadows?

If he told you to die for him,

you would probably do it.

Do you really not get it?

We're all going to die.

Stop, Prince Anucha.

You can't harm the rebels.

The King insists

that we strictly follow this rule.

Can't you see?

Can't you all see it?

These rebels are destroying our country.

If we don't use force,

do you think they will tell us what they know?

If you think your way will work better,

you can interrogate them yourself.

I hope you succeed.

There must be three representatives present,

from the legislature, the executive,

and the judiciary,

in order to conduct an interrogation.

The executive's representative isn't here,

so we can't do anything.

I suppose you're right.

I'll talk to Prince Anucha about this.

Thank you

for protecting the association.

I'll help get you out.

If you don't want to receive severe punishment,

you'd better cooperate with us

before we run out of patience.

Do you understand?

Are you by my side, Sun?

Please help guide me to my great-grandpa's journal.

Be strong, Laor.

I'll be right by your side.

I'll help you as best as I can.

Thank you.

Good night.

All right.

Good night.

The placement of her hand is a bit strange.

What do you mean?

Normally, members of the royal family

or those of royal blood,

would either sit or stand

for their portraits.

They clasp their hands together

or place both hands on their legs.

But look at this.

The placement of Princess Fuangphet's hand

seems a bit strange.

I've never seen a portrait like this.

I see.

I agree with Mr. Poom.

It's like she's telling us something.

Her finger is pointing to the lion's head.

Maybe something's hidden there.

Allow me, Your Highness.

Go ahead.

Thank you.

You can twist the lion's head around.

There must be

some kind of mechanism here.

Can I give it a try?

Sure.

May I, Your Highness?

The latch is open.

I found it.

His monogram isn't on it,

but I'm sure this is his journal.

Here, Your Highness.

It's not a journal.

It looks like it's a list of names.

It's written in our ancient language.

Can you read it, Chai Yai?

"The names of the founders of Thapana Association.

The association secretary,

General Luecha.

Senior advisor,

Prince Siwilai."

That's not true.

That's impossible.

He wasn't one of the rebels.

He wasn't part of the association.

You might be right.

Look.

He didn't sign his name here.

This means that

my great-grandpa

didn't agree to be part of the Thapana Association.

This means he's innocent, right?

Right?

It seems so.

But…

This isn't enough evidence to have the council

revise the history of that period.

But if we find Prince Siwilai's journal

and it can lead us to the temple and the hidden treasure,

we'll be able to prove to everyone

that he's innocent

without a shadow of a doubt.

Therefore,

we need to find that journal.

Yes.

SP

It has a blue velvet cover

with his monogram and his crest.

SP

It's his personal coat of arms.

This is it.

This sketch looks similar to the Ajna Chakra Necklace.

Poom. I need your help.

SP

What are you discussing?

I don't keep any secrets from you.

Where did the gunshot come from?

The forest Mr. Phu and Laor entered.

How dare you disrespect him.

Don't you know who he is?

Freeze! Drop the gun.
