"Nakee"

Tossapol is gone! He vanished!

What? Tossapol's gone?

Tossapol!

If he doesn't love me,

he wouldn't have come all the way for me.

And where's that snake witch now?

These snakes.

Just wait, you'll be on the receiving end someday.

This black magic shouldn't miss it and can't be replicated.

Otherwise, all malevolence will rebound upon you.

Thank you, Kumkaew.

I'll leave my son in your hands.

Here's your poppet, Pim.

I made it out of wax just like that one.

Are you sure it looks like me?

I did my best, okay?

Give it to me.

We'll just attach them together.

Then, tie them up.

Now, let yours be gone.

And finally, you'll have your wish.

Right.

There he is. Say hello.

Pon!

Pim?

Is there something?

If not, I'll go to work now.

Come, let me help you carry it.

Let's go.

Should we try again?

How about making poppets resembling you and Prakit kissing this time?

Useless!

Why Prakit?

You insolent brat!

How could you be so blinded by love?

I will stay of my own volition.

I love Kumkaew.

From now on,

my life will have only Kumkaew.

You'll throw away your future for a woman?

Imbecile!

You won't understand.

You never love anyone but yourself.

Even when mother was dying, you didn't even care!

Tossapol!

Sir?

Someone would like to see you, sir.

Who?

Back to your senses?

Yes.

I was foolish, mad, and arrogant.

Just like you said I was.

Good for you.

It's not too late to come back with me though.

All these times,

I've been trying to stick it to you.

Hurting your feelings, a lot.

Because I thought, you never cared about anyone but yourself.

Maybe it would teach you some empathy.

But now I know I'm wrong.

Without you...

I wouldn't be here.

I'm sorry, dad.

Please forgive me.

You know...

I seriously wanted to get mad at you, just once.

But I just couldn't.

You know why?

Because you're my son.

I'm a father.

Albeit the one you wish you never had.

Albeit the one estranged from his family.

One madly obsessed with his works.

Even the day his wife died.

He didn't even stay by her deathbed.

You know why?

I didn't want to see your mother's face in you.

That's the reason behind our estranged relationship.

You might as well think I'm a stranger.

Well, I won't blame you anymore.

It was indeed my fault after all.

Father, if you're forgiving me...

then don't blame yourself.

It will only burden my thoughts for the rest of my life.

Please, dad.

I have one more favour to ask of you.

What is it again?

About Kumkaew.

Why...

-You see... -Why would I force you now?

Now that you're grown enough to make your choice.

Why would I force you against your will?

Tossapol, boy!

My fellow villagers!

Good people of Donmaipa!

Come and behold, the city folks!

See the man who ravished my daughter!

He who dumped my girl like toilet paper!

Behold! This evil man must be expelled!

Banished from our Donmaipa, immediately!

What's the ruckus?

You still have the nerve to ask?

It's your son!

He was the one who made my daughter miserable!

You had her and you left her out of the blue, why?

I have only one wife, Kumkaew.

Why did you say that?

You said it yourself,

you'll love me and only me alone.

I never loved a woman like you.

Never even thought of it.

Why you...

You irresponsible jerk!

How could you? You violated her!

Now you're speaking so callously!

Did you think you could speak so callously?

This is no longer my son's responsibility.

Take your daughter home, Mr. Gore.

Don't embarrass yourself any further.

-What? -Dad...

Embarrass what?

You and your son should be embarrassed!

You did this to her. You dumped her without remorse!

Fine, then! If I can't have your head today,

I'm not leaving with mine still on my neck either!

Come then.

You know very well what you've done.

I don't think I have to spell it out for you.

What evil deeds you've committed.

Don't even think I'm scared.

You snake devil!

What do you want?

I do not ask for much.

I only ask for Tossapol

to recognise me as another wife.

Still yearning for your husband?

But a man acquired through black magic,

if you can call that a husband,

maybe you already have one in every village!

Pimporn!

Did you bewitch him with a spell?

Did you bewitch him with a love spell?

No, I didn't do it, dad.

I didn't do it!

And what's this?

If Pim and I didn't search your room,

Tossapol would have gone mad from your evil spell.

Your love guru must be pretty good.

Making Pon mistake garbage for gold!

Or maybe a tramp for an angel!

Pimporn! I'll kill you!

Lamjiak!

-Release me. -Let go! Don't say a single word!

Come home with me, now!

I didn't do it. I love Tossapol! Dad!

Go home, immediately! Come!

Dad!

I love Tossapol!

Release me!

Dad! Dad!

Release me!

Why did you slap me?

I'm slapping some sense into you!

Didn't I tell you, over and over again?

To stay away from those sorceries!

You never listen to me!

For one man,

and you put your life on the line for him?

Because I love him!

Love?

Did he love you back?

You offered him your body.

And now you're dumped out in the cold.

You might not be embarrassed but I am!

If not for that Pimporn's meddling,

I would have succeeded!

Succeed my foot!

You're lucky to make it out alive.

Look. Take a look!

Look at your ugly mug!

You face is that of a corpse!

Look closer! Look at it! Look at it!

Look!

Dad!

You're too cruel!

I had enough!

You can't help but challenge the devil herself.

And now you've lost the Pirod ring too.

How are you going to protect yourself now?

Do you even have a shred of my brain?

No, only of your mum!

To the fiery pit with it!

You brought me nothing but trouble!

Pim.

Thank you.

If it weren't for you, it could have been much worse.

I don't know how to thank you enough.

How about your feelings for me?

Can I have them?

Pim.

You know it's impossible.

I can't love anybody else but Kumkaew.

Nothing is certain.

Even love.

Someone like me

will have things my way eventually.

Just wait and see.

As for me...

nothing will change who I am, ever.

Even the truth?

What truth?

You'll know it.

Soon enough.

I helped out to help Pon.

Because I despise that Lamjiak.

Because she dared to steal Pon from me!

You, too! You'll be next!

Pay her no heed.

Pim is a sore loser

when she can't have things her way.

I don't mind her words.

Then...

What's on your mind?

Can you tell me?

We're married now, Kumkaew.

We shouldn't keep secrets from each other.

Tossapol, do you still believe in me?

So, that's what you're worried about.

Aren't you curious even a bit?

About the truth Pimporn said.

Wonder what it could be?

Why would I question you?

I know the truth well enough anyway.

Doesn't matter what anyone says,

I won't believe their slanders.

I'll never question you even once.

We got through so much hardship.

Even though it wasn't easy.

And now,

my father already approved of us.

Are we going to give up

because of mere words from hostile people?

Nothing is certain.

Even love.

Someone like me

will have things my way eventually.

Pimporn...

Your appearance,

your gestures...

are too familiar.

If I was a Naga,

what about Pimporn?

Leave, all of you.

Princess Pimpawadee?

When tomorrow comes,

you will join hands with my sister Karnjiek in a ceremony.

Between your heart and your kingdom...

what would you choose?

You shouldn't have asked.

We all think of ourselves first.

Should I not join the ceremony,

calamity will befall Patta Nakhorn.

If you can't find a way to save yourself...

you think you can save your kingdom?

You knew it.

My father is a warmonger.

He desires to assert his dominance across the land.

Are you sure, that once you've become Karnjiek's spouse,

that your kingdom will be spared?

So long as I remain a prisoner...

I am of little use to anyone.

Even to my comrades.

And what if I help you all escape?

How shall you repay my charity?

Halt! Where are you going?

This is the royal procession of Princess Pimpawadee.

Get out of our way.

Today is the day of marriage at the royal palace.

Where are you going, princess?

The astrologer demanded that the princess take these offerings to tribute

to the Naga Lord Sri Suttho at Dhevalai.

Before the ceremony begins.

Halt. Drop those here.

I need a rest.

You must be tired.

Have a rest and drink.

Here you go.

Make sure you pass it around.

We should get moving.

Patta Nakhorn shall fall!

It shall pay twice for its general's transgression!

The humiliation he brought upon me, the king of Marukkanakorn,

I will not suffer it!

-Royal councillor! -Yes, my liege.

Gather our soldiers!

Lay waste to Patta Nakhorn and obliterate their armies!

By your will, Your Majesty!

I was a fool.

To care for you as if we were siblings of the same mother.

But you've taken away my heart.

Your Highness!

What are you doing, Your Highness?

Come not a step closer!

If subsequent life truly exists...

I declare my feud against you, forever!

In every life!

-Don't do this, Your Highness! -Princess! Don't!

Princess!

Princess!

Princess!

In our previous lives,

everyone was involved with each other.

That's why everyone is so vengeful to each other in this life.

You,

you were General Chaiyasingha.

The reason why I, Pimporn and Lamjiak,

had to suffer a fateful struggle together.

Lord Buddha.

In this life,

I hope we all don't repeat the same mistake.

Creepy.

-Hold there, Shaman. -What?

You said you were going to forge an enchanted sword.

How come we ended up at the graveyard?

Bah!

To forge a sacred sword like the text said,

requires not only the metal amulet,

but of those who died in childbirth as part of the forging, too!

I have nails too, if you want.

It's not the same!

And why didn't you say so?

So, I could just wait at home.

Look, if you chicken out, you might as well turn back and go home.

-Come. -Come on, Mr. Boonsong.

Someone like me fears nothing.

I was just asking. But would be nice if done fast.

Shut up already!

Let's go!

Who's that?

Hey.

You aren't Kong the undertaker.

Who might you be?

Where did you come from?

What is your purpose here?

Are you deaf?

I demand answers from you.

To meditate in a graveyard like this,

he must be a sorcerer.

Sorcerer, you say?

Might as well be a fraud.

I'll try him.

If he's the real deal.

What are you doing, Headman?

Get me a tree branch!

Bring me a knife!

Knife?

Are you serious?

Holy Buddha!

He's invincible.

That's enough, Headman.

He's the real deal.

Iron skin?

Fine!

Let us see your magic artefacts!

I don't want to bully a geezer.

You aren't a worthy opponent.

Braggart!

Who's a geezer?

You want to try me?

Hold it, Shaman Auam.

You'll only exhaust yourself.

-Calm down. -Save your strength for the forging.

Who are you?

What are you doing in Donmaipa?

I am Mueang-In of Nakh Nhee.

I am here to defeat Goddess Nakee.

You're here to defeat Nakee?

You came from Nakh Nhee?

Must be the guy who did the love spell for Lamjiak.

I should have been the one to smack him.

Witchdoctor?

Love guru?

Someone like you?

You're the one going to defeat Nakee?

Get lost.

If you still value your life.

Get lost!

For one to be well-versed in sorcery,

depends solely on one's skills.

Not because one is older.

I've seen many of your kind.

Arrogant and loud-mouth old farts.

But far more impotent and feebler than a suckling pig!

Fine!

Seems like you're so full of yourself

that you can defeat that snake demon.

I'll kneel before you if you win.

But if you lose,

you will renounce sorcery, forever!

Deal.

I'll be watching you.

Braggart!

Come, let's get to work!

Let's go.

What's wrong, Kumkaew?

Tonight, I feel somewhat feverish?

Like hot and cold at the same time.

Can it be winter fever?

I'll brew you some medicine, so, you'll get better.

You don't have to.

Just a good night's sleep and I'll be fine.

Then you should rest.

Let's go to bed.

What's wrong?

Nothing, I must have been seeing things.

Go back to sleep.

What did you just say?

I didn't expect at all that they'd be so relentless.

They just won't quit.

Kumkaew?

My ivy gourds sprouted their leaves.

I picked them, so, you can cook some soup to eat with your husband.

Mum.

I don't know what's going on lately.

I feel as if I'm not myself.

As if I'm turning into someone else.

Whenever I was angered,

I couldn't control myself.

What should I do?

Then, you must be strong.

Hold onto dharma.

Uphold the five noble tenets.

Pray regularly.

Those morally upright will have prosperity and happiness.

Let the spirits and the Buddha preserve you.

Tassanai is gone.

What did you just say?

Tassanai...

he won't come back.

It is futile for all of you to search for him any further.

What you should do however,

is to inherit and finish whatever he sought to accomplish.

So, he'll finally be at peace.

What's this?

An idol's fragment that professor entrusted me.

This is no mere rock.

But it looks like one.

I've never seen such material before.

Where did you get it?

Back when me and professor tried to move the idol

out from the cave under the Dhevalai.

But we accidentally dropped it, so, that crest chipped out.

And where's the idol?

It's in the riverbed now.

That's all we have left.

When Auam is done forging the enchanted sword.

That she-snake won't have long to live.

And what if it doesn't work?

What is it, Headman?

You were at Phu Pranang.

You saw Auam summon the metal amulet to feast on honey with your own eyes.

You still don't believe in it?

I know he has the skill.

But we can't afford to underestimate him.

Don't worry.

We have two sorcerers on our side.

Shaman Auam and Sorcerer Mueang-In.

One of them will defeat that snake devil eventually.

(Chanting mantra)

(Chanting mantra)

So, that's the metal amulet sword?

The so-called sacred sword?

Is that it?

See now?

Have you seen the power of my enchanted sword?

Holy hell, it can part even the clouds in the sky!

Metal amulet sword!

They've forged a weapon to kill the goddess.

She's in danger.

We should take them out now.

Do you have a way?

Watcharaprakan!

The trip to Phu Pranang was worth it!

Even if we barely managed to get out of there!

Astounding! I was blown away!

It can even part the cloud!

That snake demon won't be able to resist it!

That snake demon will be powerful

though on the day of the solar eclipse.

But it will be weaker when the lunar eclipse occurs!

Wait for a new moon,

and my enchanted sword will slay that snake demon!

Good!

What is it?

The sword moves.

It's a bad omen!

What the... Snake!

That must be her minion!

Want a piece? Come at me!

It doesn't matter how many of you!

I'm not scared of you anymore!

That vile shaman!

What are you doing, Chutsuda?

I'll teach them a lesson, of course.

They hurt you so badly.

I won't spare them anymore.

But that sword is beyond deadly.

You'll only risk your life like this.

I'm not afraid.

The longer we let them have it, the more arrogant they'll become.

If you attack now, our plan will be ruined.

The one hatched by Watcharaprakan.

What exactly is your plan?

Greed and selfishness,

has long been humanity's greatest undoing.

Where exactly is my sword?

What in the world?

The sword is gone?

How can it just vanish into thin air?

Besides the four of us, nobody could set foot into my place.

The culprit must be among us.

One of us four!

What are you talking about?

Curse you!

We've been together for some time.

Since when did any of us steal it?

Here's my idea, it's Shaman Auam!

-He hid the sword somewhere! -Gore, you!

And then you pretended to get worked up over your lost sword.

You're spouting nonsense!

It's one likely scenario!

Come on now. We've risked our necks together.

Let's not target each other's throat.

Who's the traitor?

Which one of you?

Or maybe...

Where did you take my sword to?

What sword?

My enchanted metal sword, of course!

Your enchanted sword?

It's in your possession, of course.

Why would I take it?

You!

You can't find a way to defeat Nakee.

That's why you took my sword!

I have my pride as a sorcerer.

I steal from nobody.

If not you, then who is the thief?

You're old enough to fit in a coffin now.

Can't you take care of your own stuff?

Do I need to teach you how to find out?

Run along.

The sword is here.

Now, I feel safe.

What are you doing, dad?

Nope. Nothing, nothing.

That's the shaman's sword.

Did you steal it?

Of course, I did!

Now, seal your mouth and keep quiet.

If Auam heard that, he's coming to kill me for sure.

Why did you steal from him?

If he knows, he's going to be so mad.

I have no choice.

You already lost your Pirod ring.

And how are we going to defend ourselves?

You don't have to worry about Auam.

He's a man of tricks. He won't die.

You and me, we can die.

Stealing from him counts as a sin, too.

It's not stealing.

It's sharing a treasure among us.

You risked your life, so, they can witness the potency of the sword.

To arouse their inner greed.

Precisely.

They'll turn on each other.

All thanks to their greed.

It won't be long until the solar eclipse.

The goddess' wish to become a human is imminent.

So long that enchanted sword is whole,

we can ill afford to rest easy.

That enchanted sword truly is formidable.

How are we supposed to protect our goddess?

Worry not, Chutsuda.

My life, I dedicated to her.

I will die to protect her.

Dad?

What's wrong?

I felt numb. As if I was electrocuted.

Electrocuted?

I think...

this fragment,

it's like has electrostatics in itself.

Think of an animal like an electric eel? Or electric ray.

Professor Tassanai said the same thing, too.

But how could that be?

That idol isn't a living being.

It's just a stone idol.

What if I tell you,

that this fragment is a fragment of a living being?

Not a stone.

Will you believe me?

What do you mean, dad?

I found a layer of cells.

Human cells even.

The matter of this fragment is not stone.

But of petrified human tissue.

Similar to mummies.

Impossible.

I found this fragment on an idol of a half-human

on top and half-snake on the bottom.

You don't think such a thing could actually exist, do you?

Half-human, half-snake?

Can it be a Naga?

But Nagas are just mythical creatures.

You believe in such a thing?

What's that?

Alumpine spell.

Alumpine spell?

It is the spell to quell the Nagas.

I found it along with a skeleton.

Tassanai's skeleton.

Marukkanakorn worshipped Nagas since ancient times.

Why did they have this Naga quelling spell?

I think this evidence somewhat contradicted each other.

That's it.

That's the question that I want answers.

This tablet inscription has letters on both the front and back.

They really fit together.

Perfect fit, man.

Did you find any other information about it?

Well, just like most tablet inscriptions...

it mentioned and praised King Niruttarat.

He conquered cities far and wide as a display of his might.

That includes Patta Nakhorn, too.

Patta Nakhorn was conquered, too?

Utterly crushed no less.

King Pattaraja of Patta Nakhorn,

fought valiantly and died fighting on the battlefield.

What about General Chaiyasingha?

Why would you want to know?

It's nothing.

I can see it clearly, Prakit.

-The texts? -Nope, your ringworm.

What in the world, Tossapol?

This is not the time to play.

Everyone, let's eat.

-The food is here. -That's right.

We have fermented fish spicy dip and bamboo shoot soup.

Kumkaew?

If you can't carry those, you should have called me.

I'm so clumsy.

I'll prepare a new one.

What? You all done staring?

Help her clean up.

Yes, doctor.

It's already spilt on the floor.

I think Kumkaew has been acting strange.

What say you guys?

Strange how?

She's like usual.

Not like she's bad with household chores.

Seriously. You two never saw it.

When she stared at a snake.

I saw it. It's like they could communicate.

In my opinion, she's a hundred per cent a snake.

You idiot! Just staring at a snake?

Maybe she's trying to chase it away.

And you thought she could talk to a snake.

-You maniac! -Yes.

I just mentioned what I saw.

There are rumours everywhere that she's a snake.

Are you guys deaf or what?

Right.

Listeners never hear any good of themselves.

If you listen, chances are that you will hear everything terrible.

Only fools like you would believe such slanders from the wicked.

Right, we simply call a person like that "gullible"!

Then I'm going to decisively prove it.

Whether she's really a snake or not.

How are you going to prove it though?

Abbot, do you know when will a snake shapeshift into a human

and when will they revert back to a snake form?

I've never heard anything about snakes.

Only Nagas.

-Yeah, that works, too. -That works, too.

Nagas and snakes are the same species anyway.

Same species...

According to the Story of the Buddha,

it is said that a Naga will revert to its true form in five situations.

When they're born, dead, hunting, mating and sleeping.

That's why the Buddha made the rule,

to forbid Nagas from ordaining in Buddhism.

Hey, Na.

Your face just now. Are you planning something?

Well, if she's really a snake,

then she'll revert back to being a snake when she's sleeping.

Right?

Do you want to continue your study in Bangkok?

Education is not necessarily acquired from a university.

Some things aren't taught in a textbook.

We must learn it from real life.

But if you managed to graduate,

you'll have a good job.

Earn good money.

You won't have to endure farming.

Nor looking after animals like you do these days.

I can't resist but think...

If we've never known each other,

maybe you'll have a brighter future.

My future? I had already chosen it.

I just want you by my side.

It doesn't matter what the future holds

and how many hardships we have to brave.

I'll face them all.

I have no regret at all about our marriage.

Why are you taking me here?

It's late now. Pon and Kumkaew would be sleeping by now.

I brought you two, so, you'll finally see the truth.

What are you guys doing?

What?

Didn't you tell me yourself?

If Kumkaew really is a snake,

then she will revert to her snake form while sleeping.

Right, abbot?

True.

Kit, come with me.

What? No.

Ask Mart.

You want to get soaked again or what?

You must go.

Chade, you then.

Come!

You need scientific proof, Mart?

Take a look.

Kit, come with me.

That's it.

Dear God.

I told you guys... What?

Where are you going?

Chade? Guys?

What a friend you are!

Dear good God.

My legs...

Wait for me!

Hey! Hey!

Hey...

You jerk!

Did you see it now?

Kumkaew really is a snake as people said.

Did you see now?

Do you believe me now?

Do you need any more proof?

Now that you've seen it yourself.

Who's the smart guy now, Mart?

Okay...

I concede, man.

So, what now, guys?

Should we just tell Pon?

We have to tell him.

Man and snake can't live together.

-No way, man. -It's impossible.

Khmer tales tell of a romance between a man and a snake though.

It's possible though that those two are soulmates from their past lives.

Come on, Chade!

Even if they're soulmates,

a snake is still a snake, man!

Can we really trust its instinct?

-What if someday, -Yes, can't trust.

she suddenly devours Tossapol?

What then? You're going to take the risk?

Come on!

-Believe us. -When that day comes.

I don't think love can save him.

You got a point there.

And if we tell him,

will he listen to us?

You know it. He loves Kumkaew so much.

Honestly, I don't want him to live with a snake.

We need to tell him.

But whether he believes it or not,

is up to him to decide.

What's up?

What's up, guys? What wind carries you guys here?

We need to tell you about...

About what?

About your wife.

My wife?

Yes.

What about her?

-What? -Kumkaew is actually...

-What? -Spit it out.

-What's the hold up? -What's the deal, Na?

Fine, I'll just say it.

-Just say it. -Look.

-Your wife is... -Is what?

Good morning.

What am I, Mr. Wanchana?

What is she? Tell her!

What was it again?

What did you want to say just now?

Right, your wife is a beautiful lady!

A beautiful lady worthy of a wonderful man.

-Right? -That's right.

You two are perfect for each other!

What about me? I'm good-looking too, am I not?

You can't compare yourself with Pon.

Yes.

You'll probably have a pretty wife someday.

Kumkaew, what's that?

Should we help with cooking?

You help her, Kit.

Help her!

Not again...

Get it together, man.

Let me help.

Why should it be me?

Come here.

I put it over there.

I did well?

That's all! That's all!

We'll be on our way now.

We just want to say...

-Good bye! -Good bye!

We're going now.

What's with you guys?

This way!

Come on!

What's with them today?

What are they trying to tell?

Maybe they have something to say.

About what?

The usual, of course.

Where are you going, Kit?

You said you're going to tell the truth?

If I say it out loud,

what if she suddenly bites me right on the spot?

Watch what you're going to say next time.

And you guys are going to let him live like this?

Yeah! What can we do?

Maybe someday he'll see the truth.

If he doesn't end up devoured first.

-Come on! -Hey, Na!

You're always such a pessimist! Always the mouthy one.

But when push comes to shove, you keep beating around the bush

and shift it all to me! Bah!

It's my fault? You guys could have said it, too!

You said you're going to tell him.

Headman,

Boonsong and Gore.

One of you must have stolen my sword.

What are you talking about?

Curse you!

We've been together for some time.

Since when did any of us steal it?

It was Shaman Auam! He hid the sword somewhere!

Gore, you!

We risked our necks together.

Let's not target each other's throats.

Gore!

It must be you!

You're the traitor.

Curse you, weasel.

That filthy crook.

I'll unmask him.

Gore.

Just wait.

Auam, what has gotten into you so suddenly?

Nothing, really.

I just wanted to have a casual conversation.

Do you have any leads?

About the missing sword of yours?

Come on, it can't be anyone else.

It must be that Mueang-In guy.

He probably doesn't want to see the shaman succeed at slaying the goddess.

I asked him.

He said he didn't do it.

Bah, no thieves would just...

easily admit to it.

Just wait. It's a sacred sword.

Whoever took it.

They're going to end up badly. Just wait and see.

You took my sword, didn't you?

No!

That's a crazy accusation.

I don't know anything.

I'm not lying.

What is wrong with you, Gore?

You're spouting nonsense.

Why did he suddenly act like he's been possessed, shaman?

I made a curse.

Whoever took my sword...

will lose their sanity and go mad!

Now, Gore, I'm asking you again.

Are you the one who took my sword?

I give...

Gore, you!

You traitor!

-Die! -Don't, Headman!

Spare him.

For our old time's sake.

I ask for his life.

Where did you hide the sword? Tell me.

And you can have the cure.

My house.

You sly dog!

I put an angel's trumpet flower in the liquor.

It took effect and made him convulsed like mad.

But it'll be just temporary.

It's you.

What is it?

What did you say?

You want me to steal something?

Mother, this is too serious.

I can't trust anyone but you.

I need you, mother.

Kumkaew, you know it's immoral.

It's sinful.

I must have it before the new moon arrives.

If I can touch the sword,

I would have done it myself.

What's so important about that sword?

Why do you need it so badly?

Shaman Auam is going to kill me with it.

Where is that sword?

Aunt Kampong.

What are you doing? Seeing someone?

I'm here to see Gore.

See dad? He went to drink at Auam's house.

Go there if you want to see him.

All right.

Wait. What's that?

Nothing.

That's dad's enchanted sword! Give it back!

-No! -Aunt Kampong, give it back!

-I won't give! -Give it back!

You can't have it!

Aunt Kampong! Give it back!

Kampong!

What are you doing here?

She's stealing your sword!

-Give it to me. -You!

My sword!

Let me go!

Aren't you also the sly one, Kampong?

I should have cut off your hands!

She must have done that to save her girl.

How far do you have to go for your vengeance, Headman?

That witch killed Lueang, my son!

How many more have to die?

Your girl is a demon.

She'll bring ruin to us all.

Yet, you're still sheltering it?

Kumkaew is still my daughter!

I understand you. I'm a parent myself.

But your daughter died 19 years ago.

That abomination is Nakee who is using her body!

You should deal with it.

I will not stand idly by and watch her die!

What a waste of breath!

Tie her up here.

Once we've killed Kumkaew, then I'll release you!

No!

Kumkaew...

Let go of me!

Let me go!

Poor aunt Kampong.

Parents love their children.

Even a snake? I don't see why she'd keep it.

It's a savage creature.

Let go!

Let me go!

Once Kumkaew is killed, Tossapol will be a widower.

Then it will be your chance, Pim.

I want to witness her death.

I can hardly wait for it.

Pimporn?

What's the rush?

Finding your mum?

I'm here to deliver the news.

Your mum got caught stealing at Gore's.

What did she steal again?

Seems like important stuff.

Where is she?

At Headman Yam's house.

But don't worry.

She's being held for questioning.

Not to be executed.

But don't be so sure.

Just a word.

Hopefully, the headman will be merciful

and not use vigilante justice.

-Mum! -No!

Kumkaew!

Run, Kumkaew.

-Hurry up and run away. -What's wrong with you?

Hurry and get away from here!

-I need to save you. -Run away.

Please, don't.

Don't hurt my daughter.

I want to save you.

I knew it.

That you'd show up.

You devil!

Let my mother go.

Let her go.

She has nothing to do with this.

We'll let her go.

But after my sacred sword lop off your head

and feast on your blood!

Please, don't.

I tried to keep it to myself.

Yet you won't stop harassing me!

Even if I am half-snake,

but in my heart,

I'm twice a human as compared to you beasts wearing human skins!

Many good people of Donmaipa died because of you!

It's about time you pay for your treachery!

I meant to wait for a new moon day to slay you.

But since you've saved us the trouble,

I'll gladly take up this opportunity!

Consider this an act of mercy!

I'll give you time to say goodbye to your mama, witch.

Don't do this.

Please, headman.

Shaman, I beg of you.

Whether she's a human or not,

she's still my baby.

I still love her.

Let her go.

If anyone has to die, I will.

Kill me. Kill me, please.

-Mother! -Kill me.

Don't beg for mercy from these animals.

My dear, don't!

They want nothing less than my life.

-Then fine, take it! -No!

-I give up! -No!

Quit dawdling, shaman!

Off with her head!

No, Boonsong, don't kill her.

-Kumkaew, don't. -Mum.

Die!

-Mum. -My dear, don't!

You!

Kumkaew!

You should meet your end in the fiery pit!

Kumkaew!

-After her! Catch her! -Don't kill her!

Save yourself!

My dear Kumkaew.

Is she dead?

I think so.

Let's dump her off the cliff.

Where's Kumkaew?

Where has she gone?

Mother? Is Kumkaew here?

Why are you crying?

She's gone.

Kumkaew's gone.

Where has she gone to?

Did she come here?

Kumkaew!

Kumkaew!

No.

She's forever gone.

You hear me?

She'll never come back!

Hey, guys. Have you seen Kumkaew?

We've tried looking everywhere. Even the market, too.

Kumkaew,

she didn't even tell me where she'd go.

Stop looking for her.

Why?

She disappeared, man.

Aren't you even concerned?

Maybe she has gone to a better place now.

Attha Jaywa Talittata Jasuppay Majjuparayana,

To rich and poor alike,

death always lies ahead of them.

What exactly is wrong with you guys?

Explain yourself, Kit, Abbot!

Pon.

You don't want to hear this.

You see...

She is...

-Kumkaew... -Kumkaew is dead.

Na!

If I don't think of you as my friend,

I'd have punched your guts out!

-Pon! -Pon!

-Let him go, Pon! -Pon!

Pon!

Calm down!

Kumkaew really just died.

Everyone knows it by now.

If you don't believe it, feel free to ask anyone.

Have I ever lied to you?

Who killed her?

Hey!

I'm asking who murdered her!

Kit! Tell me who!

I don't know.

Abbot! You never lie, do you? Tell me!

I'm asking who the murderer is!

I saw some men dump her body off the cliff.

Her body must have been shattered to pieces by now.

Let her carrion be picked off by worms and crows.

And so, it ends.

Finally, I've defeated that devil snake.

Now, our good citizens will finally rest easy.

And no longer fear who will end up as her next meal.

Now that I have my revenge.

My son, Lueang can finally rest in peace.

Still, what a shame!

She should have taken the form of a giant snake.

I'll skin her and make shoes out of her hide!

Make her pay dearly for crippling my leg!

By now,

Kumkaew must be answering for her crime in the nether.

You cursed headman!

Cursed?

You murderer!

You killed my wife!

Curse you!

Everyone here already knew!

That your wife is the snake devil herself!

You're the only one blind to the truth!

It's not true! You tried to smear her!

Tell me!

Why do you savages have to be so cruel?

Do you even have a trickle of humanity?

Tossapol!

Listen to me, brat.

You are madly blinded by love for that monster.

It's way better for everyone that she died!

You'll finally be free from her insidious charm, too.

Uncle Boonsong!

I never thought that you'd be in cahoots with these barbarians!

Why you insolent brat!

You vile monster! You jerk!

I'm going to make you bleed.

And cleanse that witch's curse.

Maybe it'll help you think!

Stop it, everyone! Stop!

I'm ordering you all to stop!

Please, headman!

Pim!

Pon, Pon.

Let me help.

Pon, return to Bangkok with me.

I'm not going anywhere.

This is my home.

Kumkaew might still be alive.

That witch is already dead!

I saw it myself.

That moment shaman slashed her with his enchanted sword.

You're lying.

If she's dead,

then where's her body?

When will you just accept the truth?

That witch is a snake!

Your fantasy is impossible to fathom!

Humans can't love a snake, Pon!

Stop with your malicious slander!

I had enough of it!

If you want to go back to Bangkok so much, just go ahead and leave me alone!

Doesn't matter if she's a snake or what, I'll still love her.

Don't forget that!

Hey, man. Accept it already.

Even if she's alive,

the romance between you two is still impossible.

And why is it impossible?

Because she's a snake.

We saw it ourselves.

Wanchana!

No, Pon! Stop!

I didn't expect that you'd be insane like them!

Hey!

I know it's hard to believe it.

But Wanchana only said that out of concern.

Save your nonsensical concern, traitors!

You're all in cahoots with Pim!

We're not in cahoots with anyone.

-Your wife is really a snake. -Abbot!

Now you're lying, too?

Believe me, you brat!

She's a snake!

Shut up, Na.

If you're not my friend,

I'm going to make you eat one another.

I warned you.

It's up to you to decide.

You want to be oblivious? Be my guest!

Everyone knew the truth!

Everyone but you!

Traitor!

-Calm the heck down, Na! -What the heck is wrong with you guys?

We're all friends! What's the use of fighting each other?

-Settle down, seriously! -Curse you!

I'll say it once and for all!

You want to live in your fantasy? Good for you!

Seriously!

Na!

Dad?

You should come to terms with it, son.

At least, Kumkaew is in a better place now.

Is this a nightmare, dad?

Why won't it end?

Are you going to be immature again?

How can she rest in peace seeing you like this?

How could they be so barbaric?

They killed her without a second thought.

She never did anything to them.

Why are they so bent on revenge to the point of taking her life?

No living being on this planet is as savage as human beings, son.

We always find reasons to murder each other.

We painted each other as a monster.

They aren't even afraid of sins or karma.

Superstition...

It has always been the cause of their insanity.

It justified their desire to harm others.

Just to preserve their beliefs.

That's the way this cruel world works.

Be strong, Tossapol.

This too, shall pass.

Kumkaew!

What now?

Nothing.

I'm just telling you.

That snake witch,

the goddess' minion snake,

was slain by yours truly.

Proof? Might I ask?

I did slay her.

If you won't buy it, ask the headman.

Enlighten me then, how did you slay her?

I raised my metal amulet sword and slashed across her, of course!

Idiot.

You pretentious imbecile.

What is your problem?

To kill that snake,

you'll have to wait until she reverts to snake form.

Otherwise, she'll just escape with her soul

and possess another body.

Take that as a tip.

What did you kill?

A corporeal body of a woman named Kumkaew.

As for the snake demon,

she'd have moved to another body now.

Every single one of you are nothing but half-witted morons!

All right, one-two... Do it!

She's reverting to her natural form.

That metal amulet sword is more powerful than I expected.

I'm afraid she can't endure such a grave wound.

I've given her medicines of all kinds, but to no avail.

Only delaying the inevitable.

Only our great Lord can save her.

But our Lord is meditating in isolation at the Great Twilight City Realm.

None may disturb him without his permission.

I volunteer to request for his clemency for our goddess.

But the Great Twilight City Realm is the place of rumination

where Nagas meditate in isolation.

We mere lowly Naga servants are not to trespass.

Should our Lord be enraged, you will be severely punished.

There is no alternative.

I want to go home.

Ever since we arrived in Donmaipa,

we've lost uncle Chom,

Ratthanawadee, Professor Tassanai

and then so many unexpected things happened.

I want to go home too, man.

I...

I'm afraid of everything.

I can't take it anymore.

If I didn't see it with my own eyes,

I wouldn't believe that Kumkaew really is a snake.

But then I witnessed it myself.

When I was a kid,

I heard the story of a Naga trying to pass off as a human...

to ordain as a monk.

But it's really my first time,

you know, to see a snake posing as a human to live with a man.

Most importantly, with our friend Pon even.

Now that it's proven beyond any doubt,

that Kumkaew is a bazillion per cent a snake.

Then let's pack and go home, guys.

Wait, Kit!

What about Pon?

You're leaving him here?

He's our friend, man.

We tried our best to convince him.

But he just wouldn't believe it. That his girl is a snake.

What can we even do?

If he wanted to wait for his snake wife,

he can just stay here.

I wonder what Pon is doing right now.

Maybe it's better to leave him for a while.

Now that Kumkaew is gone.

He'll eventually give up.

Pimporn?

Go and pack your stuff.

Tomorrow morning, the headman will drop us off at the bus depot.

Finally, we're going home!

I miss mummy and daddy so much.

Can I take Tossapol back with me?

You still won't give up on him?

I love him, dad.

I've been loving him for so long.

I don't mind whoever you're interested in.

But...

don't love anyone more than yourself.

I know, dad.

Return to Bangkok with me, Pon.

Forget everything that happened here.

Let's start over together.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying here. I'll wait for Kumkaew.

Can't you just admit it?

That she's really a snake?

She's accused of being a snake.

And it got her killed!

Is that what you want, Pim?

Even if you're angry with me or hate me.

But the truth is the truth.

That witch is already dead.

But I'm still here.

When will you notice me?

And the love that I have for you?

What are you doing?

To make you forget about that woman.

I love you, Pon.

I don't love you, Pim.

You're a friend to me.

Just another friend.

Pon!

You fool! Idiot! Stupid! Dumb! Dense!

I made a fool of myself!

I went that far!

And he's still asking for that tramp!

Don't tell me you offer yourself to him at his place?

I did. So what?

I can't believe you!

I want him to forget that snake faster!

Look, it's still too soon!

I told you to let him come to terms with it!

What can I do?

How do I make him forget her?

Just go home and he'll forget her soon.

Men forget easily.

He might forget her name someday even.

Trust me.

I helped you escape from Marukkanakorn.

How will you repay my kindness?

When I reach Patta Nakhorn,

whatever you wish, Your Highness,

I shall bring it to you.

Riches and treasures are abundant to me.

I wish for none of such.

Then what do you require, princess?

Well, I desire you.

You are the daughter of King Niruttarat.

Worthy of you, I am not.

If you agree to be mine,

then I shall try to convince the outlying unruly kingdoms to our cause

and rally them to your defence of Patta Nakhorn.

Why are you hesitating?

Patta Nakhorn's men are few.

Without the assistance of other kingdoms,

your city is as good as ruined.

Our princess may help turn the tide.

I already have my loved one.

For a man to have more than one woman is not something disgraceful.

Why would you hesitate?

I made an oath to her

that I will remain faithful to her.

This life,

I dedicate to her and her alone.

I helped you escape.

You dare reject my charity?

Your charity to me will not be forgotten.

But as a warrior and a man,

spare me from breaking the oath in the name of gratitude.

General!

A terrible crisis has befallen.

What is it, Marut?

Your Majesty!

This is the end.

This is the end of Patta Nakhorn.

I shall help you flee from our enemies.

I shall not flee anywhere!

I'd rather fall with my subjects here!

I am a king.

I must uphold my kingdom.

If I fail to uphold such a burden,

then where in the world could I be?

I shall die with my kingdom!

Take His Majesty to a safe place, immediately!

I refuse! I refuse to flee!

No!

My comrades, to arms and safeguard His Majesty's escape route, come!

If death is what you desire,

then I shall generously grant it to you.

But the crown of Pattaraja shall be mine.

You are treacherous.

Even more so than the beasts from the deepest fiery pit!

General Chaiyasingha.

Didn't expect, do you?

That our army could have marched through the Mekong River so swiftly.

By the time your army is ready,

Patta Nakhorn has already been long crushed and annihilated!

You filthy animals!

So long as I draw breath,

I swear I shall avenge our kingdom with your blood!

Insolent!

Your head is rolling soon,

yet still you defy us!

Father!

Have mercy.

An army without a general,

a warrior without a cause,

is as good as a dog without a head!

A king who ran away for his life?

That kind of king?

Is he truly worth sacrificing for?

Correct!

I'm pretty sure that Kamkaew is a snake.

I made a decision already.

I will be by your side.

The scent of the snake is very strong.

Today, I will end the life of a demonic serpent to honour my enchanted sword.
