"Nakee"

Did you bewitch him with a love spell?

Just a single man,

you'd put your life on the line for him?

To kill that snake,

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

By the time your army is ready,

Patta Nakhorn has already been long crushed and annihilated!

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?

That's right!

A warrior should not serve a coward.

And a general who ordered his men to march to death recklessly,

is he truly worthy of being called a hero?

Go!

If I have to die,

then I'd rather die with my men!

Your Majesty.

You really wanted to die so badly?

Very well.

Your Majesty!

I had an absurd dream because I thought about Pim?

Pim, Boonsong,

dad, Headman Yam.

Even Jerd and Rat.

Why did everyone keep appearing in my dream?

Dear Kane,

I'm so sorry.

I couldn't protect our baby.

Mother.

I'm returning to Bangkok tomorrow with everyone.

Please come and live with me.

You should go, Pon.

I'll stay here.

But if you stay,

the headman and his men will never stop harassing you.

And those gullible villagers who believed Kumkaew was not a human.

If he's harassing me again,

then they're lower than humans.

As for the villagers,

let them spout whatever nonsense they want.

Tossapol.

If you want to do something for Kumkaew,

then go back and live your normal life.

I was born here.

And I will die here.

Don't worry about me.

Young master, I made you some porridge.

Please eat to gain some energy.

Is Kumkaew back, Auntie Im?

Why did everyone I love leave me?

Mum, Kumkaew...

I have nobody left, auntie.

Young master, you still have me and good sir.

We have always been caring for you.

Even your friends, young master.

Kumkaew and I never harassed anyone.

Why did everyone have to get in our way?

Please don't fret.

Say, maybe your destiny wasn't meant to be. Maybe.

He's there.

Hey. How do you feel?

Are you okay?

If you're here to take me back to Bangkok,

I've made up my mind.

I'll stay with Kumkaew here.

"Suppay thamma nalung Apiniwesaya",

one should refrain from attachment to all things.

It's about time for you to move on, Pon.

You're going to abandon your future here?

Think it over, Pon.

Kumkaew, your wife, is already gone.

But I can feel she's still with me.

She's still by my side.

Her ghost?

Forget about her and return to Bangkok with us.

Please, Pon? Trust me.

I really can't forget her.

If you want to go, then go.

If you see me as your friend,

then leave me with my wife.

When he said he felt her,

it gave me the creeps, man.

She was a snake when she was alive.

Then, she turned into a ghost after she died.

Give him time. I guess he's still in denial.

Come on, the car is leaving.

Wait a minute!

Are you seriously going to leave him here?

Hey! Where are you going?

I'm going to see Tossapol.

-He has lost his mind. -Wanchana!

-Wanchana! -Wanchana!

Pim! Pim!

Hey Pim! Pim!

If Pon is not leaving, then neither am I.

Why, Pim?

I will stay here with him.

Even without Kumkaew, there's still Lamjiak!

That woman is devious.

She put a hex on him once.

I don't trust her.

Don't do this, Pimporn!

Are you stupid, Pim?

Throwing everything away for one man!

Father, I told you I love him.

I can't live without him!

And all these times, has he ever loved you back?

Has he ever paid you any attention?

Think about it!

Of course, he never loved you back.

If he wants to rot here, let him!

-But you're coming with me. -I refuse!

I'm staying with him.

If you want to go, then go alone!

-Pimporn! -Pim!

Pim!

Gosh, Pimporn!

Kids these days are so unruly!

Hey, Wanchana!

Na, don't do it, man!

Calm down.

Let's go...

Tossapol.

Why did you come back?

I came to tell you.

I'm sure Kumkaew is a snake.

And I'm sure too, that you're still my friend.

I can't just leave you here.

I've made my decision, too.

I'll stay here with you.

Well, stay it is then.

Aren't you guys going home?

I miss home, man. But I worry about you more.

We've been friends for so long.

We can't abandon you, man.

Hey! Friends in need are friends indeed!

Right...

Thanks, guys. For staying with me.

-Okay. -Okay.

Hey, Pon.

But still, we insist the same about Kumkaew, by the way.

-Please understand. -Right.

No more punching my mouth, okay?

I'll punch you back if there's another.

No punching mouth? I'm punching your gut then!

Even if you want to go back to Bangkok,

I still won't permit you anyway.

Why is that so, doctor?

You still have an obligation to fulfil.

What is it, sir?

Solve the mystery of Marukkanakorn.

As Tassanai intended.

The professor told you about Marukkanakorn?

-Doctor. -Thanks.

Father.

I had a strange dream about Marukkanakorn in the past.

What did you dream about?

Maybe something in my dream could have happened in the past,

a thousand years ago.

Tossapol.

An archaeologist doesn't use his dream to back up their findings, son.

Scientifically, dream happens because of your inner consciousness.

Maybe you're too obsessed about Marukkanakorn.

And then, it appeared in your dream.

Marukkanakorn and Patta Nakhorn,

both kingdoms have no clear historical records.

But what I saw was...

It was so vivid. Like it happened in front of me.

Remember when we went to the Dhevalai?

Right.

When we went there, he could tell right away

that it was an execution ground.

He can even tell the story about Patta Nakhorn like a screenplay.

As if he was really there.

I thought he was crazy!

Past lives do exist, at least, in the Tripitaka scripture.

And how can you be certain that your dream is in your past life

and not just another fantasy dream?

I can't say for certain, dad.

Maybe the inscriptions will be the proof of that.

Even if dreams can't be used as evidence,

but at least, it will inspire us to search for the truth.

Once we've found all the pieces of inscriptions,

then we'll finally see,

whether Tossapol's dream is a fantasy

or the truth.

Therefore, all of you

must work together.

-Yes. -Yes, of course, doctor.

What did you say? That she-snake is still alive?

What nonsense are you spouting?

Auam, you slashed her with that sword right in front of us all.

Maybe it's not the real one?

Gore!

No, no! No, headman.

I didn't do it.

I only stole it once.

If not because of you, then why is that demon still alive?

-No idea. -Mueang-In said himself,

to completely slay the snake demon,

we had to wait until she reverted to her snake form.

Then, we can vanquish her!

We're in deep trouble now. Why did he only tell us now?

Fear not!

We still have the enchanted sword with us.

And where is the abomination now?

Goddess!

-Goddess! Goddess! -Her condition deteriorated again.

What should we do, Lueamprapat?

Why hasn't Watcharaprakan returned?

Goddess. Goddess.

Goddess.

Wherever you are, Kumkaew,

know this.

I will forever love you.

To all eternity.

If I have to reincarnate,

I wish that you and I can be together again.

Tossapol.

Goddess!

Goddess.

Chaiyasingha.

Chaiyasingha. Chaiyasingha.

-Goddess! -Goddess.

Goddess!

What a nuisance!

My lord!

Please save the goddess, my lord.

Her condition is moribund.

Only you can save her, my lord.

Thanks to your stubbornness

that you were rendered feeble as such.

She's awakened!

Goddess.

Hath not you are of my blood,

I would have left you to fate.

Lord grandfather...

You still have the audacity to name me your grandfather?

Chaos followed in your wake.

You ceaselessly cause one trouble for me to resolve, one after another.

Lord grandfather, you stopped your meditation in order to save me.

I'm sorry for troubling you.

Now that you know, ascend to the overworld no more.

Meditate and spend your time in penance in the underwater realm.

But...

I had been waiting for Chaiyasingha for a millennium.

And now that I've found him,

I wish to live together with him.

Wherever love blossoms, there exists, the seed of suffering.

I should have cursed you to petrify for the rest of eternity.

Though my corporeal body may be cursed,

my heart remains invulnerable.

My child, you and him, may have been lovers in your past lives.

But should you dwell in the past,

your joy will remain all but elusive to seize.

Excruciating, was it not?

If then, shall I cleanse the memory of yours?

I shall bear the burden of my suffering.

No matter how many more lives I have to endure.

All in exchange for a fleeting happiness with him now.

That is all I asked for.

Suppose that is what you desire,

then you too, shall bear the weight of the consequences.

Thus awaits, the culmination of your choices and deeds, Nakee.

Your body is still frail, goddess.

Please rest, my lady.

Should your corporeal form come into contact with the sun,

you might revert to the form of a great snake.

I am well now. I shall go and see him.

Right now, those villains have the sword in your possession.

Should they learn of your presence, they will seek to harm you yet again.

I must go even if my life is at risk,

for Chaiyasingha who is awaiting my return.

I must see him.

And tell him that I'm still alive.

Thus, freeing him from his worries.

A female snake is deadly vengeful.

If she's still alive, it will certainly come back for us.

That demon?

She got wounded once.

She won't let us attempt to take her life again that easily.

This time, we can't afford to miss again!

If we do, we're all dead!

If Kumkaew is still alive,

then she must come to see her husband.

Well then, you keep watch on their hut.

If she does return, come back and report.

Sure thing, Headman!

How can we know for sure?

How, shaman?

Do something. I'm dying to know.

I'm dying!

Silence! You scamp!

(Chanting mantra)

Fire mongoose?

Search for that snake demon.

Once you've found her, dispose of her immediately.

Witchdoctor, you're amazing!

Astoundingly amazing!

Mother!

Run away!

Goddess Nakee, if not for your mercy,

I would have certainly died.

Tossapol...

Whoever you are.

Thanks for saving me.

Watcharaprakan!

Are you harmed?

They knew the goddess was alive.

Leave them unchecked, and she will be in harm's way.

We cannot act.

Lord Sri Suttho strictly forbids us.

He insisted that we remained steadfast.

Remain steadfast while the villains seek to punish her?

Where is justice?

Before long, our goddess will completely turn into a human.

By then, no sorcery or arcane power will harm her ever again.

What? What happened?

Confound you! The goddess' servant saved her again!

You know now? Where has Kumkaew disappeared to?

The goddess' Dhevalai.

Then, go there and get her.

That's her territory!

If we carelessly invade it,

we're going to end up dead!

I thought you're fearless. Seems you're afraid to die, too.

What did you say, Lamjiak?

Nothing. I'll wait and see.

For the famous sorcerer Mueang-In to vanquish the snake demon.

Then, I'll tell the headman to prepare for a feast.

Soon enough!

I'll skin her right before your eyes, Lamjiak.

I'll wait for that, too.

Fairy?

Is that you?

You look so much like her.

Just like Kumkaew.

Between me and Kumkaew,

who do you truly love?

You're just a woman from my dreams.

But Kumkaew, she's the one I chose to be my life's partner.

I devoted my entire heart to her.

Even if by now, she may have departed from this world?

Wherever she is right now,

she'll forever be in my heart.

I knew I had chosen the right man.

Whether you are Chaiyasingha or Tossapol,

your heart remains one and the same.

Kumkaew has not gone anywhere.

Kumkaew will return.

Fairy! Wait, fairy!

Fairy.

Kumkaew.

Kumkaew!

Tossapol!

Kumkaew, it's really you.

You're alive.

I'm not dreaming, am I?

I thought I'd never see you again.

I can't die now.

If I die, who are you going to live with?

Where have you been?

Did you know? Everyone said you were killed by Shaman Auam!

And they smeared you, accused you of being a...

A snake demon, right?

Right. But I don't believe them one bit.

You're my wife.

How can you be a demon?

Are you hurt, Kumkaew?

Let me see.

Are you hurt anywhere?

I'm going to be okay.

Don't worry.

I'll go to the city.

Then I'll report them and get them all arrested!

I'll land every single one of them in jail!

It's no use.

Headman Yam is a power man.

He's very influential.

You'll be in trouble yourself.

Tossapol.

Can I go and see my mother first?

She would be so worried about me by now.

Maybe she can't eat or sleep even.

Of course, why not?

Let me go with you. Let's see her together.

You don't have to. I should go alone.

I don't want anyone to see me.

I'll be quick.

Sure.

Kumkaew.

Hurry up and come back.

I'll be waiting.

Kumkaew.

Mum.

Kumkaew?

Kumkaew?

Is that really you?

Kumkaew.

You're alive.

You're still alive!

My dear.

Kumkaew.

My baby.

I'm still alive, mum.

But I... I saw...

Someone saved me.

Maybe it's not my time yet.

What will you do next?

Does Tossapol know yet?

I already visited him.

That's why I came here to say goodbye.

Goodbye?

Where are you going?

I need to go into seclusion.

Seclusion?

Yes.

Goddess Nakee demanded that I retreat into seclusion for penance.

Please tell Tossapol for me.

That when the sun sets, I'll go to him.

Isn't your seclusion temporary?

Why didn't you tell him yourself?

It'll relieve him of worries.

I have to go now.

Kumkaew! What's the need to hurry?

The Dhevalai won't go anywhere.

I need to go now, mum!

My dear.

-Goddess! -Goddess!

My corporeal form...

I began to turn when I came into contact with sunlight.

It must be the influence of the metal amulet sword.

Though your wound is healed,

the effect of that sword remains.

Your body will be forced to revert to a snake if you're scorched by the sun.

Right now, the sword is in the possession of those vile men.

You should stay only in the Dhevalai.

Refrain from going anywhere.

Chutsuda.

I already dedicated my entire being to Chaiyasingha.

Even now, my will to live in this world

is nourished by my love for him.

If I have to die in the name of our love,

then I'd gladly do so.

Without regrets.

But at this time, only when the sun departs from the sky,

that you are able to go out of the Dhevalai.

You should rest.

Go into seclusion for penance?

Kumkaew has been very unfortunate lately.

That's why she retreated into penance at the Dhevalai.

Don't worry about her, Tossapol.

She'll come back at nightfall.

I can't rest easy about this, mother.

There are only ruins there.

It can collapse at any time.

And there are snakes everywhere.

I fear she might be in danger.

She grew up accustomed to that place.

That's why the Dhevalai is special to her.

I ceded her to the Goddess Nakee so she could be her godmother

before she was even born.

The goddess will protect her.

Then I'll go into seclusion, too.

Tossapol!

If you go into seclusion at the Dhevalai too,

people will notice it.

I don't want anyone to know that she's still alive.

Let her be at peace with herself for a while.

Let's not disturb her.

Mueang-In said Kumkaew is still alive.

She scurried away to the ancient castle behind the village.

Snakes by habit live in a damp, dark and dreary place.

Could it be that she's hiding in the cave under the Dhevalai?

Gore, do you remember?

About 19 years ago, Kampong's husband, Kane,

caught an albino snake with a crest from that place.

The goddess' snake? Right.

From that cave.

So? What are you waiting for?

You guys already have the sword.

Let's just go down there and kill her.

Donmaipa will finally be free from her evil clutches.

But that is her territory.

If we go there carelessly, we might end up dead instead.

Right. The shaman is right.

Let's not push our luck.

Live and let live.

Look, if you can send that demon to the fiery pit,

you can have ten million baht!

Really?

A man like me is true to his words.

Ten million?

What could be so hard?

Let's do it.

There's no such thing as a secret.

If that Kumkaew really is immortal and just won't die,

then someday, she'll come!

Both her husband and mother are here.

She can't go anywhere.

I'll keep watch on Pon...

Tossapol's hut without fail, dad.

Don't worry.

I'm taking Jerd with me.

What? Me?

No!

I forbid you. It's too risky.

But Shaman Auam said, Kumkaew is afraid of the snake tongue herb.

I'll take it with me.

I must expose her true nature to Pon.

But that is a snake, Pim.

Snake, so what? She can't fight us humans!

Pimporn!

I'll have my men watch over your daughter.

What? Kumkaew is alive?

Keep it down, you idiots!

Otherwise, Yam or his men are going to hear that.

I want to keep this a top secret.

So she won't be in trouble again.

Pon.

-Pon. -What?

Are you still in denial about her death?

So much that you started hallucinating?

She's really still alive, man.

You're going nuts.

We should give him some medication.

I'm not crazy.

She really didn't die.

She came to visit me here before dawn.

Before dawn?

That's it, Pon.

-She's a ghost! -What do you mean ghost?

Look, I'm not the only one.

Aunt Kampong saw her, too.

Now that you know, keep it down, okay?

Don't tell a soul. Even Pim and Jerd.

Understood?

I'll take her to see you later.

Don't, I'm busy.

Guys, do you believe what he said?

I think I'm half-convinced.

Maybe she's dead. Maybe she's not.

I can only hope that he didn't go nuts from grief

and started hallucinating.

Like seeing Kumkaew floats like a ghost.

When she was alive as a snake, she was scary enough,

but now that she's dead...

She's going to be terrifying as a ghost snake, Chade!

Calm down, guys.

Maybe she's really alive.

Pon is still our friend, guys.

Honestly, we should tell him again.

That his wife is still a snake.

"Sajjungwae ammata waja", truth never dies.

Those who speak the truth can still die though.

If we have to die saying the truth,

then let's not say it all.

I'd rather have my death delayed.

Kit, come over here.

Kumkaew!

I don't mind if you go into seclusion for penance.

But why come home so late?

I'm worried, you know.

Headman Yam had his men search for me all over Donmaipa.

I had to wait until dark.

Then, I could come see you.

Why won't they stop hounding you?

We can't reason with these madmen.

It's futile.

Those people, they'll do whatever it takes to get rid of me.

So long as I live,

I'll never let them lay a finger on you.

Are you hungry?

Let me prepare you some food.

Sure, I'm starving.

You're the best wife, Kumkaew.

Quiet down.

-Chade! -Wait for me!

Wait!

You see that? You see? You guys see what I see?

Did you?

I saw her, all right!

Is she alive or is that a ghost?

If you can't tell, how could we?

I don't know if that's her ghost or what.

But Kumkaew really did come back for Pon.

I'm so dead. Dead.

-So, Kumkaew is back? -She did!

Cooking over there.

Go see her yourself if you won't believe it.

-Pim! -Pim!

It's your fault, Kit!

It's nice that she came back.

This time, she'll die for real!

-Her eyes... -Move!

Pim! Wait for me, Pim!

They're going to kill each other.

It's your fault, Kit!

-We have to stop her! -Quickly!

Here it is.

Kumkaew, where are you going?

Kumkaew!

Come out and face me!

Kumkaew, where are you?

-Come out! -What's the ruckus?

Are you mute or what?

Didn't you say so? That you saw her.

No, you see. We just saw things

because we were saddened by Tossapol's grief. Right, Prakit?

I don't know. I'm sleepy. I should take a nap.

Wait!

I forgot about my laundry completely! Let's go together.

-Let's go... -You're not going anywhere!

Not until you confirm that Kumkaew is still alive.

If you're here to pick a fight, then run along.

I didn't know that you can cook bumpkin's food, too.

I learned as I go.

Kumkaew taught me.

Is that so?

And the rice?

Since when did you eat three bowls?

Stop sticking your nose into my life.

Not until Kumkaew burns in the fiery pit.

Even without Kumkaew,

I wouldn't bat an eyelid on a heartless woman like you.

Stop making me hate you, Pim.

Even now,

I can barely hold myself back from resenting you.

Tossapol!

And you four,

leave this place.

Let's leave...

Keep running while you can.

You can't run away from the truth.

That Kumkaew is still a snake!

Pim, I think we should leave.

This is getting too tense.

Please, Pim?

Kumkaew must have returned.

That hut wasn't even that big.

If she was really there, then we would have noticed her.

Maybe those four really were seeing things.

Kumkaew isn't even a human.

She probably turned invisible or something.

Can snakes turn invisible?

She's a snake demon for goodness sake!

She just won't know her place.

Don't be afraid, Kumkaew.

It's fine now.

I fear parting.

Nothing will ever part me from you.

Why did you love me?

I just love you, all right?

I don't need any reasons to love you.

I've fallen in love with you at first sight.

I just feel happy being with you.

I want to grow old with you.

Does it matter why I love you?

Wait for me, okay?

Not for long.

Can you?

Sure. I'll be waiting for sure.

No matter how long it takes.

Where did she go?

Kumkaew! Kumkaew!

Wait for me, Kumkaew!

Kumkaew! Wait, Kumkaew!

-Tossapol. -Kumkaew.

Tossapol!

Let me go and take penance with you.

I promise I won't disturb you.

Go back. I beg of you.

But I'm worried.

I fear that the headmen and his goons will hurt you.

Please let me be.

So they wouldn't dare to, Kumkaew.

Kumkaew.

Unhand me.

I need to go!

What are you hiding from me?

You're just going into seclusion. What's the rush?

There! She's right there!

Wait, Kumkaew!

Hey! Don't try to run!

Don't you dare.

I'm not letting you through!

Where? Where is she?

I'm going to finish her off with my sword once and for all!

You want to hurt her? Try me.

Move, boy.

If you don't want us to beat you up.

Ganging up on a woman like the dogs you are?

Why aren't you the bold one.

Boys! Teach him a lesson!

That's enough!

That's enough already!

Stop it!

-Stop it. -Dad, stop them.

Hey, that's enough!

That girl must have been on her way to the Dhevalai already.

After her.

-Pon... -Pon.

Why are you so barbaric?

Pon.

It's all because of Kumkaew!

The stench of snakes is very strong.

She must be lurking in the shadows.

Like we're afraid of her.

Press on!

I have a bad feeling about this.

Shaman Auam, you take the lead.

This time.

My sacred sword will feast on that demon's blood.

That's nice.

Lead on then!

I wonder if there's any treasure here.

If there's any idol or treasure,

it would fetch a nice price.

Don't you think so, Headman Yam?

Ever since I was made a headman,

I haven't come this far into the ruins.

This is the first time.

Hey! Stop with your small talk.

You might as well end up dead littering the ruins instead!

How conceited.

He is so arrogant, isn't he?

Once you've outlived your use,

I'm going to ask the headman to write you off.

You devious shaman.

Quiet already, Gore!

Lead!

You boys, break up and search the ruins.

Flush her out.

Yes, headman.

The stench of snakes sickens me.

Halt!

Watch it. Watch it carefully.

I can't believe this.

Don't let me see you scurry away this time.

Hey!

Snakes...

I'm out of here!

Fight them!

Wait for me, headman!

I can't take it anymore!

Why you little...

Hey! Wait for me, you crippled jerk!

What? Who are you calling a crippled jerk?

You, of course!

You threw it. Go and get it yourself!

They all ran away for their dear lives, goddess.

When are they going to give up?

You ask when?

When they're dead, of course.

I desire to sin no more, Watcharaprakan.

The weight of the sins and their consequences,

they are all but clear to me now.

I ended up an albino snake these days

because of the atrocities I committed a millennium ago.

But the curse placed by our lord is about to cease.

You shall become a human as you have always strived for.

But the sword remains in those villains' hands.

Certainly, they won't cease their hostility.

We snakes are incapable of approaching that sword.

Only humans.

Noble Kampong risked her life for me stealing the sword.

Yet, she failed.

I wish no more for anyone to risk their lives for my sake.

Then who could be brave enough to dispose of that sword?

Seriously! We were so close!

That filthy snake is indeed cunning.

Doesn't matter how many men I threw at her,

she killed them all.

You said your sword is so sacred!

So holy!

How come you couldn't fight?

Those were hordes of snakes, Gore!

With just one sword, even enchanted, can't fight them off!

They're snakes.

They're still scary!

You chicken!

Why didn't you tell us so?

As long as she lurks in the Dhevalai's shadow,

we can't do anything to her.

We still have the metal amulet sword.

Let's see how long she can cower!

If she returns,

we'll send her to the fiery pit!

Here, your cane.

When did you find it?

When you threw it, it hit my head.

I'm still worried about Kumkaew.

I wonder if she's harmed.

Kumkaew is the goddess' minion.

She won't be harmed easily.

Watch what you say, man!

Don't panic.

Jerd said the headman's lackeys got killed by snakes.

So, they decided to call the search off.

She may be safe today.

But what about the future?

She'll probably face the shaman's cold steel one day.

Can't you stop spouting crap for once?

Not again. Not again, man.

They believe that the sword is enchanted.

That it can slay any demons or spirits.

And now, she's accused of being a snake demon.

They'll try to kill her with it eventually!

That is one razor-sharp sword, though.

Don't even mention ghosts, I doubt a living man can survive it.

I'm scared of it myself.

Where? Where is she?

I'm going to finish her with my sword once and for all.

I need to find a way to get rid of that sword.

It's impossible, man.

You're thinking of stealing that sword,

you surely can count me out.

But if we don't,

they'll kill Kumkaew with it.

I can't bear to see it!

But that sword is extremely important.

They'll hold onto it as if it's their lives.

Yeah, and that's why I need your help, guys.

Stealing is against the second tenet.

I'm not doing it. It's sinful.

You want to see Kumkaew die?

She's my wife!

Pon, something is eventually inevitable.

Whatever will be, will be.

Fine! If you refuse,

I'll do it myself!

Pon...

Pon!

You guys really don't think of helping him?

Well, Kumkaew is still a snake. We all saw it.

Talking about it,

I never saw Kumkaew hurt anyone though.

If there's anyone,

it's the headman who never stopped harassing Kumkaew or her mum.

Everyone's probably concerned for his own life.

Maybe those villagers are just trying to defend themselves.

That's why they forged that metal amulet sword.

Yeah, she's a snake.

But she's still defenceless.

Pon loves his wife even more so than himself.

He just won't listen to our warnings.

Honestly, considering everything,

we should help Pon get his wish.

What's so wrong with it? His romance with his snake wife.

Not to mention, he's still our dear friend.

What are they doing?

Hey! Who's there stealing my jackfruit?

Don't make me come for you!

It's perfectly ripe, jerk.

Gosh, it's just a few jackfruits.

Just ignore them and think of it as charity.

Hey, you boys go and take a look.

A thief!

Hey! My sword!

After him!

-Quickly! -After him!

Quickly!

Tossapol!

Stop or I'll shoot!

Shoot him, Gore!

What is that?

Kit!

You cowards are just standing there?

I'll get you this time.

Don't you dare!

You got him, Gore! Get him!

Guys, help him quickly!

Nowhere to run now, boy.

Now, hand me the sword.

You want it?

Go and get it!

No!

My sword!

How am I supposed to slay that snake now?

You idiot!

I'll stomp you until you die!

Any idea how much we've been through to get that metal?

Kick this idiot!

Guys! Protect Pon!

Do you have a death wish, too?

Fine!

I was merciful enough not to order their death.

Not only did they take the idol.

They even angered the goddess in the process!

Making her unleash her minions to slaughter people.

How are our children supposed to survive?

Think about it!

Right...

He has a point.

My son, Lueang, is already one of the victims!

I don't want to see all of you end up as another of that snake demon's victims!

Who's this snake demon, headman?

-Who is it, headman? -Who is it?

-Tell us, who is it? -Who is it?

It's Kumkaew! She's the snake demon!

-I saw with my own eyes! -Kumkaew?

-Kumkaew? -Is it true?

You all saw her eccentricities.

She dared to live with a city man!

She's the cause of all these tragedies!

Angering the goddess, too!

How many more have to die?

You all knew too well!

Right...

Then we can't let this go on, headman!

-We must kill them! Right, guys? -Kill them!

-Kill them! -Don't spare them!

Kill them all!

As long as they live, they'll make us suffer, too!

-That's right! -That's right!

Let's do it, headman! Kill them all!

Let's do it, headman!

Kill them all...

Careful now. Easy.

He's still unconscious.

What should we do?

Just look at him. He got shot.

And he got trampled on so badly. I'm not sure if he's going to make it.

At least, he succeeded what he wanted to do.

If Kumkaew knows, I'm sure she'll be glad.

Seriously, his devotion to Kumkaew,

is it great enough for him to die for her?

Tossapol!

You and your wife, Kumkaew, come out, right this instance!

What are those people doing here?

Guys, let's see what's going on. Come.

I'll go, too.

Everyone, did you come to see how Tossapol is doing?

As if they are! Just look at them.

They're all eager to kill someone.

Tossapol!

You and your wife, Kumkaew, come out, right at this instance!

Easy now. Let's talk like civilized people.

Kumkaew didn't come here.

And Tossapol is resting after your men trampled him.

He's still unconscious, headman.

Nonsense!

Her husband is here. So the wife must be here, too!

Why are they so stubborn?

Come out and face us!

-Come out! -Come out!

Tossapol, can you hear me?

You and your wife, come out right now!

Otherwise, we will burn their shack to the ground!

Calm down...

Burn and I'll have you arrested for arson!

Right!

Very well!

Let's burn it!

Pon! Pon! Tossapol!

-Pon! -No, don't!

You're going to burn him alive?

That stubborn jerk brought it all upon himself.

Can't help it!

Pon! Tossapol!

What do we do? The fire is spreading!

Pon!

Pon! Pon!

-Pon! -Pon!

Let's help him!

Pon!

Why is it raining now?

Go save Pon, guys!

Pon!

Get moving, quickly!

Kumkaew!

Seriously! We're out of here!

Hey! Why are you running away?

Don't leave me here!

What have I done to you?

Why can't you stop harassing me?

You killed my son!

Kumkaew! You snake demon!

Someday, I'll have your filthy head to avenge my son!

Easy, guys.

-Gently... -Slowly.

-Watch it, Kit. -Easy, put him there.

Slowly... Watch his arms.

Slowly now...

Gently...

Be careful.

-Slowly. -Let's put him down slowly.

Kumkaew.

Be careful.

We're lucky it suddenly rained.

Finally, General Chaiyasingha breaks the curse of the metal amulet sword.

But still, he barely survived the ordeal.

Niruttarat and his minions would not be so inclined to relent.

I shall go and purge them once and for all.

I will accompany you.

Hold it.

Let karma dictate their consequences.

Let nature take its course.

Should we get involved in this,

we'll only be tangled in the fabric of an endless cycle of vengeance.

You wish for me to give in to these vile animals, Lueamprapat?

Our goddess suffered their atrocities without retaliation.

In the hope of ending the cycle of never-ending revenge in this life.

And now that their only weapon to defeat her is no more,

we too, should cease our hostility.

Where are you going?

I must be vigilant and protect the goddess' idol.

I was afraid I'd never see you again.

Did you realize what you've done?

You challenged Yam and his thugs.

Aren't you afraid to die?

I am. But I'm more afraid they'll hurt you.

If you die, then I won't have anything to live for.

I won't die so easily.

We still need to have a baby, Kumkaew.

Pervert.

We haven't even done such a thing.

Badly hurt but mouthy as ever.

Kumkaew, here's medicine to ease his bruises.

Eat this.

All right.

You must have made the headman incensed.

Now that you've thrown his sword away.

He rallied the mob to burn you along with your hut.

Fortunately, it rained.

You were saved just in the nick of time.

Those people, they're all barbaric.

They will kill even a defenceless creature.

They're nothing but human scum.

Kumkaew.

Even Buddha was disturbed by devils.

The devils sought to prevent us from living in peace.

If we only we ignore them,

they can do nothing to disturb us.

To get that metal amulet from Phu Pranang,

we went through so much trouble!

But your son! How dare he throw away our sword?

What is wrong is wrong.

What about you and the headman's attempt to set my son's hut on fire?

I think that's wrong, too.

Who's going to take responsibility if my son got burnt alive inside?

That Kumkaew, of course.

But she wouldn't let her man die that easily.

Her power grows by the day.

Even an enchanted sword couldn't finish her.

You're all insane!

Kumkaew is just an ordinary girl.

How could she be a snake?

If only you witnessed what I saw,

you wouldn't spout such ignorance!

Even if tried my best to convince you,

someone like you wouldn't try to understand!

Be my guest and feel free to go on your mad quest to slay snakes and demons.

But remember this.

Stay away from my son and his family.

Oh, my. Aren't you one tough nut to crack?

Easy there.

Here, a gun.

For self-defence.

Just in case you need it.

Dad, I don't know how to shoot a gun. You knew it.

What could be so hard about it?

Just aim and hit the target.

Thank you.

Oh, don't leave.

I need to talk with you.

So, those people said

that you, Kumkaew, are a snake.

You knew that?

Dad.

I know.

Why did you suffer living here then?

If not here,

then my mother and I wouldn't have anywhere to live.

Come and live in Bangkok with me, Kumkaew.

There, he said it. Do what Tossapol said.

Come with us to Bangkok.

It's the only way to save you and your mother

from the madness and chaos in Donmaipa.

I want to come with you.

But I can't yet.

If not Bangkok, we can live somewhere else.

Nowhere else, too.

It's not time yet.

Time for what?

I don't know either.

I only know that I can't go anywhere right now.

How long do you have to wait?

Until it's time.

Then I'll know it.

That Kumkaew is still alive!

I saw her with my own two eyes.

If she's alive, then I'll go kill her!

Wait!

She's not even a human being.

Even the shaman's enchanted sword couldn't harm her.

How do you intend to fight her?

She's just a lowly animal!

If there's anything she can do to harm us,

she would have killed us already!

Get a grip, Pim!

That white snake is devious.

Nineteen years ago, she already cost me a leg!

I don't want to lose you, too.

But dad...

Pim!

Ever since Tossapol dumped that sword into the river,

Shaman Auam only cowered inside his house.

Terrified that the snake will come for his life.

Is there nobody that could defeat Kumkaew at all?

There's another.

He might be our only hope.

So, your shaman was defeated?

Now, you've come to seek my help.

We've run out of options.

You're our only hope, sorcerer.

If you can defeat that snake demon,

I'll have my villagers build you a hermitage in your honour.

You can have it even grander than the one in Nakh Nhee.

Reputation and riches?

I don't need them.

I desire only one thing.

Her skin.

So, do you have any ideas on how to eradicate her once and for all?

I need a medium object to use in a ritual to subdue her.

Medium object? What's that?

Anything. Anything with her demonic influence.

The goddess' idol!

What idol? Do I know of this?

The half-human, half-snake idol!

I dreamed of a crested albino snake slithering off that idol.

But now, it's at the bottom of the river.

Where is it? Take me there!

There.

It's on the riverbed, in the middle of the river.

What are you doing?

Stupid question. Diving, of course.

Hold this for me.

The current is strong and the water is deep!

If you dive, you're going to drown!

You, shut up. And sit tight.

I need to concentrate!

(Chanting mantra)

He's gone!

Why is he not coming back?

Look! He salvaged the idol!

Help him, quickly!

How did you get it up?

This time, you're as good as dead. Snake devil!

Kumkaew, it's getting very windy.

It might rain soon.

Close the doors and windows.

All right.

So with all three pieces perfectly fit together...

The mystery of Marukkanakorn will finally be revealed!

This is one of the greatest archaeological discoveries.

Sure, keep playing hard to get.

After the bonfire ritual is done tonight,

I'll make you mine, Kampong.

(Chanting mantra)

You're scorching hot, Kumkaew.

Don't come any closer!
