Original subtitles

"During the reign of King Prapunwasa,"

the city of Ayudhaya

became prosperous from trading with foreign nations.

"Although a few rebel groups existed," they were not difficult to control.

The town of Supunburi was under the command of Ayudhaya

and home to the magical warrior Kungai...

a man of great courage and versatility.

He was Head of the Swordsmen.

"His wife, Tongpasri, had a son Plykaew"

whose friend Chang was son of "Srivichai and Thapton,"

who were wealthy and popular in town.

"However, when the king visited Supunburi,"

Plykaew's life changed forever.

Get out of the way!

Supunburi Downtown Market

His Majesty decrees that "his landed servant, Srivichai,"

orders Kungai and his men to round up a herd of wild buffaloes

within five days and take them to the royal camp at Supunburi river.

Get out of the way!

The King is coming!

"Do you like this, Pim?"

Kaew! Kaew!

"Kaew, this is for you."

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Where are you going?

Dad!

Where are my wild buffaloes Kungai?

Bring them now, I want to see them

but only those with beautiful horns.

"I'll pay you whatever you want: cloth, gold."

Drive them away! Don't let them reach the camp!

Get away!

Kungai! So few buffaloes!

And you let them stampede into my camp!

Executioner!

Take him away and cut off his head!

Whip and chain his slaves!

Take back his family's property.

Where are Kungai's wife and son? Bring them here!

- Mum! - My son!

Have you seen Kungai's wife and son?

They went that way.

Hurry! Follow them!

We'll split up and find them!

Come on, son!

This one speaks of horse matters.

What makes a good horse, and how to train them.

This one is about metals, making iron

and designing powerful swords.

I have nothing more to teach you Kaew.

The only person you can learn from now is...

the abbot at Wat Palaylai in Supunburi.

Tongpasi, I accept your son as my disciple

for the sake of Kungai's spirit.

I will teach him all that I know.

But how he turns out is up to him.

My teaching is complete, Kaew.

Don't be promiscuous.

Be honest with people.

You look so beautiful today.

If Chang saw you, he would light up at the dock of Pim's House.

Don't be shy!

Put the food in his bowl.

I'm not a horse, I don't eat that much.

Save some for the other monks.

You look so handsome, Chang.

I don't like it, too garish! Take it away!

Try this one.

Hurry up, Grub.

Who's a handsome devil, then?

Are you going to take all day?

It's only a temple fair, now hurry up before I get annoyed.

Grub!

You want to change again?

No, where is my charm powder?

Here it is.

I almost forgot it.

Adore me, love me, adore me, love me.

I want to make donations with Pim.

This time, every time. This meal, every meal.

I'd give my life for her.

Don't say things like that!

Wait, Pim!

Are you trying to kill me?

You bald buffoon!

Out of the way! Move!

You're in my way! Get out!

This is for you.

Dad!

- Where is that thief, Grub? - I saw him over there!

Come on then, he hasn't seen me yet.

Hurry! You must leave right now, Kaew.

Chang is coming with his men.

Chang?

Don't fight here!

Pim will get into trouble.

Mum! Mum!

What have you been doing?

I'll have a heart attack!

Who have you been fighting with?

Look at your bruises, what happened to your face?

Kungai's son, Kaew, hit me.

Did you know he is no longer a monk?

What does that have to do with you?

He gave up being a monk to be with Pim.

You know how much I love Pim.

If I hadn't got there in time,

my Pim would have been taken away.

I would have been heartbroken.

If you love me,

you must arrange our betrothal.

Please Mum!

Please help Chang!

Grub, Sri!

Yes, sir?

Go to the garment factory and dye all the cloth a ruby color.

It'll be gifts for my wedding day.

Yes, sir.

You rogue!

I haven't agreed yet.

Gotta go!

Sripajun, your daughter Pim will make an excellent wife.

Everyone talks about her beauty.

Are you sure about this, matchmaker?

I'm quite sure, Chang.

Gloy is a medium.

She talks to spirits, everyone believes in her.

Isn't that true, Sri?

Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes.

Chang's mother is very rich.

She is using her wealth to try to get Pim to marry her son.

Isn't that right, Thaptong?

Please bring Pim here.

Pim, Sripajun wants you to meet Chang.

I don't want to!

Tell my mother that I don't want to.

Pim doesn't want to come out.

I knew it.

Let's go home!

Even though Pim doesn't know about Chang's plans, begin the...

arrangements. Choose the date for the date and dowry ceremony.

On the full moon, that's auspicious. It's five days away, plenty of time.

Why are you making such a racket?

You'll deafen me. Just what is wrong with you?

You're rotten, Chang.

What's going on here?

Please sit down, Sripajun.

Really?

Is it true that you slept with Kaew?

Huh?

What a waste of time!

I knew no one would ever want you.

Let's go, everyone.

Grub, Sri, get everyone out of here!

Or I'll kick you all to death!

- Go on, get out! - Get out of here!

Move!

You two as well! Get out!

Get out!

Damn it.

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Kaew...

Kaew...

You don't have to do this any more.

I can bathe myself, feed myself.

And when I want to sleep with my husband,

I can do that myself!

First, I'm furious with my husband.

Second, I don't like you...

I have lost faith in you.

You can whip me to death, I don't mind

but please don't be cold to me!

Pim. Pim, beat me!

Just let me die, please Pim!

It must be Portuguese witchcraft

and the king is seeing Heaven.

I'm worried about something else, the rebellion in the North.

Who will the king choose to fight?

The uprising in Chiang Mai is spreading to Ching Tong.

Can't have that, it sets a bad example.

Your majesty, Kungai had a son named Kaew.

He studied with Monk Boon in Kanchanburi.

Then with Monk Mee at Palalai Temple....

His Majesty decrees that Plykaew, son of Kungai,

will fight the rebels in the North.

Chiang Mai

Sankumman, what do you want?

Each year, Ayudhaya takes people

as slaves for the King.

Many of them run away and get killed.

Please ask His Majesty not to come to Jomtong.

I promise you

our people will support Ayudhaya.

But can I believe you, Sankumman?

I, Laotong, daughter of Sankumman

give myself to you as a special gift.

Are you sure?

I don't want to upset anyone.

I'm sure.

This time, to prove my father's sincerity.

Next time, you can read other things into it.

Pim, please rest.

Pim!

I told you...

let's go back home.

It's best to change her name now. Wantong is more suitable.

Call her Wantong.

Don't use Pimpilalai any more, it's bad luck.

Pimpilalai is dead.

This is Wantong, a new person.

Plykaew won the battle in Chiang Mai.

Hurry, before all the ghosts show up.

Grub, are you afraid of ghosts?

Forgive me if I've behaved badly.

I no longer want revenge.

We used to be good friends.

I have to tell you the truth these bones are for you.

Whose bones are they?

Plykaew's.

What?

A brave soldier, he died by the Chiang Tong wall.

His sword still in his hand.

These are his remains.

Wantong!

Get smelling salts for my daughter!

Saitong, Kaew is still alive, he's doing very well.

He is always victorious in battle.

Why did you think he was dead?

You won the battle.

You shall now be called Kunpan

and have five hundred soldiers at your command

at Kanchanaburi's borders.

You will be given a fabulous horse and royal properties.

Mother, please stop beating her!

Don't argue, Wantong.

Nothing is going to change.

You still have to marry Kunchang!

This one thinks she knows everything,

She's nothing but trouble!

But the abbot says Kaew isn't dead!

The abbot is getting old, he doesn't know what's what.

If Kaew isn't dead and loses the war...

we might as well sign up as slaves.

There's no need to be concerned, Pim will understand.

My Wantong, I'm worried you haven't eaten anything.

Why do you stay by the river each day?

I'm waiting for my husband.

Wantong, I am your husband.

Don't talk about the dead any more.

Kaew!

Pim, whose house is this?

Why have you built on my land?

It's my land!

Stop it, Kaew!

Mom, I want to cut his head off

and give it to Wantong, my lovely wife.

Who?

You've been away at war for so long.

You never sent us a word, I thought you were dead.

Pim became obsessed with you and got very ill.

The abbot changed her name to Wantong

so she would have better luck.

It was me who gave her to Chang.

Kaew...

Please forgive me.

I didn't want it to be like this.

Don't sweet talk me.

If you don't love him. Why are you living with him?

Don't Kaew!

Kaew, no.

If you kill him, you'll be punished.

I understand now.

When you arrived, you were strutting...

Triumphant from war

with a peasant as your wife!

Pim!

Are you going to hit me?

Because I'm telling the truth?

Kaew, you beast!

Get out of my house!

Kaew, you aren't a man.

Now you have rank you think you can bully people.

You don't respect the law.

Well, you can hit me all you want, but don't bring that girl here!

Don't get involved!

I will!

Kaew, you curse me

but you are no better!

- Don't, Kaew! - Don't you dare!

Help! Wantong is killing herself!

Wantong, Wantong, Wantong!

Go, go!

Are you in love with Pim?

Just go to sleep,

don't ask me again.

I have only you.

You can lie to me...

but don't lie to yourself.

Why did you ask me?

You call me Pim when we make love.

Go, go!

Go, go!

Don't try it, Kaew.

Let's fight him, Chang.

I want to know what has gone on

between Chang and Wantong.

Is there anything I need to know?

Tell me now before it's too late.

Whether you are Plykaew or Kunpan,

Wantong is now mine.

Why do you want to separate us?

Kunpan, before you do anything you should listen.

Think about Wantong!

So, she has two husbands

but she didn't know you were still alive.

You complain, but you have more than one wife.

Wantong never loved Kunchang at all.

I don't believe you, if she still cared for me

not even ten Kunchangs could tempt her.

I could have given her everything, riches beyond compare.

Plykaew was poor compared to Kunpan.

What I've brought this time

is just to trade with your disgusting son-in-law and Wantong.

Let's go!

Kunpan, Kunchang told me everything.

If the lizard didn't make that noise...

he would already be dead.

You're angry that Kunchang took your wife,

but you have Laotong now.

I order you to stop fighting.

If either of you creates more trouble,

I'll take your wives to live with me.

I'm always thinking of Pim and her two husbands.

It drives me crazy.

I only want Laotong from now on.

Actually I'm on duty today

but can you handle it for me?

I need to go home but I won't be long.

I won't get you into trouble.

Just a minute, Kunpan.

This magic telescope the foreigners gave me is pretty good.

We have big trouble, Your Majesty!

We have big trouble, Your Majesty!

We have big trouble, Your Majesty!

What's wrong, Kunchang?

There's an emergency in our kingdom.

I must inform you of something!

What emergency?

You rewarded Kunpan

so well that he has grown arrogant and is breaking your rules.

He left work to have sex with his wife at his mother house in Kanchanaburi.

I warned him but he ignored me

and said he was a royal official now.

Take some soldiers strip him of his rank

give him one hundred lashes,

seize all his property and bring his wife to me.

They will never see one another again.

Once Kun Pan was a proud warrior, now he is nothing.

This speaks about horse matters,

explaining what makes a good horse and how to train them.

This one is about metals,

how to make pure iron and create powerful swords.

The horse and the sword will give you spiritual power

so you need never succumb to anyone.

Do it, you can do it.

Bring them all back from hell.

I don't want to.

Pathetic, you weakling, that's why your father died.

Love? Loyalty? So what?

Nobody cares, even Pim betrayed you.

Don't you remember?

You were born to be a great man.

Yes, I was born to be great.

So get rid of love and bring me back to life!

You will be the most best warrior ever and the most powerful.

As hell is my witness, I now swear

to seek revenge on Chang and adulterous Wantong!

Show me the way!

All my horses gallop except See Mork.

That special horse of misty hue.

He's handsome but evil.

He drinks blood not water.

Eats meat not grass.

He roars like thunder and rages like the storm.

See Mork, come with me.

Kaew, If you meet a woman

and can see into her womb.

Her magic baby will become a weapon for you.

Where are we?

This is my cave,

I am Moinhun.

Who are you?

My name is Kaew.

Catch him! Catch him!

What's wrong with you all? Can't you even catch a horse?

What sort of bandits are you?

That's a good horse and you seem to know magic.

You can stay here to recover and we'll talk when you're better.

Are you sure, Moinhan?

What is your daughter's name?

My name is Buaklee.

If you want to ride, I'll teach you.

Buaklee!

What's wrong, father?

Take this.

With your boyfriend alive,

I can't get his magic books.

Don't worry about your baby,

you can give the little bastard away.

No, I can't do it!

But I'm your father, Buaklee!

I beg you, please save Kaew for me.

Now go Buaklee!

Aren't you going to eat with me?

Buaklee, you can wake up now.

Kaew!

Who could be angry with someone who was put under a spell?

So do you agree to rob with us?

I beg you, don't make me kill anyone.

I didn't come here for that.

So, give me your three sacred books.

We need the magic to protect us.

But you already have magic.

It's not so powerful as yours.

You must choose, rob with us or give us the books!

I can't do either.

Then you're no use to us.

Kaew!

Kaew!

Father!

What about this one?

No need to learn that

it's black magic.

What's the matter?

Kaew! I had a nightmare.

We were in whirlpool of blood!

You don't have to be afraid.

It was just a dream.

Will you run away with me?

I can't, Kaew.

I can't leave my father.

Then may I keep your baby?

Why do you want the baby?

Will you give it to me?

Certainly, Kaew.

I beg you, please don't do it.

Buaklee is kind and the baby is yours.

But she tried to poison me...

And her father tried to steal my magic books.

He is evil, but Buaklee loves you.

Could you really do it?

Kaew! You killed my daughter!

Kill him!

Kill him!

If you want to die, stay right there!

Don't, Kaew.

Grub, Sri, where are you?

Why did you let him in here?

Wantong!

Soldiers, stop them!

Don't let them get away!

Wantong!

- Stop them! - Hurry! Go after them!

Which way did they go?

What?

Drink this Pim, you must be thirsty.

Why are you doing this, Kaew?

I love you so much, Pim.

I've tried to forget you, but I can't eating, sleeping, in forest or river...

I am always thinking about you.

Thinking about me? Forget me!

If you want to go crazy, do it...

but I don't want to be with anyone any more!

Don't go, Pim!

Don't go, Pim! Stay with me!

Let me go!

Pim!

- Let me go! - Stay with me!

I want to go home, stay away!

Pim, Pim!

- Let me go! - No, I won't go.

You're my wife, you must stay with me.

No! I want to go home!

Let me go, Kaew, let me go!

Let me go, Kaew, Please!

No! Let me go, Kaew, Please!

Let me go, Kaew, Please!

Your Majesty, That audacious Kunpan!

After you took away his title and his wife...

he went mad.

He tried to organise a rebellion against you.

Pim, are you ok?

They have arrested Kunpan's mother.

The soldiers say that Kunpan has organized a mob of rebels.

The soldiers have arrested his mother.

Anyone who knows where Kunpan is...

must say, or they will be killed.

All this is because of Kunchang, he lied to the King.

My mother has been arrested.

I have no choice now, I must tell the king the truth.

This is where I left the monkhood just to be with you.

I surrender to the law.

She is my wife.

She can't come in!

Let's go!

Your Majesty ordered me to fight in Chiantong.

While I was away, Kunchang told people I was dead.

He then took my wife Pim away.

Her name is Wantong, Your Majesty.

Enough! You two are like children!

However, Plykaew took Chiangtong back

and Chang is very loyal.

I shall punish no one but I order you to stop fighting.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I am at your mercy, Your Majesty!

Please consider my wife Laotong, you took her taken away.

I would like her back.

Kunpan, don't be so greedy!

You ask for her as well?

Don't you trust me?

Do you think I treat her badly?

I had no intention of punishing you, but now...!

Prayayomraj, put Kunpan in chains and throw him in the dungeon!

Leave me! I don't want to live with you any more!

Leave me!

You beast, Chang!

Leave me!

Wantong, please come back to me!

No! Leave me!

Wantong!

I'm your husband!

Grub, Sri, hurry up!

Someone get the doctor, quickly!

Are you feeling better?

Foi, put some turmeric on her before her stomach gets burnt.

Please let me hold him.

Lovely baby! Come to daddy.

Whose baby are you?

Eat something...

or you'll die before your wife visits you.

I no longer have a wife.

Yeah, women are all the same.

If you're in jail, they assume you're dead.

Eat up, come on.

Chang's a loser!

Loser Chang!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Why are you fighting?

He is cheating, Pim!

He hit me first.

Loser Chang!

- Loser Chang - Stop! Stop!

Catch me if you can, Baldie!

Father.

Kaew, how are you?

Tongpasri brought this baby to me,

she wants him to be like his father.

My name is Plyarm.

My grandfather is Kungai.

My father is Plykaew...

formerly Kunpan, the mighty warrior.

My mother is Wantong.

I studied at Pailalai Temple, the same place as my father.

Listen, this is very important.

I am going to make you commander in chief

of my army to fight in Chiangmai.

If you win, I shall reward you well.

Jaminsri, How's Kunpan?

He's still in jail, your Majesty.

Forward!

Kunpan, I always knew you were the best.

Your reputation is well deserved.

You can go, my magic child.

Father!

Are you throwing it away?

I used it to kill so many people.

May I have it?

I really want it.

I need to use it.

To kill people?

I must, the King has ordered it.

I am in charge of the Northern Territories.

I must go before the rebels act.

I'll be a great warrior like you.

Answer me this Plyarm.

Why do you want to be like me?

Can't you see?

I have nothing left except my sins.

I searched for magic just to be good enough

for your mother.

But now I would give it all up for her and you.

I have something I must do before I go to war.

Tomorrow, go to the cotton field.

Mother will be waiting there for you.

I brought you up, Plyarm.

You're still a smooth talker.

Wasn't it you who tried to kill me when I was a child?

I was lucky that the forest angels saved me

and fortunate to have lived

with my grandmother in Kanchanaburi.

Let's go mother, father can't wait long.

Plyarm, you son of a bitch!

I'll tell the King to kill you!

Wantong, you must leave now.

Wantong, Wantong!

What am I going to do with you?

They keep fighting and it's all because of you, Wantong.

I must go to the elephant corral.

You are wasting my time.

I'm not going to ask who is right or who is wrong.

Wantong, tell me who you want. Which one do you love?

Well, who is it? Speak up!

Tell me now!

Hurry! Tell me! Which one do you want?

I must go and see the elephants.

I love Kunpan.

Our life has been difficult, but we are drawn to each other.

I care for Kunchang, he looks after me and makes life easy.

Wantong with two husbands, you want them both.

You're so greedy, full of lust!

Will you make up your mind?

I order you to tell me.

Answer me!

I order you to tell me.

Answer me!

I have already told you, your Majesty.

Are you avoiding answering me?

Not exactly, your Majesty.

Jaminsri, take her and kill her publicly. Let the people see the evil in her.

Cut off her head, slit open her breast to let the crows eat.

Put banana leaves under her so her blood won't touch my land!

Wantong!

Wantong!

Wantong!

Leave me!

Jaminsri! Help me, don't let Wantong die!

It is the King's order, I really cannot help you.

Don't let Wantong die!

- Leave me! - I'll give you everything I own!

Please help me.

What? Don't you understand?

I told you, I can't help you!

Can I help you, Chang?

Kunpan, hurry!

Go to the execution place.

Wantong is about to be beheaded!

Wantong, my daughter!

Please let me see her! Let me go!

Sir, please! Please save my daughter!

Kaew.

Pim, I want to take you away.

If I survive, my life will be the same...

I will be Wantong with two husbands.

I don't care at all.

You say that now,

but how can I trust you?

I believed you before

when you said you wanted only me.

But how many women do you have?

I've only ever loved you Kaew.

But your Pim is dead.

She couldn't trust her husband's words.

When people talk of Wantong

they talk of her with two husbands.

Whether you're Pim or Wantong I still love you!

If you love me...

please let Wantong die from your memory,

from everyone's memory.

But think fondly of Pimpilalai.

You can't die!

Don't you love me?

I love you.

I've loved you my whole life.

But, for once, I want to love myself.

Kaew...

whether we were good together or whether we were bad

we should forgive each other.

Executioner, hurry!

Pim!

Pim!

- Stop the execution! - Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Pim!
