Original subtitles

When I was in the water,

I saw a brief flashback.

I saw someone chasing Boonta.

So you think you didn't try to kill yourself?

Someone tried to kill you.

I suspect

that the one who had your boat sunk is Dokgaew.

I think it might not have been Dokgaew.

Why is Boonta so lucky?

Why is it so hard to kill her?

I'll find another way, ma'am.

He looks handsome,

but his teeth are black with betel. I don't like it.

- Pay me! - Let go!

Why didn't you arrest him, sir?

I would have to arrest the one who hired him too, right?

Please don't tell Chaai.

What do you want of me?

I'll do anything.

You promised.

Aunt said you wanted to talk to me.

What is it?

Do you know the person in this drawing?

I do not.

Even if I do,

who would recognize him?

He covers his face.

Who is he?

He's the one who sank Boonta's boat.

You seem so worried about that courtesan.

Yet she keeps picking fights all around town.

I'm doing my job.

A matter this serious,

and you would have me stand down?

You asked me about that drawing.

Are you suspecting me?

I don't want anyone to become a suspect

unless they did it.

I really don't know that man.

- Aunt. - Yeah?

How do you know when a solar eclipse will happen?

Why would you want to know about the sun getting eaten?

You know it?

Aunt, do you know when it will happen?

What gave you that idea?

Look at me. I'm just a cook.

I'm not an oracle.

So where can I find one?

There's a Hoan at the market.

Go and visit him.

(Episode 6: Home Sweet Home)

It's payday.

Come on.

Well...

How much...

Where's mine?

Wait! Isn't it 70-30?

The master of the house gets 60.

You get 30.

The other ten percent is for tax.

I'll take my cut, ma'am.

Even if it's little, it's still money.

I'm so rich I don't know what to spend on.

You're going to ask Jook to deliver the money to your husband again?

Being a man in this age is so good, Aunt.

He can sell his wife

- and get some money to spend. - I second that.

We're born women. We're always inferior.

Are you saying I'm lucky I don't have a husband?

I'm not saying those who have a husband are unlucky either.

So your husband is a good man, right?

I mean yours.

Come on.

Luang and Captain Jon

won't be like San, Nual's husband.

I won't wait until I get a husband, Aunt,

because I

am going back to where I belong.

Aunt, please find the Hoan for me.

Let me see.

I'm not exactly sure.

He's a wanderer.

And...

He's of average height.

He's of neutral skin color.

He has a mole on his chin.

Where can I find him?

Hey! Go find him wherever you want.

Don't stand in front of my booth.

Sorry.

Look, Aunt.

I'm looking for a fortuneteller.

They said

he's of average height and has a neutral skin color.

And he has a mole on his chin.

Do you know someone like that?

Are you looking for Master Mun?

Master Mun?

Yes, Master Mun.

It must be him. Yeah.

Master Mun?

He does charming spells, right?

That's right.

Dang heard Boonta was looking for him at the market.

Why would Boonta need a charmer?

I know

that you don't have feelings for me like our parents hoped.

You have feelings for Boonta.

But that could have been an effect of a charming spell.

My Luang looks glowing.

He eats and sleeps well.

He can't have been under a spell.

I heard those at Fang's say

Boonta has become a different person.

She could be using sorcery

and summon a spirit into herself

and seduce you into obsession.

He sure looks like him.

That's Boonta, sir.

I remember the sash you bought her.

He even bought her a sash.

What did we miss, Young Miss?

Hey.

I must have been mistaken, sir.

A sash in this color

is commonly worn.

But I

couldn't have been mistaken too.

If you haven't, where is Boonta then?

Place your bets!

San, today

you're lucky.

- All your bets are spot on. - I won!

It's three!

Place your bets. Come on.

I'll just follow San.

- That's fine. - Come on, come on!

I'll take all your bets.

I'm on a roll today!

Place your bets. Come on.

Bet!

San, pick your bet already.

Okay. I'm all in on three.

Trust me. I won three straight rounds.

Place your bets.

All in on three?

Fine. Three...

Bet on four, sir.

Today is the day of four.

Are you sure?

Three. Four can't beat my luck.

You all saw me win three straight rounds.

Four, please, sir.

I'm betting

on four.

Come on. Roll it.

I'm going to roll now.

Yeah! It's really four, girl!

- I told you it's four. - All mine!

It's all mine.

I'm rich now. I quit!

I'm not staying!

You're unlucky today, sirs.

You cur!

I helped you but you left me hanging.

Can't you help me out?

Oh, man.

What help do you need?

Tell me the day a solar eclipse happens, Hoan.

Why would you want to know about a solar eclipse?

To go home, sir.

Go home?

Your home

is in the times ahead.

It's not easy to return.

Do you know, sir,

that I came from the future?

So why have I come here?

Will I get to go back? When can I go back?

I only know the stars.

I don't know about other things.

No, I think you can help me, sir.

When I fell off a boat and teleported here,

there was a solar eclipse that day.

I want to know when the next solar eclipse is happening,

so I can go back.

- Are you listening, sir? - I am.

Next month.

- Next month? - Yeah.

A solar eclipse is going to happen?

Why would you want to know about a solar eclipse?

Luang?

Where is Chaai?

He's so quick.

He's probably confronting Boonta at the house.

That's good. He's going to come to his senses.

From now on, he'll only have me.

He would be with you but his heart is still elsewhere.

It's not going to stay that way, Young Miss.

If she can charm him, you can too.

Have you lost your mind? Why would I do that?

Luang?

Dokgaew.

Dokgaew.

Didn't you hear my question?

Are you going to use a charming spell?

I'm just thinking. I haven't done it. Is that illegal?

You like Chaai so much that you have to do such a thing?

You've never liked anyone.

No one has ever liked you.

You won't understand, sir.

A charming spell

would only cause temporary obsession.

That courtesan did it.

Why don't you confront her?

You mean Boonta?

So you're doing what a courtesan is doing?

A high-ranking official's daughter would stoop to a courtesan's level now?

You think you can bind Chaai with you forever?

Do you wish to live with sorcery and black magic for the rest of your life?

Don't waste your effort on that.

Just be a good woman.

That would be the better option.

I know two of your secrets now.

I hope there'll not be a third.

Young Miss, wait for me.

So you followed me because you thought I was using a charmer?

I'm not doing a charming spell.

I'm looking for a Hoan.

I believe you.

Someone like you won't be hiring a charmer

who scams people for a living.

So why

haven't you answered me?

Well...

Why would you want to know that?

Because I'm wondering what you're up to.

Ever since you fell into the water,

you haven't seemed like the Boonta I knew.

And now you seem to be interested in astrology.

What if I say I'm not the Boonta you know

and I'm someone else in her body?

Would you believe me?

Do you mean

you are a ghost possessing this body?

It's not like that.

I'm just a spirit or something.

A spirit is a ghost!

Nonsense.

Ever since I was born, I've never seen a ghost.

Just because you haven't seen one doesn't mean they don't exist.

I think you're upset with what happened

and lose your mind sometimes.

You do strange things without knowing.

So you didn't believe me.

Let's just say

I'm not the same old Boonta you used to know.

Because I'm

a "new" Boonta.

Come on! Help me out!

Luang, sir! The ruffians are fighting again.

- Stop! - Run!

San!

You went to a casino again, didn't you?

You know this guy?

I saw San in a casino.

And he was attacked by the guards.

Nual just sent him money.

Why would he waste it in the casino?

Is he in some kind of trouble?

Could it be

he wasn't saving up to free you like he said?

San is not that kind of man.

He loves me.

He promised to free me.

Come on, Nual!

How many years has he kept you waiting?

If he truly values you,

would he have sold you?

Nual.

All men are the same.

When he wants you, he can say sweet things.

Over time, when booze and gambling would possess him,

he becomes abusive.

Would you want your husband to beat you up like mine did me?

You can hate your own husband all you want.

How can I hate my husband too?

Nual's buying clothes!

This is highly unusual.

I bought these for the day my husband comes back.

Nual. You should get dressed.

Mother would scold you if she saw you like this.

Ming, is Nual in the kitchen?

- I haven't seen her, ma'am. - I looked all over and couldn't find her.

Did she sneak out to see her husband again?

Go to her husband's house.

If she snuck out again, I'm going to flog her back off!

Yes, ma'am.

Why did you stop? Continue rehearsing!

Buy chips first.

I'll buy some for you.

Tell me how much you need.

You can pay me back later.

I'm sorry, Lamjeak.

I have this.

This is enough. I don't want to be in debt.

I'm all in this round!

Take this...

San.

Nual?

Wait, Nual. Listen to me.

Should I listen to your excuse?

The money I gave you wasn't enough for your booze?

Is that why you came to the casino?

How many times have you lied to me about getting a job?

Is this your job?

Wait, Nual.

You know I'm sick.

I can't work much.

So you chose the easy life

and lived off of my prostitution?

Every night,

I waited,

hoping you would come,

yet you never came.

I keep shedding tears

sleeping with countless men.

Yet you're just enjoying yourself.

Nual.

- Let me go, San. - I'm doing this to keep my promise, Nual.

You broke that promise a long time ago.

Nual.

San, let go.

Let her go.

The woman doesn't want you.

Why would you persist?

You again?

What's this got to do with you?

I would want nothing to do with this if Nual wasn't my friend.

- Hey... - Let go!

Nual, Mother suspected you would be visiting San.

Ming went to his house to look for you.

I think you should go back before Ming finds you. Go.

Go.

Just go.

This is bad...

How many times have I told you not to visit your husband?

Yet you never listened!

Do you want me to kill you or what?

Ming.

Give her a round of flogging.

If she passes out, splash water on her and wake her up. Then flog her more.

Please don't.

(Your real job is)

(to protect the women here, not hurt them.)

What are you standing there for?

You want me to do it myself?

Give me.

Mother! Please don't!

We can just talk.

If you flog her, she'd die for nothing.

Mother, I beg you, please.

Don't hurt her like you did Lamduan.

If she is wounded, you won't get a high price out of her.

Let me go!

I'm going to flog her, so you have an example!

Aren't you too cruel?

You never sympathize with us as women.

Yet you claim to be our "Mother" who protects her children.

What kind of mother would hurt her child like an animal?

Are you still calling yourself a human?

- Don't... - Hey...

Boonta!

Boonta survived drowning twice.

Would she die of a flogging?

She's really brave for taking the flogging for Nual.

I didn't.

I tripped on Pudsorn's foot.

Pudsorn did it?

My foot just slipped.

You deserve to be kicked in the face!

Next time, my foot will slip on you.

Hey!

She was in my way.

If she dies,

you will be staying in Cham's room.

- Hey! - Come on! Bring it!

You can stop being jealous of her.

She doesn't serve a guest.

She can't take your spot anyway.

She doesn't seem to mean any harm either.

And she keeps helping out Ming and Nual.

Boil this medicine for her. It will relieve the fever.

Yes, sir.

Mother.

Mian.

Mother told me to untie you.

If you run away again,

your debt will be doubled.

Here.

Mother told the Chinese doctor to give you some medicine.

Drink this.

So you have the strength to run.

Nual.

If you don't have a husband,

you won't die.

But you will die

if you let him hurt you like this.

Boonta.

Nual.

I'm sorry, Boonta.

You got hurt because of me.

It's fine.

At least my back saved a beating.

I'm glad you're all right.

Boonta.

- Drink some medicine. - Okay.

- Are you alright? - Boonta.

Come on.

It didn't hurt this much on set. Why does the real thing hurt so much?

- Your medicine. - Thank you.

Drink it hot.

Boonta!

It's so bitter!

It's Chinese medicine.

Mother bought this from a Chinese doctor. This is expensive.

Do you know?

In this medicine,

there are skins and roots,

and flesh and dried leaves of many plants.

There are also bones and bugs

and a centipede's carcass.

I think the medicine will more likely kill me.

I can't drink it. Drink it if you can.

I'd rather die.

- Yeah. - Hey, it's...

Will I survive until the solar eclipse next month?

Boonta can't drink the medicine you gave her.

Do you have something easier to swallow?

- Of course. - Thanks.

What's wrong with Boonta?

- Aunt! - You're looking for trouble!

Why would you tell Luang this?

I feel sorry for her.

If she sees the man she loves, she'll get better.

Captain Jon's coming to take her soon.

Let her spend the time she has left with Luang.

If Mother finds out, we're all screwed.

Don't let her know then.

Five.

Me?

You lost. Do your job.

Wait, sir.

Won't this be a big deal?

If you hesitate, it's going to be.

You need to hurry, sir.

Ming can't stall Mother for long.

I won't be long. Wait here.

Yes, sir.

Luang?

How did you get here, sir?

Someone told me you were sick and wanted to see me.

Maybe you'd feel better.

Aunt Mian.

You're a police, not a doctor. How would that help?

Does it hurt badly?

Why won't you drink the medicine?

A potion from a centipede's carcass?

Who could possibly drink that?

Can you drink that?

If I drink it and you get healed,

I would have.

I don't want to see you hurting.

If during this age

we had great doctors, that would be nice.

We have doctors from the West now.

Doctor Bradley.

Could you ask Doctor Bradley to heal me?

Doctor Bradley?

Who is he?

He's a foreign doctor.

A European doctor.

I saw "Royal Doctor."

He must be at Kudi Chin.

I'll look for him.

Thank you, sir.

Who's out there?

Who's there?

I said who's there?

What the heck?

Pudsorn?

What are you doing with the ladder?

Well, it's Ming and his friends.

They used this to climb and get some betel.

They left it there. I went to the toilet.

I tripped on it.

I'm putting it away.

Is that true, Ming?

Yes, Mother.

I'll put it away right now.

That's Boonta's window.

Why is it open?

Doesn't she have a fever?

Mother!

What are you doing?

Why is Boonta covering herself like this?

Well...

Boonta is shaking with a fever.

She just drank some medicine and fell asleep.

You left the window open.

Her fever is going to get worse.

Mother.

We should leave her.

Let Boonta rest.

Please.

Stay like this until you're sure.

If you move again,

my wound is going to open all the way to Mars.

Boonta!

It's rude. Why would you sit beside the police?

Sorry, sir.

Is it morning already?

Luang?

Screw me!

Go back to sleep.

I'll bring the doctor to you.

Aunt...

Here's some Rangrai.

Thanks.

You're in such a good mood.

You made a lot of money with this round of sales, right?

Soon we will make profits like we used to.

Trading

will never be as certain

as being in charge of bird nest tax.

How did Dokgaew's negotiation with Luang Thukkarat go?

Dokgaew said

Chim, Luang Thukkarat, is hopeful with his bid.

The senior officials seem to favor him.

If we want to win,

it's not going to be easy.

They put up a front as honest businessmen.

Behind the back, they're using nepotism all the same.

Never mind.

We have time before the day of bidding.

Winds can change direction.

This hairpin,

whose is it, dear?

It belonged to one of my debtors.

She paid the debt with this.

I felt pity so I accepted it.

If you want it,

it's yours.

Find out

if this hairpin belongs to Boonta or not.

Yes, ma'am.

Doctor Bradley?

As far as I know,

we don't have a European doctor by the name of Bradley at Kudi Chin.

Is that so?

Why did Boonta say that then?

For what matter do you wish to see that doctor?

A patient can't drink Chinese medicine.

She would like a European medicine.

I have a medicine for fever.

Please wait here.

This is a European medicine for fever, sir.

How much is it?

It's free for you, sir.

Tubtim is our customer. She frequently buys jewelry from Mr. Hunter.

This medicine costs so little

compared to her patronage.

For you, sir.

Thank you, Sup.

And Mr. Hunter.

Chaai!

Where has work taken you?

Why did you come home so late?

I was a little sick,

so I stayed at Chao Phraya Yommarat's house.

And I went to buy medicine from Mr. Hunter this morning.

Chaai, what's wrong with you?

Are you seriously ill?

Is that why you require European medicine?

- Yod, how did you let your boss get sick? - Ouch, Mother!

It wasn't serious.

It's just a small fever.

I took some medicine. I'll get better soon.

I'll go and get changed.

Even if it wasn't serious,

you have to rest and recover.

I'll ask Puek to cover your work for now.

I'm fine, Mother.

I can still work.

I don't think you can.

- Yod. - Yes, sir.

You can't climb up today.

I'm just here to give Boonta her medicine.

Why does this smell like your soup?

Well, it's my soup.

You spend the whole night with Luang.

Maybe you could get knocked up.

It's not just that, Aunt. Before he left, I saw him kiss her too.

What about what I didn't see?

Boonta...

A kiss?

Did that really happen?

Aunt, I'm still hurt. What could we have done?

Why would I know?

The two of us just

fell asleep together. That's all.

Fine. Whatever you say. Just drink it.

And take the medicine Luang sent you.

- He got her medicine. - Of course.

What's this med?

What is this?

Aunt.

Is this a Dharma question?

It's like what I saw on a temple's mural.

Wait.

See, this picture.

Take the medicine.

This picture means you die.

- And then go to heaven. - Is that so, Aunt?

Luang can't be poisoning Boonta. Let me see.

I think it's "take this medicine,"

"sleep and get some rest," and "recover!"

- You shocked me, Aunt. - Boonta.

You can sit up now?

Yes.

I got a good medicine, Mother.

Thank you for paying for my medicine.

What's that smell?

It smells like Mian's soup.

My soup?

I boiled some medicine.

And put it in a bowl of soup.

So that's how it's got that smell.

If she's fine, you two can go back to work. Go.

Yes, ma'am.

Take this with you, Aunt.

Oh? Won't you drink it?

Hey, we didn't...

- Keep your medicine well. Aunt, come on. - What if she gets knocked up?

Hey, you.

Don't drag me around.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, wow! Aunt?

Did you win a lottery or something?

We're celebrating your recovery. I'm going all out.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

You're fine now.

Eat a lot.

Thank you.

This curry, I helped Aunt Mian cook it.

- Eat a lot. - It's good.

Thanks.

Look. I picked these vegetables myself.

Thank you.

- Sesbania flower. - Dip it in the chili stew.

Okay, Aunt.

Yeah. I boiled this neem myself. It's sweet.

- Really? - You girls seem happy with her recovery.

I had to get well soon, Mother. We have to make money.

Otherwise, we won't have money to pay our debt to you.

I'm glad you realize that now.

Yeah.

Don't let me see

any of you sneak out to see your husband again.

Men love you when they do.

When they don't, they throw you away.

If he's a jerk, he'd even sell you to a brothel.

Just work hard and free yourselves.

Yeah.

Free myself? I'm staying here.

Mother is not angry anymore.

Please don't upset her again.

Some things can be stopped.

But Nual's love for her husband?

That's not one of them.

If you can't stop,

you can love who you want.

Just don't forget to love yourself too.

Your heart matters too.

I don't know how you feel as a wife.

But as a fellow woman,

I want you to really think of yourself.

If you love someone, make sure you love yourself too.

She's right.

Eat up. These are for young girls.

San is the only person in my life.

Can I really let go of him?

If you can't, it's fine.

Just don't forget

you will always have us right here.

Boonta "Nail & Massage."

I'm going to start a manicure and massaging business.

If you just keep watching over her

without being honest with your feelings,

you could regret it again, Chaai.

Could you stay still for a moment?

I'll help you tie your hair.

You got extra money from last night's guest?

A bland-looking woman like you

will never get to be his regular.

Then let's find out once and for all.

I'm going to make an "event" where you compete for guests.

Why did you bring these things?

You need to pour like an escort girl.
