1
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:30,751
My name is Yamada Nagamasa.

2
00:03:30,835 --> 00:03:33,462
I am a soIdier
attached to the Japanese volunteer army.

3
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,006
Fate brought me here.

4
00:03:37,675 --> 00:03:42,012
I have a secret that can be shared
with no one.

5
00:03:43,473 --> 00:03:46,391
This dark secret must end
with my enemies.

6
00:03:53,650 --> 00:03:55,234
This series of events occurred
after King Naresuan

7
00:03:55,318 --> 00:03:56,777
waged the elephant war
against Hongsawadee.

8
00:03:57,987 --> 00:04:01,031
Though Ayothaya won the war,
peace was hard to come by...

9
00:04:11,751 --> 00:04:15,379
A group of mysterious men dressed
as soldiers of the Hongsawadee army

10
00:04:18,174 --> 00:04:22,511
robbed Siamese people,
causing much grief and sorrow.

11
00:04:33,189 --> 00:04:37,234
King Naresuan issued orders
to all village headmen

12
00:04:40,113 --> 00:04:41,947
and the voIunteer armies of various nations

13
00:04:42,031 --> 00:04:44,032
to find the assaiIants at aII costs.

14
00:04:59,799 --> 00:05:03,093
l have been assigned
by the Japanese volunteer army chief

15
00:05:04,637 --> 00:05:06,263
to find these cuIprits as weII.

16
00:06:17,668 --> 00:06:18,960
They are Japanese

17
00:06:19,837 --> 00:06:21,797
but dressed as Hongsawadee warriors.

18
00:06:22,590 --> 00:06:24,800
They raided the people of Ayothaya,

19
00:06:24,884 --> 00:06:27,469
causing hardship all around.

20
00:06:28,096 --> 00:06:31,932
No one else must know of this treachery.

21
00:06:32,683 --> 00:06:34,267
Bring me the culprit responsible for this

22
00:06:34,352 --> 00:06:37,729
and I will give him to the King of Ayothaya,

23
00:06:37,814 --> 00:06:39,731
so he can behead him.

24
00:06:40,942 --> 00:06:42,067
Yes, sir.

25
00:06:47,115 --> 00:06:49,699
Thank you all for coming

26
00:06:49,784 --> 00:06:52,661
You have come to the famous pIace
with the Sengen Shrine

27
00:06:52,745 --> 00:06:59,793
Come on up, come have a Iisten
to two or three Suruga stories

28
00:07:09,303 --> 00:07:12,013
Taira's Okubo TempIe dedicated to Kannon

29
00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:14,891
Large bush-clover trees, cut in eight

30
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:20,147
A beard of katsura trees
in an eight-bush clover temple

31
00:07:20,231 --> 00:07:23,150
lnside the temple, the all-knowing Kannon

32
00:07:23,234 --> 00:07:31,408
The assigned position of the temples
in the 33 Kannon Temple Pilgrimage

33
00:07:31,492 --> 00:07:34,244
The first, Nachisan

34
00:07:34,328 --> 00:07:36,872
The second, Kimiidera
Next, Kokawa

35
00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:39,749
The fourth, the fourth...

36
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:45,088
The most essential, Wada Temple
but Kannon who loves stories

37
00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:48,175
became absorbed while reading
and forgot to mention it

38
00:07:48,259 --> 00:07:56,349
Somehow, he forgot to get
the stamp of the amulet issuing temple

39
00:07:56,434 --> 00:08:00,687
Leaving it to others, he left it out
of the thread of the narrow path

40
00:08:00,771 --> 00:08:07,402
Finally arriving at the 33 Temple Pilgrimage
it was excluded, the eight cut into two

41
00:08:07,487 --> 00:08:13,033
Leaving it to others, he left it out
of the thread of the narrow path

42
00:08:13,117 --> 00:08:18,538
A daydreamer, he is called Kannon
who forgot it from the book

43
00:08:18,623 --> 00:08:24,669
So he didn't forget again
they made him carry a brush and notebook

44
00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:32,344
Keshi Temple in Shigoshiga Valley

45
00:08:32,428 --> 00:08:39,392
Surrounded by bushy trees, sitting squarely
is Geshi Hikoroku, the lord of Shiga

46
00:08:43,898 --> 00:08:46,274
Thank you all for coming

47
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:49,653
You have come to the famous pIace
with the Sengen Shrine

48
00:08:49,737 --> 00:08:54,741
Come on up, come have a Iisten
to two or three Suruga stories

49
00:08:57,411 --> 00:09:00,539
Leaving it to others, leaving it to others...

50
00:10:14,822 --> 00:10:16,156
You...

51
00:10:17,408 --> 00:10:20,327
I never wanted to kill my fellow Japanese.

52
00:12:22,074 --> 00:12:23,616
We don't know who this man is.

53
00:12:23,701 --> 00:12:27,078
After buying iron ingots,
we saw him being attacked

54
00:12:27,163 --> 00:12:31,124
so we helped him
and brought him back here.

55
00:12:31,208 --> 00:12:34,586
We rowed through the night
until noon the day after.

56
00:12:34,670 --> 00:12:36,838
He shouId have died from his wounds.

57
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:39,382
We never imagined that he was so tough.

58
00:12:39,467 --> 00:12:43,428
He is a foreigner. Can we trust him?

59
00:12:45,473 --> 00:12:48,892
I've heaIed wounded animaIs.

60
00:12:48,976 --> 00:12:50,602
This is a human being.

61
00:12:50,686 --> 00:12:53,146
How can I Ieave him to die?

62
00:13:52,081 --> 00:13:56,835
Now, Sasaki knows that
the attackers are Japanese.

63
00:13:56,919 --> 00:14:00,255
We have to stop everything
before it becomes a problem for us.

64
00:14:00,339 --> 00:14:02,048
You must bring Yamada to me.

65
00:14:04,009 --> 00:14:07,762
Wherever you find him, kill him at once,
and report to me immediately.

66
00:16:22,022 --> 00:16:24,315
Champa...

67
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,236
White face is awake.
He has come to his senses.

68
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:49,465
Water...

69
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:52,844
White face can speak our language.

70
00:17:06,567 --> 00:17:09,068
The complexion of your face is
as fair as a woman.

71
00:17:09,194 --> 00:17:11,154
The hair is long too, isn't it, Champa?

72
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,200
Krathin, help me bring some herbs
to put on the wound of White face.

73
00:17:16,285 --> 00:17:18,536
He became conscious
so I don't think he will die.

74
00:17:18,620 --> 00:17:20,371
Yes.

75
00:17:27,337 --> 00:17:30,006
Where is this place?

76
00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:32,759
The city of Phitsanuloke Song Kwae.

77
00:18:00,454 --> 00:18:03,873
The selection of the King's bodyguards
this time

78
00:18:03,957 --> 00:18:08,252
will be personally overseen
by King Naresuan himself.

79
00:18:11,423 --> 00:18:14,050
This man's name is Sua.

80
00:18:14,134 --> 00:18:17,470
He is King Naresuan's chief bodyguard.

81
00:18:17,554 --> 00:18:19,305
He is my student.

82
00:18:19,389 --> 00:18:22,642
I brought him to teach you
martial art techniques.

83
00:18:25,771 --> 00:18:30,525
He looks so young.
What will he be able to teach us?

84
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:19,407
All of you listen to me.

85
00:19:19,533 --> 00:19:24,579
Our homeland is now in trouble.

86
00:19:25,372 --> 00:19:30,877
The treacherous Hongsawadee
want our land.

87
00:19:31,003 --> 00:19:37,758
This is why all of you must unite as one.

88
00:19:37,843 --> 00:19:43,097
Don't just think or talk.

89
00:19:43,182 --> 00:19:45,641
All of you must act.

90
00:19:48,437 --> 00:19:52,940
Once we are born,
all of us have to die eventually.

91
00:19:53,025 --> 00:19:57,695
But the value of our death is different.

92
00:20:02,993 --> 00:20:06,829
Some bear the weight of a mountain,

93
00:20:06,914 --> 00:20:09,707
while some are as light as a feather.

94
00:20:11,919 --> 00:20:15,713
All of you should think.

95
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:25,014
Did you find Yamada?

96
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:31,103
No, sir. I believe he is already dead.

97
00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:33,105
Three Japanese were killed.

98
00:20:34,858 --> 00:20:36,943
He was probably silenced.

99
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:42,740
Kuroda, you must search all of Ayothaya
to find the mastermind responsible.

100
00:20:44,076 --> 00:20:45,117
Yes, sir.

101
00:21:14,356 --> 00:21:15,815
Where is my sword?

102
00:21:25,325 --> 00:21:29,161
We refer to the eclipse
as the celestial dog swallowing the moon.

103
00:21:29,246 --> 00:21:31,122
There's nothing for you to worry about.

104
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:36,711
Have you regained your strength already?

105
00:21:39,131 --> 00:21:42,466
While you are here
you don't need the sword.

106
00:21:42,551 --> 00:21:47,596
The people of Ayothaya live in peace.
Everyone is friendly.

107
00:21:49,474 --> 00:21:53,227
I don't know who your enemies are,

108
00:21:55,188 --> 00:22:00,651
but all I know is that if you stay here,
all you will have are friends.

109
00:22:44,654 --> 00:22:47,531
Who is sneaking around over there?

110
00:22:58,794 --> 00:23:00,669
It's just you.

111
00:23:00,754 --> 00:23:02,463
What do you want from me?

112
00:23:04,049 --> 00:23:07,968
I have come to thank you
for healing my wound

113
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:10,971
even though l am a foreigner.

114
00:23:11,056 --> 00:23:13,307
It is not important.

115
00:23:13,392 --> 00:23:18,771
Right now the people of Ayothaya
don't care about anything else

116
00:23:18,855 --> 00:23:22,775
but about our country
and King Naresuan.

117
00:23:22,859 --> 00:23:26,904
How to protect him...
If we don't have King Naresuan

118
00:23:26,988 --> 00:23:31,951
then Ayothaya will not exist.

119
00:23:32,786 --> 00:23:35,663
Do you understand?

120
00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:08,946
Why did you come here, Japanese?

121
00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:11,282
Kham?

122
00:24:11,366 --> 00:24:13,325
It's me. What's up?

123
00:24:18,957 --> 00:24:22,460
I thank all of you for saving my life.

124
00:24:23,295 --> 00:24:25,796
Never mind. You are not Hongsa,

125
00:24:25,881 --> 00:24:28,382
the sworn enemy of Ayothaya.

126
00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:30,426
The Japanese are King Naresuan's allies

127
00:24:30,510 --> 00:24:33,846
who are ready to die for Ayothaya
and King Naresuan.

128
00:24:33,930 --> 00:24:36,182
So, I consider you my friend.

129
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:40,644
Friend.

130
00:24:45,734 --> 00:24:50,988
Each sword that I make must taste
the blood of the damned Hongsawadee.

131
00:24:59,664 --> 00:25:03,083
Staying here,

132
00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:09,673
amongst strangers close to me
makes me feel

133
00:25:09,758 --> 00:25:14,637
even more comfortabIe than with
my own relatives who are far away.

134
00:25:18,099 --> 00:25:21,018
They offer love and kindness to me,
a foreigner,

135
00:25:21,102 --> 00:25:23,229
As if our bIood is of the same coIour.

136
00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:28,275
This friendship given to me is like water

137
00:25:29,361 --> 00:25:31,362
that nurtures the heart and the body.

138
00:25:35,742 --> 00:25:41,747
lt gives me the courage
to overcome any obstacle.

139
00:25:42,207 --> 00:25:46,460
l don't feel like l am alone any more.

140
00:25:51,341 --> 00:25:54,885
l never imagined that friendship

141
00:25:55,762 --> 00:26:01,267
would grow into something much bigger.

142
00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:52,169
Why are the Japanese
trying to kill each other?

143
00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:32,501
His identity is not as important

144
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,465
as to whether he is a good person or not.

145
00:28:38,550 --> 00:28:42,219
I am worried that the Japanese will bring
his enemies to our homeland.

146
00:28:42,303 --> 00:28:45,389
Since the incident
he hasn't spoken a single word.

147
00:28:46,641 --> 00:28:50,894
I don't want to interfere
with his personal business.

148
00:28:50,979 --> 00:28:54,857
If he wants to tell us he will talk.

149
00:28:54,941 --> 00:28:59,528
And you don't need to ask him.

150
00:28:59,612 --> 00:29:04,533
Sometimes people need to keep secrets

151
00:29:04,617 --> 00:29:08,454
because once revealed,
it could lead to trouble.

152
00:29:08,538 --> 00:29:11,957
If it was you, would you talk?

153
00:29:12,041 --> 00:29:16,336
So why do his fellow Japanese
want him dead?

154
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:21,842
The Japanese killed each other...
What does it have to do with you?

155
00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:29,600
Don't complicate things
since no trouble has come to us.

156
00:29:29,684 --> 00:29:33,937
I am sure he is not a bad guy.

157
00:29:36,191 --> 00:29:39,610
What you should be worried about is

158
00:29:39,694 --> 00:29:44,907
the selection of the King's chief bodyguards.

159
00:30:00,757 --> 00:30:03,550
Champa, you need not worry.

160
00:30:05,678 --> 00:30:08,305
Will you help him, brother?

161
00:30:09,974 --> 00:30:14,061
He will be all right. Phra Khru will help him.

162
00:30:50,306 --> 00:30:52,224
Do you want us to deal with him?

163
00:30:52,308 --> 00:30:53,976
No.

164
00:30:56,229 --> 00:30:58,981
Yamada is not a native of Ayothaya.

165
00:30:59,065 --> 00:31:02,442
He can't stay there for long.

166
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:03,569
He will come back one day.

167
00:31:03,653 --> 00:31:06,780
And that day will be the day he dies!

168
00:31:11,202 --> 00:31:14,413
It is a secret that must die with me.

169
00:31:16,875 --> 00:31:20,586
l will not allow anyone to tarnish
the reputation of the Japanese peopIe

170
00:31:22,005 --> 00:31:27,217
by accusing us of treason against Ayothaya.

171
00:32:32,659 --> 00:32:39,915
Painful memories are like a sharp blade
that can hurt us.

172
00:32:47,215 --> 00:32:51,385
Since you don't want to talk about it
you don't have to.

173
00:32:59,769 --> 00:33:03,939
At the time I decided
to leave my birthplace of Suruga,

174
00:33:05,358 --> 00:33:09,277
Japan was a country in chaos
as warlords fought for power.

175
00:33:11,698 --> 00:33:14,866
No matter who came to power,
those defeated would be killed.

176
00:33:17,078 --> 00:33:20,455
I am just a soldier of a lord
who lost his power.

177
00:33:22,458 --> 00:33:25,043
l have no relatives
which is why l thought about

178
00:33:27,088 --> 00:33:34,302
finding a new life
and decided to come to Ayothaya.

179
00:33:35,888 --> 00:33:41,935
We are volunteer mercenaries in the army
of King Naresuan.

180
00:33:44,105 --> 00:33:47,983
A soldier is born to fight
no matter where he is.

181
00:33:50,987 --> 00:33:55,157
Power struggles exist everywhere,

182
00:33:56,784 --> 00:33:59,536
but it's a good thing
that Japan has never been

183
00:33:59,620 --> 00:34:02,122
conquered by a foreign power.

184
00:34:05,293 --> 00:34:07,753
It is different here in Ayothaya

185
00:34:08,087 --> 00:34:11,465
because we are constantly attacked
by the armies of Hongsawadee.

186
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:19,473
Becoming a vassal state of your enemy
is not only physically painful,

187
00:34:23,019 --> 00:34:26,229
but your honour is also compromised.

188
00:34:28,274 --> 00:34:30,067
You wouldn't understand.

189
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:37,217
So, is this your Japanese martial art?

190
00:36:08,916 --> 00:36:14,212
Can your Japanese martial art compete
against that of Ayothaya, White face?

191
00:37:23,950 --> 00:37:28,870
I am sorry, Champa.
I didn't think it would turn out like this.

192
00:37:35,753 --> 00:37:38,838
White face, don't fight with Master Sua.

193
00:37:42,593 --> 00:37:43,885
You cannot beat him.

194
00:38:24,844 --> 00:38:27,846
There is only one person
who can beat Master Sua.

195
00:38:40,067 --> 00:38:41,484
What do you want?

196
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:47,449
I want to be your student.
Please teach me Thai boxing.

197
00:38:48,909 --> 00:38:54,247
Your martial art technique is pretty good.
You don't need to learn from me.

198
00:38:55,124 --> 00:38:58,293
Learning from an experienced teacher

199
00:38:58,377 --> 00:39:01,463
for a single day is far better
than practising by oneself.

200
00:39:01,547 --> 00:39:05,884
And why do I have to teach you?

201
00:39:05,968 --> 00:39:10,513
Ayothaya's boxing is our national treasure.

202
00:39:10,598 --> 00:39:14,726
lt doesn't belong to foreigners.

203
00:39:14,810 --> 00:39:20,857
And more importantly your blood
is not the same colour as mine.

204
00:39:20,941 --> 00:39:25,236
My blood is Ayothaya blood,
yours is Japanese.

205
00:39:25,321 --> 00:39:29,991
Yes. But now I live in Ayothaya

206
00:39:30,117 --> 00:39:35,205
and when I die,
the soil of Ayothaya will cover my face.

207
00:39:35,289 --> 00:39:40,210
It is not my birthplace
but where my soul will rest.

208
00:39:41,545 --> 00:39:43,963
Who taught you to talk like this?

209
00:39:45,883 --> 00:39:48,968
All the people of Ayothaya here taught me...

210
00:39:49,595 --> 00:39:50,637
Taught you what?

211
00:39:50,721 --> 00:39:54,891
They taught me the difference
between an honourable death

212
00:39:54,975 --> 00:39:57,102
and one that is not.

213
00:39:57,186 --> 00:40:00,188
lf one dies for the country
and King Naresuan,

214
00:40:01,107 --> 00:40:05,110
no matter how many lifetimes one is born,
it is still worth giving up one's life.

215
00:40:13,661 --> 00:40:18,373
At this moment, my heart is Ayothaya.

216
00:40:39,728 --> 00:40:44,315
ln Ayothaya, if someone wants
to learn any art or discipline,

217
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,235
they will need a teacher.

218
00:40:47,987 --> 00:40:52,282
From now on, you have a teacher.

219
00:40:52,783 --> 00:40:59,330
You must be virtuous and never use
Ayothaya's martial arts to bully others,

220
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,043
but only use it for protecting
the country and yourself.

221
00:41:33,407 --> 00:41:38,453
You cannot fight with others
if you are not at peace inside.

222
00:41:38,537 --> 00:41:43,082
lt is like a swordsman who only depends
on the sharpness of his blade.

223
00:41:43,167 --> 00:41:47,212
In the end, he wiII never understand
the way of the sword.

224
00:42:58,701 --> 00:43:02,829
Ayothaya's boxing is an intelligent
form of martial arts

225
00:43:02,913 --> 00:43:06,374
handed down from generation to generation
since the Sukhothai era.

226
00:43:06,458 --> 00:43:12,755
It is the art of attack and defence.
We use eight weapons,

227
00:43:13,632 --> 00:43:15,133
two hands,

228
00:43:16,844 --> 00:43:17,969
two feet,

229
00:43:21,890 --> 00:43:22,932
two knees,

230
00:43:25,978 --> 00:43:27,228
and two eIbows,

231
00:43:30,232 --> 00:43:33,067
in battle for hundreds of years.

232
00:43:33,152 --> 00:43:39,616
It is a martiaI art which has
beautiful movements

233
00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:43,911
with hidden strengths and aggressiveness.

234
00:43:43,996 --> 00:43:49,292
Meanwhile your Japanese martial arts
are smooth,

235
00:43:49,376 --> 00:43:51,002
fluid and peacefuI.

236
00:43:51,086 --> 00:43:53,713
You watch your opponent

237
00:43:53,797 --> 00:44:00,053
and use his strength to take him down

238
00:44:00,137 --> 00:44:06,601
by throwing him, pinning him down,
grappling rapidly

239
00:44:06,685 --> 00:44:10,355
and forcefully.

240
00:44:10,439 --> 00:44:16,027
lf you are able to combine
the best of both martial arts,

241
00:44:16,111 --> 00:44:20,073
then nobody will be able to beat you.

242
00:44:50,646 --> 00:44:53,231
Your boxing technique is much better,
Japanese.

243
00:45:17,089 --> 00:45:22,844
I taught him myself because I saw he had
the determination to learn.

244
00:45:22,928 --> 00:45:27,473
He can be useful to our country
in the future.

245
00:45:29,643 --> 00:45:36,524
Sua, are you angry that I taught
Thai boxing to a foreigner?

246
00:45:37,776 --> 00:45:42,572
No, sir, you must have
thought it out already.

247
00:45:42,656 --> 00:45:46,159
And I am thinking of entering him
in the selection trials

248
00:45:46,243 --> 00:45:47,660
for the King's bodyguards.

249
00:45:48,495 --> 00:45:52,206
But he is a foreigner.
Can he actually do it?

250
00:45:59,882 --> 00:46:03,009
Luang, listen to me.

251
00:46:03,093 --> 00:46:06,137
Love for one's country
doesn't necessarily belong

252
00:46:06,221 --> 00:46:10,183
to only those
who were born on the same land.

253
00:46:10,267 --> 00:46:15,021
Love for one's country
can be born in the heart of anyone

254
00:46:15,939 --> 00:46:19,484
who wishes that the soil of the country
covers his face when he dies.

255
00:46:21,403 --> 00:46:23,696
You three, believe me...

256
00:46:26,158 --> 00:46:28,576
This Japanese will become

257
00:46:28,660 --> 00:46:34,248
an important force of Ayothaya.

258
00:46:56,647 --> 00:46:58,356
I give this to you.

259
00:47:10,994 --> 00:47:14,872
It's your sword.
You hammered it so it must be yours.

260
00:47:14,957 --> 00:47:17,041
I have my own sword.

261
00:47:17,125 --> 00:47:18,334
Where is it?

262
00:47:30,597 --> 00:47:32,640
Does it belong to the Japanese?

263
00:47:32,724 --> 00:47:33,724
Yes.

264
00:47:33,809 --> 00:47:36,769
Is it as sharp as our swords?

265
00:47:37,980 --> 00:47:40,690
Muen, you don't know anything.

266
00:47:43,318 --> 00:47:46,571
Japanese swords are famous
for being extremely sharp,

267
00:47:46,655 --> 00:47:50,116
sharp and thin but strong.

268
00:47:53,245 --> 00:47:59,667
Just like the Ayothaya people
who appear to be peaceful and weak,

269
00:47:59,751 --> 00:48:02,545
but will never give in to any enemy.

270
00:48:46,131 --> 00:48:48,674
Use it to kill your enemies.

271
00:48:49,468 --> 00:48:51,344
Your sword is a masterpiece, Japanese.

272
00:48:52,638 --> 00:48:54,388
The blade is Japanese

273
00:48:55,140 --> 00:48:56,599
but the handle is Ayothaya,

274
00:48:58,685 --> 00:49:00,811
just like you and me.

275
00:49:04,274 --> 00:49:09,111
Some Japanese swords
take a lifetime to make.

276
00:49:09,196 --> 00:49:12,865
lt is so thin and sharp
that you can cut the head of

277
00:49:12,950 --> 00:49:15,701
your enemy without him feeling the pain...

278
00:49:15,786 --> 00:49:20,831
The heart of a samurai
is as strong as a rock,

279
00:49:20,916 --> 00:49:23,876
but must be as sharp
as the end of the sword.

280
00:50:09,297 --> 00:50:11,549
You made me reaIise that

281
00:50:12,592 --> 00:50:14,135
a friend in need

282
00:50:16,096 --> 00:50:20,558
is a true friend indeed.

283
00:50:26,148 --> 00:50:27,940
This memory will remain

284
00:50:29,484 --> 00:50:33,654
with me until the day l die.

285
00:50:47,127 --> 00:50:52,548
The loyalty shown by the people of Ayothaya to their
country and King Naresuan

286
00:50:54,342 --> 00:50:57,428
is so great

287
00:51:01,266 --> 00:51:06,520
that l feel honoured to be living on this land.

288
00:51:33,757 --> 00:51:35,883
What is Tanai Luek?

289
00:51:39,221 --> 00:51:45,392
A Tanai Luek is one
of the King's personal bodyguards.

290
00:51:46,311 --> 00:51:50,981
He is at His Majesty's side at all times
without bearing arms.

291
00:51:51,691 --> 00:51:58,823
Hence, a Tanai Luek must be
extremely skilled with his bare hands...

292
00:52:11,586 --> 00:52:14,296
...and skilled in the discipline of boxing.

293
00:52:47,289 --> 00:52:50,666
We must select fighters of Ayothaya

294
00:52:50,750 --> 00:52:53,836
who are loyal to their country

295
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,965
and are prepared to die for their king.

296
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:17,651
Every drop of ink tattooed into your blood

297
00:53:17,736 --> 00:53:20,779
represents the sacred aIphabet of
Buddhist vaIues.

298
00:53:20,864 --> 00:53:25,659
l am not just piercing your skin
with a metal rod.

299
00:53:25,744 --> 00:53:31,749
Each sacred letter will remind you
to do only good deeds.

300
00:53:31,833 --> 00:53:37,796
Remember that the only eternal thing
in life is being virtuous,

301
00:53:37,881 --> 00:53:46,180
so when you die, your name
and your good deeds will not die with you.

302
00:53:46,264 --> 00:53:50,351
So that is eternaI

303
00:53:51,811 --> 00:53:58,359
and from now onwards
the blood that flows in you is Ayothaya's.

304
00:56:58,415 --> 00:56:59,998
You are not from Ayothaya.

305
00:57:06,339 --> 00:57:11,176
Even though you weren't born in Ayothaya,

306
00:57:11,928 --> 00:57:14,805
I ask that your spirit belongs to Ayothaya.

307
00:57:16,057 --> 00:57:21,687
From now on
you are my personal bodyguard.

308
00:57:23,314 --> 00:57:25,649
The heart of a fighter

309
00:57:25,733 --> 00:57:28,610
has to be ready to die at any given moment.

310
00:57:29,487 --> 00:57:36,118
Dare to die if your death is for a good deed
and for your country.

311
00:57:48,465 --> 00:57:50,966
What brought you here, Sua Pa Maew Sao?

312
00:57:51,509 --> 00:57:55,804
King Nandhabureng of Hongsawadee
has sent 200 warriors from various tribes

313
00:57:55,889 --> 00:57:57,014
to assassinate Your Majesty.

314
00:57:57,098 --> 00:58:00,767
They have already set foot
over the Mae La Mao border.

315
00:58:04,022 --> 00:58:10,986
I lost my son during the battle
with King Naresuan.

316
00:58:12,697 --> 00:58:16,116
And he dares to mount
an attack on Hongsa.

317
00:58:17,076 --> 00:58:21,246
lf l cannot bring an end to his life
to appease the spirit of my son,

318
00:58:21,331 --> 00:58:26,418
I won't be able rest in peace.

319
00:58:27,295 --> 00:58:34,551
Those of you tribesmen
who are able to bring me his head,

320
00:58:36,679 --> 00:58:41,225
will enjoy the rewards

321
00:58:41,309 --> 00:58:48,524
and riches for the rest of your life.

322
00:58:49,817 --> 00:58:51,485
Yes, Your Majesty.

323
00:58:58,785 --> 00:59:01,245
Your Majesty,

324
00:59:01,329 --> 00:59:07,209
I think they will try to attack you at a stream
near the Phitsanuloke Song Kwae,

325
00:59:07,335 --> 00:59:09,795
along the route to return to Ayothaya.

326
00:59:13,883 --> 00:59:15,342
Good!

327
00:59:17,845 --> 00:59:20,097
I will meet his challenge.

328
00:59:20,181 --> 00:59:22,432
Be patient, Your Majesty.

329
00:59:22,517 --> 00:59:27,396
Two hundred hongsa warriors
are not the obstacle.

330
00:59:28,648 --> 00:59:35,821
A high, powerful mountain is still lower
than the grass that grows on its top.

331
00:59:35,905 --> 00:59:39,825
Ten bodyguards might be able
to use war strategies to our advantage

332
00:59:39,909 --> 00:59:46,164
and cause damage to Hongsa City,
Your Majesty.

333
00:59:49,460 --> 00:59:55,257
Sua, take 10 bodyguards to meet
the 200 Hongsa soldiers.

334
00:59:57,343 --> 00:59:59,219
Yes, Your Majesty.

335
01:00:01,389 --> 01:00:04,641
Use only one to deal with 10,000 others.

336
01:00:04,726 --> 01:00:07,769
If your heart is superior
to that of the normal man,

337
01:00:07,854 --> 01:00:12,983
then victory is in sight. Remember...

338
01:00:16,362 --> 01:00:24,494
In two nights they will come back
and be by your side forever.

339
01:00:25,622 --> 01:00:28,206
I will wait for two nights

340
01:00:28,291 --> 01:00:33,295
and if you do not return,
I will go to help you.

341
01:00:35,298 --> 01:00:41,261
Your Majesty, we are ready, blood and soul,
to protect you and Ayothaya.

342
01:00:57,111 --> 01:01:02,366
Your sword will taste the blood
of the enemies of Ayothaya

343
01:01:02,450 --> 01:01:04,743
just like you wished.

344
01:07:01,642 --> 01:07:04,728
Because Ayothaya has brave men
like all of you,

345
01:07:06,063 --> 01:07:10,692
we need not be afraid of any enemy.

346
01:07:13,029 --> 01:07:18,324
Pick up a piece of soil
from in front of you...

347
01:07:25,249 --> 01:07:27,792
...and keep it with you.

348
01:07:35,509 --> 01:07:39,137
When you are in combat,
it will remind you that

349
01:07:40,723 --> 01:07:48,021
this piece of soil is like your place of birth
and death,

350
01:07:50,066 --> 01:07:56,654
a burial site handed down
from your ancestors,

351
01:07:58,282 --> 01:08:00,825
that you must protect

352
01:08:00,910 --> 01:08:03,286
for the sake of your children in the future.

353
01:08:07,333 --> 01:08:14,047
I thank you for your love for me
and my country.

354
01:08:27,269 --> 01:08:33,691
l feel like we are brothers
who share the same bIood.

355
01:08:34,318 --> 01:08:37,320
In front of the Buddha image
and the sacred spirits here,

356
01:08:37,404 --> 01:08:40,156
you and I will swear

357
01:08:40,241 --> 01:08:45,495
to be brothers and never betray
one another. We will die for each other

358
01:08:45,579 --> 01:08:49,165
like this sword which has a Japanese blade

359
01:08:49,250 --> 01:08:52,377
and an Ayothaya handle.
They are inseparable.

360
01:08:52,461 --> 01:08:58,174
I will kill your enemies
and you will kill the enemies of Ayothaya.

361
01:08:58,259 --> 01:09:02,679
Let the sky and the earth be our witness...
Will you swear to this?

362
01:09:02,763 --> 01:09:04,055
I swear.

363
01:09:48,893 --> 01:09:51,102
That giant's name is Tosakan.

364
01:09:52,271 --> 01:09:55,356
The green face is Rama

365
01:09:55,441 --> 01:09:58,443
and that monkey is Hanuman.

366
01:09:58,527 --> 01:10:01,446
It is a battle between the giants
and monkeys.

367
01:10:01,530 --> 01:10:03,656
Do you understand, White face?

368
01:10:45,324 --> 01:10:46,991
What are you worried about?

369
01:10:53,999 --> 01:11:01,256
When I am here,
I feel only happiness and peace.

370
01:11:04,843 --> 01:11:08,513
Only the people of Ayothaya treat me
like one of their own.

371
01:11:16,021 --> 01:11:18,064
I was never afraid before...

372
01:11:21,694 --> 01:11:26,281
...but now I am scared.

373
01:11:32,204 --> 01:11:33,788
What are you afraid of?

374
01:11:38,585 --> 01:11:40,420
I am afraid of leaving you.

375
01:11:52,891 --> 01:11:55,935
In Japan, we have a legend of Hagoromo.

376
01:11:57,730 --> 01:12:02,859
The Hakuryu, a fisherman,
fell in love with an angel

377
01:12:02,943 --> 01:12:05,361
who came to visit the earth.

378
01:12:08,991 --> 01:12:14,078
Hakuryu stole Hagoromo's wings

379
01:12:16,081 --> 01:12:18,958
so that she couldn't return to heaven.

380
01:12:21,670 --> 01:12:25,048
No matter how he loved her,

381
01:12:26,300 --> 01:12:30,553
he still had to return her wings

382
01:12:31,430 --> 01:12:37,852
and both of them parted ways in the end.

383
01:12:44,151 --> 01:12:48,404
It is necessary for me to return
to the Japanese village.

384
01:12:49,073 --> 01:12:50,948
What awaits you there?

385
01:13:43,168 --> 01:13:45,002
Teru teru bozu.

386
01:13:48,382 --> 01:13:49,465
What is it?

387
01:13:50,551 --> 01:13:54,971
It's a doll used to bring good weather
like you, Krathin.

388
01:14:00,352 --> 01:14:04,355
White face, don't go, please don't go.

389
01:15:24,311 --> 01:15:26,687
What are you doing, Krathin?

390
01:16:33,672 --> 01:16:38,009
Today if you die
your evil deeds will stay with me,

391
01:16:39,511 --> 01:16:43,472
but if I die, the secret dies with me.

392
01:16:45,726 --> 01:16:50,896
If your hands never spilt blood, you would
never be able to achieve greatness.

393
01:18:12,354 --> 01:18:14,105
You!

394
01:22:20,977 --> 01:22:22,061
Kham.

395
01:22:35,742 --> 01:22:40,079
Love King Naresuan, love Ayothaya...

396
01:22:42,248 --> 01:22:44,333
Promise me.

397
01:22:59,182 --> 01:23:21,620
Kham...

398
01:23:28,003 --> 01:23:41,765
Kham!

399
01:24:35,278 --> 01:24:40,282
May your spirit rest in peace.

400
01:24:41,951 --> 01:24:47,664
Your courage will remain in the hearts
of the people of Ayothaya forever.

401
01:24:50,627 --> 01:24:56,590
Your death is only one but it gives rise
to thousands of brave souIs.

402
01:24:58,093 --> 01:25:01,261
Your spirit should be proud.

403
01:25:12,315 --> 01:25:16,443
My dear friend, l will use your sword

404
01:25:17,821 --> 01:25:22,825
to kill the enemies of Ayothaya
as you intended.

405
01:25:42,470 --> 01:25:46,974
This piece of King Naresuan's soil
will always remind me that

406
01:25:48,935 --> 01:25:51,728
this is the birth and death place
of a true friend.

407
01:25:54,983 --> 01:25:58,944
Brave men do not yearn for a long life.

408
01:26:02,448 --> 01:26:04,533
l promise that

409
01:26:04,617 --> 01:26:08,829
l will protect this land with my life.

410
01:26:17,422 --> 01:26:24,553
I aImost died from the hands
of my fellow countrymen.

411
01:26:26,347 --> 01:26:30,392
Then so be it, but destiny brought me here
to this great friend

412
01:26:31,436 --> 01:26:35,856
where even high mountains, wide seas

413
01:26:35,940 --> 01:26:39,484
and disconnected Iand
cannot stop our friendship.

414
01:26:41,696 --> 01:26:45,032
This made me reaIise

415
01:26:46,284 --> 01:26:51,246
that those with different bIood
can stiII be friends.

416
01:26:53,875 --> 01:26:57,794
True friendship is based on equality
and it will never fade away.

417
01:27:00,048 --> 01:27:04,343
The people of Ayothaya and the Japanese

418
01:27:04,427 --> 01:27:10,349
wiII be united as one forever.

419
01:27:12,185 --> 01:27:16,480
l will repay the friendship
of the Ayothaya people.

420
01:27:17,565 --> 01:27:23,695
l swear that this land is not my birthplace
but where my soul will rest.
