I hope you think it over…
PREVIOUSLY
…and see if you can give me a chance.
I've never stopped loving you.
What is it?
Pong's taking me to the temple fair.
Make sure he takes care of you.
-If anything goes wrong… -Hey!
…he'll be the first one I blame.
-Asshole! -Hey.
Hey!
What is that?
Thanks to all of you for letting me have some fun.
You won't get away with this.
Everyone is safe now.
Only Pong is seriously wounded,
but he's not in danger.
Thanks a lot.
Remain on the lookout.
Yes, Master.
I knew you liked this song,
so I brought you a new tape.
I hope to be the person in this song
who comforts you when you're sad
and stands by you when you're happy.
Please give me a chance.
Thank you, Uncle.
Master.
Master, please help Pong.
I already know.
Take him upstairs.
Come on. Let's go.
Hurry.
You came to me for help
and are staying under my roof.
That makes you mine now.
I've helped you so many times,
not for someone to hurt you like this.
Master…
Search your heart and tell me who
Who can love you more than I do?
I'm sorry.
I…
I can't.
Tell me what's true
Your eyes speak clearly, you're just sorry
Love who you will, no need to worry
Even if it hurts, my heart won't flee
For it's you, I can bear the pain endlessly
I…
I understand.
Khem…
It's okay, Master.
Let's just…
forget what happened.
PHRA NAKHON, 1947
It's a letter from the diplomat.
Now that the war is over,
she wanted to help me,
so she wrote a letter to support me in pursuing my studies in the U.S.
So you're leaving me too.
What about me?
You're coming with me.
Let's leave this life here
and be together over there.
We'll be free,
and no one will judge us the way they do here.
Come with me.
I will.
From now on,
let's spend our lives together.
Da!
-We're not-- -"We're not at home."
It's okay, Jin.
We'll be leaving this place soon.
Grandma!
-Morning. -Good morning.
-Hi. -Good morning.
Whoa,
you're all here?
Why is everyone here?
We're here to visit you.
Uncle Chai said you've been feeling unwell
and went to see a doctor.
My days are numbered,
and the doctor's telling me to cut down on sugar.
Just listen to the doctor.
You're no spring chicken.
What?
I listen to the doctor.
I wouldn't be feeding everyone this if not.
Eat up, boys.
It's good.
I made these myself.
Why are you so hungry, Jet?
I don't know.
I went bit overboard last night.
Do they have this in Bangkok, Khem?
Not freshly steamed ones.
These are amazing.
Do you want my recipe?
So that you can make this for…
Master.
My recipe is amazing.
He likes my desserts.
And his favorite dessert when he was young…
Hey, Grandma.
Take it easy.
You're out of breath.
Have some water, Grandma.
I'm better now.
Grandma.
You're still taking wan phra taba, right?
From what I've read, it contains high levels of mercury.
How about taking a break from it for now?
It might be causing your sickness.
I'm only taking a little bit.
I doubt that's it.
I appreciate your concern though.
Just listen to Khem, Grandma.
I'm worried.
Why would you be?
Don't waste your time on someone this old.
What do you mean?
You're all I have left, Grandma.
Live a long life and stay with me.
I'm old now.
I don't know how many years I have left.
I've lived more than enough.
You, on the other hand,
should take care of yourself
and find someone to look after you.
That's nonsense, Grandma.
It is not.
You're a shaman, not a monk.
Even Grand Master Sek
had a family.
If you find someone,
you won't be doing anything wrong.
All done.
We've done all the dishes
and put the water in the fridge.
We should go now, Grandma.
Good luck.
Good luck. May you be blessed.
Master,
if you lose him,
you'll regret it.
Wait up, Jet.
Khem.
What happened last night…
Well…
I…
Oh, Prim?
Hello.
Master,
Prim's here.
There you go.
The punk-ass got punked, huh?
Hey, go easy on me.
It's still sore.
Stop training for now.
Postpone the next match too.
Thank you for saving me.
Come on.
Let's go home.
I have something to talk to Master about.
Jet,
go make Pong some pennywort juice.
I can do it.
Jet, Charn, you can go tidy up the room.
Right. Okay.
Do you wanna come with me, Pong?
Sure.
You should change the sheets too.
I was sweating a lot last night.
Sorry.
All right.
We should hurry.
Got to change our sheets too.
Let's go.
Come on. Hurry up.
You're still into vintage stuff.
Can you give me an answer, Paran?
Call me Master like you used to,
Prim.
I get it.
Maybe I'm not enough for you.
It's not like that.
You're perfect, Prim.
It's my fault.
My feelings are for someone else now.
I'm sorry
I didn't tell you sooner.
But I needed some time too.
I never meant to lie to you
or to give you false hope.
You must be really mad at me
-that I kept you-- -I am.
How can I be angry?
But it's true that I'm disappointed.
It's not funny, Prim.
I'm sorry.
I was probably shocked
to hear your honest answer
that you have feelings for someone.
I just didn't know how to react.
It's too old.
It probably doesn't work.
Search your heart and tell me who
I wonder…
who stole your heart.
Why keep your secrets? Give me a clue
We're not strangers, tell me what's true
Your eyes speak clearly, you're just sorry
Love who you will, no need to worry
Even if it hurts, my heart won't flee
For it's you, I can bear the pain endlessly
Please, please save your tears
If your love's for him, just erase me here
Don't let guilt make you fearful
Khem,
with that much pressure,
it will be powder.
I'm sorry.
Thank you
for saving me last night.
Anyway,
you can take me out again.
Painting suits you way better
than acting.
Sorry?
Well,
you're bad at acting.
I can tell you're not into me.
I don't think…
you even meant to try.
You…
already love someone, yeah?
And you brought me here…
not to give them space
but to make him jealous, right?
So,
you can tell?
I bet you that
everyone could, except you.
Don't do this.
You're going to get hurt.
Sometimes…
love makes us do stuff like this.
I don't know what it's like between you.
But I think…
it's better to be honest.
Thanks, Pong.
But…
actually,
I'm gonna have to…
get my heart broken too.
Search your heart and tell me who
Let this heal you.
Come on, Pong.
Go ahead and drink it.
It heals physical pain, not a broken heart.
Just drink it.
We both need to heal.
Gosh…
It's really bitter.
Try this.
Does that help?
I think so.
That's even worse.
It's too bad.
Wanna drink it?
There, there. Don't cry.
Stop that.
I'm perfectly fine.
-Really? Are you? -Yeah.
Wanna comfort me instead?
There, there.
Khem.
Wait.
Shit!
Did anyone see it?
My bad.
I'll be gentler next time.
Was that all right?
Hey!
Was what all right?
No more!
There won't be a next time.
I thought you liked it.
Or…
-did I do anything wrong last night? -Stop.
You were great.
Amazing, actually, but…
Can we talk about this later?
It's true.
I'm not hot enough.
You had me,
yet I'm still just a friend.
-It's not like that! -What then?
Well…
I mean…
Like…
You're not a friend, but…
something more than that. Just a bit more.
But…
let's be friends for now,
all right?
Let's take it slow.
-You didn't take it slow last night. -Stop it, Charn.
We're not alone.
Khem will be here tonight.
Let's just talk about this later.
He's coming.
Master?
Have you tried this?
It's green chiretta.
Master,
how do you know
that I'm unwell?
Well, your cough was so loud.
I knew it was bothering you.
Take small sips.
It's hot.
It's so bitter.
I hope it helps.
Can we talk about what happened last night?
I'm sorry I approached you suddenly.
I know you felt uncomfortable.
But I want you to know that I did it…
because I have feelings for you, Khem.
You know, don't you?
So…
did you stop
because you thought of Prim?
Not Prim…
but my mom.
It was her favorite song.
She was taken
by someone else's karmic enemy,
like the curse that clung to you.
I thought of my mom,
and I realized
I can't bear to lose anyone I love ever again.
And now I realize
I just need this moment,
just for a little while,
to listen to my heart
and tell you how I feel.
Master…
You feel the same way, don't you, Khem?
Do I taste bitter?
I just had the green chiretta.
No.
Sweet.
Why can't anyone find out?
Khem and you being in love
isn't wrong, is it?
I know.
It's not the right time.
Both Khem and I agree on this.
But Jet and Charn aren't strangers, Master.
If they found out, they'd be over the moon.
Both of them need to keep training
to be able to protect Khem.
I don't want them getting distracted by anything else.
Mistakes can happen.
Still, Master,
Khem can't hide what he's feeling.
Can we really keep this from Jet and Charn?
Please.
Please, Master.
-Master. -Please.
Please, Master.
Please.
I knew you couldn't resist.
You're making him a cushion, after all.
That's good.
He might not like you,
but you're not strangers.
Yeah,
you're right.
Guys,
Pong told me
Master and Prim have agreed to be just friends.
What? Aren't you guys surprised?
Well,
it's none of my business, right?
So…
did he also tell you
the reason why?
He didn't.
Could it be that
he's into someone else?
What do you mean?
I don't think so.
Someone so virtuous wouldn't care about love stuff.
It's nice
that he made it clear to Prim that they can only be friends.
They go back a long way,
yet he firmly denied her.
That should help you move on, right?
Yeah.
That's right.
Are you sick, Khem?
You sound weird.
What's wrong?
When you went to get medicine,
it took you forever.
Medicine?
I couldn't find anything,
so I didn't take anything.
So…
I'll…
go get some…
medicine.
My eyes hurt now.
I'll keep meditating,
in hopes that it might help me see things more clearly.
My face is up here.
I'm sorry.
Is that for me?
Yes.
I made this for you.
Thanks.
I'll put my clothes on.
Wait, Master…
What do your tattoos mean?
My grandfather once recalled my past life,
and it seems
I was somehow linked to a Naga.
So I got it tattooed for good luck.
Does that mean
you were a Naga in your past life?
Maybe not.
He only said there was a link.
I might have been just a Naga servant.
May it was then
that we met
and stayed together,
just like Pawat and Khemmika,
and like you and me now.
Do you think others have a fate like ours?
Not necessarily.
But every action we take
leaves its mark on someone else,
whether we realize it or not.
Like Ramphueng.
She haunted me through every life,
and I don't know what I did to deserve it.
You're right.
Maybe it's because of her
that our paths crossed again.
Not just mine and yours.
What do you mean?
In fact, both Jet and Charn
have been bound to you since your previous life.
Perhaps it's time for us to recall our past lives.
Ever since I began my training, I've been dreaming of Chayada.
But I just realized Master had already known.
But…
how much do you know?
I know that both of you
were Khemmika's best friends.
Why?
Anything else I need to know?
Nothing, Master.
I was just curious.
Focus your mind
and recall the feeling you had when you faced Ramphueng.
I'm Khem, Khemmika.
You guys need to come hang out with me.
Look, now that Khem has her own place…
Like when we were in school!
She will be too annoyed to ever feel lonely.
Khem!
-Wake up! -Calm down, Jin.
Is that Jintana?
I can only hear Da.
Me too.
I can only hear Khemmika.
If we tell her,
will it make her feel even lonelier?
Wait.
I can hear a baby crying.
I mean…
an infant.
Focus.
Follow the cry.
Mom?
Shit.
I think I'm hearing it too.
So am I.
Focus your mind
and fix it on Khem.
What happened?
I saw them.
Someone my grandfather knew.
Does Monk Kasem
have something to do with this boy?
I'm not so sure.
That's what I want to find out.
Do you happen to know where he is?
They say
he became a revered monk down in the South.
I'll try to reach out to his disciples.
It's been over a decade since he abandoned worldly ways,
so I can't promise I'll find him.
Very well, Grandma.
If you can reach him,
please tell him
we need his help with Ramphueng.
If he has something to do with this,
he'll understand.
Sure.
Leave it to me.
I'm not myself today.
I'm more tired than usual.
I'm struggling just to breathe.
Grandma,
perhaps you should stay with Uncle Chai.
If you're alone,
I'll worry.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm staying here.
Chai and the others visit me often enough.
Look, he's here.
Speak of the devil.
Hey…
Easy, Grandma.
I feel better now.
-I'm all right. -Okay.
I was just excited.
Master,
can we pull over?
At the ritual last night, I thought about my mom.
So I thought I'd make her chili paste
and dedicate it to her.
Master.
Wanna help me pick these?
If you're worried about Grandma,
why not let her stay with us?
My power may be white magic,
but I do have black magic stuff in my house.
An invocation performer like her
might lose her power if she gets too close.
It seems like…
you really love her.
She raised me together with my grandfather.
Every vital force in this village
is under her care.
I really wish she could take a break.
But everyone's also taking care of her.
You don't have to worry.
Please let me…
Please don't worry, Master.
Peem.
Yes?
From now on,
when we're by ourselves,
call me Peem.
Okay, Peem.
Well,
should we start picking?
Come on.
How much do you want?
A little more.
Master was right.
He knows Ramphueng.
He'll take an early train tomorrow to come see us.
Thank you, Grandma.
No worries.
Good luck, guys.
Get yourself ready too.
He's also your old friend.
Call if you need anything.
Okay.
If I need your help,
I'll let you know.
Will I get to see you, Kasem?
Will I be able to keep breathing until then?
You two, go wait for Monk Kasem.
With Khem's birthday approaching,
Ramphueng's power will grow stronger.
He might be able to help us.
How's everything?
Trouble with the train.
They're waiting to change trains in Buriram.
He'll arrive in the morning.
Then we came here for nothing.
I don't get it.
Why are both Monk Kasem and Master
so against cell phones?
They're virtuous. That's why.
What should we do?
Should we leave?
So Charn and I…
JET
…are gonna stay at a hotel.
Can you stay alone tonight?
Sure.
Master's here. I'll be okay.
Master…
I mean,
Peem,
you can come in.
Okay.
Sure.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Don't worry about me.
Hurry back tomorrow, all right?
Bye-bye.
You're teasing me.
I'm not.
I was just worried.
So you're sleeping alone tonight?
No one's around.
What if Ramphueng comes and harms you?
Why?
You wanna stay with me instead?
No.
It's fine if you stay alone.
Peem,
won't you feel tired?
It's nothing.
This isn't the first time I've stayed up watching over you.
You're right.
You've always helped me,
even though you were cold.
Thank you.
And…
I'm sorry for causing you trouble.
You're not.
I'm always willing to help you.
How about you lie down and get comfy?
KHANTI MEANS PATIENCE
DHARMA
I thought you wanted to sleep alone.
It's just that…
when I think about how little time I have left,
I'm afraid that
if I don't follow my heart now,
I won't get another chance.
So…
I don't know what I'm currently feeling.
Sometimes it's not complicated at all.
So don't make it seem that way.
Just say whatever you're feeling.
Sometimes, things you're worrying about
might not be what you think.
DECISION MAKING
Sweetheart.
Simply do what your heart says.
I support you.
You're staring.
What's your problem, huh?
Nothing. I'm just a friend.
There you go again.
I already told you,
you're more than that.
DECISION MAKING
What do you mean then?
A friend is a friend.
What's more than a friend?
I don't know, man.
I don't even know
if these feelings are mine or Jin's.
My dad just gave me a name that matches,
like it was meant to be.
We've loved each other since our past lives.
So why complicate things?
Wait,
you don't believe in past lives, do you?
I do now.
I really feel connected to you, Jet.
And I even lost my virginity to you.
You're not the victim here.
I also lost mine to you.
Shit.
I can't believe I said that.
Am I making you blush?
Yeah.
Well,
I'd never done it before.
So…
I'm your first?
Obviously.
So…
let me be confused for now.
I'm…
not ready to make any decisions.
Gosh, what are you doing?
You're just so cute, Jet.
Stop that.
Let's…
be friends for now.
All right?
Okay,
buddy.
Come on. Time for bed.
Tonight,
we'll just hold hands.
Okay.
What do you think
Khem's doing right now?
Is he still safe?
That wasn't good.
What you just said wasn't good.
I intend to keep you safe from this curse.
You have a long life to live
for your parents,
Jet and Charn,
and me.
You mean so much to me, Khem.
Peem,
is this wrong?
If it comes from love,
it can't be entirely wrong.
Can I help make you happy, Peem?
Still hasn't arrived.
Seriously, the trains in this country.
What's wrong?
Jet,
can you try calling Khem?
Something feels off.
Grandma Si?
Give me a moment.
Grandma Si,
do you feel better now?
What do you mean? I'm not sick.
Here, I made Master some dessert.
Is he still sleeping?
Yes.
Right.
Grandma,
the train got delayed,
so he hasn't arrived yet.
Who hasn't arrived yet?
Monk Kasem, you know.
Monk Kasem
Have you gotten the flowers ready for him?
Perfect. I'm going to pick some lotuses.
Do you want to come too?
The lotuses are really lovely.
Yes.
Let me leave this for Master first then.
MISSED CALL JET
PICKING LOTUSES WITH GRANDMA SI.
HAVE THE DESSERT SHE MADE FOR YOU.
Wow.
I think that one is perfect.
Wow.
It's so pretty.
Grandma Si,
it's pretty, right?
Are you still taking wan phra taba?
I trust you,
hoping it gets better.
-Master! -Master!
Grandma,
let's head back.
It's getting hot.
You might get sick.
I might get sick?
But you guys…
will die.
You won't make it out alive this time.
-Master! -Master!
Go save Khem.
Look. See it.
See what I had to go through.
Where is Grandma Si?
NEXT EPISODE
Please forgive me.
Why should fortune smile upon you?
I have faithfully fulfilled my duties as a wife for years,
yet you, a servant,
-dare to take everything from me. -Madam!
They're lying, my lord.
They're framing me. rd.
