Kunpan: Legend of the Warlord (ขุนแผน)

"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.
