There! Here we are.

Take it easy. We'll ruin everything.

Go for it!

Get your hands off. Let me down first.

Sh*t!

Now what? I'm getting creeps.

Why are you saying that for?

You two, get the dirt out.

What are you guys gabbling about?

Hurry up!

What the hell is this? Look.

You two help open the lid. Hurry up!

Why don't you give us a hand too?

You should have help us. It's heavy.

That's it for today. So damn heavy.

Noi!

Hello.

Don't you come in.

Nut, help me, please. Nut.

Excuse me?

Who is it?

It's me.

Ruj, how did you get here?

Nut.

There she goes again.

Give me a hand. Get her on the couch.

I'll get some water.

Ruj, it's me.

Nut, this...

My sister.

Your sister? Since when?

Since 3 years ago. My uncle and his wife...

which were her parents

died in an accident. My dad adopted her.

It was when you were abroad.

Aren't you taking her to the hospital?

No, I don't have to. She'll recover soon.

I have no idea what the heck this is.

No doctors know how to cure it.

Hey, Sa.

Nut.

She's recovered.

Are you alright?

Yes, I'm fine.

Hello, uncle

Hey, Sarut. When did you return?

Oh, wow, you've been quite famous.

In Cambodian's antiquities,

Dr. Sarut is known to be number 1.

Maybe it's just

because I'm interested in it.

Hat's why I pay much attention to it.

Nut.

Yes?

I have some new thing to show you.

Follow me to my office.

Excuse us. Make yourself at home.

Yes.

Sa, take care of our guest for me.

Slowly put it down.

Good. Open the lid.

Where did you get it, dad?

Our men in the east sent it to me.

I had a check. It's not faked.

It looks like a coffin.

Yes, but I can't be so sure...

...that's why I want you to go

and take a look for yourself.

And I'd like you to dig

around for other remaining,

oh yes, and why is your friend here?

He just came back from abroad.

So he stopped by for a little chat.

What does he know about our job?

How can we let anyone know about this?

I'd like your friend to do the dig, if possible.

This man's so straight forward.

Just tell him that

we're digging for

the Department of Fine Arts.

But...

Just do as I tell you to.

Remember,

only concentrate on what you're doing.

Yes.

You're interested in

Cambodian ancient culture too?

Yes. I've always found it interesting.

Would it be okay to ask for a signature?

I'd like to keep it as a souvenir.

So did you agree with what I wrote?

From your story,

it seems Princess Miyawantra

has such a cruel heart.

You meant when

she poisoned her own father?

Yes, even though

she was about to be crowned,

why assassinate?

That was only from the encryption.

The real story that happened

nobody could knew the real reason.

Except...

those who were born in that era.

If it's like that...

everything would be solved then.

What do you think?

Why don't you let

the government take care of this?

If we let them do it.

It'll take ages.

And besides,

I found that piece of antique.

Imagine my name on the papers.

And then we can have

an exhibition at the gallery,

it'd be a big hit.

Then after that

we can give it to

the Department of Fine Arts.

You too will be famous.

Okay. I will do it.

Stop trying to talk me into it.

What?

Nothing.

That castle? Yam?

Where's that grave?

You have to go over there.

Just keep driving and you'll see.

You're not coming?

No, you two should rather go alone.

With too few people,

I won't go in there.

Where are you going? So fast.

Let's go.

Hey, Ruj, what's the matter? Ruj!

It felt like someone just slit my throat.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Let's get going.

Take it easy.

We can come again tomorrow.

It's getting dark.

And we better get more men.

I think we should

head back to our camp.

The grave won't go anywhere.

Thanks.

It's hot.

I asked Yam to find 10 men

to help us tomorrow.

More digging around the grave.

But whose grave is it anyway?

From the design of the coffin

and how it was adorn with ornaments,

it was probably as important as a ruler.

And it was a she.

But the way she was buried,

was a punishment,

because there were no assets in it.

And the way the grave was built.

There was no honoring.

And from the location

this area

should be the land of Yasopura Nakorn

which is in the same era as

Princess Miyawantra.

I think this is Her Highness corpse.

That princess you've

always been crazed about?

Why aren't you so thrilled?

I'm not so sure yet, but it is possible.

But to make sure

we have to check the age in Bangkok.

This is not a small thing.

No body had ever found

any evidence at all.

I think we need to let some professionals

at the Department of Fine

Arts to take a look at this.

Department of Arts?

Miyawantra

Don't worry, sir.

I'll bring the real one

back to you this week.

Sure, sir.

Absolutely.

Goodbye.

Dad? Where are you now?

Almost there.

The roads are just killing me.

How's everything over there?

Good.

We're brushing up the grave...

and searching for other things.

Great. I think I'll get there soon.

That'll be all. Okay?

Did you find anything else

apart from the grave?

Not yet. I don't hope much though.

Since she was buried alive,

I don't think there's any treasure in it.

I'm so excited.

I finally get to see Princess Miyawantra.

I know you're really interested in her.

That's why I brought you with me.

Just don't make any troubles.

Okay.

What's the matter with you?

I saw it.

You saw what?

A woman dressing strangely

just cut in front of our car.

Are you out of your mind?

Who'd be walking

in the woods like this?

You're wasting time. Go. Go.

Will you stare

until I melt in front of you?

In front of all the holy sacred.

Let them be as my heart

that placed at your feet forever.

Let your sweetness

be as lasting as your words.

I fear that

it will not be the same

after the wedding ceremony.

Nothing will part my loyalty for you

even death.

What are you dreaming of?

Sa.

Nut.

What are you doing here?

I've always been interested

in Princess Miyawantra for ages.

You know that.

You can wait in Bangkok.

You'll get to see her anyway.

But...

What's bugging you?

It's not that trouble anyway.

Hello, uncle.

Hi. Where's Nut?

Over there.

We've found nothing so far

except the coffin

and a couple of potteries.

Uncle, I think it's a little odd here.

What's odd?

I'm pretty sure that

this is the grave

of Princess Miyawantra.

For the punishment,

all assets including

accessories are still here

except the coffin's lid.

So it's a little weird

because even worthy things

like this ankle bracelet is still here, Yam?

I know nothing, sir.

Know what nothing?

I just want to ask you

if this is the way

it was when you've found it.

Yes sir. It was like this.

Are you so sure...

that this is the

body of Princess Miyawantra?

I am, sir. Something told me so.

I have something to discuss with you.

Let's go talk inside the tent.

Let me talk to Nut for a minute.

Come, Yam.

Where is the grave?

Over there. I'll show you.
