Are you worried about Boonkerd?

I'm very worried about him,

he hasn't woken up yet.

Don't worry too much, okay?

He's in good hand now.

Sh*t!

There, you are smiling now.

What are you doing?

Ramyong... how do you feel about me?

Hey, did you know in a few days

the new Tark Governor will hold an Oath

of Allegience Ceremony ?

Yes, Tuek told me.

But what does it have to do with me?

Then maybe you also know that this

new governor is very fond of boxing

and he'll arrange a boxing competition

on that day.

And if you're in this competition

with some famous boxers...

and win, I'll answer that question of yours.

Why can't you answer right now?

Boonkerd, you're awake!

Thought you'd never wake up.

Am I that drowsy?

Yeah, yeah. Drink some water first.

You're so lucky, you know?

Gunshot in the middle of the chest like that.

Luckily Father Provost could save your life.

Shot? I got shot?

Come on, don't lie to me, Sis.

Nonsense you! Who lied?

Even when I'm sick, you go on bluffing me.

Yeah, yeah, alright I'll speak the truth.

Do you remember

when we were walking in the woods?

You were so arrogant,

didn't believe the warning

about not saying "tiger".

You kept mentioning it along the way.

So a tiger jumped

and grabbed you right in front of our eyes.

Really?

Really!

Good thing Thongdee chased after the tiger,

stab him to death

before taking you here to be cured.

Thongdee.

- Thongdee, you saved my life.

- Hey.. Boonkerd.

Thanks for not leaving me

or else I would be the tiger's meal by now

Thanks a lot, Bro.

What tiger?

Just drivel, that's all.

Good.

You two go wait inside the bower.

Alright,

I'll repeat one more time.

Today's boxing contest

is to celebrate the Tark's new governorship

He'd like to see the boxing skills of you guys.

Any of you whose boxing skill... lmpresses him,

Will be greatly rewarded

Well,

who else wants to try out?

Me!

I'm Pun, I'm from Baan Kang Village.

I want to challenge...

I'm Tuek, from Toong Yang Village,

I'll accept Mr.Pun of Baan Kang's challenge.

Great. You two go wait in the bower.

Looking for someone?

Oh, this is my uncle, Hao,

the one I told you about.

He teaches boxing to the governor's Officers.

Uncle, this is Thongdee.

Is that you?

You know each other?

Real well too!

Right, Thongdee?

How long have you known Master Hao, Thongdee?

Many years ago I was completely destroyed by him.

Never thought I'd see him again.

Oh yeah?

Well Bro, that was so long ago!

This time if you both tried out...

I think you'd have a really good chance.

Maybe not, Boonkerd. He's a senior

and the boxing-master of the Lord Governor too.

Well? ls there another pair

who wants to do the try out?

If not, then I'll deliver the names

of all boxers who volunteered

to the Lord Governor right away.

Hold on...!

Are you saying you want to do it, you thin slag?!

Not me, but my brother here would like to.

And whom do you wish to challenge?

YOu!

What are you saying, Boonkerd?

Thongdee, still think you wanna try me again?

With your kind permission,

I'd like another chance, sir.

Will you approve of that?

Roen... wins!

It's my turn now.

Thongdee.

Be very careful.

This man is a very sharp boxer.

Anyway, I wish you luck.

Next, Tuek..vs. Pun!

Oh yes, here, there's a note for you.

How dare you challenge my uncle?

You'll lose and I'll be watching, Thongdee!

Thongdee...?

Ruang!

And so we meet again.

Come to watch the boxing too?

Heard you're gonna try out

with the Governor's fight master,

so I wanna see with my own eyes.

But unfortunately,

I may not stay until you finish.

There's something very important I need to do.

What thing? Can I help at all?

When that time comes, you sure can.

Look!

Your friend has the advantage over his rival.

Tuek, wins.

Next... Thongdee...

Master Hao.

Hope you're a lot better than before

I don't want to clean up too soon

I'm ready to learn from you, Master.

Yeah!!!

Thongdee wins!

Hold on, Thongdee!

You still have some strength left, right?

I want you to try one more fight with Master Muk,

What'd you say?

Today's competition has now come to an end.

The Lord Governor will give the awards

to the winners himself.

The one whose name is called, stay. And if not...

just leave the field right away.

All of you have skills that impressed me a lot.

I shall now reward you.

Especially you, Thongdee!

You alone have defeated two of my masters.

So your reward will be really special.

Ramyong, you come here!

What're the smiles for?

I'm not gonna reward you with Ramyong,

Thongdee!

Go on, give them the money.

Protect the Lord Governor!

Kill the bastard governor!

Anyone not involved, just leave!

Kill everyone who dares resist!

Thongdee!

Ruang...!

Why are you doing this?

This is between me and the governor,

it's none of your business, Thongdee.

Just get out of the way!

If you don't, I'll have to kill you!

I won't let you do that.

Ramyong, Tuek, take the governor and leave.

Stop right there! If you guys don't wanna die!

Thongdee... you better shoot me.

If you don't,

I'll have to shoot you.

Ruang ...

For the sake that you used to help me,

just leave, please!

Thongdee.

There's no turning back for me.

I've already come this far.

Just kill me now.

Shoot me!!!

I'm gonna repay you with my own life.

I'm not gonna let you hurt people I love

and go on to do worse.

I've never seen anyone as stupid as you, Thongdee.

Just shoot me, Ruang. I'm ready.

My Lord sir, I didn't mean to.

I didn't mean for you to get hurt, sir!

Please don't execute me, sir!

Why should I do that?

Since you did that great imitation of me, huh?

Get someone to take care of his wound. Doctors!

Alright everyone, go have your wounds taken care of!

Don't be puzzled, Thongdee.

The first Lord Governor you saw was the imposter.

Can you understand the whole thing now?

Ruang, don't tell me you're...

My name's not Ruang,

My name is Sinn.

Sinn...

I heard all about you, Thongdee.

First from my wife

when she was travelling in the cart

and facing the Burmese raid.

If not for you

I can't even imagine all that would've happened

to my wife and my children.

- Thongdee!

- Ramyong!

- After that... I had seen your skills

- Wait for me.

With my own eyes

when you defeated the famous Master Nin

at the Phra Tan Temple fest.

I could see that your boxing skill was different.

You even dared to challenge my people,

And you've defeated both Master Hao...

and Master Muk in the same event.

Not counting the time you stabbed a tiger to death

And most importantly, you stole Ramyong's heart.

Let me tell you right this minute, Thongdee,

Talented men may be hard to come by,

but the man with a brave heart just like yours

who places righteousness over personal matters

is even harder to come by.

For example, the 3 boxers

who started boxing the same time as you,

They were the first group that ran

to save their lives.

Only you and your friend passed my test.
