Red Eagle

BANGKOK, 2013

The upcoming general election

will see a tight battle

between two major parties,

the People's Party and the Liberal Party.

The campaigning has grown intense

as election day nears.

Polls have indicated that

the opposition People's Party

is leading its rival by a wide margin.

But the new Liberal Party

is fighting tooth and nail.

Their leader is Direk,

a former NGO activist

who'll deliver his final speech today.

He hopes to rally the masses

who've fought with him before

to come out and give his party a final push.

Brothers and sisters,

it's time for people's politics.

We've waited in vain

as government after government

gave us empty promises that came to nothing

and crushed our hopes over and over again.

We can't wait any longer.

Now it's time to write the destiny

of our nation with our own hands!

People,

I promise you.

If I win this election,

I'll call off plans to build

this scandalous nuclear power plant.

Folks, remember his name.

Direk Damrongprapa.

Leader of the Liberal Party,

and the next prime minister of Thailand!

Yes!

In your view, do you think

the culture of corruption

has reached a crisis point?

Definitely.

I always stress that

conflict of interest

is like a tumor in Thai society.

It's eating us from the inside

without us noticing.

In you opinion, Professor,

what should normal citizens

like us do to cure the illness

that's crippling our society?

Should we sit still,

or should we do something to change it?

At the moment,

Thai society is being stifled

by what I'd like to call the surplus

of righteous discourse.

What's that?

We keep blabbering about

how everybody should do good things.

But look around,

I don't see anybody doing anything good.

Thai society is longing for a hero.

A hero must show himself to solve

the crisis of the nation.

Come on, I don't believe in heroes.

We keep asking for a hero

but have we really ever seen one?

How many times have we put our hopes

in a so-called hero

only for him to turn out to be a crook

who robbed the country blind?

Villain

I think we should stop

fantasizing about heroes.

Or a knight in shining armor.

Such a thing doesn't exist.

So what else do you think

we can put our hopes in?

We must believe in the power of the individual,

in the power inside all of us.

I think a hero already exists

inside each of us.

We all have a hero inside.

It's up to us whether we'll

to set him free or not.

Who's that?

Who're you?

Quick

This is the night of danger and fear

But I'd risk my life,

just to have you near

Red Eagle

Maybe it's fate, maybe it's a misfortune

That makes my heart struggle to be near you

Every night and day,

I fight whatever stands in my way

To keep you safe and warm

I'm a man lost in a maze without a light

But your love guides me

through the darkest night

So I'm not afraid,

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid,

I'm not afraid

So I'm not afraid,

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid

CHUMPORN:
3 YEARS LATER

Jaral!

Jaral!

What happened?

The government betrayed us.

They sent infiltrators to get us fighting.

Vasana, you should run.

Or you'll be in trouble.

I won't.

The government must come clean about this.

I'll go to Bangkok.

I'll sort this out with the Prime Minister.

You have 5 minutes, Miss Vasana.

He has a tight schedule.

I won't take too long.

What do you want from me?

I don't have the right

to want anything from you.

Your Excellency.

I'm here as an ordinary citizen.

Will you cut the sarcasm?

Say what you're here to say, I'm in a hurry.

It's about the nuclear power plant.

It's already out of my hands.

It's the cabinet's decision.

I can't do anything about it.

I know.

And I'm not here to beg for your help.

I'm here to ask you

about the mob of agitators sent

to break up the protest.

That wasn't my order.

I know nothing about it.

Then who did?

Who gave the order? Vasana.

Has it ever cross your mind

that maybe it was an

internal conflict in your NGO

that led to the clash?

Everytime there's a new mob,

you point a finger at the government.

But isn't it true?

You know it in your heart.

Didn't the government

take the local committee on an overseas trip?

When they returned, they changed side

and became supporters of the plant.

Divide and rule,

that's your specialty.

Enough.

I don't want to fight with you.

I'm telling you one more time.

As a prime minister

I have to see things in perspective.

A nuclear power plant is essential.

People in the provinces

have to make sacrifices

for the whole country.

Sacrifices?

How many times have the villagers

been made to sacrifice

in the name of national interests?

How many dams and coal mines?

If you really think the power plant is safe,

why don't you build one next to your own house?

Are you done?

I have a meeting to attend.

Do you remember

your promises during the election?

I'm a politician.

I have to do whatever it takes to win.

Kashen, see her out.

Direk.

I once had faith in you.

You were the hope for all of us.

Then one day you disappointed me.

But never before

have you disgusted me like you just did today.

CRIME SUPRRESSION DIVISION OFFICE

This was his first case from three years ago.

A watchman opened the warehouse in the morning

and found 20 dead bodies.

Not a single eyewitness.

Everybody there was killed.

This guy's Gesha.

The boss of the Gator gang.

He was shot in the knee.

His left hand was hacked off.

We also found 10 kilograms of pure heroine

stuffed into his mouth.

Detective, take a look at this.

The Matulee symbol.

Correct.

The Matulee is an underground organization

whose secret members include criminals

and influential politicians.

Look at this body.

See that?

The Red Eagle.

Yes, every time he kills,

he leaves a namecard on the body

to make sure everybody knows it's him.

I think Red Eagle is just a lunatic,

or a psychopathic killer.

Chief, think about it.

Who in his right mind

would put on a costume

and go out to murder people?

This guy's nuts.

A total head case.

Ok,

I'll assign you the Red Eagle case.

Check the files

from his previous murders for clues.

Most importantly,

I want a report on your progress

on my desk next week.

Next week!

Sh*t!

All by myself!

Come in.

You're here.

Let me introduce you to

Sergeant Singh...

what's your last name again?

Chandarakumara, sir.

Detective Chart Wuttikrai,

your new boss. Get acquainted.

Chief.

Are you sure he's not a roti vendor?

Excuse me, Excuse me

Sir, any progress

on the anti child abduction bill?

Not now please. Sir. Just a moment, sir.

Sir.

These reporters are a handful.

What's this, sir?

It's nothing.

She must be asking for an exclusive interview.

I should ask for something in return.

DEAR SENATOR.

TONIGHT I'LL COME TO TAKE YOUR LIFE.

RED EAGLE:

Stop the car!

Get that b*tch!

Go! Go now!

Stop!

Since the 1980s,

the construction of nuclear

power plants around the world

has dwindled considerably.
