01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

[Previously] How much money
do you have? Hand it all over!

Phob, watch out!
Don't you dare resist!

No one will ever find us here.

How about we find time
to meet here again, Your Highness?

Lately, Tinnakorn has been
going out of town quite often.

I'm so worried about him.

Lately, the Ministry of the Palace has
no official business out of town at all.

A spy reported that two of our soldiers
have been captured.

We must take action to
change the country very soon.

Do you like it? The jeweler made them
specially for the two of us.

I love it.

"The Edge of Horizon"
[Episode 7]

Has Tinnakorn left?

Yes, Your Highness.

Do you know where he went?

What are you craving today?

I'm good with anything.

This is the first time
I've been behind the ministry.

The place was dark and gloomy.

They're waiting to submit
petitions to the King

and seek help for the
hardships they're facing.

They're from all over the country.

Some came from Prachin Buri,

while others traveled from the Northeast.

They must have been through a lot.

I am all in.

By the end of June,

I'll get the money I invested back,
plus the interest, right?

Of course, you will.

Don't you remember
the last time you invested?

You doubled your money in just a month.

Good.

If someone finds the documents showing
I withdrew money

from the project budget for something else,

we're screwed.

You can rest assured.

The more we invest,
the higher our returns will be.

I guarantee that by the end of this month,

we'll both be millionaires.

This time,

even after I pay the ministry back,
I'll still make a profit.

I'll buy everything I've ever wanted.

Even my dad

won't be able to keep up with me.

Here's to getting rich!

Let me top off your drink.

You're not hungry?

Not really.

Seeing those people got to you, didn't it?

They barely have anything to eat.

- We shouldn't...
- We shouldn't splurge.

You're right.

What we're doing now is like

feasting while they're starving.

That's not what I meant.

Look, I've even ruined the mood for you.

Actually, the economic downturn

is affecting the whole world.

And it's not an easy problem to solve.

All the royals are doing everything
they can to find a solution.

But for those who are suffering,

sick, and hungry,

they can't wait any longer, Your Highness.

I know.

But I simply don't have enough power

to solve these problems.

If anyone can lead this
country out of this crisis,

I'll gladly support them.

Really?

If someone is helping people
overcome their hardships,

you'll support them and
you won't stand in their way.

Also, you won't treat them
as your enemies, will you?

Of course, I won't.

If they're doing what's
best for the country,

I should praise them.

Why would I see them as my enemy?

What is going on with you?

My prince is the best.

What?

Phob!

Dad!

Dad!

Prince Vasin!

- Dad!
- Prince Vasin!

What are you going to do to your son?

I should be the one asking you

what you've been trying to
drag my son into this time.

- Huh?
- Please, don't.

Dad!

Are you protecting him?

You said you had to work out of town,

but you were with him
all along, weren't you?

Tell me!

Just tell me!

Actually…

- I...
- Hello.

Hello, Uncle. How are you?

Siri?

I told Tinnakorn to meet me here.

Have you eaten yet, Uncle?

Why don't you join us?

I ordered plenty of food.

Didn't Tinnakorn come with Phobthee?

No. Phob came with Janthorn.

I ran into them, so I
invited them to join us.

That's right, Your Highness.

You're lucky Janthorn and
I showed up just in time.

Siri, thank you so much.

If there's anything I can help
you two with, just let me know.

Actually,

Phob and I…

I know

you and Phob share a very special bond.

Siri, I'm so sorry.

You don't have to apologize to me.

I know how hard it is to
live by the rules of your rank

and carry the burden
of your family's honor.

I truly wish

you and Phob all the
happiness in the world.

May the two of you finally be together.

I'm happy just to be your sister.

Siri.

Thank you so much,

my lovely sister.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

- Where are you going?
- To Varakulvatin Palace.

I'm worried his father will beat him
the way he beat me.

You need to get it together!

You'll only make things worse
if you show up like this!

Is this why you don't want to pry
information out of Prince Tinnakorn?

Tinnakorn.

Yes, Dad?

So, you really have a
date with Siri, don't you?

I was just about to talk to you about her.

What is it?

I'd like to call off my engagement to her.

What were you thinking?

Have you lost your mind?

You're willing to leave

a wonderful woman like her because of Phob?

It's because she's such a wonderful woman

that she shouldn't waste her time on me.

You know it well that
I can't be a good husband to her.

So what?

What's your plan after
calling off the engagement?

Are you going to live with him?

Wake up already!

Nobody can accept you for who you are.

You will ruin our family's reputation.

Ruin the family's reputation?

I've always done everything
you've asked of me.

I studied what you wanted me to study.

I pursued the career you chose for me.

I've always upheld our family's reputation.

What else do I have to do to satisfy you?

Be the man!

Be like every other man.

Get married and have children

to carry on our family's legacy.

Stop living in a fantasy world

and stop doing those
disgusting things with him.

If anyone finds out about the two of you,

our family will become
the laughingstock of the entire city.

You're right.

I must have humiliated you.

What about this?

Then disown me. Strip
me of our family name,

and forget that you ever
had this disgraceful son.

- Tinnakorn!
- What is it?

Vasin!

Are you going to hit your son?

I don't care what you want.

You're still going to marry Ruethaisiri.

Vasin?

Mom?

Did you and Tinnakorn
argue about Ruethaisiri?

Don't you worry.

He will have to marry Ruethaisiri.

I'll speak to Ruethaisiri's father

and have the wedding
arranged as soon as possible.

When you build a house, you build it
for the people who are going to live in it.

If he doesn't love her,

you shouldn't force him to marry her.

Ruethaisiri is the perfect match for him.

But Tinnakorn is a good man.

He has a good heart and a
good head on his shoulders.

I believe he'll choose the
right woman for himself.

After all, it's his life.
You need to let him make his own decisions.

This is the only thing
that I can't let him.

Why's that?

Tinnakorn is the pride
and honor of the Varakulvatin family.

He's my greatest pride,

and he should always remain that way.

Tinnakorn should be a prince
whom people respect and admire.

He shouldn't turn into an
object of ridicule and contempt.

I have to protect him.

What are you talking
about? What is going on?

It's not that big of a deal.

It's just that Tin doesn't
want to get married.

What is this?

Why is the pension disbursement
for the Department of Mineral Resources

taking so long? What's holding it up?

There were some issues with the paperwork.

Hurry up and fix it.

The Minister will be here to inspect
it himself at the end of the month.

Yes, sir.

Could you help speed up the
coal mine dividend payment?

There's going to be a major
audit at the end of the month.

If the Minister finds
out I've taken the money,

we'll both end up In jail.

Sure, sir. I will speed it up for you.

Don't you worry. I never
broke your promise.

Come on, let's drink.

Let's have a drink with me.

Don't stress. It will be fine.

We don't have much time.

If we leave this too long,
I'm afraid they might uncover something.

We have to act to change this country soon.

Otherwise, we may never get another chance.

[June 22, 1932]

Phob?

Have you received the
official schedule yet?

Yeah.

I made a copy, and
I'll give it to Mr. Kitti.

I haven't heard from Prince Tinnakorn

since the incident at the restaurant.

This is for our country and people.

When that day comes,
he will understand you.

Thank you for the information, Phobthee.

This is the right time for us.

What do you mean?

The 115 members of the Army, the Navy,

and the civilian sector
have unanimously agreed

that we should carry out
the change in government

on Friday, June 24.

The next two days?

That's right.

We don't know when those two
who were arrested might talk.

We have to make our move now.

This will be our last meeting.

We won't meet again until
the day we make our move.

So pay close attention to the plan.

This moment

is the most crucial time.

This is the most precarious moment.

The Commander General of the 1st Division,

one of our key forces,

has been assigned to visit Ratchaburi
and the southern provinces.

He won't return until next month.

Besides, many of the Navy's
senior officers are on leave.

That means we're the
only ones left in the capital.

If anyone intended to
overthrow the government,

they'd seize this opportunity
without hesitation.

Your Highness, my informants report that

military and civil officers
who studied in France

have been openly meeting
with mid-ranking officials.

They must be speeding up their plans.

We have to force those two soldiers

to give up the names of
everyone in the movement.

Aum.

Yes?

Is it for Tinnakorn?

Yes, Your Highness.

I'll bring it to him.

Tinnakorn.

Hey, it's me.

Phob?

What's wrong?

I waited up for you until I fell asleep.

I didn't think

your dad would ever let you out again.

I'm not a kid anymore.

If he wouldn't let me
out, I'd just sneak out.

I knew you'd come to see me.

My prince is the best.

Is something bothering you?

You can tell me.

Come on.

Can you wait for me here

for the next two days?

What is going on?

I have something important to take care of.

If you stay here and wait for me,

it'll put my mind at ease.

Something important?

What is it? Can I help you?

I can help you with anything.

You can let me know

about your important mission.

I don't want to see
you so stressed like this.

You know?

I can help you with anything.

Just being here is good enough for me.

There is one thing.

I'd like you to know.

Whatever happens

from now on,

please remember one thing,

I never meant to hurt you.

I love you.

I love you so much.

I love you more than anything.

- Phob?
- More than my own life.

What is going on?

Why are you...

Phob?

[June 23, 1932]

What's the update?

I've got a lead.

I know where your son is.

Please wait for me here

tomorrow.

Do not leave this house.

You keep saying that,
and I'm starting to get scared.

What is happening tomorrow?

I'll tell you everything

when it is done.

Okay?

Come back soon. I'll be waiting here.

I'll wait for you here.

Is that Phob?

Did he forget something?

Dad?

Did you really think I
wouldn't be able to find you?

Go home!

I'm not going home
with you. I will stay here.

Hey!

You think you have a choice?

Come here and take him home!

- Yes, Your Highness.
- No! I'm not going.

Dad!

Let me go!

Dad!

I will stay here! You can't bring me home!

I will stay here!

Stay here!

And you won't see him again!

Do it!

Go ahead and lock me up!

As long as I'm alive,

I'll find a way to get out and see him.

Tinnakorn!

What has he done to you?

What happened to the
son I was once so proud of?

I've never changed, Dad.

This is who I am.

I just want to be with someone I love.

That's all I've ever wanted.

Is it that bad?

Your life isn't yours alone.

You are the honor of this family.

The honor?

If having that honor
means living without Phob,

then I don't want it.

Honor has never made me happy.

All it's ever brought me is misery.

All it's ever given me is a burden.

I just want to be free.

I just want to be with the man I love.

That's the only thing I've ever wanted in my
life. I'll never ask you for anything ever again.

Can you give it to me?

Stop being so shallow!

Do you really think that
kind of twisted and distorted love

will ever make you happy?

You'll be looked down on,

ridiculed, and laughed at.

You'll be forced to live,
and you'd wish you were dead.

Live a life worse than death?

It's not different from now, is it?

You're k*lling me from the inside!

Was that necessary?

Dad!

Please, I beg you.

Can I live with Phob?

Please, let me live with him.

I love him.

Do you know how hard it was for me

to live day by day

when he wasn't around?

When he came back into my life,

I finally realized what
true happiness felt like.

I finally remembered
what it felt like to smile.

Please, I beg you.

Can't you just let me be happy?

Could you give me that?

This is the only thing
I'll ever ask of you.

And that's the one thing I can't give you.

Your Highness,

what are you doing here?

I'm getting some fresh air.

I am so happy.

I want to live like this forever.

Why won't you?

We will live like this

and we will be happy like this

forever.

What are you looking at?

I'm watching the moon.

It's a full moon tonight.
I haven't seen one in a long time.

It's pretty, isn't it?

It is.

I'll do whatever it
takes to get back to you.

Grandma?

Tin.

What is going on between you and Phob?

I…

I overheard

your argument with your father.

Is it true?

- Grandma, I...
- About you and Phob?

Grandma, I...

Please forgive me for
causing you so much sorrow, Grandma.

Is it the reason

that Nual and Phob

needed to leave the palace?

That's right.

Please don't be mad at Phob.

This is my fault.

It is all my fault.

Please forgive me for
disappointing you, Grandma.

I'm sorry.

I know

my mistake is far too great to forgive.

From now on, I won't
show my face to you again.

Everything I have of value is in here.

I want you to have it all.

Take it, build a life for yourself,

and be with the one you love.

Here, take it all.

You're not mad at me?

Why would I be mad at you?

You just want to live your own life.

But I've brought shame upon the our family.

Varakulvatin's reputation
will be ruined because of me.

I've brought our family to ruin, Grandma.

Tinnakorn,

listen to me.

If honor and dignity

must come at the cost

of my grandchildren's suffering and pain,

then I don’t want any part of them.

Grandma.

It's okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Listen to me,

you have to stay strong from now on.

You have to be with Phob.

Don't worry about us here.

I will talk to your dad.

Wait until your dad has calmed down

and his anger has eased.

Then I will tell you

to bring Phob back so the two of you
can ask for his forgiveness, okay?

You should go.

Just go, darling.

- You promise?
- Sure, just go.

May the heavens and all the holy spirits

please watch over and protect

my beloved grandson.

[The dawn of June 24th, 1932.]
[Siamese Revolution]

We'll gather as many troops
as possible at the Royal Plaza.

Some will be brought in from the Royal Military
Academy and the Army Engineer Regiment.

I'll tell them that it is
for a training exercise.

As for the rest, I'll tell
them there's been a riot.

I thought you said there was a riot.
Why isn't anyone here?

But once they're here,

they'll have no choice
but to obey their commanding officers.

Everyone, stay calm.

This is not the time to ask questions.

Listen only to your
commanding officer's orders.

The moment the operation begins, we'll
cut all telephone and telegraph lines.

- The royals and high-ranking officers who
are out of the capital - [Noppalak Palace]

won't be able to communicate or interfere.

After today,

nothing will ever be the same.

From the list of names those two gave us,

there isn't a single
high-ranking officer among them,

or anyone in command of
any significant military force.

Can they truly carry out
a change of government?

We can't be too prepared.

They were all educated in France.

If they're truly intent on
changing the government,

they could be far more
dangerous than we expect.

Has the arrest warrant been issued yet?

The Director-General said
it would be ready by 11.

Who the hell are you?

Do you know the penalty
for invading the palace?

Phob!

Please remain calm, everyone.

As of this moment, Khana Ratsadon

has taken control of
the government already.

We have no intention of harming anyone.

If anyone chooses to resist,

we will act decisively.

This is an announcement
from Khana Ratsadon.

The government has filled

key positions with relatives

and unqualified sycophants.

They have allowed officials
to abuse their authority for personal gain.

Bribes are taken in public
construction projects

and government procurement.

Profits are made through currency exchange,
while the nation's wealth is squandered.

They have elevated their own circle, granting
them privileges above those of the people.

They have oppressed the people,

governed without sound principles,

and left the nation to drift aimlessly,

as evidenced by the economic decline

and the increasing
hardship of making a living,

as the people are already well aware.

People of Siam,

let it be known that this
nation belongs to the people.

We hereby announce to all the people

that the Kingdom of Siam
has changed its system of government.

The authority to govern the nation
now belongs to the people.

Khana Ratsadon has secured control of
all government offices

and has taken the members
of the Royal Family into custody.

We ask all the people not to be alarmed

and to work together to
preserve the peace of the nation.

How did this happen?

Therefore, the people,
the government officials,

along with military and civilian officials

who saw through the
government's corrupt conduct,

joined together to form the
People's Party [Khana Ratsadon]

and have now taken over
the powers of the King.

I can't believe it!

What's going on?

Your Highness! Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

A rally is now taking
place at the Royal Plaza.

People who have suffered
under the government's failures

are called to gether there.

This will be the first time the
people's voices truly matter.

Stand together. Siam is about to change.

This is for people's rights and freedom.

Siam is about to change.

Khana Ratsadon believes that
these injustices can only be corrected

by establishing a system of government
with a legislative assembly,

where many opinions
may be brought together in deliberation,

for the wisdom of many is better than
the judgment of one.

[Next Episode] I wish we could
stay like this together forever.

Of course. As long as Your Highness
doesn't let go of my hand,

I will never let go of yours.

As long as I am alive,
you two will never be together!

- P' Chat!
- Help! Somebody help me!

We haven't even met Phob yet,
and trouble has already struck.

I'll go tell Phob so he can come help us.

In the end... is what I
chose really worth it?
