This film is inspired by a true story
Characters and incidents portrayed herewith
are fictitious.
At the end of World War II...
Bangkok, 1950
the country fell into crisis.
To avoid being punished
for collaborating with Japan
the Thai government signed an agreement
to pay war reparations
with 1.5 million tons of rice
to Allied Powers.
So the Big Brothers would take us
under their wings.
The deal soon bankrupted the state.
Food became scarce and expensive.
The military, the police
and feudal landowners
took turns taking control of Parliament.
It was a time of crippling inequality
and dark intrigue.
Scores of intellectuals
and influential figures were assassinated
by bandits who became politicians' hired guns.
Who could serve crooks
better than other crooks?
These are title deeds
that farmers have put up as guarantee.
Now I want you...
to get more men
to guard our opium houses
before the bandits raid them again.
Otherwise, we will stop funding you lads.
You're overreacting.
Do you think the Blackshirts would dare
mess with the opium cartel?
Bandit Dam has sent us a threat.
Bandit Dam
His intention is clear.
Help! I don't want to die!
Help!
No!
Help!
(Chanting)
Bandit Dam.
Take everything you want!
Please don't kill me!
Your time's up, Boss.
Sir
to prove that your allegiance doesn't lie
with the Blackshirts
and that you do not
sympathise with those outlaws
I request that
you truthfully answer my questions
so this evaluation will fully benefit
yourself and the police force.
Yes, ma'am.
There are ample reports
of your use of excessive violence.
I did my duty.
Please answer the question.
I killed them...
to uphold the law.
Is this what you call upholding the law?
We found 21 bullets
in the skull of a dead bandit.
They all came from the same gun.
Your gun.
There's something else we don't understand.
You always cut off a tuft of hair
or removed some teeth from your victims.
Why did you do that?
That's how I communicate with them.
Khun Pan is a relic from the bygone era.
As a human rights activist
I think you've crossed the line.
We should make an example out of him.
If they are ghosts...
I'll be the Lord of Death.
Surrender and I'll let you live!
There are bombs on the ground!
Watch out!
Sir, we've lost almost all of our men.
What now?
(Chanting incantation)
Get me a torch.
If they don't come out
I'll burn them.
Go!
Khun Pan 3: Judgement Day
Sir, please give a statement.
What's the verdict of the rights commission?
Do you think your action was excessive?
A question here, sir.
In 1950
Lt. Gen. Khun Pan
was cleared from the charge
of conspiring with Blackshirt bandits.
He requested to be transferred back
to his hometown.
Amidst the ongoing political turmoil
he gave up his weapon
whilst the country strove to seek a way out.
Politics heats up.
Three opposition MPS kidnapped
no bodies found.
Nakhon Si Thammarat
The tobacco is ruining your gums.
It'll get worse. You should quit.
You grumble just like my wife, Doc.
Hey, the bearded ogre!
Number One. Khun Pan.
Vote for number one. Thank you.
Thank you.
Hey!
Is Noon's blouse ready?
Yes. Here you go, sir.
Thanks.
Thank you.
- Good morning, sir. - Good morning.
- How are you? - I'm fine, thanks.
Bless me with lots of customers, Dad.
So I can lavish you with offerings.
Oh. Good morning, Khun Pan.
Hello, young man.
No, don't touch that! Not that one.
Come here.
- This one? - This is the latest model.
- The latest model? - Coming through!
Stop.
Noon, come and take a look.
I'm buying you a transistor radio.
- Slowly. - Yes.
Thank you.
Come and take a look.
This one.
Please vote for number one. Khun Pan.
- This is the latest model. - Thank you.
We'll turn on the music every day
so our baby will be in a good mood.
It's a boy.
Really?
Really? Are we having a baby boy?
Yes! I'm going to have a son!
Yeah!
This calls for a celebration!
Folks!
Khun Pan is going to have a son!
Thai Sky Publishing
Sorn, the editor's looking for you.
Got it, Fah.
Hi, Sorn.
Editor
There you are, you son of a gun! Sit.
For your eyes only.
First Draft - The Sorcerer Lawman
Sorn
stop writing about Khun Pan.
It's old news.
Write about Bandit Mahesuan and Bandit Dam.
Last time you wrote
that they'd rob a bank.
And they did rob a bank.
People loved it.
Let me write three more stories
about Khun Pan
then I'll start working on Dam and Mahesuan.
Look, I think
you should put fantastical elements into it.
Black magic, sorcery
and crazy gunfights, you know.
People dig that stuff.
But the critics will slag us off
for peddling superstitions.
Critics be damned!
Trust me.
Start writing about
Bandit Mahesuan and Bandit Dam now.
I want to publish it
before their next robbery.
Got it?
Yes, Boss.
Wanted! Bandit Mahesuan
Reward 1,500 Baht
Sirinkorn Bank
Here, miss.
These two bandits
are currently wreaking havoc.
Please be careful.
All done.
Thank you.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Mahesuan is here to rob you!
There he is!
Hold your fire!
He has hostages.
Catch him alive.
Stop him!
Stop!
Yes, sir.
Mahesuan just disappeared.
We are searching the perimeter.
I'm from the central bank.
The manager here called us to report
a threatening letter from Mahesuan stating
Mahesuan will rob the bank tomorrow at noon.
I'm on the security team
that came to take items in the safe
to our command centre.
Too bad he got to them first.
Let me go!
Sirinkorn Bank
Butr, hang in there.
A life for a life.
Noon, are you all right?
What's wrong?
It's fine.
- Who's that? - Stay.
Stay here, I'll go check.
Butr!
His Venerable is about to cross over.
He wants to see you.
Butr...
Do you still have
the spell of invulnerability?
Yes, Venerable.
You have it now, but not forever.
Nothing is permanent.
Everything fades
at its own time.
Just like me at this moment.
My time has come.
Come closer.
That demon you saw is your past karma.
It's the spirits
of all the men you've killed.
They've returned
to take revenge on you and your family
waiting to attack whenever you become weak.
A life for a life.
Sir...
is there a way for me
to escape from my past karma?
Everything fades and dies.
A cycle cannot be interrupted.
Use what I taught you
to protect people until your final moment.
Then let go of yourself
and everything around you.
When there's no self
there's no need for any protective spell.
Remember this.
The newborn will save your life.
His Venerable had already departed
before you arrived.
Butr, you should seek refuge in monkhood.
It will relieve you from your past karma.
The demon...
it wants your life.
Sir...
please don't tell my wife about this.
The opposition is gearing up
for the censure debate.
People fear that the government
may dissolve parliament
before any scrutiny can take place.
A general election will surely heat up
Thai politics.
Mathuros Restaurant
They're using all sorts of dirty tactics.
Many on our side have been taken out.
Kawin Mala
Those who live are constantly
under threat from the mob.
People are starving...
Dr Thana Thong-Inn
but they're still obsessed with power.
It's important that we end this now.
Tiang Khansiri
Do it while we still have some support left.
We're going to have an election soon
I don't want to see people
dying on the street again.
We have to fight them in the election.
A victory from people's votes
is much more dignified.
You mean an election rigged by them?
You said we'd win.
Have you forgotten about phantom votes?
They'll rotate voters.
They'll put fake ballots
into the boxes.
We'll never win because it's their rule.
We should wait for a signal from Sa-nguan
once he returns from China.
But it's very dangerous.
How can Sa-nguan sneak back?
Kawin.
Protect the MPs!
Run!
Let me cut to the chase, Khun Pan.
Sa-nguan Nonethai.
Kawin Mala.
Dr. Thana Thong-inn.
And Tiang Khansiri.
They are influential left-wing politicians
from the Northeast.
Three of them were kidnapped
from a restaurant in Bangkok.
Except Sa-nguan Nonethai.
He's on his way back from China.
Sa-nguan will be ordained in Chiang Rai
before returning to Bangkok.
Captain Tatthep's men
will escort him all the way.
I'm sorry, Lord Dej Jamras.
But I no longer serve the central bureau.
I know.
I authorised your transfer myself.
But I truly believe
that only you can help us.
Wanted! Bandit Dam - Reward 1,500 Baht
We believe the kidnapping was
the work of the Blackshirts.
Those outlaws are still causing trouble
even after the death of Bandit Fai.
They run rampant
and now they've kidnapped these three men.
You're the only person
who knows their ins and outs.
Honestly, sir, I'm so honored
to have a chance...
to work with a living legend like you.
Your experience
will contribute a great deal
to the mission we're undertaking.
The Blackshirts pretend to help the poor
by robbing the rich
but, in fact, they're just criminals.
It's about time we ended this, Khun Pan.
Look...
Noon...
if you don't want me to
I won't take the job.
Don't worry about me and our baby.
Just come back in time for our son's birth.
I promise, son.
Phichit Province
Tickets, please.
Sa-nguan Nonethai
Listen, we've entered their territory.
Stay vigilant, everyone.
- You heard me? - Yes, sir!
A glass of whisky, please.
Sawitree
Nice name.
Don't you feel lonely travelling by yourself?
Don't move! This is a robbery!
Get down!
Sorry.
- What are you doing? - You have a gun?
Sit down! Sit!
Don't play smart with me.
Give me the microphone.
Hey!
Turn around! Hands up!
Attention, please.
I have bad news. The train is being robbed.
Don't move.
But do not be alarmed.
Don't move!
We're not going to hurt you.
We just want Mr Sa-nguan Nonethai.
Don't do anything
to risk the lives of the innocent.
Do not force us to use violence.
Order the train to stop
and bring Mr Sa-nguan to the dining car
and no one will be harmed.
Hey, miss!
What are you doing there? Get up!
Get up now!
- Go back! - A bomb!
Please help me. He forced me.
No! Turn around!
Fuck.
Bandits, attack!
Hi there, Khun Pan!
I'm Bandit Dam.
You and I have a score to settle!
(Chanting incantation)
Back up! Get down! Now!
Get down!
Doc, are you alright?
I'm fine.
Go get Mr Sa-nguan.
They tricked us!
Look at me.
Open your eyes and look at me!
Dam, we have to go!
They duped us. Sa-nguan is dead!
- Wake up and look me in the eyes. - Dam!
- Dam, enough! It's a trap! - Khun Pan!
We have to move!
They're going to kill us all!
Look!
Bandits! Fall back!
You're lucky
the bullets didn't hit any vital organs.
But I'm surprised
bullets could finally pierce your skin.
I heard that he removed hair or teeth
from every crook he killed
and kept them in his gun box.
Why did he do that?
To lock up their spirits
so that they won't come back
to harass him.
Are you alright?
Don't worry, sir.
I'll find out where they're hiding.
These police officers were tracking down
the Blackshirts' hideout.
I'm sure the bandits got them.
Where did you find these bodies?
They floated down the river, sir.
Phetchabun Province
Gather here, all spirits.
God Indra has given you
the rights to become ghosts.
Ghosts, rise. I have questions for you.
(Chanting incantation)
Show yourselves.
Tell me where your bodies came from.
These markers show the villages
where the bandits hand out their money.
The area is protected by mountains.
The only way in
is through this treacherous river
dangerous and strewn with rapids.
Deputy Chief of Defence Staff
The locals call it "Corpse Ravine".
Anyone who went in never came back out.
The villagers believe
the area is infested with vicious ghosts.
But I'm quite certain
this is the entrance
to the bandits' hideout.
Arm your men to the teeth.
You have a tough battle up ahead.
Headquarters have decided
to exterminate all these outlaws.
I can't do that, sir.
Stop playing the hero.
Don't forget
that you were suspected
of siding with them before.
It's true
I was once embedded with the Blackshirts.
So I know that
most of the bandits are just poor farmers
who're forced to rob
because they're starving.
They weren't born outlaws.
Poverty cannot justify lawless behaviour.
Your "poor farmers"
are in fact anti-government malcontents.
And remember
you're not the one calling the shot here.
Understood?
Go!
Harder!
- Captain! - Keep going!
Careful!
- Paddle, everyone! - Go!
- Paddle up! - Careful!
Captain!
- Help the Captain! - Captain! Grab it!
Pull!
Is everyone alright?
And the equipment?
Sir.
Sarge.
There they are.
Hey!
Only one boat.
The villagers must be scared.
Thank you for saving me.
You're welcome.
Get your men ready to tow the boat.
Corpse Ravine
That skipper is so scared he has bolted.
We must be close now, sir.
Watch out!
Come here! Quickly!
Yes, sir.
Come on!
Sarge.
- Captain. - Go. Keep going.
Don't let your guard down.
We're in their den now.
Sarge.
Sir!
Sarge!
Bandits, attack!
You think no bullets can harm you?
(Chanting incantation)
Hey!
Don't stick your nose into my affairs!
If you kill him
they'll send more men to get us.
Besides, he's in my zone now.
It's my call.
Mahesuan, you're asking for trouble.
Don't ever look away...
or he's fucking dead.
Doc.
Look!
Go!
Shoot it!
I'm out of here!
I'll shoot you dead if you run!
Die!
- Keep taking the temperature. - Okay.
Let me see.
Take a deep breath.
- Has this one gotten the pills? - Not yet.
Lie still.
- Dr. Karn. - Dr. Sa.
You have to talk to Mahesuan.
We have too many malaria cases.
And not enough quinine.
Worst case
our patients may have to draw lots.
And we'll end up with more dead bodies.
I'll talk to him.
- Okay. - Doctor, help!
He was shot.
Doctor, help.
Nim, check his wound.
You didn't sustain
any serious injuries.
Look, no need to get nervous around here.
Mahesuan has instructed everyone in his zone
not to touch you.
But watch out for Bandit Dam's minions.
I wager with all of this.
If my men can catch you
the Whiteshirts have to pay me five times more.
And Jerd, you have to stay away
from my daughter Chaba.
You clowns!
What's with your stupid laugh?
What's so funny?
So, what do you say, Jerd?
Deal.
But if you can't catch him
you have to give Chaba to him.
Jerd
don't embarrass me.
Be careful!
- Jerd! - Father.
Let me go!
Catch him!
Be careful!
Go, Jerd, go!
- Catch him! - Be careful, Jerd!
Take it all! Hurry up!
What will be your wager?
If I catch you
you'll have to answer all my questions.
My pleasure, old man.
Mahesuan!
Lots of wild beasts around here
so we need lots of traps.
Let's go get a pint, Khun Pan.
My treat.
Time passed, flowers withered
Petals, leaves and pollen falter
Falling like rain
On the world over yonder
Dark sky spells disaster
Brighten up, dear sir.
It's Jerd's wedding.
We live for the moment.
We either make love or shoot each other dead.
You never know, we might get shot
by someone like you at any time.
You know I'll arrest you
at the first opportunity.
Catch me if you can.
Now let me enjoy myself first.
Why did you choose to work in Bandit Town?
And why did you join the police?
To uphold the law.
Sometimes the law favours the bad.
Like me.
A doctor
has to save both the hero and the villain.
Look, these young people...
are the future of this country.
But they rise against the government
and they're deprived of a chance
to live a normal life.
We all became bandits for one reason.
We want to steal our own life back.
Cheers, sir.
Move!
I make sure
my guests are happy and well-fed
especially a rising-star of an officer like you.
The bastard son of the Field Marshal himself.
I wouldn't tolerate
anything less than perfection.
Eat up.
Feed it up your own ass.
Captain
you and your men will go to a tribunal.
What tribunal?
Captain!
Before we reach our verdict
does anyone want to speak up?
I propose that we let them live.
Just lock them up here.
Killing state officers
will only bring us harm.
If the police raid us again
we'll have them as collateral.
They are more useful alive than dead.
Stop daydreaming.
We're not going to let these people
live a normal life again.
I don't care about others
all I want is to kill
that traitor Khun Pan.
Kill them!
We have decided
that bandits and police cannot co-exist.
The tribunal is sentencing them
to death immediately.
Zip it!
But Khun Pan
once took the water oath with us
so we'll let him decide his own fate
in a duel with Dam.
No, Elders!
Mahesuan, stop!
Stand down.
Move!
Wait! Hey! No!
Kill them all.
Kill them!
Kill them all!
Goodbye, Captain.
No!
Bandit Dam!
There's no rule.
All weapons are allowed.
The only condition is
it's a one-on-one.
Anyone who interferes will be shot.
I may be an outlaw to the bone
but I never harmed women and children
like you did.
Hide me from the left.
Cloak me from the right.
Khun Pan!
(Chanting incantation)
If you surrender, I'll let you live!
Dam!
Orn, my love!
Orn, hang in there!
Dam.
Orn!
Orn, my love!
Run.
No! Orn!
- Orn! - Run.
Orn.
Orn! Orn!
Run!
- Run! - Orn!
Kill them!
Your magic is fading.
Remember...
I'm Bandit Dam
and I'll never shoot a wounded dog.
Let's fight without sorcery.
Bandit Dam!
Hey!
Are you ready, Khun Pan?
Come on, Dam!
Be careful, Dam!
Keep fighting!
Hang in there!
- Dam, get up! - Get up!
Hey! Dam, get up!
Get up!
Get up! Dam!
Shoot.
Shoot!
Khun Pan
you're insulting me.
Rules...
are rules!
(Chanting incantation)
Dam
you're the real deal.
This time, it's a tie.
Whenever you want a rematch
I'll be ready.
Khun Pan.
You're the real deal.
But is your boss...
also real?
Mahesuan
you'll be his guarantor.
If he causes trouble
you and the Whiteshirts
will pay with your lives.
I swear on my life and my men's.
Well.
Lock him up.
Let's go, sir.
Stay here tonight.
Tomorrow I'll have someone free you.
We have a lot to discuss.
Like what?
You and I have nothing to discuss.
You are all thieves!
You have one night to think about it.
Tomorrow you can tell me.
I believe this is yours.
Something of importance.
Do you think he'll help us?
I don't know.
Let him calm down first
and I'll talk to him again.
If he refuses
I'll have to kill him.
Don't worry
just come back in time for our son's birth.
I promise, son.
Ohm, undo the padlock.
Unfasten the restraint.
Ohm, undo the padlock.
Unfasten the restraint.
Ohm, undo the padlock.
Unfasten the restraint.
Shit!
Where is he?
We've run out of medicine.
A lot of people will die.
Mahesuan!
What?
- What? - Khun Pan has run away!
What should we do?
Go!
Find him!
Quickly! Or we'll all be dead!
Go up there!
Come with me!
Khun Pan has escaped!
Hunt him down!
I'll fucking get you!
He's here!
He's gone!
I found him! He's here!
Hide me from the left.
Cloak me from the right.
You left me with no choice.
I'm sorry, Khun Pan.
Stop!
Don't do it, Mahesuan.
This isn't going to solve anything.
A bomb!
We were lucky that Mahesuan rescued us.
It's the only way for us to be safe.
Safe from what?
Have you heard about the Newland Project?
It was a secret state project
that sucked up a huge budget
personally approved by the Field Marshal.
We were on the supervising committee.
It was a construction of a new capital city
a factory to produce Japanese money
to use during the war.
It was backed by Japanese officials
and involved corruption
extortion
murder
and working with outlaws.
The men rounded up to work here
were marginalized minorities
poor villagers
and anti-government dissidents on the run.
The government framed them for terrorism
forced them to work here
and had them do other illegal work
in exchange for future freedom.
Yes.
They knew that
the project was doomed from the start.
This jungle was infested with malaria
and wild beasts.
Soon
the construction workers...
dropped dead in large numbers.
There was no registry.
People arrived, worked and died.
Then the Allied bombing
erased all traces of atrocity.
We have incriminating evidence on film
and documents bearing
the Field Marshal's signature
as well as proof
of rampant corruption.
We wanted to expose this in Parliament
after Sa-nguan returned from China.
But the government was alerted
and they want to take us out.
But Sa-nguan...
was killed by Bandit Dam.
No. We were there to rescue Sa-nguan.
Captain Tatthep's real mission
is to destroy all evidence
and to kill everyone here.
Now you understand...
that you're a victim just like us.
They sent you to help them kill us all.
Mahesuan!
- Doctor...! - Help!
Doctor!
- Doctor...! - Help the girl!
- Please help my girl! - Help her.
- Here. - Please help.
Doc.
Give him the medicine.
My girl's having a seizure!
Hold her!
Mahesuan.
Mahesuan...
Take my medicine.
She's going to die, take it!
- Nim! Nim! - Yes?
- Check his blood pressure! - Doc.
Let me through.
Mahesuan!
I don't want to die.
I want to get out and see my mother.
You'll make it. You're not going to die!
Soon we'll get out of here.
You'll get to see your mother soon.
Hang in there!
Mahesuan, this way!
This way, Doctor!
Doctor...
can I ask you something?
Why did Mahesuan become an outlaw?
He was framed for the murder of his wife
after trying to expose
a corrupt bureaucrat.
But what he's doing is against the law.
What if the law favours the wicked...
can we still believe in it?
It's time to redeem yourself, Khun Pan.
My gang have decided to turn ourselves in.
Mahesuan
I'm sorry. I can't do that.
Surrender
is not in my dictionary.
Mark my words...
you're sending your men to their death.
The police will keep sending men
to hunt us down.
When this team is gone
they will send another one.
And even if we could survive malaria
starvation will eventually kill us.
If we don't surrender now
they will execute us all.
We can't spend the rest of our lives
robbing people.
We're outlaws.
We've been nothing but outlaws.
That's our destiny.
After this last robbery
we'll abandon Bandit Town.
Elders, what do you think?
We'll go with Dam.
Dam...
I have one last request.
Khun Pan is very important to my plan.
Can you spare him?
Mahesuan...
you have your plan
I have mine.
Bullet-stopping Mahesuan amulet.
Powerful stuff.
It only stops the bullets
that my eyes can see.
If someone shoots me from behind, I'm out.
First Draft
The Sorcerer Lawman
Would you mind me taking a look?
I'd be honoured.
But it's not entirely factual.
I've made it a fantasy.
Upright Officer Charged
with Excessive Use of Violence
Media Puts Pressure on the State
to Solve the Case of Three Missing MPs
Righteous Khun Pan
Should Head the Investigation
Mahesuan and Dam Behind Outrageous Robbery!
MP Sa-nguan Murdered
Officers Fought and Died on Duty
Police Assign Khun Pan to the Kidnapping Case
Reiterates the Investigation is Not to Please the Media
A question here, sir.
Are you going to give up?
You've lured me out here, right?
Why did you pick me?
Because you're a symbol of justice.
The people you see here belong
to different factions.
Old men who survived malaria and raids
but who couldn't reveal themselves to the state
became bandits.
Some are students and peasants
fleeing political persecution.
Then, there are those who were born outlaws.
The Blackshirts.
Bandit Fai had brought us together
under his leadership.
But when Fai died
we split into two factions.
Some want to surrender
and some want only to be caught dead.
The Blackshirts are die-hard bandits
with lengthy rap sheets
so they can't turn their lives around.
But more than half of us
want to go back to our families.
You always said that if the bandits surrender
you'll take them in alive.
Do you still go by that rule?
Hi.
What are you doing here?
- Boss. - Why are you crying?
Sorn just went out.
He's left this for you.
I've enclosed my resignation letter
and my last chapter of The Sorcerer Lawman.
Print it, as you promised.
He also left you another package.
What is with this bloke?
Mahesuan and gang will give themselves up
to Khun Pan only
three days from now.
This is it!
This scoop will save our newspaper!
All of you will get paid
at the end of the month!
Print this first thing in the morning.
Don't miss the deadline.
Sure, Boss.
But tonight
stop working! I'm buying everyone beer!
What's your take on
Mahesuan's intention to surrender?
Mahesuan will turn himself in to Khun Pan
We have to remain cautious.
This may be just another trick in his bag.
Is the disappearance of the three politicians
involved in this development?
Do you think Mahesuan
will return the three abducted men
or do you think they're already dead?
Khun Pan has been silent on this.
Mahesuan said
he'd only surrender to Khun Pan.
What's your take on that?
We'll hold an internal meeting
and will let you know, thank you.
That'd be all for today.
We'll let you know
when we have more information.
Sir!
That's all for today.
Shit!
Sir!
A suspicious package!
Could be a bomb, sir!
Shit!
Sir, I guarantee that
everything you're watching is the truth.
All the evidence and witnesses
are extremely important.
I don't trust anyone to review it
except you alone.
I've found the three politicians here.
They're safe.
The truth is contrary to what you think.
The three politicians will testify that
these bandits are innocent.
Please revoke your order of execution.
I will bring them to justice
without any prejudice.
You once told me
about the ideology of the police.
Sir, I'm trying to uphold that ideology.
Sir, you must not listen to him.
The country is not ready.
Parliament will be thrown into chaos
if the Field Marshal steps down.
The police will feel the heat.
Can we really trust Khun Pan?
He could be working with the bandits.
You're talking about
one of the country's best police officers.
While we're getting praised by the press
he's out there
risking his life like a real officer.
Aren't you ashamed
of the stars on your shoulders?
I will help him.
Everyone, prepare for your journey.
You're going back to your beloved families.
As you all know
I can't guarantee that
my plan to surrender
will ensure our safety
or our survival.
So I want each of you to write a letter
to your loved one.
Keep the letter with you.
When your life is in danger
pass the letter to your friend.
We'll take an oath of blood.
We'll do whatever it takes
to deliver those letters to your families.
Pack your things.
Tonight will be our last night
in Bandit Town.
After we leave, we may never meet again.
You look beautiful in your doctor's coat.
It's a bit too late to court me.
May I have a dance with you?
I'm sorry
For bringing you here
and for all that you had to go through.
I'm a doctor...
Sending these people home
to their families
is the most important thing.
Thank you for trying to do the same.
For me?
Can you help us?
We're having a child.
We don't want to die here.
Really?
I promise.
(Khun Pan.)
(I trust you, sir.)
(Can you promise me?)
(I promise.)
(Thank you.)
Love you with all my heart.
Butr Pantharak.
Thank you
for letting me finish my letter first.
You knew that I came in.
You stink of opium.
Who wouldn't?
Without opium...
I would've blown my brains out
before I could do that you.
Tell me.
After you've shot me
will you be freed
from your own circle of hell?
You and I...
should burn in hell together!
Pull the trigger, Bandit Dam.
But remember
I never meant to kill your wife and child.
Forgive me.
Dad!
You're going to have a child, right?
If my daughter were alive...
she'd be the same age
as those girls out there.
Swear on your honour...
Swear on your child's life!
That...
you'll treat them with justice.
Swear it!
I swear.
Ready for the journey?
Here's your uniform.
Please keep my letter.
Mahesuan...
In case I don't make it back...
take everybody and run.
Do not give yourself up to the police.
Thank you, Khun Pan.
I hope I'll see you again out there.
Maybe we can even be friends.
Residence of The Field Marshal
Take note of the shape and the dimension.
The width is 220cm.
Go wait outside.
This file has the list
of the Blackshirts' enemies.
Recruit them all.
If they help us
we'll remove their names from the blacklist.
We're here.
See that bridge?
Go across it
and you're on your way.
Jerd.
Take good care of Chaba and your child.
Chaba.
Sir.
Is that Khun Pan?
Lord Dej Jamras
sent us to escort you to the command centre.
The engine broke down.
Government cars are lousy, sir.
Please be patient.
How long have you been with the police?
Not long, sir.
Aren't you afraid of dying?
To tell you the truth, I am, sir.
But I do what I'm ordered to do, sir.
Oh, I heard you have powerful amulets.
Haven't you, sir?
Do you have one to spare?
Where the hell is everyone? Show yourselves!
Over there.
Shit!
Sir.
Shit.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, they ordered me to do this.
Sir, I didn't mean to!
My boy is still little!
Sir, I'm sorry!
Sir, I didn't mean to!
Damn, it hit him.
Khun Pan, I didn't mean to...
I'm sorry.
Think carefully.
Don't risk your career with this move.
You... don't have to do this.
Your amulets make you invulnerable...
I have to.
I have a son. Please.
Well...
I'll make you a herbal potion.
I'm going now.
Dearest Noon
I'm so sorry
for not being there
to help you raise our child.
No matter what happens
all I want to say is
you and our child
are the most beautiful things in my life.
When I'm gone, tell him about me.
Tell him the truth
the good and the bad.
Tell him, his father was just a human being.
Everything I've done
is not for my own sake
but his.
It's my gift
to welcome him into this world.
Love you with all my heart.
A life for a life.
Butr!
Butr... Hang on.
One, two, three. Pull him up!
Let go of self
and everything around you.
When there's no self
there's no need for any protective spell.
But remember
I never meant to kill your child
or your wife.
Forgive me.
Remember this.
The newborn will save your life.
(Chanting incantation)
Bia, get him out of there.
Yes.
I pray to Rahul.
To Deva.
To Shiva.
Please descend.
Wander in all directions.
Rahul the saviour.
Use what I taught you
to protect people
until your final moment.
- Butr, put your hands together. - Hey.
Repeat after me.
(Chanting)
Divine beings force the bullet out
with buddho.
Divine beings force the bullet out
with buddho.
With thammo.
With sangkho.
Look at you...
Bandit Bai.
Thank you for saving my life.
Save your thank-you for Bandit Dam.
What?
He told me to follow you here.
You should get up and go.
Tatthep is coming this way with his men.
They're going to kill everyone in Bandit Town.
Tatthep?
How could that be?
I saw him get shot with my own eyes.
Kill them all!
Kill them all.
Goodbye, Captain.
No!
It was a setup.
He was shot
by a blank bullet.
Tatthep conspired with Chief Nome
to betray us.
I make sure my guests
are happy and well-fed
especially you
the bastard son of the Field Marshal.
I wouldn't tolerate
anything less than perfection.
Eat up.
Captain, I can help you and your men.
Will you hear my proposal?
I'm a respected officer.
I don't negotiate with scum like you.
Don't touch me!
Captain, I can be useful to you.
We can work together
to get rid of all the bandits.
If we succeed
you can tell the government
how useful I am.
Let me out!
You'll persuade them to make me a sheriff
and I'll bring
other gangs of the Central Plains
under my watch
while you become a Parliament hotshot.
As for your father's underground businesses
I will take over them all. Deal?
Deal?
- Deal. - You swear?
I swear.
Swear on your life.
- Swear on my life. - Say it!
I swear on my life!
Let me out of here!
You're relieved of your duty.
You're no longer one of my officers.
From now on
you're responsible for your own actions.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Father.
Wait.
I'll give you one last chance.
These are the names of the Blackshirts' enemies.
Recruit them.
Tell them if they help us
they'll be off the blacklist.
I want to make this look like
a score-settling between outlaw gangs.
The police want you killed.
It means
they never meant to let us live either.
They want all of us dead.
Go help him!
You too.
Like walking to the gallows.
Mahesuan is so dumb.
We wouldn't be bandits
if we were so smart. Right, brother?
I guess you're right.
Let's go.
Go.
I can trust you, can't I?
We're in the same boat now.
If I couldn't be trusted
you wouldn't be standing here.
I don't care what you're doing.
Just stand clear when I shoot.
Oh, Lord of the Worlds.
I command the four guardians of hell
to resurrect all ghosts from their graves.
(Chanting incantation)
- Hurry up. - Stay strong.
Move!
- Hurry up! - Put it together.
Go, go!
- Quickly! - This way! Quickly!
You got everything?
This way.
You got everything?
Use the small truck.
Take this, too.
(Still no movement from Khun Pan?)
(Nothing.)
Prepare to set out.
Go easy. We'll go slowly.
Be careful.
Let's start moving!
Move!
Watch out!
Take cover!
Quick!
Look out!
Hurry up!
Doc!
Hurry up! There's no time!
Go, go!
Chaba!
This way!
Come on, quickly!
Kill them all!
Go!
Shit!
Tough motherfucker!
Just die!
Kill him!
Take cover!
Hide!
Get me a towel!
How bad is it?
If we pull out the knife
she'll bleed to death.
If we don't, we can't take her with us.
Pull it out and stitch it up.
Do it.
Cloth.
Tweezers.
Clamp.
(Chanting incantation)
Cut it!
What now?
These guys aren't from the state.
They're rogue killers sent to murder us.
We have to take the wounded to safety.
Take everyone to the bunker.
- Now! - Now!
Hurry up!
- Go, go! - Hurry!
- Go! - Quickly!
- Go! - Go!
Jerd! Watch out!
- Jerd! - Jerd!
Jerd!
Get to the bunker!
Go now!
Down here!
Kill them!
Come on!
Bandits, attack!
- Go down there! Quickly! - Go!
I'll be right behind you. Just go!
Come, Doc.
Butr, come!
Go.
Quickly!
Don't let them get away!
Find them!
Look over there.
Hurry up!
Spread out!
- Hey! - What's that?
There are so many of them!
What the fuck is this?
Watch out!
It's coming!
Shoot them down!
Shoot them!
Doc!
Help!
Dam, go help them over there!
I'll take care of this shit!
Back to hell, demon!
- Follow me! - You're dead!
Kill them!
- You fucker! Let go! - You fucker!
We're out of ammo.
Elder, what now?
Let's show them our bandits' laugh!
Come here, Doctor!
I heard the bomb.
Go find them.
I'll go outside to help our men.
If those assassins get in here...
everything I've done will be for naught.
Doctor, you and everyone will get to go home.
Deliver this letter for me.
(Chanting incantation)
Take cover! I'll blow them up!
Prick!
Bai!
Bia!
Go to hell!
(Chanting incantation)
Bia, hang in there.
(Chanting incantation)
Doctor, help Bandit Dam!
Mahesuan!
This is the story of lost souls
in a time of despair and faithlessness.
The Sorcerer Lawman (Final chapter)
Power keeps changing hands.
(The end) Story by Mr Sorn
Politicians stuff themselves
like hungry ghosts.
Siamese Sky - Young-Blooded Politicians
Some idealists keep the fight going
though they know they'll never win.
A few days before the censure debate
something happened and made
the front page of every newspaper.
Anonymous armed men
silenced those people along with the truth.
The Blackshirts dispersed
and quit their lawless way.
Nearly all of them returned to their families.
Some vanished without a trace.
So the letter has been delivered?
Some returned to their loved ones.
And some keep wandering
without a destination.
Hear me out, good folks!
Our company believes in good virtue
because it's something that never dies!
Life needs insurance.
- Life is uncertain. - Stop.
- I surrender. - Don't sit around waiting.
Let Thai Life Insurance take care of you
from the depths of our hearts.
The sky remains dark
and the country has no future.
People still look for a sign of hope.
Someone who never bends his knees
before injustice.
They're waiting for him to return.
Help!
Help! I'm being robbed!
Go, I'll watch our son.
