The Jaturungkabart
were sworn to protect the mighty royal elephants.
Why? Elephants are so big,
who could hurt them?
The king sits on top of them
So they must beware of things from below.
Beware of what, Dad?
If they lost their swords,
they would use their bodies as weapons.
Throw, Crush, Grab and Break.
What do they need to be careful of?
I cannot tell you yet.
But I'm going to be a Jaturungkabart, I have to know.
Not yet, Kham.
One day you will know.
Splash him, son, splash him.
Come on, splash him. Splash him all over, son.
Splash him, son, splash him.
Por Yai, you're so naughty! Dad, look at him.
How was it? Was Por Yai up to his old tricks again?
Why did Por Yai do that to you?
Oh! Splash him, come on.
Dad. I'm here.
Father. Father. Father. Where's Por Yai going?
Oh, let him go, son.
Pull... Pull... Pull it tight... Lasso it.
Come on, pull.
Pull it.
If I ever had the chance to present Por Yai to the King...
...it would be biggest honor of my life. At the very least
it would mean that I upheld the name of the Jaturungkabart.
Korn,
- I have something to show you. - Nice, nah.
Reckon this Songkran Water Festival is going to be fun
Mr. Suthep is taking care of everything. He's throwing a huge party.
His son's now a member of government, so we can get some juice.
Koi, I heard they are going to check the elephants for royal status.
Aren't you going to take your elephants, to see if they're in with a chance?
This could be a great opportunity for you. There's no reason to worry.
Mr. Koi, this way, please.
Hello. Welcome.
Dad. They're here.
Please, come inside. Everything's ready.
Wait outside, for a while.
Your father should go in alone.
This is Supoj, a friend of mine.
Hello, sir.
He takes care of this place. He will take care of everything for you.
Young man, would you like a bell for your elephant?
- Do you want one for your elephant? - It's for good luck.
- How much is this one? - That one is 40 Baht. It's not expensive.
Buy a bell for your elephant and get good luck.
Thank you, sir.
That's lovely.
Let's go.
- Bring it here. - Wait! Wait!
You can go back home and wait there. I will let you know what happens later.
Move it. Come on.
Come on. Quickly.
Come on... Come on...
You can't take him.
He hate it.
Force it to go.
- I said you can't take him. - You old fart.
Move it. Quickly.
Look elephants.
Didn't you see the truck?
Father...
Father... What happened, father?
- Father. - Kham.
Check on Por Yai.
Move it.
I said move!
Hey!
Who the hell are you?
Do you want my foot in your mouth?
Go on.
Get him.
Go get him.
My teeth!
Wait for me.
Where are Por Yai and Korn?
- Where are they? - I don't know.
- You don't know? You don't know? - Johnny.
Johnny took them.
Where is he?
Father! Shoot! Shoot him!
You're hurting me.
Come on. Quickly.
Move it.
<Sydney 2 Weeks Later
While the NGOs were gathering to protest the transfer of Thai elephants to Sydney.
There is a report that the elephant was stolen and Mr. Wittaya Thammarat
the owner of a well known local Thai restaurant Tom Yum Goong OTOP has been killed.
Wittaya was involved with a Chinese mafia gang
and many illegal activities that can lead to business conflicts with them.
R the missing elephant, there is no report or confirmation
from the authorities at the moment if this connects to the murder case.
The best way to enrich this elephant's environment is
to put it with other elephants ...so that it can live with its family.
We don't want the elephant in Australia. The elephant belongs in Thailand.
Reporters have asked the Thai Consulate for more information about the incident.
Thailand do have a very strict law
for the protection and conservation of elephant.
At first we thought that the given of elephants to the zoo...
is done by donation for public use.
We later found out that there are criminal activities behind the scenes.
And this is the main Asian market in downtown Sydney.
Most of the people here are Asian, Chinese, Thai, Vietnam
and Laos
So officers here need to understand Asian's way.
This is how I do my job. It's important to stay mates, friends with the people.
What beautiful mangoes.
- Hello. How are you? - They look lovely.
- How much? - Do you want some? Take some.
Take them. It's no problem.
Are you sure?
Well O.K. Then. Can I take two more?
Thank you very much.
This just the way we do things here.
Being Asian in foreign place,
need to stick together, like a family.
Sure thing, luv. I'll be there in two shakes. Why?
Do you miss me?
Wow... ow...
Take it easy, baby. I give you a kiss first ok?
Okay?
I love you, bye.
Hey! Just in time.
This is my new partner Rick.
He's just a young energetic kind of bloke.
A little less hard working than I am.
Hey, lighten up, mate. There's no work right now.
Using public services is part of our job as police officer.
You know? To serve and protect.
You look like you're constipated or something.
Sergeant Mark, there is robbery at a Minimart on Burwood Street
Why did you call the police?
What am I supposed to do?
Don't come in.
I'll blow their guts out!
Apparently the robber is a teenager.
Only the shop owner and his wife are... in... the... shop...
Alright! Listen up!
- I want you to drop your weapon. - Rick, No no no.
Leave him to me.
Hey... Hey hey hey hey. Take it easy, let's talk,
Okay?
Hey, Tui. You stupid prick.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
How did you know, Sarge?
You idiot. With a face like that, Put the damn gun down.
- Put it down! - Stay away.
- If you come any closer, I'll shoot. - Shoot me if you want.
But don't forget your mother. When she gets here, you're in deep shit.
Don't lie to me, my mom isn't here.
She is. Look behind you!
Stop... Stop...
Hey... Hey...
Come on. Imbecile.
It's been just another day.
Anyway, enough fun for now OK, bye.
Excuse me Mark, can I have another question please?
Go on, run. Don't be such a whimp.
You idiot.
How could you do that, Sarge?
- It's against procedure. - No use arresting a young junkie mate...
- Yeah, but we should go by the rules. - Put a sock in it!
Don't you know? Forget it.
You idiot! Go! Go! Go! Let's go.
Shit!
When did that happen?
Why aren't you working?
When are you gonna pay your boyfriend's debt,
Wittaya? Remember him?
- Or you wanna die like him? - I know. I can pay.
You know you can pay?
How the hell you gonna pay?
Thai students are only allowed 2 jobs here,
One you can be a waitress
or you can be a call girl.
What can you do, hah?
You've got 2 weeks, that's it!
Thai Mahouts have expressed a concern about the boycott from NGOs.
F the NGOs truly understood the elephant situation here
then they wouldn't be so against us.
From all the exits to the meeting room,
Guards have been placed at every 10 meters.
Uncle, I have arranged everything for you.
I've hired Sydney's top chef to make Abalone soup,
I hope everyone will enjoy it. Especially you, Uncle.
You should have some more of it. This is good for your health
It will keep you strong. With good health,
you'll be able to look after the family business forever.
Are you sure this is Abalone?
It's bland, there's no aroma and no sweetness.
It tastes like earthworms
You know earthworms, right?
Slithering insects which have 2 genders...
without being either.
Understand?
So what about it, Rose?
If you can't even provide proper food for me,
how do you expect to protect me?
For security, it's better to let Cheng handle it.
I think this is better.
When your father was alive, Cheng was in charge.
What you do shows
no respect to our clients.
We are negotiating with
representatives of the government.
If we unite with them our business will grow rapidly.
Concentrate on the restaurant I gave you.
That's enough responsibility for you, Rose.
That stupid old man made me lose face in front of everyone.
You don't need to be angry; or impatient.
You already have this, don't you?
I think this new fate of mine will
finally rid me of that old man.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, nice to meet you too, yeah, yeah.
Sorry... Sorry... Sorry
Hey G'day, mate.
Where's a pretty boy like you from?
Next question... Where we goin'?
Oh you're up early... ok right ahead.
TOM YUM GOONG, Yeah I know this place great food, beautiful girls, too.
Tell me something, did you get into this country legally or illegally?
Change of plan!
Hang on!
Come on! Yeah!
Look at him, look at him... He's good for nothing...
2 suspects in white taxi number T51771, requesting officers back up
I'm on it.
A tricycle is faster than this.
Stop here!
- Is that the best you can do? - I'm trying.
God, you drive like a pensioner.
SHIT! C'mon boy, Get out of the car.
Get out of the car now. Get away from me.
You come any closer, he's dead, you hear me?
- Keep away from me - Hey Jimmy. Calm down.
Calm down... Let's talk. Ok?
TALK. I don't wanna talk.
Just get away. HEY! Can't you hear me? PISS OFF...
Hey
I'll shoot the little bastard.
I'll shoot him! I'm gonna count to 3
Stop!
What are you doing?
Hey, I'll shoot him. Piss off!
Now go get him.
I said go get him.
I didn't do anything wrong.
I will handle this.
Vincent didn't have to shoot him.
Don't you think he went a bit too far?
Jimmy was no ordinary thief.
I know him well.
And this guy was not with him.
- How do you know? - I don't,
I just have a hunch.
What are you doing here?
Oh! Are you Thai?
I'm speaking Thai. Do you think I'm Burmese?
Did you come to Sydney to break the law?
I've come here to find Por Yai and my little brother.
- You're looking for your relatives? - Yes.
- What do they look like? - Like elephants.
Elephants?
Who's like an elephant in Thaitown?
Come on. Let's talk about this back at my office.
<Tom yang goom
Mark.
Hello. How's it going, Goong?
Are your clients keeping you busy?
Not really. You never visit my restaurant.
There's a new promotion on. Special price at lunchtime.
I'll go if I have time.
It's a Thai Restaurant. Tom-Yum-Goong is Thai food.
So, why did they hire a Vietnamese guy like Johnny?
- Johnny. - Shut up!
O.K. See you later.
- See you. - Work hard.
I said shut up. Be quiet!
What's up?
- Follow that car! Quickly! - Quiet down! Quiet down!
Those are the people that took Por Yai and Korn.
Don't say that. You can't accuse someone without any evidence.
I have a photo, but it's in the taxi.
Don't waste my time. We'll talk at the station.
Hey!
Stop or I'll shoot.
You've gotta see the secretary
Johnny, Where are my elephants?
Where are my elephants?
He's asking for his elephants.
Johnny! Give me back my elephants.
We are both Thais. So, I'll warn you.
Don't get involved with them.
This is top quality.
Kill him.
Shit.
- Do you think this is a game? - What are you doing?
James!
GOD!
Make sure he's dead.
The Thai government Is trying to resolve the issue
of elephants wandering around Bangkok streets.
Ordering the evacuation of the Pachyderms out of the capital.
What should I do with the two of you?
You lost the suspect.
And managed to cause all that ruckus on the road.
I'm taking you both off the case. It's being assigned to someone else.
As of now, the two of you can help Inspector Vincent.
Aren't you being slightly...
I'm not arguing with you.
I didn't expect you to start acting like Mark.
We'd had a report from Area 3 about drugs and an Asian shoot out.
Everyone's fled the scene.
There is evidence that needs to be collected.
I don't understand why that area is so buggered up.
The area that you, Mark, are so proud to protect.
Where is Jimmy's body?
God.
And the evidence?
Just look. Don't take anything.
I know.
You're an ugly son of a bitch.
OK. Thanks
A Thai man with a red scarf?
What did we lose?
The lot.
We've also lost our dealer.
Who'll want to so business with us after this mess?
Get the hell out of here...
- Do you want me to? - Just get out!
Alright,
I got it.
I know. I'll leave now.
Kings sit upon the elephants.
Vital areas are underneath.
Enemies aim for those areas.
Soldiers protect the 4 most vital areas of the elephants.
What are the vital areas, Dad?
One day you will know, Kham.
At the scene of the crime, police have found a passport belonging to the suspect,
Who the authorities believe he was involved in the drug deal
The suspect was seen wearing a red scarf.
If anyone has seen this man please contact the police immediately.
Alright. Let me get back to you on that.
Bye, thank you.
To our success.
Come in.
My... my... medicine
GO, GO!!
What are you doing?
Tui.
What the hell are you doing?
He forced me to do it, Sarge. I...
What? What the hell?
Rick.
What's up, Senior Constable?
You're not familiar with your new gun?
Take him!
He and this Thai boy that killed the Secretary General.
Bring him back.
Mike, go over there.
Jason, go with him. Come. Go right here
. Boss, he's gone.
We searched around, one girl is missing.
Find her.
It's disgusting. People who buy pirate DVD.
Don't do it again!
