400 years ago, Queen Hijau ruled Langkasuka with formidable strength.
But neighboring states, rebel groups and marauding bands of pirates
were determined on conquering her wealthy territory.
In 1593, a Dutch weapon master Janis Bree traveled to Langkasuka
with his Chinese apprentice the genius inventor called Lim Kium.
They were delivering the Great Cannons to Queen Hijau
to be used to defend her country.
But the Dutch vessel was hijacked by pirates led by Black Raven
a ruthless bandit who has mastered Du Lum sorcery.
Black Raven tried unsuccessfully to steal the Great Cannons.
The ship was blown to bits and Janis Bree was killed.
The cannons sunk into the depths of the sea.
Kium
let me try it.
No, you're too young.
That's even better, because I'm light.
I can take off with no trouble.
I won't risk it.
If something happens to you,
Anjar would kill me.
Your uncle is scarier than a shark.
Come on kids, help me get this thing up.
Whoa!
Look, I'm flying!
That's awesome!
Look! A bird with a broken wing!
Grow some feathers if you want to fly!
Today I have a new invention to show you kids.
What is it?
I call them...
frog feet.
Frog feet?
Yes, I believe this new invention of mine
will help you swim like a real fish.
Follow me if you want to try.
Bintang, what's wrong?
Here. I went down to the sea floor to get it for you.
Presenting the honorable envoys from Japan.
Jarang. What are you doing here?
Father.
I won the contest and was promoted to be the royal bodyguard.
You've been in Ayutthaya too long.
You're still young but you're having such a bright career.
If your mother were here she would be so proud.
For me, to serve Langkasuka
is the greatest honor of my life.
I'm sure you feel the same.
Presenting the honorable envoys from Aden.
Get the princesses out!
Salem!
Bilung!
Uncle Anjar, where are we going?
What's that sound?
Pari, hurry up.
Come.
Anjar.
Pari, pay respects to the Master.
Is this Arus's son?
His name is Pari, Arus and his wife...
I know.
Why did you bring him here?
To ask you to train him in the arts of Du Lum.
The boy has the same quality as you.
He was born on the sea he can speak through his stomach.
Even if he could speak with his feet it'd be pointless.
Du Lum wizardry isn't meant for violent killing.
But somebody must stop Black Raven.
He's been terrorizing the sea people for far too long.
You kill one Black Raven
only to create another Black Raven.
- But... - Anjar...
forget about revenge.
Teach him to love,
not to hate.
Just train him in the basic Du Lum
to help him get by as a fisherman.
-Master... -What?
I heard something howling.
It's the howl of darkness.
The howl of darkness?
Yes...
If you practice Du Lum with the fire of hatred
darkness will scream inside your soul.
If White Ray refuses to teach you
I'll do it myself.
But the old man said that practicing Du Lum will condemn me
to hear the howl of darkness.
Pari, you'll learn the virtuous arts of Du Lum.
You'll need it to fight the evil man.
Who's he?
Black Raven.
We're lucky to have stopped the poison from spreading.
But the scar on his face...
That's not a problem
as long as he lives.
The Queen has arrived!
Don't worry, Lord Jaring.
This country is indebted to your son's courage.
I won't let his sacrifice go to waste.
Prince Rawai will pay for this dearly.
Du Lum sorcery consists of 3 major levels and 9 sub-levels.
The first 3 levels I'm going to teach you
will help you distinguish different sounds made
by different kinds of fish.
You'll be able to read the weather the temperature, the humidity,
the water currents and the wind.
You'll sense the connection between the fish and the climate.
And you'll read the minds of fish.
You'll be able predict the currents and to locate schools of fish.
The fish will also tell you when the rain is coming.
In the next 3 levels, you'll be able to produce a special sound of Du Lum
that can command fish to do what you want them to.
Even to attack your enemy.
Your mind will connect with that of the fish.
But to communicate with all sea creatures
you have to be trained in the advanced techniques.
Only Master White Ray can teach you that
A school of Lamachin fish is over there.
Bintang...
this is for you.
Pari...
Thank you for saving me back there.
They almost got me.
Did you build this strange boat?
Yes, and those strange weapons too.
We secretly built this boat a while back
To ambush and kill Black Raven's pirates
But too bad we still can't get close to the man himself.
Let me join you.
One day I'll get rid off all these sea gypsy pests!
Calm down.
We can shoot 2 birds with one stone.
What's your plan, Prince?
Even though we still can't retrieve the Great Cannons
we can strengthen the army by gathering all pirates of the sea
and making them our allies.
Our plan will become much easier.
And why do you think the pirates would want to work with us?
Apparently...
Langkasuka is not capable of
building a cannon of great firepower.
We must find a new cannon master as soon as possible.
Why act in such haste?
We have no wars to fight.
Haji Kadir,
as long as Prince Rawai is still alive
we cannot let our guard down.
I can't believe we wouldn't be able to find
a skilled cannon master in our great kingdom.
Tuk Rahman, do you have something to say
The Chinese apprentice of the cannon master Janis Bree lives in Langkasuka.
Really?
What's his name?
Lim Kium.
Where did you get this information?
A few days ago I took the Dutch envoy out for drinks.
He got drunk and told me that he was a survivor from when the pirates
hijacked the Dutch vessel that carried the Great Cannons.
Another survivor is Lim Kium.
The envoy said he's now living in the fishing village of Ledah.
Find this Lim Kium.
If he's working for the rebels, kill him
Or if he refuses to join us kill him anyway.
Ungu, I'm starting to fear for your future husband.
What beautiful skill!
You certainly live up to your reputation
Who are you to dare enter the royal grounds?
I'm a guest of your queen.
And you return our hospitality by disrupting my practice.
Please forgive me.
Who are you?
I am Abdul Kafur Mohaidin.
The Prince of Pahang.
Ungu.
You're due to be engaged in 2 days
and you will be married by next year.
No man would want a wife who carries a crossbow around.
As if I'm dying to get married.
Prince of Pahang has arrived.
I fear that he'll change his mind when he meets you.
He's already met Ungu.
And I've already chased him away.
That's not funny, Ungu.
Langkasuka has no al lies
and Pahang's friendship is very important to us.
That's it?
That's why you have to marry me off?
Lord Nakorn Srithammarat and the Sultan of Songkhla
are sizing us up and ready to invade.
And Prince Rawai is ganging up with Black Raven and the pirates.
We're surrounded by enemies.
Do you really need more reasons?
Congratulations, Lord Vandeveer.
Your Voc Company at Battavia is
expanding its trade activities very fast
I'm very grateful for Langkasuka's help
Indeed the regional trade will see even brighter future
if the Dutch enjoys the right as a sole trader.
Sir Vandeveer
A meal wouldnˇ¦t be so appetizing if you eat it alone, wouldn't it?
The envoy...
I hope you find your room comfortable.
It is very comfortable indeed.
Thank you for your hospitality Princess Biru.
This is Miss Lim
the daughter of a merchant in Guang Zhou
She traveled with me from China.
Miss Lim.
Is this your first trip to Langkasuka?
Yes, your majesty.
I came with the envoy to look for my brother.
Your brother lives here?
Yes.
He's been living here for several years.
His name is Lim Kium.
Lim Kium, Janis Bree's apprentice?
Yes.
I've promised my mother to bring him back home with me.
If I can't find him I can't go back to face her.
We also want to meet your brother.
Can you take us to him?
Yes, your majesty.
Langkasuka has found the paths to the cannon expert.
More than one person actually survived the attack, like you expected.
What's more important is the fact that
Langkasuka is forming an alliance with Pahang.
When the 2 kingdoms are united
our job will be more difficult.
It's time we show them
the strength of our own friends.
Who do you think should carry out the mission?
The Japanese pirates.
The Wako.
Prince, get out of here!
Pari, now I belong to you.
May I introduce the envoy from Songkhla.
Presenting Lord Farus Mogul the envoy from Songkhla.
This is the gift from our Sultan Suleiman.
Presenting Lord Harid Fami the envoy from Jahor.
Search the ship.
I'll look inside.
Anjar!
Kium!
Go!
-Where are you going? -Go!
Go down!
Move! Go!
Stop! Or the old man dies!
Kium, kill this one for me!
The Cannon...
Kium.. lining.. linging now!
Master...
Go!
Bintang!
Please accept my apology.
I've sent Biru and Ungu on an urgent mission.
So they're not here to say farewell to you.
I'll inform you without delay
when we've set the date of the wedding.
Thank you for your kindness.
The monsoon season is approaching.
I need to head home.
Farewell, your majesty.
I'd like to express my gratitude for your son's bravery.
Thank you for your kindness.
A gypsy warrior?
You shouldn't have dragged innocent people into this mess.
Anyway, thanks to you
I've had the good chance to taste the women from your village.
I must say they all taste rather nice.
A fearless fighter?
You'll meet your wife in hell!
There's only one injured man in the whole village.
And those dead bodies don't look like the natives.
Let Miss Kium take a look.
Pari...
All these years
I've only wanted to avenge my master's death.
I never thought my arrogance would bring death
to my brothers in the village.
I don't have a heart to think about anything else now.
You have my sympathy, Master Lim.
Their deaths won't be in vain
if you agree to help us build a cannon.
In the past many years
I have always helped you by ambushing Black Raven pirates.
I don't want any more blood on my hands than I already have.
Do I have a choice?
Think about it carefully.
If you refuse, I'll have to ask you
to go back to China with your sister.
What a catch!
Princesses, you should be honored that I'm here to escort you.
Take them to the ship.
Quick!
Take them away.
Throw them in jail!
Who are you?
I'm Jarang, from Langkasuka.
Thank you.
You are...
Lord Jarang.
We have to go, princesses!
Pari, run!
They won't kill me. Save the others first.
Quick!
- We have to run, princess. - Ungu!
This way.
-Princess, please hurry up. -And Ungu?
You have to go now, we don't have time!
My wife's poisoned dart failed to kill you.
Now I'm going to kill you with my own hands!
Lord Jarang.
Black Raven!
Ungu!
We've lost her.
I'm not going to lose you too!
There! Shoot him!
