01x06 - Cracks Beneath The Starlight

[bunniefuu]

I'm sorry for the trouble
earlier, Comrade Roong.

Especially now that Comrade Fah has forbidden
anyone from entering or leaving the base.

But that household is in serious condition.

That's why we had to ask you to come help.

It's alright. The villagers'
lives are what matter most.

If there's any problem,
I'll speak with Comrade Fah myself.

Um... Comrade Roong.

We'd better go this way.

There are too many people that way.
Someone might see us.

If we go this way,
we won't run into Comrade Fah either.

Ever since Comrade Ploeng died,

the base has felt so quiet and lonely.

How has Comrade Bai Tong been lately?

She barely ate the food I gave her.

Comrade Gaun Hin.

Where are you going?

Oh, I'm taking documents for the courier-

-to deliver for printing in the city.

Go and come back quickly.

Be careful.

Comrades

we caught the person who k*lled Ploeng.

Comrades.

Comrades, we caught the
person who k*lled Ploeng.

"When Light Fades"
[Episode 6]

Dan.

Answer whatever I ask.

Because if you talk,

you won't have to get hurt.

Mm.

Comrade Fah! Comrade Fah!

Comrade Fah.

Comrade Fah.

Comrade Roong is gone.

Since when?

Yang Sue said
a villager was in critical condition

and urgently needed medicine.

So Roong rushed out right away.

I told her to stay inside the base.

And where is Yang Sue now?

The villagers said he left
with the cabbage truck

before sunrise.

And now Comrade Roong is missing.

Don't tell anyone yet.

I don't want the people
in the village to panic.

Whoa...

that was close.

Just now, Comrade Yue seemed to turn
and look this way too.

I'm not sure if he saw us or not.

Sorry, I lost myself for a second.

This guy...

he's probably the one
who k*lled Comrade Ploeng.

You know him too?

Yes.

He was my neighbor when I was a kid.

Doesn't matter how you know him.

You'd better stay away from him.

You might get dragged into it too.

Hey, Comrade Saeng.

Don't even think about
going to see Dan, Comrade Saeng.

Go on, get going.

What brings you here, Comrade?

Or do you need some medicine?

I came to get supplies
to treat the prisoner's g*nsh*t wound.

Get them ready for me.

Yes.

And...

Are you going to
remove the b*llet yourself?

Would you like me to do it for you?

It's alright.

I'll take it out myself.

Comrade Yue.

Comrade Ying.

I came to speak with you about-

-my mother's condition for a moment.

How is she?

Has she gotten any better?

We got medicine from the base,

so we've managed to keep her stable.

It's done.

Has he admitted yet that he was
the one who k*lled Comrade Ploeng?

Not yet.

A son of a high-ranking
military officer like you.

Why would you choose to be stationed here?

What do you want?

Getting yourself captured like this...

Was it your plan?

Comrade Roong's disappearance...

That was because of you too, wasn't it?

Whatever you're hoping for,

you won't get your way.

You still don't know

who's going to be disappointed.

Vin.
Dan.

How did you end up here?

I came here on purpose.

I wanted to see you, Vin.

Aunt La-Or feels the same.

She misses you so much that
she's fallen sick many times.

She told me

to bring you home no matter what.

But it's not that easy, Dan.

It's not that hard, Vin.

Just say the word,

and I'll take you out myself.

Worry about saving yourself first.

Get up.

Hey! Let go of Vin!

Stay out of this.

Don't touch my people.

Vin.

Can I have five minutes? Just five minutes.

Five minutes?

That could get you k*lled.

What if someone else sees?

Have you thought about that?

Hey!

What were you doing in there?

Treating the prisoner's wound.

I forgot something inside.

Where is it then?

It wasn't there.

I dropped it somewhere else.

Then why did you come together?

And what rule says two people can't come together?

What are you to that soldier?

He was a neighbor.

We knew each other when we were kids.

But he moved away
when I was still in primary school.

We never spoke again after that.

He's like an older brother.

But this one isn't.

Promise me

you won't go see that soldier again.

If anyone finds out,
it'll be very dangerous.

Let me help you then.

Get this over with.

May I hold your hand?

Who is Aunt La-Or?

My mother.

There's still a lot about
you that I don't know.

Not knowing isn't a problem.

We still have our whole lives together.

I will tell you little by little,
and you can teach me too.

Everything I know, I've already taught you.

Except this... You still
have a lot to teach me.

Pack up quickly.

I just found out-

-that grinding stones and
mixing them with honey

can make a color like this.

If I put this on for Father to see,

he'd definitely say I look cute.

Comrade Ploeng hasn't gone far at all.

He only changed where he lives—

now he lives in Comrade Bai Tong's heart.

And you still have us,
you have Comrade Saeng,

and all the comrades beside you too.

What are you doing here?

Where is it?

Comrade Fah,

stop right now!

Don't take my father's things!

Hey!
Don't take them!

Bai Tong!

- Don't!
- Hey!

This is not Comrade Ploeng's.

This belongs to the Party.

And what is this, huh?

That's enough, Comrade Fah.

Wearing makeup and doing hair like this...

It looks like discipline is gone now.

If I see it again, I won't let it slide.

In what capacity are you saying that?

You're not the leader of the base.

Comrade Ploeng would
never threaten anyone like this.

Sila.

Mada.

Ravin.

Chai Chan.

Police Lieutenant...

Rapee Chai Chan.

I knew it.

Comrade Fah.

I just got word from Comrade Roong.

What is it?

Comrade Roong was captured by the soldiers.

They sent word saying--

that they want to exchange hostages.

Go get Comrade Yue
to the meeting right now.

What in the actual f*ck?

You and Comrade Yue take control of them.

Have armed men ready.

Lock down the area.

If they try anything dishonest,

we'll be ready to strike back.

Everything must be finished tonight.

Why?

You have a problem?

I'll take care of it.

Wait.

You and Comrade Saeng

seem a little too close, don't you think?

Tell me then—what should I do?

Ravin ChaiChan.

Police Lieutenant Rapee ChaiChan
Mrs. La-Or Chai Chan.

I'm going to take this all the way.

Hey, where are you?

Hey!

Where's your boss?

- Bring your boss out here to talk to me!
- Stop, stop! Hey!

This b*stard right here!

Stop!

You know what?

Because of you, our fathers
died in prison for nothing.

They never even got a
chance to prove a damn thing.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey, come out here and talk to me!

Watch your mouth, kid.

The lower court ruled that
your fathers were guilty.

Why blame the police?

How can you say that?

And if the court overturns it and says-

-my father was innocent,

how are you going to take responsibility?

The evidence was clear at the time,
so I had to do my duty.

You b*stard!

What the hell did you
just say, you b*stard?!

Argh!

Let me go! Let go! Let go!

Get him out of here.

Hey, stop!

This isn't over, b*stard! This is not over!

I'll get you back.

Go!

I'll handle it myself.

How are you going to handle it? Tell me.

Why the hell isn't he here yet?

This is taking forever.

If we k*ll him, how are
we any different from him?

I don't care whether
we're different or not.

I only care that he pays for it.

I'll get rid of them all.

Why are you chickening out now?

He's here!

Ready?

Wait... I'm not doing this
anymore. Let's go back.

If you won't do it, I will.

You...

Argh!

Go to hell!

Sin!

You!

Don't hurt my friend!

Don't hurt my friend!

Aagh! Aagh! Aagh!

Sin! Sin! Sin! Look at me!

Look at me, Sin!

Sin, look at me!

Run!

Run!

Run! Go!

Go!

Go!

Sin!

Or do you want him to find out

that you and I k*lled his father,

and wait for him to come after us?

I'm telling you,

we should nip it in the bud.

Nop.

Whether you want to
be the leader of the base

or whatever else you want to do,

I don't care.

But this matter...

Let me handle it myself.

Hey!

What's wrong with you?

Why did you hurt yourself?

Are you so jealous that
you ended up crying?

Why are you acting like a child?

I had a small argument with Comrade Fah.

It's nothing.

Come on, I'll treat your wound.

Go back first.

I'll follow after you.

When you get out,

don't ever come back here again.

Whether I come back or not, I don't know.

But I'm definitely taking
my person with me.

Does Vin know

that he belongs to you?

Anything that's in the wrong place

doesn't stay there for long.

If fooling yourself makes
you happy, then go ahead.

Why are you sleeping here?

I was worried.

Did you have a serious
fight with Comrade Fah?

Go get some sleep.

I took this from the medical hut.

I need to hurry and return it.

Come here.

Even now, you're still shy?

Did you ever feel so happy--

that you're afraid it'll end badly?

People either part while
alive... or part by death.

And we never know when we'll part.

If we spend all our time being afraid

until we can't do anything at all,

wouldn't it be more regretful

if we never tried with all our heart?

Then what should I do?

You have to keep collecting
happiness little by little.

Like this—

I'm doing it right now.

That's enough.

And you don't need to be jealous of
that soldier anymore.

I love only this person.

The m*rder*r is coming.

I'm sorry.

Go tell Vin

that the person who
loves him is waiting outside.

You're alright, aren't you?

What did that soldier say just now?

Did you get what he said?

Oh, Comrade Saeng, how did you get here?

So?

When did it start?

Can you please not tell anyone?

I don't want Comrade Saeng

to get into trouble because of me.

The good thing about
being a courier, Comrade,

is first of all,

I run everywhere in the forest,

outside the forest, and in the city.

I meet all kinds of people everywhere.

Whether it's couples with an age gap
and things like that,

or men who like men,
women who like women...

I honestly don't think there's
anything strange about it.

And...

do you despise it, Comrade?

I think it's simply about
two people loving each other.

There's nothing ugly about it.

So what now?

Anything to say?

Do you love each other that much, huh?

Wow... seeing Comrade Yue blush like this,

I can die with my eyes closed now.

I'm off.

Hurry and catch up.

Comrade Phu Pha.

Dan.

Father.

How did you get here?

Whatever you're
planning to do, just tell me.

Is that so hard?

If...

If I had told you I was going in there
to become a hostage,

would you have let me go?

And what were you doing in there?

Helping the students.

There are students in the
jungle all over the country.

But you deliberately
chose to go to that base.

Does this have anything
to do with the information.

I asked you to investigate before?

Um... no, it's not related, Father.

As for Baan Saeng Dao Base,

it's the base closest to
the main headquarters.

If this place falls, the
rest will collapse too.

I just wanted to-

-settle things properly, that's all.

Don't think about attacking anymore.

Right now, the higher-ups have a policy

to bring the students back in.

Bring the students back?

Yes.
I mean...

Does that mean we're
not going to fight anymore?

Yes.

The leaders have realized-

-that chasing each other like this

is the same as k*lling our own children
and grandchildren.

Bringing them back out of the forest

will make them useful to the nation.

Why are you making dots
like that, Comrade Saeng?

I'm not a spotted deer.

A spotted deer or a cat?

Then do it properly, Comrade Saeng.

Stay still. I'll fix it.

Comrade Bai Tong's
flower crown is finished.

How is it? Look in the mirror.

So pretty.

Of course. Cause I made it.

What are you doing?

The order appointing the
new base leader has arrived.

I feel greatly honored

to be trusted with
taking care of this base.

And I promise that
everything will remain the same.

But some loose matters may be adjusted-

-to better follow the rules.

And the rules begin now!

When the leader is speaking,
everyone should listen,

not turn and look elsewhere.

And I'd like two or three comrades

to help me move Comrade Ploeng's

belongings from the house.

Because I'll likely-

-be moving in there

as required by the position.

I'll speak on behalf of Comrade Bai Tong.

Comrade Bai Tong has
lived there since birth.

And?

If she gets moved out now,

Comrade Bai Tong
won't be able to handle it.

That's right.

Let Comrade Bai Tong rest first.

Let her recover emotionally first.

No.
It must be now.

- Why?
- Damn it.

You really meddle too much.

You two, follow me.

Now.

Hey!

You two, move everything out.

Don't leave a single piece behind. Go!

Don't take my father's things!

- Hey!
- No!

- No! Where are you taking my father's things?!
- Bai Tong.

Don't take my father's things!

Hey!

Don't take anything away!

Let go!

Bai Tong!

You won't even spare a child, huh?

You really love meddling
in my business, don't you?

This is already more than enough.

Don't make this a bigger deal.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Got a problem? Huh?

Bai Tong!

Aah! You little brat!

Wearing makeup and fixing your hair like-

-this is against Party rules, understand?

Son of a b*tch!
Bai Tong!

Ouch!

- Bai Tong!
- Sin.

If you don't stop right now,

you'll see.

You...

Am I pretty, Father?

Wow...

very pretty, my dear.

But you know

you can't wear flowers like
that and go walking outside.

But why, Father?

I can let only Comrade Ying see it.

If every woman comrade here
wanted to be pretty like you,

and wanted to wear flowers like you,
every one of them,

what do you think would happen?

If all the women comrades

picked flowers to wear every day,

then there wouldn't be
any flowers left, right?

That's true.

Flowers...

they're useful because they're beautiful.

And they have other uses too.

But here,

I see them as something unnecessary.

Bai Tong, my child.

I want you to be a good example

to the women comrades here.

Live simply,

and not extravagantly.

You understand me, don't you?

Then I'll pick flowers from the ground-

-and wear them only for Father.

That's my girl.

Very good.

Very good for
understanding things so easily.

You hit me that hard...

you really hate me that much, don't you?

I only asked what you
two are to each other.
