Edge of the Empire Page #4

We must fight back.

What are you talking about?

I know we can beat them.

You are better with a sword than any of them.

Guchin has the strength of an elephant.

The Thai are strong fighters.

Why don't we unite and fight them?

I want to fight them.

- But we don't have any weapons.

- Ler City doesn't have any weapons.

But there are weapons

in the other Thai settlements.

Tonight take Guchin and go to Chiangsair.

Their chief is a friend of our father.

He's bound to help us.

What about you?

Open the door!

I'll look after things here.

Promise me you'll follow me there.

Promise me!

I promise.

Search everywhere.

Hurry. Go now

Go!

Go on!

Spread out!

Where's your brother?

He's in hell

He's in hell

And you'll join him there soon.

Is this the little savage who has been hiding

the murderers who killed my wife

Not only that, Uncle,

She's been sleeping with a Han soldier.

So this little hussy has a liking

for more civilized flesh, does she

Very well.

I will give you a taste of happiness

before you go to hell!

Let me go!

Order all Thais

to assemble at the town centre.

- Let me go!

- Light a fire under the cauldron

and fill it with water

- Let me go!

- I want her boyfriend to see this as well.

I want him to see something

he will never forget!

- But. Sir...

- Go! Get on with it!

You savages had better listen.

This slave didn't know her place.

She dared to cavort

with a Han way beyond her status.

And she hid the murderers

who killed my wife.

Since she likes playing with fire

now I'll show her the real thing!

Don't!

You know my little savage,

I am not a cold-hearted man.

If the heat of the water

teaches you to accept your guilt,

you may beg me for mercy.

Just swear that you will never

disobey my command again.

Thai people, listen to what I say.

This Han calls us savages.

But it was our ancestors

who created this city from a wilderness.

The Hans created a nation

by stealing the land from us.

They made us their slaves.

I ask you,

which of us deserves to be called savages?

Stop the fire.

Don't, don't!

I am about to be released

from my suffering...

...from the prison

they have made of our lives.

From now on,

the evil of these savages

will never be able to touch me again.

Buakham! Don't.

No more.

I want you all to remember,

I may only be a woman,

but I'm not afraid to die,

if it will release me

from this servitude.

- More Heat!

- Don't!

I will happily die in the flames...

...if it reminds Thai people

of what the word means, freedom!

Buakham!

Buakham!

Listen, Litongjia, you evil bastard!

I will pray that you die in agony.

I pray to the guardian spirit of all Thai people to break your nick and arms
