THIS FILM IS A WORK OF FICTION
INSPIRED BY A HISTORICAL EVENWhat you gonna do?
You prick! Did you just slap my head?
Silence!
We're at war!
This is no time to horse around!
Junior Soldier Mitr Teeradham,
step forward.
Silence!
Shoulders back, chest out!
- One, two, three.
- Next!
Junior Soldier Pratueng Srisuk.
Junior Soldier Sak Deekamhom.
Junior Soldier Kosum Chumpisai.

Junior Soldier Samrong Rodpai.
Ow!
Ow!
Ow!
Ow!
Stop grunting! You don't like it?
I love it!
It hurts the first time.
Tough it out, soldier.
Uh, I'm just a junior soldier.
Two salueng each.
For two.
Stop praying, dimwit.
Cherd, Nirvana
is waiting for you in there.
Go.
Two salueng.
- Shit!
- No shit, it's your captain.
Drop!
What are your friends doing up there?
Drilling, sir.
- Drilling what?
- Drilling a hole
I mean, training, sir.
Don't stop until I tell you to.
Silence.
Eight, nine, ten
Hey, sneaky brats. What are you up to?
Don't run away!
Junior soldiers, stop!
You recite our motto every day.
Nation. Honor. Discipline. Courage.
You're trained to fight,
not to fuck.
Hey! Stop!
Stop! Hey!
Come on, Tang!
What's that?
Stop!
Drop and give me ten!
- One!
- One!
- Minus one!
- Minus one!
- Minus two!
- Minus two!
- Minus one!
- Minus one!
Seriously,
even if you tell me
that you no longer love me,
I won't lose my head.
Or maybe you've taken ill?
No.
Then, what's wrong, Pen? Just tell me.
Besides those two misfortunes,
I'm not afraid of anything in this world.
You're going to be a father.
Pen,
what did you just say?
You're going to be a father.
Mek! Someone might see us.
I'm just a lowly corporal,
not some big shot's son.
My mother is an ordinary woman.
I've saved up some money, but not much.
I'm not fortunate enough
to study abroad like others.
But I've seen foreigners do this.
Be my wife.
You're supposed to say "marry me".
Mar..
Mar ry me.
Yes!
No, you have to ask me that!
Whatever.
Corporal!
Corporal!
Yes?
I was laying a net behind that island.
Then I saw them all over the Gulf.
Slow down, Uncle.
What do you mean? What's all over?
Iron ships. With lots of guns.
It's the enemy! The enemy's here!
Their ships are everywhere!
The enemy is attacking us!
Our army has advanced
into several territories.
Siam should avoid the same fate.
CHUMPHON
The Japanese Army prepares
to advance further into India and China.
You will allow our Imperial forces
to use Siam as our base.
Your government agrees to pay
war reparations and give us supplies.
We have experimented
on this biological weapon.
We don't want Siam to suffer this.
You need to see what our soldiers
will do to our enemies.
It's not our policy to fight an ally
unless the ally wants to fight us.
We'll put up a show of resistance.
Do not lose more than necessary.
Follow me! Watch out!
Hey!
Stay out of the road!
Move! Move!
Alerting all units.
We have detected several warships
approaching from the East.
Mobilize all troops along the coast
within one hour and prepare the defenses.
What's the goddamn rush?
I'm sure it's something bad.
Bad for who? Just leave me out of it.
Give me a minute, Captain.
Mek, what's happening?
Hello, Mrs. Tarn.
Why do you have to take him, Captain?
It's his death warrant.
Mok's just a kid.
Mok,
I've made steamed curry. Go have some.
All junior soldiers
have to report for duty.
This is an order.
Even I can't disobey an order.
The point is, Mok is a soldier.
You must not forget that.
What about the one who gave that order?
Did he forget
that he already took
Mek's and Mok's father away?
Does he want to take my whole family?
To have them all killed
HAPPY MIND AND BODY AT THE BEACH
Where are you going?
To stay at my friend's for a few days.
Want to come with me?
Go on, keep running
for the rest of your life.
Since you were little,
I've never seen
you stand up and face a problem.
Always avoiding it.
Always running away.
I still believe though,
that one day,
when your back is against the wall,
you'll realize
that you have to fight
for what really matters to you.
Yes, sir.
Mok is a soldier.
He's going to serve his country.
But your husband was a traitor.
It's totally different.
To me, it's the same thing.
You can run away from the army,
from Mom, from me, from everyone.
But do you even know where you're going?
I don't know.
I don't know.
But I won't stay here like some cow
waiting to be slaughtered. For what?
I never wanted to be
a soldier like you and Dad.
I just want to come home
to have dinner with Mom,
with you, and with Pen.
Not with something called "nation".
For me,
"Nation"
means everyone in our family.
You're going to be an uncle.
Mek,
run away with me.
Don't go and get yourself killed.
I have to go
to protect you,
protect Mom,
protect Pen,
and my child.
You always want everything,
but you never fight for anything.
No, Mok.
Corporal Mek!
Yes, sir.
Are you done?
Yes, sir.
I said what I had to say.
Now, it's up to you,
whether you want to fight or to flee.
Emergency updates from
southern provinces at 2 a.m. last night.
Japanese troops have landed on the coasts
of Songkhla, Pattani, Prachuap Khiri Khan,
and Chumphon.
Be careful with the crate!
Don't fucking hide!
Go and fight!
Mok, what are you doing?
Mok!
Help!
Help me!
Help!
At 7:30 a.m. today,
the Thai government has instructed
all military and police units
to cease fire and await new orders.
The governments of Thailand and Japan
are now engaged in negotiations.
Damage assessment is now underway.
All Thai and Japanese
patrol units are instructed
to survey the damage immediately.
Catch them!
They're gone.
The government wants to announce
that the negotiations
are progressing positively.
We are a friend of Japan.
Citizens should assist and cooperate
- with our Japanese friends.
- Sak!
Thai and Japanese soldiers
will fight shoulder to shoulder.
- Sak!
- Dad!
- Pen!
- Vaew!
Where's Sak?
Keaw, it's OK.
Vaew, come with me.
Come on.
Calm down.
Listen, I'm also looking for Mok.
If we find him,
I'm sure we'll find Sak too.
Kaew,
don't cry.
I promise I'll help you find your dad.
Get your gun ready. Be careful.
Yes, sir.
This is patrol!
Anyone here?
Junior soldier!
Hold on.
Junior soldier,
are you alright?
Let's go.
- Captain!
- What's going on?
I saw
He said he saw
a ghost of a junior soldier.
Ghost?
Not exactly, sir.
It's a junior soldier
that eats human flesh.
Where?
Help! It bit me!
What the fuck is happening?
July 15, 1939. Result
of the 256th injection
of Fumetsu-A44 virus.
In Group 1, no creatures died,
but all of them exhibit a high level
of strength and aggressiveness
and rapid signs of cannibalism.
They display
combative and efficient behavior.
LUNG ABLATION EXPERIMENLIVER ABLATION EXPERIMENKIDNEY EXCISION EXPERIMENThe subjects in Group 2
are behaving differently.
They are much stronger and faster.
But they do not attack
or prey on one another.
They still have self-control.
But how long?
Mek!
- Pen.
- Where were you? What happened?
- Are you hurt?
- I'm fine.
The doctor said I'll recover
in a few days.
Where's Mok?
Have you seen him?
Huh?
No, I haven't.
Hope he did what he said.
I hope he ran away that night.
Corporal.
Your brother didn't run away.
He was with us on the battlefield.
What? Is that true?
Yes.
Did you see him with your own eyes?
- Mek!
- Where exactly did you see him?
- Mek!
- Corporal Mek!
The Japanese wants to see us now.
- Take me to him right now. Where?
- Mek!
- Get up.
- I said now!
You made an egregious mistake.
I am so sorry
You have to show responsibility.
Long live The Emperor!
Why do you want to see us?
Two men.
One wants to die for his country.
The other wants to live.
Which one is more patriotic?
The dead one.
And which one can serve his nation longer?
The living one.
Correct.
What escaped from this crate
is the prototype of Fumetsu,
a biological weapon that we've developed.
But we still know too little about it.
What I saw wasn't a Japanese soldier.
It's a Thai soldier.
That's exactly the problem.
When a Fumetsu fails to kill off its prey,
it'll turn them into its own species.
Captain, we have to report this
to the authorities.
No need.
They've already decided
to end this problem,
in utmost silence.
This is Captain Nakamura
from Destroyer Task Force.
You are the only Thai soldiers
who know this island
like the back of your hand.
So, I want you to join
the Destroyer Task Force.
MOST URGENSUBJECT: TRANSFER OF SPECIAL OFFICERS
To apprehend them alive.
Alive?
No matter how many Fumetsu there are,
whether Thai or Japanese
if you don't want the people
of Siam to fall into greater harm,
you have to work with us.
Siam has no choice.
We have to take responsibility
for this together.
July 18, 1939. Results
of the 257th injection
of Fumetsu-A44 virus.
A larger dose of the virus was injected,
and the results were positive.
The specimens secreted a liquid.
triggering fatal self-combustion
that ended their lives.
But will self-combustion happen
in humans too?
If so, my plan has worked.
The Fumetsu have a fatal weakness.
THE FUMETSU IS FLAMMABLE.
Siam, December 11, 1941.
The escaped human subject is Private Nobu.
What is his behavior
when contact with potential prey?
Will the Fumetsu continue to evolve?
The harm is still unknown.
Captain,
I believe there are a lot more of them.
Look at these corpses.
The victims didn't have a chance
to defend themselves.
Father.
Sorry.
Captain.
They went that way, sir.
How many of them?
About ten, sir.
Lead the way.
CHERRY BLOSSOMS ARE BLOOMING
AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.
I LOVE YOU ETERNALLY.
Mrs. Tarn.
I'd like Mek to go
work with me in the barracks.
He seems cut out for it,
just like his father Mann.
Let him decide for himself.
I'm ready to serve the country, sir.
Good.
Young private loses his head
Going to the barracks means he'll be dead
War is what he'll face
But I'll be fine because I'll stay in bed
I'll stay in bed, but you'll be dead!
- Sarge!
- Yes, sir!
- I'll stay in bed
- Mok, you asshole.
But you'll be so dead
I'm still hungry.
You're still hungry too, I know.
The Japs
made us into this.
Why don't we just go and eat them?
No!
Inn.
They are nearby.
Hide!
It doesn't matter what we are.
I'll always love you, Nobu-san.
But now, it's time
for me to leave your memory.
The cherry blossoms are blooming.
Do it!
- Dammit!
- Why do you have to torture him?
You'd better just kill him off.
Now we know where the Fumetsu are.
Tell them.
We won't send in our men,
and we won't kill them.
But we need to capture them
to study their behavior.
Shoot it.
If you hadn't become this thing,
what would you have dreamt of doing?
I would've
helped out my dad at his gold shop.
I'd have become a lawyer.
I think you'd make a fine gravedigger.
I'd want my kid to have a good education,
so she could find a job
that paid well.
What about you, Prao?
I'm better off like this.
These creatures
have been created to replace us.
But something is absent inside them.
Honor,
nation, and race.
Something greater than themselves.
They may be physically stronger than us,
but their minds are weak.
They will eventually devour one another.
Kai.
Captain.
What's this man doing here?
My son.
Kai.
What have you done to my son?
Kai!
What the fuck have you done?
Kai!
Kai.
Mok.
What about you?
I just wanted to write songs
and novels.
Maybe go to Bangkok.
You already wrote a song.
Sing it to me.
Wake up, my friends, here comes the sun
Going to class, you'll have to run
But why go to school, you're such a fool
Failed all exams, it's just a scam
We're so happy, hunting for fowl
Boozing and whoring, till sunset hour
Shoulder to shoulder, we'll march together
Let's go, buddies! We'll go everywhere!
My dear friends
Happy is our memory
Time flies past, we drift apart
But our love will always last
Don't worry when we have to say goodbye
Happiness and tragedy are in our minds
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll march together
Our memories are ever stronger
We're friends forever
Has anyone seen Inn and Kai?
Where are they?
They've run back home already.
What about the Jap?
Gone.
Gone where?
Just gone.
I knew he couldn't be trusted.
We're going to the village
to look for Inn and Kai.
If we find them, we'll bring them back.
If we don't, we'll go our separate ways.
- Why did you kill him?
- Corporal, stop.
- Hey! Hey!
- Mek.
- Mek, calm down.
- Captain!
- Those bastards!
- Calm down. Hey!
- That prick just killed our guy!
- Stop it.
I said stop! Mek, look at me!
We have no authority here.
Turn on the cyanide.
Captain,
are you going to let
the fucking Japs do this to our people?
They're not our people, Mek!
Now, there are only humans and non-humans.
Sarge,
don't let him move.
Corporal!
- I said calm down. Stop it, Mek!
- Hey!
Deal with your man.
Go home, Mek.
You're discharged from the mission.
Captain
- Captain
- Please!
I already took your brother.
Don't make me feel
even more guilty to your mother.
- Take him out.
- Yes, sir!
You can't do this to me.
Let me go!
Just go, Corporal.
Your masterpiece is a disaster.
They can't even control themselves.
Can I kill them now?
Your job is to follow my orders.
I want them alive.
I knew you'd say that.
Yes, you give the orders,
but I decide how to execute them.
The Destroyer Task Force
will do what I tell them.
Lay siege to the village.
- Yes, sir.
- But why?
They're still kids.
They'll go home to their families.
Here is your offering
We summon the spirit of the Huntsman
Please come down to us
Here is your offering
Please come down
Come down, show us you are here
Where is Sak's spirit?
We're inviting him here
Your wife has made offerings
To invite your spirit
Come down, Sak. Come down!
Come down here!
Sak! Can you hear me?
I'm in pain! Help me, Vaew!
- Sak!
- Vaew.
I'm so cold.
Sak.
- Dad!
- My child?
Vaew, help me.
Vaew!
Sak?
Is that you, Sak?
Dad! Daddy!
THE ARMY REINSTATES SIX OFFICERS
WRONGLY ACCUSED OF TREASON
My dear.
LT. COL. TEERADHAM
CAPTAIN PANSRIKAN, CAPTAIN CHAMJII'm worried about Mok.
I don't know where to find him.
I have no idea if he's dead or alive.
My dear, please look after him
and protect him from harm.
Mom.
Did you find Mok?
What are you doing out here? Get inside.
Did you find Mok?
Bring his body back,
so I can at least cremate him.
Mom.
Mok
Mok's still alive.
He ran away the day the Japanese invaded.
Is it true?
How did you find out?
I had a talk with him.
I actually told him to run away.
Thanks, Mek. Thank you.
Is that you, Cherd?
Are you hurt?
Pen!
What's wrong?
Sit down.
There was a Japanese soldier,
torn in half.
Like a wild animal attacked him.
Mom, listen carefully.
If something weird shows up, shoot it.
If it still moves, burn it.
No matter what happens,
stay close to fire.
Got it?
Yes.
Take care of Pen for me.
Pen.
Don't be scared.
I'll be back soon.
Vaew!
Vaew!
Come on, Kaew.
Vaew!
Mommy!
Kaew!
Sak.
Kaew!
Dad
I'm your dad, Kaew.
It's me.
I'm your dad.
Kaew
Dad
Dad
Are you hurt?
Dad.
Who hurt you, Dad?
Dad.
Dad.
Dad!
Ready!
Kaew, come here.
Dad!
Attack!
- Run away!
- They're my boys!
You bastard!
Sarge!
Run!
Mok.
Mek.
Mek!
Nakamura's methods
will turn this into a war.
But
we're already in a war, Sir.
I know.
But if your father
keeps attacking the Fumetsu,
they will start another war.
One that we can never win.
I didn't want to do it.
Let me show you something.
You set a time bomb inside them.
Yes, that was my goal from the start,
but what you're about to see
is even beyond my expectations.
July 18, 1939: Test results of batch 257.
After the test specimens self-combusted,
the ash triggered
a unique regeneration in nature.
A Fumetsu is now more
than just a savage animal.
You're committing treason.
You're aware of that, right?
I'd rather be a traitor
than create a monster.
But they will burn themselves up
and disintegrate anyway.
Before they reach that point,
who knows how many people
they could devour or infect.
This is much more than you
and your father can handle.
The Fumetsu are much more than a weapon,
but your father
only sees them as monsters.
And so,
we'll never be able to beat them.
We're here. Please get out of the truck.
Why did you bring us here?
- Come down, please.
- Thank you.
What's going on?
What is all this?
Venerable Abbot.
Bless you all.
Sir, do you know why they brought us here?
Everyone, please come with me.
Hey, sis,
have you heard the news?
The Medium's whole family
was killed last night.
Someone found the bodies,
mauled to bloody mush.
What on earth is happening in our village?
Right.
I heard some Japanese soldiers
were found dead too.
Torn apart by some animal.
Makes me shudder.
Is that like what you told me?
Please, come in.
Come inside.
Listen up.
The Japanese have found
dead bodies in the jungle.
They didn't move them,
fearing they'd offend our belief.
They want you to identify whether
the victims are from your families.
Enter.
Mok
Chuen.
Mok
Mrs. Taan
PRATUENG SRISUK, MITR TEERADHAM
SAK DEEKAMHOM, SAMRONG RODPAI
Arrived?
- Are you from the Personnel Office?
- Yes.
They plan to kill
all the villagers in the forest
to eliminate all eyewitnesses.
They also
want to hush up everything,
as if nothing ever happened.
You
will register their deaths
as casualties of war.
Fucking Japs!
They're humans!
How could you do this?
Don't make things worse
than they already are.
Our superiors have already agreed to this.
Take him out!
Dammit.
Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
Inn!
Assholes!
Stop fighting each other already!
Right now,
there's something more important.
They caught me and tortured me,
but I escaped.
Now, they
have taken our parents away
and they'll kill them all!
This might be a trap
to lure us out.
My wife.
My child.
Our mom!
If you're so scared,
just run and hide like a coward.
Fuck you, Mek.
If you're with me,
follow me now!
Come home with me.
Come to me, my son.
Let's go home, my child.
Come home, my son.
We're here to take you home.
Let's go home together.
I've come with a blessing
to take you home.
- My dear Inn
- Come home with your mother and I.
Let's go home together.
Let's go home.
Time to come home.
My dear
Father.
I have something to tell you.
Later.
Chuen.
- Mek!
- Mok!
- Mek!
- Mek!
Mek!
Kill them all! Shoot!
Attack!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Mok!
Bite Mom! Now!
Bite her!
Mek, don't!
Mek!
Mek!
Get off!
Mom, wake up!
Why didn't you bite her?
Evacuate, now!
Why did you do this to Pen?
She'd be better off dead.
I didn't do it.
They did.
And they
will pay for it.
Listen,
you saw what they did to us.
I
will never let them
kill anyone we love ever again.
We'll make everyone like us,
and we'll kill our enemies
to the very last man!
What the fuck did you just say, Mek?
"Make everyone like us"?
What does that mean?
Didn't you see
what they did to your mother?
Prao.
And what they did to our friends?
We need to build our own army.
I'm not going.
I don't want to kill anymore.
My brother died
because he went along with you guys.
I'm out.
What you're doing
is not going to end this war.
Pen!
You fucking bastard!
Mek, you monster! What have you done?
What have you done?
Didn't you tell me
she'd be better off dead?
We will lure the Japanese
to the cave and kill them all.
Did you capture the Fumetsu?
Bring me his notebook.
I never wanted to be
a soldier like you and Dad.
I just want to come home to have dinner
with Mom, you, and Pen.
You always want everything
but you never fight for anything.
No, Mok.
THE FUMETSU IS FLAMMABLE.
Get the flamethrower.
We'll exterminate them all.
Turn off the light.
Burn them!
Follow them!
For me,
"nation"
means everyone in our family.
Doctor!
That's impossible.
He said we already
signed a deal with his army
to remain completely invisible
during this mission.
There'll be no recognition, no honor.
If we get caught,
they won't take any responsibility.
They'll deny everything.
Good luck, everyone.
ALL JUNIOR SOLDIERS FOUGHT VALIANTLY
THAT DAY WILL REMAIN
FOREVER IN OUR MEMORIES
