00:01:14That's it, that's it, right now, hold it there!
00:01:18Right now, what did I tell you?
00:01:20I told you when you were done with those ones over there,
00:01:22you had to go and pick up those ones over there
00:01:24and move them over there.
00:01:26And now you put those ones over there
00:01:27and those ones are still over there!
00:01:30Get back to work!
00:01:33Really?
00:01:34Fine, now, come back!
00:01:36Can you just stop for a second?
00:01:37Stop it!
00:01:38Get away from me!
00:01:41Here we go!
00:01:42Hang on!
00:01:46Mama!
00:01:48Da Wan, please don't look at me like that.
00:01:51Please be happy for me.
00:01:53I'm sorry, Ting.
00:01:54How can I be?
00:01:55You don't want to get married to him, do you?
00:02:01No, but marrying Taman is what my family wants.
00:02:05And Taman is handsome?
00:02:11Sort of?
00:02:25Look at her. She's so happy.
00:02:28When is your lovely granddaughter going to find a nice boy to marry?
00:02:32Well, Dawan's still in school and doing quite well.
00:02:36But I'm sure she'll find someone when she's ready.
00:02:38Don't worry. We'll find a nice boy for Dawan to marry soon enough, Adi. Won't we, Mama?
00:02:46Here. Gift for the bride-to-be.
00:02:49Thank you, Somchai. What is it?
00:02:54A portable dishwasher, of course.
00:02:57Of course. Thank you.
00:03:00Vina! Quit playing around! Come on, stop it!
00:03:05Watch out, Chikin! Coming down!
00:03:08Come on! Stop! I said stop!
00:03:10They're waiting for us back at the clubhouse!
00:03:14We've got to tell everyone about the humans!
00:03:17About the construction site!
00:03:20Whoa, shiny!
00:03:28Hey, Kai! Time to go!
00:03:31Kai! The great, humble hero prepares himself for the long walk back to the temple when he's still...
00:03:38Kai! I said stop messing around!
00:03:42Congratulating and get your sister! There's a lot to do!
00:03:50I know you're going to do well in school, Dawan. You're going to go far. But my life is different
00:03:57now.
00:03:58I'll be a beautiful bride to a wonderful new husband.
00:04:04Well, you are happy, right?
00:04:07Right? My parents are happy.
00:04:20Well, you are happy, right?
00:04:34Everything I see around me's never ever changed its ways
00:04:39As people try so hard to stay the same
00:04:42And what's so wrong with that?
00:04:44I think I could be a lot more than what they see
00:04:49The chance is all I'm dreaming of
00:04:52Sounds fine to me!
00:04:54And everything I see around me's never ever needed more
00:04:59But the village's fine just the way it is
00:05:04Every bird and bee and herd and tree and every village smile I see
00:05:10That's exactly how it's always meant to be
00:05:14But then there's so much more beyond these village doors
00:05:20My hopes and dreams are far beyond my reach
00:05:24I could be so much more than what this world has in store
00:05:30If they only look beyond the ground they see
00:05:36Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money makes to walk around
00:05:40That's all I want, that's all I love
00:05:43And the people can take the tears and shove them
00:05:50Oh, no way, kids, come back, there's more
00:05:53Hmm, old Witchian seems a little more expressive with his performances lately
00:05:59Well, if his nephew Perrot didn't kick him out
00:06:01He might not have to do this to take care of himself
00:06:04Well, Mama, I'll always do my best to look after all of us
00:06:24You there
00:06:31You some joy?
00:06:32Uh, yes
00:06:33Here
00:06:36You've been told
00:06:44What is it?
00:06:46I don't understand
00:06:48It says that all the villagers have to pay taxes
00:06:51What?
00:06:52Taxes?
00:06:53To who?
00:06:54We've never had to pay anything before
00:06:56It says that if we can't pay, then our land will be forfeited
00:07:00It means the government will take our land
00:07:02No matter what may come, we'll always still be a family
00:07:07I've tried my best to keep us safe and sound
00:07:11My Kung Fu moves will help to keep all the bad guys out
00:07:18But everything will just still be the same
00:07:22But then there's so much more beyond these village storms
00:07:28My hopes and dreams are far beyond my reach
00:07:32I could be so much more than what this world has in store
00:07:38If they only look beyond the groundy sea
00:07:44I don't understand
00:07:46I oiled it yesterday
00:07:48Maybe needs extra weight
00:07:50Oh
00:08:02But then there's so much more beyond these village storms
00:08:08My hopes and dreams are far beyond my reach
00:08:12I could be so much more than what this world has in store
00:08:18If they only look beyond the groundy sea
00:08:23I want to see the world beyond
00:08:28Where I could be so much more
00:08:33I want to see the world beyond
00:08:39Where I could be so much more
00:08:42I want to see the world beyond
00:08:49I love most I just wanna see the world beyond
00:08:50Where I could be so much more
00:08:53I want to see the world beyond
00:08:59Where I could be so much more
00:09:03I love most I wanna see the world beyond

00:10:15droplet here like so makes for a perfect length the multitude of such droplets with carefully
00:10:21directed beams of light allow us to project images from wherever we wish but what seems so simple is

00:15:42No, I do, I do.
00:15:44But don't think it makes you exempt from giving me your crop share, eh?
00:15:48Of course, you're the landlord.

00:17:13Hey, that one!
00:17:14Wanna see something really cool?
00:17:17Come on, come on, let's go.
00:17:23Ta-da!
00:17:32Ah, I'm sure you know what this is.
00:17:35The Ramalan Decree.
00:17:36That's right, been in my family for four generations.
00:17:40King Ramalaman!
00:17:42Ramalan.
00:17:43Yeah, he decreed that my family would own this land
00:17:46after my great-great-great-great-grandfather saved his life or something.
00:17:50Well, it's nice that someone in your family helps someone else once.
00:17:55Look, Da-wan, it's not my fault if your family's poor
00:17:59or has to work for my dad.
00:18:02Hey, you know, you should show me a little more respect.
00:18:06Soon or later, I'm going to be the one everyone has to answer to, including you.
00:18:14Like that's ever gonna happen.
00:18:15I'd sooner take orders from a bird than have to listen to you.
00:18:22Hey!
00:18:25Ah, there you are.
00:18:26Great! We can tell them both together.
00:18:28Tell us what?
00:18:30Landlord Perot and I have come to an agreement, Da-wan.
00:18:33You and Benz are to be married!
00:18:36Father, how could you?
00:18:40How could you?
00:18:56I love you.
00:19:19Is this my future, is this my life, has my destiny arrived, it seems like it really
00:19:33But I know, I've tried, one shot at my dreams, but then I
00:19:42How could father think I'll ever want to marry Benz? Does he think that will solve all our problems?
00:19:48Doesn't he see there's more than I can do? Don't my wishes count for anything?
00:19:54If I want to get out of this, I'll have to do something.
00:19:59I know. A scholarship. What if I win it? Then I'll show father I can do more than he thinks.
00:20:07I know I can.
00:20:09I'm stepping out, I'm reaching high Hold on to my faith as I reach for the sky
00:20:20I'll walk through the fire, I'll shelter the rain I'm shaken by doubt, I'm gonna find out
00:20:33If dreams, they really can come true And all I really have to do
00:20:43Is believe in what I feel inside And I'll see that I will get there someday
00:21:14I'll never know If I never try
00:21:20I'll make it a long, long way
00:21:24If I believe
00:21:42Are you sure we studied enough?
00:21:45Yes, Kai
00:21:46I'll beat everyone else, won't I?
00:21:48Almost everyone
00:21:49What?
00:21:50Come on, we're late
00:22:03Well, my dad says we've been lucky not to pay taxes for years
00:22:06We shouldn't have to pay anything
00:22:08We don't own the land
00:22:09Some of us do
00:22:11Well, even if we don't own it, we still use it
00:22:15Isn't that a privilege we should pay for?
00:22:17We already do pay for it, teacher
00:22:18We give a part of everything we raise and grow to the landlord
00:22:21Oh, it's a lot more complicated than that
00:22:24Now, if there's someone out there who places a value on the land, then they expect to get their money's
00:22:30worth
00:22:30Even if that means taking it away from those who use it
00:22:34But I mean, it's just because of a tradition, isn't it?
00:22:37An old king created a decree that allowed one family to rule over the others
00:22:41Some of these traditions are good, but others...
00:22:44But it's forces to marry people we don't want to
00:22:47Well, that's not fair
00:22:50Uh, no, well, it's not always fair, but that's the way things go
00:22:55Um, for example, everyone's not going to get the same results on the scholarship exam
00:23:01Now, now, I know you all prepared for this and you know what it means
00:23:04Good luck
00:23:05No talking during the exam
00:23:07Yes, father
00:23:07Uh, teacher
00:23:09Now, the one who scores the best in the region will be awarded a scholarship to college in the city
00:23:15It's a big opportunity, and luck won't be enough
00:23:19Being smart is not enough
00:23:22Study is not enough
00:23:24You must have determination in your preparation
00:23:28In your performance, and in your heart
00:23:32To win this
00:23:33Begin
00:23:53I told you we'd get plenty of willing workers
00:23:58Yes, and they're cheap, right?
00:24:01Eh, well
00:24:02Well, let them know this is only 80%
00:24:08All right, fine
00:24:09Only 50% of what I'm going to pay them
00:24:14They'll get the rest of it when it's done
00:24:19So, have you handed the letters to everyone in the village?
00:24:22Paro, I don't know why we're waiting
00:24:25Why this lie about taxes?
00:24:28You see, this is why I'm a landlord and you're a contractor
00:24:31I'm the brains of this partnership, right?
00:24:34As long as they think I care about them, no one will question my ownership of the land
00:24:39No one will think to question the decree
00:24:41And when I've demolished the village and the jungle around it
00:24:44And finally built my casino
00:24:47They'll still think I care about them
00:24:50I'll offer them low-paying jobs and they'll be happy about it
00:24:53And they won't have anywhere else to go
00:24:56Right
00:24:58Nice
00:25:00So, when do I get to knock over some houses?
00:25:05Burn it, burn it
00:25:06Burn it, burn it
00:25:09Everything
00:25:10Burn it, burn it
00:25:12Every hut
00:25:13Burn it, burn it
00:25:15In every tree
00:25:16Burn it, burn it
00:25:18Burn it down
00:25:19Wasted
00:25:19Burn it, burn it
00:25:20Burn it down
00:25:22And you know why?
00:25:23Burn it, burn it down
00:25:25It means
00:25:25Money, money, my money for me
00:25:27A thousand miles away from Graceland
00:25:31Here I am the man
00:25:32You know what I am
00:25:34Filled in my sweet dreams of cash
00:25:36That's my master plan
00:25:39Civilish people, clear the way
00:25:42My eyes are just a YMCA
00:25:45I got my wealth and riches waiting
00:25:48Me up or get the boot
00:25:50Your homemade houses are of no use

00:28:09First of all, Benz
00:28:10My brother is not dumb
00:28:11He's certainly smarter than you
00:28:13And secondly, there's nothing else to tell

00:28:57Or will he...
00:29:04My sister warned me not to use my powerful Kung Fu on Fat Blade
00:29:08But you, my old enemy
00:29:10Are a different story
00:29:11What the hell?
00:29:43Oh
00:29:44Wow
00:29:47Your kung fu is strong, but you are no matter
00:29:53Now one
00:29:55Then
00:30:00I have to warn you I know
00:30:14It is you, Sun Wukong, the Monkey King
00:30:17Have you come to help me fight the Demon Master?
00:30:20Hey, what?
00:30:22Whoa!
00:30:32Hey, you make a pretty good team, don't you think?
00:30:42Hey, no, hey, oh!
00:30:46Where'd that little guy come from?
00:30:48Must be another refugee from Chameleon's Tree
00:30:52Looks like he could take care of himself, though
00:30:58Not again!
00:31:01Hey everyone, you miss me?
00:31:03What kept you?
00:31:04Well, I work better alone
00:31:06The extra baggage was slowing me down
00:31:08What did you find?
00:31:10Did you see the humans who were doing this?
00:31:12Will they come here?
00:31:13Yeah, I saw them
00:31:14We've got nothing to worry about
00:31:16Nothing to worry about?
00:31:18Nothing to worry about?
00:31:20They're going to knock down the village and the jungle around it
00:31:22That means here!
00:31:24You would have heard that
00:31:25If you have been paying attention and not playing around
00:31:29As usual
00:31:30Well, I was listening
00:31:32But I got distracted
00:31:33Um, uh, I...
00:31:59I'll never get this digging machine to work
00:32:01Oh, am I kidding?
00:32:08Mama, what are we going to do?
00:32:11Well, you could think about selling these machines
00:32:13Mama, I know I'm a good inventor, but
00:32:16Nobody wants to buy these things
00:32:18Nobody else really understands them anyway
00:32:21Nobody understands you either, Somchai
00:32:24But that doesn't mean you're not wanted
00:32:29Kai!
00:32:36How did the exam go?
00:32:38Great!
00:32:39Oh, wonderful!
00:32:41Thank you for helping him, Dawan
00:32:42If you engaged and Kai winning the scholarship
00:32:45Really should be fine
00:32:48Father, what happens if someone else wins the scholarship?
00:33:08What's the meaning of this?
00:33:09Taxes haven't been paid on this property
00:33:11The land's been repossessed
00:33:13Don't cry to me, pencil neck
00:33:16You all knew this was coming
00:33:18You can't just knock it
00:33:20Dad!
00:33:22You can't come here and push people around like that
00:33:25Son
00:33:29Yes, actually I can
00:33:32What do you think you're doing?
00:33:34You should be worrying about what you're doing
00:33:36Somchai, is it?
00:33:38None of you have paid your taxes yet, have you?
00:33:42Deadlines tomorrow
00:33:44After that, we come for the houses
00:33:50What are we going to do?
00:33:54I'm not sure, Kai
00:33:55We'll think of something
00:33:56What are we going to do?
00:33:58I'll take something to help
00:34:00No, no
00:34:00My leg, but
00:34:05I'll stay
00:34:14Oh, no
00:34:24Oh...lustre
00:34:25Mina!
00:34:28Okay, you were right, all right?
00:34:31Maybe if I'd paid more attention, if I didn't get distracted so easily,
00:34:35maybe I'd have seen that big human as just a big bully.
00:34:39Maybe I wouldn't have let everyone down.
00:34:41There's no time for feeling sorry for yourself.
00:34:43We can still help.
00:34:45You remember what we heard those men saying?
00:34:47Well, some of it, I guess.
00:34:49Then follow me.
00:34:50I've got a plan!
00:35:00Look! There she is!
00:35:02Hey! Hey!
00:35:05Help!
00:35:06Hey! Hey!
00:35:13Teacher? Leg?
00:35:15Are you okay?
00:35:16I'll be fine. Thanks for asking.
00:35:18Sakda! What brings you and your son here today?
00:35:21Well, we got the exam results, and so we came to bring you the good news.
00:35:24We sought to deliver it.
00:35:25Yes, sir.
00:35:26On this blah blah blah blah, we are pleased to announce the winner of the regional scholarship exam is...
00:35:32...Dawan!
00:35:33That's right!
00:35:34Darwan scored the highest, and Kai the second highest in the entire region.
00:35:38Wonderful!
00:35:41It's okay, Kai.
00:35:42Darwan will simply decline it, and the scholarship will go to you.
00:35:46What? No, I won't. I won't do it.
00:35:50Now, Darwan, we've been through this. Your future's already taken care of.
00:35:54Perhaps we should be going.
00:35:55You mean Ben's? What kind of future is that, father?
00:35:59I got the best score on the exam. Why can't I go away to school?
00:36:02Because you're...
00:36:03I'm a girl. I can't get an education. Can't get what I earn because I'm a girl.
00:36:08Darwan, I'm sure it's okay. Your father has the best intentions.
00:36:12Whatever you do, child, I know you can go far.
00:36:16How far, Grandma? As far as Ben's house?
00:36:20Somchai, Ben's isn't for her. She's too good for that.
00:36:23This is you? You're the one putting these ideas in her head?
00:36:26That she can do anything, be anything she wants?
00:36:29She's too good for this and that?
00:36:31All of your foolish dreams!
00:36:57I was a fool to think that winning this would change anything.
00:37:01Maybe I should just marry Ben's.
00:37:03Maybe that would fix everything.
00:37:05Remember what we heard those men say?
00:37:08Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:37:11Parod, I don't know why we're waiting.
00:37:14Why this lie about taxes?
00:37:17As long as I think I care about them,
00:37:20no one will question my ownership of the land.
00:37:23No one will think to question the decree.
00:37:26Landlord Parod?
00:37:27Right. Nice.
00:37:29So, when do I get to knock over some houses?
00:37:33Landlord Parod won't help us.
00:37:36He's the one who wants to destroy our homes.
00:37:39I've got to warn someone,
00:37:40but no one will take me seriously.
00:37:42I mean, what am I going to say?
00:37:44The taxes are a lie.
00:37:46Landlord Parod wants to take our homes and build a casino.
00:37:49Oh, Darwin, how do you know that?
00:37:51Oh, two birds told me.
00:37:53Yeah, right.
00:37:54But it's true!
00:38:13Lie still, child.
00:38:16Sorry for sneaking up on you.
00:38:18I didn't mean to scare you.
00:38:20Old Weechin?
00:38:22You're Parod's uncle.
00:38:24I know.
00:38:25People say I'm crazy.
00:38:27One of many family lies I hope to shed some light on.
00:38:31Where am I?
00:38:33My home.
00:38:34I brought you here because I want to tell you a story.
00:38:40Generations ago,
00:38:42King Romulan lost his only son.
00:38:45We all know the story.
00:38:47Your family saved him.
00:38:48No!
00:38:52The king was beside himself with grief.
00:38:57The villagers so loved their king
00:39:00that they hated seeing him so sad.
00:39:03They searched the jungle until the prince was found.
00:39:08King Romulan was so pleased he made a great decree.
00:39:13As a reward,
00:39:15the villagers would own their own land.
00:39:19But the king's advisor was jealous.
00:39:23He forged his own decree
00:39:25and poisoned the king.
00:39:30The fake decree said the land would be controlled by the advisor and his family.
00:39:37Herod's decree is a fake.
00:39:39But how can we prove it?
00:39:41Romulan's real decree is out there,
00:39:45hidden in the temple that contains his tomb.
00:39:48Romulan's haunted tomb is the legend.
00:39:50It doesn't exist, does it?
00:39:53Do you want to stop my nephew?
00:39:55Are you smart enough, young Daewon?
00:39:58Are you determined enough to find it?
00:40:02High on the land,
00:40:03in a great clawed hand,
00:40:05unseen by day,
00:40:07the moon shows the way.
00:40:10Hear water flow from down below.
00:40:13And look no more.
00:40:14You've found the door.
00:40:17Smell sacred fire from funeral pyre.
00:40:21The place to trust is on the dust.
00:40:24Taste plants so sweet.
00:40:26A welcome treat.
00:40:27But navigate the way.
00:40:29The true decree is there, you'll see.
00:40:33You'll feel it on the clay.
00:40:39Remember the clues, Daewon!
00:40:42And hurry!
00:40:44Hurry!
00:40:51Crazy old man.
00:40:53No one's going to believe in a lost haunted temple
00:40:55any more than they'll believe you told me
00:40:57about Perot's plan.
00:41:23Hey, Daewon!
00:41:26Why so sad?
00:41:27Like, we're going to lose our homes.
00:41:30What if I told you Landlord Perot's great decree was a lie?
00:41:33That there's a real one out there that says we own this land
00:41:36and not him or any of his family.
00:41:38I'd say, if such a thing was real,
00:41:40then you'd be the one to find it, Daewon.
00:41:45High on the land,
00:41:46in a great clawed hand.
00:41:49You know what, lad?
00:41:51Maybe I can.
00:41:53Daewon, I want to come with you, but...
00:41:54It's okay.
00:41:55I'll be fine.
00:41:59Besides,
00:42:00Kai will come with me.
00:42:04Kai!
00:42:06I could really use your help.
00:42:08Whoa!
00:42:10Now you want me to help you.
00:42:12Come on, Kai.
00:42:13This is serious.
00:42:14I was serious for the exam, Daewon.
00:42:16You promised me you'd help me with it,
00:42:18but you took it for yourself.
00:42:19What am I supposed to do now?
00:42:21What future can I have?
00:42:23Kai,
00:42:23none of us has a future if Landlord Perot sells our land.
00:42:26And it's not even his.
00:42:27What?
00:42:28Perot thinks he owns this land, Kai.
00:42:30But he doesn't.
00:42:32Look, there somewhere is the real decree.
00:42:34It proves it was given to the entire village.
00:42:36Not just to one man.
00:42:38That's crazy.
00:42:39Is it?
00:42:39Think about it.
00:42:40Can you really imagine any of Ben's ancestors
00:42:42being noble enough to help anyone?
00:42:45Well,
00:42:45when you put it that way...
00:42:46I don't need your help to find it, Kai.
00:42:48And if you're too scared to come along,
00:42:50I understand.
00:42:53Hey!
00:42:54Who are you calling scared?
00:42:56Hey!
00:42:56Hey!
00:42:57Wait up!
00:43:00The real decree...
00:43:03We'll see who finds it first.
00:43:14We got friendlies inbound, like a 227.
00:43:20Good luck, White Bird.
00:43:22Great news!
00:43:24The young girl seems to know how to stop the fat, greasy man from knocking out holes down.
00:43:29The girl?
00:43:30There's something in the old temple that can stop him.
00:43:33And the girl is going to get it.
00:43:35That's awesome.
00:43:36Nice work, Cockatoo.
00:43:38Well, it wasn't just me.
00:43:41How do you know for sure?
00:43:43Can you trust these humans to stop this?
00:43:46We have to try.
00:43:47We can at least help the girl get to the temple.
00:43:50It'll be dark soon.
00:43:51How will you see?
00:43:54I guess, uh...
00:43:56I guess I could help with that.
00:44:05You and I will do this together.
00:44:08Rain or shine, whatever the weather.
00:44:11You and I will do this together.
00:44:13Come on, May, we're better together.
00:44:16You and I will do this together.
00:44:18Rain or shine, whatever the weather.
00:44:21You and I will do this together.
00:44:23Come on, May, we're better together.
00:44:26While you're sitting around and wondering what things could be
00:44:28I'm telling you it's better when we all see eye to eye
00:44:35You can try to do things on your own
00:44:38But it's better when your friends are walking side by side
00:44:44Side by side
00:44:48It's a family affair
00:44:51Stick it out and we'll all get there
00:44:53It's a family affair
00:44:55There's lots of room for us all to share
00:44:58It's a family affair
00:45:00Turn your frowns upside down
00:45:03It's a family affair
00:45:05Oh, there's lots of love to go around
00:45:11Sitting around and wondering what things could be
00:45:14I'm telling you it's better when we all see eye to eye
00:45:21You can try to do things on your own
00:45:24But it's better when your friends are walking side by side
00:45:33It's a family affair
00:45:36Stick it out and we'll all get there
00:45:39It's a family affair
00:45:41There's lots of room for us all to share
00:45:44It's a family affair
00:45:46Turn your frowns upside down
00:45:48It's a family affair
00:45:51Oh, there's lots of love to go around
00:46:14It's a family affair
00:46:17Stick it out and we'll all get there
00:46:19It's a family affair
00:46:21There's lots of room for us all to share
00:46:24It's a family affair
00:46:26Turn your frowns upside down
00:46:29It's a family affair
00:46:31Oh, there's lots of love to go around
00:46:34You and I will do this together
00:46:37Rain or shine, whatever the weather
00:46:40You and I will do this
00:46:43I wonder what that's all about
00:46:51Dawan, you didn't tell me how you know about this real decree
00:46:54Oh, all Weijian told me
00:46:56What?
00:46:59Hey, wait up
00:47:00Hey, Dawan
00:47:04Dawan, wait
00:47:28No!
00:47:29Nooo!
00:47:31Hahahaha!
00:47:34Nooo!
00:47:35Sometime making something new?
00:47:37Sounds like it.
00:47:40What are you looking so sad about?
00:47:42You don't know how good you've got it.
00:47:44No real worries. No taxes.
00:47:46No pressure. No unreasonable kids.
00:47:49No ungrateful...
00:48:06Oh, Song Chai, you startled me.
00:48:11Mother, I'm sorry.
00:48:12There, there.
00:48:13I'm just... just trying to take care of us.
00:48:16And you have.
00:48:21Mama, what are we gonna do?
00:48:23We're gonna lose the house, the village.
00:48:25We haven't lost anything yet, son.
00:48:27In times like this, we need to look to each other for support.
00:48:32Yeah?
00:48:33I'll go and see landlord Perot again.
00:48:35He knows what you say is true.
00:48:37We have to look to each other for support.
00:48:40Right?
00:48:41So you mean to tell me that you got the directions to this haunted temple from Perot's crazy old uncle?
00:48:47Dawan, I can't believe I'm following you.
00:48:49High on the land in a great clothed hand, and seen by day...
00:48:53The moon shows the way!
00:48:55Are you listening to me?
00:48:57Dad might need us at home, you know?
00:48:59I thought we would've found another clue by now.
00:49:02I know what this is!
00:49:03You're trying to prove something.
00:49:04But this crazy adventure is stupid!
00:49:07Here, water flow from down below.
00:49:09And look no more.
00:49:13You found the door!
00:49:24Dawan, look at this place!
00:49:26You're seriously going in there?
00:49:28I mean, first of all, it's probably not safe.
00:49:31And secondly, it's gotta be haunted.
00:49:35You don't have to prove anything to me, you know.
00:49:38Kai, this isn't about me or you.
00:49:40It's about our family, our friends, our lives.
00:49:44Everything will be taken away.
00:49:46Do you want that?
00:49:47I thought if maybe I want this, I could fix things.
00:49:51But I didn't.
00:49:52I know I can help save our home and the village, Kai.
00:49:55And if no one wants to help, I'll do it alone.
00:49:59Here, take it if you want it.
00:50:01Go on home.
00:50:01I'm going in there.
00:50:03With or without you.
00:50:06Dawan?
00:50:07Dawan!
00:50:10Hey!
00:50:11Wait!
00:50:11I can't believe it!
00:50:14She's done it to me again!
00:50:16Dawan!
00:50:17Wait!
00:50:25Huh?
00:50:45Nice one, eh?
00:50:46Cuban, eh?
00:50:49I wish you could have seen their faces when I knocked down their school pie, right?
00:50:54They were all like, boo-hoo!
00:50:57Oh, let's go!
00:51:01Well, by tomorrow afternoon, there'll be a village full of boo-hoo!
00:51:09Just think, my friend.
00:51:10We're only days away from laying the foundations of our new empire!
00:51:16Calls for a drink, wouldn't you say?
00:51:20What?
00:51:20You think I'm going to get it for you?
00:51:22Go!
00:51:22And don't forget to get one for me!
00:51:24And stay away from those imported ones!
00:51:27They're expensive.
00:51:32Perot!
00:51:37Sam Chai!
00:51:37My friend!
00:51:38I need to talk to you about this taxation issue.
00:51:41You know that man came again?
00:51:43He knocked over the school...
00:51:44Sam Chai, Sam Chai.
00:51:45Have you ever considered that maybe it's time things changed around here?
00:51:49That we welcome the 21st century instead of hiding from it?
00:51:52Dawan mentioned the decree.
00:51:54She seemed to think that, well, the decree says you own everything,
00:51:57so you should be able to get this man to leave us alone.
00:51:59That's what she thinks, eh?
00:52:01You listen to your daughter's advice a lot.
00:52:03Well, it's true, isn't it?
00:52:04I mean, you can help.
00:52:05Listen, Sam Chai.
00:52:06I like you.
00:52:07I always have.
00:52:09I'll be happy to have you as part of the family,
00:52:11but there's a few things you need to consider.
00:52:14What are you talking about?
00:52:19I said stay away from the expensive ones!
00:52:22I can't stop the changes heading our way, Sam Chai,
00:52:25but I can take advantage of them.
00:52:27The village is worth a lot more than you know,
00:52:29and according to the decree, this is all mine.
00:52:33You're a smart man.
00:52:35I can always use a smart man on my side.
00:52:38Now, as soon as you realize, you listen to me.
00:52:40Not the other villagers, and certainly not your daughter.
00:52:44The sooner you'll see the benefits that I can give you.
00:52:47I mean, wouldn't you like to help me build this for real?
00:52:51This is your doing?
00:52:54All of it?
00:52:55There are no taxes, are there?
00:52:57It's all a plan for you to sell this land and build on it.
00:53:01Didn't I say he was a smart man, you Chai?
00:53:07So be it, Sam Chai.
00:53:09Consider yourself warned.
00:53:11Tomorrow we knock it all down.
00:53:13All of it!
00:53:14We'll see about that.
00:53:16Smell poop-mart.
00:53:19Dawan, I can't see a thing.
00:53:22The smell of fire takes you higher?
00:53:25No, that's not it.
00:53:26What are you muttering about?
00:53:27We should have been more prepared.
00:53:34Whoa!
00:53:36Cool!
00:53:38Just follow the fireflies!
00:53:39Hi!
00:53:40I'm trying to remember the next part of the rhyme.
00:53:43The tree was in the first part.
00:53:45Then the sound of the water.
00:53:47But...
00:53:48I don't remember the next part.
00:53:50I don't remember where to go.
00:53:52I thought you were scared of this place.
00:53:54Is it the ghosts?
00:53:56Uh...
00:53:56Not ghosts.
00:53:57My wives live here.
00:53:59They can be a little...
00:54:00D-demanding.
00:54:02Wives?!
00:54:03Where?!
00:54:05Dawan, you know this is a burial site, right?
00:54:10Smell sacred fire from funeral pyre.
00:54:14You remember something, don't you?
00:54:16Come on, handsome one.
00:54:17Tell us the rest.
00:54:18Handsome one?
00:54:20Dawan!
00:54:21He's a bird!
00:54:22Do you seriously think?
00:54:23Smell sacred fire from funeral pyre.
00:54:26That's it!
00:54:27Hey!
00:54:28Hello?
00:54:29Funeral pyre?
00:54:32Smell that.
00:54:34Smells like incense.
00:54:36And ash!
00:54:37Sacred fire!
00:54:38It's this way!
00:54:41Well done!
00:55:09Whoa!
00:55:10Look out!
00:55:11Coming through, man!
00:55:13Whoa!
00:55:15Whoa!
00:55:16Whoa!
00:55:16Whoa!
00:55:17Whoa!
00:55:17Whoa!
00:55:21Hey!
00:55:22Hey!
00:55:22Hey!
00:55:23I was a demon!
00:55:24An incense burner.
00:55:26We're getting closer, Kai.
00:55:28The place to trust is on the dust!
00:55:30On the dust?
00:55:33On the dust?
00:55:34Is that one?
00:55:35What are you doing?
00:55:38Hey!
00:55:39Whoa!
00:55:43Whoa!
00:55:45Whoa!
00:55:46Whoa!
00:55:47Whoa!
00:55:47Whoa!
00:55:49Whoa!
00:55:49Whoa!
00:55:53Whoa!
00:55:55Whoa!
00:55:55Oh!
00:56:10Oh!
00:56:14Woo!
00:56:36It was Perot all this time, planning to kick us out of our homes.
00:56:40Planning to build what? Casinos? A hotel?
00:56:44Building a hotel?
00:56:45Who's he talking about?
00:56:46What about him?
00:56:47He lied to me! To everyone!
00:56:49Sunshine! Sunshine! Wait! What's wrong?
00:56:53I've tried. All my life, I've tried to look out for the ones I love, and I have failed them.
00:56:58I've been such an idiot, trusting Perot.
00:57:01Tomorrow he'll come, with that big bully, and then...
00:57:05Vroom! Crash!
00:57:06And there's nothing we can do to stop it.
00:57:10Maybe there is.
00:57:19Well...
00:57:20Well, now what?
00:57:28It's... it's sugar cane!
00:57:31Tastes fun, so sweet. A welcome treat.
00:57:35But navigate the way?
00:57:39It's a maze!
00:57:44Navigate the way! Navigate the way!
00:57:46She wants us to follow her!
00:57:52Just call me if you need me!
00:57:55That's what you told us...
00:57:58To...
00:57:59Oh...
00:58:00You just let Dawan go into the jungle alone?
00:58:03Chasing after a lost temple?
00:58:04I didn't let her, sir. She just went. You know, when Dawan puts her mind to something.
00:58:10She said Kai was going with her.
00:58:12Well, at least he'll look out for her.
00:58:14With all due respect, I think it will be the other way around.
00:58:20So you say she's after another decree? I never heard of such a thing.
00:58:24It is possible that there's another copy out there, or even another version.
00:58:28And if what Dawan says is true, and she finds it, it will stop Perot from selling the land.
00:58:34Perot and his whole family have been lying to us all for years. Not just about these taxes, but about
00:58:40everything.
00:58:41But he's still going to destroy the village, and soon! How are we going to stop that?
00:58:50What? Why are you all looking at me?
00:58:52Well, you fixed our roof when it leaked last year!
00:58:56And you fixed our front door!
00:58:57And you fixed my fence!
00:58:58And our toys!
00:58:59And my yip! Oh no wait, that was the other young man.
00:59:02It's what you do, son. You fix things.
00:59:05I'm sure if you put your mind to it, you'll come up with a solution.
00:59:09What about it? What am I going to do against Perot's bulldozers?
00:59:13I can barely keep my family together. How am I supposed to do this?
00:59:17You've got your machines, haven't you? And an army.
00:59:21That's right!
00:59:25But Dawan and Kai...
00:59:26Are fine.
00:59:27You know, if anyone could find the real decree hidden in the jungle...
00:59:32It's Dawan!
00:59:38Dawan!
00:59:39Dawan!
01:00:14Dawan!
01:00:22Dawan!
01:00:23Dawan!
01:00:24Dawan!
01:00:26Dawan!
01:00:27I think... I think they want to help.
01:01:23I think they want to help.
01:01:30I think they want to help.
01:02:01I told you this place was haunted.
01:02:12I think it's time we got out of here, sis.
01:02:26I think it's time we got out of here.
01:02:59I think it's time we got out of here.
01:03:11Hi!
01:03:12The exit's still way over there.
01:03:14Hi!
01:03:15It's over there!
01:03:19I know how to get out.
01:03:28Miss me?
01:03:31Hold on, sis!
01:03:46I know how to get out of here.
01:03:52I know how to get out of here.
01:03:54I know how to get out of here.
01:04:18Move aside, you old baggage.
01:04:20I won't warn you again.
01:04:21Well, then I won't warn you about not crossing this line.
01:04:25I know how to get out of here.
01:04:55I said...
01:04:57Move!
01:05:00I said...
01:05:03Hey!
01:05:04Fuck you!
01:05:05Get off you, lad!
01:05:29I know how to get out of here.
01:05:36Oh!
01:05:37Oh!
01:05:38Oh!
01:05:38Oh!
01:05:40Oh!
01:05:41Oh!
01:05:42Oh!
01:05:43Oh!
01:05:44Oh!
01:05:47Oh!
01:05:48Oh!
01:05:49Whoa!
01:05:50As you can see, we monkeys are on the technological edge, the next generation of power!
01:05:56We will take over the world!
01:05:57Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
01:06:06Yeah!
01:06:07Woohoo!
01:06:09Ah!
01:06:25What?!
01:06:26What?
01:06:26Oof!
01:06:28No!
01:06:31Open up!
01:06:32Open the door!
01:06:37Well, it's nice that someone in your family help someone else...
01:06:41...once.
01:06:42Lacey! Good for nothing, Opa Vassan!
01:06:44You're nothing but a spoiled, selfish and ignorant bully.
01:06:48You're nothing but a spoiled...
01:06:50Lacey!
01:06:50Opa Vassan!
01:06:52Opa Vassan!
01:06:53Help me!
01:06:56Thank you!
01:06:57You just had to help Benz, didn't you?
01:07:00He's a jerk, Kai. But I couldn't just leave him there.
01:07:03Well, that's nice and all, but how are we going to get out?
01:07:06Hey!
01:07:16I'm sorry.
01:07:18I wasn't gonna leave you.
01:07:21It was just a joke.
01:07:24Here.
01:07:30Hey, wait up!
01:07:58Hey, Bubba.
01:08:01Well, give me that.
01:08:03Watch out, man!
01:08:18Are you sure you know where you're going, sis?
01:08:35Excellent, Dawan! You did it!
01:08:38Now, hurry!
01:08:39All of you, follow us!
01:08:42Quickly!
01:08:44We'd also cut to the village!
01:08:48Hehehehe!
01:08:50Money makes it...
01:08:52Without crushing houses to the ground!
01:08:56Money!
01:08:57Yeah!
01:08:59Money makes it real sweet, without crushing houses to the ground!
01:09:04Huh?
01:09:44Somjai, look out!
01:09:46Somjai, look out!
01:09:59Somjai, Somjai...
01:10:15You lose, Somjai, and the rest of you!
01:10:18This land is mine! To do with as I please!
01:10:22No, it's not!
01:10:32What's that supposed to be?
01:10:33You know what it is, nephew!
01:10:36It's the decree, the real one!
01:10:38The one that says this land belongs to all of us, Perot, not you!
01:10:45It's in an older dialect, but I think I could make it out!
01:10:50I, King Ramalan, in thanks of the efforts of the people of Kaolio...
01:10:55That's our village!
01:10:56Yes, do hereby decree that they shall be united as the ones who will care for and prosper of this
01:11:03land of theirs!
01:11:04I think it means it's ours!
01:11:06And I'm sure we can get an expert to verify it too!
01:11:15Well, you know what they say...
01:11:17Tear today, gone tomorrow!
01:11:22You've got nothing!
01:11:23And soon you'll have even less!
01:11:43You can't do this, Perot!
01:11:44You can't just knock down our homes!
01:11:46We won't let you get away with it!
01:11:48Oh, really?
01:11:49Oh, really?
01:12:00No!
01:12:25No!
01:12:26No, no, no, no!
01:12:28No, no, no
01:12:40No!
01:12:51No!
01:12:53No!
01:12:54No!
01:12:55No!
01:12:57No!
01:12:58No! No!
01:13:15Huh? My babies.
01:13:18Don't worry. Daddy will look after you.
01:13:20You were wrong, Harat. We've got everything. You just don't see it.
01:13:24Silly girl! I have the land. It's still mine!
01:13:27Your so-called real decree is nothing but dust.
01:13:31Taste plants so sweet. A welcome treat. But navigate the way.
01:13:38The true decree is there, you see. You feel it on the clay.
01:13:42No.
01:13:43It's here! The real decree!
01:13:45Darwin's right.
01:13:47She did it.
01:13:49Oh, Darwin. My daughter. Please.
01:13:53No happy endings for you, freeloaders.
01:13:57Give me that. Stand back. Nothing can get in my way.
01:14:00Nothing. Nothing.
01:14:04Oh, God.
01:14:13Oh, my babies.
01:14:16Oh, my babies. Oh, my babies.
01:14:25Darwin, I think this belongs to you.
01:14:28No, Benz. It belongs to all of us.
01:14:32There's hope for you yet, young man.
01:14:37The scholarship is yours. You deserve it.
01:14:46Wah-ha!
01:15:04I'm stepping up. I'm reaching high for a world beyond the mornings that I've seen with my eyes.
01:15:16No fear will stop the hope I've found beyond the dark of night.
01:15:22The dawn will bring you meaning as it shines in the new sky.
01:15:32Dreams, they really can come true.
01:15:36And all I really had to do is believe that though it's hard sometimes, I know I've found the strength
01:15:53inside.
01:15:58To sing to the dawn of hope, since love restored the faith I hold, and I believe in who I
01:16:14am inside.
01:16:15Now I've found the strength to live my life.
01:16:22I'll sing to a brand new dawn.
01:16:46You'll never know if you never try.
01:16:52You'll make it a long, long way.
01:16:59If you believe.
01:17:03You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:11You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:12You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:13You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:13You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:16You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:19You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:20You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:20You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:20You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:20You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:21You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:22You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:23You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:23You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:28You'll never know if you never try.
01:17:52Have you ever stopped to wonder how much more it could be
01:17:56If we all just work together, I'm not talking about just you and me
01:18:02It's everybody holding on, not letting go
01:18:06Of the unity that comes when we're one voice, one whole
01:18:11Mother Nature smiles at you when you're hand in hand
01:18:16Nobody walks the road alone when we understand
01:18:20Then Mother Nature smiles at you when you're sharing love
01:18:25Takes you and me and all we see to make this work
01:18:34Have you ever stopped to wonder how much more it could be
01:18:39If we all just work together, I'm not talking about just you and me
01:18:44It's everybody holding on, not letting go

01:19:17Nobody walks the road alone when we understand
01:19:21Then Mother Nature smiles at you when you're sharing love
01:19:26Takes you and me and all we see to make this work
01:19:35Oh no! Get up! No more! No more! I've had enough!
01:19:44I've had enough! I've had enough! I've had enough!
01:19:48If you don't do something, maybe I've had enough!
01:19:50Some people are more healthy!
01:19:50I've had enough time for patients to carry a lot
