*Warning* Possible spoilers!?!
I forget where I read it from, but the P'ek isn't poisoned and doesn't have down syndrome. He's suppose to be the only son of some obscenely rich parents, and when they died, his uncle took over their property/assets. He needed to get "rid of" the son, so he built a private mental institution for Lom Huan. To make Lom Huan "crazy," the hospital gives him shots everyday. The shots make him "punya oon" or "kid-like." For those that are watching, the male nurse guy (who's nice) tries to help Lom Huan and figures out with the N'ek that Lom Huan is not mentally retarded...he has an IQ like a normal person, but is made to be like he's mentally retarded. The uncle soon finds out that the N'ek and the make nurse guy is beginning to know that there's nothing wrong with Lom Huan, so his henchmen goes after them. I think the male nurse is killed and the N'ek and Lom Huan have to escape into the forest. That's where Lom Huan gets better, I think. Because the effects of the shots wears off.
This is from memory. Hopefully, it's close to what I read. My memory's not so good nowadays! Sorry, if some things are mixed up (or untrue?). However, I just don't think that the P'ek's brain is going to be stuck as a 7 year olds. I don't think that the lakorn writes would do that. (but I must admit, I also read that the P'ek was poisoned as well...but I think it was a rumor?) Hmmm....
Happy lakorn watching, everyone!
