I'm the Most Beautiful Count (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

This time, I’ve caught up to you at last.
Give yourself up nicely.
Tell your soldiers
to come at me all at once.
Keep an eye on Jade.
He might know
where Kosol and Worradej are.
Worradej.
Are you crazy, Pandao?
Where did you hide Kosol?
Hide what? I don’t know anything.
Ever since I time-traveled here,
it’s been non-stop chaos, Prince.
Always something new.
Jade, climb up now!
Yes, sir.
Be careful.
I’ll help pull the rope.
My Lord!
Sir!
- Stop.
- Stop!
- Stop.
- Let go!
- Stop it, I said!
- Let me go!
My Lord!
- Let go of me!
- Stay still, damn it!
Don’t move.
SINGHANAKHON PRISON
Thanks.
Let’s say we’re helping each other out.
But I’ll give you only the time
it takes to boil an egg.
If the master finds out, I’ll be scolded.
Banjong.
How is Worradej?
Did the Count capture him?
No.
He wasn’t caught.
Then where is he now?
Answer me, Banjong.
Where is Worradej now?
He said he was going
to see King Chaiyached.
- But…
- But what, Banjong?
Tell me what really happened.
Nothing.
Nothing happened.
I'm just worried about you.
Locked up in prison…
It must be rough for you.
Oh, please.
Don’t spout nonsense to my face.
This is the time we need to be planning.
I already have a plan.
The day I walk through fire
will be the day we claim victory.
Hurry up.
I’m giving you only the time
it takes to boil an egg.
Thank you so much, sir.
Lord Kosol! Lord Kosol, sir!
Something happened!
I honestly don’t know
who else I can turn to.
If people outside can’t help you,
how can someone like me in prison help?
Please, hear me out first.
The Count just snuck
into the Singhapiman Palace,
begging the King for your pardon.
But suddenly, a gunshot rang out,
and the Count fell
into the palace grounds.
What did you say?
Worradej was shot?
Yes, sir.
I don’t know if he’s alive or dead.
I tried to go after him,
but the guards threw me out.
Here’s how you deal with soldiers.
The second vertebra of the neck.
Fix your aim on it.
Then strike down with force.
He’ll be out cold in no time.
And how hard do I strike
to knock him out in one blow?
As much force as you can muster,
that’s how hard you strike.
Back again?
Looking for another beating, huh?
No, sir. I came to report something.
What happened?
Hey, look over there.
What are you looking for?
I’m searching for Count Worradej.
My desire… How far have you gone with it?
You keep nagging me.
I already know your deepest wish,
to make Banjong
fall in love with you, right?
Give it time, sister.
When it comes to men, I’m a pro.
It’s just right now,
I’m caught up dealing with Kosol.
No.
My desire is not only about Banjong.
It’s about Kosol too.
Oh my God.
Wait, don’t tell me you want me to…
Playing both sides, huh?
Would people in this era even accept that?
A wife with two husbands?
This isn’t about love.
I didn’t die because of love.
If it wasn’t love, then tell me
what you want me to do.
Stop with the riddles.
I’m tired of guessing.
You already know this.
Because my desire is the same as yours.
My desire is your desire…
My desire is your desire…
My desire is your desire…
My desire is your desire…
My desire is your desire…
My Lord, you’re alive.
My Lord!
Jade.
Your Majesty.
May I ask, like a heroine
who just woke from a coma,
where am I?
And how did I end up here?
This is the Singhapiman Palace.
You climbed over here yourself,
didn’t you?
The guards said you were shot,
but only grazed on the arm.
So I had the royal physician treat you.
It is Your Majesty’s boundless grace.
No need for formality. You’re still hurt.
At that moment,
I couldn’t remember a thing.
I suddenly blacked out.
You must’ve hit your head when you fell.
That’s why you lost consciousness.
Who hates you so much
they’d want you dead?
This is the second
assassination attempt, isn’t it?
Seems you and I share the same enemies.
That’s true, Your Majesty.
But let’s put that aside for now.
The reason I climbed
into the palace tonight
was to deliver something important.
Lord Kosol is not the one
trying to assassinate you.
Please cancel the trial by fire.
I already know that.
Kosol would never wish me harm.
In fact, he’s been nothing but loyal.
Then…
Why would you still send him to the trial?
That’s like sending him
to die for nothing.
Because of Lord Singhanakhon, your father.
He kept pestering me,
insisting Kosol tried to kill me,
while he himself plotted
with King Saenyakorn.
I didn’t know what else to do,
so I sent Kosol into the trial first,
planning to save him later.
So that means
you already have a way to save him, right?
What’s the plan, Your Majesty?
I haven’t figured it out yet.
Help me think of one.
Are you serious?
Hurry, Count.
I’m giving you only the time
it takes to boil an egg.
Then make it an ostrich egg, darling,
so I get more time.
Kosol.
Was Worradej shot?
No one knows if he’s alive or dead.
Kosol, are you all right?
They didn’t torture you,
force you to confess anything, did they?
Worry about yourself first.
Weren’t you the one ambushed?
How bad is it?
It’s nothing serious. Just a graze.
Luckily King Chaiyached found me,
so he had the royal physician treat me.
Fine then.
So why are you here?
Don’t you know
you’re disturbing my training?
Hey, I came out of concern.
Why must you speak so coldly?
The reason I came…
Come here.
Kosol.
What?
Come closer.
Just say it already.
I don’t like secrets.
This can’t be said out loud.
It has to be whispered.
Quickly.
King Chaiyached
knows you’re not the one
who tried to kill him.
But he must hold the trial by fire
to keep the nobles fooled.
He’ll find a way to save you later.
For heaven’s sake,
I thought it was serious.
Go back and tell him
there’s no need
to trouble himself finding a way.
I’m ready to face the trial.
Whether it’s fire or water,
I’m always ready.
Hey.
Don’t get cocky, Kosol.
The reason I came today
is to break you out of prison.
I won’t go.
I choose to stay here.
What kind of man likes staying in jail?
Or do you already have a plan of your own?
No plan.
Hey, Mister Vibe Killer,
you sure love killing the vibe.
Brother Banjong.
Any word on Worradej?
I shot him.
When he was on the palace wall.
He fell into the palace grounds.
By now, he’s probably dead.
Let him be dead for real,
so we can finally rest easy.
And when you spoke with Kosol,
what did you find out?
The day of the trial by fire
will be our day of victory.
A grand move indeed.
I’ll tell you the plan later.
For now, we need to move
into Kosol’s house.
Because the Count already knows
I’ve sided with Kosol.
Hurry and pack only the essentials.
Go.
I’ve finished packing.
Take only what’s necessary.
Once we reach Kosol’s house,
we’ll regroup.
I still doubt Worradej’s fate.
I have a feeling he’s not dead yet.
I shot him with my own hand.
Are you saying I missed?
That’s not it.
And this isn’t the time to argue over it.
I heard news.
The Count’s men are heading to our house.
We need to go, now.
Go.
Lord Banjong, open the door now!
If you don’t, I’ll break it down.
Kosol,
tell me your plan.
I don’t believe
you’d just surrender
and burn without a scheme.
My plan is to slaughter a cow,
skewer it, and roast it in my place.
Then I’ll hand it out
to the villagers to feast on.
Oh, come on, that’s not funny.
Be serious.
Haven’t things always gone well before?
Or if you’ve forgotten,
shall I refresh your memory
through these bars?
Hey.
Don’t think you can just
force yourself on anyone.
You do it to me,
I’ll do it right back to you.
Eye for an eye.
Tooth for a tooth.
Hey!
What are you two doing?
Give me a little more time.
Go boil ten more eggs if you have to.
I’ll pay you in full.
That’s impossible, sir.
The Lord is already on his way here.
Lord Kosol.
Stand and pay your respects
to the Count right now.
Lord Kosol, did you hear my command?
Forget it.
He’s already as good as dead.
Let him do whatever he wants.
Kosol,
I’ve captured Banjong and his men already.
If you don’t want your friends to die,
you better tell me
what you were planning
while gathering your forces.
If you’ve already caught them,
then ask them.
Why bother asking me?
You’re supposed to be a grown man.
Lying doesn’t suit you.
I know
Banjong and his men escaped
before you even got to their house.
Don’t play games with me.
No food or water for him starting today
until the trial by fire.
Darling.
Kosol.
Kosol.
Even if you act cold
and pretend you don’t care,
I still can’t help worrying about you.
So I’ll ask you one last time.
Will you run away with me?
Fine.
If you won’t leave,
then I’ll stay here with you.
Hey, hey, wait.
What are you doing?
Come here.
Easy, darling!
Please, go ahead.
Next time, be gentle with me, darling.
- No rush, no pressure.
- Hey!
Worradej,
how did they manage to lock you up?
What happened?
If I tell you, don’t get jealous.
I just
stole a couple of kisses
from the guard’s cheek.
So they threw me in here with you.
What a mess.
Turns out,
loving the same sex
is as serious as treason here.
It’s done, Your Majesty.
If there’s nothing else,
I’ll take my leave
and report to the Count.
He's been gone so long,
I was really worried.
Jade.
Yes, sir.
I’ve watched you many times.
You’re loyal, devoted,
and love with your whole heart.
Enough to even die for it.
I’ll take you in as one of my royal pages.
I’m just a fool, Your Majesty.
I can’t even read.
If I serve by your side,
I’d only become a burden.
You’re already surrounded
by so many able men.
I’m not worthy, Your Majesty.
It’s those around me that I fear the most.
The reason I came to Singhanakhon
is because in the Grand Palace,
someone plotted against me.
I had to flee, pretending
I came to visit my brother.
See, even the royal guards
who’ve followed me for years
cannot be trusted.
The river bend ahead,
that’s where the nobles
have hidden assassins, waiting.
Prepare yourself well.
Your Majesty.
Please, board the boat.
So we can continue the journey quickly.
I fear nightfall will catch us.
Wait here a moment.
I’ve got a stomachache.
Need to step into the market
for a quick errand.
Please don’t, Your Majesty.
I’ll hang a cloth for cover.
Then Your Majesty may relieve yourself
in the royal chamber pot.
No way. I hate chamber pots.
Sitting on them chills me to the bone.
Don’t follow me.
I’ll be back in just a moment.
Thief! Thief!
- Thief! He stole the cloth!
- Stop! Stop right there, you thief!
From king to common thief,
can you imagine
how tragic my life has become?
Even here in Singhanakhon,
no one can be trusted.
These days,
I can't sleep peacefully at night.
Wherever I walk, I must watch my back.
Every meal I eat,
I first toss to the dogs to test.
Jade,
be my personal page.
But I belong to Count Singhanakhon.
Whatever your ransom may be,
I can pay it. Don’t you worry.
I’ve served Count Worradej
for decades, faithfully.
I don’t want to…
- I don’t want--
- I am the King.
Everything in this land is mine.
Would Worradej really defy me?
If I can’t take you from him,
then so be it.
Why made that look?
You don’t want to be with me?
I wouldn’t dare disobey, sire.
Good.
Then from this moment on,
you will serve only me.
As you command, Your Majesty.
Your first duty…
Rock my cradle.
Yes, sire.
Jade.
Harder.
Jade, harder.
Why that face again?
Is it okay?
Harder.
Careful, you’ll fall in the water.
How deep could it be?
I’m scared.
Jade.
Go fetch me the bamboo cicada.
Yes, sire.
Here, sire.
Are you hungry?
Not at all.
Then what’s that growling in your stomach?
Don’t tell me it’s thunder.
Stop distracting me, will you?
I’m hypnotizing myself.
Full. So full.
Stuffed.
Serves you right.
You really think prison life is fun, huh?
It’s because of you.
I even threw myself in here
to be with you.
Will you finally tell me your plan?
Why should you know?
Because I care about you.
I don’t want you to die.
If you’re planning something reckless,
I need to stop you.
Even if I know I can’t stop you.
I’m glad that you worry about me.
But the reason I can’t share my plan
is because I worry about you too.
So, that means…
your plan is really dangerous, isn’t it?
Tell me right now, Kosol.
The more I love you,
the less I can tell you.
Then stop loving me
and just tell me already.
I can’t stop. My heart’s already yours.
I just want to grab your hair
and give you a double kick.
Wait.
Don’t be stubborn.
I’m starving.
Hang in there a bit longer.
My Lord.
Jade.
How did you end up in there, sir?
What happened?
Forget that for now.
Do you have any food on you?
I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday.
I brought some with me, my Lord.
Knew you’d been gone all night.
You must be starving.
Here, my Lord.
Perfect placement too.
Had to sneak it past the guards.
Thanks.Then I’ll dig in first.
- Here.
- I’m not hungry.
Just shut up and eat already.
Thanks.
So tell me.
How did you end up
locked in here, my Lord?
Did you break some rule?
I was trying to squeeze
a secret out of Kosol.
So I kissed the guard’s cheek,
and he threw me straight in here.
Did you get the secret?
Got nothing at all.
Then…
How long will you
be stuck in here, my Lord?
Probably a while.
I don’t even know myself.
Ouch.
What the hell are you doing?
Get in!
Jade.
What have you done?
I won’t let my master suffer.
Wherever my master goes, I go.
Always ready to serve.
Jade, where are you?
Jade.
Jade.
Have you seen Jade?
He left the palace at dawn.
Said he was heading to the prison
to find Count Worradej.
Still clinging to his old master, huh?
Of course.
Guess I’ll never mean as much as Worradej.
So, what about the plan?
Same as I told you.
The trial is in two days.
Are all sides set and ready?
Our allies have all replied, brother.
And we’ve prepared everything we need.
Good.
Then all that’s left is waiting.
Once the whistle blows,
everyone, follow the plan now.
Ready?
Lord Banjong, surrender yourself now.
Stay back.
Why must Lord Banjong surrender?
We found Lord Kosol at your estate.
You’re guilty of sheltering a traitor.
And thus, treason yourself.
If you want him, then break down the door.
Smash it open.
- Come in. Come on.
- Wait.
Stop.
If we clash with the law today,
it could ruin everything
two days from now.
I will surrender.
Brother Banjong.
- But our plan--
- Pandao. I can’t afford to fail this time.
I leave it to you now.
Unbolt the door.
Open it.
Put the chains on me.
I’ll go willingly.
Banjong.
Worradej.
Is that really you?
How did you end up here?
I should be the one asking.
How did you get here?
I was arrested for hiding Lord Kosol.
But tell me.
Are you alright?
I’m fine.
Why would you even ask that?
Worradej.
Tell Banjong about the ambush.
When I was climbing the palace wall,
some lunatic took a shot at me.
Lucky for me, his aim was off.
The bullet just grazed my arm.
I’m glad, Worradej,
that you’re still alive.
Was it you who fired?
I told you once,
never lay a finger on Worradej.
And you dared defy me?
Do you have a death wish?
I had no choice.
Worradej could blow our plan.
But you saw it yourself.
He chose to be locked up with me.
That means he's on our side.
Hey.
What are you talking about?
Are you plotting something?
Banjong, tell me right now.
No.
There’s no plan.
Kosol just asked me
what I had for breakfast.
Oh, please.
I’ve been nothing but honest with you two,
and you’re still hiding things from me?
Fine.
Do whatever the hell you want.
I’m done with this.
- Worradej.
- Don’t.
If you say Worradej is with us,
then he deserves to know the plan.
The fewer people who know, the better.
I won’t risk dragging him
into danger with us.
Master.
You can rest your head on my lap.
Thanks, love.
Banjong.
What is it?
Lie down.
I want you to rest easy.
Don’t resist.
Hey.
Lie down.
Jade. Stroke my hair for me.
I shouldn’t.
The head is sacred.
Come on.
When I can’t sleep,
I like someone stroking my hair.
Then… may I?
You like me doing this, Banjong?
Not really.
So you like it or not?
Fine, I do.
Jade, spank me a little.
Yes, my lord.
Go to sleep, Banjong.
I’ll lull you myself.
Lullaby, lullaby.
Peek-a-boo.
Jade, give me a goodnight kiss.
What? My Lord.
Kiss me and say sweet dreams.
I don’t dare, My Lord.
Come on now.
Don’t you want me to dream well?
I do, My Lord.
Then go on…
Sweet dreams, My Lord.
Sweet dreams, darling.
Banjong.
Tomorrow’s fire trial must go flawlessly.
Prepare the troops
in case of any emergency.
Count.
Right now, Lord Kosol, Lord Banjong, Jade,
and Count Worradej
are all locked up together
What?
- Worradej too?
- Yes, My Lord.
Good.
I’ll throw them all into the fire trial.
What a damn stroke of luck.
Two fairies handed to me
on a silver platter.
And the other two waltzed
into my cage themselves.
Perfect.
Tomorrow I’ll drag you all
into the fire ritual before the crowd.
Now that’ll be a show worth watching.
The one who must walk through fire
to prove himself is only me.
Why drag the others into it?
Because you’re all in the same pack
plotting rebellion together.
Did you think I wouldn’t know?
And you, Banjong.
While you worked by my side,
you spied on me.
Did you really think you could fool me?
If I were a fool,
I wouldn’t be Lord of this city
If you want to punish me, then do it.
But please let Worradej and Jade go.
They know nothing of this, I swear.
Worradej…
you ungrateful brat.
You’re coming with me.
I’ve got a special punishment
just for you.
Let Worradej go.
- Don’t!
- Come out!
- Don’t come closer!
- Get out now!
Let go! Let go!
Let go. I’m not going.
Let go! Let go!
I’m not going.
I’ll stay here with my friends.
Open the door!
- I said open it!
- Worradej!
Ungrateful brat, I broke you out,
and you want to run back and die?
Do I need to beat some sense into you?
Father and son fighting?
Now that’s entertaining.
Ta-da!
Worradej, what are you doing?
I’ll use science to craft a miracle.
My beloved stans, give Mama a minute.
I’ll be back on stage real soon.
Where are you going?
I’m heading back home.
I don’t even know how to get there yet.
Or which way to go.
Why’s it so damn hard being queer?
