I'm the Most Beautiful Count (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

Worradej, what are you doing?
I’ll use science to create miracles.
At the Fire Crossing Ritual,
when I step into the flames,
you begin the operation right away.
Who are you?
Which side are you on?
The mission is complete.
I’ll be back on stage soon.
Worradej, take me home now.
I need to get back for my concert.
No way.
Worradej, did you scream from a nightmare?
A nightmare, yeah.
But I wasn’t dreaming.
And my name’s not Worradej.
I’m going home.
Where are you going?
Home, obviously.
But I don’t even know how to get back.
Or which way to go.
Why’s it so damn hard being queer?
And now I gotta deal with all this too.
You don’t have a home to return to now.
Lord Singha's ship
was dismantled to use the wood
for building the pier.
All the treasures were sold off
and given to the villagers.
In fact, you, as the Count’s child,
were sentenced to forced labor.
But it was me who brought you here.
Kosol.
Tell me honestly.
Your mission with Banjong,
what else are you planning?
Can you tell me, please?
Tell me, please.
Didn’t you hear what Chaiyached said?
That our next mission
is to storm the capital
and take down Somdet Saenyakorn,
who’s seized power.
And if we succeed,
we’ll be able to change the law.
And you
must stay and help me.
Me?
Helping you?
To change the law?
I’m an idol, you know.
I’m not some kind of revolutionary.
You’re talking nonsense again.
Come here.
Last night, you pleased me so much.
Let’s go for another round.
Wait, hold on, Kosol.
Talk about this revolution first.
What else are you planning?
Tell me right now.
We’ll talk later.
No. Let's talk.
Talk first.
ROYAL PALACE OF THANAPURA
Now,
Lord Singhanakhon has been stripped
of his rank and position as governor.
The city of Singhanakhon is under
Lord Kosol and the Revolutionary Council.
King Chaiyached is also under our custody.
Let Somdet Saenyakorn, Lord Kalahom,
step down from power
that was never his in the first place.
So there’ll be no bloodshed.
Ready the troops.
We’ll go to war soon.
Yes, My Lord.
Law
is the set of rules
established by the state,
or those in power,
used as a tool to enforce actions
that fulfill society’s goals.
Oh! Hello there.
Mr. Pinyapat,
you do realize,
if the police were here,
you’d already be arrested.
What, just for dozing off in class?
That’s enough to get arrested?
Isn’t that a bit cruel?
It’s not about sleeping.
It’s about how you act
against your birth gender.
You’re a man.
You can’t be acting feminine like that.
Yes, Teacher.
Then I’ll be careful from now on.
Mr. Pinyapat.
What now, Teacher?
That hairclip, take it off too.
This very law was enacted
in the Thanapura Kingdom
by Somdet Saenyakorn
and has been enforced ever since.
Phin, we heard that today
you have something important
to announce to your fans?
Yes, it’s
something that’s been weighing
on me for a long time,
ever since I entered the industry.
And today I feel like
I don’t need to hide this any longer.
I’m going to announce to everyone that…
I…
- Huh?
- What?
What?
I am queer!
And from now on,
let’s make it clear, I’m Prince.
‪SAENYA TONIGH
Say it together, Prince.
Prince.
I’ll stop lying to myself and to everyone.
I’ll shine and show the world
the most fabulous version of me.
Uh…
Phin, don’t. Please don’t.
You’ll get in trouble.
Then let me face it.
If our country still has laws like these,
even if it’s a court order
or an arrest warrant,
I’ll gladly take it.
Better than losing my true self.
All of us…
We all have the right to be ourselves.
And everyone has the right
to be beautiful.
He’s the first to spark
a revolution in the idol scene.
The first LGBTQ+ idol
in the nation of Saenya.
Give it up for Prince
and his fearless courage.
Come to think of it,
I guess I’ve got a streak
of rebellion in me too.
If today we could take down
Somdet Saenyakorn,
we’d abolish the anti-queer law
from this country right away.
So us queers won’t keep suffering
under it for hundreds of years.
Including me, in the future.
That would be so fabulous.
Moo Moo.
Where is Papa?
Well, Mama just needs
to have a little talk with Papa.
Just a bit.
No answer.
Such an unfriendly look.
So this is what they call
"braving the tiger with a kind heart".
Moo Moo, my child.
Mama
brought some tasty meat for you.
It's so fresh.
Eat up, sweetie.
Yummy, go on.
I’ll feed you.
Let me feed you.
Good job.
One more piece.
Yummy, good boy
Good boy, yummy
Yummy, good boy
Good boy, so clever
We’re friends now.
Friends.
Don’t eat me, okay, Moo Moo?
Brother Banjong.
Brother Kosol has already
toppled the Count.
Why are you still so tense?
This overthrow,
besides the Count
and the soldiers loyal to him,
dragged others into prison too.
That includes the servants.
They had nothing to do
with the Count’s rebellion at all.
Yet they had to suffer too.
Are you worried about the servants
or about Worradej?
Don’t forget, he's the Count’s
own flesh and blood.
Worradej is with Kosol.
I’m not worried.
Kosol.
What?
What are you doing here?
If the officials see you,
they’ll send you to dig canals.
I’ve been stuck in my room
for three days. It reeks.
But the reason I came here
is because I have something
important to tell you.
I promise you’ll be glad to hear it.
You’re here to confess your love to me?
Oh, no. Of course not.
The reason I came here
is because after thinking it
over and over,
if we want to make the world
a better place,
we should start taking action from today.
So I’ve decided
that I’ll fight alongside you.
But on one condition.
You have to promise me first,
once you bring down Somdet Saenyakorn,
you’ll abolish the law
that punishes same-sex love.
Of course.
That very law was the reason
I was removed as Regent,
kept from being King,
and thrown into prison for years.
Fabulous.
We’re on the same page.
Shake on it.
And I’ll propose another new law.
What law?
Legalizing same-sex marriage.
And who will you marry then?
Isn’t it obvious?
There’s only one person.
You.
Your Majesty.
Well, this toy is convenient,
isn’t it, My Lord?
No need to call out and tire yourself.
You’ve been with my brother
for three days.
You look exhausted.
Seems my brother really wore you out.
Please don’t tease me like that, My Lord.
I’m still a man, My Lord.
This is embarrassing.
But at the ritual,
you kissed Kosol in front of everyone.
Now all of Singhanakhon knows
you two are lovers.
Still embarrassed?
We’re not lovers, My Lord.
What I did,
I only wanted to prove
Kosol didn’t force me into anything.
I don’t have feelings
beyond that, My Lord.
Please don’t read
too much into it, My Lord.
Oh, come on.
I thought we'd finally become in-laws.
Your Majesty…
By the way, where’s Jade?
Why isn’t he with you?
Jade didn’t come with me, My Lord.
Isn’t Jade here with Your Majesty?
No, he isn’t.
Ever since the Fire Ritual,
I haven’t seen him at all.
I thought he’d gone with you.
Chit, do you know
where Jade disappeared to?
I haven’t seen him for three days.
I heard the servants of captured nobles
were punished along with their masters.
I believe Jade
might be forced into hard labor
somewhere, Your Majesty.
Worradej, come search for Jade with me.
Wait, Your Majesty.
I don’t think this is right, My Lord.
You’re the King.
If you free him,
people will criticize you, My Lord.
Let me handle this instead, My Lord.
Once I know something, I’ll send word.
I’ll take my leave, My Lord.
- Move it.
- Put your back into it.
Hurry up, over there.
Don’t slack off, damn it.
Here too, hurry.
- Go, go, faster.
- Come on, load it up.
Come.
Let me help you, son.
Let’s go.
Can you manage?
Yeah, yeah, come on.
Move it, move it.
How are you, son? How are you feeling?
Hey, are you two slacking off?
Want me to whip you?
My boy’s not well.
Let him rest a bit, Master.
No way.
If others see him resting,
they’ll rest too.
When will the work get done?
I’ll get chewed out by the boss.
- Keep loading.
- How are you, son?
I'm okay.
Enough, enough.
Don’t.
Get up.
- How do we help him?
- If he can’t, let him die.
If the soldiers find us,
we’ll be dragged in too.
- Forced into labor for sure.
- Enough, enough.
Don’t hit him.
Dad.
Hey, you.
Here are the extra questions they sent
for today’s interview. Read them.
Yes, Manager.
Good job.
- Man, hello.
- Hi.
Every time we’re on set, you look tense.
We all know why.
That big-shot host, right?
Just avoid him if you can.
How could I?
I have to hand him the interview script.
These are the questions
for today’s interview.
Hey.
What font size is this?
Fourteen.
Don’t you know that’s too small?
I can’t read it.
For me, it has to be 20.
Sorry, I’ll go print
a new copy right away.
Don’t bother.
You’ve got five minutes.
Write it out for me.
And make sure I can read it.
Go!
Don’t mess with him.
He’s a host with serious pull.
If he doesn’t like you,
you’ll be finished overnight.
I’m sorry. I write very slowly,
and my handwriting isn’t neat either.
I’ll just go print a new copy.
You dare defy my orders?
Come.
Master. Ouch!
Father.
Enough, stop.
Father.
- I’m scared.
- Hey!
Stop right now.
Don't you see he can’t take it?
What if he dies?
Master, don’t help me.
I can still go on. Run away.
Oh…
So the Count is here.
I’ve been searching for you.
Do you realize you share
your father’s crimes?
Hey, men. Seize him.
- Stop, let go.
- Don’t.
Don’t hurt Master.
- Let go.
- Release him.
I’ll take him to work
on documents at my manor.
Yes, Count.
Count.
You’re the new governor of Singhanakhon.
Hurry and thank the Count.
Thank you, Banjong.
Banjong, please help Jade.
He can’t take it anymore.
If he keeps going, he’ll die for sure.
Please, Banjong, save him.
I’ll take Jade too.
Yes, Count.
Jade…
- Let's go.
- Go, Jade, hurry.
Don’t worry about me. Just go.
- Please, don’t worry.
- Jade!
Help me, please.
- Help me, please.
- Help me, please.
- Please, help me.
- Please, help me.
- Help me, please.
- Help me, please.
Help me, please.
- You lot, back to work.
- Help me, please.
- Get moving.
- Please, help.
Help me, please.
Please, help me.
- Help me, please.
- Help me, please.
- Get up. Work.
- Help me, please.
- Get up.
- Please.
Rest for now.
Luckily, Count Banjong saved
the two of you in time.
But Jade’s father and the others
are still forced to work there, My Lord.
I don’t exactly feel good, My Lord,
being the only one granted privilege.
We can’t pull them out one by one.
If we really want to help,
we must change the palace law itself.
But soon enough, once we seize power
from Somdet Saenyakorn,
we’ll rewrite all the laws together.
Including…
the very existence of the monarchy?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Brothers and sisters, listen.
Whoever wishes to be a soldier,
come and enlist here.
If we want to change this land,
to give everyone a better life,
we must sacrifice now
and take the front line.
Join us in battle
to fight against injustice.
Whoever wishes to fight alongside us,
step forward and enlist here.
I’ll take everyone, no exceptions.
All I ask is the heart of a fighter.
- You do it.
- Not me. I’d rather die old.
You should do it.
Are you willing to fight with me?
No. Go on, son.
And you? Interested?
I accept women too.
Are you crazy? I’m a lady.
You expect me to fight?
My husband already died
on the battlefield.
What’s wrong with all of you?
Don’t you want to fight for yourself,
your family, your children,
the ones you love?
Enough, My Lord.
We’ve been recruiting for three days now.
Not a single person has joined.
It’s a waste of time.
Why is everyone so cowardly and selfish?
Only caring about themselves.
I think we need another way.
Worradej.
From now on, we’ll fight together.
So I want to confess
what’s been weighing on my heart.
Otherwise…
I won’t be at peace.
Is this about you rejecting my love?
I don’t mind anymore.
Put your heart at ease.
No, not that.
What I need to confess is…
Didn’t I tell you already?
Get out of our group.
But Banjong never said a word against me.
What right do you have to drive me out?
Banjong may be the founder of this group,
but we all share equal rights here.
And we’ve already decided
we don’t welcome you.
Go!
I said get out!
Are you deaf or just stupid?
Freak.
- Get out.
- Go.
- Get out.
- Go.
- Get out.
- I said get out.
- Out.
- Out.
- I said get out, freak.
- Out.
- Go.
- I said get out.
- Go, get out.
- Out, pervert.
- Go.
- Out.
- Go.
- Out.
- Get out.
- Can’t you hear?
- Out.
- Scum.
- Out.
- Just go.
- Go.
- I told you to get out.
Freak.
You… killed Vichai.
- Vichai.
- Vichai.
Vichai!
Vichai.
- Vichai.
- Vichai.
If you want to live here
with dignity, you must fight.
Kosol was the one who taught me that.
He killed our man.
You can’t keep him in the group anymore.
I was the one who killed him.
I’ll take all the blame.
Drink some water.
I’m sorry, Worradej.
I regret having to do this.
It’s the only way
to stop you from hurting us more.
Banjong.
I love you.
Carry on our mission.
And the one who shot you
at the palace wall…
was me.
Totally shook.
But now I understand.
You weren’t a traitor.
You never betrayed us.
I was wrong all along.
So today I’ve come to apologize.
Can you forgive me?
It’s kind of strange
to forgive someone who tried
to kill me twice that easily.
If you can’t forgive me,
I’ll understand.
I deserve your anger and your hate.
I’ll accept it humbly.
But I forgive you.
Really?
Really.
I understand you did it
out of love for the group
and for the cause.
And you were twisted
by those who despised me.
Let’s just leave the past
where it belongs.
We still have a mission to fight together.
If we stay hung up on this,
we won’t get anything done, right?
Thank you, Worradej.
Let me hug you.
Let’s start over.
Worradej.
"Though skies may end
And earth meets the star
Our love shall endure
No matter how far
Through the ages, long and vast
We shall meet again at last"
It’s not over yet.
Ugh, I’m going crazy.
Ugh.
If you can’t raise an army,
then find a way to defeat
Somdet Saenyakorn without force.
That way, no blood needs to be shed.
Oh, kid.
You think if I kneel
and beg him to step down,
he’ll just give up power? Dream on.
Who said anything about kneeling?
I meant a way without violence.
Using brains.
Do you even have one, big brother?
You…
As if you’re so clever yourself.
If you are, then show me right now.
How would you handle him?
I haven’t figured it out yet.
I was only suggesting an option.
I thought you’d be the one
to come up with it.
If you’ve got no idea, then don’t speak.
You asked me for advice,
so I had to say something.
If you don’t want me,
then don’t come next time.
I thought you’d grown up
and might have better ideas than before.
Are you calling me thick?
Then I’ll wait and see your master plan.
Let’s see how brilliant it really is.
But first, get an army before you brag.
And if I do find one, what then?
Then I’ll do whatever you ask of me.
I won’t say no.
Oh my God, what now?
Come back with me.
No way, I’m not going.
With you around,
I can barely get any sleep.
I promise I’ll bother you less.
From now on, if you want
or don’t want something,
just tell me.
I’ll give in.
Just come back with me now.
Wait a sec.
This is weird. What’s going on?
There’s something I want to discuss.
I need your help to figure it out.
About what?
Help me gather troops for battle.
Me? Find soldiers for your fight?
That’s right.
Wait, wait, wait.
You seriously want a queen like me
to recruit an army?
I’m better off
gathering dancers for a parade.
Because I know you’ve got brains and wit.
You can think outside the box,
beyond anything I can predict.
I believe this task isn’t beyond you.
Well…
Flattering me like that, I’m blushing.
Well…
I…
might…
just think of something
if I get some tasty food
in my belly first.
Here you go.
Thanks, Auntie.
Oh no, you don't have to pay.
I made it as an offering for the goddess.
What goddess, Auntie?
I’m just an ordinary person like you.
Ordinary people don’t just
walk through fire like that.
Goddess, no need to hide your true self.
The whole town saw your miracle already.
You’re the goddess.
Let me bow to you too.
That’s what real divinity is like.
Never revealing itself.
One blessing from you will bring me luck.
- Touch my head, Goddess.
- Bless me.
- Bless me with your hand.
- Touch my head, Goddess.
- Goddess.
- Bless me, please.
- Please, Goddess.
- Here.
- Goddess.
- Bless me, please.
- Bless me.
- Touch my head, Goddess.
- Me too, Goddess.
- Please.
Touch my head.
Alright, everyone, gather here!
Come listen, quick!
Brothers and sisters, gather around!
Listen up, everyone!
Goddess Worradej will perform a miracle
at the firewalk ground.
If you wish to witness her glory,
come see for yourselves!
- Let’s go.
- Let’s check it out.
At the firewalk ground.
Hurry up.
Let's go.
Truth is, I don’t really like
showing off miracles
for everyone to see.
But ever since I walked through
the fire the other day,
people kept begging me
to show them something.
So I just gave them
a little taste, nothing much.
That should be enough.
But today,
someone’s going to perform with me.
Lord Kosol.
Me?
Yes, you.
But if people know me,
they’ll think we planned this.
You’re still the best choice.
You’re known to be straightforward.
The villagers will believe you.
They know you wouldn’t trick them.
No. I won’t do it.
Then just tell me quickly,
what do I have to do?
Not a chance.
First, you have to promise me
that you’ll work with me
and do everything I say.
If it really brings us more troops,
I’ll do whatever you say.
Fine.
I’ll do it.
What do you want me to do?
I will summon a deity
to descend and inhabit Lord Kosol’s body.
And once the deity
has taken residence in Lord Kosol,
he’ll speak in the divine tongue.
I’ll translate for everyone to understand.
Divine tongue? I don’t speak that.
You won’t be the one speaking.
The deity will speak.
I just need to borrow your body.
Just stay still.
Everyone, are you ready?
- I’m not ready, Worradej.
- Ready.
Ohm… Masikala, Mutela, Matelu…
Muteli…
Muteli…
Muteli…
The deity has descended!
O Divine One,
I have heard that you have words
to share with the villagers.
Please speak.
I will translate for them to hear.
The deity says that from heaven above,
he has looked down and seen
the suffering and hardship
of all the villagers.
Living their lives in misery,
with no freedom of their own,
treated as property of lords and nobles.
So the deity has come down
to reveal the way for you all to be free,
to live your lives in liberty.
Do you want to know what that way is?
- Yes.
- We want to know.
The deity says we must rise and fight.
Fight against the power that oppresses us.
Don’t hope for anyone else
to fight for us.
We must fight for our children,
for our parents and kin,
for the families and generations to come.
Who here agrees and will fight by my side?
Raise your voices now!
- Me. Me.
- Me.
Me.
And those of you who agree with me,
please step this way and sign your names!
Come, come, right this way!
Let's go.
Oh, Kosol.
Where’ve you been? Out exercising?
No.
I went to deal with Chaiyached,
for daring to insult me.
And now, it’s your turn.
Wait. Hold it. Stop!
Why are you acting out like this?
I went through all that trouble
to get you soldiers,
and you’re still coming at me?
Because you made me
do weird things without asking first!
Do you know how humiliated I felt?
Talking nonsense like that
in front of everyone.
If I’d told you beforehand,
you wouldn’t have done it.
So forcing you was the best method.
And anyway, my method
got you soldiers in the end, didn’t it?
Fine. Then consider your merit
enough to cancel your fault.
Oh, Masakra…
What are you even saying?
Are you mocking me right now?
Merciful deity, please don’t do anything!
O Divine One, ahh!
Kosol.
What is it?
The villagers who enlisted yesterday,
there aren’t enough.
Some are sick, some have children.
After the screening, barely any remain.
We’ll need many more.
Otherwise, there’s no way
we can defeat Somdet’s army.
You’ve got it wrong.
We’re here to work, not to play around.
Banjong.
- Where are you going?
- To sit with Worradej.
That poem, why did you write it for me?
Because I wanted to make amends.
What’s with all this chatter?
I need sleep.
Even if we’ve secured allies
from other cities,
I still don’t think it’s enough.
Right now, we’re here.
And we’re heading to
the mountain-foot village, which is here.
- Everyone, get down!
- Ahh!
We must get out of this area fast.
Stay close together. Follow me.
