I'm the Most Beautiful Count (2025) s01e12 Episode Script

Stop calling me King Chaiyached,
and stop using royal language with me.
The king once known as King Chaiyached
has left this world.
Only the commoner named Ched remains.
As expected,
Somdet Saenyakorn seeks
to crown himself king.
You intend to storm the Grand Palace?
If you need my help, just say so.
I must ask Madam Nisa
to deceive Somdet first,
so he suspects another plan.
Then we’ll march like Natasha Romanoff.
Slip in quietly and take down
the mastermind alone.
Hey, Worradej.
Once we step into the Grand Palace,
we can’t keep bickering like this.
Fields have eyes and woods have ears.
Every step we take is dangerous.
Do you realize that?
Mm.
I know.
Hey, Kosol.
You’ve been away from the palace so long.
Aren’t you excited to go home?
A home filled only with hatred among kin.
It’s like living in a blaze.
I don’t wish to return.
Once our mission is complete,
there will be no more of it,
no more killing or fighting for power.
It’s drawing near, Worradej.
What is?
My wish, the one you once asked me about.
It’s about to come true.
Really?
Then when that wish of yours comes true,
we’ll finally go home, won’t we?
I wonder how things are back there now.
This is quite an unusual case.
All of the patient’s body indexes
are perfectly normal,
yet we still can’t find the cause
of why the patient hasn’t woken up.
It’s as if he simply fell asleep.
Is there any way to wake him up?
Any method at all,
I'll pay whatever it takes.
Doctors from several departments
are currently discussing this case.
By the way, have you reached
the patient’s parents yet, Nat?
If surgery becomes necessary,
the parents must sign
a consent form first.
Prince’s parents live abroad.
And more importantly,
they’ve already cut ties with him.
They couldn’t accept who he truly is.
Ah, I see. I understand.
In that case, our team will look
into alternative treatments
- that don’t require surgery.
- Okay.
Alright then, I’ll take my leave now.
- Sure.
- Yes, Doctor.
Prince.
Wake up, sis.
Where the hell have you been gallivanting?
Ugh!
I’m really worried here.
Ta-da!
Ta-da!
The outfits are here!
What kind of outfit is that?
The ones we’ll use to sneak
into the Grand Palace.
Have you gone mad?
That’s the cloth women use
as a shawl, isn’t it?
Exactly!
We’ll disguise ourselves as royal maids
and sneak into the palace
dressed as women.
- Dressed as women?
- Dressed as women?
- No way.
- Nope.
No refusing.
To get into the Grand Palace
and reach the royal inner court,
we have no choice but to go in as women.
Or would you rather
turn into flies and buzz your way inside?
That’s actually true.
If you refuse to dress up,
then stay. I’ll go alone.
I’ve always wanted to try once,
to see what it’s like dressing as a woman.
You? Absolutely not.
Fine, whatever.
For the kingdom and the nation,
I’ll cross-dress once in my life.
Fabulous!
You’re the cutest, my darling.
I bet when you’re in women’s clothes,
you’ll totally pull off
that fierce-lady vibe.
One hundred percent.
But once we wear these shawls,
will people really believe we’re women?
Our hair isn’t even long enough.
I’ve got just the thing, sir.
Huh?
Here it is.
I bought it from a Japanese wig craftsman.
He said it’s made from real human hair.
Made from real hair, you say?
Yes, sir.
Magnificent.
Lift.
Swing.
Now walk.
Left.
Right.
Hips.
Hips.
Hips.
Hips.
Hips.
Hips.
I told you, use your hips!
Swing them with a little sass!
Move like true palace ladies,
graceful and elegant!
I'm using them.
Come on, keep walking!
Left, right.
Left, hips.
Hips.
Hips. Banjong, fabulous! Slay!
Flick your wrist, Banjong.
Flick your wrist!
Yes, make it graceful. Now hips.
Hips.
Use your hands.
Hands, come on.
Hips, hips.
Hips. Swing your arms, Banjong.
Hips--
Hey, Banjong.
Come play sepak takraw with me.
I’ve been itching to move for ages.
Yeah, brother,
I wanna kick till my legs give out.
- Break them if I have to!
- Hell yeah.
- Chit, you coming too?
- Yeah!
Huh…
Alright, back to rehearsal.
Full turn, spin back, come on!
Then left, right.
Left, right.
Hips, hips.
Hips.
Hips.
Hips. Hips.
Hips.
Hips, come on, hips.
That’s it. Now listen.
If some old pervert tries to flirt,
what are we supposed to do?
Grab his collar and punch him.
No, no!
You must glance shyly.
Then act all modest, like this.
You can’t just punch him.
Now try it, quick.
A bit more flutter in those eyes.
How’s that?
Nailed it.
Now try tucking your hair behind your ear.
Go on, tuck it.
Oh my!
So sweet.
Sweet enough to give me diabetes.
Hey, Kosol. Why aren’t you doing it?
Just sitting there watching.
Come on, your turn.
Don’t tell me
you’ve fallen for Banjong?
You must not fall for him.
I’ll pinch you. I will not agree.
- Don’t.
- I’ll pinch…
Ouch.
You want me to like Banjong?
I’d rather like dogs and cats.
I only look at Banjong
and it echoes in my heart
that even gentle-faced Banjong
still looks so out of place.
If someone rough like me tried it,
would it not be even more bizarre?
I will not do it.
You cannot refuse. You must do it.
Because earlier,
you forced me to train with a sword
and a gun, even though I did not want to.
Now the time has come
to do what you dread.
And if you fail…
If you dress as a woman and fail
to be demure and get caught,
our mission will fail.
And who decides that women
must act this way, Worradej?
Women have varied manners.
No need to train everyone the same.
I do not despise gentle women,
but I do not want to because it is forced.
If I had been born a woman,
I might not be so demure.
You should understand us well.
You were forced by your father too,
to act more manly,
even though that was not you.
Alright.
Then forget all that, alright?
Now choose what kind of woman
you want to be.
It’s up to you.
Really?
Don’t… Don’t hug too long.
Stay here. Don’t be naughty.
Just keep to your room.
That shouldn’t be too hard for you, right?
I understand.
You're lecturing me like a toddler.
Deal with Somdet quickly.
Do not keep me waiting.
And most importantly, do not get hurt.
Then there’ll be no one left
to argue with.
I’m bored.
Chatterbox.
I’m off.
Hey, Jade. Take good care
of little Chaiyached.
If I find anything pretty on the way,
I’ll bring it back for you.
As long as you return safe,
I will be glad, truly.
Hey, stop crying now.
Come here, quick.
We’re not going to die, you know.
Us queers don’t die that easily.
Worradej. Let us go, or we’ll be late.
Good luck.
Take care of yourselves.
I await good news.
I’m off now.
Enough crying now.
I’m going.
Bye.
Once our mission is complete,
there will be no more of it.
The killing and the struggle for power.
It is about to come true.
And when your wish is fulfilled,
I'll finally go home, right?
You have traveled many days.
Was the journey smooth?
Very smooth.
Why are you in such a state?
Hold on tight, Worradej.
Hold on tight, Worradej!
I'm holding.
- Ahh!
- Hey!
Hold here!
Hold the boat tight.
There’s a whirlpool ahead.
Worradej.
Storms were not enough?
Now a whirlpool too?
Hold on tight.
Hold tight, Worradej.
Worradej, hold on tight.
Since the journey went well,
that means
our mission will succeed.
Are you ready?
If you are ready,
I will take you into the Grand Palace.
Has His Majesty called an urgent meeting?
Do you know what it is about?
I heard it concerns war
with the four corner lords.
They dare defy us?
Looks like this will be a great war.
Who are these people, Madam Nisa?
These people will serve
as my personal servants.
Why do you question me?
Are these supposed to be women?
Why are they so tall
and bulky, like ogres?
Hideous indeed.
And what of it?
They’re fine with themselves,
so others shouldn’t…
Butt in.
Or act offended for them.
Palace guards
must maintain order in the inner court.
That’s why I chose strong,
tall women like them.
Why must you question me?
Let them through at once.
We’ve entered the inner court.
You may all relax now.
Everyone here is on our side.
Splendid.
I was tensing up down to my boots.
I walked so stiff, I almost cramped up.
I overheard those
two ministers talking earlier.
By now, they must’ve heard the news
that our provincial forces
are marching toward the Inthu River.
Madam Nisa.
Please gather all the royal attendants.
We shall discuss the battle plan.
Understood.
Im. Go fetch everyone.
Yes, my lady.
Worradej.
May I change out of this gown first?
I just don’t feel confident wearing it.
Me neither.
Why is that?
You two look lovely in them.
It's giving feminine realness.
If I were a man,
I’d be courting you already.
Hey, Worradej.
So who would you court, me or Banjong?
I’d court Banjong.
Hey, Worradej. You dare cheat on me?
Didn’t you swear you’d love only me?
Oh, come on.
You’re jealous over nothing again.
I said, if I were a straight man,
which is impossible, of course.
Very well then.
If you wish to change your gown,
then change it.
So then… Follow me, please.
- Quite lovely, is it not?
- It is lovely.
Our scouts report
that all the provincial powers
have set themselves against
our Saenya Dynasty at this hour.
At present,
they have marshalled their forces
at the mouth of the Inthu River.
Let every regiment of ours
mass fully to oppose them
with all strength.
Allow not one assault upon our capital.
Now all their field armies
are departing from the royal court,
leaving but a scant garrison
within these walls.
We attendants now outnumber them here.
If we quell every hostile province,
we shall expand our realm,
swallowing each province into Saenya.
Thus shall we proclaim our might to them,
they are mistaken
for daring to challenge us.
If we succeed in this mission,
we shall not be oppressed again.
The order where men once ruled
will become equal for all.
Everyone shall live in freedom.
No one shall serve another.
At this hour,
Kosol has departed Singhanakhon.
Likely en route to join the provinces.
Give the orders.
Whoever beheads him,
I will promote you to general at once.
We accept with all due honor.
And we have gathered here today
because we have a brilliant plan,
which needs each of you to assist,
so it may succeed.
Are you ready to join us?
I stand ready.
Are we ready?
Ready, my lady.
Splendid.
Then I will tell the plan to everyone.
Kosol. I am afraid.
You have me right here beside you.
What is there left to fear?
I fear I may fail tomorrow,
that our plan may not succeed.
I fear something may happen to you.
And if that were to come true,
our nation…
It would surely fall into ruin.
I am so afraid, Kosol--
Remember my words.
Never utter the word "fear",
even when your heart trembles within.
Do not let anyone see the fear you hold.
Not even yourself.
This kiss shall be your strength.
Brave as you already are,
you will be a hundred,
a thousand times braver,
ready for battle,
to face every enemy head-on.
This kiss will remind you
that I will always be by your side,
wherever or whenever you may be.
I wonder how Lord Kosol fares now.
Has he dealt with Somdet yet?
I want the turmoil in my life to end.
The root of my life's chaos began then.
It began the day Lord Kosol
was stripped of the viceroyalty
for getting caught consorting
with a young nobleman.
The crown then fell to me.
At that time,
I was too naive to know what it was.
I only knew that I did not want it.
Somdet Kosol
behaved contrary to his birth sex.
He engaged in relations with men.
This was a grave offense.
He must be stripped of rank,
reduced to commoner status,
and sentenced to ten years in prison
in the city of Singhanakhon.
And my first act upon accession
was to strip my brother of his title
and send him to prison in another town.
Brother…
I did not want to do it,
but Somdet forced my hand.
I was right
to have come to Singhanakhon
because I found my brother again.
Though he pouts at me,
I know he still loves me,
and he still worries about me always.
Indeed, my lord.
In all my life, I have never seen
a brother love his younger
as Kosol loves Chaiyached.
Hey!
- Hey!
- My lord!
They hid here. I finally found them.
Put down your sword.
I want Chaiyached, and him only.
If you go with us willingly,
you will not need to fight.
Put it down.
My lord, flee at once.
I will deal with him myself.
No. I will never abandon you.
Stay and fight with me.
An Arabian dance.
I arranged this specially
for Your Majesty.
Is she a beauty, sire?
I will have her serve
close to Your Majesty.
When you get close to Somdet,
find an opening to press
a dagger to his throat.
Then Banjong and I, hidden,
will come out and finish him.
Hey, that's a fag!
Cut its head off.
Everyone.
Everyone, seize him now.
Mob him.
Somdet has fled.
Surround him. Hold him fast.
Do not let him escape.
Stop.
You cannot snatch my wig
and run off like that.
These are three things I hate most.
Being defeated.
Being deceived.
And a fag.
All of which you embody.
Die, you damned pervert.
Prince.
You’re awake?
Wait, am I dreaming? You’re awake.
Oh, I’m so glad.
Nisa.
What happened here?
Who is Nisa?
It’s Nat, your friend!
You don’t remember me?
- Nat?
- Yeah.
Wait…
Did I come back to the present day?
Present day? What do you mean?
What? Huh?
You’ve been lying here
like a veggie, girl.
How are you feeling now?
Like I got hit in the head.
But… Whatever.
Hey, tell me what happened.
I’m so confused.
Well, that day,
when you told me to get a guy
to entertain you,
there was this kid.
Total homophobe.
He poisoned your drink.
And you’ve been out cold
ever since that day.
Out cold?
How long was I out for?
Seven days.
Only seven days?
Why…
Where I went, it felt like
seven whole months.
Seven months? What are you on about?
You didn’t go anywhere.
You were lying here,
like a total vegetable.
Wait… Oh, did you dream?
Was it a dream?
No, Nat.
It felt so real.
It was like I actually went.
I was living as Count Worradej.
And I had a husband named Lord Kosol.
Oh, stop it already.
You’re totally delirious now.
- Nat, I--
- Just lie down and rest.
I’ll go get the doctor.
Still, I’m just glad you woke up.
I’ll call the nurse.
- Yes?
- Prince is awake now.
Uh, could you call the doctor, please?
Okay, sure.
The doctor will be here
to check on you soon.
How are you feeling?
I’m just really happy
you woke up, honestly.
How do you feel? Thirsty?
I’ll get you some water.
Okay?
I’m so glad you’re awake.
This kiss will remind you
that I will always be by your side,
wherever or whenever you may be.
Kosol.
Nat! Nat!
- Nat!
- What?
I am not dreaming. I am not dreaming, Nat.
What I said is true.
I’m not dreaming. I must go back.
I must go back now.
I have to return to the past.
Take me back, Nat.
Take me back, Nat.
I’m not dreaming. Please believe me.
- I’m not dreaming, Nat.
- What are you on about?
- Nat.
- What?
- Nat.
- Doctor!
Please check on him.
Something’s wrong with my friend.
Doctor, I’m telling the truth.
Doctor, please take me back to the past.
I have to hurry back to help my friend.
I must go help Banjong. I must find Kosol.
I must go defeat Somdet Saenyakorn.
Doctor, please.
Doctor, please take me back.
- Mr. Prince.
- Doctor.
I’m serious, Doctor. Please believe me.
- You have to send me back, Doctor.
- Alright, calm down.
- Nat, I mean it!
- Mr. Prince.
- Mr. Prince.
- I’m telling the truth!
Listen to me first. It’s me, your doctor.
Try to focus. Take a deep breath
and exhale slowly. Follow my voice.
Breathe in. Good. Breathe in.
Exhale. That’s it.
Keep going. You’re doing great.
- Prince.
- You’re alright.
Prince! Prince!
Prince!
Wake up!
- Prince.
- Don’t fall asleep, Prince!
Prince, wake up!
Stay with us. Keep your eyes open.
Worradej…
Worradej, can you hear me?
Worradej… Worradej.
Can you hear me, Worradej?
Worradej, do you hear me?
Worradej…
Wake up, Worradej.
You must wake up, Worradej!
Prince, open your eyes!
Open your eyes, Prince!
Prince, please, open your eyes!
- Worradej…
- Worradej!
Come back to me, Worradej.
My life cannot go on
without you, Worradej.
Worradej…
You’ve come back to me!
Don’t ever leave me again.
I’ve returned.
You’re back.
Banjong, take care of Worradej for me.
I’ll go after Somdet.
Kosol…
Be careful out there.
Can you stand?
Easy now.
Doctor, what’s wrong with my friend?
At this point, I can’t say for sure,
but when a patient describes
events that never happened,
it’s best we consult a psychiatrist.
As for the poison Prince was exposed to,
I don’t think it could have caused
these kinds of psychological symptoms.
So, are you saying
my friend was telling the truth?
Here’s the thing.
It could’ve been a dream
so vivid that it felt real,
to the point he can’t tell
what’s real and what’s not.
Then, will he ever be the same again?
He’s got so much work waiting,
concerts, fan meets, and everything.
Is there any chance he’ll recover?
I can’t give you a clear answer yet.
We’ll have to wait
until he wakes up again.
Wake up, Prince. Come on!
- Open your eyes, Prince!
- Miss Nat, please!
- Miss Nat, that’s enough.
- Wake up, Prince!
You’ll only hurt him more.
Doctor…
Is there any chance he will wake up?
Stop it now, you worm.
Who are you calling a worm?
Acting like you are in charge.
Have you forgotten your own name?
You insolent wretch.
You are getting far too arrogant.
How dare you call me by my old name?
Aren't you afraid your head will fall off?
That blunt stick in your hand
cannot sever anyone's head.
Right now,
you have no soldiers
or nobles protecting you.
You are just a power-mad old man.
I will smash that mouth of yours.
Hey, hey.
Hey, what is this? Hey.
You have oppressed us for long enough.
Today we take our revenge.
How dare you?
- Ow.
- Is that enough to satisfy you, ma'am?
Here you are.
- Well done, Im.
- What are you going to do, huh?
People like you deserve this.
Ow, ow. Wait, wait.
Hold on. Hold on. Up until now…
I have done many wrongs to you.
Please forgive me.
I beg your pardon.
What if we do this?
If you join me, become my allies,
I will grant you rewards,
promotions, titles.
Will you accept that, hmm?
It is too late now.
- Ow, ow.
- Mob.
- Do not stop.
- Ow.
- Keep hitting.
- Ouch!
Well done, everyone.
- Good. Beat him to death.
- Ow. Ow.
Funny, isn't it?
When you were stabbed,
I was the one who dressed your wound.
Now that I am struck on the head,
you come to dress my wound.
So we call it even.
But next time,
let no one have to heal another again.
Agreed.
And…
you were struck pretty hard.
How do you feel now?
Still a little dizzy, I guess.
But what scared me more
was when I passed out,
- I dreamed.
- A dream?
What did you dream of?
Was it that terrifying?
Well… I dreamed that
I was in a place far, far away,
and I would never see you all again.
In that dream, I was terrified.
I didn’t know what to do.
Then suddenly, I woke up.
Because Kosol kissed you.
That’s why you woke up.
Then…
if I faint again,
make sure Kosol kisses me again.
Mmm.
Let us hurry to the royal hall.
I wonder if Kosol has captured Somdet yet.
Come on.
Kosol.
You did not capture Somdet?
I was not the one who caught him.
Others helped to seize him.
Oh!
Hmm, what a state.
Tamed at last?
Then I…
will be the first to settle the score.
Was it the one
where he struck you with a stick?
No.
It was the one where he ripped off
my wig from my head.
Mark my words.
Next time, never pull a wig
off anyone's head again.
If you intend to kill me,
then do it quickly.
Do not let this perverted person
demean me like this.
I will not stand for it.
I'll slap you hard.
We have already discussed this.
We will spill as little blood as possible.
Worradej begged me to spare your life
and to imprison you instead,
so perhaps one day, you may repent.
Then you may return
to serve the state again,
for you do possess certain talents.
Me?
Approve of you lot?
Grant freedom to slaves,
that would only breed chaos.
Give rights and voice to the gullible,
and the realm will descend into ruin.
Worse still,
to let those perverts
parade about
like they own the place,
I would rather die.
You…
Such a foul mouth.
All you do is bully.
All your logic is rotten.
Good that he’s jailed.
Others will be spared the trouble.
For such corrupted thinking
is not admirable.
Banjong. Take him and lock him up.
Ched.
Strain it carefully.
Just a little more.
Your desire to change the realm
will come to pass.
You cannot leave Ched like this.
Kosol, you must help Ched, Kosol.
You must stand for election.
Present your policies and campaign.
Interested?
Are you certain we can win?
Somdet bribed the villagers
to vote for him.
Somdet and the Count led men
to block the polling booths.
Villagers couldn’t vote, sir.
What?
