I'm the Most Beautiful Count (2025) s01e13 Episode Script

Once our mission is complete,
there shall be no more
bloodshed and struggle for power.
The order where men once ruled supreme
will be replaced by equality.
Everyone will live freely,
serving no one but themselves.
Hey, that's a fag!
Take him and behead him!
Worradej, wake up!
Worradej, I can't live without you.
If your wish truly comes to pass,
will I finally return home?
Banjong.
Take him away, and lock him up.
Ched!
Will you release me now, huh?
Will you let me go yet?
Don't.
Why stop me?
I must save my brother.
Think carefully.
To reach this day,
we have endured so much.
We have lost so much.
Just a little more,
and your desire to change the realm
shall be fulfilled.
Would you make everything fall,
all for the sake of your brother alone?
Look him in the face.
He is the only brother you have left.
Will you let him die,
when you could save his very life?
If so,
then you shall be known
as the vilest brother in all the world.
Kosol.
Chaiyached's life
matters to you, does it not?
What say you?
Will you let your only brother die?
Who says
that this one is my beloved brother?
He is the trouble in my life instead.
If you kill him this very moment,
you would rid my life of a burden.
Do it.
Shoot him.
Kosol, please think it over.
Consider it carefully first.
- You--
- You're right.
The welfare of the people
matters more than my life.
If you would slay me,
then strike the blow.
What shall we do, Your Highness?
You cannot leave Ched like this.
Kosol, you must help Ched, Kosol.
Do whatever you must,
for I have no weak brother,
nor one who easily yields,
who always waits for another's aid.
Brother Kosol, help me.
Do not interfere.
We are merely playing hostage-takers.
We do no harm.
Do as you will, then.
I do not have a weak, cowardly brother
who always waits for others' aid.
Ched.
Ched.
Ched.
Ched.
Ched.
I'm jealous.
I'd love a heartwarming brother like him.
I'd fawn over him
all morning, noon, and night.
I'd dote without stopping.
Ched will wake soon.
Kosol, Ched has awakened.
You're awake, then?
I thought you were gone.
You two, bring food and drinks
for my brother.
I must attend to business first.
What on earth is his problem?
Easy does it, Your Highness.
Ched, please, don't mind him, okay?
He's always stubborn like this.
Always acting so tough.
He is my brother.
I know him well.
And…
who put medicine in my mouth?
Who else would it be?
The one who just stormed out.
He wiped you down
and changed your clothes,
tended your wounds,
and wouldn't let anyone else help.
Said he'd do it himself,
afraid others might hurt you.
Truly, Your Highness, even just now,
I was about to fart,
and he told me to hold it in!
He feared it might wake you.
Right, Banjong?
Oh, Your Majesty.
What about Jade?
He…
My lord, flee now!
I will deal with them!
No. I'll never abandon you.
We'll fight together till the end.
Jade!
Farewell, Jade.
You'll always be my friend.
Your Majesty.
Are you a man or spirit, Your Majesty?
I feared if you knew it was all staged,
you wouldn't feel sorrow.
- We had to deceive you.
- Your Majesty…
Please, never do such a thing again, sire.
You will always remain in my heart.
And if one day, I am no longer king,
will we be closer then?
Now I'm just a common man, same as you.
You can stop being so stiff.
As you wish, my lord.
Thank you, my dear friend.
Brother Ched, isn't Jade handsome?
I told you before, you're my friend.
Friends should share everything equally.
Don't worry, Jade.
I'll take good care of myself.
Farewell, Jade.
Why don't you rest?
Your body hasn't fully recovered yet.
Why come up here?
Well, back then,
you're the one who brought
me up here, weren't you?
You said it was the first test of courage.
But when I saw the beautiful sky above,
I stopped being afraid.
That was ages ago.
You still remember?
I remember everything,
every moment I spent with you.
Including the time
I was bullied by others,
and you didn't help me.
You even said you had
no weak brother like me.
Thank you.
I didn't help you at all.
Why thank me?
Who says you didn't?
You gave me the strength
to stand and fight.
To fight them off.
Nonsense.
That's all in your head.
I know better.
That's just your way of teaching me.
Stop pretending, brother.
I said it's nonsense.
All right, nonsense it is.
I, King Chaiyached,
former ruler of Thanapura,
hereby renounce the royal throne.
From this day forth, no ruler
nor noble shall inherit power
by bloodline again.
- What?
- Then who shall rule us?
Somdet Saenyakorn and all his ministers
have lost their power.
The slave system
that once oppressed you all
has been abolished entirely.
‪-Hey.
‪-Really?
- Good! Good!
- Excellent!
From this moment,
you are free men and women.
You no longer have to serve anyone,
nor belong to anyone ever again.
And let me also announce,
those laws that invade
your freedom and privacy,
like forbidding
who you can love or desire,
forcing you to be this or that,
are now gone.
Be whoever you want to be.
This new system of governance
shall be known as the Commonwealth.
Everyone shall have a voice
in shaping the nation's future,
including electing our head of state.
Do not be alarmed, everyone.
Everything will progress step by step.
You'll come to understand in time.
Worradej.
Worradej!
Worradej.
Worradej.
What's wrong, Worradej?
Worradej.
That same dream again?
Well, long time no see, darling.
Hey, why are you here?
I'm in the middle of explaining the new
government system to the villagers.
Let's talk about this later, okay?
Just wake me up first.
I didn't make you fall asleep.
It's simply time.
Time?
Time for what?
Thank you so much
for making my wish finally come true.
No need for thanks, really.
Your wish was the same as mine.
The mission is complete.
It's time for you to go home.
Oh!
That's right!
Hey, I've got a concert to perform.
Wait, Worradej.
The past has already changed.
The future I came from,
what does it look like now?
Do you know? Tell me.
Since Somdet Saenyakorn was imprisoned
and you all declared the change of regime,
the future has shifted.
This land will be ruled
under the Commonwealth,
where the people
live freely for generations.
Really? And then…
will I still be an idol?
What will my songs be about?
Will there still be haters
who despise queers?
I'm so excited, Worradej!
What's it going to be like? Tell me!
Don't ask too much.
You'll see it yourself once you return.
Is that the path back to the future?
Yes. Step into it.
Worradej, wake up.
Do you know what's wrong with him?
Did you notice anything strange
this morning?
None at all.
He seemed perfectly fine.
Worradej.
Worradej, wake up.
You promised you'd never leave me alone.
Kosol, Worradej once told me,
if he ever fainted again,
you must kiss him, and he'll wake.
Worradej.
Why isn't it working?
Worradej.
You said you'd never leave me alone.
Hey, Worradej.
Why has he suddenly gone cold?
Hey, Worradej.
Worradej.
You're right, his pulse is fading.
Don't hesitate any longer.
It's time for you to go.
Step forward.
Worradej…
Please wake up. Worradej.
Worradej.
Worradej. I won't let you die.
Please, come back to me.
Hey, Worradej.
Worradej.
I'll always be by your side.
No matter where you are, or when.
How lucky I am, that in this world,
someone truly loves me for who I am.
And I love him for who he is.
Kosol…
I love you.
I promise,
every time I survive and return,
I'll always come back to you.
Kosol…
Leave me alone, will you?
Can't you see I'm grieving?
My lord, please, look at Worradej first.
No need.
Worradej's face has long
been etched in my heart.
Kosol…
I said don't call me.
I'm grieving.
I'm not dead yet, okay? Focus!
Worradej!
Am I seeing things?
You're really not dead, are you?
Yes, nothing's more real than this.
I'm truly happy, Worradej,
that you didn't leave me behind.
I came back to you, didn't I?
Don't ever leave me again.
If Jade were here,
I'd be lounging in a hammock by now.
I tied it up for you, sir.
Am I missing him so much,
I'm hearing things?
Ched, sir.
It's me, Jade.
Jade…
Are you human or ghost?
Ched…
I'm flesh and blood, sir.
I'm human, not a ghost.
Here, look.
You can touch me.
See? You can touch me.
Jade.
Jade, you're alive!
You're still alive.
You're alive.
Yes, I'm here, sir.
You're alive.
- You're alive.
- Ched. What's all the noise about?
Hey, Jade.
Jade.
Wait, you're not dead?
Didn't you get stabbed
straight through the heart?
That's right, sir.
I was stabbed in the left chest.
But… my heart's on the right,
unlike most people.
Luckily, someone helped me in time,
so I didn't die, sir.
Wait, there's really such a thing?
A heart on the right side?
There is.
I once read a medical text.
It said one in 10,000 people
have their heart on the right.
Extremely rare, indeed.
Well, that's good then.
You can help me campaign for votes.
Campaign?
Is that like… going camping, sir?
And what is a vote, sir?
Is it like a toad? Where can I find it?
It's not that!
I mean for the election!
The what now, sir?
By now, your son
and that Kosol fellow must've
seized power and made
themselves rulers of the realm.
You, what kind of father are you?
How could you not see
your son's lust for power?
His ambitions grew that far.
Back then, my son was a quiet man.
But later on,
he joined forces with those rebels.
Still, I never thought
he'd be so ungrateful
as to throw his own father into prison.
He hasn't even come to visit once.
As if I'm not his father at all.
If only you had been stricter with him
and put him in his place sooner,
we wouldn't be rotting
in this cell together now!
What?
How dare you blame this on me?
All the power was in your hands.
You were the one who made all the plans.
You commanded the entire army.
How could you possibly have lost to him?
You're the one who failed!
Hey, you.
You dare insult me like this?
Of course I do.
We're both in prison.
No one's above anyone here.
- Damn it, hey!
- What?
- What?
- Stop, please!
Stop, please. Stop fighting already!
So you came, you ungrateful son.
I thought you'd let
your father rot in prison.
Release me this instant!
Well…
Calm down, Father.
The reason I came today
is to discuss your release.
And not just yours, Father.
Uncle Saen's as well.
You wouldn't be so kind
as to free us both that easily.
If there are conditions, speak them now.
Do not drag this out.
Then listen carefully.
Right now, both of you
are merely prisoners.
You no longer hold any power.
Indeed.
You've seized it all anyway.
Not quite. The power is not ours.
It has already been returned
to the people.
The only way you can regain your power
is if the people grant it to you.
You mean to say,
a system where power
belongs to the people?
Wow, Uncle Saen actually knows the term?
That's right.
You'll have to run for election,
propose policies, and campaign.
If people like you enough,
you may have the right and chance
to rule the country once again.
Interested?
If not, you can rot
and die in this prison then.
Step right up, everyone!
Come gather in the front!
STAGE RALLY
All right, everyone!
This will be the very first time
we'll get to choose who takes care
of our joys and sorrows by ourselves.
And now, please welcome the first party,
candidate number one,
the Freedom Rainbow Party!
Greetings, everyone.
Just as a rainbow has many colors,
so too does humanity come in many shades.
‪-Yes.
‪-I agreed.
Our party's policy focus
is on freedom and liberty,
the right to live freely.
Whatever career one wishes to pursue,
whatever one loves or excels at,
everyone shall be free
to follow their heart.
Nice!
And most importantly,
we shall have the right
to love whom we love
and the right to marry any gender,
equally and with pride.
All our lives,
we have been oppressed
by nobles and lords,
forced to do what we never wished to do.
Those days of suffering will end.
All it takes, my friends,
is your vote
for the Freedom Rainbow Party,
candidate number one!
‪NUMBER ONE
NUMBER TWO
Only real men,
strong and righteous,
are fit to lead and govern this nation!
Every able-bodied man shall be drafted
to serve the nation.
Children must be taught the doctrines
we have firmly established.
All for the order and peace of our land.
God created mankind in only two sexes.
Anyone who deviates from that
shall be punished accordingly,
to align with the ideals of our nation.
- Correct!
- Indeed!
When that happens,
our nation shall know
only peace and harmony.
Strong and united forever.
All of you here must vote for number two,
the Real Men's Power Party!
- Number two!
- Number two!
- Number two!
- Number two!
Number two!
- Number two!
- Remember, vote only for number two!
- Number two!
- Number two!
Number two!
You've now heard the policies
of both parties.
Whoever you love, whichever you support,
on the 11th waning day of the tenth month,
don't forget to cast your vote
at the polling stations, everyone!
‪-Let's do this.
‪-Who would pick number two?
Which one will you choose?
STAGE RALLY
On the 11th waning day of the tenth month,
don't forget to vote, everyone!
The 11th waning day of the tenth month,
- vote for number one!
- Number two!
- Number one!
- Number two!
- Number one!
- Number two!
- Vote for number one!
- Number two!
- Number two!
- Number one!
Number one!
Number one!
- Number one!
- Number one!
I would like to thank everyone
for your votes,
for choosing me to serve
the people of this nation.
The word "I" sounds…
a bit too harsh, doesn't it?
Maybe I should…
just start using the words "this lady".
This lady would like to thank everyone
for your votes,
for choosing me to serve
the people of this nation.
This works better.
What are you doing?
Today is election day.
Why haven't you gone to vote yet?
I'm just excited.
I mean…
if our party actually wins,
and I end up getting a position,
I need to practice my speech first, right?
I don't want to embarrass myself
by saying something wrong later.
Are you sure we'll win?
Somdet's been bribing villagers
to make them vote for him.
And those villagers are so naive,
once they get the money, they'll vote.
But our intention is for the people
to truly choose whom they want.
Otherwise, we'll never reach our goal.
Even if this system still has flaws,
at least it prevents the villagers
from killing each other over power, right?
It may not be the best way,
but it's not the worst either.
Still, you shouldn't have let your father
and Somdet join the election.
If their allies win,
everything will just return
to the old ways.
All that we've worked for will be wasted.
Oh, come on. But honestly,
people should have the freedom
to choose from more options.
There might be some people
who actually prefer Somdet's ways.
And if they really win the election,
then we'll have to accept it.
The villagers too must accept the outcome.
When that time comes,
we may have to keep fighting
for a long while, Kosol.
Well, I never knew you had such
a deep knowledge of politics.
Almost as if you had lived through
countless revolutions yourself.
Well…
I did study some history, you know.
Events in this world just keep spinning
in the same cycles.
We just need to
learn from them and move forward.
Oh my!
Why do your thoughts
sound nothing like a man of this century?
You know,
ever since I met you,
I've wanted to become
a better man each day,
to keep growing for the better.
For now, though, don't you dare
carry me before I consent.
Then I'd say you've evolved
to the next level.
So, may I hold you now?
You're crazy…
What are you talking about?
Aren't we supposed to go vote?
Forget the voting booths.
I've found a better booth to enter.
You pervert.
Do you like it, though?
I do.
Then let me carry you.
Carry me gently.
I can't hold you like this anymore.
Hey…
This position's too hard to hold.
Then, try another one.
ELECTION BOOTH
GOVERNMENT BALLO
I've checked around.
Most of the villagers voted for Worradej.
Ugh, how utterly disgusting.
And what about those peasants we bribed?
It's Banjong, of course.
He told the villagers they could
take the money but didn't have to vote.
Because we'd cheat our way in
to get our money back anyway.
If this keeps up,
we'll definitely lose the election.
Then what will you do, sir?
The election's already
halfway through the day.
All of you, follow me.
Hey, stop right there!
I, as your former ruler,
believe the time has not yet come
for you to choose your own leaders.
Granting you this right today
is premature and reckless.
I and my comrades,
born of noble blood above you,
more learned and capable than you all,
shall make the sacrifice
to rule over you once more.
As of this day,
the election is hereby suspended!
Close the booths!
Close them. No one shall vote again!
- Close the booths!
- Hey!
- That's enough!
- They're closed! Move out!
Hey! Stop!
Stop! Get out of the way!
Hey, I can't take it anymore.
One round, and I'm about to pass out.
If there's a second round,
I won't make it!
What on earth did you eat?
If we're late and the ballot boxes close,
we'll be humiliated!
Master, open the door, please!
Something terrible has happened!
Master, please!
What is it, Jade?
Somdet and the Count gathered men
to block the polling booths.
They won't let the villagers vote, sir.
What?!
Where is it, Jade?
Everything seems fine now, doesn't it?
Yes, sir.
But just a moment ago,
I swear a fight was about to break out.
Nisa.
Jade said there was chaos here.
Did Somdet and the Count really try
to block the villagers from voting?
Yes, but they failed.
Stop right there!
Stop right now! I said stop this instant!
What do you think you're doing?
You'd better think carefully.
Take a look around you!
How many of us are there?
How many hands?
How many feet?
You dare to stand against
the people's will?
How can the people
ever be greater than me?!
Huh?! Charge!
Charge! Charge!
- Attack!
- Hey!
You'll pay for this with your life!
Worradej, what's wrong with you?
I'm just overwhelmed,
seeing the villagers cherish
and defend their rights like this.
I believe from now on,
Somdet and his men won't dare
try anything like this again.
Of course not.
If they do, they'll be beaten
to a pulp for sure.
Come on, let's go cast our votes.
Have you two voted yet?
Yes, sir. We voted
for the Freedom Rainbow Party.
I voted early this morning.
But you two, where have you been?
Why are you showing up just now?
Well, we…
No need to explain everything.
Then, we'll just
go cast our votes right away.
Let's go, then.
- Jade.
- Yes, my lady?
Do you know where those two went?
No idea, my lady.
But when I went to their room,
neither of them
were wearing any clothes, my lady.
Naked?
Oh my!
Good heavens.
And now, the election results
of the Saenya people
are officially in my hands.
Candidate number one,
the Freedom Rainbow Party,
has received…
‪-Number one.
‪-How many?
has received…
a total of 2,415 votes!
And candidate number two,
the Real Men's Power Party, has received…
has received…
VOTING RESULTS
…one vote!
What?!
None of you voted for me?!
Well, I sensed things were going south,
so I sided with Worradej.
You're not mad, right?
Worradej!
Oh, my boy, congratulations, son!
I'm so proud of you!
You've done wonderfully! So proud!
Thank you, Father.
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- And so,
the party forming the government
is the Freedom Rainbow Party!
And our very first head of state is…
Sir Worradej!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
- Hooray!
I would like to thank everyone
for choosing me
to assume this honorable office.
I pledge to serve you all
with my whole heart.
This royal palace
will become the seat of government,
ready to welcome every one of you.
And I thank you once again,
for all of you who cherish
your own freedom,
who respect the freedom of others,
and who have fulfilled your civic duties
to the fullest.
And now, as we begin anew,
I hereby rename our country
from Saenya to Thoeyland.
For we are all Thoey people.
"Thoey" means freedom!
I will inaugurate
my spouse and I as the first
married couple of Thoeyland,
to show everyone
that we all have the right to love.
Love wins!
And I dedicate this song
to be the national song of our Thoeyland.
Music.
This is me.
This is… This is…
Me!
Everyone has their own stance
And different desires
You and I both have a heart
No one is lesser
There's no need to listen to anyone
What's wrong with being me?
Even if nobody understands
I just don't care
Who sets the rules?
Who decides how we should be?
Why should I care? I'm proud
And I'm gonna say it out loud
Oh, I'm so sorry. But my life is fabulous
I'm keeping my chin up
This is me
This is me
This is me, now you can see
All of my heart, and all of me
This is me
This is me
Just love me for who I am
No need to be like anyone else
This is me
Mother, Queen, Royalty, Slay
Mother, Queen, Royalty, Slay
Sorry, but my life is giving Mother
Mother, Queen, Royalty, Slay
The voice inside keeps reminding me
Not to fear a thing
Forget what they say
Just tune into your own voice
Just have faith in your heart
And dare to stand out
No need to change a thing
I just don't care
Who sets the rules?
Who decides how we should be?
Why should I care? I'm proud
And I'm gonna say it out loud
Oh, I'm so sorry. But my life is fabulous
I'm keeping my chin up
This is me
This is me
This is me, now you can see
All of my heart, and all of me
This is me
This is me
Just love me for who I am
No need to be like anyone else
This is me
This is me
This is me
This is me, now you can see
All of my heart, and all of me
This is me
This is me
Just love me for who I am
I’m sorry for being so unique
This is me
