Love in the Moonlight (Moonlight Drawn by Clouds / Gureumi Geurin Dalbit) (2016) s01e15 Episode Script
Lies That Seem Like the Truth
There is something I did not tell you in the palace.
It is about your father.
Meet me at the time and place below.
I will never forgive you.
I will listen only to you.
No matter what lie you tell, I will believe it.
Were you sincere about everything that you showed me? My apologies, Your Highness.
You were correct.
You must escape.
Your Highness.
Minister Kim.
What brings you here? I wondered who tried to entrap me with a fake letter and came to see for myself.
Was it you? Your Highness.
I merely came because I received a tip that someone was meeting a rebel here.
How dare they try to frame the Crown Prince of treason? Bring him to me right away! That is the only way you will live.
Do you understand? Yes, Your Highness.
(Chapter 15, All The Lies That Appeared True) Is Ra On safe? Yes, Your Highness.
I will move her to a safe location, so do not worry.
I must not know where that is, correct? It will make things harder for her if you try to know.
How did I become the person who makes life difficult for Ra On? I understand.
I will not ask any questions.
We do not have time.
Please take care of her.
Go on.
Your Highness.
Do not be curious about where I am.
Regardless of what news you hear about me, please do not be swayed.
That is what I will do as well.
Lady Jo.
You must be bored living in the annex.
Not at all, Your Highness.
I have many rules of the palace to learn, so the days fly by.
You are studying so hard to be the crown princess.
Lady Jo, do you know why the wedding date has not been set yet? Pardon? I heard the Office of Astrology will choose a date What is the point in choosing a date? I hear the Crown Prince is making all sorts of excuses and is refusing.
Are you not curious as to the reason? His Highness must have his reason.
He does.
Ever since his girly looking eunuch disappeared, he has been heartbroken.
Pardon? What do you mean? Please comfort him in my place.
Yes, Your Highness.
Do you know where Hong Ra On is residing? I do not.
I went merely as the Crown Prince's escort.
By the time I arrived, Hong Ra On had disappeared.
Who would have done that? Seeing how they used my name to call them out, it was someone close to us.
It is bad enough that Premier Kim frames us for all sorts of crime.
Now, must we suspect one of our own? If we find out who betrayed us, I will not forgive him.
Mum.
You should rest.
I am fine.
I am used to it.
You go to sleep.
You did not lie down all day.
I am fine too.
I am Sam Nom.
Born to succeed.
Meant to be big.
Capable of doing anything.
You must resent your father.
For making us suffer? Yes.
You said it was the right thing which somebody had to do.
Yes.
That is correct.
But I did not want my husband to do it.
Rather than someone who does great deeds, I needed a family with whom I could eat, sleep, laugh and cry together.
How could I not hate him? Mum, I hear that as you miss him and long for him.
Goodness.
Just go to sleep.
Let me finish it.
I am done for the day.
Let us both go to sleep.
Let us sleep.
Have you seen this letter before? If you tell me the truth, you will not be harmed.
Did you leave this on my desk? Yes, Your Highness.
Who ordered you to do it? I am not trying to punish the person.
I merely want to ask some questions, so answer me.
I had never seen him in the palace before.
He asked if I was responsible for cleaning Dongungjeon.
He said he would give me two yang.
Do you remember what he looked like? Bring me an artist right away.
I thought hard about it after what happened.
You betrayed Baekwoon.
What is to stop you from betraying me? I believe in the power of money, not you, Premier Kim.
You simply buy what you need, and I sell what I can.
That is all.
Here is the promised pay.
But bring that wench right away.
Hong Ra On.
Wait.
Go.
Go.
Go.
Hello, Master.
Let me.
My goodness.
How have you been? Laughter never ceases in the kisaeng room because of her.
She is hogging their love even more than you.
I am glad.
I was surprised that you asked such a favour.
Whose baby is she? Will you not tell me? She is an orphan with nowhere to go.
My dear.
Poor thing.
I am a lowly kisaeng, but I will do my utmost to raise her.
Ra On.
What are you doing? Come in.
Okay, I will.
Ra On! Ra On! Let us go.
Mum.
Mum.
Mum.
Mum.
Are you taking care of yourself? Yes.
I am happy I gave birth to a prince, so my body feels light.
He is very handsome.
Do you mean it? Are you happy? Of course.
I cannot express it in words.
Are you truly that happy? I shall go now.
What are you doing? Are you the one bearing the name Baekwoon but acting as Premier Kim's dog? So? What? If I am caught, what will happen to Baekwoon? What about you and Chief Eunuch Han? You cannot do anything to me because you're afraid of the fact that your being planted by the Crown Prince's side as a spy might be exposed.
Am I wrong? What? Does the mere thought of it hurt? That is why I warned you that the Crown Prince is not your friend.
Stop! Chief Kim.
We came to arrest him on the Crown Prince's orders.
We have caught the culprit who broke into the palace and tried to frame me for treason by luring me with a fake letter.
Your Highness, is that true? Who broke into your quarters and committed such a heinous deed? He says he was hired by somebody as well.
Please send that criminal to be punished.
I shall interrogate the criminal who tried to frame you.
He asked for a public interrogation.
He said he will expose the truth in front of everyone.
Do not worry.
I am sure he knows that he cannot talk.
But we should meet with him before it is too late.
If my guess is correct, you were my father's friend and worked with him.
That is correct.
I searched for you to share in your father's will.
I do not want to.
Is it because of the Crown Prince? His Highness is pushing off his wedding.
He is not eating or sleeping well.
Ra On.
While untangling your thread, when you face a knot that is impossible to untangle, you must cut it out without holding back.
Do you understand what I mean? That is what is best for His Highness.
I am sorry.
Take care of yourself.
I will be back.
What brings you here at this late hour? What brings you here, Your Highness? I wanted to know why he tried to harm me.
We also came simply because we were curious and worried about the criminal.
Do you mean that man? Yes, Your Highness.
But how did you know that he is the criminal whom I spoke about? I did not tell anyone about his name or his appearance.
Well Commandant.
Do you know his name or crime? I do not, Your Highness.
We will find out once we ask him just who is behind him.
Get him up.
Get up.
Your Highness.
Did you touch the criminal before he was questioned again? Your Highness.
Is Premier Kim not present? I am here to see you, Your Highness.
I devoted myself to serving the nation for much longer than your being the interim king.
I cannot enter the court while I am being framed, can I? Then are you turning in your position as premier as well as your seal and robe? I wish to put everything down and prove my innocence, so please permit it.
Use another means to prove your innocence.
We are all sinners.
Please terminate us all.
Please terminate us all.
Please be understanding.
If you believe in my loyalty, I will capture and bring all the enemies who tried to turn us against each other.
High treason? (Hong Ra On, Age 18, Suspect of Dongungjeon attack) High treason? My goodness.
- Goodness.
- My gosh.
Let us go.
I think it will be too difficult for her to remain in the capital.
Is she leaving soon? Ra On.
While untangling your thread, when you face a knot that is impossible to untangle, you must cut it out without holding back.
Does she really not have anything she wants to ask me or hear from me? Nothing to argue.
Nothing to request.
Does she not want to see me or wonder how I am doing? Is she even alive? Byung Yun.
I know I said I would ask no questions, but I take it back.
Once.
Just once, will you let me see her? Ra On.
Should we live somewhere far away? It can be in Qing or on an island.
Somewhere far from this city.
Somewhere no one recognises us.
What do you think? Let's do that.
Let's leave here.
Let's live somewhere else.
But Mum, before we leave, I have something to do.
What is it? I have to say goodbye to someone properly so that he can live well without me.
Even if someone else replaces my place Do you want him to forget about you? No.
I want him not to feel apologetic toward me.
What an unfortunate fate.
Her father was a rebel, and she was in a performance troupe.
She led a good life all by herself without her parents' help.
You are not in love with a rebel's daughter who pretended to be a eunuch, are you? How clueless you are! I told you to let me know if you need a woman.
Did I not say to have as many women as you want? I said I would call as many as you want.
Just like you, Grandfather? Do I just spend a night with anyone and abandon her after that? Whether it's a woman, a man or even your own child, you throw them away when you do not need them any more.
Is that a tradition of our family? Is that how you would like me to live? What is it that you hate so much? It is the picture you drew in your head.
You have been drawing a big picture, having me in mind.
That's right.
I have made the far-sighted plan for our family and your future.
Are you saying you hate everything about it? Yes, Grandfather.
Even if it is poorly-planned and humble, I shall draw my own future by myself.
Ra On.
Why did you want to see me, Your Highness? Why are you being so cautious? Did anyone follow you? Did asking you to meet me here put you in danger? Right this moment I am with you is the most dangerous moment for me.
Only one word from you could get me arrested.
Ra On.
Put that down.
I shall not order anyone to hurt you.
Must I really say such an absurd thing like this? Your Highness, many things have changed from when you did not know about my identity.
What does that mean? I heard that His Majesty is suffering a great deal from the illness of his mind which he got because of my father 10 years ago.
You might hurt yourself.
Put down that knife.
You must resent my father as well.
However, I feel resentful as well.
Who accused my father of an evil rebel and made him die? I told you I would believe whatever you tell me.
Even your lies.
I see what you mean, so stop it.
I shall never ask you to meet me again.
(Love in the Moonlight) His highness will soon come to take you to the palace.
(It is a tradition that the groom visits) (the bride before the ceremony.
) Are you ready, Your Highness? Yes, Father.
I no longer have to stay in the boring annex.
The palace may seem large and splendid, but it is not as it seems.
With your straightforward personality, it could be hard to endure the life in the palace.
You are worried for nothing, Father.
You must have forgotten who I am.
Ha Yun.
Yes, Father.
This will be the last time I can call your name as your father.
Please stay strong and take good care of yourself.
You are talking as if we cannot see each other any more.
Your Highness, you have grown up and are finally getting married.
I am overwhelmed with joy.
I still remember vividly when I first met you years ago on my first day.
Your Highness, I wish you to have a long and healthy life.
I wish your happiness.
What took you so long? The wedding ceremony will begin soon.
It will take Lady Jo time to adjust to the palace.
Please take good care of her.
Your Majesty, Chief Magistrate is here.
Let him in.
Your Majesty Your Majesty Please forgive me for overstepping my bounds.
Your Highness.
Your Highness, this is terrible.
His Majesty has collapsed.
What? I do not know how to tell you this, but Well Stop stalling and tell me.
The Chief Magistrate just advised His Majesty that Hong Gyeong Nae was arrested.
It is about your father.
Meet me at the time and place below.
I will never forgive you.
I will listen only to you.
No matter what lie you tell, I will believe it.

I will move her to a safe location, so do not worry.
I must not know where that is, correct? It will make things harder for her if you try to know.
How did I become the person who makes life difficult for Ra On? I understand.
I will not ask any questions.
We do not have time.
Please take care of her.
Go on.
Your Highness.
Do not be curious about where I am.
Regardless of what news you hear about me, please do not be swayed.
