Love in the Moonlight (Moonlight Drawn by Clouds / Gureumi Geurin Dalbit) (2016) s01e16 Episode Script

What took you so long? Your Majesty Please forgive me for overstepping my bounds.
Go ahead.
Your Majesty.
Hong Gyeong Nae is alive.
What What did you say? Nan Hee.
Gyeong Nae? You must run.
Where is Ra On? Ra On On the hill Come with me.
Stay right here.
No.
No.
No.
Excuse me.
Are you looking for me? He was just arrested and is being transported.
How dare you? Do you dare mock me? I could not believe it either, but it is the truth.
No.
No.
He died 10 years ago.
How? I think the rumours were true that he survived the riot 10 years ago and was planning a new rebellion.
Then - Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Call the royal physician! Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Your Highness.
His Majesty has collapsed.
Hong Gyeong Nae was arrested.
Mum, are you all right? They captured him.
What? Your father.
What do you mean? Your father I thought he was dead.
I just hoped he was alive somewhere I thought he died.
But he didn't.
He was alive.
He came back.
Ra On.
(Chapter 16, The World You Dream Of) Move out of the way! Move.
Who is that? That is Hong Gyeong Nae.
That really is Hong Gyeong Nae.
He really was alive.
Oh, my.
My gosh.
Move.
Move.
It is Hong Gyeong Nae.
Oh my gosh.
He really was not dead.
Step aside.
Move.
Oh my gosh.
How could this be? I waited for so long.
Why must I see him like this? I am heartbroken.
His Majesty ordered to bring him to the palace, not the Department of Justice.
I will lay down my life if necessary to free him.
We are guarding this place, so do not worry.
How is your mother? The shock must have been too much.
She cannot seem to awake.
Once she calms down, she should be fine.
Do not worry too much.
Yes, Master.
Okay, then.
I I have something to tell you.
No.
Do you really not know how dangerous the palace is for you right now? I do know.
They had been after him for 10 years.
Your father and you may be unable to spare your lives.
That is why I am asking you.
If things go wrong Master, every person in this nation knows about my father but me.
I cannot let you fall into danger as well.
Just one last time.
No.
For the first time, I want to see my father.
Please help me.
He was alive.
He came to my bedroom just a few days ago.
It was not a dream.
It was not.
How could this happen on the day the Crown Prince was supposed to be wed? Your Majesty.
We will set a new date, so do not worry about the wedding and use your energy to get better.
He trifled with me for 10 years.
Ordering his execution would not suffice.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I agree whole-heartedly.
He committed a grave sin of treason.
You should judge him yourself.
I believe execution is proper.
Premier Kim.
His Majesty should not do it himself.
You know very well how his health failed at the news of his arrest.
That is correct.
Your health is still unstable.
I do not believe you should.
No.
As Premier Kim says, I shall judge him myself.
Keep your head down and follow closely.
Were you the person who was coming for me? Do not ask anything until we enter the palace.
Your Highness, where are you going? Let us go to the prison.
Pardon? At this hour? I must meet him myself.
I will wait here.
I know.
I agree.
Are you really Hong Gyeong Nae? I am.
What was the precious Crown Prince curious about that he came to the prison? Does your family know that you have been arrested? I have no such thing.
I hear you wish to eliminate the King.
Does that mean I am also your target? Has the investigation begun? I have lost something very precious because of you.
"A leader was placed for the sake" "of the people.
" "It is not for one man to sit high above everyone" "and fulfil his selfishness.
" Is that what Baekwoon believes? No.
There is one more thing.
I believe there is an error in the statement.
What is that? It is not the ultimate being who chooses the leader.
A leader for the people must be chosen by the people.
It is too dangerous.
Let us leave at daybreak.
I am sorry for troubling you.
Did you bring her here? My apologies, Your Highness.
Are you sure? I thought it was strange he averted my eyes.
The unusually small frame too.
I saw the side profile when they turned, and I am sure it is her.
She has no fear.
How dare she come in here? Capture her before the investigation begins.
Yes, Master.
It will be impossible for even an ant to leave the palace right now.
I cannot wait to see the Crown Prince's face when he sees the father-and-child reunion.
If someone follows you into Jahyeondang, you may hide in here.
It is difficult to find the door from outside.
I never knew there was a room like this in Jahyeondang.
My mother used it from time to time.
Are you all right? Yes, Your Highness.
I will find you a way in during the changing of the guards.
If you miss someone, you should see them.
Pass.
Pass.
Pass.
Pass.
It is frightening.
(Hong Ra Ron, Hong Gyeong Nae's daughter) I am mistaken to think she looks familiar, right? I wish you were, but she is to me as well.
Eunuch Hong is a rebel's daughter? Not even a rebel's son.
It says, "daughter".
Is it right? Eunuch Hong? What is this? The eunuch whom the Crown Prince favoured turned out to be a wench.
What? And it turns out she is the rebel Hong Gyeong Nae's daughter.
Two days from now, we will free him from prison at 1:30pm.
During changing of the guards, we shall take the guards down and open the prison gate.
If you take him to the underground passage, I will get him out of the palace.
Yes, Master.
How many will assist in the escape? It will be 10 including you.
Yes, Master.
You must protect her and make sure she is not found out.
Yes, Master.
What brings you to Dongungjeon? I know we have not had the wedding ceremony, but I must have become the Crown Princess, seeing how they let me wait alone in Dongungjeon when you were not here.
I am sorry for making you wait, but it is late.
You should return another day.
Your bracelet Did you remove it? You seemed to have cherished it, but I do not see it.
That is why I asked.
I put it somewhere else.
I heard if you share those bracelets, even if you part ways, destiny will find a way for you to meet again.
The vendors at the market are good at making up things like that.
They must know the hearts of people who wish to believe it, knowing they are lies.
There is a maiden whom I like.
What kind of maiden is she? Your Highness.
This is bad.
Eunuch Hong What is it? Please head to Jungungjeon.
Please hurry.
Never come in to this place again.
Never.
Do you have something to say? The guard had to step away and asked me to watch you.
Did you come last night at that guard's request as well? Ra On.
Yes? Hong Ra On.
I did not name you that to lead such a difficult life.
I am sorry.
When were you planning to come to me? I do not know.
Perhaps when you no longer needed to pretend to be a boy.
Even if you had not been able to change the world, you could have been of great help as a father, just by being there.
I did not want to throw my child into a world of problems and scold her for not doing better.
Thus, I wanted to change it into a world that is slightly better for you to live in.
Still.
If I had just known you were alive, it would have been nice.
I would have missed you and called out for you, Father.
Oh, my.
My apologies, Master.
I am in a rush.
What is the fuss? Your Highness.
I have found her.
Found whom? Hong Sam Nom.
I mean, Hong Ra On.
Was she really in the palace? Yes.
How fearless of her.
Where did you see her? I saw her exit the prison.
She is headed toward Jahyeondang now.
With the Crown Prince, too.
To Jahyeondang with the Crown Prince? Get the Commandant of Palace Guards.
I must watch for myself.
What brings you all the way here? Your Highness, I have brought a tea Grandfather sent, but I must tell you something first.
Thank you, but this is a bad time.
Come another time.
No.
You must listen to me first.
I said to come another time.
It is about a new-born baby that was sneaked out of the palace.
Should I really come back later? How dare you scorn me, the mother of the nation, with this absurd accusation? You are the one scorning the nation, not I.
You know that.
Shut that mouth! Forget what Eunuch Sung said.
Do not say a word to His Majesty or to Grandfather.
If you agree, I will also keep quiet What will you do if I talk? Will you tell His Majesty that I switched babies? Who would believe you? I would not say it without evidence.
How dare you throw out empty threats? Empty threats? What if the baby is alive and not dead? Would that change things? I did not want to put you in danger because of me.
Do not say that.
Our destinies were tangled already before you and I ever met.
Thus, do not feel bad or hurt any more.
It is very late.
You must go, Your Highness.
It is too cloudy to see the moon.
How can I walk in the dark by myself? So I will stay here a little longer.
I imagine how it would be if we were in a different situation many times a day.
At least while we are here, hidden from the world, let us not think about anything and look at each other.
Ra On.
I think I can finally sleep well tonight.
Did you escape from prison? We must catch the escaped prisoner.
We must catch him now.
Is anyone out there? Summon Premier Kim.
I shall order him to begin the interrogation of Hong Gyeong Nae.
I did not know the interrogation would begin so soon.
Getting him out of the interrogation room will be 10 times harder than the prison.
Yes, Master.
I am aware of that.
Byung Yun.
Jang Gi Baek died in prison.
Is that right? I did it.
Although he betrayed us, he had been my comrade for 10 years.
However, personal feelings must be put aside for a great cause.
Devote all your power to help him whom we have waited for long escape from the interrogation room.
Yes, Master.
Tell Ra On to disguise herself and hide next to the gate.
We will take her out with him.
It will be safer for her.
Yes, Master.
The interrogation will begin soon.
What do you want to ask me about now? It is about what you said last time.
By the leader chosen by the people, do you mean another puppet king who does as the people tell him? No.
I want that as well.
Politics for the people.
However, how can people choose the king who rules over them? What we want is not only politics for the people.
It is politics by the people.
A king like yourself who is born as a king must think of himself as the sun.
The absolute being that shines over the people.
A king chosen by the people is different.
How is he different? He would consider himself equal to the people as a human being.
A human being dreams of becoming a human being.
Is it not funny? Then why do you think that removing the King is the only way? No king would give up the throne by himself.
You and I.
Nobility and peasants.
Women and men.
A rebel's child and a king's successor.
When you become a king, would you accept all of them to be equal? Your Highness, we must take him now.
Not only a leader chosen by the people cherishes them.
How could someone who cherishes each of the people treat them as if they were animals? So what are you trying to say? The world I dream of is not different from the world you dream of.
The only difference is how far they are from the present.
I shall come to see you after the interrogation.
Maybe we could find the way without bloodshed.
The way we can walk together toward the world we dream of.
Hong Gyeong Nae.
Do you admit that you committed treason? I do not know what treason means.
Therefore, I cannot admit it.
We have proof of your betrayal and rebellion against the nation.
Will you still tell a lie? What is betrayal? What is rebellion? How dare he! Begin the torture immediately.
Torture him until he admits his faults.
If you tell a lie again, you will be executed right here.
Hong Gyeong Nae.
You led a riot 10 years ago, put the country in distress and caused the deaths of thousands of people.
Do you admit it? Is that what you meant by treason, betrayal and rebellion? If it is so, I admit it.
There are the accomplices who planned the treason with me right here.
Those in authority collected too much taxes from the peasants and took the most of it to increase their fortunes.
I, Hong Gyeong Nae, gathered the people who were dying of hunger and led them to death.
The King blew up a bomb to destroy the lives and hopes of the people who fought until the end in hopes of creating a new world.
Hear me! Cut off the head of that monstrous I am confessing my faults.
Please execute them with me.
That'd be the only way to repay the sacrifices of thousands of people.
I command! Cut off his head right this instant! Right now! - Yes, Your Majesty.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Please revoke your royal command.
Crown Prince.
Your Majesty, please refrain yourself.
You must follow the procedure and decide on his punishment after the interrogation.
(The punishment is decided after the interrogation.
) Put up your swords! I am sure that is not the reason.
You must not show your personal feelings when we are punishing the felon.
Premier Kim.
It is widely rumoured in the palace that you are intimate with his daughter.
Premier Kim.
What are you talking about? Is that true, Your Highness? Crown Prince, why are you not answering? Is what Premier Kim said true? Bring her in.
This is the wench.
Crown Prince.
Is what Premier Kim said really true? She is Hong Gyeong Nae's daughter, Hong Ra On.
Is she the spy who served you as a eunuch? Is it true that you hid her because you fell in love with her? Do not punish her for my faults.
I have not even seen her until now.
I have never called her name.
She has nothing to do with me.
Your Highness, you must prove by yourself that you did not plan treason with the rebels.
You can prove it by cutting off her head now.
Crown Prince, why are you hesitating? I command.
Cut off her head right this instant.
Right now! - Yes, Your Majesty.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Highness.
From this moment, please stop loving me.
Please remember me as a rebel's daughter.
I do not want to leave you the horrible pain of guilt that you could not protect the maiden you love.
Protect the King and the Crown Prince! What are you doing? Kill those rebels.
Right now.
Right now! If you wish to save the Crown Prince, put down your swords.
Byung Yun.
