Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo (2016) s01e08 Episode Script

[Episode 8]
Your Highness
Look at me.
Look at me properly.
Your eyes
That look in your eyes
I hate it like crazy.
So don't ever look at me like that again.
How did I look at you?
I've never looked at you in a
different way, Your Highness.
You feel sorry for me. You pity me!
Did you think I would be grateful for it?
Do you know what if feels like to get
charity from someone like you?
Stay out of my sight.
Next time I don't know what I'll do.
I'm sorry I could not stop it.
Eun also regrets it a lot,
so please don't be angry.
I noticed you did not look at me.
What?
Why did you close your eyes instead
of taking a good look at me?
I thought you wouldn't like it.
Have I offended you?
It really is true that a person's
feelings are the most complicated.
I feel upset with one person for seeing
and upset with another for not seeing.
I can't figure out my feelings either.
Always look straight at me,
no matter what.
I would like it if you did.
Yes.
About Hae Soo
I think she was manipulated by Yo.
Do not bring that up.
I don't want to hear it.
I see you've become a
Damiwon lady already.
It is all thanks to you, Your Majesty.
I assume you're still getting along
well with the princes.
I am unable to meet them
as often as before.
I see you are still intelligent.
You know your place.
It is time to brush the king's hair.
Queen Yoo has arrived.
I will do it.
You want to use this measly
wooden hairpin for the king?
The drought is severe.
I told her to keep my clothing simple.
This is moxa tea.
Thank you.
This is white tea.
Thank you.
Oh! This is pear juice.
It's my very favorite, Soo.
Mine is green tea.
You must have prepared
our favorites on purpose.
If you are enjoying your drinks,
there is nothing more I want.
- This is fresh leaf tea.
- Take it away.
This is not the time for tea.
- Pardon me?
- There is a drought. Tea?
The 4th Prince is right.
There has been a drought
since last winter.
The people of this country
are crying out to the heavens.
We must live simply and show restraint.
Are you sure you looked into
the favor I asked of you?
I did.
The 4th Prince's favorite drink
is fresh leaf tea.
His favorite snack is
oil and honey pastry.
- Are you sure?
- I told you that I am.
[13th Prince Baek Ah]
You didn't want it to be obvious,
so I even found out everyone's favorites.
Gosh, then why isn't he even touching it?
I'm illiterate and I studied
so hard to do all of this.
Ask my brother yourself then.
Ask him what you need to do in order
for him to get over his anger.
I need him to look at me
in order to ask him.
He seems to have made up with the others.
- Why is he acting that way to me?
- That is true.
He forgave our 10th brother right away.
You don't think that So and you--
Yes, I will do as you ask.
What? You're leaving already?
What what are you doing?
How are you so pretty
even when you are glaring at me?
Are you insane?
This is your punishment for being
unable to appease my fourth brother.
Well, Soo.
I will see you again, all right?
Oh! Go on.
He is trying to kill me.
His Highness went too far
with his jokes, don't you think?
Oh my!
Oh dear. I'm so sorry about that.
What's going on here?
"Newly Revised
Materia Medica: Tang Edition."
It's a medical book on
the use of over 100 medicines.
"Supplement to Materia Medica."
It is a book about many medicinal plants
by Chen Cang Qi from the Tang Dynasty.
I already read it all.
Really?
Then, I'd better give you more books.
Think about what you did wrong
for four hours.
It is all your fault.
What?
A mere court lady being close to princes
is what is causing all of these problems.
Do not ever talk to the princes
or even look their way.
Then you will not suffer like this.
I have known the princes since
even before I entered the palace.
I have not been flirting with or
seducing them like the others imagine.
You are mistaken if you think
you cannot cut off relationships.
Look at the wound on your arm.
You ended your relationship
to the king with one cut.
I refuse to see the Damiwon
in disarray because of you.
Stay away from the princes.
Yes.
By the way, why is it that you
only eat porridge, Court Lady Oh?
I have never seen you eat a proper meal.
If I consume foods with too much flavor
it is difficult to
discern the tea flavor.
Hold it up straight!
There's no food because of the drought.
There's nothing to do for fun!
Oh! You scared me.
Aren't you the bear fur girl?
[10th Prince Eun]
Why are you here again?
I I I
I
- So, I
- What, what, what?
Do you know if there's
anything to do for fun?
When will the sparrow come?
When is it going to come?
Forget this!
How long do I have to wait
I caught it. I caught it!
Did you see that? I caught it.
Then, are we going to
cook this and eat it?
How many more should we catch?
Murderer!
How could you break the neck
of that cute, little thing?
You still call yourself a person?
Did he want to eat it alive?
Hey.
It's burning.
It's all burning.
[Grand General Park Soo Kyung]
What kind of a man
can't even catch a bird?
What use is he?
I can catch them.
Then how will he protect
his wife and children?
I can protect us.
Gosh.
I don't suppose you want to
change your mind, do you?
I have only one path.
Gosh what!
Hey! Do you think I taught you how to
fight so you could attack me over a boy?
Why, you! All right, fine then.
Do whatever you want.
We will hold a rain ritual.
You should all stay out of
the Damiwon for now.
"Yok Hyul."
"Yok" as in "washing"
and "Hyul" as in "hole."
Your Highness.
Soo.
How could I have forgotten this place?
Chae Ryung told me about it.
I told her I was frustrated
because I could not see you.
How did a place like this
even come to exist?
Though, I am very lucky it exists.
You could be outside the palace
if you left this place.
Don't you want to leave?
I suppose so.
All I need to do is take a few steps.
I miss Chae Ryung and
I want to go to the market.
I want to visit Myung Hee too.
The 4th Prince told me something
when I first entered the palace.
No matter where I run,
I'll be in the palm of the king's hand.
There is nowhere in Goryeo
I can escape the eyes of the king.
Yes.
There is no place his power cannot reach.
Damiwon is a place that suits me well.
Until the time comes for me to be
allowed to leave the palace officially
I will work hard and live well.
Until then
can you not forget me?
Soon, there will be a large rain ritual.
If there is rain after the ritual,
the king will grant favors to celebrate.
He will pardon a criminal
or allow a royal marriage.
Or hold a feast for an elder.
Also
he allows a court lady
to leave her service.
I see.
What?
Leave service?
If the rain falls,
I will request that you leave the palace.
Then I can go back to your home again,
Your Highness?
When you do
I'll find all the
medicinal herbs in Songak
and buy what you need to make soap.
I will fill the house with them.
Chae Ryung and Princess Yeon Hwa
will complain so much.
I wish it would rain.
It has to.
Yes.
It has to.
You must never scratch them and
remember not to use cold water.
I am off to catch groups of thieves
that have appeared since the drought.
- Would I have water to wash?
- Oh
Lady Soo, I'm sure you know.
Shh, you must keep quiet.
Shh, of course.
I sneaked out on my own. Don't worry.
I left a necklace on your desk
in your room at the Damiwon.
It's in return for your help.
Oh, thank you.
We are ready to go.
Okay, let's go.
What are you doing? Let me go.
Where are you taking me?
Please, let me go.
Your Your Majesty.
[Queen Yoo]
Where have you been?
I was off running an errand.
You were with the Crown Prince.
I said goodbye to the Crown Prince
before he went to fight the rebellion.
Why do you have so much with you
when you were just saying goodbye?
Well, that's
They are all precious items that should
not be outside of the Damiwon.
Did the Crown Prince tell you
to bring these things?
That's not it.
I had an errand to run elsewhere and
I stopped by to see the Crown Prince.
Then, what are these precious
medicines being used for?
Is the Crown Prince ill, by any chance?
With what?
I do not know anything.
You don't know?
You dare to test me?
Please let her go!
She is returning from
Cheondeokjeon Palace under my orders.
Cheondeokjeon Palace?
Court Lady Oh.
You are mocking me.
His Majesty's knees have been
injured from the rain ritual.
I sent her to give him
medicinal ointment.
It is the law of the Damiwon
not to speak of the king.
I am only informing you so that this
misunderstanding does not grow larger.
Why would you send this child?
She has not been at the Damiwon long
and you send her to treat the king?
Then should it have been me?
What?
I asked if you'd have preferred
me going to see the king.
Then would there have been
no misunderstanding?
The Damiwon is under my jurisdiction
just as the king has commanded.
I will see to the punishment
of that child.
Why are you here?
Don't be nervous.
I'm not planning to stay for long.
I can't stand being with you even for a moment.
Better get going now!
Why?
Are you afraid that I'll come to you
after killing people like last time?
No.
I have not thought of that.
There is no smell of blood today.
Only the smell of a monster.
Just tell me what you want.
No matter how much
you hate Court Lady Oh
you should have maintained
your dignity as a queen.
If you make noise in Damiwon in that way,
everyone will gossip behind you,
saying you can't even let young maidens off.
And that it is karma to have a son like me.
What?
So please respect yourself.
Stop blaming innocent people too.
We don't need to talk
like this to each other, right?
Then
That crazy bastard.
Don't tell me
It is because of the Hae family?
Court Lady Oh.
Thank you. What actually happened was
I told you to stay away
from the Crown Prince.
There is no end to your arrogance.
I should never have taken you in.
I regret it.
Court Lady Oh.
What what have I done so wrong?
You make medicinal herbs.
How does it differ if I make
medicinal herbs for the Crown Prince?
I know how to help him.
Why do you keep telling me to ignore him?
You lecture me and punish me
more than any other court lady.
I can't figure out why,
no matter how much I think about it.
You do not know the palace.
- You don't know it all.
- No, I don't know it.
So why don't you teach me?
I I feel like this is all unfair.
I am always trying so hard
to get through it.
Why is it that you hate me so much?
I am so hurt, frustrated,
and feel mistreated.
Because when I look at you,
I am reminded of myself!
You trust people.
You are good to others
and you have no fear.
A girl like you should
not be in the palace.
A girl like you could easily die.
I feel so anxious
Court Lady! Court Lady!
Are you all right, Court Lady?
Court Lady Oh! Please, wake up.
Court Lady Oh! Court Lady!
Are you feeling better?
What happened?
You had severe stomach pains,
so you lost consciousness.
The doctor sneaked out of the
Cheondeokjeon Palace to see you.
Did he?
No one else knows, do they?
Don't worry.
I will keep it a secret that you lost
strength from only eating porridge.
This is pine nut porridge.
The doctor said it is all right to eat.
I'm all right, so leave it and go.
I'm going to watch you finish eating
and then I will leave.
Do not be stubborn. I told you to leave.
Speaking to me like that won't work.
What?
I know why you treated me
that way all this time.
You were worried that I would
make a mistake and die.
You saw me hurt my arm, as well.
You said that I'm a lot like you,
Court Lady Oh.
I'll be very, very careful just like you.
I'll be able to live well.
So you should learn to depend on others
when you're sick like this.
It's okay to do it.
Please eat.
My arm hurt so much from
grinding up the pine nuts.
This is porridge?
All the people want a rain calling ritual
but my body can't keep up
and the Crown Prince can't make it back yet.
Your Majesty, why don't we
choose one of the princes?
If one whose energy overflows
with water were to head up the ritual
the people will feel more at ease.
Your Highness Wang Won.
You were born in the year of the dog.
That's right.
What is this all about?
- Ji Mong, can't you just leave me out?
- Pardon?
I don't like being included
in these things.
What if I'm picked
and people criticize me?
It will be scary.
Eun, how can life always be easy?
Regardless of who is picked,
rainfall is what is important.
Wook, what happens if it does not rain?
You'll have to die.
Die?
Before this nation was founded,
the people killed the king themselves.
They say the blood of the king
was spilled in request for rain.
Ji Mong! Take my name out!
No, no. I'm sure no one will kill you.
If it's like Yo said
the whole nation will be angry if it
doesn't rain, so how can we survive that?
It won't rain because of the rain ritual.
You do the rain ritual until it rains.
A person cannot move the heavens.
You just need to make it look that way.
4th Prince Wang So,
born in the year of the rooster.
Ji Mong.
4th Prince, Wang So.
What?
This is the heavens' will.
You will lead the rain ritual.
I will do so.
Does it make sense that I was chosen?
I suppose the heavens
felt you were necessary.
What are you worried about?
The heavens chose you, Your Highness.
It is not good to doubt yourself.
Yes, I was chosen.
Please give us rain. Please rain.
- The 4th Prince?
- It's the 4th Prince.
Please let it rain.
- The 4th Prince?
- It's the 4th Prince.
Please let it rain.
Who is that?
Hey, what's going on?
Isn't that the 4th Prince?
How could this be?
Why is it him of all people?
How can a man in a mask
be the master of the ritual?
What if you anger the heavens?
He's a monster, not a person!
Gosh! This is bad luck.
Goodness, this is bad.
We need someone to bring rain.
Give us a son to bring rain!
Your Majesty, are you casting us aside?
Let us through!
Your Majesty!
How can you do this to us?
Your Majesty,
are you turning your back on us?
I told you that an opportunity
would come again if you waited.
This rain ritual is an optimal time
to change the Crown Prince.
You must not lose this opportunity.
I have already sent thieves to stop
the Crown Prince on his way home.
It may difficult for him to return
at the moment.
So does not blink an eye when he kills.
Yet he falls apart so easily
when you mention his face.
I really do think he is someone the
heavens turned their back on.
Why was it that he happened to be
chosen when I had plans for it?
I do wonder what
the king and Choi Ji Mong
were thinking when they chose him.
Chose him?
How could they have known who to choose?
Do you believe the heavens
can move people?
That is all nonsense.
People move the heavens.
The rain ritual is the same.
Whoever leads it
can lead it until it rains.
This time I must see you
take hold of Goryeo.
You can do it, can you not?
Your Highness.
Your Highness?
When did he put this thing here?
Are you asleep?
What are you going to do hiding here?
You should get going now.
Everyone must be worried about you.
I don't want to bother.
Don't hold on to what happened too much.
Everyone's just trying to
eat and survive.
They'll forget it soon.
I told you I don't want pity from you.
Do you know the reason
why you were born?
What?
How long do you have to
live in a world like this?
Have you tried to find out why?
Yes, I have.
I think about that these days.
You have?
But there is no answer.
I wasn't born like this
because I wanted to be.
I'm the one who determines how I'll live.
I can live a very cool life
or I can live a sad one.
I just don't want to live
a life being controlled by others.
That's what I've decided.
No one in this world has an easy life.
You just don't notice them.
Everyone has a hard life.
They'll be starting
the rain ritual again soon.
What you went through just now will pass.
It's bothersome.
It will.
It's bothersome.
It will.
You are young, yet you pretend to
know everything about the world.
Gosh, why was I born?
Why would he ask me that
and make me stress about it?
That's it!
.
The rain ritual is today and the
Crown Prince is still not here.
Something very bad
must have happened to him.
Wait a little longer.
The people will not stay calm
if the rain ritual gets delayed.
I will go out of the palace
to find the Crown Prince.
Please do what you can to
appease the people, Your Highness.
I will not go.
I've had enough of standing
in front of the people.
The Crown Prince is only coming
to stand in your place.
You had no problem killing assassins.
You're going to fall into a depression
over a measly thing like that?
Measly thing?
You are too hung up on
the scar on your face.
You can't be a strength to the
Crown Prince if you can't overcome that.
You will never resolve the grudge
you have with your mother, as well.
So
you used a ploy to choose me on purpose
and humiliate me?
Why?
You thought I would overcome it
if you put me in the worst situation?
Is that it?
So, you knew.
You need to be more confident.
That way the stones being thrown at you
will decrease in number.
And you've been hit
with those stones before?
"Heaven's will"?
You think I'm lacking intelligence
because I have this scar?
While my brothers were treated as princes
I was treated as less than
a butcher's son.
Now, I am the master of the ritual.
Unless you needed a slave
to sit there until it rained
there's no way I'd be chosen!
If it rains because of that "slave",
that slave will become like a king!
What of the way of the heavens?
You are definitely to stand tall
before all the people.
This is the only way the Crown Prince
can sit on the throne
and you can stand in a position
that is subject only to the king.
However, I can only lay the pieces.
I cannot force you to do this.
I understand.
I do.
Your will only takes you this far.
Come with me now.
I'm going to the rain ritual.
I have no time to go with you.
I can take that mask off for you.
What?
You
It doesn't bother you
to see this ugly face?
Do you feel sorry for me?
How can I feel sorry for someone
who is always uttering death threats?
Whether you have a scar or not,
no matter how people see you,
the fact that you're a good person
is more important to me.
In the end, it's only a single hand-span.
Your having a long, dark life
because of this one hand-span
doesn't that seem a bit unfair?
Can I really trust you?
I have always wondered and doubted.
In the past, I always trusted people
and was always betrayed by them.
That's when I learned
that it is difficult for someone to trust another.
Therefore, I intend not to change.
If you will trust me, Your Highness,
I will not change first.
I promise.
If it is you
I can put myself in your hands.
Do whatever you want.
From now on
I am yours.
Is the Crown Prince not here yet?
Please wait a little longer,
Your Majesty.
We cannot wait indefinitely.
If the time for the rain ritual passes,
what will happen after?
Your Majesty, why don't we appoint the
3rd Prince as the master of the ritual?
He is the oldest after the Crown Prince.
There is good reason and
there will be no grievances about it.
No matter what you do,
the Crown Prince won't be coming back.
What do you mean?
My brother has a tendency
to lose out on opportunities.
You can open your eyes now.
Seems like the rain ritual is starting soon.
Do you remember?
I said before, right?
You're mine.
Whether it was then
Or now
Or the moment you touched my face
I've made up my mind
I will make you mine.
Brace yourself from now on.
I will
never let go of you.
What is this?
I came to take my seat.
Only the Crown Prince and I have
the right to sit in this palanquin.
You have a lot of guts for a beast.
You
Please sit down.
Ji Mong!
The 4th Prince was chosen by the heavens.
Let's depart.
Please give us rain.
Let the rain fall.
Please rain!
Please give us rain!
It's the 4th Prince!
What? Is it you again?
It is. It's the 4th Prince again.
- Gosh!
- What are you doing here?
- I ought to just
- Wait!
Look at him closely.
His face looks different.
The mask is gone.
Didn't they say he had scars all over his face?
Son of the dragon!
Please bring us rain.
Please rain! Bring us rain!
Please let it rain!
- Let it rain!
- Please give us rain.
Please let it rain.
Please rain!
What has happened?
Where is Yo?
Control yourself.
It is more important now
to complete the rain ritual.
It's raining!
It's raining! It's rain!
The heavens have answered us.
It is finally raining.
It is raining!
It is finally raining!
Gwangjong?
[Scarlet Heart: Ryeo]
Show your bare face
and be more confident.
How could you lose
an opportunity like that?
You should've torn his throat out
to get it from him.
Be careful of Prince Wang So.
Please give me Hae Soo from the Damiwon.
