Fushigi Yûgi - The Mysterious Play (1995–2002): Season 1, Episode 4 - Missing Love - full transcript
The Priestess of Suzaku,
Lady Miaka...
...in order to find the remaining
five of the Suzaku Seven...
...assembled the brightest,
strongest, and most gifted men.
But, suddenly, a gazebo
collapsed on top of her...
...burying her and
Tamahome beneath the rubble.
But, just then, someone appeared
to save Lady Miaka from her peril.
It was Nuriko,
an imperial consort...
...who carried the mark of
"willow" upon her body.
But this woman did not
accept her position...
...and began behaving disrespectfully...
...towards the Lady Miaka.
"As the Priestess of Suzaku
accepted the boy's care..."
"...she considered the situation."
{\pos(307,476)}Nuriko would probably get
so mad if she saw this.
I feel like I'm
doing something wrong.
- What's wrong?
- Do you love Nuriko?
Not at all. We just met today.
First of all, she's not my type.
Really?
Oh, NOW I see!
You're jealous! Oh, dear...
You see, as handsome, strong, kind,
and generally wonderful as I am...
...I'm really a terrible guy.
{\pos(396,477)}Sorry, but I want money more than love.
You... You're wrong!
Now I feel even sorrier for Nuriko.
I shouldn't be jealous.
How long are you gonna laugh?!
Miaka...
What's wrong?
I was taking a walk earlier by the
pond to the west of the palace...
{\pos(252,476)}...and I lost the mate to this earring.
Oh, it's so unusual!
It's called a Night Glow gem.
When I came to serve
in the Imperial Court...
...Mother gave me these earrings,
which are a family treasure.
{\pos(250,475)}It'd be easier to look for it at night...
...since it glows in the dark...
...but my maids are all scared
of the dark and none will go.
Would you like me
to look for it for you?
But...
But, it's important to you, right?
Your mom gave you those earrings.
Relax! Just leave this to me!
Well, then, I'll repay you
by agreeing to serve...
...as Nuriko,
one of the Suzaku Seven.
Really?! All right!
Okay, wait right here! I swear
I'll find that earring for you!
Go to it.
What?
Yes, Highness. Well,
you're already 18, sir.
It's time that you considered
choosing an empress.
Why else have we assembled
the most beautiful women here...
...to serve as
your royal consorts?
Highness, why do you ignore
the women of the palace?
Because...
Because...?
I am far more beautiful than they.
That was a Joke.
Of course, Highness!
For now, ruling the Empire and
calming the people are most vital.
I can't think about
choosing an empress now.
But, Highness...
Oh, yes. What about
the girl named Nuriko?
Don't be ridiculous.
She's one of the Suzaku Seven.
She must be relieved of
her duties as a consort.
Besides, I've had my ideal
woman pictured in my mind...
...ever since I was a child.
Your ideal woman?
Miaka. What are you doing
out here at this late hour?
{\pos(330,473)}Oh, just doing a
little favor for Nuriko.
{\pos(319,474)}I was on my way to do it.
Are things still not
working out between you two?
I've heard various
reports from my servants.
All right, I'll issue
a direct order to her.
No one can refuse
the will of the emperor.
You can't order a person
to feel a certain way.
Besides, I honestly want
to make friends with her.
{\pos(271,479)}So, first, I have to try to get close to her.
{\pos(276,479)}See you! Gotta go!
It should be around here.
What...?
How is this possible?
No use... I can't get out of this!
Can't breathe... Tamahome!
Help me, Tamahome!
Miaka!
It felt like Miaka was
calling me just now.
Why is my heart
pounding like this?
That girl is such a fool!
Going out to a dark pond to search
for an earring that doesn't exist!
I never set one foot
outside of the palace.
To think I'd ever go there!
Indeed.
I wonder if she's gotten
soaked in the pond yet.
That may be fitting for
a girl from another world...
...who doesn't know anything
about court etiquette.
Tamahome...
Is what you just said true?
Let go of me, you muscle-bound...!
I won't let you go! Not to her!
Miaka just wants
to be friends with you!
Don't you understand that?!
I don't like her! How dare she
monopolize you and the emperor!
After I've served as a consort for a year...
...without the emperor
even noticing me!
That girl just shows up and
suddenly everyone loves her!
The emperor is an emperor!
What's so great about some common
girl from another world?!
That's why I got back at
her by going after you!
Oh...
You're in love with Hotohori--
I mean, the emperor.
Miaka! You're all right?
Wh- What?! I absolutely
won't apologize, you know!
It's your fault you got tricked.
You're right.
People only like you because
you're from another world!
Yeah.
Don't make a fool of me!
Aren't you even a little angry?!
Or are you that forgiving?!
Back at you!
I couldn't find your earring,
but isn't this a pretty stone?
{\pos(337,479)}Here.
You shouldn't be jealous. There's
nothing between Hotohori and I.
Do you want me to help you?
I can tell Hotohori how you feel.
I see. She really
wasn't in love with Tamahome.
So, where exactly
does this leave me ?
And?
And, what do you think? She just
wants you to notice her a little.
There's a girl close by who's
completely in love with you!
Miaka, do you have anyone you love?
Me?
Never mind about me!
I have. For a long time now.
One and only one.
A girl I've dreamed of.
I don't believe it! It's dry!
"The emperor told the Priestess
of Suzaku of his feelings..."
When I was a child, and
first heard the story of...
...the Priestess of Suzaku, who
would appear from another world...
...I always wondered
what she would be like.
Miaka, you are
the girl I imagined.
No other one holds
any interest for me.
I only want to know about you.
Everything about you...
Tamahome...
What is it?
What's wrong?!
Tamahome! Nuriko!
And just what are you two doing?
We came to see Miaka.
I know you have special permission
to enter my chambers...
...but shouldn't you have shown
better Judgement in this case?
Right.
Hotohori,
I'd better go to my room.
Miaka, what I said
before was the truth.
You said before that you wish
to return to your world.
After we've gotten the power
of Suzaku and this is all over...
...I will make you my empress.
You'd force me to...?!
Of course I wouldn't
order you to do it.
You can't order people to feel
a certain way. Isn't that right?
I'll have to get you
to fall in love with me.
Sleep here tonight.
I don't believe this!
He just proposed to me!
I couldn't sleep a wink.
To think I'd hear a love confession
from such an elegant person.
I wonder if I'm considered
really attractive in this world.
Tamahome heard the whole thing.
I wonder how he feels now.
Oh, excuse--
Hi.
That's it, just "hi"?
Because of last night?
Where are you going?
Out to the city.
I have work to do.
I came here from the country to
work, but I've hardly done any.
Wait, I'll come, too!
You have to make
friends with Nuriko...
...and find the other four of the
Suzaku Seven as soon as you can.
Tamahome...
Miaka...!
Nuriko...
So, there's nothing between
you and Hotohori, huh?!
Spending the night in the emperor's
room... I'll never forgive you!
But, I was just...
Tama, dear, wait for me!
And we were right on
the verge of being friends.
Now I'm back at square one.
Besides, what's with Tamahome's
attitude all of a sudden?
He just blew me off like that!
I didn't even get
a chance to say anything!
Doesn't he care about me?!
Okay, let's go!
I don't really want to follow them...
...but I want to make
friends with Nuriko...
...and find out
how Tamahome feels.
And how can Nuriko hang all over
him when she loves Hotohori?!
Look, Tama, dear, she's
trying to disguise herself.
- Leave me alone.
- Oh, how cold of you!
Okay, folks,
your attention, please!
You've all heard about the
Priestess of Suzaku, haven't you?
So, what about her?
The Priestess of Suzaku isn't
just from a neighboring country...
...or even from a distant land!
She's a girl from a completely
different world than ours!
Her clothes and belongings are
completely different from ours!
And I happen to have some of
her amazing possessions for sale!
So gather 'round!
What are they? Show us!
- It is...
- Is he...?
THIS!
He's still got the
chewing gum I gave him.
One piece for one silver tael!
- What?! Too high!
- Lower the price!
Not at all...
Tamahome... Are you trying to
use me to make some easy money?
Hey, something's wrong here!
Why do you have
the Priestess' stuff?!
I heard she's staying
with the emperor!
What are you saying?! That he's
lying and trying to cheat you?!
I'm just saying we don't know
if that stuff's real or not!
He may be saying that
so we'll buy it from him!
But I'm sure he's not!
Show us some proof!.
It's a trick, isn't it?!
Tamahome's telling you the truth!
I really did give him that gum!
Miaka...
- The Priestess!
- The Priestess of Suzaku!
It really is her!
Right, right! Let's form a line!
See me for her autograph!
How about one gold tael
for a handshake?
Quit trying to be my manager!
{\pos(405,475)}Say, wasn't the Priestess
with that guy before?
You mean he's for real?
- Let me see her!
- I'll pay two gold taels!
Cut it out!
I think we're safe here.
Yeah.
Why'd you do that?
Do you think I just
cause trouble for you?
I never said anything like that.
Then how do you feel about me?
Sorry to interrupt,
but could we talk to you?
So, what do you
want to talk about?
You wanna do business, you gotta
pay us for the privilege.
No matter where you go,
you can always find gangsters!
I don't have any money.
Then we're just gonna hafta
teach you a little lesson.
Well, well...
Cute gal you've got there.
Boss!
Get your hands off her!
Don't be stupid and push me, kid!
I run the rackets around here!
I could always make sure
you can't work in this city!
So, why don't you just pay up?
Boss, it looks like that
girl's the Priestess of Suzaku.
Oh? That's great!
Okay, pal, how about
we make a deal?
You don't have to pay us
if you want to work around here.
Just let me buy the girl
from you for 30 gold taels.
Miaka and Tama are in big trouble!
Hang in there!
I'm watching over you!
Sell her for 30 gold taels?!
Don't insult me!
40 gold taels.
35 taels!
40 taels!
37 taels, you greedy SOB!
I said 40 taels, you cheapskate!
Tamahome... How could you?!
You shaking, sister?
Yeah, 'cuz I'm mad as hell!
I'll teach you to make a fool
of me! I'll take her myself!.
There are things in this world
I won't sell for any price!
Hmpf!. So, it just
turns out like this.
- C'mon, let's go back.
- You idiot!
Now you won't be able to
work around here, right?!
And you got hurt even
worse on my account!
Why?! Why would you
go this far for me?!
Let's go.
ANSWER ME!
It's not important...
I won't accept that!
Because, I... I...!
Because I love you!
Sorry, I don't feel the same.
I only protect you because
you're the Priestess of Suzaku.
Let's go back.
The emperor will be worried.
Tamahome...
Ta...ma...
'After being rescued, the Priestess
of Suzaku collapsed with a fever... "
Miaka, what's wrong?!
Speak to me!
Miaka! Hey, Miaka!
The Lady Miaka
has collapsed from...
...the exhaustion of living
this unfamiliar life.
The emperor
Hotohori then decides...
...that he will return
her to her own world.
In order to do this,
they set out for the home...
...of Taiitsukun,
the controller of the world.
Next time,
"Bewildered Heartbeats."
{\pos(304,475)}The heart moves to and fro like a wave.
