JOURNEY TO THE WEST Episode 48
Last year...
...from today...
Lady, who is your family?
Why are you crying here?
How did you get in here?
Wh... who are you?
What place is this?
Take me home.
Otherwise, my royal father will punish you.
This is Bujin Temple.
I'm the abbot.
Who are you?
Me?
I'm the princess of Sindhu.
You...
You're the Princess of Sindhu?
But why are you in my temple in the middle of the night?
I don't know neither.
I was playing in the garden with the royal maids.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind.
Then wind carried me to here.
I don't know what place is this neither.
This...
Why didn't you send her back to her country
to see her royal father?
Doesn't the father know his daughter is missing?
Why didn't he send someone to look for her?
The next day, I went to Sindhu.
I found out there's another princess there.
Could it be...
Could it be another princess, who looks just like her,
living in the palace?
Not really. We are not very clear.
Because we don't have the chance to see Princess.
I think this matter is really strange and...
I cannot explain about this.
This matter cannot be known to others.
As I'm worried about the consequences.
I'm worried for this lady's life.
So, I locked her in this room.
I send her tea and rice via a small window.
This is just a temporary measure.
What happens next?
I told the other monks that she is a demon.
I tied her up.
But, we are monks.
We should be merciful.
I can't hurt her.
I always send her two simple meals a day.
But this child will throw her temper and cry.
After a while, she got used to it.
At night, she will cry while missing her parent.
From what I observed, she may not be a fake.
If she's a demon, she will devour everyone by now.
But why did she say she's a princess?
I think she's either a real princess
or someone with mental problems.
Hope that you can help to check it out...
when you reached Sindhu (India).
My 'Dream Man', take me away.
Take me out of here.
You claimed to be a princess.
Now, who is this 'Dream Man'?
I'm really a princess.
If you don't believe me,
you can take me to the palace.
There's a portrait of you in my palace.
I beg you,
please get me out.
Lady, please don't worry.
We'll help you.
Please wait here while we investigate this matter.
Are you getting me out or not?!
If you don't,
I'll kill myself right now.
Get me out or not?!
We can discuss this matter calmly.
This big white one is mine.
Junior Sha, is this brother monkey's?
I'll keep it safe for him.
All you know is eat!
What are you doing?
This is for Master.
All for Master?
Yes.
Master is still weak, get it?
I'm also weak.
Luckily she is not too badly hurt.
After applying some medicine, she will be alright.
She is too strong willed and difficult to get along with.
If you want to bring her along, it will not be convenient.
My 'Dream Man'.
What are you doing?!
Don't touch me.
Move it away.
Alright, who's scared?
Look at yourself, so dirty.
I'm not dirty.
- Move. - Look at her...
- Don't touch me. - Look at her...
- You're dirtier than me. - Junior Sha, look at her.
'Dream Man',
I can disguise myself as a man to stay beside you.
Wukong, what do you think?
There's no other choice, you have to become a 'monk'.
Don't make me shave my head.
Please, I beg of you.
We'll give you a monk hat.
Why didn't you give me that extra hat?
Thank you.
You're a nice guy.
Then we've decided.
'Dream Man', what do you say?
Let go and we'll talk.
Lady, if you want to join us
you have to listen to me.
Of course!
I'll listen to you.
Sorry.
You have to call me Master.
Without my permission, don't talk...
or touch me. Understand?
Abbot, please let her bath and change.
So that we could continue our journey.
Junior Sha, I think she's the real princess.
She's really pretty.
You always 'judge a book by its cover'.
From her temperament, she don't looked like the real one.
Are you talking bad behind my back? I heard that.
You, be careful.
She looks real.
Monkey.
There's a resting post ahead. Let's take a rest there.
Fine.
Let's go.
Please.
Where is Tang Empire?
It's on the South of China.
It's as far as the horizon.
Prime minister, I wonder how old is this country?
This is Great Sindhu (India).
Since founded, it's about 500 years old.
The current king is known as King Yi Zhong.
He's been on the throne for 28 years.
I need to see him to get my travel papers.
When will he be in court?
This is just the right time. Our princess is 20 years old now.
And she is selecting her husband by throwing ribbon ball.
You...
What did you say?!
How could she do that on my behalf?
- She's too... - You...
Yes, what has this got to do with us?
Today, we had a busy day and our King is still in court.
If you want your travel approval, today is the best time.
Please help us to arrange for lodging.
We should dress up before seeking the King's audience.
Please, this way.
Yes.
Hurry. Go.
Please.
What's the rush for?
Please rest here.
I'll be leaving now.
The princess is selecting her husband.
Whoever got the ribbon ball will be successful overnight.
Even his relatives will benefit.
When that happens, they can eat anything they want.
Drink whatever they want.
And do... whatever they want.
Idiot, talking nonsense again?!
You prefer this country to be lawless?
What did I say?
All countries, be it Tang empire or those smaller countries,
they are all the same.
Listen at yourself now,
you sounded like you have suffered a lot.
Who forced you to protect Master?
Be quiet. Both of you.
I'm the real princess.
What's this princess you are talking about?
Lady, is there only one princess in Sindhu?
Yes! My parents only has one precious daughter.
That princess must be a fake!
I have to go take a look.
And see who dares to impersonate me.
Get out of my way!
Do you have any proof of your princess identity?
We still don't believe in you yet.
You!
Even if you are real and the one in the palace is a fake.
She will kill you if she sees you.
Master, a princess lives in the palace
with lots of people serving her.
She can't leave the palace easily.
Unlike you, a homeless girl.
What proof do you have?
But I can't just watch an impostor choose a husband for me.
She didn't ask you to enter the nuptial room for her.
Why are you worried?
You!
Wukong...
Missy, if you cannot keep your promise with me.
I can ask Wukong to send you to your 'jail' again.
I just need a somersault and you will return to your 'jail'.
Don't hit me.
Stop arguing.
- Wujing, let's pack. We'll see the king. - Yes, Master.
Master, I'll go with you.
Good, Wukong.
Why?
You always get the good tasks.
Second senior, you shouldn't be showing your face around.
Let Big senior go.
What's wrong with my face?!
Among the few of us other than Master...
And also other than Brother monkey...
we cannot comment on each other's look.
You're uglier than I am.
Master, see there. It's so crowded.
It's starting. Let's hurry.
My mother also got married through throwing a ribbon ball.
They always said that custom will change 10 miles.
But 10,000 miles away in Sindhu. Here,
they have the same custom.
Master, let's go watch too.
If we go, we will be mocked.
Let's see the King and get our travel approval.
Master, have you forgotten the words of Bujin Temple abbot?
We shall check whether the princess is real or fake.
Today, it's the princess's red day.
The King will not be working as well.
Let's join in the fun too.
Master, let's go.
Let's go.
How could you hit... hit people?!
What are you doing?!
How could you hit people?!
What you're doing?!
What did we do to you?!
I'm so upset and anxious.
Why didn't you feel anything?
Let me tell you. I, princess Palou will marry no one else...
but my 'Dream Man'.
And he's your Master, Tripitaka!
Let me tell you. Whether you are a princess or a lunatic.
Don't think about that.
Alright. As the princess of this country.
I can order anyone to cease being a monk.
Or else, I can ask my father to stop you from leaving.
Don't think that you could go to the west anymore.
But you're a princess not some demoness,
why would you want to marry my Master?
Because I've dreamed of him since I was little.
And I've drew a painting of him.
But in my dream, he was not a monk.
He had a set of beautiful long hair.
He had on a golden robe.
He was very handsome.
I'm certain he's either my lover or my husband in the past life.
That's impossible.
Definitely impossible.
My Master has been a good man for 10 lifetimes.
And he's been practicing his Way for every lifetime.
And mostly he was bald in each life.
My Master never touches females.
That's why all those demoness wanted to marry my Master.
They wanted my Master's virgin body.
You've got the wrong person.
You're talking rubbish!
He's my 'Dream Man', Let me tell you this...
I was born to marry him!
If you say it again... I'll...
I'll hit you to death, Zhu Bajie.
Murder!
I'll hit you to death!
Junior Sha, help me!
Murder!
I'll hit you to death!
Are you done?
We could send you back to Bujin Temple now.
And you'll die of old age there.
What's this princess temper?
Good brother...
I'll be good.
Please take me to see the event.
Let me see who's impersonating myself.
If I returned one day and I don't like the husband.
What should I do?
But Master told us not to make any trouble.
We can't leave here.
Fine. If you don't go...
...I'll go by myself.
Do you think we can't stop you from leaving?
Want to leave here? Just try it.
That's right. Try and see.
Junior Sha, what's she doing?
Looks like...
Fire!
Put out the fire!
Master's Buddhism books.
Second sect brother, hurry!
Don't you see I'm doing it?!
Master's Buddhism books. Hurry!
Put out the fire!
Master...
...look.
So how? Is there demonic aura?
Not much.
It depends on the demoness herself.
Like that centipede demon,
he wanted to be good so there's no demonic aura.
But due to his desire for love,
he has a black patch in his stomach.
That means the princess maybe fake but she's human.
That's not for certain, Master.
We have to see her in order to know.
Wukong, come with me to take a look.
Monk, why aren't you in your temple?
Are you trying to be the Princess's husband?
Look at yourself, monkey faced.
Even if you got the ball, the Princess will still reject you.
You two should just leave.
Leave...
Why is the monk here?
Let's leave.
I got it! I got it!
Look, a monk caught it.
Look at this monk and what he did.
Wukong, save me.
Wukong, hurry and save me.
- Master. - You, monkey.
- Diya. - Yes.
Yes.
Master, look.
Our respect to honorable one. Please come with us.
It's all your fault.
What should I do?
It's not my fault.
It's fated that the ball landed on you.
It's fate, not me.
Master, just go with them.
I'll go tell Bajie and Monk Sha about this.
It's alright if the princess allows you...
to leave with your travel approval.
If she insisted, tell the King that you need your disciples.
It's better to be cautious.
Don't leave me by myself.
We are already near our destination,
I won't go away even if you want me to.
Wukong.
Our respect to honorable one. Please come with us
This...
Honorable one.
Princess.
This is our country's custom, please follow.
This...
Majesty, the princess found her future husband.
Good, what kind of man is he?
She selected a monk with her ball.
They are waiting outside the palace gate now.
Why choose a monk?
Alright, send them in.
- Go. - Yes.
Since it's a monk, she may reselect again.
The princess has selected that monk.
She must be interested in him.
Yes, it's rare that she's been nice this year.
Let her have her way.
All of you are scared of her, right?
It's all my fault for failing to teach her well.
Even I am scared of her.
Your Majesty, you aren't scared of her.
It's because you loved her too much.
Luckily our princess has grown up for the past year.
She has become a good princess.
Here comes the Princess and the Honorable one.
Please.
My respect to Father.
Amitabha.
Princess, be at ease.
Let me take a good look at this monk.
Thank you, royal father.
Monk, where are you from?
Why was you hit by Princess's ball?
I was on my way to the West paradise...
on Tang Emperor's Imperial edict.
I'm here to get my travel approval.
I was passing by and was hit by princess's ball.
I'm a monk, how could I marry the princess?
Please spare me my crime and let me continue my journey.
I thank your graciousness.
Since you are a Sage monk from Eastern Land,
this is a match made in Heaven.
The princess is 20 years old and still single.
Today is a good day to select a husband.
And you got that ball.
I didn't want to acknowledge this marriage too.
Father, a woman should always follow her husband.
I made a wish to Heaven before throwing the ball.
It must be fated for me to hit Sage monk.
How could we change our minds?
I'm willing to marry him.
I could govern the country but not you.
Ask the Astrology to select a good day...
for Princess's wedding.
And also announce this news to the whole country.
Wait, I cannot comply to your order.
How dare you! I'm the King, why can't you be my son-in-law?
You only wanted the Sutras?
If you refuse, I will kill the officer-in-charge.
I thanked your Majesty for your goodwill.
There's 4 of us altogether.
My 3 disciples are still outside.
Please send for them and let them have the travel approval.
Alright, I shall follow your will.
Send the message down.
It can't be.
Which demon did this?!
Demon?
It's this demon.
Elder sect brother, it's like this.
Luckily Master wore his cassock...
and took the important travel documents.
Only the old clothes and some Sutras were burnt.
It's ok to lose the clothes and...
Master could rewrite the Sutras again.
Are you anxious to know who did
the princess pick for her future husband?
I know. It's my 'Dream Man'.
She's shameless.
I have to kill her.
Let me go.
Let me kill that shameless slut.
Let me go.
Have a banana.
Let me go!
St... stop playing.
It's because you refused to listen to my idea.
If I rushed to the event in time...
and the princess hit me.
I will rise in status and become the princess's husband.
All of you could quit being monks and follow me around.
That will be a good life.
How shameless can you get?
You have overrated yourself.
If you were hit., they will quickly reject you.
Who dares to marry you, unlucky thing?
You... you silly Monk Sha.
What do you know?
Yes, I'm a bit ugly.
What do you know?
Idiot, stop talking nonsense.
Hurry and pack. Let's go protect Master in the palace.
Master is going to become the princess's husband.
The princess is with him now.
He's having the best of his time now.
He's not subduing demons, why must you protect him?
You lustful pig!
Did Master wanted to do that?
Monkey.
You went with your Master.
Did you see the princess?
Coincidentally, I didn't see what she looks like.
I think this matter is strange too.
All of them think that she is the real princess.
If she is a fake, why can't your parent see?
That's impossible.
I don't believe it!
You don't have a choice.
If a demon wants to look like a human, she can only be 30%.
How could she be like you totally?
When I'm pretending to be Bull Demon King,
Red child could see through my trick easily.
Why can't your parent see the truth?
That's not necessary.
They are just humans and have never seen demons.
That's why they can't differentiate the fake.
So, if you could bring me into the palace.
My parent could identify me.
Are you serious?
If they think that you are the fake, you will die.
Why do you think she's fake?
You should be the one who thinks she's real.
Why?
You said that the rich always bully others.
Look at her. She is a big bully.
And she burned our stuff.
She is like those rich people.
It's possible that she's the real princess.
That sounds reasonable, she could be real.
Crap, I'm the real princess.
If you didn't serve me well.
I will make you pay for this.
Alright, that's great.
I'll take you to the palace.
Really?
His Majesty ordered me to take all of you to the palace.
But there's four of you?
He's Master's newest disciple. He must have forgotten.
We tied him up because he's naughty.
Please tell them it's four of us.
- Go. - Yes.
Don't go, I'm...
Silence.
Princess, let me tell you.
I'm just muting your voice for now.
If you creates more trouble, I will freeze you.
No wonder Bujin temple wants to lock you up.
Our respects to you, Your Majesty.
I thought you only have 3 disciples, why the extra one?
This is his newest disciple from Sindhu.
Isn't that right, Master?
Yes.
I'm too used to having 3 disciples.
I've checked the astrology.
The 12th day of this month is a red day.
What's the day today?
It's the 8th day.
We can have the wedding in 4 days.
Alright. Clean the garden and...
invite his disciples to rest there.
We shall have the wedding as planned.
Junior Sha, this place is really big.
Let's go, Master.
Look at these shiny things.
This is good. Look at this...
Bajie.
I'm coming.
Sorry about that.
Master.
No wonder its known as Liu Chun room.
It's for honorable guest.
Please take a rest.
Apples?
There's so much space.
Junior Sha, eat this.
There's no outsiders here.
You can talk now.
Master, I jinx her to stop her from talking nonsense.
Help her to remove that jinx.
Yes.
Release.
In my dreams...
You... I...
Master, I'm finally back.
I must show you the painting...
to prove myself.
Stop... you cannot do that.
I can tell whether the princess here is a fake or not.
Right, my big senior could do that.
He can tell whether you are human or demoness.
That's right. Just stay here.
If not, I will even hit the Emperor.
Who cares about you, 'Princess'?
Will kill you.
Master, we could see the Princess anytime.
Let me go out for a while.
I will kill you.
Kill you!
Greetings, Elder.
His Majesty wants to tour the garden with you.
Alright, I will there.
- This tastes good. - Yes.
Bajie. Wujing.
Yes, Master.
I will be out now. Stop eating and watch her well.
Master, don't worry.
If she's up to mischief, I will not let her off.
That's right, Master. Don't worry.
We will not lose her.
Wujing, watch over Bajie.
Yes.
Hey, stop eating. Master doesn't want you to eat anymore.
Where do you think you're going?
Where to?
I haven't been home for a year.
Can't I take a look around?
No.
Do you think I can escape with both of you around me?
No.
You... you...
My respects to you, your Majesty.
Your Majesty, I've come from afar to your country.
I've never met the princess.
I'm worried that we cannot get along in future.
Please tell me more about the princess.
There's a reason why she choose you as her husband.
She has dream of a man since young and drew his portrait.
He looks exactly like you.
There's amazing.
There's more.
She changed drastically for the last 1 year.
What do you mean?
She was spoil since young and has a bad temper.
If she don't like the food, she will overturn the table.
If she's angry, she could burn down the house.
What a temper.
When she's unhappy, she will even hit her mother.
And me too.
She even bullies those court officers...
and hits them.
There's a worse incident...
Her royal maid said the word "rabbit" by mistake.
She disfigured that palace maid with a hairpin.
Why can't she hear the word 'rabbit'?
No one knows.
She's not scared of anything since young except rabbits.
Not to mention seeing one, she cannot even hear the word.
No one dares to say that word in the palace.
That's the most important thing I must remind you.
Hope you don't make this mistake.
She has a overpowering aura.
I always thought that she's here to torture us.
My poor Queen was sick due to princess.
She almost lost her life over it.
What happened next that changed her attitude?
When she turned 15, she tend to escape the palace.
She even drugged the palace maids.
When we found her, she will hurt herself...
and seeks death.
Last year, she suddenly disappeared one night.
The royal maid said she's enjoying
the flowers under the moonlight.
We thought she escaped the palace again.
But she didn't escape the palace.
No.
She's loitering at a temple outside the palace.
She claimed to be there to offer an incense to Earth Deity.
She question our anxiety.
And then, a miracle happened.
From then on, her attitude totally changed.
How did she changed?
Maybe our prayers touched Heaven.
Our daughter becomes a real princess.
Amitabha.
My respects to Mother.
Palou, come over quickly.
Yes.
I have some question for you.
I heard that you wanted a monk as your husband.
I finally found the man in the portrait.
Hope you don't mind him.
As royalties, we don't lack anything.
As long as you are happy with him.
Diya, bring me the medicine.
Yes.
That's just nice.
I'll hear what they say.
Mother, I personally prepared this for you.
You are busy today, why bother with this?
I don't need these anymore.
These are prepared based on the 4 seasons.
It's ok to miss a day's dosage.
But it will work best if you take them regularly.
Your Majesty, please drink it.
It's Princess's sincerity.
Okay.
