WEBVTT
00:26.464 --> 00:29.467
Your Majesty, Prince Iksang has arrived.
00:31.803 --> 00:33.513
Has his son come as well?
00:34.722 --> 00:35.807
Yes, Your Majesty.
00:38.393 --> 00:40.562
How is Prince Yeongan's health?
00:40.645 --> 00:42.063
There has been no improvement,
00:42.647 --> 00:45.108
so he will not be able to attend
at this time.
00:52.657 --> 00:54.868
- You may leave.
- Yes.
00:59.080 --> 01:02.709
It seems that Gu-cheon
has failed his part, Your Majesty.
01:05.503 --> 01:07.255
I've heard people say
01:08.214 --> 01:11.551
the reason I am able to sit on this throne
is due to spirits.
01:12.510 --> 01:14.095
Now they mock me,
01:15.471 --> 01:19.392
saying that my position
will be threatened because of spirits.
01:21.269 --> 01:23.313
Which do you believe to be true?
01:39.329 --> 01:42.332
We will know which one when we get there.
01:45.960 --> 01:50.048
Kneel before the honored guest,
straighten yourself,
01:50.131 --> 01:53.509
and perform the four ceremonial bows.
01:59.015 --> 02:00.642
Bow.
02:01.184 --> 02:03.478
Straighten.
02:03.561 --> 02:05.647
Bow.
02:06.356 --> 02:08.900
Straighten.
02:09.442 --> 02:11.653
Bow.
02:11.736 --> 02:14.155
Straighten.
02:24.082 --> 02:27.168
Next, the Crown Prince
would present a ceremonial drink,
02:27.252 --> 02:29.462
praying for your long life
without illness.
02:29.963 --> 02:33.549
However, as the seat is vacant,
I suggest you omit it.
02:33.633 --> 02:35.093
No. That's enough.
02:37.136 --> 02:39.055
This tired and old body
02:39.722 --> 02:43.142
cannot be certain any longer
of another birthday to come.
02:44.143 --> 02:47.146
And what do you think of that,
Your Majesty?
02:51.234 --> 02:53.611
Then you must do as you wish, Mother.
03:04.205 --> 03:07.792
Prince Iksang's eldest son,
will you step forward right now?
03:08.376 --> 03:10.461
Prince Iksang, congratulations.
03:40.241 --> 03:42.910
This is the drink
presented by Prince Inha.
03:43.494 --> 03:47.040
Your Royal Highness,
I pray for your well-being.
04:07.352 --> 04:08.686
What is happening?
04:56.401 --> 04:58.820
I can tell
that something has arrived here.
05:27.974 --> 05:28.891
All right.
05:30.726 --> 05:33.396
I knew that if I drove you far enough,
05:34.188 --> 05:36.816
you would come to me with that resentment.
05:38.401 --> 05:39.610
Now,
05:40.611 --> 05:42.155
what will you do?
06:02.675 --> 06:04.051
Gu-cheon!
06:15.938 --> 06:17.482
Get a hold of yourself!
06:18.941 --> 06:20.193
You'll become an ak-gwi.
06:20.276 --> 06:22.445
If you kill,
that's what's going to happen to you.
06:27.617 --> 06:29.785
You said that becoming
an ak-gwi after death
06:30.745 --> 06:32.663
was what you feared more than anything.
06:38.419 --> 06:39.420
Gu-cheon!
06:40.296 --> 06:42.673
Your mother's death was not your fault.
You must believe that.
06:48.346 --> 06:50.723
You were possessed by the gwi-mae.
06:52.433 --> 06:54.602
If you still won't trust me,
06:55.478 --> 06:57.271
then I'll get to the bottom of this.
06:58.356 --> 06:59.732
The second we can leave the palace,
06:59.815 --> 07:01.984
I will go find your mother's grave
so we can uncover the…
07:11.077 --> 07:12.119
Please, Gu-cheon.
07:13.579 --> 07:15.957
Let us make it out of the palace alive.
08:00.209 --> 08:05.131
THE EAST PALACE
08:22.189 --> 08:23.441
What is wrong with him?
08:23.941 --> 08:26.611
What happened to him? Come on. Wake up!
08:27.111 --> 08:28.779
Send for the physician!
08:28.863 --> 08:30.573
Summon the physician now!
08:31.073 --> 08:32.241
Your Majesty.
08:36.579 --> 08:38.831
This child is a little flawed.
08:43.377 --> 08:46.297
You must be disappointed
with what you're observing, Mother.
08:47.965 --> 08:49.800
In such a frail state,
08:50.343 --> 08:54.347
how could he ever endure
the palace's energy?
08:58.559 --> 09:02.146
I must say you need improving
when reading others, Mother.
09:03.898 --> 09:06.025
Resume the banquet at once.
09:06.108 --> 09:08.653
Carry on the music!
09:08.736 --> 09:11.656
What are you standing around for?
Attend to Prince Inha at once!
09:49.235 --> 09:50.611
No, no.
10:02.081 --> 10:03.082
Princess.
10:03.999 --> 10:05.042
Princess!
10:27.481 --> 10:28.649
Have you lost your mind?
10:29.483 --> 10:31.485
I told you to never set foot in there.
10:32.486 --> 10:34.405
You've never listened to me once.
10:35.698 --> 10:37.366
I saved you, and this is the thanks I get.
10:38.409 --> 10:42.538
Am I supposed to do nothing and just
stand by and watch you become a gwi-sin?
10:42.621 --> 10:44.373
You are never
to do something like that again,
10:44.457 --> 10:46.208
whether I am a spirit or not.
10:47.501 --> 10:50.629
I never want to see someone die
because of me again.
11:06.854 --> 11:08.147
I will never do it again
11:09.190 --> 11:10.816
if you truly cannot bear it.
11:12.276 --> 11:13.444
I, too,
11:15.070 --> 11:17.239
cannot convince myself to go in again.
11:18.032 --> 11:19.617
I was terrified.
11:22.995 --> 11:24.705
It must have been very difficult for you,
11:26.624 --> 11:28.584
having spent all that time in there.
12:13.712 --> 12:15.714
Everyone who carries
the King's blood is mad.
12:15.798 --> 12:18.133
There are no such things as spirits.
12:19.301 --> 12:20.344
Mother.
12:20.845 --> 12:22.680
There are no spirits.
12:24.557 --> 12:26.100
There are no spirits.
12:28.352 --> 12:29.478
Mother?
12:31.230 --> 12:33.357
Your father is the palace entity.
12:58.674 --> 12:59.508
How are you?
13:04.555 --> 13:07.057
What are you doing out there?
13:07.141 --> 13:09.351
How is it? Your fever?
13:11.186 --> 13:13.314
Why would you
open the window without asking?
13:16.233 --> 13:18.027
At least you still have your temper.
13:25.242 --> 13:26.744
Miss Saeng-gang, you're awake!
13:27.786 --> 13:29.288
How are you feeling now?
13:29.788 --> 13:31.957
What in the world is going on?
13:34.793 --> 13:36.003
I thought Gu-cheon was dead.
13:36.086 --> 13:38.047
Now he's talking to you
and walking around.
13:38.130 --> 13:40.966
And you, who are perfectly fine,
slept for three days and nights.
13:41.050 --> 13:42.968
I mean, you basically slept like the dead.
13:43.552 --> 13:44.762
It was three days?
13:44.845 --> 13:46.597
Yes! Have this first.
13:46.680 --> 13:49.558
I had to beg the female royal physician
to brew this medicine,
13:49.642 --> 13:51.977
and I snuck some rice cakes
to bring to you here.
13:52.061 --> 13:54.355
You haven't eaten one thing
for three days.
13:55.189 --> 13:56.857
Here, please have these.
13:58.400 --> 13:59.652
I appreciate it.
14:08.160 --> 14:11.038
But, um, why did you bring me
so many rice cakes?
14:12.164 --> 14:13.707
It's Gu-cheon.
14:13.791 --> 14:16.168
I brought some for him also.
14:16.251 --> 14:17.378
But he just left.
14:17.461 --> 14:20.297
He must have terrible luck with food.
Is he not even hungry?
14:20.381 --> 14:21.840
He has not eaten for three days.
14:26.637 --> 14:27.513
Mmm.
14:36.689 --> 14:39.692
After three days without food,
it tastes better.
14:40.943 --> 14:41.860
Do you want some?
14:45.364 --> 14:47.116
I don't have an appetite.
14:47.199 --> 14:48.659
Please help yourself.
14:52.121 --> 14:53.330
You should eat too.
14:55.249 --> 14:56.709
You cannot work without it.
14:57.668 --> 14:59.628
I found something at the guard's house.
15:00.546 --> 15:02.548
I will handle all of that.
15:02.631 --> 15:05.092
You needn't be concerned, Your Highness.
15:05.926 --> 15:07.136
"Your Highness"?
15:08.721 --> 15:09.555
What?
15:10.347 --> 15:11.181
What?
15:14.810 --> 15:16.061
You have changed somehow.
15:28.115 --> 15:29.324
So, anyway,
15:30.117 --> 15:32.202
tell me what you have found at the house.
15:33.912 --> 15:37.416
I found what the Favored Court Lady
made for the child she was carrying.
15:41.462 --> 15:43.881
Do you think
this could ease her resentment?
15:45.466 --> 15:49.803
It might be possible,
but the preparation will be complicated.
15:50.512 --> 15:52.389
Her spirit is not ordinary.
15:53.265 --> 15:55.893
She killed people
for 30 years as a won-gwi.
15:58.062 --> 16:01.315
Oh! The lightning-struck jujube wood.
Where did you get that?
16:02.274 --> 16:05.944
Ah! The jujube tree
inside the palace was struck by lightning.
16:06.612 --> 16:08.739
- Oh.
- Was that branch helpful at all?
16:10.491 --> 16:13.827
It helped a great deal having that wood,
and it will continue to help.
16:14.328 --> 16:15.621
Well,
16:16.371 --> 16:18.791
I believe I have helped
in more ways than one.
16:19.291 --> 16:21.418
The least you could do is say thank you.
16:21.502 --> 16:25.631
You know, the second you brag,
it makes all of your goodwill disappear?
16:25.714 --> 16:27.674
And how is that bragging?
16:27.758 --> 16:30.052
It is simply the praise I am owed.
16:30.594 --> 16:32.596
I nearly died
dealing with your family's mess,
16:32.679 --> 16:34.139
and you want my thanks and praise?
16:34.932 --> 16:36.517
What? You want recognition that badly?
16:41.939 --> 16:42.981
Forget it.
16:44.316 --> 16:46.860
Fine. I do not need your thanks.
16:46.944 --> 16:48.987
But you should be thanking
the Ggeomeoksali.
16:50.447 --> 16:52.908
The gwi-mae had you in the well,
and it saved you.
16:54.076 --> 16:54.993
That saved me?
16:55.077 --> 16:57.704
I did wonder why
I had not seen it roaming around here.
16:57.788 --> 16:59.873
It fell into the well
while helping fight the gwi-mae.
17:00.707 --> 17:01.959
How sad.
17:02.042 --> 17:03.252
Good riddance.
17:06.547 --> 17:07.965
Don't be cold about it!
17:08.048 --> 17:11.844
I don't make stupid decisions
like getting attached to it like you do.
17:12.344 --> 17:14.972
Let's just focus on the pond spirit
and how to get rid of it.
17:27.192 --> 17:28.569
Is something wrong?
17:28.652 --> 17:29.611
The truth is…
17:34.908 --> 17:38.996
…when I crossed over to the other side,
I came face-to-face with the pond spirit.
17:41.582 --> 17:44.334
It clawed my back
and drained my spiritual energy.
17:45.878 --> 17:48.881
But I was able to come back
because you pulled the rope just in time.
17:52.217 --> 17:53.468
It clawed you?
18:03.979 --> 18:05.147
What's the matter?
18:08.609 --> 18:09.526
Uh…
18:12.487 --> 18:14.948
The spirit
that consumed your soul down there…
18:17.618 --> 18:19.703
has likely begun
to regain its strength from it.
18:20.913 --> 18:24.875
The curse that had briefly weakened
will grow stronger again.
18:25.751 --> 18:26.919
Your Majesty.
18:27.544 --> 18:29.588
The royal physician
attending Prince Yeongan
18:29.671 --> 18:32.883
says you must prepare
yourself for what is to come.
18:45.896 --> 18:47.064
Why?
18:57.449 --> 19:01.828
Is confronting the spirit
impulsively like this truly wise?
19:03.080 --> 19:06.917
I believe Prince Yeongan won't make it
through the night, most likely.
19:07.417 --> 19:10.462
He's reached his limit
after enduring the curse for so long.
19:11.797 --> 19:13.465
We cannot waste more time.
19:17.469 --> 19:18.679
Sh!
19:20.639 --> 19:21.723
Can you hear it?
19:22.349 --> 19:23.350
That sound?
19:39.032 --> 19:40.325
Be careful, please.
19:42.327 --> 19:45.247
I am not saving someone
who will not say thank you.
19:45.330 --> 19:46.748
You're still on that?
20:28.040 --> 20:29.333
My baby.
20:45.682 --> 20:48.477
You know how to shoot a bow?
20:48.560 --> 20:51.271
Everyone tried to stop me
because I'm a princess,
20:51.355 --> 20:53.607
but I stubbornly insisted
my father teach me.
20:53.690 --> 20:55.942
So you have been peculiar
since you were little.
20:56.651 --> 20:59.571
I will spin thread from the shirt
made by the Favored Court Lady,
20:59.654 --> 21:01.239
and stain it with my blood.
21:02.032 --> 21:04.743
If you wrap this thread
around an arrow and hit the spirit,
21:04.826 --> 21:06.578
it can weaken its resentment.
21:07.829 --> 21:09.081
Here.
21:11.458 --> 21:15.087
When the baby's crying stops,
that is when you shoot.
21:17.631 --> 21:20.884
We must release the resentment born
of being falsely accused,
21:20.967 --> 21:23.303
as well as the grief of losing her child.
22:00.799 --> 22:02.467
Killing those of royal blood
22:02.968 --> 22:04.594
will not bring you your child back to you.
22:05.178 --> 22:08.974
So release your resentment now,
and go to the afterlife.
22:09.057 --> 22:12.519
Free yourself
from this hell of a palace, now!
22:48.847 --> 22:51.766
Your Royal Highness,
Prince Yeongan has awakened.
22:51.850 --> 22:53.226
What?
22:55.270 --> 22:57.647
Are you saying
he's shown signs of improvement?
22:57.731 --> 23:01.610
Not merely signs of improvement.
He is said to have recovered completely.
23:01.693 --> 23:04.696
It seems that the feng shui master
His Majesty had brought in
23:04.779 --> 23:06.823
has eliminated the pond spirit.
23:10.160 --> 23:11.328
Your Majesty.
23:17.083 --> 23:19.961
Father. I am better, Father.
23:25.509 --> 23:26.551
You are.
23:35.227 --> 23:39.523
So he finally put an end
to the curse that lasted 30 years?
23:43.818 --> 23:44.861
But…
23:47.739 --> 23:49.658
that feng shui master…
23:50.742 --> 23:53.537
How did he prove
that the pond spirit is gone?
23:55.038 --> 23:57.332
I am not sure, Your Royal Highness.
23:57.415 --> 23:59.543
In the process of eliminating the spirit,
23:59.626 --> 24:03.380
he must have learned
what the spirit's true identity was,
24:04.714 --> 24:06.633
and now that man knows the secret.
24:06.716 --> 24:10.136
He knows the truth behind how
that lowly wench turned into a won-gwi.
24:11.137 --> 24:14.474
That man must be silenced at once.
24:21.940 --> 24:24.442
The pond spirit
has finally been eliminated, Father.
24:26.695 --> 24:27.737
Yes.
24:29.781 --> 24:31.408
It does seem that way.
24:31.491 --> 24:33.702
I have now completed your orders.
24:34.202 --> 24:36.121
So I am entitled to a reward.
24:44.462 --> 24:45.672
Before that…
25:03.815 --> 25:04.941
Father.
25:05.817 --> 25:07.485
The palace frightens me.
25:07.569 --> 25:08.778
Frightens you?
25:08.862 --> 25:11.698
And who would ever dare
to frighten a princess?
25:12.824 --> 25:15.660
I keep hearing
strange sounds everywhere I go.
25:17.996 --> 25:19.998
Saeng-gang, come over here.
25:22.334 --> 25:24.544
Here. Carry this with you.
25:24.628 --> 25:27.714
And if you do, this bell will drive away
25:28.340 --> 25:30.842
all of those strange sounds
you are currently hearing.
25:39.184 --> 25:41.186
He lives because of you.
25:42.395 --> 25:43.438
Thank you.
25:48.777 --> 25:51.613
I did not do this
to be praised like a child by you.
25:54.783 --> 25:55.784
Very well.
25:57.369 --> 25:59.329
Then the reward you desire.
25:59.913 --> 26:01.122
What would you like?
26:01.206 --> 26:03.541
Allow Gu-cheon the honor
of leaving the palace immediately.
26:05.085 --> 26:06.670
Of course I will allow it. Yes.
26:06.753 --> 26:08.129
And do not harm him at all.
26:08.963 --> 26:11.841
That is my humble request to you,
Your Majesty.
26:21.601 --> 26:23.687
Why are you not packing your things?
26:24.229 --> 26:27.315
I, uh, have nothing worth packing.
26:27.399 --> 26:29.025
I only need the jujube wood.
26:33.405 --> 26:36.658
For someone leaving the palace,
you do not look very cheerful.
26:37.701 --> 26:38.785
It's just…
26:41.454 --> 26:43.248
Something feels wrong.
26:44.833 --> 26:46.000
What do you mean?
26:46.710 --> 26:48.837
Has Prince Yeongan truly recovered?
26:48.920 --> 26:50.255
Is he completely well?
26:50.797 --> 26:52.340
That is what I was told.
26:53.383 --> 26:55.844
How about your wound? How is that?
26:57.095 --> 26:58.763
The pain is gone at least.
27:00.306 --> 27:01.433
What is the matter?
27:03.143 --> 27:05.812
It should not have been destroyed
so easily.
27:06.521 --> 27:08.440
It was a won-gwi
that had killed the princes
27:08.523 --> 27:10.275
of the East Palace for 30 years.
27:10.358 --> 27:13.737
Four of the late King's sons,
and three of the present king's sons.
27:14.612 --> 27:16.614
For a won-gwi that killed seven,
27:17.741 --> 27:19.701
its power was far too weak.
27:21.536 --> 27:23.079
Are you really sure
27:24.873 --> 27:27.417
that the princes
were killed by the pond spirit alone?
27:28.042 --> 27:31.880
If it wasn't the actions of the spirit,
what's responsible?
27:36.050 --> 27:36.968
I don't know.
27:37.927 --> 27:40.430
I mean, I thought
it would be a life-or-death struggle.
27:42.182 --> 27:45.310
But seeing how easily
it was resolved is making me doubtful.
27:46.561 --> 27:47.771
I must be out of my mind.
27:47.854 --> 27:49.689
Completely out of my mind.
27:50.982 --> 27:54.194
Since you are departing,
will you go to the temple?
27:54.277 --> 27:55.904
As if I would.
27:56.613 --> 27:58.823
I'm honestly
still thinking about where to go.
28:00.742 --> 28:02.410
And what will you do, Your Highness?
28:02.494 --> 28:04.829
Have you found the one responsible
for your mother's death?
28:08.625 --> 28:10.502
There is just one person it could be.
28:33.107 --> 28:37.153
Are you not the daughter
of the banished Third Senior Consort Han?
28:37.237 --> 28:39.572
What brings you all the way here?
28:40.198 --> 28:42.700
I have brought a gift
to celebrate Your Majesty,
28:42.784 --> 28:44.410
for your 70th birthday.
28:45.787 --> 28:48.456
It's quite modest
compared to the other offerings.
28:49.290 --> 28:51.543
You came all this way for nothing, then.
28:53.044 --> 28:56.756
I never once permitted you
to enter the palace.
28:56.840 --> 28:58.883
It was Father that granted permission.
28:58.967 --> 29:02.512
If that's true,
he did so without my consultation?
29:02.595 --> 29:05.348
Your mother was sent away
for committing a crime.
29:05.431 --> 29:07.100
You mean you framed my mother
29:07.183 --> 29:09.269
and drove her out
to cover up the court maid incident
29:09.352 --> 29:10.436
in the salt storehouse.
29:10.520 --> 29:13.147
Because you feared
that if that incident were to be revealed,
29:13.231 --> 29:15.775
the death of the Favored Court Lady
would come to light.
29:15.859 --> 29:17.819
It's the matter tied to the pond spirit.
29:17.902 --> 29:20.029
One Your Majesty
may wish to keep concealed.
29:26.452 --> 29:30.915
So you barge in spouting nothing
but absurd nonsense in front of me.
29:30.999 --> 29:33.001
Your mother was banished.
29:33.501 --> 29:35.879
She was banished
for burying a cursed object
29:35.962 --> 29:37.380
and because she refused to confess--
29:37.463 --> 29:39.883
Is that why
you had my mother killed back then?
29:42.552 --> 29:45.930
Was her begging my father for help
over and over before she died
29:46.472 --> 29:49.225
what brought up the fear
of exposing your buried sins?
29:50.393 --> 29:52.770
And that poor woman's curse
of the serpent's shed skin.
29:52.854 --> 29:55.440
Is it because you were raised so lowly
outside the palace,
29:55.523 --> 29:57.817
or your mother's origins perchance?
29:58.651 --> 30:00.737
You have truly lost your mind, child,
30:00.820 --> 30:04.115
sitting there,
daring to slander me with such delusions!
30:06.743 --> 30:08.411
You may open the gift.
30:18.379 --> 30:22.884
I have recreated the hangwa she received
from the palace the day before she died.
30:30.934 --> 30:33.895
Not only the taste,
but also the ingredients are the same.
30:34.729 --> 30:35.939
You may try it.
30:58.920 --> 31:02.840
Who on earth told you lies
about such a story?
31:02.924 --> 31:04.801
I had no hand in your mother's death,
31:04.884 --> 31:06.928
nor in the death
of the Favored Court Lady.
31:07.428 --> 31:10.723
How could you possibly know events
from long ago?
31:13.351 --> 31:16.980
Was it that feng shui master Gu-cheon
who told you all of this?
31:17.689 --> 31:21.651
I should have taught that bastard
the palace's lesson sooner.
31:21.734 --> 31:25.905
That those who dare to spread lies,
here within these very walls,
31:27.365 --> 31:29.033
will soon be dead.
31:36.416 --> 31:39.711
Tell me about the pond ghost
and what you've learned about it.
31:39.794 --> 31:41.004
A ghost?
31:41.504 --> 31:42.672
In a pond?
31:42.755 --> 31:45.800
Are you talking about your grandfather
who drowned in the bath?
31:50.096 --> 31:51.723
Throw him into the wooden chest.
31:59.230 --> 32:02.191
Death is the only fate for liars
in this strict palace.
32:02.275 --> 32:04.152
Just like your mother in the end.
32:04.235 --> 32:05.862
She was put to a stop.
32:08.573 --> 32:09.741
I remit
32:10.908 --> 32:12.744
those very words to you.
32:19.000 --> 32:22.420
This is the baby shirt made
by the Most Favored Lady of the Court.
32:22.920 --> 32:26.007
You gave it to the royal guard
and forced him to falsely claim
32:26.090 --> 32:27.633
the child as his own.
32:28.342 --> 32:30.219
- What is this?
- Your Royal Highness.
32:30.303 --> 32:33.765
I know the Favored Court Lady
was smeared by your lies
32:34.682 --> 32:37.852
and how you managed to have
the royal bloodline all but eliminated.
32:37.935 --> 32:40.688
The late King's bloodline, you say?
32:41.272 --> 32:43.232
That lowly maid who decided
she wanted to dance
32:43.316 --> 32:44.358
with a mere royal guard?
32:44.442 --> 32:45.568
Why go that far?
32:45.651 --> 32:48.404
Unlike the other concubines
who received the King's favor,
32:49.280 --> 32:50.573
why did you frame and kill her?
32:50.656 --> 32:51.908
Could it be that you were…
32:55.328 --> 32:56.954
jealous of a mere maid, Your Highness?
33:03.127 --> 33:04.462
Jealous?
33:11.344 --> 33:13.179
Did you say I was jealous?
33:13.763 --> 33:17.350
That I harbored jealousy
toward such a lowborn girl?
33:20.144 --> 33:22.230
She once lived as my family's servant.
33:22.313 --> 33:24.649
I was the one
who allowed her to serve in the palace
33:24.732 --> 33:28.236
as a menial labor maid,
and you think I was jealous?
33:28.319 --> 33:30.113
Is that what you're saying?
33:35.451 --> 33:40.873
Unlike you, I hail from
a noble lineage spanning generations!
33:41.457 --> 33:43.459
For years on end,
33:44.377 --> 33:47.004
I endured
the late King's scorn and neglect
33:47.088 --> 33:49.882
for failing to bear a child for him.
33:49.966 --> 33:53.219
The fact that a lowly maidservant
received His Majesty's love
33:53.302 --> 33:57.181
and could carry his child,
I could not accept it!
33:58.599 --> 34:00.476
I could allow daughters
of the noble households
34:00.560 --> 34:03.396
and their children,
but I could never allow
34:03.479 --> 34:07.233
for that lowly, feeble woman
to carry his child.
34:07.316 --> 34:12.238
She had to be eliminated
by any means necessary at all.
34:14.282 --> 34:16.659
Is that why you
made all those false claims then?
34:16.742 --> 34:18.494
Yeah!
34:18.995 --> 34:25.042
I had that slut tortured,
then I myself killed the filthy blood
34:25.126 --> 34:27.461
that continued to grow inside her!
34:32.592 --> 34:33.885
Your Majesty.
34:39.724 --> 34:41.267
I heard you clearly.
34:41.851 --> 34:45.313
Your confession
that you killed the Favored Court Lady
34:46.189 --> 34:47.690
and eliminated the King's son.
34:49.609 --> 34:51.736
What? What?
34:51.819 --> 34:54.989
I will make this public
before Father and all the other ministers.
34:57.116 --> 34:58.826
You stated to me earlier
34:58.910 --> 35:02.163
that liars meet
their timely death in the palace.
35:03.956 --> 35:06.542
Tell me, Your Royal Highness,
35:07.210 --> 35:09.170
what would death mean to you?
35:09.253 --> 35:12.381
It would be losing the palace
and everything that defines you.
35:15.092 --> 35:17.136
The home you have lived in all your life.
35:17.220 --> 35:19.931
The power you've enjoyed for many years.
35:20.765 --> 35:22.016
I'll make sure it's all gone.
35:23.601 --> 35:24.727
Your Majesty.
35:25.978 --> 35:29.732
And what could someone like you
35:29.815 --> 35:31.734
possibly do?
35:32.360 --> 35:37.240
Who would ever believe the words
of a lowborn expelled from the palace?
35:37.323 --> 35:38.449
Who?!
35:40.368 --> 35:41.619
That much I know.
35:43.204 --> 35:45.206
Who would listen to the mere words
35:45.831 --> 35:47.124
of the lost princess?
35:56.592 --> 36:00.930
Your Majesty, I believe your voice
was loud enough for everyone to hear.
36:02.473 --> 36:03.391
Now,
36:05.142 --> 36:06.519
the time has come
36:07.019 --> 36:10.398
for you to kill these women
the same as you did before.
36:13.818 --> 36:15.903
You will need a lot of jars
for their bones.
36:17.280 --> 36:18.364
Let us go.
36:33.546 --> 36:35.172
Your Majesty!
36:35.715 --> 36:37.466
Your Majesty!
36:43.806 --> 36:45.975
I cannot keep
my eyes off you for a second.
36:46.058 --> 36:48.269
Why are you lying in there,
beaten to a pulp?
36:59.530 --> 37:02.074
What trouble did you cause today
37:02.616 --> 37:05.077
to make Her Majesty want you dead?
37:06.871 --> 37:08.789
Was it not ordered by the King?
37:09.498 --> 37:12.293
To see if I'm capable
of keeping my mouth shut or not?
37:14.420 --> 37:15.921
Since you believe that,
37:16.505 --> 37:19.175
it would be pointless
to mention that is not true.
37:22.803 --> 37:24.638
Then why do you spare me?
37:27.016 --> 37:31.395
The princess earnestly… pleaded
with His Majesty
37:31.479 --> 37:33.439
to let you leave the palace unscathed.
37:34.648 --> 37:37.234
She must have foreseen
something like this.
37:45.284 --> 37:46.869
This is your pass to leave the palace.
37:49.872 --> 37:51.457
And your compensation.
37:53.542 --> 37:55.044
Watch your mouth out there.
37:55.127 --> 37:58.297
All eight provinces of Joseon
lie in the hand of His Majesty.
38:23.072 --> 38:25.408
They do not let me go easily.
38:28.536 --> 38:30.454
Still, it's over now.
38:35.334 --> 38:36.293
Ah…
39:06.824 --> 39:08.242
I saw nothing.
39:08.325 --> 39:10.327
Nothing at all. I did not see anything.
39:18.627 --> 39:19.503
Ah no!
39:32.850 --> 39:34.977
Whoa, whoa.
39:41.984 --> 39:44.904
I have repaid the debt
I owed you for saving me.
39:46.238 --> 39:47.239
So take care.
40:09.220 --> 40:11.430
I'll give you a bit of my yang energy.
40:12.097 --> 40:14.225
Just enough for your body to recover.
40:21.815 --> 40:22.816
Get off!
40:22.900 --> 40:23.984
Let go!
40:24.068 --> 40:26.278
Don't take too much, damn it.
That's enough!
40:53.138 --> 40:54.515
You do not look well.
40:55.849 --> 40:56.892
Perhaps you are ill?
40:58.185 --> 41:02.273
It's been hard on me, I think,
working alongside Gu-cheon lately.
41:03.482 --> 41:04.900
And considering the part you played
41:04.984 --> 41:07.403
at the Queen Dowager's quarters
last night,
41:08.195 --> 41:09.780
it makes perfect sense.
41:09.863 --> 41:13.284
And the Queen Dowager,
do you plan to do anything about her?
41:14.451 --> 41:17.454
Is that why you wanted to talk
this early in the morning?
41:17.538 --> 41:18.455
No.
41:18.539 --> 41:21.292
I wanted to make sure
Gu-cheon made it out all right
41:21.375 --> 41:23.002
and is free of the palace.
41:26.714 --> 41:28.632
You fret too easily.
41:29.925 --> 41:34.388
He will have left the palace by now
and surely will have traveled far already.
41:34.471 --> 41:37.016
After all, he saved my son.
41:39.101 --> 41:41.520
I have no desire to hurt Gu-cheon.
41:42.813 --> 41:44.898
He saved my child from death.
41:46.775 --> 41:48.193
Do not be worried.
41:50.404 --> 41:52.364
I must say, though,
41:52.448 --> 41:56.118
I did not expect him
to deal with the pond spirit so easily.
41:58.370 --> 42:01.415
Indeed, Father.
Even Gu-cheon felt strange about it.
42:01.498 --> 42:04.793
He questioned whether it was truly
the pond spirit that killed the princes.
42:07.129 --> 42:08.130
Father…
42:10.007 --> 42:13.218
…I want to know about the late King's
first son, the Crown Prince.
42:13.302 --> 42:14.762
How exactly did he pass away?
42:20.351 --> 42:21.935
Your Royal Highness!
42:23.354 --> 42:24.647
Your Royal Highness!
42:24.730 --> 42:27.066
Summon the physician!
42:27.149 --> 42:28.192
The physician!
42:29.860 --> 42:32.196
The Crown Prince… Your Royal Highness.
42:38.577 --> 42:39.870
A curse.
42:44.083 --> 42:46.627
He passed away
because a spirit had cursed him.
42:48.128 --> 42:50.047
What of the late King's second son?
43:08.273 --> 43:09.942
A spirit killed him.
43:10.984 --> 43:14.071
The third and fourth brothers as well.
All four of them.
43:18.826 --> 43:20.577
Are you really sure
43:20.661 --> 43:23.580
that the princes
were killed by the pond spirit alone?
43:29.962 --> 43:31.380
What is the matter?
43:35.342 --> 43:38.929
Your Majesty.
The hunting preparations are complete.
43:39.012 --> 43:41.014
Prince Yeongan is waiting for you.
43:41.598 --> 43:42.599
Very well.
43:48.063 --> 43:49.606
We will continue this later.
44:39.948 --> 44:42.576
We cannot allow him
to learn the truth of the pond spirit.
44:42.659 --> 44:45.746
- Stop. I don't wanna hear it.
- You do not need to know either.
44:45.829 --> 44:48.540
I do not want to know any more.
44:48.624 --> 44:49.625
Please, someone…
44:49.708 --> 44:51.084
…admitted to the crime…
44:51.168 --> 44:53.545
- Help me.
- Your father is the palace entity.
44:59.468 --> 45:00.803
Why are you crying?
45:01.470 --> 45:03.096
More importantly,
why haven't you left yet?
45:03.180 --> 45:05.057
There's one thing I didn't see.
45:05.641 --> 45:07.893
The spirit that cursed Prince Yeongan
45:07.976 --> 45:09.770
was not the Favored Court Lady.
45:11.355 --> 45:13.357
The one that tore
your body and soul was not her.
45:13.440 --> 45:14.775
There's got to be another.
45:15.484 --> 45:16.318
Then, um…
45:18.403 --> 45:20.489
…who was the one that tried to kill
45:21.281 --> 45:22.658
Crown Prince Yeongan?
45:37.297 --> 45:39.299
I will have my revenge.
45:40.217 --> 45:41.301
The King
45:42.761 --> 45:45.764
must pay for the sins
that he has committed.
45:49.393 --> 45:52.396
The secrets of
the royal house will be revealed.
45:52.896 --> 45:53.772
And I…
45:55.315 --> 45:57.484
I will become the real one.
46:00.445 --> 46:04.324
I will wipe out the royal bloodline!
47:24.905 --> 47:27.407
Prince Yeongan.
We need to go find Prince Yeongan!
47:27.908 --> 47:28.742
Wait.
47:29.409 --> 47:30.410
It's already too late.
47:45.968 --> 47:48.136
Is there a royal physician back there?
47:48.804 --> 47:50.722
Send for the royal physician!
47:51.765 --> 47:52.641
Take formation.
47:52.724 --> 47:56.061
Stay calm, everyone.
Don't break formation.
47:56.895 --> 47:58.105
Secure the perimeter.
47:58.188 --> 48:00.315
- What's happening?
- Protect His Majesty!
48:03.819 --> 48:05.779
Then you should leave the palace
through this path.
48:05.862 --> 48:06.738
You must run away now.
48:06.822 --> 48:09.032
Since you were unable to save his son,
48:09.533 --> 48:11.660
he will find you and kill you immediately.
48:12.160 --> 48:13.578
But if I leave you behind,
48:14.579 --> 48:16.832
you will die the same as Prince Yeongan.
48:20.877 --> 48:23.296
- That is a matter beyond your concern.
- It does concern me.
48:23.880 --> 48:25.382
You saved my life.
48:25.465 --> 48:27.926
You risked everything
coming to the other realm to save me,
48:28.010 --> 48:31.430
and now this time,
I'll be the one who is going to save you.
