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