WEBVTT

00:00:17.789 --> 00:00:19.332 align:center
Tell me, Crown Prince.

00:00:21.126 --> 00:00:22.919 align:center
Why do you resent Father?

00:00:26.840 --> 00:00:28.550 align:center
Why are you doing this?

00:00:29.551 --> 00:00:32.220 align:center
Now you mean to hurt Father
after murdering Prince Yeongan?

00:00:32.720 --> 00:00:33.805 align:center
Look closely.

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.018 align:center
Look closely.

00:00:40.854 --> 00:00:42.105 align:center
See how I died.

00:00:55.034 --> 00:00:57.370 align:center
It was Father who poisoned me.

00:01:04.127 --> 00:01:06.254 align:center
Father killed me.

00:01:07.964 --> 00:01:09.716 align:center
Now you know.

00:01:10.258 --> 00:01:12.051 align:center
You're awake!

00:01:12.135 --> 00:01:13.136 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:01:13.219 --> 00:01:14.345 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:01:20.393 --> 00:01:21.227 align:center
Chief Eunuch.

00:01:21.311 --> 00:01:22.604 align:center
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:01:22.687 --> 00:01:24.814 align:center
Summon the Chief Royal Secretary.

00:01:27.358 --> 00:01:28.276 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:01:31.070 --> 00:01:32.906 align:center
We have no time to spare.

00:01:35.116 --> 00:01:37.660 align:center
The plague must be contained at once.

00:01:37.744 --> 00:01:39.537 align:center
Carry out the edict as written.

00:01:43.333 --> 00:01:46.836 align:center
Are you saying
that you are ordering us to kill

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:48.963 align:center
everyone in the entire village,
Your Majesty?

00:01:49.047 --> 00:01:51.382 align:center
PUT THEM ALL TO DEATH

00:01:53.635 --> 00:01:55.261 align:center
And do not delay.

00:01:56.554 --> 00:01:58.181 align:center
<i>He is an ak-gwi.</i>

00:02:00.141 --> 00:02:02.393 align:center
A living, breathing ak-gwi.

00:02:03.853 --> 00:02:05.855 align:center
It was Father who killed me.

00:02:07.523 --> 00:02:10.777 align:center
He killed me
when I learned of all of his sins.

00:02:18.826 --> 00:02:22.705 align:center
And now you will be next
since you know the secret as well.

00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:25.208 align:center
- I am next.
- He will kill you too.

00:02:25.291 --> 00:02:27.502 align:center
You are next.
You know the secret, do you not?

00:02:27.585 --> 00:02:29.879 align:center
Father poisoned me.
Father killed me. He killed all of us.

00:02:29.963 --> 00:02:31.756 align:center
I will die next.

00:02:31.839 --> 00:02:33.549 align:center
He will kill you soon.

00:02:34.050 --> 00:02:36.052 align:center
I know the truth as well.

00:02:39.222 --> 00:02:42.976 align:center
THE EAST PALACE

00:02:43.059 --> 00:02:44.811 align:center
<i>You are next.</i>

00:03:01.911 --> 00:03:03.079 align:center
Damn it.

00:03:04.580 --> 00:03:06.624 align:center
I can't see clearly from here either.

00:03:51.085 --> 00:03:52.545 align:center
Princess.

00:04:07.435 --> 00:04:10.646 align:center
You defied my direct order
to save Prince Yeongan.

00:04:11.147 --> 00:04:14.400 align:center
And in spite of that,
you hid in here and deceived me,

00:04:15.651 --> 00:04:17.612 align:center
making your King look like a fool.

00:04:17.695 --> 00:04:21.032 align:center
And because of that, Your Majesty,
I saved you from the spirit.

00:04:21.115 --> 00:04:23.284 align:center
I'm told you unearthed
the Crown Prince. Is that right?

00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:25.078 align:center
Where is the body now?

00:04:25.661 --> 00:04:27.413 align:center
I'm unable to tell you that.

00:04:27.914 --> 00:04:31.125 align:center
It is essential to destroy the spirit.

00:04:31.209 --> 00:04:34.670 align:center
Even if that spirit
was your son, Your Majesty.

00:04:39.509 --> 00:04:41.427 align:center
I will give you ten days.

00:04:41.511 --> 00:04:43.262 align:center
Destroy the spirit within that time.

00:04:43.346 --> 00:04:44.389 align:center
But ten will not suffice.

00:04:44.472 --> 00:04:45.556 align:center
Ten days.

00:04:45.640 --> 00:04:49.185 align:center
If so, then you must follow
every one of my instructions.

00:04:49.268 --> 00:04:51.062 align:center
Mind your tongue.
How dare you speak to His--

00:04:51.145 --> 00:04:54.023 align:center
I will place a protective ward
in your bedchamber

00:04:54.107 --> 00:04:56.401 align:center
to keep the spirit from entering the room.

00:04:56.484 --> 00:04:58.945 align:center
Unless you wish to cough up more blood

00:05:00.196 --> 00:05:02.365 align:center
and linger before death's door.

00:05:15.294 --> 00:05:16.712 align:center
On one condition.

00:05:17.213 --> 00:05:18.256 align:center
And that is

00:05:19.632 --> 00:05:22.009 align:center
it's to be installed outside the hall.

00:05:56.544 --> 00:05:57.420 align:center
There you are.

00:05:59.255 --> 00:06:00.256 align:center
Princess.

00:06:02.633 --> 00:06:03.676 align:center
Princess.

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:04.802 align:center
Saeng-gang!

00:06:07.513 --> 00:06:08.764 align:center
It can't be…

00:06:12.810 --> 00:06:15.062 align:center
Princess, are you all right?

00:06:27.617 --> 00:06:28.784 align:center
Are you all right?

00:06:35.917 --> 00:06:37.668 align:center
What happened?

00:06:38.586 --> 00:06:40.171 align:center
You lost consciousness.

00:06:42.131 --> 00:06:46.093 align:center
It appears that… you were
taken over by the Crown Prince.

00:06:48.054 --> 00:06:50.848 align:center
He decided to use your body
to hide his own.

00:06:52.934 --> 00:06:54.060 align:center
Then he must…

00:06:55.019 --> 00:06:56.812 align:center
He must still be clinging on to me?

00:06:57.396 --> 00:06:58.439 align:center
I don't know.

00:07:00.066 --> 00:07:01.275 align:center
You don't know?

00:07:03.945 --> 00:07:07.114 align:center
I can't see any spirits.
I injured my eyes in the Realm of Gwi.

00:07:09.992 --> 00:07:11.536 align:center
Get some rest for now.

00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:14.789 align:center
I will go look for
the Crown Prince's body.

00:07:16.332 --> 00:07:17.500 align:center
That will not be necessary.

00:07:20.127 --> 00:07:21.587 align:center
What do you mean by that?

00:07:22.213 --> 00:07:24.674 align:center
Even if you do find his body
and put his spirit to rest,

00:07:24.757 --> 00:07:27.552 align:center
it has been made clear
that we will not be spared.

00:07:29.303 --> 00:07:31.305 align:center
For it is the King
that killed his own son.

00:07:34.809 --> 00:07:36.102 align:center
Killed his own son?

00:07:41.065 --> 00:07:44.443 align:center
<i>The rice they had placed</i>
<i>in his mouth had turned black.</i>

00:07:46.779 --> 00:07:48.322 align:center
He was poisoned.

00:07:53.703 --> 00:07:55.830 align:center
If we do not meet a similar fate,

00:07:57.373 --> 00:08:00.167 align:center
then we must uncover the incidents
and find the proof

00:08:00.251 --> 00:08:01.836 align:center
of what happened 30 years ago.

00:08:01.919 --> 00:08:03.129 align:center
That it was all my father.

00:08:04.255 --> 00:08:07.216 align:center
We must do this
before more people are killed.

00:08:08.092 --> 00:08:10.720 align:center
I sent the troops and carried out
the order you commanded.

00:08:10.803 --> 00:08:13.556 align:center
However, some soldiers decided
they should release

00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.435 align:center
several women and children,
and those who did appear to have fled.

00:08:23.858 --> 00:08:27.486 align:center
And are those who took it upon themselves
to release them still there?

00:08:28.446 --> 00:08:30.406 align:center
They are, Your Majesty.

00:08:30.489 --> 00:08:31.907 align:center
Seize them all.

00:08:31.991 --> 00:08:34.243 align:center
Then, in front of the rest of the troops…

00:08:36.787 --> 00:08:38.080 align:center
behead each one.

00:08:45.546 --> 00:08:49.425 align:center
I suppose that I have no choice
but to meet the Crown Prince's spirit.

00:08:50.509 --> 00:08:52.011 align:center
What do you mean by that?

00:08:52.094 --> 00:08:54.639 align:center
I must ask directly how he learned…

00:08:55.181 --> 00:08:56.807 align:center
learned of the crimes my father committed.

00:08:57.933 --> 00:08:59.894 align:center
He might be asking for my help

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.730 align:center
so that he may ease his resentment.

00:09:02.813 --> 00:09:06.776 align:center
Princess, he's an ak-gwi
who has taken lives.

00:09:07.485 --> 00:09:08.778 align:center
So forget it.

00:09:09.445 --> 00:09:10.529 align:center
Here, make this instead.

00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:15.910 align:center
What am I looking at?

00:09:15.993 --> 00:09:19.080 align:center
A ward to keep
the Crown Prince's spirit from clinging.

00:09:19.163 --> 00:09:20.915 align:center
It’s best to keep it attached to you.

00:09:38.349 --> 00:09:40.059 align:center
It must be frustrating

00:09:41.060 --> 00:09:42.603 align:center
not being able to see anymore.

00:09:44.814 --> 00:09:46.565 align:center
There's one good thing though.

00:09:47.983 --> 00:09:50.611 align:center
It's nice that,
for the first time in my life,

00:09:51.404 --> 00:09:53.948 align:center
I can't see spirits or gwi-maes at all.

00:10:00.496 --> 00:10:02.123 align:center
Then you'd wish to

00:10:03.749 --> 00:10:05.835 align:center
continue not being able to see?

00:10:07.753 --> 00:10:08.879 align:center
Forever?

00:10:11.716 --> 00:10:13.551 align:center
Whatever my wishes are,

00:10:14.593 --> 00:10:17.596 align:center
my sight must return
if we want to find the Crown Prince.

00:10:19.140 --> 00:10:21.058 align:center
It's the only way we'll get through this.

00:10:44.373 --> 00:10:46.417 align:center
What are you doing?

00:10:48.544 --> 00:10:50.880 align:center
I just wanted to check whether

00:10:50.963 --> 00:10:53.257 align:center
the Crown Prince's spirit
has secretly clung to you.

00:10:55.176 --> 00:10:59.388 align:center
But with my sight as it is,
how could I even know, right?

00:11:09.273 --> 00:11:10.941 align:center
About your eyesight…

00:11:13.402 --> 00:11:16.447 align:center
Do you think it is restorable?

00:11:16.530 --> 00:11:19.492 align:center
I have to find
the damn shaman who did this to me.

00:11:21.368 --> 00:11:24.163 align:center
The one hiding him is the one wishing
for the King to be dead.

00:11:27.666 --> 00:11:29.543 align:center
Do you suspect anyone at all?

00:11:37.927 --> 00:11:40.638 align:center
Why have you come all the way here?

00:11:41.138 --> 00:11:42.932 align:center
I have a matter to inquire about.

00:11:43.015 --> 00:11:45.351 align:center
Have you held a shamanic rite lately?

00:11:45.434 --> 00:11:47.228 align:center
A shamanic rite?

00:11:47.812 --> 00:11:50.105 align:center
When Prince Yeongan collapsed,
I believe it was you

00:11:50.189 --> 00:11:51.732 align:center
who summoned a shaman.

00:11:51.816 --> 00:11:53.359 align:center
Where might he be currently?

00:11:53.442 --> 00:11:57.154 align:center
You sought me out to ask such a thing?
You wretched child.

00:11:57.738 --> 00:12:00.908 align:center
After everything you did,
you have the nerve.

00:12:01.951 --> 00:12:05.079 align:center
You've become pathetic.

00:12:07.331 --> 00:12:09.542 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:12:20.970 --> 00:12:22.638 align:center
What's important is…

00:12:26.767 --> 00:12:28.727 align:center
I would guess that he has to be

00:12:28.811 --> 00:12:31.897 align:center
the feng shui master
His Majesty brought in.

00:12:31.981 --> 00:12:33.983 align:center
Why have you arrived with him?

00:12:34.066 --> 00:12:37.194 align:center
He's inspecting the palace grounds
by His Majesty's command.

00:12:37.278 --> 00:12:39.947 align:center
- The Queen Dowager's--
- You speak nothing but lies.

00:12:40.030 --> 00:12:44.535 align:center
I know full well
of the heinous acts he has done here.

00:12:46.412 --> 00:12:48.998 align:center
You, speak for yourself.

00:12:49.081 --> 00:12:52.710 align:center
Is there still a spirit in this palace

00:12:52.793 --> 00:12:55.087 align:center
that wants to end
the royal bloodline or not?

00:12:55.170 --> 00:12:58.299 align:center
A spirit in the palace? Uncle would scoff
and simply laugh in your presence.

00:12:58.382 --> 00:13:00.384 align:center
What did you say?

00:13:01.719 --> 00:13:03.679 align:center
Whether spirits are at work or not,

00:13:03.762 --> 00:13:07.099 align:center
is it not a relief
that His Majesty has recovered?

00:13:07.683 --> 00:13:10.352 align:center
Considering that the plague
continues to spread.

00:13:10.436 --> 00:13:13.606 align:center
Oh. Princess, have you not heard yet?

00:13:13.689 --> 00:13:15.190 align:center
Your Father

00:13:15.941 --> 00:13:18.402 align:center
deployed his troops
to where the plague had broken out,

00:13:18.485 --> 00:13:19.987 align:center
and once there…

00:13:22.907 --> 00:13:24.867 align:center
commanded that everyone be put to death.

00:13:31.999 --> 00:13:35.377 align:center
Children and elders alike,
every last one of them, dead.

00:13:46.388 --> 00:13:48.933 align:center
<i>He is an ak-gwi.</i>
<i>A living, breathing ak-gwi.</i>

00:13:49.016 --> 00:13:51.352 align:center
<i>He is an ak-gwi.</i>
<i>A living, breathing ak-gwi.</i>

00:13:53.479 --> 00:13:57.858 align:center
<i>They say it was the first act</i>
<i>His Majesty took upon awakening.</i>

00:13:59.401 --> 00:14:01.654 align:center
- Mother!
- Leave no one alive!

00:14:03.405 --> 00:14:06.617 align:center
Mother! Please, wake up.

00:14:08.369 --> 00:14:09.912 align:center
<i>He will kill everyone.</i>

00:14:09.995 --> 00:14:11.246 align:center
<i>Father poisoned me.</i>

00:14:11.330 --> 00:14:12.998 align:center
<i>He will put us all to death.</i>

00:14:13.082 --> 00:14:15.542 align:center
<i>You are next. He will kill you soon.</i>

00:14:15.626 --> 00:14:16.627 align:center
<i>He is an ak-gwi.</i>

00:14:20.422 --> 00:14:22.883 align:center
Get your hands off the Princess at once.

00:14:26.595 --> 00:14:29.181 align:center
A centipede
as large as a snake was on you.

00:14:30.224 --> 00:14:32.017 align:center
What's with all the bugs here?

00:14:36.355 --> 00:14:38.315 align:center
Uncle, what news do you have
for Her Highness?

00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:40.150 align:center
Have you come
to report on the plague matter?

00:14:40.234 --> 00:14:41.568 align:center
I have no official post.

00:14:41.652 --> 00:14:44.071 align:center
Why would I concern myself
with matters such as this?

00:14:44.154 --> 00:14:46.448 align:center
The reason I have an audience
with Her Royal Highness

00:14:46.532 --> 00:14:49.451 align:center
is to pay my respects,
as His Majesty issued an edict

00:14:49.535 --> 00:14:52.037 align:center
appointing my eldest son

00:14:53.914 --> 00:14:55.833 align:center
as Crown Prince.

00:15:02.923 --> 00:15:07.136 align:center
<i>Bring Prince Iksang's eldest son,</i>
<i>Prince Inha, into the palace</i>

00:15:07.219 --> 00:15:10.264 align:center
<i>so he can learn the proper customs</i>
<i>and hold the investiture ceremony</i>

00:15:10.347 --> 00:15:11.807 align:center
<i>as soon as possible.</i>

00:15:12.433 --> 00:15:14.309 align:center
<i>The nation is in turmoil.</i>

00:15:14.810 --> 00:15:17.896 align:center
<i>Since the East Palace</i>
<i>cannot remain vacant any longer,</i>

00:15:17.980 --> 00:15:21.108 align:center
<i>I will take Prince Inha as my adopted son</i>

00:15:21.191 --> 00:15:23.152 align:center
<i>and seat him upon the throne.</i>

00:15:25.487 --> 00:15:26.905 align:center
<i>He will kill me.</i>

00:15:27.948 --> 00:15:29.283 align:center
<i>I know he will.</i>

00:15:30.284 --> 00:15:31.702 align:center
<i>He is a man</i>

00:15:32.828 --> 00:15:34.830 align:center
<i>who killed his own son.</i>

00:15:35.372 --> 00:15:38.709 align:center
<i>He would not… hesitate.</i>

00:15:39.752 --> 00:15:43.130 align:center
RABBIT

00:15:48.093 --> 00:15:51.180 align:center
Why? Why'd you hit me?

00:15:51.847 --> 00:15:53.307 align:center
You need to get a hold of yourself.

00:15:53.390 --> 00:15:56.435 align:center
Dark thoughts weaken your mind
and make the heart fall apart.

00:15:56.935 --> 00:15:59.480 align:center
A spirit could just slide in
through those cracks.

00:16:01.732 --> 00:16:02.941 align:center
Set the ward.

00:16:04.068 --> 00:16:06.737 align:center
My sight still fails me,
so you will have to do it.

00:16:17.164 --> 00:16:18.165 align:center
Lower.

00:16:18.874 --> 00:16:20.834 align:center
- Place it lower.
- I'm doing that.

00:16:21.627 --> 00:16:23.128 align:center
It's as low as it can be.

00:16:23.670 --> 00:16:24.671 align:center
RABBIT

00:16:24.755 --> 00:16:25.589 align:center
I said to--

00:16:25.672 --> 00:16:27.925 align:center
I'm letting this slide
only because you can barely see.

00:16:36.892 --> 00:16:40.312 align:center
Why are we putting up these rabbit signs,
and why upside down?

00:16:40.395 --> 00:16:43.148 align:center
The Crown Prince was born
in the Year of the Rabbit.

00:16:43.732 --> 00:16:45.067 align:center
If it's upside down,

00:16:46.026 --> 00:16:49.571 align:center
his soul cannot pass through here
without a body to hide in.

00:16:51.865 --> 00:16:53.659 align:center
So you need to be careful.

00:16:54.368 --> 00:16:56.870 align:center
Unless you wish
to have your body taken by him.

00:16:57.371 --> 00:16:59.498 align:center
There was no other choice
when it happened.

00:17:01.583 --> 00:17:04.002 align:center
I'm not sure
how one could stay so collected

00:17:04.503 --> 00:17:06.630 align:center
after finding out
your father's a murderer.

00:17:10.843 --> 00:17:12.427 align:center
I'll say this again.

00:17:12.970 --> 00:17:15.681 align:center
You must keep your wits about you
going forward.

00:17:18.725 --> 00:17:21.061 align:center
If not,
you must stay close to somebody else,

00:17:21.145 --> 00:17:22.855 align:center
somebody you can rely on.

00:17:31.947 --> 00:17:35.117 align:center
There is someone
that I can rely on about this.

00:17:44.376 --> 00:17:45.460 align:center
Saeng-gang.

00:17:47.004 --> 00:17:48.297 align:center
Hello, Grandmother.

00:17:48.380 --> 00:17:49.798 align:center
Have you been well?

00:17:51.717 --> 00:17:53.260 align:center
Good for her. I'm glad.

00:17:53.343 --> 00:17:55.470 align:center
You are leaving the palace?

00:17:56.013 --> 00:17:58.640 align:center
I came here
so I could tend to Prince Yeongan.

00:17:58.724 --> 00:18:01.435 align:center
But that's no longer possible,
unfortunately.

00:18:01.518 --> 00:18:02.811 align:center
With you and Gu-cheon here,

00:18:02.895 --> 00:18:05.230 align:center
His Majesty should be safe
from all of this.

00:18:05.856 --> 00:18:09.359 align:center
However, this matter
of the late Crown Prince…

00:18:10.235 --> 00:18:13.197 align:center
It's hard to believe
he's become a spirit, isn't it?

00:18:18.952 --> 00:18:23.123 align:center
This palace is truly
a frightening place to be.

00:18:23.665 --> 00:18:25.751 align:center
It's not a place for an old woman.

00:18:28.128 --> 00:18:30.130 align:center
He looks like a walking corpse.

00:18:30.214 --> 00:18:32.799 align:center
- I hear you.
- Right? He can't even eat or speak.

00:18:33.342 --> 00:18:35.427 align:center
If a shaman loses their presiding deity,

00:18:35.510 --> 00:18:36.929 align:center
they honestly may as well be dead.

00:18:37.012 --> 00:18:38.805 align:center
Heavens! Let's get going.

00:20:03.140 --> 00:20:04.766 align:center
Take me in.

00:20:27.497 --> 00:20:30.334 align:center
I shall be your new presiding deity.

00:20:31.168 --> 00:20:34.463 align:center
Your Royal Highness!

00:20:56.568 --> 00:20:58.153 align:center
Gu-cheon, what happened?

00:21:01.156 --> 00:21:02.282 align:center
My eyes.

00:21:03.241 --> 00:21:05.118 align:center
I can't see at all anymore.

00:21:09.247 --> 00:21:10.707 align:center
That damned shaman.

00:21:11.750 --> 00:21:14.336 align:center
He must have burned the object
that cursed my eyes.

00:21:14.419 --> 00:21:16.797 align:center
He's already begun
with a new presiding deity.

00:21:22.844 --> 00:21:24.971 align:center
Isn't there something we can do about it?

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:28.141 align:center
Now that I can't see spirits at all,

00:21:29.476 --> 00:21:31.311 align:center
this work is doomed.

00:21:33.313 --> 00:21:35.399 align:center
Is there any way
to bring back some of your sight?

00:21:40.445 --> 00:21:43.615 align:center
There is one way,
but it is far too dangerous.

00:21:44.908 --> 00:21:46.118 align:center
Why is that?

00:21:46.201 --> 00:21:49.287 align:center
Because it means disturbing
what must never be disturbed.

00:21:57.504 --> 00:21:59.714 align:center
But if you're able
to bring back your vision…

00:22:02.175 --> 00:22:03.301 align:center
then we must do it.

00:22:03.385 --> 00:22:04.219 align:center
No.

00:22:05.011 --> 00:22:08.014 align:center
I would rather flee
than commit such an act.

00:22:08.807 --> 00:22:11.435 align:center
I will survive somehow,
as long as I stay hidden.

00:22:12.769 --> 00:22:14.938 align:center
Where do you think you're going?
You can't see anymore!

00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:21.236 align:center
Since it's come to this,

00:22:21.820 --> 00:22:23.738 align:center
you should flee the palace
and come with me.

00:22:23.822 --> 00:22:27.159 align:center
The moment we flee, His Majesty will
send out his troops to have us beheaded.

00:22:27.993 --> 00:22:31.204 align:center
And I don't wish to leave the palace again
for something that was not my fault,

00:22:31.788 --> 00:22:32.914 align:center
like when I was a child.

00:22:34.332 --> 00:22:37.502 align:center
I will have to seek out the Crown Prince's
spirit alone if you won't help us.

00:22:37.586 --> 00:22:40.464 align:center
I'll find a way to keep us both safe,
even if you can't.

00:22:40.547 --> 00:22:42.215 align:center
And how would you do that alone?

00:22:45.093 --> 00:22:47.304 align:center
If the Crown Prince's spirit
comes near me,

00:22:48.638 --> 00:22:49.764 align:center
I'm not going to stop it.

00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.226 align:center
Do you not remember
how dangerous this is for you?

00:22:53.894 --> 00:22:55.103 align:center
If the spirit takes your body--

00:22:55.187 --> 00:22:56.104 align:center
That will not happen.

00:22:56.188 --> 00:23:00.734 align:center
No matter the cost,
His Majesty's sins must be proven.

00:23:07.073 --> 00:23:08.867 align:center
You have honestly gone insane.

00:23:21.796 --> 00:23:25.175 align:center
Did you see the Princess's complexion?

00:23:25.675 --> 00:23:28.178 align:center
Her complexion, Your Majesty?

00:23:30.722 --> 00:23:31.973 align:center
Did it not look as though

00:23:32.057 --> 00:23:35.936 align:center
she was being tormented
by a kind of spirit?

00:23:36.436 --> 00:23:40.440 align:center
So could that spirit, the Court Lady,

00:23:40.524 --> 00:23:42.651 align:center
still linger in the palace walls?

00:23:42.734 --> 00:23:43.985 align:center
Definitely not.

00:23:44.069 --> 00:23:46.112 align:center
That tragic young man called Gu-cheon

00:23:46.196 --> 00:23:48.949 align:center
certainly destroyed the spirit
of the Most Favored Lady.

00:23:49.032 --> 00:23:50.784 align:center
I felt my body grow lighter.

00:23:50.867 --> 00:23:54.496 align:center
All of the resentment
I had to endure has now vanished.

00:23:54.579 --> 00:23:56.831 align:center
And yet Prince Yeongan still died,

00:23:56.915 --> 00:24:00.502 align:center
and both His Majesty
and the Princess have fallen ill.

00:24:04.631 --> 00:24:10.345 align:center
Could it be that another vengeful spirit
is after the throne and His Majesty?

00:24:13.181 --> 00:24:16.142 align:center
Oh, Your… Your Majesty.

00:24:16.226 --> 00:24:20.188 align:center
It was my very own shame
that clouded my sight.

00:24:20.272 --> 00:24:23.400 align:center
Why was His Majesty
the only son of the late King

00:24:23.483 --> 00:24:26.152 align:center
to have somehow survived this calamity?

00:24:26.236 --> 00:24:30.407 align:center
How did he, out of everyone,
survive the terrible curse?

00:24:31.866 --> 00:24:35.287 align:center
- <i>Indeed. There must be another cause.</i>
- That will be all today, Your Highness.

00:24:35.370 --> 00:24:38.123 align:center
<i>There was a physician</i>
<i>at the Royal Infirmary</i>

00:24:38.206 --> 00:24:41.501 align:center
<i>who examined the Princes</i>
<i>that died 30 years ago.</i>

00:24:41.585 --> 00:24:43.295 align:center
<i>Find him at once.</i>

00:24:49.676 --> 00:24:51.136 align:center
He is dead?

00:24:51.928 --> 00:24:53.471 align:center
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:24:53.555 --> 00:24:58.059 align:center
I traced the royal physician who attended
to the Princes that died 30 years ago.

00:24:58.143 --> 00:25:00.645 align:center
And, a few years after that,

00:25:00.729 --> 00:25:03.690 align:center
he suddenly vomited dark blood and died.

00:25:03.773 --> 00:25:07.694 align:center
The symptoms seem to match those
of the dead Princes.

00:25:10.322 --> 00:25:14.117 align:center
So, whatever targeted the royal house

00:25:14.868 --> 00:25:17.287 align:center
was not the work of spirits here.

00:25:20.040 --> 00:25:20.957 align:center
Pardon?

00:25:24.878 --> 00:25:27.797 align:center
Where is Prince Iksang's son right now?

00:25:31.968 --> 00:25:33.720 align:center
Oh! Prince Inha!

00:25:33.803 --> 00:25:35.305 align:center
- Madam!
- Prince, what happened?

00:25:35.388 --> 00:25:37.223 align:center
No!

00:25:37.307 --> 00:25:38.600 align:center
Summon the physician at once.

00:25:38.683 --> 00:25:39.559 align:center
Yes!

00:25:51.571 --> 00:25:53.114 align:center
What brings you here so late?

00:25:53.198 --> 00:25:55.825 align:center
You have been summoned
by Her Majesty, Princess.

00:25:56.409 --> 00:25:57.577 align:center
For what reason?

00:25:58.328 --> 00:26:00.372 align:center
Prince Inha has fallen unconscious.

00:26:02.666 --> 00:26:04.751 align:center
Then why is it I have been summoned?

00:26:05.418 --> 00:26:06.711 align:center
In his chamber,

00:26:07.545 --> 00:26:09.005 align:center
we found a box of confectioneries.

00:26:09.089 --> 00:26:10.382 align:center
Mm.

00:26:12.300 --> 00:26:15.637 align:center
It bears the same markings
as the box you brought Her Royal Majesty

00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:16.888 align:center
the Queen Dowager.

00:26:17.972 --> 00:26:20.183 align:center
Her Majesty says
that he appears to have collapsed

00:26:20.266 --> 00:26:22.894 align:center
after consuming what was inside the box.

00:26:28.817 --> 00:26:30.026 align:center
Your Highness?

00:26:43.415 --> 00:26:44.541 align:center
Saeng-gang.

00:26:46.501 --> 00:26:47.544 align:center
Saeng-gang.

00:26:48.044 --> 00:26:49.462 align:center
Saeng-gang!

00:26:50.046 --> 00:26:51.047 align:center
Saeng-gang.

00:26:53.133 --> 00:26:55.635 align:center
What is wrong with you?
Have you come to your senses?

00:26:58.304 --> 00:26:59.681 align:center
Wait, why am I here?

00:26:59.764 --> 00:27:01.599 align:center
I'm wondering that as well.

00:27:01.683 --> 00:27:04.352 align:center
You appeared out of nowhere
and just stood there without a word.

00:27:04.436 --> 00:27:06.271 align:center
I should take my leave from here.

00:27:10.066 --> 00:27:13.361 align:center
What is going on with you?
You can tell me, your grandmother.

00:27:18.199 --> 00:27:19.325 align:center
Grandmother.

00:27:21.327 --> 00:27:22.829 align:center
It's happening again.

00:27:24.831 --> 00:27:26.750 align:center
I think Father is

00:27:28.334 --> 00:27:29.961 align:center
becoming the pond spirit.

00:27:30.044 --> 00:27:31.838 align:center
I believe he is turning into it.

00:27:33.047 --> 00:27:34.924 align:center
The pond spirit, you say?

00:27:35.008 --> 00:27:37.761 align:center
The one who killed his brothers
30 years ago was…

00:27:39.596 --> 00:27:40.805 align:center
It was His Majesty.

00:27:41.639 --> 00:27:42.640 align:center
What are you…

00:27:45.226 --> 00:27:47.353 align:center
- What are you trying to say, child?
- And now, once more…

00:27:48.229 --> 00:27:50.190 align:center
It appears he'll do the same thing.

00:27:51.316 --> 00:27:54.402 align:center
He had Iksang's son summoned here
to the palace and poisoned him tonight.

00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:00.158 align:center
That cannot be.

00:28:00.241 --> 00:28:03.369 align:center
A lotus-patterned confectionery box
was found in the Prince's chambers.

00:28:03.453 --> 00:28:05.038 align:center
My mother received it as well.

00:28:06.873 --> 00:28:09.793 align:center
She died after eating the contents
of one just like that.

00:28:10.835 --> 00:28:12.670 align:center
- That cannot be.
- It's true.

00:28:13.755 --> 00:28:15.173 align:center
Grandmother, please.

00:28:15.256 --> 00:28:17.926 align:center
You also noticed something amiss
about Father, did you not?

00:28:18.009 --> 00:28:20.178 align:center
If you know anything, please say it.

00:28:20.261 --> 00:28:22.096 align:center
He must be stopped,
no matter what he does.

00:28:22.180 --> 00:28:23.723 align:center
And if there's no other way,

00:28:24.808 --> 00:28:27.060 align:center
then he must
relinquish the throne on his own.

00:28:46.871 --> 00:28:48.373 align:center
I do apologize.

00:28:49.332 --> 00:28:50.458 align:center
<i>Disappeared?</i>

00:28:50.542 --> 00:28:51.626 align:center
Yes!

00:28:51.709 --> 00:28:53.795 align:center
I was certain she would be here.

00:28:53.878 --> 00:28:55.672 align:center
Oh, then where'd she go?

00:28:56.965 --> 00:28:59.008 align:center
Wait, just tell me what happened.

00:29:03.847 --> 00:29:06.057 align:center
When she heard from Lady Jang,

00:29:06.140 --> 00:29:09.310 align:center
who recently found
that Prince Inha had collapsed,

00:29:09.394 --> 00:29:13.189 align:center
she suddenly started to push people away
and walked off somewhere alone.

00:29:13.273 --> 00:29:16.234 align:center
They say the Princess's face, it was pale.

00:29:16.317 --> 00:29:19.404 align:center
She didn't look like herself at all,
like her spirit had fled.

00:29:24.033 --> 00:29:26.494 align:center
The Princess's heart has fallen apart.

00:29:27.996 --> 00:29:30.373 align:center
Do you know where the Princess is now?

00:29:31.499 --> 00:29:32.375 align:center
<i>I do.</i>

00:29:32.876 --> 00:29:35.420 align:center
<i>A place where</i>
<i>there is someone she can rely on.</i>

00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.635 align:center
But that man, Gu-cheon, does he…

00:29:43.678 --> 00:29:45.722 align:center
does he know anything about this yet?

00:29:48.308 --> 00:29:49.934 align:center
Not about this.

00:29:50.560 --> 00:29:52.812 align:center
Only I, who can hear the voices,

00:29:54.230 --> 00:29:55.648 align:center
know what's happening.

00:30:00.945 --> 00:30:02.196 align:center
Don't lie to me.

00:30:07.785 --> 00:30:09.120 align:center
Sorry?

00:30:11.331 --> 00:30:12.540 align:center
<i>Saeng-gang.</i>

00:30:17.420 --> 00:30:18.421 align:center
Mother?

00:30:42.654 --> 00:30:44.072 align:center
This is a spell.

00:30:45.114 --> 00:30:47.742 align:center
<i>You must not remain at that person's side.</i>

00:30:53.247 --> 00:30:55.291 align:center
<i>I know you are the pond spirit.</i>

00:30:55.375 --> 00:30:57.126 align:center
<i>I know you are the pond spirit.</i>

00:30:57.210 --> 00:30:59.504 align:center
<i>It will all be revealed sooner or later.</i>

00:30:59.587 --> 00:31:03.383 align:center
Seems your mother is outside the chamber.

00:31:03.466 --> 00:31:05.635 align:center
How long will she
keep following me around?

00:31:05.718 --> 00:31:07.720 align:center
This is why I never wanted to come here.

00:31:11.891 --> 00:31:15.728 align:center
So… might she have other spirits with her?

00:31:17.563 --> 00:31:18.648 align:center
<i>Saeng-gang.</i>

00:31:19.857 --> 00:31:22.110 align:center
<i>You must not remain at that person's side.</i>

00:31:22.944 --> 00:31:24.570 align:center
<i>You must not remain at that person's side.</i>

00:31:24.654 --> 00:31:26.364 align:center
<i>You must not remain at that person's side.</i>

00:31:26.447 --> 00:31:29.075 align:center
<i>You must not remain at that person's side.</i>
<i>You must not remain…</i>

00:31:29.158 --> 00:31:31.911 align:center
The serpent's shed skin
killed the dragon's child.

00:31:31.995 --> 00:31:34.831 align:center
The serpent's shed skin
killed the dragon's child.

00:31:37.125 --> 00:31:39.460 align:center
<i>It's dangerous.</i>
<i>It's too dangerous, Saeng-gang.</i>

00:31:39.544 --> 00:31:41.671 align:center
Your Grace.

00:31:42.964 --> 00:31:45.717 align:center
Nobody must know about this poison.
Understood?

00:31:51.055 --> 00:31:52.515 align:center
When I was a child,

00:31:54.392 --> 00:31:57.937 align:center
you always came to see Mother and I
after we were cast out of the palace.

00:31:58.771 --> 00:32:00.064 align:center
And each time, without fail,

00:32:00.148 --> 00:32:03.192 align:center
you came bearing bundles
and boxes filled with food.

00:32:14.954 --> 00:32:16.998 align:center
The one who poisoned Mother…

00:32:19.208 --> 00:32:20.835 align:center
Grandmother, it was you.

00:32:23.588 --> 00:32:27.216 align:center
Yes, and now,
you have consumed the very same thing.

00:32:29.052 --> 00:32:31.554 align:center
I used only a weakened dose,

00:32:32.138 --> 00:32:34.390 align:center
so you will not have
the same fate as the others did.

00:32:40.980 --> 00:32:43.816 align:center
You will simply spend
the rest of your life unable to speak,

00:32:43.900 --> 00:32:46.486 align:center
lying like a living corpse, eternally.

00:32:51.449 --> 00:32:52.700 align:center
<i>Grandmother.</i>

00:32:53.284 --> 00:32:55.203 align:center
<i>So you were the pond spirit.</i>

00:33:02.418 --> 00:33:04.754 align:center
- Your Royal Highness!
- Bring a stretcher now!

00:33:05.505 --> 00:33:07.423 align:center
- Summon the physician!
- Oh no!

00:33:08.841 --> 00:33:10.510 align:center
Go, you, you, you, go!

00:33:21.145 --> 00:33:23.731 align:center
I cannot believe he suddenly passed away

00:33:24.315 --> 00:33:25.775 align:center
while riding a horse.

00:33:25.858 --> 00:33:28.486 align:center
His Majesty's health was always so frail.

00:33:30.530 --> 00:33:32.281 align:center
The Crown Prince passed away

00:33:32.365 --> 00:33:35.618 align:center
not long after the death
of the Most Favored Lady of the Court,

00:33:35.701 --> 00:33:39.539 align:center
who promised… to end the royal line.

00:33:42.208 --> 00:33:44.627 align:center
What a splendid coincidence that is.

00:33:45.795 --> 00:33:47.713 align:center
I present this to you, Your Grace.

00:33:47.797 --> 00:33:50.633 align:center
Nobody must know
about this poison. Understood?

00:33:54.053 --> 00:33:56.514 align:center
<i>We must make sure that the people believe</i>

00:33:56.597 --> 00:34:00.059 align:center
<i>that the Princes died</i>
<i>at the hands of the spirit's curse.</i>

00:34:02.311 --> 00:34:06.357 align:center
<i>I'm referring to the pond spirit</i>
<i>who cursed the royal family and died.</i>

00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:07.775 align:center
Your Majesty.

00:34:10.153 --> 00:34:11.237 align:center
<i>The Queen,</i>

00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:14.615 align:center
<i>who turned the Most Favored Lady</i>
<i>of the Court into the spirit,</i>

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:17.660 align:center
<i>has to be the one</i>
<i>to take the blame for all of this.</i>

00:34:18.327 --> 00:34:22.039 align:center
THE SERPENT'S CAST SKIN
KILLED THE DRAGON'S CHILD

00:34:22.123 --> 00:34:24.125 align:center
There is surely someone among you wenches

00:34:24.208 --> 00:34:25.751 align:center
who has insulted the royal house.

00:34:33.426 --> 00:34:34.427 align:center
<i>And then,</i>

00:34:35.303 --> 00:34:37.680 align:center
<i>after all the Princes are dead…</i>

00:34:39.974 --> 00:34:41.517 align:center
<i>my own son</i>

00:34:42.518 --> 00:34:45.313 align:center
<i>will become the Crown Prince.</i>

00:34:50.902 --> 00:34:52.987 align:center
<i>So I must remove anyone at all</i>

00:34:53.821 --> 00:34:56.073 align:center
<i>who might reveal the secret.</i>

00:34:56.616 --> 00:34:59.702 align:center
<i>Anyone who would harm my son,</i>
<i>no matter who they are,</i>

00:34:59.785 --> 00:35:01.162 align:center
<i>with no exceptions.</i>

00:35:02.997 --> 00:35:05.583 align:center
<i>So is that why you killed Mother as well?</i>

00:35:06.167 --> 00:35:07.418 align:center
You killed her,

00:35:07.501 --> 00:35:09.879 align:center
all because she came to learn
of Father's secret later on?

00:35:09.962 --> 00:35:12.006 align:center
What? Later on?

00:35:12.715 --> 00:35:15.885 align:center
Your mother was with me
from the beginning of it all.

00:35:34.403 --> 00:35:38.407 align:center
<i>That was the very reason</i>
<i>your lowly mother, a mere court lady,</i>

00:35:38.491 --> 00:35:41.118 align:center
<i>was able to become</i>
<i>a concubine of the King.</i>

00:35:52.046 --> 00:35:56.050 align:center
That throne was made with the help
of your father and your mother.

00:35:56.133 --> 00:35:58.386 align:center
And you, my dear child,

00:35:58.469 --> 00:36:01.097 align:center
are simply the product that sin created.

00:36:12.191 --> 00:36:13.985 align:center
<i>He must be stopped.</i>

00:36:16.070 --> 00:36:19.824 align:center
<i>We must prevent any further sacrifices.</i>

00:36:21.534 --> 00:36:23.953 align:center
<i>There were never such things as spirits.</i>

00:36:24.912 --> 00:36:27.623 align:center
<i>No spirit sought</i>
<i>to wipe out the royal bloodline.</i>

00:36:29.166 --> 00:36:30.501 align:center
<i>The King…</i>

00:36:30.584 --> 00:36:32.670 align:center
<i>He himself is the living ak-gwi.</i>

00:36:32.753 --> 00:36:34.672 align:center
<i>The King must be stopped.</i>

00:37:22.762 --> 00:37:23.804 align:center
Saeng-gang?

00:37:24.472 --> 00:37:25.514 align:center
Saeng-gang!

00:37:33.105 --> 00:37:36.192 align:center
Spirits have crossed
the threshold of this place.

00:37:36.776 --> 00:37:38.277 align:center
Where has the Princess gone?

00:37:38.361 --> 00:37:39.862 align:center
I do not know where.

00:37:39.945 --> 00:37:42.782 align:center
But first, you should attend to…

00:37:50.164 --> 00:37:51.540 align:center
My son.

00:37:52.124 --> 00:37:53.334 align:center
My son.

00:38:06.180 --> 00:38:08.140 align:center
She discarded the ward.

00:38:09.725 --> 00:38:11.477 align:center
It’s broken now.

00:38:23.447 --> 00:38:27.284 align:center
What sin have you committed
that has made you so afraid

00:38:27.368 --> 00:38:30.538 align:center
that you've had spells written
on every door?

00:38:33.874 --> 00:38:37.711 align:center
Answer me now! What did you do to make
your own granddaughter lose consciousness

00:38:37.795 --> 00:38:39.713 align:center
and yield her body to a spirit?

00:38:55.729 --> 00:38:56.939 align:center
What is that?

00:38:57.022 --> 00:38:58.357 align:center
A straw effigy.

00:38:58.941 --> 00:39:01.110 align:center
It will take the misfortune in my stead.

00:39:01.193 --> 00:39:02.945 align:center
In your stead? What does that mean?

00:39:03.028 --> 00:39:04.447 align:center
You must hang this up

00:39:05.906 --> 00:39:08.033 align:center
exactly where I told you.

00:39:08.784 --> 00:39:11.203 align:center
And what will you do in the meantime?

00:39:12.121 --> 00:39:13.581 align:center
I will save the Princess.

00:39:13.664 --> 00:39:14.832 align:center
Huh?

00:39:15.875 --> 00:39:18.919 align:center
I warned her to be careful,
to not get possessed by a spirit.

00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.173 align:center
How foolish and pathetic of her.

00:39:24.675 --> 00:39:25.676 align:center
Here.

00:39:45.362 --> 00:39:47.323 align:center
So in the end, it comes to this.

00:39:47.823 --> 00:39:50.242 align:center
Be it always my cursed fate.

00:41:33.887 --> 00:41:35.389 align:center
RABBIT

00:43:33.465 --> 00:43:34.967 align:center
Help her, please.

00:43:38.262 --> 00:43:39.596 align:center
You can save Saeng-gang.

00:43:40.931 --> 00:43:42.266 align:center
Please help her.

00:43:44.476 --> 00:43:46.228 align:center
Please save my daughter.

00:43:49.189 --> 00:43:50.607 align:center
My sins

00:43:51.900 --> 00:43:55.571 align:center
have put my daughter in grave danger.

00:43:55.654 --> 00:43:56.739 align:center
Your Highness.

00:44:02.578 --> 00:44:04.621 align:center
<i>Save my Saeng-gang.</i>

00:44:06.665 --> 00:44:08.542 align:center
<i>Save her from that ak-gwi.</i>

00:44:20.095 --> 00:44:21.263 align:center
<i>Princess!</i>

00:44:25.768 --> 00:44:27.644 align:center
<i>Regain control of yourself.</i>

00:44:29.605 --> 00:44:32.566 align:center
If you are to withstand
the Crown Prince's attack,

00:44:32.649 --> 00:44:34.568 align:center
you must keep your wits about you.

00:44:35.152 --> 00:44:36.153 align:center
Are you listening at all?
