00:00:06,127 --> 00:00:07,548
THIS DRAMA IS A WORK OF FICTION.
2
00:00:07,548 --> 00:00:09,802
ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCATIONS, INCIDENTS, AND RELIGIONS
3
00:00:09,802 --> 00:00:11,431
DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE FICTITIOUS.
4
00:00:11,431 --> 00:00:15,811
SCENES INVOLVING ANIMALS WERE
CREATED WITH PROPS AND VISUAL EFFECTS.
5
00:00:24,147 --> 00:00:26,983
How could you let such a thing happen?
6
00:00:27,066 --> 00:00:30,403
Who was the one who told me
to lead the interrogation?
7
00:00:32,113 --> 00:00:35,283
How dare you make me
listen to that disgraceful curse
8
00:00:35,366 --> 00:00:37,410
from that filthy shaman?
9
00:00:51,257 --> 00:00:53,593
It was you wasn't it, Lord Cho?
10
00:00:53,676 --> 00:00:57,889
Your Majesty, how could you be swayed
by the words of a heinous killer?
11
00:00:57,972 --> 00:01:00,308
They are just the remnants
of a band of thieves.
12
00:01:00,391 --> 00:01:02,059
The remnants of a band of thieves?
13
00:01:02,143 --> 00:01:05,438
You arrested Song,
the leader of the thieves, 10 years ago
14
00:01:05,521 --> 00:01:08,357
and received merit subject land
and slaves.
15
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,029
So how are there thieves still left?
16
00:01:13,112 --> 00:01:15,031
Are you sure you subjugated them?
17
00:01:19,827 --> 00:01:20,912
That's not all.
18
00:01:23,247 --> 00:01:25,458
Everyone here is in on it.
19
00:01:26,083 --> 00:01:28,002
Who are you people?
20
00:01:28,085 --> 00:01:30,963
You were named merit subjects
and get monthly paychecks,
21
00:01:31,047 --> 00:01:32,507
so what have you been doing?
22
00:01:33,674 --> 00:01:36,469
Is your country Joseon or your family?
23
00:01:41,182 --> 00:01:43,643
I heard everyone in the Cho family
24
00:01:43,726 --> 00:01:45,770
is working in a government post.
25
00:01:46,562 --> 00:01:48,773
I heard the storage in Bukchon
where you live
26
00:01:48,856 --> 00:01:52,443
reeks of rotting meat and fish.
27
00:01:55,404 --> 00:01:57,198
What have you been doing
28
00:01:57,281 --> 00:02:00,785
other than increase your fortune and power?
29
00:02:00,868 --> 00:02:02,578
Tell me what you've done for me
30
00:02:02,662 --> 00:02:05,540
or the Crown Prince or the Grand Prince.
31
00:02:10,044 --> 00:02:13,548
Your Majesty.
Of course, we feel terrible as well.
32
00:02:13,631 --> 00:02:14,632
Lord Cho!
33
00:02:18,636 --> 00:02:20,555
Not another word.
34
00:02:23,224 --> 00:02:26,060
I do not want to hear anything from you.
35
00:02:28,271 --> 00:02:31,023
If anyone talks
36
00:02:32,984 --> 00:02:38,656
about what happened today at the interrogation
or spread rumors outside the palace,
37
00:02:38,906 --> 00:02:41,367
not only will he be severely punished,
38
00:02:43,077 --> 00:02:46,205
but his family and relatives as well.
39
00:02:46,289 --> 00:02:49,083
We will do as your ordered, Your Majesty.
40
00:02:53,504 --> 00:02:55,298
Bing me Sun-dol.
41
00:02:56,757 --> 00:02:57,758
Pardon?
42
00:03:01,554 --> 00:03:03,055
Bring me Go Sun-dol.
43
00:03:05,683 --> 00:03:06,726
Stop!
44
00:03:22,867 --> 00:03:26,787
How dare you try
to hurt my friend and apprentice.
45
00:03:28,205 --> 00:03:30,082
You are so dead.
46
00:03:47,016 --> 00:03:48,309
It's too dangerous.
47
00:03:48,392 --> 00:03:50,227
You can't. There are two of them.
48
00:03:57,902 --> 00:03:59,111
SONG, GA, MYEOL, LEE
49
00:04:02,531 --> 00:04:04,033
I have to go see His Highness.
50
00:04:06,577 --> 00:04:07,954
But he was kicked out.
51
00:04:09,455 --> 00:04:11,582
Did you get hurt?
52
00:04:11,666 --> 00:04:13,042
Are you okay?
53
00:04:14,669 --> 00:04:15,670
Yes, Master.
54
00:04:27,598 --> 00:04:29,684
You must've been afraid.
55
00:04:29,767 --> 00:04:31,268
You must've been lonely.
56
00:04:32,186 --> 00:04:37,108
Yes. I was afraid and lonely.
57
00:04:37,191 --> 00:04:40,444
You must've felt frustrated
because you didn't know who to fight.
58
00:04:40,611 --> 00:04:42,947
I can't fight a ghost, can I?
59
00:04:43,030 --> 00:04:45,700
It's not just
Crown Prince Hwan they are after.
60
00:04:45,783 --> 00:04:48,911
They are trying to curse
the entire royal family
61
00:04:48,995 --> 00:04:51,247
so that they can take over Joseon.
62
00:04:52,373 --> 00:04:55,084
Can I start working
in the East Palace again?
63
00:04:55,751 --> 00:04:57,920
I think that's not a good idea.
64
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:01,799
Even though I said that
65
00:05:01,882 --> 00:05:04,427
I really wish you were here right now.
66
00:05:04,510 --> 00:05:06,095
I'm on my way, Your Highness.
67
00:05:06,178 --> 00:05:08,097
I will stay next to you.
68
00:05:11,767 --> 00:05:13,769
How could the shaman talk
69
00:05:13,853 --> 00:05:15,604
about the Song family of Byeokcheon?
70
00:05:15,688 --> 00:05:16,939
I know.
71
00:05:17,023 --> 00:05:18,441
The fact that the murderer is
72
00:05:18,524 --> 00:05:21,444
a shaman of the Office of Shamanism.
73
00:05:21,485 --> 00:05:24,113
I wonder why Song's ghost possessed her
74
00:05:24,196 --> 00:05:26,157
when he died over 10 years ago.
75
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,451
What happened to the plum tree
in the palace?
76
00:05:28,534 --> 00:05:29,910
It was struck by lightning?
77
00:05:29,994 --> 00:05:33,247
Right when the shaman was trying
to curse His Majesty.
78
00:05:33,330 --> 00:05:36,083
Didn't it look like a ghost's curse?
79
00:05:36,167 --> 00:05:39,211
Gosh, watch your mouth.
80
00:05:40,171 --> 00:05:41,756
We must establish a directorate
81
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,884
and reinvestigate
the Byeokcheon case from 10 years ago.
82
00:05:44,967 --> 00:05:48,262
We must ask His Majesty
to reopen the case?
83
00:05:48,345 --> 00:05:52,141
Lord Kim,
doesn't the case from 10 years ago bothers you?
84
00:05:52,224 --> 00:05:56,562
His Majesty is keeping
the Cho family in check,
85
00:05:56,645 --> 00:05:58,105
so this is our chance.
86
00:05:59,482 --> 00:06:01,942
I'm not sure who did it,
87
00:06:02,026 --> 00:06:05,571
but it's certain that this is
a chance to weaken the Cho family's power.
88
00:06:09,575 --> 00:06:11,077
All right.
89
00:06:12,036 --> 00:06:14,747
I think you all want to know
what this means,
90
00:06:14,830 --> 00:06:16,373
so gather around.
91
00:06:16,457 --> 00:06:18,667
What this means is that
92
00:06:18,751 --> 00:06:21,212
the Song family will destroy
the Lee family.
93
00:06:21,295 --> 00:06:24,381
It means something like that.
94
00:06:24,465 --> 00:06:26,008
Who are the Song family?
95
00:06:26,092 --> 00:06:28,302
It's the Song family of Byeokcheon.
96
00:06:28,385 --> 00:06:30,096
The leader of those thieves.
97
00:06:30,179 --> 00:06:33,307
Then who is the Lee family
the Song family is going to destroy?
98
00:06:33,390 --> 00:06:34,642
My gosh.
99
00:06:34,725 --> 00:06:38,062
The King, Crown Prince, Grand Prince,
Princess and their relatives
100
00:06:38,145 --> 00:06:40,856
are all in the Lee family.
101
00:06:40,940 --> 00:06:44,777
So the shaman of the Office of Shamanism
was possessed by the Song family ghost
102
00:06:44,860 --> 00:06:47,571
and killed all those people
to curse the royal family?
103
00:06:47,655 --> 00:06:51,033
And right before I came here, I heard that
104
00:06:51,117 --> 00:06:53,744
the plum tree in
the palace caught on fire.
105
00:06:53,828 --> 00:06:56,580
What is plum tree
in Chinese characters? "Lee."
106
00:06:56,664 --> 00:06:59,625
The Song family ghost showed an example.
107
00:06:59,708 --> 00:07:02,628
I will burn you all
108
00:07:02,711 --> 00:07:05,422
like this plum tree.
109
00:07:06,298 --> 00:07:08,926
There were rumors
about the Crown Prince being cursed.
110
00:07:09,009 --> 00:07:10,136
Is it really true?
111
00:07:10,219 --> 00:07:13,055
Gosh, what is going on in this country?
112
00:07:13,472 --> 00:07:16,350
-Did something happen?
-Weren't you with Eunuch Go?
113
00:07:16,475 --> 00:07:18,352
He's already on his way to the palace.
114
00:07:18,435 --> 00:07:19,937
Everything's a mess here.
115
00:07:20,020 --> 00:07:21,897
These papers just fell from the sky.
116
00:07:23,524 --> 00:07:24,567
Here.
117
00:07:24,650 --> 00:07:25,943
SONG, GA, MYEOL, LEE
118
00:07:48,424 --> 00:07:51,260
How could only the plum tree catch on fire
119
00:07:51,343 --> 00:07:53,888
out of all the trees here?
120
00:07:53,971 --> 00:07:55,890
Does a ghost really exist
121
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,934
and did it strike the plum tree on fire
122
00:08:00,811 --> 00:08:03,480
so that I and my family can see?
123
00:08:03,564 --> 00:08:05,191
That's not possible.
124
00:08:06,066 --> 00:08:07,860
A living human being must've done it.
125
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:34,220
Your Highness, this smell...
126
00:08:34,303 --> 00:08:37,723
It's similar to the smell of gunpowder
which was used in Gaeseong
127
00:08:37,806 --> 00:08:40,059
when they trained the soldiers.
128
00:08:40,142 --> 00:08:42,102
It's probably sulfur.
129
00:08:42,186 --> 00:08:45,439
But the fire couldn't have lasted
that long with sulfur alone.
130
00:08:47,816 --> 00:08:50,110
I'll go ask the master of Manyeondang
tomorrow.
131
00:08:59,787 --> 00:09:00,829
What is going on?
132
00:09:00,913 --> 00:09:03,791
They were the soldiers
who guarded the shaman.
133
00:09:03,874 --> 00:09:05,209
They died last night.
134
00:09:06,335 --> 00:09:07,419
Show me their bodies.
135
00:09:26,897 --> 00:09:28,983
I chased after the man who shot the arrow,
136
00:09:29,066 --> 00:09:32,695
but I lost him
because the other guys showed up.
137
00:09:34,571 --> 00:09:36,699
How many of them are there?
138
00:09:36,782 --> 00:09:39,076
Who are they getting their orders from?
139
00:09:40,619 --> 00:09:42,121
Have you looked into the peony?
140
00:09:42,204 --> 00:09:46,208
All I heard is that
it could be from South East Asia.
141
00:09:46,292 --> 00:09:49,295
I heard that they brush oil
142
00:09:49,378 --> 00:09:51,088
on the dried petals and burn them.
143
00:09:55,634 --> 00:09:57,469
South East Asia...
144
00:10:04,310 --> 00:10:07,980
Your Highness,
Section Chief Han is here.
145
00:10:08,063 --> 00:10:09,148
Enter.
146
00:10:17,156 --> 00:10:20,409
There was a clear bite mark
from a snake on his neck and shoulder.
147
00:10:20,492 --> 00:10:22,911
I'm thinking it's the same snake that bit
148
00:10:22,995 --> 00:10:24,997
the shaman at the interrogation.
149
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,498
It's strange, isn't it?
150
00:10:26,582 --> 00:10:29,585
And a bloody dagger was found
in the prison cell
151
00:10:29,668 --> 00:10:31,587
where the shaman was held.
152
00:10:32,212 --> 00:10:34,340
She must've used it to carve the letters.
153
00:10:34,423 --> 00:10:37,885
I guess there's no way to find out
154
00:10:37,968 --> 00:10:40,387
who gave the dagger
and snake to the shaman.
155
00:10:44,391 --> 00:10:47,394
Are you still chasing Oh Man-sik
who messed with the prayer?
156
00:10:47,478 --> 00:10:50,564
Yes, Your Highness.
He had an older brother who passed away.
157
00:10:50,647 --> 00:10:54,568
His sister-in-law and nephews live
in Inchang so he visits there often.
158
00:10:54,651 --> 00:10:56,695
I have one of my men undercover,
159
00:10:56,779 --> 00:10:59,782
so if Oh Man-sik tries
to reach out to them,
160
00:10:59,865 --> 00:11:01,617
we'll be able to catch him.
161
00:11:01,700 --> 00:11:03,285
We must catch him.
162
00:11:03,369 --> 00:11:05,496
He may be involved in what happened.
163
00:11:14,713 --> 00:11:16,256
Were you surprised?
164
00:11:16,340 --> 00:11:19,927
He wanted to see the interrogation, so...
165
00:11:20,010 --> 00:11:22,262
He already saw it.
There's nothing we can do.
166
00:11:22,888 --> 00:11:24,556
It's not your fault.
167
00:11:26,141 --> 00:11:27,267
How is he?
168
00:11:27,351 --> 00:11:28,685
He's just in shock.
169
00:11:28,769 --> 00:11:31,647
He'll get better with a little rest.
170
00:11:33,232 --> 00:11:35,651
I will brew some medicine
to help him calm down.
171
00:11:36,610 --> 00:11:37,861
Thank you.
172
00:11:45,661 --> 00:11:46,912
Mother.
173
00:11:48,539 --> 00:11:50,624
Who are the Song family from Byeokcheon?
174
00:11:51,834 --> 00:11:53,585
Do you know who they are Ha-yeon?
175
00:11:54,837 --> 00:11:57,172
You must get some rest.
176
00:11:57,256 --> 00:12:00,008
-When you get better, I'll...
-I want to know now.
177
00:12:00,092 --> 00:12:03,262
Is the Song family even alive?
178
00:12:03,345 --> 00:12:06,473
Or have they become a ghost?
179
00:12:06,557 --> 00:12:08,851
Not knowing is scarier.
180
00:12:08,934 --> 00:12:10,602
Do you know, Court Lady Han?
181
00:12:17,443 --> 00:12:19,528
Ten years ago,
182
00:12:19,611 --> 00:12:22,990
a band of thieves rose up
in rebellion in Byeokcheon.
183
00:12:23,073 --> 00:12:25,909
Song was the leader of the thieves.
184
00:12:25,993 --> 00:12:28,662
How could a mere thief become a ghost
185
00:12:28,745 --> 00:12:30,789
and curse the royal family?
186
00:12:30,873 --> 00:12:33,000
What happened to him?
187
00:12:33,083 --> 00:12:35,794
Lord Cho, who was the Minister
of Defense back then,
188
00:12:35,878 --> 00:12:39,214
went to Byeokcheon himself
and subjugated the thieves
189
00:12:39,298 --> 00:12:41,467
-And Song also...
-That's enough.
190
00:12:41,550 --> 00:12:42,551
Yes, Your Highness.
191
00:12:42,634 --> 00:12:44,136
Did grandfather subjugate them?
192
00:12:44,761 --> 00:12:48,849
Mother, since grandfather subjugated them,
193
00:12:50,309 --> 00:12:54,354
he'll also stop Song's ghost, right?
194
00:13:03,864 --> 00:13:07,534
I am Song and I came back
because innocent people in Byeokcheon
195
00:13:07,618 --> 00:13:09,161
were killed wrongly.
196
00:13:09,244 --> 00:13:11,747
I may have become a ghost,
197
00:13:11,830 --> 00:13:15,542
but my soul sits upon the throne.
198
00:13:15,626 --> 00:13:18,378
The Song family will destroy the Lee family
199
00:13:18,462 --> 00:13:23,008
and become the king!
200
00:13:26,553 --> 00:13:27,596
You filthy thief!
201
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,681
He's still alive. How tenacious.
202
00:13:29,765 --> 00:13:32,059
He slaughtered and kidnapped the nobles,
203
00:13:32,142 --> 00:13:34,811
women, and children.
What else is there to say?
204
00:13:45,239 --> 00:13:47,324
I can't believe the soldiers
and the shaman
205
00:13:47,407 --> 00:13:49,826
were all bitten by a gloydius saxatilis.
206
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,413
Read it.
207
00:13:53,497 --> 00:13:55,749
It's Sim Yeong's second autopsy report.
208
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,304
The coroner checked the number of wounds
209
00:14:09,388 --> 00:14:11,890
and if any
of the wounds contributed to his death,
210
00:14:11,974 --> 00:14:14,851
but he was clean aside
from the bruise on his neck.
211
00:14:14,935 --> 00:14:17,604
The bruise was blackish red,
his eyes were closed
212
00:14:17,688 --> 00:14:18,939
and his mouth was open.
213
00:14:19,022 --> 00:14:22,192
If someone killed him beforehand
and made it seem like a suicide,
214
00:14:22,276 --> 00:14:24,194
these symptoms cannot appear.
215
00:14:26,572 --> 00:14:28,282
It was definitely a suicide
216
00:14:28,365 --> 00:14:30,993
and the suicide note was
in his handwriting.
217
00:14:31,076 --> 00:14:33,662
Since the students
at the Confucian school testified,
218
00:14:33,745 --> 00:14:37,082
it was definitely a suicide.
They said he kept searching your house
219
00:14:37,165 --> 00:14:39,334
for something
after your family passed away.
220
00:14:39,418 --> 00:14:41,837
Is there anything you can think of?
221
00:14:55,684 --> 00:14:57,227
What is this...
222
00:14:57,311 --> 00:14:58,895
Sim Yeong left these behind.
223
00:14:58,979 --> 00:15:01,815
The suicide note and the jade bracelet were
on the floor.
224
00:15:01,898 --> 00:15:03,358
Keep them safe.
225
00:15:03,442 --> 00:15:06,320
But I'm not sure how to explain this.
226
00:15:07,070 --> 00:15:08,614
Yeong's hair was white?
227
00:15:08,697 --> 00:15:11,908
No, that's wrong.
It changed out of the blue.
228
00:15:11,992 --> 00:15:15,078
Yeong didn't have black hair
when I left Gaeseong.
229
00:15:15,662 --> 00:15:16,997
Do you remember?
230
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,665
The shaman also had white hair.
231
00:15:22,210 --> 00:15:24,004
What is going on?
232
00:15:24,504 --> 00:15:26,715
The shaman used to come to Gaeseong to pray.
233
00:15:26,798 --> 00:15:28,425
First the peony petals,
234
00:15:30,010 --> 00:15:31,178
then the white hair...
235
00:15:31,261 --> 00:15:35,223
And the gloydius saxatilis that killed
the messenger and hurt me.
236
00:15:43,106 --> 00:15:45,150
It must be
the doing of the same person.
237
00:15:46,151 --> 00:15:47,319
And another thing.
238
00:15:47,402 --> 00:15:50,489
The ghost's letter.
239
00:15:50,572 --> 00:15:53,116
The shaman knew about the ghost's letter.
240
00:15:58,538 --> 00:16:00,165
Do you think
241
00:16:01,208 --> 00:16:04,169
the remaining thieves of Byeokcheon
are behind everything?
242
00:16:19,935 --> 00:16:21,561
Is anyone there?
243
00:16:22,145 --> 00:16:23,438
Hurry up.
244
00:16:23,522 --> 00:16:25,065
Is anyone there?
245
00:16:25,148 --> 00:16:26,733
Let me down.
246
00:16:28,193 --> 00:16:31,446
Won-bo.
247
00:16:31,530 --> 00:16:35,242
Take a look at this.
248
00:16:35,325 --> 00:16:37,452
There really were
249
00:16:37,536 --> 00:16:40,372
some thieves left after all.
250
00:16:40,455 --> 00:16:42,958
What do we do?
251
00:16:43,041 --> 00:16:45,836
That shaman was also part of the thieves.
252
00:16:45,919 --> 00:16:47,671
When she was cursing the king,
253
00:16:47,754 --> 00:16:50,257
wasn't it as if Song had
254
00:16:50,340 --> 00:16:52,467
return from Byeokcheon?
255
00:16:52,551 --> 00:16:55,971
Gosh, he's going to come back as a ghost
256
00:16:56,054 --> 00:16:58,849
to slice my throat
257
00:16:58,932 --> 00:17:02,227
with a sickle, Won-bo.
258
00:17:02,310 --> 00:17:04,938
Our family isn't the one
259
00:17:05,021 --> 00:17:07,315
Song is cursing, isn't it?
260
00:17:08,734 --> 00:17:09,818
Pardon?
261
00:17:11,945 --> 00:17:13,029
Oh.
262
00:17:14,489 --> 00:17:17,200
Right.
263
00:17:17,284 --> 00:17:18,452
You're right, Won-bo.
264
00:17:18,535 --> 00:17:21,329
He cursed the Lee family,
265
00:17:21,413 --> 00:17:24,082
not the Cho family.
266
00:17:24,166 --> 00:17:26,001
I can't believe I missed that.
267
00:17:28,754 --> 00:17:30,464
But
268
00:17:30,547 --> 00:17:34,259
why is he cursing the royal family
269
00:17:34,342 --> 00:17:36,803
instead of you and me.
270
00:17:36,887 --> 00:17:39,556
Isn't it only natural to curse the person
271
00:17:39,598 --> 00:17:42,142
-who killed him?
-What?
272
00:17:42,184 --> 00:17:44,519
But you were the one who...
273
00:17:44,603 --> 00:17:46,938
Without the King's orders,
how could I have gone
274
00:17:47,022 --> 00:17:48,774
to Byeocheon to subjugate him?
275
00:17:48,857 --> 00:17:52,110
Right. The King's orders.
276
00:17:52,194 --> 00:17:56,281
He was the one who ordered us
277
00:17:56,364 --> 00:17:58,825
to hang that horrible man alive.
278
00:17:58,909 --> 00:18:00,160
We're fine.
279
00:18:00,243 --> 00:18:01,995
Everything
280
00:18:02,078 --> 00:18:04,664
was His Majesty's will.
281
00:18:04,748 --> 00:18:05,749
The Lee family. Yes.
282
00:18:05,832 --> 00:18:09,586
So whether it's a ghost or not,
what does it have to do with our family?
283
00:18:09,669 --> 00:18:10,796
Right.
284
00:18:12,589 --> 00:18:14,341
Anyway,
285
00:18:16,051 --> 00:18:19,554
His Majesty just disgraced our family.
286
00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:23,850
What do you think will happen?
287
00:18:25,977 --> 00:18:30,565
Well, do you have any other plans in mind?
288
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,528
Of course I do.
289
00:18:34,611 --> 00:18:37,906
A crisis is an opportunity.
290
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,783
I'm worried His Majesty
291
00:18:39,866 --> 00:18:43,829
might reinvestigate the Byeokcheon case.
292
00:18:43,912 --> 00:18:45,872
It won't happen.
293
00:18:45,956 --> 00:18:47,666
I'll make sure of it.
294
00:18:49,584 --> 00:18:53,129
I'm actually more afraid of the thieves
than His Majesty.
295
00:18:53,213 --> 00:18:56,174
If there are thieves, I will find them
296
00:18:56,258 --> 00:18:58,385
and stop the reinvestigation
from happening
297
00:18:58,468 --> 00:19:01,221
so don't worry about anything. Understood?
298
00:19:01,304 --> 00:19:02,597
Yes, Won-bo.
299
00:19:03,223 --> 00:19:07,394
Gosh, Won-bo. Damn you, Lees.
300
00:19:33,712 --> 00:19:36,047
What am I supposed to do with this?
301
00:19:36,131 --> 00:19:37,883
Dictation.
302
00:19:37,966 --> 00:19:39,217
What is that?
303
00:19:39,301 --> 00:19:41,928
You will write what I say on the ground.
304
00:19:42,012 --> 00:19:44,014
-With this stick?
-Yes.
305
00:19:44,681 --> 00:19:47,183
Go ahead. I will write it down.
306
00:19:48,226 --> 00:19:50,061
You are a rude lady.
307
00:19:51,605 --> 00:19:53,273
"A rude lady."
308
00:19:53,356 --> 00:19:55,442
You are an awful lady.
309
00:19:55,525 --> 00:19:57,569
You are a ridiculous woman
310
00:19:57,652 --> 00:19:59,362
who counts her chicken
311
00:19:59,446 --> 00:20:02,032
before they hatch.
312
00:20:02,115 --> 00:20:04,784
I am a man who has an ideal woman.
313
00:20:04,868 --> 00:20:07,329
How could you be so cold-hearted
314
00:20:07,412 --> 00:20:09,331
like an icicle on the North Pole
315
00:20:09,414 --> 00:20:11,666
and just say whatever you want
before leaving?
316
00:20:11,750 --> 00:20:14,210
Is this
for the Minister of Personnel's daughter?
317
00:20:14,294 --> 00:20:16,880
I can still see those
arrogant back of yours
318
00:20:16,963 --> 00:20:18,048
which makes me so angry
319
00:20:18,131 --> 00:20:20,383
and my head is about to burst.
320
00:20:20,467 --> 00:20:22,928
The Minister of Personnel's daughter?
I don't care.
321
00:20:23,011 --> 00:20:25,639
A lady who only has a pretty face?
I care even less.
322
00:20:25,722 --> 00:20:27,933
Myeong-jin doesn't wait for someone
like you.
323
00:20:28,016 --> 00:20:30,894
Myeong-jin is a loser.
324
00:20:30,977 --> 00:20:33,313
Someone warm and kind.
325
00:20:33,396 --> 00:20:35,523
Someone who will appreciate
what I'm worth.
326
00:20:35,607 --> 00:20:38,443
Someone who has beautiful
327
00:20:38,526 --> 00:20:40,278
and special eyes.
328
00:20:40,362 --> 00:20:42,989
Myeong-jin is crazy.
329
00:20:43,573 --> 00:20:45,450
I hate you, so go away.
330
00:20:45,533 --> 00:20:47,577
Go far away!
331
00:20:47,661 --> 00:20:48,787
Did you get all that?
332
00:20:50,747 --> 00:20:53,541
I haven't learned properly,
so I couldn't write it down.
333
00:20:53,625 --> 00:20:57,462
Why weren't you able to say anything
in front of her when you're so good at it?
334
00:20:57,545 --> 00:20:58,838
Good question.
335
00:20:58,922 --> 00:21:00,590
Why do you think I wasn't able to?
336
00:21:00,674 --> 00:21:04,260
Because you were afraid
your mother might smack you with a pestle?
337
00:21:04,344 --> 00:21:07,722
My gosh, you are such a wise apprentice.
338
00:21:07,806 --> 00:21:09,557
How did you know that?
339
00:21:12,018 --> 00:21:15,939
But Master, your emotions were good.
340
00:21:16,022 --> 00:21:19,567
I mean, you seemed a little crazy,
341
00:21:19,651 --> 00:21:22,070
but you said everything you should've.
342
00:21:22,153 --> 00:21:25,073
It makes me feel refreshed
like I drank a cup of iced water.
343
00:21:26,116 --> 00:21:28,994
Since the marriage is off anyway,
if you run into her
344
00:21:29,077 --> 00:21:32,539
tell her everything you just said now.
345
00:21:32,622 --> 00:21:33,707
Try me.
346
00:21:34,541 --> 00:21:36,751
If I run into that icicle lady again,
347
00:21:36,835 --> 00:21:39,254
I will humiliate her good.
348
00:21:39,337 --> 00:21:41,006
Will you be able to do that?
349
00:21:41,089 --> 00:21:42,716
Of course.
350
00:21:43,633 --> 00:21:46,928
My apprentice, write this down.
351
00:21:47,971 --> 00:21:50,223
Yes, Master. Just start talking.
352
00:21:50,849 --> 00:21:52,767
Myeong-jin is brave.
353
00:21:52,851 --> 00:21:54,769
He is indeed a great man.
354
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,148
Myeong-jin is brave.
355
00:21:58,231 --> 00:22:00,275
He is indeed a great man.
356
00:22:02,193 --> 00:22:04,320
Well, look at you.
357
00:22:04,404 --> 00:22:06,364
You really learned all the letters?
358
00:22:06,448 --> 00:22:07,657
Yes, Master.
359
00:22:07,741 --> 00:22:10,910
If you tell me to memorize something,
I memorize it.
360
00:22:12,662 --> 00:22:15,331
-You is your master?
-You are.
361
00:22:15,415 --> 00:22:16,708
Who's your apprentice?
362
00:22:16,791 --> 00:22:18,043
Of course, it's you.
363
00:22:22,589 --> 00:22:23,798
Oh, hello.
364
00:22:26,176 --> 00:22:27,343
Eunuch Go.
365
00:22:28,887 --> 00:22:30,680
I came by to ask you something.
366
00:22:30,764 --> 00:22:32,265
Come on in.
367
00:22:40,128 --> 00:22:43,506
Lightning struck and the plum tree caught on fire.
368
00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:45,800
And it smelled like sulfur.
369
00:22:45,884 --> 00:22:50,221
But there's no way a fire will last that long
with just sulfur alone.
370
00:22:50,305 --> 00:22:53,183
If it's mixed with something
and brushed on the tree,
371
00:22:53,266 --> 00:22:55,226
it could be possible.
372
00:22:56,269 --> 00:22:58,855
What if it was mixed with niter?
373
00:23:01,107 --> 00:23:02,442
What's a niter?
374
00:23:02,525 --> 00:23:04,360
It's used to make gunpowder.
375
00:23:04,444 --> 00:23:07,906
And one more thing. Maybe beeswax?
376
00:23:07,989 --> 00:23:10,617
Isn't beeswax used to make valuable candles?
377
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:12,869
If those three things were mixed
378
00:23:12,952 --> 00:23:16,790
and if someone lit the tree on fire
when the lighting hit
379
00:23:16,873 --> 00:23:22,670
it could've fooled people into thinking
that it was the actual lightning.
380
00:23:22,754 --> 00:23:26,049
Wow. You're good, Myeong-jin.
381
00:23:28,218 --> 00:23:29,260
But
382
00:23:29,344 --> 00:23:32,931
who could get those three ingredients?
383
00:23:38,394 --> 00:23:40,355
I should return to the palace.
384
00:23:40,438 --> 00:23:41,689
I should get going too.
385
00:23:47,028 --> 00:23:51,991
It may be His Highness' orders,
but nothing's free in the world.
386
00:23:52,075 --> 00:23:56,538
His Highness wants everything handed to him
on a silver platter.
387
00:23:56,621 --> 00:23:57,914
Gosh.
388
00:23:58,665 --> 00:24:01,876
So would you like me to go to the palace
389
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,296
and tell him that?
390
00:24:05,380 --> 00:24:06,714
Well...
391
00:24:07,966 --> 00:24:10,093
No, of course not.
392
00:24:10,176 --> 00:24:12,929
My master likes to talk to himself
393
00:24:13,012 --> 00:24:15,348
so that's what he was doing.
394
00:24:15,974 --> 00:24:19,352
Myeong-jin does that out of habit sometimes.
395
00:24:19,435 --> 00:24:20,979
Well, it's almost lunchtime...
396
00:24:21,062 --> 00:24:24,107
I'll buy lunch in
His Highness' stead.
397
00:24:24,190 --> 00:24:26,985
Oh, I'm very grateful.
398
00:24:30,029 --> 00:24:32,740
I prepared something in advance
because I knew you were
399
00:24:32,824 --> 00:24:34,868
-such a generous person.
-Prepared what?
400
00:24:34,951 --> 00:24:36,327
Master Kim!
401
00:24:36,411 --> 00:24:38,204
Come on in.
402
00:24:39,873 --> 00:24:42,417
I hope I came at the right time.
403
00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:44,752
Perfect timing.
404
00:24:44,836 --> 00:24:47,839
I knew you were going to treat us,
so I ordered beforehand.
405
00:24:49,048 --> 00:24:50,550
Gosh.
406
00:24:56,890 --> 00:24:59,559
-Thank you, Scholar Park.
-Thank you.
407
00:25:09,444 --> 00:25:12,155
-Enjoy.
-Thank you.
408
00:25:27,754 --> 00:25:30,882
It's delicious.
409
00:25:30,965 --> 00:25:34,302
I thought I won't be able to have
any lunch today.
410
00:25:34,385 --> 00:25:36,679
Does His Highness
not give you anything to eat?
411
00:25:37,555 --> 00:25:38,806
Of course, not.
412
00:25:42,518 --> 00:25:46,105
The royal kitchen is overflowing with food,
413
00:25:46,189 --> 00:25:48,733
but I'm just a mere eunuch of the East Palace
414
00:25:48,816 --> 00:25:51,361
who only gets this much salary.
415
00:25:51,444 --> 00:25:55,073
If I miss lunchtime,
no one will get me lunch.
416
00:25:55,740 --> 00:26:00,161
And His Highness makes me run
so many errands.
417
00:26:00,245 --> 00:26:01,829
Go here, go there.
418
00:26:01,913 --> 00:26:03,831
Do this, do that.
419
00:26:03,915 --> 00:26:05,667
After I run all his errands,
420
00:26:05,750 --> 00:26:09,170
sometimes I find myself
drinking a bowl of water for dinner.
421
00:26:09,254 --> 00:26:11,631
But he never once asked me
422
00:26:11,714 --> 00:26:13,800
if I had dinner.
423
00:26:17,929 --> 00:26:20,682
-What did I tell you?
-Gosh.
424
00:26:20,765 --> 00:26:22,558
What do you think, Scholar Park?
425
00:26:25,561 --> 00:26:30,608
Everyone looks up to him calling him
"Your Highness,"
426
00:26:30,692 --> 00:26:33,653
so how could he know
what the lowly people are going through?
427
00:26:34,570 --> 00:26:37,115
I think His Highness has a lot of problems.
428
00:26:38,241 --> 00:26:39,534
Have a drink.
429
00:26:39,617 --> 00:26:41,953
Here. Let's all have a drink.
430
00:26:46,916 --> 00:26:48,459
He has a lot of problems.
431
00:26:56,384 --> 00:26:59,554
His Highness is traveling in disguise?
432
00:27:00,596 --> 00:27:02,432
Manyeondang...
433
00:27:17,238 --> 00:27:19,866
For the time being, put everything aside
434
00:27:19,949 --> 00:27:21,534
and follow Go Sun-dol.
435
00:27:21,617 --> 00:27:25,038
Find out where he goes, what he does,
436
00:27:25,997 --> 00:27:27,790
and who he meets.
437
00:27:30,376 --> 00:27:33,338
Do not miss him for a second.
438
00:27:33,421 --> 00:27:34,505
Do you understand?
439
00:27:35,673 --> 00:27:36,758
Yes, My Lord.
440
00:27:41,262 --> 00:27:43,306
Beeswax is quite valuable,
441
00:27:43,389 --> 00:27:46,309
but you can buy it
at the market pretty easily.
442
00:27:46,392 --> 00:27:48,978
He could get niter from the Weapons Bureau.
443
00:27:50,438 --> 00:27:51,689
But what about the sulfur?
444
00:27:51,773 --> 00:27:54,025
We'll find out
once we question the merchants.
445
00:27:54,108 --> 00:27:55,401
I'll try to find out
446
00:27:55,485 --> 00:27:57,862
who bought the three items
around the same time.
447
00:27:58,404 --> 00:27:59,739
How long will it take?
448
00:28:00,365 --> 00:28:02,075
I'll figure it out in five days.
449
00:28:02,158 --> 00:28:05,578
Be careful. Do not get hurt.
450
00:28:07,288 --> 00:28:08,373
Yes, Your Highness.
451
00:28:14,670 --> 00:28:16,339
You'll need it.
452
00:28:16,422 --> 00:28:18,466
You lost three nyangs, didn't you?
453
00:28:20,093 --> 00:28:22,428
I will be rooting for the War Department today.
454
00:28:22,512 --> 00:28:24,764
I bet three nyangs on your team.
455
00:28:24,847 --> 00:28:25,848
Right.
456
00:28:37,777 --> 00:28:39,695
When I heard you were playing,
457
00:28:39,779 --> 00:28:41,572
I bet on the Crown Prince's guards.
458
00:28:41,656 --> 00:28:45,952
I am very quick on my feet.
459
00:28:48,955 --> 00:28:49,997
Then...
460
00:28:50,081 --> 00:28:53,459
But I'll take this
461
00:28:53,543 --> 00:28:55,044
since refusing would be rude.
462
00:28:58,297 --> 00:29:00,633
I like money.
463
00:29:14,105 --> 00:29:15,565
You came such a long way.
464
00:29:15,648 --> 00:29:18,818
I should give you some allowance
for your travel, my nephew.
465
00:29:18,901 --> 00:29:21,237
This is about showing
the power of our family.
466
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,364
Of course I'll travel as far as I have to.
467
00:29:31,581 --> 00:29:33,374
What did you say?
468
00:29:34,208 --> 00:29:36,127
The Confucian scholars did what?
469
00:29:36,836 --> 00:29:39,547
Your Majesty,
we're here to give you a piece of advice.
470
00:29:39,630 --> 00:29:41,174
Long ago, thunder and lightning
471
00:29:41,257 --> 00:29:43,551
were considered omens of the sky.
472
00:29:43,634 --> 00:29:47,305
Please see to the revelation
473
00:29:47,388 --> 00:29:49,432
and try to understand what the sky wants
474
00:29:49,515 --> 00:29:51,934
and stop the disaster.
475
00:29:52,018 --> 00:29:54,270
The lightning bolt that
struck the plum tree
476
00:29:54,353 --> 00:29:57,732
is obviously the sky punishing us.
477
00:29:57,815 --> 00:30:01,569
So we are begging you
to respond to the will of the Heaven
478
00:30:01,652 --> 00:30:06,407
and fulfill the late King's duties.
479
00:30:06,491 --> 00:30:10,119
Long ago, a benevolent king...
480
00:30:11,162 --> 00:30:12,914
Seongju Magistrate Cho Du-won.
481
00:30:16,334 --> 00:30:18,377
Yangju Magistrate Cho Won-young.
482
00:30:22,673 --> 00:30:25,426
Jeolla Commander in Chief Kim Hyeong-woon.
483
00:30:28,095 --> 00:30:29,889
Half of them are from the Cho family
484
00:30:29,972 --> 00:30:33,100
and the other half are the in-laws
or cousins of the Cho family.
485
00:30:33,184 --> 00:30:35,478
They're all related!
486
00:30:38,481 --> 00:30:43,611
All this came
487
00:30:43,694 --> 00:30:45,530
from that great Cho family.
488
00:30:46,072 --> 00:30:47,698
Fine.
489
00:30:47,782 --> 00:30:51,244
How shall I repent my sins
490
00:30:51,327 --> 00:30:54,247
for my virtue to reach the sky?
491
00:31:01,087 --> 00:31:03,881
Lightning bolts are a sign that
492
00:31:03,965 --> 00:31:06,092
God is angry at us.
493
00:31:06,175 --> 00:31:11,180
His anger has reached
the plum tree in the palace,
494
00:31:11,264 --> 00:31:14,559
so of course
there's a reason why it happened.
495
00:31:14,642 --> 00:31:17,144
-How strange.
-Watch your mouth.
496
00:31:17,228 --> 00:31:18,980
During the reign of the late king,
497
00:31:19,063 --> 00:31:21,941
sometimes there were thunder
and lightning without reason.
498
00:31:22,024 --> 00:31:24,569
And even if God is angry at us,
499
00:31:24,652 --> 00:31:27,822
how could you blame His Majesty?
500
00:31:27,905 --> 00:31:31,367
This country is overflowing
with corrupt officials who don't know shame.
501
00:31:31,450 --> 00:31:34,370
If God is punishing this country,
502
00:31:34,453 --> 00:31:36,664
he must be punishing them.
503
00:31:36,747 --> 00:31:38,416
Your Majesty.
504
00:31:38,499 --> 00:31:42,211
Please show compassion for the people
who are trembling in fear
505
00:31:42,295 --> 00:31:44,422
after the terrible disaster.
506
00:31:45,172 --> 00:31:49,010
Please show compassion for the people.
507
00:31:56,601 --> 00:31:58,227
By doing gamseon...
508
00:31:58,311 --> 00:32:00,605
GAMSEON:
REDUCING THE NUMBER OF SIDE DISHES
509
00:32:01,689 --> 00:32:02,732
Why you...
510
00:32:03,232 --> 00:32:06,569
Please show self-restraint
in front of God,
511
00:32:06,652 --> 00:32:07,945
Your Majesty.
512
00:32:10,364 --> 00:32:12,116
Gamseon...
513
00:32:13,284 --> 00:32:17,455
Lord Cho!
What you're doing is blasphemous.
514
00:32:17,538 --> 00:32:20,041
How dare a subject ask His Majesty
515
00:32:20,124 --> 00:32:22,585
to do gamseon!
516
00:32:22,668 --> 00:32:24,295
Your Majesty, this is nonsense.
517
00:32:24,378 --> 00:32:26,130
Do not listen to them.
518
00:32:34,805 --> 00:32:36,182
If I do gamseon...
519
00:32:38,934 --> 00:32:40,936
If I do that,
520
00:32:43,773 --> 00:32:46,484
will I be able to repent for
my lack of discretion
521
00:32:48,736 --> 00:32:53,532
and calm those people outside?
522
00:32:53,616 --> 00:32:55,576
-Your Majesty.
-Your Majesty
523
00:32:55,660 --> 00:32:57,203
Your Majesty.
524
00:33:09,465 --> 00:33:10,675
Gamseon?
525
00:33:10,758 --> 00:33:14,053
And it was Uncle
who made the suggestion?
526
00:33:14,136 --> 00:33:15,471
Yes, Your Highness.
527
00:33:20,351 --> 00:33:22,687
They are so vulgar, aren't they?
528
00:33:23,646 --> 00:33:27,525
It's not new that they're trying
to control His Majesty
529
00:33:27,608 --> 00:33:29,527
by using the power of their family.
530
00:33:29,610 --> 00:33:33,948
His Majesty will accept
the gamseon in the end.
531
00:33:34,031 --> 00:33:37,284
No one can beat them.
532
00:34:22,371 --> 00:34:24,832
It's good. It has a clean taste.
533
00:34:38,345 --> 00:34:40,473
His Majesty wasn't the only one
534
00:34:41,974 --> 00:34:45,311
who has been enjoying the delicacies.
535
00:34:47,855 --> 00:34:49,273
Understood?
536
00:34:50,399 --> 00:34:53,068
-Bottoms up.
-Cheers.
537
00:34:54,779 --> 00:34:57,156
Gosh, you truly are amazing.
538
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:02,244
We were almost fired after
what happened at Byeokcheon,
539
00:35:02,328 --> 00:35:05,414
but you are the one who turned that
into an opportunity to
540
00:35:05,498 --> 00:35:07,917
strengthen our power.
541
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,043
Won-bo.
542
00:35:09,794 --> 00:35:11,462
I will always look up to you.
543
00:35:12,046 --> 00:35:13,047
Not this one?
544
00:35:13,964 --> 00:35:15,591
I will always trust you.
545
00:35:16,926 --> 00:35:18,010
You give it to him.
546
00:35:19,678 --> 00:35:20,805
He's eating it.
547
00:35:21,764 --> 00:35:22,973
Won-bo.
548
00:35:29,772 --> 00:35:32,566
Tell Cho Won-bo that
549
00:35:32,650 --> 00:35:36,237
I have repented
550
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,156
after eating this meal with five side dishes.
551
00:35:44,620 --> 00:35:49,250
The power His Majesty is wielding
552
00:35:49,333 --> 00:35:53,337
was given by me and my family.
553
00:35:53,420 --> 00:35:58,217
I was just letting him know that
he should never forget it,
554
00:35:58,300 --> 00:36:00,261
so please don't worry, Your Highness.
555
00:36:02,638 --> 00:36:06,642
I heard he overturned
the royal table in rage.
556
00:36:08,018 --> 00:36:10,229
The royal table shows what is going on
557
00:36:10,312 --> 00:36:12,731
in the eight providences.
558
00:36:12,815 --> 00:36:15,651
He shouldn't be ignoring
the efforts of his people.
559
00:36:27,288 --> 00:36:33,168
I'm sure His Majesty learned his lesson.
560
00:37:11,916 --> 00:37:15,252
You must not mess with the Cho family.
561
00:37:17,421 --> 00:37:20,049
It would be best
562
00:37:20,132 --> 00:37:22,885
if you keep that in mind, Your Majesty.
563
00:37:39,068 --> 00:37:41,320
Excuse me.
564
00:37:41,403 --> 00:37:43,072
Where's the Weapons Bureau?
565
00:37:43,155 --> 00:37:45,783
-Turn right at the corner.
-Thank you.
566
00:37:56,794 --> 00:37:59,129
I'm here under the orders
of the Crown Prince.
567
00:37:59,213 --> 00:38:02,925
Did anyone take niter from here recently?
568
00:38:03,842 --> 00:38:05,260
Wait here.
569
00:38:23,278 --> 00:38:24,947
You're sure it's him?
570
00:38:25,030 --> 00:38:26,031
Yes.
571
00:38:27,908 --> 00:38:30,077
I'll take this ledger to His Highness.
572
00:38:47,302 --> 00:38:49,388
Why would he?
573
00:38:59,356 --> 00:39:00,858
Thanks to you,
574
00:39:00,941 --> 00:39:03,110
my mother's back pain has gotten better.
575
00:39:03,193 --> 00:39:06,405
My mother wants to treat you to a meal,
so please come visit us.
576
00:39:06,488 --> 00:39:08,907
I'm afraid your mother's back pain
might come back,
577
00:39:08,991 --> 00:39:11,535
so please tell her
she doesn't have to cook for me.
578
00:39:12,077 --> 00:39:13,120
Thank you.
579
00:39:13,203 --> 00:39:14,705
Any other suggestions?
580
00:39:32,014 --> 00:39:33,223
Eunuch Go.
581
00:39:38,020 --> 00:39:39,146
What brings you here?
582
00:39:40,355 --> 00:39:42,316
Nothing. It's nothing.
583
00:39:42,399 --> 00:39:44,026
It can't be nothing.
584
00:39:44,651 --> 00:39:46,653
Are you under His Highness' orders?
585
00:39:47,321 --> 00:39:48,822
No.
586
00:39:49,406 --> 00:39:53,035
I left the palace for personal reasons
and saw you while I was passing by.
587
00:39:53,118 --> 00:39:56,455
Yes. I was passing by.
588
00:40:01,418 --> 00:40:03,378
Take care, Section Chief Han.
589
00:40:18,602 --> 00:40:21,438
His Highness will be so heartbroken
590
00:40:21,522 --> 00:40:23,565
when he sees this ledger.
591
00:40:27,069 --> 00:40:29,488
Did you look into who bought sulfur?
592
00:40:30,197 --> 00:40:33,283
We went to every apothecary
to find who outbought the sulfur.
593
00:40:42,084 --> 00:40:44,586
Did you ask around the marketplace?
594
00:40:44,670 --> 00:40:46,672
It's in progress.
595
00:40:46,755 --> 00:40:50,175
There are a lot of merchants
who sell beeswax in Hanyang.
596
00:40:50,259 --> 00:40:54,429
But if we find someone
who bought sulfur and niter,
597
00:40:54,513 --> 00:40:56,431
we won't have to ask around anymore.
598
00:40:56,515 --> 00:40:57,641
Isn't that right?
599
00:41:02,396 --> 00:41:05,983
He was a big spender.
He paid me good money
600
00:41:06,066 --> 00:41:08,694
and took all the beeswax I had.
601
00:41:10,612 --> 00:41:15,159
May I take this ledger?
602
00:41:15,242 --> 00:41:18,370
But which department are you from?
603
00:41:25,544 --> 00:41:29,506
Oh, I had no idea you were here
under His Highness' orders.
604
00:41:29,590 --> 00:41:31,717
By all means, take it.
605
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:32,885
-Goodbye then.
-Bye.
606
00:41:49,526 --> 00:41:50,777
Gosh.
607
00:41:50,861 --> 00:41:52,196
Oh no. It's a mess.
608
00:41:52,237 --> 00:41:55,032
Are you okay? I'm sorry.
I had a lot on my mind.
609
00:41:55,115 --> 00:41:59,161
You should watch where you're going.
610
00:41:59,244 --> 00:42:01,163
It will take forever
611
00:42:01,246 --> 00:42:03,081
to tack these up again.
612
00:42:03,790 --> 00:42:06,793
Forget it. You can just go.
613
00:42:08,837 --> 00:42:09,838
I'm sorry.
614
00:42:14,176 --> 00:42:17,387
When will I stack all this?
615
00:42:17,471 --> 00:42:18,555
Gosh.
616
00:42:39,743 --> 00:42:41,578
Who did you say?
617
00:42:42,537 --> 00:42:47,793
The one who bought beeswax, niter
and sulfur at the same time is...
618
00:42:52,297 --> 00:42:54,675
It's true.
619
00:42:54,758 --> 00:42:57,177
I got the ledger from all three places.
620
00:43:02,474 --> 00:43:05,769
Let me see. I must check for myself.
621
00:43:15,112 --> 00:43:17,990
Beeswax, niter, and sulfur.
622
00:43:18,073 --> 00:43:21,326
So it wasn't the lightning bolt
that set the plum tree on fire.
623
00:43:22,786 --> 00:43:24,705
It was him?
624
00:43:36,925 --> 00:43:39,094
What are the soldiers doing here?
625
00:43:39,177 --> 00:43:41,096
Do not leave a single person out.
626
00:43:53,388 --> 00:43:54,473
Mother.
627
00:43:55,182 --> 00:43:56,183
Mother.
628
00:44:02,397 --> 00:44:03,940
What do you think you're doing?
629
00:44:04,024 --> 00:44:06,234
I am under His Majesty's orders.
630
00:44:06,318 --> 00:44:07,486
His Majesty's orders?
631
00:44:07,569 --> 00:44:10,364
Do you even know who I am?
632
00:44:10,447 --> 00:44:13,784
Sinner Han Jung-eon. Come on out
and receive His Majesty's orders.
633
00:44:32,177 --> 00:44:35,013
-Father.
-His Majesty has ordered that Han Jung-eon
634
00:44:35,097 --> 00:44:37,474
is to be taken to
the Royal Inspector's Office
635
00:44:37,557 --> 00:44:40,519
for mocking and insulting
the royal family.
636
00:44:40,602 --> 00:44:43,021
What are you doing? Arrest him.
637
00:44:43,105 --> 00:44:44,231
Yes, sir.
638
00:44:47,317 --> 00:44:49,403
Mocking and insulting the royal family?
639
00:44:49,486 --> 00:44:51,238
Explain what's going on right now!
640
00:44:51,321 --> 00:44:52,364
Get out of the way.
641
00:44:53,031 --> 00:44:54,116
Stop!
642
00:45:00,122 --> 00:45:01,415
I'll explain.
643
00:45:04,626 --> 00:45:07,212
Your Highness, what are you...
644
00:45:11,842 --> 00:45:12,968
What brings you here?
645
00:45:13,051 --> 00:45:15,011
Nothing. It's nothing.
646
00:45:15,595 --> 00:45:17,472
Was he spying on me?
647
00:45:20,851 --> 00:45:23,979
You want to know
why your father is under arrest?
648
00:45:25,063 --> 00:45:27,774
As you know, when the shaman talked
about the curse,
649
00:45:27,858 --> 00:45:29,985
the plum tree in the palace was
650
00:45:30,068 --> 00:45:32,821
struck by lightning
651
00:45:32,904 --> 00:45:34,573
as if the curse was coming true.
652
00:45:34,656 --> 00:45:36,992
Plum tree is "Lee" in Chinese characters,
653
00:45:37,075 --> 00:45:40,746
so it shows that the shaman's curse is
654
00:45:40,829 --> 00:45:43,290
the will of God.
655
00:45:44,291 --> 00:45:47,711
But that wasn't the truth.
656
00:45:47,794 --> 00:45:50,005
The burning plum tree wasn't
657
00:45:50,088 --> 00:45:53,383
God's doing, but a human's.
658
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,345
He used niter and sulfer
659
00:45:57,429 --> 00:46:00,807
to blow up the tree
as if it was stuck by lightning
660
00:46:00,891 --> 00:46:03,727
and coated it with beeswax
so the fire won't go out.
661
00:46:03,810 --> 00:46:06,354
It burned for so long that it was strange.
662
00:46:06,438 --> 00:46:09,232
Don't you think that's very creative,
663
00:46:09,316 --> 00:46:10,442
Lord Han?
664
00:46:12,194 --> 00:46:14,654
I heard a servant of yours bought
665
00:46:14,738 --> 00:46:17,532
beeswax as per your orders.
666
00:46:17,616 --> 00:46:19,284
Is that true?
667
00:46:19,910 --> 00:46:22,496
No, Your Highness.
It was under my orders.
668
00:46:22,579 --> 00:46:26,458
I needed the beeswax for something else.
My father has nothing to do with this.
669
00:46:26,541 --> 00:46:30,545
But I heard Lord Han was the one
who took niter from the Weapons Bureau.
670
00:46:30,629 --> 00:46:32,631
Yes, Your Highness.
671
00:46:33,507 --> 00:46:35,759
And you also went to the apothecary
672
00:46:35,842 --> 00:46:37,636
to buy sulfur.
673
00:46:39,304 --> 00:46:42,766
Yes, Your Highness.
674
00:46:44,267 --> 00:46:47,229
You bought niter and sulfur which are
used to make gunpowder
675
00:46:47,312 --> 00:46:50,065
for personal reasons?
676
00:46:50,148 --> 00:46:52,943
Surprisingly, everything you bought
677
00:46:55,153 --> 00:46:56,571
was used
678
00:46:57,823 --> 00:46:59,783
in an incident
679
00:46:59,866 --> 00:47:03,370
that threatened
and curse the royal family.
680
00:47:05,539 --> 00:47:09,584
What do you think, Lord Han?
681
00:47:12,003 --> 00:47:17,717
No one would do that unless they plan
to commit treason against the royal family.
682
00:47:19,970 --> 00:47:21,721
-My Lady.
-My Lady.
683
00:47:22,389 --> 00:47:23,765
No, Father.
684
00:47:23,849 --> 00:47:26,142
How can you even say that word?
685
00:47:30,856 --> 00:47:34,943
There is no greater sin than treason.
686
00:47:35,026 --> 00:47:37,320
Treason is never accepted
by heaven and earth
687
00:47:37,404 --> 00:47:39,489
and is never forgiven by the descendants.
688
00:47:39,573 --> 00:47:42,158
The one who leads
the treason will be executed
689
00:47:42,242 --> 00:47:44,286
and this family will either become slaves
690
00:47:44,369 --> 00:47:46,246
or be exiled.
691
00:47:46,329 --> 00:47:49,708
It's only right that
his whole family is wiped out.
692
00:47:49,791 --> 00:47:52,419
You must know that
693
00:47:52,502 --> 00:47:54,713
that is the law, Section Chief Han.
694
00:47:56,715 --> 00:48:00,176
Your Highness,
please give me time to reinvestigate.
695
00:48:00,260 --> 00:48:03,221
I will prove my father's innocence.
696
00:48:03,305 --> 00:48:06,433
Is His Majesty's orders
different from what I said?
697
00:48:06,892 --> 00:48:08,393
No, Your Highness.
698
00:48:10,562 --> 00:48:11,646
Stop.
699
00:48:14,816 --> 00:48:16,651
Open the shed.
700
00:48:16,735 --> 00:48:18,612
Pardon? Why?
701
00:48:21,781 --> 00:48:25,327
I will show you that
Lord Han
702
00:48:25,410 --> 00:48:27,078
and Section Chief Han is innocent.
703
00:49:13,500 --> 00:49:16,336
What an outstanding candle
made of high-quality beeswax.
704
00:49:16,419 --> 00:49:19,297
You needed the beeswax
to make these candles
705
00:49:27,430 --> 00:49:30,266
and a wedding is a village feast.
706
00:49:30,350 --> 00:49:33,436
I guess you were planning to throw
a big party for your son.
707
00:49:34,562 --> 00:49:37,357
Fire pouches for the firework festival.
708
00:49:43,113 --> 00:49:45,281
That's where the sulfur was used.
709
00:49:45,365 --> 00:49:48,284
Then there's only one thing left.
710
00:49:51,621 --> 00:49:53,915
Lord Han, where's the niter?
711
00:50:17,897 --> 00:50:19,983
Special Capital Magistrate Min
712
00:50:20,066 --> 00:50:21,985
asked me to get niter
713
00:50:22,068 --> 00:50:24,237
to repair the roof tiles.
714
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,365
He was very fond of the pavilion
his ancestors used to cherish,
715
00:50:27,449 --> 00:50:30,452
so he used to take good care of it
716
00:50:30,535 --> 00:50:33,538
when the roof was damaged
due to heavy rain.
717
00:50:33,621 --> 00:50:35,457
That's why he needed the niter.
718
00:50:35,540 --> 00:50:38,835
I was going to send it with Seong-on
719
00:50:39,753 --> 00:50:42,756
when he was supposed to visit
Special Capital Magistrate Min.
720
00:50:43,882 --> 00:50:46,509
But due to his death,
721
00:50:46,593 --> 00:50:48,720
it never found its owner.
722
00:50:57,645 --> 00:50:58,730
Did you hear all that?
723
00:50:59,397 --> 00:51:03,109
Does this prove their innocence?
724
00:51:05,028 --> 00:51:06,529
Yes, Your Highness.
725
00:51:06,613 --> 00:51:09,449
Now tell me.
726
00:51:11,034 --> 00:51:13,161
Who
727
00:51:15,205 --> 00:51:16,372
sent you?
728
00:51:17,832 --> 00:51:22,045
Your Majesty, I sent the soldiers
of the Royal Inspector's Office
729
00:51:22,128 --> 00:51:24,130
as per your orders
to Lord Han's house.
730
00:51:25,048 --> 00:51:27,550
You must punish them
according to the law.
731
00:51:44,651 --> 00:51:47,028
Tell the person who sent you
what you saw today.
732
00:51:47,112 --> 00:51:51,241
I will let His Majesty know that
Lord Han is innocent.
733
00:51:51,324 --> 00:51:52,575
Yes, Your Highness.
734
00:51:54,494 --> 00:51:55,578
Let's go.
735
00:52:25,441 --> 00:52:26,484
Your Highness.
736
00:52:41,124 --> 00:52:46,337
I thought you didn't trust me anymore.
737
00:52:50,758 --> 00:52:53,720
A wise young man once told me,
"Mu-shin-bul-lip."
738
00:52:53,803 --> 00:52:55,930
Without trust, we cannot stand.
739
00:52:56,014 --> 00:52:57,765
If you must abandon something,
740
00:52:57,849 --> 00:52:59,851
the first thing you should abandon
741
00:52:59,934 --> 00:53:02,020
is the soldiers, then the food,
742
00:53:02,103 --> 00:53:06,232
but trust is something
you must never let go of.
743
00:53:06,524 --> 00:53:09,068
I'll be able to protect
the country that way.
744
00:53:09,152 --> 00:53:13,489
Protecting my country
and protecting my people are no different.
745
00:53:13,573 --> 00:53:15,366
Is it Go Sun-dol
746
00:53:17,994 --> 00:53:19,537
who said that?
747
00:53:20,705 --> 00:53:24,792
He also said "Bul-sil-gi-chin."
748
00:53:24,876 --> 00:53:26,711
A great future King
749
00:53:26,794 --> 00:53:29,088
should never lose those close to him.
750
00:53:30,381 --> 00:53:32,217
If I didn't want to lose you,
751
00:53:35,428 --> 00:53:37,096
I had to trust you.
752
00:53:37,180 --> 00:53:39,432
You must've contemplated a lot
753
00:53:41,643 --> 00:53:45,355
about why we would've needed
754
00:53:47,398 --> 00:53:52,237
niter, beeswax, and sulfur
755
00:53:53,613 --> 00:53:55,698
to believe me and my family.
756
00:54:04,958 --> 00:54:07,669
There was a ledger for sure.
757
00:54:07,752 --> 00:54:09,545
When did this get swapped?
758
00:54:10,672 --> 00:54:13,341
Gosh. Oh no. It's a mess.
759
00:54:15,385 --> 00:54:17,720
I ran into a merchant on my way out.
760
00:54:17,804 --> 00:54:19,806
He must've swapped the ledgers.
761
00:54:19,889 --> 00:54:22,684
Someone was following me.
762
00:54:24,310 --> 00:54:26,145
Who do you think took it?
763
00:54:26,229 --> 00:54:30,692
Lord Han's enemy
and the King's father-in-law, Cho Won-bo.
764
00:54:30,775 --> 00:54:33,194
If he really was the one
who swapped the ledgers,
765
00:54:33,278 --> 00:54:35,196
he must know what they mean.
766
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:39,784
And if he knows what they mean,
he must've already taken measures.
767
00:54:40,952 --> 00:54:42,996
He's not the one to miss an opportunity.
768
00:54:43,079 --> 00:54:45,957
And he never hesitates
when there is prey in front of him.
769
00:54:46,749 --> 00:54:50,628
-Lord Han and Seong-on are in danger.
-Then you believe that
770
00:54:50,712 --> 00:54:53,339
Lord Han is innocent?
771
00:54:53,423 --> 00:54:56,301
If Lord Han
and Section Chief Han are innocent,
772
00:54:56,384 --> 00:54:57,969
they must've needed
773
00:54:58,052 --> 00:55:00,847
beeswax, niter and sulfur
for something else.
774
00:55:00,930 --> 00:55:03,516
I wonder why they needed all that
at the same time.
775
00:55:05,018 --> 00:55:08,938
Your Highness,
if you open the shed...
776
00:55:09,022 --> 00:55:11,190
We'll be able to know
777
00:55:12,775 --> 00:55:14,360
why they needed them.
778
00:55:15,570 --> 00:55:21,200
-But what if when we open the shed...
-And we don't find what we're looking for?
779
00:55:22,035 --> 00:55:25,038
It will be the same
as ending his political career
780
00:55:25,121 --> 00:55:27,332
and his family will be destroyed.
781
00:55:27,415 --> 00:55:32,003
Then Cho Won-bo and his family
782
00:55:32,086 --> 00:55:36,007
would have gotten rid of their enemy
and have more power than ever.
783
00:55:42,972 --> 00:55:44,098
Your Highness.
784
00:55:45,516 --> 00:55:47,518
Do you really not trust them enough
785
00:55:49,228 --> 00:55:50,772
to open the shed?
786
00:56:05,119 --> 00:56:07,080
Just like you said before,
787
00:56:11,459 --> 00:56:13,669
if I didn't get that ghost's letter...
788
00:56:14,504 --> 00:56:17,382
Your best friend will
stab you in the back...
789
00:56:17,423 --> 00:56:21,135
When I became the Crown Prince,
I decided to let go of all my friendships.
790
00:56:21,219 --> 00:56:24,055
If I didn't get that ghost's letter...
791
00:56:24,138 --> 00:56:25,473
I would've opened that shed
792
00:56:26,682 --> 00:56:29,435
with the trust
793
00:56:30,812 --> 00:56:32,730
of my old friend Seong-on.
794
00:56:44,826 --> 00:56:47,036
I will open that shed.
795
00:56:49,205 --> 00:56:50,873
I will trust
796
00:56:52,542 --> 00:56:54,043
Lord Han and Seong-on.
797
00:57:02,051 --> 00:57:03,302
Will you
798
00:57:08,015 --> 00:57:09,892
be my friend again?
799
00:57:13,521 --> 00:57:14,564
Your Highness.
800
00:57:17,358 --> 00:57:18,776
There wasn't a single moment
801
00:57:20,361 --> 00:57:23,239
when I wasn't your friend.
802
00:57:32,290 --> 00:57:34,125
I don't know what's wrong with me.
803
00:57:37,336 --> 00:57:39,172
I can't stop crying.
804
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:48,890
It's a miracle.
805
00:57:50,808 --> 00:57:54,312
Two people meeting, trusting
and depending on each other.
806
00:57:54,395 --> 00:57:55,480
Yes.
807
00:57:56,898 --> 00:57:58,483
That is a miracle.
808
00:58:01,444 --> 00:58:04,363
I'm planning to make
that miracle every day.
809
00:58:05,990 --> 00:58:09,702
I will have a friend,
I will trust in that friend
810
00:58:09,785 --> 00:58:13,456
and I will protect him.
811
00:58:44,111 --> 00:58:46,030
SPECIAL THANKS TO YOON SEOK-HYUN
812
00:59:04,632 --> 00:59:06,884
OUR BLOOMING YOUTH
813
00:59:07,134 --> 00:59:09,845
Will you be my friend too?
814
00:59:09,929 --> 00:59:12,139
His Highness, the future king,
815
00:59:12,223 --> 00:59:15,560
is someone who can't even
keep his private and public life separate.
816
00:59:15,643 --> 00:59:18,771
Using the misfortune of
the royal family...
817
00:59:18,854 --> 00:59:22,692
-Why are you looking at me like that?
-Bring him to me alive.
818
00:59:22,775 --> 00:59:24,902
I will do as your ordered, Your Majesty.
819
00:59:25,695 --> 00:59:28,406
All the cases are pointing to Byeokcheon.
820
00:59:28,489 --> 00:59:29,657
Enter.
821
00:59:29,740 --> 00:59:32,535
The Crown Prince can't be
involved in political affairs.
822
00:59:32,618 --> 00:59:35,140
I hear you're from Byeokcheon.
823
00:59:35,173 --> 00:59:39,904
