[ Episode 2 ]
Father.
Mother.
He's the queen's father.
Your twin sister, who committed high treason.
Those people...
What would happen to my parents?
They're being taken to the Royal Investigation Bureau.
They probably won't be okay.
But they probably won't be executed.
Would I be able to meet with them?
I've been thinking about them for ten years.
Even though I have no memories of their faces nor voices.
I can't part with them like this.
I should at least see their faces and hear them...
Don't act rashly.
This isn't just your personal matter.
They're the queen's parents who can't even take care of her body.
How dare you touch the queen's body?
Leave immediately!
You're the one who has to leave.
Grandmother.
- Lead His Majesty away. - Yes.
Stop!
Don't even take another step.
[ Great Royal Dowager Queen Min ]
What are you doing?
Take the body away right now.
It's the body of the traitor.
Your Majesty, you will fall ill again.
Please collect yourself!
- Please be careful, Your Majesty! - Eun Ki.
Eun Ki. No, Eun Ki!
Eun Ki!
- Eun Ki! - King.
No, Eun Ki!
Eun Ki!
Let go! Eun Ki!
Eun Ki!
No, Eun Ki!
Let go!
Eun Ki.
[ Left State Minister Jo Heung Gyeon ]
Eun Ki!
Eun Ki...
[ Chief State Minister Kim Man Chan ]
Unni.
Unni...
Unni.
It's a fish, isn't it?
There really is a fish.
It's moving toward you.
Eun Bo!
Unni, wait for me!
♪ Hide yourself away. I can see your hair. ♪
You're looking, right?
Are you looking?
Are you looking right now?
Why isn't she looking?
Hey, Kang Eun Ki!
Are you reading a book right now?
While playing hide-and-seek?
While I was hiding?
It's because I couldn't find you anywhere.
You're lying.
You didn't even look, did you?
See?
You came out on your own out of frustration because I didn't look.
That means I won then.
Kang Eun Ki!
Hey, Eun Bo!
Why are you calling your older sister's name like that?
But I find this too frustrating.
We're twins, aren't we?
- Born on the same day at the same time... - You were, but...
she definitely came out to the world first.
You'd better be polite to her.
Yes.
My goodness.
Have you been acting mischievously again?
I told you to behave since your father's friend is here.
How could you be so immature?
This is no good.
Come with me, both of you.
My Lady.
His Excellency is going on an outing.
Okay.
Eun Bo, finish embroidering.
I remember telling you that you're grounded.
Do you really want to go out with Father that much?
Yes.
Do you want to see outside that much?
Need I explain?
But Mother would get very upset.
If so...
I could keep it a secret for you.
You can step out then.
Instead, I'll embroider for you.
Really? Unni!
Tell me all about it when you come back then.
Let's go together.
Let's get scolded twice as much together.
Have you forgotten the house rules?
You should never let anyone outside know
that there are twins in this house.
Father!
Hello, sir.
Are you Eun Ki or Eun Bo?
It's Eun Bo.
Please allow me to come with you.
You'd get scolded by your mother.
I made a doppelganger of myself.
It's Unni.
You love the outside world so much.
I'm starting to get worried.
Even you're making me feel frustrated now.
You're the one who made me this way.
Huh?
It's because every word you've said
made me a lot more curious
about the world than sewing and adorning.
But...
you can't come with us today.
Pardon?
Are you looking for this?
Your Highness, Your Highness!
Why do you want to step out on your own?
My mother lost the trinket she loves.
Didn't you notice how upset she was?
As her child, I should find it for her...
Run, run!
Your Highness, Your Highness!
Your Highness!
Your Highness, Your Highness!
Ouch!
Your High...
Geez!
Your Highness, no!
Stop right there!
Give me!
No!
Just give it to me!
It's not yours!
You stole it, didn't you?
Will you grow up to be a thief?
I found it!
I'm not a thief!
If you found it,
why did you run away with it?
It's because...
You insolent bastards!
Do you even know what this is?
I'll discipline you myself.
You'll be punished severely.
Let go of this!
- Let go! - Let go!
I said, let go!
My father is in critical condition.
He needs money for medicine.
What could a slave do if not risk getting caught?
Is a slave not even allowed to save his father's life?
I don't think there's a law that prevents
a slave from saving his father's life.
But you should apologize.
To yourself for making yourself a thief
and to this young master as well.
Please forgive me.
Please don't...
Please don't kill me.
Please forgive me.
What have you done?
Didn't you hear his sorry situation?
I heard as well.
However, my Joseon is a nation of strict law.
It's a crime to steal.
When the law is lawful and when the citizens are civil,
the country stabilizes, and the king exercises power rightly.
That's how my teacher taught me.
I don't know what you're talking about,
but chase him down if you want and
and take him to the precinct.
Who are you anyway?
Are you an accomplice or a decoy?
I'm neither.
I don't believe you.
Take me to the person who can prove my identity.
If that's impossible,
we can go to the precinct together too.
What did you say?
Not to mention current cultural influences from America,
ignoring the advancement of the administration
is a huge problem for Joseon.
Young people like us should fight against the cabinet members
who are only concerned about their interest with the country in crisis!
But the cultural revolution we long for
shouldn't be limited to guerrillas and self-justification.
As the Four Great Sages taught us, real learning
becomes complete when it actually becomes
useful to people. Don't you agree?
I agree! I agree.
If so, are we all in agreement that we need to lead
the change of Joseon as Confucian scholars?
- Yes! - Yes.
I don't think my father came here today.
What?
You mean your father mingles with those Confucian scholars?
You lie about something you'd get found out
and even lie about your father,
you should be punished for transgressing human relations!
Let's go to the precinct right now.
What?
I'm telling the truth!
My father is their teacher.
If so, tell me his name.
Who's your father?
His name is Kang Yi Soo. He's a teacher at Sungkyunkwan.
Are you happy?
Teacher Kang Yi Soo?
I'll punish you if you lie to me.
Are you sure you responded truthfully?
What right do you have to do this anyway?
Have you heard, "I rule everything above and below the sky."
I'm bound to become the king of this country.
So I have the right.
You mean you're the crown prince or something?
That's correct.
Yes, yes. How important you are.
But thankfully, you're pointing to the ground and sky since you have two hands.
Please become the salt of the earth to the people
just like how Buddha was.
Is that enough for you?
Who's punishing whom?
You're just an impostor.
Fine, let's go to the precinct.
- What did you say? - My lady.
I heard that if I come here,
I'd be able to find out what this is for.
Is that true?
Do you truly believe that Joseon would change by modern development?
It's not my belief, but it's my hope.
Our children would be living and learning in Joseon.
And I hope it won't be the same as it is now.
But the oppression is becoming harsher.
Both the Kim family and Jo Heung Gyeon are running rampant.
At this rate...
they'd blame everything to you
as the teacher of the Confucian scholars.
[ Grandma, how are you? This is Han Dong... ]
This is called an "eyeglass."
You usually use them as a pair and look through them,
but he was only able to get one of them.
That's what it says.
You mean Han Dong said that?
Yes, your grandson.
He said he's worried that you sew with poor vision.
Aigoo...
Aigoo, please don't sleep where it's cold.
Please eat well and be healthy.
Aigoo, aigoo...
Han Dong...
May I help you respond to him by what you just said?
Excuse me?
Yes, yes...
Please don't worry...
about me and...
About me and...
Please...
listen to what your owner says and...
- Please... - Yes.
I don't think there's a law that prevents a slave from saving his father's life.
But you should apologize.
To yourself for making yourself a thief
and to this young master as well.
Looks like you have an urgent matter.
How about you write down your name here before you go?
If my father comes back,
I'll ask him to prove my identity since you wanted that so much.
I'm saying this since you keep looking at the sun.
- What's your name? - Forget it.
A scholar must be responsible for his doubt
and since I'm a man as well...
Do you have an embarrassing name by chance?
What did you say?
Chil Bok? Yang Deuk?
Dol Swoe? Gae Ddong?
Is it one of these?
Is it worse than those?
Kyung.
It's Lee Kyung.
Lee...
Which character is it?
It's Kyung, that means "bright."
Kyung...
That's not the one, although it means the same.
That's not it either.
I guess...
it's not meant to be easily used by common people.
[ Lee ... ]
[ Lee Kyung ]
Did you say you wish for a great king?
Fine.
I'll make sure to be that.
But tell me instead.
- What's your name? - I told you.
- My father is... - No.
Your name.
I'm curious to know your name.
- I'm Kang... - We're palace guards!
Arrest everyone right now!
Yes!
Get up, everyone! We must run!
Run away!
Run away right now!
This way!
Run!
Run away!
Run!
Let's go.
Who are they?
Catch them!
That boy who was running away.
We need to catch him.
I guess he could be injured as long as he's on the run.
Pardon?
Yes, sir!
So the Crown Prince was here?
That'd be the excuse.
The excuse to entangle the Crown Prince.
Over there!
- Chase after them! - Stop!
Run, run, run!
They're not here!
Look everywhere!
Blood!
Does it hurt a lot?
Let's spread out and look.
Your Highness!
This is no good.
I'll go get a doctor.
I saw a doctor at the end of the street.
You can...
go back on your own.
I know you've been afraid.
I wish I could.
Even if I hurry up and go back,
Mother will whip me with a stick at least a hundred times.
But I can't just leave someone
who needs my help.
My day was ruined because I got involved with you.
If so...
I'll help you anytime you ask for my help.
I promise under the sun, moon, and stars.
Fine.
Be careful. Please.
What is it?
I have no money.
Not a single penny.
What can you do?
Give this to the doctor for now.
Your Highness!
This is Chief Eunuch Hwang!
Where are you?
Your Highness!
This is Chief Eunuch Hwang!
Where are you?
Your Highness!
Chief Eunuch Hwang!
I'm right here!
Over here! Over here...
Chief Eunuch Hwang!
Your Highness?
Your Highness!
Chief Eunuch Hwang!
What happened?
My heart almost dropped to the floor!
I'm sorry. Were you worried?
Of course!
I almost lost my head.
You mean you were worried about yourself?
You're mistaken, Your Highness.
Your Highness! Did you get hurt?
Are you okay?
I can feel the pain too!
Please let me have a look! Ah, yes.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
- Hold on... - Your Highness, we need to go back.
Hold on a second.
I just need a second!
She'll come back soon.
Your Highness.
Her Majesty the Queen is worried sick waiting for you.
It's past your time to return to the palace.
I'll send someone out when we go back.
I'll make sure to tell him to relay the message to the lady.
So, please...
allow me to carry you.
Your Highness?
Your Highness!
Hold tightly.
I'll be moving fast.
Your Majesty, it's Han Mo.
Enter.
What happened?
I regret to say this, but
even after looking everywhere,
we still couldn't find Her Majesty the Queen's body.
Find her.
She's my queen, no matter what they say.
You need to find her.
Yes, Your Majesty.
She committed high treason?
Who came up with this plot anyway?
The thing is...
I heard it was decided at Queen Dowager's palace.
What?
I'm thirsty.
Aigoo...
I got my childhood memories back.
Well...
Is that a good thing in this situation?
Well, I suppose...
It's already been three years since we first met!
You walked into the Buyong Agency's office yourself then.
You did that!
Because I thought
I'd find my family someday if I become an informant.
That's what I thought then.
Your family. Yes. Back then...
So that's when...
That's when I started finding you annoying!
You talked like an aristocrat even though you were a shaman.
You talked to be so rudely!
I couldn't believe how ridiculous you were!
But then...
you really turned out to be an aristocrat.
So you'd better stop talking to me casually.
Yes, yes, my lady.
Hey.
By the way, what will you do now?
I need to find him.
The culprit who killed my sister.
A clear piece of evidence.
Yes.
We have Mr. Wang.
This is ridiculous.
She was the queen of the country. The queen was assassinated!
But how could you blame her for that?
King.
Did you say there was false information in the application?
And you want to destroy that family?
No.
I'll order them to release them immediately!
You're the one who's telling a lie, Grandmother!
Don't you understand at all?
Don't you know why I had to do that?
The country would've been in huge disarray otherwise.
And a lot more people would've been hurt.
You have to avoid the rain shower first, Your Majesty.
Kang Yi Soo is also a citizen of mine.
No country works around one person.
If you give them up one by one like that,
who would be loyal to this royal family and the administration?
That's why...
I want you to recover your health quickly.
Please become strong and turn everything back to normal then.
Now isn't the right time.
Promise that you won't bother Kang Yi Soo anymore.
I'll...
find an answer that's different from yours.
Your Highness, it's Court Lady Jung.
Enter.
The imprisoned gunman was
apparently found dead.
Please let me handle this and
only focus on recovering your health.
I'm begging you, King!
The cause of death seems to be a poisoned needle, Your Highness.
A poisoned needle?
A poisoned needle was used within the Royal Investigation Bureau?
That means a spy is working with them here!
How could the Royal Investigation Bureau be so lax!
I deserve to die, Your Highness.
The soldiers who were on watch got distracted for a second.
Bring the soldiers immediately, interrogate them
and make sure to find out who it was! No matter what!
Yes, Your Highness!
Your Excellency!
Your Excellency.
What is it?
I was reported that three bodies were found in the Central Canal.
Aigoo.
Aigoo, my goodness.
Hey.
Isn't that...
a gun wound?
Mr. Wang!
Mr. Wang is in danger!
Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang!
Mr. Wang, are you there?
- Mr. Wang! - Move.
- Hey, hey... - Let go!
Hey, hey! Hold on!
Unbelievable...
Geez...
I said not to go in!
S***!
- He's cutting his tails off. - What?
Since the king woke up.
Killing the king means the beginning of the new government, but
failing to do so means treason.
Maybe...
this is a warning saying, "Don't come after me."
Something like, "If you keep looking for me, I'll kill everyone?"
Three bodies that were found in the canal were gunmen
and even killed the gun merchant he dealt with.
You, I, and...
Buyoung Agency probably became the target.
Go to the back door.
I'll lure him.
Don't you know?
My name is Wal because I'm fast like a dog.
Don't be nervous. You might lose your head.
S***!
My lady, are you okay?
My lady!
Since the wound isn't deep,
she'd wake up when she gets her energy back.
Wow.
I've never seen such a pretty woman in my life.
She's pretty even when she's ill.
How did a woman get stabbed anyway?
I wonder.
I don't know what happened,
but...
she's very pretty.
Step back.
- So did you look into it? - Yes.
I just identified the bodies found in the Central Canal.
All of them were beggars from Supyo Bridge and
they were killed by the same bullets that were used on Your Majesty.
We don't know if there are one or dozens
of traitors in the Royal Investigation Bureau.
Tell the Ministry of War to trace this bullet discreetly.
Yes, Your Majesty.
How's Chief Scholar doing?
Eun Ki.
There's no way.
Or is it...
Eun Bo?
Oh, my!
I'm not a bad person!
Last night, on the street,
you and I were like...
Aigoo, you woke up.
You were so sick.
Aren't you hungry?
Have some of this porridge.
Oh, yeah!
Have some of this first.
Nothing beats this for wounds.
Why are you crying? Are you in pain?
Does it hurt a lot?
- Call the doctor... - I...
Pardon?
I'm hungry.
I shouldn't be hungry at times like this.
I'm hungry!
You can eat all of it.
Eat all of it and eat some more!
You can keep eating and eating.
It's my fault. But everyone...
If only I didn't sell Mr. Wang's information...
Aigoo! How nice!
Yes!
Great job!
- Your Excellency! - Yes, yes, yes!
Twirl, twirl, twirl!
That's right!
Aigoo, look at you!
How fun!
Be quiet for a second!
Hyungnim!
Did you see?
Did you hear?
The king who became a paper tiger stuck in the palace!
Come on now.
Even so, he still owns the throne.
Although he's completely useless.
Raise your glass!
Yes, yes, yes!
It was Eun Ki.
For some reason, it was so vivid.
Even in my dream, I held onto her.
Have you found Eun Ki's body yet?
We searched everywhere, but...
My apologies.
We must catch the culprit in order to save Chief Scholar.
The gunman already died.
And if we lose the remaining culprit, there's no other way.
But I can't even trust the Royal Investigation Bureau.
Can you think of any way?
There's a place called Buyong Agency.
Your Majesty.
They supposedly provide any information clients request.
- Information? - Yes, Your Majesty.
He's an informant at the market.
I've also heard that he's the best
in the whole Unjongga.
- If you give me an order, I'll... - Prepare for an outing.
I'll go there myself.
Yourself, Your Majesty? You can't, Your Majesty.
It's way too dangerous.
You can't even fight and all you do is nagging.
I'll leave you in the palace.
How could you say that, Your Majesty?
Let's go.
I feel hurt, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
Where are you headed to?
I'll make sure to return this favor.
Well...
Can't you tell me what your name is, at least?
Well...
I'm...
Lee Jae Hwa.
Thank you so much.
Why don't you...
return the favor now?
I know neither your name nor your surname.
How would I know if you'd ever return the favor?
Check it out, check it out!
Come and see!
Goodbye.
Are you sure you don't know your way around Hanyang?
Yes, I didn't until two days ago.
They have a seafood shop now!
Fresh squid and saury!
Have a look.
Wow.
You caught sauries that are three years old.
What are you saying?
They turned adults this year.
They're obviously old enough to get married.
Stop lying!
You can't even cover the half of this pretty little face.
Nobody would eat this in Jemulpo even if it's for free.
If it's good fish,
its eyes have to be as clear as this lady's eyes
and its colors should be as pretty as her skin
and its mouth needs to be as red as her lips...
So will you buy it or not?
I'll take one.
It's two nyang.
Consider yourself lucky!
I happened to be in a good mood.
Shall we then?
Why won't you ask me questions?
I'm a mysterious woman who was being chased while wounded.
I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
Do you have a place to go?
Not just a place to crash in,
but somewhere safe and...
a place where someone's waiting for you.
I'll lure him.
Go to the back door.
I have to be somewhere.
Is it you, Wal?
Who are you?
I'm here to commission a case.
Hold on.
Talk to me from there.
We're not supposed to reveal our identities as a rule.
The gunmen who were at the Chinyoung parade died one by one.
One of them died in prison
and three were found dead in the canal.
Someone killed all those people.
He might be the leader of the gunmen.
I want you to find him discreetly.
The dead bodies happen to be beggars from Supyo Bridge.
But the Bureau investigated Supyo Bridge and found nothing.
Supyo Bridge?
One more thing.
It'd be best if you kept your mouth shut.
Otherwise, you'd be holding the fee in your mouth for the afterlife.
I'll come back in three days.
What's wrong, Your Majesty?
Her voice...
No.
Never mind. There's no way.
This is a message from Buyong Agency.
There's an abandoned shaman house in Namsangol.
Meet me there at 9 p.m. in three days.
It's too dangerous to meet at Buyong Agency.
The king is looking for the gunman.
How did you learn about that?
He commissioned a case at Buyong Agency. He came himself.
If so...
Yes.
I'm the one who's behind Buyong Agency.
People say the owner is a man.
Who's that man then?
Well, he's my business partner.
He'll be back soon.
Well...
The king is probably looking for the culprit, right?
It seems that way.
That's a relief.
Can you handle it? It's not an easy task.
I must. For my sister.
Most importantly, this is the only way to save my parents.
Do you have a plan?
There's a gang that manages Supyo Bridge secretly in Namoon.
I'm thinking of planting a spy there.
I'll find out something since it happened in their area.
He says he doesn't have any money!
- Did you find out anything? - No.
I don't know anything.
Here you go.
I heard from the Queen Mother.
Kang's punishment is mere exile?
Exile?
We already dealt with him during the selection process, Father.
He'll act as the king's righthand man and disturb the court someday.
Yeah.
- He should be eliminated completely. - That's right.
He was the king's father-in-law briefly.
There is no way the King will allow a death sentence.
Unless there's a brilliant plan...
Your Excellency.
[ Theory of Enlightenment ]
We confiscated this book while arresting the insurgents a few days ago.
They refer to this as their "Book of enlightenment."
Book of enlightenment...
Can you guess who the author is?
Please punish Kang Yi Soo by beheading him, Your Majesty.
Your Excellency,
haven't you heard my decision?
We dare request you to change your mind, Your Majesty.
How could we make such a request without the evidence?
Let her in.
What is it?
I used to be a maid at the royal villa.
The fact that only the king's father-in-law can frequent the royal villa
and teach the queen the Lesser Learning
means that he is doing his duty
as a patriot by giving his daughter to the royal family.
However...
What are you doing?
Go ahead and report!
Whenever Your Majesty's father-in-law was there,
I could overhear sacrilegious talk.
The thing is...
Continue.
He told the queen to get enlightened and change her worldview
and furthermore...
he told her to let the people own this country.
What?
Are you telling me nothing but the truth?
I could never report a lie to you, My King!
This is what I found while cleaning the royal villa.
[ Lesser Learning ]
[ Theory of Enlightenment ]
This is high treason that would even upset God.
Please punish Kang Yi Soo by beheading for committing high treason
and reestablish 400-year history
of Joseon and Your Majesty's authority.
Please listen to our plea, Your Majesty.
Decapitate Kang Yi Soo.
Grandmother.
You must certainly do so.
The situation has changed.
He clearly committed treason.
Please set an example.
Please do so and
say you'll catch the gunman as well.
You must declare that, Your Majesty.
[ Theory of Enlightenment ]
Would Kang Yi Soo really get executed?
There's probably no other options.
But His Majesty surely treasured Kang Yi Soo.
The more you corner His Majesty,
the more unpredictable he becomes.
I'm sure the Chief State Minister will take care of that.
I got a lead.
It looks like the leader of the gunmen is a hunter.
Since I'm meeting with the king tonight, I just need to tell him...
Do you trust the king?
Pardon?
This is is the "100-name petition."
They are 100 signatures from the men who requested
the king to dismiss your father.
[ Lee Kyung ]
Kyung.
It's Lee Kyung.
Did you say you wish for a great king?
The king signed it ten years ago.
So...
don't trust everything about the king.
Someone killed all those people.
I want you to find him discreetly.
Don't trust everything about the king.
In the Analects, it says "Fine words and an insinuating countenance."
The calculated words and
facial expression to buy someone's favor.
You'd suffer if you think someone's your friend
just because they have the same goal.
Even if you assume that you share the same goal,
someone will end up bleeding.
It's not like you didn't know His Majesty's hypocrisy.
What do you mean by that?
I'm saying this is the second time His Majesty's well-being has been disturbed
thanks to Kang Yi Soo's sacrifice.
Kang Yi Soo's execution will be decided upon soon.
When I was the crown prince,
I lost you because of their trickery.
That was my painful failure.
But it'd be different this time.
Chief Eunuch Hwang.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Summon Inspector General Baek Ja Yong
and dismiss everyone.
[ Theory of Enlightenment ]
Is it true
that Chief Scholar wrote this book?
He's being slandered, Your Majesty!
The queen's father trying to enlighten her?
If such sacrilegious happened in the royal villa,
things would've gotten stirred up immediately.
Please interrogate the maid who made the false confession
and punish the ones who plotted this!
I asked you...
if Kang Yi Soo is the
author of that book.
Is it really true that he had
those ideals in Joseon?
The world ruled by the people.
The world where people can change the king...
He certainly deserves to be executed.
But...
I'll let him live.
That's why you'll have to help me.
Your Majesty.
Why don't you bring the maid back in and interrogate her?
In my opinion, His Excellency Kang Yi Soo isn't that kind of a person.
And considering Your Majesty's character,
you would've tried to find out the truth vigorously.
If I trace back her false confession,
I'll end up finding that Mother was involved.
You mean Queen Mother?
So...
this is the answer I came up with.
Father!
Father.
His Majesty had a private meeting with Baek Ja Yong.
It was very secretive.
Baek Ja Yong?
Well...
We finally got rid of Kang Yi Soo, and now it's Baek Ja Yong?
Even so,
his execution has been decided already.
He can't change his mind, can he?
- Don't you think, Nephew? - Well...
Of course not.
What did you plan with your servant, Your Majesty?
Have him followed.
Have him monitor Baek Ja Yong's every single move.
I found Eun Bo. You should meet with her.
The king is trying to free you tonight. Please come out safely.
I'm begging you as your friend.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm heading out due to an urgent matter.
As long as this works out...
I'll tell you some other time.
Yes.
By the way...
What's the matter?
Well...
The king didn't show up to our meeting.
I knew he wouldn't.
He probably doesn't have time for that right now.
- Pardon? - Wait here for now.
I have to be somewhere urgently.
Fire!
Hurry up!
There's someone in here!
Come out.
Hurry!
There's someone in here!
Fire!
Let's go.
Look here.
Please be careful.
So, where is Eun Bo?
Let's go for now. I'll let you meet her.
Who are you?
You two are best friends indeed.
You've acted so superior.
But apparently even Kang Yi Soo is afraid of being executed.
Escape the prison, huh?
They will be interrogated.
Take them away.
- Take them away! - Yes!
Your Majesty.
It's Han Mo.
Enter.
What's the matter?
His Excellency Kang Yi Soo was arrested.
What?
You mean there's no one behind this escape?
If so...
why don't you do the talking then?
The one who ordered you to assist his escape
was truly...
Dae Sun Il?
Come on.
Can't you hear His Excellency?
Confess right now!
What is it that you want to hear?
I just want to hear the truth.
The one who broke the law and plotted this with you...
I want his name.
- There's no such a person! - No?
The answer will be the same no matter how many times you ask.
Then let's follow the law and behead the prisoner who escaped
and you'll report to me afterward.
First of all,
I'll have to kill you first.
Here comes His Majesty!
Halt!
It was me.
I...
was behind this prison break.
[ Queen: Love and War ]
Why did you? Why?
You shouldn't be talking to me like this, King.
They committed the crime!
I think this might be the way to calm people down.
Another selection?
It hasn't been that long since the queen passed!
The world changed because of the twins that were born in 1895.
I heard it was the king's order.
The king ordered them to kill Father!
What if the resurrected queen participates in the selection?
I'm planning to make her pretend to be the late queen.
