8
00:00:44,110 --> 00:00:47,020
How could something like this happen?
9
00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:51,110
Who told me to interrogate her personally?
10
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,290
How could you make me hear that evil curse
11
00:00:55,290 --> 00:00:58,290
from her dirty mouth!
12
00:01:11,340 --> 00:01:13,610
It was you, Right State Minister, right?
13
00:01:13,610 --> 00:01:18,180
Your Majesty, why are you concerned with the evil murderer's words?
14
00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:20,260
She's just a leftover bandit.
15
00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:21,890
A leftover bandit?
16
00:01:21,890 --> 00:01:25,560
Ten years ago, you arrested the leader of the bandits in the Byeokcheon of the Song family.
17
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,430
Did you not receive a meritorious deed and servants as a result?
18
00:01:29,430 --> 00:01:33,090
So, how could there be any remaining rebels?
19
00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:35,800
Did you suppress the rebellion properly?
20
00:01:39,890 --> 00:01:41,230
There's more.
21
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,070
I see that you all are part of the Jo family of Seongju.
22
00:01:46,070 --> 00:01:48,180
What are you men doing?
23
00:01:48,180 --> 00:01:50,890
You receive meritorious deeds and get paid by the nation.
24
00:01:50,890 --> 00:01:53,580
So what have you been doing?
25
00:01:53,580 --> 00:01:57,260
Is your nation Joseon or your family?
26
00:02:01,150 --> 00:02:06,600
I heard everyone in the Jo family of Seongju has a government post.
27
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,820
I heard that in Bukchon, where you all live,
28
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:13,100
your storehouses reek of rotting meat and fish.
29
00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:20,810
What did you do besides increasing your wealth and your family's power?
30
00:02:20,810 --> 00:02:22,660
Tell me what you did
31
00:02:22,660 --> 00:02:26,340
for me, the Crown Prince, and the nation!
32
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,750
Your Majesty, of course, we felt terrible about this as well-
33
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:35,360
Right State Minister!
34
00:02:38,660 --> 00:02:41,330
Do not say a word.
35
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:46,980
I am not in the mood to listen to anything.
36
00:02:48,310 --> 00:02:51,740
Those who dare speak of what happened today at the interrogation
37
00:02:52,970 --> 00:02:57,250
or spread the news outside the palace
38
00:02:57,250 --> 00:03:02,040
should bear in mind that not only he
39
00:03:03,020 --> 00:03:06,360
but also his family and relatives will be severely punished.
40
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,790
We will do as you say, Your Majesty.
41
00:03:13,570 --> 00:03:16,860
Go find Soon Dol.
42
00:03:16,860 --> 00:03:18,160
Pardon?
43
00:03:21,660 --> 00:03:23,880
Bring Go Soon Dol here.
44
00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:27,430
Stop right there!
45
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:45,580
You dare attack my friend
46
00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:48,200
and student?
47
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,150
You are dead now!
48
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,450
It is dangerous!
49
00:04:08,450 --> 00:04:11,250
There are two assassins. You should not chase them.
50
00:04:22,540 --> 00:04:25,120
I need to go to His Highness.
51
00:04:26,610 --> 00:04:29,450
She got kicked out, so why...
52
00:04:29,450 --> 00:04:31,620
Are you hurt anywhere?
53
00:04:31,620 --> 00:04:33,660
Are you all right?
54
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,840
You must have been afraid.
55
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:52,300
You must have been lonely.
56
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,980
Yes. I was afraid...
57
00:04:56,260 --> 00:04:57,250
and lonely.
58
00:04:57,250 --> 00:05:00,530
You must have felt hopeless because you did not know whom to fight.
59
00:05:00,530 --> 00:05:03,110
You cannot fight a ghost.
60
00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:05,810
They are not targeting only the Crown Prince.
61
00:05:05,810 --> 00:05:08,940
They are trying to curse the royal family of Joseon
62
00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:12,490
and shake up this nation within their grasp.
63
00:05:12,490 --> 00:05:15,860
Can I return to the Eastern Palace starting tomorrow?
64
00:05:15,860 --> 00:05:18,900
That is not possible.
65
00:05:18,900 --> 00:05:21,820
Even though I said that,
66
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:24,390
I want you to be by my side.
67
00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:26,160
I'm coming, Your Highness.
68
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,960
I will stay by your side.
69
00:05:31,770 --> 00:05:35,570
[Episode 9]
How could the head shaman mention the Song family of Byeokcheon?
70
00:05:35,570 --> 00:05:36,890
I know, right?
71
00:05:36,890 --> 00:05:41,500
It is terrible enough that the murderer was the head shaman of the Shamanist Bureau.
72
00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:46,430
How did she get possessed by the spirit of the Song family, who died ten years ago?
73
00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:48,470
What happened with the plum tree in the Grand Palace?
74
00:05:48,470 --> 00:05:49,800
How could it suddenly be struck by lightning?
75
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,320
And it just so happened to be right after the head shaman's curse.
76
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,220
Did it not really seem like a ghost's curse?
77
00:05:56,220 --> 00:06:00,310
Come on! How could you say something so foreboding?
78
00:06:00,310 --> 00:06:04,950
We need to set up a special unit to reinvestigate the Byeokcheon case from ten years ago.
79
00:06:04,950 --> 00:06:08,220
Do you mean we need to request a reinvestigation?
80
00:06:08,220 --> 00:06:12,210
Does not what happened ten years ago bother you, Chief State Minister?
81
00:06:12,210 --> 00:06:16,600
Since His Majesty has shown a willingness to contest the Jo family of Seongju,
82
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,480
would this not be an opportunity?
83
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,110
I do not know who is responsible for this,
84
00:06:22,110 --> 00:06:26,120
but is it not clearly something that can weaken the power of the Jo family of Seongju?
85
00:06:29,650 --> 00:06:32,100
All right, all right.
86
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:36,510
It looks like you guys are all curious about this.
87
00:06:36,510 --> 00:06:38,730
What this means is...
88
00:06:38,730 --> 00:06:41,360
The Song family will destroy the Yi family.
89
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,390
It supposedly contains such deep meaning.
90
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:46,090
Who is the Song family?
91
00:06:46,090 --> 00:06:50,150
It's the leader of the bandits in the Byeokcheon of the Song family.
92
00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:53,290
Then, who's the Yi family that the Song family will destroy?
93
00:06:53,290 --> 00:06:54,850
Come on.
94
00:06:54,850 --> 00:06:58,120
The King, the Crown Prince, the Grand Prince, the Princess, and the royal family
95
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,960
are all part of the Yi family.
96
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,280
Then, the head shaman of the Shamanist Bureau got possessed by the spirit of Song
97
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:07,440
and committed murders to curse the royal family?
98
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,180
Not only that, but I just heard
99
00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:13,840
that the oyat tree in the palace caught on fire.
100
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,610
What is the oyat tree in Chinese characters? Oyat, Yi.
101
00:07:16,610 --> 00:07:19,760
The ghost of Song was making a statement.
102
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:25,650
"I will burn you to ashes like this oyat tree!"
103
00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:29,060
There were rumors that the Crown Prince was cursed by a ghost...
104
00:07:29,060 --> 00:07:33,720
Was that true? Gosh, why is the nation so chaotic right now!
105
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,390
Did something happen at the Palace?
106
00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:38,240
Eunuch Go already went to the Palace.
107
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Things are bad! These things fell from the sky...
108
00:07:44,590 --> 00:07:46,190
[Song Ga Myeol Yi]
109
00:08:08,490 --> 00:08:11,320
Out of all of these trees,
110
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,940
how could only the plum tree be set ablaze?
111
00:08:13,940 --> 00:08:16,670
Is there really a ghost
112
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:19,440
who cursed the royal family and me
113
00:08:20,830 --> 00:08:23,570
and struck the plum tree with lightning to make a statement?
114
00:08:23,570 --> 00:08:26,010
There is no way.
115
00:08:26,010 --> 00:08:28,740
A living person is behind this.
116
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:53,320
Your Highness.
117
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,810
This smell is similar to the gunpowder I smelled before
118
00:08:57,810 --> 00:09:00,190
when soldiers were training in Gaeseong.
119
00:09:00,190 --> 00:09:02,200
It is most likely sulfur.
120
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,340
However, it would not have burned so long with just sulfur.
121
00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:11,230
I will visit the young master in Manyeondang tomorrow.
122
00:09:19,930 --> 00:09:23,920
- What is the matter?
- The ones who were guarding the head shaman...
123
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,350
died overnight.
124
00:09:26,350 --> 00:09:28,210
Lift the covers.
125
00:09:46,950 --> 00:09:51,370
I chased the one who shot the arrow, but his accomplice appeared and attacked me...
126
00:09:51,370 --> 00:09:53,720
so I ended up losing him.
127
00:09:54,610 --> 00:09:56,740
How many accomplices do they have
128
00:09:56,740 --> 00:10:00,540
and who is giving them the orders?
129
00:10:00,540 --> 00:10:02,130
Did you find out about burning peonies?
130
00:10:02,130 --> 00:10:06,330
All I heard was it may have been imported from India.
131
00:10:06,330 --> 00:10:11,950
I heard that they sometimes apply oil to such dried flowers and burn them.
132
00:10:15,670 --> 00:10:18,260
India...
133
00:10:24,370 --> 00:10:26,080
Your Highness.
134
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,010
The Sergeant is here.
135
00:10:28,010 --> 00:10:29,840
Have him enter.
136
00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:40,460
There were clear snake bite marks on their neck and shoulders.
137
00:10:40,460 --> 00:10:45,130
Would it not be the same snake that bit the head shaman at the interrogation today?
138
00:10:45,130 --> 00:10:46,560
This is so strange.
139
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:49,580
Also, in the corner of the Royal Investigation Bureau cell where the head shaman was held,
140
00:10:49,580 --> 00:10:52,420
a bloodied dagger was found.
141
00:10:52,420 --> 00:10:54,380
It appears she engraved the letter on herself with that dagger.
142
00:10:54,380 --> 00:10:57,970
There is now no way for us to find out
143
00:10:57,970 --> 00:11:01,140
who provided her with the dagger and the snake.
144
00:11:04,790 --> 00:11:07,850
Are you still searching for Oh Man Shik of the department of Taoism, who defiled the celebratory message?
145
00:11:07,850 --> 00:11:10,670
Yes. He had an older brother, but he was already dead.
146
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:14,620
Supposedly, his hyung's wife and children live in Inchang-bang, so he often visited.
147
00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:16,710
I stationed a soldier there,
148
00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:19,890
so if he sends a message to his hyung's wife and children,
149
00:11:19,890 --> 00:11:21,740
then we will be able to find his trail.
150
00:11:21,740 --> 00:11:26,450
We must at least catch that man since he may have something to do with this case.
151
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,380
Were you in much shock?
152
00:11:36,380 --> 00:11:40,060
The Grand Prince said he wanted to see the culprit of the Sabangahn case...
153
00:11:40,060 --> 00:11:42,890
Since he has already seen it, it is too late.
154
00:11:42,890 --> 00:11:46,140
It is not your fault, Princess.
155
00:11:46,140 --> 00:11:48,790
- How is he?
- He just received a lot of shock,
156
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:53,290
so after he gets some rest, he should be fine
157
00:11:53,290 --> 00:11:56,700
I will make Bojungikgi-tang for him.
158
00:11:56,700 --> 00:11:58,630
Do so.
159
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,550
Mother.
160
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,810
Who is the Song family of Byeokcheon?
161
00:12:11,810 --> 00:12:14,800
Do you know, Noonim?
162
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,230
You should first get some rest.
163
00:12:17,230 --> 00:12:20,110
- I'll tell you once you've gotten better-
- Tell me now.
164
00:12:20,110 --> 00:12:23,400
Is Song a person?
165
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,520
Or is he really a ghost?
166
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,890
It is scarier not to know.
167
00:12:28,890 --> 00:12:31,390
Do you not know either, Court Lady Ahn?
168
00:12:37,460 --> 00:12:39,630
Ten years ago,
169
00:12:39,630 --> 00:12:43,020
a group of bandits in Byeokcheon started a rebellion.
170
00:12:43,020 --> 00:12:45,990
Song was the leader of those bandits.
171
00:12:45,990 --> 00:12:50,850
How could a mere bandit become a ghost and curse the royal family?
172
00:12:50,850 --> 00:12:52,970
So what happened to him?
173
00:12:52,970 --> 00:12:55,880
The Right State Minister, who was the Minister of Defense at the time,
174
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,320
personally went and subdued them.
175
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,870
- Song also was-
- That is enough.
176
00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:04,840
Grandfather?
177
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,300
Mother, since Grandfather subdued them,
178
00:13:10,370 --> 00:13:15,240
Grandfather would subdue the ghost of Song, too, right?
179
00:13:23,810 --> 00:13:27,640
The Song family did not forget the unjust deaths and sorrow of the people of Byeokcheon.
180
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,190
And they are back!
181
00:13:29,190 --> 00:13:35,620
I became a ghost, but my soul is already on the throne!
182
00:13:35,620 --> 00:13:38,460
Song family will destroy the Yi family
183
00:13:38,460 --> 00:13:44,210
and take this country's throne!
184
00:13:46,580 --> 00:13:49,930
- Hey, you dirty bandit bastard!
- He is still alive? Gosh, he is quite persistent!
185
00:13:49,930 --> 00:13:52,170
Supposedly, he slaughtered and kidnapped
186
00:13:52,170 --> 00:13:56,160
old men, women, and children! What more do you need to say?
187
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,440
To think that the Royal Investigation Bureau officers
188
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,710
and the head shaman was bitten by the amur viper...
189
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,740
Read this. It is the autopsy report of Shim Young's suicide case.
190
00:14:15,740 --> 00:14:19,860
[Bokgum: Autopsy procedure in Joseon dynasty / Shijangshik: Autopsy report]
191
00:14:26,780 --> 00:14:29,450
The coroner checked the number of wounds that would have caused his death
192
00:14:29,450 --> 00:14:31,870
or if any wounds led to his sudden death,
193
00:14:31,870 --> 00:14:34,870
but apart from the strangulation marks on his neck, there were no other wounds.
194
00:14:34,870 --> 00:14:37,710
The strangulation marks were dark red, and his eyes were closed.
195
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:39,250
He died with his mouth open.
196
00:14:39,250 --> 00:14:42,120
If someone had murdered him first and tried to set it up as a suicide by hanging,
197
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,920
he would not display these traits.
198
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,440
It is clear that it was suicide.
199
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,190
Also, the handwriting on the suicide note was definitely Shim Young's.
200
00:14:51,190 --> 00:14:55,500
His disciples at the temple also testified to it, so there is no doubt.
201
00:14:55,500 --> 00:14:59,470
After your family died, he supposedly kept searching your house for something.
202
00:14:59,470 --> 00:15:02,930
Do you have any idea what that might have been?
203
00:15:15,820 --> 00:15:17,350
But what is this supposed to mean?
204
00:15:17,350 --> 00:15:18,960
These are the items left behind by the dead.
205
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,020
The letter containing his last words and the jade bracelet was on the wooden hallway floor.
206
00:15:22,020 --> 00:15:23,380
Hold onto them well.
207
00:15:23,380 --> 00:15:27,110
But how should we explain this...
208
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:30,680
Young had white hair? No. This is not true.
209
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,150
This would have been a sudden change.
210
00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:35,710
Even when I was leaving Gaeseong, Young did not have white hair.
211
00:15:35,710 --> 00:15:39,650
Do you remember? The head shaman also had white hair.
212
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:44,850
How did this happen...
213
00:15:44,850 --> 00:15:46,910
The head shaman's prayer site is in Gaeseong...
214
00:15:46,910 --> 00:15:49,120
In addition to the peony petals,
215
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:53,050
- white hair as well...
- Also, the amur viper
216
00:15:53,050 --> 00:15:56,190
that killed my herald and hurt me.
217
00:16:03,340 --> 00:16:06,240
Would they not all be part of the same group?
218
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,530
Another thing to note.
219
00:16:07,530 --> 00:16:10,510
The ghost's letter.
220
00:16:10,510 --> 00:16:14,210
The head shaman knew about the ghost's letter.
221
00:16:18,630 --> 00:16:21,320
Would the leftover bandits in Byeokcheon
222
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,070
be responsible for doing all of that?
223
00:16:40,050 --> 00:16:42,070
Come!
224
00:16:42,070 --> 00:16:45,220
Hurry, hurry, hurry! Come!
225
00:16:45,220 --> 00:16:48,240
Let me down, let me down!
226
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,680
Hyungnim, Hyungnim!
227
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,300
T-Take a look at this!
228
00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:57,570
[Song Ga Myeol Yi]
229
00:16:57,570 --> 00:17:00,440
w-were really alive!
230
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,080
What do we do about this?
231
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,960
The head shaman, that bitch, was also one of those remaining Byeokcheon bandits!
232
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,890
When she started uttering her curses,
233
00:17:08,890 --> 00:17:12,580
did it not feel like Song came back from Byeokcheon, Hyungnim?
234
00:17:12,580 --> 00:17:16,170
Aigoo, perhaps that bastard has come back as a ghost
235
00:17:16,170 --> 00:17:18,940
to slice my neck- Gosh!
236
00:17:18,940 --> 00:17:22,200
With a scythe, Hyungnim...
237
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,080
It is not our family
238
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,870
that Song is cursing, no?
239
00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:30,220
Pardon?
240
00:17:30,790 --> 00:17:32,050
[Song Ga Myeol Yi]
241
00:17:32,050 --> 00:17:33,630
Right!
242
00:17:34,550 --> 00:17:37,390
Yes. Yes, you are right!
243
00:17:37,390 --> 00:17:41,460
You are right, Hyungnim! Song did not curse the Jo family,
244
00:17:41,460 --> 00:17:44,240
but the Yi family!
245
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,870
I missed that part.
246
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:52,470
But how come that bastard
247
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:56,920
is calling down curses on the royal family instead of you and me, Hyungnim?
248
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:01,180
Is it not only proper that one curses the person responsible for one's death?
249
00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:04,610
Pardon? But the one who subdued that bastard was...
250
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:09,000
Why would I have gone to Byeokcheon to put them down if not for the king's orders?
251
00:18:10,100 --> 00:18:12,310
You are right!
252
00:18:12,310 --> 00:18:16,390
The reason that wretch was tied to a stake alive and executed
253
00:18:16,390 --> 00:18:20,320
was not us but the king's orders! We are saved!
254
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,830
All of that was the will of our austere King.
255
00:18:24,830 --> 00:18:27,300
- The Yi family, yes.
- Whether it is a ghost or not,
256
00:18:27,300 --> 00:18:29,640
what does it have to do with our family?
257
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,460
Yes, yes.
258
00:18:32,610 --> 00:18:34,700
More importantly,
259
00:18:36,010 --> 00:18:40,360
the King dared to spit on our family?
260
00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:44,950
What do you think will happen as a consequence?
261
00:18:47,190 --> 00:18:51,420
D-Do you have something in mind?
262
00:18:52,340 --> 00:18:54,620
How could I not?
263
00:18:54,620 --> 00:18:58,210
A crisis is also an opportunity.
264
00:18:58,210 --> 00:19:03,880
I am so worried that the King will reinvestigate the Byeokcheon case...
265
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,940
That will never happen.
266
00:19:05,940 --> 00:19:08,480
I will make sure that never happens.
267
00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:13,220
I am more afraid of them than the King.
268
00:19:13,220 --> 00:19:16,180
If there are remaining bandits, I will find them,
269
00:19:16,180 --> 00:19:18,330
and I will make sure to prevent any reinvestigation.
270
00:19:18,330 --> 00:19:20,560
So just rest easy.
271
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,030
- You got that?
- Yes, Hyungnim!
272
00:19:24,170 --> 00:19:28,200
Hyungnim! Those Yi family people!
273
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,160
What do you want me to do with this?
274
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,980
We are going to do a dictation.
275
00:19:57,980 --> 00:19:59,280
What is that?
276
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,090
You will listen to what I say and write it on the ground.
277
00:20:02,090 --> 00:20:04,750
- With this stick?
- Yeah.
278
00:20:04,750 --> 00:20:08,230
You may speak. I will write it down.
279
00:20:08,230 --> 00:20:11,550
You are a rude woman.
280
00:20:11,550 --> 00:20:13,370
A rude woman...
281
00:20:13,370 --> 00:20:15,530
You are a nasty woman.
282
00:20:15,530 --> 00:20:19,490
You are delusional in assuming that I would like you when I have no interest in you.
283
00:20:19,490 --> 00:20:22,010
What a ridiculous woman you are.
284
00:20:22,010 --> 00:20:24,850
I am a man with my own preferences.
285
00:20:24,850 --> 00:20:29,610
So, how could you just leave after saying your piece one-sidedly
286
00:20:29,610 --> 00:20:31,900
like a woodpecker on a tree!
287
00:20:31,900 --> 00:20:33,960
Are you speaking to the daughter of the Minister of General Affairs?
288
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,090
I can still see the arrogant back of your head.
289
00:20:37,090 --> 00:20:40,600
It makes me so angry that my head hurts!
290
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,230
The sophisticated daughter of a Minister? Myung Jin is not interested.
291
00:20:43,230 --> 00:20:45,660
A woman who only has a pretty face? Myung Jin is even more not interested.
292
00:20:45,660 --> 00:20:48,020
The one that Myung Jin is waiting for is not like you.
293
00:20:48,020 --> 00:20:51,220
Myung Jin is pathetic.
294
00:20:51,220 --> 00:20:53,620
A warm and kind woman...
295
00:20:53,620 --> 00:20:58,480
Someone who has beautiful and special eyes to recognize Myung Jin's true worth.
296
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,320
That is the type of woman I am looking for.
297
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,600
Myung Jin is crazy.
298
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,740
I do not like you either! Leave, leave! Just get away from me!
299
00:21:07,740 --> 00:21:09,640
Did you finish writing it?
300
00:21:10,750 --> 00:21:13,750
I was not able to write it all down because I did not study enough.
301
00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:17,490
How come you could not say anything to her when you are so good at speaking?
302
00:21:17,490 --> 00:21:20,680
That is a good question. Why do you think I could not?
303
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,360
Well, perhaps you were afraid of getting hit by your mother's pestle?
304
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:27,890
Oh, what a bright student I have!
305
00:21:27,890 --> 00:21:30,500
How do you know my feelings so well?
306
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:36,170
But Master, you emoted really well just now.
307
00:21:36,170 --> 00:21:39,780
How do I put this... You seemed a bit out of your mind,
308
00:21:39,780 --> 00:21:42,100
but you said everything you needed to say.
309
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:46,170
It was refreshing as if I just drank seltzer water.
310
00:21:46,170 --> 00:21:49,080
Since this wedding is already called off, tell her
311
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,700
what you just said the next time you see her, Master.
312
00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:54,550
You just wait...
313
00:21:54,550 --> 00:21:56,880
The next time I meet that woodpecker of a woman,
314
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,430
I will flatten her nose!
315
00:21:59,430 --> 00:22:01,110
Can you really do that?
316
00:22:01,110 --> 00:22:03,720
Yes, of course!
317
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,040
Student, we will do our dictation again.
318
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,890
Yes, Master. Just tell me what to write!
319
00:22:10,890 --> 00:22:12,960
Myung Jin is brave.
320
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,620
He is a truly cool guy.
321
00:22:15,620 --> 00:22:18,250
Myung Jin is brave.
322
00:22:18,250 --> 00:22:21,000
He is truly a cool guy.
323
00:22:22,170 --> 00:22:24,400
Look at this cute guy!
324
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,550
Did you learn the written language already?
325
00:22:26,550 --> 00:22:31,720
Yes, Master! When you tell me to memorize something, I just memorize it!
326
00:22:32,740 --> 00:22:35,500
- Who is your master?
- It is you, Master.
327
00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:38,970
- Who is your student, Master?
- Obviously, it is you!
328
00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:44,640
Oh, Friend!
329
00:22:46,260 --> 00:22:47,990
Eunuch Go.
330
00:22:48,990 --> 00:22:50,950
I came to discuss something with you.
331
00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:53,280
You should come inside first.
332
00:23:01,170 --> 00:23:04,550
There was a lightning strike, and the plum tree was set ablaze...
333
00:23:04,550 --> 00:23:06,980
And there was a smell of sulfur...
334
00:23:06,980 --> 00:23:11,370
But just sulfur alone would not make the fire burn so long.
335
00:23:11,370 --> 00:23:14,340
If you mixed it with other things and coated the tree with it,
336
00:23:14,340 --> 00:23:17,320
then it could be a different story.
337
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,900
If they had perhaps mixed in saltpeter...
338
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,490
- What is saltpeter?
- It is used for making gunpowder.
339
00:23:25,490 --> 00:23:28,420
Also, one more thing...
340
00:23:28,420 --> 00:23:31,800
- Beeswax?
- Is it not used for making expensive candles?
341
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,990
If they mixed those three,
342
00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:37,790
and then waited for a lightning strike to set it on fire...
343
00:23:37,790 --> 00:23:41,980
then they could completely fool others
344
00:23:41,980 --> 00:23:45,110
as if it was struck by lightning!
345
00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:47,490
Myung Jin is amazing!
346
00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:54,860
But who has easy access to those three ingredients?
347
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,400
I will need to return to the palace now.
348
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,590
Then, I shall be on my way as well.
349
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,740
Even if this is a secret order of His Highness, this is still a job done by humans.
350
00:24:11,740 --> 00:24:13,070
So nothing is free.
351
00:24:13,070 --> 00:24:17,620
How come it seems the His Highness is trying to get these services for free?
352
00:24:17,620 --> 00:24:19,740
Geez.
353
00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:22,980
Then, would it be all right if I returned to the palace and delivered
354
00:24:22,980 --> 00:24:27,540
exactly what you said to His Highness, Young Master?
355
00:24:29,060 --> 00:24:34,180
No, no. It is my master's hobby to talk to himself.
356
00:24:34,180 --> 00:24:37,060
It is merely him talking to himself.
357
00:24:37,060 --> 00:24:40,500
I mean, well, Myung Jin does have a habit of doing that sometimes...
358
00:24:40,500 --> 00:24:43,890
- I mean, it is time to eat anyway...
- I will buy you food
359
00:24:43,890 --> 00:24:46,320
- in place of His Highness.
- Friend...
360
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,060
I am so grateful!
361
00:24:51,210 --> 00:24:55,250
I knew you would be so generous, so I had everything prepared already.
362
00:24:55,250 --> 00:24:57,580
- What do you mean?
- Young Master.
363
00:24:57,580 --> 00:24:59,800
Oh, please come in.
364
00:25:00,690 --> 00:25:03,620
Well, I do not know if I came in at the right time...
365
00:25:03,620 --> 00:25:05,960
You came right on time.
366
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,090
I knew that you would buy, Friend, so I asked her in advance.
367
00:25:10,090 --> 00:25:12,440
Aigoo. Aigoo, aigoo.
368
00:25:17,890 --> 00:25:21,720
- Thanks for the food, Friend!
- Thank you for the food, Scholar!
369
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,460
- Please enjoy the food.
- Oh, thanks!
370
00:25:50,500 --> 00:25:52,040
It is tasty.
371
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,490
I thought I would have to skip lunch today.
372
00:25:55,490 --> 00:25:58,670
Wait, His Highness starves you?
373
00:25:58,670 --> 00:26:00,750
No way.
374
00:26:03,470 --> 00:26:07,230
There is an abundance of the best foods in the palace kitchen,
375
00:26:07,230 --> 00:26:12,420
but I am merely a eunuch in the Eastern Palace, earning a meager income,
376
00:26:12,420 --> 00:26:16,680
so if I miss my meal, who will make sure I eat?
377
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:21,370
Not only that, His Highness makes me run so many errands!
378
00:26:21,370 --> 00:26:24,970
He tells me to go here and there and do this and that.
379
00:26:24,970 --> 00:26:30,280
Sometimes I am so busy running errands that a bowl of water is my dinner.
380
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,780
Yet, he does not even ask whether I ate or not.
381
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,780
- What did I tell you?
- Geez!
382
00:26:41,780 --> 00:26:44,190
What do you think, Friend?
383
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,820
Since everyone flatters him as His Highness,
384
00:26:51,820 --> 00:26:55,640
how could he know how his subordinates feel?
385
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,250
I think that His Highness has a lot of problems.
386
00:26:59,250 --> 00:27:00,710
Have a drink with me.
387
00:27:00,710 --> 00:27:03,950
All right, all right, take a drink.
388
00:27:07,900 --> 00:27:10,330
He has a lot of problems.
389
00:27:17,310 --> 00:27:21,580
The Crown Prince went out under disguise?
390
00:27:21,580 --> 00:27:24,130
Manyeondang...
391
00:27:38,290 --> 00:27:42,720
For now, forget about everything else and secretly tail Go Soon Dol.
392
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,100
Find out where he is going and what he is doing
393
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:49,730
and who he is meeting.
394
00:27:51,490 --> 00:27:54,420
You must not miss a single thing.
395
00:27:54,420 --> 00:27:56,820
Do you understand?
396
00:27:56,820 --> 00:27:58,510
Yes.
397
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,380
Beeswax is valuable, but it can be easily found in the street markets.
398
00:28:07,380 --> 00:28:10,580
One could obtain saltpeter from the military supplies department.
399
00:28:11,620 --> 00:28:15,040
- But sulfur...
- We could find out if we look around the markets.
400
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,430
I will look for a person who obtained all three items around the same time.
401
00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:21,370
How long will it take?
402
00:28:21,370 --> 00:28:25,280
- I will find out within five days.
- Be careful.
403
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,560
You must not get hurt.
404
00:28:28,490 --> 00:28:30,310
Yes, Your Highness.
405
00:28:35,660 --> 00:28:37,450
You will need this.
406
00:28:37,450 --> 00:28:40,260
Did you not lose three nyang of your salary?
407
00:28:41,230 --> 00:28:46,870
I will root for the Army today. I even bet three nyang on the Army.
408
00:28:58,770 --> 00:29:02,620
I heard that you were participating, so I quickly switched my bet to the Royal Guard.
409
00:29:02,620 --> 00:29:08,090
I am a woman with excellent quick judgment.
410
00:29:10,110 --> 00:29:12,450
- Well, then...
- But I will also take
411
00:29:12,450 --> 00:29:17,100
this money, seeing how you prepared it for me.
412
00:29:19,410 --> 00:29:22,510
I like money.
413
00:29:35,170 --> 00:29:40,000
You came a long distance. I should at least give you travel fare, Nephew.
414
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:45,290
This is about showing the strength of our family. I should come no matter how far it is.
415
00:29:52,630 --> 00:29:55,380
What did you just say?
416
00:29:55,380 --> 00:29:58,230
The Confucian scholars said what?
417
00:29:58,230 --> 00:30:00,610
We beg your pardon as we make our supplication.
418
00:30:00,610 --> 00:30:04,670
From long ago, thunder and lightning were understood as a sign from Heaven.
419
00:30:04,670 --> 00:30:08,370
Thus, His Majesty should observe the heavens,
420
00:30:08,370 --> 00:30:13,100
and figure out what the will of Heaven is so that these disasters will end.
421
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:18,690
The lightning that struck the oyat tree must be a rebuke of heaven.
422
00:30:18,690 --> 00:30:22,660
So we advise you humbly that it would be right for you
423
00:30:22,660 --> 00:30:27,530
to respond to heaven and perform your role as Father of the nation.
424
00:30:27,530 --> 00:30:32,090
From long ago, the one who rules over others should...
425
00:30:32,090 --> 00:30:35,050
Governor of Seongju, Jo Doo Won.
426
00:30:37,420 --> 00:30:40,420
Mayor of Yangju, Jo Won Young.
427
00:30:43,650 --> 00:30:47,490
Army General of Jeolla-do, Kim Hyeong Woon.
428
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,070
Half of them are the Jo family of Seongju,
429
00:30:51,070 --> 00:30:54,350
and the other half are either in-laws or maternal relatives
430
00:30:54,350 --> 00:30:57,190
of the Jo family of Seongju!
431
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,730
Is this not all...
432
00:31:01,730 --> 00:31:07,010
what that prestigious Jo family of Seongju is throwing at me?
433
00:31:07,010 --> 00:31:12,350
Fine, you bastards! How can I repent of my sins,
434
00:31:12,350 --> 00:31:15,950
so that my virtue reaches the heavens?
435
00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:27,060
A lightning strike is known to be a sign of the heavens being angry.
436
00:31:27,060 --> 00:31:32,300
Since that wrath has fallen upon the oyat tree in the Grand Palace...
437
00:31:32,300 --> 00:31:36,370
how could it not have no meaning? It is quite strange.
438
00:31:36,370 --> 00:31:39,980
Come now! Watch what you say! Even in peaceful times of the past,
439
00:31:39,980 --> 00:31:43,050
there were lightning strikes that took place for no reason!
440
00:31:43,050 --> 00:31:45,690
Not only that, even if the heavens were angry,
441
00:31:45,690 --> 00:31:48,850
how dare they rebuke the lack of virtue in His Majesty?
442
00:31:48,850 --> 00:31:52,420
There are so many corrupt officials in the King's court who know no shame!
443
00:31:52,420 --> 00:31:54,330
If the heavens were really punishing the nation,
444
00:31:54,330 --> 00:31:57,830
would this not be a punishment against them?
445
00:31:57,830 --> 00:32:00,930
Your Majesty, please have mercy on your people
446
00:32:00,930 --> 00:32:06,210
who are shaking in fear due to these terrible and strange occurrences.
447
00:32:06,210 --> 00:32:10,930
Please have mercy on your people!
448
00:32:17,620 --> 00:32:19,250
Please apply Gamseon,
449
00:32:19,250 --> 00:32:21,380
[Gamseon: Showing example to the people by reducing the number of the dishes for the King's probation]
450
00:32:24,190 --> 00:32:27,680
and be on probation in front of the Heavens,
451
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,420
Your Majesty.
452
00:32:31,420 --> 00:32:34,300
Gamseon?
453
00:32:34,300 --> 00:32:36,430
Right State Minister!
454
00:32:36,430 --> 00:32:38,520
How truly disrespectful!
455
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:43,740
How dare you request His Majesty to apply Gamseon as his servant?
456
00:32:43,740 --> 00:32:47,990
Your Majesty, this is nonsense. Please do not listen to them!
457
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,950
If I apply Gamseon...
458
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,650
If I really do Gamseon,
459
00:33:04,830 --> 00:33:08,200
can I ask for forgiveness from the Heavens
460
00:33:09,790 --> 00:33:12,680
and calm down the
461
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,640
noisiness outside?
462
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,660
- Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty!
463
00:33:16,660 --> 00:33:19,180
Your Majesty!
464
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,230
Gamseon? Did Uncle really request that?
465
00:33:35,230 --> 00:33:37,460
Yes, Your Highness.
466
00:33:41,350 --> 00:33:44,770
How cunning can these people be?
467
00:33:44,770 --> 00:33:48,650
They use the power of their family to control His Majesty.
468
00:33:48,650 --> 00:33:50,610
There is nothing new about that.
469
00:33:50,610 --> 00:33:55,010
I am sure His Majesty will accept the request for Gamseon.
470
00:33:55,010 --> 00:33:59,140
There is no way to fight them.
471
00:34:43,470 --> 00:34:46,580
It is tasty. It tastes clean.
472
00:34:59,330 --> 00:35:03,060
You have not been enjoying all those delicacies
473
00:35:03,060 --> 00:35:07,290
solely because of your own power, Your Majesty.
474
00:35:08,890 --> 00:35:11,480
Do you understand?
475
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,710
- Let's raise the bottoms up!
- Let's drink.
476
00:35:15,860 --> 00:35:18,230
You are so impressive, Hyungnim.
477
00:35:18,230 --> 00:35:21,910
Even with that incident in Byeokcheon, which almost cost your position,
478
00:35:21,910 --> 00:35:26,620
you turned it into an opportunity to bring back Seongju Jo family.
479
00:35:26,620 --> 00:35:29,060
You are the one who did all that.
480
00:35:29,060 --> 00:35:30,820
Hyungnim!
481
00:35:30,820 --> 00:35:33,030
I have always respected you.
482
00:35:35,070 --> 00:35:37,990
I always count on you, Hyungnim!
483
00:35:37,990 --> 00:35:39,690
You should try feeding him.
484
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,470
He is eating!
485
00:35:50,780 --> 00:35:53,700
Tell Jo Won Bo that
486
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:57,370
I repented bitterly after being served with
487
00:35:57,370 --> 00:36:00,970
this five-dishes meal!
488
00:36:05,730 --> 00:36:10,320
The power he is abusing on the throne
489
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,410
was given to him by my family and me.
490
00:36:14,410 --> 00:36:19,370
I am just letting him know that he should not forget that.
491
00:36:19,370 --> 00:36:21,990
Do not worry, Your Highness.
492
00:36:23,730 --> 00:36:29,050
I heard that he tossed the dining table out of anger.
493
00:36:29,050 --> 00:36:33,830
The royal meal represents attentiveness toward the eight provinces.
494
00:36:33,830 --> 00:36:37,450
He cannot ignore the hard work of the people.
495
00:36:48,380 --> 00:36:50,570
I am sure His Majesty
496
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,760
learned a lot from this.
497
00:37:32,980 --> 00:37:37,210
You cannot upset the Seongju Jo family.
498
00:37:38,430 --> 00:37:41,140
Your Majesty,
499
00:37:41,140 --> 00:37:44,690
you had better keep that in mind.
500
00:38:00,180 --> 00:38:02,400
Let me ask you a question.
501
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,940
- Where is the Military Supply Office?
- Turn to the right there.
502
00:38:05,940 --> 00:38:07,660
Thank you.
503
00:38:18,020 --> 00:38:20,270
I am here with the Crown Prince's order.
504
00:38:20,270 --> 00:38:24,850
Has anyone picked up gunpowder recently?
505
00:38:24,850 --> 00:38:26,900
Hold on just a moment.
506
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,710
- Are you sure this is the right person?
- That is correct.
507
00:38:49,020 --> 00:38:51,990
I will bring this ledger to His Highness.
508
00:39:08,430 --> 00:39:11,080
Why did he...
509
00:39:20,330 --> 00:39:24,280
Thanks to your care, my mother's back pain has improved a lot.
510
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,540
Mother wants to treat you to a meal. Please make sure to stop by, sir.
511
00:39:27,540 --> 00:39:30,120
I am afraid her back pain will get worse.
512
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,160
Please tell her not to worry about me.
513
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,430
Thank you. Are there any other comments?
514
00:39:53,130 --> 00:39:54,700
Eunuch Go!
515
00:39:59,110 --> 00:40:01,410
What is this about?
516
00:40:01,410 --> 00:40:03,340
It is nothing. Do not worry about it.
517
00:40:03,340 --> 00:40:05,740
How could it be nothing?
518
00:40:05,740 --> 00:40:08,480
Are you here with His Highness' order?
519
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,530
I am not.
520
00:40:10,530 --> 00:40:14,200
I was just passing by while running an errand.
521
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,280
Yes. Yes.
522
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,490
I was just passing by.
523
00:40:22,530 --> 00:40:25,380
Be well, Sir.
524
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:45,260
His Highness would be so hurt if he saw this ledger.
525
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,320
Did you look into the man who got the sulfur?
526
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:54,950
I barely managed to find this after searching pharmacies for three days.
527
00:41:03,210 --> 00:41:05,730
Have you visited the general stores?
528
00:41:05,730 --> 00:41:07,850
I have been doing that.
529
00:41:07,850 --> 00:41:11,320
There are countless stores that sell beeswax in Hanyang.
530
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,600
It's true, but if you find the names of the people who purchased the sulfur and gunpowder,
531
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,520
there would be no reason to search anymore.
532
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,320
Do you not agree?
533
00:41:23,430 --> 00:41:27,120
He was so generous. He gave me all that money
534
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,360
and took all the beeswax I had!
535
00:41:33,630 --> 00:41:36,300
Do you mind if I take this ledger with me?
536
00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:38,030
By the way,
537
00:41:38,030 --> 00:41:40,240
whom do you work for?
538
00:41:46,670 --> 00:41:50,610
Aigoo! I did not realize you work for the Crown Prince!
539
00:41:50,610 --> 00:41:52,710
Feel free to take it!
540
00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:54,340
Yes.
541
00:42:09,830 --> 00:42:11,320
My goodness!
542
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:13,300
Aigoo! What should I do?
543
00:42:13,300 --> 00:42:16,200
Are you okay? I am sorry. I had a lot on my mind.
544
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:20,240
Whatever! You should still watch where you are going!
545
00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:24,880
It takes so long to put everything on the carrier.
546
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,670
Forget it. Just be on your way.
547
00:42:29,900 --> 00:42:31,920
I am sorry.
548
00:43:00,860 --> 00:43:03,630
Whom did you say it was just now?
549
00:43:03,630 --> 00:43:07,860
The one who purchased beeswax, gunpowder, and sulfur around the same time
550
00:43:07,860 --> 00:43:09,650
was really...
551
00:43:13,310 --> 00:43:15,760
It is definitely true.
552
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,960
I got the ledgers from all three places.
553
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,700
Open it. I will confirm with my own eyes.
554
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,220
Beeswax, gunpowder, and sulfur.
555
00:43:39,220 --> 00:43:42,910
That means what set the plum tree on fire was not the lightening,
556
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,570
but it was really this person?
557
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,250
What brings you here all the way from Royal Investigation Bureau?
558
00:44:00,250 --> 00:44:03,040
Do not miss a single person!
559
00:44:15,220 --> 00:44:16,950
Mother!
560
00:44:16,950 --> 00:44:18,610
Mother!
561
00:44:24,210 --> 00:44:28,060
- How dare you do such a thing?
- I am just here because of the King's order.
562
00:44:28,060 --> 00:44:32,100
King's order? Do you even know where you are right now?
563
00:44:32,100 --> 00:44:36,250
Sinner Han Joong Eon, come out and receive the King's order!
564
00:44:53,970 --> 00:44:55,280
Father.
565
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:59,280
For disrespecting and showing disdain for the royal family,
566
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,330
His Majesty ordered us to escort you to the Royal Investigation Bureau!
567
00:45:02,330 --> 00:45:04,910
Did you hear me? Hurry up and arrest the sinner!
568
00:45:04,910 --> 00:45:06,400
Yes, sir!
569
00:45:09,090 --> 00:45:13,740
Disrespecting and showing disdain for the royal family? Do explain properly!
570
00:45:14,790 --> 00:45:16,640
Stop!
571
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,810
Let me explain.
572
00:45:26,340 --> 00:45:29,720
Your Highness, what brings you here...
573
00:45:33,740 --> 00:45:37,360
- What is this about?
- It is nothing. Do not worry about it.
574
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:39,900
Was he watching me?
575
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,870
Did you ask what it means to disrespect and show disdain for the royal family?
576
00:45:46,870 --> 00:45:49,580
On the day the head shaman mentioned the curse of Song Ga Myeol Yi,
577
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:54,640
a plum tree in the palace burnt because of lightning, just like what the curse entailed.
578
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,270
I am sure you are aware of that.
579
00:45:56,270 --> 00:45:58,800
A plum tree is an oyat tree.
580
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,510
That means the head shaman's curse, in which the Song family will destroy the Yi family,
581
00:46:02,510 --> 00:46:06,050
is Heaven's will.
582
00:46:06,050 --> 00:46:07,850
However,
583
00:46:07,850 --> 00:46:09,520
that is not the truth.
584
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,790
The reason the plum tree caught on fire
585
00:46:11,790 --> 00:46:15,900
wasn't the Heaven's will. It was done by a human.
586
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:22,600
He used gunpowder and sulfur to make it look like it got hit by lightning and burnt.
587
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:28,150
And he applied beeswax on the tree, so it burns unusually long.
588
00:46:28,150 --> 00:46:32,690
Don't you think it's such a brilliant idea, Left State Minister?
589
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:39,310
I heard this household's servant bought beeswax for his lord.
590
00:46:39,310 --> 00:46:41,700
Is that true?
591
00:46:41,700 --> 00:46:43,010
No, Your Highness.
592
00:46:43,010 --> 00:46:46,390
It was my order. I needed beeswax for something.
593
00:46:46,390 --> 00:46:48,910
- It has nothing to do with Father!
- However,
594
00:46:48,910 --> 00:46:52,300
I heard it was Left State Minister who picked up gunpowder from Military Supply Office.
595
00:46:52,300 --> 00:46:55,270
That is correct, Your Highness.
596
00:46:55,270 --> 00:46:59,930
Not only that, you even asked the pharmacist to get you sulfur.
597
00:47:00,980 --> 00:47:03,180
Yes.
598
00:47:03,180 --> 00:47:06,300
That is correct, Your Highness.
599
00:47:06,300 --> 00:47:11,830
You personally brought in gunpowder and sulfur, the ingredients for explosives.
600
00:47:11,830 --> 00:47:15,250
Surprisingly, those things you purchased
601
00:47:16,860 --> 00:47:18,530
were used
602
00:47:19,530 --> 00:47:21,600
in a case where the royal family
603
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,950
was cursed and threatened under the name of a ghost.
604
00:47:27,210 --> 00:47:30,570
What do you think of that,
605
00:47:30,570 --> 00:47:32,100
Left State Minister?
606
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,240
It is impossible to do that
607
00:47:37,240 --> 00:47:40,500
without a traitorous mind.
608
00:47:41,540 --> 00:47:44,170
- My Lady!
- My Lady!
609
00:47:44,170 --> 00:47:48,610
No, Father! How could you say the word "traitorous"?
610
00:47:52,530 --> 00:47:57,110
There is no greater crime than treason for a subject.
611
00:47:57,110 --> 00:48:01,350
Treason is not allowed by the Heavens, and no nation will forgive it.
612
00:48:01,350 --> 00:48:03,920
The sinner who led treason will have his limbs torn apart
613
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:08,000
and his family will become servants for the royal servant's family or get sent away 2,000 li away.
614
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,600
His family deserves to be punished by being decimated.
615
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,190
That is the law of this country.
616
00:48:14,190 --> 00:48:17,210
I believe you understand that well, Sergeant Han Seong On.
617
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:22,050
Your Highness, please allow me to reinvestigate the case.
618
00:48:22,050 --> 00:48:25,060
I will make sure to prove my father's innocence.
619
00:48:25,060 --> 00:48:28,670
Is what I said any different from the order you got from His Majesty?
620
00:48:28,670 --> 00:48:31,010
All are correct, Your Highness.
621
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:34,180
Stop.
622
00:48:36,510 --> 00:48:38,510
Open the door of his storage.
623
00:48:38,510 --> 00:48:41,170
Pardon? Why is that...
624
00:48:43,540 --> 00:48:47,100
I will prove to you that Left State Minister
625
00:48:47,100 --> 00:48:49,600
and Sergeant are innocent.
626
00:49:35,220 --> 00:49:38,060
They are fine candles with high-quality beeswax.
627
00:49:38,060 --> 00:49:41,680
You probably needed beeswax to make these candles.
628
00:49:49,180 --> 00:49:52,030
Wedding is a festivity for the neighborhood.
629
00:49:52,030 --> 00:49:56,300
Looks like Left State Minister was planning a grand party for his son.
630
00:49:56,300 --> 00:49:59,670
They are fire pockets for fireworks.
631
00:50:04,810 --> 00:50:07,040
You must have needed sulfur for these.
632
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,480
Do we have one thing left, then?
633
00:50:13,370 --> 00:50:16,430
Left State Minister, where did you keep the gunpowder?
634
00:50:39,610 --> 00:50:43,690
A while back, the governor of Gaeseong asked me to get
635
00:50:43,690 --> 00:50:46,340
gunpowder for repairing blue slates.
636
00:50:46,340 --> 00:50:48,910
He has a pavilion his ancestors cherished
637
00:50:48,910 --> 00:50:52,170
and it has been managed with care for generations.
638
00:50:52,170 --> 00:50:57,300
But its roof had been damaged by rain, so he wanted to repair it.
639
00:50:57,300 --> 00:51:01,670
I was originally planning to send it along Sergeant
640
00:51:01,670 --> 00:51:05,590
on his first trip there, but...
641
00:51:05,590 --> 00:51:08,250
Because of the death of the governor of Gaeseong,
642
00:51:08,250 --> 00:51:11,260
it could not find its owner.
643
00:51:19,450 --> 00:51:21,110
Did you hear that?
644
00:51:21,110 --> 00:51:25,780
Has the innocence of the Left State Minister and Sergeant been proven now?
645
00:51:26,770 --> 00:51:28,390
Yes, Your Highness.
646
00:51:28,390 --> 00:51:31,710
If so, tell me now.
647
00:51:32,740 --> 00:51:35,400
Who is the one...
648
00:51:36,980 --> 00:51:39,560
who sent you here?
649
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,410
Your Majesty, according to your order,
650
00:51:42,410 --> 00:51:46,870
I sent the officers of the Royal Investigation Bureau to Left State Minister Han Joong Eon's house.
651
00:51:46,870 --> 00:51:50,130
Please punish them according to the law now.
652
00:52:06,370 --> 00:52:08,830
Report what you saw to the man who sent you.
653
00:52:08,830 --> 00:52:13,100
I will let His Majesty know that Left State Minister is innocent myself.
654
00:52:13,100 --> 00:52:15,110
Yes, Your Highness.
655
00:52:16,270 --> 00:52:17,910
Let us go.
656
00:52:47,180 --> 00:52:48,850
Your Highness.
657
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,600
I thought...
658
00:53:05,930 --> 00:53:08,900
you no longer trusted me.
659
00:53:12,470 --> 00:53:15,590
Somebody told me this once. "No trust, no foundation."
660
00:53:15,590 --> 00:53:17,690
Without trust, one cannot stand.
661
00:53:17,690 --> 00:53:21,690
If for some reason, it needs to lose one, the military should be given up first.
662
00:53:21,690 --> 00:53:23,810
The second thing to give up should be food.
663
00:53:23,810 --> 00:53:26,450
But trust... At least trust...
664
00:53:26,450 --> 00:53:28,170
needs to be retained.
665
00:53:28,170 --> 00:53:30,870
That way, you can protect the country.
666
00:53:30,870 --> 00:53:35,330
Protecting the country and protecting a person. They cannot be different.
667
00:53:35,330 --> 00:53:37,690
Is the one who said that
668
00:53:39,740 --> 00:53:42,430
Eunuch Go Soon Dol?
669
00:53:42,430 --> 00:53:45,480
Also, you told me this other saying.
670
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,510
- "No allies, no success."
- A nobleman who will achieve great things
671
00:53:48,510 --> 00:53:52,190
never loses the ones near him.
672
00:53:52,190 --> 00:53:54,610
In order not to lose you,
673
00:53:57,150 --> 00:53:58,980
I had to trust you.
674
00:53:58,980 --> 00:54:01,930
You must have thought a lot about
675
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:07,570
what we could have used gunpowder,
676
00:54:09,090 --> 00:54:12,310
beeswax, and sulfur for
677
00:54:12,310 --> 00:54:15,300
and why we bought them
678
00:54:15,300 --> 00:54:18,250
to keep your trust in my family and me.
679
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,460
I definitely had the ledgers.
680
00:54:29,460 --> 00:54:32,060
When were they swapped out like this?
681
00:54:32,060 --> 00:54:33,820
Aigoo, Aigoo!
682
00:54:33,820 --> 00:54:36,060
What should I do?
683
00:54:37,180 --> 00:54:39,580
I collided with a basket merchant leaving the store.
684
00:54:39,580 --> 00:54:41,600
Someone must have swapped them, then.
685
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,010
Someone must have been following me.
686
00:54:46,020 --> 00:54:47,950
Who do you think took it?
687
00:54:47,950 --> 00:54:52,570
Left State Minister's sworn enemy, Jo Won Bo, the Prince of the Court of Seongju.
688
00:54:52,570 --> 00:54:56,970
If he's the one who swapped out the ledgers, he must have understood what they meant.
689
00:54:56,970 --> 00:55:00,090
Also, if he found out what they meant,
690
00:55:00,090 --> 00:55:02,640
he probably did something about it.
691
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,940
He will not miss any chance.
692
00:55:04,940 --> 00:55:08,470
He is definitely not someone who will hesitate in front of prey.
693
00:55:08,470 --> 00:55:11,740
- Left State Minister and Sergeant are in danger.
- If so,
694
00:55:11,740 --> 00:55:15,100
do you believe Left State Minister is innocent?
695
00:55:15,100 --> 00:55:18,110
If Sergeant and Left State Minister are innocent,
696
00:55:18,110 --> 00:55:22,640
they must have needed beeswax, gunpowder, and sulfur for a reason.
697
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,560
Why did they need all of them at once?
698
00:55:26,740 --> 00:55:29,000
Your Highness.
699
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:33,390
- If you look inside their storage-
- We can find out...
700
00:55:34,470 --> 00:55:37,250
why they needed them.
701
00:55:37,250 --> 00:55:41,240
But Your Highness, if you opened the storage and-
702
00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:43,660
If my belief was wrong?
703
00:55:43,660 --> 00:55:46,860
It will end Left State Minister's political career without a doubt,
704
00:55:46,860 --> 00:55:51,650
the Han family of Yeongsan will be destroyed. That means,
705
00:55:51,650 --> 00:55:55,450
Jo Won Bo and the Jo family of Seongju will have eliminated their enemy,
706
00:55:55,450 --> 00:55:58,530
and end up with even more power.
707
00:56:04,690 --> 00:56:06,280
Your Highness.
708
00:56:07,330 --> 00:56:09,790
Do you really not have enough trust in them
709
00:56:11,060 --> 00:56:13,380
to open up their storage?
710
00:56:26,860 --> 00:56:29,530
Just like what you told me once,
711
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:36,150
if I did not get the ghost's letter...
712
00:56:36,150 --> 00:56:39,180
Your friend will turn his back against you and aim his sword at you...
713
00:56:39,180 --> 00:56:42,730
When I became the Crown Prince, I decided not to have any friends.
714
00:56:42,730 --> 00:56:45,860
If I did not get the ghost's letter,
715
00:56:45,860 --> 00:56:48,340
I am sure that...
716
00:56:48,340 --> 00:56:52,520
I would have opened up that storage solely based on
717
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,420
my trust in my old friend, Sergeant Han.
718
00:57:06,550 --> 00:57:09,600
I will open up their storage.
719
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,190
I will try...
720
00:57:14,310 --> 00:57:16,280
trusting Sergeant and Left State Minister.
721
00:57:23,830 --> 00:57:25,470
Will you...
722
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:32,500
be friends with me again?
723
00:57:35,310 --> 00:57:36,910
Your Highness.
724
00:57:39,180 --> 00:57:40,770
I...
725
00:57:42,070 --> 00:57:45,760
was never not your friend.
726
00:57:54,190 --> 00:57:56,370
I do not know why...
727
00:57:59,090 --> 00:58:01,720
tears keep coming down.
728
00:58:09,470 --> 00:58:11,510
It is a miracle
729
00:58:12,550 --> 00:58:16,100
for two people to meet, rely on, and trust each other.
730
00:58:16,100 --> 00:58:17,550
Yes.
731
00:58:18,620 --> 00:58:21,060
That is a miracle.
732
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:27,720
I will start creating those miracles every day from now on.
733
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,520
I will have a friend, trust that friend,
734
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:33,050
and...
735
00:58:34,090 --> 00:58:36,090
also, protect him.
736
00:59:26,410 --> 00:59:28,960
[Our Blooming Youth]
737
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,620
Will you be my friend, too?
738
00:59:31,620 --> 00:59:33,930
His Highness, the foundation of the country,
739
00:59:33,930 --> 00:59:37,200
cannot separate public and personal matters.
740
00:59:37,200 --> 00:59:40,510
You are taking advantage of the royal family's misfortune.
741
00:59:40,510 --> 00:59:42,080
Why are you looking at me like that?
742
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,460
Make sure to keep him alive and bring him to me.
743
00:59:44,460 --> 00:59:47,380
I will follow your order, Your Majesty!
744
00:59:47,380 --> 00:59:50,300
All the cases are pointing toward Byeokcheon.
745
00:59:50,300 --> 00:59:51,290
Come on in.
746
00:59:51,290 --> 00:59:54,180
The Crown Prince cannot get involved in politics.
747
00:59:54,180 --> 00:59:56,967
Your hometown is Byeokcheon, as I hear.
