(Yoon Se A)

(My Sassy Girl)

Make up a fake letter sent to Prince Choo Seong from the queen.

You must make it look like they are deeply in love.

Refer to a letter I attached...

in copying her handwriting.

Where did you...

Where did you get it?

My apologies, Your Majesty.

Everything started from my mistake.

What do you mean by that?

The blind mother ruins everything.

Do you remember this sentence?

"The blind mother ruins..."

I...

I wrote it.

I wrote it and posted on the wall.

Do you...

want me to believe what you just said?

You must not want to believe it.

But it is the truth.

I should have not listened to you in the first place.

Then...

ask Master Gyun yourself.

That will be the most certain way to find out the truth.

You lost your memory.

Your Majesty, please punish me.

I know I will not be forgiven...

for what I have done even if I get punished.

Stop!

- Stop. - Your Majesty.

Leave.

It is hard for me...

to even face you right now.

There must be a way to find her.

I shall help you from now on.

Do not be so disappointed.

I...

will look for another way.

Right.

He would never do such a thing.

Master Gyun.

Master Gyun.

I just heard something ridiculous.

What is it?

It does not make sense...

that I think it is a lie.

I do not think it is true.

Your Highness.

I heard you...

were the one who dethroned my mother.

It is not true, right?

I know it is not true,

but...

could you tell me yourself?

Tell me it is not true.

Tell me that I am mistaken and it is a lie.

Why are you not saying anything?

Tell me it is not true.

Why?

Why are you not denying it?

It is not true, right? Tell me.

Deny it!

My apologies,

Your Highness.

I am sorry.

"Confucius said..."

"that you must answer immediately whenever your parents call you."

"You must leave work if you have been working on something."

"You must spit out what you have been eating."

"You must leave everything behind to answer your parents."

Prince.

Yes, Mother.

I called you to check if you understood...

what Confucius emphasizes.

I shall go wherever it is to see you...

if you wish to see me.

Do you mean it?

Mother, please be healthy and stay by my side for a long time.

That way, I can follow his teaching of filial piety.

You are the only one...

who cares for me.

"Our bodies are received by us from our parents,"

"and we must not presume to injure or wound them."

"This is the beginning of filial piety."

Woo.

Is something wrong?

It is nothing.

Are you sure you are okay?

Yes, I am all right. Do not worry.

I am worried about Woo's condition.

He says not to worry about him,

but he does not look fine at all.

My lady.

Woo has found his memory back.

"The blind mother ruins everything."

Our son wrote that sentence.

"The blind mother ruins everything"?

That poster was buried...

in his lost memory.

Tell me.

How...

How could our son write that...

He was only a child then.

He lost his memory because of it.

He was suffering so much inside, was he not?

And why did you not tell me sooner?

I am his mother,

but I did not know why my son became ill.

I am sorry.

Your Highness, it is us.

What is the matter?

Well... Something terrible happened.

Why is he holding the royal interrogation all of a sudden?

Whom is he intending to interrogate?

Let me go. Let go!

How dare you!

Let go! Let go of me!

Your Majesty, we have brought the sinner.

Your Majesty, why did you...

Do you know what this is?

"Make up a fake letter sent to Prince Choo Seong from the queen."

"You must make it look like they are deeply in love."

"Refer to a letter I attached in copying her handwriting."

Shall I read the letter you attached?

I do not know any of this.

- I... - There is clear evidence,

yet are you going to deny it until the end?

It is all a conspiracy.

It must be done by someone who wants me to be dethroned.

Please trust me.

It is all a conspiracy?

A sinner was killed in a prison of the Office of Investigation.

The one who killed...

Min Yoo Hwan and distributed the flyers.

A guard confessed that he was...

paid to let you and the sinner meet in the prison that day.

And...

are you still going to say it is a conspiracy?

Was it all done by you?

It is not true.

Then who?

All the evidence and witnesses are pointing at you.

If it is not you, then who?

Your Majesty, I really do not know anything about this.

Please trust me.

Tell me.

Did you do it by yourself?

Your Majesty.

Tell me right this instant!

Please spare me.

- Actually... - Your Majesty.

Please calm down.

She committed high treason,

but she is the Queen and the mother of the Prince.

Please do not lose your control.

Let this be dealt with according to the law.

Your Majesty.

Please let it be dealt with according to the law.

Please let it be dealt with according to the law.

- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.

Please let it be dealt with according to the law.

- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.

I heard Ghost Mask appeared at the Office of Investigation recently.

He shot an arrow that had a letter attached.

Is it true?

Why do you ask?

If we find him,

we may be able to find more details about the incident 10 years ago...

and to catch someone who is behind the Queen as well.

They will come to take Wol Myung's life tonight.

Stop.

Wol Myung.

Is your name...

Wol Myung?

There must be poison in the soup.

- Open the door. - Yes, master.

What are you doing? Open the door quickly.

- Call a physician. - Yes, master.

I hid him just in case...

they try to hurt him again after finding out that he is alive.

They always use the same method like they poisoned Minister of Taxation.

If they are cornered, they cut their tail and hide themselves.

Hurry up and bring me the Prince.

He is the only way I can survive in this.

Go and tell him that his mother is framed and locked in her room.

They say he will be with the Queen Dowager all day long.

How could I dare step in her residence?

Bring him here by any means.

Have you not given up with your greed?

Why is it my greed that I want to see my son?

Give up now.

We have the evidence and witnesses.

How long will you resist?

I am innocent.

It is all a conspiracy.

Will Master Jung let you live?

He has gotten rid of the people who could drag him down.

You know more than anyone else.

What are you talking about?

Confess everything honestly...

and ask for forgiveness.

That is the only way you can survive in this.

Think carefully.

What is written here?

This person is a wanted.

It says something about high treason.

- High treason? - Should we not look for him?

They will grant 1,000 yang to anyone who catches this man.

- 1,000 yang? - That is a lot.

- Master Gyun? - I am certain.

Master Gyun is the only person...

who recently asked to have a private talk with the King.

How did Master Gyun...

have the evidence of the incident 10 years ago?

Are you here to kill me?

I will never die alone.

I am different from those who were killed.

You know well.

Am I not the only person whom you cannot trust...

but have to trust?

So...

I am here to give you a chance.

The Prince thinks you are his birth mother.

What will happen...

if the King passes away earlier than expected?

Then you will have to rule as a regent.

Stay in hiding for the time being.

I will not take that long.

Are you going to kill the King?

There is no other way.

You will never be able to change his mind since there is the evidence.

That is the last chance I can give you.

Before then,

you need to do me a favor.

First,

we need to turn the tables.

What do you think you are doing?

How dare you let this prisoner come in here?

Your Majesty,

I...

came to confess my sins.

10 years ago,

I requested to fabricate the letter...

and poisoned the sinners imprisoned in the Office of Investigation.

It was all my doing.

However,

I did only because I was threatened.

What do you mean?

Who threatened you?

That is...

the Director of Special Counselors, Gyun Pil Hyung.

I begged him...

that I could not do it any longer,

and he framed me because he was afraid I would confess everything.

Then...

why did you not confess during the interrogation?

I was afraid.

I was afraid you might...

abandon me if I admitted to my sins.

Your Majesty, do not forgive me.

Also, please punish Director Gyun Pil Hyung...

who has committed high treason.

That is nonsense.

How could Director Gyun commit such a thing?

You must not believe what the sinner says without any evidence.

He is right.

It is her sly trick to deceive...

Your Majesty and all the officials.

Please do not lose your insight.

"The blind mother ruins everything."

What if Master Gyun wrote that sentence?

Please call them in immediately...

and check if it is true or not.

Your Majesty, please arrest them immediately.

Whether her confession is true or not, I believe you need to...

investigate on this first since it is an important matter.

Please give us your order, Your Majesty.

- Give us your order. - Give us your order.

(The incident that happened 10 years ago started from a lie.)

Sinners Gyun Pil Hyung and Gyun Woo.

Come out and take the royal order.

- No, you cannot take him. - Go.

You cannot take him. Why are you doing this?

Woo.

Father.

Arrest the traitor.

- Yes, master. - Yes, master.

- Mother. - Oh, no.

No, Woo! Woo!

Your Highness!

Your Highness, they are...

- They are in huge trouble. - Who are?

The Queen confessed who was behind her...

She did not confess Master Jung's name.

She pointed out Director Gyun and his son.

Master Gyun.

It has been confirmed that Master Gyun wrote the sentence...

10 years ago.

Both his father and himself admitted to it.

But it cannot be the evidence that they were behind the Queen.

We are investigating on it.

The Queen claims that the evidence itself...

which Master Gyun handed in was fabricated.

The one who handed the evidence to my father is...

Yes,

it is Master Gyun.

Did you also fabricate...

the evidence related to the Queen's treason?

I said I did not.

How brazen.

Both the father and son are so stubborn and do not give in.

Then...

we can use a sharper knife to cut them down.

Search everywhere.

Search here.

Find every single thing that is related to the flyers.

- Yes, master. - Yes, master.

What is going on?

- Not this. - Gosh, look.

- These are just books. - Go away.

Why are you doing this?

You!

What are you doing?

There has been a report that the flyers were made in here.

Why would we make flyers here?

You must know since you made them yourselves.

We are writers who write novels in here.

- We... - I found something.

This. Is this not for making flyers?

What are you talking about? That is not ours.

Do not deny. You hid them in the inner room.

We know...

that you made the flyers here and spread fake rumors.

What are you talking about?

Admit to it when you are taken to the Office of Investigation.

Confess that Master Gyun was behind all this.

That is...

the only way you can be saved.

- Arrest them. - Yes, master.

I am sorry, Father.

It is...

all my fault.

You were only 10 years old then.

It cannot be only your fault.

I am more at fault...

for turning a blind eye to it when I knew everything.

Father.

So do not blame yourself.

- Let go. - We did not do anything wrong.

Let go of me.

- We are innocent. - Do not do this.

- We did nothing wrong. - Why are you...

Master Gyun!

- Woo. - Woo.

What happened?

I did just as you ordered.

Well done.

Visit my place some time.

Let us have a drink together.

It is my honor, master.

Master Gyun's friends have been arrested for spreading the flyers.

Things are going to Master Gyun's disadvantage.

Father, you know that it was not done by them.

They found evidence, so an investigation must follow.

Father.

I hope someone innocent does not get falsely charged anymore.

Da Yun.

What brings you here?

I am too ashamed to say this, but I came here to ask for a favor.

A favor?

My brother and father were taken to the Office of Investigation.

Please talk in favor of them and make them...

- get released. - Why should I do that?

It is not like I am his fiancee.

I hope you do not come to see me for things like this again.

Wait.

- Da Yun! - Lady Da Yun!

Goodness.

Goodness, what should I do? Woo...

Throw it away.

- What? - No.

Burn it.

I need to destroy it so that no one else can have it.

You look terrible.

I heard you wrote that sentence.

Why did you make the flyers and distribute them?

I did not do such a thing.

Wrong. You should not answer it like that.

Let me ask you again.

- Why did you kill Min Yoo Hwan? - I did not.

Why did you fabricate the incident 10 years ago?

I did not.

I think the one behind all this...

is someone else.

You are wrong again.

I said you should not answer it that way.

The truth will be revealed no matter what.

Who will be next?

I heard your close friends were arrested.

Guess who will be next.

Your mother?

Your sister?

Or...

the Princess that you care greatly for?

Who will be better?

Do you feel like confessing now?

There must be a sacrifice...

to protect something precious.

Princess.

I learned a lesson...

from living my life that not everything goes my way.

Sometimes, a truth turns into a lie...

and a lie turns into a truth.

Also, there are times when they do not get revealed.

But even if it is not right now...

Even if it is after a long time,

those lies and misunderstandings are to be revealed some day.

That letter...

Why do you think Master Gyun handed it in just now?

10 years ago...

or...

It would have changed if he had brought the letter...

a little earlier than now.

He lost his memory.

He came to write the poster because of a misunderstanding.

He followed your mother to turn it back,

and he lost his memory in the woods.

Are you okay?

Still, I hate him.

Even though it was out of his misunderstanding...

Even though there was a reason,

I still hate him.

I resent him.

Why must it be him...

of all people?

Why did he...

I know how difficult...

and resentful it is to stand, but let us endure a little longer.

The truth will be revealed at the end.

Yes, Grandmother.

I am sorry.

I am sorry for making you suffer like this.

Your Highness.

Lieutenant Kang.

What brings you here at this late night?

Are you here...

to see Master Gyun?

Why did you come to a place like this?

I heard about it.

You were mistaken and you lost your memory.

And...

I heard that you handed the evidence to Father.

I am not here to forgive you.

Even though it is true...

Even though there was nothing you could do about it,

I cannot forgive you.

I came to tell you that I cannot.

Your Highness.

I know that you were not behind the Queen.

This time as well, it must be Master Jung's scheme.

Still, it does not change...

It does not change the fact that you caused the incident.

I will try not to make things go Master Jung's way anyhow.

But it is not because of you.

I wanted to tell you this...

in person so that...

you do not...

be mistaken or have false hope.

That is why I am here.

I am done talking, so I will leave now.

Can I talk to Lieutenant Kang?

He has...

finished with the preparation.

I am not sure...

if we can trust Master Jung's promise.

Look at the situation I am in.

I must hold onto it whether he will keep it or not.

Your Highness, did Master Jung...

Did Master Jung not promise you that he would prepare a boat for you?

Let us hurry back.

How dare you block my way? Get lost right this instant!

Your Highness.

No!

How dare you!

I am the Queen of this country!

If you kill me,

you will never be able to save your lives!

Do not come any closer.

Send this message to Master Jung.

I will never die alone.

I will become a ghost...

and drag him down with me if I must!

It came to an end, so there has to be a beginning too.

All we need is to make up justification now.

"After the Lee family's destruction,"

"a king from the Jung family appears..."

"and a new world lies ahead from then on."

Why don’t you make this prophecy real?

We are distributing...

copies of this book in secret.

Soon, the rumor will spread out.

Subjects always...

dream of a new hero and a new hope.

Be their hero, Master Jung.

All right, let us enjoy this drink for today.

- Let me pour you a drink. - All right.

For a new world!

- For a new world. - For a new world.

Who is there?

How dare you try to confront me?

It is over, Jung Ki Jun.

You...

Do you recognize me?

Prince Eun Sung.

Ghost Mask is a younger brother of Prince Choo Seong.

I thought you died 10 years ago.

You survived like a rat.

You are a rat, not me.

That was quite a scene...

when you ran away, framing an innocent person.

It was nice meeting you in a while.

Goodbye.
