Here you go. Thank you.

They're trying to kill me!

Father! Older brother! Help me please!

There she is! Get her!

Dong Yi!

Dong Yi!

- My Lady? - Did you find her?

She's nowhere to be found!

I checked the Royal Treasury and the Bureau of Music!

Lady Jung!

- Something terrible has happened! Hurry! - What is it?

Hurry!

Ae-Jong saw someone come out of this room!

So we came in and this is what we found!

It was dark, but I'm sure they were masked men!

I saw them leaving this room.

- My Lady! - Someone's after Dong Yi.

Dong Yi's in danger! Her life is in danger!

What do we do?

Sir!

- Who are you? - I'm here to see the Inspector-General!

You...!

- What brings you here at this hour? - Sir...!

Show it to me.

Those treacherous fellows!

They committed this unforgiveable crime and now they've sent men to kill you?

I think the fire at the Royal Treasury was set to destroy this evidence!

That's obvious. But they have no idea you have this.

- What should we do? - I'll deliver this to His Majesty.

We have no time to waste, so I'll go to the Royal Tombs myself.

You need to take cover somewhere.

If they came into the Palace, who knows what else they're capable of?

Your palace garb is too obvious. I'll prepare something else for you to wear.

Let's hurry. You need to be somewhere safe.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Tell Jangsweh to escort Lady Chun to my uncle's house in Yeonchun.

Yes, My Lord!

Sir, what's going on? Sir!

The masked men are here! You need to escape!

- What? - Let's go! Hurry!

- Did you find her? - No, sir!

She's here somewhere. Find her and kill her!

- Do you hear me? - Yes, sir!

- Go with this man! Hurry! - What about you?

I'll try and distract them.

- Take this in case something happens to me. - Sir!

You must make sure His Majesty gets this evidence!

She's not here. Go that way!

Hurry and go! Go!

Go..!

Where is the girl?

I won't ask again. Speak!

Do you know what you're doing?

We'll be at the main road soon!

This way!

Sir...! Sir!

- My Lady! - Sir!

What happened? You said someone's trying to kill Dong Yi?

Three hours ago, there was a fire at the Royal Treasury,

and unknown assailants entered the Palace.

They rummaged her chambers!

What?

They used His Majesty's absence to destroy the evidence and go after Dong Yi!

Where's Dong Yi right now?

She's disappeared.

What...?

We haven't seen her. She's disappeared.

It's past midnight! Why is there no news?

The records room has been destroyed, so...

I'm not referring to the records room!

What about Chun Dong Yi?

Sir, they're back!

What happened to the wench? Has she been killed?

What did you say? They couldn't find Dong Yi?

That wretched wench ran away even though she was hit with a dagger.

They couldn't find her body!

- Then she could be alive! - That's not possible.

These men are professionals.

The wound they gave her should have been fatal.

But even if she were alive, she can't have gotten far.

We shouldn't let our guard down yet.

This girl has been breathing down our backs.

She must be taken care of! There must be no mistake!

My private army and the Left Police are both searching the capital and outlying areas.

So you must not be worried, Your Highness.

I never want to see that girl again, Brother!

And you never will. Trust me.

Even now, the beasts in the mountains may have smelled her blood and eaten her already!

No... I can't fall now.

No... no..! I'll do it.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Here...

Why does it keep missing?

Maybe there's something wrong with the bow!

Your Majesty, perhaps you can try with mine.

Forget it. I just needed something to blame.

Your Majesty, a hunt like this is difficult even for warriors. Perhaps you should rest...

No... Let's keep going until I catch something.

- Tell them to flush out the animals. - Yes, Your Majesty.

- Flush out the animals! - Yes, sir!

Let's go!

- Your Majesty, you've hit a deer! - I did? I hit a deer?

Congratulations, Your Majesty!

Let's go!

Good thing I had training! I even caught myself a deer!

Yes, Your Majesty!

When we return, summon a shoemaker to make scroll shoes out of the deerskin!

Scroll shoes? You mean a woman's shoes?

If I tell her I caught a deer, she'll tell me I'm lying.

I'm going to give her the shoes and brag about my catch!

Are you going to give the shoes to Lady Investigator Chun?

Yes, she's so busy running around the Palace like a puppy that she'll need a good pair of shoes!

Make sure they're sturdy and nice-looking!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, I have bad news! You need to come quickly!

Bad news? What happened?

Make sure you look at it carefully.

This is the portrait of the missing Lady Investigator Chun.

Nothing must be missed. You must find her, do you hear me?

- Yes, sir! - Everyone move out!

Yes, sir!

Sir! Chief Suh!

So did you meet the Inspector-General?

What did he say? Did he see Dong Yi...?

Sir... the Inspector-General passed away last night!

What?

Assailants attacked his entire household. There were no survivors!

But the Left Police Bureau determined it to be a robbery.

But that's impossible. The Inspector-General was assassinated!

- How could this happen? - Sir, perhaps Lady Chun is also...

Dong Yi...!

Dong Yi!

Dong Yi...!

Dong Yi!

Dong Yi..!

I have to go to His Majesty. I have to give this evidence to him.

Your Majesty...

A fire at the Royal Treasury? How could this be?

Your Majesty, some people may have planned a mutiny in your absence.

A mutiny? How could that be?

Tribunal Governor, you will go ahead and find out what happened.

Yes, Your Majesty.

- Make preparations for our return! - Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Highness.

I heard you didn't sleep last night! Please lie...

This is not the time for sleep, Mother.

Your Highness, it is Lady Cho.

Your Highness, I just received a message that His Majesty is on his way back.

He is?

Please don't worry, Your Highness.

Hee-Jae has said that everything will be fine.

But right now, the important thing is Dong Yi.

We cannot let our guard down until we find her body.

I don't understand.

If she's still alive, she should have gone to a physician.

But she is nowhere to be found in Dosung.

Where could she have gone?

- She couldn't have...! - Your Highness, what's wrong?

Could she have gone to His Majesty?

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty...!

Your Majesty...!

Your Majesty...!

Your Majesty...!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! It's me, Dong Yi!

Please come back!

I'm here, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Halt!

What is it, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty!

It's nothing. Let's go!

Your Majesty...

Please don't go... I have something to tell you...

Please come back, Your Majesty. Please...

Look at me just once...

Sir..! Sir, I have bad news!

I think Cha Chun Soo is going to do something!

What?

You don't think Chief Suh knows where she is either?

Yes, sir. Neither the Right Police Bureau nor the Office of Investigations...

... seem to know her whereabouts.

What are you doing here!

Have you lost your mind? What are you doing?

Just try it. You'll lose your head.

What is it? What do you want?

- What did you do with Dong Yi? - What?

Speak! What did you do with Dong Yi!

What? How do you know her?

She's... my sister.

What?

Your sister? Then you...?

Are you deaf? Where is Dong Yi?

Sir!

Put down your sword this instant!

- What do you think you're doing! - This is not your concern. Please go away!

- Chun Soo! - He knows where Dong Yi is!

- Send men in here! - Yes, sir!

Put down your sword! Now!

Sir!

Do you want to be executed as a criminal? Put down your sword now!

If you don't want Chief Suh to get in trouble too, you better put down your sword.

Are you out of your mind? You need to be focused right now!

We don't know where Dong Yi is!

I can't just sit here and do nothing!

They don't know where she is either!

The Left Police has been searching for her all night. That means she may still be safe!

- Sir! - We must be patient.

If we succumb to their plot now, we may lose the chance to rescue Dong Yi!

Succumb to their plot?

They're acting suspicious.

They're trying to frame Dong Yi for what happened last night!

Wh...what?

And that won't be all.

This letter was sent by my brother.

I don't think we'll ever see Dong Yi again.

Inform the Councilor and tell him to carry on with our plans.

Yes, Your Highness.

Now it's your turn, Yoon.

Get rid of the obstacles in front and run forward.

Don't worry, Uncle. Everything is ready.

No one can hold us back now.

What is this saying?

Lady Investigator Chun was the one who set the fire?

All evidence points to her, Your Majesty.

Eunuchs and Royal Guards are witnesses to her leaving the Royal Treasury in a hurry.

But that's impossible. Why would she do such a thing?

I regret to inform you that it was to frame Consort Hui, Your Majesty.

What? Frame her?

Yes, this is the Tribunal's report on the movements of the Chief Suh...

... and the Office of Investigations.

Lady Investigator Chun was convinced that...

Consort Hui was behind the wrongful dethronement of the Queen.

Along with Chief Suh and some other Lady Investigators,

... she secretly investigated Consort Hui.

Declaring that there was corruption in the Royal Treasury was just a cover-up.

In order to accuse Consort Hui, they looked for evidence that wasn't there.

When they were in jeopardy of being found out,

Lady Chun set fire to the Royal Treasury and ran away.

This can't be...

You wretches! Stop that right now!

I'll destroy all of you!

Wretched fellows!

Stop this right now! How dare you investigate the Police?

It's not the Police we're investigating. It's you, Chief Suh.

You know the reason why, don't you?

Do you think the truth will be concealed this way?

Do you think your crimes will be hidden?

No, the crimes will be revealed and the criminals will pay for what they have done!

I'm referring to you and your people.

- Seize them! - Yes, sir!

- Bind them! - Yes, sir!

- Lady Jung..! Jung Im...! - What do we do?

My Lady..! Lady Jung!

Jung Im!

- Take them away! - Yes, sir!

You mean they've all been taken to the Tribunal?

Yes, Your Majesty. Chun Dong Yi has disappeared.

Everyone else who was involved has been taken to the Tribunal for questioning.

- Your Majesty...! - Your Majesty!

What do we do? This is because of me.

All of this is because of me!

Young Dal! Over here!

What's going on, sir?

Dong Yi set fire to the Palace and ran away? Nobody knows where she is?

What should we do, Young Dal? I'm so scared!

Lady Jung and Jung Im who worked with her have been arrested!

And the Right Police Bureau is empty!

I don't care about them! Where's Dong Yi? What's happened to her?

In order to accuse Consort Hui, they looked for evidence that wasn't there.

When they were in jeopardy of being found out,

Lady Chun set fire to the Royal Treasury and ran away.

Eunuch Han, are you there?

The Tribunal must have been planning this.

What will you do now, sir?

Sir!

You should go outside. His... His Majesty is here!

- His Majesty? - Yes!

Tell me. What's going on?

What happened?

Chief Suh!

Everything happened according to the report.

Dong Yi and I were secretly investigating Consort Hui and the South Faction...

... for the wrongful dethronement of the Queen.

What?

Then why didn't you tell me?

Speak! I asked you a question!

We couldn't.

We couldn't inform you any of this without concrete evidence.

So you and Dong Yi were looking for evidence this whole time?

How could you do this?

How could Dong Yi not mention this to me?

She should have explained it to me first!

She couldn't have done so, Your Majesty.

What?

This concerns Consort Hui, whom you care for deeply.

How could she tell you about this easily?

So what is it?

Was Consort Hui really involved?

Did you find the evidence?

No, we didn't.

What?

We don't have any evidence to prove her guilt, Your Majesty.

That's because Dong Yi disappeared...

... when she went to the Royal Treasury to find the last piece of evidence.

Then... then where is she right now?

We don't know. Nobody knows where she is after last night.

Your Majesty, Dong Yi knew everything from the start.

But she disappeared without a trace...

... without telling anyone, including you.

Your Majesty...

Sir...

Now everything depends on His Majesty's decision.

Your Majesty...

- I need to talk to you about the Dowager Queen... - Dong Yi...

- Your Majesty, I need to tell you... - What am I saying in front of you?

Here I am being unmanly again.

Is there no news from the Grand Palace?

What is His Majesty doing?

I sent someone to find out more. She'll report back shortly.

Your Highness, it is I!

You should come outside quickly!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty.

I came to ask you something.

Your Majesty... Why are you so quiet?

Didn't you want to ask me something?

Your Majesty...

I've spoken to Chief Suh.

He told me all about what he was doing with Dong Yi.

He clarified that he had no clear evidence.

He said he had nothing to prove anything.

But what he told me was so outrageous that I couldn't believe it.

I won't ask you what you heard, Your Majesty.

I already know what you were told.

What is it that you want me to tell you?

I've known you longer than anyone.

Nobody knows you better than me.

And nobody knows me better than you.

That's what I used to believe.

But at the same time, I don't believe that Dong Yi...

... would concoct this plan to frame you without a valid reason.

Then am I someone who can?

In your heart, what kind of person am I?

Ok-Jung...

Then say it, Your Majesty. Ask me what you want to know.

You want to ask me if I did it, don't you?

No... No, Your Majesty. I have never lied to you.

That is the truth.

In a short time, I will be crowned Queen.

But if you don't trust me...

... put a stop to everything.

If you don't trust me,

It is not your fault but mine.

I will not blame you.

This is going to drive me insane!

The coronation will be upon us shortly, but what if everything is ruined?

No, that won't happen.

Her Highness has worked too hard for this.

She was born to become Queen.

And soon she will be.

Tell the Chief Secretary to come immediately.

Yes, My Lord.

I understand, My Lord.

I'm sorry for giving you this message, Chief Suh.

Are you sure? His Majesty has dismissed Chief Suh from his position?

Yes, I just came back from the Right Police Bureau after confirming this.

Uncle!

His Majesty has decided to stand with us and Consort Hui!

Everything has gone according to plan! Congratulations, Your Excellency!

Congratulations, sir!

So Consort Hui really is going to become Queen?

That's right, Mother! Father, does this mean we'll get important positions?

Of course! We've worked so hard!

Do you think he'll let us rot at the Bureau of Music?

I'm so happy just at the thought of it! The musical instruments drove me crazy!

Me too! Let's go. Dear, we're off to work.

Yes, My Lord.

Yoon is really going to rule it over us!

I shouldn't be standing around.

Her house will be full of people trying to gain favor.

I should visit her again. Oh, why am I so unlucky?

- Sir..! - Sir!

- You came... - Sir, are you really going to leave?

Are you really going to leave the Police Bureau?

It is a royal decree. I must obey.

But this doesn't make any sense! How can His Majesty dismiss you?

The unfairness of it all!

Sir, I'll leave with you.

Me too. I'm coming with you!

No, don't do that.

You have to stay here.

- Sir... - Sir!

I'll be back.

I'm leaving now so that I can come back.

I won't come back empty-handed.

I'll find Dong Yi as well as the evidence to charge them formally.

Until that time, you must persevere here even though it may be difficult.

We cannot allow them to get control of the Right Police Bureau either.

- Sir... - Yes, sir.

Have a good day, sir.

Let's go. I need to see Her Highness.

- Yes, sir! - But before that, you have to see me!

Tell them to sheath their swords. You know they are no match for me.

Sheath your swords.

Sheath your swords and move aside!

I don't think you're here for my life.

If you did, you would have come at night.

You're right. I'm not here to kill you.

I won't let you die so quickly and painlessly.

What?

Dong Yi isn't dead.

Why do you look so surprised? You haven't found her body either.

Am I wrong?

What are you talking about?

I know her better than anyone.

She wouldn't die or give up so easily.

So just you wait, Chief Jang. Wait for the day I return with my sister.

Your Majesty, it is I.

What is it?

I'm not sure whether to give this to you, Your Majesty.

What is that?

These are the shoes you ordered during the hunt, Your Majesty.

You wanted to give them to Lady Investigator Chun.

What should I do, Your Majesty? Shall I return them?

No, just leave them here.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Dong Yi... Where are you?

Where are you?

Please be alive.

I don't care about anything else.

Just stay alive.

Under the laws of the royal throne,

Jang of the Indong Jang clan shall be coronated Queen!

It is declared to the Heavens and the earth,

Under the blessings of the royal ancestors and Heaven,

All the creatures of the world shall be enlightened...

... and a peaceful reign established.

All vassals and citizens shall merit the virtue of their Queen!

Your Majesty the Queen! A thousand blessings for a thousand years of reign!

A thousand blessings for a thousand years of reign!

A thousand blessings for a thousand years of reign!
