10
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:51,338
...you're saying will resurrect the dead?
11
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:52,255
[Cho Hak-ju] Correct.
12
00:02:52,964 --> 00:02:54,383
Immune to the sword,
13
00:02:55,258 --> 00:02:57,386
they transform into monsters
14
00:02:57,844 --> 00:02:59,638
that hunger for human flesh.
15
00:03:00,222 --> 00:03:02,516
Absurd. You can't bring the dead
back to life.
16
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:03,809
[Cho Hak-ju] It is the truth.
17
00:03:05,143 --> 00:03:06,144
And if it is?
18
00:03:07,104 --> 00:03:09,231
For what reason
would you show this plant to me?
19
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:12,442
Are you suggesting
we resurrect our fallen soldiers
20
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:14,820
so they can continue fighting
the Japanese?
21
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:16,113
[Cho Hak-ju] I am not.
22
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:18,698
If the corpses started to rot,
23
00:03:19,074 --> 00:03:20,617
resurrection isn't possible.
24
00:03:21,326 --> 00:03:25,580
What's more, we cannot simply kill
our soldiers who sacrifice.
25
00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:28,458
Squandering our military is not an option.
26
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:33,296
[sighs]
27
00:03:34,673 --> 00:03:37,717
You still have not answered my question.
What are you trying to say?
28
00:03:38,927 --> 00:03:40,846
The sick people of Sumang...
29
00:03:43,598 --> 00:03:45,058
we'll use them.
30
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:49,312
Turn them into monsters
31
00:03:50,272 --> 00:03:52,691
and unleash them upon the Japanese army.
32
00:03:54,276 --> 00:03:55,944
That is how we survive.
33
00:03:59,406 --> 00:04:01,658
These are not animals on a farm,
these are people--
34
00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:03,535
And what purpose do they serve?
35
00:04:04,369 --> 00:04:05,787
They would be dead in due time.
36
00:04:06,788 --> 00:04:09,583
Our blood is the currency used
for this war.
37
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:13,128
It is our sworn duty to guard the land
and our people.
38
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:14,921
So then,
39
00:04:16,715 --> 00:04:18,592
you would break that oath
40
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:20,927
and kill those you once protected.
41
00:04:23,597 --> 00:04:25,265
I will not take part in such crime.
42
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:30,645
Resurrecting the dead?
43
00:04:30,729 --> 00:04:32,147
This is nonsense.
44
00:04:33,231 --> 00:04:34,941
Such thing is not possible.
45
00:04:36,401 --> 00:04:37,944
[Cho Hak-ju] Tell me something.
46
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:41,198
Is it the lowly commoner you fight for?
47
00:04:48,330 --> 00:04:49,998
I do not fight for them.
48
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:52,375
I swore to defend
49
00:04:53,043 --> 00:04:56,254
the royal family,
the keystone of this country.
50
00:04:57,172 --> 00:04:58,632
And I will do...
51
00:04:59,549 --> 00:05:01,676
what I must to not fail.

Soon, countless Japanese soldiers
will descend upon us.

Our 500 men will be no match.
59
00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:32,833
So, tell me.
60
00:05:33,291 --> 00:05:37,087
How long do you insist
on putting righteousness first?
61
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:39,840
Lord Ahn.
62
00:05:43,843 --> 00:05:45,095
Sangju...
63
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,098
Think of the many innocent
who are at risk.
64
00:05:49,891 --> 00:05:51,434
These dying souls
65
00:05:52,686 --> 00:05:54,479
are a necessary sacrifice.

00:06:01,695 --> 00:06:03,822
turn a blind eye just this once.

Close the gate facing Sangju.

The gate on the opposite side

Lord Ahn...
110
00:10:07,690 --> 00:10:09,359
Lord Ahn Hyeon passed from his wounds.
111
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:10,860
He was dead. I'm sure of it.
112
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:12,112
He was.
113
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:16,199
As you all witnessed with your own eyes,
114
00:10:16,908 --> 00:10:18,618
Lord Ahn had indeed died.
115
00:10:22,205 --> 00:10:24,541
However, that nurse
brought him back to life.
116
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:27,669
As Cho Hak-ju has.
117
00:10:27,752 --> 00:10:29,796
[Lee Chang] He brought my father back
from the dead.

[clanks]
119
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:33,466
I ask you...
120
00:10:34,968 --> 00:10:36,761
tell us everything you know.
121
00:10:43,810 --> 00:10:47,105
Dr. Lee Seung-hui, the one who taught me,
122
00:10:47,814 --> 00:10:50,608
put his notes on the disease
in the king's patient journal.
123
00:10:57,699 --> 00:10:59,576
This is the resurrection plant.
124
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:02,370
This is what I used
to resurrect the Lord Ahn.
125
00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:06,249
Also, this plant was used
to bring His Majesty back to life.
126
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:14,716
[Lee Chang]
Patient journal, the one she speaks of.
127
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:17,719
My father,
128
00:11:18,344 --> 00:11:20,013
he tried to tell the truth.
129
00:11:21,556 --> 00:11:23,099
The Haewon Cho Clan...
130
00:11:25,143 --> 00:11:27,228
and their leader, Cho Hak-ju,
131
00:11:27,312 --> 00:11:29,022
are accusing me of treason.
132
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:32,191
They claim I'm after the throne.
These are lies!
133
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,279
I have only one true desire.
134
00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:40,116
To see the Haewon Cho Clan punished
135
00:11:41,159 --> 00:11:42,785
for destroying our nation.
136
00:11:48,499 --> 00:11:50,793
The Haewon Cho Clan
is guilty of mortal sin.
137
00:11:50,877 --> 00:11:53,004
You know that to protect their power,
138
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:57,050
they defiled His Majesty's corpse
without even remorse.
139
00:11:57,675 --> 00:12:00,428
They oppressed the people
still devastated by war.
140
00:12:01,304 --> 00:12:02,931
They are behind of this famine.
141
00:12:04,182 --> 00:12:06,059
They deliberately starved the people.
142
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:07,977
And now this plague.
143
00:12:08,478 --> 00:12:11,564
The Haewon Cho Clan's greed
is at the root of everything.
144
00:12:12,357 --> 00:12:14,692
Open your eyes and ears now!
145
00:12:17,445 --> 00:12:19,197
People of this land are sufffering.
146
00:12:20,198 --> 00:12:21,991
Now is the time to rise up.
147
00:12:24,702 --> 00:12:26,037
Face reality...
148
00:12:28,539 --> 00:12:30,500
and do right by this country.
149
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,514
Will you join this cause?

[Lee Chang] The people inside the citadel
156
00:13:21,134 --> 00:13:22,969
cannot hold out that much longer.
157
00:13:25,263 --> 00:13:27,181
We have to bring food as soon as we can.
158
00:13:27,265 --> 00:13:29,642
I agree,
but even with our most skilled soldiers,
159
00:13:29,726 --> 00:13:31,394
we cannot fight our way through that many.
160
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,271
[Lee Gang-yun] They greatly outnumber us.
161
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:38,526
We escape through this canal.
162
00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:41,612
Using what we could,
send wagons of food back.
163
00:13:42,113 --> 00:13:43,489
I think that's our only chance.
164
00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:46,034
That area is one we know very well.
165
00:13:46,117 --> 00:13:47,368
Let us take the food.
166
00:13:48,619 --> 00:13:50,538
Our families are still in the citadel.
167
00:13:50,621 --> 00:13:51,873
Allow us to do it, please.
168
00:13:51,956 --> 00:13:53,541
They'll attack from all sides.
169
00:13:54,208 --> 00:13:55,293
Still think you can do it?
170
00:13:58,546 --> 00:14:00,131
If we take this route
171
00:14:00,923 --> 00:14:02,216
to the canal,
172
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,218
and provide cover along the way...

JUSEOMYEON, JUNAMMYEON
174
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:09,640
it could increase our odds.
175
00:14:09,724 --> 00:14:11,434
We could cover you
after you cross the river,
176
00:14:11,517 --> 00:14:14,312
but in the mountains,
you won't be visible to us anymore.
177
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,274
How can we provide cover fire
if we can't see where you are?

[tense music]
179
00:14:31,662 --> 00:14:32,538

00:15:04,737 --> 00:15:05,822
[explosion]
187
00:15:10,618 --> 00:15:11,702
[snarling]
188
00:15:22,088 --> 00:15:23,589
[explosion]
189
00:15:24,215 --> 00:15:25,466
Look! Over there!
190
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,969
They are launching cannon fire
near the canal.
191
00:15:31,139 --> 00:15:33,099
[men grunting]
192
00:15:38,688 --> 00:15:40,189
Come on, everyone. Be quick.
193
00:15:40,273 --> 00:15:41,399
Come on. Hurry!
194
00:15:41,691 --> 00:15:43,568
[servant 1] Oh, they stopped fighting.
195
00:15:43,651 --> 00:15:44,902
[servant 2] Move quickly!
196
00:15:44,986 --> 00:15:45,903
[servant 3] Let's go!
197
00:15:51,117 --> 00:15:52,535
[servant 2 grunts]
198
00:15:53,661 --> 00:15:54,662
[sighs]
199
00:15:54,745 --> 00:15:56,706
I don't understand. What is going on here?
200
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:59,959
It's His Highness, the Prince.
He's taking Lord Cho Hak-ju down,
201
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:01,586
and he's in control of Mungyeong Saejae.
202
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:02,879
Oh, that's great news.
203
00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:07,425
His Highness regrets
that he could not be here.
204
00:16:07,592 --> 00:16:09,552
He must resolve a matter in Hanyang.
205
00:16:09,677 --> 00:16:11,554
However, I come bearing a message.
206
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:13,723
It is not possible to get everyone...
207
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:16,309
out of the citadel safely
as we are still outnumbered.
208
00:16:16,392 --> 00:16:21,022
So, we will continue to bring you food
using this method from time to time.
209
00:16:21,147 --> 00:16:23,691
So please stay here
and hold out as long as you can.
210
00:16:24,066 --> 00:16:25,359
[indistinct chatter]
211
00:16:25,693 --> 00:16:27,361
[children giggling]
212
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:30,364
[servant]
Come on, give me a hand with this.
213
00:16:31,407 --> 00:16:34,160
THE BASE CAMP IN MUNGYEONG SAEJAE
214
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,045
How is he doing?
215
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,089
His body temperature keeps dropping.
216
00:16:49,217 --> 00:16:50,259
Hmm.
217
00:16:50,968 --> 00:16:54,055
But you are sure that my uncle
will not turn into one of those monsters?
218
00:16:54,388 --> 00:16:56,807
I'm reasonably certain
that he will not turn.
219
00:16:57,058 --> 00:16:59,352
Besides, not everyone
turns into a monster.
220
00:17:00,394 --> 00:17:01,729
Like Dan-i.
221
00:17:01,812 --> 00:17:03,439
He was bitten by the king,
222
00:17:03,523 --> 00:17:05,149
and he never turned into one.
223
00:17:06,776 --> 00:17:10,404
However, he did become bedridden
and died eventually.
224
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,741
The disease has changed.
225
00:17:14,116 --> 00:17:16,911
Dongnae, Jiyulheon happened differently.
226
00:17:17,453 --> 00:17:20,665
It was the ones who ate Dan-i's flesh
that became monsters.
227
00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:24,168
They spread the disease afterwards.
228
00:17:24,252 --> 00:17:25,962
Then, uh...
229
00:17:26,337 --> 00:17:28,464
Then, what will the disease do
to my uncle?
230
00:17:29,799 --> 00:17:31,926
Well, he may not fall prey to it.
231
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:34,679
He'll probably die from the symptoms.
232
00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:36,472
Just as Dan-i had.
233
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:38,182
We have to treat him somehow.
234
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:44,772
Seo-bi, please save his life.
235
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:49,402
I know what he's done to His Majesty
is unforgivable,
236
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:52,196
but we cannot let him die
in such a horrible way.
237
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,322
Dan-i...
238
00:17:54,156 --> 00:17:56,450
there was nothing I could do to help him.
239
00:17:58,744 --> 00:18:00,538
This time, it has to be different.
240
00:18:02,623 --> 00:18:05,668
If I cure him
and find out what causes the symptoms,
241
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:08,796
maybe I will find a way
to bring this plague under control
242
00:18:08,879 --> 00:18:09,755
once and for all.
243
00:18:10,214 --> 00:18:11,340
All right.
244
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,467
Just whatever you do,
please save my uncle's life.
245
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,847
His body temperature has dropped again.
246
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:20,891
We must warm his body.
Look around for any herbs that could help.
247
00:18:20,975 --> 00:18:22,977
Sure. Okay. I can do that.
248
00:18:25,271 --> 00:18:27,398
[panting]
249
00:18:28,024 --> 00:18:29,609
Seo-bi. Seo-bi, wait.
250
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:31,068
Would this work?
251
00:18:31,152 --> 00:18:33,613
This is a rare medicinal wood
that the Queen asked for.
252
00:18:34,905 --> 00:18:36,282
Sappanwood?
253
00:18:36,365 --> 00:18:39,452
It's used to treat
gynecological conditions and ailments.
254
00:18:39,910 --> 00:18:42,455
Lord Cho would not benefit from this,
unfortunately.
255
00:18:42,538 --> 00:18:43,497
[Beom-pal sighs]
256
00:18:47,877 --> 00:18:48,919
[Seo-bi] Wait.
257
00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:51,881
Did you...
258
00:18:52,715 --> 00:18:55,426
say Her Majesty asked for this herb?
259
00:18:57,386 --> 00:19:00,181
This couldn't be
for Her Majesty herself, could it?
260
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:01,807
Of course it's for Her Majesty.
261
00:19:01,891 --> 00:19:03,768
Why else would I have worked so hard
to get it?
262
00:19:06,187 --> 00:19:08,272
You mean the Queen herself used this?
263
00:19:09,899 --> 00:19:11,734
No. That cannot be.
264
00:19:15,863 --> 00:19:18,449
Did the Queen use it recently?
265
00:19:20,117 --> 00:19:21,827
Is that really important right now?
266
00:19:22,203 --> 00:19:23,829
My uncle has one foot in his grave.
267
00:19:23,913 --> 00:19:25,414
Please, you must tell me.
268
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:27,583
[sighs]
269
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:29,835
I had to get this wood last month
and the month before.
270
00:19:32,421 --> 00:19:33,673
What's wrong?
271
00:19:35,257 --> 00:19:36,092
[rustles]
272
00:19:39,929 --> 00:19:41,013
-[door opens]
-[both gasp]
273
00:19:41,555 --> 00:19:43,557
-[horses galloping]
-[soldier] Hyah! Hyah!
274
00:19:44,642 --> 00:19:45,685
Hyah!
275
00:19:49,063 --> 00:19:50,022
[officer] Your Highness.
276
00:19:51,357 --> 00:19:52,525
We have a problem.
277
00:19:57,238 --> 00:19:58,406
[Lee Gang-yun] What happened?
278
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:00,616
Where are the soldiers who were on guard?
279
00:20:00,908 --> 00:20:03,786
[officer] They were killed.
We found their bodies behind the building.
280
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:04,995
Who did this?
281
00:20:06,288 --> 00:20:07,581
Tell me right now!
282
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:11,293
[officer] I was informed
that Your Highness' personal guard
283
00:20:11,377 --> 00:20:13,045
passed the three gates with a carriage.
284
00:20:13,129 --> 00:20:15,715
He said he was carrying out an order
by His Highness.
285
00:20:17,550 --> 00:20:19,593
[tense music]
286
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:27,768
[panting]
287
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:36,610
Hyah!
288
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:43,868
[Mu-yeong's wife] What is this place?
289
00:20:45,786 --> 00:20:49,540
His Majesty collapsed just a few days ago
due to smallpox.
290
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,460
The palace is in total chaos right now.
291
00:20:53,502 --> 00:20:56,422
Unfortunately, I must work.
I cannot stay at your side.
292
00:20:56,756 --> 00:21:00,509
And I worry about leaving you alone
since you're so close to giving birth.
293
00:21:01,010 --> 00:21:03,637
This residence belongs
to an acquaintance of mine.
294
00:21:04,221 --> 00:21:06,474
In just a few days, I will return for you.
295
00:21:06,766 --> 00:21:08,225
If I am to wait here,
296
00:21:08,893 --> 00:21:10,895
then who will take care of you
when you come home?
297
00:21:10,978 --> 00:21:14,064
Even if it's only for a few hours,
who will cook your meals?
298
00:21:14,356 --> 00:21:15,483
Please.
299
00:21:15,775 --> 00:21:18,194
I want to stay with you where I belong.
300
00:21:24,158 --> 00:21:27,578
I will never understand what I did
to deserve such a loving wife.
301
00:21:27,995 --> 00:21:31,999
Especially when you suffer
with a husband as foolish as I am.
302
00:21:34,585 --> 00:21:35,628
[sighs]
303
00:21:36,754 --> 00:21:37,797
I'm sorry.
304
00:21:39,381 --> 00:21:40,716
You know I truly am.
305
00:21:44,428 --> 00:21:45,971
I'll wait for you, then.
306
00:21:47,431 --> 00:21:49,433
And there is no need to worry about me.
307
00:21:52,478 --> 00:21:54,063
It will only be a few days.
308
00:21:54,897 --> 00:21:56,732
So, please look after yourself
309
00:21:56,816 --> 00:21:58,275
and wait for my return.
310
00:22:00,277 --> 00:22:02,947
[sighs deeply]
311
00:22:13,624 --> 00:22:15,042
Take her to the room.
312
00:22:15,876 --> 00:22:17,294
This way, please.
313
00:22:18,754 --> 00:22:21,048
[gloomy music]
314
00:22:38,816 --> 00:22:40,693
[Beom-il] You made a wise decision.
315
00:22:41,777 --> 00:22:44,446
I'm truly glad
you brought her here yourself.
316
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:47,658
Now you know your wife is in good hands.
317
00:22:48,617 --> 00:22:50,619
And we are getting what we want.
318
00:22:54,331 --> 00:22:55,249
If anything...
319
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:58,752
untoward happens to my wife
while she's here,
320
00:23:01,005 --> 00:23:02,298
I will not...
321
00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:06,302
ever not stand idly by.
322
00:23:07,553 --> 00:23:08,637
[thwacks]
323
00:23:11,473 --> 00:23:14,226
Know your place.
You have no right to threaten.
324
00:23:17,646 --> 00:23:20,774
Shall I grab your wife by her hair
and drag her here?
325
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:24,361
And end her life before your eyes?
326
00:23:26,947 --> 00:23:29,325
I understand the Crown Prince
is very fond of you,
327
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:33,579
but the Haewon Cho Clan
will not be threatened by a mere guard.
328
00:23:35,205 --> 00:23:37,374
I need to know
where the Crown Prince goes,
329
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:39,668
and with who he meets.
330
00:23:40,169 --> 00:23:41,420
Understand?
331
00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:43,505
That's the only...
332
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:47,926
way your family's safety will be ensured.
333
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:51,513
[sighs]
334
00:23:54,141 --> 00:23:56,226
[gloomy music]
335
00:24:17,873 --> 00:24:18,916
[sighs]
336
00:24:23,045 --> 00:24:24,171
Hyah!
337
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:27,841
Hyah!
338
00:24:33,847 --> 00:24:34,765
[Mu-yeong] Hyah!
339
00:24:37,434 --> 00:24:39,770
It has already been four hours
since they left.
340
00:24:39,853 --> 00:24:42,439
If you know they are burdened,
they must be very far by now.
341
00:24:42,523 --> 00:24:44,149
If Cho Hak-ju reaches Hanyang first,
342
00:24:44,233 --> 00:24:46,276
he will return with the might
of the Five Armies.
343
00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:48,278
The people are still scarred
by the last war.
344
00:24:48,362 --> 00:24:49,905
We cannot let our country implode again.
345
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:51,365
But how will you catch him?
346
00:24:51,448 --> 00:24:53,826
There are many routes
he could have taken to get to Hanyang.
347
00:24:54,910 --> 00:24:56,203
I am a tiger hunter.
348
00:24:56,578 --> 00:24:58,539
No one is better at chasing targets.
349
00:24:58,622 --> 00:24:59,540
Allow me to join you.
350
00:25:01,625 --> 00:25:02,835
[Lee Chang] Hyah!
351
00:25:02,918 --> 00:25:04,586
-Hyah!
-[Yeong-sin] Hyah!
352
00:25:04,670 --> 00:25:05,754
[Lee Chang] Hyah!
353
00:25:07,131 --> 00:25:09,299
Hyah! Hyah!
354
00:25:10,426 --> 00:25:12,428
[tense music]
355
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:19,643
Is anyone outside?
356
00:25:19,727 --> 00:25:20,728
HANYANG CONFERENCE HALL
357
00:25:20,811 --> 00:25:22,354
Why have we still not received word?
358
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:27,484
Lord, we have not heard any news
from the Queen's Palace yet.
359
00:25:27,568 --> 00:25:30,571
But Her Majesty's labor pains
began hours ago!
360
00:25:30,988 --> 00:25:33,282
What if something has gone wrong?
Have you considered that?
361
00:25:33,365 --> 00:25:36,368
Stop making such a fuss and sit down.
Just have patience.
362
00:25:36,452 --> 00:25:38,036
I cannot tolerate this nuisance.
363
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:43,625
Councillors,
364
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,253
are you not at all curious, though?
365
00:25:46,462 --> 00:25:50,466
His Majesty was falling in and out
of consciousness due to the plague.
366
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:55,763
So why would the Chief State Councillor
take His Majesty to Mungyeong Saejae?
367
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:58,515
That is not important right now.
368
00:25:58,849 --> 00:26:00,184
The only thing that matters,
369
00:26:00,267 --> 00:26:03,103
is whether or not we can restore
the backbone of this kingdom.
370
00:26:04,021 --> 00:26:04,938
[sighs]
371
00:26:07,191 --> 00:26:10,152
[midwife gasping, whimpering]
372
00:26:15,949 --> 00:26:17,159
[groans]
373
00:26:18,744 --> 00:26:20,621
[screams]
374
00:26:21,038 --> 00:26:23,582
[royal officer] Who ordered the killings
of the women and children?
375
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:26,835
[midwife] How dare you!
376
00:26:27,294 --> 00:26:30,380
You dare to suspect Her Majesty?
377
00:26:31,089 --> 00:26:35,093
The moment Her Majesty learns
about this betrayal,
378
00:26:35,761 --> 00:26:36,804
you...
379
00:26:37,513 --> 00:26:40,474
will face her Queen's wrath!
380
00:26:40,724 --> 00:26:42,976
[panting]
381
00:26:43,060 --> 00:26:45,562
Are you keeping a close watch
on the Queen's Palace?
382
00:26:46,063 --> 00:26:47,105
Yes, sir.
383
00:26:47,439 --> 00:26:50,067
We are monitoring everyone
from the court ladies,
384
00:26:50,150 --> 00:26:52,694
to the court maids,
even the water maids are being tracked.
385
00:26:52,778 --> 00:26:54,029
[panting]
Sir.
386
00:26:56,365 --> 00:26:58,575
I was just informed
of something very strange,
387
00:26:58,909 --> 00:27:01,203
from the people
who lent palanquins to Naeseonjae.
388
00:27:01,870 --> 00:27:04,164
It seems that, there were more, actually.
389
00:27:04,248 --> 00:27:06,458
[royal officer]
Six palanquins, not three last night.
390
00:27:09,294 --> 00:27:11,380
[suspenseful music]
391
00:27:17,719 --> 00:27:19,429
[royal guard] What can we do for you?
392
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:22,683
I am here to search
the servants' quarters. It is urgent.
393
00:27:22,766 --> 00:27:25,310
We cannot let anyone
enter these grounds at the moment.
394
00:27:25,853 --> 00:27:28,689
Surely the servants' quarters
cannot be off limits.
395
00:27:29,481 --> 00:27:31,650
We are looking for evidence
of a serious crime.
396
00:27:33,068 --> 00:27:34,319
Step aside.
397
00:27:55,215 --> 00:27:57,092
[Queen's court lady]
What is the meaning of this?
398
00:27:59,136 --> 00:28:01,513
Her Majesty
is in the middle of childbirth.
399
00:28:02,055 --> 00:28:04,474
You dare make a scene?
This will not go unpunished.
400
00:28:04,558 --> 00:28:07,895
The guards in the East Gate informed us
at around 10 p.m. last night,
401
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:11,565
they saw three palanquins
entering the Queen's private residence.
402
00:28:11,648 --> 00:28:13,942
Wet nurses came to breastfeed the baby.
403
00:28:14,276 --> 00:28:15,694
That's not a crime, is it?
404
00:28:15,777 --> 00:28:16,653
Of course not.
405
00:28:16,737 --> 00:28:18,113
The guards also mentioned
406
00:28:18,196 --> 00:28:21,617
these palanquins entered the residence
without being questioned who was inside.
407
00:28:22,868 --> 00:28:25,454
You instructed the guards not to ask,
but I must know.
408
00:28:25,662 --> 00:28:28,123
And I already told you,
it was the wet nurses.
409
00:28:28,206 --> 00:28:29,333
Step aside.
410
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:54,149
[second state] What on earth happened?
411
00:28:54,233 --> 00:28:56,276
We arrested him at the Queen's Palace.
412
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,320
He had entered
the Office of Royal Delivery.
413
00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:00,948
You dare barge into the Queen's Palace,
414
00:29:01,031 --> 00:29:03,200
knowing full well
that Her Majesty is in labor?
415
00:29:03,617 --> 00:29:06,703
[third state] Not even a king can enter
the Office of Royal Delivery.
416
00:29:07,037 --> 00:29:10,123
I understand that you are the head
of the Royal Commandery Division,
417
00:29:10,207 --> 00:29:12,834
but this is a serious offense
that will not go unpunished.
418
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:15,921
They arrested the head
of the Royal Commandery.
419
00:29:16,171 --> 00:29:18,548
The soldiers investigating Naeseonjae
have left.
420
00:29:19,341 --> 00:29:20,592
That matter is done.
421
00:29:20,801 --> 00:29:21,760
[scoffs]
422
00:29:30,185 --> 00:29:32,187
They dare to get in my way?
423
00:29:32,854 --> 00:29:35,524
Those Royal Commandery rats
are as good as dead.
424
00:29:35,941 --> 00:29:37,442
[Queen's court lady] It's as I said.
425
00:29:37,985 --> 00:29:40,153
No one can outsmart Your Majesty.
426
00:29:40,737 --> 00:29:42,906
Now that they have lost their power,
427
00:29:42,990 --> 00:29:44,950
the Royal Commandery is finished as well.
428
00:29:45,284 --> 00:29:46,618
No one stands in your way.
429
00:29:49,913 --> 00:29:50,831
So then,
430
00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:52,958
what of the baby?
431
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:56,712
The remaining pregnant women
have been sent back to Naeseonjae.
432
00:29:57,129 --> 00:29:58,088
I...
433
00:29:58,505 --> 00:30:01,758
believe they can expect
very good news soon.
434
00:30:03,635 --> 00:30:05,595
[creaking]
435
00:30:05,929 --> 00:30:07,723
-[Mu-yeong] Hyah!
-[Seo-bi groans]
436
00:30:10,767 --> 00:30:13,437
Hey, sir!
We have to stop right now, please.
437
00:30:17,274 --> 00:30:18,400
Sir!
438
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:20,736
Please, his condition is worsening.
439
00:30:21,403 --> 00:30:22,321
[Seo-bi] Sir!
440
00:30:23,322 --> 00:30:25,449
-[grunts]
-[horse neighs]
441
00:30:26,908 --> 00:30:28,618
[sighs]
His body is ice-cold.
442
00:30:28,702 --> 00:30:30,579
I could barely feel his pulse.
443
00:30:32,414 --> 00:30:33,790
How much longer will he last?
444
00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:37,127
Well, at this rate, he will die very soon.
445
00:30:37,753 --> 00:30:39,755
[panting]
446
00:30:40,255 --> 00:30:43,008
Please, good sir,
we must find a place to lie him down.
447
00:30:43,091 --> 00:30:44,593
[panting]
448
00:31:04,154 --> 00:31:05,155
[stuttering]
Wait...
449
00:31:05,238 --> 00:31:06,281
Wait, Seo-bi.
450
00:31:08,408 --> 00:31:10,160
[gasping]
451
00:31:11,953 --> 00:31:13,121
[groans]
452
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,124
Uh...
453
00:31:17,626 --> 00:31:19,961
[mumbling]
454
00:31:26,885 --> 00:31:29,429

[door opens]
457
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,362
[suspenseful music]
458
00:32:09,886 --> 00:32:12,013
[horses galloping]
459
00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:15,183
-[horse neighs]
-I'm certain they went that way.
460
00:32:15,809 --> 00:32:17,352
It's the only route to Hanyang.
461
00:32:17,894 --> 00:32:19,813
So we should be able to catch them now.
462
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,815
[panting]
463
00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:27,237
Why did you do nothing?
464
00:32:30,407 --> 00:32:31,950
Your Highness, he betrayed you.
465
00:32:33,243 --> 00:32:34,870
And you knew it just as well.
466
00:32:40,542 --> 00:32:42,502
I wasn't ready to lose anyone else.
467
00:32:45,255 --> 00:32:46,339
That's why...
468
00:32:48,884 --> 00:32:50,260
I wanted to trust him.
469
00:32:51,094 --> 00:32:53,221
[dramatic music]
470
00:33:06,151 --> 00:33:07,194
[Seo-bi] Excuse me, sir.
471
00:33:08,195 --> 00:33:10,697
Do you know when His Highness will arrive?
472
00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:13,325
You said he would follow
behind us shortly.
473
00:33:19,247 --> 00:33:20,540
How is Lord Cho?
474
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:25,086
His condition is stable for now, however,
he does not seem to be doing well.
475
00:33:25,962 --> 00:33:28,673
If it's safe here, we should continue
to wait for His Highness.
476
00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:33,637
No, we have to leave now.
477
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:34,679
Gather His Lord.
478
00:33:35,639 --> 00:33:37,224
Tell me the truth.
479
00:33:38,099 --> 00:33:40,435
Prince Chang did not request
we leave, did he?
480
00:33:43,522 --> 00:33:46,733
And you have no intention of waiting
for His Highness to catch us?
481
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:49,319
I know not why you are acting this way,
482
00:33:51,821 --> 00:33:53,532
but I implore you to reconsider.
483
00:33:54,616 --> 00:33:57,077
I could tell His Highness
is very fond of you,
484
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,620
He relies on you as well.
485
00:33:59,579 --> 00:34:02,999
So, I thought you made it your duty
to keep His Highness safe.
486
00:34:06,753 --> 00:34:08,296
I told you we're leaving.
487
00:34:08,755 --> 00:34:10,215
No. I will not go.
488
00:34:10,549 --> 00:34:12,884
There is something important
I must tell the Prince.
489
00:34:16,555 --> 00:34:19,891
Look, this is sappanwood,
a tree that only grows in Japan.
490
00:34:20,225 --> 00:34:23,478
It's medicinal.
It's very rare and expensive to procure.
491
00:34:24,062 --> 00:34:26,147
-What of it?
-Traditionally...
492
00:34:26,815 --> 00:34:29,568
it is used to remove blood clots
after a miscarriage or birth,
493
00:34:29,651 --> 00:34:33,321
or to alleviate symptoms related
to improper or lack of postpartum care.
494
00:34:33,655 --> 00:34:35,365
This medicine is very strong.
495
00:34:36,032 --> 00:34:38,493
Women who are pregnant
should not be using it at all.
496
00:34:38,577 --> 00:34:40,787
I have no time for this.
What are you trying to say?
497
00:34:40,870 --> 00:34:42,122
The Queen...
498
00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:45,083
I know Her Majesty is using sappanwood.
499
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:47,627
What do you mean "Her Majesty"?
500
00:34:48,295 --> 00:34:50,630
You just said that it cannot be taken
while carrying a child.
501
00:34:50,714 --> 00:34:53,967
Exactly. The Queen cannot be taking this
if she is still pregnant,
502
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:55,844
but the magistrate told me that she is.
503
00:34:56,136 --> 00:34:57,429
Then he must be mistaken.
504
00:34:57,512 --> 00:34:59,723
Sir, I am as confused as you are, however,
505
00:35:00,390 --> 00:35:01,725
if what he said is true,
506
00:35:02,851 --> 00:35:05,353
then we have to tell His Highness
as soon as we can.
507
00:35:05,687 --> 00:35:09,190
And if Her Majesty is truly taking this,
we must find out why that is.
508
00:35:14,904 --> 00:35:16,281
-[woman 1] Wait.
-[woman 2] Eh?
509
00:35:16,364 --> 00:35:18,491
-[woman 1] Are you sure you're done?
-[woman 2] Uh-huh.

[suspenseful music]
512
00:35:50,357 --> 00:35:51,358
Did you say...
513
00:35:52,984 --> 00:35:55,445
it's taken after birth or a miscarriage?
514
00:35:56,112 --> 00:35:57,322
Normally, yes.
515
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:01,159

My Lord, are you all right?
518
00:36:14,464 --> 00:36:16,049
Where are we?
519
00:36:17,467 --> 00:36:18,718
I want answers.
520
00:36:19,219 --> 00:36:20,303
What is this?
521
00:36:20,970 --> 00:36:22,389
What is it used for?
522
00:36:24,224 --> 00:36:25,809
I'm not sure.
523
00:36:25,892 --> 00:36:28,728
Naeseonjae boarded several women
late in pregnancy.
524
00:36:29,979 --> 00:36:31,314
Why were they gathered there?
525
00:36:33,775 --> 00:36:36,528
What are you scheming
with those women at Naeseonjae?
526
00:36:38,613 --> 00:36:40,073
You will tell me right now.
