1
00:00:15,224 --> 00:00:16,851
BASED ON THE KINGDOM OF THE GODS BY YLAB

2
00:02:54,634 --> 00:02:56,344
You must never...

3
00:02:57,178 --> 00:02:58,930
look inside His Majesty's bedchamber.

4
00:02:59,555 --> 00:03:00,640
Do you understand?

5
00:03:02,225 --> 00:03:03,726
Yes, my lord.

6
00:05:53,145 --> 00:05:57,024
THE KING IS DEAD. A NEW WIND WILL BLOW.

7
00:06:05,157 --> 00:06:06,992
-We deserve to die!
-We deserve to die!

8
00:06:07,493 --> 00:06:10,037
Over 100 of the same notice were posted

9
00:06:10,121 --> 00:06:11,872
all over Hanyang last night.

10
00:06:12,623 --> 00:06:14,708
His Majesty, who is very much alive,

11
00:06:15,084 --> 00:06:16,460
has perished?

12
00:06:24,552 --> 00:06:26,095
Capture everyone who posted these,

13
00:06:26,178 --> 00:06:27,471
wrote these,

14
00:06:27,555 --> 00:06:29,014
or gave instructions to write these.

15
00:06:29,098 --> 00:06:31,225
Bring in every single one of them.

16
00:06:31,725 --> 00:06:33,436
I shall annihilate their entire families.

17
00:06:38,774 --> 00:06:40,067
The same goes for...

18
00:06:41,318 --> 00:06:44,447
those who did nothing
while these notices went up

19
00:06:46,031 --> 00:06:46,949
throughout the capital.

20
00:06:47,032 --> 00:06:49,285
My lord, please spare my life.

21
00:06:49,368 --> 00:06:51,203
My lord, please!

22
00:06:51,287 --> 00:06:53,038
Forgive me, my lord.

23
00:06:53,747 --> 00:06:54,748
-Please, my lord!
-My lord!

24
00:06:54,832 --> 00:06:56,292
Please spare my life!

25
00:07:04,175 --> 00:07:07,303
The Haewon Cho Clan
is rounding up young scholars.

26
00:07:11,056 --> 00:07:12,975
Goodness. Oh, my! What are you doing?

27
00:07:13,058 --> 00:07:15,311
No! Gyeong-seok!

28
00:07:15,394 --> 00:07:17,229
Gyeong-seok! Goodness!

29
00:07:17,313 --> 00:07:19,315
Gyeong-seok!

30
00:07:25,988 --> 00:07:27,198
Arrest them!

31
00:07:34,371 --> 00:07:37,500
Ten days have passed
since His Majesty fell ill with smallpox.

32
00:07:37,875 --> 00:07:41,545
The only two people who had seen
His Majesty during the past ten days

33
00:07:41,629 --> 00:07:44,548
are Chief State Councilor Cho Hak-ju
and his daughter, the second Queen.

34
00:07:45,049 --> 00:07:47,426
No wonder those terrible rumors

35
00:07:47,510 --> 00:07:49,887
of His Majesty passing away have spread.

36
00:08:07,488 --> 00:08:08,572
Halt!

37
00:08:10,991 --> 00:08:15,996
We received a report that 89 scholars
from institutions near Hanyang

38
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,624
worked together to post
these heinous notices.

39
00:08:18,707 --> 00:08:20,292
Confess!

40
00:08:20,376 --> 00:08:24,713
The first to confess
will have his life spared!

41
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,300
Who are the real traitors of this nation?

42
00:08:28,384 --> 00:08:31,262
Through the spoils system and extortion,

43
00:08:32,513 --> 00:08:37,309
the evil family of the Queen
is busy feeding themselves.

44
00:08:38,352 --> 00:08:39,478
The traitors?

45
00:08:41,730 --> 00:08:43,774
Look to the Haewon Cho Clan!

46
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:46,193
How dare you! Shut your mouth!

47
00:08:46,277 --> 00:08:48,487
Those of the Haewon Cho Clan
are but insects

48
00:08:49,738 --> 00:08:51,865
that are sucking the blood of the people.

49
00:08:52,575 --> 00:08:55,578
How do they differ from swine
that eat feces?

50
00:08:55,661 --> 00:08:58,622
Perhaps it is better
for His Majesty to be dead.

51
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:01,959
He is a feeble king who handed the nation

52
00:09:02,418 --> 00:09:05,921
over to Lord Cho Hak-ju,
the head of those swine!

53
00:09:06,005 --> 00:09:07,172
How dare you!

54
00:09:07,798 --> 00:09:11,093
Did you say it is better
for His Majesty to be dead?

55
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:13,470
Do you admit to treason?

56
00:09:27,276 --> 00:09:29,445
Then to whom are you referring
by "new wind"?

57
00:09:29,987 --> 00:09:33,073
Who is the new king you wish to serve?

58
00:09:34,283 --> 00:09:37,328
Is it the Crown Prince?

59
00:09:38,412 --> 00:09:40,456
TONGMYEONGJEON

60
00:10:11,904 --> 00:10:12,905
Your Royal Highness.

61
00:10:13,739 --> 00:10:15,908
You have been at my chambers for days

62
00:10:15,991 --> 00:10:18,535
even though I am not fit to move.

63
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:21,830
Father has been ill for ten days,

64
00:10:22,748 --> 00:10:24,958
but there is nothing I can do for him.

65
00:10:26,001 --> 00:10:28,504
It devastates me that I cannot fulfill
my duties as his son.

66
00:10:30,798 --> 00:10:33,300
Please permit me to enter
the King's palace

67
00:10:33,801 --> 00:10:35,803
and to stay by Father's side.

68
00:10:35,886 --> 00:10:38,514
Your father is lying ill from smallpox.

69
00:10:38,597 --> 00:10:42,434
If you catch it from him and fall ill
while looking after His Majesty,

70
00:10:42,518 --> 00:10:44,812
who will lead this nation?

71
00:10:44,895 --> 00:10:47,648
As a senior member of the royal family,
I can never permit it,

72
00:10:48,232 --> 00:10:49,608
so please leave.

73
00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:53,946
Then just tell me this.

74
00:10:56,657 --> 00:10:58,200
Is Father...

75
00:10:59,034 --> 00:11:00,452
truly alive?

76
00:11:09,211 --> 00:11:13,716
You may have learned
how to be filial toward your father,

77
00:11:14,341 --> 00:11:16,885
but not toward your mother.

78
00:11:17,219 --> 00:11:20,597
How could you be so disobedient
to me in front of the servants?

79
00:11:20,681 --> 00:11:22,766
Do you hate me that much?

80
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:28,147
Or is that hatred more toward...

81
00:11:30,107 --> 00:11:31,942
your unborn sibling?

82
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,320
Your Majesty, how dare I...

83
00:11:35,404 --> 00:11:36,530
If that is not the case,

84
00:11:38,198 --> 00:11:39,533
please head back.

85
00:11:41,827 --> 00:11:44,246
What are you waiting for?
Escort the Crown Prince.

86
00:12:10,898 --> 00:12:12,941
I must see my father.

87
00:12:13,901 --> 00:12:15,444
I will go to the King's palace.

88
00:12:19,114 --> 00:12:21,033
Your Royal Highness, have you forgotten?

89
00:12:21,116 --> 00:12:25,120
The Queen ordered that Your Royal Highness
be kept out of the King's palace.

90
00:12:25,204 --> 00:12:26,121
Step aside.

91
00:12:27,331 --> 00:12:28,749
I said to step aside!

92
00:12:31,251 --> 00:12:32,461
Please be understanding.

93
00:12:33,045 --> 00:12:34,546
Whom do you serve?

94
00:12:36,381 --> 00:12:38,091
Whom do you consider
the King of this nation?

95
00:12:38,801 --> 00:12:40,844
Is it my father or the Haewon Cho Clan?

96
00:12:41,762 --> 00:12:44,056
Is there anyone in the entire palace

97
00:12:44,723 --> 00:12:47,935
who does not follow the orders
of the Haewon Cho Clan?

98
00:12:48,393 --> 00:12:49,686
Your Royal Highness.

99
00:12:50,312 --> 00:12:52,523
-Please be understanding!
-Please be understanding!

100
00:12:57,820 --> 00:12:59,196
Call Mu-yeong.

101
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:25,973
Your Royal Highness.

102
00:13:42,531 --> 00:13:45,909
Why would you throw something
worth more than my year's salary?

103
00:13:48,620 --> 00:13:50,747
If a tantrum is what you wanted to throw,

104
00:13:51,707 --> 00:13:53,959
you should have aimed it at the Queen.

105
00:13:54,042 --> 00:13:56,461
The greatest virtue a crown prince
must pursue is filial piety.

106
00:13:57,004 --> 00:13:59,673
I cannot ignore the virtue
and risk being deposed.

107
00:14:00,048 --> 00:14:02,467
The wench may be barely of age,

108
00:14:03,135 --> 00:14:04,845
but she is my mother nonetheless.

109
00:14:04,928 --> 00:14:05,971
I see.

110
00:14:06,722 --> 00:14:08,724
Your Royal Highness
is a truly devoted son.

111
00:14:08,807 --> 00:14:10,475
I have a job for you.

112
00:14:16,106 --> 00:14:16,982
Is it...

113
00:14:18,650 --> 00:14:22,237
Is it to go to the King's palace
and see His Majesty?

114
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,157
Bring me the journal
kept at the Royal Infirmary.

115
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,785
The palace guards keep an eye
on the journal day and night.

116
00:14:28,994 --> 00:14:30,746
How can I possibly obtain it?

117
00:14:30,829 --> 00:14:34,166
The pears from Naju,
the pomegranates from Gochang,

118
00:14:34,249 --> 00:14:37,127
and the ginger sweets
prepared with care by the Royal Kitchen...

119
00:14:39,171 --> 00:14:41,632
Did you forget all that you stole from me?

120
00:14:41,715 --> 00:14:42,966
Your Royal Highness.

121
00:14:43,050 --> 00:14:44,635
Think of your wife, who supported you

122
00:14:44,718 --> 00:14:46,470
until you finally passed
the state examination

123
00:14:46,553 --> 00:14:47,846
at the age of 40.

124
00:14:49,473 --> 00:14:53,060
You stole from my dessert table
in order to bring them to your kind wife

125
00:14:53,644 --> 00:14:55,062
who finally got pregnant

126
00:14:55,145 --> 00:14:57,022
after ten years of marriage, did you not?

127
00:14:57,105 --> 00:14:59,232
Your Royal Highness,
you know of my situation.

128
00:15:00,192 --> 00:15:02,527
How long are you planning to use that
against me?

129
00:15:04,404 --> 00:15:06,657
If they find out
that you stole from my dessert table,

130
00:15:08,075 --> 00:15:09,159
you will be fired.

131
00:15:09,242 --> 00:15:12,162
I will be so if I get caught
stealing the journal.

132
00:15:12,245 --> 00:15:13,622
I see.

133
00:15:15,123 --> 00:15:17,876
I hear tonight's dessert table
will have beef pancakes.

134
00:15:20,295 --> 00:15:23,215
I guess I cannot force you.

135
00:15:30,514 --> 00:15:33,892
If I try to sneak in before sunrise
when the guards change shifts,

136
00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:37,062
I may be able to get the journal.

137
00:15:42,693 --> 00:15:46,113
The guards will not be
as frosty before sunrise.

138
00:15:46,446 --> 00:15:49,533
I may be able to get it
if I sneak in during the shift change.

139
00:17:24,127 --> 00:17:25,629
His Majesty went missing?

140
00:17:25,879 --> 00:17:27,214
Forgive me.

141
00:17:27,297 --> 00:17:29,049
I only stepped away for a moment--

142
00:17:29,174 --> 00:17:31,051
If you wish to live, you must find him.

143
00:17:31,551 --> 00:17:32,385
Now!

144
00:17:37,432 --> 00:17:39,101
Father is...

145
00:17:39,893 --> 00:17:40,977
missing?

146
00:20:03,787 --> 00:20:05,705
What are you doing here,
Your Royal Highness?

147
00:20:08,458 --> 00:20:09,417
There was...

148
00:20:10,418 --> 00:20:11,795
something monstrous in the hallway.

149
00:20:12,379 --> 00:20:13,463
Something monstrous?

150
00:20:14,047 --> 00:20:15,382
It sounded like a beast.

151
00:20:16,716 --> 00:20:19,052
It smelled of blood and had a foul stench.

152
00:20:19,928 --> 00:20:22,889
It was not human.
It had the shape of a monster.

153
00:20:23,598 --> 00:20:24,975
That cannot be true.

154
00:20:25,684 --> 00:20:27,352
A monster in the King's palace?

155
00:20:28,144 --> 00:20:29,562
Your Royal Highness must be wrong.

156
00:20:29,646 --> 00:20:31,314
You do not believe me?

157
00:20:31,398 --> 00:20:35,151
Your Royal Highness must be weak
from having knelt in contrition for days.

158
00:20:35,735 --> 00:20:37,529
Please return to your chambers

159
00:20:37,612 --> 00:20:41,241
and have a physician check up on you.

160
00:20:42,450 --> 00:20:44,661
Have His Royal Highness's attendants
escort him.

161
00:20:59,217 --> 00:21:00,552
Did you find my father?

162
00:21:01,136 --> 00:21:03,013
What do you mean?

163
00:21:06,516 --> 00:21:07,559
His Majesty...

164
00:21:08,893 --> 00:21:10,937
is lying in his bed at this very moment.

165
00:21:11,521 --> 00:21:13,064
He is lying in his bed?

166
00:21:15,525 --> 00:21:18,403
I shall simply check for myself then.

167
00:21:22,615 --> 00:21:25,201
Your Royal Highness, please stop.

168
00:21:25,285 --> 00:21:27,120
Father, it is Chang.

169
00:21:27,412 --> 00:21:28,788
Please stop, Your Royal Highness.

170
00:21:28,872 --> 00:21:30,165
-Open the door.
-No!

171
00:21:30,248 --> 00:21:31,624
Open it at once!

172
00:21:37,422 --> 00:21:39,382
You dare draw

173
00:21:40,467 --> 00:21:42,052
your sword at me?

174
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:44,637
It is the Queen's orders.

175
00:21:45,096 --> 00:21:47,015
I am only maintaining the laws
of the palace.

176
00:21:47,098 --> 00:21:49,142
Can a mere commander of the Royal Army

177
00:21:50,143 --> 00:21:52,187
shed the blood of the royal family?

178
00:21:55,565 --> 00:21:56,900
If you can,

179
00:21:59,402 --> 00:22:00,487
strike me.

180
00:22:13,917 --> 00:22:15,752
Where is my father?

181
00:22:17,420 --> 00:22:18,296
Why?

182
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,716
Are you concerned
about your father's safety?

183
00:22:22,133 --> 00:22:23,343
I saw...

184
00:22:24,969 --> 00:22:27,472
a hideous monster
inside the King's palace.

185
00:22:28,723 --> 00:22:30,266
I saw one as well.

186
00:22:38,358 --> 00:22:41,653
A son pretending
to be concerned about his father

187
00:22:42,112 --> 00:22:45,949
when he secretly wishes
for his father to die

188
00:22:46,825 --> 00:22:49,327
so that he can secure safety
and power for himself.

189
00:22:49,994 --> 00:22:52,414
That is the monster I saw.

190
00:22:53,415 --> 00:22:54,666
Not only that,

191
00:22:54,749 --> 00:22:56,626
but I saw monsters

192
00:22:57,252 --> 00:22:58,753
full of evil thoughts

193
00:22:59,587 --> 00:23:02,924
who intend to use that son
to slay His Majesty

194
00:23:03,007 --> 00:23:04,676
and take over this nation.

195
00:23:04,801 --> 00:23:06,678
Those monsters' blood
is filling the courtyard

196
00:23:06,761 --> 00:23:08,972
of the Royal Investigation Bureau.

197
00:23:09,264 --> 00:23:12,851
Once that blood overflows,
the leader of the conspiracy,

198
00:23:14,894 --> 00:23:19,107
the new king they wish to place
on the throne, will be identified.

199
00:23:20,358 --> 00:23:21,484
When the time comes,

200
00:23:22,777 --> 00:23:25,155
even a mere commander of the Royal Army

201
00:23:25,864 --> 00:23:28,450
may shed the blood of the royal family.

202
00:23:31,035 --> 00:23:35,081
Your Royal Highness may continue to wait,
but His Majesty will not return.

203
00:23:35,165 --> 00:23:39,127
His illness subsided,
so he went to the Queen's palace.

204
00:23:41,713 --> 00:23:42,755
Beom-il,

205
00:23:44,257 --> 00:23:45,967
escort His Royal Highness out.

206
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:48,011
Yes, Father.

207
00:24:18,458 --> 00:24:21,461
His Royal Highness
must have been startled.

208
00:24:21,544 --> 00:24:23,671
Bring him some medicine
to calm his nerves.

209
00:24:39,854 --> 00:24:40,855
Your Royal Highness.

210
00:24:43,149 --> 00:24:44,359
Did you retrieve it?

211
00:24:45,068 --> 00:24:45,902
Yes.

212
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:49,364
I almost got caught,
but I managed to sneak it out.

213
00:24:55,370 --> 00:24:57,747
Father collapsed ten days ago,

214
00:24:58,331 --> 00:24:59,541
at the end of the month.

215
00:25:04,337 --> 00:25:07,215
"Chills, fever,

216
00:25:07,882 --> 00:25:08,925
and a headache.

217
00:25:10,843 --> 00:25:14,222
Administered the decoction for rashes
numerous times, but it was ineffective.

218
00:25:16,599 --> 00:25:19,352
The fever is too high to be varicella.

219
00:25:21,271 --> 00:25:23,147
The symptoms are severe.

220
00:25:25,775 --> 00:25:27,151
There might not be a cure."

221
00:25:29,445 --> 00:25:30,572
Your Royal Highness,

222
00:25:30,655 --> 00:25:32,407
why are there no more entries?

223
00:25:32,490 --> 00:25:33,658
This cannot be.

224
00:25:34,284 --> 00:25:37,579
Those in the Royal Infirmary must write
an entry every day without fail.

225
00:25:39,038 --> 00:25:41,749
Furthermore,
Father was in critical condition.

226
00:25:47,922 --> 00:25:49,674
Unless they had to hide something

227
00:25:51,426 --> 00:25:53,636
and intentionally omitted entries...

228
00:25:56,889 --> 00:25:59,642
What is happening to my father right now

229
00:26:00,685 --> 00:26:02,645
in his own palace?

230
00:26:04,564 --> 00:26:05,565
Your Royal Highness.

231
00:26:08,776 --> 00:26:10,570
Who is Physician Lee Seung-hui?

232
00:26:12,947 --> 00:26:16,075
He was a royal physician,
but he resigned three years ago.

233
00:26:16,951 --> 00:26:18,244
How do you know of him?

234
00:26:19,203 --> 00:26:22,707
His name is written on the last entry
regarding His Majesty.

235
00:26:25,043 --> 00:26:28,212
PHYSICIAN LEE SEUNG-HUI OF JIYULHEON
IN DONGNAE WAS CALLED INTO THE PALACE

236
00:26:32,550 --> 00:26:33,926
I must go out in disguise.

237
00:26:34,469 --> 00:26:36,763
Pardon? In disguise?

238
00:26:37,180 --> 00:26:40,391
You cannot. Who knows
what the Queen will do to you--

239
00:26:40,475 --> 00:26:42,393
She said not to enter the King's palace.

240
00:26:42,810 --> 00:26:44,812
She did not forbid me
from leaving the palace.

241
00:26:45,063 --> 00:26:46,314
Your Royal Highness!

242
00:26:46,731 --> 00:26:47,899
Prepare to leave.

243
00:26:48,650 --> 00:26:51,069
It will be just you and me.

244
00:26:52,528 --> 00:26:53,780
Then what about...

245
00:26:54,989 --> 00:26:56,366
the beef pancakes?

246
00:27:04,332 --> 00:27:08,002
DONGNAE

247
00:27:09,545 --> 00:27:14,592
JIYULHEON

248
00:27:28,064 --> 00:27:31,776
Eat a little more.
You will recover faster that way.

249
00:27:31,859 --> 00:27:33,528
I will have it later.

250
00:27:35,446 --> 00:27:36,906
You call that food?

251
00:27:37,824 --> 00:27:41,244
They will croak from starvation
before the disease kills them.

252
00:27:44,372 --> 00:27:48,084
The government promised
to send us some rice soon,

253
00:27:48,167 --> 00:27:49,794
so wait until then.

254
00:27:49,877 --> 00:27:51,421
Like they would.

255
00:27:52,046 --> 00:27:53,798
Dozens of people die every day

256
00:27:53,881 --> 00:27:56,175
waiting for that rice.

257
00:28:00,638 --> 00:28:01,973
You should rest.

258
00:28:21,325 --> 00:28:22,869
What are you doing?

259
00:28:23,453 --> 00:28:27,206
Those people will become sicker
if they do not eat that,

260
00:28:27,665 --> 00:28:29,041
so watch what you say.

261
00:28:39,260 --> 00:28:40,762
By the way,

262
00:28:40,845 --> 00:28:42,764
when is that Physician Lee coming?

263
00:28:42,847 --> 00:28:45,099
I told you he went to Hanyang.

264
00:28:45,224 --> 00:28:47,226
So, when is he coming back?

265
00:28:47,310 --> 00:28:49,729
I came all the way here
because I heard he was the best.

266
00:28:51,272 --> 00:28:52,523
Your wound will heal quickly

267
00:28:53,733 --> 00:28:56,360
if you shut your trap,

268
00:28:57,111 --> 00:28:58,529
so be on your way.

269
00:29:00,615 --> 00:29:01,657
What did you just...

270
00:29:03,451 --> 00:29:04,744
What the...

271
00:29:08,748 --> 00:29:09,957
What are you looking at?

272
00:29:21,093 --> 00:29:23,805
The medicine is ineffective
since they cannot eat much.

273
00:29:24,388 --> 00:29:25,515
This is bad.

274
00:29:27,058 --> 00:29:29,101
-Physician Lee has returned!
-Hurry!

275
00:29:29,268 --> 00:29:30,520
Physician Lee is back!

276
00:29:35,024 --> 00:29:36,359
There he is!

277
00:30:01,133 --> 00:30:02,426
Welcome back, Master.

278
00:30:06,556 --> 00:30:09,433
What is that, Master?

279
00:30:16,482 --> 00:30:17,775
Prepare for a funeral.

280
00:30:18,901 --> 00:30:19,861
Pardon?

281
00:30:20,319 --> 00:30:22,864
Whose funeral do you mean?

282
00:30:30,830 --> 00:30:31,873
Over here.

283
00:30:34,667 --> 00:30:36,627
Help me with this.

284
00:30:39,422 --> 00:30:40,590
Let's open it.

285
00:30:48,848 --> 00:30:49,974
-My gosh, Dan-i.
-It is Dan-i!

286
00:30:50,057 --> 00:30:51,893
-Oh, my. Dan-i!
-My goodness.

287
00:30:51,976 --> 00:30:53,436
-What happened?
-What happened to him?

288
00:30:55,688 --> 00:30:57,690
-Oh, my.
-Dan-i...

289
00:30:58,232 --> 00:30:59,609
What happened to Dan-i?

290
00:31:00,234 --> 00:31:01,485
How could this happen to him?

291
00:31:04,947 --> 00:31:06,282
Master!

292
00:31:06,532 --> 00:31:10,202
Master, what happened? Please tell me!

293
00:31:10,745 --> 00:31:13,497
What happened in Hanyang

294
00:31:14,248 --> 00:31:17,251
that Dan-i returned
in such a gruesome state?

295
00:31:19,211 --> 00:31:20,880
Please tell me, Master.

296
00:31:27,803 --> 00:31:29,138
Nothing happened.

297
00:31:30,932 --> 00:31:32,058
Nothing.

298
00:31:33,976 --> 00:31:35,311
Nothing happened.

299
00:31:45,905 --> 00:31:47,907
HANYANG

300
00:31:48,032 --> 00:31:49,825
It says they will depose His Majesty,

301
00:31:49,909 --> 00:31:52,703
have the Crown Prince take the throne,

302
00:31:53,412 --> 00:31:56,415
and create a new world.

303
00:31:57,416 --> 00:32:01,003
This is conclusive evidence of treason.

304
00:32:02,171 --> 00:32:05,299
We must bring the Crown Prince
to the Royal Investigation Bureau

305
00:32:05,383 --> 00:32:07,343
and interrogate him right away.

306
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:12,056
Where and how did you find the letter?

307
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,142
Someone reported that one of the scholars

308
00:32:15,226 --> 00:32:18,020
who was arrested had this letter at home.

309
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:20,314
What a useful informant.

310
00:32:20,398 --> 00:32:24,443
He knew every single one
of the 89 scholars who committed treason

311
00:32:24,527 --> 00:32:27,738
and where the secret letter
that no one knew about was kept.

312
00:32:28,656 --> 00:32:30,408
Who is this informant?

313
00:32:30,908 --> 00:32:33,327
Why is that important?

314
00:32:36,330 --> 00:32:40,584
None of the 89 scholars
admitted to the allegation of treason.

315
00:32:40,668 --> 00:32:41,627
Yet,

316
00:32:42,420 --> 00:32:45,673
you are accusing them of treason based on
the statement of that single informant.

317
00:32:46,549 --> 00:32:48,926
This is an insult
to the Confucian scholars,

318
00:32:49,010 --> 00:32:50,219
the foundation of this nation.

319
00:32:53,139 --> 00:32:57,101
Are the Confucian scholars
really the foundation of this nation?

320
00:32:58,811 --> 00:33:00,104
What did those Confucian scholars

321
00:33:01,313 --> 00:33:03,649
ever do for this nation?

322
00:33:03,733 --> 00:33:04,859
What are you saying?

323
00:33:07,445 --> 00:33:09,488
Two disastrous wars

324
00:33:10,698 --> 00:33:12,867
swept through this land.

325
00:33:14,702 --> 00:33:15,995
Do you know...

326
00:33:16,704 --> 00:33:19,582
why we were defeated so helplessly?

327
00:33:21,459 --> 00:33:23,294
It is because weak Confucian scholars,

328
00:33:23,961 --> 00:33:26,380
who only blabbed of the Analects
and Mencius

329
00:33:26,714 --> 00:33:29,341
without taking any action,
led this nation.

330
00:33:30,551 --> 00:33:32,178
The same holds true today.

331
00:33:32,261 --> 00:33:34,930
You are completely out of line,
Chief State Councilor.

332
00:33:37,349 --> 00:33:39,143
What do you think you are doing?

333
00:33:39,226 --> 00:33:40,644
Can you not see?

334
00:33:41,979 --> 00:33:43,606
Should I help you see it better?

335
00:33:45,691 --> 00:33:48,944
Now do you see what it says?

336
00:33:49,028 --> 00:33:51,530
It says they will tear down the King,

337
00:33:51,989 --> 00:33:53,783
disturb the order,

338
00:33:53,866 --> 00:33:57,161
and create chaos,
thus leading this nation to ruin.

339
00:33:57,244 --> 00:33:58,954
After reading such a horrendous letter,

340
00:33:59,038 --> 00:34:02,958
should the members of the Court
sit around and argue about

341
00:34:03,042 --> 00:34:07,421
what should be done while doing nothing
as they did during those wars?

342
00:34:07,963 --> 00:34:09,048
Lord Cho,

343
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:11,258
that is enough.

344
00:34:22,770 --> 00:34:26,565
Arrest the Crown Prince and bring him
to the Royal Investigation Bureau.

345
00:34:37,076 --> 00:34:38,410
Where is the Crown Prince?

346
00:34:38,953 --> 00:34:40,246
We do not know.

347
00:34:45,709 --> 00:34:49,630
Give me the same answer again,
and you will lose your neck.

348
00:34:51,715 --> 00:34:53,300
Where is the Crown Prince?

349
00:34:54,426 --> 00:34:57,555
-I truly do not--
-If I may answer,

350
00:34:57,847 --> 00:35:00,182
we have been searching for him all day,

351
00:35:00,266 --> 00:35:02,768
but he is nowhere
within the Crown Prince's palace.

352
00:35:03,310 --> 00:35:05,146
You saw for yourself, did you not?

353
00:35:08,357 --> 00:35:09,233
Find the Crown Prince!

354
00:35:09,316 --> 00:35:11,318
Search all over the palace and Hanyang

355
00:35:11,402 --> 00:35:13,237
and drag him
to the Royal Investigation Bureau.

356
00:35:14,405 --> 00:35:15,990
The Crown Prince is no longer...

357
00:35:17,116 --> 00:35:18,993
the heir to the throne.

358
00:35:19,410 --> 00:35:21,704
He is a criminal who conspired treason.

359
00:35:48,981 --> 00:35:51,066
Gosh.

360
00:35:56,322 --> 00:35:57,198
Is anyone there?

361
00:36:03,037 --> 00:36:03,954
It is taking a bath.

362
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,251
Is anyone there?

363
00:36:09,335 --> 00:36:10,377
Sure, sure.

364
00:36:11,086 --> 00:36:12,630
Are you Park Jong-yeong,

365
00:36:12,713 --> 00:36:15,591
-an orderly at the Royal Infirmary?
-Yes, I am.

366
00:36:18,302 --> 00:36:22,640
What brings
the Crown Prince's personal guard by?

367
00:36:22,723 --> 00:36:25,184
I am looking for Physician Lee Seung-hui
from Dongnae.

368
00:36:25,517 --> 00:36:26,852
He entered the palace

369
00:36:26,936 --> 00:36:29,063
on the third of the month
when you were on duty.

370
00:36:29,688 --> 00:36:32,233
I do not know his name,

371
00:36:32,316 --> 00:36:35,569
but the physician from Dongnae
has left already.

372
00:36:35,945 --> 00:36:37,821
The lad who came with him
got severely ill,

373
00:36:37,905 --> 00:36:39,448
so they had to return.

374
00:36:41,408 --> 00:36:42,660
Ask what his symptoms were like.

375
00:36:45,246 --> 00:36:47,373
Why was the lad in critical condition?

376
00:36:48,165 --> 00:36:49,250
Did he catch smallpox?

377
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,878
A dullard like me does not know for sure,

378
00:36:53,295 --> 00:36:54,964
but it was not a disease.

379
00:36:55,047 --> 00:36:57,132
He had deep wounds all over his body.

380
00:36:57,967 --> 00:37:02,263
It looked as if he was bitten
by a huge beast.

381
00:37:11,522 --> 00:37:14,316
Your Royal Highness, we must hurry.

382
00:37:14,817 --> 00:37:17,027
We will get caught at this rate.
We must hurry back.

383
00:37:18,028 --> 00:37:21,699
That way is south,
so Dongnae must be in that direction.

384
00:37:23,075 --> 00:37:24,702
I need to know

385
00:37:25,286 --> 00:37:28,080
what happened to my father
and to the royal family

386
00:37:29,164 --> 00:37:30,708
of this nation.

387
00:37:30,791 --> 00:37:32,209
What do you mean?

388
00:37:33,335 --> 00:37:34,461
I must go to Dongnae.

389
00:37:35,045 --> 00:37:36,130
To Dongnae?

390
00:37:37,673 --> 00:37:38,507
Now?

391
00:37:41,927 --> 00:37:45,097
Without eunuchs or court ladies
to serve you?

392
00:37:45,180 --> 00:37:46,849
You and I alone?

393
00:37:47,266 --> 00:37:48,225
We cannot.

394
00:37:48,309 --> 00:37:49,643
I shall go.

395
00:37:49,727 --> 00:37:52,646
Do you know how far it is
from Hanyang to Dongnae?

396
00:37:53,689 --> 00:37:55,065
You almost vomited several times

397
00:37:55,149 --> 00:37:57,109
on the way here from the palace

398
00:37:57,192 --> 00:37:58,736
because of the stench.

399
00:37:58,819 --> 00:38:00,904
How can you make it all the way to Dongnae

400
00:38:01,530 --> 00:38:04,742
on such rough and difficult roads?
It is nearly 350km away.

401
00:38:04,825 --> 00:38:08,537
My life until now has been more difficult
than that.

402
00:38:08,620 --> 00:38:10,122
What about your meals?

403
00:38:10,914 --> 00:38:13,959
You will not even get to see
the delicacies you enjoy in the palace.

404
00:38:14,043 --> 00:38:15,127
I do not care.

405
00:38:15,210 --> 00:38:17,463
We could encounter bandits or rioters.

406
00:38:18,088 --> 00:38:19,340
They might kill us.

407
00:38:20,049 --> 00:38:21,633
I will die anyway...

408
00:38:22,801 --> 00:38:24,053
if I remain here.

409
00:38:24,136 --> 00:38:26,180
Because of the allegation of treason?

410
00:38:26,889 --> 00:38:29,767
Your Royal Highness,
even the Haewon Cho Clan

411
00:38:29,850 --> 00:38:32,936
cannot harm you
for something you did not do.

412
00:38:35,564 --> 00:38:36,648
I did it.

413
00:38:37,691 --> 00:38:38,692
Pardon?

414
00:38:40,569 --> 00:38:41,653
May I beg your pardon?

415
00:38:41,737 --> 00:38:42,654
I...

416
00:38:44,073 --> 00:38:45,574
conspired treason against Father.

417
00:38:47,951 --> 00:38:49,078
Why?

418
00:38:51,205 --> 00:38:52,039
How...

419
00:38:53,540 --> 00:38:57,419
You are the Crown Prince.
The throne would have been yours anyway.

420
00:38:57,503 --> 00:38:58,712
So why?

421
00:38:59,213 --> 00:39:03,092
IT HAS ITS MEANING IN CREATING A NEW WORLD

422
00:39:07,388 --> 00:39:10,891
LEE CHANG

423
00:39:24,696 --> 00:39:26,073
Crown Prince...

424
00:39:27,491 --> 00:39:28,534
That is correct.

425
00:39:29,827 --> 00:39:31,703
I am the Crown Prince of this nation.

426
00:39:33,414 --> 00:39:35,207
I am my father's only son,

427
00:39:35,707 --> 00:39:38,502
but I shall die if the Queen
gives birth to a legitimate son.

428
00:39:39,086 --> 00:39:41,755
I am but an illegitimate Crown Prince
born of a concubine.

429
00:39:43,757 --> 00:39:45,217
That was why.

430
00:39:45,926 --> 00:39:47,344
Because I wanted to live.

431
00:39:52,683 --> 00:39:55,102
-Still--
-I still feel the same way.

432
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,149
Many scholars are dying at the Royal
Investigation Bureau to protect me.

433
00:40:00,232 --> 00:40:02,317
The only way to save them and myself...

434
00:40:03,610 --> 00:40:05,487
is in the south, in Dongnae.

435
00:40:06,780 --> 00:40:09,074
I must go to Dongnae,
meet Physician Lee Seung-hui,

436
00:40:10,159 --> 00:40:12,119
and find out

437
00:40:12,786 --> 00:40:14,246
what happened to my father.

438
00:40:36,268 --> 00:40:38,020
All I said was that he took the lad home

439
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:41,690
because he was in critical condition.

440
00:40:41,773 --> 00:40:45,444
Forgive me, my lord!

441
00:40:45,652 --> 00:40:46,653
I am sure

442
00:40:47,404 --> 00:40:50,073
the Crown Prince went to Dongnae
in search of Physician Lee.

443
00:40:50,157 --> 00:40:52,451
I told you before, did I not?

444
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,496
We should have silenced Lee Seung-hui
by killing him.

445
00:40:57,789 --> 00:40:58,999
Physician Lee...

446
00:41:00,209 --> 00:41:02,336
is still valuable to us.

447
00:41:02,419 --> 00:41:03,378
However,

448
00:41:05,172 --> 00:41:06,715
the Crown Prince is not.

449
00:41:17,100 --> 00:41:20,395
Our messengers will not arrive
ahead of the Crown Prince.

450
00:41:21,396 --> 00:41:24,441
You must go and stop him yourselves.

451
00:41:25,150 --> 00:41:28,237
A cavalry of ten on speedy horses
will head out first,

452
00:41:28,695 --> 00:41:32,282
and 50 competent soldiers
of the Royal Army shall follow.

453
00:41:33,075 --> 00:41:34,409
You must stop him

454
00:41:34,826 --> 00:41:36,453
before he reaches Dongnae

455
00:41:37,037 --> 00:41:38,622
and Jiyulheon.

456
00:41:39,289 --> 00:41:41,500
Even if it means you have to kill him.

457
00:41:42,167 --> 00:41:45,337
HANYANG, DONGNAE

458
00:41:46,046 --> 00:41:50,676
DONGNAE

459
00:42:06,108 --> 00:42:07,359
I cannot stop thinking about...

460
00:42:10,070 --> 00:42:11,113
the strange wounds

461
00:42:12,197 --> 00:42:13,615
on Dan-i's body.

462
00:42:19,371 --> 00:42:20,247
We shall go.

463
00:42:32,134 --> 00:42:33,885
I see smoke from the chimney.

464
00:42:36,888 --> 00:42:37,889
What is going on?

465
00:42:43,770 --> 00:42:45,397
It has been so long since I last had meat.

466
00:42:55,282 --> 00:42:56,533
I feel much better now.

467
00:42:57,159 --> 00:42:59,828
-This is so good!
-Can I have another bowl?

468
00:43:02,998 --> 00:43:04,458
This is so delicious.

469
00:43:04,541 --> 00:43:06,335
-What is that?
-This is unbelievably delicious!

470
00:43:28,649 --> 00:43:29,650
What is all this?

471
00:43:30,484 --> 00:43:32,069
Is it not obvious?

472
00:43:33,445 --> 00:43:35,447
The patients are starving to death,

473
00:43:36,490 --> 00:43:38,950
but the physician is holed up in his room.

474
00:43:40,535 --> 00:43:43,830
I needed food to live, so I hunted a deer.

475
00:43:43,914 --> 00:43:45,123
A deer?

476
00:43:46,291 --> 00:43:48,502
You found a deer in the mountains?

477
00:43:50,212 --> 00:43:52,005
Did you get the government's permission?

478
00:43:52,422 --> 00:43:54,841
Should we get permission to die too?

479
00:43:56,051 --> 00:43:58,428
People here complain even if I bring food.

480
00:44:21,618 --> 00:44:22,744
My lady.

481
00:44:22,828 --> 00:44:26,707
I am sorry to ask,
but could I have some more?

482
00:44:27,082 --> 00:44:30,001
My wife is trying to breastfeed the baby,
but is having trouble...

483
00:44:30,085 --> 00:44:31,837
-Sure.
-Thank you.

484
00:44:54,735 --> 00:44:56,903
It is all right. Do not cry.

485
00:45:51,875 --> 00:45:53,001
What?

486
00:45:54,753 --> 00:45:57,214
How could you do this?

487
00:45:58,006 --> 00:46:00,217
-How could you?
-What are you talking about?

488
00:46:00,759 --> 00:46:01,968
I saw it.

489
00:46:03,512 --> 00:46:04,596
I saw it.

490
00:46:06,765 --> 00:46:08,600
How could you do that to a person?

491
00:46:09,059 --> 00:46:10,352
How could you...

492
00:46:11,019 --> 00:46:13,563
He was like family to us.

493
00:46:13,647 --> 00:46:15,190
Who cares what he was to you?

494
00:46:17,692 --> 00:46:19,986
Once you die, you are nothing
but a slab of meat.

495
00:46:21,738 --> 00:46:23,240
Are you out of your mind?

496
00:46:24,950 --> 00:46:27,744
He was a person, just like us.

497
00:46:28,703 --> 00:46:30,247
How can a person

498
00:46:30,914 --> 00:46:33,792
-eat another person?
-So what?

499
00:46:36,837 --> 00:46:38,588
Should we all just starve to death

500
00:46:40,048 --> 00:46:42,300
arguing about what we ought to do
as human beings?

501
00:46:44,052 --> 00:46:45,095
If everyone lived that way,

502
00:46:45,178 --> 00:46:47,472
half the population of Dongnae
would have starved to death already.

503
00:46:47,889 --> 00:46:49,057
What do you mean?

504
00:46:49,558 --> 00:46:52,227
How do you think the people
in the south survived?

505
00:46:53,895 --> 00:46:55,981
Do you think His Majesty saved them?

506
00:46:56,064 --> 00:46:59,276
No. What saved them...

507
00:47:00,569 --> 00:47:03,488
were the flesh and bones of neighbors
who starved to death.

508
00:47:07,951 --> 00:47:09,160
That cannot be true.

509
00:47:10,245 --> 00:47:12,080
You live as you wish to live.

510
00:47:13,582 --> 00:47:15,917
I will do whatever I need to do
to stay alive.

511
00:47:19,129 --> 00:47:20,088
It is delicious.

512
00:47:24,426 --> 00:47:25,552
Jong-gu!

513
00:47:25,927 --> 00:47:26,928
Are you all right?

514
00:47:27,012 --> 00:47:28,471
What is it? What is wrong?

515
00:47:30,974 --> 00:47:32,225
Jong-gu!

516
00:47:33,602 --> 00:47:34,686
Jong-gu!

517
00:47:35,562 --> 00:47:36,479
Jong-gu!

518
00:47:37,898 --> 00:47:40,442
Jong-gu!

519
00:47:50,410 --> 00:47:52,370
Jong-gu!

520
00:47:58,543 --> 00:47:59,502
Jong-gu.

521
00:48:00,253 --> 00:48:01,338
Jong-gu!

522
00:48:38,208 --> 00:48:39,209
Master!

523
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:31,886
Mister.

524
00:49:32,679 --> 00:49:33,680
Mister!

525
00:49:34,931 --> 00:49:36,266
Mister, hold on.

526
00:49:41,354 --> 00:49:42,188
Mister!

527
00:50:39,370 --> 00:50:40,663
Do you have anything more to say?

528
00:56:12,537 --> 00:56:14,539
