[snarls]

6
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:46,332
[Ahn-hyeon] This plant...

7
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:47,292
3 YEARS AGO

8
00:02:49,169 --> 00:02:51,337
...you're saying will resurrect the dead?

9
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:52,255
[Cho Hak-ju] Correct.

10
00:02:52,964 --> 00:02:54,382
Immune to the sword,

11
00:02:55,258 --> 00:02:57,385
they transform into monsters

12
00:02:57,844 --> 00:02:59,637
that hunger for human flesh.

13
00:03:00,221 --> 00:03:02,515
Absurd. You can't bring the dead
back to life.

14
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:03,808
[Cho Hak-ju] It is the truth.

15
00:03:05,143 --> 00:03:06,144
And if it is?

16
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:09,397
For what reason
would you show this plant to me?

17
00:03:09,856 --> 00:03:12,525
Are you suggesting
we resurrect our fallen soldiers

18
00:03:12,609 --> 00:03:14,944
so they can continue fighting
the Japanese?

19
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:16,112
[Cho Hak-ju] I am not.

20
00:03:16,696 --> 00:03:18,698
If the corpses started to rot,

21
00:03:19,073 --> 00:03:20,617
resurrection isn't possible.

22
00:03:21,326 --> 00:03:22,327
What's more,

23
00:03:22,410 --> 00:03:25,580
we cannot simply kill our soldiers
as sacrifice.

24
00:03:26,164 --> 00:03:28,458
Squandering our military is not an option.

25
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:33,296
[sighs wearily]

26
00:03:34,672 --> 00:03:37,717
You still have not answered my question.
What are you trying to say?

27
00:03:38,927 --> 00:03:40,845
The sick people of Sumang...

28
00:03:43,598 --> 00:03:44,682
we'll use them.

29
00:03:47,477 --> 00:03:49,062
Turn them into monsters...

30
00:03:50,271 --> 00:03:52,690
and unleash them upon the Japanese army.

31
00:03:54,275 --> 00:03:55,944
That is how we survive.

32
00:03:59,405 --> 00:04:01,783
These are not animals on a farm,
these are people.

33
00:04:01,866 --> 00:04:03,534
And what purpose do they serve?

34
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:05,787
They will be dead in due time.

35
00:04:06,788 --> 00:04:09,290
Our blood is the currency used
for this war.

36
00:04:10,208 --> 00:04:13,127
It is our sworn duty to guard the land
and our people.

37
00:04:13,878 --> 00:04:14,921
So then,

38
00:04:16,714 --> 00:04:18,591
you would break that oath

39
00:04:19,092 --> 00:04:20,927
and kill those you once protected.

40
00:04:23,596 --> 00:04:25,265
I will not take part in such crime.

41
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:30,645
Resurrecting the dead?

42
00:04:30,728 --> 00:04:32,146
This is nonsense.

43
00:04:32,689 --> 00:04:34,941
Such a thing is not possible.

44
00:04:36,359 --> 00:04:37,944
[Cho Hak-ju] Tell me something.

45
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:41,197
Is it the lowly commoner you fight for?

46
00:04:48,329 --> 00:04:50,081
I do not fight for them.

47
00:04:50,540 --> 00:04:52,125
I swore to defend...

48
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:56,254
the royal family,
the keystone of this country.

49
00:04:57,255 --> 00:04:58,631
And I will do...

50
00:04:59,632 --> 00:05:01,634
what I must to not fail.

51
00:05:13,062 --> 00:05:14,105

52

[snarls]

53
00:05:26,034 --> 00:05:28,953
Soon, countless Japanese soldiers
will descend upon us.

54
00:05:29,037 --> 00:05:31,080
Our 500 men will be no match.

55
00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:32,915
So, tell me.

56
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:37,086
How long do you insist
on putting righteousness first...

57
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:39,839
Lord Ahn?

58
00:05:43,885 --> 00:05:45,094
Sangju...

59
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,097
Think of the many innocent
who are at risk.

60
00:05:49,891 --> 00:05:51,434
These dying souls...

61
00:05:52,685 --> 00:05:54,520
are a necessary sacrifice.

62
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:56,439
[snarling]

63
00:05:56,773 --> 00:05:58,191
We can put an end to it...

64
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:00,610
if the two of us...

65
00:06:01,694 --> 00:06:03,821
turn a blind eye just this once.

66

[sorrowful music]

74
00:07:27,738 --> 00:07:30,366
[Cho Hak-ju]
Soon, the Japanese army will invade.

75
00:07:30,867 --> 00:07:33,035
Close the gate facing Sangju.

76
00:07:33,953 --> 00:07:35,788
The gate on the opposite side

77
00:07:36,414 --> 00:07:37,748
can remain open.

78
00:07:40,877 --> 00:07:43,171
[ominous music]

79
00:08:55,701 --> 00:09:00,122
[Ahn-hyeon]
I will not forget your sacrifices.

80
00:09:00,873 --> 00:09:03,709
I promise you, they will not be in vain.

81
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:05,503

[whimpers]

85
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:56,178
If you want to kill these undead monsters,

86
00:09:56,762 --> 00:09:58,639
focus your attacks on the head.

87
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:00,516
[sighs]

88
00:10:02,810 --> 00:10:04,145
How is this possible?

89
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:05,771
Lord Ahn...

90
00:10:07,690 --> 00:10:09,358
Lord Ahn Hyeon passed from his wounds.

91
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:10,860
He was dead. I'm sure of it.

92
00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:12,111
He was.

93
00:10:13,946 --> 00:10:16,198
As you all witnessed with your own eyes,

94
00:10:16,699 --> 00:10:18,618
Lord Ahn had indeed died.

95
00:10:22,204 --> 00:10:24,540
However, that nurse
brought him back to life.

96
00:10:26,417 --> 00:10:27,710
As Cho Hak-ju has.

97
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:29,795
He brought my father back from the dead.

98
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:33,466
I ask you...

99
00:10:34,967 --> 00:10:36,761
tell us everything you know.

100
00:10:43,809 --> 00:10:47,104
Dr. Lee Seung-hui, the one who taught me,

101
00:10:47,688 --> 00:10:50,608
put his notes on the disease
in the King's patient journal.

102
00:10:57,698 --> 00:10:59,575
This is the resurrection plant.

103
00:11:00,034 --> 00:11:02,370
This is what I used to resurrect Lord Ahn.

104
00:11:02,703 --> 00:11:06,248
Also, this plant was used
to bring His Majesty back to life.

105
00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:15,257
[Lee Chang]
Patient journal, the one she speaks of.

106
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:17,551
My father,

107
00:11:18,344 --> 00:11:20,012
he tried to tell the truth.

108
00:11:21,555 --> 00:11:23,099
The Haewon Cho Clan...

109
00:11:25,142 --> 00:11:26,977
and their leader, Cho Hak-ju,

110
00:11:27,311 --> 00:11:29,021
are accusing me of treason.

111
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:32,191
They claim I'm after the throne.
These are lies!

112
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,278
I have only one true desire:

113
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:40,116
To see the Haewon Cho Clan punished...

114
00:11:41,283 --> 00:11:42,785
for destroying our nation.

115
00:11:48,499 --> 00:11:50,793
The Haewon Cho Clan
is guilty of mortal sin.

116
00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:53,003
You know that to protect their power,

117
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:57,049
they defiled His Majesty's corpse
without even remorse.

118
00:11:57,675 --> 00:12:00,428
They oppress the people
still devastated by war.

119
00:12:01,303 --> 00:12:02,930
They are behind this famine.

120
00:12:04,181 --> 00:12:06,058
They deliberately starved the people.

121
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:07,977
And now this plague.

122
00:12:08,477 --> 00:12:11,564
The Haewon Cho Clan's greed
is at the root of everything.

123
00:12:12,356 --> 00:12:14,692
Open your eyes and ears now!

124
00:12:17,445 --> 00:12:19,196
People of this land are suffering.

125
00:12:20,197 --> 00:12:21,991
Now is the time to rise up.

126
00:12:24,702 --> 00:12:26,036
Face reality...

127
00:12:28,539 --> 00:12:30,499
and do right by this country.

128
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,513
Will you join this cause?

129
00:12:51,437 --> 00:12:52,605
-[distant thudding]
-[all gasp]

130
00:12:52,688 --> 00:12:56,358

[infected screeching]

135
00:13:18,964 --> 00:13:21,175
[Lee Chang] The people inside the citadel

136
00:13:21,258 --> 00:13:22,968
cannot hold out much longer.

137
00:13:25,262 --> 00:13:27,181
We have to bring food as soon as we can.

138
00:13:27,264 --> 00:13:29,642
I agree,
but even with our most skilled soldiers,

139
00:13:29,725 --> 00:13:31,393
we cannot fight our way through that many.

140
00:13:31,477 --> 00:13:33,270
They greatly outnumber us.

141
00:13:36,732 --> 00:13:38,025
We escape through this canal.

142
00:13:39,193 --> 00:13:41,612
Using it,
we could send wagons of food back.

143
00:13:42,112 --> 00:13:43,489
I think that's our only chance.

144
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:46,033
That area is one we know very well.

145
00:13:46,116 --> 00:13:47,368
Let us take the food.

146
00:13:48,619 --> 00:13:50,538
Our families are still in the citadel.

147
00:13:50,621 --> 00:13:51,872
Allow us to do it, please.

148
00:13:51,956 --> 00:13:53,541
They'll attack from all sides.

149
00:13:54,208 --> 00:13:55,292
Still think you can do it?

150
00:13:58,587 --> 00:14:00,130
If we take this route

151
00:14:00,923 --> 00:14:02,216
to the canal,

152
00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:04,218
and provide cover along the way...

153
00:14:04,301 --> 00:14:05,970
JUSEOMYEON, JUNAMMYEON

154
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:09,640
...it could increase our odds.

155
00:14:09,723 --> 00:14:11,433
We could cover you
after you cross the river,

156
00:14:11,517 --> 00:14:14,311
but in the mountains,
you won't be visible to us anymore.

157
00:14:15,479 --> 00:14:18,274
How can we provide cover fire
if we can't see where you are?

158
00:14:22,278 --> 00:14:24,488
[tense music]

159
00:14:31,662 --> 00:14:33,372
-Fire now.
-[soldier] Fire!

160
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,441
FIRE

161
00:15:16,373 --> 00:15:17,917
[cannon fire continues]

162
00:15:24,214 --> 00:15:25,466
Look! Over there!

163
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,968
They are launching cannon fire
near the canal.

164
00:15:38,687 --> 00:15:40,189
Come on, everyone. Be quick.

165
00:15:40,272 --> 00:15:41,398
Come on. Hurry!

166
00:15:41,482 --> 00:15:43,567
[man 1] Oh, they've stopped fighting.

167
00:15:43,651 --> 00:15:44,902
[man 2] Move, quickly!

168
00:15:51,116 --> 00:15:52,534
[man 2 grunts wearily]

169
00:15:53,661 --> 00:15:54,662
[sighs]

170
00:15:54,745 --> 00:15:56,705
I don't understand. What is going on here?

171
00:15:56,789 --> 00:15:59,959
It's His Highness, the Prince.
He's taking Lord Cho Hak-ju down,

172
00:16:00,042 --> 00:16:01,585
and he's in control of Mungyeong Saejae.

173
00:16:01,669 --> 00:16:02,878
Oh, that's great news.

174
00:16:05,089 --> 00:16:07,424
His Highness regrets
that he could not be here.

175
00:16:07,591 --> 00:16:09,551
He must resolve a matter in Hanyang.

176
00:16:09,677 --> 00:16:11,553
However, I come bearing a message.

177
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:14,974
It is not possible to get everyone
out of the citadel safely

178
00:16:15,057 --> 00:16:16,183
as we are still outnumbered.

179
00:16:16,266 --> 00:16:21,021
So, we will continue to bring you food
using this method from time to time.

180
00:16:21,146 --> 00:16:23,691
So please stay here
and hold out as long as you can.

181
00:16:23,774 --> 00:16:25,317
[indistinct chatter]

182
00:16:25,401 --> 00:16:27,319
[children giggling]

183
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:30,489
[man] Come on, give me a hand with this.

184
00:16:31,407 --> 00:16:34,159
THE BASE CAMP IN MUNGYEONG SAEJAE

185
00:16:42,918 --> 00:16:43,752
How is he doing?

186
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,089
His body temperature keeps dropping.

187
00:16:49,216 --> 00:16:50,259
Hmm.

188
00:16:50,968 --> 00:16:54,054
But you are sure that my uncle
will not turn into one of those monsters?

189
00:16:54,138 --> 00:16:56,974
I'm reasonably certain
that he will not turn.

190
00:16:57,057 --> 00:16:59,351
Besides, not everyone
turns into a monster.

191
00:17:00,394 --> 00:17:01,729
Like Dan-i.

192
00:17:01,812 --> 00:17:03,439
He was bitten by the King,

193
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:05,149
and he never turned into one.

194
00:17:06,775 --> 00:17:10,404
However, he did become bedridden
and die eventually.

195
00:17:12,239 --> 00:17:13,741
The disease has changed.

196
00:17:14,116 --> 00:17:16,910
Dongnae, Jiyulheon happened differently.

197
00:17:17,453 --> 00:17:20,664
It was the ones who ate Dan-i's flesh
that became monsters.

198
00:17:21,415 --> 00:17:24,168
They spread the disease afterwards.

199
00:17:24,251 --> 00:17:25,961
Then, uh...

200
00:17:26,336 --> 00:17:28,464
Then, what will the disease do
to my uncle?

201
00:17:29,798 --> 00:17:31,925
While he may not fall prey to it,

202
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:34,678
he'll probably die from the symptoms,

203
00:17:35,179 --> 00:17:36,472
just as Dan-i had.

204
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:38,140
We have to treat him somehow.

205
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:44,772
Seo-bi, please save his life.

206
00:17:45,939 --> 00:17:49,401
I know what he's done to His Majesty
is unforgivable,

207
00:17:49,735 --> 00:17:52,321
but we cannot let him die
in such a horrible way.

208
00:17:52,404 --> 00:17:53,322
Dan-i...

209
00:17:54,156 --> 00:17:56,450
there was nothing I could do to help him.

210
00:17:58,744 --> 00:18:00,537
This time has to be different.

211
00:18:02,623 --> 00:18:05,667
If I cure him
and find out what causes the symptoms,

212
00:18:06,251 --> 00:18:08,670
maybe I will find a way
to bring this plague under control

213
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:09,630
once and for all.

214
00:18:10,214 --> 00:18:13,467
All right. Just whatever you do,
please save my uncle's life.

215
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:18,097
His body temperature has dropped again.

216
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:20,891
We must warm his body.
Look around for any herbs that could help.

217
00:18:20,974 --> 00:18:22,976
Sure. Okay. I can do that.

218
00:18:25,270 --> 00:18:27,397
[breathing anxiously]

219
00:18:28,023 --> 00:18:29,608
Seo-bi. Seo-bi, wait.

220
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:31,068
Would this work?

221
00:18:31,151 --> 00:18:33,612
This is a rare medicinal wood
that the Queen asked for.

222
00:18:34,905 --> 00:18:36,281
Sappanwood?

223
00:18:36,365 --> 00:18:39,451
It's used to treat
gynecological conditions and ailments.

224
00:18:39,910 --> 00:18:42,454
Lord Cho would not benefit from this,
unfortunately.

225
00:18:42,538 --> 00:18:43,497
[Beom-pal sighs]

226
00:18:47,876 --> 00:18:48,919
[Seo-bi] Wait.

227
00:18:50,796 --> 00:18:51,880
Did you...

228
00:18:52,714 --> 00:18:55,425
say Her Majesty asked for this herb?

229
00:18:57,386 --> 00:19:00,180
This couldn't be
for Her Majesty herself, could it?

230
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:01,807
Of course it's for Her Majesty.

231
00:19:01,890 --> 00:19:04,017
Why else would I have worked so hard
to get it?

232
00:19:06,186 --> 00:19:08,272
You mean the Queen herself used this?

233
00:19:09,898 --> 00:19:11,733
No. That cannot be.

234
00:19:15,863 --> 00:19:18,282
Did the Queen use it recently?

235
00:19:20,117 --> 00:19:21,827
Is that really important right now?

236
00:19:22,202 --> 00:19:23,829
My uncle has one foot in his grave.

237
00:19:23,912 --> 00:19:25,414
Please, you must tell me.

238
00:19:26,540 --> 00:19:27,583
[sighs]

239
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:29,835
I had to get this wood last month
and the month before.

240
00:19:32,421 --> 00:19:33,672
What's wrong?

241
00:19:39,928 --> 00:19:41,096
-[door opens]
-[both gasp]

242
00:19:41,180 --> 00:19:42,264
[horses galloping]

243
00:19:42,347 --> 00:19:43,557
[soldier 1] Yah! Yah!

244
00:19:44,766 --> 00:19:45,684
Yah!

245
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:50,189
[soldier 2] Your Highness.

246
00:19:51,356 --> 00:19:52,733
We have a problem.

247
00:19:57,279 --> 00:19:58,405
[Lee Gang-yun] What happened?

248
00:19:58,864 --> 00:20:00,616
Where are the soldiers who were on guard?

249
00:20:00,908 --> 00:20:03,785
They were killed.
We found their bodies behind the building.

250
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:04,995
Who did this?

251
00:20:06,288 --> 00:20:07,581
Tell me right now!

252
00:20:09,041 --> 00:20:11,376
[soldier 2] I was informed
that Your Highness' personal guard

253
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,045
passed the three gates with a carriage.

254
00:20:13,128 --> 00:20:15,714
He said he was carrying out an order
by His Highness.

255
00:20:17,674 --> 00:20:19,593
[tense music]

256
00:20:25,682 --> 00:20:27,768
[panting]

257
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:36,610
Yah!

258
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:43,492
[woman] What is this place?

259
00:20:45,786 --> 00:20:49,539
His Majesty collapsed just a few days ago
due to smallpox.

260
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,251
The palace is in total chaos right now.

261
00:20:53,502 --> 00:20:56,421
Unfortunately, I must work.
I cannot stay at your side.

262
00:20:56,755 --> 00:21:00,092
And I worry about leaving you alone
since you're so close to giving birth.

263
00:21:01,009 --> 00:21:03,637
This residence belongs
to an acquaintance of mine.

264
00:21:04,263 --> 00:21:06,181
In just a few days, I will return for you.

265
00:21:06,765 --> 00:21:08,225
If I am to wait here,

266
00:21:08,892 --> 00:21:10,894
then who will take care of you
when you come home?

267
00:21:10,978 --> 00:21:13,772
Even if it's only for a few hours,
who will cook your meals?

268
00:21:14,356 --> 00:21:15,399
Please.

269
00:21:15,732 --> 00:21:18,193
I want to stay with you, where I belong.

270
00:21:24,157 --> 00:21:27,619
I will never understand what I did
to deserve such a loving wife.

271
00:21:27,703 --> 00:21:31,999
Especially when you suffer
with a husband as foolish as I am.

272
00:21:34,584 --> 00:21:35,627
[sighs]

273
00:21:36,753 --> 00:21:37,796
I'm sorry.

274
00:21:39,381 --> 00:21:40,716
You know I truly am.

275
00:21:44,428 --> 00:21:45,971
I'll wait for you, then.

276
00:21:47,431 --> 00:21:49,433
And there is no need to worry about me.

277
00:21:52,477 --> 00:21:54,062
It will only be a few days.

278
00:21:54,896 --> 00:21:56,732
So, please look after yourself

279
00:21:56,815 --> 00:21:58,191
and wait for my return.

280
00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:01,778
[inhales deeply]

281
00:22:13,915 --> 00:22:15,042
Take her to the room.

282
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:17,294
This way, please.

283
00:22:18,754 --> 00:22:21,048
[poignant music]

284
00:22:38,815 --> 00:22:40,692
[Beom-il] You made a wise decision.

285
00:22:41,735 --> 00:22:44,404
I'm truly glad
you brought her here yourself.

286
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:47,657
Now you know your wife is in good hands.

287
00:22:48,617 --> 00:22:50,619
And we are getting what we want.

288
00:22:54,331 --> 00:22:55,248
If anything...

289
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:58,752
untoward happens to my wife
while she's here,

290
00:23:01,004 --> 00:23:02,297
I will not...

291
00:23:04,216 --> 00:23:05,926
I will not stand idly by.

292
00:23:11,473 --> 00:23:14,226
Know your place.
You have no right to threaten.

293
00:23:17,646 --> 00:23:21,149
Shall I grab your wife by her hair
and drag her here?

294
00:23:22,067 --> 00:23:24,361
And end her life before your eyes?

295
00:23:26,947 --> 00:23:29,324
I understand the Crown Prince
is very fond of you,

296
00:23:29,408 --> 00:23:33,412
but the Haewon Cho Clan
will not be threatened by a mere guard.

297
00:23:35,205 --> 00:23:37,374
I need to know
where the Crown Prince goes,

298
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:39,668
and with who he meets.

299
00:23:40,168 --> 00:23:41,420
Understand?

300
00:23:42,129 --> 00:23:43,505
That's the only...

301
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:47,968
way your family's safety will be ensured.

302
00:23:50,095 --> 00:23:51,513
[sighs]

303
00:24:17,873 --> 00:24:18,915
[sighs]

304
00:24:22,961 --> 00:24:24,171
Yah!

305
00:24:26,798 --> 00:24:27,841
Yah!

306
00:24:33,847 --> 00:24:34,764
Yah!

307
00:24:37,434 --> 00:24:39,769
It has already been four hours
since they left.

308
00:24:39,853 --> 00:24:42,439
Even though they are burdened,
they must be very far by now.

309
00:24:42,522 --> 00:24:44,149
If Cho Hak-ju reaches Hanyang first,

310
00:24:44,232 --> 00:24:46,276
he will return with the might
of the Five Armies.

311
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,278
The people are still scarred
by the last war.

312
00:24:48,361 --> 00:24:49,905
We cannot let our country implode again.

313
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:51,364
But how will you catch him?

314
00:24:51,448 --> 00:24:53,825
There are many routes
he could have taken to get to Hanyang.

315
00:24:55,035 --> 00:24:56,203
I am a tiger hunter.

316
00:24:56,578 --> 00:24:59,456
No one is better at chasing targets.
Allow me to join you.

317
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:02,626
[Lee Chang] Yah!

318
00:25:02,709 --> 00:25:04,586
-Yah!
-[Yeong-sin] Yah!

319
00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:05,754
[Lee Chang] Yah!

320
00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:09,299
Yah! Yah!

321
00:25:10,425 --> 00:25:12,385
[tense music]

322
00:25:18,350 --> 00:25:19,643
Is anyone outside?

323
00:25:19,726 --> 00:25:20,727
HANYANG CONFERENCE HALL

324
00:25:20,810 --> 00:25:22,354
Why have we still not received word?

325
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:27,484
Lord, we have not heard any news
from the Queen's Palace yet.

326
00:25:27,567 --> 00:25:30,570
But Her Majesty's labor pains
began hours ago!

327
00:25:31,029 --> 00:25:33,281
What if something has gone wrong?
Have you considered that?

328
00:25:33,365 --> 00:25:36,368
Stop making such a fuss and sit down.
Just have patience.

329
00:25:36,451 --> 00:25:38,036
I cannot tolerate this nuisance.

330
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:43,625
Councilors,

331
00:25:44,084 --> 00:25:46,086
are you not at all curious, though?

332
00:25:46,461 --> 00:25:50,465
His Majesty was falling in and out
of consciousness due to the plague.

333
00:25:51,216 --> 00:25:55,762
So why would the Chief State Councilor
take His Majesty to Mungyeong Saejae?

334
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:58,515
That is not important right now.

335
00:25:58,848 --> 00:26:00,183
The only thing that matters

336
00:26:00,267 --> 00:26:03,103
is whether or not we can restore
the backbone of this kingdom.

337
00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:04,896
[sighs]

338
00:26:07,190 --> 00:26:10,151
[woman breathing anxiously, whimpering]

339
00:26:15,949 --> 00:26:17,158
[groans]

340
00:26:18,743 --> 00:26:20,620
[screams]

341
00:26:21,121 --> 00:26:23,582
[man] Who ordered the killings
of the women and children?

342
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:26,835
[woman] How dare you!

343
00:26:27,294 --> 00:26:30,380
You dare to suspect Her Majesty?

344
00:26:31,089 --> 00:26:35,093
The moment Her Majesty learns
about this betrayal,

345
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,803
you...

346
00:26:37,512 --> 00:26:40,473
will face our Queen's wrath!

347
00:26:40,724 --> 00:26:42,976
[breathing shakily, groaning]

348
00:26:43,059 --> 00:26:45,186
Are you keeping a close watch
on the Queen's Palace?

349
00:26:46,062 --> 00:26:47,105
Yes, sir.

350
00:26:47,439 --> 00:26:50,025
We are monitoring everyone,
from the court ladies

351
00:26:50,108 --> 00:26:52,360
to the court maids,
even the water maids are being tracked.

352
00:26:52,777 --> 00:26:54,029
[panting]
Sir.

353
00:26:56,364 --> 00:26:58,575
I was just informed
of something very strange,

354
00:26:58,908 --> 00:27:01,202
from the people
who lent palanquins to Naeseonjae.

355
00:27:01,870 --> 00:27:04,122
It seems that there were more, actually.

356
00:27:04,205 --> 00:27:06,499
Six palanquins, not three last night.

357
00:27:09,294 --> 00:27:11,379
[ominous music]

358
00:27:17,719 --> 00:27:19,429
What can we do for you?

359
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:22,682
I am here to search
the servants' quarters. It is urgent.

360
00:27:22,766 --> 00:27:25,268
We cannot let anyone
enter these grounds at the moment.

361
00:27:25,852 --> 00:27:28,688
Surely the servants' quarters
cannot be off limits.

362
00:27:29,481 --> 00:27:31,650
We are looking for evidence
of a serious crime.

363
00:27:33,109 --> 00:27:34,319
Step aside.

364
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:56,758
[woman] What is the meaning of this?

365
00:27:59,135 --> 00:28:01,513
Her Majesty
is in the middle of childbirth.

366
00:28:02,055 --> 00:28:04,474
You dare make a scene?
This will not go unpunished.

367
00:28:04,557 --> 00:28:07,894
The guards in the East Gate informed us
at around 10 p.m. last night,

368
00:28:08,353 --> 00:28:11,564
they saw three palanquins
entering the Queen's private residence.

369
00:28:11,648 --> 00:28:13,942
Wet nurses came to breastfeed the baby.

370
00:28:14,275 --> 00:28:16,403
-That's not a crime, is it?
-Of course not.

371
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:18,113
The guards also mentioned

372
00:28:18,196 --> 00:28:21,616
these palanquins entered the residence
without being questioned who was inside.

373
00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:25,453
You instructed the guards not to ask,
but I must know.

374
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:28,123
And I already told you,
it was the wet nurses.

375
00:28:28,206 --> 00:28:29,332
Step aside.

376
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:54,149
[man] Pray tell, what on earth happened?

377
00:28:54,232 --> 00:28:56,276
We arrested him at the Queen's Palace.

378
00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:58,111
He had entered
the Office of Royal Delivery.

379
00:28:58,194 --> 00:29:00,947
You dare barge into the Queen's Palace,

380
00:29:01,030 --> 00:29:03,199
knowing full well
that Her Majesty is in labor?

381
00:29:03,616 --> 00:29:06,703
Not even a king can enter
the Office of Royal Delivery.

382
00:29:06,786 --> 00:29:10,123
I understand that you are the head
of the Royal Commandery Division,

383
00:29:10,206 --> 00:29:12,834
but this is a serious offense
that will not go unpunished.

384
00:29:13,710 --> 00:29:16,087
They arrested the head
of the Royal Commandery.

385
00:29:16,171 --> 00:29:18,548
The soldiers investigating Naeseonjae
have left.

386
00:29:19,340 --> 00:29:20,592
That matter is done.

387
00:29:20,675 --> 00:29:21,926
[chuckles]

388
00:29:30,268 --> 00:29:32,187
They dare to get in my way?

389
00:29:32,854 --> 00:29:35,523
Those Royal Commandery rats
are as good as dead.

390
00:29:35,940 --> 00:29:37,358
[court lady] It's as I said.

391
00:29:37,984 --> 00:29:40,153
No one can outsmart Your Majesty.

392
00:29:40,737 --> 00:29:42,906
Now that they have lost their power,

393
00:29:42,989 --> 00:29:45,200
the Royal Commandery is finished as well.

394
00:29:45,283 --> 00:29:46,576
No one stands in your way.

395
00:29:49,913 --> 00:29:50,830
So then,

396
00:29:51,915 --> 00:29:52,957
what of the baby?

397
00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:56,711
The remaining pregnant women
have been sent back to Naeseonjae.

398
00:29:57,128 --> 00:30:01,758
I... believe they can expect
very good news soon.

399
00:30:05,929 --> 00:30:06,805
[Seo-bi groans]

400
00:30:10,767 --> 00:30:13,269
Hey, sir!
We have to stop right now, please!

401
00:30:17,273 --> 00:30:18,399
Sir!

402
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:20,735
Please, his condition is worsening.

403
00:30:21,402 --> 00:30:22,320
Sir!

404
00:30:23,321 --> 00:30:25,448
-[grunts]
-[horse neighs]

405
00:30:26,908 --> 00:30:28,618
[sighs]
His body is ice-cold.

406
00:30:28,701 --> 00:30:30,578
I could barely feel his pulse.

407
00:30:32,413 --> 00:30:33,748
How much longer will he last?

408
00:30:34,749 --> 00:30:37,126
Well, at this rate, he will die very soon.

409
00:30:40,255 --> 00:30:43,007
Please, good sir,
we must find a place to lie him down.

410
00:31:04,153 --> 00:31:05,113
[stammering]
Wait...

411
00:31:05,196 --> 00:31:06,030
Wait, Seo-bi.

412
00:31:11,953 --> 00:31:13,079
[groans]

413
00:31:15,039 --> 00:31:16,124
Uh...

414
00:31:17,584 --> 00:31:19,961
[mumbling]

415
00:32:09,886 --> 00:32:11,220
[horses trotting]

416
00:32:13,181 --> 00:32:15,183
I'm certain they went that way.

417
00:32:15,808 --> 00:32:17,352
It's the only route to Hanyang.

418
00:32:17,894 --> 00:32:19,812
So we should be able to catch them now.

419
00:32:19,896 --> 00:32:21,814
[panting]

420
00:32:25,902 --> 00:32:27,236
Why did you do nothing?

421
00:32:30,365 --> 00:32:31,950
Your Highness, he betrayed you.

422
00:32:33,242 --> 00:32:34,869
And you knew it just as well.

423
00:32:40,541 --> 00:32:42,502
I wasn't ready to lose anyone else.

424
00:32:45,338 --> 00:32:46,339
That's why.

425
00:32:48,883 --> 00:32:50,259
I wanted to trust him.

426
00:32:51,094 --> 00:32:53,221
[sorrowful music]

427
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:07,193
[Seo-bi] Excuse me, sir.

428
00:33:08,194 --> 00:33:10,905
Do you know when His Highness will arrive?

429
00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:13,366
You said he would follow
behind us shortly.

430
00:33:19,247 --> 00:33:20,540
How is Lord Cho?

431
00:33:20,999 --> 00:33:25,086
His condition is stable for now. However,
he does not seem to be doing well.

432
00:33:25,962 --> 00:33:28,673
If it's safe here, we should continue
to wait for His Highness.

433
00:33:32,135 --> 00:33:33,636
No, we have to leave now.

434
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:34,679
Gather His Lord.

435
00:33:35,638 --> 00:33:37,223
Tell me the truth.

436
00:33:38,099 --> 00:33:40,435
Prince Chang did not request we leave,
did he?

437
00:33:43,521 --> 00:33:46,733
And you have no intention of waiting
for His Highness to catch us?

438
00:33:47,358 --> 00:33:49,318
I know not why you are acting this way,

439
00:33:51,821 --> 00:33:53,531
but I implore you to reconsider.

440
00:33:54,615 --> 00:33:57,076
I could tell His Highness
is very fond of you.

441
00:33:57,160 --> 00:33:58,244
He relies on you as well.

442
00:33:59,579 --> 00:34:02,999
So, I thought you made it your duty
to keep His Highness safe.

443
00:34:06,753 --> 00:34:08,296
I told you we're leaving.

444
00:34:08,755 --> 00:34:10,214
No. I will not go.

445
00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:12,884
There is something important
I must tell the Prince.

446
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:19,974
Look, this is sappanwood,
a tree that only grows in Japan.

447
00:34:20,224 --> 00:34:23,478
It's medicinal.
It's very rare and expensive to procure.

448
00:34:24,062 --> 00:34:26,147
-What of it?
-Traditionally...

449
00:34:26,731 --> 00:34:29,567
it is used to remove blood clots
after a miscarriage or birth,

450
00:34:29,650 --> 00:34:33,321
or to alleviate symptoms related
to improper or lack of postpartum care.

451
00:34:33,654 --> 00:34:35,364
This medicine is very strong.

452
00:34:36,032 --> 00:34:38,493
Women who are pregnant
should not be using it at all.

453
00:34:38,576 --> 00:34:40,787
I have no time for this.
What are you trying to say?

454
00:34:40,870 --> 00:34:42,121
The Queen...

455
00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:45,083
I know Her Majesty is using sappanwood.

456
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:47,627
What do you mean "Her Majesty"?

457
00:34:48,294 --> 00:34:50,630
You just said that it cannot be taken
while carrying a child.

458
00:34:50,713 --> 00:34:53,966
Exactly. The Queen cannot be taking this
if she is still pregnant,

459
00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:55,718
but the magistrate told me that she is.

460
00:34:56,135 --> 00:34:57,428
Then he must be mistaken.

461
00:34:57,512 --> 00:35:01,724
Sir, I am as confused as you are.
However, if what he says is true,

462
00:35:02,850 --> 00:35:05,353
then we have to tell His Highness
as soon as we can.

463
00:35:05,686 --> 00:35:09,190
And if Her Majesty is truly taking this,
we must find out why that is.

464
00:35:14,904 --> 00:35:16,280
-[woman 1] Wait.
-[woman 2] Eh?

465
00:35:16,364 --> 00:35:18,491
-[woman 1] Are you sure you're done?
-[woman 2] Uh-huh.

466
00:35:18,574 --> 00:35:20,493
[chuckles]

467
00:35:23,121 --> 00:35:25,206
[foreboding music]

468
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:51,357
Did you say...

469
00:35:52,900 --> 00:35:55,444
it's taken after birth or miscarriage?

470
00:35:56,112 --> 00:35:57,321
Normally, yes.

471
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:01,159
[coughing]

472
00:36:06,581 --> 00:36:08,082
[coughing]

473
00:36:10,585 --> 00:36:12,211
My Lord, are you all right?

474
00:36:14,463 --> 00:36:16,048
[groggily]
Where are we?

475
00:36:17,466 --> 00:36:18,718
I want answers.

476
00:36:19,218 --> 00:36:20,303
What is this?

477
00:36:20,970 --> 00:36:22,388
What is it used for?

478
00:36:24,223 --> 00:36:25,808
I'm not sure.

479
00:36:25,892 --> 00:36:28,728
Naeseonjae boarded several women
late in pregnancy.

480
00:36:29,979 --> 00:36:31,314
Why were they gathered there?

481
00:36:33,774 --> 00:36:36,527
What are you scheming
with those women at Naeseonjae?

482
00:36:38,613 --> 00:36:40,072
You will tell me right now.

483
00:36:47,246 --> 00:36:48,206
[horses neigh]

484
00:36:57,924 --> 00:36:59,342
[menacing music]

485
00:37:16,651 --> 00:37:17,860
Escort Lord Cho! Quickly!

486
00:37:17,944 --> 00:37:18,903
Yes, sir!

487
00:37:55,940 --> 00:37:57,858
[Seo-bi, distraught] Sir!

488
00:38:02,029 --> 00:38:03,114
[gasps]

489
00:38:07,743 --> 00:38:09,912
[sorrowful music]

490
00:38:13,457 --> 00:38:14,792
[stammering]
Seo-bi,

491
00:38:16,210 --> 00:38:17,211
the thing is...

492
00:38:17,837 --> 00:38:21,257
I didn't have a choice.
My uncle told me to do this.

493
00:38:33,811 --> 00:38:35,646
Seo-bi, we have to go.

494
00:38:36,272 --> 00:38:38,816
If you refuse, he will kill you as well.

495
00:38:41,694 --> 00:38:43,029
[weakly]
Go now.

496
00:38:46,615 --> 00:38:47,533
Go...

497
00:38:51,412 --> 00:38:53,748
Find out at all cost.

498
00:39:01,630 --> 00:39:02,965
Go now.

499
00:39:06,677 --> 00:39:07,762
Hurry.

500
00:39:34,121 --> 00:39:35,664
[woman whimpering]

501
00:39:35,748 --> 00:39:39,043
[muffled scream]

Mu-yeong...

508
00:40:44,817 --> 00:40:45,776
Mu-yeong!

509
00:40:53,617 --> 00:40:54,785
[weakly]
Sir...

510
00:40:57,413 --> 00:40:58,664
Sir...

511
00:41:00,332 --> 00:41:01,625
[sniffles]

512
00:41:03,085 --> 00:41:04,378
Sir...

513
00:41:05,921 --> 00:41:07,882
I'm sorry, sir.

514
00:41:09,467 --> 00:41:11,802
Your Highness, I'm sorry...

515
00:41:12,052 --> 00:41:13,012
[Lee Chang sniffles]

516
00:41:13,387 --> 00:41:15,514
...for all my foolishness.

517
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,312
[yelling]
I need help, hurry!

518
00:41:22,313 --> 00:41:24,273
Please, someone help him right now!

519
00:41:31,697 --> 00:41:33,324
Naeseonjae...

520
00:41:34,366 --> 00:41:36,785
There are many pregnant women there.

521
00:41:37,286 --> 00:41:38,537
The Queen...

522
00:41:39,246 --> 00:41:41,999
and her court are plotting something.

523
00:41:43,042 --> 00:41:44,210
The nurse...

524
00:41:45,544 --> 00:41:47,963
The nurse knows everything.

525
00:41:51,383 --> 00:41:52,843
Naeseonjae...

526
00:41:55,554 --> 00:41:57,681
My wife is there as well.

527
00:41:58,349 --> 00:42:01,227
[muffled cry]

528
00:42:08,359 --> 00:42:09,693
Family...

529
00:42:11,946 --> 00:42:13,697
My family is there.

530
00:42:18,577 --> 00:42:20,204
Your Highness...

531
00:42:23,874 --> 00:42:25,459
I'm sorry.

532
00:42:27,795 --> 00:42:31,090
I'm sorry for failing to protect you...

533
00:42:33,217 --> 00:42:34,802
to the very end.

534
00:42:39,890 --> 00:42:42,268

Mu-yeong.

538
00:43:07,751 --> 00:43:09,044
Mu-yeong.
