00:01:10,945 --> 00:01:12,155
[snarls]

00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:36,262
[infected snarling]

5
00:01:38,848 --> 00:01:40,683
What should we do?
[breathing anxiously]

6
00:01:43,311 --> 00:01:46,481
We will do everything we can to ensure
Your Highness can escape to safety.

7
00:01:46,898 --> 00:01:48,233
Where does that leave you?

8
00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:50,026
I won't let you all die.

9
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:52,487
-Not for my sake.
-Your Highness...

10
00:01:54,197 --> 00:01:56,116
someone has to survive tonight.

11
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:00,078
The people need to know the truth.

12
00:02:03,331 --> 00:02:05,416
[menacing music]

13
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:16,886
[gunfire]

14
00:02:30,525 --> 00:02:32,986
Bring fire! They are afraid of fire!

15
00:02:44,873 --> 00:02:47,834
-[men shouting]
-[infected snarling]

16
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:12,567
Father, are you watching?

17
00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:18,114
You see?

18
00:03:21,951 --> 00:03:24,037
They will take nothing from me.

19
00:03:51,064 --> 00:03:52,732
[baby wailing]

20
00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:49,914
[snarling]

21
00:04:49,998 --> 00:04:53,084
There's a chance we can get Your Highness
out through the rear garden.

22
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:56,129
The main gate is blocked off.

23
00:04:56,212 --> 00:04:58,172
The garden is the last option
we have left.

24
00:04:59,007 --> 00:05:00,550
Your Highness, there's no time.

25
00:05:00,633 --> 00:05:02,552
Let us escort you to the rear garden.

26
00:05:02,635 --> 00:05:04,178
[breathing heavily]

27
00:05:09,475 --> 00:05:11,602
The rear garden.

28
00:05:14,897 --> 00:05:15,732
[gasps]

29
00:05:19,277 --> 00:05:21,821
-How many bullets do we have left?
-Not many, Your Highness.

30
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:24,324
We don't have enough to take them all out.

31
00:05:26,576 --> 00:05:28,161
The bullets are not for them.

32
00:05:33,249 --> 00:05:34,834
[snarling]

33
00:05:41,215 --> 00:05:44,635
[Chang] If we become the bait ourselves,
this may work.

[tense music]

41
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:51,160
Keep your eyes open!
Don't look at the ground!

42
00:06:51,536 --> 00:06:53,496
[screams]

43
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:05,800

00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:21,936
[snarling]

49
00:09:43,291 --> 00:09:45,876
[pants]
It looks like they sealed off the gates.

50
00:09:46,627 --> 00:09:47,795
[sighs]

51
00:09:49,297 --> 00:09:50,673
Your Highness,

52
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:54,260
what on earth is going on
inside the palace?

53
00:09:55,136 --> 00:09:56,887
-[banging, rattling]
-[infected snarling]

54
00:09:56,971 --> 00:09:57,930

60
00:10:45,895 --> 00:10:47,021
[Chang] Dongnae,

61
00:10:48,022 --> 00:10:48,898
Sangju,

62
00:10:50,024 --> 00:10:51,901
we failed to stop the plague.

63
00:10:53,819 --> 00:10:55,529
I won't let that happen again.

64
00:10:56,739 --> 00:10:59,075
I will stop it, no matter what it takes.

65
00:11:18,052 --> 00:11:20,054
[stirring music]

66
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,165
[suspenseful music]

67
00:11:57,258 --> 00:11:58,217
[wind whistling]

68
00:11:58,300 --> 00:11:59,343

00:12:00,928 --> 00:12:02,555

[snarling]

73
00:12:32,626 --> 00:12:34,211
Do it now! Fire!

74
00:13:04,825 --> 00:13:06,535
[panting]

75
00:13:12,082 --> 00:13:14,376
[screams]

76
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:19,215
No, no, no!

77
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:24,887
Don't touch me! Get away from me!
Stay back! Stay back!

78
00:13:26,931 --> 00:13:28,224
[screaming]
Get off me!

79
00:14:21,443 --> 00:14:23,821
[shrieks]

80
00:14:39,712 --> 00:14:40,796
[groans]

81
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:53,517
[grunts aggressively]

82
00:15:16,373 --> 00:15:18,375
[ominous music]

83
00:16:06,507 --> 00:16:08,509
[booming snarl]

84
00:16:36,662 --> 00:16:38,080
[Chang yells furiously]

85
00:17:06,275 --> 00:17:08,569
[tense music]

86
00:17:35,345 --> 00:17:37,347
[foreboding music]

87
00:18:37,074 --> 00:18:41,036
[gasping, panting]

88
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:55,592
How did we survive that?

89
00:18:55,676 --> 00:18:57,010
We all got bitten by them.

90
00:18:57,636 --> 00:18:58,929
I do not know...

91
00:18:59,513 --> 00:19:01,348
but we're alive.
[grunts]

92
00:19:46,310 --> 00:19:49,730
Your Royal Highness.
Long live our new King.

93
00:19:51,398 --> 00:19:54,234
[councilors] Long live our new King!

94
00:19:56,528 --> 00:19:58,363
Your Highness, I'm glad you are safe.

95
00:19:59,573 --> 00:20:01,617
Please tell me, what on earth
happened last night?

96
00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:04,244
Send what troops
we have left to the palace.

97
00:20:04,328 --> 00:20:07,122
Bring our men down from the walls,
as quick as you can.

98
00:20:17,674 --> 00:20:20,510
Have you completed pulling the bodies
out of the reservoir?

99
00:20:20,594 --> 00:20:21,553
[soldier] Yes, sir.

100
00:20:22,596 --> 00:20:23,555
[sighs]

101
00:20:41,782 --> 00:20:42,616
[gasps]

102
00:20:45,619 --> 00:20:46,787
Seo-bi...

103
00:20:58,006 --> 00:21:01,718
You're serious?
The plague spread into the palace?

104
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:03,220
Who lived through the night?

105
00:21:05,013 --> 00:21:08,767
Did everyone die except
for Your Highness and your guard?

106
00:21:11,728 --> 00:21:13,438
Including the Queen...

107
00:21:14,314 --> 00:21:16,066
and all of the ministers too?

108
00:21:16,149 --> 00:21:17,192
Yes.

109
00:21:20,237 --> 00:21:21,863
What news do you have?

110
00:21:23,198 --> 00:21:25,659
We were not able to locate
the Prince's corpse.

111
00:21:27,536 --> 00:21:29,079
We must find him.

112
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:31,873
Princes cannot simply disappear.

113
00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:34,710
I know there were guards
that escaped last night.

114
00:21:34,793 --> 00:21:39,172
Also, many rural magistrates
support the Haewon Cho Clan.

115
00:21:39,673 --> 00:21:41,508
If that child is alive,

116
00:21:41,591 --> 00:21:44,761
those who support him will be sure
to revolt in the future.

117
00:21:45,387 --> 00:21:47,180
For Your Highness' survival,

118
00:21:47,889 --> 00:21:52,060
this child must be put to death
by your hand.

119
00:22:16,460 --> 00:22:17,753
[snarls]

120
00:22:41,735 --> 00:22:44,196
YEONGYEONG GATE

121
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:46,281
[somber music]

122
00:23:00,170 --> 00:23:01,380
This room...

123
00:23:04,883 --> 00:23:07,260
it was built to house portraits...

124
00:23:08,970 --> 00:23:12,182
as a way to honor kings
past and present.

125
00:23:12,766 --> 00:23:14,393
This is my bloodline.

126
00:23:14,810 --> 00:23:17,896
These portraits are placed on the throne
as if they were alive.

127
00:23:17,979 --> 00:23:20,232
We perform our ancestral rites...

128
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:24,111
to honor their legacies.

129
00:23:24,861 --> 00:23:27,155
But there are two shrines
that remain empty.

130
00:23:28,031 --> 00:23:29,366
[baby coos]

131
00:23:30,742 --> 00:23:33,745
This one here was made for my father.

132
00:23:34,871 --> 00:23:36,081
And the other...

133
00:23:40,544 --> 00:23:42,546
This last one was built for me.

134
00:23:42,838 --> 00:23:44,631
[baby gurgles]

135
00:23:47,134 --> 00:23:48,260
Therefore...

136
00:23:50,971 --> 00:23:52,681
you shall come out at once.

137
00:24:18,874 --> 00:24:20,167
Let me see him.

138
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,464
Show me this child.

139
00:24:30,802 --> 00:24:32,846
[baby cooing]

140
00:24:33,346 --> 00:24:34,181
[unsheathes sword]

141
00:24:35,891 --> 00:24:37,184
This child has been bitten?

142
00:24:37,267 --> 00:24:40,103
He has been bitten, yes,
but he is not a monster.

143
00:24:41,521 --> 00:24:42,397
Trust me, sir.

144
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:44,608
This child is not stricken
with the plague.

145
00:24:45,859 --> 00:24:47,360
You must not kill him, please.

146
00:24:49,863 --> 00:24:50,947
Don't do this, sir.

147
00:24:51,031 --> 00:24:53,283
I know that you do not want
to end his life.

148
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:56,453
Highness, you asked me to protect him.

149
00:24:58,121 --> 00:24:59,873
I have done that for you.

150
00:25:00,123 --> 00:25:01,583
Go to the Queen's side...

151
00:25:02,292 --> 00:25:03,877
keep watch on her baby.

152
00:25:04,294 --> 00:25:07,172
You mean the Prince?
The Queen's newborn, Your Highness?

153
00:25:08,006 --> 00:25:09,883
Sir, there is something
I have to tell you.

154
00:25:10,300 --> 00:25:12,719
It has to do with the Queen
and her newborn son.

155
00:25:14,763 --> 00:25:17,224
-The child is not--
-I already know the truth.

156
00:25:20,101 --> 00:25:22,020
That child is Mu-yeong's son.

157
00:25:23,563 --> 00:25:24,439
So, I...

158
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:28,944
I need you to watch over him.

159
00:25:30,529 --> 00:25:34,658
Highness, you said that no one else
should get hurt, remember?

160
00:25:35,242 --> 00:25:38,161
So please, spare this child's life.

161
00:25:39,037 --> 00:25:40,914
This plague will come to an end.

162
00:25:41,289 --> 00:25:43,083
And this will all be a bad memory.

163
00:25:43,667 --> 00:25:45,085
Winter will be spring.

164
00:25:45,585 --> 00:25:47,295
This nightmare will be done.

165
00:25:47,629 --> 00:25:48,797
[breathing shakily]

166
00:25:58,640 --> 00:25:59,641
No.

167
00:26:01,685 --> 00:26:03,353
As long as this child lives...

168
00:26:05,605 --> 00:26:07,524
this terror will never end.

169
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:14,656
HONGCHI GATE

170
00:26:15,949 --> 00:26:19,244

[man] Begin!

[breathing shakily]

180
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:41,720
Highness.

181
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:49,394
It's time for us to head back.

182
00:29:01,781 --> 00:29:04,576
Someone told me
that Your Majesty would like to see

183
00:29:04,659 --> 00:29:06,369
the records from seven years ago.

184
00:29:06,828 --> 00:29:08,663
But surely you already know

185
00:29:09,372 --> 00:29:11,040
we sealed the records of that time

186
00:29:11,124 --> 00:29:13,752
so not even the kings can know
what happened back then.

187
00:29:13,835 --> 00:29:16,004
No one will tell me how my family died.

188
00:29:18,465 --> 00:29:21,926
My parents, my brother,
both passed seven years ago.

189
00:29:23,636 --> 00:29:26,055
All anyone tells me is it was the plague.

190
00:29:26,139 --> 00:29:28,892
Now the plague killed all the court ladies
and the guards.

191
00:29:29,642 --> 00:29:32,353
However, neither you nor uncle...

192
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:36,316
no one here will tell me anything
about who they were.

193
00:29:37,984 --> 00:29:39,819
So, who should I ask about this?

194
00:29:46,451 --> 00:29:49,037
The royal lecture will begin shortly,
Your Highness.

195
00:29:51,581 --> 00:29:52,749
The lessons you'll learn there

196
00:29:52,832 --> 00:29:55,126
will be valuable
in helping the country thrive.

197
00:29:55,210 --> 00:29:57,962
The more you learn,
the better you can lead the royal court

198
00:29:58,046 --> 00:29:59,756
and look after the people of Joseon.

199
00:30:06,930 --> 00:30:07,847
Escort His Majesty.

200
00:30:17,232 --> 00:30:20,527
[councilor] Our young King misses
his parents more and more by the day.

201
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:25,073
It would be too much for him to learn
what really happened to them back then.

202
00:30:25,156 --> 00:30:26,741
He'd be devastated.

203
00:30:26,825 --> 00:30:29,577
We must do what we can
to ensure His Majesty never finds out.

204
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:40,630
HANYANG

205
00:30:48,096 --> 00:30:50,682
Oh? Oh, wait, wait, wait! I know you!

206
00:30:52,433 --> 00:30:54,811
Yeong-sin? It is you, isn't it?

207
00:30:55,436 --> 00:30:56,938
It's been a while, my lord.

208
00:30:58,106 --> 00:30:59,148
Good to see you.

209
00:30:59,732 --> 00:31:02,443
[laughing]

210
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:07,407
[laughing continues]

211
00:31:07,490 --> 00:31:09,784
[slurring]
Oh, stop being so formal.

212
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:12,954
-Talk to me like your friend.
-You're drinking so much.

213
00:31:13,037 --> 00:31:14,330
Haven't you had enough?

214
00:31:14,914 --> 00:31:17,959
I'm only drinking this much
because I'm having dinner with you.

215
00:31:18,042 --> 00:31:22,130
-[sighs] Loosen up, will you?
-[chuckles]

216
00:31:22,922 --> 00:31:25,592
All right, fine. Then I will.

217
00:31:26,259 --> 00:31:29,178
Huh? I'm the Second State Councilor.

218
00:31:29,637 --> 00:31:32,473
Somebody!
This guy's getting chummy with me!

219
00:31:32,557 --> 00:31:35,310
-[laughing]
-And speaking of titles...

220
00:31:35,768 --> 00:31:38,605
what would people say if they saw
a court official sitting there,

221
00:31:38,688 --> 00:31:39,898
eating up all their food, huh?

222
00:31:40,189 --> 00:31:42,984
[both laugh]

223
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:44,444
You couldn't be more right.

224
00:31:44,777 --> 00:31:46,487
I don't know how I ended up here.

225
00:31:46,988 --> 00:31:50,617
You know, back in Dongnae,
I only took the magistrate position

226
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:52,577
because if I didn't, my uncle said

227
00:31:52,660 --> 00:31:54,662
he'd make me a eunuch.
[laughs]

228
00:31:54,746 --> 00:31:57,373
But I am the Second State Councilor now.

229
00:31:58,166 --> 00:32:01,336
But you know what,
it's a lot of responsibility.

230
00:32:01,711 --> 00:32:03,421
I gotta look good all the time,

231
00:32:03,504 --> 00:32:06,299
and I never get to drink like this.
[laughs]

232
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:11,346
But you're doing great things.
Order is being restored.

233
00:32:11,846 --> 00:32:13,473
Gyeongsang has recovered.

234
00:32:14,015 --> 00:32:15,975
This country has overcome so much.

235
00:32:16,809 --> 00:32:18,102
I've seen it firsthand.

236
00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:20,480
That's enough.

237
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:24,734
Don't make me talk
about serious matters with you, okay?

238
00:32:25,234 --> 00:32:27,070
Just enjoy the wine.
[chuckles]

239
00:32:32,867 --> 00:32:35,578
How's the King? Is he in good health?

240
00:32:40,416 --> 00:32:41,960
He is growing up well.

241
00:32:42,335 --> 00:32:46,381
He may be young, but he's already finished
The Four Books and The Three Classics.

242
00:32:46,464 --> 00:32:49,425
He'll grow up to be a wise king, I'm sure.

243
00:32:52,512 --> 00:32:54,055
I'm doing my best.

244
00:32:55,181 --> 00:32:57,725
After all,
this is what His Highness wanted.

245
00:33:01,187 --> 00:33:02,230
[screams]

246
00:33:02,313 --> 00:33:04,857
[tense music]

247
00:33:23,710 --> 00:33:25,795
Tell me right now, can I trust you?

248
00:33:27,088 --> 00:33:28,631
Are you sure this child...

249
00:33:29,674 --> 00:33:31,426
is not sick with the disease?

250
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:33,428
I'm sure of it, sir.

251
00:33:34,303 --> 00:33:36,931
The monsters left bites
all over his hand and feet.

252
00:33:37,390 --> 00:33:38,808
I put him in water and saved him.

253
00:33:39,475 --> 00:33:41,394
I saw the worms come out of him myself.

254
00:33:41,811 --> 00:33:42,979
[Kim Sun] Do not spare him!

255
00:33:43,062 --> 00:33:46,441
That child is the legitimate heir
to the throne.

256
00:33:47,233 --> 00:33:49,235
He is the only threat to your rule.

257
00:33:49,861 --> 00:33:52,363
You'll bring chaos across the country.

258
00:33:55,366 --> 00:33:56,784
Two cannot rule.

259
00:33:56,868 --> 00:33:58,536
There can only be one.

260
00:33:58,870 --> 00:34:00,371
Just kill the boy at once.

261
00:34:05,501 --> 00:34:07,754
I'll accept that you're right
about one thing.

262
00:34:09,630 --> 00:34:11,215
Between the two of us,

263
00:34:12,759 --> 00:34:14,761
one of us will need to be put to death.

264
00:34:18,973 --> 00:34:20,016
That said...

265
00:34:23,561 --> 00:34:25,563
which of us truly deserves to die?

266
00:34:27,482 --> 00:34:30,234
He is a prince
and the only legitimate heir.

267
00:34:31,027 --> 00:34:32,070
And I...

268
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:36,032
I'm not even the Queen's son.

269
00:34:37,992 --> 00:34:40,411
I killed my father with my bare hands.

270
00:34:43,581 --> 00:34:45,917
If you must choose between the two of us,

271
00:34:49,837 --> 00:34:51,214
which one do we need more

272
00:34:51,297 --> 00:34:55,343
to rule this starving,
plague-ridden country torn apart by war?

273
00:34:57,261 --> 00:34:59,722
I ask you, which would you choose to live?

274
00:35:04,852 --> 00:35:06,896
-This child...
-[baby coos]

275
00:35:06,979 --> 00:35:09,565
...may be the only hope left
for our kingdom.

276
00:35:10,149 --> 00:35:11,818
The ones who intended to use him

277
00:35:11,901 --> 00:35:14,821
to seize power for themselves
have all been killed by now.

278
00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:18,324
So, please...

279
00:35:21,702 --> 00:35:23,246
guide this prince to rule...

280
00:35:24,288 --> 00:35:25,665
[breathing shakily]

281
00:35:25,748 --> 00:35:28,209
...so that he can become a wise
and fair king.

282
00:35:28,292 --> 00:35:29,877
[poignant music]

283
00:35:35,341 --> 00:35:36,592
[sighs]

284
00:35:41,973 --> 00:35:43,474
I trust you with this.

285
00:35:46,227 --> 00:35:47,770
And the ministers...

286
00:35:49,522 --> 00:35:51,607
who are virtuous and loyal to you.

287
00:35:59,157 --> 00:36:00,491
[sighs]

288
00:36:06,122 --> 00:36:07,039
We can't do this.

289
00:36:07,498 --> 00:36:08,666
What if that child...

290
00:36:09,458 --> 00:36:11,586
is not the descendant of the former king?

291
00:36:13,838 --> 00:36:14,964
He is.

292
00:36:17,091 --> 00:36:18,342
I assure you.

293
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:23,556
I am his brother
and he has the blood of a king.

294
00:36:26,058 --> 00:36:28,436
Please write 
that the war killed my father,

295
00:36:31,230 --> 00:36:34,025
as well as the Queen,
whom I called mother.

296
00:36:36,819 --> 00:36:38,362
And I was killed too.

297
00:36:41,324 --> 00:36:43,409
That is how the history should read.

298
00:36:46,787 --> 00:36:49,582
This is the gift that I offer this land...

299
00:36:52,293 --> 00:36:54,629
as a descendant of the royal blood.

300
00:38:02,989 --> 00:38:05,533
I wonder how His Highness is.

301
00:38:06,409 --> 00:38:07,410
I mean,

302
00:38:07,493 --> 00:38:10,705
he's got Seo-bi hanging around him,
so I'm sure he's well.

303
00:38:16,794 --> 00:38:17,920
[sighs]

304
00:38:21,090 --> 00:38:23,342
-What is that?
-It's a journal.

305
00:38:23,718 --> 00:38:25,469
It contains all of her notes
on the plague.

306
00:38:29,307 --> 00:38:30,599
[Beom-pal gasps]

307
00:38:31,684 --> 00:38:33,019
[Seo-bi] The plague began

308
00:38:33,102 --> 00:38:36,689
when a handful of dead
were revived with the resurrection plant.

309
00:38:36,772 --> 00:38:40,359
The eggs of the worms on the plant
seize control of the brain,

310
00:38:40,443 --> 00:38:42,194
thus raising the dead.

311
00:38:42,278 --> 00:38:45,281
The resurrected lose all ability
to reason,

312
00:38:45,364 --> 00:38:48,743
they feel no pain, and quickly develop
an insatiable hunger

313
00:38:48,826 --> 00:38:50,578
for human flesh and blood.

314
00:38:51,037 --> 00:38:52,705
A bite from these monsters

315
00:38:52,788 --> 00:38:55,708
transfers the worms
into the new host's bloodstream,

316
00:38:55,791 --> 00:38:57,668
but it does not transform them.

317
00:38:58,294 --> 00:39:01,047
However, it will lower
the body's temperature

318
00:39:01,130 --> 00:39:02,757
until they eventually die.

319
00:39:03,924 --> 00:39:07,720
The disease initially began spreading
at Jiyulheon in Dongnae.

320
00:39:08,012 --> 00:39:09,597
The people there cooked and ate the flesh

321
00:39:10,056 --> 00:39:13,392
of someone who had died
after being bitten by a plague victim.

322
00:39:13,809 --> 00:39:17,188
Those who ate that person
suffered convulsions before dying,

323
00:39:17,271 --> 00:39:19,023
and became monsters themselves.

324
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,817
After this particular interaction,

325
00:39:21,901 --> 00:39:25,279
all those who are bitten
immediately turned into mindless beasts.

326
00:39:26,322 --> 00:39:29,116
Not everyone who is bitten
turns into a monster.

327
00:39:30,284 --> 00:39:33,704
If a bite victim plunges their wound
in water before death,

328
00:39:33,788 --> 00:39:36,457
it will remove the worms
before they can reach the brain,

329
00:39:36,540 --> 00:39:38,501
thus eliminating the disease.

330
00:39:40,086 --> 00:39:44,340
In addition, newborns are immune
to the disease even if they are bitten

331
00:39:44,423 --> 00:39:46,384
because their brains
are not yet fully developed.

332
00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:54,141
The worms thrive in colder temperatures,
so they lie dormant in spring and summer.

333
00:39:54,850 --> 00:39:56,060
In autumn and winter,

334
00:39:56,143 --> 00:39:58,771
their active hours are limited
to when the sun is up.

335
00:39:59,146 --> 00:40:02,149
Then from the winter solstice
to the first day of spring,

336
00:40:02,233 --> 00:40:05,111
the monsters remain active
throughout the day and night.

337
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:07,446
But in all my research,

338
00:40:07,530 --> 00:40:10,241
I still have not found
the answer to one question.

339
00:40:10,658 --> 00:40:14,453
It is a certainty to me
that the worms favor cold temperatures,

340
00:40:14,537 --> 00:40:18,124
but for some reason,
extreme heat causes them to thrive.

341
00:40:18,541 --> 00:40:20,126
and spread even more viciously.

342
00:40:20,626 --> 00:40:21,961
There must be a secret.

343
00:40:22,044 --> 00:40:24,755
Something still hidden
behind the resurrection plant.

344
00:40:27,758 --> 00:40:31,011
Seo-bi is still trying to determine
what causes the disease?

345
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:32,721
[gasps]

346
00:40:35,015 --> 00:40:36,892
The plague was wiped out seven years ago.

347
00:40:36,976 --> 00:40:38,561
No, not completely.

348
00:40:39,854 --> 00:40:41,689
The plant doesn't just grow in Sangju.

349
00:40:42,189 --> 00:40:43,649
It has also been found elsewhere.

350
00:40:43,732 --> 00:40:46,360
-In which region?
-Well, there's been many.

351
00:40:46,944 --> 00:40:50,823
Gyeongsang, the Three Provinces,
Gyeonggi, Gangwon, and Hwanghae.

352
00:40:50,906 --> 00:40:53,409
We found the resurrection plant
all over the country.

353
00:40:53,492 --> 00:40:54,869
RESURRECTION PLANT

354
00:40:54,952 --> 00:40:56,245
[foreboding music]

355
00:41:26,567 --> 00:41:28,277
This is the resurrection plant.

356
00:41:31,822 --> 00:41:33,199
[breathing anxiously]

357
00:41:35,701 --> 00:41:36,785
[Yeong-sin] My lord!

358
00:41:38,245 --> 00:41:39,205
[gasps]

359
00:41:46,128 --> 00:41:48,380
I brought the elder and his son
from the nearby village.

360
00:41:50,633 --> 00:41:51,717
These plants...

361
00:41:52,551 --> 00:41:54,136
when did they start growing here?

362
00:41:54,595 --> 00:41:55,930
Oh, yes.

363
00:41:56,639 --> 00:41:57,681
Well...

364
00:41:59,058 --> 00:42:00,976
we planted these a while ago.

365
00:42:01,810 --> 00:42:03,229
What do you mean by that?

366
00:42:03,312 --> 00:42:04,438
You planted these?

367
00:42:05,606 --> 00:42:07,191
Who exactly gave you the seeds?

368
00:42:07,608 --> 00:42:08,609
Well...

369
00:42:09,443 --> 00:42:12,112
my son here followed a merchant to China

370
00:42:12,613 --> 00:42:14,156
to earn some money.

371
00:42:15,282 --> 00:42:17,618
He got those plants near the Yalu River.

372
00:42:17,701 --> 00:42:20,829
We planted them,
thinking we can make money off of them.

373
00:42:22,248 --> 00:42:23,165
Is that true?

374
00:42:23,582 --> 00:42:24,917
Yes, my lord.

375
00:42:25,417 --> 00:42:27,503
I was told it brings back the dead.

376
00:42:27,795 --> 00:42:29,964
I thought I could make money off it.

377
00:42:30,297 --> 00:42:32,424
I couldn't sell it
because no one believed me,

378
00:42:32,508 --> 00:42:33,592
so I just left them.

379
00:42:36,929 --> 00:42:39,014
[foreboding music]

380
00:42:44,478 --> 00:42:46,855
Are you certain someone sold that plant
to those men?

381
00:42:47,273 --> 00:42:48,524
Yes, I'm sure.

382
00:42:49,191 --> 00:42:51,068
He even knew exactly what to do
with the plant

383
00:42:51,151 --> 00:42:52,736
to bring the dead back to life.

384
00:42:53,070 --> 00:42:55,781
Whoever it was gave him instructions.

385
00:42:56,907 --> 00:42:58,033
[sighs]

386
00:42:59,493 --> 00:43:01,370
Who would sell such a dangerous thing?

387
00:43:01,453 --> 00:43:02,621
Good question.

388
00:43:02,705 --> 00:43:05,916
His Highness thought I should come here
and let you know about this matter.

389
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,751
And I was told to give this journal to you

390
00:43:08,168 --> 00:43:09,628
in case there's another outbreak.

391
00:43:11,547 --> 00:43:14,216
Where is His Highness? Where is he going?

392
00:43:14,842 --> 00:43:16,719
He's gone to the Northern Region...

393
00:43:19,179 --> 00:43:21,140
to track down the person behind this.

394
00:43:21,223 --> 00:43:23,183
[ominous music]

395
00:43:23,267 --> 00:43:24,602
HWANGHAE PROVINCE

396
00:43:25,519 --> 00:43:26,562
HAMGYONG PROVINCE

397
00:43:41,243 --> 00:43:43,078
-Where is it?
-Here, sir.

398
00:43:43,495 --> 00:43:46,707
Everything has been left behind,
but the people seem to have vanished.

399
00:43:52,630 --> 00:43:55,090
[eerie music]

400
00:44:21,742 --> 00:44:22,910
[object cracks]

401
00:44:59,863 --> 00:45:00,906
I found the plant.

402
00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:03,909
[jingling]

403
00:45:08,247 --> 00:45:09,832
"There must be a secret.

404
00:45:11,375 --> 00:45:15,045
Something still hidden
behind the resurrection plant."

405
00:45:16,422 --> 00:45:18,424
[ominous music]

406
00:45:42,906 --> 00:45:46,118
[jingling]

407
00:45:50,998 --> 00:45:53,083
[jingling continues]

408
00:45:59,882 --> 00:46:00,883
[breathing anxiously]

409
00:46:06,013 --> 00:46:07,931
[infected screeching, snarling]

410
00:46:29,745 --> 00:46:33,248
[bells jingling]

411
00:46:35,125 --> 00:46:37,002
[distant snarling]

412
00:46:38,086 --> 00:46:40,672
[bells jingling]
