Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:48,798 --> 00:00:50,216
It's not over yet.
2
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:03,897
Now.
3
00:01:06,524 --> 00:01:08,318
Let us make a deal with each other.
4
00:01:11,321 --> 00:01:14,532
I will give you half of my yang energy,
and in return…
5
00:01:16,576 --> 00:01:18,411
Your help is all I require.
6
00:02:10,004 --> 00:02:11,256
Shit.
7
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,631
At this rate, your soul will be destroyed.
8
00:02:56,342 --> 00:02:58,636
If you reveal your identity now,
9
00:02:59,971 --> 00:03:02,223
I will let you go to the afterlife.
10
00:03:50,188 --> 00:03:52,023
If I lose all my yang energy,
11
00:03:53,441 --> 00:03:54,901
then I will die too.
12
00:05:17,692 --> 00:05:19,027
I told you not to…
13
00:05:31,622 --> 00:05:36,544
THE EAST PALACE
14
00:05:43,092 --> 00:05:44,177
Are you all right?
15
00:05:47,138 --> 00:05:48,973
The Prince was unharmed at least.
16
00:05:50,058 --> 00:05:52,226
You were the one who saved him,
were you not?
17
00:05:52,810 --> 00:05:56,439
What's important is,
why did you pull the rope?
18
00:05:58,024 --> 00:05:59,544
Because I heard the bell stop ringing,
19
00:05:59,609 --> 00:06:02,236
and I thought that you might
be in danger or something.
20
00:06:03,654 --> 00:06:04,654
Was I interrupting?
21
00:06:05,198 --> 00:06:07,033
I thought I told you loud and clear before
22
00:06:07,116 --> 00:06:08,993
to make sure
that you do not pull the rope.
23
00:06:09,077 --> 00:06:10,411
You never listen to anything.
24
00:06:12,914 --> 00:06:14,082
You purged it?
25
00:06:14,582 --> 00:06:15,833
The pond spirit?
26
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,254
All I could do was make it weak for now.
27
00:06:21,631 --> 00:06:24,050
For a while, at least,
it will not be able to move.
28
00:06:34,977 --> 00:06:35,977
What's that look for?
29
00:06:36,020 --> 00:06:37,020
I…
30
00:06:38,439 --> 00:06:42,693
I just regret misjudging your abilities,
and I took you for a… layabout.
31
00:06:44,153 --> 00:06:46,913
I thought you were irredeemable
and only cared about your own pleasure
32
00:06:46,948 --> 00:06:50,118
and were someone who had no respect
for other humans, other than,
33
00:06:51,577 --> 00:06:52,995
well, himself.
34
00:06:55,456 --> 00:06:57,333
I mean, you're not wrong.
35
00:06:57,417 --> 00:07:00,628
But still, that does not
sit particularly right with me.
36
00:07:01,504 --> 00:07:07,552
His Majesty… is going to thank you
for what you did to save Prince Yeongan.
37
00:07:08,177 --> 00:07:11,514
Then put in a good word with your father
so I may leave, will you?
38
00:07:16,727 --> 00:07:18,312
How do you know about that?
39
00:07:19,730 --> 00:07:22,233
-How long have you known?
-From the moment I saw you.
40
00:07:23,651 --> 00:07:26,988
Well, I wondered who His Majesty
would send to help in secret.
41
00:07:27,071 --> 00:07:29,311
And there you were,
with such delicate hands for a woman.
42
00:07:29,866 --> 00:07:32,493
Are you all right?
43
00:07:34,328 --> 00:07:36,873
Not to mention,
you are a spitting image of the man.
44
00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:37,999
Huh?
45
00:07:38,082 --> 00:07:39,082
You're strong-willed.
46
00:07:39,917 --> 00:07:43,379
And your… your… your stubborn look
says it all.
47
00:07:44,797 --> 00:07:47,592
Wait, is that why
you told me to show my blood?
48
00:07:48,843 --> 00:07:51,679
The royal bloodline
is why the spirit held a grudge.
49
00:07:51,762 --> 00:07:52,930
You used me as bait?
50
00:07:53,014 --> 00:07:56,350
The blood was used for a way to draw
the pond spirit's attention elsewhere.
51
00:07:56,434 --> 00:07:59,270
I can see now
that His Majesty chose the right person.
52
00:08:07,653 --> 00:08:09,197
And speaking of that…
53
00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:18,581
Let's help each other,
without His Majesty's knowing about it.
54
00:08:23,294 --> 00:08:24,294
Here.
55
00:08:29,717 --> 00:08:33,346
The truth is, I'm allowed
to stay here under close supervision
56
00:08:33,846 --> 00:08:35,556
while the spirit is being dealt with.
57
00:08:36,641 --> 00:08:37,641
So,
58
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:41,020
buy me time
to stay here a little bit longer.
59
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:44,690
And what exactly do you plan to do?
60
00:08:45,399 --> 00:08:46,943
I am going to kill someone
61
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:48,903
here in the palace.
62
00:08:49,904 --> 00:08:50,905
Your Majesty.
63
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:54,492
A child who once served
the late Crown Prince
64
00:08:55,076 --> 00:08:57,245
has requested an audience with you.
65
00:09:01,123 --> 00:09:04,168
He claims to know about the spirit
66
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:07,171
and the Crown Prince.
67
00:09:11,300 --> 00:09:12,552
He can enter.
68
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:28,234
All right.
69
00:09:28,317 --> 00:09:29,735
So then,
70
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:32,989
do you have something to say?
71
00:10:07,106 --> 00:10:08,649
You are still young.
72
00:10:10,568 --> 00:10:12,695
Yet you are quite courageous.
73
00:10:20,703 --> 00:10:22,121
Yes, right here.
74
00:10:51,192 --> 00:10:54,403
Why should I become your ally
without His Majesty's knowledge?
75
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:57,198
Because those
who know the palace's secrets
76
00:10:57,281 --> 00:10:59,575
are not permitted
to leave this place alive.
77
00:11:00,576 --> 00:11:02,411
So if I help you with your task,
78
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:04,872
you will let me leave
the palace alive after I do?
79
00:11:06,957 --> 00:11:08,084
Hmm…
80
00:11:28,938 --> 00:11:31,065
The bell though. How did you hear it?
81
00:11:34,568 --> 00:11:37,738
I have a gift as well.
It's rather similar to your own.
82
00:12:12,231 --> 00:12:14,400
Mother!
83
00:12:14,483 --> 00:12:16,485
Are you all right?
84
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:19,655
Did you see something inside?
85
00:12:20,364 --> 00:12:22,199
Oh my.
86
00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:24,660
And what do you think
you two are doing here?
87
00:12:26,328 --> 00:12:27,705
"The pond spirit."
88
00:12:28,706 --> 00:12:31,792
"The serpent's shed skin
killed the dragon's child."
89
00:12:32,501 --> 00:12:34,503
Those were the words
that were spoken by a spirit
90
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:36,589
once trapped there
when I was a young girl.
91
00:12:36,672 --> 00:12:39,008
The dragon's child refers
to the King's son.
92
00:12:39,091 --> 00:12:42,970
And the shed skin of the serpent
is the pond spirit, I would gather.
93
00:12:43,554 --> 00:12:44,554
What are you on about?
94
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:46,037
If we look into the salt storehouse,
95
00:12:46,098 --> 00:12:48,309
we can learn information
surrounding the spirit.
96
00:12:51,937 --> 00:12:54,577
-Don't tell me that the reason...
-That's not yours to worry about.
97
00:12:57,818 --> 00:13:01,197
For now,
you must investigate the pond spirit.
98
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,493
So anyway, you were cast out of the palace
for hearing ghosts, huh?
99
00:13:05,576 --> 00:13:09,663
Even though you're a princess,
you have the gifts of a shaman.
100
00:13:10,247 --> 00:13:13,584
What happened when you were young
that led you to hear voices?
101
00:13:13,667 --> 00:13:15,729
How did you grow up
that you dig into people's hearts
102
00:13:15,753 --> 00:13:17,838
with every word you seem to say?
103
00:13:19,673 --> 00:13:22,468
Wow, you're getting all worked up
over nothing.
104
00:13:22,551 --> 00:13:23,552
Nothing?
105
00:13:27,097 --> 00:13:30,142
You truly do not know how
to consider other people's feelings.
106
00:13:30,226 --> 00:13:32,478
You must be disliked
by your friends and family.
107
00:13:32,561 --> 00:13:35,147
I have neither to speak of. I'm an orphan.
108
00:13:35,231 --> 00:13:36,231
Oh.
109
00:13:38,150 --> 00:13:39,819
And you are one to talk.
110
00:13:40,319 --> 00:13:42,321
Do you have any friends? Huh?
111
00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:45,759
Are all royalty born annoying,
because maybe...
112
00:13:45,783 --> 00:13:46,951
That is enough!
113
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:50,704
You must hurry up
and investigate the salt storehouse.
114
00:13:54,875 --> 00:13:58,379
Seriously, this pond spirit…
115
00:13:59,630 --> 00:14:01,215
Hold on.
116
00:14:04,301 --> 00:14:05,678
Don't tell me…
117
00:14:12,768 --> 00:14:13,978
Oh…
118
00:14:14,061 --> 00:14:15,187
Can it be?
119
00:14:15,688 --> 00:14:17,690
Why are you going there? What is it?
120
00:14:17,773 --> 00:14:19,316
-No way.
-What…
121
00:14:19,817 --> 00:14:22,027
-Wait.
-Is there something there?
122
00:14:27,658 --> 00:14:29,660
I was saving this for later.
123
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:34,874
-What are you doing?
-It really is here.
124
00:14:34,957 --> 00:14:36,250
-A gwi-mae.
-It is?
125
00:14:36,333 --> 00:14:37,813
I need to figure out what kind it is.
126
00:14:39,628 --> 00:14:41,108
Where did you get the rice cake from?
127
00:14:41,672 --> 00:14:43,032
-Wait, why are you throwing...
-Sh!
128
00:14:44,258 --> 00:14:46,468
Keep it down for a moment. Huh?
129
00:14:58,355 --> 00:15:00,774
This can't be happening.
130
00:15:00,858 --> 00:15:02,985
-No.
-What do you see?
131
00:15:06,447 --> 00:15:08,365
-Hey…
-We need to go immediately.
132
00:15:09,450 --> 00:15:10,450
Follow me.
133
00:15:11,493 --> 00:15:12,328
Come on!
134
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:15,122
But… we need to check…
135
00:15:23,505 --> 00:15:26,884
You said it was a gwi-mae,
and that it is bound to one place.
136
00:15:27,426 --> 00:15:28,802
-We should be fine.
-Hang on.
137
00:15:28,886 --> 00:15:29,887
Just… wait a minute!
138
00:15:32,514 --> 00:15:35,225
That one… is a special one.
139
00:15:35,309 --> 00:15:36,810
It's called a ggeomeoksali.
140
00:15:36,894 --> 00:15:39,813
It latches onto the living, not a place,
and drains their yang energy.
141
00:15:39,897 --> 00:15:41,977
-And those who have been affected by it…
-Their yang…
142
00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:44,234
…will die after witnessing terror.
143
00:15:45,861 --> 00:15:47,446
A truly terrifying creature.
144
00:15:47,529 --> 00:15:48,948
But…
145
00:15:49,823 --> 00:15:53,035
I understand,
so stop pushing. Wait.
146
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:56,372
Let me show you where you will be staying.
147
00:15:56,455 --> 00:15:59,583
His Majesty had your quarters changed
because you saved Prince Yeongan.
148
00:16:00,626 --> 00:16:02,628
Why are you telling me this now?
149
00:16:03,379 --> 00:16:05,130
-Well…
-Where is it?
150
00:16:07,549 --> 00:16:09,134
Over there. That way.
151
00:16:10,260 --> 00:16:11,553
Quickly.
152
00:16:11,637 --> 00:16:14,640
-Come on.
-I am going. I am!
153
00:16:18,018 --> 00:16:19,520
Good grief.
154
00:16:19,603 --> 00:16:21,689
This is truly unbelievable.
155
00:16:23,273 --> 00:16:24,316
Goodness.
156
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,880
What are you staring at?
157
00:16:25,943 --> 00:16:29,196
I was a fool to trust him.
My goodness, seriously. Ugh.
158
00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:31,657
So, more comfortable lodging?
159
00:16:35,744 --> 00:16:38,064
It's just the room
across from the previous one.
160
00:16:43,544 --> 00:16:44,461
Oh.
161
00:16:44,545 --> 00:16:45,963
It followed us all the way here.
162
00:16:50,259 --> 00:16:52,469
-The ggeomeoksali.
-What?
163
00:16:54,096 --> 00:16:55,264
Ggeomeoksali.
164
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,061
No.
165
00:17:02,604 --> 00:17:04,898
That bastard is as clingy
as sticky rice cakes.
166
00:17:07,526 --> 00:17:09,286
What has made you act like that?
167
00:17:12,990 --> 00:17:15,200
There is nothing here.
168
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:23,374
Anyway…
169
00:17:25,377 --> 00:17:28,213
Looks as if His Majesty is pleased
with how you handled it.
170
00:17:28,881 --> 00:17:30,049
That is a relief.
171
00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:31,759
But just temporary.
172
00:17:32,634 --> 00:17:34,678
If the pond spirit shows itself again,
173
00:17:35,429 --> 00:17:37,598
it is certain
that Prince Yeongan will soon die.
174
00:17:43,645 --> 00:17:45,856
You must stay strong,
Prince Yeongan.
175
00:17:48,067 --> 00:17:49,067
Give it to me.
176
00:17:51,278 --> 00:17:52,946
Please come back to us.
177
00:18:02,623 --> 00:18:05,709
Your Majesty,
now that even the last remaining prince,
178
00:18:05,793 --> 00:18:07,336
Yeongan, lies so ill,
179
00:18:07,419 --> 00:18:10,464
the succession of this realm
is gravely imperiled.
180
00:18:10,547 --> 00:18:13,258
Rumors surrounding
the East Palace continue to circulate,
181
00:18:13,342 --> 00:18:15,844
shaking the very foundations
of the nation.
182
00:18:15,928 --> 00:18:19,223
The nation's foundations
are shaken, you say?
183
00:18:19,306 --> 00:18:21,475
You should mind the words you choose.
184
00:18:21,558 --> 00:18:23,477
So long as I draw breath,
185
00:18:23,977 --> 00:18:27,648
this great nation's foundations
will not be shaken.
186
00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:31,944
Your Majesty,
Prince Iksang has arrived.
187
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:35,999
Prince Iksang?
What's he doing here?
188
00:18:36,031 --> 00:18:37,574
Greetings, my friends.
189
00:18:37,658 --> 00:18:39,576
Have you had your meal today?
190
00:18:42,621 --> 00:18:44,957
You are looking younger than ever, Aunt.
191
00:18:46,583 --> 00:18:50,254
I see you still prefer to address me so,
Prince Iksang.
192
00:18:51,463 --> 00:18:53,382
How have you fared as of late?
193
00:18:53,465 --> 00:18:56,051
I have returned from a tiger hunt
in Hobyeong Valley.
194
00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:58,178
I also lingered
at the Nine Valleys of Hwayang,
195
00:18:58,262 --> 00:18:59,721
indulging in idle pleasures.
196
00:19:00,889 --> 00:19:02,182
If I may say so,
197
00:19:02,266 --> 00:19:04,935
you should not remain confined
to the palace walls.
198
00:19:05,018 --> 00:19:07,062
A period of rest outside is deserved.
199
00:19:07,646 --> 00:19:09,231
I am not sure.
200
00:19:10,357 --> 00:19:13,110
I entered these walls
as Crown Princess at age 11.
201
00:19:13,193 --> 00:19:15,904
I have never once set foot
beyond its gates.
202
00:19:16,780 --> 00:19:20,492
This palace is where I shall stay
until the day I die.
203
00:19:22,327 --> 00:19:23,871
You remain unchanged.
204
00:19:23,954 --> 00:19:26,123
So why did you wish to see me again?
205
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:33,088
And how is your son?
206
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:44,766
He is doing well.
207
00:19:46,685 --> 00:19:49,980
Unlike his father,
he delights in scholarly pursuits.
208
00:19:50,063 --> 00:19:53,901
Even so,
a collateral figure of the royal family
209
00:19:53,984 --> 00:19:55,485
is barred from holding office.
210
00:19:56,153 --> 00:19:59,156
A small stream
cut off from the main current
211
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:02,034
cannot easily spread.
212
00:20:02,117 --> 00:20:07,372
However, should that main river grow foul
and become dry…
213
00:20:10,667 --> 00:20:14,671
It should be cut away,
making a new channel flow in place of it.
214
00:20:16,048 --> 00:20:19,092
How dare a feng shui master like you
venture to seek out an audience
215
00:20:19,176 --> 00:20:21,345
with Her Majesty so lightly!
216
00:20:21,428 --> 00:20:22,512
Get out at once.
217
00:20:22,596 --> 00:20:25,599
He entered the palace
under His Majesty's command.
218
00:20:25,682 --> 00:20:28,185
He promptly arrived
with important information
219
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:31,188
and at the will of His Majesty.
220
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:34,233
Wait here.
221
00:20:42,074 --> 00:20:44,493
She sure is damn prickly, that woman.
222
00:20:46,954 --> 00:20:49,498
She stands above
all the ladies of the palace.
223
00:20:49,581 --> 00:20:51,875
You suppose
an audience with her comes easy?
224
00:21:00,467 --> 00:21:01,885
I hear a noise coming close.
225
00:21:19,152 --> 00:21:21,613
This place is crawling with yin.
226
00:21:39,423 --> 00:21:40,924
Her Majesty is still unavailable.
227
00:21:41,008 --> 00:21:42,592
You should leave.
228
00:21:46,179 --> 00:21:47,859
Oh,
what a mighty shame that is.
229
00:21:47,889 --> 00:21:51,727
You see, I had something to tell her
about the pond spirit.
230
00:21:51,810 --> 00:21:54,438
Pardon? The pond spirit, you say?
231
00:21:56,857 --> 00:21:59,026
Then please convey this one message.
232
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:04,531
Tell her she should start to think about
233
00:22:04,614 --> 00:22:07,409
who might rule next
once the Crown Prince is dead.
234
00:22:07,993 --> 00:22:08,993
What?
235
00:22:09,619 --> 00:22:10,704
Who might be next?
236
00:22:16,001 --> 00:22:17,419
What does he mean?
237
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:26,928
It was a waste to come here.
238
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:30,390
Trying to meet with the Queen Dowager.
239
00:22:30,474 --> 00:22:32,559
No, there was a gain.
240
00:22:32,642 --> 00:22:34,186
A gain? What do you mean?
241
00:22:35,604 --> 00:22:37,147
Oh. Are you…
242
00:22:46,782 --> 00:22:48,784
She lives in a residence that's private.
243
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:51,036
Why is she in the palace wandering?
244
00:22:54,623 --> 00:22:55,832
Who was that?
245
00:22:55,916 --> 00:22:57,042
You know each other?
246
00:22:57,125 --> 00:22:59,252
She is my grandmother.
247
00:22:59,336 --> 00:23:01,213
The birth mother of His Majesty.
248
00:23:06,676 --> 00:23:08,637
Is that why relations
between the Queen Dowager
249
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:09,805
and the King are strained?
250
00:23:10,514 --> 00:23:11,765
They're not blood-related?
251
00:23:14,059 --> 00:23:15,102
Or rather,
252
00:23:16,186 --> 00:23:18,438
because the King
was the child of a concubine.
253
00:23:21,817 --> 00:23:23,193
Thirty years ago,
254
00:23:24,194 --> 00:23:28,907
all of His Majesty's brothers died
for reasons that were never made clear.
255
00:23:31,034 --> 00:23:33,620
He alone survived among
the late King's sons
256
00:23:33,703 --> 00:23:34,955
and was named Crown Prince,
257
00:23:35,038 --> 00:23:37,207
but because the lowborn blood
of a court lady
258
00:23:37,290 --> 00:23:39,084
was said to run in his veins,
259
00:23:39,167 --> 00:23:41,962
he was never fully acknowledged
as the Crown Prince.
260
00:23:42,462 --> 00:23:45,298
Not even now,
after he ascended to the throne.
261
00:23:57,561 --> 00:23:59,104
Your Majesty,
262
00:23:59,187 --> 00:24:01,481
for the sake of this country
and its people,
263
00:24:01,565 --> 00:24:04,192
a new Crown Prince must be appointed.
264
00:24:04,276 --> 00:24:05,861
This, I am aware of.
265
00:24:06,361 --> 00:24:10,824
However, Prince Yeongan's health
has yet to fully recover.
266
00:24:10,907 --> 00:24:14,035
That is precisely why
we are mentioning this, Your Majesty.
267
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,037
It is imperative that measures be taken.
268
00:24:17,831 --> 00:24:19,583
What kind of measures?
269
00:24:19,666 --> 00:24:22,502
You must move forth
and select one of the royal kin
270
00:24:22,586 --> 00:24:25,255
and name him your new Crown Prince,
Your Majesty.
271
00:24:26,131 --> 00:24:28,133
Grant your royal assent.
272
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,303
Grant your royal assent.
273
00:24:34,097 --> 00:24:37,225
Do all of you believe the same thing?
274
00:24:39,019 --> 00:24:40,520
That death will soon take my son?
275
00:24:40,604 --> 00:24:42,105
Uh…
276
00:24:42,189 --> 00:24:44,649
How could we harbor such irreverence?
277
00:24:44,733 --> 00:24:46,693
That is not what we imply or intend,
Your Majesty.
278
00:24:46,735 --> 00:24:48,153
That is not what you imply?!
279
00:24:50,363 --> 00:24:52,282
Then whose intention is it?
280
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:57,996
Is it the Queen Dowager's intention?
281
00:25:01,374 --> 00:25:04,211
I am deeply disappointed in you.
282
00:25:05,462 --> 00:25:08,215
I went above and beyond
to get you in here,
283
00:25:08,298 --> 00:25:12,302
yet you failed to command a single spirit
and, instead, restored his health.
284
00:25:13,303 --> 00:25:15,931
I did not drive away the spirit.
285
00:25:17,182 --> 00:25:20,060
I only sought to draw the spirit
toward the Prince.
286
00:25:20,143 --> 00:25:23,104
Then was there another
who drove the spirit away?
287
00:25:23,188 --> 00:25:25,941
The feng shui master the King brought in
is rather suspicious.
288
00:25:26,024 --> 00:25:29,069
The King?
He brought in a master of feng shui?
289
00:25:37,577 --> 00:25:40,038
I want you to keep him under close watch.
290
00:25:40,121 --> 00:25:43,667
If he truly is the one helping
to destroy spirits…
291
00:25:46,002 --> 00:25:47,546
He will die at our hands.
292
00:25:48,171 --> 00:25:50,257
The more spirits run rampant
within the palace,
293
00:25:50,340 --> 00:25:52,300
the further the King
is driven into a corner.
294
00:25:52,884 --> 00:25:54,511
And that serves me well.
295
00:25:56,054 --> 00:25:58,848
Prince Iksang
was at the Queen Dowager's residence?
296
00:26:02,644 --> 00:26:05,438
My, that is truly impressive.
297
00:26:13,738 --> 00:26:18,118
So she plans
to alter the royal bloodline after all?
298
00:26:19,661 --> 00:26:23,707
She intends to sever the curse
that has endured for 30 years
299
00:26:24,332 --> 00:26:26,126
and begin anew.
300
00:26:28,753 --> 00:26:30,922
But it will not be so easy.
301
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:37,679
And for someone who has been bound by sin,
302
00:26:38,221 --> 00:26:41,141
does she truly believe she can escape it?
303
00:27:13,923 --> 00:27:15,091
You all right?
304
00:27:16,384 --> 00:27:17,802
You okay?
305
00:27:17,886 --> 00:27:20,221
What's wrong with you?
306
00:27:24,184 --> 00:27:25,769
Sorry, who are you?
307
00:27:25,852 --> 00:27:28,355
Ji-yul, a sanggaksi
serving in the Saenggwabang.
308
00:27:28,438 --> 00:27:31,024
I will be sharing this chamber with you
starting today.
309
00:27:31,107 --> 00:27:32,984
Huh? That cannot be possible.
310
00:27:33,068 --> 00:27:34,068
There.
311
00:27:34,819 --> 00:27:38,823
Um… I was told
I would have my own quarters.
312
00:27:38,907 --> 00:27:41,368
-I have never shared a chamber.
-What's this?
313
00:27:41,451 --> 00:27:43,495
This must be
rather uncomfortable for you, so...
314
00:27:43,578 --> 00:27:44,871
Not at all.
315
00:27:45,372 --> 00:27:49,584
Before I entered the palace,
I shared a room with nine of my family.
316
00:27:51,711 --> 00:27:52,629
Ah.
317
00:27:59,010 --> 00:28:01,096
What might all that fuss be about?
318
00:28:01,179 --> 00:28:03,973
What? Oh my. You haven't heard about it?
319
00:28:04,057 --> 00:28:06,685
A spirit was seen
at the Queen Dowager's quarters.
320
00:28:06,768 --> 00:28:07,852
A spirit, really?
321
00:28:07,936 --> 00:28:11,606
Yes. Ever since I entered the palace,
a lot of incidents have happened.
322
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:13,690
I heard a spirit showed up
at the Saenggwabang too.
323
00:28:13,733 --> 00:28:14,733
Hang on.
324
00:28:15,068 --> 00:28:17,529
Tell me all that you have heard
about the spirits.
325
00:28:17,612 --> 00:28:20,573
Gosh, I'm so cold.
326
00:28:36,423 --> 00:28:38,466
Damn it! Jeez.
327
00:28:41,094 --> 00:28:42,094
What the…
328
00:28:42,595 --> 00:28:44,222
When did you get in here?
329
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,517
Hey. Stop that.
330
00:28:48,893 --> 00:28:50,937
Stop coming closer!
331
00:28:51,020 --> 00:28:52,522
Who said you could act all cute?
332
00:28:53,898 --> 00:28:56,735
Why? Why pick on me? Huh?
333
00:28:56,818 --> 00:28:57,986
Why?
334
00:28:59,446 --> 00:29:02,258
Apparently, a salt storehouse spirit
is in the Queen Dowager's quarters.
335
00:29:03,575 --> 00:29:04,617
You mean right now?
336
00:29:04,701 --> 00:29:07,162
We must go.
We need to investigate immediately.
337
00:29:07,829 --> 00:29:10,290
Sure. I cannot wait to get out of here.
338
00:29:10,915 --> 00:29:12,167
What?
339
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:36,775
What is it?
340
00:29:38,359 --> 00:29:39,778
Do you hear something?
341
00:29:41,237 --> 00:29:43,323
I can't make it out.
It's too subtle for me to hear.
342
00:29:43,406 --> 00:29:44,991
Too faint to understand.
343
00:29:46,284 --> 00:29:47,327
Hmm.
344
00:29:51,372 --> 00:29:53,416
I should step inside to hear better.
345
00:30:04,052 --> 00:30:05,845
Do you really have to go in alone?
346
00:30:11,518 --> 00:30:12,519
I will be fine.
347
00:30:13,019 --> 00:30:15,313
Okay, then I will wait out here for you.
348
00:31:11,077 --> 00:31:12,704
Say what you need to say.
349
00:31:13,663 --> 00:31:15,957
Tell me what happened. Please say it.
350
00:31:42,108 --> 00:31:45,695
The serpent's shed skin
killed the dragon's child.
351
00:31:47,530 --> 00:31:51,117
"The serpent's shed skin
killed the dragon's child."
352
00:31:51,743 --> 00:31:54,162
Tell me who wrote these words.
353
00:31:55,246 --> 00:31:58,958
The dragon's child refers
to the late Crown Prince.
354
00:31:59,792 --> 00:32:02,795
Her Majesty, the Queen,
was born in the Year of the Snake.
355
00:32:02,879 --> 00:32:06,049
So, that implies
that the Crown Prince died
356
00:32:06,132 --> 00:32:07,884
because of Her Majesty.
357
00:32:07,967 --> 00:32:12,472
It seems one of you wenches
has insulted Her Majesty's house.
358
00:32:14,265 --> 00:32:16,559
You will starve in here until you confess.
359
00:32:16,643 --> 00:32:19,270
Not even a drop of water will be given.
360
00:33:01,479 --> 00:33:03,564
They burned to death whilst in there?
361
00:33:07,527 --> 00:33:10,613
Gather the court ladies' bones in jars
and bury the lot.
362
00:33:11,322 --> 00:33:14,909
Their vengeful spirits must be sealed
so they cannot harm the royal house.
363
00:33:14,993 --> 00:33:15,994
Yes, Your Majesty.
364
00:33:34,762 --> 00:33:36,931
Have you had the chance yet
365
00:33:37,015 --> 00:33:39,976
to look into who broke the sealed jars?
366
00:33:41,060 --> 00:33:42,645
I have looked into it,
367
00:33:43,146 --> 00:33:46,649
but I could not find the person
who entered the salt storehouse.
368
00:33:48,943 --> 00:33:51,195
This must have been done by someone
369
00:33:51,779 --> 00:33:54,157
who knows exactly what these jars are.
370
00:33:55,324 --> 00:33:58,536
But are we not the only ones in the palace
who know of those jars?
371
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:03,875
This must be an aimed attack against me,
but who would do that?
372
00:34:06,753 --> 00:34:07,795
Yes.
373
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,299
I know of a person who would do it.
374
00:34:11,799 --> 00:34:13,801
Who is it?
375
00:34:14,594 --> 00:34:18,723
I can see clearly how my fear of spirits
momentarily clouded my sight.
376
00:34:18,806 --> 00:34:20,975
Why did I not see it coming
sooner than this?
377
00:34:21,642 --> 00:34:24,729
All of this trouble began
after I met with Prince Iksang.
378
00:34:24,812 --> 00:34:27,774
Prince Yeongan
has overcome the crisis, Your Majesty.
379
00:34:27,857 --> 00:34:31,527
Therefore, I believe now is the time
for you to appoint the Crown Prince.
380
00:34:31,611 --> 00:34:34,781
His Majesty
saw straight through my heart.
381
00:34:34,864 --> 00:34:37,700
He is trying to stop me,
no matter the cost.
382
00:34:37,784 --> 00:34:40,620
I know that he means to oppose me
with wielding spirits.
383
00:34:40,703 --> 00:34:44,123
So if I'm right, it would seem
the King wants me dead tonight!
384
00:34:48,044 --> 00:34:50,546
But I will not let that happen.
385
00:34:50,630 --> 00:34:53,966
I will not die
at the hands of mere spirits.
386
00:34:54,467 --> 00:34:56,135
Night will soon fall.
387
00:34:56,219 --> 00:34:57,845
Court ladies are not to sleep tonight.
388
00:34:57,929 --> 00:35:01,474
They will all protect me
until daylight hours come!
389
00:35:02,558 --> 00:35:05,520
So, for 30 years,
the pond spirit
390
00:35:05,603 --> 00:35:08,356
has been killing the princes
in the East Palace.
391
00:35:09,107 --> 00:35:12,235
And the court ladies wrote
that the princes were dying
392
00:35:12,318 --> 00:35:13,986
because of the Queen Dowager?
393
00:35:14,070 --> 00:35:15,571
It was not the court ladies' doing.
394
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,074
They were falsely accused
and put to death.
395
00:35:19,575 --> 00:35:23,246
What is certain is that the pond spirit
is connected to the Queen Dowager.
396
00:35:25,164 --> 00:35:26,541
Still, thanks to your ability,
397
00:35:26,624 --> 00:35:29,252
I was able to learn why the court ladies
became won-gwi.
398
00:35:30,837 --> 00:35:32,505
I could not have done it alone.
399
00:35:33,673 --> 00:35:34,757
You did good work.
400
00:35:37,385 --> 00:35:38,553
You are the first person
401
00:35:39,595 --> 00:35:42,265
to say this strange ability
of mine was helpful.
402
00:35:42,348 --> 00:35:43,558
Is that so?
403
00:35:43,641 --> 00:35:45,184
I assumed His Majesty sent you to me
404
00:35:45,268 --> 00:35:46,978
because your ability
was a thing he valued.
405
00:35:47,061 --> 00:35:50,189
I must have proved to be of use
in helping with spirits.
406
00:35:55,611 --> 00:35:57,613
Are you in bad standing with your father?
407
00:36:01,576 --> 00:36:03,369
Hold your wretched tongue.
408
00:36:03,452 --> 00:36:06,706
You must not tell me
that you can hear such atrocious things.
409
00:36:06,789 --> 00:36:09,125
Not any child who bears my blood.
410
00:36:09,834 --> 00:36:12,295
Unless you wish
to bring disgrace to our name.
411
00:36:14,172 --> 00:36:19,385
To hear such strange things would indeed
be a disgrace for the royal house.
412
00:36:23,139 --> 00:36:24,139
Sounds good to me.
413
00:36:27,310 --> 00:36:28,728
What do you mean by that?
414
00:36:30,354 --> 00:36:33,774
It's just that
since we both dislike the King,
415
00:36:33,858 --> 00:36:36,027
it makes it feel almost like
we are on the same side.
416
00:36:39,155 --> 00:36:40,364
Even so,
417
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:46,454
when I heard those voices yelling
to be let out, I should've helped them.
418
00:36:47,955 --> 00:36:51,083
If only I had broken the jars
that their souls were imprisoned in.
419
00:36:51,167 --> 00:36:53,920
What could a mere child
have done to help them?
420
00:36:54,003 --> 00:36:56,714
Bearing such a strange gift
would've been hard enough.
421
00:36:57,757 --> 00:36:59,967
Don't carry that pointless guilt with you.
422
00:37:05,223 --> 00:37:09,143
I, too, was feared and pointed at
by others.
423
00:37:10,603 --> 00:37:12,980
You can simply ignore people like that.
424
00:37:17,401 --> 00:37:20,029
Just be mindful of them
and live your life so you don't end up…
425
00:37:20,112 --> 00:37:22,365
…getting possessed like that.
426
00:37:29,413 --> 00:37:32,792
Now I understand why you're so unusual.
427
00:37:33,626 --> 00:37:34,626
Me?
428
00:37:35,836 --> 00:37:38,005
I'll make sure
they are correctly buried in the ground.
429
00:37:38,089 --> 00:37:40,049
Whoa, whoa! Hey, hold on. Hold on.
430
00:37:40,091 --> 00:37:43,135
I will grind these court ladies' bones
into powder.
431
00:37:44,178 --> 00:37:45,680
-What?
-Hmm?
432
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:47,807
Ground into powder?
433
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:50,393
No, you must not!
434
00:37:51,018 --> 00:37:52,812
Are you trying
to shame the dead once again?
435
00:37:52,895 --> 00:37:54,814
Oh, for crying out loud.
436
00:37:54,897 --> 00:37:57,400
It's a pain having to explain this
every time.
437
00:37:57,483 --> 00:38:01,153
A won-gwi is a spirit that cannot just
simply pass on to the afterlife
438
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:03,155
because its resentment
is weighing it down.
439
00:38:03,906 --> 00:38:06,784
So if you use things
to help it remember who it once was,
440
00:38:06,867 --> 00:38:08,744
you can dissolve that resentment…
441
00:38:10,788 --> 00:38:12,665
And send it to the afterlife.
442
00:38:13,416 --> 00:38:16,043
But then their souls
do not disappear, right?
443
00:38:16,127 --> 00:38:17,378
They are pitiful spirits.
444
00:38:17,461 --> 00:38:18,337
Hey.
445
00:38:18,421 --> 00:38:22,717
Pitiful or not, they are harming
innocent people around the palace now.
446
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,302
There's no time to explain.
447
00:38:24,385 --> 00:38:28,097
What do you mean "there's no time"?
Are you saying that others will appear?
448
00:38:31,267 --> 00:38:34,312
They're probably already
under the Queen Dowager's nose.
449
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:03,007
Who is there?
450
00:39:04,050 --> 00:39:06,552
Bring me a candle at once.
451
00:39:31,410 --> 00:39:34,580
You will take this bone powder
and go to the Buddhist temple
452
00:39:34,663 --> 00:39:36,499
where the Queen Dowager is.
453
00:39:37,917 --> 00:39:41,337
I will go into the World of Gwi
and confront them.
454
00:39:44,673 --> 00:39:47,093
They will be with the Queen Dowager.
455
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:16,247
I am very sorry.
456
00:40:47,486 --> 00:40:50,448
As you said,
they are innocent won-gwi.
457
00:40:53,325 --> 00:40:56,954
To set them free,
we must get rid of the mass of resentment.
458
00:40:58,956 --> 00:41:01,500
You must begin when I ring the bell.
459
00:42:57,533 --> 00:42:59,743
So this is
the only way in the end?
460
00:43:03,747 --> 00:43:05,624
I am as good as dead.
461
00:43:32,860 --> 00:43:36,614
Hurry, Saeng-gang! Do it now!
462
00:44:14,485 --> 00:44:16,111
Let go of your grievances…
463
00:44:18,739 --> 00:44:20,908
And lay your anger to rest.
464
00:44:23,619 --> 00:44:26,205
Now you can all find your peace.
465
00:44:30,209 --> 00:44:32,670
I will guide you
to the afterlife.
466
00:44:34,129 --> 00:44:35,464
May you all…
467
00:44:38,926 --> 00:44:41,178
…be reborn in paradise.
468
00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:11,875
We are innocent.
469
00:45:11,959 --> 00:45:14,795
We are resentful.
470
00:45:14,878 --> 00:45:18,132
We are innocent.
471
00:45:19,633 --> 00:45:21,927
We are resentful.
472
00:45:23,971 --> 00:45:26,682
We are innocent.
473
00:45:26,765 --> 00:45:30,144
-What my mother and I had to endure…
-We are resentful.
474
00:45:30,227 --> 00:45:32,146
I've not forgotten about it.
475
00:45:32,229 --> 00:45:34,773
We are innocent.
476
00:45:35,691 --> 00:45:38,402
We are resentful.
477
00:45:38,485 --> 00:45:40,320
What are you so resentful about?
478
00:45:46,618 --> 00:45:47,703
We…
479
00:45:49,413 --> 00:45:53,125
We were only guilty of being in that place
and put to death.
480
00:45:53,208 --> 00:45:54,208
Who?
481
00:45:55,002 --> 00:45:56,628
Who is trying to speak?
482
00:45:59,465 --> 00:46:02,426
When she died,
the Most Favored Lady of the Court…
483
00:46:02,509 --> 00:46:04,553
Uttered the curse…
484
00:46:09,975 --> 00:46:14,229
From this day on, no royal blood
shall flow within these walls.
485
00:46:14,313 --> 00:46:17,399
You insolent wench!
How dare you speak in that manner!
486
00:46:17,483 --> 00:46:20,068
When I die and become a spirit,
487
00:46:20,736 --> 00:46:23,530
I will come back
to sever the royal bloodline.
488
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:29,161
I will wipe out the royal bloodline
and dry out the seed of the East Palace!
489
00:46:31,205 --> 00:46:32,885
What are you waiting for? Stop her!
490
00:46:43,175 --> 00:46:47,137
"No royal blood shall flow
within this palace."
491
00:46:47,888 --> 00:46:50,933
"I will dry out the seed
of the East Palace."
492
00:46:51,934 --> 00:46:55,896
"The serpent's shed skin
killed the dragon's child."
493
00:46:56,396 --> 00:46:58,273
She killed us because we heard
494
00:46:58,357 --> 00:47:00,984
the Most Favored Lady
of the Court's curse.
495
00:47:01,985 --> 00:47:07,533
Under the pretense
of the writing on the wall…
496
00:47:12,037 --> 00:47:14,790
The curse by
The Most Favored Lady of the Court?
497
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,271
Does that mean
the pond spirit's true identity
498
00:47:20,295 --> 00:47:22,130
is the Most Favored Lady of the Court?
499
00:47:24,675 --> 00:47:27,386
We are innocent.
500
00:47:29,888 --> 00:47:32,850
While we were in there,
being burned alive,
501
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,521
why did you stand by
and do nothing to save us?
502
00:47:39,439 --> 00:47:43,443
Those who commit sins
are bound to be punished eventually.
503
00:47:46,697 --> 00:47:49,616
You do not need to take a life
with your own hands.
