1
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,203
Gu-cheon.
2
00:00:37,287 --> 00:00:38,621
Gu-cheon!
3
00:00:39,873 --> 00:00:41,666
You need to wake up. Come back!
4
00:00:42,292 --> 00:00:43,334
Gu-cheon!
5
00:00:54,804 --> 00:00:56,222
Are you all right?
6
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:01,644
Gu-cheon! Gu-cheon!
7
00:01:49,442 --> 00:01:54,364
THE EAST PALACE
8
00:01:54,948 --> 00:01:58,076
So you managed to deal with
the 13 court ladies' spirits
9
00:01:58,159 --> 00:01:59,953
in the salt storehouse.
10
00:02:03,039 --> 00:02:05,750
You did very well. You may leave now.
11
00:02:06,251 --> 00:02:07,710
There is something I must ask.
12
00:02:09,712 --> 00:02:13,341
Did you have anything to do with
the salt storehouse seal getting broken?
13
00:02:13,424 --> 00:02:15,051
You have changed,
14
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:19,055
seeing that you now have the bravery
to ask such questions.
15
00:02:19,889 --> 00:02:22,517
However, you must've seen by now
16
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,440
the bloodshed that words
other people have said
17
00:02:24,477 --> 00:02:26,020
can unleash within the palace.
18
00:02:26,104 --> 00:02:27,704
Or have you forgotten about your mother?
19
00:02:27,730 --> 00:02:29,816
"I'll dry out the seed
of the East Palace."
20
00:02:29,899 --> 00:02:32,360
Those were the words
of the Most Favored Lady of the Court,
21
00:02:32,443 --> 00:02:34,154
who drowned in the pond 30 years ago.
22
00:02:35,071 --> 00:02:36,698
She is the pond spirit, is she not?
23
00:02:36,781 --> 00:02:38,116
Who was that woman, actually?
24
00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:40,368
And what was the reason for her death?
25
00:02:43,872 --> 00:02:46,332
Are you the only one who knows of this,
26
00:02:47,041 --> 00:02:49,252
or does Gu-cheon know as well?
27
00:02:50,712 --> 00:02:52,547
I am the only one who knows.
28
00:02:57,177 --> 00:02:59,596
Do not say anything about it to him.
29
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:01,848
Who was the pond spirit
when she was alive?
30
00:03:01,931 --> 00:03:04,100
I can catch her if you can answer me that.
31
00:03:05,643 --> 00:03:08,104
I am only telling you this one more time.
32
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:10,899
Stop digging into the pond spirit,
33
00:03:10,982 --> 00:03:13,902
and find a way to catch it
without uncovering its identity.
34
00:03:13,985 --> 00:03:16,154
Cease this incessant prying immediately.
35
00:03:16,863 --> 00:03:20,200
Anyone who tries to uncover
the palace disgrace dies.
36
00:03:20,283 --> 00:03:21,326
Even if they are
37
00:03:22,702 --> 00:03:24,871
a child of the royal lineage.
38
00:03:38,176 --> 00:03:40,011
I assume you are not better?
39
00:03:41,262 --> 00:03:43,556
You're recovering much slower than before.
40
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,268
Well, sending 13 spirits
back to the afterlife
41
00:03:47,352 --> 00:03:49,896
took most of my yang energy out of me.
42
00:03:51,231 --> 00:03:52,899
I will never do such an amount again.
43
00:03:54,525 --> 00:03:55,735
All right.
44
00:03:55,818 --> 00:03:57,695
Can you explain what happened?
45
00:03:58,738 --> 00:04:00,698
Why did you strangle me back there?
46
00:04:07,914 --> 00:04:10,208
-I strangled you?
-Yes.
47
00:04:10,875 --> 00:04:12,126
It was
48
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:14,545
like you were almost possessed.
49
00:04:26,182 --> 00:04:27,684
Down in that world…
50
00:04:31,479 --> 00:04:34,524
I lose a large amount of my yang energy
when I fight.
51
00:04:36,901 --> 00:04:40,905
And when I lose too much yang energy,
I end up in a spirit-like state,
52
00:04:40,989 --> 00:04:43,157
even after coming out of the water.
53
00:04:45,201 --> 00:04:48,955
At times, I lose consciousness briefly,
and I'm unaware of anything at all.
54
00:04:52,041 --> 00:04:54,294
That is why I must leave here
as soon as I'm able to.
55
00:04:56,170 --> 00:05:00,133
And that is the reason
I hate hunting spirits.
56
00:05:08,766 --> 00:05:09,809
Right.
57
00:05:12,854 --> 00:05:15,356
Now that I've revealed to you my secret,
58
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:20,194
you should tell me…
what's really on your mind right now.
59
00:05:21,487 --> 00:05:23,948
Who is it that you want to kill
while you're here?
60
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,119
The person who killed my mother.
61
00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:35,418
A cursed object filled with human remains
was found in the salt storehouse.
62
00:05:36,294 --> 00:05:38,087
You gave His Majesty only one princess,
63
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:40,381
and then, because of that,
you were never seen again.
64
00:05:40,465 --> 00:05:44,135
Out of jealousy, you cursed the Queen
and the rest of the concubines,
65
00:05:44,218 --> 00:05:45,303
did you not?
66
00:05:45,386 --> 00:05:46,763
I am innocent.
67
00:05:49,349 --> 00:05:51,309
That was not my cursed object.
68
00:05:51,392 --> 00:05:53,061
I swear it's not mine.
69
00:05:53,144 --> 00:05:54,144
Enough.
70
00:05:55,104 --> 00:05:56,189
This is your doing.
71
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:00,360
-Your Majesty.
-Keep going.
72
00:06:00,443 --> 00:06:02,653
Your Majesty!
73
00:06:04,614 --> 00:06:05,948
Ten years ago,
74
00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:08,910
it was Her Majesty the Queen Dowager
who framed my mother
75
00:06:08,993 --> 00:06:10,578
and forced her out of the palace.
76
00:06:11,162 --> 00:06:12,997
It is Mother. Please help her.
77
00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:15,792
Mother and the court maids are innocent.
78
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:19,212
Oh, please, Father.
The Queen is hurting Mother.
79
00:06:19,295 --> 00:06:22,441
I know that it is all my fault because
I heard a strange voice, but I promise...
80
00:06:22,465 --> 00:06:24,133
Enough.
81
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:26,844
She will be stripped of her station
for burying a cursed object
82
00:06:26,928 --> 00:06:28,262
and then banished.
83
00:06:28,888 --> 00:06:30,390
That is the only way she will live.
84
00:06:30,473 --> 00:06:33,518
But that cursed object was not Mother's.
It was not, Father.
85
00:06:34,185 --> 00:06:37,730
The spirit in the salt storehouse said,
"The serpent's shed skin..."
86
00:06:39,941 --> 00:06:41,692
It's best you hold your tongue.
87
00:06:42,568 --> 00:06:45,196
You must not tell me
that you hear such things.
88
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,490
Not any child that bears my blood.
89
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:50,243
Unless you wish to bring disgrace
to our name.
90
00:06:51,452 --> 00:06:54,956
Do not tell a single soul any of it.
91
00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:57,333
Do you understand?
92
00:07:01,546 --> 00:07:03,423
How foolish you are.
93
00:07:05,466 --> 00:07:06,926
How utterly foolish.
94
00:07:07,009 --> 00:07:09,137
You need to learn your place.
95
00:07:10,263 --> 00:07:13,141
Now, mind your tongue in the palace.
96
00:07:31,659 --> 00:07:34,912
You and your mother
shall be cast out at once!
97
00:07:38,207 --> 00:07:39,959
But, Father, please…
98
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:41,627
How could you?
99
00:07:54,348 --> 00:07:56,559
After we were cast out of the palace,
100
00:07:57,685 --> 00:07:59,812
Mother was poisoned to death.
101
00:08:01,522 --> 00:08:05,109
All because she uncovered
the cursed object in the salt storehouse
102
00:08:05,193 --> 00:08:07,820
and drew close
to the secret of the pond spirit.
103
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:10,573
The one who sought to protect
the pond spirit's secret
104
00:08:10,656 --> 00:08:12,700
is the one who killed my innocent mother.
105
00:08:15,578 --> 00:08:17,138
Are you sure you should be saying this?
106
00:08:17,205 --> 00:08:20,541
I need you to be able to unravel
my mother's secret.
107
00:08:21,042 --> 00:08:23,127
That's why I place my trust in you.
108
00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:24,587
Good heavens.
109
00:08:25,254 --> 00:08:27,256
What a life this is.
110
00:08:31,385 --> 00:08:32,678
You can leave now.
111
00:08:39,310 --> 00:08:42,563
We need to find the true identity
of the Most Favored Lady of the Court.
112
00:08:42,647 --> 00:08:43,981
Get ready and come out.
113
00:08:51,155 --> 00:08:54,534
I went to pay my respects
at the Queen Dowager's quarters
114
00:08:54,617 --> 00:08:56,285
and saw Saeng-gang walking by.
115
00:08:57,662 --> 00:09:01,082
She was dressed as a court lady
and accompanied by a man.
116
00:09:01,165 --> 00:09:03,751
Have you made her do something dangerous?
117
00:09:03,834 --> 00:09:06,170
You need not concern yourself with it.
118
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:08,714
Mother,
119
00:09:10,007 --> 00:09:11,008
do you not remember?
120
00:09:11,092 --> 00:09:13,052
You need only attend to my son.
121
00:09:15,888 --> 00:09:17,098
That aside…
122
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:22,728
The Queen Dowager
is harboring some ulterior motives.
123
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:29,318
It seems she intends…
124
00:09:31,112 --> 00:09:34,282
To have Prince Iksang's eldest son named
Crown Prince.
125
00:09:35,992 --> 00:09:37,368
Well, even so,
126
00:09:38,119 --> 00:09:41,872
we must act for the sake of
the Jongmyo Shrine and good fortune altar.
127
00:10:00,558 --> 00:10:04,353
Are you saying that even though you know
what I had to endure for this seat,
128
00:10:04,437 --> 00:10:07,732
you still choose to come and tell me
to act for the sake of the shrine?
129
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:12,445
Things will not unfold
as the Queen Dowager intends them to be.
130
00:10:12,528 --> 00:10:16,907
My son will take the throne,
and I will make sure that it does happen.
131
00:10:16,991 --> 00:10:18,701
It will be his.
132
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:22,496
Yes.
133
00:10:24,498 --> 00:10:27,585
Even if I do have to conjure spirits.
134
00:10:32,006 --> 00:10:33,049
There.
135
00:10:36,302 --> 00:10:37,982
Why did we sneak
into Lady Jang's quarters?
136
00:10:38,012 --> 00:10:39,764
It's not as if we are thieves.
137
00:10:41,849 --> 00:10:43,726
Are you the sage of morality? Huh?
138
00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:48,147
Lady Jang has spent her entire life
by the Queen Dowager's side.
139
00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:50,399
She must know all of her secrets.
140
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:53,903
So I'm trying to scare her into spilling
everything about the pond spirit.
141
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:56,864
Then do it correctly, all right?
142
00:10:56,947 --> 00:10:58,074
And what is that?
143
00:10:59,283 --> 00:11:00,283
Madam.
144
00:11:00,743 --> 00:11:03,204
You're back earlier than usual.
145
00:11:03,287 --> 00:11:05,998
I was not feeling myself.
I came back to rest.
146
00:11:09,627 --> 00:11:11,087
Wait! Uh…
147
00:11:16,384 --> 00:11:18,135
Who… Who are you?
148
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:20,388
Who gave you permission to come in here?
149
00:11:22,973 --> 00:11:24,767
The pond spirit is…
150
00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:28,354
Is right here, with you.
151
00:11:28,437 --> 00:11:30,940
Wait, are you not that feng shui man
who recently got here?
152
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:33,109
-What are you doing in my quarters?
-Sh. Sh.
153
00:11:34,694 --> 00:11:36,904
Look at these footprints on the floor.
154
00:11:38,072 --> 00:11:39,072
What…
155
00:11:39,615 --> 00:11:40,700
This is not pond mud.
156
00:11:40,783 --> 00:11:43,023
Get out of here immediately,
or I'll call someone.
157
00:11:43,077 --> 00:11:44,197
-Hold on!
-I will!
158
00:11:44,245 --> 00:11:46,080
I can feel the pond spirit.
It's close to us.
159
00:11:46,163 --> 00:11:47,957
What?
160
00:11:48,582 --> 00:11:51,001
The pond spirit is over there.
161
00:11:51,919 --> 00:11:53,379
What… What is…
162
00:11:53,462 --> 00:11:55,548
Hey you!
You should earn your keep.
163
00:11:55,631 --> 00:11:57,591
-This bastard…
-Do what you do best. Now!
164
00:11:57,675 --> 00:12:00,344
-What do you think you are doing?
-Hey! Come on.
165
00:12:00,428 --> 00:12:02,596
What are you doing?
Explain yourself.
166
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:05,015
-Hey.
-How dare you pull such an absurd stunt!
167
00:12:05,099 --> 00:12:06,809
Somebody come in here now!
168
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,108
Where is that crying coming from?
169
00:12:14,191 --> 00:12:17,027
I will dry out the seed
of the East Palace.
170
00:12:20,364 --> 00:12:23,492
It's the pond spirit.
The pond spirit has come.
171
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:26,454
Did I not tell you when I went
to the Queen Dowager's quarters?
172
00:12:26,537 --> 00:12:29,498
A won-gwi seeks out the one
responsible for its death.
173
00:13:05,743 --> 00:13:09,079
Homage to Amitabha Buddha.
Homage to Amitabha Buddha.
174
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:13,667
Homage to Amitabha Buddha.
175
00:13:14,168 --> 00:13:16,086
You said you were a feng shui master?
176
00:13:18,297 --> 00:13:20,925
Do you also know how to deal with spirits?
177
00:13:24,887 --> 00:13:26,472
Speaking of which…
178
00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:30,726
The thing is, Lady Jang,
179
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:35,189
this spirit will come looking for you
again any moment.
180
00:13:35,272 --> 00:13:36,857
It will?
181
00:13:39,401 --> 00:13:41,195
What should I do if it does?
182
00:13:41,278 --> 00:13:44,073
In order to keep
the pond spirit from coming in here,
183
00:13:44,156 --> 00:13:48,828
I have to know exactly how it lived
when it was alive.
184
00:13:50,704 --> 00:13:53,958
Do not worry, Lady Jang.
You can tell him everything you know.
185
00:13:54,834 --> 00:13:57,086
He will keep it a secret
from the Queen Dowager.
186
00:13:57,169 --> 00:13:58,629
He's capable of doing that.
187
00:13:58,712 --> 00:13:59,712
What?
188
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:03,384
Of course.
189
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:05,803
So, then,
190
00:14:07,346 --> 00:14:09,181
who might that ghost be?
191
00:14:11,392 --> 00:14:13,018
The spirit is…
192
00:14:18,983 --> 00:14:20,776
The late King's
193
00:14:21,735 --> 00:14:24,071
last Most Favored Court Lady.
194
00:14:28,826 --> 00:14:33,163
A woman of the lowest birth,
nothing more than a menial labor maid,
195
00:14:33,247 --> 00:14:35,332
caught the late King's eye
196
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:38,002
and received his favor
197
00:14:38,085 --> 00:14:40,045
and even conceived his child.
198
00:14:43,340 --> 00:14:46,260
But it later came to light
that the woman
199
00:14:47,219 --> 00:14:50,848
was in a relationship with a royal guard.
200
00:14:54,184 --> 00:14:56,896
When Her Majesty found out
about that fact…
201
00:14:58,772 --> 00:15:00,608
…she ordered the royal guard
to be tortured.
202
00:15:00,691 --> 00:15:01,775
Hold still!
203
00:15:03,027 --> 00:15:06,113
But he did not readily confess.
204
00:15:07,197 --> 00:15:10,492
So soldiers were sent out,
and they uncovered evidence.
205
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,288
-And in the end, he admitted to the crime.
-Search it!
206
00:15:14,788 --> 00:15:16,874
It turned out that the child
207
00:15:18,459 --> 00:15:20,586
was not the late King's at all.
208
00:15:20,669 --> 00:15:22,838
It was the royal guard's.
209
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:25,174
After enduring torture,
210
00:15:25,674 --> 00:15:27,509
the Most Favored Lady miscarried
211
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:31,388
and died with resentment
for the royal family burning in her heart.
212
00:15:31,472 --> 00:15:34,850
I will dry out the seed
of the East Palace!
213
00:15:39,647 --> 00:15:41,398
Then what happened to her body?
214
00:15:42,316 --> 00:15:43,442
Do you know?
215
00:15:45,694 --> 00:15:48,364
It was secretly taken out of the palace.
216
00:15:48,447 --> 00:15:50,908
A grave would never have been an option.
217
00:15:51,575 --> 00:15:52,910
And her belongings?
218
00:15:53,744 --> 00:15:56,246
As a traitor to the Crown,
the body was burned.
219
00:15:57,831 --> 00:16:00,709
So there is nothing left of her
besides her memory?
220
00:16:04,213 --> 00:16:07,424
She had no family,
so it was to be expected.
221
00:16:10,844 --> 00:16:13,222
So the Most Favored Lady of the Court
cursed the royal house
222
00:16:13,305 --> 00:16:15,224
after dying for her own wrongdoing?
223
00:16:16,934 --> 00:16:18,686
Surely that isn't everything.
224
00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:21,313
A hidden palace disgrace lies behind this.
225
00:16:24,108 --> 00:16:26,193
I will have to ask it myself, then.
226
00:16:26,694 --> 00:16:28,696
Is there a way to summon the spirit?
227
00:16:29,488 --> 00:16:31,073
Then what will you do?
228
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:33,367
There's no way to send it
to the afterlife.
229
00:16:39,206 --> 00:16:40,708
Lady Jang mentioned
230
00:16:41,208 --> 00:16:43,168
that everybody who entered
the royal guard's house
231
00:16:43,252 --> 00:16:44,732
seemed to have met an untimely death.
232
00:16:44,795 --> 00:16:47,232
It appears the royal guard's spirit
has settled himself there.
233
00:16:47,256 --> 00:16:48,256
Exactly.
234
00:16:48,298 --> 00:16:50,818
There's a reason the royal guard died
and remained in that house
235
00:16:50,843 --> 00:16:52,386
instead of moving on.
236
00:16:52,469 --> 00:16:55,806
Since they were lovers,
her belongings may still be there.
237
00:16:57,307 --> 00:16:58,976
We must stop by his house immediately.
238
00:16:59,059 --> 00:17:00,519
Have you lost your mind?
239
00:17:01,395 --> 00:17:02,813
An untimely death is your big plan?
240
00:17:02,896 --> 00:17:04,523
Have you made a plan?
241
00:17:05,441 --> 00:17:08,110
I'm the one who can leave
and come back as I please.
242
00:17:08,193 --> 00:17:09,862
I know of another way I can leave.
243
00:17:10,446 --> 00:17:12,114
If I become a soul.
244
00:17:16,201 --> 00:17:18,829
Is that even… possible?
245
00:17:19,788 --> 00:17:21,790
It is, but also dangerous.
246
00:17:22,374 --> 00:17:25,044
If the body and soul drift too far apart…
247
00:17:27,171 --> 00:17:29,048
It will be difficult to return.
248
00:17:30,257 --> 00:17:31,508
If I fail,
249
00:17:32,676 --> 00:17:34,511
my soul could lose its way…
250
00:17:36,889 --> 00:17:38,682
And I will become a spirit.
251
00:17:41,226 --> 00:17:43,896
If that happens,
I will surely become an ak-gwi.
252
00:17:43,979 --> 00:17:45,814
And what is that?
253
00:17:46,774 --> 00:17:50,319
An ak-gwi is someone who died
but is burdened with great karma.
254
00:17:51,403 --> 00:17:52,654
In life, you…
255
00:17:56,742 --> 00:17:57,868
Are you all right?
256
00:18:05,250 --> 00:18:07,628
Do you see something
in that well over there?
257
00:18:15,844 --> 00:18:17,513
You do not look very well.
258
00:18:18,305 --> 00:18:20,140
If you need my yang energy, I could...
259
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:21,904
If you wanted to give me your yang energy,
260
00:18:21,934 --> 00:18:24,603
then you would have to hold me close
and lend me your warmth.
261
00:18:24,686 --> 00:18:25,896
Can you do that?
262
00:18:28,732 --> 00:18:29,858
Forget it.
263
00:18:29,942 --> 00:18:32,111
I have no intention of doing that either.
264
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:34,613
So are you going to stay like this?
265
00:18:34,696 --> 00:18:36,740
No. It will only get worse.
266
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:38,826
Then from now on, I will go with you
267
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,787
to that realm to help you.
268
00:18:41,870 --> 00:18:43,580
Two are better than one.
269
00:18:43,664 --> 00:18:45,207
Teach me how to go there.
270
00:18:47,251 --> 00:18:48,919
Let's be perfectly clear.
271
00:18:49,419 --> 00:18:52,256
You would like me to show you
how to die like me?
272
00:18:52,756 --> 00:18:55,092
I should be spending my days helping you.
273
00:18:55,175 --> 00:18:56,927
There is only one way you could.
274
00:18:58,011 --> 00:18:59,930
Go and tell the King what you know.
275
00:19:00,430 --> 00:19:03,600
Tell him we can't capture
the pond spirit any longer
276
00:19:04,268 --> 00:19:07,271
and that I may lose my mind
and start killing people,
277
00:19:07,354 --> 00:19:08,522
so he must let me go.
278
00:19:14,194 --> 00:19:15,779
That is not possible.
279
00:19:16,905 --> 00:19:18,198
You have to find a way.
280
00:19:18,282 --> 00:19:22,661
And do not naively believe
that he will let you leave the palace.
281
00:19:26,957 --> 00:19:29,751
Then I must choose
to leave here in death after all.
282
00:19:35,257 --> 00:19:37,384
If I die within these walls,
283
00:19:38,427 --> 00:19:40,888
I will return
as an intensely ruthless ak-gwi.
284
00:19:40,971 --> 00:19:42,639
And when I do come back…
285
00:19:44,892 --> 00:19:47,227
The first person I will kill is the King.
286
00:19:49,730 --> 00:19:50,856
I'm sorry.
287
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:54,735
Are you daring
to threaten His Majesty's life?
288
00:19:54,818 --> 00:19:56,153
Why does it matter to you?
289
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:58,864
You hate him as much as I do.
290
00:19:58,947 --> 00:20:01,783
Yes, however, he is this country's King.
291
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:04,536
Those of royal blood are all the same.
292
00:20:05,829 --> 00:20:08,415
They use whoever they please
to get what they want,
293
00:20:08,916 --> 00:20:11,919
and they don't blink
over the death or life of others.
294
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:15,964
You're just the same as the rest.
295
00:20:21,678 --> 00:20:22,721
Miss?
296
00:20:28,018 --> 00:20:31,188
Royal Noble Consort Sukbin
wishes to see you.
297
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:35,234
It has been a while, Grandmother.
298
00:20:35,317 --> 00:20:37,110
His Majesty told me everything.
299
00:20:37,611 --> 00:20:41,490
How could you think to disguise yourself
as a court lady and enter the gates?
300
00:20:41,573 --> 00:20:44,159
And why are you back
in these walls again, Grandmother?
301
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:47,204
It was you who hated coming in here
more than anybody.
302
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,998
You will not be answering my question,
will you?
303
00:20:50,082 --> 00:20:52,167
Predisposed to change the subject.
304
00:20:54,419 --> 00:20:56,088
I am exhausted.
305
00:20:56,171 --> 00:20:58,966
-Oh.
-Goodness gracious.
306
00:21:03,136 --> 00:21:04,221
Saeng-gang.
307
00:21:06,181 --> 00:21:08,976
I hope you do not get swept up
in palace strife again,
308
00:21:09,059 --> 00:21:11,311
like you did when you were a child.
309
00:21:13,981 --> 00:21:15,565
In the end, Grandmother,
310
00:21:17,025 --> 00:21:18,735
only you worry about me.
311
00:21:21,989 --> 00:21:24,741
After Mother and I
were driven out of here forever,
312
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:27,536
you were the only person
who took care of us,
313
00:21:28,078 --> 00:21:29,621
no matter what went on.
314
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:32,499
And how is that man?
315
00:21:32,582 --> 00:21:35,377
I have heard that he is strange
and rather dangerous.
316
00:21:37,671 --> 00:21:39,631
He is strange, I must admit.
317
00:21:40,215 --> 00:21:42,676
But he is the one
I need most in this moment.
318
00:21:44,094 --> 00:21:45,929
He can be dangerous as well.
319
00:21:48,015 --> 00:21:51,310
But I do not care, as long as
I do not begin seeking his friendship.
320
00:21:53,645 --> 00:21:56,857
The palace is a place
where the healthy become ill.
321
00:21:58,275 --> 00:22:01,820
And people with darkness in their hearts
will end as ak-gwi.
322
00:22:03,905 --> 00:22:05,699
So you see, you must take care.
323
00:22:12,414 --> 00:22:13,707
Gu-cheon.
324
00:22:17,169 --> 00:22:18,337
Gu-cheon?
325
00:22:20,922 --> 00:22:22,507
My baby.
326
00:22:24,217 --> 00:22:26,053
Let me hold you just once.
327
00:22:28,388 --> 00:22:31,016
You have missed me, have you not?
328
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:35,687
Come here.
329
00:22:54,247 --> 00:22:57,125
This is an ill omen.
People have died here before.
330
00:22:57,209 --> 00:22:58,710
That is why the well was sealed.
331
00:22:58,794 --> 00:23:01,171
And now
another menial labor maid has died.
332
00:23:01,254 --> 00:23:04,549
A menial labor maid carrying wash water
walked by the well at dawn
333
00:23:04,633 --> 00:23:06,176
and saw a man was by it.
334
00:23:06,259 --> 00:23:07,969
-Is that so?
-Yes.
335
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:11,556
The maid said it was the feng shui master
staying at the East Palace.
336
00:23:12,057 --> 00:23:14,601
Shall I turn him over
to the State Tribunal for questioning?
337
00:23:14,684 --> 00:23:17,687
No. The Queen Dowager's
70th birthday banquet is drawing near.
338
00:23:17,771 --> 00:23:19,314
This must be handled discreetly.
339
00:23:19,981 --> 00:23:21,733
We must not make a fuss.
340
00:23:21,817 --> 00:23:23,110
Yes, madam.
341
00:23:53,557 --> 00:23:54,683
Gu-cheon.
342
00:24:03,108 --> 00:24:04,734
Explain this bloodstain.
343
00:24:06,987 --> 00:24:09,739
What is this?
344
00:24:10,782 --> 00:24:13,243
Explain to me why you were
wandering around at midnight.
345
00:24:13,952 --> 00:24:15,495
Whose blood is this?
346
00:24:16,788 --> 00:24:18,206
What do you mean "whose"?
347
00:24:20,834 --> 00:24:22,554
Are you telling me
that I have hurt someone?
348
00:24:26,256 --> 00:24:27,841
Then it must be your blood.
349
00:24:29,301 --> 00:24:31,761
Where were you hurt? Why were you hurt?
350
00:24:31,845 --> 00:24:34,306
My nose must have bled
after I had nodded off.
351
00:24:36,141 --> 00:24:37,809
After fighting the court ladies,
352
00:24:38,685 --> 00:24:40,145
I lost my strength.
353
00:24:40,770 --> 00:24:43,607
And that Ggeomeoksali
is still draining my yang energy.
354
00:24:47,027 --> 00:24:48,487
I have already told you
355
00:24:48,570 --> 00:24:51,531
that I lose my yang energy
in the other world.
356
00:25:20,310 --> 00:25:21,603
Prince Yeongan.
357
00:25:24,064 --> 00:25:26,066
You must regain your strength,
Prince Yeongan.
358
00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:29,945
It was not this severe before,
Your Majesty,
359
00:25:30,028 --> 00:25:32,197
but his condition suddenly worsened.
360
00:26:05,313 --> 00:26:06,648
Coming here,
361
00:26:07,566 --> 00:26:11,861
it brings me back to the days when
I lived in the East Palace as a young boy.
362
00:26:12,862 --> 00:26:15,907
This place still sends chills
down my spine.
363
00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:19,703
So what brings you
to such a dreadful place?
364
00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:24,708
How much longer do I have to wait?
365
00:26:25,709 --> 00:26:27,877
I came in person to hear your answer.
366
00:26:27,961 --> 00:26:30,213
First of all,
allow me to leave the palace.
367
00:26:30,297 --> 00:26:31,673
If I stay here any longer,
368
00:26:32,340 --> 00:26:34,801
then all of the palace's yin energy
will kill me.
369
00:26:36,052 --> 00:26:37,637
If you let me leave here,
370
00:26:37,721 --> 00:26:40,348
I will find a way
to capture the pond spirit.
371
00:26:43,935 --> 00:26:47,522
Tomorrow is the Queen Dowager's
70th birthday banquet.
372
00:26:48,523 --> 00:26:51,693
Eliminate the pond spirit
and restore Prince Yeongan.
373
00:26:52,444 --> 00:26:53,820
You will have until noon.
374
00:26:54,863 --> 00:26:56,323
Your Majesty, I just...
375
00:26:56,406 --> 00:26:58,325
Your life means nothing to me.
376
00:26:59,326 --> 00:27:03,246
The day you will leave here
is the day that I no longer draw breath.
377
00:27:03,997 --> 00:27:08,168
If my son cannot walk directly
into the Queen's banquet
378
00:27:08,251 --> 00:27:10,837
on his own two feet tomorrow,
I promise I will kill you
379
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,006
and bind your soul to this palace
for all time.
380
00:27:13,089 --> 00:27:14,966
Do you understand?
381
00:27:15,717 --> 00:27:17,260
Do you understand?
382
00:27:46,665 --> 00:27:50,335
Wait. Are you not the feng shui man
who has been staying in the East Palace?
383
00:27:50,418 --> 00:27:52,879
Why are you in a place
reserved only for women?
384
00:27:54,255 --> 00:27:56,299
-Where is the owner of these quarters?
-Pardon?
385
00:27:56,383 --> 00:27:58,885
I may be younger than you,
but I am still a court lady.
386
00:27:58,968 --> 00:28:00,136
Watch how you speak to me.
387
00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:02,430
This will not do. You should be helping.
388
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:04,599
Wait, what? I… I mean… What?
389
00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:07,894
The order came from Miss Saeng-gang.
Hurry.
390
00:28:08,395 --> 00:28:09,646
Uh, oh…
391
00:28:19,864 --> 00:28:21,324
What is he doing?
392
00:28:25,203 --> 00:28:27,455
Wait. What are you doing?
393
00:28:42,512 --> 00:28:45,557
What exactly
did Miss Saeng-gang order you to do?
394
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:46,960
Place this brass basin
395
00:28:47,016 --> 00:28:49,769
near the residence
of the royal guard's house in Jungchon.
396
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:52,105
Mark my words.
397
00:28:52,731 --> 00:28:54,899
You must not spill this water.
398
00:28:57,402 --> 00:28:59,154
I have no choice
399
00:29:00,238 --> 00:29:03,658
but to become a soul and seek out
the royal guard through my blood.
400
00:29:19,841 --> 00:29:21,217
What is going on?
401
00:29:21,301 --> 00:29:25,054
It looks like some lightning
struck the jujube tree just now.
402
00:29:25,138 --> 00:29:26,723
This does not bode well.
403
00:29:26,806 --> 00:29:30,143
What calamity is this
on the Queen Dowager's 70th birthday?
404
00:29:30,643 --> 00:29:32,604
Good heavens. What should we do?
405
00:29:33,188 --> 00:29:35,523
Have you heard of
lightning-struck jujube wood?
406
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:37,066
I have not.
407
00:29:37,567 --> 00:29:41,029
At this rate, every peach tree
in the palace will be stripped bare.
408
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:44,032
That is exactly what I am saying.
409
00:29:44,115 --> 00:29:46,284
This stuff rots away
the moment I cut a spirit with it,
410
00:29:46,367 --> 00:29:47,367
unlike jujube.
411
00:29:47,410 --> 00:29:48,787
Jujube wood.
412
00:29:49,370 --> 00:29:50,455
How's it different?
413
00:29:50,538 --> 00:29:53,208
Since it's a jujube tree
struck by lightning, it's sturdy,
414
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:55,168
and it sinks in the water as I do.
415
00:29:59,881 --> 00:30:03,343
It drives away evil spirits,
so it's ideal for striking them down.
416
00:30:05,512 --> 00:30:07,305
Heaven is on our side.
417
00:30:16,272 --> 00:30:17,941
Gu-cheon.
418
00:30:32,705 --> 00:30:34,499
This is exhausting.
419
00:31:18,918 --> 00:31:21,379
You cannot take it.
420
00:31:21,462 --> 00:31:23,548
I must protect it.
421
00:33:31,092 --> 00:33:32,092
Stop it!
422
00:33:35,263 --> 00:33:37,974
What are you trying to protect,
even in death?
423
00:33:38,057 --> 00:33:40,268
It's my crime.
424
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:42,770
I have to return it.
425
00:33:43,271 --> 00:33:44,856
It is
426
00:33:45,773 --> 00:33:48,192
my crime.
427
00:33:50,570 --> 00:33:51,738
I did it.
428
00:33:51,821 --> 00:33:53,197
I did it!
429
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:02,040
This is the sword
stained with your blood. Take it!
430
00:34:57,929 --> 00:34:59,055
I killed her.
431
00:35:00,556 --> 00:35:04,477
After she became the King's woman,
I framed her and
432
00:35:05,603 --> 00:35:07,355
betrayed her as well.
433
00:35:11,692 --> 00:35:12,985
They said
434
00:35:13,694 --> 00:35:16,697
that if I made a false confession,
435
00:35:17,490 --> 00:35:20,034
the Queen Dowager would at least
436
00:35:20,118 --> 00:35:23,663
spare my family from extermination.
437
00:35:30,545 --> 00:35:36,467
I… buried the baby shirt
that she had made with all her heart.
438
00:35:40,388 --> 00:35:43,558
I buried it beneath this tree.
439
00:35:50,148 --> 00:35:51,440
Therefore,
440
00:35:52,066 --> 00:35:55,695
until she returns, I must protect it here.
441
00:35:58,990 --> 00:36:00,074
I have to.
442
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,661
I must beg for her forgiveness.
443
00:36:48,289 --> 00:36:49,289
Huh?
444
00:36:50,333 --> 00:36:51,667
What are you doing?
445
00:36:52,543 --> 00:36:54,837
Miss Saeng-gang! Miss Saeng-gang!
446
00:37:02,261 --> 00:37:04,847
-No!
-Hey, Gu-cheon. Gu-cheon!
447
00:37:06,766 --> 00:37:08,893
Uh, is… is he alive?
448
00:37:10,853 --> 00:37:13,522
This madman went into the other realm
without a tether.
449
00:37:13,606 --> 00:37:15,691
Now I can't pull his soul back.
450
00:37:15,775 --> 00:37:18,110
Come on! Where is your soul being held?
451
00:37:18,194 --> 00:37:20,529
Hey! Gu-cheon!
452
00:37:20,613 --> 00:37:22,198
Are you on your way back?
453
00:37:54,689 --> 00:37:57,149
If the body and soul
drift too far apart,
454
00:37:57,233 --> 00:37:59,360
it will be difficult to return.
455
00:37:59,443 --> 00:38:02,071
-If I fail, my soul could lose its way.
-Come on! Gu-cheon!
456
00:38:02,947 --> 00:38:04,699
And I will become a spirit.
457
00:38:06,284 --> 00:38:09,370
If that happens,
I will surely become an ak-gwi.
458
00:38:14,542 --> 00:38:17,586
I will not let you
wander the realm as a spirit alone.
459
00:38:18,754 --> 00:38:21,257
I will come and find you, Gu-cheon.
460
00:38:22,842 --> 00:38:24,302
Please wait for me.
461
00:38:24,844 --> 00:38:25,886
Please.
462
00:39:50,930 --> 00:39:52,473
Gu-cheon.
463
00:39:58,104 --> 00:39:59,730
Come to me.
464
00:40:10,825 --> 00:40:12,034
Over here.
465
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:13,869
Mother.
466
00:40:17,790 --> 00:40:19,417
Gu-cheon!
467
00:40:21,168 --> 00:40:22,753
Do not go any closer!
468
00:40:22,837 --> 00:40:25,557
-Gu-cheon.
-That gwi-mae lures people to their death.
469
00:40:25,589 --> 00:40:27,591
We have to leave this place now.
Follow me out.
470
00:40:27,675 --> 00:40:30,136
-You missed me, did you not?
-Gu-cheon!
471
00:40:30,970 --> 00:40:33,222
-Please take a closer look!
-Come on.
472
00:40:37,726 --> 00:40:39,478
Gu-cheon!
473
00:41:09,216 --> 00:41:10,634
Mother.
474
00:41:32,865 --> 00:41:34,325
Mother.
475
00:41:37,411 --> 00:41:39,663
I died because of you!
476
00:41:44,585 --> 00:41:46,003
Let go of me!
477
00:43:00,494 --> 00:43:02,580
Gu-cheon!
478
00:43:10,629 --> 00:43:13,424
Then I must choose
to leave here in death after all.
479
00:43:15,092 --> 00:43:17,261
If I die within these walls,
480
00:43:17,928 --> 00:43:20,222
I will return as
an intensely ruthless ak-gwi.
481
00:43:20,306 --> 00:43:21,890
And when I do come back…
482
00:43:24,268 --> 00:43:26,186
The first person I will kill is the King.
483
00:43:27,688 --> 00:43:29,189
Did he plan…
