Why?

do you resent the father?

You have died Prince Yeongan

and now you want to kill the father. Why?

Watch carefully...

and you will see

how i died

Dad poisoned me.

The father went to me...

to kill

- You have regained knowledge! - Majesty

- Chief Eunuch Kim. - Yes, your majesty.

Summons the royal secretary.

majesty

we don't have time

We must contain the plague at once. Comply with the edict as written.

majesty

You are ordering us that we kill all the villagers?

RUN THEM ALL

Don't delay.

It's an ak-gwi.

A living ak-gwi.

Dad killed me.

Dad killed me when I discovered their sins.

You know the secret too. it will kill you

- I'm next. - The next one.

You know the secret. Dad killed me. Dad poisoned me. You are next.

- He will kill me too. - It will kill you soon.

- You know the secret. - Because I know the secret.

Father has killed everyone.

You are next.

wafer

I can't see well here either.

princess

You broke the order of saving Prince Yeongan.

And you hid here, deceiving me

and taking me for a fool.

This is how I saved you from the spirit.

You even dug up the corpse of the prince.

where is it

I can't tell you.

It is necessary to banish the spirit.

The spirit is

your son, your majesty.

You have ten days.

- To banish the spirit. - It's not enough.

ten days

Then you too you must do as I say, your majesty.

- Hold your tongue. How do you...? - I will put a barrier in your room.

It is to prevent the spirit from entering.

Unless you want to cough up blood

and to be at the gates of death again.

Very well, with one condition.

Put it at the entrance of the building.

princess

princess

Princess!

It can't be…

princess are you ok

you woke up

what happened

You passed out.

It seems that the spirit of the crown prince has possessed you.

He used your body to hide his

then,

are you still attached to me?

I don't know

what do you mean

I hurt my eye and I don't see the spirits.

take a rest

I will search for the crown prince's body.

no need

what do you mean

Even if you banish the spirit,

he will kill us both.

He killed his own son.

Did he kill his son?

The rice in his mouth it had turned black.

He died poisoned.

To avoid ending up like him,

we have to prove that the incidents of 30 years ago,

attributed to a curse, they were the work of the father.

Before it kills more people.

I have sent soldiers to fulfill your order.

But it seems that some they let the women and children go,

that have escaped

Those who have let the villagers go are they still there

yes majesty

So stop them and, in front of the other soldiers...

behead them

I guess

that I will have to find myself with the spirit of the prince.

what do you mean

I have to ask him myself how he discovered his father's crimes.

Maybe he's asking me for help

to ease his resentment.

princess,

he is an ak-gwi who has killed people.

forget it

take this

what is it

An amulet to prevent the spirit of the crown prince cling to you.

It must be very frustrating

not see well

There is one good thing.

For the first time in my life,

I see no spirit or gwi-mae. It is most pleasant.

Would you like it then?

continue living like this?

Even if you can't see well?

Wish what you wish,

I have to get my sight back to find the spirit.

Only then will we both survive.

what are you doing

I check if the spirit of the prince

it's got a sneaky hold on you.

But now that I can hardly see,

I have no idea.

my mother

Speaking of your sight…

how can you recover it?

I have to find the damn shaman that blocked my way.

The shaman must be on duty of whom the dead king wills.

Does anyone come to mind?

what brings you here

I have to ask you a question.

Have you performed any rituals lately?

A ritual?

I think you called a shaman when Prince Yeongan fell ill.

Where is that shaman?

You came to see me just to ask me this?

after what you did to me

do you still dare to appear before me?

majesty

By the way...

that must be the fengshui master who hired his majesty.

Why did you bring him here?

Inspect the palace by order of his majesty.

- Your residence... - You only know how to tell lies.

I know he's been doing strange things.

I want to hear you say it.

Is it still there?

a spirit in the palace what haunts the royal line?

Spirits in the palace?

You will make uncle laugh.

what did you say

Whether or not it was the work of a spirit,

it's a break that his majesty has recovered, right?

Especially now that the plague is ravaging the kingdom.

By the way, princess, did you hear about it?

His majesty has sent soldiers where the plague had broken out.

And then…

he has executed everyone.

Children and old people too, until the last one.

It's an ak-gwi.

A living ak-gwi.

They say it's the first which his majesty did when he woke up.

Mother!

Mom, please wake up.

Dad killed me.

You know the secret. He will kill everyone.

You are next. Dad killed me.

You are next.

How dare you touch the princess?

He had a centipede as big as a snake.

Vipers gather here.

Uncle, you have come to inform the dowager queen of this matter?

Why should I care? if I don't have a charge?

His majesty has issued an edict

to appoint a crown prince my first born

and I have come to pay my respects

to Her Majesty the Queen Dowager.

Bring Prince Iksang's son, Prince Inha, to learn etiquette

and invest him crown prince as soon as possible.

With the convulsion of the nation,

the Palau de l'Est cannot remain empty.

I will take Prince Inha as my son and I will seat him on the throne.

it will kill me

will kill

He is a man

who killed his own son.

This means

that me too...

RABBIT

why are you hitting me

focus on

Dark thoughts will tear your heart apart.

What if a spirit slips through a crack?

You place the barrier.

I can barely see it. You have to do it all yourself.

further down

- Place it lower. - Yes, yes.

It's already down.

- I told you... - I'll let you pass because you can't see.

RABBIT

But why "rabbit"? And upside down, too.

The crown prince was born in the year of the rabbit.

With the character upside down,

his soul cannot cross the barrier without a body.

So he watches.

Unless you want it inside your body.

I couldn't help it the other day.

Hearing that your father killed his son

how do you want to not lose your mind?

I'll tell you again.

You have to get over yourself.

If you can't, stay close from someone you can trust.

there is someone

Someone I can trust.

Saeng-gang

where are you going

how are you

- You make a bad face. - I'm glad for her.

Are you leaving the palace?

I came to take care of Prince Yeongan,

but I can't do that anymore, can I?

With you and Gu-cheon here, his majesty is not in danger.

However,

the matter of the late crown prince…

hard to believe that has become a spirit, right?

This palace is a scary place.

Not suitable for an old lady like me.

It looks like a corpse.

He can't eat or talk.

A shaman is as if dead without its ruling deity.

oysters you we are there

accept me

I will be your new ruling deity.

Highness, Crown Prince!

what happened

the eyes

I don't see anything at all.

That damn shaman must have burned the object that cursed my eyes.

Maybe you have already hosted a new ruling deity.

So what do we do now?

Now that I can't see spirits,

it's over

Is there any way you can get your sight back?

There is one, but it's too dangerous.

Why?

It involves disturbing that which cannot be disturbed.

But if it's the only way…

let's do it

no

I would run away from the palace before.

If I hide, I will survive.

You don't see it. where do you want to go

In this situation,

you should run away with me

if we run away his majesty will send troops to kill us.

And I don't want to leave the palace again no fault of anything

like when she was little

If you don't help me, I will seek the prince's spirit myself.

I will find a way to save us by myself.

How do you plan to do it alone?

If the spirit approaches me,

i won't stop him

Do you know how dangerous this is?

- If he owns you... - That won't happen.

The crimes of his majesty they must prove themselves at all costs.

Yes you have lost your mind.

Have you noticed the look of the princess?

His look?

You didn't think so that she was tormented by a spirit?

Could it be that the spirit of the favorite lady of the court

was it still in the palace?

no

That guy Gu-cheon banished him, for sure.

I feel lighter.

This means that the grudge against me is gone.

But Prince Yeongan is dead,

and both his majesty and the princess they are sick

It could be that another spirit did you go after the king?

majesty

My shame blinded me.

Of all the sons of the late king,

why did only the current king survive?

How did he get survive the curse alone?

yes

There must be another reason.

There was a royal physician who examined the princes died 30 years ago.

find him

is he dead

yes majesty

I have sought the royal physician who served the princes 30 years ago.

A few years later,

he spat out black blood suddenly and died.

They are the same symptoms what did the princes have, didn't they?

He wasn't a spirit then

who pursued the royal lineage.

how

Where is Prince Iksang's son?

Prince Inha!

Get the doctor.

Yes ma'am!

What happens at these hours?

The Dowager Queen summons you, highness.

For what reason?

Prince Inha has fallen ill.

And why is he summoning me?

we found a box of sweets in his room.

It has the same design than the one you took to the dowager queen.

He says the prince has fallen ill after eating its contents.

Saeng-gang

Saeng-gang

Saeng-gang!

Saeng-gang

what's wrong with you Have you come to your senses?

what am i doing here

I should ask you that. You appeared and stayed here.

I should leave.

what is happening you can tell me

grandma

The father…

he wants to start over.

He wants to become the spirit of the pond.

The spirit of the pond?

Who killed his brothers 30 years ago…

it was the father

what…?

- What about...? - But he wants to do it again.

He intends to kill someone.

He has brought Prince Iksang's son and poisoned him.

It can't be.

I had a box with a lotus engraving on the chamber.

The mother also died

after eating sweets from a box like that.

- It's impossible. - No!

Grandma, you noticed too something strange, isn't it?

If you know anything, tell me. We have to stop the father no matter what.

if not,

we will have to make him abdicate.

forgive me

Has it disappeared?

what

Wasn't he here with you?

Where must he have gone?

Explain it to me from the beginning.

When Lady Jang told him that Prince Inha had fallen ill,

it has passed through the crowd and is gone.

They say she didn't look like herself,

as if he had lost his mind.

His spirit has weakened.

Do you know where the princess could be?

yes

With someone you can trust.

But…

that man, Gu-cheon, does he know?

no

Only I, who feel the spirits,

i know

lie

how

Saeng-gang

mother?

Sutras of Protection…

Get away from her.

Get away from it. Spirits don't exist.

One day, everyone will know that you are the spirit of the pond.

Looks like your mom is out.

When will you unfollow me? That's why he didn't want to come to the palace.

Is there

any other spirits out there?

Saeng-gang

Get away from her.

The snakeskin killed the dragon's son.

The snakeskin killed the dragon's son.

It's dangerous, Saeng-gang.

Excellency

No one can know anything about this poison.

When I was little...

you always visited us, after we were kicked out of the palace.

You brought food wrapped in fabrics and boxes.

Grandma, who poisoned mom...

was it you

exactly

You run out…

to drink the same.

Since the poison was weaker,

you will not die like princes.

You will remain motionless like a living corpse,

unable to speak for the rest of his life.

grandma,

the spirit of the pond was you.

- Highness! - Highness!

Highness!

- Highness! - Bring a stretcher!

Get the doctor!

- Highness! - Highness!

Highness!

I can't believe he died suddenly, while riding.

He had always been fragile.

The favorite lady swore to eradicate the royal line

and soon after the crown prince is also dead.

What a wonderful coincidence.

You have, Your Excellency.

No one can know anything about this poison.

Everyone must believe

that princes die by the curse of a spirit.

The spirit of the pond who cursed the royal family and died.

majesty

the queen,

which converted the favorite lady in a spirit,

she must be blamed.

THE SNAKE SKIN KILLED THE SON OF THE DRAGON

one of you has dishonored the royal house.

And…

when all the princes are dead…

my son

will be named heir.

I have to get rid of those

that can reveal the secret.

Anyone who can harm my child, without exceptions.

Is that why you killed mom too?

Just because he found out father's secret?

find out

Your mother was consorted with me from the beginning.

How, if not, would it have arrived to consort a simple commoner like your mother,

what was served in the palace kitchens?

Your father and your mother they helped me erect this reign.

you too

you are the product of that crime.

We have to stop it.

We must avoid

no other sacrifice.

There never was a spirit.

no spirit who wants to eradicate the royal line.

the king

He is the living ak-gwi.

We must stop the king.

Saeng-gang

So the spirits enter through here.

- Where did the princess go? - I don't know.

First you should…

He has thrown the amulet.

It has collapsed.

What crime did you commit? for fearing the spirits so much

what did you put protection sutras on all doors?

Answer me!

what have you done

than your daughter has he given himself over to a spirit?

what is this

A straw effigy. He will suffer bad fortune in my place.

Instead of you?

- What do you want...? - Hang it exactly where I told you.

And what will you do in the meantime?

I will go save the princess.

I warned her not to let herself be dominated.

It can't be cuter.

How should I look?

Cursed be my fate.

RABBIT

Help her, please.

My Saeng-gang.

Help her, please.
