1
00:00:18,852 --> 00:00:20,978
This is such a precious thing.
2
00:00:20,979 --> 00:00:23,398
- Are you really giving it to me?
- Yes.
3
00:00:25,817 --> 00:00:27,109
Let him be.
4
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:28,820
He is simply delighted.
5
00:00:32,782 --> 00:00:33,616
Cousin Yun.
6
00:00:34,409 --> 00:00:37,495
Have you ever seen the map
drawn by the Italian, Matteo Ricci?
7
00:00:38,621 --> 00:00:42,250
It took me quite some time
to find Joseon upon it.
8
00:00:43,334 --> 00:00:45,794
Joseon, which had always seemed
so vast and unmistakable,
9
00:00:45,795 --> 00:00:47,422
suddenly felt so small.
10
00:00:48,423 --> 00:00:50,383
It filled me with a sudden fear.
11
00:00:51,551 --> 00:00:54,386
How small must I be,
12
00:00:54,387 --> 00:00:56,389
living in one corner of Hwaseong?
13
00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:14,240
A letter!
14
00:01:15,283 --> 00:01:16,366
Over here!
15
00:01:16,367 --> 00:01:18,660
It is for the young lady
of Vice Minister Cho's house!
16
00:01:18,661 --> 00:01:19,496
Yes.
17
00:01:20,121 --> 00:01:21,830
I unfolded the map
18
00:01:21,831 --> 00:01:24,250
drawn in Joseon centuries ago.
19
00:01:25,418 --> 00:01:27,337
By the standards of Western learning,
20
00:01:27,879 --> 00:01:30,590
the size of Joseon upon it
is plainly wrong.
21
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:35,344
And yet, I found myself wondering,
22
00:01:35,345 --> 00:01:36,888
"Is it truly wrong?"
23
00:01:37,764 --> 00:01:40,057
Perhaps they merely wished to capture
24
00:01:40,058 --> 00:01:42,393
the hearts of those
who stood upon this small land.
25
00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:46,688
And so, through the two different Joseons
drawn upon these maps,
26
00:01:46,689 --> 00:01:47,982
I came to realize something.
27
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:51,236
Whether it be large or small,
28
00:01:51,903 --> 00:01:53,821
we see the world through our own eyes,
29
00:01:53,822 --> 00:01:56,825
and they through theirs.
30
00:01:58,785 --> 00:02:02,831
Just as I am simply me,
and you are simply you.
31
00:02:05,542 --> 00:02:06,417
What do you think?
32
00:02:07,502 --> 00:02:09,129
You may call it sophistry,
33
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:13,758
yet I am most curious to hear what you,
my literary friend, make of it.
34
00:02:14,884 --> 00:02:16,219
I shall await your reply.
35
00:02:23,184 --> 00:02:25,937
Keep your blade firm. Straight and strong.
36
00:02:26,604 --> 00:02:28,772
Uphold the way of a gentleman.
37
00:02:28,773 --> 00:02:29,774
Do you understand?
38
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:49,794
Straight
39
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:52,297
and strong.
40
00:02:53,131 --> 00:02:54,090
Straight
41
00:02:54,883 --> 00:02:55,800
and strong.
42
00:02:56,467 --> 00:02:57,302
Strong.
43
00:02:59,679 --> 00:03:01,598
I lost my father so suddenly,
44
00:03:02,432 --> 00:03:04,976
and there is no stopping
this grief that rises within me.
45
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:08,521
I need my father.
46
00:03:10,106 --> 00:03:13,359
I wished to become
the sort of son he would be proud of,
47
00:03:14,402 --> 00:03:15,570
but now it is too late.
48
00:03:16,571 --> 00:03:17,405
Cousin Yun.
49
00:03:18,364 --> 00:03:19,908
What am I to do?
50
00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:24,954
I am only sorry
that I cannot fully fathom your pain.
51
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:27,040
But Won,
52
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:31,669
the person Uncle wished you to become
is not the only true answer.
53
00:03:32,545 --> 00:03:34,380
I felt I had to tell you that myself.
54
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,050
Rather than chasing after
another's footsteps,
55
00:03:38,051 --> 00:03:39,802
you must find yourself.
56
00:03:40,887 --> 00:03:44,057
Though my words
may not reach your heart just yet.
57
00:03:46,267 --> 00:03:47,685
"I am me,
58
00:03:49,103 --> 00:03:50,146
and you are you."
59
00:03:57,820 --> 00:04:02,325
THE SCANDAL
60
00:04:09,999 --> 00:04:11,834
How indecent.
61
00:04:17,924 --> 00:04:18,800
Madam.
62
00:04:19,342 --> 00:04:23,429
Lady Cho, the wife of Minister Yoo,
is here to see you.
63
00:04:26,057 --> 00:04:27,475
Send her in.
64
00:04:31,104 --> 00:04:33,106
Though it bears no dye,
65
00:04:33,731 --> 00:04:35,483
it shines so splendidly.
66
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:39,946
I must say, this silk resembles you.
67
00:04:40,989 --> 00:04:43,658
The tobacco you sent last night
was more than enough,
68
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:46,160
yet you bring this as well.
69
00:04:47,203 --> 00:04:48,746
Thank you.
70
00:04:51,499 --> 00:04:53,668
I shall treasure it.
71
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:56,045
You are too gracious.
72
00:04:57,005 --> 00:04:59,048
I am deeply humbled by your words.
73
00:04:59,674 --> 00:05:03,552
Though truthfully,
I could not sleep all night for fear
74
00:05:03,553 --> 00:05:06,680
you may have been displeased
by my cousin's misconduct.
75
00:05:06,681 --> 00:05:07,682
Just as I thought.
76
00:05:09,058 --> 00:05:12,729
Even between cousins,
it could not have been an easy decision.
77
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:16,815
Since you are a lady
who knows propriety and decorum,
78
00:05:16,816 --> 00:05:18,985
you chose the late hour to inform me,
79
00:05:19,610 --> 00:05:21,446
the Left State Councilor,
80
00:05:22,196 --> 00:05:24,657
and our In-ho quietly of the matter.
81
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:26,367
Especially
82
00:05:27,285 --> 00:05:29,787
with a widowed daughter-in-law
in this household.
83
00:05:31,664 --> 00:05:33,041
Thank you, Lady Cho.
84
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,876
Thanks to you,
85
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,048
I summoned In-ho
at the crack of dawn and firmly warned him
86
00:05:41,215 --> 00:05:43,051
not to trouble your cousin further.
87
00:05:44,218 --> 00:05:47,220
One's studies ought to be pursued
by one's own efforts.
88
00:05:47,221 --> 00:05:48,931
Hearing you say so
89
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,976
finally puts my mind at ease, however…
90
00:05:56,105 --> 00:05:57,148
What's the matter?
91
00:06:02,737 --> 00:06:07,240
I wish to believe your daughter-in-law
shall handle the matter wisely,
92
00:06:07,241 --> 00:06:10,286
but I must regretfully say my cousin
93
00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:13,581
is no ordinary man.
94
00:06:14,165 --> 00:06:15,582
I know.
95
00:06:15,583 --> 00:06:17,377
I know that very well indeed.
96
00:06:19,003 --> 00:06:23,548
With a face so excessively handsome,
97
00:06:23,549 --> 00:06:25,885
how could anyone fail to suspect as much?
98
00:06:28,930 --> 00:06:30,681
Which is why I say this.
99
00:06:32,517 --> 00:06:35,978
In the end,
they are but a young man and woman.
100
00:06:37,522 --> 00:06:41,567
Even two shadows lose their boundaries
beneath the lamplight.
101
00:06:43,194 --> 00:06:44,654
Would it not be safer
102
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,198
to keep them apart,
even by force if necessary,
103
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:50,076
so they never cross paths?
104
00:06:56,749 --> 00:06:58,918
Forgive me. That was presumptuous of me.
105
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:17,728
Come now!
106
00:07:21,691 --> 00:07:23,609
There is no need for that.
107
00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:29,615
You embarrass me by doing so.
108
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:31,492
Goodness.
109
00:07:32,118 --> 00:07:35,829
If my husband learned of this,
I should never hear the end of it.
110
00:07:35,830 --> 00:07:38,081
Raise your head.
111
00:07:38,082 --> 00:07:39,375
Come now.
112
00:07:44,797 --> 00:07:46,716
Right, that reminds me.
113
00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:49,802
How fares Minister Yoo these days?
114
00:07:50,386 --> 00:07:53,264
He merely awaits a summons
115
00:07:54,015 --> 00:07:55,600
from the Left State Councilor.
116
00:08:14,243 --> 00:08:15,953
My lady!
117
00:08:19,165 --> 00:08:19,999
My lady.
118
00:08:22,251 --> 00:08:23,127
My lady.
119
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:28,216
The Left State Councilor has invited me
120
00:08:29,217 --> 00:08:30,760
to the gathering of the ministers.
121
00:08:32,136 --> 00:08:33,804
Do you know how long it has been?
122
00:08:35,848 --> 00:08:36,807
My lord.
123
00:08:37,308 --> 00:08:41,395
It would seem the Left State Councilor
has not forgotten your capabilities.
124
00:08:42,605 --> 00:08:44,315
It is all thanks to you.
125
00:08:45,733 --> 00:08:47,442
You have paid your respects
126
00:08:47,443 --> 00:08:49,611
to the Lady of the First Rank
almost every day.
127
00:08:49,612 --> 00:08:51,071
I am well aware of it.
128
00:08:51,072 --> 00:08:53,866
How could that possibly be my doing?
129
00:08:55,159 --> 00:08:56,077
My lady.
130
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:08,297
My lady.
131
00:09:10,258 --> 00:09:11,133
Well…
132
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:13,719
In truth,
133
00:09:15,346 --> 00:09:17,139
I know as well.
134
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:20,685
That the lack of an heir in this house
135
00:09:21,769 --> 00:09:23,688
is entirely because of me.
136
00:09:24,855 --> 00:09:26,649
Though I knew it to be futile,
137
00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:29,110
I still brought in a concubine.
138
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:35,116
Yet I fear I may fail
to fulfill your wish nonetheless.
139
00:09:35,658 --> 00:09:39,453
All the while, you have done nothing
but strive for my sake.
140
00:09:43,207 --> 00:09:45,793
My lord, you must not say such things.
141
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:49,839
So-ok shall prove it.
142
00:09:51,007 --> 00:09:55,428
You shall most certainly have an heir.
143
00:09:58,556 --> 00:09:59,390
My lady.
144
00:10:09,275 --> 00:10:12,278
Yes. If you say so, then so it shall be.
145
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,239
I shall prove yet
146
00:10:15,865 --> 00:10:17,867
that I am still a vigorous man!
147
00:10:18,618 --> 00:10:22,246
- You will hurt yourself! Put me down!
- I am not so frail yet!
148
00:10:29,795 --> 00:10:31,505
- My lady.
- Please put me down now.
149
00:11:05,790 --> 00:11:06,707
Mind your step.
150
00:11:15,549 --> 00:11:16,759
Forgive me.
151
00:11:17,343 --> 00:11:18,344
No, wait…
152
00:11:22,264 --> 00:11:23,182
You…
153
00:11:23,891 --> 00:11:24,767
Yes?
154
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:31,190
Where are you going?
155
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:33,858
Nowhere.
156
00:11:33,859 --> 00:11:35,694
I merely stepped out
157
00:11:35,695 --> 00:11:37,988
because they said
the moon was lovely tonight.
158
00:11:44,412 --> 00:11:45,329
And who was it
159
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,166
you meant to meet
on such a lovely moonlit night?
160
00:11:50,167 --> 00:11:51,836
- No, it is not that--
- Hush!
161
00:11:54,130 --> 00:11:55,131
And still you persist?
162
00:11:57,091 --> 00:11:59,927
Young Master In-ho.
163
00:12:25,453 --> 00:12:28,122
This is a rough sketch
based on what I saw in a book.
164
00:12:28,748 --> 00:12:29,874
It is an alarm clock.
165
00:12:31,292 --> 00:12:33,961
A thing that lets one see the time.
166
00:12:34,462 --> 00:12:37,131
This would be about
a quarter of an hour past 9 p.m.
167
00:12:37,673 --> 00:12:39,884
The single drumbeat earlier
signaled 7 p.m.,
168
00:12:40,551 --> 00:12:42,093
so it should be about here.
169
00:12:42,094 --> 00:12:42,970
Before long,
170
00:12:44,096 --> 00:12:45,306
the 9 p.m. drum will sound.
171
00:12:48,893 --> 00:12:51,937
I shall be listening from here as well,
but I must not miss it.
172
00:12:52,521 --> 00:12:55,732
Go stand outside the gate,
and when you hear the drum strike twice,
173
00:12:55,733 --> 00:12:57,109
come tell me at once.
174
00:12:57,860 --> 00:12:58,694
Yes, sir.
175
00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:00,988
Two drumbeats.
176
00:13:01,572 --> 00:13:02,655
My lord!
177
00:13:02,656 --> 00:13:04,492
So you meant to meet
178
00:13:05,868 --> 00:13:08,621
when these hands
stretched straight across?
179
00:13:09,246 --> 00:13:10,330
Yes.
180
00:13:10,331 --> 00:13:13,208
I am so dumbfounded
I scarcely know what to say.
181
00:13:13,209 --> 00:13:15,126
Forgive me, my lord!
182
00:13:15,127 --> 00:13:16,545
Let me explain.
183
00:13:22,885 --> 00:13:24,345
It is only proper
184
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,558
that I tell my cousin
and my brother-in-law of this matter.
185
00:13:30,601 --> 00:13:32,186
Yet if I uphold propriety,
186
00:13:32,853 --> 00:13:35,022
I betray my loyalty to Young Master In-ho.
187
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,860
And if I keep faith with him,
I stray from propriety.
188
00:13:40,736 --> 00:13:42,613
Huh? Hold a moment.
189
00:13:43,781 --> 00:13:45,157
Why did you come out so early?
190
00:13:47,451 --> 00:13:48,285
Pardon?
191
00:13:54,583 --> 00:13:57,460
I happen to know how alarm clocks work.
192
00:13:57,461 --> 00:13:58,795
For these hands
193
00:13:58,796 --> 00:14:02,716
to stretch straight across like this,
there is still quite some time left.
194
00:14:06,554 --> 00:14:07,847
But I could swear earlier…
195
00:14:08,973 --> 00:14:10,766
You do not even know how to read it?
196
00:14:11,517 --> 00:14:13,477
No, I do know how.
197
00:14:15,312 --> 00:14:16,647
You most certainly do not.
198
00:14:18,357 --> 00:14:19,483
I tell you, I do…
199
00:14:21,068 --> 00:14:23,237
But today,
200
00:14:24,446 --> 00:14:27,491
my mind is troubled
by rather distressing matters.
201
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:30,578
So I shall pretend
202
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:33,414
I saw nothing of your affair.
203
00:14:38,294 --> 00:14:39,627
Will you, really?
204
00:14:39,628 --> 00:14:40,462
In return,
205
00:14:41,130 --> 00:14:43,132
do not wander about and invite trouble.
206
00:14:43,757 --> 00:14:45,009
Until the appointed hour,
207
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:49,345
stay shut away in your room
and read Elementary Learning aloud.
208
00:14:49,346 --> 00:14:52,099
I shall be outside listening for it.
209
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,603
Elementary Learning?
210
00:14:56,604 --> 00:14:58,022
Do you not know of it?
211
00:14:58,606 --> 00:15:00,315
No, I know it.
212
00:15:00,316 --> 00:15:01,941
I do, but…
213
00:15:01,942 --> 00:15:02,860
But what?
214
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,903
Well…
215
00:15:04,904 --> 00:15:06,405
I shall go to my cousin…
216
00:15:06,906 --> 00:15:08,531
I am going.
217
00:15:08,532 --> 00:15:09,700
I am going, my lord.
218
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,667
Young Master In-ho? Now hold a moment.
219
00:15:19,501 --> 00:15:23,088
That means In-ho and So-ok…
220
00:15:24,256 --> 00:15:25,716
Good grief.
221
00:15:26,842 --> 00:15:27,927
What a complete mess.
222
00:15:42,232 --> 00:15:44,318
Young master, it is 9 p.m.
223
00:16:14,348 --> 00:16:18,893
"Once a girl reaches the age of 10,
she must not venture outside."
224
00:16:18,894 --> 00:16:23,189
"She must meekly heed the teachings
of her mother and teacher,
225
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:25,651
tend hemp and ramie…
226
00:16:31,407 --> 00:16:33,992
raise silkworms, reel silk,
227
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:37,162
weave silk, and braid silk sashes…"
228
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:51,510
I was reading it! I was!
229
00:17:00,060 --> 00:17:01,729
Young master…
230
00:17:17,911 --> 00:17:18,746
What?
231
00:17:25,252 --> 00:17:26,211
Oh, surely not.
232
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,715
Did he really leave
just because I was a little bit late?
233
00:17:47,316 --> 00:17:48,317
Miss…
234
00:17:55,449 --> 00:17:57,408
Why were you not there last night?
235
00:17:57,409 --> 00:17:58,243
Pardon?
236
00:17:59,411 --> 00:18:00,245
No, I…
237
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,414
I most certainly was there.
238
00:18:03,415 --> 00:18:04,416
Of course you were.
239
00:18:05,334 --> 00:18:07,002
You could not wait even a moment.
240
00:18:09,463 --> 00:18:12,299
Very well. The fault was entirely mine.
241
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,510
I have committed
a most unforgivable offense!
242
00:18:15,511 --> 00:18:18,305
No, I did not mean it was your fault.
243
00:18:20,140 --> 00:18:21,350
You thought
244
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:24,728
you could simply disregard a girl like me.
245
00:18:25,354 --> 00:18:27,605
Disregard? That is ridiculous.
246
00:18:27,606 --> 00:18:29,525
- It is completely untrue.
- No, it is not!
247
00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:32,653
You look down on me
because I am but a concubine!
248
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:46,667
What do you mean, a concubine?
249
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:49,128
Pardon?
250
00:19:29,084 --> 00:19:30,878
- My lord.
- Yes.
251
00:19:51,940 --> 00:19:55,527
His Majesty summoned me
on a matter of great importance.
252
00:19:57,362 --> 00:20:00,699
On my way back from the palace,
I bought this for you.
253
00:20:01,408 --> 00:20:03,285
Oh, it is yakgwa.
254
00:20:04,369 --> 00:20:06,330
Thank you, my lord.
255
00:20:06,955 --> 00:20:07,789
Of course.
256
00:20:13,170 --> 00:20:14,463
- Say, "ah."
- "Ah."
257
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:25,640
Now,
258
00:20:25,641 --> 00:20:29,560
I must leave Bukchon for a short while.
259
00:20:29,561 --> 00:20:30,437
Pardon?
260
00:20:30,979 --> 00:20:32,648
It should not take long.
261
00:20:33,273 --> 00:20:34,482
So while I am away,
262
00:20:34,483 --> 00:20:38,278
learn well the proper conduct of a lady
under my lady's guidance.
263
00:20:40,614 --> 00:20:41,865
Once I return,
264
00:20:42,741 --> 00:20:45,202
I shall make you my concubine at once.
Do you understand?
265
00:20:45,702 --> 00:20:46,702
Really?
266
00:20:46,703 --> 00:20:47,746
Yes.
267
00:20:48,372 --> 00:20:50,374
Thank you, my lord.
268
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,426
This wretched hat…
269
00:21:10,852 --> 00:21:14,147
His Majesty is holding Lady Hyegyeong's
60th birthday banquet in Hwaseong,
270
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:16,942
and the matter has been entrusted to me.
271
00:21:18,860 --> 00:21:20,861
I shall show you without fail.
272
00:21:20,862 --> 00:21:22,698
That I can firmly uphold the position
273
00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:25,742
you have restored to me.
274
00:21:35,544 --> 00:21:36,420
Dear cousin.
275
00:21:37,379 --> 00:21:39,297
While your brother-in-law is away,
276
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:42,258
why not stay here for a time?
277
00:21:42,259 --> 00:21:44,803
I imagine there is much you wish to ask.
278
00:21:47,514 --> 00:21:50,434
What did the widow say?
279
00:21:51,768 --> 00:21:53,770
How should I know?
280
00:21:54,271 --> 00:21:56,648
Since sending that filthy letter,
281
00:21:57,232 --> 00:22:00,694
I have not seen
so much as the hem of her skirt.
282
00:22:01,862 --> 00:22:02,696
Then again,
283
00:22:03,697 --> 00:22:06,783
who could possibly know
the state of her heart now?
284
00:22:08,535 --> 00:22:11,496
I only hope she has not altogether
lost her senses.
285
00:22:13,498 --> 00:22:14,374
Well,
286
00:22:15,083 --> 00:22:16,209
who knows?
287
00:22:16,835 --> 00:22:18,545
She may have lost her senses so completely
288
00:22:19,254 --> 00:22:21,590
that she secretly indulges in that letter.
289
00:22:42,819 --> 00:22:45,072
I must become a refined woman now.
290
00:22:46,323 --> 00:22:49,492
My So-ok has become a lady of Bukchon,
291
00:22:49,493 --> 00:22:51,202
so I too must rise to the occasion.
292
00:22:51,203 --> 00:22:52,245
Oh, my goodness.
293
00:22:52,829 --> 00:22:55,289
You are more innocent than I thought.
294
00:22:55,290 --> 00:22:59,543
If you knew how the ladies of Bukchon
truly amuse themselves,
295
00:22:59,544 --> 00:23:00,795
you would faint away.
296
00:23:00,796 --> 00:23:02,338
What does that matter?
297
00:23:02,339 --> 00:23:03,382
Have you heard?
298
00:23:03,924 --> 00:23:06,300
Choi was cast out
of the Chief State Councilor's house.
299
00:23:06,301 --> 00:23:09,513
I heard the councilor warned him
never to set foot in Bukchon again.
300
00:23:10,472 --> 00:23:12,348
What on earth did he do?
301
00:23:12,349 --> 00:23:13,934
The youngest son of that house
302
00:23:15,644 --> 00:23:17,645
turned out to be left-handed.
303
00:23:17,646 --> 00:23:20,148
Just like Choi.
304
00:23:20,857 --> 00:23:22,734
It was his seed, then?
305
00:23:23,276 --> 00:23:25,444
My, my.
306
00:23:25,445 --> 00:23:28,572
What sort of place is Bukchon
307
00:23:28,573 --> 00:23:30,951
that such amusing scandals
break out every day?
308
00:23:34,287 --> 00:23:37,540
Madam, Lord Cho Won is here.
309
00:23:37,541 --> 00:23:38,917
Yes, send him in…
310
00:23:39,543 --> 00:23:40,793
What?
311
00:23:40,794 --> 00:23:42,921
What… What did you say?
312
00:23:51,888 --> 00:23:52,722
My lord.
313
00:23:54,015 --> 00:23:57,644
It seems the tobacco
I let you sample pleased you after all.
314
00:23:58,603 --> 00:24:01,022
I could not forget the taste,
so I came for more.
315
00:24:02,774 --> 00:24:05,819
Yet amidst the fragrance of flowers
in full bloom here,
316
00:24:08,989 --> 00:24:11,783
I can hardly recall the scent
of the tobacco I meant to buy.
317
00:24:13,076 --> 00:24:13,952
Oh, my.
318
00:24:15,078 --> 00:24:16,204
Off with you now.
319
00:24:17,330 --> 00:24:19,082
I must attend to my esteemed guest.
320
00:24:22,210 --> 00:24:23,545
Bun-hui.
321
00:24:27,841 --> 00:24:29,801
Go on now. Quickly.
322
00:24:53,783 --> 00:24:56,327
It has been so long
since I sent that letter.
323
00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:58,455
When you did not come to see me,
324
00:24:59,706 --> 00:25:02,125
I thought my heart would break.
325
00:25:04,669 --> 00:25:07,214
So that is why you dared send
such an audacious letter
326
00:25:07,964 --> 00:25:09,674
without a shred of fear.
327
00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:20,851
Did you not once say you liked me
because I feared nothing?
328
00:25:20,852 --> 00:25:24,606
That is how I came to be held
so tightly in your arms.
329
00:25:25,106 --> 00:25:26,525
And in the end,
330
00:25:27,317 --> 00:25:30,445
was it not that very letter
that brought you back to me now?
331
00:25:35,867 --> 00:25:36,868
You…
332
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:42,040
You do not realize what you are scribbling
with that reckless brush of yours,
333
00:25:43,041 --> 00:25:44,334
or how greatly
334
00:25:45,377 --> 00:25:47,753
that scrap of paper might trouble me.
335
00:25:47,754 --> 00:25:49,714
You never pause to think of such things.
336
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:56,638
Bun-hui.
337
00:25:59,349 --> 00:26:00,808
It is
338
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:04,312
that long, wet tongue of yours
that always worries me.
339
00:26:09,317 --> 00:26:12,195
Wag it carelessly, and it may well
tighten the noose around your own neck.
340
00:26:13,697 --> 00:26:14,614
And yet
341
00:26:15,782 --> 00:26:19,619
all you care for
is indulging yourself in the thrill of it.
342
00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:28,086
You speak as though
your very life hung upon my little letter.
343
00:26:34,217 --> 00:26:35,677
Bun-hui.
344
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,763
If you care at all for your daughter,
345
00:26:40,307 --> 00:26:43,143
then from now on
you must at least feign modesty.
346
00:26:46,438 --> 00:26:48,314
Only then may you peek over the walls
347
00:26:48,315 --> 00:26:50,525
of the scholar-official households
you so admire.
348
00:26:51,234 --> 00:26:52,777
And only then may you set foot
349
00:26:53,695 --> 00:26:56,573
in the gatherings
of those noblewomen you envy so dearly.
350
00:27:04,581 --> 00:27:08,084
If you wish to enter Bukchon,
351
00:27:11,963 --> 00:27:13,381
you must pretend
352
00:27:14,674 --> 00:27:16,301
not to hear what you hear,
353
00:27:19,179 --> 00:27:20,513
and not to see what you see.
354
00:27:38,239 --> 00:27:39,532
Keep that in mind, Bun-hui.
355
00:27:58,176 --> 00:28:00,553
My lord! Forgive me.
356
00:28:01,513 --> 00:28:02,888
Forgive me.
357
00:28:02,889 --> 00:28:04,890
My mother is poor with the brush,
358
00:28:04,891 --> 00:28:06,934
so I always copy her letters in the end.
359
00:28:06,935 --> 00:28:09,771
If the letter displeased you,
I apologize in her stead.
360
00:28:10,939 --> 00:28:13,524
This matter
shall never pass beyond these walls
361
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:15,734
for as long as I live.
362
00:28:15,735 --> 00:28:17,487
I swear it to you, my lord.
363
00:28:19,447 --> 00:28:20,323
Your mother…
364
00:28:22,659 --> 00:28:26,913
had you, her own daughter,
copy such a letter for her?
365
00:28:32,544 --> 00:28:34,087
She is not my birth mother.
366
00:28:34,921 --> 00:28:38,340
She still stands in my mother's place,
so I had no choice but to copy it.
367
00:28:38,341 --> 00:28:41,428
But that woman is so filthy
I wish I had nothing to do with her.
368
00:28:58,820 --> 00:28:59,946
Your mother
369
00:29:00,905 --> 00:29:03,366
seems to know paintings rather well.
370
00:29:04,075 --> 00:29:05,784
Do you have an eye for them as well?
371
00:29:05,785 --> 00:29:06,619
Pardon?
372
00:29:08,371 --> 00:29:10,539
I know little of what is fine or poor.
373
00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:12,917
I only know what fetches a price.
374
00:29:14,627 --> 00:29:15,545
Is that so?
375
00:29:16,796 --> 00:29:19,716
Then what do you think of this painting?
376
00:29:20,675 --> 00:29:22,427
Would it fetch a handsome sum?
377
00:29:25,096 --> 00:29:28,265
The peonies seem to be swaying
in the spring breeze,
378
00:29:28,266 --> 00:29:31,478
so lifelike that their fragrance
seems to rise from them.
379
00:29:33,062 --> 00:29:36,523
And this little bud hidden behind the leaf
380
00:29:36,524 --> 00:29:40,445
is so charming,
it makes one wish to tap it with a finger.
381
00:29:43,531 --> 00:29:46,909
My lord has long been away from court,
and the affair entrusted to him
382
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:48,745
is of the utmost importance.
383
00:30:00,882 --> 00:30:01,758
Here.
384
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:04,343
If you and I were to finish
385
00:30:04,344 --> 00:30:07,721
this peony painting together
and present it to him upon his return,
386
00:30:07,722 --> 00:30:10,350
it would be
a most wonderful act of devotion.
387
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:16,188
Your handwriting was so firm and elegant
388
00:30:16,189 --> 00:30:18,191
that I greatly admired it.
389
00:30:18,775 --> 00:30:21,820
Fill it with your writing.
Anything you wish.
390
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:53,935
THE PEONIES IN FULL BLOSSOM…
391
00:31:01,192 --> 00:31:04,237
THE PEONIES IN FULL BLOSSOM,
HOW COULD THEY BE…
392
00:31:06,447 --> 00:31:08,533
This handwriting feels different.
393
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:12,203
Quite unlike the one you used
for Elementary Learning.
394
00:31:12,829 --> 00:31:15,623
To think you could instantly fashion
an entirely new style
395
00:31:16,124 --> 00:31:18,501
so well suited to this peony painting.
396
00:31:19,878 --> 00:31:23,256
It seems I have brought
quite a remarkable lady into my household.
397
00:31:33,349 --> 00:31:34,851
I deserve to die!
398
00:31:35,435 --> 00:31:37,103
Please have mercy on me, my lady!
399
00:31:38,438 --> 00:31:42,107
In truth, it was not I who wrote it.
400
00:31:42,108 --> 00:31:44,110
Young Master In-ho wrote it for me.
401
00:31:47,071 --> 00:31:50,908
You mean Young Master Kwon In-ho
of the Left State Councilor's house?
402
00:31:50,909 --> 00:31:52,493
Please spare me… No.
403
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:55,580
Just kill me instead.
How dare a mere concubine…
404
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:02,378
But it is all over now.
405
00:32:03,630 --> 00:32:06,840
The young master
already learned that I am a concubine,
406
00:32:06,841 --> 00:32:07,717
so…
407
00:32:08,509 --> 00:32:09,636
So…
408
00:32:17,018 --> 00:32:18,311
Poor thing.
409
00:32:19,854 --> 00:32:23,399
Your heart must have been heavy,
preparing to give yourself to my lord
410
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:26,110
while carrying feelings for another.
411
00:32:32,075 --> 00:32:33,283
My lady.
412
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:35,118
And after learning who you were,
413
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:37,454
did Young Master In-ho
pretend not to know you?
414
00:32:37,455 --> 00:32:41,209
I have not seen him since.
415
00:32:48,883 --> 00:32:53,471
I fear your heart, delicate as a flower,
may have been wounded.
416
00:32:58,309 --> 00:33:02,897
As long as you do not neglect
your duty in serving my lord,
417
00:33:03,898 --> 00:33:06,192
I can overlook such a matter.
418
00:33:08,778 --> 00:33:11,948
I know well enough how harsh life can be
419
00:33:12,448 --> 00:33:13,950
for a woman in Bukchon.
420
00:33:15,994 --> 00:33:17,161
My lady.
421
00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:22,749
But surely no one else knows of this?
422
00:33:22,750 --> 00:33:24,043
No one besides Mal-ttong…
423
00:33:27,505 --> 00:33:28,840
In truth,
424
00:33:29,966 --> 00:33:32,468
Lord Cho Won knows a little of it as well.
425
00:33:37,557 --> 00:33:38,558
Oh, dear!
426
00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:45,189
Go to him.
427
00:33:45,732 --> 00:33:46,648
Pardon?
428
00:33:46,649 --> 00:33:48,317
Go and plead your case to him.
429
00:33:50,111 --> 00:33:51,779
He is a man who knows spring.
430
00:33:53,698 --> 00:33:56,159
If he hears your heartfelt plea,
431
00:33:57,035 --> 00:34:00,412
he shall surely turn a blind eye,
no matter his relation to my husband.
432
00:34:00,413 --> 00:34:04,333
Do you truly think so?
433
00:34:05,334 --> 00:34:06,502
Who knows?
434
00:34:07,587 --> 00:34:11,716
He may even become a bridge
between you and Young Master In-ho.
435
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:39,202
My lord.
436
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:44,498
Well, there is something I must tell you.
437
00:34:44,499 --> 00:34:45,333
Now?
438
00:34:46,542 --> 00:34:47,376
Yes.
439
00:34:51,339 --> 00:34:52,215
Very well.
440
00:35:03,476 --> 00:35:04,435
A favor, you say?
441
00:35:05,895 --> 00:35:08,189
Then this may take some time.
442
00:35:10,817 --> 00:35:11,734
Would it be wise
443
00:35:12,568 --> 00:35:14,695
to leave your shoes outside so plainly?
444
00:35:15,696 --> 00:35:16,572
Huh?
445
00:35:20,201 --> 00:35:21,160
What I mean is,
446
00:35:23,121 --> 00:35:27,208
should anyone see you here,
would that not pose a problem?
447
00:35:41,097 --> 00:35:42,098
My lord.
448
00:35:52,567 --> 00:35:54,402
The young master has learned
449
00:35:54,986 --> 00:35:56,778
that I am a concubine in this house.
450
00:35:56,779 --> 00:35:59,407
- You had hidden it from him?
- Not deliberately.
451
00:36:00,449 --> 00:36:01,325
In any case,
452
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:06,497
what should I write
to earn his forgiveness?
453
00:36:07,582 --> 00:36:09,125
Well, you…
454
00:36:11,335 --> 00:36:13,671
You do resemble her somewhat.
455
00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:15,423
Whom?
456
00:36:20,303 --> 00:36:21,596
Someone I know.
457
00:36:22,388 --> 00:36:23,555
How shall I put it?
458
00:36:23,556 --> 00:36:25,474
A true master in such matters, perhaps?
459
00:36:27,185 --> 00:36:28,019
A true master?
460
00:36:32,857 --> 00:36:34,233
"How could you…
461
00:36:36,903 --> 00:36:40,156
leave after merely brushing my shoulder?"
462
00:36:44,493 --> 00:36:47,747
"Thoughts of you leave me breathless…
463
00:36:49,832 --> 00:36:51,417
and I spent the night
464
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,420
thoroughly drenched."
465
00:36:55,004 --> 00:36:56,214
"Breath…"
466
00:36:57,215 --> 00:36:58,633
My lord.
467
00:37:01,594 --> 00:37:03,930
How does one write "breathless"?
468
00:37:05,056 --> 00:37:07,516
Is there an "E" after "T-H"?
469
00:37:15,733 --> 00:37:16,734
Good.
470
00:37:21,822 --> 00:37:23,199
You are writing it correctly.
471
00:37:33,251 --> 00:37:35,670
"My thighs seem to part
of their own accord…
472
00:37:40,258 --> 00:37:44,053
yet there are no great hands
to spread them further."
473
00:37:47,932 --> 00:37:48,849
"Tonight…
474
00:37:53,062 --> 00:37:55,231
I long for you, young master."
475
00:38:09,495 --> 00:38:10,913
"When next we meet…
476
00:38:16,377 --> 00:38:18,963
scold this drenched little thing of mine."
477
00:38:28,014 --> 00:38:29,640
"I beg of you."
478
00:39:01,881 --> 00:39:02,757
Now…
479
00:39:05,343 --> 00:39:06,844
what will you do next?
480
00:39:10,264 --> 00:39:13,059
Pretend I am Young Master In-ho
and show me.
481
00:39:14,393 --> 00:39:18,105
What must be done to soothe his anger?
482
00:39:53,349 --> 00:39:54,392
Young master.
483
00:40:05,861 --> 00:40:07,321
It is I, So-ok.
484
00:40:09,782 --> 00:40:10,741
Young master.
485
00:40:14,995 --> 00:40:15,996
Young…
486
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:17,665
Wait.
487
00:40:19,041 --> 00:40:21,043
Do not go, young master!
488
00:40:24,255 --> 00:40:25,423
Miss!
489
00:40:26,757 --> 00:40:27,883
What…
490
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,888
- What manner of madness is this?
- It is I, So-ok.
491
00:40:33,389 --> 00:40:35,433
- So-ok.
- A concubine?
492
00:40:39,562 --> 00:40:41,856
From the day I could no longer see you,
493
00:40:43,315 --> 00:40:46,777
I have not slept a wink
for thoughts of you.
494
00:40:48,779 --> 00:40:49,613
Miss.
495
00:40:53,492 --> 00:40:56,412
There is not
a shred of falsehood in those words,
496
00:40:57,371 --> 00:40:58,372
I believe?
497
00:41:02,626 --> 00:41:03,461
Yes.
498
00:41:21,270 --> 00:41:22,438
I have been the same.
499
00:41:23,397 --> 00:41:24,732
I too…
500
00:41:31,530 --> 00:41:33,199
have spent…
501
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:38,161
sleepless nights in agony,
502
00:41:38,162 --> 00:41:40,623
my heart torn apart by thoughts of you.
503
00:42:28,003 --> 00:42:30,339
This night of ours…
504
00:42:32,967 --> 00:42:34,927
that we tucked away…
505
00:42:37,721 --> 00:42:39,056
in such longing…
506
00:42:41,559 --> 00:42:44,186
I wish to unfold it here and now.
507
00:42:47,648 --> 00:42:49,483
Then do so, young master.
508
00:42:52,653 --> 00:42:54,613
Unfold it as you please.
509
00:42:56,574 --> 00:42:58,033
I wish for it too.
510
00:43:13,882 --> 00:43:15,092
Good.
511
00:43:16,510 --> 00:43:19,096
We are nearly there now, miss.
512
00:43:22,016 --> 00:43:22,975
Young master.
513
00:43:24,310 --> 00:43:26,103
The Young Master In-ho you longed for
514
00:43:27,062 --> 00:43:28,314
is here before you.
515
00:43:31,483 --> 00:43:33,110
It is I, So-ok.
516
00:43:45,456 --> 00:43:46,665
Miss.
517
00:43:51,337 --> 00:43:52,338
There.
518
00:44:11,148 --> 00:44:12,107
Your hand.
519
00:44:15,069 --> 00:44:15,903
Yes.
520
00:44:17,112 --> 00:44:20,157
I wish for it too, young master.
521
00:44:21,116 --> 00:44:22,743
Yes, miss.
522
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:25,788
Young master.
523
00:44:33,962 --> 00:44:34,797
Wait…
524
00:44:39,051 --> 00:44:40,010
Well…
525
00:44:47,142 --> 00:44:50,186
Regarding that flower bud
you sent me last night.
526
00:44:50,187 --> 00:44:53,523
Before I could even lay a hand upon her,
she was already baring herself.
527
00:44:53,524 --> 00:44:54,941
I nearly lost my senses
528
00:44:54,942 --> 00:44:57,528
- and let the matter end too easily.
- It is So-ok, my lady.
529
00:44:58,237 --> 00:44:59,488
But you know me.
530
00:45:00,155 --> 00:45:02,449
If I were simply to grant you
what you desire,
531
00:45:03,117 --> 00:45:06,327
our wager would become rather pointless.
532
00:45:06,328 --> 00:45:07,871
So I barely managed to send her away.
533
00:45:09,415 --> 00:45:11,124
Did you sleep well through the night?
534
00:45:11,125 --> 00:45:13,835
I shall now devote myself
to my true objective,
535
00:45:13,836 --> 00:45:15,879
conquering the widow.
536
00:45:17,047 --> 00:45:18,298
Watch and see.
537
00:45:18,799 --> 00:45:21,342
I shall claim without fail
the reward you promised me,
538
00:45:21,343 --> 00:45:23,387
the one I could never refuse.
539
00:45:25,639 --> 00:45:26,515
Let me see that.
540
00:45:32,980 --> 00:45:33,981
Oh, here.
541
00:45:35,524 --> 00:45:39,027
LIQUOR
542
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,204
"It was only for idle amusement…"
543
00:45:51,582 --> 00:45:53,624
What took you so long?
544
00:45:53,625 --> 00:45:57,087
You rascal,
since when have you ever waited for me?
545
00:45:57,671 --> 00:46:00,381
Here. Take this to the lady.
546
00:46:00,382 --> 00:46:02,676
She has left,
and she took Eun-sil with her.
547
00:46:05,304 --> 00:46:07,305
I hear she's gone
to her family home in Hwaseong.
548
00:46:07,306 --> 00:46:08,932
I wonder what happened all of a sudden.
549
00:46:36,794 --> 00:46:37,795
Last night,
550
00:46:39,421 --> 00:46:42,549
your late father appeared in my dream.
551
00:46:43,967 --> 00:46:45,344
He held my hand tightly
552
00:46:47,221 --> 00:46:50,307
and said he wished to see you.
553
00:47:22,172 --> 00:47:23,298
I suppose
554
00:47:24,174 --> 00:47:26,385
he longs for you dearly from there.
555
00:47:31,557 --> 00:47:33,809
Go pay a visit to your family home.
556
00:49:25,087 --> 00:49:26,755
Eun-sil!
557
00:49:28,882 --> 00:49:29,841
Eun-sil!
558
00:49:32,427 --> 00:49:33,261
Eun-sil!
559
00:49:36,598 --> 00:49:38,433
My lady!
560
00:49:39,559 --> 00:49:41,144
My lady!
561
00:49:42,771 --> 00:49:43,897
The lord has come.
562
00:49:45,148 --> 00:49:46,274
The lord!
563
00:49:47,109 --> 00:49:48,986
Lord Cho Won has come all the way here.
564
00:49:54,199 --> 00:49:55,409
My lady.
565
00:50:17,723 --> 00:50:20,267
Oh, all right.
566
00:50:20,851 --> 00:50:22,727
What? Come now.
567
00:50:22,728 --> 00:50:23,895
Why, you…
568
00:50:24,563 --> 00:50:25,439
Oh, there she is.
569
00:50:30,444 --> 00:50:31,570
Well…
570
00:50:32,362 --> 00:50:35,073
Did you tell the lady I was here?
571
00:50:35,782 --> 00:50:36,699
Yes.
572
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:40,202
Right, and what did she say?
573
00:50:40,203 --> 00:50:41,913
She said
she never wishes to see you again,
574
00:50:43,081 --> 00:50:44,999
so you are to leave.
575
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,460
Well, that's…
576
00:50:47,669 --> 00:50:48,545
No, that…
577
00:50:50,380 --> 00:50:51,298
That cannot be right.
578
00:50:52,966 --> 00:50:54,718
It cannot.
579
00:50:57,012 --> 00:50:58,095
Go bring her.
580
00:50:58,096 --> 00:50:59,556
Go and tell her this.
581
00:51:01,641 --> 00:51:03,310
Until she agrees to see me,
582
00:51:03,977 --> 00:51:04,853
I shall not
583
00:51:06,021 --> 00:51:08,272
take a single step from this place!
584
00:51:08,273 --> 00:51:10,357
She chose to leave me without a word,
585
00:51:10,358 --> 00:51:11,568
so I too shall do as I please
586
00:51:12,778 --> 00:51:14,029
and wait for her here.
587
00:51:14,613 --> 00:51:16,530
Repeat every word exactly as I said it.
588
00:51:16,531 --> 00:51:19,033
My lord, please stop this and go at once.
589
00:51:19,034 --> 00:51:22,703
What if an elder of her family sees you?
590
00:51:22,704 --> 00:51:23,789
Forgive me.
591
00:51:27,751 --> 00:51:29,836
Now! Go deliver my words at once!
592
00:52:12,546 --> 00:52:16,174
If you mean to go on like this,
you may as well go see the lord outside.
593
00:52:20,345 --> 00:52:22,097
He still has not left.
594
00:52:24,015 --> 00:52:26,226
He may well freeze to death
out there in the rain soon.
595
00:52:40,907 --> 00:52:43,367
Go back in! Go!
596
00:52:43,368 --> 00:52:45,412
Go! Quickly!
597
00:52:54,588 --> 00:52:56,256
Why did that scoundrel Cho Won
598
00:52:56,756 --> 00:53:01,011
have you write a letter
to explain that earlier one?
599
00:53:01,678 --> 00:53:02,928
That is what I'm asking.
600
00:53:02,929 --> 00:53:05,682
Mother, I tell you. I truly know nothing.
601
00:53:06,516 --> 00:53:09,602
Lord Cho Won glared at me
as though he would kill me
602
00:53:09,603 --> 00:53:11,353
and said if I did not write it at once,
603
00:53:11,354 --> 00:53:13,356
he would bring great disgrace
upon this household.
604
00:53:14,524 --> 00:53:19,112
I only feared some misfortune
might come upon you, Mother.
605
00:53:20,447 --> 00:53:22,324
That is why I did as he commanded.
606
00:53:23,450 --> 00:53:25,243
Think on it, Mother.
607
00:53:25,785 --> 00:53:28,413
He is a nobleman. To a girl like me…
608
00:53:29,414 --> 00:53:32,708
Yes, just as you always say,
609
00:53:32,709 --> 00:53:35,170
a completely witless girl.
610
00:53:36,588 --> 00:53:38,005
For heaven's sake.
611
00:53:38,006 --> 00:53:39,799
Why would he explain his reasons to me?
612
00:53:41,509 --> 00:53:44,345
I only did as I was told, Mother!
613
00:53:44,346 --> 00:53:45,722
Please believe me!
614
00:53:49,059 --> 00:53:50,518
Go pay So-ok a visit.
615
00:53:52,062 --> 00:53:53,521
So-ok? Why?
616
00:53:54,189 --> 00:53:56,774
That is Cho Won's cousin's house,
617
00:53:56,775 --> 00:53:59,818
so go there
and listen for anything you can.
618
00:53:59,819 --> 00:54:01,695
I must know why that man
619
00:54:01,696 --> 00:54:04,157
had you do such a thing!
620
00:54:06,284 --> 00:54:08,078
Even for but a moment,
621
00:54:09,829 --> 00:54:12,582
would you let me see your face?
622
00:54:15,502 --> 00:54:17,003
I shall wait here!
623
00:54:39,192 --> 00:54:40,860
My heart is here with you…
624
00:54:45,073 --> 00:54:46,616
yet I cannot show it.
625
00:55:04,843 --> 00:55:06,385
Hey, Chil-seong!
626
00:55:06,386 --> 00:55:07,220
The letter!
627
00:55:13,643 --> 00:55:14,561
Eun-sil.
628
00:55:16,479 --> 00:55:17,480
Where is the lady?
629
00:55:34,581 --> 00:55:35,874
The night grows cold.
630
00:55:38,626 --> 00:55:40,545
You should return now, my lord.
631
00:55:47,093 --> 00:55:48,386
Are you all right?
632
00:55:53,350 --> 00:55:56,853
Will you accept this letter?
633
00:56:02,650 --> 00:56:05,403
That is all I ask.
634
00:56:07,655 --> 00:56:08,865
Within this letter…
635
00:56:11,743 --> 00:56:13,286
lies my true heart.
636
00:56:15,288 --> 00:56:17,665
It is proof that my feelings
are no falsehood.
637
00:56:19,542 --> 00:56:22,879
I… I cannot leave like this.
638
00:56:24,964 --> 00:56:26,883
I wish to clear away
your misunderstanding of me.
639
00:56:27,384 --> 00:56:28,510
So please…
640
00:56:30,303 --> 00:56:32,097
Oh, please,
641
00:56:33,556 --> 00:56:35,433
will you accept this letter?
642
00:56:47,195 --> 00:56:48,988
I believed your heart answered mine.
643
00:56:51,908 --> 00:56:53,034
Your heart and mine
644
00:56:54,953 --> 00:56:57,664
both desire one another, do they not?
645
00:56:58,164 --> 00:56:59,040
And yet,
646
00:56:59,791 --> 00:57:01,875
you will not let me do anything.
647
00:57:01,876 --> 00:57:03,503
What am I to do?
648
00:57:08,174 --> 00:57:09,092
Why…
649
00:57:12,387 --> 00:57:14,597
Why did you appear before me?
650
00:57:16,266 --> 00:57:19,769
Why appear before this wretched creature
who would otherwise have lived peacefully…
651
00:57:22,856 --> 00:57:23,940
only to leave me…
652
00:57:26,693 --> 00:57:28,278
longing for you so?
653
00:58:00,643 --> 00:58:01,644
I…
654
00:58:06,941 --> 00:58:09,194
wish to live, my lord.
655
00:58:32,926 --> 00:58:33,760
Then I…
656
00:58:37,972 --> 00:58:39,140
I shall…
657
00:58:43,311 --> 00:58:44,479
save you.
658
00:58:48,566 --> 00:58:49,484
I shall save you…
659
00:58:53,112 --> 00:58:54,405
no matter what.
660
01:02:33,166 --> 01:02:38,171
