Get him! Move! Get him!

You stop right there! You!

Stop right there!

Why are they following us?

-You go that way! Hurry! -No! I can't!

Stop!

You guys go that way! The rest of you, follow me!

Follow me!

Chi San!

Chi San!

Chi San! Wake up!

Chi San!

Your Highness...

How can you just go like this?

Chi San!

They're gone, right?

-Ketchup? -Uh huh.

Your Highness... I'm starving!

I've been licking this wrapper this whole time.

If I can just have a hamburger...

Let's hurry on to the Palace.

Your Highness.

If I go into the Palace looking like this, I'm going to get dragged away for sure!

Isn't that Yong Sul and Man Bo?

Let's go.

Yong Sul! Man Bo!

Your Highness! Your Highness!

I see that you've both arrived here safely.

But... where did you get the money for this?

I gave a pack of gum to the kitchen lady, and they just gave it to us.

The police are all over the place looking for men with weird haircut and clothes.

I think they're talking about you two.

Okay... I'm thirsty after having had to run away from them.

Pull out another one.

There aren't any more.

A person...should pack their own things.

Your Highness... Why don't you change your clothes first?

Okay.

What did you say?

You're saying the Crowned Prince is alive?

-Is that true? -Yes, Father.

I've just seen the Crown Prince going into the Palace with my very own eyes.

So I ran over here.

There's no way that could be!

Prince Moo Chang! What is going on?

He says the Crown Prince is at the Palace!

Didn't you clearly say that you were waiting in ambush in the woods last night?

You said you rid of the Crown Prince?

It seems as though the assassins made a mistake last night.

I will soon...correct that mistake.

Have you gone home to see your family?

-Yes, Your Highness. -Yes, Your Highness.

I grabbed my sister in a bear hug because I was so glad to see her.

But my sister threw a fit saying that it was gross.

But isn't that to be expected?

To your sister, you're a brother that she just saw yesterday.

It really is fascinating.

Even though we've experienced so many things in Seoul for the past several months.

In Joseon, we've only been gone one night.

You don't think we dreamed it, right?

That doesn't even make sense!

The memories of Seoul and Park Ha up in the rooftop is so fresh...

How can you say it was a dream?

You know that's not true.

Dream? As if...

'Hey'...

'That doesn't even make any sense...'

'That's not it!'

'As if!'

-Please forgive us, Your Highness! -Please forgive us, Your Highness!

Let's act appropriately in Joseon!

-Thank you, Your Highness! -Thank you, Your Highness!

As of this moment, we will solve the Princess' murder.

Assemble a special investigation unit to start the search.

-Yes, Your Highness. We will do as you wish! -Yes, Your Highness. We will do as you wish!

Bring the Princess' immediate family to the Justice Building.

My Lord!

What is going on?

Our family is being brought to the Justice Building?

After losing the Crowned Princess...

Our family is lost in our grief, but they're accusing us to be murderers...

Just what...in the world does that mean?

Why don't you say something?

It'll soon be over.

Either I die... Or the Crown Prince will die.

My Lord!

Lord Hong Man Pil.

Yes, Your Highness.

The Prime Minister of this Country... And the father of the Crown Princess...

Lord Hong Man Pil.

Do you know why you have been summoned here?

Your Highness.

I'm utterly confused because I don't know the reason behind any of this!

My entire family...

Have merely been mourning the drowning death and the loss of the Crown Princess.

Lady Jung.

Crown Princess' sister...

Where's Boo Yong right now?

Your Highness...

My daughter Boo Yong is currently down with the plague.

She is forbidden from leaving her room.

She's relegated to her room.

Please be understanding Your Highness...

Oh goodness...

Since she's down with the plague...

I guess I have no other choice but to go ask her myself.

Then at this point...

I will reveal the truth about the Crown Princess' murder.

7 days ago as of today...

Is the day that the Crown Princess was murdered.

Don't make a move.

Wait... It's my sister-in-law, Boo Yong!

-Please excuse me! -I told you not to move!

You may get up.

Did you fall down again?

Pardon me, Your Highness.

What is that in your hand?

Seeing that it's white powder... Is that woman's face powder?

It is, Your Highness.

It's face powder that our brother sent to the Crown Princess.

They must be very close.

By the way...

Did you solve the riddle that I gave you the other day?

What dies while still living, and what lives while still dying?

I still...haven't solved it.

If you don't solve it by tomorrow, then I win.

Do you understand?

Your Highness... This is the face powder that our brother sent you.

And this is a letter that Father sent.

A letter from Father?

I heard...that this powder is from China.

And it smells different than any other face powder.

Is it okay if I take a look?

Don't touch the face powder!

I beg your pardon.

I'm all set, so you may leave.

Your Highness...

And... This...

I made a handkerchief for the Crown Prince to use...

Didn't I tell you to leave?

Yes, Your Highness.

Once you've finished reading the letter that the father sent...

he asked it to be sealed back up, and have it brought back to him.

I will reseal it with glue, so wait a little bit.

Is anyone out there?

Yes, Your Highness.

Bring in some glue.

Did you get the face powder and the letter to the Crown Princess?

Yes, Father.

Fine. You may leave.

Yes, Father.

Mother. Who's the man that's been with father in his study for the past few days?

That's General Moo.

He is the Crown Prince's older half-brother.

Crown Prince has a half-brother?

When he was only 3 years old...

His mother was dethroned...

He along with the rest of his family got kicked out of the Palace.

But why is he staying at our house these days?

It's your father's business. You don't need to know.

Why don't you go get some rest?

Yes.

I heard...that this powder is from China.

But it smells very different than any other face powders.

Don't touch the face powder!

That's General Moo.

He is the Crown Prince's half-brother.

It didn't smell of fragrant face powder.

Ah...

Father's letter!

Crown Princess...

Today is the day.

Please listen carefully to your father's words.

You have to act without any mistakes.

Father.

I didn't get the letter back.

Excuse me?

Go get the letter I sent to the Crown Princess back from Boo Yong.

Yes, Father.

It seems like... Boo Yong has read the letter.

Lady Boo Yong ran out the front gate just a little bit ago.

Bring me my horse.

Go capture Lord Hong's daughter. If you can't do that...

-You can strike her down. -Yes, Master.

Crown Princess...

Once the Palace attendant checks the dried persimmons...

make sure that you receive the dried persimmons.

Did the Palace attendants examine the dishes on the drink table?

Yes, Your Highness.

I have already tasted the side dishes and the dried persimmons...

and there was nothing wrong with them.

Okay. You may leave.

Yes, Your Highness.

Once the court ladies leave...

divert Crown Prince's attention elsewhere.

Once that's done...

Sprinkle the powder that's in the face powder box on the dried persimmons.

Your Highness...

I made you a handkerchief.

Did you make another handkerchief with the butterfly embroidered on it?

Let me see it.

I'm embarrassed by my skills.

Your embroidery skills are quite famous, so be proud of it.

It's so beautiful!

It's an amazing skill.

You're being too generous, Your Highness.

I will pour you a drink.

Okay.

By the way...

Didn't Boo Yong come by earlier today?

Yes, Your Highness.

But...

How did you know that?

I ran into Boo Yong while crossing the pavilion.

Ah... I see.

She tripped and fell again and spilled the face powder that she had brought for you.

Seeing how the dried persimmon is covered in white...

It really looks delicious.

Let's see about tasting one...

Your Highness...

Lady Boo Yong from Her Highness' home is requesting to enter.

Why do you think Boo Yong is here this late at night?

Tell her she may enter.

So... What brings you here this late at night?

Your Highness...

I beg your pardon, but I had something urgent to tell you, so I ran over here tonight.

Boo Yong... Don't you even know the law?

Go back and return in the morning.

Hurry up and leave.

Did I not tell you to leave quickly? Go on.

Even though you're breaking the law as the Crown Princess says...

But let's make an exception for tonight.

Tell me. Just what is it that you have to say?

Your Highness...

I have solved the riddle.

How random.

You're saying you solved the riddle?

Yes, Your Highness.

I would have won if you hadn't solved it by tomorrow...

Then let me hear your answer.

What dies while still living, and what lives while still dying?

The answer is...

Boo Yong.

Boo Yong...

Why are you saying your name as the answer?

Stop your nonsense garble and go back home at once!

Princess...

Let's hear her explanation.

Why is your answer Boo Yong?

Isn't Boo Yong... Another name for the lotus flower?

That's correct.

Lotus flower is also called Boo Yong.

So what?

Everything that's alive...

Get's buried in the ground once it's dead.

Okay.

A lotus flower... must die by being planted in the ground...

for it to live on as a flower.

Still living even though it dies, this precise point is what it's teaching...

And even if it's alive, it has to die for the seeds to drop to the ground.

Therefore, still dying while it lives is to teach this belief.

What still dies even while living...

And what still lives even though it dies...

Is Boo Yong.

Is that all?

In Buddhism...

The symbol of reincarnation and of what lives while it's dying is also the lotus flower.

That's the correct answer.

I lost.

I've lost again.

It's an honor, Your Highness.

Since you've finished your business here, you may leave now.

Your Highness.

Since I've solved the riddle...

As you've promised, please give me my prize.

Right now in the middle of the night?

Your Highness...

As a prize...

Please give me this plate of dried persimmons.

You want these dried persimmons as your prize?

Yes, Your Highness.

As the prize that you promised...

Please allow me...

To eat these dried persimmons.

I've promised you a grand prize...

But will these mere dried persimmons be any grand prize?

Yes, Your Highness.

To me right now...

More than anything else in the world...

It's what I need and is important to me.

Please give me the prize.

You really are random.

Fine.

You may eat these dried persimmons until your stomach is full.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Since it's gotten late, be careful going home.

Your Highness...

Please...

May you be at peace.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

If you're not feeling well, should I have someone accompany you?

No, that's okay.

If by any chance... The Crown Princess looks for me later on...

Tell her that I'll be waiting for her at the pavilion.

Are you talking about this evening?

I'm saying if she by any chance looks for me.

Yes, I'll do that.

Blow out the lights.

Wait out here.

Yes, Your Highness.

If it's revealed that you've been poisoned after eating the dried persimmons...

Did you think that either I or our family would be safe?

Your Highness...

How could you have done such a thing?

You've ruined it.

Sister...

Sister...Please grant me my last request.

The Crown Prince...

Please protect him.

I'm sure they're going to find my body inside the Palace.

They'll find out quickly that I've died from being poisoned.

Plans of attempted poisoning will then be revealed...

And our family will suffer dire consequences.

I'm sure you will also... End up losing your life.

It's because of you that things turned out this way...

So what are you telling me to do?

If I changed into your clothes... And drown in the pavilion pond...

They're going to think that the Princess has drowned.

No one...will notice that there was an attempt to poison the Crown Prince!

Then...

You... And our family can survive.

If you...step down from the Princess' seat like that...

Father will no longer...

Be able to make an attempt at the Crown Prince's life.

Then...

I'll be able to protect the Crown Prince as well.

Sister... There's no time.

Hurry!

My Prince...

Lord Hong.

Why aren't you responding?

Your Highness...

Saying that the one that drowned in the pond is Boo Yong, and not the Princess...

is a totally and utterly false!

Lady Jung...

Did you see Boo Yong at home tonight?

Your Highness!

She is down with the plague.

She's laying down in her room with her doors locked!

Are you positive that it's Boo Yong?

As of right now, we will be searching through the home of Hong Man Pil.

So break open the front gate!

-Yes, Your Highness. -Yes, Your Highness.

Search everywhere in the house, and find Boo Yong!

Yes!

I've found her.

She's here!

Are you Boo Yong?

-Your Highness! -Your Highness!

-Your Highness! -Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Lift your head up and pull down the veil.

Your Highness! Please spare my life!

I've known nothing of this! Please spare my life, Your Highness!

How was something like you the Crown Princess?

Please spare my life, Your Highness!

Instead of begging me for your life, you'll have to beg for your life to Boo Yong!

Your Highness!

I will punish all that were involved in this wrongdoing!

Take her to jail!

-Your Highness! How did this happen? -Your Highness! How did this happen?

Park Ha has saved me again.

-Park Ha... -Park Ha...

Always... Keep it near your heart.

Dummy...

Hong Man Pil dethroned my mother while I was young.

He ordered her to death by drinking a poisonous drink.

Once I became the King...

he was afraid of my vengeance and tried to poison me.

To father Hong Man Pil, and his son Hong Nak Hyun...

I sentence them to be beheaded!

General Moo is my half-brother.

But you've always held a grudge against me since you've been kicked out of the Palace.

You conspired with Hong Man Pil

to poison me so that you could take over the throne for yourself!

General Moo.

You are also sentenced to be beheaded!

Even though Hwa Yong and your mother also deserve to be beheaded...

But I will honor the wishes of the late Boo Yong, and spare you your lives.

The Crown Princess will be dethroned.

You will be exiled along with your mother.

Make sure they can never take a step off of their deserted Island!

Behead the criminals!

-Yes, Your Highness. -Yes, Your Highness.

What dies while still living...

And lives while still dying?

If Your Highness is reading this letter...

It means that you're still alive... So, I, Boo Yong am happy.

There's one good thing about dying.

The words that I've always kept in my heart... It makes me happy to be able to say them now.

I have always...

Longed for you.

I've always...

Loved you.

Through death while still living...

And living while still dying...

Even after several hundred years pass by...

I will...

Still love you.

Park Ha...

I have safely arrived.

How are you doing?

If by any chance, you get to read this letter...

I guess it'll be a letter that's 300 years old.

And if you get your hands on this letter...

I take back calling you a dummy.

I take it back.

Dummy.

Is the fruit juice business going well?

Since I can only imagine what you're doing right now...

I can't touch you since I can't reach you.

I miss you to death like crazy.

I want to hear your voice...

And I want to touch you.

Thank you.

If it means that I can see you by dying...

I'd like to die right now.

I'd like an apple juice please.

An apple juice, please.

Yes.

I should have told you that I loved you more.

Park Ha...

I love you.

I miss your smiling face like crazy.

Please take care of yourself.

Please be well.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Two omurice...

Two yangs.

Two omurice ready!

How is the ketchup coming along?

It was a little salty the last time.

There you go starting again.

What do you mean, starting again?

-If someone says something, you should listen. -Whatever.

How many times have I told you that ketchup is the most important part?

It's time to go out on delivery.

It's time to go out on delivery!

Man Bo, let's go.

What took you so long?

If you're able, please come and eat it.

It's hard on us.

And please pay your bill.

What money would I have?

Let's eat.

Let's eat.

Your Highness...

It's because the omurice was so delicious.

Your Highness.

You should eat Park Ha candy as dessert.

It's sweet... It tastes so amazing.

Why are you so late?

I've been waiting for a long time.

Where have you been?

I've always...

Been here.

Even if 300 years pass by...

I will...still love you.

[Even if 300 years passes by, I will still love you]
