WEBVTT

00:00:47.218 --> 00:00:50.096
THE PEOPLE, GROUPS, PLACES, AND INCIDENTS
IN THIS DRAMA ARE PURELY FICTIONAL

00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.111
Send this traitor to the State Tribunal!

00:02:31.990 --> 00:02:33.116
Halt!

00:02:36.327 --> 00:02:37.662
Not to the State Tribunal.

00:02:40.206 --> 00:02:41.958
Lock him up in the Internal Prison.

00:02:42.625 --> 00:02:43.793
I will…

00:02:46.337 --> 00:02:48.214
hold him responsible in the future.

00:02:49.507 --> 00:02:50.675
Yes, Your Highness.

00:02:51.259 --> 00:02:52.552
Take him away!

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.863
BLOODY HEART
EPISODE 14

00:03:14.282 --> 00:03:16.159
The subjects were beheaded?

00:03:16.659 --> 00:03:18.578
Councilor Park won't let that happen.

00:03:19.245 --> 00:03:20.663
That's what I find even weirder.

00:03:20.747 --> 00:03:22.874
Councilor tried to take
the Queen Dowager's life

00:03:22.957 --> 00:03:24.834
and was put in the Internal Prison.

00:03:26.044 --> 00:03:29.380
Councilor Park can't be that foolish.

00:03:30.006 --> 00:03:32.383
But it seems to be true.

00:03:33.551 --> 00:03:34.552
This is

00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:37.138
simply tyranny.

00:03:37.764 --> 00:03:39.265
What did the State Council do?

00:03:39.849 --> 00:03:42.268
What about the Three Offices,
the Royal Family, and scholars?

00:03:42.393 --> 00:03:44.312
They used the law, causes,
and honor for parents

00:03:44.395 --> 00:03:46.397
to stop me from making any moves.

00:03:46.481 --> 00:03:47.857
Why are they silent now?

00:03:52.028 --> 00:03:53.279
Your Majesty.

00:03:54.989 --> 00:03:56.991
I have another piece of news.

00:04:42.245 --> 00:04:43.663
Please don't move.

00:04:45.331 --> 00:04:47.041
You should be careful right now.

00:04:50.336 --> 00:04:51.921
Have you heard?

00:04:51.963 --> 00:04:53.131
I heard…

00:04:55.633 --> 00:04:56.843
you are pregnant.

00:04:58.386 --> 00:04:59.762
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:05:05.351 --> 00:05:06.769
I'm sorry.

00:05:06.811 --> 00:05:10.523
I put you through so much trouble
even though you were pregnant.

00:05:12.525 --> 00:05:13.860
I won't ever

00:05:14.485 --> 00:05:16.487
leave you alone again.

00:05:18.364 --> 00:05:19.574
Ttonggeum…

00:05:20.992 --> 00:05:22.243
died.

00:05:23.494 --> 00:05:25.496
She died in my place

00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:28.166
in the hands of those
who tried to kill me.

00:05:31.836 --> 00:05:33.796
The Queen Dowager is a tyrant.

00:05:33.838 --> 00:05:35.089
An oppressor.

00:05:36.174 --> 00:05:38.426
She cannot continue like this.

00:05:38.509 --> 00:05:40.094
It may be dishonoring your mother,

00:05:41.304 --> 00:05:45.433
but you must do this
for our people and the Royal Family.

00:05:48.978 --> 00:05:50.688
You have no time to lose.

00:05:50.813 --> 00:05:52.148
If her tyranny is prolonged,

00:05:52.565 --> 00:05:55.401
we don't know
how much our people will suffer.

00:05:55.443 --> 00:05:57.195
The Queen Dowager must be

00:05:58.404 --> 00:05:59.697
deposed as soon as possible.

00:06:38.152 --> 00:06:40.071
She annihilated a good number of subjects

00:06:40.655 --> 00:06:43.032
without questioning them once.

00:06:43.074 --> 00:06:45.201
Even Councilor Park is
locked up in the Internal Prison.

00:06:45.785 --> 00:06:48.204
That's the prison
for eunuchs and court ladies.

00:06:48.663 --> 00:06:49.622
Turn a blind eye to it,

00:06:50.623 --> 00:06:52.583
if you wish to live.

00:06:53.501 --> 00:06:55.878
Inspector Park
of the Office of Inspector General.

00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:56.754
Please allow me in.

00:07:03.052 --> 00:07:04.470
There is a rumor

00:07:04.512 --> 00:07:07.056
that Councilor Park is
imprisoned in the Internal Prison.

00:07:07.181 --> 00:07:08.266
Do you know

00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:10.893
anything about this?

00:07:19.402 --> 00:07:21.112
Please spare him, Your Highness.

00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:25.199
My lord does not have
anything to do with this rebellion.

00:07:25.283 --> 00:07:26.492
And it is told that

00:07:27.410 --> 00:07:29.537
he dared to take your life,

00:07:30.371 --> 00:07:32.081
but he's only getting framed.

00:07:38.546 --> 00:07:40.256
You're asking me to spare him,

00:07:41.799 --> 00:07:43.551
which makes me want to kill him even more.

00:07:44.218 --> 00:07:45.303
I shall

00:07:46.387 --> 00:07:47.805
cut off my tongue

00:07:49.098 --> 00:07:50.975
since it dared to defy you.

00:07:51.392 --> 00:07:53.019
If you ask me for my head,

00:07:53.686 --> 00:07:55.313
I will give it to you.

00:07:55.938 --> 00:07:58.232
And how shall I use that disgusting thing?

00:08:04.947 --> 00:08:06.574
Keep your eyes on everything

00:08:06.657 --> 00:08:08.409
with the same vigor
when you humiliated me.

00:08:08.951 --> 00:08:11.537
Your tongue, your head,

00:08:11.662 --> 00:08:13.956
and your life as the wife
of the left state councilor.

00:08:38.439 --> 00:08:41.150
Mother, let us go.

00:08:55.289 --> 00:08:56.582
Go meet your father.

00:08:56.624 --> 00:08:58.876
The Internal Prison doesn't allow
private visitors.

00:08:58.918 --> 00:09:00.503
I'll find a way for you.

00:09:01.295 --> 00:09:04.715
Go ask your father what he's up to.

00:09:07.885 --> 00:09:08.928
I will do

00:09:10.221 --> 00:09:11.597
as he asks.

00:09:19.814 --> 00:09:21.190
TRAITOR

00:09:21.315 --> 00:09:23.109
NO KYUNGMOON

00:09:23.192 --> 00:09:26.821
Announcing that in these current times

00:09:28.739 --> 00:09:30.908
is the same as saying that you are.

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:40.376
My lord.

00:09:41.544 --> 00:09:43.504
I became a bystander of slaughter

00:09:44.505 --> 00:09:46.632
although I was in charge
of the palace's security.

00:09:47.508 --> 00:09:49.552
I let some hoodlums take the palace.

00:09:51.971 --> 00:09:53.347
Did you not find any bodies?

00:09:53.431 --> 00:09:56.225
No, they cleaned up everything
after killing the hoodlums.

00:09:56.767 --> 00:09:58.060
It's not just a few.

00:09:59.061 --> 00:10:01.230
That means the Consort is
likely to have survived.

00:10:02.231 --> 00:10:03.941
-Should I say I'm relieved?
-My lord.

00:10:04.525 --> 00:10:05.401
Please look.

00:10:05.526 --> 00:10:07.236
This was found nearby.

00:10:10.865 --> 00:10:13.701
This is a wooden tag for a regional army.

00:10:14.535 --> 00:10:15.661
Does this mean

00:10:16.412 --> 00:10:18.164
regional soldiers are near the palace?

00:10:49.904 --> 00:10:52.448
Did I disturb you from your sleep again?

00:10:53.115 --> 00:10:56.202
I'll soon find out
if the court ladies are fine.

00:10:57.578 --> 00:10:59.705
I told you not to worry about it.

00:11:01.582 --> 00:11:02.750
I keep dreaming

00:11:04.460 --> 00:11:07.588
about how you spit out blood
and collapsed before me.

00:11:10.007 --> 00:11:11.759
And Ttonggeum, right before her death.

00:11:14.303 --> 00:11:16.722
I keep telling myself
that I cannot forget about her.

00:11:18.140 --> 00:11:19.725
Maybe that's why I keep seeing her.

00:11:20.768 --> 00:11:23.312
-We'll return to the palace soon.
-Once we return,

00:11:23.896 --> 00:11:27.024
I'll find the one
who tried to poison you to death.

00:11:30.861 --> 00:11:32.530
The one who tried to hurt you

00:11:33.155 --> 00:11:34.949
might be the one behind the Queen Dowager.

00:11:35.866 --> 00:11:38.369
This isn't something
she could have done alone.

00:11:39.453 --> 00:11:40.955
This is someone

00:11:41.664 --> 00:11:43.624
who put the country in chaos by using her.

00:11:45.251 --> 00:11:46.794
I will not forgive this one.

00:12:20.911 --> 00:12:22.121
I must have…

00:12:24.123 --> 00:12:25.916
become weak.

00:12:27.668 --> 00:12:29.211
I have more to protect,

00:12:29.837 --> 00:12:33.382
and it only makes me
more impatient and scared.

00:12:34.383 --> 00:12:36.218
This must be why my late father

00:12:38.012 --> 00:12:39.805
also cowered down.

00:12:41.223 --> 00:12:42.433
I finally understand

00:12:43.809 --> 00:12:44.852
how he felt.

00:12:47.104 --> 00:12:48.314
What are you

00:12:49.398 --> 00:12:50.983
so afraid of?

00:13:13.714 --> 00:13:16.258
I was afraid
I wouldn't be able to protect you.

00:13:17.760 --> 00:13:18.844
And now,

00:13:19.845 --> 00:13:21.555
I'm afraid I may

00:13:23.349 --> 00:13:24.558
lose you.

00:13:28.020 --> 00:13:30.439
I went through two selections

00:13:31.190 --> 00:13:33.275
to marry a strange man.

00:13:34.610 --> 00:13:36.320
And both times, it was with you.

00:13:37.738 --> 00:13:39.782
We were meant to be.

00:13:41.283 --> 00:13:43.661
We cannot be separated that easily.

00:14:09.311 --> 00:14:10.396
Were you

00:14:11.021 --> 00:14:13.274
really going to kill me?

00:14:14.608 --> 00:14:15.693
Your Highness.

00:14:18.529 --> 00:14:21.907
I am grieved that
I could not take your life.

00:14:23.450 --> 00:14:26.120
Just as I dragged down
the old deposed king,

00:14:26.871 --> 00:14:29.164
I will also drag you down.

00:14:29.290 --> 00:14:31.625
A subject who rebels once is
a vassal of merit,

00:14:33.043 --> 00:14:34.753
but twice, they are a traitor.

00:14:35.754 --> 00:14:38.007
Dragging down the Queen Dowager
whilst in her regency?

00:14:38.132 --> 00:14:39.216
That is rebellion.

00:14:39.842 --> 00:14:40.926
In that case,

00:14:42.303 --> 00:14:44.471
I will become a traitor.

00:14:48.017 --> 00:14:49.310
You must have forgotten

00:14:49.435 --> 00:14:51.729
that you were locked up
trying to murder royalty.

00:14:52.187 --> 00:14:54.481
Your crime is enough to have
three generations annihilated.

00:14:54.565 --> 00:14:57.651
In that case, you can punish me
according to our customs.

00:14:57.735 --> 00:14:59.236
I decide what the customs are!

00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:01.155
Nobody…

00:15:02.948 --> 00:15:05.576
stands above the customs.

00:15:07.161 --> 00:15:09.580
You should step down

00:15:10.497 --> 00:15:12.041
before you are dragged down.

00:15:14.668 --> 00:15:16.170
What can you do?

00:15:17.504 --> 00:15:19.632
Nobody in the Royal Court is on your side.

00:15:19.757 --> 00:15:21.342
Even if you die in here,

00:15:23.177 --> 00:15:25.262
nobody will step up for you.

00:15:26.096 --> 00:15:27.765
Before I die,

00:15:31.393 --> 00:15:34.939
I will have you deposed, Your Highness.

00:15:42.988 --> 00:15:44.365
Where's Consort Park?

00:15:46.283 --> 00:15:48.619
Is she alive or dead?

00:15:49.203 --> 00:15:50.996
Is somebody hiding her?

00:15:51.914 --> 00:15:54.249
Maitreya has not answered.

00:15:55.417 --> 00:15:56.919
You must have

00:15:57.962 --> 00:15:59.672
lost your power.

00:16:01.966 --> 00:16:04.718
And where is my message
of the King's death?

00:16:04.802 --> 00:16:07.680
You continuously miss things,

00:16:09.932 --> 00:16:12.643
so the chief eunuch had to send someone
to the detached palace.

00:16:42.172 --> 00:16:43.882
If a scout is here,

00:16:43.966 --> 00:16:46.301
it means the Queen Dowager is
suspicious of me.

00:16:46.427 --> 00:16:48.971
Tell Siwol to stop going into the palace.

00:16:49.054 --> 00:16:51.682
We need someone
to cause trouble with the Queen Dowager.

00:16:52.266 --> 00:16:54.727
We cannot do that without Siwol.

00:16:54.852 --> 00:16:56.437
It'll take some time,

00:16:57.563 --> 00:16:58.689
but it's doable.

00:17:00.566 --> 00:17:01.692
Kyun.

00:17:02.568 --> 00:17:04.445
I saw that kid's face.

00:17:05.696 --> 00:17:07.197
If he gets hurt,

00:17:08.282 --> 00:17:09.575
I'll never be able

00:17:10.868 --> 00:17:12.786
to forget that boy's face.

00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:15.914
And I only saw him once.

00:17:16.749 --> 00:17:18.459
How would you feel?

00:17:34.349 --> 00:17:36.018
If you came this far,

00:17:36.060 --> 00:17:38.353
the situation must be very dire.

00:17:38.479 --> 00:17:40.397
Councilor Park knows about you.

00:17:41.065 --> 00:17:42.649
Eunuchs are also keeping an eye on you,

00:17:43.233 --> 00:17:45.027
so the chief eunuch is
also suspicious of you.

00:17:45.903 --> 00:17:48.197
Everyone whom I planted
in the palace has fled already,

00:17:49.031 --> 00:17:51.366
so I can't find any details.

00:17:54.203 --> 00:17:55.913
So you must leave immediately too.

00:18:01.627 --> 00:18:02.669
Father.

00:18:07.841 --> 00:18:08.675
I thought

00:18:09.635 --> 00:18:10.761
after everything,

00:18:13.847 --> 00:18:15.682
you would abandon me.

00:18:18.769 --> 00:18:20.437
You have no use to me anymore,

00:18:21.063 --> 00:18:22.397
so of course, I'll abandon you.

00:19:10.487 --> 00:19:13.824
He'll now tell the Queen Dowager
that I am still alive.

00:19:15.576 --> 00:19:16.410
Your Majesty.

00:19:16.451 --> 00:19:18.412
I sent Siwol away.

00:19:19.121 --> 00:19:22.124
He should be out of the city by now.

00:19:25.752 --> 00:19:26.837
Good job.

00:19:55.490 --> 00:19:56.742
Father, it's me.

00:19:57.951 --> 00:19:59.912
I have one last thing to do
before I leave.

00:20:01.622 --> 00:20:02.956
Don't worry too much.

00:20:04.208 --> 00:20:05.334
You know,

00:20:07.211 --> 00:20:09.755
I'm glad I have a father

00:20:10.547 --> 00:20:11.673
I can say that too.

00:20:14.635 --> 00:20:16.762
The ones who took Consort Park
dropped that.

00:20:21.558 --> 00:20:24.478
If you found the evidence,
you should catch the Consort first.

00:20:24.561 --> 00:20:26.647
Why are you so slow?

00:20:28.482 --> 00:20:29.775
It's a regional army tag.

00:20:30.901 --> 00:20:31.777
What?

00:20:31.818 --> 00:20:33.487
I do not know which region they are from,

00:20:33.528 --> 00:20:34.696
but that position shows

00:20:34.780 --> 00:20:37.783
local soldiers under a governor are
near the palace.

00:20:39.076 --> 00:20:42.537
We never mobilized
a governor's soldiers, so…

00:20:45.707 --> 00:20:46.959
If His Majesty gave an order,

00:20:48.126 --> 00:20:49.711
it would've been possible.

00:20:49.795 --> 00:20:51.838
Why are you telling me this now?

00:20:53.924 --> 00:20:56.093
How dare that disgusting eunuch!

00:20:59.721 --> 00:21:00.681
Your Highness!

00:21:01.682 --> 00:21:02.808
Your Highness!

00:21:03.433 --> 00:21:04.685
Your Highness.

00:21:05.978 --> 00:21:07.229
There is bad news.

00:21:07.271 --> 00:21:09.022
The ones who took Consort Park

00:21:09.106 --> 00:21:11.817
seem to be local soldiers
working for a governor.

00:21:13.694 --> 00:21:16.238
I haven't told any governor
to mobilize his soldiers lately.

00:21:16.280 --> 00:21:18.532
Why are they near the palace?

00:21:18.573 --> 00:21:19.533
On top of that,

00:21:20.117 --> 00:21:22.327
the troop dispatch token is
still within palace walls.

00:21:23.245 --> 00:21:25.247
If His Majesty signed the order,

00:21:25.330 --> 00:21:27.040
it might be possible.

00:21:28.709 --> 00:21:29.751
It looks like

00:21:30.585 --> 00:21:32.337
His Majesty has woken up.

00:21:35.841 --> 00:21:38.760
Hyekang said the King will not live.

00:21:39.344 --> 00:21:40.470
He can miss everything else,

00:21:41.888 --> 00:21:44.057
but he was never wrong about…

00:21:58.280 --> 00:21:59.489
the King.

00:22:00.282 --> 00:22:03.327
Did you just say that my uncle
is to be sent to Jeolla Province?

00:22:03.452 --> 00:22:05.454
You choose to send one of my few relatives

00:22:06.455 --> 00:22:07.998
so far away.

00:22:08.081 --> 00:22:09.499
His Majesty has

00:22:09.583 --> 00:22:12.294
already appointed him
as governor of Jeolla Province.

00:22:13.337 --> 00:22:17.215
To honor the skies
before the rain-calling ceremony,

00:22:17.299 --> 00:22:19.468
he lowered his food intake
for the past three days.

00:22:20.010 --> 00:22:22.387
Since last night,
he did not even drink water.

00:22:22.471 --> 00:22:23.513
That is true.

00:22:23.597 --> 00:22:27.017
Those who serve at his palace
can testify to that.

00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:28.518
How peculiar.

00:22:29.186 --> 00:22:30.479
He fasted, you say?

00:22:30.604 --> 00:22:32.189
Not even the former King did as such.

00:22:33.607 --> 00:22:35.901
But yet, he somehow consumed poison.

00:22:41.323 --> 00:22:42.199
Stop him.

00:22:49.915 --> 00:22:50.916
Your Highness.

00:22:51.041 --> 00:22:53.251
I have been away for too long.

00:23:09.226 --> 00:23:10.352
Hyekang.

00:23:12.354 --> 00:23:13.522
Yes, Your Highness.

00:23:15.065 --> 00:23:17.359
Is there a possibility
for the King to wake up?

00:23:19.861 --> 00:23:21.655
That will not happen.

00:23:22.656 --> 00:23:24.366
He's already
about to go to the other side.

00:23:28.370 --> 00:23:29.371
You dare…

00:23:30.747 --> 00:23:32.833
deceive me?

00:23:43.718 --> 00:23:45.095
Your Highness the Queen Dowager,

00:23:45.137 --> 00:23:47.389
His Majesty has woken up.

00:23:47.597 --> 00:23:49.850
I saw him walk around
with my own two eyes.

00:23:54.729 --> 00:23:55.981
I ask you once again.

00:23:58.859 --> 00:24:00.026
Has the King

00:24:01.611 --> 00:24:03.280
deceived me?

00:24:07.409 --> 00:24:08.994
The King has…

00:24:13.123 --> 00:24:15.041
deceived me.

00:24:27.888 --> 00:24:29.014
The detached palace

00:24:31.016 --> 00:24:33.310
is protected by the soldiers

00:24:34.311 --> 00:24:36.521
of the governor of Jeolla.

00:24:37.439 --> 00:24:39.900
I do not know!

00:24:40.901 --> 00:24:42.194
All I heard was that

00:24:43.028 --> 00:24:45.363
they were mustered by a written order.

00:24:46.031 --> 00:24:47.240
His Majesty will

00:24:47.324 --> 00:24:50.243
send the soldiers
of Jeolla Province before him.

00:24:52.204 --> 00:24:53.330
And he will

00:24:54.247 --> 00:24:56.249
take the palace over.

00:24:58.752 --> 00:25:01.254
He sent the troops here
only with a written order?

00:25:01.838 --> 00:25:05.759
He's more loyal to the Royal Family,
even at the cost of his life.

00:25:06.343 --> 00:25:07.761
What shall you do?

00:25:07.844 --> 00:25:10.180
He sent the army here
without the troop dispatch token,

00:25:10.222 --> 00:25:11.389
so this is treason.

00:25:11.973 --> 00:25:13.183
Go to the Office of Seals and Badges.

00:25:13.266 --> 00:25:16.186
I have the troop dispatch token
to deploy the local army.

00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:21.691
I shall muster
every single soldier of this nation

00:25:22.859 --> 00:25:24.402
to burn down

00:25:25.570 --> 00:25:27.113
the King's detached palace.

00:25:32.702 --> 00:25:33.954
Halt.

00:25:36.665 --> 00:25:39.000
The troop dispatch token
belongs to the Ministry of Defense.

00:25:39.084 --> 00:25:42.087
It was only transferred to you
in a state of emergency.

00:25:42.212 --> 00:25:44.506
But now, the Queen Dowager demands it.

00:25:44.589 --> 00:25:46.383
-You must obey her command.
-How dare you.

00:25:46.967 --> 00:25:49.094
-Do not speak to Minister Cho like that.
-How dare you!

00:25:50.095 --> 00:25:53.515
My order is the Queen Dowager's order.

00:26:08.905 --> 00:26:10.865
I have evidence of some traitors

00:26:10.991 --> 00:26:12.826
surrounding his detached palace
to plot treason

00:26:12.909 --> 00:26:15.412
against the King
while he isn't in his right mind.

00:26:15.453 --> 00:26:16.913
I send the troop dispatch token.

00:26:16.997 --> 00:26:20.250
All governors of Joseon shall
send their soldiers immediately.

00:26:23.712 --> 00:26:24.629
Your Majesty.

00:26:24.713 --> 00:26:27.465
The Queen Dowager
mustered all soldiers in every province.

00:26:39.561 --> 00:26:43.023
She sent the fake token
all around the provinces of Joseon.

00:26:43.565 --> 00:26:46.943
The Queen Dowager
finally showed her rebellious motives.

00:26:48.653 --> 00:26:52.741
Send my order and the real tokens
to the governors around the country

00:26:53.658 --> 00:26:55.327
and muster the troops.

00:26:55.452 --> 00:26:58.038
Your order is my command.

00:27:23.605 --> 00:27:25.607
GOVERNOR OF HWANGHAE PROVINCE

00:27:49.964 --> 00:27:51.549
Things are just as you predicted.

00:27:52.092 --> 00:27:53.218
The Queen Dowager

00:27:54.219 --> 00:27:55.929
took the troop dispatch token.

00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:58.640
I did everything as you said
with the wooden tag

00:27:59.641 --> 00:28:01.101
and the troop dispatch token.

00:28:01.434 --> 00:28:03.228
So tell me now.

00:28:04.521 --> 00:28:05.814
Has His Majesty

00:28:06.564 --> 00:28:07.941
woken up?

00:28:09.943 --> 00:28:10.944
Yes.

00:28:18.159 --> 00:28:21.871
You don't look too thrilled
about His Majesty's return.

00:28:22.664 --> 00:28:24.416
I am in charge of the palace's security,

00:28:25.291 --> 00:28:27.127
yet I failed to carry out my duty.

00:28:28.128 --> 00:28:30.255
How will I pay for my sin?

00:28:31.381 --> 00:28:32.549
I am a little afraid.

00:28:33.383 --> 00:28:36.553
Minister Cho, you should
make a contribution.

00:28:38.388 --> 00:28:42.308
But I do not think
you'll have too much time to think.

00:28:43.393 --> 00:28:47.147
Councilor Park,
what are you scheming in there?

00:28:48.398 --> 00:28:53.278
I'm trying to help His Majesty
get what he wants.

00:28:54.696 --> 00:28:57.323
Telling the world that

00:28:57.407 --> 00:28:59.868
the Queen Dowager is a traitor.

00:29:01.745 --> 00:29:05.331
And now, the times will become tough

00:29:05.790 --> 00:29:09.502
for the Queen Dowager and her subjects.

00:29:13.047 --> 00:29:14.090
Inspector Park!

00:29:17.302 --> 00:29:20.180
Will you really hand in that appeal
to the Queen Dowager?

00:29:20.221 --> 00:29:21.639
Please move aside.

00:29:23.099 --> 00:29:24.893
Stop being so naive.

00:29:25.435 --> 00:29:27.937
Even the Left Minister was killed.
What can you do?

00:29:28.021 --> 00:29:30.523
Your father is
also imprisoned in the Internal Prison.

00:29:31.524 --> 00:29:35.320
You are the one who taught me that
the Three Offices must lay down our lives.

00:29:35.445 --> 00:29:37.655
If I was only worried about staying alive,

00:29:38.907 --> 00:29:42.202
I would also turn in my appeal,
at the risk of my family's annihilation.

00:29:42.744 --> 00:29:46.206
Her Highness is making an attempt
to change the system of the Three Offices.

00:29:46.247 --> 00:29:48.249
I cannot let her
bring down the Three Offices.

00:29:48.333 --> 00:29:50.502
The Three Offices have already fallen.

00:29:59.761 --> 00:30:01.763
If the troops of Jeolla's governor
are protecting

00:30:01.805 --> 00:30:03.640
the crafters of Bamboo Grove Village,

00:30:04.849 --> 00:30:06.100
it must be His Majesty.

00:30:07.644 --> 00:30:10.772
I'm not sure
how far His Majesty is involved.

00:30:12.524 --> 00:30:16.653
I'm not sure if the troops in the city are
on the Queen Dowager's order…

00:30:19.239 --> 00:30:20.782
or His Majesty's.

00:30:21.950 --> 00:30:23.409
Which side do you hope they are?

00:30:28.957 --> 00:30:30.375
APPEAL

00:30:34.254 --> 00:30:36.506
Whether I should consider you
your father's child

00:30:36.548 --> 00:30:38.675
or your mother's child…

00:30:39.509 --> 00:30:41.094
I was once troubled over it.

00:30:41.135 --> 00:30:43.388
Treat me as inspector
of the Office of Inspector General.

00:30:44.305 --> 00:30:46.891
Did you think
this appeal would work in any way?

00:30:46.975 --> 00:30:48.518
Even if it does not,

00:30:48.810 --> 00:30:51.437
my duty is to turn it in again and again,

00:30:51.521 --> 00:30:52.981
whether it be ten times or twenty.

00:30:58.194 --> 00:31:01.531
I'd rather have you beg me
to let your father go.

00:31:01.573 --> 00:31:04.117
If he has committed a crime,
he must be punished.

00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:05.994
That is my father's business.

00:31:10.456 --> 00:31:13.459
From the Office of Inspector General
I, Inspector Park Namsang, ask of you.

00:31:14.335 --> 00:31:16.713
The tyranny of the Queen Dowager
worsens day by day.

00:31:17.005 --> 00:31:19.048
Also, a group of cunning eunuchs is

00:31:19.465 --> 00:31:23.303
working with a pagan religion
to even disrupt political affairs.

00:31:23.636 --> 00:31:26.848
They assume power, threaten local leaders,

00:31:26.890 --> 00:31:29.851
and even extort civilian farmlands
and their women.

00:31:31.144 --> 00:31:33.354
All those with common sense
have come together

00:31:33.855 --> 00:31:35.565
to denounce the Queen Dowager.

00:31:35.607 --> 00:31:38.192
Drag Inspector Park out immediately!

00:31:57.170 --> 00:31:59.172
WEST GATE

00:33:05.238 --> 00:33:08.992
They have committed all these crimes
with the Queen Dowager behind them.

00:33:09.283 --> 00:33:11.536
Their crimes must be exposed
in every detail--

00:33:12.954 --> 00:33:15.123
Inspector Park, enough!

00:33:15.164 --> 00:33:16.249
Your Highness!

00:33:18.126 --> 00:33:21.129
His Majesty has come into the city.

00:33:26.718 --> 00:33:30.054
How did the King come into the city?

00:33:30.138 --> 00:33:33.599
The governor of Gyeonggi is here
along with His Majesty.

00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:36.060
Call Minister Cho now.

00:33:36.144 --> 00:33:38.479
Tell him to close all gates

00:33:39.564 --> 00:33:41.691
and not to let anybody in.

00:33:53.286 --> 00:33:54.746
Open up the palace gates!

00:33:55.329 --> 00:33:56.914
His Majesty has returned!

00:34:58.434 --> 00:34:59.393
Drop your swords.

00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:00.812
His Majesty commands it.

00:35:18.955 --> 00:35:20.790
Tie up all eunuchs.

00:35:21.541 --> 00:35:23.251
Make sure the court ladies do not leave.

00:35:24.001 --> 00:35:25.169
-Yes!
-Yes!

00:36:33.446 --> 00:36:34.614
Your Majesty.

00:36:34.739 --> 00:36:36.616
I'm very glad as your mother

00:36:37.241 --> 00:36:39.493
to see how healthy you have become.

00:36:41.746 --> 00:36:43.039
I heard

00:36:43.956 --> 00:36:45.541
you have been troubled because of me.

00:36:48.628 --> 00:36:49.754
Mother.

00:36:53.549 --> 00:36:54.634
You are…

00:36:56.886 --> 00:36:58.888
stepping on the King's road.

00:37:00.890 --> 00:37:01.891
In that case,

00:37:04.560 --> 00:37:06.062
drag me off it.

00:37:08.356 --> 00:37:11.192
Go ahead and dishonor your mother
and provide a good reason

00:37:12.485 --> 00:37:13.694
for your political enemies.

00:37:16.572 --> 00:37:18.824
If you shed a drop of my blood,

00:37:18.908 --> 00:37:20.910
you won't be able to keep your throne.

00:37:22.495 --> 00:37:24.080
I am still…

00:37:26.916 --> 00:37:28.960
your mother.

00:37:42.431 --> 00:37:44.517
Your Highness,
I am a court lady of the King's Palace.

00:37:45.810 --> 00:37:46.686
Put me down.

00:38:09.125 --> 00:38:13.838
THIRD INNER GATE

00:38:19.844 --> 00:38:22.013
Do you know what happened
to the ladies of Chaeokdang?

00:38:42.158 --> 00:38:43.159
Your Highness.

00:38:45.494 --> 00:38:47.747
You were all right.

00:38:55.504 --> 00:38:59.008
Thank you so much for staying alive.

00:39:28.204 --> 00:39:30.039
The King has returned.

00:39:31.791 --> 00:39:35.336
What do you hope will happen to me?

00:39:36.212 --> 00:39:37.713
After high treason,

00:39:38.506 --> 00:39:41.634
the people threw stones
on the wicked woman's body

00:39:41.675 --> 00:39:43.511
which became her grave.

00:39:44.053 --> 00:39:47.723
Then the deposed king died in a hut
without a single ray of sunlight

00:39:49.517 --> 00:39:51.060
all alone.

00:39:52.228 --> 00:39:55.648
That is only reasonable.

00:39:56.982 --> 00:39:58.067
Bad news.

00:39:59.527 --> 00:40:01.529
I'm not like the deposed king.

00:40:02.655 --> 00:40:04.073
He was a king,

00:40:04.115 --> 00:40:05.116
but I am

00:40:06.534 --> 00:40:07.743
the Queen Dowager.

00:40:21.173 --> 00:40:22.842
The King has deceived me.

00:40:24.093 --> 00:40:25.302
Did you know about this?

00:40:27.388 --> 00:40:28.389
Yes.

00:40:30.099 --> 00:40:32.143
If I trusted you more than I had,

00:40:35.271 --> 00:40:36.981
would things have changed?

00:40:38.315 --> 00:40:39.442
I do not think

00:40:40.568 --> 00:40:42.403
things would have been different.

00:40:57.001 --> 00:40:58.752
What do you mean?

00:40:58.878 --> 00:41:01.755
Even the female physician said
His Majesty cannot wake up anymore.

00:41:02.423 --> 00:41:04.216
Do you wish for His Majesty to pass away?

00:41:04.300 --> 00:41:07.887
No, how could I…

00:41:12.016 --> 00:41:13.350
But Father,

00:41:14.727 --> 00:41:16.937
I am also scared of myself.

00:41:18.230 --> 00:41:21.734
How can I meet His Majesty
with this sinful face?

00:41:22.735 --> 00:41:24.904
I couldn't possibly show my face
even in the afterlife.

00:41:25.946 --> 00:41:27.031
I shouldn't have

00:41:28.324 --> 00:41:30.326
turned in your profile for the selection.

00:41:39.335 --> 00:41:40.336
Come out.

00:41:41.253 --> 00:41:43.339
His Majesty ordered your release.

00:41:58.646 --> 00:42:00.356
Please get dressed properly.

00:42:01.357 --> 00:42:03.234
I will run your bath.

00:42:08.864 --> 00:42:10.115
Thank you, my lady.

00:43:09.008 --> 00:43:10.009
Siwol.

00:43:12.845 --> 00:43:14.555
I told you to travel far.

00:43:15.306 --> 00:43:17.141
Why are you laying here?

00:43:19.184 --> 00:43:21.061
Get up. Let us go home.

00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:25.858
Let's go home, Siwol.

00:43:31.864 --> 00:43:32.865
Siwol.

00:43:33.741 --> 00:43:36.035
Open your eyes, Siwol.

00:43:38.579 --> 00:43:40.205
Let's go home.

00:43:42.041 --> 00:43:43.083
Siwol.

00:43:44.460 --> 00:43:46.879
You can't lie here like this.

00:43:58.474 --> 00:44:02.353
So Ttonggeum was buried in that forest?

00:44:02.895 --> 00:44:03.896
Yes.

00:44:03.979 --> 00:44:07.191
I asked the court ladies whom I trained.

00:44:07.316 --> 00:44:10.069
They couldn't take her out of the city.

00:44:12.613 --> 00:44:13.781
They have done well.

00:44:16.200 --> 00:44:18.494
I should be able
to give her a funeral soon.

00:44:20.120 --> 00:44:21.205
Thank you.

00:44:22.790 --> 00:44:26.794
Thanks to you,
I got to say goodbye to her.

00:44:36.512 --> 00:44:38.514
Are they yet to capture Eunuch Heo?

00:45:05.833 --> 00:45:06.875
How can I

00:45:07.960 --> 00:45:09.670
leave the palace?

00:45:12.548 --> 00:45:15.551
I no longer have anywhere to hide.

00:45:37.156 --> 00:45:38.991
All troops are looking for him.

00:45:39.700 --> 00:45:42.995
Eunuch Heo took a noble family's house,
took in a mistress,

00:45:44.037 --> 00:45:45.998
and even set other houses on fire,

00:45:47.207 --> 00:45:48.876
so they will not lose him.

00:45:51.086 --> 00:45:53.297
A court lady saw him
running into the library.

00:45:55.716 --> 00:45:59.219
Eunuch Heo must have caught Ttonggeum
in the secret passage.

00:46:00.721 --> 00:46:03.223
It means he knows
the passage is in the library.

00:46:04.433 --> 00:46:08.353
He'll hide there and wait
until things become quiet.

00:46:11.899 --> 00:46:15.027
He'll be arrested soon.
Please return to your dwelling.

00:46:15.110 --> 00:46:16.236
Yes, Your Majesty.

00:46:24.036 --> 00:46:25.454
What should I do?

00:46:26.246 --> 00:46:27.498
Will you go over yourself?

00:46:28.916 --> 00:46:30.459
I cannot let him die…

00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:33.253
in peace.

00:46:34.379 --> 00:46:35.923
I'll send him over to Siwol

00:46:36.381 --> 00:46:38.509
as payment for his way to the other side.

00:46:52.147 --> 00:46:54.149
Block off all exits of the passage.

00:47:05.160 --> 00:47:06.286
I will never

00:47:07.371 --> 00:47:09.414
use that passage again.

00:47:11.542 --> 00:47:12.668
Never.

00:47:25.597 --> 00:47:28.517
Excuse me! Open this door!

00:47:28.976 --> 00:47:31.979
There is someone inside!

00:47:43.991 --> 00:47:46.159
The things that happened
while I was unconscious is

00:47:46.869 --> 00:47:48.537
utterly wretched.

00:47:49.746 --> 00:47:51.540
Taking the troop dispatch token

00:47:52.124 --> 00:47:54.710
and creating a fake one to deceive
the governors all around

00:47:55.419 --> 00:47:56.753
is clearly and obviously

00:47:58.130 --> 00:47:59.464
a rebellion.

00:48:02.301 --> 00:48:03.635
And everything was committed

00:48:04.303 --> 00:48:07.639
with my mother as the leader,
although she has no business in politics.

00:48:08.056 --> 00:48:11.351
This is a heinous crime
that cannot be forgiven.

00:48:11.435 --> 00:48:13.562
Arrest all those
who created the Interrogation Bureau

00:48:13.604 --> 00:48:14.938
and took part in the rebellion.

00:48:15.022 --> 00:48:18.567
Even if you are a subject of merit,
according to your crimes,

00:48:20.652 --> 00:48:22.487
their honor will be stripped

00:48:22.946 --> 00:48:25.198
and the land and slaves they received
will be taken away.

00:48:41.465 --> 00:48:43.342
Also, those who contributed greatly

00:48:43.467 --> 00:48:45.510
in subduing this rebellion
will be complimented,

00:48:47.888 --> 00:48:49.473
and they will also receive an office.

00:49:21.213 --> 00:49:23.799
Moon Simhyun is the leader
of the Sarim in Songrim.

00:49:23.924 --> 00:49:25.217
How can he be the Left Minister?

00:49:25.258 --> 00:49:27.260
What is this shocking appointment?

00:49:27.386 --> 00:49:28.929
He might change
the three state councilors too.

00:49:29.012 --> 00:49:30.389
Will you let him continue?

00:49:38.730 --> 00:49:39.815
Yes.

00:49:40.565 --> 00:49:41.942
We should let him.

00:49:43.151 --> 00:49:45.112
This is our time to put up with this.

00:49:45.737 --> 00:49:50.242
His Majesty will continue
with the criminals, create justifications,

00:49:50.534 --> 00:49:53.537
and take away the order of merit
from all of his subjects.

00:49:55.122 --> 00:49:56.289
Yes.

00:49:57.833 --> 00:49:59.126
We will let him do this.

00:50:00.961 --> 00:50:04.131
Why won't you hold
Councilor Park responsible?

00:50:04.881 --> 00:50:05.966
Is it

00:50:06.883 --> 00:50:08.468
because of me?

00:50:09.052 --> 00:50:10.303
No.

00:50:11.555 --> 00:50:13.974
I have enough evidence
that he tried to kill the Queen Dowager.

00:50:14.433 --> 00:50:16.351
I can accuse him whenever I must.

00:50:16.435 --> 00:50:18.770
I can put it off for a while.

00:50:23.025 --> 00:50:24.192
I will use him

00:50:26.069 --> 00:50:27.988
as a hunting dog.

00:50:38.290 --> 00:50:42.002
Write down the names of the traitors
who rebelled against me

00:50:42.044 --> 00:50:43.754
by taking advantage of the Queen Dowager.

00:50:45.380 --> 00:50:49.301
Everyone on this list will be eliminated,
even if they are a subject of merit

00:50:51.303 --> 00:50:53.013
or a member of the Royal Family.

00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:57.392
I'm sure there is someone
who convinced her to do this.

00:50:57.893 --> 00:51:00.771
A woman cannot commit
such an atrocious act

00:51:01.813 --> 00:51:03.607
all by herself.

00:51:04.483 --> 00:51:05.650
Your Majesty.

00:51:06.234 --> 00:51:08.070
I wish to speak to you alone.

00:51:12.741 --> 00:51:13.617
You may.

00:51:28.340 --> 00:51:30.092
Who do you wish to take out?

00:51:30.217 --> 00:51:33.553
The late king, my father,
gave merit to the subjects

00:51:33.804 --> 00:51:35.972
according to the list the subjects made.

00:51:36.348 --> 00:51:37.933
I shall also punish those on the list

00:51:38.975 --> 00:51:40.769
according to our customs.

00:51:41.770 --> 00:51:43.522
How far do you wish to punish?

00:51:45.982 --> 00:51:47.818
I can't finish it
with a slap on the wrist.

00:51:49.945 --> 00:51:51.947
After the limbs

00:51:53.115 --> 00:51:54.366
come the head.

00:51:55.575 --> 00:51:56.535
Your Majesty.

00:51:56.576 --> 00:51:58.662
If you wish to lose just the limbs,

00:52:00.247 --> 00:52:02.165
bring me the Queen Dowager.

00:52:05.669 --> 00:52:07.963
I will treat the Queen Dowager with honor

00:52:09.172 --> 00:52:10.674
until the very end.

00:52:12.801 --> 00:52:14.803
I cannot dishonor my mother

00:52:15.470 --> 00:52:17.389
and give cause to start a rebellion.

00:52:18.974 --> 00:52:20.851
So you subjects must step up

00:52:21.810 --> 00:52:23.562
and depose my mother.

00:52:24.688 --> 00:52:25.689
That is

00:52:26.690 --> 00:52:29.442
how you will get to keep

00:52:30.902 --> 00:52:32.571
your petty lives.

00:52:50.589 --> 00:52:53.592
I, Left State Councilor Park Gyewon,

00:52:54.426 --> 00:52:56.845
accept His Majesty's order as my command!

00:53:00.515 --> 00:53:02.142
I will…

00:53:07.856 --> 00:53:10.942
depose the Queen Dowager!

00:54:25.934 --> 00:54:28.561
You survived once again,
thanks to your father.

00:54:31.147 --> 00:54:32.232
Your luck

00:54:33.233 --> 00:54:34.693
will not last long.

00:54:35.986 --> 00:54:38.238
Councilor Park's power has fallen.

00:54:38.321 --> 00:54:40.532
How can you last any longer?

00:54:40.573 --> 00:54:43.034
You caused Ttonggeum's death.

00:54:46.579 --> 00:54:48.707
One day,
I will make you pay for her death.

00:54:51.584 --> 00:54:53.003
After my installation ceremony,

00:54:53.753 --> 00:54:58.300
I will treat you as the Queen does
a concubine and subject.

00:54:58.425 --> 00:55:01.636
What have I done wrong?

00:55:02.262 --> 00:55:03.888
You're a fake.

00:55:03.972 --> 00:55:06.725
You deceived the world
and the Royal Family.

00:55:07.183 --> 00:55:10.562
His Majesty may keep the crafters safe,

00:55:11.146 --> 00:55:12.439
but that fact won't change.

00:55:14.858 --> 00:55:15.984
The crafters are…

00:55:18.028 --> 00:55:19.571
kept safe by his Majesty?

00:55:19.988 --> 00:55:23.450
My father has kept an eye on them,
so he's well aware of this.

00:55:24.326 --> 00:55:26.578
When Eunuch Heo tried to take them in,

00:55:26.661 --> 00:55:28.997
the troops of a governor
kept them safe, didn't they?

00:55:32.042 --> 00:55:34.336
Let's see how long His Majesty will

00:55:35.879 --> 00:55:37.088
keep you safe.

00:55:52.520 --> 00:55:53.772
How did His Majesty

00:55:55.607 --> 00:55:58.610
know the crafters would fall in danger

00:56:00.487 --> 00:56:01.821
and kept them safe?

00:56:18.088 --> 00:56:19.964
Is His Majesty in bed?

00:56:20.048 --> 00:56:22.258
No, he's still in his royal office.

00:56:22.342 --> 00:56:24.844
It seems like he will be late,
so please come in.

00:56:26.638 --> 00:56:27.806
I will wait here.

00:56:27.931 --> 00:56:29.516
He gave me the order

00:56:29.641 --> 00:56:32.352
to escort you in immediately
no matter when you come.

00:58:58.665 --> 00:58:59.707
Is Consort Park here?

00:59:00.291 --> 00:59:01.543
She is, Your Majesty.

00:59:26.985 --> 00:59:28.027
Consort Park.

00:59:32.824 --> 00:59:35.243
There were subjects who did not show up…

00:59:37.620 --> 00:59:39.914
during the regency of the Queen Dowager.

00:59:44.836 --> 00:59:46.713
Left Minister No Kyungmoon.

00:59:48.715 --> 00:59:49.882
Minister of Taxation Park Chanwe.

00:59:52.135 --> 00:59:53.928
Left Vice Minister Ko Inhyuk.

00:59:55.555 --> 00:59:57.181
Minister of Commerce Im Joyong.

01:00:16.868 --> 01:00:18.036
I have seen

01:00:19.454 --> 01:00:20.788
this arrangement before.

01:00:26.377 --> 01:00:30.340
I saw it before you collapsed.

01:00:35.219 --> 01:00:38.306
The one who caused
the regency by the Queen Dowager,

01:00:39.390 --> 01:00:42.310
the one who shook this nation
and let it fall in danger was…

01:00:47.607 --> 01:00:48.900
you…

01:00:51.110 --> 01:00:52.987
and your design?

01:01:35.655 --> 01:01:38.658
BLOODY HEART

01:01:59.137 --> 01:02:00.596
Ttonggeum has died.

01:02:00.680 --> 01:02:03.015
She died because of your scheming.

01:02:03.141 --> 01:02:06.394
They are not to be dealt with
by justice and righteousness alone.

01:02:06.477 --> 01:02:08.187
Please step down on your own.

01:02:08.271 --> 01:02:11.899
His Majesty wishes for your death.

01:02:11.983 --> 01:02:13.776
Deposement will not be enough.

01:02:13.860 --> 01:02:16.028
She will once again use filial duty
to pressure me.

01:02:16.154 --> 01:02:18.740
Will you have her assassinated?

01:02:18.865 --> 01:02:20.450
I would have done the same if I were King.

01:02:20.575 --> 01:02:22.618
His Majesty and I are very much alike.

01:02:22.702 --> 01:02:24.871
His Majesty is nothing like you.

01:02:24.996 --> 01:02:26.581
He shall be different.

01:02:27.081 --> 01:02:29.167
And so, I will…

01:02:29.292 --> 01:02:31.169
keep His Majesty in check.
