Queen Seon Deok
Enjoy:)
Episode 18
They will appear at the hour of ox. (between 1~2 a.m.)
We must take care of this quickly and covertly.
Do you understand?
Yes, Sir!
I am a twin?!
Oh... You also have a birth mark here.
What?
Ah...This?
I have it also.
Oh... Even the shape is very similar.
The order Chilsuk received from Mishil...
was to capture me and bring me back.
Why?
I have to find that out..
Maybe then, I will have the answers to who I really am.
Deokman is...
Are you prepared?
Yes, Sir.
All matters of tonight must be kept a secret.
By all means... This must not be revealed.
At the hour of ox (between 1~2 a.m.), a suspicious person will appear here.
We must definitely capture that person at all cost.
By chance... if you aren't able to capture that person...
Then, you must kill.
Hoguk Seondo, spread out and take your position.
Yes, Sir!
Bicheon Jido, spread out and take your position.
Yes, Sir!
They must kill?
They must kill?!
Mishil... and his Majesty as well...
Both of them want me dead...
Why...?!
Why?!!
You there?!
Are you Bicheon Jido or Hoguk Seondo?
Answer me?!
Are you a Hoguk Seondo's vassal?!
I will ask you one last time.
Who are you?
Turn around.
Turn around!
Over here! He is here!
Hoguk Seondo, chase after him.
Yes, Sir!
Bicheon Jido, it's northwest! Chase after him.
I lost him.
We were right behind him, so he couldn't have gone too far ahead of us...
We will spread out, and search for him.
You?! This way!
Yes, Sir!
Let's go!
You?! That way!
Let's go!
Show yourself.
I'd even received an order to kill you.
Show yourself if you wish to live.
I am only going to warn you this one time...
So, show yourself!
You...?
Archeon Rang?
You wretch...
Archeon Rang?! Where are you?!
How is it that you...?!
Please pay your debt to me in a big way.
Much bigger?
Then, you must pay me back in a really big way.
Archeon Rang?! Where is he?!
This way... Chase him
Archeon Rang?! Please pay your debt to me in a big way.
Please...
Archeon Rang?!
Are you alright?! Where did he go?!
He went that way! Chase after him!
Yes, Sir. Let's go.
What do you mean by that?
What are you saying?
Twins? That you are a twin?
Mother, please tell me.
I must know... I need to know for sure!
What did you hear that you come here asking me something so absurd!
When a king has twins... All seeds from Seonggeol* men will be dried up.
*sacred bone
When I was ten years old... when my second younger brother died...
Lady Mishil whispered something in my ear...
"it's your fault"...
That my younger brother died... because of me.
Back then, I didn't understand what she meant.
Even when my third younger brother died... I had no idea.
But now, I must know.
Am I...
A...Twin..?
It's not your fault...
It's because of me.
I...
I gave birth to twins...
It's all because of me...
It's because... I gave birth to twins.
Mother.
How... difficult it must have been for you.
Now... What am I suppose to do?
Then... What happened to my younger sibling?
She died.
She died right after birth.
We couldn't let out words about the twins, so we kept it a secret.
I see... So, that's what happened.
It's not your fault at all.
So, you can't think of it like that at all.
Do you understand?
That child... was he my younger sibling?
Yes...
She came out... a little bit after you.
Was it a boy or a girl?
The birthmark behind the ear was the same...
And, like you... she was pretty...
It was a girl.
So, it wasn't a boy?
My younger twin sibling... wasn't a boy?
What's going on here?
Is my mother telling me a lie... or..?
Princess!
What is going on?
That is...
Seju Mishil is here.
What should I do?
Tell her to come in.
What bring you here so late at night?
Yes... Please forgive me for visiting you at this late hour.
Not at all, please have a seat.
I have a painting that I would like to present to you...
In my haste to present it to you, I forgot about my manners.
A painting?
Hey, you over there.
It's the great King Jinheung in his youth.
I'm embarrassed from my lack of ability.
Not at all, it's a nice painting.
You must have put in a lot of effort.
Yes.
While you were busy looking for the Sadaham's Maehwa,
I was kept busy drawing this painting.
What is your purpose in giving me this painting?
Since you aren't too familiar about King Jinheung,
I thought this might be of a little help to you.
"The one who gathers the people will become the master of one's era".
Aren't those the words of King Jinheung?
Yes. In order to gain a person, one must grant that person what they want.
Or threaten that person with something they fear.
And?
Yushin Rang and Nangdo Deokman, whom you consider as your vassals.
Do you know what they want or what they fear?
Although, they are who they are, but they still have a long way to go.
Both are precious people, but it's worrisome to think they might met the wrong master.
Please take good care of them.
You seem to be envious.
Am I right?
Seju, your advice, and the words of King Jinheung. I've heard them well.
It's getting late, so why don't you head for your sleeping chamber.
Yes, I will take my leave now.
Excuse me, Seju?
Is that dagger... the seoyeopdo?
Yes.
You've never seen it before?
It's the same seoyeopdo that saved both you and King Jinheung.
By chance... if you aren't able to capture that person...
Then, you must kill.
Exactly... Who am I?
Who can I trust? Who?!
If his Majesty is trying to kill me...
Then, the princess is...
No, no way...
If I can't even trust the princess...
Yushin Rang?! What am I... really suppose to do?
Deokman... has lied to me.
How do you know about it in such detail?
Ah... That is...
Lady Mishil just explained it to me in that way.
Do you have any more knowledge in regards to the seoyeopdo?
I... do not.
Is this your?
It's pretty.
Oh... Yes.
How can Deokman have that in his possession?
Deokman is hiding something from me.
But why?!
4301.
4302.
4303.
4304.
The nation that was founded on sweats of blood...
it was handed over to Shilla as a whole!
Despite that, it's our family's duty to live on.
This father of yours, must not only follow what is righteous.
If it's beneficial to our family, then...
I am willing to accept any disgrace that may fall upon me.
Yushin Rang, you must not act with such carelessness.
You must always be prudent and be able to control your rage.
One.
Two.
Three...
Should I call Yushin Rang over here?
No need, I will wait.
He is going to do 10,000 of those?
Princess...?
OK, I am thirsty.
Let's go down and get some water before we come back.
Princess?
Are you also here to meet Yushin Rang?
Leave us.
Shall we go back to being friends for a little while?
Must be killed.
No, Madam... If it's done carelessly, then it might become a habit.
Please give me your command.
Is there something you would like to say?
Yes. I do have something to ask you.
Yes. Please speak.
Have you... ever deceived me?
Even if you did hide something from me, all you have to do is make me understand.
I will not make a big deal out of it.
By chance... Have you deceived me about something?
No, I do not.
I have not... deceived you.
Is that... the truth?
Yes, Madam.
In regards to yesterday night, it must not be revealed under any circumstances.
You must keep all your Nangdos under strict supervision.
But of course. Please do not worry.
Yes, I understand.
Elder Daedeung?
What is it?
The person we were trying to capture... Who is he?
You do not need to know.
I, as well as Bicheon Jido hold you in high regard and also have trust in you.
Therefore, we carried out this task yesterday believing it to be righteous.
However, we, Bicheon Jido have no intention of getting involved in any political war.
Who were we trying to capture?
Please tell me.
One who seeks to destroy his Majesty's empire. A criminal of high treason.
Look at this. It looks mighty fancy.
Look at its shine, its shine... Isn't it to die for?
Yes, it's true, but I feel guilty.
Is it alright for us to be doing this?
What is?
Deokman clearly told us to only put it in its place, and not to touch anything.
Therefore, how could we bring this thing out?
Just think about it. Did we go there to steal something?
We did not go there to steal anything...
We went there to drop something off.
That's right!
Since we went there to drop something off,
taking something as we are coming out, is only fair.
- You're right. - Exactly!
But, Hyung? What are we going to buy with this?
What merchandise is good at the marketplace?
Penguin's scrotum!
Penguin's scrotum?! But, that is so valuable!
Then... What are you going to use that for?
You wretch! Of course, I know where to use that for.
Really?!
Ahhh... I don't have a use for it.
Were you on watch that night?
Yes, my apologies.
How could you be unaware of thieves laying their hands on the appeal reports?!
My apologies.
How did they make their way in there?
It seems to me that they removed the roof tiles, and entered through the ceiling.
Did they leave any other trace?
They left no other trace, and I'm not quite certain about this, but...
What is it?
There was once an jade ink holder, but it hasn't been seen since that day.
An ink holder?
Last night, Archeon Rang and Imjong Rang took up position at Songgyeong forest,
but they failed to capture anyone.
And now, they are questioning all dealers who deals with stolen merchandise.
Dealers of stolen merchandise?
Yes. There was a break-in at the assembly hall,
and an ink holder was apparently stolen.
Someone broke into the assembly hall, and all they took was an ink holder?
What kind of a thief who is stupid enough to risk his life for an ink holder, huh?
That's probably not it...
Most likely, they went in there with a different purpose,
but seeing that it was right there, they just walked out with the ink holder.
Different purpose?
If they broke into the assembly hall,
then they were either looking for an internal affairs report,
or an appeal report that are brought up to his majesty.
However, other than the ink holder, nothing else was missing.
You see! Nothing else was missing!
It was the ink holder they went to steal, the ink holder!
Those stupid idiots! An ink holder.
That's not it.
It's a possibility that their intention wasn't to steal anything.
What?
It could be to place something there, and not to steal.
Ah! You're right.
It might have been to relay some message to his majesty.
Yes.
It might not have been a simple case of burglary.
So, please keep a close eye on this matter.
Yes, Mother.
Princess, how much longer are you willing to wait for him?
I will go and bring Yushin Rang.
No, that's alright.
In order to maintain his concentration,
he is a person who mustn't lose his focus,
not even once until he is done with his 10,000 strikes.
So, let us wait.
Yes, Madam.
Princess?
What brings you here?
In seeing you being so devoted to your training,
it reminds me of you back in the day in Manno County.
Which one would you prefer?
Back then? Or now?
Being at fault for not knowing anything,
and not having the need to know anything...
When all that was needed was just to devout yourself to training.
By trusting in yourself.
And in the nangdos who follow you.
I'm referring to that time.
I am the same as before.
I still believe in myself and still believe in those nangdos who follow me.
Is that right?
I yearn for those times.
Did something happen?
Have you...
ever been suspicious of someone you've trusted?
I, Yushin, never trusted anyone I've been suspicious of,
and I've never been suspicious of anyone that I trust.
Is that right?
Archeon Rang, what brings you here?
Since you're in the middle of training, I'll get straight to the point.
Upon Daedeung Eulje's order,
Bicheon Jido set out to capture a criminal of high treason.
Criminal of high treason?
He is said to have laid his hands on the appeals reports in assembly hall.
Appeals reports?
How could anyone do such a thing?
I don't know the reason... but, why don't you ask yourself?
What are you talking about?
That is...
It's your nangdo, Deokman.
What are you saying?! Why would Deokman do such a thing?!
I am certain he has fallen into another trap.
Yushin Rang, I caught him at the scene.
At the time, I let him go.
After much thought, I've decided to let you know.
Since he is your vassal, this matter is now yours to deal with.
We've caught the dealer who traded for the stolen ink holder.
And?
He said that two men came to him and traded this ink holder for another item.
Here it is.
What kind of wretches were they?
He said they were dressed in plain clothes,
but he overheard them talking about "nangmun", so they must be nangdos, right?
What did they get in return?
That is...
Apparently... it was for a penguin's scrotum.
How about if do it like this?
Hey, what is this all about, huh?
What is it about?
What are they doing?
Hey, Jukbang! What's going on here, huh?!
I have no idea, you wretch. Do you know?
I'm asking you because I don't know, you loudmouth!
If you don't know, then you should ask politely, you wretch!
- You bastard! You wretch! - Hey, hey!
All Nangdos!
Get in your formation line!
Search this place!
We're looking for a medicine type stuff! Search thoroughly!
Yes, Sir!
- Keep searching! - Yes, Sir!
Right now, the guards are searching through your mountain hideouts!
It is necessary to hunt down thieves, so do not take this personally!
Furthermore, starting immediately.
We will conduct a full body search on each Nangdo.
- Hey...?! - Huh?
Where is that thing?
It's right here, but what are we going to do?
Just stay still.
Starting with Cheonryong Ikdo,
five at a time will step forward.
Remove your tops.
Yes, Sir.
Lower your trousers.
OK. That's enough.
Next.
Next!
Remove your tops.
Lower your trousers.
Shake your clothes.
OK. That's enough.
Next.
Next!
- Search this place! - Yes, Sir!
Sergeant?!
What is it?
There is something in here!
Break it!
Yes, Sir.
Next.
Remove your tops.
Lower your trousers.
Shake your clothes.
What?! Something like that happened at the assembly hall?
But, you're saying that Daedeung Eulje intercepted that appeal report?!
- That is... It was placed there without any knowledge... - Regardless!!
Didn't he tried to take care of this matter on his own
before it was even reported to me in the first place?!
Call Daedeuing Eulje over immediately.
No. Tell him to come to the assembly hall.
I will head over to the assembly hall. Now!!
Yes, yes, Your Majesty.
Next.
Hyungnim?! We are next!
I know!
Hey... Give it to me!
- How could I eat this raw?! - If we're caught, we're finished!
Hey?! Don't eat all of it. If you eat all of it, then you’re dead!
Next.
OK. That's enough.
Next.
Next!
What are you doing?!!
Next.
Remove your tops.
What are you doing? Take it off now.
You wretch! Why aren't you taking it off?!
I said, take if off now!
Elder Daedeung?!
Elder Daedeung!
Elder Daedeung! You must quickly head over to the palace.
What is the matter?
It's almost over, so please inform him that I will head over there once it's done.
No, you must not! His Majesty is furious!
Right now... You must head over to the assembly hall right away!
His Majesty is already there at the assembly hall!
Sohwa...?!
Halt! Who are you?
Your Majesty.
I said, halt! Are you a shrine maiden?
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, I apologize.
She is a shrine maiden, but she has lost her senses, so...
- Take her away. - Yes, ma'am.
I will make sure something like this doesn't happen again.
Please do so.
Your Majesty. That shrine maiden is...
Am I right?
What did you say?
Apparently, the person with the seoyeopdo has appeared!
He said he wanted to return the seoyeopdo, so he sent a request to his majesty.
Didn't you ask about the seoyeopdo?
Are you certain you have no more knowledge about this?
I do not.
She was definitely that palace maid, Sohwa.
What happened?
Didn't you say that she was dead?!
Your Majesty, you must not deceive me.
Please have trust in me and tell me.
How did this happen?! How is Sohwa still alive?
Shouldn't we go looking for Sohwa first?
She was with priestess Seori!
Mishil has been keeping Sohwa! Mishil is!
Your Majesty, please calm yourself.
Right now, it's imperative that we assess the situation first.
Then, was Sohwa in possession... of the seoyeopdo?
If not, then Mishil could also have been in possession of it.
I'm just saying, with the possession of the seoyeopdo,
this might all be a scheme that Mishil conjured up.
Therefore, please tell me. What did you do with Sohwa?
Your Majesty?
What happened?
Priestess Seori took that shrine maiden and went inside the shrine.
Who is that shrine maiden?
Then, what do we do about the Nangdos at the training facility?
There is no more need to examine them. Please have them disperse.
She went up to his majesty?
Yes. Even though she has lost her senses,
but seeing how she is so capable of making her escape...
As if she is familiar with all the palace roads.
However...
Yes?
After his Majesty saw that woman...
I told you it's dangerous for you to go outside.
A long time has passed, but if someone were to recognize you, then...
I don't think we can continue like this.
We must now lock-down all of the doors.
Today could have been very disastrous.
She even went all the way in front of the assembly hall.
According to Master Wolcheon, she is suffering from an illness that is...
Come to think of it... I still do not know her name.
It's Ch.. Chungnin...
OK. Chungnin.
Master Wolcheon mentioned that Chungnin's illness is from the mind,
so rather than any medicine, time is of the essence.
We will put aside time to treat her, so do not worry.
Yes, Madam.
However, it's a relief to know that Chilsuk Rang's eyes are improving.
Master Wolcheon's healing skills are just as we've heard...
Chilsuk...
is lying right now.
Pardon?
Where is Lord Misaeng? Tell him to come. I have something to confirm.
Yes. Madam.
Stop laughing and lose some weight. You're always stuffing yourself. Look at this, huh?
Alright!
- How can you still laugh? Look at this! - Alright. Alright!
Ahh... What's your problem?!
Lose some weight.
What a pathetic view...
What are you laughing at, you wretch?
They said it's over.
What's over?!
They've caught the thief.
You loudmouths, what are you doing with your clothes off, huh?
Why did we even take our clothes off?
Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait...
- What? - Open your mouth!
- What? - I said open your mouth, you wretch!!
Noooo! Open your mouth!
Aigoo... You ate it all! You ate it all! You ate it all!
Open your mouth!
You ate all that expensive stuff! Open your mouth, you bastard!
You ate everything! That expensive stuff!
You forced me eat it. It's useless for me.
What do you mean it's useless! I have use for it!
You... really...! Talk to me, alright!
You wretch, it's good for the body, so how could you eat the whole thing?!
You... How could you eat all that expensive stuff?!
Why do you keep on doing this!!
Hey, hey. You didn't really swallow the whole thing yet, right?
You are still hiding it real good inside your mouth somewhere, right?!
Open your mouth again!
Let go of me! You forced me to eat it, so why do you keep doing this, huh?!
Just because I told you to eat it, how could you eat the whole thing?!
What's this? What were those wretches looking for to make a mess of this place?!
Those wretches!! I'm already pissed off!
What's all this?! Isn't this is too much!
I am sorry for this!
Aigoo... You must have worked very hard just searching.
That's why I said we need to be organized, you wretches!
So, did they catch the thief?
I don't know that. I'm just following orders from the people high up.
Then, why are you here again? They are even finished with the body search.
Ohhh... This, this, this! So, what is this?!
I came back to return this. Here!
I didn't touch anything, OK! Then, I'll get going now.
OK, OK... Please be careful.
Hey, this is belongs to Deokman.
What is this? Is it for the knees?
Maybe, this is...
That's right, even my older sister had something like this.
If this is that, then...
Why is this here?
Wait!!
Geez... You scared me.
It's strange, but I have the urge to pee.
Me too...
Deokman, let's go pee.
I'm fine.
What? Did you sprain it?
Yes, I think so. Awww!
You should be more careful.
Get on my back.
Hey, you wretch, how can you carry me?
I can carry rice sacks, so what's the big deal?
Godo hyung is hurt.
Go ahead.
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
Aigoo... I'm being carried on Deokman's back.
What are you doing? Take it off now!
You wretch! Why aren't you taking it off?!
How could I not know about this till now.
What do you know now?
This Jukbang, once well known in the circles of many courtesans...
This Jukbang is now a shell of its old self.
What is?
Have you guys... ever taken a bath with Deokman before?
No...
Deokman said he has an awful scar on his body, so he never wanted to...
Even Yushin Rang said that Deokman's scar has its own story, so he didn't have to.
Yushin Rang?
That's right, there was that also.
C'mon?! What is it?!
What?! What is it?!
Hey!!!
What a bunch of pathetic fools! What a...!
Aren't people always saying that you guys are clueless?
Uhhh...Yes.
What a... Ai... aigoo!
Wow, this Jukbang didn't know... This Jukbang...
This one of a kind Jukbang didn't... What a... What a...
This Jukbang didn't know... This Jukbang...
Wooow... This Jukbang, one of a kind Jukbang.
What's the matter?
I've never told you about how I met Deokman.
I first met Deokman when I was on my way to Yeorae Temple in Manno County.
At that time, Deokman said he was on his way to meet Munno.
I was also on my way there...
We overcame some dangerous situations, and we eventually made it to Yeorae Temple.
Back then, I thought we had a special connection.
A coincidence, I thought...
But... It wasn't a coincidence nor a special connection.
What is it?
Don't say anything and just follow me. You wretch!
What are you trying to say?
When the seven stars of the Big Dipper became eight.
Twin girls were born in Shilla.
The sixth star of the Big Dipper split into two, and...
Two princesses were born.
But, through the prophecy which says that a king
having twins will dry up all seeds from Seonggeol men...
Therefore, one child was taken outside of the palace with King Jinheung's seoyeopdo.
And that child with the seoyeopdo...
has returned to the palace.
That child was in search of Munno in order to find out about his own birth.
That child has the same birthmark behind the ear as I have on mine.
That child is in possession of King Jinheung's seoyeopdo.
All those signs...
are pointing at...
Deokman.
But... There is one thing that is not right.
The twin princesses.
Isn't Deokman a male?
What's the matter?! I don't have an illness!
Wow... It's confirmed.
What is?!
Deokman? This also come as a shock to me, but...
You...
are a girl, right?
What... What are you talking about?
What's the matter?
What's the matter with you?!
Princess.
If what you just said is the truth...
You... are a girl.
Am I right?
I'm correct, right?
My goodness, how could you have hidden that fact all this time?
And, how could I have not known about that fact till now?
Hyungnim! Please keep this a secret, OK?!
My, my, my goodness. You are one scary wretch...
No wait. A scary wench.
Hyungnim, only you must know about this.
You must never tell Yushin Rang, OK?!
Hey you? Have you ever told Yushin Rang about the scar on your body?
No, never.
Yushin Rang knows. He knew it all along.
What?!
You had an awful story about your scar,
so we were given an order not to fool around with you.
That is what he said.
Yu... Yu... Yushin Rang knows?
Princess!
Deokman is...
Deokman is a female.
Hey you? Have you ever told Yushin Rang about the scar on your body?
By chance, if my younger sister didn't die when she was born.
Right now, that Sohwa has returned.
You never forget a face that you've seen once before, right?
She is that palace maid...
The one who disappeared with that other twin.
She is his Majesty's palace maid.
That person witnessed the twin girls, so we must extract that person.
You want me to hide this fact.
You mustn't act rashly...
You really must not.
So, what you're saying is... You know where she is?
Yes... I do.
