Episode 12
It was so foolish of me to follow you to find the monster serpent.
You should stop complaining!
Can I not talk with my own mouth?
Enough, you two. This is why you're Aung and Daung...
You little...
Where are you going?
Smallpox...
This is smallpox.
Smallpox?
You shouldn't go near them.
Sleepy, sleepy, my baby. Sleep well, my baby.
Why is he crying all of a sudden? What's going on?
Hey, Gil Dong! What's wrong?
Gil Dong! My poor baby!
Smallpox is spreading.
Does this mean that the goddess of smallpox is here?
The goddess of smallpox?
There's no goddess. It's just another disease.
Now you think a real disease to be the work of a ghost?
We'll have our own deep discussion
on the goddess of smallpox and the monster serpent.
You may leave.
Why are there so many flies here? This place is full of flies!
All different kinds of flies!
You should be glad that the flies are here instead of the goddess of smallpox!
I heard if we write an amulet with red letters
we might be able to avoid the disease.
Should we write one for each person?
That's right.
I also heard that if we call out the names of gods
21 times when a rooster cries in the morning
we can avoid the disease.
- Is that so? - Look, everyone!
You can't be swayed by such rumors.
You must trust yourself. These are all superstitions!
I guess so.
Let's drink up.
My Prince!
The doors of the Treasury were locked.
As if they were walls from the beginning...
I couldn't open them no matter what.
It's weird. We could go there before.
Perhaps Sadam did something to lock the doors.
It might be an uphill battle from now on.
I don't know why only bad things are happening...
Now we have the goddess of smallpox...
You should find Sadam first. He's probably still in the capital.
He wouldn't abandon the monster serpent that he spent 12 years searching for.
Move, quickly!
Her royal highness does not wish to see you today.
I'm here because I'm worried about my grandmother.
I need to see how she's doing. So step aside.
I told you not to frequent the Palace anymore.
I said that not too long ago.
You should leave.
Grandmother. I'm here because I'm worried.
Smallpox is spreading.
I'm fine. You should leave.
Remember what I said to you if you're truly worried about me.
Understood?
Grandmother...
Show him out, Handmaiden Lee.
Yes, my Queen.
What are you doing? Let go of me!
Untie me. Who do you think I am?
I'm the daughter of the Prime Minister.
My father is the Prime Minister!
Is there anyone who doesn't know that in this kingdom?
My King...
Long time no see, my Lady.
I can give you what you want.
Terrible news, Prime Minister.
You shouldn't be here right now.
The King is interrogating your daughter himself.
What? The King is?
My King.
Halt.
What is it?
I've been thinking about what I should do with you.
It wouldn't do any good for you to be here...
There's something more important than that.
Something more important than this?
What could it be?
Smallpox is spreading throughout the capital.
I'm aware.
It's more serious than you think.
A countless number of corpses are being carted out of the capital at this moment.
I've given my order to open more clinics and release all necessary medicines.
You should be more concerned about your own safety!
How could the Prime Minister of this kingdom
only be concerned about his own safety?
Only Maeranbang has all the effective medicines against smallpox right now.
Everyone will die if Maeranbang doesn't release its medicines!
That is none of your business! I'll take care of it!
Father...
Welcome home, sir.
In Hwa...
This is all because of Prince Wolgang...
Prince Wolgang... The goddess of smallpox...
This is all because of Prince Wolgang...
Prince Wolgang brought the goddess of smallpox...
Prince Wolgang brought smallpox to take over the throne...
Mom, I hear something from the well.
Prince Wolgang brought the goddess of smallpox.
It's Prince Wolgang.
I heard Prince Wolgang is to blame for all this.
That's right.
Apparently he prayed every night calling the goddess of smallpox.
- Every night? - That's right.
How could he do that as a prince of this kingdom?
You should be careful too.
Prince Wolgang brought the goddess of smallpox.
Prince Wolgang brought smallpox to take over the throne...
My King, the Queen Dowager does not wish to see you today.
What? She wants me to leave?
I'm here to give her my regards. But she wants me to just leave?
That's what the Queen Dowager said.
I guess she's trying to ignore me too.
No wonder why everyone thinks I'm a joke!
Even my own grandmother doesn't want to see me!
That's not true, my King. Please calm down.
Calm down? I hate hearing that!
My King...
Are you showing your contempt for the head of this kingdom, Grandmother?
I'm your grandson, trying to see how you're doing!
Would you ever treat Wolgang like this?
My King. Not today.
Grandmother!
My King! Please calm down.
Please respect the Queen Dowager's request!
Why is this door locked? Open it now!
Open it! Open it now!
Please step back, my King!
Open this door!
Grandmother...
Escort him out, Handmaiden Lee.
Grandmother... Is it smallpox?
Leave now. Leave!
You might catch it too, my King! You must leave!
Let go of me!
Why didn't you tell me, Grandmother?
She locked herself in because she didn't want to harm you...
Quiet...
She's been surviving only on medicine...
Grandmother...
Leave now, my King.
You must protect your body.
Leave! Leave now!
Grandmother...
Send the royal doctor to grandmother. Now!
The royal doctor? Nonsense!
If you leave her like that, the goddess of smallpox will come to you too!
But now you want to send her the royal doctor?
Who would rejoice the most if you catch smallpox?
Probably Prince Wolgang! That's what he's going for!
So come to your senses!
I can see all these ghosts of smallpox tagging on your body...
Here, here, and here...
I can't even count them!
No!
Shut up!
Don't ever try to use me again.
Anyone out there?
I'm going to pray.
I'll clean myself then start praying for
the swift recovery of Grandmother and my people!
Go away!
This is maddening!
Why is everyone staring at me like that?
This is total nonsense!
They say the goddess of smallpox...
was brought here by you.
The goddess of smallpox...
Nonsense.
You must be careful. The vibe here isn't too great.
I think you should stay at home on a day like today.
Yes?
Don't worry.
I heard you used to be a Night Watchman too.
So you must know something about my sister too, right?
I really don't know anything about that.
All I did was just write down the things I was told.
Sir...
I guess Do Ha is quite frustrated too.
Sang Heon and I had some difficulty stopping her from going for Sadam.
I heard the Night Watchmen used to repel ghosts away.
But how come they can't get rid of Sadam or the goddess of smallpox?
Well...
That's because Sang Heon is the only survivor who can still use magic.
All I was good for was keeping the journal.
It takes a lot of men to seal ghosts and repel them...
by using magic and formations.
It's not something that can be done by Sang Heon alone.
Do you know how to make the Four Tigers Sword?
I heard that sword can block any disaster or dark energy.
There's no such sword anywhere in this world.
Smallpox was reported in this neighborhood on the first day of the month.
Two days later, it was reported in the neighborhood next to it.
And went on spreading.
This is the route of the goddess of smallpox.
Then, tonight...
She'll be at Sujinbang.
He told me to not let anyone in. I don't think he's feeling well.
Amulets!
My Prince!
The Four Tigers Sword has disappeared...
I bet Sang Heon went by himself to fight the goddess of smallpox!
He's in no shape to face the goddess by himself!
Don't worry.
I...
I'll stop her at all cost.
Hurry up!
Not here.
Where could he possibly be?
Don't ever set foot again in the world of humans.
No!
Sir!
In Hwa...
Are you okay?
I'm fine. I am...
Wait... Wait here...
My Prince!
They have disappeared.
I'm sure they came this way...
This is...
We're at Maeranbang.
Why did they come to Maeranbang?
That man is hiding here...
Sadam is hiding here.
Then he...
He brought in the goddess of smallpox.
Sadam brought in the goddess of smallpox.
What's wrong?
Sadam is in need of more ghosts.
He was probably angry that he lost all these ghosts because of you.
So he probably brought in the goddess of smallpox to turn people into ghosts.
We must stop that man.
Please teach me...
how to stop ghosts.
Please teach me the skills of the Night Watchmen.
Skills of the Night Watchmen?
You don't need to do this all by yourself.
I'll do it myself.
We'll do it.
The weapons of the Night Watchmen cannot be used without proper training.
If you don't have enough magical power, you'll lose your own soul to the weapon.
So don't even think about it.
The Prince and I can see ghosts. So we can probably use the weapons.
You can't deal with the goddess of smallpox with just you two.
- Wolmae... - What is it?
Think about it carefully again.
Don't you think I'd be better than Sang Heon?
How? How are you better than him?
I...
I can stay with you for a long time.
Why aren't you saying anything?
I'm feeling uneasy about that too.
But still...
He's the only man for me. Even if we're together for only one day.
What is it?
My King, the medicine to cure smallpox has run out.
This is causing an uproar among the people right now.
Even Maeranbang sold all its medicine. Nothing is left in stock, my King.
What? Then who bought all the medicines?
We must tell him to release his stock!
Tell him we'll pay whatever he wants!
The problem is that no one knows who he is.
We're doing everything we can, but we can't find him.
I must get the medicines...
Otherwise the people will jump the palace wall and kill me!
Sadam! What if...
No, I can't rely on Sadam anymore. I can't rely on him...
My King...
Why do I feel so cold? Why is it so cold all of a sudden?
Are you ill, my King?
I got the disease! I got the disease from Grandmother!
This is all because of her! Kick her out!
Please calm down, my King!
People are not blaming you for this disease!
People say Prince Wolgang is the cause of this.
We should use this opportunity and blame everything on him.
That's the only way for you to survive!
You must say that Prince Wolgang brought in the goddess of smallpox...
and is now hoarding all the medicines.
That should be the direction you take.
What?
Grandmother is going to the Seokgwang Temple?
Has Grandmother left yet?
She has, my King. She's gone to the Seokgwang Temple.
That's good.
Take everything she used from her room and burn it!
Yes, my King.
I'll be fine...
Step aside! It's the Queen Dowager!
This is problematic...
Stop.
I said stop!
What's going on?
Prince Wolgang, my Queen.
Wolgang?
Don't stop. Keep moving.
Grandmother...
What brings you here, my Prince?
Why are you leaving like this with your ailing body?
Wind can worsen smallpox. Close the window now.
If you had told me that before...
I would've closed the window right away. But...
Now I know that you're worried I might catch smallpox from you.
I don't have time to talk nonsense.
I'll bring you to my residence. You can stay at Dohwadang.
What are you doing, Handmaiden Lee? Let's go to the Seokgwang temple.
What brings you here?
I've made a decision so that there will be no more victims like your sister.
So...
Stop showing your contempt for dark magic and join me.
What can you do with magic anyway? Will it remove smallpox?
No...
So you should come to your senses too.
Then what are you going to do?
What are you going to do now to save people and stop smallpox?
Even if it's dark magic... Even if it's invisible...
At least we should try.
How could he do this?
Come out!
What's going on? Why is everyone here?
Something bad might happen at this rate. I'm scared...
Look at their eyes. Everyone's angry.
Go let the Prince know. Now!
You can't come here! You'll be in danger!
It's Prince Wolgang!
What is it?
I heard you're the one who brought in the goddess of smallpox.
That's right. I heard you want to sacrifice all of us so you can get the throne!
I heard that's why you're hoarding the medicine too.
The whole world knows now that you're the one who called in smallpox!
Give me an explanation!
You said all these things are superstitious!
Over at the Kim family, Kim himself was the only one who avoided disease
because he swallowed this!
Do you want to swallow one too?
- I do! - Give me a second.
- What brings you here, my Prince? - My Prince!
Do Ha...
It's warm...
I like it.
It's time to release your stockpile of medicine.
Release the medicine that you got from Maeranbang.
What do you want from me?
What do you want in exchange
for the most expensive medicine in the capital right now?
Let me just say that...
The King isn't the rightful owner of the throne.
You bastard!
Are you trying to insult the King's good name?
Not at all. I'm just speaking the truth.
And now, I'm just trying to follow your big ambition...
That's all.
What do you know about my big ambition?
Of course I can't even begin to fathom your limitless ambition.
I just want to do my bit to help you achieve your dream.
How will you help me?
Prince Wolgang caused the chaos in the capital by bringing in smallpox.
And you're the only one who can save the people.
Then what are you going to do?
What will you do now to save the people and stop smallpox?
Even if it's dark magic, even if it's invisible...
At least we must try it!
Uncle.
Come in.
Is there something you want to talk about?
The only thing we have in common is rejecting the existence of dark magic.
But are you now embracing dark magic?
What are you talking about?
Are you aware how rude you are right now by saying that?
I know the reason why you've supported me.
You need a sacrifice to achieve your ambition...
But I refuse to be sacrificed for you.
And if you ever threaten the King, I'll never let that slide.
Are you trying to warn me, you punk?
If you think that's what you heard...
You're probably correct.
Then...
What an ungrateful bastard.
Is this what I get for taking care of you so far?
You should consider me as your father from now on.
I'll help you do whatever you want to do.
Thank you.
Why are you volunteering to take those kids in?
Be mindful of what you say. The boy is of good character.
He'll become an excellent shield of mine once I groom him well.
What? You have the medicines?
I'll release them if you allow it. Otherwise I'll burn them all.
So what do you want to gain from it?
Nonsense, my King. I just want you to know my true loyalty.
All I ever want to do is serve you faithfully.
Fine. Do what you want.
All these medicines are from the Prime Minister!
All praise the Prime Minister!
My Lady...
I didn't know you'd be here.
The first thing you did right after you came back from death...
was sneak into the construction site of the former Treasury.
As I saw you bringing these back from there...
I wondered why you were going through all these troubles get these
which don't have any monetary value.
But...
Thanks to these... Thanks to you...
I could resolve my past trauma.
I have no doubt that these will eventually be used for a good purpose.
Sir.
The Prime Minister has released the medicines.
The medicines from Maeranbang!
I believe Sadam and the Prime Minister are cooperating with each other.
Sadam... Sadam has to be here...
Find Sadam!
Search the whole kingdom if you have to! Find Sadam!
My King. Your servant, Park Soo Jong, is here.
Don't get any ideas from my mentioning Sadam's name.
I just said it for no reason.
Do as you wish, my King.
He's your favorite servant. He will do anything for you.
It's only natural for you to keep such loyal servants around you.
Prime Minister...
You kicked out such a loyal servant because you misunderstood him.
Indeed so. I don't feel too good about that.
Perhaps you can award him a promotion to make him feel better.
How about making him the head of Sogyukseo?
Head of Sogyukseo?
Do you think I can do that?
You're the ruler of this kingdom.
Of course I am.
I can make whomever I want to be the head of Sogyukseo.
That's right!
Thank you, Prime Minister.
I heard you're leaving your post as the head of Sogyukseo.
I'm leaving my post?
So, Sadam is in the palace?
Tell him to come here right away. Tell him I'm waiting for him!
Yes, my King.
Great...
The King is looking for you.
Tell him I'll be there soon.
The King wants you to come right now.
I said I'll be there soon!
Is anyone out there?
What happened to the bottles that were sitting here?
- The bottles, my Prince? - The bottles inside the box!
I was told to send them to the Library.
Who told you that?
The new head of Sogyukseo.
The new head of Sogyukseo...
Why do you want the Library?
A sleeping dragon will wake up from here and ascend to heaven in the near future.
I must be prepared.
A sleeping dragon?
Are you referring to Prince Wolgang?
Wolgang isn't the only sleeping dragon out there.
