Episode 14
Hey... Open your eyes!
Wake up!
You don't have to be an evil spirit anymore.
What's going on?
Finally...
She has returned as your sister.
She's smiling at you.
She doesn't want her warm brother to pretend to be a cold person.
She wants you to live a happy life.
That's what she's telling you.
My brother's hand is so warm.
In Hwa...
She's gone.
She left with a smile on her face.
She did.
This can't be possible...
Who could possibly infiltrate my defense perimeter?
Could it be...
Sir! It's Wolgang!
What?
Wolgang...
When In Hwa died, I thought our paths would never cross again.
I was so depressed by it.
But now that I know she exists somewhere else...
I'm not as depressed as I used to be.
If you're destined to meet again you'll reunite with that person no matter what.
Even if death do you part.
I showed my contempt for it, thinking it's dark magic.
I thought it tricks vulnerable people into performing wrongful acts.
You are not the only one who thinks that way.
But if one can learn and understand more about the world
thanks to such 'dark magic...'
I believe it'd be a necessary quality of a good king.
What did you just say?
The Night Watchmen?
12 years ago...
I saw this.
It seems like the Night Watchmen have been reestablished.
With Prince Wolgang at the helm.
The Night Watchmen...
Are you really saying the Night Watchmen?
I know a way to get them and pressure the King at the same time.
Is that so? Is there a way?
This way will also implicate you, Prime Minister.
So, I heard you escorted Grandmother back.
Yes, my King.
Good job.
What's wrong?
Nothing... My King.
I'm here, my King.
I didn't know you were here.
You may leave.
Why Park Soo Jong?
Have you ever heard about the Night Watchmen, my King?
The Night Watchmen?
They used to be the former king's royal guards.
But they used ghosts to trick the former king
and eventually attempted to take over power.
They could use ghosts?
There's a rumor that those men are going to Prince Wolgang.
What? To Prince Wolgang?
So, a bunch of men who can control ghosts are going to Prince Wolgang?
Controlling ghosts... They can control ghosts...
What should I do, my King?
Arrest them!
Be sure to bring them to me first once you arrest them.
Understood?
Yes, my King.
The Prime Minister has made his move.
I guess they'll be fighting against each other.
Why are they in such a hurry? Is there a war or something?
Apparently there has been an attempt of treason.
They're going to catch the perpetrators.
What kind of crazy person would try to overthrow this kingdom?
I wonder what they have to do with Chang's Inn.
Chang's Inn?
Yes.
The monster serpent was kept underground in the form of a stone statue.
The seal is probably still in tact.
Before Sadam fully breaks the seal by using his ghosts...
we must remove the monster serpent.
And how can we do that?
We can't even go near the serpent right now.
There used to be the divine bow that petrified the monster serpent right next to the statue...
But I assume Sadam has already done something to it.
Something is there...
Why is Sadam so fixated on the monster serpent?
What does he get by sending the monster serpent to heaven?
He wants to make this whole kingdom a slave under his Yongsin Tribe.
If that happens, the people of this kingdom would be treated even worse than pigs and cows.
The Yongsin Tribe is very evil.
We must stop them. We must.
How do you know a lot about them?
They killed my parents.
And my sister...
We can't let those people to rule over this land.
It'll bring pain and suffering to so many people of this kingdom.
I guess the other one isn't going to show up.
He used to show a great contempt about this whole thing.
It'd be hard for him to change his stance overnight.
Apologies for being late.
Welcome.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You're making me blush.
Stomach ache again? Then go to the outhouse first!
Where is Sang Heon?
What's wrong?
- Look for everything that's suspicious! - Yes, sir!
What are you doing? Why are you here?
Wolmae!
This inn is accused to be the center of treason.
What? Treason?
I think they're gone.
I think so too.
I'll go check.
Stay here.
I'll go.
They're here looking for evidence of dark magic.
I'm a shaman, so they wouldn't think too much about it.
But you three might look suspicious.
They're all gone. They couldn't find anything.
What just happened?
They should've cleaned up after themselves!
Damn it!
Why did they come here all of a sudden? It was scary...
We need to continue the business. Let's clean up.
Apparently it was the ghost of Handmaiden Kim.
Really? The one who used to serve the late queen?
Yes!
You found nothing? That can't be possible.
You must arrest them at once! You said they can see ghosts!
Before they find out about what happened that day...
Before they tell everything to Wolgang...
It'd be difficult for you too if that day's incident is leaked.
What do you mean by 'that day's incident?'
I would like to take my leave, my King.
I guess it'd be easier for you to pretend as if you don't know anything about that day...
A dead handmaiden was discovered with her skin dried so appallingly.
I'm afraid this might be a work of ghosts...
Nonsense! How could you be talking about ghosts?
Just make sure your subordinates won't gossip about this incident.
Yes... If there really are such things as ghosts...
most of this kingdom's ghosts would be inside of this palace.
I did many unbearable things with my own hands...
But that was the only way to maintain the monarchy and this kingdom.
Now that they know the Dragon God is here
they will do everything to get in here.
Don't worry. I've prepared accordingly.
The seal will be broken soon with the power of all these ghosts.
How will you convince the King?
You have nothing to lose by building the pagoda.
The project will only drive people away from the monarchy.
It'll help you when you move forward with your plan later.
Where is Sadam? Bring him over here!
Yes, my King.
Were you looking for me, my King?
There are ghosts within this palace.
The people that I killed are now after me!
You must stop them! You must!
There's a way to seal all these vengeful spirits.
Is that so? I knew you would have a solution!
So what does it take? How can you seal all these ghosts?
This will not only seal the ghosts, but also help demonstrate your majesty.
You're frustrating me. Tell me now!
You can build a pagoda.
A pagoda?
A pagoda that is unprecedented in its greatness.
A great, tall pagoda that will touch the clouds.
You will be able to achieve that.
The capital is plagued by so many ghosts lately.
In order to stop these ghosts and establish the monarchy's majesty...
I hereby direct to build a pagoda.
Ghosts, my King?
How could you be talking about ghosts so lightly?
How rude of you! You have no right to preach to the King!
- I'm not preaching! - That's enough!
I've decided on the name of the pagoda.
It'll be called the Pacific Heaven Pagoda.
The people of this kingdom already suffered from the spreading of smallpox.
You can't take on such a large construction project at this moment!
So please retract your order, my King!
You shall not oppose me!
Can't you just shut up and follow my orders?
Please say something, Prime Minister.
My King...
You should do as you please.
The King wants to build a pagoda. But I don't understand why he has to!
He's just throwing his money around!
That's right!
He probably just wants to prove that he has that much money!
He could feed the kids who lost their parents to smallpox
with the money he's spending on the pagoda!
This government is rotten!
That's right!
Someone like Wolmae should be sitting on the throne!
They're going to demolish the library and build the pagoda.
I think they're going to move the serpent with the construction as a disguise.
What did you just say? A pagoda?
That's right.
He's not trying to move the serpent.
What do you mean?
The monster serpent needs the momentum of water to ascend.
But because the conditions for ascension are not met
he's choosing the pagoda as the second best choice.
The monster serpent can then ascend by wrapping itself around the pagoda.
Then what should we do?
What can we do to stop Sadam?
We don't have time to waste.
We must stop Sadam right now and get rid of the serpent too!
Hold on.
Is it truly necessary...
for Do Ha to come with us?
What are you talking about?
I'm afraid there's no other alternative.
This is the only reason why I'm still in the capital.
I must stop Sadam.
Please go find out more about what's going on at the library.
Why are you telling me to do that? I'm not a Night Watchman anymore.
Don't tell me to do things like that anymore.
Excuse me.
Take care of yourself.
Why do you always walk ahead of us? It's not like we're going to do something fun.
Kang?
What is it?
Something is weird.
What is?
I don't think this is the same place that we came to before.
It really isn't the same place.
What happened? Where are we?
I think they put up a defense perimeter.
Duck!
Who is there?
Why are these men...
attacking us?
Who are they?
Nothing notable was happening at the library.
I'm not even a Night Watchman. What am I doing here?
I don't know anything!
Hey!
I don't know anything!
Seems like Sadam has made a great progress.
I didn't expect him to put a defense perimeter to block you out.
What is it?
We saw them when we were in the defense perimeter.
Who did you see?
They were the Night Watchmen for sure.
Those who attacked us inside of the defense perimeter...
Were the Night Watchmen.
Why did they attack us?
Was it really them?
Yes.
Sometimes the vengeful spirits, when they can't get their revenge...
tend to turn into evil spirits because of their anger.
So are you saying that they've become evil spirits?
I hope not.
If someone manipulates their anger in a bad way...
we won't be able to stop them.
That's what worries me.
We might not be able to stop them...
Do Ha.
Is Sadam really the only reason why you're still in the capital?
You know what he means to me.
I do. I'm well aware of what he means to you.
But I wish...
it were me.
I wish I am the only reason why you're still in the capital.
That is my wish.
We should get going.
Then...
Take care.
Do you like her?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Well...
I'm just surprised that you're asking me such a question.
She isn't someone you can be responsible for.
So you shouldn't even start.
But I can't help it.
I've already started. And...
I've progressed too much.
You were always stifled by your responsibilities.
So you were never fully responsible for any position or any person.
So I want to do it right from now on.
I take responsibilities and protect.
I'll begin with Do Ha.
I'd rather prefer if you start with someone else.
What can we do? Everything is in chaos!
All the ghosts are following him because he's promising to send them to heaven!
Really?
Who is he then? Is he a human or a ghost?
I don't know much about the details.
I'll come back after finding out more about it.
Hey!
Don't go.
Yes, don't go. It doesn't feel right.
You deterring me makes me want to go even more!
Don't worry. I'll be back soon.
We've become vengeful spirits because we had unresolved matters before our death.
He's someone who will help us resolve our past!
Let's follow him to the palace!
I'll follow him. Let's go to the palace!
My vengeful spirits...
Follow me.
Follow me, Sadam!
This is getting serious! I need to go tell them.
Aren't you Handmaiden Kim?
I'm Eunuch Song!
I like the fact that you came out here to greet me!
Stop being delusional!
Eunuch Song has disappeared.
What do you mean?
He left to go find out about something, and now he's not coming back.
Is this it? Is this where he came to?
Yes, he said there would be a secret meeting here. Right?
Why are you not answering?
Hey...
Are you okay?
Yes, I am.
But where did Eunuch Song go?
Let's go.
I heard it's been very tough for you.
I admire your perseverance!
Thank you for your concerns.
Have you heard the news, by the way?
There's a powerful magician here who could grant all your wishes!
I heard of him too.
Apparently Lady Hyo Ryung managed to win over the man of her dreams...
by asking the magician!
Is that so? Should we try too?
Those kinds of dark magic are not to be trusted.
And who cares about winning over the man of your dreams?
Don't waste your time trying to get something that's intangible.
Goodbye then.
My Lady! You forgot your coat!
I'll go get it.
It's fine.
I'll go get it.
She pretended to be the nicest woman in this kingdom by working at the clinic!
Indeed.
All she got from wasting her time on Prince Wolgang is the sense of vengeance!
Quite right.
For me...
I just liked him.
I didn't like Prince Wolgang because he's a prince.
The man I liked just happened to be a prince.
My Lady...
I went to the clinic because I liked working with those patients...
Forget about them! How ungrateful of them.
But I don't know anymore.
Did I really like him purely?
I'm not certain of my own feelings.
Welcome.
The Prince is coming here too.
He wants to talk about how to break defense perimeters.
Does the monster serpent truly exist?
Why are you asking?
I joined because I don't want anyone to become like my In Hwa anymore.
However...
I'm not sure about what we're doing.
You'll continue to doubt yourself like that.
We're dealing with intangible objects that are ghosts.
Cousin!
How could you let a lowly shaman like her to enter your residence?
Soo Ryun...
Shamans are just like prostitutes.
Your lowborn background can't be hidden.
I'm afraid you're being impertinent.
I've already warned you that your rudeness won't go unnoticed.
Yet you've ignored my warning and are now getting on with my cousin?
That's enough, Soo Ryun.
How could you be on her side, cousin?
How could you choose her over me?
Lady Soo Ryun.
Owner!
Where's the owner?
My Lady. She's sick today.
How dare you block my passage?
My Lady...
Get out of my way!
Why are you looking for the owner?
Are you the magician who's staying here?
I presume there's something you want from me.
Please tell me.
I heard you can steal people's minds.
That's not too hard to do.
Then please do so for me.
Who is it?
Prince Wolgang...
I need to win over his heart.
Of course I must help.
However...
What do I get out of this?
What do you want? Money? Tell me whatever you want.
I already have enough money. I don't need that anymore.
I want...
The girl who's admired by Prince Wolgang.
Give me that girl.
You'll get the Prince's heart...
and I'll get the girl.
What do you think?
You can't see her, sir. Please, come back another time.
I don't know anything... I can't think anymore...
What are you doing?
Who am I?
Who's my father? My mother?
I can only remember the time after I met you!
Please calm down.
What have you done to me?
Why are you doing this?
I saw what you did to those ghosts!
Wake up!
This is all because of you. What have you done to me?
Who am I?
Who the hell am I?
What is it?
This came out of the gap in the stairs.
Something's weird.
- Leave this up to me. - Yes, my Lord.
Indeed. What is that to have him so startled?
You've startled me!
I didn't know you were behind me!
I apologize for startling you.
What did that thing say, by the way?
What thing?
What did that piece of linen say?
Well, I can't read. So I have no idea.
Damn...
Please forgive me, my Lord!
Who else knows about this? Who has seen this?
You can rest assured for now.
Where was this found?
From the construction site at the library.
What should I do?
Did you want to keep this as your family treasure or something?
Get rid of this right now!
Idiot...
The Prime Minister has done many bad things.
Handmaiden Kim has appeared again!
Stop it. That's enough!
I think she's telling everyone about your secret.
What should you do?
No one will respect you as their king once they find out what you did.
A liar like you!
And you failed to fulfill your filial duties!
Shut up!
I trusted your word.
You said you took care of Handmaiden Kim already!
I did, my King.
What?
Then how is it possible that she's back?
I don't know.
I'm not sure what went wrong.
You don't know? You're really saying that?
How could you not know?
Please don't yell at me, my King.
What?
I'm the only one who can take care of Handmaiden Kim right now.
Should I just leave her going around talking about your secret?
You said those Night Watchmen can see ghosts.
What if they see Handmaiden Kim...
What if they find out about what we did that night?
What do you think will happen?
I don't believe I follow.
Handmaiden Kim knows that I lied to the King.
You took care of her yourself!
I do not recall such a thing.
Just like the last time, I really have no idea what you're talking about.
Prime Minister!
Tell me everything.
People are saying that it looked like someone's blood.
Blood?
So someone wrote a letter with blood.
Only if I had found it, we'd know what it was about!
That illiterate punk had to find it first!
Bring it to Prince Wolgang.
Yes, sir.
What is this?
Mother?
What is it?
My dear Rin...
I only wish that this letter somehow reaches you.
Who are you? How dare you to point your sword at me?
Aren't you the Queen?
How impertinent of you! You're well aware of whom I am!
I think it's time for you to die.
Did you find the King?
I believe he's still at the Prince's Quarters.
My Rin...
All I want right now is to touch your cheek for one last time.
I'd love to feel your warmth at my fingertips...
If I had known that I'll leave without seeing you...
I would've seen you more deeply, more warmly...
I'm regretful of everything, Rin.
You must survive, Rin.
Don't hurt yourself. I'll be watching you.
My Queen!
Give this to Rin...
My Queen!
Find the Queen's body! Now!
What are you doing?
Get the Queen's body.
Yes, sir!
Never be close to Park Soo Jong, Rin.
He is the one who killed your mother.
And he'll hurt you in the future too!
Out of my way!
What will you be able to achieve by confronting the Prime Minister?
They kept telling me that my crazy father killed my mother then killed himself.
They've been telling me that. But...
That's not true!
What are you doing in front of my house?
Is there any urgent matter that you need to see me with?
Prime Minister...
Prime Minister!
