Episode 9 Synced to SAM's encode by seproast
Sir?
Anything wrong?
I'm sorry.
I thought you were someone else.
We have no customers because things are rough these days!
Let's drink up! Go on!
You! How could you be so quiet?
I thought you were a mute when we first met!
He's a mute indeed.
He wouldn't talk for days unless someone initiated the conversation!
You're quite something.
You didn't even scream when you got such a big wound!
We must erase any trace of the former king by demolishing the Treasury and its dark magic.
Hey! Here...
Please, sir. Please help!
Just this time!
Quickly.
Your heart had stopped already, and I couldn't feel the breath from your nose.
So I thought that this one is already dead!
In a little while, you will be entering the world of the dead.
How come I can't feel any regret or remorse from you?
Aren't you scared to become a ghost?
I spent my entire life chasing ghosts and sending them back to heaven.
I guess because I spent so much time with ghosts...
It didn't feel natural for me to think that I was a human being.
You, you can't go to the world of the dead like this.
I'll give you one more chance.
But from now on, you must live on as a human being.
Stop thinking about the world of ghosts and start focusing on the world of humans.
Understood?
If you ever chase after ghosts again... Then...
You won't be able to avoid death.
The ultimate death, in which even your soul will be shattered.
I'll remove the trouble of the future by killing you!
Father!
What is it?
I'm going to kill him tonight. Let's go!
So good to see you! Get him!
You're in danger!
It's not over yet, so watch out.
Let's go.
You don't need to thank me.
Don't butt into my business from now on.
I don't care about other people's business either! Hey!
What are you doing?
Well...
What's going on?
How could a girl sleep at a place like this?
The other girls are sleep-talking. And the room is so small.
This is more comfortable.
Follow me.
- What is it? - Sleep here!
And you?
We have a place to sleep! So just sleep well!
Got it?
Don't worry. We'll find somewhere to sleep.
Don't give me that face. Let's go.
Can I help you?
I helped you before. Let's call it even with this.
What are you doing? Lie down and rest up!
How can I rest up if we're burdening someone else?
Are you that sensitive?
Were you in the military? You're an excellent fighter.
I'm just a lowly blacksmith.
Then...
Do you know how to make the Four Tigers Sword?
Why are you asking that?
I heard that sword can prevent any disaster and dark energy.
There's no such sword in this world.
I guess. But...
I'd like to have a sword like that.
So there won't be any more bad luck and disasters.
So I can block everything with that sword.
Why are you saying that?
Because...
I now have someone that I want to protect.
Don't look at me like that...
What do you want me to do?
What?
Prince Wolgang found out about me and came to the Arsenal.
What? How clumsy of you...
I apologize, my Lord.
Leave the capital at once.
Don't even come near the capital until I call you back.
Understood?
Yes, my Lord.
But if I am to be hiding away...
- Go ahead. - Yes, my Lord.
Get rid of him.
No!
I'm sorry this is all I could earn, darling.
I'll do better on the next market day.
What? How dare you talk back to me?
I can't wait any longer! Pay me back!
You know I need that money!
I'm sorry. I'm trying too...
You have until tomorrow. Do whatever you need to do!
- What's going on in the capital? - Seriously...
He seems like someone who'll kill everyone that crosses him!
We should be careful!
We might die while looking for the Prince!
Seriously, something doesn't feel good. It feels bad.
Didn't I put it here?
Where did I put it?
Did you sleep well? I did thanks to you.
Thank you.
Where did you move the book that was here?
Book? What book...
The one with adult pictures?
Yes, what did you do with it?
You never showed it to me in the first place! I haven't seen it!
Are you hiding it so you can see it later?
There was a murder last night.
I don't know why people are so cruel to each other lately!
Why don't you know?
It's because life has become much more difficult.
Think about where this kingdom is heading!
These days are the best days of my life.
Human mind is quite strange.
I agree.
I must learn how to live like my sister who could be so happy with some meager medicine!
You really don't know where it is?
I really don't know! I didn't see anything that looks like a book.
Good morning.
- Join us, Do Ha. - Okay.
May I order a good sword too?
There's no such thing as a sword that's good from the beginning.
A sword can be good or bad depending on the person who uses it.
So, what do you think it will be if I use the sword?
A sword that can neither save nor kill... Which will cause agony for a lot people.
I think it'll be like that.
How insolent!
So don't use a sword to begin with.
How could you tell me that I don't even deserve to use a sword?
What do you know about me to say something so rude?
I see a playboy who wants to hide behind his sword.
Sir!
Are you ill?
No, I'm fine.
What brings you here?
Right.
The circus is in town.
I heard there are so many things to see! Let's go together.
I don't like crowded places.
Of course! It'll be too crowded!
I don't like crowds either.
I just wanted to check whether you like that sort of thing...
So please don't mind too much!
I really think that you're mistaken about me.
- Now? - Pardon?
The circus.
Would you like to go?
Let's go.
How pretty!
Come along, sir!
So, tell me everything.
I think he's an excellent fighter.
It's highly likely that he used to be in the military.
Is that so?
Any other movement? Like meeting the Prime Minister?
Nothing of the sort, my King.
I see... You may leave.
My King.
You may speak.
Now.
What are you going to do with the Taoist priest of Sogyukseo?
I still don't think he should be near you...
I'm not obligated to tell you what I'm going to do with the priest.
Is that clear?
Yes, my King.
I will not forgive you if you pull your cheap tricks on my King.
I'm a King's humble servant, just like you.
How could I even think to harm him?
I heard things are going well with him. Why are you drinking then?
Things are going well, but I wonder if they're truly going well.
What do you mean?
I'm fearful.
I'm infinitely happy when I see him...
Then I wonder if I'm dreaming.
I think I know what you're talking about.
That's how I felt after my sister disappeared.
Someone who smiles next to you, the one who talks to you...
I was afraid that they'll disappear too if I close my eyes.
When I was in that fire, I was in despair. I thought I was all by myself again.
But when I opened my eyes, he was right in front of me.
He was there. He didn't disappear.
That was the first time since I came to the capital that I felt I was not alone.
I felt more comfortable because someone was in front of my eyes.
That's right.
Nothing matters as long as he's in front of me right now.
Right?
Hey...
Where is the Prince?
Probably in the room.
Water triumphs fire...
Is this the best you can come up with?
Are you going to attack Sadam with dark magic, just like how you were deposed?
You may not believe in it...
But right now, I must let the King know about Sadam.
That'd be for the King, and the people of the kingdom.
You're too narrow-minded.
What?
You shouldn't use the people as your excuse.
You want to make the King feel insecure so you can recover your status.
I never did anything for the people...
But I never used them as an excuse either.
If you ever say things like that again...
If you ever threaten my King...
I'll never forgive you.
Both of you, enough!
Ghosts are flocking into the capital.
We must convince the King somehow before a disaster happens!
Stop.
Don't ever talk about dark magic from now on.
Shouldn't you think about whether you're doing the right thing...
Instead of following him blindly?
I'm not saying...
That the King is always right.
It's my duty to convince him and guide him towards the right direction.
I'm only dedicated to that.
You're right.
I've never tried.
I never did something I disliked, and I always ran from hardship.
I neither tried like you to change something, nor did I feel the necessity to do so.
But...
I want to try like you.
So...
Please help me.
So what are you going to do?
I need to send a letter to the King.
How?
Your wanted poster is all over the capital.
But there must be a way...
Nothing will change even if you try your best to change things.
Have you been eavesdropping?
I didn't eavesdrop. I just heard it.
Don't try to do anything. Just stay quiet.
I said get up by yourself!
How dare you not listen to me! How dare you!
The King drew his sword at the Queen Dowager's quarters.
He ended up slaying a handmaiden.
Why are you trying to hide such an atrocious incident, my Queen?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
My Queen.
It's not the best to hide his faults.
Of course. I agree.
As an elder of the royal family...
I always corrected any wrong that was done by my family.
So please don't lecture me on the subject, Prime Minister.
You must make the decision.
Whether you want Prince Wolgang to live the life of a fugitive...
Or you want him to recover his status.
You must choose.
My Lord.
We've found Prince Wolgang.
That day, the entire capital was about to be blown up!
But because Prince Wolgang took saltpeter out, the explosion was prevented!
- Is that true? - Of course!
Why are you staying at such a squalid place?
You should've come to me!
I didn't want to be a burden on you anymore.
Please come with me. I'll protect you, my Prince.
Instead...
Please give this to the King if you wish to help me.
And please tell the King to stay away from Sadam.
Why do you want to walk the harder path?
Thank you for your concerns.
But I can't put you in a difficult spot anymore because of Lady Soo Ryun's request.
Soo Ryun's request?
All medical clinics in this kingdom will get their supply of medicinal herbs from you.
Thank you.
You're here.
She's the daughter of the Prime Minister.
Why can't you take your eyes off of her?
She looks a lot like someone I used to know.
Is there a woman whom you can't forget?
Serve the Prince well. Your false charges will be lifted soon.
Just hang in there.
Yes, my Lord.
What are you looking at?
I was just thinking about something.
Take care, then.
The Prime Minister is in charge of all medical clinics in this kingdom.
So you must be responsible for the great fire on the clinics' storage!
The storage is closely related to the health of my people.
Therefore, I will not let this slide either.
Do you know that there could've been a huge explosion because of saltpeter?
People say the explosion was averted thanks to Prince Wolgang.
People are speaking very highly of Prince Wolgang!
Are you saying that I should forgive the traitor for that reason?
My King.
I would like to talk to you in private.
Would you please allow everyone else to leave?
It was an act of immorality.
Shut your mouth! It's just a dead handmaiden!
How could that be the evidence of my drawing a sword against my grandmother?
You're right. There's no evidence.
My official statement will be as follows.
A handmaiden of the Queen Dowager died. But...
She had a deep wound on her back, inflicted by a sword.
That night, the ever filial King visited the Queen Dowager's quarters.
That's all I will say.
But people will start creating their own stories based on this.
They'll speak of your threatening the Queen Dowager with your sword...
And how the handmaiden was killed by you as she tried to calm you down.
People will believe that version of the story.
Prime Minister!
Then the kingdom's Confucian scholars will rise up against you.
Such baseless rumors don't mean anything. Leave at once!
Invisible rumors are often stronger than swords.
I'm going to ask the Queen Dowager.
I'm eager to find out whose side the Queen Dowager will choose to be on.
It doesn't matter to whom you put your sword on.
The only thing that matters is that you drew your sword in front of her!
That's enough for them to remove you!
In this land of filial piety, the King violated that principle...
No... He committed an immoral sin!
They'll be so happy!
I'm eager to find out whose side the Queen Dowager will choose to be on.
No, no... I didn't do it on purpose!
It was not on purpose...
Is anyone out there?
Yes, my King.
I need to visit grandmother. I need to see her right now!
What brings you here, my King?
I'm here to give my regards.
Please forgive me, grandmother.
I was impertinent and violated the principle of filiality.
Grandmother...
Please calm down, my King.
I was being weird that day, as if I was possessed by something...
Why would I draw a sword against you? Please, grandmother. Forgive me!
You've admitted your sin yourself.
With this, both your sin and Prince Wolgang's criminal charges will disappear.
This is Prince Wolgang's heartfelt letter. Please read it.
Water triumphs fire...
Yes, everyone is trying to step on my head!
Is anyone out there? Light up the candles!
How can you even fail at lighting up a candle?
This is all Sadam's fault. Because he is stepping on my head!
Please forgive me for my sins, my King!
Please calm down, my King.
Why am I not getting better, even though I'm doing everything you're saying?
A lot of people out there are trying to break us apart.
You cannot believe what they tell you...
I somehow believe what they say more than what you say lately.
Are you really trying to trick me and step on my head?
My King...
Shut your mouth!
Don't say a word.
Close the Sukjeong Gate first. Now!
What should we do? We just started ghost-hunting.
The Sukjeong Gate must stay open.
Of course it must.
The gate must stay open.
Are you in?
Where did she go?
Anyone here?
Amulets!
Expel!
I knew it.
There was something noble about him from the beginning!
Indeed.
So, you were the Prince?
Not 'were!' He is!
He's the Prince! Prince Wolgang!
But where did she go? Do Ha!
Yes!
It's time to go, my Prince.
Clear the way! Prince Wolgang is here!
There has been a small misunderstanding.
Don't mind it too much and forget about it, okay?
Yes, my King.
You have the blood of this royal family. Of course you can see ghosts.
So I believe you can see the ghost lurking around me that looks like me.
Can you see it?
Answer me. Can you see it?
I can't see it.
You said you can see ghosts.
Then how come you can't see the ghost that I can see?
I truly can't see it.
I told you to say only the truth!
Of course he can't see me. Do you know why?
I'm only a figment of your imagination, created by your narrow mind!
That's not true. Not true!
Hyung Sik...
Chan Yeong...
Chang Sik...
Unfair? What's so unfair?
Do you think you're the only ones who received unfair treatment in this world?
Life just goes on like that.
So don't ever come and find me again...
And try to forget everything.
Just like that...
Go ahead to the world of the dead.
You must make the first move.
Have Prince Wolgang attack the Prime Minister.
Haven't you realized that the Prince is putting you in grave danger?
How can I believe that? How can I?
That day, 12 years ago...
Don't you know that you can never mention the incident of that day?
Are you a Night Watchman?
