Eui...
- Your Highness, this way. - Here, here!
- My lady! - I'm here!
It's me! Eui is here!
Here you are! I got you!
I got you! I got you!
I got you!
Jungmyung, help me! Jungmyung!
- Eui! - Jungmyung! Jungmyung!
Eui...
My brother...
- Sire! Please reconsider! - Please reconsider!
The grand prince cannot be blamed for the crime
based on the confession of a criminal who couldn't stand torture!
It's still not too late.
Sire, you are aware of injustice in this matter.
Please don't step onto a path with no return!
Sire!
Listen, Administrator.
Proceed with everything as I ordered.
How dare you! What are you doing to high officials?
His royal command was to behead all the traitors
and in addition to Prime Minister Lee Deok Hyung
Lee Hang Bok, and Lee Won Ik
all the Westerners who dared to take the traitors' side
are stripped of their official titles!
What?
What are you doing?
Hurry up and drag these people out of the palace!
Yes, sir!
- How dare you! - Let go of me!
Lord Lee! Lord Lee!
[Ohri Lee Won Ik] I'm fine.
How dare you! You should just behead me!
Sire, can you hear us?
Please just take our lives!
- Sire! - Sire!
[Lee Yi Cheom]
[Kim Je Nam - Punishment of hanging the head]
Sire...
Please... forgive Yeongchang, sire.
You promised me...
You said you'd protect that child.
This is not true, is it?
This is just a scary dream, right?
My younger brother will be fine, right?
Here.
This brother will make a promise to you.
That will never happen.
You trust your brother, right?
Please return him to me, sire.
My younger brother... sire...
Sire...
Please return him to me.
Please... please... return him to me, sire...
He's coming! He's coming!
Sir.
- Minister of Protocol. - Sir.
Here, here...
this is pine flower wine from Andong.
Here you come, Minister of Protocol! You should have a drink.
[Jung In Heung] Drinking alcohol in the office?
A lot of eyes are watching!
What?
Where?
I can only see our loyal retainers of the Great Northern faction.
Enjoy the moment.
Don't we have the right to raise a glass at least?
Now now... let's all have a drink!
- Great! - I feel so relieved!
Since Yeongchang was cut out and the heads raised up
the rest of the Western faction won't be able to step up for a while.
By the way...
No matter how great the wine is, there is always some residue left.
We need to filter everything out...
including the residue.
Haneum!
You came.
- Check inside one more time. - Yes, sir.
- Did you tie it tightly? - Yes, sir.
- Hand over these books to book sellers. - Yes, sir.
- What about Lord Ohri? - He woke up.
He's packing, just like you are.
He's going to Gwangju, where his family home is.
A retainer stripped of his title shouldn't be in the city.
'He shouldn't'?
How can you say that in this situation?
It is also my duty to complete my responsibility as a retainer.
I should do what I'm supposed to do...
and I should fight for... what I am supposed to.
He... His Majesty only chose the path that suits his big goal.
But my big goal is different from that. So what am I supposed to do?
We can only act in good faith with our beliefs.
I was determined to do that...
but you should've remained here.
Look, the king won't tolerate anyone who goes against him, even if it's you.
'Whether I live to 30 or to 70'...
'it's still one full life.'
That's what you told me.
And you're telling me to be a coward and to step aside?
I heard that when I was young...
and thought, 'wow, that's amazing.'
I decided to become life-long friends with you.
Haneum!
Let's go now.
Sir...
What should I do about this book?
[Royal Medical Record]
Where did you find this?
According to Jang Geun, it fell from a saddle of one of your horses.
What on earth...
- Who... is there? - It's me, Doctor Jang.
Lord Haneum?
Do you know what you're saying right now?
Yes, I know, Lord Lee.
I'm certain that the late king was poisoned!
I'm also afraid, sir.
But I couldn't turn away from this huge secret after all, sir.
Doctor Jang!
On the day the late king passed away
I cleaned the body along with other doctors.
And I found a strange mark there.
At a glance, it looked like marks shown after death.
But it was definitely a mark of severe damage to the liver.
[Royal Pharmacy - Management of medicine in the palace]
So I rushed to check the Royal Medical Record...
Blister beetles...
Yes. Without proper processing
- it is severely toxic. - But...
royal doctors must've known if this deadly ingredient was used.
Yoo Young Gyung was well-versed in medicine
and the late king's meals and medicine...
went through strict pre-tasting every time.
It could be different if he was poisoned with a small amount over a long time.
What?
The late king complained of pain in the stomach and the heart before his passing.
It matches the symptoms of when someone is exposed to beetles for a long time.
Are you saying...
that someone was slowly poisoning the late king?
If that's the case...
why did his condition worsen suddenly that night?
Throw out the fake, establish the real.
By abandoning the fake and taking the real...
I was foolish. I lacked in every sense.
Please... give me one more chance.
Sire...
You couldn't wait any longer...
It looks like it will rain again.
What if there is thunder?
Court Lady Choi...
Yeongchang will be so scared alone.
My lady...
[Grand Prince Yeongchang]
I'm scared...
Mother...
Jungmyung...
[Hansung (current Seoul) Mayor Kang Joo Seon]
'Therefore death upon death'
'a bloodbath will take place where everything shall fall...'
'The one who rules fire...'
'the destined one who possesses the purest of the bloodline'
'will come to rule the land.'
What on earth is this?
Lord Lee!
As planned, transfer the equipment from Namhan Fortress
and set up the weaponry bureau.
- Proceed with the plan. - Yes, sire.
What do you mean by that?
'Queen Dowager and Princess are still remaining'?
Get out of the way.
- Look, Your Highness... - I won't repeat myself!
Step aside right now!
My younger brother is taken away and my mother's family slain.
But I'm still a princess of this country.
Are you saying that I can't even say hello to my mother?
Enough! That's enough.
Abandon the queen dowager and the princess?
Depose both of them?
The queen dowager is the grand prince's mother
and the princess is the proper bloodline of the late king.
People still remember the joy they felt when the proper royal bloodline began.
The princess should also be deposed...
and be killed along with Yeongchang someday.
Otherwise, people will align with them again.
Gae Shi!
Leave. I won't hear those words anymore.
The reason you kept me by your side
was to hear words that are difficult to hear...
when you need to hear them.
So, sire...
you will have to make the decision soon.
Whether you will remain as a human being...
or become a king.
Soon, the king's sword will point at you and me.
I was foolish.
In the past, I was afraid to stand against the king
so I decided to put my faith in him.
I was foolish, but I hoped that my wish would come true.
Mother...
But Princess... you must not be shaken.
You have to hang in there to protect Yeongchang and get that child back.
Mother, I have a question I'd like to ask.
I saw that you met a royal shaman in a chamber.
- The royal shaman definitely said... - Jungmyung...
Please tell me, Mother!
Am I an ominous girl?
Was I born with energy that I shouldn't have had?
Is that... Is that why Yeongchang was put in danger?
There is ominous energy that shouldn't be floating around the princess.
Because of that, countless people will end up dying.
Because of her.
Princess...
That's...
What are you doing there?
I was cleaning. I'm done, ma'am.
Joo Won, what did you just say?
If the wedding happens with the princess as originally planned
I asked if we could be helpful to the grand prince and the princess.
Please tell me, Father.
Is there any chance of that?
Politics in the palace is not for you to know yet. You just...
It is a world that I will belong to.
If an injustice was done to the grand prince as people say...
If all of it was a scheme to get rid of the Western faction power...
I believe it is right to stand against this matter.
That's the teaching I received from you.
Joo Won.
Where did you get that kind of courage?
Marriage in the middle of all this... Do you mean it?
I'm not sure.
I just... can't forget what happened that day.
Please... marry me.
Please...
So that I can protect my younger brother...
I looked into that strange letter.
I compared it to his handwriting from when he was alive.
It was definitely Gyeokam Nam Sa Go's.
Gyeokam predicted King Seonjo's enthronement
the Imjin War, and even the formation of factions precisely.
Look, if that's the case...
It means that Grand Prince Yeongchang may be the owner of the throne.
And... a very powerful king of all.
Why did you tell me this now?
If I had known sooner, we might have looked for a solution together.
It's too late now.
Now the grand prince is in exile, and if this gets out...
he will end up losing his life.
The princess should also be deposed...
and be killed along with Yeongchang someday.
[Namhan Fortress]
I got it.
- Keep watching. - Yes, ma'am.
Can't you go easy now?
She's a maid from the queen dowager's residence.
She's locked up and can't move at all.
What can she possibly do that you're still keeping an eye on her?
Have you had a drink?
I had a quick drink with the officials of the Great Northern faction.
Everyone's been waiting for this day!
Well...
I believe it's not time for that yet.
There is something that bothers me.
- I need you to find someone quickly. - Someone?
[Injung Hall, Changdeok Palace]
Hurry up! There is an early morning meeting.
Yes, sir.
Sir!
Here...
Bl... blood...
What on earth...
Who on earth did this?
Who dared to invade the throne and do this kind of stuff?
Sire!
Sire, whoever did it, hanging a dead lamb means...
It means the throne.
The lamb with its horns and its tail cut off...
is the throne. (referring to Chinese characters)
The current king... is not the owner of the throne.
Gyeokam's words in the police bureau... will prove that...
What are you doing right now?
Step aside. It's the royal command!
Father...
Go through everything. Every speck of dust and every drawer!
Find anything that looks suspicious!
Sir!
Please take a look at this.
No... No!
Just what is the reason?
Royal guards invading the queen dowager's residence?
- You can't be doing this. - Didn't you hear 'royal command'?
- Escort Her Majesty! - Yes, sir!
- You can't do this! - You can't do this! No!
Mother!
Mother...
How could this happen?
Just where...
Mayor!
Now... please tell me, ma'am.
Who did you order to do this?
Ma'am!
Lee Yi Cheom!
Do you really think you'll live after this?
Do you think your power will last a thousand years?
Someday, I will tear your limbs...
and get my revenge.
- Look, Your Majesty! - Shut your mouth!
I'm the queen dowager of this country.
- How dare you... - Yes, you're the queen dowager.
Rather than seeing my limbs torn apart
you're the mother who will see her son's head cut off!
Gyeokam Nam Sa Go's prediction...
Where did you get this?
'The one who rules fire will become the ruler of the land.'
'Purest of the bloodline'...
Where did you get this prediction...
that Grand Prince Yeongchang will earn the throne?
What... did you just say?
This is Gyeokam's? This prediction?
Tell me.
What is it that you know?
[Royal Shaman Soo Ryun Gae] Ma'am...
[State Tribunal] But, sir, that's...
Did you forget who helped you get this position?
Open the door.
Right now.
Lord Lee.
Are you saying that it's definitely Gyeokam's prediction?
Yes, sire.
The queen dowager also seemed to know something.
I was friends with him at one point while he was alive.
This handwriting is definitely similar to his, sire.
This is an important matter.
Whoever they are
remnants following Yeongchang and Queen Dowager are still strong.
Enough to invade the throne.
And Gyeokam's prediction is in their hands.
Before this spreads further...
we have to get rid of Yeongchang and remove the source of trouble.
I believe it was my fault.
If the one who compared handwriting let something slip...
No... it's probably not him.
One of my subordinate officers hasn't been seen since last night.
Did he know about this?
Now that His Majesty knows the prophecy, the grand prince is not safe.
What can I do about this crime, Mayor?
It's my fault...
Yeongchang and Mother... Everything is my fault.
My lady, why do you say so?
That royal shaman said so...
that I was ominous.
That's why... everyone will end up dead.
No, my lady. How can you believe in such nonsense?
For someone so precious, how can you call yourself 'ominous'?
Court Lady Choi...
I... still remember clearly the day you were born.
The first baby of the royal bloodline that everyone was looking forward to...
Smiles came to life for the first time in the palace
and all the people were joyful.
Do you know how beautiful and bright your smile was wrapped in blanket?
All of us were so happy serving such a beautiful and kind princess.
So how could you say such a thing?
Protect that child, ma'am.
The baby inside you...
That child will break the chain of tragedy.
What did you say?
The one who rules fire...
the destined one who possesses the purest of the bloodline
will be the true master of this land.
The day will come only if that child can survive.
But... the one I was pregnant with was...
The one inside me at the time...
Is anyone outside? Is Court Lady Jung out there?
Court Lady Jung!
Sire, I'll do it. Please leave it to me.
If this gets out, people will be shaken up
and Yeongchang will gain power.
Before that, we have to cut off the bud and bury this matter.
Sire, now!
Don't do anything. Not a thing!
I don't believe in predictions and such.
I won't be caught up in things like that
and spray blood under the throne anymore.
- Sire! - Sire!
The promise I made to the princess...
that I wouldn't harm Yeongchang...
I'd like to keep that promise for her.
To the child who called me 'Brother'...
just one thing... just this one.
Did you say you had something to say about the prediction?
I do.
I'll tell you everything that I know.
But, before that...
I'd like to go back to my residence and calm the maids who're shocked...
and bring back some things that I need.
- Your residence? - If you let me...
I'll tell you everything.
If you achieve such a thing, I'm sure the king will be pleased.
Isn't that so?
Hurry, hurry! Hurry up!
- Court Lady Choi! - Ma'am...
Change her so that she'll be unrecognizable.
When you get to the port, find the man I told you about and give him this letter.
He received help from Her Majesty's family
so he'll give you a boat.
Please take good care of Her Highness.
Court Lady Choi... you have to be safe too.
Ma'am...
What do you mean by that?
'Leave the palace,' Mother?
You have no time to waste. You only have today.
Your only chance is today, so you have to go as far as possible right now.
And until the time comes, live in hiding.
Until I look for you
until the ones who chase you disappear.
Mother, why are you saying these things?
I don't want to! I won't leave you behind!
You have to, dear. That's the only way you will survive.
Someday the king will kill you.
Someday they will find out about everything.
Mother...
Take this, dear.
You're very precious, Princess.
A very long time ago, from the one who had this
I was told that you'd become the most precious, grand person.
Mother...
So don't forget who you are.
And remember your younger brother Yeongchang.
You must survive through this...
get your younger brother back...
and relieve my sorrow full of blood.
Is there any news from the mayor and the police chief?
No, sir.
Lord Lee!
You're Lord Haneum, right?
I am Hong Joo Won, the son of Police Chief Hong Young.
Pardon me, but if you're going to the palace...
may I be allowed to accompany you?
[Princess Jungmyung's Residence]
Find Lord Lee Yi Cheom. Right now.
You have to go to her family's house? Right now?
Her Majesty said that someone who knows about that matter is there.
Really?
But what about this palanquin?
We have to bring back the person. That's why...
What did you say?
The one in the prediction may not be Yeongchang?
I have no time to explain.
You have to find the princess right now.
Find the princess.
And you must take her life.
If the prediction is really from Gyeokam, if Queen Dowager had that...
why didn't she make use of it before?
How come?
It can't be the queen dowager.
Then who?
Why something like this?
My lady, we'll arrive at the port soon.
Ma'am...
Let go of me! Let go of me right now!
Let go! I said let go!
What's with this wicked behavior? Do you know who this is?
There has been an alert order from the city.
We're ordered to take anyone who looks suspicious!
Send a message to Lord Lee Yi Cheom right now!
Now!
Yes, sir!
What are you doing?
Get away! Now!
Princess...
I have a favor to ask of both of you.
This is the shortcut to the port.
Where is the princess?
Haneum!
Who is it?
Who is the one who can break into the palace and lead this?
Maybe even someone who can grab and shake the throne...
Who on earth...
Sire, allow me to enter for a minute.
I'm glad you came. I was going to ask for you...
Before that, I have something to report to you, sire.
Your Highness!
Are you all right?
Find her!
Ma'am!
You have to be safe, my lady.
Young Master...
Please remember me and my name.
I will make sure to find you.
I will protect Grand Prince His Highness, and I will protect you.
I'll keep them distracted somehow, so leave with Her Highness.
Yes.
What... did you just say?
Gae Shi!
I said... you will hear the news soon that Yeongchang has died.
Also, the news that the princess was killed
while she was running away from the palace.
What?
Princess... is dead?
What on earth...
Gae Shi!
Over there! Chase them!
The princess... she is the one in the prediction.
The one Gyeokam's prediction is pointing at is...
the one who will threaten Your Majesty in the end is... Jungmyung.
That's why it can't end with Yeongchang.
If you let her live
someday that little girl will strangle you.
So...
did you order to have her killed?
You dared to kill her?
How dare you!
The only one left is a small boat for one person.
And another boat remaining is the one that transfers explosives to the palace.
We'll take it. We have no time!
- But you have to be careful. - I got it.
My lady, please get on.
Hurry up!
I... will take my leave now.
- Hurry up and untie the rope! - Yes, ma'am.
Your Highness, are you all right?
Are you hurt anywhere?
Light more torches. They're somewhere around here!
Ma'am...
Listen carefully to what I am about to say.
You have to... get on that boat alone.
And you have to go as far away as possible.
Court Lady Choi...
You can do it, right?
You're more courageous and strong than anyone else.
I don't want to. Let's go together.
Then what about you? What will happen to you?
Don't worry, we'll be fine.
It'll be dangerous to go together, so once you leave, we'll hide ourselves.
Yes, ma'am.
So please hurry up and leave.
And... you have to survive, no matter what it takes.
You must survive...
and get back everything you've lost.
Court Lady Choi...
Your Highness...
Ma'am, over there!
Court Lady Choi...
Court Lady Choi!
[Hwajung]
No! No, Princess!
How dare you, Gwanghae!
I wasn't able to protect... the princess.
I'll survive through this and see the king demolished someday.
There is someone who dares to sit above the king and look down on me.
Did you just say 'military'?
Just what is it about?
It's probably because of His Majesty's heart.
He's probably sick. You already know about this, sire.
It was a path of no choice to protect the throne.
