In the sky, there can only be one sun.
We should let go of everything.
Let us think only of the children.
Just give me your orders.
Saimdang.
Then after that, Lee Gyeom.
Tonight may possibly be the end of our family.
We must save Ji Kyun and Ji Sung, at the very least.
[Saimdang: Light's Diary]
[Episode 24]
The bait was good.
I caught you with one try.
Where is Saimdang?
I was going to kill her first.
But then I came up with a good idea.
I will kill that wench and you with one sword.
Then display your heads in front of the Gwanghwamun.
The artists who painted the king's portrait were in an illicit relationship.
You have gone truly insane.
If you touch one hair on Saimdang's head
I will follow you to hell and rip you to shreds.
Attack him.
Go around the path to the back.
- If you go there-- - Why are you doing this?
Get them!
My lord.
Am I dying?
How amusing.
The Crown Prince sends royal guards to save you.
Meanwhile, the king orders me to kill you.
What are you talking about?
The king...
wanted you dead.
He wanted you and Saimdang dead.
What did you just say?
The mighty king...
wanted you dead.
In secret...
Saimdang... where is Saimdang?
Tell me. Where is Saimdang?
My lord...
Lady Shin. Where is Lady Shin?
Lady Shin...
should be safe.
Lady Whieumdang went to Lady Shin.
She went to save her.
Whieumdang?
I have a favor to ask.
My husband will end up dying.
He will likely end up being convicted of treason for his plot with the foreigners.
If that happens...
my children...
they will be taken away too.
My children...
My poor children.
Please take care of them for me.
Children, hurry up. We must go.
What's going on?
Are these your clothes?
Where are we going?
What about my mother?
Ji Kyun, I will tell you on the way.
We must get going now. Come on.
- Hurry. Let's get going. - All right.
It's this way!
This way.
Go. Hurry.
What are you doing? Hurry up. Hurry!
Search the area.
Please...
take my poor children.
Watch over them for me.
In our next lives, let us meet as good friends.
It was a failure.
What about Min Chi Hyung?
I have killed Min Chi Hyung.
This incident...
must have no trace of me in it.
I suppose Gyeom will be coming by.
Is everyone here?
Yes, my lady.
Hyang.
I have something for all of you.
- What? - For us?
Wait. What is this?
I have bought farm land for each of you in your hometowns.
- What? - Farm land?
- Land? - This is under my name.
This is my name.
This one has my name.
I made a promise to share the profits, did I not?
Thanks to all of you, we were able to make a living.
I am now keeping that promise.
I even have land now? That's something.
We were about to die. You saved us, my lady.
- Yes. - But, my lady...
Why are you suddenly acting like you'll never see us again?
I think it is time now.
- What? - What?
You have all worked so hard.
My lady...
You must live well no matter where you go.
- What do you mean? - What are you saying?
- I'm going to stay here. - Lady Shin.
- My lady! - Where are you going?
- My lady. - My lady!
Leader Chun, what is Lady Shin saying?
What's going on?
Please help me make paper.
Are you saying we can make money?
They are good people.
They are all citizens of Joseon.
You worked hard.
I will be a guarantor for them.
If any of them causes a problem, you can arrest me in their place.
My lady, did we make goryeoji?
Many hands joined in and brought forth the spring.
Making paper is very difficult manual labor.
It means that this would not have been possible without their help.
You have all worked hard.
I hope you all live a happy life.
Lee Gyeom has arrived. Lee Gyeom has arrived.
Move.
You may leave.
I told you to leave!
So...
are you here to kill?
Or...
are you here to die?
If I have come this far...
I did not come with the intent to live.
Why did you do it?
To Saimdang and me...
why did you do it?
Do you really not know why?
Your Majesty...
You said I was your one and only brother and precious friend.
You said you had no one else to talk to in the palace.
You told me you missed me always and wished to see me.
You told me...
I was all you had.
Yes.
We once had times like that.
So why?
Why!
Why did you do such a thing?
It was you...
who dared to go after my weaknesses.
I had no greed for your throne.
Nor did I raise up the military to oppose you.
How could a king...
want the life of a helpless woman?
I gave you a warning.
I told you not to get into politics.
Everything that happened
was due to your foolish reasoning.
You brought it upon yourself.
Foolish reasoning?
How could you be so deaf to the things around you?
Do you only hear your governors and not the voices of your citizens?
What would you know?
Even among anti-government subjects
I have endured horrors, over and over.
I have protected the throne.
40 years feels like forever!
Do you know why?
Even King Yeonsangun
was dragged down by his own subjects and killed by them.
I saw it myself.
I saw it so clearly.
Dethronement.
How long will you keep that up?
How long are you going to hide behind that?
How dare you?
All of this...
is your fault.
I only wanted to protect this nation Joseon's beginning.
I was only trying to protect the monarchy.
Shut your mouth.
Is that so important?
Enough to kill innocent citizens!
How will you ever know...
the heart of a king?
I must do whatever is necessary.
Stop!
Father, please let Lee Gyeom live.
Please stop this now.
Lee Gyeom.
What are they doing?
He has committed high treason, yet they cannot find him?
You are so right.
He was always a wanderer.
He has been everywhere, east and west.
It seems hard to locate him.
Do you call that an excuse?
Yes, these people ought to die.
Warrant for high treason criminal!
- High treason? - Warrant for high treason!
Who is it?
Whoever catches Lee Gyeom will get a reward of silver.
What in the world?
- Lee Gyeom is a criminal? - Lord Lee Gyeom?
What would Lee Gyeom have done?
Lee Gyeom?
What is this?
What are you all doing?
- This is by royal command. - Royal command?
This land has been closed down, so please leave.
Hey! What are you doing?
- Search the paper market! - Yes, sir!
Shut down Yangryu Paper Production.
All of the assets and rights to the market will go the palace.
Hurry up and leave now!
Look here. Why are you doing this?
Sir, how can you do this without warning?
Due to Lee Gyeom's crime of high treason
we've been ordered to shut this place down.
If you insist on staying, you will be arrested.
What did you say?
What do you mean?
- What is going on here? - Stop this.
What in the world is happening?
This is too much.
How could they do this in one day?
My lady.
Everyone left safely.
That's good.
However...
I heard that Lord Lee Gyeom is wanted for high treason now.
High treason? What do you mean?
My lady, I think you should leave for now.
- My lady. - My lady!
Where are you going, Lady Shin?
- Lady Shin. - Lady Shin.
What... what is going on?
We all got kicked out of the Legendary Bird.
We heard that the Yangryu paper market was shut down, as well.
What in the world is going on here?
What about Lee Gyeom?
We do not know about him either, so we are just frustrated.
Who knows what he's going through and where?
Gosh, my lord.
How could this happen?
Lord Lee Gyeom.
Where is he?
Goodness, where could he be?
Is it really all right to leave Lady Shin and go like this?
I feel the same.
She pushed us to leave, so I did.
But I just can't seem to take another step.
Be quiet!
If you really feel so upset... we could go back.
Gosh, I can't go on anymore either.
I don't know anymore.
Leader Chun was supposed to follow us
so why isn't he coming?
I'm certain that something happened.
Yes, we shouldn't be leaving now.
Something bad must've happened.
What do we do?
Oh, that tickles.
- Is the swelling going down? - It tickles!
Your legs are so cute, like little frog legs.
Look at those legs.
Are you going to be like this?
Let me try this too.
Mother... don't go inside.
Stop that. Oh, stop.
How can I stop?
"Shi... Chak"?
What does that character say?
Why do you need to know that?
I'm trying to have a smart baby.
Oh, are you home?
See, look at that.
That's the secret to birthing a smart baby.
Leave that behind!
Mother.
- Mother. - Don't cry.
- Mother. - Please don't cry.
Don't cry.
Mother.
- Stop crying. - Don't cry.
Ji Kyun and Ji Sung are...
What is it? What's going on?
What is it?
- Mother. - Mother.
What's with the sea of tears?
What did you say?
Hey! You thieving wench!
Did you make Saimdang cry? Did you?
You wench!
What kind of person are you, Father?
You rascal.
Father!
- Come on. Go inside. - My ears hurt.
Are you serious?
Mother. Mother, you should leave.
You should go.
You said you wanted to visit Mount Geumgang.
You should go paint or do whatever.
You should go, Mother.
Yes, why don't you just go?
I will stay right here.
I will take care of that wench, so don't worry about it.
Why don't you just go?
Mother, I will take care of my siblings.
Don't worry and come back.
Yes.
All right. I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - Mother.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Woo.
Your mother is sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Mother.
Hey!
You wretched king!
Sir, why don't we just go attack the palace?
I will gather up all my men in the entire nation.
What did you do wrong anyway?
Don't you feel wronged?
That terrible king...
and those corrupt noblemen.
We'll get rid of them all!
- Get rid of them! - Yeah!
We need to attack them all!
Uncle!
Hello, my lord.
My lord.
Something's happened.
The royal guards took over the Yangryu paper market.
- Royal guards? - Guards?
What about Lady Shin?
Is Lady Shin all right?
She has left for Mount Geumgang.
How can a woman go to Mount Geumgang on her own?
Seriously, now.
I thought if we met again and painted together...
it would be someplace more beautiful than this.
I am happy here too.
I am grateful to be here with you.
I am sorry too.
[Mount Geumgang Birobong Peak]
Mount Geumgang.
At the very least, I want to go to Mount Geumgang.
Before the day I die
I want to climb to Birobong Peak and see the view for myself.
Let's go together after we marry.
You cannot go alone.
No, you cannot go with anyone else.
You must only go with me.
I am all right.
Everything is all right.
I am sorry.
It was all my fault.
How can it be your fault?
You have suffered even more.
Because of me, you are now a criminal.
That will resolve itself, so do not worry.
It is only temporary.
I must stay away temporarily.
Are you really all right?
Yes.
You are at Mount Geumgang, the place you always dreamed of.
Why would you talk of such heavy matters in this moment?
Still...
Three days.
Stay with me for just three days.
That promise we made each other to paint together on Mount Geumgang...
can we make good on that promise now?
What are you doing?
What? Nothing.
What is it?
Nothing, it's just...
I thought I saw a tiger running by.
I could've been mistaken. It ran by so fast.
Oh, it's raining. The painting.
Oh, I'll get it.
Let's put it there.
The moon must be waking from its nap.
The moon's nap?
That's a fun expression.
The sun sees the moon sleep all day.
So it resents the moon, who only wakes late in the night.
The moon is alone late in the dark night.
It faces the darkness and shines on the world.
The sun doesn't realize how hard that is.
The moon is always by the sun's side, protecting it.
But why...
do you look so down?
It's nothing.
We should go down.
[Mount Geumgang Birobong Peak]
Are you there?
Are you inside?
Saimdang!
Saimdang.
Saimdang!
Saimdang.
Saimdang!
I have given it a lot of thought.
This letter I am writing you
is the result of the decision I have come to.
The thought of taking your hand and just leaving with you...
has crossed my mind.
If I do so, my children will live with scandal their entire lives.
I would spend my time painting the children I could never see again.
I cannot live as a mother who has left her children behind.
I am choosing the life of a mother.
I will not regret that.
Though we could not be together in this life...
perhaps it will be possible in another life.
I loved you...
so much that my heart ached.
You should just leave.
There is courtesy even in parting.
We had promised to marry and be together forever.
So, how?
How could you become another man's wife without one word of explanation?
She should not be living like that!
She was so brilliant.
She was so intelligent.
You know that very well.
Saimdang!
How did live all that time alone?
I'm alive because of your sacrifice.
Now it's my turn to save you.
Saimdang...
Saimdang!

Senior, let's gather our strength and try again.
How much more can we fight?
I have the answer.
It's what I predicted, right?
I need to know what Professor Min is thinking and why he did this.
We got mail from Rade.
No!
We must have been destined to meet.
