(The incident that happened 10 years ago started from a lie.)
Sinners Gyun Pil Hyung and Gyun Woo.
Come out and take the royal order.
- No, you cannot take him. - Go.
You cannot take him. Why are you doing this?
Woo.
Father.
Arrest the traitor.
- Yes, master. - Yes, master.
- Mother. - Oh, no.
No, Woo! Woo!
Your Highness!
Your Highness, they are...
- They are in huge trouble. - Who are?
The Queen confessed who was behind her...
She did not confess Master Jung's name.
She pointed out Director Gyun and his son.
Master Gyun.
It has been confirmed that Master Gyun wrote the sentence...
10 years ago.
Both his father and himself admitted to it.
But it cannot be the evidence that they were behind the Queen.
We are investigating on it.
The Queen claims that the evidence itself...
which Master Gyun handed in was fabricated.
The one who handed the evidence to my father is...
Yes,
it is Master Gyun.
Did you also fabricate...
the evidence related to the Queen's treason?
I said I did not.
How brazen.
Both the father and son are so stubborn and do not give in.
Then...
we can use a sharper knife to cut them down.
Search everywhere.
Search here.
Find every single thing that is related to the flyers.
- Yes, master. - Yes, master.
What is going on?
- Not this. - Gosh, look.
- These are just books. - Go away.
Why are you doing this?
You!
What are you doing?
There has been a report that the flyers were made in here.
Why would we make flyers here?
You must know since you made them yourselves.
We are writers who write novels in here.
- We... - I found something.
This. Is this not for making flyers?
What are you talking about? That is not ours.
Do not deny. You hid them in the inner room.
We know...
that you made the flyers here and spread fake rumors.
What are you talking about?
Admit to it when you are taken to the Office of Investigation.
Confess that Master Gyun was behind all this.
That is...
the only way you can be saved.
- Arrest them. - Yes, master.
I am sorry, Father.
It is...
all my fault.
You were only 10 years old then.
It cannot be only your fault.
I am more at fault...
for turning a blind eye to it when I knew everything.
Father.
So do not blame yourself.
- Let go. - We did not do anything wrong.
Let go of me.
- We are innocent. - Do not do this.
- We did nothing wrong. - Why are you...
Master Gyun!
- Woo. - Woo.
What happened?
I did just as you ordered.
Well done.
Visit my place some time.
Let us have a drink together.
It is my honor, master.
Master Gyun's friends have been arrested for spreading the flyers.
Things are going to Master Gyun's disadvantage.
Father, you know that it was not done by them.
They found evidence, so an investigation must follow.
Father.
I hope someone innocent does not get falsely charged anymore.
Da Yun.
What brings you here?
I am too ashamed to say this, but I came here to ask for a favor.
A favor?
My brother and father were taken to the Office of Investigation.
Please talk in favor of them and make them...
- get released. - Why should I do that?
It is not like I am his fiancee.
I hope you do not come to see me for things like this again.
Wait.
- Da Yun! - Lady Da Yun!
Goodness.
Goodness, what should I do? Woo...
Throw it away.
- What? - No.
Burn it.
I need to destroy it so that no one else can have it.
You look terrible.
I heard you wrote that sentence.
Why did you make the flyers and distribute them?
I did not do such a thing.
Wrong. You should not answer it like that.
Let me ask you again.
- Why did you kill Min Yoo Hwan? - I did not.
Why did you fabricate the incident 10 years ago?
I did not.
I think the one behind all this...
is someone else.
You are wrong again.
I said you should not answer it that way.
The truth will be revealed no matter what.
Who will be next?
I heard your close friends were arrested.
Guess who will be next.
Your mother?
Your sister?
Or...
the Princess that you care greatly for?
Who will be better?
Do you feel like confessing now?
There must be a sacrifice...
to protect something precious.
Princess.
I learned a lesson...
from living my life that not everything goes my way.
Sometimes, a truth turns into a lie...
and a lie turns into a truth.
Also, there are times when they do not get revealed.
But even if it is not right now...
Even if it is after a long time,
those lies and misunderstandings are to be revealed some day.
That letter...
Why do you think Master Gyun handed it in just now?
10 years ago...
or...
It would have changed if he had brought the letter...
a little earlier than now.
He lost his memory.
He came to write the poster because of a misunderstanding.
He followed your mother to turn it back,
and he lost his memory in the woods.
Are you okay?
Still, I hate him.
Even though it was out of his misunderstanding...
Even though there was a reason,
I still hate him.
I resent him.
Why must it be him...
of all people?
Why did he...
I know how difficult...
and resentful it is to stand, but let us endure a little longer.
The truth will be revealed at the end.
Yes, Grandmother.
I am sorry.
I am sorry for making you suffer like this.
Your Highness.
Lieutenant Kang.
What brings you here at this late night?
Are you here...
to see Master Gyun?
Why did you come to a place like this?
I heard about it.
You were mistaken and you lost your memory.
And...
I heard that you handed the evidence to Father.
I am not here to forgive you.
Even though it is true...
Even though there was nothing you could do about it,
I cannot forgive you.
I came to tell you that I cannot.
Your Highness.
I know that you were not behind the Queen.
This time as well, it must be Master Jung's scheme.
Still, it does not change...
It does not change the fact that you caused the incident.
I will try not to make things go Master Jung's way anyhow.
But it is not because of you.
I wanted to tell you this...
in person so that...
you do not...
be mistaken or have false hope.
That is why I am here.
I am done talking, so I will leave now.
Can I talk to Lieutenant Kang?
He has...
finished with the preparation.
I am not sure...
if we can trust Master Jung's promise.
Look at the situation I am in.
I must hold onto it whether he will keep it or not.
Your Highness, did Master Jung...
Did Master Jung not promise you that he would prepare a boat for you?
Let us hurry back.
How dare you block my way? Get lost right this instant!
Your Highness.
No!
How dare you!
I am the Queen of this country!
If you kill me,
you will never be able to save your lives!
Do not come any closer.
Send this message to Master Jung.
I will never die alone.
I will become a ghost...
and drag him down with me if I must!
It came to an end, so there has to be a beginning too.
All we need is to make up justification now.
"After the Lee family's destruction,"
"a king from the Jung family appears..."
"and a new world lies ahead from then on."
Why don’t you make this prophecy real?
We are distributing...
copies of this book in secret.
Soon, the rumor will spread out.
Subjects always...
dream of a new hero and a new hope.
Be their hero, Master Jung.
All right, let us enjoy this drink for today.
- Let me pour you a drink. - All right.
For a new world!
- For a new world. - For a new world.
Who is there?
How dare you try to confront me?
It is over, Jung Ki Jun.
You...
Do you recognize me?
Prince Eun Sung.
Ghost Mask is a younger brother of Prince Choo Seong.
I thought you died 10 years ago.
You survived like a rat.
You are a rat, not me.
That was quite a scene...
when you ran away, framing an innocent person.
It was nice meeting you in a while.
Goodbye.
