1
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:13,722
It was the day the young mistress
and the young master held a ritual
2
00:00:13,805 --> 00:00:15,765
in honor of the memory
of the late Lady Ha.
3
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:19,227
- [young Jae-yi gasps]
- You dare make my son bow on the floor?!
4
00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:22,355
- [children whimper]
- Allow him to bow to this lowly spirit?
5
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:24,858
- Huh?!
- Mother! [cries]
6
00:00:24,941 --> 00:00:26,609
[somber music plays]
7
00:00:26,693 --> 00:00:29,029
[indistinct chanting]
8
00:00:29,112 --> 00:00:30,321
[music stops]
9
00:00:30,405 --> 00:00:32,490
[chanting continues]
10
00:00:33,199 --> 00:00:34,284
[gasps]
11
00:00:34,367 --> 00:00:35,910
SIM JAE-YI
12
00:00:35,994 --> 00:00:37,037
- [gasps]
- [Gwigokja] Ha!
13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,997
[ominous music plays]
14
00:00:48,923 --> 00:00:50,884
[young Hongrang strains]
15
00:00:53,178 --> 00:00:55,555
[strains]
16
00:00:56,806 --> 00:00:57,640
[strains]
17
00:00:59,392 --> 00:01:00,643
[young Hongrang shrieks]
18
00:01:01,811 --> 00:01:03,813
[somber music plays]
19
00:01:11,362 --> 00:01:15,200
[gasps] Young master! Oh! [gasps]
20
00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:17,786
[gasps] Can you hear me?
21
00:01:17,869 --> 00:01:20,330
[Yeon-ui] Madame Gwigokja,
please follow me.
22
00:01:21,289 --> 00:01:25,210
[gasps] Young master,
we can't let them see. Come with me.
23
00:01:25,293 --> 00:01:28,254
[young Hongrang groans softly]
24
00:01:31,633 --> 00:01:34,344
[Eul-bun's mother] I was so afraid
that I would be blamed
25
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:36,179
that I did not know what to do.
26
00:01:36,262 --> 00:01:40,391
I was surely not in my right mind when
I moved the young master out of sight.
27
00:01:41,267 --> 00:01:44,229
When I was able
to pull myself together again,
28
00:01:44,312 --> 00:01:47,690
I left to get the others
to come and help me. [cries]
29
00:01:50,777 --> 00:01:53,404
Only when I came back
with the other servants,
30
00:01:53,488 --> 00:01:55,740
there was no trace of the young master.
31
00:01:55,824 --> 00:01:57,575
He was not where I had left him.
32
00:01:57,659 --> 00:02:01,412
As if he had simply disappeared
or been snatched away.
33
00:02:07,001 --> 00:02:08,002
[music fades]
34
00:02:09,546 --> 00:02:10,713
[Gwigokja] Dispose of him.
35
00:02:11,214 --> 00:02:13,216
[somber music resumes]
36
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:26,813
He is not dead.
37
00:02:29,691 --> 00:02:31,526
Those are not my son's remains.
38
00:02:34,237 --> 00:02:35,738
Even for you,
39
00:02:35,822 --> 00:02:37,282
this trick is truly pathetic.
40
00:02:37,365 --> 00:02:39,200
Did you really believe
41
00:02:39,284 --> 00:02:41,744
that you could push the true heir out
with this nonsense?
42
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:43,246
Did you truly believe
43
00:02:43,329 --> 00:02:44,956
that a measly skeleton
44
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:47,584
is enough to ensure
that everything becomes yours?
45
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:49,544
I ask you to hold a funeral in his honor.
46
00:02:49,627 --> 00:02:51,087
- [scoffs]
- [music fades]
47
00:02:51,171 --> 00:02:52,547
He has left us.
48
00:02:52,630 --> 00:02:54,132
Your son is gone.
49
00:02:54,215 --> 00:02:56,676
I want to send my little brother off
in peace.
50
00:02:57,594 --> 00:02:59,888
Imagine how scary and lonely
it was for Hongrang.
51
00:02:59,971 --> 00:03:02,724
How awful it must have been
for him to be down there all alone,
52
00:03:02,807 --> 00:03:04,350
buried in the mud.
53
00:03:07,103 --> 00:03:10,899
You want me to have a funeral for my son?
54
00:03:13,193 --> 00:03:14,444
Ridiculous!
55
00:03:15,403 --> 00:03:17,405
You can throw those old bones away.
56
00:03:17,488 --> 00:03:20,325
I'll die before I grant your request,
for that is not my son.
57
00:03:20,408 --> 00:03:21,409
Then end your life.
58
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:26,456
[melancholic music plays]
59
00:03:26,998 --> 00:03:30,418
Die soon. You know
death is what you deserve.
60
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:33,963
[Yeon-ui] Where is my son?
61
00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:36,424
My real son that you were supposed
to bring back to me!
62
00:03:36,507 --> 00:03:38,718
What have you done with my son?!
63
00:03:38,801 --> 00:03:40,303
Your son is on the table!
64
00:03:41,346 --> 00:03:43,514
Hongrang is dead, and it was your doing!
65
00:03:43,598 --> 00:03:44,766
Do you deny it?
66
00:03:45,683 --> 00:03:47,560
That you are responsible
for his disappearance?
67
00:03:47,644 --> 00:03:48,978
That he is gone because of you?
68
00:03:49,062 --> 00:03:52,148
It was the talisman to ensure my death
that was the cause of this.
69
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:55,652
Your obsession with being rid of me
is what led you to kill your own son.
70
00:03:56,694 --> 00:03:57,612
You are the one
71
00:03:58,738 --> 00:04:00,490
who ended Hongrang's life.
72
00:04:00,573 --> 00:04:01,449
You did this.
73
00:04:02,075 --> 00:04:03,034
[exhales softly]
74
00:04:03,117 --> 00:04:04,202
[music fades]
75
00:04:07,038 --> 00:04:08,539
- [Yeon-ui] I did not!
- [gasping]
76
00:04:09,415 --> 00:04:10,708
[Yeon-ui] This is not my son.
77
00:04:11,417 --> 00:04:12,377
It is not.
78
00:04:12,460 --> 00:04:13,336
It is not!
79
00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:15,630
He is not gone!
80
00:04:15,713 --> 00:04:18,800
He is not my son!
81
00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:21,135
[Yeon-ui screams]
82
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:22,637
- No!
- [cries]
83
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,391
[Yeon-ui] No! This is not my son!
84
00:04:26,474 --> 00:04:29,686
HONGRANG'S GRAVE
85
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:32,939
[melancholic music plays]
86
00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:40,488
[Hongrang sighs]
87
00:04:55,545 --> 00:04:56,838
My apologies
88
00:04:56,921 --> 00:04:59,173
for taking the liberty of using your name.
89
00:04:59,841 --> 00:05:00,717
In return…
90
00:05:03,386 --> 00:05:05,847
I will devote my life
to protecting your dear sister
91
00:05:05,930 --> 00:05:07,390
for all of my days.
92
00:05:09,726 --> 00:05:11,144
I give you my word on this.
93
00:05:16,065 --> 00:05:17,817
Now that I have found him,
94
00:05:19,485 --> 00:05:21,654
my heart will not let me say the words to…
95
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:23,364
to let him go.
96
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:26,701
To send him on his way.
97
00:05:29,537 --> 00:05:30,747
"Farewell"
98
00:05:30,830 --> 00:05:32,165
should suffice.
99
00:05:36,919 --> 00:05:38,880
A farewell is a wish for safe travels.
100
00:05:40,089 --> 00:05:43,343
When it is a longer journey,
it is also a fond goodbye
101
00:05:44,260 --> 00:05:46,179
until we can reunite once more.
102
00:05:46,262 --> 00:05:48,306
A way to say
that we have made good memories
103
00:05:48,389 --> 00:05:50,391
and wish to relive them soon.
104
00:05:51,100 --> 00:05:52,226
I think that
105
00:05:53,811 --> 00:05:56,022
"farewell" is a way
of sending loved ones on their journey
106
00:05:56,105 --> 00:05:57,648
until they can be together again.
107
00:05:57,732 --> 00:05:59,734
[melancholic music continues]
108
00:06:08,451 --> 00:06:09,369
Farewell…
109
00:06:11,871 --> 00:06:12,955
my dear Hongrang.
110
00:06:16,834 --> 00:06:17,794

[child cries]
115
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:46,614
I must recreate
my living canvas talismans,
116
00:06:46,697 --> 00:06:50,159
even if it means
my body will not withstand the task.
117
00:06:50,743 --> 00:06:51,577
However,
118
00:06:52,328 --> 00:06:53,329
for Hongrang…
119
00:06:57,041 --> 00:07:00,837
annihilate the black-clad swordsmen
who ruined my ritual
120
00:07:01,421 --> 00:07:04,215
and return that ungrateful wretch to me.
121
00:07:05,842 --> 00:07:08,261
Highness, my only wish is to serve you.
122
00:07:09,512 --> 00:07:10,805

[In-hoe groans]
126
00:07:24,610 --> 00:07:27,029
The imposter's faithful servant
will say nothing.
127
00:07:27,113 --> 00:07:29,407
Find out where
the assassins are headquartered.
128
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:30,491
Understood.
129
00:07:31,033 --> 00:07:34,662
While we destroy the swordsmen,
I shall get rid of the Soul Reaper.
130
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:37,665
The prince ordered
that we bring him back alive.
131
00:07:39,667 --> 00:07:40,751
Yes, my lord.
132
00:07:40,835 --> 00:07:43,087

[gentle music plays]
138
00:08:20,458 --> 00:08:22,251
I can imagine how scary it was.
139
00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:24,128
And painful.
140
00:08:25,421 --> 00:08:26,547
[Hongrang] I hated it.
141
00:08:27,215 --> 00:08:28,591
It made me ashamed.
142
00:08:28,674 --> 00:08:30,009
The shame is not yours.
143
00:08:30,092 --> 00:08:31,719
All those who abused you,
144
00:08:32,303 --> 00:08:33,804
the shame is entirely theirs.
145
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:39,435
Your words are a soothing balm.
146
00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:43,147
But I still bear the scars.
147
00:08:48,653 --> 00:08:50,321
Just as how your hurt
148
00:08:51,489 --> 00:08:52,615
shows here…
149
00:08:55,201 --> 00:08:56,118
and here.
150
00:08:57,453 --> 00:08:58,496
I hope the future
151
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:01,624
allows us both…
152
00:09:04,335 --> 00:09:06,546
to erase our scars and forget our pain.
153
00:09:07,672 --> 00:09:09,549
It does not have to be forgotten
154
00:09:10,132 --> 00:09:11,092
or erased.
155
00:09:11,676 --> 00:09:14,512
I think it remains a part of us
to be honored,
156
00:09:14,595 --> 00:09:17,515
to be respected, if you are willing.
157
00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:28,693
I am willing.

163
00:10:13,195 --> 00:10:15,948
I am convinced that the grand prince
will in all likelihood
164
00:10:16,032 --> 00:10:17,992
try to blame his wrongdoing on me.
165
00:10:18,075 --> 00:10:20,411
If we are to have any chance
of thwarting His Highness,
166
00:10:20,494 --> 00:10:23,664
we have no choice but to recapture
the imposter before he does.
167
00:10:24,248 --> 00:10:25,333
Yes, my lord.

[ominous music plays]
185
00:12:21,323 --> 00:12:23,242
[Yeol-guk] Tell me
where your headquarters are.
186
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:28,080
Give me what I am looking for and I will
let you leave here with your life.
187
00:12:28,164 --> 00:12:30,082
Or refuse to answer the question
188
00:12:31,125 --> 00:12:33,085
and you die here on my floor.
189
00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:40,176
[music fades]
190
00:12:59,820 --> 00:13:01,530
I will not try to force you to return.
191
00:13:01,614 --> 00:13:04,241
I am simply here to tell you
why you should come back to me.
192
00:13:04,325 --> 00:13:05,659
You are being absurd.
193
00:13:05,743 --> 00:13:06,827
The one you are with
194
00:13:07,578 --> 00:13:09,413
is not going to be here much longer.
195
00:13:09,497 --> 00:13:11,916
He will leave you alone
without his protection.
196
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:14,585
He would never do that.
197
00:13:15,628 --> 00:13:16,504
Yes, he will.
198
00:13:17,004 --> 00:13:18,422
Your lover is dying.
199
00:13:18,506 --> 00:13:19,799
[somber music plays]
200
00:13:19,882 --> 00:13:22,384
I must assume
you have seen the rashes on his skin.
201
00:13:22,968 --> 00:13:24,970
The others used as artwork have died,
202
00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:26,931
or are about to,
which is your father's doing.
203
00:13:27,014 --> 00:13:29,225
For years, he aided the prince
in torturing children,
204
00:13:29,308 --> 00:13:32,269
using toxic materials on their skin
for human canvases.
205
00:13:32,353 --> 00:13:35,523
They bathed them in alum and arsenic,
which are harsh and caustic.
206
00:13:35,606 --> 00:13:37,525
The rash is one of the milder symptoms.
207
00:13:37,608 --> 00:13:40,444
You must have also noticed shortness
of breath due to damage to the lungs,
208
00:13:40,528 --> 00:13:42,905
stiffness or seizures,
and even loss of vision.
209
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:45,908
You know this yourself.
He was exposed for many years.
210
00:13:46,867 --> 00:13:48,577
Even so, he is strong.
211
00:13:48,661 --> 00:13:52,122
The deterioration has already started.
He is going to die.
212
00:13:52,206 --> 00:13:53,666
Please do not say any more.
213
00:13:53,749 --> 00:13:55,417
He had to know
what the future was holding,
214
00:13:55,501 --> 00:13:59,255
which means his keeping you close was
nothing more than cowardly selfishness.
215
00:13:59,338 --> 00:14:00,881
- Quiet!
- Is the truth too much to bear?
216
00:14:00,965 --> 00:14:02,716
It is the truth you would hope for.
217
00:14:03,384 --> 00:14:05,803
Only I no longer believe a word you say.
218
00:14:08,305 --> 00:14:11,308
I only wanted to give you some time
to make the right decision.
219
00:14:11,392 --> 00:14:12,977
Turn away from him before it is too late.
220
00:14:13,060 --> 00:14:17,815
Even if this is the truth, your hopes
of regaining me in your life are futile.
221
00:14:18,774 --> 00:14:20,901
I belong at his side and nowhere else.
222
00:14:21,527 --> 00:14:22,862
As you wish.
223
00:14:22,945 --> 00:14:24,822
If that is the strength of your bond,
224
00:14:26,365 --> 00:14:27,700
I shall sever it for good.
225
00:14:27,783 --> 00:14:29,368
[somber music continues]

[breathes shakily]
227
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:41,589
I have done what you suggest. I went to
physicians and other herbalists as well.
228
00:14:42,590 --> 00:14:46,844
There must be something you can do.
Is there some medicine you have not tried?
229
00:14:47,428 --> 00:14:48,345
[sighs]
230
00:14:49,597 --> 00:14:52,016
[man] If the patient suffers skin rashes
and loss of vision,
231
00:14:52,099 --> 00:14:54,059
it is a sign the disease is most advanced.
232
00:14:54,143 --> 00:14:57,313
There is little to be done but wait
to see if the body can heal itself,
233
00:14:57,396 --> 00:14:58,564
or if it will succumb.
234
00:14:58,647 --> 00:15:00,316

[music fades]

00:16:33,325 --> 00:16:35,202
Why have we not heard
from Hongrang, sister?
245
00:16:35,285 --> 00:16:38,330
Because I told him to leave
when he delivered the partition deed.
246
00:16:38,414 --> 00:16:40,207
- What?
- [Kkot-nim] He did his part.
247
00:16:40,290 --> 00:16:42,584

is it not?

How are you still alive?

[breathes shakily]
The child I was carrying
260
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:25,335
took all the impact of the sword…
261
00:17:26,962 --> 00:17:29,548
you sent the assassin to wield against us.

The Soul Reaper.

You wish to get to him first

in order to protect yourself
against His Royal Highness.

How did you know

that this was the assassins' headquarters?

Ah.

00:18:52,339 --> 00:18:54,466
I suppose the question answers itself.

[Ji-ryeon gasps]
290
00:18:57,511 --> 00:19:00,722
I have been harboring a traitorous thief
all these years.
291
00:19:01,431 --> 00:19:04,685
Or you must have secured the information
for an offer of riches.

[sighs]
298
00:19:47,644 --> 00:19:48,812
I must go to him.

[sighs]
300
00:19:54,818 --> 00:19:56,862
Are you well enough
to attempt to rescue him?
301
00:19:57,362 --> 00:19:59,740
Your body is getting… worse.
302
00:20:01,325 --> 00:20:02,326
You were aware?
303
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:05,746
Why did you not say so?
304
00:20:06,330 --> 00:20:07,623
I wanted to tell you,
305
00:20:08,498 --> 00:20:12,211
but I thought it would worsen
the pain and guilt you feel.
306
00:20:15,088 --> 00:20:16,882
This is why I must go now.
307
00:20:16,965 --> 00:20:19,718
Before my condition worsens
and my skills are no longer useful.
308
00:20:22,262 --> 00:20:24,223
If I fail to destroy the prince's forces,
309
00:20:24,306 --> 00:20:27,726
you will have to watch over your shoulder
your entire life as I have.
310
00:20:28,644 --> 00:20:30,896
I cannot protect you if he lives.
311
00:20:30,979 --> 00:20:33,398
Please understand I must do this.
312
00:20:34,191 --> 00:20:36,193
It is the only way we can survive.
313
00:20:37,736 --> 00:20:39,571
I promise I will return to you.
314
00:20:42,032 --> 00:20:42,866
[Jae-yi sighs]
315
00:20:43,408 --> 00:20:44,618
To your side.

[Jae-yi breathes shakily]

[gentle music continues]
318
00:20:55,545 --> 00:20:56,630
Go, then.
319
00:21:00,133 --> 00:21:01,218
You must do this.
320
00:21:01,718 --> 00:21:03,845
But remember that once you return,
321
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:04,930
it will be us.
322
00:21:05,847 --> 00:21:07,641
Only the two of us, far from those walls.
323
00:21:11,311 --> 00:21:13,313
I wish we could have
fallen in love sooner, Jae-yi.

[chuckles]
325
00:21:15,399 --> 00:21:16,275
As do I.
326
00:21:17,276 --> 00:21:20,070
Then all those first days
of meaningless frustration
327
00:21:21,154 --> 00:21:23,365
would count as our cherished memories now.
328
00:21:26,743 --> 00:21:27,911
Once you come home,
329
00:21:29,871 --> 00:21:30,872
you stay by my side
330
00:21:32,332 --> 00:21:33,333
where you belong

00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:35,919
for all eternity.

00:21:38,338 --> 00:21:39,464
However I can…
334
00:21:41,591 --> 00:21:42,843
I will always be there for you.
335
00:21:42,926 --> 00:21:44,094
For all eternity.
336
00:21:44,177 --> 00:21:45,971
For as long as there are stars.
337
00:21:46,638 --> 00:21:47,681
Eternally.

[music fades]
340
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:12,998
[Jae-yi] And Mother told me
to tell you this,
341
00:22:13,081 --> 00:22:15,083
which should lead you right to the deed.
342
00:22:15,667 --> 00:22:17,002
Stroke the shoulders
343
00:22:17,085 --> 00:22:18,545
of Mong-jun.
344
00:22:18,628 --> 00:22:21,715
As for this man,
do you perhaps recognize him?
345
00:22:21,798 --> 00:22:23,842
[tense music plays]
346
00:22:25,177 --> 00:22:28,305
Mong-jun was the childhood name
of the previous chief merchant,
347
00:22:28,388 --> 00:22:31,641
who was not only my father,
but also your grandfather.
348
00:23:00,545 --> 00:23:02,923
Hongrang has managed to secure the deed.
349
00:23:03,006 --> 00:23:05,050
My son has guaranteed our reign.
350
00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:09,137
We must only await his return
and all will resume its rightful order.
351
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:12,891
Let us go.
I want everything ready to greet my son.
352
00:23:14,935 --> 00:23:17,312
[tense music continues]
353
00:23:21,274 --> 00:23:24,194
[gasps] My sweet son!
354
00:23:24,277 --> 00:23:25,237
[music fades]
355
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,863
I am not your sweet son.

[Yeon-ui chuckles]
357
00:23:29,616 --> 00:23:31,827
- Of course you are.
- I am not your son.
358
00:23:31,910 --> 00:23:34,788
- You are not my mother.
- What are you saying?
359
00:23:35,539 --> 00:23:36,456
Who else would be?
360
00:23:36,540 --> 00:23:38,875
The woman you and the chief merchant
tried to destroy.
361
00:23:39,835 --> 00:23:41,461
Kkot-nim, who you left for dead.
362
00:23:42,045 --> 00:23:43,296
She is my mother.
363
00:23:43,964 --> 00:23:44,798

[haunting music plays]
367
00:23:58,061 --> 00:24:00,147
Who would protect her if you died?
368
00:24:03,191 --> 00:24:04,443
Protect her well.
369
00:24:05,902 --> 00:24:07,612
I hope you live on, my lady.
370
00:24:07,696 --> 00:24:08,780
For many years.
371
00:24:08,864 --> 00:24:10,782
To experience what it is like
372
00:24:10,866 --> 00:24:14,286
to be forsaken and pitiful
and know the ache of true loss.
373
00:24:14,369 --> 00:24:15,745

- [music fades]
- Did I hear you correctly?
378
00:24:35,015 --> 00:24:38,685
Yes, I want to report Chief Merchant Sim
for wrongdoing and unlawful acts.
379
00:24:40,437 --> 00:24:42,772
This report details
his longstanding deceit
380
00:24:42,856 --> 00:24:44,774
and criminal offenses over the years.
381
00:24:45,525 --> 00:24:48,111
As evidence, I have brought ledgers
belonging to the guild
382
00:24:48,195 --> 00:24:49,779
as record of his corrupt practices.

Sim Jae-yi…
387
00:25:24,397 --> 00:25:26,191
Ungrateful demon.
388
00:25:28,944 --> 00:25:30,570
You dare to report me?
389
00:25:31,404 --> 00:25:32,739
- [man 1 strains]
- Move along!
390

[man 2] My lord!
392
00:25:37,410 --> 00:25:39,704
My lord, why are you taking our friends?
393
00:25:39,788 --> 00:25:40,622
Relay this message.
394
00:25:40,705 --> 00:25:41,998
If you wish to have them back,
395
00:25:42,082 --> 00:25:44,751
the Soul Reaper
is to return to His Highness.
396
00:25:45,752 --> 00:25:47,879
- [man 1] Why are you doing this?
- [man 2] Let me go!
397

00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:56,930
[man 2] Let me go!
402
00:25:57,013 --> 00:25:58,682
- [man1] Let me go!
- [man 2] I said let go!
403
00:25:58,765 --> 00:26:01,434
[man 1] Let me go, I said!
We've done nothing!
404
00:26:01,518 --> 00:26:02,435
[man 3] Let me go!
405
00:26:02,519 --> 00:26:04,980
[grunting]
406
00:26:06,481 --> 00:26:07,482
[man 2] Let go!
407
00:26:09,150 --> 00:26:10,694
- [man 4] Here.
- [man 5] Wait here.
408
00:26:10,777 --> 00:26:12,779
[ominous music continues]
409
00:26:13,947 --> 00:26:16,825
Highness, your command is executed.
410
00:26:16,908 --> 00:26:19,578
I have brought those who will lure
your precious painting back to you.
411
00:26:19,661 --> 00:26:20,495
Is that so?
412
00:26:21,162 --> 00:26:23,123
Should I take that
as a sign of shallowness
413
00:26:23,206 --> 00:26:25,083
or proof of your idiocy?
414
00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:35,802
My belief was that you were
an excellent judge of value,
415
00:26:35,885 --> 00:26:37,137
knowing what things are worth.
416
00:26:37,220 --> 00:26:40,640
Yet you insult me by offering
such worthless merchandise
417
00:26:42,017 --> 00:26:46,980
when something of ultimate value has
fallen conveniently into our hands.
418
00:26:47,522 --> 00:26:49,816
[ominous music continues]

421
00:26:57,657 --> 00:26:58,575
Highness!
422
00:26:58,658 --> 00:27:01,745
You are aware that woman
is merely a demon in disguise?
423
00:27:01,828 --> 00:27:04,414
It is she who caused
my most cherished painting
424
00:27:04,497 --> 00:27:06,875
to forget its purpose
and spiral into chaos.
425
00:27:06,958 --> 00:27:08,501
Therefore, we must end the spell
426
00:27:08,585 --> 00:27:11,338
and all thoughts or reasons
to revolt against us.
427
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:18,136
You are to stab this vile creature
through the head and heart.
428
00:27:18,970 --> 00:27:20,472
Be done with this evil.
429
00:27:20,555 --> 00:27:21,848

00:27:27,604 --> 00:27:28,938
Let me go! [grunts]
433
00:27:29,022 --> 00:27:30,023
[man 2] Let me go!
434
00:27:30,106 --> 00:27:33,902
- [man 3] Don't do this. She's not a demon!
- [man 1] Jae-yi! No! [grunts]
435
00:27:35,737 --> 00:27:39,074
[panting] Young mistress Jae-yi
is in danger.

[groans]
443
00:28:30,959 --> 00:28:32,127
Kkot-nim,
444
00:28:33,420 --> 00:28:35,672
it was only after I was told
that you were gone
445
00:28:35,755 --> 00:28:39,551
that I realized it was all
Min Yeon-ui scheming against us.
446
00:28:41,469 --> 00:28:44,431
Kkot-nim, protecting you
was my greatest mission.
447
00:28:44,514 --> 00:28:47,183
I was driven to undertake mad actions
448
00:28:47,267 --> 00:28:49,894
in the attempt to pay
for how I wronged you all those years ago.
449
00:28:49,978 --> 00:28:51,396
It was my curse.
450
00:28:54,524 --> 00:28:56,443
And why I failed to recognize you before.
451
00:28:57,026 --> 00:28:58,778
You have my life in your hands.
452
00:28:59,738 --> 00:29:02,574
It is your privilege to end it
if you so desire.
453
00:29:02,657 --> 00:29:04,784
But will you allow me my vengeance first?
454
00:29:05,285 --> 00:29:07,620
You know that I have
only ever loved one woman,
455
00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:10,123
and that my heart belongs to you.
456

Did you really think I would do this?

Did you truly believe
467
00:30:02,717 --> 00:30:03,968
that I would kill
468
00:30:04,886 --> 00:30:07,096
my one and only reason for living?

It… it is a relief.

Now, at last,
491
00:32:15,975 --> 00:32:16,893
my heart is free.
492
00:32:17,769 --> 00:32:18,686
I may go

without the fear
494
00:32:21,439 --> 00:32:23,942
that you would never forgive me
for what I have done.

You cannot die, brother.

00:32:25,693 --> 00:32:26,861
With that word,

I can be at peace once again.

I came too late.

Yes?

00:34:45,166 --> 00:34:46,167
Of course.

My sister
535
00:34:49,170 --> 00:34:51,005
was worried, was she not?
536
00:34:51,631 --> 00:34:54,425
I told her you would survive your injury
and that she need not worry.
537
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:56,177
You did well.
538
00:34:58,179 --> 00:34:59,222
As always.
539
00:34:59,847 --> 00:35:00,932
Your presence

has always been loyal and true.

00:35:04,769 --> 00:35:06,062
Could you serve her
542
00:35:07,688 --> 00:35:09,857
as you have served me all these years?
543
00:35:09,941 --> 00:35:11,526
I would be honored, my lord.
544
00:35:11,609 --> 00:35:12,985
Then my heart is glad.
545
00:35:17,907 --> 00:35:18,741
Thank you.
546
00:35:19,742 --> 00:35:21,035
I will leave you now.
547
00:35:21,744 --> 00:35:23,287
[Bu-yeong] Where will you be going?
548
00:35:26,833 --> 00:35:29,127
[Mu-jin] Some place far away.
549
00:35:30,128 --> 00:35:31,254
Back to
550
00:35:32,171 --> 00:35:33,506
more glorious days.
551
00:35:34,340 --> 00:35:35,591
That is where
552
00:35:36,175 --> 00:35:37,135
I shall remain
553
00:35:38,427 --> 00:35:40,471
for all eternity.

[gentle ballad continues]
555
00:35:50,898 --> 00:35:52,900
[Bu-yeong] Young master! Do you hear me?
556
00:35:53,943 --> 00:35:55,611

[dramatic music plays]

Take the children to safety.
566
00:36:51,375 --> 00:36:53,211
I will follow you very soon.
567
00:37:13,648 --> 00:37:14,857
Go.

00:37:25,743 --> 00:37:27,745
[eerie high-pitched ringing]
569
00:37:31,540 --> 00:37:33,209
[man 1] Hurry, children!
We're almost there.
570
00:37:33,292 --> 00:37:35,586
[man 2] Stay together
and follow us, quickly!

00:37:55,898 --> 00:37:57,275

580
00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:30,599
I have longed for your return.
581
00:38:32,101 --> 00:38:33,269
But, child,
582
00:38:33,352 --> 00:38:36,022
why so much anger
in your creator's presence?
583
00:38:38,566 --> 00:38:40,943
Why this persistent hatred in your eyes?
584
00:38:41,527 --> 00:38:44,322
You are no doubt acting
with a blinding ignorance
585
00:38:44,405 --> 00:38:46,365
and willful misunderstanding.
586
00:38:46,449 --> 00:38:47,992
[haunting music plays]
587
00:38:48,826 --> 00:38:49,994
[Hongrang] Why did you do
588
00:38:50,786 --> 00:38:52,371
such heinous things
589
00:38:52,455 --> 00:38:53,914
to me and all the others?
590
00:38:54,749 --> 00:38:56,208
My intention to attain
591
00:38:57,084 --> 00:39:01,464
a higher existence is not driven
by selfish aspirations or cruel ambition.
592
00:39:06,177 --> 00:39:08,804
My birthright, my destiny,
593
00:39:08,888 --> 00:39:10,890
is to be the people's vessel.
594
00:39:13,893 --> 00:39:17,313
Only when I have transformed to a true god
595
00:39:18,731 --> 00:39:21,942
will the world rise
to its purest ideal of existence.

[foreboding music plays]
597
00:39:26,238 --> 00:39:27,948
You are a royal fool,
598
00:39:28,657 --> 00:39:31,202
imbued with his own distorted madness.
599
00:39:31,285 --> 00:39:32,620
A spoiled good-for-nothing
600
00:39:32,703 --> 00:39:35,790
who invented a twisted delusion
to erase his worthlessness.
601
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:41,003
You tortured innocent children
because of your own sense of inferiority--
602
00:39:41,087 --> 00:39:42,671
How dare you loose your tongue?!
603
00:39:42,755 --> 00:39:45,508
- How dare you pretend you are a god?!
- [gasps]
604
00:39:47,093 --> 00:39:48,719
How could you be so foolish?
605
00:39:48,803 --> 00:39:50,513
How could you be so arrogant?
606
00:39:50,596 --> 00:39:53,599
You were but useless scrap
before being put into my hands.
607
00:39:53,682 --> 00:39:57,228
I was the one who saved you
from the filth into which you were born.
608
00:39:57,311 --> 00:39:58,896
You were nothing more than vermin,
609
00:39:58,979 --> 00:40:02,149
destined to rot like foul-smelling trash,
a lowly rat!
610
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:05,361
I repurposed you into a glorious being.
611
00:40:06,153 --> 00:40:08,489
Do you not see the honor of being chosen?
612
00:40:09,115 --> 00:40:10,074
[Hongrang] Not once
613
00:40:10,741 --> 00:40:12,743
was I ever able to breathe
without feeling pain
614
00:40:12,827 --> 00:40:14,328
or fall asleep without constant fear.
615
00:40:14,412 --> 00:40:18,374
And not once did I truly laugh or cry
to my heart's content.
616
00:40:18,958 --> 00:40:21,293
I often wished to die
and end the suffering.
617
00:40:23,170 --> 00:40:24,338
With the others.
618
00:40:25,923 --> 00:40:27,425
You took our souls while we lived.

[breathes shakily]
620
00:40:29,135 --> 00:40:31,720
I took it all.
621
00:40:33,013 --> 00:40:35,182
I own every one of you.
622
00:40:36,058 --> 00:40:38,185
How could I not capture your spirit?
623
00:40:40,062 --> 00:40:42,148
You will be released soon.
624
00:40:42,231 --> 00:40:44,984

do you think this would end?

I have etched my royal spirit
onto the canvas that covers you.

The essence of your creator
644

will live on as you will.
645
00:41:59,308 --> 00:42:00,601
What is more,

00:42:00,684 --> 00:42:05,606
as long as my masterpieces representing
virtue and infinitude remain alive,
647
00:42:05,689 --> 00:42:10,194
a god destined to inherit the great cause
will one day reappear.
648
00:42:10,277 --> 00:42:12,571
I will never cease
to be a ruler in this universe!

Loving you changed my life.
677
00:45:04,243 --> 00:45:08,539
After I had completed my mission,
I had planned to end my own life as well.
678
00:45:09,498 --> 00:45:12,668
I thought that this filth
must be torn off or burned away.
679
00:45:12,751 --> 00:45:15,754
I believed I was condemned
by the shame of it.
680
00:45:16,588 --> 00:45:18,298
That I had to die
681
00:45:19,007 --> 00:45:20,801
in the hopes of feeling human again.
682

Your love changed all of that.
686

I know I can live with these scars.
687
00:45:47,286 --> 00:45:49,121
Your love made me human.
688
00:45:51,707 --> 00:45:54,084
And has let me become a man.

The sunrise will find us.

00:46:30,996 --> 00:46:32,539
You might want to rest.
696
00:46:33,957 --> 00:46:35,501
You must be tired, my love.
697
00:46:51,016 --> 00:46:53,268
What if my eyes do not want to open?
698
00:46:54,645 --> 00:46:57,648
I would not want to sleep too long
and keep you waiting.
699
00:46:58,857 --> 00:46:59,858
Do not worry.
700
00:47:00,651 --> 00:47:02,694
You may take a stroll into your dreams,
701
00:47:02,778 --> 00:47:04,988
but if I feel
that you have wandered too far,
702
00:47:05,864 --> 00:47:06,824
I will call you…
703
00:47:08,951 --> 00:47:10,869
and you will return to my side.
704
00:47:11,620 --> 00:47:12,496
Jae-yi…
705
00:47:15,499 --> 00:47:16,875
I can no longer see you.
706
00:47:20,128 --> 00:47:21,463
Know that I am with you,
707
00:47:22,714 --> 00:47:23,674
holding you.
708
00:47:24,591 --> 00:47:26,552
The black of night has closed in.
709
00:47:29,513 --> 00:47:31,557
You are all that exists in the world.
710
00:47:35,060 --> 00:47:36,186
Only
711
00:47:37,729 --> 00:47:39,481
your presence feels stronger now.
712
00:47:40,691 --> 00:47:42,651
When something is hidden from us,
713
00:47:43,151 --> 00:47:44,987
it is not necessarily gone.
714
00:47:46,196 --> 00:47:49,533
It is just like how you cannot make out
the stars on rainy nights.
715
00:47:51,285 --> 00:47:54,329
We know they are there
looking down on us, as always.
716
00:47:54,413 --> 00:47:55,539
When I miss the stars,
717
00:47:55,622 --> 00:47:58,625
I will tell myself that I am
simply weathering a long rainy season.
718
00:48:03,088 --> 00:48:04,548
All I will ask of you
719
00:48:06,508 --> 00:48:07,968
is please come back to me.
720
00:48:08,635 --> 00:48:10,470
Be guided back to my side by them
721
00:48:11,847 --> 00:48:13,140
on a clear, lovely night.

[wheezes]
723
00:48:15,517 --> 00:48:16,351
I will.

00:48:17,936 --> 00:48:18,770
Where?
725
00:48:20,147 --> 00:48:21,481
Where should I go now?
726
00:48:22,399 --> 00:48:24,026
Where your heart calls you.
727
00:48:24,985 --> 00:48:26,278
As I will do also.
728
00:48:27,237 --> 00:48:28,113
Where is that?
729
00:48:28,614 --> 00:48:30,449
Right here at your side.
730
00:48:31,408 --> 00:48:33,035
Here, where you are with me.
731
00:48:33,660 --> 00:48:34,786
Just the two of us.
732
00:48:36,371 --> 00:48:37,414
I am glad.
733
00:48:39,917 --> 00:48:42,377
We are both where we are supposed to be.
734
00:48:44,588 --> 00:48:45,547
[music fades]
735
00:48:46,381 --> 00:48:47,341
We just need to…
736
00:48:49,468 --> 00:48:50,636
be at peace like this.
737
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:51,803
[emotional ballad plays]
738
00:48:51,887 --> 00:48:52,971
[Hongrang] Like this?
739
00:48:55,432 --> 00:48:56,892
What should we do one day?
740
00:48:58,602 --> 00:49:02,314
There are so many new things
that we have not had time to discover yet.
741
00:49:04,441 --> 00:49:07,235
What should we do first?
Perhaps a boat ride?
742
00:49:07,319 --> 00:49:08,862
Because the weather is beautiful.
743
00:49:08,946 --> 00:49:10,572
Maybe go for a night stroll
744
00:49:11,782 --> 00:49:14,493
on a long stone-walled path
and wish upon the moonrise.
745
00:49:15,702 --> 00:49:16,578
Hm?
746
00:49:17,079 --> 00:49:18,372
And I want to swing.
747
00:49:19,331 --> 00:49:21,959
So push me as high as you possibly can.
748
00:49:23,669 --> 00:49:24,503
And…
749
00:49:29,424 --> 00:49:31,426
[emotional ballad continues]
750
00:49:38,058 --> 00:49:39,101
[cries]
751
00:49:40,602 --> 00:49:44,147
We will make aster leaf rice together.
The leaves are in season.
752
00:49:44,731 --> 00:49:46,900
We will find a place to eat in the forest.
753
00:49:46,984 --> 00:49:49,236
In the evening,
we can lie down on the wooden porch
754
00:49:49,319 --> 00:49:50,612
and talk about everything.
755
00:49:51,113 --> 00:49:52,406
Then…
756
00:49:56,159 --> 00:49:58,161
[emotional ballad continues]
757
00:50:00,664 --> 00:50:02,374
[sobs]
758
00:50:14,261 --> 00:50:16,263

[tranquil music plays]
762
00:51:14,321 --> 00:51:15,655
[Yeon-ui] Where is Hongrang?
763
00:51:17,532 --> 00:51:18,950
I want to see my son.
764
00:51:19,034 --> 00:51:21,495
Why is he taking so long to return?
765
00:51:21,578 --> 00:51:23,538
Where has he gone off to again?
766
00:51:24,372 --> 00:51:26,041
He will come to you soon.
767
00:51:26,124 --> 00:51:28,919
Your son is on his way home.
768
00:51:35,884 --> 00:51:37,260
Where is Hongrang?
769
00:51:37,344 --> 00:51:38,678
I wonder
770
00:51:39,763 --> 00:51:41,765
when is that boy going to return?
771
00:51:42,974 --> 00:51:44,684
Soon.
772
00:51:46,645 --> 00:51:50,190
Your son will be coming back to you soon.
773
00:51:55,445 --> 00:51:57,030
[Yeon-ui chuckles]
774
00:52:11,294 --> 00:52:13,004
You want to try to hold it closer.
775
00:52:13,797 --> 00:52:15,298
Don't squeeze too hard. Look.
776
00:52:15,382 --> 00:52:16,842
[child 1] Try to catch me!
777

[child 2 giggles]
779
00:52:26,810 --> 00:52:28,103
[child 3] It's my turn to count!
780
00:52:28,186 --> 00:52:30,355
[child 4] You have to count
to at least ten this time.
781
00:52:30,438 --> 00:52:31,982
[child 3] I'm counting now!
782
00:52:32,482 --> 00:52:36,444
One, two, three, four…
783
00:52:36,528 --> 00:52:37,529
Hello, little one.
784
00:52:37,612 --> 00:52:38,613
[child 5] Cheater!
785
00:52:38,697 --> 00:52:40,782
[laughter]
786
00:52:40,866 --> 00:52:42,868
[tranquil music continues]
787
00:53:08,226 --> 00:53:10,061
[Hongrang] I am right on your sleeve now.
788
00:53:10,896 --> 00:53:11,980
Look at this.
789
00:53:12,772 --> 00:53:14,524
Look at this flower and remember
790
00:53:15,692 --> 00:53:17,360
that I am by your side.

There you are.
