The Night Watchman
Episode 11
That's the man.
That's the man who's manipulating the King and filling the capital with ghosts.
Sadam...
Do you know him?
How could I not?
I think we have a lot of work to do tonight.
That skilled swordsman is Jo Sang Heon?
Yes, my Lord.
It's the same guy I saw when I was in the Royal Guard 12 years ago.
I see... You may leave.
Jo Sang Heon...
The captain of the Night Watchmen is alive...
The King went on a tour to Mount Baekdu to cure your illness.
It was to get the Millennial Flower.
But the shaman of Mago who was capable of blossoming the Millennial Flower
was kidnapped by the Yongsin Tribe...
And the King stopped the monster serpent from ascending to heaven using the Divine Bow.
I thought that'd be the end of it.
But Sadam, the head of the Yongsin Tribe, put a curse on the Millennial Flower...
Which caused the King to be overcome with madness after smelling the cursed Millennial Flower.
Sadam of the Yongsin Tribe is the reason for the King's downfall.
Did you just say the Yongsin Tribe?
You just said the Yongsin Tribe, didn't you?
Yes. The Yongsin Tribe...
Sadam is the man who is the head of the Yongsin Tribe.
Then... Did that Sadam guy kidnap my sister?
So it wasn't a lie when he approached me saying that he knows my sister...
And he must be with my sister right now. Right?
Please tell me. I've waited 12 years!
He approached you?
He wants a shaman of the Mago Tribe...
Then...
That means...
What's the matter?
This book... 'The Virile Man of the Palace.'
What a great story!
Where is the third book?
What is this? 'The Night Watchmen's Journal?'
'The Night Watchmen's Journal...' What is this?
I wrote this.
What's going on?
How could this be here?
How could this be here?
If he's filling the capital with ghosts while looking for a shaman of Mago...
There can be only one explanation for it.
What could that be?
The monster serpent's ascension.
He wants to take over this kingdom by sending it up to heaven...
Brother! What are you talking...
Talking about? Just be quiet.
Jo Sang Heon is alive and is now working with the Prince...
Does that mean he knows something?
Did he hear rumors from a ghost or something?
How could I, Park Soo Jong, become afraid of nonsensical things such as ghosts?
A guest is here for you, my Lord.
What is a lowly priest like you doing at my residence?
I believe you're not in a position to discriminate right now.
What?
My life may be in jeopardy, but I'll never cooperate with a pariah like you!
What are you doing? Kick him out!
Yes, sir!
You'll need me in the near future, Prime Minister.
Do you think I'll fall for your empty threats?
Get him out!
You can only break out of this situation by working with me!
Come see me at Maeranbang if you change your mind.
What can we do if the Prime Minister is like that?
Finally, the Prime Minister knows what fear feels like.
There's now fear in the ironclad mind of the Prime Minister.
That fear will cause a crack... And I'll go in through that crack.
Jo Sang Heon knows...
Is anyone out there?
My father, who was mad, murdered my adulterous mother.
That's what I know. But...
If this isn't true, I'd like to know everything about the truth.
Please tell me everything.
I don't know anything about the death of your parents.
And...
I don't know anything about your sister either.
You're lying! You know something, but are just hiding it.
Then who's the woman mentioned in the Journal?
Who's the woman that caused my father's madness?
This is very important to me. Please do not ignore my plea.
Please! Please tell us the truth!
I really don't know anything.
Well, that settles it then.
Let's go to bed instead of talking about useless things!
Let's just sleep!
Brother...
Be quiet...
Why is it so noisy...
What's going on?
What is it?
Who is it? Who sent you?
What's going on?
- Sir! - What's going on?
- Are you okay? - Are you hurt?
It was ordered by Park Soo Jong.
He's the man who broke up the Night Watchmen.
I thought the King is the only enemy in the beginning.
But now...
I can't even fathom how many hidden enemies are out there.
My Prince...
Every time I make a move to find out about something...
I have to face so many detractors who want to stop me.
How big of a secret did my father deal with
that everyone wants to stop me from finding out?
Please calm down.
I thought something would change once I find out more about my father.
But...
I don't know anymore.
I have no idea what kind of person my father was anymore.
Why did he leave so many enemies behind for me to deal with?
That makes me angry.
The reason why he chose to go on a dangerous tour of Mount Baekdu...
was his great love for you, my Prince.
Just remember that.
Did he really love me to begin with?
I only remember his eyes overcome with madness, and his sharp blade...
And how he pointed his sword at me.
To me...
That was everything about my father.
If that was not the true side of my father...
I'll not forgive those who forced me to have those memories.
Be it Sadam, the Prime Minister, or that woman...
I'll not forgive anyone.
The Prince will be cured.
He has a brave father like you protecting him!
That Prince is not the current king, but Rin...
Lee Rin...
They must be waiting for my return.
Both Rin and the Queen...
Both Rin and the Queen...
Wait! Wait a moment!
He couldn't sleep at night, worried about his sick son.
And he treated me very warmly, just as how he would treat his son.
That's how I remember the King.
And I believe that was his true self.
This is something that embodies the King's true self.
The King's...
True self...
I went through so many hardships to give you this...
But I couldn't give it to you until now because I've become weird.
I'm afraid I've been very ill.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Rin.
Just for a bit...
Can we stay like this just for a bit?
How will you deal with the consequence?
What if the Prince finds out that Do Ha's sister is the one he's been looking for?
Silence.
Do not speak of that ever again.
You can't do this, Brother. You've done so well so far!
I've been pretending so far.
I'm born to be a Night Watchman. I shall follow what my heart desires.
The goddess of smallpox is finally here.
Who is it?
Is it Handmaiden Lee?
Answer me now.
What's wrong, my Queen?
Just a nightmare. A bad one...
Thank God it was just a dream...
The storage for local clinics is supposed to supply medicinal herbs to your subjects.
But the Prime Minister's daughter gave away the right to supply medicinal herbs
for her personal gain.
This is a serious violation of the laws of this kingdom.
So you must bring those who are responsible to justice, my King.
I may show my mercy on many other things...
But I can't forgive those who damage my subjects' welfare.
Arrest the Prime Minister's daughter at once!
You're under arrest per royal order.
What?
- Arrest her. - Yes, sir!
My Lady! Let her go!
Let go of me!
What are you doing?
Let go of your hands.
Cousin...
We're here to carry out the royal order.
The royal order!
Cousin...
You won't let this happen, will you?
- Let's go. - Yes, sir!
Help me! Cousin!
- Put her in the cell. - Yes!
I'll be out soon. I will be.
On that day, Park Soo Jong removed all his enemies and consolidated power.
So then where were you when my father died?
I was outside of the palace that night.
I'm not sure what happened...
If I hadn't died, I could have found out.
Hey. What's wrong?
Do you know something?
How can I know anything?
Why are you screaming at me?
Put your hand down!
How could you do this to Soo Ryun?
You know how she feels about you!
What would you do if your good friend did something wrong?
If you're in the position to reveal his wrongdoings?
Is that why you asked such question?
You asked me that question so you can stab your friend in her back?
Do you think she's someone who wants to profit by abusing her power?
Lady Soo Ryun...
I truly don't think she's like that.
Then why are you cornering Soo Ryun towards death?
I tried to protect Lady Soo Ryun before something worse happens.
This isn't something that was done by her alone.
So then what are you going to do?
She must had her reasons. I will figure those out.
Many people will vouch for her too.
I will do everything that's within my power.
Do you really think that's feasible?
Do you think the King, who is suspicious of the Prime Minister
will let Soo Ryun go that easily?
What brings you here, my Prince?
I'm here to see Lady Soo Ryun.
You should leave.
Are you here to make an apology or something?
How is your selfish apology going to help Soo Ryun?
We don't need it, so just leave.
I'm here to see Lady Soo Ryun, not you.
What are you doing, guards? You must remain vigilant!
Show him the way out!
Father...
Father...
The Prince has put you in here.
- Father... - So...
You should stop admiring him starting today.
The Prince...
How...
How...
How could he not visit even once?
Not even once...
He's just like that.
My Prince...
In Hwa!
Stay away!
I heard the goddess of smallpox is here to destroy the whole village!
Yes, we must kick her out of here!
In Hwa! Wake up!
You can't go to father even though he's calling you!
Father...
In Hwa...
Cousin...
Don't come in!
I caught smallpox when I was young. So I'm fine.
But you're in danger.
I wish I can catch it instead of her.
Don't say that!
You're all she has.
I've brought some medicine. She'll be okay.
There's nothing I can do for her...
Just like when our parents passed away...
There's... There's nothing I can do...
Come to your senses!
This is from the Royal Clinic.
So this is from the King...
He said it's for his dear friend who practices swordsmanship with him.
She'll be okay once she takes this.
What is it?
What are you doing?
There's no way he left while the monster serpent is still here.
He must still be in the capital.
Where are you going in such a hurry?
Did you really see him here?
I saw him on the day when Maeranbang first opened.
He'd be difficult to face by yourself.
So you should ask for help from others...
Why do you keep doing it?
You keep looking behind me as if someone's there.
There is.
I forgot for a moment that you believe in ghosts.
In Hwa...
She says her name is Kang In Hwa.
She says she needs to say something to her brother.
How do you know that? How do you know my In Hwa?
She's behind you.
In Hwa is like a shrapnel stuck in my heart!
Are you pulling tricks on me with someone who means so much to me?
I'm not pulling tricks.
I can see and hear ghosts.
My duty is to tell the ghosts' stories to living humans.
That's why I'm doing this.
I can tell you her story, if you wish.
I guess I won't have to worry anymore.
Goodbye then.
Ma'am...
What do you think you're doing?
The King has ordered to confiscate all documents related to Park Soo Ryun.
I must cooperate if that's the King's wish.
- Search! - Yes, sir!
Moo Seok...
In Hwa...
Why are you here? What brings you here?
Can I come in?
One moment, sir.
Please come in.
What is it?
I heard soldiers were here. Is everything okay?
I already burned the contract. There shouldn't be any problem.
I do have something to give to you.
Sir!
It's been getting cold lately. Please wear this when you go outside.
Thank you.
Why are you here?
Why are you staring at me?
I'm here because I need to ask him something.
He's not someone whom a lowly girl like you can talk to.
I need to ask him about my sister's whereabouts.
Please be careful of that man nonetheless.
Please stay away from him as much as possible.
He may harm you.
Why are you so worried about me?
Just because...
Because I don't want you to get hurt.
I've been quite cruel to you.
I don't know why!
I just get worried and concerned about you.
So...
I'll take care of my own business.
You should leave. Now.
Leave now.
And there's no one here in Maeranbang who looks like your sister.
So don't ever come again. Understood?
Would you please write for me too?
I can send more than 100 of these if it's for Lady Soo Ryun!
Of course!
What are you doing?
Prince Wolgang has asked us to submit petitions for Lady Soo Ryun's release.
The Lady Soo Ryun that we know isn't someone who would use this clinic to make a profit!
- She's right! - That's right!
Are you out of your minds?
The King is very angry.
Do you want his wrath to affect this clinic too?
Do you want the person next to you to be executed?
You must think twice about this.
We're willing to submit petitions for Lady Soo Ryun's release...
But the Prince told us not to.
I don't know what kind of problem he has with the Prime Minister...
We're quite frustrated too.
I've been worried because he's been very close to the Prince lately...
But I guess I won't have to worry about him for a while.
My Lady!
Even after all you've done for them...
no one from the clinic is willing to submit a petition for you...
What can we do?
Stop crying! Has someone died?
The King is combing through all the clinics and medical schools...
using this incident as the excuse.
This will eventually put all of us in jeopardy!
People speak of a comprehensive audit in the near future!
Prime Minister...
You're in the palace quite often lately.
Are you sick?
Grandmother...
It's okay. I'm fine.
Grandmother...
I have a question...
I'm not feeling that great. Can you ask me some other time?
You may leave.
- Here you go! - Thank you!
Thank you! Two bronze coins, sir!
Welcome! We have more seats on the second floor!
Two guests to the second floor!
Can we please stop, brother?
You shouldn't be doing this.
The reason why the capital is full of ghosts is to cure the monster serpent.
The monster serpent? The one we caught that day?
Damn it!
See? You're not allowed!
If you continue to interfere with the world of ghosts...
you'll be dead!
Come to your senses! Please!
Have you already forgotten that you gained your life back
by promising to live only as a human being?
You'll be dead in a heartbeat if you do something stupid!
That's enough.
Brother! Listen to me!
Hello.
I'd like to talk to you.
So we must get rid of the monster serpent first.
That's correct.
Now there's a library where the Treasury used to be.
So we must find the secret entrance to the hidden part of the Treasury first.
I know the entrance already.
I've been there, too.
Then did you see the stone statue of the monster serpent?
There was no statue.
It'll be in the deepest part of the Treasury.
The Divine Bow is probably there too.
We must destroy the monster serpent by putting an arrow through its reversed scales.
So we'll go tonight...
I'll go.
I must do it.
You should stay back. Let me do this.
I beg of you.
I'll go with him.
You?
I'll do anything that will interfere with Sadam's plan.
Everything is going along with my plan.
I've managed to beat the Prime Minister for the first time!
From now on, I'll rule the country myself instead of getting swayed by my court.
I'll rule all by myself without relying on lowly Taoist priests!
You'll do great, my King.
But my King... About the daughter of the Prime Minister...
I'm feeling great!
I finally feel like I'm the King for the first time!
Are you okay?
Light this up.
Give me a second.
You scared me!
What are you doing right now?
How could you be here?
I didn't know the palace has a place like this.
Where is this?
The reality of ghosts is here. Something that you truly deny.
A monster serpent sleeps here.
No, you can't. Go quickly.
Why is it not opening?
I wonder why... We're at the right place...
You two...
Have you been lost in your dreams?
What if you're mistaking something that you saw in your dreams?
That's enough!
All this talk of monster serpents and ghosts...
I've been foolish to follow you all the way here.
It's real.
There was a door here.
That's enough!
There's no such thing as ghosts in this world.
Both of you should come to your senses.
I took care of it so that no one can come near.
Well done.
Well done.
The King will interrogate Lady Soo Ryun himself.
What?
The King is going to interrogate Soo Ryun?
I believe we'll need one more cup here.
I'll get it.
Tell me how a lowly priest like you can help me.
Now!
How about a cup of tea first?
Now! Tell me now!
I'm afraid your precious daughter has been out of her home for too long.
I'll send her back home very soon.
If you do anything stupid, I'll cut your head off first!
You shall remember that. Got it?
I shall, my Lord.
It was so foolish of me to follow you to find the monster serpent.
You should stop complaining!
Can I not talk with my own mouth?
Enough, you two. This is why you're Aung and Daung...
You little...
Where are you going?
Smallpox...
This is smallpox.
Smallpox?
Smallpox is spreading.
Then is the goddess of smallpox here?
Who do you think I am? I'm the daughter of the Prime Minister!
Long time no see, my Lady.
My King...
Prince Wolgang caused the chaos in the capital.
And you're the only one who can save the people.
You must do the right thing so that there are no more victims like your sister.
So please come with me.
The Prince and I can see ghosts. So we can use the weapon.
Sadam must be stopped.
Please teach me the skills of the Night Watchmen.
