Your Highness.

What we saw at Gaema Plateau...

If they get out of here,

Joseon will be no more.

We must find the leader and behead it.

Leave it.

Give up your lives...

and protect Joseon!

Protect the Majesty!

(Be our guardian against the malice and tricks of Satan.)

(In the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.)

(Be our guardian against the malice and tricks of Satan.)

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

Bang Won.

Bang Won.

Bang Won.

Father?

Your Majesty, pull yourself together.

You must break from the ghost of Azazel.

Do not be stupid.

That is my father.

Your Majesty.

Bang Won.

This is your brother Bang Seok's blood.

(Lee Bang Seok: Tae Jong's youngest brother whom he killed to become king.)

Azazel.

You dare insult my father?

I will kill you for this.

Bang Won.

You killed your brother with your own hands.

The same will happen to your sons.

Your Majesty!

Please calm down!

That is not your late father!

Your Majesty!

- Calm down! - Your Majesty!

(so your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.)

I...

killed the undead.

To save Joseon...

I killed the undead.

Your... Your Highness.

- Ji Gyeom. - Your Highness.

- Why is this... - Let... Let go...

Your Highness.

Yang Nyung tells me to be strict.

And Choong Nyung tells me to be gentle.

I listened to them both.

They say the father should be strict, and the mother should be gentle.

You are right, Your Highness.

Today is the day my hawk ends its training...

and goes hunting for the first time.

I wanted to go with both my brothers,

so it is a pity.

You can think of today as practice.

If your hawk successfully finishes its hunt,

you can show it to them then.

Okay.

I cannot wait to find out what they have to say about it.

There we go.

Okay, Haedong.

Go fly!

Your... Your Highness! You... You are bleeding!

It is okay. I have been hurt a lot worse.

But still...

My hawk must have spotted a prey already.

Yes! Go on, Haedong!

- Go get it! - Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Go and check what it is that Haedong caught.

Yes, Your Highness.

What is it?

What did Haedong catch?

Is it a rat?

Sa Gi.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, you must go.

What are you doing? Escort his Highness right now!

Your Highness, you must run.

You must run away right now!

Your Highness, you need to go!

Your Highness!

How dare you!

Stay still.

Have you forgotten that I am equivalent to the skies?

If you add...

a stroke to the word "sky", it turns into the word "husband".

Today, I am your husband,

so you can be the one lying down.

Minister of War, you are here.

- Tell him I am here. - The thing is...

You pathetic punk.

You should know what is best for His Highness.

Your Highness, it is I, the minister of war. I will go inside.

What brings my father-in-law all the way here?

Did your daughter tell you to check...

whom I am having an affair with?

I am not here as my daughter's father.

I am here to see you as the minister of war...

and your loyal subject.

Defending the fortress was the first thing His Majesty ordered...

after he became King.

You have been spending the past year pleasing His Majesty.

And now you are suddenly acting like you are my loyal subject?

From how I see it,

it looks like you came to keep an eye on me...

because you are scared she might get pregnant with a prince...

and squeeze out the child that your daughter gave birth to.

Is that correct?

It has only been two days since His Majesty banned everyone...

from holding festivals and drinking alcohol.

You talk as if you have many lives to spare.

If you die while taking His Majesty's side,

do you think anyone will be able to help you come back to life?

I am not the person you should be trying to kill.

If you want to inherit the throne and become the king,

you need to kill those who have disappeared from Bakseok hill.

A monstrous being...

that sucked the blood of its own child has appeared in Bakseok hill.

(Monstrous being: An unknown creature that is hard to explain in words)

They are dead but alive,

so the commoners call it the "undead".

"The undead"?

That is not all.

The mother and children who got bitten by the undead...

also turned into the same creatures.

They eventually sucked the blood of their neighbors...

and turned the entire area into a place filled with the undead.

Father.

Father...

Seok Joong.

No one...

should know about what happened here today.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The first order my father gave after returning...

was the reinforcement of the fort security?

Yes, Your Highness.

Lord Choong Nyung sneaked out after him...

and was nearly harmed.

Why on earth would he...

So how is he? Is he all right?

From what I hear, His Majesty ordered him to Uiju.

Uiju? Why there of all places?

It probably has to do with the undead.

What do these so-called "undead"...

look like anyway?

- Goodness. - Gosh.

- Gosh. - My gosh.

- Was someone hurt? - Goodness, me.

Are you all right?

You imbeciles must have a death will.

Have you forgotten who occupies this carriage?

Forgive me, sir.

But the carriage kept getting heavier.

He's right.

I'd say we were carrying a mountain.

You idiots.

Only the lady and her newborn are in there.

Who could have added more weight to it?

Lift it back up this instant!

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

All right. Here we go.

1, 2, 3.

- Where are you coming from? - Yangju, Your Highness.

Where in Yangju?

Gupabal, Your Highness.

Gupabal right next to Bakseok Hill?

Yes, but why do you ask...

I am the butler for Minister Ha.

His daughter-in-law went to her parents' to have her child...

and we were escorting her back.

Her condition worsened though, so we were hurrying.

Even the noble are subjects of the nation.

Forgive me, Your Highness, but the lady is tremendously sick

and her child's life is touch and go.

Please let us hurry through.

Ha Won Ik is the son of Lord Ha, a founding contributor,

and a supporter of your abdication.

They should be let through.

If that is the case...

Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you.

Don't just sit there. Carry the lady in.

- 1, 2, 3. - 1, 2, 3.

All right.

Stop right there.

This is the smell of a corpse's blood.

Why would it be dripping from this carriage?

Lower the carriage.

Your Highness, please.

Move! Your Highness!

- Your Highness. - What are you doing here?

The Queen ordered your return to Changdeokgung Palace.
