The Night Watchman (야경꾼 일지)

Episode 12 Synced to SAM's encode by seproast

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?

You shouldn't go near them.

Sleepy, sleepy, my baby. Sleep well, my baby.

Why is he crying all of a sudden? What's going on?

Hey, Gil Dong! What's wrong?

Gil Dong! My poor baby!

Smallpox is spreading.

Does this mean that the goddess of smallpox is here?

The goddess of smallpox?

There's no goddess. It's just another disease.

Now you think a real disease to be the work of a ghost?

We'll have our own deep discussion

on the goddess of smallpox and the monster serpent.

You may leave.

Why are there so many flies here? This place is full of flies!

All different kinds of flies!

You should be glad that the flies are here instead of the goddess of smallpox!

I heard if we write an amulet with red letters

we might be able to avoid the disease.

Should we write one for each person?

That's right.

I also heard that if we call out the names of gods

21 times when a rooster cries in the morning

we can avoid the disease.

- Is that so? - Look, everyone!

You can't be swayed by such rumors.

You must trust yourself. These are all superstitions!

I guess so.

Let's drink up.

My Prince!

The doors of the Treasury were locked.

As if they were walls from the beginning...

I couldn't open them no matter what.

It's weird. We could go there before.

Perhaps Sadam did something to lock the doors.

It might be an uphill battle from now on.

I don't know why only bad things are happening...

Now we have the goddess of smallpox...

You should find Sadam first. He's probably still in the capital.

He wouldn't abandon the monster serpent that he spent 12 years searching for.

Move, quickly!

Her royal highness does not wish to see you today.

I'm here because I'm worried about my grandmother.

I need to see how she's doing. So step aside.

I told you not to frequent the Palace anymore.

I said that not too long ago.

You should leave.

Grandmother. I'm here because I'm worried.

Smallpox is spreading.

I'm fine. You should leave.

Remember what I said to you if you're truly worried about me.

Understood?

Grandmother...

Show him out, Handmaiden Lee.

Yes, my Queen.

What are you doing? Let go of me!

Untie me. Who do you think I am?

I'm the daughter of the Prime Minister.

My father is the Prime Minister!

Is there anyone who doesn't know that in this kingdom?

My King...

Long time no see, my Lady.

I can give you what you want.

Terrible news, Prime Minister.

You shouldn't be here right now.

The King is interrogating your daughter himself.

What? The King is?

My King.

Halt.

What is it?

I've been thinking about what I should do with you.

It wouldn't do any good for you to be here...

There's something more important than that.

Something more important than this?

What could it be?

Smallpox is spreading throughout the capital.

I'm aware.

It's more serious than you think.

A countless number of corpses are being carted out of the capital at this moment.

I've given my order to open more clinics and release all necessary medicines.

You should be more concerned about your own safety!

How could the Prime Minister of this kingdom

only be concerned about his own safety?

Only Maeranbang has all the effective medicines against smallpox right now.

Everyone will die if Maeranbang doesn't release its medicines!

That is none of your business! I'll take care of it!

Father...

Father...

Welcome home, sir.

In Hwa...

In Hwa...

In Hwa...

In Hwa...

In Hwa...

In Hwa...

In Hwa...

This is all because of Prince Wolgang...

Prince Wolgang... The goddess of smallpox...

This is all because of Prince Wolgang...

Prince Wolgang brought the goddess of smallpox...

Prince Wolgang brought smallpox to take over the throne...

Mom, I hear something from the well.

Prince Wolgang brought the goddess of smallpox.

It's Prince Wolgang.

I heard Prince Wolgang is to blame for all this.

That's right.

Apparently he prayed every night calling the goddess of smallpox.

- Every night? - That's right.

How could he do that as a prince of this kingdom?

You should be careful too.

Prince Wolgang brought the goddess of smallpox.

Prince Wolgang brought smallpox to take over the throne...

My King, the Queen Dowager does not wish to see you today.

What? She wants me to leave?

I'm here to give her my regards. But she wants me to just leave?

That's what the Queen Dowager said.

I guess she's trying to ignore me too.

No wonder why everyone thinks I'm a joke!

Even my own grandmother doesn't want to see me!

That's not true, my King. Please calm down.

Calm down? I hate hearing that!

My King...

Are you showing your contempt for the head of this kingdom, Grandmother?

I'm your grandson, trying to see how you're doing!

Would you ever treat Wolgang like this?

My King. Not today.

Grandmother!

My King! Please calm down.

Please respect the Queen Dowager's request!

Why is this door locked? Open it now!

Open it! Open it now!

Please step back, my King!

Open this door!

Grandmother...

Escort him out, Handmaiden Lee.

Grandmother... Is it smallpox?

Leave now. Leave!

You might catch it too, my King! You must leave!

Let go of me!

Why didn't you tell me, Grandmother?

She locked herself in because she didn't want to harm you...

Quiet...

She's been surviving only on medicine...

Grandmother...

Leave now, my King.

You must protect your body.

Leave! Leave now!

Grandmother...

Send the royal doctor to grandmother. Now!

The royal doctor? Nonsense!

If you leave her like that, the goddess of smallpox will come to you too!

But now you want to send her the royal doctor?

Who would rejoice the most if you catch smallpox?

Probably Prince Wolgang! That's what he's going for!

So come to your senses!

I can see all these ghosts of smallpox tagging on your body...

Here, here, and here...

I can't even count them!

No!

Shut up!

Don't ever try to use me again.

Anyone out there?

I'm going to pray.

I'll clean myself then start praying for

the swift recovery of Grandmother and my people!

Go away!

This is maddening!

Why is everyone staring at me like that?

This is total nonsense!

They say the goddess of smallpox...

was brought here by you.

The goddess of smallpox...

Nonsense.

You must be careful. The vibe here isn't too great.

I think you should stay at home on a day like today.

Yes?

Don't worry.

I heard you used to be a Night Watchman too.

So you must know something about my sister too, right?

I really don't know anything about that.

All I did was just write down the things I was told.

Sir...

I guess Do Ha is quite frustrated too.

Sang Heon and I had some difficulty stopping her from going for Sadam.

I heard the Night Watchmen used to repel ghosts away.

But how come they can't get rid of Sadam or the goddess of smallpox?

Well...

That's because Sang Heon is the only survivor who can still use magic.

All I was good for was keeping the journal.

It takes a lot of men to seal ghosts and repel them...

by using magic and formations.
