Halt, Kim Jun!
- By order of the Overlord. - Yangbaek.
You serve the Overlord. Your life is his, and your death!
I have orders to bring you back.
You are also summoned.
Well? Escort Lady Anshim.
- My lady, my lady... - Where are you taking me?
- Move out. - Sir.
Come on, Kim Jun.
That was close. Suicide is disloyal.
Surely you knew that.
Let's go.
They arrested Kim Jun at dawn?
Yes, sir.
Choe Yangbaek brought them both back.
Kim Jun is outside. Lady Anshim is in private quarters.
Kim Jun was about to kill himself when Yangbaek stopped him.
Songi? How is she?
No outward change, sir.
My heart grows numb with each moment, dull, relentless.
Overlord.
The Tripitaka should be coming along. Go to Pongeun Temple and look into it.
We'll take Songi, my wife and her son there as well.
Once there...
we'll place this on the family altar.
May I ask what this is?
Memorial tablets.
You're dismissed. Send in Kim Jun.
Yes, sir
Kneeling, are you? Look at me!
Overlord, order my death and be done.
Please, sir.
- Pongeun Temple? - Yes, Your Grace.
With the Overlord's household.
Why now? Was it my stepmother's idea?
No. I'm told it was the Overlord's orders.
Father?
And we're all to go?
Well, if he insists.
Tell them I'll go, of course.
Your Grace.
You've been a great help to me. Thank you for everything.
You speak as if you're going far away.
It's not much, but it's from the heart.
Will you take it?
Oh, no, I could never, I couldn't, Your Grace.
Please don't make me.
There is a beginning and end to all things.
I may not see you again.
I couldn't.
Take it. Go on.
Your Grace.
You may go, you have your work to do.
Look after Yonshim for me.
Your Grace, why are you talking like this?
Go.
Your Grace.
Your family hasn't gone to the temple for some time now.
Why are you acting so strangely?
You'll see.
My family wants to see me one last time.
Your Grace.
Prepare to leave.
Perhaps a little makeup.
You're a real piece of work.
Just do as you like then kill yourself, is that it?
Allow me to die.
Helping yourself to the woman of the man that freed you?
Unbelievable.
You have one talent.
Women seem to die around you.
To you, women are a curse. Not a blessing, a curse.
Please, sir. Let me die.
You'd like that, wouldn't you?
And what about Songi? What about my little girl?
Overlord.
My little girl, who can't take back what she did for you?
Why did you ever come to curse our Guard Corps anyway?
Overlord, order my death and be done.
You've brought death to our house!
Irreparable hurt and disgrace!
There's nothing I can say.
I'm a worthless slave. Let me die.
Fate is so cruel.
If you hadn't been a slave...
none of this would have happened.
There was a time I thought of marrying you to Songi. But that's in the past now.
You will await my decision.
Please, I beg you, let me die.
I'll decide what to do with you after everything is settle with Songi.
Now go.
Overlord...Overlord...
Overlord...
Anshim has been confined?
Yes, Your Grace.
For Kim Jun to behave this way, after all the Overlord has done for him.
How dare he?
And Songi, I can't understand her.
Killing her own husband out of love for Kim Jun?
All this just to stop those two?
It makes no sense. She should hate them. It's absurd.
Quite so. It's all anyone can talk about.
It's his bad luck with women. That's the real problem.
Your Grace, if I may?
Enter.
Well? How was Songi?
Well, the same as always. She said you're all going to Pongeun Temple.
Is she aware of everything that's happened?
Does she know the danger she's in?
Yes, I'm certain she does.
Well, the Overlord isn't likely to kill his only daughter.
A slap on the wrist, I suppose.
But enough to clip her wings.
Some world we live in.
Now wait a minute.
Lady Songi did what exactly?
Under interrogation for the attempted coup...
Pak Seungson admitted to framing Kim Yakson.
And...?
The mother of the Crown Princess was implicated.
The very idea is ridiculous.
I agree, but the evidence is against her.
That's not... There must be some mistake.
It's absurd to think a wife could do such a thing.
Pardon my saying this...
Speak.
It's rumored that before she married Lord Kim, she had a first love.
Who? Lady Songi?
Yes, Sire.
It's absurd. Ridiculous It can't be.
And even if it's true, that was 20 years ago.
Surely that has nothing to do with today?
I'm not inclined to believe it, either.
But the Guard Corps investigation is conclusive.
This is terrible.
It can't be, it just can't.
Send someone to look into it.
They never give the public the whole truth.
We need to know what is or isn't true, for the Crown Princess.
Yes, Sire.
We're going to Pongeun Temple. Is everyone ready?
Yes, sir, we're your escort.
Oh Seungjok?
Yes.
Mi, the Overlord's stepson.
We're travelling together. You can get to know him.
Yes, Mother.
Hello. I'm Kim Mi.
Hello. I've seen you but we've never actually spoken.
Songi went to the study?
Yes, Your Grace.
How much is there to say?
A mountain's worth, no doubt. But how much really?
You're sending me to the temple?
Yes. Are you all right?
Yes, Father.
We're long overdue to see the progress on the Tripitaka.
You might have a memorial for your husband.
Yes, Father.
My little girl.
Pray with all your soul for your husband.
You understand?
Yes, Father.
And for your own soul.
I have much to atone for as well.
My vanity murdered Kim Yakson.
How, you ask? What do I have to atone for?
For not listening to you in the first place.
Everything has gone wrong.
We did as fate decreed.
I have a favor to ask.
Please...
Spare Kim Jun.
He will be of great use to you.
Still, you think of him?
I was wrong. Wrong about everything.
I should ask your forgiveness.
No, Father.
Haven't you always put the good of Koryo before your family?
We should go. People are waiting.
Yes.
Yes, Father.
Mi, Seungjok, you're brothers now.
- Overlord. - Overlord.
What makes a family? Counting on each other.
- Overlord. - Overlord.
It's nice to see them riding side-by-side.
You're a lucky woman.
The Crown Princess provided an heir. What greater blessing is there?
Thank you, Mother.
Oh my, such a lovely day.
What will this building be?
Your Grace, the Repository of Sutras, or simply, The Hall.
It will house the Tripitaka.
Free of excessive heat or moisture and quite well ventilated.
Carving the Tripitaka with the sacred Buddhist cannon...
is a great blessing to this and future generations.
Please, touch it. And utter a silent prayer.
Buddha will provide.
- Will he? - Yes.
