Are you all right? The palanquin is...

Sir?

What is wrong?

Are you unwell?

- I think you should get off now. - Pardon?

So suddenly?

Man Su, stop the palanquin.

Pardon?

Yes, Supervisor Sir. Stop the palanquin.

Sir?

Sir, at least tell me your name.

Hurry, go.

- Man Su. - Ye... yes...

Ye... yes, Supervisor Sir.

Supervisor?

Be careful on your way home.

Let's go.

One, two, three!

So suddenly...

Wait, Sir! Your name!

Sir...

Do I smell of sweat?

Darn.

Episode 3: Ma Wang

Will she be all right alone at night?

The town is just ahead, but...

Sir?

I mean, how could he just tell me to get off so suddenly?

Is this the right way?

I wonder how Annoying One and Long Face are doing.

Whoa.

What's wrong with these people...

Hold on tightly.

The road is rough here.

The palanquin keeps shaking!

No, wait.

It's shaking too much.

Hold on!

Put down the palanquin!

What are you doing?

Sir, are you all right?

This...

Sir?

What is that?

A tiger.

- A tiger! - No!

It's the water demon! A water demon!

Sir!

He's not here.

Run!

Hurry!

You have made a mistake, Ha Ram.

You have left the palace on such an ominous night.

Found it...

my eyes.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Are you all right?

Left State Minister, so you must have heard if you have ears.

There is a rumor...

that those owls are begrudging spirits, who had died unfairly at the palace.

The bloodshed by the late King in the palace

returned as begrudging spirits.

One or many...

they are only wild animals.

It is undeniable that

every time an owl cries, someone falls ill or dies.

Owls cry at night by nature.

Please do not concern yourself.

However, the old saying goes that

every time an owl cries in the village, a household is bereaved.

Minister...

do not cause worry for His Majesty with such foul words.

Your Majesty, it is no doubt it is an ominous foreshadowing.

Has Supervisor Ha not returned from Inwang Mountain yet?

I must discuss it with him in person.

Supervisor Ha is on duty at Gwancheondae until tomorrow morning.

Why do you seek a man like Supervisor Ha every time something like this happens?

I will ask Supervisor Jang of Seomungwan

to relay to Supervisor Ha to return immediately.

How could a king earn his people's respect

should such strange happenings continue?

Senior Eunuch, tell them to perform the Cleansing Ritual as soon as dawn breaks.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Are you not the attendant who works for Supervisor Ha?

What are you doing here?

Supervisor Jang, please find Supervisor Ha!

There has been a disaster in Inwang Mountain.

What...

What disaster? Tell me more.

We were passing the upper mountains

when we heard the sky rip open

and the palanquin broke

and a water demon appeared in the sky.

And Supervisor Ha...

Child. Where are you going in such haste?

Granny, what are you doing here?

Come here and get warm.

Oh, the fire.

Thank you for the offer, but I must be going.

It's cold.

You will be very cold.

Oh, my...

Why is it suddenly so cold?

I will stay for only a little while.

This is repayment for your father's painting.

Father's painting...

You should pay me separately for that, granny.

This is plenty. Don't speak nonsense.

Nothing is free in this world.

My goodness, you young thing. So stubborn.

Granny, you shouldn't be here on the winter solstice.

You should go down with me later...

I smell it for certain.

Is it there?

Please hurry.

W... what is that?

- What is that? - A water demon!

A water demon!

What?

How long was I here?

Oh, no. I'll get a lecture from Gyeonju Daek again.

I should be going, granny.

Wait, it is not time yet.

I have a long way to go.

You should come down soon, granny.

- W, wait, hold... - Come down soon!

Wait, no, no, no, no!

Is it there?

Blast it.

She is making it difficult.

I cannot let her meet Ho Ryeong.

Ho Ryeong?

I am Ho Ryeong, Inwang Mountain's guardian spirit.

I rule over this land.

Be gone from this mountain!

Foolish mistake.

Long time no see, Ho Ryeong.

Long time no see, Sam Shin.

Wait.

It is not time yet.

Are you asking me to let Ma Wang go?

Ma Wang will not die.

He is only trapped in that body.

Once that man dies, Ma Wang will be released and free.

Sam Shin...

We must expel Ma Wang from that man's body

and seal him in an eternal bowl.

An eternal bowl?

That child will make it.

Do you truly believe that a defenseless girl can make the bowl that will seal Ma Wang?

When the time comes, she will make it.

She is the child of destiny.

We must protect those two until then.

However, my powers only reach this mountain and the palace.

I cannot guarantee it.

To protect the humans is to protect the mountain.

When Ma Wang awakens,

blood will be shed again.

Om ahum sabaha.

Om ahum sabaha.

Om ahum sabaha.

I was walking just now.

Where am I?

Why am I here?

Ow... my head.

Help me!

Hey, get off...

What?

Hello?

S... sir?

Sir!

Sir!

Wait, where did those palanquin carriers go?

Sir! Sir!

Sir! Open your eyes, Sir!

Sir, get up!

I have never in my life been so benevolent.

I cannot do this for nothing in return.

Hello?

Madam Seosan Daek?

Help me!

Have they all gone to find firewood for the winter?

This is where they make paint...

It may smell quite pungent,

but it cannot be helped.

Hold on.

The room is too cold.

Wait right here, Sir.

I've got it!

What should I do?

If I don't finish the painting by tonight,

the headmaster will have a fit.

Oh, well. Whatever.

Let me save him first.
