-
Well? Arrest her.
-
Sir.
-
Arrest the consort.
-
Well? You have your orders.
-
- You men--!
- They won't move.
-
They're here under my orders..
-
to arrest you.
-
What?
-
Well? Take them!
-
My lady!
-
Unhand me! Arrest ME?
Who do you think you are?
-
Let go! You'll be sorry!
-
It's HER, not me! The Queen used her seal
to order Dong Yi's arrest.
-
The Royal Seal? This seal, you mean?
-
Your Grace.
-
Privy counsel, what..?
-
Per your advice..
-
The Queen used her seal to arrest the one guilty
of plotting against the prince.
-
And the guilty party, Jang Muyul..
-
is you.
-
What? The Queen ordered ME arrested?
-
It can't be, it can't..!
-
That's not her seal. It can't be.
-
She'd never order that.
-
It's a lie! A fake!
-
No.
-
Your Highness.
-
It was my order.
And my Royal Seal.
-
Your Highness.
-
Your Highness, how could you?
How could you, to me..?
-
Obey your Queen.
-
Your Highness.
-
You heard me.
-
Sir.
-
The Queen arrested Field Marshal Jang? But why?
-
It doesn't make sense.
-
We're looking into it now, sir.
-
You can bet that crafty Dong Yi's involved.
-
Unhand me. Do you know who I am?
-
How could this happen?
-
How did you do it? How did you trick
the Queen into joining you?
-
Why ask me? You're the experts on tricks.
-
Do you recall my telling you not everyone sees
the world the way you do?
-
Taking what you want, without hesitation,
in the name of politics and power.
-
No, Muyul, true politics punish those
who behave that way.
-
In the name of politics? Again no.
-
True politics require
the greatest sincerity.
-
Now you see the real use of power.
-
You think you have anything on me?
-
Where's your proof? Do you have even one
shred of evidence?
-
You're dead, do you hear me?
-
YOU plotted against the Crown Prince.
-
Do you imagine I don't know
what you were planning?
-
Still?
-
Your Highness.
-
The Field Marshal?
-
Dumbfounded, more than anything.
-
Yes, he would be,
he never saw this coming.
-
Neither did I, actually,
until you told me of the King's plans.
-
Up to that moment, I trusted the marshal without question.
-
Your Highness.
-
It was a close thing, all the same.
-
Actually, your decree put me
in a state of panic.
-
Your Highness
-
Consort Choi to see you.
-
If I may ask just one question.
-
Did you order my immediate departure
at Jang Muyul's suggestion?
-
You still believe I'm plotting
against the Crown Prince?
-
Your Highness, last night I tried to tell you
something, remember?
-
The King.. is abdicating the throne.
-
He's doing so to ensure the safety
of both princes.
-
What? Abdicating?
-
Jang Muyul knows, Your Highness.
-
What he truly fears isn't some imaginary plot
against the Crown Prince.
-
It's the very real probability that
Yuning will be a threat to him.
-
Consort Choi.
-
Listen here..
-
If Muyul did suggest I leave,
he'll have a reason.
-
In which case we can use my departure
to learn what it is.
-
Until then, can't you find it in your heart
to consider that I may be telling the truth?
-
Please, Your Highness,
if I could just give us some time?
-
Given time we can find out
what the marshal's really up to.
-
Give this to Her Grace.
-
My lady.
-
The Inspector General's report.
-
The Crown Prince's original route took him
through Kyodong and Tapdong.
-
What?
-
However, last night the route
was changed.
-
Now it mirrors the road
I was to take to Ihyun Palace.
-
The Field Marshal will use the new route.
That's his secret plan.
-
Please trust me, Your Highness.
-
Your Highness, you can't let them escape.
-
Me?
-
Yes, use the Royal Seal to have Dong Yi
and her conspirators arrested.
-
The seal?
-
Yes. In the Crown Prince's absence your seal acts
as a royal command.
-
Arrest them for attempted assassination
before they can escape.
-
Your Highness.
-
Your Highness.
-
Your Highness, your orders? The privy counsel is
waiting for your Royal Seal.
-
Your Highness, you can't let them escape.
-
The Field Marshal will use the new route.
That's his secret plan.
-
Please trust me, Your Highness.
-
Whom to trust? Who?
-
I'm still not sure why I chose you.
-
Why I had the marshal arrested
and not you.
-
It was ridiculous to imagine you would want
to protect the Crown Prince.
-
Yet, somehow, I sensed your sincerity.
-
You weren't lying.
-
Your Highness.
-
So now you must give me proof that
what seems so ridiculous is actually true.
-
Yes, I will.
-
I will honor the faith you put in me.
