-
Won't be much in the way
of music for now.
-
Store the instruments and
keep your heads down.
-
Alright? Get out.
-
Sir.
-
I can't figure it out.
The Queen's behind all this?
-
Watch that mouth of yours.
-
Oh, so you think it's the consort?
-
When did I say that?
-
If not the Queen, it's gotta be the consort.
-
Hush. Hush up.
-
We gotta keep our heads down,
see, wa-a-ay down.
-
My head's down AND
I'm whispering, see?
-
Wha..?
-
Anyway, whoever's behind it,
this isn't going to end well.
-
I worry for the King.
-
His mother in a coma and
trouble in the court.
-
It must be so hard on him.
-
Why do you think the doctor testified that
he was working under your orders?
-
Surely you don't believe him?
-
No, of course not, but we've got
to find out why he would say it.
-
It's as I told you. I received
an anonymous letter.
-
That led me to assign inspectors to conduct
a discreet investigation.
-
The only thing I'm guilty of is failing
to tell you for fear it would upset you.
-
My lord, why would I harm
the Queen Mother?
-
It's clearly a set-up.
-
I think so, too. But is there anything else?
-
You've told me everything?
-
Yes, my lord, everything.
-
What reason could I possibly
have for lying?
-
My lord, you know as well as I
how many times I've been slandered.
-
Yet the inspectors found
circumstantial evidence-..
-
And you must believe them, of course,
don't you think so?
-
I've always appeared composed,
even when my heart is torn asunder.
-
And now to be accused of
hurting the Queen Mother?
-
When, oh, when will the slander stop?
-
Get me Chief Seo.
-
Sire.
-
I've decided not to believe
the Queen or my consort.
-
We must uncover which of them is lying.
-
I've got to know,
however awful the truth may be.
-
Sire.
-
I'm placing you in charge
of the investigation.
-
Time is short. We can't let
this get out of hand.
-
Yes, Sire.
-
So the King ordered Chief Seo
to investigate?
-
That won't do. We should-
-
Do nothing.
-
Seo's investigation plays into our hands.
-
How so? Suppose he learns the truth?
-
That can't happen. Relax.
-
Can you be sure? It could be the end
of you and the Royal Consort.
-
I've prepared for everything,
so why get all worked up?
-
Relax, Minister.
You'll live longer that way.
