Aww...
4
00:00:27,909 --> 00:00:29,300
Take this.
5
00:00:29,965 --> 00:00:35,275
Cheon, these fellows here
are from Hanyang, you know?
6
00:00:37,316 --> 00:00:40,192
Can you... Can you hear me?
7
00:00:40,312 --> 00:00:43,898
Get up, will you?
How long have you been there?
8
00:00:57,889 --> 00:00:59,529
Who are you?
9
00:01:00,456 --> 00:01:02,683
I thought I told you
not to allow anyone in?
10
00:01:02,803 --> 00:01:04,998
I am Kim Hyeongdo of the
Office of Inspector-General.
11
00:01:05,118 --> 00:01:07,906
We were led here by talebearing
regarding a particularly odd patient...
12
00:01:10,303 --> 00:01:11,555
I am Park Daesu
of the Royal Dispensary.
13
00:01:11,675 --> 00:01:13,701
And what could a Royal Dispensary
officer be doing here...
14
00:01:13,821 --> 00:01:16,283
After taking a glance at him,
you still can't imagine why?
15
00:01:16,654 --> 00:01:18,170
What kind of ailment is this?
16
00:01:18,290 --> 00:01:21,123
Would it have come to this,
if I could describe its nature?
17
00:01:21,243 --> 00:01:23,887
As it could spread to anyone
making contact with him,
18
00:01:24,007 --> 00:01:25,959
I suggest you leave.
19
00:01:30,135 --> 00:01:32,650
At the very best, he will
only have about a month to live.
20
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:36,485
When he perishes, an autopsy
may finally answer our questions.
21
00:01:36,605 --> 00:01:38,588
It's a curse!
22
00:01:39,114 --> 00:01:45,176
My death was planned
from the very beginning!
23
00:01:45,296 --> 00:01:47,774
They might...
24
00:01:47,894 --> 00:01:51,319
be plotting to get rid of us all.
25
00:01:51,439 --> 00:01:58,834
Covet that, and its heinous
curse will be upon you!

JOSEON X-FILES: Secret Book
- Episode 3: The Curse of Shilla's Gold -
28
00:02:12,429 --> 00:02:14,285
Aigoo! There she is.
29
00:02:17,022 --> 00:02:18,507
So have you seen that man?
30
00:02:18,627 --> 00:02:20,894
A Royal Dispensary officer
was all too eager to see us out,
31
00:02:21,014 --> 00:02:22,827
so I could not see much.
32
00:02:22,947 --> 00:02:24,652
But what on earth happened to him?
33
00:02:24,772 --> 00:02:26,523
We still don't know any details,
34
00:02:26,643 --> 00:02:29,260
but there might be
a connection with this.
35
00:02:32,661 --> 00:02:35,831
It's a local record of all the
bizarre occurrences over the years.
36
00:02:38,166 --> 00:02:40,578
It's all about odd births.
37
00:02:40,698 --> 00:02:41,672
Odd births?!
38
00:02:41,792 --> 00:02:43,079
Be it livestock or humans,
39
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:45,322
this region has seen its share
of peculiar births over the years.
40
00:02:45,442 --> 00:02:48,028
Then, are you suggesting
that he was born that way?
41
00:02:48,148 --> 00:02:51,727
No, he's only been suffering
from that as of late.
42
00:02:51,847 --> 00:02:53,629
By "as of late," you mean...
43
00:02:53,749 --> 00:02:56,514
Right after that curse made its mark.
44
00:02:58,249 --> 00:02:59,904
Ahh, I apologize...
45
00:03:00,024 --> 00:03:02,956
Water...
Can I have some water?
46
00:03:06,615 --> 00:03:09,275
- Curse, you said?
- Yes, curse.
47
00:03:09,395 --> 00:03:11,409
That's what this record suggests.
48
00:03:11,718 --> 00:03:14,254
So what on earth
are we talking about here?
49
00:03:14,374 --> 00:03:18,723
Recently, a thousand-geun* gold
bullion was discovered in the area.
50
00:03:14,374 --> 00:03:18,723
{\a6}*1 geun = approx. 222 grams
51
00:03:18,843 --> 00:03:22,245
The first to discover the gold
was exactly that man in the cave.
52
00:03:22,365 --> 00:03:24,735
Seemingly,
53
00:03:24,855 --> 00:03:29,280
that man named Cheon Seokbeom
had a bizarre dream one night,
54
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,634
directing him to where
the bullion had been buried.
55
00:03:34,461 --> 00:03:38,722
Not only Cheon, all the petty officials
who came into contact with the gold...
56
00:03:38,842 --> 00:03:42,165
have been manifesting
strange reactions ever since.
57
00:03:42,285 --> 00:03:47,345
So all those officials are in the
same condition as Cheon Seokbeom?
58
00:03:47,465 --> 00:03:48,660
That's what is even stranger,
59
00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:52,886
as Cheon was the only one
to be so severely affected.
60
00:03:54,136 --> 00:03:58,265
It's a curse! I was cursed...
61
00:03:58,385 --> 00:03:59,885
Despite discovering that gold,
62
00:04:00,005 --> 00:04:02,669
Cheon only alerted the authorities
two months after the fact.
63
00:04:02,789 --> 00:04:04,694
He clearly attempted to
appropriate the gold,
64
00:04:04,814 --> 00:04:08,193
but when he discovered its effects on him,
that's when he reported it.
65
00:04:08,313 --> 00:04:11,626
By then, his face was already
starting to be ravaged.
66
00:04:11,746 --> 00:04:16,002
So the gold was responsible
for doing that to him?
67
00:04:16,122 --> 00:04:18,395
That is for us to discover.
68
00:04:18,515 --> 00:04:21,890
By now, the gold would have
reached the capital.
69
00:04:22,010 --> 00:04:23,282
After passing through
the Board of Taxation,
70
00:04:23,402 --> 00:04:26,572
it will probably be pledged
to His Majesty as a tribute.
71
00:04:27,896 --> 00:04:29,890
There is somewhere we need to go.
72
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,867
Up there where
you see those stakes,
73
00:05:28,987 --> 00:05:31,554
that's where the gold was found.
74
00:05:33,464 --> 00:05:35,691
Are you perchance seeing
ghosts, Magistrate Jang?
75
00:05:35,811 --> 00:05:37,423
I sure am.
76
00:05:37,543 --> 00:05:40,357
Two on the left,
and another two on the other side.
77
00:05:40,477 --> 00:05:44,564
- What are they doing there?
- Enough with that palaver, will you?
78
00:05:44,684 --> 00:05:46,775
Aigoo...
Where do you think you're going?
79
00:05:46,895 --> 00:05:49,849
Should I not verify what is there?
80
00:05:49,969 --> 00:05:51,271
But, wait!
81
00:05:51,936 --> 00:05:53,297
Ehh... You as well?
82
00:05:53,417 --> 00:05:54,906
It would be wiser to remain here.
83
00:05:55,026 --> 00:05:56,359
No need to worry.
84
00:05:56,479 --> 00:05:57,581
Take a look.
85
00:05:57,701 --> 00:05:58,812
It's not even a beach,
86
00:05:58,932 --> 00:06:00,699
but the entire place
is surrounded by sand alone.
87
00:06:00,819 --> 00:06:02,539
I suggest you observe it from here.
88
00:06:02,659 --> 00:06:05,153
Ahh... really, you people...
89
00:06:05,273 --> 00:06:07,117
So why take us here
in the first place?
90
00:06:07,237 --> 00:06:09,870
Didn't she just tell you
that the gold was cursed?
91
00:06:09,990 --> 00:06:12,066
What, cursed?!
92
00:06:12,468 --> 00:06:15,298
Sure, then, let's suppose a
curse inhabits those premises.
93
00:06:15,418 --> 00:06:16,953
Now that the gold
has been removed from there,
94
00:06:17,073 --> 00:06:18,839
wouldn't it be like
getting rid of a rotten tooth?
95
00:06:18,959 --> 00:06:21,076
The curse's ominous energy
might still be haunting that place.
96
00:06:21,196 --> 00:06:23,055
Wouldn't that be all the better?
97
00:06:23,175 --> 00:06:27,138
We had no way of knowing
the true nature of that curse,
98
00:06:27,258 --> 00:06:29,655
but now I shall take the opportunity...
99
00:06:29,775 --> 00:06:33,011
to experience that energy firsthand.
100
00:06:33,131 --> 00:06:35,145
You only say that because you
don't know what you're dealing with.
101
00:06:35,265 --> 00:06:36,753
That is...
102
00:06:53,843 --> 00:06:55,915
There's no convincing him...
103
00:06:56,035 --> 00:07:00,040
You've finally realized that?
104
00:07:46,252 --> 00:07:48,850
And you call this a curse?
105
00:07:58,630 --> 00:08:00,083
Naeuri!!
106
00:08:34,833 --> 00:08:37,833
So... What happened?
107
00:08:38,483 --> 00:08:41,869
You lost your senses there.
108
00:08:44,779 --> 00:08:47,253
What did you feel?
109
00:08:48,536 --> 00:08:49,712
What are you referring to?
110
00:08:49,832 --> 00:08:52,959
About that energy
which assaulted you.
111
00:08:55,362 --> 00:08:57,187
What can I say...
112
00:08:58,022 --> 00:09:01,176
I really can't explain,
113
00:09:01,296 --> 00:09:05,254
but it suddenly felt as if
something was possessing me...
114
00:09:05,374 --> 00:09:06,754
Enough.
115
00:09:06,874 --> 00:09:08,734
No need to make it up.
116
00:09:10,141 --> 00:09:14,162
Have you always been so stubborn?
117
00:09:19,027 --> 00:09:21,780
You're lucky it was only this much.
118
00:09:22,708 --> 00:09:24,934
I'll get going, then.
119
00:09:26,866 --> 00:09:28,569
Where are you going?
120
00:09:31,691 --> 00:09:33,903
Cheon Seokbeom...
121
00:09:36,176 --> 00:09:38,403
has perished.
122
00:09:38,523 --> 00:09:41,263
That Dispensary officer is
doing an autopsy on his body.
123
00:09:45,191 --> 00:09:48,062
All his blood has putrefied,
124
00:09:48,182 --> 00:09:50,922
clogged and stiff
like fresh animal blood,
125
00:09:51,042 --> 00:09:54,603
while all his major organs
were in a state of decay.
126
00:09:55,747 --> 00:09:58,683
I have never witnessed
such a heinous ailment before.
127
00:09:58,803 --> 00:10:00,399
What could the causes be?
128
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:02,100
I wonder...
129
00:10:02,220 --> 00:10:05,441
From cholera to cancer,
I witnessed every ailment known to man,
130
00:10:05,561 --> 00:10:07,934
but I still haven't figured out
what could be behind this.
131
00:10:08,054 --> 00:10:09,929
Then,
132
00:10:11,027 --> 00:10:12,635
if it's truly an inexplicable death,
133
00:10:12,755 --> 00:10:15,233
I suppose a curse might be plausible.
134
00:10:17,352 --> 00:10:19,497
Still, isn't it peculiar?
135
00:10:20,038 --> 00:10:23,920
I never really got the feeling
it would be such a swift demise.
136
00:10:25,126 --> 00:10:26,286
Excuse me?
137
00:10:26,688 --> 00:10:29,497
It's nothing,
I was merely postulating.
138
00:10:29,617 --> 00:10:30,548
Naeuri!
139
00:10:32,064 --> 00:10:33,471
Ahh... So did you find out?
140
00:10:33,591 --> 00:10:37,522
Yes. The gold was moved to
Hanyang over a month past.
141
00:10:37,642 --> 00:10:39,498
Were the officers responsible for
the transfer alerted of its dangers?
142
00:10:39,618 --> 00:10:44,013
Yes... Seems that the local magistrate
cautioned them personally.
143
00:10:44,133 --> 00:10:48,536
But then it turns out they just carried it
to Hanyang without taking any precaution.
144
00:10:48,656 --> 00:10:49,927
Then, this is serious.
145
00:10:50,047 --> 00:10:53,732
Also, seems like a local petty
official joined the retinue.
146
00:10:53,852 --> 00:10:54,659
That's a relief.
147
00:10:54,779 --> 00:10:56,175
But...
148
00:10:56,295 --> 00:10:59,299
He still has not made his return?!
149
00:10:59,419 --> 00:11:00,799
Say what?
150
00:11:01,711 --> 00:11:04,681
He's called Bang Junseok
or something...
151
00:11:04,801 --> 00:11:08,694
He probably was the closest to
that gold, save for Cheon Seokbeom?!
152
00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:39,067
- Board of Taxation -
153
00:12:00,738 --> 00:12:03,742
Considering their peculiar symptoms,
we are treating them in secret for now.
154
00:12:03,862 --> 00:12:07,484
We did manage to avoid inquiring eyes
by discreetly moving the gold,
155
00:12:07,604 --> 00:12:11,520
but the real issue is how to
explain the situation to His Majesty.
156
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,762
Has His Majesty shown
interest in this case?
157
00:12:14,882 --> 00:12:17,979
Gold from a thousand years past
was discovered, so it's inevitable.
158
00:12:18,099 --> 00:12:19,742
A thousand years, you said?
159
00:12:19,862 --> 00:12:24,005
We speculate the carvings on the gold
might date back to the Shilla dynasty.
160
00:12:24,125 --> 00:12:27,531
Historians from the Office of
Special Counselors have been summoned,
161
00:12:27,651 --> 00:12:30,206
and are currently researching
the origin of such drawings.
162
00:12:37,453 --> 00:12:41,490
By any chance, would you
allow us a look at that gold?
163
00:13:17,991 --> 00:13:20,806
A sizable lot, all right.
164
00:13:20,926 --> 00:13:23,419
These drawings are peculiar.
165
00:13:24,007 --> 00:13:25,289
Indeed.
166
00:13:25,409 --> 00:13:28,336
What could they all be looking at?
167
00:13:28,456 --> 00:13:30,655
I can't say.
168
00:13:30,775 --> 00:13:34,506
But where is the piece
that should go there?
169
00:13:41,165 --> 00:13:43,237
Where is the missing fragment?
170
00:13:43,357 --> 00:13:44,861
We were curious as well.
171
00:13:44,981 --> 00:13:46,172
So it wasn't there from the beginning?
172
00:13:46,292 --> 00:13:49,218
There were no particular setbacks
while transporting the gold.
173
00:13:49,338 --> 00:13:52,218
They merely transferred the entire box.
174
00:13:52,338 --> 00:13:55,590
- Then...
- It is likely...
175
00:13:55,710 --> 00:13:59,657
that the local officer who joined
the retinue might be behind this.
176
00:14:00,059 --> 00:14:03,105
Then, perchance, did he suffer from...
177
00:14:03,225 --> 00:14:05,869
His condition was much worse
than anyone else,
178
00:14:05,989 --> 00:14:07,864
ghastly pallor included.
179
00:14:07,984 --> 00:14:10,539
He remained with the gold
for the entire trip.
180
00:14:10,659 --> 00:14:12,797
Naeuri, have a look at this.
181
00:14:19,674 --> 00:14:21,244
And this...
182
00:14:26,173 --> 00:14:27,751
Naeuri!
183
00:14:34,090 --> 00:14:36,970
Naeuri! Is everything all right?
184
00:14:37,090 --> 00:14:39,214
It's all right now.
185
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,555
It would be wiser to see a physician.
186
00:14:42,675 --> 00:14:45,008
First, I need to find that man.
187
00:14:45,128 --> 00:14:47,049
You're in no position to worry about that,
first take care of yourself!
188
00:14:47,169 --> 00:14:50,992
We have no time to squander.
I have something in mind.
189
00:14:51,112 --> 00:14:52,307
No.
190
00:14:52,427 --> 00:14:54,409
No matter what you might have
found out, you can't go now.
191
00:14:54,529 --> 00:14:57,888
The energy from the gold
might already have contaminated you.
192
00:14:58,008 --> 00:14:59,868
What energy?!
193
00:14:59,988 --> 00:15:03,393
I told you I have something in mind.
194
00:15:03,513 --> 00:15:04,785
- Magistrate Jang.
- Yes.
195
00:15:04,905 --> 00:15:08,107
You take care of finding
that missing fragment.
196
00:15:08,227 --> 00:15:10,338
Aigoo... Listen to what she says.
197
00:15:10,458 --> 00:15:14,297
Don't they always say that nobody
ever died listening to a woman...
198
00:15:14,417 --> 00:15:15,618
Was it that?
199
00:15:17,179 --> 00:15:18,618
All right.
200
00:15:20,752 --> 00:15:23,643
Shall we also let go of this hand?!
201
00:15:27,006 --> 00:15:31,599
Then, I'll go look for that
Officer Bang or something...
202
00:15:37,976 --> 00:15:43,202
Cross a river of no return,
and you'll only be walking towards demise.
203
00:15:43,322 --> 00:15:45,878
Don't try to always
solve everything on your own.
204
00:15:45,998 --> 00:15:47,728
Because all that it can imply...
205
00:15:47,848 --> 00:15:53,589
is that you have no confidence
in the people around you.
206
00:15:57,687 --> 00:15:58,912
All right.
207
00:15:59,438 --> 00:16:00,365
Yes.
208
00:16:00,485 --> 00:16:03,103
That gold is a thousand years old,
from the Shilla dynasty.
209
00:16:03,223 --> 00:16:04,804
Don't those carvings prove it all?
210
00:16:04,924 --> 00:16:07,983
Aren't those people staring at the sky?
211
00:16:08,103 --> 00:16:10,643
You fail to believe me even after
being presented with clear evidence...
212
00:16:10,763 --> 00:16:12,390
Wake up!
213
00:16:12,510 --> 00:16:14,988
Keep it up with
those vagaries of yours!
214
00:16:15,653 --> 00:16:19,536
Listen!
I will prove it once and for all!
215
00:16:36,013 --> 00:16:38,505
Wait, wait a moment.
216
00:16:38,625 --> 00:16:43,534
Didn't you say remaining with the gold
for so long altered his semblances?
217
00:16:43,654 --> 00:16:48,065
Then, by now we'd probably be
staring at something like Cheon Seokbeom.
218
00:16:53,524 --> 00:16:55,735
Like this, uh?
219
00:17:03,403 --> 00:17:04,934
And this.
220
00:17:05,054 --> 00:17:07,393
What's this again?
221
00:17:10,888 --> 00:17:13,207
That's disgusting...
222
00:17:13,655 --> 00:17:16,288
It's the end of the world, all right.
223
00:17:28,847 --> 00:17:31,507
Will this tea help quell my stupor?
224
00:17:31,627 --> 00:17:36,092
Not to mention cleanse away
anything beclouding your mind.
225
00:17:40,762 --> 00:17:46,067
I get the feeling you might
already be aware of all this.
226
00:17:46,995 --> 00:17:48,093
What?
227
00:17:48,882 --> 00:17:50,942
Even before the administration
officials alerted us,
228
00:17:51,062 --> 00:17:56,923
you already were well aware of
where that gold had been buried.
229
00:17:57,043 --> 00:18:01,478
The evidence was clear enough
not to need any help from them.
230
00:18:01,598 --> 00:18:07,741
And everything we feed ourselves with
was borne out of the same soil.
231
00:18:07,861 --> 00:18:13,213
If it's something that can
bring harm to both man and beast,
232
00:18:13,333 --> 00:18:16,662
going straight for the source
would show you the way.
233
00:18:16,782 --> 00:18:20,451
I wonder how one could be so blessed
with notions she still clearly recalls,
234
00:18:20,571 --> 00:18:25,195
while at the same time
claiming ignorance of her past.
235
00:18:31,566 --> 00:18:33,769
I wonder as well.
236
00:18:33,889 --> 00:18:36,042
They just...
237
00:18:37,573 --> 00:18:40,377
spring to mind out of nowhere.
238
00:20:09,451 --> 00:20:11,307
What is the matter?
239
00:20:32,058 --> 00:20:34,161
The hell is going on?
240
00:20:34,281 --> 00:20:35,723
Are you all right?
241
00:20:38,723 --> 00:20:42,054
I feel light as a feather,
so let us go.
242
00:20:42,174 --> 00:20:45,997
You barely got the chance to rest,
where are you going already?
243
00:20:46,117 --> 00:20:48,131
I thought I'd pay a visit to
the Office of Special Counselors.
244
00:20:48,251 --> 00:20:49,539
Why there?
245
00:20:49,659 --> 00:20:53,200
Didn't they say historians are
researching the origins of that gold?
246
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,597
And since they surely have
a rubbed copy of the carvings,
247
00:20:55,717 --> 00:20:59,308
if we go there, wouldn't
that help our investigation?
248
00:21:02,747 --> 00:21:06,644
Who told you they
might have a rubbed copy?
249
00:21:08,469 --> 00:21:11,024
Actually, I have quite
an acute sense of smell.
250
00:21:11,144 --> 00:21:15,493
I could smell their handiwork
on that gold a mile away.
251
00:21:18,756 --> 00:21:19,869
- Office of Special Counselors -
252
00:21:19,989 --> 00:21:21,307
What brings you here?
253
00:21:21,427 --> 00:21:22,929
Vice Counselor Choi, by any chance?
254
00:21:23,049 --> 00:21:24,352
That would be right.
255
00:21:24,472 --> 00:21:26,378
Have a seat.
256
00:21:28,682 --> 00:21:33,134
I was told you're researching the gold
recently brought to the Board of Taxation.
257
00:21:33,254 --> 00:21:34,757
That's right.
258
00:21:34,877 --> 00:21:38,299
I found some peculiarities I
hoped you could bring to light for me.
259
00:21:38,419 --> 00:21:42,489
Did your research reveal
anything of note, by any chance?
260
00:21:42,609 --> 00:21:45,031
And if I told you,
261
00:21:45,151 --> 00:21:47,367
would you believe me?
262
00:21:47,861 --> 00:21:49,330
What?
263
00:21:49,995 --> 00:21:50,892
Never you mind.
264
00:21:51,012 --> 00:21:54,630
Naeuri.
Regarding those carvings...
265
00:21:54,750 --> 00:21:58,743
I wonder what the people in
those drawings could be staring at.
266
00:21:58,863 --> 00:22:01,048
A look at that gold
should give you the answer?!
267
00:22:01,168 --> 00:22:02,146
What I was trying to say...
268
00:22:02,266 --> 00:22:04,994
Are they not all looking at the sky?
269
00:22:05,114 --> 00:22:06,061
That's obviously the case.
270
00:22:06,181 --> 00:22:10,236
But what I'm really curious about...
271
00:22:10,356 --> 00:22:12,649
is the reason behind those carvings.
272
00:22:12,769 --> 00:22:15,444
That gold has lain dormant
under the sand for a millennium.
273
00:22:15,564 --> 00:22:19,867
No historical documents at our disposal
could ever suffice to explain that,
274
00:22:19,987 --> 00:22:24,258
and even if we could indeed continue
our research, it would still be fruitless.
275
00:22:24,378 --> 00:22:26,545
Without the missing fragment,
276
00:22:26,665 --> 00:22:31,633
we could not even formulate a theory
on what those carvings represent.
277
00:22:32,391 --> 00:22:34,123
I suggest you leave.
278
00:22:34,243 --> 00:22:37,953
I have little time
for such hollow chatter.
279
00:22:38,073 --> 00:22:39,422
What?
280
00:22:41,679 --> 00:22:44,190
If you'll excuse me.
281
00:22:51,152 --> 00:22:56,125
Perchance, do you often
come into contact with that gold?
282
00:22:57,145 --> 00:22:59,063
It's merely exhaustion from
spending too many sleepless nights,
283
00:22:59,183 --> 00:23:01,710
so you may leave.
284
00:23:02,096 --> 00:23:04,926
You are only hampering my research.
285
00:23:07,910 --> 00:23:10,462
- Where is he?
- That way.
286
00:23:07,910 --> 00:23:10,462
{\a6}- Public Sanitarium -
287
00:23:15,982 --> 00:23:17,448
Everyone, out!
288
00:23:24,281 --> 00:23:25,425
All right.
289
00:23:25,545 --> 00:23:27,157
I will handle him firsthand.
290
00:23:27,277 --> 00:23:29,848
But... Naeuri!
291
00:23:47,916 --> 00:23:52,323
Why is the Office investigating
a mere golden bullion?
292
00:23:52,443 --> 00:23:55,547
I have yet to tell you, have I?
293
00:23:55,667 --> 00:24:00,372
Talebearing suggests that
ominous energy pervades that gold,
294
00:24:00,492 --> 00:24:03,294
not to mention that anyone
coming into contact with it...
295
00:24:03,414 --> 00:24:07,824
manifests peculiar ailments afterwards.
296
00:24:08,233 --> 00:24:10,027
I knew it...
297
00:24:10,147 --> 00:24:12,749
Excuse me?
298
00:24:12,869 --> 00:24:15,764
It's nothing.
You may leave.
299
00:24:47,274 --> 00:24:48,369
Your Excellency.
300
00:24:48,489 --> 00:24:49,900
Ohh... Physician Park.
301
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,874
How is his condition?
302
00:24:53,994 --> 00:24:55,513
He's on the verge of demise.
303
00:24:55,633 --> 00:24:57,663
He is now too weak
to be self-sufficient.
304
00:24:58,498 --> 00:25:00,810
With him coming here
of his own volition,
305
00:25:00,930 --> 00:25:03,006
seems like I shouldn't have squandered
your time sending you on his trail.
306
00:25:03,126 --> 00:25:05,696
No, don't say that.
307
00:25:06,980 --> 00:25:08,622
Naeuri.
308
00:25:26,242 --> 00:25:27,681
Good, I laud your efforts.
309
00:25:27,801 --> 00:25:30,406
Don't mention it.
If it can only help you...
310
00:25:30,526 --> 00:25:34,256
Sure, I shall never forget
your meritorious service.
311
00:25:36,406 --> 00:25:37,689
But,
312
00:25:38,803 --> 00:25:42,656
meseems those people might
have gotten a hold of this all.
313
00:25:46,336 --> 00:25:48,872
Ohh... Naeuri...
Was just about to tell you...
314
00:25:48,992 --> 00:25:51,455
That Bang Junseok is at the
Public Sanitarium at the moment.
315
00:25:51,575 --> 00:25:52,707
Did you find the missing fragment?
316
00:25:52,827 --> 00:25:55,676
Uh? He didn't have it?!
317
00:25:55,796 --> 00:25:57,666
Have you at least asked him?
318
00:25:57,786 --> 00:26:03,403
Ohh... Him? He's barely breathing
in there, how could I ask him?!
319
00:26:47,462 --> 00:26:49,116
Bang Junseok.
320
00:26:49,236 --> 00:26:51,436
I know you have it!
321
00:26:51,556 --> 00:26:53,895
Where is the missing fragment?
322
00:26:54,015 --> 00:26:56,663
Tell me, where is it?
Hurry up and tell me!
323
00:26:56,783 --> 00:27:00,223
- The... g...g...old...
- Speak clearly, will you?
324
00:27:00,343 --> 00:27:02,914
Who has that missing fragment?
325
00:27:03,888 --> 00:27:06,988
The... The... phys...
326
00:28:21,380 --> 00:28:25,470
Speak clearly, will you?
Who has that missing fragment?
327
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:26,977
Look.
328
00:28:27,097 --> 00:28:28,755
Move out of the way!
329
00:28:35,605 --> 00:28:37,152
This won't do.
330
00:28:41,142 --> 00:28:43,724
Hold him for me,
his life is at stake!
331
00:28:45,347 --> 00:28:46,909
Stay put!
332
00:29:23,237 --> 00:29:25,727
Seems like Park Daesu
had told them to alert him...
333
00:29:25,847 --> 00:29:28,456
if they found anyone with such ailments.
334
00:29:36,636 --> 00:29:38,733
What could have led him to abandon
a patient on the verge of death...
335
00:29:38,853 --> 00:29:41,538
just to visit the
Office of Special Counselors?
336
00:29:42,188 --> 00:29:43,100
What?
337
00:29:44,229 --> 00:29:46,777
On our way out from
meeting the Vice Counselor,
338
00:29:46,897 --> 00:29:51,015
I noticed Physician Park
was entering the Office.
339
00:29:52,205 --> 00:29:55,437
Even if he thought there
was no hope for Bang Junseok,
340
00:29:55,557 --> 00:29:58,635
why would he need to
visit the Office at that time?
341
00:29:59,346 --> 00:30:01,774
Park Daesu was present when...
342
00:30:01,894 --> 00:30:04,047
Cheon Seokbeom
and Bang Junseok perished.
343
00:30:04,167 --> 00:30:07,883
So you're suggesting he's
responsible for Bang's death?
344
00:30:08,003 --> 00:30:10,930
If that's indeed the case,
345
00:30:11,050 --> 00:30:13,327
it can only mean he killed him
right under our watch,
346
00:30:13,447 --> 00:30:18,419
by using poisonous needles
to elude our attention.
347
00:30:18,539 --> 00:30:21,497
That kind of poison can
only be noticed after a day,
348
00:30:21,617 --> 00:30:24,497
so by the morrow
we'll be able to find out.
349
00:30:24,617 --> 00:30:28,007
So you think Park might
have the missing fragment?
350
00:30:28,127 --> 00:30:29,580
Or else...
351
00:30:33,105 --> 00:30:35,927
Vice Counselor Choi could.
352
00:30:39,566 --> 00:30:41,453
Ohh... It's you.
353
00:30:42,752 --> 00:30:44,453
You don't look too well.
354
00:30:44,573 --> 00:30:46,958
- No, it's nothing.
- Have a seat.
355
00:30:47,078 --> 00:30:48,968
We have plenty to discuss.
356
00:30:49,494 --> 00:30:53,039
So you wanted to find out
where that ailment might come from?
357
00:30:53,159 --> 00:30:53,905
Yes.
358
00:30:54,369 --> 00:30:57,384
There was an instance of a local magistrate
suffering from inexplicable fits...
359
00:30:57,504 --> 00:31:01,269
of headache, nausea and hemorrhage
after dealing with similar material.
360
00:31:01,389 --> 00:31:04,532
That's right.
It's all related.
361
00:31:05,135 --> 00:31:09,666
The gold fragment you brought me
is the key to a shocking secret.
362
00:31:11,727 --> 00:31:13,026
What secret are you referring to?
363
00:31:13,146 --> 00:31:15,593
It is not just gold, in truth.
364
00:31:15,713 --> 00:31:18,964
The gold is a mere coat hiding
something completely different.
365
00:31:19,799 --> 00:31:20,977
Then...
366
00:31:24,379 --> 00:31:25,678
Take a look.
367
00:31:31,013 --> 00:31:34,277
- Anything comes to mind?
- I can't say...
368
00:31:34,956 --> 00:31:37,709
A saucer of some kind, maybe?!
369
00:31:37,829 --> 00:31:40,353
It is said such a thing appeared
in the skies, a thousand years past.
370
00:31:40,473 --> 00:31:44,084
People were in tumult because of it.
371
00:31:44,356 --> 00:31:48,253
What we're dealing with
is part of that flying object.
372
00:31:48,373 --> 00:31:49,737
That gold, you mean?
373
00:31:49,857 --> 00:31:52,010
No... Not the gold.
374
00:31:52,130 --> 00:31:54,961
What is concealed
under that golden coating.
375
00:31:55,081 --> 00:31:55,905
Under it?!
376
00:31:56,025 --> 00:31:59,090
If only we could melt that gold,
we would find out what that is.
377
00:31:59,210 --> 00:32:03,266
A look at that, and those varlets
won't be able to keep denying it.
378
00:32:05,154 --> 00:32:06,638
Naeuri...
379
00:32:06,758 --> 00:32:07,953
By "those varlets..."
380
00:32:08,073 --> 00:32:11,200
Everyone treating me
like a deranged buffoon!
381
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,414
That day of a thousand years past,
that object truly appeared.
382
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,479
So even you don't believe me?
383
00:32:21,599 --> 00:32:23,578
I mean...
384
00:32:23,698 --> 00:32:26,687
What is it that appeared in the sky?
385
00:32:26,807 --> 00:32:29,609
That immense lump of light!
386
00:32:29,729 --> 00:32:32,498
Didn't the same thing
appear in Ganseong as of late?
387
00:32:33,426 --> 00:32:35,560
Wasn't that just a mendacious complot?
388
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,621
It was no complot.
389
00:32:38,741 --> 00:32:41,454
It's the truth, nothing but.
390
00:32:48,087 --> 00:32:49,479
Naeuri.
391
00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:50,855
I...
392
00:32:51,319 --> 00:32:53,813
do believe you are right, but...
393
00:32:53,933 --> 00:32:57,834
Why, afraid supporting my claims
will bring forth your demise?
394
00:32:57,954 --> 00:33:00,231
No, I just...
395
00:33:00,351 --> 00:33:02,546
I just feel such absurdities...
396
00:33:03,013 --> 00:33:06,167
Ahh... I...
397
00:33:06,287 --> 00:33:08,364
What did I just hear, "absurdities"?!
398
00:33:08,484 --> 00:33:10,127
Ahh... No, I just...
399
00:33:10,247 --> 00:33:12,508
My ears cannot be lying!
You said "absurdities"!
400
00:33:12,628 --> 00:33:13,780
Forgive me, Naeuri.
401
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:17,862
I spoke in heedless vain,
belittling your benevolence.
402
00:33:18,635 --> 00:33:23,062
Why would commending an illustrious
physician be considered "benevolence"?
403
00:33:23,182 --> 00:33:25,666
Forgive me, Naeuri.
I shall never...
404
00:33:30,690 --> 00:33:33,134
Then again, a man of science
like you would certainly...
405
00:33:33,254 --> 00:33:36,868
be led to believe that.
406
00:33:37,324 --> 00:33:39,025
Don't mind it.
407
00:33:39,145 --> 00:33:41,818
- Just sit.
- No, I'm fine.
408
00:33:43,226 --> 00:33:45,669
That's that.
409
00:33:46,226 --> 00:33:48,097
Did you ask the blacksmith?
410
00:33:48,217 --> 00:33:49,411
Ahh... Yes.
411
00:33:52,248 --> 00:33:53,918
Here it is.
412
00:33:54,038 --> 00:33:55,836
Seems like it's from a reliable source.
413
00:33:55,956 --> 00:33:58,217
Let's see...
414
00:33:59,207 --> 00:34:04,309
But that inspector might be
fomenting suspicions about this.
415
00:34:04,429 --> 00:34:06,841
What are you trying to say?
416
00:34:06,961 --> 00:34:11,067
In haste, I was forced to use
poisonous needles yesterday.
417
00:34:43,629 --> 00:34:44,526
Naeuri...
418
00:34:44,646 --> 00:34:47,480
You two will trail that man.
419
00:34:49,969 --> 00:34:53,850
We shall meet at
Gwangtong Bridge in two hours.
420
00:35:50,670 --> 00:35:52,356
Aigoo... Here you go.
421
00:36:43,409 --> 00:36:47,461
An immense light
falling from the sky...
422
00:36:48,806 --> 00:36:50,816
Immense light?!
423
00:38:00,622 --> 00:38:01,813
There.
424
00:38:01,933 --> 00:38:04,086
I'm sure the missing fragment is there.
425
00:38:04,206 --> 00:38:06,359
You go get the inspector.
426
00:38:06,479 --> 00:38:08,642
I'll remain here.
427
00:38:14,441 --> 00:38:17,163
He told me, more or less.
428
00:38:17,283 --> 00:38:22,124
Of course the price will depend on
what kind of size we're dealing with.
429
00:38:22,244 --> 00:38:26,516
You know how things are in
this trade, stolen goods and all.
430
00:38:27,861 --> 00:38:31,581
I shall spare no expenses,
so you needn't worry.
431
00:38:31,701 --> 00:38:34,952
Wow... Now that's a big fella!
432
00:38:48,616 --> 00:38:49,819
Magistrate Jang... Here!
433
00:38:49,939 --> 00:38:51,041
Na...Na...Naeuri!
434
00:38:51,161 --> 00:38:53,701
- There... We... We...
- I know, I know already.
435
00:38:53,821 --> 00:38:57,273
You go alert the capital bureau
and escort them to the blacksmith.
436
00:38:57,393 --> 00:38:58,294
The bureau?!
437
00:38:58,414 --> 00:39:00,317
I'll explain later.
438
00:39:00,437 --> 00:39:02,312
Just hurry up!
439
00:39:02,432 --> 00:39:05,933
Yes, then... Capi...Capital...
Yes! Capital Bureau!
440
00:40:03,810 --> 00:40:05,217
- Is it here?
- Yes.
441
00:40:05,337 --> 00:40:07,413
- But...
- Let's get going.
442
00:40:07,533 --> 00:40:10,274
I don't think we should enter.
443
00:40:10,394 --> 00:40:12,284
What's that supposed to mean?
444
00:40:12,404 --> 00:40:15,984
We must leave this place right now.
445
00:40:17,977 --> 00:40:20,065
What's wrong with you?
446
00:40:20,185 --> 00:40:23,869
Are you hiding something from me?
447
00:40:23,989 --> 00:40:25,346
Let's talk later, and...
448
00:40:25,466 --> 00:40:28,625
Is it because of what
is inside that fragment?
449
00:40:29,197 --> 00:40:30,187
Uh?
450
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:32,862
Tell me.
451
00:40:33,434 --> 00:40:37,545
Are you hiding anything from me?
452
00:40:38,236 --> 00:40:39,752
I... can't say.
453
00:40:39,872 --> 00:40:42,613
I can't remember right now.
454
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:47,264
So you really are planning to
conceal this from me all the way?
455
00:40:50,063 --> 00:40:52,661
Let's just leave for now.
456
00:40:53,666 --> 00:40:55,413
Afraid I won't.
457
00:40:56,852 --> 00:40:58,785
I will have to see that.
458
00:40:58,905 --> 00:41:01,305
No matter what it turns out to be!
459
00:41:01,425 --> 00:41:05,868
If it's anything that can shed any light
on the master's lamentable demise.
460
00:41:12,672 --> 00:41:14,690
I beg you... Don't.
461
00:41:15,131 --> 00:41:17,481
You must leave this place!
462
00:41:19,090 --> 00:41:20,559
No.
463
00:41:21,177 --> 00:41:23,192
I cannot do that.
464
00:41:23,312 --> 00:41:26,285
This... This is too dangerous.
465
00:42:36,903 --> 00:42:39,485
That gold bullion which was
brought to the Board of Taxation.
466
00:42:39,605 --> 00:42:42,299
Ohh... The Shilla dynasty one?
467
00:42:43,227 --> 00:42:44,789
I see you were already aware.
468
00:42:44,909 --> 00:42:47,851
It had been hidden
quite meticulously, I hear.
469
00:42:47,971 --> 00:42:49,815
Didn't it explode?
470
00:42:49,935 --> 00:42:53,446
His Majesty ordered to make sure
this does not repeat itself.
471
00:42:54,078 --> 00:42:55,238
But...
472
00:42:56,134 --> 00:42:59,537
it turns out that what
was carved on that fragment...
473
00:42:59,657 --> 00:43:03,323
resembled some sort
of saucer flying in the sky.
474
00:43:04,127 --> 00:43:07,947
Does it perchance have
anything to do with that light?
475
00:43:11,241 --> 00:43:13,066
What do I owe that curiosity to?
476
00:43:13,186 --> 00:43:16,393
Vice Counselor Choi died
in mysterious circumstances.
477
00:43:16,513 --> 00:43:18,836
And the fragment
disappeared in the explosion.
478
00:43:18,956 --> 00:43:23,962
I wonder, were you aware...
479
00:43:24,082 --> 00:43:26,912
of what was hiding
inside that fragment?
480
00:43:27,515 --> 00:43:29,355
What else could gold be?
481
00:43:29,475 --> 00:43:32,067
Don't you obsess over this.
482
00:43:32,187 --> 00:43:35,980
Or maybe you purposely
did that to hide something...
483
00:43:36,100 --> 00:43:37,681
Who knows...
484
00:43:38,423 --> 00:43:39,969
Ever seen...
485
00:43:40,882 --> 00:43:43,041
something like this?
486
00:43:48,608 --> 00:43:50,077
"Back in the Shilla dynasty,
487
00:43:50,197 --> 00:43:53,186
an immense light graced the skies,
488
00:43:53,306 --> 00:43:55,482
causing death and despair."
489
00:43:55,602 --> 00:43:59,101
That is Vice Counselor Choi's theory.
490
00:44:00,910 --> 00:44:05,061
If that rubbed copy you have
is indeed real,
491
00:44:05,181 --> 00:44:07,489
he could have just shown you
the fragment itself.
492
00:44:07,609 --> 00:44:11,881
Why only leave behind a copy,
and get rid of the gold?
493
00:44:13,443 --> 00:44:17,977
I still wonder myself why he did that.
494
00:44:28,099 --> 00:44:30,218
Anything left to say?
495
00:45:16,486 --> 00:45:18,912
I want...
496
00:45:19,032 --> 00:45:22,129
to discover what
I still know nothing about.
497
00:45:25,376 --> 00:45:27,804
And that includes you.
498
00:45:30,477 --> 00:45:32,163
It is...
499
00:45:35,828 --> 00:45:40,617
exactly the same feeling I have.

It feeds itself eating their flesh.
506
00:46:31,194 --> 00:46:34,834
Be it human or animal, that creature
enjoys tormenting them until death.
507
00:46:34,954 --> 00:46:36,535
What did you call it?
508
00:46:36,655 --> 00:46:40,073
Seems like someone
did witness one of them.
509
00:46:40,193 --> 00:46:43,543
Does that look like what you saw?
510
00:46:43,663 --> 00:46:44,919
Really?
511
00:46:45,259 --> 00:46:46,930
You've seen that?
512
00:46:47,050 --> 00:46:50,084
Then, do you know what it might be?
513
00:46:50,471 --> 00:46:54,986
What happened there?
514
00:46:55,106 --> 00:46:58,307
I suddenly saw a blinding light.
515
00:47:05,550 --> 00:47:09,182
I saw it with my own eyes.
516
00:47:09,527 --> 00:47:12,095
What are you referring to?
517
00:47:12,574 --> 00:47:14,058
That creature.
