"Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Episode 20" "Why is he taking so long?" "Could something have happened?" "Chun Soo?" "Is that you, Chun Soo?" " Who are you?" " Get the girl." "Quickly!" "Let go!" "Let me go!" " Chun Soo!" "Chun Soo!" " Gag her and take her away." "Hurry!" "Sir..." " Was he telling the truth?" " Yes, sir." "He was." "The Royal Musician he lives with, ... confirmed that he knows Lady Investigator Chun." " Is that so?" " Yes, they're supposed to be like siblings!" "I'll have to listen to the details later." "But why were you there?" "We were following the secretary of Im Sang Ju Trade." "What?" "You too?" "Then you were watching him too?" "Yes, we were investigating the money order." "But how did you know that?" " Did you hear about this from Dong Yi?" " Yes, sir." "I told her to stop her investigation." " But she was following him with you!" " Yes, that's right." "Sir, I have to go to her." "She's waiting for me right now!" " Where is she?" " In front of the Im Sang Ju Trade office." " We have Dong Yi, sir." " Indeed?" " Are you sure it's the right girl?" " Yes, I'm sure of it." "There are still pedestrians around, so we've locked her up at the warehouse by the river." "Now I finally have that meddlesome wench in my grasp." "Kill her so that she can't meddle anymore." "But still, she is a Lady Investigator from the Palace." "Yes, sir." "There must be no loose ends." "Do you hear me?" "Yes, sir." "Chun Soo!" "Where are you?" "Help me!" "Help me please!" "We've sent men for her, so don't worry too much!" " Yes, sir." " And just now..." "You seemed quite skilled." "Almost as good as me." "We should spar sometime." "But how did a corpse-handler learn martial arts?" "It just happened that way." "It didn't look that way to me!" "Why is she taking so long to get here?" "Why are you getting angry at me?" "I'm sure she'll be here." "Your Majesty, it is getting late." "Please retire to your bedchambers." "Your Majesty, you haven't slept in days!" "I fear for your health!" "Don't worry about me." "I'm fine." "Your Majesty, it is I!" "What is it?" "Your Majesty, the Dowager Queen...." "The Dowager Queen is said to be in critical condition!" "What?" "!" "Mother?" " Your Majesty!" " What happened?" "I just received word too." "The Dowager Queen's condition is said to have suddenly deteriorated." "The Queen was at the Dowager Queen's side." "But Her Majesty's condition suddenly got worse." "What?" "Lady Cho!" "Mother...!" "Mother..." "Please open your eyes!" "Mother...!" "Mother!" "What happened?" "Didn't you tell me she was improving?" " Please forgive us, Your Majesty!" " Did you treat her properly?" "Can your prescriptions be trusted?" "Your Majesty, please calm down." "I'm sorry, My Queen." "But I do not wish to see you right now." "Mother...!" "Mother...!" "Your Majesty..." "Mother, it's me." "Please open your eyes and look at me!" "You can't just leave like this!" "I can't let you leave like this!" "Mother...!" "Don't leave....!" "You were the one who wrote this money order, right?" "I'm the trade secretary." "What's so wrong with writing a money order?" "It becomes a problem when your trade clan is unable to pay such a big sum of money." "Who is it?" "Who made you write this money order that can't even be honored?" "What... what do you mean?" "Let me give you a word of advice." "You may have written this money order without much thought." "But what you did is high treason." "Do you know that the Dowager Queen is ill?" "Someone has plotted to kill her, ... and at the center of the plot is your money order." "So let me ask you again." "Who made you write this money order?" "If you tell me the man," "I will try my best to help you be acquitted of your crimes." "I don't know who it is either." " You don't know?" " It's true!" "I really don't know!" "All I did was follow my Chief's orders!" "It's true!" "Please believe me!" "You leave me no choice." "You will be accused of conspiring to kill the Dowager Queen." " Sir..." " Go on." "I really don't know who gave the orders." "But I know of a way we can find out." "How is that?" "In exchange for writing this fake money order  I received a real one." "That money order wasn't payable by our trade clan." "It's payable by Dosung's largest trade clan, Park Ju Myung Trade." "If you investigate that money order, you should find your man." " Go with him and find that money order." " Yes, sir!" " Let's go." "Come with me!" " Yes, sir!" "Once we find out who gave him the orders, the rest is easy." "Sir!" "I have bad news!" " What is it?" " Lady Investigator Chun... is missing!" "What did you just say?" "Dong Yi is missing?" "We went to the place you told us, but she wasn't there!" "She's not at home or the Office of Investigations either!" "What should we do?" " Drag her out!" " Yes, sir!" "If they've taken Dong Yi, her life is in danger." "Gather the men quickly!" " Yes, sir!" "Let's go!" " Yes, sir!" "Do you have any ideas on where they could have taken her?" "No." "Sir, I need to go somewhere." "What happened to the secretary who was taken to the Police Bureau?" "We have an inside man there." "He'll get him out soon." "You...!" "Where is Dong Yi?" "Dong Yi?" "Who are you talking about?" "Where is she?" "What's wrong?" "I don't understand what you're saying?" "I'll ask you for the last time." "Where is Dong Yi?" " Tie the rock to her feet!" " Yes, sir!" "Drop her into the water so that she'll never be found again!" "Yes, sir!" "Dong Yi!" "Dong Yi!" " Put the bag over head!" " Yes, sir!" "Stop!" "Throw her in!" "Why are you home all of a sudden?" "The gisaengs in the capital will be sad!" "Oh, Mother." "Shall I live forever amidst the skirts of gisaengs?" "On a momentous day like today, I should stay quietly at home." "Is something happening today?" "Will the Dowager Queen die tonight?" "How wonderful it would be if she did!" "Heaven will take care of that old fox." "Tonight, several meddlesome people will go away." "Do you mean the Queen will be deposed and our Consort Hui will become Queen?" "Yes, Mother." "Tonight you will become the Mother of the Queen!" "Mother of the Queen?" "Me...?" " Sir!" "Sir..!" " What is it?" "I have bad news!" "What is it now?" "How do you feel?" "Are you all right?" "Yes, Chun Soo." "I'm sorry I couldn't come earlier." "Don't say that." "You did come." "We have to go somewhere quickly." "Where is he?" " What happened?" " He was already dead when I found him." "Find out quickly what's been done with Dong Yi!" "Yes, sir!" "Let's go!" " Dong Yi!" " Sir..." "You're safe." "Where is the secretary now?" "He went with Lieutenant Nam to get evidence." " Where?" "Where did they go?" " What's wrong?" "The men who seized me said that their inside man would make sure the secretary got away." " What?" "Are you sure?" " Yes, sir." "Officer Lee!" "Officer Yu!" "What could have happened?" "Get up!" "Get up, men!" "This way, sir!" "Sir!" "I don't believe it!" "They're all dead!" "Where's Lieutenant Nam?" "Where's the secretary?" "They're nowhere to be found!" " Find them quickly!" " Yes, sir!" "What happened?" "Forgive us, sir, but the Police put up a good fight." "What about the secretary?" "Did you manage to kill him?" "We..." " I asked you a question!" " We deserve to be killed!" "We weren't able to stop the lieutenant from escaping with him!" " What?" " But we managed to wound the secretary." "He's probably dead by now!" "You stupid fools!" "He's probably dead by now?" "I don't need him to be probably dead!" "I need to see his corpse before me!" "Sir, we found them!" "Found them?" "Where?" "Hey, Lieutenant Nam!" "He's still breathing!" " What about the secretary?" " He's dead!" "Sir!" " Move Lieutenant Nam." " Yes, sir." "Let's get him out!" " What?" "The secretary is dead?" " That's right." "Lieutenant Nam risked his life to get him out, ... but the secretary's wounds were too severe." "What happens now?" "Is there nothing we can do now?" "Your Highness, the Chief is here." "My brother?" "What brings you here at this hour, Brother?" "Your Highness, there's been a slight problem." "Problem?" "What is it?" "Tell me!" " Dong Yi!" " Where have you been?" " Dong Yi!" " I have to see the Queen first, My Lady." " The Queen?" " Yes, My Lady." "Please forgive us, Your Majesty." "If he hadn't died, we would have been able to prove the money order was fake." "It's all right." "You did your best and still couldn't find proof." "Perhaps it was never meant to be found." "But it's not over yet, Your Majesty." "Before he died," "The secretary said that he had received a money order as well as a letter." "Out of worry, he left it with someone." "If we find them, we'll be able to find the culprit." "Your Majesty, please wait a little longer." "We won't give up until we prove your innocence!" "What... what did you just say?" "Do you want to be beheaded?" "But that's what the rumors say!" "Even so, rumors like those can get you in big trouble!" "What rumors?" " It's nothing, My Lord." " Don't you know me at all?" "Don't make me repeat myself!" "Tell me!" "So..." "if the Dowager Queen passes away..." "The Queen is going to be deposed and Consort Hui will become Queen..." "Please forgive me, My Lord!" "I swear I'll never speak such rumors again!" "Please forgive me!" "What rumors?" "That's exactly what is going to happen!" "What?" "Everyone knows that the Queen will be deposed and Consort Hui will be made Queen!" "And I thought you were talking about something interesting!" " That cursed wretch!" "He's so rude!" " Sir!" " The Director has asked for you." " Me...?" "Not me, right?" "How am I supposed to know what this is?" "Did you ask to see me?" " Welcome!" " What is this about?" "So... if there is a royal death," "We should be busy at the Bureau of Music too, right?" " A royal death?" " You know, the Dowager Queen!" "But she's still alive..." "I'm just preparing for the future!" "It's my duty as the Director of the Music Bureau!" "Yes, My Lord." "But you know, I don't have any experience in such matters." "I don't know how to prepare for anything." "Say something." "That cursed family!" "How can father and son be so alike?" "How could they talk about a state funeral when Her Majesty is still alive?" "Those mongrels!" "What are you praying for?" "What else?" "For the bright future of Consort Hui, of course." "Her future is already at its pinnacle!" "You don't have to pray anymore!" "What are you talking about?" "At its pinnacle?" "Her Highness still has more places to go!" "How can you say this is the pinnacle?" "I mean, how much higher is she aiming for?" "Are you saying that you doubt she will become Queen?" "What?" "How... how can you say that?" "Why are you interfering me when I'm praying!" "Leave right now!" "Please forgive me, Madam!" "I've made a big mistake!" "My mouth gets me in such trouble!" "Please allow me to pray with you!" "I'll pray for Consort Hui to become Queen!" "I pray to the gods of the north, south, east and west!" "Please accept our petition, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty, the Queen is supposed to be the Mother of our nation." "The Queen has committed acts that shame her crown." "Therefore, she must be deposed!" "You take things too far, Councilor!" "What has the Queen done to deserve such a punishment?" "Don't try to turn a blind eye, Minister!" "The medical officer has given his confession  and now we have evidence of their relationship." "Everything points to the Queen!" "How can you say she is innocent?" "How can you call yourself the Minister of Justice?" "Your Majesty, this is unfair!" "This is a set up trying to falsely incriminate the Queen!" "You must uncover the truth, Your Majesty!" "It's already been uncovered by the Tribunal!" "What else do you want?" "How can you say that, Councilor!" "Enough!" "That's enough!" "The Queen Mother is unwell!" "Why do you make my troubles worse with this petition?" "Your Majesty, I regret to inform you that it is exactly why we're here with this petition!" "The Dowager Queen is in her condition because of unspeakable criminal act!" "Someone in the Palace is responsible of that crime!" "You must not delay punishment when the evidence is so clear!" "Please accept our petition, Your Majesty!" "Mother...!" " My Queen..." " Mother!" "Mother, you must recover your health!" "You must not leave like this!" "Mother!" "Your Majesty!" "I have terrible news!" "What is it?" "They are discussing your dethronement at the Grand Palace right now!" "The Ministers of the South Faction  have submitted a petition to His Majesty advocating your dethronement!" " What?" " What should we do, Your Majesty?" "My Queen..." "You... you cannot be...!" "Mother!" "Where is the Royal Physician!" "Mother!" "Please open your eyes!" "Mother!" "This is an extremely important matter, so make sure your answers are clear." "Yes, sir." "Do you know the secretary of Im Sang Ju Trade?" "I am familiar with him as we are both secretaries." "Do you know who he is close to?" "He has no living relatives and didn't seem close to any particular person." "Sir..." "Did you find out anything, sir?" "It doesn't look good." "That secretary had no family and no close friends either!" "Does that mean we won't be able to find the person he asked to keep the money order?" "The Police Bureau cannot investigate this officially." "All files have been transferred to the Tribunal." "I can only do so much because..." "I am conducting this investigation off the record." "We don't have enough time!" "The ministers are already calling for the Queen to be deposed!" "What?" "And if any of the prisoners at the Tribunal gives a false confession under torture," "There is nothing more we can do." "No, sir." "There's another way." "What?" "Someone can stop the Tribunal." "I will meet him and earn some time." "Dong Yi..." "Left Police Bureau" " You still haven't found the body?" " No, sir." "You have until the end of the day." "Find his body or bring him back alive!" "If you don't do either of this, I will make you into a corpse!" " Do you understand?" " Yes, sir!" "Sir, someone is here to see you." "What?" "That girl?" "Yes, she said her name was Chun Dong Yi." "She is here... of her own volition?" "What could she want?" " Send her in." " Yes, sir." "What did you say?" "Dong Yi went to see Left Chief Jang?" "That's what happened." "Wait." "Sir!" "I gave her permission." " Sir!" " Don't worry." "Jang Hee-Jae may be reckless, but he's not stupid." "He won't do anything to her in broad daylight at the Left Police Bureau." "I sent men to guard her, so let's just wait for her to return." "I'm glad that you're here." "I always thought you were a fearless and impudent girl!" "That's why I told Her Highness to get rid of you." "So what did you come here to say to me?" "Let's hear what you have to say." "Last night..." "I know it was you who tried to have me killed." "So you're here to threaten me?" "I'm so scared." "Let's just suppose it was me." "How will you prove it?" "Will you tell His Majesty?" "He may favor you, but do you really think he will believe you without any proof?" "I am the brother of a Royal Noble Consort." "If you do this, you will be guilty of false incrimination against Her Highness." "That won't happen." "Because as you said, I have no proof." "But the other crime you committed last night..." "That, I have proof of." "What?" "The secretary who wrote the money order for you." "The man you tried to have killed last night." "You're looking for him, aren't you?" "He's with me." " What?" " The secretary is with me." "Wench!" "What are you saying?" "How dare you try to tempt me with lies!" "I'm not lying to you." "You have been searching for his body, but you will never find it." "Because he's still alive." "He was severely wounded, but he recovered after treatment." "I'm telling you he is alive." "That's what I came here to tell you." "You little....!" "How dare you try to negotiate with me!" "I can kill you right now!" "You can't kill me here." "People know that I'm here." "Besides, there are many eyes here." "Insolent wench!" "Why?" "Why are you telling me this?" "Why are you here?" " I will turn him over to you." " What?" "In exchange, stop the Tribunal investigation." "What?" "The only thing I want is the Queen's innocence to be revealed." "I will turn him over to you, so please stop the Tribunal investigation." "Do you really think I will believe you?" "If you really had the secretary, you would have no reason to negotiate with me." "We have to negotiate with you." "The reason is..." "Even if we bring the secretary in," "The matter of the Queen's dethronement cannot be reversed once decided." "I need the investigation to be stopped." "I need to see him first." " I need to make sure..." " Sir..." "I am a Lady Investigator." "I am not so naive as to bring you to him." "This is all I have to say." "It is up to you whether you'll believe me." "You wretched....!" "No, it can't be!" "How could she have him?" "But we managed to wound the secretary." "He was severely wounded, but he recovered after treatment." "I'm telling you that he's still alive." "Chun Dong Yi, you wench!" " Your Highness." " I am here to see His Majesty." "Your Majesty, Consort Hui seeks your audience." "Tell her to go back." "I do not wish to see anyone today." "Yes, Your Majesty." "I understand." "I'll come back another time." "Yes, Your Highness." "Please don't be troubled, Your Highness." "The Queen's dethronement has already been decided." "But it's not over yet." "Nothing has been done yet." " Brother!" " Your Highness!" "We may have to forget about this matter." "What did you say?" "Forget about this?" " Has something gone wrong?" " It's just temporary, Your Highness!" " I'll take care of the Queen next time..." " No!" "That won't happen." "Do you know what I had to do?" "Do you know what I had to do to make this happen?" "Your Highness...!" "I had to throw away my pride!" "And now you want me to forget about this?" "That will never happen!" "The Queen must be taken care of now!" "He seemed to waver, but I'm not sure if he believed me." "Where did you get that gumption of yours?" "I don't know." "No matter what Jang Hee-Jae decides, we still have to do our duty." "I am going to the secretary's previous trade clan to ask some questions." "You stay here with Dong Yi and look for other means here." "Yes, sir." "I will search Im Sang Ju Trade's safe." "Safe?" "Yes, a trade clan keeps their money and valuables in a separate safe." "If he didn't have anyone to confide in, he may have put the money order there." "They should have broken by now with all the torture they have gone through." " Sir!" " What is it?" "Someone from the Queen's family is willing to confess!" "Indeed?" "Once the torture became unbearable, he must have decided to end the suffering." "This is the report on the investigation." "We received a confession regarding the Dowager Queen's tonic." "A servant working for the Queen's family has confessed  to delivering money to the medical officer." "He has confessed the plot was to poison the Dowager Queen  and then frame Consort Hui for the crime." " All right." "You may leave." " Yes, Your Majesty." "Your Majesty..." "Summon the Queen." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Do you have anything else to say to me?" "Say something, My Queen." "No matter what the circumstances are, I still want to hear what you have to say." "If I say something, will you believe me?" "All evidence is pointing towards me." "But will you believe me, Your Majesty?" "I'm sorry, My Queen." "There is nothing I can do." "I believe that you didn't know anything about this." "Although I want to believe you," "As long as there is evidence indicating that your family was involved," "I cannot protect you anymore." "It's all right, Your Majesty." "It is enough for me that you asked me for my side of the story." "I am grateful for that." "I only have one request, Your Majesty." "While Mother is still alive, I would like to remain at her side." "Can you give me your permission?" "The Royal Physician does not think that she will last much longer." "I know." "Three days..." "No, even just tonight will be enough." "Please allow me to remain at her side until the end." "What's going on?" "Why are they looking so serious?" " They're commencing the dethronement process." " What?" "Dethronement?" "Who?" "The Queen?" "Of course it's the Queen!" "Unbelievable!" "How can they do this?" "The King really gave those orders?" "He hasn't done so officially, ... but they say he's already made up his mind." "My Lady, is this true?" "Yes, it's been decided that  once the Dowager Queen passes away, the process will begin." "My Lady!" "They say she'll most likely pass on tonight." "It won't be long." "You should come out." "We'll be responsible for carrying this out." "But Dong Yi and Chief Suh are still investigating this case!" "They can't do this just based on what the Tribunal found!" "Where on earth is Dong Yi?" "What is she doing?" " You mean it's from Police Chief Suh?" " That's right." "He has ordered me to search your safe." " But..." " We don't have time!" "All right." "Come with me." "Please take a look." "Chun Soo!" "Is that the only safe?" "There is one more, but the secretary doesn't have access to it." "Still, may we take a look?" "What do I do?" "Where did I put the key?" " I'm leaving." "Are there any more letters?" " Wait!" " Let's go, Dong Yi." " One moment, Chun Soo!" "You go ahead." "I need to check something." "Dong Yi!" "Did you see a boy come from there?" "Hey!" "Wait a moment." "You're the errand boy from Im Sang Ju Trade, right?" "Yes, I am." "Who are you?" "I'm a Lady Investigator from the Palace." "I have a question for you." "Will you answer me to your best ability?" "Yes, My Lady!" "Did the secretary of Im Sang Ju Trade give you any letters to keep for him?" "He gave you a letter to deliver, didn't he?" " A letter?" " That's right." "It's over there, Chun Soo." "It's here." "The errand boy was told to deliver the letter to a young gisaeng here." "Here it is." "The secretary sent me these letters and asked me to keep them for him." "This is everything." "This is it, Dong Yi." "Yes, it is." " My brother still hasn't sent a message?" " No, Your Highness." "Send someone to the house for an update!" "Yes, Your Highness!" " Your Highness, it is Yeong-Sun!" " Come in." "How is the Dowager Queen?" "Your Highness, it is all over!" " What?" " All over?" "She has passed away, Your Highness!" "The Dowager Queen is dead!" "Your Highness!" " Sir, it's me." " Enter." "Excellency, our troubles are now over!" "The Dowager Queen has just passed away!" " What?" "Is that really true?" " Yes, Councilor!" "Uncle!" "All that's left is the next step." "Now, the Queen will be dethroned!" "Yes, everything is happening as it should!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "How..." "how can you leave like this?" "How could you close your eyes when you must be full of bitterness?" "This can't be happening!" "Your Majesty!" "Mother..." "Please forgive your unfilial son." "Please..." "Please forgive..." "Please forgive me..." "Mother!" "Mother!" "Mother!" "Now we can request for another investigation!" "What's going on?" "The Royal Guards are..." "My Lady, it's Dong Yi!" " Dong Yi!" " My Lady!" "What happened to you?" "Where have you been?" "What's going on, My Lady?" "Did something happen at the Palace?" " My Lady!" " The Dowager Queen has passed away." "What?" "The Dowager Queen?" "And His Majesty has ordered the Queen to be deposed." "Deposed?" "No, that's not possible!" "That can't happen!" "That can't happen, My Lady!"
