The Treacherous Page #6

---

Who hired you?

The king is not fit to rule,

so I did what anyone'd do.

Bring him in.

Lord JO, is this your daughter?

Spare me, Your Highness.

Please...

Minister IM...

Please speak on my behalf!

How could we...

Next.

My lady, glad to see you alive.

You there, is this your daughter?

No better than a mad butcher!

Get a grip!

Please!

Next.

Here it is, Your Highness.

This was hard to find.

I'll ask for the last time.

Is she your daughter?

Lord KIM ll-son!

Father...

Why are you silent?

So disloyal!

Why isn't anyone answering me!

Why! Why?

You are pathetic.

What?

Surrounded by pigs

busy stuffing themselves,

with your eyes and ears shut,

who'll tell you the truth?

What is the truth you're

so desperate to tell?

Go on, tell me.

Become a human, if not a king.

Soong-jae.

Is this a masterpiece or

should I put your name on it?

I am solely to be blamed

for my son's faults.

Please take my life and forgive him!

Forgive?

How can I forgive anyone, when I can't even

recognize my mother's belongings?

Remember this? A symbol

of our relationship.

Without this, I'd still be a

plaything for her enemies.

So let me ask, why'd you bring me this?

I was sincerely looking

after your well-being...

My well-being?

I used it to solidify my throne,

and you regained power.

Your sincerity is noted.

So can I throw it away now?

Your Highness!

But it's your mother's article!

It's my mother's, so why do you care?

The late king worried

about seeds of trouble,

so any articles that belonged to the queen

were all destroyed.

Father...

Did you really took me for a fool?

The late queen was indeed

killed by conspiracy...

I'll ask again!

When a king makes an error,

should his subjects object,

or should they comply for

the fear of their lives?

A loyal subject should...

Pandering to my needs,

regardless of its consequences,

you're a treacherous subject!

You blinded me with flattery,

you're a traitor who ruined this nation!

Your Highness! Please take my life!

No loyal servants exist in my court,

only faithful dogs.

But a dog should not be

put down over one bite.

What an interesting family.

A father, who offered

his own wife's keepsake,

and his son, who offered his lover.

What will you do for me now?

Can you bring me paint for the drawing?

Get out.

Do it.

I've no reason to live...

Yes, this is it.

This is my reward to you,

so retain your loyalty.

I'm eternally grateful.

And recruit for the next

group of comforters.

No mistakes this time.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Dying in your hand will be an honor.

She'll be taken out of the palace.

Treat her well.

That is the reason why I kept you alive.

This was your sister's,

and the only detachable

one from the screen.

I'd have used it too,

to avenge a sister who

met a shameful death.

Shouldn't have trusted a whore.

Care for an amusement?

When blood river soaks the dry land,

old boat's clamors shake the world!

Cowardly boatman!

Seize the moment to build a new boat!

Treacherous words from

a treacherous subject.

Round everyone up!

Close the door, another purge is coming!

Hide yourself, they'll take you away!

You are all pigs!

Fattened up on the king's lands,

and offered back to the king!

That is the very reason of your life!

Peasant blood and sweat

fueled the king's madness,

it knew no boundary.

If the screams of his populace

don't stop his dance,

he must be stopped at any cost.

When IM returns with new comforters,

public's rage will be at its limit,

we'll start the rebellion.

You bastards! Heaven will judge you.

Go to hell, you bastards!

Don't you have family?

How is she?

She's a stubborn one.

Why is everyone so desperate to die?

I've returned from duty, Your Highness.

Where is everyone?

Due to long travel, I've

allowed them to rest.

But I should at least greet them!

They will look better when they are rested.

All right, I can wait a night.

You must also be tired, so rest up.

Go now. Take a rest.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Anyone there?

Yes, Your Highness, are you all right?

They should all be rested, right?

Pardon me?

I wish to see the comforters now.

But I must alert the security guards...

You can be my security detail!

Get ready at once!

Your Highness, Minister IM is here.

Soong-jae!

If you had everything ready,

you should've told me before I got drunk.

Forgive me.

I was too conscious of others.

It's okay, very good.

Everyone's so afraid of me,

always, 'Your Highness!'

Shut the hell up!

Damn it!

- Soong-jae!

- Yes, bud!

Let's have some real fun,

like we did as kids!

Girls!

Soong-jae, where is everyone?

What's going on? Don't joke around!

Do you remember?

The girl role play, that you liked?

What?

Now, you take the role

that I always had to play.

You must be mad!

If you want it intact, hide it.

What's going on?

- My Lord!

- What happened?

Don't be upset over the past.

I understand, I'll forget about this.

So sheath your sword.

Sheath your sword!

The world will be better off without it.

Fine, fine.

You think I won't do it?

I will...

Your Majesty!

Yes, Lord!

Enough!

How dare you look at me that way!

Contempt for the king won't go unpunished!

I only see a murderer,

so where is the king?

Do you still feel inferior

for your mother's passing?

Since you love blood so much, how fitting!

Why are you doing this?

Evil wins power, so all

desire to be more evil.

It's the source of our tragedy,

and what tortures your soul!

I shall uproot it.

Even if I die, you can't take my place!

Friend! Evil is replaced by a greater evil.

You underestimate me!

Your Highness.

I'll bring out the comforters,

and leave you be.

Pale skin, full buttocks, sharp nose tip.

They fit your taste,

so please fulfill your duty as a king.

You bastard!

Stop right there!

Is anyone outside?

Let's go!

Do not back down!

We must take the palace!

Captain!

Minister YU, you brought reinforcement.

We can't last very long this way.

Still no orders from the king?

He's nowhere to be found.

The palace gate is open!

Advance!

Minister!

What took you so long?

I want nothing more than

to save this country!

I heard that fox Soong-jae visited you.

How can you lead the

uprising with his help?

And, I know I'm late to the party,

but reserve me a spot in the court.

Advance!

IM Soong-jae!

Traitors!

Are you not afraid of the heavens?

Do you not know who I am?

Of course we do!

A former concubine, who

feeds off the populace,

you're just a temptress who fueled tyranny!

Take her out!

You're just a pathetic pawn!

I was a loyal subject...

Die, you b*tch!

Do it! I can't endure more shame!

You've done so much harm,

you call this shame?

It wouldn't be enough to rip you to shreds!

What are you waiting for? Kill me!

Did you think you could

redeem yourself this way?

I too have blood on my hands,

how am I any different from the mad king?

If you could at least laugh at me...

Stay alive.

Your sins will not wash away so easily.
