Empress Ki (Gi Hwanghu / 기황후) English Subtitles

1
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,800
Only one candidate passed the test.

2
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,800
We made sure everyone was graded equally.

3
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,600
So accept the decision and return to your homes.

4
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,600
Dok Man, escort Her Grace to be examined.

5
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,000
Your Majesty.

6
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,500
If you please.

7
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,100
Where are you going?

8
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:45,700
To be examined.

9
00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,600
Examined?

10
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,100
The girl was selected?

1
00:00:39,900 --> 00:00:42,900
Why don't you drink?

2
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,800
Surely you don't suspect me?

3
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:53,600
Drink.

4
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:56,800
Now!

5
00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:03,000
Drink every drop

6
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,400
or we'll hold your mouth open.

7
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,900
Don't touch it.

8
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,100
What have you put in this that it's so important?

9
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:20,200
You've never heard of a nerve tonic?

10
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,600
Never of one with arnebia and mung beans

1
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:27,000
Your Imperial Majesty...

2
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,500
My Liege.

3
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:32,500
Your pardon, but Her Majesty forbids...

4
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,000
I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

5
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,000
Be grateful he can't speak.

6
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Or it would be your neck.

7
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:07,500
Nyang...

8
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,900
What? The emperor went to the archive?

9
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:22,200
Yes. He's with Lady Ki now.

10
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,800
If he insists on taking her out...

1
00:00:22,500 --> 00:00:25,300
Drink.

2
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,600
Your Grace...

3
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,300
What?

4
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:37,300
Wake up, Your Grace.

5
00:01:43,300 --> 00:01:47,500
What is it this time?

6
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:48,800
Poison.

7
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,800
Lady Ki has been poisoned.

8
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,200
The doctor. Quickly.

9
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:18,600
The tonic is perfectly fine.

10
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,800
As the investigation established.

1
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,300
Why did you bring the girl?

2
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:48,500
Bring them here.

3
00:00:48,500 --> 00:00:49,500
Yes, sir...

4
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:07,200
You know why you're here?

5
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:13,600
We can ask El Temur that when we see him.

6
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,100
How awkward.

7
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:27,000
El Temur ordered you to be detained.

8
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,500
Yet you will make things difficult when you see him.

9
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:32,900
So...

10
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,900
Why are you like this to me?

1
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:30,900
What is it you wanted?

2
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:33,800
How is the Emperor?

3
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:41,400
Not well since the governors joined El Temur.

4
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:51,900
Open it.

5
00:00:55,900 --> 00:01:01,100
The means to stop the abdication.

6
00:01:02,900 --> 00:01:04,700
The means?

7
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:08,200
What do all these names mean?

8
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,400
The agents of Eagle House in the provinces.

9
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,200
How will this help sway the governors?

10
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:23,000
My Liege, listen closely.

1
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,300
If you'll excuse me.

2
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:25,000
You can relax.

3
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,000
I lost the abdication,

4
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000
but I won't lose the seal.

5
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:35,700
Father, Lady Ki to see you.

6
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:39,100
What? Lady Ki?

7
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:40,600
I'll send her away.

8
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,800
Send her in.

9
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:47,900
Why even bother with her?

10
00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:06,300
How dare you...

1
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,100
Feeling better?

2
00:00:24,100 --> 00:00:26,500
Yes.

3
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:28,700
Ignore the empress.

4
00:00:28,700 --> 00:00:32,700
It was the wine talking.

5
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,800
If you will excuse me.

6
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:46,800
Sleep here tonight.

7
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,400
"The image of me resting in your arms."

8
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,600
How long will you leave me lonely?

9
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,600
-My Liege. -How long will you push me away?

10
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,700
"To the days we used to love to the point of tears"

1
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,100
Detain Lady Ki.

2
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:22,800
And the imperial eunuchs.

3
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:31,200
Patience.

4
00:00:55,100 --> 00:00:56,200
Take her away.

5
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,700
Yes, sire...

6
00:00:57,700 --> 00:01:01,000
His Imperial Majesty.

7
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,500
My Liege, feeling better?

8
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:20,000
How dare you lay hands on her?

9
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,100
I'm pleased to see you.

10
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:30,600
Lady Ki is a criminal.

1
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,900
You had the dream again last night?

2
00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:27,700
It bit my neck this time.

3
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:32,600
Do you mind if I take a look?

4
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Look around your chambers.

5
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,800
There should be a tablet buried somewhere near.

6
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,400
A tablet?

7
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,200
The name of the dead.

8
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,500
Then it...

9
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:23,500
It will bear your name.

10
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,000
It is a difficult curse.

1
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,400
Many happy returns for the young prince.

2
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,600
Many happy returns...

3
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,000
Thank you all.

4
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,200
My Liege, perhaps a few words for our son?

5
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,300
My Liege, since it's the prince's birthday,

6
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:44,300
won't you say a few congratulatory words?

7
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,700
The governors expect it.

8
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:54,600
Kolta, bring Prince Ayu.

9
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,500
Yes, My Liege.

10
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,600
This is Maha's birthday.

1
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:28,700
My sword.

2
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,500
By this sword...

3
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,400
I swear to fight to the death.

4
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,900
No, My Liege.

5
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:47,600
It is our place to give our lives to protect you.

6
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,200
Leave it to us.

7
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,300
Can you promise me you won't die?

8
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:59,300
No. Hear your emperor.

9
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:04,100
I forbid you to die and break my heart.

10
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:06,100
My Liege.

1
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,900
Sure, tell us to dig for gold.

2
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:30,300
But looking for nonexistent treasure?

3
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:40,300
It's been four days.

4
00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:42,000
Look as deep as you want.

5
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,500
There's nothing there worth finding.

6
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:48,800
It has to be.

7
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,800
It's there somewhere.

8
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:58,800
Anything to report?

9
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,300
Yes, sir.

10
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:02,500
How's my father?

1
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,400
I got caught up in my own vendetta.

2
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:33,200
But now I will fight for Koryo.

3
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,800
And for myself.

4
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,000
Make me empress.

5
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,900
My son must be crown prince

6
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:49,600
and, ultimately, emperor.

7
00:00:53,500 --> 00:01:00,300
Will you work with me?

8
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:04,000
If I do,

9
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,700
then you must do something for Koryo.

10
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,400
This is my reply to the secret decree

1
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,300
Sir.

2
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:31,600
You know who just stepped out of the palace?

3
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,600
I got word from my men.

4
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,100
That nasty piece of work Sung Nyang

5
00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:41,100
is out in the open.

6
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,200
Muster the men.

7
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,500
Yes, sir.

8
00:00:57,100 --> 00:01:05,600
Sire, Yon Fei Su sent word that Lady Ki is in danger.

9
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,700
Protect Her Worship.

10
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:21,400
Who are you? Who sent you?

1
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:24,300
What? In the mining town?

2
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:27,400
Just out of sight.

3
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,600
Right in front of us.

4
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,100
The mine, sure.

5
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:37,200
But not in the town itself.

6
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,400
We have to get it before Bayan does.

7
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,400
Find a way to get us out of the capital.

8
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,700
Yes, sir.

9
00:00:55,300 --> 00:01:01,300
Sorry, but there's no way I'm sharing that money.

10
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:02,700
Tangqishi.

1
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,100
Your Majesty.

2
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:24,700
What's all this?

3
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:28,800
Items for my pavilion.

4
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,500
Let's have a look.

5
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:34,200
I'm curious to know what you bought.

6
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:35,400
It's nothing.

7
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,900
Don't be shy.

8
00:00:41,300 --> 00:00:43,700
My Liege.

9
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:47,400
Are you saying I shouldn't look?

10
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:51,000
Not at all.

1
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:35,300
My Liege, drinking again?

2
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:38,400
My lady.

3
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,700
Don't be a nag.

4
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:44,000
My Liege.

5
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,200
However,

6
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,800
all the same...

7
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:55,000
it's nice to see you.

8
00:01:01,300 --> 00:01:03,300
Your Majesty.

9
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,300
This him?

10
00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:31,700
His 3,000 faced 20,000 enemy soldiers.

1
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,900
Kill them...

2
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:27,400
It's him. He betrayed Yuan!

3
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,000
And kill his spy, Lady Ki!

4
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,600
Lady Ki was in on it! Kill her!

5
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,900
Kill Lady Ki...

6
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:45,200
Kill them...

7
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,700
Kill Lady Ki?

8
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,000
Why would they say that?

9
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
They think she was in on it with Wang Yu.

10
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:01,100
No.

1
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,900
Another letter from Wang Yu to Lady Ki.

2
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:33,900
I'll get rid of it.

3
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,800
No.

4
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,700
Let me see.

5
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Sung Nyang, I keep your words close to my heart.

6
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,900
That your body is his, but your heart is mine.

7
00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:56,200
As long as there are mountains in Koryo

8
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,100
my love for you will never change.

9
00:01:00,100 --> 00:01:02,500
I miss you, Sung Nyang.

10
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:22,400
My Liege, Her Worship Lady Ki.

1
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,800
Spare Maha.

2
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,200
Spare him?

3
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,000
Explain yourself.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,400
Maha is...

5
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,300
Star.

6
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:34,000
Star...

7
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:38,000
The child you thought was dead.

8
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:45,100
Your baby.

9
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,400
Impossible.

10
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,500
Star was...

1
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,200
His Majesty is sleeping.

2
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:32,000
Nyang...

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,100
Why are you doing this?

4
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:37,600
Why would you do this to me?

5
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,100
Ayu is crown prince at last.

6
00:00:41,100 --> 00:00:45,100
I have no more need of you.

7
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:48,700
Nyang, how could you?

8
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:53,600
Enemy of my father, my king.

9
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,100
You will die by my hand.

10
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,100
No. No, Nyang!

1
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:25,200
My Liege, you're awake?

2
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:31,600
My Liege, may I speak with you?

3
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,100
Yes. Go ahead.

4
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:40,900
My Liege, Maha...

5
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:44,700
Do you need the doctor?

6
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:47,600
No.

7
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:48,600
I'm fine.

8
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,200
My Liege, Maha is actually...

9
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,700
Her Worship Lady Ki.

10
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:09,500
My Liege.

1
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,900
'The regent, Bayan.'

2
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:36,400
-My Liege. -Prior to executing the regent...

3
00:00:37,900 --> 00:00:40,900
Why didn't you discuss it with me first?

4
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,100
How could you just kill him out of hand?

5
00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:52,000
He was using you.

6
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,600
He was a despot.

7
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,300
A despot?

8
00:00:56,300 --> 00:01:02,000
He wanted to build this nation.

9
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,200
Your greed for power

10
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,000
cost me my most loyal vassal.

1
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,400
You know Maha's real parents?

2
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,600
Let go.

3
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,100
Wang Yu and Sung Nyang.

4
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:49,700
That can't be.

5
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:52,500
Ask Lady Soh.

6
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:54,700
You will always be.

7
00:00:54,700 --> 00:01:00,000
Sung Nyang's second choice.

8
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:05,700
Pathetic.

9
00:01:05,700 --> 00:01:07,500
No...

10
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:12,200
No...

1
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:23,200
The memory lapses started...

2
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:28,500
When I took Kolta's medicine while working.

3
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:33,900
I never remember anything after drinking it.

4
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:35,200
No...

5
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,900
Kolta.

6
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,100
Kolta is visiting is sick mother.

7
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:44,200
Have him prepare my medicine when he gets back.

8
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,600
Yes, My Liege.

9
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:01,000
Your Majesty.

10
00:01:10,100 --> 00:01:11,700
Your Majesty?
