Episode 65
4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,680
Answer the question before the count of three,
5
00:00:14,010 --> 00:00:16,690
or this woman is dead.
6
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:19,580
One...
7
00:00:21,350 --> 00:00:22,940
Two...
8
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:29,870
Three!
9
00:00:31,170 --> 00:00:33,100
I'm right here!
10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,310
Why are you trying to hurt
these innocent people?
11
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:42,180
If you want to kill someone, kill me.
12
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:50,750
Who are you?
13
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:52,850
{\a6}[Prince Daeryangwon (future King Hyeonjong)]
14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,300
Unveil your masks if you
have nothing to hide.
15
00:00:54,310 --> 00:00:55,740
Kill him!
16
00:01:01,510 --> 00:01:03,270
Don't just stand there.
Run!
17
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,070
Run, Sunjae!
18
00:01:07,850 --> 00:01:10,070
Get him!
19
00:01:16,530 --> 00:01:18,000
Myeongil!
20
00:01:57,730 --> 00:01:59,960
Stop!
21
00:02:03,130 --> 00:02:04,730
Let's go!
22
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:08,190
Kill them!
23
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,430
Retreat!
24
00:03:18,140 --> 00:03:20,170
Let them go!
25
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,340
I've confirmed his identity!
26
00:03:28,150 --> 00:03:31,610
{\a6}[Gang Gamchan (Minister of the Office of Ceremony)]
27
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:34,800
Just as I thought,
28
00:03:36,770 --> 00:03:38,280
Minister Gang!
29
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,890
Thanks goodness you're here.
30
00:03:42,900 --> 00:03:46,130
My Prince, are you all right?
31
00:03:46,310 --> 00:03:53,280
They told us what happened at the temple.
Are you hurt anywhere?
32
00:03:53,290 --> 00:04:00,380
No, I'm fine.
Who were those men?
33
00:04:21,410 --> 00:04:26,330
You saved the prince, Master.
34
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:29,620
No.
35
00:04:28,110 --> 00:04:32,070
{\a6}[Jin Gwan]
36
00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:34,800
you came just in time and
37
00:04:34,810 --> 00:04:37,280
avoided a tragedy.
38
00:04:37,290 --> 00:04:45,540
But how did you know they were
coming and had the prince hide?
39
00:04:45,550 --> 00:04:51,700
I studied a bit of physiognomy
and astrology.
40
00:04:52,130 --> 00:04:56,560
Today, I noticed danger
on Prince Daeryang's face.
41
00:04:56,570 --> 00:05:02,850
Besides, you had told me in advance
to be prepared for something like this.
42
00:05:02,860 --> 00:05:07,110
So I had a secret tunnel
dug up under the temple.
43
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,830
Thank you, Master.
Thank you.
44
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:18,060
It's the Buddha looking out for him.
Merciful Buddha...
45
00:05:22,730 --> 00:05:27,710
So are you saying that the
Empress Dowager is planning to
46
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:33,450
depose the current Emperor and bring Prince Daeryang to the throne?
47
00:05:33,460 --> 00:05:39,770
Yes, that's why I'm here.
48
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:44,180
We could've had a great tragedy
had I been delayed.
49
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:57,290
And now that I know who is after him,
I can take the prince back to Gaegyeong.
50
00:05:57,300 --> 00:05:59,290
No, I can't let you do that.
51
00:05:59,430 --> 00:06:01,850
Why?
52
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:07,130
This place is no longer safe for
him now that they know he is here.
53
00:06:07,180 --> 00:06:12,210
But Gaegyeong is even
more dangerous for him.
54
00:06:12,420 --> 00:06:14,260
How so?
55
00:06:14,620 --> 00:06:19,340
From my observation of the stars,
56
00:06:19,350 --> 00:06:25,320
there will be a huge disturbance
in Gaegyeong in the near future.
57
00:06:26,110 --> 00:06:29,260
The prince will not be able to
58
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:32,820
ascend to the throne until this
disturbance is pacified.
59
00:06:32,830 --> 00:06:34,760
Now is not the time.
60
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,980
A disturbance?
What kind of disturbance do you foresee?
61
00:06:41,130 --> 00:06:48,930
That I do not know.
But you must leave the prince here.
62
00:06:48,940 --> 00:06:54,350
If you're concerned about his safety,
leave one of your men with him.
63
00:06:57,020 --> 00:06:59,140
Minister Gang.
64
00:06:59,150 --> 00:07:04,850
Unfortunately, there are dark clouds
over the future of this empire.
65
00:07:05,410 --> 00:07:11,830
There will be rivers of blood
and hills of corpses someday.
66
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,600
And it will be up to
you to save this empire.
67
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:23,280
You emanate the aura of the
Great Guardian of the Land.
68
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:32,010
You're too kind.
But I'm too old to assume such a role.
69
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:38,560
And the country's military is stronger
than ever, so you don't need to fear.
70
00:07:38,570 --> 00:07:44,780
No, you will see.
I assure you such day will come.
71
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,530
What is it?
72
00:08:02,540 --> 00:08:07,930
Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned
the officials to the council hall.
73
00:08:09,910 --> 00:08:14,460
He has? Why?
74
00:08:15,380 --> 00:08:20,100
I don't see Minister Gang and
the Finance Commissioner.
75
00:08:20,110 --> 00:08:24,590
We were unable to get in touch
with them on such short notice.
76
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,700
I have summoned you because
77
00:08:27,650 --> 00:08:32,270
{\a6}[Wang Song- King Mokjong (7th Ruler of Goryeo)]
78
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,980
I've reached an important decision.
79
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,990
Is this about the sharecropping system?
80
00:08:34,460 --> 00:08:37,680
{\a6}[Choi Wonshin (Vice Minister of the Office of Ceremony)]
81
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:45,260
No, this is more important.
82
00:08:48,810 --> 00:08:53,790
I am stepping down from the throne.
83
00:09:00,220 --> 00:09:01,970
Your Majesty...
84
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:04,900
I am befuddled.
85
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,640
{\a6}[Chae Choongsun (Minister of Investigation)]
86
00:09:04,910 --> 00:09:07,270
Step down from the throne?
87
00:09:07,370 --> 00:09:12,520
For what reason would you announce such shocking news?
88
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,020
Your Majesty.
89
00:09:15,030 --> 00:09:19,480
Is the Empress Dowager giving you pressure
90
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,190
{\a6}[Hwangbo Yui (Vice Minister of Finance)]
91
00:09:19,490 --> 00:09:22,150
over the sharecropping policy?
92
00:09:22,380 --> 00:09:24,870
This has nothing to with my mother.
93
00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:30,690
Then what other possible reason could
there be for you to surrender the throne?
94
00:09:27,910 --> 00:09:31,370
{\a6}[Kim Shimon(Minister of Domestic Affairs)]
95
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:33,730
You are our last stronghold, Your Majesty.
96
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:37,320
I beg you not to forsake us.
97
00:09:37,330 --> 00:09:40,890
Do not forsake us, Your Majesty!
98
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:46,250
This is irreversible
no matter what you say.
99
00:09:46,690 --> 00:09:48,100
Your Majesty.
100
00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:51,650
{\a6}[Dae Dosu (Minister of Punishment)]
101
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:51,210
The Empress Dowager may hold different
102
00:09:51,220 --> 00:09:53,500
political views, but this is not the answer.
103
00:09:53,510 --> 00:09:56,700
The throne cannot be abandoned at
104
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:58,780
one's will just as it cannot be
105
00:09:56,940 --> 00:10:00,230
{\a6}[Choi Hang (Royal Undersecretary)]
106
00:09:58,790 --> 00:10:01,780
acquired at one's will.
107
00:10:02,090 --> 00:10:06,550
I am not leaving because
of political differences.
108
00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:12,380
I am leaving because I am a reprobate
that does not deserve the throne.
109
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:16,570
Your Majesty, I don't understand.
110
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:21,610
I shared my bed with a man.
111
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,380
I beg your pardon?
112
00:10:25,390 --> 00:10:28,810
I had sexual relations with the Secretary
of the Office of Ceremony, Yu Han Gan.
113
00:10:32,250 --> 00:10:36,460
Don't you get it?
I committed sodomy.
114
00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:41,130
Do you still want me on this throne?
115
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:45,840
Or perhaps you'd like
to sleep with me as well.
116
00:10:54,180 --> 00:10:59,630
The Emperor said that at the conference hall?
117
00:10:54,770 --> 00:10:58,290
{\a6}[Empress Dowager Cheonchu]
118
00:10:59,660 --> 00:11:02,220
Yes, Your Highness.
119
00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:09,070
Your Highness, is it true?
120
00:11:10,740 --> 00:11:14,440
How are the ministers reacting to this?
121
00:11:14,450 --> 00:11:16,810
They are in disbelief.
122
00:11:16,820 --> 00:11:25,390
Many of them believe that the Emperor is
making this up to get himself deposed.
123
00:11:28,930 --> 00:11:32,360
Please tell me, Your Highness.
124
00:11:32,370 --> 00:11:35,030
Is it true?
125
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:40,870
Or is this a fabrication
like the ministers believe?
126
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:47,060
Whether it's true or not,
the result is the same.
127
00:11:47,900 --> 00:11:50,500
I don't understand what you mean.
128
00:11:51,390 --> 00:11:56,410
If the Emperor wants to leave
the throne so much ,
129
00:11:56,690 --> 00:12:03,620
we should let him leave for sake of the country.
130
00:12:04,030 --> 00:12:08,870
But Your Highness,
we do not have a successor.
131
00:12:10,010 --> 00:12:12,800
We have Prince Daeryang.
132
00:12:13,850 --> 00:12:15,800
Prince Daeryang?
133
00:12:18,530 --> 00:12:24,610
You were his royal tutor, so I'm sure
you know that he is qualified.
134
00:12:26,060 --> 00:12:28,050
Yes, but...
135
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:33,370
Minister Gang has already
gone to see the prince.
136
00:12:35,180 --> 00:12:37,830
So give up on the Emperor.
137
00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:42,230
I have.
138
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,130
It's a lie, isn't it?
139
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,180
About Yu Han Gan...
140
00:12:51,690 --> 00:12:54,710
It can't be true.
It can't.
141
00:12:55,890 --> 00:13:00,500
You don't have to lie to me.
142
00:12:57,790 --> 00:13:01,140
{\a6}[Empress Sunjeong]
143
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,770
If you want to leave the throne,
144
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,530
I will not fight you.
145
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:13,360
I'm sorry, Empress.
This was the only way.
146
00:13:14,430 --> 00:13:19,430
I had no other choice.
147
00:13:24,060 --> 00:13:26,540
You can't do this.
148
00:13:26,620 --> 00:13:31,220
Why? Why are you so cruel to me?
149
00:13:33,620 --> 00:13:35,410
I'm sorry.
150
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:39,020
Forgive me.
151
00:13:40,450 --> 00:13:43,980
No. I can't.
152
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,880
I can't forgive you.
153
00:13:47,110 --> 00:13:51,840
If it had been a woman...
154
00:13:52,050 --> 00:13:57,570
How could you?
155
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,380
Empress...
156
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:29,370
Don't. Don't get near me.
157
00:14:48,580 --> 00:14:50,140
Empress!
158
00:14:57,290 --> 00:15:00,840
Did you have to do this?
159
00:15:03,810 --> 00:15:07,610
Mother, you are here.
160
00:15:18,490 --> 00:15:22,980
Did you hate the throne that much?
161
00:15:25,970 --> 00:15:33,590
You did this on purpose, didn't you?
You did this to get yourself deposed.
162
00:15:34,910 --> 00:15:41,570
Was it that difficult being the Emperor?
163
00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:48,180
Yes, Mother.
This palace is hell to me.
164
00:15:49,240 --> 00:16:00,190
I couldn't stand the avaricious demons that
the throne attracts for another minute.
165
00:16:01,470 --> 00:16:05,130
Why didn't you tell me?
166
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:10,200
Why didn't you just open up to me
and tell me how you feel?
167
00:16:10,580 --> 00:16:16,040
Why did you make this foolish choice
that would bring self-destruction?
168
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:24,100
If I had told you, you would've
brushed it off as childish whining
169
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,220
and told me to endure it for Goryeo.
170
00:16:29,310 --> 00:16:32,390
Like you always have.
171
00:16:35,810 --> 00:16:37,360
Emperor...
172
00:16:40,290 --> 00:16:44,640
Mother, I have a request.
173
00:16:46,020 --> 00:16:51,410
Yu Han Gan is a pitiable man
I used for my own purpose.
174
00:16:52,330 --> 00:16:55,350
Spare him his life.
175
00:16:56,910 --> 00:17:02,980
And I would like Prince Daeryang
to be my successor.
176
00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:06,920
That is not your problem right now.
177
00:17:09,220 --> 00:17:12,500
Why did you do something so foolish?
178
00:17:12,810 --> 00:17:17,300
How about the disgrace and infamy
you will suffer through history?
179
00:17:19,510 --> 00:17:21,910
It doesn't matter.
180
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,520
This is the role I've been given
to play in history.
181
00:17:28,030 --> 00:17:30,280
So it's all right.
182
00:17:34,550 --> 00:17:38,140
I'm sorry that I could not
be the son that you wanted.
183
00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:46,340
I'm sorry that I could not
be the Emperor you wanted.
184
00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:52,200
I'm sorry, Mother.
185
00:17:58,390 --> 00:18:13,290
What have I done to you? I destroyed
you with my greed and ambition.
186
00:18:14,540 --> 00:18:19,660
No, Mother.
It's not your fault.
187
00:18:20,580 --> 00:18:26,330
My incompetence is to blame.
188
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:33,650
I'm very sorry, Mother.
189
00:18:47,410 --> 00:18:52,590
Song, my son...
190
00:19:16,890 --> 00:19:18,930
You failed again?
191
00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:20,910
Forgive me, sir.
192
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,670
Gang Gamchan showed
up with his men, and...
193
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,570
How does he show up every time as if
194
00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:28,530
{\a6}[Kim Chi Yang (Finance Commissioner)]
195
00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:29,810
he knows when we're going to strike?
196
00:19:30,300 --> 00:19:32,470
There is not time for this.
197
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,660
Gang Gamchan saw Sa Gamun's face.
198
00:19:34,180 --> 00:19:37,040
{\a6}[Duyan]
199
00:19:38,690 --> 00:19:40,370
What?
200
00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:45,130
You've allowed Gang Gamchan
to see who you are?
201
00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:47,420
I don't know what to say.
202
00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:50,740
I think we should raise our army and
203
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,780
{\a6}[Sa Gamun]
204
00:19:50,750 --> 00:19:54,420
make a preemptive move since our
identity has been compromised.
205
00:19:55,470 --> 00:19:58,630
Raise an army?
206
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,100
I'll explain later.
207
00:20:04,450 --> 00:20:07,930
My Lord, give me your command.
208
00:20:09,340 --> 00:20:10,750
My Lord.
209
00:20:12,350 --> 00:20:17,090
I want you two to go hide
at Shiwangsa for now.
210
00:20:17,670 --> 00:20:20,180
What are you going to do?
211
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,350
I'm going to see the Empress Dowager.
212
00:20:24,820 --> 00:20:26,060
You can't.
213
00:20:26,070 --> 00:20:29,810
If you go now, you'll be captured
by Gang Gamchan.
214
00:20:29,820 --> 00:20:31,010
I can't let you go.
215
00:20:31,020 --> 00:20:33,520
Do as I say.
It's an order!
216
00:20:33,530 --> 00:20:34,600
My Lord.
217
00:20:35,690 --> 00:20:42,540
I can't give up the
Empress Dowager like this.
218
00:20:43,830 --> 00:20:45,810
I can't.
219
00:21:06,190 --> 00:21:09,520
I'll pack.
Get Ryang ready.
220
00:21:12,970 --> 00:21:16,220
Answer me.
Raise an army?
221
00:21:16,230 --> 00:21:18,350
What is going on?
222
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:23,590
Sit down.
223
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,120
I'm a Shillan.
224
00:21:41,260 --> 00:21:42,800
What do you mean?
225
00:21:42,810 --> 00:21:46,380
Shilla crumbled almost
a hundred years ago.
226
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,400
We've been preparing all this time
with a royal descendant of Shilla
227
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,260
to reclaim the lost kingdom.
228
00:21:56,940 --> 00:22:05,630
Are you saying that Commissioner Kim is
a descendant of Shilla's royal house?
229
00:22:06,980 --> 00:22:08,480
That's right.
230
00:22:08,610 --> 00:22:17,540
My men and I are warriors that have vowed
to die for the resurrection of Shilla.
231
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,860
Another attempt on Prince Daeryang's life?
232
00:22:27,570 --> 00:22:31,020
Yes, Your Highness.
233
00:22:31,590 --> 00:22:35,450
And what happened?
Is the prince safe?
234
00:22:35,460 --> 00:22:37,300
Yes, Your Highness.
235
00:22:37,310 --> 00:22:43,460
Luckily, the head priest at Shingyeol
Temple had evacuated him in advance,
236
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:50,140
and my men and I got there just
in time to prevent a tragedy.
237
00:22:51,750 --> 00:22:55,860
Thanks heavens.
That's a relief.
238
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:05,440
Who were they?
Who keeps coming after Daeryang's life?
239
00:23:06,660 --> 00:23:15,640
Your Highness, this will shock you.
240
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,150
It's Finance Commissioner, Kim Chi Yang.
241
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,100
The Finance Commissioner?
242
00:23:29,220 --> 00:23:33,990
It can't be.
You're making a mistake.
243
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,130
He has no reason to hurt Prince Daeryang.
244
00:23:40,790 --> 00:23:42,940
But he does.
245
00:23:42,950 --> 00:23:48,640
He wants to bring
Prince Hwangju to the throne.
246
00:23:48,650 --> 00:23:54,230
No, he told me himself that a
Wang must preserve the royal line.
247
00:23:54,660 --> 00:24:02,110
Your Highness, Commissioner Kim will
say anything to further his own cause.
248
00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:09,420
No, this can't be true.
249
00:24:09,430 --> 00:24:14,080
He would never do this,
not to me.
250
00:24:15,210 --> 00:24:23,930
Don't do this, Minister Gang.
I'm not myself right now as it is.
251
00:24:24,700 --> 00:24:31,270
Your Highness, I saw the man
that attacked Prince Daeryang.
252
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:36,850
It was Commissioner Kim's
right hand man, Sa Gamun.
253
00:24:42,830 --> 00:24:51,250
Your Highness, did something
else happen while I was gone?
254
00:24:57,650 --> 00:25:03,050
Your Highness, Commissioner
Kim requests to see you.
255
00:25:14,360 --> 00:25:19,750
You have finally showed your
true colors, Commissioner.
256
00:25:20,210 --> 00:25:22,720
I don't understand what you mean.
257
00:25:24,050 --> 00:25:31,980
I saw the men that tried
to kill Prince Daeryang.
258
00:25:32,180 --> 00:25:36,130
You can't weasel out of this one.
259
00:25:36,140 --> 00:25:39,300
Oh, did you?
260
00:25:39,970 --> 00:25:45,330
I'm impressed.
You never disappoint me.
261
00:25:45,340 --> 00:25:48,480
But we'll have to talk about
this another time.
262
00:25:48,490 --> 00:25:51,690
I must see the Empress Dowager.
263
00:26:14,090 --> 00:26:17,010
Is it true?
264
00:26:19,780 --> 00:26:23,310
Is it true that you tried to
have Prince Daeryang killed?
265
00:26:26,810 --> 00:26:29,090
Yes, Your Highness.
266
00:26:31,110 --> 00:26:34,110
Why? For what?
267
00:26:34,380 --> 00:26:39,140
I'm sorry to have deceived you.
268
00:26:39,850 --> 00:26:47,330
But now that all is out in the open,
I will tell you how I really feel.
269
00:26:50,610 --> 00:26:59,740
I tried to get rid of Prince Daeryang to
put our son Prince Hwangju on the throne.
270
00:27:00,630 --> 00:27:05,240
So Minister Gang was
right about you all along.
271
00:27:05,950 --> 00:27:08,620
You said yourself that it would be wrong,
272
00:27:08,630 --> 00:27:11,260
that a Wang must preserve
the Imperial line.
273
00:27:11,270 --> 00:27:13,760
Were they all lies?
274
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:15,880
Yes.
275
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:21,870
I couldn't bring myself
to say how I really felt.
276
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:28,140
But why does it have to be a Wang?
277
00:27:28,150 --> 00:27:32,250
Why does the birthright to the throne
have to be limited to the paternal line?
278
00:27:32,260 --> 00:27:36,340
You are the ruler of this empire anyway.
279
00:27:36,350 --> 00:27:43,310
Instead of putting your nephew on the
throne, put your next of kin on the throne.
280
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:48,020
If his surname is a problem, let our
son change his surname to Wang.
281
00:27:48,030 --> 00:27:51,140
That's absurd.
282
00:27:51,490 --> 00:27:54,500
You dare suggest defying
the tradition of this land?
283
00:27:54,510 --> 00:27:57,430
Do you really believe the
ministers would accept this?
284
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,920
That's completely up to you.
285
00:28:00,930 --> 00:28:04,090
You broke with tradition when you changed
286
00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:07,040
the long-established sharecropping system
against the fierce opposition of the ministers.
287
00:28:07,050 --> 00:28:09,640
That was an unavoidable decision
to protect the people of this state.
288
00:28:09,650 --> 00:28:12,120
This is completely different.
289
00:28:12,130 --> 00:28:16,130
No, it is not.
This is for the people as well.
290
00:28:16,140 --> 00:28:19,450
Daeryangwon is the son of Gyeongjuwon
whom the Sillan descent officials tried
291
00:28:19,460 --> 00:28:21,360
persistently to bring to the throne.
292
00:28:21,370 --> 00:28:23,820
It's in the people's best interest
293
00:28:23,830 --> 00:28:27,860
to put your son on the throne
and build political stability.
294
00:28:27,870 --> 00:28:29,670
Stop talking gibberish!
295
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,640
Be honest for once.
296
00:28:31,790 --> 00:28:37,550
You just want the Imperial line
of Goryeo to be yours!
297
00:28:40,150 --> 00:28:47,730
It's partly true.
298
00:28:49,490 --> 00:28:59,580
I hated being looked upon with scorn
because of my Jurchen background.
299
00:28:59,590 --> 00:29:03,940
I hated not being able to see my
own son any time I wanted to.
300
00:29:03,950 --> 00:29:07,030
I wanted to stand proud before the
men that condemn our relationship
301
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,680
as the father of the Emperor.
302
00:29:09,690 --> 00:29:13,020
Is it wrong for a man to have such desire?
303
00:29:13,030 --> 00:29:16,310
Leave.
Leave this instant!
304
00:29:17,100 --> 00:29:27,840
Think about what we went through
together on the battlefield and in Liao.
305
00:29:28,610 --> 00:29:34,170
I know your dream better than anyone.
306
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,880
Please do not forsake me.
307
00:29:37,890 --> 00:29:43,060
Only I can help you realize
your cherished dreams.
308
00:29:43,070 --> 00:29:44,360
I do not want to hear this.
309
00:29:44,370 --> 00:29:46,630
Get out of my sight this instant!
310
00:29:47,490 --> 00:29:53,720
Above all, I love you.
311
00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:00,240
Do not turn me away, Your Highness.
312
00:30:00,850 --> 00:30:09,040
A terrible tragedy will strike if you do.
313
00:30:10,870 --> 00:30:13,850
There is no tragedy greater than this.
314
00:30:15,130 --> 00:30:21,490
I never want to see you again,
so get out and stay away from me!
315
00:30:26,770 --> 00:30:33,540
Let us talk openly about
what we should do about this.
316
00:30:36,690 --> 00:30:42,120
What is there to talk about when we
know what the Emperor has done?
317
00:30:42,810 --> 00:30:48,200
He must abdicate the throne.
318
00:30:48,210 --> 00:30:54,810
Who do you have in mind as his successor?
319
00:30:55,040 --> 00:31:00,480
Prince Daeryangwon of course.
320
00:31:02,020 --> 00:31:03,970
No.
321
00:31:04,550 --> 00:31:07,620
Prince Daeryang is young as well,
322
00:31:07,630 --> 00:31:10,860
so the Empress Dowager will continue
to hold power as a regent.
323
00:31:10,870 --> 00:31:16,670
Then the Empress Dowager's
sharecropping policy will be enforced.
324
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:20,540
We can't have that, absolutely not.
325
00:31:21,130 --> 00:31:25,310
I still find it hard to believe this true.
326
00:31:25,460 --> 00:31:29,990
Couldn't the Empress
Dowager be behind this?
327
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:31,890
What do you mean?
328
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:35,650
Empress Dowager could've
staged this whole thing to drive
329
00:31:35,660 --> 00:31:40,610
the Emperor out because he is fighting
her on the sharecropping issue.
330
00:31:40,620 --> 00:31:43,060
That couldn't be.
331
00:31:44,210 --> 00:31:50,930
I know she can play hardball, but
we're talking about her own son.
332
00:31:50,940 --> 00:31:57,640
Besides, his lover Yu Han Gan
was arrested and put in jail.
333
00:31:57,900 --> 00:32:04,460
She can have anyone arrested and
extract any kind of confession she wants.
334
00:32:04,470 --> 00:32:10,200
Whether it was a set up or not,
the Emperor confessed the perversion himself.
335
00:32:10,210 --> 00:32:13,100
We do not have an option
of letting it slide.
336
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:19,030
Prince Daeryang is not
such a bad choice actually.
337
00:32:19,370 --> 00:32:24,750
His father is Prince Gyeongjuwon,
so he is of Shillan descent.
338
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,600
Background is unimportant right now.
339
00:32:28,570 --> 00:32:35,490
Gang Gamchan has been Prince Daeryang's
guardian angel all this time.
340
00:32:35,500 --> 00:32:37,150
That's right.
341
00:32:37,860 --> 00:32:43,270
If he takes the throne,
Gang Gamchan will become powerful,
342
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:47,400
and since Gang is in cahoots
with the Empress Dowager,
343
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:52,650
our position will be weakened.
344
00:32:52,660 --> 00:32:54,360
Exactly.
345
00:32:55,110 --> 00:32:57,950
Whether he committed sodomy or not,
346
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,420
it's in our best interest for
the Emperor to stay in power.
347
00:33:03,130 --> 00:33:11,500
Or at least stop the sharecropping system
reform before he leaves the throne.
348
00:33:17,150 --> 00:33:21,530
Your Majesty, you must
take your herbal potion.
349
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,480
That's all right.
350
00:33:24,490 --> 00:33:26,440
Then...
351
00:33:26,540 --> 00:33:29,910
Please have some porridge.

consuming nothing but water.
355

I said that's all right!

Why did you want me here?
357
00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:56,420
His Highness has been refusing his meals
since his return from the temple
358
00:33:56,430 --> 00:33:59,730
causing his health to deteriorate.
359
00:34:00,290 --> 00:34:04,110
Then summon the physician.
360
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:12,220
And herbal potion has been prescribed,
but His Majesty is refusing that as well.
361

365
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,240
The herbal potion or the porridge?
366
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:48,020
Please look at me.
367
00:34:50,770 --> 00:34:55,200
Herbal potion it is.
Please drink it.
368
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:03,880
I am in this condition because
I've been taking osuksan.
369
00:35:05,410 --> 00:35:09,710
The narcotic that the former
King was addicted to?
370
00:35:12,190 --> 00:35:16,130
How? Why?
371
00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:18,680
I had to.
372
00:35:20,110 --> 00:35:29,800
I couldn't sleep with
a man with a clear head.
373
00:35:34,130 --> 00:35:40,250
So my condition can't be
relieved by an herbal potion.
374
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:47,080
I just need to endure the pain.
375

How much more will you hurt me?
378
00:36:06,810 --> 00:36:13,610
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, Empress.
379
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,740
Are you really?
380
00:36:19,980 --> 00:36:24,550
Are you really sorry?
381
00:36:28,830 --> 00:36:30,680
Yes.
382
00:36:30,940 --> 00:36:35,470
Then get through this.

You have to eat to get through this.

Does this mean you forgive me?
386

I can't live without you.
387
00:37:11,260 --> 00:37:21,840
So get through this so you
can heal my broken heart.
388

Empress...
389
00:37:27,500 --> 00:37:35,710
Please eat;
you need strength to fight the addiction.
390

391
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,610

Once this thing is sorted out,
402

the commissioner will get you
reinstated in a higher post.
403
00:38:57,310 --> 00:39:03,200
So you must never tell anyone about
your connection to the commissioner.

Do you understand?
405
00:39:04,780 --> 00:39:06,880
It's too late for that.
406
00:39:08,510 --> 00:39:13,940
I've already told the Emperor everything.

What? Like what?

That it was the Commissioner Kim
that ordered me to seduce him.

Are you out of your mind?
Why would you do such a thing?
410

I could not deceive the
man that I love any longer.
411
00:39:41,750 --> 00:39:44,540
You are out of your mind!
412
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,400
First you seduce the Emperor,
413
00:39:48,410 --> 00:39:52,360
and now you try to destroy the man
whom you owe your life to with this lie?
414
00:39:53,330 --> 00:39:55,440
Lie?
415
00:39:55,450 --> 00:40:04,110
You'll say anything to avoid death.
But no one will believe your words.
416
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:16,180
I won't mention the commissioner again.
417
00:40:19,660 --> 00:40:26,490
So let me see the Emperor one
more time before I die.

over your own son and the man you love?

It's bad enough that you've been
a spy for the commissioner.

How can you be so weak?

Don't be a fool.
It's too late for that.
453
00:43:38,990 --> 00:43:46,330
She knows that you tried to kill Prince
Daeryang, so you have no place in her life.
454
00:43:46,690 --> 00:43:51,000
She is already renounced you.
455
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:56,350
So will you die a useless death,
or will you fulfill the cherished

desires of your grandfather, your father
and all those that died for you?

If the Empress Dowager would forgive me,

I want to forget everything
and live a normal life.

00:49:12,070 --> 00:49:17,570
Your Majesty, give him a chance
to prove himself nonetheless.
523
00:49:18,050 --> 00:49:28,000
But if nothing happens in Goryeo, despite
his boastful talk, he should be punished.
524
00:49:32,850 --> 00:49:38,840
The Imperial Court is growing
increasingly hostile toward me?
525
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:38,170
{\a6}[Han Derang (Khitan Prime Minister)]
526
00:49:39,420 --> 00:49:41,590
Yes, Prime Minister.
527
00:49:40,660 --> 00:49:43,580
{\a6}[Yelu Dilie]
528
00:49:41,720 --> 00:49:49,100
The war hawks have been rising in power
since Xiao Baiya and Yelu Dilu returned.
529
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:54,390
It is to be expected since they
were called by the Emperor.
530
00:49:55,130 --> 00:50:01,470
Are you comfortable visiting me like this so often?
531
00:50:02,030 --> 00:50:07,020
You might fall out of the Emperor's favor.
532
00:50:07,770 --> 00:50:09,530
Don't worry, sir.
533
00:50:09,590 --> 00:50:16,180
I have come to know that you care
more about this empire than anyone.
534
00:50:16,220 --> 00:50:21,950
And I hold the firm belief that
you are on the right path.
535
00:50:23,450 --> 00:50:26,120
I appreciate that.
536
00:50:26,220 --> 00:50:31,750
But the Emperor and the others don't
believe you're telling the truth.
537
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:36,740
Perhaps you should let them in on
your conversation with Kim Chi Yang.
538
00:50:36,810 --> 00:50:39,200
No, I can't.
539
00:50:39,210 --> 00:50:41,100
If I do,
540
00:50:41,430 --> 00:50:46,880
the Emperor is certain to launch a full scale invasion
at the first sign of trouble in Goryeo.
541
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:51,580
I want to avoid an all out war.
542
00:50:52,180 --> 00:51:00,120
But if it's unavoidable, we must wait until
Dowager Cheonchu is out of the picture.
543
00:51:00,630 --> 00:51:05,950
By the way, have we heard
anything from Goryeo yet?
544
00:51:06,510 --> 00:51:08,310
No, not yet.
545
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,120
Are you worried?
546
00:51:12,900 --> 00:51:18,850
Yes, perhaps I am too old.
547
00:51:19,580 --> 00:51:22,160
I become increasingly afraid of war.
548
00:51:22,170 --> 00:51:27,930
But it's not the war itself but
defeat at war that I fear more.
549
00:51:28,620 --> 00:51:33,450
I may eventually be
forsaken by the Emperor.
550
00:51:34,020 --> 00:51:42,970
But I want to lay a foundation
for victory before I leave.
551
00:51:43,730 --> 00:51:51,430
That is the final service
I can render for Great Liao.
552
00:51:54,560 --> 00:52:01,900
Your Grace, there's something
going on in the Imperial Palace.
553
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:04,920
{\a6}[Lady Yunheung]
554
00:52:02,660 --> 00:52:05,620
What do you mean?
555
00:52:05,630 --> 00:52:10,300
I ran into a courtier at the
market place, and he told me
556
00:52:11,260 --> 00:52:16,000
that the Emperor announced he would
be stepping down from the throne.
557
00:52:17,460 --> 00:52:19,890
Why?
For what?
558
00:52:19,900 --> 00:52:22,180
I asked him why,
559
00:52:20,650 --> 00:52:23,600
{\a6}[Jo Sun ]
560
00:52:22,190 --> 00:52:25,100
but he didn't have any other information.
561
00:52:25,870 --> 00:52:28,540
This cannot be voluntary.
562
00:52:28,550 --> 00:52:31,280
Empress Dowager Cheonchu is
forcing him to leave so
563
00:52:31,290 --> 00:52:33,650
she could put Prince Hwangju
on the throne.
564
00:52:34,140 --> 00:52:39,000
Sure, that woman is capable of anything.
565
00:52:39,810 --> 00:52:44,910
Why she thinks and acts like
she owns the world.
566
00:52:40,470 --> 00:52:42,750
{\a6}[Court Lady Jo]
567
00:52:44,980 --> 00:52:46,720
Mother.
568
00:52:45,810 --> 00:52:49,230
{\a6}[Princess Jeong (Future Queen Weunjeong)]
569
00:52:46,730 --> 00:52:51,190
I asked you to please stay out
of political affairs now.
570
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:56,720
What happens in the palace
does not concern us.
571
00:52:56,730 --> 00:52:58,720
Don't be naive.
572
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,690
The only reason why we are alive now
is because the Emperor is protecting us.
573
00:53:03,090 --> 00:53:08,750
Once he is deposed and Prince
Hwangju takes the throne,
574
00:53:09,390 --> 00:53:13,460
we will not survive on this land.
575
00:53:14,740 --> 00:53:20,500
This must be stopped.
What do we do?
576
00:53:22,980 --> 00:53:25,560
Call Lord Kim Shimon.
577
00:53:25,690 --> 00:53:28,440
I must first find out exactly
what is happening.
578
00:53:29,730 --> 00:53:34,140
But will he agree to come here?
579
00:53:35,790 --> 00:53:43,530
Oh, he'll come.
He will have to come.
580
00:53:46,100 --> 00:53:50,530
It's time to call Prince Daeryang back.
581
00:53:52,550 --> 00:53:59,130
Do you really plan to depose the Emperor?
582
00:54:03,190 --> 00:54:10,420
But Your Highness, all of the
officials seem to oppose it.
583
00:54:11,260 --> 00:54:15,070
They're only worried about themselves.
584
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:22,260
The Emperor does not want to be here,
so we have no other choice.
585
00:54:22,900 --> 00:54:31,450
Then we must first deal with
Finance Commissioner Kim Chi Yang.
586
00:54:31,980 --> 00:54:36,360
How can we call Prince Daeryang
back when the man who tried to
587
00:54:36,370 --> 00:54:39,400
have him killed is still in the court?
588
00:54:40,720 --> 00:54:44,200
What am I to do?
589
00:54:44,210 --> 00:54:47,580
Commissioner Kim is
the father of my child.
590
00:54:47,690 --> 00:54:55,800
I can't have him arrested and locked up
without compromising my own morals.
591
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:00,670
That is why I can't reveal
this to the officials.
592
00:55:05,820 --> 00:55:10,740
Tell me, Minister Gang.
What do you suggest that I do?
593
00:55:11,380 --> 00:55:19,360
Then have Sa Gamun arrested first,
Your Highness.
594
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,990
And once his crime is
revealed without a doubt,
595
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,230
Commissioner Kim must
be punished as well.
596
00:55:28,570 --> 00:55:32,800
This is a matter of vital importance
to the welfare of the empire.
597
00:55:33,330 --> 00:55:36,470
I know this is hard for you,
598
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:45,400
but I cannot bring Prince Daeryang back
otherwise, even if my life depended on it.
599
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,550
Forgive me, Your Highness.
600
00:56:03,750 --> 00:56:07,740
I am to become the Emperor?
601
00:56:11,240 --> 00:56:15,420
That's absurd, Master.
It can't be true.
602
00:56:15,430 --> 00:56:20,810
Why do you think they
were after your life?
603
00:56:21,250 --> 00:56:26,350
They were forces that do
not want you on the throne.
604
00:56:27,340 --> 00:56:31,540
But I don't want to be an emperor.
605
00:56:31,990 --> 00:56:35,990
I'd rather shave my head
again and become a priest.
606
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,880
This is your destiny.
607
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:44,960
Your were destined to become
a ruler of Goryeo.
608
00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:49,160
That's why I had you grow out
your hair in the first place.
609
00:56:49,390 --> 00:56:53,310
- But how could I dare...
- It is destiny, I said.
610
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,560
You cannot defy it no matter how you try.
611
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,140
You must rise to the throne and
612
00:57:01,150 --> 00:57:06,280
work through trials and tribulations
to put the country on solid footing.
613
00:57:06,630 --> 00:57:10,150
That is your predestined fate.
614
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:21,320
Arrest Commissioner Kim's right-
hand man Sa Gamun, Your Highness?
615
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,660
{\a6}[Yu Bang]
616
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,580
Yes.
617
00:57:25,100 --> 00:57:29,080
Your Highness, why...?
618
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:34,950
Please don't ask details and just
arrest him and his wife, Duyan.
619
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:40,990
And keep Commissioner Kim
confined to his home.
620
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,900
Commissioner Kim?
621
00:57:58,730 --> 00:58:04,030
Kim Chi Yang and offender Sa Gamun, come
forth and receive the Imperial command!
622
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:11,980
Goodness gracious!
What is this twiddle-twattle?
623
00:58:11,990 --> 00:58:14,850
This is an Imperial command!
624
00:58:12,530 --> 00:58:15,320
{\a6}[Kim Hoon]
625
00:58:14,860 --> 00:58:16,840
Call the offenders out at once!
626
00:58:16,990 --> 00:58:19,980
Offenders? How dare you?!
627
00:58:18,340 --> 00:58:21,430
{\a6}[Yi Jujeong]
628
00:58:19,990 --> 00:58:23,970
Do you know where you are?
629
00:58:26,050 --> 00:58:31,020
Th-th-they are not here right now.
630
00:58:31,890 --> 00:58:34,370
{\a6}[Choi Ghi]
631
00:58:31,300 --> 00:58:35,830
Tell us the truth. Where are they?
632
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:43,750
My Lord, you must make a decision.
We're running out of time.
633
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,100
That's right, my Lord.
634
00:58:45,110 --> 00:58:50,000
Yu Han Gan has confessed to the
Emperor that you are behind his crime.
635
00:58:50,310 --> 00:58:52,870
Your identity will soon be exposed.
636
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:55,810
If we don't act quickly,
everything will go up in smoke.
637
00:58:55,820 --> 00:59:01,000
Empress Dowager has expelled me as well.
We do not have any other choice.
638
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:18,920
Contact the Prime Minister of Liao
and request military assistance.
639
00:59:18,930 --> 00:59:21,750
My Lord, then...
640
00:59:24,130 --> 00:59:26,050
Pay close attention.
641
00:59:26,500 --> 00:59:33,440
Sa Gamun, you will alert the soldiers and
the warrior monks that the day has come.
642
00:59:34,380 --> 00:59:36,010
Steward Mun.
643
00:59:36,020 --> 00:59:41,350
Go to Yang Kyu and Kim Sukheung and
tell them I must see them urgently.
644
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:47,750
And Sa Illa, I need you to bring Prince
Hwangju back here from the palace
645
00:59:47,820 --> 00:59:50,250
without the Empress Dowager finding out.
646
00:59:53,420 --> 00:59:55,130
At last...
647
00:59:56,280 --> 01:00:04,160
At last we will reclaim
the glory of Shilla!
648
01:00:04,170 --> 01:00:06,370
We will not disappoint you, my lord!
649
01:00:22,580 --> 01:00:24,000
Prime Minister.
650
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:31,070
Sir, Duyan's carrier
hawk delivered a message.
651
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:34,850
Kim Chi Yang is requesting assistance.
652
01:00:34,860 --> 01:00:36,300
Yes?
653
01:00:37,150 --> 01:00:40,060
I guess the time has finally come.
654
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:44,570
Sir, how many men are we to send?
655
01:00:45,100 --> 01:00:51,140
Order Yelu Chy of Bonghwang Fort
to rally an army of five thousand.
656
01:00:51,730 --> 01:00:55,600
Pardon? Is that all?
657
01:00:57,130 --> 01:01:02,170
Sir, perhaps we should alert the Emperor
and deploy the entire Imperial Army.
658
01:01:02,180 --> 01:01:04,270
We can't do that.
659
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:15,140
Our objective is to help Kim Chi Yang put
his son on the throne, not to start a war.
660
01:01:15,340 --> 01:01:17,360
Now deliver the command.
661
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:20,380
Yes, Prime Minister.
662
01:01:41,260 --> 01:01:48,120
The Emperor slept... with... a man?
663
01:01:49,570 --> 01:01:53,440
We don't know if it is really true,
664
01:01:53,980 --> 01:01:57,770
but he has indeed announce
he would step down from the throne.
665
01:02:00,500 --> 01:02:04,890
Then who would succeed him?
666
01:02:06,590 --> 01:02:11,610
Prince Daeryang is the
most likely candidate.
667
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,980
Not Prince Hwangju but Prince Daeryang?
668
01:02:17,990 --> 01:02:21,580
Yes, that�s what I'm told.
669
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:31,710
That means there is still hope for us!
670
01:02:32,150 --> 01:02:34,240
Yes, Your grace!
671
01:02:34,350 --> 01:02:40,620
You raised him when he was a child,
so he is practically your son!
672
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:46,810
Heaven has not forsaken us, Your Grace!
673
01:02:48,980 --> 01:02:53,440
Then I'll be leaving now.
674
01:02:56,480 --> 01:03:03,980
And I'd appreciate it if you
did not contact me again.
675
01:03:05,860 --> 01:03:08,380
This has to be the last time.
676
01:03:09,020 --> 01:03:13,830
If the Empress Dowager found out,
I'd be killed.
677
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:18,360
Now that's not very nice.
678
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:23,200
You knew all about Kim Milhwa.
679
01:03:23,580 --> 01:03:30,960
My father was executed and I spent
years in exile, but you were unscathed.
680
01:03:31,530 --> 01:03:36,470
I did not give you away although I was
subjected to wretched punishment,
681
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,250
so owe me a debt of gratitude.
682
01:03:39,510 --> 01:03:44,750
Don't you agree, Minister Kim?
683
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:06,320
General, a Khitan army
is advancing toward us!
684
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,800
Is this true?
They're marching south?
685
01:04:11,810 --> 01:04:13,490
Yes, they left Bonghwang Fort
686
01:04:13,500 --> 01:04:15,720
heading toward the Yelu River.
687
01:04:16,020 --> 01:04:18,140
How many of them are there?
688
01:04:18,150 --> 01:04:20,470
Approximately five thousand, sir.
689
01:04:20,860 --> 01:04:24,260
What?
Is that all?
690
01:04:24,410 --> 01:04:28,500
Then it must not be a war, sir.
691
01:04:29,300 --> 01:04:33,000
Prepare the troops at once.
We are going to the Yelu.
692
01:04:33,010 --> 01:04:34,650
Yes, General!
693
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:41,100
But shouldn't we alert the Imperial court?
694
01:04:41,110 --> 01:04:45,010
Yes, but let them know
that we do not need aid.
695
01:04:45,820 --> 01:04:50,020
We will stop them ourselves.
Who will to go Gaegyeong?
696
01:04:50,550 --> 01:04:52,420
I'll go, sir.
697
01:04:54,470 --> 01:05:03,830
It's not that I'm afraid of the Khitan.
I'm quick on my horse...
698
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,580
Welcome, my brothers.
699
01:05:36,950 --> 01:05:38,890
I've been waiting for you.
700
01:05:48,020 --> 01:05:50,830
They disappeared?
701
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,050
Yes, Your Highness.
702
01:05:52,060 --> 01:05:55,290
Not just Kim Chi Yang, but Sa Gamun
and his wife are gone as well.
703
01:05:55,300 --> 01:06:02,480
So we arrested his steward Yi Jujeong,
he doesn't seem to know anything.
704
01:06:06,490 --> 01:06:09,850
Very well.
You may go.
705
01:06:09,860 --> 01:06:11,380
Yes, sir.
706
01:06:14,580 --> 01:06:18,610
Do you think they fled?
707
01:06:18,950 --> 01:06:21,770
No, Your Highness.
708
01:06:22,460 --> 01:06:26,880
My guess is they're preparing
an overthrow.
709
01:06:27,730 --> 01:06:29,290
Pardon?
710
01:06:30,140 --> 01:06:35,640
They will take up arms and
attempt to seize the palace!

717
01:06:49,910 --> 01:06:55,280
Kim Chi Yang is much more
dangerous then you think.
718
01:06:55,290 --> 01:06:59,200
He killed Gang Jo's wife, Cheon Hyang Bi
and destroyed the Emperor.
719
01:06:59,210 --> 01:07:02,580
And he might be trying
to bring down Goryeo.
720
01:07:02,590 --> 01:07:05,010
Raise an army and capture
the Imperial Palace?
721
01:07:05,020 --> 01:07:06,160
Will you help?
722
01:07:06,170 --> 01:07:08,660
We will gladly serve
your great cause, sir.
723
01:07:08,670 --> 01:07:10,260
Give me your command.
724
01:07:10,270 --> 01:07:14,730
Take your army to Shiwangsa at
once and apprehend Kim Chi Yang!
725
01:07:14,740 --> 01:07:16,730
Khitan are marching to Goryeo?
726
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:17,810
Yes, Your Highness.
727
01:07:17,820 --> 01:07:18,900
He called in a foreign enemy!
728
01:07:18,940 --> 01:07:21,410
We are completely surrounded
by Kim Chi Yang's army!
729
01:07:21,420 --> 01:07:24,460
Are you saying we can't even call for help?
730
01:07:25,190 --> 01:07:30,520
