Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:09,490 --> 00:00:11,692
So what are you saying?
2
00:00:11,693 --> 00:00:15,196
That if we hadn't covered up this
filthy crimes and made a deal,
3
00:00:15,197 --> 00:00:18,599
Youngsil would never have
been given his post and
4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,801
the astronomy project
would be dead right now
5
00:00:20,802 --> 00:00:23,370
because Jo Malseng would've
snitched on us?
6
00:00:31,713 --> 00:00:33,714
Don't...
7
00:00:37,886 --> 00:00:43,190
And now he's taking the central
army to the northern states
8
00:00:43,558 --> 00:00:47,461
when the northern states
might as well be his home turf.
9
00:00:47,462 --> 00:00:49,864
Secretary Yi is going with him.
10
00:00:49,865 --> 00:00:52,633
This man is thinking about bringing
the King down from the throne.
11
00:00:52,634 --> 00:00:56,904
You think a helpless
desk jockey can stop him?
12
00:01:00,308 --> 00:01:01,876
Darn it!
13
00:01:17,926 --> 00:01:19,360
Stop it.
14
00:01:28,203 --> 00:01:29,670
Stop it!
15
00:01:30,205 --> 00:01:33,007
I said stop it!
16
00:01:34,342 --> 00:01:37,978
Stop what?
17
00:01:37,979 --> 00:01:39,513
How?
18
00:01:39,514 --> 00:01:41,081
Get a grip on yourself.
19
00:01:41,082 --> 00:01:44,485
Who knows what insane
truth will come up next?
20
00:01:46,453 --> 00:01:51,192
Hey, did any of you bastards
betray the country?
21
00:02:01,236 --> 00:02:03,170
Bastard!
22
00:02:04,339 --> 00:02:06,740
Was it fun?
23
00:02:06,741 --> 00:02:14,181
Did you enjoy watching me groveling
to that bastard Jo Malseng?
24
00:02:14,182 --> 00:02:20,087
Was it fun for you when I said things like
25
00:02:20,088 --> 00:02:26,827
"He's a decent guy", "I'm impressed"
and "He has a candid side."?
26
00:02:33,535 --> 00:02:37,037
Was it fun to watch, you bastard?
27
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:44,612
There's not one
single normal man in this freaking place!
28
00:02:50,218 --> 00:02:51,485
Ogen?
29
00:02:54,723 --> 00:02:56,190
What is it?
30
00:02:57,392 --> 00:03:00,461
... Sir!
31
00:03:19,748 --> 00:03:21,749
Your Grace.
32
00:03:52,347 --> 00:03:56,684
Would you go on a trip with me?
33
00:04:06,695 --> 00:04:07,761
Boo!
34
00:04:14,803 --> 00:04:20,140
Later... Let's do it later...
35
00:04:22,577 --> 00:04:30,384
We will talk later,
we will take that trip later,
36
00:04:30,385 --> 00:04:37,758
and perhaps I can grant
you your wish later, too.
37
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:42,830
We'll do everything... later...
38
00:04:44,466 --> 00:04:50,804
Our good daughter Jeongso
39
00:04:50,805 --> 00:04:55,776
always says "okay" to everything.
40
00:05:00,348 --> 00:05:04,118
She's always been such a tolerant
and patient little girl.
41
00:05:06,321 --> 00:05:14,961
Why did she let go of Mommy's
hand so quickly today?
42
00:05:17,232 --> 00:05:20,800
She's never defied me before.
43
00:05:20,801 --> 00:05:30,044
She always waited and hung in there like
a trooper until I said it's okay to let go.
44
00:05:54,301 --> 00:05:59,673
This is an unfamiliar picture.
45
00:06:03,178 --> 00:06:08,782
She hungered for her father's affection.
46
00:06:10,318 --> 00:06:25,232
She yearned to be in your arms,
and she's finally getting her wish.
47
00:06:28,403 --> 00:06:35,476
I always thought there
would be a tomorrow...
48
00:07:09,244 --> 00:07:10,744
Let's do it.
49
00:07:13,281 --> 00:07:15,282
You're right.
50
00:07:15,283 --> 00:07:19,052
Let's restore Lord Shim On's name and
prosecute those accountable for his death.
51
00:07:20,221 --> 00:07:26,426
Jo Malseng is the one who forced the
King to authorize the unjust sentence.
52
00:07:26,427 --> 00:07:28,295
Charge him with bribery, too.
53
00:07:28,296 --> 00:07:35,035
He had Lord Shim Killed to protect
his power so he could protect his wealth.
54
00:07:37,939 --> 00:07:43,777
Prosecuting judge was Yu Jeonghyun, and
Huh Jo and Byun Gaeryang made the arrest.
55
00:07:43,778 --> 00:07:45,179
Huh?
56
00:07:46,848 --> 00:07:50,551
Do we have to involve Director Byun?
57
00:07:50,552 --> 00:07:52,419
I'm one of them, too.
58
00:07:52,420 --> 00:07:56,590
So call for dismissal of Huh Jo
and Byun Gaeryang as well.
59
00:07:56,591 --> 00:07:57,691
But...
60
00:07:57,692 --> 00:07:59,226
Do it.
61
00:08:00,461 --> 00:08:04,765
We can't win without sacrifice.
62
00:08:07,635 --> 00:08:09,536
But this is...
63
00:08:10,071 --> 00:08:13,440
Don't look at me. He's right.
64
00:08:14,975 --> 00:08:19,979
I'll get the Inspector General moving,
so you guys take the Censors Office.
65
00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:23,250
We need investigation orginizations and
censorate officials involved
66
00:08:23,251 --> 00:08:25,419
to immobilize them simultaneously.
67
00:08:27,256 --> 00:08:28,677
I'm...
68
00:08:30,391 --> 00:08:31,925
... against it.
69
00:08:34,128 --> 00:08:37,497
Don't be swayed by emotions.
We don't like this anymore than...
70
00:08:37,498 --> 00:08:43,003
I'm against dredging up Lord
Shim's restoration on the table.
71
00:08:43,004 --> 00:08:46,173
But why?
72
00:08:46,174 --> 00:08:50,611
His Majesty held back.
His daughter was dying.
73
00:08:50,612 --> 00:08:56,250
It was her last wish,
but he still held back.
74
00:08:57,085 --> 00:08:59,519
He didn't want the fight.
75
00:09:00,655 --> 00:09:03,257
Are you sure it's not because
he needed these men?
76
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:11,798
Whether or not they are responsible for
his father-in-law's death, he needs them.
77
00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:15,669
Why does he need them?
For what?
78
00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:22,542
To make sorted deals in secret rooms
and undermine the government?
79
00:09:22,543 --> 00:09:30,183
They're more capable than we are.
You know that.
80
00:09:30,184 --> 00:09:34,521
Then they should at least
show sincere remorse!
81
00:09:37,025 --> 00:09:41,995
Lord Shim was a victim
of closed-door politics.
82
00:09:42,964 --> 00:09:46,733
They put him in a mask of a traitor
behind closed door and killed him.
83
00:09:49,337 --> 00:09:52,439
And now we're forced to make
deals behind close doors and
84
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:58,512
over up corruption just to
keep the government running
85
00:09:58,513 --> 00:10:05,519
because we're neglecting to
settle this disgusting past.
86
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:17,764
The King has lost his daughter.
It's hard enough for him as it is.
87
00:10:17,765 --> 00:10:26,106
We can't let her death be in vain
so he will gather strength.
88
00:11:02,510 --> 00:11:04,311
Your Majesty.
89
00:11:04,312 --> 00:11:07,948
A mortician is here
from the state funeral office.
90
00:11:10,752 --> 00:11:12,519
Your Majesty...
91
00:11:19,527 --> 00:11:23,430
I will tell them
to come back later.
92
00:11:23,431 --> 00:11:24,664
No.
93
00:11:27,935 --> 00:11:29,836
That won't be necessary.
94
00:11:33,241 --> 00:11:42,582
Let the child go now.
95
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,488
I want to release her.
96
00:11:49,924 --> 00:11:55,662
I don't want her trapped
in this palace anymore.
97
00:12:05,072 --> 00:12:10,977
We can't rectify this
government without purging corruption.
98
00:12:11,712 --> 00:12:16,716
If this closed-door politics continue,
any one of us could be the next victim.
99
00:12:18,286 --> 00:12:24,891
If a man becomes a political scapegoat,
his family becomes a victim as well.
100
00:12:26,494 --> 00:12:36,102
Please remember the dying wish of a
young princess whose righteous and
101
00:12:36,103 --> 00:12:41,474
pure-hearted dream of restoring her
innocent grandmother's freedom was
102
00:12:41,475 --> 00:12:43,710
shot down and rejected.
103
00:13:04,866 --> 00:13:10,904
History will remember your
patriotism for a long, long time.
104
00:13:20,348 --> 00:13:22,782
Inspector General's Office
105
00:13:34,262 --> 00:13:36,463
What are you men doing?
106
00:13:37,798 --> 00:13:40,233
Rectifying history.
107
00:13:42,770 --> 00:13:44,604
Are you out of your minds?
108
00:14:09,797 --> 00:14:11,197
A morning meeting?
109
00:14:11,766 --> 00:14:15,135
You mean His Majesty is
at the audience hall?
110
00:14:15,136 --> 00:14:16,970
Yes, sir.
111
00:14:16,971 --> 00:14:18,705
Oh, dear...
112
00:14:18,706 --> 00:14:20,941
I had urged him to put the meetings
113
00:14:20,942 --> 00:14:23,610
on hold for a few days for
the princess's funeral...
114
00:14:23,611 --> 00:14:29,549
His Majesty knows that
we can't afford to do that right now.
115
00:14:29,550 --> 00:14:35,722
He remembered in his state of mind that
116
00:14:35,723 --> 00:14:41,828
we need his final authorization
to send out the central army?
117
00:14:47,068 --> 00:14:50,070
I'm afraid the central army
isn't going anywhere with
118
00:14:50,071 --> 00:14:52,739
or without the King's final authorization.
119
00:14:53,507 --> 00:14:55,709
Whatever do you mean?
120
00:15:03,050 --> 00:15:05,518
They're rectifying history.
121
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:11,691
They want to restore the good name
of Shim On, the King's father-in-law.
122
00:15:11,692 --> 00:15:12,959
What?
123
00:15:14,395 --> 00:15:18,898
This is kill list, so take a look.
124
00:15:19,900 --> 00:15:23,470
The Inspector General and the Censorate
Office is churning out petitions,
125
00:15:23,471 --> 00:15:31,778
so no one on this list will be going
anywhere until this matter is resolved.
126
00:15:58,205 --> 00:15:59,939
Is this your work?
127
00:16:07,515 --> 00:16:09,182
Were in the middle of a research, sir.
128
00:16:09,183 --> 00:16:11,017
What is this?
129
00:16:14,522 --> 00:16:17,991
Would you read back the part that
you feel is false in that statement?
130
00:16:18,959 --> 00:16:22,629
Don't you know the state
this county is in right now?
131
00:16:24,065 --> 00:16:30,336
In rectifying history, there is
no better time than the present.
132
00:16:30,337 --> 00:16:34,908
What are you after?
What do you want?
133
00:16:34,909 --> 00:16:39,412
Political cleansing of course.
134
00:16:42,950 --> 00:16:44,718
Those who turned a blind eye to the truth,
135
00:16:44,719 --> 00:16:46,186
those who aided in perversion,
136
00:16:46,187 --> 00:16:47,520
whose who cowardly stayed in silence,
137
00:16:47,521 --> 00:16:49,789
they all have to be eliminated...
138
00:16:50,958 --> 00:16:53,359
... including myself.
139
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:54,994
Director Byun.
140
00:16:59,366 --> 00:17:01,334
Can you see this through to the end?
141
00:17:02,703 --> 00:17:03,903
Director.
142
00:17:03,904 --> 00:17:06,506
If you're going to do this, do it right.
143
00:17:57,857 --> 00:18:00,360
My father's restoration?
144
00:18:00,361 --> 00:18:03,263
The Hall of Worthies, Inspector General
145
00:18:03,264 --> 00:18:06,533
and the Censorate Office
are working on this together,
146
00:18:06,534 --> 00:18:09,969
so there is hope.
147
00:18:09,970 --> 00:18:16,643
Is this His Majesty's decision?
148
00:18:20,548 --> 00:18:28,254
Of course not.
He wouldn't be able to make such decision.
149
00:18:29,790 --> 00:18:31,491
Your Highness...
150
00:18:32,459 --> 00:18:45,238
After all, he was the one that
authorized my father's arrest.
151
00:19:42,096 --> 00:19:47,267
Jeongso loved you so very much.
152
00:19:48,335 --> 00:19:53,706
I'm sure she wants you more
than anyone else to send her off...
153
00:19:55,576 --> 00:20:03,182
But I can't even ask you to come in
out of fear of public eyes.
154
00:20:04,818 --> 00:20:08,721
I finally feel at ease.
155
00:20:10,157 --> 00:20:16,396
You will be a good mother to the people.
156
00:20:24,071 --> 00:20:25,638
My child.
157
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,150
Don't blame yourself.
This is not your fault.
158
00:21:15,388 --> 00:21:17,056
Mother...
159
00:21:18,058 --> 00:21:20,259
It's not your fault.
160
00:21:27,934 --> 00:21:33,539
I-I killed her, Mother.
161
00:21:37,978 --> 00:21:45,584
I sat there with my phony
smile and a blackened heart
162
00:21:45,585 --> 00:21:53,759
loathing the gods, hating, cursing
and resenting my own husband,
163
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,831
even my sick dying father-in law.
164
00:22:08,809 --> 00:22:11,344
I'm getting punished, Mother.
165
00:22:12,646 --> 00:22:21,587
Heaven struck my poor child
to punish my evil heart.
166
00:22:22,789 --> 00:22:26,392
It's my fault.
I killed her.
167
00:22:26,393 --> 00:22:30,596
I killed my own baby.
168
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:43,576
No, it's not your fault!
169
00:22:44,744 --> 00:22:47,847
Oh, my poor child...
170
00:22:51,585 --> 00:22:56,155
Why are the gods so cruel to you?
171
00:22:56,156 --> 00:22:59,959
Oh, my poor child...
172
00:23:00,961 --> 00:23:10,035
How will you endure such a painful loss?
My poor child...
173
00:23:33,794 --> 00:23:36,695
You must deny the petition.
174
00:23:42,869 --> 00:23:44,603
Deny the petition?
175
00:23:44,604 --> 00:23:49,275
Only a tyrant denies
the censorate's petition.
176
00:23:49,276 --> 00:23:52,545
Do I have to explain our
current state of affairs?
177
00:23:52,546 --> 00:23:57,016
Are the censors wrong?
178
00:23:57,017 --> 00:23:57,850
Your Majesty...
179
00:23:57,851 --> 00:24:00,352
I'd like to hear what you think.
180
00:24:02,322 --> 00:24:06,525
Was Lord Buwon Shim On
a criminal of high treason?
181
00:24:16,236 --> 00:24:23,909
No, he was not.
182
00:24:23,910 --> 00:24:32,084
Then you shouldn't be urging
me to deny the petition.
183
00:24:32,085 --> 00:24:38,224
We cannot tie down Huh Jo, Byun
Gaeryang and Jo Malseng who are
184
00:24:38,225 --> 00:24:49,235
scheduled to be dispatched to Ming
and to the border states over this.
185
00:24:51,204 --> 00:24:52,771
Secretary Yun.
186
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:56,108
Yes, Your Majesty.
187
00:24:56,943 --> 00:25:02,548
I cannot find just cause
to deny this petition,
188
00:25:02,549 --> 00:25:08,187
so have them choose alternate men
to be dispatched for the assignment.
189
00:25:08,188 --> 00:25:09,722
Your Majesty...
190
00:25:29,042 --> 00:25:32,377
Do you think anyone else can do this job?
191
00:25:32,378 --> 00:25:34,280
We'll find someone that can.
192
00:25:36,215 --> 00:25:40,286
We don't have a lot of time.
193
00:25:40,287 --> 00:25:42,588
I know, sir.
194
00:25:54,935 --> 00:25:59,371
These jobs are for Jo Malseng and Huh Jo.
There is no one else.
195
00:26:00,774 --> 00:26:04,843
Don't be like this, sir.
You're being unreasonable.
196
00:26:04,844 --> 00:26:08,079
His Majesty started this.
197
00:26:08,148 --> 00:26:13,552
His Majesty has no grounds
to deny the petition on.
198
00:26:13,553 --> 00:26:16,755
You mean he has no
desire to deny the petition.
199
00:26:16,756 --> 00:26:21,093
He wants political revenge.
That's the bottom line.
200
00:26:21,094 --> 00:26:27,666
Don't use that word revenge in haste.
Lord Shim On was not guilty.
201
00:26:27,667 --> 00:26:29,835
If he was not guilty,
202
00:26:29,836 --> 00:26:33,472
everyone who accused him of high
treason and put him to death is.
203
00:26:33,473 --> 00:26:36,442
If this is not revenge what is?
204
00:26:38,678 --> 00:26:40,779
Deliver my message to the King.
205
00:26:40,780 --> 00:26:47,286
We will accept this fight.
We got his message loud and clear.
206
00:26:47,287 --> 00:26:52,091
Now are you going back
into the secret room again?
207
00:26:53,026 --> 00:26:58,897
Should I call the inspector general
and the censors to the saloon for you?
208
00:26:58,898 --> 00:27:04,103
They are powerful men, so it'll cost
you a pretty penny to buy them off.
209
00:27:05,372 --> 00:27:09,341
Thanks for your concern.
210
00:27:11,144 --> 00:27:18,350
Minister Yu, we shared a same
dream back in Gyeongsung.
211
00:27:24,190 --> 00:27:26,525
Do you remember?
212
00:27:44,644 --> 00:27:49,915
Why are they trying to dredge up the past?
213
00:27:51,551 --> 00:27:55,654
Is this most likely to be the King's work?
214
00:27:55,655 --> 00:28:00,626
He's been patient considering
that he waited six years.
215
00:28:00,627 --> 00:28:04,229
And the Princess's death...
216
00:28:07,167 --> 00:28:11,804
A dead child is very powerful.
217
00:28:11,805 --> 00:28:16,975
Well, now that we know who we're
fighting all we have to do is win.
218
00:28:35,562 --> 00:28:40,532
Are you here to dissuade me?
219
00:28:40,533 --> 00:28:47,773
I know you feel like you
have no other choice, but...
220
00:28:47,774 --> 00:28:54,246
Denying the censors' petition is the
most radical use of absolute power.
221
00:28:59,761 --> 00:29:07,993
You are the one who said the King
must not wield absolute power.
222
00:29:09,162 --> 00:29:12,998
And you are the one who said
you wouldn't discard talent
223
00:29:12,999 --> 00:29:16,902
even if they committed a shameful crime.
224
00:29:16,903 --> 00:29:21,140
You said power is a sword.
225
00:29:33,987 --> 00:29:37,322
Are you intent on destroying them?
226
00:29:37,323 --> 00:29:41,160
My father-in-law was not a traitor.
227
00:29:41,161 --> 00:29:47,766
So, my mother-in-law
has no reason to suffer.
228
00:29:49,269 --> 00:29:54,973
I've been turnings blind eye to
this simple truth that even a little
229
00:29:54,974 --> 00:29:59,912
girl can see for much too long.
230
00:30:00,747 --> 00:30:02,915
Do you know why?
231
00:30:02,916 --> 00:30:08,821
You need these men
despite what they've done.
232
00:30:08,822 --> 00:30:13,392
That's not the only reason.
233
00:30:15,995 --> 00:30:17,963
I was afraid.
234
00:30:19,699 --> 00:30:21,166
Your Majesty...
235
00:30:22,502 --> 00:30:32,477
What if the experienced veteran
politicians rallied against me?
236
00:30:33,613 --> 00:30:39,218
Would I be able to fight them back?
237
00:30:40,119 --> 00:30:44,489
That's what I was nervous and afraid of.
238
00:30:54,300 --> 00:31:07,112
That's why I hesitated when my
daughter wanted this so badly
239
00:31:07,113 --> 00:31:16,054
and now she's gone before
I could do anything for her.
240
00:31:21,261 --> 00:31:26,899
I am done ignoring the truth.
241
00:31:28,034 --> 00:31:34,506
I will order former Prime Minister
Shim On's honor to be restored.
242
00:31:42,615 --> 00:31:46,251
Leave the capital city?
243
00:31:46,252 --> 00:31:49,354
Two weeks should be enough, Mother.
244
00:31:49,355 --> 00:31:53,191
Enough? What do you mean?
245
00:31:54,027 --> 00:31:56,128
Restoration of Shim On's honor.
246
00:31:56,129 --> 00:31:59,998
It should be decided one
way or another by that time.
247
00:32:00,566 --> 00:32:03,101
Which side do you think will prevail?
248
00:32:04,103 --> 00:32:09,808
Yu Jeonghyun, Jo Malseng and
Huh Jo are no ordinary men.
249
00:32:10,476 --> 00:32:14,379
You think they will prevail?
250
00:32:16,015 --> 00:32:20,385
The Hall of Worthies will request my help.
251
00:32:20,386 --> 00:32:27,559
After all, I'm a witness who confirmed Shim
On's loyalty on the diplomatic mission.
252
00:32:29,395 --> 00:32:31,763
Lie low and bide time...
253
00:32:31,764 --> 00:32:39,638
I don't want to make enemies of
competent and powerful retainers.
254
00:32:55,221 --> 00:32:59,925
The Emperor's military activities
for the past five years, files on
255
00:32:59,926 --> 00:33:03,996
the Imperial grandchildren including
the Imperial Prince Zhu Gaochi.
256
00:33:03,997 --> 00:33:07,866
I've collected just about all of
the information we need on Ming,
257
00:33:07,867 --> 00:33:12,137
so you shouldn't have a hard time
figuring out their political situation.
258
00:33:13,039 --> 00:33:16,608
Why are you turning
these files over to me?
259
00:33:16,609 --> 00:33:20,245
You will have to go to Ming instead of me.
260
00:33:20,246 --> 00:33:24,449
I recommend Secretary
Yun Hwe as your assistant.
261
00:33:35,795 --> 00:33:42,100
I am turning over the right of command of
the entire army to General Choi Yundeok.
262
00:33:49,709 --> 00:33:56,281
I believe General Choi should
lead the central army to the
263
00:33:56,282 --> 00:33:59,184
northern states tomorrow.
264
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:05,057
With war clouds hanging
heavy over the border,
265
00:34:05,058 --> 00:34:08,226
deployment of the troops
cannot be delayed.
266
00:34:09,062 --> 00:34:13,832
Now let us vote on the issue.
267
00:34:15,435 --> 00:34:18,336
It is the most appropriate action.
268
00:34:18,337 --> 00:34:19,738
General.
269
00:34:19,739 --> 00:34:22,574
We will serve your command.
270
00:34:36,556 --> 00:34:44,329
Councilor Hwang Hee, Royal Secretary
Yun Hwe and Choi Yundeok?
271
00:34:44,330 --> 00:34:53,872
They are our best alternative if not
Huh Jo, Byun Gaeryang and Jo Malseng.
272
00:34:58,911 --> 00:35:03,814
Your list is very interesting.
273
00:35:03,815 --> 00:35:07,586
It's a list His Majesty cannot reject.
274
00:35:09,088 --> 00:35:11,723
I'm looking forward to your
performance, Lord Hwang.
275
00:35:11,724 --> 00:35:14,025
Good luck.
276
00:35:14,026 --> 00:35:19,997
And what do you men intend to
do while we are away fighting?
277
00:35:19,998 --> 00:35:26,404
Well, I think we have our
work cut out for us right here.
278
00:35:27,707 --> 00:35:29,407
What's your real motive?
279
00:35:29,408 --> 00:35:32,744
You're getting rid of us so you could
gobble up the Hall of Worthies,
280
00:35:32,745 --> 00:35:35,046
the Inspector General and
the Censorate Office!
281
00:35:35,047 --> 00:35:40,552
Did you really think we'd sit helplessly and
let a bunch of juvenile minions crush us?
282
00:35:40,553 --> 00:35:45,122
- Lord Huh!
- Be quiet and listen.
283
00:35:46,025 --> 00:35:48,160
We're not enjoying this either.
284
00:35:48,161 --> 00:35:53,598
We don't have the time or the
desire for this war of attrition.
285
00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:58,303
Don't forget.
We didn't start this fight.
286
00:36:01,407 --> 00:36:05,110
We intent to demolish them.
287
00:36:06,512 --> 00:36:11,850
After all, we can't put the country
in the hands of children who can't
288
00:36:11,851 --> 00:36:15,253
even prioritize what is
important for the state.
289
00:36:25,798 --> 00:36:33,205
Councilor Hwang, Secretary Yun
and General Choi Yundeok as well?
290
00:36:33,206 --> 00:36:38,577
We have a national security crisis.
Someone has to attend to it.
291
00:36:41,047 --> 00:36:44,416
So they're going to send our
top men away to deal with
292
00:36:44,417 --> 00:36:48,553
the national crisis then gang up on
the rest of us while they're gone.
293
00:36:49,222 --> 00:36:54,125
It's a double check!
294
00:36:54,893 --> 00:36:57,896
I'm really impressed!
295
00:36:57,897 --> 00:36:59,497
There's a reason why
296
00:36:59,498 --> 00:37:02,767
these men have survived the
Royal court as long as they have!
297
00:37:02,768 --> 00:37:07,405
How can you praise them right now?
298
00:37:08,373 --> 00:37:13,445
This is going to be a difficult fight.
Are you up to it?
299
00:37:13,446 --> 00:37:19,217
We will die fighting,
but we won't give up, sir.
300
00:37:35,167 --> 00:37:40,472
So, then, who's going to
be sent to Ming now?
301
00:37:41,107 --> 00:37:42,907
They might hold off the mission
302
00:37:42,908 --> 00:37:48,713
indefinitely since neither side can
afford to send anyone away right now.
303
00:37:49,315 --> 00:37:52,017
Why do they make things so complicated?
304
00:37:52,018 --> 00:37:54,252
Does it really matter who goes?
305
00:37:55,288 --> 00:37:58,156
Youngsil and I have to go back there soon.
306
00:37:59,292 --> 00:38:03,795
Why are you so anxious to
go to Ming again?
307
00:38:03,796 --> 00:38:05,530
What's the reason?
308
00:38:07,065 --> 00:38:14,139
Oh... it's just that there're some
books I am anxious to get...
309
00:38:16,208 --> 00:38:22,314
Not just astronomy books, but a
few delicious adult books as well.
310
00:38:22,315 --> 00:38:25,617
My man!
311
00:39:08,828 --> 00:39:11,730
Worried about the girl
you left behind in Ming?
312
00:39:16,202 --> 00:39:18,503
Don't worry too much.
313
00:39:20,039 --> 00:39:21,740
I'm sure it's nothing.
314
00:40:27,039 --> 00:40:32,677
Your Highness, I've come to
make a very difficult request.
315
00:40:46,392 --> 00:40:52,863
Why do you look so troubled when you've
resolved to restore Lord Shim's honor?
316
00:40:54,366 --> 00:41:00,071
Yu Jeonghyun, Huh Jo, Jo Malseng...
317
00:41:00,072 --> 00:41:04,209
I will have to renounce quite a few men.
318
00:41:05,044 --> 00:41:09,113
If majority of them are your opposition.
319
00:41:09,114 --> 00:41:17,889
It is not easy to convince myself that
I'm doing the right thing for the country.
320
00:41:49,522 --> 00:41:55,293
Six years ago,
I buried my father in cold soil.
321
00:41:56,428 --> 00:42:03,201
And today I buried my
young child in my heart.
322
00:42:06,405 --> 00:42:09,774
My good husband must've felt my sorrow
323
00:42:09,775 --> 00:42:15,246
because he says he will
give me retribution.
324
00:42:16,681 --> 00:42:19,851
Isn't this most kind of him?
325
00:42:24,423 --> 00:42:28,826
What is my father to you, Lord Yu?
326
00:42:29,461 --> 00:42:34,464
Just another criminal of high treason?
327
00:42:36,268 --> 00:42:42,138
Is that why you oppose my father's
restoration against the King's wish?
328
00:42:44,843 --> 00:42:50,548
The King has fired his arrow
and I don't intend to intervene.
329
00:42:52,684 --> 00:42:54,919
Answer my question carefully.
330
00:42:55,854 --> 00:43:02,760
I might have a hand in your
future depending on your answer.
331
00:43:07,032 --> 00:43:08,866
Answer my question.
332
00:43:10,168 --> 00:43:17,975
Is my father still a criminal
of high treason to you?
333
00:43:25,050 --> 00:43:27,651
That's what he said about you.
334
00:43:29,688 --> 00:43:35,960
My father always said
you were a cautious man.
335
00:43:35,961 --> 00:43:45,870
Perhaps that's why he still wants
you to answer that question
336
00:43:45,871 --> 00:43:49,473
differently than his daughter would.
337
00:43:51,743 --> 00:43:53,377
Your Highness...
338
00:44:04,089 --> 00:44:11,762
This is the official position of the Queen's
office which reflects my father's wishes.
339
00:44:12,931 --> 00:44:14,531
Copies have been sent to
the Inspector General,
340
00:44:14,532 --> 00:44:16,801
the Censorate Office and
the Hall of Worthies.
341
00:44:16,802 --> 00:44:21,439
I will expect nothing but respect
and obedience.
342
00:44:31,450 --> 00:44:35,753
I declare to thee, as the Queen
of Joseon, that it is not my desire
343
00:44:35,754 --> 00:44:43,327
to restore the name and honor of my
father the late Prime Minister Shim On.
344
00:44:43,328 --> 00:44:48,332
It is also my belief that prosecution
of those responsible for his demise
345
00:44:48,333 --> 00:44:53,471
is uncalled for and ask that the
disputes be stopped immediately.
346
00:44:53,472 --> 00:45:01,345
Abide by the request of the Queen
with due respect and consideration!
347
00:45:13,692 --> 00:45:16,760
I don't know about politics.
348
00:45:16,761 --> 00:45:25,402
I came to this decision not
for you but for your families.
349
00:45:28,306 --> 00:45:33,176
If the head of the household becomes
a villain, his family members suffer.
350
00:45:34,212 --> 00:45:44,455
I know because I've suffered.
351
00:45:47,659 --> 00:45:53,763
I will protect you and your family.
352
00:45:54,566 --> 00:46:02,173
So think about what you need to do
to serve and protect the "wise one"
353
00:46:02,174 --> 00:46:05,876
you hand picked to be
the King of this country.
354
00:46:37,175 --> 00:46:44,548
We respect the Queen's earnest plea, but
the Hall of Worthies will not back out.
355
00:46:44,549 --> 00:46:47,417
The Inspector General is
firm on our position.
356
00:46:47,418 --> 00:46:50,254
How about the censorate?
357
00:46:52,891 --> 00:46:56,426
Don't tell me you've changed your mind.
358
00:46:59,864 --> 00:47:05,868
I had nothing to do with it.
I guess someone else got to them first.
359
00:47:13,677 --> 00:47:16,347
You look like you're in a great mood,
Prime Minister.
360
00:47:18,215 --> 00:47:22,786
Do you think this fight is over just
because the Queen issued a statement?
361
00:47:22,787 --> 00:47:29,226
Of course not.
I'm just here to spy on the opposition.
362
00:47:29,227 --> 00:47:31,495
I must ask you to leave.
363
00:47:31,496 --> 00:47:35,633
If you don't like me spying on you,
how about we make a deal?
364
00:47:35,634 --> 00:47:37,468
We decline, sir.
365
00:47:39,004 --> 00:47:44,208
I'm talking about a deal
for my resignation.
366
00:48:05,797 --> 00:48:10,034
I am the principle offender who
367
00:48:10,035 --> 00:48:13,437
accused Shim On of high treason
and had him killed.
368
00:48:14,472 --> 00:48:20,678
I'd like to settle this matter by assuming
full responsibility and leaving the court.
369
00:48:20,679 --> 00:48:25,349
We are seeking your punishment,
not your resignation.
370
00:48:25,350 --> 00:48:28,652
You and everyone else involved.
371
00:48:28,653 --> 00:48:30,821
What do you hope to gain from this?
372
00:48:31,589 --> 00:48:35,726
Do you want to get rid of talented
men who can serve this government
373
00:48:35,727 --> 00:48:38,629
in the name of rectifying history?
374
00:48:40,699 --> 00:48:43,367
That will make you no different from us.
375
00:48:44,002 --> 00:48:47,871
Do you think this is what
Shim On would've wanted?
376
00:48:51,743 --> 00:48:55,813
Lady Ahn cannot be freed unless
Lord Shim's honor is restored.
377
00:48:55,814 --> 00:49:01,218
And we would be giving up
this fight without granting
378
00:49:01,219 --> 00:49:04,088
the princess her dying wish.
379
00:49:04,923 --> 00:49:11,128
I will personally recommend
restoration of for Lady Ahn's honor.
380
00:49:11,129 --> 00:49:16,867
His Majesty will not make such
decisions based on personal feelings.
381
00:49:16,868 --> 00:49:21,438
I will not be asking him to
base it on personal feelings.
382
00:49:21,439 --> 00:49:25,943
I will argue that Lord
Shim's family does not
383
00:49:25,944 --> 00:49:30,714
deserve to be punished
for Lord Shim's crime.
384
00:49:37,956 --> 00:49:44,995
I don't believe Shim On was guilty either
385
00:49:44,996 --> 00:49:50,167
or at the very least that he
had no treacherous intent.
386
00:49:50,168 --> 00:49:56,874
But I still think we should stop the
scuffle and put an end to this now.
387
00:49:58,243 --> 00:50:01,545
What I am offering is not
the most righteous resolution,
388
00:50:01,546 --> 00:50:06,250
but it is the best resolution given
the current state of affairs.
389
00:50:21,465 --> 00:50:23,967
And as for rectifying history.
390
00:50:24,836 --> 00:50:31,942
No, I mean not repeating the
mistakes my generation has made
391
00:50:31,943 --> 00:50:34,812
can't we leave that as your
future assignment for now?
392
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:41,051
Show us that this is not just the King's
inner circle but that this is the true
393
00:50:41,052 --> 00:50:47,057
Hall of Worthies where wisest
men of Joseon are gathered.
394
00:51:02,373 --> 00:51:03,906
I'm sorry.
395
00:51:05,577 --> 00:51:13,917
I hope you'll forgive me for leaving
you with such a huge assignment.
396
00:52:37,135 --> 00:52:43,373
This couldn't have been
an easy decision for you.
397
00:52:44,576 --> 00:52:50,347
It was my father's decision not mine.
398
00:52:51,849 --> 00:53:00,791
He is the one that said
King does not look back.
399
00:53:20,511 --> 00:53:26,249
If you ever need to cry...
400
00:53:27,685 --> 00:53:30,487
You can come to me now.
401
00:53:34,459 --> 00:53:41,198
Don't turn to your children
to wipe your tears away.
402
00:53:41,898 --> 00:53:50,374
That's why your daughter
calls you a crybaby.
403
00:53:51,609 --> 00:53:53,276
Wife...
404
00:53:54,145 --> 00:54:00,017
You've been made to
suffer alone for too long.
405
00:54:01,653 --> 00:54:09,359
Perhaps it is because I've been
neglecting the citizen that the
406
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:17,100
Queen is supposed to feel
greatest compassion for.
407
00:54:31,581 --> 00:54:37,721
You don't have to be alone anymore.
408
00:54:39,691 --> 00:54:46,763
Sharing your hardship and pain.
409
00:54:46,764 --> 00:54:54,137
I will accept that as my duty and my life.
