You're the king? 6 00:00:27,314 --> 00:00:32,565 I'm sorry. I didn't mean to trick you, but somehow it came to be this way. 7 00:00:32,994 --> 00:00:38,125 Oh my, please forgive me. How could I not have recognized you? 8 00:00:38,126 --> 00:00:43,474 How could you possibly have recognized me when I am in disguise like this? 9 00:00:43,984 --> 00:00:47,759 Now you can tell me who you are. 10 00:00:48,193 --> 00:00:52,424 Your Majesty, you mean you really don't recognize me either? 11 00:00:53,274 --> 00:00:57,302 It's me!

We have to hide! Come with me! 16 00:01:26,287 --> 00:01:32,447 We have no time for playacting right now.

I have to study all over again! 21 00:02:12,754 --> 00:02:17,078 They may still be around, so search carefully. Do you hear me? 22 00:02:31,231 --> 00:02:33,455 I don't think His Majesty has been captured. 23 00:02:33,456 --> 00:02:37,221 They look like they're as confused as we are about that explosion. 24 00:02:38,014 --> 00:02:41,365 Then where could His Majesty possibly be? 25 00:02:43,125 --> 00:02:48,137 I'm going to search the mountains. Return to the palace and bring the Imperial Guard. 26 00:02:48,172 --> 00:02:52,403 - Officer Suh, you should stay here. - Here? 27 00:02:52,538 --> 00:02:58,600 Since we were separated here, His Majesty will most likely come back here. 28 00:03:01,493 --> 00:03:05,808 - We have no time. Let's hurry! - Alright. 29 00:03:06,525 --> 00:03:10,576 - If you're looking for me, there's no need for that. - Your Majesty! 30 00:03:13,575 --> 00:03:17,772 Your Majesty, what happened? Where were you? 31 00:03:17,773 --> 00:03:21,627 Forgive me. You must have been worried. 32 00:03:22,786 --> 00:03:28,281 - I had a small mishap, that's all. - What?

The Chancellor helped you? 37 00:03:47,446 --> 00:03:53,789 I'll tell you the details later. We have much work to do. 38 00:04:05,192 --> 00:04:08,700 - A ship from Qing will be arriving in a month? - Yes, Your Majesty. 39 00:04:08,701 --> 00:04:14,214 According to our investigations, they have been posing as traders from Qing. 40 00:04:14,215 --> 00:04:19,189 And they have been handing over the debtors as slaves in that way. 41 00:04:19,190 --> 00:04:24,882 We have confirmed that the ship will be coming in through Songpa. 42 00:04:25,787 --> 00:04:29,314 In that case, we should not strike their headquarters now. 43 00:04:29,633 --> 00:04:34,372 Do you intend to wait until they make their next transaction? 44 00:04:34,373 --> 00:04:40,433 That's right. I want to arrest everyone, including the Qing traders who buy the slaves. 45 00:04:40,874 --> 00:04:45,450 That is the only way we will be able to find out what happened to the people who were sold. 46 00:04:46,579 --> 00:04:49,541 - Commander. - Yes, Your Majesty. 47 00:04:49,542 --> 00:04:55,865 In a month, we will organize a raid to arrest all those responsible for this human trade. 48 00:04:56,359 --> 00:05:00,519 Until then, keep a close watch on their headquarters. Do you hear me? 49 00:05:00,683 --> 00:05:04,035 Yes, Your Majesty! I will obey! 50 00:05:06,894 --> 00:05:13,142 I heard His Majesty had an incident when he was out of the palace today. What happened? 51 00:05:13,613 --> 00:05:18,155 Yes, Your Excellency. According to his guards, there was a small incident. 52 00:05:18,156 --> 00:05:22,652 But His Majesty was able to get out safely with help from a scholar from the Academy. 53 00:05:22,687 --> 00:05:26,531 - What? A scholar from the Academy? - Yes, Your Excellency. 54 00:05:40,047 --> 00:05:43,957 What? You don't believe me? 55 00:05:44,134 --> 00:05:48,784 If you're the king, then I should be Chancellor! 56 00:06:01,022 --> 00:06:03,649 - No one's there. - Let me have a look! 57 00:06:13,057 --> 00:06:16,713 How did he know about that place? 58 00:06:18,715 --> 00:06:22,334 Your Majesty, the Advisor is here. 59 00:06:24,093 --> 00:06:30,400 Isn't it strange that a scholar from the Academy was there at that time? 60 00:06:30,717 --> 00:06:36,936 I agree. It was strange that he knew about that place. 61 00:06:37,037 --> 00:06:41,285 I think he must be involved in some way. I have ordered Officer Park to find out about him. 62 00:06:44,043 --> 00:06:49,554 He seemed well-versed in new inventions, and educated in new methods of science. 63 00:06:50,156 --> 00:06:56,081 The item he used at the warehouse was something I had never read about or seen. 64 00:06:57,018 --> 00:07:02,649 I don't know who this man is, but it appears he has piqued your interest. 65 00:07:03,771 --> 00:07:09,419 Yes, considering how he had escaped from the Academy, it seems he is not inclined in study. 66 00:07:09,721 --> 00:07:13,275 But he may be of other use. 67 00:07:16,201 --> 00:07:19,341 Not only that, his eyes were shining with intelligence. 68 00:07:20,712 --> 00:07:27,903 He looked like how Secretary Hong used to be when I was still the Crown Prince. 69 00:07:30,134 --> 00:07:32,153 Your Majesty...! 70 00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:50,731 Your Majesty, it is Official Nam. 71 00:08:01,913 --> 00:08:05,743 Your Majesty, it is quite late. 72 00:08:05,744 --> 00:08:08,528 It is time for you to retire to your chambers. 73 00:08:09,416 --> 00:08:16,094 Let me stay here a while. I don't think I will be able to sleep easily. 74 00:08:20,793 --> 00:08:25,599 I wonder how Secretary Hong would have reacted to this situation. 75 00:08:26,237 --> 00:08:33,912 He would have called all the scholars of the Academy to find him. 76 00:08:35,448 --> 00:08:38,779 His impatience would have warranted such actions. 77 00:08:39,181 --> 00:08:41,443 Don't you agree? 78 00:08:41,774 --> 00:08:43,823 Your Majesty... 79 00:08:44,236 --> 00:08:50,396 Yes, I often think this way. 80 00:08:51,075 --> 00:08:55,010 When good things happen, or bad... 81 00:08:55,948 --> 00:09:02,831 I often wonder what Secretary Hong would do... 82 00:09:03,917 --> 00:09:08,578 or say to me in those situations... 83 00:09:09,884 --> 00:09:16,563 Your Majesty, I know how much you valued Secretary Hong. 84 00:09:17,603 --> 00:09:20,814 But he is a criminal guilty of high treason. 85 00:09:21,735 --> 00:09:27,439 You must not allow yourself to think about him often... 86 00:09:28,218 --> 00:09:33,078 They say that Secretary Hong is not well, Official Nam. 87 00:09:34,951 --> 00:09:38,839 I'm not saying I forgive his crimes. 88 00:09:39,145 --> 00:09:43,870 I know that I shouldn't allow myself to think about him. 89 00:09:44,281 --> 00:09:48,934 But before he was a subject who served me, 90 00:09:49,477 --> 00:09:53,030 he was also my closest friend. 91 00:09:53,627 --> 00:10:00,684 I am worried that something will happen to him while he is in exile. 92 00:10:01,108 --> 00:10:03,586 I can't stop thinking about it. 93 00:10:04,279 --> 00:10:06,318 Your Majesty... 94 00:10:28,294 --> 00:10:30,935 Secretary Hong! 95 00:10:33,507 --> 00:10:35,761 Secretary Hong! 96 00:11:06,810 --> 00:11:11,649 You still have not come to your senses. 97 00:11:12,855 --> 00:11:16,277 How dare you wait for His Majesty's forgiveness? 98 00:11:16,941 --> 00:11:20,588 How dare you wait for His Majesty's summons? 99 00:11:22,124 --> 00:11:28,059 I still haven't come to my senses... 100 00:12:10,465 --> 00:12:13,008 Do you remember, Your Majesty? 101 00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:18,017 That day, when you came to visit me at the Tribunal prison, 102 00:12:19,463 --> 00:12:25,719 you told me that you couldn't forget the first time we met. 103 00:12:28,156 --> 00:12:33,451 I felt the same way, Your Majesty. 104 00:12:34,633 --> 00:12:37,695 There were many things I wanted to accomplish. 105 00:12:38,199 --> 00:12:43,544 Until the day you accomplished everything you wanted to, 106 00:12:44,247 --> 00:12:45,897 I wanted to be at your side. 107 00:12:45,898 --> 00:12:53,087 For the rest of my life, 108 00:12:54,043 --> 00:12:57,296 I wanted to work together with you. 109 00:12:58,921 --> 00:13:01,598 Perhaps in our next life, 110 00:13:02,352 --> 00:13:07,136 if we ever meet again... 111 00:13:08,974 --> 00:13:14,181 Maybe then... 112 00:13:14,703 --> 00:13:17,934 Will you forgive me? 113 00:13:19,644 --> 00:13:25,491 Will you forgive this disloyal sinner? 114 00:13:25,915 --> 00:13:31,234 Will you take me back? 115 00:14:04,867 --> 00:14:08,098 Don't do this again!

I was completely mistaken about her. 379 00:47:55,696 --> 00:47:58,854 Your Majesty, Officer Park is here. 380 00:47:58,855 --> 00:48:01,818 - Bring him in. - Yes, Your Majesty. 381 00:48:16,685 --> 00:48:21,015 So, that scholar's name is Jung Ya Gyong? 382 00:48:21,545 --> 00:48:28,906 Yes, he has been studying at the Academy for three years. 383 00:48:29,997 --> 00:48:33,390 I found something surprising. 384 00:48:34,067 --> 00:48:39,775 I thought he was uninterested in his studies, but his marks are quite remarkable! 385 00:48:39,776 --> 00:48:46,779 Yes, the Academy regards him as one of their finest students. 386 00:48:49,645 --> 00:48:55,516 But for some reason, he keeps failing his examinations and skips his lessons. 387 00:48:55,517 --> 00:48:58,191 He has been suspended several times due to those reasons. 388 00:48:58,885 --> 00:49:02,011 - Indeed? - Yes, Your Majesty. 389 00:49:20,121 --> 00:49:22,433 Trying to jump over the wall again? 390 00:49:27,134 --> 00:49:30,434 What is the king doing here? 391 00:49:31,859 --> 00:49:34,112 Why don't you come down? 392 00:49:34,113 --> 00:49:37,770 There is a gate to this place. Why do you always go for the difficult route? 393 00:49:52,377 --> 00:49:56,834 So if I go out that gate, I'll reach a road that takes me to Songgyobang? 394 00:49:57,352 --> 00:50:04,014 That's right. This road is used by military officers who come and go from the palace. 395 00:50:04,848 --> 00:50:09,959 I never knew this gate was here at the Academy! How did you find it anyway? 396 00:50:10,473 --> 00:50:13,769 Are you going to pretend you're a scholar instead of the king? 397 00:50:14,772 --> 00:50:16,742 Watch your mouth! 398 00:50:18,015 --> 00:50:23,473 My name is Yi Mu Duk. I found this gate when I studied here. 399 00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:28,910 To be frank, I used to skip lessons and run away from the Academy too. 400 00:50:29,159 --> 00:50:33,239 You should have told me from the beginning! Why did you hide your identity from me? 401 00:50:35,701 --> 00:50:38,923 I'm Jung Ya Gyong. 402 00:50:39,455 --> 00:50:41,928 - Jung Ya Gyong? - That's right. 403 00:50:42,787 --> 00:50:46,907 By the way, where do you go after you jump over the wall? 404 00:50:46,908 --> 00:50:50,536 Do you have a good reason for skipping your lessons? 405 00:50:50,537 --> 00:50:53,555 I have hundreds of people wanting to see me. 406 00:50:53,556 --> 00:50:56,611 So how can I just sit here reading books? 407 00:50:59,918 --> 00:51:03,485 Hundreds of people? What do you mean? 408 00:51:03,886 --> 00:51:06,061 None of your business! 409 00:51:15,021 --> 00:51:17,717 - Madam! One more bottle! - Coming! 410 00:51:22,122 --> 00:51:28,609 So you mean the government official came and took your house by force? 411 00:51:28,667 --> 00:51:34,360 Yes, that's why I came here! I heard you help powerless people like us! 412 00:51:35,035 --> 00:51:38,089 Don't worry. This is clearly misuse of power. 413 00:51:38,522 --> 00:51:44,069 This is against the law, so if you write an appeal to the Prefecture, they will help you. 414 00:51:44,376 --> 00:51:48,904 An appeal? I am illiterate! 415 00:51:49,564 --> 00:51:53,843 Don't worry about that either. I'll write the appeal for you and send it in. 416 00:51:54,163 --> 00:52:03,057 - You'll reclaim your house soon. - Thank you, Sir!

This calligraphy is ...! 428 00:53:57,993 --> 00:54:01,826 How could this scholar have answered the seven questions so quickly? 429 00:54:02,370 --> 00:54:06,978 I was the one who gave out the questions but doubted anyone would be able to answer. 430 00:54:08,816 --> 00:54:11,977 How surprising. Who is this scholar? 431 00:54:11,978 --> 00:54:15,153 Forgive me, Your Majesty, but we do not know. 432 00:54:15,548 --> 00:54:18,007 Why not? 433 00:54:18,008 --> 00:54:24,814 He did not sign his name on his answer sheet. 434 00:54:26,513 --> 00:54:33,232 So it was him! It was him that gave these answers! 435 00:54:34,620 --> 00:54:37,316 Official Nam! Are you outside? 436 00:54:39,623 --> 00:54:43,474 - Yes, Your Majesty! - Summon the Advisor to me!
