-=Final Episode=-

Un!

Un, it's all over.

You can come back now.

Really, is that it?

Let's go, it's pointless...

You need to hold it like this.

It was like this when we were at that age.

Right.

At that time I thought, that if I could beat you, that would be enough.

If I had known that the sword in our hands

would become this heavy,

I wouldn't have picked up the sword in the beginning.

Do you regret it now?

Everyday, I regret it.

Because when you kill someone,

you will have to bear the guilt for the person you killed.

Un, I'm not saying that you did the right thing.

But you don't have to bear the responsibility for everything.

-= Yi San (Later King Jeong Ju)=- . What... what did you just say?

Heuksa Chorong's Sky Lord...

is the culprit who killed Crown Prince Sado.

Really? Did that fellow really kill Father?

Yes, Your Highness.

Please give the order to eradicate the inhumane assassins group, Heuksa Chorong,

and kill their leader, the Sky Lord.

Your Highness, after the Defense Minister was executed,

the confidence of the Noron faction has wavered.

We have to seize this opportunity

to remove all the people who participated in this treasonous plot.

We have to leave no chance for its revival!

Leave no chance for its revival? Who are you referring to?

I'm referring to the residual forces,

that Qing planted in this country over a hundred years ago...

Heuksa Chorong.

Heuksa Chorong?

Yes, Your Highness.

They are hired by those with shady power and influence, and have killed many people.

As a group of assassins, not only had they killed numerous junior and senior officers,

they had also killed Your Highness' father,

who's also his master. He's the most heinous criminal in Crown Prince Sado's death.

Sir Hong.

Before Baek Dong Su comes, I will protect Your Highness.

Sky Lord, are you talking about him?

Yes, Your Highness.

Isn't he your trusted friend?

He is my friend, but I should not allow my private affairs to interfere with work.

I can see that you are happy.

I'm relieved of my burden now. Shouldn't I be happy?

Then how are you going to deal with these ledgers?

I will destroy all of them.

Bring all the confidential documents and ledgers with the recorded secret transactions here.

Yes.

Dong Su, come in, come in ...

Come in, please sit down...

Come quickly.

Good, good.

That evil Defense Minister has finally been punished.

The resentment that I had over the past 20 years has finally dissipated.

Isn't that so, Jin Gi?

Yes, he has committed all sorts of evil doings.

Now that we received news of him being executed,

the people are so happy that they're dancing!

I must drink to my heart's content today!

Yeongsuk, I think you're in a good mood today.

Yes, very well.

I haven't seen you laugh so happily for a long time.

That's right. Baek Dong Su, what's with you today?

You don't look too bad.

The hated Defense Minister has finally gotten his retribution,

that is how we should be.

Hyeongnim, take care.

Please watch over us from where you are, and let us be safe and sound.

Now we're the only ones left to live our lives happily.

Imo, Sa Mo seems to be drunk.

I'm not drunk, you silly girl!

So what if I am?

We should drink to our heart's content on a day like this.

Ajubeonim, look over here!

Seeing how happy the children are, you must be very happy, too!

Aigoo, you are really excited...

What do you mean, Your Highness?

Before he carries that seditious heart and kills me,

I must kill him first.

Your Highness.

His Majesty is getting weaker and older,

but I still have a lot of enemies around me.

Are they not those that depend on influential people?

I am just taking preventive actions before anything happens.

Is this what Sir Hong had in mind?

My views are the same as Sir Hong's.

Please retract your order, Your Highness.

He saved your life during the last coup.

He definitely won't have any thoughts of rebelling, Your Highness.

Didn't he kill my father?

How can I let such a person continue living?

I have made up my mind, don't bother try to dissuade me.

Your Highness.

I heard that he is your trusted friend.

If you can't bear to kill him,

you don't have to participate. I won't punish you.

Everything's here.

Burn it.

This is the thing that you wanted.

These are the opaes of the Heuksa members.

-=hogunanja: document of contributions by the account holders to the local leader=- . Moreover, they match the hogunanja. They won't be suspected.

Hand these out to the followers.

I'm sorry, but can I ask you a question?

Do you wish to organize a new group?

When the time comes, you'll know.

Yes.

Sky Lord, do you think they can live a normal life?

They have to pick up a hoe with hands that want to hold a sword.

They definitely won't get used to it.

However, compared to a life that requires them to kill,

this is definitely a hundred times better.

Do you wish to till the ground, too?

Hey, what is all this about?

How can you be like this?

Hey, Yang Cho Rip!

Just say it.

How could you say such things like killing Un?

In order to protect His Highness, I am willing to do anything.

Un is a trusted friend. He is your friend!

Dong Su, you should also know.

We parted ways a long time ago.

But Un saved your life.

He could have killed you, but instead he chose to save you.

That's right! But those are just

tricks to evade the Defense Minister.

Yang Cho Rip.

Regardless of the Defense Minister's sentence, as long as they're willing,

they will enter the palace anytime by climbing over the walls.

There are still a lot of such people in Joseon.

How can I do nothing about it?

Stop talking nonsense. Un is not the same. He is not the same!

That different Un... is their leader.

Dong Su...

No matter how much you try to conceal it,

Un is still Heuksa Chorong's Sky Lord.

The leader of the assassin group.

Cho Rip.

If Un comes back,

You and I should welcome him back together.

No matter what others do, you can't be like this.

Just like before,

the three of us,

like how we were fearless in the past.

I understand.

I feel terrible too, but I don't have a choice.

If you don't feel comfortable then don't participate.

Regardless of your participation,

Un... will still need to die.

Dong Su, this is the fate for the three of us.

Hey...

Bring it on.

Hey, Un.

Grab him.

From what I see, you deserve to be beaten to death today.

What are you doing here?

Help me pass this to Heuksa Chorong's Sky Lord.

Heuksa Chorong's Sky Lord... I don't know that person.

It won't harm you, Sir.

This was sent by Sir Wang.

-=Haesi: 9pm to 11 pm=- . Tell him I will meet him at Haesi.

Yes.

What are you trying to do?

His Highness has given the order to get rid of Sky Lord.

What?

Why isn't the Sky Lord informed?

The person who requested His Highness to kill Sky Lord is...

his trusted friend, Sir Hong.

The person who received the order was also his trusted friend, Baek Dong Su.

So...

The Sky Lord will definitely not draw his sword against them.

Then what is your plan?

I will make arrangements for a banquet.

Help me with it.

Do I have a reason to turn up?

Cho Rip.

Just believe in me this once and follow me.

Cho Rip.

We used to be friends.

The memories we had together

with Dong Su and Un at Jang Yong Wi.

Jang Dae Po, Jang Yong Wi's captain

who was also my father,

was killed by assassins of Heuksa Chorong.

So I have not forgotten about them for a moment at all.

However, Un is different from them.

Isn't he a friend?

Our friend.

Fine.

Then we shall just meet first.

-= Sulsi: 7 pm to 9 pm =- . Sulsi has already passed.

He'll surely not come.

We'll just have to wait and see.

He will surely come.

Sky Lord definitely will not come.

Then, let's wait for another 2 hours.

By the time Sky Lord arrives,

you will probably not be alive.

I will use my methods to protect the Sky Lord.

You can come out now.

Did Un tell you to do this?

No, he didn't.

No?

Do you still want me to believe what you just said?

This is Un's reply to our trust.

It's not possible.

How is it not possible?

The Sky Lord has nothing to do with this.

I arranged it.

You would kill without the Sky Lord's order?

Did you see it?

No one in the country can escape Heuksa Chorong's assassins.

There isn't even a place to drink peacefully.

To kill or cut them,

Dong Su, do as you deem fit.

Cho Rip.

No matter what,

you have to tell Un, to come find me.

Hey, Cho Rip.

Just wait a moment.

Did you not see for yourself?

This is the real face of our trusted Un.

Hey, Cho Rip.

What is going on?

I'm asking you, what's happening?

I committed a capital offense.

His Highness Prince Heir has ordered to get rid of the Sky Lord.

What?

The one who told His Highness the Prince Heir to kill the Sky Lord

is your friend, Sir Hong.

The one who received the order is your trusted friend Baek Dong Su.

You're wrong.

They absolutely aren't that kind of friends.

It was a report from the Shadow World.

It can't be wrong.

No, it is not.

I still haven't asked for their forgiveness.

Even if it is as you say,

that they have to kill me,

I...

I still want to ask them for forgiveness.

Leave.

If this really is His Highness's order,

then I'll go see His Highness and settle it.

You are...

I felt that His Highness wants to find me.

So I dare to confront you.

You are really bold, to come here.

Have a seat.

Did you really kill my father?

Yes.

I have never heard before,

how my father died.

Until he closed his eyes,

he dreamt of the Bukbeoljigye.

Looks like you really deserve to die.

What is the reason for doing this?

Killing my father is one.

As his child,

I can't ignore it.

I have never felt any joy about it.

The past is filled with pain for me.

I will go before Prince Sado's grave,

and bow a thousand times.

I would cut off one of my arms,

to ask for Your Highness's forgiveness.

Harming the court,

and killing innocent people,

is the second reason.

I will give up all the assets that Heuksa Chorong owns

and return it to the people.

From this moment on,

-= Sejak: spy =- . the sejak that infiltrated the court,

and the parasites that has attached itself to the society, will all be eradicated.

Even if you do these things,

there's one thing that I can't forgive...

What is it?

Being able to break through all the security,

directly entering my private palace,

this is a remarkable ability of yours.

Letting someone like you live in this world,

how can I sleep peacefully?

I will also resign my position as Sky Lord.

At the same time, I will also dissolve Heuksa Chorong.

The expression in your eyes isn't lying.

Then, just this once, I will believe you.

Un to me is also a best friend, and family.

So when the two of us see him,

we should at least listen to his explanation.

Dong Su, that is your problem.

You don't care if Un speaks the truth or not,

you won't hear it as a lie.

Why?

Because you only see what you choose to see.

At one time I was also like that.

At the time when Training Commander Im Su Ung passed away,

at the time His Highness passed away,

I believed Un.

But didn't Un leave us then?

Yang Cho Rip.

Don't convince me again.

My determination is no less than your confidence.

I'll leave first.

Why don't you understand?

Un, as long as you come back, it will be okay.

Un!

Are you really going to kill me?

Un!

Cho Rip, reported to have me killed.

Dong Su, you swore to His Highness,

to kill me.

Un!

That...

I just went to see His Highness.

What?

His Highness gave me a chance to atone for my crimes.

That's really fortunate!

I will immediately dissolve Heuksa Chorong,

and will also leave and go far away.

Leave?

What are you talking about?

Didn't we say we're going to live together, the three of us?

How can we live together?

I will leave...

and go to a place with no people.

A place that's very far.

Don't come find me.

Hey, Un! Un!

Isn't he Heuksa Chorong's Sky Lord?

Giving up the path of an assassin,

won't be that easy.

It shouldn't be.

In order to return to the right path,

at least he will have to go through the passing of years.

-=Heuksa Chorong=-

From today onwards,

Heuksa Chorong will be dissolved.

This is the Sky Lord's order.

These are the opaes of those that died in Joseon.

But their deaths have not been confirmed,

so they aren't recorded on the citizen registrar.

You all won't have any problems living normal lives.

These are Heuksa Chorong's assets.

I will distribute it evenly.

So all of you put down your swords,

be laborious and live a good life.

If it is like that,

your children's

hands won't touch blood.

And will also live good lives.

Except for the sword, my hands have not held anything else.

I...

lived as an assassin, if I die, I will also die as one.

This is an order...

you cannot disobey.

It can't be delayed again.

We will carry out the plan.

So when the two of us see him,

we should at least listen to his explanation.

Un...

Looks like this is a matter that you and I must solve.

This rascal...

-=Joyudae: A seventh ranked official =- . A joyudae is suppose to hold a pen. Why are you holding a sword?

If you are here to see the Sky Lord,

I'm very sorry.

It's Sky Lord's old friend indeed.

Did you really come here alone?

Why did you call me here?

Are you planning to kill me?

Although I'm sorry, but your death...

will have lots of benefit.

Whether you believe or not,

Heuksa Chorong has already been dissolved.

If there's a so-called dissolution of Heuksa Chorong,

why would they point a sword at me?

This is...

the final task.

That hypocritical front,

I won't believe it anyway.

Look at you all.

You only know how to kill people, that is why you pick up the sword.

You all are just assassins.

Do as you all want, but,

even if I die here,

it won't bring any change.

Heuksa Chorong is especially quiet today.

Have Jang Tae San and Baekmyeon Seosaeng already left?

Yes.

Half the people have already left Heuksa Chorong.

How come...

you can lie to me?

I clearly said, drop the sword and go.

The weapon storage...

doesn't have a single sword.

Did they go killing people again?

Say it.

That's not it.

Early this morning, everyone...

Do you really want to die?

Cho Rip, you must certainly live, Cho Rip!

You should be on your way.

Have you seen Sir Hong?

I couldn't find him anywhere.

He is also not in the institution.

So you guys didn't go together?

What do you mean?

He said he was going to see Un.

What?

Cho Rip.

No, it's already been settled. It's over.

Please, don't let anything happen. Please.

Stop!

Cho Rip! Cho Rip!

Don't touch me!

Don't you understand?

As long as you exist, they...

won't ever disappear.

As long as you exist,

no matter if it is His Highness or Dong Su,

no one is safe.

I finally understand.

You thought Sword Saint left this unsettled because his martial arts wasn't good enough, right?

It's because he couldn't kill.

Captain Jang Dae Po also...

Training Commander Im Su Ung as well...

Crown Prince His Highness too.

Everybody just let it go.

Everything, is because of Heuksa Chorong.

Un, you...

It's because of you...

Leave.

Put down your swords, and leave.

But...

This is the final order.

Those that defy the order,

will surely die.

Cho Rip!

Did you do this Un?

Cho Rip.

Why are you doing this?

Exactly why?

It's already over. So why on earth did you do that?

For a moment,

for just a brief moment...

I also thought the same, and believed it.

It was only an illusion of my wishful thinking.

I am only an assassin.

Exactly how far do you want to go?

Baek Dong Su.

What exactly do you want from me?

I am an assassin, Heuksa Chorong's leader.

An enemy of this country, Joseon.

Un you, even if you didn't care about fate,

even if you hadn't become an assassin or something like that,

would you still have become like this?

Well then...

What expectations do you have of me?

What exactly do you want me to do?

Baek Dong Su.

Looks like we should settle the score between us.

You thought you could beat me?

From childhood to adulthood,

when have you ever won in a fight against me, since we were young?

Not even once.

I might kill you.

Those kind of words,

say them again after you beat me.

But, he...

Hands.

It's your comrade.

Comrade?

What comrade crap?

He looks just like a male gigolo.

Hello.

How about we become friends also?

What? With you?

Cho Rip!

Yeo Un, that person actually arranged to meet Sir Hong?

Yes.

Yeongsuk went over there when he found out.

You all lead the royal guards there.

If Sir Hong appears to be in an accident,

put Heuksa Chorong's Sky Lord to death.

Didn't you say you can beat me?

Baek Dong Su.

You have to have the will to kill me.

This is the last time.

We...

Can't we return to how it was before?

My... only safe refuge...

was you, Dong Su... with Cho Rip.

I thought that for as long as I could be together with you,

I could live under the sun.

At least I experienced this bit of happiness.

That is enough.

Thank you, Dong Su.

Un... Un.

Since before, I wanted to die by someone's hand.

That is to die by your hands, Dong Su.

You can still live.

Un you...

Until I reach the underworld,

to His Highness, to Sword Saint,

I'll get on my knees and bow deeply.

Don't be hurt your whole life for a fellow like me.

Thank you...

Dong Su.

Un...

Don't die, Un.

Un, Un!

Un, don't die!

Yeo Un!

Yeo Un!

Why are you drinking so much alone?

Do you miss him?

Yes.

I miss him very much.

Un that brat.

But that brat...

is only in this wine cup.

I wish to forget him after drinking a cup.

But I think of him again, so I am urged to refill it.

I wish to forget him after drinking a cup.

But I think of him again, so I am urged to refill it.

Hey, come on.

Just go inside.

Go, hurry up.

Hurry up.

Quickly, quickly.

You rotten brats have nothing to do after eating your fill right?

What is there to see? Quickly go!

Go, go.

I wish you good night.

This gang of brats...

Stop talking...

So... Sobangnim. (sobangnim = husband)

Sobangnim?

Yes, right.

You...

You're really beautiful!

For such a long time, you really have suffered.

Do you believe me?

I will take care of you this whole life. Live this life for you.

When have I never believed in you sobangnim?

Yes, yes.

So...

Come, let's...

Looks like its time to extinguish the light.

Open the door! Open the door!

- You all quit playing. - Quickly open it.

Hey, you rotten brats!

What's there to be curious about an old virgin getting a wife?

Elderly.

You don't have to worry about your pirate identity and conceal your real name.

What are you talking about?

His Highness ordered to remove all the crimes charged against you.

Father.

Your Highness still cares for a guilty person like me.

That's great, Father.

Thank you for your grace. Thank you for your grace!

- Yes. - Yes.

That's great, Father.

Thank you so much!

You've done well.

Thank you so much.

You've worked hard.

You're here.

Were you waiting for me?

Come on, come on...

You have been completely gotten a hold of.

Sir Hong, you...

Why did you become this way?

He's too shy around women.

I really couldn't tell, really...

You must be a good king.

-=Yeong Ju=- . The wish I couldn't fulfill, you...

The matters that your father couldn't do,

you must certainly become a king who benefits the common people.

Your Majesty.

-=Queen Jeong Sun=- . Your Majesty.

In the afterworld, where I see your father,

I will apologize to him.

So, don't hate this grandfather.

Don't say such things, Your Majesty.

Your... Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

I will personally change Joseon's history.

I am Crown Prince Sado's son.

Starting now..

Anyone who dares to scorn the wrongly accused Crown Prince Sado and I,

will be punished severely, similar to those that committed treason.

Thank you for your graciousness.

Thank you for your graciousness, Your Majesty.

What are you doing? It's very dangerous!

What? I also want to learn martial arts.

It is not appropriate for a woman to hold a sword.

What?!

Hey, what about me?

That... you just pick up this pen.

Ah, yes.

Uh, what's wrong? What's wrong?

Excuse me...

Just accept it.

Why are you giving this?

What do you think?

What?

This is Miss and I.

What?

Similar to the painting,

you will become the world's most beautiful bride.

Hey, Jin Gi.

From what I see, martial artists like us...

aren't different from the clouds over there.

Yes, forever will be there.

Don't know when a day will come where the wind will scatter it.

You really have some standard in your speech.

From what I see, you and I are both agreeable.

Who said we're not?

We have always put up our lives and fought till now.

Then, we can now relax a bit.

Let's not die an untimely death on the street. Let's die of old age.

Yes, we will...

relax and die of old age.

Yes.

Yes, Yes.

-=Muyeoidobotongji: a martial arts book explaining 24 types of martial arts, drawn on order of the founder.=- . . What's in this Muyeoidobotongji?

-=Muyeoidobotongji: a martial arts book explaining 24 types of martial arts, drawn on order of the founder.=- . On top of the 18 basic types of martial arts are additional martial arts on horseback.

This martial arts book will surely increase the strength of Joseon's army.

You have worked hard.

Dong Su, I'm proud of you.

Hello!

Hello...

Miss welcome...

Look Miss.

Let me look at that.

Yes, Miss.

Are you very angry? Do you still want to have a duel with him again?

Definitely.

My father told me not to give up easily.

Didn't you say to never give up?

Did you say that as long as I am determined, I can do anything?

At a glance, I know that he's about the same age as me. How can I possibly not win against this fellow?

Yes, you are right.

But, the way you are fighting... will absolutely not beat that child.

Do you know what martial arts is?

Martial arts?

Isn't it that martial arts can end war, create peace and save people's lives?

So you know!

Look at this.

The word 'martial' from martial arts is made up of different segments of characters, starting with 2 lines,

followed by the arm weapon and blocking characters.

So the word 'martial' depicts 2 people fighting, with striking and blocking movements.

And then adding the 'art' character from skill. Isn't that martial arts?

Do you understand?

Yes, you are right.

The objective of martial arts is not only to strengthen your body and health.

Using it from the heart, for saving friends, the common people and your country,

only then it can be truly considered martial arts.

Ajussi, are you a martial artist?

Yes.

In that case, can you teach me?

All right.

Really?

Hey brat, why are you so rude to your elders?

Is calling me Master too hard to do?

What?

Hey, let's do another round!

Ajussi, remember you promised to teach me martial arts.
