Original subtitles

Who are you?

People call me Excellency Deuk Heung.

I'm the King's uncle.

- Did you meet him? - In the palace, a few days ago.

- Are you trying to make me a king? - I'm planning to.

If she figures out what it says in the notebook, she might be able to open the door.

That's what she thinks now.

Figure it out with Eui Seon.

Get ready to leave and meet me where we meet everyday.

I think there will be a person that has a connection to Choi Young in the palace.

So if you put poison in the corner of this paper,

people who use this paper will get addicted to the poison.

Do you have an antidote to that poison?

- Of course, I do. - What do you want me to do?

Where is Eui Seon?

Eui Seon.

Eui Seon.

Eui Seon.

Eui Seon, wake up.

Hey. Hey!

It's here.

She's there.

Eui Seon doesn't look good at all. I was going to send a person to tell you that.

Did the poison spread in her body already?

The poison?

The poison? And how did you know we're here?

Court Lady Choi sent me here. She said Eui Seon was poisoned.

Who did that and why?

Wait. If it's a poison, you can neutralize it, right? Because you're a doctor.

It doesn't even have a smell.

I have this pill. It's Eui Seon's. Do you think it'd help?

I need to know what kind of poison this is so I can try to neutralize.

I heard he put the poison on the corner of this paper.

I might find out what poison it is if I take the paper but...

I'm asking if you can save her.

Go talk to Excellency Deuk Heung. He said he'll wait at where he met you last time.

- Excellency Deuk Heung? - He's the one who poisoned her.

He said if you want the antidote, you should go see him.

How much time do I have?

If it's Seok Hwa poison,

her fingers will get paralyzed first and then her heart...

How much time do I have?

I'll try my best to slow it down. But a day will be the maximum.

Captain.

- Check if Dr. Jang is shadowed by anyone. - Okay.

Go tell Sa Suk that since Eui Seon is too sick to move, to take good care of her.

It's so painful, Young.

Captain!

There's one guy that's shadowing you now.

Don't make him come near by here.

You're the one that can hear everything even if it's too far to hear.

You're here.

Do you have an antidote?

I've been waiting for you.

Have a seat first.

- The antidote. - How dare you treat a royal like this?

Give me it.

You shouldn't be doing this to me.

There are a number of people that I've killed so far.

I always try to kill them without pain.

But...

I'm...

planning to tear your limbs apart tonight.

You'd better tell me truth.

There's only two ways for me now.

Where's the antidote?

It's either I become a king or I die.

This is just a cut. It will be a stab next.

If I die, your girl will die too.

She's your girl, right?

Eui Seon. She won't have that much time left by now.

Tell me what you want.

Everybody said you're the only one.

The one who knows everything and can control Wu Dal Chi in the palace.

What is it that you want?

The King's...

seal.

I don't care if you steal it or not. Just bring it to me. Then I'll give you the antidote.

Are you telling me to steal the King's seal and give it to you?

Even if you're a great doctor, you won't save her if the sun rises.

The sun will rise soon.

- You protect my sword here. - Here?

Until I come back.

Guard him.

Captain.

Who's this man?

You're the criminal who broke the law and ran away.

- How have you been? - What about you?

I came here to ask you a favor.

I think I should order people to make you kneel down first.

Your Majesty.

Leave us alone.

He's Choi Young.

Leave us alone.

- What is it? - Eui Seon got poisoned.

A poison?

How?

To get an antidote to that poison, I need one of yours.

Mine?

What is it that you need?

Give me your seal.

My seal?

Are you serious?

I need that to save Eui Seon.

Choi Young, don't you know what giving my seal away means?

I dragged her into this world because of your command.

And kept her here because of your command.

And she also saved the Queen's life.

And took your side and waited.

And now...

she's dying.

Please give me your seal.

So who is it that told you to take my seal away?

It's Excellency Deuk Heung.

Your Majesty, there isn't much time.

Are you telling me to give my seal away just because of this one woman?

Can I not?

You said I'm your king.

You told me to have you!

You said I'm your friend and one of your people.

And now, one of your people is begging for your help.

You still don't know why the people need a king?

Giving away my seal means giving away the throne.

Who gave you that seal?

You're crazy.

You can't be doing this to me.

If you don't give me it, I'll take it by myself.

Get that bastard.

I receive your order.

Your Majesty.

- Don't you have any weapons? - No, I don't.

Stop me well. Show Wu Dal Chi's pride.

Get him!

He's heading to Gang Ha Jeon. Let's go!

He's heading to Gang Ha Jeon. You guys go block the front door.

Yes, sir.

What's going on here? Did Captain really break into the palace?

We must stop him. Now he's just an enemy who's trying to steal the King's seal.

How do we stop him?

The enemy doesn't have a weapon with him.

Don't be afraid and attack him.

The enemy can't kill us.

If you come any closer...

You will get hurt.

Do it.

Let's go to Gang Ha Jeon. That's where he's heading to.

Where's the seal?

It's right here.

Protect this at the risk of your life.

As I told you this before, the enemy can't kill us so...

If there's a chance, stab him without hesitation.

We have to protect the seal.

Your Majesty.

- Nothing happened yet? - He's not here yet.

Hey, hey!

I think...

Choi Young took your seal before he came to us.

After that he pretended that he's heading to where the seal was.

He made us gather there and he ran away at that moment.

So what happened to the seal?

It's gone.

To Eun Soo.

Where is it?

You really brought it.

Give me the antidote first.

I need to check if it's the real seal.

I'm different from you.

Give me one reason why I shouldn't kill you.

Because you'll need more of that antidote.

What?

She needs to take it once every three days.

This is the only way for me to survive.

So I have to get the antidote once every three days?

I heard you have to do it seven times to completely detox.

- What's going to happen to Eui Seon? - She won't die.

I know that because I've used it a couple times.

And one more thing.

You shouldn't be treating me like that. I might become your king.

I'll come back after three days.

What on earth? I thought you would be more angry.

Are you just going to leave?

You should have something to say before you go.

I don't talk a lot with monsters.

Would it work?

We'll have to wait.

It's a relief that the poison doesn't attack her blood, but only numbs her nerves.

Otherwise, her organs would be damaged by now. Let's wait and see.

- How long? - Give it some time.

You said she needs to take this antidote once every three days, right?

I'll check what it is made of and see if I can make it.

By the way, what did you do for him?

He wouldn't have given this to you for nothing.

He wanted to exchange that with some thing useless. So I did it.

Useless thing?

By the way, her hand is so cold.

Her hand is usually as hot as the sun.

I know that for sure.

If it's the right antidote, she'll get better.

Do we just wait like this?

Try to talk to her. If the antidote works,

her consciousness will come first before her body responds.

She might panic if she finds out that she can't move.

Can you take a look at this?

- Is this... - It's the King's seal.

But check if it's right one because I've never seen that before.

How is this in your hands?

Choi Young gave it to me.

Why did he...

I don't know.

I guess he doesn't like the present king just like you.

And you just let him go?

He's probably with Eui Seon. But you let him go like that?

What was I supposed to do?

He knows how to use a sword but I only know how to read a book.

You saw him!

But why did you let him go?

There were people that were shadowing me.

Did you not want this? I though you were even planning to steal it.

I did.

Now what are you going to do with this seal?

Didn't I tell you that I don't think?

You can use this however you want it.

If I use this and make you become king...

Didn't you say you wanted Eui Seon? And Choi Young is with her.

And he came to me.

Isn't this simple to understand?

Other people must not know about what happened yesterday.

If they ask you what all the fuss was about, you should say it was a drill.

Let me repeat. There wasn't any intruder yesterday.

Therefore, there isn't anything I lost.

- Do you understand? - Your Majesty.

Due to the incompetence of Wu Dal Chi, you lost your seal.

I took the command of Wu Dal Chi, so it's all my responsibility.

I don't deserve to take control of your army anymore.

I'll take the punishment.

Did you not hear what I just said?

I said nothing happened yesterday.

Why would I punish you men?

Your Majesty.

If other people find out about this incident,

if people know what I've lost by whom,

then I'll punish you.

Are we clear?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Choi Young came to him for nothing?

I know a lot about Choi Young.

He came to Deuk Heung by himself and gave him the King's seal?

Deuk Heung is playing a very dangerous game now.

He's playing a game with me now.

What do you want me to do with the soldiers that are looking for Eui Seon?

Looking for Eui Seon is important but half the soldiers are out of Gae Kyung now.

Let's bring them back. Something's going on.

We're going to keep looking for her.

Search everywhere in Goryeo. Even north of Yuan too.

We'll pressure the King while we play with Deuk Heung.

We'll get to find her eventually.

Choi Young turned his back on me.

I can't believe it.

He told me to give my seal to him so he can save Eui Seon.

Did he really tell you to give the seal to him?

You know what it means to give away my seal.

He said he's going to give that to my uncle, who's trying to be a king.

I really can't believe it.

I know you can't.

Because I couldn't either.

I believed that even if everyone around me turned their backs on me,

Choi Young would stay next to me.

Your Majesty.

I'm sorry but could you tell me specifically what he said?

Specifically?

The words that tore my heart apart?

Please tell me.

He said he dragged Eui Seon into this world just because of my command.

So I should give away my seal to save her life.

He told me that very confidently.

So what did you say to him?

What do you think I said?

Are you telling me to give my seal away just because of this one woman?

Can I not?

He looked so confident when he said that.

He was even scolding me and...

And now, the one of your people is begging for your help.

Giving away my seal means giving away the throne.

Who gave you that seal?

Your Majesty...

[Bu Ma Guk Wang Seon Myung Jeong Dong Heng Jung Seo Seong.]

Who gave you that seal?

I didn't try to know that.

But do you know what's written in the King of Goryeo's seal?

'Bu Ma Guk Wang Seon Myung Jeong Dong Heng Jung Seo Seong.'

It's a seal that set another country's command.

Yes, this seal is what the King of Yuan game me.

It was what the King of Yuan gave me.

And I didn't want to give it away.

And I told him that...

he was crazy.

You said I'm your friend and one of your people.

And now, one of your people is begging for your help.

You still don't know why the people need a king?

I yell at my retainers everyday.

Since the people are out there, for them, I should...

But...

I don't know how the people look like.

I haven't even met them yet.

The only person I know is Choi Young.

But I told him that...

he was crazy.

Get him now.

What are you doing?

Hey, stop.

They're working so hard for their boss.

I know. We all should help each other, right?

By the way, you two. Have you eaten today?

Do you want a warm soup?

She makes the best soup in Goryeo. It's the best.

You can work after you eat, right? Let's go.

It's drop-dead delicious.

I taught you how to ride a horse and use a dagger.

I'll teach you how to fish next time.

But I don't think you like fishing. Maybe something else.

There's the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When there's a full moon, people dance and sing all might long.

You'll love that. And there's...

Eui Seon. Are you okay?

Eui Seon!

What's wrong? Can you hear me?

What's wrong?

Dr. Jang. Dr. Jang!

Don't die. Don't die!

She just spoke to me but what's wrong with her? Why is she crying?

Her pulse is fine.

Her hands are still paralyzed a little bit.

But she survived.

Where's that rascal?

So how's Eui Seon?

She got better but if Deuk Heung is right, then she has to keep taking the antidote.

So it's possible there's a person that can do more than what Gi Cheol can do.

But it was me...

that sent him to her.

How's the palace and Wu Dal Chi?

Did they all get kicked out?

I taught them to read an enemy's mind not his moves.

Now you took the blame for the bribe and became a thief.

What are you going to do next?

- I'm going to save Eui Seon's life first. - And then?

- And send her back. - To heaven?

- Yeah. - What's next?

Well...

Should I follow her to heaven?

How's the King doing?

How do you think he is?

Deuk Heung and Gi Cheol are going to start playing games using the seal.

Then the scholars are going to start bothering him.

The Queen said the King has realized what you meant to say.

Yeah.

And Gi Cheol called an emergency meeting tomorrow morning.

His move is fast.

And Jo Il Shin meets Deuk Heung very often recently.

- I knew it. - The King is all by himself.

Are you not coming back?

Are you not?

I told you that I'm going to save her life first and send her back to heaven.

And then I'll be back.

- I'm going to go to Jeon Eui Shi. - How's Eui Seon?

There's still poison left in her body.

Just like he said, I should bring more antidote?

I'm taking some of the antidote.

I'm going to try to find the ingredients.

I'll send some medicine with Dae Man.

It won't get rid of the poison but it'll stop the paralysis.

I heard I almost died.

It's my fault.

You always say that.

I sent Deuk Heung to you by threatening him to bring the notebook to you.

So you got the antidote from him, right?

Come here.

What are you doing?

Help me get up.

Why?

You said it's your fault that I almost died. So just do what I say.

Sit behind me.

Behind you?

I want to lean on you.

Laying down makes me feel so stuffy.

And it's hard to breathe.

You have to take six more doses of the antidote. Once every three days.

- But I don't know if it's true. And... - I had a dream.

I don't know if it's a dream or it's just something I've seen before.

I don't know. There was this house that I've never seen before.

And there was a me that I haven't seen before.

Is this why you cried?

I saw you in my dream.

Was I in your dream?

Hey, partner.

Yeah.

I found out the date.

Before I collapsed.

Now I know when the heaven's door will be opened.

When is it?

In about a month.

If I don't go back on that date, I have to wait another 67 years.

That's what it says on the notebook.

In order to go back to my world before I die,

I have to go on that date.

Is this the emergency meeting that you called?

Okay.

You may begin.

- Your Majesty. - Tell me.

The Queen of Yuan, my sister, sent me a long letter.

You all know that she was one the Goryeo people and has become the Queen of Yuan.

So she always worries about Goryeo.

In the letter, she's very worried that

that the King of Goryeo hasn't used the seal that the King of Yuan has given for him.

So the King of Yuan doesn't know how to interpret this act of the King of Goryeo.

What's going on here?

Don't tell me you've lost it.

That can't be happened, right? The King's seal is the symbol of a country.

Losing the seat means that you don't qualify to be a good king for the people.

What is he talking about now?

The King hasn't lost the seal. It can't be happening!

I can just tell her not to worry about it.

Your Majesty, please show us the seal. Then I'll write her a letter.

And I can write it's just a rumor.

Your Majesty.

I got rid of the seal.

The letters that are engraved on the seal: Bu Ma Guk Wang Seon Myung.

I am a son-in-law to the King of Yuan.

But before that, I'm the King of Goryeo.

So I'm planning to make my own seal just for the king of Goryeo.

Are you saying that you're ignoring the seal that the King of Yuan gave you

and make your own seal?

Yes.

That's disloyalty to the King of Yuan and a high treason for Yuan dynasty.

That's too bad.

This kind of decision isn't something that you can make by yourself.

You should've asked what we thought of that.

Then think now. Think of what I should engrave on a new seal that I'm going to make.

- Your Majesty. - You may say.

The command you just gave us might put Goryeo at risk.

It can incur Yuan dynasty's anger and that might lead us to a war with Yuan.

- And it will put the people in danger. - So it was all talk?

Your Majesty, we all might be dead.

You told me that Goryeo should be independent from Yuan.

You always wanted to be free from Yuan. But was it only all talk?

Your Majesty, I want you to think ideally, but please consider the people in Goryeo.

Have you even asked the people...

what they want? Or is it because you're afraid of Yuan?

Please bring some of the retainers to Gang Ha Jeon.

We should prepare for Yuan's move just in case.

And plan for a good defense strategy for the border area.

Is the King really planning to get rid of the seal and make his own seal?

He doesn't say that he doesn't mean it.

Until when do we have to keep using the seal from Yuan?

So are you saying we should declare war just because of the seal?

Declaring war just because of the seal doesn't make sense already.

Teacher, I'm...

There's a real problem that we have to solve for Goryeo's safety.

A man who threatens all retainers with the power of Yuan and brought up this incident.

Are you talking about Excellency Gi Cheol?

Some of the retainers here are worried and complain about him.

I can't stand him anymore.

I will see you all later.

You guys are still keeping the secret of the seal incident, right?

Of course, we are.

If it's revealed, your captain will never be able to come back.

I'll keep that in mind.

You saw what happened in the meeting, right?

- Yes, I did. - The King's plan isn't a very good plan at all.

So, now we have a reason.

For Goryeo's safety, he will rise to revolt.

Revolt?

In a couple of days, Gi Cheol's private soldiers will be back in Gae Kyung.

Then his chance will be gone.

That's too fast.

A revolt shouldn't take long.

If it's taking too long, the secret information will get revealed eventually.

When there's is a chance, we should grab it.

Go talk to Excellency Ja Wun. He's also on my side now.

- May I ask you something? - Yes, you may.

So if I attack Gi Cheol with my soldiers and get rid of him,

can you guarantee that his house and position are mine?

That's not enough.

I told you I need to become a king to guarantee those.

That was what I wanted to know.

How are you going to become a king? I want to make sure I'm not being used.

Leave that up to me.

So just do what you have to do.

Il Shin has been very busy recently.

He's meeting people all day long.

And Excellency Ja Wun got very close with Il Shin.

For the last couple days, they've been meeting royal guards.

Did you not hear what they are up to?

What we've found out was that most of

the head of the royal guards are now on Il Shin's side.

Why are you interested in what he's up to recently?

My guys need to get back to work. How long do they have to keep watching them?

Il Shin made me take the blame and kick me out from the palace.

I think he wants to have Wu Dal Chi too.

Why is he working so hard gathering troops? I'm so curious.

Do it right.

- Give me it. - Fine. You try it.

By the way, let me ask you something.

Let's say you got all the secret information.

And you tell everything to the King.

Then do you think he's going to tell you to be the Captain again and welcome you?

No wonder why you guys are businessmen.

You don't want to do anything unless there's a benefit.

Here.

It's going to taste bitter.

It's supposed to be. It's medicine.

Feed me.

It's not hot.

Here.

At one go.

I'm going to go get the second antidote.

Are you going to go see Deuk Heung?

Yes.

- You should've beaten him up. - I did.

Can you ask him something if you see him?

What?

If there's another paper in the last page of the notebook.

I saw the notebook in my dream and there was another last page.

Do you want to know if what you saw in the dream is true?

I mean, if there isn't another page, then it was just a dream.

So I want to make sure it was just a silly dream.

Okay.

Hey, are you okay?

What's wrong?

- I can't move my hands. - What? Your hands?

Oh my gosh. Your hands feel like stone!

Oh my gosh, what should I do? This isn't good.

What's your condition for tonight?

Tell me what you want.

Talking with me about the world all night long is the condition for today.

It'd be better if you can play go with me.

It'll be until the sun rises.

- If the sun rises, then it's the 3rd day. - Oh, yeah.

That's close. Timing is very important for an antidote.

I told you I've used it before.

One day, I was so busy so it was an hour late to take the antidote.

And this guy couldn't breathe at all, and that led to his death.

Do you know how to play go?

Playing go alone is kind of fun.

It's like fighting with myself, not with the time.

Can you also compete against yourself with the sword?

You're a wanted person. What are you doing here?

Ask him.

Excellency, I told you to tell me ahead if you're going to see him.

I knew you'd come here because Eum Ja has been watching you ever since.

Have a seat.

I made you and him come here purposely. Choi Young is my man now.

And you're the one who brought me here. So we're on the same boat now.

We should hang out more.

When did you become Excellency Deuk Heung's person?

Excellency Gi Cheol, have a seat here.

Let's see, what time is it now?

What did you say?

I sent them there.

I did what you haven't been able to do.

2,000 royal guards would be attacking Gi Cheol's house by now.

Did you send them all?

Then what about the defense for the palace?

You controlled my army without telling me?

Choi Young will never know what's happening now.

I'll bring Gi Cheol's head, who keeps threatening you.

Get him now. He controlled the King's army without my permission!

Wu Dal Chi!

For 10 years, I took care of you at Yuan.

I was very happy to take you back to Goryeo.

But you never took care of me.

You ignored my loyalty to you.

Protect the King!

So this meeting is just for bonding us together?

Yeah.

My Lord.

- My Lord. It's an ambush. - What?

We're ambushed by royal guards.

They outnumbered us. We couldn't defend them.

The King has no guts to do that.

Especially without you.

A person who can make me and my people come here so we aren't at home...

You can't kill him yet.

- Search thoroughly. - Yes, sir.

It's here.

Did you really become his person?

Stop speaking nonsense and go take care of your house.

How many soldiers can we assemble now?

We can assemble about 800 of them.

We're going to attack the palace after we get our soldiers.

After we attack the palace, I'm going to hold the King hostage.

And deal with you or Deuk Heung using the King.

Since all the royal guards are at my house, the palace is an empty house now.

The target is Gang Ha Jeon.

You.

What are you?

There's still time left until the sun rises. We can talk through this.

Or are you going to give up the antidote and go help the King?

Now I know what kind of person you are.

I'm going to go to the palace.

Did he run away? How? I gave you 500 royal guards to make him stay in the palace!

- Let's go. - My brother died!

- I didn't know. - Aren't you afraid to be a king?

Did you ask him that? I think I have to go see the Excellency.
