You should go inside. It's beginning to rain. Episode 20.

- Sorry! - Impudent Child!

- Oh no! - We're in trouble!

Greetings ma'am.

Who are they?

They're the people of Haneuljae.

Isn't that Jang?

What are they doing here? Follow me!

Yes!

Hurry, hurry!

What do you think you are doing?

Why are you Haneuljae people here? What are you doing?

Answer me!

Yes! I'd like to know myself. What is all this?

It's paper, as you can see.

Is this the paper that you have made?

Yes.

Crown Prince! This paper is much better than the paper from Soo.

Really? How do you know?

Feel it.

Paper must be strong, smooth, and the surface must be perfect

to prevent ink blots.

How do you know such things?

A drop of water can show you.

Look, the water spreads in the same width.

And that's not all.

No?

The paper that we used to use weren't mothproof and rotted easily.

But not this one.

How can you be so sure?

We used glue fermented for 10 years.

It has adhesive strength, and prevents the paper from rotting.

Oh! How amazing!

And you're telling me that you and the people of Haneuljae made this?

No.

No?

Others have made this paper.

This old lady gave us the fermented glue,

and this man here designed the club for beating the paper.

This is how we were able to make paper

more strong and less spreading.

We, the people of Haneuljae, only helped these two.

Su has always asked for the precious tax of our people for their paper.

But now, we can make our own, much better than Su!

This is possible because of people like you, in Great Baekjae.

So, let their names be recorded in the new book, Baekjae Shinki.

And let Baekjae remember them forever!

Doctor, this is what you wanted to see, is it not?

This is the strength that you wished to see, is it not?

Crown Prince has told us to gather in the assembly hall.

You have done a great work!

Make as many paper you can, before the envoy from Su arrives!

Yes!

What you could not do for over a year,

these people of Haneuljae have done as soon as they came here!

My Lord, it was the people who were already in the palace that did it.

That is what I'm saying!

There were people who already knew how to make it,

but none of you found them! How come?

Was it a disobedience towards me?

No, my Lord.

Then? Then what?

What is it?

We have something to tell you.

Punish us!

What do you mean?

The truth is that we lied during the last test,

and made Jang lose his position.

You lied?

Ignoring the duties of studying nature, we paid to the authorities in skill.

What? Paid to the authorities in skill?

Yes.

Jang prepared a test for us to prove that...

But you all refused.

Yes, my Lord. So punish us!

If what you are saying is true, there will be people to punish.

Don't you agree, Doctor Wooyoung!

I will investigate thoroughly and

deprive the position of engineers who were paid in skill.

Is that all?

I will also take responsibility from this situation,

and step down from head position.

Doctors, vote the head of Taehaksa once again.

Is it true? We're voting again?

Yes.

But everyone knows that Doctor Mok Rasoo will become head.

Of course!

It should have been that way from the beginning.

Now Taehaksa seems to going in the right way.

No more bullying for us!

It's wonderful! Jang is a great man, he didn't give up!

Not only Jang! Eunjin, too!

Saying "Because we're here!" In front of all those scary people...

I was just amazed!

Hmph! That was nothing.

Here comes Jang!

I have lost.

You are certainly better than me.

I have done nothing this time.

The greatest thing that you did,

is that you did nothing.

I have learned a great lesson.

Doctor was taking a risk.

A risk?

He trusted us, his disciples for 10 years, and gambled.

If you didn't go for it till the end,

and if the people of Haneuljae didn't understand you, or help you,

Doctor would have lost this game.

But you didn't give up, and the people of Haneuljae helped you.

And doctor won, he won this game of fate.

I wasn'tjust gambling.

I wanted to teach you something.

I have heard from the Crown Prince that you wanted power.

What power did you feel this time?

What did you feel?

People. I felt the power of people.

If there aren't the people of Haneuljae who have the same goal with me,

I wouldn't have been able to do anything on my own.

Yes. And you are my power, my strength.

I have shown them today, my biggest power.

Who's that?

Boo Yeosun.

Importing paper from Su was a bigger benefit to the aristocrats.

Because of the new skill in making paper,

Aja will derive all the benefits.

But you shouldn't step down just because of such things.

If I didn't step down, we would have been cut off from Taehaksa.

Mok Rasoo has taught us a lesson, and we should learn.

And we should prepare a new fight.

Master.

I believe we can go a long way now.

Do you?

Now that the position of doctor is confirmed, I can see

the Baekjae Shinki, and make a copy of it.

Let's meet here three days later.

Yes.

But it has been a long time since Gusan left, and he hasn't returned yet.

I'm worried that something may have happened to him.

What is going on?

This is Kim Sa Heum's home!

It's an order from Wesong.

Put down all your weapons, and do as we say.

What is it?

There has been an order to reinvestigate your soldiers,

about hiding away Mok Rasoo and his people.

Hiding away! How dare you!

We'll find out about that. So please follow.

It has been decided at the Hwabaek meeting. Let's go!

Inform the king.

What is it?

You have been summoned to the Hwabaek meeting.

What?

Follow us.

What's the matter?

In Silla, there are soldiers who do that kind of work.

Why did you send private soldiers, in catching Mok Rasoo and his people?

Because...

And why did the Baekjae soldiers come on the day when the doctors were appointed?

That I do not know.

Even if he had been wounded,

and dragged to Baekjae, he should have returned by now.

Where in the world is Kim Doham?

What do you mean?

Not telling about Princess Sunhwa's transference, sending private soldiers,

the exact day when the Baekjae soldiers appeared,

and Kim Doham who disappeared, hasn't come back yet?

Isn't there too much to think itjust as a coincidence?

Then are you saying that my son Doham secretly worked with Baekjae?

How dare you!

Doham is on a secret mission for the sake of Silla and his king!

Not for Silla, but for himself and his family.

Perhaps he ignored even the Hwabaek meeting, and

made a secret trade with the king over princess Sunhwa?

What?

There's no rule to stop him from working secretly with Baekjae!

They even freed Sunhwa, to keep things under countrol within the palace.

Why are they reinvestigating Kim Saheum's soldiers?

It was decided at the Hwabaek meeting.

There was nothing that I could do.

Even so, she is your sister. You should've stopped Wesong.

I did try my best.

But everyone in the market knew, and so did the Hwarangs.

They all said that nothing could be done.

Princess, what shall we do?

They say they are going to reinvestigate Kim Saheum's soldiers.

Princess! The king is coming.

Sit down.

What are we to do? What shall we do?

Forgive me, your gracious.

You are also a lady of the palace.

You know how harsh and cruel the palace is.

You know how fiercely the aristocrats are fighting over you and

Princess Chunmyung and Dukman, for the next generation.

It's worse than the war between the three countries.

Negotiation or diplomacy can be used during war between countries,

but nothing can be done in the fightings for royal power.

It never ends until one has been completely defeated!

Your majesty, I will end what I have begun.

Abandon me.

I cannot. You know how precious I thought of you.

You know how I was fond of you.

Did you not realize that that was the reason I was

trying to marry you to Kim Doham, and not to a stronger aristocrat?

Your majesty!

Master Lee Chan has already gone to bed.

It's still broad daylight! How can he be in bed?

Come again another day.

Master isn't home.

They said he went home at the palace.

What brings you here?

Is it true?

That Princess Sunhwa loves a man from Baekjae? That she did

nothing when Doham was going to Baekjae, wounded by an arrow?

If it is true, then we, hwarangs will not stand still.

What is the hwarang?

We are people always prepared to die for the royal family and for Silla.

But to betray a hwarang! Such a cruel behavior!

It will not be forgiven.

And Doham? Is he all right?

Why hasn't he returned yet?

Yes... we should abandon Princess Sunhwa... Princess Sunhwa...

Send someone quickly to Baekjae, and stop Doham from returning.

What?

That's the only way for us to live.

Don't ever let him come back here until I give word.

Or we could all be destroyed!

Finally, my mission is almost complete!

- What are you doing here? - We came to look.

Look?

The engineer who tormented you got degraded, and now is the same rank as you.

We came to see how you'd act to that.

First I'll change my way of speech, then tease, hit, and flip,

bite, break and make them like rags...

Hey! Let's organize our relationships.

Eunjin.

I know we didn't start off well,

but we are all members of Taehaksa.

Let's forget the past, and all the wrongdoings,

and start a new friendship.

I, too, will try my best, engineer Soyoung!

Yes, let's.

Eunjin, you look different.

Do I?

Doctor will be so proud of you, as I am,

if he finds out how mature you acted.

It's nothing really.

Thank you.

And come by to the paper workshop. Things aren't as smooth without you.

- Help me when you can! - Sure.

Eunjin, what's wrong with you? How can you change so suddenly?

Oh, what's wrong with me?

Maybe another person's soul came inside me!

Whew, is Soyoung gone?

I could have given Soyoung a good punch!

I missed such a great chance! What's it with me?

What a pity!

What? What's the problem?

You took the lead last time.

I'm not sure if we pounded the wood, or grinded it.

You dummy! The paper from Soo was made by grinded wood

and was easily torn, so we pounded wood! Pay attention!

Don't you remember?

It's always like this.

Eunjin is the smartest, after all.

Yes, she's very accurate, like Ms. Mojin.

Bumro, you idiot!

Bumro, will you get out of my way?

Why? Is something wrong?

Mom!

What now? Did someone accuse you of something?

You hated Jang,

and I was also troubled by him, but we went to protect him.

- If you touch a hair on him, - I'll kill you all!

It was a dangerous situation.

But why did we actually defend Jang like that?

Well, that was more like sympathy, I suppose.

And what Jang had said wasn't wrong.

But why do you ask?

I think someone else's soul came inside me ever since that day.

What are you talking about?

Well, I'm not sure myself,

but I keep saying things I don't think, and I sound like you!

And I'm becoming more careful...

That you're becoming like me is good news.

No, it isn't.

I think this is... Well, I think...

Jang? Jang...

No way, no way...

No way...

Eunjin.

Yes, it was him!

Jang! Jang!

What will I do?

I have heard that Wooyoung decided to leave head.

Yes, your majesty.

There's still the voting left to be done,

but it seems like you're decided. Crown Prince is pleased.

I hope for the same.

But you should remember their power.

Because the brothers and nephews protect the benefits of aristocrats,

they support them.

Aja is trying to rebuild the power of the royal family,

and make Baekjae strong,

but if he tries too hard, he will be in danger.

If the aristocrats refuse to offer their soldiers we can't fight in war,

and if they don't offer goods, we can't manage Baekjae.

Right now the only man who can move all the aristocrats,

excpet for the Jins, is Boo Yeosun.

Keep that in mind!

Yes, your majesty.

After the battle of KwanSanSung, his majesty has suffered greatly from

the aristocrats. Remember his words. I know you will serve him well.

Yes.

Master Wanggu!

What is it?

I have a question.

What?

I've heard that 20 years ago, while I left Taehaksa,

an dancer called Yeon Gamo was accused by the aristocrats.

Do you know what happened?

Why do you ask?

Do you know her?

How do you know her?

Actually, we were to marry.

What happened?

She had an affair with the royal guard,

and had been called to account.

Do you know who he was?

He was killed right away.

What?

Yes, wasn't that the day before the proposition?

What is it?

A letter from home.

What?

A note came from the man we sent to Achak.

Yeon Gamo's son has appeared.

What?

He's at the house, right now.

- Let's go! - Yes.

Which one is he?

This is him.

Who's this?

This is the man who forged their identification tag.

He knows the son without mistake.

Yes, I do.

This is the son of the woman that you were looking for.

Reward me as you promised.

What is your mother's name?

Yeon Gamo.

What is your name?

I have been moving around, and I have had many names.

Woosik, Sulgoo, Jeukcha, Jang, Seodong...

His latest name was Seodong.

I made the fake tag, so I'm certain it's him.

We called him Seodong, because he sold yam.

Give me the necklace.

What? The necklace?

What necklace...

You bastard!

Take them, hit them, and kick them out!

What are you doing?

- Take them. - Yes.

Forgive me. I secretly promised them a reward...

I don't think we can find him this way.

If the necklace was there when Aja was fighting, it means he already knows.

Do you think he'd come here?

But we searched everywhere near Crown Prince,

and never found a trace of another prince.

There must be no relation.

If so, If he comes in his own will...

Just in case, we'll keep posting men.

He's been killed?

But then why did you tell Jang that his father was alive?

What had happened? Yeon Gamo.

What is it?

Um...

I was wondering if it was okay to vote for Mok Rasoo as head.

Do as you want.

What brings you here?

The people of Haneuljae had been in Silla for ten years.

We would like to visit our homes.

Do as you please.

Thank you.

I have a request, doctor.

What is it?

I'd like to visit home for a while.

I asked for the same thing, and she allowed it.

What?

Everyone had left Baekjae for a long time, right?

And after we came back, I was busy adapting to a new life.

Yes.

Tell everyone to visit their homes.

Doctor says to go visit your homes.

Home?

Before then, learn everything you can

from doctor Mok Rasoo, and win his approval!

And when you turn twenty, come meet mom here.

Home, home...

I've heard that you lost your mother there. Your heart must be sore.

You lost your parents by the border near your home.

Same thing, I guess.

Take care.

What kind of greeting is that?

Anyway, thanks for saving my life. At least I get to go home.

What the...

And I learned a lot from you.

Very funny.

Sometimes I used to wonder...

Are we the same kind of people? Or are we not?

If we met in a different situation, would've we been friends? Or enemies?

Let's not meet as enemies. You scare me.

Father, buy me clothes like this, too.

Ask your stepmother to buy you.

Lady Kuksoo?

Doctor is coming out.

Doctor, have a safe trip.

Yes, don't worry about me.

Take care, all of you.

Yes, you, too.

Have a good trip.

You, too.

Now let's really break our unfortunate relationship

and fight as a Baekjae Taehaksa and a Silla Hwarang!

What are saying?

Are you saying that the Princess and my father are in danger?

Yes, and master seems to have other plans,

he ordered not to return until he sends word.

- Not to return? - Yes.

No, I must go.

I can'tjust stay here when the princess and father is in trouble.

I can't stay here.

- Let's go! Come on! - But...

We can go to Silla and check the situation first.

Your majesty, there is great trouble!

Your majesty, there is great trouble!

What is it?

Angry hwarangs have rised in revolt everywhere!

Why all of a sudden?

They say that Kim Doham, Kim Doham

returned as a corpse!

They say he seems to have died long ago,

and it's almost impossible to recognize him!

What?

So the hwarangs are outraged, and angry at Princess Sunhwa

because her love for one Beakjae man caused the death of a hwarang.

Oh, no... oh, no...

What shall we do?

They are young hwarangs. They do not know how to negotiate.

And as the corpse arrived, it became like spilling oil on fire.

Kim Saheum, you wretched creature!

He should have told me about the corpse first!

But to tell it to the hwarangs!

Abandoning Princess Sunhwa so you would live?

This is impossible! This can't happen!

This will not be.

Is it true that Princess Sunhwa abandoned hwarang Kim Doham,

who went on a secret mission, just to save a mere Baekjae man?

Is it true that she let Taehaksa's head to live, while Kim Doham died?

We will not forgive her! We cannot forgive her!

We will not forgive her! We cannot forgive her!

We cannot let this be passed by!

If she let Taehaksa's man live, and let a hwarang die,

it is an act of betrayal!

True!

We must go and tell this to the king!

Yes!

Let's tell Poongwulju and give this to the king!

Give it to the king!

If the situation goes on like this, Sunhwa will not be able to recover.

But we cannot get rid of Kim Saheum.

The hwarangs are in an uproar,

and Kim Saheum's family is protected.

The aristocrats are concerned about Princess Sunhwa,

But they are also concerned about the family of Kim Saheum.

They are also concerened about his property and men.

I've heard that the Baekjae people thought him as one of them,

and took him to Taehaksa. How did Kim Saheum bring his corpse here?

They found his grave, and the soldiers went there.

Found out.

Yes.

What should we do?

The hwarangs are angry enough to cause a riot.

The king's power had them under control,

but now princess... princess...

Did Kim Doham really die?

That is not important right now.

Did he really die?

Yes.

Princess.

My sins are great... too great.

You are certain that you saw Poongwulju go into the palace?

Yes.

We will live.

This is only known between you and me. Never reveal the secret.

Yes.

Gusan went to Baekjae, right?

Yes.

Doham must never, never come back.

He won't.

Your majesty, Wesong and Poongwulju are asking to see you.

Let them in.

Let them in.

What is it?

Poongwulju says he has come with a message of the hwarangs.

Your majesty.

Princess.

Poongwulju and Wesong have gone to see the king.

Now what should we do?

Let's go.

Go?

Go to the king.

What for?

I cannot burden the king any longer. I must go and tell him.

And what will you say?

Hwarang is an organization that can only exist

by loyalty to the royal family, and loyalty to Silla.

This is possible because of the faith that

the royal family can make Silla a strong country.

We will not abandon our faith,

and we will stay forever with the royal family,

and that is why we ask you and Princess Sunhwa to make a decision.

We cannot forgive her for loving a man of Baekjae, but that

she cannot divide her private life from her country's fate, is worse.

That she let the head of Taehaksa free, is an act of betrayal.

And to allow a hwarang to die for such a thing,

makes us feel deceived and wretched.

So we kneel before you and ask of your courageous decision.

Princess Sunhwa should kill herself

and do her duty as a lady of the royal palace.

Your majesty.

Hear! Let all of you hear!

I myself know the spirit and the loyalty of hwarangs!

And so I understand the betrayal you must have felt

when Princess Sunhwa fell in love with a Baekjae man.

But!

Princess Sunhwa did not betray anyone!

I am sorry that Kim Doham had to sacrifice because of Sunhwa

but as I searched to find him!

Kim Doham went to Baekjae by his own will, betraying Silla!

What?

Is that really true?

Kim Doham is doing well, under the protection of Baekjae.

Then the corpse Kim Saheum brought?

It was set up by Kim Saheum.

I have already sent people to Baekjae, to punish Kim Doham,

and ordered to arrest Kim Saheum.

So trust me and let me take care of Princess Sunhwa!

He died, to save you.

Princess, how are you doing?

I, who you have let me be,

am back here, where I had lived with my mother.

Don't soldiers have mothers? How can they hit the same spot?

You can't even talk back when you're beaten by those bastards,

You don't tell why you have a fake tag,

you don't tell why you move around,

you smile while you're slapped, and you're just so innocent.

It's just that you're using fire and flour bombs in the wrong way.

If you go there, they'd praise you.

They'd probably say that you're a great genius!

Really?

Of course!

I don't think I can make you into a great person.

But Jang!

You must be great.

You must be a great person.

So you must go to Taehaksa.

Taehaksa?

He will be able to teach you well.

He might come,

I told you to guard well, and always keep an eye on things!

It's been ten years, do you still think he's come?

You haven't seen the house.

If only Seodong comes, we'll be rich with the reward!

Same as usual, huh?

Don't you recognize me?

Ninety nine to one! Seodong, the yam seller!

You're really Seodong! Seodong!

You came, you came! We were going to...

Seodong!

Long time no see! Good to see you again!

Yes, it is. You haven't gone gray boss.

You little brat! I waited for you!

Yes, yes.

Me? Why?

What do you mean why? I just felt bad for what I'd done.

Didn't even buy you a drink!

Hey, you! Bring us some drinks!

How long has it been? We need a drink, eh?

Wait.

Tell him quickly.

Yes, I will.

I'll go as fast as I can and get some drinks. Wait, wait.

No thanks. We weren't that close anyway.

That's not true. Aren't you going to go to your mom's grave?

What? Mother has a grave?

Your mother was found dead by the river.

I remembered you, so I placed her in a sunny spot.

Where? Where?

Let's go.

He's here! He's here!

Who? Who's here?

Seodong! Seodong is here!

Are you not lying like last time?

No! If I'm lying, you can kill me.

Really?

Didn't I say so? Our boss is with him now, but we've got to hurry.

There's no one here you idiot!

Where did they go? Where did they go?

Boss! Boss!

Yes, that's the way!

He told me to take Seodong there, too!

- Let's go. - Lead the way.

Mother, mother...

Oh, mother...

Seodong's here, mother...

Seodong's here...

Bow.

You still live like this?

This grave was here when I was here!

You should do something with your age.

I don't have anything to feed you.

No, there's someone looking for you and your mother.

They said they'd reward us if we only found you.

It was a huge house.

Why would anyone look for me? Go before you get hit again!

Seodong! Seodong!

They're not here, you fool!

They should be...

Boss! Boss!

What happened? Where's Seodong?

Darn! The brat got so strong...

You lied again, didn't you?

No! It was really him this time!

Hey! Search for him!

Search all of Seodong's old friends, ok?

It's not that!

There's someone looking for you and your mother.

Sukdoo!

Seodong!

How?

Good to see you.

Where were you?

Here and there.

We tried so hard to find you.

Me? Why?

Actually, there's someone who's been looking for you.

Boss wasn't lying?

You met him?

Yes. He said someone rich was looking for me.

Yes, it's true.

We had such a hard time looking for you,

I even pretended to be you once, because boss told me to.

What?

But he asked this and that to see if it was really you.

Everything else, boss had already prepared.

Since boss knew that you and your mother had fake tags,

he searched and found out your names, and where you lived.

But they asked something about a necklace.

A necklace?

Yes, do you know what it is?

A necklace?

A necklace?

Then that person must know the mysterious jewel...

Perhaps... my father?

On your twentieth birthday, meet your mother here.

Was father supposed to see me when I am twenty?

Could it really be?

Boss, now we can eat all we want, right?

Of course! We're going to be rich!

Come on! Let's hurry to Yukak! Master is there!

Master! Master!

Moksuk.

Yes, good to see you.

Thanks! Friends will be friends, I guess.

Actually, we're no different from boss. See how poor we are?

We both have big families, but we live like this.

We don't even have enough soup!

So please, go to the house with us.

We don't know your story,

but it doesn't seem like it'll harm you,

and the reward will be better used by us than boss.

Yes, I know the house,

and you can just think it as charity.

Yes, I was thinking of going there myself.

You were?

Thank you, thank you!

But, where is this house?

Sabi.

Sabi.

Is there no news from there?

Yes.

I think I'm wasting my time on nonsense.

If he knows Aja, he will not be there,

and he certainly doesn't have any reason to be here.

They will be probably be protecting him.

Should we just withdraw?

Yes. But search Aja's side more deeply.

Yes.

If there is a relation, it won't be too difficult to find.

Yes.

Would it really be father? Really? But if not... it not...

We were going to withdraw anyway.

Yes. But the bastard that came last time

came again, saying that Seodong came...

How can we believe him?

That's what I thought, but he said he'd risk his neck...

And where is he?

They lost him.

- Lost him? - Yes.

According to them, the fake Seodong and his friend took him along.

And are you sure there were no other soldiers with him?

Yes, he has appeared all alone.

Find him! Find him!

Yes.

Why? Are you nervous because you think it's your father?

If it's true...

Prince Aja may not know anything yet.

Then...

General, may I come in?

There are three men who claim they're from Achak.

What? Three men from Achak!

I believe it's the two friends, and the one.

What do you want me to do?

Bring in the one inside.

Yes.

Who is Seodong?

General tells him to come inside.

Who is it?

This is General Boo Yeosun's house?

Yes, follow me.

- What's the matter? - Aren't you going inside?

Boo Yeosun?

Why isn't he coming in?

Where is he?

Where did he go?

What's wrong?

I know this person.

You do? Good!

Let's go inside and talk.

I know him in a bad way.

Let's just go.

Why? It could be your father.

Or someone who knows your father.

At least we're here, let us get the reward.

Yes, think of us.

I'm really sorry, but I don't think I can.

Then, I'll go in.

No!

It has to be him. He'll ask about a necklace.

Then what are we to do? Seodong refuses to go in...

Then, go and ask just this.

What?

They're gone?

They've disappeared.

Forgive me. They must have lied, again.

I am Seodong!

Are you Seodong?

Yes, I have been called by that name.

What is your mother's name?

Yeon Gamo.

Where is she now?

Let me ask you something.

Are you the one who gave my mother the mysterious necklace?

You know the necklace?

I have heard that my father has given it.

Are you my father?

Or do you know my father?

Do you have the necklace?

I lost it.

Where? Where?

I don't know. I've been here and there. I don't remember where.

Are you the one who gave the necklace?

I need to know!
