Episode 21.

Who is Seodong?

General tells him to come inside.

This is General Boo Yeosun's house?

I am Seodong!

Are you Seodong?

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?

My mother told me,

that when I am twenty, I'd be able to meet my father.

But my mother has died, and I don't know what to do.

Do you have the necklace?

I lost it.

Where?

I don't know where.

Are you the one who gave me the mysterious necklace?

I need to know!

- What's that noise? - Where?

Catch them!

Who was there?

He had his friends with him...

Find them immediately, and bring them here!

Yes!

It was you!

Do you know the mysterious necklace?

What's going on? Why Moksuk!

The reward was nothing but a lie! They just wanted to kill you.

And we didn't know... we were blinded by money...

I even pretended to be you, and shoved you in!

What is the necklace? What is it?

What are we to do? Surely they will kill us, too!

Run straight home,

take Moksuk's family with you, and leave here.

Where to? Where to?

To Byukjoong, Pomi, or Jiban... Anywhere! Don't let anyone know.

And you? What about you? You're in more danger!

They thought Moksuk was me, and killed him.

Right, they did... they did.

I have heard that my father has given it. Are you my father?

Or do you know my father?

How did it go?

We lost them. Should we go find them and kill them?

Never mind. They'd be too scared to tell anyone.

But what if they were related to Aja?

Then we should get rid of them.

If they were sent to set me up, we must warn them for sure.

And even if they know we killed him, what could they do?

Yes, that's true.

We don't have anything to say if the forth prince was murderer.

Aja isn't that stupid. Aja doesn't know anything yet.

A prince that may become a headache must be cut off from the beginning.

Yes.

Why would the general want to kill me?

What relationship did he have with my father? What?

Why did he kill Moksuk just as he mentioned the necklace? Why!

Why the general! Why! Why! Why!

What is this all about?

I think things have gotten worse than before.

I'm not sure what's going on, but I believe you should be more careful.

Let's go home secretly.

Yes.

I think it's the king's plan to save Princess Sunhwa.

Yes, I think so, too. I don't think Kim Doham exiled himself.

The king knew there was nothing we could do with a dead man.

Any news from the men we sent to Baekjae?

Not yet.

Sangdaedeung Wesong is going in.

Come in.

What happened?

We sent a man to Taehaksa, and found out he didn't exile himself.

Of course not! How can a dead man flee?

He's not dead.

What!

Then where is he?

He is said to have gone home.

What?

Kim Saheum took a big risk to live.

Tell the soldier you know at Kim Saheum's house.

Tell him to inform us as soon as Kim Doham returns.

Yes.

If we're lucky, we'll be able to bury both Princess Sunhwa

and the family of Kim Saheum, as we wish.

Who is it?

Master!

Where's father?

You're right on time.

What happened?

Your father is in prison now.

In prison?

The king put him in prison because you exiled to Baekjae.

Go tell the king the truth, and he will be freed.

What is the grave for?

Not telling about Princess Sunhwa when he knew it all,

and hiding away Mokrasoo and his people to Baekjae,

master was confronted by the Hwabaek meeting.

So he tried to protect this family from destruction by using the hwarangs.

He told them I died?

Yes.

And because of that Princess Sunhwa was cornered...

And so the king said that I had fled to Baekjae!

Yes.

First, we must save master.

You must prove that you didn't exile.

Or your father will be in great danger.

It seems that the king was anxious to end this trouble.

If I choose the fake exile, Princess Sunhwa will be in danger.

If I choose the fake death, father will be in danger.

What am I to do? What?

Master, we must do something.

Master.

I must be presented to the king secretly.

And what will you do?

I will ask him for a pledge.

A pledge that promises not to abandon our family.

Then Princess Sunhwa will be saved, and we can expect sunny skies.

Would it be all right?

The king did such a thing, because he favors Princess Sunhwa.

And he did it, beacause he thought I was dead.

He will remember my loyalty,

and I am willing to sacrifrice again for Princess Sunhwa.

He will make a pledge!

I am not to be at the palace,

I will write a letter for you, carry it to the royal guard.

Yes.

What? He's here?

Yes, He is at home, right now.

All right. I will write a fake letter to Kim Doham, pretending to be king.

Go and give it to him.

Yes.

And when he is at the place where I told him to be,

Line up the soldiers nearby, is that clear?

Yes.

What?

An urgent message, your majesty!

Come in.

Your majesty, Kim Doham has arrived.

What?

He wishes to see you secretly.

Master!

Come in.

This is from the king.

All right.

Let's go.

Go secretly to Kim Doham's house and give him this.

Yes.

Why are you here in this hour?

Your majesty!

Kim Doham is at Songjuchong, surrounded by soldiers.

Your majesty! Why are you making things more difficult?

What will hwarangs say, when they have seen Kim Doham?

Your majesty!

Make a decision.

Your majesty!

Your majesty! I will be waiting for your secret letter

at MukjukGuri, near the gate.

What is it that you want?

Sunhwa is my daughter before she is a princess, I cannot kill her.

Tell me what you want.

Speak!

Leave Kim Saheum's matter to the Hwabaek meeting,

and forbid Princess Sunhwa in all political matters.

Your majesty!

If a royal family is forbidden to govern the country...

Yes, your majesty.

Your majesty!

All right. Do as you please.

Here he comes.

Are you the secret messenger?

The king has sent this!

Go ahead, master! Go ahead!

Hear, Princess Sunhwa!

You are now deprived of all your qualities of a princess!

Leave the palace and be a monk!

Your majesty.

Princess...

Sunhwa, what are we to do?

No, master. You need to be safe.

What happened to father? Where's father?

An order was given to destroy your family. Your men, your properties

have been taken, and your family is to be like slaves.

What? Slaves?

Yes, I believe this is a trap to catch you.

To send him as a slave...

I must save father, I must!

Give way! Give way!

I have gathered some men.

How dare you!

Father!

Forgive me, mother.

Forgive me, your majesty.

Father! Father!

Father!

Father!

More soldiers are coming.

You must leave. Quickly! Quickly!

The king... the king can't do this to us!

Abandoning our family who sacrificed for Silla for 15 years!

Your majesty! You can't do this to us!

You can't do this to me! I, who have tried my best to save you and the princess.

Father! Father!

Father!

Jang?

Huh?

What are you thinking? I asked for the glue at least ten times.

Oh, here you go.

Is something wrong?

No.

You've been acting weird ever since you came back from home.

Did something happen?

Did I look like that?

Is it because of your mother?

I was young back then, but I still remember.

Your mother shot by an arrow, and you crying.

Lean on me.

When you're weak, Ionely, and tired, lean on me.

What I mean is...

Jang!

Crown Prince is looking for you.

All right.

I can never get anything done right because of him!

Did something go wrong?

What? Never mind.

Hey, how come you're so ladylike these days?

Because it's time for you to marry me?

Let's just work quietly! We're the people of Haneuljae.

The reason why I called you today,

is to ask you to be my Naesole.

Forgive me, my Lord!

Doctor Mok Rasoo will now become head,

and I would like to concentrate more on studies.

But it would be a great help to Mok Rasoo.

I will help doctor, no matter what.

Do not worry.

All right.

I've heard that you went to visit your home, did you unburden yourself?

Your mother died, and your father is unknown, am I right?

Yes.

Should I search for some information about your father?

Does the prince know the secret of the general?

No.

Crown Prince, the king is coming.

What brings you here, my Lord?

I see that you are here, too.

Yes.

I have heard you made paper that helped the prince from his troubles.

Serve him well.

Yes.

As soon as Mok Rasoo came,

I heard that a new paper was made, against our benefits.

All the paper we used, were brought in from Soo,

and the money from the merchants of Soo were a great help.

I know. Inventing things that are against the aristocrats

just as soon as they arrived... this isn't good.

And I heard that he is most likely to become head.

Shouldn't we do something about it?

I don't like the idea of Mok Rasoo becoming the head myself.

But I have to admit that Baekjae needs him.

Then what?

Use him

Use him?

Actually, Baekjae has been falling down

because Taehaksa couldn't invent anything.

And that resulted in smaller benefits for the aristocrats.

Yes, that's true.

The problem is not Mok Rasoo developing Taehaksa,

but Crown Prince gaining power from it.

If we could use it as our power, it could be done.

Of course, that's something so much better.

We must, and will make it ours.

The soldiers are in my hands,

and all the power is in the hands of every aristocrat in every place.

Trust me.

Jang!

Yes?

Are you going to Taehaksa?

Yes.

Good. I need to talk to you.

You do what you want to.

A man must have such a huge mind.

You are fit for a position in the office.

Do you still think that my ways are wrong?

Throw away your prejudice, and think about it.

Who Baekjae needs, and who will make Baekjae strong.

You can't rule a country by heart.

Never by dreams, either.

It is only a survival through blood.

I will be crushed, on the moment they realize I have no power.

I have this feeling, that you will learn this someday.

Did you learn from Mok Rasoo since Yoohakdong?

- No. - Then?

Since Haneuljae.

I've heard that all the children who went to Haneuljae were war orphans.

And you?

Yes.

You're also good at fighting. How did you learn?

I practiced, while I was at Haneuljae.

I may not be a man of your style, but we can always share thoughts.

Talk to me whenever you need something.

There are problems that Crown Prince can solve,

and there are problems that I can solve.

Jang, what's the matter?

Nothing.

- Was there a threat? - No.

Maybe they're trying to do something before doctor becomes head!

I don't think so.

Even doctor Wooyoung has lost in this situtation.

Doctor!

Should I tell him about the general?

What is it?

Did the voting go well?

There will be news soon.

You and I have different mothers, but we are brother and sister.

So we have our similarities.

Unless father becomes king, we will never be able to fulfill our dreams.

That's why securing the aristocrats, was the most difficult thing.

What are you trying to say?

I put Taehaksa into your hands,

so I will not interfere with your votings.

But I need to know that we're gling in the same direction.

Of course.

All right, I trust you.

You're a woman, you'll have many things to go through.

You will have a lot of experience.

I should help father, right?

Yes.

Why is Boo Yeosun looking for me? I have to find out.

I should at least post someone.

Are you really going to the princess?

Master!

But she's the one who can change things around.

Have you forgotten that all these things have happened because of her?

She is leaving home, promising never to interfere with politics.

So I should stop her.

His majesty may abandon me, but the princess can not.

I will recover all this, with my own hands!

21, 22, 23, 24...

Why is it so busy here?

Today is the day of entering the Buddhist priesthood.

The ceremony is today?

Yes.

Then do you know where the palace women are staying?

The one who looks like and angel?

Today is her day.

Where is she?

In that room over there.

Did the ceremony already begin?

No, it's not that.

Princess Sunhwa has disappeared.

Everything is upside-down.

Baekjae... she went to Baekjae!

Come everyone!

Dad, where do you get all these?

Never mind, just eat.

What is it? Huh?

I said never mind. Don't ask, and don't try to find out.

Why? What is it?

Everything has a season. You're never sure when it will end.

On the day she reveals her true self, then all will end.

Reveals her true self? Who?

You still don't get it?

There's only one who doesn't reveal her true self these days.

It's scaring me out of my wits!

- Eunjin? - Who else?

These are bribes. Eunjin is the most popular girl today.

There are tons of guys who are asking me to introduce her.

Calling Eunjin an angel fallen from the sky.

Dad!

I told you not to ask.

How can you introduce the girl your son likes, to another guy?

And you call yourself dad?

Talk straight.

It's the girl you like, but the daughter of the woman I like!

You two are brother-and-sister.

If you don't stop that, I'll jump into the furnace!

It'll be hot.

What's wrong with you these days?

Why? Is something wrong?

Please just be yourself. Like you used to!

Like I used to? How was I like?

Scream, kick, and jump at food!

Just like you used to!

You're acting like a shy sheep, and the guys are all over you,

thinking you're and angel or something!

Just be yourself. I like the old Eunjin better.

Bumro! Life is hard, isn't it?

Taehaksa is unfamiliar, I'm unfamiliar...

But Bumro, we can't act like kids anymore.

We must help doctor Mok Rasoo, don't you agree?

Ms Mojin! Do something! What's wrong with her?

Well, I'm unfamiliar with her myself! Troubled, just like you.

And worried that she will suddenly change again.

Mother, that won't happen. The old Eunjin is gone now.

I feel like I'm born again, hit by lightning.

You'll never know, mother.

There certainly is something with her.

Please tell me when you find out.

Good for you to have come here!

Why?

I'd like to try the design that you did the other day.

Can you teach me?

Of course. With pleasure.

Extraordinary!

Really?

And um... I have a favor to ask.

Tell me anything.

You are close with that... Jang?

Yes.

Then please...

What's this?

It's nothing really. It's only a headscarf that I made.

Will you come out for a minute?

Pull it out!

Come on! Pull it out!

What's the matter with you?

I really want to be a new person, you know? Cooperate.

Huh? If only you'd tell me...

When someone's name is spoken, my eyes flip. Guess who?

Jang?

You should have known better.

Really? All right.

I'll never show myself in front of Jang again.

And tell the others, too, will you?

All right.

What? The materials are being smuggled?

There was a big gap between the raw materials and the products.

Even if they say Taehaksa has changed,

how can a person who studies, steal the materials?

This is because they lost heart.

They lost hope in becoming doctors despite their low ranks.

So now they're concerned with other things.

I think so.

Doctor Wooyoung is looking for you.

All right.

The voting date has been settled.

When is it?

- The day after tomorrow. - I see.

And I realized that there was another doctor on the list of Haneuljae people.

That's Giroo.

I thought Jang was your best disciple, but I guess I was wrong.

You made Giroo a doctor.

He has a great talent in studying, and a good heart.

But why isn't he here?

He was wounded on his way from Silla, and we had no time to introduce him.

Right now, he went home.

Will he be back by the meeting?

I think so.

Has Giroo come yet?

No, he seems to be taking long, because his home is near the border.

Jang! Someone asked to give this to you.

I'll be back soon.

Everyone's weird these days.

Has the date been settled?

Yes, it's the day after tomorrow.

I wish Giroo would be there.

Me, too. He would be a great help.

Giroo is coming!

I'm back.

Good. We were hoping you'd be here, before the day after tomorrow.

The meeting is held then. They will vote for a new head.

I see. But where's Jang?

Jang went out a few minutes ago. Someone came to see him.

What? Someone came? Who?

I'm not sure. He didn't say.

Everyone's weird. So weird.

First Eunjin, then Jang, and now Giroo! Why is everyone getting so strange?

Boss?

He's no boss! He's a swindler and a crook!

Are you sure?

I woke up and found out that he fled with everything.

Now I'm a total beggar, because of him.

I thought it was strange, when he didn't talk.

I should've investigated him. Who he was, where he lived...

But what now?

I can't live in the village anymore.

Is there no place for me to work here?

We're life buddies, and Crown Prince is fond of you.

There is an inn at the market.

Stay there! I'll be there when I'm done with work.

All right. Be sure to come!

Yes.

If you betray me, too, I'm going to kill myself!

All right.

You're here!

Here?

Did you meet?

What are you talking about?

Um... I'd like to eat something...

Here, for the time being.

Thanks!

What's the matter? What's wrong?

Nothing.

Brother!

You're here!

Did you eat anything?

You mean him?

Don't even mention. He ate like a hog! Five bowls of Kookbap!

I was afraid that you might not come. Come inside.

Not this time, please...

Welcome.

Do you have a quiet room?

- Yes, are you staying? - Yes.

We have to clean this room. Will the ladies wait for a while,

and will the men follow me?

I'll be going now.

Where are you going?

Let's go catch that dirty bastard right away!

I'll go find out, so brother, please stay here.

Perhaps!

Doham! How did you get here?

This voice?

Now that you're better off, you don't want to be with me?

How cruel! How mean!

My lady! My lady!

I have nothing to say.

Everything is my fault,

and I do not know what to do with all you have suffered.

Run away with me now.

I lost my father and my family was destroyed because of you.

I have become a shameful exile, but if you'd leave with me,

we can both recover.

Anywhere, in anything,

if you have power, you can recover.

You should, and you could.

Then I shall forgive the king, forgive you, and Jang.

I will forgive you all, without any hatred.

Here, now,

you are where you should never be,

but I will accept it as your final act of your past love.

Now if you'd accept my love, nothing will matter.

Not love that crushes a man to death, and betrays your country,

but love that rebuilds me,

and stands for Silla.

I love Jang, the Baekjae man. Don't say it!

Love isn't so great as to throw away everything.

Love does not last forever.

I, who have been through all pain, am willing to forgive you.

It's almost pathetic!

Run away with me now.

To Japan, to Chunchook, to Soo... Leave with me!

Wait, wait. Let me think for a while.

The meeting will begin soon, where's Giroo?

He hasn't been seen since yesterday. Perhaps something happened to him?

No one saw him?

Something seemed to be going on. I'll go and find him.

Whew, there he comes!

Where have you been?

Eveyone's been waiting.

Hurry inside. The meeting will soon begin.

And when you're inside, speak well of him.

Stay outside and wait. I'll tell you to come in.

Me?

I need you when I speak of doctor Mokrasoo.

- You're here? - Yes.

He is a doctor of Haneuljae.

He was hurt, so his introduction was late.

Introduce yourself.

I am Giroo.

Well, now that everyone's here, we will begin.

And as the pre-head, I will lead this meeting.

Yes, do so.

I have already considered to step down, and

have also recommended doctor Mok Rasoo as head.

This means that I will take responsibility for all the wrong doings.

But what it really means...

that doctor Mok Rasoo and I are not enemies.

Taehaksa is a place for studies, not politics.

We must use all our strength,

in strenghtening Baekjae.

And doctor Mok Rasoo is fit for the role.

Does anyone have other ideas?

Then today's meeting will be closed...

I have a different opinion.

Speak.

Come in.

I am against doctor Mok Rasoo in becoming the head!

The reason is because of this engineer Jang.

Because of Jang? What do you mean?

Jang, while we were all in Silla,

had an affair with a high rank woman of Silla.

So he fled with her during the night.

The problem is that the doctor allowed it.

Giroo!

So I am against doctor Mok Rasoo

becoming the head of Taehaksa.

In such a reality as this, when Baekjae, Kokuryo, and Silla are

against eachother, I cannot understand how a Taehaksa engineer

could run away with a Silla woman, and how doctor could

allow such an outrageous thing.

That's not true.

No, it isn't.

Who are you?

I am Mojin, and engineer who has been at Haneuljae

with the doctor, Jang, and Giroo.

How dare you come to a doctors' meeting!

Forgive my impudence,

but when I saw Giroo take Jang here,

I thought it was strange, and so I followed.

Doctor Giroo misunderstood.

I know because I was the investigator of Jang at Haneuljae.

The woman Jang loved,

was a Baekjae woman who was taken to Silla during war.

Jang tried to send her back to Baekjae,

and was followed by Silla soldiers all the way to Juneusung.

And there he lead the war to victory.

Yes, Ms Mojin's words are true.

Is what doctor Giroo said true?

Is what he said true?

Is it true?

I'll betray people if I can reach my goal.

Since when did we become different? Since when!

Since I saved your life!

I don't want to be a princess!

I don't want to be a Silla's person!

This is the end. The last.

I said not that one.

I'll never forgive you.

Work area is Soyundo!

The area where murderers go.

Just abandon us.

I'm going to clean my guilt. I'm going to live and back.
