Stop!

How did you lose In-Gyu Chae?

Did you... Let him go?

We must convince Daewongun.

This will decide if Joseon lives or dies.

He is planning to treachery against you and I...

I will figure it out.

You convinced and bribed one of the Catholics,

to run off with a fake letter.

Pledge your allegiance to me.

Get down on your knees and swear.

I will kill Heungseon Daewongun.

And change our country's destiny!

You mean the Lantern festival?

The Gyeongbokgung fire and Western invasion,

has terrified our citizens.

Opening a grand Lantern festival,

will be helpful for our people's morale.

Yes, I'll speak with the minister of administration,

and tell them to proceed with the festival.

But...

What will you do with Chun-Jung Choi, father?

Chun-Jung Choi...

Did he not pledge his allegiance to you?

It would be shame to lose him like this.

He only swore his loyal to me in order to save his colleagues.

But you are right, it would be shame.

If we choose to use him, we must cut his arms and legs off.

Stop.

Leave.

As you have requested, I have brought the gun powder.

It would have been difficult to steal this.

Great work.

The officer working there, takes bribes from the trading hall.

He cannot decline anything we ask for.

Hullyeondogam soldiers have completely surrounded, the trading hall.

Daewongun is making a huge deal out of the Catholic incident.

My Lord, I've heard a very terrible rumor.

I know.

After the Lantern festival ends tomorrow night,

Daewongun will arrest all of our people in the trading hall,

convict us of conspiracy, and kill us all.

Would he really kill more than dozens of people of us?

Heungseon-gun is trying to catch three birds with one stone.

One, he will kill my allies and cripple me.

Two, he will show the people his power and ferocity.

And three, warn the opposing political parties in the council.

In the end, once the festival is over,

we are all as good as dead.

So, we must succeed no matter what.

For our own lives...

And for our country.

Master.

Are you really going to do it?

If you are scared, you can leave.

But let me remind you,

This job is to end Heungseon-gun's life.

If you fail, not only will you die,

but your family will be killed and cut into pieces.

If you wish to leave,

I will not hold anything against you.

I was once a slave on a warship.

And my mother has passed away long ago.

The only family I have left is here...

I will do it, even if I die.

I agree with my big brother-in-law.

Alright.

- I am with you. - So am I.

Once it is set in motion, things will move quickly.

The night of the lantern festival.

That night...

We will hunt down a tiger!

I only have one way left,

to catch Chun-Jung Choi.

Give me your command, my Lord.

Go and get me the Princess and Chung-Jung Choi's baby.

Thank you for you support.

Are you really going to leave?

Although the Kim-Moons aren't what they used to be,

we still have Byung-Hak Kim.

We have enough man power to at least protect you and your child.

As stubborn as ever.

Did you hear that In-Gyu Chae has escaped in Ganghwa?

Yes, I'm aware.

You must be careful.

- Escort the princess with care. - Yes, Ma'am.

Thank you for everything.

Goodbye.

Let's go, Dana.

Goodbye.

Dan-Ah, let's go, hurry!

Come here!

Dan-Ah, my Lord achieves his mission, he will head to the trading hall.

Take the child and meet him there.

We must be waiting nearby.

Pardon me?

Take good care of my child.

- Hurry! You must go! - Yes.

This way.

Lord Daewonwee is passing through!

Move aside!

Lord Daewonwee is holding a Lantern Festival for all the people!

Everyone show your respects and gratitude for our Habha!

Listen carefully!

Lord Daewonwee is passing through!

Move aside!

Move aside!

Lord Daewonwee is passing through!

Move aside!

Lord Daewonwee is holding a?Lantern?Festival for all the people!

Everyone show your respects and gratitude for our Habha!

Let's go!

Lord Daewonwee is passing through!

What's with the instrument?

I've learned to create a time bomb in Britain.

I will use it to take Daewongun out.

Time bomb?

In order for a bomb to go off, gun powder must be ignited.

The Chun Ha Jang Ahn will see that coming.

If they see gun powder, they will cut you down immediately!

Right.

Man-Seok brought this saltpeter from the military camp.

This, is South American saltpeter from a French priest.

I will mix these two and hide it in the instrument.

You're going to hide this?

- If water touches it... - Then what?

Then it will ignite and explode.

What? A bomb that ignites, using fire?

Ah!

The water will slowly soak in the instrument's strings...

Goodness! Is this a bomb, or magic!

How is it? Isn't it beautiful?

This street where people live.

Aren't you glad we came out to investigate?

Investigate?

Aren't you just having fun?

Try to smile.

Enjoy the outdoors and fresh air.

Stop frowning your handsome face and smile.

Should I ask for Master Choi?

No.

We no longer have anything to talk about.

I must walk a different path from him.

Why are you doing this?

Do not resist, Princess.

Take your hands off me!

Who are you?

In-Gyu Chae?

Bong-Ryun, we don't have time for this.

The others will be here soon.

If you stay here,

you, Chun-Jung, and your child will die.

Let's go.

What a peaceful sight to see.

Congratulations, Habha.

Doesn't this sight prove our new King and Lord Daewonwee,

have brought prosperity to our nation!

This is Habha's great achievement!

Congratulations, Habha.

Congratulations.

Great job putting this festival together.

Thank you, my Lord.

Listen up!

Everyone Listen!

All citizen's listen carefully.

Today's festival,

is not about the King's love for his people.

The people must never forget,

their gratitude towards the great King!

You grace us, my King!

You grace us, my King!

Habha, the night air is cold.

Let us go inside to the ball, my Lord.

Alright.

The lights are beautiful!

Thank you, my Lord.

Let us go.

No!

No... No.. No..

Congratulations, Habha.

What an eventful day, let us all drink!

Why is everyone so surprised?

I am also the King's loyal servant,

I will celebrate this eventful day with everyone as well.

Alright, as a man loyal to the King, you deserve to do so.

In the past Habha,

would always share delicious drinks with me.

This is Gamhongro.

I wanted to share this with Habha,

before anyone else.

Alright.

Pour me a drink.

Father.

Allow me to taste it first.

There's no need for that.

I will drink it first.

What are you doing right now!

I pray that your reign of peace lasts for eternity, Habha.

Thank you.

This is a fine drink.

When it touches water the fire will ignite and explode.

Hang in there.

You must stay strong.

When the sun rises, we can leave here together.

You've come! My nieces!

Habha, to congratulate you on such a day,

our Kim-Moon children,

have come here to present you with a gift.

Congratulations, Habha.

Daewongun Habha, we congratulate your victory in war!

What's going on?

Habha!

Stop! Don't move!

Are you alright?

Habha!

Habha!

Are you alright?

Habha!

Habha!

Habha!

Habha!

Habha!

You little...!

How dare you...

Big brother... Did we fail?

- Hurry up. - Alright.

- There... - Goodness!

What about our Master Choi... What do we do!

Goodness...

We must consider that our tiger hunting plan may fail.

Master, if this fails then we're all dead anyways.

What's there to consider? If we die it's all over.

We have dozens of Sam Jun Do Jang followers.

Even if I die,

we must protect them no matter what.

By chance, if our tiger hunting plan fails,

Gu-Chul will shoot a flare.

Then you must not hesitate.

You must not wait for me.

No, where do you expect us to go without you, Master Choi?

This country is ruled by Daewongun.

Without you, Master Choi, where could we possibly live?

When the flare goes off, gather all the Sam Jun Do Jang people.

Take the Changuimun Gate, and leave Hanyang.

You must climb Geumgang Mountain and leave the boarders.

Across Geumgang Mountain?

To where?

As my Lord requested, I have bought a piece of land there.

You've already prepared a place for us to live?

We'll be heading to Yeonchu.

Yeonchu?

The Great merchant Deok-Yoon Lee will help us escape.

I will meet you at Geumgang Mountain, on Birobong Peak.

You must, no matter what, guide our people,

and bring them to the land I've prepared.

Do we really have to proceed with his second plan?

Just wait, wait. Let's think about this.

We don't have time to think!

Everyone!

Listen carefully!

Bong-Ryun.

During my life if there's anyone I'm sorry to...

It is you...

Thank you...

For everything.

Goodbye.

Chun-Jung Choi's execution site has been prepared outside the sewer gate.

Everyone leave us.

Yes, sir.

I heard you called the plan to kill me,

the Horyeop mission.

Horyeop.

To hunt a tiger.

Aren't you aware that most tiger hunters,

are eventually ripped into pieces by tigers?

But a wise tiger hunter, waits patiently with a crossbow,

and strikes the tiger's vital point.

Taking him out instantly.

What do you gain from my death?

Do you wish to be King, Chun-Jung Choi?

Do we have different objectives?

I will empower the King,

protect our traditions and the Noron doctrine.

I will protect our people from foreign invaders,

and correct our Joseon's palace.

I wish to protect our dignity and show all others.

Speak.

Is the country you dream of, and I'm trying to create, different?

You and I...

Initially had the same dream.

Right, exactly!

We are the same!

If you kill me and take my place, do you think you'd be any different?

Recently, when the French invaded,

and Western soldiers tried to step all over us.

If it were up to you, would you have accepted them?

The Catholic foreign priests, gathered information on our country,

and attempted to pass it to their army.

Would you have stood by and allowed it!

Accidents happen when making initial contact with foreign countries.

If your young child got bullied outside and came home,

would you keep him inside for the rest of his life?

A child must fight and confront others,

in the end he will learn how to coexist.

That is how he becomes a strong adult.

You are merely using foreign oppression as an excuse,

to strengthen your power.

You have become an evil tyrant.

So what!

You must kill the evil tyrant to protect this country?

Is this what you're saying?

You will never prioritize saving our country from crisis.

You will choose

to take advantage of situations for your personal gains.

In the end...

You will... destroy our country.

Sure.

We cannot coexist then...

Am I right?

Yes, I believe so.

What we want is the same but...

The path we choose is different.

What a...

What a tragedy.

Anyone outside!

Do as I command!

This man, Chun-Jung Choi...

Take him to the beheading site!

Cut his arms and legs off,

but keep him alive, and hang him on the gate.

We shall show everyone what happens,

to anyone who disobeys me!

Yes, sir.

The Tiger hunt...

is not over yet, my Lord!

Take him away.

Do you speak of Chun-Jung Choi's beheading?

Although I could not make him my loyal person,

it is a waste to let him die like this.

Don't you agree, my Queen?

Do you speak of?

I just met with the King.

The King does not want Chun-Jung Choi to die.

Also, Chun-Jung Choi always repays his debts.

Having a man like him in your debt is always good.

Yes, my Queen Mother.

[iQIYI Ver] CSTV E21 'Wind and Cloud and Rain' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

What do we do...

Master Choi!

Master Choi! He is innocent!

Master Choi!

Master Choi...

He is innocent!

Cut the criminal's arms off!

You bastards!

Our Master Choi has done nothing wrong!

He's right! He's right!

We agree! We agree!

Yes! Master Choi is innocent!

Correct! Correct!

Save Master Choi's life!

Let's save him!

Master Choi!

This way, come.

How did you get here?

Why are you here, why didn't you leave?

Why? You are the reason why we've gathered!

Of course!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Where is the miss?

She was followed and attacked.

I believe she is...

In the hands o Daewongun...

What?

My son.

Just wait for me.

As a father, I will find your mother.

You must stay strong and wait.

Go ahead without me.

Pardon me?

I think our tiger hunt must come to an end.

Master!

- What do you mean? - Master!

Go to the Goseong port and aboard the boat.

I will inform the Lady Gaekju.

We shall meet again, across the sea...

We will all meet and be safe!

What? Chun-Jung Choi escaped?

You stupid and ignorant fools!

My apologies, Habha.

We've sent soldiers to the trading hall.

But there is not sign of the Sam Jun Do Jang followers.

Really? I guess that cunning Chun-Jung made other arrangements.

Where's Deok-Yoon Lee?

She has left to the port to meet with foreign traders.

Do you think Chun-Jung would try to escape on one of her trade ships?

Get them.

If we let them live, they will return as stronger traitors!

Kill everyone, and bring me Chun-Jung Choi!

Yes, sir!

You, close all four of our major gates!

Yes, father.

Where's Bong-Ryun?

No matter how close we are, you must mind your manners, my friend.

This is a fight between you and me.

Let Bong-Ryun go.

I've been waiting just for you.

Sit.

Let's play Chinese chess.

Where is Bong-Ryun!

Checkmate!

My Lord!

Bong-Ryun!

If I put this down,

the Princess will die immediately.

Do not fall for his threats against me!

Do not mind me please!

Sure, take that gun and shoot me to death.

But I want you to know one thing before you do.

If you dare kill me, you will...

Be remembered as a man willing to sacrifice,

his own woman in order to become King.

Put down your gun.

You, the Princess, and your baby,

I will promise all of you safe living in my Joseon for the rest of your lives.

I give you my word.

This is not your Joseon.

This is...

A country of the people.

Also, I've discovered the true King

of this country.

Really?

Who would that be?

Is it your son?

The true King is...

The people.

Our citizens!

What?

As your fortune teller,

I will give you one last prophecy.

All King's rule will end,

and the dragon will become a legend.

Now, our people...

The people will become the owners of their own world!

Stop with your nonsense!

That day will never come.

Stay behind here, my Lord.

I will be leaving.

To the new generation.

Then leave, Chun-Jung Choi.

You, knowing me too well, was always a problem for me.

Go and prove what your saying.

Show me that the new world you speak of is really possible...

If you cannot,

I won't kill you, the people will.

Let the Princess go.

No...

No!

My Lord...

My Lord!

Bong-Ryun!

You must leave.

Go!

No! I won't!

I will not leave you here!

I promised our child.

Our child...

must not loose...

his parents like us.

No, come with me. We must leave.

You must leave.

Let go.

My Lord!

No...

My Lord!

Bong-Ryun.

You were the love and light of my life.

My Bong-Ryun.

Always shine,

Always shine brightly and survive.

My Love.

Leave!

My Lord, my Lord...

My Lord!

My Lord...

My Lord! My Lord!

No!

My Lord! My Lord!

No!

What's going on?

Arrest all traitors that aided Chun-Jung Choi!

Lord Daewonwee has commanded!

- Search! - Yes, sir!

What's going on?

We've come to arrest Chun-Jung Choi's followers.

Do they look like Chun-Jung Choi's people?

How dare you treat Chinese Nobles like this!

If your rude actions cause a deal worth more than 1,000 coins go wrong,

do you believe you will leave with your life?

I will say it one last time.

Chun-Jung's people are no longer here.

Go ahead and search.

Everyone search thoroughly!

Search!

You fools.

I slip one word,

and you all flock like hens.

Is everyone on their way?

I pray for everyone's safe passage.

Everyone!

If we just pass this point, it is Goseong port.

Master Choi, and the Princess will be there waiting for us.

Let's stay strong!

Stay strong! Stay strong!

Everyone boarded the ship and headed to Yeonhaeju.

Is that so?

Everyone really left.

What was that called agin? Bullet...

- Bullet proof vest! - Right, Bullet proof vest.

It was my idea.

No! It was originally Master Choi's idea.

Anyways, I was the one who constructed it.

Alright.

Thanks.

Now...

This is really goodbye.

But...

We do not know if...

Master Choi is alive...

What?

Are you saying he is dead?

We cannot confirm that either.

Master Choi...

It's alright, my Queen.

Please cry...

For the both of us.

As it is the year of the red tiger, and we were victorious twice,

Daecheong emperor of the Qing is curious how we will deal with the Westerners.

What should we do?

They were not supportive at all and yet,

they wish to interfere with our politics?

Tell them!

Our Joseon has already kicked out the Westerners

And in the future, any Westerner

will not be able to associate with our country!

I promise you this.

The future of Joseon...

will instate the closed-door policy!

Do you understand!

Yes! Daewongun Habha!

Are you infatuated with my face?

Yes, sir, you have a wonderful face.

As I have said previously, you have the face of a tiger.

for the future king, and lay down

a path for Jae-Hwang and Lord Heungseon-gun!

Chun-Jung!

Chun-Jung!

Chun-Jung!

Chun-Jung?

Chun-Jung!

Chun-Jung!

Chun-Jung!

Chun-Jung!

Chun-Jung...

Sorry...

I'm sorry...

I'm... Sorry..

Sorry...

- Go, bring it here, - You have to nail it in depoer!

Miss!

What? What? What? What?

What's going on?

Miss, where are you? Miss?

Here, escort her over here.

Now, come here please.

Miss, the Russians have promised,

to make this place a Joseon people's town.

Great!

Good work everyone.

Big brother, what happen?

The letter we sent out with the Russian traders.

Oh! The French nun!

She's agreed to send it here as well!

My father lived and died in Joseon as a foreigner.

If he could see his son right now, living in Russia

and meeting a French nun... He wouldn't believe it.

Don't you think, at this rate,

all of our people will begin to spread throughout the entire world?

Of course.

All of the children we have raised here, must see the vast world.

Our development here is almost over as well.

Everyone did a great job.

Now, we will build a school here.

A school?

I wonder if the Joseon skies are as gloomy as ours here.

How's it going?

Almost done.

Put your foot down, your foot!

You two, can you separate yourselves!

What's your problem!

Sister! I've heard some good news.

Hey!

Goodness, can't you wait! You already told them?

You little...!

It's getting late, let's get ready for bed.

Miss...

Are you looking at that again?

Our Master Choi is one of the greatest men to live.

Even when his plan failed,

he planned for his own death,

and wrote everything down in that notebook.

He was always great at predicting the future.

I wish to accomplish everything he has written here.

You're even greater than him.

Fireflies...

My Lord?

I've returned.

I defied destiny,

and have returned to you...

Thank you... Goodbye.

How's business?

Welcome!

Master Choi request that I give you this shop.

You must work hard.

Yes, my Lady.

Chun-Jung Choi saved my life,

I will never forget and work hard.

Alright.

But... What was your name again?

Nak-Won. Nak-Won Kwak, my Lady.

Nak-Won (Paradise).

What a beautiful name.

Thank you, goodbye.

Goodness! Isn't that!

Isn't that Joseon over there!

Joseon! How have you been!

Hey!

Hooray!

Hey! Hooray!

How's my brother?

- We're doing great! Don't worry! - My friends! Are you well!

Father! You're lonely, aren't you?

The?people...

The?citizens...

The people ruling their own world.

Climbing above destiny...

And truly achieving our dreams.

That is...

My destiny.

That is...

Our destiny.
