How am I supposed to live on if he dies?

Episode 6 Couldn't you allowthe Crown Prince to go?

Please...

He's been going on like that without even a sip of water!

At this rate, he may pass out!

No... I don't know if the Prince will be able to go on if Lord Han dies!

Your Majesty.

I beg of you, please allow the Crown Prince to--

Allow the Crown Prince to do as he wishes.

Lord Han!

How did you get here?

The Crown Prince sent me.

The Prince sent you?

Please come out.

What are you doing? You must hurry and escape!

You say that the Crown Prince sent you?

Can you tell him that he must not give up on this, despite what happens?

No! You can tell him that yourself after you've survived this ordeal.

Please, come out of there immediately.

Can you give this to Ga Eun?

Is Ga Eun the reason why you are not running away?

Because you are worried that she might be hurt?

Please take good care of Ga Eun.

I understand.

I will get Ga Eun to a safe place first and then return here.

Please wait just a moment.

That's not what I mean. I already--

Chung Woon! Chung Woon!

Chung... Woon?

So you were the Crown Prince, Your Highness?

Ga Eun! Ga Eun!

Ga Eun!

Young Master Chun Soo!

Ga Eun.

Um... are you all right? You're not hurt, are you?

My father was taken away!

He was taken away unjustly, but the soldiers are standing guard

so I couldn't even visit him!

Let's go!

- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!

I must go see him now.

I... went to go see him.

Is Father okay? When is he being freed?

Look there.

You see the men that the Crown Prince sent over, right?

He said that your father will escape after he gets you to a safe place.

But, Father didn't do anything wrong!

So why should I have to run?

Um, well...

we don't have a way to prove his innocence right now.

He said that you and your father have to escape to safety first

and he'll work on proving his innocence... after... that...

Oh, yeah.

He wanted me to give you this letter.

[Ga Eun]

Father!

Ga Eun! You have to escape now if we're going to save your father.

All of this is to save your father.

Please.

Hyah!

Are you going to keep sitting there like that?

I could've become Queen if you hadn't interfered, Grandfather!

Father promised me that he'd make me the Queen!

And that's why I can't allow it.

If this was something you truly wanted, you should've tried to get it yourself.

Don't wait around hoping that someone else will hand things to you.

It's much easier to have things like that taken from you.

And you cannot truly call those sorts of things yours.

I must get what I truly want with my own power.

Grandfather.

You said not too long ago that you'd give me anything I wanted

for my birthday.

Are you planning to ask me to give you

the title of Crown Princess as your birthday present?

Give me Gon.

Gon?

All right. Gon belongs to you now.

Are you satisfied?

Yes, Grandfather!

Because the Crown Prince ordered me to...

I testified that you deceived me. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

I did that so that I could spare my own life!

What else could we have done? There was no other way.

If I hadn't started this investigation...

if only I hadn't given that investigation log to the Crown Prince...

No, no.

If you hadn't done anything, I would've been an ignorant fool.

I never would've found out that the citizens are dying of thirst

because of the Pyeonsoo-hwe, either.

Thank you.

Listen to me, Moo Ha.

I'm going to make this request of you

knowing that it will make things more difficult for you.

Please help the Crown Prince.

Stay by his side and be his strength so that he can fight on until the end.

I can't do that. I'm sorry!

I cannot do anything of the sort anymore!

Then... will you do me this favor, at least?

Can you prevent my daughter from seeing me be beheaded?

I sent Ga Eun away to a safe place.

Please rest assured now, and go meet her.

Crown Prince.

I may be but an insignificant person, but will you remember my death?

What... do you mean by that?

The reason I am dying is not just because I investigated Yangsucheong.

It is because of the Pyeonsoo-hwe, the powerful organization that controls it.

However, we do not have the power to win against the Pyeonsoo-hwe right now.

If I do not die and protect those who are left

you will not be able to find any kindred spirits to aid you.

You can live on and help me, too, Lord Han!

Are you going to say that this is all to spare my life, just as Father said?

I have a favor to ask of you.

I am worried that the weak-hearted Prince will crumble

if he is weighed down by guilt, thinking that he was responsible for your death

Become the Prince's guide, and his courage.

If you lose your life at the hands of the Pyeonsoo-hwe as well, Prince

who will be left to stand up against the Pyeonsoo-hwe?

Who'll dare to fight against

the Pyeonsoo-hwe and return the water to the people?

Why aren't you trying to live?

Don't you want to see Ga Eun? She desperately wants to see you.

Do I seem like a fool for choosing justice over my own life?

Does my courage to choose death over life seem foolhardy to you?

No... no. That's not it.

That's...

I have no confidence in being able to live on if you die

even if I do not die at the hands of the Pyeonsoo-hwe.

So please, live on.

You must bear it even if it may be painful for you.

You must grow stronger!

Do not feel guilty. Tell yourself that you shouldn't have done anything.

If you just sit still, they will slowly become weaker.

No, no, no. Please.

Please, live.

Don't die because of me.

The road that you will walk upon, Your Highness, will be long and harsh.

But do not give up.

I will forever consider it an honor...

that I was able to walk that path alongside you.

The Prince's friend helped Lord Han's daughter escape?

I think I've found a way to tame that tiger cub.

Hwa Goon said that she wants me to give you over to her.

I will not call upon you unless I truly need you

so follow Hwa Goon's orders from now on, and protect her.

And report back to me.

Understand?

Yes, Sir.

I, Lee Seon, ask this of you as your son

and as your loyal subject, Your Majesty.

Please rescind your order to have Lord Han beheaded.

You may be a King

but you cannot kill a loyal subject for a crime he did not commit.

I have an urgent message to deliver to you, Crown Prince.

Chun Soo?

Come in!

What is it?

The Pyeonsoo-hwe say that they'd like to add one more condition.

Now...

they want you to behead the criminal yourself, Your Highness!

And if you don't, they said they will kill everyone around you, one by one!

What did you say?

If... you do not... behead... the criminal yourself, Your Highness--

Chun Soo!

Chun Soo! Chun Soo!

Get... get the doctor!

Chun Soo!

Your... Highness.

Who was it?

Who poisoned you and told you to deliver that message?

If I'd known that I'd die like this...

I would have taken a peek at your face, just once.

Your Highness!

Your Highness.

You truly....

are handsome.

I... know, right?

I knew you'd say that.

Chun Soo.

Chun Soo!

Chun Soo!

Chun Soo!

Chun Soo!

Oh!

Oh!

Chun Soo!

Chun Soo!

Chun Soo! Chun Soo!

Chun Soo!

Oh, Chun Soo!

Gon, you belong to me now, right?

Yes, ma'am.

If you wish to protect me

keep everything about the Crown Prince a secret from now on.

If you tell Grandfather his secrets and the Crown Prince gets hurt

my heart will be torn to shreds.

And if your blade stabs the Crown Prince...

that will be the same as you stabbing my own heart.

If the Crown Prince dies...

I will die, too.

So...

protect the Crown Prince as you would protect me.

That is the only way I will survive.

Do you understand?

Yes, ma'am.

Prince.

F... Father.

Kill Lord Han with your own hands.

He was your servant.

He was a faithful and loyal servant who followed your commands.

Lord Han will be beheaded.

This will be the first of your subjects to be sacrificed for your mistakes.

Do you truly wish to put the blame on someone else

and say that you were ignorant of everything?

No. This is all your fault.

The reason why that child died instead of you

and the fact that Lord Han, who obeyed your will, is dying

is all your fault.

This is who you are.

The Crown Prince of Joseon.

The man who will one day become Joseon's King!

A single word you say can cost your subject his life.

Your mistake can save or kill your subject's life!

A single decision you make can affect all the citizens of Joseon!

That is...

It is who you are.

Ga Eun.

Do not resent the Crown Prince.

Your father's death isn't the Crown Prince's fault.

Father!

I hate to leave you behind and go

but there's something that I hate even more than death.

If my life and justice cannot coexist, I will choose not to live.

Please understand your father, who has chosen justice over his own life.

I am sorry.

And I love you.

You...

want me to lie and say that I never gave Lord Han such a command...

and then cut off his head?

If you don't, someone else will most certainly die.

I don't want to.

Tell... them to kill me instead.

Prince!

Yes. I will go to them myself.

I will go to the Pyeonsoo-hwe myself

and tell them to kill me, and also to stop--

Be strong.

Who will lead the people if the King dies?

Can you truly call yourself

Joseon's Crown Prince, while acting like this?

Did I ever say that I wanted to be the Crown Prince?

Did I ever say that I wanted to live my life behind a mask?

Why must I stay alive

if I have to kill Lord Han to do so?

Why did you do that, Father?

Why did you make a deal with the Pyeonsoo-hwe?

Why did you build Yangsucheong in order to save my life?

Why? Why?

Why did you do it?

Your Highness!

- Prince! - Your Highness!

Hurry and fetch a doctor!

What am I to do with the Prince?

The Crown Prince will definitely...

behead Lord Han with his own hands.

What are you doing? Hurry and take this.

Leave that one here. As for this one, take it and follow me.

Teacher.

You said that the world is an unjust place.

Then, what must one do to change the world

and rid the world of Yangsucheong?

Do you think that the world will change if you get rid of Yangsucheong?

Is it impossible, even for the King?

It will be more difficult for you to meet a King like that

than for you to change the world yourself.

No, I don't mean someone pitiful like me.

What would you say if the King asked you the same question?

I would tell him that he couldn't do it.

Not even the King can do it?

The King...

is not the master of Joseon.

Young Miss!

Elder!

Something terrible has happened, Elder!

What are you talking about?

Lord Han... is to be beheaded!

And the Crown Prince himself will be beheading Lord Han!

What do we do?

Beheaded? Who is going to be beheaded?

Who is going to be beheaded?

No way.

Is... is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

You are...

the woman I saw in the greenhouse that time...

You... remember me, Your Highness?

How did you get here?

I must hurry!

Shall I...

lend you a horse?

Hyah! Hyah!

No! Stop!

Stop! Stop the execution!

Hyah!

Stop!

Stop--

[Ruler: Master of the Mask]

Father.

My father is innocent! Please spare him!

You call yourself a human being after doing such a thing?

You irredeemable vermin!

How can I eradicate the Pyeonsoo-hwe?

I will do it, even if it entails pain and sacrifice.

If you wish to save the Prince, you must make him join us, or he will die.

He has no other options.

I will find a way to return the water to the citizens.

So you are Dae Mok, the leader of the Pyeonsoo-hwe?
