Let me go, you scoundrels!

You think you will be safe after treating me this way?

I am the real King.

[Episode 38] I am the real King!

Elder... Elder!

The Crown Prince revealed to everyone that the deadly flower fields are gone.

He even had the Pyeonsoo-hwe's death list.

He had our death list?

Yes.

So...

what happened to the Crown Prince?

Before I escaped the palace...

I heard them shout, "Long live the King, long live the King".

He is...

now the King.

The Crown Prince has now become the King.

He will soon come to arrest me.

Chief Jo.

Yes?

Mobilize the Pyeonsoo-hwe's assassins.

Protect this place so that the royal army does't dare attack.

Yes, Elder Dae Mok.

As the King of this nation, these are my first words to you.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I want all of you to gather your strength.

We must make an antidote for the deadly flower in five days.

We need the help of all the doctors in the palace.

All those in the palace who have any medical knowledge shall work together.

We accept your command, Your Majesty.

People will receive job posts according to the work they have done.

Reward and punishment must be fair and severe.

Those who monopolized the government as subjects of the Pyeonsoo-hwe must pay.

Prime Minister, Joo Jin Myung.

Minister of the Left, Heo Yoo Geon.

Minister of the Right, Choi Sung Ki.

You are all dismissed.

Minister of Government Administration, Woo Bo, will now be Prime Minister.

Recommend suitable replacements for Minister of the Left and Right.

You may submit them to me.

Your subject, Woo Bo, accepts your command, Your Majesty.

Former Head Prosecutor Kim, Kwang Yeol, will now be Minister of Euigeumbu.

Park Moo Ha will be promoted to Inspector of Euigeumbu.

Minister of Justice, work on finding out the crime of others involved.

Continue to expose them all.

- I accept your command, Your Majesty. - I accept your command, Your Majesty.

Son of the late Royal General.

Lee Chung Woon, you are appointed to be my personal guard.

Just as you always have been, stay close to me.

Please protect me.

Your subject, Lee Chung Woon, accepts your command, Your Majesty.

Guards, take away the three ministers who are members of the Pyeonsoo-hwe.

Arrest them all, at once!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Let me go. Do you know who I am?

- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!

Please, Your Majesty.

Please spare me.

Please call the Dowager Queen for me.

Just let me live, please.

Listen up, Euigeumbu Inspector.

Go and arrest Dae Mok, the leader of Pyeonsoo-hwe.

Elder.

The royal army is here to arrest you.

Our assassins are guarding your home.

However, there are many men here for you. What should we do?

Do not cause a fuss.

Go and threaten to burn the antidote.

Excuse me?

Tell the royal army that if they take one step into my home...

I will burn all the antidote that I have.

But, it is the Pyeonsoo-hwe members who need the antidote.

Will the King hold his men back to save the Pyeonsoo-hwe members?

He is someone who would.

Then I will prepare a way out for you while the assassins create a diversion.

There is no need for that.

He is only strong right now.

The King will self-destruct in a few days.

Only I know how to make the antidote.

He became King to make the antidote.

What do you think will happen if he cannot make it?

His subjects will come running to me, begging for their lives.

I can turn this entire game around all at once when that happens.

The Euigeumbu Inspector went to arrest Dae Mok.

We should have good news soon.

Your Majesty, the Euigeumbu Inspector is here to see you.

Tell him to enter.

What happened?

Did you arrest Dae Mok?

Well...

Your Majesty.

Dae Mok threatened to burn all the antidote he has.

We are standing by, unable to arrest him.

Your Majesty, if we cannot arrest him, it will become a problem in the future.

Dae Mok could counterattack if we are not careful.

We must arrest him right away.

However, if we lose the antidote that Dae Mok has...

even more people will lose their lives.

I cannot put their lives in danger just to arrest Dae Mok.

How many soldiers do the Pyeonsoo-hwe have?

It looked like 1,000.

We have 3,000.

We outnumber them.

However, Dae Mok's men are all the cream of the crop.

What should we do, Your Majesty?

Inspector, mobilize your men and surround Dae Mok's home.

Before we can make the antidote

Dae Mok cannot escape your men and leave his home.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Why are you here?

"You dared to want my throne."

"Now, look at the sight of you."

Are you here to laugh at me?

Are you... hurt?

Do not be a hypocrite!

Whose fault is all of this?

It is all your fault! It's because of you...

I turned out this way.

You are right.

It is all my fault.

Everything is my fault.

I made you this way.

I am very sorry.

You are trying to deceive me again.

Once the antidote is complete, I will let you go after you take it.

So, wait a little longer.

subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Why?

Are you going to send a fake one again?

And try to kill me again?

This must have been your plan from the very beginning.

You wanted to be King.

You planned on throwing me aside after using me as a shield.

No!

I always... thought of you as my friend.

No matter what you think of me, you are still...

my friend.

So, I will save you.

I will bring you the antidote, so wait just a little bit.

Liar! Hypocrite!

Your Majesty!

Please spare my son's life.

I am fine with you punishing him or beating him.

Please just have pity on him.

Just allow him to live, Your Majesty.

I have already spoken to Lee Seon.

I have promised to get him the antidote.

Your Majesty.

From the very beginning, Lee Seon was my friend.

How could I harm my friend?

How could I make my friend's mother sad?

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty!

You are very benevolent, Your Majesty.

I knew you would be doing this.

You never take care of your own injuries.

I will do it.

I want to do it myself.

At this rate, how could I ever leave you alone?

Thank you... for saving Lee Seon.

Did you think I would kill Lee Seon?

Were you worried?

I am always sorry...

and thankful.

From now on...

you will never cry again because of me.

Oh, Lee Seon! Lee Seon!

Why are you here? Please leave.

Lee Seon, the King has promised to save you.

I told you to leave!

I do not want to see you. Leave! Leave!

You rascal. What did your mother say?

I told you we should leave.

Please!

Over here, over here!

Take her away now!

Lee Seon!

Lee Seon.

Our house is easy to find.

If you enter the market, you will see a linen store.

If you go straight from there, you'll find our herbal medicine store.

You came once before so you can find it, can't you?

You have to come to see Mom and Wiggly.

All right?

I will be waiting, Brother.

I have classified all the antidotes that work for deadly poisons.

I made as many as I could.

Now, all we need to do is see if any of them work for the deadly flower.

These are testing solutions we can use to see if the antidotes work.

What should happen if we put the deadly flower pill into an antidote that works?

The testing solution should turn clear again.

These must not be right.

His Majesty, the King, is entering.

Is there any progress on the antidote?

I apologize, Your Majesty.

Making this antidote will not be so easy.

We tried to make various antidotes.

All of them failed.

Continue to make more antidotes.

I know it is not easy.

We must... succeed.

I accept your command, Your Majesty.

Look here! What is going on with the antidote?

What use is it if it gets made after I die?

Hey! You scoundrels!

Hey, you people.

We are all about to die.

You never took deadly flower pills.

You have nothing to fear.

What is going on with the antidote?

They have failed again.

And they are running out of deadly flower pills to test.

We only have three days left.

What should we do?

There is no other way.

I must meet with Dae Mok.

- Your Majesty. - In order to make the antidote...

I have no other no choice.

Before more time passes...

I need to find out how to make the antidote.

The King requested a meeting with you, Elder.

He let me go so I could give you this message.

Elder.

Will you meet the King?

You want to know how to make the antidote?

Why?

Why are you trying to save them?

They either tried to kill you or they betrayed you.

Some knew you were real, but ignored and avoided you.

They are my people and my citizens.

Look at you.

You are not headed toward a new era.

If you wish to change the world...

Once you enter the system, you merely become a part of it.

You cannot change anything at all.

If you want a new era, you should throw everything out.

Or change the cup altogether.

This is the chance for you to do that, Your Majesty.

Why would you try to save them?

The value of a ruler is...

love of the people.

I cannot divide them into those who will live and those who will die.

Give me the antidote.

I will save all those who were poisoned.

Get rid of the Yangsucheong, which exploits the people.

Then I will, at least, spare your life.

Exploit?

Exploit, you say?

When the poor people were working hard just to make a living...

what did you do for them?

Confucius says that is not the path, so do not travel it.

Buddha says it is retribution from a former life, so give up.

What were you doing then?

When the people were starving and dying...

When the government was doing nothing, I was...

feeding them and keeping them alive.

Yet, you call it exploitation?

You fed them and kept them alive?

You made them work and took unfair amounts from them.

You put countless young lives in danger to control the government.

Yet, you dare to talk of the people?

You can try to justify it however you want.

You cannot make what you have done right!

I dare to talk of the people?

Do you feel like you have everything now that you are on the throne?

Does it feel like your Joseon and your people?

No.

They are not.

If you cannot make the antidote right away...

your subjects will turn on you.

If you arrest me...

that is when the people will turn on you.

Dae Mok!

You want to know how to make the antidote?

Only if you leave the throne.

Then I will tell you how.

We have tried every method.

We have failed in making the antidote, Your Majesty.

On top of that, we do not have more deadly flowers.

There are not many left.

Chief Jo.

Yes, Elder Dae Mok.

I will need you to mobilize all the Yangsucheong water carriers.

I will move Joseon, starting with them.

The King is planning on getting rid of the Yangsucheong.

Start the rumors.

You want to instigate the water carriers.

Are you planning to start a riot?

Radical citizens can destroy the palace.

It would not be too bad if they kill the King.

Yes, Elder Dae Mok.

Love of the people...

Love of the people, you say?

Let's see if you can say that after the people stab you in the back with a knife.

I wonder if it is time for me to follow in Hwa Goon's footsteps.

Even though you snuck up on me, I am not scared at all.

Would you like a drink?

You are no fun.

That is why you could never say a word.

You fool.

The person you loved...

was so in love with another man.

On his behalf...

For his sake, she ended up dying.

Does that not make you angry?

She looked happy.

The last time I saw her...

she looked satisfied to be able to help the Crown Prince.

Her face looked happy.

Your Highness...

"Protect the Crown Prince."

That was the last order she left for me.

Elder, His Majesty needs to know how to make the antidote.

Please help.

We only have two days.

Without the antidote

75 people or maybe even all the members who took the deadly flower pill...

could all end up dead.

Think of Young Miss Hwa Goon and please help.

Think of her last smile.

Please protect that, Elder.

I know how to make the antidote.

I heard that only Dae Mok knew how to make it.

My father does not know that I know how to make the antidote.

I will tell you how to make the antidote.

However, I have a condition.

What is it that you want?

[Ruler: Master of the Mask]

The water carriers of Yangsucheong are charging the Gwanghwamun gate.

I have delivered your message, Elder Dae Mok.

If the people kill the King during the riot

we will find a suitable King.

Then we will make it the Pyeonsoo-hwe's world again.

Please send us to Dae Mok.

You are the only one left to get revenge.

Should I assassinate the King?
