[Episode 39] I believe we must use

the deadly flowers for the antidote.

However, I cannot figure out how we are supposed to use them.

You must use the root.

You are Dae Mok's son.

This is the flower that killed my daughter.

He will help you make the antidote.

This really is the antidote for the deadly flower.

Now, I understand how the antidote works.

Just keep in mind

the antidote is poison to those who are not taking the deadly flower drug.

Yes, I understand.

But, why are you giving us the antidote?

That is not for you to know.

I have made a deal with the King.

A deal?

The King is out to arrest Elder Dae Mok.

Who makes it possible for us to live and eat well?

It is all thanks to Elder Dae Mok.

Yes, it is all thanks to Dae Mok.

What has the King ever done for us?

- Yes, yes. - That is right!

Do you think that is all?

The King is closing down the Yangsucheong and cutting off our lifeline.

How can he do that?

How are we supposed to live?

How can we repay Elder Dae Mok?

What can we do to keep our jobs?

Tonight, at the eighth hour, we must gather at Gwanghwamun.

We must tell that tyrant who is starving us, that he cannot arrest Dae Mok!

Let us raise our voices!

Let's head for Gwanghwamun!

Let's go!

We have a problem, Your Majesty.

Yangsucheong's water carriers are gathering at Gwanghwamun.

For what reason?

I am sorry to tell you this.

They say it us unfair to arrest Dae Mok.

They say the King is harming them.

The water carriers are regular people.

Why would they be taking Dae Mok's side?

Dae Mok informed them that you would be shutting down Yangsucheong.

He started a rumor that they would all starve to death.

If you arrest me, then your people will turn on you.

Your Majesty, you must suppress them at once.

We cannot use force on them.

They are innocent people caught up in Dae Mok's plans.

But, Your Majesty.

You cannot just leave them be.

If more people join them and the size of the crowd grows

it will become a riot.

Once Yangsucheong is gone

it is obvious that the water carrier's livelihood will be in danger.

Even if Dae Mok instigated them

I cannot say I do not understand them.

Your Majesty.

They say the Yangsucheong water carriers are at Gwanghwamun.

I have spots all over my body.

What will we do if the King cannot make the antidote?

We will all die.

Just as you ordered, Elder...

I delivered your message to all the Pyeonsoo-hwe members with the King.

If he cannot make the antidote

they will come running to me and beg for their lives.

Then the rioting people will turn the palace into ashes.

If they kill the King...

we will seat a new and suitable King.

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

This is it.

This is the antidote.

We have done it. We did it!

We have finally made the antidote.

We must tell the King right away.

Tell the people the truth.

Mobilize the pack carriers.

Tell the people about the Pyeonsoo-hwe's oppression and tyranny.

Hire the water carriers for the task of building castle walls across the nation.

Convince them by promising them a livelihood.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I will do my very best.

Your Majesty, it is the Prime Minister.

Let him enter.

Your Majesty!

We finally have the antidote.

Is... is that true?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Hurry and gather all those who have been drugged by the deadly flower.

Give them the antidote.

I will do as you command.

We will not take it.

You say Dae Mok's son taught you how to make it?

Dae Mok is using this as a weapon to kill all of us.

I will not take it.

I studied the formula to understand it. I made it myself.

You can trust me.

I cannot trust you.

I will not take it.

Neither will I!

Nor will I!

- We will not either. - Nor will I!

They will not take the antidote?

Half of their bodies are already covered in spots.

They will not take the antidote.

Instead, they are demanding to be sent to Dae Mok.

If one person would step forward, they could prove that the antidote works.

No one will step forward. They are all too afraid.

No matter what we do, we need to show them it is safe.

Your Majesty, it is your eunuch.

I have something urgent to tell you.

What is it?

All the ministers have come and they are causing a scene.

That is enough.

You cannot behave this way!

Move now!

I must see the King.

I need to see him now.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

What is going on here?

Forgive us, Your Majesty.

We just cannot trust the antidote.

To think that it was Dae Mok's son who taught you how to make it...

Dae Mok must be planning to kill us all at once.

It is a weapon.

Your Majesty.

We cannot sit and wait to die.

Please let us go to Dae Mok.

Even if we must bow down at Dae Mok's feet...

we must save our lives first.

I'm begging you, Your Majesty.

We're begging you, Your Majesty.

Listen up, all of you!

His Majesty has been trying to save all of you...

That is enough.

All right.

You may all go to Dae Mok.

Are you really allowing us to go?

I became King in order to save all of you.

However...

you do not trust me and want to find another way to live.

I will not stand in the way of that.

You useless, ignorant fools!

You do not trust an antidote that was already made for you.

You want to go to Dae Mok instead?

Even if you go to him and beg

do you think Dae Mok will save you?

You need to trust the King! subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Please stop!

You said you do not trust this antidote?

I will make you trust it.

As you all know, this is a deadly flower pill.

Ga... Ga Eun.

Ga Eun!

Move, move!

Ga Eun, Ga Eun.

I took two deadly flower pills in order for it to take effect quickly.

Now, if I take this antidote and live...

it is a true antidote.

You can all trust it and take it.

Please wake up.

Ga Eun!

You see? Dae Mok's son would not give us the real antidote.

This will not do.

Everyone, let us go to Dae Mok!

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Let's go to Elder Dae Mok.

Your Majesty.

Thankfully, she still has a pulse.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

The Minister of Defense took everyone who was locked in the Euigeumbu prison.

They are leaving the palace.

Your Majesty.

If they all end up with Dae Mok, you will have a large rebellion.

You need to stop them now.

Your Majesty.

Are you going to let them become traitors?

If Dae Mok saves their lives...

that is good enough for me.

Your Majesty.

Elder, they are here.

Mister Jang.

Get ready to receive guests.

Yes, Elder.

Was the King unable to save you all?

But, what am I to do?

I cannot save you all either.

Why don't we do this?

The very first person to bow down and beg me...

I will give you the antidote.

Elder, they ought to have spots all over their bodies.

I do not see any signs of them.

- Elder! - His Majesty, the King, is entering!

Everyone, stop!

Look.

Look at that.

Dae Mok!

We have made the antidote to the deadly flower pill.

You will never again...

use the deadly flower to threaten the world.

Then I will find another way.

The Pyeonsoo-hwe have existed for 1,000 years.

A tree with deep roots does not sway when the wind blows.

The Pyeonsoo-hwe will not be destroyed by these gentle winds.

Gentle winds can become a typhoon.

The Pyeonsoo-hwe will be pulled out by the roots by that typhoon.

You will see that happen today.

Are you here to have a final battle with me today?

No, I will be granted a bloodless entry.

The Pyeonsoo-hwe have committed high treason.

They killed the King in the palace.

They took from the people who toiled in the streets.

They took innocent people...

and sentenced them to death.

Now we will punish the Pyeonsoo-hwe on behalf of the heavens and the people.

Everyone, put down your weapons and surrender.

Whoever acknowledges their crimes and surrenders will be given leniency.

Those who do not...

will get no mercy.

You will have one hour.

Those who surrender within that time will be spared their lives.

There is one hour left!

The King has mobilized the pack carriers to calm the citizens.

He promised the water carriers new jobs.

All the water carriers at Gwanghwamun have dispersed.

There are 45 minutes left!

Why, you little...

Let's go!

There are 30 minutes left!

Elder.

We have only our elite troop left.

They have all surrendered to the King.

You must escape.

The King will be here soon to arrest you.

Elder!

One hour is up!

We will arrest Dae Mok and the remaining Pyeonsoo-hwe members.

Follow me!

I should have killed you before.

I will regret it for 1,000 years.

This will be a meaningless death.

Put down your weapons.

Meaningless? I am Jo Tae Ho!

I lived like a human being all this time because of Elder Dae Mok.

So, I will die like a human being while protecting Elder Dae Mok.

Let's go!

Everyone, put away your swords!

Stop!

Elder Dae Mok is waiting for you.

Dae Mok.

Surrender now.

Then I will spare your life.

You... will spare my life?

It is not that I want to spare you.

I am trying to keep my word.

I will tell you how to make the antidote.

However, I have a condition.

What is it that you want?

My father...

Please allow Dae Mok to live.

Dae Mok, your son asked me to allow you to live.

You have put me through much hardship and pain.

I cannot forgive you.

But you...

made me who I am today.

You sent me to lowly place and I was able to understand the people.

I realized being Prince does not mean you will be King.

I became a King who is with the people.

Are you...

trying to thank me?

No.

I am trying to apologize.

This nation...

The ruler...

They pushed you into a desperate, bottomless pit.

In order to survive in that hellish world...

you said you had no choice, but to become a monster.

To you...

I apologize.

An apology? All right.

What will you do now?

When your people fall into a desperate, bottomless pit and are lost?

Are you going to talk about Confucius and Mencius?

Or will you tell them to give up?

I will jump into that bottomless pit and lend them my shoulders.

They can step on my shoulders and climb out.

I will never let my people...

live in a world where they need to become a monster like you.

If I had met a ruler like you...

a bit earlier in my life.

Water should flow from top to bottom in this world.

I tried to make it go up.

But, it came back down.

Trying to go upstream in the world...

I do not regret that.

Even from the afterlife...

I will be watching to see how you change Joseon.

I will be watching closely.

You do that.

Dae Mok.

His Majesty is taking longer than we thought.

Yes, he is.

You do not think he could not capture Dae Mok, do you?

His Majesty, the King, is entering!

Dae Mok and the chief of Yangsucheong are dead.

The rest have surrendered.

Your Majesty.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Congratulations, Your Majesty.

I think it is time for us to leave work.

What are you looking at?

Look away.

Your Majesty.

Do you know how worried I was?

I am all right.

I do not know what to do with you.

Should I be angry or say you did well?

You saved many lives today.

Now, we must save our friend's life.

Let us go to Lee Seon together.

Yes, I will get the antidote, Your Majesty.

The King is waiting, so follow me.

Lee Seon, take this.

It is the antidote.
