[ Gong Bin Kim ] Mother of Im Hae and Gwang Hae

Mother... I think that I have to kill Gwang Hae.

The sin for killing my blood.

I will accept full punishment.

Episode 11

Who are you guys?

Come out!

Hyungnim?

Hyungnim!

Follow him!

Find him!

Isn't that person Im Hae?

You two are brothers with a strong bond, aren't you?

Everything...

is because of me.

Prince Gwang Hae?

Leader,

did Ga Hee and Gwang Hae know each other?

Why are you asking me that?

It's suspicious.

I saw two people up there,

but they seemed to have a special relationship.

You saw Ga Hee?

It was definitely Ga Hee.

She was with Prince Gwang Hae.

Where did you see them?

This is a place that my colleague uses for storage.

They won't be able to find you here.

Thanks to you, I'm alive.

But how did you find me?

There are many ears listening at Jinjoogak.

This is terrible!

Prince Im Hae went out to kill Gwang Hae.

What?

To save me...

you were at Jinjoogak just in time.

Are you hurt?

I'm okay.

But for showing you such an ugly sight,

I'm very embarrassed.

For seeing you like this after a long time,

I'm embarrassed.

So,

were you well?

It's not the time to greet.

You managed to get away today,

but we don't know when Im Hae will try to kill you again.

Will you really

be okay like this?

Hyungnim

was a person like my mother who passed away.

To me...

he has a bigger existence than the mountain.

But even a brother who is bigger than the mountain,

in front of the position of Crown Prince, can kill his younger brother.

Even if he is your brother who shares your blood, you cannot become weak.

The role of a Crown Prince...

is a path I am taking after abandoning you.

Do you think that I can really collapse that easily? ♬ The closer I get ♬

I won't. ♬ the more the tears fall ♬

♬ Even if I extend my hand, I cannot reach you. ♬

♬ Even if I desire you ... it can't be fulfilled.. ♬

♬ Even if I want to abandon you, you can't be disposed of. ♬

But... ♬ Even if it seems like I can reach you, a person like you is far away. ♬

But Ga Hee... ♬ Even if it seems like I can reach you, a person like you is far away. ♬

I... ♬ You are my love, my everything, ♬

am totally alone now. ♬ You are my love, my everything, ♬

♬ Even if it pains me to death and my heart is bruised ♬

It's as if my body has been ripped into pieces.

♬ From a distance, I will always wait for you ♬

It hurts so much. ♬ From a distance, I will always wait for you ♬

♬ Because of that one word, I couldn't say to you ♬

♬ Because of that one step that I couldn't take to get closer to you ♬

♬ I can see you before my eyes... ♬

♬ As my tears flow down... ♬

♬ I realize that I miss you even more... My love... ♬

♬ Not even a for day, have I forgotten about you ♬

♬ Not even for a moment, I never sent you away ♬

♬ The name that I call out quietly ♬

♬ The yearning that I swallowed ♬

I'm sorry for not keeping our promise to meet you today.

On the way to the secret room, something happened.

Im Hae tried to kill Gwang Hae.

I had to help him.

Don't interfere with the fight of the princes to become the Crown Prince.

There is nothing bloodier than that.

Who do you think should become the Crown Prince?

What answer do you want to hear?

If Daedong Society holds hands with Prince Gwang Hae,

to your goal, my late father

my late father and Teacher Jung's dream.

You saw what kind of man Gwang Hae is.

You said that you would devote your life to that goal neither as a man or a woman.

In front of that goal...

were you loving a man?

Orabeoni...

You should go rest.

Aren't you going to tell me?

The reason why you wanted to meet me today.

Didn't you have something to say to me?

It's nothing.

Im Hae tried to kill Gwang Hae personally.

That's right.

I knew that he had a violent and arrogant character...

He tried to kill his own brother with his sword?

What a useless human!

Anyway, your plan was a success.

You split the two of them right away.

How did you know that things will happen this way?

I just read the people's minds.

Since I split apart the brothers, Im Hae, filled with vengeance,

will be a big obstacle for Gwang Hae from now on.

That's right.

But there is not much time before the appointment of the Crown Prince.

Make sure that the king hears what happened last night.

Don't worry about that.

Are you a hooligan with no roots?

Now in the middle of the town,

you swung your sword to kill your brother?

Even gangsters

don't do beastly things like you!

How can I tell the people to follow the Three Bonds and Five Relationships in Confucianism,

when my son swung his sword at his own brother?

Did you think of Gwang Hae that much?

Did Gwang Hae ask for me to be kicked out?

You rascal.

For someone with a vicious disposition and a petty mind,

how dare you wish to become the crown prince of this nation?

You don't have the right to become the Crown Prince.

Then what can I do?

What?

After my mother passed away, you have been so wrapped around Lady Kim Gwi In's skirt that

you never even glanced at me.

Not even for once, you never treated me as a first-born son.

From the beginning, if you would have appointed me as the Crown Prince,

Lady Kim Gwi In and her son wouldn't have looked down upon me.

And we brothers wouldn't have pointed our swords against each other!

What?

You stole an official's mistress

and killed a man because you couldn't handle your temper.

Because you are the first-son, do you know how many sins I have covered up for you?

But now you blame me?

If this happens again, you have to not only give up

your position as a Prince, but also everything you have.

Just what did I do wrong?

Prince Im Hae. Are you on the way from asking the king something?

Move out of the way.

If you get on my bad side, I don't know what I will do to you.

Hyungnim, don't just try to teach me manners.

Show some manners to my mother.

I told you not to bother me!

Prince Im Hae!

I'm okay, Mother.

Go ahead and hit me.

father just scolded you for attempting to murder Gwang Hae...

but it won't be over that easily with me.

You've already finished reading The Great Learning? (One of the Four Books in Confucianism)

Your teachers' compliments were not lies.

You always told me to read the Confucian classics and I listened.

Because your brother is near you, you must have learned many things.

Yes, Father.

Jeong Won only reads day and night.

I'm worried that he will become ill at such a young age, Your Majesty.

What has brought the Lady Kim Gwi In here

when the princes are making a visit?

I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

I wanted to visit you.

Mother missed you dearly,

so I asked her to come with us.

Is that so?

Prince Im Hae, you came?

Where is your master?

He is not here right now.

Move out of the way. I will find him by myself.

This rascal!

I'm not lying. He's really not here.

Do you want to die?

How dare you!

How dare you!

There will be a great catastrophe occurring in Joseon.

What is the great catastrophe

that he was speaking of?

Move out of the way.

I will slice this rascal's neck

to make him pay for lying to his master.

What exactly did he do for you to be like this?

He dared to

obstruct my way.

If it's because of that reason, I will reward this person.

To protect his master, he didn't even flinch away from the sword.

Shouldn't he be praised?

What did you say?

Hyungnim!

Gwang Hae, see me for a little bit.

I need to kill him, who dared to lie to me, first.

Before you kill this person,

you will need to kill me first.

I already held this sword before.

Do you think that I can't?

This time...

it won't be easy to kill me.

Wife, since Yeong Sin is in this condition,

can you bring...

my sword for me?

Yes. I will bring it for you right away.

What did you say?

Did you just say that you will swing your sword at me?

I get to face your sword for the second time.

I finally have the courage to stand against you.

And... if anyone tries to harm my people, no matter who it is...

I cannot forgive them.

You are really no longer my brother.

One of us has to die

in order for the other one to be complete.

I didn't know that it would turn out this way either.

It is entirely your fault that we became this way.

It is because you desired to become the Crown Prince.

One day, you will definitely

pay for your sins.

Eunuch Im, Eunuch Im.

- Your Highness. - Are you awake?

Can you recognize me?

Of course. I have served you for all of my life.

What would you do if I didn't recognize you?

Such a foolish person. If you act like this again, I will kick you out.

I am going to protect you, Your Highness.

Stop saying nonsense and lose some weight. I had to carry you from the yard,

and my back almost snapped.

Forgive me.

Drink this first. It will ease your pain.

Forgive me.

I am sorry for shocking you.

It's disappointing that I couldn't get any herbal pills.

It is hard to find musk these days, so they can't make the pills.

If it is musk, doesn't a lot come from Japan?

Yes, it was originally like that. But recently,

I heard that nothing is coming from Japan.

There are great concerns on whether war will break out

so I do get worried.

Is there anything special happening in the city?

I heard that all of the Japanese envoys staying at

Dongpyunggwan (Japanese envoys' loging) left the city.

Nowadays, I don't know why all the officials keep talking about the Crown Prince.

I wish Prince Gwang Hae becomes the Crown Prince.

What you think doesn't matter.

The lords say that Prince Sin Seong will ascend the Crown Prince position.

If you keep opening your mouth while I put powder on your face, it will get messy.

It's so pretty.

I didn't know you were here so I went around the other courtesan's house with no result.

I am glad to see you again, my Lady.

Did you see that girl at the courtesan's house?

Yes, Your Majesty. She is definitely the daughter of the late Kim Doo Seo.

Also, she is also the lady I found for you before, Your Majesty.

From a physiognomy perspective, there will be no other women like her for you.

However, because she is the daughter of a traitor, I was thinking of a way to bring her to you.

I heard that she died while she was being transferred as a slave. How did she become a courtesan?

She is not a courtesan. I hear she does makeup for the courtesans.

She started working at Jinjoogak a few months ago.

Your Majesty, if you give me your command, I will bring her right away.

No, I will go see her myself.

The bone structure looks stronger in the balance of the bone and the flesh.

It means that he keeps a sword closer than the book.

With his long, triangular nose and deep wrinkles around his mouth,

his sword won't have time to dry the blood on its blade.

Since his brow bones stick out, he has strong leadership as well as persistence.

This is the face of a military officer who will leave his name in history.

The bone under the eyebrow is caved in so much.

It means foreign land.

It's deeply concave. He will take someone else's land and

fill up his own forehead. This means greed.

[ Toyotomi Hideyoshi ] Japanese general who united Japan and started the Imjin War

This is Toyotomi Hideyoshi's face...

The cicada sings, unaware of the mantis behind.

Who is there?

I use to be a slave at Dongpyunggwan.

A slave at Dongpyunggwan?

I heard that all Japanese envoys returned to their country.

So why did you remain here?

I belong to the city office now

but I received an order to clean up this place today.

If you were a slave at Dongpyunggwan, you must have served Japanese envoys.

Do you know why they returned to their country in such a hurry?

How would someone so lowly like me know anything?

I see.

Yes.

What is that?

The stick that is sticking out right there.

Oh... you mean this...

What is this...

Here...

and then...

I'll put it here...

then...

Now, it's all ready.

What are you doing?

Why was this new weapon left out in the storage?

That is because we have more powerful weapons like arrows and firearms

so why would we carry muskets.

It is much slower than arrows when it comes to distance and accuracy

and the accuracy rate is low.

Musket...

It is very powerful for

anyone to handle.

A Japanese spy?

He was very skilled at handling muskets.

If we capture him, we could know more.

I'll wait for him in the area.

If he went to look for an item, he will definitely show up again.

Are you saying that we need to prepare for a war,

with this kind of crap as an evidence?

Father, there was someone who could shoot a musket.

I went to the Bureau of Armors and used the musket myself.

However, it was the first time I have used the weapon.

I had no problems using it.

Unlike archery which takes years of training,

I was able to handle a musket right away.

It is truly scary, Father.

What are you so scared of?

It means even a child can fight off anyone

as long as he has a musket.

If they start a war holding a musket,

we won't be able to fight them off with arrows alone.

The Japanese have stopped visiting Joseon recently

and all the Japanese envoys remaining in the city have returned to Japan.

How can you bring up the word 'war' so easily?

It seems like you're not happy that this country is having a reign of peace

and is ruled by me, isn't it?

Pardon?

Why do you only think about stirring up the people?

That's borrowing trouble.

A prince of the country brings up 'war' without a good reason...

Don't you know your reckless comments and actions can stir up the people?

You know the saying, better safe than sorry.

Do you want to accomplish something

before the Crown Prince installation?

Father!

That is enough. You may leave.

This is Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

His brow bones are protruding...

that means the face of a great leader.

You seem to be full of worries,

Your Highness.

Do I?

Chief Enuch.

Yes.

What do you think of Gwang Hae's words that there will be war?

Although it is hard to decide without

looking into the matter,

I also heard the rumor that the Japanese in the city

have all disappeared.

Although the Japanese are acting suspicious,

I cannot conclude that a war will break out because of it.

Isn't that right?

How about looking into the situation secretly

to see if Prince Gwang Hae is right?

Why do we have to spread a rumor like that?

Three years ago, the people in the 3 southern regions

were attacked by the Japanese so often.

But government troops were not enough and could not protect the people,

so Daedong Society had to protect the people instead.

By spreading the rumor,

we are warning the government.

When the people become chaotic,

the King will have to train his soldiers

and prepare against the Japanese, won't he?

Prince Gwang Hae is also claiming that the war will break out.

It will be better to add to the rumor.

Since he released the slaves to become commoners last time,

he is trusted by the people,

so it will be more effective.

Come over here.

I heard the people in the south

have already fled from their homes.

I heard that it is what Prince Gwang Hae said. (The war will break out.)

The Prince says so, but

the ones higher up are keeping it a secret even when they know everything.

I hear that the Japanese are about to swarm in like ants,

so how can I think straight and go dig up poop?

No, you can't.

My master said that I have to bring a toilet cleaner.

Let go of me!

I need to pack my stuff and flee to the north.

Look here, is that true?

Are the Japanese really invading?

You haven't heard?

It's big trouble.

There is no bigger trouble than this.

My goodness!

My goodness! What should we do?

Minister, have you heard the rumor?

The entire city is stirred up because the war that is about to break out.

So, are you trying to flee the country?

No...

Not that I need to necessarily do that...

You know as well...

Even though Kim Sung Il who went to Japan as an envoy said there will be no war,

he said that the Japanese were moving suspiciously.

So, can we change our position and report to His Majesty

that a war will break out?

Of course we can't.

I've kept an eye out for a few days, but I haven't seen the person you mentioned, Your Highness.

If I catch him and drag him to Father,

I thought that he would take my word seriously.

Please tell us!

Is there really going to be a war?

Are the Japanese really going to invade?

Do we have no choice but to wait and die?

Or do we have to flee? Please tell us!

Please tell us!

Are they still there?

Yes, Your Majesty.

They are still there.

I told you to send out some guards,

scare them, and send them back home.

Although we already did that,

there are so many people, we can't handle them.

Where did the people

hear such rumor to raise such a ruckus?

That is...

because Prince Gwang Hae said 'A war will break out. Prepare yourselves,'

the people are acting this way.

Gwang Hae did?

I definitely told you that there would be no war.

Why did you stir up the people?

Father, I never said that to the people.

Why would I stir up the people?

Are you saying that the people are lying to me?

Father, wouldn't the fact that the people are acting this way mean

that there is a sign of war?

What?

Given everything that is going on, I can't shake off my doubt.

Father, why don't you bring in the officials that went to Japan as envoys

and ask them again?

You and I cannot communicate at all.

I proclaimed that I would choose a Crown Prince

regardless of age.

I don't think there will be a possibility

that you will ascend to the Crown Prince position.

Father!

What brought you here Lord Yoo?

It is because...

I get to see you again, Your Highness.

You are doing a good job by not showing your thoughts easily...

but to be honest, aren't you upset?

Although, someone maligned you again and the situation's gotten this way.

But you did very well by focusing on the war.

You must know something too.

Hwang Yoon Gil who went to Japan as an envoy...

is a close friend of mine. According to him...

200,000 soldiers will swarm in.

An army of 200,000 soldiers?

I can clearly see how the country will collapse

but the Eastern Faction who is leading the government doesn't care.

Even though Your Highness is not fond of seeing me,

this is why I came to see you.

[ Usury Ledger ]

This is the expenses for this month...

Please sign it.

Why did you spend so much?

Do you keep money set aside that I don't know?

Trust me.

Here is the food from outside.

Lord Kim. Forgive me,

but this is mine.

It is yours again?

I realized something while in prison.

Although Joseon is a country of nobleman...

money is the best thing.

Look at yourself, Lord Kim.

You don't even get a meal from outside...

How dare you!

Would you like some?

If you don't, then that is fine.

Forget it!

Excuse me, did you hear any news from Gwiin (Royal Consort) Kim?

How dare you!. You don't even speak when you have a mouth!

When I get out, I will make you carry seven bags of rice on your shoulders.

For the rest of your life!

How dare you!

Come here.

Yes, my lord. Welcome.

Escort him to a quiet room.

Yes.

There is a girl who does makeup here.

The girl who does makeup...

I'm talking about Kim Ga Hee.

The one in the room used to be a friend of Lord Kim Do Seo,

Kim Ga Hee's father.

We have to see her now.

It has been a long time, my Lady.

If you came to drink, you came to the wrong room.

The King is here right now.

Three years ago, I went to the King to become his concubine.

Didn't His Majesty push me away?

But why are you telling me to see His Majesty again at this point?

What you said is true.

But you are a runaway slave right now.

You should be glad that we are not dragging you away by force.

I will go there myself.

How could I look like this when I have to face the King?

Then please get ready and come out.

Did you look for me, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty, please save my father

and my mother's life.

Yes, it was you.

I wanted to ask you something first once I met you again.

You're not a courtesan,

so why were you at Gwang Hae's house that day?

I lived as a man for my deceased brother a long time ago.

I met with Prince Gwang Hae at that time and we became friends.

I got hurt that day, so His Highness helped me.

Just a friend of Gwang Hae?

Yes, that is correct.

I also had a question that I wanted to ask you if I met you again, Your Majesty.

What is it?

The crime of killing my innocent parents,

the sin of filling me with poison and fury,

the sin of putting people in pain as the King...

I wanted to ask you about those crimes.

Stab me.

Didn't you take out that knife to stab me?

Since you pointed a knife at the King, if you can't stab me,

you will end up dead.

Your father was a traitor.

The King cannot let traitors live.

It is natural to punish you by death, but I will not do that.

I am going to follow procedures to make you my concubine. I will send a person soon.

Ga Hee.

Ga Hee. Ga Hee,

what happened?

I heard the man that was here was a friend of your father. Is that true?

What happened? What is the matter?

Song Wol...

What should I do now?

What?

The one who should have been a concubine...

That is right.

To meet a traitor's daughter again after refusing her ... it is a strange fate.

Probably because she is needed for the fortune of this country.

The Heaven must be helping me.

That is correct.

But, Your Majesty, it doesn't seem to be the right time to

welcome a concubine so please do so after appointing a Crown Prince.

I was planning to do that.

Where is that girl right now?

She seems to be making a living by doing makeup at Jinjoogak.

I have to run away.

I can't be in the arms of an enemy.

To me, and to Prince Gwang Hae ... how could this hell happen to us?

What brought you all the way here?

What do you mean? I came to see you.

Me?

Do you have to something urgent to tell me?

It is not that.

I wanted to give you this as soon as possible.

What is this?

I made padded clothes for you.

When did you make this?

I hope it fits you well.

Thank you.

I hope it keeps you warm. You were coughing all last night.

What should I do? I have nothing to give you in return.

You told me that I could lean on you anytime.

That is enough for me.

Okay. I am always on your side, Ga Hee.

I will always be by your side like a shadow. Whenever you want to lean, you can lean on me.

I'm sorry, brother. I have no other choice...

I'm really sorry.

My goodness, Song Wol must be upset.

I have to hurry back to Jinjoogak.

Sure.

Your Highness.

I have found that person.

I followed the person who went to Dongpyunggwan.

I saw him go into a pub at the market.

Let's go right now.

♬ When I approach one step... You are two steps further away ♬

♬ What should I do now?... It's awkward like this but ♬

♬ Even several times a day... I yearn for you ♬

♬ Like a fool this feeling ♬

Your Highness, what is wrong? ♬ Endlessly Always ♬

It's nothing. Let's go. ♬ Endlessly Always ♬

♬ Because you... Are my love ♬

♬ Even if its hard and painful... I can't stop ♬

I am leaving. ♬ this foolish love ♬

I don't think I will ever be able to see you again, your Highness.

Please achieve your dream.

♬ Because even If its wiped and erased... It remains in my heart ♬

The Queen is looking for you.

Forgive me, but I do not think I can go see her right now.

She might not follow you that easily.

No matter what happens, you have to bring her here.

Follow me quietly. Depending on what you do,

Song Wol might be tortured at the Royal Judiciary Office.

When I first saw you, I liked you for some reason.

You were the daughter of Kim Doo Seo.

Three years ago, when the King wanted to take in a concubine,

I stopped him because she was a daughter of a traitor.

But now, I have to send you to the King myself.

This must be your fate.

I do not believe in fate.

Your Highness, I cannot serve his Majesty.

I rather you take me in as a slave.

Even as the Queen, I lost my cousin three years ago from that incident.

The King exists for all the people.

The King has to be at ease for his people to be at ease.

His Majesty needs you now.

Whether it is because of your physiognomy

or if it is because he has come to like you,

you have to stay by his Majesty's side.

So it may be cruel to you

but you have to serve his Majesty.

I rather die right here.

What?

Court Lady Oh. Lock this girl deep in the palace.

Yes, Your Highness.

You will not be able to leave until you make up your mind.

Follow me.

Your Highness.

Please listen to me. Your Highness.

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Young Sin!

You are not from Joseon. Are you Japanese?

Why did you come to Joseon?

Are you determined to invade Joseon?

Are you laughing right now?

Three days ago, we have already seized Busan Castle.

What?

Three days ago, Busan Castle was

seized by the Japanese army?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, I believe Dongrae (Center area in Busan) is under siege by now.

The Joseon army is wiped out, Your Majesty.
