Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:02:38,218 --> 00:02:45,172
The final meeting between the King of
Joseon and the Ming envoy Huang Yan...
2
00:02:45,292 --> 00:02:49,087
To maintain strict security,
the Royal guards
3
00:02:49,207 --> 00:02:52,130
the palace maids
will be kept 100 paces back.
4
00:02:53,020 --> 00:02:55,134
That's when we strike.
5
00:07:03,215 --> 00:07:06,127
Stand at ease!
6
00:07:09,975 --> 00:07:11,794
Mission complete, sir!
7
00:07:57,366 --> 00:07:59,549
We've completed the training
exercise, Prime Minister.
8
00:07:59,996 --> 00:08:01,765
Good work.
9
00:08:08,420 --> 00:08:10,096
The Hall of Great Peace?
Not a chance!
10
00:08:10,216 --> 00:08:17,156
I insist! As well, your King will dismount
before Venerable Huang exists, and...
11
00:08:18,215 --> 00:08:19,331
Not possible.
12
00:08:19,451 --> 00:08:21,375
The Six Ministries Plaza!
13
00:08:21,962 --> 00:08:23,176
Gwanghwamun.
14
00:08:23,590 --> 00:08:26,762
And it will not be the King but
the Crown Prince who greets him.
15
00:08:28,217 --> 00:08:29,602
The King of Joseon!
16
00:08:29,770 --> 00:08:32,204
His Highness cannot take one step
from the Hall of Administration!
17
00:08:33,544 --> 00:08:35,587
Then there will be no
diplomatic reception!
18
00:08:36,502 --> 00:08:37,676
Let this be clear.
19
00:08:37,997 --> 00:08:40,379
It is Ming China that
rejected this reception.
20
00:08:49,890 --> 00:08:54,627
It appears most faithful retainers of
Joseon and Ming are gathered here.
21
00:09:03,719 --> 00:09:06,604
Please take a small break
before you proceed.
22
00:09:06,937 --> 00:09:11,404
The Conference Hall is hot from
the heat coming from this room.
23
00:09:19,534 --> 00:09:21,735
Try it.
24
00:09:22,045 --> 00:09:22,888
Tea?
25
00:09:24,008 --> 00:09:25,724
Ming has the best tea in the world.
26
00:09:27,373 --> 00:09:28,795
It's ginseng tea.
27
00:09:29,416 --> 00:09:31,564
Joseon is known for ginseng.
28
00:09:33,870 --> 00:09:38,270
If it suits your palate, I will pack
some for you to take home.
29
00:09:41,534 --> 00:09:44,076
Is there anything else we can get you?
30
00:09:55,594 --> 00:09:57,623
This reception is unacceptable!
31
00:09:59,086 --> 00:10:02,698
That is not for you to decide.
32
00:10:02,818 --> 00:10:05,898
Prime Minister, Join us.
33
00:10:07,205 --> 00:10:09,601
I will appeal to His Majesty
to reject this conference.
34
00:10:09,721 --> 00:10:10,622
Let's talk inside.
35
00:10:10,742 --> 00:10:12,466
Crown Prince cannot be
made a son-in-law of the Emperor.
36
00:10:12,586 --> 00:10:17,312
Must I have you dismissed from
your post for you to stop and listen?
37
00:10:18,754 --> 00:10:23,915
Perhaps it's my old age.
I'm craving sweets all the time lately.
38
00:10:26,398 --> 00:10:29,128
Try some.
It's delicious.
39
00:10:29,575 --> 00:10:31,719
It's my position that we cannot
recieve the envoys until
40
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:34,629
they sent a writ of
investiture of the Crown Prince.
41
00:10:38,801 --> 00:10:41,472
You're taking about
making an enemy of Ming.
42
00:10:42,113 --> 00:10:44,602
Are you saying we have to go
hostile on Ming from now on?
43
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:47,780
I'm talking about preserving
our national pride.
44
00:10:47,900 --> 00:10:50,903
When? After the population
of Joseon is reduced by half?
45
00:10:51,404 --> 00:10:52,272
Pardon?
46
00:10:52,392 --> 00:10:55,558
Contempt against the Royal envoy
is contempt against the Emperor.
47
00:10:55,678 --> 00:11:00,211
The hot blooded Emperor Will turn the
my he has assembled to suppress
48
00:11:00,331 --> 00:11:02,120
the Mongols on us.
49
00:11:03,195 --> 00:11:07,594
So you'd have our Crown Prince become
the son-in-law of the Ming Emperor?
50
00:11:07,802 --> 00:11:09,998
If we must we must.
51
00:11:10,178 --> 00:11:12,982
Do you have no pride?
52
00:11:14,350 --> 00:11:16,794
And no conflict of
interest either, I imagine.
53
00:11:17,709 --> 00:11:18,950
Conflict of interest?
54
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:22,475
You are a high minister of this state.
55
00:11:22,829 --> 00:11:25,411
It is undutiful to put the interest of
56
00:11:25,687 --> 00:11:33,465
Your daughter, the Crown Princess,
the before the interest of the state.
57
00:11:39,821 --> 00:11:44,401
This makes all of you rebels.
58
00:11:45,342 --> 00:11:47,346
Rebels, sir?
59
00:11:48,260 --> 00:11:54,536
It is traitorous to overlook a lamp
when darkness has fallen in the palace.
60
00:11:57,147 --> 00:12:01,733
Get the punishment rack ready
after your duties are done.
61
00:12:04,269 --> 00:12:05,971
How dare you weep!
62
00:12:07,653 --> 00:12:13,201
You're not a woman just because
you've been emasculated!
63
00:12:19,203 --> 00:12:22,907
Do you want to die right now?
64
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:54,417
What am I to do with
you incompetent men?
65
00:12:55,211 --> 00:12:59,884
You can't even properly lock
the doors after cleaning!
66
00:13:45,567 --> 00:13:46,456
Get a hold of yourself, boy!
67
00:13:46,576 --> 00:13:48,464
Snap out of it!
Snap out of it!
68
00:14:12,492 --> 00:14:15,090
Why, that's...!
69
00:14:16,058 --> 00:14:19,263
Do you know this man?
70
00:14:20,151 --> 00:14:23,316
It's Deputy Kim Byun of
the Palace Guard, sir.
71
00:14:23,930 --> 00:14:25,993
Palace Guard deputy?
72
00:14:27,214 --> 00:14:30,205
What great grudge could a palace
guard bear for the royal house
73
00:14:30,545 --> 00:14:34,965
that he would hang himself here
in a sacred audience hall?
74
00:14:37,427 --> 00:14:40,766
What are you standing around for?
75
00:14:40,886 --> 00:14:44,324
Bring that reprobate's body down at once!
76
00:14:44,444 --> 00:14:45,727
Yes, sir.
77
00:14:45,847 --> 00:14:50,847
No, no.
Call your men in for that.
78
00:14:51,094 --> 00:14:53,939
I want you to send the guards to this
79
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:56,490
man's home at once and
arrest his entire family.
80
00:14:57,571 --> 00:14:59,525
His family and kin will pay for this
81
00:14:59,874 --> 00:15:05,436
treacherous crime of defiling the
sacred palace with their lives!
82
00:15:05,623 --> 00:15:06,851
I don't think so.
83
00:15:18,066 --> 00:15:21,163
I beg your pardon, sir?
84
00:15:22,078 --> 00:15:26,142
The criminal that defiled the
palace and his family must...
85
00:15:26,363 --> 00:15:29,500
It's bad enough he's been murdered,
but wipe out his family and kin?
86
00:15:30,615 --> 00:15:34,447
Murdered?
What makes you think so?
87
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,298
Take a look at this rope.
88
00:15:43,867 --> 00:15:46,572
You don't need a long rope
like this to hang yourself.
89
00:15:46,851 --> 00:15:52,159
Someone used this rope
to hoist him up there.
90
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,055
You have an overactive imagination.
91
00:15:55,296 --> 00:15:56,584
That is my hope as well.
92
00:15:57,785 --> 00:16:00,575
Alert the Palace Dispensary and
order an autopsy immediately.
93
00:16:15,843 --> 00:16:17,974
- Death by poisoning, you say?
- Yes, sir.
94
00:16:26,502 --> 00:16:27,746
You're back.
95
00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:31,231
No one has seen Kim Byun tonight.
96
00:16:31,568 --> 00:16:32,918
Not one?
97
00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:36,096
He was off duty today, so
he was not in the palace.
98
00:16:36,216 --> 00:16:38,802
Then how did Kim Byun get...
99
00:16:40,572 --> 00:16:44,009
He could've been killed
outside and brought in?
100
00:16:44,510 --> 00:16:48,149
That means someone
broke into the palace!
101
00:17:17,732 --> 00:17:18,892
Who goes there?
102
00:17:34,966 --> 00:17:36,101
Let's go.
103
00:18:33,257 --> 00:18:34,559
Explain.
104
00:18:35,143 --> 00:18:36,433
It is with deepest regret that I report...
105
00:18:36,553 --> 00:18:37,909
Skip the small talk.
106
00:18:39,107 --> 00:18:40,230
On the crossbeam of the audience hall...
107
00:18:40,350 --> 00:18:41,535
I know.
108
00:18:43,213 --> 00:18:44,489
Who is the dead man?
109
00:18:45,508 --> 00:18:47,753
Deputy Kim Byun is his name.
110
00:18:57,525 --> 00:19:01,390
Your Majesty, Your Majesty,
Your Majesty...!
111
00:19:02,099 --> 00:19:03,710
Your Majesty...!
112
00:19:04,670 --> 00:19:06,664
Where is he?
Lead on.
113
00:19:07,566 --> 00:19:10,884
This man has defiled the sacred palace.
114
00:19:11,004 --> 00:19:13,441
He does not deserve the
King's personal attention.
115
00:19:13,733 --> 00:19:15,160
Just lead the way.
116
00:19:16,212 --> 00:19:19,550
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
117
00:19:42,934 --> 00:19:44,294
His hands.
118
00:19:46,939 --> 00:19:48,800
I want to see his hands.
119
00:20:01,601 --> 00:20:02,711
Your Majesty!
120
00:20:16,697 --> 00:20:20,211
Kim Byun...
It is him.
121
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,576
Who deployed the soldiers of
the Three Armies Command?
122
00:20:36,776 --> 00:20:38,429
For what purpose?
123
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:44,417
What's the problem?
Have you all suddenly become mute?
124
00:20:44,537 --> 00:20:49,282
Minister of Military must notify
his whereabouts at all times.
125
00:20:49,402 --> 00:20:53,782
If you had not been remiss, you
would've already been alerted.
126
00:20:56,110 --> 00:20:57,597
Your Majesty...
127
00:20:58,916 --> 00:21:05,721
This is an extraordinary circumstance,
but it is... unfitting for the King to come
128
00:21:05,841 --> 00:21:09,468
to the Palace Dispensary and
inspect the victim personally.
129
00:21:09,588 --> 00:21:14,416
Is it fitting that you, the Prime Minister,
have allowed a murder
130
00:21:14,536 --> 00:21:16,113
to take place in the sacred palace?
131
00:21:18,049 --> 00:21:24,429
It is a murder of one petty deputy that
does not call for this ado, Your Majesty.
132
00:21:24,549 --> 00:21:28,192
Your title and rank,
who do you think gave them to you?
133
00:21:28,312 --> 00:21:29,438
Me?
134
00:21:30,565 --> 00:21:33,512
Or do you think you
earned it all by yourself?
135
00:21:34,229 --> 00:21:35,423
Your Majesty...
136
00:21:35,614 --> 00:21:43,016
You would not be here today if it weren't
for the men that died for you in silence.
137
00:21:46,855 --> 00:21:47,957
Administrator of Memorials.
138
00:21:48,983 --> 00:21:50,269
Yes, Your Majesty.
139
00:21:50,389 --> 00:21:53,757
Send Kim Byun back to his home.
140
00:21:56,744 --> 00:21:58,886
We worked him hard...
141
00:21:59,006 --> 00:22:02,894
Instruct the Ministry of Rites to
give him a decent funeral as well.
142
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,955
Your wish is my command.
143
00:22:08,494 --> 00:22:11,840
You fool!
144
00:22:15,454 --> 00:22:17,874
You no-good idiots!
145
00:22:24,550 --> 00:22:26,828
Get your swords out!
What are you waiting for?
146
00:22:27,604 --> 00:22:31,784
Take them out and shove
them down your necks! Do it!
147
00:22:32,127 --> 00:22:34,309
- General...
- You don't want to do it?
148
00:22:34,429 --> 00:22:36,491
They do you want to be
thrown into Han River instead?
149
00:22:37,325 --> 00:22:39,250
How many soldiers do we
have in the Palace Guard?
150
00:22:39,370 --> 00:22:42,088
Four hundred!
151
00:22:42,208 --> 00:22:43,956
You can't handle
this little situation yourself
152
00:22:44,076 --> 00:22:46,146
that you had to call in the
Three Armies Command?
153
00:22:46,906 --> 00:22:47,892
I don't know what to say, sir...
154
00:22:48,012 --> 00:22:54,266
You better not!
You better not have anything to say!
155
00:22:57,979 --> 00:23:01,072
Withdraw the soldiers of the
Three Armies Command?
156
00:23:01,192 --> 00:23:04,702
I've already issued the order to
Central Army Chief Yi Sookbun.
157
00:23:04,822 --> 00:23:06,198
You can't.
158
00:23:06,390 --> 00:23:08,981
The palace walls might
have been breached.
159
00:23:09,101 --> 00:23:12,338
Don't forget there is a
diplomatic reception tomorrow.
160
00:23:12,839 --> 00:23:14,697
We cannot withdraw the
soldiers from the palace.
161
00:23:14,817 --> 00:23:19,027
What's more, I'm going to recommend
that martial law be declared in the city.
162
00:23:19,147 --> 00:23:20,508
Martial law?
163
00:23:20,750 --> 00:23:21,710
Yes.
164
00:23:23,671 --> 00:23:25,465
Are you out of your mind?
165
00:23:25,741 --> 00:23:26,625
Prime Minister.
166
00:23:26,745 --> 00:23:32,239
You want to tell the whole world
that there was a murder in
167
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,595
the palace where security is
supposed to be ironclad?
168
00:23:35,271 --> 00:23:45,002
The Ming envoy will pack his bags
before we start the negotiations!
169
00:23:52,338 --> 00:23:55,868
Lord Hwang, an urgent message
from the Palace Dispensary.
170
00:24:04,429 --> 00:24:05,210
What is it?
171
00:24:05,330 --> 00:24:07,933
Touch his back right here.
172
00:24:22,828 --> 00:24:24,105
It feels like beeswax.
173
00:24:26,483 --> 00:24:28,669
If my guess is right...
174
00:24:44,458 --> 00:24:46,186
This is incredible!
175
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,195
They made the inscription
and covered it with beeswax.
176
00:24:55,157 --> 00:25:01,900
This is a method used by Yuan
spies to warn their enemies.
177
00:25:03,736 --> 00:25:06,265
Yuan spies?
178
00:25:07,750 --> 00:25:11,640
Then... could Ming be involved in this?
179
00:25:20,987 --> 00:25:24,642
"Can you save the King in the making?"
180
00:25:47,049 --> 00:25:49,169
Is His Highness inside?
181
00:25:51,513 --> 00:25:53,374
I asked you a question.
182
00:25:53,783 --> 00:25:56,754
Well, um...
183
00:25:57,205 --> 00:26:00,092
His Highness is not in the East Villa?
184
00:26:29,417 --> 00:26:33,269
Your Highness, it is dangerous
for you to be out here.
185
00:26:33,389 --> 00:26:36,276
There is such a commotion in the
palace that I needed to get out.
186
00:26:36,643 --> 00:26:41,717
There's nothing like target
practice to forget your woes...
187
00:26:42,134 --> 00:26:44,217
Please return to the East Palace now.
188
00:26:44,337 --> 00:26:47,530
Heaven forbid if you should
become a target to malefactors...
189
00:26:47,650 --> 00:26:52,221
I wouldn't be a man if I
couldn't protect myself.
190
00:26:52,341 --> 00:26:53,484
Your Highness...
191
00:26:53,751 --> 00:26:56,630
You don't need to worry.
192
00:26:56,997 --> 00:26:58,424
Your Highness...
193
00:27:01,604 --> 00:27:05,092
They snubbed the King and did
not go after the Crown Prince?
194
00:27:06,136 --> 00:27:09,454
Then who in heaven's name are they after?
195
00:27:09,574 --> 00:27:12,961
I've sent guards to homes
of each prince for now.
196
00:27:30,886 --> 00:27:32,046
What brings you?
197
00:27:38,865 --> 00:27:42,462
Prince Choongnyeong is missing?
198
00:27:44,957 --> 00:27:46,735
Oh no!
199
00:27:49,104 --> 00:27:55,346
What is this? Does this mean Prince
Choongnyeong is the King in the making?
200
00:27:56,431 --> 00:27:59,836
At least the culprit seems to think so.
201
00:28:00,679 --> 00:28:04,233
Does Choongnyeong have the faculty?
202
00:28:06,294 --> 00:28:09,107
Must you be charged with treason
to come back to your senses?
203
00:28:09,607 --> 00:28:10,823
Treason?
204
00:28:10,943 --> 00:28:11,697
You called Choongnyeong a
King in the making when
205
00:28:11,817 --> 00:28:13,135
we already have an heir apparent!
206
00:28:13,255 --> 00:28:15,739
Did I say Choongnyeong
is a King in the making?
207
00:28:15,859 --> 00:28:17,582
I am analyzing the secret message!
208
00:28:17,702 --> 00:28:18,520
Stop.
209
00:28:20,114 --> 00:28:23,435
How can you argue at a time like this?
210
00:28:29,217 --> 00:28:30,034
Prime Minister,
211
00:28:30,328 --> 00:28:32,235
we must declare martial law.
212
00:28:32,355 --> 00:28:35,226
A Royal Prince is missing.
213
00:28:52,817 --> 00:28:54,419
Martial law will not be declared.
214
00:28:58,099 --> 00:29:01,347
Your Majesty, the safety of
a Royal Prince is at stake.
215
00:29:01,788 --> 00:29:03,648
Safety of Joseon comes first.
216
00:29:04,558 --> 00:29:07,718
The Ming envoys are the
prime suspects as it stands.
217
00:29:07,838 --> 00:29:12,082
Your Majesty, we must investigate
the Hall of Great Peace.
218
00:29:12,202 --> 00:29:13,519
The Hall of Great Peace?
219
00:29:23,333 --> 00:29:24,864
Keep your hands off.
220
00:29:25,391 --> 00:29:29,421
I want no disruption until
the negotiation is reached.
221
00:29:40,862 --> 00:29:44,150
He will not attend to the safety
Prince Choongnyeong?
222
00:30:03,110 --> 00:30:04,787
Hall of Great Peace?
223
00:30:06,097 --> 00:30:08,841
Should I have ordered an investigation?
224
00:30:08,961 --> 00:30:11,764
Would that ensure Choongnyeong's safety?
225
00:30:12,481 --> 00:30:15,052
Of course not.
226
00:30:17,237 --> 00:30:24,715
If I were the Emperor, I would not write
such an easily discipherable message.
227
00:30:25,374 --> 00:30:27,752
You truly are a wise man.
228
00:30:28,261 --> 00:30:32,658
You can see through the
heart of the Ming Emperor.
229
00:30:35,295 --> 00:30:39,297
But why are you so dim when it comes
affairs of this pint size palace?
230
00:30:39,417 --> 00:30:40,907
Your Majesty...
231
00:30:41,027 --> 00:30:42,229
Who is it?
232
00:30:43,013 --> 00:30:45,856
Who is this vile character that
blatantly violates the palace
233
00:30:45,976 --> 00:30:49,347
and displays contempt
against the royal house?
234
00:30:51,350 --> 00:30:53,453
Why can't you answer?
235
00:30:54,171 --> 00:30:57,902
Because hasty judgement
will bring misfortune.
236
00:30:59,312 --> 00:31:02,091
But you do know who the enemy is?
237
00:31:02,625 --> 00:31:08,860
Yes.
But there are too many to pick from.
238
00:31:10,220 --> 00:31:11,638
Prime Minister.
239
00:31:12,414 --> 00:31:16,753
There are countless enemies
that covet your throne.
240
00:31:17,152 --> 00:31:19,632
The abdicated King in Indeok Palace,
241
00:31:20,308 --> 00:31:23,206
the exiled prince Banggan,
242
00:31:23,326 --> 00:31:27,023
and the regional aristocrats
the lower three state
243
00:31:27,265 --> 00:31:29,381
where our governing
power do not reach...
244
00:31:29,501 --> 00:31:32,930
Don't forget the Japanese
and the barbarians.
245
00:31:33,431 --> 00:31:34,758
Your Majesty...
246
00:31:35,217 --> 00:31:38,523
Prime Minister is an easy job.
247
00:31:38,814 --> 00:31:41,276
All you have to do is to
know the Kings enemies.
248
00:31:43,103 --> 00:31:47,994
Swinging the sword is not my job.
249
00:31:50,298 --> 00:31:51,474
Prime Minister.
250
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,937
Remember.
251
00:31:55,688 --> 00:32:02,222
Neither the throne nor
this state Joseon belong to me.
252
00:32:03,766 --> 00:32:08,080
Your Highness!
Crown Prince, Your Highness!
253
00:32:09,441 --> 00:32:10,752
Your Highness!
254
00:32:12,529 --> 00:32:14,181
Is it true?
255
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,643
Leave us.
Were discussing state affairs.
256
00:32:24,102 --> 00:32:27,320
- Father.
- Leave us, I said.
257
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,091
This is the audience hall.
258
00:32:29,425 --> 00:32:33,897
You may be the Crown Prince,
but politics is not your game yet.
259
00:32:37,561 --> 00:32:42,033
He is here to attend to the safety of
his younger brothers not politics.
260
00:32:48,517 --> 00:32:50,144
Please clear the room.
261
00:32:50,695 --> 00:32:53,765
Am in the middle of
discussing state affairs.
262
00:32:54,074 --> 00:32:57,904
Royal attendant, are you outside?
263
00:33:03,003 --> 00:33:05,824
Bring me all of the lamps
hanging in the gallery.
264
00:33:08,428 --> 00:33:09,261
Your Highness...
265
00:33:09,381 --> 00:33:10,897
My Queen.
266
00:33:14,269 --> 00:33:16,452
Will you clear the room?
267
00:33:16,572 --> 00:33:21,229
Or shall I have, them light
up the Royal Chambers?
268
00:33:35,392 --> 00:33:37,704
What atrocity is this?
269
00:33:41,801 --> 00:33:44,171
How terribly concerned you must be.
270
00:33:44,889 --> 00:33:46,630
Yes...
271
00:33:47,042 --> 00:33:52,432
Son-in-law is a son as well, and
Prince Choongnyeong is missing.
272
00:33:53,417 --> 00:33:58,933
This is got to be worse
for you his blood relative.
273
00:34:04,383 --> 00:34:09,882
What evil person could have
done this?
274
00:34:11,677 --> 00:34:13,554
Do you have any idea?
275
00:34:14,630 --> 00:34:16,400
We will have to conduct an investigation.
276
00:34:16,608 --> 00:34:21,540
The culprit could be closer than we think.
277
00:34:28,574 --> 00:34:31,329
Well then, we have a lot of work to do.
278
00:34:39,323 --> 00:34:44,957
I don't like their atitude.
It's as if they suspect us.
279
00:34:45,273 --> 00:34:47,545
Can you blame them?
280
00:34:52,559 --> 00:34:53,947
Prime Minister?
281
00:35:18,762 --> 00:35:22,417
Where is your dignity as
the mother of the state?
282
00:35:24,362 --> 00:35:26,539
All is well when there is harmony at home.
283
00:35:27,232 --> 00:35:29,386
My duty as a mother comes first.
284
00:35:29,669 --> 00:35:31,363
Duty as a mother?
285
00:35:32,590 --> 00:35:35,962
It's not something
I hear from you often.
286
00:35:37,356 --> 00:35:41,896
Place the city under
martial law right now.
287
00:35:43,298 --> 00:35:47,594
Send out every soldier we have and
order them to find Choongnyeong.
288
00:35:47,714 --> 00:35:51,452
The military does not
exist to protect a prince.
289
00:35:53,029 --> 00:35:58,554
Is it because he is not a child
of the concubine you love?
290
00:35:59,530 --> 00:36:02,000
That is a ridiculous remark.
291
00:36:02,851 --> 00:36:08,518
If that is not the reason, I do not
understand what you are doing.
292
00:36:09,594 --> 00:36:13,121
My decision would be the same
no matter which child is missing.
293
00:36:13,241 --> 00:36:14,801
A beast with a human face.
294
00:36:16,963 --> 00:36:18,836
That's what you are.
295
00:36:20,593 --> 00:36:24,774
You are not human.
You can't be human.
296
00:36:25,892 --> 00:36:28,045
Are you just finding that out?
297
00:36:28,996 --> 00:36:30,247
Pardon?
298
00:36:31,090 --> 00:36:34,185
I gave up on living my life
as human a long time ago.
299
00:36:35,479 --> 00:36:42,063
On that day that I decided I would be
the King of this state called Joseon.
300
00:36:44,249 --> 00:36:50,591
You did your part pushing me and
hounding me to rise to the throne.
301
00:36:51,008 --> 00:36:56,273
You should've been prepared for this then.
302
00:37:45,948 --> 00:37:47,634
That night...
303
00:37:51,999 --> 00:37:57,632
The three of us were
together that night...
304
00:38:11,494 --> 00:38:16,699
The Second Princes Rebellion: Conflict over the throne
between Taejo's two sons Bangwon and Banggan
305
00:38:16,819 --> 00:38:22,468
which ended in Bang-won's victory and rise to power
as the third King of Joseon.
306
00:38:22,588 --> 00:38:24,299
Drop the sword.
307
00:38:25,238 --> 00:38:27,491
I do not wish to strike my brother.
308
00:38:29,068 --> 00:38:30,446
Attack!
309
00:38:31,715 --> 00:38:33,909
Attack!
310
00:38:59,329 --> 00:39:05,549
The night Uncle Hoean and Father
fought that bloody battle for the throne...
311
00:39:06,063 --> 00:39:10,011
the night that Uncle Hoean's
took us hostage...
312
00:39:10,995 --> 00:39:13,099
We were together.
313
00:39:14,684 --> 00:39:18,039
Kill the hostages and throw
their heads before Yi Bangwon!
314
00:39:18,865 --> 00:39:21,978
That's the only way to break them!
315
00:40:31,143 --> 00:40:34,739
Did you protect your brothers?
316
00:41:11,598 --> 00:41:16,196
But tonight he is alone.
317
00:41:18,216 --> 00:41:23,564
Choongnyeong has no one...
318
00:41:25,225 --> 00:41:26,502
Your Highness...
319
00:41:34,905 --> 00:41:36,925
I will not forgive them.
320
00:41:38,619 --> 00:41:40,830
If anything should happen
to Choongnyeong,
321
00:41:41,682 --> 00:41:48,482
I will not forgive Father and the
ministers who neglected to protect him.
322
00:41:50,669 --> 00:41:56,452
And I will personally slay
those who harmed him!
323
00:42:10,029 --> 00:42:11,998
Was it you?
324
00:42:16,446 --> 00:42:22,180
Not just anyone can kill an officer
of the Palace Guard and hang
325
00:42:22,622 --> 00:42:25,202
the body in the audience hall.
326
00:42:26,003 --> 00:42:31,018
And to lure out the prince
without being detected,
327
00:42:31,502 --> 00:42:34,248
you would at least have to be his uncle.
328
00:42:34,865 --> 00:42:38,905
Are you going to turn me in?
329
00:42:39,564 --> 00:42:42,151
Where is Prince Choongnyeong?
330
00:42:43,487 --> 00:42:44,354
You...
331
00:42:44,646 --> 00:42:46,049
You didn't do this.
332
00:42:46,169 --> 00:42:47,843
Did you, brother?
333
00:42:54,718 --> 00:42:59,233
What would I have to gain by doing this?
334
00:42:59,992 --> 00:43:04,139
A warning.
You're sending the King a warning.
335
00:43:14,027 --> 00:43:17,482
There has been two bloody
rebellions for the throne.
336
00:43:18,767 --> 00:43:23,106
But His Majesty has been noticeably
negligent lately toward the Queen's
337
00:43:23,799 --> 00:43:29,198
family that delivered the throne
to him by swinging their swords.
338
00:43:29,915 --> 00:43:36,216
So you became angry at the King.
339
00:43:41,106 --> 00:43:43,293
Angry at the King?
340
00:43:46,555 --> 00:43:51,001
Then I guess you could
be the culprit as well.
341
00:43:51,121 --> 00:43:52,297
Pardon?
342
00:43:52,940 --> 00:43:59,724
You occupy a lofty position
second only to the King.
343
00:44:00,125 --> 00:44:02,678
You can control everyone except the King
344
00:44:02,937 --> 00:44:05,942
when a Prime Minister should
able to influence all of
345
00:44:06,801 --> 00:44:10,899
the King's decision like
that nefarious Chung Dojeon.
346
00:44:11,684 --> 00:44:12,751
Lord Min!
347
00:44:13,511 --> 00:44:15,322
We are on the same boat.
348
00:44:16,323 --> 00:44:20,813
You are under just as
much suspicion as I am.
349
00:44:23,383 --> 00:44:26,846
Don't even think about dragging
family into this.
350
00:44:36,468 --> 00:44:42,628
Whoever is behind this,
you are the one with most to gain.
351
00:44:43,478 --> 00:44:50,197
Since you are the only one the
affronted King will trust and rely on.
352
00:44:53,359 --> 00:44:57,473
Why don't you send
Choongnyeong back home now?
353
00:44:57,593 --> 00:45:06,052
The King will want to give you half
of his authority in delight and relief.
354
00:45:08,522 --> 00:45:11,735
It's exactly these kind of
futile ambition you have
355
00:45:13,271 --> 00:45:16,008
that makes me more suspicious of you.
356
00:45:23,844 --> 00:45:28,881
I don't even dream about sharing
the royal authority with the King.
357
00:45:29,001 --> 00:45:30,444
Do you know why?
358
00:45:31,546 --> 00:45:37,619
Because I know that His Majesty
would never share his authority
359
00:45:37,739 --> 00:45:43,039
even if he has to kill every
last one of his sons.
360
00:46:53,829 --> 00:46:55,339
Did you wish to see me?
361
00:46:55,723 --> 00:46:57,300
About the Prince...
362
00:46:57,517 --> 00:47:01,786
Don't worry so much.
We will hear good news soon.
363
00:47:01,906 --> 00:47:05,196
But if, Father...
364
00:47:06,029 --> 00:47:09,375
If it's true that the Prince
is been kidnapped...
365
00:47:10,485 --> 00:47:13,564
It's likely it was done
by someone he knows.
366
00:47:38,941 --> 00:47:40,560
Why didn't you bring this forward sooner?
367
00:47:41,737 --> 00:47:47,313
Who could the Prince had
to meet so late at night?
368
00:48:02,140 --> 00:48:03,807
Where is Prince Choongnyeong?
369
00:48:05,529 --> 00:48:09,860
Where did you take the Prince?
370
00:48:17,202 --> 00:48:22,660
"... Someone I must meet."
It's a very obscure description, isn't it?
371
00:48:24,730 --> 00:48:29,327
Princes have barely any
contact with the world.
372
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,008
Their family is all they know.
373
00:48:34,310 --> 00:48:37,481
Who could the Prince possibly venture
out to see in the darkness of the night
374
00:48:38,056 --> 00:48:39,801
without thinking twice?
375
00:48:40,702 --> 00:48:43,088
There's only one man.
376
00:48:44,657 --> 00:48:46,167
One man who is not a member of
the royal family and
377
00:48:46,618 --> 00:48:49,564
yet can go in and out of the
Royal Villa as he pleases.
378
00:48:50,816 --> 00:48:59,923
That's you, Yi Su,
the mentor to the Royal Prince!
379
00:49:10,128 --> 00:49:14,176
Advise the King to leave the seat of power.
380
00:49:14,577 --> 00:49:16,412
And if you can,
381
00:49:16,532 --> 00:49:20,851
tell him to drop the name of
this country Joseon as well.
382
00:49:23,405 --> 00:49:27,215
That confirms your treasonous heart.
383
00:49:27,335 --> 00:49:30,038
I am not treasonous, you are.
384
00:49:30,406 --> 00:49:31,433
What did you say?
385
00:49:31,808 --> 00:49:34,553
Completely disregarding
the authority of the King?
386
00:49:34,937 --> 00:49:37,265
Isn't that treasonous?
387
00:49:38,959 --> 00:49:45,627
You are showing complete
disregard for the King's sword.
388
00:49:45,844 --> 00:49:47,871
And it is no ordinary sword.
389
00:49:48,205 --> 00:49:52,386
It did its share of work in bringing
down Goryeo and erecting Joseon.
390
00:49:52,670 --> 00:49:54,069
That's not all.
391
00:49:54,189 --> 00:49:56,062
This is the word
that incapacitated King Taejo.
392
00:49:56,182 --> 00:49:57,854
It's a powerful sword that struck
393
00:49:57,974 --> 00:50:00,147
and killed meritorious subjects
and even brothers of blood.
394
00:50:00,406 --> 00:50:05,137
Most importantly, isn't it
the Kings sword that is
395
00:50:05,571 --> 00:50:10,185
firmly supporting the throne right now?
396
00:50:14,183 --> 00:50:17,988
But you're here insisting that the
King's mighty sword could not
397
00:50:19,031 --> 00:50:24,414
hold back an ordinary scholar and
placed the Prince's life in danger.
398
00:50:27,034 --> 00:50:35,337
Is the sovereign King of Joseon
to be slighted in this manner?
399
00:50:52,294 --> 00:50:55,365
Royal Attendant, are you there?
400
00:50:56,316 --> 00:50:57,902
Yes, Your Majesty.
401
00:50:58,911 --> 00:51:01,148
Call Sangin.
402
00:51:06,763 --> 00:51:08,173
Your Majesty.
403
00:51:16,895 --> 00:51:21,017
I'm sure you know about my son.
404
00:51:23,069 --> 00:51:25,305
Yes, Your Majesty...
405
00:51:26,065 --> 00:51:28,935
I've never asked much from him.
406
00:51:29,503 --> 00:51:37,079
"Don't study so hard. Play hard.
But always take care of yourself."
407
00:51:37,199 --> 00:51:38,534
That's what I taught him.
408
00:51:44,334 --> 00:51:46,896
But I guess my teachings were not enough.
409
00:51:47,956 --> 00:51:49,224
Your Majesty...
410
00:51:50,910 --> 00:51:53,146
You're going to have to step in for me.
411
00:51:54,440 --> 00:52:01,175
If you come through, I might get
another chance to teach my son right.
412
00:52:01,992 --> 00:52:06,689
I will obey your command with
that in mind, Your Majesty.
413
00:52:09,218 --> 00:52:12,798
I don't know what to say...
414
00:52:15,126 --> 00:52:18,723
Kim Byun was your most
cherished subordinate.
415
00:52:19,082 --> 00:52:21,870
His death must be hard
for you to deal with...
416
00:52:25,158 --> 00:52:31,155
The safety of the royal house
comes before my personal feelings.
417
00:52:31,275 --> 00:52:32,310
And...
418
00:52:41,698 --> 00:52:46,271
Don't get yourself killed
like Kim Byun did.
419
00:52:48,674 --> 00:52:52,580
I will keep that in mind
at all time, Your Majesty.
420
00:53:06,641 --> 00:53:16,664
It's too bad I couldn't see the
frightened look on Yi Bangwon's face.
421
00:53:26,637 --> 00:53:31,027
It's for the Kill.
Good work.
422
00:53:45,147 --> 00:53:49,253
That ought to serve as a good warning.
423
00:53:54,077 --> 00:53:58,684
Yi Bangwon that fool...
424
00:54:00,152 --> 00:54:05,686
He should know now just how
vulnerable the palace walls are.
425
00:54:08,039 --> 00:54:13,973
Now it's time to show him how
meaningless the royal robe is
426
00:54:14,507 --> 00:54:18,422
that he picked up and put on himself.
427
00:54:22,953 --> 00:54:27,043
This is just a start.
428
00:54:41,545 --> 00:54:44,049
Where did I go wrong?
429
00:54:45,476 --> 00:54:46,711
Jachi?
430
00:54:50,316 --> 00:54:54,531
Ilji, I have to go outside the palace.
431
00:54:54,865 --> 00:54:56,467
Outside?
432
00:54:58,060 --> 00:55:03,242
We have an order not to leave
the palace since the murder, remember?
433
00:55:03,534 --> 00:55:05,779
That's why I need your help.
434
00:55:06,255 --> 00:55:08,397
I'll take care of the guards somehow,
435
00:55:08,517 --> 00:55:09,986
so if the Royal Attendant
comes looking for me,
436
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,254
tell him I'm in bed sick from the trauma.
437
00:55:13,374 --> 00:55:14,417
All right?
438
00:55:17,137 --> 00:55:19,181
Jachi!
Um Jachi!
439
00:55:43,162 --> 00:55:44,898
We have to go to Soongshin District now!
440
00:55:46,659 --> 00:55:48,494
What are you talking about?
441
00:55:49,270 --> 00:55:54,562
If we don't bring Prince Choongnyeong
back safely tonight, we're both dead!
442
00:55:57,098 --> 00:55:59,242
Take your hands off of me!
443
00:56:04,808 --> 00:56:05,943
Kneel!
444
00:56:06,202 --> 00:56:07,687
How dare you!
445
00:56:10,065 --> 00:56:11,917
I said kneel.
446
00:56:13,252 --> 00:56:16,623
I have not been taught
to kneel before a knave!
447
00:56:27,380 --> 00:56:30,534
And were you taught to yell
while you're trembling like a leaf?
448
00:56:34,172 --> 00:56:35,783
Do you wish to die?
449
00:56:36,150 --> 00:56:39,797
I will have you killed for this contempt!
450
00:56:41,299 --> 00:56:45,654
You will!
How when your trembling so hard?
451
00:56:48,241 --> 00:56:50,428
Do you want this dagger in your hand?
452
00:56:52,456 --> 00:56:58,055
Your hands are shaking so
hard you can't even swing it.
453
00:57:06,101 --> 00:57:08,087
Give us your father's name!
454
00:57:09,572 --> 00:57:14,220
Not in your life! It is a name too
exalted for your recreant ears!
455
00:57:27,121 --> 00:57:29,383
Just kill the boy.
456
00:57:35,308 --> 00:57:36,534
What's this?
457
00:57:37,586 --> 00:57:42,275
It'd for the goods.
Take it and do as I say.
458
00:57:43,794 --> 00:57:45,288
No, thanks.
459
00:57:45,772 --> 00:57:50,046
Judging from the kid's appearance,
his family must be loaded.
460
00:57:50,646 --> 00:57:52,365
I'm not done with him.
461
00:57:53,417 --> 00:57:57,347
His family is not just loaded
they control this state.
462
00:57:58,457 --> 00:58:00,426
Foreman Jeon...
463
00:58:10,364 --> 00:58:12,175
It belongs to the Royal house.
464
00:58:13,485 --> 00:58:16,765
Only a Royal Prince can possess it.
465
00:58:18,860 --> 00:58:24,383
Kill him at once!
Or you'll end up dead.
466
00:58:32,286 --> 00:58:34,457
Come on.
Place your bets.
467
00:58:34,799 --> 00:58:35,909
Here.
468
00:58:40,073 --> 00:58:42,259
That's big money.
469
00:58:42,752 --> 00:58:44,070
We work our hands to the bone, and...
470
00:58:44,190 --> 00:58:46,698
I wonder what kind of work you
boys have been doing when
471
00:58:46,982 --> 00:58:48,607
you're not in the militia anymore.
472
00:58:48,727 --> 00:58:51,731
Give us a break.
Do you really have to ask?
473
00:58:54,535 --> 00:58:58,808
Who do you work for?
Is it Lord Mim Mugu?
474
00:58:59,075 --> 00:59:00,474
No, no!
475
00:59:00,594 --> 00:59:05,565
Then is it the power
hungry regional lords?
476
00:59:05,685 --> 00:59:10,598
Talk!
Where did you take the Prince?
477
00:59:10,718 --> 00:59:14,164
Stop!
I don't know what you're talking about.
478
00:59:17,118 --> 00:59:19,355
We had nothing to do with this!
479
00:59:19,475 --> 00:59:22,092
Someone else caught the big fish.
480
00:59:23,485 --> 00:59:25,721
You're barking up the wrong tree!
481
00:59:28,851 --> 00:59:30,870
What did you just say?
482
00:59:33,357 --> 00:59:34,508
Talk!
483
00:59:35,393 --> 00:59:37,868
Come on, be nice.
484
00:59:37,988 --> 00:59:42,215
You were one of us before
you made your way up.
485
00:59:42,335 --> 00:59:45,482
Even us muscle men have trade ethics.
486
00:59:50,572 --> 00:59:52,500
Do you want to lose a hand?
487
00:59:54,369 --> 00:59:58,625
Or should I emasculate you?
Now talk!
488
01:00:00,452 --> 01:00:02,104
Darn it!
489
01:00:23,959 --> 01:00:25,011
Boss.
490
01:00:30,050 --> 01:00:31,327
How did it go?
491
01:00:39,488 --> 01:00:41,557
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
492
01:00:42,884 --> 01:00:44,161
Pack up.
493
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:45,571
Boss...?
494
01:00:46,732 --> 01:00:50,262
We're going to bury them
and get out of this town.
495
01:00:59,749 --> 01:01:01,469
Let go!
496
01:01:01,686 --> 01:01:03,889
Let go of me!
497
01:01:06,877 --> 01:01:08,129
Let go!
498
01:01:09,197 --> 01:01:11,557
I said let go!
499
01:01:40,497 --> 01:01:41,573
Get up!
500
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,420
Open the gate!
501
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:34,784
Your Highness, we must hurry...
502
01:04:40,743 --> 01:04:42,312
Your Highness!
503
01:04:55,922 --> 01:04:59,969
You made it.
Have you fared well?
504
01:05:01,462 --> 01:05:05,960
As you can see, I'm not in a
position to exchange greetings.
505
01:05:08,755 --> 01:05:14,488
You're accusing an innocent man
without any proof of wrongdoing.
506
01:05:17,843 --> 01:05:19,654
Proof?
507
01:05:24,979 --> 01:05:28,259
Can you protect the King in the making?
508
01:05:29,602 --> 01:05:33,841
This is undeniable proof that
you are behind this crime.
509
01:05:36,786 --> 01:05:39,824
It's rare to see this kind of handwriting.
510
01:05:40,183 --> 01:05:42,661
In fact, there is no one but you in this city
511
01:05:43,062 --> 01:05:46,024
with such fluid and
eloquent writing style...
512
01:05:47,401 --> 01:05:50,555
Unless the men of Dumun-dong
cam back to life.
513
01:05:50,675 --> 01:05:52,416
Dumun-dong: District where 72 surviving
retainers of Goguryeon who opposed the
514
01:05:52,536 --> 01:05:54,416
founding of Joseon had previously resided.
founding of Joseon had previously resided
515
01:05:54,536 --> 01:05:56,647
You must be in need of money.
516
01:05:59,902 --> 01:06:02,255
I just want to catch the culprit.
517
01:06:20,397 --> 01:06:21,974
Your Highness!
518
01:06:46,435 --> 01:06:52,234
Your Highness, I think we lost them.
519
01:06:53,202 --> 01:06:54,621
We can catch our breaths now.
520
01:06:55,514 --> 01:06:59,101
You don't have to be scared anymore.
521
01:07:02,839 --> 01:07:03,904
I'm not scared!
522
01:07:04,024 --> 01:07:06,152
Who said I'm scared?
523
01:07:07,655 --> 01:07:10,917
That's a strong punch.
524
01:07:11,410 --> 01:07:15,040
It's a good sign.
You're not hurt.
525
01:07:16,066 --> 01:07:19,680
I was so afraid I may not
be able to protect you.
526
01:07:34,234 --> 01:07:35,094
Confess.
527
01:07:35,214 --> 01:07:39,341
Who did you conspire the kidnapping
with and what are you after?
528
01:07:40,251 --> 01:07:45,074
I'm not a fool who wastes precious
ink on untruthful statements.
529
01:07:45,733 --> 01:07:47,561
Untruthful statements?
530
01:07:48,946 --> 01:07:51,617
Prince Choongnyeong
is not a King material.
531
01:07:52,209 --> 01:07:56,298
He does not have what it
takes to be a sovereign.
532
01:07:56,540 --> 01:07:58,584
I'm a Prince!
533
01:07:59,293 --> 01:08:01,297
And you are my subject.
534
01:08:02,281 --> 01:08:04,267
You can't protect me.
535
01:08:04,660 --> 01:08:06,996
Who do you think you are?
536
01:08:07,714 --> 01:08:09,291
Your Highness...
537
01:08:10,017 --> 01:08:14,256
It is the prince that protects
his subjects and his people.
