1
00:00:22,580 --> 00:00:24,910
The night is deep,
Your Majesty.
2
00:00:25,740 --> 00:00:27,840
But this is most urgent.
3
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,930
Three days... He has not had
a drop of water in three days.
4
00:00:35,290 --> 00:00:41,970
It appears he has been
preparing for death prior to this.
5
00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:45,940
Prior to this?
What do you mean?
6
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:52,030
I'm told he has been denying
food since the day we began
I'm told he has been denying
food since the day we began
7
00:00:52,780 --> 00:00:55,230
to retreat fromomul Fort.
That would make it 7 - 8 days
8
00:00:56,580 --> 00:01:03,150
Oh, dear...How foolish he is
to blame himself for our defeat!
9
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:06,590
My error is greater than his.
10
00:01:07,180 --> 00:01:15,690
No, Your Majesty. Each and every
soldier is equally responsible.
11
00:01:17,130 --> 00:01:19,700
Let the painful
past be forgotten.
12
00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:22,350
But that is hard to do.
13
00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:26,430
The warriors are anxiously
waiting to exact revenge.
14
00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:31,410
All of us are preparing
ourselves for death and
15
00:01:31,670 --> 00:01:33,420
waiting for that day to come.
16
00:01:35,140 --> 00:01:43,430
God was not with us on that
battle. But not all was lost.
17
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,330
We met our enemy face to face
and had a chance to observe
18
00:01:48,380 --> 00:01:52,390
them closely. What we learned
will be useful in the future.
19
00:01:53,940 --> 00:01:59,020
Perhaps, but the shame
we feel is uncontrollable.
20
00:01:59,750 --> 00:02:04,340
I can only imagine how Choi
Ung feels having negotiated
21
00:02:05,570 --> 00:02:07,430
the surrender.
22
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:11,730
But why must he do this when
I understand he had no choice?
23
00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:16,140
He will be swayed once he sees
the great trouble Your Majesty
24
00:02:16,390 --> 00:02:18,900
is goin for him.
25
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,960
I certainly hope he does...
26
00:02:34,870 --> 00:02:41,410
His Majesty has gone
to Choi Ung's manor.
27
00:02:42,581 --> 00:02:47,330
Yes. Sir Choi is apparently
trying to take his own life.
28
00:02:48,913 --> 00:02:50,830
I'm sure the guilt
weighed heavily on him.
29
00:02:51,830 --> 00:02:54,440
After all he was the one
who mediated the humiliating
30
00:02:55,170 --> 00:03:00,730
meeting between His Majesty
and the king of Bekjae.
31
00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:06,570
But Choi Ung can't be blamed.
It was His Majesty's decision.
32
00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:15,490
I feel sorry for the young man.
All of us were too hard on him.
33
00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:24,400
But it is true that he negotiated
the entire arrangement.
34
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,330
He cannot deny
his responsability.
35
00:03:26,970 --> 00:03:27,730
He can't be held
responsible for this.
36
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,430
We were indeed too hard on him.
It is not as if we had a better
37
00:03:35,150 --> 00:03:40,540
solution. It is wrong to blame
him for what happened.
38
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,960
I'm glad His Majesty
went to his manor.
39
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:53,190
Choi Ung is a very valuable
person on our government.
40
00:03:54,350 --> 00:03:57,930
You are right, Brother.
But I want to know how much
41
00:03:58,780 --> 00:04:03,180
longer we have to lay low
in silence against Bekjae.
42
00:04:03,650 --> 00:04:04,880
How much longer?
43
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,990
With the suspension of the
cabinet meetings on top of that,
44
00:04:11,230 --> 00:04:12,960
I feel like the world has
suddenly stopped.
45
00:04:14,700 --> 00:04:18,120
I don't understand why
His Majesty is so restrained.
46
00:04:18,790 --> 00:04:22,790
No meetings, no war, no aid
to our ally Shilla when they
47
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,800
are begging for help!
48
00:04:27,010 --> 00:04:28,450
It is all because of the
battle of Jomul Fort.
49
00:04:29,090 --> 00:04:30,750
We could get crushed by
Bekjae if we continue to
50
00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:35,560
sit on our thumbs.
His Majesty must rise up.
51
00:04:35,570 --> 00:04:42,400
Choi Ung must return to the
court first before any kind
52
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,380
of decision is made.
53
00:04:44,730 --> 00:04:53,090
We needhim. He is the best
military strategist we have.
54
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:57,850
Perhaps we should speak
to His Majesty ourselves.
55
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,140
Yes...
56
00:05:09,430 --> 00:05:12,290
We are here, Your Majesty.
57
00:05:12,740 --> 00:05:13,670
Good.
58
00:05:15,250 --> 00:05:16,790
Halt!
59
00:05:22,290 --> 00:05:24,760
What is that?
60
00:05:30,770 --> 00:05:33,250
It looks like a mourning
lamp, Your Majesty.
61
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:40,890
A mourning lamp? Does this
mean Choi Ung is dead?
62
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:44,420
Let us go.
This can't be...
63
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,050
Open the gate!
His Majesty has arrived!
64
00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:56,160
Open the gate!
65
00:06:05,810 --> 00:06:08,300
Commander Shin, command
in His Majesty's name.
66
00:06:09,150 --> 00:06:12,490
Tell them to open
the gate at once.
67
00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:14,050
Yes, General.
68
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,050
Open this gate!
It is His Majesty's order!
69
00:06:19,710 --> 00:06:23,380
Open this gate at once!
Open this gate!
70
00:06:26,850 --> 00:06:33,300
What are you waiting for?
His Majesty has arrived!
71
00:06:34,220 --> 00:06:35,540
Open this gate!
72
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,710
His Majesty has arrived!
73
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,010
It is the royal command!
Open this gate at once!
74
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,720
What do we do?
His Majesty is here!
75
00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:03,850
But we are not to open the
gate under any circumstaces.
76
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:07,990
But it is the Emperor!
77
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,110
Men, open the gate at once!
78
00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:21,610
How dare you keep
His Majesty waiting!
79
00:07:22,850 --> 00:07:23,910
Please forgive me.
80
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:28,530
We were under strict orders
to keep the gate locked...
81
00:07:29,890 --> 00:07:31,510
Why is that lamp
hanging outside?
82
00:07:32,690 --> 00:07:34,720
Do not tell me that
Choi Ung is gone.
83
00:07:36,030 --> 00:07:44,600
No, YourMajesty. Lord Choi
has asked us to hang the lamp.
84
00:07:48,412 --> 00:07:49,280
Let us go inside.
85
00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:50,690
Yes, Your Majesty.
86
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,000
Sir Choi, His Majesty
has come to see you.
87
00:08:13,510 --> 00:08:14,660
Please come outside
and receive him.
88
00:08:17,950 --> 00:08:20,330
Sir Choi, open the
door and receive him.
89
00:08:21,390 --> 00:08:22,580
Please open the door!
90
00:08:38,780 --> 00:08:40,090
Open the door, Sir Choi!
91
00:08:53,510 --> 00:08:59,480
Why are you doing this,
Choi Ung?
92
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:01,670
Open the door.
93
00:09:10,892 --> 00:09:11,860
Unlock the door.
94
00:09:13,650 --> 00:09:14,230
Unlock the door.
95
00:10:16,530 --> 00:10:19,720
I give my life to
pay for my crime.
96
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,290
This is not a place fit for
you visit, Your Majesty.
97
00:10:24,010 --> 00:10:26,450
Please leave this
criminal's house.
98
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:32,640
Choi Ung,if you seel punishment
for your error I must as well.
99
00:10:39,810 --> 00:10:42,210
What will happen to this
kingdom without you?
100
00:10:43,050 --> 00:10:45,450
Please stop this.
101
00:10:45,530 --> 00:10:50,710
No, Your Majesty. Please
allow me to do my duty.
102
00:10:52,350 --> 00:11:00,040
I ask you this. The world may
call you a loyal servant if you
103
00:11:00,810 --> 00:11:06,480
fulfill your duty, but what
will my people say about me?
104
00:11:09,980 --> 00:11:13,770
Please forgive me. I have
already chosen my path.
105
00:11:13,810 --> 00:11:20,910
Choi Ung will be admire as
the one who gave his life
106
00:11:22,110 --> 00:11:25,110
for his duty, and I will be
laughed at because of you.
107
00:11:26,380 --> 00:11:30,570
They will say I am a cowardly
king who let his good servant
108
00:11:31,460 --> 00:11:33,160
take the fall for his error.
109
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,810
Is your honor important
enough to trample mine?
110
00:11:38,090 --> 00:11:43,190
Do you care nothing about
what happens to me?
111
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:51,600
How can you do this?
Is this the real Choi Ung?
112
00:11:54,010 --> 00:12:02,070
Of course I care, Your Majesty.
I have commited an unforgivable
113
00:12:03,010 --> 00:12:12,470
crime of making my master
to stoop before his enemy.
114
00:12:13,850 --> 00:12:19,030
By death, I seek to undo,
if only the smallest fraction,
115
00:12:19,090 --> 00:12:23,920
the damage I have done to
your dignity. Please allow me.
116
00:12:23,930 --> 00:12:28,650
I cannot. We will
live and die together.
117
00:12:29,860 --> 00:12:34,020
Do not disappoint me like this.
We still have a lot to do.
118
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,890
If I bowed before the king
of Bekjae, you must make
119
00:12:40,190 --> 00:12:43,340
him bow before me someday.
120
00:12:45,060 --> 00:12:49,420
If you really want to die, you
will die once this is done.
121
00:12:50,330 --> 00:12:54,750
That is you real duty.
Do you disagree, Cho Ung?
122
00:12:56,310 --> 00:13:03,050
But my crime is too great.
123
00:13:04,390 --> 00:13:08,510
Only death can make up
for it, Your Majesty.
124
00:13:13,230 --> 00:13:18,650
I knowhow you feel.
But how can you leave
125
00:13:18,930 --> 00:13:23,290
when I need you just
because you don't need me?
126
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:31,510
Help me. I need you.
Promise me that you will.
127
00:13:32,710 --> 00:13:35,180
Please, Choi Ung.
128
00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:44,540
Your Majesty, your
grace is immeasurable...
129
00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:50,810
How could I continue to refuse
your such earnest request?
130
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,820
I humbly accept. But Choi
Ung's life ended today.
131
00:13:59,870 --> 00:14:03,410
My life belongs to
you henceforth.
132
00:14:03,410 --> 00:14:06,670
I will serve you with every
ounce of my devotion.
My life belongs to
you henceforth.
133
00:14:06,670 --> 00:14:06,690
My life belongs to
you henceforth.
134
00:14:07,990 --> 00:14:10,310
And I will never forget
this moment, Your Majesty.
135
00:14:12,170 --> 00:14:16,640
Thank you, Choi Ung.
Thank you.
136
00:14:18,370 --> 00:14:22,420
What is nthe royal
physician waiting for?
137
00:14:23,090 --> 00:14:24,250
This man is in bad shape.
138
00:14:24,690 --> 00:14:25,690
Yes, Your Majesty.
139
00:14:26,430 --> 00:14:31,610
General Bok, we will stay the night
and return to the palace tomorrow.
140
00:14:32,300 --> 00:14:33,150
Yes, Your Majesty.
141
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,390
Send for some warm
wine and food.
142
00:14:38,410 --> 00:14:42,130
Physician will spare nothing
to restore Choi Ung to health.
143
00:14:42,970 --> 00:14:44,210
Yes, Your Majesty.
144
00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:52,090
Choi Ung is this kingdom's
most valuable treasure.
145
00:14:53,690 --> 00:14:55,600
You are a heartless man.
146
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,190
How could you
consider leaving me?
147
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,870
I will not let you do that.
No, never.
148
00:15:45,750 --> 00:15:49,210
I rely on you heavily since
Advisor Tepyoung's death.
149
00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:53,590
Do not do this again. Do
you know alarmed I was?
150
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,360
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
151
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,490
Life is full of vacillation.
Liu Bei of antiquity once
152
00:16:03,660 --> 00:16:10,660
sought refuge under Cao Cao's
subordinate in his difficulty,
153
00:16:11,490 --> 00:16:14,630
and conversely Cao Cao, who
once had the world at his feet
154
00:16:15,270 --> 00:16:19,530
begged mercy to Liu Bei's
subordinate Guan Yu.
155
00:16:20,650 --> 00:16:22,940
Such is life.
156
00:16:23,890 --> 00:16:24,780
Yes, Your Majesty.
157
00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:29,480
I bowed before King Kyun-hwon
and sought his favor first.
158
00:16:29,950 --> 00:16:32,860
Then whose turn do you
think it will be next?
159
00:16:33,550 --> 00:16:35,520
It will be Kyun-hwon's turn.
160
00:16:36,390 --> 00:16:42,440
Yes, Your Majesty.
That day will surely come.
161
00:16:43,770 --> 00:16:48,830
Yes, it will indeed. And you,
Choi Ung, will make sure that
162
00:16:48,930 --> 00:16:55,370
I do not miss my chance
when it comes.
163
00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:58,890
We, Koryo, are at our
darkest hours right now.
164
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,650
But it is pain we must endure.
We have no choice...
165
00:17:13,570 --> 00:17:16,810
I am seeting with rage,
but I must bare it...
166
00:17:37,296 --> 00:17:39,920
Your garden is
very charming.
167
00:17:40,590 --> 00:17:43,160
It is opens up into small
surrounding mountains.
168
00:17:43,930 --> 00:17:48,180
Yes, Your Majesty.
Isn't it pleasant?
169
00:17:48,650 --> 00:17:52,570
This house is too humble for a
high official of the government.
170
00:17:53,210 --> 00:17:58,530
There are only two quarters.
171
00:17:59,690 --> 00:18:08,030
This is more than Ideserve.
All I need is room to fit a bed.
172
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,600
Life is but a span. The size
of a house matters nothing.
173
00:18:14,220 --> 00:18:17,990
Is that right? You talk as
if it is someone else's life.
174
00:18:18,410 --> 00:18:22,920
But it is nature of men to
desire honor and wealth.
175
00:18:23,610 --> 00:18:26,440
In that respect you are
too simple and unambitious.
176
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:28,900
Not so, Your Majesty.
177
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:35,260
I do want to see you realize the
unification of Three Kingdoms.
178
00:18:36,370 --> 00:18:39,050
Isn't that the biggest
ambition of all?
179
00:18:40,140 --> 00:18:41,210
Yes, that is true.
180
00:18:42,310 --> 00:18:51,220
Thank you. Spending the
night here has refreshed me.
181
00:18:53,010 --> 00:18:57,950
The palace is not the
most comfortable place.
182
00:18:58,990 --> 00:19:02,600
A mountain of anxieties
always awaits me there.
183
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,240
I will visit often.
184
00:19:07,460 --> 00:19:15,580
But this humble place of a
servant is unfit for your visit.
185
00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:21,780
This visit alone is
an unspeakable honor.
186
00:19:23,110 --> 00:19:31,390
My descendents will remember
this day for generations.
187
00:19:31,890 --> 00:19:38,490
Founding a New Kingdom is
sometimes called a Grand
188
00:19:38,993 --> 00:19:42,700
Enterprise. An Enterprise is
a group of people working
189
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,870
together for a common goal.
190
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,100
My descendents will remember
you for generations as well.
191
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:58,380
Let us work together,
Choi Ung.
192
00:20:01,530 --> 00:20:03,970
Your grace is truly
immeasurable.
193
00:20:05,570 --> 00:20:13,620
I vow to devote my life to
your service, Your Majesty.
194
00:20:14,830 --> 00:20:15,640
Thank you.
195
00:20:32,700 --> 00:20:35,470
Your Majesty, we are ready
to return to the palace.
196
00:20:36,260 --> 00:20:37,340
Then we shall go.
197
00:20:38,730 --> 00:20:42,890
I will expect you at court
tomorrow for the bestowal
198
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:48,740
of the seal. And you will be
briefed on your duties as well.
199
00:20:49,620 --> 00:20:53,640
Yes, Your Majesty.
Until then -
200
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,780
Yes. Let us go,
General Bok.
201
00:21:00,130 --> 00:21:01,010
Yes, Your Majesty.
202
00:21:02,930 --> 00:21:05,920
Prepare for departure!
203
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,100
Prepare for departure!
204
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,660
How could this be
Imperial Guardian?
205
00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:53,210
Koryo has lost direction and
begun to sink and nothing is
206
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:54,950
being done!
207
00:21:55,370 --> 00:22:01,630
Whatever do you mean?
All we have done is suspend
208
00:22:01,670 --> 00:22:10,420
the cabonet meetings for a while.
You are overreacting, General.
209
00:22:10,940 --> 00:22:15,120
Our warriors are occupying their
time reading and playing chess in
210
00:22:15,340 --> 00:22:18,510
their dens! This is ridiculous!
Do you realize the extent of
211
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,760
damage the defeat in
Jomul Fort has caused?
212
00:22:25,630 --> 00:22:28,100
I have read the reports.
213
00:22:29,180 --> 00:22:33,040
But His Majesty conducts
the state affairs.
214
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,430
But it is our duty to
inform His Majesty of his
215
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,630
miscomprehension or oversight.
This is no time for silence.
216
00:22:41,570 --> 00:22:47,080
We must mobilize our
troops and strike Bekjae.
217
00:22:48,210 --> 00:22:53,800
The warriors are angry and
frustrated, Imperial Guardian.
218
00:22:53,950 --> 00:22:55,380
Please request His
Majesty for an assembly.
219
00:22:55,890 --> 00:22:59,640
We must discuss
military action.
220
00:23:00,450 --> 00:23:05,570
Our second commanders
and soldiers are all puzzled.
221
00:23:06,120 --> 00:23:09,590
They wonder what happened
in Jomul Fort to cause Koryo
222
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,030
to dwindle without a whimper.
223
00:23:14,020 --> 00:23:16,320
Imperial Guardian,
please convey our
224
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,770
unanimous opinions
to His Majesty.
225
00:23:20,430 --> 00:23:23,960
But His Majesty's
orders were...
226
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,860
We can't go on like this.
The kingdom is in danger.
227
00:23:28,410 --> 00:23:30,630
We are putting ourselves
in vulnerable situation by
228
00:23:30,970 --> 00:23:37,370
doing nothing! If His Majesty
refuses to see us, we must
229
00:23:37,740 --> 00:23:40,740
discuss this among ourselves.
230
00:23:41,410 --> 00:23:47,290
Yes, Imperial Guardian. We could
lose both Shilla and our kingdom.
231
00:23:48,110 --> 00:23:50,870
Please wath your words!
Lose our kingdom?
232
00:23:51,090 --> 00:23:53,250
This is a crisis,
Imperial Guardian.
233
00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:59,810
The kingdom is in danger.
Don't you understand?
234
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:06,890
Fine, I understand.
Let us first submit petitions
235
00:24:07,700 --> 00:24:14,130
to His Majesty about
this individually.
236
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,910
Only then we will
request an assembly.
237
00:24:20,550 --> 00:24:25,810
Many of us have already
submitted petitions before
238
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,950
we came to you.
239
00:24:29,130 --> 00:24:34,200
We need you to get involded,
Imperial Guardian.
240
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:43,940
Oh, dear... All right, then
I will call a meeting in the
241
00:24:44,670 --> 00:24:48,380
name of the supreme Council.
242
00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:58,960
The warriors are at the Supreme
Council Chambers, you say?
243
00:24:59,420 --> 00:25:00,980
Yes, Your Majesty.
244
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,590
Why?
245
00:25:03,330 --> 00:25:06,830
To discuss the same topics
that are in these petitions.
246
00:25:08,210 --> 00:25:09,150
Have you seen them?
247
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:10,970
Yes, I have seen your
petitions as well.
248
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:15,240
The warriors' complaints
are well founded.
249
00:25:15,870 --> 00:25:20,140
They say that our military has
cringed too much by one defeat.
250
00:25:20,890 --> 00:25:25,300
We must remobilize the troops
and go forward, Your Majesty.
251
00:25:39,170 --> 00:25:46,470
Please discuss this with the new
Minister of Military Choi Ung.
252
00:25:48,140 --> 00:25:48,950
Well...
253
00:25:49,530 --> 00:25:52,580
Your Majesty,
all of us are puzzled.
254
00:25:54,900 --> 00:25:56,710
Why do you hesitate to
order military action?
255
00:25:58,630 --> 00:26:01,720
Why? Why, you ask?
256
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,260
Yes. We are all frustrated.
257
00:26:05,360 --> 00:26:07,000
A covenant betweentwo
nations must be kept.
258
00:26:07,740 --> 00:26:10,330
It is Shilla attack,
not us.
259
00:26:11,500 --> 00:26:17,620
Shilla is our ally. We lose their
trust by turning a blind eye.
260
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,740
We had depleted all of our
strength when we returned
261
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:24,630
from Jomul Fort. We were
bruised and battered.
262
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,400
We need to recoup before
anything can be done.
263
00:26:29,770 --> 00:26:33,170
The timing isn't right.
We require more rest.
264
00:26:33,950 --> 00:26:36,660
It will be too late when
Bekjae has gobbled up Shilla.
265
00:26:37,350 --> 00:26:40,940
They will come at us
with added strength.
266
00:26:42,140 --> 00:26:48,200
Perhaps, but they will be
tired after an extended fight.
267
00:26:48,930 --> 00:26:52,350
We will strengthen our
military while Bkejae exhausts.
268
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:53,460
theirs on Shilla.
269
00:26:54,530 --> 00:26:59,610
But our troops' morale
will hit bottom.
270
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:01,640
We urge you to
take action now.
271
00:27:01,690 --> 00:27:06,270
This is not the time, I said.
Let's say you are right about
272
00:27:07,010 --> 00:27:09,770
everything. What will happen
to my Cousin Shin who is in
273
00:27:10,500 --> 00:27:14,780
Bekjae as a pawn?
Have you considered this?
274
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:28,830
No one gave a thought about
him. I don't expect you to.
275
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:33,310
But I still cannot sleep at
night when I think about him.
276
00:27:34,740 --> 00:27:40,600
We have Jin Ho, the pawn from
Bekjae. They would would not harm Shin.
277
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,200
No, you can't be certain.
278
00:27:44,860 --> 00:27:50,150
Let us wait and see. Bekjae
has not attacked us, and
279
00:27:50,830 --> 00:27:54,650
we are in no hurry.
Take this opportunity to rest.
280
00:28:11,890 --> 00:28:15,050
I am starting to get
the picture, Brother.
281
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,010
The picture?
282
00:28:16,890 --> 00:28:21,380
The heart of the problem is
the pawn, His majesty's cousin
283
00:28:21,930 --> 00:28:28,550
Wang Shin who is in Bekjae.
His Majesty adored him.
284
00:28:29,030 --> 00:28:36,230
You might be right. But we have
a pawn from Bekjae as well.
285
00:28:37,180 --> 00:28:39,450
They are both equally
important to their kings.
286
00:28:42,490 --> 00:28:44,180
Where is that pawn anyway?
287
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,390
His Majesty put him in the
care of Sir Wang Shin's older
288
00:28:49,610 --> 00:28:56,590
brother Wang Shikryum
to ensure his safety.
289
00:28:57,860 --> 00:29:01,780
We should discuss this with
Sir Choi Ung when he returns
290
00:29:02,090 --> 00:29:06,180
to the court. he is the head
of the military after all.
291
00:29:06,660 --> 00:29:13,280
Let us do that. If indeed Wang
Shin is the reason for His
292
00:29:13,990 --> 00:29:18,740
Majesty's hesitance,
this is a major problem.
293
00:29:20,050 --> 00:29:23,550
Let us see the result of
the meeting tomorrow.
294
00:29:45,610 --> 00:29:49,660
Farewell, Your Majesty.
295
00:29:50,850 --> 00:29:54,950
Cousin Shin, I promise you,
we will see each other again.
296
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,250
Take care of yourself.
297
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:02,470
Yes, Your Majesty.
298
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:27,490
The Supreme Council has called
a meeting upon urgings of many
299
00:30:28,690 --> 00:30:35,890
despite His Majesty's orders
for a temporary rest.
300
00:30:36,980 --> 00:30:39,260
The floor is open
for discussion.
301
00:30:40,610 --> 00:30:47,400
We are here to talk about the
rapidly declining morale of
302
00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:51,630
our military after the
defeat of Jomul Fort.
303
00:30:53,350 --> 00:30:56,800
What is your opinion,
Minister of Military?
304
00:30:57,330 --> 00:31:01,220
The warriors see this national
silence as critical danger.
305
00:31:06,010 --> 00:31:09,420
He returned today
after days of infirmity.
306
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:11,420
What could he possibly
say right this minute?
307
00:31:12,260 --> 00:31:15,680
We all know why youwere ill.
308
00:31:17,100 --> 00:31:23,470
and this meeting is to
rectify its cause.
309
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:31,690
His Majesty's orders are divine
laws. And our duty is to obey.
310
00:31:32,690 --> 00:31:37,120
No one here needs to be
reminded of his duty.
311
00:31:38,050 --> 00:31:43,360
It is time to fight. And we are
frustrated because we can't!
312
00:31:44,870 --> 00:31:52,140
It is the Imperial command.
To question it is wrong.
313
00:31:52,310 --> 00:31:58,240
But it is our duty to,point
out our master's oversights.
314
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,480
and mistakes. What do you
think is more constructive?
315
00:32:08,150 --> 00:32:14,720
Both of you are right.
But what is most frustrating is
316
00:32:15,350 --> 00:32:19,570
that none of us knows what
is on His Majesty's mind.
317
00:32:20,270 --> 00:32:24,130
That is a good
point and I agree.
318
00:32:29,140 --> 00:32:32,750
Whatever that may be, we all
agree that we cannot go on
319
00:32:32,910 --> 00:32:37,210
like this and that we
must fight. Correct?
320
00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:41,040
Yes, we must fight!
321
00:32:41,060 --> 00:32:46,440
Imperial Guardian, you must
convey our thoughts to His
322
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,520
Majesty. Our desire is to pay
Bekjae back for the humiliation
323
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,450
we suffered at JomulFort.
This is a state affair.
324
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:02,800
If His Majesty continues
to refuse, we will have
325
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,520
to resort to a sit-in.
Do you agree?
326
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:09,270
Aye!
327
00:33:14,270 --> 00:33:15,590
Oh, dear...
328
00:33:17,130 --> 00:33:21,370
We have never before
disobeyed His Majesty.
329
00:33:21,790 --> 00:33:25,380
But this is to
save the kingdom.
330
00:33:26,790 --> 00:33:30,520
Imperial Guardian,
we will allow three days.
331
00:33:30,830 --> 00:33:32,180
Please appeal toHis Majesty.
332
00:33:33,090 --> 00:33:36,180
Then all of us will hunker down
in front of the Imperial Chambers
333
00:33:36,390 --> 00:33:38,180
and refuse to move until
we have the reply we seek.
334
00:33:39,940 --> 00:33:43,220
Oh, dear...
335
00:33:57,390 --> 00:33:59,730
A sit-in at the
Imperial Chambers?
336
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:12,460
Your Majesty, the Three Kingdoms
are in contention for the mastery.
337
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:19,180
The warriors' request for action
is dutiful and appropriate.
338
00:34:20,270 --> 00:34:24,770
They seek to restore your dignity.
Grant their request to fight.
339
00:34:25,610 --> 00:34:30,440
They wish to break Bekjae
and glorify their country.
340
00:34:33,950 --> 00:34:36,460
Your Majesty, allow them
to take military action.
341
00:34:37,110 --> 00:34:44,490
The plague has subsided and
the morale of the troops is high.
342
00:34:44,910 --> 00:34:47,020
Allow them to strike Bekjae.
343
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:49,420
Your Majesty.
344
00:35:07,130 --> 00:35:14,250
I've been thinking and
you are right.
345
00:35:16,660 --> 00:35:20,830
They've come to me and
offered their kingdom.
346
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,930
This means we can acquire
Shilla without great effort.
347
00:35:27,370 --> 00:35:29,590
It's an opportunity
that can't be missed.
348
00:35:30,950 --> 00:35:34,990
Unification is inevitable.
349
00:35:36,380 --> 00:35:40,560
Koryo held real power
over Shilla thus far.
350
00:35:40,870 --> 00:35:43,790
They called it an alliance, but
Shilla had behaved more like
351
00:35:44,170 --> 00:35:46,110
a subject state.
352
00:35:47,530 --> 00:35:49,450
Yes, that is true.
353
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:55,880
But things have changed.
We defeated Koryo and its
354
00:35:56,340 --> 00:36:00,460
king became Your Majesty's
younger brother. And now they
355
00:36:00,890 --> 00:36:06,360
watch submissively as we
proceed with our plans.
356
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:17,950
Yes, that's right. I must say King
Wang Guhn is somewhat naive.
357
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,940
Yes, Your Majesty.
358
00:36:20,910 --> 00:36:28,480
Koryo's crushing defeat against
us in Jomul has Shilla worried.
359
00:36:29,210 --> 00:36:32,170
And internal conflict between
the Park clan and the Royal
360
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,090
Kim clan is deepening. I urge
you to advance to Surabul.
361
00:36:36,810 --> 00:36:40,540
And? Subjugate
the entire state?
362
00:36:41,220 --> 00:36:43,530
That won't be so esy.
363
00:36:44,670 --> 00:36:45,070
Then what?
364
00:36:45,410 --> 00:36:51,510
Give it sole time. Koryo will
not remain reticent for long.
365
00:36:51,910 --> 00:36:55,760
And our path to Surabul is
full of obstacles and
366
00:36:55,970 --> 00:36:59,250
require time and effort.
367
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:02,150
Of course.
368
00:37:02,750 --> 00:37:09,340
But to seize-control of Shilla's
thousand-year-old administration
369
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,540
is a significant
accomplishment.
370
00:37:13,300 --> 00:37:18,930
It will put you clearly on top
in the contention for mastery.
371
00:37:19,220 --> 00:37:27,170
It will indeed. The mere thought
of it fills me with inspiration.
372
00:37:28,090 --> 00:37:34,410
Pave a safe path to Surabul
while keeping Koryo in check.
373
00:37:34,860 --> 00:37:43,640
Once you are there, you will
cause Shilla to kneel before
374
00:37:43,890 --> 00:37:46,580
you on their own accord.
375
00:37:47,210 --> 00:37:53,250
Going to Surabul is a right
decision, Your Majesty.
376
00:37:53,450 --> 00:37:59,750
I am quite anxious. When
will this endeavor begin?
377
00:38:00,110 --> 00:38:03,600
It will take up to
one year of preparation.
378
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,340
That long?
379
00:38:07,230 --> 00:38:10,870
It isn't long considering that
this is a leveling of a regime
380
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,000
that withstood a
thousant years.
381
00:38:15,073 --> 00:38:18,690
That is true. Fine.
382
00:38:19,790 --> 00:38:23,680
Continue secret communication
with our allies in Shilla and
383
00:38:25,180 --> 00:38:27,560
turn their court upside down.
384
00:38:27,580 --> 00:38:30,650
The current king of Shilla
needs to be taught a lesson
385
00:38:30,700 --> 00:38:33,280
for underestimating Bekjae.
386
00:38:35,810 --> 00:38:39,500
Yes, we will show himthat
Bekjae is stronger than Koryo.
387
00:38:40,330 --> 00:38:43,970
Proceed with the plans
to approach Surabul.
388
00:38:44,630 --> 00:38:45,540
Yes, Your Majesty.
389
00:38:46,190 --> 00:38:51,030
And tell my sons in Guh-
chang to stop their advance.
390
00:38:51,730 --> 00:38:54,020
There's no need to
provoke Koryo further.
391
00:38:55,300 --> 00:38:59,880
We will rest for a while and
observe the developments.
392
00:39:00,890 --> 00:39:07,450
Yes. There is no need to
exert hostile force.
393
00:39:07,770 --> 00:39:13,440
As I have said, Koryo will not
remain quiet much longer.
394
00:39:13,830 --> 00:39:16,180
We must be
prepared for them.
395
00:39:31,030 --> 00:39:33,510
Does Bekjae's pawn
Jin Ho fare well?
396
00:39:34,180 --> 00:39:39,260
Yes, Your Majesty. He is under
good care and close watch.
397
00:39:39,950 --> 00:39:44,930
I put him in your care because
of Shin whom I've sent to Bekjae.
398
00:39:45,830 --> 00:39:51,420
Jin Ho must be safe in order
for Cousin Shin to be safe.
399
00:39:52,010 --> 00:39:53,580
Yes, Your Majesty.
400
00:39:53,810 --> 00:39:56,590
You and Shin are
my dearest cousins.
401
00:39:57,350 --> 00:39:59,560
I will make certain
nothing happens to Shin.
402
00:40:00,070 --> 00:40:00,830
Yes, Your Majesty.
403
00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:05,190
The subjects are making
a lot of noise. I have a pile of
404
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:10,560
petitions from them.
They pressured the Imperial
405
00:40:10,610 --> 00:40:16,810
Guardian for a meeting
and threatened a sit-in.
406
00:40:17,460 --> 00:40:24,560
I know. And I also know why
you cannot give them the
407
00:40:25,300 --> 00:40:30,040
answer they seek. it is
because of my brother Shim.
408
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:36,130
What do I do?
I am at a loss.
409
00:40:37,230 --> 00:40:42,360
I don't know what to say...
It tears me apart when I
410
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,130
think about your deep
concern for my brother and I.
411
00:40:46,550 --> 00:40:52,070
No, I am very sorry that
I left your brother in
412
00:40:52,110 --> 00:40:57,390
the hands of the enemy.
I have no excuse...
413
00:40:57,620 --> 00:40:59,160
No, Your Majesty.
414
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:05,350
It is a blessing that Shin
can serve the country.
415
00:41:07,090 --> 00:41:09,540
Please do not be
overly distressed.
416
00:41:10,690 --> 00:41:17,830
I appreciate that. Take well
care of the pawn from Bekjae.
417
00:41:18,330 --> 00:41:18,990
Yes, Your Majesty.
418
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,800
He was uneasy at first, but
he is slowly settling down.
419
00:41:25,210 --> 00:41:30,210
Good. Be good to him.
The man has done no wrong.
420
00:41:30,940 --> 00:41:34,260
Yes, Your Majesty. I have
ordered my servants to do so.
421
00:41:35,240 --> 00:41:36,060
Good...
422
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,990
What brings you here at
this time of the night?
423
00:42:14,890 --> 00:42:17,810
We'd like to discuss
something with you.
424
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:19,730
By all means.
425
00:42:20,750 --> 00:42:28,250
Sir Choi, you was silent at the
Supreme Council meeting. Why?
426
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:35,080
Choi Jimong made a comment
that no one knows what is on
427
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:39,950
His Majesty's mind.
428
00:42:40,410 --> 00:42:41,810
Yes, he did.
429
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,400
But we think Wang Shin is
the reason for His Majesty's
430
00:42:47,610 --> 00:42:52,650
indecision. Are we wrong?
431
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,500
You are correct.
432
00:42:55,770 --> 00:42:59,650
That is why I could not say
anything at the meeting.
433
00:43:00,890 --> 00:43:05,160
But you are the
head of our military.
434
00:43:06,570 --> 00:43:09,770
You must find a solution to
break this dangerous impasse.
435
00:43:10,550 --> 00:43:12,220
There is a solution.
436
00:43:13,620 --> 00:43:16,450
There is?
Is there really a solution?
437
00:43:17,550 --> 00:43:20,480
The issues of the hostages lay
before us as a huge obstacle.
438
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:26,110
What is the solution?
439
00:43:27,240 --> 00:43:29,390
I am embarrassed to speak
when you complicate such
440
00:43:30,130 --> 00:43:32,230
a simple issue.
441
00:43:34,340 --> 00:43:37,520
Simple? How is this simple?
442
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:42,770
Eveyone agrees that it is
time for military action.
443
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:43,510
Yes.
444
00:43:43,780 --> 00:43:47,010
But His Majesty is hesitant.
445
00:43:47,110 --> 00:43:49,240
That is why we are here.
446
00:43:50,060 --> 00:43:54,440
It will require death of one
man for His Majesty to act.
447
00:43:56,490 --> 00:44:05,420
Death of one man?
Whose is this man?
448
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,740
Sir Wang Shin.
449
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:12,150
What?
450
00:44:17,930 --> 00:44:22,690
Thousands sacrifice their
lives on the battlefield.
451
00:44:24,050 --> 00:44:26,520
But right now, that one man's
death can break the shackle
452
00:44:27,170 --> 00:44:29,480
that paralyzes this kingdom.
453
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:35,870
I do understand, but what
can we to Wang Shin
454
00:44:35,970 --> 00:44:38,450
who is now in Bekjae?
455
00:44:39,340 --> 00:44:42,500
Kill the pawn of
Shilla Jin Ho.
456
00:44:43,580 --> 00:44:47,330
Then Sir Wang Shin will
lose his life as well.
457
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:55,120
Kill the pawn of Shilla?
458
00:44:56,200 --> 00:45:01,960
Yes. Our compassionate
Emperor will not take
459
00:45:02,230 --> 00:45:07,590
military action until
this is resolved.
460
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,120
It has to be done.
The sooner the better.
461
00:45:11,250 --> 00:45:12,860
Can you do it?
462
00:45:14,180 --> 00:45:18,710
Can you take the life of His
Majesty's cousin Sir Wang Shin?
