Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:06,705 --> 00:00:09,064
Your Majesty, Lord No asserts...
2
00:00:09,065 --> 00:00:12,033
that it is proper to lock up the censor.
3
00:00:12,034 --> 00:00:14,603
It is insubordination and
treason against Your Majesty.
4
00:00:14,604 --> 00:00:17,234
Please interrogate Lord No!
5
00:00:18,104 --> 00:00:21,734
Your Majesty. Please interrogate Lord No!
6
00:00:22,404 --> 00:00:26,464
Your Majesty. Please interrogate Lord No!
7
00:00:26,634 --> 00:00:31,104
Your Majesty. Please interrogate Lord No!
8
00:00:31,634 --> 00:00:34,804
We wish to chew on Lord No's flesh!
9
00:00:35,004 --> 00:00:39,434
He must be killed for the
nation to receive blessings!
10
00:00:40,734 --> 00:00:43,134
They curse No Sa Shin,
11
00:00:44,334 --> 00:00:46,564
but it is my flesh they want to chew on.
12
00:00:48,704 --> 00:00:51,034
I am the one they wish to kill.
13
00:01:00,834 --> 00:01:02,234
Gil Dong.
14
00:01:04,004 --> 00:01:08,034
What is there that would anger the King?
15
00:01:10,964 --> 00:01:14,234
Make the flames stronger. Stronger.
16
00:01:15,904 --> 00:01:20,574
What would anger the King?
17
00:01:28,204 --> 00:01:29,463
The King's rage.
18
00:01:29,464 --> 00:01:34,404
(The rage of the King)
19
00:01:34,504 --> 00:01:36,263
(Hong)
20
00:01:36,264 --> 00:01:40,304
(The Rebel)
21
00:01:41,604 --> 00:01:42,964
(Episode 12)
22
00:01:51,034 --> 00:01:53,564
You must know many stories
from the outside world.
23
00:01:55,004 --> 00:01:56,804
Tell me about the outside world.
24
00:01:57,804 --> 00:01:59,834
What do the subjects...
25
00:02:00,364 --> 00:02:02,004
say about me?
26
00:02:02,764 --> 00:02:04,364
Tell me.
27
00:02:05,634 --> 00:02:06,664
All right.
28
00:02:10,634 --> 00:02:11,904
Let me see.
29
00:02:13,634 --> 00:02:16,564
All right. You tell me first.
30
00:02:20,634 --> 00:02:21,834
Yes, Your Majesty.
31
00:02:23,864 --> 00:02:25,534
Naturally,
32
00:02:26,474 --> 00:02:31,434
they all praise and respect
you, Your Majesty.
33
00:02:35,104 --> 00:02:37,534
You can say anything to me,
34
00:02:39,364 --> 00:02:41,864
but you should never lie.
35
00:02:42,334 --> 00:02:44,634
I will dislike those...
36
00:02:45,404 --> 00:02:46,764
who lie to me.
37
00:02:52,964 --> 00:02:54,034
All right.
38
00:02:54,834 --> 00:02:56,164
What do you think?
39
00:03:01,204 --> 00:03:02,364
Well...
40
00:03:04,464 --> 00:03:05,864
Your Majesty...
41
00:03:09,634 --> 00:03:11,334
Please kill me, Your Majesty.
42
00:03:16,664 --> 00:03:17,834
I have heard people say...
43
00:03:19,134 --> 00:03:23,734
that His Majesty must
be hiding something...
44
00:03:24,734 --> 00:03:28,164
inside the palace as he
has imposed a curfew...
45
00:03:28,664 --> 00:03:30,764
at the North entrance of
Changdeokgung Palace.
46
00:03:35,934 --> 00:03:39,564
- And?
- I have heard rumors that...
47
00:03:41,134 --> 00:03:44,864
His Majesty has secretly watched the
mating of horses in the garden.
48
00:03:45,464 --> 00:03:49,333
And as His Majesty has brought
10 foxes to the palace...
49
00:03:49,334 --> 00:03:50,534
How dare you say these things?
50
00:03:56,904 --> 00:03:58,004
I...
51
00:03:59,634 --> 00:04:01,034
can promise you...
52
00:04:02,804 --> 00:04:04,464
that I will never,
53
00:04:07,804 --> 00:04:08,904
ever...
54
00:04:10,304 --> 00:04:12,864
lie to His Majesty.
55
00:04:19,274 --> 00:04:20,964
I do not know the details,
56
00:04:24,104 --> 00:04:26,234
but His Majesty is not
in a good mood recently.
57
00:04:26,834 --> 00:04:28,564
According to Han Duk,
58
00:04:28,734 --> 00:04:33,364
the King does not feel good
about the scholars' appeals.
59
00:04:34,364 --> 00:04:38,003
That is why the King keeps
watching fire in the back garden.
60
00:04:38,004 --> 00:04:40,304
He does not even go hunting,
his favorite activity.
61
00:04:41,364 --> 00:04:44,704
Right. I heard from the
performers of Jangakwon...
62
00:04:45,604 --> 00:04:49,303
that recently, he got so angry at them...
63
00:04:49,304 --> 00:04:50,964
and did not even listen to their songs.
64
00:04:58,274 --> 00:04:59,504
What do you think?
65
00:05:01,164 --> 00:05:04,934
Officer Kang told us that the King
does not smile nor get angry often.
66
00:05:06,564 --> 00:05:10,564
However, it is strange that he would
get angry at Jangakwon performers...
67
00:05:10,664 --> 00:05:11,834
whom he valued so much.
68
00:05:15,634 --> 00:05:18,333
Find out more of the rumors
that are floating around.
69
00:05:18,334 --> 00:05:19,434
And...
70
00:05:20,064 --> 00:05:22,964
you have to tell me everything
you hear truthfully.
71
00:05:24,464 --> 00:05:26,534
Eunuchs and court ladies are too scared...
72
00:05:26,864 --> 00:05:29,504
to tell me the truth.
73
00:05:32,204 --> 00:05:33,734
Can you do that?
74
00:05:34,504 --> 00:05:35,664
Your Majesty,
75
00:05:37,564 --> 00:05:39,064
the fact that I am...
76
00:05:40,234 --> 00:05:42,504
telling His Majesty only the truth...
77
00:05:44,164 --> 00:05:46,064
means I am risking my life.
78
00:05:47,304 --> 00:05:50,564
However, I will do so willingly.
79
00:05:51,904 --> 00:05:56,004
In turn, if I do my job well,
80
00:05:58,204 --> 00:06:00,864
would it be possible for
me to get a little prize?
81
00:06:01,404 --> 00:06:02,604
A prize?
82
00:06:03,204 --> 00:06:06,204
- Is there something you want?
- Yes, Your Majesty.
83
00:06:08,904 --> 00:06:11,034
I have...
84
00:06:19,234 --> 00:06:21,734
someone I would like to meet.
85
00:06:26,504 --> 00:06:28,864
Is it different this time?
86
00:06:29,034 --> 00:06:31,164
Is it different from last time?
87
00:06:31,264 --> 00:06:33,734
I made a mistake last time.
88
00:06:34,334 --> 00:06:36,564
You do not need to commit
a crime to be punished.
89
00:06:37,334 --> 00:06:40,834
You need only infuriate the King to be so.
90
00:06:43,364 --> 00:06:44,404
Brothers,
91
00:06:44,904 --> 00:06:47,304
let us find out why the King is angry...
92
00:06:48,034 --> 00:06:49,194
and make Prince Choong Won...
93
00:06:49,764 --> 00:06:50,834
get involved in it.
94
00:06:51,334 --> 00:06:54,434
We must find out the reason why.
95
00:07:26,304 --> 00:07:28,033
I heard that Shim Yoo...
96
00:07:28,034 --> 00:07:30,263
killed one of the cows.
97
00:07:30,264 --> 00:07:31,804
That is just wrong.
98
00:07:32,864 --> 00:07:35,133
Do not dare pretend not to know me.
99
00:07:35,134 --> 00:07:36,504
I will punch out your teeth.
100
00:07:36,904 --> 00:07:39,763
- Especially you, So Chool.
- I am So Chool.
101
00:07:39,764 --> 00:07:41,333
What?
102
00:07:41,334 --> 00:07:42,463
You, Man Su.
103
00:07:42,464 --> 00:07:43,833
- This is Man Su.
- Him.
104
00:07:43,834 --> 00:07:47,404
Hand these out to your usual contacts.
105
00:07:47,804 --> 00:07:49,434
Do not worry.
106
00:07:56,404 --> 00:07:58,833
His Majesty brought in female entertainers.
107
00:07:58,834 --> 00:08:01,263
He had them sing and dance
during the mourning period.
108
00:08:01,264 --> 00:08:04,734
He also enjoys women's company.
It runs in the family.
109
00:08:05,464 --> 00:08:09,003
King Sungjong had as many as 29 offspring.
110
00:08:09,004 --> 00:08:11,003
I heard that King Sejo...
111
00:08:11,004 --> 00:08:14,204
tried to violate one of his
son's royal concubines.
112
00:08:14,504 --> 00:08:16,233
That is not all.
113
00:08:16,234 --> 00:08:19,733
I even heard a rumor that he
threw Prince No San's body...
114
00:08:19,734 --> 00:08:21,534
deep in a mountain.
115
00:08:25,034 --> 00:08:26,634
King Sejo...
116
00:08:27,904 --> 00:08:29,834
left Prince No San's body...
117
00:08:31,034 --> 00:08:33,634
out in the open for wildlife to feast upon.
118
00:08:34,064 --> 00:08:36,264
Also, King Sejo...
119
00:08:36,534 --> 00:08:40,374
approached Kwon and Yoon,
his son's royal concubines,
120
00:08:42,064 --> 00:08:44,374
- and tried to violate...
- That is enough.
121
00:08:56,634 --> 00:08:58,234
I see.
122
00:08:59,204 --> 00:09:01,434
The whole world knew.
123
00:09:01,964 --> 00:09:03,303
The whole world...
124
00:09:03,304 --> 00:09:06,134
has heard rumors of King Sejo.
125
00:09:07,734 --> 00:09:09,234
I thought that...
126
00:09:09,834 --> 00:09:12,374
only people within the
palace talked about it.
127
00:09:13,704 --> 00:09:16,873
With such terrible rumors
circulating among the public,
128
00:09:16,874 --> 00:09:18,703
it is no wonder that...
129
00:09:18,704 --> 00:09:21,964
the officials and scholars
do not take me seriously.
130
00:09:22,734 --> 00:09:26,103
They speak so terribly of King Sejo.
131
00:09:26,104 --> 00:09:27,964
As his grandson,
132
00:09:28,904 --> 00:09:31,204
they think I am no one to fear.
133
00:09:31,804 --> 00:09:33,204
I think...
134
00:09:34,934 --> 00:09:37,603
this is an issue that I must not...
135
00:09:37,604 --> 00:09:39,104
take lightly.
136
00:09:39,464 --> 00:09:41,373
Your Majesty.
137
00:09:41,374 --> 00:09:44,503
I will bring in all those
who repeated the rumors.
138
00:09:44,504 --> 00:09:45,834
No.
139
00:09:46,904 --> 00:09:50,164
How can you lock up rumors
that spread like the wind?
140
00:09:50,904 --> 00:09:52,264
However,
141
00:09:54,264 --> 00:09:56,934
if those rumors exist in text form,
142
00:09:59,834 --> 00:10:01,304
that is different.
143
00:10:02,064 --> 00:10:04,433
People in possession of
records of such rumors...
144
00:10:04,434 --> 00:10:05,904
can be held accountable.
145
00:10:06,734 --> 00:10:08,304
I can punish them.
146
00:10:09,434 --> 00:10:12,963
Who records and preserves
the records of the king?
147
00:10:12,964 --> 00:10:14,504
There are officials...
148
00:10:15,704 --> 00:10:18,303
who record what they saw and heard about...
149
00:10:18,304 --> 00:10:19,834
each king they serve.
150
00:10:20,134 --> 00:10:23,704
Sometimes, they even
record rumors they hear.
151
00:10:24,004 --> 00:10:27,403
You gave a pass to Park Ha
Sung in the state exam.
152
00:10:27,404 --> 00:10:30,134
He is now such an official.
153
00:10:43,004 --> 00:10:46,433
Many years ago, Prince No
San gave up the throne.
154
00:10:46,434 --> 00:10:48,804
It was because he recognized talent.
155
00:10:49,164 --> 00:10:52,733
King Sejo was unable to
refuse to take the throne...
156
00:10:52,734 --> 00:10:55,264
because he was bound by
loyalty towards his master.
157
00:10:55,704 --> 00:10:57,463
How virtuous would...
158
00:10:57,464 --> 00:10:59,734
such a relationship be?
159
00:11:02,864 --> 00:11:04,234
Park Ha Sung.
160
00:11:06,864 --> 00:11:08,604
Look up.
161
00:11:32,464 --> 00:11:35,533
Keep these beads around
your waist at all times.
162
00:11:35,534 --> 00:11:37,733
Each time you hear them click,
163
00:11:37,734 --> 00:11:39,633
remember that they are...
164
00:11:39,634 --> 00:11:42,004
a reminder that you must
conduct yourself well.
165
00:11:49,904 --> 00:11:51,134
Mother.
166
00:11:51,604 --> 00:11:54,104
People will look at me
whenever they hear that.
167
00:11:55,004 --> 00:11:57,904
Yes. You are right.
168
00:11:59,004 --> 00:12:00,933
But you must never forget...
169
00:12:00,934 --> 00:12:03,904
the reason your teacher
gave you these beads.
170
00:12:04,734 --> 00:12:07,133
You got a place in Yemunkwan...
171
00:12:07,134 --> 00:12:09,633
because your teacher asked for a favor.
172
00:12:09,634 --> 00:12:11,934
Do not forget what he did for you.
173
00:12:12,404 --> 00:12:14,404
Why do I owe that to my teacher?
174
00:12:14,964 --> 00:12:17,633
I got the position because
I befriended people...
175
00:12:17,634 --> 00:12:19,304
in the other offices.
176
00:12:20,734 --> 00:12:22,764
I heard your friend, Park Ha Sung,
177
00:12:23,464 --> 00:12:26,634
is rising up the ranks very quickly.
178
00:12:27,004 --> 00:12:29,333
It would be of no harm to befriend him.
179
00:12:29,334 --> 00:12:32,103
Bring him home one day.
180
00:12:32,104 --> 00:12:34,634
- Yes, Mother.
- So...
181
00:12:35,334 --> 00:12:37,034
Did His Majesty...
182
00:12:37,834 --> 00:12:41,533
ever mention his mother,
the dethroned queen?
183
00:12:41,534 --> 00:12:44,563
There was a lot of debate
last year about giving her...
184
00:12:44,564 --> 00:12:45,864
a posthumous title,
185
00:12:46,234 --> 00:12:48,703
but he has not mentioned her recently.
186
00:12:48,704 --> 00:12:51,704
So many officials opposed and
even resigned over the issue.
187
00:12:52,204 --> 00:12:53,333
Maybe he gave up.
188
00:12:53,334 --> 00:12:55,404
What is wrong with the officials?
189
00:12:56,804 --> 00:13:00,203
I hope the dethroned queen
is reinstated soon.
190
00:13:00,204 --> 00:13:01,364
Pardon?
191
00:13:02,104 --> 00:13:04,734
Never mind. You should go.
192
00:13:26,264 --> 00:13:28,534
The dethroned queen's son...
193
00:13:28,964 --> 00:13:31,533
is now on the throne.
194
00:13:31,534 --> 00:13:34,964
If only I had in my possession a
letter written in her hand...
195
00:13:36,204 --> 00:13:38,564
That would be so useful.
196
00:13:41,404 --> 00:13:44,534
This battle will never end.
197
00:13:44,904 --> 00:13:47,263
That is because Lord Jo's wife...
198
00:13:47,264 --> 00:13:50,064
is acquainted with Prince Choong Won.
199
00:13:52,234 --> 00:13:56,504
Fools like you are like a plague, a cancer.
200
00:13:56,864 --> 00:13:58,703
Too many people like you...
201
00:13:58,704 --> 00:14:03,263
will cause Joseon to lose
its nose and fingers.
202
00:14:03,264 --> 00:14:06,334
One day, Joseon will lose everything
that ever had any meaning.
203
00:14:06,704 --> 00:14:08,434
You must die,
204
00:14:09,064 --> 00:14:11,104
and your offspring must be killed.
205
00:14:13,134 --> 00:14:14,564
I will save...
206
00:14:15,264 --> 00:14:16,964
our nation.
207
00:14:19,504 --> 00:14:21,233
There is no way we can...
208
00:14:21,234 --> 00:14:23,564
attack a man who has the King's favor.
209
00:14:25,104 --> 00:14:26,264
That is why...
210
00:14:28,164 --> 00:14:29,634
I will make the King...
211
00:14:30,104 --> 00:14:32,164
kill Prince Choong Won.
212
00:15:05,704 --> 00:15:07,963
Your duty is to record the
present for the future.
213
00:15:07,964 --> 00:15:09,734
It is an important duty.
214
00:15:10,104 --> 00:15:13,103
If you lose any of the books
or leak what is written,
215
00:15:13,104 --> 00:15:14,703
you will lose your title,
216
00:15:14,704 --> 00:15:17,033
and your descendants will be banned...
217
00:15:17,034 --> 00:15:19,303
from holding office forever.
218
00:15:19,304 --> 00:15:22,333
Nothing you write can be
exaggerated or falsified.
219
00:15:22,334 --> 00:15:24,163
You must record truthfully...
220
00:15:24,164 --> 00:15:26,234
everything you see and hear.
221
00:15:26,604 --> 00:15:29,633
Last night, one of the kitchen
maids and a gentleman...
222
00:15:29,634 --> 00:15:32,103
hid behind a large pillar and...
223
00:15:32,104 --> 00:15:34,503
- What did they do?
- Go on.
224
00:15:34,504 --> 00:15:36,103
- Tell us.
- I cannot.
225
00:15:36,104 --> 00:15:38,933
Last night, a horse got
into one of the buildings.
226
00:15:38,934 --> 00:15:40,963
- Really?
- Stay out here.
227
00:15:40,964 --> 00:15:42,264
Continue.
228
00:15:42,804 --> 00:15:44,164
What happened?
229
00:15:51,504 --> 00:15:53,064
Why are you smiling?
230
00:15:55,464 --> 00:15:57,163
It is so unbelievable.
231
00:15:57,164 --> 00:16:01,063
I am at the King's side,
listening to his voice...
232
00:16:01,064 --> 00:16:03,434
and writing down what he says.
233
00:16:04,134 --> 00:16:05,433
It is unbelievable.
234
00:16:05,434 --> 00:16:07,164
I find this work boring.
235
00:16:07,734 --> 00:16:11,434
I spend all day crouched in a
corner writing what others say.
236
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:14,604
I want to work in a secretarial
or legal position.
237
00:16:15,104 --> 00:16:18,904
That is the kind of office you
need to hold to get promoted.
238
00:16:20,964 --> 00:16:23,863
Have you heard the rumor?
239
00:16:23,864 --> 00:16:24,964
What rumor?
240
00:16:27,204 --> 00:16:30,504
A meeting was held to
review some of our records.
241
00:16:31,334 --> 00:16:33,163
Kim Il Son handed in...
242
00:16:33,164 --> 00:16:35,503
a book with insolent content.
243
00:16:35,504 --> 00:16:37,933
The Chief Reviewer was very angry.
244
00:16:37,934 --> 00:16:39,534
What insolent content?
245
00:16:40,634 --> 00:16:44,064
It was about King Sejo. It said he...
246
00:16:46,834 --> 00:16:48,504
King Sejo and...
247
00:16:49,264 --> 00:16:50,734
his daughter-in-law?
248
00:16:58,204 --> 00:17:00,003
If even one official...
249
00:17:00,004 --> 00:17:02,633
wrote down the rumors of King Sejo...
250
00:17:02,634 --> 00:17:04,164
in the royal records,
251
00:17:05,364 --> 00:17:06,933
could I not punish him?
252
00:17:06,934 --> 00:17:08,264
However so,
253
00:17:08,764 --> 00:17:12,604
the King is not allowed to
read the royal records.
254
00:17:14,034 --> 00:17:17,404
How would you attempt to check the content?
255
00:17:18,934 --> 00:17:20,234
Someone else...
256
00:17:21,004 --> 00:17:22,864
will have to do it.
257
00:17:29,764 --> 00:17:33,704
Who dislikes the strong stance
some ministers are taking?
258
00:17:33,964 --> 00:17:36,464
Lord No Sa Shin would be one.
259
00:17:37,634 --> 00:17:38,834
No.
260
00:17:40,234 --> 00:17:42,234
He dislikes the ministers' attitudes,
261
00:17:43,164 --> 00:17:45,264
but he also appreciates them.
262
00:17:46,574 --> 00:17:48,764
I need someone who does not fear them,
263
00:17:49,434 --> 00:17:51,404
yet hates them with a passion.
264
00:17:55,334 --> 00:17:57,034
Who would that be?
265
00:17:59,704 --> 00:18:01,504
How about Yoo Ja Gwang?
266
00:18:02,364 --> 00:18:04,634
He was born of a concubine,
267
00:18:04,864 --> 00:18:08,134
and the haughty ministers never
treated him as their equal.
268
00:18:11,134 --> 00:18:14,634
People say water from Mount
Jungto or Mount Sokri...
269
00:18:14,934 --> 00:18:17,504
is the best to make tea with.
270
00:18:18,574 --> 00:18:19,734
Do you know...
271
00:18:20,404 --> 00:18:21,904
how the water tastes?
272
00:18:30,034 --> 00:18:31,164
Just like any water.
273
00:18:32,434 --> 00:18:36,504
There is no big difference.
They just gave it a fancy name.
274
00:18:37,004 --> 00:18:38,504
Just to pretend.
275
00:18:39,404 --> 00:18:42,964
That is what the ministers and
scholars are like these days.
276
00:18:44,104 --> 00:18:47,204
They are determined to pretend to be noble.
277
00:18:48,464 --> 00:18:51,073
It is their duty to speak
the truth in court...
278
00:18:51,074 --> 00:18:52,834
but to also fear doing so.
279
00:18:54,004 --> 00:18:55,964
Do they fear anything?
280
00:18:57,434 --> 00:18:58,464
They...
281
00:18:59,634 --> 00:19:02,574
do not fear even me, their King.
282
00:19:05,164 --> 00:19:07,634
I called to ask you something.
283
00:19:09,134 --> 00:19:13,364
I heard that officials even take
note of rumors that circulate.
284
00:19:13,634 --> 00:19:15,164
Yes, Your Majesty.
285
00:19:15,864 --> 00:19:19,364
However, groundless
rumors are vetted out...
286
00:19:19,504 --> 00:19:21,734
and never recorded in any of the books.
287
00:19:22,164 --> 00:19:24,464
- You need not worry.
- Good.
288
00:19:25,464 --> 00:19:26,734
That should be so.
289
00:19:28,604 --> 00:19:29,864
However,
290
00:19:31,464 --> 00:19:33,804
even if it is not recorded
in the royal records,
291
00:19:35,434 --> 00:19:38,234
what if someone took note
of something preposterous?
292
00:19:39,704 --> 00:19:40,734
Would that...
293
00:19:41,864 --> 00:19:43,464
be considered disloyalty?
294
00:19:43,704 --> 00:19:46,634
- That is...
- What if he went too far?
295
00:19:47,634 --> 00:19:49,634
Far enough to be considered treason?
296
00:19:54,934 --> 00:19:56,574
Whoever finds him out...
297
00:19:57,464 --> 00:19:59,404
will be considered a loyal hero.
298
00:20:00,804 --> 00:20:03,104
If you were to name such a man...
299
00:20:04,164 --> 00:20:06,404
Even if you were born from a concubine,
300
00:20:06,764 --> 00:20:08,934
I could give you wings.
301
00:20:15,104 --> 00:20:18,333
There is a rumor that Kim
Il Son handed in a book...
302
00:20:18,334 --> 00:20:20,134
with some insolent content...
303
00:20:20,434 --> 00:20:23,204
and caused an uproar during the meeting.
304
00:20:24,404 --> 00:20:27,634
None of you are willing to discuss
the matter, but I am sure...
305
00:20:27,764 --> 00:20:29,633
you all have heard of it.
306
00:20:29,634 --> 00:20:31,634
Why are you bringing that up?
307
00:20:32,604 --> 00:20:35,573
They were only written
in that officer's notes.
308
00:20:35,574 --> 00:20:38,433
They were not in the royal
records, so there is no problem.
309
00:20:38,434 --> 00:20:41,434
What if the King is already
aware of what is...
310
00:20:41,864 --> 00:20:44,304
written in the officers' private notes?
311
00:20:44,634 --> 00:20:45,764
What do you say?
312
00:20:46,234 --> 00:20:47,634
He already knows?
313
00:20:48,074 --> 00:20:52,004
People are gossiping that the
King distances himself from us...
314
00:20:52,464 --> 00:20:55,334
and spends more time
with eunuchs and maids.
315
00:20:55,504 --> 00:20:58,404
Do you think those eunuchs and maids...
316
00:20:58,864 --> 00:21:02,533
do nothing but provide the
King with entertainment?
317
00:21:02,534 --> 00:21:03,933
They are...
318
00:21:03,934 --> 00:21:06,574
the King's eyes and ears.
319
00:21:07,264 --> 00:21:08,604
What are you saying?
320
00:21:08,704 --> 00:21:10,703
How would the King know?
321
00:21:10,704 --> 00:21:13,504
He is not aware of anything just yet.
322
00:21:13,834 --> 00:21:16,004
But he will find out...
323
00:21:16,134 --> 00:21:17,804
if we tell him.
324
00:21:18,034 --> 00:21:21,434
His Majesty wants and is waiting for us...
325
00:21:22,264 --> 00:21:23,764
to tell him everything.
326
00:21:27,334 --> 00:21:31,334
People who spread scandals
about King Sejo...
327
00:21:31,464 --> 00:21:34,863
should be punished, of course.
328
00:21:34,864 --> 00:21:36,434
You are right.
329
00:21:36,804 --> 00:21:40,234
However, I need you to
promise me something.
330
00:21:41,104 --> 00:21:42,864
This is to punish...
331
00:21:43,404 --> 00:21:46,334
the insolence of scribe Kim Il Son.
332
00:21:46,904 --> 00:21:50,463
The sparks must not jump
or spread to anyone else.
333
00:21:50,464 --> 00:21:52,904
You have my word.
334
00:21:57,604 --> 00:22:01,264
Why do you request to see
the King so late at night?
335
00:22:01,504 --> 00:22:04,903
We have something secret that he must see.
336
00:22:04,904 --> 00:22:07,004
(Some records were kept from the King.)
337
00:22:08,104 --> 00:22:10,263
- Goodbye, master.
- Goodnight.
338
00:22:10,264 --> 00:22:11,803
I will be back again.
339
00:22:11,804 --> 00:22:13,004
- Yes, master.
- Thank you.
340
00:22:16,634 --> 00:22:19,234
Gil Dong, lantern manager So Chool says...
341
00:22:19,604 --> 00:22:22,163
ministers went to the King
in the middle of the night.
342
00:22:22,164 --> 00:22:23,263
(Lanterns were lit by hand.)
343
00:22:23,264 --> 00:22:25,904
They almost never visit the
King so late at night.
344
00:22:39,534 --> 00:22:42,864
Your Majesty, Lord No Sa Shin
and some other ministers...
345
00:22:43,104 --> 00:22:44,964
wish to speak with you.
346
00:23:08,864 --> 00:23:11,234
His Majesty is speaking with his ministers.
347
00:23:11,804 --> 00:23:13,133
I must take notes.
348
00:23:13,134 --> 00:23:15,264
Your presence is not required tonight.
349
00:23:15,464 --> 00:23:18,834
However, I would like you to speak with me.
350
00:23:20,034 --> 00:23:21,564
Your Majesty.
351
00:23:21,964 --> 00:23:24,103
Scribe Kim Il Son had taken notes of...
352
00:23:24,104 --> 00:23:26,404
some scandalous information.
353
00:23:27,064 --> 00:23:29,804
I am here to inform you of it.
354
00:23:41,734 --> 00:23:43,234
Scandalous information?
355
00:23:48,704 --> 00:23:50,904
He had written down...
356
00:23:51,204 --> 00:23:53,304
some information about King Sejo.
357
00:23:53,804 --> 00:23:56,733
It is too embarrassing that
I do not dare repeat...
358
00:23:56,734 --> 00:23:57,904
Tell me.
359
00:24:03,034 --> 00:24:04,964
King Sejo...
360
00:24:05,634 --> 00:24:08,403
left Prince No San's
corpse in a mountain...
361
00:24:08,404 --> 00:24:10,704
for the wild beasts to pick off.
362
00:24:10,934 --> 00:24:15,303
He also tried to violate many
women of noble birth including...
363
00:24:15,304 --> 00:24:18,634
his own daughter-in-law,
Royal Concubine Kwon.
364
00:24:18,964 --> 00:24:21,933
He even desecrated the grave of...
365
00:24:21,934 --> 00:24:25,463
(He desecrated a grave and
threw the remains in the sea.)
366
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:26,834
Is it true that...
367
00:24:28,164 --> 00:24:30,004
such terrible accounts...
368
00:24:32,004 --> 00:24:34,034
were recorded in his notes?
369
00:24:50,864 --> 00:24:53,104
I will see for myself.
370
00:24:54,004 --> 00:24:57,834
Bring every one of Kim
Il Son's notes to me.
371
00:24:58,004 --> 00:24:59,864
Your Majesty.
372
00:25:00,364 --> 00:25:05,134
It is customary for the kings
not to read any of the notes.
373
00:25:05,634 --> 00:25:10,334
If the kings read the notes, no
record would remain impartial.
374
00:25:10,504 --> 00:25:12,634
- Your Majesty.
- Lord No.
375
00:25:13,104 --> 00:25:16,404
The reason the scribes
even made such notes...
376
00:25:17,364 --> 00:25:20,003
is because they think nothing of King Sejo.
377
00:25:20,004 --> 00:25:22,464
If they think nothing of King Sejo,
378
00:25:22,634 --> 00:25:24,904
they think nothing of me as well.
379
00:25:25,734 --> 00:25:28,834
Are you really trying to stop me?
380
00:25:34,334 --> 00:25:37,704
The King is very angry that
some of his subjects are...
381
00:25:38,104 --> 00:25:39,804
slandering King Sejo's name.
382
00:25:40,864 --> 00:25:43,563
A special investigation will be held soon.
383
00:25:43,564 --> 00:25:44,603
(Usually for treason)
384
00:25:44,604 --> 00:25:47,004
His Majesty will appoint a transcriber,
385
00:25:47,464 --> 00:25:49,104
and that will be you.
386
00:25:49,404 --> 00:25:52,633
Why would he give me
such an important duty?
387
00:25:52,634 --> 00:25:55,834
Because His Majesty believes
that you are loyal.
388
00:25:58,204 --> 00:26:01,103
Arrest scribe Kim Il Son!
389
00:26:01,104 --> 00:26:02,264
- Yes, master.
- Yes, master.
390
00:26:11,504 --> 00:26:13,734
- Master.
- You made it.
391
00:26:14,734 --> 00:26:18,063
Guards were sent out to arrest Kim Il Son.
392
00:26:18,064 --> 00:26:19,633
What for?
393
00:26:19,634 --> 00:26:24,064
Something about him writing
something scandalous in his notes.
394
00:26:24,634 --> 00:26:25,864
Kim Il Son's notes?
395
00:26:27,164 --> 00:26:28,634
The world is coming to an end.
396
00:26:28,904 --> 00:26:30,734
The King reading a scribe's notes?
397
00:26:31,004 --> 00:26:32,733
This has never happened.
398
00:26:32,734 --> 00:26:34,904
If word gets out of what
is written in them,
399
00:26:35,534 --> 00:26:37,204
everything will become a mess.
400
00:26:46,934 --> 00:26:48,834
What are royal notes?
401
00:26:49,734 --> 00:26:50,804
What?
402
00:26:51,464 --> 00:26:54,364
Everything will become a
mess because of them.
403
00:26:58,634 --> 00:27:00,433
There will be an investigation,
404
00:27:00,434 --> 00:27:02,904
and the King wants me as the transcriber.
405
00:27:04,934 --> 00:27:06,034
I see.
406
00:27:08,464 --> 00:27:10,134
Are you not surprised?
407
00:27:11,734 --> 00:27:14,403
How could I take such
an important position?
408
00:27:14,404 --> 00:27:16,433
Give your everything...
409
00:27:16,434 --> 00:27:18,434
to build up His Majesty's dignity.
410
00:27:18,704 --> 00:27:21,163
That is your duty as His Majesty's liege...
411
00:27:21,164 --> 00:27:23,004
and as a human being.
412
00:27:24,064 --> 00:27:26,634
In the end, it is the
right way for the people.
413
00:27:27,064 --> 00:27:28,903
The right way for the people?
414
00:27:28,904 --> 00:27:31,533
It is all by His Majesty's
grace that we can eat, sleep,
415
00:27:31,534 --> 00:27:33,434
and live in safety.
416
00:27:34,104 --> 00:27:35,264
However,
417
00:27:36,204 --> 00:27:39,963
these young scholars are picking
on everything His Majesty says.
418
00:27:39,964 --> 00:27:42,834
They attempt to rebel and shake
the root of this country.
419
00:27:44,204 --> 00:27:45,433
Do not forget.
420
00:27:45,434 --> 00:27:48,504
Those who rebel against
those above us are...
421
00:27:49,704 --> 00:27:52,233
the scabs and diseases of this country.
422
00:27:52,234 --> 00:27:53,863
Those who rebel against those above us?
423
00:27:53,864 --> 00:27:56,633
That is why you should stand
firm and stand against...
424
00:27:56,634 --> 00:27:57,934
those who rebel.
425
00:28:00,934 --> 00:28:04,204
Promise me. No matter what anyone does,
426
00:28:04,404 --> 00:28:06,063
you and I alone will become...
427
00:28:06,064 --> 00:28:09,004
the most loyal servants to this country.
428
00:28:09,104 --> 00:28:11,233
Let us become pillars to
the Joseon Dynasty...
429
00:28:11,234 --> 00:28:12,263
which will last for 10,000 years.
430
00:28:12,264 --> 00:28:14,234
I will make plans that
will last 10,000 years.
431
00:28:15,764 --> 00:28:18,204
I will root out those people
who are like diseases.
432
00:28:18,864 --> 00:28:21,234
Thank you. I thank you.
433
00:28:26,904 --> 00:28:29,064
We should not sit around.
434
00:28:30,064 --> 00:28:31,763
I will tell you a way...
435
00:28:31,764 --> 00:28:33,904
you can find out those who
rebel against His Majesty.
436
00:28:43,534 --> 00:28:46,364
I heard you two became transcribers.
437
00:28:48,764 --> 00:28:50,434
Yes, we have.
438
00:28:52,964 --> 00:28:56,734
Do you know why His Majesty
put you in that position?
439
00:28:57,334 --> 00:29:01,263
It is because you are the
grandson of Park Won Il.
440
00:29:01,264 --> 00:29:02,564
Do you understand?
441
00:29:03,134 --> 00:29:06,333
This means you will have to
call your grandparents in...
442
00:29:06,334 --> 00:29:08,433
for a flogging with your own hands.
443
00:29:08,434 --> 00:29:10,203
Are you not ashamed?
444
00:29:10,204 --> 00:29:11,934
What about you?
445
00:29:12,364 --> 00:29:15,934
You believe those who worked
with King Sejo are disgusting.
446
00:29:16,134 --> 00:29:19,464
How do you receive money from the
court which his son reigns in?
447
00:29:21,834 --> 00:29:24,004
Are you not ashamed about that?
448
00:29:30,204 --> 00:29:31,633
Why are you doing this?
449
00:29:31,634 --> 00:29:33,563
Those who have no connections like us...
450
00:29:33,564 --> 00:29:35,903
cannot thrive in what we do unless
those officers are in favor of us.
451
00:29:35,904 --> 00:29:38,533
Once those officers in three offices
think of you as a petty man,
452
00:29:38,534 --> 00:29:40,533
your life as an officer in the
palace will never be easy.
453
00:29:40,534 --> 00:29:43,104
Who is a noble man, and who is a petty man?
454
00:29:43,434 --> 00:29:46,233
For them, their posts probably
do not mean anything.
455
00:29:46,234 --> 00:29:48,504
They always make an appeal
saying they will all quit.
456
00:29:49,204 --> 00:29:51,103
However, that is not my case.
457
00:29:51,104 --> 00:29:52,634
I have never thought...
458
00:29:53,604 --> 00:29:57,164
I would ever be in such a position.
459
00:29:58,204 --> 00:30:01,333
I never even dreamed I would be alongside,
460
00:30:01,334 --> 00:30:04,003
making a small difference
working with the men...
461
00:30:04,004 --> 00:30:05,634
who make this country great.
462
00:30:05,904 --> 00:30:07,364
My life used to be...
463
00:30:09,164 --> 00:30:11,503
I told you to help your young master study.
464
00:30:11,504 --> 00:30:12,963
How dare you go around playing?
465
00:30:12,964 --> 00:30:14,404
Darn you!
466
00:30:15,504 --> 00:30:17,033
Mom!
467
00:30:17,034 --> 00:30:19,164
- Honey.
- Mom.
468
00:30:20,904 --> 00:30:25,164
People!
469
00:30:25,964 --> 00:30:27,363
Hey, let go of him.
470
00:30:27,364 --> 00:30:29,403
It did not matter how well-fed
or how well-dressed we were.
471
00:30:29,404 --> 00:30:30,534
Let us go.
472
00:30:30,634 --> 00:30:33,103
When someone in the office said
something, we were torn apart.
473
00:30:33,104 --> 00:30:36,203
Gil Hyeon. Gil Hyeon.
474
00:30:36,204 --> 00:30:37,504
Gil Hyeon.
475
00:30:42,634 --> 00:30:45,563
I was an outcast in this country of Joseon.
476
00:30:45,564 --> 00:30:48,363
An outcast of Joseon?
477
00:30:48,364 --> 00:30:50,064
However, that is not the case now.
478
00:30:50,734 --> 00:30:52,803
I am now a part of Joseon.
479
00:30:52,804 --> 00:30:54,933
I will not be torn apart easily anymore.
480
00:30:54,934 --> 00:30:57,434
And one day, those who have
torn my family apart...
481
00:31:02,064 --> 00:31:05,304
His Majesty is the one
who gave me this life.
482
00:31:06,234 --> 00:31:08,864
I cannot turn my back on His Majesty.
483
00:31:10,034 --> 00:31:11,334
You must know that.
484
00:31:50,364 --> 00:31:52,434
You are just like me.
485
00:31:52,834 --> 00:31:54,503
You and I...
486
00:31:54,504 --> 00:31:56,604
both have fathers with faults.
487
00:31:56,734 --> 00:32:00,003
I am a son of a concubine,
and your grandfather is...
488
00:32:00,004 --> 00:32:02,734
a loyal subject of the dethroned king.
489
00:32:03,534 --> 00:32:06,964
However, thanks to those faults,
we are given this opportunity.
490
00:32:07,404 --> 00:32:09,264
We must show His Majesty...
491
00:32:09,564 --> 00:32:11,703
what we can do with this chance.
492
00:32:11,704 --> 00:32:13,464
What must I do?
493
00:32:14,764 --> 00:32:16,703
Shall I go over Kim Il Son's notes...
494
00:32:16,704 --> 00:32:20,234
and find out everything
unfaithful done to King Sejo?
495
00:32:28,434 --> 00:32:30,233
Find out everything that can be...
496
00:32:30,234 --> 00:32:32,763
problematic in whatever Kim Il
Son has written in his notes.
497
00:32:32,764 --> 00:32:34,404
- Yes, my lord.
- Yes, my lord.
498
00:32:37,834 --> 00:32:39,033
Your Majesty.
499
00:32:39,034 --> 00:32:40,733
Scribe Kim Il Son...
500
00:32:40,734 --> 00:32:44,203
confessed he has heard vicious
rumors about King Sejo...
501
00:32:44,204 --> 00:32:47,304
and wrote them in his notes.
502
00:32:48,264 --> 00:32:50,434
Find the first person
who spread that rumor.
503
00:32:51,104 --> 00:32:53,904
Then the person who heard that
rumor from that person...
504
00:32:55,134 --> 00:32:57,133
and the next person who spread the rumor.
505
00:32:57,134 --> 00:32:59,203
Find out everyone who
took part in this rumor.
506
00:32:59,204 --> 00:33:01,164
Do not leave out...
507
00:33:01,734 --> 00:33:03,404
even one person.
508
00:33:11,904 --> 00:33:13,633
We have interrogated...
509
00:33:13,634 --> 00:33:17,263
every single person who told
Kim Il Son about this rumor.
510
00:33:17,264 --> 00:33:20,334
However, everyone denies they
had any rebellious intentions.
511
00:33:21,434 --> 00:33:23,933
How can we punish those
who have been disloyal...
512
00:33:23,934 --> 00:33:25,463
at this rate?
513
00:33:25,464 --> 00:33:26,764
However,
514
00:33:27,464 --> 00:33:30,834
since Kim Il Son has written
rumors he has heard for years,
515
00:33:31,264 --> 00:33:33,303
it is only natural for those
who spread the rumors...
516
00:33:33,304 --> 00:33:35,203
and heard them not to clearly remember.
517
00:33:35,204 --> 00:33:36,863
His Majesty said...
518
00:33:36,864 --> 00:33:39,404
there was someone who should
be punished for rebellion.
519
00:33:39,604 --> 00:33:42,634
That means, we must find
someone guilty for that.
520
00:33:43,834 --> 00:33:47,034
Do you all understand what I mean?
521
00:34:07,104 --> 00:34:10,364
I will tell you a way you can
find out those who rebel.
522
00:34:11,834 --> 00:34:13,434
They are very afraid.
523
00:34:14,934 --> 00:34:16,634
Think about it.
524
00:34:16,864 --> 00:34:19,133
They have received their
money from King Sejo,
525
00:34:19,134 --> 00:34:22,203
but behind his back, they
were plotting against him.
526
00:34:22,204 --> 00:34:24,904
Can you understand how
scared they would have been?
527
00:34:25,604 --> 00:34:26,703
That is why...
528
00:34:26,704 --> 00:34:30,004
they hide their true intentions
in a very clever way.
529
00:34:30,234 --> 00:34:32,863
They hide behind their fancy words,
530
00:34:32,864 --> 00:34:35,233
then they become happy
behind His Majesty's back,
531
00:34:35,234 --> 00:34:37,634
saying the King was fooled.
532
00:34:38,834 --> 00:34:42,434
How cowardly and disloyal is that?
533
00:34:44,734 --> 00:34:47,533
That is why they hide
their true intentions...
534
00:34:47,534 --> 00:34:49,864
in a very clever way.
535
00:34:51,974 --> 00:34:54,004
"October of 1457,."
536
00:34:54,434 --> 00:34:58,204
"I was asleep when a hermit
appeared in my dreams."
537
00:35:08,534 --> 00:35:10,634
Have you found anything?
538
00:35:12,434 --> 00:35:15,204
What have you been doing with your time?
539
00:35:46,404 --> 00:35:47,734
My lord.
540
00:35:48,134 --> 00:35:51,064
Do you know about the eulogy
written in Kim Il Son's notes?
541
00:35:51,604 --> 00:35:52,834
What about it?
542
00:35:53,064 --> 00:35:54,263
The eulogy pays...
543
00:35:54,264 --> 00:35:57,434
its tribute to Emperor Yi of Chu,
who was dethroned by the queen.
544
00:35:57,634 --> 00:36:00,633
Why do you think Kim Il Son
wrote this down in his notes?
545
00:36:00,634 --> 00:36:04,003
That is because sometimes
the notes will include...
546
00:36:04,004 --> 00:36:06,334
old, literary items from time to time.
547
00:36:09,404 --> 00:36:13,234
"October of 1457, I was asleep when
a hermit appeared in my dreams."
548
00:36:13,534 --> 00:36:15,763
"I am Xiong Xin, the son of
King Huai of Chu Dynasty."
549
00:36:15,764 --> 00:36:19,004
"I was murdered and abandoned in a
river by the king of Western Chu."
550
00:36:19,504 --> 00:36:21,934
"After he said that, he
suddenly disappeared."
551
00:36:23,834 --> 00:36:27,064
October of 1457 is when
Prince No San passed away.
552
00:36:27,734 --> 00:36:30,633
Kim Il Son's note has rumors...
553
00:36:30,634 --> 00:36:33,503
about King Sejo abandoning Prince
No San's body in a field...
554
00:36:33,504 --> 00:36:36,234
and letting it get eaten by crows.
555
00:36:36,764 --> 00:36:38,484
The same information is here in the eulogy.
556
00:36:40,004 --> 00:36:41,863
This is the story about...
557
00:36:41,864 --> 00:36:44,434
Prince No San who was murdered
and abandoned in a river.
558
00:36:49,504 --> 00:36:52,634
I guess it does not mean anything.
559
00:36:53,474 --> 00:36:54,903
I do apologize.
560
00:36:54,904 --> 00:36:58,133
I was suspicious if they hid their
intentions with clever words.
561
00:36:58,134 --> 00:36:59,563
No.
562
00:36:59,564 --> 00:37:00,804
No.
563
00:37:03,704 --> 00:37:07,133
We will look at every
single word in this eulogy.
564
00:37:07,134 --> 00:37:11,134
We will make sure we find
out the situation...
565
00:37:11,564 --> 00:37:13,204
behind their rebellion against King Sejo.
566
00:37:21,304 --> 00:37:23,364
My lord.
567
00:37:24,234 --> 00:37:28,474
It says, "Why did you not
bring it in and oil it up?"
568
00:37:28,904 --> 00:37:31,734
They are lamenting over the
fact Prince No San could not...
569
00:37:32,504 --> 00:37:34,364
- take over King Sejo.
- And this.
570
00:37:35,134 --> 00:37:39,203
It says Emperor Yi was betrayed,
and he became a stone.
571
00:37:39,204 --> 00:37:42,504
That is written in an attempt to
blame King Sejo for the murder...
572
00:37:43,304 --> 00:37:44,904
of Prince No San.
573
00:37:46,264 --> 00:37:50,434
Have you found the ways Kim
Il Son rebelled against him?
574
00:38:02,534 --> 00:38:05,503
- A eulogy?
- Yes, Your Majesty.
575
00:38:05,504 --> 00:38:09,534
He is comparing King Sejo to the queen.
576
00:38:10,004 --> 00:38:14,934
He wants to say King Sejo took
over Prince No San's enthronement.
577
00:38:15,264 --> 00:38:16,634
He is saying...
578
00:38:17,034 --> 00:38:21,364
King Sejo is a sinner who usurped
the throne from Prince No San.
579
00:38:21,564 --> 00:38:22,974
Also, Your Majesty,
580
00:38:23,204 --> 00:38:27,064
do you know who wrote this eulogy?
581
00:38:27,904 --> 00:38:31,904
It is Kim Il Son's teacher, Kim Jong Jik.
582
00:38:32,564 --> 00:38:35,040
The men who have said
disrespectful things to you,
583
00:38:35,064 --> 00:38:39,764
such as Lee Eok Gong and Choi Moon, are...
584
00:38:40,234 --> 00:38:42,634
all Kim Jong Jik's students.
585
00:38:49,564 --> 00:38:51,333
Have you heard about the eulogy?
586
00:38:51,334 --> 00:38:53,604
- The eulogy?
- They wrote down the eulogy.
587
00:38:56,234 --> 00:38:58,480
Everyone is talking about the eulogy.
588
00:38:58,504 --> 00:39:00,803
- What is it?
- It's written in the notes.
589
00:39:00,804 --> 00:39:01,864
The notes?
590
00:39:02,634 --> 00:39:04,834
Everyone is talking about
something in the low,
591
00:39:05,004 --> 00:39:06,634
and it is about a eulogy.
592
00:39:07,304 --> 00:39:08,504
A eulogy?
593
00:39:12,204 --> 00:39:14,763
Everyone hides and burns it.
594
00:39:14,764 --> 00:39:16,704
It was hard to get my hands on this.
595
00:39:27,204 --> 00:39:28,974
This does not feel normal.
596
00:39:30,164 --> 00:39:31,633
This eulogy pays...
597
00:39:31,634 --> 00:39:34,433
a tribute to Emperor Yi of Chu Dynasty.
598
00:39:34,434 --> 00:39:36,164
What does Chu Dynasty...
599
00:39:36,364 --> 00:39:39,204
- have to do with us?
- It may not seem related at first.
600
00:39:39,904 --> 00:39:41,064
But listen.
601
00:39:41,934 --> 00:39:44,334
I think those who have read this eulogy...
602
00:39:44,564 --> 00:39:47,204
believed King Sejo had
murdered his nephew...
603
00:39:47,634 --> 00:39:50,734
by military force and took
his throne for himself.
604
00:39:51,134 --> 00:39:52,704
That is what they want to say.
605
00:39:53,504 --> 00:39:55,634
- In other words...
- The King is...
606
00:39:55,734 --> 00:39:58,734
angry about a vicious rumor
surrounding King Sejo.
607
00:40:00,104 --> 00:40:03,004
And King Sejo is the King's grandfather.
608
00:40:03,264 --> 00:40:04,404
That means,
609
00:40:05,974 --> 00:40:09,103
he is angry because people said
bad things about his grandfather.
610
00:40:09,104 --> 00:40:11,534
To put it simply, I guess that is correct.
611
00:40:15,974 --> 00:40:17,834
The button which triggers the King was...
612
00:40:18,704 --> 00:40:19,974
his grandfather.
613
00:40:21,474 --> 00:40:23,764
How much trouble...
614
00:40:24,164 --> 00:40:25,904
can this eulogy create?
615
00:40:26,864 --> 00:40:28,533
I do not know much about the state.
616
00:40:28,534 --> 00:40:32,104
However, if His Majesty sees through
the intention of the scribe,
617
00:40:32,234 --> 00:40:34,974
this is treason at the very least.
618
00:40:38,734 --> 00:40:42,204
King Sejo has put a rest
to a chaotic country...
619
00:40:42,564 --> 00:40:44,484
and started a system that
will last generations.
620
00:40:44,804 --> 00:40:47,204
However, the accounts where
Kim Jong Jik's students...
621
00:40:47,334 --> 00:40:49,503
have dared to read the
eulogy amongst themselves...
622
00:40:49,504 --> 00:40:54,204
and have called King Sejo a
traitor have been confirmed.
623
00:40:54,634 --> 00:40:58,133
Now that their sins are
disclosed to everyone,
624
00:40:58,134 --> 00:41:00,404
you all should tell me
how I shall punish...
625
00:41:00,564 --> 00:41:02,004
Kim Jong Jik about this.
626
00:41:02,764 --> 00:41:06,864
Your Majesty, when I
came across this eulogy,
627
00:41:07,064 --> 00:41:09,140
I could not read it out loud...
628
00:41:09,164 --> 00:41:11,434
or even read it with my eyes.
629
00:41:11,764 --> 00:41:13,903
You must dig up his corpse and behead it...
630
00:41:13,904 --> 00:41:15,634
to set an example.
631
00:41:16,334 --> 00:41:18,764
Kim Jong Jik has kept two
hearts while in his office.
632
00:41:18,864 --> 00:41:20,703
You must behead his corpse.
633
00:41:20,704 --> 00:41:22,764
You must behead his corpse.
634
00:41:23,004 --> 00:41:25,564
- You must behead his corpse.
- You must behead his corpse.
635
00:41:26,764 --> 00:41:29,934
Your Majesty, Kim Jong
Jik has already died.
636
00:41:30,104 --> 00:41:32,103
You should stop with
taking away his position.
637
00:41:32,104 --> 00:41:34,334
Kim Jong Jik's treason is as clear as day.
638
00:41:34,604 --> 00:41:36,974
Are you standing up for his followers?
639
00:41:37,204 --> 00:41:38,633
However, Your Majesty...
640
00:41:38,634 --> 00:41:39,903
Is anyone there?
641
00:41:39,904 --> 00:41:42,504
There are people here
that speak disloyally.
642
00:41:42,734 --> 00:41:46,164
Take them immediately and
interrogate them for execution.
643
00:41:48,634 --> 00:41:50,534
You must root up any customs...
644
00:41:50,634 --> 00:41:52,564
which dare to rebel against your masters.
645
00:41:58,134 --> 00:41:59,764
- Your Majesty!
- Let us go.
646
00:42:00,334 --> 00:42:02,203
- Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty!
647
00:42:02,204 --> 00:42:04,334
- Your Majesty.
- Your Majesty!
648
00:42:04,634 --> 00:42:07,803
- Your Majesty!
- Your Majesty!
649
00:42:07,804 --> 00:42:10,504
Let go of me. Your Majesty!
650
00:42:24,304 --> 00:42:26,364
Did you think I did not know...
651
00:42:26,704 --> 00:42:28,104
about my father?
652
00:42:29,004 --> 00:42:30,703
I have no time.
653
00:42:30,704 --> 00:42:31,933
He has killed my mother.
654
00:42:31,934 --> 00:42:34,974
You must take after Confucius and Mencius.
655
00:42:35,204 --> 00:42:38,974
That is the safest way.
That is the only safe way.
656
00:42:48,004 --> 00:42:50,064
Come on, let go of me.
657
00:42:50,434 --> 00:42:53,804
Let go of me right now.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
658
00:43:03,434 --> 00:43:06,834
You are the man who found the eulogy...
659
00:43:07,534 --> 00:43:09,534
and handed it to Yoo Ja Gwang.
660
00:43:10,504 --> 00:43:11,504
My lord.
661
00:43:12,834 --> 00:43:14,104
You did well.
662
00:43:16,804 --> 00:43:18,204
Watch and see.
663
00:43:18,604 --> 00:43:20,604
Things will get bloody from now on.
664
00:43:22,604 --> 00:43:23,634
They have...
665
00:43:24,974 --> 00:43:27,804
called you a petty man every single day.
666
00:43:28,204 --> 00:43:30,904
They have cursed you, saying
they will eat you up alive.
667
00:43:31,904 --> 00:43:34,704
Why are you afraid those men will get hurt?
668
00:43:36,604 --> 00:43:38,134
Do you not know why?
669
00:43:41,334 --> 00:43:43,764
Yes, for a while,
670
00:43:44,464 --> 00:43:47,364
they have not been tending
after the country.
671
00:43:48,264 --> 00:43:51,064
Instead, they were focused on
playing power games with the King.
672
00:43:51,464 --> 00:43:54,204
They surely were stupid and foolish.
673
00:43:54,504 --> 00:43:58,864
However, it would have been better
to lead them down a better road.
674
00:43:59,764 --> 00:44:02,034
If those foolish men get killed,
675
00:44:02,304 --> 00:44:04,534
and no one has the freedom of speech,
676
00:44:05,204 --> 00:44:06,204
what kind of path...
677
00:44:07,234 --> 00:44:09,404
will this land of Joseon head down?
678
00:44:21,834 --> 00:44:25,034
If this is treason, people
who are involved in this...
679
00:44:25,464 --> 00:44:27,634
surely will be punished.
680
00:44:28,704 --> 00:44:29,904
Of course.
681
00:44:31,534 --> 00:44:32,864
Even royal families?
682
00:44:33,404 --> 00:44:36,404
Are you trying to put Prince Choong Won...
683
00:44:36,764 --> 00:44:38,704
in the middle of this incident?
684
00:44:40,104 --> 00:44:42,434
Not a single person can
be forgiven for treason.
685
00:44:42,634 --> 00:44:43,764
Even if...
686
00:44:44,404 --> 00:44:46,564
it is Prince Choong Won.
687
00:44:56,264 --> 00:45:00,064
Make sure I never see that girl again.
688
00:45:17,404 --> 00:45:20,034
Put that away. It looks awful.
689
00:45:22,864 --> 00:45:25,104
The servants must have done
something wrong again.
690
00:45:26,164 --> 00:45:27,704
Those darn servants.
691
00:45:28,704 --> 00:45:30,834
I took care of what you told me to do.
692
00:45:32,034 --> 00:45:35,264
They will work diligently
only in the silver mines.
693
00:45:35,564 --> 00:45:39,504
Maybe we should chain them down to
prevent them from running away.
694
00:45:44,004 --> 00:45:45,864
This is a list of Kim
Jong Jik's followers...
695
00:45:46,064 --> 00:45:49,633
who look like they have created
a faction with Kim Il Son.
696
00:45:49,634 --> 00:45:52,164
(Faction: A group of people
united under a single idea)
697
00:45:56,834 --> 00:46:00,364
These are just the people who
are from the same hometown...
698
00:46:00,634 --> 00:46:02,934
or his friends who have
studied in the same school.
699
00:46:03,904 --> 00:46:07,033
I do not think we should
be suspicious of them.
700
00:46:07,034 --> 00:46:10,733
His Majesty wants to scare them.
701
00:46:10,734 --> 00:46:13,234
He wants them to shake with fear.
702
00:46:13,604 --> 00:46:16,310
You must be suspicious and question...
703
00:46:16,334 --> 00:46:20,164
every single person who is related
in any way with Kim Il Son.
704
00:46:20,634 --> 00:46:25,334
We must show all of Joseon
how great His Majesty is.
705
00:46:53,104 --> 00:46:55,964
- You must hurry! Quickly!
- Yes!
706
00:46:56,864 --> 00:46:58,204
Hurry up!
707
00:47:03,634 --> 00:47:05,434
What are you all doing?
708
00:47:10,034 --> 00:47:11,564
Hurry! Now!
709
00:47:13,104 --> 00:47:16,204
Prince Choong Won's
grandfather was Prince Yang.
710
00:47:17,264 --> 00:47:18,563
He constantly brags...
711
00:47:18,564 --> 00:47:21,563
that his grandfather, Prince
Yang, made King Sejo...
712
00:47:21,564 --> 00:47:23,733
- the king.
- That is the problem.
713
00:47:23,734 --> 00:47:26,203
They are arresting anyone who
speaks ill of King Sejo,
714
00:47:26,204 --> 00:47:27,603
but Prince Choong Won's grandfather...
715
00:47:27,604 --> 00:47:30,004
helped King Sejo.
716
00:47:32,334 --> 00:47:35,203
Why did it get so cold?
717
00:47:35,204 --> 00:47:36,604
Why are you so late?
718
00:47:37,264 --> 00:47:40,863
I am late because I was
staring at the fire too.
719
00:47:40,864 --> 00:47:42,134
The fire?
720
00:47:42,464 --> 00:47:45,463
Do you know Lee Jong Soo,
the man who used to...
721
00:47:45,464 --> 00:47:47,363
visit Prince Choong Won now and then?
722
00:47:47,364 --> 00:47:50,133
He was burning all of the
books and letters...
723
00:47:50,134 --> 00:47:51,704
in his house.
724
00:47:54,534 --> 00:47:57,033
One of his servants is my mole.
725
00:47:57,034 --> 00:47:58,363
I heard...
726
00:47:58,364 --> 00:48:01,104
that Lee Jong Soo and Kim Il Son...
727
00:48:01,764 --> 00:48:03,304
are from the same hometown.
728
00:48:08,364 --> 00:48:10,104
Gil Dong...
729
00:48:10,964 --> 00:48:14,164
plans to tie Prince Choong Won
to some matters of the nation.
730
00:48:19,464 --> 00:48:22,434
The worst that can happen is death.
731
00:48:29,334 --> 00:48:31,063
Go to Hanyang right away...
732
00:48:31,064 --> 00:48:34,104
and deliver this secretly to...
733
00:48:38,634 --> 00:48:40,004
Who are you?
734
00:48:46,834 --> 00:48:48,504
Do you not remember?
735
00:48:48,804 --> 00:48:51,464
I'm the procurer from Hwalbinjeong.
736
00:48:53,034 --> 00:48:56,804
You attended the poetry meeting
that Prince Choong Won hosted.
737
00:48:57,534 --> 00:48:58,804
What is it?
738
00:49:01,704 --> 00:49:03,904
Did you burn something?
739
00:49:05,404 --> 00:49:06,964
Did you burn...
740
00:49:08,234 --> 00:49:10,303
Kim Jon Jik's criticisms of King Sejo?
741
00:49:10,304 --> 00:49:13,934
Or were they letters
exchanged with Kim Il Son?
742
00:49:15,404 --> 00:49:17,803
Burning them will not resolve the matter.
743
00:49:17,804 --> 00:49:19,903
My sources in Hanyang tell me...
744
00:49:19,904 --> 00:49:22,604
that dozens are arrested
on a daily basis...
745
00:49:22,904 --> 00:49:25,004
and are judged at trial.
746
00:49:27,304 --> 00:49:29,763
Most die or are banished,
747
00:49:29,764 --> 00:49:32,934
and their families become slaves.
748
00:49:34,634 --> 00:49:36,763
I will help you.
749
00:49:36,764 --> 00:49:39,804
I can help you. But first,
750
00:49:40,634 --> 00:49:42,734
please do something for me.
751
00:50:17,964 --> 00:50:21,103
Kim Il Son confessed that you are...
752
00:50:21,104 --> 00:50:23,503
one of Kim Jong Jik's 25 disciples...
753
00:50:23,504 --> 00:50:24,633
and that he heard...
754
00:50:24,634 --> 00:50:27,364
rumors about King Sejo from you!
755
00:50:27,864 --> 00:50:30,203
They say you conspired with Kim Jong Jik...
756
00:50:30,204 --> 00:50:33,133
to commit treason against King Sejo!
757
00:50:33,134 --> 00:50:34,333
That is not true!
758
00:50:34,334 --> 00:50:37,163
It is true that I studied with Kim Il Son,
759
00:50:37,164 --> 00:50:40,763
but I am not Kim Jong Jik's disciple.
760
00:50:40,764 --> 00:50:43,703
Moreover, all I did was drink
a few times with Kim Il Son.
761
00:50:43,704 --> 00:50:46,064
We were not close.
762
00:50:46,734 --> 00:50:49,633
However, it is true...
763
00:50:49,634 --> 00:50:52,964
that I did relay a rumor...
764
00:50:54,264 --> 00:50:55,634
about King Sejo.
765
00:50:55,764 --> 00:50:57,303
However,
766
00:50:57,304 --> 00:50:59,504
I also heard it from someone else.
767
00:50:59,634 --> 00:51:02,133
I had no intent to commit treason!
768
00:51:02,134 --> 00:51:05,304
You heard from someone else?
From whom did you hear?
769
00:51:07,204 --> 00:51:08,634
It was...
770
00:51:09,204 --> 00:51:12,363
Say you heard the rumors about King Sejo...
771
00:51:12,364 --> 00:51:15,763
from Prince Choong Won and that
you relayed it to Kim Il Son.
772
00:51:15,764 --> 00:51:18,763
I never heard such a thing
from Prince Choong Won.
773
00:51:18,764 --> 00:51:20,064
Furthermore,
774
00:51:20,504 --> 00:51:23,233
I was merely dragged to his
poetry meetings a few times.
775
00:51:23,234 --> 00:51:24,764
Do not worry.
776
00:51:25,334 --> 00:51:28,233
I know about Prince Choong Won very well.
777
00:51:28,234 --> 00:51:29,734
Trust me.
778
00:51:30,334 --> 00:51:32,603
I will help you and make sure...
779
00:51:32,604 --> 00:51:34,264
no one suspects you.
780
00:51:34,604 --> 00:51:35,804
Still,
781
00:51:37,034 --> 00:51:39,733
how can I lie during a trial?
782
00:51:39,734 --> 00:51:42,563
It is not a lie. I will simply tell you...
783
00:51:42,564 --> 00:51:45,704
all of the treacherous acts
Prince Choong Won committed.
784
00:51:46,004 --> 00:51:48,404
All you must do it relay it.
785
00:51:50,264 --> 00:51:54,133
Prince Choong Won raped and
killed numerous young servants,
786
00:51:54,134 --> 00:51:56,904
but he never paid for his
sins because he was royalty.
787
00:51:57,004 --> 00:52:00,534
You also were dragged
to his poetry meetings,
788
00:52:00,864 --> 00:52:03,734
but despised him on the inside.
789
00:52:05,434 --> 00:52:06,804
Use this opportunity...
790
00:52:07,204 --> 00:52:10,964
to be the hand of justice and punish him.
791
00:52:12,334 --> 00:52:14,533
If you would do that,
792
00:52:14,534 --> 00:52:16,633
my words will save you...
793
00:52:16,634 --> 00:52:18,604
in the future.
794
00:52:25,034 --> 00:52:27,303
From whom did you hear it?
795
00:52:27,304 --> 00:52:28,604
I heard it...
796
00:52:32,364 --> 00:52:35,504
from Prince Choong Won!
797
00:52:39,434 --> 00:52:42,404
Have any of you met royalty before?
798
00:52:44,464 --> 00:52:46,604
It was my first time, too.
799
00:52:47,604 --> 00:52:49,764
It is the royalty's order.
800
00:52:50,534 --> 00:52:52,203
If I refuse,
801
00:52:52,204 --> 00:52:55,964
we may have to deal with
terrible consequences.
802
00:52:56,634 --> 00:52:59,004
Do not say anything.
803
00:52:59,434 --> 00:53:01,803
Just catch the wench and bring her back.
804
00:53:01,804 --> 00:53:04,733
Please kill me instead! He is a monster.
805
00:53:04,734 --> 00:53:06,863
Please do not send me to him.
806
00:53:06,864 --> 00:53:09,504
Please kill me instead! Please?
807
00:53:10,334 --> 00:53:13,633
We received a tip that Ah Mo Gae
killed Prince Choong Won's slave,
808
00:53:13,634 --> 00:53:15,734
Yeo Mi.
809
00:53:33,264 --> 00:53:36,363
Even if Lee Jong Soo does what we ask,
810
00:53:36,364 --> 00:53:39,404
they may not believe him in court.
811
00:53:42,304 --> 00:53:43,634
I will...
812
00:53:44,434 --> 00:53:46,563
leave it to fate now.
813
00:53:46,564 --> 00:53:48,734
If fate is not on our side,
814
00:53:50,464 --> 00:53:52,233
I will believe...
815
00:53:52,234 --> 00:53:54,804
fate is on Prince Choong Won's side.
816
00:53:56,004 --> 00:53:58,204
If fate is not on our side,
817
00:53:59,404 --> 00:54:01,433
I shall spit to the sky.
818
00:54:01,434 --> 00:54:03,563
Prince Choong Won...
819
00:54:03,564 --> 00:54:05,863
is Prince Yang's grandson,
820
00:54:05,864 --> 00:54:07,403
and Prince Yang...
821
00:54:07,404 --> 00:54:10,334
was very close to King Sejo.
822
00:54:11,004 --> 00:54:13,633
Why would a descendant of Prince Yang...
823
00:54:13,634 --> 00:54:15,864
have spoken something
disloyal to King Sejo?
824
00:54:17,234 --> 00:54:18,534
My lord!
825
00:54:25,904 --> 00:54:27,103
My lord.
826
00:54:27,104 --> 00:54:29,464
Since Lee Jong Soo named Prince Choong Won,
827
00:54:30,334 --> 00:54:33,134
should we not interrogate him?
828
00:54:33,864 --> 00:54:35,634
He is royalty.
829
00:54:35,864 --> 00:54:38,363
How can we make royalty stand trial?
830
00:54:38,364 --> 00:54:39,803
However,
831
00:54:39,804 --> 00:54:42,533
His Majesty ordered that we interrogate...
832
00:54:42,534 --> 00:54:43,963
anyone involved in this matter,
833
00:54:43,964 --> 00:54:46,104
regardless of rank or status.
834
00:54:46,564 --> 00:54:49,504
Everyone heard Prince
Choong Won being named.
835
00:54:50,134 --> 00:54:51,863
What if we bury it,
836
00:54:51,864 --> 00:54:55,064
and His Majesty finds out and gets angry?
837
00:54:57,504 --> 00:54:59,203
Lee Jong Soo...
838
00:54:59,204 --> 00:55:01,333
named Prince Choong Won?
839
00:55:01,334 --> 00:55:03,234
Yes, Your Majesty.
840
00:55:03,604 --> 00:55:07,363
He may have fabricated the story, but...
841
00:55:07,364 --> 00:55:10,263
He provided details and specifics...
842
00:55:10,264 --> 00:55:13,904
about meeting Prince Choong Won,
so it does not appear to be a lie.
843
00:55:14,134 --> 00:55:17,163
During these times when
your safety is in danger,
844
00:55:17,164 --> 00:55:19,103
if he escapes simply because he is royalty,
845
00:55:19,104 --> 00:55:20,533
your safety...
846
00:55:20,534 --> 00:55:22,764
may become at risk.
847
00:55:29,964 --> 00:55:33,004
If I let him go just
because he is a relative,
848
00:55:34,404 --> 00:55:36,934
who would ever fear me again?
849
00:55:39,434 --> 00:55:41,464
Interrogate Prince Choong Won.
850
00:55:42,734 --> 00:55:44,803
However, if his guilt is not proven...
851
00:55:44,804 --> 00:55:47,564
even after his interrogation,
852
00:55:50,104 --> 00:55:52,604
he will surely pay...
853
00:55:53,304 --> 00:55:55,464
for falsely accusing someone of royalty.
854
00:56:00,904 --> 00:56:02,764
The girls are not bad today.
855
00:56:24,364 --> 00:56:26,634
Is that from Stepstool?
856
00:56:26,964 --> 00:56:29,003
Stepstool...
857
00:56:29,004 --> 00:56:31,863
must be a dirty punk as well.
858
00:56:31,864 --> 00:56:33,734
That goes without saying.
859
00:56:35,634 --> 00:56:36,863
Goodness.
860
00:56:36,864 --> 00:56:39,163
Prince Choong Won, come out...
861
00:56:39,164 --> 00:56:41,404
and receive His Majesty's royal decree!
862
00:57:04,964 --> 00:57:06,133
Let go!
863
00:57:06,134 --> 00:57:08,264
What are you doing?
864
00:57:34,404 --> 00:57:36,904
Why? Why are they arresting me?
865
00:57:53,604 --> 00:57:54,804
My lord.
866
00:57:56,604 --> 00:57:59,034
Where are you going?
867
00:58:08,804 --> 00:58:10,433
The district magistrate sent word.
868
00:58:10,434 --> 00:58:12,234
Prince Choong Won is being sent to Hanyang.
869
00:58:27,334 --> 00:58:28,834
What do you think you are doing?
870
00:58:29,034 --> 00:58:30,604
Do you not know who I am?
871
00:58:44,704 --> 00:58:49,263
This is a grave situation,
so even you cannot avoid it.
872
00:58:49,264 --> 00:58:50,804
Bring me His Majesty.
873
00:58:51,504 --> 00:58:53,104
Bring me His Majesty!
874
00:58:54,604 --> 00:58:56,904
His Majesty showed you
special consideration...
875
00:58:57,704 --> 00:59:00,234
because you are royalty and
instructed us to interrogate you...
876
00:59:01,334 --> 00:59:03,094
quietly at the office
of the State Tribunal.
877
00:59:08,504 --> 00:59:10,564
- What?
- Prince Choong Won.
878
00:59:11,404 --> 00:59:13,244
You know the scholar Lee
Jong Soo, do you not?
879
00:59:14,404 --> 00:59:15,903
According to him,
880
00:59:15,904 --> 00:59:18,404
he heard you speak about King Sejo...
881
00:59:19,604 --> 00:59:22,264
while sightseeing in Mount Jeongto.
882
00:59:50,364 --> 00:59:52,164
Look here.
883
00:59:53,564 --> 00:59:56,233
Create a poem about the beautiful shape...
884
00:59:56,234 --> 00:59:58,604
of Mount Jeongto.
885
01:00:03,204 --> 01:00:05,964
Mount Jeongto!
886
01:00:09,504 --> 01:00:10,704
Yes.
887
01:00:11,634 --> 01:00:13,204
I called the scholar...
888
01:00:14,334 --> 01:00:16,834
Lee Jong Soo to some of my poetry meetings.
889
01:00:18,904 --> 01:00:21,103
But I never said such things.
890
01:00:21,104 --> 01:00:24,633
Then do you have witnesses
who will back up...
891
01:00:24,634 --> 01:00:26,504
your assertions?
892
01:00:37,334 --> 01:00:41,034
The peddler. Heo Tae Hak.
893
01:00:47,304 --> 01:00:48,304
And...
894
01:00:55,464 --> 01:00:57,504
the procurer. Stepstool!
895
01:01:05,564 --> 01:01:07,633
Goodness. How may I assist you?
896
01:01:07,634 --> 01:01:09,534
Is there a procurer named Stepstool?
897
01:01:10,064 --> 01:01:12,404
