Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,276
2
00:00:11,276 --> 00:00:58,157
Previously...
3
00:00:59,391 --> 00:01:02,638
They can't make a deal with Lee Do.
4
00:01:03,242 --> 00:01:05,494
Lee Shin Jeok must be stopped.
5
00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:10,135
Go and halt it at once!
6
00:01:10,135 --> 00:01:11,870
RIGHT NOW!
7
00:01:13,372 --> 00:01:15,711
Chapter 17
8
00:01:15,711 --> 00:01:19,140
These letters must never go into the world.
9
00:01:19,140 --> 00:01:21,747
Contact Lee Shin Jeok immediately.
10
00:01:21,747 --> 00:01:23,415
What?
11
00:01:29,221 --> 00:01:44,803
12
00:01:54,094 --> 00:01:57,549
Right-State Minister has already entered the palace.
13
00:01:58,017 --> 00:01:59,968
No matter what you have to do, you must relate the message to him.
14
00:01:59,968 --> 00:02:01,487
Got it?
15
00:02:04,690 --> 00:02:06,258
Sir!
16
00:02:12,732 --> 00:02:14,875
What's going on?
17
00:02:14,875 --> 00:02:17,569
An urgent message.
18
00:02:27,479 --> 00:02:29,014
Your Excellency!
19
00:02:30,549 --> 00:02:32,051
Your Excellency!
20
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,594
That is...
21
00:02:44,263 --> 00:02:45,230
Right-State Minister.
22
00:02:45,230 --> 00:02:47,533
A moment.
23
00:02:50,769 --> 00:02:53,806
It's Bonwon's command to halt it.
24
00:02:53,806 --> 00:02:55,046
Lee Shin Jeok.
[ Right-State Minister, Level One ]
25
00:02:55,046 --> 00:02:56,375
What do you mean?
26
00:02:56,375 --> 00:02:59,211
In the end, all that...
was His Majesty's plan.
27
00:02:59,211 --> 00:03:01,262
You must not accept the deal.
28
00:03:01,262 --> 00:03:04,583
It seems he also put in an order to have
the officials return to their posts in court.
29
00:03:04,583 --> 00:03:07,653
Hey, what the heck are you talking about?
30
00:03:07,653 --> 00:03:09,233
His Majesty's plan?
31
00:03:09,233 --> 00:03:12,691
I don't know anything either,
only that it is an urgent order.
32
00:03:16,595 --> 00:03:18,130
Your Majesty.
33
00:03:18,130 --> 00:03:23,535
Prime-Minister Hwang Hui and Right-State
Minister Lee Shin Jeok are entering.
34
00:03:29,241 --> 00:03:31,577
Your Majesty.
35
00:03:31,577 --> 00:03:36,415
We've related the message
to your subjects before today.
36
00:03:37,783 --> 00:03:41,954
Have you come to a decision?
37
00:03:45,891 --> 00:03:47,760
Throughout the night...
38
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,398
I've agonized over it without sleeping.
39
00:03:53,499 --> 00:03:54,633
In the end, I...
40
00:03:54,633 --> 00:03:56,969
Your Majesty.
41
00:03:56,969 --> 00:04:04,176
Your humble subject also thought deeply
throughout the night without slumber.
42
00:04:05,144 --> 00:04:11,650
In regards to the opposition from the
officials toward Your Majesty's letters...
43
00:04:11,650 --> 00:04:19,058
Your humble subject has not the
confidence to persuade them.
44
00:04:19,558 --> 00:04:22,928
What are you about to say right now?
45
00:04:22,928 --> 00:04:30,903
I've come to the conclusion that I do not have
the pretext to persuade them in the first place.
46
00:04:32,604 --> 00:04:35,170
Therefore, your humble subject shall...
47
00:04:35,170 --> 00:04:40,534
So that the upcoming state exam can be carried
out without an inch of laxity, I shall gather the officials.
48
00:04:40,534 --> 00:04:44,416
And work hard to have them
attend their court posts.
49
00:04:44,416 --> 00:04:48,220
Please grant your royal permission.
50
00:04:56,729 --> 00:04:58,030
How did it go?
51
00:04:58,030 --> 00:05:00,632
I did as you said for now, but
what in the world is going on?
52
00:05:00,632 --> 00:05:04,169
I don't know the details either,
except to relate the next order.
53
00:05:04,169 --> 00:05:05,938
What next order?
54
00:05:05,938 --> 00:05:10,581
He said to bring the exam theme
that will be used tomorrow.
55
00:05:10,581 --> 00:05:13,221
Exam theme?
56
00:05:14,646 --> 00:05:18,150
Why did RIght-State Minister
change his attitude suddenly?
57
00:05:19,885 --> 00:05:23,055
What exactly is the reason?
58
00:05:24,356 --> 00:05:28,427
I don't know either.
59
00:05:28,427 --> 00:05:30,929
Why suddenly...?
60
00:05:33,298 --> 00:05:36,802
Milbon.
61
00:05:36,802 --> 00:05:40,488
Milbon is manipulating this circumstance?
62
00:05:40,939 --> 00:05:47,880
Right now, Milbon and the aristocrats concur.
63
00:05:48,290 --> 00:05:53,852
Whether the aristocrats speak for
Milbon or Milbon speaks for aristocrats...
64
00:05:53,852 --> 00:05:57,923
is not something separable.
65
00:06:05,164 --> 00:06:06,632
Ride a horse at once
66
00:06:06,632 --> 00:06:09,835
and go find Lee Bang Ji in Hamgildo.
67
00:06:09,835 --> 00:06:11,092
Why the master?
68
00:06:11,092 --> 00:06:13,439
Lee Bang Ji's strength is needed.
69
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:16,575
Do you think Lee Bang Ji would join our cause?
70
00:06:16,575 --> 00:06:19,778
Don't we have Kang Chae Yoon with us?
71
00:06:20,946 --> 00:06:25,558
The fact that Lee Bang Ji took in a
disciple is a perplexing matter in itself.
72
00:06:25,558 --> 00:06:27,453
He isn't someone who would do so.
73
00:06:27,653 --> 00:06:31,590
Surely he holds an affinity
toward Kang Chae Yoon.
74
00:06:32,091 --> 00:06:35,994
And that's the reason he sent his
subordinate to Kang Chae Yoon too.
75
00:06:36,829 --> 00:06:39,465
Go and relate to him that Kang
Chae Yoon has joined our cause.
76
00:06:39,465 --> 00:06:44,636
Then, even if he doesn't
join us, he will come.
77
00:06:47,573 --> 00:06:49,408
What about Kang Chae Yoon?
78
00:06:49,408 --> 00:06:53,212
To verify the validity of Kang Chae Yoon's
words, I am looking into various channels.
79
00:06:53,212 --> 00:06:56,766
Until now, I have not come
into anything suspicious.
80
00:06:56,766 --> 00:06:58,751
That punk's goal...
81
00:06:59,852 --> 00:07:01,920
is to kill the King, did you say?
82
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,355
Yes.
83
00:07:03,355 --> 00:07:06,625
That punk said so himself.
84
00:07:10,462 --> 00:07:12,865
Lee Do.
85
00:07:16,035 --> 00:07:18,470
I was ready to go as far
as giving up Jiphyunjeon...
86
00:07:18,470 --> 00:07:19,938
to promulgate the letters!
87
00:07:19,938 --> 00:07:21,807
What's wrong?
88
00:07:21,807 --> 00:07:25,048
That final hour when I didn't even
know if Gwangpyung had died or not,
89
00:07:25,048 --> 00:07:28,577
I offered Gwangpyung to them for that decision!
90
00:07:28,981 --> 00:07:33,686
Giving up my Jiphyunjeon to
choose promulgation of the letters,
91
00:07:33,686 --> 00:07:36,522
it was going to be my once
in a lifetime decisive win!
92
00:07:37,022 --> 00:07:40,292
But those guys rejected it!
93
00:07:40,292 --> 00:07:42,494
They didn't take it!
94
00:07:42,494 --> 00:07:44,396
Exactly why?
95
00:07:44,396 --> 00:07:47,266
How?
For what reason?
96
00:07:52,335 --> 00:07:56,505
It's the theme for tomorrow's state exam.
97
00:07:59,152 --> 00:08:02,558
We were on the verge
of getting it achieved.
98
00:08:02,558 --> 00:08:04,913
Hence, why did you halt it?
99
00:08:05,281 --> 00:08:08,918
In exchange for the promulgation of
letters, we get Jiphyunjeon abolished.
100
00:08:08,918 --> 00:08:12,922
It was our golden opportunity to
materialize the power of State Council.
101
00:08:12,922 --> 00:08:14,981
That was the King's stratagem.
102
00:08:14,981 --> 00:08:16,119
What stratagem?
103
00:08:16,119 --> 00:08:19,738
A stratagem to promulgate the letters.
104
00:08:19,738 --> 00:08:21,367
Bonwon!
105
00:08:21,367 --> 00:08:24,316
Why are aristocrats aristocrats?
106
00:08:24,316 --> 00:08:26,302
Why do you ask that suddenly?
107
00:08:26,302 --> 00:08:29,038
Try and answer, Lee Shin Jeok!
108
00:08:29,038 --> 00:08:32,343
Why are aristocrats aristocrats!?
109
00:08:32,343 --> 00:08:36,383
Because they are scholar-turned-bureaucrats versed
in Chinese characters and Confucianism, right?
110
00:08:36,383 --> 00:08:37,915
Yes.
111
00:08:37,915 --> 00:08:40,523
They've become the core of power...
112
00:08:40,523 --> 00:08:42,563
since China's Sung Dynasty.
113
00:08:42,563 --> 00:08:45,755
Confucian scholars became bureaucrats
and they came to rule the nation.
114
00:08:45,755 --> 00:08:47,757
Understanding Confucianism was a key.
115
00:08:47,757 --> 00:08:49,858
Knowing Chinese characters was a core.
116
00:08:49,858 --> 00:08:51,545
That is why we...
117
00:08:51,545 --> 00:08:53,480
unlike the nobles of previous
dynasty, Goryeo...
118
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,916
we do not rule the nation through
blood and hereditary successions.
119
00:08:56,916 --> 00:08:58,417
Through state exams,
120
00:08:58,735 --> 00:09:00,403
these aristocrats picked by their skills,
121
00:09:00,403 --> 00:09:01,878
are the ones who run the court.
122
00:09:01,878 --> 00:09:03,206
That is...
123
00:09:03,973 --> 00:09:05,408
Joseon's ideal.
124
00:09:05,408 --> 00:09:08,043
Yes, but?
125
00:09:08,043 --> 00:09:09,014
So?
126
00:09:09,014 --> 00:09:11,480
Don't you know?
127
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,817
Writing and power go hand in hand.
128
00:09:15,817 --> 00:09:17,987
All the Sino-affliated nations,
129
00:09:17,987 --> 00:09:21,090
are established in that hierarchy. However!
130
00:09:21,657 --> 00:09:23,526
However...
131
00:09:24,727 --> 00:09:27,229
If the letters are promulgated,
132
00:09:28,397 --> 00:09:31,062
that root will wobble.
133
00:09:32,738 --> 00:09:36,171
The King is trying to shake it.
134
00:09:37,607 --> 00:09:41,711
The King, in abandoning that
beloved Jiphyunjeon of his,
135
00:09:41,711 --> 00:09:44,646
you don't think he will demand anything?
136
00:09:44,646 --> 00:09:48,384
Various offices to speed up the
circulation of letters, without a doubt,
137
00:09:48,384 --> 00:09:50,286
and likely the state exam as well.
138
00:09:50,286 --> 00:09:53,355
He may ask for those letters
to be written then, too.
139
00:09:54,190 --> 00:09:55,458
This matter,
140
00:09:55,458 --> 00:10:00,830
is one that will shake the system of
officialdom itself. Don't you know that?
141
00:10:00,830 --> 00:10:04,934
The power of writing will be shared
to all and order will be collapsed.
142
00:10:04,934 --> 00:10:06,736
And the nation will enter into chaos.
143
00:10:06,736 --> 00:10:07,937
Look at Phags-pa!
144
00:10:07,937 --> 00:10:09,572
No one will use it.
145
00:10:09,572 --> 00:10:11,641
A world where everyone uses writing?
146
00:10:11,641 --> 00:10:15,210
That is the same as
sun rising from the west!
147
00:10:15,210 --> 00:10:18,547
Didn't you say that, Bonwon?
148
00:10:19,649 --> 00:10:24,720
These are letters that will make
the sun rise from the west!
149
00:10:31,066 --> 00:10:32,695
Milbon is... no...
150
00:10:32,695 --> 00:10:36,799
If Jeong Gi Joon inherited
the will of Jeong Do Jeon,
151
00:10:36,799 --> 00:10:40,336
then the target has to be
Jiphyunjeon for certain.
152
00:10:41,037 --> 00:10:43,372
But why did Jeong Gi Joon...
153
00:10:43,372 --> 00:10:46,709
knock away this opportunity?
154
00:10:47,510 --> 00:10:49,946
For what exactly?
155
00:10:50,813 --> 00:10:54,550
Then he has a different aim?
156
00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:55,718
Your Majesty.
157
00:10:56,285 --> 00:10:58,921
It could just be a trial of strength.
158
00:11:00,623 --> 00:11:02,722
Moo Hyool,
159
00:11:02,722 --> 00:11:05,228
when you engage in a swordfight,
160
00:11:05,228 --> 00:11:09,565
what if you make a great
blow but the blow misses?
161
00:11:09,565 --> 00:11:10,867
What happens?
162
00:11:10,867 --> 00:11:13,436
Then an enormous counterattack
163
00:11:14,404 --> 00:11:16,472
will probably come.
164
00:11:17,206 --> 00:11:18,808
Right.
165
00:11:19,542 --> 00:11:24,113
When a great blow misses,
it divides life and death.
166
00:11:25,314 --> 00:11:28,851
Right now, my one
great blow missed.
167
00:11:29,786 --> 00:11:31,687
What exactly is it?
168
00:11:32,288 --> 00:11:35,491
What counterattack
169
00:11:35,491 --> 00:11:37,826
is coming?
170
00:11:44,033 --> 00:11:46,836
Letters that will make the
sun rise from the west?
171
00:11:46,836 --> 00:11:47,737
Yes.
172
00:11:47,737 --> 00:11:49,905
What does that mean, Bonwon?
173
00:11:49,905 --> 00:11:52,942
A delusion that everyone
believes impossible...
174
00:11:52,942 --> 00:11:54,610
Letters that will materialize it.
175
00:11:54,610 --> 00:11:57,073
Are they such great letters?
176
00:11:57,073 --> 00:11:59,418
What kind of letters are they then?
177
00:11:59,418 --> 00:12:01,354
Show us.
178
00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:04,527
These letters... no one, no
matter who, can know them.
179
00:12:04,527 --> 00:12:06,520
If someone learns them,
whoever it may be,
180
00:12:06,756 --> 00:12:09,317
these letters are capable of
spreading like an epidemic.
181
00:12:09,317 --> 00:12:12,607
Right, great!
182
00:12:12,607 --> 00:12:16,004
Let's say every citizen
knows these letters.
183
00:12:16,004 --> 00:12:18,798
Does that make them
government officials?
184
00:12:19,298 --> 00:12:22,151
In this Joseon, the nation of
aristocrats and Confucianism,
185
00:12:22,151 --> 00:12:24,055
not even Chinese characters but those letters,
186
00:12:24,055 --> 00:12:27,069
just because they know them a bit,
they can operate the government?
187
00:12:27,439 --> 00:12:29,867
Those who learn these letters,
188
00:12:29,867 --> 00:12:31,764
will keep Chinese characters away.
189
00:12:31,764 --> 00:12:34,679
And if Chinese characters are kept aloof,
190
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,015
Neo-Confucianism will be kept away.
191
00:12:37,015 --> 00:12:38,876
Then?
192
00:12:38,876 --> 00:12:41,053
Even if it's not immediate,
193
00:12:41,053 --> 00:12:44,055
in a few hundred years,
it is hard to say.
194
00:12:44,423 --> 00:12:46,458
Neither Chinese characters
nor Neo-Confucianism,
195
00:12:46,458 --> 00:12:48,460
those things who don't even know the Three
Bonds and Five Relationships (Confucianism),
196
00:12:48,460 --> 00:12:50,829
a world where they become
bureaucrats may come!
197
00:12:50,829 --> 00:12:52,598
Is that it?
198
00:12:52,598 --> 00:12:55,367
Once they know writing, they will
naturally know the joy of reading.
199
00:12:55,367 --> 00:12:57,669
If they know the joy of reading,
they will wake up.
200
00:12:57,669 --> 00:12:59,774
Once they awake,
201
00:12:59,774 --> 00:13:01,673
they will know the joy of writing.
202
00:13:01,673 --> 00:13:03,342
Bonwon! For what...
203
00:13:03,342 --> 00:13:07,079
In addition! Once human beings
know the joy of writing,
204
00:13:07,079 --> 00:13:10,748
they will want to express
themselves to the world.
205
00:13:11,149 --> 00:13:16,455
And that is how power
will shift. Don't you know?
206
00:13:16,822 --> 00:13:18,790
Right now, Lee Do...
207
00:13:18,790 --> 00:13:22,394
is about to hand power to all the people.
208
00:13:22,394 --> 00:13:27,799
Lee Do is trying to do
such an irresponsible deed!
209
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,570
Lee Do loves the people?
210
00:13:31,570 --> 00:13:34,172
Tell him to shove that joke.
211
00:13:34,773 --> 00:13:38,110
When the King or the officials do
wrong, they are held accountable.
212
00:13:38,110 --> 00:13:41,313
But if a citizen does wrong,
what do you think will happen?
213
00:13:41,313 --> 00:13:43,615
Will you say that the
citizens are accountable,
214
00:13:43,615 --> 00:13:46,284
and replace them all?
215
00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:49,654
You exaggerate and jump too much.
216
00:13:49,654 --> 00:13:52,724
Even if that really happens in reality,
217
00:13:52,724 --> 00:13:57,429
Bonwon or me, will we live
another 50 or a 100 years?
218
00:13:57,429 --> 00:14:00,298
Even if it materalizes, it will
be after a few hundred years.
219
00:14:00,298 --> 00:14:02,300
So in a few hundred years,
220
00:14:02,300 --> 00:14:05,637
it's okay for Joseon and
Neo-Confucianism to disappear?
221
00:14:05,637 --> 00:14:09,441
Did you lose your sense of reality
after living as a boor for too long?
222
00:14:09,441 --> 00:14:12,077
Why are you like this exactly?
223
00:14:12,344 --> 00:14:15,981
If the world where everyone writes comes,
224
00:14:15,981 --> 00:14:19,017
the aristocrats will lose power,
225
00:14:19,284 --> 00:14:22,053
and if aristocrats lose power,
226
00:14:22,053 --> 00:14:24,523
then Neo-Confucianism can't lead Joseon.
227
00:14:24,523 --> 00:14:28,293
And if Neo-Confucianism can't lead Joseon,
228
00:14:30,829 --> 00:14:32,631
then Joseon...
229
00:14:34,332 --> 00:14:36,234
is ruined is what that means.
230
00:14:39,438 --> 00:14:41,973
The letters
231
00:14:43,241 --> 00:14:44,910
must be blocked.
232
00:14:45,577 --> 00:14:47,879
Then?
233
00:14:47,879 --> 00:14:51,616
Bonwon, you really believe
stopping the letters
234
00:14:51,616 --> 00:14:55,987
takes precedence over materializing
a de facto parliament system?
235
00:15:01,093 --> 00:15:04,196
It is not a matter of which is first.
236
00:15:04,196 --> 00:15:07,432
This is a matter of life and death!
237
00:15:27,252 --> 00:15:29,387
Your Majesty.
238
00:15:30,088 --> 00:15:36,227
Do you conclude that they have
become aware of the letters?
239
00:15:36,862 --> 00:15:39,398
If that is the case,
240
00:15:40,432 --> 00:15:44,202
just what might happen in the future...
241
00:15:49,341 --> 00:15:51,443
How are those scum aristocrats?
242
00:15:51,443 --> 00:15:55,380
They can't even see an inch in front of
them but they dare to spearhead Joseon?
243
00:15:55,380 --> 00:15:57,249
Those clueless punks...
244
00:15:57,249 --> 00:16:01,186
how are they Neo-Confucianists
spearheading Joseon?
245
00:16:01,186 --> 00:16:02,387
However...
246
00:16:02,387 --> 00:16:05,958
Bonwon you must pull them all with you.
247
00:16:05,958 --> 00:16:11,663
Milbon members' personal goal must
be the same as Milbon's goal right now.
248
00:16:11,663 --> 00:16:16,601
But for you to say that getting rid of the letters takes
precedence over a de facto parliament system...
249
00:16:16,601 --> 00:16:19,538
You don't know either, punk?
250
00:16:19,538 --> 00:16:25,210
When Gaepayi and Yeondu learned writing
in just two days, why were you so startled?
251
00:16:25,210 --> 00:16:27,846
That's because...
To teach children Chinese characters,
252
00:16:27,846 --> 00:16:29,948
why do we have them finish the
Thousand-Character Classic first?
253
00:16:29,948 --> 00:16:32,951
And next, have them finish Minor
Learning and Mindful Examplar first,
254
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:35,053
before we teach them composition?
255
00:16:35,554 --> 00:16:38,990
Because a person without refinement
should not be writing words.
256
00:16:38,990 --> 00:16:42,026
Because writing
257
00:16:42,026 --> 00:16:43,428
is a weapon.
258
00:16:44,296 --> 00:16:49,067
What will happen if those who
are not cultured write at their whim?
259
00:16:49,067 --> 00:16:53,739
Then words can carelessly kill or save people.
260
00:16:53,739 --> 00:16:58,109
That is how scary writing is.
261
00:17:00,178 --> 00:17:03,048
But this writing Lee Do made,
262
00:17:03,515 --> 00:17:08,252
can be learned in just two
days by uncultured people.
263
00:17:08,252 --> 00:17:09,821
Right.
264
00:17:10,088 --> 00:17:12,991
When you punk saw
Gaepayi and Yeondu,
265
00:17:12,991 --> 00:17:16,728
you instinctively felt that terror.
266
00:17:17,429 --> 00:17:22,534
Lee Do is trying to put out
that colossal thing into the world.
267
00:17:22,534 --> 00:17:23,602
However!
268
00:17:23,602 --> 00:17:29,540
How is it that those aristocratic
punks don't know that?
269
00:17:31,865 --> 00:17:35,846
He's lived as a boor for so long, he's
lost his sense of reality. Isn't that right?
270
00:17:35,846 --> 00:17:37,359
What exactly is the
likes of those letters,
271
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,842
that we would lose power
because of them?
272
00:17:40,842 --> 00:17:45,021
If you look and foresee into
the future, he isn't wrong.
273
00:17:45,021 --> 00:17:46,415
What?
274
00:17:46,415 --> 00:17:51,795
As Bonwon says, the reason we can dominate
the citizens, is because of the strength of writing.
275
00:17:51,795 --> 00:17:52,629
So?
276
00:17:52,629 --> 00:17:58,035
Because we know writing, we rise in prestige,
have dominion and stand above the citizens.
277
00:17:58,035 --> 00:18:03,551
But if Yangmin (commoners), Nobi (slaves) and
Cheonmin (low-births) all come to know writing,
278
00:18:03,551 --> 00:18:06,416
in the end we will be sharing
the power we grasp.
279
00:18:06,416 --> 00:18:09,249
You don't know what power is?
280
00:18:09,249 --> 00:18:15,022
Power is power because it can
be exchanged for something!
281
00:18:15,022 --> 00:18:17,761
Once we have established the
de facto parliament system,
282
00:18:17,761 --> 00:18:21,225
we can just change the issue
of the letters to suit us.
283
00:18:21,225 --> 00:18:24,077
To give up our goal just
to block some letters?
284
00:18:24,077 --> 00:18:27,375
There is no reason to commit
such a foolish deed.
285
00:18:27,375 --> 00:18:30,579
Those who hesitate before power
will not gain power in the end.
286
00:18:30,579 --> 00:18:34,015
Instead they will fail by that power.
287
00:18:34,015 --> 00:18:37,824
The reason why Teacher
Sambong made Milbon is
288
00:18:37,824 --> 00:18:42,653
for the sake of the aristocrats
to continue their hold on power.
289
00:18:42,653 --> 00:18:44,766
But you know that!
290
00:18:49,086 --> 00:18:51,245
What, the deal was halted?
291
00:18:51,245 --> 00:18:52,638
What are you talking about?
292
00:18:52,638 --> 00:18:56,727
It seems likely that Milbon knows about the letters.
293
00:18:56,727 --> 00:18:58,328
The letters?
294
00:18:58,328 --> 00:19:01,265
You mean the deal was
really halted over the letters?
295
00:19:01,265 --> 00:19:03,300
They must have come to understand
296
00:19:03,300 --> 00:19:07,404
what might happen once His
Majesty's writing entered the world.
297
00:19:07,404 --> 00:19:12,050
They must believe the citizens
will snatch their power.
298
00:19:12,050 --> 00:19:16,046
Why would the citizens snatch their power
too just because they know some writing?
299
00:19:16,046 --> 00:19:21,285
But it's true! Do we become a noble or an
aristocrat just because we know writing?
300
00:19:21,285 --> 00:19:24,888
Whether we know writing or not,
the low ones are still low ones.
301
00:19:25,755 --> 00:19:29,393
But it seems the aristocrats don't view it so.
302
00:19:29,393 --> 00:19:35,499
Hence they will do whatever it
takes to stop the promulgation.
303
00:19:35,499 --> 00:19:40,437
His Majesty also said this won't end here.
304
00:19:50,447 --> 00:20:16,240
305
00:20:20,288 --> 00:20:22,267
[ Sungkyunkwan Academy ]
306
00:20:43,443 --> 00:20:46,741
Nothing particular happened at the exam plaza?
307
00:20:46,741 --> 00:20:47,641
Correct.
308
00:20:47,641 --> 00:20:53,149
I've received no report.
309
00:20:55,679 --> 00:21:00,487
Prime-Minister Lord Hwang Hui is entering.
310
00:21:34,620 --> 00:21:41,091
At this year's Sogwa (preliminary) exam,
there were a total of 17,025 test-takers.
311
00:21:41,091 --> 00:21:46,263
These are the selected answer scripts among them.
312
00:21:50,249 --> 00:21:54,404
May Your Majesty appoint the first-place winner.
313
00:22:46,952 --> 00:22:49,978
I can't tell which household this man is from.
314
00:22:49,978 --> 00:22:56,133
But his learning is high and
his insights are outstanding.
315
00:22:56,133 --> 00:23:02,773
To know that Joseon has
such a talent is such a joy.
316
00:23:05,117 --> 00:23:10,333
Then... I name this man
as the first-place winner.
317
00:23:29,333 --> 00:23:36,757
First-place winner, Seo Yong.
318
00:24:10,741 --> 00:24:13,644
You must be from a
prestigious household.
319
00:24:13,644 --> 00:24:14,945
So then,
320
00:24:14,945 --> 00:24:17,581
which household's son are you?
321
00:24:17,581 --> 00:24:19,250
This humble person...
322
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,598
What?
323
00:25:08,665 --> 00:25:14,971
This humble person is a slave living
in Banchon, named Seo Yong.
324
00:25:19,309 --> 00:25:20,044
Banchon?
325
00:25:20,044 --> 00:25:21,245
Banchon?
326
00:25:26,016 --> 00:25:27,751
How?
327
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,922
A slave?
328
00:25:37,528 --> 00:25:39,696
What?
329
00:25:39,696 --> 00:25:42,132
Who's living where?
330
00:25:43,434 --> 00:25:48,138
Slave of Banchon, Seo Yong.
331
00:25:49,573 --> 00:25:51,575
A slave?
332
00:25:52,943 --> 00:25:54,578
What?
333
00:25:54,578 --> 00:25:59,839
Though I've learned writing since
my youth, I had no place to advance.
334
00:25:59,839 --> 00:26:01,585
However,
335
00:26:01,585 --> 00:26:04,822
I heard Your Majesty created letters,
336
00:26:04,822 --> 00:26:08,692
creating a world where
everyone knows writing.
337
00:26:08,692 --> 00:26:10,760
So I came.
338
00:26:19,436 --> 00:26:25,409
I've demonstrated all my
talents to Your Majesty.
339
00:26:25,409 --> 00:26:28,278
I have no regret even if I die.
340
00:26:32,883 --> 00:26:34,485
That!
341
00:26:37,388 --> 00:26:40,190
So this was it,
342
00:26:40,190 --> 00:26:43,127
Jeong Gi Joon.
343
00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:47,743
This is the biggest incident
since the founding of Joseon.
344
00:26:47,743 --> 00:26:50,955
How could a slave intrude
into the exam plaza?
345
00:26:50,955 --> 00:26:54,659
And what?
Make the first-place grade?
346
00:26:54,659 --> 00:26:58,075
Hey, even when Jang Yeong Shil
was given the Daehogun title,
347
00:26:58,075 --> 00:27:02,391
"How can a slave be entitled Daehogun.
Please show discernment, Your Majesty!"
348
00:27:02,391 --> 00:27:04,760
There was Your Majesty here
and there everywhere.
349
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,873
A complete panic all over the palace.
350
00:27:07,873 --> 00:27:09,406
Yeah!
351
00:27:09,406 --> 00:27:11,783
Me too. To hear a slave took place first,
352
00:27:11,783 --> 00:27:14,234
I don't feel so great either.
353
00:27:14,234 --> 00:27:15,705
That's what I'm saying!
354
00:27:15,705 --> 00:27:19,809
I suffered so much to follow my mom's
dying wish to come all the way here.
355
00:27:19,809 --> 00:27:23,212
But now even a slave throws
his spoon on my rice bowl?
356
00:27:23,212 --> 00:27:28,317
His Majesty also said it won't end here.
357
00:27:28,317 --> 00:27:29,685
Writing?
358
00:27:29,685 --> 00:27:31,821
Is that truly,
359
00:27:31,821 --> 00:27:33,556
such a big deal?
360
00:27:33,556 --> 00:27:36,092
It looks like all the Confucian
scholars heard and stood up.
361
00:27:36,092 --> 00:27:37,260
That's what I'm saying.
362
00:27:38,327 --> 00:27:44,867
A slave? What is to become of Joseon?
363
00:27:44,867 --> 00:27:47,770
The national law allows up to a Yangin
(commoner) to take the civil exam.
364
00:27:47,770 --> 00:27:52,842
And even though we have a few like Yoon Sang of
Sungkyunkwan who passed despite being a Yangin,
365
00:27:52,842 --> 00:27:55,011
we've never had one to place a grade.
366
00:27:55,011 --> 00:27:56,479
However!
367
00:27:56,479 --> 00:28:01,117
A slave?
And a grade of first-place at that?
368
00:28:01,117 --> 00:28:03,810
This is something that can never be!
369
00:28:03,810 --> 00:28:08,269
Since we've had the incident of His Majesty placing
Jang Yeong Shil into the title of Daehogun before,
370
00:28:08,269 --> 00:28:11,101
we have an incident of today, isn't that right?
371
00:28:14,430 --> 00:28:20,250
It's nothing for you all to
fuss over, so be quiet.
372
00:28:20,250 --> 00:28:23,039
How will you settle the matter?
373
00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:27,176
Slave Seo Yong will face the law.
374
00:28:27,176 --> 00:28:32,046
The Royal Investigation Bureau is to
send him to Tamra Island at once.
375
00:28:38,487 --> 00:28:43,259
Minister Lee, why do you have no answer?
376
00:28:45,127 --> 00:28:49,925
Yes, I shall see to it done.
377
00:28:49,925 --> 00:28:57,309
In addition, it is not a matter that will gain from yacking.
So treat it as a slave without a sound mind,
378
00:28:57,309 --> 00:29:01,689
intruding the exam plaza and that's it.
Everyone understand?
379
00:29:01,689 --> 00:29:03,393
Yes.
380
00:29:06,490 --> 00:29:12,495
What are you trying to start, Jeong Gi Joon?
381
00:29:13,056 --> 00:29:14,257
Chief Scholar.
382
00:29:14,257 --> 00:29:16,225
What are you talking about?
383
00:29:16,225 --> 00:29:19,295
To put the second place
as the first-place-winner?
384
00:29:19,295 --> 00:29:21,497
It was the State Council's decision.
385
00:29:21,497 --> 00:29:29,135
Furthurmore, Slave Seo Yong will be sent to
Tamra Island, so everyone is to remain silent on it.
386
00:29:29,135 --> 00:29:30,607
What?
387
00:29:30,607 --> 00:29:33,276
You mean to say you will bury your
head in the sand like an ostrich?
388
00:29:33,276 --> 00:29:36,812
The story of slave Seo Yong is already
widely dug around the palace.
389
00:29:36,812 --> 00:29:42,151
How do you intend to soothe the resentment
of the aristocrats and the fury of the scholars?
390
00:29:42,151 --> 00:29:44,320
The national discipline derranged by that punk,
391
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,223
how will you fix it?
392
00:29:48,057 --> 00:29:50,493
This is a palace matter.
393
00:29:50,493 --> 00:29:53,229
Because His Majesty said he was creating letters,
394
00:29:53,229 --> 00:29:57,566
a mere slave came to violate the court!
395
00:29:57,566 --> 00:29:59,001
This is precisely,
396
00:29:59,001 --> 00:30:03,072
because His Majesty's writing can
make a slave fit for a government post.
397
00:30:03,072 --> 00:30:08,077
This is a warning that even a slave
can become the Prime Minister!
398
00:30:08,077 --> 00:30:13,282
The promulgation of the letters
can, on no account, happen!
399
00:30:19,755 --> 00:30:21,624
Your Majesty,
400
00:30:21,624 --> 00:30:25,628
slave Seo Yong will be dispatched
to Tamra Island at once,
401
00:30:25,628 --> 00:30:32,101
and I will dispose of the matter
so that it will not expand.
402
00:30:32,101 --> 00:30:37,106
Now the matter will soon go into slumber.
403
00:30:37,106 --> 00:30:40,543
Please appease your worries.
404
00:30:41,778 --> 00:30:44,423
This is not the end.
405
00:30:46,182 --> 00:30:51,053
They will certainly not stop here.
406
00:30:53,389 --> 00:30:56,225
Jeong Gi Joon.
407
00:30:56,225 --> 00:30:59,128
How far will you go?
408
00:31:03,132 --> 00:31:05,251
You scum!
409
00:31:05,251 --> 00:31:10,005
You scum was told to copy the book!
Were you told to read to learn?
410
00:31:10,005 --> 00:31:11,374
It wasn't me.
411
00:31:11,374 --> 00:31:15,778
Aren't you trying to disdain
the aristocrats like Seo Yong?!
412
00:31:15,778 --> 00:31:16,812
It's not so!
413
00:31:16,812 --> 00:31:19,787
That punk Seo Yong is out of his mind.
414
00:31:27,556 --> 00:31:30,092
You shitheels!
415
00:31:32,428 --> 00:31:34,697
Aigo.
416
00:31:34,697 --> 00:31:36,899
We deserve to die.
417
00:31:37,767 --> 00:31:39,035
My Lord.
418
00:31:40,703 --> 00:31:45,508
You punks are looking at the likes of these books
to disdain the nobles like the slave Seo Yong!
419
00:31:45,508 --> 00:31:49,445
My Lord, please spare us.
420
00:31:49,445 --> 00:31:57,486
Just because you are Sungkyunkwan slaves
and you enter and dwell in Sungkyunkwan, have
you dared to embrace such traitorous minds?!
421
00:31:58,487 --> 00:32:04,427
Neo-Confucianism isn't some learning made
to be read by the likes of you lowly slaves!
422
00:32:07,663 --> 00:32:12,802
Cho Tak, you've seen that look before, right?
423
00:32:13,870 --> 00:32:17,473
It's the gaze we saw in the battle fields.
424
00:32:17,473 --> 00:32:23,779
When all the comrades die and you're
left alone to go nuts. It's that look.
425
00:32:23,779 --> 00:32:25,147
It's true.
426
00:32:25,147 --> 00:32:27,083
It's that gaze.
427
00:32:32,422 --> 00:32:37,960
For slaves to know a little writing...
is that such a...
428
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,631
thing that makes the nobles so furious?
429
00:32:46,569 --> 00:32:51,774
Did Milbon aim for this chaos?
430
00:32:51,774 --> 00:32:56,279
This incident, not to mention the scholars,
but the entire aristocracy are thrown into anger.
431
00:32:56,279 --> 00:32:58,281
It is not anger.
432
00:33:00,316 --> 00:33:03,085
It is terror.
433
00:33:04,587 --> 00:33:11,460
But they themselves might
think they are enraged.
434
00:33:11,460 --> 00:33:19,101
However, it is because they deem
writing their knowledge and authority,
435
00:33:19,101 --> 00:33:23,372
and their sole domain.
436
00:33:23,372 --> 00:33:28,077
They feel terror instinctively
and that's why.
437
00:33:28,077 --> 00:33:33,849
Then, you mean this
is not the end either?
438
00:33:33,849 --> 00:33:39,455
Then is promulgation an impossibility?
439
00:33:43,793 --> 00:33:48,364
I will have to employ
a different strategy.
440
00:33:48,364 --> 00:33:51,567
However,
441
00:33:51,567 --> 00:33:54,971
I need to prepare emotionally.
442
00:33:59,675 --> 00:34:03,312
What do you think of this incident?
443
00:34:03,312 --> 00:34:05,781
Joseon is ruined.
444
00:34:05,781 --> 00:34:09,652
It is a matter that should
never and could never happen.
445
00:34:09,652 --> 00:34:11,554
Are you prepared for it?
446
00:34:11,554 --> 00:34:13,656
Of course.
447
00:34:14,857 --> 00:34:19,428
I had planned to come forward,
even without your order.
448
00:34:20,496 --> 00:34:24,600
It's scary.
Isn't it like we're going to war?
449
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,736
I mean if,
450
00:34:26,736 --> 00:34:30,139
the world that everyone
knows writing comes...
451
00:34:30,139 --> 00:34:32,808
How can a day like that come?
452
00:34:32,808 --> 00:34:34,877
I mean, if it comes.
453
00:34:34,877 --> 00:34:40,816
If it comes, then will that day when a slave
can make a grade on the civil exam come too?
454
00:34:40,816 --> 00:34:44,520
Well a slave is not
allowed by law, so no.
455
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,155
But a Yangin (commoner)
would be okay, right?
456
00:34:46,155 --> 00:34:50,693
Well if it comes, then those who've studied and
wanted to fart a bit would go take the civil tests.
457
00:34:50,693 --> 00:34:54,597
Then a whole lot more commoners would
pass the test, compared to now, right?
458
00:34:54,597 --> 00:34:58,935
Then, is that really so colossal?
459
00:35:01,704 --> 00:35:03,039
What's wrong?
460
00:35:13,082 --> 00:35:15,518
I'm sorry.
461
00:35:23,225 --> 00:35:25,962
That bloodthirst we felt.
462
00:35:25,962 --> 00:35:28,464
Was that scholar?
463
00:35:28,464 --> 00:35:32,802
How does a scholar possess such a...
464
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,208
You guys go back to the palace first.
465
00:35:39,208 --> 00:35:41,444
I'll be there soon.
466
00:35:51,821 --> 00:35:52,855
Is everything ready?
467
00:35:52,855 --> 00:35:54,557
Yes, sir.
468
00:36:08,704 --> 00:36:11,540
Why are you chasing us?
469
00:36:11,540 --> 00:36:14,510
How are you doing this?
470
00:36:14,510 --> 00:36:19,182
I wasn't chasing you.
I was just going my way.
471
00:36:43,707 --> 00:36:45,908
[ Sungkyunkwan Academy ]
472
00:36:52,782 --> 00:36:56,552
I saw the scholar who
killed the slave Seo Yong.
473
00:36:56,552 --> 00:37:00,122
We're here to arrest
him so move aside.
474
00:37:00,122 --> 00:37:00,957
Now!
475
00:37:00,957 --> 00:37:03,993
Therefore, that which is called "Joseon"
476
00:37:06,329 --> 00:37:13,603
is a Neo-Confucianistic nation and the aristocrats of
this nation will be the officials to push Joseon to excel
477
00:37:13,603 --> 00:37:16,639
and are charged with the
guidance to lead Joseon.
478
00:37:16,639 --> 00:37:23,346
Scholarship and governance is in accord
with the aristocratic ideal. Only those who
are cultured can serve in the government.
479
00:37:23,346 --> 00:37:29,118
However what is the state of our Joseon right now?
Creating Sino-defying letters...
480
00:37:29,118 --> 00:37:31,988
creating a world where everyone uses writing!
481
00:37:31,988 --> 00:37:37,226
Soon it will lead to the violent shaking of Neo-Confucianism
and bureaucracies that are Joseon's roots.
482
00:37:37,226 --> 00:37:38,828
Stop there!
483
00:37:44,901 --> 00:37:53,709
Hencefore, I, Park Se Myeong, as a Confucian
scholar of Joseon, representing the entire
aristocracy of Joseon and Confucian scholars
484
00:37:53,709 --> 00:37:57,713
disposed of the slave Seo Yong
who partook in the civil exam.
485
00:37:57,713 --> 00:37:59,315
For the sake of duty and loyalty,
486
00:37:59,315 --> 00:38:01,684
I offer my life.
487
00:38:01,684 --> 00:38:04,820
May you live eternally, Joseon!
488
00:38:09,892 --> 00:38:11,928
Get him down. From there!
489
00:38:17,767 --> 00:38:18,935
What...
490
00:38:18,935 --> 00:38:21,370
Oh my...
491
00:38:50,232 --> 00:38:54,570
That everyone knowing writing...
492
00:38:54,570 --> 00:38:59,375
is cause for wrath from
such a young scholar?
493
00:38:59,375 --> 00:39:04,347
Enough to give up his life?
494
00:39:04,347 --> 00:39:06,549
Isn't it?
495
00:39:06,549 --> 00:39:10,519
They are people whose
only strength is in writing.
496
00:39:10,519 --> 00:39:17,560
As autopsy is to me and
the sword is to you, Sir.
497
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:22,765
The reason Garion is Garion is because
he's good with autopsies, right?
498
00:39:22,765 --> 00:39:25,334
That is the only thing I have.
499
00:39:25,334 --> 00:39:28,371
Isn't it more extreme for those lords?
500
00:39:36,612 --> 00:39:56,098
501
00:40:02,305 --> 00:40:07,643
They must not know about the identity of our letters.
502
00:40:07,643 --> 00:40:11,647
If they should find out about the letters,
503
00:40:11,647 --> 00:40:14,584
just what hindrance might
occur against promulgation,
504
00:40:14,584 --> 00:40:16,886
cannot be estimated.
505
00:40:29,295 --> 00:40:31,163
The King, my father, is also,
506
00:40:31,163 --> 00:40:33,097
putting his life on
the line for this work.
507
00:40:33,097 --> 00:40:35,568
Much more so than us.
508
00:40:35,568 --> 00:40:38,036
Much heavier is his wager.
509
00:40:41,178 --> 00:40:45,311
Just like Orabeoni,
you're wagering your life
510
00:40:45,311 --> 00:40:49,119
on killing the King.
511
00:40:49,119 --> 00:40:52,252
I've wagered mine
on creating writing.
512
00:41:20,001 --> 00:41:23,949
If they know writing, the
people will gain strength too.
513
00:41:23,949 --> 00:41:26,178
Though rice won't appear,
514
00:41:26,178 --> 00:41:29,568
they will know how to make more rice.
515
00:41:29,568 --> 00:41:32,057
Though they won't become a noble,
516
00:41:32,057 --> 00:41:36,602
they won't be bullied by
the nobles so powerlessly.
517
00:41:37,029 --> 00:41:40,667
As I saved you, when you
escaped from the jail to run,
518
00:41:40,667 --> 00:41:43,135
I fought against my father, the King.
519
00:41:43,135 --> 00:41:46,806
And that was the beginning
of all that is Lee Do.
520
00:41:46,806 --> 00:41:50,175
And now the end of me, Lee Do is...
521
00:41:50,175 --> 00:41:53,011
creating writing.
522
00:42:06,559 --> 00:42:08,360
Was this such an
523
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,457
enormous thing?
524
00:42:11,457 --> 00:42:14,333
The letters His Majesty created.
525
00:42:14,333 --> 00:42:18,838
To have those letters come into the world.
526
00:42:18,838 --> 00:42:21,340
Dahm...
527
00:42:21,340 --> 00:42:23,575
Did you know it from the start?
528
00:42:26,445 --> 00:42:31,917
At first, I didn't know.
529
00:42:31,917 --> 00:42:38,324
At first, when His Majesty said he
was going to create an easy writing,
530
00:42:38,324 --> 00:42:44,296
whether it would be successful
or not, I was just happy.
531
00:42:44,296 --> 00:42:46,799
Just imagining it...
532
00:42:46,799 --> 00:42:49,435
was already so blissful.
533
00:42:49,435 --> 00:42:51,737
However, His Majesty,
534
00:42:51,737 --> 00:42:55,946
really did create an easy writing.
535
00:42:55,946 --> 00:43:00,404
And watching them come
to near completion,
536
00:43:00,404 --> 00:43:02,381
I began to feel uneasy.
537
00:43:03,749 --> 00:43:07,853
These letters, more
so than I had thought,
538
00:43:07,853 --> 00:43:11,891
they were much easier.
539
00:43:11,891 --> 00:43:14,894
Though I felt full in my heart,
540
00:43:14,894 --> 00:43:18,864
I felt apprehension on one side.
541
00:43:18,864 --> 00:43:21,033
For the lower ones,
542
00:43:21,033 --> 00:43:24,904
this good thing that is
great in imagination alone;
543
00:43:24,904 --> 00:43:28,824
this good and easy thing
for the lower ones,
544
00:43:31,076 --> 00:43:33,879
would the upper class like it?
545
00:43:33,879 --> 00:43:38,083
I really didn't know this
was such a difficult thing.
546
00:43:38,083 --> 00:43:40,686
If writing was created,
547
00:43:40,686 --> 00:43:44,894
then it's enough to get
it publicized and used.
548
00:43:44,894 --> 00:43:48,360
But even before the letters are out, the
knocking to death is already happening.
549
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,996
Watching them drumming all that fuss.
550
00:43:52,649 --> 00:43:55,167
Now,
551
00:43:55,167 --> 00:43:59,438
a steady promulgation
is going to be difficult.
552
00:43:59,438 --> 00:44:02,374
It must be Milbon.
553
00:44:02,374 --> 00:44:06,846
Milbon is manipulating
the situation from behind.
554
00:44:06,846 --> 00:44:08,914
Milbon,
555
00:44:08,914 --> 00:44:12,651
Jeong Gi Joon needs to be captured
before this situation ends.
556
00:44:12,651 --> 00:44:15,921
Where Jeong Gi Joon is,
557
00:44:15,921 --> 00:44:19,191
or what he looks like... no one knows.
558
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,597
Lord Jo Mal Saeng, too,
559
00:44:24,597 --> 00:44:28,501
he only knows his face from
when he was around 20.
560
00:44:28,501 --> 00:44:31,750
Lord Jo Mal Saeng?
561
00:44:33,672 --> 00:44:36,575
Someone who puts Moo
Hyul at a disadvantage, too,
562
00:44:36,575 --> 00:44:38,711
there was a high-skilled warrior.
563
00:44:38,711 --> 00:44:41,647
Lee Bang Ji.
564
00:44:41,647 --> 00:44:46,885
That bodyguard warrior of Jeong Do Jeon
who was Joseon's best swordsman, I mean.
565
00:44:48,921 --> 00:44:52,157
But Orabeoni...
566
00:44:54,794 --> 00:44:57,630
That...
567
00:44:57,630 --> 00:45:00,566
wish, I mean.
568
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:04,903
Right... wish.
569
00:45:06,172 --> 00:45:09,608
After I catch Jeong Gi Joon,
570
00:45:09,608 --> 00:45:12,978
I'll tell you after I catch him. Okay?
571
00:45:17,449 --> 00:45:24,690
Moo Hyul chased after Lee Bang Ji who
disappeared, but he returned, having lost.
572
00:45:24,690 --> 00:45:28,260
Teacher.
Teacher is the key.
573
00:45:35,901 --> 00:45:37,669
[ Northern territory Hamgildo ]
574
00:45:48,781 --> 00:45:51,116
You must be Yoon Pyung's henchman.
575
00:45:51,116 --> 00:45:53,786
Where's Yoon Pyung?
576
00:45:53,786 --> 00:45:56,589
Bonwon has given the order.
577
00:45:56,589 --> 00:45:59,758
Hence, I came to relate it to you.
578
00:45:59,758 --> 00:46:02,361
I am not a Milbon.
579
00:46:02,361 --> 00:46:05,064
Tell me it's an order one more time,
580
00:46:05,064 --> 00:46:06,532
and you'll die.
581
00:46:06,532 --> 00:46:09,735
Teacher.
One more time,
582
00:46:09,735 --> 00:46:12,104
you call me teacher,
583
00:46:12,104 --> 00:46:14,573
and you'll die too.
584
00:46:16,675 --> 00:46:20,546
Didn't we agree to never
see each other again?
585
00:46:20,546 --> 00:46:24,416
Jeong Gi Joon or you punk?
586
00:46:24,416 --> 00:46:28,286
I will tell you the message from Bonwon.
587
00:46:28,286 --> 00:46:31,623
Bonwon wishes you to join the cause.
588
00:46:34,393 --> 00:46:37,429
Far from it!
589
00:46:37,429 --> 00:46:40,933
Did you send someone to me last
time just to say the likes of that too?
590
00:46:42,535 --> 00:46:44,270
Get lost!
591
00:46:45,404 --> 00:46:49,141
You know Kang Chae Yoon, right?
592
00:46:51,777 --> 00:46:55,380
Kang Chae Yoon has joined
hands with Milbon too.
593
00:46:58,684 --> 00:47:01,353
Lee Bang Ji?
594
00:47:01,353 --> 00:47:03,656
Yes, the one who used to be
Jeong Do Jeon's guard warrior.
595
00:47:03,656 --> 00:47:05,758
That Lee Bang Ji, I mean.
596
00:47:05,758 --> 00:47:09,094
How do you punk know Lee Bang Ji?
597
00:47:09,094 --> 00:47:11,263
He used to be my teacher.
598
00:47:11,263 --> 00:47:13,399
What?
599
00:47:13,399 --> 00:47:16,702
You mean you punk used
to be Lee Bang Ji's disciple?
600
00:47:16,702 --> 00:47:19,438
Yes.
601
00:47:19,438 --> 00:47:21,674
What is this fated connection?
602
00:47:21,674 --> 00:47:26,178
No, it must be an ill-fate.
603
00:47:26,178 --> 00:47:29,715
Do you suppose Lee Bang
Ji is a Milbon or not?
604
00:47:29,715 --> 00:47:33,385
Since he's your teacher
you should know better.
605
00:47:33,385 --> 00:47:36,589
I know of nothing.
606
00:47:36,589 --> 00:47:39,959
That Teacher used to be
Jeong Do Jeon's guard warrior,
607
00:47:39,959 --> 00:47:44,163
I only found out from Lord
Jo Mal Saeng not long ago.
608
00:47:44,163 --> 00:47:48,000
And also, what exactly happened on that
night in year Mooin that swept him away,
609
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:52,171
That he couldn't guard Jeong Do Jeon, I mean.
610
00:47:52,171 --> 00:47:55,541
His whereabouts afterwards has been a mystery.
611
00:47:55,541 --> 00:47:59,478
Whether he is engaged in Milbon or not is unknown.
612
00:47:59,478 --> 00:48:06,418
But regardless of Milbon, Lee Bang Ji is a surviving
traitor who is a remnant of Sambong clan from Mooin.
613
00:48:06,418 --> 00:48:08,888
For him to conceal his
whereabouts is a given.
614
00:48:08,888 --> 00:48:13,292
The assassin named Yoon
Pyung who killed the scholars...
615
00:48:13,292 --> 00:48:17,696
that scum uses the teacher's martial arts.
616
00:48:17,696 --> 00:48:18,831
What?
617
00:48:18,831 --> 00:48:21,333
What do you suppose the story to that is?
618
00:48:21,333 --> 00:48:24,770
Wouldn't it mean that the
Teacher knows Jeong Gi Joon?
619
00:48:24,770 --> 00:48:26,372
Hence?
620
00:48:26,372 --> 00:48:32,711
If I can meet the Teacher, I should
be able to ask about Jeong Gi Joon.
621
00:48:32,711 --> 00:48:35,347
Do you know where Lee Bang Ji is?
622
00:48:35,347 --> 00:48:39,952
Actually not long ago,
Teacher sent someone to me.
623
00:48:39,952 --> 00:48:42,922
If I trace his identity,
624
00:48:42,922 --> 00:48:45,825
there should be a way.
625
00:48:45,825 --> 00:48:48,894
However, before that, what matters to me,
626
00:48:48,894 --> 00:48:53,899
is to find out what the Teacher's
relationship with Milbon is.
627
00:48:53,899 --> 00:48:57,736
If the Teacher is truly
deeply engaged in Milbon,
628
00:48:57,736 --> 00:49:00,372
for me to meet him,
629
00:49:00,372 --> 00:49:03,609
could actually spoil the mission.
630
00:49:03,609 --> 00:49:05,511
Hence, tell me, please,
631
00:49:05,511 --> 00:49:09,882
about the Teacher and
regarding Milbon's past.
632
00:49:09,882 --> 00:49:13,285
I mean, everything you
know, Guard Commander.
633
00:49:19,558 --> 00:49:24,230
He did seem startled upon
hearing about Chae Yoon.
634
00:49:24,230 --> 00:49:26,832
However, he did not come with me.
635
00:49:26,832 --> 00:49:29,268
He will come.
636
00:49:29,268 --> 00:49:32,871
Lee Bang Ji will certainly come.
637
00:49:35,492 --> 00:49:37,776
The night of Mooin affair,
638
00:49:37,776 --> 00:49:39,545
Grand King Taejong,
639
00:49:39,545 --> 00:49:42,781
attacked the house in Namwon where
traitor Jeong Do Jeon resided at the time.
640
00:49:42,781 --> 00:49:46,886
You must know that he
had everyone put to death.
641
00:49:46,886 --> 00:49:48,687
Yes.
642
00:49:48,687 --> 00:49:52,324
However, the Teacher,
who was the bodyguard,
643
00:49:52,324 --> 00:49:55,027
was not there, I heard.
644
00:49:55,027 --> 00:49:57,696
Do you know the reason for that?
645
00:49:59,799 --> 00:50:03,235
There was a woman.
646
00:50:03,235 --> 00:50:07,473
The woman Lee Bang
Ji loved who was also,
647
00:50:07,473 --> 00:50:09,842
Jeong Do Jeon's woman.
648
00:50:09,842 --> 00:50:14,880
You mean, he loved
the master's woman?
649
00:50:16,615 --> 00:50:19,318
Something like that.
650
00:50:20,286 --> 00:50:23,422
Grand King Taejong, on that night,
651
00:50:23,422 --> 00:50:27,026
thought the biggest obstacle
in attacking Jeong Do Jeon,
652
00:50:27,026 --> 00:50:31,097
was precisely the existence of
Joseon's best swordsman, Lee Bang Ji.
653
00:50:31,097 --> 00:50:32,665
Hence,
654
00:50:32,665 --> 00:50:35,568
he needed to pull Lee
Bang Ji out for a little bit.
655
00:50:35,568 --> 00:50:37,937
He had that woman kidnapped.
656
00:50:37,937 --> 00:50:40,372
And he had Lee Bang
Ji alerted to that fact.
657
00:50:40,372 --> 00:50:43,375
Lee Bang Ji, upon hearing that news,
658
00:50:43,375 --> 00:50:46,545
left Jeong Do Jeon's side,
659
00:50:46,545 --> 00:50:49,348
in order to go and save that woman.
660
00:50:52,452 --> 00:50:54,787
Drop your sword, Lee Bang Ji!
661
00:50:55,755 --> 00:51:00,526
Just stay here for a little
bit, until the work is ended.
662
00:51:00,526 --> 00:51:03,062
Then, I will not harm this woman.
663
00:51:03,830 --> 00:51:05,498
Hurry and go.
664
00:51:05,498 --> 00:51:07,934
Go and save Teacher Sambong.
665
00:51:09,335 --> 00:51:11,270
Hurry!
666
00:51:15,175 --> 00:51:18,011
NO!
667
00:51:20,013 --> 00:51:22,749
Then?
What happened?
668
00:51:23,850 --> 00:51:28,488
That woman died in
Lee Bang Ji's embrace.
669
00:51:28,488 --> 00:51:31,958
Even as she was dying,
the last words she said,
670
00:51:33,726 --> 00:51:35,628
"hurry and go"
671
00:51:35,628 --> 00:51:38,698
"and save Sambong."
672
00:51:38,698 --> 00:51:46,072
Lee Bang Ji went to Sambong belatedly,
but indeed the work there was done as well.
673
00:51:46,072 --> 00:51:49,042
Neither his own master, Jeong Do Jeon,
674
00:51:49,042 --> 00:51:51,978
nor the woman, did he protect.
675
00:51:53,379 --> 00:51:55,715
That guilty conscience...
676
00:51:55,715 --> 00:51:58,551
is what drove him to disappear.
677
00:51:58,551 --> 00:52:00,086
Right.
678
00:52:01,921 --> 00:52:06,659
But why do you know it so
lucidly, Guard Commander?
679
00:52:07,393 --> 00:52:09,962
The night of Mooin affair,
680
00:52:10,096 --> 00:52:12,932
what do you suppose I was doing?
681
00:52:14,367 --> 00:52:17,603
At the time,I was a teenage
warrior still wet behind the ears.
682
00:52:18,371 --> 00:52:23,376
My first field day was
precisely that night.
683
00:52:24,043 --> 00:52:29,649
Hence, you know it in much more
detail than Lord Jo Mal Saeng.
684
00:52:29,649 --> 00:52:32,151
Minister Jo...
685
00:52:32,151 --> 00:52:34,587
said the Teacher suddenly disappeared.
686
00:52:34,587 --> 00:52:37,290
As to why he disappeared...
687
00:52:37,290 --> 00:52:39,826
or where he went to, he did not know.
688
00:52:39,826 --> 00:52:42,028
Lord Jo Mal Saeng?
689
00:52:42,028 --> 00:52:43,129
Yes.
690
00:52:43,129 --> 00:52:45,198
How can that be?
691
00:52:45,198 --> 00:52:48,501
The one I just told you about, the one
who had his sword on the woman...
692
00:52:48,501 --> 00:52:53,539
the one who was given the mission to stall
Lee Bang Ji was none other than Minister Jo.
693
00:52:53,539 --> 00:52:55,575
Minister Jo.
694
00:53:04,517 --> 00:53:08,454
Teacher had that past to him?
695
00:53:08,454 --> 00:53:11,724
His guilt for failing to
protect Jeong Do Jeon.
696
00:53:11,724 --> 00:53:14,894
That was his reason for living like that?
697
00:53:14,894 --> 00:53:19,499
Then what is his relationship with Milbon?
698
00:53:24,070 --> 00:53:26,672
Hey, where are you trying to leave to?
699
00:53:27,540 --> 00:53:29,509
You're trying to go somewhere again?
700
00:53:29,509 --> 00:53:30,810
Did you leave a letter again?
701
00:53:30,810 --> 00:53:31,944
I'm not letting you go!
702
00:53:31,944 --> 00:53:34,080
Don't go!
Don't go, I said!
703
00:53:35,114 --> 00:53:39,819
What's with the silly act?
I already reported to Royal Guard Commander.
704
00:53:40,219 --> 00:53:44,590
I'm leaving to go find someone,
so I'll be gone a few days.
705
00:53:44,590 --> 00:53:46,859
Who are you trying to find?
706
00:53:48,528 --> 00:53:51,364
Lee Bang Ji!
707
00:53:52,265 --> 00:53:54,066
My teacher.
708
00:54:22,328 --> 00:54:27,333
What... how long has it been?
709
00:54:27,333 --> 00:54:30,069
What brings you here so late at night?
710
00:54:30,069 --> 00:54:31,871
He appeared.
711
00:54:32,772 --> 00:54:35,742
What has appeared?
712
00:54:35,742 --> 00:54:39,612
It seems you've forgotten since you
gave me the order so long ago.
713
00:54:39,612 --> 00:54:45,718
The man who pours alcohol on the tomb
and mourns has finally appeared.
714
00:54:48,554 --> 00:54:49,956
[ Banchon ]
715
00:54:58,031 --> 00:54:59,499
Who are you?
716
00:54:59,599 --> 00:55:02,235
You don't look like a Banchon person.
What business do you have here?
717
00:55:02,235 --> 00:55:04,003
Why this old man...
718
00:55:19,285 --> 00:55:21,554
Aigo, who could this be.
719
00:55:21,554 --> 00:55:23,790
How long has it really been.
720
00:55:23,790 --> 00:55:26,559
What is all this?
Stuff it.
721
00:55:27,427 --> 00:55:29,795
Hey now, look at that
speech manner of yours.
722
00:55:29,929 --> 00:55:34,133
When I'm the Bonwon of Milbon.
723
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,904
I raised you on my back.
Don't know?
724
00:55:39,323 --> 00:55:43,609
Right, right. I did go to
you a lot calling you mister.
725
00:55:43,609 --> 00:55:45,745
Let's go in and talk some.
726
00:55:45,745 --> 00:55:47,680
You came to talk, right?
727
00:55:48,948 --> 00:55:50,887
Stuff it now.
728
00:55:50,887 --> 00:55:53,019
Before you croak.
729
00:55:54,220 --> 00:55:55,688
Hurry and put the sword down.
730
00:55:55,688 --> 00:55:58,624
Wrong move and we'll all croak.
731
00:56:00,627 --> 00:56:02,028
Here, now.
732
00:56:02,829 --> 00:56:03,930
Come on.
733
00:56:22,115 --> 00:56:24,317
What's behind that wall?
734
00:56:26,085 --> 00:56:28,454
You have a pet beast or something?
735
00:56:31,657 --> 00:56:35,928
Indeed Lee Bang Ji. You are not dead.
736
00:56:35,928 --> 00:56:39,031
You sense it all, right?
737
00:56:39,799 --> 00:56:42,110
Shall I get a cup of tea
for you or something?
738
00:56:42,110 --> 00:56:43,436
Or a cup of alcohol?
739
00:56:43,436 --> 00:56:44,841
Stuff it.
740
00:56:45,571 --> 00:56:47,907
Let's get to the point.
741
00:56:48,975 --> 00:56:51,760
What is this talk that Kang Chae
Yoon joining hands with Milbon?
742
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:53,650
Just as the words mean.
743
00:56:53,998 --> 00:56:57,365
Kang Chae Yoon has joined course
with our Milbon's great cause.
744
00:56:57,365 --> 00:56:59,341
Jeong Gi Joon!
745
00:57:00,653 --> 00:57:03,092
Are you like this because you
trust what's behind that wall?
746
00:57:04,290 --> 00:57:05,658
Answer me straight.
747
00:57:05,658 --> 00:57:09,395
That disciple punk of yours
named Kang Chae Yoon.
748
00:57:09,395 --> 00:57:11,331
That punk doesn't have to
749
00:57:11,331 --> 00:57:14,077
live futilely like you is what I thought.
750
00:57:14,077 --> 00:57:17,203
Those who grasp the sword getting
tangled in the affair of the high-ups
751
00:57:18,671 --> 00:57:19,401
is the most futile-living of all.
752
00:57:19,401 --> 00:57:22,575
It's the most cowardly living actually.
753
00:57:22,575 --> 00:57:24,881
Despite having skill and erudition,
754
00:57:24,881 --> 00:57:28,514
abandoning the world
and living in seclusion,
755
00:57:28,514 --> 00:57:31,251
isn't that the nastiest living?
756
00:57:32,685 --> 00:57:34,353
Like you!
757
00:57:34,754 --> 00:57:36,762
Just what kind of
Joseon you punk
758
00:57:36,762 --> 00:57:39,317
or what political
system you create,
759
00:57:39,317 --> 00:57:41,065
someone gets snatched
760
00:57:41,065 --> 00:57:42,551
and someone snatches.
761
00:57:42,551 --> 00:57:44,864
Someone steps
762
00:57:45,097 --> 00:57:47,200
and someone gets stepped on.
763
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,671
The high-ups call
that the great cause.
764
00:57:50,469 --> 00:57:52,572
But that is still that.
765
00:57:52,572 --> 00:57:54,273
In the end,
766
00:57:54,273 --> 00:57:55,926
it's all dog rubbish.
767
00:57:55,926 --> 00:58:00,313
Should the one who lusted after the master's
woman and abandoned the master,
768
00:58:01,592 --> 00:58:04,717
should that betrayer say such a thing?
769
00:58:08,888 --> 00:58:10,256
So..
770
00:58:10,256 --> 00:58:11,800
When will you be back this time?
771
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:13,564
I'll have to go and see.
772
00:58:13,564 --> 00:58:16,729
But this time, even if I can't find him,
I'll come back in three or four days.
773
00:58:16,729 --> 00:58:19,316
I feel hungry suddenly now that
I'm leaving for a long journey.
774
00:58:19,316 --> 00:58:20,609
You've got nothing?
775
00:58:20,609 --> 00:58:24,036
That piglet stuffed everything
so I have nothing.
776
00:58:24,036 --> 00:58:26,172
And Angsung-daek must be asleep too.
777
00:58:26,172 --> 00:58:27,868
Should I go down and try to wake her?
778
00:58:27,868 --> 00:58:29,052
Nah.
779
00:58:29,052 --> 00:58:33,012
I'll stop by Garion's on my way out and
ask for some dried meat or something.
780
00:58:33,012 --> 00:58:34,518
But anyway, that Park Po...
781
00:58:34,518 --> 00:58:36,111
take good care of him in the meantime.
782
00:58:36,111 --> 00:58:37,416
Don't you worry.
783
00:58:37,416 --> 00:58:38,618
Hey, Chae Yoon!
784
00:58:40,021 --> 00:58:42,121
Be careful of your body.
785
00:58:44,736 --> 00:58:46,792
Lee Bang Ji.
786
00:58:46,792 --> 00:58:49,021
That night, you...
787
00:58:49,362 --> 00:58:53,386
If you hadn't been tempted by
a woman and left your station,
788
00:58:53,386 --> 00:58:57,041
Sambong could've escaped the crisis.
789
00:58:57,041 --> 00:58:59,967
If only he could've escaped
from Namwon's house,
790
00:58:59,967 --> 00:59:04,425
he could've regathered his strength
and turned things around.
791
00:59:04,425 --> 00:59:08,619
You are the one...
who changed history.
792
00:59:09,048 --> 00:59:10,716
You scum...
793
00:59:10,984 --> 00:59:13,620
ruined Joseon's history.
794
00:59:14,420 --> 00:59:16,724
Regarding that,
I have nothing to say.
795
00:59:16,724 --> 00:59:19,158
I offered my head before you guys,
796
00:59:19,158 --> 00:59:21,694
and I asked you to kill me too.
797
00:59:23,162 --> 00:59:25,731
But you wanted to make a deal.
798
00:59:26,232 --> 00:59:28,167
Yoon Pyung...
799
00:59:28,167 --> 00:59:30,703
To make that punk into a killer.
800
00:59:30,703 --> 00:59:34,408
Hence, I did that and
the transaction is over, no?
801
00:59:35,795 --> 00:59:37,677
A deal merely to that degree,
802
00:59:37,677 --> 00:59:40,413
do you think it will
atone for your offense?
803
00:59:40,413 --> 00:59:42,761
Do you really think so, Lee Bang Ji?
804
00:59:42,761 --> 00:59:44,386
What do you want from me?
805
00:59:44,386 --> 00:59:47,055
Together with Kang Chae Yoon,
806
00:59:47,055 --> 00:59:50,052
join together with us, Milbon.
807
00:59:50,052 --> 00:59:52,249
Chae Yoon really...
808
00:59:53,326 --> 00:59:55,561
became a Milbon?
809
00:59:56,043 --> 00:59:58,664
That you are Jeong Gi Joon,
810
00:59:58,898 --> 00:59:59,858
does he know?
811
00:59:59,858 --> 01:00:02,141
Not yet, of course.
812
01:00:02,870 --> 01:00:06,910
And he didn't become a Milbon either. Yet.
813
01:00:06,910 --> 01:00:10,576
So you mean, don't tell him and don't interrupt?
814
01:00:11,344 --> 01:00:14,547
He spurts out venom outwardly,
815
01:00:14,547 --> 01:00:17,034
but he is a boy who is as frail as can be.
816
01:00:17,730 --> 01:00:21,747
He is not someone who
should meddle in politics.
817
01:00:21,747 --> 01:00:23,956
Politics?
818
01:00:24,691 --> 01:00:28,494
Kang Chae Yoon wielding
his sword inside the palace
819
01:00:28,962 --> 01:00:31,731
means he's already involved, no?
820
01:00:32,298 --> 01:00:35,052
Since we have the same target,
we are doing it together.
821
01:00:35,052 --> 01:00:36,869
What are you talking about?
822
01:00:36,869 --> 01:00:38,201
What palace?
823
01:00:40,927 --> 01:00:43,728
Do you really not know?
824
01:00:43,728 --> 01:00:48,706
Kang Chae Yoon's been grinding his sword for
the past decades in order to seek revenge!
825
01:00:48,706 --> 01:00:53,152
You really don't know where that
sword is aimed at, huh, Lee Bang Ji?!
826
01:00:58,528 --> 01:01:00,693
It's Lee Do!
827
01:01:01,175 --> 01:01:04,719
Kang Chae Yoon came to kill the King.
828
01:01:08,334 --> 01:01:10,803
Hey, Garion!
829
01:01:19,279 --> 01:01:22,498
Oh, what brings you here so late at night?
830
01:01:22,498 --> 01:01:25,277
I'm about to go on a long journey.
831
01:01:25,277 --> 01:01:27,687
But I feel peckish here, you see.
832
01:01:27,687 --> 01:01:30,153
Do you have some dried meat or something?
833
01:01:30,153 --> 01:01:32,954
It doesn't have to be beef.
Like dried pork or something.
834
01:01:32,954 --> 01:01:35,021
Give me some then!
835
01:01:36,878 --> 01:01:39,836
Yes, of course, I have some.
836
01:01:39,836 --> 01:01:41,299
Come in for a bit, please.
837
01:01:41,299 --> 01:01:43,078
Sure, sure.
838
01:01:50,664 --> 01:01:53,613
Come inside, please.
839
01:01:54,372 --> 01:01:56,215
Aigo, you had a guest.
840
01:01:56,215 --> 01:01:58,180
Yes, a brother I knew
from a long time ago.
841
01:01:58,180 --> 01:02:00,553
He's stopping by after a long absence.
842
01:02:00,553 --> 01:02:04,998
Brother, since it's a fate regardlessly,
so go ahead and greet him then.
843
01:02:05,276 --> 01:02:09,827
This is Sir Kang Chae Yoon
who is a palace guard.
844
01:02:09,827 --> 01:02:15,334
Yup, I'm Kang, a palace guard.
845
01:02:15,334 --> 01:02:51,205
