Sire! Hong Gil Dong shot his wife

and showed his will to fight!

The spirit of the rebels is through the sky!

Kill them all.

Kill them all! Kill all of them now!

General Hong!

We will fight with you, General Hong!

Hong Ah Mo Gae's blood flowing in my body

is more passionate and precious than that of any statesman!

Let's catch the king!

Those who have the precious blood like the one flowing in my body!

Only they can join this great fight!

[Rebel: Thief of the People]

Gil Hyun!

Eo Ri Ni.

You mentioned a friend that you left behind in the palace, didn't you?

Ok Ran.

Gil Dong!

[Episode 29]

Your bleeding hasn't stopped yet?

Let me have more herbs.

What are you doing? You should come and help.

Yes, I will help.

I will help, too.

We're all done!

I brought some people.

Here, here.

Come and wrap up the wound.

Hey... Who is she?

They are my friends.

All of you should say hello.

I am Sang Hwa's friend Ok Ran.

I am Baek Gyeon.

Oh, I...

I feel like I've been shot with an arrow in my heart...

Ouch.

Please continue.

Ouch, please be gentle!

You're such a crybaby.

You'll live a long life since you're such a crybaby, So Bu Ri.

How many times did I tell you to go easy on me?

I thought I was headed to nirvana.

But Buddha told me to come back later.

Not just anyone gets to reach nirvana.

If you're disappointed, should I send you there now?

Huh?

A pig cannot go to nirvana.

Stop! Stop!

It hurts!

It hurts, you piggy!

Did you hear the news about Hyangjumok?

The people of Hyangjumok fought off the soldiers and won!

How could the people of Hyangjumok defeat so many soldiers?

You really have no idea what's going on.

What could it be?

Our Hong was right there in Hyangjumok!

- Hong was there? - Come closer.

Eventually, with the people of Hyangjumok

Hong could attack Hanyang!

- Hyangjumok became a free town. - What do you mean, "a free town"?

Please! Keep quiet.

People of Hyangjumok don't need to send hawks for the king's hunting trips.

Young men won't be dragged for labor to build the king's playgrounds

And they don't need to send their daughters to the palace!

- Is that true? - Yes!

- It must be nirvana! - What nirvana?

A lot of people of Hyangjumok got hurt and killed!

Oh my...

Still, I'd at least try fighting to my heart's content!

This hellish life.

Should I just flip everything now?

What did we really see in Hyangjumok?

I had never seen or heard such a thing in my life.

All of you must've heard the imposing sound of singing and roaring?

[Park Won Jong Second Rank Official]

Let us go!

Let us catch the king!

Please leave first.

What kind of blood is flowing in your body?

Who among you will join me?

- Ja Won! Ja Won! - Yes, sire!

I had a strange dream.

I was being chased by my people, then...

I even took off my royal robe and ran away.

- Sire-- - It felt so real.

It didn't seem like a dream.

Sire!

Please... Please...

Yes, sire.

It was a dream.

You had a very bad dream, sire.

Please get some more sleep.

You should get a deep sleep

so that you won't have useless dreams like that.

Yes.

Yes...

Your Majesty?

Nok Su...

It was not a dream.

I realized...

that it was not a dream.

It was not a dream!

Jo Jung Hak had the serious duty of suppressing the rebels

but he wasn't able to fight off the rebels

and deserves death to wash off his sins.

However, given that his mother helped the late queen

Jung Hak and his family will be made slaves of the Royal Finance Office

and their lives will be spared.

So become the limbs of His Majesty and repent your sins!

Slaves?

This can't be happening!

This can't be happening! This can't be happening...

Mother...

I'd rather be killed! We'd rather be killed!

My precious son deserves to be a minister!

I devoted my whole life to make my son a minister!

How can we be slaves?

How can we be slaves? Slaves...

Mother!

Mother!

Mother...

Gather soldiers from the eight provinces and send them to Hyangjumok again.

Go there, tear them apart, and kill all of them!

Dig up the whole Hyangjumok and make them disappear!

Yes, sire. We will proceed.

However, please allow us time to feed the horses.

Does His Majesty really mean to attack Hyangjumok again?

If what happened in Hyangjumok spreads to all over the country

what would we do?

People of Hyangjumok were also hurt and killed.

They won't be as strong as before.

But Hong Gil Dong is still in Hyangjumok.

If he doesn't go away...

the spirit of the people will also remain the same!

My bride...

Why are you sleeping for so long?

You don't mean to leave me...

because you hate me, do you?

If I become widowed

and live my whole life thinking about you every day...

My bride, you will be so sad and won't be able to take your journey.

So...

Hurry back to me.

You don't need to forgive me.

To your husband...

Come back to your husband!

Agrimonia and horsetail are useful to stop the bleeding

so let's get a lot of them before the sun goes down.

Yes, ma'am.

Don't go too far.

All right.

Ok Ran!

What? Did something happen?

No. Let's go.

Sure.

My husband.

If this is a dream...

let's not wake up.

For the rest of our lives...

let us continue to live in this dream.

If either of us is dead...

just like this...

It's me.

Ga Ryung... Ga Ryung.

Ga Ryung! Ga Ryung!

Ga Ryung!

I missed you so much...

Ga Ryung!

Oh my, it's Ga Ryung!

Your chatterbox is here.

I'm glad you're here, Chatterbox.

- Be careful. - Be careful.

Our Ga Ryung, our Ga Ryung...

I knew you'd make it.

Let me take a look at you.

My goodness.

I'm glad you're here.

If you want, you can remain here.

Or feel free to go wherever you want to go.

Ok Ran will stay with me.

Isn't that right, Ok Ran?

Yes, as long as you'll accept me.

For me--

Shouldn't she stay with us?

Shouldn't she?

I was always scared in the palace.

So I'd like to stay here if you'll take me in.

Come on!

For me...

I'd like to go back to the palace.

But it's dangerous in the palace now.

His Majesty is getting more strict with female musicians now.

I still have to go.

I left my "Ribbon Friend" in the palace.

And Nok Su is alone in the palace.

I beg of you, General Hong.

Wol Ha Mae has returned?

Where? Where?

Lady Jang.

I thought...

I'd never see you again.

Oh my.

Where would I go, leaving you behind?

Oh my...

Lord Park.

Yes, sire.

The horses are eating well and gaining weight.

We will be able to leave soon.

Yes, you should!

We should show the power of the country!

Of course...

Stomp on them and root them out...

and burn them all! All of them!

His Majesty gave an order to send the soldiers again!

They won't be able to touch Hyangjumok for a while.

I am sure of it.

However, if the king doesn't retract on marking Hyanjumok as the rebel's town

soldiers may be coming again.

Then what can we do?

What do we have to do

so that the king will retract...

marking Hyangjumok as the rebel's town?

We shouldn't waste our sweat trying to change the king's mind.

It will be resolved if we change the king.

Yes, at first, the people of Hyangjumok had no intention of becoming rebels.

But the king declared Hyangjumok the rebel's town

and sent his soldiers.

If we leave the king as he is now...

he will surely attack us again

because he is worried about what he has done to us.

Therefore, we have to make up our mind now.

Now, we have to become real rebels.

That is the way of survival for Hyangjumok.

Let us... change the king!

Sure, let's do that.

- Let's do that! - Let's do that!

Now my husband is no longer just mine.

My dear.

Go ahead.

What?

Go ahead and tell me.

I just think...

my husband is great for standing tall against the king.

You're remarkable.

And?

I'm scared.

Don't worry about a thing.

The two of us will never part ways again.

Let's go!

I can hear it.

I hear it again.

It's noisy.

I said, it's noisy!

It's noisy, you bastards!

Who is it?

Your Majesty!

I said, you're noisy! You're noisy!

You bastards!

You bastards!

Your Majesty!

Who is Your Majesty?

Your Majesty is the proper bloodline of the Great King Seongjong!

And who is Your Majesty?

You are the wise king who eradicated the insubordinates of this country!

Sire, the insubordinate ones know fear now.

All of it is Your Majesty's achievements!

So what are you afraid of, sire?

What are you worried about, sire?

Yes, I hated the insubordinate ones

so I pulled their tongues and cut off their limbs

and taught fear in all eight provinces of Joseon.

Yes, sire!

Only Your Majesty achieved it!

But there were strange ones.

I pulled the root of the insubordinate in 1498 and 1504

and established the foundation of Joseon for 10,000 years to come.

But there are still those who look down on me.

There are those who disrespect me!

How can they not know fear?

How can they not know to be afraid of me?

Sire!

You bastards!

Stop!

Sire!

Your Majesty, you can't hear anything now, can you?

You should leave now for the day.

Teuk Jae.

I'm sure you know.

In order to make a useful king out of a stupid one

I devoted my whole life.

But a few lowly ones gathered...

and destroyed my king to such a state!

How is this even possible?

I am asking if this is even possible...

I need someone who will handle the aftermath of Hyangjumok.

Who would be good?

Lord Park.

"Murdering the king is also shown in the old writings."

"Citizens, follow my soldiers of justice!"

Is a radical, anonymous letter like this really going around?

That's not all.

In Gyeongsan Province and Jeolla Province

they're already preparing for the big day.

The most important thing is

that the king's plan of blockading Hyangjumok

and blockading any news from it fell apart.

Rumors about Hyangjumok are spreading like fire now.

I was worried that people of other towns would turn away from Hyangjumok.

I was worried for nothing.

Yes yes... All of them still remember us, don't they?

They haven't forgotten about us!

We're ready now.

Now, without getting blood on our hands

we can take the king down.

If my guess is correct...

one of the vassals who has been serving the king

will come visit us soon

and ask us to discuss what happened in Hyangjumok.

But if this is how people feel...

we have the winning card.

Who is it?

It came! We received a message!

Park Won Jong would like to meet with you, Gil Dong.

Lord Park Won Jong?

He was one of the king's closest vassals.

But recently when he was assigned in Geonggi Province

he was demoted for saying the right things.

So the people of Gyeonggi Province have confidence in him.

Also, although I am not certain

there is a rumor that his sister was raped by the king.

We may be able to talk to him.

Lord Park, let us gather our strength and protect His Majesty.

If it is you, they will trust you.

For the sake of the country

show your loyalty this time.

His Majesty gave an order to send soldiers to Hyangjumok again.

It is notable that you defeated the soldiers once.

But farmers can't keep defeating soldiers.

You must be aware of it.

So I came here to tell you how you can finish this matter.

First, send us the ones who killed a lot of soldiers.

And for you, I will prepare a boat so that all of you can leave Joseon.

This is the way to minimize damage.

I don't want to.

Then there will be another fight.

Then all of the people of Hyangjumok will be killed!

Before that...

have you not considered that you'd get killed first?

The news of Hyangjumok is spreading throughout the country.

How the king ran away and how the soldiers were defeated...

It's hard to find anyone who doesn't know about it.

Also, people even said this.

If the people of Hyangjumok will rise up

the torches of the wronged ones all over Joseon will burn like a wild fire.

If that happens

the traitors who've lived off of the king wouldn't be safe either.

People were saying the right thing.

If you think about it, is the reason that the country turned out this way

only because the king is a tyrant?

Then, what about those who collaborated with the tyrant?

The ones who have written poems and gone hunting with the king...

The ones who reported their colleagues and survived to the end.

Once the people rise up...

do you think they will be safe?

I...

I will tell you the only way of survival for you.

With your own hands...

take down the king.

How dare you!

How dare he...

Lie down in your room and take time to think.

Whether you want to live or die.

Lord Yoo of Jeolla Province and Lord Jo of Gyeongsang Province

are making suspicious moves!

General Lee escaped from his exile!

They must've heard about Hyangjumok.

After they heard how the king took off his robe and ran away

they became courageous!

Lord Yoo, Lord Jo, and even General Lee...

All of them were sent into exile in 1498 and 1504!

If they raise an army

who would they strike first?

It will be us!

They will attack us first since we survived through 1498 and 1504!

What do you mean, "us"? You started the whole thing in 1498!

- Do you think you will be safe? - Is that what you have to say?

Let's go. Let us report to His Majesty--

But I can't find out where His Majesty is.

You can't find out?

Since the incident of Hyangjumok

His Majesty has canceled all meetings and discussions.

And he has been staying in the deep corner of the palace.

That is why we still don't know where he is.

Then we must find him.

We have to find him and tell him!

Where is...

Where is His Majesty?

Your Majesty!

Where...

Your Majesty!

Welcome!

Now, let us dance together!

- Pardon? - Now...

- Oh my! - Here.

Here.

Let's dance now!

- Dance right now! - Yes, sire!

Now now, come here!

Give them your mask! Give them your mask!

This is how you do it.

How can he waste away my life's work?

In order to serve His Majesty

I have endured so much!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Did you hear about General Lee?

Lord Yoo and Lord Kim--

Lord Park...

You have two ways of taking down the king.

Teacher Song.

How can you say so?

Didn't you come here wishing that I'd say this first?

I will tell you again.

You have two ways of taking down the king.

Either you fail and all of your family members are killed.

Or gain the heart of the people and become the hero of the coup.

If the coup can be successful, it is worth it.

But, Hong Gil Dong...

All of it depends on him.

In order to succeed in a coup, you have to gain the people's hearts.

We have to hear his sure answer that he'll support the coup.

Do you know what a scary word you spoke of?

Although King Sejo received the throne from his nephew

it was still an abdication of the throne.

For 100 years since the foundation of this country

taking down a king from the throne has never happened.

So, how can you...

You say that it makes no sense.

So why did you ask to see me again?

If... we rise up...

then will you support us?

You must be looking for a reason.

People will support you that day.

But do not forget.

We will be watching.

"We will be watching"?

Since we have kept our loyalty and honor all throughout our lives

of course we should die for our country!

Of course!

If this is successful...

we will become officials with achievements, won't we?

If this is successful, we will be the first ones.

It wouldn't go wrong, would it?

If it goes wrong

all of us will be dead.

If the people rise up first

none of us will survive since we served His Majesty by his side.

We have to raise a coup first.

Are you going to hide it only from me?

You're planning something, aren't you?

Notify the Six Departments to hold a big feast in Changdeok Palace!

Yes, sire.

Never mind.

The weather is not good.

So forget it.

I feel strange somehow.

I am not excited.

The king committed a big crime against the country

so we plan to establish a new king.

Follow us if you are with us!

There is a coup!

How dare you! Don't you run away!

Protect His Majesty!

How dare you!

Sir, the rebels will attack the palace soon!

They will kill all of us!

Eunuch Kim...

Where are you coming from with that sword?

A mouse was running amok in the palace

so I went to catch it.

By the way...

why is the palace so empty today?

I sent them all to catch the mouse.

Soon... all of them will return.

I see.

They went to catch a mouse.

Eunuch Kim.

Let us hold a big feast for the last time.

While I dress up...

would you keep His Majesty company?

Let's hurry.

I will wear the prettiest hairpin from Ming today.

Your Majesty, please wake up.

You must be awake today.

Lady Jang prepared a lavish feast for you, sire.

We must go, sire.

A lavish feast...

Yes... I should go.

I should go.

By the way...

Where did everyone go?

Why are you looking after me?

I will serve you today, sire.

Your Majesty, you do remember, don't you?

I used to bring water for washing every morning before.

Back then...

I had no doubt that serving Your Majesty...

would be the same as serving the country.

So I was excited to serve you, sire.

Where did everyone go?

Where did all of my musicians go?

Your Majesty...

Your Majesty.

Please have a seat.

Wol Ha Mae and I are still here.

Your Majesty, may I sing for you today?

I lacked in my talent

and had ordinary looks.

Only because I kept Lady Jang close

I had great fun for a season with the best musicians in Joseon.

Lady Jang...

thank you.

I will live, I will live

I will live.

The coup will be successful only if you gain the people's hearts.

Hong Gil Dong.

All of it depends on him.

How can we not gain much support from the people?

We can't succeed this way.

We had the justification that people followed the will of the heavens!

- We can change the king! - We can make the change!

Let's go and make the change!

Let's go! Let's get rid of the tyrant!

- Let's go! - Let's go!

Yes...

His Majesty is at Changdeok Palace!

Let's go!

Tell His Majesty to give up the Royal Seal.

What is the ruckus?

Sire...

since you are the king of this country

no matter what happens...

please stay valiant.

Thank you.

Eunuch Kim.

What is it?

Your Majesty...

they...

they want...

they are demanding the Royal Seal from you, sire!

[Rebel]

Those days won't come back. Your days are over, Teacher.

We need to kill the mice that snuck into Hyangjumok.

Those mice will spread all kinds of diseases in Joseon in the future.

If you don't draw a line with Teacher Song

you may end up like Prince Choongwon.

Sire, give up the Royal Seal and move to the East Palace.

How can you betray His Majesty to save yourself now?

Nok Su...

Sire, it is time to change out of the robe.
