Episode 4

"Choi Young...

I only trust that guy."

The eunuch we planted heard it in person.

The king said to Choi Young in person.

He said, "In this world, there is only one person I believe and it's you."

Remind me again of the who the father of this leader of Woodalchi is.

It is Choi Won Jik.

And direct descendant of Choi Joon Ong,

the meritorious contributor during the founding of Goryeo.

His grandfather is Choi Ong, the scholar of literature who taught King Chungnyeol.

Why did such a son of fine lineage become a mere swordsman...

As his father died when he was 16, he went into the swordsman's way.

They say he was at the age that he was the youngest leader of the Red Crescent Moon Army.

Red Crescent Moon Army!

That is a group of only the top men who use inner powers and sneak into an enemy's camp to attack.

I know.

You must have heard of them...

Because they come and go at night skillfully like a ghost, they were also called Gwi Wul Dae. [Spirit/Ghost Moon Army]

Just seeing the flag of their Red Crescent Moon, the Japanese army would run away and retreat.

So the Japanese were out of their minds trying to run away.

I have heard all of that and even how that great group met its demise.

Red Crescent Moon...

That Choi Young was the leader of that group!

Was the attempted assassination of that Yuan Princess failed due to that Choi Young?

It seems so.

I hear the new king is so weak that he can't even ride a horse.

I must have him.

Choi Young, that man?

I've only heard of the name of Red Crescent Moon.

Why didn't I think of bringing one of that group to my side until now?

Money and riches, offer him everything.

Do anything to bring him.

Have you still not found it yet?

General! Everything has been done.

Alright, how many men?

We only gathered trustworthy people. We have only about 100 men.

And what about the Princess?

Lady Choi said she will take care of the Queen's quarters.

And said to just focus on taking care of the King.

But still, this is the palace and they are subjects.

Would they dare to harm His Majesty and the Queen?

I used to think so, too.

That if I brought them to the palace that they will be safe. But...

I stopped thinking that way after meeting Gi Cheol yesterday.

How do you feel about him?

It was extremely

scary.

Excuse me?

You saw it yourself.

In his banquet, when you tried to make him bend his knee in the name of the Royal order.

Well, that...

I was very mad.

If only we had pressed on then, we could have...

If we had pushed on at the time,

he would have attempted to attack the King instead of me.

If the situation turns to the matter of killing the King, then the first blood will flow from us, Woodalchi Army.

I don't want to die like that.

The west building roof is empty, place some more soldiers there.

Then, are you going to leave alone those traitors, who deserve to be torn into pieces?

- How on earth the Court subjects of this country... - Don't waste your energy.

We don't know until when we have to stay up all night. So save it.

The west building roof.

Yes, I understand.

You're not okay, are you?

Earlier, the heaven person's words...

Shut your mouth.

General...

You heard. There are only 100 trusted Goryeo men.

And what would happen if the man in charge collapses?

More importantly,

if I collapse now,

our last chance will disappear.

If, this beggar-like situation, isn't a dream...

what is it then?

I rode in a time machine?

But, that kind of machine, I've never seen it before.

Doesn't the size seem a little small?

What happened to those clothes I gave you?

I don't like the layered style. Layers after layers, drooping.

I hate untidy things.

That is underwear. Something you shouldn't let other people see.

Or, perhaps a Star Gate?

Or, what was that again?

Wormhole! Yes, that's right.

According to Einstein,

you can travel in time through a wormhole.

There's a physics theory like that.

Although, I dislike science fiction and fantasy.

How am I supposed to explain all this?

How is this Goryeo?

That surprised me!

Who??

She is called Deok. She knows everything about medicinal herbs.

She's the owner of a pharmacy.

Seom Seo and No Geun Bang... and is this Dam Jeup?

What is that?

It's a medicine that gets rid of all the toxins in your body.

You said the Woodalchi general needed these?

What did you say these were?

Seom Seo.

A toad.

And it's the dark toad venom.

The glabella...

Between the eyebrows.

You wring out the oil by hand and dry it through the dark night.

It's to treat abscess or inflammation.

But, in the heavens, you don't use these?

I heard you were Hwata's apprentice.

Who?

Hwata. The Divine Healer.

Hwata?

Hwata?

Ah! That Hwata?

Do you know him?

The world has changed a lot of course!

We swear an oath to Hippocrates.

I get permission to practice medicine,

and will serve for the better future.

Hi-?

Hi-ppo-cra-tes.

Over there in Greece...

Divine Healer!

I came here to fetch the divine healer.

Please come in.

Is this Goryeo celadon?!

Do you know how much this is worth?

Excuse me?

Well you see, this isn't rare yet so it shouldn't be that expensive, right?

Where can I buy this?

Do you like it?

Hello.

I heard you are a King... I'm not sure how to bow to you or anything...

This is also my first time meeting someone from Heaven. I'm also not sure how to address you politely.

How about we talk freely?

Is that so?

I would like it that way.

As soon as I returned to the palace, there were many things that I needed to attend to so I wasn't able to talk to you.

How's your stay so far?

I'm usually not the complaining type, but...

since you are asking me...

The food is too bland

and it seems you don't have kimchi.

Kimchi containing red chili pepper powder.

Also! I would like a hot bath, but...

I will look into it.

Divine Healer.

Yes, me?

I have a rather big request for you.

Would you hear me out?

Do all the people of this country think that way?

Excuse me?

Do they all wish for me and the King to die, is what I am asking.

No, it is not.

Then are only some of them, General?

I'm just a warrior who doesn't know anything about politics.

I asked you.

First, could I ask you about one thing?

I'm listening.

When did you learn Goryeo's language?

It was 2 years ago that you were asked to marry the King.

To learn it in 2 years is a too hard to believe since you speak so fluently.

So are you saying that you're reluctant

to talk about Goryeo's affairs to a Yuan Dynasty person?

I overstepped my bounds.

I will take back my question.

It was 8 years ago.

8 years ago I saw someone.

He was from Goryeo.

I started learning so that I could talk to him.

Does that answer your question?

Please sit down.

Now it's your turn.

Answer me honestly, like how I answered you.

There is only one person who would

kill the Goryeo King and Queen.

The older brother of Empress Gi.

Are you talking about him?

His power is so strong like a storm.

I heard that our strength is like a small flame compared to his.

It is similar.

If that person kills us and becomes king...

you would probably become the head of his Woodalchi right?

Stay awake at night to protect him,

and throw away your life in battle for him.

If I don't die before that happens,

that is probably what would happen.

Is that why you are trying to kill yourself?

For this king or another, you're tired of this position you didn't want and risking your life for them...

Is that why you're thinking to die?

Your Highness.

You're burning up.

I heard you are refusing treatment.

Please remove your hand.

Don't die. That is your Queen's order.

High Doctor?

Yes.

I am asking you to be the High Doctor of this country.

What is that?

Aside from that, Your Highness, I need to return.

I know. However...

I...

got kidnapped, and then kidnapped again... and almost died...

I'll let that all go.

Instead, when I go,

a Goryeo vase, or some paintings...

if you let me take these items, I'll let everything go like nothing happened.

So...

How do you plan on returning?

The door that I came from?

Did you not see that door closing?

Even if it closed, you can't just reopen it?

A thousand years ago, that door

is the same door Hwata used.

No one knows when it will reopen.

That can't be!

Why are you throwing around words like that?

Then, what am I supposed to do?

Doctor,

this country has been under Yuan's interference for the last many decades.

I don't really know history...

I know that people of this country have to work hard to meet Yuan's demand for tributes every year, so their lives are not better than death.

It's not only Yuan.

Those who got the power from Yuan...

Excuse me, it's bit impolite of me to say this, but...

well, all politicians say that.

People are this, citizens are that, so in the end I can't just sit around and not do anything.

Well...

Doctor! How dare you interrupt the King!

Look!

See! If a citizen complains just a little bit, the officials get all enraged.

You just be quiet.

Your Majesty...

Ever since Goryeo surrendered to Yuan, the previous 6 kings of this country

had to use "Choong" (means "loyal")in front of their posthumous names.

Posthumous names... Choong?

Especially, my preceding king, Prince Kyeong Chang or King Choong Mok...

Choong Mok?

If it's Choong-something, this is the later era of Goryeo...

The later era?

What later era?

What was the name of the Emperor?

Not right now, but before.

Are you talking about posthumous names?

Before Prince Kyeong Chang who is now exiled,

King Choong Mok, then before him, King Choong Hae, and then.

Choong Hae! Choong Mok!

Even though I was bad at history, I was fairly decent at memorizing.

The genealogy of Goryeo Royal Family.

[This is a way to remember the king list]: Tae-hye-jeong-gwang-gyeong-seong-mok

hyeon-deok-jeong-moon-soon-seonn-heon

sook-ye-ee-[umm]-[umm]-oh... chung... chung-yeol

seon-suk-hye-mok-jeong-guk

OK, Chungmok, Chungjeong?

Gong...

Are you that Gongmin?

The People of Heaven

call me King Gongmin?

Two after Chungmok♪ is Gongmin! [Then came Chungjeong whose uncle was Gongmin.]

That's what history says!

Oh!

There is no Choong, Your Majesty!

Yuan's posthumous name, Choong is gone!

Then... if she's the Yuan princess then...

Princess Nogook?

Princess Nogook?

If it's true, then this is awesome!

King Gongmin and Princess Nogook, this is totally awesome!

You two are very famous!

You draw well, don't you?

Drawings, a little...

I saw it!

A painting you painted yourself.

If you go to Mapo Gu (one of district of Seoul), there is a shrine for King Gongmin.

There's a picture there! Next to it is Choi Young's shrine, also.

Choi Young?

Are you talking about the Wooldalchi general? How is he known in the heavens?

General?

That... person who kidnapped me...

The psycho I stabbed...

Who did you say he was?

So, the blood on this secret letter...

If this is blood of those who were poisoned to death,

or if it's normal blood,

could you distinguish between the two?

It's easy to tell if something is poisoned, but...

it's a little...

strange.

What do you mean strange?

Firstly, if this blood even belongs to a person...

we have to find out.

You are saying it might not be a human's blood?

Could I take this to test?

Yes, of course.

Joo Seok.

What is it?

- Excuse me? - The thing you were chatting about.

Ah!

- That's... - What is it?

- They didn't believe me. - What is?

- The doctor. - Doctor?

The general himself escorted the doctor from heaven. It's the truth.

We saw it with out own two eyes.

Although we tell them numerous times, they-

You guys, shut your mouths and do your jobs right.

Who is it? The person who first talked about her.

It wasn't us. It was from the King's Quarters.

What?

The eunuchs of the King's Quarters came out and talked about that.

By now, this story probably is spread

to the outside of the Capital..

Right now, people in the markets are talking about it.

That a divine healer from the heavens came down to the earth,

and with the Heaven's medical skill, she saved the Queen and showed the future.

We only answered their questions.

People asked it if was true. We said it was true.

Since you practice medicine, I thought it would be beneficial to be next to medicines, so

I have set up a room for you.

However, he said to give you whatever place you'd like.

Another place? There are more places like this?

The square feet (the size) is larger than here?

Would you like to see?

Should we go now? I really love looking at houses!

Ah, hello!

H-H-Hey! Young!

Is your name Choi Young?

I can't move around freely. Instead, I'll post some trustworthy guards by your side.

Post what by my side?

If you have nothing else to do, leave immediately. It is dangerous here.

There will be some people who will try to take you.

Who is? Why?

Just listen and do what I say!

Wait!

Why do I have to do what you tell me to do?

I also got someone who has my back!

Guess who that is? It's the King himself.

He requested I become a royal doctor at the palace.

So if I ask why,

shouldn't you give me an answer?

I heard you're not even an Army General.

Maybe your rank is only as high as a Captain? Or Lieutenant Commander at the most?

Deok.

Deok!

Do you have anything like a sack?

Help me to wrap this person around to carry.

And since she is loud, also get her mouth covered.

That will be a problem.

Doctor Jang!

It was His Highness' order.

To escort and protect this doctor.

Jo Il Shin...

this must be his shallow trick.

But still, it was a command.

Look here.

Hello? Choi Young!

A doctor from the heavens came down?

That doctor can bring a dead person back to life, and foresee the future of the country too?

A new King who is served by that kind of doctor from the heavens?

Even if the people are ignorant,

would they believe those words?

What's this?

Have you arrived?

I asked what you were doing.

I will light a fire on the patch of firewater which is made of 21 kinds of herbs,

so that the energy of fire can be absorbed underneath his skin.

Brother.

Are you lying there, knowing what that means?

It's just playing with fire.

Do you want to do it yourself?

Can I?

It can not be too hot!

About this much?

You should make the fire and stop it quickly.

Burning the face of you, Brother...

It's really pleasing me...

The letter you sent by a carrier pigeon,

the person from the gate of heaven, was that a doctor?

He cut the neck of that princess, but...

I heard that the Divine Healer saved her.

He said that she attached that neck again.

Did you not see this with your own eyes,

and only heard?

If I saw that, I would've brought her, not left her.

It's not possible.

It's not important whether it was true or not.

If ignorant people start to believe that story, it would become bothersome.

I heard she's in the palace. Should we bring her here?

Or, should I burn her?

I think I need to re-open the Court tomorrow.

Tell the Court subjects that I will go to meet the King.

Before that...

Are you able to sit up?

How long did I sleep?

It's only been about 1 hour since you fainted.

I didn't faint.

Nobody knows that you slept as if you fainted

besides Deok, me, and that person.

There was an infection in the place where we did surgery. Because of that infection, you had a fever.

By the way, those grasses, are they really working as antibiotics?

I thought you already gave up.

I said there was no medicine. No medicine that I know of.

I made some medicine. Please wait.

Your abdominal muscles are really good indeed.

I worried a lot when I opened your abdomen,

if other organs also got injured.

But luckily, there was damage only at the liver.

Indeed, it was thanks to the well-developed six pack.

Choi Young, that's your name right?

There's no other person named Choi Young in Goryeo right?

Then you later on become an Army General do to a lot of things.

So if I really went through a time warp,

that means it'll be that way since the history I know says so.

Anyhow, you must remain alive.

So that you protect Goryeo, fight wars, and get remembered by history.

Is that true?

That a person from the heavens can see the future?

I think I came from the future instead of from the heavens.

Future?

If I let you die here because of me,

I feel like something really bad will happen.

If you see in movies it's all like that.

History becomes all screwed up, or -

Please, don't get up.

Are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?

- X-Men. - What?

That woman - X Men! Supernatural powers.

Woodalchi's Choi Young. Right?

Should we greet later?

Fine.

How scary.

I have a message to give you.

Secretly. Not to let other people hear that.

There is nothing I want to hear from you.

You're too much.

Then die.

See you again, soon.

I heard you had been attacked.

Could they have wanted the doctor?

I heard among the Prince of the Court from Deokseong's subordinates, there are ones who attack with fire and with music.

It looks like she was one of them.

Is the Healer safe?

Thanks to you, yes.

Seems like you also tell white lies yourself.

How is it thanks to me the Healer is safe?

When it is you who are to thank for saving the Healer that could have died because of me.

We found this is at Sun Hwe Jung.

It seems that someone hid this under the rock while someone was dying due to poison.

The blood from this secret note seems like someone, attacked by poison, vomited on it.

However,

Doctor Jang said the result of a test verifies that the blood is not the blood of a human.

Centipedes usually do not react when they touch human's blood.

There's another blood that centipedes like.

It's chicken blood.

Then the blood stained on this letter is chicken blood?

Yes.

Then that means they planted this after they were murdered.

Who and why?

It must be someone who wants the world to see it.

Then what evidence would this be for.

You just need to wait.

Wait?

That person will come.

The fake evidence was originally created to seem that way.

Then if I show this, will I have to reveal the lie?

You could do that or act like you didn't know. It is your decision.

If I reveal the lie, then it means I will fight them.

If I pretend I don't know, then they will do what they want. You want me to decide on that by myself?

Yes.

So that guy will come to me himself.

My attitude depends on whatever I decide.

And since you finished everything you had to, you will leave the palace?

I am aware that I am permitted to leave the palace.

You will leave against my will?

The reason is that I made you break your promise in Cheon Yeol and commanded you to kidnap the doctor.

Were you that upset?

I needed just one person whom I could trust. And I had to find out that it was you.

I wanted to make my social status stronger

by introducing the doctor to the people even though I knew that the doctor could be in danger.

Has it really disappointed you?

I've been wishing to leave the palace for a long time.

Convince me.

It is a story which His Royal Highness

does not need to know.

If you don't want to tell this to a king,

tell the person who considers you as his only friend.

Even though I request it like that, you still won't do it?

I used to be in the Red Crescent Moon army.

Regardless of each member's background or success,

they were trained with the inner force

and protected my country, Goryeo.

They were gathered for that one purpose.

To me who had lost a father, they were family.

The captain was my teacher, and my second father. My peers were my brothers and sisters.

We used to find enemies' ships and burn them or

we assassinated the enemies' captains by breaking in from the back door.

Even though we were trained with inner energy, there were many of them and few of us.

There was a limit regardless of how scary we made the Red Crescent Moon army look and how we made the enemies confused.

We didn't get any supplies and support because we were night soldiers.

There were 3 groups and each group consisted of 24 soldiers,

so the total is over 70 soldiers but half of them died.

The thing we gained was the next mission.

In the beginning, we could trust the information, but

I don't know if the enemies got smarter or we had problems with our allies. There were many traps.

One day in spring, we were summoned by His Majesty

in order to honor the Red Crescent Moon army.

It felt.. like a dream.

Can you see me?

Do you see me?

This is so amazing.

You surprised me!

Okay.

Our teacher might get a high position in the Court.

Be quiet.

Why?

Isn't it true?

Do you think the reason the emperor called us was to see our faces?

A position in the Court.

And accommodation for our peers.

What else?

What should we ask for?

Teacher,

how about a horse per person?

We should get some fresh and young horses.

Everyday...

Listen carefully and remember...

We are supposed to meet the Emperor today.

He is the King we protected with our lives.

He might be different from what you thought of.

At the moment, you have to think of your peers who are waiting outside the castle.

We are going to be representatives, one by one.

Till the end, don't act foolishly.

He has summoned you.

Who are you, kids?

Your subject, general of Red Crescent Moon, Moon Chi Oh.

Together with the army members, we meet Your Majesty.

Ahh! Red Crescent Moon Army.

Sorry, sorry. Why couldn't I remember? That's so embarrassing. Aigoo.

Here it is. Red Crescent Moon.

I already know.

Heard you guys were so gallant.

Get up.

Get up quickly.

What is this?

The admiral's sword given by a ghost.

Let's see.

How many have you killed with this?

Ten?

A hundred?

It's a woman.

There's a woman.

Third assistant general. Danbaek is her name.

May I ask... does she also use martial arts?

Since childhood, she's mastered martial arts.

She is especially good at interception.

It's my first time seeing a fighter woman. How interesting.

But she looks no different than a common woman from the outside.

Take it off.

Without leaving anything on, take it off.

I want to see what is in there!

What are you doing right now?

Didn't I say to take it off? It's a King's order! A King's Order!

Damn it.

Why is a girl who fights so slow with her hands?

There isn't much left, hurry up and take it off!!

Do I need to use my own hands? Aigoo!

Such a disloyal subject!

Here, here...

Here, here...

What are you doing right now?

Your Majesty, it's just..

Just? JUST, just, just, JUST!

You guys saw that really well, right?

Look how arrogant these things are.

They say that the commoners trust them more than the me, the King himself!

So the one that the citizenry depend and trust more than me, the King...

the general of the Red Crescent Moon Army.

Answer me!

Yes, Your Majesty.

So is that true?

It's you who protects the commoners instead of me, the King?

It's wasn't like that, Your Majesty.

So...

is it okay for you to disobey my ORDERS!?

Not once have I disobeyed your orders, Your Majesty.

If it's like that.

You...

Come closer. Come closer.

I, the King, has an order.

You...

to undress.

A traitor who defies the King's order...

shall be met with the annihilation of her entire family and relatives.

Wha... what is this? Did it really go through?

The sword is so sharp.

It went right in.

Back off.

General!

Young!

To His Majesty,

make this promise.

From now on, you will be the King's shadow,

that you will be the Goryeo royal family's

guardian angel.

Make the promise!

That's how...

the Red Crescent Moon army, our kids, can live.

Young, look at me.

You must protect those kids.

Answer me!

Yes.

The offense shown before Your Majesty,

please forgive us.

I have brought these kids to Your Majesty.

Keep them by you, Your Majesty.

This group

of warriors...

will protect the King...

So, that's how you became a Woodalchi to protect the King. [Woodalchi - Royal guards]

So how many years has it been?

Seven years.

How many of them are still in this palace?

Some were sent out. Some died.

Now it is only I alone.

So, now you have nothing to protect anymore and will leave the palace?

Yes.

The one who killed your teacher must have been the Late King, Chunghye.

None other than my older brother.

Yes.

You must have resented me from the start, as I am his younger brother.

So...

after you leave the palace, what are you going to do?

First, I will take the doctor back to Cheonan, since I still have a debt to her.

While I wait for the heaven's door to open, I am thinking of becoming a fisherman. I...

am pretty good at catching fish.

After you repay that debt, what's next?

I am still looking for it.

The pretext I'm obliged to survive.

However, you have not yet completed the mission I gave you.

Remember that well.

Your Majesty...

- That... - Don't come out.

Because I do not have the honor to face you like this anymore.

Psycho!

Psycho!

Psycho.

He's showing signs of shock.

Raise his legs for me.

Yes.

We have to help his blood flow to his brain and heart.

We need some salt and sugar water.

And some blankets to keep him warm.

The General, what is wrong with him?

He's starting to have a seizure.

I need oxygen supply.

And a vasopressor.

If we don't do it right, he could develop aspiration pneumonia.

Yes.

I need IV though.

His pulse is fast but very weak.

General,

can you hear me?

I'm going crazy!

There's nothing here that I need.

Father.

Yes.

Can't I stay here with you?

Just...

here.

It's detoxification tonic.

It should be adequately cooled down.

I almost can't grasp the pulse.

Does this person.. not have thoughts of returning?

The command was just to get ready.

So I'm asking why do I need to get ready?

That is what the King's order is.

A decision has not been made.

However, no matter which I choose, the image of mine you will be seeing...

in any case, it would not look good.

By which... is which?

Which are you speaking of?

One.

Your King might bear himself haughtily,

and have his throne snatched away.

Then your life will be in danger too.

And the other one.

If I bow my head to fawn and to be ridiculed,

I can hold on to this seat.

Which side is more bearable, Queen?

I hate to bear both.

As I thought.

Where is the Woodalchi general?

He is unable to come due to an illness.

Is it

an illness?

Without Woodalchi,

we must go with Plan C.

That third plan is probably

one that came up by the schemer by you again.

At this time, Advisor Jo

is the only one who abides by me.

I am surprised.

That you would tell me

all of these things.

Because whether I suffer ridicule,

or suffer death,

you are the person who has to suffer it too.

His Royal Highness and the Queen are entering.

Have a seat.

Your Majesty the King. Your Highness the Queen.

Seeing your royal bodies in good health...

I am very thankful to the Heaven's protection.

Sure.

It is so.

I am also thankful for Heaven's protection.

I'm not sure if you heard the news,

but the path from Yuan to here, this royal palace...

was quite perilous.

The Queen, for a moment even

lost her life.

Why do you look surprised as if it's new?

Don't all of you know?

Hwata's gate to the Heavens opened

and a doctor was sent

to bring the Queen back to life again.

I have thought, and thought about it again.

"What does this mean?"

The Heavens... not Yuan nor Seoyeok.

How must it be Goryeo?

Why had the heavens sent a doctor...

to a feeble king like me?

What do you think?

Moreover, the healer has told me.

What I have to do -

What I can do -

This nation's tomorrow and the after.

That I am written in the Heavens.

You ministers...

want to hear it too?

This is really very hopeless.

Your Majesty.

I am Gi Cheol, Prince of the Court from Deokseong.

To be in the King's audience,

I came running here.

However,

Gate to Heaven.

Divine Healer.

High Doctor?

Though Your Majesty is young in age...

Though you left the palace and lived a long time in a foreign nation...

Though what you see and hear is dizzying...

Just which bastard -

The wily one there?

Answer me.

Wily thing!

Did I not say to answer!
