Original subtitles

Soon Premier will enter the hall.

Everything will be over within an hour.

Prepare yourself.

Yes.

I can't do this. I have to go out myself.

No, lord!

Guard asked me to escort you when alert. Episode 35.

He may be the killer of Prince Aja,

but he's still my yougner brother.

Even if he deserves to die, I need to see for the last.

- But, lord! - It's ok.

Welcome.

Sir Gook Janghyun is here. Please go in.

Welcome.

Did general go in this way?

Well, he didn't come while I was doing this.

- Did you see him? - No.

- Neither did I. - Me, neither.

I have to go and look for him.

- Of course! - Yes.

Dr. Giroo of Taehaksa is here.

- Dr. Giroo of Taehaksa is here. - What do I do?

Sir Bu Yeogye asked me to check if he can come out now.

Oh, is he ready?

Yes!

When I report him, he'll come right out.

Yes, the lord will come out soon,

so go and escort him.

Yes.

Welcome.

Why? He's not there?

Can I see you for a second?

Outside of the palace, Dalsol is with the military soldiers.

Tell him to lead those soldiers

to West palace and guard Sir Bu Yeogye.

But they can't come in here.

It's an urgent situation. Please tell him!

Ok.

Didn't he see this?

If he saw it,

Damn it! Didn't I tell you to clean it up?

What is it?

Lord is out there.

Didn't I tell you to hold on time him unless I alert you?

It's about Sir Bu Yeogye, so he feels anxious.

Alright, I'll be back. Do as I said.

Yes.

- Let's go! - Yes.

- How did it go? - Unexpected thing happened.

Unexpected?

Dr, Giroo of Taehaksa entered the door,

and I think he saw the blood we couldn't find.

What?

Success of this sort of work splits in a second!

We have no choice!

Your inferior take the door, you go to West palace with guards.

Yes!

If you want to be on time, you must leave now.

Yes, let's do that. Please go.

Yes, I see.

Here comes Dr. Giroo.

- How did it go? - You must not go.

Must not?

What's happening? What's going on?

General is no where to be found,

and I saw blood shed where Imperial guards were standing.

- Blood? - Yes, it was a few drops.

Are you certain? Did you look carefully?

Even if it's not ceratin, I just don't feel good.

So I called soldiers of Heuk, stay here please.

If you're saying the truth, it's dangerous here as well.

- I'll go to shrine. - To shrine?

We'll be there and send Heuk Chipyung there.

Yes.

They hid themselves!

- How do we do? - There are only two exits.

- Split into two and find them! - Yes!

- How about dalsol? - He's not there.

Not there?

He received a message from general and never came back.

What?

Giroo!

Why did Abigi is here for,

What brought you here?

Goosan said he met Heuk.

What are you talking about?

It wasn't delivered. Jangdoo is missing.

- What? - So I came to tell you.

Yes, I got it! Go back to the house.

Why are you going this way?

We'll escort you.

Military soldiers can't even come here!

How could private men enter here?

Strike them!

Please avoid!

We have a problem, lord!

- Why? - While we were escorting Sir Bu Yeogye,

Heuk came with his private men.

- What? - You have to avoid now!

Yes, you must avoid! Lord!

Are nobles and officials at the hall?

- But! - I'll go there

And proclaim the abdication script of Prince Mookang!

Lord! It's dangerous.

It will secure his lineage for the future.

- Lord! - That was my least will.

Even if I failed it, I must do that.

That is enough for me.

So you go to Dr. Mok.

The mission is failed, and I ran away.

And escape them with planned exit.

Yes.

It's been already an hour.

Now it's over. There are several foot steps.

Surely it's the servants who will escort you officially.

Guard here thoroughly!

Please go in.

What happened?

Shh!

What has happened?

Lord cheated on us.

Cheat?

Lord called general secretly last night,

and assassinated him with a poison knife.

What? Assassinate?

- Are you sure? Is this real? - Yes.

What about general? Is he alright?

He penetrated out of the death,

and went to medicine storage of Taehaksa.

He fortunately ate the detoxified medicine and he's alive.

What do I do with this?

Where is Sun now?

I was contacted not long ago,

so I came here to protect you

with my men immediately.

So, please don't worry.

General will command the military police!

Sweep them away! All of them!

- Let's go. - Yes!

Let officials hear it!

Soon the lord will recite the abdication script!

Doesn't it feel strange?

Yes, I feel it...

What's going on?

Lord, it's dangerous. Please you have to go.

But this, I got to read this.

No! You have to go now!

What are you doing! Escort the lord now!

- Yes! - Lord!

Find the lord!

- Find lord and take his life! - Yes!

How dare you!

- Have you packed the box? - Yes, lord!

I prepared as you ordered me.

What about Prince? Is he safely escaped?

I think so! So you need to go now, lord.

- I see. - Let's go.

- Are you alright? - Yes, what about father?

He's safe.

The King was trying to do something at the abdication.

Go and get the script.

Yes!

Are you ok, general?

That old fox fooled us.

Sir general! Sir general!

- What is it? - Look at this!

What is it?

The abdication script is, script is!

It's named as Prince Mookang.

What? Find him! He must be in the palace.

Whatever he is, find him! Find him!

Sir general! Sir general!

I'll take care of general.

Dalsol, you need to shut down the whole palace.

Alright, ok! Escort him.

Shut down the entire palace!

Espcially you go to Taehaska and shut down and find him!

- Yes! Follow me! - Yes!

Move it!

What has happened here?

Why are you so late?

I thought you were gone to heaven.

Are you ready?

- Yes, let's hurry. - Let's go!

From now on, Taehaksa is shut down!

- Until the next order is placed, - What?

Stay in your workshop and don't move.

Prince didn't come here, what's going on?

Here comes Baekmoo!

What happened?

Things happened.

Things?

Unexpectedly Sir Bu Yeogye escaped to the shrine,

Dr. Mok and Prince

can't come out of a secret room.

What?

Are they exposed?

Fortunately no.

They don't know about the secret room there.

Then, what should I do...

Lord! There is another anxiety.

What is it?

The hidden Jangdoo knows the face of Prince.

If Heuk Chipyung find him,

Damn it! I have to return to the palace.

Lord!

We'll go in.

You?

Yes, lord! We'll take them out of the palace.

We dressed the private soldiers so they can't distinguish us.

So you can follow the guards.

It's rude to say but if you're here,

we can't concentrate our power in one place.

So, please go with guard

and let us be responsible here.

Crown Prince Mookang?

What? Mookang? When did he invest the Crown Prince,

What? Mookang? When did he invest the Crown Prince,

And enthrone the Prince?

I found the script at the abdicatoin hall.

Oh, my. How could he!

So I'm looking for King and Prince,

But I can't find them yet.

How could my brother do this!

We waited and waited for normal process of abdicaiton.

Yes, it's worse than using soldiers quietly.

- Have you found him? - It's not that.

What?

Imperial guards are coming back to attack.

Imperial guards?

They came to save you.

Didn't soldiers surround the palace?

Yes, but they did.

Where did they reinforce the soldiers?

I don't think they did.

If not, how could they come back?

They must have reinforced!

Anyway concentrate the military soldiers here.

- And defend here. - Yes.

- What should we do? - Isn't it better to go out?

This is the safest place.

But to stay here, isn't.

I'll find if there's other door.

I found a door here.

Is it locked?

- It looks like it. - Make soldier to open it.

Yes!

Find if there's a big wood!

Yes!

- Sir general, - Why?

The reason why small numbers of guards attack...

Maybe...

It's the 4th Prince. It means he's here!

Right, right!

Break it, break it! He's here.

- Break it! - Yes!

- We repulsed them. - Really?

No troops are coming?

Yes, it's suicide squad. I don't think more will come.

Damn it! I lost him in front of my eyes.

- Thank you. - Don't say that.

We can't delay any more.

How about the lord?

He's safe. You two can come with me.

Chase them! Find them now!

Find them if you have to search the castle or whole Baekjae.

Does it mean general killed Prince Aja?

It says so! That's why King punished him!

What happened to the abdication?

I was in front of the palace, looking at it,

It was strange!

Strange?

Suddenly military soldiers intruded into the palace,

And high officials ran out of the palace.

Then, this must be true.

Yes, I heard that, too.

- What really happened? - You know!

Sir general killed Prince and he tried to do abdication,

But King disagreed, so he intruded in.

Is that what it is?

By the way, who won?

I don't know about that but soldiers guarding the palace

- Are military police, I think. - What?

Then, did general chop off the king?

That's total nonsense!

Lower your voice!

How did it go?

As soon as soldiers are released, people took it off

And reading it.

There's no problem spreading rumors.

What about palace? What happened to the palace?

Military police are guarding the main gate.

What? Military police secured it?

Yes, soldiers are walking around the market.

It doesn't look good.

I should've followed the owner.

What do I do? What if he gets in trouble?

Lady Jin! It's me.

What about lord? Why isn't he here?

First, have a seat.

Captain!

This is courtesy I have to do.

King ordered a thing. Please be seated.

Here!

I'll go to a safer place!

But you have to something in the castle,

for my and your security.

What's in the chest is needed for this work.

Can we go out now?

No! They'll guard the Taehaksa continually,

don't panic,

and do not leave your workshop.

What's happening now?

Where are those soldiers going?

Lord, doctor and Prince seemed they left here safely.

So they're gathering soldiers to find them.

What about Jang? I don't see him around.

Maybe Jang guards the doctor.

It should be dangerous!

Then, are we safe here?

Well, that's...

You all know what we have done?

The moment you talked about it, we're all dead.

If you want to live, you mustn't talk anything about it.

And we had our duties at the abdication,

So we won't be suspected.

Plus, if they ask about doctor,

well, we really don't know what he's up to.

Anyway in any circumstances, we strongly!

- Strongly! - Woosoo!

Why are you crying?

That, that...

Why?

The people who guided at the door,

Soji, Juriyoung, lady Gooksu...

Why? What happened?

As soldiers intruded in, they all died!

- What? - Dead!

What have they done wrong,

what have they done wrong!

King and 4th Prince don't seem to be in the palace.

Our soldiers have secured whole palace.

That's not the problem.

What do we do about abdication?

We have to force it tomorrow.

But we have no royal script and in front of everyone,

military police intruded into palace.

We can dominate with power but it's not that simple.

And nobles will resist to it.

I have to drive 4th Prince to a treason.

- Can it be done? - That's the only way we have.

- You escort the father. - Yes.

You quietly find the Royal Seal.

And make the script saying my father will be enthroned.

Yes.

What happened?

I think there are influence to slander the abdication.

But still, military police intruded palace in front of people.

People would look at it as revolt of general.

Revolt! What do you mean?

I'm talking about the people's perspective!

You have heard

Unclarified existence of 4th Prince.

That 4th Prince!

Killed Prince Aja and made me like this.

And he tried to kill the King and Premier.

I found out this and stopped it.

What about the King?

He left a royal script saying he will enthrone to Premier.

He secretly left to the temple.

Therefore, at the nobles meeting,

You can confirm the abdication to Premier!

Honestly...

This is the notice attached at the market.

It says general killed Prince Aja,

And King punished you.

What? How could nonsense notice?

This is the act of 4th Prince!

The problem is that this was attached by King's order.

And people are reading it and it's spreading.

If you force the abdication, people will accept it as usurpation.

What shoud we do?

Looking at general's behavior,

King didn't seem to die.

Yes.

The tendency seems to be general but signs are not good.

What would you do?

Wouldn't King go to Jinryu in Achak?

He would fight back with Jinryu's minimum private soldiers.

Then!

The tendency is leaning to general,

but I don't think we should rush the choice.

How the hell did you let them attach it all over the place!

I'm sorry.

It's not to blame dalsol.

It's hard to catch a thief with 10,000 soldiers.

What do we do?

It'll be usurpation, if we force it or if we don't.

I will have to force it.

If we force it without the Royal script,

we've disadvantage on fight with nobles.

They think something else if we give them time.

I must force it to disguise the script.

- Have you found the Royal Seal? - It's gone.

What do you mean?

It wasn't at its storage or King's bedroom or palace.

Then?

King! King did!

King took it with him!

You confronted this unimaginable situation!

I'm very resentful.

You don't have to be.

I should've done this from the beginning,

I did it too late, that's why it happened.

But lord!

You're here.

If you order suburban nobles to bring their private soldiers,

they will come.

If you can hold on to it,

certainly, people and heaven will be your side.

With your men and minor nobles' men,

we can't win over united nobles and soldiers.

Lord!

I have a different goal.

Because the Royal Seal is still with me.

These are loyal nobles to general.

Even if it was sealed by Royal Seal,

they won't follow King's order.

No, they won't.

Then what's the reason that King asked me to do this?

Don't you get it?

This is to make sacrifice for you.

One is he couldn't clarify you at the abdicaiton,

it's for that.

Second is nobles don't have absolute loyalty.

So he's providing a reason to oppose to general.

This will make you a sacrifice afterward.

Sacrifice.

Yes, Lord is only thinking about

how to be your sacrifice.

Lord!

How to use the sacrifice is now up to you.

Nobles should be still staying at the castle Sabi.

Yes, they should.

Do you know how important this is?

- Yes. - Don't get exposed.

Without missing one person, you have to succeed it.

Yes, I checked their movement,

so don't worry about it.

If you're exposed by military,

you have to let us know first.

- Yes. - Rush it!

Lord! I know what you mean.

I will achieve it. I will achieve it.

Nobles are here!

Escort them in!

- Have you all received it? - Yes.

It says kill general Sun and enthrone Crown Prince Mookang.

Another one is to send private troops to Achak.

What should we do?

Seeing the Royal Seal of King,

General doesn't have the Royal Seal with him?

This shows us the 4th son's plot is a lie.

And it's also lie that King left abdication script to them.

I didn't trust this...

The problem is King has no intention to resign.

This can cause a internal war.

Internal war would put general's hand up.

- Then? - Anyway this script will be

the gain to us after following situation.

Except Hae, noted 7 family must gather the power.

So don't make your move easily and watch what happens.

Don't we need to alert to general?

Well, shouldn't we assist the King first?

But considering the power, it's too obvious

that general will be enthroned.

That's what Sir Sa is thinking.

He's thinking what we can gain bigger in near future.

And if nobody reveals this,

no danger will be alerted.

Assassinate general and enthrone Crown Prince Mookang.

Prince Mookang...

What are you thinking?

I hope he's not telling us to enthrone who we don't know?

I don't think so!

But the existence of Prince Mookang

feels that he will strenghten our power.

Anyway general and Premier don't have the Royal Seal.

The Seal King and Prince has.

I'm thinking of sending Baekmoo to Japan.

To Japan?

Yes, Prince Seongduk of Japan

Has very close relationship with Prince Aja.

If we tell him the situation, he'll help us in diplomacy.

How did it go?

Yes, it's safely sent to all nolbes.

And they have gathered except Hae and Buyeo.

They might discuss the profit and loss.

There is no other way!

There is no other way.

Then? What can you do without the Royal Seal?

Can you forge the Royal Seal?

Can you do it?

I can do this,

but if forged seal is revealed,

our movement will be immobile.

Still this is the way.

Nobles don't know about the Seal's traces,

conduct the abdication quickly

And destruct King and Jinryu with King's order!

Sir general, we have a problem!

Come in!

What brought you here?

What? Assassinate me and enthrone Prince Mookang!

I never knew King would do a such thing.

Assassination?

There's nothing to be waited.

Arrest all nobles who saw this script, didn't report.

And enforce the abdication.

Do you want nobles to turn our back?

Right, they know the Seal is missing

and we can't afford to have internal war with them.

Then, what's your plan?

Would you be inveigled by King?

Or do you want

me to be assassinated by nobles?

Lord is only thinking about

how to be your sacrifice.

How to use the sacrifice is now up to you.

We have to capture the King alive.

We capture the King and find the seal and do abdication.

Are you saying to strike Jinryu?

Conciliation is first, but if it won't work.

We have to do that.

Will conciliation work?

He'll think about his family's future.

Where Prince Aja is gone now.

Why did you want horse for?

We're going to Achak.

Dr. Mok sent a message.

What does it say?

He sent my scripts to nobles.

And Baekmoo is sent to Japan.

That's great.

Certainly Prince Seonduk will be our strength.

Yes, lord! I sent messages to family of Gokna and Jomi

to send their private troops. Their responds will come soon.

Lord! You need to hang on to it.

My and Gokna's troops aren't

as good as other nobles.

But people are on our side.

Stay strong, lord!

Sir executive! Jomi sent a message.

Oh, did he?

See, lord! Our power will extent.

- Are you sent by Jomi Tajoong? - Yes.

Right, did you bring the letter?

He wanted to talk to you privately.

He came here? Then why didn't he come in?

It's not a suitable place, he wanted to see you outside.

Aren't a doctor of Taehaksa?

I'm the secret envoy of general now.

I'll repeat it, you only have one day.

If you pull this off nicely, the position of Premier

And the power of Yeon's region

will be returned to you all.

So just escort a company of King to palace.

What if I refuse to do so?

Private troops of general and Hae, also military soldiers

Will be ordered mobilized.

You have one day.

Lord! You don't look good.

I regret my old days.

Why couldn't I be more brave, I regret it.

Proper owner of the Royal Seal! I had powerjust for that.

Why was I so afriad,

after death is casted aside, I feel so relieved.

Lord! It's not too late now.

I know it's reckless.

After all, Jinryu's power will be pulled out,

and I will be disappeared.

But now

what I can do for Prince Mookang is just this.

For Prince Mookang,

I only can inform his lineage.

Enduring a day,

one person, one noble get to know him,

enduring 2 days, 2 people, 2 nobles,

enduring 100 days,

100 people and 100 nobles need to know him!

Lord!

I'm sorry for Jinryu

who showed unlimited loyalty.

But that's all I can do for now.

Lord!

But I thank him.

I thank Prince Mookang

Who gave me what I can do for him.

So you never know whether it's today or tomorrow,

when Sun's soldiers come

to fight with us,

you must escape.

Lord! That's impossible.

Must escape.

Deliver my will to Crown Prince,

and protect him.

Understood?

I said do you understand!

Yes.

I feel tired now.

I need to lay down.

You go out now.

I'll take care of him, you can rest today.

No.

Shouldn't you protect him longer?

Lord! It's time to get up.

He said he's tired.

Lord! Are you sick?

He is not.

Lord!

I have no choice.

How? How could, Lord! Lord!

Otherwise our family is exterminated.

Lord! Lord!

Just leave him!

He's escorted the King for his entire life.

They're coming.

Alright, let's go!

Lord is, lord is!

The Lord is arrested on their hands.

What?

Guard Wanggoo ran to get him.

Stop it!

Release the lord.

Lord? What are you saying?

I know all, release him!

Guys!

Save the King!

It's King! Save the King!

Lord!

I won't be insulted to you easily.

Lord!

You killed my son, Aja,

And tried to kill me, I won't forgive you!

Lord!

Lord!

The Crown Prince I acknowledge...

is only the 4th, Mookang.

Lord! Lord!

Spread this fact to all people.

Jang!

Call me 'father! ' Just once.

Lord! Tell me your imagination of Baekjae!

Tell me Prince Aja's imagination of Baekjae!

If I need to learn, I will!

If I need ability, I'll grow it.

For my brother, for you and for Baekjae!

I'm very sorry.

Jang!

Lord! Lord!

Just think of your will.

Lord! I won't cry.

I won't cry again.
