- Why are you doing this? - Why are you doing this?

What have I done wrong?

This guy doesn't know what he's done wrong.

Please tell me. What did I do wrong?

Yeah? Well, should I just talk?

Bro! Wouldn't it be better to start off smacking?

What do you think?

Let's talk to him if he understands first.

Alright, let's try to talk him out!

Pull him down!

Bloody plan, reservior shit came out of head, right?

Yes or no answer.

All the high officials don't talk, man.

You made it right?

Then go and talk to Princess Wooyoung

and say 'I was out of my mind'

And pretend it never happened.

If you do that, we can be very friendly.

By the way, where did you live?

I was at the castle Sabi.

Sabi, Sabi, is the castle yours? Stupid!

Where about in Sabi? Is it inside or outside?

It's inside the castle, Taehaksa.

It must be a nice place!

It all depends how you do here. It can be like Taehaksa,

Or it can be like hell.

Off you go! Go and sleep tonight.

It looks like your arm was hurt quite badly.

No, no, no. You can't scream!

Right, be quiet and quiet.

Episode 42.

Did you talk to the Princess?

This guy won't listen like that.

Stay out of this, idiot!

Did you or did you not?

I don't say that.

What?

Reservior is for everyone's sake.

Say it again.

You don't know it well.

Reservior is for making a waterway to supply every field.

It will help to increase crops for next year farming.

So even if this winter is harsh for you...

What are you doing!

I asked what you're doing?

We were having a stone lifting game.

Yes, that's right!

Is it true?

- Is it really true? - Yes, it's true.

You don't believe us?

It's true.

Except Jang, you all go to sleep.

Yes, yes.

What is it?

Do you still have the plan that I made?

Yes, I do. Why do you ask?

I need to see it, please.

Are you being beaten because you're new here?

I'll take care of it. You must not interfere.

Why do you want to see the plan?

Why we're making reservior and how we have to work,

Field director, Naesol

and soldiers don't seem to know much.

And slaves are worse.

Really?

So efficiency is low and they have no motivation.

Then, what's your idea?

I need to examine it more but something is really wrong here.

I see, examine it.

This construction must be done by the schedule.

Yes!

You there, what are you doing!

- There, there! - There, what?

- Stone wall over there. - What about it?

If you build like that, it'll collapse. Disaster can happen.

Even if disaster doesn't occur.

It will collapse, if flood comes in next summer.

Even if the purpose of reservior is not priority,

crop fields will be filled with water.

- So what? - What?

If so, what's the reason for construction?

Shut up! What do you know! Shut up and work!

Move!

What's your business here?

Sir Naesol! Please listen what I say.

I'm a slave at the moment but I planned this construction.

But if you construct like this, stone wall will break down.

A disaster may occur.

So please adjust it.

What? Disaster! What the hell do you know about it?

Sir Naesol!

You still think you're Eunsol,

If you don't want to get whipped, watch what you're saying!

Sir Naesol! That's not what I meant.

Don't you get paid from government?

Don't you have to do proper construction?

- Hey! Is anyone there? - Yes!

Take him now and teach him what my position can do.

Yes, sir!

Sir Naesol! Sir Naesol! Sir Naesol!

Still you can't do this.

You mustn't pile it like this. You have to do it again.

You have to do it again!

You mustn't pile like this. It'll collapse, do it again.

Are you insane? Piss off!

- I'm dying to do this. - You mustn't pile like this.

You must do it again. No!

You psycho freak. Go away, I'm busy.

Reservior will be flooded, please no.

Go away, you crazy!

Bro! This, this man is totally insane.

Do something about him.

Right, you want to go as far as you can?

May I teach him a lesson?

You mustn't pile like this! You got to do it again.

Guys, teach him some lesson.

Yes!

You psycho!

Stop it!

What are you doing!

What happened?

This idiot said that it is wrongly built and reconstruct it.

And slaves got mad at him.

Reconstruct? What are you talking about?

Then, Naesol knew this and didn't do anything about it?

But to meet the deadline, we have to keep going.

Do you understand what you're doing?

I'm higher than you here, Princess!

So you were hidding the King's eyes

And proceeding worthless construction?

Reconstruct it again!

But if you do that, we have to extend labor hours now.

If that's the case, you have to!

Then slaves will...

You're afraid of slaves and do the national work like this!

Then, I will deliver it as your order, Princess.

Whoever it is, do it now!

Furthermore, if anyone touches Jang because of this,

I will take the man's life. I'm letting you know!

Slave Jang pointed out that construction was wrongly done!

Pardon?

So the reservior will be reconstructed from tomorrow!

Pardon?

Do what again?

No, no! No!

Plus, we have to meet the dealine of contrustion in Spring.

From tomorrow, Princess ordered that your sleeping hour

Sleeping hour will be reduced to 12am to 2am.

What! Oh! I'm dying!

Also whoever touches Jang won't be safe.

It's from Princess's direct order.

I've informed you so dismiss!

- Down on your kness! - You worthless bastard.

This, this guy is really evil.

Right, brother! How could be use Princess to

put us to the death?

No, that's not what I did.

Whatever you did,

should I kill him and die after him?

Yes, yes, just kill him.

Please, listen to me.

It needs be done properly to increase the crops for next year.

And this success will extend to whole contury of Baekjae,

this is to be wealthy and fruitful.

Please have the hope high.

What a psycho you are!

How can you be sure

we'll be alive by next Spring?

And if you have eyes, look at our hands.

We're working in this freezing weather,

our hands are frozen, stones roll over to us.

We just have 2 meals a day. We're starving to death!

But now reduce sleeping hours? For what? For what?

Every year Taehaksa people say

this will increase the crops, that will increase crops

So the crops are increased!

But we always have 2 meals a day!

What? Baekjae gets strong and easy to live? Hope?

How does the hope look like? Bastard!

You crazy! You got a mouth to talk?

Do you know how I become a big brother to people here?

Guys who were crushed by stones,

at least, I had energy to save them. That's what happened!

That's our hope here.

Not to die from stone and cold,

Not to die by whip, that's our hope here, idiot!

But you took the hope from you.

One hope to sleep! You took it away from us.

We have to sleep not do die, but you took it away from us!

You'll see, bastard! See what happens tomorrow.

See what you have done yourself!

Bro! Don't say shit.

Let's just get rid of him.

- That's right, brother! - Let's finish him off!

Move, idiots! Go to sleep.

Are you alright?

A man is hurt!

Brother! Do something!

You idiot!

Brother! He's dead.

Doctor,

you said people are born with a mandate from heaven?

That's not true.

I forgot it all.

In my plan, there was no hope for people.

There was only hope for me.

What should I do?

No!

What are you doing in Princess's room?

Alright, let's clean him up and finish off Princess.

Finish off? What are you trying to do?

Your damned eyes don't see our lives, huh?

After we're all dead, you just need to complete the reservior.

So I have to see the end.

It's the same if we die this or that way.

- No! This will. - You idiot!

You can't even fight with me.

I'll be responsible, so please!

Your decision will kill us all. Please don't do this.

Just finish him off.

I planned this, I will solve it in anyhow.

Solve what? You made us work until the night.

I wasn't careful. I'll work things out again.

What are you thinking, bro! I'll do it if you can't do it.

What's the noise! Who's there? Who's there! Go in!

Now! This is the only chance.

Let's take him!

Come here!

He'll get us caught.

Before he talks, let's just kill him.

Let's kill him!

Alright! I'll give you some time.

We're going to die anyway.

It won't be late to die after watch what you're doing.

But if you make a wrong move, you won't die peacefully!

I need to talk you.

You must be out of your mind.

If that's a problem, I can tighten them down.

Who are they?

I will settle them down, name them!

It's not about the discipline.

Then what's the problem?

I think the plan itself is wrong.

Wrong?

To bulid a reservior and waterway, and recreate field

To paddy field to increase crops, were you wrong about it?

That is true.

Then isn't construction going well?

No, even if the crops increases, with present regulation,

People can't eat properly.

They don't have that kind of hope.

Nothing would change if it's reconstructed.

Not understanding its intention and method,

no, they don't need to understand it.

This is only the hope of Imperial.

And if we need to meet the deadline,

slaves and farmers injury would come large.

That's the cheap sympathy.

That is demanded all the time from Imperial,

and Imperial need to be cautious of it.

No, if the plan involves their hope,

I would have convinced them in any way!

Whatever you say, I will force it to achieve.

It'll be succeeded if their desire is piled up.

A lump of stone, handful of sand need their hope.

Now, my hope is more important than their hope!

This depends on our return to the palace.

If I finish this successfully,

The Lord promised me for return.

Return, return to the palace...

How's Wooyoung doing?

She's spurring on the construction.

Really?

It's funny.

The first accomplishment as a King, Wooyoung is making it!

How is it going?

The first was failed.

How?

He told slaves to solve it by himself.

Let's just wait little longer.

Princess talked about returning to palace,

so she will force the construction soon.

What is it?

Yes, investigated files of Jin's merchant all over the region.

Have you found anything?

Yes, she's developing a mine secretly.

She's developing a mine without my permission?

Yes, so this is the work journal from her mine.

There were suspicious sites at Nosaji and Maero,

So I dispatched soldiers there.

Well done. Find out in detail.

Yes!

What? Mine is exposed?

There were movements from soldiers at the mine in Achak.

What about Byukjung mine?

The work journal were lost a couple of days ago.

I think there was an intruder.

Even work journal!

Don't we have a problem now?

Giroo is taking a target on me.

Extensive inspection seems to happen.

We have to move faster than them.

We have to use discomfort of nobles.

A rookie grabbed the financial influence in one day.

Nobles wouldn't be happy with Giroo.

All fields and servants from Jinryu were taken to Giroo.

So you want to use nobles' relation of power?

Correct! Who would be unsatisfied with it?

It would be King's in-law, Hae Dojoo?

It's notjust him.

Sa Dokwang doesn't want the division of their power.

If Giroo appears as a new noble influence,

Their union may get broekn.

For now, I'll meet them.

For the worst case, lady Jin and captain should avoid this.

Seochung and Bomyung, make shelter for them.

- Yes. - Yes.

Where are you going?

I need to see Jang.

We're not from Taehaksa so I think we can see him.

- Yeah? - So,

If you have anything to give him.

- Where is lady Jin? - She went out for a business.

What? Jang is in danger of his life

But she's out there making money?

What if he gets intimate with Princess Wooyoung?

Does she want to chase the star?

That's what I mean!

That's nonsense.

Men don't refuse women!

She even confessed in front of everyone as a Princess,

She would shake him down.

I think so but we're in the middle of emergency.

Emergency?

Yes, military police is inspecting our store!

My lady and everyone else are discussing the strategy.

They might be taken soon.

Bumro! What do I do?

I'm scared, Bumro.

It's alright.

They wouldn't have gone far.

If you have anything to give to doctor, I can run and give it,

If you keep talking about him, please don't come to me again.

You're mean.

You're mean and mean.

Were you mean like this?

Is anybody who has the name Mojin like you so mean?

How can the love change in overnight?

Can love be boiled like alcohol in a day?

Can it be possible?

I thought you could quit your heart towards him,

and I believed that you'd come back to me,

you're durable and mean. My affection should stop!

I should leave you but it's foolish I can't leave you.

What is it?

Doctor.

Go on.

There's a way to return to palace.

They'll guarantee the return when the reservior is completed.

If that's, that's...

Isn't chance coming earlier than we thought?

If we can go back to palace, if we can return to castle Sabi,

don't we have to do anything?

Don't we have to think about their sacrifice,

after achieving our great plan?

For its order, for my goal,

shouldn't we have to forget their hope?

Hey! Someone's looking for you.

Your mother wants me to give this to you.

I know it isn't. It's alright.

Yes, are they alright?

Yes, they're good.

It's not things to hide. You got to be honest.

Honestly, military police is secretly inspecting the store.

How about my lady? Is she alright?

She's alright but Giroo is very determined that

He's searching thoroughly.

They're discussing everyday. They will have a plan soon.

What is Princess Wooyoung doing?

She loves you and all that and what's with your face?

Your body and clothes. I feel so upset!

Jang, please return quickly.

Your adorable, your life, Jin Gakyung is in danger.

Yes! Forget about everything and just think about returning.

I got it, so deliver this to the lady.

Tell her I will go back.

Until I do, please be safe.

Ok.

Princess! Because of me... because of me...

Why do you stand on the same road of mine?

If you're in trouble because of me, then...

What should I do?

I miss you so much!

I miss you crazily!

You said you'll solve it?

I have a bad temper. Before I do something, get it done.

Listen up! Wrap up for tonight and come back tomorrow.

That's it for the day!

Think carefully, huh!

What's up?

Why do you let him do that to you?

Sacrifice follows with the extensive construction!

Their lives aren't theirs any more.

They didn't have hope in the first place!

There's only hope of Imperial.

So tell me who tried to kill you and spur the construction.

Let's succeed greatly and go back splendidly!

So go and tell them.

If you don't do that,

If you give up returning, I will give up on you.

I can creep to the palace and beg my brother.

I can breathe quietly beside mother.

If I abandon you,

you and doctor have no one to protect you!

If so in this cruel place,

do you think you can continue your life here?

So tell me who tried to kill you.

After getting rid of them, we can spur the construction!

Final decision is on you!

Anyway you'll have the same answer!

Princess! Princess!

Why are you here now? I was worried about yourself.

We will pack our belongings now.

Yes.

Why? Did situation got worse?

Pardon? Lady! Nobody looks good.

Yes, pack lightly so we can run away any time.

Nothing happened since then?

Yes, nothing special. Eunjin and Bumro came by.

Why? Something happened to duke Seodong?

It's not that, they were going to see him in Bukjung!

They came to pick up things to send to him.

What? Then!

You should send this, this glove at least.

I didn't know it was there.

Why didn't send this?

I didn't know.

Then you could've sent something!

I'm sorry.

It's freezing out there! It's freezing!

It'll be so cold!

Lady...

It's freezing, really.

Lady!

I'll just give it to him. Just give it to him.

Lady!

Where is she going?

She couldn't wait to see him,

she went to the field to see him.

I just need to see your face.

Just his face...

Let me see him just once. His name is Jang.

Are you talking about Jang the Eunsol?

That's him!

I'll let you see him, but come tomorrow!

I have to go back tonight, I won't take long.

I'll be in trouble, if I let you do that now.

I just need to see his face, please.

Hey! You!

You! Didn't I tell you to find out or not?

Brother! What are you waiting?

Let's just kill him and get the hell out of here.

He's right!

Be quiet, idiots!

When I told you to do it, do it quickly.

- No! - Let me just see his face.

I won't take long.

When I told you, you listen and do it.

He's thinking us as...

Get him! Hey, hey!

What!

- Where is he? - What?

- The woman! The lady. - She's gone!

- Where to? - She just left.

This is it! She asked me to give you this.

You're careless than I thought.

I still haven't given up my goal.

So I tried not to expose you to the lord.

- I know. - And you're doing this?

His eyes would reach here as well.

I know that...

But I cannot control my body.

- Still... - If you can't understand me,

you don't know what love is.

But,

I will try bearing it.

Yearning and the fear,

I will try bearing all by myself.

I'll leave him to you, Princess.

For him, I will do my thing.

Please tell him this.

I don't want to see him, I really mean it.

But, the hands you hold me would blister, I send gloves.

Jang! What is it? Jang!

Doctor!

My lady just came here.

Doctor!

I'll just push it forward.

To put their hope, either it is properly built or not.

So either massacre will occur, I will just push it.

People are just like it.

Without any hope or profit,

labor and service, that's people.

I used to be like that.

When construction is held, it's common that people die.

And the benefit is just for Imperial and nobles.

To gain their hope, and prepare the plan.

That's wrong. Is it possible?

Is it really possible? There isn't one.

It wasn't there in the first place.

Jang!

I miss her so much.

I'm going crazy because I want to go back to her.

People, the rule, hope, what are all these?

I want to make an achievement in anyhow to return.

Please, please! Tell me it's better that way.

Please, please! Tell me it's alirght that way.

Jang!

Princess Wooyoung is here.

Tell her how you feel.

I will give up!

I will give up my plan.

Jang!

I will stop the construction.

This, this means you will give up the return to palace.

I know.

If I abandon you, you'll be a slave here for ever.

Yes, I know.

But I thought about it deeply,

although it's just fake hope,

until I make the plan with little hope for people,

I won't do this work!

How, how!

How!

How was my heart stolen to you!

You've learnt things that you could never learn in palace.

It's giving up!

The throne is the position of desring the self achievement.

For achievement, anything can be pushed.

To hide the failure, anything can be disguised.

Who would discuss the failure of King?

Who would critisize the lie of King?

Do not rely on the greed of achievement,

admit the failure of yours, and let it go.

That's the virtue what King should have.

And what you have exchanged our return

were lives of people and hope.

Even though you don't achieve anything,

I will support you.

Doctor!

I will start it again here.

Although it's slow,

Although I go around the long way,

I will go where I should go.

I'll believe in it.

Even if you come around and slow,

I believe in you that you'll come to me.

We're resting today!

- Pardon? - Go in!

What are you saying?

The construction is discontinued.

- What? - Pardon?

Princess Wooyoung reported to palace, so rest for tonight.

From tomorrow, we will exchange to mine.

Just! Lay it out.

You said you'll go to the mine tomorrow?

Yes.

Mining is hard, is it alright?

Of course! I used to do that! Isn't it?

Of course! No need to repeat.

I need to see you for a second.

What I can't bear

Is using power over weak people.

So?

All the beatings I had, I would just bear it

but you got to pay the price of harrassing other people.

What? Do you want to have a go?

It seems a strong and good fighter is the captain,

Let me be the one.

- Don't regret this. - You'll see!

Bro! I'm sorry, bro!

I've never served a man upon me. I've been rude to you.

Winning makes me the captain,

and I've never lost fight.

So I never had a big brother to serve.

So let's fight. Why do you call me a brother before fight?

Just be the big brother. I can see the result.

And I heard what you said last night.

Well, I didn't understand it all

But I want you to be my big brother.

You look way older than me but why am I your big brother?

What? I'm only 18 years old.

I look old at a glance but I'm a young boy if you look carefully.

I'm very young.

Uh- huh! How could!

Is that true?

Are you saying princess really gave up the plan?

Yes!

Not knowing the reality, Jang and Mok Rasoo disguised it

And tried to blindfold Wooyoung.

So I determine to stop the plan.

How did Jinryu's case going?

All of his assets and private soldiers,

- Did you belong it to you? - Yes!

Plus, you're raised as nobles.

So do the procedure at the board of meeting.

Attend the board of meeting!

I'm very pleased, sir!

Lord! There's a rumor of theives in southern region.

This is negligence of military police. Please punish me!

How bad is it?

It's not certain but they're invading only nobles' residences.

Nobles are very cautious.

Look at this! General!

General didn't know this becase of Jinryu's case.

It seems scattered soldiers of Jinryu attempted this.

Small matter becomes the big.

Before it gets big, settle it down.

Yes!

Sir Premier!

I will visit your residence some day.

Sir Preimier! Isn't the lord favoring him too much?

He is so...

How did it go?

Jang finally gave up the reconstruction,

so it's failed to make the revolt.

He's going to be wasted there forever.

Did you find out more about Jin's mine?

Yes, she has 8 mines.

- What? 8 mines? - Yes.

- Did you find it in detail? - Yes!

I got it!

They'd know that we are investigating them, what do I do?

Dispatch soldiers close to the store

that they can't run away.

Yes!

And make the report of those mines.

Yes.

After I suspend the it,

I will report it to the lord.

Let's go!

I'm prepared.

I will see Sir Hae and you need to meet Sir Sa.

I got it!

You have to get the promise. We can only rely on it.

I understand what you mean.

Let's go quickly!

Sir!

What is it?

It's nothing.

Alright.

You bastard!

- Are you sick? - Yes, I am.

What is it!

It's about military police.

It's about military police so I don't need to know?

You can't do this to me but Giroo can.

You know how I raised you! Talk to me now!

Yes!

The store, it's about the store.

Store? Which one?

- Sir! - Bastard!

It's the Jin's store.

Jin's? What about it?

What, why are they inspected?

Nothing!

Abigi store isn't enough for them.

They want to eat up the Jin's store.

Do it clearly!

I came to see Sir Hae. Please tell him Jin Gakyung is here.

Sir, Jin Gakyung is here.

I've a guest, tell her to come later.

I see, I'll come back next.

Has 8 mines are exposed?

Yes, 4 of development rights are handed over to Premier.

But there's a problem.

Problem?

All of them are from the same merchant.

And it's protected under name of general.

What?

If the lord finds out this,

he will suspect you, Sir Premier.

What merchant is it?

- It's the merchant Jin. - What?

So when general reports to the lord,

general requested you to take care of it neatly.

Then, I need to get going now.

What's your relationship with the general?

I'm just sharing the same interest to serve the king.

Merchant Jin Gakyung?

I have a guest, tell him to come later.

Yes!

Please come next time.

I see.

Why did you want to see me for?

I feel you don't comfortable about me.

I never knew that I would get

all the assets and private soldiers of Jinryu.

I know that.

He had rewarded Heuk big time,

The King is very generous.

Of course, he wants to restrain us by you.

But I don't quite have the same idea.

Anyway Imperial and nobles are leading Baekjae.

It's not good for the nation to be large on just one side.

Please don't dislike me.

While I was investigating each region precisely,

national resources were leaked.

Leakage?

I've found secretly developed 8 mines.

Really? Who did it?

It's the merchant Jin.

Isn't the lord looking after her merchant store?

Yes! But she blindfolded the lord this time.

Please help me to shut down the Jin's store.

If you do that, I'll hand over 4 mines to you, sir.

Have you met him?

He had a guest. I'll have to go back later.

Same here. Let's wait little and go back.

I can't wait here. I gotta see him again.

I'll revisit him!

- Did you dispose soldiers? - Yes!

As soon as I give an order, strike them!

Yes, sir!

Sir! The merchant came again.

I don't feel well, tell him to come next time.

Yes!

How did it go?

It seems Giroo already has used it.

Is there a way to see the King?

I looked for some places, but seeing the lord is

in charge of military police.

Lady! Lady!

- We've a problem! - What is it?

Soldiers and sinister men are coming this way!

- What? - We should run! Now!

Did really soldiers intrude in?

Yes, I ran here as soon as I saw them.

Anyway one of the sinister men came into the house.

Lady!

Did soldiers really intrude in?

- It is true that they are. - But?

They wanted to see the lady.

Aren't you the Imperial guard?

I am.

I don't think they're here to arrest.

They can arrest very suddenly.

Aren't you Sir guard?

What brought you to shabby place?

I came here to find out something.

Please come in.

Make them a good feast.

Yes.

Please go inside, sir.

Are you close with the general?

I mean... military is investigating your store,

is it because you're close with him or he's looking after...

He's trying to take our store.

Is it? Am I right?

Yes, of course!

Frankly we wanted to see you, sir

but higher person like you, we felt little hard to meet.

Did, did you?

Yes, what we have done so far,

general has misinterpreted to the King.

Yeah! He's like that! He's like that!

But you came here to see us,

I'm so pleased. Please help us.

Yes, otherwise our store will be handed over to general,

- Let's go. - Yes.

Lord! General is here.

- Come in! - Please go in.
