Original subtitles

What is it?

It's nothing.

That's where we hold ancestral rites.

Get up right now.

Are you ordering me around?

You won't get up?

No.

- You little! - Don't!

You shouldn't.

Move! He needs to be taught a lesson!

Are you crazy? He's a scholar.

Get out of the way.

I'd like to see how good your brother is.

What's wrong with you?

Come on. Let's go.

I said move!

Who are you raising your voice at?

Cheonbok, what are you doing?

Put that down right now.

Look at him.

What?

Our deity is letting him rest because

he came a long way.

I'm the supervisor, Hwang Yeon.

We're starting a new relationship.

Please forgive him for this old man's sake.

Let's go.

Yes.

Move, move.

Darn.

Episode 6

Cheonbok, start a fire.

Move.

Move!

You know you can't leave Sojaedong, right?

You just have to go to the government office

with me for the monthly checks.

You should go inside.

Just look at him.

He looks like he would be really arrogant.

What if he acts like nobility?

It will be so irritating.

It's over for you.

Sir, are you sleeping?

I'm going to leave a flint here.

What are you doing?

I asked you what you're doing.

Can't you see? I started a fire.

That's not what I asked.

What else did I do?

Why did you come into a man's room?

Don't you know men and women

can't be in the same room?

I don't know about that.

But I know you need light at night.

What?

If you know so much,

why can't you even turn on a lamp?

You're so bold.

What is your name?

Why do you ask?

I'll be here for a while.

I should know your name.

Tell me.

I don't have a name.

Are you kidding?

I'm telling you the truth.

Gee...

What are you doing?

Aren't these the scholar's books?

No. I found them outside the village.

So, they're his books.

Who else would read such books?

He should have taken better care of them.

You can't do this.

Give it to me.

Now!

Oh! Oh!

What are you going to do?

It's hot! Oh, dear.

What will we do?

Just burn them all.

We're in trouble.

We're really in trouble.

He's going to be so mad.

I can't burn this.

What will I do?

I found this outside the village.

Is it yours?

I'll do it.

Stand back!

I don't care how ignorant you are.

How can you burn such sacred books?

I'm so sorry.

You good-for-nothing.

Read this when you get anxious.

It's Mencius.

Mencius said when the heavens plan to

use someone for a great cause,

they make his heart and cause suffer and

then make his body suffer.

I'd like to say that to you.

Thank you, Poeun.

Jeong Dojeon arrived in Sojaedong.

The headache is gone.

An envoy will leave soon to greet the Northern Yuan envoys.

Friendly relations will be achieved soon.

We can't relax yet.

We don't know when the gentry will rebel.

What could they possibly do?

Did you tell the man Kim Ui sent

to return to Northern Yuan?

Oh, him?

He left a few days ago.

He wanted expenses, so I gave him plenty.

I gave you everything you asked for.

Return to Northern Yuan.

Let me be clear.

You must not mention what happened

between me and Kim Ui even after

friendly relations are achieved.

Of course, sir.

That thief.

How are you, vice-chancellor?

It's been a long time.

How could you do such a thing?

What are you talking about?

My husband is the son-in-law of

the Gokseong Kang clan.

How can you treat him like this?

How was he treated?

He recovered the capital from the Red Turbans

and he defeated Nagachu.

He saved Goryeo many times.

How can you ask him to escort an envoy?

The safety of the Northern Yuan envoys

is an important matter for Goryeo.

It isn't something anyone can do.

What is it?

It's a farm in Yanggwangdo.

I will give it to you.

All I want is a rank of Jong 3 for him

when he returns.

I won't ask for more.

So, this is a bribe.

That's right.

I will give you more if that's not enough.

A rank of Jong 3 is pretty powerful.

Your husband is a general and magistrate

of Dongbukmyeon with powerful soldiers.

Wanting power in court is expecting too much.

You want him to rot in a border area?

Let me give you some advice.

Be happy with what you have.

Vice-chancellor.

The Lee Seonggye Goryeo wants is

a general who fights enemies,

not a politician.

If you get too greedy, it could ruin you.

"Wang' meaning king.

You were born with the destiny of a king,

but since it is a country of the Wang clan,

what an unfortunate destiny.

Lee Seonggye, Hwaryeong magistrate

I'm so happy.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you alright?

I'm so sorry.

Are you alright?

Of course.

Did you think I couldn't take care of him?

Poeun!

Poeun!

You!

Put that sword away right now!

Stop.

No killing. Put the sword down.

You must have a death wish, too.

I told you to put the sword down.

Lee Seonggye?

I knew you were in Gaegyeong.

I'm sorry I couldn't come to see you.

I'm just a butcher.

I'm not someone you should visit.

You're not a butcher.

I've seen many generals,

but there isn't a sainted general like you.

Try moving your arm.

Please understand why I can't explain

the earlier situation.

It's not because I don't trust you.

I don't want it to cause you any harm.

The court is watching you as it is.

I already forgot about all that.

You should forget what I did, too.

A day will come when Goryeo recognizes your sincerity.

I don't care about that.

My only wish is to avoid getting blood

on my hands and not smelling blood.

I wish that day would come soon.

I'm sure it will.

I'm sure it will, too.

Don't be arrogant because you are

an envoy yourself.

If you are rude to my brother,

I will peel off your skin.

Is that understood?

Yes.

The envoy is ready to leave.

There is something to take care of before that.

Your Highness, what brings you here?

An Sagi.

Yes.

You met someone named Lee Ga and gave him ten nyangs of gold?

What?

Who is Lee Ga? Why are you so surprised?

He is Kim Ui's follower.

What?

Kim Ui? The one who killed

the Ming envoys and fled to Northern Yu?

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I don't know anyone named Lee Ga.

Who accused me of such a thing?

Jeongbi, relay the appeal.

It was written by Park Sangchung.

A corrupt group on the Supreme Council

had Kim Ui kill the Ming envoys and

got the Northern Yuan army involved to

seek friendly relations with Northern Yuan.

You should be able to find out more if you interrogate

Lee Ga and Chanseongsa An Sagi.

How can this be?

How dare you!

What's wrong with you?

I told you I don't know anything about it.

Vice-chancellor, why aren't you saying anything?

Say something.

I will see how the Supreme Council

takes care of this matter.

This is a conspiracy to prevent

friendly relations with Northern Yuan.

I will not let them get away with this.

I'll have Park Sangchung's head.

Quiet!

Sir.

Just be quiet.

Is anyone outside?

Lock An Sagi up in prison.

Vice-chancellor!

Take him away.

Yes, sir!

Sir!

Sir! Vice-chancellor!

Sir!

Come and eat lunch.

Cheonbok, let's eat.

Let's eat!

You don't look well.

Leave the firewood to me. Go and rest.

I'm alright. Don't worry about me.

How did you end up being banished

to such a far place like this?

Do you have to ask?

He probably committed a crime.

He didn't commit a crime.

He was opposed to friendly relations

with Northern Yuan and

someone in a high position didn't like that.

Why did he stand up to someone in

a high position?

We wouldn't have to fight battles if we were close with another country.

It's strange he was against it.

Northern Yuan consists of people of Yuan.

They exploited Goryeo.

If we want Goryeo to be safe,

we have to abide by the former king's will

and seek friendly relations with Ming.

What did he just say?

I'm not sure.

Never mind. It's all useless talk.

Do you think I ended up here

by doing something useless?

You must have really good hearing.

I don't think I said anything wrong.

What?

Whether Goryeo sides with Ming

or Northern Yuan,

what does that have to do with us?

Cheonbok! Stop it right now.

He keeps talking to me.

The existence of our country depends on it.

Whether the country falls or not

has nothing to do with us either.

Do you think you'll be well off

if our country falls?

My life couldn't get any worse.

A grasshopper must have a better life.

I don't care who becomes the king.

You!

Let go!

Many gentry men are fighting with their lives

to prevent friendly relations with Northern Yuan.

What did you just say?

Nobody forced them to!

They're just showing off!

Are you alright?

You good-for-nothing.

Stop following me around.

Go tell your moms to come.

You can talk to him.

Why are you hitting him?

That isn't good.

Sir?

Did you hear about anything in court?

I heard a lot of things.

But it's always about them fighting.

Stop touching it!

What about the envoys from Northern Yuan?

Did they enter Gaegyeong?

I don't think that went very well.

Why not?

They weren't able to send an envoy to greet them.

An Sagi got caught colluding with

Northern Yuan.

He must be losing his mind.

He's screaming like crazy.

Lee Ga finally confessed.

An Sagi told Kim Ui to kill the Ming envoys.

He kept in touch with Kim Ui and

colluded with the Northern Yuan army through him.

How can the minister of a country...

They just have to get An Sagi to

confess that Lee Inim was behind it.

When is the interrogation being held?

Choi Yeong is going to interrogate him tomorrow.

Poeun, Sambong will be returning soon.

General Choi Yeong won't go easy on you.

So?

If you don't confess, you will be tortured to death.

Even if you confess, you will be executed for treason.

That won't happen.

Just worry about your own head.

The minute I get out of here,

you and Park Sangchung are dead.

Do you still think the vice-chancellor is going to save you?

He won't.

He'll be looking for a way to kill you.

You!

Don't stall. Just confess.

I will have them spare your life.

Did you hear the rumors?

An Sagi is just the tail of a lizard.

They're saying someone else is behind him.

I had a vague feeling that you had

something to do with the death of

the Ming envoys.

But I didn't want to believe that you involved the Northern Yuan army.

Tell me the truth.

Uncle!

How heavily is he being guarded?

We haven't found a way to

get into the prison yet.

It will be difficult to use an assassin.

You must be suffering.

Why did it take you so long to come?

I waited for you.

You should get me released.

Why aren't you doing anything?

There's no way.

Sir.

I'm sorry.

Is that all you can say?

Did you come to apologize?

Sir.

Make a decision for Goryeo and

the influential families.

Decision?

You want me to take my life?

Your sacrifice won't be in vain.

You took me too lightly.

Leave.

I'll see you at the interrogation.

Do you want all of us to die?

Of course not. You'll be the only one

who will be dying.

I still have someone to lean on.

Just go and write your will.

Listen carefully.

My men are at your house.

If you're still breathing at sunrise,

your entire family will die.

Do you think I'll fall for such a threat?

Do you think I would tell you to take your life

without taking any measures?

Lee Inim, you!

If you want your family to live,

just die quietly.

Why does An Sagi want to see us

at this late hour?

I convinced him to confess.

He must have changed his mind.

There is someone really behind it?

Who do you think it is? Lee Inim.

Bring the criminal.

Yes, sir.

You only told Choi Yeong and Jeong Mongju, right?

Yes.

Let's go.

The sun will rise soon.

Assassin!

It's an assassin!

General.

What's going on?

It's an assassin.

What?

Sir, wake up.

He couldn't have gotten far.

Arrest him!

Yes, sir!

Who is behind it?

Who is it?

Sir, please tell me.

Stop it. He's dead.

The ornament wasn't even his wife's.

Good job. You can go now.

Goodbye.

An Sagi.

An Sagi's death barely saved Lee Inim.

Lee Inim's plan to achieve friendly relations with Northern Yuan also faced problems.

The court didn't send an envoy and

demanded the Northern Yuan envoys to leave.

Not long after, the Northern Yuan envoys

returned to their country.

Lee Inim's power is weaker.

He will be driven out soon.

Hang in there a little longer.

Get out!

I told you to get out!

I came from far. You shouldn't treat

a guest like this.

Let me just see the foster child.

She has no reason to see you.

Cheonbok.

Come in.

Father!

Get him some cold water.

You've grown into a young woman now.

I stopped by on my way to Hoejinhyeon.

I don't know when I'll come again, so let's settle this.

I thought about it. I'm going to say no.

How many times do I have to tell you

that she was destined to be a shaman?

She saw delusions for a reason.

She'll die if she gets shaman's disease.

She has a future ahead of her.

I can't make her a shaman.

She'll just die here.

It will be nice to become a medium

and live as my daughter.

Please leave now.

Do you have the same opinion?

I'm going to do as my father wants.

I'll be in Hoejinhyeon for about a month.

Think about it.

She wasn't your daughter?

I heard him say foster child.

About 10 years ago,

a woman froze to death outside my house.

She was holding her.

Did you try to find her family?

There was no need.

The woman was the most spiritual shaman

in Hoejinhyeon.

Shaman?

But even monkeys fall off of trees.

She was injured performing a rite.

She wandered around after that and

ended up freezing to death.

There's no such thing as destiny.

It means you weren't meant to be a shaman.

You get sick because you don't eat well.

You get a fever because you're sick and

you see delusions because of the fever.

Don't listen to that shaman.

What are you doing?

He's telling you to be a shaman because you do this.

I'm doing this because I don't want to be a shaman.

I'm praying I don't have to be a shaman.

Can't I even do that?

These are just stones. Don't be foolish.

What am I to do if I want to pray?

I don't have anything to offer at the temple.

I can't perform ancestral rites because

I can't read.

Can't I even pray?

This might seem useless to you,

but it means everything to me.

Who do you think? Lee Inim.

Why are you still investigating An Sagi's death?

Because we haven't caught the culprit yet.

It's definitely an assassin sent by Northern Yuan. End it at that.

That sounds like a good idea.

I can't do that.

Is there someone you suspect?

What do you mean by that?

It's a mystery, but you're focusing so much effort on it.

If you don't want to be misunderstood,

you should end it now.

Someone has to provide justification

for Choi Yeong.

We should do that.

It's time to fight Lee Inim.

I'm glad to hear that.

I'll take the lead.

You shouldn't put yourself at risk again.

I will do it.

Yangchon is still young. I'll do it.

Don't.

I'm an officer of State Affairs Chancellery. I think I'm the right person.

Leave it to me.

Here.

What is it?

It's an appeal for impeachment written by Lee Cheom.

Did you say impeachment?

Lee Inim supported friendly relations with

Northern Yuan and played the court.

Dismiss him and investigate his relationship

with An Sagi.

They want Lee Inim dead.

What should I do?

I will arrest Lee Inim.
