-= Episode 27 =- . Why would Your Majesty look for someone like me?

Why would Your Majesty look for someone like me?

That's disrespectful.

Father.

I will say it straight.

How about becoming one of my people?

If I heard right,

you were asking me to betray the Defense Minister.

Why would you twist Her Majesty's words like that?

It is just that...

if such an exceptional one like you would be serving Her Majesty,

it would be more powerful than keeping even a seasoned big army.

If I do that,

what do I gain?

Whatever you want,

I will give it all.

Wealth, power, fame.

Whatever it is, go ahead and tell me.

I will have to think about it.

I'm not a virtuous person with infinite patience.

I am also not so shallow a person.

Then,

can you show it to me first?

I am talking about what you've got.

I am an assassin.

What would an assassin have, to show?

No matter whose head it is,

can you bring it in my front immediately now?

Whose head do you want?

What if it is His Sovereign Majesty's head?

Your joke is a bit much, Your Majesty.

Then...

Bring me the head of Sword Saint's disciple, Baek Dong Su.

Hey, you!

You fellow!

Just now, all this place is getting filled with a nasty smell.

Now I know it is because of you fellow!

Aren't you that useless butcher fellow?

Please let me live.

I have nothing to do with this.

It's just... I only happened to pass by.

I've already looked back at what I did before.

I am living an ordinary life.

Please believe me.

How dare you say that?

Isn't this fellow lying for some reason?

Please spare my life.

Though you all don't know it,

I'm already trying to forget it all and live.

Please believe me.

You bastard!

When I kill someone, I don't use this chopper.

But that doesn't hold in your case.

Captain.

Isn't he already miserable?

Just let him go.

You!

A fellow like this should have been eliminated way back!

Sa Mo.

Still, isn't he begging like this?

I won't.

I can't do that.

What this bastard did to my father and me...

have you already forgotten that?

Jin Ju.

Before I change my mind, leave quickly.

Dong Su, you...

Have you already forgotten all his evil doings?

Even if I kill him now,

will anything be changed?

Come on, let's just leave.

Would there be a reason why you want his head?

Does an assassin need a reason to wield his sword?

Amongst so many people,

you only picked those whom I can't kill.

-=Queen Jeong Sun=- . Can't do this, can't do that...

Can't do this, can't do that...

Is making excuses the only thing you can do?

I am sorry.

Well then...

-=Gim Han Gu: Queen Jeong Sun's father=- . . .

-=Gim Han Gu: Queen Jeong Sun's father=- . . Father.

-=Gim Han Gu: Queen Jeong Sun's father=- . I must definitely get him to be one of my people.

I must definitely get him to be one of my people.

-=Iyijeyi: Using one strength to control another=- . . You are talking about the iyijeyi strategy.

-=Iyijeyi: Using one strength to control another=- . . .

-=Iyijeyi: Using one strength to control another=- . It won't be bad to join hands with him temporarily.

It won't be bad to join hands with him temporarily.

How could you whole bunch not withstand just one fellow like that?

You bastard!

Today will become your memorial day.

Isn't this His Excellency Hong?

There seems to be some misunderstanding between us.

From what I heard, you would be stabbing me in the back.

How would I dare stab you in the back, Your Excellency?

I just wanted to kill that Baek Dong Su fellow.

If so,

did you kill him?

That...

If you couldn't kill him, naturally you would be dying...

Wasn't it because you knew as much, that you called away my henchmen?

Isn't that how it was?

How can you be like this?

Please don't be like this.

Please spare me.

At least for our past friendship...

Your Excellency Hong.

Your Excellency Hong!

You can't do this to me, Your Excellency Hong!

So, when will our support gang come?

. . Before the uprising at Sinsi, they will arrive in Hanyang.

-=Sinsi: 3pm tp 5pm=- . Before the uprising at Sinsi, they will arrive in Hanyang.

. . Before the uprising at Sinsi, they will arrive in Hanyang.

. . Before Osi on that day,

-=Osi: 11am to 1pm=- . Before Osi on that day,

-=Osi: 11am to 1pm=- . have one of Hong Dae Ju's arms cut.

. . have one of Hong Dae Ju's arms cut.

How could I dare to get rid of

. . this Woldo with the blood and sweat of His Highness the Crown Prince?

-=Yi San (the future King Jeongju)=- . this Woldo with the blood and sweat of His Highness the Crown Prince?

-=Yi San (the future King Jeongju)=- . . So you plan to defy His Majesty's order?

So you plan to defy His Majesty's order?

If His Majesty wants to punish me, he will.

-=Seo Yu Dae : Royal Guard General=- . If His Majesty wants to punish me, he will.

-=Seo Yu Dae : Royal Guard General=- . If it is to accept dismissal, I'll have to do so.

If it is to accept dismissal, I'll have to do so.

Your Highness.

The atmosphere outside the palace is not very reassuring.

If there is a need for decisive action,

whenever it is,

please take this Woldo in your hands.

Ah, I can hardly understand it!

Why would he keep letting that bastard go?

This is going well.

What?

Dong Su... is becoming just like your father.

I cooked some meat. Let me bring you some.

You fellow...

However powerful you are, can you take on both of us?

Whether I am a horse or a mule, I will know only when I try.

This is a real sword. Will that be fine?

Yes.

No matter what you say, you are only carrying a dangpachang.

-=Dangpachang: three pronged spear=- . . Whatever you say, it's just a dangpachang.

-=Dangpachang: three pronged spear=- . Fine. If that is what you want, there is nothing we can do.

Fine. If that is what you want, there is nothing we can do.

If you get hurt, it's your responsibility.

You better know that.

Please don't worry.

Good, then.

Hyeongnim.

Dong Su's martial arts seem to have exceeded Sword Saints'.

We wouldn't know that, with hyeongnim not even alive.

But...

When did you learn to use dangpachang?

I learned it from Master.

Really...

Hyeongnim left behind quite a bit for us.

Captain!

Why are you this late?

Come on, let's go in.

Yes.

Joseon's best swordsman is Baek Dong Su?

Fine. So how did it turn out?

For the whole day, as we were walking around, we tried to find out something.

Mmm?

We got nothing.

What?

Hey, hey, how can this be?

We saw them push a cart into the blacksmith shop.

But when it came out, we saw that it was empty.

There wasn't any trace at all.

This can't be.

Isn't clandestine work my specialty?

Just leave it to me.

My daughter.

Yes?

That's all fine, but don't you dare go to the gambling house again.

Yes, yes.

Even now I want to go, but I can't.

Captain, we must do some prying at the Defense Minister's home.

Even if things are fine, shouldn't we get a good hang of it?

Yes, yes, we can't just be inactive and get caught in it.

Be deliberately careful.

Yes, then I will go.

My daughter, just stay put here!

Just like that?

- Orabeoni, can I take a moment? - All right.

Can you come out now?

There are a lot of dishes to wash.

I've been out all day.

My legs hurt and I'm tired too.

Can't I rest for today?

You girl, trying to negotiate?

Come out quickly.

Can't I rest for one day?

You went out for a stroll and lost your senses?

Ah, really.

Now adding together the Japanese warriors

who are participating in the uprising,

there is at least a hundred people.

How are the gunmen?

I have brought those that are decent gunmen.

Father...

Everything is ready.

Now we are just waiting for your order.

Were you able to contact Heuksa Chorong?

Yes.

Someone has already been sent.

Let's have another drink.

This tastes pretty good.

Aigoo!

You fellow how...

Go on.

Why did you do this?

After letting me escape like this,

you want to come kill me right?

If I really wanted to kill you, I would have killed you before.

I don't want that, so quickly leave.

Another glass.

Please drink.

That rat like fellow.

I heard you saw Her Majesty.

So, did Her Majesty have any orders?

Cut off one of Hong Dae Ju's arms.

She wants me to cut off Baek Dong Su's head.

Baek Dong Su. Her Majesty wants Baek Dong Su's head?

That's right.

So, how did you answer her?

I told her, I will kill him.

Will you be able to personally kill that one and only close friend?

Close friend?

That was a really long time ago.

Who is it?

You are...

Why? From what I see, it wasn't easy for you to get here.

Want to have some tea before you go?

Looks like that friend is inside.

Has your shoulder wound healed?

Move aside.

That can't be.

Baek Dong Su!

Baek Dong Su you visiting my home, what can I do for you?

Looks like, compared to the gambling house,

there is a better show to watch.

Although I accidently disturbed you,

it is better to open a path and let me leave, Your Excellency.

Since you broke into the tiger's den yourself,

you must bear the consequences.

Who are you fellow?!

Baek Dong Su.

How come you have not even settled down for a day?

So, is that why you made an agreement with him to kill me?

What are you all doing standing there?

Attack!

Where are you going so urgently?

You gang of...

You should only leave after giving thanks.

Still not withdrawing these swords. Quickly...

His Excellency Hong ordered us to kill you.

Hong Dae Ju you bastard.

This is what you gave me.

Isn't that the poison from a viper's fangs?

You should know better, right?

It looks like you also know the taste.

Of course.

Very poisonous.

Don't be like this.

Don't be like this.

Who is it?

Hey, go quickly.

Dong Su... is becoming just like your father.

What happened?

Wait a moment.

I will deal with him.

Forget it! Forget it.

Just to catch an insect,

If you lend a hand, where will I put my face.

Take a look.

Even if your martial arts were any better,

can you escape the firearms?

Stop.

What are you doing, Baek Dong Su?

Do you want to die?

Over there!

What are you all doing still standing there?

Going after him!

Stand still!

We caught him but he still escaped, what are you going to chase?

Before the uprising, you all just mind your own selves.

Get ready.

Baek Dong Su climbed the wall and entered.

Looks like he already heard something.

It seems till now, he hasn't found out anything.

But it is still better to be alert.

Are you all right?

Yes.

You don't need to act on your own.

I almost had my liver fallen out because you scared me.

What? Aren't you doing fine?

Hey, this...

If you couldn't kill him, naturally you would be dying...

If I really wanted to kill you, I would have killed you before.

I don't want that,

so quickly leave.

Baek Dong Su, you bastard.

I wanted to kill you,

how come you are using that kind of expression to look at me?

Do I look pitiful?

Exactly who is saving who?

Why is it shaking my heart up like this?

Are you all right?

Yes.

How come there is not a day when your body is fully healed?

I am all right, you don't need to worry.

You went to the Defense Minister's house?

Yes. I can feel that the uprising is about to start.

But the specific plan as well as the time is still not clear.

This is really annoying.

We clearly know, but don't have the power to stop it.

But, we will need to report the situation to His Highness.

Dong Su.

How about you enter the palace with me?

You said the Defense Minister's arm?

She can't really be saying she wants to see bloodshed.

She means she wants me to get rid of the Defense Minister's right and left hand.

Yes.

You must be prepared.

Say it.

These must be prepared before Osi.

-=Osi: 11am to 1pm=- . These must be prepared before Osi.

-=Osi: 11am to 1pm=- . Yes.

Any progress?

Sky Lord your thinking is correct.

The Japanese that have left the settlement are heading towards Hanyang.

Always keep an eye on them.

Tell me once they reach Hanyang.

Yes.

Looks like the time has come.

So, is that why you made an agreement with him to kill me?

All right so, if you want me to give up,

then that is only possible after you kill me.

Baek Dong Su.

Her Majesty wants Baek Dong Su's head?

I told her, I will kill him.

Quickly capture him back.

Yes.

Come follow me.

- Yes. - Yes.

What are you doing?

Someone reported that the Vice Minister has been collecting bribes from early military examinees

and gave illegitimate qualifications.

What?

You bastards, do you know who I am?

This is the letter that reports you accepting bribes as a cost for illegitimate qualifications.

Take the criminal to the State Tribunal.

- Yes. - Yes.

You bastards, don't you know who I am?

You bastards, you actually dare to be disrespectful towards me.

Your Highness has just entered the palace hall.

Wait a little longer.

Let me go, you fellows! Go tell the Defense Minister!

I am innocent!

Isn't that the Defense Minister's trusted follower, the Vice Minister?

Prince Heir, although His Majesty hopes for your Daericheongjeong,

-=Daericheongjeong : The Crown Prince holding court when the king is ill or too old to attend it=- . Prince Heir, although His Majesty hopes for your Daericheongjeong,

-=Daericheongjeong : The Crown Prince holding court when the king is ill or too old to attend it=- . . I'm worried that Daericheongjeong will hurt you.

I'm worried that Daericheongjeong will hurt you.

Your Majesty, it is a phase which I must experience.

I will do my best in dealing with the country's matters.

Yes, that should be so.

It is your responsibility to do so.

Are you inside, Your Majesty?

Prince Heir, please return.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Has something happened?

They say the Vice Minister is locked up in prison.

Really?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Also...

What is this?

The Vice Minister is being locked up in the State Tribunal prison.

If you let this bird fly, his life can be saved.

If Your Majesty keeps the bird, the Vice Minister's head will be cut off at Osi.

His Excellency Hong Dae Ju is currently plotting treason.

This is an unarguable fact.

Do you have a basis?

Yes.

But we still don't know the exact time and plot.

So it is difficult to implement a countermeasure.

Your Highness.

This Woldo...

Is the Woldo father once used.

You brat, what is your name?

I'm Baek Dong Su.

Baek Dong Su.

You're Baek Dong Su?

Do you know me?

I'm very grateful that all of you have grown up to be so strong and healthy.

All of you will become the future of Joseon.

Help! Your Excellency.

This matter has nothing to do with me.

The uprising is right in front of us, you really are too stupid.

So, tell me.

Are you really innocent?

That... I'm not completely unrelated.

This fellow...

Father, although the reported information is true,

there is no way to know who reported it.

Exactly which fellow...

Your Majesty, why did you do that?

What are you saying?

Defense Minister.

Can it be that you thought the Vice Minister's imprisonment is related to Her Majesty?

I do not dare.

It wasn't me.

So I really have committed a big mistake.

Your Majesty.

The uprising is right in front of us, we can't drag our hind legs for a matter like this.

Interrogate the Vice Minister for his crimes later, please let him go first.

In this uprising, he... is someone that is absolutely needed.

I understand.

I will take my leave.

Your Majesty.

Sky Lord, that fellow.

Isn't he too cautious for an assassin?

Only those of this degree can become my followers, right?

Your Majesty.

As Your Majesty continues to recover, the palace also seems to have some energy.

-=Yeong Ju=-

I want to immediately give the Prince Heir the order for Daericheongjeong.

Recently the rumors about him, and also the officials' appeals,

are because the Prince Heir doesn't have the foundation in running a country.

In the legitimacy aspect, there is already no problem.

The country will be reformed through Daericheongjeong.

Tomorrow before the meeting time, I will first tell you in advance.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

I will never ever forget Your Excellency's great kindness.

It is almost evening, we must certainly prepare properly.

Yes, Your Excellency.

Father...

There is news about His Majesty's recovery.

Really?

Looks like Her Majesty will be looking for me again.

Your Excellency, Her Majesty is asking to see you.

Your Majesty, to play with my crime, you have to pay a price.

Can it not be carried out one day in advance?

Yes, Your Majesty.

By not making preparations at the critical stages...

the chance of the uprising to fail is really great.

But Your Majesty.

If you want to stop the Daericheongjeong, we are not completely out of options.

Then, what is it?

Defense Minister, what are you saying?

Your Excellency, this is the only way.

This person...

Father...

The Defense Minister is not wrong.

How can you take the risk?

What if it hurts your body?

One day. Only one day will do.

Then monitoring the Japanese's movements will be enough.

But the Defense Minister will not use them that easily.

Recently, the number of Japanese at the market has clearly increased.

Dong Su, have you thought of a way?

Your Majesty...

What happened?

This... is completely identical to the situation last time.

She was poisoned because of the balloon flower.

She is poisoned because of the balloon flower.

It is the Japanese.

Let's separate here.

All right, see you tonight.

Sir, I also...

Let's go together.

Ajussi...

Child, I'm sorry.

There is nothing to eat today.

Are you giving this to me?

Where do you live?

The village?

Child, farewell.

Today I will follow Hong Dae Ju that fellow, together we'll die.

Thank you...

Have the Japanese arrived?

There is no way to turn back, no way to retreat.

Sky Lord, His Excellency Hong Dae Ju is looking for you.

It looks like this is the place.

There is bit of gunpowder smell.

But there are no traces.

Search in a place where there isn't any, of course there will be none.

What is the matter now?

Move aside.

It is here.

Here it is.

Don't worry, I will not try to harm you all again.

Baek Dong Su.

Meteor.

The meteor is beginning.

What does it mean?

Aside from that, I also do not know.

From here on, everything's up to you.

Can we trust that fellow's words?

His expression certainly has changed.

Meteor?

Your Excellency Hong Dae Ju, don't do any more dirty things.

Follow me to hell.

Give me some food.

Before the uprising, there are certainly people we have to get rid of.

Royal Guard Captain Seo Yu Dae.

And also,

Baek Dong Su.

Have you visited the Police Bureau?

Yes. We found enough evidence to prove that they're a group of thieves.

That village is that group of fellows' hometown.

If we slander that they are a group of thieves, Baek Dong Su will not just sit by.

It is a vicious method to disturb people's hearts.

Tell them if they resist, they will be killed.

Yes, Your Excellency.

Please go with them, and bring good results.

You, go call the Sky Lord.

The village.

Father, it is already properly prepared.

Today at Haesi,

-=Haesi: 9pm to 11pm=- . Today at Haesi,

-=Haesi: 9pm to 11pm=- . .

-=Haesi: 9pm to 11pm=- . the uprising will start from the sky.

the uprising will start from the sky.

This is the revolution that will change Joseon's history.

Sky Lord, by no means should you forget my orders.

If they make use of the army barrack generals and the Japanese they brought,

it won't only to be to threaten the His Highness Prince Heir.

That bastard Defense Minister, will finally give himself away.

This is a rebellion against His Majesty and is also a bloodthirsty conspiracy.

The matter will not be optimistic. But...

Jin Gi and his daughter went to Mt. Bugak?

Yes, the treason plot this time is because of a meteor.

Meteor...

Is anyone here?

You are here, please sit.

Yes.

How is it?

The army officers that have stated to wipe out thieves that live in commoner's home as reason,

have all left.

What, thieves who live as commoners?

What kind of reason is that?

Cho Rip, right now go explain this situation clearly.

Discuss a countermeasure with the Royal Guard General.

Yes.

Dong Su, you come with me.

Yes.

They are vicious bandits.

Don't let a single one get away. Capture them.

What, what? This is...

It really is too bad, that you all must die.

What is sprinkled on your body is gunpowder.

It won't be long.

You all will go to hell with me.

Gu... gun... it's gunpowder.

You all hurry and run!

Look, it is all empty.

Want to see the Lord of the Underworld earlier? Then try and move.

Quickly!

This fellow, is he crazy?

I was just... just this bit...

Something big nearly happened.

To me, a wound like this, is nothing.

Torch... torch...

Let's go on the road together.

Move aside!

The sparks are really beautiful.

It's beautiful!

Un!

Don't complain to me.

Ajussi... Ajussi...

You are very noisy, don't cry.

Did you eat the wild chicken I gave you?

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Ajussi...

You're here.

This fellow saved everyone.

Because you made a person like me turn over to a new life.

You fellow really are the true Hwalingeom.

-=Hwalingeom: The principle of a sword that saves lives rather than take lives=- . . You fellow really are the true Hwalingeom.

-=Hwalingeom: The principle of a sword that saves lives rather than take lives=- . You are a hundred times, thousand times stronger than the Sword Saint.

You are a hundred times, thousand times stronger than the Sword Saint.

Thank you.

Thank you for letting someone like me do a good thing.

Tonight there is a filthy conspiracy.

Go on.

Go stop them.

This is enough, this filthy life.

You really, come and go like a shadow.

You did this, right?

I really admire people like you who know revenge and gratitude are distinct.

But...

This realm, is based on a powerful foundation.

Even with a powerful foundation but without confidence,

you'll never be able to reach that realm.

You were wrong.

It is not by being strong that you can make this kind of realm.

Furthermore, this kind of realm will make people become stronger.

I'm very curious.

The situation has already reached this point, can you not solve it?

Cut the strings!

Tonight, Joseon will have its revolution!

Father...

Un, how can you...

Meteors...

Dong Su!
