Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:01:10,510 --> 00:01:13,979
Submission to beastly Ming is unthinkable.
2
00:01:13,980 --> 00:01:16,381
We should not be afraid to go to war.
3
00:01:17,751 --> 00:01:22,588
The country will fall into greater
confusion if we help the Crown Prince.
4
00:01:22,923 --> 00:01:24,190
Authority of the Royal house will
5
00:01:24,191 --> 00:01:26,458
be lost with the Crown Prince
in disciplinary confinement.
6
00:01:26,860 --> 00:01:31,163
I will protect him even
if it costs my own life.
7
00:01:32,432 --> 00:01:36,702
Instead of releasing the Crown Prince,
send him to Ming as a hostage.
8
00:01:49,207 --> 00:01:54,019
Return, good government!
9
00:01:54,020 --> 00:01:58,624
Return, good government!
10
00:01:59,392 --> 00:02:03,429
Return, good government!
11
00:02:04,397 --> 00:02:08,434
Return, good government!
12
00:02:09,336 --> 00:02:13,105
Return, good government!
13
00:02:14,306 --> 00:02:18,077
Return, good government!
14
00:02:18,545 --> 00:02:20,913
What is the meaning of this?
15
00:02:27,487 --> 00:02:29,688
Get down from there at once!
16
00:02:29,689 --> 00:02:32,091
Government must first be revived.
17
00:02:33,326 --> 00:02:34,627
What?
18
00:02:34,628 --> 00:02:38,530
The Prince who sought to protect the
nation's pride has been incarcerated and
19
00:02:38,531 --> 00:02:41,600
the scholars have been
suppressed by force.
20
00:02:41,601 --> 00:02:44,536
How can you say that
this is good government?
21
00:02:45,972 --> 00:02:48,307
How dare you!
22
00:02:48,708 --> 00:02:52,111
This country's government is dead!
23
00:02:52,979 --> 00:02:54,747
Get him down at once!
24
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,948
Yes, sir.
25
00:02:56,316 --> 00:02:58,350
- Get him down!
- Yes. sir.
26
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,995
The Joseonese government is dead?
27
00:03:22,409 --> 00:03:26,879
Even the government officials are
openly supporting the Crown Prince?
28
00:03:27,314 --> 00:03:33,452
The King must be feeling quite threatened.
29
00:03:34,421 --> 00:03:37,823
Sir, we are the ones
in greatest danger here.
30
00:03:40,193 --> 00:03:43,495
Hall of Great Peace
31
00:04:11,992 --> 00:04:13,325
What is it this time?
32
00:04:13,927 --> 00:04:17,663
The Confucian scholars have once again
rallied at the Hall of Great Peace.
33
00:04:17,664 --> 00:04:20,232
Another demonstration?
34
00:04:20,767 --> 00:04:24,036
More than five hundred
civilians have joined them.
35
00:04:40,787 --> 00:04:43,022
The Bureau of Weaponry is also...
36
00:04:46,626 --> 00:04:50,129
Bureau of Weaponry
37
00:04:53,867 --> 00:04:57,302
Put the cannons back at once!
38
00:04:58,071 --> 00:05:00,105
No, sir.
39
00:05:00,106 --> 00:05:01,173
How dare you!
40
00:05:01,174 --> 00:05:05,077
We're going to blow the
Hall of Great Peace away.
41
00:05:05,078 --> 00:05:07,579
They want to take the
Crown Prince as a hostage?
42
00:05:07,580 --> 00:05:09,481
We'll see about that.
43
00:05:10,350 --> 00:05:12,885
Don't do this to us.
44
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,021
We don't like the envoys
anymore than you do.
45
00:05:16,423 --> 00:05:18,757
Then what's stopping you from joining us?
46
00:05:18,758 --> 00:05:22,761
If we take any hostile action
without the King's authorization,
47
00:05:22,762 --> 00:05:25,230
we're all criminals of treason!
48
00:05:25,932 --> 00:05:30,069
You'll be dead before you get
to the Hall of Great Peace!
49
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:32,137
Minister Yi!
50
00:05:32,138 --> 00:05:34,039
Be patient.
51
00:05:34,441 --> 00:05:38,277
I'll let you fire as many cannons
as you wish on Ming mainland!
52
00:05:42,949 --> 00:05:47,086
They're ready to take hostile action?
53
00:05:47,087 --> 00:05:50,689
We must return to Ming, sir.
54
00:05:51,724 --> 00:05:59,364
It looks like we'll have to conquer
Joseon first before we conquer Japan.
55
00:06:02,368 --> 00:06:05,570
Inform the court at once! We're leaving,
56
00:06:05,571 --> 00:06:09,074
so have them remove those protesters
immediately!
57
00:06:24,691 --> 00:06:27,526
- Stop!
- You can't do this!
58
00:06:27,527 --> 00:06:29,194
Get them out!
59
00:06:43,743 --> 00:06:46,344
The Crown Prince is locked
up at the Royal Shrine,
60
00:06:46,345 --> 00:06:51,683
and the officials are locked up in jail...
Don't you just love this government?
61
00:06:53,086 --> 00:06:54,853
Please just do your work.
62
00:06:55,255 --> 00:06:57,556
But something must be done.
63
00:06:57,557 --> 00:07:00,558
The government will be paralyzed
64
00:07:00,559 --> 00:07:03,195
without the administration officials...
65
00:07:03,663 --> 00:07:07,699
His Majesty hadn't had
them arrested, I would have.
66
00:07:08,067 --> 00:07:12,404
They're so busy fighting us
that they can't see who the real enemy is.
67
00:07:14,474 --> 00:07:18,777
Writing a realistic proposal
to persuade the Ming envoy?
68
00:07:18,778 --> 00:07:22,147
That's what we have to focus on.
69
00:07:26,452 --> 00:07:29,087
Minister Hwan, we have big problem.
70
00:07:29,556 --> 00:07:30,422
What is it?
71
00:07:30,423 --> 00:07:33,425
It's a message from the Hall of Great
Peace. The envoys are leaving.
72
00:07:33,893 --> 00:07:34,893
What?
73
00:07:38,031 --> 00:07:39,965
What happened to the spies?
74
00:07:39,966 --> 00:07:44,836
If information leaks out again,
the situation will get even worse.
75
00:07:44,837 --> 00:07:46,471
It's being taken care of.
76
00:07:49,008 --> 00:07:51,710
- Thanks.
- Your welcome.
77
00:07:54,714 --> 00:07:57,950
- Out of the way!
- You're coming with us!
78
00:08:02,255 --> 00:08:03,088
What's going on?
79
00:08:03,089 --> 00:08:04,523
Stop!
80
00:08:05,925 --> 00:08:07,459
What is the meaning of this?
81
00:08:07,460 --> 00:08:08,860
Stay out of it Grannie.
82
00:08:09,229 --> 00:08:11,230
I asked you a question!
83
00:08:11,231 --> 00:08:12,931
Just stay out of it.
84
00:08:14,801 --> 00:08:20,072
You're arresting my precious
children and you won't tell me why?
85
00:08:20,907 --> 00:08:24,776
I am the one who made you a eunuch
guard. How dare you disrespect me!
86
00:08:27,113 --> 00:08:28,447
What's the reason?
87
00:08:29,315 --> 00:08:30,449
Spies.
88
00:08:31,851 --> 00:08:33,151
Spies?
89
00:08:33,553 --> 00:08:37,155
There are spies among
these guys working for Ming.
90
00:08:37,156 --> 00:08:38,156
Let's go!
91
00:08:43,196 --> 00:08:45,931
Grannie, why are you
backing down like this?
92
00:08:46,966 --> 00:08:49,501
You heard about
information leaking to Ming.
93
00:08:50,670 --> 00:08:57,843
Who would they suspect first but the
eunuchs that have been to Ming?
94
00:09:07,387 --> 00:09:10,022
Has he been arrested?
95
00:09:12,358 --> 00:09:14,159
It appears so.
96
00:09:15,528 --> 00:09:16,928
Are you all right?
97
00:09:18,698 --> 00:09:23,434
He's a smart boy, so he'll
take care of himself.
98
00:09:27,140 --> 00:09:30,742
I trust public outrage is continuing?
99
00:09:31,377 --> 00:09:33,945
There is a constant stream of
protesters outside the Royal Shrine
100
00:09:33,946 --> 00:09:36,048
and the Hall of Great Peace.
101
00:09:37,983 --> 00:09:40,085
Send Muby to the Hall of Great Peace.
102
00:09:41,154 --> 00:09:47,759
When the heat erupts tell him
to crash the Hall of Great Peace.
103
00:09:49,595 --> 00:09:55,534
Envoy Huang Yan will have to die
for us in the hands of the Joseonese
104
00:09:55,535 --> 00:10:00,672
to surely ignite the
Ming Emperor's rage...
105
00:10:34,307 --> 00:10:36,208
There is no time, Your Majesty.
106
00:10:36,209 --> 00:10:40,011
If we fail to stop the envoy from
leaving, there will surely be a war.
107
00:10:40,012 --> 00:10:41,279
Leave me alone.
108
00:10:41,681 --> 00:10:42,814
Your Majesty...
109
00:10:43,116 --> 00:10:45,083
Leave, I said.
110
00:11:28,828 --> 00:11:33,865
It's a shame things
aren't going your way...
111
00:11:34,634 --> 00:11:38,970
What brings you here to
Gyeongbok Palace, Your Eminence?
112
00:11:41,140 --> 00:11:43,909
Release the Crown Prince.
113
00:11:43,910 --> 00:11:46,778
Then the public will give you their support.
114
00:11:47,447 --> 00:11:51,716
Without the state the people do not
exist and public support is unimportant.
115
00:11:51,717 --> 00:11:55,353
King must fear his people
more than a superior state.
116
00:11:55,354 --> 00:12:00,992
Is are as sweet as dreams
but reality is bitter, Your Eminence.
117
00:12:00,993 --> 00:12:02,561
You have one day.
118
00:12:03,129 --> 00:12:06,264
Release the Crown Prince
before the end of the day
119
00:12:06,265 --> 00:12:09,768
or you will find this old man kneeled
outside the Royal Shrine asking for our
120
00:12:09,769 --> 00:12:11,803
ancestor King's forgiveness
for your actions.
121
00:12:12,572 --> 00:12:13,638
Your Eminence...
122
00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:15,774
Make the wise decision.
123
00:12:15,775 --> 00:12:17,275
I don't want the public to think that you
124
00:12:17,276 --> 00:12:22,581
are a disrespectful ruler who ignores
the beseeching of the former King.
125
00:12:49,809 --> 00:12:56,447
Thank you for going through
such trouble for the Crown Prince.
126
00:12:57,183 --> 00:13:00,252
This is not for the Crown Prince alone.
127
00:13:00,253 --> 00:13:03,955
It's in the best interest of the
Royal house and the state.
128
00:13:17,203 --> 00:13:20,672
What could've prompted the
ex-King to make this move?
129
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:28,079
I don't know. He has always held a
negative view of the Crown Prince.
130
00:13:38,190 --> 00:13:40,492
Don't you think you're taking a risk?
131
00:13:42,128 --> 00:13:44,129
You must look out for yourself.
132
00:13:44,130 --> 00:13:46,865
You know His Majesty better than anyone...
133
00:13:47,199 --> 00:13:54,072
Are you afraid he might hurt me like he
hurt Bangseok and Hoean?
134
00:13:54,073 --> 00:13:56,682
Bangseok Eighth son of Taejo
Hoean: Fourth son of Taejo
135
00:13:56,802 --> 00:13:59,910
I've lived a full life.
136
00:14:00,613 --> 00:14:03,213
Birds sing the most beautiful song
137
00:14:03,214 --> 00:14:07,018
and men utter the most
useful words before they die.
138
00:14:08,621 --> 00:14:09,854
Your Eminence...
139
00:14:11,490 --> 00:14:14,458
Keep your eyes open and
prepare for your future.
140
00:14:14,660 --> 00:14:16,695
That's your job right now.
141
00:14:43,589 --> 00:14:48,560
I thought the Royal family was
ordered to stay away from her.
142
00:14:49,328 --> 00:14:50,895
Royal family?
143
00:14:51,530 --> 00:14:53,365
I'm honored, Your Highness.
144
00:14:53,833 --> 00:14:57,035
I didn't think you regarded me
as a member of the Royal family.
145
00:15:00,806 --> 00:15:02,841
What do you want?
146
00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:08,113
I received permission to conduct
memorial rites to the Royal ancestors.
147
00:15:12,184 --> 00:15:13,485
Memorial rites?
148
00:15:15,655 --> 00:15:19,724
I may be born of a concubine, but
as a prince who shares the King's blood,
149
00:15:19,725 --> 00:15:24,262
I feel cannot be idle
when our country is in peril.
150
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:28,933
Get out of here.
151
00:15:30,536 --> 00:15:32,704
I cannot defy the King's order.
152
00:15:41,847 --> 00:15:43,048
Your Highness!
153
00:15:44,016 --> 00:15:47,385
You must not conduct yourself in
this manner at the Royal Shrine.
154
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,487
If His Majesty finds out...
155
00:15:49,889 --> 00:15:53,858
It's better than allowing a bastard
prince to anger the Royal ancestors.
156
00:16:26,931 --> 00:16:31,563
I will have the Palace Guards hold back
the former King, and Minister of Rites
157
00:16:31,564 --> 00:16:37,602
and I will go to the Hall of Great Peace
and appease the protesters somehow.
158
00:16:37,603 --> 00:16:42,440
No, never mind.
159
00:16:43,342 --> 00:16:46,010
If we fail to calm the people,
160
00:16:46,011 --> 00:16:49,114
we will not be able to stop the
envoy from going back to Ming.
161
00:16:49,115 --> 00:16:50,815
I will do it.
162
00:16:51,784 --> 00:16:53,118
Your Majesty...
163
00:16:55,354 --> 00:16:58,556
I will go to the Hall of Great Peace myself
164
00:16:58,557 --> 00:17:01,960
and appease the Confucian
scholars and the protesters.
165
00:17:02,895 --> 00:17:04,729
I beg your pardon?
166
00:17:04,730 --> 00:17:07,999
You want me to infiltrate the Hall of
Great Peace and collect information?
167
00:17:09,401 --> 00:17:12,570
You said we need to be on the
same side to resolve this crisis.
168
00:17:12,571 --> 00:17:15,707
And we need information
in order to do that.
169
00:17:16,442 --> 00:17:20,445
I don't disagree with you, but...
170
00:17:22,815 --> 00:17:25,183
You look scared to death.
171
00:17:25,184 --> 00:17:27,245
You're a big man.
You should do your part.
172
00:17:27,365 --> 00:17:30,603
That's the problem.
I'm too big.
173
00:17:30,723 --> 00:17:34,025
How am I going get in
through the tight security?
174
00:17:34,026 --> 00:17:35,560
Jump the wall?
175
00:17:36,996 --> 00:17:39,397
I don't think so.
176
00:17:39,398 --> 00:17:46,938
And there isn't a dog hole big
enough for me to fit through.
177
00:17:48,874 --> 00:17:51,508
I've taken care of all that.
178
00:17:58,525 --> 00:18:03,188
Get that envoy out here!
179
00:18:03,308 --> 00:18:06,290
I want to see what
this bloodsucker looks like!
180
00:18:06,410 --> 00:18:07,940
Get him out here!
181
00:18:08,060 --> 00:18:09,494
Get him out here!
182
00:18:11,630 --> 00:18:14,566
If he won't come out and face us,
let's go in and get him out!
183
00:18:14,567 --> 00:18:17,402
Yeah!
184
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:27,011
His Majesty the King!
185
00:19:37,149 --> 00:19:41,119
Are you the student body president
of the Royal Confucian Academy?
186
00:19:42,187 --> 00:19:43,720
Yes, Your Majesty.
187
00:19:45,024 --> 00:19:49,227
You're enduring great frustrations and
grief because of this incompetent King.
188
00:19:49,762 --> 00:19:51,562
Your Majesty...
189
00:19:53,332 --> 00:19:55,900
Is there any chance I can persuade
you to disband the protest?
190
00:19:57,036 --> 00:20:01,973
Not us but the Ming envoys
hold the key, Your Majesty.
191
00:20:23,862 --> 00:20:26,297
Mental grief is more than enough.
192
00:20:27,365 --> 00:20:29,334
Don't let your body suffer.
193
00:20:30,134 --> 00:20:31,536
Your Majesty...!
194
00:20:45,985 --> 00:20:49,554
Yield just this once, Father.
195
00:20:49,555 --> 00:20:53,458
You just told me not to
release the Crown Prince.
196
00:20:53,459 --> 00:20:58,896
I am begging you to yield to the
public, not to the Crown Prince.
197
00:20:58,897 --> 00:21:02,221
What would you have me do?
Kneel before the people?
198
00:21:02,341 --> 00:21:03,431
Why not?
199
00:21:03,836 --> 00:21:05,335
Choongnyeong?
200
00:21:05,336 --> 00:21:07,905
Why do you think the
people are so resentful?
201
00:21:07,906 --> 00:21:14,545
Why do you think they relate to the Crown
Prince more deeply than they relate to you?
202
00:21:15,247 --> 00:21:17,315
They feel forsaken.
203
00:21:18,017 --> 00:21:22,553
No one cares about us.
The King has forsaken us.
204
00:21:22,955 --> 00:21:24,822
Stop this.
205
00:21:24,823 --> 00:21:27,392
If that's not true, you must tell them.
206
00:21:27,726 --> 00:21:31,896
I do care about you.
I never stopped caring about you.
207
00:21:32,264 --> 00:21:34,866
You must show them
what's really in your heart.
208
00:21:38,137 --> 00:21:42,672
If a father gives his children love,
they return that love with trust.
209
00:21:43,642 --> 00:21:45,910
And since there is no weapon
more powerful than public support,
210
00:21:45,911 --> 00:21:48,546
there is no enemy you can't defeat.
211
00:22:40,326 --> 00:22:44,263
Do you worry about the
country at such young age?
212
00:22:44,264 --> 00:22:45,464
No... sir.
213
00:22:45,465 --> 00:22:49,134
"No, Your Majesty."
That's how you answer.
214
00:22:49,135 --> 00:22:53,372
I just followed my father.
215
00:22:55,475 --> 00:22:57,809
You have an admirable father.
216
00:23:05,218 --> 00:23:09,087
Hand out warm clothes to
everyone shivering in the cold.
217
00:23:09,789 --> 00:23:13,892
If we run short, give
them my fur coat as well.
218
00:23:13,893 --> 00:23:15,727
Yes, Your Majesty...
219
00:23:36,583 --> 00:23:40,619
Children forsaken by their father...
220
00:23:50,296 --> 00:23:52,664
Allow me some time.
221
00:23:53,399 --> 00:24:00,372
I must first calm my people and persuade
the officials in order to fulfill your requests.
222
00:24:00,373 --> 00:24:03,875
You are willing to accept the requests?
223
00:24:07,113 --> 00:24:11,316
Ten thousand warhorses and
one hundred thousand soldiers.
224
00:24:11,818 --> 00:24:13,385
I will try my best.
225
00:24:13,386 --> 00:24:18,056
And we want the Crown Prince.
226
00:24:18,057 --> 00:24:22,394
If it is necessary, I will consider.
227
00:24:23,229 --> 00:24:26,798
You have fifteen days.
228
00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:30,802
No, it will take at least two months.
229
00:24:30,803 --> 00:24:31,869
I'm a busy man.
230
00:24:32,038 --> 00:24:37,309
I don't have two months to waste
in this country of barbarians.
231
00:24:38,778 --> 00:24:40,946
I'm sure it is very wearisome.
232
00:24:41,781 --> 00:24:47,352
And with public hostility,
it can't be easy for you to go outside.
233
00:24:47,353 --> 00:24:50,956
I see you know about that.
234
00:24:50,957 --> 00:24:55,594
I will send over the best of my palace
staff and call the Royal musicians to
235
00:24:55,595 --> 00:24:57,996
provide entertainment for you
from time to time as well.
236
00:24:57,997 --> 00:25:03,335
Would that help relieve some boredom?
237
00:25:12,445 --> 00:25:15,513
In a palace staff's disguise?
238
00:25:19,285 --> 00:25:25,891
I commend you for the effort,
but there is no way I can do this alone.
239
00:25:25,892 --> 00:25:28,894
The Hall of Great Peace
is not a tiny little place.
240
00:25:28,895 --> 00:25:32,531
How am I going to cover
that entire place alone?
241
00:25:35,735 --> 00:25:39,938
Perhaps we can employ the
eunuchs that had been to Ming.
242
00:25:40,740 --> 00:25:42,974
That's not going to happen.
243
00:25:44,077 --> 00:25:45,844
What do you mean?
244
00:25:45,845 --> 00:25:49,681
Office of Eunuchs had them all arrested.
245
00:26:14,139 --> 00:26:18,110
I hope to heaven this does not happen,
246
00:26:18,111 --> 00:26:21,747
but if you're arrested and
worse comes to worse...
247
00:26:23,983 --> 00:26:25,484
... use this.
248
00:26:35,495 --> 00:26:40,599
Be very careful not to
expose your identity.
249
00:26:42,869 --> 00:26:49,875
If you die before I do,
I will not forgive you.
250
00:27:08,694 --> 00:27:09,994
What's this?
251
00:27:11,998 --> 00:27:14,398
I know it's not perfume.
252
00:27:17,937 --> 00:27:20,872
The Royal Physician
will tell me soon enough.
253
00:27:37,290 --> 00:27:40,058
I guess we bought ourselves two month...
254
00:27:57,410 --> 00:27:59,611
Don't you feel kind of bad for the King?
255
00:27:59,612 --> 00:28:02,981
He looks so sad and troubled.
256
00:28:02,982 --> 00:28:06,184
I bet it wasn't his idea
to beat up the scholars.
257
00:28:06,185 --> 00:28:10,789
And it doesn't look like he
doesn't care about us either.
258
00:28:10,790 --> 00:28:14,025
You saw him putting coats on the people.
259
00:28:14,026 --> 00:28:15,460
I sure did.
260
00:28:16,729 --> 00:28:20,565
Public sentiment is turning around?
261
00:28:21,567 --> 00:28:26,771
More than half of them walked
away, and more importantly...
262
00:28:28,341 --> 00:28:31,810
Trust the Royal court and
go back to the academy.
263
00:28:31,811 --> 00:28:36,581
No tribute, no deployment of troops
and Crown Prince's release.
264
00:28:36,582 --> 00:28:40,852
We don't have a firm answer on anything.
How we can we disband the protest?
265
00:28:40,853 --> 00:28:45,757
We will release the
arrested scholars for now.
266
00:28:49,095 --> 00:28:52,964
What makes you think the Royal
retainers are not on the same side?
267
00:28:53,866 --> 00:28:59,638
If we thought that we could resolve
this with rage and brute force,
268
00:28:59,639 --> 00:29:03,775
we would all be sitting out
here with you right now.
269
00:29:03,776 --> 00:29:08,546
There's nothing you can say
that will change our minds.
270
00:29:11,918 --> 00:29:14,286
Perhaps we should think about this.
271
00:29:14,287 --> 00:29:15,887
Manli.
272
00:29:15,888 --> 00:29:21,993
Let us go back to the academy
and reevaluate our approach.
273
00:29:21,994 --> 00:29:26,665
This demonstration is the decision
of the entire student body.
274
00:29:26,666 --> 00:29:27,966
Have you forgotten?
275
00:29:30,269 --> 00:29:33,939
Then why don't we ask again?
276
00:29:39,245 --> 00:29:41,446
Everyone is here right now.
277
00:29:43,716 --> 00:29:46,584
We didn't even get the
Crown Prince released.
278
00:29:46,585 --> 00:29:51,156
Don't you think we need to wrap up
the negotiation to get him released?
279
00:30:02,702 --> 00:30:08,473
The scholars agreed to a conditional
disbandment of the demonstration?
280
00:30:09,041 --> 00:30:12,110
But the officials appear
to be hanging in there.
281
00:30:12,812 --> 00:30:14,179
If the scholars broke down,
282
00:30:14,180 --> 00:30:16,748
it's a matter of time before
the officials break down as well!
283
00:30:16,749 --> 00:30:17,882
Don't you know that?
284
00:30:25,591 --> 00:30:26,958
Come out, men.
285
00:30:38,971 --> 00:30:41,973
Are you Gim Jongsuh,
of the Office of Royal Seal?
286
00:30:42,608 --> 00:30:43,975
Yes, sir.
287
00:30:44,910 --> 00:30:46,678
You don't need to come along.
288
00:30:56,288 --> 00:30:59,891
Minister, what are you going to do?
289
00:30:59,892 --> 00:31:01,026
Minister!
290
00:31:04,263 --> 00:31:08,299
Do not give in!
Don't fall for anything they throw at you!
291
00:31:08,300 --> 00:31:11,836
Do you hear me?
292
00:31:23,916 --> 00:31:26,384
I will let you make the decision.
293
00:31:26,986 --> 00:31:30,088
Would all of you like to be removed
from your posts and sent home
294
00:31:30,089 --> 00:31:34,659
or can we wrap this up with
dismissal of Gim Jongsuh alone?
295
00:31:48,107 --> 00:31:51,776
What's the possibility that the
arrested eunuchs really are spies?
296
00:31:52,178 --> 00:31:58,216
About five to seven out of ten of them
are likely to have done work for Ming.
297
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:02,987
There were plenty of reports
in the previous dynasty as well.
298
00:32:02,988 --> 00:32:06,624
Then how come we haven't
been able to stop them?
299
00:32:06,625 --> 00:32:08,793
Why do you think we call
Ming a superior state?
300
00:32:08,794 --> 00:32:14,632
Being big and strong alone
doesn't make them superior.
301
00:32:15,201 --> 00:32:22,941
You can't rule an entire continent
without an effective system
302
00:32:22,942 --> 00:32:26,177
to recruit and train foreigners
to serve your own purpose.
303
00:32:38,724 --> 00:32:40,191
Stop.
304
00:32:55,674 --> 00:32:59,878
This is very strong poison.
What's the purpose?
305
00:33:02,081 --> 00:33:03,982
Is it from the Ming envoys?
306
00:33:03,983 --> 00:33:06,284
Did they tell you to kill the King?
307
00:33:09,221 --> 00:33:10,655
Talk.
308
00:33:13,058 --> 00:33:13,992
Talk!
309
00:33:16,195 --> 00:33:18,196
I was going to kill myself.
310
00:33:18,959 --> 00:33:20,865
That's why I had it on me.
311
00:33:23,335 --> 00:33:27,972
Kill yourself if your identity is revealed.
312
00:33:29,308 --> 00:33:31,543
Was that the order from Ming?
313
00:33:31,544 --> 00:33:38,082
It's you that told me to kill
myself, not the Ming bastards.
314
00:33:38,617 --> 00:33:39,751
What?
315
00:33:40,319 --> 00:33:43,121
None of us wanted to go to Ming.
316
00:33:43,722 --> 00:33:46,191
We went because the
government made us go.
317
00:33:47,226 --> 00:33:51,529
But we were treated like dogs there
because we were Joseonese.
318
00:33:53,044 --> 00:33:54,772
That was okay.
319
00:33:55,701 --> 00:33:59,637
I'm a foreigner and they're not my own
people, so I can put up with their crap.
320
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:05,276
But things were not any different at home.
321
00:34:06,345 --> 00:34:08,546
You looked at us with suspicion
the moment we came back.
322
00:34:09,114 --> 00:34:12,917
And every time things like this happen,
you call us spies and torture us!
323
00:34:14,620 --> 00:34:18,122
Give me that poison.
I'll die for you right now.
324
00:34:18,757 --> 00:34:21,960
Wouldn't that make
it easier for all of us?
325
00:34:27,099 --> 00:34:28,600
Wait!
326
00:34:39,078 --> 00:34:43,014
It's an order to stop the
investigation, Director Sim.
327
00:34:43,649 --> 00:34:44,816
Pardon?
328
00:34:45,317 --> 00:34:47,785
You heard me.
329
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,389
Stop the investigation now.
330
00:34:55,694 --> 00:34:58,396
You will not protest the
stop on the investigation?
331
00:35:00,699 --> 00:35:04,202
They are sending all of them
to the Hall of Great Peace.
332
00:35:05,204 --> 00:35:07,805
That's why we don't need to.
333
00:35:08,674 --> 00:35:09,841
Minister.
334
00:35:11,009 --> 00:35:16,014
His Majesty has made
a superior move this time.
335
00:35:18,284 --> 00:35:23,821
I had the eunuchs arrested not to
find the spies but to isolate them.
336
00:35:25,090 --> 00:35:28,926
I didn't want our plans getting out again.
337
00:35:31,630 --> 00:35:35,833
This way we isolate the spies and
win the envoy's good grace as well.
338
00:35:36,468 --> 00:35:39,537
Kill two birds with one stone.
339
00:35:44,476 --> 00:35:48,513
I doubt this was Administer of
Memorial Jo Malseng's idea.
340
00:35:50,316 --> 00:35:52,517
I wonder who is giving His Majesty advice.
341
00:36:13,172 --> 00:36:18,376
I'm sure at least half of you are
in secret contact with Ming.
342
00:36:21,413 --> 00:36:24,215
There's evidence that Royal
Attendant has collected...
343
00:36:28,253 --> 00:36:32,990
And I can easily get a confession
out of you by torture if I wanted to.
344
00:36:32,991 --> 00:36:34,359
Don't you agree?
345
00:36:35,027 --> 00:36:38,528
Send us back to the Department
of Punishment instead.
346
00:36:39,230 --> 00:36:42,967
It's better to die than to be
mocked and falsely accused.
347
00:36:44,636 --> 00:36:46,104
Don't.
348
00:36:52,978 --> 00:36:54,512
Don't say things like that.
349
00:36:56,281 --> 00:37:01,786
It's usually the guilty ones that talk
about death and act overly righteous.
350
00:37:01,787 --> 00:37:03,187
Don't you know that?
351
00:37:07,059 --> 00:37:10,728
What do we have to do
to prove our innocence?
352
00:37:13,899 --> 00:37:18,536
I'm not interested in your innocence.
353
00:37:23,609 --> 00:37:26,444
I don't care if you are all spies.
354
00:37:26,879 --> 00:37:30,648
In fact, if you are spies, your spy
355
00:37:30,649 --> 00:37:34,118
training in Ming will probably help
us in getting back at them.
356
00:37:38,157 --> 00:37:39,557
You know what?
357
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,162
This is an apology.
358
00:37:47,866 --> 00:37:52,136
I'm apologizing to you right now
for the King and the Royal House.
359
00:37:54,873 --> 00:38:00,945
it's us that sent you to Ming,
and it's us that made you citizens
360
00:38:00,946 --> 00:38:05,249
of a powerless state who have no
choice but to succumb to being spies.
361
00:38:07,953 --> 00:38:09,120
How about it?
362
00:38:10,322 --> 00:38:16,260
If it's all right with you, I'd like us
to bury the hatchet and start over.
363
00:38:23,168 --> 00:38:26,838
The job I have for you is not an easy one.
364
00:38:28,273 --> 00:38:30,641
But I hope you'll approach
it with enthusiasm.
365
00:38:31,143 --> 00:38:38,282
My guess is you want to live proudly as
citizens of Joseon, not as Ming spies.
366
00:38:39,151 --> 00:38:40,084
Am I wrong?
367
00:38:42,454 --> 00:38:47,391
I promise that the Royal House
will do its best to make sure
368
00:38:47,392 --> 00:38:52,964
what happened to you doesn't
happen to anyone else.
369
00:39:21,326 --> 00:39:24,629
Don't I look pathetic?
370
00:39:25,831 --> 00:39:27,198
Your Majesty...
371
00:39:27,933 --> 00:39:34,037
I'm weak, powerless King who
plays by a young prince's ideas.
372
00:39:34,038 --> 00:39:35,373
Am I not?
373
00:39:36,375 --> 00:39:41,278
Your Majesty, in the five years
I have been serving you,
374
00:39:41,279 --> 00:39:45,216
you have never seemed as big
and strong as you do today.
375
00:39:48,186 --> 00:39:57,428
You're holding on to principles despite
tremendous pressures from all sides.
376
00:39:59,865 --> 00:40:03,066
This is about finding a way
to suppress Ming.
377
00:40:04,169 --> 00:40:10,541
It doesn't matter where
the idea comes from.
378
00:40:22,206 --> 00:40:28,492
Hall of Great Peace
379
00:40:37,102 --> 00:40:40,972
Oh, that looks good!
380
00:40:43,175 --> 00:40:44,941
How do you do?
381
00:40:45,410 --> 00:40:46,644
A few of these...
382
00:40:48,046 --> 00:40:50,046
These look tasty, too!
383
00:40:50,682 --> 00:40:53,484
Oh, what's that?
384
00:40:53,485 --> 00:40:54,785
Who are you?
385
00:40:58,290 --> 00:41:02,860
I guess you haven't been informed yet.
386
00:41:02,861 --> 00:41:04,829
I am the new chef.
387
00:41:12,938 --> 00:41:15,373
Oh, green onions.
You have to peal off...
388
00:41:15,374 --> 00:41:19,043
Those have already been cleaned.
389
00:41:35,994 --> 00:41:44,101
Best of the palace servants have
been sent to the Hall of Great Peace.
390
00:41:45,137 --> 00:41:49,840
I have unintentionally
inconvenienced you.
391
00:41:51,710 --> 00:41:53,978
It is not an inconvenience.
392
00:41:55,213 --> 00:42:01,152
It wouldn't hurt to be hospitable
to soften up the envoys.
393
00:42:02,487 --> 00:42:07,191
I'm glad you feel that way.
394
00:42:09,561 --> 00:42:13,330
May I take this as an attempt
to protect the Crown Prince?
395
00:42:17,002 --> 00:42:18,502
I don't know...
396
00:42:19,304 --> 00:42:20,537
Your Majesty?
397
00:42:21,373 --> 00:42:25,008
If we give them all of the tribute
and military aid they seek,
398
00:42:25,009 --> 00:42:28,412
the country's economy
will be shaken at the root.
399
00:42:28,947 --> 00:42:37,088
Then would you trade the Crown Prince
for reduction on their demands?
400
00:42:37,089 --> 00:42:41,225
If it comes down to that, I will consider.
401
00:42:41,226 --> 00:42:45,296
This country does not have a future
without the Crown Prince.
402
00:42:45,297 --> 00:42:47,732
What makes you think that?
403
00:42:48,266 --> 00:42:53,970
There're several princes that can succeed
to the throne other than the Crown Prince.
404
00:42:53,971 --> 00:42:59,443
You cannot do this.
You know better than anyone.
405
00:42:59,444 --> 00:43:05,583
Unfortunately, Kings are often forced
to make decisions against his own wish.
406
00:43:14,292 --> 00:43:19,396
There are other princes who
can succeed to the throne?
407
00:43:19,865 --> 00:43:22,299
Please don't try to put me on the throne.
408
00:43:23,634 --> 00:43:25,803
Are you going to take a back seat again?
409
00:43:27,272 --> 00:43:30,775
I'm asking you to stay out of it.
410
00:43:31,576 --> 00:43:33,177
What do you mean by that?
411
00:43:45,157 --> 00:43:48,659
His Majesty is prepared to send
the Crown Prince as a hostage?
412
00:43:49,661 --> 00:43:52,263
Perhaps Hyobin is manipulating him.
413
00:43:53,398 --> 00:43:56,901
Of all Royal Princes, Kyoungnyeong is
414
00:43:56,902 --> 00:43:59,170
the one His Majesty is
closest to right now.
415
00:43:59,838 --> 00:44:06,043
I'm going to have to find a way to
protect the Crown Prince myself.
416
00:44:08,971 --> 00:44:12,016
See if you can contact
the envoy in secrecy.
417
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:27,264
We need to find a way to
arouse the public again...
418
00:44:31,236 --> 00:44:37,541
Before the regional lords reach
the capital with their armies...
419
00:44:37,542 --> 00:44:41,579
public rage must be reignited.
420
00:44:44,149 --> 00:44:53,290
If Crown Prince is killed...
who would the people accuse?
421
00:45:00,537 --> 00:45:03,734
Thank you.
You made a difficult decision.
422
00:45:04,201 --> 00:45:08,505
It's the only decision I can make as
a servant of the Royal house of Goguryeo.
423
00:45:09,507 --> 00:45:12,508
We leave tonight.
424
00:45:40,906 --> 00:45:43,474
This is your work as well?
425
00:45:51,683 --> 00:45:57,254
Pack your bag.
We could be in for a long haul.
426
00:45:57,255 --> 00:45:59,723
I'll need someone to
maintain the weapons.
427
00:46:00,385 --> 00:46:01,725
Yes, sir...
428
00:46:32,452 --> 00:46:33,991
Why?
429
00:46:35,616 --> 00:46:38,128
My father is doing this
because he is power hungry...
430
00:46:39,297 --> 00:46:41,899
But why are you going?
431
00:46:44,903 --> 00:46:47,738
You have nothing to gain from this.
432
00:46:48,506 --> 00:46:51,342
You can lose me forever.
Don't you understand?
433
00:46:52,978 --> 00:46:54,712
That won't happen.
434
00:46:55,846 --> 00:47:00,584
I won't lose you no matter what happens.
435
00:47:02,620 --> 00:47:05,022
Run away instead.
That's...
436
00:47:05,023 --> 00:47:08,758
No.
I want your father's recognition.
437
00:47:18,336 --> 00:47:22,873
Then I can make you my
woman in a dignified way.
438
00:47:23,742 --> 00:47:25,876
It's not possible.
439
00:47:26,344 --> 00:47:30,114
If your father can change the world...
440
00:47:32,050 --> 00:47:35,786
I think I can persuade one
man to change his mind.
441
00:47:39,257 --> 00:47:40,824
I have to get back.
442
00:47:42,127 --> 00:47:44,328
I have a lot of work to do.
443
00:47:57,342 --> 00:47:58,575
Wait.
444
00:48:04,983 --> 00:48:06,417
Come back to me.
445
00:48:09,988 --> 00:48:11,789
If you don't come back to me safely...
446
00:48:14,625 --> 00:48:16,160
I'll hate you forever.
447
00:48:50,361 --> 00:48:53,664
It will take as little as one month
for the revolutionary army of
448
00:48:53,665 --> 00:48:57,501
Gyeongsang, Jeolla, Choongchung
provinces to reach the capital.
449
00:48:57,502 --> 00:49:02,072
We cannot let the city lose
the heat until they get here.
