Original subtitles

Who are you?

Other people call me Prince Deok Heung.

I am the current king's sookbu (father's younger brother).

When did you meet him?

A few days ago. Inside the palace.

Do you intend to make me king?

I am thinking I will.

Once what's in the book has been unriddled,

Once what's in the book has been unriddled,

then the path to heaven can be possible found,

is what the High Doctor believes.

Go and unriddle together, with the High Doctor.

Be prepared to leave and meet me at the location you said to meet daily.

That Woodalchi General...

I think someone inside the palace might be in communication with him.

So, if there was poison coated on the corner,

the person who uses this paper...

will be poisoned unknowingly.

Then... the antidote for it?

Of course, it's in my possession.

What do I need to do for you?

Where is the High Doctor?

Episode 15

Subtitles brought to you by The Faith Team @ Viki.com

High Doctor?

High Doctor!

High Doctor?

High Doctor, wake up!

Imja! ("you" -respectful and slightly intimate)

Imja!

Hey! Over here!

They're in there.

Something is wrong with High Doctor. I was about to send for you.

Has the poison already started spreading?

Poison!

Poison, you say? How did you know to come here?

Lady Choi sent me here, saying High Doctor seemed to be poisoned.

Who? Why?

No... since it's poison, you can use an antidote right. Since you, the doctor, came here.

There's no smell. Could it be "Seokhwa"? [petrifaction - a process of turning organic material to stone]

I... have this medicine. It was High Doctor's medicine. Will this be needed?

I need to know what poison it is to make the antidote...

I heard the poison was on the edges of the paper.

I can take the paper to find out about the poison, but...

This person... can she be saved? That's my question.

Prince Deok Heung wants to meet you. He said he's waiting at where you two met previously.

Prince Deok Heung?

He was the one who poisoned High Doctor.

He said to go if you want the antidote.

How much is there left... how much time?

If it is "Seokhwa" poison, her fingers will start paralyzing first. If the paralysis spreads to internal organs and heart...

How much longer does she have?!

I will do whatever I can to delay the process... but a day, at the most.

General?

Double check if someone was following Doctor Jang.

I understand!

Go tell pledged uncle that High Doctor is sick and cannot move. So tell him to protect the house well.

It hurts... Young.

General!

That guy is inside alone... but there's someone following him outside.

Make sure he can't come close.

It's you... the one who can hear from far away.

You came?

Do you have the antidote?

I was waiting.

Sit first.

Where's the antidote?

Do you dare threaten a relative of the King?

Give it to me!

If you do this, it's going to be difficult.

Up until now, the people I have killed are so many that I can't even count...

but every time I did it without inflicting pain by a knife...

However... today, you...

I am thinking of dismembering your limbs one by one. So you'd better tell me the truth!

I am going to become one of the two anyway...

Where's the antidote?

Either I become the King... or I die.

This is a jab. Next time, I'm cutting...

If you kill me, your woman dies too. She's your woman, right?

The woman that's called High Doctor...

she doesn't have much time left.

Tell me... your condition.

But everyone says there is no one but you.

One who knows the palace thoroughly...

the Woodalchi who moves around to protect the palace.

What is it? What do you want?

The Royal... Seal.

Whether you take it or steal it... bring it to me and I'll give you the antidote.

You want me to bring the Royal Seal and hand it to you?

As daylight will be here and the sun will rise soon...

no matter if he's the best doctor in Goryeo, she won't live... that woman.

The day... will come soon.

You stay here and guard my sword.

H-h-here?

Until I come back.

In formation!

General.

Who is this?

Aren't you the criminal who broke the national law and ran away?

Have you been well?

Are you okay?

I've come here to ask a favor.

First, I think I would need to give an order to catch you and make you kneel down.

Your Majesty.

Move back.

This person is Choi Young. All of you move back.

What is it?

The High Doctor has been poisoned.

Poisoned?

Exactly how?

To get the antidote, I need something of Your Majesty's.

Mine?

What is it that you need?

Give up your Seal.

The Seal?

My Royal Seal, is what your saying?

Having that is the only way the High Doctor can be saved.

Look here, Choi Young.

Are you asking because you don't know what it means for me to give up my Seal?

Because of Your Majesty's order, I went there and because of Your Majesty's order, I captured that person.

And that person also saved the Queen Highness's life and stood by your side no matter what.

Such a person

is about to die.

Please give up your Royal Seal.

Alright, who's the one that wants my Seal?

It is Deok Heung.

Your Majesty, there is little time left.

Are you right now telling me to give up the King's Seal because of one woman?

Can't I do it?

Didn't you tell me I was your king?

Didn't you tell me to make you my subject?

You have told me that I am your friend and your citizen.

That citizen, right now... is asking you to save her.

Do you still not know... why we need a King?

Giving up my Seal means giving up my power as a king.

That Seal, who gave it to you anyway?

You have gone crazy!

You cannot do this to me.

If you don't, I will personally take it.

That bastard capture him.

Your order... I have received it.

Your Majesty.

Do you not have any weapon?

No, I don't.

Try to capture me properly... like Woodalchi.

Sound the alarm! Alarm!

He is going toward the Gangahn Palace.

Gangahn Palace!

He will be going to the room with the Seal.

Team A, barricade the road and go towards the room with the Seal.

Yes, sir!

What exactly do you mean!?

What do you mean General has infiltrated?!

No matter what, block him.

Right now, he is an enemy who is trying to steal... the Royal Seal!

HOW do we block him?!

The enemy does not have any weapon.

Attack him without any fear.

The enemy cannot harm us.

If you come closer...

you'll get hurt.

you'll get hurt.

Try it.

Stab him!

He went to the Royal Seal room.

That is what he is after.

Where's the Seal?

It's here.

We must defend with all our might.

Don't give any room and seal tightly!

Yes, Sir!

Let me repeat. The enemy cannot hurt us. Therefore...

we must protect the Royal Seal, even if it means we have to slay the enemy without any hesitation if an opportune time arises.

Your Majesty.

Choi Young?

There is no sign of him.

Assistant General! Assistant General!

It seems like... before meeting His Majesty... Choi Young had already stolen the seal.

After that, he pretended to attack the room where the Seal was

and misguided the entire Woodalchi defense to guard the inner palace and he seemed to have escaped during that time.

So, what about the Royal Seal?

We lost it.

Where is it?

You really brought it?

The antidote first.

Don't I have to check if this is the real Royal Seal?

I am different from you.

A reason for me not to kill you... tell me one.

That antidote... just once won't work.

What?

You have to eat that once every four days.

What can I do? I have to survive too.

Once every four days...

I have to get that from you each time?

She has to eat that for seven times to recover.

In the meanwhile, what about the High Doctor?

She won't die.

I know since I have used it several times.

And one more thing... how can you speak to the King's relative like this?

I might even become your king.

I will come back for this in four days.

What! I thought you would be more anguished! You are just leaving like that?

There should be more things you want to talk about.

If they're not human,

I don't speak long to them.

Is the antidote working?

We have to wait and see.

It wasn't a poison that stopped her blood flow, but one that blocked her consciousness, that's a relief.

If not, her organs would already be damaged by now. Let's watch her a little longer.

Until when?

A bit longer.

He told you that she has to be given the antidote once every four days, seven more times, right?

I'll investigate it. What ingredients it has, and whether I can make it.

But... what did you do?

He wouldn't have just given this antidote to you.

He asked to exchange it for something unnecessary... so I did.

Something unnecessary?

But... her hand is very cold!

This person... is usually warm to the extent of being hot.

I know that.

If it's the right antidote, she will get better.

We just wait like this?

Say something to her. If the medicine is effective, her senses will return before her body.

If she finds out that she can't move, she could be in a panic.

Will you look at that for me?

There's no way...

I was told it's the Royal Seal. Please check if it's true.

I haven't seen that kind of thing before.

How is this in Your Highness's hands?

Choi Young came and brought it. To me.

Choi Young... why... ?

Who knows.

It appears that he doesn't like the current Sovereign. Just like you.

He came and sought you out himself and you just let him go?

That bastard is going to be with the High Doctor now. Without capturing him, you just...

What could I have done?

That guy uses a sword... and I only know how to read books.

So you SAW him?! And how could you just...

There were other guys following me.

Didn't you want that?

I know you had a plan to steal it from the palace.

I did.

What are you planning to do with this seal?

Didn't I tell you? I don't entertain any thoughts.

Put it to use as you deem necessary.

If I use this... to make Your Highness the king...

Didn't you want to have the High Doctor?

Choi Young is attending to the High Doctor and the same Choi Young came to find me.

What? Isn't it simple?

What happened yesterday cannot be known outside the palace under any circumstances.

If someone questions about last night's ruckus, tell him that it was a training activity.

Let me repeat. No one has infiltrated the palace last night.

And accordingly there is no lost item.

Is that understood?

Your Majesty.

Because of Woodalchi's incompetence, we have lost Your Majesty's Seal last night.

Since I was in charge, all responsibility lies upon me.

I, no longer, have the right to be in charge of Your Majesty's guard.

Please punish us.

What I was talking about until now, just until where did you hear?

I said nothing happened last night.

So just what is there for me to punish you for?

Your Majesty.

If... you cannot keep your lips shut this time...

and the world knows what I lost and to whom...

then I will properly punish you.

Do you understand?

We will be careful.

Choi Young... just came by?

I know Choi Young well...

That bastard just came on his own and handed over the King's Seal?

Prince Deok Heung is playing a pretty dangerous joke.

How dare he involve me in his playing...

What should we do with the private soldiers that we have sent out all over the country?

Although finding High Doctor is important,

we only have half the soldiers left in Gaekyeong. [Capital city of Goryeo]

Why don't we bring them back in, older brother?

The palace guards activities seem suspicious as well.

We will continue to search for High Doctor. Search every corner of Goryeo and even above the Yuan border to the North, as if to search for head lice!

On one side, we will pressure the King.

And the other side... will be playing along with Prince Deok Heung's joke.

She should get caught between one of the two.

Choi Young, that guy, betrayed me.

I can't believe that.

He said that in front of me.

Because he had to save High Doctor, to hand over my reign as King.

Did he say that?

Hand over your reign as King...

Then what could he mean?

He said to hand over my Royal Seal.

He will give it to my uncle... to the one who desires my Throne!

I... cannot believe that.

Of course, you can't.

Even I couldn't believe it myself, even though it happened right in front of my face!

Even if everyone in the world turned their backs on me,

I thought that at least Choi Young would stay by my side.

I really believed that.

Your Majesty.

Although it may be hard, what he said... could I listen to the details?

The details?

Of the words that ripped my heart, again?

Please... again.

He said he dragged her here on my order.

That she is the woman he caught on my order.

Therefore, he had to save her.

And to let go of my Royal Seal.

He said that very boldly.

So what did you say?

What could I say?

Choi Young, are you in front of me right now...

to ask me to hand over my Royal Seal for just one woman?

Can't I do that?

He looked so confident when he asked for the Seal.

He was scolding ME, his KING!

That citizen, right now... is asking to save her.

Handing over my Royal Seal means handing over my throne.

That Royal Seal... just who gave you that?

Your Majesty.

[It shows the Chinese characters engraved in the Royal Seal that tells you that it was sent by the Yuan]

That Royal Seal... just who gave it to you?

I didn't even find out properly.

This nation, the Goryeo King's Seal... do you know what it says?

Boo Mah Gook Wang Sun Myung Jung Dong Haeng Joong Suh Sung.

It says, it is the Royal Seal of the Son-In-Law's country.

That's right, this... was given by the Yuan.

I was holding onto this seal from Yuan and thought it was so precious...

So I said this to him.

"You must be crazy."

You have told me that I am your friend and your citizen.

This citizen, right now... is asking to save her.

Do you still not know why we need a King?

Everyday, I attend the Court meeting and speak up in front of the Court subjects.

My citizens are there... and for the sake of my citizens...

For my citizens...

and Queen...

I don't even know what my citizens look like.

I never met any other citizens.

The citizen I know... is only Choi Young.

But I said this to him.

"That bastard is crazy."

"Catch that bastard."

Hey you--What are you doing? -A-a-a-aigo...What are you doing?

Ahh...These men are suffering because of higher ups!

That's right. We lowly people should help each other, right?

But... you two, have you eaten?

Should I cook you something warm and delicious?

Rice soup. It's the best in Goryeo. The best.

You must be hungry. Why don't you eat first, then work.

Let's eat. Hurry! It's the yummiest thing ever!

Since I taught you how to ride a horse and use a knife...

next, I will teach you how to fish.

But... since High Doctor might not like it so much...

I'll teach something else.

There is a game called Gahbae that you play during Mid-Autumn Festival.

During the time of the full moon,

there are a lot of people on the streets, and they dance and play all night.

That... you will really like it. And...

Imja. Are you awake?

Imja.

Please... what is wrong? Can you hear me?

Just what is wrong?

Doctor! Doctor Jang!

What did you say?

Don't... don't die. Don't die.

This person... just spoke.

But what is wrong? Why is she crying like this?

Her pulse is flowing relatively smoothly.

Although the paralysis is still there...

she is alive.

Where is the criminal?

Where is the criminal?

So... the High Doctor?

For now, she is back and breathing...

but if that guy is right, she has to keep getting the antidote.

So it is possible for a person worse than the bastard Gi Cheol to exist!

To that kind of guy, I...

I sent her to him.

How is the Palace? The Woodalchi kids? Didn't they all get kicked out?

I taught them so many times that...

to not look at others' movements, but instead read their thoughts...

So, you've been framed for bribery and now you've become the country's thief.

How are you going to live well now?

First, I have to save High Doctor.

And then?

I have to send her back.

To the heavenly world?

Yes.

And then?

I'm not sure...

Should I... follow that person? To the heavenly world?

How is His Majesty?

How do you think?

Prince Deok Heung and Gi Cheol... they will start playing with the Seal.

Then those clogged up blockhead statesmen will not leave the King alone.

The Queen said that His Majesty realized what your words meant.

He would have.

Prince of the Court will hold an emergency Court meeting tomorrow morning.

He seems to want to finish up the matter quickly.

The King's advisor, Jo Il Shin, is meeting the Prince Deok Heung.

So that's how it was, just as I thought?

His Majesty, right now... is alone.

You're not going to return?

You won't return?

Didn't I tell you?

I have to first save High Doctor, and send her back...

and after that...

I will go to the Royal Medical Office and come back.

The High Doctor?

The poison is still in her body.

Like that guy said, the antidote... do I have to get more?

I have some left over, which I will take with me.

I will try to find out about what it is.

I will send some herbal medicine through Dae Man.

Even though it's not an antidote, it will help relieve the paralysis.

I heard I almost died.

It is my fault.

You always say that everything is your fault.

I... sent Deok Heung to you.

I even threatened him to bring the diary.

So? I heard you went after that guy and got the antidote.

Come here a bit.

What?

Help me sit up.

Why?

You said it's your fault that I almost died. Just do as you're told.

Sit behind me.

Behind you?

For me to lean on.

As I was lying down... my heart felt stuffy

and I couldn't breathe well.

The antidote... you have to keep eating it once every four days

for seven times. Although I don't know if that's the truth. And...

I had a dream.

Was it a dream...

Was it a dream...

or something I saw somewhere...

well that's not it.

A house I've never seen before came out...

And a me I've never seen before came out...

Is that why you cried?

In my dream, I saw you, but...

Me? Did I come into your dream?

Look here, partner.

Yes.

I... solved the dates.

Before I lost consciousness.

When the heaven's door will open... I found out.

When is it?

In another month.

If I can't return that day...

it will open in another sixty seven years.

About that heaven's door...

it was written like that in the diary.

If I want to return before I die...

I have to go that day.

Is this the emergency court meeting that Prince of the Court has called for?

Alright.

Let's start.

Your Majesty... -Speak frankly.

The Empress of Yuan, who is my sister, has sent an urgent message.

As you all are aware, the Empress has ascended to that position as a Goryeo person.

She is worried about this nation, Goryeo, day and night.

The Empress is concerned because...

she has heard that Goryeo's new King is not using the Royal Seal that the Emperor of Yuan has given.

The Emperor is deliberating how to interpret this.

What happened?

Could you have... lost it?

That couldn't be.

The Royal Seal represents this nation. So losing it could be...

as big of an issue as to doubt the qualification as a King.

What sort of talk are you daring to speak?

The nation's Seal... and while in the palace,

how could it have been lost?

Well, we just have to clear up the Yuan's concern.

Your Majesty, show me the Royal Seal.

Then I will tell them immediately.

That it's a rumor.

Your Majesty.

That Seal, I got rid of it.

Although, I am Yuan's son-in-law,

before all of that,

I am this country's king.

Therefore, I will make a seal that is fit to my status.

It can't be.. that you're saying you got rid of the Royal Seal given by the Emperor

and that you're going to use a new one?

That's right.

That would be disloyalty to the Emperor and it can seem like rebellion.

Well that's too bad.

Your Majesty, this is not something you should decide on your own.

You should ask the counsel's advice

Then please tell me.

What to engrave on the new Royal Seal.

Your Majesty.. -Speak.

What you have just said is something that could endanger this country.

If you were to anger the Emperor of Yuan,

it could lead to a war and all citizens will suffer.

You were just all talk then?

Your Majesty, we can all die...

You tell me to break away from Yuan Empire to make us independent...

and to make this nation strong and proud.

All you did was nag me about it every time we met.

Were you all talk?

Your Majesty, it's great to pursue ideology.

Think of the citizens.

Have you ever properly asked those citizens...

what do they really want?

Or are you being like this because you're scared?

State Minister, call the Minister of Office for Government Policy Coordination and Minister of National Security.

And come to the Gangahn palace.

In order to prepare for Yuan's movement,

we will have to set up a new defense strategy around the border.

Do you really think His Majesty

threw away the Seal to make a new one?

He didn't say anything wrong though, right?

How long will we use the Seal provided by Yuan?

But still, causing war over one Seal?

Don't you think going to war over a seal is a bit unrealistic?

Teacher, I...

In order to protect the peace and prosperity of the great nation, Goryeo,

there is something else we have to take care of first.

The one who has caused the Royal Seal rebellion!

Time after time, trusting Yuan's backing of him,

it's the one who keeps threatening the King as well as the Court.

Are you talking about Prince of the Court from Deokseong?

The rest of you

can continue to be worried and angry with your tongue only.

I will no longer live like that.

I will see you later.

The Seal incident is still a secret right?

Of course.

If the story gets out, your General can no longer come back.

I will keep that in mind.

Did you see today's meeting?

I did.

It seems...His Majesty is not thinking straight.

So now we have the justification.

In order to keep the peace of this nation,

we will have a rebellion.

So, it's the rebellion.

In a few days, Prince of the Court's private soldiers that were sent out will return to Gaekyeong.

If that happens, we have already lost the opportunity.

What? In such a rush?

You cannot prolong the rebellion.

If you drag it out, information will be leaked out and the momentum will be lost.

Hit it when the iron is hot!

Go meet Lord Ja Hoon.

As he lost his position at the Court, he has decided to align himself with me.

Please allow me to ask.

-Go ahead. -So, what you are saying is...

If I go and attack Prince of the Court from Deokseong and succeed in revolt,

can you guarantee that his house and his position will be mine?

That should not be enough.

Haven't I already told you that I can only guarantee that position if I become King.

That's exactly what I wanted to know.

How could you become King?

If things don't go right, I could just become a monkey that's merely performing tricks.

I shall take care of that.

So all you have to do is to perform your tricks well.

You know that King's advisor has gotten very busy lately.

He is meeting people day and night.

You know that Lord Ja Hoon that used to be under Prince of the Court?

He seems to have made an alliance with that guy as well.

He seems to have made an alliance with that guy as well.

The past few days, he's also been meeting with the palace guards

every night.

You haven't heard what they are up to?

What we have found out is that

most of the palace guard leaders

made an alliance with the King's advisor.

There.

But why are you so interested in the King's advisor all of a sudden?

Our kids have to do business.

How much longer do they have to follow them around?

That bastard framed me and got me kicked out

and it seems like he wants Woodalchi in the palm of his hand.

I got curious why he's trying so hard gathering the armed forces.

Ahh, you should wring that properly. You've got to do it harder!

Give it here!

Okay, try it. Try it.

But, I have a question.

Let's say you work so hard to get all the precious information.

Let's say you run over to your King and report it all.

Then do you think your King will praise you and accept you back?

And make you the general again in the palace?

Will he do that? Huh?!

You businessmen.. If you get nothing in return you can't do anything, can you?!

Here.

It seems like it'll be bitter.

Well it is medicine. Did you expect it to be sweet?

Feed it to me.

It's not hot. Drink it.

Oh come on..

Oh, please.

Here.

In one go. Drink it.

Drink it all.

I'm going to go get the second antidote.

Are you going to meet that Prince Deok Heung?

Yes.

You should beat him...

I did beat him.

When you meet him, will you ask him something?

What?

If there was a last page in that notebook.

I saw that notebook in my dream.

There was a last part.

Are you asking if what came out in that dream is true?

If there was no such thing then it was all just a dream.

So, it was just a pointless dream.

I want to confirm that.

I'll ask.

Oh! Excuse me, there! Are you not well?

What's wrong? Huh?

My hands..

They won't move.Y-your hands?

Oh my! Your hands! They're totally frozen like ice!

What do we do? What should we do?

This is really bad.

What is today's condition?

Condition.

Tell me.

To sit there and talk about the world with me all night long.

That is today's condition.

It would be even better if you played baduk with me. [Korean checker style game]

Just until the sun comes up.

When the sun comes up, it'll be 4 days then.

Oh, you're right.

That could be too close.

The timing seemed to be very important in using the antidote.

Didn't I tell you? I've used it several times before.

Once, I was distracted and

I was only an hour late.

He couldn't breath and the person ended up dying.

Do you know how to play baduk?

Playing baduk by oneself can be entertaining in its own way.

Rather than competing against another person,

I am competing against myself.

Can a swordsman also do that?

Competing against oneself.

What is this criminal at large doing here?

Ask this man here.

Your Highness.

I thought I told you to tell me whenever you meet this man.

Your pledged brother has been following me.

So I thought it was obvious that you would come to me.

Here, sit down.

I arranged this meeting on purpose.

This man, Choi Young, is basically one of my men now.

Prince of the Court, you are the one who brought me this far. So aren't we in the same boat now?

Let's have a drink on this wonderful night and...

Since when...

did you become one of the Prince Deok Heung's men?

Prince of the Court, I have asked you to have a seat.

Let's see. What time is it now?

What did you say?

I sent them.

What Your Majesty could not do, I did it.

There should be about 2 thousand palace guards are attacking the residence of Prince of the Court at this time.

Are you saying you sent all 2 thousand?

What about the King's security?!

Without the King knowing, you mobilized the King's army?

The man that you keep so close, Choi Young,

that man would not have even dreamt about it.

The man who dares to threaten you,

I will bring Gi Cheol's head to you, Your Majesty.

Capture that man.

He dared to mobilize the King's army!

Woodalchi!

For 10 years in Yuan,

I've come this far only trusting you.

I was truly happy bringing you back.

But Your Majesty did not notice me.

You did not acknowledge my hard work.

Protect the King!

So this meeting is for merely fellowship.

That's right.

My Lord!

My Lord! It's an attack!

What?!

The royal army has come.

There are too many. We are not able to defend ourselves.

No. The current King does not have such boldness.

Especially since you're not by his side.

You are the one who have called me and my pledged siblings to this place at this time.

And so the person who caused my house to be unattended...

This man can not die yet.

Take him.

Yes!

It's here!

Take it.

Have you really become one of his men?

Stop talking nonsense.

How about taking care of your house that's been attacked?

How many soldiers near Gaekyeong that we can mobilize?

From Hanam to Seoraemok,

around 800-900, right away...

As soon as they are mobilized, we are attacking the palace.

After attacking the palace, I will negotiate using the King as the hostage. Whether it is you, bastard Choi Young,

or His Majesty.

Since the entire Royal Army is at my house, the palace is like an empty house.

The target is Gangahn Palace.

You!

What are you up to?

It is still far from daylight... so couldn't we talk slowly?

Or...

are you thinking of giving up on the antidote and running to your king?

I know now

what kind of man you are.

From now on, I...

I'm going to the palace.

He ran away? How could he?!

When I had already given him 500 of the Royal Army men!

To not allow him to go anywhere...

and just stay in that place!

Let's go.

My BROTHER has died!

I didn't know.

Aren't you scared of becoming my enemy?

That... did you ask?

No matter what, the Prince of the Court person...

it seems I have to meet him.
