[Episode 25]

- Please have a seat. - Thank you.

What are you doing?

It's obvious that it's your first time at Dohwa Mansion, looking like a bumpkin.

My grandma told me not to look confused in a place like this!

Hey! Let's go!

Let's go.

When I blow the whistle, you have to start right away.

Of course. Just make sure to do your job right.

You were asking earlier why you would ever come here and drink!

It's horrible. I'm just being considerate of the people who cooked the food.

For something that's horrible, you're eating a lot of it.

It's not good at all! I'm afraid there will be a lot of leftovers.

Wait, why did you wear something so fancy and shiny?

Come on! These are my regular clothes. Really!

He says this is what he usually wears!

Hey, what's with your face? We came to a nice party.

Wow, I'd only heard about this place, but Dohwa Mansion is really great.

This is your first time too, right?

I've been here.

Don't lie to me! How could you have come here?

Now let me pour you some wine!

Since you are serving General Yi Seong Gye

you do have an impressive presence.

Let me pour you a drink as well.

I saw your whole match with Traitor Gil Tae Mi!

I see.

I was wondering who you were, and you're the best swordsman!

Could we toast? Much respect to you.

It must be nice.

We should have come together sooner.

We have been so occupied with state affairs, we had no time for it.

Even then, we carried out bringing the soldiers back successfully.

So it makes no sense that we haven't had a time to be together until now.

Yes, thank you again for hosting such a grand feast.

- Please let me pour you a drink. - Thank you.

Remember when we attacked Sungin Gate?

This man ran over to us and told us that General Yi already entered Sungin Gate!

So I said, "This is Sungin Gate! What's with this nonsense?"

You know, the pronunciations for Sungin Gate and Suneui Gate

are really confusing.

Wasn't it confusing for you?

He probably still doesn't know which gate he attacked!

Stop it!

- Where is the outhouse here? - Go around over there.

Why are you looking at me that way?

Are you looking for an outhouse?

It's inside, over there.

You shouldn't think that it will be easy.

I don't think it will be easy.

I just thought we'd get land soon, but that's not the case...

So everyone's disappointed.

Disappointment is a luxury for us.

How is that a luxury?

Do you remember Hong In Bang, who stole our land?

What about that son of a bitch Hong?

He already had a lot, but he never gave up his quest to gain more.

There was no giving up.

That's why he was a son of a bitch.

Yes, he was to us. But...

we are fighting against people like him.

We are getting ours back from people like him.

It's definitely not easy. Whoever gives up first will lose.

Whoever is disappointed first will lose.

Then what do we need to do?

We have to have the desire that we will definitely get it back.

Then we will gain our will, which creates our power.

Don't forget.

General Jo Min Soo was going to mobilize soldiers so he wouldn't lose his land.

Would anyone else in the noble class be any different?

That's how they are! So we have to have our will and power.

That's right! Leader Boon Yi is always right!

When she says disappointment is luxury, then it is!

If we get disappointed, it means we're losing!

All right! Let's go all the way!

Let's do this!

Let's eat and gather strength!

Did you know anything?

Whether it was the content of Jo Joon's plea

or how Jung Do Jeon divided us with 1000 gyeol!

Even reconciliation of Jo Min Soo and Yi Seong Gye...

Did you know any of it?

Why is it important whether I knew anything or not?

The reform that Jo Joon and Yi Seong Gye planned to carry out...

was not any different from what our Sadaebu

has been arguing for for the past 40 years!

Whether Sambong does it or I do it, what is the difference?

- It is different! - Teacher!

Who carries out the reform is the most important part...

and based on that, its result will change!

If it was your reform, I would have supported you with no conditions.

- But Sambong's reform is different. - Teacher!

Why do you apply such prejudices only on Sambong?

Because Sambong's thoughts have always been rebellious.

Sambong doesn't believe in natural order.

- He goes against Heaven! - Teacher!

If you keep insisting...

you will have no choice but to stand against reformation of this country.

Is that what you are going to do?

The rumor of "Yi for King" was truly a dishonorable scheme.

What upsets me more is that the Sadaebu is divided

because of your dishonorable scheme!

When everyone should come together for reformation with one heart!

One heart...

Do you really believe there is such a thing as "one heart"?

I have been wondering that since coming back to Sungkyunkwan.

"Why can't Poeun understand conflicts between people at all?"

"Why does Poeun always say that people should come together"?

People are not capable of it!

Each and every person has their own, different, heart.

Do you not believe in the path of Confucius and Mencius?

Brother, politics are inevitably based on distrust.

I'm sure Sambong also shares the same thought.

Where on earth is there a policy based on trust in people?

Why else do we need laws?

It is a legal duty, not the duty of the Confucian scholars.

Sambong is also a scholar of Confucius.

Sambong is also trying to reform Goryeo

with a belief in the good nature of people.

Do you not want to see it, or are you unable?

Maybe Sambong... is trying to establish Yi Seong Gye as King!

- How could you? - Should we make a bet?

Should we make a bet?

At this rate, we will never be able to create the country that we want.

I am eager to implement the land policy reform right away.

But in order to achieve that dream, we're supposed to divide them first...

That's why I agreed on investigating the ones with over 1000 gyeol first.

But now, to withdraw the reform and compromise with Jo Min Soo?

So he is having a drink with Jo Min Soo at Dohwa Mansion right now?

Woojae...

At this point, it won't be 1000 gyeol anymore.

Who knows, will it be 5,000 gyeol, or 10,000 gyeol?

Do you want to shed blood in Manwoldae again?

- Revolution calls for blood! - If we can avoid it, we should!

Do you even know what a difficult path it is?

I know! I do! But...

but I am a scholar of Confucianism, after all.

I'd like to choose the method and the result as a scholar.

- Ha Ryoon came to our army base. - Ha Ryoon?

Yes, he's requesting to see you.

- Is the food to your liking? - Oh, yes.

Thank you for your generous welcome.

This is nothing compared to your contribution to this country.

Let all of us get stinking drunk tonight!

- Yes, that sounds good! - Yes!

Breaking my wine glass will be the signal.

When I break the glass, you will blow the whistle and notify everyone.

Yes, my lord.

With the signal, it's your job to lead the soldiers and start the attack.

There should be no mistake about it.

Yes, please don't worry.

Is everything ready?

Yes, I have everything ready as you ordered.

But it is Yi Seong Gye. Will it be all right?

I finally realized... that Yi Seong Gye and I cannot coexist anyway.

The hand of reconciliation is only temporary.

Once the public opinion calms down, he will definitely attack me.

So I have no choice but to attack him first.

You lie every time you open your mouth! When did I do that? It wasn't me!

I just cut it horizontally, upwards...

Upwards? You were so scared, you were crying your eyes out...

A man doesn't cry. That's not true!

When did I ever cry?

- What gate was it earlier? - It's some gate!

You don't even know!

As we expected, Lee Bang Ji, the best swordsman, also attended the feast.

I hoped that he wouldn't come.

If our first plan fails, it will be a difficult fight.

You should never let him have a sword.

Yes, my lord.

Yi Bang Woo, the first son of Yi Seong Gye, is not easy either.

- You should take care of him. - Yes, sir.

By the way, some big man followed them in tonight.

He brought a sword, so he seems to be a warrior.

What should we do?

He's probably just another of General Yi's soldiers.

Don't worry about him.

Just focus on Lee Bang Ji.

If you make a scene or start a fight after drinking tonight...

I will not let it slide.

Do you understand?

I know!

- Did you ask for me? - I'm glad you came!

Have a seat.

Bring out rice and soup and a bottle of wine.

Yes.

Here! Bring out rice and soup for us too! We're starving.

- Bring out rice wine too! - Make it hot.

Thank you! Be careful getting home!

- What would you like? - Rice wine, please!

You said that disappointment meant losing?

When I heard it... I understood how big your disappointment was.

Trust me.

You know I am impatient. So I also have the drive.

Wait and see. I will keep nagging Teacher and Father and make them do it.

You don't believe me?

Here. A token for my promise.

If I don't keep my promise later, come find me with this.

If things go wrong, I have to bring this to you...

and I also have to tell you to throw up your worm.

I'll be busy.

Can't you be serious?

You should tell the worm to throw me up, not the other way around.

Is that right?

I'm too nervous to leave it to you.

About Yeon Hee...

My brother and Yeon Hee used to like each other.

If those three in Dodang didn't steal away the land in our town...

Yeon Hee and my brother wouldn't have left our hometown.

Something must've happened.

Then they wouldn't have difficult lives like they do now.

It's the same for me.

A lot has happened, but all of it because of land.

Then when I heard the land distribution reform might actually happen...

Yeon Hee wanted to go back to our hometown for the first time.

My brother... was very happy when he heard it.

That's what I am disappointed about.

I think I can be happy only when Yeon Hee and my brother are happy together.

I don't think that's the case.

No one...

No one can carry someone else's life.

Even between a parent and child, between brothers and sisters.

Is that so?

Is that right?

But that's what I want to do.

That's how I am.

Did you say, "Beauty of being a strategist"?

Yes, this is the beauty of being a strategist. You already know very well.

The feeling of putting the powerful in your palm and controlling them.

This is the beauty of it, isn't it?

Why are you laughing? You must feel the same way.

- Me? - Yes!

You have a firm grasp of General Yi, the hero of Goryeo, in your hand.

People wouldn't think that way... subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

but I know.

What?

Are you saying that you have Jo Min Soo in your palm?

Yes. Isn't that so?

- You are truly a novice strategist. - Why is that?

Regardless of the faction or the authority

even if it's the country, a strategist can read the trend and predict its move.

Sometimes he can control it.

But?

But it doesn't work on people.

It's more difficult to read a human being than a country.

What did you say?

What am I doing to General Yi Seong Gye?

I wasn't able to read General Yi Seong Gye several times.

It's not just General Yi.

When Hong In Bang falsely accused Jo Ban of treason

I wasn't able to read his mind, so I failed.

I also saw a young boy's hasty move shake up the foundation of a grand plan.

Once in a while, there is such a mobster.

No. Everyone is a mobster, to be honest.

The only difference is whether it manifests itself or not.

What is it that you want to say?

A strategist must be humble when it comes to people.

Did you say that Jo Min Soo is in your palm?

What you understand is only Jo Min Soo's interest and position.

"If you pretend to summon your soldiers, General Yi will compromise with you."

"Then you should reconcile with him for now."

That's how I advised General Jo Min Soo.

Then what happened? Jo Min Soo did exactly what I told him to do.

If he is not in my palm, then what is it?

Plus, Jo Min Soo took it a step further and volunteered to host a party.

You didn't ask him to hold a party?

Of course I wouldn't!

- He is inviting us to Dohwa Mansion. - Having a party?

Jo Min Soo must have felt rushed.

He can't stand things of that nature.

If he would just pretend to summon the soldiers

General Yi would come for reconciliation, since he's afraid of public opinion.

Did he need to host a party and show him what was on his mind?

I wouldn't have done it!

Have you heard of cinnamon wine?

I have heard of it, but I haven't had the occasion to taste it yet.

My my... I will have you taste it then. Please wait.

We are ready.

Put in the rest of it and serve the wine.

Yes, my lord.

Choon Wol, that girl is the best!

I can almost see her...

What are you talking about? Myeong Wol is better than Choon Wol!

I've never seen a woman prettier than Myeong Wol.

When she whispers in my ears...

How is that?

- Let me pour you a drink! - Let's get drunk tonight!

You can hold your drink! It's a great day, so let's drink!

He had a straw hat on... so I didn't get to see his face.

Maybe I let go of my mind when I saw him...

I remembered the buckwheat field where the horrible thing happened.

I'm sorry.

No, it's fine.

Yeon...

Slap the butt...

He must be the culprit of the horrible thing done to Yeon Hee.

The party was wholly Jo Min Soo's idea?

Yes. Since Teacher Lee Saek turned his back on him, he is filled with fear.

I'm telling this only to you.

General Jo Min Soo said he'd turn in over 1000 gyeol

of his land that was taken illegally.

How can he manage the state affairs when he gets scared so easily?

- He'll volunteer to give up the land? - That's what I said!

I have accomplished all of this.

Damn it.

What is wrong?

If it was so easy to give up over 1000 gyeol of land...

why was he going to mobilize soldiers?

Because I told him to compromise with General Yi Seong Gye...

I will ask you one question.

Was it your idea to meet with me tonight?

Or did Jo Min Soo ask you to do this?

Since you studied with Jung Do Jeon...

please put in a good word for me while I host the party.

Jo Min Soo must've told you to meet with me tonight. Isn't that right?

What... are you thinking?

If you came to see me tonight at the request of Jo Min Soo

you were used by Jo Min Soo.

General.

Ha Ryoon is meeting with Sambong right now. I put a tail on them.

Sambong...

I cannot let that wicked man stay alive.

I was used?

At the second table from your left...

The one wearing a dark robe keeps looking over this way

and has met my eyes three times.

Did you bring him, by any chance? Probably not.

It's probably...

My whole body is aching.

Damn it.

If Jo Min Soo trusted you

he wouldn't have used you this way.

This happened because you only sold strategy to him without gaining trust.

Jo Min Soo, how could he possibly...

Tell me in detail what Jo Min Soo said.

He told me to meet with you and convince you while he was hosting the party.

That's when I also heard about giving up the land.

He used you to lead me out of General Yi's army base.

Those soldiers followed you, and they're probably aiming for me now.

- Why do you think that is? - Well, it is...

If you would only pretend to have your soldiers ready...

There is no pretense in my life.

If I do, I will really do it.

Is Jo Min Soo really...

A party at Dohwa Mansion...

What is Jo Min Soo planning to do?

It finally becomes clear.

I think your guess is correct.

Here! Where is the outhouse here?

Brother, go all the way back over there.

I'm in a hurry too, so come back soon!

What? Just tell me!

Take Bang Ji and return to the base now.

What? Why?

General Nam Eun told us earlier...

that the party tonight is to reconcile for a better future

so we should absolutely not drink and get into a fight.

He did. So what?

Are you going to fight someone?

No, it's not that...

Bang Ji looks serious. If things go wrong, there will be no reconciliation!

What are you talking about? What about Bang Ji?

This is urgent! I don't have time to explain it to you.

He won't listen to me. So please tell him something urgent came up and take him!

This is my earnest wish!

All right.

You have to tell me later what this is about.

Yes, Boss. Please hurry.

My dear.

What brings you here?

Teacher Sambong is here.

Are Bang Gwa and Nam Eun here?

They went to our family house in Gaegyeong. Why are you looking for them?

I believe Jo Min Soo has another plan.

General Yi Seong Gye is in danger.

We have to hurry to Dohwa Mansion with soldiers!

What do you mean by that?

I don't think I can taste wine if I drank with them.

I still wonder if it's right to reconcile with them.

I told you that you should never say such a thing.

Do you think General Yi felt better than you

as he headed to the party tonight?

We're in trouble! It looks like things will go down at Dohwa Mansion.

Trouble?

It seems that General Jo Min Soo plotted to harm Father.

You have to mobilize the soldiers now!

Bang Ji.

We should get up now. It seems that something happened at the base.

Hurry up.

Where are you going? Sit down!

Here...

Here comes sweet and soft cinnamon wine!

Now, have a glass each...

This is a rare one, so you should at least taste it.

This is a cinnamon wine the royal court of the Song Dynasty enjoyed.

Brother, I've only heard about this, but this is the first time I get to taste it.

That cinnamon wine is nice, but continue with your story!

Where was I?

Right, I beat up everyone in Yiseo County!

After that, I looked around.

"Where did she go? Where did she go?"

Who?

There was a girl I had picked in my mind.

She was running away to the buckwheat field...

but I ran this way, that way to catch her...

Then I finally caught her!

Great!

She was crying and shaking when I caught her...

Then I put her on the buckwheat field...

Stop!

Son of a bitch!

Here!

For the camaraderie of us who withdrew the soldiers together

and for a peaceful future of Goryeo...

Let's raise the glass!

- Yes. - Yes!

What's with the armor?

This is a trap!

Everyone, start!

What's this sound?

You should not lose your sword!

Brother, run!

Jo Min Soo, that son of a bitch!

Don't move!

Step away from my father!

I'm going to slit his throat!

Jo Min Soo! You were going to kill me?

Weren't you planning to kill me anyway?

I'm different from Choi Young.

I won't sit here and wait to be defeated by you like Choi Young!

He's the one! Kill him!

Don't get scared!

He's just big, he's no big deal!

Servants who were preparing Jo Min Soo's party were wearing armor.

Could... Jo Min Soo...

I will go check.

- Hurry up! - Everyone!

We don't have time. Move fast!

Hurry up!

We're ready.

What's going on?

I came to deliver his wish.

His wish means...

Lee Bang Ji is holding a sword!

- He took a sword! - He hurt his leg!

Don't be afraid! Get him!

Moo Hyool!

Moo Hyool! Rescue the General!

Yes!

Let's get through this... and return home.

Yi Seong Gye, you will die in Dohwa Mansion.

- Kill Yi Seong Gye! - Then...

his head will be gone too!

Bang Won!

Don't move! I will slit his throat right away!

You have to get out of here now!

- Help your uncle! - Yes.

Don't move!

Warrior Moo Hyool!

Let's make it out alive!

We have to get in! Open the path!

Kill them all!

Bang Woo!

Brother!

Let's get out of here! Now!

- Father! - Father!

Yi Seong Gye!

You will never get out of Dohwa Mansion!

If you want to save yourselves...

drop your weapons!

Jo Min Soo! You were planning to kill us all anyway!

Don't be distracted!

Yes, let's attack together!

Some may die, but what can we do?

I will make sure to slit the throat

of that son of a bitch Jo Min Soo before I die.

Not yet. Wait.

What are we waiting for?

After I count to three...

the archers will shoot all at once!

One!

Jo Min Soo, it was my mistake to trust you even for a moment.

Two!

Father!

Are you all right?

- Bang Gwa! - Brother!

Bang Gwa!

Jo Min Soo and his people, drop your weapons!

Arrest every one of them!

If anyone resists, kill him immediately!

- He made the choice. - What choice did he make?

Is it Yi Seong Gye?

Then is it Jo Min Soo after all?

He will abandon both of them...

and see where the luck lies.

Pyung is sent to Dohwa Mansion, so we will see the result.

Ji Ran, hang in there.

Of course I will.

This is no big deal.

Brother...

I took more swords in the Battle of Hwangsan than this time.

You should go get treated, too.

Hey!

He's not here.

Ddang Sae!

Run! Run!

Ddang Sae! Ddang Sae!

It's him.

Brother...

Stay quiet.

If you don't scream, I won't kill you.

Ddang Sae! Ddang Sae!

Yeon Hee.

Yeon Hee! You have to kill him!

Move! Move!

Move!

Remember?

The buckwheat field...

Look at me! Do you remember?

This world is hell for the weak.

Go to hell.

Die!

Are you all right?

It's over.

I'm sorry.

Yeon Hee...

I don't know how long it's been since I slept like last night.

Who is the one that jumped out among the corpses?

I don't know either.

Assassination plot? It's not me!

- There was some organization. - Organization?

- They have a special symbol. - A symbol?

Just deliver this.

Was it a trap as I expected?

It's the most fatal counterattack.

What will really happen?
