[Episode 28]

Yeon Yang!

Mother!

That's her! Right?

Mother...

Mother was here.

It really was Yeon Yang!

Gil Seon Mi is not here either.

This temple serves King Taejo's final wish

so it is for court servants who are deeply ill or have retired.

Why would you bring soldiers in to this place?

It is an important matter

which relates to the deaths of government officials.

Then please proceed without too much fuss.

- Don't leave any corner unturned! - Yes, sir!

- Search! - Yes, sir!

You, this way!

- There is no one here! - No one here either!

No one here!

Search!

There is no one here!

- No one here! - No one here!

We have not found anything out of the ordinary.

I couldn't have seen it wrong.

We couldn't have both seen it wrong.

- It was definitely Yeon Yang. - Then how...

How could she disappear in the blink of an eye?

I looked for her for over a decade...

How could she, right in front of my eyes...

We captured one of Gil Seon Mi's men alive.

They should be interrogating him.

Let's hope for the best from him.

If you wish to confess, nod your head.

Would you prefer we torture you and make you nod?

Look at these pleas!

All of them request to postpone the measurement of the farmland!

Yanggwang Province, Jeolla Province, Gyeongsang Province...

They came from everywhere!

His Majesty also ordered us to seriously discuss it again!

We should not stop the measurement!

Three officials have died!

We are investigating that.

But if we stop the measurement here

we will be granting the wish of those who killed the officials!

The government of a country cannot make such moves!

Yes! The measurement of farmland

has already been determined by royal order.

We cannot stop it at our own whim

and we shouldn't stop it anyway!

Yes, he is right a hundred times over!

It has been delayed long enough!

Even then! Only after we find the ones who killed the officials

should we proceed again. That is the right order!

He's right! We need to find the reason first!

Yes, he is right!

How could you not even say a word?

Is it fine for you if the plan gets wrecked?

The end of that reform...

I know where the end of that reform is headed...

so how can I support you with all of my heart?

Brother! I am not pushing for the reform in order to accomplish that.

On the way to reform, that's where I happened to be headed.

Brother! If we miss this opportunity, there will be even more opposition.

I am making an effort, I am trying...

Do you know who sent you the letter and led you to my cave?

They are the ones who murdered the officials.

You mean you know who they are?

Who are they?

They are Moomyung.

Moomyung?

Moomyung?

Are you referring to the ones that only existed in rumors

during the reign of King Gongmin?

It's not just rumors. They really exist.

It can't be.

According to Hojung, Lee In Gyeom also searched for their identity.

Whether they are Moomyung or not

we are being played by some power that is trying to stop us from the land reform.

"Difficulties come in layers." Three troubles came all together.

The difficulty of the investigation is the first one.

The stranded land reform is the second one.

And the third one is that Poeun happened to find out about us at this time.

No, actually it is one problem.

Moomyung. It is Moomyung!

Did you find out about the temple?

There were no court servants from the reign of King Gongmin.

And there was no one who would know about Yeon Yang.

But... Mother was in that temple.

She was helping an old lady who was in difficulty.

She couldn't have disappeared that quickly.

There must be a secret path, like in Dohwa Mansion

or the monks must have helped them.

If we interrogate the head monk, wouldn't we get the answer?

You can't just act on it.

It is a case in which three innocent officials died!

- Why can't we do this? - Bang Ji.

Looking for your mother and finding out about Moomyung are not different.

But keep in mind that our big plan depends on this.

I understand how you feel. So if it's tough for you to keep level-headed

why don't you leave it to us to look for your mother?

Bang Ji.

What's wrong?

Boon Yi.

Mother...

She is alive.

- Who said that? - No one said it.

I saw her.

At Geumwol Temple, where I chased Gil Seon Mi...

Mother was there.

- You saw Mom? - Boon Yi...

Now we can look for Mom, and even see her.

A member of Moomyung that kidnapped Mother

is being interrogated in the State Tribunal.

But it's a roaming group without a base.

He'd only know his immediate boss.

But something will come of it.

I can find her.

I will never give up again.

- I'm scared. - You don't need to be scared.

Boon Yi, I'm not the person I was in the past.

Trust me, Boon Yi.

I will break up the group called Moomyung and rescue our mother.

Bang Ji, maybe...

you won't have to rescue her.

What do you mean?

What do you mean, Boon Yi?

Mom...

Mom wasn't kidnapped.

I said Mom wasn't kidnapped.

That night...

That night when Mom disappeared, I saw it.

You were sleeping, but I saw it.

What did you see?

You said you didn't know anything.

Because I thought it was only a dream for a long time.

Because I believed it was a dream!

Chomuja Mujin.

The one with no name...

will not disappear.

Is this how you've been living?

I've never seen you before.

Yes, I belong to Chunmyung Unit.

Then the next day, I heard it.

Have you made up your mind?

Then Mom answered him like this.

I will sever my ties with the children.

The morning came...

and I looked for Mom as I was crying...

but Mom was gone.

That's when you told me...

that Mom was taken away.

I...

I must have wanted to believe you.

Mom didn't abandon us...

She was taken away...

I must have wished for it.

That's why... I must have wanted to believe you.

But as I got older

my memory from that time became clearer.

- Mom definitely-- - You must be mistaken.

You were only eight years old then.

That's why... when we came to Gaegyeong to look for Mom...

you wanted to stop looking for her and go back home.

No, Boon Yi...

You're upset that Mom's not around

so you created that memory.

No, Bang Ji.

My memory is too clear for that.

So I'm really scared.

I have to find her.

If you are right...

it's more of a reason I need to find her.

Why she did it...

I'll find Mom and ask her.

- Let's go. - Where?

Geumwol Temple.

That's where the clue to find your mother is, after all.

Let's go.

If we walk all night, we'll get there by tomorrow morning.

I didn't mean to, but I happened to hear what you told your brother.

You don't show it, but it must've been very tough for you at such a young age.

And you must've suffered a lot trying not to show it.

You must have a lot of resentment.

But your mom must have had a reason.

That's how moms are.

Otherwise she couldn't have done that.

My goodness...

All right, all right...

To be honest, I can't remember her face very well.

It was such a long time ago.

Boon Yi says she's scared to look for Mother.

Why?

She believes that Mother wasn't kidnapped.

She seems to have left on her own.

She saw her in her sleep.

That is fitting for Boon Yi.

"Mom left on her own. Let's do our best in our lives."

She must have thought that way

as she watched you suffer because of your mother.

She must have thought to herself to take care of you

and make the best out of her life.

To me, memory of your mother is faint.

But she would never abandon you.

I remember that clearly.

Don't push him too much. Take time to explain.

Explain the importance of this job, soldiers of the Taxation Office.

I will explain each point in detail

but if they still don't follow me

I will show them a list of corruption I have compiled against them.

What happened here?

Where did the officials of the Taxation Office go?

Not a single person showed up.

How can this be? I will teach them a lesson!

We're in big trouble!

Woojae will submit a plea to impeach us for land corruption!

Will he really...

Let's hurry to Dodang.

Why do you look at me that way?

You must be scared of impeachment.

Look, Inspector General!

If you punish even petty land corruptions

eight out of ten officials in Dodang won't be safe!

Yes, so I will only impeach all of you here, not 80 percent of them.

What? What did you say?

How can it be so unfair?

Yes, I will request for impeachment unfairly!

If it upsets you that much...

don't stir up other officials, and come back to Dodang right away!

I did threaten them, but I don't know how they will respond.

If Poeun would step up, the opinions of young officials and the Sadaebu

would change right away.

So why does Poeun continue to keep his silence?

[King Woo's House, Yeoju]

What on earth is this?

Sire, please wait.

We are doing our best to respect your wish to serve you in Gaegyeong again.

Yes, sire.

We will do our best for your return to the palace.

The only problem is Yi Seong Gye.

How could he mistreat the previous king like this?

If Yi Seong Gye wasn't around...

you would be at peace, sire.

If he wasn't around?

Did you just say, "If Yi Seong Gye wasn't around"?

Yes, sire.

Yes, I also truly wish that he wasn't around.

Sire.

What is it now?

I have something to tell you in private.

I hope to understand the royal wish, and show my loyalty with my life.

What do you mean?

Give a gift to Yi Seong Gye.

Why do you tell me suddenly to give him a gift?

If you would allow me, I will prepare everything.

What kind of gift?

Come in.

Give him as a gift.

What is your name?

I have no name to speak of.

I used to live in Goksan... from the Cheok family.

The Cheok family of Goksan?

I can figure out which family you come from just by hearing that.

Come here!

Bring in some wine.

I will pour him a glass myself.

Are you aware of it?

Do you know even a quarter of my pain?

I have also dreamed of this reform my whole life.

But I, Poeun Jung Mong Joo, am hesitant when it's right in front of me.

Do you know how I must feel?

No matter how much I think about it, this is treason.

Then why do you not report us?

Go to the State Tribunal.

No, go to the Queen Dowager, the noble class, Teacher Lee Saek

and tell him everything you know. That's what you can do.

I can't. I will never be able to do it.

If I did it, and if you and your people were ousted

this country would lose an opportunity for revival

that only comes every thousand years

and fall into hell again!

Brother, come with us.

Why do you insist on going together?

Is it because you are nervous since I know the plan but wouldn't join you?

Then before I make a report, you can proceed with your plan.

I can't do it either!

If we lose you, our plan will be shaken from the root.

It could be a chaotic country from the beginning.

Brother...

no matter what happens...

I will convince you in the end.

Even if it takes a long time

I will continue discussing it with you.

But we don't have much time on this land policy reform.

If we lose this chance now, it may take another hundred years!

Can you promise me just one thing?

If... I won't be convinced by you after all

you will never change the country of Goryeo.

Can you make that promise?

I don't know how long we should discuss the same item.

But I still think

until we catch the murderer and it becomes safe to work again

it would be better to postpone the measurement.

Postpone it? How can we postpone it?

If you are worried about safety, send guards with them!

For those young officers who were murdered

they faced tragedy when their names were put on the list, even before they left.

Then does the government have to surrender to those traitors' threats?

We do not mean to surrender.

It is only logical to postpone it until we capture the murderer.

How long will you keep saying the same thing?

Even if you insist, no one is willing to do the job!

It comes down to Poeun.

If Poeun steps up, all of the young officials will follow him.

Why...

Let me ask you a question, Minister.

Yes.

Can you promise me?

If I won't be convinced by you after all

"I will never change the country of Goryeo."

Can you make that promise?

Will you keep convincing me until the day I die?

Will I be able to convince Poeun in the end?

Minister! I asked if you could promise me.

Can you promise me?

Yes, I promise you.

Measurement of the farmland will be executed.

What do you mean by that?

Who would step up to do the job?

Park Chan Hyun, Yoo Moon Sang

Lee Do, Park Jin Gi.

They have volunteered to do the job.

Measurement of the farmland will be carried out without a break.

But this time, we will put the utmost care

in the safety of the officers doing the job.

Also, for Inspector General and Minister Jung

who are leading the land policy reform

our Dodang must support them with our power and our hearts.

Thank you, Poeun.

I only trusted Sambong's promise.

I will keep the promise.

We have to accelerate the reform efforts without looking back now.

Of course. Please help us, Poeun.

Reform must be carried out with pride in broad daylight, not in the shadows.

And the reform should be carried out

for the public good, not for personal benefit.

You speak the obvious. Do you have any ideas?

First, come out of that cave.

The heart of the reform doesn't have to be such a dark place.

Yes, I will consider it.

What do you think of Dohwa Mansion?

But Dohwa Mansion used to be occupied by those who succeeded through misdeeds.

If we proceed only with the public good in mind without any personal greed

using Dohwa Mansion will be a symbol of changing this corrupted country.

Are you so worried about the word 'New Joseon' written in the cave?

A symbol...

What do you think, Sambong?

Yes, I will.

I will do that, Brother.

Pardon? A promise?

A promise? And?

What did Sambong say?

He became tense and gazed on him... then he said he would promise.

Do you know what it is?

Use your guessing powers. What is it?

I'm not sure...

but it looks like Poeun has something on Sambong. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Pardon? How could you make such a promise?

I did.

Yes, since the situation is urgent and timing is important

I believe you managed it well.

"Managed it well"? I truly meant what I said.

If you can't convince him in the end?

I will convince him.

I said I would convince Poeun until death, so I will.

How could this big plan be swayed based on one person's heart?

It's not just one person's heart.

The Sadaebu, scholars, students who follow Poeun

will become pillars and cornerstones of the country we create.

- It is about gaining their hearts. - But--

While I was creating this plan and organizing this group in my exile

Poeun taught his pupils and raised countless talents.

If all of them turn their backs on us, who will manage this country? How?

We can raise them again. People continue to be born.

How long does it take to build a fortress in the border area?

I presume three to four months.

Yes, a fortress takes three, four months.

And it takes a year to harvest grains.

The farmland in the whole country will be measured in three years.

Building a palace like Manwoldae can be done in five years.

And?

Raising talent takes decades!

Moreover, if the scholarly tie is cut, we may lose over a hundred years!

What is the use of building a new country?

How could we accomplish our big plan after giving up a hundred years?

What if Poeun possesses other motives?

[Prince Jungchang, Wang Yo's House]

Come out here!

Hello, sir.

- Is His Highness in? - Yes, please come in.

Your Highness, do you mean it?

Yes. Let's get married.

Although you won't be my first wife, I will love you with all my heart.

Where I was born and how I grew up... You don't know anything about me.

So why... Why would you--

Nonsense. Why is that important?

Your Highness...

- When I was young-- - That's enough.

In this turbulent time, why is that an issue?

I know your loyalty.

I have heard your words and I know your heart.

What more do I need?

Your Highness.

Sir, Lord Poeun is here.

You will have a second wife?

Congratulations!

I am embarrassed. I am greedy and don't know my place, so it has come to this.

How can you say you're greedy?

I heard that no one is starving within a good distance from this house.

Since you care so much about the people, their hearts also lean toward you.

The reason my merchant group is doing well is because of the people.

So I shared a little bit of it with them.

You are too kind.

Someone who cares so much about the people should participate in politics.

Don't speak of the trouble! Me, in politics?

I have long forgotten that I am of royal blood.

I can't even remember when I entered Manwoldae for the last time.

What if this generation needs you?

Lord Poeun, how could such a sage man like you understand me?

This is all I am capable of.

I want to live my life as a husband of a woman.

Poeun. It is so that I won't lose Poeun.

Poeun is the one who will protect my Confucian belief to the end

in this path of revolution.

And he is the one who will carry the justification of this revolution.

I will convince him.

I said I would convince Poeun until death, so I will.

A gift?

Yes, I heard the previous king sent a gift.

We have to be ready by two o'clock on the fifth day.

Really? He is a king, although he was forced out.

Why did you do it this way?

Lord Poeun entered Prince Jungchang's house.

- Prince Jungchang? - Yes.

Prince Jungchang was the strongest candidate

to inherit the throne until recently.

It was Poeun.

We get to use Dohwa Mansion...

I am astonished how things have changed.

As you said, Dohwa Mansion will be reborn as a symbol of reform now.

It will. We have to make it happen.

Of course. So it is very important for you

to execute the farmland measurement.

Yes, sir.

Sir!

What is it?

He opened his mouth. He seems to have changed his mind.

There is really nothing special.

Actually, it is almost strange that there is

a temple in Goryeo without any problem.

I have kept my eye on it...

but there was nothing strange about it.

All three people couldn't have disappeared together

without the help from the temple.

Ddang Sae, let's go back now.

I will stay.

Until only a few days ago, Mother was here.

Sure.

If I say anything, I will die.

I said we will protect you.

You won't be able to protect me.

If you don't confess anything here

you will have no choice but to die in pain.

It may be so.

But I will lay my hope in something else.

Hope, you say?

If I endure this without saying anything

I will surely be saved.

Are you saying that you'll escape from the State Tribunal?

If they wish, I will be able to leave.

Lee Bang Ji.

Gil Seon Mi.

Look ahead and keep walking.

If you look back, I will disappear.

You got it wrong.

This place has nothing to do with it.

Why were you here in a place that has nothing to do with it?

- I wasn't here. I chased you. - Why did you chase me?

Because I have a message to deliver.

I already warned you not to look for your mother. If you did, you'd be dead.

If someone is capable of killing me, let it happen.

Sure, the situation has changed a little.

So I decided to give you a chance.

I believe you want to meet your mother?

Where is my mother?

Come to Yeoamjung by two o'clock on the fifth day.

You will be able to meet your mother there.

But there are conditions.

First, you have to come alone.

Second, you shouldn't tell anyone about this.

If you don't follow the rules, you will never be able to see her.

If I draw my sword and beat you here

and torture you until you say the truth...

Well...

I can't be sure that I can do that to you

but I bet that you can't be sure of doing that to me either.

I did what I was supposed to do...

but do I have to do this?

[Yooksan] I guess you don't like this much.

Is it really their wish?

You know the order, "Break it before it blooms."

"Break it before it blooms"...

That's right. It is to be broken before its flower blooms.

What if it fails?

Fails?

It will be successful in some way.

It will enter the next phase.

Let's go.

Come to Yeoamjung by two o'clock on the fifth day.

You will be able to meet your mother there.

I'm scared.

Teacher Poeun met with Prince Jungchang.

What?

Teacher Poeun definitely has other plans.

Are you following Poeun?

I cannot trust him completely like you do!

It's not important whether you trust him or not!

I trust him and Poeun trusts me!

Leave the matter of Poeun to me.

Don't even think about him!

Do you understand?

Are you not going to answer me?

Yes.

We got him to live when he tried to take his own life...

- Is it about the member of Moomyung? - Yes.

It looks like he won't speak anymore.

Do you have any ideas?

If there is no other way, why don't you try

the method used on Yaksan last time?

- Yaksan? - Yes, let him escape.

- Let him escape? - We should try it.

Wait, what will we do?

We can't keep staring at him.

I don't know if it will work, but we will save time if it doesn't work.

And it will be better to think of the next idea.

Yes, you should take the lead. Don't worry about useless things!

Do you understand?

Boon Yi will be coming, so utilize her contact group.

Yes.

Carry it out tonight and report the result in Dohwa Mansion.

Yes, I understand.

- Have you looked for me? - Follow Bang Won's lead.

Yes.

What should we do?

The plan is simple.

Is it clear?

Since everyone's placed, they should do the best job they can.

You are not coming?

I have some other work to do.

Then...

Excuse me.

Yes, Warrior.

You are strange.

Why are you so down?

Moomyung or whatever, if the plan is successful

you will get to see your mother that you parted over a decade ago.

You're not happy?

I think I would be.

I don't know my parents.

To be honest, I remembered until I was about 10 years old.

It became faint and then disappeared.

When did they pass away?

When I was about nine years old?

I don't really remember.

Only that my grandmother was crying...

What happened to their bodies, and how they died...

I don't know anything. I only know that they died.

So I think about how nice it would be to see them in my dream.

It would be nice... if you could meet your mother in your dream.

I will make a wish for you.

You must be so happy. It's not a dream, it's reality.

You will be able to see your mother that you thought was dead.

It must be nice.

What?

Since I won't get to see my mother

you feel bad for seeing your mother?

- Warrior. - Yes?

Did you hear anything from your grandmother?

No! What could I hear from her?

I don't even really talk to Grandmother these days.

Thank you so much.

You're trying to console me.

You are a kind person.

It's really not that...

But I really mean it when I tell you that I'm envious. I really mean it.

Now you have hope that you can see your mother again.

Hope!

So what's with this? Would you have left this plan to someone else in other times?

You'd take the lead and give orders.

I feel bad for seeing you so down.

You should rest. I will do a great job of carrying out the plan.

I'm leaving.

By the way...

Why are you scared of hope?

I'll really get going.

You must have a lot of resentment.

Your mom must have had a reason.

That's how moms are.

Otherwise, she couldn't have done that.

If you are right...

all the more reason to find her.

Why she did it... I will find Mother and ask her.

By the way, why are you scared of hope?

The plan is simple.

You said that he believes his organization would rescue him.

[It is the order. Move.]

Climb over the wall! Climb over the wall!

Climb over the wall! Yes, that's right!

That's right!

Now!

Escape! Chase him!

You have to chase him. But you shouldn't catch him.

Herd him to the intersection of Jungseung-dong.

Catch him! Catch him!

When he finds the wagon, he'll try to hide first.

Moo Hyool, get him in the wagon right away.

Yes.

Then have a few fast soldiers follow the wagon in disguise.

Let's try it.

Boon Yi, place your contacts in the area and have them be prepared just in case.

Yes.

- Please let me hide. - Get in in the back.

Swords?

Run!

You, that way. We'll go this way.

Who on earth was he?

What about that Moomyung guy?

He seemed to have escaped while we were fighting.

He disappeared!

Everyone's looking for him, but...

- What happened? - The organization abandoned me.

The organization?

Then this man is...

They sent an assassin... to kill me.

I didn't say anything.

I kept my promise.

Look. Look!

Go tell the State Tribunal.

"Break it before it blooms."

Break it before it blooms?

Two o'clock on the fifth day...

You heard something you shouldn't have.

Chomuja Mujin.

The one with no name will not disappear.

But it's a group with no base. He'd only know his immediate boss.

"Chomuja... Mujin."

[The one who didn't exist from the beginning will exist forever.]

The one with no name will not disappear.

"Break it before it blooms." Two o'clock on the fifth day?

You won't be here when the gift comes in. What could this be?

Poeun should have already gone to Prince Jungchang.

I saw Baek Geun Soo going into Prince Jungchang's house.

Assassination!

It is the only way for us to survive. We have to run away.

What's your name? Your name!
