3
00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:16,240
How dare you barge in here?!
4
00:00:16,250 --> 00:00:17,690
What's the meaning of this?
5
00:00:18,260 --> 00:00:21,550
What despicable act is this, my Queen?
6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,230
What did you say?
7
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:24,510
Leave the room at once!
8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,130
Now!
9
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:34,820
Stop!
10
00:00:34,830 --> 00:00:37,100
How dare you?!
11
00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:39,950
I said stop!
12
00:00:42,190 --> 00:00:44,380
My Queen!
13
00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:48,960
What have you done?
14
00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:56,660
How dare you strike the Queen?!
15
00:00:56,670 --> 00:00:58,810
How dare you?!
16
00:00:59,450 --> 00:01:02,580
Get a hold of yourself, Your Highness.
17
00:01:02,870 --> 00:01:05,880
Why are you being so fickle?
18
00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:11,430
What? What did you say?
19
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,520
How dare you?!
20
00:01:23,090 --> 00:01:24,420
Your Highness!
21
00:01:25,050 --> 00:01:26,420
Your Highness!
22
00:01:27,150 --> 00:01:29,290
How dare you?!
23
00:01:29,630 --> 00:01:32,360
How dare you?!
24
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,330
Your Highness!
25
00:01:34,340 --> 00:01:36,290
Your Highness, what's wrong?
26
00:01:38,490 --> 00:01:39,870
Your Highness!
27
00:01:42,650 --> 00:01:43,940
Your Highness!
28
00:01:44,940 --> 00:01:46,100
Your Highness!
29
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,690
Your Highness!
30
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:52,110
Your Highness!
31
00:01:53,860 --> 00:01:55,840
Your Highness!
32
00:01:55,850 --> 00:01:59,530
Your Highness!
33
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:05,130
Your Highness!
34
00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:09,930
Your Highness!
35
00:02:12,250 --> 00:02:15,930
No, Your Highness!
36
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:19,790
You can't die like this!
37
00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:24,040
Open your eyes!
38
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:28,240
What is to become of the country?
39
00:02:28,250 --> 00:02:31,150
What is to become of me?
40
00:02:32,180 --> 00:02:34,600
Get up, Your Highness.
41
00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:39,430
Open your eyes!
42
00:02:44,230 --> 00:02:48,260
Get up!
43
00:02:48,970 --> 00:02:53,810
Get up and punish the evil beasts!
44
00:02:54,530 --> 00:02:58,210
You can't die like this!
45
00:02:58,770 --> 00:03:03,390
My King!
46
00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:08,660
Your Highness...
47
00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:13,840
Your Highness...
48
00:03:14,370 --> 00:03:16,690
Your Highness...
49
00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:17,820
My Lady.
50
00:03:20,180 --> 00:03:21,880
What happened?
51
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:25,720
I think he is dead.
52
00:03:24,220 --> 00:03:26,010
{\a6}[Gang Jo]
53
00:03:27,750 --> 00:03:28,970
What?
54
00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:36,950
Get your filthy hands off of him!
55
00:03:45,380 --> 00:03:49,760
He killed him.
56
00:03:51,550 --> 00:03:54,600
He killed the King.
57
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,950
{\a6}[Queen Munwha]
58
00:03:56,590 --> 00:03:58,210
No, my Lady.
59
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,870
That's not true.
60
00:04:00,780 --> 00:04:02,010
You bastard!
61
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:09,410
How dare you lie when I witnessed everything?
62
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,350
I pushed him, but that is all.
63
00:04:18,190 --> 00:04:22,770
The Queen was trying to get his signature on a forged decree,
64
00:04:23,570 --> 00:04:25,670
and I was just trying to stop him.
65
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:28,470
A forged decree?
66
00:04:29,050 --> 00:04:35,570
It's a decree rescinding his previous order
and giving the throne to Prince Daeryang.
67
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,240
The Queen fabricated this document and changed the King's order.
68
00:04:43,870 --> 00:04:45,230
You!
69
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,300
That is not a forged document.
70
00:04:49,020 --> 00:04:52,930
It corrects the mistake the King made before he found out that
71
00:04:53,420 --> 00:04:56,330
Prince Daeryang was alive!
72
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,760
Lower your voice and calm down.
73
00:05:00,580 --> 00:05:01,630
Why?
74
00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:04,450
Why are you trying to shut me up?
75
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,210
Now I see it.
76
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,250
Lady Sungdeok, you are behind this!
77
00:05:12,590 --> 00:05:18,650
You ordered him to kill the King to steal the throne.
78
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:22,780
You heinous beasts!
79
00:05:22,790 --> 00:05:27,130
Do you think you can get away with this high treason?
80
00:05:27,410 --> 00:05:29,450
Be quiet.
81
00:05:29,460 --> 00:05:31,230
Do you have a death wish?
82
00:05:32,170 --> 00:05:33,540
What?
83
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:37,420
Do you want to talk about high treason?
84
00:05:39,290 --> 00:05:46,410
Who attacked Myeongbok Palace and
tried to have the Royal Successor killed?
85
00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:47,860
And as if that weren't enough,
86
00:05:48,650 --> 00:05:51,670
you fabricate a royal decree and
attempt to change the King's order?
87
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:54,120
Do you expect to live after this?
88
00:05:55,380 --> 00:06:01,100
Prince Gaeryeong, I had nothing to do
with the raid on Myeongbok Palace.
89
00:06:01,110 --> 00:06:05,770
Take a good look at your mother.
90
00:06:06,270 --> 00:06:12,100
She killed the King and now she's threatening me.
91
00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:19,250
It is your mother who ordered the King killed!
92
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,960
I guess the reality has still not sunk in yet,
but wake up.
93
00:06:32,340 --> 00:06:36,410
{\a6}[Lady Sungdeok Hwangbo Su]
94
00:06:36,420 --> 00:06:38,490
I'm the one holding the sword.
95
00:06:38,930 --> 00:06:45,440
And I did not kill my brother,
but I can certainly kill you.
96
00:06:48,670 --> 00:06:53,160
Drillmaster Gang, lock her up in her chambers.
97
00:06:53,170 --> 00:06:56,360
And if she continues to utter these lies,
98
00:06:56,370 --> 00:06:57,650
you have my permission to kill her.
99
00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:03,600
Yes. my Lady.
100
00:07:06,630 --> 00:07:09,860
No, Mother!
101
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,030
I want you to go to your room.
102
00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:17,340
- Mother!
- I said go to your room!
103
00:07:54,660 --> 00:07:56,010
Your Highness...
104
00:07:59,380 --> 00:08:02,600
Your Highness...
105
00:08:02,610 --> 00:08:05,030
Your Highness...
106
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,990
Your Highness...
107
00:08:11,390 --> 00:08:14,530
Your Highness...
108
00:08:14,820 --> 00:08:16,760
Your Highness...
109
00:08:11,070 --> 00:08:13,640
{\a6}[Prince Gaeryeong Wang Song]
110
00:08:47,070 --> 00:08:50,140
{\a6}[Seongjong (The 6th King of Goryeo)]
111
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:02,130
Brother, look at you.
112
00:09:04,570 --> 00:09:10,240
Everything is over now, but look at you...
113
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,950
I wanted you to go in peace.
114
00:09:16,980 --> 00:09:19,370
Why did this have to happen?
115
00:09:31,190 --> 00:09:34,740
I'm sorry, Brother.
116
00:09:37,450 --> 00:09:43,500
But the public can't know about this.
117
00:09:49,070 --> 00:09:59,250
You did all you set out to do
in the end and died in peace.
118
00:10:05,410 --> 00:10:08,500
Forgive me, Brother.
119
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:16,170
Please forgive this heartless sister...
120
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:27,400
I'll make up for this when I join you in the afterlife.
121
00:10:30,030 --> 00:10:36,440
Rest in peace now and watch
over Goryeo from up above.
122
00:10:36,450 --> 00:10:37,640
My dear brother...
123
00:10:38,900 --> 00:10:40,600
My dear brother...
124
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,860
What is it, sir?
125
00:10:52,190 --> 00:10:54,820
How did you take care of Prince Daeryang?
126
00:10:57,500 --> 00:11:02,740
{\a6}[Sa Gamun] [Sa Illa]
127
00:10:58,990 --> 00:11:03,960
I... I threw him into the ocean.
128
00:11:07,970 --> 00:11:09,690
I'll ask you again.
129
00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:12,180
{\a6}[Kim Chi Yang]
130
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:12,810
How did you take care of him?
131
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,470
What's wrong, Master?
132
00:11:28,690 --> 00:11:30,050
Kill yourself.
133
00:11:31,410 --> 00:11:34,150
It's punishment for defying my order.
134
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,480
Please calm down, sir.
135
00:11:40,490 --> 00:11:42,180
What has she done?
136
00:11:42,460 --> 00:11:47,760
Not only did you defy my order,
but you lied about it.
137
00:11:49,140 --> 00:11:53,670
The child you claimed to have killed
is in the palace right now.
138
00:11:56,140 --> 00:11:57,630
Why?
139
00:11:57,860 --> 00:12:01,060
Why did you let the seed of trouble take root?
140
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,770
I asked you a question!
141
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,870
I couldn't kill him because he's Lady Seol's son.
142
00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:17,920
What?
143
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:26,040
You'd risk sabotaging the great enterprise for pity?
144
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,290
No, but...
145
00:12:32,070 --> 00:12:36,360
We don't have to be monsters, do we?
146
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:43,530
You said yourself that the greatest ambitions
must be accompanied by compassion.
147
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,240
Aren't you still tormented by the loss of
your childhood friend at Hangae Temple?
148
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,750
I just couldn't take the young child's life.
149
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:05,310
I'm sorry.
150
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:27,050
Forgive her, Master.
151
00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:29,390
She has a soft heart.
152
00:13:30,090 --> 00:13:31,710
Give her another chance.
153
00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:42,400
The Lady has gone to the palace, so I will wait for the result.
154
00:13:42,780 --> 00:13:48,700
But if this results in a change of the Royal Successor,
155
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,100
your life won't be the only thing I'll take.
156
00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:07,430
You brought Prince Daeryang back
into a complicated situation.
157
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:14,620
I didn't have the slightest idea about
what was going on in the palace.
158
00:14:10,630 --> 00:14:14,030
{\a6}[Gang Gamchan (Grand Secretary of the Supreme Council)]
159
00:14:14,630 --> 00:14:16,540
How could you have?
160
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,740
{\a6}[Seo Hui (Vice Minister of the Supreme Council)]
161
00:14:16,550 --> 00:14:18,960
This is not your fault.
162
00:14:20,980 --> 00:14:26,330
Sir, there's something that strikes me as odd.
163
00:14:27,990 --> 00:14:29,570
Odd?
164
00:14:31,060 --> 00:14:33,720
About Prince Gyeongjuwon's death.
165
00:14:34,340 --> 00:14:40,510
His suicide note said that he lost his son at sea,
166
00:14:41,190 --> 00:14:43,380
and he was killing himself due to grief,
167
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,190
but he had taken the child to the
porcelain making village himself.
168
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:55,180
Yes, that makes no sense. What's your theory?
169
00:14:55,190 --> 00:15:02,440
Perhaps it wasn't a suicide after all.
170
00:15:04,650 --> 00:15:12,750
Perhaps he was forced under duress to kill himself.
171
00:15:15,290 --> 00:15:16,720
Do you think so?
172
00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:20,540
The chief of the porcelain village said
173
00:15:21,250 --> 00:15:28,800
Prince Gyeongjuwon had a strange woman
with him when he brought the child.
174
00:15:29,910 --> 00:15:31,800
A strange woman?
175
00:15:32,570 --> 00:15:41,200
Unfortunately she was wearing a hat and
he couldn't remember what she looked like.
176
00:15:41,210 --> 00:15:49,480
But I'm almost certain that Prince Gyeongjuwon
didn't die of his own accord.
177
00:15:53,100 --> 00:15:55,340
Vice Minister Seo, Secretary Gang...
178
00:15:55,670 --> 00:15:57,010
Yes?
179
00:15:57,410 --> 00:16:03,960
The King... the King has died.
180
00:16:06,470 --> 00:16:07,870
What?
181
00:16:14,030 --> 00:16:18,270
Answer me. Did you kill him?
182
00:16:18,980 --> 00:16:24,280
Did my mother tell you to kill the King?
183
00:16:26,140 --> 00:16:28,650
No, she absolutely did not.
184
00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:35,440
I was only trying to get the King not to sign the decree for you.
185
00:16:35,450 --> 00:16:39,560
Bull! Did I ever say that I wanted to be the King?
186
00:16:39,570 --> 00:16:42,470
I don't want to be the King!
187
00:16:43,510 --> 00:16:45,070
What's this?
188
00:16:50,340 --> 00:16:52,990
I told you back in Hwangju why you had to be the King.
189
00:16:53,340 --> 00:16:55,520
Do not do this again.
190
00:16:56,580 --> 00:17:02,180
Mother, I really don't want the throne
if this is what it takes to get it.
191
00:17:02,190 --> 00:17:06,550
It's decided, whether you want it or not.
192
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:12,820
The King has issued his decree and
you vowed before him to lead Goryeo.
193
00:17:12,830 --> 00:17:15,350
Are you going to break that vow?
194
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:19,390
But they found Prince Daeryang.
195
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,860
And the Queen thinks that
he should succeed the throne.
196
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,310
He is better qualified than I am.
197
00:17:28,260 --> 00:17:31,510
Stop talking like a fool and open your eyes.
198
00:17:31,780 --> 00:17:34,360
Who tried to kill you at Myeongbok Palace?
199
00:17:34,370 --> 00:17:36,990
Those were the Queen's men.
200
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,400
The Queen was in on this.
201
00:17:40,410 --> 00:17:44,620
Yes, that's exactly why I don't want the throne.
202
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:48,650
It's not worth killing each other for.
203
00:17:49,310 --> 00:17:51,950
I don't want it.
I don't want anything!
204
00:17:52,430 --> 00:17:57,130
I don't want you, I don't want the throne and I don't want the Queen!
205
00:17:57,140 --> 00:18:02,160
So please just leave me alone! Please!
206
00:18:07,530 --> 00:18:09,280
Prince Gaeryeong!
207
00:18:09,290 --> 00:18:10,770
Prince Gaeryeong!
208
00:18:10,780 --> 00:18:11,960
Prince Gaeryeong!
209
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,130
Prince Gaeryeong!
210
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,180
Prince Gaeryeong! Get a hold of yourself!
211
00:18:19,250 --> 00:18:22,400
I must call the physician.
212
00:18:22,860 --> 00:18:24,040
Just leave him.
213
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:25,730
Pardon?
214
00:18:27,590 --> 00:18:34,090
It won't help the situation to let
people know he is having seizures.
215
00:18:35,050 --> 00:18:39,390
He will wake up in a few minutes, so just leave him.
216
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,150
Your Highness!
217
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,410

Sire.
220
00:19:02,460 --> 00:19:05,940
Your Highness!
221
00:19:07,260 --> 00:19:14,050
Your Highness!
222
00:19:14,330 --> 00:19:18,920
Your Highness!
223
00:19:28,430 --> 00:19:33,270
The sixth King of Goryeo, Seongjong, had died.
224
00:19:35,130 --> 00:19:42,350
As his name suggests, he was a ruler who solidified the foundation the country.
225
00:19:43,770 --> 00:19:49,830
He centralized the government by adapting Tang China's three departments and six
226
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:56,340
ministries system and organized the ten states by establishing a 12 Mok system.
227
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:02,670
He also built ancestral shrines, paid homage to guardian deities of the state,
228
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,850
cultivated scholars by investing in the Great Learning,
229
00:20:06,860 --> 00:20:10,510
recruited good men through civil service exams,
230
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,440
brought relief to the poor by providing support to local leaders,
231
00:20:13,450 --> 00:20:18,070
improved public ethics by encouraging piety and integrity,
232
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:24,670
and laid a foundation for political, social and cultural development
233
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,790
by implementing innovative, strategic policies.
234
00:20:29,540 --> 00:20:31,760
Your Highness!
235
00:20:31,770 --> 00:20:34,310
Your Highness!
236
00:20:34,660 --> 00:20:38,440
Your Highness!
237
00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:43,500
Your Highness!
238
00:20:43,870 --> 00:20:46,140
Your Highness!
239
00:20:46,900 --> 00:20:48,590
Your Highness!
240
00:20:51,420 --> 00:20:54,730
Your Highness!
241
00:21:14,780 --> 00:21:18,390
Your Grace, I brought you some clam porridge.
242
00:21:18,970 --> 00:21:20,900
Please try.
243
00:21:24,140 --> 00:21:27,910
You must eat, My Queen.
244
00:21:25,060 --> 00:21:27,900
{\a6}[Court Lady Jo]
245
00:21:28,540 --> 00:21:32,520
Or you will become ill.
246
00:21:34,430 --> 00:21:38,140
Yes, I'll eat.
247
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,850
I will eat and get through this.
248
00:21:45,770 --> 00:21:47,110
Your Grace...
249
00:21:48,710 --> 00:21:58,000
I tried to kill myself, fearing this is how
I would end up, but I've changed my mind.
250
00:21:59,010 --> 00:22:04,370
I will get through if only to get revenge.
251
00:22:04,780 --> 00:22:07,620
I will stop at nothing for vengeance.
252
00:22:09,180 --> 00:22:14,430
You'll see, I'll survive this.
253
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:20,540
And I will avenge the King's death if it's the last thing I do.
254
00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:30,180
Prince Gaeryeong is refusing to rise to the throne?
255
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,230
Yes.
256
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:37,870
But he already accepted the Royal Seal.
257
00:22:35,130 --> 00:22:37,870
{\a6}[Choi Hang (Vice Minister of Personnel)]
258
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,760
Why is he doing this?
259
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:46,330
He is still traumatized by the attempt on his life at Myeongbok Palace.
260
00:22:46,340 --> 00:22:47,530
But...
261
00:22:48,030 --> 00:22:58,160
He'd already begun performing his duties as
King by conducting the national mourning.
262
00:22:58,170 --> 00:23:00,610
He can't refuse the throne now.
263
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:05,470
He will come around eventually.
264
00:23:05,970 --> 00:23:09,890
Let us give him some time.
265
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,830
But there are state affairs that need his attention.
266
00:23:15,970 --> 00:23:20,100
I will attend to the state affairs with you men.
267
00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:27,160
I would have to be Prince Gaeryeong's
regent for awhile anyway.
268
00:23:32,250 --> 00:23:37,440
The most pressing issue we have right now is the fugitive officials.
269
00:23:38,510 --> 00:23:40,790
How should we deal with them?
270
00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:50,500
They have to be found and prosecuted for the attempt on the Royal Successor's life.
271
00:23:50,510 --> 00:23:57,570
But that could look like political revenge.
272
00:23:57,580 --> 00:24:01,780
And it would break the promise to the departed King.
273
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,370
But we would be undermining the law if we allowed them to get away
274
00:24:07,380 --> 00:24:10,320
with a crime of such a serious nature.
275
00:24:11,180 --> 00:24:13,850
Then how about this?
276
00:24:15,430 --> 00:24:17,360
Prosecute the offenders,
277
00:24:17,370 --> 00:24:23,480
but reduce their sentences once
Prince Gaeryeong takes the throne.
278
00:24:24,050 --> 00:24:33,570
That way we can keep the promise to the King,
and preserve the law as well.
279
00:24:34,830 --> 00:24:39,030
I think that is a good idea.
280
00:24:39,530 --> 00:24:43,360
My Lady, I recommend this solution.
281
00:24:59,590 --> 00:25:00,780
Prince Gaeryeong.
282
00:25:02,380 --> 00:25:04,580
Let go of my hand.
283
00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:07,370
Let go of me and leave!
284
00:25:08,360 --> 00:25:09,680
No.
285
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,790
{\a6}[Sun (Future Queen Sunjeong)]
286
00:25:09,690 --> 00:25:12,030
Please don't do this, Prince Gaeryeong.
287
00:25:15,630 --> 00:25:18,460
This is the Royal Palace, not Sungdeok Palace.
288
00:25:18,470 --> 00:25:21,510
The Royal Successor can't be drinking in broad daylight.
289
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,680
Please snap out of this.
290
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,410
The Royal Successor?!
291
00:25:30,420 --> 00:25:33,270
I told you, I don't want the throne!
292
00:25:33,460 --> 00:25:34,910
Prince Gaeryeong!
293
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:40,610
Did my mother put you up to this, too?
294
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,770
What does she want me on the throne for?
295
00:25:43,780 --> 00:25:48,650
I'm an epileptic drunk!
296
00:25:49,730 --> 00:25:51,870
You think I don't know what this is about?
297
00:25:52,190 --> 00:25:57,690
She wants me as her puppet
so she can do anything she wants.
298
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:07,890
I don't want this. I don't.
299
00:26:08,380 --> 00:26:14,070
So please don't talk to me about the throne!
300
00:26:46,490 --> 00:26:47,670
Captain Yi.
301
00:26:49,450 --> 00:26:50,380
Captain Yi.
302
00:27:00,220 --> 00:27:01,760
What do you want?
303
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:13,150
I have a favor to ask of you.
304
00:27:15,030 --> 00:27:18,310
I've been waiting for your shift.
305
00:27:20,250 --> 00:27:22,440
What... is this about?
306
00:27:23,270 --> 00:27:25,610
I want you to bring Prince Gaeryeong here.
307
00:27:27,110 --> 00:27:31,170
I'm just a humble guard, Your Grace.
308
00:27:28,090 --> 00:27:31,060
{\a6}[Yi Hyunoon]
309
00:27:31,310 --> 00:27:36,280
I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that.
310
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,140
But you must.
311
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:47,380
If you don't, I will tell Lady Sungdeok
all about your snitching.
312
00:27:48,810 --> 00:27:50,640
Why would you do that?
313
00:27:50,650 --> 00:27:54,510
Why would you want to take me down with
you, when all I've ever done is help you?
314
00:27:55,220 --> 00:28:03,220
Will you bring me Prince Gaeryeong or
do you want Lady Sungdeok to kill you?
315
00:28:06,210 --> 00:28:12,070
Fine, then make me a promise.
316
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:20,730
Promise me you'll never act like you know me again if I bring you Prince Gaeryeong.
317
00:28:22,370 --> 00:28:26,760
Don't worry. I'll be leaving the palace soon.
318
00:28:26,770 --> 00:28:30,570
We will never see each other again.
319
00:28:32,050 --> 00:28:35,980
No, my Lady. Mercy?
320
00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:39,680
They have to be killed, all of them, including the Queen.
321
00:28:40,670 --> 00:28:45,560
I promised the departed King that I would seek no revenge.
322
00:28:46,530 --> 00:28:53,370
He would turn in his grave if I hurt the Queen.
323
00:28:54,380 --> 00:28:58,600
But that was before they attacked Myeongbok Palace.
324
00:28:59,450 --> 00:29:03,430
And I'm sure the Queen was involved.
325
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,670
Otherwise she wouldn't have tried so desperately
326
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,280
to put Prince Daeryang on the throne.
327
00:29:14,770 --> 00:29:16,550
Long time, no see.
328
00:29:17,590 --> 00:29:22,230
Duyan, I heard you were with
Kim Chi Yang's merchant group.
329
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,230
Yes, Princess.
330
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:29,170
Is it true that he is Lady Sungdeok's lover?
331
00:29:29,410 --> 00:29:30,170
Yes.
332
00:29:30,690 --> 00:29:35,270
That's why the Prime Minister put me in his merchant group.
333

{\a6}[Duyan]
334
00:29:35,770 --> 00:29:40,650

{\a6}[Su No]

I would be worthless if I'm sent out of the palace.
341

If Lady Sungdeok seizes power, the political
situation could actually turn against Liao.

Then you must find another partner
and see what damage you can do.

have been driven out of the palace.

You must be pretty desperate.
359
00:31:37,070 --> 00:31:42,130
Even so, it's rather low using
your young daughter, Jeong.
360
00:31:44,470 --> 00:31:45,950
Whatever do you mean?
361
00:31:46,430 --> 00:31:52,780
I'll be leaving the palace soon, and
I just wanted to see you before I go.
362
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,900
All right then. Look as much as you want.
363
00:31:54,910 --> 00:31:56,420
You're not going to wear me out.
364
00:31:57,870 --> 00:31:59,050
Prince Gaeryeong.
365
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,900
Just answer me this one question,
366
00:32:02,190 --> 00:32:06,840
were you involved in the attempted murder of my mother and me
367
00:32:07,510 --> 00:32:09,700
at Myeongbok Palace?
368
00:32:11,250 --> 00:32:15,050
I had nothing to do with that.
369
00:32:16,110 --> 00:32:22,040
How could I do that to you when I raised you myself?
370
00:32:22,050 --> 00:32:24,110
Your mother is setting me up.
371
00:32:25,500 --> 00:32:27,350
Then I'm glad.
372
00:32:29,540 --> 00:32:31,390
Yes, Prince Gaeryeong.
373
00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:39,250
Your mother, Lady Sungdeok,
might set me up to kill me.
374
00:32:40,420 --> 00:32:42,900
After all, I'm a thorn in her side.
375
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,330
You saw her.
376
00:32:46,340 --> 00:32:51,870
She slapped me, the Queen of
the state, over the King's body.
377
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:02,250
If it does come to that, Prince Gaeryeong,
378
00:33:03,220 --> 00:33:10,260
I don't care about my own life,
but would you protect your sister?
379
00:33:11,930 --> 00:33:14,070
That's what I called you here for.
380
00:33:17,010 --> 00:33:21,150
Mother, what are you saying?
381
00:33:18,010 --> 00:33:21,610
{\a6}[Jeong (Future Queen Weunjeong)]
382
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,610
Why would anyone want to kill you?
383
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,270
Jeong...
384
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,340
I'm not going to live without you.
385
00:33:34,650 --> 00:33:40,300
If you die, I'm going to die, too.
386
00:33:45,380 --> 00:33:51,520
No, Jeong. You have to survive.
387
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,530
You have to survive...
388
00:34:06,590 --> 00:34:08,620
Cut it out!
389
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,730
Stop acting like a poor victim.
390
00:34:14,740 --> 00:34:16,730
I can't take this anymore!
391
00:34:16,740 --> 00:34:18,680
No one is going to die.
392
00:34:18,690 --> 00:34:21,460
I won't let that happen, so just stop it!
393
00:34:41,310 --> 00:34:45,150
Jeong, don't cry.
394
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,610
It's okay now.
395
00:34:47,930 --> 00:34:52,180
Don't cry. I'm not going to die.
396
00:34:53,460 --> 00:34:55,330
I can't die.
397
00:35:18,300 --> 00:35:22,510
My Queen, he just called me "Dada".
398
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,270
Really?
399
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,370
Yes!
400
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:28,660
It's possible since he's over a year old now.
401
00:35:29,300 --> 00:35:35,040
Do it again, Sun. Say " Dada".
402
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:42,760
Oh Song, he can't talk. He's just a baby.
403
00:35:43,850 --> 00:35:48,440
Yes, he can. I heard him, too.
404
00:36:17,950 --> 00:36:19,710
Where did you go?
405
00:36:20,590 --> 00:36:21,960
Who is this child?
406
00:36:23,540 --> 00:36:26,450
He isn't...
407
00:36:26,820 --> 00:36:28,290
Yes, Prince.
408
00:36:28,300 --> 00:36:31,860
It's Lady Seol's child, Prince Daeryang.
409
00:36:35,030 --> 00:36:40,900
Sun? Are you really Sun?
410
00:36:43,820 --> 00:36:45,290
Answer me.
411
00:36:50,270 --> 00:36:54,250
Are you really Sun?
412
00:36:55,650 --> 00:37:00,020
My name is Turtle,
but I guess it's Wang Sun, too.
413

{\a6}[Wang Sun- Prince Daeryang (future King Hyeonjong)]
414

Turtle?
415

That's what they called him in the village, for long-life.
416
00:37:10,620 --> 00:37:15,810
Don't you remember me? I'm cousin Song.
417
00:37:16,210 --> 00:37:21,960
I used to give you piggy-back rides all the time.
418
00:37:23,260 --> 00:37:26,510
Don't you remember?
419
00:37:35,350 --> 00:37:38,900
It's so good to see you.
420
00:37:39,930 --> 00:37:43,780
But why did you come back?
421
00:37:44,430 --> 00:37:46,620
You should have stayed where you were.
422
00:37:47,730 --> 00:37:53,520
This is a scary place.
423
00:37:55,870 --> 00:37:57,640
But I'm still glad you're back.
424
00:37:58,410 --> 00:38:02,480
I missed you very much.

{\a6}[Cheon Hyang Bi]
426
00:38:24,250 --> 00:38:27,080
I found out where the others are hiding.
427
00:38:27,090 --> 00:38:30,860
They were wondering about you as well, sir.
428
00:38:30,870 --> 00:38:34,450
The Queen, what did you find out about the Queen?
429
00:38:35,730 --> 00:38:39,400
I couldn't get any information about
what's going on inside the palace.
430
00:38:36,630 --> 00:38:39,390
{\a6}[Jo Du]
431
00:38:39,410 --> 00:38:44,110

{\a6}[Kim Won Soong]
433
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:47,440
Who asked you to look for those worthless men?
434

We should have gotten her out when
the assassination plot failed.

{\a6}[Jo Sun]
436
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,340
Yes, I know.
437
00:38:58,580 --> 00:39:01,890
Anyway, I don't know what to do about the counterfeit operation.
438
00:39:01,900 --> 00:39:06,350
I can't produce the coins when I'm in hiding like this.
439
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,750
Sire, perhaps you should meet with Minister Choi Seom and his men.
440
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,670
What for?!
441
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,460
What could they possibly do
when they are in hiding as well?
442
00:39:17,180 --> 00:39:21,030
But two heads are better than one, Sire.
443
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,710
And we can't stay like this forever.
444
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:37,630
What do you think we should do now?
445
00:39:38,650 --> 00:39:43,090
Perhaps we should go to Gyeongju and be with our own.
446
00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:48,550
No, that's the first place they will come looking for us.
447
00:39:49,410 --> 00:39:53,720
It will be safer to hide in the mountains somewhere.
448
00:39:56,430 --> 00:39:59,160
Why don't we go to Song China?
449
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,420
That would be the best if we had the means,
450
00:40:00,510 --> 00:40:03,350
{\a6}[Yang Yi]
451
00:40:03,430 --> 00:40:07,840
but it will be difficult to arrange passage.
452
00:40:08,190 --> 00:40:15,600
Difficult for us, but perhaps not for Kim Won Soong.
453
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,520

What do you think, Father-in-Law?
458

I don't like it.
459
00:40:33,810 --> 00:40:35,040
Then?
460
00:40:36,260 --> 00:40:38,860
I don't want to run.

What's the point of struggling to survive?

Perhaps dying with the King we brought to the throne,
is the most dignified thing we could do.

Don't get weak, Sire.

and the Lotus Lantern Festival, as well.

This is about national pride.

It's a bridge we have to cross at some point.

We will just have to show the Khitan that we never gave up

being an empire, at least internally.

the substance befitting of an empire.

That's why I'd like Vice Minister Seo and Secretary Gang
to work out a strategy to strengthen our military.

receive respect in this country.

00:47:50,630 --> 00:47:56,610
awarding honors to recognize filial piety,
and forgiving delinquent taxes for the year.
533
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:05,160
Let the people know that this is to declare
a new start for Goryeo as an empire!
534
00:48:05,170 --> 00:48:09,190
Your grace is infinite, Your Majesty!
535
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:29,110
- Long live the Emperor!
- Long live the Emperor!
536

- Long live the Emperor!
- Long live the Emperor!

- Long live the Emperor!
- Long live the Emperor!
538
00:48:44,890 --> 00:48:50,460
On the day of his enthronement, Mokjong honored
the deities by giving praise and gratitude as he
539
00:48:50,470 --> 00:48:55,630
reduced compulsory labor, ordered
all people's sufferings to be relieved
540
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:59,670
and fed the country for the day.
541
00:49:00,870 --> 00:49:02,920
He also honored his mother
542
00:49:02,930 --> 00:49:07,250
with the exalted title of Empress Ungcheon-gaesung-jeongdeok,
543
00:49:07,870 --> 00:49:12,950
but she became better known as
Empress Cheonchu for the name of
544
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:18,170
the palace she took residence.
545
00:49:25,340 --> 00:49:29,200
An empire?
546
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:31,730
Yes, Your Majesty.
547
00:49:33,810 --> 00:49:36,970
How dare they?!
548
00:49:34,450 --> 00:49:39,690
{\a6}[Shengzhong (6th ruler of Khitan)]
549
00:49:38,900 --> 00:49:44,320
They lowered themselves to a kingdom when they were in alliance with Song,
550
00:49:44,330 --> 00:49:48,900
and they are refusing to do the same with us?
551
00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:54,800
The new King has got some nerve!
552
00:49:55,710 --> 00:50:00,740
According to the report, it's not the King
but his mother's decision.

That wench.
557
00:50:11,980 --> 00:50:16,090
She was kicked around like dirt when she was here.
558
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:21,670
We let her go and her arrogance knows no bounds.
559

560

Yes, Your Majesty.

Go back to Goryeo.

Go back and tell them that this is unacceptable.
563
00:50:55,530 --> 00:50:58,790
I am the only Emperor under this sky!
564
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:00,290
Do you understand?
565
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:05,540
Yes, Your Majesty.
566
00:51:14,310 --> 00:51:16,830
I will now announce new staff appointments.
567
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:23,110
I'm appointing Lord Seo Hui Chief of the Supreme Council and ask all officials
568
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,860
to obey him as you obey me.
569
00:51:25,870 --> 00:51:29,260
Your grace is immeasurable.
570
00:51:29,770 --> 00:51:32,090
I'm appointing Gang Gamchan Minister of the Board of Rites,
571
00:51:32,420 --> 00:51:37,530
Han Ingyeong Minister of Finance and Choi Hang Royal Undersecretary.
572
00:51:37,700 --> 00:51:42,020
In addition, I'm elevating generals Gang Jo and Dae Dosu to High General status and
573
00:51:42,330 --> 00:51:49,140
and appointing Gang Jo Minister of the Military
and Dae Dosu Minister of Punishment.
574
00:51:49,380 --> 00:51:53,080
Your grace is immeasurable!
575
00:51:53,690 --> 00:51:59,420
Lastly, for those who newly joined us per recommendations of the high ministers,
576
00:51:59,780 --> 00:52:02,080
I am appointing Choi Suk Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel,
577
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,030
Choi Wonshin Vice Minister of the Board of Rites,
578
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,690
Hwangbo Yui Vice Minister of the Ministry of Finance,
579
00:52:08,140 --> 00:52:10,280
and Chae Choongsun Secretary of Home Affairs.
580
00:52:10,290 --> 00:52:13,040
I ask that all of you work together with commitment and dedication for the state.
581
00:52:13,050 --> 00:52:16,080
Yes, Your Majesty.
582
00:52:25,430 --> 00:52:28,240
Choi Suk and Choi Wonshin...
583
00:52:28,780 --> 00:52:34,350
They both came from very prominent families of Gyeongju.
584
00:52:35,230 --> 00:52:43,560
Choi Suk is the son of Choi Seunglo, who was the head
of the Supreme Council early in Seongjong's reign,
585
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,930
and Choi Wonshin is Seongjong's master Choi Ryang's son.
586
00:52:47,940 --> 00:52:52,360
But he is a rather imprudent character unlike his father.
587
00:52:56,860 --> 00:53:00,720
Chae Choongsun and Hwangbo Yui...
588
00:53:01,460 --> 00:53:06,260
Chae Choongsun is a high scholar with an incorruptible character,
589
00:53:06,270 --> 00:53:10,810
Hwangbo Yui is a relative of Empress Dowager Cheonchu.
590
00:53:11,660 --> 00:53:19,790
These two men were northerners to take the place of Yi Ji Baek and Yi Gyeomui,
591
00:53:20,310 --> 00:53:26,160
but they would later veer off course contrary to expectations.
592
00:53:26,660 --> 00:53:28,370
First Secretary of the Office of National Ceremony?
593
00:53:28,890 --> 00:53:30,180
Yes.
594
00:53:30,500 --> 00:53:33,850
It's a first class fifth rank position.

for the King to give me back my infant son.

Yes. They're going to meet again tomorrow.
700

Then we must get them right now.
701

We can't let them leave the country.

But do we take care of them ourselves
or do we alert the palace?

01:02:06,250 --> 01:02:09,210
We can turn everyone else over to the palace,

01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,730
but I must confront Choi Seom myself.
705
01:02:15,540 --> 01:02:21,260
This is what I've been waiting for.
706
01:02:37,900 --> 01:02:41,520
What? They've been located?
707
01:02:41,820 --> 01:02:43,060
Yes, Your Highness.
708
01:02:43,070 --> 01:02:46,730
Someone sent an anonymous note
to Sungdeok Palace last night.
709
01:02:47,190 --> 01:02:48,200
An anonymous note?
710
01:02:48,930 --> 01:02:53,140
Yes. It revealed the location of the men.
711
01:02:55,220 --> 01:02:56,710
So where are they?
712
01:03:04,070 --> 01:03:05,600
What do you men want?
713
01:03:05,610 --> 01:03:07,870
- Get them!
- Yes, sir!
714
01:03:20,020 --> 01:03:21,030
We're in trouble!
715
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,810
Royal guards are here!
716
01:03:23,820 --> 01:03:27,580
What? Royal guards?
717
01:03:27,590 --> 01:03:31,390
How did they find out where we are?
Who's the snitch?
718
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,290
We have no time for this.
We have to run!
719
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:41,110
Get them out!
720
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,120
How dare you?!
721
01:03:43,890 --> 01:03:46,270
Don't you know who I am?
722
01:03:48,340 --> 01:03:52,140
You're the man who tried to murder
the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
723
01:03:52,150 --> 01:03:56,400
I've been ordered to kill you if you resist.
724
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:01,340
Get them out!
725
01:04:01,670 --> 01:04:03,680
How dare you?!
726
01:04:03,690 --> 01:04:07,610
Don't you know who I am?
727
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:13,920
That's all of them, sir.
728
01:04:16,660 --> 01:04:21,780
Where is the former Minister of War, Choi Seom?
729
01:04:25,260 --> 01:04:26,970
Where is he?
730
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:33,870
Answer the question!
731
01:04:37,220 --> 01:04:41,950
Fine. I'll kill you first.
732
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:44,190
Wait!
733
01:04:44,700 --> 01:04:52,460
Choi Seom left early this morning to
take care of something with his steward.
734
01:04:52,750 --> 01:04:54,400
Where?
735
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,130
I don't know. I swear!
736
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,270
Who do you want me to meet?
737
01:05:01,280 --> 01:05:04,740
Who is going to throw me a lifeline?
738
01:05:08,550 --> 01:05:11,470
There he is, Sire.
739
01:05:26,660 --> 01:05:28,250
Who might you be?

01:05:31,010 --> 01:05:35,020

Listen well. Did Lady Yeunheung know about this?
746
01:06:04,210 --> 01:06:06,280
Yes, she knew!
747
01:06:06,290 --> 01:06:09,130
The Queen knew about everything!
748
01:06:09,140 --> 01:06:12,030
High treason? This is absurd!
749
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:14,910
You are under arrest for the attempted
murder of the Empress Dowager.
750
01:06:15,110 --> 01:06:17,080
How could you attempt to kill the Emperor?
751
01:06:17,090 --> 01:06:21,390
I raised the Emperor. Call the Emperor right now!
752
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:23,910
Release her right now! This is an order!
753
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,050
I made you an Emperor.
754
01:06:26,060 --> 01:06:29,330
So you are using me to get whatever you want.
755
01:06:29,340 --> 01:06:31,210
Why don't you just be the Emperor yourself?
