General Gang.
4
00:00:15,604 --> 00:00:17,600
Take these men outside.
5
00:00:18,306 --> 00:00:19,475
Yes, sir.
6
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:21,503
You bastards! How dare you?!

{\a6}Episode 71
8
00:00:21,749 --> 00:00:23,033
This is the future Emperor!
9
00:00:23,033 --> 00:00:25,720
Prince! Prince! Prince!
10
00:00:28,787 --> 00:00:32,041
General Gang, what is the meaning of this?
11
00:00:32,296 --> 00:00:33,882
At the risk of being insolent,
12
00:00:33,883 --> 00:00:35,694
I've come to discuss an important matter with you.
13
00:00:35,694 --> 00:00:40,687
Please do not make me do
anything more disrespectful.
14
00:00:53,392 --> 00:00:56,926
{\a6}[Prince Daeryang- Wang Sun]
15
00:00:52,330 --> 00:00:54,258
I don't know what is this about,
16
00:00:54,647 --> 00:00:58,222
but this exceeds being insolent.
17
00:00:59,100 --> 00:01:01,925
If you have something to say, come back
when you're ready to be proper.
18
00:01:03,222 --> 00:01:07,185
{\a6}[Gang Jo (Chief Commander of the Northwestern Armies)]
19
00:01:02,550 --> 00:01:04,955
I am forced to do this
20
00:01:05,275 --> 00:01:06,854
in order to reinstate the Regent.
21
00:01:07,772 --> 00:01:11,492
Ministers of the court oppose this
to protect their selfish interests.
22
00:01:11,699 --> 00:01:15,218
I need you, the future Emperor, to set this right.
23
00:01:16,196 --> 00:01:19,646
Accept the Empress Dowager as your regent.
24
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:28,100
And if I refuse, are you going to kill me with that spear?
25
00:01:29,932 --> 00:01:35,459
Even if you're right, I do not yield
to these kinds of threats.
26
00:01:35,672 --> 00:01:38,456
State affairs are not decided by brute force.
27
00:01:44,406 --> 00:01:49,149
General Gang! We have a problem, sir.
28
00:01:49,149 --> 00:01:51,241
The soldiers of the Two Armies
are marching to the palace!
29
00:01:51,588 --> 00:01:52,557
What?
30
00:02:06,623 --> 00:02:08,870
Who is leading them?
31
00:02:08,870 --> 00:02:12,910
Generals Choi Sawui and Tak Sajeong, sir.
32
00:02:13,335 --> 00:02:15,297
How dare they?!
33
00:02:15,846 --> 00:02:21,086
Sir, what do we do now?
34
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:25,316
Call your men to the gate.
35
00:02:25,702 --> 00:02:29,497
We must stop them from entering the palace.
36
00:02:31,370 --> 00:02:34,080
{\a6}[Yi Hyunoon]
37
00:02:29,813 --> 00:02:35,298
But sir, we're far outnumbered.
38
00:02:35,391 --> 00:02:39,300
Can't we just talk this out instead?
39
00:02:39,951 --> 00:02:41,184
Yes, General.
40
00:02:41,837 --> 00:02:45,915
If only Generals Yang Kyu and
Kim Sukheung hadn't been sent away...
41
00:02:43,584 --> 00:02:45,716
{\a6}[Choi Ghi]
42
00:02:46,730 --> 00:02:49,781
Perhaps we should seal the gates
and take a defensive position.
43
00:02:49,781 --> 00:02:51,064
It makes no difference!
44
00:02:51,858 --> 00:02:55,132
I will wipe them all out with my spear.
45
00:02:55,523 --> 00:02:58,522
Choi Sawui and Tak Sajeong are no match for me.
46
00:02:59,409 --> 00:03:00,518
General Gang!
47
00:03:07,192 --> 00:03:09,432
Stop this, General Gang.
48
00:03:09,314 --> 00:03:13,002
{\a6}[Dae Dosu (Minister of Punishment)]
49
00:03:09,942 --> 00:03:13,287
We can't fight on our own.
50
00:03:13,557 --> 00:03:17,128
I'm only trying to reinstate the Empress Dowager.
51
00:03:17,749 --> 00:03:21,418
And I will destroy anyone who gets in the way.
52
00:03:21,518 --> 00:03:27,919
But the Two Armies is the
Empress Dowager's prized project.
53
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,254
If you fight them blood against blood,
54
00:03:31,435 --> 00:03:36,125
it is the Empress Dowager's
heart that will be broken!
55
00:03:37,063 --> 00:03:39,758
Get out of my way if you won't help.
56
00:03:40,058 --> 00:03:42,220
I'm doing this whether you like it or not.
57
00:03:55,950 --> 00:03:58,211
{\a6}[Guibup Temple]
58
00:04:01,248 --> 00:04:04,803
I will be back to see you off.
59
00:04:05,444 --> 00:04:07,542
Don't Minister Gang.
60
00:04:07,750 --> 00:04:09,845
I'd like to leave quietly.
61
00:04:12,212 --> 00:04:15,966
{\a6}[Gang Gamchan (Minister of the Office of Ceremony)]
62
00:04:11,550 --> 00:04:16,719
Then let me at least send
military escorts for your journey.
63
00:04:18,442 --> 00:04:22,556
{\a6}[Empress Dowager Cheonchu]
64
00:04:17,825 --> 00:04:19,470
No, Minister Gang.
65
00:04:20,370 --> 00:04:22,814
I would rather you placed the
66
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:25,160
soldiers in service to the state.
67
00:04:29,128 --> 00:04:32,136
Your Majesty! Empress Dowager!
68
00:04:33,830 --> 00:04:38,532
It's trouble. General Gang Jo has taken up arms.
69
00:04:40,007 --> 00:04:41,098
I beg your pardon?
70
00:04:41,986 --> 00:04:45,847
{\a6}[Choi Hang (Royal Undersecretary)]
71
00:04:41,578 --> 00:04:44,598
He's forced the ministers to leave
72
00:04:44,733 --> 00:04:46,765
the palace and taken over control.
73
00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:49,752
{\a6}[Emperor Mokjong (7th Ruler of Goryeo)]
74
00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:48,075
Are you saying...
75
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,350
he is trying to take the throne?
76
00:04:50,431 --> 00:04:57,852
No, I suspect it's an attempt to bring
Empress Dowager back to the palace.
77
00:05:53,171 --> 00:05:57,197
{\a6}[Choi Sawui]
78
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,975
General Gang Jo, stop these treasonous actions at once
79
00:05:56,185 --> 00:05:57,485
and lay down your arms!
80
00:05:57,850 --> 00:06:02,370
Do not follow the steps of Kim Chi Yang!
81
00:06:03,704 --> 00:06:05,165
Watch your tongue!
82
00:06:05,611 --> 00:06:09,496
I am the one who suppressed Kim Chi Yang's rebellion!
83
00:06:10,162 --> 00:06:15,419
I've taken up arms to bring the
Empress Dowager back to her rightful place.
84
00:06:17,793 --> 00:06:19,432
You have taken up arms and
85
00:06:18,596 --> 00:06:23,059
{\a6}[Tak Sajeong]
86
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:21,848
seized control of the palace.
87
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,961
This is clearly treason!
88
00:06:25,612 --> 00:06:31,724
Ministers of this court act in their own interest, not in the interest of the state!
89
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:38,328
They must be driven out and the Regent
must be reinstated if Goryeo is to survive!
90
00:06:38,826 --> 00:06:42,114
So join me and follow the righteous cause!
91
00:06:42,114 --> 00:06:47,844
You're only using the Empress Dowager to justify this treason!
92
00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:54,223
The Empress Dowager never ordered
you to capture the palace!
93
00:06:55,057 --> 00:06:59,781
Soldiers of the Two Armies,
do not pay heed to this man.
94
00:06:59,781 --> 00:07:09,066
You are the Empress Dowager's army! Without her, you have no future!
95
00:07:09,428 --> 00:07:14,714
So lay down your arms and join me!
96
00:07:30,437 --> 00:07:34,193
Men, we are not here to fight the Empress Dowager.
97
00:07:34,193 --> 00:07:36,826
We're here to suppress treason.
98
00:07:36,826 --> 00:07:37,797
That's right!
99
00:07:37,797 --> 00:07:38,637
Attack!
100
00:07:43,467 --> 00:07:46,416
Very well. Take your best shot.
101
00:07:46,837 --> 00:07:48,460
Stop them!
102
00:07:48,460 --> 00:07:50,496
Attack!
103
00:09:02,814 --> 00:09:04,095
Stop!
104
00:09:14,593 --> 00:09:20,619
The Empress Dowager is here!
Lay down your arms and step back!
105
00:09:39,318 --> 00:09:44,207
Your Highness, you've returned at last!
106
00:09:44,497 --> 00:09:48,803
General Gang, what is this unspeakable behavior?
107
00:09:50,444 --> 00:09:53,461
This is tantamount to high treason!
108
00:09:53,857 --> 00:09:56,355
Lay down your arms at once!
109
00:09:58,471 --> 00:10:03,824
I can't do that, Your Highness.
110
00:10:04,684 --> 00:10:11,509
Please do not disregard my loyalty
to you and to this country.
111
00:10:11,809 --> 00:10:15,859
General Gang, my days are over.
112
00:10:16,107 --> 00:10:18,946
Please do not try to turn back the clock.
113
00:10:19,046 --> 00:10:20,096
No!
114
00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:24,401
As far as I am concerned your days will never be over.
115
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:30,047
You are the one who will bring Goryeo to the top!
116
00:10:31,029 --> 00:10:35,577
General Gang, listen to the Empress Dowager.
117
00:10:36,801 --> 00:10:38,728
I'm sorry, Minister.
118
00:10:40,867 --> 00:10:49,651
Your Highness, I cannot give up on you
like this, may the sky fall upon me.
119
00:10:54,779 --> 00:11:01,098
If you insist, you will have to kill me first.
120
00:11:02,142 --> 00:11:06,167
I will fight against you with
the soldiers of the Two Armies.
121
00:11:06,167 --> 00:11:08,179
Empress Dowager!
122
00:11:08,179 --> 00:11:15,791
Lay down your weapons this instant!
This is my final command, General Gang.
123
00:11:32,718 --> 00:11:34,216
General Gang?
124
00:11:36,712 --> 00:11:40,395
Lay down your weapons.
125
00:12:09,082 --> 00:12:14,123
Your Highness, it is good to see you again.
Have you fared well?
126
00:12:15,509 --> 00:12:20,830
Yes. It's good to see you too, Prince.
127
00:12:21,921 --> 00:12:25,967
I was planning a visit to Guibup Temple to see you.
128
00:12:27,242 --> 00:12:29,706
I appreciate the thought.
129
00:12:31,063 --> 00:12:38,134
I was not planning on coming
back here again, but here I am.
130
00:12:38,724 --> 00:12:45,213
I heard that you spoke to General Gang
and stopped the conflict.
131
00:12:45,649 --> 00:12:48,099
Thank you, Your Highness.
132
00:12:50,703 --> 00:12:52,363
Prince Daeryang...
133
00:12:53,131 --> 00:12:54,692
Yes, Your Highness.
134
00:12:55,922 --> 00:12:59,543
General Gang has committed a treacherous offense.
135
00:13:00,166 --> 00:13:06,966
It is indeed reprehensible,
but I am the cause of his offense,
136
00:13:07,111 --> 00:13:09,812
so please find it in your heart to forgive him.
137
00:13:10,086 --> 00:13:11,995
Your Highness...
138
00:13:17,436 --> 00:13:19,807
Your Highness, what are you doing?
139
00:13:20,883 --> 00:13:26,331
Show him mercy and punish me for the crime.
140
00:13:26,686 --> 00:13:28,956
Your Highness, please get up off the floor.
141
00:13:29,056 --> 00:13:35,736
I cannot get up until General Gang is forgiven.
142
00:13:37,637 --> 00:13:39,494
Your Highness...
143
00:13:45,071 --> 00:13:50,671
Empress Dowager, I beg you to reconsider!
144
00:13:52,056 --> 00:13:57,145
Your Highness needs to return in
order for Goryeo to stand tall again!
145
00:13:58,453 --> 00:14:04,589
Please do not forsake this country, Empress Dowager!
146
00:14:04,589 --> 00:14:10,013
Please do not forsake Goryeo, Empress Dowager!
147
00:14:31,711 --> 00:14:35,446
Your Highness, we will now take General Gang
and his men to confinement.
148
00:14:35,895 --> 00:14:43,740
No, charges will not be brought against General Gang, so you may leave.
149
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,510
But how could high treason be overlooked?
150
00:14:47,558 --> 00:14:53,658
It is Prince Daeryangwon's order.
151
00:14:58,011 --> 00:15:01,083
Withdraw your swords and move out.
152
00:15:01,083 --> 00:15:02,316
Yes, sir!
153
00:15:40,263 --> 00:15:47,295
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, General Gang.
154
00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:53,765
Your Highness, you can't give up like this.
155
00:15:54,251 --> 00:15:58,930
Please think about it one last time.
156
00:16:02,013 --> 00:16:07,132
How could I not know what
General Gang is feeling on my behalf?
157
00:16:08,893 --> 00:16:16,234
But you must let me go now.
158
00:16:18,906 --> 00:16:21,137
Your Highness...
159
00:16:22,259 --> 00:16:24,883
We built the Two Armies and
160
00:16:24,883 --> 00:16:27,779
Six Guards to defend the country
161
00:16:27,779 --> 00:16:31,852
against the Khitan, not to fight each other.
162
00:16:33,818 --> 00:16:37,080
What about the vow you took
163
00:16:37,784 --> 00:16:39,980
with me at the Yalu River?
164
00:16:43,224 --> 00:16:57,940
I'm sorry. I'm sorry for breaking the vow to reclaim Balhae together.
165
00:17:00,293 --> 00:17:06,830
But you don't have to give up that dream.
166
00:17:09,624 --> 00:17:18,861
You can realize that dream with
the new Emperor, albeit without me.
167
00:17:20,493 --> 00:17:28,793
Without you, those dreams are futile.
168
00:17:30,383 --> 00:17:32,085
General Gang...
169
00:17:38,006 --> 00:17:40,170
let me go.
170
00:17:42,226 --> 00:17:45,423
It is for your own survival.
171
00:17:50,556 --> 00:17:52,286
Your Highness...
172
00:18:14,713 --> 00:18:16,313
Your Highness...
173
00:18:23,207 --> 00:18:25,730
{\a6} [Yunheung Hall]
174
00:18:27,169 --> 00:18:28,648
That's absurd!
175
00:18:28,648 --> 00:18:30,402
Forgive a man who took up arms
176
00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:34,903
{\a6} [Lady Yunheung]
177
00:18:30,403 --> 00:18:32,303
and threatened the soon to be Emperor?
178
00:18:32,443 --> 00:18:36,003
That's unheard of;
he must be punished!
179
00:18:36,003 --> 00:18:40,607
But it was Prince Daeryang's command.
We had no choice but to follow.
180
00:18:40,607 --> 00:18:43,696
Gang Jo cannot be left to roam free.
181
00:18:43,855 --> 00:18:49,096
It's impossible to make my daughter the
next Empress with him as powerful as he is.
182
00:18:49,515 --> 00:18:50,959
That's right.
183
00:18:51,620 --> 00:18:54,635
{\a6}[Jo Sun]
184
00:18:51,005 --> 00:18:53,915
We have to use this chance
185
00:18:53,915 --> 00:18:56,532
to incapacitate Gang Gamchan, Dae Dosu,
186
00:18:56,533 --> 00:19:01,206
Choi Hang and the others who were close to Dowager Cheonchu.
187
00:19:01,206 --> 00:19:05,927
But Prince Daeryang will not allow that.
188
00:19:06,056 --> 00:19:09,205
If the Prince won't be persuaded,
189
00:19:07,598 --> 00:19:10,456
{\a6}[Mun In Wui]
190
00:19:09,206 --> 00:19:11,306
we will have to use force.
191
00:19:11,383 --> 00:19:13,003
Force?
192
00:19:12,506 --> 00:19:16,423
{\a6}[Kim Shimon (Minister of Domestic Affairs)]
193
00:19:13,003 --> 00:19:14,203
Are you talking about mobilizing the
194
00:19:14,203 --> 00:19:16,803
troops to put pressure on the Prince?
195
00:19:16,853 --> 00:19:22,526
Gang Jo has given us reason enough
with his reckless actions.
196
00:19:22,526 --> 00:19:26,092
And once Dowager Cheonchu leaves the city,
197
00:19:26,092 --> 00:19:29,235
we won't have to worry about the influence
she has over the military anymore.
198
00:19:30,766 --> 00:19:37,122
Strike Gang Jo once Dowager Cheonchu is out of the picture?
199
00:19:37,793 --> 00:19:39,307
Exactly, my Lady.
200
00:19:39,606 --> 00:19:42,636
Put Gang Jo, Gang Gamchan,
Dae Dosu and Choi Hang under arrest,
201
00:19:42,636 --> 00:19:48,910
then acquire approval from the new Emperor.
202
00:19:49,339 --> 00:19:55,880
But we could easily be incriminated
for conspiracy to commit treason.
203
00:19:56,358 --> 00:20:00,852
No, it's a risk worth taking.
204
00:20:01,619 --> 00:20:08,048
We will hit them for contempt of the
Emperor while their guard is down,
205
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,679
after the enthronement.
206
00:20:23,826 --> 00:20:31,794
The eighth ruler of Goryeo, Hyeonjong,
ascended to the throne in January of 1009.
207
00:20:32,265 --> 00:20:38,915
Birth name Sun and courtesy name Anse,
he was the son of posthumously
208
00:20:38,915 --> 00:20:43,034
honored King Wang Ook and Queen Consort Hunjeong.
209
00:20:43,922 --> 00:20:52,508
He is said to be have been intelligent,
kind, well-read and talented in writing.
210
00:20:52,845 --> 00:20:56,788
There is also a record that during
his temporary stay at a temple,
211
00:20:56,788 --> 00:21:00,019
a priest dreamt that a star fell in the temple yard and
212
00:21:00,019 --> 00:21:09,252
that turned into a dragon,
then into a man who was a king.
213
00:21:14,185 --> 00:21:19,479
According to "Goryeosa", Mokjong
personally attended to his mother's meals
214
00:21:19,479 --> 00:21:33,307
and personally held the reins of
her horse on the road to Choongju.
215
00:21:56,546 --> 00:22:02,454
Love live the Emperor!

{\a6}[Hyeonjong (8th Ruler of Goryeo)]
220
00:22:31,764 --> 00:22:35,780
General Gang Jo, you are under arrest for high treason!
221
00:22:36,233 --> 00:22:40,539
What is this?
High treason?
222
00:22:47,169 --> 00:22:53,300
What is the meaning of this?
The Emperor has granted us absolution!
223
00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:54,993
Withdraw your weapon!
224
00:22:55,545 --> 00:23:00,134
Do not resist if you wish to live.
Where is Gang Jo?
225
00:23:00,134 --> 00:23:02,906
Who is looking for me?
226
00:23:23,556 --> 00:23:28,140
Did the Emperor send you to arrest me?
227
00:23:29,651 --> 00:23:31,045
That's right.
228
00:23:32,957 --> 00:23:38,746
General, we will all die if we let
them take us. We have to fight!
229
00:23:39,773 --> 00:23:44,139
The Emperor will have his wish.
230
00:23:51,267 --> 00:23:57,179
What are you waiting for?
Tie my hands!
231
00:24:02,306 --> 00:24:06,929
Wait, I'm innocent! I tried to
stop him, but he wouldn't listen!
232
00:24:06,929 --> 00:24:08,456
Wait!
233
00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:12,596
Get out of here all of you!
234
00:24:13,362 --> 00:24:19,736
His Majesty would never issue such orders.
You are making a mistake!
235
00:24:19,736 --> 00:24:24,438
That's right. We're the warriors of Ahnyoongjin!
236
00:24:25,070 --> 00:24:26,664
This is unthinkable!
237
00:24:26,664 --> 00:24:29,829
Resist and you will die.
238
00:24:30,859 --> 00:24:37,183
Will you obey the Emperor's command
or will you choose death?
239
00:24:37,995 --> 00:24:43,703
All right, let's find out who dies.
Make your move!
240

Stop.

00:24:50,003 --> 00:24:53,142
We cannot fight our own any
more than we already have.

{\a6}[Yu Bang]
244

Yes, sir!
250
00:25:15,398 --> 00:25:19,466
Pardon? Gang Jo and the
Imperial Guards have been arrested?
251

Your Majesty, they're criminals of high
treason who threatened your life.
252
00:25:26,224 --> 00:25:30,571
They must be punished according to the law.
253

This is an outrage!
254
00:25:33,535 --> 00:25:38,119
His Majesty has already granted them absolution.
255
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,976
You have no authority to have them arrested!
256
00:25:42,446 --> 00:25:49,105
His Majesty has displaced his benevolence,
but high treason cannot go unpunished.
257

Apprehension of criminals is a matter
for the Ministry of Punishment.

What is the meaning of this?

These men are being arrested for their
involvement in Gang Jo's treasonous plot.
295
00:28:05,598 --> 00:28:09,733
That's absurd! Let go of them at once!
296

Forgive us, Your Majesty.
Take them away.

Let go!

Let go!

They arrested us on the ridiculous
charge of conspiring with you
304
00:28:58,383 --> 00:29:03,826
to seize control of the palace.
This is absolutely outrageous!
305
00:29:04,151 --> 00:29:06,549
Ministry of Personnel Kim Shimon and
the others are boldly disobeying the
306
00:29:06,549 --> 00:29:12,883
Emperor's order bringing soldiers into
the council hall and committing treachery!
307
00:29:12,958 --> 00:29:14,333
How can that be?

How dare they?!
309
00:29:16,804 --> 00:29:22,921
What worries me most is the Emperor.
310
00:29:22,921 --> 00:29:29,732
They are blatantly ignoring him and
stirring up a reactionary movement.
311
00:29:30,782 --> 00:29:32,675
Take your hands off of me!
312
00:29:42,130 --> 00:29:44,503
I will not say this again.
313
00:29:44,938 --> 00:29:50,274
Release them immediately and
undo what has been done!
314
00:29:50,274 --> 00:29:54,421
This is in Your Majesty's best interest
and in the best interest of the regime.
315
00:29:54,421 --> 00:29:57,607
Please understand our loyalty.
316
00:29:57,607 --> 00:30:01,832
Defying my order is in my best interest?!
317
00:30:02,265 --> 00:30:06,694
Dispense with this absurdity
and obey my command!
318
00:30:07,188 --> 00:30:13,744
Your Majesty, you must trust us and
consider the country's future.
319
00:30:13,744 --> 00:30:21,731
You do not understand politics yet, but
you will eventually see that we were right.
320
00:30:22,117 --> 00:30:26,332
Dowager Cheonchu almost brought the country to ruin.
321
00:30:26,332 --> 00:30:31,915
She has disgraced the empire by
having an illicit affair with a traitor.
322
00:30:31,915 --> 00:30:37,540
Like Qin Shi Huang's mother Zhao Ji,
who had an affair with an eunuch,
323
00:30:37,540 --> 00:30:40,586
she deserves to be executed.
324
00:30:40,826 --> 00:30:42,668
That's right, Your Majesty.
325
00:30:42,928 --> 00:30:46,266
And her closest aides like Gang Gamchan
326
00:30:46,266 --> 00:30:50,760
and Gang Jo, who vowed loyalty to her and
instigated an uprising must be eliminated.
327
00:30:51,041 --> 00:30:56,456
This is the only way that the government will be rectified.
328
00:30:57,545 --> 00:31:04,364
Is that right? Then kill me as well.
329
00:31:05,175 --> 00:31:09,307
Call the guards back in and
remove me from the throne!
330
00:31:09,531 --> 00:31:12,879
Your Majesty, I beg you to calm down.
331
00:31:13,741 --> 00:31:17,417
Minister Gang is like a father to me,
and to whom I owe my life.
332
00:31:17,417 --> 00:31:20,666
If you wish to destroy him,
remove me from the palace first!
333
00:31:22,371 --> 00:31:25,704
Emperor reacted that strongly?
334
00:31:26,442 --> 00:31:33,804
He's tougher than we thought.
I'm afraid this might backfire on us.
335
00:31:34,235 --> 00:31:41,596
I think we might've overdone it.
The tables could turn on us.
336
00:31:41,596 --> 00:31:46,525
Perhaps we should pretend to relent and have them released.
337
00:31:46,525 --> 00:31:47,992
No, we can't do that!
338
00:31:48,626 --> 00:31:50,964
That would be admission of defeat.
339
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:57,405
Then what? I'm afraid we will fall
out of favor with the Emperor.
340
00:31:59,566 --> 00:32:05,121
Perhaps we can compromise.
341
00:32:07,008 --> 00:32:08,399
Compromise?
342
00:32:09,051 --> 00:32:14,536
Let them live, but ask the
Emperor to reduce their rank.
343
00:32:15,073 --> 00:32:19,426
If they can no longer have an
influence on the Emperor's decisions,
344
00:32:19,426 --> 00:32:21,657
wouldn't we have accomplished our goal?
345
00:32:22,302 --> 00:32:27,568
If he continues to resist, insist
that it's either execution or demotion
346
00:32:27,568 --> 00:32:31,625
and make him settle for the second best option.
347
00:32:33,023 --> 00:32:38,080
That's an excellent idea. I'm for it.
348
00:32:38,281 --> 00:32:43,946
But Gang Jo cannot be left alive.
349
00:32:44,403 --> 00:32:47,032
He must be eliminated or he will retaliate.
350
00:32:47,032 --> 00:32:49,811
Killing him isn't the cure-all either.
351
00:32:49,811 --> 00:32:54,084
Yang Kyu will not stand by idly if he is killed.
352
00:32:55,166 --> 00:32:56,382
Then?
353
00:32:57,547 --> 00:33:02,042
How about killing Dowager Cheonchu instead?
354
00:33:02,977 --> 00:33:06,583
If we can keep Gang Jo locked up
and Dowager Cheonchu is dead,
355
00:33:06,583 --> 00:33:09,561
it will be clear sailing for us.
356
00:33:10,111 --> 00:33:12,053
Not so.
357
00:33:12,053 --> 00:33:17,131
If Dowager Cheonchu is killed,
the Emperor and Yang Kyu won't sit idly by.
358
00:33:17,940 --> 00:33:23,027
Perhaps Mokjong is the one to kill.
359
00:33:24,713 --> 00:33:26,336
The former Emperor?
360
00:33:26,813 --> 00:33:28,623
Think about it.
361
00:33:29,247 --> 00:33:35,447
Dowager Cheonchu is already devastated
by the loss of Prince Hwangju.
362
00:33:36,186 --> 00:33:41,495
If she loses her other son as well, she'll
never want to come near the court again.
363
00:33:41,495 --> 00:33:48,718
We will suck the political ambitions out of
her so she can never make a comeback.
364
00:33:48,718 --> 00:33:55,518
Besides, she will have no basis to make a
comeback if the former emperor is dead.
365
00:33:58,591 --> 00:34:02,881
My Lady, I think it's worth a try.
366
00:34:04,661 --> 00:34:05,411
No.
367
00:34:07,195 --> 00:34:08,015
My Lady...
368
00:34:08,015 --> 00:34:16,280
I raised the former emperor myself;
I will not kill him.
369
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,853
My Lady, you must look at the big picture.
370
00:34:19,853 --> 00:34:24,618
He is a reprobate who used
drugs and committed sodomy.
371
00:34:25,844 --> 00:34:31,512
No one will mourn his death.
372
00:34:35,672 --> 00:34:41,225
But won't killing him create a stir as well?
373
00:34:42,288 --> 00:34:46,082
I have an idea.
374
00:34:49,587 --> 00:34:53,752
We can make it look like a suicide.
375
00:34:53,752 --> 00:34:59,529
But if they find out that it isn't,
we will put the rap on Gang Jo.
376
00:34:59,977 --> 00:35:01,475
What do you think?
377
00:35:17,156 --> 00:35:23,518
Your Highness, I will get off the horse now.
Would you like to ride?
378
00:35:24,301 --> 00:35:27,172
I told you I have strong legs.
379
00:35:28,804 --> 00:35:31,114
Then Your Majesty?
380
00:35:32,645 --> 00:35:34,739
Thank you, but I prefer to walk.
381
00:35:34,739 --> 00:35:39,308
Your Majesty, I think we're coming to a village.
382
00:35:45,827 --> 00:35:48,274
{\a6}[Yu Chungjeong]
383
00:35:44,674 --> 00:35:48,074
Your Highness, perhaps you'd like to
384
00:35:48,074 --> 00:35:50,374
have dinner and rest here for the night.
385
00:35:51,074 --> 00:35:55,844
Yes. I'm actually quite hungry.
386
00:36:06,223 --> 00:36:07,861
Gatekeeper!
387
00:36:10,893 --> 00:36:12,869
Is the master of the house in?
388
00:36:13,523 --> 00:36:14,867
May I help you?
389
00:36:14,867 --> 00:36:17,177
I am from the Imperial Palace.
390
00:36:17,501 --> 00:36:21,135
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor
are traveling through the area
391
00:36:21,135 --> 00:36:23,685
and I wonder if you could accommodate us for the night.
392
00:36:25,992 --> 00:36:28,034
Wait here for a moment.
393
00:36:31,761 --> 00:36:34,007
You must be hungry, Empress.
394
00:36:37,408 --> 00:36:39,985
{\a6}[Empress Sunjeong]
395
00:36:35,155 --> 00:36:40,884
Yes, the truth is I'm starved.
396
00:36:41,975 --> 00:36:44,503
This trip must be so hard for you.
397
00:36:45,018 --> 00:36:47,331
Let us hang in there a while longer.
398
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:48,966
Yes.
399
00:36:49,745 --> 00:36:51,085
Are these the guests?
400
00:36:51,995 --> 00:36:53,119
Yes, my Lord.
401
00:36:54,668 --> 00:36:57,883
Are you really Empress Dowager Cheonchu?
402
00:36:58,828 --> 00:37:04,228
Yes. These are the former Emperor and Empress.
403
00:37:04,603 --> 00:37:11,503
We are traveling to Choongju and I wonder
if you could accommodate us for the night.
404
00:37:12,078 --> 00:37:17,676
I see. You are indeed Empress Dowager Cheonchu!
405
00:37:19,552 --> 00:37:24,040
Then of course we will accommodate you.
406
00:37:24,433 --> 00:37:26,005
Thank you.
407
00:37:26,599 --> 00:37:31,778
Men, seize their horse and their belongings!
408
00:37:31,778 --> 00:37:32,980
Yes, sir!
409
00:37:40,281 --> 00:37:43,664
How dare you?!
What is the meaning of this?
410
00:37:43,937 --> 00:37:47,813
These are the former Emperor and
Empress Dowager! Stay back!
411
00:37:47,813 --> 00:37:48,844
Silence!
412
00:37:49,591 --> 00:37:53,358
This is the day I've been dreaming of.
413
00:37:53,569 --> 00:37:58,321
You lowered the sharecropping rate
and robbed us landowners
414
00:37:58,700 --> 00:38:02,129
of the precious wealth that's been handed
down to us from generation to generation!
415
00:38:02,129 --> 00:38:03,908
Listen, my man, that's...
416
00:38:03,908 --> 00:38:05,082
Shut your mouth!
417
00:38:05,399 --> 00:38:06,889
And as if that wasn't enough,
418
00:38:06,900 --> 00:38:09,644
you're a widow who has been working with bandits,
419
00:38:09,924 --> 00:38:12,168
so what are you blabbering on about?
420
00:38:13,857 --> 00:38:19,112
What are you all doing? That person is a wicked
demon who hammered down our nation!
421
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,347
Give her a good beating and
chase her off to some faraway place!
422
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:23,455
Yes, sir!
423
00:38:36,106 --> 00:38:37,290
Stop!
424
00:38:41,559 --> 00:38:49,011
I am the former Emperor of Goryeo!
Do not lay a finger on my mother!
425
00:38:50,390 --> 00:38:55,352
Don't just stand there;
I don't care who he is.
426
00:38:55,352 --> 00:38:58,130
Give them what they deserve! Alright?
427
00:39:31,604 --> 00:39:32,793
Attendant Yang!
428
00:39:41,341 --> 00:39:43,431
I think he's dead, my Lord.
429
00:39:44,024 --> 00:39:48,968
Oh? That's good enough then.
430
00:39:50,343 --> 00:39:55,961
Ah, I feel a little better now.
Let's get back inside.
431
00:40:06,255 --> 00:40:07,676
Attendant Yang!
432
00:40:09,439 --> 00:40:11,977
Attendant Yang!
433
00:40:33,630 --> 00:40:35,582
What have you done?
434
00:40:35,582 --> 00:40:38,684
Why did you arrest the innocent ministers?
435
00:40:38,902 --> 00:40:40,728
Release them at once!
436
00:40:42,506 --> 00:40:45,927
You! Where is the Emperor?
437
00:40:45,927 --> 00:40:48,075
Be quiet!
438
00:40:49,417 --> 00:40:51,390
Take Yi Hyunoon and Ahn Pae out.
439
00:40:51,390 --> 00:40:52,341
Yes, sir.
440
00:40:57,689 --> 00:41:00,005
What do you want?
441
00:41:02,978 --> 00:41:05,910
Why are you taking them?
Answer the question!
442
00:41:09,369 --> 00:41:13,201
It's none of your business, so shut your mouth.
443
00:41:13,201 --> 00:41:14,294
Take them.
444
00:41:17,744 --> 00:41:21,548
Help me! General Gang! General Gang!
445
00:41:22,310 --> 00:41:26,208
Why do you think they're taking the two men?
446
00:41:27,316 --> 00:41:29,377
It's obvious.
447
00:41:31,037 --> 00:41:38,502
They are weak-willed men,
so they're trying to extract a confession
448
00:41:38,502 --> 00:41:41,197
of high treason out of them.
449
00:41:41,428 --> 00:41:47,200
That wimp Yi Hyunoon will talk
before they lay a finger on him.
450
00:41:47,780 --> 00:41:53,876
This isn't good. He'll do
anything to keep his neck intact.
451
00:41:53,876 --> 00:41:55,266
What do we do, General?
452
00:42:14,168 --> 00:42:18,599
{\a6}[Ahn Pae] [Yi Hyunoon]
453
00:42:13,277 --> 00:42:14,806
Why are you doing this?
454
00:42:14,806 --> 00:42:16,853
This is a mistake.
455
00:42:17,167 --> 00:42:19,299
I really haven't done anything!
456
00:42:21,711 --> 00:42:22,975
Do you wish to live?
457
00:42:25,397 --> 00:42:30,267
Please don't kill me. I was
just following Gang Jo's orders.
458
00:42:30,267 --> 00:42:34,145
The truth is, we don't really get
along and I don't even like him.
459
00:42:34,145 --> 00:42:40,425
In fact, I think he's a bloody thug.
Please don't kill me.
460
00:42:41,026 --> 00:42:48,862
Me too. I had no choice but to follow his orders.
461
00:42:48,862 --> 00:42:53,651
Besides, Gang Gamchan is my arch enemy.
462
00:42:53,651 --> 00:42:57,766
Please spare me my life, sir.
463
00:42:57,766 --> 00:43:01,682
Then will you do as I say?
464
00:43:01,883 --> 00:43:04,988
Yes, I'll do anything.

00:43:10,479 --> 00:43:11,603
Fine.
467
00:43:12,289 --> 00:43:18,936
Do what you're told, and not only will you
be spared but you'll be promoted as well.
468
00:43:21,801 --> 00:43:28,164
Really? Just tell us what to do, sir.
We'll do anything.
469
00:44:07,224 --> 00:44:10,701

No, I'm not all right.

Are you in pain?

00:44:24,512 --> 00:44:30,673
It's not my body. It's my heart.
473
00:44:33,374 --> 00:44:37,055
My heart is torn into million pieces.

Apparently, the child that fell off the cliff
with Sa Illa was Sa Gamun's son.

We considered going after them directly,

00:49:57,681 --> 00:50:02,191
Who are you really and why
are you impersonating Sa Illa?
521
00:50:06,423 --> 00:50:08,183
I will speak the truth.
522
00:50:08,183 --> 00:50:16,141
The truth is, I am Sa Illa's brother,
Sa Gamun's wife Duyan.
523
00:50:18,945 --> 00:50:20,350
What?
524
00:50:23,250 --> 00:50:32,550
And this is... Sa Gamun's son, Ryang.
525
00:50:37,449 --> 00:50:40,045
{\a6}[Prince Hwangju- Kim Jin]
526
00:50:41,254 --> 00:50:43,562
I have given you my order!
527
00:50:43,562 --> 00:50:46,727
If you will not release Gang Gamchan and Gang Jo,
528
00:50:46,727 --> 00:50:51,551
put me in confinement as well and depose me!
529
00:50:51,799 --> 00:50:57,279
Your Majesty, I beg you to calm down
and listen to what we have to say.
530
00:50:57,279 --> 00:51:03,242
We understand how you feel, but a
criminal of high treason can't be set free.
531
00:51:03,242 --> 00:51:07,369
There must also be consequences
for Gang Gamchan and Choi Hang
532
00:51:07,369 --> 00:51:10,488
who acted in concert with Dowager Cheonchu.
533
00:51:11,165 --> 00:51:19,146
But if you so resist, we will make a concession and compromise.
534
00:51:19,430 --> 00:51:26,338
We ask that you keep Gang Jo in confinement
to write a declaration of guilt and hold
535
00:51:26,338 --> 00:51:34,074
the remaining officials accountable
for mayhem by reducing their rank.
536
00:51:34,074 --> 00:51:41,038
Your Majesty, we make this concession
after much deliberation taking
537
00:51:41,038 --> 00:51:44,295
Your Majesty's feelings into account,
so please grant us consent.
538
00:51:44,295 --> 00:51:50,940
Your Majesty, your refusal to approve this action
would make us criminals of high treason.
539
00:51:50,940 --> 00:51:55,933
And if so, we would choose to kill
the prisoners in confinement and
540
00:51:55,933 --> 00:51:58,859
take our own lives.
541
00:51:58,859 --> 00:52:01,095
So please grant us consent.
542
00:52:01,095 --> 00:52:04,564
Please grant us consent, Your Majesty!
543
00:52:04,949 --> 00:52:10,300
Your Majesty if you truly wish
to protect Gang Gamchan,
544
00:52:10,300 --> 00:52:12,937
please listen to Vice Minister Hwangbo.
545
00:52:12,937 --> 00:52:17,617
This is the only way we can all survive.
546
00:52:25,459 --> 00:52:28,859
{\a6}[Jeong (future Queen Wonjeong)]
547
00:52:24,859 --> 00:52:27,568
Really, Mother?
548
00:52:27,569 --> 00:52:29,459
Am I really going into the palace?
549
00:52:30,459 --> 00:52:33,500
Yes, it's inevitable.
550
00:52:36,354 --> 00:52:40,773
My good daughter, you've been through so much.
551
00:52:41,270 --> 00:52:44,670
Things are finally looking up for us.
552
00:52:45,556 --> 00:52:49,135
You mean His Majesty has approved?
553
00:52:51,143 --> 00:52:53,420
Yes, he will approve soon.
554
00:52:53,420 --> 00:52:59,533
Soon? You mean he hasn't approved yet?
555
00:53:00,931 --> 00:53:04,404
One does not have to say everything with words.
556
00:53:02,614 --> 00:53:05,343
{\a6}[Court Lady Jo]
557
00:53:06,003 --> 00:53:09,478
Didn't you see his face light up?
558
00:53:10,334 --> 00:53:15,750
He was instantly attracted to you
when you met the other day.
559
00:53:17,152 --> 00:53:20,835
It's just a matter of time before you are by his side.
560
00:53:26,451 --> 00:53:28,977
How could they do that to us land barons?
561
00:53:29,378 --> 00:53:30,523
Let's go.
562
00:53:38,026 --> 00:53:40,615
Are you sure Empress Dowager Cheonchu is in here?
563
00:53:40,980 --> 00:53:43,332
Yes, I told you already.
564
00:53:43,332 --> 00:53:50,042
Let's find out what the wench that
bled us dry and almost ruined the
565
00:53:50,042 --> 00:53:51,778
country looks like!
566
00:53:51,979 --> 00:53:57,202
Wait. Are you sure we can do this?
After all, she is an Empress Dowager.
567
00:53:58,746 --> 00:54:04,445
She was kicked out of the palace for carrying on
with a Jurchen and messing up the government.
568
00:54:04,738 --> 00:54:07,267
What are you afraid of?
569
00:54:09,308 --> 00:54:14,362
They would probably give us a medal for this.
570
00:54:16,065 --> 00:54:19,684
Empress Dowager Cheonchu the whore, come on out!
571
00:54:20,107 --> 00:54:25,319
We know you're in there. Get out here!
572
00:54:26,409 --> 00:54:29,699
Stay here. I will go outside.
573
00:54:30,044 --> 00:54:36,783
Come out now or we'll set the hut
on fire. Come out here at once!
574
00:54:53,304 --> 00:54:57,685
What do you want with us? Leave us!
575
00:54:59,962 --> 00:55:02,823
Take a look, everyone.
576
00:55:03,132 --> 00:55:09,832
The one over there is the one who planned the rebellion,
the witch among witches, Empress Cheonchu.
577
00:55:11,883 --> 00:55:16,312
She's a handsome woman! I can't
believe she almost ruined the country!
578
00:55:16,312 --> 00:55:18,422
Handsome? Are you kidding?
579
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:24,581
She's uglier than the old innkeeper!
580
00:55:25,565 --> 00:55:26,826
Yes, she is!
581
00:55:28,668 --> 00:55:29,820
How dare you?!
582
00:55:31,868 --> 00:55:37,512
Watch your vulgar tongues!
Have you no fear of the gods?
583
00:55:38,090 --> 00:55:45,167
Oh, yes. The rumor has it you got
dethroned for sleeping with a man.
584
00:55:45,167 --> 00:55:49,152
You've got some nerve holding your head high.
585
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,538
Why don't you just drink plenty of this shit water?!
586
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:53,757
Take this!
587
00:56:03,764 --> 00:56:04,604
Mother!
588
00:56:14,001 --> 00:56:15,205
Stop!
589
00:56:23,366 --> 00:56:28,855
Your Highness, are you all right?
590
00:56:29,198 --> 00:56:32,353
What are you doing here?
591
00:56:33,127 --> 00:56:35,656
Well, um...
592
00:56:38,062 --> 00:56:40,667
General Gang Jo sent us.
593
00:56:42,056 --> 00:56:43,632
General Gang Jo?
594
00:56:45,961 --> 00:56:54,682
He was worried about your safety
and even sent along a physician.
595
00:56:55,512 --> 00:57:01,149
More importantly, what horrendous appearance you have!
I'll arrest those bastards from before immediately!
596
00:57:02,019 --> 00:57:03,439
Let them go.
597
00:57:04,245 --> 00:57:08,200
This is my punishment.
Who can I blame?
598
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:14,373
I need to wash up, so take
care of the Emperor for me.
599
00:57:15,872 --> 00:57:18,432
Don't worry, Your Highness.
600
00:57:19,409 --> 00:57:23,840
I will have the soldiers escort you just in case.
601
00:57:25,232 --> 00:57:26,525
Thank you.
602
00:57:29,456 --> 00:57:30,944
I will be right back.
603
00:57:31,858 --> 00:57:36,246
Be careful, Mother.
604
00:58:43,953 --> 00:58:45,503
Your Highness...
605
00:59:20,696 --> 00:59:27,382
Your Majesty, the last few days must
have drained you of your strength.
606
00:59:27,382 --> 00:59:32,610
Please take this invigorant to replenish your energy.
607
00:59:36,025 --> 00:59:44,357
I'm all right; give it to my mother.
608
00:59:44,886 --> 00:59:50,676
There is enough for both of you.
Please drink, Your Majesty.
609
00:59:51,209 --> 00:59:55,454
General Gang Jo had it made especially for you.
610
00:59:59,178 --> 01:00:00,612
Drink.
611
01:00:20,419 --> 01:00:25,780
General Gang Jo didn't send you, did he?
612
01:00:27,194 --> 01:00:30,565
Yes, Your Majesty. What's wrong?
613
01:00:32,623 --> 01:00:35,915
Answer the question? Who sent you?
614
01:00:37,105 --> 01:00:41,486
Your Majesty! What's wrong, Your Majesty?
615
01:00:48,458 --> 01:00:52,076
What is the meaning of this?
Put that sword down at once!
616
01:00:52,076 --> 01:00:54,493
Get out of here if you don't want to die!
617
01:00:56,146 --> 01:00:57,974
Unsheathe your sword!
618
01:00:58,819 --> 01:01:00,256
Yes, my sword...
619
01:01:09,012 --> 01:01:12,986
Run, Your Majesty! Run!
620
01:01:18,904 --> 01:01:21,210
Emperor is getting away! Go after him!
621
01:01:27,459 --> 01:01:30,490
There he is! Get him!
622
01:01:53,793 --> 01:01:55,720
Where are the guards?
623
01:02:02,532 --> 01:02:03,810
Attendant Yu?
624
01:02:03,810 --> 01:02:07,864
Your Highness, the Emperor is in danger!
625
01:02:11,904 --> 01:02:13,759
Your Highness! Empress Dowager!
626
01:02:23,433 --> 01:02:24,900
Where did he go?
627
01:02:30,123 --> 01:02:31,255
Let's go.
628
01:02:47,085 --> 01:02:49,925
There he is. Get him!
629
01:03:13,858 --> 01:03:22,396
Yi Hyunoon, how could you do
this to me? How could you?
630
01:03:23,933 --> 01:03:29,236
We wouldn't have to do this if
you had just drank the poison.
631
01:03:30,504 --> 01:03:36,947
We're just trying to survive. So don't
blame us when you go to the next world.
632
01:03:38,455 --> 01:03:43,382
Stop! Step away from him!
633
01:03:44,193 --> 01:03:47,986
It's the Empress Dowager!
Let's get out of here!
634
01:03:49,697 --> 01:03:53,923
Mother, don't come close!
Stay back, Mother!
635
01:03:53,923 --> 01:03:57,297
Stop! Stop at once!
636
01:03:57,297 --> 01:03:59,957
Stop her! Stop her!
637
01:04:04,498 --> 01:04:07,606
Mother! Take your hands off of her.
638
01:04:24,143 --> 01:04:25,354
Emperor!
639
01:04:30,456 --> 01:04:31,753
Mother...
640
01:04:34,994 --> 01:04:37,261

It's General Gang Jo's order.

I said strike!

Your Majesty!
652
01:04:57,950 --> 01:05:00,493
Princess Jeong is a descendant of a villainous retainer!
653
01:05:00,493 --> 01:05:03,113
It's unthinkable, Your Majesty!
654
01:05:03,113 --> 01:05:04,849
Prince Hwangju is alive?
655
01:05:04,849 --> 01:05:08,573
He is Dowager Cheonchu's son.
He must be eliminated.
656
01:05:08,573 --> 01:05:09,479
Empress Dowager!
657
01:05:09,479 --> 01:05:10,138
Mother!
658
01:05:10,138 --> 01:05:13,540
Prepare the troops to march into Goryeo.
659
01:05:13,540 --> 01:05:15,069
Khitan have invaded?
660
01:05:15,069 --> 01:05:16,741
What? 400,000?
661
01:05:16,741 --> 01:05:19,563
They're coming at last!
