~ Episode 4 ~ The King is here!
Before the event, I have come myself to see if there is anything missing before it starts.
Huh? Why are you holding such a valuable thing in this kind of manner?!
You bastard!
Your Highness... you must not have greed inside of your heart.
How much more... are you going to play this stupid game?
How dare you?! What are you doing?!
I am going to reveal the disloyal deal you have made with Yoo Eul Dam to the whole world.
My King! I feel ashamed to say this, but . . .
King Taejo's vessel... has been broken!
There wouldn't be any problems...Right?
Of course.
There shouldn't be any problem.
As long as one person leaves it alone, we will be safe.
Lee Kang Cheon.
Bunwon Kiln Artisan Lee Yook Do.
I risk my reputation and life to tell you the truth.
This King Taejo's vessel has definitely been broken.
Where is it that you saying it has been broken?
Are you saying my eyes are wrong?
To the attention of those with eyes,
does this look like a broken vessel to you?
Your Majesty, even though it looks perfect, it definitely has been broken and put back together again.
If you allow it, I will show you the proof.
Fine. But if you are not able to prove it,
crime of stopping the continuation of this event and mocking the ancestors,
and for acting in contempt toward me and all the ministers present,
you will be sentenced to death as punishment. Understood?
Yes, I understand.
If it is proven that what I said was a lie, I will pay the punishment with my life.
Prove it to me then.
Please bring the hot water.
If hot water is put in a reassembled pot, the glue will melt and water will leak through, Your Majesty.
Perhaps...can that happen?
How long do I have to wait?
Fifteen minutes should be enough.
Dad, I was planning to use egg white as glue,
but Teacher ate all the eggs.
So?
He instructed me to make the glue by boiling the worms instead,
but it was amazing.
The glued parts didn't show at all. Perhaps it's because worms eat mud.
Clearly, the cracks are supposed to form.
Father, how on earth this could have happened?!
It was not the egg white that you have used as glue, Eul Dam?
Until when do I have to wait?
The water has already cooled. So, where on earth are the cracks that you speak of?
Your Majesty!
Eagerness of youth has brought forth disaster!
How dare you commit sin by insulting me and ancestors?
Surely, you said that you would pay with your life, didn't you?
Attendants! Drag him out, Immediately!
Yes.
Kang Cheon. Please, just this once, overlook this matter.
Let this child here and I live quietly.
Just this once, close your eyes.
Your Majesty.
My son has not been able to complete. Let me fulfill it as his father.
Please allow me.
Lee Kang Cheon,
are you trying to bring forth death upon yourself?
Fine.
Go ahead and try.
This is the only way to prove that the jar was broken.
Kang Cheon, you bastard!
Your Majesty, please calm down.
Please examine these.
One is with use of the glue and the other without the glue.
Please compare both of them.
There is shine to the glue where the glue has been applied.
That's right. This jar was definitely put together after it had been broken,
within the past four to five days.
Who is it?
Who did this?!
It's . . .
I.
What did you just say?!
I said it was me.
Who is it?!
It is I.
I'm asking who's the one who put this together?
There must've been someone who helped you put this together not knowing what their life is worth. Who is the traitor?
Won't you tell me?!
It was I who
broke it by accident and put it together. There is no one else involved with this.
So, punish me only.
Who knew you had such divine skills.
I have been in the dark with people closest to me.
Put it back together.
What?
Just as you said. Didn't you say you did it all on your own?
I said to put it together again this instant!
Considering they were the ones to report it, artisans in Bunwon or Kang Cheon would not have been involved.
Then...
It was unfortunate to have met him again.
Capture Yoo Eul Dam now!
Yes.
No, it's not. It's me, Your Majesty!
Please withdraw your order!
Shut up!
I won this fight.
Eul Dam,
are you prepared.
Criminal Yoo Eul Dam, receive the King's orders! Drag him out.
Yes.
Father! Father!
Father!
Why are you doing this? Why are you taking my father?
Move!
No, you can't. My father didn't do anything wrong!
Let him go!
Jung, go back home. Quick!
Let him go. I am the one who is at fault.
My father didn't do anything wrong.
This kid! Go away!
Jung! Jung!
Jung.
Jung, Jung.
Are you okay?
Jung!
Are you okay?
Father!
Orabeoni (Older brother)!
Orabeoni, are you okay?
Jung!
Jung, Jung!
Pathetic, so pathetic!
Pardon?
When Prince Gwanghae stepped forward and said that he broke it by accident,
what did the King do?
There was no question about the incident, and asked who put it together first.
This.. do you know what it means?
He's trying to find a scapegoat for Prince Gwanghae.
Right now. . . gather all of the court ministers.
This time our target is not some mere artisan.
Gwanghae must pay the price. Do you get it?
Your Majesty, I threatened that I'll kill him if he didn't do it.
He had to follow my order in order to live. He has done nothing wrong.
Please spare him!
So frustrating!
It happened while all the officials were watching.
This isn't something that can just be forgotten.
Don't you know the longer you wait, your crime gets bigger?
Because I'm scared of the punishment,
is it your teaching that it is Prince's duty to blame an innocent person?
I did it to provide a path to save your life.
Go back!
Stay in your room and don't dare come out.
My father the king!
I'll interrogate Eul Dam myself.
Return to your quarter this instant!
I heard that you confessed all your sins.
Is that true?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I am the one that broke and repaired the vessel.
Please sentence me to death.
What is it that you are afraid of that you're asking for death so quickly?
What is more scarier than death?
What is it that you're trying to hide?!
Your Majesty,
the incident happened in front of all the officials.
If you cover it up, the reputation of the royal family will fall to the ground.
As soon as possible, please make decision in regards to the criminal.
I've already captured the criminal. What do you mean by covering it up?
Perhaps, is the criminal you, the Minister of Interior, speaking of Gwanghae?
The broken jar is the founder of Joseon, King Taejo's Jar.
The crime for breaking it cannot be light.
The gods are crying out for justice.
Please reconsider, Your Majesty.
Even though I am well aware of your divine skills,
for the crime of deceiving the Royal House and the court,
Criminal Yoo Eul Dam will be sentenced to death.
For scheming, and in accordance with the law,
Prince Gwang Hae shall be banished
from capital for a period of one year.
Your Highness, have you heard?
The King has finally...
My son's has finished the Descriptive writings.
I'm so happy about it that I came out for a walk.
Yes. Congratulations.
- The King has finally... - I haven't taken a stroll for a long time.
Please don't ruin it by talking about deaths and interrogations.
Prince Sinseong,
do you know the reason why
Minister of Interior, who can make the birds to fall to the ground, bows to me?
Isn't it because you are the Royal Noble Consort?
No.
It's because of you, Prince Sinseong.
Because of me?
Yes.
It's because of Prince Sinseong, who will become the Crown Prince in the near future and subsequently the King,
that I can be so confident.
What if I don't become the Crown Prince?
Why are you worrying when you have me?
Perhaps you'll be disappointed in me.
That makes me worried.
That wouldn't happen.
Don't worry about anything.
You just need to grow up healthy.
Your mother . . . I will take care of all the rest.
My father is innocent!
The one that committed treason is me!
Let my father go, and take me instead!
My father is innocent!
- Jung! - I'm the traitor!
Let my father go and capture me!
She's so noisy.
We have to get rid of that drum.
Your Highness! Wait.
I'll fix the broken jar for you.
Since I broke it, I should fix it.
After all, I am my father's daughter.
I shouldn't have gone to find you then.
The King asked for you.
Tell me who you are again.
I'm Yoo Eul Dam's daughter, Jung.
Why have you come?
I am here to clear my father of the wrongly accused crime.
Do you know what crime your father committed?
Isn't it because of the jar?
But, it's not my father who is guilty, but I.
The one who broke the jar and put it back together
is only me. My father has nothing to do with it.
Jung.
You tell me.
Is the child telling the truth?
Your Highness, tell him the truth.
The one who broke the jar and put it back together is me, right?
Hurry and tell the truth.
All the responsibility will be on me.
Please just save my child.
Lee Kang Cheon.
Yes, Your Majesty.
This child says she fixed King Taejo's jar.
Master Artisan, is that possible?
There is no way.
It was a rare piece of work.
and she couldn't have learned it.
For an stubborn child like this,
in conclusion, it is impossible.
No.
It's me. If it were my father, he would have used eggs to make glue.
But, I knew that it would've melted under hot water.
Therefore, I didn't use egg glue.
No way. That perfectly repaired jar was...
Perhaps, is it that child?
I can't believe your words.
Did your father tell you to say that?
Your Majesty. My father... my father has done nothing wrong.
Please, believe me.
If he can live, even if it means that I'll have to take out my heart, I want to show you the truth.
You want to show me?
Fine, I'll give you a chance to show me that your words aren't lies.
Create a vessel.
Your Majesty.
I'm sorry, but I don't know how to make vessels.
You don't know how to make a vessel?!
Didn't you say you fixed King Taejo's jar?
That's because I thought throwing away my father's broken vessels was a waste,
so I've been fixing them since I was young.
But, I don't know how to make a vessel.
How dare you?!
Are you making fun of me?!
I'll do it. I'll try.
What vessel should I make?
Make the most beautiful vessel in the world.
What?
It can't be less elegant than Taejo's jar.
It's going to be a work that cannot be surpassed. Understand?
If I can't make that kind of vessel,
then what will happen?
Of course, It will be the same for both you and your father.
You will both be executed for treason.
Jung.
I'm disappointed.
How can you not tell the truth?
I'm sorry.
Is there no way for me to help you? Just tell me everything.
Let me meet my father.
I thought you said you're the Prince. How come you can't do anything?!
Do you blame me, Your Highness?
How can I?
You just did your job.
Why would I blame you?
Be satisfied that you earned the King's trust. Go now.
Do you think I did it to curry favor with the King?
Is that what you are thinking?
Are you saying not?!
Why did you choose Yoo Eul Dam?
I wanted to fix it for you too, Your Highness.
Why did you go to Yoo Eul Dam instead of me?
Does that mean you trust Yoo Eul Dam more than me?
Or did you just make a deal to give him the Chief Artisan position?
Do you think Eul Dam fixed it?
Don't tell me that...
The one that fixed the jar was... Are you saying it was the girl?
It's a lie to save her father.
What if it's true?
The Prince said that the girl fixed it instead of Yoo Eul Dam.
Idiot!
If that's true, do you want to study under Eul Dam's name?
You almost died today.
Don't talk like a fool anymore and just work.
If you talk like that once more, you'll lose the rank of Artisan.
Jung, rest a bit.
I can do it. I can do it.
No, I have to do it.
What is the most beautiful thing in the world?
Flower? Butterfly?
Women?
What is it?!
You're still like this.
I came to help you pack.
HALT!
Hyungnim, what are you doing? Please stop!
Didn't Honored Father give you a week to prepare to leave?
Or did you not hear that news?
My problem, I will take care of it. Please leave.
I hear that girl is a strong person.
She doesn't even know how to make a vessel. Yet, she said that she fixed the jar perfectly.
Hyungnim.
Anyway, common people are the problem.
They don't know how scary the King is.
They think that he'll just be a nice person..
Probably because she's a good daughter.
Now that kid will soon go through some hardship.
How can you say that when you're the one that broke it?
Why?
Are you going to go tell Honored Father that everything was a lie?
That I was the one that broke it?_____
That kid
will definitely make a vessel that moves Honored Father.
Wait and see.
Showing off again!
Do you think your sin is gone even if that kid makes a perfect vessel?
That won't ever happen here. Pack your things and leave!
Hwa Ryeong,
Orabeoni!
You're not eating?
Why don't you eat?
Hwa Ryeong, you don't care even if Jung Yi stumbles?
I wish her well as much as you do.
Then, couldn't you help her, please?
For me, there's not much I can do for her.
Jung.
This is to be a gift for the Ming Empire. it's second to none in dignity and beauty.
It's truly remarkable.
Where did you get it?
I just borrowed it for a while. I thought this might help you.
Halt!
Isn't this important raw materials for the factory?
Who are you to carry this?
I'm just poor farmer, Shim Jong Soo.
This is just...
I thought only finished products were missing. Now, even raw material is being stolen.
You Bastard! Where are you taking this?!
Spare me, please. Your Highness!
I was feeling so bad for a child whose father's been imprison.
I was trying to help the child who is struggling so much.
Please close your eyes just once, Your Highness!
I swear this is our first time. I'll return these right away, sir. So, please.
You said you're a poor farmer, Shim Jong Soo.
Yes, please.
Your Highness.
Since your job requires much effort and devotion . . .
No need to worry. You can go. I'll speak up for you.
Really?
You can leave white clay over there; be careful not to mess up. Yes sir!
No need for that , sir.
Jung Yi wants to quit.
What?
Jung, His Highness is here.
Jung. Jung, please.
Stop looking at this.
Since when did she become like that?
Ever since she saw that vase.
She said she'll try to make it like that, but
suddenly, she said she would give up.
She doesn't even eat or sleep; just keeps looking at that vase.
How should I help?
She wants to see him. (Her father).
Step aside!
Your Highness.
I need to enter.
Stop.
He's my gentleman-at-arms.
Do you dare to leave me without protection?
Yes. I couldn't keep my promise.
I can't face him. Why don't you see him, instead.
Finally,
Jung Yi did?
Yes, ahjussi.
Your and her life depends on the vase she's going to make.
What should we do to let her return to what she used to be.
Tae Do.
There's a book under the decorated chest in my room.
Hand it to her.
And also,
if something happens to me,
I ask you to take care of her.
Ahjussi.
What I said were not meaningless words, you know.
Won't you be my gentleman-at-arms?
Please, promise me that you'll protect Jung Yi.
Does it mean you're accepting it?
If you can take care of her,
I'll see you as my savior, and treat you well.
Are people of this country also like you?
Daughter to father, father to daughter,
and uncle to younger brother.
This is to last all your life.
Doesn't everyone keep something important?
If power is important, give it to them. If wealth or reputation, give it to them as well.
What's important to you is Jung Yi.
If you can't protect her-
Are you saying you'll exact revenge from me?
Maybe, you're not qualified to be my gentleman-at-arms.
Teacher.
You have to make the most beautiful thing in the world.
- Yes. - Okay, let me take a look.
Okay, what do you think is the most beautiful thing?
I don't know.
I don't know what it is.
- For me, it's liquor. - What?
Liquor.
For me, it's the most wonderful medicine in the world.
If you drink it, you'll feel happy.
And this world appears to be worth living.
Think about what would happen if liquor disappears.
I won't even want to think about it.
Okay. Now, what is most beautiful to you?
Just even by looking at it, all of your worries disappear.
So important, what would it be like to have it.
Why don't you find out what that is first?
Jung, your mother who gave birth to you
has thrown herself in a falling palanquin
to save you and me.
Continuing your mother's unfulfilled dream,
I'll surely make you the best ceramist in this country.
In teaching on how to make a good vase.
- Don't push too hard. - Oh no.
the quality she was most proud of
was when one was not just imitating the teacher.
Jung...
Always...
Trust in yourself.
Put only your heart and soul
into the vase.
That's a bowl, I see.
A tea bowl.
Lord Lee.
Yes, Your Highness.
How is this?
From looking at it, it lacks in glaze and looks.
And it's rough and crude..
in the extreme.
It is indeed crude.
Also, the salt glaze
seems too much.
Salt glaze?
Tears, you say?
Did you feel it was unfair?
No, Your Majesty.
Is this the vessel that
you think is the most beautiful in the world?
What is the most beautiful
thing in the world for you?
The throne of the dynasty?
If it's like that, a girl like me..
From the start, I couldn't have done it.
I cannot infuse it with dignity.
Then for you, what is the most beautiful thing?
For me
the most beautiful thing is
my mother and father's feelings.
And in this bowl, you put those feelings in here.
Yes, Your Majesty.
The love.. Where is it?
Try and turn it over.
The shape and form of that
explains
the echoes of a mother's chest,
where the child of the mother hears her heart.
Hears her heart?
Have you felt such love before like that?
No.
My mother, after giving birth to me, died.
Then,
where is your father's heart?
My father's heart is melted in the glaze.
In the glaze?
How is it in the glaze?
Do you mean through the flaws of the glaze due to your lack of talent?
Those flaws..
are
my tears for a father being accused for what I've done.
So this court has made me such a fool.
I'm saved by your tea bowl.
Is that it?
Is that what you think, Your Majesty?
Then,
Your Majesty . . .
is unworthy of the throne of this dynasty.
We must take this rude girl out of here.
Please allow this, Your Majesty.
Please allow this, Your Majesty!
You dare tell me, the King,
to step down from the throne?!
For you, aren't you the mother of your citizens?
Wiping away their tears?
A father will also wipe away their tears.
All of your citizens are believing that way.
But, poor citizens cannot see day after day.
So..
I am wrong, I am wrong, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
She's just a peasant's daughter.
The claim of putting together King Taejo's jar
has come out as a lie.
Please rethink this.
How exactly can I?
For covering up and
blackmailing for her father's crimes.
And daring to ask you to abdicate.
Such crimes
deserve death.
Her father has confessed all of his wrongdoings.
Please
carry out the King's death sentence
on him and his daughter
to guard the Royal Palace.
Then..
Then what about my mistake?
I broke King Taejo's jar. And I tried to keep it a secret.
I should deserve death too.
I'm sorry, Your Highness, but
you'll have to follow
the King's commands.
Your Majesty.
Born like me, she lost her Mother.
To save her Father, she made a vessel out of her tears.
She is that type of a child.
I trust you because
of your good justice.
Right now.. it ends.
This bowl you made is worthless.
Ugly and weak.
It does not match the Palace.
However.
The basis of our country is loyalty and filial piety to parents.
How it speaks of your father's loyalty to the country
and your courage in risking your life to save your father and your filial piety
moved my heart.
As a promise,
I will excuse your Father's mistakes.
Secondly . . .
Although the quality does not satisfy royal standards,
in my opinion, this bowl fills my heart
more than any other bowl in the world.
So,
you are also free.
Thank you.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, you can not.
You cannot, Your Majesty.
Silence!
Don't just ask about what crime this child committed,
look within yourselves first.
Gwang Hae, you..
My command for your exile is revoked.
We are all thankful, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
You did it. You're really brave.
You are brave.
It's because you helped me.
Thank you, Your Highness.
You've had a hard time.
For how long were you disappointed in me?
No, you would've also been kicked out of the palace.
It's because of me. If I hadn't broken the jar that day.
I'm sorry.
Jung. You didn't hear anything?
What? About what?
I already told Eul Dam everything.
What do you mean?
The jar...
was already broken.
I was planning to fool you, but...
I'm sorry.
Then, are you saying my father and I almost died
because of a jar that I didn't even break?
Is that it, Your Highness?
I'm truly sorry.
I'll repay the debt, so...
Let go.
If something had gone wrong, my father and I would've been punished.
I can't believe you tried to put the blame on us and
put my father in jail so that you wouldn't be kicked out of the palace.
I can never, never...
Father!
Jung.
Father, what's wrong with your face?
I'm sorry, Father.
Because of me...
This is all because of
my failing... of not protecting you well.
Father, I did wrong.
I really did wrong.
From now on, I'll listen to you well.
So, don't leave me anymore.
I was really scared.
It's okay.
Don't cry, Jung.
I should have gone to Bunwon Kiln,
but I called you instead.
You must've gone through a hard time, Your Highness.
To think that it was because of
one of my artisans...
That's enough.
We need more, better artisans.
I am bringing Yoo Eul Dam back to the Bunwon Kiln.
Your Highness, that's not allowed...
My mind is already set on that.
I'm also planning to tell His Majesty.
Your Highness.
How did you make the situation this bad?
You should've told me right away when you found out that King Taejo's jar was broken.
If we had shown the broken piece to the King, Prince Gwang Hae would've been chased out a long time ago.
And, now we've even got Yoo Eul Dam to take care of.
And at the end, at the end,
I'm very disappointed in you.
Even just on this, you are below Eul Dam.
Never mind Eul Dam, you even lost to that girl.
The food is coming!
I welcome you coming back to life.
I'll treat you today.
Eat a lot. Hurry and eat.
I heard that Prince Gwang Hae caused it?
Yeah, he did.
And because of him, he made the prison more comfortable.
So, after that...
tell the Prince about our Tae Do.
Ahjussi, previously you told us that it's better to not get involved with the higher class.
Hey, it's the Prince, the Prince.
In our situation, do you think it's easy to get a connection like that?
What's great about him? Having no strength and telling lies.
Our Orabeoni is way better.
Whatever the situation is, don't leave, okay?
Should I not leave?
Yeah, don't leave.
What are you doing?
Your Father's glass is empty.
Okay, the daughter will pour a glass.
-Okay, okay. -And, hurry and feed him.
How great.
You're so pretty.
-You're so pretty. -It's sweet, right?
I heard that Prince Gwang Hae is bringing Yoo Eul Dam back.
- Right. I'll wager Yoo Eul Dam will soon be the new Chief Artisan!- Can he or not?
Then are you saying Lee Kang Cheon is going down?
Honestly, he has stayed at the top too long.
Compared to every one else, Lord Lee is the most caustic and unkind.
Yoo Eul Dam is easy to work with and naturally more comfortable.
I pick him!
I'm good at judging people.
Be careful with that.
What are you doing.. Hwa Ryeong.
I'm sorry for not visiting you all this time, Teacher
This person is the head of the merchants I work with.
You came unannounced. But what is all this?
I should have visited earlier, but now I finally visit.
You were Hwa Ryeong's teacher.
Since I am so thankful that you taught her well like this,
please accept this.
I don't need these things. However, since we're meeting under these circumstances, would you grant me a favor?
I will try to pay the girl's debt, so
please let release the child.
Hwa Ryeong!
You are here?
How long has it been?
Are you coming back to our house again?
Come back? So only two of us will live here? Teacher isn't going to be here.
What about Father?
Teacher has decided to leave.
What?
I am thinking of bringing Yoo Eul Dam back to the Bunwon Kiln.
If I had had the opportunity, I would've studied under him from the beginning.
Artisan Yoo will be crafting the royal tea cups.
There is no one more important to me than Ceramicist Yoo Eul Dam.
That's why you are below Eul Dam.
Instead of me, my father was trapped in the room with his tears.
Never mind Eul Dam,
when you lost to that girl.
Ma Poong.
We should have ended it long ago.
We must do it today.
Kill it.
Only if Eul Dam dies,
can I live.
~Preview~
We'll send you away without any pain.
Father!
Do you know what sin your father committed?
I will become the best artisan in this dynasty.
Do you think that's as simple as it seems?
I am asking if you are going to apologize then.
You really take after your father.
That girl is a fake.
I saw that man's face.
Enough to kill her?
Jung Yi died? That's not possible.
Bring more appetizers for the drinks.
Do you know what this is?
Someone is fishy in Bunwon kiln.
What do I have to do in order to meet Prince Gwang Hae?
I can't personally take you there, so...
I will not leave without anything.
