Episode 22
No entry!
I have to deliver an urgent message to my chief who is inside!
No!
Gil...!
- Hey! Hey! - Stop making noise and go away!
It's a girl! Take her away!
- I love you! I love you! - Shut up!
Let me go! I have to go inside! I love you! I love you!
Dummy?
That was Yi Nok for sure!
Why is she...?
- You may not leave. - I will be back soon.
His Majesty has prohibited everyone from leaving the palace.
- Let go of me! - Shut up!
Where are you going to take me!
- It is Her Majesty, the Queen! - Your Majesty!
I have forgotten something!
We do not have time. Let's go!
Where is she going in such a hurry?
The queen and the concubines have all left.
Then it is time for me to leave as well.
Bring the item we prepared to distract them.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Doe Eyes was in the palace? It can't be!
It was Yi Nok. She called me by our secret code.
- What was that? - None of your business.
If she's here, that means something is wrong.
I'll go look for her. Take care of things here.
As planned, we start when Yeon Ssi's explosive goes off.
They will have prepared explosives.
Even if we don't start the fire, they'll be setting themselves on fire.
Blow up the south gate so that the prince's forces can enter the palace.
Take the rest to the hall where the exorcism ceremony is being held. Let's move!
Get her!
Dummy, where are you?
There's oil here too!
Why is there oil everywhere?
And those ladies seemed to be running away.
I have to meet Gil Dong!
Gil Dong!
So it was you!
What's going on?
Your plan has been uncovered!
The king knows you are here!
What?
And there's oil all over the palace.
That crazy king...!
I saw the queen and the concubines leaving the palace.
I think something big is going to happen.
What is the king planning on doing?
That insane king wants to burn us up with the palace!
What's that?
The king's toilet.
What?
He's so lucky. He can go wherever he wants!
We're up next. Get ready.
He shouldn't be on the can for too long.
How humiliating to be forever known as the king who was deposed while taking a dump!
Let's go.
Get ready. Mal Nyeo...
If we survive this...
Let's set off the explosions of love for real.
Can you handle it, Half-balls?
I hate it when you call me that!
If we live through this, I'll think about it.
I'm definitely going to survive this just for that moment!
Explosions of love!
I was wondering if anyone would attack me, but they're all worthless!
- You got the blacksmith out, right? - Yes.
We have to keep him alive. He is the key to uncover Chang Hui's plan.
Chang Hui, now you will become the monster instead of me!
You're going to be the madman who burnt up the palace and killed all the officials and Hwal Bin Dang!
We will soon come across the Capital Guard.
Hwal Bin Dang will go ahead and clear the roads.
You and your men should head for the palace.
The palace is an oil well. If there is a fire, it will go up in flames.
Shouldn't we warn everyone to leave?
In the commotion to escape, people will burn alive.
We have to do something before the king does.
First, we have to stop them from setting off the explosives!
If you go to the South Gate,
Yeon Ssi and Gomi will be installing the explosives.
If that goes off, we're finished! We have to stop them.
You can do it, right?
I can do it.
I'll run faster than an arrow and stop them.
Good. I'll go and stop the king.
We're doing this together just like when we went tiger-hunting.
I respect you.
Good luck!
Damn it! He's gone already!
Strike!
Let's start.
Stop!
- Yi Nok! - Noona!
You can't set off the explosives! The king found out and poured oil all over!
It's you!
I knew you were mad,
but I didn't know you were insane enough to set fire to your own house, Your Highness!
All of you, Hwal Bin Dang and Chang Hui must be destroyed so that my insanity can be cured!
First you tried to kill the prince by setting fire to the Dowager Queen's palace.
But now you want the whole palace to go up in flames?
You must really like playing with fire.
That's right!
My insanity began when the Dowager Queen's palace went up in flames.
When he sees the palace burn,
do you think Chang Hui will go crazy too?
Will my insanity be transferred to him?
The prince will never go insane like you.
Because I will guard him!
I heard you practice magic. Try and call the rains to come!
The moment I step across that gate, this place will become a sea of fire!
Will His Majesty be able to contain the coup?
Or will the prince depose him?
I can't predict the outcome at all!
Yes, in this kind of situation, I have no choice but to straddle the fence!
If His Majesty wins, then I'll just...
I'll just continue being the core of all power.
And if the prince succeeds in his coup,
I'll run to him and tell him I was the one that warned everyone of the danger!
Right... I will remain the core of all power!
I will keep it!
The core of all power!
It's mine!
Don't just say you'll guard him.
Do it in action!
Your father said that you were going to raise a king that the people wanted!
He said I wouldn't never be able to defeat you!
He's wrong!
The moment I step over that gate,
all of you will turn into ash!
The rain clouds are coming!
The anger against you has gathered to become rainclouds.
And in order to depose you and your insane world,
the rainclouds are coming!
Where?
Don't you hear the sound, Your Majesty?
Attack!
- Let us help Hwal Bin Dang and fight! - Let's fight!
Let us depose the king and raise our own!
He is guilty of murdering the late king and queen!
We will depose the cruel tyrant who cares nothing for his own people!
We will acknowledge the legitimate prince as our king according to the will of the late king!
Everyone is heading here so that they can get rid of you!
Try and leave the palace if you can.
But the world out there no longer belongs to you!
You wretched boy!
This palace is the last of your world.
And we have come to bring the end to it!
Start the fire! Hurry!
Kill that wretch!
Your Majesty.
Your world has come to an end.
Start the fire!
Destroy everything!
We have to create a new world!
Start the fire!
They were going to set the palace on fire.
Seize them and take them away!
Yes, sir!
Let me go!
So you were on the prince's side?
He is no longer the prince, but our king!
Then what will happen to me? Save me!
Think about our friendship! Help me!
You cannot have any visitors and you are prohibited from leaving this room.
Hwal Bin Dang has deposed the king and raised a new one!
The new king will rule for our benefit!
According to the will of the late king...
We will acknowledge the legitimate prince as the true king!
We will serve you with all of our loyalty!
Your Majesty!
What the hell do we do...? Your Majesty...!
The people greet the new king!
Do not forget the hope with which the people look at you.
Become a great king, Your Majesty!
This is just the beginning.
If you become a king that we can respect,
then I will kneel before you.
I will earn your respect and become a king that you will kneel before!
I swear it.
We are definitely lucky.
Didn't we fight and win safely?
Of course! We're Hwal Bin Dang!
Fighting!
What?
You're Hwal Bin Dang too!
But I'm not anymore...
Then you can be Lifesaver Hwal Bin Dang!
Yes, you can come only when we need help!
That's alright, isn't it?
Thanks, everybody!
You're our Lifesaver Hwal Bin Dang!
It's an important role, so come visit us often!
Everyone misses you.
And we've got so many potatoes left over!
I just...
Miss Yi Nok!
What are you doing dressed like that?
I just...
Yi Nok saved everyone today.
You have done a reckless thing.
We will have to answer to your grandfather.
Please come with me.
Alright.
I'll be on my way.
Oh that's right. Doe Eyes is going to be the queen.
She looks like a lamb going for slaughter.
Did you come to the palace to fight alongside him?
I heard of your great contribution.
I'm sorry I caused you to be in danger, and I'm thankful you're safe.
Ryu Yi Nok was so stupid she could not even memorize verses she read twenty times.
But for the first time since I became her, I was lucky and talented again.
When I used to fight with Gil Dong, I used to be lucky and talented enough to hunt tigers!
I had forgotten that.
I will never let myself forget that again.
Do you think you'll forget it if you are with me?
I have always thought that if you were with me, I could be lucky and talented.
But you... Do you think you'll forget that instead?
Actually...
I am afraid that I would become an unlucky and useless person,
doing things that I wasn't suitable or capable of doing.
It scares me.
What can I do so that you are not scared?
Let's think on it a bit more.
The prince's army will be sufficient from this moment on.
We leave tomorrow.
But we should stay for the coronation!
The prince said that the coronation will be performed in front of everyone,
so you can watch.
How can Gil Dong watch that?
It will be a coronation and a wedding ceremony.
Doe Eyes as Queen?
Our country is really going to the dumps!
It doesn't suit her.
No, it does.
She is the kindest and purest queen we can ask for to rule our new world.
I am the one who made this coup possible!
I risked my life to escape so that I could warn the prince!
How surprising that you took it upon yourself to help us!
Yes.
So please include my name on your list of candidates for office.
On the first row, if you please.
Lord Ryu Young Ho will be in charge of all preparations of the coronation.
Before that, we must obtain a writ of abdication from the deposed king.
I will find someone to handle that task.
Is this the list of all the scholars and officials who supported the coup?
Yes, if you can choose your ministers based on that list...
I have no plan to rush the appointment of the government positions.
I told you that I would not use someone simply because they supported my cause.
Amongst this list are men that change sides easily.
I will separate those men out.
We will open the palace gates and allow the people to attend the coronation ceremony.
But that is lowering the dignity of the throne!
I care more about being with my people than the dignity of the throne.
How can His Majesty ignore the scholars who risked their lives for him.
I am certain he plans on using that Hwal Bin Dang and other riff-raff in government!
First, we must remove Hwal Bin Dang's forces out of the palace.
What if those lowly peasants are given positions in the palace?
The prince has not yet been coronated.
He will realize something before that happens.
Do you really have no desire to serve under me in government?
I told you I didn't.
I'm going to be one of the citizens who criticized the King while eating soup and rice.
You have plenty of men who can serve you.
Will you leave without watching the coronation?
If we stay here, the nobles will say that we have invaded the palace.
That will put you in an awkward position.
The people will be hoping for a half-blood like you to be promoted to a government position.
They will consider that the first sign of a new world.
The world does not change in a day.
And even if it does, someone will always be hurt.
There is no such thing as a world in which everyone is laughing.
So just as I was with them when I was born,
I will live the rest of my life fighting in the midst of them.
Then in order to please the Hong Gil Dong that lives and watches me amongst them,
I must become a good king.
I will remain a man who fights, and watch you.
Do you have any other requests or advice?
One thing...
Please save my brother's life.
He has not done anything to be executed. He will most likely be exiled.
Aren't you going to ask me about anyone else?
She is not someone I can make a request for.
She is the strongest and most respected person I know.
I will trust that person will always be safe.
You will soon learn royal customs and etiquette.
How to walk and how to talk... All of these will be taught with much discipline.
Madam Noh, I mean Lady Noh...
Do you really think I can be a queen?
I've been thinking about this a lot, and I don't think that's possible.
Why are you doing that?
Please, I beg you.
Please stay with him.
Lady Noh!
He has been lonely all of his life.
I know.
Because of our plans for the future,
he has never been able to smile in ease.
I am filled with sorrow because of that.
He may have to go through the greatest suffering in his life, so please stay with him.
I'll try.
And now that I've said I would try, I will really try my best.
So what if she's queen?
The only water that can put out the explosions of love in her is Gil Dong.
Are you here because you're worried about Doe Eyes?
Of course I'm worried! She'll have to live on with her thirst unquenched!
Mal Nyeo, speaking of thirst...
You know that promise we made...
You know that promise! I felt the hot sparks of love at that moment.
So you know... Damn it, now I'm thirsty.
Give me some wine.
Are you still thirsty?
It's not enough!
I hope in this new world, the people won't need Hwal Bin Dang!
So what do we do now?
Then should we make a farm? Till the field and sow seeds?
Day and night! What about it, Mal Nyeo...?
- I guess the explosions of love finally went off. - Yes, they really went off!
What? What?
You're so obvious!
- Am I? - Yes.
You're not Half-Balls. You're Half-Brain!
I'm sorry, Gil Dong. I shouldn't be so obvious for your sake.
You're not only being obvious, you're rubbing salt in my wounds!
- You're sorry, my ass. - That is why I have this idea.
Kidnap Doe Eyes and run away to China!
Come back when you have three kids.
- By then he'll have twelve wives and thirty kids! - Forty.
We'll build a playground for your children and wait for you to come back.
Since you're Gil Dong (East), you can name your kids Gil Nam(S), Gil Buk(N), Gil Suh(W).
They can join Hwal Bin Dang too.
Gil Dong is enough for Hwal Bin Dang. Be satisfied with him.
Maybe those two aren't meant to be together.
Well, unless their parents suddenly become someone different, they can't be together.
When your world comes...
... then you can come visit me and my grave.
Before you create this world, do not appear before me!
Father...!
Be realistic, Your Majesty.
I do not think this is impossible.
You cannot ignore status when you appoint men for government positions.
I said I will begin with positions that require special abilities like the Ministry of Justice.
Is it your plan to give Hong Gil Dong the position of Justice Minister as what the people hope?
I wanted to. If it were possible.
He didn't even bow his head before you!
He said he wanted to remain a citizen.
A citizen? That's right. He is the citizens' King!
The people will come to the coronation not to see you, but Hong Gil Dong and Hwal Bin Dang!
You are merely a puppet that they raised!
Those words cannot be uttered by a subject to his king!
I think you are a king that was raised by Hong Gil Dong that can be felled at any time!
Lord Ryu!
Your cause is the Sa Yin Sword, something that the people cannot question!
And only the scholars and the royal family can guard the sword!
If you know the worth of that sword, then obey me whom the late king chose as king!
What brings you here?
You saved my father.
He's your father. I was worried about you.
You are foolish.
Why have you done such a thing for me?
Miss Eun Hye...
I'm sorry.
And thank you.
You must have the deposed king executed.
After you have obtained the Writ of Abdication, you must remove him completely.
I do not wish to do this. It will become a heavy burden for me.
Your Majesty...!
He has come to his downfall after killing his own flesh and blood.
He became like that after he killed my father, mother and me.
I do not wish to become like him.
Your Majesty, it is time for you to write the Writ of Abdication.
Councilor, you used to be the core of all power in my government.
But it seems that you have been pushed aside.
If you let me meet with Chang Hui,
I will give you the key to be the core of all power again.
Your Majesty...
What will you do?
Do you want to make a deal with me?
I meet my brother, and you will keep the power.
How...?
I had someone imprisoned secretly.
He holds the secret to return everything to the way it was.
So this is the blacksmith His Majesty was referring to.
But is that really true...?
So that blacksmith knew an astounding fact!
To think that the Sa Yin sword was a fake!
The prince doesn't know it yet. That will make the secret a dangerous weapon.
Yes...
So that Hong Gil Dong knew this and yet...
He ignored it. I can become the core of all power again!
That's right.
Yes, you have a great weapon in your hands.
I thought you would never come here again.
This is the last time.
Thank you for telling Yi Nok about the trap.
I think you're amazing.
I've become a fool because of love.
That's why I came to ask for the last time.
Accept me.
Please accept me.
I have never lost something I wanted.
I don't know how to be rejected and I don't know how to recover when I am.
So accept me.
I don't know what I will do if you don't.
Take me so that I don't.
I told you that I felt sorry for you when we first met.
But now I feel more sorry.
You left before you heard me tell you that when I can't have something, I break it.
This is the end!
No matter what, you must have Hong Gil Dong killed!
Eun Hye, you've finally come to your senses!
I will use the secret of the Sa Yin sword as my weapon.
Then I will reclaim my position and power and get rid of that Hong Gil Dong at the same time!
I have thought about the most cruel method of killing him.
It will cause him the most pain if he is executed by the king he put on the throne!
I will take you to the prince today.
And that blacksmith, Your Majesty...
I will take good care of him.
You have power in your hands. Use it well.
You will be able to use it any way you wish!
Just like how you used it to control me after you helped me set fire to the queen's palace!
- Make sure of it! - Your Majesty!
Your Highness, the king would like to meet you before he abdicates the throne.
Me?
He said that he wanted to reveal everything about the death of your mother.
Bring him to me.
Now I will finally find peace.
So you have finally pushed me aside to take the throne.
I did not push you aside.
I simply reclaimed my rightful place.
Your rightful place? Yes, that's right.
That is what you have believed all your life.
You believed that this is your rightful place.
Both of us believed in that sword that our father supposedly inscribed.
I heard that you were going to tell me about the people involved in my mother's death.
Yes, I have come here to talk about your mother.
I came here to talk about your mother,
a woman who was capable of everything to make her son king!
The biggest culprit behind her death was that Sa Yin sword!
The fake Sa Yin sword she made!
What do you mean by that?
There was no inscription on the Sa Yin sword Father made!
We were all pawns in a game!
We were all trapped in her web of lies and I became like this.
But you, you lived your entire life seeking revenge because that's what you thought Father wanted.
It was not me that became insane with power. It was you!
Do you really think that I'll believe that?
Who was the one who told you about the inscription?
It wasn't Father, was it?
You would have heard about the inscription only after Father's death.
After that fake sword was made!
This sword is inscribed with a secret message from the king stating you are his rightful heir!
That is what the War Minister told me!
The War Minister and the Dowager Queen had agreed to make his daughter as queen.
I think her name was Ryu Yi Nok.
What did your mother say to you before she died?
Did your power-hungry mother urge you to seek the throne even as she burned?
Do not insult my mother!
My mother... My mother as...
Do not forget that you are the rightful heir of this country!
My son!
Spend your entire life seeking revenge and blood!
Run towards the crown!
Is that what she told you?
What a cruel woman she was!
Impossible!
My mother couldn't have done such a thing!
She was capable of anything in order to make her son the king.
For me?
Chang Hui, you were just a pawn in a power struggle.
Your mother created a fake sword and claimed that it was the real thing!
And in order for that to be believed, Father had to die.
The Dowager Queen...
... killed Father for you.
My mother...
- ... killed Father... - For you!
Chang Hui... My son...
- Your Highness! - Mother!
Is it true?
Is everything true?
We did it to justify the claiming of the throne by the only legitimate prince!
Please do not forget that your justification was created by your mother and us.
Please know that we can risk our lives even to inscribe a few characters!
Everything was a lie...
Mother... What must I do now?
If I try really hard, can I really become a queen like the prince's mother?
Then get rid of that Sa Yin sword!
We can't do that.
He has the people behind him who chose him.
If he has faith in that, he doesn't need the sword anymore.
That sword was his justification and cause.
To let go of that means letting go of everything else.
We'll protect him. Because we chose him as our king.
We'll protect him.
I'm really going to make an effort.
Because I have to stay here.
Because I'm Ryu Yi Nok.
I know.
But you didn't need to tell me that.
I'm in pain too.
But if I...
If I really can't bear it anymore...
Can... can I go to you?
No.
You have to keep bearing it.
Dummy...
If you come to me, I won't ever let you leave.
So unless you can't stand it to the point where you think you're going to die...
If you can bear it like you are doing now,
then you can't.
I can bear it. I can bear it!
I can bear it. So I can't go now...
I must think about it carefully.
About how to make the prince execute Hong Gil Dong!
I have to think about it carefully.
And when he does...
will I be at peace?
Now that we have a new king, we are no longer criminals!
Now the Capital Army won't pursue us anymore!
That's right.
No more mad king and no more mad chases!
Now we move forward with our new king!
Brother!
I welcome you to this place!
I welcome all of you to a new world!
Is this the end for me?
This is not the end!
This is only the beginning!
Our new king will give us a new beginning!
Even though it may all be a lie, I cannot let it go.
The coronation at this hour?
What about Hwal Bin Dang?
You will be my queen.
I will not let you go!
You will not be in exile for long.
As you did for us when we were exiled to the Dowager Queen's palace.
Please be a good queen and be at his side.
I do not want to fight anymore.
I will continue to fight until the world changes!
We will attack Hwal Bin Dang's mountain hideout!
We will stop the king at our mountain hideout!
