not being detrimental to Your Majesty,
he died.
Say something father!

You did this, Your Majesty.
Father..
I'm Ddolbok from Hanjigol village.
Talk to me!
Tell me who did this to you!
Father!
Yeah, you rascal.
Which bastards?
Which bastards made an innocent guy like you into this?
Who was it? They are the noblemen.
To those bastards...
To them, we are as trivial as fly dung.
These horrible bastards!
There's no way they can do this!
Does it make sense?
Father!
Talk to me...
Aigoo, aigoo!
[Queen Soheon]

I need to see my mother.
[Lee Do; King Sejong]
Your Majesty...
Where are you going?
I will come with you.
[Moo Hyool]
I will go to the prosecutor's office.
You should not.
If Grand King Former finds it out...
Surely I...
Am I not supposed to do anything?
Still...
Still I am...
I...
I am the King.
People are killed like this,
shouldn't they let at least let us know the reason?!?
That's what I'm saying!
What is this?
Are we calves or puppies?
Come on!
Why on earth you slaves are so noisy?
Are we slaves not human?
We are also the people of this country!
These bastards are out of their minds!
A person has died.
Mr. Suk Sam died.

Died?
Damn it.
Hey, take it away!
Let go!
You scum.
Get away!
Let it go. Why won't you let it go?
These damn...
Dahm!

Hey, Ddol Bok!
If you stay, you will die as well.

She is the Queen.
What's happened?
Prisoners escaped from the jail.
What are you doing?
Shouldn't you be catching them then?
Yes!
Let's go!
Catch them! Catch them!
Your Majesty,
it seems that prisoners escaped.
You must return.
Your Majesty!
You cannot be misunderstood by the former king at this point.
You should go.
Help me!
Please save him.
Please save my father.
My father !
Indeed, Your Majesty
cannot do anything?
You should not do anything.
You...
You can't do anything.
Your... Your Majesty!
Save him!
Yes?
That boy...
Save that boy!!
Now.
Hurry!
Yes.
This wretch, where do you think you're running off to?
Let's go quickly.
Who are you?
Let me go! Who are you?
You should escape from here quickly.
Your Majesty...
Please, you must return now.
The boy will be safe, Your Majesty.
So... What are you doing?
[Former King Taejong; Lee Bang Wan]
[Jo Mal Saeng]
Well...
He is a little boy.
He is a slave of the traitor.
He is still young.
He is just an innocent child.
He is a slave of the traitor and
he is the criminal of high treason who escaped the jail.
He is still a young,
immature and innocent child.
He is not only the slave of the traitor,
but also the sinner who escaped the jail and attacked the soldiers.
Bring the boy to kill him!
Being a slave of the traitor is sinful enough. Even more he escaped the jail and
he dared to attack my soldiers.
I am going to decapitate him here.
Now!
Yes!
Do not move!
Even one step!
What?
Bring the boy here to decapitate him, quickly! This is King's command!
Do not pretend to be a King!
The abdicated King is
not the KING!
I AM.
I am the King of Joseon!
You must have gone crazy!
The night
when my maternal uncles were killed.
The night when my mother sobbed her heart out...
I was 11 years old.
It was the day when I started the magic box puzzle (Ma Bang Jin).
I solved the three square box puzzle.
Whenever you, Father...
slaughtered.
I went to the room to solve box puzzles.
So I was solving the 33 box puzzle last night.
I was!
Since you are always running away from things...
I have been trying to understand you, Father!
I have been trying to understand you.
Min Moo-Jil,
Min Moo-Gu, Min Moo-Hyul, and Min Moo-Hwe.
The reason why you killed my uncles of my mother's side.
Young aged Yi Bang-Seok, and Yi Bang-Bun.
The reason why my uncles had to be killed at that young age.
The comrades they shared their dreams with:
Shim Yo-Sang, Yi Geun,
Jang Ji-Hwang,
Jeong Do-Jon.
Son Jeong Yoo.
Jeong Young, Jeong Dahm.
His older brother and their father,
Jeong Do-Jeon.
How dare you mention those traitors' names in front of me?
Yes, Yes, Yes I mean Sam-Bong Jeong Do-Jeon!
I thought
you had different ideas from Jeong Do-Jeon who established the foundations of Joseon!
I thought it was for the sake of creating a new Joseon that is different from the past.
However, I was mistaken.
Father, the reason you have killed those people
was simply because,
you want to seize power only by yourself.
And...
The Joseon that Jeong Do Jeon has created,
was all credited to you.
That man did nothing.
I put Jeong Mong Ju to death.
I went to Ming as a hostage in his place,
I overthrew the King of Goryeo and established my father as the King.
Even if there were many who wanted to kill Jeong Mong Ju,
they couldn't do it due to their excuse of moral duty.
Others,
wouldn't dare to dirty their own hands.
Joseon has been resurrected by me.
I have done it by dirtying my own two hands.
It is only right that I have all the power.
That is my Joseon and my, Lee Bang Won's, great cause!
My great cause is the Joseon's great cause!
My Joseon is different.
It will change.
How will it change?
How will you change it?
Give me your answer.
You have stated, 'My Joseon.'
What kind of Joseon will your Joseon be?
Tell me your answer and your way.
Pathetic punk.
What are you pondering for?
Bring me that child's head.
Right away.
Please cut me down too.
I have protected the slaves of a traitor,
raised the name of Sam Bong,
and challenged your authority; therefore,
slash me too.
If you wish to take that child's life,
just as you killed my uncles and comrades,
take my life too in this place.
You dare to bluff in front of me?
Do you think I won't be able to cut you down?
I will do as you wish.
Moo Hyul!
If I am to be murdered by someone,
your duty will be to behead the subject who has dared to kill the King.
He is my father in blood. However,
Moo Hyul,
impartially, and justly
fulfill your duty.
This is...
the very last command of
King Lee Do, the King who could do nothing.
I will not tolerate failure.
Father, do you remember
the words which you taught me when you gave me Moo Hyul?
Capable of fighting 100 warriors alone,
he is Joseon's
Best Swordmaster.
Do you remember those words?
Warrior Moo Hyul,
without failure, will
carry out your order.

Will you be able to handle it?
Your Majesty!
Why is the door locked?
As the King is still young,
and lacking in wisdom...
Doesn't he have the wisdom of persuasion?
Yes?
Not Zhuxi, nor Confucius, nor any doctrine can persuade me,
only by force could I be persuaded.
Has he maybe realized it too?
Yes, I thought he was a weak person.
At the break of dawn,
command the entire army to take weapons and
gather at Gang Mu Jang.
Your Highness?
This is the solemn command from me.
Who is it?
Who the heck is it?
Who is it?
I am Ddolbok of Hanjigol village.
Who was it? Who ordered you to do this?
My father delivered the letter to the master.
That was all he did!
Then... the court lady whoever came to us saying it was the secret order.
As long as the letter was forwarded to him, she said that we will all survive.
Then this happened!
Who ordered it?
Why?
Why? Who was it?
Who was the bastard?
Hey scum...
Who do you think it was?
Who was it?
It is all the King's order.
King's command!
King's command?
You mean it was the King?
The King or whoever let my father deliver the letter.
You mean the King bastard?
I am gonna kill him!
What a terrible scum! How dare you?
Is the King armoured around his belly?
I will kill him!
I am going to kill the enemy who killed my faher!
His Majesty did it for the great cause.
A brat like you wouldn't know much.
Great cause?
What the hell?
Great cause? What kind of great cause can allow them to kill my father?
My father was a fool.
He went because he was a fool who wanted to save his son.
Even the fool knows how to save his son.
Isn't the King the parent of the people of the country?
So, tell him to stuff the bullshit on great cause.
Tell him to stop bullshit.
Father!
Tell him to stuff it.
Don't bullshit!
Your Majesty, you have to get away from here for now.
The boy needs to be killed.
I understand your great cause but
we're in a situation where it is difficult to predict what the former King will do.
So...
Not only his impolite words and behaviour,
but also he is the son of the slave who forwarded the letter to Shim Ohn.
He may become a source of calamity in the future, so killing him...
He is one of my people.
Yes?
Who I saved, my
first citizen.
He is right.
A King is supposed to save his people.
How am I supposed to be a king?
When everyone died all because of me.
However...
At least I saved him, let him survive!
Therefore, I was the king at that moment.
My first citizen who I saved
and he will be the last I saved.
Yes?
I do not have the answer.
My Joseon that differs from My Father's Joseon.
It is all talk.
I could not answer my father's questions.
Inside me,
there is no answer nor a way.
What are you talking about?
Your Majesty!
That boy could be the only person that I could save among my people.
Therefore, I must save him.
No matter what.
Tell him not to do "Ji-Ral" (Bullshit)
Ji-Ral? Ji-Ral...[ Bullshit ]
It is quite an appropriate word.
All right. I should stop here.
Ji-Ral.
No need to do that.
I don't know what brought you here, but no one cares about it here.
Where am I ?
It is Ban-Chon.
Ban-Chon?[Ban Chon: Where servants of Sunggyungwan reside]
Do you mean I am in Ban-Chon?
Yes.
Where Sunggyungwan's servants live and where shrine of Moon Seong Gong is.
[Moon Seong Gong: Ahn Hyang is a famous Goryeo Neo-Confucian Scholar of Zhu Xi's philosophies]Without King's authority, even the army can't come here,
so take it easy.
Hello.
Hi there.
Did you have the meal?
Yes we did.
Who is he?
A new family member,
get along with him.(In Gae-Sung dialect)
Yes.
Well, today is the first day for the freshmen scholars.
Let's go quickly and not be late.
Yes.
You can go in and have a rest.
Let's go.
Yes.

[Sunggyungwan]
Mountain, mountain. It is a mountain.
(Repeating)
Open.
I would like to do the sauna this time.
I feel so much lower back pain these days. I feel like dying.
Let's go in.
Let's do it.
Is it your first time to see how to make charcoal?
This is where all the resources and food for Sunggyungwan is produced.
We also make charcoal to use here.
Follow me. Let me treat your wound.
Let's go.
There is a King's command that students here be fed with meat especially.
In this castle town, here is the only place where butchery is allowed.
Welcome in.
It is the docor's office. Let's get in.
Please tell me first about why I am here
and who brought me here.
I was going to talk about it this evening.
Doctor Jang!
Are you in?
Come on in.
What a fool!
How come... he left his last will to his son,
who is illiterate?
What do you mean by that?
There is no one?
What do you mean by that?
Royal guards Nae Guem Wii, Gyum Sah Bok,
Woo Lim Wui and Byul Shi Wui, all of the guards
are gathered at Gang Moo Jang according to the command of the former King.
Additionally, all the secretaries have
gathered at the former King's place.
Will you be able to handle it?
It is the price for what happened
last night.
Your Majesty!
Your Highness,
Nae Guem Wui, Byul Shi Wui, Woo Lim Wui, Gyum Sah Bok,
all the royal guards have gathered at Gang Moo Jang.
Is that right?
I got it.
However.
His Majesty brought the Royal seal with him from the office (Gum Suh Chung).
Royal Seal?
Yes, Your Highness.
Moreover, he has ordered the Ohmapae (Badge w/ King's authority) Sangahpae (Badge of entry) and Uhdo(Royal sword) to be brought to him.
Pathetic kid.
Excuse me?
Nothing.
Is Sangseon (superior court officer) here?
What?
What did you just say?
His Majesty...
Yes, he was arranging the Royal Seal, the King's sword and Ivory idenity tag etc.
With the Grand King Former's command, all the royal guards and army all gathered there.
Oh... no way...
As you ordered, food nest boxes are here.
Bring it to the King.
Should I tell Royal Kitchen to put food in the box?
No!
Just give him the empty box.
Your Highness!
You cannot do anything.
Yes, you were right.
Jung Gi Joon,
how come
you already knew all bout it back then?
I can do nothing.
The Queen is coming in.
Hello, Queen.
I have something to ask you.
Go ahead.
Do you have any connection with the prisoner's escape from the jail in Royal Investigation Bureau?
I cannot say that I do not.
Were you there?
Yes.
Have you seen your father since last night?
Yes.
That is why you brought the Royal Seal, the King's sword and idenificaion tag with you?
You are right.
Then... are you going to do things that I assume and are afraid of?
Yes.
I am trying to stop at this point.
Why?
What are you going to do with your Joseon?
I have no answer or method.
I just...
Maybe I just hated my father.
Do you feel regret losing
the Queen's position?
Your Majesty,
Dongbu Dae-eon is here.
What's bring you here?
Your Majesty...
Didn't I ask you why you are here?
The secretary of Sang Wang Jeon (Former King's place) brought this to you.
From Sang Wang Jeon?
What is it?
This is...
No, you shouldn't do this, Your Highness.
Sending the empty box to Dae Jeon (King's place),
then are you not ordering him to kill himself?
Since Lee Do is smart, he will get that meaning.
Your Highness!
Wii's Moo-Jae sent the empty box to Moon Yak
and Moon Yak killed himself. Isn't it from the old story?
Your Highness, that can't be done!
If he understands its meaning that way and kills himself, I can do nothing about it.
Subtitles brought to you by The Deep Rooted Friends Team @viki.com
Th.. This..
An empty food box means
"Don't eat".
Your Majesty!
This can't be!
The price for last night
was as serious as this?
How come your father can do this to you?
What did you do wrong?
How come he goes this far?
Moon Yak also killed himself without doing nothing wrong.
The situation doesn't seem to be much different.
Your Majesty!
Why do we have to come to the shrine?
There isn't even any ritual happening.
What if we got caught here?
Why do you want us to meet you here?
If you go to the smithy in Bok Cheon, there is Lee Yun Doo,
give this to him.
Yes.
Let's go.
Be quiet.
Hey, don't you let me go?
Untie this!
Do you wanna die? Huh?
Untie this!
Don't you hear me?
I told you to untie this!!
Untie this!
Untie this! Don't you hear me?
I told you to untie this!
Today's agenda is two things.
Yes, we will receive your command.
Gae Chul and Mung Boo!
It's been 20 years since Joseon was established.
Although many people were killed,
but our Banchon survived.
Don't you know how we survived?
Please save me.
Please just let me survive.
No, I am not involved. Never!
Year of Mooin (1398).
The night when the former King murdered Sam Bong (Jeong Doh Jeon),
two servants from Banchon were involved.
One servant reported to the former king that Sam Bong was at the cottage of Lord Na Moon.
The other servant reported to Sam Bong that the former King raised the army.
What happened to them?
However...
Stay quiet! The chief is talking to you now!
Because of the issue.
Our Banchon
could have been slaughtered in whole.
We only survived by giving up the corpses of those two servants!
Ever since our Banchon has not been involved in any political issues.
Although we hear things,
see things and know things
we must not remember them.
However, how dare you try to scheme using Sam Bong's book?
But the Lord Sam Bong was killed unfairly.
Shut up!
We Banchon do not judge what is right or wrong.
Gae Chol!
Mung Goo!
Kill yourself!
Stay away! Stay away!
You bastard...
Next, the second agenda.
Let me go!
You must be surpirsed to see these things.
Don't be scared.
I am not scared.
This place is Banchon.
Only trustworthy people can be with us.
As long as you follow our rules,
we are going to protect you to the end.
I also don't want to stay in a place that I can't trust.
Who are you?
What's brought you here?
I clearly told you this afternoon,
you should tell me first.
Who brought me here and what did the person tell you about me?
You little scum.
How dare you talk like that in front of her?
Did you hit me? Huh?
Why don't you tell her who you are?
I am qutie well known to gangsters around here.
If you know my name, you will be suprised and regret it!
What a little scum!
Lady you tell me first!
Who brought me here?
You can't ask me questions!
Then you don't ask me either!
You little brat...
You must want to die!
Ok go ahead and kill me!
I am giving you some advice, you better klll me.
I feel so shitty right now that if I live, I might just demolish this town,
so just kill me.
Do you think I can't kill you?
What is your name and what brought you here?
I am not going to ask you again.
I am not going to ask you again either.
Who brought me here? Huh?
This wretch, really!
Do you want to die?
What is your name?
You said you are not going to ask me again.
What a bastard!
If you can't kill me, then you are a fool.
Why don't you kill me?
Kill me!
KILL ME!
He is extremely tough willed.
Tame him and make him your hand and legs.
I will do as you ask, but
under what circumstances does this child have...
Any unnecessary interest,
throw it away.
Forgive me.
Then, I'm leaving.
If...
you are unable to do the task,
without delay,
you must kill him.
Subtitles brought to you by Deep Rooted Friends Team at viki.com
First, release him.
Advance.
Your Majesty, it is I, Mu Hyul.
I shall enter.
Your Majesty,
I dare suggest that,
you beg for forgiveness.
You must confess your mistake to the former King,
and beg for his forgiveness.
Then... would I live?
Your servant, Mu Hyul has only grasped a sword and fought in battle,
I know nothing about politics and power, only that.
Only?
If this is also a fight,
I suggest that you refrain from acting, and dodge the enemy's attack.
Refrain from acting,
wait until the opportune moment to counter?
What do I have to counter with?
I have no answer.
There's nothing I have
that can counter-
Doesn't this box's shape
resemble the magic square?
Your Majesty.
Right,
why didn't I realize it before?
That's it, that's right!
Is anyone there?
Why?
Why are you being like this?
It's done.
Summing up any row, column and diagonal
becomes One.
33 box puzzle is also very simple.
Using this rule,
arrange 33 box puzzle.
Yes...
Here correctly.
Calculate it!
How is it?
Your Majesty,
after calculating all the rows and columns,
all the value matched to be 17,985.
I have to possess everything.
That is my Joseon and me, Lee Bang Won's great cause!
Lee Bang Won's great cause is the same as Joseon's great cause!
Great cause?
Tell him to shut up!
Ji-Ral (Bullshit)?
Yes,
that was it, that's what it was.
Your Majesty,
what are you trying to do?
Right now, the magic squares isn't the problem, but
the former King is-
I've discovered the meaning of the empty box,
and my answer.
Huh?
All of you clean up the squares, I'm done with them.
Yes.
Moreover, Mu Hyul
go immediately to my chamber and
bring me the Royal Seal, Ivory Badge, the Royal sword, and the Royal Badge.
What are you planning to do?
I have no time. Hurry!
Ready!
Draw!
Shoot!
Good Shot!
Ready!
Draw!
Hold!
What are you doing?
Continue!
Bu-bu-but...
Aim!
Fire!
