Episode 17
Mom!
Hide here.
Aren't you bastards afraid of the heavens?
This child didn't do anything wrong.
You're going to harm an innocent child?
Be quiet!
Be quiet and join the others in the underworld.
Retreat!
Everyone, retreat!
Father.
Father!
Father.
Where are you going, prince?
I'm going to Ichunseong right away
to cut off Ga Ryeom's head.
No, you can't do that, prince.
In order to cover up his crimes,
he took these innocent people's lives.
How can I forgive him.
He's a beast.
- He's worse than a beast! - Prince!
Prince, think about the Yodongseong battle.
You got so mad just like this then.
Don't you remember what happened?
Don't let your emotions get in the way.
Be patient for a while.
Think about officer Hwang Hoe and these people first.
Prince...
Prince, if you rush off and kill Ga Ryeom,
who do you think will pay for it?
Who else?
Hwang Hoe and these people will have to pay for it.
Prince, over there.
Elder,
are you seriously injured?
If you relocate now...
We've no desire to stay here anymore.
Hey!
If you leave,
who will clear officer Hwang Hoe's name?
If it's only my life that had to be sacrificed,
I would most gladly give it up.
But,
I can't let all these people die
by the swords of Ga Ryeom's men.
If we didn't come here,
this wouldn't have happened.
We don't blame you, prince.
But,
how can we to sacrifice the lives of these young people?
Please look at them.
They lost everything.
Unless their families can come back from the dead...
you won't be able to change the minds of these people.
Let's go.
Elder.
Prince.
Please take good care of yourselves.
I'm sorry for not being able to protect you.
Let's go.
You can't just let them leave, prince.
They could be our last hope in saving officer Hwang Hoe!
Prince.
They could be killed while they are wandering like that, prince.
Let them go.
What?
Prince... Prince!
It's our fault.
We were just thinking of our goals and we neglected to protect them.
We've no right to stop them.
Take a good look.
When the country can't care for its people,
the people will abandon their homes...
and will leave...
abandoning their own country.
What should we to do now?
I'm going...
to go back to Ichunseong.
What?
I'm going to comfort these souls with Ga Ryeom's blood.
Let's go!
Yes!
My lord!
What has happened?
While we were attacking the village, enemies appeared.
Enemies?
They shot arrows well.
Do you think it was Prince Damdeok?
Prince Damdeok?
Impossible.
In that case, who else would come to save those people?
It can't be.
He's sick man lying in bed. How...
I'll have to confirm this myself.
We're in trouble.
Ga Ryeom and his men are heading this way.
Ga Ryeom?
The prince?
No news yet.
What to do?
Move!
You guys!
Who am I? How dare you try to stop me?
Aren't getting out of the way right now?
I've to see the prince right now!
You guys!
You've to pretend to be the prince first.
I won't let them see you.
Okay.
You guys!
Not going to move?
The prince is ill,
what's all the commotion?
Yes, I came to see the prince.
The prince had ordered that no one's allowed in except the doctor,
have you forgotten?
And right now, we still don't know why he's sick.
For that, I'm going in with a doctor to see.
You're committing lese-majesty right now.
Are you going to take whatever responsibility?
If anything happens to the prince while he's in Ichunseong,
all of that's my responsibility.
I'm just fulfilling my duties.
Lord Ga Ryeom.
Lord Ga Ryeom!
P... Prince.
What is it?
Yeon Salta,
I told you not to let in whoever it is.
I'm sorry, prince.
Do you have something to say?
N... No.
Your men wouldn't let me in.
I felt I had to see if you're alright to set my mind at rest.
You've seen me, you can go now.
Don't forget that excessive concern can be harmful.
I'm sorry.
You're sick, you left the door open?
Even if it's stuffy, don't go outside.
The night air isn't good for you, prince.
He must have sensed something.
I'm sure Prince Damdeok went to Darichon.
I put my guard down thinking that the prince was sick.
What should we do now?
If the Darichon people see Prince Damdeok again...
Don't have to worry.
It's over when we eliminate the witness.
I'll write you a letter,
send someone to Gungnaeseong with the letter to my brother, Ga Raji.
I got it.
And when is the prime minister coming?
We received news that he had left Gungnaeseong.
Did you tell him Prince Damdeok's sick?
Yes, he's coming with a court doctor.
With the prime minister coming,
Prince Damdeok can't fake his illness for long.
You, meanwhile,
be sure to observe Prince Damdeok well until then.
Especially the prince's men, watch them very closely.
Yes, my lord.
Go to Gungnaeseong palace and meet with Prince Dammang.
Ask him to search for evidence in Hwang Hoe's ledger.
- Yes. - He'll help you.
- Get going. - Yes, prince.
Prince Damdeok seems to have sensed what happened 3 years ago.
The people who lived in Sangchunkkol at the time,
Prince Damdeok has found them.
We tried to solve the problem,
but Prince Damdeok got in the way.
Hyungnim, you've to help us.
If Hwang Hoe could be silenced forever,
everything will be buried in the past.
Hwang Hoe...
That punk in prison...
We're going to build the road through that mountain.
Doing that will shorten the road by at least 4 km.
The progress's faster than I expected.
We could move faster when the compensation from Houyan is paid.
Is that's all?
When Houyan pays, you'll have more authority.
The people will praise you highly.
You can say that after we receive Houyan's compensation.
Nothing ever goes wrong with your plans.
Right? I'm sure everything will turn out well.
Anyway, good job.
I'm relieved now that I've seen the site.
Prime Minister,
I only want to repay you for all the kindness you've shown me.
[Zhongsan, capital of Houyan]
These horses were ridden by Goguryeo envoys.
They are tired,
give them plenty of straw and wash their backs.
Wait!
Why did they come here?
Tell me at once.
That's none of your business.
What?
You were stripped of your position,
how dare you hit me now?
Did you forget what happened last time?
Stop it! What are you doing?
I asked you why they came.
Why do you think they came?
They came for the compensation.
The crown prince's going to be mad again.
Take off your clothes.
I said, take them off.
What on earth are you talking about? [Iyeong]
You never saw such an agreement?
Isn't that the Houyan crown prince's seal on it?
Is this really your seal on it?
No.
It's not my seal.
That's nonsense.
It's not his seal!
Your Majesty.
The Goguryeo envoys are right now
implicating the crown prince with a forged agreement using a fake seal.
I know because I was there.
It's true they did offer the agreement.
Goguryeo made all sorts of threats,
but the crown prince didn't stamp his seal.
What are you trying to do?
Take a good look!
Crown prince.
Stamp your seal.
Take a look, Your Majesty.
The seal on that Goguryeo agreement is a fake one.
The letterings are currently different from the crown prince's seal.
That can't be!
You must have made a new seal.
Take a look.
How can you explain this?
This is the Goguryeo agreement which Goguryeo sent.
It's the same as the one you brought.
I did tell the prime minister of Goguryeo
that Houyan wouldn't make any type of compensation whatsoever.
How dare you come here with a ridiculous fake agreement?
I really don't believe those people.
Sir,
the prime minister's son, master Ko Un, sent me.
Really?
Why on earth did they go to Goguryeo? Clearly not for friendly relations.
Then, the agreement that they had made,
how can we expect them to keep it?
Clearly not for friendly relations?
They actually came to interfere with the talks between Goguryeo and Beiwei.
They were at war with Beiwei at the time.
But, the battle with Beiwei have ended and they got everything they wanted.
There is no way they would pay compensation to an enemy country.
What can we do?
If you want the Houyan emperor to keep his promise again,
you've to be prepared to make a sacrifice.
It might even cost you your life, who knows?
If you come to Houyan again without such a resolution,
you'll be embarrassed.
You!
Who are you to enter in here,
you dare to enter when the envoys are here?
I did it for Houyan's sake,
I had to stop you from paying compensation to Goguryeo.
Just kill me, Your Majesty!
What's with that agreement you had?
I knew the Goguryeo people would come,
so I thought I should have one prepared beforehand.
Then,
how come the letterings on this seal look different?
To make the letterings on the seal look different,
I made some grooves in the prop under the paper.
Good thinking,
but it's only a temporary way out.
The prime minister of Goguryeo
isn't an easy target to handle.
But, Your Majesty,
this matter with the prime minister of Goguryeo,
he can't say a thing in regards to the actual truth.
For covering up the truth,
he would be accused of treason because of that.
That's right.
Yes.
He negotiated the agreement using the prince's life.
Because of the prime minister,
there could be a major disturbance within Goguryeo in future.
Once he started to cover up the incident,
he'll go on lying, trying to keep this incident hidden.
You shouldn't be rotting in the stable.
During this period, did you reflect on your actions?
Your Majesty,
then...
are you going to forgive me?
Forgiving you?
I'm just giving you a chance.
If want to save your life...
and restore your pride,
this will be your last chance.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
[Prince Dammang's quarters, Gungnaeseong]
That punk Ga Ryeom,
tried to embezzle all the money he should be paying the people, is it?
Yes, Your Highness.
He's a very evil person, prince.
I just have to find a list of the goods that were sent from the palace to Ichunseong.
I'll contact you, so just wait for a while.
Yes, Your Highness.
I'll go and see Hwang Hoe for a while.
Hwang Hoe.
Hwang Hoe!
Well, you...
Who's there?
- Yeo Seokgae. - Hwang Hoe. Hwang Hoe.
Are you alright?
- What's this? - Who's there?
As you can see here,
but I don't think there's any secret storage in Ichunseong.
Yes.
When we check out a suspicious place,
it's just a shed or lockup for prisoners.
Here's a record of their movements during this period.
It says here cow carts.
How long did they move with the cow carts?
They have been moving for a few days now.
However, it looks like they were moving construction material.
If cow carts...
Prince, didn't we see one two nights ago?
Moving of construction materials...
they don't need that many guards.
Then?
Prince!
What is it?
The prime minister's here in Ichunseong.
What? The prime minister?
A court doctor came with the prime minister.
They are heading this way.
What should we do, prince?
We won't be able to move about easily with the prime minister here.
Tonight will be our last chance.
Yes, good.
Is Prince Damdeok feeling better?
I wasn't able to see him.
Is that so?
He came to investigate my crime,
but, he can't do anything now as he's lying sick in bed.
Your crime?
My only crime was to obey your command
and advance the project schedule at a faster speed.
You can't call that a crime. [Yeon Dobu]
That's nonsense.
Right?
Goodness, well...
Please accept a drink from me, Prime Minister.
You're doing a good job with this project.
When this project comes to an end,
I'll ask His Majesty to promote you.
Thank you, Prime Minister.
I'm honored.
Prime Minister.
What's going on? I can hear your laughter outside.
I was worried when I heard that you were sick.
How are you?
Not well.
Then, should I call the court doctor?
I'm not well... that's probably because of you.
Your Highness.
Prime Minister,
do you happen to know what's in the wine?
This wine?
It holds the blood of the people.
Prime Minister, can't you see it?
Are you looking for Prince Damdeok's men?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I went around Ichunseong, listening to the voices of the people.
They were suffering from the tyranny of the Ichunseong lord, Ga Ryeom.
It's all written here.
Take a look.
Ga Ryeom,
what was recorder here, is it true?
Let me see.
Look here.
Yes.
- Do you people live in Cheongunkkol? - Yes!
Since August 15 and up to now, did you work and get paid for it?
Yes, we did!
- What about you? - Yes, we were paid.
Now, is there anyone who wasn't paid?
There wasn't.
Are you satisfied now, prince?
No.
- They were never once been paid. - Hey, Salta!
You shouldn't lie!
I'm not lying, father.
- I confirmed it myself. - Be quiet!
Stop being so rash.
The prince can't investigate properly if you're not helpful.
Do you still have anything more to investigate, prince?
I'll check.
Let them through!
These people are afraid of what might happen to them.
They are lying.
I can't let this go.
This is a large project.
There will be a lot of talk.
If we get involved in every little matter,
how are we to carry on with national policy?
Little matter?
How can the sufferings of the people be a little matter?
Prince.
Move.
My lord.
Robbers have infiltrated the fortress, they have been captured.
Really?
- Uncover the cart! - Yes!
- What's this? Capture them! - Yes!
Stand back.
What's going on?
You're...
Aren't they your men?
What are they doing now, prince?
That's right. They killed our soldiers.
They hid in the cart and tried to steal the country's goods.
We didn't kill anyone.
We only knocked them out temporarily.
What's going on now?
Do you know what's going on?
Did you happen to order them to investigate?
No, it was our doing.
That's right, Prime Minister.
The prince doesn't know anything.
Please kill me.
I told them to.
But, I'll accept any punishment.
Prince,
do you know you're exceeding your authority right now?
Ichunseong lord, Ga Ryeom,
is only carrying out a project under the king's command.
Suspecting people who work under the king's command
and interfering with their work is high treason.
Do you know that?
It's all my fault.
The prince doesn't know anything!
The prince didn't do anything wrong!
This issue won't be overlooked.
I'll report this to the king and you'll be punished for this.
Prime Minister!
The prince will be punished for this.
And now this means Hwang Hoe...
will also be receiving punishment as well.
Darn it!
Prince.
Okay, it's over.
Send the people home now.
Yes!
Go home, everyone!
Hurry, leave!
Hey!
Are you alright?
I'm alright.
It's you.
Who are you?
Your eyes...
They have been like this for 2 to 3 years now.
Then, how can you drive a cart?
The cow knows the way, what's there to worry?
The cows may be slow,
but these cows are smart.
- Tie and lock them up! - Yes!
- Tie them up! - Yes!
Stop!
Prince, you still won't give up?
Did you say you need evidence?
Prince,
what on earth are you planning to do?
What exactly is this kind of evidence?
You and the rest of the people will have to follow this cart.
- Prince, what exactly... - You said you wanted proof.
Just wait.
I'll give you the proof.
Dol Bisu, sit on the cart.
Don't drive the cow, just make it go.
Then, it'll automatically find its way.
Begin.
Yes.
Yeon Salta.
Yes?
Escort lord Ga Ryeom well.
Yes.
Who's there?
Prince Damdeok and the prime minister are here.
Everyone. stand back.
Where is the key?
That cow must have felt the resentment of the people.
It didn't forget its way and showed us Ga Ryeom's crime.
This probably paid for the wine you drank.
It's the tears and blood for the people who were forced to do hard labor.
Prince, no!
I didn't do anything wrong.
Also, I don't know anything about the goods here.
Prince, please believe me.
I can imagine how much the people are suffering because of your project.
Ichunseong's the center of that project and look what's happening here.
Prime Minister! Prime Minister, I didn't do anything wrong.
The prince must be mistaken.
Prime Minister.
So this is the result of putting someone close in charge.
I'm sure you're realizing it a lot.
Prince.
Let's go!
Comforting the Darichon people and Hwang Hoe,
I don't know whether this is enough.
Ga Ryeom deserves to die.
Let's go.
We've to save Hwang Hoe.
Prince!
Prince. We're in trouble, prince.
What is it?
Officer Hwang Hoe...
What about Hwang Hoe?
What?
Hwang Hoe...
