Court Lady Choi!
Please go!
Court Lady Choi!I can't go.
Please hurry!
Court Lady Choi!
That child...
Did you order them to kill that child?
Did you?
How dare you!
Lord Lee!
Your Highness!
What's the sound?
Your Highness!
Prepare my horse.
Your Majesty!
Right Now!
Giddy up!
Princess!
Your Majesty!
I heard the Grand Prince died out of breath, locked in a hot room.
It was so painful,
he scratched all over the room and his finger nails are gone.
He was holding this jade pendant.
The jade pendant that Princess Jeong Myeong gave him.
They killed the princess and the Grand Prince.
This resentment...How can we resolve this resentment?
Gwang Hae...
Gwang Hae, this bastard!
Why are you so late?
There are so many things to be taken care of.
Lee I Cheom
Geyok Am, the prediction, Grand Prince and the Princess!
You think it's easy to cover all these matters?
Do you think things will calm down?
We burned the scroll.
Grand Prince and Prince Jeong Myeong died in accidents.
Now the powerless Queen Dowager and the West Faction can't do anything.
But we can't stop all the gossip.
The whole country will talk about how His Majesty killed the Grand Prince and the Princess.
You should have killed Yeong Chang only.
What did you say?
Did I say something wrong?What can a young girl do?
She ran away, you could chase her for a bit and let her go.
Shut up or I'll rip your mouth!
What?
Lee I Cheom, let go of me!
You don't even know what's going on.
Who let her get out of the palace?
Only if you didn't let her...
Stop, you too!
It's not like I'm enjoying what you did.
We could have taken care of things reasonably.
Reasonably?
Lord, do you think His Majesty would be sitting on the throne today?
Pardon?
Wake up, everyone!
Who do you think made only a handful of Daebukpa (Great Northern Faction) and His Majesty to seize the power?
It's me!I, Lee I Cheom made it happen!
The Princess was running away worrying about being exiled.
And died of an accident.It'll be announced like that.
We have cut off the ominous prediction now.
The only thing left is the Queen Dowager.Take care of her as soon as you calm down.
You don't even...
beg for forgiveness in front of me.
I can kill you right now.
I can ask you and Lee I Cheom's sin for killing the Grand Prince and the Princeess.
Then, do as you wish.
As always, I will follow your decision.
However, you already know it.
We did it for you because it's what you need to do sooner or later.
What?
You know it better than anyone. This whole thing was not by choice but to keep the throne.
That's right.
The throne! Just as you said,
let's say this whole thing was not by choice, but to keep the throne.
Do you actually think...
the prediction and Princess threaten me?
Someone who informed me about the prediction, someone who's bold enough to laugh at me and put me on the throne.
You never thought about the person who it was?
Your Majesty.
If that person was also afraid of the prophecy,
and got rid of the source of trouble in advance,
then what do you think that person was aiming for?
Do you understand that?
So, maybe... we were controlled by that person.
You were willing to be a puppet,
and killed the Grand Prince and Princeess Jeong Myeong!
Kang Joo Seon
Lee Deok Hyeong
You don't look so well . . .
Thank you.
Thanks to you, I got out.
It's not really true.
I guess it is His Majesty's intention
to quietly take care of this current incident.
Please let's go.
Queen Dowager have requested to see you, My Lord.
I have arranged for you to meet with her for a short while.
Then, you have experienced a meeting with Gyeok Am while he was still alive?
Yes.
But I realized that truth so much later.
Then, to have the Princess escape . . .
It wasn't Prince Yeong Chang.
But It was actually Princess Jeong Myeong,
who Gyeok Am was talking about. The owner of the world.
His Majesty probably already knew that.
By questioning the royal shaman, Soo Ryeon Gae.
Also, I . . .
have lost both of my children
by the hands of His Majesty, My Lord.
I will swear to the heavens.
That I will standfast no matter what
and will see the day when His Majesty will be dethroned. The throne which is covered in blood.
I will see those evil ones' limbs rip to pieces.
Just as my children did.
I . . . I will do that with my own hands.
Your Highness!
That is how it is.
A long and despondent winter may come to this land.
Faithful retainers will perish
and pitiful human lives will fall endlessly like that of flower petals.
The days will continue where deceit and injustice will become the victors.
You . . will be living in that time.
Hong Joo WonI couldn't protect
neither the Princess
nor the Grand Prince.
Kang In Woo
I promised, but
I...
could not do anything!
However, my child, don't forget.
Princess Jeong Myeong
Savagery and injustices were brought on by humans, but
It is humans themselves who can take it back again.
A human's willpower is stronger than the heavens intent.
Climb up!
Oh, no!
Get that!
Mom . . .
Don't ever forget who you are.
Mom, Mom!
Stay alive no-matter what . . .
And reclaim everything that you've lost, My Princess.
Reclaim. . .
I have to go.
In Royal Palace,
there are no immature children.
And no innocent ones. Therefore,
Yeong Chang will pay for his sins.
I will never forget it.
I will return.
To find my younger brother.
My Royal Mother,
I will reclaim my position.
Lift, lift.
How is he?
You're awake and came to your senses?
What a relief. I thought you were going to die like this.
Let me see . . . it looks like you got seasick.
Who are you?!
Tell me.
What is this weird language of yours?
Where am I?
You are a girl from Joseon, right?
Joseon?
You just said, "Joseon" right?
Japanese
Pirate
Ship
A Japanese Pirate's Ship.
Then, this ship is. . . !
You were rescued from the sea.
And this ship is a slavery ship.
You are headed to Nagasaki's Sulfur mine just like me.
To Nagasaki.
You are being sold as a slave.
This ship will arrive there shortly.
Slave for sulfur mine...
A slave?
A sulfur mine?
Hurry up!
Go! Go!
Stop.
Men will be left in the village,
but the women and childrenwill be sold to a brothel.
Hurry up!
You, here!
Come!
What? Sit.
Look, look over here! This one is amazing!
He is healthy with teeth, both arms and legs!
He is strong! Starting with 500 Mons.
500, 500, 500 Mons!
600 Mons! 600, 600, 600!
-700, 700, 700 !-Wait a minute!
800!
This one.
And that one.
Also, the two other ones that I saw earlier.
Oh, I want him for free.
What, again?
Will 1000 Mons do?(Mon: Currency for Edo period)
Maruno!
You always want one or two slaves for free, and now you're even reducing the price?
No, no deal. I'm not going to sell them to you.
Take them out.
I said, no deal.
Excuse me! Look!
-Hurry up and go in, you punk!-Let go, you bastards!
How dare you lay your hands on me? Someone as precious as me!
I will not go in! I won't be sold as a slave!
You punk! Do you wish for death?!
Oh my! I went easy on him because he was young. But how dare he?!
Anyhow, are you sure he's truly a male?
His looks are very feminine.
You are a girl, right?
If they find that out, you'll be sold to a brothel and
live as a sexual object for the rest of your life.
Therefore, for sure
A man..
A man. You must say that you are a male.
Should we strip him?
Strip him!
-Otoko!-What?
-Otoko! I'm a male!-Hey!
Wait..
A male, also a Joseon bastard?
Why don't you just throw him in as well for free?
What?
Anyhow, he looks very wimpy so he will not be sold very easily.
I will see you again.
That! Damn evil bastard!
He wants a young boy again?
They're slaves but
he's the only one who makes young kids work in the mine.
Hurry up!
Go!
Starting tomorrow, send all of them up to the mine.
Take them.
Take him.
Younger ones are over there!
Take him!
Let go!
Go in!
-Let go-Hurry up!
Let go of me!
Go!
No!
Look!Open this!
Let me out! Let me out!
I have to return to Joseon! Look over here!
Royal Mother . . . !
Royal Mother!
Are you from Joseon?
I'm right. Isn't it?
Are you a citizen of Joseon, too?
Eat. I'll bet you didn't eat anything.
It's okay. I'm fine.
It's better for you to eat, if you want to work tomorrow.
The work is very difficult, but you only get fed two potatoes each day.
However, what is this place?
This is a sulfur mine. We go up to the volcano and mine sulfur everyday.
Mining sulfur on a volcano?
You know how scary that is?
The hot steam comes up from the bottom and the fumes makes it hard to breathe.
And we don't know when the volcano will erupt.There are a lot of mines over here.
Our owner, Maruno is the worst man.
-The worst? That man is?-Yes.
Maruno is a citizen of Joseon and he was brought here as a prisoner of war.
I heard he tugged at the oar and became the owner of a mine.
That's why there are many slaves from Joseon in this mine.
We're cheaper and we can understand him.
Then, how can I get out of here?
What?
I have to return to Joseon. I can't stay here.
Don't even mention something like that. If you get caught leaving you'll die.
What?
I heard one of the slaves tried to escape last month but he was drowned.
Can you see how it is?Even if you get out of this place...
how are you going to cross that sea?
By the way, I'm Goo Bok.What's your name?
Where were you living in Joseon?Are you from a fishing village like me, or slash-and-burn farmers?
I...I..
I mean...
Queen Mother...
Eui...
You must keep yourself safe, your highness.
I will definitely find you.
I will protect the Grand Prince and
protect you.
Why did you drink so much when you can't even keep down?
Look at you!
Joo Won.
Did you just say solders?
Yes, I need two men that I can trust.
Is that possible?
If you say so, it is possible.
But, can I ask what it is for?
That, I'll tell you later
when everything becomes clear.
Oh my, what happened to you, Young Master?
Joo Won.
Did you drink?
Yes, Father. I drank.
I'm sorry elder, I should've..
No!
It's not In Woo's fault.
I did it.
Joo Won!
I'm sorry. Even Lord Han Eum is here too.
But, Father!
I couldn't handle it with a right mind.
I hate myself
for being unable to protect the princess.
I promised to her so clearly,
but I can't even do anything at this moment.
That's why
That's why I think I won't be able to do anything anymore.
Neither reading books or nor entering government!
Like this, what can I exactly do!
You said you were Joo Won, right?
I mean your name.
I'm sorry.
We're all deeply ashamed in front of you.
Everything is the cowardly adults' fault
but letting you taking the burden.
Even so,
don't give up on yourself.
Even if you can't do anything,
don't give up.
Sire.
To you guys
I couldn't show a better world.
Even if I were to find strength and go out
it might not even be my place to do so.
But you should not lose against this world.
Sometimes, you will have...
a scary and harsh long winters.
But just like how a young bud is growing
under the ground.
Do you understand?
Please don't lose your heart against today's injustice.
Believe in a new world that will come tomorrow.
Your Majesty, this is Chief Eunuch!
Come in.
Did you look into it?
She serves Court Lady Kim Gae Si like a tool.
The tiger beetle that killed the late King
was brought into the palace through her.I confirmed it.
It seems that Your Majesty's speculation is right.
The dead ram that was hanging by the king's throne was
indeed the one that was offered to the king, and they kept it in the royal stable.
There's a record, before the incident,
that a slaughtered ram went missing.
As I expected,
they moved it from the royal stable to the main hall.
There are more than 5 gates
from the royal stable to the main hall.
There are dozens of soldiers guarding each gate.
While the ram was carried to the main hall,
no one stopped the person.
But, Your Majesty, isn't this impossible?
Yes, it's impossible.
But that impossibility happened.
And right in front of me too.
Pardon me?
In this country, there's a bold person who stands on top of my head,
and look down on me.
Your Majesty!
If that is so, this is not all of it.
He can probably control every part of the palace.
It's in his power.
Not to mention senior vassals,
he must have planted many man everywhere
serving as his eyes and ears.
But, your Majesty
who in this country is capable of doing that?
That's right.
I am also curious about that.
Who is sitting in that position? And..
I will definitely find out
who that person is.
I'm back.
Yes. How far did Gwang Hae find out about me?
Gwang Hae is working pretty hard.
Of course,
he must be anxious to know
that this country doesn't belong to him.
Do the rest of the work and clean up the mess for him.
I need to keep him under me for now.
Let's make him focus on the affairs of the nation.
By the way, didn't you dethrone the King at first?
Yes.
I was going to at first.
Because Gwang Hae was playing with fire.
Explosives...
He was trying to have that kind of power.
The king of this country
should stay as a puppet, sitting on the king's chair.
It's not enough to be used in real battles.
We'll do our best to find a better ratio
to raise fire power.
Our most priority is to secure a supply of a good quality sulfur.
Ridiculously, at that moment...
Nam Sa Go's prediction
came out right under my nose.
The real owner of the world.
the one who rules the fire
I couldn't let the oracle happen.
I had to get rid of the one
the prediction was pointing at.
You decided to deal with the prophecy first
using Gwang Hae.
Then what should we do with Gwang Hae?
We need a puppet to put on the throne.
We'll leave him until we find someone.
It's not like we can't stop them for developing explosives.
Then now...
get rid of Lee Deok Hyeong.
The original plan to dethrone Gwang Hae using him
is changed.
Don't forget to use
other people's hand for snake tunnels.
This is for Lord Lee I Cheom.
He's left the palace already.
Then I'll leave it in the office.
Just rule...
has to happen not next time, but right now!
When you withstand this deceptive temptation
that is when it begins.
If you don't do that
Your Majesty's plans will fade and someday
will be ruined.
Maruno's sulfur mine, Nagasaki
Here.
Move quickly!
Over there!What are you doing?
Be strong.They won't let you get away with whining.
Do you understand?
His name is Ja Gyeong.He's very strong.
His father is Japanese but his mother is from Joseon, so he understand our language.
He's a bit scary but nice to me.
Control the new slaves strictly.
You will need to beat them a few times.
I understand.
Master.
I heard a smuggling boat will arrive at the dock soon. Are you going there?
I need to check if there'a good deal.
How about a drink?
Maruno!
You look even better now.
Who would think that you're Cho Gap Soo who looked down in Joseon...
Stop your nonsense.
I gave up on that name a long time ago.
Do you have anything good?
Of course, I do.I think you can make money from Joseon.
What do you mean?
Come over here.
The sulfur...
from your mine, I want that.
What do you mean?Why do you need it?
I will sell it to Joseon.
Sulfur to Joseon?
You rascal!
It's hot!
Get up.You'll get in trouble.
I can't do it any more.
Get up!
Save me!Forgive me!
This rascal!
Stop it.Let me handle it.
Maruno said I'm the one in charge of them.
Go watch others.
Do your job properly.
Ja Gyeong.
I can't breathe.
It feels like my body is burning.
Is that so?Then die.
I told you, I can't look down on you any more.
I don't use whips or talk.
If I see you causing harm to others again,
you will die by my hand.
So you're saying,
the current king of Joseon killed all the legitimate children of the late king?
Who else would have done it?
What does that have to do with sulfur?
There's a rumor that the king want to wipe out everyone
and get the power, so he can make explosives.
Explosives?
The king of Joseon, really?
You're here early.
Why do you act like you got caught stealing someone else's lunch?
It was on the table.
I think it's for you.
Why are you searching through other people's stuff?
I was just curious, so I looked at it.
I see.
You're so curious, I'm sure you have a good appetite, too.
By the way,
aren't you accepting too much?
Even Lee Deok Hyeon
is trying to bribe you now.
Pardon me?Who sent me what?
I'm talking about that box.
Han Eum sent it.
It looks like medicinal herbs.
[Han Eum]
This is...
Do you want to meet the royal physician Heo Joon for the late king?
Yes, I heard you know him.
I heard that he moved back to the capital
from his hometown.
Then, can I see him soon?
I beg of you.
I need to check something out with him.
Why do you want to meet the royal physician of the late king? What's the matter?
Court Lady Kim!
What's the matter?
We're in big trouble.
Someone must know
that we poisoned the late king.
What did you say?
Look at this.
Someone sent me this tiger beetle and used Han Eum's name.
Are you okay?
How about you?Didn't you get hurt?
No, this happens everyday.
I'm sorry, you were beaten because of me.
It's okay. Hurry up and eat.We need to go back soon.
What's wrong?
I mean...
I guess he was doing okay in Joseon.
Can't you tell? It's too shabby for him.
Really?
Can I eat it?
Why are you carrying the dagger?
Why? Are you scared?
It's not that I'm scared.
It's for the time that I won't be able to hold it back.
I'm carrying it so I can kill
the one I hate the most then kill myself.
You can't escape here alive.
It's better for you to forget about whatever you were in Joseon.
You're just a slave like us.
Soon, you'll be able to eat dirt.
How dare you to speak so rudely?
A man from the bottom like you wouldn't know about me!
I won't forget who I am.
And I will definitely escape from here, alive!
I will!
Hurry up and move!
Hurry!
It's better for you to forget about whatever you were in Joseon.
You can't escape here alive.
Han Eum is staying at a place like this?
[The Daily Records of Royal Secretariat][Record of autopsy]
Hey, you...
What is that?
Why is the water in the lake...
Damn it!
What's wrong?
Run! It's going to explode soon!
What?
Didn't you hear me?The volcano will erupt soon!
These are...
Splendid Politics
How could it be possible?
How?
Could it be actually Han Eum?
Then we need to get rid of Han Eum now.
Don't worry.Nothing will happen.
It's either getting everyone,or losing everyone.
That's what power is.
Gwang Hae is the king.
The king can give up on everything.
Diplomats, you say?
I will save him as I promised.
I know I might get killed,
but I'll go.
