Jo Ban from Baeju... plotted treason.
Is there any evidence that Jo Ban plotted treason?
This is the evidence.
You were wrong and I was right.
Hong In Bang fabricated a treason plot.
What?
[Episode 16] I know about my impeachment plea.
I also know that you gathered here today to vote on it.
However... isn't this treason plot more urgent than the matter of ruling?
Therefore, I respectfully request that you decide on the arrest of Jo Ban first
in order to investigate Jo Ban.
- However-- - While we investigate Jo Ban...
I believe the matter of my impeachment will also be naturally determined.
There were 70 people who voted for the arrest of Jo Ban.
Even your people voted for the arrest, General.
It's not that 70 people thought Jo Ban plotted treason.
The 70 people think that every detail of this case should be clearly revealed.
Of course. It should be investigated thoroughly
to find out who is behind it.
I will report to His Majesty on the decision of Dodang and receive his edict.
It is true that Jo Ban killed Lee Kwang.
Then did Jo Ban really plot treason?
Of course it's not possible. Lord Jo Ban to plot treason?
Whether he plotted it or not, our mission just became more difficult.
There will be an interrogation soon
but the State Tribunal is already seized by Hong In Bang.
Since Hong In Bang's servant hit Jo Ban
you said it was Hong In Bang's scheme.
How did you see that?
Because Haedonggap Clan must have been Hong In Bang's goal from the beginning.
Hong In Bang can't be that far removed from reality.
For the past 700 years, no ruler has hit the Haedonggap Clan.
Right, no ruler has ever done it...
but Hong In Bang is about to do it now.
Stop talking nonsense!
Tell me the reason you think that way.
If I were Hong In Bang... that's what I would have done.
I am Hong In Bang. What am I afraid of?
What do I want?
Yes, I finally pushed out Lee In Gyeom and climbed to the highest seat.
And I stretched my hand out to the Haedonggap Clan.
Marriage.
Marriage will do it.
But...
Jung Do Jeon, Yi Bang Won...
They fooled me!
I... can never forgive myself for being powerless and weak.
I can't stand myself for surrendering...
Yes, I will have the Haedonggap Clan kneel at my feet.
I am Hong In Bang...
I've lived my life with the infamy of a defector.
What reason do I have not to cross any forbidden lines?
I will do what no one else has done for 700 years!
That is...
That's the reason... I betrayed Sadaebu
and endured the notoriety of being a defector.
This is it, Teacher.
What do you mean?
You're assigned to the Royal Guards as of this moment, sir.
What?
Minister Hong In Bang ordered me to take charge of this interrogation.
I will assign you as an officer of the State Tribunal.
Will you be my dog?
Therefore, the method of interrogation will also change.
Come in!
Lord Hong...
you know how much I hate the Haedonggap Clan, right?
I do...
but even Lord Lee In Gyeom never touched the Haedonggap Clan.
Yes, that's why I'm going to establish a new order.
How?
When I first suggested business over war to Lord Lee In Gyeom
he asked how, since there is no remaining land that belongs to the country.
- How did I answer him then? - How did you answer him?
Also, when I absorbed Baek Yoon's people
I suggested raising the tax rate to 90 percent.
And Woo Hak Joo asked how.
What did I say then?
I'm not sure. What did you say?
I said nothing.
How do I establish a new order?
I'm just going to do it.
Using methods that everyone says can't be used on the Haedonggap Clan...
I am just going to do it.
I believe Bang Won is right.
Pardon? You believe that immature theory?
I may have underestimated Hong In Bang.
In order to fortify his power
maybe more than you or me
maybe more than the people who had their lands taken away
Hong In Bang may be thinking more desperately.
Whether Hong In Bang is good or not
is completely separate from whether he works really hard.
"If you look down on your enemy, you will definitely fail."
But Bang Won didn't miss that point.
If it's true...
I really don't care for Bang Won, even more than before.
How could such a young man catch that point?
It's because it also exists in him, too!
This is ominous.
What are your thoughts?
Do I have to give you an opinion too?
Did Hong In Bang set his goal to be the dominant power
like the Haedonggap Clan from the beginning?
Dominant power...
Whether it's you or them... it's all fake power.
The only real power in this world is...
This is the only one.
So why do you pierce through the hearts with clever words
and disguise yourselves as if you have power?
If Hong In Bang saw through the essence of that power...
he would set anything as a goal, including the Haedonggap Clan.
Have you ever been threatened?
Pardon? What do you mean by that?
You have never been threatened, have you?
I came here to threaten you.
Your joke goes too far.
Jo Ban plotted treason!
And the ones behind it are...
Yi Seong Gye and your Haedonggap Clan.
What do you mean by that?
I was about to talk with you about Lord Jo Ban...
Did Jo Ban make a false statement of that sort at the State Tribunal?
Not yet.
But he will say so soon.
It's just that I have to decide whether he will only finger Yi Seong Gye
or mention the Haedonggap Clan.
Why on earth are you doing this?
Don't you understand what it means?
I am telling you to get on your knees at my feet!
I am different from any ruler in Goryeo.
You will attack the Haedonggap Clan?
You are different from any ruler in Goryeo?
What is so different that you claim to do
something no one has ever been able to do?
I know your power...
but you don't know your power
since you have never fought before.
Since no one has ever thought to provoke you!
Your power, that you have never shown for 700 years, is all based on reputation!
That's the only thing you have!
But for someone like me who doesn't believe it...
it is useless.
If I order my servants outside to destroy this house and hang you naked upside down
you have no choice but to be hung!
How will you stop me?
Do you think I can't do it?
I already did that to Jo Ban.
This is the plea that your clan will submit to His Majesty.
It's simple. "The one behind Jo Ban's treason plot is Yi Seong Gye."
"Please punish him."
Get signatures from all the members of the Haedonggap Clan on this plea.
The deadline is by 6 o'clock tomorrow morning.
If I don't have this plea in my hands by then
your history of 700 years will end with Jo Ban.
You think I can't do it?
Only eight years from the traitor dregs of Sadaebu to the top power of Dodang!
It doesn't matter to me if I lose it all!
But what you will lose is 700 years.
The goal is General Yi?
He will threaten the Haedonggap Clan and get General Yi involved in this case.
Not just an individual or a family
he plans to threaten the whole Haedonggap Clan?
Even General Choi Young doesn't believe so.
He seems to think that Hong In Bang is using trickery
to get through a critical moment.
Yes, he probably does.
No one has ever done or had any need to threaten the whole Haedonggap Clan.
But Hong In Bang has done things that no one has ever done.
The Haedonggap Clan has never wanted conflict.
They will probably...
end up raising the hand of the one who starts a fight.
It does make sense...
but I cannot possibly believe so.
Sambong, let's hurry up and meet with Eoeun!
For someone who has never been pushed to water
he will drown if the water level reaches his nose.
The Haedonggap Clan never has been a direct target in cases like this.
They have never participated in political fights.
So they will soon run out of breath and run to the stronger one.
That's why I had to show them what to fear.
"This Hong In Bang is crazy."
"We don't know what he will really do."
You can't even use a sword
so how do you know so well the nature of fighting?
But will you really strike down the whole Haedonggap Clan?
They will surrender.
And my only goal is Yi Seong Gye.
Right? It's Yi Seong Gye!
Then you should keep an eye on Yi Seong Gye!
What's the use of receiving the edict?
Keep an eye on Yi Seong Gye so that he won't sneak out of Gaegyeong.
And report to me on every move that the Haedonggap Clan makes tonight.
Yes, I will.
Biguk Temple's fate may be determined by this matter.
I have to make clear judgments from now on.
Will he truly seize Goryeo?
Or is he a flame flickering wildly before it goes out?
Haedonggap Clan...
Eat.
It's been a long time... to have dinner cooked by Boon Yi.
You do get to eat, right?
Why have you always worried if I ate or not, since our childhood?
It's not true! I also worried about whether you
were getting conned or getting beat up.
I didn't know you became Venomous Magpie.
So stop joking around and worry about yourself now.
By the way, how did you get to move in here?
And how did you get to know him?
"Him"?
Yi Bang Won, that bastard.
He didn't look like he would do something like this.
Yes, he is someone who would do this. He's smart, too!
He saved me a few times.
He did?
He also helped us when we were little.
That's true.
You should eat up.
Teacher Sambong is looking for you. He seems to be headed to Lord Min Je.
- I got it. - Be careful.
What on earth... Did Hong In Bang really request this from us?
We have to meet with the whole Haedonggap Clan. We have until tomorrow morning.
I understand.
So send a private message to everyone.
Lord Min went far away to rest for a few days.
Then when will he return?
He didn't exactly say when he will be back.
Hong In Bang came by four hours ago
and the Haedonggap Clan from Gaegyeong went in two hours ago.
Lord Eoeun is at home. Tell Lord Jung.
Hong In Bang met with Min Je.
After that, Min Je summoned the Haedonggap Clan in Gaegyeong.
It looks like they will have a meeting sometime tonight.
Tonight... the direction of power will be determined.
Send out the girls, and report on Minister Hong's movements
and the Haedonggap Clan's movements...
and even General Choi Young and General Yi Seong Gye's movements.
Yes, ma'am.
Lord Eoeun is inside, and Hong In Bang came by four hours ago.
Skill 22 of the Eastern Twin Dragons!
I trusted you from the beginning!
You didn't look ordinary!
But Moo Hyool kept saying that you were a scammer...
Scammer, scammer, scammer!
You have lied to us about things, so you don't need to get upset like that.
Where is Young Master Bang Won?
Everyone went over there to look at a new weapon.
Thank you.
The thing that's inside is called gunpowder.
General Choi Moo Seon created it.
Wow, I heard about it, but I didn't know it would be so powerful.
General Choi Young told us to create a gunpowder unit
so that we could make use of it to fight off the Japanese pirates.
Gunpowder unit?
What's wrong Uncle, are you afraid?
Really...
If weapons like this are used
what happened to people like us who ride horses and fight with swords?
Before we fight off the Japanese pirates, the horses will fall over from shock.
The times are changing.
We have to be able to handle gunpowder.
Young Master Bang Won, please give me a moment.
Hong In Bang went to Lord Min Je?
It's going as I expected.
He said that we need to find out what the two talked about.
But he is not meeting anyone.
How will I find out?
What?
- Are you an idiot? - What?
You are Lord Min Je's son-in-law.
You made a coalition through marriage.
We haven't established a coalition yet.
The Min Family of Hwangryeo plans to take their daughter away if things go wrong.
In this situation, they will not cooperate with me.
To find out about something...
I have to negotiate with my wife.
But I have nothing to give to her...
Why are you laughing?
I thought there was only one person like you.
But she is the same way?
Do the thing that you are good at.
The thing I am good at?
"I am Hong In Bang." Don't limit it to that.
Put yourself in her shoes.
If you were her, what would you have wanted the most?
What would move you?
Think about that.
In my opinion, she sounds similar to you.
We decided to discuss the matter tonight.
There is a high chance that everyone will raise Hong In Bang's hand.
If we decide to sign our signatures on the document--
He will attack Yi Seong Gye right away.
It's an urgent situation. We don't have time.
Da Kyung, if it is decided that way, I will send someone.
So be prepared to leave that house right away.
I heard you visited your family house.
Did my father-in-law tell you
that he'd send someone if the situation here gets worse?
Yes, since I have to avoid the situation.
Yes, you should.
I wouldn't blame you at all.
Since it was a marriage of convenience for the families.
As a representative for my family, I thank you for your consideration.
But if you won't blame me at all, then why were you waiting for me?
Let's make a final deal.
You are wise and logical...
The reason you chose me and my family must be...
because you determined the tide will ultimately be in our favor.
But Hong In Bang met with the Haedonggap Clan and is about to hold their hand...
and I believe the Haedonggap Clan is almost convinced by him...
since Hong In Bang is the most powerful man in Dodang.
- So? - So...
I need to flip this around, so...
I would like a final deal with you.
What is it that you want?
Everything you heard from your father today.
That's what I would like to know.
Then what will you give me?
Didn't you say it was a deal?
The biggest secret of my family and I.
If things go wrong...
it will keep the Min Family from Hwangryeo in a safe position.
What will you do?
Good. Then how should we do this?
We will write down what we promised here
and exchange them at the same time.
Excuse me, my dear!
Why didn't you write anything down?
- Is this true? - Yes, it is true.
Do you trust me enough to tell me this?
- I don't trust you. - Then?
- Why did you tell me this secret-- - Because you're a Haedonggap Clan.
I thought someone from the Haedonggap Clan wouldn't be surprised by this.
But you are surprised.
If I tell you everything I know...
do you even have a way to turn this situation around?
Whether I have a way or not, or if it is successful or not...
there is no loss for the Min Family of Hwangryeo.
Please tell me.
I found out...
what Hong In Bang requested from the Haedonggap Clan.
I found out.
What is it?
Signatures from everyone in the Haedonggap Clan
proclaiming the one behind Jo Ban's treason plot is you, Father.
If the Haedonggap Clan signs the document tonight
then it will be handed to Hong In Bang tomorrow morning.
And once the King gives permission, the order to arrest you will come.
We don't have time.
Why would the Haedonggap Clan sign such a document?
What? Is that true?
Would I come to you in the middle of the night and tell you lies?
I have raised a monster.
It has already begun.
If I lose... you won't be safe either.
What is the reason you are telling me this?
The problem is Choi Young.
I trust that you will manage General Choi Young
so that he won't have useless thoughts.
First, you have to escape from Gaegyeong.
Did you just say, "escape"?
If the Haedonggap Clan signs it, and Hong In Bang sees the King with it
then the King won't be able to refuse giving the order for your arrest.
Then everything is over.
So you should escort General Yi and escape from here.
- Are you telling me to run away? - It's a retreat, not running away.
Why would we retreat?
Brother, let's cut off all of their heads tonight.
You can't do that!
Fighting is what we're best at...
so why can't we do it?
Because we have no justification right now!
If we attack the highest power Hong In Bang
and Gil Tae Mi without justification
then it really does become a treason plot.
Sambong...
Did you say we don't have justification?
Then make me a justification.
Give me a strategy.
Then... General Choi Young is the only one.
There is no evidence...
but this is definitely a case of Hong In Bang's fabricated treason plot.
If General Choi Young makes up his mind...
Hong In Bang and Gil Tae Mi could be arrested first.
But we don't know whether it will succeed or how long it will take.
I will buy some time.
I found out where the Haedonggap Clan will have a meeting.
I will buy time so that they won't be able to sign the document.
Bang Won.
Yes, Teacher.
How will you buy time?
I will figure it out.
Are you actually going to buy time?
Or are you thinking of something else?
Do you know the biggest problem you have?
When you are sure of something, you don't try to communicate with others.
The certainty in your heart is not communicated
and that's when you become a mobster.
If I am right...
you have become certain of something again.
Am I right?
I am sorry. You are right.
To be honest... my thoughts may be the same as yours...
Teacher!
A big current will give in to a bigger current...
That's what I think.
Am I right?
Yes, you are right, Teacher.
Do what you wish.
Thank you, Teacher.
I will absolutely make it happen.
Yi Seong Gye is behind Jo Ban's treason plot case?
Nothing is certain.
But Hong In Bang plans to arrest and interrogate Yi Seong Gye.
Such nonsense!
Of course it's nonsense.
But Hong In Bang already has evidence that Jo Ban plotted treason.
Also, he even gained support from the Haedonggap Clan.
Haedonggap Clan? Are you saying that they will support Hong In Bang?
Yes... I raised a monster!
I am the sinner.
If the Haedonggap Clan holds Hong In Bang's hand on this case
His Majesty will definitely order the arrest of Yi Seong Gye.
If the Haedonggap Clan steps up...
His Majesty won't be able to refuse it.
Lord Poeun and General Yi Seong Gye are here to see you, sir.
Let them in!
I shouldn't be doing this here...
Where are you moving the gunpowder?
Oh, this is not gunpowder.
They are empty boxes, the leftovers after filling boxes with gunpowder.
How much gunpowder is in the storage?
There is quite a lot. About... 200 geun?
Let me take one of these.
Excuse me! It's gunpowder! The thing that explodes!
You can't eat that! Why would he take this?
All right, Yi Bang Won... Let's do this.
Umm... Can you help me?
With what?
There are two boxes on the table in the storage.
Get me one of the two.
Which one of the two boxes?
Just... either one.
You could have brought one out. Why do you make me do this?
Thank you.
- All done? - Yes.
Boon Yi, you must've chosen one without knowing what this is.
But this decision of yours will determine the life or death of us.
Is this full of stones or gunpowder?
The fate of tonight is at risk.
Hey, Gil Tae Mi! Are you the best swordsman in the country?
Draw your sword! Let us contend for victory.
It's so dull. There has to be some cool expression!
Are you the Prime Minister Gil Tae Mi?
Then... good!
I said, "Then good"! So cool! It's good!
He said it's good...
What do I do? He's not normal either.
Young Master!
Young Master! Why are you holding that? It's dangerous!
How many soldiers can you round up right now?
What's going on?
Have them sneak out on their own and gather them in front of Soongin Gate.
Finally a chance to make my contribution!
Yes, I will.
Yes!
Also, please interrogate General Yi Seong Gye, who instigated Jo Ban
and punish him in the strictest sense depending on the weight of his crime.
That is our earnest request.
It is truly painful for me to say this.
But the deadline Hong In Bang gave us is approaching. We don't have much time.
As I said, if we refuse this...
Hong In Bang will point at us as the ones behind Jo Ban's case and investigate us.
If you would make a decision...
I will deliver that decision to Hong In Bang right away.
What should we do?
If you want to fight against this rude, vicious ruler...
I will follow your wish and take the lead in the fight.
The decision has already been made.
No one is willing to fight.
This is the side of the Haedonggap Clan that has never fought before.
Let's sign the document.
What could be the problem?
If we turn our heads for a moment and look the other way
the world will soon be back to as it was before.
Let's not create trouble.
How long could Hong In Bang last anyway?
We can look the other way for a moment until then.
Hong In Bang won't last long? How would we know?
Even if he does, it's only 30 years. How long could he live?
Is 30 years short?
It's 700 years for us!
History proves itself.
All kinds of rulers and countries come to rise and fall
but we will last forever, just like the common people.
In the time that lasts forever, 30 years is an instant.
Yes, I agree. Let's do that.
- I will sign, too. - I agree.
- I agree.
Yes... then let us proceed.
Let us sign the document.
Who is this?
Who are you?
You are...
How did you...
This is... gunpowder!
- Gunpowder? - What's gunpowder?
Gunpowder?
Yi Bang Won?
How did he...
What on earth are you doing?
Until I am done speaking, no one will enter or leave this place.
If anyone tries to leave, cut off his head immediately. Do you understand?
Yes, sir!
Gunpowder?
Young Master Bang Won took a box of gunpowder... with the soldiers.
Where did he go with that dangerous thing?
Of course I don't know.
Gunpowder... is it dangerous?
What kind of medicine is it?
How can you be so delicately ignorant? It's not medicine to be taken.
It explodes.
What is he trying to start?
I'm not sure what it is...
but it must be medicine that makes his stomach blow up.
Looking at his face, it's already blown up.
- Bang Won left with gunpowder. - Gunpowder?
Yes. He even took soldiers with him.
I knew about it.
You knew about this?
Yes, although I didn't know he would take gunpowder with him.
What?
Young Master, is it really all right to do this?
According to this document...
it's over for my family now.
A general who devoted his life to fighting off
the Japanese pirates and the Red Turbans...
will be accused of a treason plot, and disappear at the execution grounds.
Actually, it's not really a big deal in Goryeo.
Only a name will be added to the list of injustice and corruption...
and it will float along again.
What do you want to say?
And the families of the Haedonggap Clan...
will enjoy things they have enjoyed...
and float along as well.
What do you really know about the Clan to say such harsh words?
I know enough!
For the 30 years during the Mongol invasions
when the whole country was burning and people were massacred...
all of you kept to yourselves on Gangwha Island
and held poetry and art exhibitions every day.
Yes! Of course it must have been painful to see the wretched reality of Goryeo.
That's why you created so many poems that take pity on the citizens in misery.
Other than that...
what have you done for 700 years?
You sat by and watched history pass you by.
Without paying any price, you enjoyed everything you could!
That's...
That's the Haedonggap Clan.
How dare you!
You are beyond rude!
How dare you act out your wickedness at the Haedonggap Clan's meeting!
And you still think you will make it out alive?
That's a good question.
Yes, I believe I will.
What's that?
Only up until a day ago...
I could never even imagine doing this to you.
But...
why am I able to do this now?
Because I found out that the Haedonggap Clan
surrenders to Hong In Bang's power.
Now, should I tell you about the future of the Haedonggap Clan?
Future rulers who will grab power in this country
will threaten you, use you
and have you on your knees, just like Hong In Bang did.
And every time... you will end up surrendering.
"Let's hand him victory."
"We don't avoid stuff because we're scared of it."
"Let's not create trouble."
Just like tonight, you will nod your heads powerlessly.
That will be your next 700 years.
Do you really want to start the history of humiliation and indignity
in your generation?
Or... do you want to erase this indignity of signing this document tonight
and grab the final chance that will continue
the shining history of the Haedonggap Clan?
How do you mean?
"Hong In Bang and Gil Tae Mi, the rulers of Dodang..."
"and their supporter Lee In Gyeom! We request their impeachment!"
"They stole the lands of so many people, including Jo Ban, by force"
"and made business trades over government posts."
"They accused Jo Ban of a treason plot and put the country's order in chaos."
"Please punish him for the crimes."
All of you, please sign this document.
Let us push out the three rulers of Dodang together
and erase the hell of today's incident.
And if we can't?
What will you do if we can't do it?
You will do so, but it's just...
that we don't have time right now.
Therefore...
I would like to help you make the decision.
What on earth are you doing? Turn it off right now!
If all of you sign the document, I will put out the wick.
If you won't...
you will disappear from here with me.
I was going to sign it! I will!
Put that out first!
Your signature comes first.
It's not that I am scared of gunpowder...
It's because you are right!
Bang Won is dangerous!
What did you tell him to do?
It's a desperately dangerous situation.
His ominous instinct you mentioned...
I believe it will save us right now.
Father-in-law...
Is it really gunpowder?
If you are doubtful, wait until it explodes.
Lord Eoeun, please sign it now!
He will definitely sign it.
Put out the wick first!
If the gunpowder is fake, and if you are bluffing...
Will you bet your life on my bluffing?
Boon Yi...
Can't you see?
Our Young Master is shaking! He would never lie.
Do you plan to kill everyone here?
I am grateful for your wise decision.
We will definitely root out the three rulers of Dodang...
and show our gratitude for your kindness.
Your eyes were filled with fear just like I was.
How? Was it all pretense?
Of course not.
I didn't know if it was filled with gunpowder or stones.
I even fooled myself in order to fool all of you.
Because I had to be afraid, too.
Let's go.
It's still gunpowder!
Why did you let such a dangerous kid take such a dangerous thing--
It's... not gunpowder.
It's not?
Earlier, Bang Won...
asked me to bring one of the boxes from the storage with a serious face.
When I opened them, one was filled with gunpowder and one with stones.
And?
So I gave him the box with stones.
Why?
I wasn't so sure...
but I could sense what he was planning to do.
I also thought gunpowder would be dangerous.
By the way, can you really do this?
Is it all right to threaten those people in high positions?
No one there will think he signed it because he was threatened.
Why?
"I, so and so of the Min Family of Hwangryeo..."
"did not surrender to gunpowder. I signed it only for a bigger goal."
That's how they will justify themselves.
That's how they cover up their shame and humiliation.
He is really amazing!
- Young Kyu. - Yes.
You have to help them escape and protect them from Hong In Bang.
Yes, Young Master!
- Moo Hyool, follow me. - Yes, Young Master!
We're in big trouble. I have to tell Minister Hong In Bang quickly.
I have to tell Hwasadan now!
Young Master, the bell is ringing. The sun will rise soon.
Hong In Bang, it will be the final morning for you.

[Six Flying Dragons]
- How did it go? - Everyone in the Clan signed it!
Hong In Bang, it's over now.
I received His Majesty's order to arrest!
Our goal is Hong In Bang, Gil Tae Mi, and Lee In Gyeom!
It means my in-law failed. Damn it...
Fine, I will kill all of you.
It's important to get Gil Tae Mi with overwhelming military power.
We have to get him early on.
Arrest all of them and bring them to the State Tribunal!
No, this can't happen. No...
Here! Traitor Hong In Bang is here!
Arrest Hong In Bang!
Lee In Gyeom's minion!
