Then... did you think that I would share my power with the likes of them?
Moomyung!
I will now end that 700 year reign!
[Episode 49] Yi Bang Won is the same as Sambong?
He has never been opposed to Sambong's policies.
He was always impressed.
But Prince Jeongan understands human desires.
No... He understands his own desires.
Would Yi Bang Won understand the desires of Moomyung?
I will let you see it.
How will you do that?
[Lee Shin Jeok]
How could I possibly manage a country with an organization like Moomyung?
Of course not.
But what will you do?
We can't even figure out its true identity.
We have to attack their three bases.
Their bases?
First...
The reason Sambong took the book on Shilla was...
The group of court servants, eunuchs and court maids.
Second...
Then what would happen to appointing a respected monk as the king's advisor?
The system of Buddhism and its temples.
Third...
She is a famous merchant leader, even on the mainland.
Merchants and merchant groups.
Buddhism, merchants, and court servants...
As we destroy the three bases...
we have to get rid of the core figures of Moomyung at the same time.
Yes. Expulsion of Buddhism, a change of court servants
and cracking down on merchant groups... I will come up with plans.
Until the preparation is over...
I will keep a very close friendship with them.
How does this make any sense?
You did not appoint these contributors, did you?
How dare you!
He is not your brother anymore. He is His Majesty now.
Yes, Your Majesty!
How could you appoint only Bang Won's people?
What do you want me to do?
Are you the king, or is Bang Won?
Bang Gan!
My brother, Your Majesty...
How could this possibly happen?
You are only a contributor of the second rank?
Even Jo Joon was appointed a contributor of the first rank without doing anything.
Rewarding people promptly should not be done this way!
[Park Po]
It is "rewarding properly," sire.
Yes yes, you're right.
That is why you are my advisor.
- Will you let this go? - Of course not!
What do you think should be done?
What we need is an intelligence group. So I believe...
Your Highness, what brings you all the way here?
Am I not welcome here?
Not at all! I am just glad to see you, sire.
You contributed to Bang Won's goal were not rewarded at all, were you?
That kid never had any manners.
We have a guest here.
I will take my leave now.
Please, come inside.
You will probably die within two hours.
I've found you, Moomyung.
Prince Hwean has a lot of complaints.
- Check on his activities. - Yes, I will.
Next... do we know about Jung Do Gwang yet?
We notified each magistrate's office of his wanted status
and we are interrogating people of Banchon now.
People of Banchon... Why is that so?
Someone from Banchon went to Songhyunbang and notified them of our coup.
Someone from Banchon died trying to meet with Lee Bang ji and Jung Do Gwang.
Yes, most of people in Banchon used to be Jung Do Jeon's messengers.
We need to interrogate them.
We cannot leave those rebellious groups in the capital!
Do you have a different opinion?
All of you are correct.
Interrogate them thoroughly, and make the decision.
Then, as for the people of Banchon--
Oh, but don't touch the leader there.
That will be all for now.
Who ordered you to go to Songhyunbang and notify Jung Do Jeon?
I only wanted to tell someone to stay away...
Sir, the people of Banchon are innocent.
How could Gap Boon have a treacherous mind?
- Out of sympathy-- - Get yourself together!
All of you were Jung Do Jeon's messengers.
In that light, we were also Prince Jeongan's group at one point--
It was also Jung Do Jeon who placed your people in Banchon.
If you don't want to be accused as a traitor, do not ever do this again.
Prince Jeongan! Do you know what he has done?
Let me look at only one step ahead. Only one step ahead.
Warrior!
It is possible that all of our people could die.
- If you could-- - I can't.
- Why not? - Because I understand.
I understand this situation.
Politics, power...
This is how it is.
You also...
You also understand this, to be honest.
Jung Do Jeon seized Sungkyunkwan and did the same with Banchon.
Politics and power... cannot possibly leave them alone, can they?
- You do understand. - I can't understand it.
How could I understand it?
Even if everyone else in the world understands
as the leader of Banchon, about having people of Banchon killed...
how could I nod and say, "Yes, it is possible"?
I am not sure either.
But... I decided to look only one step ahead.
Right now... is one step ahead. Isn't it?
Grandma!
What... happened with this?
Don't say anything. I can clean up.
Who did this!
Dozens of people from Banchon were taken away.
How could they feel fine about it?
The whole town knows this trouble occurred
after getting all those weapons out of here.
Moo Hyool, you said you would quit.
When will you quit?
Right now... is one step ahead. Isn't it?
Is it right now?
- What? - People from Banchon who are kept...
Why would you worry about it?
I have been with them for a long time
and I have grown very attached to them...
Attachment... Attachment...
I am sure you have.
Should I rule based on attachment?
Is that how one makes a good country?
It is the State Tribunal's right. They will take care of it.
- Your Highness. - Yes?
I would like to go to my hometown.
Go ahead.
But you have to return within ten days.
No, I would like to live there.
It is tough.
It is also tough for me.
Don't say nonsense.
Pardon?
It is the first draft of the plan to reform Buddhism.
Since you have investigated the facts, you should compare and correct them.
You should also add to it.
Yes, sir.
Is Prince Jeongan proceeding with Teacher Sambong's expulsion of Buddhism?
Sir...
You're alive?
It is the same?
Yi Bang Won is planning to proceed with the same policy as Lord Sambong?
Correct.
This is the plea that Lord Ha Ryoon wrote about expelling Buddhism.
- This will do. - What do you plan to do?
What is this?
This is the first draft of Ha Ryoon's plea.
It is about the expulsion of Buddhism.
Is Prince Jeongan planning to continue what Jung Do Jeon was trying to do?
Moogook, it has become very clear.
We cannot leave him like this!
We will abandon Prince Jeongan!
Then how...
Prince Jeongan is a sword whose usefulness has expired!
Arrange a feast with Prince Jeongan for me.
I will break that sword.
Yi Bang Won...
My goodness, Moo Dong!
What did you ever do wrong, Moo Dong!
How on earth could this happen?
How many people has it been?
How could that little one endure the torture of the State Tribunal?
Let's go.
Moo Dong...
Hold on.
It's this house!
Moo Dong is dead.
My goodness...
My goodness, that little one... How can this be...
For your family's glory and wealth
how could you turn on the neighborhood like this?
My goodness, what do you mean?
I just--
He is right!
For the people of Banchon
getting involved in politics is bad enough to get thrown out...
Goodness! You were holding a mountain of weapons?
Why are you doing this?
You got his grandson beaten to death!
Why don't you have all of us beaten to death too?
No! It's not like that!
Grandma!
Grandma! What happened? Who did this?
No, no, Moo Hyool.
- These bastards-- - No!
Moo Hyool, you can't! You shouldn't!
Let go of me! This doesn't make sense! What did we do wrong?
We did wrong.
We wronged them.
If something bad happened to you because of someone else...
I would have done something too.
Moo Dong... that little one died
while he was being tortured at the State Tribunal.
Moo Hyool...
Moo Hyool, let's leave.
Let's not commit anymore sin, Moo Hyool.
Grandma.
Let's leave now, Moo Hyool...
Moo Hyool...
I will find you a house somewhere else.
So come out of Banchon.
I want to leave.
I can understand how you feel--
Why... I followed you, sire...
Do you remember?
Politics that make people smile...
But, sire...
Who...
Who is smiling now?
Have you seen anyone smiling?
When you make people smile, I would like to find my worth as well.
Would I find my worth next to you now?
Then leave.
Before I change my mind.
And give that to your grandmother.
Your Highness.
May I speak to you?
Please spare the people of Banchon, sire.
We have already lost three people
who were severely tortured in the State Tribunal.
Please...
I can't.
They are innocent!
They may be innocent...
but I cannot release the ones involved with the traitor Sambong...
and leave them in the city.
Your Highness!
That is why...
I told you to do your best to survive!
It wasn't going to work no matter what we tried.
If people were taken because they were close to Lord Sambong
there was no path for us to begin with!
You...
What does your stare mean?
"Let go of Bang Won, you worm!"
Why don't you say so?
Would that joke from childhood have any meaning now?
You're right. It is meaningless.
Are you hesitating because you're afraid of being abandoned by the world?
No, I am not.
I am going to write poetry. Heart-warming poetry.
Prince Hwean has a lot of complaints.
I have no ulterior motives. You know that, right?
I am going to rip your lips off!
Even a dog does not kill its teacher or siblings!
No...
Yeon Hee!
Would I find my worth next to you now, sire?
I will leave.
What?
I will take everyone and leave. Could I?
Yes. Since this how politics go...
it would be difficult to leave the people who used to be messengers in the capital.
If you would just spare them and release them
we will go off to a secluded place and live quietly.
Please let us leave together.
You will leave?
You can't. Stay by my side.
Sire...
Let us get married...
Anyway...
I will.
If you tell me to stay, I will.
If you tell me to marry you, I will.
No matter what it is, I will do everything you tell me.
So please release the people of Banchon.
Do you mean it?
Why are you going this far?
What do the people of Banchon mean to you?
On the day Lord Sambong passed away...
I met with my brother.
And Lord Sambong as well.
If I had told them about the arms storage then...
what would have happened to this country and Your Highness?
Also, why would I have done so?
Would it be because I loved you to death...
that I didn't tell them about the arms storage
regardless of what would happen to my brother?
No. If it was known that there was an arms storage in Banchon
I was afraid that my people in Banchon would be harmed.
But... no matter which side it is...
this is how it was going to turn out.
In the end...
our people in this generation...
weren't able to do anything.
But the people who are locked up in the State Tribunal...
have put their faith in someone like me with no power.
They believe that I will do something for them.
That is why I cannot abandon them.
Is that all?
That is why you will marry me?
You... did not change your belief even with a sword on your neck.
You said you would never marry me! Would never accept being a concubine!
That is who you were.
But now... without any feeling...
only for that petty reason...
you will marry me?
Is that really your only reason?
I am asking why!
Because you are powerful.
What?
- Why do you ignore my kind gesture? - Because you have power.
All of the powerful people I have ever met have only taken things from us.
Take a careful look.
I am not that kind of person!
People like us. I mean...
All of the people in this country...
You have become so powerful, you can erase anyone without a trace.
You...
Stay right here for a moment.
I am someone who is trying not to be that person.
I tried... so hard not to be that person to you.
We are back to the beginning.
I tried so hard for you.
Leave.
Pardon?
Go where you want to go.
With the people you care so much for.
Then...
I will have all of them released.
Leave.
Moo Hyool, Boon Yi...
Now I will become stronger.
And... I will become more lonely.
I am a little late. Were you having a discussion?
They are asking us to go on a picnic.
Picnic?
Yes. Since you have worked so hard
my elders suggest you go outside and relax...
Of course, it will inevitably lead to a discussion of politics.
Yes, I'd like that.
When should we go?
How about in two days? We will find a great place.
Yes, let us meet there.
Moogook, Moo Hyool will return to his hometown.
He will?
Yi Bang Won's luck must have come to an end.
Moogook, how will you handle the death of Prince Jeongan?
We will say that Lee Bang Ji killed Prince Jeongan.
She still does not know that Lee Bang Ji is her own son.
In the midst of a fierce power struggle between Yi Bang Won and Jung Do Jeon
they would kill each other with the revenge taken by Sambong's guard.
That is how it will be recorded in history.
Yes, that is how it should be.
Also... here.
This is jade poison.
Jade poison?
You were able to get it!
The only poison with no color and no smell.
During the chaotic fight tomorrow, kill Yooksan as well.
I will.
But why did you decide Lee Bang Ji will be the assassin of Prince Jeongan?
It will be difficult for Bang Ji to live in this country anyway.
I will help release his resentment...
and open a different path for him.
- It is tomorrow. - I understand.
Ddang Sae.
What will you do after that?
After you kill Yi Bang Won, what will you do with your life?
Don't go back to Boon Yi. Boon Yi will be in danger.
Come with me to the mainland. We will be able to dream a new dream.
After this, our connection will end.
Pardon?
As for the people of Banchon...
make it appear they were taken to a construction site by the north border.
Release them at Mapo Port.
Yes, sire. I understand.
My dear, Moo Hyool and Boon Yi are here.
They would like to see you.
His Highness has gone to bed.
Then we will come back early tomorrow morning.
He is leaving early tomorrow for a picnic.
You don't need to come back.
Nor do you.
Does that mean... he doesn't want to see us?
You must be disappointed, but you do understand.
Farewell. You have gone through a lot.
It has been a long time.
What happened to you?
I have wanted to come and see you.
Pardon me...
Mr. Ok and Myung are dead.
Did you know?
Yes.
That day, something bad happened in Banchon.
Does it have anything to do with it?
It does. Eun Ho also died on that day.
It is really just me now.
- Then... - Excuse me.
Will you leave with us?
Everyone is in the same situation you are.
We are leaving tomorrow.
Two o'clock at Mapo Port.
As we console each other, good things will come to us.
It is an island called Moohaeng Island. There is enough water--
There is something I must do tomorrow.
You said you are alone.
What is it that you have to do?
Five.
I am going to ask five people to take responsibility.
There is something I envied about Tae Mi.
What was it?
There are people who make use of others, and people who are used.
We are ones who are used.
But Tae Mi went beyond.
I am not saying this because he became a powerful man.
I saw him be killed by your hands.
I thought he was dying after being used all his life.
But when I saw his last moments, I knew he had lived for himself.
And?
That revenge...
Is it for yourself?
You will feel very dejected and empty.
Go to Mapo Port. Someone will be waiting for you.
Boon Yi, over there...
Boon Yi!
How did this happen?
- Gap Boon! - Boon Yi...
Boon Yi...
Are you all right? Are you all right?
Of course.
But why are you here?
- Let's leave together. - Leave?
Not to a construction site?
I wondered why we were released suddenly, but you helped us!
Not at all.
Boon Yi...
Thank you.
Really.
- Careful, careful... - Be careful.
Is anyone else coming?
The woman from Chungju. Let's wait a little longer.
The woman from Chungju?
True, she is also from Banchon.
She asked me who the owner of the arms storage was yesterday.
I wonder what that was about.
The arms storage?
Wait... You really won't get to see His Highness before you leave?
Yes. I went early, but he had already left.
I see...
We may have to leave without bidding our farewell.
- Let's go. - Yes.
She is not coming. Let's go.
Please wait!
Maeng Soon, what happened?
The woman from Chungju came and asked me to give this to you.
I truly appreciated that you asked me to come with you.
I will not forget it.
I have a little bit of jewelry left
but I don't think I will have any use for it now.
So I am giving it to you to make good use of.
And I am not from Chungju. I am from Goksan.
Goksan?
How good is Cheok Sa Gwang?
Since she was born a woman, there will be a limit.
But she is the successor of Goksan swordsmanship.
Could it be...
You said she asked about the owner of the arms storage?
Yes. What else did she say?
She asked about how to get to Neorae Hill.
He will leave early tomorrow for a picnic.
There is something I must do tomorrow.
The owner of the arms storage is... Bang Won!
I will be back shortly.
I am glad you came, sire.
Please have a seat this way.
I can't do this.
I really have to tell His Highness before I leave.
Hurry up and go! Your hesitation is so annoying!
- I will be right back. - All right.
Is this how you have been living?
Moomyung?
Why would Moomyung be here?
I have to let him know quickly!
Politics is about good communcation.
What I mean is one must know to pay attention to wise opinions.
Just like His Highness!
Yes, you are right!
How much did we suffer in the past
because of a narrow-minded man named Sambong?
That is true.
We have to get rid of Yi Bang Won's guards quickly.
- Do you understand? - Yes!
Let's go.
I would like to ask you a question.
Cheok Sa Gwang!
Your Highness...
Here...
For this country that will enjoy a thousand years and our pledge!
Let all of us have a drink.
Sir.
- Pardon me... - What is it?
A house servant of His Highness has an urgent message.
Let her in.
Mother?
What is going on? Why is Bang Won with Moomyung?
Should I just say that Cheok Sa Gwang is coming?
No. If Moomyung is with Cheok Sa Gwang...
Boon Yi!
So what message are you here to deliver?
How could Boon Yi be here?
What should I do?
Should I just yell out that it's dangerous?
No... Warrior Moo Hyool is not here. If it gets dangerous...
Just what message are you here to deliver?
Pardon me, sire...
Goksan swordsmanship!
Cheok Sa Gwang!
What is it? Did something happen at home?
Actually...
The message is to throw up the worm.
Why would you say such a thing all of a sudden?
At this point...
Please, Bang Won! Know what it means.
You can understand this.
What on earth are you...
Throw up the worm...
I am going to kill it.
Before you kill it, will you say it just once for me?
I will.
You evil worm, let go of Bang Won right now!
Like that?
Before she kills me... one word...
Yes, I understand.
Lord Ha Ryoon...
we should speak for a moment.
It is not a big deal. I will be back soon.
Why would the leader of Banchon come here?
Stop talking, just walk.
Boon Yi is not a house servant of Prince Jeongan.
Let us begin!
Boon Yi!
Bang Ji.
What are you doing? Attack him!
Moomyung!
Right now! Let's go!
Your Highness!
Yi Bang Won! Chase Yi Bang Won first!
Chase him!
Your Highness.
Please rest in peace.
How could I be overpowered?
Moo Hyool!
Warrior!
I came late, Master.
Can you get us out of here alive?
Warrior Moo Hyool!
Without any trace of mistake, I will execute your order!

The promise you made me as you gave me the ribbon...
Please do not forget about the people's dream.
Only then will you avoid the worm.
Only then, Boon Yi will be able to smile somewhere.
Please be well.
