What's going on?
Why is Yusin's sister here?
You don't remember what happened last night?
Last night?
I remember drinking with Heunsun.
Did I do something to you?
Last night, you...
Chunchu, are you awake?
Are you still sleeping?
You're awake.
You must not feel well from all that drinking.
We should relieve your hangover.
I have urgent matters at the office. I have to go.
I'll see you later.
Chunchu. Chunchu!
What's the rush?
Munhui!
You scared me.
Where did you spend the night?
I was nervous that mother would find out.
I went to watch the Hwarangdo game.
Don't tell mother.
A young mother shouldn't wander around at night.
Where is your earring?
I don't know.
You don't remember what happened last night?
Last night, you...
No.
It can't be.
If I did anything to her...
How will I face Yusin and my wife?
The surveillance officer impeached a court leader and Hwarangdo with false evidence.
Chunchu must be punished for deceiving Your Majesty and the court.
The people are free of high interest loans because of him.
That deserves more merit.
Are you saying we should let him wield absolute power?
He stopped the secret salt transactions and people have salt now.
If he isn't punished, the Office of Surveillance could have more power.
Chunchu fulfilled his duties.
I will overlook his actions of impeaching the sangdaedeung and Hwarangdo.
I will give out money to cancel all the high interest debts.
Areas with droughts will be exempt from taxes.
Come up with measures to save people who are suffering from the drought for 3 years.
His Majesty trusts the two of you.
The Office of Surveillance will set public opinion straight and
Hwarangdo will take the lead in fighting foreign invasions.
I will give everything I have to show His Majesty's grace.
Chunchu.
Yusin.
I would like the two of you to train Boro.
Boro?
His Majesty stripped him of his position and kicked him out of the palace.
Father is a kind and wise man.
He did that to protect him from a divided court.
Teach him well so he can set this country straight.
The princess told Chunchu to train Boro?
If she unites the court to have him installed as the crown prince, he will be a great threat.
Boro must not return to the palace.
Bohui and Munhui.
You are both pretty and graceful.
I'm happy with the both of you.
Who should I choose to please His Majesty?
Choose an object you think it precious to a royal concubine.
Bohui, why did you choose the mirror?
A woman who serves the king should always look in the mirror.
Every word and action should be reflected on.
I see.
Why did you choose the dagger?
A woman who serves His Majesty is his closest servant and citizen.
This sword is to say she should be willing to die to help
His Majesty carry out politics in a proper manner.
She should be willing to die?
Are you saying you would side with enemies, ruin politics and take the queen's position?
That's not it. I just...
Quiet!
This dagger is to cut the tongues of royal concubines who cause trouble.
I could kill you right now as an example and nobody would blame me.
Your Highness, it's my fault.
She is still immature.
Please forgive her with your generosity.
Your Highness, please forgive my sister.
I only answered your question truthfully.
Please tell me what I did wrong.
Didn't anyone teach you that a royal concubine
must not be involved in politics?
I learned a loyal servant should tell the truth to the royal family.
A loyal servant?
You are indeed Yusin's sister. You are bold.
I will forgive you for the sangdaedeung's sake.
If you ever utter such impious words again,
you will not live.
Why did you say that?
You almost got into serious trouble.
I don't know why giving advice to His Majesty is a sin.
The tongue can be more dangerous than a sword in court.
Bohui, remember that.
Munhui...
She's pretty wild.
I heard you chose the dagger when you first came to the palace.
Yes, I did.
But one queen is enough for this country.
The king must fear the people as he fears the heavens.
If he doesn't know why they are happy or why they are suffering,
his reign will collapse.
Come and get me.
Protect Boro.
Move!
Out of the way!
Move!
Move! Move!
Move!
What?
Why are you stealing?
This is a government ID you can't even sell.
Please forgive me.
I was told I'd get paid a silver coin if I lured you.
What? Lure me?
Yes.
Sir!
Are you alright?
What are you doing here?
We were told you were in danger.
You mean Boro is alone?
Boro.
Where is he?
Did you see Boro?
We went to that alley.
- He did? - Come with me.
- Find Boro and his mother. - Yes, sir.
Foreign merchants take children and demand money.
It must be their doing.
Someone went after Boro on purpose.
It's my fault.
I will have to give my life if I can't find him.
Don't blame yourself.
All roads out of Seorabeol have been blocked.
We'll find him.
Sir!
Suspicious people took what looked like Boro and his mother to Tongamsan.
I used to serve His Majesty.
There will be consequences if you harm me.
The queen ordered me to sell you in Baekje and kill your son.
The queen?
She would never give such an order.
If you want to blame anyone, blame her.
I'm just following orders.
Why are you telling them everything?
They're going to die anyway.
I'm sorry.
Please.
You can kill me, but please spare my son.
Chunchu, I'll attack and lure them away.
Save them while I do that.
Let's go.
Stop!
I'm the former pungwolju, Kim Yusin.
I came to save them.
Surrender and let them go.
Kim Yusin, I've been waiting for you.
Kill them all!
Sh.
You have to get out of here.
My lady.
Hurry. Hurry.
- My lady! - Mother!
Mother...
Be sure to save Boro.
Boro...
Mother!
Who gave the order?
Why are you trying to kill him
- Officer! - Officer!
Officer!
Boro.
Boro!
Mother.
Boro.
Mother.
Boro.
Boryang died and Boro hangs between life and death.
Who and why would anyone try to kill Boro?
The Office of Surveillance is interrogating his abductor.
Boryang might have been kicked out of the palace,
but she served your Majesty for years.
She should receive a proper funeral, so her soul can be comforted.
Do as you wish.
This will continue as long as you don't decide a successor.
You must install a crown prince and establish order in the royal family.
Who am I to install as the crown prince?
Who?
Mother.
Boro, are you awake?
Princess.
The princes prayed so much that you would get better.
Your Highness, spare me. Please spare me.
Boro, what's wrong with you?
Boro.
Boro, wake up.
Call the doctor.
Boro, wake up.
Who ordered you to abduct Boro?
We're going to need an interpreter.
We must find out who was behind this.
There is a guest from Yusin's place.
What brings you here?
I know you're busy, but I wanted to give you this.
What is it?
The clothes you wore at the game.
I'm not that good, but I fixed them.
It doesn't look like you're very happy to see me.
Forgive me if this was rude.
Wait.
I had too much to drink that night. I don't remember anything.
Did I do anything to harm you?
Nothing happened.
No matter what happened, it's nothing if you can't remember.
Please tell me the truth.
If I did you wrong, I should beg for forgiveness to you and Yusin.
You didn't do anything wrong.
If there was any wrong, it was by me.
I don't want to hang on to you.
What's going on?
Honey.
Who are you?
Why are you crying in front of my husband?
What's the problem?
Honey.
I...
I'm Yusin's sister, Munhui.
I came to give him his clothes from the soccer game.
I asked about my father.
I was just reminded of my father who is all alone on an island.
Yusin and my husband are like brothers.
I would like to be close with you, too.
If you ever need to talk, come over to our place.
Thank you.
I'll get going now.
She is pretty and proper as Yusin's sister should be.
Let's go in.
Boro lost his mother and his mind.
He will not be mentioned as a candidate to be the crown prince.
Make sure the merchant who was arrested can't talk.
It seems like there's a relationship between Chunchu and Yusin's sister.
What do you mean?
What?
I don't understand.
Chunchu is so upright. Why did he do that?
What?
Her Highness chose Munhui, not Bohui?
How could I know what she is thinking?
The decision won't be final until she is introduced to the princess.
Her Highness gave this velvet. Make her a dress before she goes.
I don't want to be a royal concubine.
Grandfather, ask Her Highness to decide on Bohui.
Stop being so immature.
This is for the safe return of your father and your brothers' futures.
Don't you know that?
She's right.
You will have to do your best to produce a son for His Majesty.
I thought you were an immature girl.
You look lovely today.
I have a good eye for people. Don't I, princess?
If you are satisfied, I agree to accepting her as a royal concubine.
The royal family serves His Majesty and sets an example for everyone.
Be careful with everything you say and do.
I am honored that you are happy with my granddaughter.
I will choose a fortuitous day for His Majesty to accept you.
A royal concubine has been decided. Let us drink.
Your Highness.
I don't deserve to receive His Majesty's grace.
What do you mean by that?
I already have someone I love.
What?
Someone you love?
Having someone you loved is no fault.
It is royal custom not to ask about your past, so don't worry.
I am carrying his child.
What?
You accepted this while carrying a child?
Did you expect to live after deceiving the royal family?
I am so sorry.
Tell me.
Who is this man who made you be disloyal to His Majesty?
I will accept any punishment.
It is my fault. He has no fault at all.
How dare you?
Where do you think you are?
Showing contempt for His Majesty and the royal family is a crime in itself.
Are you trying to cover up his sins, too?
Your Highness.
I was generous to you before.
Are you deceiving me again?
Please calm down.
She hasn't been installed as the royal concubine yet.
I won't let this go.
She will be punished as an example.
Nobody shows contempt for the royal family.
She will be punished and so will the sangdaedeung.
Your Highness.
Do you want to ruin our family?
Your mother ran off and caused us suffering for a long time.
Are you going to follow in her footsteps?
- That's a bit excessive. - What's excessive?
My family is about to be ruined because of her.
Your father will never set foot in Seorabeol again and
your brothers will not be able to enter the court.
Do you still think I'm mean?
The priority right now is to solve this problem.
Her Highness said she would let it go if you give his name.
Who is the father?
Munhui, tell him.
Please forgive me.
I can't tell you.
What?
You really want to ruin our family?
Please calm down.
I will talk to her.
Come on.
Ooh! Ooh!
Who did this to you?
I will kill him myself.
Her life and the future of our family depends on this.
Control your temper. Don't be rash.
Fine.
I'll keep my mouth shut and get a drink.
You must be tired. Get some rest.
We'll talk about this later.
I'm sorry.
Munhui didn't come home the day of the soccer game.
I think she might have given the man one of her earrings.
What? An earring?
I have urgent matters at the office. I have to go.
I will see how you solve this problem.
No matter how hard you try,
your reputation will be ruined and your friendship will be destroyed.
If I'm to save Munhui, Chunchu will be harmed.
If I'm to save Chunchu, Munhui will have to die.
What am I to do?
Why do you have this?
How long have you been with Chunchu?
It was just one night after the soccer game.
He was drunk and doesn't know anything.
Why?
It's all my fault.
I'd rather die than cause him any harm.
Aren't you afraid to die?
I am.
I'm afraid just to think about it.
But if his reputation is disgraced because of me,
I will regret it all my life.
I will gladly die if that would save him.
I feel so sorry for Munhui.
What are you talking about?
Didn't you hear?
Did something happen to her?
She was selected as a royal concubine.
It turns out she had a lover.
Her Highness was in rage when she heard Munhui was pregnant.
Munhui and Yusin's family are all in danger.
What's wrong?
I have to see Yusin.
I'm going to burn Munhui's sins.
Anyone who resists this will be punished for being disloyal.
If that's your decision, I will not be against it.
Father, how can you give such a cruel punishment to her?
This family cannot be maintained if we are enemies with the queen.
I will accept her punishment instead.
It is right to sacrifice Munhui than have the family ruined.
Father.
Bring her.
Munhui.
Munhui!
You can't do this. No!
You can't die before your parents.
It's not too late.
Give the name of the man.
Save yourself and the baby.
Forgive me, mother.
Yusin, are you really going to kill Munhui?
I made the decision in father's place.
This is the only way to save father and this family.
Bohui, take mother inside.
Munhui.
Munhui! Munhui!
Are you ready?
Step up.
I can't let you do this. Stop it!
Move.
Munhui has to die for all of us to live.
I'm going to find the man and kill him.
Tie her up.
Munhui.
Munhui!
Munhui.
I will accept my punishment after the Three Kingdoms have been unified.
It was my decision.
I don't blame you and I'm not disappointed with you.
Munhui.
Start the fire.
Munhui.
Stop!
What are you doing?
Stop right now.
I cannot obey that order.
What?
You dare to refuse my order?
Make way.
This is out of loyalty for you.
If you pardon her, it will cause internal dispute in court.
I cannot obey your order for the sake of this country.
Nobody can stop this until all the firewood burns.
Yusin.
No. No.
Stop!
