Chunchu, are you alright?
We have to find out what Bihyeong did to His Majesty.
You want to fight me in that condition?
Did you really murder His Majesty?
If you want to know what happened to him, kill me.
Yusin!
Master!
The royal soldiers are headed this way.
We'll have to settle this at a later time.
Bihyeong, where is His Majesty?
- Bihyeong! - Yusin!
Let him go.
We have to guard the royal shrine.
The queen's soldiers are almost here.
We have to get His Majesty out of here.
Bihyeong hid him somewhere.
What? Bihyeong?
Really?
We have to guard the royal shrine.
We have to show the people that royal authority and cause is with the princess.
Okay.
This shrine serves King Jinheung who established Hwarangdo.
We will not let the traitors take over.
Attack formation!
We will attack the traitors.
Yes, sir.
Bring the criminals.
What are you going to do with us?
You will all live in eternal bliss.
How dare you?
Aren't you afraid of the heavens?
Why are you slaughtering the families of the Jingol leaders?
Nine generations of the traitors' families will be executed.
If you wanted to be disappointed, blame your husbands and sons.
Mother!
Kill them all!
Mother!
Munhui, run!
You have to save your baby. Go!
Munhui!
Munhui, are you alright?
Father...
Save the hostages!
Don't worry. I'll save them.
In formation!
Honey.
Why did you come so late?
Calm down.
You're alright.
Honey.
Are you injured?
I'm alright, but many of the hostages are injured or dead.
Go with Horim and take the hostages to safety. Leave here to me.
Will you be alright by yourself?
They're just a bunch of misfits. Go on.
Okay. Come with me.
Stand up.
Please be careful.
I'll be right behind you after I kill them all.
Go now.
Kill them all!
Retreat!
I'll defend the royal shrine. Go and save the hostages.
Okay. Do a good job.
Manchun, you were blinded by success and abandoned loyalty.
I will cut off your head and show you the dignity of a general.
Quiet.
I will cut off the head of a lowly Gaya man.
Kill them all!
Do no retreat!
We must allow the hostages to get to Saryanggung safely.
Stand back.
You'll have to kill me to pass.
You are indeed Kim Yusin's father.
I'll fight you.
Stop!
What are you doing?
Did you forget we are not to fight until the meeting of the Jingol leaders?
I'm getting revenge for the Gwimun soldiers he killed.
I said stop!
He is an enemy of Gwimun. Why are you stopping me?
Because he is Kim Yusin's father?
Are you being insubordinate to your master?
How is his wound?
It's fatal.
I don't think he'll make it.
I'm going to die anyway, kill me and let me die like a general.
I have deep regret about killing the Gwimun soldiers who came to surrender.
Kill me for revenge and stop committing treason.
Kill me now.
Father!
Do it.
Now...
No!
Let's go.
This is our chance to kill Kim Yusin.
I will kill you if you disobey my order one more time.
I will follow your order.
Bihyeong!
I will not forgive you!
Father!
I'm here.
Open your eyes!
Father!
Open your eyes.
Father!
Yusin, don't hold any grudges.
Live for the cause.
Yusin. Yusin...
Father, wake up.
Father!
Is anyone here?
Father, open your eyes!
Father!
Open your...
You're so heartless.
I lived for you.
How could you leave me?
Father...
The king disappeared and you lost the hostages.
How am I to trust you to achieve the great cause?
Myorang, you swore loyalty to Bihyeong. He didn't tell you where the king was?
He doesn't seem to trust me fully yet.
Bihyeong, how dare you betray me?
Watch every move Bihyeong makes.
She was hiding in the rear garden.
What should I do with her?
She wasn't supposed to be born.
Bury this with her, so she isn't lonely.
This is...
Why do you have this?
My real mother gave it to me as a memento.
What?
Who is your mother?
I don't know.
I was just told she was at the palace.
How can this be?
What happened?
I told you to take care of it, so there won't be any problems.
Please forgive me.
Bihyeong appeared at that moment.
What?
Capture Bihyeong right now!
You must be thirsty. Drink some water.
What does Bihyeong want?
Why is he humiliating me like this?
Just kill me.
He brought you here to save your life.
If you stayed at the royal shrine, the queen's soldiers would have killed you.
Sino, if you really want to save me, let me go.
I will give you wealth and honor.
I don't want wealth and honor by betraying my master.
You will be able to return to the palace when the prince takes the throne.
Please be patient until then.
Even someone from a low class like you is loyal to her master.
Where are all the servants and generals who were loyal to me?
The meeting of the Jingol leaders has to be called quickly
to decide regency for justification.
If not, there will be more bloodshed.
Shouldn't we find out if His Majesty is alive first?
If Bihyeong took His Majesty, he should be alright until the coronation.
The pungwolju is right.
The meeting of the Jingol leaders has to be held to prevent further bloodshed.
Will the queen accept a meeting?
I will meet her and settle the matter.
Leave it to me.
You are in mourning.
I'm sad I lost my father, but the sadness of losing a country would be greater.
My father would want me to do this for my country.
Yusin, you could die.
I am prepared for that. I will settle this matter.
Yusin will have a grudge. You should clear up the misunderstanding.
You were friends for over 20 years.
This might be better.
We can both fight for our causes without hesitation now.
Master.
Yeonhwa was captured at the palace.
What? Really?
Your Highness, Kim Yusin is here to see you.
What? Yusin?
Your Highness, how have you been?
Did you get lost because of sorrow over the loss of your father?
You dared to walk in here by yourself?
Did you come to get revenge for your father?
I left my grudge behind because I didn't want my father's death to go to waste.
You respect the laws of the Divine Land.
I'm sure you won't hurt a man who is mourning his father's death.
Why did you come here?
Please accept a meeting of the Jingol leaders.
What?
Loyalty is divided and there is much bloodshed.
Public sentiment is lost and the country is about to fall.
What's the use of regency in that situation?
I ask out of loyalty.
Please hold a meeting of the Jingol leaders and settle this matter.
If they decide to give you regency,
I will swear loyalty to you and give my body and soul for this country.
What if I refuse?
After holding my father's funeral, I will get revenge for my father.
Nobody here will be able to live, including you.
How dare you?
Your Highness, give us the order to kill him.
I will give you an answer before the funeral is over.
Go and wait.
I trust you will make a wise decision for the sake of this country's future.
Why don't you kill Kim Yusin?
It won't be too late to wait until he kills Bihyeong.
Yusin!
I'm glad you returned safely.
The queen is going to make a decision before the funeral is over.
You did well.
If I were you, I would have abandoned the cause and wanted revenge.
I wanted to kill them all and get revenge for my father.
I think it would be better to vomit blood and endure pain.
But I'm sure my father wouldn't want that.
You endured well.
I'm sure your father would be proud of you.
I will not forgive Bihyeong.
I will cut off his head and offer it to my father's grave.
That will be the only way to wash away this pain and rage.
Yeonhwa!
Mother!
Are you alright?
- Let's get out of here. - Okay.
You despicable little...
How could you deceive me for such a long time?
Your Highness, you're mistaken.
Can you still say I'm mistaken?
- Mother! - Yeonhwa!
Mother!
Why did you raise that child?
Tell me now!
Stop!
Yeonhwa is not your daughter.
What?
When you gave her up for power, you cut off your ties with her.
Yeonhwa is a daughter of Gwimun.
Are you trying to deceive me?
We will take this secret to our graves.
Let her go.
Can you swear on your life?
I swear.
When the prince takes the throne,
Yeonhwa will leave Seorabeol and never return.
Where is the king?
He is in a safe place. Don't try to find him.
Fine.
I will keep her here until the king returns.
Fine, but nothing had better happen to her.
Sino.
Kim Seohyeon commanded our army and defeated the Goguryeo army.
He achieved merit in taking Nangbiseong.
At a time of national crisis,
he showed loyalty by sacrificing his personal interests for the public good.
I am posthumously appointing him as sopan. ~Sopan: Third highest position~
He will be given a loyal servant's funeral.
Has the queen made a decision regarding the meeting of the Jingol leaders?
She accepted the meeting.
She made a wise decision.
I will send the pungwolju to explain how the meeting will be held.
Sangdaedeung, it's been a while.
You must be grieving over the loss of your son-in-law.
Why did you want to see me?
Will I be able to become regent at the meeting?
I don't know who will become regent.
I was going to leave national affairs to you if I became regent.
Can you gather the majority toward me?
It's no use trying to make me waver.
I'm just trying to establish a foundation for the royal family.
You are the only person who can support the young prince and lead the court.
Think about it.
The prince is my son.
Who should become regent.
If you support me at the meeting, I will not forget it.
Don't hesitate. Kill me.
Get revenge for you father.
Why did you kill my father?
Why!
I will kill anyone who gets in the way of the prince taking the throne.
Even you.
Kill me and get revenge for your father before I change my mind.
If you tell me it wasn't you, I will believe you.
I killed your father.
If you can't kill me now, Yusin will die by my hands.
You're so mean.
I can't stop loving an enemy who killed my father.
I'd rather...
Don't be foolish.
What am I to do?
If you can't kill me now,
don't even come looking for me again.
If I take the princess's side, I will become the prince's enemy.
If I take the prince's side, I will lose trust.
What should I do?
Grandfather, it's Yusin.
What is that?
It's what father used when he closed his eyes.
The meeting of the Jingol leaders became possible because
father made a sacrifice like this.
I will not forgive anyone who makes his sacrifice go to waste.
Why are you saying that?
You know the fate of this country depends on this meeting.
I'm sure you will go with our cause.
This meeting is important since it will decide the future of Silla.
You will decide on His Majesty's abdication and the prince's coronation.
You will also decide who will be regent in place of the prince.
As the person who called this meeting in place of His Majesty, I ask you.
Our country is divided with bloodshed.
Please unite so this crisis can be overcome.
I'm sure the Jingol leaders will put aside personal interests and
make a wise decision out of loyalty for this country.
Let me ask for your votes regarding His Majesty's abdication and
the prince's coronation first.
His Majesty has already lost the authority to rule on national affairs.
If we postpone the abdication, this country will fall.
I agree to the prince's coronation.
I agree.
- I agree. - I agree.
I agree.
- I agree. - I agree.
Your Highness, they decided on His Majesty's abdication.
It's time to get rid of any obstacles that get in the way of our future.
It is unanimous.
We now have to decide on regency.
If you want the queen to become regent, vote on this side.
If you want the princess to become regent, vote on this side.
I vote for the queen's regency.
The queen caused hostility and division in court.
Our country will be in danger if she becomes regent.
I vote for the princess's regency.
I vote for the queen's regency.
I vote for the princess's regency.
I vote for the queen's regency.
It's a tie.
The sangdaedeung's vote will be the decisive vote.
His vote will decide who will become regent.
Make your vote.
You know the fate of this country depends on this meeting.
I'm sure you will go with our cause.
I vote for the princess's regency.
The princess's regency has been decided.
I will announce the decision of the meeting of the Jingol leaders.
I cannot accept this decision!
Chilsuk!
Do you dare challenge this decision?
Die!
Kill them all!
Protect the officials!
Kill the princess!
What's going on?
The queen must have other intentions.
You have to get out of here.
Protect the princess!
