Episode 6 Please hurry up and leave now!
- Please leave now! - Court Lady Choi...
- Please leave. Now! - Court Lady Choi...
- I can't go... - Now! Now!
Court Lady Choi...
You... ordered... to kill her?
That child...
How dare you!
Lord Lee!
Ma'am!
What was that sound?
Ma'am...
- Get my horse ready. - Sire!
Now!
Princess...
Princess!
Sire!
His Highness Grand Prince suffocated to death in an over-heated room.
It must've been so painful...
He had no nails left from scratching all over the room.
With this card in his hand...
This card that Her Highness gave him...
Her Highness wasn't enough...
they even took His Highness in the end.
This sorrow... this injustice...
What should we do about these, ma'am?
King...
How dare you, Gwanghae!
Why are you so late?
There are more than a couple of things that I need to take care of!
[Lee Yi Cheom]
Gyeokam's prediction, the grand prince, and even the princess...
Do you think it's easy to bury all of these?
Do you think things will calm down a bit?
I burnt the prediction and got rid of it.
What happened to the grand prince and the princess were accidents.
The queen dowager and the Western faction won't be able to take a stand
when they have no power.
However...
we won't be able to stop gossip from spreading.
Someday, the whole country will gossip
about how the king killed the grand prince and the princess.
You could've just gone step by step and taken care of just Yeongchang...
- What's that? - Am I wrong?
What's the big deal with the girl?
If she ran away, you should've chased for a while and then stopped.
Shut that mouth before I tear it apart!
What's that?
Hey, Lee Yi Cheom...
Let go of me right now!
You can't even tell the difference between feces and bean paste.
Who let the princess run away?
If only you didn't act like an idiot!
Stop right now!
I'm not letting this slip because I like what you're doing.
We could've solved everything by following its natural order.
Natural order?
Lord Jung, if we did that
do you think His Majesty would be sitting on the throne today?
- What? - Look here! Wake up!
Who made His Majesty and the Great Northern faction grab power?
It's all me! Lee Yi Cheom made it happen!
The princess was afraid of being deposed, so she ran away and had an accident.
That's how the story will be spun.
We cut off the bud of the ominous prediction
so the obstacle remaining is the queen dowager.
Please take care of it as soon as Your Majesty's heart settles.
You don't even... lower your head in front of me anymore.
I can kill you.
I can charge you and Lee Yi Cheom for murdering my brother and sister.
Then please do so, sire.
As always...
I only follow Your Majesty's decision.
But, sire...
you already know...
that I only did what you'd have to do someday.
What?
It was an unavoidable path to protect the throne.
You know that better than anyone else.
Yes, the throne!
Just like you said
let's say that all of it was unavoidable to protect the throne.
So, do you really believe...
that the princess and a dead man's prediction were a threat to me?
The one who highlighted the prediction...
the one who can dare to humiliate me and manipulate the throne...
Have you thought about who that could be?
Sire...
If someone else was afraid of that prediction...
and if that person wanted to borrow our hands and cut off the bud...
what would be the thing that he's aiming for?
Do you understand?
So maybe... you and I got played by that hand.
You were foolish to become a puppet
and killed the grand prince and the princess!
[Kang Joo Seon]
[Lee Deok Hyung]
You seem to have been hurt.
Thank you.
If not for you, I'd still be in there.
It can't just be me.
It may also be His Majesty's heart that wants to bury this quietly.
Please.
Her Majesty asked to see you, so I will escort you over there.
Then you met Gyeokam when he was alive?
Yes.
Although I found out too late.
Then the one who made Her Highness run away...
It's because it was Jungmyung, not Yeongchang.
The master of the land that Gyeokam mentioned.
The king must've found out about that...
by dragging out the royal shaman Soo Ryun Gae that I had called.
And I...
I lost both children to the hands of the king.
I swear to Heaven...
I will live through this...
long enough to see the king thrown out from that throne smeared with blood.
I will see the evil ones' limbs torn apart.
Just like my children...
I will make that happen with my own hands.
Ma'am...
Yes...
A very sad, long winter may come to this land.
Shining passion will fall apart...
and pitiful lives will fall like flower pedals.
Days of defeat by lies and injustice will continue.
You will have to live through that world.
[Hong Joo Won] I wasn't able to protect...
the princess... or the grand prince.
[Kang In Woo]
I promised her...
I...
I couldn't do anything.
But, kid...
even then, don't forget this.
[Princess Jungmyung]
It's the people who give victory to barbarism and injustice
but it's also those people who can take back justice.
What's stronger than Heaven's will is... people's will.
Eui...
Don't forget who you are!
You have to survive...
and take back everything you've lost.
I have to go.
There is... no little child in the palace.
There is no one without crime either.
So Yeongchang will have to pay for his crime.
I won't be defeated.
I will return.
To get my younger brother back... and Mother...
To get back my title!
You woke up!
I thought you were going to die. What a relief.
Let's see. You must be seasick.
Who are you?
Tell me...
what your strange words are...
Where am I?
She must be a child from Joseon.
Joseon?
You just said 'Joseon, ' right?
Then you are...
Japanese... A Japanese pirate ship?
Then this ship is...
You were saved from the sea.
And this is a slave ship.
Just like me, you're on the way...
to being sold as a slave to a sulfur mine in Nagasaki.
This ship will arrive there soon.
Slave?
Sulfur... mine?
[Nagasaki, Japan]
Men will remain in town.
Girls and children will be sold to brothels.
Hurry up and move!
What the?
Sit down!
Look, look! He's amazing!
He has all his teeth! He also has both arms and both legs!
He's also strong!
- From 500. 500!
600! 600!
This one.
That one.
And the two we saw earlier.
And give me that one as a bonus.
What? Again?
A thousand mun is enough, right?
You take one or two more every time, and slash the price on top of that?
- No, I won't! I won't sell them to you! - Bring them!
Hey, I said no! Hey! Hey!
- Hurry up and get in there! - Let go of me!
How dare you touch me!
I won't get in there! I can't be sold as a slave!
Do you want to die?
I went easy on him since he's young, but what the heck.
Are you sure he's a boy?
He looks just like a girl.
You're a girl, right?
If they find out, you'll be sold to a brothel
and become a play thing all your life.
So you have to...
say 'otoko, ' a boy!
- Should we undress him and see? - Go ahead!
- Otoko! - What?
I'm 'otoko'! I am a boy!
Wait.
A boy... and from Joseon, on top of that?
Since you're giving away freebies, I want that one too.
What?
He's young and weak, so he won't be sold that easily anyway.
Until next time.
That evil one!
He wants a young one again?
Although they are slaves
he's probably the only one who throws young ones in mines.
Send all of them up to the mine tomorrow.
Young ones go that way!
Take him away!
Get in!
- Let go of me! - Hurry in!
- Let go! - Hurry!
Let go! No! No!
Look! Open the door!
Let me go! Let me out!
I have to go back to Joseon! Look!
Mother...
Did you come from Joseon?
You are! Right?
Are you from Joseon? You too?
Eat. You haven't eaten anything, have you?
No, I'm fine.
It'll be better for you to eat now... to work tomorrow.
Work is really hard, but they only give us two potatoes a day.
By the way... where are we?
We're in a sulfur mine.
We go to the sulfur mine every day and dig for sulfur.
Dig for sulfur in a mine?
Don't even start. It's so scary!
It's really hot because fire is boiling from the ground.
It's hard to breathe because of smoke.
And we don't know when the mountain will explode.
There are a lot of mines like that around here.
Our owner Maruno is the worst of all.
He's the worst? He is?
Yes. Maruno was a slave dragged from Joseon a long time ago.
But he worked to death and became a mine owner.
So there are a lot of slaves from Joseon at this mine.
They are cheap and they can understand the language, too. So...
Then what should I do to get out of here?
What?
I have to return to Joseon. I can't stay here!
Don't say those things!
You can't leave here. If you get caught, you'll die!
What?
Even last month, someone became a water ghost while he was running away.
That's how this place is.
Even if you got lucky and were able to run away
how will you get across the ocean?
By the way, my name is Goo Bok. What's your name?
Where did you live? Did you live in a fishing town like me?
Or... a farmer?
I am...
Mother...
Eui...
You have to be safe, Your Highness.
I will definitely find you.
I will protect the grand prince and I will protect you.
Goodness... why did he drink so much when he can't even handle it?
Joo Won!
[Hong Young] Did you just say 'soldiers'?
Yes. Just a couple who are trustworthy. Is that possible?
If it's your words, yes, it's possible.
But may I ask what it's for?
Later... when everything becomes clear, I will tell you.
Goodness, Young Master! What on earth happened?
Joo Won!
What on earth... Were you drinking wine?
Yes, Father! I drank wine.
- Forgive me, sir. I made Joo Won... - No!
It's not In Woo's fault.
- I did it. - Joo Won!
I'm sorry. Lord Haneum was here, too.
But, Father!
I just couldn't hang on with a clear mind.
I couldn't protect the princess!
I blame myself for it.
After making a promise like that...
I am so pathetic for not being able to do anything even now.
So... I don't think I can do anything anymore.
Reading books, working for the government...
What can I possibly do when I'm like this?
You are... Joo Won, right?
Your name...
I'm sorry.
All of us are too embarrassed to look at you.
Everything was the fault of cowardly grownups.
But we're making you carry the heavy burden.
But even then...
don't let yourself go.
'I can't do anything!'
You shouldn't give up on yourself.
Lord Lee...
We weren't able to show you a better world.
Even if we gather strength again and go forward...
we may be back to where we began.
But you two... shouldn't be defeated in that world.
Even if the winter is scarily long and severe sometimes...
shining buds are growing under the ground.
Do you understand?
You shouldn't be broken by the injustice of today...
but have to believe in a different world of tomorrow.
Sire, this is your servant.
Come in.
Did you check on it?
She works for Kim Gae Shi.
I confirmed that blister beetles used to kill the late king
came in to the palace through that woman.
I believe your assumption is correct.
The dead lamb's body hanging above the throne that day
seems to be the one that was raised in the Royal Stable Administration.
Here is a record of a butchered lamb before it happened.
Then it means...
that it was moved to the Injung Hall through the Royal Stable Administration.
There are over five gates to pass from the Stable Administration to the Hall.
And dozens of royal guards are standing guard at those gates, but...
but it wasn't stopped by anyone?
But, sire, that is impossible, isn't it?
Yes.
But the impossible occurred.
And right in front of my eyes.
There is someone who dares to look down on the king from above.
Sire!
This may not be the end of it.
That power must be reaching everywhere in this palace.
He must've planted people who'll be his eyes and ears everywhere in the palace.
- Open the gate! - But sire...
who could possibly do that in this country?
Yes, I am also curious...
who that person is.
And I must find him!
I'm back.
So, how far along did Gwanghae chase?
Gwanghae is working pretty hard.
Since he found out that this country is not his...
he must be anxious.
Let's take care of the rest... and wrap it up.
He's the king I have to keep under me for a while.
So I should let him focus on state affairs now.
But sir...
weren't you trying to take down the king?
Yes, I meant to do that in the beginning...
because Gwanghae was trying to play with fire.
Gunpowder...
How dare he try to have that kind of power?
It's enough for the king of this country to be a scarecrow that keeps the throne.
The range is not enough to use in a real battle.
I'll do my best to increase the power by changing the ratio, sire.
The priority is to secure quality sulfur.
But... out of nowhere, Nam Sa Go's prediction was found at that time.
The ruler of the land... the one who controls fire?
I couldn't let that kind of prediction go to waste.
Whoever the owner is in the prediction...
I had to get rid of that person.
In the end, you decided to bury the prediction first...
by using Gwanghae.
Then what should we do about Gwanghae now?
We need a clown to keep the throne anyway...
so I'll keep him there for a while until I find a suitable solution.
It's not like there is no way to stop the development of gunpowder.
So... take care of Lee Deok Hyung now.
My initial plan of using him to take down Gwanghae is revised.
Of course...
when you put a hand in a snake pit
don't forget to borrow someone else's hand.
This is to be delivered to Lord Lee Yi Cheom.
- He left already. - Then I'll leave it in the office.
Proper ruling is not next time, or the time after that! It's right now!
When you hold out against this false temptation...
that's when it starts.
Otherwise...
your big goal will be tarnished... and spoiled someday.
[Maruno's Sulfur Mine, Nagasaki]
Hurry up and move!
Hey, over there!
What are you doing?
Get it right.
Your whining was over yesterday. Understood?
He's Ja Dong. Top of the kids, you know?
His father is Japanese, but his mother is from Joseon, so he can speak our language.
He's a bit scary, but he's nice to me.
Make sure to control the new ones.
They'll understand after a few beatings.
Got it.
Boss...
I heard that a smuggling ship is coming to the port.
Are you going?
I'll go and see if anything good came in.
Hey, Maruno!
You are looking better now.
Who'd ever think that you were Jo Gap Soo who used to be mistreated in Joseon...
Stop with your gibberish.
I threw out that name a long time ago.
Did you bring anything worthwhile this time?
Of course I did.
You'll get to touch some Joseon money from now on.
- What? - Come this way.
Hand over the sulfur you get from the mine straight to me.
What are you saying? What are you going to use it for?
What will I use it for? I'll sell it to Joseon of course.
Sulfur to Joseon?
It's hot. Too hot...
Get up! Get up quickly! You'll be in big trouble!
I can't do it.
Get up!
Spare me! Forgive me just this time!
Still, this kid!
Stop.
I'll do it.
Maruno told me to manage all of them.
Go away and watch others.
Get it together.
Thanks.
I can't breathe...
I feel like my body is burning up.
Really?
Then die.
I told you that going easy on you was over yesterday.
I don't use whips.
I won't even say anything.
If you act weak and trouble other kids...
you will die in my hands.
Are you saying that the current king
killed off the proper bloodline of the late king?
If not him, who could it be?
But... what does that have to do with sulfur?
There is a rumor... that the reason the king killed all of them to gain power
is to make gunpowder.
Gunpowder?
The king of Joseon?
- You're early. - Good morning.
Why do you act like you were stealing food from a party?
I just happened to find this...
I guess this came for you.
Why are you going through someone else's stuff?
It was here, so I saw it. I was curious.
Yes, you're curious about a lot of things. You're a very curious person.
By the way...
aren't you going too far with the patronage?
Now even Haneum Lee Deok Hyung is sending you a bribe?
What did you say?
Who sent what?
I mean that one. Haneum sent it to you.
It looks like some medicinal ingredient...
[Haneum]
This is...
Are you asking if you can meet with the late king's physician, Lord Heo Joon?
Yes, I heard you are friends with him.
I heard that he came back to the city from home not too long ago.
Then can I meet him right away?
Please.
There is something I have to confirm with him.
The late king's physician, all of a sudden?
What's going on, Haneum?
Kim!
Here.
- What is this about? - We're in big trouble.
Someone knows... that we poisoned the late king.
What?
Look at this.
These blister beetles were sent under Haneum's name.
Are you all right?
What about you? Didn't you get hurt?
Of course. But this happens every day.
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
It's fine, so just eat. We have to hurry back out.
What?
It's...
I guess you had a good living in Joseon.
Can't you see right away?
He can't eat things like this.
Really?
Then can I eat this?
Water!
- What's that dagger? - Why? You scared?
It's not that...
When I really can't handle it anymore...
I'll cut someone I hate the most.
Then I'll cut my own neck. That's why I carry it around.
No one can leave here unless they die.
Whatever you were in Joseon, it'll be better for you to forget it.
Here, you're just a slave like us.
After a couple of days, you'll even grab dirt to have something to eat.
Don't dare to say whatever you want.
How would someone as low as you know me?
I won't forget who I am.
And I will definitely leave this place alive.
Definitely.
Whatever you were in Joseon, it'll be better for you to forget it.
You can't leave here unless you die.
Haneum was staying in a place like this?
[Royal Medical Record. Autopsy Record]
- Hey, you... - What is that?
Why is the water...
Damn it.
- What is it? - Run away.
- It will explode soon. - What?
Can't you hear me? The mountain will explode!
This is...

[Hwajung]
How could this happen...
How!
Haneum sent it to us himself?
We have to hurry and get rid of Haneum.
Don't worry. I'll be fine.
Gain everything or lose everything.
That's power.
Gwanghae is the king.
The king who can abandon everything.
Envoys?
As promised, I'll make sure to save him.
Even if I get caught and die, I am going.
