- Run! - Run!
I met him when I was 12 years old.
He was alone.
- Who are you? - I am the Chancellor's third son,
Wang Lin, from Jeongseung-dong.
Jeongseung-dong?
Yes.
Do my people live there?
(Episode 3)
- Gosh. - Oh, my.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
This is Namdaega.
It is the biggest market place.
I know.
Have you been here before?
I have heard of it.
That one.
Is that taffy?
- Do you want me to buy some? - What do you mean "buy"?
If you want one, you have to buy it.
I will do it.
You can follow me if you want. But...
you have to call me by my name and treat me like a friend.
My name is Won.
- Your Highness. - You are my friend from now on.
Treat me like a friend. It is an order.
He is a lonely person.
Look after him like a friend.
Okay.
However,
do not become his real friend.
He is going to become a king.
He cannot have friends.
I did not know...
what he had meant.
How could someone...
stop feeling a certain way?
- Your... Your Highness. - Yes?
- Are you all right? - Let us go.
Let us go together.
You said the alcohol is hidden at the top, right?
Yes.
To save it for later?
Yes.
Your master must be out of his mind.
That I agree with.
I will only give you 1 cup. Only 1.
Okay.
Let us go inside, and take shelter from the rain.
You should go in first. I will find something to make fire with.
Do you really not recognize who that is?
- I do not know. - Do you remember when...
the wife of the Minister of Finance was attacked?
Yes.
She is the maid we met at their house.
It is strange that I can remember a servant...
that we met seven years ago.
I have unnecessarily good memories.
- I will go in first. - All right.
You should stay here. I will look inside first.
Jung Bae.
Ma No.
Oh Sung.
Jae Cheon.
I was not hurt at all.
Because you protected me at the risk of your lives,
I did not even get a scratch.
Thank you.
I am so sorry.
Rest in peace.
I saw it first.
She was crying.
You.
You are the maid.
You are the one that survived with the young lady.
Tell me.
What were you doing there?
The lady told me these words.
"Do not hate anyone."
"Smile and prance as you always have."
"That is my wish."
I saw her first.
I wanted...
to hold her hand first.
My goodness.
Have you always been slow,
or is it because you associate with so many men...
that you have trouble recognizing men's faces?
- How can you not recognize me? - Someone is talking nonsense.
You lived in Jaha-dong, Kaesong seven years ago, right?
Wow, he stored up so many drinks.
How on earth did he get these in here?
My goodness. Moonbaeju, arakju...
Here it is. Seolloju.
Is there just one jar of this?
Yes, it looks like it.
I can see why this blew him out of his mind.
It is so cold in here.
You are so pale. Are you all right?
Stop talking to me. You make me lose my body heat.
Are you all right?
I am just about to freeze to death. I am so close.
It is so cold.
Everyone is cold in here. You do not have to do that.
Can you set the wood on fire? Everything is wet in here.
It stopped...
raining.
I tried to pick up dry ones. If we try hard enough...
Let us have a glass of arakju each.
That will warm us up.
But these are Master Lee's liquor. Can we do that?
If we die here, it will be harder for him to move our bodies.
It is better for him to lose a jar of liquor.
My gosh.
How is it? Does that warm you up?
This is amazing.
This is nothing like the arakju we had. Try some.
You two.
What?
It does not look like you two are friends. You two look more like...
- No. - What are you denying?
What is she talking about?
What are you talking about?
No matter how I look at it, it seems like...
you two are secretly...
Do not even think about that. That is not the case.
I am so hungry.
It feels like I am being very disloyal.
Me too.
As far as I know, His Highness' food is still on his horse.
And the woman's sack got dropped off of a cliff.
- That means... - His Highness must be starving.
How can you eat right now?
- I can. - You are disloyal.
That I am.
What is with you?
Did the Crown Prince visit Master Lee Seung Hyu?
This is too interesting to keep it to myself.
Is Master Lee that old man who likes to drink?
He is a sly, old fox who wishes to be seen as just an old drunk.
I heard he was exiled because he enraged His Majesty.
His punishment was far less than what he did.
He told His Majesty about the evilness of his state affairs...
as well as his wicked subjects right to his face.
I have heard. His Majesty became angry, and threw a wooden pillow,
yet he kept on listing the faults of His Majesty as he bled.
As he was dragged out by the King's men, he said,
"This is why you are foolish, and this is your current state."
He went into every single detail.
And why would the Crown Prince want to meet a man like him?
His true intention is not important.
The ones who want to speculate and make up the reasons why...
are the ones who will be busy scheming.
Why are you standing so far away from me?
- Because I miss you. - In that case, come closer.
You are too precious.
How can you stand them?
Stand what?
The entire world which is filled with foolish people.
And the stupidity of those so-called...
royal blood.
That was pretty dangerous.
Last month, 7 days. The month before, 9 days.
The month before that, 13 days.
Those are the number of days which the Crown Prince went missing.
Please forgive me.
- So what? - The Crown Prince is someone...
who will reign over the people of Goryeo after you...
I am well aware of what the Crown Prince does. So what?
The assistant royal secretary, Song Bang Yeong,
would like to petition the King for something.
- Do it already. - For the sake of Goryeo,
I suggest you dethrone the Crown Prince.
If the bloodline of Yuan becomes Goryeo's king,
what will happen to us?
What if the Crown Prince gives the nation of Goryeo to Yuan?
What will happen to us?
Assistant Royal Secretary, that is too much.
This is not my opinion.
This is what the people are saying.
If you listen selectively to what the people say,
it can be extremely dangerous.
- Therefore... - Therefore what?
What did you hear from the people, Chancellor?
The Crown Prince has always loved leaving the palace in disguise,
and I know that he does that to learn more about his people.
- Also... - Also,
he wants to learn more about his people...
to teach his foolish King.
- Your Majesty. - You have seen that often.
The way the Crown Prince tries to teach me.
He once said this.
"Why do you always keep the wicked men close by..."
"and the ones who tell you the truth so far away?"
Let me see which of you are loyal and which are wicked.
- I beg your kindness, Your Majesty. - I beg your kindness, Your Majesty.
Do you want me to ask the Crown Prince myself?
All right. Tell him to come.
Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying this.
The Crown Prince has been missing from the palace...
since yesterday.
Bring the Crown Prince to me.
Immediately!
His Majesty called the King's men.
Is he going hunting this late at night?
I believe it is about the Crown Prince.
Well...
The royal court discussed his dethronement once again.
So His Majesty asked for the Crown Prince,
but he was not at his place.
The eunuchs of his place told them the Crown Prince went to Namdaega.
Should we send people and bring him back first?
What if they catch him in a red-light district?
Your Highness, you are here.
Where is the Crown Prince?
He went to Namdaega...
That is close to the palace.
He would not have sent the cavalry.
Please do not harm me, Your Highness.
Where is the Crown Prince?
He is on Mount Duta.
Mount Duta?
There are other valleys or lakes.
Did he leave all those places...
to go up Mount Duta in this weather?
Yes.
Why?
Lee Seung Hyu?
He was removed from his post for giving the King honest advice.
Because of that advice,
the Goryeo people revere him more than they do their King.
The Crown Prince met him?
And in secret?
He cannot be in a valley or lake on Mount Duta.
He must be at...
Lee Seung Hyu's house.
That is where the Crown Prince must be.
If word gets out that the Crown Prince met Master Lee,
he will be charged for treason.
Do whatever it takes.
Set fire to Lee Seung Hyu's house,
or tie up the Crown Prince and bring him here.
Find my son...
in that man's house.
You must do whatever it takes to get there before the King's men.
The Crown Prince never went anywhere near Mount Duta.
She drank a whole jar of wine, and look at her now.
She would not know if she were carried away.
Is she naive or brazen?
How can she fall asleep like this close to two men?
Are you sure she is asleep?
She is.
Look.
Her face is cold.
Maybe your hand is warm.
She is cold.
Should I let her sleep?
It is not good to fall asleep when feeling cold.
Shall we wake her?
Come over here.
Pardon?
Lie on that side.
Come closer.
Okay.
Closer.
She has not changed.
Pardon?
She still looks strange.
Goodness.
What should we do?
How do I know? She is not back yet.
There she is.
What took you so long?
I knew you would wait for me.
You brought the wine. I knew you would.
Come inside.
Who are they?
I let him offer a glass.
- He helped me. - You cannot do that.
Why not?
He only drinks one cup.
Never two.
I will not be able to return.
I plead that you will let me...
So Hwa.
I think I should head to Kaesong.
My mistress' death anniversary is coming up.
What about our hockey match?
I shall visit Kaesong.
Look after yourself, and enjoy the match.
What is this?
You must be giving in for a reason.
My master's food is getting cold.
I will compensate you.
You need to stop putting monetary values on everything.
I do not like to feel uncomfortable, so...
Madam Ansan owns a bar in Kaesong's Namdaega.
Her arakju is the best.
My treat.
Stop!
I shall ask my question.
Ask away.
My family has kept sheep for generations.
With the help of a dog.
Then one day,
a wolf came from the mountains, and impregnated the dog.
A wolfdog was born.
When the wolfdog grows,
will it also become a faithful sheepdog?
How would I know?
It is up to the wolfdog itself.
There is a problem.
A problem?
The flock fears the wolfdog.
They would.
What should become of the wolfdog?
Should we send it away?
Or for fear of what it will become,
should we kill him?
This way.
You must get out with the Crown Prince.
Something is wrong.
Hurry!
Tell us who you are and whom you are here for.
We have the King's orders. Step aside.
Did you say your name was Han Chun?
I did.
Does your name include the character for "language"?
"A spring at the foot of a mountain".
Together, it makes "won".
That character means "endless".
You seem to have gotten an idea that you should not have.
I would like to brag that I guessed...
your identity from your alias.
I saw you very long ago.
You have not changed.
How have you been, Your Highness?
He is not here.
Hello?
Are you looking for the men that were after the master?
I heard they were from Kaesong.
Where are they?
Come this way.
They are secretly talking with Master Lee.
I do not know what they are talking about as we were not allowed inside.
You surprised me.
Who are you?
The Crown Prince...
The Crown Prince has arrived.
Open the door.
Father, I heard...
you were looking for me.
I called you yesterday.
And you dare come here the next day after the sun has risen?
I did not know that the sun had risen so quickly.
All right.
Where have you been?
I was...
trying to learn about the hardships...
that the people had to endure.
So I went on a secret inspection, Father.
You have been drinking in the middle of the day,
and you cannot even lift your head. How can you go on an inspection?
That is...
I am sorry, Father.
If you had been less intelligent...
If you had been more insensitive,
it could have been better...
for both of us.
Take the Crown Prince away.
Open the windows so that the smell of alcohol would go away.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
- Your Highness. - Your Highness.
How dare you take the Crown Prince there?
Do you think I do not know what you are thinking?
You would have wanted the Crown Prince to be caught there.
And then your father would be the first one to say that...
he is seeking conspiracy and needs to be dethroned.
I know that your family is after the Crown Prince.
Do they want your brother to replace him? Or is it you?
You cannot leave his side because you want to replace him.
How dare you try to lure the Crown Prince?
If there is one scratch on my son,
I assure you that I will kill you first.
