The poppy field?
You want me to help you find the poppy field?
(Episode 32)
You remember that place, do you not?
Please.
Please help me save the children dying there.
You are wasting your efforts.
The Crown Prince is already dead.
Who will save those children?
I will save them.
Why you...
Do you not value your life?
You always said...
Those in power must lose their balance for us not to get hurt.
Thus, we must not take anyone's side.
But look.
We did nothing and waited,
and the world now belongs to Pyunsoo Group and Dae Mok.
Must we hope we do not upset Pyunsoo Group...
and protect our lives so pitifully?
I am sure the poppy field...
is not far from the capital.
If it were far from the capital,
it would be difficult to transport them.
There is the risk of losing the goods to bandits as well.
They would be too visible...
if they send many men to safeguard them from bandits.
So? Even if it is near the capital,
it would take 10 years to search every mountain nearby.
That is true. It may even take longer.
Then why are you sitting here like this?
If we get caught, we may lose our lives.
We must find the poppy field and the poppy flowers...
in order to make an antidote.
If the Crown Prince were alive,
he would have done that.
You are driving me insane.
What brings you here?
How did you know we were here?
I did not know.
I came just in case you were, so that I could see you.
My lady.
What were you doing under the blanket?
I...
A mouse. There was a mouse...
You are searching for something.
Something very dangerous.
That is correct.
We are searching for their poppy field.
I think I can help.
I am the one who drew this map.
What do you mean? How could you...
I also...
made poppy pills as a child,
just like Yang, who died.
I apologize for not telling you sooner.
Lee Joong Gyung.
Minister of Justice.
Kang Si Heon is Minister of Public Works.
It is true that...
Dae Mok controls the court.
The Queen Dowager as well?
Who goes there? Who do you work for?
Stop!
Someone got into the poppy vault?
Yes, master.
Who would dare sneak into the heart of...
The vault is where our power comes from.
If someone is after the vault,
we must find out who it is and kill him.
- Hwa Gun. - Yes, Master Dae Mok.
Go straight to the vault and find out who the intruder was.
Guard it well so that no one dares to break in again.
Yes, master.
I believe I told you to never show yourself again.
Are you refusing to obey my command?
What are you thinking?
Whatever you are thinking, whatever you are doing,
I will help you.
Can you betray my grandfather if I command you to?
My lady.
I thought long and hard what I should do for you.
But I failed to find an answer.
Give me your command.
I will obey.
I am going to the poppy field. Be prepared.
What took you so long?
What happened to you?
I was...
It is nothing.
Check the amount.
Yes, master.
There is a drought and a spark can create a big flame.
Keep the workers under control.
Yes, master.
Hwa Gun.
Grandfather sent me to find out about the intruder.
I am sure it was nothing.
Hunters and peasants are known to take a wrong turn...
and end up here.
Right.
It is the first day of the month and I must oversee the delivery.
I will return when I am done.
Take your time and look around.
See you soon.
- Were we followed? - No.
You said you would obey any command I gave.
Yes.
Gon, I will burn down...
this poppy field.
What my grandfather values the most.
I will take it from him.
Will you obey?
Yes, my lady.
Go and see if...
Chung Woon is really locked up in here.
I will.
Your Highness.
I will end this fight for you.
This is...
the last thing...
I can do for you.
You will soon be appointed a Royal Concubine.
His Majesty the King sent...
clothes, accessories,
and court ladies and maids to look after you.
Chief Eunuch.
You will be given Senior Rank Two.
I am now below you in rank.
Chief Eunuch.
If you refuse the gifts the King bestowed upon you,
they will be punished for not serving you properly.
You must know that already.
I beg of you, my lady.
We used to float lanterns together as children.
Do you remember?
We are alone here.
I ordered everyone else to leave us.
I remember.
Were we 10?
We made a wish...
and ran along the river watching our lanterns go.
Until we could see them no more.
What wish did you make?
I do not remember...
what I wished for.
I wished that I would become...
a man worthy of standing before you.
Since then, no, since way before then,
I have loved you.
The palace is the safest place where you can be.
But Sun...
It is just...
to deceive the others for a while.
I will not appoint you...
a concubine.
Thank you, Sun.
Is it...
because of the Crown Prince?
It is because of me.
He is dead...
because of me.
That is not true.
It is because of me.
He is dead because of me.
No, Sun. Dae Mok...
would have made...
anyone he wanted a fake king.
A fake?
You are right.
I am a fake.
But my heart...
is true, my lady.
Everything is ready.
It is time.
Let us go...
and save Chung Woon.
Who is locked up in there?
Answer immediately.
Gon, stop!
Lady Kim.
Your Highness.
You are alive.
Thank you.
Thank you for being alive.
What are you...
doing here?
You came to...
save Chung Woon, right?
Chung Woon...
Chung Woon!
Your Highness.
Is that...
really you, Your Highness?
I am really sorry...
for coming so late, Chung Woon.
I knew you would be alive.
Chung Woon.
Do you think you can move?
Even after losing one of my eyes,
I am still a better fighter than you.
So do not worry.
But how did you find this place?
The location of the initiation is close enough to the poppy field...
that they are connected by a secret tunnel.
I am not sure how you managed to survive...
The guards will be arriving soon.
It is too dangerous here. The guards may arrive soon.
- You should leave quickly. - I...
cannot leave alone.
I shall save all the children in here and leave with them.
I have watched those children who make poppy pills.
They handle the poison with their bare hands.
The poison seeps through their skin.
When a fatal dose is absorbed, red spots appear.
Then the children...
will end up dying.
Is my prediction right?
- Yes. - You discard the dead bodies...
and bring in new children.
You are right.
Why does it have to be...
young girls, of all people?
I heard they make those with small and fragile hands...
pick the petals so that the poppy will not be damaged.
I was left in the woods when I fell down after eating a poisonous weed.
That place was...
where they threw away the dead bodies of children who worked here.
A dying girl gave me water.
That is how I survived.
I will not...
let those children wait for their deaths.
I will...
save them now.
My lady.
I understand.
Save the children.
We will distract the guards so that they do not suspect anything.
The sun will rise soon, so be careful.
Thank you, Lady Kim.
I will see you again.
My lady, are you sure about this?
If they let the children escape...
Gon.
I think I need to use the whip of Pyunsoo Group to stop the guards.
Do not tell me...
No, my lady. If you use the whip for that man,
Master Dae Mok will not let it slide.
Gon,
you are my person, right?
Yes, my lady.
Let us go.
No.
Do not be frightened.
We came to save you.
Well... Listen.
We are not one of them.
Do not be afraid.
- Hurry and come with us. - Do not scare them.
Do anyone of you...
know who Yang is?
What is your name?
It is Oh Wol.
Yang sent us to save you.
Yang asked us to help save you.
Please trust and follow me...
so that I can keep my promise with her.
Where is she now?
She is well with her parents.
We will take you to your parents, so hurry and follow us.
I am sorry, Oh Wol.
I will tell you the truth.
Actually, Yang...
died.
I know.
We all die when red spots appear on our bodies.
It does not help even if we eat poppy pills.
We will die anyway, so why should we run away?
I...
do not want...
you to die.
I will...
find a way...
to save you until the end.
Guys.
Let us follow these men and run away.
This way.
- The kids are running away! - Goodness!
- Hurry and run! - The children are out!
Catch them.
The children are running away! Go catch them!
Quickly.
What are you waiting for?
Get them!
Everyone, stop!
You are the guards of Pyunsoo Group.
Then...
you must know the meaning of this whip.
All of you shall follow my order.
- Yes, my lady. - Yes, my lady.
Let them go.
- But... - I...
am Master Dae Mok's granddaughter and the leader of Pyunsoo Group.
Will you dare defy me?
Hurry and go now.
Hurry.
Hey!
What are you doing?
Why are you not chasing the intruder?
The head of Pyunsoo Group said to let them go.
What? The head...
If she wants to die, she should die alone.
Get up. Go after them!
- Yes, master. - Yes, master.
- Hurry! - Yes, master.
My lady.
You need to go ahead without me.
- What about you? - Leave it to me.
But they saw you help me.
It is dangerous. Come...
I am Dae Mok's granddaughter.
Nothing will happen to me.
- But... - My name...
is Hwa Gun.
You must be safe,
Hwa Gun.
Your Highness, you must hurry.
I was happy because I met you.
- Gon. - Yes, my lady.
Protect His Highness.
Make sure he gets away safely, and then return to me.
I will stay with you.
Will you defy me again?
No, my lady.
I shall obey.
- Get them! - Yes, master.
Get them! Go!
Hwa Gun.
Hwa Gun!
Save the poppy field!
Put out the fire! Hurry!
- Yes, master. - Fire!
Fire!
Hwa Gun.
What have you...
My lady.
(The Emperor)
Say that again.
I burned it all.
Do as you wish.
The real one died anyway.
Remember this.
I am the real King now.
We need to make a hit list.
I will take everything from the real Crown Prince.
I will not hesitate anymore.
I plan to reclaim my throne.
