Do you think... you can destroy me with this?
I do not.
But I will be more thoroughly prepared in the future!
Why are you just standing there?
Arrest him immediately!
[Episode 41]
Tell the truth.
When did you join forces with Nameless?
I don't know anything about that.
Very late last night...
you had a meeting with Prince Jeongan and that wench Cho Young.
Is that a coincidence?
Are you unable to speak?
Don't just stand there. Carry on!
Yes, sir!
To show up with Father at that hour, at that place
means that everything had already been planned out.
There is no evidence to provide, but...
Sambong will not let go of this secret!
What will you do, Yi Bang Won?
Do you mean that Prince Jeongan conspired with Nameless?
It is true that he had a meeting with Cho Young
who is known to be a member of Nameless.
Why would Prince Jeongan be with such people...
Do you have any evidence?
What evidence would we need?
His behavior as a prince of this country... is proof enough.
His Majesty is trying to break Prince Jeongan's spirit.
He's trying to clear away any threats to the Crown Prince.
If it is true, then can we not help at all?
His Majesty also plans to work on your concerns, Minister of the Left.
Don't worry too much.
What are you referring to?
In regards to the Wang family.
Minister of the Left has always been worried.
His Majesty has delayed working on the matter
with the public sentiment in mind.
Our political situation is tumultuous in many aspects.
All of them are important matters that cannot be buried away
so we will have to take care of them as fast as we can.
We will have to take care of the matter of Prince Jeongan first.
[Crown Prince's father-in-law] It is not an easy matter.
Lee Shin Jeok moved to his side very quickly.
Since when did he follow Prince Jeongan?
Isn't this truly disgraceful?
It's not an issue if I die here.
A one in a million chance, if Prince Jeongan changes his mind...
Biguk Temple will be destroyed right away.
I have to let them know.
I have to let our group know somehow.
Yes, sir. I will deliver the message.
A commissioner of the State Tribunal just yesterday...
and now you are in a very difficult situation.
But you still have soldiers that will follow you.
Shut your mouth!
You ruined everything! What is this false charge on me!
Yes. I was also trapped by the one I took in and trained...
That's right!
That wench Yeon Hee is the problem!
That wench stayed close to Lord Sambong and came up with this absurd plan!
To be pushed aside by such a lowly creature...
I know better than anyone that you have nothing to do with Nameless.
But... in this situation...
who would believe my words?
Since I was caught with Prince Jeongan in the middle of the night
Lord Sambong will try to end my life now.
Would you like me to help you?
How would you help me?
It's simple.
I only need to send a short letter outside.
Lord Hojung!
I came to discuss the matter with Prince Jeongan.
It is Prince Jeongan's matter now
but it may turn into a matter of yours some day.
What do you mean by that?
Sambong is trying to break the spirit of the royal relatives
with many private soldiers.
Then do you have a solution?
Meet with General Lee Ji Ran right away.
Together with General Lee Ji Ran, request of His Majesty
that the matter of Prince Jeongan be discussed in the government.
How should we ask him?
"If Prince Jeongan conspired with Nameless"
"it must be investigated."
"It has to be determined by the government after an investigation."
That's what you should say.
What if it is proven to be true?
No...
For His Majesty, investigation and interrogations for this matter
must be very burdensome now.
- Uncle! - Goodness! Manage your temper!
There is no evidence that they did not conspire.
Evidence?
There is no evidence that they were conspiring either!
If people are so suspicious of Bang Won, shouldn't we at least cross examine him?
He's right!
Just because he is a prince, proper procedure should not be skipped!
Interrogate me in front of Cho Young.
Do you really mean to go to the State Tribunal?
I must prove my innocence!
Just the fact that Cho Young ran to your house after receiving your letter...
shows that your behavior as a prince of this country is a problem.
But you will ignore my position in front of all the retainers...
and go through with her interrogation?
Why? How is that so?
For the wishes of Lord Sambong and Your Majesty...
I cannot just follow quietly.
Do you mean to become the Crown Prince?
I have already decided on the Crown Prince.
If you aim to become the Crown Prince
you will have to strike down your younger brother, Sambong, and even me.
Can you do that?
Father...
How could you--
That's why it is called impossible greed.
While I still have some love left for you...
stop that greed.
Greed, you say?
Why is only my dream that is called greedy?
Wasn't it... your dream to become King, Father?
Prince Uian...
He may have never had that ambition...
but he became the Crown Prince.
But I... have been dreaming such a dream.
So why is only my dream called greed?
I... cannot be destroyed like this.
If you are so certain that I am a part of Nameless
you will have to prove it.
What if His Highness really joined forces with Nameless?
It's not as simple as that. It is a power struggle.
This is more intense and bloody than a sword fight.
All of Boon Yi's group members decided to leave.
Was the place called Banchon?
Anyway, they will be able to make a living without doing this work.
Boon Yi made the right decision.
Gap Boon, you should just go with them.
To be honest, you're practically a member of that group.
Could I do that?
I am also going to find a pub in Banchon.
What else can we do with our weak butts? Let's put ours there and join them now.
Let's join them quietly.
Whatever happens to His Highness, it has nothing to do with you anymore.
How can it not?
You decided to leave for Banchon.
You made the right decision. I'm sure you will do well.
And your people will also do well.
Yeon Hee, but Prince Jeongan--
It is unfortunate, but Prince Jeongan brought this upon himself with his greed.
His greed?
Why is it that only His Highness's greed is bad?
It is not bad when it stays as greed.
Even for a thief, his greed is to wish to be full and to have good things.
That's all there is, just like everyone else.
How can it be the same? It's...
So what will happen to Prince Jeongan now?
Yes, what will happen to him?
It will be difficult for him to make a political comeback.
Lord Sambong will make sure of it.
You should stay out of this matter, as you had said.
It doesn't seem that it will change anyway.
And it doesn't look like we can be helpful, either.
It must be... Of course.
You said your decision was firm.
Yes, it was firm.
You are disappointed, aren't you?
Rather than being disappointed...
I don't like this situation. I can't stand it.
But I know one thing...
that it is time to make a decision.
Which decision... will you make?
I will go with His Highness.
You should trust your own decision, and go with it.
I am not disappointed at all.
I believe... His Highness feels the same way.
What would you like me to do?
Ask the soldier who follows you
and allow me to notify my group of the situation.
Why are you hesitating?
Just for a short while in a difficult situation
we will be allies and leave together.
Please have some water.
Can you... offer your life for me?
Of course, sir!
Thank you.
You have to deliver a letter.
For now, we should be satisfied that we found Prince Jeongan to be involved.
Why are you smiling?
- Lord Shim... - Yes, sir.
To be honest, my plan has not yet even begun.
Actually, it might have started by now.
What do you mean by that?
Sir, he is here.
I will never happen collaborate with Nameless.
Yes, of course not.
I did what you ordered me to do, sir.
Aren't you a soldier from the State Tribunal?
It seems that Commissioner Lee Shin Jeok was successful.
You may need to sacrifice your body for this plan.
I am prepared.
In order to get to the root of Nameless
this seems to be the only way.
It is not just Nameless.
You will have to be Prince Jeongan's man now.
Let us begin.
He went too far!
Why do you act this way? Please calm down.
Lord Sambong is doing it wrong!
Prince Jeongan must be very upset now
since he was not recognized as a contributor.
Approach him.
This treatment is completely unfair.
Is that really how you feel?
Lord Sambong, you must reveal the true identity of Nameless this time.
What? Lee Shin Jeok was our desperate measure?
Even when we've arrested people from Nameless
we have not been able to locate the ones above them.
And the next step of Prince Jeongan was another reason.
Next step? Prince Jeongan will be pushed out soon anyway.
But he is a prince.
Moreover, he is smart.
So there is a high possibility that he can make a comeback.
This will serve as a chance for Commissioner Lee Shin Jeok
to work for Prince Jeongan.
We need to start the next step now.
Yeon Hee, as soon as the material from Hwasadan is organized--
- It is organized. - It is?
Then... we will be able to make use of it soon.
Yes. We will be prepared.
With this incident, we may be able to capture the Wang family and Nameless
the only ones with the power to restore Goryeo
and even Prince Jeongan.
That's what we have to do.
Take Bang Ji with you and start the plan to arrest Nameless!
Yes, sir.
Turn around slowly.
You are with Hwasadan.
Why are you chasing him?
Why is Hwasadan...
White clay?
You must have soldiers following you.
Moogook!
This place seems to have been exposed. We have to leave quickly.
This is the fourth marker.
- Let's go! - Yes, sir!
How could this place be exposed? Just how?
Our contact line seems to be broken.
Then...
Cho Young must have been arrested.
Or she betrayed us, or fell for a trap.
First, order everyone in the organization to travel in disguise for three months.
Yes, I will.
But what about the work on Ming that Cho Young was going to do?
I will lead it myself.
Teacher Yooksan, check on Hwado Group in Jeju Island after three months
- then head north. - Yes, I will.
Let us go.
It seems that Lee Bang Ji has also come.
There are no more markers.
It's that way.
Goodness... she was caught.
We will split ourselves up and spread out.
Arrest anyone who looks suspicious, and kill anyone who resists.
- Do you understand? - Yes, sir!
Mother.
Yes.
I've wanted so much to see you...
I looked for you for such a long time...
but I got to see you here.
Ddang Sae...
Did you...
Did you really abandon us?
That's what you told Boon Yi...
That you didn't look for us, or even want to look for us.
To our pitiful Boon Yi...
"This is who I am."
"So just forget about me, and don't look for me."
You didn't even give a warm embrace...
Without a word of apology...
That's what you said to her.
Please answer me.
Answer me!
That's true.
All of it...
All of it was because of you, Mother!
We came to know Sambong while we were looking for you.
I learned to use the sword while we were looking for you.
But you didn't look for us?
It wasn't that you just left...
but you abandoned us?
I did.
Then why did you show up in front of me?
If there was anything I felt bad for...
this is the only way I can pay you back now.
Leave Jung Do Jeon!
That's what I came here to say to you.
In order to protect your life, leave Jung Do Jeon.
He has a great ideology.
Also, it is rarely seen in history...
but the one with great ideology has strong power, too!
There is no precedent.
But... such a country is impossible, Ddang Sae.
Just like Boon Yi, you must also believe that such a country is a good one--
No, I am different from Boon Yi.
I don't believe it, and I don't dream of it.
Our Boon Yi that you abandoned...
The dream that Boon Yi has...
Protecting that is everything for me.
I will absolutely protect it.
That's why...
you mean to stand against me after all.
I guess it will be that way.
Ddang Sae...
the real identity of your mother
who used to be Gan Nan of Yiseo County...
is the head of Nameless referred to as Moogook.
Boon Yi's dream...
The country that Boon Yi believes in!
If you want to protect them...
kill me now.
The world never lets you protect everything.
That's why you have to make a choice.
If you cannot make the choice of leaving Sambong
you have to kill me, Ddang Sae.
I will offer my life to you.
Once you make up your mind to slay me, paste up a notice asking for me.
You used to be naive and innocent...
The sin of planting hell in your heart... that is the only sin I can acknowledge.
And deliver this message to Sambong.
That Nameless won't disappear even if he captures everyone.
We are the minds of the people.
A few of the underlings committed suicide right before they were arrested.
Then the core members snuck out again?
I am sorry.
But since they lost two important bases, their activities will weaken.
Did Cho Young make a confession?
Her confession is not important.
We have a record that will prove the charge.
The attempted murder on His Majesty in 1398...
it is true that you purchased the items necessary for the plan, isn't it?
Check for me.
Yes, it is Cho Young's handwriting.
Is it also true that you traded with the merchant group
owned by the dethroned Wang Yo before he took the throne?
The record of trades with Myungwoon Merchant Group
details the trades with dethroned Wang Yo.
What are you planning?
I am verifying that Nameless planned to re-establish dethroned Wang Yo.
Since that is your intention
I'm sure that will soon be proven true.
I will speak to her for a moment before I leave.
As you like.
We have Cho Young's confession.
It is true that Nameless was involved in the assassination plan of His Majesty.
It is also true that Nameless has continuously traded with Wang Yo.
Good!
Let us report this to His Majesty
and get permission to have Wang Yo and the Wang family killed.
What could we do about this?
They claim that Nameless was involved in Your Majesty's climb to the throne.
So they seem to agree in the government that you need to be executed.
Sire, if you want to escape, I will help you.
Sire, what are you thinking about?
Please go inside.
You need to speak to me?
A long time ago...
you saved me.
Yes.
You were almost starved to death on the street
after wandering exhausted and aimless.
Your skin and bones were stuck together...
and your legs were about to explode from swelling.
But I raised you, washed you, clothed you, and fed you.
Yes, you did that for me.
Then why did you betray me?
I wanted to live.
I sold my smiles to so many men
and pretended to fall for them so I could extract information from them.
I also had to kill people...
There were times where I felt like I hadn't actually survived at all...
The one who saved me from there...
was Lord Sambong.
Have you not considered that you were being used?
Even if I am being used...
it is also my dream now
so it does not matter.
That dream...
will never be realized.
"The end of life is always death, regardless."
That's what you said.
Yes, even if it is never realized
I can dream while I am alive.
How wonderful is that?
Leave.
Don't ever share your heart with your enemy like this again.
I have been truly thankful for a long time.
Be well...
I bid you farewell.
Take it away!
Until I am interrogated with Cho Young...
I will not have even a sip of water.
Father, please interrogate Prince Jeongan with Cho Young as he wishes
and have a thorough investigation done!
He is right!
Father, Bang Won...
I mean, even if Prince Jeongan is to be driven out
he should go without any feelings of injustice.
I share the same thoughts.
He is a prince of this country.
Whether he is to be sent to exile or another punishment
if the matter is determined so suddenly...
Fine. Let them be questioned.
But there will be no interrogation by me.
They will only be questioned together.
It was very moving, that wench Yeon Hee...
as a traitor.
In this turbulent time, it is a bigger sin to trust someone.
How can betrayal be a sin?
True...
Both you and Yeon Hee...
Since you are not Sadaebu, or men...
you won't be bothered by damaged honor, whether it is betrayal or anything else.
Although I am not a woman of the noble class...
I do have my honor as a woman
and I also have my honor as a spy.
Even someone like you feels that way, so imagine how it is for me!
To be falsely charged that I communicated in secret with Nameless...
I cannot possibly stand it. That's why I am cooperating with you temporarily.
Yes, I am aware.
The message will soon...
What is wrong?
How did it go?
I placed it where you instructed.
You did?
- Untie me for a moment. - Yes, sir.
By the way, Prince Jeongan and that wench will be questioned together.
They are on their way now.
They are?
When did you place the letter?
I placed it right after I left here earlier.
It was missing when I opened it a bit later.
Lee Shin Jeok!
For someone who values honor so dearly...
For someone who is terribly afraid
to be charged with secretly working with Nameless...
why would you try to escape with me?
If you escape with me
you will be confirmed as Nameless. So why?
- What on earth are you saying? - Also...
if my group took the letter...
they would leave the tile open, and never use it again.
But you opened it again?
Lee Shin Jeok...
You're Sambong's desperate measure.
Sir, Prince Jeongan will be coming here!
Did you use the enemy's spy to strike the enemy?
Go out there and delay the visit.
- Now. - Yes, sir.
Please...
Please wait for a moment.
Why is it taking so long?
- What happened? - I am sorry.
Cho Young found out who I was.
Prince Jeongan is headed this way.
If this is discovered, our next plan will be ruined.
So I had no choice...
Damn it!
What should we do? Prince Jeongan is waiting now.
- Move her to a jail cell. - Pardon?
Cho Young took her own life in the jail cell.
Do you understand?
Cho Young took her own life by hanging herself in her jail cell.
Do you expect me to believe that?
Should we show it to you?
Would you believe it then?
How did you kill Cho Young?
We did not do that.
Will you kill me too?
That's what you plan to do in the end.
Your Highness...
after Poeun died...
I erased all of the hesitation in my heart.
To be generous, be patient, and to try to convince others...
I realized that sometimes these urges can cause everyone's pain and misfortune.
What a relief.
Although it's too late.
Yes, I truly blame myself.
So I plan on not making the same mistake with Your Highness.
Five years. Please stay in Geoje for five years.
I'd like you to be assigned a post in Geoje.
Then I will stabilize many aspects of this country
and will have strengthened the foundation in five years.
Five years...
That's how long it will take before Bang Seok is an adult.
Yes. Please come back then.
And if I say I can't go?
You will have to go.
If I had done this to Poeun sooner, I could have saved him.
Your Highness wouldn't have had to do such a horrible thing either.
That's why I have to save you, even if it takes this.
Yes, try it if you can.
Lord Jung Do Jeon has arrived.
Is it true that Cho Young took her own life?
Forgive me, sire.
Then questioning them together has become impossible!
Then Prince Jeongan won't acknowledge his fault.
Therefore, instead of being sent into exile...
I wonder if he may be assigned a post in another city.
Yes, let us stay apart for only five years.
Just five years.
Sire!
I've made my decision.
Let's send Bang Won to Geoje Island.
Sire, it's not about that...
An official letter from Ming has arrived.
And?
Recently, they captured the Japanese pirates
who attacked the border of Ming.
The pirates confessed that they were ordered
by the Joseon government to spy on Ming.
What?
So they demand that one of the princes go to Ming and explain this situation!
What they want is a hostage!
Also, to spy on them is an absurd accusation!
Moreover, recent acts of the Emperor of Ming are beyond atrocious!
He slaughtered 20,000 of his retainers!
It is a country of death.
How could we possibly send our princes to such a dangerous place?
But if we don't send anyone...
they will accuse us of something bigger.
Sire, I will take the role of being the evil one in everything.
Please don't worry.
Since you are bright
I am sure you know what I am about to say.
Please choose one of the two.
There is no other way.
One... must be to stay in Geoje for five years.
And the other one...
by any chance, me?
Yes, that is it.
To go as an envoy to Ming?
That's right.
You may die by the fury of the Emperor of Ming.
You may also be sent into exile in Ming.
What about Father?
Did he really allow this?
Because he knows that you are the only one
who could go to Ming and convince the Emperor.
He acknowledges me for matters like this.
That's not true. Since he truly acknowledges your strength
you have become a threat, sire.
To His Majesty, and the Crown Prince as well.
Thank you.
I had no idea both of you acknowledged me like this.
I will go.
Five years in a place like Geoje?
I can't do it.
That is what I thought.
I'd rather go to Ming as an envoy...
and become a retainer who dies while working for his country...
Or else!
I will convince the Emperor of Ming
and return home in glory within a year.
Father.
Come home... in glory.
Sire...
You...
You must move into Banchon.
As you said...
you should never get involved with Sambong or me, in any case.
Why, all of a sudden?
It will be fine as long as you don't get involved.
Why do you say so?
As long as you don't get involved...
If that could happen...
You will feel free to live with the heart of an animal?
Yes, I will feel free.
Please don't do that.
Then how could I feel free to leave for Banchon?
Anyway...
you have to leave.
An animal or not...
no matter what happens to me...
even if I end up dead...
Even then...
I'd like to think that Boon Yi must be smiling somewhere.
When... I was your friend back then...
the reason I liked Your Highness...
Do you remember?
Because you didn't think I would die.
In the middle of this painful world
I breathe and live even though it's difficult
I try to endure the day
Even if destiny block me and abandons me
I have to protect you
[Liaodong Castle]
What brought you here?
We are envoys from Joseon.
We received an invitation from His Majesty, and are on our way to him.
Arrest everyone!
No.
What on earth happened here?
It means it has begun.
What has?
That's how the envoys to the mainland are.
It's not even for a happy occasion.
So we don't know what will happen to us now.
I had a bad feeling about this from the start.
My legs...
All of you are in big trouble!
What is he saying?
He says we're in trouble.
We found that your country decided to accept all of the Jurchens.
He says he knows that we are getting the Jurchens involved.
You're all the same! Uncivilized barbarians!
He says we're all the same. Uncivilized barbarians...
What?
Interpret what I am going to say now.
Yes.
Listen carefully.
Please listen carefully.
Do you have a death wish?
Interpret my words.
Do you want to die?
Who are you?
He asks who you are.
I am Yi Bang Won.
And who are you?
I am Yi Bang Won. Who are you?
I... I am.. Zhu Di!
Zhu Di...
Who does this bastard say he is?
[Zhu Di: The 3rd Emperor of Ming, later Yongle Emperor]

[Six Flying Dragons]
Go back home. I've never let any of your envoys through.
The result of it may be war. Is that what you want?
Don't you know that you could leave here dead because of what you said?
It is tonight. Is everyone ready?
Everyone will gather in Jungryunam tonight.
Have you not heard from His Highness who went to Ming?
I have not heard yet.
You are alive. Right, Bang Won?
Please let us get through Liaodong!
You are arrogant and stupid!
You will live or die today.
Then please let us die fighting!
