I am sure the royal troops went to Jiksan.
I do not see anyone in Anseong Castle.
What are we waiting for?
Let us seize Anseong and head to the capital.
Charge toward Anseong!
- Charge! - Charge!
But...
why is it so quiet?
Should they not be here by now?
- Master, are they... - No.
They will come.
I know they will come this way.
That is the post horse our advanced unit rode.
Is it because of that horse?
- We will continue. Move! - Wait.
General.
This is my command.
(Lee Yin Jwa, Namin)
We should wait.
(Lee Yin Jwa, Namin)
It is an ambush!
Do not run. Fight!
- I said, fight! - Stay organized and charge!
Lee Yin Jwa, leader of the rebels.
Park Moon Soo.
That jerk...
You are...
all dead today.
Everyone.
Charge!
This is an unexpected battle.
- Your Majesty, you should escape... - Let go.
We'll all die if we lose here anyway.
Do you understand?
All of us might die.
Wi Byeong Joo!
- Wi Byeong Joo! - Park Moon Soo.
Our tenacious relationship will end here.
Dal Moon.
The enemy is losing their will to fight.
Push forward!
General Lee, we are at a disadvantage for now.
We will retreat now and reorganize our ranks.
We cannot retreat. Fight. Keep fighting.
I have to go and cut off Lee Geum's head!
Retreat!
- Everyone, retreat! - Don't let any of them escape!
Get them!
- Retreat! - Retreat!
General Lee.
This cannot be.
They knew how we would escape?
Is this the end?
The throne was so close.
They are the rebels.
Capture the head, Lee Yin Jwa, and Prince Milpoong alive.
You may kill anyone who resists.
Attack!
General Lee, our escape route...
Let us scatter.
We'll meet at our rallying point.
Scatter!
Scatter, everyone!
Pull yourself together!
We must hurry.
I am the King.
The people called me Your Majesty.
Go after Lee Yin Jwa and Prince Milpoong.
- Capture them alive. - Yes, sir.
Master Moon Soo.
- Master Moon Soo. - Master Moon Soo.
Master.
We won!
- We won! - We won!
(Episode 22: Triumph)
Your Majesty,
a report has arrived from the battlefield.
(Report: a report to the king)
We were victorious.
Our forces crushed the rebels at the battle of Anseong.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
- Congratulations, Your Majesty. - Congratulations, Your Majesty.
This is all thanks to you.
- Thanks to you, Your Majesty. - Thanks to you, Your Majesty.
That is not true.
It is thanks to everyone's effort.
We could overcome this crisis because we became one.
- Inscrutable are the King's favors. - Inscrutable are the King's favors.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
Chairman of Congress.
You accomplished a great deed, Your Majesty.
(Min Jin Heon, Chairman of Congress, Patriarchs)
- Chairman of Congress. - Let us gather the Namins.
You said that was the only way...
to get through this crisis and prevent further crises.
You were right.
Is that true, Your Majesty?
Is it really guaranteed that the Namins...
will be appointed to government positions?
You must know who I am.
What if the Patriarchs promise to cooperate?
Appointing people justly regardless of their political backgrounds.
I will promise to do so once again.
What do you think? Can you support the government?
My apologies, Your Majesty.
But I have something to tell you.
It is possible that...
there be a spy of the rebels among our forces.
What? Who is that?
How are the current defenses in the capital city?
Soldiers from Five Military Bases were stationed at the main gates.
According to the last report from the border area defense officer,
our forces will set up a final defense line in Jiksan.
(Jiksan: The former name of Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do)
Wait. Did you say Jiksan?
What is it, Your Majesty?
Immediately send a messenger to the border area defense officer.
As soon as possible.
What? If there are spies among us,
doesn't that mean our intelligence can be exposed?
How about this, my Lord?
Let's make them lower their guards...
and lure them out.
Yes, it's Jiksan.
They will surely use the road from Cheonan to Jiksan.
That is the easiest way to enter the capital.
Jiksan...
Jiksan?
We will wait in ambush here for the enemy.
They will surely...
go through Anseong.
We will ambush here.
What? Border area defense officer told us to go to Jiksan.
- Why... - What?
Are you scared...
that your allies will come through Anseong?
What?
You will be judged by marshal law when this is over.
- Take him away. - Yes, sir.
Let go!
It is not me.
Not me.
Hey, let go!
I know that they will come this way.
Thank you.
All of this...
is thanks to your decision.
It is because the kingdom of Joseon...
has received your favor.
Border area defense officer.
It is a great victory.
The rebels are almost destroyed.
What happened to their leaders Lee Yin Jwa and Prince Milpoong?
They ran away.
But they probably have not gone very far.
Would not this guy know?
Where Lee Yin Jwa and Prince Milpoong are.
Lee Yin Jwa and Prince Milpoong ran away?
They got Wi Byeong Joo so we can find out where they will meet.
How about Gyeongsang and Jeolla Provinces?
(The Gyeongsang Province area)
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E43 'Haechi' "Triumph" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Do not retreat.
We must take back the castle.
Do not retreat.
Destroy the royal troops!
We have too many injured soldiers.
I think you should order retreat.
We held out for three days and came this far.
We cannot...
We cannot retreat like this.
But we lost too many soldiers.
We should stop here!
Look over there.
Soldiers are coming.
Soldiers are coming, General.
General Lee Yin Jwa finally sent us backup.
General.
Whose soldiers are they?
National Security Councilor,
they are royal troops.
They are reinforcement.
They are reinforcement for the royal troops.
What should we do?
It cannot be.
What happened?
What about Lee Yin Jwa? What about the capital?
Why are not our soldiers arriving yet?
I am a bit late.
It was rush hour.
You are so slow.
You finally came.
The bases of the rebels were all seized.
What is remaining...
are the soldiers in that castle.
Did you hear that?
Let us go!
Let us destroy the remaining rebels!
Charge!
- Charge! - Charge!
The castle gates are open.
- Let us go. - Yes.
Let us survive.
What is the matter?
As if he is going to die.
We won!
The rebels in Jeolla Province all surrendered.
They realized their bases were falling and lost morale.
Send a messenger to the palace and let them know this.
How about Gyeongsang Province? How are things there?
Tell this happy news to the King.
We have regained Gyeongsang Province.
Jang Dal.
You said we will survive.
I am right here.
Ah Bong.
I am here.
Jang Dal! Jang Dal!
You were alive.
We promised to meet again.
I told you.
I told you they will meet again.
I told you.
Why are you crying?
We won.
We won!
We won.
We won!
- We won! - We won!
You were pretty good with the gun.
You were pretty good with the bow and arrow.
Gosh.
Well done.
They destroyed all of them right in front of the capital.
The King rallied the Namins at the last moment...
and got information.
- I thought I was going to die. - Me too.
Those frivolous girls.
They were scared to death just moments ago.
But I do not see Court Lady Cheon.
I sent her to someone who needs her.
Pardon?
Why are you not tying the shoulder protection?
Oh, yes. That is because...
Your Majesty, Court Lady Cheon is waiting outside.
Let her in, please.
Ja Dong, what are you doing?
Why is Yeo Ji...
Court Lady Cheon will finish it off.
Your depressing subject will be dismissed.
I will leave too since I have completed my task.
- Ja Dong. - Court Lady Heo.
They are doing something not necessary.
You must be busy with things at the Queen Palace.
Is this how you tie the shoulder protection?
How do you know all this?
I learned about all your outfits before coming to the palace.
So I can serve you anytime.
Next is the arm guards, right?
(Arm guards: protective guards for the arms)
I will do my job until the very end.
Since I mastered everything, I won't give up in the middle of something.
What?
That is what you did when you were outside the palace.
You helped me tie a hat and stopped in the middle.
You stopped in the middle of putting medicine on me.
Did you not know how?
No, Yeo Ji.
- It was not because I did not know. - Turn around.
I need to tie your side guard.
(Side guard: guards for the sides)
Oh. Okay.
I am not done, Your Majesty.
Inspector Park.
Master.
You are back safely.
I heard all about your accomplishments.
Was everything okay in the city while I was gone?
Of course.
You did a great job.
- Let us go. - Okay.
Hey! Ah Bong! Jang Dal!
What? It is Inspector Joo.
My gosh, you were alive!
Hate is a type of love.
Seeing both of you alive makes me tear up.
What is the matter with you? Stop acting friendly.
No, it is out of affection.
Actually, I must have liked you guys.
His Majesty arrives!
- Your Majesty! - Your Majesty!
I report to you, Your Majesty.
I, Lee Gwang Jwa, the border area defense officer, and your army...
have defeated the rebels and we are here to let you know...
that we have won the battle, Your Majesty.
- We won! - We won!
Thank you for coming back safely.
You commanded us to come back alive no matter what.
Your Majesty.
Let the army...
and people of this country hear.
You risked your lives...
to protect the royal court and our country.
The fear was great.
The pain was severe.
I will not...
forget the blood and sweat...
you shed.
I will not forget...
the poor men...
who died on the battlefield.
Our victory against the rebels today...
will be Joseon's victory.
Have faith in me.
From now on,
I will build...
a new Joseon...
together with...
my government officials...
and my people.
- Victory! - Yes!
- We did it! - Yes!
(Episode 44 will air shortly.)
How could Gyeongsang and Jeolla Provinces...
give way that easily?
It's the same in Hamgyong.
It seems like they will surrender soon.
- What's our situation? - Without the injured,
we only have hundreds.
- What? - General.
This is a meaningless fight.
What are you saying?
It's not done yet.
We still have our forces from different areas...
and the families of the rebels.
Send out the messages.
Families of the rebels...
and the supporters of the revolt...
should gather up.
Yes, General.
What if they're not enough?
We should have another plan.
I could have slashed Lee Geum's neck.
I could have put him below my feet.
We are done!
Lee Yin Jwa's army from Gyeongsang and Jeolla all surrendered.
Those rabbles...
are all we have now.
It's...
all done.
There's...
no other way,
anymore.
No, Yoon Yeong. That's not true.
You've seen them.
Those crowds cheering for me.
My people crying out,
pleading me to become their King.
When others hear this,
they'll rise up. Of course.
Everyone will rise up for me.
What?
Yes.
Yes, I believe in my people.
They will protect their King. They will...
protect the true King.
General Lee Yin Jwa.
How is the situation?
I heard we only have...
a few hundred soldiers.
Is that true?
It's nothing serious.
You don't have to worry.
We still...
have enough troops.
Of course.
I knew it.
You're right.
Your Majesty.
All officials have entered the palace.
Your Majesty.
What do you mean?
You will not punish the rebels...
and their families?
You won't charge them for their crimes?
No, I won't.
We will arrest those who joined by themselves,
but I will not allow guilt by association that will punish...
the family and relatives.
(Guilt by association: being punished by the family's sin)
Also, I'll open the prison,
so the offenders will not be killed.
I also ban to track down...
on the people who got along with the rebels.
Your Majesty.
This was the biggest revolt ever.
You should punish them to warn the others.
Over-punishment is not always the right answer, Chairman.
And I also believe,
my decision will be effective to sweep...
the remnants of the rebels.
Is this true?
They won't punish our village when we...
just let the rebels pass through?
Is that true? Some even fed the rebels...
and worked for them.
- They won't be punished? - No, you won't.
You better thank the King's generous heart. He saved you.
The relatives...
of the rebels will not be questioned...
with guilt by association.
It will be strictly prohibited to punish them...
just because they were in touch with the rebels.
Through this, reform will be focused...
to help them concentrate...
on education and living.
- Thank goodness! - Oh my!
It looks like...
you were surprised by His Majesty again.
By forgiving the remnants of the rebels,
it will prevent them from joining back.
You're right.
It really was politically excellent.
Well, do you think...
that was only the political mean?
Promoting Namin,
and forgiving the rebels.
Sometimes, some decisions...
come from the heart, not from the head.
So,
it surprises those who make decisions with the head only.
Those making decisions with the head instead of the heart.
Are you talking about me?
Oh.
I was too straightforward.
How is the situation?
You've made the right decision.
People from the revolting areas...
are quickly calmed down.
But,
- it's not done yet. - You're right.
Lee Yin Jwa and Prince Milpoong are still on the run, Your Majesty.
We should arrest them.
As long as they're alive,
revolt will rise up again.
Where's Lee Yin Jwa, Prince Milpoong,
and the rest?
You must know the place.
You think I'll tell you that?
Oh.
If I tell you,
will you spare my life?
If you will,
I will consider it.
- Wi Byeong Joo. - You...
you are close with His Majesty.
Tell him.
If he spares my life,
I'll tell you where those two are.
Once, I felt sorry for you.
That's how...
Uigeumbu thought.
You think you're different?
If you were in my shoes,
if they acknowledged me,
I wouldn't have come this far.
I could have done like you.
Just...
have pity on me and save me.
Just spare my life,
then I'll tell you where they are.
But, no.
You don't deserve...
sympathy or understanding.
At least the one who regrets.
One who looks back...
on his fault, instead of blaming others.
Until the last moment,
you're trying to save your own.
- Hey, Inspector Park. - Beheading?
You wish.
National law says a traitor like you...
should be torn to pieces.
What?
Park Moon Soo...
Park Moon Soo.
Park Moon Soo!
Inspector Park!
No! No! Inspector Kim.
You know me. It's me, Wi Byeong Joo.
It's Wi Byeong Joo! No!
No! No! Stop!
Let go of me!
There they are, General.
Welcome. You've come a long way.
General.
Why are there only a few of you? Where are the others?
- Is this all? - It's the King.
With his conciliation, no nobles...
or people would join us.
Yoon Yeong.
Where did she go?
Your Majesty.
You...
Why are you here?
I thought...
I'd die in your hands.
- Bok Dan. - Isn’t' that right?
This is the least I can do...
for you. Isn't it?
You're telling me to go out to gather the people?
Yes.
If you do it yourself,
they will rise up.
But,
soldiers must be all over the place.
- Isn't that dangerous? - Don't you remember?
Those people who were crying out, supporting you.
They're in silence,
because they're scared of the soldiers.
If you show yourself,
they'll follow.
You're the only one we can rely on.
You should be the one...
to lead the people.
They...
are relying on me?
Dal Moon? Now?
Yes. He needs to talk to you.
What...
did you just say? Who's here?
It's Cheon Yoon Yeong, the mistress of Prince Milpoong.
She's here...
with me.
But why?
You could have called the police bureau or Uigeumbu.
Why did you call me?
Yoon Yeong has an information on Lee Yin Jwa and Prince Milpoong.
She told me.
With your order,
I will surrender her to the bureau.
She committed an unforgivable sin.
But, Your Majesty.
Please...
could you please spare her life?
Dal Moon.
I know I shouldn't ask you...
or even say this.
I know what she did.
How cruel she was.
Yes,
I know that more than anyone.
But I...
can't...
watch her die.
Although I know what she did...
and what kind of person she is.
Even when I know that all,
I...
I can't let her die.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E44 'Haechi' "The Final Victory" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Your Majesty.
Yeo Ji.
I just stopped by.
The lights were still on.
What's wrong?
Why are you still dressed up?
That's right.
This is how...
Dal Moon feels.
Whatever happens,
I would...
like to save one person,
for sure.
Just like how...
I feel for you.
Your Majesty.
You'll be able to get a small place.
Wherever you go, you'll need a place to live.
I don't need this.
I never begged you for my life.
You receiving this is a gift to me.
With this,
I'll be able to forget about you.
Go.
He'll take you to the port.
You could have...
held on to me.
If you'll save me,
you...
could have forgiven me.
Yoon Yeong disclosed the rebels' place?
They're hiding here.
Arrest Lee Yin Jwa and Prince Milpoong.
I will capture them alive.
- How about the bureau? - They'll hear the rumor,
when Prince Milpoong gets to the place.
Okay. We'll sneak out that time.
When all the soldiers are after Prince Milpoong,
we'll sneak out.
- Yes, General. - Yes, General.
Hurry up. I should...
gather the people as soon as I can.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Since we're out of the capital, we can relax now.
Wait here. I'll check if there's a boat.
What happened? Why is Prince Milpoong here?
Is this the place...
where the nobles will gather up?
Yes. If we wait here,
Namins on our side will join us.
Then you can join them.
I'll go around to check on the situation.
To see if there's anything dangerous.
Okay.
- Take care. - Yes, Your Majesty.
What? The soldiers?
So we'll have to use the station instead of the port.
It seems like...
there's a rumor that Prince Milpoong is around the place.
The soldiers are all over the port.
Prince Milpoong?
Why would only Prince Milpoong...
No way.
Lee Yin Jwa used...
Prince Milpoong as a bait?
Everyone, hurry! We should move!
What time is it?
Where are they?
They're not here yet.
No, run away.
You're just a bait.
They're trying to run...
by putting you in a danger.
Let's go.
The horse is ready.
- It's all done, Yoon Yeong. - No!
It's not done yet.
Who says it's the end?
Prince Yeoning.
It's all...
because of him.
He ruined me.
You won't be ruined.
You can take back...
the throne.
It was hard to convince her.
Can you do this?
When I sit on the throne,
you should be by my side.
As...
this nation's queen.
Just like you said,
I endured not to kill them.
I've done enough by not killing them!
King material?
To prove that I am king material!
You fool.
You stupid...
poor...
clown.
I think...
something is wrong.
I think...
You should check again.
Why is no one coming?
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Prince Milpoong!
Yoon Yeong.
We have to be cautious.
Check the perimeter.
Yes, General.
Lee Yin Jwa!
You are...
General.
Throw away your weapons. If you surrender,
you'll be spared.
Don't listen to him!
It's a lie!
When we throw away the sword,
only death awaits us.
Grab your sword! I said grab your sword! Hurry!
What are you doing?
Grab your sword.
Grab it! Hurry!
Grab the sword.
Grab it! Hurry!
You're done.
And also...
this insane situation.
The King has arrived.
- Your Majesty. - Your Majesty.
I see you at last.
Leader of the revolt,
Lee Yin Jwa.
(Haechi)
