Bossam - Steal the Fate
Do you love the throne that much?
Is that position the only thing you value, so that's the only thing you can see?
Will you retain that position even if you have to sell your daughter?
Hwa In ...
has been killed by Your Majesty.
Your Majesty is no longer a husband nor a father.
What's going on here? [Final episode]
It is a gesture of allegiance from me toward Your Highness.
Isn't this the princess you've always wanted?
Now you are free to embrace her as you like.
Won't you shut this dirty mouth of yours!
I'd rather die than being played by your dirty trick.
You've become quite ill-mannered in your speech, after spending so long with those lowly people.
They are not the lowly ones.
What is lowly is your dirty greed and your nature devoid of morals.
If you run this mouth of yours one more time,
I will ask the King to hand over her Highness the Royal Consort as well.
Would you like that?
How can you do this and call yourself a nobleman?
Take her away.
Let me escort you out.
Did you take away the princess in order to threaten His Majesty the King?
Your Highness was not listening to me,
thus leaving me with no other choice.
Your Highness is mistaken,
if you think you have stopped the rebellion just by getting rid of the weapon depot.
Becoming the king of Joseon is your destiny
and you cannot avoid it, so do not reject it, Your Highness.
Keep a good eye on her, so that she cannot try anything.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
The young master will certainly save you, so keep faith in him and be patient.
I am here to convey the young master's words.
Tell me again what you have said.
I request Your Highness's help in driving away the current king, Yi I Cheom and the greater Northern faction.
Do not tell me you are preparing a rebellion?
We are.
Your Highness, if anything goes wrong and Gwanghae and Yi I Cheom learn about it—
I will ensure no harm befalls either of you, so please put your faith in me.
What can I do to help you?
It's a letter that authorizes the rebellion, written by the Queen Dowager.
This letter not only will convince the general of capital defense Lord Yi Hong Rip,
it will also provide us with a mean to get the Southern faction involved as well.
I have a condition.
- Tell me. - Please assure me you will protect the lives
of her higness the royal consort Yun, princess Hwa In, and his majesty as well.
I will ask His Excellency Prince Neungyang.
Give me a definite answer.
All right. I will do everything in my power to persuade his excellency prince Neungyang.
Thank you.
- When will the rebellion take place? - On the last day of this month.
No. It is too late.
The left state councillor is designing a revolt for the middle of this month.
Thus we need to plan the rebellion for before the middle of the month.
Are you telling me to leave Joseon?
Yes. I will be following you shortly, thus please depart first.
Come with me. I cannot leave by myself.
There is something I need to do.
- I will follow after you as soon as that is over. - Dae Yeop...
No matter what happens, I will follow after you, stay with you,
and protect you, Mother.
Please, give me an opportunity to redeem myself
for the days I have been unfilial to you, Mother.
Thank you, Mother.
In exchange, you must promise me one thing.
That you will not die, no matter what.
That no matter what happens, you will come back to me alive.
Yes, Mother.
I have lived all my life in deep sorrow from not having followed that person at that time.
I know better than anyone how you are feeling right now. How could I stop you?
I will follow your will, Uncle.
Do you mean it?
I do.
In exchange, bring me and the princess
to pay my respect to the tomb of my father prince Imhae.
All right. I will prepare for the travel to the royal tomb.
Thank you.
Father. I am certain he is planning something. Why did you agree to it?
- I did it so he can try something. - Pardon me?
It is certain that Kim Dae Seok will appear and attempt to save the princess.
Prepare to catch him.
I believe Won Yeop is following behind without any problem?
Do not worry. I have sent people just earlier and verified all is well.
I am sure it was here. Where in the world is my father?
- I could not find them. - What happened?
I have looked everywhere,
but I could not find any trace of his excellency's party.
I think there must have been an accident.
This cannot be...
Don't tell me that Tae Cheol, this rascal...
Stop here!
Your Highness.
What is it?
It seems she needs to relieve herself before we continue.
Did you not leave a pot inside?
I did.
She says it needs to be emptied.
There happens to be a spring here. Let us take the opportunity to rest while replenishing our water.
We will take a short rest. Keep thorough guard around.
Yes!
Your Excellency. Please step down to rest comfortably.
All right.
Catch Yi I Cheom!
Protect His Excellency!
I am all right, so stop them!
Yes!
Do not feel concerned, as I will guard the princess.
Kill him, kill him, kill him!
Hyeong-nim!
Hyeong-nim.
Hyeong-nim! Hyeong-nim.
- Go after them! - Yes!
Tae Cheol, you rascal!
- My husband. - Are you all right?
I am relieved you are uninjured.
Hyeong-nim!
Oh? What is this?
Really, you made sure you'd survive!
It hurt!
I will go with her. You follow His Lordship.
- Let us go. - You go first.
There is something for me to finish.
Finish what? You'll be caught!
Do you have to do it now?
Now is the only time I can do it.
I will come with you.
Don't you have something to do?
My uncle will go straight home and try to confine my mother.
My mother is the priority. I will follow shortly, so leave at once.
This is not the time for this. We need to leave now.
Yes.
I don't know what is the matter, but be careful.
I will.
All right, then let us go.
I see you have decided to leave far away with Aunt.
Yes.
I have always been on the receiving end of your kindness, and never had an opportunity to return the favor.
I can only feel sorry to see you leaving in this manner.
Do not say so.
I made things difficult for you because of my needless lingering feelings.
I can only apologize for it.
I will pray you live a healthy and comfortable life, wherever you are.
Thank you.
I will also hope you stay well in the future, Your Highness.
Run away if you want to live.
What do you mean?
The chaos and crippled state Joseon is in right now,
you cannot deny that all of it is because of you.
So, as long as I'm gone, everything will be in peace?
Yes. That is correct.
Have you decided on forgetting your father's enemy and on swearing loyalty to the king because of a mere girl?
My father's enemy
is you.
Dae Yeop.
Don't say my name.
You don't even have the right to do that.
I will kill you
and avenge my father and satisfy my mother's grudge.
My name,
family, and bloodline,
I will abandon everything you have given me.
So please do the same.
Forget things like treason and live in hiding.
If you don't do that, I will never forgive you.
You brought this upon yourself! Don't blame me for it!
Father.
Even just once,
even just once,
did you ever think of me
as your own child?
Answer me before you go!
Father!
What's wrong?
I think I'll have to go to the young master.
Yes. I also feel strangely worried.
I do too. Please wait here for a while.
No. I will go with you.
Didn't we promise to be together even if we live or die?
Yi Dae Yeop! Yi Dae Yeop!
Young Master!
Yi Dae Yeop!
Young Master!
Yi Dae Yeop!
Why did you come back?
Who did this to you?
Was it your uncle?
To save the princess,
I tried to kill him.
But...
I couldn't bring myself to use the sword.
Because that person
is my father.
Please...
be happy.
Tell my mother
that I'm sorry.
Young Master.
Yi Dae Yeop.
Young Master!
- Young Master! - Yi Dae Yeop!
Yi Dae Yeop!
You must not die like this.
Young Master!
You can't die like this!
Yi Dae Yeop!
Young Master!
Even just once,
even just once,
did you ever think of me
as your own child?
Excuse me... Father.
What is it?
Since Dae Yeop is dead, obviously, nobody can inherit the throne.
Should we delay the rebellion...
Didn't I tell you last time to have someone ready in advance?
I'm sorry.
Go out.
What are you doing? How dare you come in here?
Because it's been reported that a group of despicable people trespassed here, we are here to investigate.
Even if it inconveniences you, please bear with us for a bit.
Go and search!
You scoundrels! Get out this instant!
Since this room is small and looks like there is no place to hide in,
search other places.
Make sure to search thoroughly!
I don't know if my nephew and his family got away safely.
Oh my! Orabeoni Chun Bae! Long time no see!
I don't know her! It's a misunderstanding.
Why is a stranger trying to talk to me?
Orabeoni Chun Bae! I'll see you in a bit.
You got me wrong! It's a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding.
Just what have you spent your time doing?
There's no woman you don't know.
The only woman to me is... court lady Jo.
Oh... hi there, Orabeoni!
Oh hey...
It's a misunderstanding!
Where is the princess?
Oh, th-this way. This way.
Let go! Don't touch me.
Are you uncomfortable helping the westerners because of me?
While I was trying to rescue you...
I couldn't figure out another way.
You did well.
I also think that the only way to catch Yi I Cheom in this situation...
is a coup.
I do not want to endanger the whole family again for my sake alone, least of all you.
Nor am I confident I could do so.
So please... think of it as a coup for my sake.
But if we succeed...
his majesty will be dethroned.
It is said that the king is the father of the people.
But Father is someone who abandoned his own daughter to maintain power.
What could such a man do for his people?
Water flows down from the top, and disdain collects at the top.
All this time I have turned a blind eye because he was my father.
But while I have been with you, I have heard the grievances against my father from everywhere.
What's wrong must be corrected.
Anyone who knowingly does wrong and does not correct their ways...
they will definitely be met with the day of regret.
So please do what you must do.
I'm sorry.
Don't say such things. How could I not know your true feelings?
So please... don't suffer for my sake again.
Thank you.
No matter what happens...
His majesty and royal consort Yun's lives will be spared.
As unlikely as this may be, please don't have second thoughts.
I will be by your side to the very end.
Even the heavens won't be able to tear us apart.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Ahem! So I was saying... um...
You were saying what?
- You heard it all, right? - Yeah.
You hopeless—!
What about Mother?
I brought her here. Cha Dol and Yeon Ok as well.
I think I need to leave right after seeing Mother,
so please take good care of her.
Oh, of course...
Father!
Forgive me, Mother.
As long as you're safe.
Please receive my bow.
No need. You can bow later.
When you're safely home. I'll receive your bow then.
She was so worried, so I briefly filled her in.
You said this was a critically important matter.
Don't worry about us. Go on ahead.
While I'm not here,
Don't worry. I will protect Grandmother and Aunt,
so you make sure you aren't hurt, and come back home soon, all right?
Then I'll give you my greetings after I'm done.
Yes.
You can stop now.
Why won't you at least cry?
Whether they succeed in the coup or not, our future is set in stone.
Why are you trying so hard to pretend nothing's wrong?
Since you already have Chun Bae...
I won't worry about you.
Your Highness...
Please watch after my husband. Cha Dol too...
What are you planning to do?
Didn't you just say it with your own lips?
Our future is already set in stone.
Your Highness, I meant—
Of course, I believe that my husband will succeed no matter what.
So I will no longer be able to remain by his side.
If we look for it. If we try hard enough, there will be a way.
In this world, there is no way
for an ousted king's daughter to be with the grand dowager queen's nephew.
Your Highness!
Sit.
I am yet a princess, and you are a servant.
This may be my final order,
so please follow my command.
Sit.
Oh, no, Your Highness! Your Highness!
Thank you for everything.
For raising this worthless daughter and taking care of her.
This debt of gratitude...
I will never forget it.
Wait, Your Highness...
I'm sorry.
For making your life difficult until the very end.
I'm truly sorry.
Not at all, Your Highness.
No matter where you go...
no matter what you do...
I'll always be with you.
No matter what, I'll never...
leave you by yourself.
What happened so far?
The insurgency is set to take place in 12 days.
Were you able to convince the general of training? Once his men move, it'll mean certain defeat.
Because of the letter you gave me from the Dowager Queen, he has agreed to cooperate.
You promised to spare his majesty, Princess Hwa In,
and royal consort Yun. Don't ever forget that.
I understand.
More importantly, on the day of the insurrection, we pressed court lady Kim to have a feast in the backcourt.
That is when you have to capture his majesty.
Can you do it?
Your Majesty, The chief state councillor wishes to speak with you.
Tell him to come in.
Yes.
You should come and share a drink with me.
Your Majesty, I am sorry to inform you...
A report has come in that the general of training Yi Hong Rip and the westerners...
are plotting treason!
Your Majesty! You must immediately arrest General Yi Hong Rip,
and unleash your soldiers to capture Prince Neungyang and every single Westerner.
Gather the head of the investigation bureau, minister of war, and the police chiefs in secret.
And have the general of training questioned.
What shall we do with the left state councillor?
He will only amplify our problems, so don't call him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Call in Kim Dae Seok and Kim Ja Jeom.
You were planning treason?
How could you suggest such a horrible thing? Treason?
We are merely gathering troops to capture Yi I Cheom.
Please think.
This man is basically the king's son-in-law.
Do you think he could plot treason against him?
There's no deceit in my words. Please believe me, My Lady.
Can I believe him?
Yes. You can believe him.
Since this is coming from none other than you, I will trust you.
In turn...
Even if you take control, don't forget your promise to overlook my mistakes.
Do you understand?
Of course.
How could a man say two conflicting things with one mouth?
Please believe me, My Lady.
Kim Ja Jeom is not a man who would ever plot treason, Your Majesty!
He is a loyal subject!
Is Gae Si right?
- Your Majesty, the interrogation court is— - Are Gae Si's words true?
Is it treason or not?
Court Lady Kim's words are true.
Your Majesty! This is a critically important matter!
Tear down the interrogation court and have everyone go back.
Your Majesty!
Didn't you hear me? I told you to release him.
I'm now sick of hearing about treason. Just have everyone go back.
I'm no longer amused by this. Tell everyone to leave.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You follow me, Kim Dae Seok.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Is Hwa In doing well?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I abandoned Hwa In for my own safety.
And you ignored your own safety to save Hwa In.
You lied to me today.
Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty!
To hell with my grace. Does someone who wants my grace dare lie to me?
Then again...
It's not just you who deceived me.
Gae Si joined hands with Kim Ja Jeom and lied to me to save her own neck.
Even that fool Jung Yeong lied to me in order to help you.
There's nobody under the heavens whom I can trust.
I'm exhausted.
To be lied to and to be deceived. To be suspicious again and again...
All of it sickens me now.
I'm sure everyone believes I'm wrong.
My subjects, who were like my hands and feet... my people, my wife, and even my own daughter...
They have all resented and given up on me.
Those olden days...
when I led the people...
fighting alongside them, feeling their pains, all of the dreams I had...
They have all become dust.
"I shall never be like my father."
Again and again, I formed that determination in my heart.
Thinking back on it now...
I have become an even greater monster than him!
I abandoned my only daughter...
what in the world was I trying to protect?
I don't even remember.
It really is bullshit.
Isn't that right?
Your Majesty.
However... I am yet your king, so I will give you one last order.
Please command me.
Block Yi I Cheom.
Whether it's his son or anyone in the royal family...
If his chosen person becomes king, then Yi I Cheom will play the king himself and do whatever he wants.
As long as it's not Yi I Cheom, I am fine with whoever. So make sure...
Make sure you block him. Do you understand?
I will carry out your orders, Your Majesty!
Take it.
As Hwa In's father, I am giving my son-in-law a drink.
What are you waiting for?
I will leave Hwa In... I mean...
I will leave Su Gyeong in your hands.
I failed to protect her, but I ask you to do it instead.
This isn't an order...
But a sincere request.
As your son-in-law, to his father-in-law...
this will be my first and final...
bow to you.
Being stubborn will only add to your pain. Don't you know that there won't be burials for scum like you?
How dare you, you bastard!
Are you all right?
Thank you.
For now, escape the palace walls and...
Get to the regiment—! My Lord!
Go on ahead.
Will you be all right?
Yes.
Go and do as we planned.
How did you know about this?
I suspected that this rascal would disobey the order to free the general of training.
So I came here to teach him a lesson. But it seems I was a step late.
My Lord. It's not too late to join hands with the westerners.
Are you joking?
It'll be good to at least give it serious consideration—
Enough!
If his majesty weren't turning a blind eye to this, you would already be dead by my hands.
I was taught that a man should die for the one who understands him.
I'm not refusing you to be polite, but as for me, I have only one lord.
This night will be a long one, it seems. So be careful.
You too, My Lord. Stay safe.
Your Excellency, the husband has sent a letter.
Quickly bring it.
False accusation....
If it's a false accusation, then you are saying that it was a lie about the treason?
You are saying that it was a false accusation, right?
I even used a letter and did whatever you asked of me.
Please spare me.
I will spare you.
Thank you!
You don't need to be thankful.
It's only until your father is captured.
When my brother-in-law asked you to spare him,
Did you spare him?
T...That... So...
I definitely told you.
I will make sure I pay you back for this.
Spare me...
No, no, please spare me!
If you spare me, I will give you money or whatever you need...
So just this once, please spare me...
This is also on behalf of Chil Seong.
How many soldiers are there?
It's 1,200.
You are saying that it's only 1,200?
There were quite a few who left due to the report of treason.
- I'm sorry. - No.
The arrow has already been shot. What's the use in regretting now?
Certainly! Certainly!
Oust the lawless Gwanghae and Yi I Cheom.
Let's make the Jongmyo shrine and the court upright!
We are not the enemy.
Everyone, put your swords away.
Everyone who disobeys the orders will be beheaded following the military discipline.
Where is his excellency prince Neungyang?
He went to the Danbong Gate.
Everyone, step away!
You won't be able to block it anyway.
If you die here, who do you think will acknowledge you?
Don't die a useless death. Just escape.
Quickly!
I will open the door...
So, everyone step away!
What happened to the Donhwa Gate?
It's already opened.
We just need to capture King Gwanghae.
Will you go with us?
I will go to capture Yi I Cheom.
I understand.
Let's go.
Your Majesty,
It seems like there is some sort of mishap.
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty, it's a treason!
Your Majesty!
Is it Yi I Cheom?
It doesn't seem to be Yi I Cheom.
Then, it must be the citizens.
You must quickly escape, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
It's fine. Just go capture Yi I Cheom.
If you lose track of him, everything will be in vain.
I won't leave.
It's an order!
Now, you are saying that you aren't going to listen to my orders?
Your Majesty!
Drag him away right now!
Yes!
Is this a betrayal?
The reason I've endured the humiliation of licking your toes until now...
was all for today.
Take this wench away and lock her up.
Arrest the queen, the concubines, and anyone else related to the ousted king.
Yes!
Let go of me!
I will leave on my own.
What are you doing? We have to leave.
The anti-government forces have started to rampage.
We need to leave quickly.
Her Highness... What happened with Her Highness?
Quickly! Quickly!
How are you?
Did you ask Jung Young to bring me here?
How can I dare to change your course of action?
Then, was it him?
Was no part of your body harmed?
If you just wait a little,
As soon as I finish the preparations, I will lead you there.
- What are you talking about? - Here...
Since you must not stay here long...
I am telling you that I will lead you.
Are you saying this knowing how dangerous it is to even move with me?
Will I be safe moving alone?
Don't you even hate your father?
I do.
But,
No matter how much I hate you,
You are the world's only
father of mine.
Does this mean you forgive me?
Father...
Submissively take the binding rope, old man.
Come.
Hit him!
I thought you had escaped.
What happened with Won Yeop?
He is captured by my hands.
Have you killed him?
He's still alive.
All the decisions I have made were all decisions for the Joseon Dynasty.
It's probably your version of Joseon Dynasty.
If I think about the grudge regarding my family, I want to cut off your windpipe right now.
However, because of my friend ...
I'm holding back because he thinks of you as a father.
Come out.
Dae Yeop?
What did you do with Dae Yeop's body?
I took him to a sunny place,
and I buried him properly.
Thank you.
A man who has committed such an offense, as the king of the country,
We will dethrone King Gwanghae.
I am putting this Joseon dynasty into your hands.
I will keep it in mind. Your Royal Highness.
I will fix everything that's been wrong.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
What are you saying?
It's something I don't know about.
I'm saying this for your sake.
I told you that I don't know about it.
Don't do anything that you will regret later.
I will watch over you.
If you have the Buddhist initiation, you can never go back.
You won't regret it?
No.
You must shave your head first.
Go wash away all lingering attachments in your heart.
Yes.
For one last time, I will ask you again.
You won't regret it?
No.
I will carry out the shaving of your head.
It seems like the blade is bad. I must go to change the scissors.
Close your eyes and wait just a moment.
Father! Quickly, quickly.
Great Monk! Great Monk!
There's a big problem!
Some suspicious man... the princess...
