----
Why don't we just finish it here?
You're making money by killing people. It's all gone if you die.
There's this woman I know.
The most important thing for her is...
to live.
But you guys and I don't know that.
For us, living means not getting killed.
That's it.
But she's different.
She's really living her life.
Living her life briskly.
Is this what Excellency Deok Seong gave you?
Yes, it is.
Then you must be on that bastard's side, right?
That... bastard?
What did he say to you when he gave this to you? He must've said something.
He didn't tell me to give this to you for nothing.
He told me...
to show you that I have this, then you will follow me.
Who the heck do you think you are? Are you playing me now?
What is this?
Why is this so important?
You don't have to know.
And tell him I don't need that damn notebook. And if he wants to play, play by himself.
And you get out. This place isn't for just anybody.
I heard you're from heaven.
You saved people from death and can see the future.
Bug off.
It might be true since Gi Cheol really believes that.
Are you not going to follow me? I have what you want.
What do you think of this place?
In my world, I drink with my partners at a bar after work.
But there isn't a bar in the palace. So, let's just do it here.
Let's meet here once a day at this time.
You guys brush your teeth with willow branches, don't you?
But mix this with that when you brush your teeth.
This is called a toothpaste. I made it.
Do it at least twice a day. Morning and night.
You should have good teeth to fight well.
Captain.
What are you guys doing?
Hey, Chung Seok!
We're off duty now so...
Then you should get some sleep or strengthen your body or something.
Weren't you supposed to be in Kwon Seong Jeon?
I heard your room is over there. Let's go.
So this is your room.
Wow, it's so small.
Sit here.
I should go see the King.
But before that, I should change my clothes, so can you leave?
Come right here. If you're too far, I can't see it.
Should I go get the Queen's command? So I can take care of your wound whenever I can?
How's the hand? The hand with the frostbite?
It's fine.
Oh my God. Untie your shirt cuffs.
I need to sew up your wound. It's going to be painful since there aren't any anesthetics.
Bear the pain please.
This is a disinfectant made by Dr. Jang.
- Any more wounds beside this one? - No.
How's your right shoulder and your back?
It's just a brush burn.
It's going to hurt.
Just start it.
I think you can go back to Jeon Eui Shi now.
You didn't stay quietly at Kwon Seong Jeon anyway.
What happened to the killers that you were talking about?
They won't come here anymore.
Wow, you stand the pain very well. People in my world can't stand any pain.
So I need a lot of stuff such as anesthetics and painkillers.
Some people even drink or play games.
All done.
This is the last bandage that I brought from the heaven.
Every item that I brought is running out.
Please keep the wound from water if you can.
And I'm going to check the wound every other day, okay?
I sent one of my guys to heaven's door.
I told him to check the door everyday.
If the door opens, he will let me know right away.
I could've borrowed some place for you to stay around the door.
But I'm worried if you stay there.
What's wrong with your leg?
What?
Did your leg get hurt?
It's because this sword is heavy.
I'm just looking around.
I think it's going to take a while to go back to my world.
So I'm going to have to live in this world for a while.
What world am I in?
How does this world look like?
Ah, this is the world that I'm in now.
I really didn't look around here.
Because if I get serious about this world, I thought I wouldn't be able to go back.
What's your name? I'm Yoo Eun Soo.
- I'm Weol. - I'm Yeon Shi.
What makeup do you use? I think I can make some for you.
Mine is running out.
How do you guys take care of your skin?
You're safe. I worried about you so much.
I am late because I had to change my clothes.
Don't do that. When you come to see me, you don't have to treat me with courtesy.
Are you saying the Excellency won't kill the scholars anymore?
He knew that only I knew where they were hiding.
But when the killers were attacking me, they didn't ask me a single question.
They only tried to kill me.
You survived the people who tried to kill you.
But you still need to watch out for them.
I'll bring the scholars safely to the meeting.
But you should make them safe and secure.
I... I'll protect my people safely.
But I still feel uneasy.
What do you mean?
If the Excellency gave up on killing the scholars,
then it means he's up to something different.
Something different? What would it be?
Could you take care of the political stuff?
Can I only defend when enemies attack?
You're the King's bodyguard but you're getting foul-mouthed.
I'm sorry.
What do you think of her after you've met her?
- It was fun. - Wasn't it?
Eui Seon is good at surprising people around her.
So you brought me here just to see what kind of person she is?
Is that it?
That's not enough.
I'd like you to help me bring her to me.
The King doesn't allow you to have her?
The little young king doesn't know the value of her.
- Then? - There is this Wu Dal Chi with the King.
- He's protecting Eui Seon. - Wu Dal Chi?
He's the only man that can protect the King, so the King is very careful with him.
Then you can get rid of that Wu Dal Chi.
I will soon. But the problem is...
Eui Seon's heart.
I'm sorry. I just couldn't stop laughing.
I know I told you this before but she's not from this world.
What she has in her head... she wouldn't give it to me unless I have her heart.
- I know it because I've tested her. - So?
- You want me to bring her heart? - Yeah.
- If I do? - Then I'll let you have anything.
Whatever you want.
Then what do you want to get from her?
It's Eui Seon. What I want is Eui Seon.
Once the scholars get into the palace, they will be safe.
The first defense will be visible but the second defense will be invisible.
After noon, the scholars will be arriving here one by one.
Your team will guard them from the front door to the side room of the palace.
Yes, Captain.
Are you going to put archers on the roof?
Yes, I am.
Place some of them on the ground and the rest of them will be on the roof.
- Will there be assassins? - How do I know that?
Do you think they'd tell us who they will bring?
Sorry.
We already practiced what we'd do.
We're going to become a two-person team to protect the scholars one by one.
- But... - But?
There aren't many people to guard the outside.
- I know. - Then what should we do?
I'll handle that. You don't let any stranger in the palaces.
I won't let even little ants come in.
Finish the meeting.
Here's an ant.
Hey, when there's a tributary trade next time,
- Our carriage... - Let five of them join there.
Two of them.
Dude.
You really don't respect us.
- Only two of them. - You bastard.
We provided the place and food for that many scholars!
Do you want to know how much it cost us?
Fine. I'll calculate how much it cost us. Let's see. So...
This isn't good.
Let's just kick all the scholars out.
If you're going to kick them out, please send them into the palace one by one.
That bastard is a better business man than we are.
Mobilize all the people you have to do that.
Then are you going to let five of our carriages join there?
Two of them.
Fine. Three of them.
Captain!
- What? - Eui Seon! Eui Seon is...
What about her?
She's here shopping now. She's in the herb street.
- Where's Mu Gak Shi? - They're with her...
It smells good.
- This is a power tea, right? - Yes, it is.
I need to buy this. There's vitamin C in here and it's really good for the skin.
What did you say?
She said something about the tea but I didn't understand it.
I was talking to myself. Sorry.
- How much is this? I'd like to buy one... - What is this? I'll give you this for free.
- And this one isn't thegreat one. Sis. - Oh, I'll bring the best one.
What's wrong with these women? I'm giving this to her for free. Put down the sword.
- What are you doing? - These people are...
Choi Young, she's so pretty.
I can't tell if she's from heaven or not. She's just like us.
So, I'm going to make soaps and makeups, and give it to people for free at first.
But once you use them, you can't stop using them.
So next time I make them, I should sell them to people.
Are you saying you're making money?
If I sell them, especially to Goryeo's royal family,
It's going to be a big hit! I can be super rich in Goryeo!
I also thought about how I'm going to sell it. It's called pyramid selling.
What this is...
- Sis, did you see that? - Yes, I saw that.
Choi Young is smiling now, right?
- He is smiling. - He's not smiling like a rotten ghost.
He's smiling like a living man.
- I didn't expect to see you here. - Yeah, hi.
You're Excellency Jang Won.
Who's this man?
You're quite rude. Have some courtesy.
So are you the man who protects Eui Seon?
- Do you know him? - He's the King's uncle.
He's Excellency Deuk Heung.
Are you here to shop?
I'm also looking around the market here, as it has been a long time since I came Gae Kyung.
Would you like to take a look around here? I can take you.
Just keep doing whatever you were doing. I was on the way home.
Let's go.
Have you met him before?
A couple days ago, I met him in the palace.
Why didn't you tell me that?
That's...
- Dae Man. - Yes, Captain.
Go tell Court Lady Choi that Excellency Deuk Heung is in Excellency Deok Seong's house.
- Excellency Deuk Heung... - Go now.
From now on, you have to report what Eui Seon does and what she says.
Okay.
Hey wait.
You said we should tell everything to each other. You want that kind of relationship.
- I was just... - Just what?
- He's the King's uncle but... - What did he say?
Hey, this is very important. The King should know this.
He came to me with the notebook that Gi Cheol has.
He angered me by using that, so I told him I didn't need it, and to bug off.
- I yelled at him like that. - Why?
If I told him, you'd feel responsible for me again.
And think that you should get that back for me.
So I didn't tell you. You got a problem with that?
Okay. You can go now.
Your Majesty, it is I, Court Lady Choi.
Eui Seon is making something interesting.
It's some kind of product for women.
She went shopping to get those materials.
Excellency Deuk Heung is staying at Gi Cheol's house.
Who's Excellency Deuk Heung?
He's the only kindred of the present king.
Why did Gi Cheol bring him to the house?
Probably to threaten the King.
How long are you going to let that spy stay here?
I don't know if she's the only spy here. There might be more.
We might use her one more time so I'm just letting her stay.
I'm going to set a table of drinks tonight.
Pardon?
Do I have to say it again? I'm setting a table of drinks for the King, so prepare for that.
Okay.
He was the son of a concubine and an important official.
He was kicked out with his mother and wandered to this temple and that temple.
He didn't get killed because he lived under the shadows like that.
Yeah. Except for the present King, he's the only royal family left in Goryeo.
I've seen Excellency Deuk Heung.
- You saw him face to face? - Yeah.
I was selling the products at that time. It was three years ago.
I went to this geisha house to sell some products, and I saw him there.
- A geisha house? - Yeah.
One woman there told me there's an interesting monk in the house.
- He was surrounded by so many women. - He was a monk and was surrounded by women?
- And what? - He was playing go.
A monk surrounded by women was playing go?
They are the people who will work for me.
I'm thinking of nominating them to a public office.
Gi Cheol won't be able to kill them easily once they have some government position.
I'm sorry to tell you this but you don't have the right to nominate any government position.
- However, for them... - I will abolish that rule.
Your Majesty...
Then it means Excellency Deok Seong can nominate whoever he wants.
Authority in Goryeo is still in my hand. So I made a government position for you.
Now you'll manage the affairs of state.
Now you can conduct inspections of government offices in Goryeo.
It's a position where you receive the King of Yuan's command, not the King of Goryeo's.
Do you not like the position?
Can I ask you what you're thinking?
I don't think.
That's how I survived so far.
I don't think.
But you're going to have to say something at the meeting tomorrow.
Write down what you want me to say. I'll memorize it and say it.
Are you serious?
You brought me here because you don't like the present King, my nephew, right?
Yeah, that's right.
Are you planning to make me a king?
I'm planning to do that.
I see.
What kind of king do you want to be?
A king that can last long.
Do everything you want to at the meeting tomorrow.
You can do it in front of Gi Cheol.
The palace will be protected by Wu Dal Chi.
And so will the royal guard. Gi Cheol won't be able to do anything against you.
Your Majesty, this is Court Lady Choi.
The Queen wants me to tell you this.
She must've been uncomfortable staying at Gang Ha Jeon.
Is she doing fine at Kwon Seong Jeon?
She wanted me to ask you if you can come to Kwon Seong Jeon tonight.
Tonight?
She said she will be waiting for you with a table of drinks.
Your Majesty...
Every retainers here will be 20 feet away from her room.
Close your eyes and thoughts. Only focus on guarding from strangers.
Is this table for me?
Excellency Deuk Heung is with Gi Cheol.
I heard that. Choi Young reported that already.
I heard that Gi Cheol brought Deuk Heung here to threaten your throne.
So?
It hasn't been that long time since you became a king.
Even Gi Cheol will need a good reason to dethrone you
when he asks for that to the King of Yuan.
Some of my families are in Ssangseong.
I can get their help.
Before Gi Cheol sends a person to the King of Yuan
we can tell the King of Yuan.
Please...
Let me help you.
I ordered them in a hurry.
I told them to prepare a great color for you.
Do you like it?
Your Majesty.
And this is...
Do you remember?
Aren't you...
Excellency Gang Leung?
Are you from Goryeo?
You knew who I was at that time.
Didn't you?
I knew it.
But you didn't tell me who you were.
Can I ask you what royal family you're from?
Never mind. I don't care if you're from a royal family or not.
I'm the second son of the previous king, Chung Seok.
I've been living in Yuan as a hostage of the weak country, Goryeo, for years.
I know I'm weak and powerless. But will you marry me?
I couldn't tell you.
I kept thinking of the reason why you didn't tell me who you were at that time.
- Was she playing on me? - No, I wasn't.
What did she want to hear from me? Why did she not say anything staying next to me?
She will be my wife from today...
Who are you talking about, My Lord?
I'm a king now.
But I don't own that much.
I don't have power or people.
But there's only one thing I have.
My stuffy principles.
Protecting my country against Yuan dynasty.
No matter what, I'll protect my people.
So getting help from the Yuan dynasty will break your stuffy principles.
I broke my principles once already.
I swore that I would not give my heart to a woman from Yuan.
But I broke one of my principles.
No matter how hard I struggled, it didn't work.
Because you're in my heart, and I can't just take you out of my heart,
I was cold to you.
Would you help a weak person like me...
not break my stuffy principles anymore?
What's this?
These are spears and swords. It's from a forge.
We didn't order new weapons.
I'm only doing what I'm told to do.
Hey, who's taking care of the weapons and stuff?
And give this to the captain of Wu Dal Chi.
To Captain?
If you tell him this is what he wanted last time, then he will know.
- Deok Man. - Yes?
- Give this to Captain. - Why me?
- Because I'm busy. - Hey, dude!
[The day of the meeting.]
[Seo Yeon: a meeting where the king and his retainers discuss together.]
I, Lee Jae Hyun and other scholars have come to see you, Your Majesty.
It must've been so hard for you to come and see me here.
But I'm so happy that you came.
Lift your faces. I'd like to see each one of you.
Gwan Cho, In Dam, and Sa Bae.
- And here is... - Dong Ja Ryu Won.
- You said you're good at memorizing. - That was long time ago.
Now I'm getting old and something shocking keeps happening to me.
My brain must've been damaged.
Do you know him?
He's Excellency Deuk Heung or something. He's the King's uncle.
Is he not that important of a person?
How reliable is your memory?
He was mentioned in the text book but not in the exam.
We probably don't have to worry about that guy, right?
I'd like to transact state affairs in front of the retainers and the scholars here.
Please judge me if I'm doing the right thing or not, and teach me.
Gi Wan of the third government position.
You'll be removed from the position as of today.
Ja Wun of the third government position...
- also be removed from the position. - Your Majesty.
What did I do wrong?
You're responsible for the storage in the palace, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
Since I've become king, you attended the office only for two days.
A failure in duty and dereliction of duty.
- Your Majesty. - You're an inspector of the palace.
Yes, I am.
For the past one year, what did you inspect?
- Pardon? - There isn't any record.
That's...
There are lists of retainers' names, explaining why they have to be removed from their positions.
I'll give you those to each one of you, and for each empty position, I'll nominate people.
Your Majesty.
Tell me.
There's a department where we handle all the personnel division.
If there's somebody you want to nominate or fire, you have to...
Ah, you mean Jung Bang? (A department of human resources.)
- Yeah. - I abolished that this morning.
So from today, I'll be doing it.
Ik Jae, Lee Jae Hyun.
You will be put into the first government position.
I receive your order.
I'm your uncle and you're my nephew, but this is our first time to meet.
I heard you'd be coming here.
I heard you need help for governing a country, so I came here for you.
If you really mean what you said, I'd be very grateful.
So the empty seat over there is your seat, right?
Oh, so you abolished Jung Bang?
That's what my father, the previous king, Chung Shin enacted. Did you know that?
Yes, I did.
So you're following him.
The King is there alone.
Alone?
He doesn't want anybody to come.
I have a question to ask you.
Go ahead.
Having decided to be my person...
The first reason for that was...
probably to keep Eui Seon's promise, right?
The promise that you'd send her back.
To keep that promise, you have to fight with Gi Cheol.
And you chose me to use my power.
Does the order matter?
I'm getting tempted.
If I give Eui Seon to Gi Cheol, wouldn't everything be solved?
But if I do that, you will leave me.
You probably won't serve a king that doesn't keep his promise.
Who do you want me to kill first? Just name one.
Are you trying to kill yourself?
She's having a nightmare every night.
Is that a nightmare?
She has suffered some misfortune.
I think she has been shocked from so many things
that she didn't have to experience at heaven.
- I didn't know. - She's good at hiding her feelings.
With her smiling face.
Here.
So good.
I'll put it here.
What's this?
That hurts me.
A pretty woman like you shouldn't put it here.
Let's see...
How long should we do this?
Have fun here. This guy is calling me now. So I have to go.
- Did you come here for a reason? - I came to say hi.
We've done that a couple times already.
- I also have an warning for you. - What is it?
Don't ever show yourself in front of Eui Seon.
She's scared of you.
What if I don't listen to you and go to her?
You won't be able to use your right hand.
I think I stalled for enough time. I should leave now.
Are you guys thieves?
If you need money, you chose the wrong person.
- Sorry. - Wu Dal Chi?
Yeah. I'm Choi Young.
How dare you treat a royal family member like this?
Is this the King's command? Even if he's the King, he shouldn't...
I rescued you from thieves. I saw you getting kidnapped by them, so I saved you.
Since I rescued you, could I ask you a favor?
- You have Eui Seon's notebook, don't you? - Eui Seon's notebook?
You did this to me just for that?
Hey, do you think I'd carry that important thing with me?
That's already in Excellency Deok Seong's drawer...
I hope you'd get that somehow, and give it to Eui Seon.
What did you just say?
She thinks if she figures out what's in the notebook,
she can find a way to go back to heaven.
Figure that out with Eui Seon.
Why?
If you figure out what that is, the Excellency won't treat you badly.
You know that Gi Cheol can bury you if he thinks you're useless.
So?
You'll get a strong weapon against the Excellency.
And?
And Eui Seon will find a way to go back to heaven.
Then what about you? What do you get?
I'll feel at ease.
These thieves can always kidnap you
and if you get kidnapped by them, I might not be able to rescue you next time.
So you'd better watch your mouth.
Eui Seon is especially good at using a sword.
She's also got a short temper.
So you'd better behave yourself in front of her.
I think it'd be hard for us to get close with the royal guard.
Actually the relationship between us and them are like a dog and cat.
We...
I think you're all set now. Take this before you go.
This is called a soap. It's made of all the good herbs that Dr. Jang has here.
If you use this when you wash your face, you'll feel your skin get so much better.
Here. This will be free only for today. Okay?
Draw the knife.
You think your enemy would wait until you draw your knife?
I only use a knife when I operate surgery on my patient, who's lying down on the bed.
- So... - This knife wouldn't be that heavy.
Put this in your ankle.
And draw it again.
If you grab a knife like this, it'd be hard to use.
Upside down.
- Here. - Cut it.
Cut it with your strength.
A good thing about a short knife is you can change the direction very quickly.
But the problem is you have to concentrate at one go. Like this!
Next.
One. Two. Three.
Now try to attack me with the knife.
And now try to stab me.
Spread your legs.
Suck your stomach.
Try again.
Why can't you do it?
See how I'm doing it.
Do it like this!
Spread your legs and suck your stomach. And do it like this!
I like it here too.
The air is fresh and it's quiet.
But you want to go back, right?
And you're just enduring it.
What the heck? What are you guys doing here?
How dare you come here?
Who was it? Is he here?
It's him.
What are you doing?
Put down your swords!
Him too.
Here!
Is Eui Seon inside?
Do you remember me?
If you're here because you're sick, I'll get you Dr. Jang. Deok, go there.
This.
I stole this for a while so I can't give it to you, but do you want to take a look?
I'm not here by Gi Cheol's bidding today. I came here by myself.
So please release your anger.
Do you want me to take a look at that?
- Yeah. - What's your condition?
If there has to be a condition... Just let me stay next to you when you look at this.
So this notebook got here 1000 years ago?
It was Hwa Ta's. That's what I heard from people.
It's a lie.
This paper hasn't been that long. Look, there's still a highlighter mark here.
Maybe 100 years.
What does it say?
It's numbers and English.
What?
Choi Young is here by your order.
Continue.
Do you recognize this box?
No, I don't.
It's 500 nyang in a promissory note.
Since they got their government position, they've started to work.
The first task they're working on is to look into the corruption of what you've done.
Choi Young received new weapons from a dealer.
And took a bribe.
He delivered it and they received them.
And this promissory note was found in your room.
We'll give you time to explain it.
So I got 500 nyang as a bribe.
Not 50,000 nyang? Only 500 nyang?
This is what I found so far.
Except for the sovereign ruler, there is no right to give birth or enjoy other privileges.
Every privilege will get rotten anyway.
Hey, Ik Jae.
As I told you before...
When you give me the mission at first, you commanded us not to be swayed by authority.
And to work fairly.
If you wanted to put the blame on me, you should've done it right.
500 nyang? Are you kidding me?
Only for 500 nyang, did you have to make your guys use those illegal weapons?
Choi Young, did you say you don't know about this promissory note?
Then can I say your subordinates got the note secretly without telling you?
----
- Are you going to deal with the likes of him? - I'm going to make up for everything that was lost.
What did the king have to say about the events that transpired?
I'll give you his spot if you do this.
Since it isn't midnight, I was thinking of bringing her here.
