----
Shenyang Castle, the heart of Liaodong...
will fall into our hands within 40 days.
[Episode 47]
I have a message from Mayor of Ansan Lee Sook Beon.
He is ready now. He is on standby near the late queen's tomb.
When all six of these incense sticks burn out
[Lee Sook Beon] we will begin.
They are ready. I will go check.
Lee Bang Ji...
- Take good care of him. - Yes, Your Highness.
- His Majesty? - Yes.
His Majesty believes it will be difficult to leave for war tomorrow.
His Majesty also believes the date cannot be delayed any longer...
He instructs you to lead the soldiers and depart first.
We are only headed to Pyongyang tomorrow, so there is no big concern.
Once he has recovered, he can head to Pyongyang.
Yes, sir.
Ddang Sae, she finished making your clothes!
You are so lucky!
When I return...
then will we be able to dream together?
Excuse me, ma'am.
- Wait here for a moment. - Yes, ma'am.
- What's wrong? - It's nothing.
All right.
Ddang Sae!
Why did you come back?
Whatever happens in the future will happen.
But now is also important.
I think you should wear this.
You have to come back alive.
I will make sure to come back alive.
Isn't that Grandma Myo Sang?
It is.
Bang Won... has started.
Boon Yi...
Boon Yi, please spare me.
Please spare my Moo Hyool!
Is it today?
Is Prince Jeongan attacking Lord Sambong?
I believe so.
I believe so... Today...
I heard it's today.
Then what about Bang Ji?
Lord Sambong is in danger!
Please, spare us just this time. Just this time.
Your brother will be fine.
I heard your brother will be taken somewhere else.
My Moo Hyool told me so.
I'm a human being, would I have stayed quiet
if I heard your brother would be killed?
I wouldn't be human if I stayed quiet!
What do I do... What do I do...
They are only striking Lord Sambong...
Boon Yi, please spare my Moo Hyool. Please spare me...
Grandma Myo Sang helped Prince Jeongan!
Why is Banchon getting involved in politics?
Bang Ji could wind up dead.
That warrior should be with Lord Sambong.
They must be at Lord Nam's house tonight.
We should go there.
Before those incense sticks burn away, we have to take Lee Bang Ji out.
Ma'am.
Ma'am, please run.
What is this ominous feeling?
Swords!
Bi Wol!
So we meet again, new leader of Hwasadan.
You found the way on your own.
- Where is Yeon Hee? - She is not far.
She is over in Boriam.
So you should hurry there.
If we were to have a sword match...
wouldn't that take up some time?
Lord Ha Ryoon is here.
I am glad you came.
Yes, Your Highness.
I brought the soldiers with me.
I just handed them over to Sook Beon.
You have done well.
Your Highness...
What is this?
"On August 26, 1398..."
"Sambong Jung Do Jeon plotted treason to harm the royal kindred."
"However, Prince Jeongan knew about it ahead of time and raised an army."
What is this?
"It is the history that will be recorded in the future"
"and the history that has occurred so far."
"Please see the next page."
"Sambong was arrested as he was running away like a mouse..."
In the end...
"he knelt in front of Prince Jeongan and begged for his life."
"However, Prince Jeongan chided Sambong..."
"and beheaded him."
Yes. That is the history that will occur from this moment.
If this goes well...
you should create Father's royal annals.
Your Highness, Bang Ji has left.
Now, let us begin.
This is my favorite weapon for lopping off heads.
[Songhyunbang (Nam Eun's Vacation House]
Here you are.
When I look back on it, it is truly incredible.
At first, it was absurd.
The day actually came that we will go to conquer Liaodong!
We do not know yet.
If Zhu Di does not advance to the south
we will have to stop all of this.
You will make it through again.
Land policy reform, change of dynasties, and abolishment of private soldiers...
Many delusions you have thought up have turned to reality in the end.
We came this far step by step.
You are...
Bang Ji! Where is Bang Ji?
What is it? Why are you looking for Bang Ji?
Prince Jeongan... raised an army!
- What? - What do you mean? An army?
What is that sound outside?
What sound?
There's no one here.
- Park Po! - Yes, Your Highness!
This is Commander Park Po!
- Moo Hyool! - Yes, Your Highness.
Warrior Moo Hyool!
Prince Jeongan is attacking! Protect this place!
Sir!
Soldiers are here! You must leave!
What about Bang Ji?
I have not seen Bang Ji for a while.
Sir, we have to leave!
Stop!
- Ddang Sae! - Yeon Hee...
Lee Bang Ji...
[Jo Mal Saeng] If you take a single step from there...
she will die.
You should not be here now!
Hurry! Get out of here, Ddang Sae!
If you move, she will die!
Can't you see?
They led you here so they could attack Lord Sambong!
So hurry...
Leave now!
Lee Bang Ji!
I don't want to kill her.
You need to stay here just for a while. Please!
No, no...
Shim Hyo Saeng!
[Shim Hyo Saeng]
Jang Ji Hwa!
[Jang Ji Hwa]
Hey! Who is this bastard?
He is Lee Geun!
Bang Won, this is Lee Geun!
[Lee Geun]
[Jung Do Jeon Nam Eun]
No, Ddang Sae! Lord Sambong is in danger!
I swear to Heaven!
If you take one more step, I will slay her!
You may be able to kill me
but you will not be able to save her!
Yeon Hee...
Ddang Sae...
Yeon Hee...
It is not your fault.
You are not to blame, and it's not your fault.
It's just that the world is strange.
Remember?
It's not... your fault.
Don't speak, Yeon Hee.
I...
It's not... that you weren't able to protect me.
So...
You can make my dream come true.
Ddang Sae...
Lord Sambong...
What on earth is going on?
Park Po!
Have soldiers line up in every alley leading to Sukjeongmun Gate.
We have to find Jung Do Jeon and Nam Eun. Do you understand?
Yes, sire!
- Let us know as soon as you find them. - Yes, sire.
Let's go!
Bang Gan.
I will go to the Military Bureau and join Lee Sook Beon.
All right.
- Come with me. - Let us go.
- Prince Jeongan... raised a coup. - Raised a coup?
What do you mean?
- I will go to the Military Bureau. - What about Lord Sambong?
It seems that soldiers have entered Songhyunbang.
I heard Gap Boon went there.
- So you should look for Lord Sambong. - I will.
Prince Jeongan raised an army? But he did not say anything to me?
How did it happen?
Did he sense that I was a spy?
- I heard we missed Sambong? - We have to find him.
Let us seize the Military Bureau first. You may begin.
Yes, sire.
- Now, let us enter! - Yes, sir!
Why have we not heard anything yet?
It's past time.
We have to do something. Both of you should move first.
- What if Sambong is alive-- - We have no time to quibble over it.
- Please hurry to Lord Jo Joon. - Yes, let us go.
Yes, let us go.
I will make sure to convince Jo Joon.
What is this about?
I don't need a reason to visit you, Uncle.
Do you feel uneasy since we are heading out tomorrow?
Bang Gwa.
On the night of the big plan...
you should not have blood on you.
Stay with Uncle Ji Ran. You will receive a message.
The smell of blood is permeating the air tonight.
Kill everyone who resists!
What brings you here so late at night?
Please, let me in for just a moment.
You cannot enter here at night.
Oh my!
[Sungkyunkwan]
Why, Prince Jeongan... Why!
Will Bang Ji be all right?
I cannot find out right now.
Bang Ji is capable. Don't worry too much.
- Can you go to Hwasadan? - Hwasadan?
Check on the situation at Hwasadan.
If Yeon Hee is there, tell her about this situation and my location.
Yes.
- What did Prince Jeongan do? - Please keep quiet!
It would be a huge problem if he knew that Lord Sambong was here.
This girl! Why did you get involved in things like this again?
Yeon Hee...
Yeon Hee!
What on earth happened?
By any chance, did Yeon Hee...
Bang Ji! Where on earth are you?
Did you... do this?
Who is this?
You're the leader of Banchon.
What brings you here?
What about Yeon Hee? Where is Yeon Hee?
Yeon Hee?
Who is Yeon Hee?
Such person... existed until recently.
But not anymore... in this world.
What about my brother?
My brother...
We missed Lee Bang Ji.
Leave.
Why did you let her go?
That girl... is hard to deal with in many ways.
In many ways.
Lee Bang Ji...
What happened?
Prince Jeongan attacked us.
Where is Lord Sambong?
It seems that he escaped.
Please hurry and save him.
[Military Bureau]
It was easier than I thought to seize the Military Bureau.
We cannot let our guard down.
We haven't found Sambong yet.
How is the progress in the palace?
Soldiers of Lee Sook Beon and mine have surrounded the palace now.
But we split the soldiers to chase Sambong
so we cannot figure out if we will be successful.
Also, His Majesty is ill...
but if he recovers and comes out in his armor...
everything will be useless.
So we have to catch Sambong soon and pressure the palace
in order to receive His Majesty's command!
Bang Gan.
Lead the soldiers at the palace with Sook Beon.
I will. Leave the palace to me!
- Let's go, Park Po! - Yes, Your Highness.
Your Majesty, the Military Bureau has been attacked!
Who would attack the Military Bureau?
- His Highness Prince Jeongan-- - What is that?
Sambong! Sambong!
My armor... Bring my armor!
- Sire! - Sire!
If Prince Jeongan armed his soldiers with weapons he hid away
their numbers can't be too great. We should hurry to the palace now--
Bang Won is reckless, but he is also meticulous.
He can't have started this with only his private soldiers.
Government soldiers must have been brought in.
Government soldiers? Just who...
Ha Ryoon, Lee Sook Beon.
You picked an unbelievable day, Yi Bang Won.
Would the palace also be surrounded?
The order would be the Military Bureau, and then the palace.
He must have also sent his people to convince powerful officials.
What should we do?
Now, the most important thing in order to protect our big plan
has become our survival.
Yes. Without our heads, no one will be convinced so easily.
That is why Prince Jeongan must be desperately looking for us.
The only sure military support we have
is the soldiers who will gather at two in front of Sukjeongmun Gate tomorrow.
We have to get to Sukjeongmun Gate somehow.
Here is Sungkyunkwan, here is Banchon.
And this is Sukjeongmun Gate.
I will leave Banchon now.
You should head to Sukjeongmun Gate through the north gate of Sungkyunkwan.
One of us has to survive and lead the soldiers in front of Sukjeongmun Gate!
Yes.
Did you find Sambong?
[Park Po] We haven't found him yet.
By the way, sire...
someone wants to see you urgently.
You are...
What... brings you all the way here this late at night?
It can't be...
Do you mean to follow me now?
[Woo Hak Joo] No, I am not here to follow you, sire.
Then, why?
There is something I would like to tell you.
Did you come here to sell me information?
Sambong...
He is in Sungkyunkwan right now.
Then...
Wait!
Just why... would you tell me that?
I despise you, sire. But only for tonight...
I will pray for your success.
Sambong... Please make sure to catch him.
Then I will head out first.
Be careful.
See you in front of Sukjeongmun Gate.
Please... be careful.
By the way...
What did you believe in to follow me this far?
Even before the incident at Jangpyung Gate...
I was only a humble scholar who was ostracized in Sungkyunkwan.
There was no particular reason.
It was just... your nickname during the time in Sungkyunkwan.
My nickname? Did I have a nickname?
Actually, since you had such a mean personality
no one would have mentioned it in front of you.
Your nickname was "idiot."
What?
You were the first idiot. I was the second idiot.
That's why...
I just thought that we would get along well.
My my...
It was an honor... to be able to follow you.
Thank you. I truly thank you.
If we get to see each other again in front of Sukjeongmun Gate
let us forget this conversation.
It will be embarrassing.
Sir!
We're in big trouble!
What is it?
Soldiers are now headed to Banchon and Sungkyunkwan...
[Banchon]
The back gate and the north gate of Sungkyunkwan!
The west gate leading to Banchon, the path to Daesungjeon!
Seal off all of them!
Yes, sire!
Let's go!
I heard Jo Mal Saeng missed Lee Bang Ji.
Bang Ji is also on the move. If Bang Ji finds out that Sambong is here
it is more probable that he will come through a side gate.
Guard the west gate of Banchon. I will head to another place.
Yes, sir! Let's go!
He is at Sungkyunkwan.
Sambong is at Sungkyunkwan. Let us go to Sungkyunkwan!
Yes, sir!
[Sungkyunkwan]
Are you not going in, sire?
Daesungjeon, the shrine for Confucius, is in here.
Although the situation required us to enter Banchon with weapons...
we should not take weapons into Daesungjeon.
Without the royal command...
Is there any revolution with His Majesty's permission?
Now! Speak it loud after me!
Yell out, "Come out, Jung Do Jeon!"
What if Jung Do Jeon runs away?
That is why we have also placed soldiers at the back gate.
We can just barge in there and catch him!
We are making history right now.
Sambong... needs to run away like a mouse.
My lord, please run away through the back gate!
My lord!
I have built a mountain...
but I am missing just one load of earth.
Pardon?
Come out, Traitor Jung Do Jeon!
My goodness! Sir, they are really here!
Come out, Traitor Jung Do Jeon!
Prince Jeongan must be outside, so please deliver this to him.
Pardon?
Come out, Traitor Jung Do Jeon!
[Dongjae, Seojae (Students' Accommodation)]
Come out, Traitor Jung Do Jeon!
I am responsible for the flame at Sungkyunkwan tonight.
I happened to be here...
I was told to deliver this...
He sent a letter?
Why don't you read it?
- Should I really read it? - Read it!
"Keep it down. I will be out soon."
Everyone, keep quiet!
My teacher... needs time.
Can you deliver this to my brother Do Gwang?
Yes, of course I will. Anything for you, sir.
I will put my life on the line to deliver this.
You may leave.
Why are you standing there?
Sir!
My son Pal Bong who was killed by Hong In Bang's servants...
He must have passed well into the afterlife thanks to you, sir.
But this is the only thing I can do for you...
I am truly sorry, sir.
You must have been awaken.
Go back to sleep.
Even if many things change tomorrow morning...
I hope you don't change.
- Teacher! - Teacher!
- Teacher. - Teacher! Teacher!
Teacher...
Lord Sambong...
He is here, isn't he?
Maybe.
I must go, Moo Hyool.
Step aside.
Bang Ji...
I will ask of you a favor for the first time.
Please leave.
He did not run away.
Will you walk with me?
Yes, Teacher.
Where have you been!
- Why? - There is pandemonium in Sungkyunkwan!
Why did you not run away?
We yelled out so loudly.
There really was no need.
The country that you and I plan to create is in fact the same.
Whether I do it or you do it...
why would it matter?
It is just that my path has been twisted now
so I am stepping down.
Since you know about my ideas and plans better than anyone else...
you will do well.
As for the Liaodong conquest...
I will not go through with it.
That is also for the survivor to determine.
The alive one must think and agonize on his own
and lead the generation.
How could the dead one lead the generation?
I am tired, Bang Won.
Live a cruel life, or face a cruel death...
I have become the same way, Poeun.
In that record...
about how he ran away like a mouse...
leave that part out.
War should not be determined by old people!
Because only the young people die!
He is the strongest man!
This... is not a map of Goryeo.
I am that man.
I am Jung Do Jeon.
Let us defeat the three leaders of Dodang and create a new country.
From a man to another man, can you promise me?
I promise you.
I will create an Office of Inspection that is always suspicious
an Office of Censors that always reprimands
and an Office of Advisers that is always loud.
I will correct your thoughts!
Call me Teacher from now on!
[Jung Do Jeon]
----
[Six Flying Dragons]
It is His Highness Prince Jeongan! Open the gate!
I will end it so that Father can give up.
He is Nam Eun! He is a follower of Jung Do Jeon!
Take my head.
I was successful in fending off Lee Bang Ji, but I lost him.
We should be prepared. Why don't you try this?
Brother! Please spare me, Brother!
You have no sin to be forgiven.
Is it Bang Won? Did Bang Won do it?
You are below dogs and pigs!
