We already have the answer we're looking for.
Why are they so foolish?
The will of the Great King is never overlooked.
The head Shim Won should be arrested immediately when he gets back from Ming.
The King shall make his decision.
To clean up this mess.
Spare him.
Spare my Father.
I can't save him. I can't do anything. I'm sorry.
I'm Ddol Bok!
Father must protect the son.
Did you solve this?
You want me to help you?
If you add the rows, columns, and the diagonals.
It's still one.
This is the King's way!
Bringing power to one!
To me, Lee Bang Won!
You must save Shim Won.
You absolutely can't get caught.
Dam, do you even know these complex words?
What does this letter say?
You can read?
It says that master should stay away.
That's the only way that everyone can live.
Gather army and bring the authority to this country.
Did you get it done?
Yes sir, I did as you ordered.
I did everything they told me to do.
You didn't know did you? You can't read, can you!
It's all because of you! We're all dying because of you!
Father!
Who was it? Who did this to you?
Father!
Who was it! Who did this to you!
Who's the bastard?
It was you.
It was because of you.
He didn't want to be a burden to you.
He chose to die.
Tell me, Father!
Who was it?
Who did this to you!
It was you who did it.
Father! I'm Ddol Bok!
You can tell me.
Tell me who did this to you!
Father!
Yes! Who the hell was it?
Who the heck did this to an innocent man like you!
Who the hell could it be! The ones up above!
In their eyes,
we're less than a fly.
Those bastards!
This is so not fair!
Does this make any sense?
Father, who is it...
I should go to the Royal Prison.
I want to see my mother at least.
Lee Do
Your Highness, where are you going?
I'll escort you.
Mu Hyul
I'm going to the Royal Prison.
You can't.
If the Great King finds out...
I really... can't do anything?
But...
But I'm...
I am...
the King...
Everyone is dying here!
You should tell us what's going on at least!
That's what I'm saying!
Are we cows or dogs?
Shut up you slaves!
Slaves aren't people?
We're the subjects of this country!
Are you out of your mind?
Someone died here. Suk Sam died here!
What? Dead?
Damn it.
Hey! Clean it up!
Let go!
You little brat, move!
-Let go! -Let go of him!
Let's go!
Let's go.
Hey, Ddol Bok! You must go!
My father! What about my father!
He wants you to run away too!
Right? Right Big Bro?
See? He wants you to leave quickly!
Come on Ddol Bok! Let's go.
Ddol Bok! Let's go!
Let's go! Come on!
Quick!
Prison break! Prison break!
Here! Here!
Hey! Ddol Bok! Come!
Faster!
Quickly!
You come up here fast Father!
I gotcha!
Father!
Mister!
Go! Go!
-Father! -Mister!
Please take care of Dam...
Mister!
Father!
Mister!
Father!
Mister!
Hey come! Come!
Ddol Bok!
Go! Just leave!
Ddol Bok!
Hurry up!
Ddol Bok!
Mister!
Ddol Bok!
Please take care of Dam,
Mister!
Dam...
Your Majesty!
How can they do this even to you?
Who is it?
Step back! This is the Queen!
What's going on?
There's been a prison break.
What are you doing?
Go after them!
Yes ma'am. Let's go!
Get them! Get them!
Your Highness, it seems to be a prison break!
You must go back.
Your Highness!
You cannot give any misunderstanding to the Great King!
We must go!
Save him. Spare my father's life.
Really. Can you really not do anything My King?
Just stay put.
Don't do anything.
You can't do anything.
Your Highness! Your Highness!
Save him.
What?
That child. Save him!
Now!
Yes.
How dare you to run away, you little brat!
Hurry up and go!
Who are you, Mister?
We must leave immediately.
Your Highness!
We must go back now!
He will be safe.
So...
What are you doing?
Lee Bang Won
It's only a child.
He is a slave of the traitor.
He is still a child. He doesn't know anything.
He is a slave of the traitor.
He even broke out of prison.
He is still a child. Foolish and...
He is a slave of the traitor. Broke out from prison.
He even attacked soldiers.
Bring the child and kill him.
Being the slave of a traitor is enough to have him killed.
He broke free from prison. He even dared to attack my soldier.
I will behead him right here!
Now!
Yes sir!
Don't move a single step!
What?
Bring the child here immediately and kill him!
It's King's command!
Don't impersonate the King!
Former King is not the King!
I! I am the King of Joseon!
Lee Do.
Are you out of your mind?
The night my uncles died.
The night my mother cried all night.
I was 11 years old.
That's the day I started playing Su-Do-Ku.
I started with 3x3.
Everytime you started killing people,
I always ran to that room and played Su-Do-Ku.
So yesterday, I was playing 33x33 Su-Do-Ku.
That's what I was doing.
Because you always run away!
I was trying to understand you, Father!
I tried to understand you!
Min Moo Jin. Min Moo Gu. Min Mu Yool.
The reason you had to kill my uncles.
Young Lee Bang Suk, Lee Bang Bun,
The reason my uncles had to die at such a young age.
The ones you built this country with...
Sim Yo Se, Lee Geun, Jang Ji Hwa, Jung Do Jun.
His son, Jung Yoo, Jung Young, Jung Dam.
Their brother and father, Jung Do Jun!
How dare you even speak of those traitors' names in front of me!
Yes! Yes! Jung Do Jun!
Father, I thought...
that you had a different ideal for Joseon than Jung Do Jun.
I thought you killed him so that you can build this country different from his vision.
But, it wasn't.
The reason you killed him, Father,
was because you had to have power all for yourself.
And then!
You just continued Joseon just the way Jung Do Jun has built!
He didn't do anything!
I killed Jung Mong Ju!
I went to Ming as a hostage instead of him!
I took the Goryeo King out of the throne!
And put Father in throne.
They all wanted to kill Jung Mong Ju.
But they couldn't because of the cause.
They did not dare do the dirty work!
This is Joseon that I built. I did all the dirty work!
This is MY Joseon!
It is only justified that I! have all the power!
This is my Joseon!
That's Lee Bang Won's great cause!
Lee Bang Won's great cause is Joseon's cause!
My Joseon is different!
It will be different!
How will it be different?
What would you do differently?
Tell me.
You said "your Joseon."
What is your Joseon like?
Answer me and give me the plan.
You fool!
What are you all doing!
Bring me that kid's head!
Yes, Your Highness!
Kill me too!
I protected the traitor's slave.
I even spoke of the 3 traitors, and have challenged your authority, Father.
Kill me.
If you want to kill that child...
Just like you killed my uncles, and my comrades,
kill me right here.
How dare you bluff in front of me.
You don't think I can kill you?
If that's your wish...
Mu Hyul!
If anyone dares to harm the King...
You will immediately kill that person!
Do you understand!
Although he is personally my father,
you must carry out your duty for the greater good, greater cause.
Fulfill your duty!
This is the last command of the King,
Lee Do, who couldn't do anything.
Don't make a mistake!
Father, when you gave me Mu Hyul do you remember what you said?
He will, single handedly,
fight off 100 soldiers, the best swordsman of Joseon.
I, warrior, Mu Hyul!
Will carry out your command without a mistake!
Can you handle it?
Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
Why is this locked?
He is still young so he may lack wisdom.
He has plenty of wisdom to convince me.
Your Highness?
Not even the Confucius, had the wisdom to convince me.
Only power can convince me.
Does Lee Do know that?
Yes, Your Majesty! I always thought that His Majesty is too soft.
At the dawn, bring Division Kyum Sa, Division Byul Si, Internal Division,
Bring all the soldiers in the palace to fully armed.
All to House of Kang Moo.
Your Majesty.
That's an order!
Who was it! Who did it? Who was it?
I'm Ddol Bok from Han Jin!
Who was it? Who ordered it?
My father only delivered the letter as he was ordered!
Royal servant or whatever came, and said that it was a secret order or whatever!
As long as we delivered the message, she said that our master and everyone else will live.
Then it came to this!
Who ordered it? Why? Why?
Who was the son of a b****?!
You little brat, who do you think will give such order?
Who was it?
Don't you know? It's the King's Command.
King's? So it was the King!
The bastard who told my father to give the letter was the King or whatever!
It was the King!
I will kill him!
You little mindless brat! How will you ever do that?
Does he have an iron belly?
I will kill him.
The man that killed my father! I will kill him!
His Highness did it for the great cause!
What would you do?
Cause? Tell him to cut the crap!
Great cause!
What's the great cause to kill my father?
My father was a fool. A fool...
Because he was a fool, he went to save me.
Even a fool can protect his son!
I thought the King should be the father of all subjects!
So... Tell him to cut the crap about a greater cause!
Tell him to cut the crap!
Father! Father! Tell him to cut the crap!
Cut the crap!
Your Majesty, we must get out of here.
We must kill him.
I'm aware of your intentions.
But as soon as it's dawn tomorrow morning,
it's hard to tell what will happen from the Great King's house.
So...
Even to punish him for his disrespecful tongue,
he is also the son of slave who delivered the message to Sir Shim Won.
We don't know how he will be bad for us in the future.
-We must ... -He is my subject.
What?
My first subject,
that I saved.
He is right. Saving his people.
It's the King who should save his people.
How can I call myself the King?
Because of me, everyone died.
-Your Majesty. -But I saved that child. I spared his life.
So I was a King for the moment.
He is my first subject, that I saved.
He will be my last subject.
What?
I don't have an answer.
My Joseon that's different from Father's Joseon...
It was all talk.
I couldn't answer his question.
I don't have an answer or a way out.
What are you talking about?
Your Majesty.
That child could be the only person that I could save!
I must save him. No matter what!
Tell him to cut the crap.
Crap... Crap...
Such a suitable word for the situation.
Yes, I should stop this.
And cut the crap.
You don't need to do that.
I don't know what brought you here. But no one cares over here.
Where is this?
-This is Ban Chon. (Village of Sung Kyun slaves) -Ban Chon?
This is Ban Chon?
Yes, this where slaves of Sung Kyun Gwan live.
This is also where the temple is.
Even the army cannot enter this place, without the King's command.
Don't worry.
Good morning.
Good! Did you guys eat?
Yes, ma'am.
Who is it?
He's a new member. Be good to him.
Yes.
Today is the first day for the students that came here for the first time.
Let's go! We're late.
Yes.
Oh, you can go rest.
-Let's go. -Yes.
Open it!
Let me get the heat massage too!
I have this back pain!
It's killing me.
Let's go.
Ok.
Is this the first time seeing charcoal be made?
This is where we make food and things for Sung Kyun Gwan.
We make things such as charcoal.
Come with me. Let's take care of your wounds.
Let's go!
There was a King's order to feed the students of Sung Kyun meat.
This is the only place where you can butcher meat in the capital.
Hello!
This is where the doctor is. Let's go in.
First tell me, why I'm here.
And who sent me.
I was going to tell you at night anyways.
Doctor Jang, are you in?
Welcome!
Fool!
Giving a will to his son, who can't even read.
What do you mean?
No one's here?
What are you talking about?
Division Byul Si, Kyum Sa, and all other soldiers
are gathering at House of Kang Moo at the Great King's command.
Furthermore, all the house servants are gathering at his command.
Can you handle it?
This is the price for last night.
Your Highness!
Your Highness, Division Byul Si, Woo Rim, and Kyum Sa!
The entire army is at House of Kang Moo.
Really?
Good.
But...
His Highness took the Royal Stamp from the House of Kang Suh.
-Royal Stamp? -Yes, Your Highness.
Furthermore, he ordered to bring the brands of military command, and the commanding sword.
What a fool.
What?
It's nothing.
Is Sang Sun there?
What?
Did High-Highness..?
Yes, he told them to bring the Royal Stamp, Commanding Sword, and Brands of Command.
Furthermore, soldiers are gathering at House of Kang Moo at the Great King's command.
How can this happen?
I brought the lunch box as you ordered.
Send this to the House of King.
Should I order the kitchen to fill it up with food?
No.
Send the empty lunchbox.
Your Highness!
You can't do anything.
Yes, you were right.
Jung Ki Joon.
How did you know this back then already?
I can't do anything.
The Queen is entering!
You're here.
I have a few things to ask you.
Go ahead.
Did you have anything to do with the prison break last night?
I can't say that I don't.
You were there?
Yes.
Did you see the Great King last night?
Yes.
Is that why you brought the Royal Sword, Stamp, and the Brand?
I did.
Are you planning to do what I'm thinking and I'm extremely fearful about?
Yes.
I'm going to stop.
Why?
What about "Your Joseon"?
I don't have an answer. Or the plan.
Looks like I was...
only hating my father.
Do you not want to lose it? Your position as the Queen.
Your Highness! This is Bong Bu!
What brings you here?
Your Highness!
I asked what brings you here!
Just now, The Great King's servant,
delivered this to you.
From the Great King?
What is this?
It's...
You cannot!
You sent the empty box to His Highness! It's an order for suicide.
Lee Do is smart. He will take it as that.
Your Highness, this is the famous story of Emperor Mu of Wei sending an empty lunchbox
to Moon Yak, and Moon Yak commiting suicide.
Your Highness, you can't do that!
If he takes it as that and does it so... Then I can't just help it can I?
This ... this is...
Empty lunch box: "Do not eat."
Your Highness!
He can't do this! He can't do this.
The price for last night.
Was it this heavy?
How can Father do this?
What did you do wrong so badly, that he would go this far?
Moon Yak too, didn't do much wrong.
So I guess it suits the circumstances.
Your Highness!
Why did he want us for Confucius's brand?
It's not even the Memorial Day.
If they find out that we're here...
What did you call us for?
If you go to the blacksmith at the North Village, there's a man called Lee Yun Do.
Give this to him.
Yes.
You ready?
Come here!
Let go. Let go of me!
Untie me!
Do you want to die?
Untie me!
Are you deaf?
Untie me!
I said untie me!
Untie me!
We have two things to consider tonight.
Yes, leader. We're at your command.
Gae Chul and Mung Boo!
Twenty years since Joseon was built...
There's been countless numbers of bloodshed.
But Ban Chon always survived.
Do you know how we survived?
Have mercy!
Spare me at least!
It wasn't me. Not me!
During tiger year,
The night the Great King killed Jung Do Jun,
Two slaves from Ban Chon meddled with it.
One servant reported to the Great King where Jung Do Jun was.
The other servant reported to Jung Do Jun that the Great King took the army.
What happened next?
-But... -Shut your mouth! The leader is talking!
Us Ban Chon almost all died because of that.
That day, we survived by sacrificing the two slaves, and offering their bodies.
Hence, us Ban Chon had the rule to never meddle with the King's affairs!
But you all dared...
to take Jung Do Jun's journal...
and tried to start something!
But Jung Do Jun was killed without cause!
Shut up!
Us Ban Chon never judge what's right or wrong.
Gae Chul, Mung Boo.
Kill yourselves.
Spare me!
Move!
You bastard!
Next case!
Let go of me!
You must have been scared from that.
Don't be afraid.
I'm not afraid.
This is Ban Chon. Only the trustworthy may stay with us.
As long as you're here and comply with our rules,
We will protect you until the end.
I don't want to stay if you can't trust me.
Who are you? What brings you here?
I think I told you earlier!
You tell me first! Who brought me here?
And what did he say?
How dare you! Do you know who you're with?
Did you just hit me?
Tell her who you are right now!
I have a pretty bad temper too!
Once you hear my name, you will be surprised. You're also going to regret!
You little!
You tell me first! You brought me here!
You can't ask questions!
Then you shouldn't ask either!
You little. Do you really want to die!
Good, kill me!
Let me advise you. You better kill me.
I'm not feeling that good right now. If I get out of this place alive, I'll kill you all.
So you better kill me now.
You think I can't kill you?
What's your name? And what brings you here?
I won't ask you again.
I won't ask twice either.
Who brought me here?
You little... Do you really want to die?
What's your name?
I thought you weren't going to ask again!
You really want to die?
If you can't kill me, then you're just a fool.
Kill me!
Kill me! Kill me!
He is some kid with anger problems.
Make him calm and as your servant.
I will as you order.
What exactly brings him here?
That's none of your concern.
Forgive me.
I will trust you then.
If you can't control him,
Don't hesitate and kill him.
Let go of him.
Approach!
Your Highness, this is Mu Hyul!
I'm going in.
Your Highness!
Let me dare to ask you. Ask for forgiveness.
Admit your fault to the Great King.
Ask him for forgiveness.
Will that let me live?
I, Mu Hyul, lived by the sword only.
I don't understand politics or anything about power. I just...
Just?
If this were a fight, I think this is the time you take a step backwards.
Step backwards, and wait for the right moment to strike back.
What do I have to strike back?
I don't have an answer.
The only thing I have is...
The useless Su-Do-Ku.
Isn't the shape of this lunchbox exactly like Su-Do-Ku?
Your Highness!
Yes, right.
Why couldn't I think of it!
Yes!
Anyone out there?
What are you doing?
How is it?
For all columns, all rows, and diagonals, when you add them up,
It's one.
Even the 33x33 Su-Do-Ku is simple like this.
Align the 33x33 Su-Do-Ku using this pattern.
Yes, Your Highness.
Make it accurate along this line.
Now put them in.
How did it go?
Your Highness, after calculation the sum of all columns and rows are...
all 17985.
I should have all the power all for myself!
That's my Joseon. Lee Bang Won's Great Cause!
Lee Bang Won's Great Cause is Joseon's Great cause!
Great cause? Tell him to cut the crap.
Crap!
Yes! That's it!
Your Highness, what are you trying to do?
It's not Su-Do-Ku that's the issue here.
The Great King...
I know the meaning of this lunchbox. I also know my plan now.
What?
You guys all clean this up.
Game is over.
Yes.
Also, Mu Hyul.
You go to my house immediately,
Bring me the Royal Stamp, Sword, and the Brand.
What are you going to do with them?
There's no time! Hurry!
Archers ready?!
Ready?
Launch!
On target!
Archers!
Ready?
Launch!
What are you doing? Fire!
But, but...
Ready?
Launch!
