"Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Here is a criminal who has tried to extract the dethroned Prince Gyeongchang and dared to plot treason against the His Majesty, the king." "Make him kneel." "Force the criminal to his knees?" "!" "Episode 8" "That is everything." "This is the sword of Choi Young." "So this is the sword?" "The sword given to Choi Young by the Leader of the Jeogweoldae..." "The poison meant for Choi Young was drunk by this child." "It must have been Choi Young who forced him to drink it." "That is correct." "That is as it should be." "If he is indeed human..." "in order to save himself." "However, is that not so?" "Where is the high physician?" "Sister is watching over her." "That can't be." "That's not how history is written." "As far as I remember, Choi Young is supposed to live to become an old grandfather." "So he can't possibly die so soon." "He won't die." "Do you really... know what the future will bring?" "Because you come from the heavens?" "That's the way it's written in the records." "Then I should also be written about." "In the records of the heavens, my name, Hwa Soo In..." "What is written of me?" "Master of the Fire Energy, Hwa Soo In..." "Or is it... the femme fatale who enflamed the hearts of men?" "In any case, there is definitely something strange." "Reality... is deviating from history as I know it." "Choi Young..." "What's going to happen to him if he's being taken away like this?" "If he is taken away as a conspirator of high treason?" "He will meet his death." "Moreover, it will be by dismemberment." "Before a crowd of many, he will be tied to a post." "They will cut off his flesh as though they were slicing meat." "They will take care to not cut off too much at once." "It must be done slowly, so that he does not die too quickly." "Little by little..." "Such that he will die slowly in the midst of unbearable pain." "Won't there be a trial?" "I can testify as his witness." "That person... may be a murderer who slays people by sword, but he is no traitor." "I was beside him and saw it all." "It is not me you should be telling this." "Go tell my brother." "Your brother is..." "The king may perhaps be unable to save him, but my brother can." "Do your best." "I will be quite saddened by the death of such a handsome man." "Does your brother have any weaknesses?" "Weaknesses?" "If I knew of any weaknesses of his, I would have used it against him already." "There is one thing." "Do not ever appear weak in front of him." "My brother loves nothing more than to step on the weak as though they are insects." "Wudalchi Choi Young..." "Do not place too much blame upon me." "When it is I who walked into the trap with my own two feet, how can I blame others?" "That is true." "Oh, right." "I haven't had the opportunity to tell you about this yet." "The three things that are vital in ensuring that my family lives on the country's wages through the generations..." "Was your purpose in coming here, to tell me them?" "I am also feeling slightly apologetic." "Would you like to hear them?" "I am listening." "The three important things..." "Firstly, determine the one who holds power." "Secondly, do your utmost to get close to him." "Thirdly, and this is especially important..." "I am listening." "Believe that you are right in doing all this." "No matter what..." "The "through the generations" part sounds most tedious." "I would rather not bother." "It is now military guards who are responsible for His Majesty's protection." "Do you see those among the guards who are dressed in appalling uniforms?" "They are the private soldiers of Lord Deokseong." "That mere private soldiers have invaded the palace in the name of the king's protection..." "It is deplorably lamentable." "Therefore, His Majesty is now effectively imprisoned." "That is the only way to see it." "Although it is infuriating, the situation is as such." "The men who attacked us when I left the palace for Gi Cheol's manor that time..." "Were they also Gi Cheol's men?" "The Wudalchi believe that is so." "Gi Cheol regards my life to be worth that of a fly." "Your Highness..." "His Majesty has married a queen who is of less worth than a fly." "How can you speak in such a coarse manner?" "That is the reason His Majesty is now... alone." "Shall I announce you?" "Announce that Your Highness is here to see His Majesty?" "His Majesty... is a fool." "Pardon?" "His Majesty is truly, truly a fool." "Your Majesty, if there is anywhere you wish to go, please notify us in advance." "We will then be able to accompany and guard you." "Stop." "What is that?" "Leave." "Leave." "What are you saying?" "Hurry and leave." " What are you saying?" " Turn back." "Leave." "Leave." " Leave." " Leave." "Dae Man!" "What's going on?" "Dae Man..." "Have you come alone?" "Where is Ju Seok?" "He said he must see the king." "He's gone to the king's quarters." "Why must he see His Majesty?" "What does he intend?" "Cap..." "Captain said..." " that His..." "His..." "His Majesty..." " Aigoo, come on!" "He has a message to be relayed to His Majesty." "Is Captain all right?" "Did he not come with you?" "What has happened?" "!" "Tell us quickly!" "You are driving us mad!" "L" " Let go of me." "His Majesty is completely surrounded by an impenetrable wall of" "Gi Cheol's men and military soldiers." "There is no way to get past them." "Also, the captain..." "What about the captain?" "What is it?" "Rumor has it that our captain has been captured." "Why would our captain be captured?" "They say he was captured on Ganghwa Island and is being escorted back here in chains." "Who is spreading such nonsense?" "!" "That is what everyone is saying!" "That is what the rumors say!" "If the captain has been captured, what will become of us?" "What else can become of us?" "We ought to just storm out of here now." "The gate can be broken open with my one kick alone." "Let's storm out and save Captain, all right?" "Yes, let us do that." "And after we have rescued Captain?" "What then?" "We can just leave this damned country." "We will just be sentenced to death as traitors of this country anyway." "We can go to the border." "We can become bandits there!" "You rascal!" "Our armor and weapons have all been confiscated." "With what will we fight?" "Lord Deokseong taught me the way to save you." "Gi Cheol..." "Did he come here?" "Did he give you that poison?" "He gave it to you?" "That's why he told me to have you take this poison." "However..." "How could I do such a thing?" "So," "In my stead, did you..." "Did you drink it?" "Are you... in great pain?" "It hurts..." "It hurts, Young..." "It hurts so much." "Did you kill him?" "Don't touch me!" "Keep your filthy hands away from me." "Here." "What are you doing?" "Take the flower." "It's a gift." "Lean on my shoulder and rest." "From now on, I'll be on lookout, so get some shuteye." "Smells like blood..." "He is waiting for you." "Just do as I say." "I told you to stay by my side." "That is the only way I can protect you." "Let me drink first." "You must be hungry." "I have prepared a few simple dishes for you." "That's strange." "Last time I was here it was "wench this" and "wench that."" "You were even contemplating where my head should be hung." "There was such a big fuss about it." "So what is this supposed to be?" "Have the dishes been poisoned?" "If I have any intention of killing you, High Physician, it would not be by poison." "What use would it be to me to poison the healer from the heavens?" "Then how do you intend to kill me?" "Please have a seat." "Are you going to kill me if I don't sit down?" "Is it because your door was locked that you are angry?" "Haven't I told you that I need to speak to you?" "All along the road here from Ganghwa Island, I have said over a hundred times that I need to talk to you." "Yet, not only did you completely ignore me, you also locked me in a room all day." "What now?" "What an audacious woman!" "No matter what nerve you have, you're..." "Enough." "I have a favor to ask of you, High Physician." "So you want to ask a favor of me." "So now you're adopting a business face all of a sudden." "I am quite adept at negotiating business deals." "Let's make a deal." "I have a favor to ask of you anyway." "Reveal your card first." "Card?" "Pae. (older Korean word for card)" "Those are mine." "I placed them at the Royal Medical Office." "Why are they here?" "Did you steal them?" "Those..." "Do you recognize them?" "Where did these come from?" "Why are these here?" "They should not be here." "[Made in Korea]" "What are these?" "I'm asking you what these are!" "What has brought the royal physician here?" "It is time for His Majesty to take his medicine." "What medicine?" "I have heard nothing about it." "As the person charged with ensuring His Majesty's safety, how can you be unaware of when His Majesty needs to take medicine and be examined?" "Attendant." "Yes." "Since the new men are so inexperienced that they don't even know what it is they don't know and know even less what it is they should be asking, have His Majesty's daily schedule with regard to the Royal Medical Office" "made into a document and send them a copy." "I understand." "Royal Physician Jang." "Your Majesty, it is time for your medicine." "Yes." "Is it time for that already?" "Your Majesty!" "You are..." "Your Majesty, please allow him to draw nearer to you before asking your questions." "Please lower your voice." "Come closer." "I am Wudalchi Ju Seok." "I heard that all the Wudalchi have been imprisoned." "I violated the Royal Command and went to Ganghwa Island alone to see the captain." "Then you are that wudalchi." "The one who went to communicate with the captain secretly on the commander's orders." "I deserve death for my crime." "Did you meet Choi Young?" "I did." "What was he doing?" "He was bringing Prince Gyeongchang and the high physician into the mountains to hide." "Hiding?" "In the mountains?" "Why?" "He said he had fallen into a trap." "A trap?" "That is what the captain said." "I heard that Choi Young was captured by the royal guards." "I believe it happened after we parted ways." "You only came to me after Choi Young was captured." "I had wanted to come sooner, but the royal guards..." "So you are the countermeasure in case Choi Young is captured?" "Pardon?" "Is that what he said?" "In the event that his conspiracy fails, you are to report to me?" "Tell me that it was all a trap so Choi Young is innocent?" "That is not so." "That is not what the captain means by this." "Then, was it that this incompetent and shameless king would welcome you with open arms at the thought of Choi Young being on his side?" "Is that what he said?" "Your Majesty, I am begging you!" "You have violated a royal command and communicated with a conspirator of a secret treason." "Did you not say it yourself that this is an offence worthy of death?" "Then die." "The captain has requested that I relay a message to Your Majesty." "Once I have relayed that message, I will take my own life." "The captain said this:" ""Wudalchi Captain Choi Young, has not yet completed the mission Your Majesty has assigned."" "Is that all there is to the message?" "The message has been relayed in its entirety." "Then Your Majesty, may your royal body remain in good health always and may you become a great king of Goryeo." "It is not yet time for you to die." "Then these belonged to Hwata?" "From hundreds of years ago?" "Other than these, there are two more sets." "Show them to me." "Did you not bring me here to show them to me?" "Actually, I have laid a wager against His Majesty regarding you." "A wager?" "The essence of the wager is whether I can acquire your heart within seven days." "So what if you win?" "If I win, I will have you, High Physician." "If I lose, you will remain His Majesty's." "Seriously..." "Your heart, High Physician..." "in whom does it lie at this moment?" "My heart is obviously in me." "Will you give it to me?" "I don't want to." "Don't want to?" "To me, Lord Deokseong, you dare say you do not want to..." "You want to know what these are, correct?" "Didn't you say that there are two more sets?" "You also want to know what those are, right?" "Are you saying that you can explain them?" "I don't know what they are, but if they came with these objects here, then of course I know what they are." "They are from my world after all." "Do you want me to tell you?" "If I want to know?" "Wudalchi Choi Young..." "Save him." "You are offering the wrong thing for bargain." "Once you become one of my people, you will naturally explain the uses of Hwata's items to me." "The deal you should be offering is this, High Physician." "That you will give me your heart and become one of my people..." "If that is what you offer, then I may save Choi Young's life." "Is he still sleeping?" "Yes." "All this time?" "Yes." "He has not woken once since yesterday." "He has been sleeping non-stop taking neither food nor drink." "Have you still not found it yet?" "What is it I must find?" "What are you doing?" "When did the ice melt?" "What are you talking about?" "This place, the lake..." "Everything was frozen." "This lake has never once frozen over." "Look." "This place has always been this way." "Has not yet completed the task I have set..." "What is this?" "Something the previous king, Prince Gyeongchang, bestowed upon me." "Escorting Your Majesty from the Yuan nation... was my final mission." "If I safely transport Your Majesty to Gaegyeong," "I may resign from my position as wudalchi the writ states I may leave the palace and live an ordinary life." "If you complete one more mission that I give you," "I shall consider this at that time." "Your Majesty, this is the deposed king, Prince Gyeongchang..." "The former king or the current king..." "Whose orders will you obey?" "Your Majesty!" "It is not the orders of the previous king he is abiding by." "It is mine he is following." "That is it." "That is what it is." "His Majesty the King arrives!" "Please speak." "Your Majesty, after conferring together, the ministers have collectively decided..." "Forgo the prologue and relate the conclusion." "Regarding the treacherous Choi Young, successive dynasties have sentenced severe punishments to traitors." "Furthermore, it was issued with the greatest urgency to prevent the treasonist from destroying evidence and attempting to escape." "To remove the root of the trouble and eliminate the potential for further unrest..." "We shall do it." "Your Majesty." "A severe punishment with the greatest urgency..." "The chingook must be performed." "[chingook: king personally questions the felon]" "The chingook?" "Your Majesty, that is rather..." "[chingook: king personally questions the felon]" "Why?" "Am I so incompetent that I am incapable of performing the chingook?" "Of course not, Your Majesty." "I worry that Your Majesty have to deal with such a cruel and vicious criminal." "Are you saying that I am no match for such a cruel and vicious prisoner?" "Your Majesty, you must not do such a thing." "Your Majesty." "All those with connections to the Wudalchi are ready to be interrogated as we speak." "If Your Majesty would just give the order..." "I am giving you an order now!" "I will personally question the traitor Choi Young." "Your Majesty." "Where are you going, Your Majesty?" "Very good." "You will lead me to where the traitor Choi Young is." "Your Majesty!" "In front of my entire court and subjects, are you intending to obstruct my path?" "Your subject dare not." "Let us be off to perform the chingook." "Your Majesty..." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "The family has its rules, the country has its laws, Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" "Before the chingook is performed, as per proper protocol, the stage for interrogation must first be prepared!" "Your Majesty, how can you come down to such a terrible place?" "Your Majesty!" "You mustn't do this, Your Majesty!" "Open the door." "This cannot be allowed." "How can you make contact with such a cruel and vicious criminal, Your Majesty?" "!" "Is he not secured in chains?" "What manner of substandard chains are you using that has him so worried?" "Substandard chains, Your Majesty?" "Lord Deokseong has given express orders regarding his confinement." "Due to the traitor Choi Young's advanced inner energy force, the typical chains were deemed inadequate." "Therefore, he is secured with chains made from a special alloy." "A special alloy, is it?" "Is it dependable?" "Yes." "This is it." "Please take a look at it." "It was made by the finest blacksmith in the city." "It allegedly has twelve times the strength of typical chain." "It is unique indeed." "That it is, Your Majesty." "A chain such as this..." "Then at this moment, is it not safe to open the door to the cell?" "Pardon?" "Yes." "Your Majesty..." "Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" " Your Majesty!" "Your Majesty!" " Your Majesty!" "Silence!" "I will personally question the prisoner now." "You will all be silent." "You mustn't, Your Majesty!" "It's too dangerous!" "How can you face that villainous bastard..." " Your Majesty!" " Please!" "The mission I assigned you... you have not yet completed it, you say?" "I have not yet completed it." "Then you mean to say, you are still carrying out the mission I have given you?" "That is correct." "I gave you two tasks." "Go find the evidence." "The ministers who were poisoned..." "Who is responsible, the reason they did it, go find the convicting evidence." "The evidence behind the poisoning has already been found." "Then the second..." "Tell me whom it is I need to fight against and why we must fight." "This is the duty I, as your present king, am commanding you to fulfill." "From the evidence I have found, you should already know who your enemy is." "However, the reason why Your Majesty must fight, that I have not yet uncovered." "Can you hear?" "Can you hear what His Majesty is saying?" "Can you hear what that vile Choi Young is saying?" "Please be quiet." "I know why I must fight." "Is that so?" "I truly understand why I must fight." "All you need to do now, is tell me how I must retaliate." "I am merely a criminal imprisoned for the crime of high treason." "Were you thinking of dying as a traitor?" "Is that what you honestly want?" "Do you truly wish to end your life this way?" "Teach me." "Teach me how I must retaliate in order to remove you from danger." "I sent the high physician to Lord Deokseong, because I knew she would be safest there." "Because retaining her by my side would only have her more endangered..." "I am without strength." "I am at my wits' end." "Will she... truly be safe there?" "There is no way for me to confirm that." "I have an urgent matter to report to Lord Deokseong." "Lord Deokseong has ordered that he is not to be disturbed under any circumstances." "But..." "This here is a strong alcohol?" "It is." "I use it as fuel for my fire attacks." "And this is a weak liquor?" "It is meant for drinking." "Okay!" "Then..." "I wanted to show you the whirlpool, but since these are not glass cups, I can't really show it to you properly." "Here." "Even though it's slightly lacking, you can all experience the bomb shot I've made." "Here." "According to the drinking rules, the first cup must be drunk." "I'll start." "Now you, Unni." "Ahjussi." "No, Lord." "Please." "Didn't you say that you'll give your heart?" "Why are you giving me alcohol instead?" "You keep mentioning that, but a person's heart isn't some designer handbag." "It can't be bought with money." "Even if you forcibly acquire it, it will not truly be yours, either." "Isn't that right?" "Cheers!" "What is this?" "Are you not in fact a healer but a drunkard instead?" "Lord, do you not want my heart?" "How can you not drink the wine I am pouring for you?" "Okay." "Now, I will award you with two more cups." "Whether it is by the king of a nation or a healer who has descended from the heavens," "I am not one to tolerate being played." "In all my life, I have never once been made a fool of." "The same goes for me." "I'm not someone who would put forth my heart to joke around with someone." "If you want my heart, then I'll have to see some effort on your part." "Is that right?" "Then is drinking your definition of putting forth effort?" "Only those of little intelligence or skill would require others to repeat themselves twice." "Let me explain this to you one last time." "If you want to acquire my heart, you'll have to drink with me at least once a week." "As glasses are shared, the relationship between two people develops further." "Didn't you know?" "The wrist grabbing comes much later." "Cheers." "What is that?" "What?" "Look." "Is that blood?" "He has slit his wrists." "He must have slit his wrists." "He cannot die!" "If he dies, we're dead!" " He doesn't seem to be breathing." " He cannot die." "Go look." "It's not supposed to be like this." "To acquire the heart of a woman of the heavens, must one d..." " Date." " Yes, that is what you said." "Dates are meant to be an activity for two people!" "You can't have an entourage of people trailing you from behind!" "You cannot?" "With so many eyes on us, how can we proceed to the next base?" "That doesn't mean that I will move to the next base." "That's just the way the rules are." "You said you wanted to explore the markets of Gaegyeong, did you not?" "Of course!" "That's definitely where any sightseeing should start." "Then we shall take a detour to the market streets." "Where there is a river and flowers." "River..." "Flowers..." "Sounds great!" "There is no king?" "There isn't." "Then who rules the people?" "The president." "What type of king is that?" "It's different from a king." "With kings... when the father is king, the sons are guaranteed to be kings." "But a president is selected by the citizens through an election." "That is, among themselves, the people select the person they like most." "How do the people know?" "How do they know who is king material?" "That's why the candidates hold campaigns before the election." ""I am this kind of person." "If I am selected for president," "I will put this policy into effect."" "In this way, they advertise themselves and their political platform." "Why are you laughing?" "Are you the type of person who laughs when they're drunk?" "Consider tens of hundreds of thousands of people, all proclaiming to be most fit for kingship." "Is that not laughable?" "Do you like that flower?" "It is merely a flower I recognize." "My Lord." "Whilst the king was entering the prison... what were the soldiers we had planted within the palace doing?" "We could not restrain him." "It happened so suddenly, as though it was planned in advance." "And the words they exchanged?" "I was unable to hear." "What could the two of them possibly do?" "Before the high physician runs too far, should we not...?" "Recapture her." "Let go!" "I just wanted to see how far I could get, Lord." "I'm sorry!" "What are you looking for?" "Um, nothing." "Was someone here?" "Choi Young, that bastard, has escaped from his cell." "He escaped after knocking all the guards unconscious." "How many soldiers can we mobilize at this moment?" "Excluding the ones who have been sent to the palace and out on patrol..." "Summon them immediately!" "Yes, I understand." "But, where do you wish to send them?" "If I were him, I would first make contact with my subordinates." "The Wudalchi barracks." "I am conducting a search." "During that time, you are all not to move." "Datura flower, vinegar, and frankincense..." "The recipe is a secret." "Its effect is thus." "Captain." "Stand guard outside." "Yes, Captain." "Your Majesty." "Wudalchi Choi Young greets Your Majesty." "How incredulous!" "There is seemingly nowhere a treasonous criminal cannot go." "I apologize for my intrusion." "I am here both to ask a question and to answer a question." "There is neither any sign of Choi Young nor any cause for suspicion." "It is the king." "Pardon?" "That bastard has gone to see the king." "If I may be so bold as to ask..." "Your Majesty, you said you already know why it is you must fight." "Why must you fight?" "To become a king..." "Are you not already the king?" "Choi Young, even you do not consider me king." "I will be disheartened if you speak such empty words." "You asked me how you should retaliate." "Yes, I did." "I will answer you now." "A king... is not someone who should take up arms." "What you mean is..." "A king is someone who possesses." "The only distinction is between the king who commands few and the king who commands tens of thousands." "First, begin by possessing me." "Then, leave the fighting to me." "Your Majesty!" "Lord Deokseong..." "You've come only now?" "I heard the guards outside my door were placed by you, Lord Deokseong." "Is that true?" "I performed a test." "See for yourself." "How can they protect me in such a state?" "Have them replaced." "I will see to that." "However..." "Was it Choi Young who saw to their demise?" "Choi Young who?" "Do you mean the person who is currently imprisoned?" "I seem to remember it as being your brother who is watching over him." "Could there have been..." "some sort of incident?" "Wudalchi Choi Young." "Lord Deokseong." "Why be like this?" "A person as clever as you should have known this long ago." "This was all done for the sake of drawing you to my side." "And that is because I cherish your value." "By "all this," do you mean framing me for high treason, disarming and apprehending my brothers-in-arms," "and poisoning Prince Gyeongchang?" "It was because I knew not which king had your support." "So I was forcing you to choose..." "Oh right, there is something I wanted to ask you." "Was it you who ultimately fed Prince Gyeongchang the poison?" "I had initially intended to release you tomorrow." "By next month, the military would have been yours to command." "If only you had waited patiently." "Why did you make so reckless a move, going off in search of a mere woman and that young king?" "My head will ache another few days yet." "The process has become ever more complicated." "The high physician has also earnestly entreated me." "Pleaded for your imminent release..." "So stop with your game of push and pull now." "Goodbye." "Lord." "People often say this." ""I am living."" "But actually, that is not so." "It is "I am dying."" "Until the day of one's death, one is dying day by day." "That is why, I had intended to pass through to the netherworld in peace and quiet." "Yet, you have constantly provoked me who had been obedient in my place." "Telling me to stop dreaming, to wake up..." "To try to live on." "His Majesty the King, arrives." "I have come here so late in the night, to request your aid." "From now on, I wish to be more courageous." "Because there is someone I wish to earn." "In order to earn that person, I must first show him my courage." "Only with your assistance, as the queen, can that courage be brought forth." "Will you help me?" "Although you think me cold-hearted, ridiculous, and despicable," "I now want to try something of a frontal offensive." "Will you help me?" "His Majesty the King arrives." "Please be seated." "I have a few things to inform all the ministers present here today." "You will all listen well and pay close attention." "Then you will go to the regions you are responsible for and relate all that you have heard and witnessed to those in your charge." "Firstly..." "Her Highness the Queen arrives." "The historians will take record." "The king and queen of Goryeo have shed the Yuan apparel and donned the royal attire of Goryeo." "The king wears the robes of the yellow dragon, and the Ik Seon Gwan (crown)." "Your Majesty!" "Royal Counselor Ja Woon requests the privilege to speak." "I have not finished speaking!" "The ministers will be silent." "Secondly, for the past decade, kept far from my homeland, I have known nothing of Goryeo's day-to-day affairs, and have had others secretly investigate and deal with issues on my behalf." "To those who have carried out that mission, I shall reward them accordingly." "Permit them to enter."
