"You!" "(impolite)" "What are you up to?" "Daylight is far off." "Can't we talk patiently?" "Or...will you forgo the antidote and run to your King?" "Ji Ho!" "Yes!" "Go to the palace and tell the Wudalchi." ""Escort the King and Queen safely out of the palace"." "They need to escape?" ""Don't defend or attack." "Escape!"" ""Leave temporarily"." "I understand." "Now I know you're a bastard!" "I will give the third antidote under this condition." "Address a royal with decorum." "You!" "All you have is a sly tongue with no brain to guide it!" "You should've stuck to the Court Prince." "Don't worry." "I can always regain his trust." "I am now... going to the palace." "What about your woman?" "She'll die if you miss the timing." "Shi Wool." "Yes." "Get the antidote straight to High Doctor." "He will hand it to you." "I will?" "Why?" "Because if High Doctor dies, you have no card left whether you deal with me or the Court Prince." "I told you." "I know what a bastard you are." "You haven't the guts to risk your own life." "Shi Wool." "Yes." "The antidote..." "Kill him if he won't give it up." "So many have come." "Let them come!" "Don't let them pass, right?" "It's blocked all the way to Gonseongjeon." "There's no way out!" "The Queen?" "Is there any way to learn how the Queen is?" "Your Majesty." "Royal troops revolted and Wudalchi are less than 70!" "So let's escape first." "Leave ahead of us." "We will escort you to the Royal library." "Your Majesty!" "Captain gave an order!" "Retreat!" "Hear that?" "Yes, I did." "Then we stop." "Enough." "Leave now." "We'll head to the West Gate." "Abandon the palace?" "Leave the Queen and go?" "Your Majesty." "It's Captain's signal." "Escape and survive to retaliate!" "Her Highness has Mugakshi." "Court Lady Choi may have found a safe exit." "Queen's quarters" "Your Highness!" "This way!" "Your Highness!" "I'll open up the way." "His Majesty?" "I couldn't find him." "He must've got out." "Pardon me." "Let's go!" "Escaped?" "!" "How?" "!" "So many Imperial troops are stationed here!" "Their sole purpose was to guard His Majesty to stop him leaving!" "To keep him here!" "Look here, Royal Advisor!" "You called every statesman and detained us all night!" "What do you think you're doing?" "Well, that's to say..." "Where is His Majesty?" "Didn't you say His Majesty called an urgent meeting?" "Last night, 1500 Royal troops led an assault against Lord Dukseong's house." "We're awaiting the results of the attack." "It's a disaster." "Lord Dukseong's private army surrounds the palace now." "What?" "Where is our Royal army?" "They haven't returned from the Court Prince's manor." "That's not possible." "His men can't come into the palace." "Didn't I say that couldn't happen?" "Prince Deokheung said..." "Where is His Majesty?" "Prince Deokheung!" "Where is His Majesty?" "He's not in the palace." "How could you do this?" "How'd this happen?" "!" "Pardon?" "The Royal Advisor came to me and told me," ""This Royal Seal incident shows our King isn't in his right mind."" "You said that, right?" "I did?" "Ah, yes." "I said that." "However..." "You said replacing the Yuan seal with a new seal would be probable cause for Yuan to invade." "Over this, innocent citizens will be afflicted by war." "That's right." "Exactly right." "Therefore... before this nation is caught in greater peril, we must attack Gi Chul and replace the king not in his right mind." "Yes." "What?" "Change the King?" "Didn't you say you wanted to enthrone me?" "Well, that..." "You claimed it's for the sake of Goryeo." "Of course." "Everything I said and did is for Goryeo." "You thought wrongly." "In Gaekyeong, you pitted citizens against each other in a fight to death." "Is that for Goryeo's welfare?" "Deokheung, Your Highness?" "So I replied." "Even if the King is amiss, the price of revolt against him is one's life..." "Against my nephew..." "For the crime of contemning our King..." "Court Prince Dukseong has surrounded the palace." "Do you have a counterplan?" "Then I will use this corpse to mollify Lord Dukseong's anger." "Is His Majesty truly not in the palace?" "He isn't here." "No matter how afraid he is, if the King abandons his palace, what is he intending?" "Yes, we understand!" "He probably couldn't get out of Gaekyeong." "His Majesty will seek us." "Mark alleys, look for their marks." " Y..yes." " Yes, Sir." " Jeong Shik." " Yes." " Rally the Wudalchi." " Yes!" "Deok Man." "Yes!" "Can you move?" "Just a bit sore." "Then why take a mere arrow?" "Suribang, follow the statesmen when they exit the palace." "I need to find out their reactions." "Sorry." "Please continue." "What are you doing?" "Lie down." "My back aches." "I'm not like some guy who sleeps forever." "Let me check the injured." "Deok Man, you first." "Hey!" "Continue your meeting." "I won't interrupt." "Let me look." "What made this wound?" "." "An arrow." "." "You pulled it straight out?" "." "Yes." "." "Oh, it tore the flesh." "." "Nerves could've been injured." "." "I'll suture and dress it." "." "Alright." "." "Gi Chul's private soldiers ." "surround the palace round the clock." "Did Deokheung enter the palace?" "He did." "He commands the Royal troops?" "." "Deokheung recalled them from Gi Chul's house." "." "Those two must be negotiating." "." "You must've had a busy night." "." "I have done nothing." "So then.." "the one who mobilized the Army to attack my home was Royal Advisor Jo Il Shin?" "He confessed." "My brother is dead!" "I didn't know." "My belongings also vanished." "I believe the Royal Army confiscated some items." "I will sort it out." "Here, have a seat." "Aren't you afraid of becoming my enemy?" ""Enemy"?" "Isn't this what we agreed on?" "I will be King." "You will have High Doctor." "Then, did you bring High Doctor?" "I will deliver her in 3 days." "Trust my word." "Three days." "In return, make sure the King who fled can never return." "That is my condition." "The Queen already left." "We must follow without delay." "Will you be okay to walk far?" "How far?" "We must move in secret, so one day and night." "Come and sit a while." "I won't ask to lean on you." "Come here." "Did you ask about it?" "About what?" "My book." "Is there another section?" "Where are you going?" "I forgot to ask." "I'll go now." "Wait." "Listen and don't get angry." "I think I have to meet the Court Prince." " What?" " Or the King's uncle." "Are you sane?" "He poisoned you." "I must know if the book has a back section." "If it truly exists, then..." "I think it's a letter I wrote to myself." "What are you saying?" "I don't know either but my mind's in turmoil." "Until I know it's nothing, just a pointless dream," "I can't be at ease." "Do you have anything else to say...to me?" "Nightmares plague your sleep." "The last few nights, you woke up in tears." "Tell me what you dreamed." "I don't want to." "We'll go after the noon meal." "Without my approval, you'll go in secret, won't you?" "Don't take one step without my permission." "Prince of the Court won't hurt me." "Absolutely not!" "Then..." "I'll meet Deokheung for the antidote and..." "Absolutely not." "No possibility?" "None at all." "Heaven has a thing called a movie." "In it are all sorts of tricks and schemes." "There's one I can use." "We will proceed like this." "First, gather our remaining forces." "In the middle of that, locate His Majesty." "In the meantime, I'll get the rest of the antidote." "Before all that, we find out who fed Deokheung information." "Then we remove everything from him, one by one." "The first thing to remove is his backing by the Court Prince." "What are you doing?" "Click." "I left marks along the road as far as NamGyeong." "We should make contact today." "Any other news?" "What of the Queen and Captain?" "There's still no word, Your Majesty." "They probably won't move before sundown." "Every crossing is guarded by Lord Dukseong's soldiers." " How strange." " Pardon?" "It's really strange." "Aren't I King of Goryeo?" "Your Majesty?" "Yet if I go on the streets now and claim I am the King, nobody will believe me." "Nobody will recognize me." "Even if Lord Dukseong's soldiers run to tie me up and say I deserve death for 'impersonating the King', who would recognize me and believe I'm truly King?" "Do Chi." "Yes, Your Majesty." "Now I left the palace, I have nothing to prove my identity." "Perhaps the palace was king, not I." "We brought what you requested." "The Court Ministers await you, Your Highness." "They insist on seeing you." "I pray this reaches you." "Earnestness creates a connection of fate." "Only memories make that moment." "I heard you're waiting for me." "The one we're waiting for is His Majesty." "The coup ended." "Lord Dukseong's soldiers have withdrawn." "Peace is restored in the palace." "Why hasn't the King returned?" "I can't say." "Maybe the young King was very shocked." "His once loyal subject led a rebellion against him." "Then swords were pointed at the King himself." "Naturally he will be fearful." "Let me present His Majesty's decree." "I obtained this from the King." "He expresses regret about the incident that occurred and bid me give this decree to Prince Deokheung." "The King says I am to be Regent in his absence." "Let the statesmen confirm its validity." "As you all can see, this is a Royal Order issued with the King's Seal." "Then I will ask you this." "His Majesty made a distinct declaration." "He will not use this Yuan 'Son-in-law seal' again." "Yet this decree has that very same seal." "Perhaps he changed his mind after the trauma." "The important point is that only the king can possess this seal." "Isn't that so?" "Very well." "By royal decree, I will temporarily rule." "Is the interim ruler permitted to sit on this throne?" "Royal family members have laws." "First, Lord Dukseong suffered great losses in the rebellion." "Surely he deserves compensation for that loss." "What do you wish?" "It's Dae Man." "Dae Man lured the enemy away." "Captain!" "I came to escort you." "I prepared lodgings in Hyeongocheon." "The Queen is already there." "Is the Queen alright?" "I hear she's even happy without a heavy hairpiece." "On your way, Wudalchi and Suribang will protect you, nearby or far." "What about you?" "I will follow soon after some matters in Gaekyeong." "I won't leave you long outside the palace, so please bear it." "I'm sincerely telling you we needn't rush back." "If I wasn't outside, I couldn't talk with a criminal like you." "The Royal Seal put you in a difficult position." "It's beyond difficult." "I was chased out of the palace." "I'm sorry." "Is High Doctor alright?" "She will be fine." "We know the poison's nature." "This is the poison used on High Doctor." "The higher the dose, the faster it spreads." "What about its antidote?" "We need more time." "We must find rare herbs and verify an antidote." "Be careful." "It has no colour or scent." "It's perilous." "Can poisoning occur by inhaling?" "It must be ingested." "The poison is activated by stomach fluids." "Please trust me once." "I can do this." "The king's entourage is a short way ahead." "You will travel with them." "What about you?" "I must find the antidote among other tasks." "That's you." "Trust no-one, do everything yourself." "You aren't well." "What can you do?" "Ill or not, it's my body." "Why should you always get my antidote?" "It's my fault you got poisoned." "Of course it's not." "He wanted to harm me, not you." "Why do you always say it's your fault?" "What then?" "What do you want to do?" "I want to do something too." "So don't stop me all the time." "Listen to me a bit." "Go ahead." "Ahead to where?" "Anywhere." "Go!" "Let's go." "So I'm saying..." "What is it?" "What's wrong?" "You feel unwell?" "I'm fine." "The first antidote day, I'm fine." "The second day... dizzy all the time." "Tomorrow..." "I'll be more dizzy." "How can you smile..." "when you might die soon?" "Stop that." "Stop what?" "Being angry and picking on me." "If I'm gone, what will you do if you can't get angry at me?" "If it becomes a habit, you will feel empty later." "Stand up." "Rest a while." "It's a bit chilly." "You're so macho." "Pardon?" "If you go to Heaven with that personality, you'll be a single old man." "I won't go." "Then will you go to the Court Prince's house?" "You're noisy." "Do you know what?" "I don't want to know." "Now you answer whatever I ask." "You used to ignore half my questions." "You always talked a lot and used Heaven words." "I've done this a few times." "Done what?" "Leaning on you." "Is that my habit now?" "So comfortable." "If I fall asleep, carry me." "If I carry you, I can't hold my sword." "Even for a moment, don't lose focus." "The enemy knows every corner of this palace." "Don't give him a chance." "Leave the room." "High Doctor!" "It's been a while." "Do you know how long I searched for you?" "I know." "I overturned the nation." "And you came yourself?" "I want a "deal"." ""Deal"?" "I know when Heaven's door opens." "You worked it out?" "Do you want to go with me to Heaven?" "What can I do for you?" "First, a question." "Please ask." "My book...you showed it to me..." "Does it have a back section?" "It does." "Can I see it?" "It was snatched away." "You don't have it?" "It was taken by Deokheung who's now in the palace." "Do you require it?" "Without it, you can't go to Heaven?" "The front part is about when we can go." "I think the back part is how to go." "I understand." "I will retrieve it." "What's the third relic?" "That is ... well..." "a thing I can't explain." "Was it also taken away?" "I will recover them both." "But...?" "Why?" "Why're you doing this for me?" "High Doctor's life is in peril." "How?" "I must save her." "Why else would I be here?" "Is paralysis returning?" "Your Majesty, you arrived." "You endured a lot." "Where is she?" "This way, please." "I will go myself." "The Queen is happy here." "Despite the humble surroundings, she..." "So this is what it's like." "Pardon?" "A view of a husband's entire world." "Your Majesty." "What were you doing?" "Waiting for you." "I must keep you waiting more often." "Is the Commander present?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "How many Wudalchi are here?" "About 50 Wudalchi reported in." "I heard 50 Wudalchi can match 500 royal troops." "True?" "If we compare in theory, it's true." "Do Chi." "Yes, Your Majesty." "I will work on state affairs here for now." "Pardon?" "Spread the news the King is residing here temporarily." "Anyone with grievances to air may bring them here." "Many people are still trying to harm Your Majesty." "Don't you understand?" "If I conceal myself, they can attack me at will." "If I reveal my presence, they won't attack brazenly." "Besides, aren't I still King?" "I will see to it." "Will you show me around?" "Our quarters are at the back." "Do you wish to see them?" "Have you seen Captain yet?" "I have." "How is High Doctor?" "The Wudalchi guys said those two stayed in Gaekyeong." "They should be doing fine, the two of them together..." "Well... yes...." "Who has come?" "With whom?" "Court Prince Dukseong." "Wanted criminal, Choi Young." "And High Doctor." "See here." "You poisoned me!" "Look at that smiling murderer!" "Will you handle this?" "I must first confirm something." "Did you poison my High Doctor?" "I told you." "See for yourself." "Hasn't she come in three days?" "Why are you so critical?" "Your Highness." "Let's settle this agreeably." "Hand over High Doctor's antidote and my relics." "If I hand you all my cards, that man could kill me here." "That's impossible." "How'd he dare harm a royal?" "Hold this." "How dare you in this place?" "!" "Begone with you all!" "You idle cretins!" "I can't see through you!" "Continue." "Didn't you give High Doctor seokwan poison?" "This is the royal palace, you crazy bastard!" "I couldn't get the antidote but I got the same poison." "Now hand over that bloody antidote now." "Didn't he get too much?" "I don't know." "I never used poison before." "Gi Chul, how can you hold hands with this guy?" "It was expedience." "Now get yourself and High Doctor some antidote." "Let's conclude things." "Come with me, High Doctor." "What!" "?" "I have to take her to where the antidote is and treat her myself." "Only us two." "Prince of the Court, hold him down." "I will come back." "If that guy dies, High Doctor is finished." "If you go, that guy won't hand it over." "Give me the antidote." "You're Heaven's doctor." "You can't even treat poison?" "Give it to me like you said." "I thought you'd survive as High Doctor." "I didn't intend to harm you." "You have no antidote?" "I knew when your lover came with a murderous face." "What High Doctor?" "You're a fake." "So you just plan to die?" "You and I are the same breed." "People with nothing, defrauding others to survive." "You will die soon." "Just take the antidote." "Why talk so much?" "In this digusting world, is life a joke?" "Here...the antidote." "It's different from what I took." "The one you took was fake." "But every four days..." "That poison is like that." "Its symptoms come and go." "This is the true antidote." "Prince of the Court believes in Heaven's door." "If you and I join hands, we can trap him and Goryeo." "High Doctor... won't you be on my side?" "How about it?" "Do you have the rest of that book?" "I do." "Give it to me." "That comes first." "Fine." "One more thing." "That guy Choi Young...don't dare touch him or everything ends." "The antidote?" "So now..." "I am cured." "Didn't you want High Doctor?" "With that guy around, it will be difficult." "Best rice soup in all Goryeo!" "Get it while it's hot!" "Two coins only!" "Please wait a bit." "Only two cents." "It's tasty, isn't it?" "Take care, customer." "Best rice soup, two cents!" "Excuse me." "Is something happening here?" "You can't have heard about the King." "The King?" "In there is a King who listens to grievances." "He listens to anything even if we curse him." "Could it be the King himself?" "How'd he be the real King?" "Most people just go there to rant." "There's no charge so people go for fun!" "Haven't we met?" "This child will be 13 in 2 years time." "You can see she's very pretty." "Please tell me what to do?" "The child is pretty but you ask what to do?" "Aigoo!" "He knows nothing as King." "A pretty 13 year old will be taken as a tribute to Yuan." "That's why I'm asking, King." "Should I marry her off early or cut her hair and make her a nun?" "Which is better?" "I came here hoping you can see her future." "What happens to girls taken as Yuan tributes?" "Well, noble girls become concubines of Yuan nobles and lack for nothing but commoners' daughters are really pitiful." "They become slaves or soldiers' wives." "While you tell her fortune, can you draw her a talisman?" "Something to make her unnoticeable or her mouth and eyes crooked?" "Child." "Lift your head." "Now I will draw your pretty face." "." "If anyone says your features are crooked, ." "just show them this." "." "What kind of King draws?" "." "It's not a good sight." "." "High Doctor too... if only she could stay with the King and Queen." "Did you two maybe fight?" "." "Your mouth." "." "Yes." "." "You will stay behind?" "." "In the Royal Medical Office?" "." "Yes." "." "But it took effort to get you out..." "." "I told you before." "." ""Operation Mata Hari"." "." "So your so-called plan ." "is to jump back in the trap?" "." "No." "." ""Mata Hari" uses her beauty to find out enemy information." "She doesn't think." "That woman has no heart." "Is it alright for you to openly consort with a wanted criminal?" "We well know you were falsely charged." "Taking the King and Queen safely out of the palace in the revolt was all Wudalchi work, I heard." "We know His Majesty's current location and actions." "Is that so?" "His Majesty made a new palace so we want to visit him." "And then?" "We created a Goryeo Seal." "From our people, not Yuan." "We will present it to the king." "He will be delighted." "Then..." "We haven't finished." "You know I'm not Wudalchi now." "I must detour on sighting official uniforms." "Discussing national affairs with me is improper so..." "The Royal Seal we made... our plan to give it to the King..." "if any word leaks... our lives are in danger." "Until we present the Seal to the King, we hope you protect us." "You chose this King." "He needs this Seal." "We leave in the morning." "Will you accompany us?" "He said it will be brought here?" "Deokheung uses poison." "No person of integrity uses poison." "I know." "That guy..." "scoundrel...villain..." "This is half the remainder." "Half?" "Not all of it?" "Please let this reach you." "Earnestness creates a connection of fate." "Only memories can make that moment happen." "This..." "looks like my writing." "But I don't remember writing it." "It can't be." "No memories come up?" "This book... these contents..." "I've never seen them before." "All the letters are blurred so I can't read them well but..." ""Hopefully these contents"..." ""with that person...you are with"..." "I hope you are reading this with that person and that it's not too late." "You will escort four people at daybreak tomorrow." "Get a carriage ready." "Yes." "Dae Man." "Yes, Captain." "Go to Hyeongocheon." "Tell the Commander to send a dozen Wudalchi to meet us at Deojin Bridge." "Yes, I'll go now!" "A smaller escort is less conspicuous." "The first leg of the journey..." "I'll do it myself." "Understood." "I don't know what it means." "Just who wrote this?" "If I wrote it, why don't I know?" "And... why's this so worn?" "Who could it be?" "Why "Eun Soo-ya*"?" "(*informal)" "Why'd they call me that?" "Is it really me?" "Why's there Hangul in this book in Goryeo?" "And...who's "that person"?" "I should say this before I get drunk..." "For me... there's never been a "that person"." "Drink slowly." "Although I met a few men and tried hard to like them, my heart never opened." "Even if I drew close to someone, my feelings would stop... and get cold again." "I'd feel annoyed..." "and close my heart again." "I sealed away my feelings." ""This person isn't the one." "This isn't it."" "Even after meeting Choi Young, I did that." "I drew a line to stop him coming close but... it wasn't because I might leave, Doctor Jang." "Yes." "It's just...my heart wasn't ready." "When I'm with him," "I grow used to him and miss him crazily." "That's how it should feel, but how can he be "that person"?" "Yet... he's always there looking at me." "If I call out, he always comes to my side." "I'm drunk." "I don't know who you are or why you named me." "And I don't know who "that person" really is!" "I should sleep." "That day you will go somewhere far." "That night someone will look for you." "That person will ask a favour." "Don't refuse that person's request." "You must not." "That day you have to return." "Only that way can that person live." "Also that morning that child will shatter a medicine jar." "And what else happened that day?" "Right." "I remember the chrysanthemums by the window." "That day you must not allow that person to leave because what awaits him is a trap." "So, Eun Soo ya, please hold onto that person."
