"Becauseofyou,everyonewill bekilled." "You had that dream again." "You made that again to hold onto while sleeping!" "That is why you can't have a sound sleep." "But why did you go to the Joojasoh (printing office)?" "Did you go there knowing Scholar Yoon Pil was there?" "You weren't aware !" "Scholar Yoon Pil's body was discovered at the Joojasoh." "I said NO!" "She doesn't feel good yet." "Although she doesn't feel well, she can talk right?" "She cannot... talk." "Is she so sick that she can't even talk?" "It is not because she is sick, but she cannot speak." "Therefore, you should come back later!" "Your voice sounds as solemn as Her Highness." "Then, please verify it for me!" "Hey, ask So Yi to come out!" "What does she do every night to cause such troubles?" "You are so flippant!" "Flippant?" "Your Majesty, because of the incident last night..." "Died again..." "Again..." "Your Majesty!" "I'm sorry but you have to go to the private quarters." "I should go..." "I should go..." "His Majesty..." "Your Majesty !" "Last night, there was an incident..." "Last night, two problems were revealed." "Fire of Joojasoh was not extinguished early enough..." "How can it take 15 minutes to extinguish the fire?" "tsk.. tsk." "What about Eujeongbu?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "Check for problems within the fire department and increase the staff." "I will follow your order." "The other thing is that there was an intruder in the court." "This cannot happen!" "I will ask for its accountability." "Right-State Minister." "Yes, Your Majesty." "To take responsibility for this incident, ask the chief of Gyumsabok to report directly to me." "Yes." "But Your Majesty." "this matter is not to be left solely to the Gyumsabok (palace guard)." "Scholars of Jiphyunjeon died in the court." "Now, Eugeumbu (Royal Investigation Bureau) should take over the case." "This is what I mean..." "What we have to discuss now... is the death of Yoon Pil." "As for Joojasoh, we can rebuild it." "The intruder, like I said, should be found and make sure something like this is never repeated." "However, we cannot undo the death of Yoon Pil." "I will make sure to capture the attacker, console the soul of Yoon Pil and display the strictness of the law." "Rites Minister, make sure Yoon Pil's funeral is held without any flaw." "Do you understand?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "I heard that you are a mute." "I am going to ask about what happened last night." "I will let you go if you fully cooperate with me." "Why did you go to Joojasoh at that hour?" "Why do you ask me that kind of question?" "As a Gyumsabok, you are supposed to ask me about the details and the circumstances of the incident." "Why did Prince Gwang Pyeong's court lady go to the printing office?" "Do you suspect me?" "Tell me the reason." "The reason I went there was for an errand for Prince Gwang Pyeong." "And what it was... that can't be asked by a mere Gyumsabok." "Alright, let me rephrase the question." "Last night, what I saw in Joojasoh was you and the intruder together." "How come the intruder let you live although you saw him?" "I am curious about that." "What do you think about that?" "Again, you should not ask me that." "You are supposed to find it out on your own." "Now, what you are supposed to ask me is... the situation and clue of the incident, so that you can catch the attacker." "Then, let me ask you." "Do you have any clues that you can tell me?" "That attacker was very tall with a mask covering half of his face." "I SAW THAT TOO!" "What is this?" "He was wearing an iron brace of this pattern." "In that short moment, you could memorize this complex pattern?" "I , just by glancing over things, can remember everything." "What ?" "!" "You expect me to be believe that !" "[ Gyumsabok shift list ]" "For real, you can remember everything just by looking at it once." "It is true." "So Yi has a talent for remembering things such as characters or paintings." "Plus, last night she went to Joojasoh to return Yoon Pil's book that I borrowed." "It was only an errand." "Did you say it was your errand?" "Do you have anything more to ask So Yi?" "Do you have anything more to report?" "Then... she can leave now, right?" "[ Joojasoh ] (Printing Department)" "Have you arrived?" "How is it?" "Yes..." "There is no other scar such as a stab wound." "Then!" "Well, I will bring him back to check his lungs and intestines." "If I find something from the lungs and intestines, it means it was suffocation caused by the flame." "The flame..." "This time it is fire." "Earth, water and also, fire." "Yes?" "What are you talking about?" "Nothing." "Cover him." "Yes." "Certainly..." "He said the earth, water and fire..." "He knows Heo Dahm died from water?" "Hey hey!" "Kang Chae Yoon, Kang Chae Yoon!" "Quickly!" "You quickly..." "Go to the King's private quarters." "Why there?" "His Majesty is looking for you." "What?" "His Majesty is ?" "!" "His Majesty is?" "Why?" "Perhaps because of last night's incident... as you chased the attacker, maybe some reward?" "Is he really" "Ddol Bok?" "DoestheKinghaveiron  armour around the belly?" "He will be the first citizen that I will save." "A royal drink poured by Your Majesty for me... ismywish." "Are you outside Deung Yong?" "Yes, My Lord." "Bring Gyumsabok's Kang Chae Yoon to outside of the Gate Shin Moo." "Yes." "Secretly!" "Bring him!" "[ Shin Moo Moon:" "The north gate of Gyeongbok palace ]" "Yes." "It is inevitable..." "Chae Yoon." "No..." "Ddol Bok..." "Your Majesty," "Palace Guard, Kang Chae Yoon, has arrived." "Your Majesty..." "Were you looking for me?" "Why are you coming back alone?" "His Majesty has summoned..." "Kang Chae Yoon to the private court." "What?" "Therefore, you saw him inside Joojaso (printing house)?" "Yes," "Your Majesty." "Tell me in detail." "That..." "Your humble subject doused in water and entered Joojaso." "However," "I was unable to chase after him." "Only managed to pull the young court lady out from the fire." "Before the fire... you were already outside of Joojaso, I heard." "Is it true?" "Yes, Your Majesty." "I was chasing after his traces." "How did you know it was Joojaso?" "That..." "Go ahead, speak up." "The intruder... when he kidnapped Scholar Yoon Pil..." "Your humble subject... in order to explain... may I stand for a moment?" "Go ahead." "I've never seen a man so swift." "No, instead of saying he was swift, it was as though he was flying." "He flapped down from the tree." "Like this, grabbing Scholar Yoon Pil." "Like this." "In this pose." "Stop right there!" "What is going on?" "Forgive me, Your Majesty." "However, this is the great hall." "This is not a place where you can let yourself loose." "You should crawl on your knees, and exert yourself with manners." "Yes," "My Lord." "I will tell you again." "That intruder grabbed Scholar Yoon Pil, and went up to the tree." "But the ground was hallowed." "The ground was hallowed?" "Yes." "If it's from his high martial arts of some sort..." "I thought it might be possible he may have left a trace of his take-off." "Hence, I was following that trace... and ended up in Joojaso." "Lee Do..." "Unlike what I had thought, that man is quite intelligent, isn't he?" "Your Majesty," "What is it?" "Why did you do that before?" "Great job!" "I did really well." "The success rate was only 50 percent at best." "It was good to endure it." "Royal drink... not just 70 percent but 90 percent chance, all right." "I will wait for that." "I am Hanjitgol's Ddol Bok, after all !" "He is Ddol Bok." "Wait...who?" "Ddol Bok?" "Year Moosool (1418)." "The night Lord Shim Ohn and his entire household and slaves were killed." "The survivor..." "He is Ddol Bok of Hanjitgol." "Your Majesty." "Tell him to stop bullshit." "That Ddol Bok came to court as Gyumsabok's Kang Chae Yoon, Your Majesty." "He was very eager to come to the palace from the North battle front." "He did not come to the palace to pursue success." "Iwillkillhim ." "I will kill the guy who killed my father." "He is not asking for money or promotion." "Instead, he begged for Uh Sah Joo." "(Drink given from the king)" " Why do you think is the reason?" " I will kill!" "All this time..." "Your Majesty." "Finally he came here." "He is an assasinator." "He came here as an assasinator." "He died because of me." "Your Majesty!" "Because of me, his father died." "Because of me, all of his family and relatives all died." "Your Majesty." "I am Moo Hyul, the Chief Royal Guard." "As long as I am responsible of Your Majesty's safety, I cannot overlook this." "Ddol Bok, that kid." "Kang Chae Yoon !" "Please do not command anything." "Just for a moment, please pretend you don't know anything." "Then, I will deal with this." "I shall take my leave, Your Majesty." "Wait a moment." "Let me think about it for a moment." "Your Majesty." "He is the one who the court lady So Yi, who works on your plan, has missed so much." "So Yi thinks Ddol Bok died." "But..." "If So Yi finds it out, we don't know what will happen." "So Yi should not find out about this ever!" "Your Majesty." "Wait a moment, a moment !" "Can't you hear me !" "You wait, Moo Hyul." "Do not take any steps yet." "You wench!" "What are you doing?" "Lower the sword." "But..." "Do it." "Why did you do that?" "Do you know who I am?" "Answer His Majesty at once!" "She can't talk." "[ Queen Soheon ]" "She was the slave of Lord Shim Ohn?" "Yes." "She lost all of her family when there was a breach at the prison." "I saved her in the middle of the escape." "Are you going to blame me?" "Was she always mute from birth?" "That night she lost her speaking ability." "Can you hear me?" "I am sorry." "Your Majesty." "You have arrived." "But the Prince is not here right now." "I am aware of it." "I came here to meet So Yi." "I memorized and wrote what Scholar Yoon Pil did before he died." "He organized more than 70 percent of it and he kept the rest seperately." "You look quite down." "Why is that?" "Yoon Pil is dead." "Yes, really feel sorry for it." "Heo Dahm died too." "Go In Seol died..." "My father-in-law died... and my uncles of mother's side all died." "Queen's relatives all have passed away as well." "Everyone has passed away." "So Yi." "Your family, too." "And your friends are all dead too." "Your Majesty." "Since the night of Moo Sool, I took an oath everyday." "Since then, not to let anyone die because of me." "However... more death... yet again." "People who I cherished, they died while doing my work." "I let them die again..." "It is not His Majesty's fault." "What did you say right now!" "This is all my responsibility!" "I killed them!" "Everything that happens in Joseon is my responsibility." "Withering flowers, floods, thunders..." "they are all my responsibility!" "That is being a King." "Take all the responsibility!" "Any excuses are not accepted." "That is the position as a King of Joseon!" "Your Majesty!" "Then, how dare you say that it is not my responsibility!" "My people died while doing my work!" "I KILLED THEM!" "It is not Your Majesty's responsibility!" "It is not Your Majesty's responsibility!" "It is not Your Majesty's responsibility!" "It is not Your Majesty's responsibility!" "It is not Your Majesty's responsibility!" "It is not Your Majesty's responsibility!" "It is not Your Majesty's responsibility!" "Do not cry !" "Your Majesty!" "It's an order." "Don't cry." "For me, don't shed even a drop of tears for me." "Tokillme , thepersonyouhavemissedsomuch," "DdolBokhascome." "If you are shaken," "then, I will collapse too." "Don't be shaken!" "It's an order as well!" "What are these?" "What is this?" "Isn't it a typeset?" "I think there are more..." "It seems that they are messages before death." "Sajajeoneon?" "[ Sajajeoneon : messages left before death ]" "Yes!" "They were these..." "Open it up." "Pierce, mouth, perish, body." "By piercing the mouth to get rid of the body..." "By piercing the body to get rid of the mouth." "By removing the mouth, to pierce the body." "By removing the body, to pierce the mouth." "To remove mouth and body by piercing them." "So what does that mean?" "That!" "Even I don't know." "I don't even know the order." "You said there is nothing you don't know on the earth." "Was that all a bluff?" "What bluff?" "It must be one of the interpretations that I made, you see!" "Pierce..." "Who is this person?" "Who is he that he's in here?" "Just because you work for the government you guys..." "You called me to come and now you belittle me?" "Ack jeez." "Who was that?" "What's he called again?" "Idle punk?" "Anyways, he's failed the state exam a dozen times." "A nobleman who panhandles in Banchon." "Pathetic lad." "But why here?" "Since he's the biggest gossiper." "Are you crazy?" "It's already chaotic, you want everyone to know?" "Yup, that's what I intend." "But take a look here." "What is that there?" "Who else knows about this?" "Aigoo, I tried to keep this a secret, but.." "everyone will find it out soon." "How so?" "Palace guard, Kang Chae Yoon, spread it out everywhere..." "What?" "Pierce the mouth to rid of the body." "Pierce the body to rid of the mouth." "Rid of the mouth to pierce the body." "Rid of the body to pierce the mouth." "Pierce the mouth and the body to rid of both." "But what is that?" "That is what I mean.." "Why did he eat those before he died?" "No he didn't eat it, someone must have shoved them in his mouth." "After they were shoved in, he was probably startled by the fire and gagged harder on them." "This is why... you guys are dumb." "Then?" "This is what they refer to as "predeath testimony."" "Predeath testimony?" "What's that now?" "As a person is dying, wanting to tell about something." "Predeath testimony." "So it's a last will he left behind." "Have you all heard?" "We are in mourning of Scholar Yoon." "How are you speaking and behaving so hasty?" "Then you don't listen, okay?" "The deceased Scholar Yoon." "Scholar Yoon..." "Hurry and speak." "Scholar Yoon left a predeath testimony." "What?" "A predeath testimony?" "What is it?" "Well that..." "Its meaning..." "can you understand it?" "Gong Gu Mang Ga" "About me, you know." "I know exactly what I'm good at and what I'm not good at." "You know what, I'm not going to put in a finger of effort into solving the puzzle." "Why?" "Because I can't." "And Yoon Pil was a smart man." "So it wouldn't be something easily solved." "Right!" "So that's why you spread it around!" "You want the noblemen to solve it." "No, it wouldn't be something just anyone can solve." "Then?" "It must be a secret code only those who know can figure out." "Someone who knows it will show himself eventually." "A punk who has no patience." "And we just go around and wait until then." "Where?" "First, to Jiphyeonjeon." "Why?" "You saw that tattoo earlier." "What about that tattoo though?" "It's too small so it was hard to see, but there was a sqaure inside a circle." "Scholar Heo Dahm had the same on his shoulder." "So what about that tattoo, I mean!" "Think you animal!" "Same tattoo." "What does it mean?" "Same horse?" "They are lovers?" "!" "Aww..." "They are from the same organization." "I think it was Gong Gu Mang Gi or something." "What is that?" "Does it refer to the culprit?" "Well I don't know." "He said he would spread it all over town." "I wonder if he's trying to seek the answer from the noblemen who can solve it." "Your Majesty, you must make a decision urgently." "Chae Yoon is a dangerous man." "It seems Chae Yoon knows of Geoniksagong." "The death of Go In Seol in the north and Scholar Heo Dahm and Yoon Pil's deaths..." "It seems he figured out their deaths were of earth, water and fire of the five elements." "Just how much effort has that young Ddol Bok gone through in order to kill me?" "You are amazing, Kang Chae Yoon." "What is it Gong Gu Mang Gi?" "Why do you think I know about them?" "If you don't know yet, then you must be solving them now." "However, you are not doing anything." "That is true." "If you know that, how come you don't say anything about it?" "Since I can't believe it." "I cannot believe it." "Aigoo, Ahhh !" "Why those bastards!" "Stand still." "Why?" "They look like Ming folks from Taepyeonggwan." "If we get involved, it will only make things worse." "What is the meaning of this?" "Who the heck are you?" "You appear to be men from Taepyeonggwan." "How can you be doing this?" "Why you little!" "Why do you use your sword so thoughtlessly." "However, those punks..." "I am Shim Jong Soo from North village." "What?" "You must keep your manners in the country of nobles." "Stop!" "Since my men are immature, they seem to be impolite." "Let's go!" "There was a great warrior in HanYang too." "He is pretty fast." "That's a killer!" "Gong Gu Mang Gi?" "What is the matter?" "I am Palace Guard, Kang Chae Yoon." "Here to see the senior scholar." "Chief Scholar is absent right now." "Then, who shall I discuss with?" "It is about Scholar Yoon Pil." "Ask Assistant Chief Scholar." "What is going on?" "But aren't you from earlier... in town..." "Have you seen me?" "It is shameful." "Don't talk about it." "[ Shim Jong Soo:" "Assistant Chief Scholar ]" "How does the Assistant Chief Scholar possess such high martial arts skills?" "In his martial arts skills, he's next to Security Chief, Moohyul." "In terms of his scholarships, better than all those high scholars from Ming." "Junior Scholar Seong!" "Please go inside." "Go in." "I will request you straightforwardly." "Please allow us to investigate the body of scholars in Jiphyunjeon." "What?" "What did you say?" "Physical investigation?" "What are you talking about?" "He is the Chief Scholar." "Who dares attempt to investigate the scholars' body?" "Some odd things came out from scholar Yoon Phil's body." "So... what does this have to do with me?" "The relationship is confidential and I cannot explain it to you yet." "If you allow us to do it, we can prevent the potential risk." "Are you threatening me?" "What do you mean by threatening?" "You can't tell me the reason, but if I don't agree, then you can't block the future calamaties?" "This isn't threatening then what?" "I will not allow it!" "Even if I were to, the scholar officials from the noble clans of Joseon have no reason to allow it." "Leave at once!" "At once!" "[ Palace Guard Headquarters ]" "Show me the way to the morgue." "What do you mean by the morgue?" "I mean the morgue where Yoon Pil's corpse is placed!" "I...don't don't know..." "The corpse was already buried." "Lead me the way." "Right Now!" "Joong Gi Mang." "Joong Gi Mang, you say?" "Combine 'one' with 'mouth' for 'joong (middle)'..." "Yes." "It appears like a child-play." "What do you mean?" "Middle country (China) has no more 'Gi' surnames." "Surname Gi of China would be..." "The reconnaissance envoy from Ming nation is... surnamed Gi, isn't he?" "So referring to the Taepyeonggwan of Ming?" "It is just a supposition." "Shin." "( God )" "Wonsoongyi." "( monkey )" "Or surname Shin." "Hey, if you do it that way, it could be Gap (box) or Jeon (field) too." "Then what are you going to do about the remaining Mang character?" "Then do you have a different explanation?" "The way I see it..." "It's about the strokes." "Gong takes one stroke." "Gu, Gi and Mang, all take three strokes each." "Hence?" "One stroke could mean His Majesty." "Gu's stroke of three could be the top three ministers." "Then..." "What would be the remaining Gi and Mang of three strokes each?" "Could it be... the six ministries?" "Precisely!" "His Majesty and the three top cabinet ministers." "Plus the six ministries..." "What about them?" "Well that!" "I don't know either, of course." "And also, the fact that I can't solve it." "Why?" "If you can't solve it then no one can?" "Is that what you want to say?" "Indeed, Senior Scholar Jang... is quite intelligent." "I'm the fool to listen to you." "Let's start over with Mang." "Mang?" "This is a waste of time, I tell you." "Let's go and have a drink, Paeng Nyeon." "I am telling you this isn't the time to solve this." "That's Minister Jang of Rites Ministry." "He's said to be really close with Right-State Minister." "Which area of the palace is that court lady from?" "From the Grand Palace." "[ Jiphyeonjeon ] (Hall of Worthies)" "Right-State Minister... called Chief Scholar Choi Manri." "Hey, there's someone else coming." "His Majesty summoned Minister Jeong." "Hey, I guess they're after some liquor again." "Who are they?" "Son of Minister Seong Soon, Scholar Seong Sam Moon." "He's the one who is most human-like in Jiphyeonjeon." "Why?" "Because he's thoughtless." "What now?" "Oh, it's Lord Shin Jeong Soo." "I should go greet him." "Chae Yoon!" "Chae Yoon!" "Why that beast!" "That dumb thing." "Why?" "What is the matter?" "The corpses." "The corpses are gone." "What?" "The corpses?" "What's going on?" "But they were certainly..." "I locked up though." "So, did they extort the corpses?" "Yes." "Who were they?" "I haven't figured that out yet." "But their skills were quite haphazzard." "They must be associates of Heo Dahm and Yoon Pil." "If Lord Jeong In Ji finds out... then I will die." "What exactly do you plan to do?" "You just need to keep your mouth quiet." "Go on out." "Yes." "What exactly did you want to verify?" "Find out who those men are." "And await your next order." "Yes." "Please welcome." "Most scholars are combining the characters in various ways." "And making suppositions as to who the characters are trying to point to." "They even made the characters for Gap, Shin and Jeon." "And saying it could be surname Gi of China or the envoy Gi at the ambassador house." "You don't know either?" "The meaning of that Gong Gu Mang Gi?" "Your Majesty, you know?" "Does this predeath testimony really signify us?" "According to Pyong, before Yoon Pil died, he figured out about us." "Hence... this Gong Gu Mang Gi." "It must refer to us." "However." "just how this signifies us..." "I can't seem to figure out." "Your Majesty !" "What exactly does Gong Gu Mang Gi signify?" "Cheonji (Heaven and Earth) Organization members... we weren't the only ones." "Those who can solve Gong Gu Mang Gi." "There are only eight invidivuals on earth." "Not even all the Cheonji members can do it." "Organization chief... is working on something we don't know." "Mil... ?" "Mil?" "Yoon Pil transferred its meaning using the alphabet that only we know." "Your Majesty." "Then..." "Then, what about the character Mang (perish)?" "How does this..." "Why on earth does this stand for us?" "Mil..." "Bon..." "Mil..." "Bon..." "Mil-Bon... !"
