"Subtitles by MBC" "Exhale, inhale..." "[Episode 18]" "I have to do a c-section without anesthesia... and finish it within 10 minutes." "Please hold it in your mouth." "Doctor Jin." "Yes." "Even if something happens to me, please save my baby." "You will be all right, too." "Please hold it in your mouth." "We'll begin a caesarean section." "I've done so many operations since my time-slip to Joseon." "Little was my desire to do obstetrical surgery." "It's because two lives are in my hands." "I must succeed, without fail." "Madam, you must stay conscious." "Please bear with it a little more." "I must finish quickly before she passes out." "The mother cannot hold out long." "There's no time." "Make a midline longitudinal incision." "Incise the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and the linea alba." "The Queen Dowager is the aunt of my wife!" "I can't betray her." "Then you don't care even if the Kims of Andong overthrow the royal throne?" "Maybe you are loyal to the Queen Dowager but not to this country!" "Please don't ask a favor too difficult for me to do!" "Your wife is enduring unbearable pain even while we speak." "How long will you withdraw in fear?" "Push down the bladder and make 2 to 3 cm incisions on the bottom of the uterus." "Be careful not to hurt the fetus." "Make several incisions." "Please bear with it a little more." "When the amnion appears, open the incised area with the hands and tear the amnion." "Put the hands inside the uterus and..." "Madam, I can see the baby!" "Forget about loyalty, and just question yourself as a scholar." "Is it really right to neglect this country that's in critical condition?" "You are not the only loyalist!" "You think you are the only patriot?" "Just think of your baby soon to be born." "Think of how he'll live in a future world still under the influence of the Councilor!" "For now, I can't afford to worry about a distant future." "Please stop." "Professor Lee!" "Let me help you." "Yes." "As soon as you remove the fetus, I'll put her under anesthesia." "I'll put pressure on the upper part of the uterus." "I must remove the baby as quickly as possible." "Be careful not to tear the uterus opening and damage blood vessels." "Madam, please bear with it a little more." "We got the baby." "I will cut the umbilical cord." "Wait." "His legs and arms are limp." "It seems he is not breathing." "The baby shows cyanosis." "Is he asphyxiated?" "What are you doing?" "Give him to me." "He's crying." "Yes, he's crying." "Why are you staring at me like that?" "I only did as I learned from a medical book." "You did a good job." "You did well." "Is the baby all right?" "Yes, your baby is healthy." "A very healthy boy." "Now, let's put the mother under anesthesia." "We'll remove the placenta and suture the uterus." "Okay." "Let's hurry." "Is it a boy?" "Yes, a handsome boy." "Oh..." "You little troublemaker." "He shouldn't be exposed to cold air." "Oh, okay." "How is she?" "She's sleeping under anesthesia." "The suture went well." "Thank you, Doctor Jin." "You saved my family line." "Your wife did it." "She's such a brave woman." "And there are some things you have to do." "Me?" "Yes." "Please apply cold towels to her abdomen and keep the room cool." "Isn't she supposed to sweat it out?" "On the contrary." "To prevent post-delivery bleeding, the room should be cool." "Also, applying cold towels to her will help with uterine contractions." "I see." "Dear." "Good job." "What brought you here?" "I need your help." "So what are you telling me to do?" "You delivered his baby." "If you persuade him, he will change his mind." "Are you telling me to threaten him using the baby?" "It's conciliation, not threat..." "For the sake of this country and me, please..." "I'm sorry but I can't do that." "Sir, even if something happened to me," "I wouldn't take advantage of our friendship." "That's the friendship I know." "Doctor Jin." "Oh, look at me." "I left the suture needles at Professor Lee's house." "It's here." "Oh, I mean the bottle of anesthetics." "I have it with me." "No." "I left something there." "I'm sure I forgot something." "I need to go back." "Don't wait for me." "Please go first." "Go, just go." "Doctor Hur, I..." "Just go!" "Poor me." "What am I doing when I can't scratch my own back?" "So lonely." "With whom can I walk in step?" "I have no place to go." "You surprised me today." "Since I had never done obstetrical surgery before, I was nervous." "If you didn't do first aid earlier, the baby would've died from asphyxia." "You did a great job." "You said I'm talented in medicine." "Right." "I have a good judge of character." "It came to my mind... that if I hadn't come to this world... and if I hadn't met you, you would probably be living an ordinary, happy life now." "I would live an ordinary life but... happy?" "Probably." "I would live happily as someone's wife." "Have you seen Commander Kim?" "In the palace, briefly." "He wished me to become the best doctor in Joseon." "But as I think, it'll be difficult since you're there." "No." "I'm sure you'll become a good doctor even if you're born in another world." "I told you." "I have a good judge of character." "Well." "I think you are right." "Professor Lee had a son safely." "Thanks to Doctor Jin, I guess." "And Prince Heung Seon must've tried to persuade him using Doctor Jin." "How did you know that?" "You don't always have to see to know things." "He is troubled." "Professor Lee is the only one he can cling to." "I guess he didn't get the answer he wanted." "It seems so." "Whether a cur loses its prey or an old cat gets hurt from a fall, we have nothing to lose." "Joseon is still in my hands like this plant in that pot." "Your orchid leaves seem to reflect your disturbed mind." "Strike Professor Lee." "If we interrogate him rigorously, he will confess to treason." "Of course, we should finish before the Councilor takes action." "He is Queen Dowager's relative." "How would we handle the aftermath?" "Do we have a choice?" "The cards is against us." "We should wait." "The direction of the wind could change." "Please keep drawing orchids." "I will grind the ink stick." "He has your eyes and nose." "I don't know yet." "Take a close look." "Isn't he a chip off the old block?" "Dear." "Prince Heung Seon asked me to join his cause." "If I do, the sun will never shine upon the Queen Dowager again." "So did you give him an answer?" "I said I could not forsake ethics and moral laws." "Is his cause... just?" "He suggested that we should save Joseon from the treacherous Councilor." "I thought about this." "'When this boy grows up, can he enter government service?" "'" "'Should he beg for a position from the Kims of Andong?" "'" "Dear." "Am I not your wife?" "I will obey your decision." "Thank you, Professor Lee." "I'm glad to see you early in the morning." "What brings you here?" "Your Highness, discussing a next king during the reign of the current king is a grave crime second to treason." "What did you just say?" "You are the eldest person of Joseon." "Even if you were deceived by treacherous subjects, this servant cannot condone this matter." "So?" "Will you punish this old woman for treason?" "That is absurd." "How could I dare to punish Your Highness?" "However, Three Offices might protest the King to dismiss you, and it concerns me greatly." "Are you telling me that you'll cover me so I should step down?" "Professor Lee begot a cute son." "You could find it pleasing to watch him do cute things." "I have no intention to carry his baby in my bosom." "Your Highness, please listen to the counsel of Grand Internal Prince." "I don't want to hear you!" "Who do you think helped you get the life you've been enjoying?" "And now you're telling me to listen to him?" "You may leave." "Your Highness." "No more words out of you." "Leave at once!" "Your Excellency, the Queen Dowager is urgently looking for you." "I have an urgent matter to discuss with royal court members." "Tell her to wait." "I'm not available today." "I'll come by tomorrow." "Convey the message." "Yes." "Can't believe Professor Lee turned his back on her." "I wonder how Prince Heung Seon changed his mind." "If Prince Heung Seon attacks us tooth and nail, both sides will lose much." "He wouldn't act so recklessly." "You are right." "Still, you might want to keep distance from the Queen Dowager." "She is over the hill now." "So she warmed a snake in her bosom." "The situation is working against us." "Once he removes the annoying old woman, he'll aim at us for sure." "Keep close watch on his movements." "Your wish is my command." "Not today but tomorrow?" "Did you clearly tell him that it's urgent?" "Yes, Your Highness." "He stays when things are good and flees when things go wrong." "So the Councilor is sparing himself?" "How impudent!" "Your Highness, Your Highness." "Please calm down, Your Highness." "Your Highness." "You need rest for some time." "Please eat soft food so you won't suffer from indigestion." "Doctor Jin." "Yes, Your Highness." "As I become this old, my days are ones of humiliation." "Please take heart and stay healthy." "Prince Heung Seon is such a dreadful man." "He will remove the Councilor and control Joseon." "Although you're a doctor, I know you are a special friend to him." "Please help him to lead this country into the future." "Your Highness should help him." "What can I do... except to get older, deflated in the backwater of life?" "I am sleepy." "I will get some sleep." "Queen Dowager Cho," "Prince Heung Seon's political partner to enthrone King Go Jong, thus took a step back from the front lines of power." "Therefore, I would like to rest my weak body... and spend time in commemorating the virtues of the preceding kings." "I hope that you do not feel sorry for me... and do your utmost for the sake of this country." "That is the remaining wish of this old woman." "Her Highness!" "Grand Internal Prince!" "Congratulations." "To me?" "Now you don't have to run over to the Queen Dowager and lay down the flattery." "It goes, "A hunter boils his hound after hunting a rabbit."" "But it seems like a cur boiled its master." "Hey." "He is Grand Internal Prince." "Watch your language." "I'd like to offer my congratulations to you too." "I heard a rumor that you're preparing a next king." "I let it go through one ear and out the other." "I wonder who spread that false rumor." "What a foolish man." "False rumor?" "There can't be smoke without fire." "Professor Lee, don't mind such a wild rumor." "The Councilor wouldn't dare to plot such high treason." "When you hold a high post long enough like me, you can be the talk of such groundless rumors." "I'm glad that you have a discerning ear." "I'm glad to hear that you're glad." "Let's go." "He must be waiting for the right moment." "Not as desperately as I am." "It's been 40 years..." "I've waited to revenge for 40 years." "Now that I have power, I will wield it." "Sir." "Have a seat." "How is the Queen Dowager?" "I heard she regained her energy." "She's burned out mentally." "I'm sure." "She was too ambitious for her age." "Aren't you ambitious?" "To monopolize your power, you dragged her down, didn't you?" "The goal of ambition matters." "Do I seek power to satisfy my personal interests?" "If I did, I wouldn't have pushed for this." "Take a look." "It's a confidential report on Confucian acadamies." "I can't overlook this matter." "Sir, but this is..." "Tell me." "Does the history you know call this policy a success?" "Why?" "Since you wrote it down in the letter, you don't want to tell me?" "It won't success." "And these people supported you." "I see." "I was curious about that." "But it's too early, much earlier than I know." "When you recite the same verse, your tone changes each day." "But that doesn't mean the content of the verse changes." "Even if the timing is different, as long as it ended in success, that will do." "You could fail if you are too hasty." "You are too naive." "Time is not on my side." "If I am hesitant, the Councilor will counterattack." "I must stop his plan before he gets me." "Do you remember our promise?" "Regarding Catholics?" "Yes." "You're not even a Catholic." "Why are you so concerned about it?" "Because I have someone to protect." "Grand Internal Princess Consort?" "Have you been well?" "Why don't you come to worship these days?" "Since I am busy with..." "I heard that you became a royal court physician." "That's why I came to you to discuss something." "Who is out there?" "Mother, she is the Grand Internal Princess Consort." "Good gracious!" "What brings you to this humble place?" "Please come on in." "Thank you but..." "There's a patient in need of urgent care." "Could I bring your daughter with me?" "Of course, you could." "Go ahead." "Grand Internal Princess Consort..." "She's the mother of the king!" "Her medical skills must be extraordinary indeed, seeing such a noble lady coming for her in person." "Is he really Father Ridel?" "Yes." "Have you heard of him?" "Of course I have." "He came from France to preach the gospel in Joseon." "Every believer would want to meet him." "He was caught in a police check on his way back to Qing." "And his leg got wounded as he ran." "The worship place is not safe, and I couldn't call for a doctor." "So I carried him here." "Let me go bring medicines from the infirmary." "No one should know about this." "Sure." "As soon as you come to power, you will order the abolition of Confucian academies." "Confucian scholars will resist, but you will have public support... and a number of Confucian academies will shut down in the end." "A so-called doctor deludes himself with the art of divination?" "So you're here." "Yes." "Is there any problem?" "Miss?" "There is a patient." "I think he has sepsis." "Sepsis?" "He has a high fever and his condition is critical." "I'm not sure if penicillin can cure him." "Can you examine him?" "Sure." "Bring him here." "Why?" "In fact, the patient is a Western priest." "Right, it's sepsis." "It's not good." "Then..." "Let's administer penicillin and watch as it progresses." "What are you doing?" "What is it?" "It's a syringe, a tool to inject medicine." "Syringe?" "Medicine?" "You'll get better after taking this medicine." "No, don't." "Please don't do anything to my body." "Father." "I've never seen that medicine even in my country." "And I don't trust medicines made in Joseon." "He is a skilled doctor and a royal doctor." "I must go to Qing." "I have a French doctor there." "I can bear with the pain until then." "If left alone, your wound will get infected." "You could die." "I'm okay." "I don't need a doctor from Joseon." "You persuade him and give him a shot yourself." "Me?" "Since you believe the same God, he might trust you more than me." "If you can't trust me, trust her." "All right?" "I'm a Catholic." "This syringe and the medicine are not dangerous at all." "I can promise in the name of Heavenly Father." "Please trust me." "You're done." "I've never seen a female doctor in Joseon." "In his next treatment..." "I'll do it." "You don't need to come here." "Did you forget the promise you made with me?" "You shouldn't go to worship or associate with believers for some time." "But..." "I'm saying this for you benefit." "I'll take care of him." "So please listen to me." "I'm sorry to cause you anxiety." "I will do as you tell me." "Good." "I don't feel good about this." "What do you mean?" "Prince Heung Seon came with a sharpened blade." "I don't know what his target is but... we will see blood." "The recent state of national finances is worse than ever." "For this reason, this servant dares to petition Your Majesty The King." "There are 1,700 Confucian academies in Joseon." "Only a handful of them are approved and supported by the royal court, but most of the others are established by local Confucian scholars in abandon." "These academies extort money from the people ...and do harm to local governments." "Thus this servant requests to abolish all these private Confucian academies." "If Confucius knew that his followers did harm to the people, he wouldn't forgive those followers." "Confucian academies these days are as good as a den of thieves." "While they possess huge plots of land and slaves, they don't pay any taxes but nibble away national finances." "We should abolish private Confucian academies ...and vest their land in the local governments." "Also, we should illegalize the establishment ...of Confucian private academies." "The spirits of the sages rest in Confucian academies." "Abolish?" "You are saying that we should cut off our Confucian heritage!" "Listen, Councilor." "The state coffers are getting empty." "We can't waste money on dead Confucius!" "Confucian scholars will revolt then." "You have to get your hands dirty to get the work done." "Dirty?" "The whole nation suffers from the evils of Confucian academies." "For the sake of the people under heavy taxes, we should eradicate the evils." "Confucian scholars are also royal subjects." "Why make an enemy of Confucian scholars?" "Those who eat away state coffers and lord over the government... are not royal subjects but thieves." "It's not your place to come forward, Inspector!" "Since there are larger robbers in the palace we can overlook petty thieves." "Is that it?" "How dare you!" "Silence!" "I understand the intention of the Grand Internal Prince." "Now how will you deal with Confucian scholars?" "Can you handle their resistance?" "They will learn that I am more dreadful than dead Confucius." "The abolition of Confucian academies..." "Confucian academies..." "Read that phrase." "They should've taught them a lesson earlier." "The Grand Internal Prince is the man." "Why yes." "But Confucian scholars won't sit back." "Let them come and protest." "We can put them in jail." "Right, right." "We're not afraid of those tax cheaters at all." "Prince Heung Seon's policy is gaining overwhelming support from the people." "Until now, history has come as it is set." "What will come of the persecution of Catholics?" "Will it be really unavoidable?" "The spirits of the sages are infuriated!" "Grand Internal Prince, don't you fear heaven?" "Withdraw the abolition order of Confucian academies and apologize!" "Apologize!" "Apologize!" "Withdraw the abolition order of Confucian academies!" "I wonder who makes such a noise..." "Now I see it's the whining of good-for-nothings." "What?" "Hey you, good-for-nothings, your unproductive studies on" "Confucianism hasn't gotten you anywhere, has it?" "Am I wrong?" "You're right!" "Well, what are you going to do?" "Will you go home on your feet, or will you make me throw you into jail?" "Rack your brains and choose either one." "Ready." "I will count to three." "One." "Two." "Three!" "Get them!" "Let go of me!" "The Confucian scholars in protest scattered?" "A few of them resisted to the end but... they were also dragged away by the soldiers." "No wonder." "They are nerdy scholars." "They have no guts to resist threats." "But the problem is the people." "Scores of Confucian scholars came in flocks near the capital, but they got beat up by the people and went back." "You mean, they used violence towards noblemen?" "What were the royal forces doing then?" "It seems the Grand Internal Prince gave separate orders ...not to meddle in the matter." "Look at the state of the country in shambles..." "The people who hate to see Confucian scholars welcome this policy." "Since the Grand Internal Prince won the heart of the people, if you go against him, you'll receive resentment from the people." "Just get out!" "Prince Heung Seon is getting more and more outrageous." "There must be an ulterior motive behind the abolition of Confucian academies." "That's obvious." "He's trying to shake our family by clearing the bedrock of our political faction." "How cunning." "This could be our chance." "What do you mean?" "He removed the Queen Dowager and abolished Confucian academies." "He must be in high spirits since he's had his way until now." "Man lets his guard down in times like these." "Do you think you can catch him off guard?" "I will, by all means." "You'll be fine after a few more days of rest." "That was a close call." "I'm not happy even when I'm alive." "So many brothers and sisters are arrested because of their faith." "I know that." "Joseon has no hope." "If it keeps persecuting believers, disaster might come upon it." "May I know your name?" "My name is Felix-Clair Ridel." "Or Bok Myong Yi in Korean." "Ridel..." "A French bishop who led the French warship to the Joseon which persecuted Catholics." "This man leads the French Campaign against Korea in 1866." "Somehow, you feel different from other people in Joseon." "You have wonderful medical skills and the medicine you made is also amazing." "You are a stranger like me." "You don't belong here." "Where are you from?" "You came back." "Doctor Jin!" "Your headache got worse?" "No..." "Miss..." "That western priest..." "Something happened to him?" "If he goes back to Qing..." "You look pale." "Let me go bring your medicine." "So this is what the royal court clinic looks like." "What brings you here?" "I'm sorry, but I didn't come to see you." "Doctor Jin." "If you don't mind, can we talk?" "Do you have any idea why he came for you?" "It shouldn't be anything serious." "Looking back, it is a wonder." "Prince Heung Seon became the Grand Internal Prince ...and has Joseon under his power, pitting his strength against my family with 60 years of political power." "Isn't it really amazing?" "So?" "And that's not all." "Your medical skills that save dying people are also a wonder." "I wouldn't have t believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes." "What are you trying to say?" "You were in the middle of every wonder." "Who are you?" "And where are you from that you make everything possible?" "I am... a mere doctor." "I'm a friend of Grand Internal Prince and the medical teacher of Lady Young Rae." "Didn't you forget one thing?" "You're also a mysterious and marvelous diviner." "I'll think about how I'm going to use you." "You must tell me who you are by then." "What was his business with you?" "Why do you look at me like that?" "Did you tell him about me?" "Like what?" "That I came from another world, the future." "How did he know that?" "Doctor Jin." "Those Confucian scholars are complete weaklings, so I held them in both hands and threw them!" "Right, Gae Bok?" "Yeah!" "Wherever I go, there are praises of the Grand Internal Prince." "You won the mind of the people through this." "Meaning I won the mind of heaven." "Now, more things will be possible for me." "Oh yes, absolutely." "But you shouldn't take Councilor lightly." "I know his movements like the back of my hand." "Don't I?" "What do you mean?" "Did you plant a spy within them." "Oh, come on." "If I reveal it now, it couldn't be a spy." "Suppose you didn't hear anything." "Choon Hong, there's someone looking for you." "Commander Kim?" "Yes." "I think he suspected something, though not everything, about me." "Are you sure you didn't tell him anything?" "Why would I?" "You know I wish for your safe return." "I see." "My lord." "Are you all right?" "You don't look well." "I'm okay." "I have to go to the priest..." "Pardon?" "I must go and tell him..." "not to resort war...." "War?" "What are you talking about?" "Nothing." "I'm okay." "My lord!" "Father." "What happened?" "He wants to hold a farewell mass in Joseon." "I told him to take more rest but..." "Sister, now I'm okay." "I couldn't bring your medicine in my haste." "Do you think you can walk?" "The public infirmary is nearby." "Let me give you a shot there." "Yes." "That's a good idea." "Father?" "I'm okay." "But you'll go a long way." "Please." "They are cult members!" "Arrest them all!" "Father, hurry." " But..." " Hurry." "Stop there!" "Where are you going?" "You are suspicious." "Lady Young Rae?" "Why are you here at this juncture?" "I'm taking a patient with me." "There's no time to lose." "Take off your hat." "Now!" "Get him!" "Kyung Tak." "There are eyes." "I need to speak to you urgently." "Something happened during the night?" "Do you still have your subordinates in the police?" "Why?" "You need to make a private request?" "Not me." "The Grand Internal Prince does." "He needs to take out a person from jail in secret." "I don't understand if you put it that way." "Tell me in detail." "The Grand Internal Princess Consort is in jail... on charge of believing Catholicism." "There are 6-7 Catholics under arrest including her." "They will start interrogation upon the order of the Ministry of Justice." "Then it'll be known she is your wife." "We must stop it before that." "We must bring her out before the Councilor notices." "What did he say?" "He said since Catholics fall under the control of the Ministry of Justice, it's impossible to bring her out." "The Ministry of Justice is full of the Councilor's men." "I can't move them at my will." "Then what should we do?" "Give my name to the police and tell them to release all the criminals." "But we don't have any reasons to give such an order." "Are you sure about this?" "We should put out the fire first." "Hurry!" " Yes." " Yes." "Mi Na." "Mi Na, open your eyes." "You're sweating so much." "I've never dreamt such a dream." "What kind of dream was it?" "Mi Na..." "Something bad happened to her in my dream." "It's just a bad dream." "But so strange." "It's so vivid... and ominous..." "Maybe it's because you're deeply concerned about her." "Is it true?" "Prince Heung Seon's wife is a Catholic?" "Inspector Hong told me that and asked me to bring her out." "Then what about other Catholics?" "They were all set free by the order of Grand Internal Prince ...before the orders of Justice Ministry." "He who always brings up national laws breached his own words?" "Father, let's go to Court." "Is this room your servant's quarter?" "Pardon me?" "How dare you come in without permission?" "Stay outside." "Should I have my men go arrest his wife?" "She is the mother the king." "Once she's released, it'll be hard to arrest her." "Then, are you going to create a dispute at the royal court?" "Of course." "Although the people support the Grand Internal Prince, if it's known that his wife is a Catholic, they will turn their back on him." "The public sentiment changes very easily." "Now we can shake both Prince Heung Seon and the throne." "These were the newly appointed personnel." "Upon receiving royal letters of approval, they shall proceed to their posts." "Today's meeting is over now." "Your Servant Byunghee Kim has something to tell to Your Majesty." "This country Joseon was established on the Confucian ideas and has put distinction between men and women ...and between the high and the low." "However, a heresy called Catholicism... has suddenly spread among the people and this can even grieve our ancestors in tombs." "How barbarian it is to claim that all men are equal before the Heavenly Father?" "Those who believe Catholicism against national laws are criminals who despise Your Majesty The King and deny customs." "Why are you stating the obvious?" "I heard that the Grand Internal Prince set free the Catholic criminals caught last night." "I wonder why he released the criminals before Justice Ministry's interrogation and if... it is because Grand Internal Princess Consort is a Catholic." "They are going to arrest Catholics." "Oh." "Something happened?" "Haven't you heard the news?" "The palace is turned upside down." "What?" "The Grand Internal Princess Consort, the mother of the King is said to be a Catholic." "And?" "Royal court members are protesting against ...the release of Catholics under arrest ...and requesting Prince Heung Seon to arrest them again." "Doctor Jin." "Doctor Jin!" "You can't keep feigning ignorance." "Officials of State Council and Three Offices have begun appealing, aiming at His Excellency." "The Councilor's men are only part of the protesters." "Most of them are... discontent about your lukewarm attitude toward Catholicism." "The people are also flocking to the outside of the capital." "They ask if you'll leave Catholics alone." "If you keep protecting the Catholics, not only the Councilor but also the people won't stay quiet." "Then are you telling me to wipe out the Catholics?" "No, never." "If you lose the heart of the people, you'll lose power." "Don't open the gate to the Councilor." "Grand Internal Prince." "You must make a decision." "Leave me alone." "I need to think." "Sir!" "No." "You gave me your word." "Don't!" "We can't proceed like this, or we'll be caught in the police check." "Then where should we go?" "Sir!" "You shouldn't kill Catholics." "You must protect them." "That's what the Councilor wants." "So what?" "If you decide not to catch them, that's it." "Politics are not that simple." "Suppose I side with the Catholics." "They will say," "It's because of his wife." "He's in league with Westerners." "It's obvious I'll be attacked from every direction." "And I'll lose power in the end." "So, to secure our power, you'll sacrifice the people?" "If I am removed, do you think the Councilor will leave them alone?" "He'll persecute them even more severely!" "Let him do so!" "You don't have to have their blood on your hands!" "If it's their doom, I don't have to step down!" "Lady Young Rae is in danger too." "Yes, she's a Catholic." "She must be chased to somewhere by now." "Please..." "If something happens to her..." "I don't know." "I don't know what it is but... something terrible will happen." "I'm sorry to say this but I can't lose this country to the Councilor again." "This is a tough decision for me for the sake of Joseon." "You're lying." "All the politicians say that." ""It's for the country, it's for the people."" "But in the end, their sole concern is their own interest." "No?" "Are you saying you don't believe me?" "I don't believe... the power you hate to let go." "Didn't you say you wanted to know how future generations will evaluate you?" "This persecution... is your first act of corruption!" "The second and the third will follow!" "Do you know what will become of this country after all?" "Shut up!" "The history I will make will be different from what you learned!" "No." "I just realized... that you are changing to the way described in the history I learned." "Grand Internal Prince enters Your presence." "Even though Catholics believe in a religion against national law... they are also the people of Joseon and the children of His Majesty."
