Episode 53
3
00:00:06,843 --> 00:00:08,400
Your Majesty!
4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,924
I dare to ask.
5
00:00:11,044 --> 00:00:12,737
Gaya's people...
6
00:00:13,759 --> 00:00:15,401
Gaya's people?!
7
00:00:19,317 --> 00:00:24,363
Where are these
"Gaya people" you speak of?
8
00:00:25,676 --> 00:00:28,518
They are all Shilla's people,
9
00:00:28,638 --> 00:00:30,644
and they are all...
10
00:00:30,764 --> 00:00:33,060
my people!
11
00:00:34,602 --> 00:00:36,008
Your Majesty!
12
00:00:36,623 --> 00:00:38,259
Bidam!
13
00:00:40,235 --> 00:00:42,218
~ Episode 53 ~
14
00:00:42,338 --> 00:00:43,802
Come here.
15
00:00:46,729 --> 00:00:50,013
I was ordered to escort him
to the Commissioner's office.
16
00:00:50,133 --> 00:00:51,802
Directly to his office?
17
00:00:51,922 --> 00:00:53,653
Indeed.
18
00:00:55,032 --> 00:00:56,663
Escort him.
19
00:00:59,179 --> 00:01:02,148
Let us go, Your Excellency.
I will escort you.
20
00:01:07,851 --> 00:01:10,735
How will you proceed?
21
00:01:12,714 --> 00:01:14,884
You must find refuge.
22
00:01:15,248 --> 00:01:20,069
If I run away now, I will only
confirm the movement's existence.
23
00:01:20,189 --> 00:01:24,420
However, wouldn't it be
dangerous to stay?
24
00:01:26,507 --> 00:01:30,002
Just in case, arrange for my escape.
25
00:01:30,122 --> 00:01:31,483
Yes.
26
00:01:33,707 --> 00:01:36,428
What will you do?
27
00:01:37,517 --> 00:01:40,081
I shall escape.
28
00:01:40,422 --> 00:01:42,684
Yes, I will arrange for it.
29
00:01:44,254 --> 00:01:48,788
How did it go?
30
00:01:49,187 --> 00:01:51,755
We found out the movement
was planning further action,
31
00:01:51,875 --> 00:01:55,117
and that their leader is Wolya.
32
00:01:55,776 --> 00:02:00,075
We are eradicating all movement
members from the various offices.
33
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:08,762
Your Majesty.
34
00:02:08,882 --> 00:02:12,199
Allow me a suggestion.
35
00:02:12,931 --> 00:02:14,994
If Wolya is the restoration
movement's leader,
36
00:02:15,114 --> 00:02:19,231
it would be wise to investigate
Chief Marshal Yushin's connection with him.
37
00:02:29,260 --> 00:02:33,302
May you accede to our investigation
regarding the Chief Marshal.
38
00:02:48,374 --> 00:02:51,278
They apprehended even His Excellency?
39
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,674
Yes.
40
00:03:04,025 --> 00:03:06,102
He said he will escape.
41
00:03:06,635 --> 00:03:09,098
I will escort him right now.
42
00:03:09,218 --> 00:03:11,230
Take care of yourself.
43
00:03:25,771 --> 00:03:27,134
Where are you bringing him?
44
00:03:27,254 --> 00:03:30,698
I was ordered to escort him
to the Commissioner's office.
45
00:03:46,674 --> 00:03:48,085
Wait!
46
00:03:53,651 --> 00:03:56,065
Where are you escorting him?
47
00:03:56,185 --> 00:04:00,641
I was ordered by the Commissioner
to bring him to his office.
48
00:04:00,935 --> 00:04:03,037
His office?!
49
00:04:04,408 --> 00:04:07,271
Were you ordered by
the Commissioner himself?
50
00:04:07,391 --> 00:04:10,703
Yes, he said to escort him immediately.
51
00:04:10,823 --> 00:04:13,145
Is that so? Right now?
52
00:04:14,796 --> 00:04:16,270
All right.
53
00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:18,221
Go ahead.
54
00:04:22,481 --> 00:04:26,128
The Commissioner is with
Her Majesty as we speak.
55
00:04:26,423 --> 00:04:29,386
Are you a movement member as well?
56
00:04:32,507 --> 00:04:33,575
Boys!
57
00:04:33,695 --> 00:04:34,733
Boys!!
58
00:04:34,853 --> 00:04:36,485
Trail them!
59
00:04:46,065 --> 00:04:48,122
Who is there?
60
00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:53,040
Free the way.
61
00:05:02,565 --> 00:05:04,001
I said get out of my way!
62
00:05:04,121 --> 00:05:05,516
Out!
63
00:05:13,632 --> 00:05:15,188
Trail him!
64
00:05:33,430 --> 00:05:35,748
Here he comes.
65
00:05:36,372 --> 00:05:37,404
Your Excellency!
66
00:05:37,524 --> 00:05:38,911
Quick!
67
00:05:40,877 --> 00:05:42,250
Come on!
68
00:05:59,679 --> 00:06:00,877
Trail them!
69
00:06:24,713 --> 00:06:28,360
Close the gates!
Stop them! Trail them!
70
00:06:54,197 --> 00:06:55,954
Your Majesty.
71
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,001
I humbly request your consent.
72
00:07:04,275 --> 00:07:06,654
Commissioner.
73
00:07:06,774 --> 00:07:07,812
What is the matter?
74
00:07:07,932 --> 00:07:10,233
Wolya and Seolji...
75
00:07:10,353 --> 00:07:12,273
escaped our prisons.
76
00:07:16,970 --> 00:07:18,324
They escaped?!
77
00:07:18,444 --> 00:07:20,408
You're telling me they escaped
from the inspectorate prisons?
78
00:07:20,528 --> 00:07:24,050
There were movement members amongst
inspectorate officers as well.
79
00:07:35,702 --> 00:07:38,860
I hereby...
80
00:07:38,980 --> 00:07:41,718
give you my consent to investigate...
81
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,761
the Chief Marshal.
82
00:08:14,153 --> 00:08:18,811
We deployed observers to the
Commissioner's and Chief Marshal's abodes.
83
00:08:18,931 --> 00:08:25,668
We also strengthened our watch on any
of Yushin's followers ranked above private.
84
00:08:25,788 --> 00:08:29,774
In the vicinity of Seorabeol, there must
be one of their military strongholds.
85
00:08:29,894 --> 00:08:33,308
We will find any of their members
working for the various officers,
86
00:08:33,428 --> 00:08:36,280
and force them to confess its location.
87
00:08:37,792 --> 00:08:39,477
Your Excellency.
88
00:08:39,597 --> 00:08:42,177
What is dominating your thoughts?
89
00:08:43,712 --> 00:08:46,687
Ahh... Never you mind.
90
00:08:46,807 --> 00:08:49,164
Do as you suggested.
91
00:08:49,922 --> 00:08:51,901
- And Yushin?
- Yes...
92
00:08:52,021 --> 00:08:54,436
I brought him to our questioning room.
93
00:08:58,309 --> 00:09:00,583
How could their members
even infiltrate the inspectorate?
94
00:09:00,703 --> 00:09:03,926
How could such nefarious
occurrence befall the palace?
95
00:09:04,046 --> 00:09:06,347
If they so easily found refuge,
it can only suggest that...
96
00:09:06,467 --> 00:09:10,066
the entire palace is
filled with movement spies.
97
00:09:10,852 --> 00:09:14,646
Is Lord Yushin really
fomenting ulterior motives?
98
00:09:14,766 --> 00:09:16,583
There is no way!
99
00:09:16,703 --> 00:09:20,239
Are we not all well aware
of Lord Yushin's fealty?
100
00:09:20,359 --> 00:09:24,140
But, when it comes down to it,
Lord Yushin is of Gaya ancestry.
101
00:09:24,260 --> 00:09:28,530
How can we be sure that
he is not scheming something?
102
00:09:30,684 --> 00:09:34,642
I do not believe that is the real issue.
103
00:09:36,874 --> 00:09:39,802
No matter what Lord Yushin's
intentions are,
104
00:09:39,922 --> 00:09:43,577
what really counts is where the gold
will weigh in the balance of power.
105
00:09:43,697 --> 00:09:45,528
What are you trying to say?
106
00:09:45,648 --> 00:09:46,918
The balance of power?
107
00:09:47,038 --> 00:09:49,462
Lord Yushin and Lord Bidam,
108
00:09:49,582 --> 00:09:53,188
are they not Her Majesty's
right and left-arm men?
109
00:09:55,483 --> 00:10:01,270
But we're facing the
left arm hitting the right.
110
00:10:04,303 --> 00:10:08,450
Is Lord Bidam scheming something, then?
111
00:10:12,237 --> 00:10:14,782
I certainly do not know that.
112
00:10:21,424 --> 00:10:25,782
The restoration movement finally
ended up causing Lord Yushin discomfiture.
113
00:10:25,902 --> 00:10:29,845
Were they really active all this time?
114
00:10:29,965 --> 00:10:32,907
Wasn't Wolya's escape enough to prove that?
115
00:10:33,027 --> 00:10:35,012
You cannot jump to conclusions that way.
116
00:10:35,132 --> 00:10:36,823
Lord Yushin might have
nothing to do with this.
117
00:10:36,943 --> 00:10:39,412
Is he not of Gaya ancestry anyway?
118
00:10:39,532 --> 00:10:42,224
It will not be easy
to prove his innocence.
119
00:10:42,344 --> 00:10:46,624
No matter how close
Lord Bidam and Lord Yushin are,
120
00:10:46,744 --> 00:10:49,782
considering how meticulous
the Commissioner is...
121
00:10:49,902 --> 00:10:54,679
I have a feeling this
will not end so simply.
122
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:57,247
How is the mood at the Board?
123
00:10:57,942 --> 00:11:01,795
The Chief Marshal was
apprehended, how could it be?
124
00:11:01,915 --> 00:11:05,958
As if our relationship with the
inspectorate wasn't tense to begin with.
125
00:11:06,278 --> 00:11:08,299
What? They escaped?!
126
00:11:08,419 --> 00:11:11,935
Spies were amongst inspectorate officers,
and they helped them escape.
127
00:11:12,055 --> 00:11:16,722
Then, were Wolya and Seolji
really in charge of the movement?
128
00:11:16,842 --> 00:11:21,009
It will be hard for Yushin
to avoid being held responsible.
129
00:11:21,129 --> 00:11:25,660
Yes, His Excellency is already
being investigated by the inspectorate.
130
00:11:33,155 --> 00:11:38,281
Not even once have I ever fomented
ulterior motives against Her Majesty.
131
00:11:38,401 --> 00:11:41,308
And you know that just as well as I do.
132
00:11:43,523 --> 00:11:45,651
Ulterior motives...
133
00:11:45,771 --> 00:11:48,811
Ulterior...
134
00:11:49,103 --> 00:11:54,577
Whether you fomented ulterior motives
or not is besides the point.
135
00:11:54,914 --> 00:11:56,225
What are you trying to say?
136
00:11:56,345 --> 00:12:00,210
It is not your wishes,
but the land you possess,
137
00:12:00,330 --> 00:12:04,269
the power figures granting
your status, and their wishes.
138
00:12:05,638 --> 00:12:08,741
That is what matters.
139
00:12:08,861 --> 00:12:11,078
Power figures?!
140
00:12:12,025 --> 00:12:13,352
Power figures?!
141
00:12:13,472 --> 00:12:14,889
"Chief Marshal Yushin,"
142
00:12:15,009 --> 00:12:19,361
that has long stopped
being just an individual's name.
143
00:12:20,570 --> 00:12:24,381
Yes, he represents a
strong sphere of influence.
144
00:12:24,501 --> 00:12:29,319
Trusting an individual and his sphere
of influence are two different issues.
145
00:12:29,439 --> 00:12:33,785
For Yushin to continue
representing Gaya descendants...
146
00:12:33,905 --> 00:12:37,373
will not only be to Yushin's detriment,
but also those Gaya people.
147
00:12:37,493 --> 00:12:41,500
But those same Gaya people
are Yushin's very foundation.
148
00:12:41,620 --> 00:12:45,662
Yushin will never be
able to abandon them.
149
00:12:45,782 --> 00:12:47,126
Never.
150
00:12:54,052 --> 00:12:55,577
What?
151
00:12:55,697 --> 00:12:58,441
Sweep away the movement?
152
00:12:58,561 --> 00:12:59,977
With my own hands?
153
00:13:00,097 --> 00:13:04,560
If you accept,
I will confer with Her Majesty.
154
00:13:04,680 --> 00:13:06,006
Bidam.
155
00:13:06,532 --> 00:13:09,732
You are of Gaya ancestry,
and one of your subordinates...
156
00:13:09,852 --> 00:13:12,809
was revealed to be in charge
of the restoration movement.
157
00:13:13,669 --> 00:13:17,460
Not to mention the fact he
managed to escape the palace.
158
00:13:17,580 --> 00:13:21,171
It is without any doubt a treacherous act.
159
00:13:23,923 --> 00:13:26,995
If you sweep away the entire movement
and bring me Wolya's pate...
160
00:13:27,115 --> 00:13:31,721
Will killing Wolya be enough
to subjugate the movement?
161
00:13:32,216 --> 00:13:34,532
Another leader will come forward.
162
00:13:34,652 --> 00:13:39,847
Also, all the efforts Her Majesty
went through to integrate Gaya descendants...
163
00:13:39,967 --> 00:13:41,531
will go in vain.
164
00:13:41,651 --> 00:13:46,200
And it's not merely because you
fear losing your own foundation?
165
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,169
Bidam!
166
00:13:47,289 --> 00:13:51,863
Don't you know that both Her Majesty
and I have no intention of abandoning you?
167
00:13:53,365 --> 00:13:55,854
You must abandon them.
168
00:13:57,664 --> 00:14:00,996
Abandon Gaya, all your followers,
169
00:14:02,885 --> 00:14:06,313
and start anew, Yushin.
170
00:14:12,504 --> 00:14:16,187
The issue is always the balance of power.
171
00:14:16,881 --> 00:14:18,102
Balance?!
172
00:14:18,222 --> 00:14:22,418
All this time, both Commissioner
Bidam and Chief Marshal Yushin...
173
00:14:22,538 --> 00:14:27,044
have managed to limit each other's
influence, regardless of their intents.
174
00:14:27,164 --> 00:14:29,149
Just as you wished.
175
00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:30,517
But?!
176
00:14:30,637 --> 00:14:34,307
Behind Bidam are Mishil's old
followers and the new associates...
177
00:14:34,427 --> 00:14:38,421
he gained after the
inspectorate's establishment.
178
00:14:38,541 --> 00:14:44,132
And we also cannot forget many
lesser nobles' ties with Bidam.
179
00:14:44,779 --> 00:14:47,031
Yushin's downfall...
180
00:14:47,151 --> 00:14:50,553
and the disruption of this balance...
181
00:14:50,673 --> 00:14:56,319
would only mean more and more
lesser nobles would side with Bidam.
182
00:14:58,061 --> 00:15:01,703
Just like the conflict between Yushin's
intentions and those of his followers,
183
00:15:01,823 --> 00:15:05,051
the same could eventually
happen for Bidam.
184
00:15:05,171 --> 00:15:08,639
So should I just accept
the movement's existence?
185
00:15:08,759 --> 00:15:11,818
I do not have an answer for that.
186
00:15:11,938 --> 00:15:15,243
Can't you distinguish
between right and wrong?
187
00:15:15,363 --> 00:15:16,963
Or are you just concerned
about the aftermath of any decision?
188
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:18,525
The more knowledge I muster,
189
00:15:18,645 --> 00:15:21,451
the more ambiguous shadows
right and wrong assume.
190
00:15:21,571 --> 00:15:23,650
And that is because depending upon
circumstances and points of view,
191
00:15:23,770 --> 00:15:26,260
such judgment can only change.
192
00:15:26,380 --> 00:15:30,114
But focusing on the state
of things is much different.
193
00:15:30,234 --> 00:15:33,554
Such judgment can never fail you.
194
00:15:35,504 --> 00:15:37,782
What is it you want to suggest?
195
00:15:37,902 --> 00:15:43,583
You can neither act against
Yushin nor against his followers.
196
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,223
What happened with Yushin?
197
00:16:05,343 --> 00:16:07,422
Yushin knows nothing.
198
00:16:07,542 --> 00:16:11,804
Wolya seemed to be leading
the movement unbeknownst to him.
199
00:16:12,222 --> 00:16:14,369
Then, this is serious.
200
00:16:14,489 --> 00:16:16,591
It will be hard to find him now.
201
00:16:17,678 --> 00:16:19,678
When I was still dealing with espionage,
202
00:16:19,798 --> 00:16:22,492
finding the movement was
always the most arduous of tasks.
203
00:16:22,612 --> 00:16:26,263
If they start hiding underground,
we will never capture them.
204
00:16:26,642 --> 00:16:28,116
Capture?!
205
00:16:29,295 --> 00:16:31,939
And who ever mentioned that?
206
00:16:33,367 --> 00:16:35,373
The movement...
207
00:16:43,463 --> 00:16:45,081
Shoot.
208
00:16:52,557 --> 00:16:53,766
Shoot.
209
00:17:07,269 --> 00:17:10,721
It is a list of all the remaining members.
210
00:17:10,841 --> 00:17:15,686
So these are all the members
remaining in the palace?
211
00:17:15,806 --> 00:17:20,697
Once they begin to ferret out our
members, the numbers will decrease.
212
00:17:20,817 --> 00:17:24,733
Even if nine members out of ten
are removed, I don't care.
213
00:17:24,853 --> 00:17:27,240
We only need what's
remaining to survive.
214
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:28,629
Yes.
215
00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:32,783
But this is putting Lord Yushin
in a direful situation.
216
00:17:33,801 --> 00:17:38,897
Considering how we escaped,
it is like acknowledging his involvement.
217
00:17:40,033 --> 00:17:45,104
Lord Yushin might have been
apprehended by the inspectorate already.
218
00:17:45,668 --> 00:17:50,868
Of course he knows nothing
which would bring us harm.
219
00:17:52,553 --> 00:17:55,422
But with Lord Yushin
in such direful position...
220
00:17:55,542 --> 00:17:57,865
That is exactly why...
221
00:17:57,985 --> 00:18:00,366
we escaped.
222
00:18:00,686 --> 00:18:01,865
What?
223
00:18:07,833 --> 00:18:09,433
Commissioner.
224
00:18:09,553 --> 00:18:12,482
What are you talking about?
225
00:18:13,096 --> 00:18:16,017
You're not capturing them,
the movement?
226
00:18:16,137 --> 00:18:18,207
We might do so,
227
00:18:18,327 --> 00:18:19,807
or maybe not.
228
00:18:19,927 --> 00:18:22,327
What are you thinking?
229
00:18:22,447 --> 00:18:24,721
Why do you think Wolya escaped?
230
00:18:24,841 --> 00:18:27,795
Must be because he was the
movement's leader, what else?!
231
00:18:27,915 --> 00:18:31,284
Then, that would instantly put
Yushin in a difficult situation.
232
00:18:31,404 --> 00:18:33,814
Just to gain his own survival,
it's understandable.
233
00:18:33,934 --> 00:18:37,288
Wolya secretly fostered Yushin
and the movement at the same time.
234
00:18:37,408 --> 00:18:39,877
Merely for the sake of Gaya.
235
00:18:39,997 --> 00:18:44,444
As we suspected, his ultimate goal
was a ruler of Gaya descent.
236
00:18:44,891 --> 00:18:47,207
Then... who could it be?
237
00:18:47,327 --> 00:18:49,502
It can't be...
238
00:18:49,622 --> 00:18:50,807
Yushin?!
239
00:18:50,927 --> 00:18:54,126
Of course he must have refused it.
240
00:18:54,246 --> 00:18:56,989
That I can believe.
He did so.
241
00:18:57,109 --> 00:18:59,834
I am sure he did.
242
00:19:00,505 --> 00:19:04,867
But if Wolya continued to stress that,
243
00:19:05,449 --> 00:19:08,417
conflict between the two
would inevitably arise.
244
00:19:08,537 --> 00:19:13,561
Yushin would continue ignoring him,
just as Gaya people continue to pressure Wolya.
245
00:19:13,813 --> 00:19:19,981
But... despite knowing Yushin
would fall into a direful situation,
246
00:19:20,564 --> 00:19:22,627
they still escaped?
247
00:19:22,747 --> 00:19:25,351
What could the reason be?
248
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:30,092
Doesn't the question
give you the answer right away?
249
00:19:30,733 --> 00:19:32,733
What?
250
00:19:32,853 --> 00:19:37,069
You escaped on purpose to force
this situation upon Lord Yushin?!
251
00:19:37,189 --> 00:19:41,870
Just out of fealty for Her Majesty,
Yushin kept refusing his future on the throne.
252
00:19:43,267 --> 00:19:46,446
But the movement has
been exposed, and we escaped.
253
00:19:46,566 --> 00:19:49,004
For his Gaya ancestry, they are
fomenting suspicion against him,
254
00:19:49,124 --> 00:19:50,541
and he will eventually be questioned.
255
00:19:50,661 --> 00:19:52,551
Then...
256
00:19:52,930 --> 00:19:56,814
Was it to change Lord Yushin's heart...
257
00:19:57,741 --> 00:20:01,844
Yushin is not the kind of man
who would change so easily.
258
00:20:01,964 --> 00:20:06,266
However, should the situation
make that change a necessity,
259
00:20:06,386 --> 00:20:09,907
if his only choice continues
that of becoming King himself...
260
00:20:10,027 --> 00:20:11,592
Then...
261
00:20:12,553 --> 00:20:15,037
For that situation, you mean...
262
00:20:15,157 --> 00:20:17,280
Indeed.
263
00:20:19,496 --> 00:20:23,506
The situation must further deteriorate.
264
00:20:23,626 --> 00:20:25,601
Say what?
265
00:20:25,721 --> 00:20:27,749
Worsen the situation?!
266
00:20:28,044 --> 00:20:32,351
The only way for Wolya to fulfill his goals...
267
00:20:33,341 --> 00:20:37,214
is to force Yushin
into a corner in this manner.
268
00:20:37,334 --> 00:20:42,114
Then, Wolya's next move...
269
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:47,883
We must now help Yushin escape.
270
00:20:48,325 --> 00:20:52,628
If he escapes while he's being
investigated by the inspectorate,
271
00:20:53,705 --> 00:20:56,336
he will instantly be accused of treason.
272
00:20:56,456 --> 00:21:00,505
And would Lord Yushin's
disposition allow that?
273
00:21:00,625 --> 00:21:04,409
Even if we manage to help him escape,
would he just silently allow it?
274
00:21:04,767 --> 00:21:07,714
He would try to slay me.
275
00:21:07,834 --> 00:21:10,760
However, what really matters...
276
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,056
is that, if he successfully
manages to escape,
277
00:21:13,176 --> 00:21:18,512
Yushin will never be able to come back.
278
00:21:22,393 --> 00:21:24,110
Exactly.
279
00:21:25,109 --> 00:21:28,204
Wolya's next move will be
trying to help Yushin escape.
280
00:21:28,324 --> 00:21:33,102
If Yushin escapes with the help
of the restoration movement,
281
00:21:34,073 --> 00:21:37,652
then he would unquestionably
be responsible for treason!
282
00:21:37,772 --> 00:21:41,905
And wouldn't that be a way
for Wolya to gain Yushin?
283
00:21:42,025 --> 00:21:43,529
Yes!
284
00:21:43,649 --> 00:21:46,287
It is certainly a possibility.
285
00:21:46,407 --> 00:21:50,072
But what is truly interesting...
286
00:21:50,192 --> 00:21:52,717
is that what Wolya wishes for...
287
00:21:52,837 --> 00:21:57,202
might just be the same as what I want.
288
00:22:48,095 --> 00:22:51,491
I will give you all the troops you need.
289
00:22:51,843 --> 00:22:54,262
Bring me Wolya's head.
290
00:22:57,319 --> 00:23:05,877
If I do so, all your efforts to integrate
Gaya people will be rendered fruitless.
291
00:23:08,968 --> 00:23:14,020
Think of how much effort you
dedicated to Gaya descendants.
292
00:23:14,140 --> 00:23:18,464
But must you turn your back on them,
293
00:23:18,584 --> 00:23:21,054
and make all those achievements vanish?
294
00:23:21,174 --> 00:23:25,415
If I don't, I will lose you.
295
00:23:29,626 --> 00:23:35,576
Don't you see how the same
situation is repeating itself?
296
00:23:36,278 --> 00:23:37,626
Yes.
297
00:23:37,746 --> 00:23:41,923
Back then, it was having to
abandon Gaya to fight Mishil.
298
00:23:42,043 --> 00:23:46,892
It is only because you overcame
such challenge that I am here.
299
00:23:47,012 --> 00:23:49,533
No matter what, you must
embrace Gaya people as your own.
300
00:23:49,653 --> 00:23:51,007
And I will.
301
00:23:51,127 --> 00:23:56,628
However, this country's ruler shall
never embrace the restoration movement.
302
00:23:56,748 --> 00:24:02,020
Even if you behead Wolya, a successor
will instantly take his place.
303
00:24:02,140 --> 00:24:06,928
And their vengeful vim
would only exacerbate,
304
00:24:07,048 --> 00:24:12,079
while Gaya people will
rally behind the movement.
305
00:24:12,638 --> 00:24:15,670
They suffered eighty years of mistreatment.
306
00:24:15,790 --> 00:24:20,694
They need more time to
accept you as their ruler.
307
00:24:22,135 --> 00:24:24,514
It is not something that power can solve.
308
00:24:24,634 --> 00:24:28,472
All you can do is embrace them.
309
00:24:28,592 --> 00:24:31,064
Is Gaya all you're concerned about?
310
00:24:31,184 --> 00:24:34,243
Doesn't your own safety
concern you in the slightest?
311
00:24:34,363 --> 00:24:35,548
Also...
312
00:24:40,766 --> 00:24:42,576
How about me?
313
00:24:49,771 --> 00:24:51,792
As your humble servant...
314
00:24:51,912 --> 00:24:55,581
failed to fulfill his duties
and control his subordinates,
315
00:24:55,701 --> 00:25:00,210
I will gleefully accept any responsibility.
316
00:25:01,154 --> 00:25:05,870
Demotion, confiscation,
depriving me of my post...
317
00:25:05,990 --> 00:25:09,386
I will accept any punishment
you deem necessary.
318
00:25:11,008 --> 00:25:13,787
You may abandon me,
319
00:25:13,907 --> 00:25:18,548
but you must embrace Gaya
at all cost, Your Majesty!
320
00:25:49,312 --> 00:25:52,206
The Commissioner seeks audience.
321
00:26:05,089 --> 00:26:07,371
Did you meet Yushin?
322
00:26:11,005 --> 00:26:14,631
Because of the movement,
the palace is in tumult.
323
00:26:14,751 --> 00:26:19,090
Someone must be held
responsible for all this.
324
00:26:20,883 --> 00:26:21,704
Your Majesty.
325
00:26:21,824 --> 00:26:23,136
Yushin...
326
00:26:24,784 --> 00:26:26,678
is innocent.
327
00:26:26,798 --> 00:26:29,882
He has no relation with the movement.
328
00:26:32,089 --> 00:26:36,744
Yes, I believe so myself.
329
00:26:36,864 --> 00:26:41,328
The movement was led by Wolya alone.
330
00:26:42,386 --> 00:26:48,028
However, not all courtiers
will believe as such.
331
00:26:48,344 --> 00:26:50,302
It is most regrettable for me as well,
332
00:26:50,422 --> 00:26:53,923
and I do know how hard all this is on you...
333
00:26:54,043 --> 00:26:57,363
You know it so well,
334
00:26:57,483 --> 00:27:02,837
so how could Yushin not be aware of it?
335
00:27:06,416 --> 00:27:11,931
Is Yushin truly incognizant
of how hard this is for me?
336
00:27:18,211 --> 00:27:20,653
How disheartening.
337
00:27:20,773 --> 00:27:25,095
What disheartenment Yushin is bringing me.
338
00:27:32,844 --> 00:27:36,107
Moving Lord Yushin out of the palace?!
339
00:27:36,227 --> 00:27:39,615
Once they learn of the transfer,
they'll use it to help him escape.
340
00:27:39,735 --> 00:27:43,965
Aren't movement spies still
amongst inspectorate officers?
341
00:27:44,085 --> 00:27:47,473
That is exactly what we will exploit.
342
00:27:49,150 --> 00:27:51,381
After announcing the transfer,
343
00:27:51,501 --> 00:27:55,171
we will entrust it
exactly to movement spies.
344
00:27:55,291 --> 00:27:57,445
The movement will naturally emerge,
345
00:27:57,565 --> 00:28:00,221
and we will be there to
apprehend them when it happens.
346
00:28:00,341 --> 00:28:02,009
What a stratagem!
347
00:28:02,129 --> 00:28:05,019
I knew your strategy was peerless!
348
00:28:05,139 --> 00:28:07,314
An anti-espionage ruse?!
349
00:28:07,434 --> 00:28:09,461
Anti what?
350
00:28:09,581 --> 00:28:13,455
Seems like you're in the
mood for scheming again?
351
00:28:13,575 --> 00:28:14,887
Uh?!
352
00:28:15,708 --> 00:28:18,045
It's Lord Seolwon, all right!
353
00:28:18,165 --> 00:28:22,339
Just as remarkable
as you've always been!
354
00:28:23,203 --> 00:28:25,056
Lord Hajong.
355
00:28:25,176 --> 00:28:28,206
Why are you drinking again?
356
00:28:28,572 --> 00:28:31,593
Since the bottle can't drink me,
357
00:28:31,713 --> 00:28:35,503
I am forced to drink it myself.
358
00:28:36,134 --> 00:28:37,292
Hyungnim.
359
00:28:37,412 --> 00:28:39,082
Show some composure,
360
00:28:39,202 --> 00:28:41,346
the Commissioner will be here soon.
361
00:28:41,945 --> 00:28:43,566
The Commissioner?!
362
00:28:43,686 --> 00:28:47,552
The one enjoying such
formidable influence, you mean?
363
00:28:47,672 --> 00:28:49,616
You knave, go look outside!
364
00:28:49,736 --> 00:28:52,436
Afraid they might be accused
of being a movement spy,
365
00:28:52,556 --> 00:28:55,881
the moment they see any of their
officers, the shivering starts!
366
00:28:57,864 --> 00:28:59,232
Also...
367
00:28:59,352 --> 00:29:03,127
Since their influence has grown
even more because of the movement,
368
00:29:03,247 --> 00:29:06,205
shouldn't they reward them instead?
369
00:29:06,325 --> 00:29:09,051
Uh? Isn't that right?
370
00:29:12,311 --> 00:29:13,616
Lord Hajong!
371
00:29:13,736 --> 00:29:15,714
Give it a rest.
372
00:29:19,271 --> 00:29:21,484
Your Excellency.
373
00:29:24,450 --> 00:29:26,194
Here you are.
374
00:29:29,549 --> 00:29:36,791
I was just devising a plan to
reward the restoration movement.
375
00:29:36,911 --> 00:29:38,693
Ever since this movement ordeal began,
376
00:29:38,813 --> 00:29:44,398
{\a6}*Power-seeking Hindu demons
**Buddhist demons
377
00:29:38,813 --> 00:29:44,398
we quickly became as feared
as asura* or rakshasa**!
378
00:29:44,518 --> 00:29:46,302
Those fools...
379
00:29:46,886 --> 00:29:48,723
Hyungnim!
380
00:29:49,349 --> 00:29:51,234
That is enough.
381
00:29:51,939 --> 00:29:53,475
There is no need.
382
00:29:53,595 --> 00:29:55,967
I actually think it is a clever proposal.
383
00:29:56,907 --> 00:30:00,395
Lord Hajong and I seem to think the same.
384
00:30:00,515 --> 00:30:03,394
I plan to reward the restoration movement.
385
00:30:07,802 --> 00:30:11,612
Who did you say were the
movement spies in our ranks?
386
00:30:11,732 --> 00:30:14,454
Gisun, Pyeonguk, Jeongman,
three men in total.
387
00:30:14,574 --> 00:30:17,021
But we did not apprehend them as of yet.
388
00:30:17,507 --> 00:30:20,764
Order those three to transfer Yushin.
389
00:30:20,884 --> 00:30:22,153
What?
390
00:30:26,827 --> 00:30:29,721
Are you trying to inveigle the movement?
391
00:30:30,469 --> 00:30:31,816
I am not.
392
00:30:31,936 --> 00:30:33,648
Did I not tell you?
393
00:30:33,768 --> 00:30:35,585
That I will instead reward them.
394
00:30:35,705 --> 00:30:38,637
Then, that reward...
395
00:30:38,757 --> 00:30:40,969
is Yushin?
396
00:30:42,131 --> 00:30:46,931
The movement's existence
is still beneficial to us.
397
00:30:48,931 --> 00:30:53,791
And Yushin would cross
a bridge of no return.
398
00:31:21,656 --> 00:31:23,514
They're transferring Yushin?!
399
00:31:23,634 --> 00:31:26,114
- Outside the palace?
- Yes.
400
00:31:26,234 --> 00:31:31,514
As we speak, inspectorate officers
are escorting Lord Yushin out.
401
00:31:32,782 --> 00:31:34,971
All of a sudden, why...
402
00:31:35,091 --> 00:31:37,898
Have you forgotten Lord Wolya's escape?
403
00:31:38,018 --> 00:31:40,382
Not knowing the full extent
of the movement's infiltration,
404
00:31:40,502 --> 00:31:42,729
they can't even trust the inspectorate.
405
00:31:42,849 --> 00:31:46,497
So they are moving him
to a more secret location,
406
00:31:46,617 --> 00:31:49,028
I've heard.
407
00:31:50,771 --> 00:31:52,329
How many of them?
408
00:31:52,449 --> 00:31:53,545
What?
409
00:31:53,665 --> 00:31:55,355
How many what?
410
00:31:55,475 --> 00:31:57,545
How many troops are escorting him?
411
00:31:57,665 --> 00:32:00,050
Yes...
About... ten men?
412
00:32:00,170 --> 00:32:02,825
If you were the movement,
wouldn't you try to rescue Yushin...
413
00:32:02,945 --> 00:32:05,603
right as he's being transferred?
414
00:32:05,723 --> 00:32:08,472
Yes... I suppose I would.
415
00:32:09,183 --> 00:32:13,307
But, ten troops?!
416
00:32:17,887 --> 00:32:20,550
Ahh... Then...
417
00:32:21,740 --> 00:32:25,968
They are trying to inveigle
the movement on purpose, and...
418
00:32:26,599 --> 00:32:28,599
Might be the case.
419
00:32:28,719 --> 00:32:30,784
However,
420
00:32:30,904 --> 00:32:33,619
if that wasn't their intent...
421
00:32:33,739 --> 00:32:35,577
If it wasn't...
422
00:33:07,478 --> 00:33:09,187
What are you doing?
423
00:33:37,211 --> 00:33:38,705
We came to your rescue, Your Excellency.
424
00:33:38,825 --> 00:33:40,053
What do you think you're doing?
425
00:33:40,173 --> 00:33:42,516
There is no time, let us hasten!
426
00:33:42,636 --> 00:33:44,390
Wolya... Where is Wolya?
427
00:33:44,510 --> 00:33:47,773
We must leave! Ask us later!
428
00:33:48,222 --> 00:33:50,664
Now! Let us leave now!
429
00:34:09,229 --> 00:34:10,881
You, there!
430
00:34:17,836 --> 00:34:19,120
Yes, Lord Chunchu.
431
00:34:19,240 --> 00:34:22,762
We were summoned urgently, so...
432
00:34:23,069 --> 00:34:24,801
What is the matter?
433
00:34:24,921 --> 00:34:28,001
Ahh... I... must apologize.
434
00:34:28,121 --> 00:34:31,855
I am not allowed to disclose
inspectorate matters.
435
00:34:32,390 --> 00:34:33,969
By any chance...
436
00:34:34,643 --> 00:34:37,064
Did Yushin escape?
437
00:34:37,359 --> 00:34:38,917
How did you know?
438
00:34:39,037 --> 00:34:40,405
Ai...Aigoo...
439
00:34:41,731 --> 00:34:44,352
I am not supposed to mention that.
440
00:34:47,205 --> 00:34:49,011
Commissioner.
441
00:34:55,211 --> 00:34:57,232
It went just as planned.
442
00:34:57,352 --> 00:34:59,373
Well done.
443
00:34:59,493 --> 00:35:03,609
By now, Her Majesty should be
cognizant of the matter.
444
00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:05,975
How could that happen?
445
00:35:06,095 --> 00:35:07,512
Yes, I...
446
00:35:07,632 --> 00:35:10,565
As they were transferring Lord Yushin,
447
00:35:10,685 --> 00:35:12,654
on the way, they just...
448
00:35:12,774 --> 00:35:17,096
But it seems like the inspectorate
officers in charge of transferring him...
449
00:35:17,216 --> 00:35:20,129
were movement spies.
450
00:35:20,949 --> 00:35:23,791
Three of them were members,
451
00:35:23,911 --> 00:35:26,339
so it was only natural
something like this would happen.
452
00:35:26,459 --> 00:35:28,959
How many members
could they possibly have,
453
00:35:29,079 --> 00:35:33,959
to find three of their people amongst
those entrusted with the transfer?
454
00:35:34,079 --> 00:35:36,043
How could something like this happen?
455
00:35:36,163 --> 00:35:40,253
Yes, I myself was...
456
00:35:44,754 --> 00:35:45,912
Bidam...
457
00:35:46,881 --> 00:35:48,653
What?
458
00:35:48,773 --> 00:35:49,639
Bidam.
459
00:35:50,565 --> 00:35:52,441
Where is Bidam?
460
00:35:53,196 --> 00:35:57,726
She will have to proclaim Chief
Marshal Yushin as an enemy of the state.
461
00:35:57,846 --> 00:36:02,502
Yes. There is no witness who
can confirm their involvement,
462
00:36:02,622 --> 00:36:04,850
but since movement members came
to his rescue killing those guards,
463
00:36:04,970 --> 00:36:06,682
now it is evident.
464
00:36:06,802 --> 00:36:09,855
It is a point of no return.
465
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,303
There is nothing he can do
to rectify this situation.
466
00:36:14,423 --> 00:36:15,577
Yes...
467
00:36:15,697 --> 00:36:20,230
What better evidence than that?
468
00:36:20,714 --> 00:36:24,925
Anyhow, a masterful stratagem indeed.
469
00:36:25,045 --> 00:36:27,146
Remarkable.
470
00:36:30,899 --> 00:36:33,636
Did you arrange for that?
471
00:36:33,756 --> 00:36:34,794
Yes.
472
00:36:34,914 --> 00:36:38,949
Uncle Misaeng will organize
a meeting in the eventide.
473
00:36:45,658 --> 00:36:50,201
~ Yeomjong's residence ~
474
00:37:11,343 --> 00:37:13,996
Commissioner Bidam graces us
with his presence.
475
00:37:14,116 --> 00:37:15,933
May you all rise.
476
00:37:34,849 --> 00:37:40,406
Seeing you all answer my summoning
whelms me with gratitude.
477
00:37:42,052 --> 00:37:45,842
The movement's activity has brought
a serious crisis to our nation.
478
00:37:45,962 --> 00:37:47,800
Not to mention the fact that
one of our illustrious heroes,
479
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,378
Yushin, has been found to be
involved with their dealings.
480
00:37:50,498 --> 00:37:54,505
How could this occurrence not
be considered utterly deplorable?
481
00:37:55,726 --> 00:37:59,452
Chief Marshal Yushin and
his subordinates Wolya and Seolji,
482
00:37:59,572 --> 00:38:03,550
and the shocking revelation the Board
of Military Affairs was their stronghold.
483
00:38:03,670 --> 00:38:07,536
As Commissioner of the Royal Inspectorate,
I feel gravely responsible for this all.
484
00:38:20,457 --> 00:38:24,015
Wouldn't it be particularly
in times of need such as these...
485
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:27,947
that our nation should request
your most strenuous efforts?
486
00:38:28,398 --> 00:38:32,611
Hence, I shall take this opportunity
to reshuffle and better organize...
487
00:38:32,731 --> 00:38:35,467
every single board in the palace.
488
00:38:40,126 --> 00:38:45,435
Lord Jujin, I must entrust you
the Board of Military Affairs.
489
00:38:45,555 --> 00:38:47,606
Would you accept the
position of new Commissioner?
490
00:38:47,726 --> 00:38:50,415
I shall strongly
suggest it to Her Majesty.
491
00:38:53,079 --> 00:38:56,354
Your commendation
whelms me with gratitude.
492
00:38:57,819 --> 00:39:00,851
In the morrow, a court
meeting shall take place.
493
00:39:00,971 --> 00:39:06,469
You must all stress to Her Majesty
how critical this situation is.
494
00:39:07,381 --> 00:39:09,423
If you do so,
495
00:39:09,543 --> 00:39:14,326
I shall never forget your
devotion to our country's cause.
496
00:39:50,767 --> 00:39:53,520
He is a treacherous villain!
497
00:39:54,198 --> 00:39:57,881
Chief Marshal Yushin used the
Board to foster private guards...
498
00:39:58,001 --> 00:40:00,450
to be used by the movement, did he not?
499
00:40:00,570 --> 00:40:03,418
Not to mention the fact he
defied our codes by murdering...
500
00:40:03,538 --> 00:40:06,396
officers of the inspectorate, and escaped.
501
00:40:06,516 --> 00:40:09,020
This is an unquestionable act of treason.
502
00:40:09,140 --> 00:40:11,996
Remarkable achievements
might adorn his legacy,
503
00:40:12,116 --> 00:40:14,882
but they cannot take
precedence over this matter.
504
00:40:20,307 --> 00:40:21,528
Your Majesty.
505
00:40:21,648 --> 00:40:26,177
May you proclaim Chief Marshal Yushin
as an enemy of the state.
506
00:40:28,152 --> 00:40:33,373
Also, we cannot possibly entrust
the Board to his father, Lord Seohyeon.
507
00:40:33,586 --> 00:40:37,390
Depriving him of his position
would be wise, Your Majesty.
508
00:40:37,510 --> 00:40:40,894
Yes, I also strongly suggest the
removal of any Gaya descendant...
509
00:40:41,014 --> 00:40:43,421
from any influential post.
510
00:40:43,541 --> 00:40:44,684
They are traitors.
511
00:40:44,804 --> 00:40:47,421
- May you proclaim him as enemy of the state.
- I concur.
512
00:40:47,541 --> 00:40:49,700
Your Majesty, we request your consent.
513
00:40:49,820 --> 00:40:51,805
May you accede to it, Your Majesty.
514
00:40:51,925 --> 00:40:53,643
We strongly suggest
you dismiss them from office.
515
00:40:53,763 --> 00:40:56,471
- Your Majesty, give us your consent.
- Your Majesty.
516
00:41:08,087 --> 00:41:09,521
Wolya.
517
00:41:11,794 --> 00:41:14,405
How could you do this to me?
518
00:41:14,525 --> 00:41:16,131
I apologize for deceiving you.
519
00:41:16,251 --> 00:41:17,352
Apologize?!
520
00:41:17,472 --> 00:41:18,891
Apologize?
521
00:41:19,668 --> 00:41:20,950
Your Excellency...
522
00:41:22,594 --> 00:41:25,163
You two come from the same mold!
523
00:41:25,283 --> 00:41:28,236
I always treated you with the
utmost sincerity and kindness.
524
00:41:28,356 --> 00:41:29,668
Confederacy?!
525
00:41:29,788 --> 00:41:31,366
Is this what you call a confederacy?
526
00:41:31,486 --> 00:41:34,629
Where would you find such
a mendacious union like this?
527
00:41:34,749 --> 00:41:36,566
We are dealing with over
six hundred thousand lives!
528
00:41:36,686 --> 00:41:37,913
Yushin...
529
00:41:38,033 --> 00:41:40,524
You have a son yourself,
so you must know how it feels.
530
00:41:40,644 --> 00:41:42,756
A single life has that much weight,
531
00:41:42,876 --> 00:41:45,282
but Gaya people
are no less than 600,000.
532
00:41:45,402 --> 00:41:46,651
And?
533
00:41:46,771 --> 00:41:49,661
All those people represent
the weight on our shoulders.
534
00:41:49,781 --> 00:41:53,167
And the suffering those
600,000 people have endured...
535
00:41:53,287 --> 00:41:55,482
lasted for eighty years.
536
00:41:55,602 --> 00:41:58,367
I had to be prepared for anything.
537
00:41:58,487 --> 00:42:01,370
Are you ignoring all the benevolence
Her Majesty has shown for Gaya?
538
00:42:01,490 --> 00:42:03,644
Was Her Majesty ever
negligent towards Gaya?
539
00:42:03,764 --> 00:42:06,626
Will Her Majesty's reign last forever?
540
00:42:06,746 --> 00:42:11,622
And can you guarantee she
will never have a change of heart?
541
00:42:11,742 --> 00:42:13,989
If it was only up to me,
I would happily trust her.
542
00:42:14,109 --> 00:42:18,377
But if whom I alone believe in
turns her back on us,
543
00:42:18,497 --> 00:42:22,364
the lives of six hundred thousand
people will be at risk.
544
00:42:25,076 --> 00:42:28,928
I never fomented ulterior
motives against Her Majesty.
545
00:42:29,048 --> 00:42:32,041
I merely prepared to cope with anything.
546
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,795
And what will you do now?
547
00:42:34,915 --> 00:42:38,058
Gaya's problems have only one answer.
548
00:42:38,178 --> 00:42:41,026
And that is someone of
Gaya descent on the throne.
549
00:42:41,146 --> 00:42:44,395
And that... would be me?
550
00:42:44,515 --> 00:42:45,892
You must be the one.
551
00:42:46,012 --> 00:42:48,987
How many times did I tell you
I have no intention to do so?
552
00:42:49,107 --> 00:42:50,776
And that will never change!
553
00:42:50,896 --> 00:42:52,755
Your heart might not change,
554
00:42:52,875 --> 00:42:55,909
but situations do!
555
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,400
What are you trying to say?
556
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:02,031
Lord Yushin, you have crossed
the bridge of no return.
557
00:43:04,031 --> 00:43:06,920
Your subordinates were
exposed as movement spies,
558
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,068
you escaped with their help,
559
00:43:09,188 --> 00:43:12,562
and you already are a traitor,
560
00:43:12,682 --> 00:43:14,843
an enemy of the state.
561
00:43:18,618 --> 00:43:20,534
Make up your mind.
562
00:43:20,829 --> 00:43:23,123
All our troops are ready.
563
00:43:23,243 --> 00:43:24,787
Yes, Lord Yushin!
564
00:43:24,907 --> 00:43:28,186
You enjoy unrivaled popularity both
in the Board and all other offices.
565
00:43:28,306 --> 00:43:29,996
If you come forward...
566
00:43:30,116 --> 00:43:31,807
Do not even think about it!
567
00:43:31,927 --> 00:43:35,032
Then, what are you going to do?
568
00:43:36,108 --> 00:43:39,919
Together, let us return.
569
00:43:40,039 --> 00:43:42,698
Disband the movement for real,
570
00:43:42,818 --> 00:43:44,677
accept any due punishment,
571
00:43:44,797 --> 00:43:46,864
and let us start anew as Shilla people!
572
00:43:46,984 --> 00:43:49,496
How could you say
something so irresponsible?
573
00:43:49,616 --> 00:43:52,531
Think it would be even possible?
574
00:44:08,522 --> 00:44:11,786
There is no way Yushin could
have fostered the movement.
575
00:44:11,906 --> 00:44:15,196
I am aware of that more than anybody.
576
00:44:15,316 --> 00:44:17,204
And Her Majesty certainly
knows that as well.
577
00:44:17,324 --> 00:44:19,336
However...
578
00:44:19,814 --> 00:44:22,278
The movement even helped Yushin escape,
579
00:44:22,398 --> 00:44:24,551
so they already are traitors.
580
00:44:24,671 --> 00:44:28,720
Yushin can no longer go back.
581
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:34,417
Then, are you saying that he can
only join forces with the movement?
582
00:44:34,537 --> 00:44:39,338
Is this what fate bestowed upon Gaya?
583
00:44:39,458 --> 00:44:43,812
So much effort was spent over decades.
584
00:44:47,948 --> 00:44:49,276
Your Excellency.
585
00:44:49,396 --> 00:44:51,318
How could this happen?
586
00:44:51,438 --> 00:44:54,202
Be it Gaya or the movement,
587
00:44:54,322 --> 00:44:58,518
His Excellency has sacrificed his
life for the sake of our nation!
588
00:44:58,638 --> 00:45:00,404
But how could this...
589
00:45:00,524 --> 00:45:04,762
Lord Yushin cannot be involved
with the movement, can he?
590
00:45:04,882 --> 00:45:06,425
What are you saying?
591
00:45:06,545 --> 00:45:08,340
Are you suspecting the Chief Marshal?
592
00:45:08,460 --> 00:45:10,510
I am just concerned about him!
593
00:45:10,630 --> 00:45:14,931
If only to prove his innocence,
Lord Yushin must return now.
594
00:45:15,051 --> 00:45:18,531
Even if he does return,
it will mean the end for him.
595
00:45:18,651 --> 00:45:20,229
Is he not an enemy of the state now?
596
00:45:20,349 --> 00:45:22,397
Still, are we supposed
to let all this happen...
597
00:45:22,517 --> 00:45:24,777
without moving a finger?
598
00:45:27,281 --> 00:45:29,035
Ehh!
599
00:45:38,693 --> 00:45:40,999
Just a moment!
600
00:45:42,293 --> 00:45:44,125
Where are we headed,
601
00:45:44,245 --> 00:45:46,441
Your Excellency?
602
00:45:46,561 --> 00:45:49,162
To the privy, why?
603
00:45:56,009 --> 00:45:59,567
Why, care to join me?
604
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:04,761
Fine! Let us go together
and do it in a group! Uh?!
605
00:46:22,928 --> 00:46:24,186
Your Majesty.
606
00:46:25,554 --> 00:46:31,044
I believe all the courtiers and
most officials concur on this matter.
607
00:46:33,617 --> 00:46:36,175
I myself think it is most regrettable,
608
00:46:36,295 --> 00:46:39,396
but this is a matter of national security.
609
00:46:39,516 --> 00:46:45,038
Hence, I should proclaim Yushin
as an enemy of the state?!
610
00:46:45,158 --> 00:46:47,439
On the day before your enthronement,
611
00:46:47,559 --> 00:46:50,408
you talked with me about
what makes a great ruler.
612
00:46:50,528 --> 00:46:52,451
Do you recall?
613
00:47:01,639 --> 00:47:03,471
A great... ruler?
614
00:47:03,591 --> 00:47:05,358
That is what I believe.
615
00:47:05,478 --> 00:47:07,758
Being severe upon one's closest confidants,
616
00:47:07,878 --> 00:47:09,632
and generous and kind with one's people...
617
00:47:09,752 --> 00:47:11,779
is what makes a great ruler.
618
00:47:11,899 --> 00:47:14,874
Then, only reserving kindness
for their followers...
619
00:47:14,994 --> 00:47:16,940
and showing cruelty to their people...
620
00:47:17,060 --> 00:47:19,150
is what makes a despot, I suppose?!
621
00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:20,708
Seems like it.
622
00:47:20,828 --> 00:47:23,508
If you only and always
show generosity to everyone,
623
00:47:23,628 --> 00:47:25,993
that will soil your rule in incompetence.
624
00:47:26,113 --> 00:47:28,652
I understand, Your Highness.
625
00:47:28,772 --> 00:47:30,613
Ahh... No...
626
00:47:30,733 --> 00:47:34,193
Now it will have to be "Your Majesty."
627
00:47:34,313 --> 00:47:39,852
Yes, since Your Majesty will
be strict and severe with me,
628
00:47:40,119 --> 00:47:43,844
you wanted me to be
prepared for it, right?
629
00:47:43,964 --> 00:47:45,254
Indeed.
630
00:47:45,374 --> 00:47:48,026
You must be prepared to cope with it.
631
00:47:49,112 --> 00:47:50,222
Yes, Your Majesty.
632
00:47:50,342 --> 00:47:54,091
Your humble servant, Bidam,
shall serve you with utmost zeal.
633
00:47:59,641 --> 00:48:02,757
You told me that only enough severity
towards your confidants to suggest cruelty...
634
00:48:02,877 --> 00:48:06,055
marks the path of a
great ruler, Your Majesty.
635
00:48:06,420 --> 00:48:10,998
All creation knows Yushin
is your closest confidant,
636
00:48:11,118 --> 00:48:14,760
so if you fail to deal with him
in most stern and resolute ways,
637
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:20,485
how would the courtiers and
our people possibly accept it?
638
00:48:20,605 --> 00:48:22,506
What you say is right.
639
00:48:22,626 --> 00:48:27,160
Not a single word you said
goes against principle.
640
00:48:27,938 --> 00:48:29,826
Your grace is immeasurable, Your Majesty.
641
00:48:29,946 --> 00:48:31,215
However...
642
00:48:32,858 --> 00:48:36,726
It does not go against
your personal interests, either.
643
00:48:36,846 --> 00:48:41,003
Not to mention the
interest of certain nobles,
644
00:48:41,123 --> 00:48:44,476
who would only fear the ever-increasing
influence shown by Yushin.
645
00:48:44,596 --> 00:48:48,157
What is your view on the matter?
646
00:48:49,820 --> 00:48:54,779
Should one's personal whims
not go against principle,
647
00:48:54,899 --> 00:48:58,189
who would ever lament such situation?
648
00:49:23,472 --> 00:49:28,290
Bidam is quite the
peculiar specimen, indeed.
649
00:49:28,410 --> 00:49:29,413
Yes...
650
00:49:29,533 --> 00:49:32,739
While the drums of victory were
heralding Yushin's flourishing influence,
651
00:49:32,859 --> 00:49:34,845
what was Bidam doing?
652
00:49:34,965 --> 00:49:39,439
Did he not always remain
in people's shadows?
653
00:49:39,559 --> 00:49:45,634
But see how he suddenly
finds his path kindled by success!
654
00:49:48,192 --> 00:49:51,457
Yes, he managed to turn
the situation to his own benefit...
655
00:49:51,577 --> 00:49:54,859
without going against
principle a single time.
656
00:49:56,615 --> 00:49:58,982
Blood never lies, all right.
657
00:49:59,102 --> 00:50:00,877
Never does.
658
00:50:21,664 --> 00:50:22,695
Your Majesty!
659
00:50:22,815 --> 00:50:24,211
It cannot be!
660
00:50:24,331 --> 00:50:26,536
An enemy of the state?!
661
00:50:26,656 --> 00:50:29,522
Is not Your Majesty the first
to know that the Chief Marshal...
662
00:50:29,642 --> 00:50:32,721
has no relation with
the movement whatsoever?
663
00:50:36,301 --> 00:50:40,979
If he is responsible for anything,
that is not controlling his subordinates.
664
00:50:43,230 --> 00:50:46,346
That one single mistake turning him
into an enemy of our nation...
665
00:50:46,466 --> 00:50:48,620
is a much too cruel measure.
666
00:50:48,740 --> 00:50:51,346
You may leave.
667
00:50:51,895 --> 00:50:53,138
Your Majesty.
668
00:50:53,258 --> 00:50:55,601
Think of all the meritorious service
His Excellency is responsible for!
669
00:50:55,721 --> 00:50:59,348
If you do this to the Chief Marshal,
it will only negatively affect our troops' morale.
670
00:50:59,468 --> 00:51:02,385
Your Majesty!
Deign us with your benevolence!
671
00:51:02,505 --> 00:51:04,091
Deign us with your benevolence!
672
00:51:04,211 --> 00:51:06,555
Deign us with your benevolence!
673
00:51:07,227 --> 00:51:08,427
Your Majesty!
674
00:51:08,547 --> 00:51:10,112
Think of our troops' morale,
675
00:51:10,232 --> 00:51:12,476
and do not abandon the Chief Marshal!
676
00:51:12,596 --> 00:51:15,529
May you retract your measure
directed at His Excellency.
677
00:51:15,649 --> 00:51:16,708
Your Majesty!
678
00:51:16,828 --> 00:51:18,600
Deign us with your benevolence!
679
00:51:18,803 --> 00:51:21,017
Deign us with your benevolence!
680
00:51:21,417 --> 00:51:24,172
Deign us with your benevolence!!
681
00:51:24,292 --> 00:51:26,659
Deign us with your benevolence!
682
00:51:34,231 --> 00:51:36,904
This really... really
does not make any sense.
683
00:51:37,024 --> 00:51:40,008
Don't you know what
kind of man Lord Yushin is?
684
00:51:40,128 --> 00:51:43,688
Lord Yushin a traitor, a treacherous
villain, an enemy of the state?!
685
00:51:44,113 --> 00:51:45,566
Aigoo...
686
00:51:46,071 --> 00:51:49,095
Gather everyone who knows him,
and try to ask them.
687
00:51:49,215 --> 00:51:53,284
See if anyone concurs with such
harebrained accusations, will you?
688
00:51:53,404 --> 00:51:57,572
With the help of a movement attack,
Lord Yushin escaped the palace.
689
00:51:57,692 --> 00:52:01,067
Not to mention the fact that
troops and officers were murdered.
690
00:52:01,187 --> 00:52:04,457
Just that is enough to justify
any suspicion against him.
691
00:52:04,577 --> 00:52:06,730
Isn't that the very reason
why all this is unfair?
692
00:52:06,850 --> 00:52:08,665
All this has been forced upon him!
693
00:52:08,785 --> 00:52:12,475
He is nothing but a national hero who
spent the last few years on the battlefield,
694
00:52:12,595 --> 00:52:14,496
a hero!
695
00:52:15,381 --> 00:52:18,118
It is a brilliant subterfuge by Bidam.
696
00:52:18,238 --> 00:52:19,774
He was caught in his trap.
697
00:52:19,894 --> 00:52:24,111
Milord, tell this to Her Majesty
and do something about Lord Yushin,
698
00:52:24,231 --> 00:52:25,838
will you?
699
00:52:25,958 --> 00:52:27,880
The movement is a
treacherous organization,
700
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,815
and the fact Lord Yushin
is involved is true.
701
00:52:30,935 --> 00:52:33,530
All Bidam did was fulfilling
his duties as Commissioner,
702
00:52:33,650 --> 00:52:37,594
and my suggestion that Bidam did
this on purpose is mere speculation.
703
00:52:37,714 --> 00:52:41,688
This is much too unfair,
it's unconscionable!
704
00:52:41,808 --> 00:52:44,818
Lord Yushin knows nothing
about political artifice,
705
00:52:44,938 --> 00:52:48,018
his every moment
is drenched in sincerity!
706
00:52:48,138 --> 00:52:50,634
Both his demeanor with people, his dedication
in training or fervor on the battlefield,
707
00:52:50,754 --> 00:52:54,116
it was all done in utter sincerity.
708
00:52:56,192 --> 00:52:57,876
Sincerity...
709
00:52:57,996 --> 00:53:00,980
Yes! Sincerity!
Sincerity.
710
00:53:03,729 --> 00:53:05,203
Sincerity?!
711
00:53:07,561 --> 00:53:08,992
Sincerity.
712
00:53:18,884 --> 00:53:20,189
Your Majesty.
713
00:53:20,309 --> 00:53:22,519
Lord Chunchu seeks audience.
714
00:53:22,639 --> 00:53:24,119
It's you.
715
00:53:28,729 --> 00:53:30,076
Yes.
716
00:53:30,196 --> 00:53:31,444
So...
717
00:53:32,665 --> 00:53:35,160
What are your views on this matter?
718
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:37,238
What matter?
719
00:53:38,368 --> 00:53:42,385
All that has been happening as of late.
720
00:53:42,831 --> 00:53:45,480
Shall I begin by separating
right from wrong?
721
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:49,585
Or is the state of things
what you want to hear?
722
00:53:49,705 --> 00:53:51,837
Right and wrong.
723
00:53:51,957 --> 00:53:55,416
It is a matter of national
security and public order.
724
00:53:55,536 --> 00:53:59,847
What the courtiers and
Bidam suggest is reasonable.
725
00:54:00,397 --> 00:54:01,533
Hence?
726
00:54:01,653 --> 00:54:02,923
However,
727
00:54:04,144 --> 00:54:07,989
there is no man responsible for
as much meritorious service...
728
00:54:08,124 --> 00:54:10,102
in the last few years as Yushin.
729
00:54:10,222 --> 00:54:12,818
Hence, not only is he gaining
popularity amongst our people,
730
00:54:12,938 --> 00:54:18,643
but also courtiers and
officials of all the boards.
731
00:54:19,337 --> 00:54:23,442
Proclaiming such a distinguished man
of arms as an enemy of the state...
732
00:54:23,562 --> 00:54:28,442
would incur indescribable
dissent and disorder.
733
00:54:29,225 --> 00:54:31,792
Tell me the state of things, then.
734
00:54:31,912 --> 00:54:34,521
The uneasy reaction
shown by the courtiers...
735
00:54:34,692 --> 00:54:38,050
is a result of Yushin's popularity.
736
00:54:38,170 --> 00:54:40,808
They are not following Bidam,
737
00:54:40,928 --> 00:54:45,516
but merely fearing Yushin's
ever-increasing influence.
738
00:54:45,636 --> 00:54:48,966
However, should anything
happen to Yushin,
739
00:54:49,086 --> 00:54:53,222
we would find ourselves with
nobody to contend with Bidam's rise.
740
00:54:53,342 --> 00:54:56,341
Now tell me any strategy.
741
00:54:56,461 --> 00:54:58,488
I have none.
742
00:54:58,608 --> 00:55:00,391
And why?
743
00:55:00,511 --> 00:55:03,717
If Yushin does not make his return
and joins forces with the movement,
744
00:55:03,837 --> 00:55:07,127
then he would unquestionably
become an enemy of the state.
745
00:55:07,247 --> 00:55:12,144
And if he does return, he would
be instantly apprehended for treason.
746
00:55:12,264 --> 00:55:16,004
Hence...
There is no way he will return.
747
00:55:17,188 --> 00:55:21,699
{\a6}*From Sanskrit vajradhatu (diamond realm),
although the "gye" used here means "plan"
748
00:55:17,188 --> 00:55:21,699
That is the extent of
Bidam's brilliant diamond plan*.
749
00:55:22,728 --> 00:55:24,488
Diamond plan?!
750
00:55:24,608 --> 00:55:27,156
Diamond is the most
indestructible of gems,
751
00:55:27,276 --> 00:55:31,994
so that is how they call the
most formidable of stratagems.
752
00:55:33,198 --> 00:55:38,814
Is it really impossible to break?
753
00:55:40,105 --> 00:55:44,105
With Yushin, we can always
hope one thing from him,
754
00:55:45,432 --> 00:55:48,442
but it is much too arduous a task.
755
00:55:48,562 --> 00:55:52,604
Since Yushin himself will
worry about his future.
756
00:55:52,724 --> 00:55:54,373
What is that?
757
00:56:25,521 --> 00:56:27,184
Yushin...
758
00:56:27,796 --> 00:56:31,248
Is there really no solution?
759
00:56:40,501 --> 00:56:43,286
Her Majesty graces you all.
760
00:57:16,300 --> 00:57:21,301
His Majesty King Jijeung gave us
the motto which defined our nation,
761
00:57:21,421 --> 00:57:24,417
that of heralding new virtuous
achievements and conquering the four corners.
762
00:57:24,537 --> 00:57:29,853
King Jinheung inherited this great vision
to pacify the Three Kingdoms,
763
00:57:29,973 --> 00:57:32,084
and annexed Gaya,
764
00:57:32,204 --> 00:57:35,811
making Shilla and Gaya one unified nation.
765
00:57:35,931 --> 00:57:43,748
Hence, to embrace Gaya people as our own,
766
00:57:43,868 --> 00:57:46,157
I eliminated discrimination,
767
00:57:46,277 --> 00:57:49,513
and returned them their land.
768
00:57:49,633 --> 00:57:52,143
However, those same Gaya
descendants responded...
769
00:57:52,263 --> 00:57:55,827
by fostering a restoration movement
and resisting against Shilla,
770
00:57:55,947 --> 00:58:00,165
so this is an unquestionable
act of high treason!
771
00:58:02,496 --> 00:58:04,853
For their involvement with
the restoration movement,
772
00:58:04,973 --> 00:58:06,517
I hereby proclaim Board officer Wolya,
773
00:58:06,637 --> 00:58:08,875
Daedaegam Seolji,
774
00:58:09,696 --> 00:58:12,651
and Chief Marshal Yushin...
775
00:58:18,882 --> 00:58:21,935
as being responsible for...
776
00:58:25,635 --> 00:58:27,340
an inimical act against our state...
777
00:58:27,460 --> 00:58:28,582
Your Majesty!
778
00:58:28,702 --> 00:58:30,556
Your Majesty!
779
00:58:37,296 --> 00:58:38,454
Your Majesty!
780
00:58:38,574 --> 00:58:40,702
At Ingang Palace...
781
00:58:42,163 --> 00:58:44,128
At Ingang Palace...
782
00:58:54,386 --> 00:58:56,175
Yushin has returned!
Yushin!
783
00:58:56,295 --> 00:58:59,602
Commissioner!
Yushin has made his return!
784
00:59:07,881 --> 00:59:09,039
Yushin...
785
00:59:36,666 --> 00:59:38,309
Your Majesty!
786
00:59:38,429 --> 00:59:40,688
Chief Marshal Yushin!
787
00:59:40,808 --> 00:59:46,821
Accepts any punishment,
but first wishes to speak!
788
00:59:46,941 --> 00:59:48,990
He first wishes to speak!
789
00:59:49,110 --> 00:59:50,496
Your Majesty!
790
00:59:50,583 --> 00:59:52,894
- Your Majesty!!
- Your Majesty!
791
00:59:53,726 --> 00:59:55,207
Your Majesty!
792
00:59:55,327 --> 00:59:57,540
Her Majesty deigns you with her presence!
793
01:00:36,311 --> 01:00:40,779
Is it really impossible to break?
794
01:00:40,899 --> 01:00:44,716
With Yushin, we can always
hope for one thing from him,
795
01:00:44,836 --> 01:00:47,801
but it is much too arduous a task.
796
01:00:47,921 --> 01:00:51,254
Since Yushin himself will
worry about his future.
797
01:00:51,717 --> 01:00:53,292
What is that?
798
01:00:54,635 --> 01:00:56,054
Sincerity.
799
01:00:57,401 --> 01:01:00,655
Just, sincerity.
800
01:01:02,192 --> 01:01:03,687
Sincerity?!
801
01:01:04,255 --> 01:01:08,959
Wouldn't striving to follow the righteous
path regardless of all the obstacles...
802
01:01:09,079 --> 01:01:11,372
what sincerity is made of?
803
01:01:19,490 --> 01:01:22,458
Lord Yushin knows nothing
about political artifice,
804
01:01:22,578 --> 01:01:26,395
his every moment is drenched in sincerity!
805
01:01:26,515 --> 01:01:29,373
The kind that doesn't concern
itself with political subterfuge,
806
01:01:29,493 --> 01:01:33,431
and always strives
to find justice, sincerity.
807
01:01:33,551 --> 01:01:38,865
What no artifice can sway, sincerity.
808
01:01:40,107 --> 01:01:41,981
Your Majesty.
809
01:01:42,101 --> 01:01:44,234
Chief Marshal Yushin,
810
01:01:44,354 --> 01:01:46,987
accepts his due punishment.
811
01:01:47,623 --> 01:01:51,856
May you staunchly rebuke my misdeeds.
812
01:01:52,444 --> 01:01:54,002
What are you waiting for?
813
01:01:54,122 --> 01:01:56,991
Apprehend criminal Yushin at once!
814
01:01:57,111 --> 01:01:58,857
Yes!
815
01:02:18,807 --> 01:02:20,112
My gratitude...
816
01:02:20,232 --> 01:02:21,333
Yushin.
823
01:02:40,769 --> 01:02:44,819
~ On The Next Episode Of ~
QUEEN ~*~ SEONDEOK
824
01:02:45,462 --> 01:02:47,568
Is the throne what you aspire for?
825
01:02:47,688 --> 01:02:49,688
You cannot!
826
01:02:51,430 --> 01:02:53,861
You don't seem familiar?
827
01:02:54,561 --> 01:02:55,466
There...
828
01:02:55,586 --> 01:02:58,173
What is Yushin doing in Baekje?
829
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:01,218
Which battalion do you come from?
830
01:03:01,338 --> 01:03:03,910
Doyeol from the Royal Guard Ministry.
831
01:03:04,030 --> 01:03:06,761
For participating in espionage,
832
01:03:06,881 --> 01:03:09,513
I apprehended Chief Marshal Yushin
at the Baekje camp.
833
01:03:09,633 --> 01:03:11,715
Espionage?!
834
01:03:11,835 --> 01:03:14,145
I hereby deprive
Chief Marshal Yushin of his post,
835
01:03:14,265 --> 01:03:16,764
and condemn him to exile.
836
01:03:18,987 --> 01:03:23,578
Then, did I...
Did I betray the Chief Marshal?
837
01:03:23,698 --> 01:03:28,899
Why did you force me
to make this decision?
