44200:39:53,286 --> 00:39:56,807Are

442
00:39:53,286 --> 00:39:56,807
Are you not one of
Chunchu's closest confidants?

443
00:39:56,927 --> 00:39:59,329
So this is another
of Chunchu's subterfuges.

444
00:39:59,449 --> 00:40:03,048
It is not, believe me!
Her Majesty wrote that!

445
00:40:03,168 --> 00:40:05,487
Lord Bidam!
You must believe me!

446
00:40:05,607 --> 00:40:08,773
You are misunderstanding something.

447
00:40:10,257 --> 00:40:13,801
If that was not the case, why would
I come here and risk my life?

448
00:40:13,921 --> 00:40:16,939
Unless I was completely out of my mind.

449
00:40:17,533 --> 00:40:19,165
Y...es.

450
00:40:19,285 --> 00:40:20,709
He's right.

451
00:40:20,829 --> 00:40:22,999
He came to Chuhwa County last night,

452
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:27,778
restlessly asking when you were coming.

453
00:40:29,374 --> 00:40:33,201
Yes. After I saw that edict,
I hastened here.

454
00:40:33,321 --> 00:40:37,849
I risked my life to bring you this!

455
00:41:00,989 --> 00:41:02,770
I almost...

456
00:41:02,890 --> 00:41:04,937
I almost let you
inveigle me once again.

457
00:41:05,057 --> 00:41:06,400
- What?!
- What?!

458
00:41:08,732 --> 00:41:12,802
Tell this to Chunchu and Deokman.

459
00:41:13,884 --> 00:41:16,369
That I am alive!

460
00:41:16,489 --> 00:41:17,909
What?

461
00:41:20,368 --> 00:41:24,969
That the Bidam they so ardently
wanted to get rid of...

462
00:41:25,089 --> 00:41:27,747
is alive and well.

463
00:41:28,701 --> 00:41:30,440
Tell them.

464
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,388
Is that clear?

465
00:42:10,178 --> 00:42:14,397
Should you leave this world before I do,

466
00:42:14,517 --> 00:42:21,344
I shall relinquish all
my authority as promised,

467
00:42:21,464 --> 00:42:26,425
and leave the secular world.

468
00:42:27,577 --> 00:42:28,765
Bidam...

469
00:42:28,885 --> 00:42:31,007
I should not even call it a pledge.

470
00:42:31,127 --> 00:42:35,584
For this, to me,
is not so exacting a task.

471
00:42:37,113 --> 00:42:39,155
Your Majesty.

472
00:42:39,648 --> 00:42:42,001
You must make a decision now.

473
00:42:42,121 --> 00:42:43,210
Yes, Your Majesty.

474
00:42:43,330 --> 00:42:46,788
The edict is being spread
all over the capital.

475
00:42:46,908 --> 00:42:50,798
If the edict gains legitimacy thanks
to the Sangdaedeung's participation,

476
00:42:50,918 --> 00:42:54,383
it is only a matter of time
before they gain even more influence.

477
00:42:56,408 --> 00:42:57,850
Your Majesty!

478
00:42:58,465 --> 00:43:00,415
You must make a decision, Your Majesty!

479
00:43:00,535 --> 00:43:02,027
Yes, Your Majesty.

480
00:43:02,147 --> 00:43:04,135
May you issue an order.

481
00:43:04,255 --> 00:43:05,238
Your Majesty!

482
00:43:05,358 --> 00:43:06,828
May you hasten and...

483
00:43:06,948 --> 00:43:09,245
I shall deprive...

484
00:43:09,365 --> 00:43:12,362
Bidam of his post as Sangdaedeung,

485
00:43:12,482 --> 00:43:16,924
and hereby proclaim him
as enemy of the state.

486
00:43:25,237 --> 00:43:30,135
Tell the people to repel the usurpers,

487
00:43:30,255 --> 00:43:36,995
execute all traitors, and fulfill
this country's aspirations.

488
00:43:37,395 --> 00:43:38,986
Yes, Your Majesty.

489
00:43:39,142 --> 00:43:40,692
Yes, Your Majesty.

490
00:43:48,702 --> 00:43:49,989
Chief.

491
00:43:51,331 --> 00:43:52,794
Yes, Your Majesty.

492
00:43:54,045 --> 00:43:59,066
Find out what you can about Heuksan,
that Royal Palace guard.

493
00:44:03,958 --> 00:44:07,710
Are you sure that Jukbang was
carrying that message last night?

494
00:44:08,126 --> 00:44:09,080
Yes.

495
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,621
I have no doubt.

496
00:44:12,621 --> 00:44:17,269
The man who attempted to kill me
was a Royal Palace guard.

497
00:44:19,548 --> 00:44:21,793
Find out what you can about him.

498
00:44:21,981 --> 00:44:24,594
Yes, consider it done.

499
00:44:39,359 --> 00:44:42,221
The Sangdaedeung asked him
to investigate Heuksan?

500
00:44:42,341 --> 00:44:45,380
Yes.
Santak was ordered by him.

501
00:44:45,500 --> 00:44:47,252
We cannot allow it.

502
00:44:48,242 --> 00:44:49,551
Gather all your men.

503
00:44:49,671 --> 00:44:51,107
Yes.

504
00:45:21,477 --> 00:45:23,533
It's them! Catch them!

505
00:45:23,653 --> 00:45:25,037
Yes!

506
00:46:02,109 --> 00:46:03,501
It is all right.

507
00:46:03,621 --> 00:46:06,503
I come from the Royal
Palace Guard, so don't worry.

508
00:46:07,444 --> 00:46:09,034
Are you all right?

509
00:46:09,154 --> 00:46:10,327
Yes.

510
00:46:12,164 --> 00:46:17,189
But...
My father...

511
00:46:18,312 --> 00:46:20,356
My mother...

512
00:46:22,637 --> 00:46:25,767
Do you know what happened?

513
00:46:25,887 --> 00:46:28,929
As my brother Heuksan did something wrong,

514
00:46:29,629 --> 00:46:31,622
he said we must find refuge immediately.

515
00:46:31,742 --> 00:46:33,698
Something... wrong?

516
00:46:33,818 --> 00:46:35,203
What would that be?

517
00:46:35,323 --> 00:46:39,621
This man from the inspectorate, Yeo...

518
00:46:40,848 --> 00:46:42,506
Yeom...

519
00:46:42,626 --> 00:46:44,816
Yes, a man called Yeomjong.

520
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,150
Yeomjong?!

521
00:46:53,312 --> 00:46:55,093
Yeomjong?!

522
00:46:59,524 --> 00:47:03,432
Was Bidam really
in Myeonghwalsan Fortress?

523
00:47:03,997 --> 00:47:06,053
Yes, Your Majesty.

524
00:47:06,173 --> 00:47:10,018
Have you seen him yourself?

525
00:47:11,697 --> 00:47:13,149
Yes.

526
00:47:14,972 --> 00:47:17,392
But, Your Majesty.

527
00:47:17,512 --> 00:47:23,882
Lord Bidam believes
you attempted to slay him.

528
00:47:24,695 --> 00:47:26,074
What?

529
00:47:26,194 --> 00:47:30,285
When I tried to relay your message
to him, he refused to accept it,

530
00:47:30,674 --> 00:47:33,866
and thought it was a mere subterfuge.

531
00:47:37,135 --> 00:47:39,792
He told me...

532
00:47:39,912 --> 00:47:44,547
He told me to tell you that
the Bidam you wished to see dead...

533
00:47:44,667 --> 00:47:48,060
is still alive.

534
00:47:52,604 --> 00:47:55,591
What is all this about...

535
00:47:57,287 --> 00:47:58,538
Your Majesty.

536
00:48:05,119 --> 00:48:06,540
How did it go?

537
00:48:06,660 --> 00:48:08,715
Did you find out?

538
00:48:10,102 --> 00:48:12,461
It was Yeomjong's doing.

539
00:48:19,066 --> 00:48:21,144
He... He can't be...

540
00:48:21,264 --> 00:48:26,097
The one who made it appear
as if Her Majesty ordered this,

541
00:48:26,217 --> 00:48:29,887
was Yeomjong?

542
00:48:30,634 --> 00:48:32,318
Indeed.

543
00:48:32,860 --> 00:48:39,246
Was trust between people
such a feeble thing?

544
00:48:39,366 --> 00:48:41,166
Your Majesty.

545
00:48:41,802 --> 00:48:46,117
Was spending one's life
leaning onto someone...

546
00:48:46,237 --> 00:48:48,890
such a futile endeavor?

547
00:48:50,421 --> 00:48:52,583
You must solve this misunderstanding.

548
00:48:52,703 --> 00:48:55,807
Will you just take this lying down?

549
00:48:56,103 --> 00:49:01,148
It is now too late to do anything.

550
00:49:02,194 --> 00:49:09,083
There is nothing I can do for Bidam.

551
00:49:16,940 --> 00:49:19,022
Your Majesty!

552
00:49:23,103 --> 00:49:25,180
I am fine.

553
00:49:25,300 --> 00:49:27,131
You may leave.

554
00:49:29,081 --> 00:49:31,870
Yes.
I will call the physician.

555
00:49:31,990 --> 00:49:33,793
But...

556
00:49:34,499 --> 00:49:35,967
You may leave.

557
00:49:36,154 --> 00:49:37,615
Yes...

558
00:50:15,013 --> 00:50:18,003
I am here to see the Sangdaedeung.

559
00:50:18,123 --> 00:50:19,709
What is your name?

560
00:50:19,829 --> 00:50:22,546
His Excellency said he
would mention my arrival?!

561
00:50:22,666 --> 00:50:24,120
I'm Santak.

562
00:50:24,244 --> 00:50:24,929
Ahh... Santak?

563
00:50:25,049 --> 00:50:26,366
Yes, yes.

564
00:50:26,477 --> 00:50:29,297
I must see him right away,
so may you open the gates.

565
00:50:36,349 --> 00:50:39,741
You...
Let us have a word.

566
00:50:39,861 --> 00:50:43,526
This man from the inspectorate, Yeomjong...

567
00:50:43,975 --> 00:50:47,364
I must meet... His Excellency...

568
00:50:49,191 --> 00:50:50,935
Catch him!

569
00:51:03,092 --> 00:51:04,444
Santak, stop there!

570
00:51:04,564 --> 00:51:06,364
Yeomjong, you dirty rat..

571
00:52:30,215 --> 00:52:33,092
~ Deokman ~

572
00:52:45,717 --> 00:52:48,685
Is Santak still not here?

573
00:52:48,805 --> 00:52:51,134
I asked you where Santak is!

574
00:52:54,868 --> 00:52:57,049
May you rejoice, Sangdaedeung.

575
00:53:01,115 --> 00:53:02,759
Come in.

576
00:53:11,517 --> 00:53:15,057
Lord Yeongjin has decided
to join our cause.

577
00:53:15,177 --> 00:53:18,952
I will do my part in this
great endeavor of ours!

578
00:53:19,072 --> 00:53:21,564
It was a wise decision.

579
00:53:21,684 --> 00:53:23,024
And it does not stop at that.

580
00:53:23,144 --> 00:53:26,199
The Lord of the
Goyunnang Commandery, Hoyun,

581
00:53:26,319 --> 00:53:30,293
has just pledged his participation!

582
00:53:31,925 --> 00:53:36,524
And the Lord of Gurahwa Prefecture promised
he will join our efforts with troops.

583
00:53:38,093 --> 00:53:41,421
If it's Gurahwa Prefecture, we must
be dealing with a large contingent.

584
00:53:41,541 --> 00:53:42,948
Yes, Sangdaedeung.

585
00:53:43,068 --> 00:53:47,335
Once those troops arrive,
our quandaries are over.

586
00:53:47,455 --> 00:53:49,391
My congratulations.

587
00:53:49,511 --> 00:53:56,158
Yes... Many nobles show
confidence in your endeavors.

588
00:53:58,141 --> 00:54:00,961
I am whelmed with gratitude.

589
00:54:02,148 --> 00:54:03,803
What are you saying?

590
00:54:03,923 --> 00:54:08,096
- Providence is truly blessing us.
- Yes! Indeed!

591
00:54:21,019 --> 00:54:23,258
Where are you headed?

592
00:54:23,860 --> 00:54:27,065
Did Santak arrive, by any chance?

593
00:54:28,432 --> 00:54:30,149
I have not seen him.

594
00:54:30,269 --> 00:54:33,331
Did you send him anywhere?

595
00:54:34,050 --> 00:54:36,618
I entrusted him so
