Dae Wang Sejong (2008): Season 1, Episode 26 - Episode #1.26 - full transcript
Chief!
Choongnyeong's got Youngsil?
You say they're at
the Bureau of Weaponry?
Are you the one that made this musket?
I asked if you made this musket!
That's why I'm here, aren't I?
Who are you working for?
I don't know.
The weapon you made
targeted a Royal prince!
I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't an animal.
If they can come after a Royal prince,
they could come after the King next!
Don't you know that?
What does that have
anything to do with me?
All I did was sell my talent
for the right price.
Are you saying money is more
important than a man's life?
To me it is.
Money is more important
to me than my life.
Your Highness!
This country does not need these hands.
I will cut them off and be rid off them!
What are you doing?
Put this weapon down.
No.
Then I will ask that you cut off your
hands first before you take his!
Master!
Wait!
Everyone get down!
Get him!
You!
You dropped your identity tag.
Jang Chilsang?
Stop!
Who are you?
Jang Chilsang is dead!
Stop him!
Fools!
How could you let him get away?
What's our mission?
Begin!
"Artillery squad handles
explosives with care
to protect our lives and
the lives of our peers"!
"Artillery squad Maintains
strict safety measures
to protect our cannons and
explosives from the enemy"!
And you let a civilian enter
without checking his identity?
Did you check his tag or didn't you?
Do you know who is in
this building right now?
What are you looking at?
Pathetic fool...
Come!
He is a talented man.
But his heart is rotten.
If we let him go, he will turn
into a walking murder weapon.
The weapons he make
will kill countless people.
They can save countless
people as well.
He bears animosity for the Royal House.
You are to blame for that.
Master.
Why is he so angry with the Royal House?
What made him turn into this bitter,
disgruntled man who doesn't
rust anything but money?
Unwillingness of the Royal House to
ask these questions and think from
the other side is what
produces men like him.
You're the one who
said politics is reality.
There is no way the Royal house
can win everyone's heart.
Illegal arms trade is a felony.
We must strike with an iron hand to stop
him from committing these evil acts.
And who will stop you from
your evil acts, Your Highness?
Just go and beg.
I bet you're hungry. Eat the food first
and to tell him everything you know.
Eat, kid.
Smart kid like you shouldn't
walk around hungry.
You can't think well when
your belly is empty,
and you need to think to put out
all of your brilliant ideas.
Right?
If you don't want to beg,
you can tell me instead.
Who did you give this to?
Who bought this from you?
Cut off my hand instead.
Are you crazy?
Do you have a death wish?
It doesn't kill you to have a hand cut off.
You might as well be dead, kid.
To us craftsmen, our hands are our lives.
You love what you do. How can you
say you don't need your hands?
You wouldn't put your name
on your work unless you put
your heart and soul into them.
I was playing a joke.
Are you sure you weren't trying
to get the world's attention?
Me?
A murderer?
If not, is this a purging
of the political enemy.
Councilor Yun!
Without that boy's confession, the Min
clan and the Crown Prince is finished.
And the seat of the Crown
Prince is sure to be yours.
Are you being serious?
Then don't let your temper
get the best of you.
If we can't persuade that boy to talk,
three men could lose their lives tonight.
I'm not going to persuade him.
But I will get his confession.
Are you satisfied?
Transfer the prisoner to
the Royal Inspector's Office.
Are you going to torture
the truth out of him?
Yes, if I have to.
He's stubborn as a goat,
so I guess he's going to his grave...
If by some miracle he survives,
he'll probably never hold
a tool in his hands again.
I have no time for this chat.
Transfer the prisoner.
I'm afraid I can't.
You'd defend the criminal of treason
that patronized the Royal House?
Then I guess I'm a criminal
of treason as well.
I wanted to protect the boy more than
to protect you when we were
attacked in my office.
What's more, one new discovery
I make in a sulfur smelling backroom
is more important to me than the King.
We love that smell so much that both
my father Choi Musun and I never
wanted to leave that backroom.
Back in those days we couldn't
care less who sat on the throne.
That should classify me as a criminal
of treason, shouldn't it?
What is your point?
The boy has talent.
The kind of talent that I can
only dream about having.
Put that boy Youngsil in a backroom
and left him do wild in there.
If you could be the strong roof
that could protect that room,
who knows if his talented hands might
become hands that Joseon really needs?
Without your hands,
you might as well be dead!
You love your work so much that you put
your mark on everything you make.
How can you say you
don't need your hands?
Win his heart.
Don't let your temper get the best of you.
Three innocent men could
lose their lives tonight.
- Look.
- I...
I heard you have something to say.
I heard you have a request.
I will put your talent to valuable service.
I will absolve you from all of your crimes
and give you a job at
the Bureau of Weaponry.
Now can you tell me who is
behind the attempt on my life?
I thought only street
merchants make deals.
My brother is not a murder.
I cannot let him live the rest
of his life as a murder!
If you just tell me who is behind
this, I can protect my brother.
Don't you have anyone close that
you'd trade your life to protect?
Does this mean you won't help me?
Could you call a sketch artist for me?
I know the culprit's face.
Thanks.
You don't have to thank me.
I'm just trying to pay for my meal.
I had a very expensive meal here.
They said their mission was to
resurrect the Royal House of Goryeo.
Did you say Baron Ok Hwan is the
leader of the Goryeoan rebel army?
Yes!
Arrest them immediately!
As expected of a butcher's men,
you've got no manners.
What brings you here at this hour, sire?
Arrest the rebel leader!
Wait!
Where is your leader?
Well, I guess that confirms
that you don't have him.
Arrest him and order the city
to be sealed off immediately.
Why are we so slow?
Tell them to hustle!
- Take him!
- No! Please, sir!
Next!
Next!
Sir!
Your identity tag, please.
What is this commotion?
We're enforcing the curfew law.
My lord is ill, and I am taking
him back to his manor.
Just let us see his identity tag.
You must have more than one life.
What?
Let him do his work!
This Lord Gwok Sun, the former
Deputy Security Councilor.
If something happens should happen to
the retired high minister on the street,
you will be held responsible.
Forgive me, sire.
Travel safely.
Let's go.
What is it?
There's a rebel leader on the loose.
We're ordered to apprehend
him tonight whatever it takes.
Another all-nighter?
This has got to be the worst day...
The rebel leader has fled?
What's this?
It was confiscated from
the rebel headquarters.
They've even made a Royal Seal?
Find the rebel leader tonight
no matter what it takes!
Bastard!
How dare you try to
incriminate the Min clan for this!
We couldn't find better
suckers to pin it on.
What?
I will kill you for this!
I'll tear you from limp
to limb right now!
You're going to do me the
favor of quick death to boot?
It's a shame I won't have the
change to return the favor.
You bastard!
Stop!
We can't kill him until we learn
the whereabouts of their leader.
Confess your crimes and tell
us where the ringleader is.
Do not mock my master
by calling him a ringleader.
Torture will be unbearable.
Do you really think you can
convince me by appeasement?
I'm not trying to appease you.
I'm trying to save lives.
Countless lives will be lost
trying to find your leader!
Yes, that's how Yi Bangwon
does everything.
Choose the way to end this
with minimum casualties.
That's the only decent thing to do!
Yi Bangwon is the one
who started this first.
We still have a long way to go before we
get him back for what he's done to us.
- We're Goryeo...
- Goryeo?
"The land of exalted beauty "?
Do not utter that name ever again.
You're common criminals.
Thugs with eyes only on revenge
with no regard for the people!
That remains to be seen.
Let's see how much your ringleader
Yi Bangwon cares about the people.
Baron Ok Hwan...
And his foreman Jeon Pansuk...
Tell us where your leader is!
I don't know.
Hey, are you crying?
No.
What are you doing here?
I came to see how Prince
Choongnyeong's investigation is going.
What are you doing here?
Shouldn't you be lighting up the palace?
I didn't feel well, so I changed shifts.
Then you should be resting
back at the dorm.
I'm just stunned.
That merchant group was our
wax supplier for over ten years.
I can't believe it was a rebel
organization all this time.
Is that why you were crying like a girl?
Because you're angry?
Aren't we going to get him out?
Sire!
Get back before someone
notices that you're missing.
Are you going to let my uncle die like this?
There're unavoidable
sacrifices in a revolution.
Sire!
Get back to your quarters.
Ilji.
If you get a chance to see your uncle,
tell him something for me.
That he has done his last
duty so he can go in peace...
You don't deserve to be our leader!
I will not leave without you!
If you don't go now, this organization,
this revolution is over!
But!
You swore that you'd resurrect Goryeo.
Are you going to betray your comrades?
Don't worry about me.
I will do my last duty.
I will stay alive until you and the rest of
the comrades are safely back together.
How much longer do
you think you can last?
Are you going to wait for
his confession forever?
Anyone have any other ideas?
Who taught you to barge into
the audience unannounced?
Ok Hwan,
Foreman Jeon Pansuk...
These petty rebels toyed with my
fate and the fate of my two uncles?
So are you here to get my apology?
That remark makes me angrier than
being accused of attempted murder.
The King shouldn't worry about
his son's feelings when
rebels are threatening the regime.
I came to offer a suggestion in bringing
the rebels in more effectively.
A suggestion?
What is the meaning of this?
Arrest everyone with
surname of Jeon and Ok!
Yes, sir!
If you add a dot, Wang becomes Ok,
If you add two strokes here...
... it becomes Jeon;
And if you had two vertical stokes,
it becomes Jeon as well.
Like this, they ingeniously created
new surnames for themselves
leaving the trace of their
original surname of Wang.
Take all of them to the
Capital Magistracy!
They're arresting everyone
with surname of Jeon and Ok?
Our men here are registered
citizens as well,
so we could be raided any time.
Alert the agents and issue an order.
We're moving to the third hideout!
Yes, master.
What is the meaning of this?
Clear the road!
You can't arrest us when
we've done nothing wrong!
Spare me!
Please spare me!
No!
If they arrest all Jeons,
what's going to happen to Ilji?
What?
You think he's a spy or something?
I'm not saying he's a spy.
I'm just saying he's a Jeon.
So what?
Bureau of Weaponry Forge
I don't know what we've done.
It seems there is another set of hands
that can kill more people than
the weapons that my hands can make.
And my talents are being
used for those hand's.
Is that a good thing?
Did you get what I asked?
Yes, Your Highness.
May I ask what you are going
to do with so many weapons?
Why? Are you afraid I'm
going to rob the repository?
Your Highness...
It's good to see you back to
your old self, Your Highness.
I owe it all to my brilliant
kid brother over there.
Right?
What do you think?
Aren't they pretty good?
Who are they?
They're not wearing military uniforms.
They will be soon.
His Highness has gathered
the best chuksukhee players in the country.
My plan was to put them under you since
I can't enter the Great Hunting Ceremony.
They can turn the sports event
into training for the real war.
But we might have use for them sooner.
We can't let Goryeoan rebels run wild.
Fools...
Goryeo is dead and gone.
It's foolish to hang on to the past.
Perhaps they're not yearning for Goryeo.
Perhaps they're discontent with Joseon.
Be careful.
Defending treason is a crime
even if you're my brother.
Um, Your Highness.
Can I help you?
Uncle!
Uncle...
What are you doing here?
You can't be here!
Are you insane?
How did this happen?
I'm fine.
Just get out of here!
I can't stay in the palace
much longer either.
I'm going to join the comrades.
We're going to get you out of here.
Don't do anything for me.
It's not good for you and it's
not good for the organization.
Ilji...
I'm glad I had you.
After I lost my young one on that ship...
... you were my son.
Uncle...
"Next time... I'll show him
that I love him next time".
I told myself a million times,
but I never got around.
Please take care of yourself.
Survive this...
And live in a better world.
I cant if you're not here with me.
Where are you going?
Are you going to get your friends and
break the prisoner out of prison?
Choongnyeong's got Youngsil?
You say they're at
the Bureau of Weaponry?
Are you the one that made this musket?
I asked if you made this musket!

"Next time... I'll show him
that I love him next time".
I told myself a million times,
but I never got around.
Please take care of yourself.
Survive this...
And live in a better world.
I cant if you're not here with me.
Where are you going?
Are you going to get your friends and
break the prisoner out of prison?
