Who on earth… switched the letter?
Just who would…
Could it be…
Could it be the shadow?
Lord Lee In Gyeom,
will you take my move now?
[Episode 12]
Since there is new evidence…
Does he intend to investigate further?
I will interrogate Yi Bang Won again
and make sure to get his confession.
Of course he would.
That is in his character.
No. No!
He will try to deny the letter itself.
If the letter is true,
he will have to arrest Yi Seong Gye
as the murderer of Baek Yoon.
Would Yi Seong Gye be defeated
without a fight?
What if an internal war breaks out with
Yi Seong Gye and his 20,000 soldiers?
He would hate to deal with such a thing.
It's easier to doubt Lee In Gyeom
than Yi Seong Gye.
Everyone!
General Yi Seong Gye crushed Hobaldo!
Pardon me, didn't you hear that
General Yi Seong Gye just led a victory?
But… to investigate him?
It's only an investigation.
First, let's look at this letter.
Is Yi Seong Gye's name or
Yi Bang Won's name in here?
This is the definition of "anonymous."
How can an anonymous letter
become evidence?
How could we present an anonymous letter
to the general coming back from victory
and ask him, "By the way,
did you kill Lord Baek Yoon?"
- But--
- He's right!
Now that I think about it, this was
a problem from the beginning.
It is a rule
that anonymous letters are destroyed…
That's what I want to say!
The direction of the investigation
was wrong to begin with!
Yes! We need to catch the anonymous one
who wrote the letter!
All of the discussion on the Border
Stabilization Plan has disappeared
and only frustration and fear
regarding this situation remain.
Yes. They are trying to avoid
strife with Yi Seong Gye.
They don't want
his power turned against them…
That's all they are worried about.
What did you say you found in my room?
Didn't you hear me?
The one you hired left a letter.
The letter that says
he killed Lord Baek Yoon
and asks about who shall be next.
How did this happen?
Why is it…
No way….
No way is it possible that you
acted alone on such a grand scheme.
Is Sambong… really trying to kill me?
No! No…
Even if it's the case, this is not right.
This will also put Father in danger…
Your father must be involved.
Stop!
- Stop the interrogation?
- Yes.
At a time when Yi Seong Gye
led a victory in battle
if Yi Seong Gye comes up as a suspect
for murder, it will cause trouble.
How could he accuse Yi Seong Gye
as the murderer of Baek Yoon?
If he was going
to knock down Yi Seong Gye
he should have called him
to Gaegyeong first.
Does he want to go to war against
the general with 20,000 soldiers?
Does he have a dementia?
I think…
it's not Lord Lee's plot.
It's not?
Are you saying that Yi Seong Gye
really killed Baek Yoon?
It's not that. Maybe…
Chancellor!
- Monk Jukryong has returned.
- He has?
But he came with Yi Bang Woo,
the eldest son of General Yi Seong Gye.
Let's go.
Yi Seong Gye is accused
of killing Baek Yoon?
How could that be written in the letter?
That's what I want to ask you.
Are you sure that you put the letter
I gave you in Yi Bang Won's room?
After I heard the news,
I checked two, three times.
There was no mistake on our part.
Then… it's the shadow.
It's the shadow's scheme.
Then what should we do?
If the torture pushes
Yi Bang Won to confess
that his father ordered
him to do so…
we cannot predict the future.
For now, I put a stop…
to both the interrogation
and the investigation.
Please follow me.
But the problem is
the state tribunal officer.
He is known to be a stubborn man
who listens to no one.
He is in charge of the investigation
so would he stop just because he is told?
How bad did he have to be
to earn the nickname "Dumbhead"
by General Choi Young?
He was exiled several times
trying to impeach you.
He would not listen to you so easily!
Despite being exiled several times…
why do you think
he still remains in his position?
Would I have valued
his spirit so highly?
Forgive me, sir.
I should have given you the letter to
check first before I went into Dodang.
It is my mistake.
Introduce yourself.
This is Officer Nam the Dumbhead,
from the State Tribunal.
This is Cho Young.
Of course! Of course it's you, sir!
So, that's what went in
but the letter you took out
was a different one?
Why is that?
Can you think of anyone?
Since I got into politics…
there was only one time
that I was fooled this way.
So I prohibited him
from entering Gaegyeong…
but I keep getting the smell of him.
Are you…
referring to Sambong Jung Do Jeon?
Why do you ask?
Jukryong of Biguk Temple
brought up Jung Do Jeon recently.
For what?
He said he looked for Jung Do Jeon
because of someone's request.
Who would that someone be?
Everyone in the world knows
that Hong In Bang gives jobs to Jukryong.
It's possible that the shadow behind
Hong In Bang could be Jung Do Jeon.
Anyway… Yi Bang Won
is connected to that shadow.
Not only that, I believe the assassin
who killed Baek Yoon is also connected.
The investigation going forward
should be about that shadow.
And you have to report… only to me.
Yes, sir.
Also, you should report to me about
any movement in Yi Seong Gye's army.
Yes, I already have them ready.
As soon as the army moves,
I will get a message right away.
And… I need to control the one
who took the letter.
The person who worked on it is quiet.
Even if he is quiet…
he can't be more quiet than a corpse.
Yes, I understand.
What did you say?
Bang Won instigated
someone to kill Baek Yoon?
How could such a nonsense charge…
It seems that Lord Lee went too far.
My family is prepared to fight.
We have to rescue Bang Won.
Sir, Monk Namcheon is here.
Let him in.
As I was heading to Hamju,
I put a tail on Hwasadan.
Did anything happen?
You know Yak San,
who steals from the rich.
Hwasadan asked him to do a job for them.
After that, he goes to pubs often.
It seems that he earned some money.
That's him!
He must've left a fabricated letter.
Then the priority is to catch him
and hand him to the State Tribunal.
How can you trust the State Tribunal?
Lord Lee's people should be
spread around everywhere there.
You said that Officer Nam
is an upright, stubborn man.
He is, but…
First, capture Yak San.
Yes.
It was Sambong, not Lord Lee?
Sambong plotted this.
But why is there no message from him?
Did you pay the remaining balance
to Yak San?
I'm going to meet with him
and pay him today.
Send him far away.
It would be much better if it's Mount
Bukmang (place where dead people go).
I understand.
Yak San.
Right?
Who are you?
Let's go quietly.
Thank you!
My skin is shivering…
I won't show up at all
in Gaegyeong for a while.
So let me have the balance.
I'm sorry.
I'll do a good job of burying the body.
Help me!
Please help me!
If you are Yak San…
I'm going to save you.
Yes! Yes, I am Yak San.
Of course I am Yak San. Yes!
We stopped interrogating him
but we haven't let him sleep
or eat for three days.
He is strong, but he'll fall apart soon.
- You should take charge now.
- Yes.
You're going through a lot.
But…
I'm sorry to deliver this sad news.
General Yi's army
was badly defeated by Hobaldo.
Your father General Yi Seong Gye
is… also missing.
What… did you just say?
General Yi's army was defeated…
and it seems that General Yi Seong Gye
also passed away.
It's unfortunate.
Father's army…
Father's army… was defeated…
My father…
My father…
His father must be the only one
he can hang on to…
He must be shocked.
We will make him lose every
shred of hope he has been holding on to.
Then I will try to draw out the truth.
When he wakes up,
I will proceed to the next step.
Take good care of him.
If he really dies, it will be tough.
He didn't lose consciousness?
His father is dead!
He confessed that he
snuck into Bang Won's room
to place the letter that night.
Please investigate him.
You're the only one who would
conduct a fair investigation.
What is your name?
Yak San.
My name is Yak San.
How the heck did they manage the job?
So you snuck into General Yi Seong Gye's
house in Gaegyeong on the seventh day…
and left the letter in the red envelope
in Yi Bang Won's room?
Yes…
I was told that I'd get some silver coins
if I just left the letter in there.
And the one who hired you…
was a girl from Hwasadan?
That wench didn't say it herself…
but I've been living as a hoodlum
for 30 years.
It's certainly a girl from Hwasadan!
Listen carefully now.
If you wish to live…
you should never say
what you just told me to anyone else.
Pardon?
It involves a complicated power struggle
in the government.
So you should trust only me and
follow my words in order to survive.
Yes! Yes!
He seems determined.
He mentioned Hwasadan.
I made sure that he would keep quiet…
but what should I do?
What brings you here?
I heard the news that the one who
slandered General Yi was captured
so I ran right over.
External pressure.
I'm worried about that, too.
It seems that he wasn't
worried for no reason.
I see that you're here first.
What do you mean by that?
I also heard the news and came only to
understand the exact situation.
Lord Lee didn't threaten
or cajole him, right?
Then you can stick with us.
We'll guarantee
a fair investigation with no conditions.
This side or that side, I have no reason
to stick myself to any side.
It is my job to investigate.
You look more trustworthy by saying so.
I'll get going.
By the way…
that fabricated letter
found in Yi Bang Won's room…
Can you show that to me again?
You can just show me, that's all.
There really is no movement
from General Yi's army.
Are you sure?
An army of that size
cannot move in secret.
If there is any kind of move,
I will receive a message right away.
Keep watching and report to me.
Yes.
All of them…
All of them are your family members?
Yes, my family was blessed
with many children.
What are you doing? Hurry up
and introduce yourselves!
One! Two! Three! Four! Five!
Six! Seven! Eight! Nine!
Hong Dae Hong!
Hong Dae Hong from the front,
Hong Dae Hong from the back!
The end!
Is he your father?
You said he passed away.
What?
No way!
If I may… I am the founder of the 24
Eastern Twin Dragon Skills
and Moo Hyul's teacher.
The best swordsman in Great Goryeo--
Please stop!
I am deeply grateful for you
accepting all of my family members.
We will do everything you tell us to do,
whatever it is.
Show them where they will be staying.
I will see you later.
Pardon? Young Master Bang Won?
Yes, so he is confined
in the State Tribunal now.
Of course this happens
when I'm not around.
I will make sure to rescue him even if
it takes breaking into prison.
Don't joke around! Don't joke around!
Young Master Bang Woo took care of it all
so he will be released soon.
I have to accomplish something
so that my family's stay is justified.
If that's the case, then I'm relieved.
Did you learn martial arts from that
round man with some Twin Dragon Skills?
No. What 24 Eastern Twin Dragon Skills?
That man has 24 Pooper Scammer Skills.
Go to the market and deliver my letter.
This is a way to save Bang Won.
You will see a familiar face
among the taffy sellers.
You shouldn't make it obvious
that you know him.
Excuse me. Give me some taffy.
Boon!
What would you like?
The rice taffy is delicious…
Acorn taffy is good, too. Wait…
Bean taffy will be good!
Yes, bean taffy…
Thank you.
Since you're such a pretty lady,
I will give you one more.
Here.
The back alley. The back alley.
- I'm sorry.
- It's fine.
You look like a normal person…
but did you starve for days?
Why do you eat so fast?
You will have indigestion.
I have a big appetite.
Do you make good money here?
Yes. We're the best storytellers
in Gaegyeong.
You are?
How often do you perform?
Every day--
What are you doing? He's a pitiful man!
Go inside. Don't greet him in the future.
See you again.
I warned you.
That I might kill you if I saw you again.
I'll also forget about you.
You should forget about me as well.
Don't ever come back again.
Why do you keep coming back here?
I… have an answer to give him.
It's not time for this.
General Yi Seong Gye
may be coming to Gaegyeong.
General Yi won't be coming.
How can you be sure?
If he comes with his army,
he means to declare war.
If he comes alone, he will be walking
into a tiger's mouth.
Lee In Gyeom and General Yi Seong Gye
are looking for a time to negotiate.
Didn't you say
that you'd save Yi Bang Won?
I said I would save him.
But I never said that I'd
take responsibility for what he did.
He earned his father's fury
with the forged document.
He was also arrested by Lee In Gyeom
for going to Hong In Bang on his own.
They were caused by his own action.
That's not all.
He will also learn how vain the words
that he declared loudly can be.
Loneliness from being isolated and
not knowing what's going on outside
will make him weak.
And along the way, he will feel defeated
that he can never win.
At that moment,
whether he gives up or not…
It's not something that can be done
by anyone else.
Only he can do it.
He will learn
that's what responsibility means.
General Yi's army
was badly defeated by Hobaldo.
We don't know if your father
General Yi Seong Gye is dead or alive.
Could it be true?
No. It can't happen to Father.
Is it… because of me?
Because of what I started…
did he mishandle the battle?
Because of me…
Please let me out!
My father passed away…
Please let me out!
Please let me out!
Please…
He will be hopeless.
The only tie he can rely on
has been cut off.
He might be crying out from fury now…
but he will soon accept the situation
and will confess obediently after all.
- The problem is--
- It must be Yak San.
Are you watching the moves of
Hwasadan and Dohwa Mansion?
I've always kept an eye on Hwasadan.
I placed someone at Dohwa Mansion.
But… I can't do anything
about the State Tribunal.
You don't need to worry.
Officer Nam will be on strict guard.
It's difficult for anyone to reach him.
What are you thinking about?
No… Not much.
You never know. Lord Lee is a scary man.
Until we get a confession from Yak San
we shouldn't let our guard down,
even for a moment.
We don't know what he will do!
Get rid of him.
If Yak San dies, you will be suspected.
You can make it
so that I won't be suspected.
Why don't you do this?
After a fierce battle, General Yi's
army was defeated.
General Yi Seong Gye went into
Hamju Castle with the remaining soldiers
and protected the castle.
But Hobaldo's soldiers
surrounded the castle
and seized the castle in the end.
This is the only way you can survive.
Even if you confess what you saw
you will end up dying here.
Do as I say.
Who is that? Catch him! Catch him!
Catch him!
What are you saying?
As I said, while Criminal Yak San
was trying to escape last night
he was shot to death.
I am sorry.
How did you manage the criminals
to allow this to happen?
If you ask me to take responsibility,
I will.
How dare you speak of responsibility!
You should focus your full attention
on investigating Yi Bang Won…
in order to make up for this mistake.
Yes, sir.
Lord Lee made this happen.
He killed Yak San.
I trusted him, since he has a reputation
of being upright and good at his job!
How could we be defeated like this
without a fight?
We don't know anymore…
if he may have been swayed by Lord Lee.
If Yak San had confessed…
we could have even pushed out Lord Lee.
But to become
a useless bubble like this…
It's not a bubble yet.
We still have one move left.
This is the letter
found in Yi Bang Won's room.
I asked for a favor
and copied the letter.
And?
Someone who uses a sword also leaves
a trace of his martial arts in writing.
You're right. The form of using a sword
and a brush take after each other.
The swordsmanship I saw that night…
It's similar to this handwriting!
If my guess is correct
this letter is not fabricated.
He really wrote this.
And?
If Lord Lee put this letter
in Bang Won's room…
and if this is real…
then Lord Lee trained that swordsman.
So we have to capture the swordsman!
We can flip the situation completely.
You have had a match with him?
- I did.
- Let's repeat the match.
I'm sure it's him.
The one who killed Baek Yoon!
The one who broke into Biguk Temple!
The one who tried to kill you!
It's one man, who also wrote this letter.
Hong In Bang's face
was such a sight to see.
Now what do you plan to do?
In order to save his son…
he will try to negotiate with me.
In the negotiation,
I will make him withdraw
the Border Stabilization Plan…
and make him break off
the coalition with Hong.
That's why… interrogating
Yi Bang Won is important.
The one who created this game…
and challenged me…
I need to find out who the shadow is.
It must have been a big shock to you.
For what happened to your father.
But no matter how I think about it
I don't think your father had
any reason to kill Baek Yoon.
But numerous events
since the Border Stabilization Plan…
are full of strange things.
I think… there is someone
who designed this game.
And I believe you know something.
I am trying to help.
You do know
who designed this game, right?
Tell me.
Now… hurry up.
Is it…
Sambong Jung Do Jeon?
My father…
during the siege…
He passed away during the siege?
That's right.
General Yi Seong Gye… led a siege…
General Yi Seong Gye led a siege?
In over 150 battles, my father
General Yi Seong Gye never even once…
led a siege.
What do you know about General Yi's army?
If General Yi's army
was crushed by Hobaldo…
Hobaldo would've arrived in Gaegyeong
within three days.
But what are you doing now?
During the Red Turban's invasion…
and the Mongol's invasion…
isn't it a tradition for politicians to
abandon the capital and the people
and to be the first ones to run away?
It's your beautiful and fine custom.
But in this situation where
General Yi's army is defeated
you are leisurely interrogating me?
You will never make me surrender.
You will learn nothing from me!
Why?
Because I know about war…
and you don't know about war.
Do you know what war is about?
War means… killing people, after all.
I started warring when I was twelve.
That's me, Yi Bang Won.
General Yi's army is not moving at all.
They are putting all their effort
into recuperating after the war.
I'm sure they would.
Sir! Sir!
What is it about? I have a guest.
Excuse me, sir…
In front of the gate, right now…
- In front of the gate…
- In front of the gate, what?
General Yi Seong Gye is here!
He is carrying the bow and arrow…
General!
When did you arrive in Gaegyeong?
Congratulations on your victory!
You saved Goryeo yet again.
By the way, did you come from hunting?
Who are these swordsmen?
Since you were coming
with the bow and arrow…
my servants must have
been worried for me.
I tend to be easily frightened.
Please tell me. What's going on?
Release… Bang Won.
It's…
Release him without hesitation.
Since you cut to the chase right away…
I have nothing to fear either.
Will you withdraw
the Border Stabilization Plan
and return to Hamju?
If I was going to make a deal
would I have come with the bow and arrow?
You're being rude.
Didn't you swear your loyalty to me?
I did.
Because I was a son of a bitch
who bit his master back then!
Then… are you not anymore?
Should I tell everyone right now?
You had lived your whole life
mooching off from Yuan…
But when the tide turned
you betrayed your sworn brother
and opened the fortress gate
and then you surrendered to Goryeo!
That's Yi Seong Gye!
Since I reclaimed the fortress…
I have lived in fear that
it would be known to others.
But, now that this
has happened to Bang Won…
I finally realized.
I am not a dog that bit its master.
I am a tiger that lost its cub!
Honor is the most important thing
in a man's life.
Why do you think I kept my honor even
as I hid the incident with Jo So Saeng?
If I could not be honorable
I was not able to protect my people!
But, Lee In Gyeom…
You did something
you should not have done.
You dared to touch someone
within my fence?
My family, at that?
My child!
He is rude beyond reason.
To the Senior Prime Minister with
"one above, ten thousand below"
you come with the bow and arrow
and threaten me?
With one order from me, this alone is
enough for you to leave this room dead!
There is something
people are mistaken about.
The bias that the bow and arrow is
naturally a weapon for long distance.
It usually is.
But not for this Yi Seong Gye!
Not the six of you…
Regardless of what comes along…
it can't be faster than
my shooting of Lee In Gyeom.
As long as I have the bow and arrow
you will never be able to save
the Senior Prime Minister's life!
By tomorrow morning…
release Bang Won.
- Let's go.
- Yes, Brother.
Sir! Sir!
General Yi Seong Gye
entered Dohwa Mansion!
Without any escort guards?
He went in only with General Lee Ji Ran.
- Is he still in Dohwa Mansion?
- He left Dohwa Mansion not too long ago.
But he didn't go to his house.
Did I read Yi Seong Gye wrong?
We have to find him!
We have to find him tonight!
Yes, I ordered people to find him.
What is he planning to do?
Where did he go?
Did you hear the news that General
Yi Seong Gye came to Gaegyeong?
Go find him right away and report to me!
Why are you not answering me?
Sir, it seems to be
a matter of urgency…
so I brought him without your permission.
Who?
I should arrest Yi Seong Gye.
At the meeting tomorrow…
propose to have Yi Seong Gye arrested.
- Sir…
- The charge is…
suspicion of murdering Baek Yoon.
Yi Seong Gye leads 20,000 soldiers.
Do you plan to go to war against him?
Yi Seong Gye is
in Gaegyeong alone right now.
How is he…
Anyway… it's a chance.
One more thing.
Deliver the message to the Officer
at the State Tribunal.
There has to be a confession
from Yi Bang Won tonight!
Yes, I got it.
I will alert my colleagues.
Did you want to create
a new country with me?
Yes, I did.
I cannot do such a thing.
People within my fence…
My comrades, my soldiers,
and their family members.
I can't do anything else
except protect them.
So why did you come to Gaegyeong alone
in times like this?
Why did you come to me in this cave?
To protect someone in my fence.
To save Bang Won.
As long as you save Bang Won, it's over?
No! Not just Bang Won,
but to protect my people…
I should go into politics.
I need to get into Dodang.
You said you'd take me as your master.
You said you'd be my strategist.
Do you have a plan to save Bang Won?
Do you not?
The sun will rise soon.
Fine. Did you say fence?
We should start from there.
Do you have one or not?
The plan…
Of course I have one.
Let's go.
Where… are we going?
You will know when you get there.
He said he was a storyteller.
I can't figure out if it's true…
but that's the only clue so far.
Hold on…
I heard there was
a very famous storyteller here.
The storyteller!
If you came to look for a storyteller,
you came to the right place!
Please wait.
Ddang Sae! Ddang Sae, you have a visitor!
My goodness!
The one who is looking for a storyteller
so early on this morning…
Who would he be?
I'm the one!
Singing for singing,
dancing for dancing…
Tongue for tongue!
I am the storyteller great at everything!
- You are?
- Yes, of course!
Will you take off that mask?
General Yi Seong Gye
came to me last night.
He came to Gaegyeong?
Knowing that many rumors about Lord
Baek Yoon's death are going around…
he still came to Gaegyeong. It must mean
that he has nothing to hide.
So let's investigate this time
and clear him from the suspicion.
It's true that there is a suspicion…
and it's also true
that such an unfortunate letter
came out of his son Yi Bang Won's room.
If we cannot find the clear truth in this
why do we even need the government?
I believe it's right to arrest
the General and investigate him.
You don't need to arrest him.
What do you mean by that?
Because he is here right now.
General, please come in.
The letter that was found in
my fifth son's room… was fabricated!
Yes, whether the letter
was fabricated or not
and whether the charge is justified…
we should conduct an investigation.
Since we have no sure evidence
on either of them.
There is… evidence.
Really?
Why don't you show us?
Bang Woo!
He is the thief named Yak San
who escaped the State Tribunal!
He is alive!
Yi Seong Gye… How dare you!
Teacher…
With him…
Brother, recommend the Dumbhead
as the investigator!
You show up after several years,
and you bring this up out of nowhere?
Please trust me this time!
There is a stubborn man
at the State Tribunal.
You're referring to the Dumbhead!
We can leave him
to lead the investigation.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
This thief named Yak San
confessed everything
about what happened that night.
He left a letter in secret
in Bang Won's room.
Now, we only need to find
the one who hired him!
What is going on?
You've gone through a lot.
Your father will also be fine.
This man…
was also Teacher Sambong's man?
He didn't mention your name to the end.
Introduce yourselves.
This is Yi Bang Won,
a headache and a mobster.
Mobster…
And this is Dumbhead Nam,
the stubborn man at the State Tribunal.
Brother, how can you call me so?
Your nickname is so famous.
What was your real name?
Seriously…
Even my mother calls me that sometimes.
You've gone through a lot.
I'm an officer at the State Tribunal.
My name is Nam Eun.
[Nam Eun - Jung Do Jeon's revolutionary
comrade who stays with him to the end]
Nam Eun?
Mobster…
It was a great opportunity
to get rid of a mobster.
Why do you make it so hard?
Why do you think that is?
If I died
in the middle of being tortured…
the situation on the case of forging
the Plan would change…
and my father would get up and risk his
life to fight against Lee In Gyeom…
Isn't that what you wanted?
- I do want it.
- Then why?
Could it be… human empathy?
Something like that?
If that's the case, I'm disappointed.
Crazy bastard. No such thing for you.
Just one thing.
I decided to bet on only one thing.
That you are still young.
That you still have a chance.
That's what I decided to bet on.
You're supposed to get rid of a mobster
when he's young!
This is what it is to be young.
I'm going to correct your thinking.
Call me "Teacher" from now on.

[Six Flying Dragons]
Thank you for saving me.
Can we punish them?
- You have to win!
- I will win.
Can you promise me as a man to a man?
Could it be… you?
That's why Boon Yi begged me to save you.
Why didn't you tell me?
When I opened my eyes, the world changed.
With my in-law and me in the center!
Tell the one who created and won
this game that I congratulate him.
This is the end of our coalition.
I'm finally getting to know a little
about King Yi Seong Gye
of a nation I plan to create.
Ddang Sae,
what's wrong with you these days?
He's here! The storyteller showed up!
Jailsaek… Yeon Hee? Yeon Hee!
You're Jailsaek, the spy of Hwasadan?
Who on earth… switched the letter?
Just who would…
Could it be…
Could it be the shadow?
Lord Lee In Gyeom,
will you take my move now?
[Episode 12]
Since there is new evidence…
Does he intend to investigate further?
I will interrogate Yi Bang Won again
and make sure to get his confession.
Of course he would.
That is in his character.
No. No!
He will try to deny the letter itself.
If the letter is true,
he will have to arrest Yi Seong Gye
as the murderer of Baek Yoon.
Would Yi Seong Gye be defeated
without a fight?
What if an internal war breaks out with
Yi Seong Gye and his 20,000 soldiers?
He would hate to deal with such a thing.
It's easier to doubt Lee In Gyeom
than Yi Seong Gye.
Everyone!
General Yi Seong Gye crushed Hobaldo!
Pardon me, didn't you hear that
General Yi Seong Gye just led a victory?
But… to investigate him?
It's only an investigation.
First, let's look at this letter.
Is Yi Seong Gye's name or
Yi Bang Won's name in here?
This is the definition of "anonymous."
How can an anonymous letter
become evidence?
How could we present an anonymous letter
to the general coming back from victory
and ask him, "By the way,
did you kill Lord Baek Yoon?"
- But--
- He's right!
Now that I think about it, this was
a problem from the beginning.
It is a rule
that anonymous letters are destroyed…
That's what I want to say!
The direction of the investigation
was wrong to begin with!
Yes! We need to catch the anonymous one
who wrote the letter!
All of the discussion on the Border
Stabilization Plan has disappeared
and only frustration and fear
regarding this situation remain.
Yes. They are trying to avoid
strife with Yi Seong Gye.
They don't want
his power turned against them…
That's all they are worried about.
What did you say you found in my room?
Didn't you hear me?
The one you hired left a letter.
The letter that says
he killed Lord Baek Yoon
and asks about who shall be next.
How did this happen?
Why is it…
No way….
No way is it possible that you
acted alone on such a grand scheme.
Is Sambong… really trying to kill me?
No! No…
Even if it's the case, this is not right.
This will also put Father in danger…
Your father must be involved.
Stop!
- Stop the interrogation?
- Yes.
At a time when Yi Seong Gye
led a victory in battle
if Yi Seong Gye comes up as a suspect
for murder, it will cause trouble.
How could he accuse Yi Seong Gye
as the murderer of Baek Yoon?
If he was going
to knock down Yi Seong Gye
he should have called him
to Gaegyeong first.
Does he want to go to war against
the general with 20,000 soldiers?
Does he have a dementia?
I think…
it's not Lord Lee's plot.
It's not?
Are you saying that Yi Seong Gye
really killed Baek Yoon?
It's not that. Maybe…
Chancellor!
- Monk Jukryong has returned.
- He has?
But he came with Yi Bang Woo,
the eldest son of General Yi Seong Gye.
Let's go.
Yi Seong Gye is accused
of killing Baek Yoon?
How could that be written in the letter?
That's what I want to ask you.
Are you sure that you put the letter
I gave you in Yi Bang Won's room?
After I heard the news,
I checked two, three times.
There was no mistake on our part.
Then… it's the shadow.
It's the shadow's scheme.
Then what should we do?
If the torture pushes
Yi Bang Won to confess
that his father ordered
him to do so…
we cannot predict the future.
For now, I put a stop…
to both the interrogation
and the investigation.
Please follow me.
But the problem is
the state tribunal officer.
He is known to be a stubborn man
who listens to no one.
He is in charge of the investigation
so would he stop just because he is told?
How bad did he have to be
to earn the nickname "Dumbhead"
by General Choi Young?
He was exiled several times
trying to impeach you.
He would not listen to you so easily!
Despite being exiled several times…
why do you think
he still remains in his position?
Would I have valued
his spirit so highly?
Forgive me, sir.
I should have given you the letter to
check first before I went into Dodang.
It is my mistake.
Introduce yourself.
This is Officer Nam the Dumbhead,
from the State Tribunal.
This is Cho Young.
Of course! Of course it's you, sir!
So, that's what went in
but the letter you took out
was a different one?
Why is that?
Can you think of anyone?
Since I got into politics…
there was only one time
that I was fooled this way.
So I prohibited him
from entering Gaegyeong…
but I keep getting the smell of him.
Are you…
referring to Sambong Jung Do Jeon?
Why do you ask?
Jukryong of Biguk Temple
brought up Jung Do Jeon recently.
For what?
He said he looked for Jung Do Jeon
because of someone's request.
Who would that someone be?
Everyone in the world knows
that Hong In Bang gives jobs to Jukryong.
It's possible that the shadow behind
Hong In Bang could be Jung Do Jeon.
Anyway… Yi Bang Won
is connected to that shadow.
Not only that, I believe the assassin
who killed Baek Yoon is also connected.
The investigation going forward
should be about that shadow.
And you have to report… only to me.
Yes, sir.
Also, you should report to me about
any movement in Yi Seong Gye's army.
Yes, I already have them ready.
As soon as the army moves,
I will get a message right away.
And… I need to control the one
who took the letter.
The person who worked on it is quiet.
Even if he is quiet…
he can't be more quiet than a corpse.
Yes, I understand.
What did you say?
Bang Won instigated
someone to kill Baek Yoon?
How could such a nonsense charge…
It seems that Lord Lee went too far.
My family is prepared to fight.
We have to rescue Bang Won.
Sir, Monk Namcheon is here.
Let him in.
As I was heading to Hamju,
I put a tail on Hwasadan.
Did anything happen?
You know Yak San,
who steals from the rich.
Hwasadan asked him to do a job for them.
After that, he goes to pubs often.
It seems that he earned some money.
That's him!
He must've left a fabricated letter.
Then the priority is to catch him
and hand him to the State Tribunal.
How can you trust the State Tribunal?
Lord Lee's people should be
spread around everywhere there.
You said that Officer Nam
is an upright, stubborn man.
He is, but…
First, capture Yak San.
Yes.
It was Sambong, not Lord Lee?
Sambong plotted this.
But why is there no message from him?
Did you pay the remaining balance
to Yak San?
I'm going to meet with him
and pay him today.
Send him far away.
It would be much better if it's Mount
Bukmang (place where dead people go).
I understand.
Yak San.
Right?
Who are you?
Let's go quietly.
Thank you!
My skin is shivering…
I won't show up at all
in Gaegyeong for a while.
So let me have the balance.
I'm sorry.
I'll do a good job of burying the body.
Help me!
Please help me!
If you are Yak San…
I'm going to save you.
Yes! Yes, I am Yak San.
Of course I am Yak San. Yes!
We stopped interrogating him
but we haven't let him sleep
or eat for three days.
He is strong, but he'll fall apart soon.
- You should take charge now.
- Yes.
You're going through a lot.
But…
I'm sorry to deliver this sad news.
General Yi's army
was badly defeated by Hobaldo.
Your father General Yi Seong Gye
is… also missing.
What… did you just say?
General Yi's army was defeated…
and it seems that General Yi Seong Gye
also passed away.
It's unfortunate.
Father's army…
Father's army… was defeated…
My father…
My father…
His father must be the only one
he can hang on to…
He must be shocked.
We will make him lose every
shred of hope he has been holding on to.
Then I will try to draw out the truth.
When he wakes up,
I will proceed to the next step.
Take good care of him.
If he really dies, it will be tough.
He didn't lose consciousness?
His father is dead!
He confessed that he
snuck into Bang Won's room
to place the letter that night.
Please investigate him.
You're the only one who would
conduct a fair investigation.
What is your name?
Yak San.
My name is Yak San.
How the heck did they manage the job?
So you snuck into General Yi Seong Gye's
house in Gaegyeong on the seventh day…
and left the letter in the red envelope
in Yi Bang Won's room?
Yes…
I was told that I'd get some silver coins
if I just left the letter in there.
And the one who hired you…
was a girl from Hwasadan?
That wench didn't say it herself…
but I've been living as a hoodlum
for 30 years.
It's certainly a girl from Hwasadan!
Listen carefully now.
If you wish to live…
you should never say
what you just told me to anyone else.
Pardon?
It involves a complicated power struggle
in the government.
So you should trust only me and
follow my words in order to survive.
Yes! Yes!
He seems determined.
He mentioned Hwasadan.
I made sure that he would keep quiet…
but what should I do?
What brings you here?
I heard the news that the one who
slandered General Yi was captured
so I ran right over.
External pressure.
I'm worried about that, too.
It seems that he wasn't
worried for no reason.
I see that you're here first.
What do you mean by that?
I also heard the news and came only to
understand the exact situation.
Lord Lee didn't threaten
or cajole him, right?
Then you can stick with us.
We'll guarantee
a fair investigation with no conditions.
This side or that side, I have no reason
to stick myself to any side.
It is my job to investigate.
You look more trustworthy by saying so.
I'll get going.
By the way…
that fabricated letter
found in Yi Bang Won's room…
Can you show that to me again?
You can just show me, that's all.
There really is no movement
from General Yi's army.
Are you sure?
An army of that size
cannot move in secret.
If there is any kind of move,
I will receive a message right away.
Keep watching and report to me.
Yes.
All of them…
All of them are your family members?
Yes, my family was blessed
with many children.
What are you doing? Hurry up
and introduce yourselves!
One! Two! Three! Four! Five!
Six! Seven! Eight! Nine!
Hong Dae Hong!
Hong Dae Hong from the front,
Hong Dae Hong from the back!
The end!
Is he your father?
You said he passed away.
What?
No way!
If I may… I am the founder of the 24
Eastern Twin Dragon Skills
and Moo Hyul's teacher.
The best swordsman in Great Goryeo--
Please stop!
I am deeply grateful for you
accepting all of my family members.
We will do everything you tell us to do,
whatever it is.
Show them where they will be staying.
I will see you later.
Pardon? Young Master Bang Won?
Yes, so he is confined
in the State Tribunal now.
Of course this happens
when I'm not around.
I will make sure to rescue him even if
it takes breaking into prison.
Don't joke around! Don't joke around!
Young Master Bang Woo took care of it all
so he will be released soon.
I have to accomplish something
so that my family's stay is justified.
If that's the case, then I'm relieved.
Did you learn martial arts from that
round man with some Twin Dragon Skills?
No. What 24 Eastern Twin Dragon Skills?
That man has 24 Pooper Scammer Skills.
Go to the market and deliver my letter.
This is a way to save Bang Won.
You will see a familiar face
among the taffy sellers.
You shouldn't make it obvious
that you know him.
Excuse me. Give me some taffy.
Boon!
What would you like?
The rice taffy is delicious…
Acorn taffy is good, too. Wait…
Bean taffy will be good!
Yes, bean taffy…
Thank you.
Since you're such a pretty lady,
I will give you one more.
Here.
The back alley. The back alley.
- I'm sorry.
- It's fine.
You look like a normal person…
but did you starve for days?
Why do you eat so fast?
You will have indigestion.
I have a big appetite.
Do you make good money here?
Yes. We're the best storytellers
in Gaegyeong.
You are?
How often do you perform?
Every day--
What are you doing? He's a pitiful man!
Go inside. Don't greet him in the future.
See you again.
I warned you.
That I might kill you if I saw you again.
I'll also forget about you.
You should forget about me as well.
Don't ever come back again.
Why do you keep coming back here?
I… have an answer to give him.
It's not time for this.
General Yi Seong Gye
may be coming to Gaegyeong.
General Yi won't be coming.
How can you be sure?
If he comes with his army,
he means to declare war.
If he comes alone, he will be walking
into a tiger's mouth.
Lee In Gyeom and General Yi Seong Gye
are looking for a time to negotiate.
Didn't you say
that you'd save Yi Bang Won?
I said I would save him.
But I never said that I'd
take responsibility for what he did.
He earned his father's fury
with the forged document.
He was also arrested by Lee In Gyeom
for going to Hong In Bang on his own.
They were caused by his own action.
That's not all.
He will also learn how vain the words
that he declared loudly can be.
Loneliness from being isolated and
not knowing what's going on outside
will make him weak.
And along the way, he will feel defeated
that he can never win.
At that moment,
whether he gives up or not…
It's not something that can be done
by anyone else.
Only he can do it.
He will learn
that's what responsibility means.
General Yi's army
was badly defeated by Hobaldo.
We don't know if your father
General Yi Seong Gye is dead or alive.
Could it be true?
No. It can't happen to Father.
Is it… because of me?
Because of what I started…
did he mishandle the battle?
Because of me…
Please let me out!
My father passed away…
Please let me out!
Please let me out!
Please…
He will be hopeless.
The only tie he can rely on
has been cut off.
He might be crying out from fury now…
but he will soon accept the situation
and will confess obediently after all.
- The problem is--
- It must be Yak San.
Are you watching the moves of
Hwasadan and Dohwa Mansion?
I've always kept an eye on Hwasadan.
I placed someone at Dohwa Mansion.
But… I can't do anything
about the State Tribunal.
You don't need to worry.
Officer Nam will be on strict guard.
It's difficult for anyone to reach him.
What are you thinking about?
No… Not much.
You never know. Lord Lee is a scary man.
Until we get a confession from Yak San
we shouldn't let our guard down,
even for a moment.
We don't know what he will do!
Get rid of him.
If Yak San dies, you will be suspected.
You can make it
so that I won't be suspected.
Why don't you do this?
After a fierce battle, General Yi's
army was defeated.
General Yi Seong Gye went into
Hamju Castle with the remaining soldiers
and protected the castle.
But Hobaldo's soldiers
surrounded the castle
and seized the castle in the end.
This is the only way you can survive.
Even if you confess what you saw
you will end up dying here.
Do as I say.
Who is that? Catch him! Catch him!
Catch him!
What are you saying?
As I said, while Criminal Yak San
was trying to escape last night
he was shot to death.
I am sorry.
How did you manage the criminals
to allow this to happen?
If you ask me to take responsibility,
I will.
How dare you speak of responsibility!
You should focus your full attention
on investigating Yi Bang Won…
in order to make up for this mistake.
Yes, sir.
Lord Lee made this happen.
He killed Yak San.
I trusted him, since he has a reputation
of being upright and good at his job!
How could we be defeated like this
without a fight?
We don't know anymore…
if he may have been swayed by Lord Lee.
If Yak San had confessed…
we could have even pushed out Lord Lee.
But to become
a useless bubble like this…
It's not a bubble yet.
We still have one move left.
This is the letter
found in Yi Bang Won's room.
I asked for a favor
and copied the letter.
And?
Someone who uses a sword also leaves
a trace of his martial arts in writing.
You're right. The form of using a sword
and a brush take after each other.
The swordsmanship I saw that night…
It's similar to this handwriting!
If my guess is correct
this letter is not fabricated.
He really wrote this.
And?
If Lord Lee put this letter
in Bang Won's room…
and if this is real…
then Lord Lee trained that swordsman.
So we have to capture the swordsman!
We can flip the situation completely.
You have had a match with him?
- I did.
- Let's repeat the match.
I'm sure it's him.
The one who killed Baek Yoon!
The one who broke into Biguk Temple!
The one who tried to kill you!
It's one man, who also wrote this letter.
Hong In Bang's face
was such a sight to see.
Now what do you plan to do?
In order to save his son…
he will try to negotiate with me.
In the negotiation,
I will make him withdraw
the Border Stabilization Plan…
and make him break off
the coalition with Hong.
That's why… interrogating
Yi Bang Won is important.
The one who created this game…
and challenged me…
I need to find out who the shadow is.
It must have been a big shock to you.
For what happened to your father.
But no matter how I think about it
I don't think your father had
any reason to kill Baek Yoon.
But numerous events
since the Border Stabilization Plan…
are full of strange things.
I think… there is someone
who designed this game.
And I believe you know something.
I am trying to help.
You do know
who designed this game, right?
Tell me.
Now… hurry up.
Is it…
Sambong Jung Do Jeon?
My father…
during the siege…
He passed away during the siege?
That's right.
General Yi Seong Gye… led a siege…
General Yi Seong Gye led a siege?
In over 150 battles, my father
General Yi Seong Gye never even once…
led a siege.
What do you know about General Yi's army?
If General Yi's army
was crushed by Hobaldo…
Hobaldo would've arrived in Gaegyeong
within three days.
But what are you doing now?
During the Red Turban's invasion…
and the Mongol's invasion…
isn't it a tradition for politicians to
abandon the capital and the people
and to be the first ones to run away?
It's your beautiful and fine custom.
But in this situation where
General Yi's army is defeated
you are leisurely interrogating me?
You will never make me surrender.
You will learn nothing from me!
Why?
Because I know about war…
and you don't know about war.
Do you know what war is about?
War means… killing people, after all.
I started warring when I was twelve.
That's me, Yi Bang Won.
General Yi's army is not moving at all.
They are putting all their effort
into recuperating after the war.
I'm sure they would.
Sir! Sir!
What is it about? I have a guest.
Excuse me, sir…
In front of the gate, right now…
- In front of the gate…
- In front of the gate, what?
General Yi Seong Gye is here!
He is carrying the bow and arrow…
General!
When did you arrive in Gaegyeong?
Congratulations on your victory!
You saved Goryeo yet again.
By the way, did you come from hunting?
Who are these swordsmen?
Since you were coming
with the bow and arrow…
my servants must have
been worried for me.
I tend to be easily frightened.
Please tell me. What's going on?
Release… Bang Won.
It's…
Release him without hesitation.
Since you cut to the chase right away…
I have nothing to fear either.
Will you withdraw
the Border Stabilization Plan
and return to Hamju?
If I was going to make a deal
would I have come with the bow and arrow?
You're being rude.
Didn't you swear your loyalty to me?
I did.
Because I was a son of a bitch
who bit his master back then!
Then… are you not anymore?
Should I tell everyone right now?
You had lived your whole life
mooching off from Yuan…
But when the tide turned
you betrayed your sworn brother
and opened the fortress gate
and then you surrendered to Goryeo!
That's Yi Seong Gye!
Since I reclaimed the fortress…
I have lived in fear that
it would be known to others.
But, now that this
has happened to Bang Won…
I finally realized.
I am not a dog that bit its master.
I am a tiger that lost its cub!
Honor is the most important thing
in a man's life.
Why do you think I kept my honor even
as I hid the incident with Jo So Saeng?
If I could not be honorable
I was not able to protect my people!
But, Lee In Gyeom…
You did something
you should not have done.
You dared to touch someone
within my fence?
My family, at that?
My child!
He is rude beyond reason.
To the Senior Prime Minister with
"one above, ten thousand below"
you come with the bow and arrow
and threaten me?
With one order from me, this alone is
enough for you to leave this room dead!
There is something
people are mistaken about.
The bias that the bow and arrow is
naturally a weapon for long distance.
It usually is.
But not for this Yi Seong Gye!
Not the six of you…
Regardless of what comes along…
it can't be faster than
my shooting of Lee In Gyeom.
As long as I have the bow and arrow
you will never be able to save
the Senior Prime Minister's life!
By tomorrow morning…
release Bang Won.
- Let's go.
- Yes, Brother.
Sir! Sir!
General Yi Seong Gye
entered Dohwa Mansion!
Without any escort guards?
He went in only with General Lee Ji Ran.
- Is he still in Dohwa Mansion?
- He left Dohwa Mansion not too long ago.
But he didn't go to his house.
Did I read Yi Seong Gye wrong?
We have to find him!
We have to find him tonight!
Yes, I ordered people to find him.
What is he planning to do?
Where did he go?
Did you hear the news that General
Yi Seong Gye came to Gaegyeong?
Go find him right away and report to me!
Why are you not answering me?
Sir, it seems to be
a matter of urgency…
so I brought him without your permission.
Who?
I should arrest Yi Seong Gye.
At the meeting tomorrow…
propose to have Yi Seong Gye arrested.
- Sir…
- The charge is…
suspicion of murdering Baek Yoon.
Yi Seong Gye leads 20,000 soldiers.
Do you plan to go to war against him?
Yi Seong Gye is
in Gaegyeong alone right now.
How is he…
Anyway… it's a chance.
One more thing.
Deliver the message to the Officer
at the State Tribunal.
There has to be a confession
from Yi Bang Won tonight!
Yes, I got it.
I will alert my colleagues.
Did you want to create
a new country with me?
Yes, I did.
I cannot do such a thing.
People within my fence…
My comrades, my soldiers,
and their family members.
I can't do anything else
except protect them.
So why did you come to Gaegyeong alone
in times like this?
Why did you come to me in this cave?
To protect someone in my fence.
To save Bang Won.
As long as you save Bang Won, it's over?
No! Not just Bang Won,
but to protect my people…
I should go into politics.
I need to get into Dodang.
You said you'd take me as your master.
You said you'd be my strategist.
Do you have a plan to save Bang Won?
Do you not?
The sun will rise soon.
Fine. Did you say fence?
We should start from there.
Do you have one or not?
The plan…
Of course I have one.
Let's go.
Where… are we going?
You will know when you get there.
He said he was a storyteller.
I can't figure out if it's true…
but that's the only clue so far.
Hold on…
I heard there was
a very famous storyteller here.
The storyteller!
If you came to look for a storyteller,
you came to the right place!
Please wait.
Ddang Sae! Ddang Sae, you have a visitor!
My goodness!
The one who is looking for a storyteller
so early on this morning…
Who would he be?
I'm the one!
Singing for singing,
dancing for dancing…
Tongue for tongue!
I am the storyteller great at everything!
- You are?
- Yes, of course!
Will you take off that mask?
General Yi Seong Gye
came to me last night.
He came to Gaegyeong?
Knowing that many rumors about Lord
Baek Yoon's death are going around…
he still came to Gaegyeong. It must mean
that he has nothing to hide.
So let's investigate this time
and clear him from the suspicion.
It's true that there is a suspicion…
and it's also true
that such an unfortunate letter
came out of his son Yi Bang Won's room.
If we cannot find the clear truth in this
why do we even need the government?
I believe it's right to arrest
the General and investigate him.
You don't need to arrest him.
What do you mean by that?
Because he is here right now.
General, please come in.
The letter that was found in
my fifth son's room… was fabricated!
Yes, whether the letter
was fabricated or not
and whether the charge is justified…
we should conduct an investigation.
Since we have no sure evidence
on either of them.
There is… evidence.
Really?
Why don't you show us?
Bang Woo!
He is the thief named Yak San
who escaped the State Tribunal!
He is alive!
Yi Seong Gye… How dare you!
Teacher…
With him…
Brother, recommend the Dumbhead
as the investigator!
You show up after several years,
and you bring this up out of nowhere?
Please trust me this time!
There is a stubborn man
at the State Tribunal.
You're referring to the Dumbhead!
We can leave him
to lead the investigation.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
This thief named Yak San
confessed everything
about what happened that night.
He left a letter in secret
in Bang Won's room.
Now, we only need to find
the one who hired him!
What is going on?
You've gone through a lot.
Your father will also be fine.
This man…
was also Teacher Sambong's man?
He didn't mention your name to the end.
Introduce yourselves.
This is Yi Bang Won,
a headache and a mobster.
Mobster…
And this is Dumbhead Nam,
the stubborn man at the State Tribunal.
Brother, how can you call me so?
Your nickname is so famous.
What was your real name?
Seriously…
Even my mother calls me that sometimes.
You've gone through a lot.
I'm an officer at the State Tribunal.
My name is Nam Eun.
[Nam Eun - Jung Do Jeon's revolutionary
comrade who stays with him to the end]
Nam Eun?
Mobster…
It was a great opportunity
to get rid of a mobster.
Why do you make it so hard?
Why do you think that is?
If I died
in the middle of being tortured…
the situation on the case of forging
the Plan would change…
and my father would get up and risk his
life to fight against Lee In Gyeom…
Isn't that what you wanted?
- I do want it.
- Then why?
Could it be… human empathy?
Something like that?
If that's the case, I'm disappointed.
Crazy bastard. No such thing for you.
Just one thing.
I decided to bet on only one thing.
That you are still young.
That you still have a chance.
That's what I decided to bet on.
You're supposed to get rid of a mobster
when he's young!
This is what it is to be young.
I'm going to correct your thinking.
Call me "Teacher" from now on.

Thank you for saving me.
Can we punish them?
- You have to win!
- I will win.
Can you promise me as a man to a man?
Could it be… you?
That's why Boon Yi begged me to save you.
Why didn't you tell me?
When I opened my eyes, the world changed.
With my in-law and me in the center!
Tell the one who created and won
this game that I congratulate him.
This is the end of our coalition.
I'm finally getting to know a little
about King Yi Seong Gye
of a nation I plan to create.
Ddang Sae,
what's wrong with you these days?
He's here! The storyteller showed up!
Jailsaek… Yeon Hee? Yeon Hee!
You're Jailsaek, the spy of Hwasadan?
