[Episode 36]
Did the General…
give his permission?
Young Master!
Did the General order this?
No.
I am doing this… I, Yi Bang Won.
His guard is…
Does it matter?
You're the best swordsman in the country.
His servant and a tiny one who looks like
a girl did bring a sword.
Could it be…
Before Teacher Poeun enters the palace…
we have to finish it off.
Sambong…
You should blame me.
But I have to do this
in order to protect the country.
By tomorrow, will the fight be over?
Why do you ask?
I just hope… that it's over soon.
It will be.
We should end it soon.
It is painful for you, isn't it?
Am I wrong?
It is painful,
but this is what I have to do.
What choice do I have?
It is also very painful for me…
to fight.
Murderous energy.
What is wrong?
You should hurry back to the palace.
Is someone following us?
I will follow you soon.
Boon Yi.
Is Young Master inside?
I looked for him everywhere,
but I couldn't find him.
I couldn't find Young Kyu
or Bang Ji either.
Young Master must not have told you.
About what?
Did Young Master go somewhere?
Are you chasing Lord Poeun?
Because Cheok Sa Gwang is a girl.
Are you… by any chance…
You must be Warrior Lee Bang Ji,
the best swordsman in the country.
Why are you chasing Lord Poeun?
Do you plan to kill Lord Poeun?
I have a dream that I buried a long
time ago and have not yet realized.
A dream?
It is to end Goryeo.
Did they… go out to kill Lord Poeun?
- Please keep quiet.
- Tell me!
Young Master, Bang Ji, Young Kyu…
Did they really go out
to kill Lord Poeun?
Yes.
Damn it.
Where? Where did they go?
What's wrong?
- They will all be killed.
- What?
Young Master Bang Won, Bang Ji,
and Young Kyu…
All of them will be dead.
What do you mean by that?
Cheok Sa Gwang is there!
Where are they? Tell me now!
It's probably the path to the palace.
The palace!
But I can't send you to Lord Poeun
until you kill me.
Are you Cheok Sa Gwang?
Yes.
I wanted to have a match with you anyway.
Fighting for bragging rights…
is what I despise the most.
Fortunately, you have a very long life.
Do I?
Yes, it is very long… as long as you
don't meet your Grim Reaper.
Grim Reaper… What do you mean?
For those living a life with a sword
in hand, there may come a time.
Your Grim Reaper…
may be your luck of that day.
It could be the weather
or sometimes it can be a poop that
you have to take all of a sudden.
It can also be a scary master.
And if I see it?
You have to hope that you don't see it.
Teacher, I believe
I have met my Grim Reaper.
It happens often…
that a warrior's body is not collected,
and left to lie on the field.
Warrior…
You're too strong.
So I cannot hold back
while I fight you.
I apologize.
It doesn't matter if I die.
If we can't catch Poeun tonight,
it's over for all of us.
Yi Bang Won, you are getting it done,
aren't you?
He blocked this.
Let's finish it quickly.
You seem to be running
short of breath, Cheok Sa Gwang.
Yi Bang Won seems to be planning
to attack Poeun.
Lee Bang Ji and soldiers of General Yi
went outside. Moo Hyul followed them.
Moogook!
Will Poeun die?
But Cheok Sa Gwang is with Poeun.
If Lee Bang Ji and Cheok Sa Gwang
have a match, what would happen?
Based on my experience of
fighting against both of them…
Lee Bang Ji… will die.
You won't need to worry.
Goksan swordsmanship…
It looks impressive, but surprisingly,
its basic moves are simple.
This technique…
is not unfamiliar to me.
Could it be…
Also, she slowed down a bit
compared to when we first started.
Warrior, how are you involved with
the Master of the Moodang swordsmanship?
He is my teacher.
Our ill-fate is deeper than I thought.
I have to make him run.
I shouldn't let her rest.
It did not go in so deep.
Why…
Are you…
This is the first time
a sword has ever cut you, isn't it?
I didn't know it would take this long.
If someone else followed Lord Poeun…
I have to finish up quickly.
You are still alive, Bang Ji.
Cheok Sa Gwang!
This warrior
is confident with his defense.
I'm sure he will block it
without avoiding it.
Let's finish it.
"Beheading of horse and human."
No!
Don't block it! Avoid it!
It won't work like this.
As for weakness…
it's not always with the technique.
It is with the person.
The person?
To be honest…
I haven't had much experience
in real fights.
No matter how perfect
the swordsmanship is
if the person lacks experience
it will be difficult to respond
in an abnormal situation.
In an abnormal situation?
He dropped the sword.
Split-second hesitation?
I hate killing people.
Stay hesitant, Cheok Sa Gwang.
Moo Hyul!
What brings you here?
When the day breaks…
will you execute Teacher Sambong
and our people?
Since they tried to change the country
the price of their crime
calls for their lives.
Will you not give up on this land?
This is the country
where I was born and grew up in.
The land that my family,
my cohorts, and I grew up in…
If I turn my back on this country…
how could I call myself
a Confucius scholar?
The country… The country, you say?
Will you use the people
as an excuse again?
You once told me
not to sell the people out.
Thus I have taken
another good look at the people.
But the thing with people is, in truth
they do not care
what happens to the nation.
So are you saying that those
pitiful people want a new country?
What would it matter to the people
whether it happens this way or that?
Whether you lose the land
or Sambong establishes a new country
it does not matter to them at all.
As long as they have food and find joy
in their lives, that is enough for them.
You're using the people
as an excuse again.
Who would blame the arrowroots of
Mount Mansoo for being tangled together?
Teacher Sambong and you…
If both of you are entwined…
join forces and help the people
feel the joy of life…
Who would dare to blame you
with the tip of history's brush
that you value so highly?
"The people"…
"The joy of life"…
Listen carefully.
A Confucian scholar
does not follow the people.
We keep the people in our hearts,
and guide them.
You need a country to guide them
and the Confucian scholar's heart
is called devotion.
If you lose devotion…
the people in your heart
will disappear as well.
Tonight…
No matter what happens tonight…
will nothing change your mind?
How is it that no matter what we do,
we cannot have you come over to our side?
It is truly a trivial threat.
Look.
General Yi Seong Gye and Sambong…
No matter what you do…
the only things you can gain are…
Goryeo and this pathetic body.
Kill me and kill me again.
Try to kill me a hundred times!
Until all of my bones rot and my body
returns to the Earth and becomes dust
you shall not have a piece of my
fiercely devoted single-minded heart.
That heart… is admirable.
Yes, I understand what you mean, Teacher.
Ah, there is one thing you shall have.
A thousand years of notoriety!
You will be entwined
with the name Jung Mong Joo
for a thousand years to come
from tomorrow morning.
You will be recorded and talked about.
I hope you endure it well.
Yes, I will!
If my name cannot be tied with yours
in this present life
let it go down with yours in history!
Young Kyu!
Sambong, it turned out the way you said.
I hoped to devote my life for
a thousand year plan of Goryeo.
This land will see its end,
and I will live a thousand years.
How absurd is this?
Cheok Sa Gwang…
was she defeated?
Fate really is capricious.
What on earth happened here?
He looks like a man of high rank.
Isn't this Teacher Poeun? Look!
You're right!
My goodness, what happened here?
Lord Jung Mong Joo! My goodness!
Come outside.
What's going on?
Isn't the execution at six o'clock?
Young Kyu.
Are you all right?
Are you all right?
Yes, Young Master.
I've done a lot worse things before.
But… why am I shaking so much?
You've done a big thing.
A really big thing.
What happens now?
A lot will change.
Starting from tomorrow…
there will be many changes.
What?
Tell me again.
What do you mean?
Lord Poeun… at Seonjook Bridge…
He was murdered!
Yi Bang Won, Yi Seong Gye's fifth son,
supposedly did this.
Poeun…
Poeun!
How could this happen…
How…
However, sire…
Please gather your strength!
Poeun…
What happened… to Poeun?
Was he really murdered?
Yes. Yes, Teacher.
This can't happen.
How could Poeun…
How could Poeun pass away like that?
Teacher…
Yi Seong Gye's people must've done it!
What do we do
about these treacherous thieves!
Brother…
Don't be shocked…
Listen carefully.
On his way back
from here to the palace…
Lord Poeun was murdered.
He was murdered? By whom?
It looks like Bang Won did it.
Now, let's go!
You scared me!
What are you doing here?
What happened to my brother?
What about my Moo Hyul?
What happened to him?
What?
Ddang Sae and Moo Hyul are not back.
- They're not back?
- No. Weren't you with them?
What happened?
We were divided into two teams.
Did Bang Ji follow Cheok Sa Gwang?
Cheok Sa Gwang? Who is Cheok Sa Gwang?
Right,
he was supposed to lead that warrior.
No way! Damn it!
- Brother!
- Bang Ji!
My goodness!
Moo Hyul… Where is Moo Hyul?
He's not back yet?
What do you mean? Weren't you with him?
Last night, Moo Hyul… fell off
a cliff with Cheok Sa Gwang.
I haven't found them yet.
Moo Hyul! What do you mean?
Did she use the descending skill
in my arms?
She's alive!
My poor Moo Hyul…
My Moo Hyul… What do I do…
What do I do…
Everyone's looking for him now,
so please don't worry.
Boon Yi called
all of her market contacts--
I told Moo Hyul so many times
not to go outside…
Moo Hyul wouldn't die so easily.
Don't waste your energy. Just wait.
- Warrior Moo Hyul!
- Where are you?
Moo Hyul!
Warrior Moo Hyul!
[Daesung Hall (Confucius Shrine)]
Was it so impossible?
Was it not forgivable at all?
As a Confucius scholar,
I only followed your teaching.
I followed the teaching that the people
are more important than the country
and came to this path, so why!
Why did Poeun and I have to come to this?
Why? Why!
If I really tried…
can we create a country
as written in this book?
We can! Let's create one.
We can create one.
How is it possible?
This… Useless!
It can't even convince Poeun!
What's the use of this plan?
Brother, what are you doing?
What? Our great cause fell apart anyway.
Can't you see?
Brother!
My dear, Father is looking for you.
I may be killed by Father today.
He cannot kill you.
So please don't avoid it.
Go with confidence.
I will. I will be back.
My dear.
Probably no one has told you this yet.
You've done well.
Father, this is Bang Won.
Father…
I am sorry.
Pay for your crime with your own life.
Die.
Bang Won!
I made it clear to you
that you should not touch Poeun.
You went against that order
but you would follow the order
to kill yourself. What's the reason?
Even if you had to die…
you want to say that you are right!
"Father is wrong! I am right!"
"That's why I did everything
based on my judgment!"
Even if it is against your father!
Even when you stamped my seal on
the Border Stabilization Plan in secret!
Even when you beat Poeun
to death on your own!
That temper of yours
to do whatever you want!
I don't like your temper either!
Even when your path is clearly laid out
for you, your eyes wander elsewhere.
What is so complicated about it?
Is it so easy for you
to turn all of the Sadaebu
who follow Poeun into your enemy?
Then what was the right course of action?
Teacher Sambong, Woojae…
Even Teacher Nam Eun.
Should we have let them be executed?
You turned our great cause
into a massacre!
The remaining pity and empathy that
people had for us is about to disappear!
Do we really need those
for the path to ruling?
- To be a king means--
- I will not!
I will not be a king.
Yes, quit if you want to!
If you're afraid to take responsibility
if you are afraid of being criticized
if you hate so much to dirty your hands
then you should quit.
How dare you, Bang Won!
Bang Woo, don't do this!
How can you kill Teacher Poeun!
Yes, you must've been ready
for your own death!
Bang Woo!
Bang Gwa! Arrest this criminal right now.
Bang Woo, please calm down!
If you can't do it, I will!
Bang Woo!
Bang Won, run away! Hurry up and run!
Let go of me! Let go!
Even a little child
knows that Teacher Poeun was loyal!
If His Majesty doesn't punish the one
who killed the loyal retainer
who in this country
would offer his loyalty?
You're right. We should punish
the killer Yi Bang Won by death!
You're right! We should unite and put up
this poster everywhere in Gaegyeong.
We should also send a plea
to His Majesty!
- Of course!
- We should ask for punishment!
Isn't this a letter of resignation?
What on earth--
Until the punishment for the one who
murdered Teacher Poeun is executed…
we will not be back.
This cannot happen!
I do know about your sadness and fury.
But if we make a rash move…
I am afraid that the harm will reach you.
We are ready to die!
This Bang Won, really…
Teacher, please support us!
We are ready to die!
We are ready to die!
We are ready to die!
Execute Bang Won?
What should we do about this?
What does it mean?
Warrior!
What happened?
Oh my, what do we do about your face?
My goodness…
This handsome face…
Of course! Nothing could've gone wrong
with my Moo Hyul!
You said that I have
the best luck in Goryeo.
Of course you have the best luck!
That's why I wasn't worried at all
last night! I slept really well.
You couldn't sleep even for a second,
you were scratching the wall!
When did I do that?
By the way, is it true that
Teacher Poeun passed away?
While we were on this, Young Kyu…
I see.
What happened to you?
When I woke up,
Cheok Sa Gwang wasn't around.
That's a relief.
Hey, were you worried?
You intended to jump off.
You could have died.
That's right. You should run first
if you meet a strong match.
It's not that you were determined to die!
I don't know why Cheok Sa Gwang
tried to protect Teacher Poeun.
But if she is alive…
wouldn't she want to take revenge?
Anyway, what's with the poster
hanging up in the market?
A lot of scholars respect Teacher Poeun.
Everything will pass!
And to be honest, Teacher Poeun
started everything.
Would they see it that way?
People just take the side
of the deceased.
The opinion that Young Master Bang Won
should be executed
seems to be spreading from Sungkyunkwan.
Sir, regardless of the situation--
I killed Poeun after all.
He died because of me.
Are you still lamenting that
the great cause has been destroyed?
I wanted to remain a Confucius scholar,
so I acted like a baby to Poeun.
I shouldn't have done it…
and I shouldn't have done it
to Poeun either.
Then…
So what should you have done?
I mean, what do you plan to do?
Now, there are two paths for me.
Either I live mercilessly
or I die mercilessly.
Sir!
The legitimacy we lost in the beginning
of our great cause …
can now only be recovered with the country
that we will create.
Let's go.
I have to go see the General.
I made it clear that
you should not touch Poeun!
Bang Gwa! Arrest this criminal right now!
Yi Bang Won!
Let's go.
This is where the meaning of
"ungrateful" comes from.
No shame at all, Yi Bang Won!
He's the one who killed Teacher Poeun!
One more thing.
Are you hesitant because you're afraid of
being abandoned and becoming lonely?
How could he kill his own teacher?
Look.
Look here.
I told you to act cautiously
until I came.
Why did you cause this trouble?
Would you have had a different solution?
I do.
Assassination.
You should've assassinated him.
Of course you would have been doubted.
But you could play innocent.
What could they do?
All the power is in the hands
of the Lee Family from Jeonju.
People would whisper,
but then it would pass.
My action was justified!
Why would I have to assassinate him?
I stopped someone who was
about to harm my father.
And I punished the one who stopped
history from taking a step forward
under my name, Yi Bang Won!
He really is impatient…
He doesn't know how it will
come back to haunt him.
Are you all right?
What could I do if I'm not all right?
The General's anger will be gone soon.
Even if it doesn't, I can't help it.
I need to go to Teacher Sambong.
- He entered Mokcheong House just now.
- He did? Let's go.
Has your body been healed?
Sambong…
How…
How… could it have come to this?
Without going outside, I think I know
how the people feel.
How the world thinks of me, and us.
I think I know.
What can we do now?
- General.
- Go ahead and speak.
Brother Poeun…
Behead Poeun…
and his head
should be hung up in the market.
What did you say?
Behead Poeun and have the head
hang up in the market.
You have to announce
that he is a traitor!
Look, Sambong!
Are you out of your mind?
Was this… the great cause you wanted?
Killing General Choi Young,
driving out Lord Lee Saek…
Beating the man who came for a visit
with an iron mace!
As if it's not enough, you want to behead
him and accuse him of being a traitor?
I've killed many enemies
on the battlefield
but I didn't kill them this way!
I slashed the throat of an enemy who
abandoned soldiers only to save himself!
But the general who fought
to the end with his soldiers--
Yes, you made sure to hold
a grand funeral for him.
Then?
For this Yi Seong Gye…
to accuse Jung Mong Joo
of being a traitor?
Then should we erect a monument
for Poeun's loyalty
and honor him with a shrine?
General, we have to take responsibility.
Regardless of the situation,
we have to take responsibility!
That's politics.
That's the least a politician must do.
The nature of politics
has never changed even once.
Politics means responsibility.
Poeun was against our wishes…
and he fulfilled his political duty
with his death.
In our own way, in this path we entered
even at the cost of Poeun's death
we must complete our plan to success!
Otherwise, all of us have to die.
Is Teacher Sambong still the only one
who can make Father go forward?
If Poeun didn't die…
I would have died.
Woojae, Nam Eun, Lee Shin Jeok…
All of the talents we raised and we will
make good use of would have died.
It is my fault.
"Since my thinking is right,
Poeun will easily agree with me."
That was my first mistake!
Although I knew it was much harder to
get rid of close friends than enemies
I wanted to look away. That's the second!
At least from Poeun…
At least from Poeun…
I wanted to be acknowledged,
which was my greed.
That was my third mistake.
I am fully aware of the responsibility.
However…
as long as we are alive,
as long as we don't die…
we… have to take responsibility.
What happened?
Teacher!
There was no other way.
I don't blame you.
I was prepared before I did it.
What were you prepared for?
There is no room for you
in this great cause anymore.
You must have been prepared for that,
at least.
From the beginning!
From the beginning, there was no room
for me in this great cause, was there?

General Yi Seong Gye and Sambong…
No matter what you do…
the only things you can gain are…
Goryeo and this pathetic body.
Kill me and kill me again.
Try to kill me a hundred times!
Until all of my bones rot and my body
returns to the Earth and becomes dust
you shall not have a piece of my
fiercely devoted single-minded heart.
That heart… is admirable.
Yes, I understand what you mean, Teacher.
Ah, there is one thing you shall have.
A thousand years of notoriety!
You will be entwined
with the name Jung Mong Joo
for a thousand years to come
from tomorrow morning.
You will be recorded and talked about.
I hope you endure it well.
Yes, I will!
If my name cannot be tied with yours
in this present life
let it go down with yours in history!
Young Kyu!
Sambong, it turned out the way you said.
I hoped to devote my life for
a thousand year plan of Goryeo.
This land will see its end,
and I will live a thousand years.
How absurd is this?
Cheok Sa Gwang…
was she defeated?
Fate really is capricious.
What on earth happened here?
He looks like a man of high rank.
Isn't this Teacher Poeun? Look!
You're right!
My goodness, what happened here?
Lord Jung Mong Joo! My goodness!
Come outside.
What's going on?
Isn't the execution at six o'clock?
Young Kyu.
Are you all right?
Are you all right?
Yes, Young Master.
I've done a lot worse things before.
But… why am I shaking so much?
You've done a big thing.
A really big thing.
What happens now?
A lot will change.
Starting from tomorrow…
there will be many changes.
What?
Tell me again.
What do you mean?
Lord Poeun… at Seonjook Bridge…
He was murdered!
Yi Bang Won, Yi Seong Gye's fifth son,
supposedly did this.
Poeun…
Poeun!
How could this happen…
How…
However, sire…
Please gather your strength!
Poeun…
What happened… to Poeun?
Was he really murdered?
Yes. Yes, Teacher.
This can't happen.
How could Poeun…
How could Poeun pass away like that?
Teacher…
Yi Seong Gye's people must've done it!
What do we do
about these treacherous thieves!
Brother…
Don't be shocked…
Listen carefully.
On his way back
from here to the palace…
Lord Poeun was murdered.
He was murdered? By whom?
It looks like Bang Won did it.
Now, let's go!
You scared me!
What are you doing here?
What happened to my brother?
What about my Moo Hyul?
What happened to him?
What?
Ddang Sae and Moo Hyul are not back.
- They're not back?
- No. Weren't you with them?
What happened?
We were divided into two teams.
Did Bang Ji follow Cheok Sa Gwang?
Cheok Sa Gwang? Who is Cheok Sa Gwang?
Right,
he was supposed to lead that warrior.
No way! Damn it!
- Brother!
- Bang Ji!
My goodness!
Moo Hyul… Where is Moo Hyul?
He's not back yet?
What do you mean? Weren't you with him?
Last night, Moo Hyul… fell off
a cliff with Cheok Sa Gwang.
I haven't found them yet.
Moo Hyul! What do you mean?
Did she use the descending skill
in my arms?
She's alive!
My poor Moo Hyul…
My Moo Hyul… What do I do…
What do I do…
Everyone's looking for him now,
so please don't worry.
Boon Yi called
all of her market contacts--
I told Moo Hyul so many times
not to go outside…
Moo Hyul wouldn't die so easily.
Don't waste your energy. Just wait.
- Warrior Moo Hyul!
- Where are you?
Moo Hyul!
Warrior Moo Hyul!
[Daesung Hall (Confucius Shrine)]
Was it so impossible?
Was it not forgivable at all?
As a Confucius scholar,
I only followed your teaching.
I followed the teaching that the people
are more important than the country
and came to this path, so why!
Why did Poeun and I have to come to this?
Why? Why!
If I really tried…
can we create a country
as written in this book?
We can! Let's create one.
We can create one.
How is it possible?
This… Useless!
It can't even convince Poeun!
What's the use of this plan?
Brother, what are you doing?
What? Our great cause fell apart anyway.
Can't you see?
Brother!
My dear, Father is looking for you.
I may be killed by Father today.
He cannot kill you.
So please don't avoid it.
Go with confidence.
I will. I will be back.
My dear.
Probably no one has told you this yet.
You've done well.
Father, this is Bang Won.
Father…
I am sorry.
Pay for your crime with your own life.
Die.
Bang Won!
I made it clear to you
that you should not touch Poeun.
You went against that order
but you would follow the order
to kill yourself. What's the reason?
Even if you had to die…
you want to say that you are right!
"Father is wrong! I am right!"
"That's why I did everything
based on my judgment!"
Even if it is against your father!
Even when you stamped my seal on
the Border Stabilization Plan in secret!
Even when you beat Poeun
to death on your own!
That temper of yours
to do whatever you want!
I don't like your temper either!
Even when your path is clearly laid out
for you, your eyes wander elsewhere.
What is so complicated about it?
Is it so easy for you
to turn all of the Sadaebu
who follow Poeun into your enemy?
Then what was the right course of action?
Teacher Sambong, Woojae…
Even Teacher Nam Eun.
Should we have let them be executed?
You turned our great cause
into a massacre!
The remaining pity and empathy that
people had for us is about to disappear!
Do we really need those
for the path to ruling?
- To be a king means--
- I will not!
I will not be a king.
Yes, quit if you want to!
If you're afraid to take responsibility
if you are afraid of being criticized
if you hate so much to dirty your hands
then you should quit.
How dare you, Bang Won!
Bang Woo, don't do this!
How can you kill Teacher Poeun!
Yes, you must've been ready
for your own death!
Bang Woo!
Bang Gwa! Arrest this criminal right now.
Bang Woo, please calm down!
If you can't do it, I will!
Bang Woo!
Bang Won, run away! Hurry up and run!
Let go of me! Let go!
Even a little child
knows that Teacher Poeun was loyal!
If His Majesty doesn't punish the one
who killed the loyal retainer
who in this country
would offer his loyalty?
You're right. We should punish
the killer Yi Bang Won by death!
You're right! We should unite and put up
this poster everywhere in Gaegyeong.
We should also send a plea
to His Majesty!
- Of course!
- We should ask for punishment!
Isn't this a letter of resignation?
What on earth--
Until the punishment for the one who
murdered Teacher Poeun is executed…
we will not be back.
This cannot happen!
I do know about your sadness and fury.
But if we make a rash move…
I am afraid that the harm will reach you.
We are ready to die!
This Bang Won, really…
Teacher, please support us!
We are ready to die!
We are ready to die!
We are ready to die!
Execute Bang Won?
What should we do about this?
What does it mean?
Warrior!
What happened?
Oh my, what do we do about your face?
My goodness…
This handsome face…
Of course! Nothing could've gone wrong
with my Moo Hyul!
You said that I have
the best luck in Goryeo.
Of course you have the best luck!
That's why I wasn't worried at all
last night! I slept really well.
You couldn't sleep even for a second,
you were scratching the wall!
When did I do that?
By the way, is it true that
Teacher Poeun passed away?
While we were on this, Young Kyu…
I see.
What happened to you?
When I woke up,
Cheok Sa Gwang wasn't around.
That's a relief.
Hey, were you worried?
You intended to jump off.
You could have died.
That's right. You should run first
if you meet a strong match.
It's not that you were determined to die!
I don't know why Cheok Sa Gwang
tried to protect Teacher Poeun.
But if she is alive…
wouldn't she want to take revenge?
Anyway, what's with the poster
hanging up in the market?
A lot of scholars respect Teacher Poeun.
Everything will pass!
And to be honest, Teacher Poeun
started everything.
Would they see it that way?
People just take the side
of the deceased.
The opinion that Young Master Bang Won
should be executed
seems to be spreading from Sungkyunkwan.
Sir, regardless of the situation--
I killed Poeun after all.
He died because of me.
Are you still lamenting that
the great cause has been destroyed?
I wanted to remain a Confucius scholar,
so I acted like a baby to Poeun.
I shouldn't have done it…
and I shouldn't have done it
to Poeun either.
Then…
So what should you have done?
I mean, what do you plan to do?
Now, there are two paths for me.
Either I live mercilessly
or I die mercilessly.
Sir!
The legitimacy we lost in the beginning
of our great cause …
can now only be recovered with the country
that we will create.
Let's go.
I have to go see the General.
I made it clear that
you should not touch Poeun!
Bang Gwa! Arrest this criminal right now!
Yi Bang Won!
Let's go.
This is where the meaning of
"ungrateful" comes from.
No shame at all, Yi Bang Won!
He's the one who killed Teacher Poeun!
One more thing.
Are you hesitant because you're afraid of
being abandoned and becoming lonely?
How could he kill his own teacher?
Look.
Look here.
I told you to act cautiously
until I came.
Why did you cause this trouble?
Would you have had a different solution?
I do.
Assassination.
You should've assassinated him.
Of course you would have been doubted.
But you could play innocent.
What could they do?
All the power is in the hands
of the Lee Family from Jeonju.
People would whisper,
but then it would pass.
My action was justified!
Why would I have to assassinate him?
I stopped someone who was
about to harm my father.
And I punished the one who stopped
history from taking a step forward
under my name, Yi Bang Won!
He really is impatient…
He doesn't know how it will
come back to haunt him.
Are you all right?
What could I do if I'm not all right?
The General's anger will be gone soon.
Even if it doesn't, I can't help it.
I need to go to Teacher Sambong.
- He entered Mokcheong House just now.
- He did? Let's go.
Has your body been healed?
Sambong…
How…
How… could it have come to this?
Without going outside, I think I know
how the people feel.
How the world thinks of me, and us.
I think I know.
What can we do now?
- General.
- Go ahead and speak.
Brother Poeun…
Behead Poeun…
and his head
should be hung up in the market.
What did you say?
Behead Poeun and have the head
hang up in the market.
You have to announce
that he is a traitor!
Look, Sambong!
Are you out of your mind?
Was this… the great cause you wanted?
Killing General Choi Young,
driving out Lord Lee Saek…
Beating the man who came for a visit
with an iron mace!
As if it's not enough, you want to behead
him and accuse him of being a traitor?
I've killed many enemies
on the battlefield
but I didn't kill them this way!
I slashed the throat of an enemy who
abandoned soldiers only to save himself!
But the general who fought
to the end with his soldiers--
Yes, you made sure to hold
a grand funeral for him.
Then?
For this Yi Seong Gye…
to accuse Jung Mong Joo
of being a traitor?
Then should we erect a monument
for Poeun's loyalty
and honor him with a shrine?
General, we have to take responsibility.
Regardless of the situation,
we have to take responsibility!
That's politics.
That's the least a politician must do.
The nature of politics
has never changed even once.
Politics means responsibility.
Poeun was against our wishes…
and he fulfilled his political duty
with his death.
In our own way, in this path we entered
even at the cost of Poeun's death
we must complete our plan to success!
Otherwise, all of us have to die.
Is Teacher Sambong still the only one
who can make Father go forward?
If Poeun didn't die…
I would have died.
Woojae, Nam Eun, Lee Shin Jeok…
All of the talents we raised and we will
make good use of would have died.
It is my fault.
"Since my thinking is right,
Poeun will easily agree with me."
That was my first mistake!
Although I knew it was much harder to
get rid of close friends than enemies
I wanted to look away. That's the second!
At least from Poeun…
At least from Poeun…
I wanted to be acknowledged,
which was my greed.
That was my third mistake.
I am fully aware of the responsibility.
However…
as long as we are alive,
as long as we don't die…
we… have to take responsibility.
What happened?
Teacher!
There was no other way.
I don't blame you.
I was prepared before I did it.
What were you prepared for?
There is no room for you
in this great cause anymore.
You must have been prepared for that,
at least.
From the beginning!
From the beginning, there was no room
for me in this great cause, was there?
