The Night Watchman (야경꾼 일지)

Episode 23

You killed the Queen Dowager and seized the throne.

How dare you claim the sovereign seal and take over the crown?

You're the one responsible for the queen's death.

What did you say?

The king delivered this seal to me himself.

This isn't a revolt. The king has bestowed the throne onto me.

Isn't that right, Your Highness?

How could you allow the Prime Minister to unjustly seize the throne?

What are you doing?

Arrest Prince Wolgang!

- Arrest him! - Yes!

Now... Transport!

He just disappeared.

What just happened?

My Prince.

Did you plan to drag me here from the beginning?

If you think I'd blindly risk my strength to come see you

then you still don't know anything about me.

I see.

I'll kill you here then.

Before then, there's something you need to see.

This...

It's the serpent god.

Sadam's evil power comes from here.

Sadam's promise to give you the throne is a lie he told to awake this demon.

If the serpent awakes...

this country will fall under Yongsin power.

Come out of Sadam's power, Prime Minister.

All this about Sadam and the serpent. It's all nonsense.

These are all lies because you want to become king.

Give me the seal.

It's mine!

Hand it over right now!

Wolgang. Wolgang!

Are you safe, My Prince?

- I'm fine. - The seal. Did you find it?

Here it is.

We must go before the spell ends and the Prime Minister appears.

Queen Dowager. I will return no matter what.

Until then, please wait a while longer.

Your Majesty. Will you hand over the throne to the Prime Minister?

The Prime Minister has already taken over the military. What else can I do?

Your Highness. Put out an order out immediately. Kill the Prime Minister.

Your Highness. The Queen Dowager has awaken.

- The Queen Dowager? - Yes, Your Highness.

My Queen.

Queen Dowager.

My Queen... I tried my best to protect Rin.

Everything is my fault.

I know you've tried your best to protect Rin.

Hearing you say that warms up an old woman's heart.

Queen Dowager, I am so relieved you're awake. I am so relieved.

Your Majesty.

Please give the throne to Prince Wolgang.

That's the way to protect the country and the throne.

It's also the only way to protect you.

How can you always be thinking of Wolgang?

I'm not talking about who I favor more.

I'm talking about who will be able to protect the kingship.

That's what I'm talking about.

The heavy burden you've had to carry...

hand it over to Wolgang, Your Majesty.

Queen Dowager.

This grandmother of yours...

this is her last request.

Your Majesty. Please...

Give up the crown.

Wolgang! Where are you?

Come here! Wolgang!

Wolgang!

Go away.

Go away. Go...

Prime Minister, you were here?

You...

Your face... how...

I will get you out of here.

This is...

Wolgang tricked you using black magic he learned from the Night Watchmen.

Black magic?

What happened to the seal?

Wolgang stole the seal!

What happened, Prime Minister?

Prince Wolgang stole the sovereign seal. Find him this instant!

- Go find Wolgang! - Yes!

My Prince! My Prince!

The Queen Dowager is awake! The heavens have blessed us!

- Is that true? - Yes.

I am so relieved. We don't have to worry anymore.

Rin.

How did you get here?

I was worried about you. I couldn't stay away.

No. Hurry and go back.

You don't know when the Prime Minister will be back. Hurry.

Queen Dowager.

Rin.

Don't resent the king.

You and the king are bound by flesh and blood.

Your heart is wounded.

Take care of it.

Don't you worry.

I'll heed your words.

Thank you Rin.

How did your body change into this?

It's a sign that the Yongsin serpent is close to awakening.

Soon you won't be able to handle my powers.

Give me the seal.

If you don't hand it over...

it will cost you the Queen Dowager's life.

What did you say?

Who do you think you're threatening?

Stop it right now!

If you want to save the queen, hand over the sovereign seal, My Prince.

No Rin.

Don't do it Rin.

That object... can save millions... and protect the throne.

Don't give it up, Rin.

Queen Dowager.

Keep your mouth shut.

Here it is.

Let go of the queen.

No Rin!

Queen Dowager!

Queen Dowager!

Queen Dowager.

Queen Dowager.

Queen Dowager...

I couldn't protect you.

I'm sorry.

The Prime Minister paid a visit during the night.

Yes.

It's so unfortunate that she had to die at the hands of her own flesh and blood.

Prime Minister. How could you say such things?

The person who did this to the queen--

Prince Wolgang is responsible for the queen's death. Don't you agree?

Don't you agree Your Highness?

You're right Prime Minister.

Arrest Prince Wolgang for killing the Queen Dowager this instant!

Your Highness. Did you call for me?

The Queen Dowager is dead.

It wasn't Wolgang, but the Prime Minister who did it.

The Prime Minister will try to do something.

What should we do?

If you are in danger, I will protect you.

Very good.

Only you remain loyal to the king.

But how will you overtake the Prime Minister and his army?

Queen Dowager.

How will I repay you for all that you've done?

I promise. I will do whatever it takes to protect the throne.

Please, I hope...

you rest in peace.

Rin's probably very tired.

Do Ha, you should take care of him.

Rang.

Did something happen to you? You look weak.

It's time for me to leave.

That's why I'm this way.

What do you mean you're leaving? Why?

Do Ha.

Now the Queen Dowager is dead.

My Rin really has no one else on his side.

This is a very lonely time for Rin.

Please take care of Rin.

Prince Wolgang and Sadam.

They both use magic.

In the future, both will pose a great threat.

Just give me the order.

We need to eliminate those in our way.

Father, there is a rumor that the prince is responsible for the queen's death.

What's going on?

It's Prince Wolgang's doing. I saw it with my own eyes.

That's not true. You're using him as a scapegoat.

I will find Prince Wolgang and kill him.

- What? - I will cut off his head.

I will make him an example of what happens when someone dares to defy me.

You cannot, Father I won't let that happen!

What will you do?

Sadam, the Prime Minister has ordered for your arrest.

The Prime Minister is being foolish.

- Arrest the criminal! - Yes!

Sadam, you bastard!

You used your black magic to defy the throne!

I will kill you!

Humans...

How could they be so foolish?

What did you say?

I'm the one who gave you power and put you in this position.

If you go against me, don't you know your power and your life will come to an end?

Shut his mouth!

Yes sir.

- Arrest him! - Yes sir!

What are you trying to do?

This is all because of your foolishness.

Your soul, like all the others, will go to the Yongsin god.

What's wrong with the Prime Minister?

He looks like he's lost his senses.

The Prime Minister will never live in his right mind again.

Has he gone insane?

Since he has gone against you, let us give him the utmost punishment.
