Blades of Blood AKA Like the Moon Escaping from the Clouds (구르믈 버서난 달처럼)

Disband the alliance.

Who will stop the Japanese?

The king knows it's an excuse to gather soldiers.

He's the one taking sides and playing power games.

Watch your tongue!

Can this rotten government stop the Japanese?

You've lost your senses!

We warned you, Jung Yeo-rip.

Disband the alliance.

Let's go.

The West Cabinet

will do anything to win the king's favor.

They can frame you for treason.

And who will have to suffer?

Our East Cabinet.

I am no part of the East or West.

Don't drag us into your rotten power games.

Naive man.

Let's go.

Yeo-rip!

You did good.

That'll teach them.

Let's just stop the Japanese!

Stopping the Japanese won't free us from their schemes.

Sir.

Let us strike them first.

What's that?

Is this talk of a revolt I hear?

We can't accomplish anything if we're killed!

Hey!

Watch that tongue, Mong-hak.

- What? - Stop!

Yeo-rip,

keep a close eye on this one.

Peace lies at the end of a long and harsh path.

A film by Lee Joon-ik

I told you to watch your tongue.

Tear up his body

and hang it across the land as an example to others.

Yes, Your Highness.

They can't even save their own heads.

The Grand Alliance is a joke!

It's always all talk and no real result.

Did Jung really kill himself?

It was Han Shin-kyun! It's all his scheme.

Han Shin-kyun, that bastard.

They're kicking out the East Cabinet

to keep the palace under their control.

Watch it, you idiots.

Isn't that Han's bastard son?

The bastard son defending his bastard of a father.

Bastard?

You heard me, bastard.

You crazy bastard!

Stop right now!

Someone stop him!

I'll get you!

Go and stop him!

Get him off!

Stop! Let him go!

Your family sure is powerful.

How many times is it? Just go home.

I hit Confucian scholars.

I deserve punishment.

I'm not leaving.

The memorial service is today.

Let's go.

Make way for Lord SONG.

Step aside!

How dare you raise your sword!

Lee Mong-hak, you imbecile!

Jung Yeo-rip was a traitor!

In my eyes,

You're the traitors bringing the country to ruin.

Imbecile!

Let go.

Behave yourself!

I'll go away after pouring a glass.

Put it down!

I'm Han Kyun-ju!

1 8th generation of the Han household!

- Drag him away! - Get him!

Let go of me!

Father!

Father!

Deny me, then!

All the Hans are here!

Deny me now!

Then I won't come!

Father!

Tell them I'm not your son!

Father!

Who are you?

Where are you going?

You can't go this way!

Go get him!

Bring me Jung's head!

- Who are you? - Sheesh!

It's been ages since I had a drink.

You can have one drink over there.

Where?

You parasite!

You've disgraced to the entire household!

Just kill me, then!

Stop it.

A concubine's bastard child

dares to honor our ancestors?

Is that what Confucius preaches?

Is it written anywhere?

Who the hell says I can't!

What makes you so damn superior?

Leave me alone.

Leave me alone!

Is pouring a glass that important?

It's because,

I'm a concubine's son.

Kyun-ju!

Do you know what people call me?

Han Kyun-ju.

No one knows that name.

I'm just the bastard.

A mutt!

If you listen to them, you are a mutt.

Coward.

Our king is a concubine's son.

Without dreams, you're only a mutt.

What brings you here, Hwang?

Jang-gak?

I thought you'd be here.

You will pay for the death of Jung Yeo-rip.

The Grand Alliance will have justice!

Is the East Cabinet behind this?

I am neither East nor West.

Father!

Father!

Mong-hak!

Good riddance.

Since when was the alliance yours?

The alliance will now take the greater path.

Greater path, my ass!

Who killed Jung Yeo-rip?

You already know.

Where were you when he hung himself?

Huh?

Did he really kill himself?

Don't show yourself again.

Or I will have to kill you.

Lee Mong-hak! Hey! Stop right there!

Lee Mong-hak! Where'd he go?

Stop!

Your Highness,

the Chinese empire must know

Japan will pass through Chosun to strike China.

No, Your Highness.

The emperor will question us if war does not happen.

Let him question us!

The nation is in danger!

The Japanese have intruded many times before.

And if the war does happen?

There will be a war?

No, Your Highness.

Yes, Your Highness!

Lord Yoo, the Japanese aren't coming?

They are.

Then why are you saying otherwise?

They claim they will, so we must deny it.

Lord Jung, let's move on to the Lee Mong-hak issue.

We've said war is upon us.

It's enough bad news for His Highness.

I forgot how hard it was to save a dying fool.

A little lime powder...

Goodness.

There. All done.

Let's see.

Goodness.

Goodness gracious. He's alive!

I thought you were long gone.

If he stabbed you one inch to the side,

you'd be off with your father by now.

Who are you?

Just a blind man.

Let's see. One last prick!

Goodness.

It went too deep.

We can't attack the district hall.

Thats the only way the people will support us!

They already do,

So even the king can't kill us.
