Kingmaker: The Change of Destiny (Wind, Clouds and Rain / Baramgwa Gooreumgwa Bi / 바람과 구름과 비)

Episode 15

Queen Mother, I have come to apologize

for previously acting out of line...

How could this old lady who almost lost this country

to a fraud, punish you?

My apologies, Queen Mother.

I've sent people to investigate,

but let me ask you this.

Are the Kim-Moons really behind this?

Queen Jo Queen Mother Hyoyu

Yes, Hwasa Byung-Woon Kim is the mastermind responsible.

The Kim-Moons dare to toy with me.

If it were up to me I would have Byung-Woon and Jwa-Keun Kim killed but,

our country has it's strict laws.

But certain people play certain rolls.

Am I right?

Yes.

How could a superior of the royal throne get her hands dirty?

If you command, someone like me should do your bidding.

If your son truly becomes the next king,

can you really end the 60 year reign of the Kim-Moons?

I promise you.

All of these lost years and shame,

could you really avenge my honor?

Yes.

The new king will end

the 60 year reign of the Kim-Moons.

In time, all Kim-Moons will get down on their knees

infront of you, my Queen Mother.

What brings you here?

I finally am able to introduce myself to

our nation's finest politician, Lord Haok.

Sure, I've heard you've wrote something strange

Haok Jwa-Keun Kim Prime minister

for our family.

I was about to contact you myself,

maybe have you do my readings and such...

My Lord, you don't have time to waste on readings.

What?

Right now...

I am here to kill you.

Anyone outside!

- Come in! - Calm yourself.

Make a choice, my Lord.

Kill yourself,

or kill this family.

This is your ultimatum, you must choose.

I am merely here to tell you this.

An ultimatum...

Your 40 year reign and prosperity is now over.

If you continue your political ways,

your old greed will ruin yourself and this entire family.

But, you can kill yourself from the political world.

You must accept the new Heungseon-gun.

Then your family will live.

You and I, and my family are sworn enemies...

Bul Gu Dae Cheon Enemies who can not live under the same sky.

How will I know if you are

speaking false readings in order to destroy my family?

Check upon Lord Byung-Woon Kim.

He must be planning to assassinate Heungseon-gun as we speak.

You're right.

You and I are sworn enemies.

Your family murdered my father,

how could I not want you all destroyed?

But I have chosen saving Joseon,

instead of my personal revenge.

Because that is... What my father would have done.

The old fox

Hwasa Byung-Woon Kim The minister of Finance

has taken Heungseon-gun's side.

Heungseon-gun, we must kill him no matter what.

Yes, sir.

Father, what brings you here...

Are you...

Planning to kill Heungseon-gun right now?

Your arrogance

will be the death of our entire family!

How have you become so weak!

Why are you so blind!

If the young Jae-Hwang becomes the next king,

Heungseon-gun will become the most powerful man.

When that happens, what do you think he'll do to our family?

This is our last chance.

If we miss this opportunity,

no one will be able to stop Heungseon-gun!

Shush! Then what if you get caught?

Who will take responsibility when that happens, big brother!

I know you have betrayed us, making backdoor deals with Heungseon-gun.

What?

Your short sightedness and greed

may keep you alive but,

in the end it will destroy this entire family!

What? Short sightedness? Greed?

You think you're better than me?

You're just an adoptee!

- How dare you! - How dare you!

Both of you stop!

- Father! Father! - Father!

Father...

Father…

Father...

What happened? Is there an intruder?

No...

Nothing like that...

I had a dream...

My father...

My father...

Doesn't have much time left...

It pains me.

I know that exact same pain...

More than anyone.

But, no child can prevent their parent's death.

We must live on,

always remembering what they have done for us,

and live our lives to the fullest for them.

That is the only thing we can do.

A new world will begin...

But I am terrified.

I see a gigantic and horrifying wave

crashing down on Joseon shores.

I know your visions to be true but,

Hwan Hallucination

we must do whatever we can to prevent it.

We must create a better world.

We must.

The King has passed!

Year 1863, Cheoljong's death

The King has passed!

The King has passed!

My King...

Born with royal blood...

Lived as a peasant... Rose to King...

Chodong A child tasked with gathering firewood

What a strange life...

Leave in peace, My King...

Welcome, Master.

There's... I mean...

Master, I think the King has passed away.

The King is dead.

Rumors say the palace if filled with soldiers and

many nobles wearing all white are headed there.

Master! Master!

- Master! - Master!

Father...

Princess, what is wrong?

My Father...

He has passed away...

What?

This world...

A hard life...

Thank you for everything...

Leave in peace...

Father...

My father...

Father...

The Princess Hwa-Ryun...

I leave Bong-Ryun to you...

You must give her your fullest,

and love her.

You must protect her.

This is a command from your King.

My Lord.

Lord Jae-Hwang, your father urgently requests you.

We must leave now!

My King My King...

My King My King...

My King My King...

My King My King...

Queen Mother, the King's royal seal.

Daebo Government tax

How did I forget that!

How did I miss it!

Queen Mother,

No matter what, you must take control of the King's seal.

Please do not forget!

Everyone listen,

As we morn our King,

Until we have a new King, and in place of our deceased king,

Sawang The King's successor

I will take the responsibility over the King's seal.

Yes, Queen Mother.

The Sangsun, Take the king's body to the Daejojeon.

Yeonghae A respectful word for a king's body

The royal guard must protect the King's seal at all costs.

Yes, Queen Mother!

We must discuss the country's future,

all councilmen and nobles, come to my quarters.

- Yes, Queen Mother. - Yes, Queen Mother.

The King's throne should never be kept empty,

I'm sure everyone is aware.

Our deceased King wasn't able to decide on a successor.

Finding a successor and filling the empty throne

has now become my great responsibility.

All of you may give me your opinions without worry.
