The first 200 lines.
I just got a report that a war has broken out.
Many of our people were taken as prisoners.
You must step up and save...
the nation and the people.
A war?
Do you think I do not know...
you set that trap?
You had better walk into that trap.
There is nothing you can do.
Yoon Yi Suh.
That girl...
is with me.
Who is this Yoon Yi Suh?
I do not know that name.
I thought you had retrieved all of your memories,
but I guess I was wrong.
If that is the case, there is nothing for us to talk about.
Do you have evidence?
Show me proof that you have the girl.
Do not try to fool me...
with dirty schemes anymore.
Should I chop off her hand and bring it to you?
Maybe then you will recognize her.
Vice-Premier!
His Majesty called for an urgent cabinet meeting,
so please excuse me.
Where is she?
Tell me where she is...
or I will order for your neck...
to be slit.
I already gave orders...
to kill the girl and toss her body...
at the hill if anything happens to me.
Wild animals will pick at her flesh and bone,
and you will not be able to even retrieve a body.
If you wish to save her life,
you must forever bury what you found in your journal...
as well as the secret...
that you finally learned of.
The Jurchens that were attacked by Ming headed south...
and brutally murdered many of our people.
They are also holding prisoners in exchange for a ransom.
According to Governor Min of Pyongan Province,
the head of the Jurchens stated that...
unless His Majesty delivers the ransom himself,
he will kill a hostage every two hours.
Ming is the one who attacked the Jurchens,
so why are they blackmailing us instead?
They are claiming that Ming's arrows are from Joseon.
It is their understanding that Joseon...
instigated Ming Dynasty to attack.
Then we must clear all misunderstandings.
Who will go onto the battlefield and meet with the Jurchens?
In my opinion,
the best man for this particular job would be Vice-Premier.
It is not so hard for me to go to the battlefield,
but they will not listen to me.
I am too humble...
to stand in for the authority of the royal family.
If things go wrong,
subjects will resent you.
Are you saying His Majesty has to go out in the war himself?
The situation does not look so well.
It is said...
the Jurchens have cut off our people's throats...
and hung them on a marketplace.
People are worried and frightened.
Still, His Majesty cannot leave the capital...
and head to the battlefield.
Then why do you not...
send the Crown Prince to deal with it?
He is the only one...
who can face them on behalf of Your Majesty.
That cannot be done.
What is the meaning of being a crown prince?
His original duty is to resolve a crisis...
on behalf of a king.
I will take good care of His Highness,
so please reconsider.
Please reconsider. - Please reconsider.
She left this letter and went away from the house at dawn.
It is about how she is thankful for everything.
Officer Park, Gu Dol and Kkeut Nyeo are looking everywhere for her,
but they have not found her yet.
Please...
find Hong Shim, Your Highness.
Do not worry.
I will find her no matter what.
Your Highness, you must return to the palace quickly.
The result of the urgent cabinet meeting does not seem good.
I will look for Hong Shim,
so you should return to the palace quickly.
What? - I shall go to the battleground.
I will not permit it.
A lot of people including Vice-Premier Kim have gone there,
so they will resolve the situation somehow.
Vice-Premier Kim must have instigated this war.
He will supply weapons to Ming...
which will bring him a lot of benefits.
He will not wish this war to end soon either.
He does not care about subjects' lives.
Thus, I must head there as soon as possible.
That is more of the reason why I cannot let you go.
The battlefield is dangerous...
because Vice-Premier Kim is there.
I told you to punish him,
but are you going to fall for his scheme instead?
I still cannot understand...
why he tried to kill you...
and why you are just watching him.
Please tell me what it is about.
I cannot tell you why.
You still cannot trust me...
just because I have taken this throne...
with the help of the Vice-Premier?
If I open the box of secret,
a lot of people will get hurt.
The Vice-Premier and I,
the two of us have to resolve this alone.
He must be waiting for you...
with a trap ready just like the last time.
Like he did in Mount Chunwoo,
he might try to murder you again.
Do you still want to go despite all that?
I am...
planning to do as he wants.
I shall be waiting for you in the battlefield...
with the wench whom you have in your heart.
Get my horse ready.
You cannot go to the battlefield.
Move aside.
You will end up getting killed if you go now.
I am going to die.
I do not have much time.
If I bring soldiers there,
they might be mistaken that I am joining the war,
so I must go there alone.
Wait until I send you a message.
Did I not tell you to wait for my message?
You looked at me with such mellow eyes when you said that,
so I thought you wanted me to follow you alone.
I never looked at you with mellow eyes.
What are you waiting for? Let us get it started.
I have postponed the negotiation with the Jurchens for four days...
and told our side that it would take place tomorrow.
I will have your private soldiers wait in ambush...
at the fortress at dawn.
Once the Crown Prince enters, they will get rid of him.
I also have prepared for evidence...
to frame the Jurchens for the murder.
You should head to the Ming's military camp.
Do I not have to protect you by your side?
Your important duty right now...
is to keep the promise with Ming.
The matter with the Crown Prince is my personal problem.
I have started a relationship with him,
so it is my job to end that relationship as well.
I shall see him off...
myself...
this time.
I did not expect you to come here yourself.
Please come inside.
Check this out.
The Jurchens are not mistaken.
This arrow is...
from Joseon Dynasty.
The Vice-Premier Kim must have made weapons...
and supplied them to Ming in the end.
Does it mean the Vice-Premier has instigated this war?
Where is he?
To acquire 300,000 yang which the Jurchens demanded,
he went to the Ming's military camp.
He must not have gone there to talk about the ransom.
How many of the subjects were captured?
Around 300.
This is the letter from the Jurchens which the Vice-Premier delivered.
It says we should...
go to their fortress by tomorrow noon for the negotiation.
The problem is...
It must be on the condition that I must go there alone.
That is correct.
Are you agonizing...
because of the people or a woman?
Do you prefer the snow or raining petals?
What...
It is a roundabout way of saying that was a stupid question.
Can you joke at a time like this?
The Vice-Premier's letter will be a fake.
There is no evidence that people are kept captive...
in the fortress or that the Vice-Premier has Hong Shim.
It would be foolhardy to go in there alone.
What would you do?
Would you not go if there were no evidence?
I would.
But I am not the Crown Prince.
I have a bad feeling about this. Do not go.
Your Highness, go inside.
No. This is an anonymous tip.
I will go to the fortress.
What does the note say?
