Scarlet Heart: Ryeo (달의 연인 - 보보경심 려)

[This show is a work of fiction based on historical events]

She is my wife's sister.

She has nothing to do with this. Let her go.

I lost the assassin because of her.

Do you really want to shed unwanted blood?

I was just lost. That's it.

- Trust me. - Why should I?

I don't know you.

So.

With the imperial army searching, we will get the others.

Then we will know if she is to blame or not.

Until then, for my sake, please let her go.

Are you okay?

There...

Over there, people were...

killed.

Killed?

Wearing the same mask and outfit.

It was a bad idea to let the 4th Prince take my place.

He wanted to use this as the chance to stay in Songak.

You shouldn't be doubting yourself.

Don't say that.

Using my brother's desperation alone is a crime.

He was even hurt.

- Search the premises. - Yes, sir.

What did you see?

Did the dead just disappear?

It was here.

I'm sure. They were stabbed from behind.

It was right around here.

- Where did they all go? - Killed?

Who did it?

- Tell me who did it! - How should I know?

Yes, there was bloodshed.

Seems like the conspirator killed off all of his henchmen.

It wasn't the imperial army? Any reports?

They took the bodies.

They were thorough.

So the one you killed was our last hope.

We don't have any traces. What are we going to do?

Even so...

I couldn't risk Su being hurt.

We can continue when the sun is up.

First, let's get you patched up.

It's over now. Let's go home.

He kept saying he'd kill me. If I looked, he'd kill me.

I just wanted to give him what he left behind.

Su.

It'll all be okay.

What if he really kills me?

Even just now, he told the assassin to kill me.

He doesn't care about anyone.

What did I do to deserve this?

Su, it's okay.

Stop crying now. It's okay, Su. It's okay.

Stop crying.

Stop crying, and let's go home.

It's okay.

Where is Jeong Yun?

I'm here, your highness.

So.

He messed it all up.

Tonight should have been the night you became Jeong Yun.

I took care of all loose ends.

Not one assassin is left breathing.

The emperor will not be able to engage in successor talks for a while.

A small victory.

I can't believe So took Jeong Yun's place.

Choe Ji Mong is also suspicious.

I'm sure there's a connection between the two.

Like Jeong said...

So has mastered martial arts.

The Gang for sure wouldn't have taught him.

We need to know who So met and who he's indebted to.

If Choe Ji Mong is involved... maybe the Emperor is, too.

Our spy in Shinju told us that So has met with no one.

Look deeper.

We need to know what he's up to, to figure out whose side he's on.

Do not forget.

Goryeo must fall into the hands of my son.

It's not for you to do.

Can't let the servants do it either.

How long will you remain in Shinju?

Like your brothers, it'd be better for you to learn from the best here in Songak.

I'm different from Uk.

I feel more comfortable hunting wild beasts.

You've only learned to hide your emotions.

That's good for now.

Stay and heal here. I'll let the servants know.

Yeon Hwa.

I sometimes wondered what kind of woman you'd grow up to be.

You could've been really hurt. What...

What were you thinking?

It was just...

I was lost.

They were after Jeong Yun's life.

- You should be glad she's safe. - That's right!

Today I learned again how lucky I am.

It's a miracle I only got a scratch from all that.

Stop it.

- Go and rest now. - Okay.

We're not done yet...

Thank you for saving Su.

I'm sorry that we're always a burden.

Burden?

I've never thought of her like that.

I rather enjoy it.

Enjoy it?

Our family is the burdened one.

Everyone comes to me to complain about life's hardships.

They also want a lot.

But... Su is different.

She always tries to do things by herself.

I enjoy watching her.

I feel relieved.

I see myself waiting to see her again.

I'm happy and thankful that you cherish Su.

Stop.

Why?

What now?

I told you everything.

I was too busy running away. That was it.

It's the truth.

The men with swords stabbed the masked men from behind.

It happened so fast...

Like it was all pre-planned that they stabbed the...

Think harder. Every little detail. Think!

That's enough.

Fur clothes.

Everyone else wore black...

But one wore fur clothing.

He gave the orders to kill.

Did you see his face? What did he look like?

I couldn't see his face, but I'm sure he was the leader.

He acted like it.

Who else knows about this?

You're the only one questioning me.

Erase everything you saw.

There was no man in fur.

Su, he's right.

It's safer if no one knows what you saw.

Can I go now?

You!

Keep out of my sight.

What did I do wrong?

You told him to kill me.

You even said you'd kill me yourself.

Should I have given up?

I tried my best to live, to not die in vain!

Su.

Is it a sin to want to live?

Isn't everyone the same?

Why are you doing this to me?

You bastard!

It'd be better to have the lights on tonight.

Bad experiences lead to bad nightmares.

What about you? Will you be okay?

- Me? - Yes, you.

To save me, you...

You killed a man.

You're the one who might have nightmares.

You know, post-traumatic stress kind of thing.

If I had nightmares every time this happened...

it'd be too hard for me.

So today was not the first?

You've killed another...

I was 11.

The first time I killed a man... was when I was 11.

A pack of robbers attacked my mother and Yeon Hwa.

Just like earlier...

With a dagger.

But I had no nightmares.

I protected my family with my own hands.

I was happy.

I was proud.

I'm a prince. I have to live through these things.

But it still sticks with you.

You still remember. How could you be at ease?

Probably just bearing it out.

It's my burden to bear.

I won't cling on to you. So don't worry about me.

What?

I won't be a burden. You can live that much lighter.

So don't worry about me.

I can take care of myself.

I guess where memory left, bravado crept in.

By the way...

what did you mean by st... stress?

An attack on Jeong Yun in front of me, inside the palace.

It's most certainly treason, also with strong backing.

Ji Mong, did we capture the assassins?

The princes pursued,

But we couldn't capture any alive.

We are doing autopsies, so we'll know if there are any leads.

The assassins are Songak residents.

I'll question who allowed them in.

Go ahead.

How is the wound?

It wasn't too bad. I had it treated at the 8th Prince's house.

Why did you take Jeong Yun's place?
