1
00:00:10,845 --> 00:00:12,847
BASED ON THE KINGDOM OF THE GODS BY YLAB

2
00:01:34,637 --> 00:01:36,848
THE FIVE ARMIES' BASE CAMP
IN MUNGYEONG SAEJAE

3
00:04:37,862 --> 00:04:38,988
It is odd, sir.

4
00:04:39,780 --> 00:04:42,950
There are only a few of them.
We should go to His Royal Highness.

5
00:07:06,844 --> 00:07:07,928
What did you do...

6
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,140
to His Royal Highness?

7
00:07:11,223 --> 00:07:15,269
A criminal who committed high treason
does not deserve such a title.

8
00:07:15,352 --> 00:07:17,730
You are the one
who committed high treason,

9
00:07:18,189 --> 00:07:19,356
not His Royal Highness!

10
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,025
Let His Majesty be the judge of...

11
00:07:22,443 --> 00:07:24,820
which one of us is indeed guilty
of high treason.

12
00:07:27,072 --> 00:07:29,825
His Majesty kindly came
all the way here...

13
00:07:31,368 --> 00:07:34,663
to punish the traitor himself.

14
00:07:47,426 --> 00:07:48,427
Step aside.

15
00:07:48,969 --> 00:07:52,181
I will not forgive anyone
who stands in my way.

16
00:07:54,475 --> 00:07:55,726
Three years ago,

17
00:07:56,101 --> 00:08:00,189
you saved countless lives in Gyeongsang.

18
00:08:00,272 --> 00:08:03,400
You are a man of
such remarkable wisdom and bravery,

19
00:08:04,568 --> 00:08:06,862
so why did you decide
to side with the traitor?

20
00:08:07,446 --> 00:08:11,200
I understand that you cannot desert him
for he was once your pupil.

21
00:08:13,452 --> 00:08:15,871
But if you admit your wrongdoing now,

22
00:08:17,206 --> 00:08:19,917
I will spare your life.

23
00:08:36,642 --> 00:08:38,561
Father...

24
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:16,557
Everyone that I love

25
00:09:16,974 --> 00:09:19,143
either died or was ousted.

26
00:09:20,102 --> 00:09:22,354
You are my one and only son...

27
00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:24,898
and the most important person in my life.

28
00:09:26,859 --> 00:09:29,194
So you must survive, no matter what.

29
00:09:30,529 --> 00:09:33,324
Survive and prove
that you are different from them,

30
00:09:33,907 --> 00:09:35,451
as well as from me.

31
00:09:36,201 --> 00:09:38,203
Show them what a true king...

32
00:09:38,954 --> 00:09:40,706
ought to be.

33
00:09:44,668 --> 00:09:45,919
Father.

34
00:09:48,130 --> 00:09:49,757
It's me, Chang.

35
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:02,936
Thanks to you,

36
00:10:04,188 --> 00:10:07,232
I have been living in hell
for the past three years.

37
00:10:07,733 --> 00:10:11,779
I will not let you deceive me
like you did back then.

38
00:10:14,448 --> 00:10:15,991
His Majesty...

39
00:10:17,701 --> 00:10:19,161
already passed away.

40
00:10:20,496 --> 00:10:24,583
But blinded by his greed for power,

41
00:10:24,667 --> 00:10:26,877
Cho Hak-ju resurrected His Majesty...

42
00:10:29,171 --> 00:10:32,383
and turned him into a monster
with an insatiable hunger for human flesh.

43
00:10:33,384 --> 00:10:35,594
Since His Majesty passed away,

44
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,971
the throne...

45
00:10:39,515 --> 00:10:40,891
should be passed down...

46
00:10:41,892 --> 00:10:43,727
to His Royal Highness
according to the law.

47
00:10:54,530 --> 00:10:55,864
What are you waiting for?

48
00:10:56,532 --> 00:10:57,366
Shoot him.

49
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:12,464
Shoot him, or I will slay you as well.

50
00:11:38,157 --> 00:11:39,324
Shoot him down!

51
00:13:11,625 --> 00:13:13,001
I...

52
00:13:15,671 --> 00:13:17,089
beheaded...

53
00:13:19,716 --> 00:13:22,010
I beheaded my father.

54
00:13:24,179 --> 00:13:25,180
Your Royal Highness.

55
00:13:28,225 --> 00:13:30,227
It is not your fault.

56
00:13:32,980 --> 00:13:34,064
Your Royal Highness.

57
00:13:36,608 --> 00:13:37,693
You are now...

58
00:13:40,195 --> 00:13:43,866
the king of this kingdom.

59
00:14:21,695 --> 00:14:24,114
Your Majesty!

60
00:15:02,653 --> 00:15:03,862
The Five Armies...

61
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:08,450
shall arrest the traitor
that dared to assassinate His Majesty...

62
00:15:09,743 --> 00:15:13,288
as well as all of his men!

63
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:32,975
HANYANG

64
00:15:34,685 --> 00:15:39,064
ROYAL COMMANDERY DIVISION

65
00:15:43,318 --> 00:15:44,528
Do you really plan to inspect

66
00:15:44,778 --> 00:15:47,364
the private residence
of the Queen's family?

67
00:15:47,447 --> 00:15:51,410
We found trails of blood from the creek
where that dead woman was found

68
00:15:51,493 --> 00:15:53,662
all the way to Naeseonjae.

69
00:15:54,246 --> 00:15:56,331
I am certain
that she escaped from Naeseonjae.

70
00:15:56,415 --> 00:15:57,249
Also,

71
00:15:58,041 --> 00:16:00,585
she said more people
are held captive in that place.

72
00:16:01,169 --> 00:16:02,421
We must investigate Naeseonjae.

73
00:16:02,504 --> 00:16:03,672
This...

74
00:16:04,423 --> 00:16:06,967
is obviously connected
to the Haewon Cho Clan.

75
00:16:07,843 --> 00:16:09,761
Can you handle them, knowing their power?

76
00:16:11,388 --> 00:16:12,431
Right.

77
00:16:14,182 --> 00:16:16,727
Like you said, the Haewon Cho Clan...

78
00:16:18,395 --> 00:16:20,439
is the most powerful family
in this country.

79
00:16:20,522 --> 00:16:21,398
However,

80
00:16:22,441 --> 00:16:24,276
we must get to the bottom of this

81
00:16:24,359 --> 00:16:26,528
and uncover the truth
if such a heinous event...

82
00:16:27,946 --> 00:16:29,781
actually took place there.

83
00:16:34,411 --> 00:16:38,165
The Royal Commandery Division
will investigate Naeseonjae.

84
00:16:41,835 --> 00:16:44,296
NAESEONJAE

85
00:16:52,721 --> 00:16:54,139
We must hurry.

86
00:17:10,614 --> 00:17:14,076
Hey, what are you doing?

87
00:17:14,159 --> 00:17:16,036
Jeez, seriously.

88
00:17:16,536 --> 00:17:18,872
You drunkard, you threw up everything.

89
00:17:18,955 --> 00:17:19,873
Damn it.

90
00:17:19,956 --> 00:17:21,792
-I am dying.
-You puked all over me.

91
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:23,460
Goodness.

92
00:17:24,002 --> 00:17:25,003
Seriously.

93
00:17:29,674 --> 00:17:32,803
What brings you here at this late hour?

94
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:36,473
We received a report
that there has been a murder here.

95
00:17:36,765 --> 00:17:39,267
We will search the house.
You must all cooperate.

96
00:17:40,602 --> 00:17:42,479
-Spread out and search the place.
-Yes, sir!

97
00:17:42,562 --> 00:17:45,774
This is a private residence
of Her Majesty's family.

98
00:17:45,857 --> 00:17:48,276
Everyone here is always careful
with their conduct

99
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:49,945
not to harm Her Majesty's reputation.

100
00:17:50,362 --> 00:17:53,073
Such a horrible incident
could not have taken place here.

101
00:17:53,365 --> 00:17:54,783
Search thoroughly!

102
00:18:16,346 --> 00:18:17,639
Who lives there?

103
00:18:18,181 --> 00:18:21,935
It is a place for guests,
but it has been empty for a long time.

104
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,729
Sir, there is something you need to see.

105
00:19:14,070 --> 00:19:15,113
Over here, sir.

106
00:19:17,407 --> 00:19:19,576
The soil is frozen
as we are in the middle of winter,

107
00:19:19,659 --> 00:19:21,369
but this spot alone is soft.

108
00:19:22,370 --> 00:19:24,706
It looks like something
had been buried here.

109
00:19:45,894 --> 00:19:47,312
This way. Let's go this way.

110
00:19:59,032 --> 00:20:01,868
Catch those men carrying the palanquin!

111
00:20:01,952 --> 00:20:03,245
Catch them all!

112
00:20:03,328 --> 00:20:05,580
-Get them!
-Do not let anyone get away.

113
00:20:17,592 --> 00:20:19,010
Block the way!

114
00:20:19,761 --> 00:20:22,514
-Stop!
-Stop right there!

115
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:37,320
They were all...

116
00:20:38,071 --> 00:20:39,990
found at Naeseonjae?

117
00:20:40,448 --> 00:20:41,366
Yes, sir.

118
00:20:41,908 --> 00:20:45,328
We found corpses
of seven pregnant women and infants.

119
00:20:46,246 --> 00:20:49,708
The women were stabbed,
but something is odd about the children.

120
00:20:50,375 --> 00:20:52,919
All the girls were strangled to death,

121
00:20:53,003 --> 00:20:55,672
but it doesn't seem like
anything was done to the boy.

122
00:20:57,257 --> 00:20:59,801
He must have been stillborn.

123
00:20:59,968 --> 00:21:00,844
But how...

124
00:21:01,845 --> 00:21:03,596
How could something like this happen?

125
00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:08,226
Isn't it strange though?

126
00:21:09,311 --> 00:21:11,646
Why is it that they killed
all the female newborns...

127
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,774
but none of the boys?

128
00:21:15,608 --> 00:21:18,820
What are you trying to say?

129
00:21:20,947 --> 00:21:24,576
I do not know who did this,
but the culprit...

130
00:21:25,994 --> 00:21:28,288
must have been after a baby boy.

131
00:21:40,467 --> 00:21:41,843
It's the horn.

132
00:21:44,554 --> 00:21:47,599
It means His Majesty passed away.

133
00:21:57,859 --> 00:21:59,986
What on earth happened?

134
00:22:03,406 --> 00:22:07,494
The Chief State Councillor,
who is in Joryeong, sent this letter.

135
00:22:11,081 --> 00:22:14,000
In order to bring the plague
in Gyeongsang under control,

136
00:22:14,084 --> 00:22:16,211
as well as to punish Chang
for committing high treason,

137
00:22:16,336 --> 00:22:18,254
His Majesty came all the way to Joryeong,

138
00:22:18,755 --> 00:22:21,549
despite battling an illness
that was affecting His Majesty.

139
00:22:21,966 --> 00:22:25,261
We managed to bring the plague
under control in Mungyeong Saejae,

140
00:22:25,345 --> 00:22:27,722
but Chang and his nefarious aides
took advantage of the chaos

141
00:22:27,806 --> 00:22:29,933
and raided us to seize the throne.

142
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,062
And Chang decapitated His Majesty
with his own two hands.

143
00:22:34,604 --> 00:22:41,403
Your Majesty!

144
00:22:41,486 --> 00:22:47,700
Please return to us, Your Majesty!

145
00:23:40,795 --> 00:23:42,714
What should we do
with Lord Ahn Hyeon's corpse?

146
00:23:48,011 --> 00:23:51,848
He was a hero who saved our country,
even though he sided with the traitor.

147
00:23:53,641 --> 00:23:56,019
Dress him in shrouds
and give him a proper burial.

148
00:23:56,394 --> 00:23:57,270
Yes, sir.

149
00:23:59,772 --> 00:24:01,274
The Ministers of Taxation and Rites...

150
00:24:01,357 --> 00:24:02,400
HANYANG CONFERENCE HALL

151
00:24:02,484 --> 00:24:04,068
...will oversee the state funeral.

152
00:24:04,152 --> 00:24:06,738
The chief magistrate of
the Capital District Office

153
00:24:06,821 --> 00:24:08,823
should double-check the route
to the burial site...

154
00:24:09,449 --> 00:24:11,910
and build or repair bridges if necessary.

155
00:24:12,911 --> 00:24:15,622
However, there is a more pressing issue.

156
00:24:16,915 --> 00:24:18,583
The throne is vacant at the moment.

157
00:24:18,791 --> 00:24:20,960
We must quickly decide
who will ascend the throne.

158
00:24:21,044 --> 00:24:24,380
The Queen is acting as regent
at the moment.

159
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:27,967
Besides, the Queen
is expecting her baby soon.

160
00:24:29,177 --> 00:24:31,137
If a prince is born,

161
00:24:31,429 --> 00:24:33,598
he will naturally ascend the throne.

162
00:24:33,681 --> 00:24:35,433
But what if it is not a boy?

163
00:24:36,726 --> 00:24:40,188
We must find someone from
the collateral bloodlines to be prepared.

164
00:24:41,147 --> 00:24:44,859
There are children of Prince Noseong,
who was exiled and executed in Ganghwa.

165
00:24:44,943 --> 00:24:49,030
His children are His Majesty's
distant collateral relatives.

166
00:24:49,447 --> 00:24:51,199
Are you suggesting
we enthrone a puppet king?

167
00:24:51,282 --> 00:24:53,243
The Second State Councillor is right.

168
00:24:53,326 --> 00:24:55,954
We must follow the rule of primogeniture.

169
00:24:56,037 --> 00:24:59,457
We should wait
until the Queen gives birth.

170
00:24:59,541 --> 00:25:01,084
This is the head eunuch.

171
00:25:03,628 --> 00:25:06,506
We just heard
from the Office of Royal Delivery.

172
00:25:07,674 --> 00:25:11,678
Her Majesty has just started
to experience labor pain.

173
00:25:13,137 --> 00:25:15,765
The whole kingdom has been plagued
by misfortune as of late.

174
00:25:15,848 --> 00:25:18,142
I suppose we can expect
some good fortune now.

175
00:25:18,685 --> 00:25:23,189
Let us wait for the time being
and pray that a prince will be born.

176
00:25:23,273 --> 00:25:24,482
Yes.

177
00:25:24,566 --> 00:25:27,193
DELIVERY ROOM AT THE QUEEN'S PALACE

178
00:25:29,362 --> 00:25:30,488
Her Majesty...

179
00:25:31,531 --> 00:25:33,992
has been waiting for you
and the female physician.

180
00:25:37,996 --> 00:25:39,163
Let's go in.

181
00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:51,217
Your Majesty, this is the head court lady.

182
00:26:04,564 --> 00:26:07,275
The royal physician is in the next room.

183
00:26:18,703 --> 00:26:20,705
What happened
to the rest of the pregnant women?

184
00:26:21,539 --> 00:26:24,292
I took care of them
as per Your Majesty's order.

185
00:26:34,177 --> 00:26:37,013
So you'd like me to push ahead
with the investigation on Naeseonjae?

186
00:26:37,096 --> 00:26:38,389
That's right.

187
00:26:38,931 --> 00:26:41,601
But be as discreet as possible
so that no one finds out.

188
00:26:41,684 --> 00:26:42,935
Understood, sir.

189
00:26:43,436 --> 00:26:44,479
We do not have much time.

190
00:26:44,562 --> 00:26:46,939
We must find out the truth at all costs...

191
00:26:47,607 --> 00:26:49,984
before the Queen gives birth.

192
00:26:53,029 --> 00:26:55,531
THE BASE CAMP IN MUNGYEONG SAEJAE

193
00:26:57,492 --> 00:26:58,326
What brings you here?

194
00:26:58,409 --> 00:27:00,995
The magistrate ordered me to stop by

195
00:27:01,079 --> 00:27:03,206
and check on His Royal Highness.

196
00:27:03,289 --> 00:27:04,999
The magistrate said that?

197
00:27:06,125 --> 00:27:06,959
Yes, sir.

198
00:27:08,836 --> 00:27:10,630
CHO BEOM-PAL

199
00:27:42,203 --> 00:27:43,329
Your Royal Highness.

200
00:27:44,539 --> 00:27:46,124
Are you all right?

201
00:27:49,877 --> 00:27:52,338
Going all the way to Hanyang
will not be easy.

202
00:27:53,423 --> 00:27:56,676
First, I will treat your wound
to make sure it will not be infected.

203
00:28:37,842 --> 00:28:39,844
They knew we were coming.

204
00:28:40,553 --> 00:28:43,598
Someone set a trap for us.

205
00:28:44,849 --> 00:28:45,850
That means...

206
00:28:47,268 --> 00:28:48,811
there is a spy among us.

207
00:28:51,439 --> 00:28:53,274
This isn't the time to doubt each other.

208
00:28:56,235 --> 00:28:57,195
What do you mean?

209
00:28:57,278 --> 00:28:59,071
I do not want to die here.

210
00:28:59,155 --> 00:28:59,989
No.

211
00:29:01,866 --> 00:29:05,077
Even if I must die, I will be sure
to get my family's revenge first.

212
00:29:06,829 --> 00:29:09,165
Don't you all want to avenge
Lord Ahn Hyeon's death?

213
00:29:09,791 --> 00:29:11,751
I would do anything if we can avenge...

214
00:29:12,335 --> 00:29:13,836
Lord Ahn's death.

215
00:29:14,962 --> 00:29:16,506
Is there a way?

216
00:29:18,216 --> 00:29:19,759
If we're willing to risk our lives,

217
00:29:22,678 --> 00:29:25,014
we should at least be able
to take Cho Hak-ju with us.

218
00:29:28,601 --> 00:29:30,019
Our only chance is...

219
00:29:31,062 --> 00:29:32,563
just before we leave for Hanyang.

220
00:30:14,564 --> 00:30:15,773
What's the matter?

221
00:30:15,898 --> 00:30:17,692
Is something wrong?

222
00:30:20,695 --> 00:30:22,655
We are ready to leave, sir.

223
00:30:25,241 --> 00:30:27,326
Bring all the prisoners.

224
00:30:48,347 --> 00:30:49,682
Get up!

225
00:31:45,404 --> 00:31:47,114
They are begging to be killed.

226
00:31:47,198 --> 00:31:48,991
Only spare the Crown Prince's life.

227
00:31:49,784 --> 00:31:51,535
Kill all the rest.

228
00:31:56,290 --> 00:31:57,375
Stand guard!

229
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:38,374
Arrest that bastard at once!

230
00:33:11,115 --> 00:33:12,033
It's a monster!

231
00:33:16,996 --> 00:33:18,497
It's a monster!

232
00:34:13,469 --> 00:34:14,678
Shoot him in the head.

233
00:34:15,805 --> 00:34:17,181
Aim for the head.

234
00:34:34,907 --> 00:34:37,076
Your Royal Highness,
there is only one way...

235
00:34:38,702 --> 00:34:41,247
you can survive.

236
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:42,832
When I die,

237
00:34:44,959 --> 00:34:46,293
bring me back to life...

238
00:34:47,837 --> 00:34:50,381
and turn me into a monster.

239
00:34:52,508 --> 00:34:54,093
You must do it...

240
00:34:55,427 --> 00:34:58,305
to reveal the truth.

241
00:39:01,173 --> 00:39:03,175
