Chetamja: The King’s Eyes — S2 - Chapter 50

IF THAT'S YOUR PLAN...

...WE CAN HELP.

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS NONSENSE?

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?!

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T COME ALONG QUIETLY.

BUT WE NEED YOU TO KNOW HOW SERIOUS WE ARE...

...DAM.

I'M SURE YOU ALL REMEMBER...

WE'LL BE MEETING THE KING AT THE ROYAL BANQUET IN FIVE DAYS.

DAM WON'T MISS THAT CHANCE.

SO WE MUST FIND HIM BEFORE THE BANQUET.

THEN WHAT? DO YOU THINK HE'D CHANGE HIS MIND?

WE CAN WORRY ABOUT THAT AFTER WE FIND HIM.

BUT WE MUST NOT EXPOSE OURSELVES IN THE PROCESS.

SPLIT UP AND SEARCH AS QUICKLY AND QUIETLY AS POSSIBLE.

THE KEY IS NOT TO LET THE COMMAND CATCH WIND OF WHAT WE’RE DOING.

THIS WILL GET OUT OF HAND IF ANYONE FINDS OUT.

KEEP THAT IN MIND. IF THE HIGHER-UPS REALIZE DAM WENT MISSING--

THERE YOU ARE, MY SILLY NORTHMEN!

I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’RE ALL HERE!

WELL? ARE YOU ENJOYING YOUR TIME IN HANYANG?

G-GENERAL LEE?

S-SIR! WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE...?

AND WHY NOT? MY DISCIPLE IS FINALLY IN HANYANG...

...AFTER ALL THAT TIME IN THE NORTH...

HUH...?

WAIT A MINUTE...

YOU BOYS...

THIS DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT...

I THOUGHT...

...YOU WERE ALL OFF-DUTY UNTIL THE BANQUET.

WHAT'S WITH THOSE CLOTHES?

ARE YOU ON A RECON MISSION OR SOMETHING?

WHY ARE YOU WEARING THAT GLOOMY STUFF? HAHA!

OH... HAHA... IT'S JUST THAT...

...WE'VE NEVER BEEN IN HANYANG BEFORE...

LISTEN UP, YOU FOOLS.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE GISAENG HOUSES IN HANYANG.

THEY ARE NOTHING LIKE THE ONES YOU HAVE UP NORTH.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IN ALL OF JOSEON ARE HERE IN HANYANG, YOU HEAR?

NOW...

LET’S GO, YOU SCOUNDRELS!

I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT PARADISE LOOKS LIKE!

I’M TAKING THE REST OF YOU TOO. COME ON!

HAHA... THANK YOU, BUT I THINK I’LL STAY, SIR.

BESIDES, WE WERE GIVEN ORDERS TO BE ON STANDBY UNTIL THE BANQUET...

HEY.

I SAID, FOLLOW ME.

DON’T MAKE ME SAY THIS TWICE.

L-LET'S GO WITH HIM, YUJEONG...

I'LL SHOW YOU COUNTRY BUMPKINS WHAT LIFE IN THE CAPITAL CITY LOOKS LIKE!

UGH...

WHAT...?

WHERE AM I...?

YOU'RE UP.

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

YOU WERE IN A HORRIBLE STATE.

UMM... WHO ARE YOU...?

AND... WHERE AM I?

HERE, YOU MUST BE THIRSTY. HAVE SOME WATER.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?

LAST NIGHT...?

ARE YOU PLOTTING TREASON?

W-WAIT...

TELL ME WHERE I AM. AND WHO ARE YOU?

IS IT TRUE?

ARE YOU REALLY PLOTTING...

...TREASON?

...!

IF WHAT THEY SAY IS TRUE--

WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT?

WHAT KIND OF TRICKERY IS THIS?!

HOW DID YOU LEARN OF MY PLANS?

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE?

PLEASE CALM DOWN.

WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE.

THERE'S NO NEED TO GET DEFENSIVE.

WHO SENT YOU?

THE ROYAL INVESTIGATORS? OR THE ROYAL GUARDS?

OF COURSE NOT. PLEASE CALM DOWN--

NONSENSE!

YOU HAVE THE PALACE SOLDIERS IN YOUR RANKS, AND YOU TELL ME YOU'RE ON MY SIDE?

WE ARE JUST LIKE YOU...

W-WAIT!

PLEASE! HEAR ME OUT!

LOOK...

I WOULD CUT YOU DOWN AND GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.

BUT I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT. SO PRETEND NONE OF THIS EVER HAPPENED...

...IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE.

DARN IT. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

...?!

WH-WHAT?

HEY, YOU'RE AWAKE.

HOW WAS YOUR SLEEP? NOT TOO ROUGH, I HOPE.

WE DID GIVE YOU THE BEST ROOM HERE.

SANG! YOU'RE BACK.

YOU'RE THE SOLDIER... FROM THE OTHER NIGHT.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

COME. FOLLOW ME.

I'LL EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

HA... I DON'T LIKE YOUR ATTITUDE.

HUH?

DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU BEAT ME WITH YOUR SKILLS LAST NIGHT?

YOU'D BE DEAD BY NOW IF I HADN'T FOUGHT GWIYEONG BEFORE I RAN INTO YOU.

OR ARE YOU GIVING ME ATTITUDE...

...BECAUSE YOU KNOW MY SECRET? IS THAT IT?

I CAN EASILY KILL YOU AND THAT WOMAN, THEN GET MYSELF OUT OF HERE.

YOU THINK I CAN’T?

NO.

I ACTUALLY THINK YOU’RE MORE THAN CAPABLE OF IT.

THAT’S EXACTLY WHY...

WE NEED YOU, DAM.

WHAT...?

JOIN US...

LET’S KILL THE KING.

WH-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

WILL YOU PLEASE STOP TREATING US LIKE YOUR ENEMIES...

...AND HEAR US OUT?

YEAH. AND TRY TO USE YOUR HEAD WHILE YOU’RE AT IT.

IF WE HAD MEANT TO STOP YOU, YOU’D BE IN A CELL BY NOW.

IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN AND TALK, SO I’LL KEEP THIS SHORT.

WE WANT TO KILL THE KING, BUT WE’VE BEEN UNABLE TO GET ANYWHERE NEAR HIM.

I DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE DETAILS, BUT I HEAR YOUR UNIT ANSWERS DIRECTLY TO THE KING...

...AND WILL GET THE CHANCE TO MEET HIM.

WHO TOLD YOU THIS?

AND I HEAR YOU'VE HONED YOUR SKILLS THROUGH BATTLES IN THE NORTH.

WE NEED BOTH OF THOSE THINGS.

THAT'S WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR HELP.

WHAT A BUNCH OF NONSENSE.

EVEN IF I BELIEVED YOU...

...WHY WOULD I HELP YOU?

WHAT I WANT IS JUST THE DEATH OF THE KING HIMSELF.

I'M NOT TRYING TO OVERTHROW HIM.

THE TREASON WE SPEAK OF ARE DIFFERENT.

WE ARE JUST LIKE YOU.

WE WERE SACRIFICED FOR THE KING'S SO-CALLED GREATER GOOD.

WE'RE THE MINORITY WHO WANT TO STAND UP AGAINST THAT.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THESE THINGS...?

SO DON'T GET THE WRONG IDEA.

I'M NOT TRYING TO OVERTHROW THE DYNASTY OR SOMETHING--

COME! LET THE FEAST BEGIN!

HUH? THAT VOICE...

MY GOODNESS, SIR... WE WEREN'T EXPECTING YOU SO EARLY IN THE DAY.

WE AREN’T OPEN YET...

NONSENSE!

MUSIC AND DANCING KNOW NO CURFEW!

BRING US FOOD AND DRINKS.

OH?

I SEE A FAMILIAR FACE HERE.
