Chetamja: The King’s Eyes — S2 - Chapter 66

I’LL BE OFF THEN.

I’M SORRY.

THIS ISN’T WHAT I WANTED, BUT THEY ASSIGNED ME TO THIS CASE.

ARE YOU SURE...

IT ISN’T WHAT YOU WANTED?

WHAT?

EVEN AFTER YOU QUIT BEING A CHETAMJA,

YOU WANTED TO STAY IN THE NORTH.

THAT’S WHEN I REALIZED...

...THERE IS STILL TOO MUCH DEVOTION LEFT IN YOU.

WH-WHY DO YOU SAY THAT?

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK IT IS.

IT WILL ONLY TAKE A WHILE.

I'LL BE BACK BEFORE YOU KNOW IT. THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

ARE YOU SURE THERE IS NO WAY OUT OF THIS?

WHAT IF YOU DON'T GO?

CAN'T YOU STAY HERE WITH US?

DARLING...

I TOLD YOU...

THE KIDS NEED THEIR FATHER.

AND I...

...NEED YOU TOO.

MY DARLING...

I KNOW YOU FEEL AS IF THE KINGDOM IS TAKING ME AWAY FROM YOU.

BUT THAT ISN'T TRUE.

FOR ME, THIS IS THE BEST WAY...

...TO KEEP YOU, HUN, BUN, AND HYEON SAFE.

I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

NO.

I CAN’T UNDERSTAND THAT...

...AND I DON’T EVER WANT TO UNDERSTAND IT!

DON’T GO...

PLEASE...

I’LL BE BACK SOON.

H-HOW DID THIS HAPPEN...?

I DON'T BELIEVE IT...

NO...

NO...

DO WE KNOW WHO DID IT?

IT'S ALL TOO OBVIOUS.

WHAT...?

IT MUST BE THE BARBARIANS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SIR? HOW COULD THE BARBARIANS HAVE DONE THIS?

AND WHY?

WHY? THAT'S A FUNNY THING TO ASK.

BECAUSE HE IS A CHETAMJA.

IT DOESN’T HAPPEN EVERY DAY, BUT IT DOES OCCUR TIME TO TIME.

ONCE A CHETAMJA IS EXPOSED, BARBARIANS TAKE VENGEANCE ON THEM.

BUT HOW COULD THEY HAVE LEARNED ABOUT JANG KIM?

MAYBE HE GOT EXPOSED WHILE INVESTIGATING HOEBEON.

ONE OF THEM WAS A BARBARIAN, REMEMBER?

OR PERHAPS IT WAS THE MISSION BEFORE THAT.

OR THE OTHER ONES THAT CAME PRIOR TO THAT.

THE TRUTH IS, THERE WERE SO MANY TIMES HE COULD’VE BEEN EXPOSED.

AFTER ALL, THAT'S THE WORK OF A CHETAMJA.

A-ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS? WERE THERE ANY WITNESSES?

C-CAPTAIN?

I CAME HERE TO SAY GOODBYE, SIR.

KIM. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY YOU GAVE ME.

UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T THINK I CAN CONTINUE AS A CHETAMJA.

AND WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU QUIT?

ARE YOU GOING TO AVENGE YOUR FAMILY ON YOUR OWN?

...!!

SEE? YOU CAN'T ANSWER ME.

I WON'T CAUSE YOU ANY TROUBLE, SIR.

C-CAPTAIN, THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

FIRST, YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN.

I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL.

SO...

S-SIR...?!

YOU THINK YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

YOU KNOW NOTHING.

DON'T PRESUME TO UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL.

TRY TO CONSOLE ME AGAIN WITH THOSE EMPTY WORDS...

...AND I MIGHT JUST KILL YOU.

GUARDS!!

SEIZE HIM!!

C-CAPTAIN!

PLEASE! CALM DOWN!

STOP ACTING LIKE THIS!

...!!

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME...!

STOP.

THAT'S ENOUGH.

FORGET YOUR PLANS, OR I'LL CHARGE YOU WITH TREASON.

I'M SORRY.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MUST BE GOING THROUGH.

BUT THIS WILL SPIN OUT OF CONTROL IF YOU CROSS THE BORDER...

...AND GET YOURSELF CAPTURED BY THE BARBARIANS.

YOU KNOW TOO MANY SECRETS THAT MIGHT JEOPARDIZE THE SECURITY OF THIS KINGDOM.

THEN...

...JUST KILL ME INSTEAD.

IF THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO,

I'D RATHER DIE.

WE WILL AVENGE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

ONE DAY, YOUR SORROW WILL BE INFLICTED UPON THEM.

SO PLEASE... I NEED YOU TO STAY ALIVE.

THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING YOU.

HIC...

SOB

WAIL

OUCH... THAT HURTS.

LET ME TAKE A LOOK. HOW IS IT?

IT'S FINE, BUT IT DOES STING A LITTLE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN CAPTAIN KIM ACT LIKE THAT BEFORE.

HE HAD HIS REASONS. TRY TO BE MORE UNDERSTANDING.

OF COURSE, I UNDERSTAND HIM!

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING.

DON'T YOU THINK IT WAS HARSH TO THROW HIM IN A CELL?

THEY HAD NO CHOICE.

IF THEY HADN'T LOCKED HIM UP, HE WOULD'VE CROSSED THE BORDER BY NOW.

THAT'S PRACTICALLY SUICIDE.

JONGSEO KIM TRIED HIS BEST TO BE ACCOMMODATING, BUT HE HAD NO CHOICE.

TRUE, BUT STILL...

BY THE WAY...

...HAVE YOU SEEN GWIYEONG?

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO STAY HERE?

YOU CAN'T KEEP ME LOCKED UP FOREVER.

WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH, SIR.

BUT I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

WE'RE JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS.

AFTER SOME TIME, I'M SURE--

CAPTAIN...

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

COME ON OUT.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO.
