The Face Reader Page #4

I read the wrong man.

This man won't be afraid

of blood for the throne.

But how did they know

I was coming?

Kim Nae-kyeong!

Hey, face reader.

How have you been?

He could be a problem.

Kill him.

Why don't you

read my face too?

Face reader Kim.

You work hard these days.

Have you been following me?

You have an interesting talent.

I've warned

Su-yang about you.

That's how I got

you and your king fooled.

I have an offer.

Let us change

the world together.

Nothing difficult.

All you have to do is

tell this to the king.

Late king had told you to

find a potential traitor and

that person you found

was Kim Jong-seo.

Tell him Kim is plotting for a

coup and he should be stopped.

What say you?

Get rid of Kim and put

Su-yang on the throne?

Never in my life will I

help you commit treason.

Do you think I'll

kill you that easily?

I'll gouge your eyes out

so you can't read

faces anymore.

Not only that.

I'll cut off both legs

of your brother-in-law.

You devil!

And I'll find your

one and only son.

I'll find him

and butcher him.

Don't you dare!

Mr. Kim Nae-kyeong

I know you want to

restore your family's honor.

If Su-yang becomes king

Your family will prosper

for generations to come.

Chance of a lifetime.

Think about it.

They vetted you.

They'll find us

wherever we go.

Let's do as they say.

I heard Su-yang is

very generous

and loyal to his men.

How can you ask so easily

to commit treason?

Think about it!

Think about your son

Jin-hyeong.

He's hiding his name to

keep a small position.

That kid could

become a minister!

Isn't success what you wanted?

This is the only way!

Just think of Jin-hyeong.

Who's that?

Why are you here?

Vice Premier Kim

ordered us to come.

He wants you to report

the number and names of

every illegal soldier you have.

Tell him to focus on

educating the young king.

What is the point of this?

These are all the

soldiers you have?

Three's more than enough

to hunt a cub.

How dare you.

That's very rude.

It's a perfect shot.

You hit the tiger!

I thought I saw something.

It was a tiger you

caught earlier.

Please let me catch it

next time?

Of course!

Wait!

Let's give this tiger to

Lord Kim as a present.

Should I skin it first?

Or cut the head first?

That's a hard question.

MY lord!

Please be calm!

You don't have to hide.

I knew you'd be here.

Between a tiger

and a wolf.

Haven't made up

your mind yet?

Why are you here?

Every famous fortunetellers

and face readers are here.

Of course I'm invited.

People are so fast.

They're attracted to power

as moths are to light.

Who would stay

with the young king?

This looks exactly

like the palace.

Now

shall we talk about

my fortune?

You will be the new leader of

the eastern peninsula!

Oh my king!

Please lead us

from ignorance!

Your face's five points

resemble the king's mountain.

Is that true?

- Pardon me?

- Are you telling the truth?

Of course.

Your expression says otherwise.

Tell me the truth.

- Your Highness...

- Tell me!

Without a coup

you won't be able to

become a king.

Please don't commit treason.

It'll be a tragedy

for this country.

This country is founded

by the Lees.

Why is a Kim trying to

ruin everything?

The old tiger you work for

could kill the young king.

I know you work for Kim.

Oh, it's you!

I'm glad to see you.

Things were getting boring.

Would you read my face?

Am I going to be the king?

Tell me.

Do I have a king's face?

Perhaps I have odd features.

Even the best face reader

can't read my face.

Make up your mind quickly.

Because it'll be too late

when I'm already the king.

You could've said

what he wanted.

You could've been killed.

Are you doing well?

Huh?

I know what it's like.

It's difficult when

you first start.

I'm happy when

I help people in need.

If you hadn't born

in our family

you could've kept your name

and done much better.

You don't feel bitter?

I do feel bitter.

That's why I investigated

grandfather's case.

He had committed many crimes.

Because of him

many people died

and the country

was harmed.

But rather than

feeling bitter for myself

I decided to focus

on my work.

Perhaps I'll be able to

wash away some of his sins.

Thank you.

Huh?

Your face look

a bit different.

My eyes are weaker.

I think it's because I read

under dim light.

Eyes are the window

to the soul.

You have to watch out

your face changing in a bad way.

Okay.

I want to become a

proud father to you.

I believe Su-yang is ready.

If you face

a foe like him head-on

you will undoubtedly lose.

We have to start soon.

When?

I'll do it tomorrow

after king's banquet.

Su-yang's only weakness

is having less experience

than you.

But he has a secret schemer

who's very helpful to him.

I have prepared a kid

who looks like him.

The body of the real king

will be cut into 300 parts

and dispersed in the mountains.

Preemptive strike is

the only answer.

That's the only way.

This is my father's writing.

My father had told you

to find a traitor

by face reading?

Isn't this

Prince Su-yang?

Please look at that portrait

of King Taejong.

Doesn't Su-yang

look like him?

What are you implying?

Are you telling me just like

my great-grandfather

my uncle will take the throne?

Your Majesty.

Take a look at

Su-yang's face.

He has his grandfathers

strong desire for power.

Face reading

is a trivial matter.

My father really

believed in this?

Your Majesty.

Lord Kim, are you

that afraid of Su-yang?

It's not a matter of

being afraid.

The whole country's at stake.

We're not just telling you

based on face reading.

People can't stop talking about

Su-yang's atrocious acts.

You have to stop

him immediately.

My pawn is

threatening your king.

Nine o'clock!

You're leaving early to

China tomorrow.

Should we stop?

It'll be like a tour

don't you worry.

Excuse me while

I use the restroom.

Stick it in

under the ear lobe.

Don't soil your hands, Prince

Today Vice Premier Kim

and Nae-kyeong came.

They told me that you're

trying to dethrone me.

Who can predict the future?

They only know how

to read faces.

They don't know

what's underneath.

Nobody knows

what's underneath.

Don't listen to them.

I don't want to.

I remember the friendly

uncle who took care of me.

I want to remember

you like that.

If it is my destiny

to commit treason

I will change it

with my free will.

What is it?

There was an order to

switch at nine o'clock.

- From whom?

- Vice Premier Kim.

Since when is he

in charge of security?

I asked him to do it.

I thought the guards would be

tired without a shift change.

Please excuse me.

I'll be off to bed.

A traitor's face.

Before Su-yang leaves for China

his soldiers were on standby

near palace.

He was with the king

until late.

And I found this poison needle

while searching the floor.

This prison kills the victim

by inducing a 10-day fever.

He may be trying to divert

the suspicion while he's in China.
