Episode 16
It could be that Young Master Ju Wal really doesn't have anything to do with the Magistrate's mother.
He didn't appear to be lying or hiding anything.
That's right. It could have been coincidence that they were walking together.
Don't go!
What's this?
It's definitely that deserted house in the forest.
Why was the Young Master Ju Wal there?
Was it also Young Master Ju Wal that took the Magistrate's mother there?
What's really going on? Let's find out together.
Later...
I'll tell you everything later on.
I'm sorry, Arang.
The truth regarding your death might have something to do with my mother, so I couldn't bring myself to tell you.
I think the time has come to tell you.
Why was Lee Seo Rim...
at that deserted house...
together with Young Master Ju Wal?
Where did you go that you're only just getting back?
I . . .
have something to tell you.
I have something to tell you, too.
Was it really your mother?
Yes.
But how can that be?
I'm not sure what's going on.
But I have to figure it out. I need to figure it out in order to makes things right again.
Do you have a way to figure things out?
I'm not sure yet but I'll find a way.
Considering what I had to do to find her.
Anyway..., to think that my master really was the Jade Emperor... I thought the Grim Reaper was just spouting nonsense.
Magistrate,
I was thinking about these things we're experiencing.
I don't think this is just coincidence.
It was the Jade Emperor who taught you how to fight ghosts.
It was also the Jade Emperor who sent me back after he turned me into a human being.
It was also the Jade Emperor's hairpin that brought you and me together.
Jade Emperor.
So my finding out the truth about my death and your finding your mother
everything seems to be according to the Jade Emperor's plans.
Why in the world would he do that?
In any case, when I uncover the truth behind my death, I'm going to figure out what that old fart is plotting, too.
Oh yeah, Magistrate.
Yes?
Find the man who killed my nanny.
Don't worry about it too much.
I'll get Lord Choi for sure and resolve your nanny's grudge so get some sleep.
Okay.
I'm sorry about the thing regarding Ju Wal.
I don't think it's the right time to tell you about it yet.
I'll tell you when I can remember something more substantial.
Search the royal forest area throughly and make sure you find the corpse!
Yes, Sir!
Let's go!
Finally this day has come! This day! What shall we do?
A murder case investigation in our own office? What kind of nonsense is this?
To think that our Office even overlooked the issue of the former Magistrate's wife...
Must we deal with the nonsense of uncovering the death of the nanny?
Oh my...
This won't do Lord Bang... Lord Bang?
Oh!
What a long time it's been since I've worked a crime scene.
That's right. This is what I should have been doing originally.
Last night, there were a lot of strong winds, so there are probably a lot of leaves on the ground.
You might miss the corpse so search thoroughly.
Yes, Sir!
Uh? That bastard, why does he put his spoon in my bowl? (meaning "he's stealing my work!")
Tha....that's my..
This way... come more this way.
Come this way. This is the direction over here.
Don't you hear what I'm saying?
Who are you?
What?
I'm Hyeong Bang, don't you know what that means? [hyeong bang : an office of Justice Department]
Here it is!
Go get the Magistrate and bring him here.
Yes.
This isn't how it's supposed to be.
It's a good thing that it was easier to find than we had anticipated.
She's not a total stranger to us, so I feel so bad...
I wish you have a healthy and long life too, Sir.
It would be better if you didn't look.
Why? I need to see for myself.
Don't look.
The Heaven is also inattentive! How could you send her back like this?
Hey, let's go...
Agassi! Agassi! Agassi!
Agassi!

You must be cold.
I'm sorry.
Look for the identification tag.
Clean the body sincerely.
Take it back to the office.
We need to go get the owner of that name tag.
What is it?
I'm Dol Soe.
What do you think you're doing!?
I'm only going to say this once
so listen carefully.
My Magistrate said
that you're the killer of the Office Seamstress old lady, so he told me to arrest you right away.
What? This slave bastard, how could you frame me like that?
I just found out that your last name was Park.
Take him in.
Yes, Sir!
Let go.
Stay still!
What?
Who was taken in?
Why?
Yes . . .
It was a charge for killing the Office Seamstress.
What did you say?
They found the Seamstress' body.
they said that she was holding on to his indentification tag.
What a moron!
He couldn't handle that one thing carefully.
So this Magistrate that punk wants a go at it, does he?
Go get Lee Bang right now!
Come on.
So, living through this world, I see a day when Geo Deol is tied up.
As there is a Magistrate in the Office, something is finally happening.
That's it.
Seeing Geo Deo being arrested,
I can handle whatever the Magistrate does from now on.
Take that you terrible punk!
Thank you for finding my mother, Magistrate.
I almost became a terrible daughter not knowing the memorial date for her own mother.
Back when we found my corpse,
that Seamstress was holding on to my corpse and
crying.
Yes, she was.
I didn't see that back then.
My sorrow was too big
that I didn't see my nanny's grief.
When I saw my nanny's corpse
was when I finally figured it out.
Besides me, there were others who cried for me.
If I knew that earlier,
I wouldn't have wandered around other places to find Lee Seo Rim...
Then, I would've also found out about the thing with Young Master Ju Wal easily.
Hey, that is exactly the Jade Emperor's plan.
Had you known back then,
you would've fallen for him at once.
You said you fell for him at first sight.
That's what would have happened.
What?
"That's what would have happened?"
By the way, Magistrate, will you let this case drop after catching Geo Deol only?
Hey, the real criminal is Lord Choi.
How can I wash my hands of it now?
I thought you would let this case drop after doing things roughly.
I'm not that kind of Magistrate.
But why was Lord Choi so curious about your identity?
Then was Choi Ju Wul aware of everything too?
Ju Wal?
No, I don't think that's possible.
There is no way Lee Seo Rim would have loved a man like that.
There must be another reason.
Young Master,
how Lee Seo RIm died,
were you not at all curious?
Why would the Lady
ask such a thing so suddenly?
I have something I would like to ask.
Do you remember the daughter of the previous Magistrate?
Was it Lee Seo Rim, the girl I was engaged to?
Yes.
At that time, I wasn't interested in her at all, so I don't even remember her face.
So what about it?
Do you want to see her face now?
That's not it.
That lady, was I
the one who killed her?
Yes.
Yes, you did.
That night she followed you to our location and
saw everything.
So wouldn't killing her be the only thing we could do?
You must be deeply shocked.
Considering she was supposed to be your destiny if you did things right.
So why are you asking, instead of keeping everything buried?
Why do you think I bother to erase your memories of the killings?
Why did you do that?
Why?
Why did I do what?
Why did I erase your memories or
why did I allow you to kill her?
I'm talking about both.
You foolish boy! You're the one who killed her!
As you were not competent at all, you dragged her there.
What's this? Are you resenting me for erasing your memories?
I did it in order to save you.
You wanted it.

Are you still feeling distressed?
It's not easy killing a person.
However, if you're distressed everytime like this, then what can be done?
If I knew you were so feeble like this, I wouldn't have brought you at that time.
Save me.
Do you want me to erase it again?
Erasing the likes of those memories can be done anytime.
It's simple. Shall I erase them?
Do you now understand?
Who was the one to really let you live?
Was it that wench, Arang?
Lee Seo Rim...
why did she come all the way here?
How should I know that?
If you meet her again, ask her once.
Young Master!
The fact that Arang that girl is Lee Seo Rim
shouldn't be revealed yet.
There will probably be a more useful time for that.
Tell me honestly. You didn't know that, right?
Even if I'm the master of Baduk, I can't read all moves.
When you sent Arang, you must have known that Mu Yeon wouldn't be able to take a soul at the right timing.
So, you must have anticipated that her strength would have dropped to a certain level,
but not to that extent, right?
That's right.
I also didn't know of Kim Eun Oh's mother's strength...
So it's certainly some variable.
You sit here as if you know everything, but...
still, finding out that there are things you don't know sure doesn't feel bad.
That is exactly the reason I believe in humans.
More than expected, the strength that humans hold to their hearts. Isn't that really surprising?
Anyway, is Moo Yeong still putting himself on his good behavior?
Moo Yeon.
I don't know what I have to do to save you.
It would've been better to destroy you myself...
Have you really completely forgotten?
Brother.
Don't call me like that.
Brother!
Do you really like being here, brother?
Crossing over the Hwangcheon River and just fishing the dead souls.
The same thing day after day. I asked, do you really like this?!
Why do you hate this so much?
They say I can't have anything!
What's so wrong about the desire to have something?
But in this world, they don't let me have anything.
Even if I have to roll in dog shit, I prefer doing so in the world of the living.
I want to live as a human.
So that life in the world of the living, which you desired so much,
is that of a monster's life as it is now?
Even though that old man covered it all, I should still take a look.
Some memory might come up.
There was someone who held you deep inside of her heart, I hope you keep that in mind.
Young Master.
Why is he here?
Young Master.
Lady.
Why are you here?
Lady, too, why are you here...?
I've come here before.
Before...
there was a deserted house here.
Young Master too...
did you know of it?
No... I... didn't....
Young Master.
I have to go.
Young Master.
When Lee Seo Rim died...
there...
were you there?
Lee Seo Rim.
Kim... Lord Kim Eun Boo?
Over there.... is he Lord Kim Eun Boo?
----
L... Lord!
Father!
Eun Oh.
Have you been well these days?
Please forgive me for my disrespect.
No.
About your questions, I thought about answering by a letter,
but as I was curious, I decided to come here.
But... why did you ask me about Lord Choi?
Actually... I think Mother came here because she wanted to meet Lord Choi.
Exactly what kind of relationship did Lord Choi and Mother have?
Father.
It is a grudge which has been too long and too deep
Your maternal grandfather, Lord Seo Yoon Soo, was once Left State Minister.
About the evil deed made by Lord Choi, the Magistrate at that time,
there were a lot of petitions submitted endlessly,
so your maternal grandfather tried to punish him.
However, Lord Choi framed your grandfather
for a false treason.
Because of that, only your mother's life was saved...
but the rest of her family
were killed brutally.
Eun Oh.
Be understanding of your mother.
Probably... even looking at you was difficult.
Because of her own grudge,
she neglected her own child, so how would she feel as a mother?
That's why she must have come to that decision.
She must have thought that it was better for you if she took all that grudge and disappeared from your sight.
Therefore... she left you.
Eun Oh.
Yes, Father.
Both ruling the country and ruling people of a town are just one thing at the end.
Taking their side,
listening to their stories, that all that is needed.
Don't forget that.
I will keep that in mind, Father.
If anything happens, be sure to contact me.
Your father will help you.
You... Did you really come here?
I mean.. did you really come here to kill that person?
I won't let that bastard go.
Someday, I will surely get revenge!
Mother! Mother!
Mother...
Lee Seo Rim.
Finding who killed you...
finding out the whole truth...
I don't know why it hurts my heart so much.
To find out the truth,
for me to go to heaven,
I need to find that guy and punish that person.
That...
is what you really hope for, Lee Seo Rim?
Arang!
What are you doing here, in this dark room?
Did something happen?
What's wrong with your face?
Oh...
What happened?
Alright. If you don't want to talk now, don't.
I don't know what happened, but...
don't forget what I said about being with you until you go to heaven.
♫Oh, Wind...please tell this as you brush by.
♫That I'm behind her.
♫Oh, Cloud... please put this in the raindrop you catch and send it to her.
♫That I'm next to her.
♫Oh, Time...even if my fate is blinding me,
♫Please protect that love which is deep inside her.
♫I love you, I love you.
♫You're that beautiful person I cherished more than my life.
I found a person who worked as a servant at Lord Choi's house 3 years ago.
Yes, that's right.
3 years ago, there was a woman who came from Kimhae.
She did chores in the kitchen of Lord Choi's house for a few days.
Chores?
Yes.
She didn't seem like a person who would do such things,
but she begged to let her work at Lord Choi's house.
At the end, Kim Seobang of that house let her in, but...
But?
She put poison in Lord Choi's soup.
And she was caught. It became a big mess.
After that, nobody knew where she was.
I also thought that that was weird.
The Lord isn't such a person who easily lets it go.
I understand.
That... Ma-... Lord Magistrate.
I actually have a request.
Request?
What request?
It's about forced labor.
Did you say forced labor?
Yes. Although he's not supposed to have that duty,
he said he was continuously forced to work for the government's construction work.
Find out about the situation.
Situation or what-not,
They're doing it without saying a word since it was ordered by Lord Choi.
I know that too.
That's why you have to find out about what the situation is, right.
Excuse me, Lord Magistrate.
Please come out for a bit.
These people are saying that they have something that they have to tell you, Magistrate.
Tell him.
Say something already!
The Magistrate will listen to it well.
You, go outside.
Pardon?
Oh, okay.
You can talk now. ....
Tell him already!
I heard it from Mr. Kim.
You said that you would investigate about Lord Choi's evil deeds,
for those who would talk about it.
Yes, I said that.
With only a few acres of rice field, I have to feed a family of 9,
he even took that away.
My father commited suicide and my mother passed from the grief.
My son drank alcohol.
Because he said some bad things about Lord Choi.
He was beaten all night and became handicapped from it.
At the end, he became insane.
I was unable to pay back my debt to Lord Choi so
I had to sell my twelve year old daughter.
Sir!
Please save us!
Sir!
-Sir! -Please save us, sir!
What a useless bastard!
What were you doing while all that was going on in the office?
I am sorry for this fault, My Lord.
What is the state of the government office these days?
Yes.
He hired more patrol men,
and let that slave bastard Dol Soe train those patrol men.
As you are aware, the death of the nanny caused someone to be taken in and charged for the murder.
That's not all.
What else is there?
The village folks are acting suspicious these days.
The village folk?
They keep trying to talk to the Magistrate.
I don't know what is being said.
Village people are going in and out of the government office?
I understand. Go now.
Yes.
And...
tell Geo Dol this.
Yes.
Why do you work separately from others these days?
Why do you keep hanging around my master?
That... I just want to.
If you're trying to harm my master, don't even dream about it!
What harm?
I have just chosen my line. That's all.
What line?
I have just chosen to be with the Magistrate.
No matter how much I think about it, the Magistrate is just my type.
What? What did you just say?
Your type?
Sir! Are you...?!? No! Are you falling for him?
Huh? What are you talking about?
What's with ghosts and elderly men?
Live as you were! There's no line here!
Hey there! How did you become like this?
You... How come Geo Deol's life...
went broke like this? ("Geo Deol" means "go broke" in Korean)
This is why naming a person is important...
Forget the meaningless chatter.
Did the Lord say something else?
There was. Why wouldn't there be?
Just to tell you this, I walked through so much danger...
all the way here.
When you get out of here.
speak kindly of us to Lord Choi.
When I go out?
Did he say he'll take me out?
I don't know about that, but he said this one thing.
What did he say?
Do you want to live a thick but short life,
or live a thin and long life?
What?
Then we'll leave.
What is that supposed to mean?
Huh?
I just relayed the message. What could it mean?
Doesn't it mean that he should shut his mouth?
The village people are going in and out of the government office?
Kim Seo Bang!
Give this letter to the Gyeongsang Province Governor urgenlty!
I said it was unfair because I couldn't see.
And now you're letting me see, but not hear?
If you're going to give it to me, you should do it properly!
Such a sloppy spiritual power like this!
Take it away immediately!
Do you... all know?
Huh?
This is... BOSSAM!
As we wrap it like this, its taste is so awesome!
The meat is so tender and it doesn't even have a fat smell.
As I put it with Kimchee, its taste harmony is fantastic!
That bandit-like future son-in-law,
to win her heart...
he keeps bringing pork to give to her.
Two of them were like,
feeding each other, sucking their fingers,
I can't watch it as it's so cheesy!
What are they saying? I can't hear a thing.
But.. how did she know about the bossam to ask for it at the offering table?
The bossam...
is a word I made.
Then, what we did, what I...
she knows about all of it?!?
How much does she know?
I don't know if being able to see is good...
or if being able to hear is good..
I have no idea...!
Nothing's gone right.
Poisoning?
Yes.
My mother went into that house to get revenge against Lord Choi.
Then somehow, somewhere,
her body was captured by that beast.
And she was made to live in that house.
What on earth could be that beast's identity?
Can you save your mother from that beast?
I have to save her; without fail, I will save her.
What would be the relationship between that monster and Lord Choi..?
Lord Choi...
It's an old talisman.
It's a talisman that was here before I was born.
The talisman's maker, I wouldn't know if he's alive or not.
Speaking of that, that house's location has some good luck.
Before, when Lord Kim was living there, he was successful too.
I heard that even before him, Lord Park was also successful.
Ah, now that I think of it...
Miryang's real power has came out of that house all the time.
As expected,
I think that monster has lived in that house even before Lord Choi.
Since before?
Yes.
All the people, who used to live in that house, borrowed that monster's power
so that they could enjoy the wealth and the power.
It's the same as Lord Choi.
Then, Lord Choi won't give that beast up.
Undoubtedly, he's hidden her somewhere else.
We'll have to find that hideout.
How?
Where were you all?!?
We ran away.
Well, really scary spirits kept wandering in and out of there.
I didn't want to run away...
but these guys ran, and I followed them.
I still wasn't going to run...
but I was afraid to be alone, so I followed after them.
Well, then you should have at least come and said something.
Or else, don't come back again!
I heard that now there are no more demons there.
I guess there is none, thanks to me!
Therefore, to us, the ghosts,
the rumor about you is well known.
Rumor? What rumor?
What are they saying?
That you're a Magistrate that is scarier than ghosts!
Never mind that.
Go back to keeping watch on Lord Choi's house.
If you see any suspicious moves in that house, come and report to me immediately.
Yes.
I have come.
Alright.
I have brought you some food.
Ok.
Then, I will leave it here and go.
MAGISTRATE!!!
Magistrate, what's going on?
I thought you said you got rid of all the demons!
How could you lie to us like this?
What are you talking about?
That is the scariest energy I've ever seen.
Yes, ghosts like us can't even dare to go near it. It has such a huge energy.
The lair has been found!
Where do you think you're going?
Let me go with you.
It's dangerous. Stay here.
Let's go together!
There aren't even that many days left for us to be together.
Whatever it is, aren't two better than going alone?
That's it over there.
I am unable to go any closer.
I understand. Good job.
It can't be.
Did that child come?
Stay behind me.
That stylish lady came to find me here.
I'm Ju Wal's aunt.
-Then I'm going in now.
Come to visit us at the house sometime.
She has a good style.
Young Master Ju Wal's...
aunt?
What?
It's been a while, Magistrate.
I was too surprised at that time, so I couldn't even recognize my son.
Are you alright?
This isn't it.
I was wrong.
Don't come near me.
Don't come close.
Lady.
Please get a hold of yourself.
Don't come closer.
Lady.
I said don't come closer!
Young Master.
What is this?
I don't know.
Move.
Who is this?
I don't know.
How did she get here?
I don't know.
On this holy and good day, what is this ominous happening?
Since she probably saw everything, I can't just let her go this way.
I need to erase (her memory).
Take care of it.

Lee Seo Rim, finding the person who killed you, finding out the whole truth... Why...
I don't know why it's so heartbreaking.
To find out the truth, to go to heaven, I need to find that person and punish him.
Is that what you really hope for?
What should I do, Arang?
I came all the way here to reveal the truth about your death and send you to heaven, but...
why did it have to be my mother?
Magistrate...
Don't forget that I will be with you until you go to heaven.
