Oh my, oh my, oh my word.
- What do we do? - Cha Dol!
Cha Dol!
Ah, there is ...
Who are you?
I'm Cha Dol's mother.
And who are you?
Be careful what you say. She's the young madam of this household.
The young madam?
- What is it? - I think the sound is coming from the yard.
Episode 15
It is said even the cicada larva can crawl.
He's already remarried. That's more than I expected.
But what am I supposed to do? I don't have any intention to be looking after a small house.
- Look here! - Wenches who live off their looks like you,
I know them well, I know what is inside there.
Why? Because I'm also a beautiful woman.
- Where do you— - What's happening here?
Mother.
M-mother! I was too late in my greetings.
I am Cha Dol's mother.
Cha Dol's mother?
Sister, who is this crazy woman?
You're Cha Dol's aunt.
Cha Dol's father is good-looking too, but you take after Mother and you're so beautiful.
Like a bolt out of the blue, you've got it all wrong.
What is this woman blathering about?
Are your lips stuck together? What is the meaning of this?
I'm sorry, Mother.
It seems as though she is Cha Dol's birth mother.
Birth mother?
Then Cha Dol isn't your child, but—
Are you all right, Mother?
Mother.
- You may faint at this rate. - All of this ...
It is my fault for not coming to find you sooner.
I will explain everything,
and will quietly accept any rebukes you have for me.
For now, try to calm yourself, and let's go inside.
You come in too.
You... did you know that Cha Dol had a biological mother?
Of course she knew. She didn't give birth to him, so how could she not know?
You should be quiet for now.
Then... you schemed to deceive me until now?
- Because she didn't know even in her dreams that I would return‍— - Shut your mouth.
Even without your help, this is giving me a splitting headache!
So what was the reason? Why did you deceive me?
Were you afraid that if you said you are neither Cha Dol's mother nor Dae Seok's main wife, I would not accept you?
Is that why you fiendishly planned this with Cha Dol's father and lied to me?
I have wronged you, Mother-in-law.
Surely, she didn't lie to us on purpose. Imagine if she talked about a birth mother she knew nothing about.
It's obvious it would only hurt the poor innocent boy.
Isn't that right, Sister-in-law?
Cha Dol knows this too... that I am not his birth mother.
What?
What? Cha Dol knows? Are you saying I am the only one who wasn't informed?
Forgive me.
Do you take me... or rather ... do you take my household for a joke?!
- Mom! - Are you all right, Mother-in-law?
What are you doing? Can't you even think of water immediately?
What? Cha Dol's birth mother? Why is that wench here?
After hearing about Dae Seok getting his title back, she must've mustered her courage, in order to get a slice of that pie.
-N-no, wait wait! - Has this wench lost her ever-loving mind?
Please forgive me... Come here, you.
- Where do you think this is? Come here! - Mother-in-law!
- Come here! - How dare you barge in here like this?
Are you crazy? Are you?
The crazy person is this wench!
This wench is someone who abandoned her own son to run away in the middle of the night!
Mother-in-law, this is untrue.
It's not true. It's not true, Mother-in-law!
What's not true? I am the witness, I am!
When this wench abandoned Cha Dol in the middle of the night, I was the one who raised him on my back!
When Ba Wu grabbed a knife determined to kill her, I was the one to calm him down.
How could someone be so worthless?
Drag her away immediately!
No, please listen, Mother-in-law! Cha Dol's father was mistaken!
I can explain everything! It's a misunderstanding!
Wait! W-wait!
Park Mun Sang
Whose badge is this?
This was my late father's badge.
Your father... was a nobleman?
Yes.
Hey, where did you find this? Where did you steal this from?!
You stay out of it.
What does it say? You can read it, right?
Park Mun Seong, born in 1590.
The possessor of this badge passed the civil service exam... does that mean you're a noblewoman?
What was a noblewoman doing with someone like my brother...?
Well, you see, Sister-in-law, compared to the other peasants, there was just something extraordinary about him.
I knew it from first sight, you see?
Even if he hung around peasants like him, there was just something different about his roots.
I couldn't place my finger on it at the time, but as soon as I saw you, I recognized it.
Just as I suspected, he was a nobleman on the inside.
Why, you little ...!
Anyone can see she's a bloody liar. What's taking him so long to drag her out?
That's enough. Isn't she Cha Dol's birth mother?
Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law!
This here, these tears coming from her eyes are all fake!
Everything, from her head to toe, is a lie!
If I'm lying, show me some proof!
What evidence do I need when I've seen and listened to it firsthand?
Did you see me run away at night? You didn't!
You really must have lost your mind. Do you have a death wish?
- You sit too. - Yes, Mother-in-law.
Mother-in-law, I'll meet with Cha Dol's father.
Please call him here for me, would you?
- Brother is— - That's enough. You may leave now.
My lady. You must never accept this wench. This wench is—
- This is a household matter. It's not your concern. - But...
Why are you still standing around?
So... you just quietly stepped out?
Then what was I supposed to do? She was yelling at me to leave the room immediately.
But more importantly, that woman really is extraordinary.
That's what I want to say. I knew she was great at lying...
I never imagined she'd go this far.
Just how artfully she crafted her stories!
If I didn't know any better, she would've fooled me too!
She has her own past to worry about, do you think she'd barge in without a plan?
She probably made every preparation to fool the entire family.
Well she'd be caught for most of her lies once Ba Wu is back...
but the problem is the identity badge!
- Identity badge? - Yes, the identity badge!
Her ladyship was making a fuss about dragging her out immediately...
but as soon as she saw the badge, she changed her tune instantly.
It's no surprise that her ladyship will just die at the sight of a noblewoman!
Does Cha Dol's father know that you're the daughter of a noble family?
No...
At the time, I too had lost my title and living in poverty. So I couldn't tell him about my heritage.
This badge was merely my sole inheritance left behind by my father, so I couldn't bring myself to throw it away.
That's such a relief, isn't it?
If it weren't for this badge, you would've been kicked out immediately.
How could you be so cold? No matter what anyone says...
I'm the mother of this house's firstborn.
and I'm Dae Seok's lawful wife. His first wife, I'm telling you.
Why does that matter? If it's true that you abandoned your husband and child in the middle of the night...
you have no right to live in the women's quarters here.
I told you that's wrong. Cha Dol's father was mistaken!
I don't want to hear it. Both of you lied to me, so who am I to believe in?
Right now I can't believe anyone...
so when Cha Dol's father returns, I will listen to him,
and I'll make my decision then. So just understand that.
Yes, Mother-in-law. I will heed your words.
But Mother-in-law... where should I stay for the time being?
If you would assign me a room...
Must I decide that for you too?
Then... I will choose my own...
I don't want to see either of your faces. Both of you leave!
Leave this instant! Go!
What happened?
Please go inside.
I need to use that room.
Do you have a death wish?
I'm the first wife and you're the second.
Doesn't it make sense that I use that room?
What did you just say?
Am I being too polite? Then, let's go again ...
Does it make sense for a concubine to use a room?
Empty that room this instant!
A concubine? This wench—
Please, Mother will hear.
Gosh.
Please clean a vacant room in the servants' quarters.
Shall I take a look around the room?
- Hey, stop right there! - Leave her be.
She's not the problem right now.
We don't know what kind of trouble my husband is right now.
Perhaps his life is in danger.
- Why does it matter who uses what room? - But still!
Even so, if you let her use that room
you know he will be shocked.
That's a problem for later.
Right now, there's nothing more important that making sure my husband returns safely.
That's true, but there's nothing we can do right now.
Wait here a moment.
There's nothing for me to wear so I'll take these.
Yes, do as you please.
However, there are a few things I need right now, so I need to get them.
Could you please step aside for a moment?
I'll empty the room immediately. It shouldn't take long.
All right. Don't touch these.
Gosh, she's not a human.
I can't believe that Cha Dol came out of that belly.
Your Highness.
Please convey this letter as soon as possible.
His life depends on it, so please hurry.
I was told to ask whether there is any letter
sent by the left state councillor to Mao Wenlong.
Do you have it?
If the letter does not exist, he told me to tell you that you would be released with the understanding that
you agree to the condition of persuading the left state minister to send a war chest and troops.
If you agree, then you will be released,
but Joseon cannot avoid war.
Haven't you received any indication yet from court?
Perhaps it is preferable that there is no news.
Won't it be the left state councillor who loses an opportunity?
I hope his majesty wakes up soon.
Your Majesty, I have received a letter from Mao Wenlong.
Please make a decision.
Your Majesty.
Is there really no other way?
If you really want to save Kim Dae Seok, there is only one way.
You must send troops and a war chest, as Mao Wenlong wishes.
Would you feel better if I let Kim Dae Seok die?
It is not I, but what the Ming general Mao Wenlong wants.
I am only urging you to do this for the sake of our Joseon's safety.
Please consider it.
Your Majesty, you called for me.
Come closer.
I heard that you sent Kim Ja Jeom to the north. Why did you do that?
He's someone who lied to you.
It's a life-threatening place.
I sent him because I thought it would be a good place to test his loyalty.
Did I make a mistake?
No, you did well.
However, I don't know what you intend to do about Kim Dae Seok.
Are you really going to abandon him?
It's a waste, but what choice do I have?
If I want to appease Mao Wenlong, I have to give him a scapegoat.
If it really bothers you,
it would be better if you sent troops.
If we send troops to Mao Wenlong
although we don't have enough troops to despatch,
A misunderstanding of an afterthought that we have allied ourselves with Ming will serve as a pretext for war.
We can't go to war on an afterthought, can we?
I should send a letter to Mao Wenlong.
(Mao Wenlong is sometimes blamed for the Manchu invasion of Korea in 1627.)
This is a letter to Mao Wenlong.
The contents say that we will provide troops and a war chest as he requested
if he treats Kim Dae Seok as missing and kills him.
This is the last chance I'm giving you.
What will you do?
When you come back, you must return alone.
You have that on you, right?
The letter sent by your father to Mao Wenlong.
Telling him to kill me.
You should use that
and save your life.
It seems like I'm going to die with or without that letter, anyway.
So don't you think you at least should live?
Do you mean that?
Of course I do.
Don't you want to live?
What crap are you spewing?
Of course, I want to live.
Who on earth wants to die?
Then why aren't you asking for your life?
I've lived not owning anything and have debts here and there.
So at least to you,
I don't want to ever live in debt.
Dae Seok
I thought this was a rich household and all they have is scorched rice?
Even heaven is indifferent.
That's how much of a burden you have had to bear.
Although Your Highness is a royal child, preciously cherished by his majesty.
How could this happen to a cherished highness?
Please watch your mouth.
What will you do if someone hears?
The more I think about it, the angrier I become.
Are you not done yet?
Have a little sense and be off with you.
How much do you have to pack that you're taking the whole day?
I need to lie down so,
- roughly pack up and get out. - Your High...
Are you all right?
That little—
What?
Gosh.
It's the woodcutter we called. Come in.
- Leave it over there. - Yes sir.
That crazy woman is even telling us to prepare her eating table.
I'm back.
What happened? Did you deliver the letter?
Yes, I watched them leave in a hurry and came back.
Someone said don't worry, that nothing will happen to Cha Dol's father.
Good work.
What about that woman?
It's nice.
There was a lot to carry, right?
Thanks for your work.
Thank you.
I'm back from school.
Oh, good. Well, Cha Dol...
Where is Mother?
Is she in the kitchen?
Well...
Cha Dol.
Grandmother! I'm home.
Good.
I'm home.
Cha Dol!
Cha Dol.
My baby... He's grown up so much.
You are all grown up.
Cha Dol. You're grown up,
- my baby... - Cha Dol, she's your mother.
Say your greetings.
Cha Dol.
This lunch table!
Where should I put it?
Mother!
She's your biological mother who gave birth to you.
Say your greetings.
Cha Dol. I'm your mom.
- T-That! - Cha Dol!
Where are you going?
Who do you think you are to act like his mother?
I gave birth to him. He's my baby.
I will take care of my baby,
so from now on stay away from my Cha Dol.
Do you understand?
Prepare Cha Dol's meal, too. Bring both to my room.
Cha Dol.
Are you sure you're not going to eat?
Cha Dol.
Of course, you won't remember mom's face,
but still, I'm your mom.
A real mom that gave birth to you.
That woman...
Never mind. Forget it.
Well, time flows after all.
We will be living in the same house forever.
Let's take it a little at a time. Go on and read.
Where are you going?
I have something to ask Mother.
I always study with Mother
the part that will be covered the next day at school.
Mother, Mother, Mother!
That gets on my nerves.
When your mom, who you thought was dead, has come back,
aren't you happy?
You were not dead.
You cheated on Father with Father's friend and fled overnight.
Just read that book!
What did I say? I said we should've told them everything in the first place.
I thought they would kick us out!
When even our king knows, how would they possibly kick us out?
Oh, dear. You're so naive!
If we tell them she's the princess,
we would have to tell them why she's staying in this household.
Do you think they'll readily welcome us, knowing everything?
When their entire family could get into trouble?
No way, well...
Still, they wouldn't have kicked us out, right?
Honestly, that left state councillor is our lady's enemy.
Our princess is his daughter-in-law.
Well, technically, she's his ex-daughter-in-law, but—
I was hoping life would be a bit easy on us here, but
but that wench has appeared out of nowhere!
Our princess is so unlucky.
Her ex-mother-in-law gave her a hard time, saying that she killed her husband,
and this mother-in-law is—
No, she's not.
She's not even her mother-in-law.
She looks down upon her, saying she's not a noblewoman.
Now, she's treated as a second wife.
What can we do? What's done is done.
There's nothing we can do but wait for Ba Wu.
It's so absurd and frustrating that I could die!
Well, I wonder how Cha Dol is doing.
Mother. Mother—
Where is Mother?
Your mother is right here.
Here.
Let's go.
Hurry. Go.
I will never die leaving you all alone.
What's wrong? You can't fall asleep?
♫ Sleep, sleep, my baby. ♫
I'm not a baby though.
Just sleep.
♫ Sleep, sleep, ♫
♫ my baby. ♫
Mother.
Why aren't you sleeping?
She's snoring too loudly. I can't fall asleep.
Her snore is ten times louder than Father's.
Can I... stay here for a while?
Of course, you can. Let's sit.
Mother... the one in that room, you know.
Since she's my mother,
since I'm her son,
I know that I should listen to her and behave well, but...
But?
But I don't feel as if she's my mother.
It feels as if she's a stranger. It's weird.
I'm a little bit scared.
It could be that since you two were separated when you were a baby,
it feels like that because you don't have many memories of her.
It's only the first day,
- so when time passes, then— - But you were different.
It didn't feel weird, since the first day we met.
It just felt nice.
It's a secret.
Keep it to yourself, Mother.
What is it?
It seems that
the mother in that room doesn't like me, either.
There is no mother who doesn't like her child.
You shouldn't think like that.
Your mother will be really sad if she finds out.
I will keep your secret,
so promise me that you will never think that way, ever.
Go on.
I promise.
How can she put on an act and cry like that?
That's a skill, too. Others might fall for it.
But there could've been a bit of truth, too.
She gave him birth. She last saw her child when he was a baby, you know.
Wake up! She's so fake down to her core, that woman!
But still, Cha Dol is her only son..
When she was with Ba Wu, she would only speak lies.
Ten days after she gave birth to Cha Dol, she would go out at night.
No way.
Her baby would be so hungry and cry all night long,
but that so-called mother would come home in the morning.
What was that? She'd say she was working at a feast site,
she was giving someone hands and what not. She would keep lying.
She would go straight to sleep without feeding her child, saying she was dead tired.
Oh, heavens!
It was that bad. When I heard she fled overnight, I said
"It turned out well, Ba Wu. You should get married to another woman."
I even said that to him.
Well, she hasn't changed at all.
Why did he get married to such a woman then?
That woman had an evil plan. She got Ba Wu drunk and ...
And...
That naive idiot, Ba Wu...
And she's still called a mother. I feel so sorry for Cha Dol.
I feel more sorry for Ba Wu!
How will he get rid of her?
Kick her out or whatnot. Only Cha Dol's father can do it.
When will he come back?
Please have some rice.
Have some rice.
- Help me! - Mother!
What is this?
Sir Monk, I handed it to him.
You did a good job.
It's an emergency!
What's wrong?
I got a message from Hanyang.
His Majesty agreed to hand you over to Mu Mun Ryong.
Mu Mun Ryong will try to kill you. Please take care of yourself.
I will try to find a solution as soon as possible.
I'm going to escape from here. What are you going to do?
Are you going to come with me?
Halt.
What are you two doing here?
Where do you belong?
Get them!
- Sir Monk. - Sir Monk!
What are you doing here?
The princess asked me for this favor.
I will tell you in detail later. Hide yourselves right now.
It's dangerous around here. Go to Uiju.
Then, what about you?
Don't worry about me. Just go. Hurry!
Let's go.
Dear blessed Buddha, please look upon them.
Namo Amitabha*... (Buddhist chant)
You idiot. Why would you go against your father?
There was a silk road to success.
Is this because of that lingering affection?
I just do what my heart tells me to do.
Don't mind me. Just think of ways to stay alive.
It's the same with you, no? You could've just enjoyed being a nobleman.
Why are you risking your life?
I'm not risking my life.
I'm going to go back home alive.
I have something to protect. Someone who's more important than my life.
Death? That can come later.
Are you all right?
Please don't kill me!
Whose order is this?
It was his excellency the left state councillor's order.
I won't appear in your sight ever again,
so please spare my life—
I don't know if you've heard, but Kim Dae Seok has escaped.
He is so talented.
I don't even know how he managed to escape.
He's a criminal who defied your orders.
You must capture him quickly and turn him over to Mu Mun Ryong.
I should do that...
But, you know...
I heard your son escaped along with him.
I'm devastated, Your Majesty.
Since they escaped together, they'll probably be captured together.
I can't spare only your son either. It's quite a predicament.
Officers Kim Dae Seok and Yi Dae Yeop abdicated their duties
and botched a serious matter for our country by letting their personal emotions get the best of them.
It is right for you to give them severe punishment.
Please give severe punishment to my son, Yi Dae Yeop, Your Majesty.
You are indeed the left state councillor.
But the Westerners fail to recognize and respect your loyalty.
Because I recommended them as two admirable officers,
I'm afraid of being attacked by saying that we bear joint responsibility.
That's what I'm worried about.
It's been a while since I asked you to determine what the king hid in that house.
You haven't said a word yet.
I am sorry.
Royal guards guard the front gate to the house and prevent me from entering.
It turns out there is a man called Chun Bae who pretends to be the manager.
Chun Bae?
He's the man who bossamed the princess with Kim Dae Seok.
We kept him in our storeroom. Do you mean the churl who ran away with Court Lady Jo?
Yes, that's right.
But that man is like the close friend of Kim Dae Seok.
Isn't there anyone living in that house from whom you can extract information?
What?
Your Excellency, it's Tae Cheol.
Enter.
I think there is another woman in the main house who is not Kim Dae Seok's sister.
- Another woman? - Yes. I have bribed is a woodcutter who frequents the house regularly.
- You brought a load today, too, didn't you? - Yes.
- Good job. - Thank you.
- I'm back from school. - Ah, yes.
Where's Mom? Is she in the kitchen?
Cha Dol.
- Grandma, I went to school. - Yes.
Good boy.
I heard Kim Dae Seok's son looking for his mother.
Is that so? Then he's saying Kim Dae Seok has a wife.
Didn't you say that Kim Dae Seok is a widower with one child?
Yes, that was what I thought as well.
But based on the woodcutter's words, it's clear that she is living in that home, although I didn't see it for myself.
Find out who that woman is immediately.
Yes, Lord.
I'm only asking you to ask them if they need anything.
Why would you not agree to even that?
Madam! I am a peddler.
I have so many rings and ornaments. Please take a look.
Come in, let me look at your wares.
We cannot allow that.
She is someone I know.
I've been her customer for over ten years, so I will vouch for her identity.
That's good enough, isn't it?
This way.
Are you crazy? How can you carelessly let others enter?
I have some things that I need.
She's just a peddler.
Get out please.
What do you think you're doing?
Who are you to tell her to leave?
'You... ?'
I am the young madam of this home. I am the owner, got it?
Didn't you see the guards surrounding this home outside? It's because you can't let just anyone inside.
- Get out! Get out! - Why are you doing this?
What is going on?
No!
What is going on?
Mother.
Why all the fuss?
Mother, a peddler came.
I asked her in to show you, Mother.
And this guy is having fits trying to throw her out for no reason.
Peddler?
Yes. She says she has all kinds of things.
Hello, Madam.
I've been supplying this area for ten years.
And I heard that you just moved in, so I am paying you a visit.
Well, I never bother to look at cheap stuff.
She said she also has plenty of precious items, Mother.
Bring her in.
Yes, Mother.
Don't!
Where is she?
Because it was noisy here... Over there...
Please stay inside until the peddler leaves.
Goodness.
Let's see. Is this
bleaching powder?
Yes, Madam.
So pretty.
It's rouge. Mother, I want this one.
Are these the only rings you have?
Of course not.
It seems you like rings, Young Madam.
I wonder if there is anyone else in this home?
Who else would there be?
I just mean that if there was another madam or miss in this house
I was just hoping to sell more things, that is all.
No, there aren't.
That woman in the yard from before, she's a servant.
Yes, a servant.
Ah, yes.
So pretty.
Very pretty.
Please look some more.
She was Kim Dae Seok's wife.
A wife who wasn't there before suddenly appeared?
According to the peddler, it appears that they parted a long time ago, and reunited recently.
Did they get back together because his identity was reinstated and he now has a house?
But there is no way that his wife is all that the king is hiding in that house.
Instruct that peddler to find out more details
about everyone who lives in that house.
Yes, Lord.
You should eat with me.
I can eat later with Chun Bae, so please hurry and eat.
But it's so bothersome.
We share a room, why can't we eat together?
Please don't say that, it makes me sad.
Hurry and eat, please.
We can't know who might barge in here next. Aiyoo.
That cunning firefox of a woman...
But she is Cha Dol's mother.
Let's watch our words.
I know that.
But every little thing she does is so hateful.
Come out.
Why? What now?
Not you. You.
How dare she? Does she think she's talking to her servant?
Your Highness...
What's with these bowls?
Polish them again by the end of the day.
Yes.
You know how to polish brass bowls, don't you?
Scrub them hard with straw until they are shiny and glossy.
Yes, I will polish them well.
We have pastries and sweet rice drink, don't we?
Bring in some snacks to the main room.
Yes, I understand.
Right away.
You...
What?
How dare you glower at me?
I am the mistress and you are the servant.
Do you want to get kicked out?
Allow me to apologize on her behalf. Please calm down.
Why are you so protective of her?
One would think you're a noble lady looking out for her maid.
No, more like her nanny?
I will bring you the pastries and sweet rice drink.
I am suddenly craving cookies. Do you know how to make them?
Why? What?
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
That thing... I oughta...
What's with her?
Please go inside and eat.
The soup must be cold already.
Ugh, that...
Won't someone bossam that thing?
Bossam? Should I do it?
Should I do it and throw her outside the palace?
Yes, if you would, I would be grateful.
No, outside the palace is too safe.
How about just throw her in the river?
I feel refreshed just hearing you say that.
I want to scratch her face so it's shiny and glossy.
What?
Your skin looks beautiful today.
Isn't it too pale for her?
What do you mean? She looks flawless and beautiful.
It applies so smoothly because you have flawless pale skin, Mother-in-law.
Yes, I have been told I have good skin since I was young.
I can totally tell.
You have perfect facial features, too.
If I were as half beautiful as you, I would've been told I was a beauty.
That's good. You can stop.
Wait a minute. We need to apply yeonji (rouge), too.
I told you, that's enough.
It won't take long.
Oh, dear. I didn't get what people meant by "lips like cherries".
You got that lips like cherries!
Wait a second.
I didn't get what people meant by "sweet talk", I guess this is it.
What's wrong with a daughter-in-law sweet-talking to her mother-in-law?
It just means that the daughter-in-law does a good job meeting the mother-in-law's standards.
I wonder whether you have a good personality or good a stomach.
I've brought some snacks.
Snacks?
I thought you'd be a bit hungry by now, so I ordered her to bring some.
Bring it in.
You did a good job. You can leave now.
You should have some with us, Sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law, you're too much.
What did I do?
I'm not generous like Buddha.
She's a second wife that flirted with my husband and lured my child.
How could I have snacks with that wench?
Don't you agree, Mother-in-law?
You did a good job. You can go and rest now.
Didn't I tell you that I'm going to make a decision when Cha Dol's father arrives?
You should keep it down until then.
Yes, Mother-in-law. I'll keep it in mind.
"Yes, Mother-in-law. Yes, Mother-in-law."
She's good at replying.
Sister-in-law.
This... I picked it earlier for you. I thought it would look good on you.
Try it on.
I don't think you bought this for me.
I can ask Cha Dol's dad to buy me one later. Try it on.
Come to think of it, you haven't asked about Cha Dol's father.
He hasn't been home for a couple of days. You're not curious about his whereabouts?
I heard that he went to the North on the king's order.
How did you know?
Did you tell her?
No, I didn't.
I... heard... from the guards at the front gate.
Really?
I haven't seen them talk.
That's why I prayed last night.
So he can come home healthy and well.
If that's true, I guess my brother is fortunate with his wives.
Life away from one's homeland is not easy.
I wonder whether he's healthy and eating well..
I, too, cannot even swallow a sip of water when I think of Cha Dol's father.
Why don't you swallow that first?
Well, this must be it.
Is that you can swallow everything but water?
Be quiet! Is it time to joke around?
You're not worried about your brother?
Yi Dae Yeop. Yi Dae Yeop!
Who are you all?
Why did you bring us here?
While monitoring Mao Wenlong, we found you two.
We brought you here because you seemed useful. Who are you?
We are military staff guards from Joseon.
Military staff guards?
We could not find any evidence that you are that.
It's true though. We don't have any proof, but we really are military staff guards.
He had a secret note for Mao Wenlong.
How dare you lie?
That is...
You can swallow that right now?
I've starved myself all day thinking of Cha Dol's dad. I got dizzy.
Would you like to have one?
Never mind. Forget it.
Talking further will just tire out my mouth...
I shall kick that girl out soon.
It will give me a headache when Ba Wu returns.
Hey, Yi Dae Yeop.
Hey! Wake up.
Yi Dae Yeop!
Are you all right?
What happened?
We got caught again.
That's not the problem here. These people took the secret note you had.
We both could die.
So... don't you ever mention
your father, got it?
You can use me and get out of here.
Think straight.
Bossam - Steal the Fate
This man has nothing to do with Mao Wenlong. You can kill me and let this man go.
That man outside will die.
No, we have to stop him.
If you don't keep the promise, it might bring you bigger trouble.
I'm not the one that's going to keep the promise. The left state councillor is.
I can swear to the sky, I never—
You say you didn't do it, but here is the proof.
I guess you really have a death wish, don't you?
Why did you even bother to go to East to embarrass your father?
It's because the king is right and you're wrong.
I sincerely love her with all my heart.
No! I can't leave!
I'm going to tell them everything!
That woman is... the princess.
