(Lawyers in the Joseon Era)
- Grandmother. - Shut your mouth!
I understand that you had a job to do.
Even so. How could you make me think that you were dead?
There are some things that one must never do! You brat!
Playing with people's lives...
or food is not acceptable!
Do not just sit there. Eat!
I do not even want to see you. So you better finish...
all the food for your funeral altar! You ungrateful brat!
If you leave a grain of rice,
I will be going into that coffin!
What... Grandmother.
Wait.
Did you have to blow up the mine?
Do not even start.
Imagine how awful it must have been for him to blow up the mine.
What was his name? Was it Do Soo? This jerk showed up out of the blue.
On top of that, that darn secret inspector...
flocked to the mine with the soldiers. We had no choice.
So what about the secret inspector? Did you take care of him?
We just made a grave...
for that inspector at the bottom of the mine.
Tae Seo had to blow up his mine because of the secret inspector.
Think about everything he went through to dig up silver.
Gosh.
He cannot seem to snap out of it.
He was completely enraged.
So he went to see his old man to end things.
But he did not tell me how it went. He just clammed up like that.
Listen. We risked our lives...
to get rid of that secret inspector.
If he has a conscience, your old man will look out...
for us. Right?
I understand that you are his illegitimate child,
but he is still your father.
Are you out of your mind?
Come on. It is not like we have any choice here.
They must have ransacked the hideout and mine by now.
It will not take long for them to catch us.
That is why I am here.
Get ready to leave now.
We must get on a ferry to Ganghwa Island.
You think we will be safe on Ganghwa Island?
Our hideout and mine were raided.
It is safe to assume it is the case on Ganghwa Island too.
You think the soldiers did not raid there because Gokdu runs the place?
Goodness. You are so clueless.
So what is your plan now?
Come on. Tell me your plan.
You said you wanted to rule Joseon...
and dethrone the king.
Now, how are you going to do that?
We lost our mine and connections.
- We lost everything. - Shut your mouth.
How are you going to do this now?
You lunatic. Do you have a death wish?
Get off me.
Fine. Kill me. Just finish me.
Go ahead. I think death will suit me better.
- Go ahead and kill me. - We ought to.
Kill Park Seung?
- The King? - The King?
Both.
You?
You are telling me that you will kill your own father?
Sure. It will be a piece of cake, will it not?
As if. You do everything your father tells you to.
Fine. Say that somehow, you manage to kill Park Seung.
How will you kill the King?
We do not have anything. Not even weapons.
Will you go into the palace with no weapons?
Say that you somehow get a chance to strangle the King or something.
But before that, you will have to know how the King looks.
Only then you will know what to do.
Lowlifes like us...
will never get a chance to see the face of the King.
We can.
And we can be right in front of him.
My money!
- What do we do? - I do not know!
My money!
Yes.
- This is the Joseon I remember. - I worked so hard to save that!
Oh, no.
Once these tears dry up,
your beautiful face will get very dry.
Here. I can see what is troubling you from the look on your face.
You worked together with the housing official...
to jack up the property prices.
So you lost your deposit.
Did you lose about 170 nyang?
Oh, no.
You came to Hanyang with everything you have...
from the countryside to turn your life around.
But people from Hanyang deceived you right under your nose.
(Gyeongari: People from the Capital)
And they must have broken your heart too.
That is right.
Those scoundrels.
They always seem to go after only innocent women.
- Who are you? - Who are you?
Me? Let me tell you a bit about myself.
I am here to rescue innocent people like you...
in the midst of the turbulent ocean called Hanyang.
I am Lawyer Choi Seung Yul.
You said you were conned by a man.
- Yes. - Yes.
You said you were conned by a woman.
Yes.
Those two...
are one.
- What? - What?
He is a master of disguise.
Sometimes he is a man.
Sometimes he is a woman.
Yes, this is her.
He changes his face and identity...
to defraud naive women like you.
He is a notorious man with a long criminal record.
This darn fool.
- He got me! - Darn him!
Gosh...
Yes. I knew you would tear them up.
- What should I do? - My money.
If doing that will make you feel better...
Now, now. Calm down.
Here.
You too.
Take this.
- I said my name is Seung Yul. - Yes.
Whatever case I take on, I win.
Most people who get conned in Hanyang...
come to me.
The people say that...
Seung Yul always wins.
Well,
I believe I will win yet again.
- Help me. - No, help me.
You need not worry about anything else.
Tonight, have some tea before going to sleep.
What is this?
Dried dandelion and atractylode roots.
- My goodness... - Brew and drink it as a hot tea,
and the anger and weight will dissipate,
your fever will go down, toxins will be expunged,
and you will get a good night's sleep.
- Thank you. - What a precious gift.
Oh, it is nothing at all.
It is a small token I give to all who consult me.
Then I wish you all a good night.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- How about... - No, please, stay seated.
- You are leaving already? - Stay a while.
Why do you not stay a little longer?
Goodbye.
Oh, gosh...
Look at that. It is so shiny.
Oh, how pretty. Goodness.
Brass-ware is special.
This is not at all like a countryside market.
- The items are more luxurious. - Yes.
There are many high officials,
and they supply the Palace too,
so there are a lot of nice things.
- Look around. - Wow!
- Welcome. - Look at the colors.
- They are so soft. - Hello.
How much is a roll of this?
Five nyang.
Oh. Five nyang?
That is worth 50 bowls of gukbap in Gaehwa Valley.
The prices here really are on the high end.
Then how much is an outfit made with this cloth?
It varies widely depending on the skill of the seamstress,
but if it is sold to a minister,
- it is worth about 15 nyang. - 15 nyang?
Okay, then. Thank you very much.
You have very few kinds of silks, do you not think?
Darn them.
The prices here are on the high side.
We will just look around here, and shop at Chilpae Market instead.
Stalls near Sungnyemun are owned by civilians.
The prices are cheaper there.
You can make two outfits with one roll of cloth.
I can earn a lot by making clothes.
He also said you can make more if the seamstress is skilled.
Which road in Hanyang is the busiest?
I can read fortunes there.
There is a place called Unjongga. It is up that way.
People gather there in huge crowds.
That is where you must be.
Right behind that road is Pimatgil.
When ministers travel,
people like us escape to that alley.
There are lots of stalls there...
with lots of good food and snacks.
Yes. That is where you should go.
- Yes. - That will do.
Gwang Soon. How do you know Hanyang so well?
Well...
My hometown is Gyeongsang Province,
but I came from Hanyang.
If you are from Gyeongsang Province, why did you come from Hanyang?
Well...
That is not important.
The fact that we are here is important.
Right.
Let us go to Unjongga. We can eat something nice...
Before that,
- we must find a home. - Okay.
- Ojang-dong, was it? - Yes, Ojang-dong.
Let us go to Ojang-dong, then.
- It is that way. - That way?
- Should we locate an agent first? - Yes.
You must be careful, though. This is Hanyang.
- Blink at the wrong time and... - You lose your nose!
- Gosh. Look at that. - At what? What is it?
I believe she will be worth more than silver,
especially to you.
What I need is silver,
so I can use it to bring back prisoners from Ming.
I do not need anything else.
Mom...
How can you sew in that state?
Do you feel like sewing after sending her off like that?
Ba Hwe went and talked, did he?
Do not just stand there. We have kids to feed.
We should go.
Do not overwork yourself.
You can rest today.
I will look after the kids.
I will not crumble over something like this.
I got a message from the inkstone seller in Hanyang.
The ship came into Sangae Port.
They arrived safely and are staying at a tavern.
She will send word once they settle down, so...
Forget it.
I may be her mother,
but all I will do is get her in trouble.
She will live if she stays alive.
Do not bother updating me.
Goodness.
I feel heartbroken, so how must she feel?
Why do you not go and visit her?
You should not turn your back!
The morning paper of July 8th in the Year of the Pig.
Hongmungwan's deputy compiler who returned...
from inspecting Chungcheong Province reported...
Park Tae Seo, Cha Mal Jong, Ji Maeng Soo, Kang Han Gi...
created a base in Soyang Village...
to illegally mine silver...
and even trade weapons.
Their ringleader Park Tae Seo is Park Seung's son from a concubine,
and Park Do Soo who murdered Hong Seok Gi...
is Park Seung's legitimate son.
My lord. The morning paper is here.
The darn king does nothing at all,
and yet every single morning...
they write and send out a paper which is so pointless.
I hereby submit a letter of credence...
that Park Seung is behind them.
I request that you track down all those involved...
and reveal the truth of what is going on.
- What... - And so...
the King replied, "I give permission."
"Park Seung, his son Park Do Soo,"
"and Park Tae Seo and his men are to be arrested."
What...
The King is out of his mind.
My lord!
Move.
Who says we can be arrested?
I am the Chief State Councillor. Who would dare demand that?
Your Majesty. Please dismiss Chief State Councillor Park Seung.
- Please dismiss him. - Please dismiss him.
Your Majesty. Please dismiss Chief State Councillor Park Seung.
- Please dismiss him. - Please dismiss him.
Your Majesty. Please dismiss Chief State Councillor Park Seung.
- Please dismiss him. - Please dismiss him.
Do those young folk not mind waking up so early?
Your Majesty. Please dismiss Chief State Councillor Park Seung.
The Chief State Councillor. Is he here yet?
Your Majesty. Please dismiss Chief State Councillor Park Seung.
- Please dismiss him. - Please dismiss him.
You fools. What are you doing this early in the morning?
Your Majesty. Please accept our plea.
- Please dismiss him. - Please dismiss him.
On what grounds?
On what grounds will you people push me out?
Dismissing people...
and then making up grounds retroactively...
is your practice, is it not?
You drove inspectors who were...
performing their duty to their death,
causing chaos...
and interfered with investigations.
A minister, who should set an example to others,
colluded with despicable criminals in the outer regions...
to embezzle government funds and taxes!
What?
I embezzled government funds and taxes?
How dare you say such things?
I am innocent.
Who colluded with officials from the regions? I?
That is correct.
My report to His Majesty regarding my trip...
includes many names of thieves.
Park Do Soo, Park Tae Seo,
Cha Mal Jong, Ji Maeng Soo, Hong Seok Gi, and so forth.
They bribed government officials in Chungcheong Province,
and endlessly exploited the subjects.
Every village they passed through was emptied out...
as if plundered by bandits.
Thus, there was not a person who did not wish to kill them.
What?
Moreover, Park Tae Seo, Cha Mal Jong, Ji Maeng Soo,
and Kang Han Gi had commerce groups in Chungcheong and Ganghwa Island.
They traded silver and gunpowder that they illegally mined.
Here comes His Majesty!
Deputy compiler, rise and continue.
Yes, Your Majesty.
One of the insurgents, Park Do Soo,
who is half-brothers with Park Tae Seo,
personally murdered Hong Seok Gi, chief clerk of maritime transport.
His crime is heinous.
Thus, please arrest the two of them and interrogate them.
Moreover, because we know that Park Do Soo and Park Tae Seo...
are Chief State Councillor Park Seung's sons,
Chief State Councillor Park Seung...
should be detained and investigated as a core player in this...
who supported these crimes from behind the scenes.
It is not true, Your Majesty.
There must have been a mistake.
How could you say that without any evidence?
Do you have proof that my son committed murder?
And you.
How will you prove that I was their sponsor?
What proof do you have that you say such terrible things?
Your Majesty, I shall...
I shall step down.
Not because my son Do Soo committed a crime,
but to take responsibility...
for my negligence as a minister.
Please be magnanimous.
His stepping down is insufficient.
Please order the Department of Justice to investigate...
and render a verdict!
Your Majesty, please grant me permission to investigate the case.
Please, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, we must investigate.
Please grant permission.
- Please grant permission. - Please grant permission.
Your Majesty.
Everyone involved...
shall be interrogated.
Your Majesty.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
This house costs 60 sacks of rice?
Isn't that too much?
I did hear that houses in Hanyang are insanely high,
and that it would be the same everywhere.
But it is a bit high.
There are mice.
So this is Hanyang.
Does the heater work well?
Of course.
Not only near the furnace, but the entire house.
Your buttocks may bake if anything.
You will not be cold in the winter.
But isn't the frame too worn out?
What are you talking about? It can withstand typhoons.
It blocks the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter.
And there is not a single bug.
A bug! My gosh.
We are going to look at a few more houses.
Show us some other places.
Do you know how many people are lined up for this house?
This house will probably be gone by tomorrow.
The outhouse is too close.
It will stink in the summer.
You know nothing.
Imagine how scary it will be to use the outhouse at night...
when it is only ladies living in the house.
It will be just the two of you, correct?
My younger sibling too.
There will be three of us living all together.
She had to go somewhere today...
and could not make it.
- I see. Three ladies. - But!
But...
We...
all have husbands.
Our husbands will come once we move in.
I have two younger brothers living in Hanyang too.
Anyway, will you take this house?
Well, it is 60 sacks of rice to rent this house.
But you do not seem very well off,
so I shall make an exception and give it to you...
for 55 sacks of rice.
When I looked around with other brokers,
about 40 sacks of rice was the norm.
We will take it for 35.
That is absurd. Do not be ridiculous.
Look. This is not Bucheon or Hoehyeon-dong.
Why is the rental price 60 sacks of rice?
Shall I speak with the owner of the house myself?
- A relay station is being built. - What?
Once that comes in, the price will skyrocket.
Forget it.
It is all about location. If you take ten steps outside,
there is a market, a tavern, and a well,
and the laundry spot is close.
How could this house go for any less?
Others would take out loans to buy this house.
You are utterly clueless.
Forget it.
Ask other brokers.
- But... - I have wasted my time.
It is he.
What? Why are you doing this? Let go.
What are you doing?
Did you not expect this when you conned people?
Who are you?
Me? I am...
here to punish you on behalf of the people you conned.
I am the king of the underworld.
Here is the paperwork. Take him to the agency.
- Take him away. - Wait. Stop.
You have the wrong person.
Let us speak in detail at the agency.
- Let us go. - It is not true. No.
No. Fine, I will go. I am going.
Seung Yul?
Seung Yul, is that you?
It is. Seung Yul!
Jo Yi?
Jo Yi!
Oh my gosh.
Have you been well?
Of course, I have.
I have missed you so much, Jo Yi.
Stop hugging me so hard.
Sorry. Are you okay?
You grew even taller.
You are so tiny.
Let go of me! Get your hands off me!
I am the Chief State Councilor of Joseon!
How dare you lock me up without any evidence?
Let go of me!
How dare you?
Arrest them right away.
You are to arrest four criminals.
Park Tae Seo, Cha Mal Jong,
Ji Maeng Soo, and Kang Han Gi.
What does it say?
- What? - What is going on?
(Ji Maeng Soo)
(Kang Han Gi)
- Over there. - That is a woman.
Goodness.
Hey, Yi Eon.
Oh, my. How long has it been?
I was so happy to hear that you came back alive!
Gosh. We had been waiting for the day of your return.
I did not know you cared this much about me. Thank you.
That brings me to my question.
Can you bring us chicken soup for tomorrow's lunch?
I cannot stop thinking about your chicken soup from last year.
Same here.
It is like I am some pregnant woman.
Will three sacks of rice and five sacks of beans do...
in exchange for it?
I told you I would only accept products...
such as buckwheat flour from Jeju, ginger from Wanju, or pheasants.
Of course, we want to.
But you arrested all the middlemen.
We cannot get any of the products from the black market.
On top of that, I cannot even face my wife with the pay cut.
That is why...
you can just have it.
However,
after you enjoy my food,
I want you to work hard for our country.
No funny business.
Goodness. He is so sharp-tongued.
"Funny business"? Seriously?
He is not wrong.
What do you do other than sit there and thinking about food?
What did you say, you jerk?
What about you then? You think about Myung Wol all day long.
What is this? Did you buy this for Myung Wol?
What? For Myung Wol? What are you talking about?
Then did you buy that for Yi Eon?
Yes. I bought this for Yi Eon!
I wanted to pay for the food with this. So what?
- You, dwarf! - What? Dwarf? You!
- I can pay him for the food too! - By the way...
Come on.
Yi Eon seems a bit different now. Does he not?
Give me that.
- Hey. - Why...
- Yi Eon. - Hey.
Yi Eon. Wait up.
Yi Eon. Here you go.
This is coming from all of us.
I hope you can continue to cook us delicious meals.
He got that just for you.
- Right? Did you not? - What?
I did?
I got that just for you.
I see. This?
Women in Hanyang must wait just to have a chance to buy these.
They are called the samjak norigae from the Arabian Peninsula.
Right? Are they not?
Yes, of course.
I do not need it.
What would a man need samjak norigae?
They come in patterns such as a pumpkin, a coral reef,
and a butterfly. This pattern is decorated in gold.
The gold butterfly is flying away.
I am sure there is a lady you fancy.
Gosh. There goes the gold butterfly.
Goodness.
I knew that life in Hanyang would be tough.
But I almost got conned by this fake realtor.
Goodness. What a mess.
I thought you have been through all the hardships life could offer.
But there are still more ways to complicate your life.
I know we just met, but you were very helpful. Thank you.
No need to thank me. Helping a woman is what a man ought to do.
By the way, how do you know Jo Yi?
- We grew up together. - We grew up together.
I see.
We were born in the same year back in our hometown.
And then Jo Yi betrayed me when she married a man in Gaehwa Valley.
Are you serious? You are still talking about that?
How can getting married be considered betraying you?
- Yes, you did betray me. - How?
You and your temper. What is a betrayal if not that?
Explain to me how I betrayed you!
Goodness.
Take it when your husband makes you furious.
My mother told me that...
future brides would only need calming herbs.
Are you worried? Or are you wishing me bad luck?
Of course, it is the latter. Why would I worry about you?
Come on. You are unbelievable.
Are you really going to marry him?
Ask me 1 more time. Then you would have asked me 100th time.
I do not like that guy.
You are way too good for that guy.
I have not even seen his face yet. Why are you throwing a fit?
You know that I have no choice. My father already arranged this.
This would have never happened if my mother was still around.
Exactly. Can you not go? Please?
Can you just stay here and spend time with me like we always do?
Who will make money?
Can we go to Hanyang and make money together there?
I will be a great lawyer soon.
And you can work as a seamstress since you love sewing.
Then we will be able to feed ourselves.
- I see. - Yes.
We will be old and unmarried.
So our future children will have such great lives.
I see. If we are old and unmarried,
how can we have any children?
If you really want that, I can think about...
- Get out. - Why are you so strong?
- Get out of here. - Okay. Stop it.
- Do not hit me. - Get out.
- I am really leaving. - Go.
No hitting.
So tell me. Do you make enough money to feed yourself?
You bet. I make money to feed 15 people.
Goodness, Jo Yi. Do you not know how great I am?
"Great"? As if.
Will this house do?
There are only two rooms,
but it is a clean house as it was recently built.
You can find a gukbap restaurant around the corner.
The vegetable and fabric shops are not that far from here.
This house is the best in the area.
Where am I?
What do you think? This is your new house.
You can put down a deposit or pay monthly rent.
But I recommend buying this house as well.
The price is reasonable.
So how do you know this house is available?
I move around often.
I found this house for myself.
Why do you move around a lot?
The property prices in Hanyang are always going up.
If I do not act fast, I will be regretting it.
This year's deposit would have been enough to buy a house last year.
Last year's deposit is enough to buy a house this year?
The other way around.
Wait. Why are the prices going up so much?
Children of rich high-ranking officials...
tend to buy all the houses in the Capital,
so they can control the real estate market here.
Basically, it is real estate speculation.
Really?
Is that even possible here?
Yes. You are in Hanyang.
I can talk to the house owner and settle the contract.
I can adjust the price to 30 sacks of rice.
It is a good deal, right?
Is that okay with you too?
Well, I am more than okay.
I feel bad that we are taking your deal.
Well, Jo Yi will pay me back somehow for this.
- Where is... - Gosh.
Do not expect to get anything from me.
This is nice. I love it.
Right. Can you buy yellow melons the next time you come back?
Because I helped you out once,
you must think I am your servant or something.
Jo Yi, you should go and buy him a drink.
I will clean the house.
Gosh. No. We do not follow such formalities.
No. I cannot allow this.
We ought to thank him somehow.
- Right. - Here.
- Go and have a drink. - Gosh.
It is all right. You must have a lot to do around the house.
Gosh. No. Go and eat something delicious.
Gosh, no. It is all right.
- Gosh. I can do this by myself. - I am all right.
- If you insist. - Okay.
- Then let me borrow her for a bit. - Thank you.
Let us go.
Come with me.
- Wait. Hey. - Go ahead.
[VIU Ver] tvN E10 'Secret Royal Inspector & Joy' "Oejibu" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android
- You are divorced? - Yes.
Why you...
You should have looked me up right away.
How could you forget about me and...
That is why you and I should have...
Right? Okay?
What are you saying?
What I am saying is...
Why did you not look for me, a talented lawyer?
I had too much on my mind to even think of finding you.
And fortunately...
I met someone nice and got it sorted out.
Even though there were a few obstacles.
"Someone nice"?
Yes. Someone very nice.
Well, however it was done, as long as you are divorced.
Well done, Kim Jo Yi.
Good for you, Kim Jo Yi.
Here.
Drink up.
You are a successful lawyer.
That is so cool.
Who said you could be this adorable?
How dare you use your dirty hands? I will kill you.
Oh, dear.
(Tavern)
Do you know him?
What?
Master Yi Eon?
What are you doing here at this hour?
Did you...
come to see me?
No.
Bi Ryeong. I came to see Bi Ryeong.
- Bi Ryeong? - Yes.
I have some urgent questions regarding the investigation.
Honestly.
I see. She went to check out Unjongga.
I will go and get her.
Wait.
What...
You need not.
Stay here.
Shall I, then?
When you see her later,
tell her I want to see her.
Do not worry. I will tell her.
So, have you eaten?
So, this is my childhood friend...
I am Choi Seung Yul.
And march!
I will introduce myself later.
As you can see, I am on my way to arrest criminals.
But...
Hello, sir.
Why did you interrupt him to say your name?
You were lying...
Hey, I am talking to...
We are off to arrest criminals.
You four, go that way. The rest, follow me.
- Go! - Yes, sir.
(Tavern)
Yes.
He is doing his job.
Report when you see them!
Report when you see these people!
Report when you see them!
Murderers?
As the King commanded,
arrest Park Do Soo.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Who are you fools?
What are you saying?
You are under arrest for murdering Chief Clerk Hong Seok Gi.
- Take him! - Yes, sir.
Let go.
You cannot keep me.
(Buddha)
Maeng Soo?
- Thank you for the food. - Goodbye.
He must be skinning an animal to make...
the leather to make his own boots.
Why is he not here yet? The ferry will leave soon.
Darn him.
Why is Tae Seo still at the temple?
I wish they arrive soon.
What if we miss the ferry?
(Distribution Log)
Oh, dear.
Darn it.
I cannot believe what I did to make sure...
I got these out of the darn mine.
Wait.
Can I trust Tae Seo's old man?
From the way he treats Tae Seo...
(Distribution Log)
Cha Mal Jong?
You... You are the dead inspector...
The dead inspector... How are you not dead?
- Do you want to know? - Yes.
I came back to get you.
Arrest him!
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
No!
- No! - Stay still.
- Let us go. - Please...
Get his shoes and evidence too.
Yes, sir.
- Get me a deerskin pair. - Yes, sir.
(Park Tae Seo, Cha Mal Jong, Ji Maeng Soo, Kang Han Gi)
(Ji Maeng Soo)
Here you go.
Goodbye.
Wait.
Shoot.
Darn it.
Oh, dear.
(Ji Maeng Soo)
Help me!
I found a criminal!
Help me!
I found a criminal!
Do you have a death wish?
Over here!
- Get him! - Yes, my lord!
What are you doing?
What? Maeng Soo.
Where are you taking us?
What about Tae Seo?
Do not mention him.
Where are you taking us?
- Shut it! - Okay.
(Cha Mal Jong, Ji Maeng Soo, Kang Han Gi)
- Gwang Soon, here. - Sure.
Here.
I think it is lower than my height.
It is exactly your height.
We will need two sets of blankets.
Since it will be three women, we should get a credenza.
We need to eat,
so we need a small table and three bowls and utensils.
Three sets.
Ladies!
Jo Yi!
My gosh. Bi Ryeong, did you buy clothes?
Are we going to just spend money while we are in Hanyang?
I read the storeowner's fortune and she gave me this for free.
- Really? - Yes.
- Good going. - Right?
Maybe we should open a fortune-telling booth here.
Should we?
Master Yi Eon was looking for you.
- For me? - Yes.
Go to Yuk Chil and Gu Pal later.
Will do.
Tell me if you need anything.
I want to go before the market closes.
- I want a stationery chest... - A stationery chest.
- A lantern. - A lantern.
- What else is there? - Well...
This house is nice, but since we are on a road,
people can see in.
We should get a bamboo screen.
Yes, a bamboo screen.
- Get that too. - Yes.
- A bamboo... - Yes.
Hold on. But our budget...
We have had 48 bowls of gukbap,
7 pieces of rice cakes,
at 14 poon each...
So... Oh no. I do not think we can afford that.
I have an idea.
This and this, and finally, this.
We can connect fabric instead of a bamboo screen.
Like this?
- Do you need help? - No, I almost have it.
Gwang Soon.
All done.
They are the seeds of trumpet creepers.
I will root for you,
so you will never have to bend your will...
(Ra Gwang Soon, Kim Jo Yi, Hwang Bi Ryeong)
What?
No! My aconite!
Hey.
Why are you screaming so loudly?
I almost went deaf.
Where is it?
Where did it go? Where is it?
Wait.
No! My aconite!
Where is it?
What?
The aconite flower that was here.
Aconite flower?
My flower that I picked from the aconite field...
and dried nicely!
That is what I am looking for.
Exactly. The flower that you brought,
which I stole to give to Gwang Soon.
That is missing.
What?
You took it back, right?
- You stole it back, you jerk! - I did not steal it.
Hold on.
You stole the aconite flower that I brought,
and you are asking me if I stole it back?
That does not matter.
Gwang Soon likes the color purple,
so I stole it while you were pooping and you stole it back!
Was that how I raised you?
You should not live like that.
Was that how I raised you?
What will you grow up to be?
I did not steal it!
I did not poop for that long...
Excuse me.
Is anyone home?
Of course, there is.
Why that little...
Wow.
It really is the largest house in the neighborhood.
You can tell what the homeowner is like.
Look how spotless and perfectly aligned they are.
My gosh. Look who's here.
Here.
Rice cakes?
We moved.
We found a place to live for the time being.
What? Already? How?
It is by Ojang-dong.
We will invite you over once we are settled in.
Bring Master Yi Eon.
How did you find a house already?
It is not that easy to find a house in Hanyang.
It truly was difficult.
We found one quickly thanks to Jo Yi's friend.
Friend? You have a friend in Hanyang?
Yes, a childhood friend...
is a lawyer in Hanyang.
A lawyer? Is it...
- A man? - Yes, a male friend.
I see.
As Master Yi Eon not returned yet?
What time does he usually come?
I know. He is usually home by this hour.
Did something happen to him?
That is how Hanyang is.
Since it is where the king lives,
there is heightened security and...
- That way! - Yes, my lord!
Did a war break out?
Quick. Find out.
Lower your stance.
- Gosh. - Gu Pal!
Why won't goblins take him away?
- That way! - Lower.
- Search it! - Get low.
- Gu Pal! - Yes.
No. I'm sure even goblins don't want poop on their hands.
- We are fine. - Get low.
Stop it!
Get low!
Is it the enemy again? Are they foreigners?
Gu Pal! Find out!
Sure.
Gu Pal!

Park Tae Seo is the key.
We have brought in almost everyone else involved,
but we do not see him anywhere.
Whereas Park Seung and Park Tae Seo were helping each other,
there seems to be tension now.
Their statements may differ during interrogations,
and Park Tae Seo will not speak readily.
It will be difficult for His Majesty to interrogate Park Seung too.
We must have as much evidence as possible in order to win.
Thus...
This is aconite.
People think it is medicinal, but...
It can be poisonous too.
Correct.
And it is banned from harvesting...
or utilizing this herb without the royal permission.
Park Tae Seo, the illegitimate son of Park Seung,
was the one who secretly harvested aconite in large quantities.
What...
are you implying right now?
Are you saying...
that Park Seung and Park Tae Seo had...
something to do with the Crown Prince's death?
You cannot make such an accusation.
Chief State Councilor Park Seung was in charge of putting together...
a temporary pharmacy to treat the Crown Prince.
What is this?
I have a boil on my back.
Is this absolutely necessary?
It will go away on its own with some time.
Thanks to somebody, my palate is used to...
gourmet food.
So I loathe drinking awful tonics like this.
The boil is not a serious condition.
But sometimes, boils with deep roots can turn into suppurating wounds.
So please do not take it lightly.
Perhaps, it might be because I have not been here for long.
But I do not believe I have met this physical before.
I am in charge of His Highness' boils at the new pharmacy.
The Chief State Councilor set up a pharmacy just for my boil.
Life at the palace can be quite bothersome.
- Give me that. - Yes, Your Highness.
A pharmacy was set up.
And there was a new physician in charge of his boils.
He has suddenly prescribed much more aconite,
and they added more aconite in his tonics.
I do not believe this was just a coincidence.
I am sure of it.
The physician...
I met that day...
must have been a fake.
It is my regret that I failed to see his face...
because of the face cover.
I am certain...
he was not the real physician for the Crown Prince's boils.
Deputy Compiler. I know that you are very smart.
I promise to come back...
with evidence to prove my claim about the physician...
before you have to interrogate him.
I already have people urgently collecting information.
Trust me, and give me some time.
I will arrest...
Park Seung and Park Tae Seo this time.
(No animals were harmed during the filming.)

(Special appearance by Jo Kwan Woo, Lee Jun Hyuk, and Cha Hak Yeon)
(Secret Royal Inspector & Joy)
The name of the seamstress is Jo Yi.
There's none other like her in Joseon.
The physician is still alive?
Nothing must scare you. How dare you make a mockery of me?
Why do you have this?
A way to see the King face-to-face.
I will help you hold onto your throne.
It means my mother might get arrested soon.
I am trying to stay alive too.
So you will live as Turukson?
Where is it? Where did you hide it?
