When I...
ran to the first meeting point,
Sir Park Tae Soo...
was there alone.
He was stabbed on his stomach.
It was...
a fatal injury.
I tried my best to save his life,
but all I could do...
was...
trying to stop the bleeding.
Your Majesty. Lord Yoon and Jung Nan Jung...
are asking to have an audience.
- Let them in. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Have a seat.
Did he say anything to you before he took his last breath?
He said...
that everything happened...
because of Lord Yoon Won Hyung's conspiracy.
You witch!
That is absolutely ridiculous.
My conspiracy? What kind of conspiracy did I plot?
Your Majesty, please do not believe her.
Be quiet!
Your Majesty.
Please don't listen to that clueless lowborn girl.
I told you to be quiet!
Go on.
He told me that the chasm between him...
and Lord Yoon Won Hyung go back a long time.
That is why...
Lord Yoon gave an order to one of the spies...
who were working with me...
to kill Sir Park Tae Soo.
You should've used the power I let you have...
for the King and the people.
Why did you...
commit such evil deed?
Why did you disobey me?
That's not true, Your Majesty.
You must have a death wish, you witch.
How dare you tell a lie to Her Majesty?
Your Majesty, that's not true.
I have never ordered them to kill him.
Your Majesty,
how can you...
trust this lowborn's words more than Lord Yoon's?
This treacherous witch is laying the blame...
on Lord Yoon to save herself.
You're also well aware that...
Park Tae Soo plotted treason.
Park Tae Soo...
would've betrayed you someday if he stayed alive.
But he's been killed by that wench's mistake.
The possible trouble is removed now.
It means nothing other than that.
Your Majesty,
please believe me.
Leave.
Your Majesty!
I said leave!
You shouldn't have left like this.
Then, what should I have done?
You also saw that she was refusing to hear me out.
Still, you have to beg her.
You don't know her at all.
If I keep begging,
that will make her even angrier.
You're really frustrating.
If you're going to die anyway,
you should beg her in tears.
Then,
why did you admit...
that your fault led to Park Tae Soo's death?
I was told to say so...
for political reasons...
to spare my life.
I believe...
that you're telling me the truth.
Your Majesty.
If there is anything you want,
let me know.
You believed me.
I have nothing else to wish for.
However,
right before...
Sir Park Tae Soo passed away,
he...
told me...
to retire from working as a spy.
Please...
help me...
so that I can go back to Jeonokseo...
and work as a warden there.
What brings you here?
I heard that Treasurer Ji from Jeonokseo and...
a guy named Chun Doong are locked up in the Police Bureau.
Release them immediately.
What are you talking about?
They helped a criminal on the run.
You also know that harbouring criminals is a felony.
As the criminal cleared her name,
you can no longer hold them accountable.
The criminal cleared her name?
Does it mean Ok Nyeo cleared her name?
Her Majesty...
granted Ok Nyeo a pardon.
- Sir! - Goodness.
- Ok Nyeo. Ok Nyeo. - Sir.
Are you all right?
Didn't you get hurt?
I'm okay. What about you?
- You've been through a hard time. - No.
I'm fine.
You know Yang Dong Gu at the Police Bureau.
I thought he was nothing but a mean money-grubber.
But he's pretty loyal.
It was not that bad thanks to Dong Gu.
Anyway, what happened to you?
Can you walk around like this?
Yes. Don't worry about me.
I've cleared myself of all the false charges.
Really?
That's really good news.
I am relieved to hear that.
While I was locked up, I was worried about you...
all the time.
I am really sorry for making you worry.
Don't mention it.
As long as you cleared all the false charges,
I am happy for you.
I am. That's enough for me.
That's enough.
Sir.
Tae Won! Tae Won!
Tae Won!
I'm back!
Hello, Chun Doong.
You're released earlier than I'd expected.
Did you know I'd be released?
Of course. I told you to just wait for a while there.
So was it you who helped us get out?
No, it wasn't me.
Ok Nyeo saved you.
Ok Nyeo? How did she do that?
Is she all right?
Yes, she is. Don't worry about her.
- Hey, please move that to there. - Okay.
Anyway, has Ok Nyeo's real identity been revealed?
The Capital District Office and the Police Bureau...
were in chaos, chasing after her.
Why did they want to arrest her?
Why was she locked up in the underground cell in Jeonokseo?
Gosh, you're talkative.
Stop asking me because I don't know either.
Gosh, Chun Doong.
It's good to see you again.
Goodness.
What are you doing? Are you not going in?
If the chief sees me, he'll kill me.
I haven't come to Jeonokseo for three days.
You'll be fine. Let's go in.
What do you mean I'll be fine?
Don't you know how the chief is like?
If you believe me and go in with me, you'll be all right.
I do believe you,
but not the chief.
Let's go in.
Sir, you're going to be fine.
- Hello. - Hello.
What happened to you?
You haven't come here for three days without a notice.
What's wrong with you?
And you, Ok Nyeo...
Ok Nyeo.
You had been dispatched to the temporary palace in Onyang.
Why did you end up at the Capital District Office?
And why were your composite sketches...
attached to every corner of the town?
Ok Nyeo,
you'd never know how worried I was because of you.
I am sorry.
Okay. Let's talk about it later.
Go visit the chief now.
- Yes, Sir. - Go right away.
I'll see you soon.
Seriously!
- Hurry. - Chun Deuk,
you're driving me crazy!
- Stop it and let's get going. - Gosh!
Sir...
You little...
My goodness.
I apologise for making you worry.
I have so many questions to ask,
and I want to know what happened to you,
but I won't ask.
I just want you to stay here as a warden...
and do your job. Okay?
Yes, Sir.
And you!
Yes. Yes... Sir.
I've been away for a few days without a notice...
- because... - Stop it!
Be quiet. Don't say a word.
I want to knock you flat,
but I won't ask anything to you.
But you'd better mark my words.
If you don't show up like this ever again,
you'll be as good as dead.
I'll make sure you get aggravated punishment.
You'll get aggravated punishment!
You know what it is, don't you?
I do, Sir. I understood.
Leave.
Get out.
- Yes, Sir. - Get out now. Hurry.
I'm sick of you!
Gosh.
What...
What's wrong with him?
Did that birdbrain...
already forget everything?
You don't have to worry, Sir.
Just think that you're lucky.
Well...
Birdbrain, birdbrain.
The chief is birdbrain.
- Let's get going. - Okay.
Gosh.
When Ok Nyeo and Treasurer Ji come back to Jeonokseo,
never ask them...
what they've been through.
What?
Never ask them about anything? That's ridiculous.
I've also suffered a lot because of Ok Nyeo.
This is a special command from Her Majesty.
Oh, I see.
I know that you informed Lord Yoon...
about Ok Nyeo's whereabouts.
Well, that is just...
That means...
you disobeyed Her Majesty...
and should be punished harshly.
However,
I won't hold you accountable for that for a while.
The officer Ki Choon Soo got Ok Nyeo's back.
And Her Majesty is behind Ki Choon Soo.
That can possibly mean...
that Her Majesty is helping Ok Nyeo.
Ok Nyeo,
Ki Choon Soo...
and Her Majesty.
Ok Nyeo, Ki Choon Soo...
and Her Majesty.
Jung Dae Shik.
Her Majesty...
- Oh, you made it! - Yes, it's good to see you.
Everyone is here.
Oh, my. Look at all this food.
It's a feast! These dishes look fancier...
than even the royal dishes the King sent us once.
All of you have provided Ok Nyeo and me...
with tremendous help and support,
so we prepared these dishes to show you our gratitude.
We have more than enough wine,
so please help yourself.
- Thank you! - The food looks amazing.
You should say a few words, too.
No, it's okay.
Hey, don't say that.
Are you really not going to tell us about what happened?
Tell us. Please tell us now.
Okay, all right.
Well...
I was wrongly accused due to a misunderstanding.
I know that all of you were very worried about me.
With all the misunderstanding being cleared,
I've been cleared of the false charge as well.
Nothing like that will ever happen again.
Great! That is amazing news.
Ok Nyeo, we missed you so much.
Without you around, Jeonokseo felt so depressing.
It became incredibly lacklustre.
But now that you're back,
it feels like a totally different place.
- Don't you agree, Officer Lee? - Yes, totally.
Ok Nyeo. Please stay at Jeonokseo...
for a long, long time, okay?
- Yes, Sir. - Let's eat now.
Have a seat, everyone.
- Yes, let's eat. - Come and have a seat.
- Let's sit down and eat. - Let's enjoy this feast!
- Right away, Sir. - Let me pour you a drink.
You should pour Officer Lee a drink.
Hey, hurry up!
We need more wine here.
- Let me fill up your glass first. - All right.
Ok Nyeo, let me pour you a drink.
Sure, Sir.
Hey! Hurry up and bring more wine!
Eat up, everyone. Let's thoroughly enjoy tonight.
Ok Nyeo!
Did everything go well at Jeonokseo?
Yes.
Gosh, you went through that disaster...
but were able to get everything erased.
Power can do so much, it seems.
So does that mean...
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager has your back now?
You should put in good word for me.
Gosh, Sir. That's not the case at all.
I was just kidding, you silly.
Goodness.
Well, thank you very much for all of your help.
I'll be sure to repay your kindness.
Hey.
You're making it sound like I helped you expecting something in return.
I hope you know that wasn't the case.
- Not at all. - Don't make me sad.
That's not what I meant at all.
You don't have to repay me for anything.
The head merchant of my organisation is locked up in Jeonokseo now.
Just take good care of him for me.
Of course, I will.
By the way,
are you going to keep working as a warden there?
You told me this when we were going to Yanjing.
You said that you want to learn to become a merchant.
We have to continue doing trade with Ming.
So if you'd like,
we can hire you as our interpreter.
I'll just stay at Jeonokseo.
Frankly, living as a warden at Jeonokseo...
used to frustrate me.
But I think it'll actually make me feel more at peace.
Okay, if you say so.
But don't hesitate to let me know if you change your mind.
Okay, thank you.
I actually have a favour to ask you.
What is it?
I'd like to visit the lady in Anguk-dong.
I really want to thank her in person.
Of course.
The news about you being caught must've really shocked her.
You should visit her and tell her what happened.
It's getting late. You should go now.
Okay. Good night.
Get home safely.
You, too.
- Rock, paper, scissors! - Rock, paper, scissors!
Master, please!
We must take this prisoner...
as per Her Majesty's order.
I believe that you're telling me the truth.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Ki Choon Soo is here.
- Let him in. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Did you want to see me, Your Majesty?
Go to Yoon Won Hyung immediately...
and tell him that he is removed from all of his posts as of now.
I beg your pardon?
I've never seen my sister that livid.
We need to gain her trust again.
Do you have any ideas?
Her Majesty is enraged now...
because she still has feelings for that fellow, Park Tae Soo.
There is nothing we can do now.
We'll just have to be patient...
and wait until her anger subsides.
Lord Yoon.
Lord Yoon!
Lord Yoon.
The palace guard officer, Ki Choon Soo, is here to see you.
Ki Choon Soo?
Why does he want to see me?
He wants you to come out...
and receive the Queen Dowager's order.
He's here to deliver the Queen Dowager's order?
What brings you here?
I am here to deliver Her Majesty's order to you.
What is the order?
With His Majesty's permission,
Her Majesty the Queen Dowager...
is removing you...
from all of your posts in the government.
I am being dismissed from all of my positions?
That is correct, Lord Yoon.
We will take him in.
- Tie him up! - Yes, Sir!
How dare you!
Have you forgotten who he is?
Leave our property immediately!
I apologise.
Why are you just standing there? Tie him up now!
- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!
Let go of me!
- Take him. - Yes, Sir!
Let go. Let go of me!
My lord.
- My lord! - I said, let go!
My lord!
Oh, hello.
Hello!
Oh, who are you?
I'm the new chief, Song Seok Woo.
Yes, it's you. I heard that you'd be transferred here soon.
I also heard through the grapevine that you're from a powerful family.
No, my family isn't that special.
My maternal uncle is the commissioner of the Police.
Sir Song Jae Il at the Research Board is one of my paternal uncles.
Another uncle of mine is the chief inspector,
Sir Song Ji Man.
You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.
If your family isn't special, someone like me...
who has no connections should just die.
Dear me. That young chief administrative officer...
will become Lord Yoon Won Hyung's son-in-law.
And this newcomer is from a ridiculously privileged family.
Why am I so unlucky?
You don't need to worry...
about that officer any more.
What do you mean by that?
Let me tell you some news.
What?
- Are you serious? - Yes.
Oh, it's a secret though. Hush.
Keep it to yourself.
Of course. Don't worry about it.
Sir, what brings you here?
I heard the rumour about Lord Yoon being dismissed from his posts.
Is it true?
Well, it's...
I am asking you if the rumour is true.
Yes, it is.
What is the reason?
I don't really know.
Where is Lord Yoon now?
The palace guards took him.
- Officer Lee. - Yes, Sir.
Put an additional desk in my office.
Who is it for?
Ok Nyeo.
Pardon me?
Ok Nyeo, you'll be assisting me from now on.
- Me? - Yes.
You don't need to worry about...
looking after the prisoners any more.
Well, but... Sir.
I know that Ok Nyeo is a bright girl,
but she is still just a warden.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
Do I have to explain that to you?
Just do as you're told.
Do as I say. What did I say?
- Do as you say. - Right.
Ok Nyeo, get a new outfit.
Pardon?
I won't have my secretary wear a warden's uniform.
Officer Lee.
Get Ok Nyeo an outfit that would suit my assistant.
Do you understand?
Yes, Sir.
Let's go.
There you are. Have a seat.
- Thank you. - Good.
Sit.
You know,
I don't have connections.
To be very honest,
I'm not smart enough to go very far.
I only managed to become Chief of Jeonokseo...
because I'm great at sniffing out who will come to power.
You have an officer of the Palace Guards has your back,
and I know that...
he is very loyal to Her Majesty.
I'd like you...
to help me out.
Sir.
What could I possibly do to help you?
I have no such influence.
We'll see about that.
Just don't betray me.
From now on, you're in charge of our finances.
You can manage mine, too.
Pardon?
Everyone knows that you're smart, knowledgeable,
and you know how Jeonokseo works.
You know who to poke to make them pay extra.
But...
I can't end my career as Chief of Jeonokseo.
If I'm to get transferred,
I need money.
Do you know what I mean?
Sir.
Increase my assets...
and I will do anything you want.
Sir.
You should come outside.
- Is something wrong? - Lord Yoon is here.
What?
- Oh dear. - She got out?
You fool.
My lord.
What's wrong with you?
What a fool.
What for?
What is he doing here?
He's not here to visit.
He's here as a prisoner.
What do you mean?
Sir, I think you should go and check.
I should. Let's go.
- Where is he? - Over there.
Let's go. Hurry.
Oh dear.
My goodness.
My lord.
What happened?
- Let's have a word. - Me?
What...
Why are you all tied up?
What?
Why should he be imprisoned here?
Nobles are sent to...
the Capital District Office or the Department of Justice.
Do you think I don't know that?
Here's Her Majesty's order.
Right.
"While Yoon Won Hyung is imprisoned in Jeonokseo,"
"he is not to get any form of privileges"...
"or special treatment."
"Treat him like any common criminal."
"If you disobey,"
"you will be severely punished."
But...
But this doesn't make sense.
You know who Lord Yoon is.
He's the most powerful man in Joseon.
Even a dog would know that.
I can't treat him like a criminal.
He might hold it against me and make me pay.
You will not...
suffer any consequences.
Don't worry.
From now on,
you must never see him in person.
There is one final instruction. Yoon Won Hyung...
is not allowed any visitors...
or extra food or snacks.
Remember that.
Sir, you know who he is.
We can't treat him like we do the others.
I will take full responsibility. Do as I say.
Treasurer Ji.
Yes, Sir.
The prisoners can't find out that...
Lord Yoon is here.
Watch your tongue.
Yes, Sir.
Let me remind you.
Whoever he is or was,
he isn't allowed any privileges.
Remember that.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Let go of me!
Walk faster.
- This way. - Keep walking!
- Come on. - Please, Sir.
Get going.
Come along.
Keep walking!
- Where are you going? - Have a look.
It says you.
- Bring him over. - Hey.
Where's the chief?
Get him.
Shut your mouth and follow me.
What?
How dare you talk to me like that?
Do you know who I am?
I do, which is why I'm being nice.
Any other criminal would've gotten a beating.
Do you get that?
- You... - Don't just stand there. Walk.
Yes, Sir.
- This is unbelievable. - My gosh.
- It's this cell. - Yes, Sir.
Going in!
Go in.
Wait.
Do I have to share a cell with common criminals?
Send me to solitary confinement.
Are you trying to get yourself beaten up?
Get in there already.
Get me a stick!
Yes, Sir.
Wait. You.
- Get me your chief. - Not again.
Come back!
Get me your chief!
How dare you. Come back!
- Hey! - Hey, you!
Be quiet, will you?
You fool!
Watch your manners! Do you know who I am?
"You fool"?
What a jerk.
So,
who are you?
Let's hear how great a man you are.
What?
This is unbelievable.
Don't you know who I am?
I'm...
You're what?
Go on.
- Go on. - Jak Doo.
That's enough.
You look like a nobleman,
but here,
you don't get treated according to your status.
I don't like...
loud noises.
Keep quiet.
You.
Sit over in a corner.
I can't end my career as Chief of Jeonokseo.
If I'm to get transferred,
I need money.
Do you know what I mean?
Sir.
Increase my assets...
and I will do anything you want.
Ok Nyeo.
Guess what I just did.
I put Yoon Won Hyung...
in Gong Jae Myung's cell out of spite, on purpose.
They don't know what he looks like,
so they'll give him a hard time.
When the bandits kidnapped you...
thinking you were his daughter,
he didn't think twice about you.
I finally got to make him pay for that.
- Sir. - What?
Can you tell me...
if we have any rich merchants or nobles in our cells?
What for?
I need to know.
Rich nobles?
- He's over there. - There?
That man over there.
That's Lee Myung Woo...
from Cell Three.
Of all the prisoners in Jeonokseo, he must be the richest.
He owns a paper store in Chilpae Market,
and I heard it's unbelievably large.
Sir.
You're exercising again. Can we have a word?
Our chief and Officer Lee...
treat him like a king.
Look.
Enjoy your meal.
- Thank you. - Sure.
I'll pour you one.
Thank you for your efforts.
Thank you.
Ok Nyeo.
Hello.
You're back.
- How are you? - You little...
You brat.
We barely slept, we were so worried about you.
Sorry.
What on earth happened?
I'll explain everything when I get the chance to.
Right now, I need to discuss something with you.
Can we go inside?
What?
What should I do?
I thought your chief was a fool,
but he offered a clever deal.
There's no need to hesitate.
If you use him,
it will benefit everyone.
He's right.
If you help Jung Dae Shik make money...
and use one tenth of the money wisely,
all the prisoners in Jeonokseo will find here more comfortable.
You can also fully feed them well.
What brought you here? Why didn't you come in?
- I need to talk to you. - About what?
Lord Yoon is in Jeonokseo now.
Why is he there?
He's locked up as a prisoner.
What?
I heard that he's been dismissed from his position.
You said the head merchant of your organisation...
is locked up in Jeonokseo...
because of Jung Nan Jung, right?
Yes.
Then, this is the best chance to get back at Jung Nan Jung.
Why don't you make a deal with me?
A deal?
Did you find it?
Yes.
I have to make an important deal now. Please bring me 1,000 yang.
1,000... 1,000 yang?
No matter how important the deal is,
you need the head merchant's approval to get that big money.
Gosh, do you think I don't know that?
I'm asking you because he's not here now.
I'll take all the responsibilities. Please give me money.
No way. I can't do that without the head merchant's approval.
She's so uptight just like her uncle.
You won't be able to get money from that jobsworth.
There's no other way...
than getting the approval from the head merchant.
Do Chi, please arrange my visit to the head merchant.
Okay.
My goodness.
Are you okay?
Ma'am.
What will happen, then?
What are you talking about?
Lord Yoon has been dismissed and imprisoned.
Wouldn't his family collapse?
Gosh, that's nonsense.
I don't know why he's locked up,
but his sister is the Queen Dowager,
and his nephew is the King.
His family will never go down.
That is why it's even more serious.
What would be his charge?
Hey,
stop giving me headache and get back to work.
You know what's going on these days.
If you don't want to get in trouble,
you'd better behave.
What will happen to my father?
What he did wrong is...
getting on Her Majesty's nerves.
We will have to wait...
until her anger subsides.
It's me.
Come in.
Did you find out where Father is?
He is imprisoned in Jeonokseo now.
In Jeonokseo?
Isn't it full of lowborn and petty criminals?
How could he be locked up in Jeonokseo?
I'm sure Her Majesty decided to humiliate him.
I'll go visit him myself.
Please ask them if I can visit him.
I already asked them.
But it doesn't seem easy.
Even visiting isn't allowed?
There's no way to contact him.
They said he can neither meet the visitors...
nor receive food from outside Jeonokseo.
He loves eating food.
And he can't even eat well in there?
It's time for lunch!
What are you doing? Pass your bowl.
Are you not going to eat? You have your bowl there!
Is this what you're talking about?
Yes!
You brat!
This is not for human!
Hey!
I guess you're not hungry enough.
Be grateful for having something to eat.
Anyway,
why are you not eating anything?
Don't worry about us.
Is that pigwash or something?
Just eat your fill.
Head Merchant Gong Jae Myung, I brought food from outside.
There he is.
Gosh.
- Sir. - What?
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
Good. Take it.
Well... Ta-da.
Take it.
Wow.
It looks good.
Wow, they sent a lot.
It seemed like you lost your appetite,
I ordered Sosoru to prepare special food for you.
- Sosoru? - Yes, Sir.
Gosh, you didn't have to do that.
- Then, let's eat. - Yes, Sir.
Sir, try this one first.
Okay.
Gosh.
Hey.
You've become our inmate.
Why don't you join us?
No thanks.
Okay.
You don't want to hurt your pride as a nobleman, do you?
If you don't eat, it's only your loss.
Just come and eat when you can.
Goodness.
You order food from Sosoru.
I'm sure you're pretty powerful.
Power doesn't come from anywhere else...
but money.
I can tell you must be rich by the way you look.
Don't you have anyone who'll send you private goods?
It just happened.
Eat up.
As we'll share the same cell from today,
let's introduce ourselves to each other.
I'm Gong Jae Myung.
I'm Jak Doo.
I want you...
to keep this to yourselves.
I am...
Yoon Won Hyung.
What?
What did you just say?
My name is...
Yoon Won Hyung.
Darn it!
You brat.
I fed you...
because you looked pathetic.
You're Yoon Won Hyung? Stop talking nonsense!
Wait. I am Yoon Won Hyung.
I said stop it!
It's true. I am really Yoon Won Hyung.
You jerk. You should've chosen other name.
How dare you use his name?
You can't steal Lord Yoon's name.
Wait! I am really Yoon Won Hyung.
Stop that nonsense, you jerk.
It's me!
I think he's a lunatic.
Please just take your mind off him and enjoy the food.
What are you doing? Drag him to the corner.
Wait. Hey! Hey!
I am Yoon Won Hyung!
There's a visitor for Gong Jae Myung!
You're lucky today.
Take care, Sir.
Oh, Sir!
Sir.
Hello, Sir.
Why are you here?
What do you mean?
Of course we came here to see you.
Aren't you hungry?
- Please. - Calm down.
Yes, Sir.
Something really ridiculous just happened.
What is it?
A nobleman just came in to the cell I am in.
And he claims that he is Yoon Won Hyung.
He looks fine. But I think he's gone crazy.
He is Lord Yoon.
What? What are you talking about?
Why would he be in here?
I don't know exactly what happened to him.
But I am sure that he is Lord Yoon.
My goodness. This is crazy.
What have I just done to him?
Why? Did something happen?
I thought he was talking nonsense. So I beat him.
Really? Why did you do that to him?
Who would believe the guy who claims that he's Yoon Won Hyung?
Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
Just forget about it. You didn't know it was him.
Anyway, I came to discuss something with you.
- What is it? - The reason you're suffering...
in Jeonokseo is Jung Nan Jung. She set you up.
I know that, too.
I heard that Officer Sung...
will become Yoon Won Hyung's son-in-law, right?
That's right, Sir.
Lord Yoon is driven into a corner now.
This is the perfect opportunity...
to make them suffer for what she did to you.
Do you have a good idea?
Oh, Ok Nyeo.
I will accept your offer.
Great! You made a wise decision.
But before that,
you need to do something for me.
What is it? Tell me.
Do you know a prisoner named Lee Myung Woo...
in Male Cell Three in the east wing?
Of course I do. He's the one who owns...
the paper store at Chilpae Market.
I think his shop is the biggest paper store in Joseon.
Yes, it's him.
If you can help me get him out of Jeonokseo,
I can make you earn a big amount of money.
What?
I can't do that.
Jung Nan Jung is the one who got him locked up here.
The Police Bureau and the Ministry of Law Enforcement are watching him.
I could lose my life...
for getting him out of here.
I'm not asking you to release him for good.
I know how we can get him out of here.
Tell me, then.
The former chief used to use this method.
We can let him out during the day,
and he'll come back to Jeonokseo at night.
Officers and inspectors from those authorities...
only do their random inspections...
at night,
so there won't be any problems.
Here. Have a look at this.
According to these records, all of the random inspections...
done by the Police Bureau and the Minister of Law Enforcement...
in the last three years...
were carried out between 9pm and 3am.
All of them were done at night.
My goodness.
That's an incredible idea.
Lee Myung Woo?
If we can do business with his organisation,
we'll be able to get Jung Nan Jung in deep trouble...
and make her deal with huge losses.
Hey, are you kidding me right now?
Jung Nan Jung won't just sit there and watch that happen.
We'll offer him something we won't be able to refuse.
If you're certain that you can pull it off,
give it a try.
Tell Eun Soo...
to give him all the money he needs.
Yes, Sir.
There she is. Ok Nyeo, how did it go?
It's done.
Great. Thank you.
I sincerely apologise for not recognising you.
Please forgive me.
What are you doing now?
You idiots.
This is Lord Yoon Won Hyung.
Pay your respects. Hurry up!
- Pardon me? - Come on!
My goodness! Gosh, Lord... Lord...
Lord Yoon Won Hyung! Please forgive me.
- Goodness gracious. - I'm so sorry.
This is truly embarrassing.
Did you say that you're Gong Jae Myung?
Yes, my lord.
If I could have my way,
I'd love to slit your throat right now.
But you just didn't know, so I'll forgive you this once.
I'll be watching you closely, so you better behave yourself.
I will serve you with all of my heart and loyalty.
I sincerely apologise for not recognising you.
You idiot. I could teach you a serious lesson.
Tae Won, you're here.
Yes. Why did you want to see me?
Is it true that Lord Yoon has been...
dismissed from his posts and is at Jeonokseo now?
How did you know?
All of my customers are talking about it.
What did he do?
I don't know, either.
How do you feel about it?
For a very long time,
I've been dreaming of watching him suffer like this.
But now that it's actually happening,
I feel pretty awful about it.
By any chance,
have you heard of a kisaeng named Hwang Jin Yi?
I used to dream...
of becoming a kisaeng like her.
But I've realised that it's not something I can achieve.
Why do you think that?
She made Monk Jijok, who was known...
as the Living Buddha, renounce Buddhism.
Respected scholars also fell under the spell of her charms.
I'm trying so hard to seduce you, but you're not even budging.
You've actually been trying to seduce me?
Yes, of course.
I've been trying to win your heart since the moment I first met you.
My goodness.
I'm just slow at these things. Please don't get the wrong idea.
Seducing me...
is so easy.
You can just poke me on the side,
and I'll be all yours.
Then shall I try that?
No.
Today is not the day.
Tonight, I have to drink and celebrate, thinking about...
this man locked up in Jeonokseo.
There you are.
You may leave now, but you have to make sure...
to come back before the sun goes down.
Yes, Sir. Please do not worry.
- See him out. - Yes, Sir.
Please come with me.
Sure.
Thank you.
I'm not the one whom you should be thanking.
Then whom should I thank?
A man named Yoon Tae Won will visit you.
He will propose a deal,
so think about it and make a wise decision.
Yoon Tae Won?
Well, then. Make sure to be back on time.
Please have a seat here.
I'm the head merchant of Sir Gong Jae Myung's organisation.
I heard that you'd be proposing a deal to me.
Our organisation would like...
to have an exclusive agreement with your store.
Please allow us the opportunity.
You said that you're a head merchant,
but you don't seem to be aware of the market's situation.
My organisation is...
working exclusively with the merchant organisation...
- headed by Jung Nan Jung. - I am aware.
I also know...
that you're not even making half of the profit...
you could be making because of that woman.
Do you think...
that I'm working with her because I want to?
I absolutely hate the fact that I have to do it.
Do you know why I ended up getting locked up in Jeonokseo?
I got into the trap that woman set up.
Do you know...
that Lord Yoon Won Hyung is imprisoned at Jeonokseo now?
He has also been...
dismissed from all of his posts.
Are you serious?
You can confirm it yourself when you go back to Jeonokseo.
This is the perfect opportunity...
for you to get out of Jung Nan Jung's trap.
Ok Nyeo!
Hey, I heard everything from Treasurer Ji.
He told me that you're the chief's assistant now.
You almost look like a different person.
It's not a big deal at all.
What are you talking about?
I'm sure no other warden has gotten that far in their career.
Bring them here if you know of anyone.
Anyway,
did you look into what I asked you to find out?
- Finding Park Tae Soo's grandson? - Yes.
I already found a few guys who can help me.
I'll be sure to find him, so don't worry.
Oh, don't forget about finding the owner of the rings, too.
All right.
- Thank you for the food! - Thank you, Sir.
See you again.
Ma'am, Ma'am!
What took you so long?
Did you find guys who can help me?
Yes, I did. Go in the room.
By the way, do you have the money ready?
My goodness.
I told you that you don't need to worry about the money.
Whatever. I'd rather believe that dogs never bark.
How can I believe what you say?
Gosh. You don't know me well enough, do you?
Here.
Have a look.
My goodness. Where did you get this money?
Take this.
If we find this person,
I'll give you double of this amount.
- Did you say double? - That's right.
Oh, my! Okay, no problem.
Go in. They're waiting for you.
- Take this. Is it that room? - Yes, thank you.
20 years ago,
a man named Park Tae Soo was framed as a traitor and died.
He had a son named Park Jung Gook.
His son and daughter-in-law also died then.
The person you guys have to find...
is Park Tae Soo's grandson.
What is his name?
- I don't know. - You don't even know his name?
How are we going to find this man then?
Goodness gracious.
You fool. If it was that easy,
why would I be paying you guys all this money to find him?
I would've just done it myself.
This information might be helpful.
Rumour has it that his grandson...
was adopted into a rich family in Kaesong when he was 4.
All right.
I think that will help us narrow down the search,
so let's find this man quickly, okay?
I need to appease Her Majesty.
I should prepare a gift for her.
What kind of gift?
What is her weakness?
What she fears the most...
are rumours that she poisoned her husband...
to put her son on the throne.
That's why she killed...
all the court ladies and maids...
who served her husband since he was young.
I heard that one of the maids...
is still alive.
I remember you telling me this.
Find her and silence her.
That should make her...
warm up to us.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
- Ma'am. - Why are you here?
I'm shopping.
How is the lady in Anguk-dong?
Nothing much has changed.
Then increase the dose a little bit.
I will.
Does Yoon Tae Won still visit?
No. He hasn't come by since that girl got arrested.
Tell me as soon as...
you see him again.
Of course.
How did it go?
I made the offer,
but I'm waiting for his answer.
I thought about it.
Jung Nan Jung will do something when she finds out...
Lee Myung Woo's doing business with you.
She still needs his business.
Don't worry.
You're right. At the moment,
both you and I really need...
Lee Myung Woo's help.
Let's go.
But...
I can't get rid of this niggling feeling.
If something bad happens to...
Lee Myung Woo...
Mother.
Mother, it's me.
Myung Seol.
Maybe she's out.
Mother.
Wake up.
- Mother. - Ma'am.
I will go and get a doctor.
- Stay with her. - I will.
Ma'am, wake up.
Ma'am.
Oh dear.
What happened?
Ma'am.
- This one? - Yes.
Have a look.
- Watch where you're going. - Sorry.
- Be careful.
Where did she go?
She spit dark red blood.
Do you think she was poisoned?
No.
She fainted because she is weak.
She should recover...
if she takes the medicine, eats well,
and gets some rest.
Mother, how do you feel?
When did you get here?
Don't get up.
I feel fine now.
Ok Nyeo, you're here, too.
Are you sure you're all right?
I am.
You can't be.
You were unconscious and had coughed up blood.
It happens sometimes. Don't worry.
I think you should have a doctor visit you regularly.
Don't bother. I know what I have.
It's deep-seated sadness.
Are you okay?
I was so worried when you got arrested.
I'm sorry for causing you concern.
Don't be.
It's good to see you're safe and well.
Why are you in here?
When did you get here?
A while ago.
The lady had coughed up blood and fainted.
I was wondering if she was taking any medication.
She wasn't. Now get out.
Of course.
Male Wing, second floor, Cell 1, 3 prisoners.
Male Wing, second floor, Cell 1, 3 prisoners, clear.
Male Wing, second floor, Cell Two.
Five prisoners.
Male Wing, second floor, Cell 2, 5 prisoners, clear.
Male Wing, first floor, Cell 2, 3 prisoners.
Male Wing, first floor, Cell Two,
- three prisoners, clear. - Male Wing...
What is it?
Oh dear, oh dear...
Move! Move, move, move.
Move.
Sir.
Something terrible happened.
What?
Lee Myung Woo in Cell Three hung himself.
What?
Did you just say Lee Myung Woo?
Yes. The owner of the paper store in Chilpae Market,
Lee Myung Woo.
Welcome, Sir.
- Lead the way. - Come with me, Sir.
This is the cell.
What happened?
- You tell him. - Sure.
I was doing the rounds this morning...
and I found him hanging from the ceiling.
Check the body.
Yes, Sir.
Both hands are clenched into fists,
and his ankles are straight.
I am sure that he killed himself.
We make the conclusion...
after the official autopsy.
Of course.
The most important clue of suicide by hanging...
is the mark on the neck.
That tells us whether he was hung when alive,
or if this was made to look like a suicide.
This mark tells me that...
he was alive when he was hung.
Come over here.
What should we do now? If they found out...
we let him out during the day, they will arrest me.
There's an even worse problem.
What's that?
Lee Myung Woo didn't kill himself.
Someone killed him.
What? Are you sure?
Yes. I'm positive.
