(Episode 16)
I am Mining Surveyor...
Lim Chang Gook.
Have a seat.
Why did you ask to see me?
Do you know a Cho Dal Ho?
How do you know him?
Can you tell me what you know about him?
I have been after him for years.
Why are you looking for him?
He is trying to mine gold,
which is forbidden by law.
He is a felon...
who deserves to be executed on the spot.
Ok Nyeo.
I just heard from Jung Nan Jung.
What did she say?
She bit. She took the bait.
So you received a message from Jung Nan Jung?
Yes, Sir.
She took the bait. Now, we just need to move on as planned.
Don't be so sure.
Jung Nan Jung isn't a soft target.
Does Tae Won know this too?
No, I don't think so.
I think...
we should keep Jung Nan Jung hanging...
as she's distrustful.
Keep her hanging?
What do you mean by that?
We need to use Gong Jae Myung's organisation...
where Tae Won works.
Gong Jae Myung's organisation?
Oh, Ok Nyeo.
What brings you here?
Where is Sir Yoon?
Tae Won must be in Sosoru now.
Sorry?
I guess you haven't heard about it yet.
Tae Won is now in charge of Sosoru too.
You'd better head to Sosoru...
if you want to see him from now on.
Why do you want to see him?
Hi, you're here.
What happened all of a sudden?
Why do you work for Sosoru?
It just happened.
What brings you here?
Jung Nan Jung contacted us to meet with Woo Chi.
That's good. Are we all set now?
No. Sir Lee Ji Ham thinks we should take it into account that...
Jung Nan Jung is a very sly person.
She'll doubt us if we start the deal right away.
So we need some help from your organisation.
Is that so?
What should I do?
We should make Jung Nan Jung think that...
Woo Chi could always deal with Sir Gong's organisation.
That way, she'll be preoccupied with competing against you...
and will have no time to get suspicious of us.
That's a good idea.
I'll discuss it with the head merchant.
Tell Woo Chi to carry out his plan.
- Okay. - Good.
I will be right back.
- Then, I'll see you there. - Okay.
Sir.
Isn't the lady you just met...
called Ok Nyeo?
Do you know Ok Nyeo?
I don't.
I just thought she'd be Ok Nyeo.
What is your relationship to her?
Well...
How should I word this?
You desperately called her name when you were drunk.
I guess she's very special to you.
Well, I could say that.
Ok Nyeo.
I need to talk to you.
Sorry?
Ok Nyeo,
did you tell Chief that you'll bring rice for prisoners?
Oh... Yes.
How? How will you get rice?
I can't tell you right now.
What are you scheming now?
Why are you doing something even the King can't?
I can handle it. Don't worry.
How can I not worry about you?
What if things go wrong?
I said I'd do it because I can.
It's a matter of prisoners' life and death.
I wouldn't have started if I wasn't sure.
Goodness.
Okay. Please be careful.
Right, Ok Nyeo.
An officer from the Police Bureau was looking for you.
- Why? - I don't know.
I said you're not here and he just left.
I adopted you...
when you were four years old and have raised you since then.
At that time,
I desperately wanted to have a son.
So I hired someone to find you who had no family or relatives.
Yes.
You're very right.
I wanted to see the troubled people for myself...
so I could think of ways to help them.
That is up to me and the court officials.
You need not get involved.
Mother.
For how much longer must I just obey your orders?
I am the King of Joseon.
Your Majesty.
Lord Yoon is here to visit you.
Let him in.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Wait.
Did something bad happen?
You seem disturbed.
The King started opposing me.
He had never done that before.
I don't know what's gotten into him.
Your Majesty,
the King is already 27 years old.
It would have been even stranger if he was highly submissive.
I'm sure he has his own worries.
He must've been frustrated...
while you were governing as a regent.
Why don't you...
let him have a voice now?
Is that what you think?
Yes, Your Majesty.
I will have a frank conversation with him...
not as his uncle but man to man.
I'll count on you.
Yes, please.
Please put your concerns aside.
Why did you want to see me again?
I need to discuss an urgent issue with you.
Please sit down.
Yes, my lady.
When are you going back to Pyongyang?
Well...
I haven't been to Hanyang for years. So I will meet my friends...
and go back three days later.
What if...
I told you that I'd develop gold mines?
Pardon me?
I am aware that developing gold mines...
for personal profit is strictly prohibited by law.
But I'm sure there are ways.
If you help me,
I will...
guarantee your better future.
My lady.
Do you know why the government...
strictly forbids individuals from developing mines?
It's because the tribute to Ming is involved in this issue.
If...
Ming finds out that there are people mining gold in Joseon,
Ming will ask Joseon...
for much larger amount of gold as a tribute.
That's why the government has forbidden...
not only individuals...
but also state-owned agencies from developing gold mines...
since the era of King Sejong.
Your offer...
must be an irresistible one...
for ambitious men.
I...
cannot take it.
I apologise.
Please don't.
I will tell Lord Yoon...
about how loyal you are.
Thank you...
for trusting my faithfulness, my lady.
How did it go?
If I guessed it right, Cho Dal Ho must be in Hanyang now...
and contacted Jung Nan Jung.
It's a great chance to arrest Cho Dal Ho.
Keep close watch upon this house.
Yes, Sir.
He's such an adamant person.
It would've been better if you hadn't told him about that.
Lim Chang Gook assumed that Cho Dal Ho is in Hanyang...
and he contacted you.
He said he'll keep his watch on you...
to arrest Cho Dal Ho.
You need to be extra careful.
Nan Jung, it's too dangerous...
to deal with Cho Dal Ho.
I must accept high risk for a high return.
That's how it works.
I can get rid of...
a mining surveyor at any time.
You don't have to worry.
- Be careful. - Watch out.
Score at least three.
Okay.
- Is that them? - Yes.
It's them.
I will take care of it.
Please do.
- Man Soo. - Yes?
I want you to walk around Chilpae Market.
What for?
To see if you can find any likely victims.
Why else?
What will you do in the meantime?
We'll keep ourselves busy.
Why are you asking so many questions?
You're overdue for a beating. Get lost. Right now.
Okay. I'm going.
Just go.
Take your time.
He's so slow for his age.
- Shall we go? - Yes.
- My goodness. - Hello.
Isn't this pretty, Man Ok?
Man Ok, pick whatever you like.
Why would I have any use for an accessory?
Why wouldn't you? You just have to wear it.
Come on, pick one.
The colours are so pretty.
This, too.
It suits you perfectly.
Forget it. I'm not interested.
What are you interested in, then? Tell me.
Money.
Money?
Chun Doong.
We need to talk.
- What for? - Don't ask. Just come with me.
Run.
- Where are you going? - Let me go.
- You aren't going anywhere. - Let go.
You rat.
Come with me if you value your life.
What's this about?
Who taught you to steal? You deserve a beating.
Man Soo.
Chun Doong.
- Man Soo. Man Soo. - Man Ok.
On your knees. On your knees!
- Man Soo. - They hit me.
What is this about?
Do you really not know?
- Will a beating help? - Wait.
Is this about...
- what I did at Samgae Dock? - Yes.
You stole from our merchant.
Do you know how much he had?
I'll kill you if you don't pay back all 1,150 yang.
What?
1,150 yang?
I can beat you up first.
I didn't know how much he had.
I didn't keep a penny.
How dare you.
That doesn't make any sense.
If you didn't keep the money, then who did?
These two?
- Did you take it? - No, Sir.
We didn't keep it.
We didn't, I swear.
Then who did?
- Tell me or... - Wait, wait.
Yoon Tae Won from Gong Jae Myung's...
merchant organisation...
What?
Yoon Tae Won?
Yes. He told me to pick the man's pocket.
We didn't know how much was in it.
- Yoon Tae Won? - Yes.
He stole from him on purpose.
That means he knew the merchant worked for us.
Yes.
Who issued the promissory notes he lost?
Lee Dong Young, a merchant in Jeonju.
Find out what he spent them on.
I will.
Chun Doong.
- Hi. - Hey.
Who beat you up?
You know Dong Chang.
He beat me up.
What for?
He knew that...
we'd picked the pockets of Lady Jung's merchant.
He beat us up, telling us to pay him back.
I had no choice but to give him your name.
I'm really sorry.
Dong Chang...
has a horrible temper.
You got off lightly.
He'll come after you,
asking for the money.
What now?
Don't worry. I'll deal with it.
I'm really sorry.
- Hello. - Hi.
Are you meeting Jung Nan Jung?
Yes. She wants to meet me in Gahwe-dong.
Did you say Gahwe-dong?
Yes.
Why there? She lives in Gye-dong.
She owns eight houses in Hanyang.
One of them is in Gahwe-dong.
I'll go with you to the house.
What do you mean?
Something might happen.
I will follow from a distance.
You don't have to.
No.
It's better to stay safe.
You can use my merchant organisation.
I discussed it with Sir Gong.
Okay.
Sir, it's not her.
She duped us. She knew we were watching.
Welcome. She's waiting inside.
- Come in. - Thank you.
Welcome.
You contacted me sooner than I thought.
I would say that's a good sign. Am I right?
Your offer was very attractive.
If you will provide me...
the rights and finances to develop the mine,
I promise you will be satisfied with the returns.
However,
it bothers me that you're a wanted felon.
What are you talking about?
What is this about, my lady?
Kneel.
On your knees!
If you wish to live,
tell me exactly where the vein of gold is.
This is not what we agreed upon.
I never promised you anything.
Don't do this.
It takes a special person to develop a gold mine.
You cannot do this without me!
We shall find out whether I can or not.
Now,
tell me where the vein of gold is.
I spent my whole life tracking it down.
I will not tell you even if you kill me.
Make him tell.
I will.
- Take him away. - Yes, Sir.
My lady, you can't do this.
Think what you're doing.
You will regret this.
Do you think he will tell you where it is?
We can't do business with him.
We have to make him speak.
Okay.
Where is Woo Chi?
He's in trouble.
What happened?
Jung Nan Jung locked Woo Chi up.
What?
She never meant to do business. She wants to make him...
tell her where the gold is.
We didn't think of that possibility.
We forgot how greedy she is.
What should we do now?
Even if this means failing,
we have to get Woo Chi out.
Right.
Go.
Woo Chi. Woo Chi.
What are you two doing here?
There's no time. We have to go.
No. Don't waste your time.
Forget about me.
Get out while you can.
Woo Chi.
Are you trying to get yourself killed?
If you get me out of here,
everything we did goes down the drain.
It's not worth your life. Come with us.
No.
Jung Nan Jung will never kill me.
Until...
I tell her what she wants to hear,
she won't be able to kill me.
She will torture you until you speak.
I can deal with that.
This is now...
between me and Jung Nan Jung.
I didn't come this far only to give up.
Get out of here before someone sees you.
Tae Won, take Ok Nyeo and go.
Now.
Get out of here.
Hurry up.
Walk faster!
I said walk.
Move it.
Chun Doong, what will happen to us?
What? Us?
Our names will be cleared.
Don't worry. It causes balding.
We aren't innocent. They caught us on the spot.
You don't get it, do you?
I know people here. They won't touch us.
Do you know how much I gave the guys here?
Especially Officer Yang. He practically works for me.
He should be here by now. Where is he?
There he is. That's Officer Yang.
Yook Soon, come forward.
Get up.
They caught him stealing a rice cake.
I didn't steal it. I picked it up off the ground.
I swear. Please forgive me.
I'm not lying.
Release him. Next.
Thank you. Thank you.
Lee Yong Im, step forward.
She stole some barley from her neighbour.
Oh dear. Were you that hungry?
Release her. Next.
Chun Doong, Man Soo, Man Ok. Step forward.
Hello.
Get up.
Move it.
They were caught pickpocketing in Chilpae Market.
Chun Doong's the leader,
and these two are his helpers.
Send them to Jeonokseo. Their trial's in 10 days.
Yes, Sir.
What? Sir.
Why send us to Jeonokseo when you released everyone else?
You didn't steal out of hunger.
Am I wrong?
What about our friendship?
What? Do you want to be flogged?
Flogged?
I'll go to Jeonokseo.
- Take them. - Yes, Sir.
Officer Yang. Officer Yang.
I thought we were friends.
You said we'd be released.
That's what I thought.
I haven't seen Ok Nyeo in a while, Sir.
Is something wrong?
Oh, Ok Nyeo?
She's doing something very important.
Don't worry if she's never around.
What is going on?
Nothing. You'll find out in due time.
That's all you have to know for now.
Sir.
What justifies you being late for our meeting?
I just got back from the Palace.
Something strange happened.
What?
The new Law Enforcement officer...
that came by a while ago.
Apparently, he's not the real one. Someone else is.
It was someone else and not the man who came to Jeonokseo.
What are you talking about?
Then who's the man whom we met?
I wouldn't know. That's what's so strange.
Did we meet a fraud, then?
I just got back from meeting the real officer.
He said his name is Park Sang Do.
That's it. Park Sang Do.
The man who came here said that his name...
was Lee Ki Joon.
What?
What is going on?
Who did we meet, then?
Why would someone pretend to be another?
I don't understand.
How strange.
I smell something fishy.
I think the fraudster will end up in our cell pretty soon.
- He looked nice. - Probably.
How dare he.
- How dare he dupe me. - He was a poser.
Hello, my lord.
- Do you want wine? - No.
I came to give a message.
What is it?
You are not to accept any customers tonight.
What? Why?
I will host someone special.
You can't take any customers.
Who are you bringing that can't mingle with others?
Do you know how much we'll lose?
I will make it up to you, so don't worry.
I also need you to pick...
the prettiest girls you have.
No, forget their looks.
Pick five of your best singers and dancers.
No, make that 10 girls.
Will you bring 10 guests?
No. Just one.
What?
- Gyo Ha. - So Jung.
Have you seen Tae Won?
He left last night and hasn't returned yet.
Lord Yoon just came by.
He's bringing a special guest by tonight,
so we can't accept anyone else.
How special is this guest?
He wouldn't say.
Can't you hazard a guess?
Well,
a special guest to Lord Yoon, who has all the power in Joseon,
can only be the King.
Why would the King come to a place like this?
She's right.
I can't wait to find out who it is.
Find Tae Won for me.
I will.
I guess we'll have to dress up.
Let's go.
- Did you find out? - Yes.
Tae Won spent the money to buy gold.
Gold?
Yes. Pure gold pieces straight from a mine.
Pure gold pieces?
Tell me where the vein is.
I'd rather...
you just kill me.
I can't give away my secret.
Go on. Beat him harder.
If I die...
the pieces of gold I showed you...
will disappear with me.
Without my help,
no one can find the gold vein.
My lady.
You cannot develop the mine alone.
Have you ever even tried...
to estimate the amount of gold that would end up...
falling into your lap even if we halved it?
Being greedy...
can make you lose everything in the end.
You're dismissed now.
- Yes, my lady. - Yes, my lady.
You're extremely stubborn.
My lady,
you are the stubborn one, not me.
How much money do you need to develop the gold mine?
Are you trying...
to make a deal with me now?
Tell me.
I need 10,000 yang.
It can't be a promissory note. It has to be the top quality silver.
Let him go.
Nan Jung.
You won.
I'll prepare the fund you need.
If you...
don't keep the promise you made to me,
you'll be dead.
What put you through that ordeal isn't Lady Jung's greed.
Just think of it as a test...
and don't hold any grudges.
Yes, Sir.
And...
the mining surveyor, Lim Chang Gook,
is in Hanyang now.
Seriously?
He's going around the whole city to catch you,
so you should be very careful.
I will, Sir.
Get going now.
My goodness!
Gosh, what happened to you? I almost couldn't recognise you.
Goodness.
You're beaten to a pulp.
Who did this to you?
Ok Nyeo! Sir Lee!
Come out! Woo Chi is back,
but he looks severely beaten up.
What happened?
Sir.
I won!
- She said she'd give us the fund. - Great!
Gosh, I've never seen a foolhardy person like you!
Great job! I'm proud of you!
Ok Nyeo.
Would you treat me to a glass of rice wine?
Yes. Of course.
Ma'am! Ma'am!
- Yes, what's the matter? - Hurry up.
Bring him rice wine and some food.
But...
can he drink alcohol in that state?
- You should see a physician... - Gosh, stop nagging me.
Just go and bring rice wine!
Goodness. Okay, all right.
I'm on it. My goodness.
- Hurry up. - Okay.
How much cash could we prepare immediately?
If we gather cash from all of our stores in Hanyang,
we'll be able to prepare about 5,000 yang.
Be sure to prepare the other 5,000 too...
even if we have to sell things.
Okay.
But...
can we really trust him?
You saw it with your own eyes, too.
To him, the gold vein is more important than his own life.
We can trust him.
One thing keeps bugging me.
What is it?
I heard that Yoon Tae Won stole money from one of our merchants...
as he was arriving at Samgae Dock.
- What? - Apparently,
he bought pure gold nuggets with that money.
I'm talking about gold nuggets that look like...
Cho Dal Ho gave to Nan Jung.
What are you trying to say?
Are you saying that Yoon Tae Won and Cho Dal Ho...
are colluding with each other?
Yoon Tae Won has it out for Nan Jung,
so we never know what's on his mind.
I'm not sure whether I should tell Nan Jung about this or not.
No, no.
Don't tell her.
You might be jumping to conclusions to hastily...
about those two being in collusion.
Don't cause any unnecessary trouble.
Just keep it to yourself for now.
Okay.
Welcome, Your Majesty.
What is this place?
It's called Sosoru. It's the best kisaeng parlour in Hanyang.
Today...
will be my treat.
Let's go in.
Oh, right.
Today, you should completely let go of yourself...
in order to ensure that your real identity remains unexposed.
Today, you're not here as the King.
You're here as my nephew.
Let's just have fun as man to man...
and let all of our anguish and worries melt away.
Will you be able to do it?
Lord Yoon.
- You're disrespecting His Majesty. - No, it's okay.
I'll do as you say, Uncle.
Today, you should treat me...
as your nephew, not as the King.
I will do so, Your Majesty.
Let's go in, Hwan.
Go ahead.
Why is this kisaeng parlour so quiet?
Your Majesty.
No, Hwan. To do their best to serve you,
they're not accepting other customers today.
Wait a few moments here.
Your Majesty.
I know that he is Lord Yoon Won Hyung,
but he shouldn't be allowed to treat you that discourteously.
It is fine.
For today,
I'd like to forget my position and duties as the King.
You...
Aren't you the warden at Jeonokseo?
Why are you here?
What brings you to this kisaeng parlour, Sir?
Why do you think men come here?
I'm here to drink.
The ration for Jeonokseo has been cut off,
and the commoners are starving,
but you can afford to visit a kisaeng parlour like this.
I'm very envious of your life.
You wench!
Watch that impudent mouth of yours.
That's enough.
Stop it.
She's right. Don't scold her.
Haven't you heard the saying that even kings can't solve poverty?
Are you saying that I should take...
responsibility for poverty as a mere government official?
I'm not telling you to take responsibility for it.
You're an official who receives a stipend from the government,
so I think that you should be distressed about the situation.
Well, then...
how distressed are you about the situation?
A little while ago,
a woman...
took the lives of her children and parents-in-law.
Her family was starving, so she made soup...
with fish intestines which she found near the port...
and gave it to her family.
However,
blowfish intestines were mixed in it.
All of her family members who ate the soup died,
and she survived alone.
Do you know why that happened?
She didn't eat the soup...
so that her children could eat more.
Ever since I heard that story,
I've been in utter agony.
It pains me more because there is nothing I can do...
as a mere warden at Jeonokseo.
Ok Nyeo.
Yes, Sir.
Jae Seo.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Let's go.
What about Lord Yoon Won Hyung?
I'm sure...
he'll have fun even without me.
Hwan.
Hwan, where are you? Hwan!
Where did he go? Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Where are you?
Your Majesty!
Woo Chi has been released.
Jung Nan Jung promised him that she'd provide him with the fund.
That is great news.
I know Woo Chi has been working very hard,
but you've also made key contributions.
Not at all. I didn't even do much.
You came up with the idea of using Jung Nan Jung's money...
to feed the prisoners at Jeonokseo.
No one else could've been able to come up with that idea.
It's not over yet, though.
It'll be over when we actually get her money.
Woo Chi has been released,
so we're almost there.
By the way,
who is that man you were talking to?
Oh, he's the officer of Law Enforcement.
The officer of Law Enforcement?
Well... How do you...
know the officer of Law Enforcement?
He came to Jeonokseo recently for an inspection.
He's a government official,
but he said some nonsensical things.
So I gave him a hard time.
You're really something else.
What do you mean by that?
You don't need to know.
Tell me.
I said you don't need to know.
What is it? I'm getting more curious.
By the way,
how can the officer of Law Enforcement come here to drink?
- That's what I'm saying. - Goodness.
I guess things are peaceful inside the Palace.
- My goodness. - My goodness.
I'm speechless.
What is the matter?
Lord Yoon Won Hyung.
The important guest didn't turn up in the end.
He ruined my business for the whole day and just left.
Thanks to him, we can take it easy today.
Do you think this is funny? My blood is boiling right now.
Well... By the way,
do you know a girl named Ok Nyeo?
Ok Nyeo?
No.
She seems to be very close to Sir Yoon. I'm wondering who she is.
Why don't you find out yourself?
Do you want me to look into it?
No, it's okay. I'll find out.
Yes, tell me. Did you look into it?
I tried but that man called Lee Ki Joon,
the one that visited here before. I haven't found anything about him.
How strange.
Ok Nyeo, do you know anything?
The man who came here for an inspection recently.
Apparently, he's not an officer of Law Enforcement.
Pardon me?
Oh, I actually saw him last night.
What? Where?
I ran into him at Sosoru.
At Sosoru?
Who is that man, really?
What a strange man.
Well...
Is your plan for getting rice coming along well?
Yes.
I can't even sleep because I'm so nervous and anxious.
Sir, it'll go well. Please don't worry.
By the way, who do you think those men are?
Why did they lie about their true identity...
and go through Jeonokseo?
I'm not sure.
I've never seen this happen before. I haven't the slightest clue.
All sorts of things happen because this nation has become chaotic.
I'm not telling you to take responsibility for it.
You're an official who receives a stipend from the government,
so I think that you should be distressed about the situation.
Well, then...
how distressed are you about the situation?
The former King never let the prisoners here starve...
no matter how difficult the situation was.
I am aware that we're going through famine,
but how could the ration supply for Jeonokseo be cut off?
Do you think allowing families...
to visit with food is a good solution?
They all come from poor families,
so they can't expect food or help from their families.
It won't solve any problems.
It's a nonsense idea that avoids dealing with the reality altogether.
She didn't eat the soup...
so that her children could eat more.
Ever since I heard that story,
I've been in utter agony.
It pains me more because there is nothing I can do...
as a mere warden at Jeonokseo.
Did you want to speak to me, Your Majesty?
Do you remember the warden at Jeonokseo?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Find out who that girl, Ok Nyeo, is.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Nan Jung, the mining surveyor, Lim Chang Gook, is here to see you.
- Let him in. - Okay.
What brings you here?
There is an urgent matter we need to discuss.
Please have a seat.
Yes, my lady.
I heard that Cho Dal Ho is in Hanyang now.
If you're currently working on something with him,
please stop it immediately.
What makes you think that I might be working with him?
I've looked into it and obtained some information.
If you are affiliated with him in any way,
your reputation and honour will be greatly tainted.
Excuse me, Sir. Are you trying to threaten Lady Jung now?
No, I'm not.
How could I dare to threaten you, my lady?
I am just advising you...
out of my sincere concern.
You do not need to worry about this matter.
If that is why you're here, you may leave now.
Yes, my lady.
These guys work for me.
They'll carry the cash you get from Jung Nan Jung.
Okay.
You must stay alert until the moment...
the money is in your hands.
I will, Sir.
I've known you since I was a little girl,
and I looked down on your swindling tricks at times.
I don't feel that way any more. You did such a great job.
I'm honoured that you've recognised.
I'll be sure to make it a success. Just watch me.
Let's go.
Be careful.
- What are you doing? Follow him. - Yes, Sir.
Stop.
Put it down.
- Yes, Ma'am. - Yes, Ma'am.
Bring it.
Here are the silver ingots. Feel free to check them.
Everything looks good.
Now, tell me the location of the gold vein.
Yes, of course.
Here is the map that shows the location.
I'll leave for Hamhung as soon as the sun rises...
and start working on developing the gold mine,
I'll be going to Hamhung with you.
I should go and see the gold vein with my own eyes.
You should, of course.
I'll meet you at Songpa Dock tomorrow at 6am.
All right.
Carry this.
My lord!
No! Gosh!
Nan Jung. It's that man, Lim Chang Gook.
Stop them! Go! Hurry up!
Get out of here.
Nan Jung, we should run.
The money! What about my money?
Don't be silly! Money isn't what's important now!
Run! Get out of here!
- Hurry up! - Gosh!
Go! Get them!
Woo Chi.
Hey, Woo Chi!
Get up now.
Gosh, that hurts.
Goodness, my ribs hurt.
Gosh, this slab of lard.
If this were any thinner, I'd be dead by now.
Oh, there they are.
Pay your respects. This is Sir Lee Ji Ham.
I'm the mining surveyor, Lim Chang Gook.
Goodness, what are you doing? It's all over now.
You fool. Tell him the truth now.
I learned how to con from Woo Chi.
I'm Ko Dae Gil.
You guys are amazing. It's unbelievable.
Did you see how good we are?
Even Jung Nan Jung wouldn't imagine that she's conned.
You're right.
I guess I'm very lucky...
that you're not my enemy.
I think I'm lucky because you're not my enemy.
Anyway, we have 10,000 yang. How will we carry all of it?
Goodness. You're such a good archer.
I can't just give up here.
Tell Lord Yoon...
to dismiss Lim Chang Gook from his position,
and bring my money back.
That's out of the question.
If Lim Chang Gook...
reported you,
your reputation would've been hugely undermined.
This isn't something we can stop...
even with Lord Yoon's power.
He's right, my lady.
Be grateful that you survived.
Goodness. They're so noisy.
Be quiet. Silent.
Gosh, it's driving me crazy.
It's unbelievable.
- Treasurer Ji. - Yes, Sir.
Where is Ok Nyeo?
I have no idea, Sir.
- Gosh. - Sir.
We don't even have enough rice for today.
Gosh, this is crazy.
Goodness, it's really serious.
Sir! Sir!
Sir.
Please go outside of Jeonokseo.
- What is it? - Please.
Hurry.
Let's go, then.
What happened?
- Hurry up. - What's going on?
- Hurry. - Gosh.
What is that?
- What's going on here? - Ok Nyeo.
Are these all rice?
- Rice? - Yes, Sir.
Goodness.
So we can feed prisoners with this?
Yes, Sir. I can bring enough rice...
for next three months.
So you don't have to worry about it.
Wow!
This is unbelievable.
Are you sure?
Wow!
Ok Nyeo, what's going on here?
Where did you get all the rice from?
Wow, you brought all of them?
Stop. Stop it.
Don't ask Ok Nyeo any questions.
Ok Nyeo, you did a great job.
Well done!
Ok Nyeo, thank you.
- Wow. - I can't believe this.
- Ok Nyeo, great job! - Ok Nyeo!
I'm proud of you!
Attention!
Be quiet. Quiet!
Guys, be quiet!
You can fill your stomachs to the full.
Don't rush and be careful not to have a stomachache.
Give them as much as they want. Eat. Enjoy your meal.
Please take your time.
Please enjoy your meal.
Enjoy your meal.
This is amazing.
- Give me. - Here it is.
I want some more.
- Wow. - Here it is.
Wow, we have rice!
This is rice!
- It's rice! - Eat a lot.
Tell me if you want more.
Please don't rush.
- Ok Nyeo. - Yes, Sir.
Tell me about it secretly.
How did you get that large amount of rice?
You promised me that you won't ask about it.
I did. You're right.
I'm dying of curiosity.
Come on.
It won't cause any trouble, right?
It will never. Please don't worry.
Good.
Are you...
really not going to tell me?
No. I can't tell you.
Okay. Fine.
Goodness.
Why? Are you going out?
You can stay here.
Oh, dear.
I can't rebuke her for bringing rice.
I wonder how she pulled it off!
Where did she get the rice from?
This is driving me crazy.
Dear me.
It happened again.
You might not know.
But I neglected Tae Won...
for a long time.
I didn't have choice at that time.
But I guess there's no need...
to explain everything to you.
I know it's late.
But I want to take care of him as his father.
I know Tae Won pretty well.
He will never...
want your help.
In Anguk-dong,
I ran into him.
And he stared at me as if he's staring at his enemy.
That's because the lady in Anguk-dong died...
Never mind.
Do you also think...
that it's Nan Jung who killed her?
Well...
It is a mere rumour from the market.
That's a groundless rumour.
I'm sure it's not her.
Oh... Okay.
I believe what you say.
As you said,
Tae Won will refuse my help.
So I need you to help me.
How can I help you?
I will support...
your organisation...
behind Tae Won's back.
Sorry?
Who wrote this trading book?
Sir, this is...
Sir!
Oh, what is it?
Did anything happen to you?
You have been absent-minded for a while.
Let me ask you something.
What do you think about Lord Yoon?
What I think about him isn't important.
He's the one...
who broke Tae Won's heart into pieces.
I spent a few days with him in the cell.
But he was pretty different from what I heard.
What do you mean?
Well, I found innocence...
in him albeit small.
Stop talking nonsense.
You should never describe him...
- as an innocent person. - Stop.
Stop babbling.
Well,
why are you asking about Lord Yoon out of the blue?
What do you think it'd be like if such powerful guy like him...
supported our organisation?
Sir!
Do you want all your ties with Tae Won cut forever?
Fine.
- Uncle. - Yes?
Lord Yoon sent you a message.
He wants to see you.
Okay.
I think there is...
something going on between them.
I think so, too.
- Tae Won. - Hello.
What brings you here?
I need to talk to you.
What is it? Why are you so serious?
Well...
You know who helped you get out of the prison...
when you were accused of treason, right?
Wasn't it Lord Yoon?
It was.
Sir Gong...
visited Lord Yoon.
He begged Lord Yoon...
to save you.
That's why he helped you out.
Did Sir Gong do that?
Yes.
I thought that's was it.
But I think...
there's something going on...
between Sir Gong and Lord Yoon.
I have a hunch.
Did you call for me?
I need to go to the Police Bureau now.
- Why? - What do you think?
I want to meet Officer Sung.
No, that's not what I meant.
Why do you want to meet him?
Do I need to have reasons to meet my fiance?
Why do I have to tell you the reasons?
- Follow me. - Okay.
- Thank you, Sir. - You're welcome.
- Don't ever come back again. - Okay. Thank you.
Check how many prisoners we can transfer to Jeonokseo.
- Yes, Sir. - Good.
Ok Nyeo, what brings you here?
I came to visit Officer Sung.
- Officer Sung? - Yes.
You frequently see that young guy.
Did you want to see me?
I heard that...
you came to Jeonokseo to see me.
You said you knew about my birth parents.
I do, Sir.
Gosh. My lady,
- look at them. - What?
Gosh.
I think there's something going on between them.
Look at her face.
I'm sure she's hitting on him.
Dear me.
That wench.
What are you doing?
Let go of me.
Lady Shin Hye!
Sir.
What brings you here?
I have to tell you something.
I'm on duty right now. I'll see you later.
Come with me.
Yes, Sir.
Oh my goodness.
He's completely ignoring you, my lady.
Where is he going with that wench?
How would I know?
- Goodness. - Get out of my way.
Sit.
Tell me...
what you know about my birth parents and what kind of people they were.
As you are aware,
I am a warden at Jeonokseo.
When I was young,
I met a man named Park Tae Soo.
He was imprisoned in the underground cell...
for 20 years for committing treason.
I heard that felons are only imprisoned...
for around one year.
If he committed treason, he would've been sent on exile or executed.
Why was he imprisoned for 20 years?
I found it out later that Sir Park Tae Soo...
was locked up for such a long time...
because of Her Majesty's order.
And...
what has he got to do with me?
Sir Park Tae Soo...
is...
your grandfather.
What?
How dare you!
Are you saying my grandfather is a traitor?
The person who framed Sir Park Tae Soo for committing treason...
and caused his death was Lord Yoon Wong Hyung.
But you are betrothed to be his son-in-law.
Shut your mouth. Watch what you say.
(The Flower in Prison)
I think Yoon Tae Won is behind this.
Are you saying he fooled us?
That Ok Nyeo girl planned...
and Tae Won led the whole thing.
What are they after?
Why are you doing this to me again?
Pass this letter to Ok Nyeo.
This tastes great!
Have you not had this dish before?
Of course I have.
Why are you avoiding me?
Who are you really?
What do you mean?
Why did you do that?
A father-and-son relationship isn't something you can ignore.
Yoon Tae Won sent us a message.
