(Episode 22)
Please take a look.
What do you think about it, Sir?
It looks perfect.
You're amazing.
Then Dae Gil and I will head to Haeju first.
Okay. I'll depart soon, too.
Please leave first.
Yes, Sir. Let's go.
Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.
What is it?
Do you know that...
Ok Nyeo became a slave?
What?
Who are you?
Attack!
My goodness.
Officer Yoo, did you wait long?
No, I just got here.
- Let's go inside. - Okay.
What?
Are you sure you're paying?
I am. Why?
I heard that the wine here is expensive.
Are you sure about this?
I said I can afford it.
Now that I'm in charge of Jeonokseo,
I finally see...
just how much Dae Shik stole from the funds.
My pockets are full of cash.
Don't worry and come with me.
What now?
Why do I feel so nervous?
Is it your first time here?
Yes.
Mine, too.
Don't let it show. We can't let it show.
- Oh, right. - This way, Sirs.
- The room is ready. - We've been here before.
- Come this way. - We're regulars.
Look at this.
Don't you worry about a thing.
- Take off your hat. - Shall I?
Let's really have some fun.
I like your style.
Look at the place.
- Hello, Senior Officer Yoo. - Gyo Ha.
We finally meet here.
I missed you.
- Thank you for visiting us. - You're welcome.
Don't just stand there. Serve the gentlemen.
- Yes, Ma'am. - Sit.
Come over here.
Finally.
Oh... Gosh... Hello.
So... What is your name?
I am Myo Hyang.
Myo Hyang?
Let me pour you a drink.
Thank you.
Since when were you this pretty?
Officer Yoo.
Thank you. I never thought I'd get to drink here.
This is nothing.
Sir.
- I shall pour you a drink. - No, no.
I don't feel like drinking any more.
- Why is that? - I heard...
Sosoru is the best parlour in Joseon, but that was a lie.
It's worse than...
the house of widows in Chilpae Market.
- What? - Gyo Ha.
Are these the best girls...
you have to offer?
Officer Yoo, I think you're going a bit too far.
You can't insult such beauties.
They are not beauties.
I understand what you mean.
Good.
Sir Sung, are you there?
Officer Yoo.
- We're getting new girls. - Of course we are.
- They charge a fortune. - Right.
Did you call me?
Take the table out of the room.
Yes, Ma'am.
- Come in. - What's going on?
- Take the table. - What?
Yes, Sir.
- Gyo Ha. - Wait.
What's wrong?
Please leave immediately.
- I will not serve you. - What?
- Do we have to leave? - What for?
Is this how you treat your customers?
We don't serve just anyone here.
This is Sosoru.
Leave before we embarrass you.
Don't be like this.
Okay, I'll pay you extra.
Get out of here!
- I'll pay you more. - Let's just go.
- Really? - Yes.
- Why? - Myo Hyang.
- What did I do wrong? - Where do you live?
- Come with me. - What a rotten day.
I don't believe this.
- What a disgrace. - Wait.
- Officer Yang. - What an embarrassment.
Officer Yang, wait up.
I'm sorry about what happened.
Let's go somewhere else.
- How about the market tavern? - Where?
- Go alone if you want to. - Hey.
You said she was pretty.
When did I say that pig was pretty?
Myo Hyang...
I wonder where she lives.
Myo Hyang. Myo Hyang.
At least I got to save my money.
Sir Gong is here.
He wants to see you.
Tell him I don't.
Don't be like this.
I'm going for a walk.
But...
This tastes nice. Have one.
She's back.
Why isn't Tae Won with you?
He left saying he had to go somewhere.
Even when you said I'm here?
Yes.
He's really upset, then.
Give him some time before you try to talk to him.
- He'll be very confused right now. - Why?
We don't know yet if Lord Yoon will live or die.
Tae Won may hate the man,
but it's still his father who is at death's door.
Of course he'd be confused.
Lord Yoon was attacked...
by a bunch of assassins,
but Tae Won saved him.
Is that true?
Yes.
I don't believe in fate or destiny,
but seeing Lord Yoon and Tae Won...
makes me think it exists.
Hello, there.
You have a nice bunch.
- Hello. - Let's see you, then.
Who do you have?
Move it. Why are you so slow?
Look. We have a new supply.
Go in there.
Go on, harder. Harder.
Get in there.
That way.
We'll cut your heads off if you try anything dumb.
Stay here in silence.
When were you brought here?
Five days ago.
All the men died on the way.
We're what's left.
Do you know why?
No, I don't.
Did you find out?
How did she end up a slave?
Her supplying salt to the army became a problem.
They were charged with...
gaining profit with confidential information.
Jeonokseo's chief and the merchants...
were all sent to Jeonokseo,
and after the trial,
Ok Nyeo was sent away as a slave.
I didn't know that I had gotten them into trouble.
Where was she sent?
She was sent to Haeju.
She did what she did...
for the sake of the prisoners.
Didn't the Ministry of Law Enforcement consider that?
Jeonokseo's chief and the merchants...
were released for those very reasons.
Only Ok Nyeo...
was sent away.
Who was in charge of the trial?
Officer of Law Enforcement, Kim Tae Jung.
I shall speak with him.
Summon him immediately.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Mak Gae.
Tae Won is outside.
What?
Why is he here?
Why else?
He must want to know how his father's doing.
Where are you going?
I should let the two meet.
What if Nan Jung finds out?
Don't do it.
I'll deal with it. Don't you worry.
But...
Here you are.
How is...
Lord Yoon doing?
He's still in critical condition.
I'm hesitant to say this,
but the royal physician says...
there's a possibility that he could just die.
This could be your last chance.
Would you like to see him?
If he were to die,
wouldn't that bother you forever?
Sit.
What? Poisoned?
Yes.
I will tell you who did it.
It was Jung Nan Jung!
How dare you.
I know how much...
you hate Nan Jung and me,
but how dare you speak such nonsense.
A poisoning?
You fools!
Who was that?
What is going on here?
Stop that right now!
Are you hurt?
I would like to speak with you.
Could you spare me some time?
I have nothing to say to you.
Tae Won.
Why are you here?
Get out right now.
Stop it. Why are you shouting?
Isn't it obvious?
Until he showed up,
we had no problems to speak of.
He is the reason...
we have headaches and Lord Yoon was threatened.
Get out before you curse us all.
Nan Jung.
He's the person who saved Lord Yoon...
from the assassins.
What?
Do you call this saving?
Just look at him now.
Get your facts straight when it comes to...
blaming someone for ruining lives.
My perfectly fine life...
was turned upside-down the day you appeared.
Everything bad that happened to me...
was because of you.
- What? - I will never come here again.
Don't you worry.
How dare he.
Who is he?
He is...
What?
What are you going to do?
I've wanted to meet him for a long time.
Why do you want to meet him?
I know how anxious my mother has been because of him.
I need to ask him myself why he is here.
My lady, please stop.
He came here because Lord Yoon is gravely ill.
That's right, my lady.
Do you know what he does?
He used to be a scoundrel in Samgae Dock.
Now, he's a merchant of an organisation.
A scoundrel?
Yes, my lady.
It's so shameful that my father's son was a scoundrel.
How disgraceful.
He was abandoned as a child because of you and Lady Jung.
- I guess he didn't have a choice. - Jong Geum...
What did you say?
Ok Nyeo isn't here yet, right?
No, Sir.
Anyway,
why don't we have lunch first? I'm starving.
Why are you being so sissy? Let's go.
Sir, wait for me!
- Here it is. - Thank you.
Please enjoy your meals.
Thank you.
- You're welcome. - Gosh, I'm so hungry.
Go find out what happened...
in the Provincial Office recently after lunch.
Find out if anyone from the government agency...
has been to Haeju recently and who they are.
We need an officer's name...
in case we meet with the governor.
Yes, Sir. Should we pretend to be...
an officer and a treasurer of the Royal Secretariat?
That's right. Do not forget this.
We are here as per the King's order.
We'll give him this letter as the proof of the King's order...
that Ok Nyeo is granted as Prince Deokheung's slave.
And don't forget.
Investigate the governor of Haeju Province.
See if he has any weaknesses.
- Yes, Sir. - Good.
- Let's eat, then. - Yes, Sir.
Anyway,
what will we do...
after we take Ok Nyeo out?
I have no idea. Sir Lee will come up with something.
Hey, stop thinking. Just eat.
I'm the one who plots things. You just need to act. Eat up.
Do you mean Ok Nyeo, a warden of Jeonokseo?
I heard that it's you who made the ruling on her case.
Yes, Your Majesty.
However, would you kindly...
allow me to ask you why you're talking about her?
I need you to answer my question first.
I heard that her retrial was nullified.
What's the reason?
That is...
because her charge was too grave.
There's no reason other than that.
Then,
why did you release the chief of Jeonokseo and the merchant...
who were accused of the same charges as Ok Nyeo?
Well, that... That is...
Give me convincing reasons.
I'm afraid to tell you...
that it's not me who superintended this case...
but Lord Yoon Won Hyung.
Lord Yoon?
Yes, Your Majesty. All I did...
was obey his order.
That's total nonsense!
What is the law for?
You can't just make rulings according to Lord Yoon's will.
I apologise, Your Majesty.
Bring Ok Nyeo back to Hanyang immediately.
Bring her back...
and carry out a trial again, following the due procedure.
This is a royal command.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Be quiet! Do you have a death wish?
You.
Come out.
Now.
Follow me.
Gosh, it's so hot.
I brought her.
Untie her and wait outside.
Yes, Sir.
Get out.
Come closer.
If you behave well,
I'll make sure you fill yourself.
Come on. Come over here.
Why are you doing this to me?
Among the girls that we kidnapped,
you're the prettiest.
Come over here.
Come on. Have a seat here.
Come here.
Are you ignoring me?
What a wretch. How dare you ignore me?
Stop it if you want to stay alive.
Look at this wench.
You're prettier when you're angry.
Stay still. Stay quiet.
What's going on?
What did you do to him?
I only stopped him from touching me.
Wake him up!
- Sir! - Sir!
Sir!
Are you okay, Sir?
What a pathetic fool.
I apologise, Boss.
Get lost, you idiot.
After two days, take every girl in the storage including this one...
to Yongdae Dock.
There will be Ming slave traders.
Sell these girls and get the goods.
- Yes, Boss! - Yes, Boss!
Take her out.
Dear me. He's drinking again.
Ma'am.
Hello, Chun Doong.
When did Treasurer Ji come here?
It's been quite long.
He drank pretty much.
Why don't you go tell him to stop drinking?
- Please. - Okay.
Go now.
You rarely drink. Why are you drinking here this early?
It's so painful to stay sober.
You need some snacks to eat with drinks at least.
What is this?
What if you fall sick?
Ok Nyeo became a slave, and her life is at risk now.
What's so important about my health?
Hold on.
Woo Chi went to Haeju.
He'll take Ok Nyeo out. Please stop worrying.
Do you think manipulating King's letter is that easy?
The least I'd hope for is for them to come back alive.
Still, that's the best option we have at the moment.
Whenever I think about Yoo Jong Hoi and Jung Dae Shik,
my blood boils and it drives me crazy.
If you're that upset, let's just get back at them nicely.
These prisoners on the list will stand trials.
I see.
Officer Jung.
Yes... Yes, Sir.
What on earth are you doing?
What do you mean?
I heard that you provided new clothes to the prisoners.
Their clothes were worn out because of sweat,
so I distributed some new clothes.
Goodness. You've gone out of your mind.
I don't care if their clothes are worn or not.
Why did you give them new clothes without my permission?
I just stuck to the rules of Jeonokseo.
That's right, Sir.
More serious problems can occur if a plague sweeps Jeonokseo.
What I'm asking is...
why you made that decision on your own.
Are you in charge of Jeonokseo?
Why did you do such a thing...
without my approval?
Goodness.
Officer Jung!
Explain it to me, Officer Jung!
Gosh. Hey!
- What is it? - Get off.
Gosh, Treasurer Ji.
- Why are you so drunk? - Get off!
Gosh, what is he doing here?
- Yoo Jong Hoi! - What?
Are you crazy, you brat?
Right! I am crazy! I am!
That crazy...
Treasurer Ji. Please come to your senses.
- Take him out of here now. - Let go of me!
- Let go of me! You jerk. - Stop it.
Ok Nyeo did nothing wrong.
What wrong did she...
do to you?
Why did you have to destroy her life?
Bring her back.
You must save her life!
Treasurer Ji, what happened?
- My goodness, Sir. - Come here.
You're no different, you scum.
Please stop.
- You're such a... - I know what you're going through.
- Treasurer Ji must be... - Get off!
You come here.
I'll kill you, you punk!
- Gosh. - I feel you.
- Please calm down. - Bring back Ok Nyeo.
All right. Calm down, Treasurer Ji.
He can't be more pathetic than that.
Don't you dare cause a scene here ever again!
Dear me.
- Goodness. - What a day.
This isn't my day.
That brat is pretty strong.
Officer Jung!
Did he hit you too?
Does it hurt?
What a rotten day.
Treasurer Ji.
Chun Deuk...
- My goodness. - Chun Deuk.
Treasurer Ji.
- My goodness. - Please wake up.
I understand how you feel.
Help him sober up.
Yes, Sir.
Treasurer Ji, please get up.
Please wake up.
Get off.
Goodness.
You are not drunk?
Of course not.
Now I feel much better.
Gosh.
What is it?
This is a promissory note from Gong Jae Myung's organisation.
Please check.
Okay.
Anyway, Ma'am.
Is there more?
I think Gong Jae Myung's organisation...
is still working upon their convenience.
We've taken them over long ago.
They're still using their own notes.
Lady Jung allowed them to do so.
Don't mind it.
Ma'am.
You shouldn't underestimate them.
They already stabbed us in the back many times.
They may seem obedient now,
but they're nothing more than ill-bred scoundrels.
Someday,
they might try to take over your position.
Don't worry about that.
I already have a plan.
Where did you come from?
I'm an officer of the Royal Secretariat,
Kim Yong Goo.
I'm Yoon Jung Yoon, Treasurer of the Royal Secretariat.
I see.
Anyway, what brings you all the way...
to Haeju Provincial Office?
I have a King's letter to deliver...
to the governor.
The King's letter?
I'm Governor Yoo Ki Joon of Haeju.
I'm Kim Yong Goo, an officer of the Royal Secretariat.
I'm Yoon Jung Yoon, Treasurer of the Royal Secretariat.
Have seats.
Yes, Sir.
I heard that His Majesty sent you an order.
Yes. Hand him the letter.
Yes, Sir. Please take this.
Sir,
do you happen to know the chief of the Royal Decrees, Jo Byung Ho?
Lord Jo Byung Ho...
stopped by Haeju...
and met me...
before he left to inspect the border.
Why do you ask that?
He told me...
to make sure to extend his best to you.
How do you know Lord Jo?
I closely served him...
since I used to work at the Royal Decrees.
I see.
Please extend my best to him as well.
Of course, we will.
Anyway, according to this letter,
His Majesty wills to grant a slave...
who'll work here to a royal relative, right?
That's right. He wants to grant a slave named Ok Nyeo...
to Prince Deokheung.
But the situation doesn't seem so good.
I just heard...
that the constables...
who were bringing slaves here ran into bandits.
Pardon?
What do you mean?
Then, what happened to the slaves and constables?
All of them died...
except one constable who barely survived.
I can't obey His Majesty's order...
against my will.
What should I do?
May... May I meet...
that survived constable?
Sure.
Sir.
Wouldn't Ok Nyeo be already dead?
We have to wait and see.
Sir!
Oh, he's here.
They are officers of the Royal Secretariat.
They have questions to ask you regarding that incident.
Yes, Sir.
I heard that you came across bandits...
- in Mount Chilsung. - Yes, Sir.
Bandits showed up out of nowhere...
and harmed constables and slaves.
I barely made my way out.
There must've been a slave named Ok Nyeo.
That's right, Sir.
I remember her name because I checked the name list.
Do you know what happened to her?
I'm afraid to say...
that she'd be dead.
When I escaped from them, I clearly heard a bandit ordering...
others to kill everyone.
Is that...
really true?
Yes, Sir.
You're such a fool. It's driving me crazy.
You act all smart to other people,
but when it comes to your own problem, you act like a fool.
Are you okay with being a slave?
You'll be all alone and...
they will humiliate you. Doesn't that scare you?
Aren't you scared at all?
Ok Nyeo.
Actually,
I am scared.
It does scare me.
If I become a slave,
I will miss so many people.
Sir Ji,
- Please take care. - Chun Doong,
- Ok Nyeo... - Sir Lee,
- Don't worry and wait for us. - Woo Chi...
and...
you.
Imagining that I won't be able to see all of you any more...
scares me a lot.
How is he?
Still,
his pulse is very weak.
I apologise, my lady.
Nan Jung.
What is it?
Hurry yourself out.
The Queen Dowager is here.
What?
Your Majesty.
What brings you here, Your Majesty?
You must be devastated.
I extend my gratitude for coming here for Lord Yoon.
I'd like to see Lord Yoon first.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Please come in.
How is his condition?
Is there any sign of improvement?
I'm afraid to tell you...
that we'll have to watch his progress...
as his internal injuries are too severe.
You must save him.
I'll count on you.
I will do my best with all my might, Your Majesty.
You may leave now.
- Yes, Your Majesty. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Nan Jung,
you look very pale.
Your Majesty.
He'll get better soon.
Don't worry too much about him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Do you have any idea...
who would have done such terrible thing?
I think...
it's one of Prince Bongseong's family...
who died in 1547.
(Prince Bongseong was killed by Queen Munjeong's family.)
Didn't we take care of...
all of Prince Bongseong's followers?
I already knew some of them survived and...
they are seeking Lord Yoon's life.
They have been quiet, so I lowered my guard.
I should've been more vigilant.
It's my fault that...
I let this happen, Your Majesty.
Don't say that.
I will make every one of them pay.
Let me handle it.
You should focus on taking care of Lord Yoon.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty. Officer of Law Enforcement, Kim Tae Jung is here.
- Let him in. - Yes, Your Majesty.
Have a seat.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Did Ok Nyeo...
arrive in Hanyang?
Your Majesty.
I'm afraid to tell you that...
constables who were taking prisoners to Haeju Provincial Office...
were attacked by bandits.
What did you say?
So, what happened to Ok Nyeo?
The constable who survived said...
she must have been killed by bandits.
This is all my fault, Your Majesty.
You may go now.
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.
Sir, let's go. Now.
Oh... Okay.
Gosh.
- Here. - Goodness.
Gosh.
I thought it smelled good, but it tastes good, too.
I think you have a good many problems.
How so?
You know so little about this world.
How will you be able to tell...
the King how his people are doing?
You should experience everything and feel it for yourself.
Sir.
Didn't you say you'll go to Hwanghae Province?
Why are you still here?
Woo Chi left early and he sent us a message that we shouldn't come.
Why did he say you shouldn't come?
I don't know. It's driving me crazy.
Maybe something went wrong.
That's what I want to say.
There he is.
Woo Chi.
Where is Ok Nyeo?
Why isn't Ok Nyeo with you?
Where is Treasurer Ji?
He has to take care of something at Jeonokseo. He'll be a little late.
I'm asking where Ok Nyeo is!
We should get inside.
What happened to Ok Nyeo?
Did you say she died?
Did she really get killed by bandits?
I can't believe it. It can't be true.
You know what a good fighter she is.
I can't believe it, either.
But...
the only constable who survived...
said Ok Nyeo must be dead.
Who did you say died?
Treasurer Ji.
What...
What are you talking about?
Did you say Ok Nyeo is dead?
On the way to Haeju Provincial Office,
Ok Nyeo ran into a gang of bandits.
- My goodness. - Sir.
It can't be true.
Ok Nyeo.
Tae Won.
What brings you here?
Something terrible has happened. Ok Nyeo is...
What happened to Ok Nyeo?
On the way to Haeju Provincial Office, she ran into bandits.
My gosh. They say she was killed.
What?
After two days, take every girl in the storage including this one...
to Yongdae Dock.
There will be Ming slave traders.
Sell these girls and get the goods.
Excuse me.
- What is it? - Please let me see your boss.
What for?
I have something to tell him.
Follow me.
You little witch!
Hey! Stop her!
You little... Gosh, it hurts.
What's going on?
She tried to escape.
Should I kill her?
She's the prettiest one among the girls we are going to sell.
It's a waste to kill her.
Lock her up in the storage and keep a close eye on her.
Okay. Take her.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Hi.
Sir.
Have you heard?
- Heard what? - Officer Sung...
has been demoted.
He will soon be transferred to a provincial office.
Demoted? It can't be right.
Officer Sung will marry Lord Yoon's daughter soon.
It means he is on a fast track to the top.
Maybe he's getting promoted and you heard it wrong.
I'm sure it's a demotion.
My uncle told me.
You mean the commissioner?
Rumour has it that...
he's no longer marrying Lord Yoon's daughter.
He broke off the engagement.
- He broke off the engagement? - Yes.
Think about it. Officer Sung has been acting strange recently.
He sided with Ok Nyeo at the trial. It was very unusual.
The person that got Ok Nyeo involved in this mess...
is Lord Yoon.
What you're saying is...
Officer Sung has broken off the engagement and...
Lord Yoon is punishing him for it.
- Is that it? - Yes. I think so.
Hold on.
What should we do now?
What do you mean?
This kind of storm...
would kill more than one person.
Gosh. I'm getting anxious.
We should be fine.
You punk.
Gosh. You're born into the right family.
You wouldn't know how I feel.
Gosh. How unlucky am I?
Sir.
What is going on?
Why should I be transferred to a provincial office?
Do I have to explain it? You should know...
the reason better than I do.
Does it...
have something to do with my engagement?
That wouldn't cause you any trouble.
You can't be sure of that.
Sir.
Anyhow, I had nothing...
to do with this decision.
If you want to know the reason,
you should ask someone else.
You can go now.
Sir.
I heard you've been relocated.
Is that true?
What happened?
Sir.
It was true.
I told you.
I knew something like this would happen...
to someone so young and stubborn like him.
Gosh. He brought this on himself.
This is just a beginning.
If you think about what you did to them,
being demoted is nothing.
I believe...
there will be...
a crisis in my organisation as well.
I'm sorry.
I'll take full responsibility for my action.
Responsibility?
How are you going to do that?
Father.
There isn't anything you've accomplished by yourself.
Do you have any idea what it took to make you...
an officer at the Police Bureau so young?
You acted as you please.
You don't know anything about taking responsibility.
Now,
I don't expect anything from you.
I don't care...
about what you do with your life any more.
Father.
Father. Can you hear me?
Father.
Is that you, Shin Hye?
Father.
Father. Hang on a second.
I'll bring Mother.
Mother.
What is it?
Mother. Father is awake.
He opened his eyes, Mother.
He did?
Mak Gae.
Notify the Palace immediately.
Okay. I will.
Lord Yoon...
How is he?
He looks much better.
I can get him medicine and apply acupuncture now.
Thank you.
Nan Jung.
What on earth happened?
You were unconscious for five days.
My lord.
Shin Hye and I have been so worried about you.
Father.
I'm so glad that you're awake now.
I'm fine now.
I...
I need to...
speak to my wife privately.
Please excuse us.
- Yes, Father. - Yes, my lord.
Let's go.
I thought I lost you.
I can't die and leave you alone.
I won't hear the end of...
your reproaches later.
How can you be making jokes right now?
Did you...
find out who did this to me?
Yes, my lord.
I think it's one of the followers...
of Prince Bongseong who died in 1547.
Prince Bongseong?
The Queen Dowager...
ordered to arrest all of his followers who survived.
They dared to do you a harm.
They will pay for it with their lives.
Those punks.
Your Majesty.
Palace Guard Officer, Ki Choon Soo is here.
- Let him in. - Yes, Your Majesty.
What brings you here?
Your Majesty. Lord Yoon has gained consciousness.
Is that so?
It's great news.
According to the royal physician,
he has gotten a lot better that he can give him...
both medicine and acupuncture.
I see.
You must take care of...
Prince Bongseong's followers immediately.
Yes, Your Majesty.
- My goodness. - What is this?
Seize every one of them!
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Move.
- Who are you? - What are you doing?
- Get off of me. - Move!
- Let go of me! - Go!
- Let go of me! - Get off of me! How dare you!
Ma'am!
What is happening?
- Come out at once. - Mother!
- Goodness. - My lady!
- Go! - Get off of me!
Come out here!
Get off of me!
- My goodness. - Stay quiet.
Stay still!
- Take them. - Yes, Sir.
- How dare you! - Goodness.
- You can't do this to us. - Move!
Your Majesty.
What is it?
The Queen Dowager ordered to arrest all of those who are...
involved with Prince Bongseong.
What did you say?
Did she give a reason for it?
It's because they tried to assassinate Lord Yoon.
What brings you here?
Lord Yoon has woken up.
Is Lord Lee here?
Yes. Please come in.
The Queen Dowager thinks...
Prince Bongseong's followers...
tried to assassinate Lord Yoon.
The Palace Guards and Department of Justice are...
arresting everyone who is involved with Prince Bongseong.
They didn't...
do anything.
A few years ago,
one of his followers...
attacked Lady Jung.
After that,
I think she kept an eye on them.
Don't they suspect that it was us who did it?
No.
Don't let your guard down.
Make sure they won't suspect us.
I feel bad for them,
but we must...
keep it a secret.
Yes, my lord.
They shouldn't...
- say that, right? - No, my lady.
- That was... - My lady.
Have you heard?
Heard what?
Officer Sung has been demoted.
He got transferred to Haeju Provincial Office.
What?
Why did you have to tell her that?
They're not engaged any more.
Why would she care about him?
I just thought...
she might want to know.
My lady. Don't mind him. It's actually good news.
If he goes away,
you'll never have to see him again.
Goodness. I hope he goes further away.
Lady Shin Hye.
What is it?
Mother.
I heard that...
Officer Sung was demoted and sent to Haeju.
Yes. I saw to that in person.
I want him to suffer as much as you did.
He insulted our family.
His family must experience the same.
Do you have to go that far?
What do you mean?
Do you still have feelings for him?
Shin Hye.
I tried to forget about him,
but it's not easy.
What should I do now?
Shin Hye.
Tae Won, I heard you were looking for me.
Was Ok Nyeo attacked on Mount Chilsung?
Yes.
I need to go there.
What?
Have your boys locate the bandits' hideout.
Okay.
Come this way.
Him, the man over there.
He lived near Mount Chilsung.
Did you live near Mount Chilsung?
- Yes. - Do you know where the bandits are?
No?
- Did you live near Mount Chilsung? - What is it, Sir?
- No, Sir. - No?
No. Did you?
Do you know of a bandit hideout?
- Mount Chilsung's bandits. - I have no idea.
What do they want?
Do any of you know about Mount Chilsung's bandits?
- No. - No.
Where is he?
Can we find him before dusk?
It's like finding one Mr Kim in the whole of Hanyang.
I know that.
Hey, it's Eun Soo.
Eun Soo... Oh dear.
Watch where you're going!
You watch it.
Hey, it's the guy.
- What? - Man Soo, follow him.
See where he's staying.
- Okay. - Be careful.
Man Ok, go and tell Tae Won that we found a bandit.
Okay.
Listen to me very carefully.
Tonight, the bandits will take us...
to Yongdae Dock...
and sell us to Ming slave traders.
We will escape on the way to the dock.
Be strong.
How will we manage that?
Leave that to me.
But until then, you have to...
be obedient and do as they say.
Don't do anything to irritate them.
Welcome back. You did well.
They only take the women...
and sell them to Ming.
If she wasn't sold already, she'll be in the hideout.
We'll attack after sunset. Be prepared.
Okay.
Spread out and...
find a place to hide.
- Okay. - Okay.
We're under attack!
- We're under attack! - We're under attack!
I'll look for Ok Nyeo.
I'll keep them occupied. Don't worry.
Be careful! Be careful, Tae Won!
Ok Nyeo.
Where's Ok Nyeo?
- She's not here. - I guess we were too late.
Move it.
Are you okay?
- Are you? - Yes.
We have to hurry.
Come on.
Watch out. Behind you!
Are you all right?
Oh no. You're bleeding badly.
I'm fine. Is everyone else okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
We have to get out of here. Hurry.
Okay.
Come with me.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Let's go.
The bandits won't search for us any further.
Thank you so much.
You saved us.
Where will you go?
I will go to Haeju, Hwanghae Province.
Where will you all go?
I will never become a slave.
- Me, neither. - Me, neither.
Then we have to part here.
Can you manage alone?
I can. Don't worry about me.
I'm sorry.
Don't be. Go on, everyone.
Be careful.
Let's go.
(Haeju Provincial Office)
Who are you?
How dare you!
What happened?
I'm Sung Ji Heon, a new officer here.
Call a physician!
- What? - Now!
Yes, Sir.
Hang in there. Ok Nyeo!
Ok Nyeo. Ok Nyeo!
Sir...
Ok Nyeo!
(The Flower in Prison)
Lord Yoon was saved by his son.
Blood is thicker than water.
Could you not forgive me?
What do you want from me?
What will happen to her?
She'll work as a slave.
What are you doing here, Sir?
It's possible that...
Ga Bi's daughter is alive.
What?
I will accept your offer.
That's great.
I am Yoon Tae Won.
I have bad news.
Yoon Tae Won is back.
She is Ok Nyeo.
She will do.
What do you mean, Sir?
She will serve the minister.
- Set it up. - Yes, Sir.
