Tell me.
Who are you?
Tell me right now.
She fainted.
(Episode 6)
Sir.
You passed the final test.
(Kang Sun Ho)
You are now...
a spy.
However hard you train,
a mission can always fail.
In case of such incidents, every spy...
keeps poison on them.
But...
being in a situation that allows you to take this poison...
means luck is still on your side.
The problem...
is when you're captured and tortured...
before you can take the poison.
You managed...
to withhold from revealing your identity.
What you went through...
is nothing compared to what real torture is like.
There is no such thing as...
withstanding torture.
No matter how strongly you're determined,
in the end,
you would confess everything.
The only way to escape from torture...
is to do everything you can do...
to die.
Look at him.
Where had he been?
Goodness. Who is he?
I don't know.
He seems like...
a prisoner of Jeonokseo.
Which cell had he been in?
Gosh, I... I said I don't know either.
Oh, my.
What's going on there?
Who is he?
Is he being released?
Why are they taking him out of here?
What's going on here?
It must've been a hard time for you.
It must've been harder for you...
to take care of a person like me.
We're sorry that we couldn't serve you well.
Please understand us.
Don't mention it.
Thank you for taking care of me.
Please take care.
You released Park Tae Soo?
No way.
He's the one who bears a grudge against us.
Releasing him...
is like giving him the opportunity to point his sword at us.
There is no one else...
who can handle this mission better than him.
It has already been decided.
There must be many other spies who can carry out the mission.
- Park Tae Soo can't be the one. - Stop it.
I said to stop.
- Your Majesty! - If...
If we fail, how will you make up for it?
This must succeed no matter what it takes.
Park Tae Soo...
is the only one I can rely on.
Ok Nyeo!
Ok Nyeo.
Where have you been?
I told you that I'll visit Yoo Geum.
You'll be surprised...
to hear what happened while you were away.
Do you remember?
I said you should never even dare to go to the eastward wing.
There is an underground cell that nobody knew about.
The only people who knew about it were Chief and Officer Lee.
Only those two.
In that underground cell...
My goodness, a prisoner had been locked for 20 years.
How... How did you find it out?
He was released today.
The way he looked, his long hair...
And his eyes were frightening too.
Just looking at him gave me the chills.
- Look at these goose bumps here. - Okay.
I'll be right back.
Hey.
He looked just like a ghost.
You shouldn't have missed it.
Gosh.
Dear Ok Nyeo.
It's really sad that...
I couldn't meet you...
before I leave Jeonokseo.
But I'm sure that...
we'll have a chance to see again soon.
So don't be too sad.
When I meet you again,
I'll help you find the secrets...
behind the death of your mother.
Ok Nyeo.
The biggest blessing...
in my life...
is to have met you.
(Park Tae Soo)
He is your partner.
I'm Kang Sun Ho.
He'll give you full details about the mission.
Take a seat.
Although you may not remember me,
when I first became a spy,
I saw you from a distance.
As you were the head of spies,
you were regarded as a legend to all of us.
I am very honoured...
to meet you here...
and carry out the same mission.
Tell me about the mission.
Who are we to assassinate?
A Ming's envoy...
who is in Hanyang now.
A Ming's envoy?
The repercussions will be huge if we assassinate him.
That is why...
the mission should be carried out after the envoy and his people...
get out of Joseon.
What is the reason for the assassination?
I don't know.
And there is no need to know.
This is my plan.
We will get out of Joseon first...
and wait for them.
At the envoy's first camp,
we will carry out the mission.
When do we leave?
Tomorrow.
Sir.
Come in.
Did you want to see me?
Yes. Take a seat.
Your first mission has been assigned to you.
I am aware that you need to build more experience,
but your role in it will be crucial in accomplishing the mission.
That is why you've been chosen.
What is my task?
Tae Won.
Gosh, Tae Won!
Hey.
Let me take a break.
We're late.
- There's no time to waste. - I don't care any more.
I can't walk any more, I can't.
Goodness.
Gosh.
No thanks.
I was so anxious that we might not be able to get ginseng at all.
That man. He was going to sell it anyway. Why was he being stubborn?
I think he is really mad...
at Lee So Jung for leaving Kaesong.
Do you mean the kisaeng?
Gosh.
I'm a man too.
But every single man on earth is only after one thing.
That old guy is laying at death's door.
Why is he still so full of lust?
Anyway,
that kisaeng called Lee So Jung.
She really is a beauty.
Good luck.
Gosh, that totally startled me.
What was that about?
Please don't worry.
- Sir. - Yes, Ok Nyeo.
You'll be dispatched to a different region for 3 to 4 months.
To where?
They need you at the temporary palace in Onyang.
There is a court lady waiting for you outside.
You can go with her.
Why do they need her at the temporary palace?
I don't know the full details,
but it looks like the word about her being fluent in Ming's language...
has reached the Palace.
I heard that people from Ming are staying at the temporary palace now.
Be sure not to make any mistakes.
I will. I will get going now.
Travel safely.
Oh, my. Ok Nyeo is getting prettier day by day.
Let's go.
Yes, Ma'am.
That should go there. Hurry up.
Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
What on earth is going on with these guys?
- How did it go? - It looks like Ming's envoys...
will leave Mohwakwan shortly.
Darn it.
What if something bad happened to them?
We cannot let the envoys leave without us.
Well, shall I take a few guys and leave with them?
You idiot.
What will you do if you go with them?
- Well, it's better than nothing. - Goodness.
What a disaster!
- I should go so that we can... - Gosh.
- Jae Myung! - Where were you guys?
You fools! What happened?
You guys got me so worried!
We had a little problem on our way back.
The envoys haven't left, right?
Hey, you should rush to Mohwakwan right now.
- They will leave shortly! - Okay.
- Hey, get ready! - Hurry up!
- Gosh, those fools. - It looks like you're leaving now.
Yes, Sir.
I brought an interpreter as per your request.
My name is Ok Nyeo.
Hey, kid!
Kid, what brings you here?
- Do you know her? - No, I don't.
As you know, neither I nor Do Chi...
can speak Ming's language.
So I asked him to find an interpreter for us.
Why do you ask? Do the two of you know each other?
An interpreter?
Did you quit your job as a warden at Jeonokseo?
Yes, I did.
Hey, what are you guys doing?
The envoys will leave without you if you don't head to Mohwakwan now.
- Oh, right. - Get ready quickly!
Pack up quickly!
- Pack up right now. - Hey, hurry up!
- Let's catch up along the way. - Okay.
- Gosh, Lord Oh. - Lord Yoon.
Your visit was supposed to be longer.
Is there a reason that you're rushing back to Ming?
If anything was unsatisfactory,
please feel free to tell me.
- Hey, did you guys make a mistake? - No, please.
Everything has been excellent.
I was especially impressed by the food at Mohwakwan.
I had to shorten my stay due to personal reasons,
so please don't let it concern you.
Is that right? I see.
Hey, Oh Jang Hyun.
Do you think I'll believe that stupid lie?
You've accomplished your goal for coming to Joseon,
so there is no reason for you to stay longer.
His Majesty sent a court lady from the Palace Kitchen to Mohwakwan,
so I'm sure that the food was delicious.
(Mohwakwan: Place of accommodation for Ming's envoys)
During my stay in Joseon,
I realised that many of my assumptions were wrong.
The King and the Queen Dowager...
have been truly kind and generous to me.
Please let them know that I am grateful for everything.
Of course! I will be sure to do so.
Talk away all you want.
Nothing changes the fact that you will die soon.
Please let His Royal Majesty know...
the current situation of Joseon.
If you could do that for us,
I won't forget your favour for the rest of my life.
I am serving Ming as the Empire's head eunuch,
but this trip has made me realise...
that my heart belongs to Joseon.
You've already become Ming's puppet. Stop saying such gibberish.
I see. Thank you for telling me.
I'm so grateful to know that is how you feel.
Everyone, hurry up!
We have a long way to go.
Tae Won. Tae Won.
Thanks to you, I was able to get ginseng without much difficulty.
I got a lot of them. Thank you.
How could I repay your kindness?
You don't need to repay me for anything.
Do you have to ask?
Just bring some silk and ornaments from Ming.
Don't forget to buy some for me as well.
All right, I won't.
- Give me that. - Yes, Ma'am.
- Take this. - What is this?
It's herbal remedy that will keep you healthy during the long trip.
I got them made as small pills, so they'll be easy to take.
Don't share them with anyone else. They're for you.
Hey, Tae Won! Tae Won! The head eunuch is coming out.
- Just a moment. - Okay.
Everyone, hurry up!
Are you ready to leave?
Yes.
I've appointed him as the head merchant for this trip.
Lord Oh, please take good care of them for me.
Of course. Don't worry.
If this venture becomes a success, I'll help you so that you can...
continue doing trade with Ming.
- Gosh, thank you very much. - Oh, my.
- Don't mention it. - You heard, right? Do a good job.
Thank you, Lord Oh.
He is very resourceful.
That is great.
Your first mission has been assigned to you.
I am aware that you need to build more experience,
but your role in it will be crucial in accomplishing the mission.
That is why you've been chosen.
What is my task?
Ming's envoy who is visiting Joseon at the moment...
will return to Ming soon. You must kill him on his way back.
We cannot kill him within the borders of Joseon.
After you pass Liaodong and get to Shanhai Pass,
where the Great Walls start,
your task will begin.
You will become a member of the merchants organisation...
that will accompany Ming's envoys.
How could I become a member of a merchant group?
I will make the necessary arrangements...
so that you can become their interpreter.
After you leave Hanyang, you will be crossing the border.
During the whole time, you must closely monitor...
Ming's envoy, Oh Jang Hyun.
At camps, watch what he does, find out what his habits are...
and report everything to me.
We finally get to visit Yanjing.
- What's wrong? - Go without me.
Hey, kid!
Oh, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't call you a kid any more.
I haven't seen you in a while, and you've become a grown-up.
Oh, why did you quit your job at Jeonokseo by the way?
Oh, that. There's no specific reason.
Didn't you want to become a warden at the Police Bureau?
Yes, I did. I took the examination, but I didn't pass it.
If that was the case, you should've told me.
I know a few chiefs at the Police Bureau.
I'll put in a good word about you when I return from Ming.
No, it's okay.
I want to try working as an interpreter and learn...
to work in the merchants organisation.
I see. That's a good idea.
It'll be much better than having to look after prisoners.
Anyway, I'm happy to see you again.
Thanks to you, this trip won't be boring.
Don't hesitate to let me know if there are any problems.
- Okay. - Good.
Where did he go?
- Hey. - Yes.
Who is she?
Oh, she was a warden at Jeonokseo when I was there.
You know so many women.
She's really cute.
What are you talking about? She's still young.
That's exactly why I like her.
Can I make a move on her if you're not interested?
Don't even think about it.
I'll fire you right away if you do anything foolish like that.
It's an order I'm giving you as the head merchant.
Okay, I heard you.
You're so greedy.
Gong Jae Myung's organisation left with the envoys.
You should've talked to Lord Yoon and stopped them.
Don't worry about it.
Gong Jae Myung will be doomed.
He will be doomed? What do you mean by that?
That envoy from Ming will die before he gets to Yanjing.
After he dies,
Gong Jae Myung won't even be able to dream about doing trades.
Why would the envoy die?
No, never mind.
Get back to your business.
Okay.
Aunt, that silk dress...
Oh, you're here.
What are you wearing now?
You said you'd let me do whatever I want.
This is just unacceptable though.
I'm always worried and restless because of you.
Just wait and watch.
You'll be so proud of me one day.
That brat. I just can't win.
Your father and I...
will soon meet the man you shall marry.
Have you found her a husband?
Who is he?
An officer at the Police Bureau.
I like that he became an officer at a young age,
but even more so, I like that his family is rich.
His parents are the richest couple in Kaesong.
You should know that...
the richest in Kaesong...
might as well be the richest in Joseon.
That is great news.
I don't care if he's an officer from a rich family.
If I don't like how he looks, I won't marry him.
I spoiled that brat.
Don't you worry.
She's smart for her age.
Come by again.
- We will. Bye. - Thanks for the meal.
You know,
I had no idea...
a commissioner made so little.
It's not enough to support a family with.
You don't know anything, do you?
Of course we can't support a family with our salary alone.
Is there a way around that problem?
There are...
dozens of ways to make more.
Why worry?
How?
Where from?
First,
you pick a few of the popular kibangs in Hanyang,
and demand regular payments.
A lot goes on inside...
that's against the law.
And then there are the taverns.
You know they host travelling gamblers, don't you?
- Yes. - You can raid them,
and confiscate the money they bet.
The last is the most important tip.
We send criminals to Jeonokseo...
from the Police Bureau, don't we?
If you can befriend a few of Jeonokseo's guards,
you can earn quite a lot extra there, too.
How?
Jeonokseo guards...
make extra on the side...
by finding people to get locked up...
or beaten up instead.
All you have to do is ask them about it,
and they are bound to pay you off.
You amaze me, Sir.
- Who are you? - Can I...
really find someone...
to take a prisoner's place and get punished instead?
- What? - How dare you.
I happened to overhear...
your conversation.
My older brother is in Jeonokseo.
Is there a way to get him out?
I know you're still young and all,
but you have no idea how things work.
It doesn't work for just anyone.
You need money.
Oh dear.
You don't look like...
you can afford anything. Come on, let's go.
Please.
Can you help?
Don't get in my way, okay?
Step aside.
Move.
(Ming border guard post)
Do we go around them?
There's no time for that.
As soon as we get there,
we must get some explosives.
Why would we need explosives?
If we can't assassinate Oh Jang Hyun,
we might have to blow up the whole camp.
One of our spies...
joined the troupe. If we blow up the camp,
that person will die.
When on a mission,
we must always prepare for the worst.
In order to succeed,
we must be willing to make a sacrifice.
We shall leave now.
Remember that...
the future of Joseon depends on this mission.
If you fail,
we will be subject to great pressure from Ming.
We shall succeed, my lord.
Once you do that,
you must do something else in secret.
What is that?
We had a long day. Get some rest.
I'm exhausted.
Well done, everyone.
Unpack your things,
get some food in you and get some rest.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
Oh dear.
(Who is in charge here?)
- We can sleep in that room. - Tae Won...
Speak up, then.
- Get Ok Nyeo. - What?
Hey, you.
- Well... - What?
Over there.
(My master said...)
(he wants the head merchant to attend the banquet...)
(the magistrate is hosting for him.)
He wants you to attend the magistrate's banquet.
I appreciate the offer, but no thank you.
(He can't go, but thank you.)
Why not, Tae Won?
What's the point in going?
We'll end up in a corner feeling uncomfortable.
It's just tiring.
But still,
it would be nice to drink some wine.
Say yes.
Oh dear me.
Hey.
Why are you still up?
I'm checking the items we're taking to Ming.
Are you afraid?
- What do you mean? - You talked big...
and got our boss to invest his life savings,
and now you feel the pressure.
It's getting to me a bit.
We have the head eunuch's support,
but no one knows what will happen once we're in Ming.
If this venture fails, we lose everything.
- It's stressful. - Hey.
We're on the road, so there's no going back.
Stop torturing yourself and get some sleep.
Go to sleep right now.
My shoulders are killing me.
My gosh...
(Uiju government office)
Ming's head eunuch...
has a letter addressed to the Emperor.
You must...
get it back.
The head eunuch's chambers will be heavily guarded,
but there will be only one exception.
When your party reaches Uiju,
the magistrate is obligated to host a banquet for the envoy.
Use that time wisely.
(I got the message that the feast is over.)
(So, prepare his bed so that he can take a rest right away.)
You scared me.
Why are you still up?
What are you doing here?
I woke up in the middle of sleeping.
And I couldn't go back to sleep.
I'm a bit hungry,
so I came out to see if I can get something to eat.
The barkeeper is asleep. Do you want me to wake her up?
No, it's fine.
Please wait here.
Do you want some wine?
Yes, please.
Wow.
You can drink now?
When I was young, I ran drink errands in Jeonokseo.
And I often tasted their wines.
Thanks.
I heard that not everyone can trade with Ming.
How did you do that?
Our head merchant...
and the head eunuch go back a long way.
I'm very lucky.
Have you heard...
that there are three opportunities in one's life?
I think this is 1 of the 3 chances.
If this venture succeeds,
we can make our organisation the best one in Hanyang.
I thought you were just a scoundrel.
Since when did you work for the merchants organisation?
Most of the scoundrels work for merchants organisations.
That way, they can feed their family.
Interpretation is very important in this trade.
So take care of yourself until we're back from Yanjing.
Tell me right away if you don't feel well, okay?
Okay.
Our head merchant...
and the head eunuch go back a long way.
I'm very lucky.
Have you heard...
that there are three opportunities in one's life?
I think this is 1 of the 3 chances.
Interpretation is very important in this trade.
So take care of yourself until we're back from Yanjing.
(Chaekmun)
Here.
(Do you need anything?)
(Do you know a person named Atai?)
(I... I haven't heard of that name before.)
(Ask around, then.)
(I will, Sir.)
Who is it?
He's a famous hunter.
When I was working around Chaekmun,
I brought that Jurcheon on my side.
If we can find him,
he'll be a big help in the mission.
You may go back to the inn.
Yes, Sir.
Wouldn't it be dangerous if he goes alone?
You...
don't know much about him, do you?
No, Sir.
There's nothing to worry.
I must be really lucky tonight.
(I'm sorry.)
(Let's take a sip.)
(Shut it!)
(Hey! Why is this place so sloppy?)
(You should either make his mouth shut...)
(or make him stop drinking.)
(You should leave now.)
(Why should I?)
(Take him out!)
(Stop!)
Tae Soo!
Is making a commotion the only way to see your face?
Long time no see, Atai.
Tae Soo!
Tae Soo.
What happened to you?
When I tried to find out if you're alive 20 years ago,
I heard you were beheaded after committing conspiracy.
I lived pathetically only because I couldn't die.
You look good.
I'm making my ends meet.
So you're here in Chaekmun.
I guess you're working as a spy again.
I actually...
have a favour to ask you.
Please tell me what it is.
I need explosives and arrows.
Did you say you need arrows?
There's no better arrows than the ones you make.
Can you get those for me?
Yes, I can.
Who is your target?
You'll find out soon.
- Sir. - Oh, did you find good places?
Yes. I found a number of kibangs.
Hey, if you want to keep sponging on others,
you should never be swoon over by kisaengs.
Once you lose your head over kisaengs, you'll go broke.
Yes, Sir.
- I think this will be a jackpot. - Okay.
Who is it?
I'm the newly appointed officer,
Sung Ji Hyun.
Wow.
I heard that there will be a new officer.
But I never expected it to be this young man.
I'm Yang Dong Gu, the chief of the Police Bureau.
I hope we can work well together.
Oh, my.
It's so nice to meet you.
You take bribes from popular kisaeng parlours...
and raid tujeon dens to take money off gamblers.
You also take money from officers at Jeonokseo who let noblemen cheat...
and make a great deal of kickbacks.
I heard that the salary doesn't even matter for you police chiefs.
Goodness.
You... You're...
the man whom I saw at the tavern last time...
Officer, please...
Things are so disorderly and chaotic here.
- What is this mess now? - Pardon?
Do you think this is your bedroom?
- No, I was just... - And you guys.
Do you not have any respect for you superior?
No, gosh...
Gosh, what's wrong with this? I apologise.
What's happening with this?
What a brash jerk.
Gosh, I can't stand him.
He's so rude.
I started working at the Police Bureau...
way before he was even born.
How could he expect me to pay respects to him?
Gosh, I'm totally baffled.
This is a huge headache.
Why is it a headache?
I've dealt with jerks like him so many times.
It won't take long to tame him. Just wait and watch.
Goodness gracious.
Hello, Sir.
- Goodness! - What is the matter?
Hello, Sir.
Yes, Treasurer Ji.
You manage those guys who get beaten up for living.
Bring one who is really good at enduring pain.
What kind of punishment are we talking about?
Getting flogged 50 times.
That could kill someone.
That's exactly why I'm asking him to bring someone who is good.
By the way, who is the offender that is receiving this punishment?
- He is my wife's nephew. - Pardon?
That stupid jerk harassed a young lady.
If I could, I would go ahead and beat him up to death right now.
But I can't do that because of my wife.
My goodness.
- Hurry up! - Yes, Sir.
- Hurry. - Sir!
- What is it? - Sir, Sir!
- Please come out. - Why?
The chief administrative officer of the Police Bureau is here.
The chief administrative officer?
Why would he come here?
He brought a prisoner himself.
Well...
Have you heard of administrative officers escorting prisoners?
No, I've never heard of such a case.
Gosh, this is unheard of.
Totally. Let's go and find out.
My goodness.
What brings you to Jeonokseo, Sir?
Am I...
not allowed to visit Jeonokseo?
That's not what I meant.
Escorting prisoners is a job for those at low ranks.
I am visiting...
because I heard that prisoners are managed poorly at Jeonokseo.
That is not true at all.
I have no idea what you are talking about.
You let prisoners out if they bribe you.
You also hire people who can get flogged instead of offenders.
Don't these things happen all the time here?
No way.
That is not true at all.
- Not at all. - The truth will be revealed...
when I start investigating.
I'm warning you right now.
As long as I'm in my position at the Police Bureau,
I'll report your corrupt deeds to the Ministry of Law Enforcement...
and will not allow any illegal activities.
I will get going first.
Please clean up the mess for me.
- Yes, Sir. - Let's go.
Goodness. What was that about?
Where does that jerk even come from?
He's causing a commotion at the Police Bureau as well.
So? Are you just going to sit back and do nothing?
I was going to try to tame him,
- but I don't think I can. - Why not?
From what I heard,
Lord Yoon Won Hyung has his back.
What?
He will become Lord Yoon's son-in-law soon.
- My goodness. - What a headache.
- The good days are gone now. - Why...
Why does it have to be Yoon Won Hyung?
Are you the officer from the Police Bureau?
Yes.
I'm the chief administrative officer, Sung Ji Hyun.
Lord Yoon is waiting for you. Please come in.
I'm Lord Yoon's brother-in-law.
My name is Jung Mak Gae.
I see. Nice to meet you.
Oh, my. Look at that handsome face!
- My goodness! - Gosh!
He's so good-looking!
Did you see him?
Yes.
What's he like?
Life is so unfair.
What are you talking about?
You already have everything,
and even your future husband is so handsome.
- Is he really handsome? - Yes, Lady Shin Hye.
I've never seen any man that handsome.
I should see him myself.
- No! - No, Lady Shin Hye!
You will get to see him soon.
Please restrain yourself today.
- Why? I want to see him, too. - My goodness.
He's really handsome!
I'm so jealous!
The chief administrative officer of the Police Bureau...
must be able to make...
correct judgements about the politics.
I'd like to ask your opinion on the current political situation.
Please, my lord.
We're meeting him for the first time.
Why are you asking him about the politics now?
It is very important.
Please allow me to tell you what I think.
A series of treasonous attempts had put the kingdom in chaotic state.
Things have settled and regained order...
because of your strong determination in my opinion.
If I can be given an opportunity,
I would like to help you...
and contribute to further stabilising the political situation.
Good. You should.
I heard about your father's wealth.
How could he become that wealthy?
My father was never interested in obtaining a post in the government.
He believed that earning money could help the kingdom and the people.
Hence,
he became a merchant even though it is frowned upon among noblemen,
and he became very successful.
I am truly impressed.
(Shanhai Pass: Gateway to the east wall of the Great Walls of China)
We're finally here.
I'll meet you over there.
Look at that.
Oh, I should hurry.
Excuse me. Hello, Sir.
We're from Joseon...
No, I mean... We need a place to sleep.
Where do we sleep?
Oh, there. Okay, thank you.
Tae Won, Tae Won!
Hey, they told me...
- that we can use that barrack. - That one?
Yes.
Tell everyone to unpack and get some rest.
Okay.
All right. Let's unpack first.
- Hurry up! - Yes, Sir.
- Bring it over here. - Be careful.
Hey, be careful.
Kid.
We didn't get enough rooms.
It looks like we have to sleep with the workers.
I see. I'm totally fine with that, so please don't worry.
I can't help it though.
My lord.
Did anyone follow you?
No. Please do not worry.
What about the letter that Oh Jang Hyun has?
I couldn't find it.
Why?
I looked everywhere, but I could not find it.
I looks like he went to the banquet...
with that letter on him.
Uiju belongs to Joseon, so it makes sense.
We should wait for another chance.
Anyway,
the commander who is in charge of this mission...
will explain how the operation will take place tonight.
Let's go.
Sir.
I brought her.
Ok Nyeo?
Sir...
How...
Ok Nyeo, why are you here?
Why are you here?
What about you?
What happened to you?
Do you know Ok Nyeo?
If she must be a part of this mission,
I cannot do it.
- Sir. - I told you.
If you are offered a job as a spy,
I told you to never accept it.
Why...
did you make such an irresponsible choice?
If I couldn't work at the Police Bureau,
I wanted to become a spy...
to accomplish what I wanted.
You can't do this.
This will put your life at stake.
Sir.
Did you...
teach Ok Nyeo?
We met by chance when she was young.
That girl...
became my reason to live.
I'd spent years in an underground cell...
and had lost the will or reason to live,
and was frustrated.
She was my hope.
If this mission means running the risk of taking her life,
I cannot continue with it.
You are the one...
who made her a spy.
I taught many candidates,
and she was the best I'd seen.
You won't have to worry.
She will do very well.
You can't...
back out of this mission now.
Sir.
Give me your permission.
I can...
do this.
Sir.
The number of Ming soldiers escorting the party...
is larger than we expected.
What happened?
There were about 20 when we left Chaekmun,
but as we passed Shanhai Pass,
dozens of soldiers who were guarding the border joined us.
Don't you think...
our original plan is unlikely to work in his situation?
Forget the first plan.
Let's go with the second.
After Oh Jang Hyun goes to bed,
Cheol Gi will sneak into the camp.
When he gives me the signal, we shall carry out the plan.
We shall shoot arrows...
at the red lamps hanging around the camp.
The gunpowder will explode,
and everyone will panic.
Everyone will leave their tent and run around.
Wherever he is, Oh Jang Hyun will show himself.
Sun Ho and Cheol Gi...
will move in to kill him.
Meanwhile, Ok Nyeo...
must go into Oh Jang Hyun's tent...
and find the letter.
What was that noise? Go and check.
Wake up, Tae Won. What was that noise?
What was that?
What's going on, Tae Won?
Why are we under attack?
Tae Won!
Wait for me! Wait up! Tae Won!
Hey, Tae Won!
Tae Won. Tae Won.
Are you all right? Tae Won.
Tae Won.
Tae Won! Come back!
What... What is happening?
I don't know.
You should get out of here.
Tae Won!
Who are you?
(Who are you?)
(The Flower in Prison)
- And Ok Nyeo? - She failed.
What will you do now?
Take that secret to your grave.
There are rumours that he's alive.
What do you mean? They're all dead.
Search for them.
What is your grudge?
I trusted someone and that person betrayed me.
He has the evidence.
A chance this good won't come again.
No one in his right mind can sort this out.
Kill him.
Who are you?
