(Episode 9)
I'm Min Chang Gi from the Capital District Office.
What brings you here, Sir?
Is there a prisoner called Ok Nyeo?
Yes, there is. Why do you ask?
I need to meet her. Lead the way.
You can't see her right now.
- Why not? - She tried to kill another inmate.
We locked her up somewhere else for extra punishment.
What?
She's in here.
Open the door.
To visit a prisoner in solitary confinement,
you need my superior's permission.
What?
How dare you! I am much higher than he is.
I apologise, Sir.
- Leave us. - Yes, Sir.
I'm the chief administrative officer of the Palace Guard.
I am reinvestigating the death of...
Park Tae Soo.
I was told he died...
because of your mistake...
and poor reasoning.
Is there anything you have to say about that?
Yoon Won Hyung.
It was him.
It was planned...
from the start.
He named me a traitor...
and left me to rot in the underground cell.
It was...
all on Yoon Won Hyung.
Mark my words.
If you ever mention Lord Yoon,
you will be killed for it.
Whatever happens,
never mention him.
Do you understand?
Everything I said...
in my statement...
is true.
Because of me,
Park Tae Soo...
ended up dead.
Are you aware that Lord Yoon is involved in this incident?
I don't.
If you tell me the truth,
you can live.
Tell me the truth.
I apologise.
I have...
nothing to tell you.
Then,
why did you try...
to kill your inmate?
I...
never attempted to kill her.
She tried to kill me,
so I had to defend myself.
Did she try to kill you?
Yes, Sir.
She tried to strangle me to death...
when I was sleeping.
What happened?
She failed.
What?
You fools.
Can't you do one small job right?
I apologise.
Do it yourself.
Get her out of the prison cell and kill her yourself.
Yes, Sir.
My lord.
Queen Munjeong is watching you.
If you kill Ok Nyeo this way,
it will harm you, too.
If I consider all that and bide my time and she talks,
that will make it even worse.
Kill her. Kill her right away!
It's an order to send a prisoner named Ok Nyeo...
to the Department of Justice right now.
Pardon?
Please wait here for a minute.
I'll bring her here.
What brings you here, Sir?
There is an order to send Ok Nyeo to the Department of Justice.
Pardon me?
I don't understand what you're saying.
She's already been sent to the Department of Justice a while ago.
What?
I even checked the document that was brought by...
the officer of the Department of Justice.
Did you kill her?
I apologise.
When I arrived at the Capital District Office, she was gone.
What are you talking about?
They said she'd already been sent to the Department of Justice.
So I contacted the department,
but she isn't there either.
What?
Then, where has she gone?
Did she fly away?
Or, did she burrow into the ground?
It seems like the palace guard officer took her out of the prison.
Darn it.
We must find her no matter what.
We must find her and kill her.
Yes, my lord.
Inform the Queen that I'm here for something urgent.
Yes, my lord.
Your Majesty,
Lord Yoon is here.
He says he needs to speak to you urgently.
(Queen Munjeong)
Tell him to leave.
Pardon me?
Tell him not to come here...
unless I call him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
My lord,
Her Majesty isn't in a good condition,
I don't think you can see her today.
What? Is she okay?
What's the problem?
Well, that is...
Did she say...
she doesn't want to see me?
She said not to come here...
unless she calls you.
Gosh.
Did you find out anything?
I asked the Capital District Office, but Ok Nyeo isn't there.
What?
They said Ok Nyeo has been...
sent to the Department of Justice.
The Department of Justice?
Sir, if she's sent to the Department of Justice,
it means it'll be hard to make it out alive, doesn't it?
What's worse is...
that she's not in the Department of Justice, either.
What? What are you talking about?
I asked the Department of Justice after Woo Chi told me about her,
but they said she never came.
Gosh. Then...
Where is she now?
That's the problem right now!
Sir,
what should I do now?
If I read her fortune right,
she's not destined to die in such vain.
So don't worry about her too much.
Woo Chi,
our most urgent priority is to find out where she is.
Yes, Sir.
I've already told all my contacts...
to look for her in every nook and corner.
Sir!
- Sir! Please calm down. - Get lost!
Please, Sir! Sir! Stop.
Please calm down, Sir.
Please!
Gosh.
You jerk!
Have you lost your mind?
Sir! Don't hit him!
- Listen to him first. Please! - Get lost, you brat!
How dare you.
Why are you doing this to me?
Did you just ask me why?
All of us are about to be killed because of you.
And you ask me why?
I'm sorry.
The head merchant poked and pried. So I told...
How are you going to settle this?
How will you deal with...
Yoon Won Hyung and Jung Nan Jung?
Don't worry. I'll deal with them and take all the responsibility.
Stop talking nonsense, you jerk!
Stop, Sir!
- Please, stop, Sir! Please. - You jerk.
Stay out of this!
What is going on here?
Tae Won.
Come in. Let me have a word with you.
Drink this.
I heard everything from Do Chi.
When I heard about it,
I thought...
you were using me for your personal revenge...
in the beginning.
So I felt betrayed.
No, that's not true, Sir.
I'm not done talking.
However,
I gave it enough thought,
and concluded that it's pretty understandable.
If I were you, I might have done the same thing.
It doesn't matter to me if you use me or not.
I trust you.
And I am willing to do anything you want to do.
But...
there's one thing that bothers me.
It doesn't matter to me.
As you know,
there are more than 100 people who work for me.
Those poor guys...
They will get in trouble.
They joined my organisation to make a living.
They worked really hard...
and didn't even mind doing arduous labours.
I am worried about them.
Sir,
please trust me.
I'd never start a losing battle.
I'll make sure to win this time.
I will never let them get hurt.
You and our guys.
Please trust me.
Okay.
I already got entangled in this mess. I have no choice...
but to trust you.
Anyway,
when I heard that Lord Yoon is your father,
I was...
so shocked that I couldn't breathe.
The most powerful man in this nation is your father and yet...
look how you are now.
What a strange life you're living.
Sir! Sir!
Where have you been?
The chief wants to see you. Please hurry yourself.
Why does he want to see me when I'm already perturbed?
- Did you want to see me? - Yes.
You look very disturbed. What's the matter?
Ok Nyeo has disappeared.
The Capital District Office says she is in the Department of Justice.
But she is nowhere to be found in the Department of Justice.
Follow me.
Sorry? Where are we going?
Stop grumbling and just follow me.
Come on.
This way.
Come in.
Sir, what is this place?
Just follow me.
Goodness. Why is he taking me into a cave?
- Hurry up! - Yes, Sir.
- That's where she is. - Pardon me?
Ok Nyeo!
- Sir! - Ok Nyeo!
Ok Nyeo...
- Gosh, Ok Nyeo... - Sir.
Sir, why is she here?
Listen to me carefully.
In the entire Jeonokseo,
you and I are the only ones who know...
- that Ok Nyeo is here. - Okay.
Officer Lee and Officer Yoo must not find out.
If people find out that Ok Nyeo is here,
her life could be put in danger.
Okay, I see.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Yes, Sir. I will keep that in mind.
Sir. By the way,
why on earth is Ok Nyeo kept here?
- I don't know, either. - Pardon me?
Just look after her and make sure that no one finds out.
Okay, I will.
Good.
Goodness, my baby.
Sir.
Do you even know how worried I've been about you?
I'm sorry.
I need to know now.
Tell me what is going on.
Why do you have to be locked up in here?
What kind of offence did you commit?
Gosh, it looks like you've lost a lot of weight.
You used to be so pretty, but you look unwell now.
My goodness.
You didn't even eat much.
What is the matter?
I have no appetite.
Did something happen?
I went to visit the Queen,
but they didn't even let me in.
She didn't let you in? Why?
She thinks...
that I'm involved with Park Tae Soo's death.
I beg your pardon?
I must regain her trust as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I'll be in deep trouble.
Do you know who it is that tried to kill you?
If my guess is right,
it must be one of the spies who went to Ming with you.
It can't be.
Whether you believe me or not...
is up to you.
However, one thing I know for certain...
is the fact that I cannot protect you forever.
If you want to live,
you must tell me...
all the secrets you know about Sir Park Tae Soo's death.
If you change your mind,
let the chief of Jeonokseo know.
Ok Nyeo, it's time for food.
Don't get up. Sit down.
All right. I brought...
- the soup you love. - Oh, my!
Where did you get this?
Oh, that? I was going to ask Yoo Geum to make it for you,
but she's not a good cook at all.
I asked the owner...
of the tavern right there to make these dishes.
Well, that woman's face...
looks pretty hideous,
but she's an amazing cook.
Sir, you're being mean.
Well, she isn't exactly pretty. Wouldn't you agree?
Gosh, stop it.
I have high standards.
- Eat now. Eat up. - Okay.
Hey. Don't hesitate to tell me when and if you crave anything.
All right.
It's delicious.
Are you feeling unwell at all?
Not at all. I'm totally fine.
Goodness. Sir Lee said...
that you're destined to live a pretty long life...
and told me not to worry.
I have no idea why I'm still so worried and anxious.
I almost feel as if I'm a blind person...
trying to find a way in pitch-black darkness.
Sir.
I can't tell you anything at the moment,
but I know...
that I'll be able to tell you everything someday.
Oh, right. One more thing.
I have a favour to ask you.
Sure. What is it? Tell me.
Please help me meet Chun Doong.
Why do you need to see that fool?
I have to talk to him.
Didn't you hear what Chief Jung said?
We can't let anyone find out...
that you're here because it's a top secret.
I'll make sure that Chun Doong doesn't tell anyone.
Please don't worry.
You'll do it for me, right? Please, Sir.
All right. Eat now.
Okay.
I've never seen this before.
Of course you haven't.
It arrived from Ming just now.
Pay for them.
Which ones?
Everything.
Pardon me?
Pay for everything from here to there.
You want to buy all of those?
What's the matter? You didn't bring money?
No, that's not why.
Don't you know how much I hate repeating myself?
Just do as I say.
Pay for everything on this row.
Yes, Lady Shin Hye.
- Gosh, he's a thief! - No, I'm not!
- I won't let you get away. - I'm not a thief.
I wasn't trying to steal. Wait!
Let me explain. I wasn't trying to steal at all! Ouch!
Let go! Let go of me!
- Let go of me! - Gosh, you idiot.
Goodness gracious. He's such a fool.
- No! He's running away! - Get him!
Stop it already!
Do you want to let that thief get away?
You're embarrassing me so much.
Well, we were just trying to...
I'm speechless.
Until when do I have to serve her as her maid?
Exactly. It's ridiculous.
My goodness.
That was so embarrassing. I can't live in this town any more.
Gosh, you totally startled me!
Hey, you're not as good as you used to be.
- Did you see it? - Of course. That was embarrassing.
Are you even able to make a living that way?
You really should consider another path.
I think you should to go a forge...
and learn to become a blacksmith.
I'll figure it out, so please mind your own business.
- What brings you here by the way? - Oh, right.
You need to come with me to Jeonokseo.
Why... Why do I have to go to Jeonokseo?
Don't get nervous.
Just stop by at night to meet someone.
- Who do I have to meet? - You'll find out later.
What time?
Just come by in the middle of the night.
Many of them are expensive products.
Handle them carefully.
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
- Stop! - Halt!
Don't move!
- Goodness! - What's going on?
What is going on now?
Search thoroughly...
and find products that are banned from trading.
You guys should search the office and seize their books.
- Hurry up! - Yes, Sir!
Sir, what is this about?
We received a report...
about you guys selling banned products.
- Pardon me? - Sorry?
Make way.
Goodness, what are you doing now?
Don't touch the silk!
What a disaster!
Sir, please...
- Get him out of there! - They're very valuable.
You'll ruin them!
- Right here. - Gosh, please don't do this.
I have a favour to ask you.
Please tell me.
You'll find a scoundrel named Gong Jae Myung at Samgae Dock.
He's also a leader of a merchant organisation.
He keeps meddling in my business.
I'd like you to take care of him.
Are you saying you'd like me to frame him for a crime?
I'm not asking you to accuse him of something he didn't do.
In this line of work, selling banned products...
is unavoidable in order to make profit.
I am certain that you'll be able to find something he's guilty of.
If you search his storage,
you should be able to find things like...
water buffalo horns and gunpowder.
Sir, don't you think you're going too far?
I just paid you off and you're back already.
- Are you trying to bleed us dry? - No.
It's not me this time.
Our new chief administrative officer is mad.
He has no common sense.
I have to go and do whatever he says.
I don't have a choice.
He shouldn't be doing this.
- You bet he shouldn't. - Sir.
Sir, Sir.
We found some banned items.
Water buffalo horns.
- They're ox horns. - Ox horns.
I'm sure they're right.
Sir.
I found some gunpowder.
- Charcoal powder. - Charcoal powder.
- That's charcoal powder.
That's black, too.
What...
What's going on here?
- Something bad is going on. - Sir.
Are you Gong Jae Myung?
I am. Why are you here?
Tie him up immediately!
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
What are you doing?
- Leave me alone! - Let him go.
You can't do this!
Sir. Will you do something about this?
Do something.
Talk to him.
- Help him out. - I can't.
Tae Won. Tae Won.
Tae Won.
Something bad happened.
What is it?
Our head merchant just got arrested.
What?
Was it Yang Dong Gu?
No, the new chief administrative officer.
He's betrothed to Lord Yoon and Jung Nan Jung's daughter.
I bet that Jung Nan Jung put him up to this.
This is the list of prisoners going to trial today.
Good.
Sir.
Have you heard about Ok Nyeo?
Ok Nyeo?
What about her?
The Capital District Office and Department of Justice...
are in uproar.
They're all trying to look for her.
Has she disappeared?
What's going on?
She was locked up in the Capital District Office's cell,
but then she just disappeared.
Both departments are out looking for her,
and there's a huge fuss.
Do you know who's trying the hardest...
to find her?
How would I know that?
Who is it?
It's Lord Yoon.
What?
- Is that true? - Yes!
Everyone from both departments won't dare discuss the matter,
but Lord Yoon is definitely looking for her.
Why would he...
How strange.
- Treasurer Ji. - Hi.
Did anyone follow you here?
- No. - Let's go.
Come in.
Wait.
Who am I here to see?
You'll see soon enough. Hurry up.
Go that way.
Be quiet.
Let's go.
Go, go.
Watch your footing. You might get hurt.
Where are we?
Hurry up.
Where are we? Wait for me.
Wait up.
Sir.
Where are we?
I've been in here dozens of times,
but I had no idea...
this place existed.
I haven't known for long.
Let's go.
Okay.
Over there.
Ok Nyeo.
What happened? Why are you in here?
Sit down. Sit and talk.
- You, too. Sit. - Ok Nyeo...
- Sir. - What?
Could you excuse us?
Okay. No problem.
Are you all right?
I called you here to ask for a favour.
What are you doing here?
I'll explain...
when I get the chance to.
For now, listen very carefully.
A long time ago,
I asked you to find someone. Do you remember?
The old court ladies at Dongungjeon?
No.
Park Jung Gook in Songpa.
His father Park Tae Soo was executed for committing treason.
That's right. I remember now.
Park Jung Gook and his wife were dead,
and I couldn't find their young son.
Right. I need you to find...
their young son.
I couldn't find him then.
How can I manage now?
You have to.
Tell Treasurer Ji that...
under the floorboards of the men's solitary cell in the east,
he'll find some money.
I've been saving up since I was young.
You can spend it all.
Just find Park Tae Soo's grandson.
Okay.
Oh, right.
Ok Nyeo.
Do you have rings like these?
Where did you...
get these?
I stole someone's pouch in Chilpae Market.
I found them inside it.
I showed these to Treasurer Ji,
and he said they were the same as your mother's keepsakes.
Do you remember whose pouch you stole?
I do.
But I don't know where the person lives.
I must find that person, too.
- What? - Please.
Okay.
I'll be killed if we get caught.
Come in.
Look carefully.
No?
- This is it. - Is it?
- There's a chest. - Is there?
How much money is in here?
At least 300 yang.
300 yang? My goodness.
Why do you need all this?
She told me to spend it.
What?
Don't you know what this is?
Ok Nyeo saved this...
by running errands...
and eating less and wearing old clothes.
These are her savings.
You can't spend this.
She didn't just give it to me.
She asked me to find someone.
She said...
I could spend as much as I need for expenses.
- To find someone? - Yes.
Who?
Someone called Park Tae Soo...
was executed for committing treason.
She's looking for his grandson.
Park Tae Soo?
Park Tae... Oh!
Him?
Hey.
Why is she looking for his grandson?
I don't know.
She asked me to find him once before,
but I couldn't find him then.
If Lord Yoon is looking for Ok Nyeo,
this is a great opportunity.
I could use her to gain...
his trust and support.
- Is that true? - Yes.
- I can't believe it. - You better.
Tae Won.
Any news?
It took some effort to set up, but he'll be here soon.
Thank you.
I set it up, but I'm not sure it'll help.
He's very uptight.
I'll do anything I can.
I need to get Mr Gong out.
Okay. You won't have to wait long.
I'll come for you when he arrives.
Sir, you're here.
Do you really know...
where Ok Nyeo is?
Yes, Sir.
Where is that wench?
Do you remember the underground cell in Jeonokseo?
The underground cell where Park Tae Soo was locked up.
I do.
That's where Ok Nyeo is.
Officer Ki Choon Soo took her there.
Are you sure?
Yes, I am, Sir.
Great.
I'll make sure you get credit for this.
Thank you, Sir.
Wait for me here for a minute.
Yes, Sir.
Take my subordinates to Jeonokseo right now...
and kill Ok Nyeo.
Yes, Sir.
Do Chi!
The district governor will be here in a minute. Please meet him for me.
What? What about you?
I have to go somewhere very urgently.
Hey.
Hey, Tae Won!
Ok Nyeo.
I have a favour to ask you.
When you go back to Joseon,
find my grandson...
and...
give this...
to him.
Chun Doong! Chun Doong!
Who is it?
Is Chun Doong here?
He's not back yet. Why do you want to see him?
It's urgent.
Do you have any idea where he'd be?
You know he darts in and out of places.
So I don't know where he roams around.
Why do you need to see him anyway?
Someone's life is at risk right now.
I need to find him as soon as possible.
Life? Whose?
Hey, Hey. What a scum he is.
You should answer first when someone asks a question.
You can't run away like that.
My goodness. He's such a brat.
- Chun Doong. - Why are you here?
I found out where Ok Nyeo is.
- Where is she? - In Jeonokseo.
There's an underground cell in Jeonokseo.
That's where she's locked up.
How did you find that out?
That's not important.
If we don't help her escape now, she'll be killed.
What?
We have to find a way to take her out of the cell. Go.
Okay.
Sir.
I found out where Ok Nyeo is.
Where is she?
She's locked up in the underground cell in Jeonokseo.
Lord Yoon ordered me...
to get rid of her right now.
Sir.
I promised her...
that I'll keep her alive.
Must we kill her?
If we don't kill her,
you and I will be killed.
- Treasurer Ji. - Gosh.
You scared me.
Why are you here again?
It's urgent.
Are you out of mind?
How dare you bring someone here?
If we don't take Ok Nyeo out of Jeonokseo right now,
she'll be killed.
What?
Who... Who are you?
Oh, there they are.
Hello, Sir.
She's there.
- Show us to the cell. - Okay.
Open the door! Hurry!
Ok Nyeo.
Sir?
- What are you doing here? - We have no time to waste.
- Get changed. - Sorry?
What happened?
What happened here?
Where is Ok Nyeo?
I have no idea what happened here.
I checked her here a few days ago.
- Is there... - Gosh.
any other way out from here?
No. No, Sir.
Search in and out of Jeonokseo!
- Yes, Sir. - Yes, Sir.
You.
How will you explain this to Lord Yoon?
- How are you going to explain this? - Goodness.
You know that...
you told a lie to Lord Yoon.
What are you going to do now?
How are you going to make up for this mess?
My goodness.
This way.
Find those close to Ok Nyeo and interrogate them thoroughly.
And kill Ok Nyeo when you find her!
- Hurry up! - Yes, Sir!
Tae Won.
- Are you okay? - Gosh.
Find those close to Ok Nyeo and interrogate them thoroughly.
And kill Ok Nyeo when you find her!
Whatever happens,
never mention Lord Yoon.
Do you understand?
Then, you can live.
I'll do anything it takes to keep you alive.
Ok Nyeo, we should hurry.
Let's go, Ok Nyeo.
Did you kill her?
When we arrived at Jeonokseo,
she wasn't there.
What is that again?
I think she escaped.
What? She escaped?
You useless idiots.
Hey, come here.
Sir! Please spare me!
Sir!
How brazen!
What? You want me to spare your life?
I'm truly sorry.
- I know what I did was wrong. - At least you know that.
Listen, you fool.
Did I ask you to find that witch?
Did I ever ask you where she was?
Or did I beg you...
to kill her for me?
You told me that you're keeping Ok Nyeo.
You voluntarily told me...
that you're keeping her at Jeonokseo, didn't you?
But what are you trying to do here now?
Are you trying to tease me?
Are you fooling with me now?
Listen. I'm Yoon Won Hyung.
Lord Yoon. Of course that's not what I'm doing.
That's not my intention. Never!
- Please don't get me wrong. - What is it, then?
What is this now? Tell me.
You scum. Tell me.
No! Please...
Who do you think you are?
Gosh, we're in deep trouble.
Bring her!
Bring her to me, you scum!
You rat. Hey, go and bring Ok Nyeo.
Bring her to me immediately!
Come. It's this way.
Whenever I'm wanted by the Police Bureau,
I come here and stay at this hideout.
You should lay low for the next little while.
Go into the Capital...
and find out what is going on inside those walls.
Okay. I'll also bring some food for you.
All right.
You'll find some barley left in the kitchen.
You should eat it if you're hungry.
Okay, thanks.
I'll be back soon.
- Okay. Be safe. - Thank you.
Ok Nyeo.
I need to know at this point.
Why are they trying to kill you?
I need to know the reason.
Tell me.
What should I do...
You scum. What is it, then?
What can I do?
- Goodness. - Treasurer Ji.
Oh, yes.
Come here.
- Did you see Chief this morning? - Yes.
Did something happen to him?
He looked so beaten up.
My goodness.
- Did he ask for me? - He did, of course.
What did you tell him?
I said exactly what you told me to say. I said I haven't seen you...
since you left Jeonokseo last night.
Great. Thanks for doing that.
Yes.
You only die once.
All right. Bring it on.
My goodness.
- What should I do? - Goodness gracious.
Ouch, it hurts.
Look at you!
What happened to your face?
Sir Jung.
What happened to you?
Did something bad happen?
You look so beaten up.
It's none of your business.
Just get back to work.
But still...
What are you doing? I told you to get back to work!
We're just worried about you.
Worry about yourself, you fool.
Okay, all right.
Officer Lee, let's go.
- What a nuisance! - What's wrong with him?
What's taking this fool so long?
Gosh, I'm in pain.
You scum! Where's Ok Nyeo?
Where is she right now?
Pardon me? What are you talking about?
Why are you asking me where she is?
You know that she is locked up...
- in the underground cell now. - What?
The last time I saw her...
was when I went down there last night to give her food.
Did something happen to her?
You rat. Don't you know that she has disappeared?
Come again?
What do you mean? Ok Nyeo disappeared?
Where did she go, then?
How would I know?
I have no idea, either.
Seriously?
Well...
You and I are the only ones...
who know about her being locked up in that underground cell.
If you don't know where she is,
who else would know?
Well, that's...
I'm not sure.
Sir.
You look horrible by the way.
What in the world happened to you?
Tell me. What is going on?
Where is Ok Nyeo right now?
I don't know, either. I said I have no idea.
I don't have a single clue!
It looks like...
she escaped from the prison.
Pardon me? She escaped?
Gosh.
Then someone must have helped her escape.
Well...
Sir.
What is it?
- Sir, please tell me. - I didn't help her!
- Please, Sir. - Get out!
Get out of my sight!
My goodness.
Gosh, that fool.
He has such a nasty temper,
but he's actually so stupid. He's unbelievably dumb.
Goodness.
What an idiot.
The chief is such an idiot.
She's guilty of treason.
Wasn't she a warden at Jeonokseo?
- She's so young. - She escaped from the prison.
- What did she do, exactly? - Ouch! That hurt!
Tell me.
- You know that girl, don't you? - Sorry?
I know who she is. She's Ok Nyeo, the warden at Jeonokseo.
By the way, why is she wanted by the Police?
I don't really know.
The Police Bureau is in a state of emergency because of her though.
- Why is that? - Everyone from...
all the judicial authorities are looking for her.
The Police Bureau must catch her first.
That is the order from the commissioner.
If I catch her, I'll get a reward...
as well as a promotion. I'll become so successful.
Aren't you close friends with her?
- Sorry? - Do you know where she might be?
I have no idea. How would I know that?
Is that so?
If you find out where she is, tell me right away.
Then you won't have to live hand to mouth any more.
Yes, Sir.
How am I going to catch this girl?
Please don't be too concerned.
We put up composite sketches of her all over the Capital.
We are also offering a huge amount of reward,
so I'm sure we'll catch her soon.
If that little rat...
ends up telling the Queen everything she knows,
we won't be able to handle what will happen afterwards.
Nan Jung.
You should go to the Palace and meet with the Queen.
Me?
Why?
You really don't know why?
She refuses to talk to me, so you should meet with her.
Please find out what she is thinking.
Do you think she will want to talk to me...
when she refuses to see you?
You ought to meet with her.
Even if you have to beg her on your knees,
you must have an audience with her.
By the way,
why is she so obsessed with Park Tae Soo?
I should at least have an idea...
so that I can persuade her.
It goes back a long time.
Before she was chosen as the Queen,
she and Park Tae Soo talked about getting married.
I beg your pardon?
My guess is that...
she probably still has feelings for that fellow, Park Tae Soo.
If that is not the case,
none of what is going on right now makes any sense.
Have you found out where she is?
No, we haven't yet.
I heard that Lord Yoon...
is using the Police Bureau to find her.
He must be trying...
to keep her lips sealed.
You must find her first.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, Jung Nan Jung is asking to have an audience with you.
I do not want to meet her. Tell her to leave.
Yes, Your Majesty.
It doesn't look like you can see her today.
I said I do not want to see her.
I apologise. She said that she has something important to tell you.
You should leave.
Your Majesty.
Lord Yoon and I would like to know what we did wrong.
Please tell me.
I shouldn't have to tell you.
You must know already.
Your Majesty.
I really have no idea...
what you're talking about.
You will find out...
when the truth comes out.
Your Majesty.
Your Majesty!
What?
Her Majesty's wrath...
is much worse than you expected.
It won't be easy to console her.
What do you suggest we do?
We have only one option.
That is to kill Ok Nyeo...
and shut her up.
Ok Nyeo.
The King sent us some food.
The night,
we enjoyed the banquet.
I found out...
there was a secret underground cell...
in Jeonokseo.
In there...
was a man called Park Tae Soo.
He'd been there for 20 years.
What did he do...
to deserve that sentence?
He was to be executed for treason.
He said...
he didn't know why he wasn't.
When he was younger,
he used to be...
a spy.
After we met,
he taught me how to fight.
I even took the test...
to work at the Police Bureau.
I failed.
I did much better than anyone else who had applied.
I failed...
because...
they wanted me...
to become a spy.
Chief Kang Sun Ho.
He picked you.
Yes.
My first mission...
was to assassinate the Ming envoy.
That's why...
I disguised myself as an interpreter...
and joined your team.
The head eunuch died,
and you accomplished your mission.
So...
why did you go to prison?
Why are they trying to kill you?
During the mission,
Park Tae Soo...
died.
No.
He was killed...
by a fellow spy.
Right before he died,
he told me that...
his death was a plot set up by Lord Yoon.
Lord Yoon Won Hyung?
Yes.
I was sent to prison...
because I was blamed...
for Master Park's death.
They said my mistake...
led to his death.
Why is it your fault?
I don't know why.
For some political reason,
I was told I had to take the blame.
If I admitted that...
I got Master Park killed,
he said I could live.
I believed that and waited.
Those people...
tried to kill me.
Spies...
take pride...
in serving our country,
and we're well-rewarded.
A lot of people apply for the job.
Master Park told me...
never...
to become a spy.
I went against him...
to become a spy...
because I was immature.
I apologise for the trouble...
I caused you.
I'm very sorry.
Don't blame yourself.
It's their fault for using you.
You did nothing wrong.
Those people...
tried to kill me.
Get into Jeonokseo's underground cell...
and kill Ok Nyeo.
Find those close to Ok Nyeo and interrogate them thoroughly.
And kill Ok Nyeo when you find her!
I apologise for the trouble...
I caused you.
I'm very sorry.
(The Flower in Prison)
What did I do...
that I must become a fugitive?
I can't clear my name.
What should I do?
If she is to survive, I need to meet her.
Keep an eye on him.
Meeting him now is like nudging a beehive.
Don't meet him yet. Don't trust anyone.
I am Yoon Tae Won.
I'm here to meet Lord Yoon.
Yoon Tae Won? I will kill him myself.
Who is she?
How do you know her?
The woman he was with.
I know who she is.
Are you Ok Nyeo?
Tell me in detail what really happened.
