Episode 6

These horses are all prized possessions of His Majesty, my father. Aren't they?

There was a royal order by the King for you to clean this place and to groom the horses.

What?

Instead of the tight and cramped space of a jail cell..

It will be much better.

Anyways, what should I do first?

♬ The closer I get, the more the tears fall. ♬

♬ Even if I extend my hand, I can't reach you. ♬

♬ Even if I desire you ... it can't be fulfilled.. ♬

♬ Even if I want to abandon you , I can't dispose of you. ♬

♬ Even if it seems like I can reach you, a person like you is far away. ♬

♪ You are my love, my everything. ♪

♪ Even if it pains me to death ... and my heart is bruised. ♪

♪ From a distance I will always wait for you. ♪

♪ Because of that one word that I couldn't say to you, ♪

♪ Because of that one step that I coulnd't take to get closer to you, ♪

♪ I can see you before my eyes. ♪

♪ As my tears flow down ♪

♬I realize that I miss you even more... My love... ♬

♪ Do you know that? All of me is only yours. ♪

♬ My tears... ♬

I will give you five days from today.

You must find the culprit within that time.

Thank you for your grace!

But don't forget...

If you're not able to prove anything in five days...

you will be made a commoner.

Therefore, if you would like to continue living as my son,

you must find the real culprit!

Yes! I...

will find the culprit for sure!

Day 1 This isn't our first business transaction...

so, I'll be generous and pay you ten yuan.

Mr. Jang, did you also hear ten Nyang?

Yoo Jeong Hwa Chief Censor Yoo Ja Sin's daughter

Yes, My Lady. It is ten Nyang.

Ten Nyang... ?

Unless you're an unscrupulous herbal store owner,

you know the value of dried dodder seeds, which are normally harvested during the summer...

You should know that.

That is why..

although, it's seemingly enticing, I'm not sure about a summer plant in winter.

How can you guarantee the quality of this herb?

Let's go, Mr. Jang.

I have personally grown this herb in my green house with water and fertilizers.

I will not bear his insult to disregard my herbs!

If you honestly feel like that, what about fifteen Nyang?

I'll give you five more Nyang.

Fifty Nyang.

I will not consider anything below that amount.

Wow! I was really shocked when he agreed to fifty Nyang.

Japanese dodder plant herb is worth a fortune during the winter season, so he probably would have paid hundreds more.

I did cut him some slack due to doing business with him before.

Do you know who this is?

Prince Gwang Hae is the second son of His Majesty!

Anyway ... even if he is the Prince, I don't know the answer, so how can I reply?

You, stupid punk!

You sold us the Red Arrow but now you are giving us the runaround?

Compared to his face, the distance between his nose and ears are spread apart.

Therefore, he is leading two lives with two wives.

Also, he has the greedy pouched nose and a triangular mouth.

Without a doubt, this man will do anything for his personal gain, even if he has to deceive others.

You can stop now.

He must be feeling uneasy, because it was a stolen item.

Stolen item?

Why are you accusing an innocent person as a thief?

It is not such a big deal for a man to womanize, but..

you are keeping many women.

So, you must need an extensive amount of cash?

Also, in front of your first wife...

are you like a helpless mouse being pursued by a cat?

How did you. . .

Yeong Sin, let's meet with his wife on our way out.

What?!

From whom did you steal the Red Arrows?

A while back,

I only salvaged what was left at the Nodeul harbor. I'm telling the truth.

Because they said the Red Arrow was an expensive item, I got it and sold it. That's all.

Then, you're saying that there was an illegal business transaction at the place of Nodeul harbor, right?

On the day of the illegal business transaction, there must have been an attack by the elusive ones.

The arrow was shot by them, correct?

How did...

Did you say the elusive ones?

Yes.

They always show up when there is sizable traffic.

They will strip you of everything, both money and goods.

However, those illegitimate merchants can't report it to the authorities due to their illegal acts.

So they just suffer and moan.

Who are the illegal merchants?

How can I possibly know that?

I.. honestly do not know that!

It is probably Jang Soo Tae.

He makes good money by trading in the black market.

Jang Soo Tae? . . .

You mean the Jang Soo Tae of Jangtongbang (center district in Hanyang)?

Yes, indeed.

Anyhow, who are you, My Lady? How do you know this kind of matter so well? Tell me?

I'm only a petty herbal merchant who was just passing by.

I became well informed, due to many encounters with merchants.

Anyway, how come you don't reveal your identity to the Prince?

It's not necessary to reveal something that will come out, anyway.

However, how can that number one playboy,

who is accused of plotting to kill his brother,

be so full of energy? Wasn't his tenacity and laid back demeanor very different and convincing?!

His physique and face are not too shabby either!

My Lady!

I have prepared the real culprit for you.

I bought a man who is supposed to be executed soon. Report him as the culprit.

Hyungnim, how can you accuse him of a high treason, when he is innocent?!

I've already told you that ... the man will be executed, anyway.

How do you plan on catching the suspect who has disappeared into thin air?

There is something else that you can help me with.

Brother, can I borrow your private soldiers?

Prince Gwang Hae might lose his position.

I'm so ecstatic!

He has harassed my business for a long time!

You know that Byeong Poong (folding screen) Master can't rely on his connection any more.

We should get him and harass the living daylights out of him. What do you think?!

Yes, I forgot about that punk.

Go and get him immediately!

I will personally cane him (rolled in straw mat)!

Which punk are you?!

Did you get your senses back?

Prince Gwang ... Hae?

What is happening?

Why am I rolled in a straw mat?

I heard you were going to torture

one innocent face-reader by rolling him up with the straw mat.

So, I wanted to punish you

for your sin.

Oh, that was...

Yeong Sin...

Yes!

I was joking.

Really, so unlike a man who should have some presence getting all scared so quickly.

- Release him. - Yes.

A while ago, when you were doing illegal business transactions at the harbor,

I heard that someone stole all the possessions.

Oh, what do you mean illegal business transactions? That's not true.

I already know everything, so don't try to lie.

If I wanted you to be punished for that, I would have taken you to the police.

I wouldn't have worked this hard to take you.

If you help me,

all the illegal business transactions that you were involved in until now,

I will let pass.

Welcome, Your Majesty.

Why were you looking for me last night?

Your Majesty,

Prince Gwang Hae is not a boy to hurt his brother.

Don't you know that better than anybody?

That's right. I know him better than anybody.

That's why I gave him five days

to catch the criminal, in order to observe him.

Yes?

You must know by now.

Gwang Hae lost his brightness after that incident three years ago.

If Gwang Hae fails to discover anything before the case is over,

he will be proving his worthlessness.

On the contrary, if he finds out the real criminal or the truth,

and proves his innocence...

he will be proving how he pretended to be worthless before me.

So you cannot do anything to help Gwang Hae.

Coming to see me, secretly meeting Ministers...

and especially when I am with a concubine,

be more careful.

Day 2

- Aren't you Physiognomist Go? - Yes, Your Highness.

You should have worries across your face by this point,

but your energy from your face seems to have gotten stronger.

How can that be?

If at the tail end of the eye turns bright yellow,

they say that you will meet someone special soon.

Your Highness, your eyes show unusual yellow color.

I guess you are about to meet a woman.

In my current status, a woman...

Just hearing that makes me feel better.

Oh! Physiognomist Go.

Seeing how everything is turning out badly for me,

I think it may be because I did not get acupuncture treatment from you.

When time allows, give me an acupuncture treatment.

Change my bad facial features to good ones.

Subtitles brought to you by The Face Readers @ Viki

Oh my! After applying some makeup, your eyes that were the size of ant poop

have gotten quite bigger!

Ga Hee, do it for me too!

- Me, too! - Please Ga Hee...

What are you all doing here?

Get out right now!

Let me see your arm.

At one point, my heart was pounding

without knowing that you're a girl with such fine skin.

Ga Hee,

do you really have to do this dangerous job?

Can't you start living like a lady?

I got an order not to use the secret meeting room for awhile.

The Chief said that?

You really won't tell me?

Where did you get hurt?

Pour me a cup.

Her lines are beautiful.

Isn't my older sister pretty?

The alcohol tastes quite good.

Here, everyone, empty your cups!

Take care of these men well!

Yes, Elder.

Yes, pour me another cup.

You should get a cup as well.

Yes, let me have a drink.

- I will pour you a cup. - Yes, pour me a drink.

The alcohol tastes nice.

Yes, you should get a cup.

She's complete beauty!

Do you have enough money?

The price of seeing Song Wol's dance

is quite expensive.

As much as I'll die under the Giseng house fence,

I have enough money.

You might hit me with that.

- Have another drink from me. - Sure.

I guess you have great business skills.

How did you make such a great amount of money?

As I was doing business for a few years in China,

I learned how to distinguish between good and bad.

I brought in some money worthy goods recently.

Isn't selling other country's products

illegal?

How can you get rich if you

follow everything that the country prohibits?

Then, what did you do with all those goods?

In Jangtongbang, there is a merchant who thinks on a large scale.

Enjoy the food.

Tonight at the Nodeul dock, there will be a deal.

Watch your mouths.

If the information gets leaked again and ruins the plan,

I cannot guarantee...

the safety of anyone. Okay?

Yes, sir!

What are you worrying about? It's tonight.

We don't have time!

Let's do it, Chief!

I am pretty sure they will trade with silver bullion this time.

According to Song Weol at Jinjoo House, the person who provided the items to Jang Soo Tae

spoke of illegal dealing.

Then, it's only a matter of time before the word get to the police's ears.

- We should let this slide. - Seriously!

Don't we live as if we have our foot in a coffin anyway?

Why are you guys sparing yourself all of a sudden?

Tonight,

we will gather here.

But what he said is reasonable, too.

Just in case, other members

will wait in ambush near us.

Tonight, I will capture you no matter what.

Your Highness!

It's ready.

Everyone has to have their wits about them for tonight's deal.

You worked hard coming this far.

I'm happy that our deal is being completed.

I am very happy about this.

Ga Hee,

I just heard something strange.

What is it?

All of Im Hae's men are headed toward Nodeul dock.

They just stopped drinking and left.

Wasn't the harbor the place where the illegal business transaction was going to happen?

Everyone, escape!

That person is not a foreigner.

It's a trap. Run away!

Don't lose anyone, not even one!

Where are you? Show your face.

Is Gwang Hae the person who is searching for you?

I got caught.

Everything has been discovered.

This was a trap to catch me.

Ga Hee!

Ga Hee!

Ga Hee!

Ga Hee!

Ga Hee!

Were you here? Sadly, I could not find a man wearing a bamboo hat whom you told us about.

Although most of them escaped, we caught one of them. We should be able to find that man soon.

Why are you like that?

It was Ga Hee.

Yes?

The person who tried to shoot me...

was Ga Hee.

Your Highness, why are you like this?

How can a person who is dead...

I said that I saw her!

That arrow from the hunting ground

was not aimed toward Sin Seong,

it was aimed at me.

Ga Hee is alive.

To kill me...

she came back alive.

Your Highness.

Third Day

What is the identity of your group?

Is it the Daedong Society?

Here, here. Let's go in.

You must know Kim Ga Hee.

Where is she now?

I don't know.

She wears a bamboo hat and shoots Red Arrows.

Do you really not know?

I do not know.

My intention is not to harm Daedong Society.

I am a person who is indebted to her. Please,

help me so that I can meet her.

Subtitles brought to you by The Face Readers @ Viki

Did you just say Daedong Society?

Yes.

Although I didn't hear the whole thing,

Prince Gwang Hae clearly said it was the Daedong Society.

The Red Arrow found at the hunting scene

is made from red bamboo only grown in Juk-Do and is used by Daedong Society members.

Then, are you saying the Daedong Society dared to seek revenge on my son for what happened in Kichuk Year?

Not everything has been confirmed yet.

I want you, Chief of the Royal Guards, to immediately find others who are involved.

Of course, Gwang Hae must not know about this matter.

Do you understand?

Yes, Your Majesty. I will accept your command.

Somebody even tailed me.

We have to quickly go save my brother. At this rate, he is going to die.

Chief, let's go save my brother who is held at Prince Im Hae's house.

The reason why Oh Gil got tailed is...

because Gwang Hae was going to trap us.

Even the royal guards and the police bureau didn't find any traces of us but

he immediately found us.

Moving hastily is dangerous.

Then, do we just sit here and watch?

We have to first save Sam Gi and then consider.

To tell you the truth...

Gwang Hae will not be able to kill Sam Gil right now.

Gwang Hae's ultimate goal is to capture us.

So, by using Sam Gil...

he will try to capture us.

Why are you guys doing this?

Move away!

They are not here.

Search it thoroughly.

Yes!

Welcome, sir. What kind of book are you looking for?

Search it.

Yes.

Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this. Why are you doing this?

Let's go.

Yes.

Until things get quiet, everybody will go into hiding.

Everybody will be prohibited from coming here.

Sam Gil...

I will get him.

Location provided by Korean Folk Village

Chief.

I knew you would come.

I knew you were going to come and save me.

Sam Gil ... I...

didn't come to save you.

Chief.

If you want me to, I guess I could save you.

However, if you escape from here,

Gwang Hae will again follow your trace and chase Daedong Society.

3 years ago, I saved you from the Japanese pirates from certain death.

Your life that I saved is as painful and precious

as my own life.

Already in my heart, I saved you hudreds of times.

But now, hundreds of Daedong Society members' lives are at stake...

and I cannot save you.

You...

make the choice.

Did you...

bring the poison?

Those people already knew we were of the Daedong Society.

And he asked where Ga Hee was.

Is that so?

My younger brother...

I'll entrust him with you.

Don't worry.

Oh Gil is...

like my own brother.

I will certainly

make sure your death

will not be in vain.

The Last Day

He must have had poison with him.

Ga Hee was alive.

But...

what am I to do?

I want to save her...

and I want to live as well.

The promised 5 days have passed.

So,

as you said you would, did you find the culprit?

Shamefully, I was not able to find the culprit.

I did find a culprit by tracing the Red Arrow but

the person killed himself.

In the end, I was not able to find out the truth.

You could not find out?

Then, are you saying it's okay for me to oust you from your position?

There is a rumor going around that the red arrow is...

the arrow of the Daedong Society, which is stained with the blood and resentment of the deceased members.

You probably heard about it, too.

What do you think about that?

Initially, I did suspect the Daedong Society

but it turned out to be just rumors.

Hence, it wasn't done by the Daedong Society?

Yes, indeed. Father.

However...

I will ask you for the last time.

Sincerely, you don't have anything else to say to your father?

There is nothing else to say. Father.

Chief of the Royal Guards, are you out there?!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Who did Prince Gwang Hae catch at Nodeul harbor?

Members of Daedong.

On the corpse found in Prince Im Hae's private residence,

I clearly saw Daedong Society's mark.

Father!

I wanted to hear it straight from you!

I wanted to hear you say that the person who shot the arrow at Sin Seong was a member of the Daedong Society.

They are the remnants of traitors!

How dare you to cover up for a bunch of traitors in front of me?!

Father! They are not a bunch of traitors.

They exist to only hold a small resentment in their hearts...

They are just citizens who are quite pitiful and foolish.

You must embrace their broken hearts by showing some grace and compassion!

They were not trying to kill Sin Seong.

They were also not dreaming of committing treason!

You are also a TRAITOR! Because you're covering for the TRAITORS!

You are no longer my SON or

the Prince of Joseon!

Tell the Chief Royal Secretary to come in!

I hereby abolish Prince Gwang Hae's title and

demote him to a commoner!

Your Highness! Your Highness!

What did you just say?

Did you say His Majesty made a command to

depose Prince Gwang Hae in the end?

Yes, Your Majesty.

What should we do?

He decreed that Prince Gwang Hae leave first thing tomorrow.

How could such a...

This cannot happen.

This absolutely cannot happen.

I have found out that Prince Gwang Hae was conspiring with traitors

and tried to harm Prince Sin Seong.

Since his crime is so tremendous,

I hereby decree that Prince Gwang Hae will be demoted to a commoner.

Your Majesty, what do you mean Prince Gwang Hae conspired with the traitors?

I am sure there is a misunderstanding!

Please reconsider your decisions with the 3 offices, and appoint an inspector.

Let us investigate thoroughly, Your Majesty.

His crime is already very clear.

What more do you exactly want me to investigate?

Those traitors are the remaining members from the Daedong Society!

They probably plotted this to get revenge on the incident in the year of the yellow ox (1589).

They must be judged and punished strictly!

I have already made a decision so

do not ask me anymore.

Your Highness, why did you not report the truth?

Are you saying you are okay with being expelled like this?

Yeong Sin...

I am more concerned about Ga Hee right now.

My father knows everything.

Surely...

he will capture the Daedong Society.

She tried to kill you!

She caused this mess, yet why are you only concerned about her?!

I actually feel more free now that I get to leave this stifling palace!

Since I am an unfilial son, who lied to his father...

I deserve this punishment.

Your Majesty, banishing Prince Gwang Hae

is a very cruel punishment.

Please rescind your decree.

Do you think that I am

making Gwang Hae a commoner

because I hate him?

What kind of father hates his son?

Wife, all of this

happened because you couldn't have a child.

What?

If you had given birth to a son that would continue on my line,

I wouldn't have treated my children like this.

Since I have no heir, I have to choose a Crown Prince from the concubines' offspring.

Because there is no prince who suits me, installing a crown prince is being delayed.

In that time, all of my children are fighting each other.

This is all because I don't have a Royal Prince.

My sin of not producing a child....

How can I express it all in words?

You, who did not chase out this criminal

and let me stay at the palace,

cannot be repaid, even if I die.

Your Majesty...

Just chase me out instead.

You know for yourself that Gwang Hae is innocent.

He is the one who threw me away!

He deceived me!

His real sin is lying to me.

So you...

should stop defending that kind of rascal...

and go away.

Open your eyes!

Hyung! Open your eyes!

How can you leave me alone? Hyung!

How can you leave me alone?

Open your eyes!

The person who killed Sam Gil...

is Prince...

Gwang Hae?

Sam Gil...

carried all the burden himself.

Brother,

I need to meet Prince Gwang Hae.

How are you going to meet him?

If I don't meet him, we will all be in danger.

This will end,

only if I'm captured by him.

The reason for him looking for you...

does not exist anymore.

What are you saying?

Prince Gwang Hae...

has become a commoner.

A commoner?

Prince Gwang Hae

became a commoner?

So don't act stupidly

just because you are blaming yourself.

Because he is not a prince anymore,

there is no reason for him to

look for you.

Was the way you lost your status

by not turning me in?

You must have many things to prepare because of leaving.

Why are you here?

I had something to ask my brother before I leave the palace.

If you are asking for our Sin Seong's forgiveness,

it's okay.

Aren't you already receiving the punishment?

I'm not here to beg for forgiveness.

As an older brother,

I wanted to teach a last lesson to my younger brother.

Sin Seong,

although nobody in this world listened to my words,

you will know that...

I...

lied with my mouth.

I'm going to cover the truth and leave the palace.

But there is something you must remember.

The Crown Prince position will be Im Hae's.

So...

you may not desire his position.

Gwang Hae, the matter of Crown Prince is not something that you should be talking about.

Perhaps...

Sin Seong, if you have any trace of desire,

and hurt someone with your selfish desires...

I will never forgive you.

I never knew that you talked this much.

How did you live till now?

However, today is the last day...

this kind of rudeness will be spoken.

Gwang Hae has conspired with the traitors and

tried to harm his brother, Sin Seong.

Trying to kill one's own bloodline is an atrocious act.

With the people who were traitors,

he conspired with them.

These crimes are as big as a mountain.

My physical existence is by my parents.

Every hair and every part, I got from my parents.

When unpleasant events obstruct your sight,

not being crumbled and staying standing,

is the first thing for being a filial son.

That's right!

To rise...

To rise for fame...

Achieve fame and prestige, and leave my name behind.

Be good to your parents.

That's right!

Standing straight and cleansing your body,

by your famous name, making your parents stand out is

the correct way of being filial.

You did well.

It's all because you helped me.

Here, this is your reward.

You rascal!

You rascal, you rascal!

Come over here.

Therefore, by removing all of Gwang Hae's authority and stature as a Prince,

he is pronounced as a commoner.

I didn't abandon you.

You abandoned me.

You lied to your father.

Father, please stay healthy.

Don't suffer because of me any more.
