Chief!

Episode 2

- Chief! - Chief!

Today, Jangsu's position is empty.

Woodae and Youngdu were seized.

And Seokho's son lost his father.

Someone is murdering the nobles and framing it on the Sword Fraternity.

Their plot is devious and fearsome.

Because of them, we have lost our brothers.

We also had to watch as our fellow lowborns were dragged away.

We must find out who is behind this!

It will be a difficult and arduous fight.

We may all meet our end in this fight.

But...

I know all of us will lay down our lives.

Do you remember the first day we picked up our swords?

It was the day our mothers were beaten.

It was the day our sisters were raped.

It was the day our younger siblings were sold off like cattle!

That was the day we buried our fury in our hearts.

That was the day we swore that we will never be treated unfairly again!

We will not be accused as criminals simply for being lowborn.

We will not allow ourselves to be killed simply for being lowborn!

This is why we must do all we can to find out who is really behind this.

We will rescue all of our brothers!

Dong Yi!

- She's not there either. - Let's go!

This is a busy street. Someone must have seen Dong Yi.

All right. Let's split up.

Cha Chun Soo

Dong Ju, don't worry. I'm sure she's safe.

Choi Dong Ju

Are you sure this is the house where the little girl is?

Yes, I'm sure.

What is the status?

- We lost her. - What? You lost her?

Yes, the corpse-handler disappeared after fighting off the assassins.

And the girl was taken by some unknown men.

Unknown men? What do you mean by that?

Who could have taken her?

- Come with me. - Yes, Sir.

My Lady, I've brought the girl.

- Is this the girl you mentioned? - Yes, My Lady.

She is a pretty girl.

- Do you know why you are here? - Yes, My Lady.

I heard you wanted to see me because of the New Year's Greetings.

That's right. My daughter is marrying into a noble family.

I took great care to select a girl for the New Year's Greeting,

But she has come down with measles.

I was told you were quite intelligent and that is why I have asked to see you.

Thank you, My Lady! I won't disappoint you!

- Teach her the greeting. - Yes, My Lady.

What is your name?

I am Choi Dong Yi. I live in the Banchon Village.

Banchon Village? Then you are from the lowborn class?

What is this?

Didn't I say I want a freeborn child?

Yes, My Lady...

But there is no freeborn child that fits your requirements.

She is lowborn, but she is literate and is said to be very intelligent...

Enough!

- I have heard enough of your excuses! - Please forgive me!

There must be no mistakes for this New Year's Greeting.

Send the girl back!

My Lady, I am lowborn but I can do it well!

Please give me a chance! I beg you!

- What are you doing? - Yes, My Lady! Get up...!

Please, My Lady! I can do it exactly how you want it!

I've already learnt the greeting and practiced it several times!

Since I'm already here, please let me read it to you!

- How dare you...! - Stop.

I will allow her to read it.

She's walked this far in this cold night.

Thank you, My Lady! Thank you!

Then...

Read the Korean vernacular. Hurry up so you can go!

Yes, Sir.

We respectfully send our new year's greetings.

We wish you good health and long life.

Is your business thriving?

We wish you prosperity and ....

... abundant...

Stop. That's enough.

I thought you were literate. Is that all you can read?

No, My Lady. I can read everything.

But the Chinese characters here are wrong.

What? Wrong?

This character should be replaced with the one that means "raise".

And shouldn't this character be "auspicious", and not "morning"?

Show me.

How could you make such a mistake?

Forgive me, My Lady! I don't know Chinese very well!

You....!

So not only are you literate, but you can read chinese too?

Yes, My Lady.

- Do you want to see the mirror? - Yes!

It's so beautiful!

I heard that this family gives silk clothes to the servant who does the greeting.

- Is that true? - Yes, it is.

If you do the greeting well, these clothes will be yours.

Now take them off.

I'll tailor it to fit you by the day after tomorrow.

Thank you! Thank you!

I'm going to do the greeting!

I'll be getting silk clothes too! What luck!

This year must be a lucky year for me!

I'm going to brag about this to Gaeduara!

- Brother! - You're unharmed! You're safe!

What do you mean by that?

And how did you know I was here? Did Gaeduara tell you?

I'll tell you the details later. Let's go, it's dangerous here.

- The girl has disappeared. - But she came this way.

Who are you?

Who are you, and why are you following her?

Get him!

Who sent you? Speak!

The first division will head to Sangban Crossing, Angukdong, and Gaedong,

... and investigate the area for anything concerning the three dead nobles.

The second division will monitor the movements of the dead nobles' guards.

Yes, Chief.

The third and fourth division will monitor the government officials.

Find out if anyone is involved in anything suspicious.

This is most certainly tied to a political plot.

Do not overlook even the tiniest of details, do you understand?

Yes, Chief.

Make a move!

This is an inside job!

Gather all those who were here at the time of Kang Jung Hyuk's death!

Send replacements to take their place and get them all in front of me!

- Yes, Sir! - Yes, Sir!

- Sir. - Why are you alone?

I told you to go get corpse-handler, Choi.

I can't find him, Sir.

That's not all.

His daughter hasn't returned home either.

What?

- You found Dong Yi? - Yes, Chief. She was unharmed.

Dong Ju has taken her to the captain's house.

- Please come with me. - No, it's all right.

- But you should see Dong Yi... - No need for that.

It's enough that she's safe.

We don't have time to waste.

The ones behind this are those with strength and power.

We don't know what they'll do.

The assassins were killed?

And by a single strike?

I don't think he is a simple corpse-handler.

Please forgive me, but we will find him and his daughter.

Fine. You are not one to make mistakes.

I will put my faith in your words.

Yes, Uncle.

But it appears that I entrusted you with something too difficult for you to handle.

I am to blame for thinking you could handle it.

- No, Uncle. I will... - No.

I am offering to take some off your hands. So don't turn me down.

There must be no more mistakes made, don't you agree?

Here! Everyone look up!

Hwang Ju Shik

The Dowager's Palace has summoned an orchestra!

Eleven men will be needed.

- You! - Yes!

You, you, you! Figure it out yourselves!

Yes, Sir!

- Musician Choi! - Dong Ju!

- Are you leaving for a performance? - Yes, but why are you here?

Isn't this your day off?

Would it be possible if I went instead of you?

What?

Why is that open?

Are you all right?

You idiot! We could have been injured!

Please forgive me! It slipped out of my hand.

Sir, please forgive me for asking, but why is the Tribunal looking for them?

- Do you know them? - Yes, they look familiar.

That is the man who murdered a guard, and that's his daughter.

- If you see them, report them to us. - Yes, of course.

- Let's go! - Yes, Sir!

What is this?

I asked you a question!

How can you say Choi Hyo Won killed Kang Jung Hyuk?

Did you take over this case so you can make up this nonsense?

It was reported that around the time of Officer Kang's murder,

... Choi Hyo Won disappeared and he is still missing.

Are you serious? He didn't kill Kang Jung Hyuk.

- The murder was an inside job! - I heard that's what you think.

The evidence is the name tag, which Choi Hyo Won's daughter brought.

And?

Do you understand that Choi Hyo Won used his own daughter to kill Kang Jung Hyuk?

Are you still going to insist that he's unrelated?

Sir...!

This is the work of the Sword Fraternity. All evidence points to them.

Remember that you were the first person to treat them as the perpetrators!

Yes, you're right. I was the stupid one who arrested them.

That is why I am going to put things right.

What?

I will not allow the Tribunal to accuse innocent people for this crime!

Allow the Tribunal? You have a rash tongue!

How dare you speak that way of the Tribunal?

If you are a Police Chief, focus on police work.

The Police Bureau and the Tribunal are distinctly different.

Yes, they are. So don't order me around!

Are you sure we should do nothing about him?

Suh Yong Gi is the son of the Chief State Councilor.

Although he has retired from government, he is still very close to His Majesty.

- It's better to let him be. - But...

Let it go. Everything will be fine by tomorrow.

- Did you speak to His Majesty? - Yes, Your Excellency.

What did he say? Did he give his approval?

Yes.

His Majesty has given us his approval to handle the Sword Fraternity.

Lord Jung In Gook

Thank you.

We were so worried that the Westerners would be blamed for these incidents.

Thank you for protecting us!

Protecting you? Not at all.

The culprits are the Sword Fraternity.

Would we use this opportunity to attack the Westerners?

This matter needs to be settled quickly to ensure the stability of our government.

Since the Southerners and Westerners have come to terms,

... that will now be possible.

Of course! Of course it is!

He's still there!

What if you get caught? He said you can't go out!

Who says I can't? I want to go home!

He's acting so strange! Why won't he let me go home?

Let's just go back in.

If I go, my father will beat me to death!

Would you rather be beaten by your father or eat a meat skewer?

What? Meat skewer?

I told you that the New Year's Greeting will be at a banquet!

I was planning on bring food back and share it with you!

Fine. Remember you didn't help me.

Wait a moment, Dong Yi! What do I need to do?

Why didn't you say so earlier?

- Uncle! Uncle! Something happened? - What's going on?

- Gaeduara is...! - Gaeduara?

My belly! My belly!

- What's wrong? - He just started being in pain!

He must have food poisoning!

What? I'll go get a doctor!

No! You can't do that.

Uncle! Gaeduara might die!

My belly! Oh, my belly!

You stay here! I'll go get the doctor!

My belly!

I told you it would work!

Dong Yi, you have to give me a meat skewer!

Don't worry. I'll give you all of them!

- My belly! - Here, let's drink this.

Uncle, that's excrement water!

Excrement water is the best solution for food poisoning!

No, Uncle! I'll go get a doctor!

No, it's all right. Go ahead and drink it.

Hurry and drink up!

What?

Drink up!

Hurry!

Meat skewer...!

You should drink the whole thing!

Father, I'm not sick! Please don't make me drink this!

It's all a lie! I'm not sick!

- What did you say? - Dong Yi, I don't need the meat skewer!

- I don't want to eat it! - You little...!

Gaeduara, you little rascal!

- I'm going to kill you! - Father, please forgive me!

Uncle, it's not his fault! He did it because I wanted to go home!

- Dong Yi! - Uncle, please let me go home.

- I have to do the New Year's Greeting! - You can't go home. Your Father said...

That's enough. I'll tell her myself.

- Chief. - Father! I've been waiting for you!

Follow me inside!

Father...!

What do you mean?

Why can't I go do the New Year's Greeting?

The capital is dangerous for you right now.

You will stay here until I tell you otherwise.

No, I can't! I have to go to the minister's house by 8 am.

I have to give the New Year's Greeting so I can keep the silk clothes!

Why are you challenging me?

I told you no!

Father...!

If you cause trouble and try to leave this place,

I will not forgive you!

Do you understand?

Father!

I just want to wear nice clothes for once and look like a noble young lady!

Please let me go!

Father, please let me go!

Father...! Father....!

Father...!

Please, Father....!

Father...!

Father...!

This is the work of the Sword Fraternity. All evidence points to them.

Remember that you were the first person to treat them as the perpetrators!

- Let's go around. - Yes, Sir.

- Sir! - What are you doing?

Please help me! Sir! Sir!

- How dare you touch him? - Sir! Sir!

Under the Pine Tree by the Red Wall

Under the pine tree by the red wall...

Red wall...

Under the pine tree...

Sir!

You!

You're alive! I'm glad you're safe.

Sir!

So that's what happened.

They are going after you and your daughter too.

Why didn't you come to me before?

It wasn't easy to get to you because I think there is a spy in the Police Bureau.

I'm sorry. I'm to blame for this mess you're in.

Please don't say such things, Sir.

I'm sure you're aware of this, but the Tribunal is looking for you.

- I'll find a place for you to hide... - Sir.

Please don't worry about me.

More importantly, I have something to give you.

To me? What is it?

It is the evidence that I found.

As you can see, the offices of the three dead nobles...

... were investigating fellow Southerners.

Isn't it a strange thing that Southerners would be investigating fellow Southerners?

How could this be?

At first, I thought this was the work of the Westerners.

But this shows that fellow Southerners may be behind this.

What do you think, Father?

Lord Suh Jung Ho

If this is true, this is definitely suspicious.

They are aware that I have been looking to capture the Sword Fraternity.

This case must be reopened, Father. Please help me.

The only person who can meet His Majesty and inform him of these facts is you, Father.

Soong Reung - Gravesite of King Hyunjong (Sukjong's father)

His Majesty left for Soong Reung yesterday.

Tomorrow, he will finish paying his respects.

Then in order to inspect the new soldiers, he will stay overnight at Haenggook.

But since this is an urgent matter, I will leave tomorrow to see him.

Thank you, Father!

But before that, let me ask you one thing.

Are you sure you can trust this man, this corpse-handler?

The Tribunal considers him a murderer who killed a Tribunal Guard.

- If he is lying to you... - No.

That is impossible. He would never do such a thing.

- Is he really so trustworthy? - Yes.

I trust him as much as I trust myself.

What? He disappeared?

Yes, it was a dead end, but he disappeared without a trace!

I asked you to follow him in case he was attacked again.

He must have thought you were dangerous.

Even so, I was surprised that he even knew I was following him.

That's possible since he's nervous.

This is the second report.

Make sure this is delivered to the Chief.

What are you doing there?

What are you doing in the Chief's office?

The... The guard told me to clean the office as it was dirty.

Guard? Which one?

It was Officer Noh.

- Is that so? - Yes, I'll leave since I'm finished.

Wait!

What is that in your hand?

What?

That piece of paper in your hand!

Hand it over.

Hurry!

Halt!

I just want to wear nice clothes for once and look like a noble young lady!

Please let me go!

Chief, did you call for me?

I want to get Dong Yi out of the capital.

What?

I got a message from the Chief this morning.

The Chief State Councilor is going to see His Majesty to tell him the truth.

Those imprisoned will be released,

But I will have to testify at the Police Bureau.

We don't know what will happen in the meantime.

I entrust this to you, Chun Soo.

Yes, Chief.

It's almost 9 am!

- Gaeduara, just help me once... - I said no!

Look at me! I'm black and blue and I'm still burping up excrement!

- I know, but... - No! No, I won't help you!

Father said he would throw me into the outhouse if I helped you!

Sir, I'm here to take Dong Yi.

She's inside.

Dong Yi, it's Chun Soo. We have to go somewhere.

Dong Yi!

Dong Yi.

You're not going to answer me?

Wake up! You have to go somewhere!

Gaeduara!

- Father! - Gaeduara, you rascal!

Father, I'm so sorry!

I just really want to eat the meat skewers!

You mean that was Dong Yi who went out and not you?

Please let me go this once! I'll never do it again!

I'm late! I have to hurry!

You're going to send Dong Yi away from the capital?

Yes.

Chun Soo will bring Dong Yi to Samgae Crossing.

You will take her out of the capital before dawn and take her to Chun's house.

- Yes, Father. - Chief!

Jang sent a secret missive from the Police Bureau!

A secret missive?

Oh no!

Someone is planning an attack on the Chief State Councilor!

This says there is a plan to murder the Councilor on his way to Soong Reung.

But only you and the Chief were aware that the Councilor was headed to Soong Reung!

How did they find out?

How many men are in the mountain hideout?

Nine men.

That's not enough.

Gather the men and inform the Chief of this matter!

Yes, Chief!

The rest will follow me and head for Soong Reung.

- You'll go there yourself? - You can't do that, Chief!

We have no time to waste. The Councilor's life is at stake!

- Are you really that happy? - Of course! I can't even describe it!

It's so light and soft that I feel like I'm going to fly away!

You have a glib tongue for a young girl!

Whose house are we going to? I heard it's a very famous family!

My Lord, shall we rest for a bit?

- We don't have time! Hurry! - Yes, My Lord. Let's hurry!

Where did she go for the New Year's Greeting?

- Is that His Lordship's house? - That's right.

- My Lord, it is I. - What is it?

They are here to do the New Year's Greeting.

New Year's Greeting?

Yes, the 3rd Minister of Personnel has sent a girl to offer the greeting.

Oh, that's right. Send her in.

Yes, My Lord.

- You may enter. - Yes, Sir.

Father!

Where is everyone?

Father! Over there!

Examine them!

They're dead!

How could this be!

Protect yourselves!

Attack! They murdered the Councilor!

Get them all!

We pray that you will enjoy good fortune and happiness...

... and abundant blessings for the new year.

Yes, thank you, my child.

When you return, you will tell the Minister...

We wish him a thousand blessings to him and his family.

Yes, Your Lordship.

- Can you remember all of that? - Yes, of course.

You said that you wish him a thousand blessings to him and his family.

What an intelligent young child! What is your name?

I am Choi Dong Yi.

When your young mistress marries my son,

I will tell her to bring you as her slave.

Please forgive me, Your Lordship, but I am not their slave.

Is that so? You're not a slave?

Yes, I am a lowborn living in Banchon Village.

Banchon? Isn't that a village of corpse-handlers?

Yes, my father is a corpse-handler.

If you have nothing further, I will leave.

Wait a moment.

Did you say your surname was Choi?

Yes, Your Lordship.

Corpse-handler Choi who lives in Banchon...

What is your father's name?

- My father's name? - Yes.

My father is Choi Hyo Won.

Choi Hyo Won?

- Are you really his daughter? - Yes, Your Lordship.

Follow me. Your reward is waiting.

Yes, Sir.

Did you receive good news, Your Lordship?

- Does it look that way? - Yes.

You must have really enjoyed the girl who brought the New Year's greeting.

Yes, you're right.

It is the best greeting I have ever received.

Go the Police Bureau and bring Lieutenant Jang immediately.

What?

Tell him the corpse-handler's daughter is here!

Yes, Your Lordship.

- She's here. - That way! And that way!

- Where is she? - She was right here!

- Here. - Thank you!

I'm going to take it home and share it with Gaeduara, Father and older brother!

She's a young girl named Dong Yi!

She's a young girl named Dong Yi! She's here so find her!

We must seize her no matter what! Do you hear me?

Yes, Sir!

Seize me? Why?

What... what did you just say?

Father was... murdered by the Sword Fraternity?

Sir... Sir...

Did you hear me? I asked you a question!

The Sword Fraternity attacked your father's palanquin and killed him!

And... and...

The corpse-handler Choi was arrested in that location.

He murdered your father!

He was the Chief of the Sword Fraternity!

Impossible! That's impossible!

Father...

Is this man Choi Hyo Won, the Chief of the Sword Fraternity?

Yes...

Jang Hyuk...

- Take these men to the Tribunal! - Yes, Sir!

What happened?

Why are you here?

This is the Chief of the Sword Fraternity who murdered the Councilor, Sir.

- Take the criminals away! - Yes, Sir!

Wait!

- Where do you think you're going? - She must be the girl!

- Let's go! - Why... why are you doing this?

Young Miss!

What are you doing here, Miss? I've been looking for you everywhere!

Young Miss? Isn't she supposed to be lowborn?

But it's her!

Do you want to get in trouble?

How dare you say that of the minister's daughter!

Young Miss, we have to go!

His Lordship is furious that you went out again!

- Really? - Yes! Let's go!

What's going on? Why does the Police want me?

Let's go. I'll tell you on the way.

Dong Ju said he would wait for us here.

He wouldn't make us wait.

Dong Yi, stay here for a while. I'll go and get your brother.

Don't go anywhere. You have to stay here, all right?

All right, I'll stay right here.

Brother! What happened here?

- The guards... the guards... - Where's the Chief?

He... He...

Brother! Brother..!

Jang went over to their side! It was a trap!

Chief!

Compose yourself, Chun Soo.

You are now the Chief of the Sword Fraternity.

It cannot collapse here. It cannot just end like this!

Chief!

Dong Ju!

Father told me not to go. I should have listened to him.

I'm sorry, Father. I'm sorry.

That man killed someone!

Father! Older Brother!

Father! Older Brother!

Father! Older Brother!
