Episode 14

Dong Yi, you see this symbol?

Don't ever forget it.

If you put this up, I'll find you. Got it?

It couldn't be...!

It couldn't be Chun Soo...?

- Open it. - Yes, sir.

Take this to the location I told you earlier.

Aren't you curious why I'm doing this?

I'm not interested. I'm only here in order to get what I need.

That must be very important to you.

Important enough to risk your life.

Oh, you're back. You're later than usual.

Yes, I had something to take care of.

You must be tired. Wash up and go to sleep.

Yes, sir.

Where did she go? I'm constantly worried about her!

- What have you done? - What are you talking about?

- What did you do to my headband? - Nothing! All I did was look at it...!

The symbol on it looked suspicious so I gave it to a Lady Investigator I know.

- A Lady Investigator? - Yes, I told you about her!

The one who's like a sister to me.

But she took a look at it and went to look for you!

- She recognized the symbol? - Yes!

Dong Yi recognized the symbol, but she wouldn't tell me what it was!

So I don't know what it is! I swear!

I had no idea Dong Yi would go to the Police Bureau to look for you.

Did you say that Lady Investigator's name was Dong Yi?

Yes.

Dong Yi didn't do anything wrong! So please don't hurt her!

What? A Lady Investigator was looking for him?

Yes, a Lady Investigator came looking for him at the Police Bureau.

A Lady Investigator...?

There's something suspicious about him! You don't know anything about him either.

If he is being investigated by the Office of Investigations,

... it can affect you.

Find out who she is.

And make sure she never contacts him.

What? Why is that necessary?

That fellow is going to be useful to me for a long time.

We need to organize his environment for him so that it doesn't cause trouble later.

Dong Yi!

- Why are you alone, sir? - Young Dal hasn't come to the Bureau yet.

- What? - Something must have happened to him.

Here you go.

You rascal, where have you been! Dong Yi is looking everywhere for you!

Where is Dong Yi?

Dong Yi isn't at the Palace right now.

What? Why didn't she wait for me?

What do you want?

Chun Soo...

Chun Soo...

Dong Yi...

Is that really you?

Is it really...? Is it really you...?

Yes, Dong Yi. It's me.

It's Chun Soo.

It's me, Chun Soo.

Chun Soo! Chun Soo...!

What happened to you?

You weren't dead?

You were alive this whole time?

Yes, I was alive.

I've been looking for you.

I'm not dreaming, right?

I'm not... I'm not dreaming, right?

I'm standing here in front of you, right?

That's right. That's right, Dong Yi.

Chun Soo!

Chun Soo!

Sir.

What is it?

They lost the Lady Investigator.

- What? They lost her? - Yes.

A man came to rescue her,

But they didn't get a chance to look at his face.

But there was something strange.

What's strange?

The Lady Investigator who's looking for Cha Chun Soo.

She's the girl who was sent there by Lady Jang.

What? The girl named Dong Yi?

Yes, sir.

And that girl was looking for Cha Chun Soo?

Why would she be looking for him?

I thought I had lost it forever.

When I found this at the cliff,

I realized you were still alive at Dosung.

Why didn't I think of it earlier?

If I had left this out sooner, we may have met earlier.

You told me not to forget.

You told me you would find me if I left this symbol out.

- I'm sorry I took so long to find you. - No.

You said you would come for me even if it took a long time.

You kept your promise.

I thought of all of you everyday even though I knew it was futile.

If only I could see Father one more time...

If only I could hear you and Dongju call my name one more time...

I thought about that all the time.

But here you are in front of me.

Dong Yi...

I must seem so silly to you.

I keep crying on this happy day.

Silly girl.

Can't you see the tears in my eyes too?

Six years ago, you were a headstrong little girl.

Now you're all grown up.

If I had passed you on the street, I wouldn't have recognized you.

Chun Soo...

How did you live, Dong Yi?

Why didn't you follow Miss Sulhee?

How did you come to work at the Bureau of Music...

And when did you become a Lady Investigator?

Yes, Chun Soo. I'll tell you everything.

I'll tell you everything that I wanted to share with you all these years.

I have so many things to tell you.

So this fellow was your brother's friend that you were separated from?

Yes, he's like my brother!

Goodness! And he was living with Young Dal!

You rascal, couldn't you tell? If you had, they would have met sooner!

How could I have known that?

And besides, I couldn't really ask him anything.

We thought you were suspicious and that's why we went through your things.

I'm really sorry!

No, it's because of what you did that I am reunited with Dong Yi.

- So you're not angry with me? - Of course not!

We're indebted to you!

How wonderful this is.

We all thought she was an orphan, but now she has someone to depend on!

- That's right. You must be so happy! - Yes, sir. I'm so happy!

Dong Yi that the two of you have helped her like she's your own sister.

- I'm really grateful. - No need for that.

Sir, please take good care of Chun Soo too.

But if you're like a brother to Dong Yi, then maybe I should call you brother too.

What? No need for that, sir.

Actually, I didn't quite know how to address you,

So frankly, it's better for me too.

But still...

Please allow me to call you brother! Please!

It's my fervent wish!

You may... Little Brother.

Brother, please take care of me!

Yes, take care of me too.

- Now your wish has come true! - It has!

You know, I'm really not that inept at fighting.

- Actually, I was scared of you at first. - Right? I used to catch flies with chopsticks!

Chief, can you hear me?

Dong Yi is laughing.

I'm finally able to see her laugh again.

So please don't worry anymore.

I won't lose her again.

I'll stay with her and protect her, Chief.

What's wrong with this place! Why is there so much work?

It's hard, isn't it?

I was happy at first, but there's so much work!

If I had known about this, I wouldn't have come!

Were you always like this? Why do you complain so much?

What?

- What's with her? - Just bear with it. Jung Im's like that.

She's over-confident in her abilities.

Really? She's that good?

She's the best.

Even the Madam Inspectors has acknowledged her.

Where is that Chun Dong Yi anyway?

- I saw her leave earlier. - What? How dare she leave?

This is why girls who come in here by backers aren't suitable!

Wait until she gets back! I'll destroy her!

What's with that one?

She's the thug of the Office of Investigations!

If I get caught, they'll give me night duty!

What should I do?

Hey!

My Lady!

Didn't you hear we were gathering? Why are you here?

- Yes, My Lady, I heard. - Then stop dallying! Hurry!

Yes, My Lady!

What?

There is a smuggling ring amongst the Emissaries arriving from Qing tomorrow?

Yes, Your Majesty.

He is a Joseon citizen named Kim Yoon Dal.

He went to Qing and was given a position when he found favor with the Emissary.

I have heard of this man. Didn't he accompany the Emissary last time too?

Yes, Your Majesty. We investigated him quietly for smuggling.

We found evidence suggesting palace maids were involved,

But he left for Qing before we could find out more.

And this man has been included in the Emissaries' entourage?

Yes, Your Majesty.

If someone with financial influence is involved in smuggling,

It will shake Joseon's economy.

Do you have a plan to get him?

We are determined to reveal his crimes and find the Joseon citizens who are helping him.

We will be working with the Tribunal and the Office of Investigations for this investigation.

The Office of Investigations?

Yes, Your Majesty.

We'll be conducting an investigation with the Police Bureau and the Tribunal?

That's right. This case is connected with the Inner Court.

The movements of Kim Young Dal will be handled by the Police Bureau and the Tribunal.

We will be responsible for watching them at the guest palace at Mohwagwan.

Will we be working undercover?

Yes, we will need to disguise ourselves as ladies-in-waiting for the Qing Emissaries.

Find girls appropriate for this work.

So we'll be working undercover as ladies-in-waiting?

Really?

I shouldn't get my hopes up, right?

Of course not!

Ladies-in-waiting are chosen from the best girls in each of the departments!

We're undercover, but we'll still have to work.

Do you know anything about court etiquette?

But I'm familiar with banquets because I worked at the Bureau of Music.

- Wouldn't that be helpful? - Be quiet! Don't even think about it.

We will be calling out names of the girls...

... who will be sent to work undercover as ladies-in-waiting.

All those whose names are called will meet at the training room.

- Jung Im. - Here.

- Young Saeng. - Here.

- Myung Hee. - Here.

- Eun Geum. - Here.

- Hee Sun. - Here.

- Shibi. - Here.

- Jong Hwee. - Here.

- Myung Ju. - Here.

And finally...

- Dong Yi. - Here!

All of you will go and make preparations.

She... she just called my name, right?

Yes.

What... what just happened? What about me?

Anybody hear my name? Who heard her say Ae-Jong?

No one? What is going on here!

My Lady, what's going on here! How can you choose Dong Yi over me!

Well... you... you didn't make the criteria.

Criteria? What criteria?

What could Dong Yi possibly do better than me?

I'm second only to Jung Im!

Yes, you're really good! But this time, you didn't make the criteria.

So what was that criteria?

- This. - What?

The girls have to be ladies-in-waiting for Emissaries!

So we chose the girls based on their looks!

What? The criteria was our looks?

Hey...! It wasn't my decision!

I don't know! It wasn't me!

Take this.

It's a mirror that we use to communicate when we are working undercover.

- Jung Im will show you how to use it. - Yes, My Lady.

We chose you because you should know the most about banquets.

We thought you could share this information with the other girls.

Do you think you can do a good job?

Yes, My Lady. Banquets are what I did for six years!

Please have faith in me.

This case is very important for the Office of Investigations.

Make sure that you don't cause any trouble. Do you hear me?

Yes, My Lady.

You must be tired after your long journey.

Not at all. I am honored that you came to greet me in person, Councilor.

You must be tired. Please come inside.

We have prepared a welcome banquet for you.

Thank you.

The man next to the Emissary is Kim Young Dal.

If this case is mishandled, it can cause a serious diplomatic problem.

Therefore, you must watch Kim Young Dal and his men in secret, do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Move quickly. We must not let them get away this time.

Yes, sir! We will do a through investigation!

Your Majesty, the Emissary has arrived at Mohwagwan.

The Police Bureau and the Tribunal must already be on duty.

Yes, Your Majesty.

We cannot accuse the right-hand man of the Qing Emissary without irrefutable evidence.

We must find sufficient proof of his crime.

Treat the Emissary's party well so that they do not suspect they are being watched.

Yes, Your Majesty.

The Lady Investigators are said to be working undercover at Mohwagwan.

I wonder what they're doing?

It's the last room at the East Pavilion.

Please come in.

These women were sent by the Joseon Court to attend to us.

It's been two years since I came here.

You must have missed it deeply.

Yes.

This is their conversation. Deliver this to the Madam Inspectors.

- You speak Chinese? - A little.

- Go quickly, and be careful. - Yes, My Lady.

Hey, isn't that Dong Yi?

That looks like her!

I wonder why she's here?

Well done. Tell the others to not make any mistakes.

Yes, My Lady.

These are names the Emissaries mentioned. Deliver this to the Police Chief.

Police Chief Suh? All right!

That's why you have to do a proper job! This is why I keep losing weight!

- My man! - What is it?

Is something going on? Things seem chaotic today.

It's none of your business.

A newbie like you has no business knowing top secret missions!

Top secret missions? How interesting!

- Stop poking your nose into our business! - Tell me what's going on!

- No! - Just tell me!

You know less than I do, you fool. Go ahead and keep running!

- Sir. - Oh, it's you.

I have to speak with you.

All right.

What? You want to take the military exam?

Yes, I know that a lowborn man can become a palace guard...

... if he passes the military exam.

It's not impossible,

But why do you want to take it all of a sudden?

I've gotten ambitious. I would like to work in the Palace too.

How surprising.

I didn't expect you to be interested in palace life.

All right. It wouldn't hurt me to have someone in the Palace too.

All right.

By the way, do you know a Lady Investigator named Chun Dong Yi?

- A Lady Investigator? - That's right.

I heard she was looking for you and wondered if you knew her.

No, I don't know her.

- Is that so? - Yes.

All right, in any case, be careful.

If they find out about the other night, there will be trouble.

- Please don't worry about that. - And one more thing.

I have something for you to do.

You're going to give these precious items to the Director of the Bureau of Music?

I was going to ask him to help me find favor with the 2nd State Councilor.

Your sister can do that for you!

I'm doing this without her knowledge.

What? What do you have up your sleeve?

Don't worry, Mother. All this is for her sake!

And this is called Mao Tai. Only the nobles can drink this wine.

Is that so? It smells wonderful!

Give it to me, Father!

It really is spectacular! You can get drunk just on the aroma!

Why did you bring such a valuable gift here?

I brought it here because it's valuable!

And this is for you, Madam!

For me?

You shouldn't have!

I wanted to get something perfect, but I didn't bring the right one.

What?

The hair ornament doesn't do justice to your beauty!

I keep receiving gifts from you. I should do something for you in return!

Please just tell the Councilor that I will be paying him a visit shortly.

How difficult can that be? We should always be visiting one another!

- Aren't I right, Father? - Of course! I'll tell my brother right away!

Who are you?

Attack!

Please come with me.

Your Excellency, Jang Hee Jae is here to see you.

Yes, I heard he was going to pay me a visit.

- Let him in. - Yes, Your Excellency.

Jang Hee Jae? What does that profligate want?

Please go in.

Your Excellency, have you been well?

What brings you here?

You are the reason I was appointed as a lieutenant at the Police Bureau.

It is only right that I should come and pay my respects.

No need for that. I don't expect anything from you.

Perhaps you will change your mind if you meet the man I've brought with me.

A man?

Would I have come here to trouble you if it were only me?

Please come in.

Please have a seat.

This man is...!

This is Kim Yoon Dal. He's here with the Qing Emissary.

How do you do, Your Excellency?

As you know, it is not an exaggeration to say that...

... all money coming out of Joseon touches his hand.

But he wishes to donate some of that precious money to the South Faction.

I hope the investigation is completed without causing any trouble.

If they find out that the Lady Investigators are working there undercover,

... the Qing Emissary will be furious.

Yes, that is why they must be very careful.

We can only trust that the Office of Inspections will do a good job.

By the way, did you know something?

Dong Yi has also been chosen to work undercover at Mohwagwan too!

- Is that so? - Yes!

That Poongsan must be doing a good job so far.

Poongsan, Your Majesty?

That's her nickname!

It's because once she bites, she doesn't let go!

- You know her nickname too? - That's right.

I told you I met her outside the Palace a few times.

We talked about the strangest things.

In any case, I've been worried ever since she became a Lady Investigator.

Worried, Your Majesty?

I told her I was a Justice Officer at the Prefecture.

But now that she's a palace maid, she's bound to find out that I'm the King.

I wonder if she'll be shocked. I hope she isn't.

I'm worried that she'll think I was teasing her.

Your Majesty, why do you concern yourself with such trivial matters?

Trivial matters? Yes, I suppose you could say that.

But I wonder what she'll think when she finds out I'm the King.

I'm worried that she'll feel betrayed by the man she thought was the Justice Officer!

What a worry!

Goodness!

There should be something suspicious here.

Elementary Learning? Why would an adult read this book?

~ Reads Chinese characters ~

What does this mean?

You found this in his room?

Yes, it must be important because it was hidden,

But I don't understand what it means.

I'm not sure what it means either. It seems like nonsensical scribble.

Do you think that's what it is?

Fine, put this back so they don't know you took it.

- Yes, My Lady. - Dong Yi!

- Make sure they don't leak your identity! - Yes, My Lady!

- I told you it was her! - What are you doing here?

I....

You mean you're working undercover?

I told you to lower your voice!

This is great, Dong Yi! You're a real Lady Investigator now!

You too! Lower your voice!

Talk quietly.

So don't let anyone know you know me. All right?

- All right, Dong Yi! - Don't say my name!

All right. I'll keep my mouth shut for the nation!

There must be something he wants from us.

It's nothing too big.

He just wants the ability to smuggle goods in freely.

He would like for you to help him.

Are you asking me to stop the investigation carried out by the Tribunal and Police Bureau?

You know very well that politics and money go hand-in-hand.

Give him something small to achieve something big.

The South Faction will never have to worry about money again.

I never knew your talents lay in this area.

I did nothing but enjoy days of leisure in Qing.

This is the least I can do for someone who has been a supporter of my sister.

- Is Lady Jang aware of what you're doing? - No.

She doesn't know and she should never find out.

My hand is here to be dirty on her behalf, Your Excellency.

- Are you there? - Yes, Your Excellency.

- Did you wish to see me? - Go and tell Yoon that I wish to see him.

Yes, Your Excellency.

Kim Yoon Dal left the Mohwagwan late last night.

My men followed him when we received your message,

But he shook off the soldiers and disappeared.

He must have had a secret meeting.

Do you think he has grown suspicious?

We searched his room but there was nothing strange.

Nothing was brought in or taken out either.

There is nothing else we can do. Please forgive us.

Not at all. You have all risked your safety for this case.

I think it's best for you to remove your girls now.

- Yes, sir. - Sir!

Sir! Something... something has happened!

- What is it? - We... we've been discovered.

The Lady Investigators have been discovered.

- What is going on? - They are Lady Investigators!

Lady Investigators?

We searched them after reports of them acting suspiciously and found these mirrors.

What?

The whole place is full of them! They've been watching us!

They have been playing Qing China for a fool!

- Make them kneel! - Yes, sir!

These ladies-in-waiting may be spies!

What happened?

The undercover investigators have been discovered!

What?

They were discovered while communicating with each other.

Don't try to help.

If they find out that the Tribunal and Police Bureau are also involved,

It can escalate into a diplomatic conflict.

What has happened to our girls?

Are all of you all right?

My Lady!

Please forgive us, My Lady. Our ineptitude has caused this mess.

It's all right. It's not your fault.

What? The girls were discovered by the Emissary?

Yes, Your Majesty.

So what is the Emissary doing at Mohwagwan?

They are angry and threatening to return to Qing immediately.

- Announce me. - Yes, My Lady.

The Office of Investigations must have made a big mistake.

The Emissary's party is up in arms at Mohwagwan.

How did this happen?

This is because you shook them up earlier!

Mother...!

You responded to Lady Jang's manipulations...

And caused the Office of Investigations to be disoriented.

This is really too much!

We didn't even use the mirrors, but they demanded to search our things!

She's right. Someone leaked our identities!

What good are words now?

That's why the Madams should have chosen me!

- Are you blaming us for this? - Yes I am! Stop glaring at me!

You little...! Come here!

Fine, let's fine!

My fist is going!

Let's not fight amongst ourselves!

Are you all right?

How could I be all right? We ruined this important case.

What happens now? Do we stop the investigation?

At this point, not even the Tribunal or the Police Bureau can do anything.

So the smuggler can't be arrested?

I heard even palace maids are involved in his smuggling ring.

I heard his guilt is certain! We only have to find the evidence, so...?

My Lady, you know that strange note I found?

Do you really think that's unrelated? I keep thinking about that note.

Even if it's significant, there's nothing we can do now.

We can't even go back there anymore.

So will this case be closed?

Yes, it's been made to seem like the Office of Investigations made a mistake.

Not even Police Chief Suh will be able to do anything.

What about the investigation?

Not even the Tribunal or Police Bureau...

... can do anything now without causing a diplomatic rift.

Good. Later, I will placate the Emissary through Kim Young Dal.

I will try to calm his anger.

Inform the Bureau of Music to prepare for a banquet.

I'm responsible for the Emissary's welfare, so it's my duty to placate them.

Yes, Uncle.

Reads Chinese characters

What does this mean?

I'm not sure what it means either. It seems like nonsensical scribble.

Why would he write nonsensical scribble in such a coherent and linear way?

Recites Chinese characters

What is that supposed to mean?

Yes, Chun Soo!

He's learned a lot from Father, so he may know!

Chun Soo!

Dong Yi! What brings you here?

There were undecipherable characters written on a long strip of paper?

Yes, but I have no idea what it meant.

Do you have any idea, Chun Soo?

Can you wait a moment?

- This is like the note you saw, right? - That's right!

This is a code, Dong Yi.

What?

There is a message hidden in the words you saw on that paper.

Do you see it?

It may not make any sense, but if you wind it against something,

... you'll see a message.

Choi Dong Yi.

That's my secret message.

This is a code used in the olden days by countries west of Qing.

The note you found should be accompanied by a piece of wood that would reveal the message.

That means the Emissary's men at Mohwagwan has a secret message too!

That's right.

I am to blame for this.

It was an error of judgment to have the girls go undercover at Mohwagwan.

We should have prepared for an event like this.

No, I gave my approval for this plan. So you do not have to blame yourself.

We came so close this time.

Now he will get away scot-free again, and return to Qing tomorrow.

That upsets me, Your Majesty!

No, we won't let him get away so easily.

I cannot allow a man to get away so easily after he's committed a crime in my nation.

What?

I have heard that the Qing Emissary is known for his intelligence and reason.

I will meet him in person.

- What? You want to go in to the banquet? - Yes, I need to find something!

Then go as a Lady Investigator! Why do you want to enter as a slave again?

We were kicked out because they found us out!

Who would approve my entry?

What if they get you? At least tell the Madam Inspectors...

No, we can't tell them anything!

Besides, we're in trouble because of this and no one will want to risk anything more.

I can't ask them to risk their positions for something I'm not certain of.

You have to help me, please?

When the musicians go in, I'll wear the slave's uniform and go in like I used to!

All right?

Sirs!

Wait! Isn't that Dong Yi?

What?

I'm not sure. I can't really see that far.

Dong Yi's a palace maid now. I doubt that was her.

I think about her day and night! How could I be wrong?

It was definitely her!

- Thank you, sir! - Be careful!

All right!

Sir! Dong Yi got in safely!

I knew it! That was Dong Yi!

Tell me! Why is she here?

Why is she wearing the slave uniform and acting like she works at the Bureau of Music?

- Well.... - I asked you why!

Why are you angry with us?

Father!

Stop calling me Father!

- What is it? - Something strange is going on!

That slave girl! Dong Yi!

- Dong Yi? - That's right!

You know the slave girl who became a Lady Investigator!

- That wench is here! - What?

I don't know what's going on but she's here dressed as a slave!

What did you just say? A Lady Investigator is here?

Wait, do you understand Korean?

Did you just say a Lady Investigator was here?

He not only understands Korean, but I think he knows how to speak it!

Where is that Lady Investigator!

This is scary...!

Elementary Learning!

I found it!

Search the rooms! There is someone here!

Get her!

Thank you.

Sir!

Sir! What are you doing at Mohwagwan?

What are you doing here?

You're just in time! I'm being pursued!

How dare you! Your Majesty!

Sir, what's going on? Did he just call you Your Majesty?

Why would he...?
