Tell me! What is your identity?

Hurry up and tell me.

She passed out.

Episode 6

Sir.

You passed the last test. (Gang Sun Ho)

Now, you are a secret intelligence agent.

No matter how seamlessly you prepare,

there is always a possibility that a mission will fail.

To prepare for such an instance, all our agents

carry these poisonous pills on their person.

However, the very fact that you are in a situation

where you can take these pill, means that luck is still with you.

The problem is when you are captured even before you have time to take these pills

and are subjected to cruel torture.

You never gave your identity up till the end,

but the torture you went through tonight, cannot even be considered torture.

Ways to withstand torture? There is no such thing.

Even the mentally strongest

will cave in and reveal all in the end.

The only way to withstand torture,

is to die through whatever means possible.

Move aside, move aside.

Wh-Who is that?

I don't know either.

Judging by his shabby appearance, it looks like he was held a prisoner here,

but where in this prison?

I told you, I-I-I don't know either!

What is all this?

You suffered much over the years, sir.

Thank you for your efforts in taking care of a person who lacks much.

We apologize for not being able to serve you to our full capacity. We hope you understand.

No, no. Thank you for your consideration in various aspects.

We bid you farewell.

You released Park Tae Soo? You can't do that.

Park Tae Soo is a man who holds a vengeful grudge against us.(Yoon Won Hyung)

If you release such a man, he will some day threaten our very lives.

There is none other who could carry out this mission as well as he would.

It has already been decided, just know that.

There are many capable secret intelligence agents who could carry out the mission. We simply cannot choose Park Tae Soo!

Stop! I said stop.

- Noonim! - What if

If it fails will you be able to take responsibility?

This time the results of this mission can't be a failure

The only person I can trust is Park Tae Soo.(Queen Munjeong)

Hey Ok Nyeo! Ok Nyeo, where have you been?

I always told Unni Yoo Geum that I was out running some errands.(Ji Chun Deuk)

While you were gone, an astounding thing happened!

Do you remember the east wing prison cells that I told you to stay away from?

There was a secret underground prison there that no one knew about!

The only the prison warden sir and his associate sir knew about this prison.

In that cell, oh my goodness, for 20 years,

there has been a man in there.

H-How did you know about it?

The person was released today.

You should've seen his haggard appearance! His hair, his gaze, wow.

The moment I laid eyes on him I started getting goosebumps all over and...

Alright, alright. Hold on.

The person's face totally looks like a ghost,.

You missed a truly exciting spectacle.

For Ok Nyeo

Not being able to see you before leaving Jeonokseo

makes me really sad,

but we will meet again in the near future.

Don't be too disappointed.

When I meet you again,

I will help you solve the secret behind your mother's death.

Ok Nyeo meeting you

has been a big blessing in my life.

Park Tae Soo

Here is the agent who will accompany you in completing this mission.

I am Gang Sun Ho.

This person will give you the details of this mission.

Sit down.

Sir, you probably don't remember,

but when I first became a secret intelligence agent,(Chae ta min: akin to a modern day secret intelligence agent)

I saw you once although it was from a far distance.

As a leader of all agents

you were like a legend to us all.

To meet such a man,

and even to accompany you on this mission, is a true honor.

Tell me about this mission.

Who is our assassination target?

The Ming envoy who is currently visiting the capital.

The Ming envoy?

How will we cope with the repercussions of assassinating such a man?

Therefore, we must assassinate him after the envoy has left Joseon,

on the journey back to Ming.

What is the reason we are assassinating him?

That I do not know, nor is it necessary to know.

I will accompany you and leave Joseon first and wait along the way.

Then at the company's first camping grounds, we will carry out our mission.

When do we leave?

Tomorrow.

Sir.

Come on in.

Did you call for me?

Yes. Have a seat.

You have been assigned your first mission.

I know you need more experience.

Your contributions will be a game-changer for this mission, and therefore you were selected.

What is it that I need to do?

Hey Tae Won. Ugh Tae Won!!

Let's rest for a minute.

We're late! We don't even have enough time to run. How can we rest?

I don't care! I can't go any further! Even if you beat me to death to go I can't!

Don't care, don't care.

- Here. - It's okay.

I was worried to death because I thought we will never find ourselves a ginseng supplier.

That old man was going to sell it to us anyway. Why worry us to death in the process?

He was angry that Lee So Jung left Songdo is all.

That gisaeng (Korean courtesan)?

I'm a man too, but really, all men are similar in this regard.

That old man didn't even look like he had many days to live, but he sure likes his ladies, huh?

But that gisaeng (courtesan), Lee So Jung, sure is pretty.

Make it work.

That scared me! What's with them?

Look here.

Sir!

Ok Nyeo, you are needed to go on temporary duty for three to four months.

Where?

Won Yang Temporary Palace needs you. (Heng Goong: King's temporary residence when he is staying outside of the palace.)

There is a palace maid waiting for you outside. Go along with her.

Why would Ok Nyeo be needed at the temporary palace?

I don't know the details, but the fact that Ok Nyeo speaks a fair bit of Chinese

has even spread to the palace. I heard that the palace has visitors from the Ming. (Jeong Dae Sik)

Do well so as to not make any mistakes.

Yes sir. Excuse me.

Come back safely.

Ok Nyeo gets prettier and prettier every day!

Jeonokseo

- Let's go. - Yes.

This is driving me crazy. What is going on with these men?

What happened? The envoy party from Ming is leaving the Muhwa Pavilion very shortly.

Aish! Perhaps something went wrong with those two!

- Aish! - Won't we suffer a huge loss if we miss the envoy?

Should I go with some men at least?

You bear-like idiot. What will YOU be able to achieve?

- Aish - What is so wrong about me...

At least I...

Where have you been?!

You two rascals! Where have you been! You had me dying with anxiety!

There was a slight incident on our way here. The envoy hasn't left yet, right?

Hey! You must go to Mohwa Pavilion immediately. They are leaving!

Go, go, go! Those punks

I see that you're leaving now.

Yes sir.

This is the interpreter you asked for.

I go by Ok Nyeo.

Oh! Kiddo!

Hey, kiddo. What are you doing here?

You know her?

- No, no. - Neither you nor Do Chi know how to speak Chinese.

So I requested an interpreter from Sire. Why? (Gong Chae Myung)

You two know each other?

Interpreter? Did you leave your position as a Jeonokseo Damo?

Yes.

Hey! What are you doing? If you don't go to Mohwa Pavilion now, the envoy will have left already!

- Yes, yes. - Here, here! - Hurry up!

Hurry up and get going!

- Let's talk on the way. - Yes

Your Lordship, is there a reason you are deviating from your itinerary and leaving earlier that planned?

Please tell me if we treated you insufficiently in any way. Hey, why are just standing there? Come here.

Oh no, no. I was treated very well.

I was particularly impressed by the cuisine at Mohwa Pavilion.

I'm going back earlier than usual because of personal reasons.

Please don't be concerned about that.

Is that so?

Oh Jang Hyeon you rascal. What nonsense are you spouting here?

There is no longer a reason to stay behind as you accomplished what you set out to accomplish in Joseon.

The King sent his personal cooking lady to Mohuaguan just for the occasion,

so no doubt the food at least would have been good. (Mohwa Pavilion - where the Ming envoys would be met.)

During my stay in Joseon, I realized I had many misunderstandings.

Please be sure to send my regards and appreciation to both the King and the Queen Dowager

for taking special care during my stay here.

Of course, of course.

Even if you carry on with your overly excited talk,

it makes no difference as the fact is that you will be dead soon, punk.

Please send in some good words and news on Joseon to His Majesty, the Emperor.

If so, I will forever be indebted to you, Chief Eunuch.

Although I am Chief Eunuch of Ming,

I was deeply reminded that the country in my heart is Joseon.

Talking pretty big for one who has already become Ming's lapdog.

Thank you for such kind words.

Hurry, hurry!

Tae Won, come here.

I was able to obtain ginseng without much hassle, thanks to you.

A lot of ginseng. Thank you.

But how will I return this favor to you? (Lee So Jung)

There is no need.

Is there a set way to repay a favor? Just bring back some fine silk and adornments from Ming.

Don't forget mine too.

I won't.

- Give me that. - Yes ma'am.

Accept it.

What is this?

Since you're going far away, I prepared some herbal medicine for your long journey.

I made them into tablets, so it'll be easy for you to take them. (Hwang Gyo Ha)

Don't share it with anyone else. Just eat it yourself.

Tae Won! Tae Won! His Lord Chief Eunuch, is on his way out.

Here.

Hurry! Hurry it up!

Well then. Are we all prepared?

Yes. This fellow here, is the head merchant for our company for this deal.

Young master, please take good care of them.

You have nothing to worry about. If this transaction works out successfully,

I will do my best to continue to open more doors for trade in the future.

- Thank you. - Thank you, Young Master.

You heard that right, you two? Do well!

Thank you, Young Master!

You have been assigned your first mission.

I know you need more experience.

Your contributions will be a game-changer for this mission, therefore, you have been chosen.

What is it that I need to do?

The Ming envoy that is here in Joseon right now,

we must assassinate him on his return trip to Ming.

It will be a big problem if a Ming ambassador dies on Joseon soil,

thus after the crossing of the Liao River, at the crossing of the Shanhai Pass, where the Great Wall of China starts,

your mission will begin.

You will accompany them as the interpreter of the Joseon trading company who will be traveling with them.

How will I become a member of the company?

I will pull some strings to make sure you are nominated as the trade company's interpreter.

All throughout the journey from the capital and across the border,

you must observe and report envoy Oh Jang Hyeon's every move to me.

You must also thoroughly analyze his moving patterns and habits at the first resting stop

and report them to me.

We are finally going to Yanjing (old name for Beijing)), yeah?

- What? - Go on first.

Hey, kiddo!

Sorry. I really shouldn't call you kiddo anymore.

You've already become almost an adult since last I saw you.

Why did you quit your position as a Jeonokseo damo?

Just because... Just...

A long time ago, didn't you say you wanted to become a Police Bureau damo?

Yes! I took the exam, but I didn't pass.

Then you should've told me earlier.

I know a couple of supervisors at the Police Bureau.

After our trip to Ming, I'll put in a good word for you.

Oh no need, no need. After interpreting, if it goes well, I was thinking about learning about the goings on of a trading company.

I see. Rather than picking up after prisoners, I guess that would be better.

Anyway, nice meeting you.

The road to Ming will definitely not be a boring one.

You can also tell me any time, if you're having difficulties.

- Sure. - Alright then.

Why isn't he hurrying up?

Hey, who is she?

Oh. A Damo that I met when I was at the Jeonokseo a while back.

You are so lucky with the ladies. Not only is she pretty, she is also cute!

What ladies? She is still a young girl.

It's better that she's young!

If you're not interested, should I give it a go?

Stop your nonsense. If you fool around, I'm going to fire you first, Hyung.

This is a command as the head merchant.

Alright, punk! So selfish...

Gong Jae Myung's trade party left with the envoy from Ming.

You should have told you my lady and tried to stop them!

No need to worry about that. Gong Jae Myung, that rascal, will shortly go bankrupt. (Jung Nan Jung)

Go bankrupt? What do you mean? (Min Dong Ju)

That Ming envoy will die before reaching Yanjing.

After the envoy dies, how on earth will Gong Jae Myung trade with him?

Why will the Ming envoy die?

No, no. You go about your duties.

Aunt, remember the silk from las...

Oh you're here.

What is that you're...

You promised not to interfere with what I choose to do.

Even so, you should stay within certain limits!

My heart will never rest because of you.

You just wait and see. I will become the heart of your pride one day, Mother. (Yoon Shin Hye)

That girl. If she could at least watch her tongue.

In a short while, your father I will be meeting with your groom-to-be. Just so you are aware.

Shin Hye has had a betrothal request?

Who is it?

He is the Captain of the Police Bureau.

It's great already that he has become the Captain of the Police Bureau at such a young age, but on top of that,

what I love more is how wealthy his family is.

Your father-in-law to be is the wealthiest man in Songdo (old name of Kaesong).

As you already know, the wealthiest man in Songdo

is like saying he is the wealthiest man in all of Joseon.

Oh good, oh good.

Whether or not he is the Captain of the Police Bureau or the wealthiest man in Songdo,

I won't marry him if I don't like how he looks.

I spoiled her didn't I.

Don't worry too much. There is no one as clever as Shin Hye.

Come again!

Yes, thank you for the food.

It's just that I never knew that the salary of a Police Bureau supervisor

would be so low.

How will I sustain my wife and kids with this salary?

You idiotic rascal.

Of course you can't provide for your family with just your salary!

Is there another way?

There are many avenues by which we can glean extra money. Why are you even worried?

Glean money? What do you mean?

First, select a few prosperous courtesan houses in Hanyang. (Yang Dong Gu)

Then regularly collect money from them.

If you really choose to inspect such a place, there are numerous areas where they need to pay up.

Next, there are the market naming vendors.

You know that regular gambling matches are held at those vendors, right?

You can sneak up on them and collect all the gambling money. It is quite the pay.

This last one is the most important.

They transfer criminals from the Police Bureau to the Jeonokseo right?

So if you get an "in" with the Jeonokseo officials, you can collect loads and loads of money.

Well how?

The Jeonokseo officials, for the replacements who do prison time,

and for replacements to be beaten for punishment in the criminal's place, earn money off them.

So if you threaten to arrest them just a little bit, they are bound to give you money.

You are so amazing, Hyungnim!

Is it really possible to find someone who will go to prison or be beaten in someone's place?

- Who are you? - This man...

Ah... I unintentionally overheard your conversation.

My brother is currently imprisoned in Jeonokseo. Is there a way to smuggle him out?

Even if you are young, how could you know so little about the ways of life?

Not everyone gets an easy out. You need this (holds up money sign).

By the looks of you, there is no hope for you in that department.

Please help me out here.

What are you doing? You shouldn't be doing this.

Move aside, brat.

Ming Border Checkpoint

Should we go around them?

We have no time for that.

Ming

As soon as we arrive, we must first ready the gunpowder.

What will you do with the gunpowder?

If we are in a situation where we cannot kill Oh Jang Hyeon easily,

we might need to blow up the entire company.

One of the secret intelligence agents is currently traveling with the trading company accompanying the envoy.

If we do that, our agent will die too!

Completing a mission implies that we must be prepared for worst case scenarios.

In order to complete a mission, we must be willing to make such sacrifices.

We are leaving now.

Never forget the future of this nation heavily hinges on this mission.

If you happen to fail, Joseon will suffer great pressure from Ming.

We will succeed.

After you complete this mission, there is another secret task you must complete.

What is it?

Please go in, go in. (Ŭiju)

Place it over here.

You all did great. Unpack your things,

eat well, and rest well, understood?

Who is in the one in charge here?

- I think we can unpack in that room over there. - Hey, T-Tae Won.

What is it?

Call Ok Nyeo.

- Excuse me. Over there. - Huh?

The Chief Eunuch Minister of Ming, would like the head merchant

to be in attendance at the banquet held by the mayor of Uiju.

The mayor of Uiju would like the head merchant to attend the banquet he is holding. (buyun - governorship over major cities in a province)

I appreciate the gesture, but I decline.

Thank you for the invitation, but he won't make it.

Why?

What is the point of going? All I will do is just sit there and look around uncomfortably.

Just tiring.

But, free liquor is always good, right?

Lets go.

Aigoo hey, what are you doing still awake?

I'm looking over the list of inventory we are taking to Ming.

Punk, you're scared, right?

What are you talking about?

You talked big, then made the head merchant cough up his entire fortune, and now you're feeling the weight of it.

Yeah, it's a stretch.

But it's working for me.

Though His Lordship Chief Eunuch agreed to help us,

we never know what we will encounter once we are in Ming...

If something goes wrong with the trade, then we'll be bankrupt. So I feel a bit stretched.

Hey punk, there's no use crying over spilt water. What's the use getting scared now?

Stop with the useless worries, and sleep, punk. Sleep, sleep sleep.

Ow, my shoulder. Ow. Really.

Uiju Government Office

The Ming Chief Eunuch has a letter for the Emperor.

You must retrieve that letter.

The Chief Eunuch's quarters will always be heavily guarded,

but there is just one exception.

Once the party has reached Uiju,

as per tradition, the Uiju Governor will welcome the officer with a banquet.

You must seize that opportunity.

I received word that the banquet has ended.

So prepare his quarters so he can retire to bed as soon as he arrives.

Yes sir.

You're still awake?

What are you doing outside?

I was sleeping well, then something woke me. Now I can't fall back to sleep.

I was also getting a little hungry. I was wondering if there was anything I could eat.

Ah, the barmaid is asleep. Should I wake her up?

Oh no, no need.

Wait here a moment.

Want a cup?

Sure.

What's this? You already know how to drink alcohol?

Ever since I was young and I was sent on errands to deliver liquor on behalf of the sires at the Jeonokseo,

I tasted some here and there.

From what I know, a trade relationship with someone from Ming is not an easy thing to initiate.

How did you do it?

Our head merchant

has a personal relationship with his Lordship the Chief Eunuch.

We are just extremely lucky.

Have you heard the old saying that "opportunity comes knocking three times in a person's life?"

To me, this opportunity seems like one of those three.

If this transaction plays out successfully,

we can become the greatest merchants in the capital.

Look at you, and here I thought you were just a common thug.

Then when did you start working with the company?

Most thugs and their groups are connected to the dealings of a company in some way.

That is the only way to provide for their families.

Interpreting plays a critical role in this deal,

so don't become ill or anything until we return from Yanjing, okay?

If you feel even a little unwell, you come straight to me and let me know.

I will.

Our head merchant has a personal relationship with his Lordship the Chief Eunuch.

We are incredibly lucky.

Have you heard of the saying that "opportunity comes knocking three times in a person's life?"

To me, it seems like this opportunity may be one of those three.

Interpreting plays a critical role in this deal,

so don't become ill or anything until we return from Yanjing, okay?

Bian Men

Come.

Do you need anything else?

Do you know a man named Atai?

I've never heard of that name before.

Please ask around.

Yes of course my guest.

Who is it that you're asking for?

He is a well known Yeojin tribe hunter that I scouted

while I was working here in Bian Men many years back.

If we can find him,

he will be a huge help in completing the mission.

You go on ahead to the inn.

Yes sir.

Wouldn't it be dangerous on his own?

You don't know much about sire do you?

No.

You don't need to worry about his safety.

Ah... These guys are in the deep end now.

Sorry about this. Have a sip.

Shut up!

Hey! What is wrong with this place?

Shut him up,

or make him stop drinking.

You need to leave now.

Why should I leave?

Hey, drag this man out.

Stop!

Hyungnim!

Must I make such a commotion in order to see your face?

Long time no see, Atai!

Hyungnim!!

Hyungnim.

What happened?

Twenty years ago, when I searched for information on whether or not you had died,

I head you were executed for participating in treason.

I barely prolonged my life.

You're looking well.

I am able to live quite well.

The fact that you are here in Bian Men... Does that mean that you are an agent again?

That is why

I have a favor to ask of you.

Say it.

I need gunpowder and a pyunjeon.(Pyunjeon: a small and short arrow launched from a gun barrel.)

Did you just say pyunjeon?

I've yet to see an arrow that exceeds the performance of the pyunjeons you make.

Will I be able to get my hands on some?

I will help. Who is the target?

That... I will reveal in time.

Hyungnim!

Yes, did you find something out?

Ah, yes. I found a couple of adequate courtesan houses.

You. If you want to consistently glean money from them, you must not be entranced by the gisaengs.

The moment you fall for a gisaeng(courtesan), your money will be gone.

Yes, Hyungnim!

It looks like I'll be able to secure a great sum of money this time.

Oh good.

Who are you?

I am the newly appointed Captain of the Police Bureau, Seong Ji Hyeon.

I already heard that a newly appointed captain was on his way,

but I didn't know it would be someone so young!

I'm a Police Bureau supervisor, Yang Dong Gu. Hope to get along well with you.

Aigoo, it sure is nice to meet you.

Aigoo!

Gleaning money from prosperous courtesan houses, surprise raids on illegal gambling sites to get money,

and snatching more money by threatening Jeonokseo officials that find replacements to serve time in place of prisoners...

You said that it is because the salary for the Police Bureau supervisors isn't significant?

Y-Y-You're the one we s-saw at the t-tavern!

Sire, Captain of the Police Bureau...

The order of rank and hierarchy in the police bureau is a shambles.

What is the meaning of your disheveled clothes?

- Is this your bedroom? - I mean, that's not it...

Do none of you have even the slightest respect towards your superior?

This, well, t-t-this...

Why isn't this staying put!

That heartless rascal. That rude...

He is incredibly rude.

He dares to teach someone who's been on the job since before he was born

about common courtesy? Wow... I am totally dumbfounded.

This has really taken a rotten turn.

What is there to get a headache over? Do you think I haven't confronted men like him before?

We will tame him in no time. You just wait and see.

Ah geez, really...

Sir.

What is it?

Sir.

Among those you know who offer to be beaten instead of the criminals, for money,

please find someone who is up for a real beating.

Oh, how many beatings will he receive?

Fifty floggings.

Fifty is enough to kill someone, sir! (Lee Hyo Seong)

That's exactly why I said to find someone who is up for the task.

Well, who is the criminal that is to be punished? (Yoo Jong Hwe)

- He's my wife's nephew. - Huh?

This scumbag assaulted a middle-class man's wife.

If I could, I would beat him to death with my very hands,

but I can't because of my wife. Hurry, go!

- Hurry there and back. - Sir! Sir!

- I think you should step outside for a moment. - Why?

The captain of the Police Bureau is here.

The chief of the Police Bureau? Why would he come here?

He personally transferred a criminal here.

Has this ever happened before where a head of the bureau personally transferred a criminal here?

No, this is the very first time.

This really is incredible.

Yes, let's get going.

Aigoo, what brings you here sir?

Am I not allowed to come here?

Well it's not that at all, but transferring criminals is for lowly servants.

I came because I heard that they way in which prisoners are managed here is appalling.

What do you mean, appalling?

- Why are you saying that all of a sudden? - Accepting illegal bail money to let go of criminals,

finding those who will be punished instead in exchange for money... Aren't those things a common occurrence here?

Not at all. There is no way those things happen here.

Investigation will reveal whether that is true or not.

I'm warning you. While I am the chief of the Police Bureau,

such illegal acts will be reported immediately to the Ministry of Justice, (Hyungjo: the Ministry of Justice)

and there will be no exceptions.

I'll be on my way first. Finish up here. Lets go.

Yes sir.

Wow...

Who is he? Where did a man like that even come from?

The bureau has also been flipped upside down because of him.

So, we're just going to watch helplessly as we get trampled on?

We tried to tame him, but it looks like that won't work either.

Why?

Yoon Won Hyung is watching his back for him.

What?

He is Yoon Won Hyung's soon to be son-in-law.

Aigoo.

Why, out of all those people...

Why is it Yoon Won Hyung?

Are you the chief of the Police Bureau?

Yes. I'm Sung Ji Hun, the head of the Police Bureau.

The head of the house is waiting for you. Please come in.

I'm his brother in law, Jung Mak Gae.

Ah, okay.

Look at that face! Omo omo!

Oh my!

Did you see him?

Yes.

How does he look?

I think life is so unfair.

What does that mean?

You, who has everything, is now to be wed to a man that looks that handsome.

Really?

Yes, miss.

I've never seen a man that handsome.

I must see for myself.

Miss, miss, miss.

There will surely be a chance later, so please restrain yourself for today.

Why, I'm curious too!

Aigoo, he is handsome!

Ah this is great!

The chief of the police bureau is a position in which you should have a clear idea and opinion on the current political trends.(Sung Ji Hun)

I would like to hear your opinions on the state of this nation's political stage.

This is your first meeting with your son-in-law to be. Why would you ask such a question?

This is an important matter.

I'll gladly share my thoughts with you.

After the tumult caused by unceasing treasonous acts,

the reason why everything was finally able to settle down was because of your clear judgment and resolve.

If given the opportunity, I would like to assist you in what small way I can

to create a more stable nation.

Good. That is indeed what you do.

I heard that your father is quite a wealthy man,(Chunbujang: a more formal and respectful way to call another's father.)

how was he able to accumulate such a large fortune?

My father was not interested in high ranking government positions,

and considered making a fortune as the means to an end in helping the nation and its people.

Therefore, although despite opposition from his noble-class family, he began his career as a merchant and became very successful.

An amazing man indeed.

Ah s, sir.

This is where... er... we will be sleeping. Slee-ping

Yes sir.

Tae Won.

Tae Won.

Tae Won!

Ya. Our quarters is that tent over there.

There?

Tell everyone to unpack and rest.

Ok.

First,

lets unpack our things. Hurry.

Yes sir.

Be careful, lets move.

Hey kiddo. We don't have enough quarters assigned to us this time,

so you'll have to sleep in the same area as the other workers of the trade company.

Oh, I'm alright with that. Don't worry.

It DOES worry me.

Sir.

Did you check if anyone was trailing you?

Yes. There was no one.

The letter that Oh Jang Hyun has? Where is it?

I failed you.

How?

I combed through his quarters, but could not find it.

I suspect that he carried it with him to the banquet.

Uiju was still in Joseon, so it is likely that he did that. We'll have to look for our next opportunity.

That aside, the leader in charge of this mission

will explain the mission to you in great detail tonight.

Lets go.

Sir!

I've brought her.

- Ok Nyeo? - S-Sir...?

H-How did you...

Ok Nyeo... Why are you here?

How about you, sir?

What happened to you, sir?

Do you know Ok Nyeo?

If it is a cause that I must do together with Ok Nyeo...

- Then I can't do it. - Sir!

I told you this before.

Even if the opportunity for you to become a secret intellegence agent arises, to never accept it.

So why? Just why did you choose such a reckless decision?

If I couldn't become a Damo (female government servant) for the Royal Police Bureau,

then I wanted to at least become a secret intellegience agent

in order to fulfill my cause. - No you must not!

- The death of your mother is something you must ignore! - But, Sir!

Were you Ok Nyeo's teacher, sir?

When that child was young, I coincidentally met her.

That child, Ok Nyeo...

She became one of the reason that I had to survive for.

When I was locked up in the basement prison for many years,

and it was a time where I was in a state of chaos, and couldn't find a reason for me to live any longer,

She became my hope.

If this is a great cause that puts the risk of that child's life in danger,

then I can no longer do this.

You are the one that made Ok Nyeo to become a secret intellegient agent, sir.

I've trained hundreds of secret intellegient agents, but I never found one as good as Ok Nyeo.

Even if you are against this, that child will still continue to do this, sir.

If we came this far... We can't stop now.

Sir!

Sir... Please let me do this.

I... I can do this.

Please, Sir!

There were far more guards protecting the envoy's group than we had anticipated.

Just what happened?

When we left Chaekmun, they had about 20 men.

When we crossed the border, more men from border security joined them.

At this point, won't it be difficult to carry out our original plan?

We will drop the first plan...

and go with the second plan.

After Oh Jang Hyun falls asleep tonight, Chulki will sneak in ahead of time and send me a sign,

and then we will execute the plan.

If we shoot fire arrows at the red marks here and there on the tents,

the gunpowder we placed before they arrived will explode and the entire area will be in total chaos.

All will rush out of their tents and run back and forth,

and that includes Oh Jang Hyun, wherever he may be.

When he shows himself, Kang Sun Ho and Chul Ki will assassinate him,

and in that time, Ok Nyeo will sneak into his tent and smuggle out the letter.

Come out quick!

What is this sound?

Tae Won, what is this?

Ya, why are they attacking us?

Ah! Tae Won wait for me!

Tae Won!

Tae Won are you alright?

Wha-what is the meaning of all this?

I don't know yet, but you should evacuate first.

Tae Won!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you?

♪ I fear that you who I've folded away in my memories, will be erased ♪

♪ I cover them with both hands and cry every day ♪

♪ You, and only you, my heart can't let go. ♪

♪ Another day♪ What about Ok Nyeo?

We have failed.

What now? It'll become a secret you will take to the grave.

I hear he is still alive.

What do you mean? They are already all dead.

Look for their whereabouts.

What is that sorrow you hold in your heart?- I was brutally betrayed by someone I trusted.

- He has the evidence.- This opportunity won't come again.

Unless you go crazy, there is no way to resolve this situation!

Kill that man.

Who are you?
