[Episode 10]

Didn't I tell her to leave?

My apologies Your Majesty. She told me she has something she needs to tell you.

Take your leave now.

Your Majesty! Please tell me how the Minister of General Affairs and I have wronged you.

You yourselves should be fully aware of the answer to that, without me having to tell you.

Your Majesty! We have no clue at all

as to what you are talking about.

That... You will come to know when the truth is revealed.

Your Majesty! Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

What did you say?

The Queen Dowager's wrath is deeper and bigger than you had suspected, Daegam.

This is not something we can easily change her mind about.

Then what is the best course of action?

We are now left with but one choice.

We must kill the girl named Ok Nyeo, as soon as we can, and shut her up forever.

Merchant.

Merchant! Merchant.

I must've dozed off.

When did you wake up?

Oh, just moments ago. Over there, because I thought you might be hungry.

Whoa! I was getting hungry, so this is great.

Wow, this looks delicious!

You're not eating?

Oh, I'm going to eat a little later. Eat.

Sit down, kiddo.

Come on!

Here.

It would've been better if we weren't runaways.

I'm sorry... Just because of me...

No, it's not that, kiddo. I'll for sure find a way for you to live through this, so no worries.

- What are you doing? Hurry and eat up! - Yes.

Here, here.

Wow, when did you find time to make all this?

It's really delicious.

Is it good?

You did well!

Wanted Criminal Ok Nyeo... Guilty of treason, escaped from prison; pretty oval-shaped, five feet tall; informants who aid in her capture will be rewarded 100 nyang; a good person of superior intellect, a commoner who has become respectable.

- Oh, Tae Won! - What about the Head Merchant?

He is being transferred from the Police Bureau to the Jeonokseo,

but His Lordship, the Mayor told us he will take care of him,

- so I feel things will go well from here. - What about the Jeonokseo staff?

Starting with the Police Administrative Warden, the Constable, and even the clerks have been compensated by us,

so our Head Merchant won't go through any hardships.

- You worked hard, Hyung. - What do you mean, work?

You said that this was all instigated by the Captain of the Police Bureau, correct?

Yes, I looked into it a little.

His family is Songdo's wealthiest household, so you can't even buy him out.

A person like him with Jung Nan Jung as his support? Whoa.

We are in really big trouble this time.

Sung Ji Hun

How is our investigation for the criminal Ok Nyeo progressing?

Yes, we have put up composite montage sketches all around the city,

and to top it off, I've never seen such a large amount of reward money in all my time here at the Police Bureau.

Everyone is all eyes and ears and frantically searching for her, so she should be captured in no time.

- Is that all you can do? - Pardon?

What I'm asking here is if relying on some reward money,

and sit around indefinitely waiting is enough.

Well... th-then what...

else should we...

What is it you even know about the criminal Ok Nyeo?

Pardon?

She was a Jeonokseo damo and recently took the examination to become a Police Bureau damo.

She is decently trained in martial arts,

and she is clever enough to quote lines from the Gyeongguk Daejeon Hyungjeon (Ministry of Justice Complete Code of Law).

- Is this enough? - And what of her interpersonal relationships?

W-Well, er that! Well, you see...

The first step of investigation is to grasp a criminal's interpersonal relationships and acquaintances.

A girl who was born and raised at the Jeonokseo,

has made close connections with all sorts of petty criminals who have been in and out of Jeonokseo.

She served a man named Lee Ji Ham as her master, and is well acquainted with a conman called Jun Woo Chi.

Above all, her adoptive father is the Jeonokseo Clerk, Ji Chun Deuk.

Go now and analyze the actions of those I have just named.

They will most certainly come in contact with the runaway girl.

Yes.

If you need anything or want to eat anything, let me know.

- Hey, Chun Deuk! - Yes, yes.

Make sure you grant any requests that Head Merchant Gong Jae Myung makes.

Oh, of course.

You really don't need to.

Ah well, for you to have special treatment,

Prison Warden Jeong earnestly requested that of me.

If you experience any inconveniences, it will make me very sad, for sure.

You know how that works, right?

Well, then, please get me a decent straw mat for the floor.

Okay, of course! Go in.

Carefully now.

Think of it as your own home and rest comfortably.

Want to go in and rest with him?

You have a good sense of humor!

Hyungnim! Hyungnim!

What's this? What are you all doing in here? (Gong Jae Myung)

What do you mean, "What are we doing here?" We're here to tend to your needs in here.

What are you standing around for. Place the mat.

Hey!

You all are overreacting. Overreacting, for sure. Jak Doo, come here.

You punk! Aigoo! You have anything?

What are you doing, punks?

Good, good.

Clerk Ji!

Yeah?

Chun Doong wants to meet you.

Where is he?

Enjoy your food! (Jeonokseo)

Yes, yes. Enjoy your food.

Yeoju Daek!

Chun Doong. Where is Chun Doong?

Chun Doong?

Chun Doong!

Chun Doong? Clerk Ji is here to see you.

Hey, where is Ok Nyeo?

She is hiding at a run down cottage on Hwagye Mountain. Nothing to worry about.

- Hwagye Mountain? - Yep.

- Is it a decent place? - There's a place that only I know of.

Oh, okay, that's good.

Caught red-handed, these rascals.

Come inside here.

Ok Nyeo! Ok Nyeo!

Hyungnim Chun Deuk is here!

Drop it.

Who is this?

Don't turn around

I did just as you ordered, sir,

because I believed it was the only way for me to live.

However, what kind of crime did I commit

to be on the run like this?

Tell me. What kind of crime did I commit?

Tell me! Now!

Everything...

is my fault.

What did you just say?

It's my fault.

Undoubtedly, with no excuse,

I was in the wrong.

Driving you to the brink of death,

I now...

to reverse what has been done

lack any power to do so.

Kill me now.

Kill me.

Kill me.

Rather, I feel that dying in your hands is a

way to atone for the wrongs I have done to you.

The one and only way to do so.

Go on.

Even if I kill you, Sir,

what will change?

About Elder Park Tae Soo's death,

there is no way to erase the disgrace of it being my fault.

What use is there in killing you, I ask!

What should I do now?

What should I do?!

What do I need to do!!! Say something!

Please! Please say just anything!

Please sir! What should I... What should I do?

Please save me!! Ah, no.

It's me, Yoon Tae Won. There are policemen spread out everywhere.

Let's go.

Ok Nyeo, we must hurry!

Yes.

Catch them!

Sir, I've brought him.

Oh, yes, of course.

Please, have a seat right here.

Sit down, sit down.

I called you today to have a cup of tea with you.

What are you standing around for?

Oh, of course, of course. I forgot! I forgot!

There, there.

Have a sip.

Did you have any inconveniences at all?

No, Sir. Thanks to your hospitality, Warden Sir,

I'm doing quite well.

Good, good. Associate Administrator Lee! When is Merchant Gong's trial date set for?

Early next month, on the fifth, Sir.

It's not like he committed a grievous felony! Why is it so far out?

Well then, I must send in a petition to the Ministry of Justice, (Jung Dae Sik)

and pull forward the trial date to as early as possible.

Oh, thank you, Warden Sir.

Of course, of course. Have some refreshments.

Here! Try this one, Head Merchant.

Should I try one, too?

Oh, it's delicious! Delicious, I say!

Hyungnim!

Hey, leave!

Understood, Hyungnim. Yes!

What did they say?

Look, money is good, indeed.

The prison warden is practically groveling under me, groveling.

By the way, how much money did you feed them?

Well, 300 nyangs to the warden,

including his underlings, at least 500 nyangs.

The money we spent, we will take back from Jung Nan Jung.

She has to pay the price for messing with me.

What happened to the fellow called Gong Jae Myung?

He has just been transferred from the Police Bureau to Jeonokseo.

Yoon Tae Won will try to do something to get him out quickly,

so tell people to keep a close eye on it.

Yes, Sister-in-Law.

Madam, the Captain of the Police Bureau is here.

I got it. You may leave.

As for you, personally check on how things are going at Angookdong

and let me know.

Yes.

You missed that girl, though. She was in front of your very eyes? (Yoon Won Hyung)

I wasn't able to anticipate that she would be so skilled in the martial arts.

I apologize.

No, no. Compared to how both the Capital and Royal Investigation Bureaus

couldn't even find a trace of her,

you did your due diligence.

The important work starts from here on..

You must capture that wench.

Yes, Your Excellency.

I will certainly catch her and bring her in front of you.

You must meet with our Shin Hye today before you leave.

You can't imagine how anxious she is to meet you.

- Miss, go now. - How can I?

Oh just go on!

- I go by Yoon Shin Hye. - I'm Sung Ji Hun.

If you have time, I would love to treat you to some tea. (Yoon Shin Hye)

Will that be alright with you?

I'm sorry. A lot of urgent work awaits me and I must go. I will drink tea with you at another time.

What?

Did I just get rejected?

Did I just get turned down?!

Well, it looks like it.

What in the world? How could there be such an insolent jerk!

I'm done. Marriage-schmarriage. I don't need this stupid thing.

No matter how insolent he is, it doesn't even come close to your own rudeness, Miss.

Gosh, watch your tongue.

I want to get a hold of the Captain and just tell him everything.

Tell him what?

I want to reveal to him just how ill-tempered our Miss is. I want to show him her true colors.

Gosh, Sister!

Let's go!

Really. No matter how much I rack my brain about this, I can't understand.

You punk, you shouldn't have acted that way. Sure, for Clerk Ji, she's his adoptive daughter, so it makes sense.

But you, punk! Why did you pass up an opportunity to transform your life for the better?

If you had just told me where her hideout was,

you would've been happy because you'd receive reward money. I would've been be happy for receiving a promotion.

It's good for me and you, both. So why did you pass that up, punk!

Sir, don't live like that.

What, punk?

Well, what I mean is, even if I'm just a mere marketplace pickpocket,

I keep my loyalties in place.

Loyalty? Loyalty, my butt.

What do you know about being loyal that you're spewing this nonsense?

I'll show you what being loyal really is.

Tell me now! Tell me who the masked individual that helped Ok Nyeo was!

Tell me now!

Hurry up and tell me!

Who is that man!

How is it going?

Wow, these two are incredibly stubborn.

I've used all kinds of torture tactics I've picked up over the last couple of decades at the Police Bureau,

and yet they haven't opened their mouths about anything.

We have no time here. Obtain a confession from them.

Yes, Sir. You have no need to worry.

Did you really torture them yourself?

Have you ever seen me torture anyone?

Why would I do something so horrific?

Hey, Chun Deuk!

Yes.

If you happen to walk out of here alive...

Oh, yes.

Don't forget how I kept my loyalty towards you.

Sure.

Well, now, I'll get started.

Tell me who the masked man was!

I don't know!!

Tell me!

Why did you hit me for real? It hurts!

What did you do with the poison I gave you?

I have been mixing it bit by bit into the soup, as you instructed me to.

Did you notice anything different in the Madam?

She coughs a lot and I see that her stamina is visibly deteriorating.

Good work. (Min Dong Joo)

If you are successful in this mission, I'll make sure you live a luxurious life.

Who is that?

You don't know him? He is Yoon Tae Won, the Daegam's son from his concubine.

Why would Yoon Tae Won come here?

He has come here frequently, for a long time, and treats the Madam as his own mother.

From time to time he brings sacks of rice and even meat.

Who is the girl that is with him?

That... I'm not sure of, either.

- Go find out. - Yes.

Mother, Tae Won is here!

You're here, Young Master!

Myeong Seol, it's been a while. Is Mother not here?

She should be in.

Madam! Madam! The Young Master is here!

Tae Won, you're here!

Have you been well?

I'm sorry I couldn't come by more often.

No, no. I'm glad that you are even here.

Who is this young woman?

I have a request to make to of you, Mother.

What is it?

Please allow this young woman to stay here for awhile.

Really? Come in.

It's so lonely in this household that a cold wind almost blows about.

So for me, I welcome the warmth of another person.

What is her relationship to you, Tae Won?

Later. I'll tell you later.

By the way, Mother, your voice doesn't seem normal and your complexion doesn't look good, either.

Are you unwell?

No, I'm fine.

Think of this as your own home and make yourself comfortable.

Yes, Madam. Thank you.

You can stay here for a while. Have a seat!

This place is safe, so as Mother said, think of it as your own home and make yourself comfortable.

You told me your Mother passed away when you were little.

Who is that Madam?

That's a long story right there. You'll find out over time.

I... have a favor to ask of you.

Tell me.

Please let me meet the captain of the Royal Protectorate.

Why would you meet the captain of the Royal Protectorate?

While I was imprisoned in the Capital Bureau prison, he visited me.

He told me that if I told him the truth behind the death Elder Park Tae Soo,

that there was a way for me to live.

At the time, my complete trust was in the words of the secret intelligence agent leader, Sir Kang Sun Ho,

so I didn't say a word.

If I were to meet him now and tell him everything...

No. That might not be a good idea.

W-Why?

You may be used once again for political ends.

Don't trust anyone right now.

The only person you can trust is you yourself, Ok Nyeo.

Why are you in such a hurry? Drink slowly.

It's because it pains me to be completely alert.

Is something troubling you?

There has never been a moment in my life that has been as tumultuous as it has been recently.

Geez.

It makes me even more curious as to what could possibly have made you so troubled, Daegam. (Hwang Gyo Ha)

You don't need to know that. Just pour some more drinks.

Yes, Your Excellency.

I feel I must alleviate the pain in Daegam's troubled heart.

If Chief Seong is outside, please come in.

Did you summon me?

Tell So Jung to come in.

Yes, Ma'am.

Who is that?

She is someone who can console your troubled spirits, Daegam.

Now is not the time for me to waste my emotions on a mere gisaeng.

Don't annoy me this way. I'm fine.

You're here.

He is Daegam Yoon Won Hyung. Offer him your greetings.

Why are you just standing there? Serve the Daegam.

What do you think?

Why you. Why did you only just now show me such a treasure?

What is your name?

I go by Lee So Jung.

Allow me to pour you a cup.

Here, you take a cup, too.

Do you know what my dream is?

It's to become Daegam Yoon Won Hyung's concubine.

But, now that I'm old enough to become a retired gisaeng,

that dream is out of my reach forever.

I wish you would fulfill my dream for me.

Me?

Yes, you. If I can see that wench Jung Nan Jung miserably cast aside,

I would have no other wish.

Lee So Jung

I have a different wish, though.

What is it?

I'm not going to tell you because I might jinx it.

Well, anyway, it seems like you have him smitten.

Play hard to get for now.

That's nice. Now I feel like I can live.

Why did you drink so much liquor?

I couldn't bear it all without being drunk.

So you liked the girl named So Jung?

What are you talking about?

That girl who served you last night at Sosoroo.

But... how did you know about that?

Don't you know that I have Sosoroo in the palms of my hands?

Think carefully.

How often have Korean courtesans (gisaengs) that you were interested in vanished into thin air overnight?

It was more than once or twice, wasn't it?

Why do you think that is?

- It's because I maimed them into half cripples and booted them out. - What?

Just as I took Hong Mae's position and now sit in this place,

I never know when another wench will do away with me and my position.

Look now, we have been together for so many years!

How could such a thing happen?

No. You never know how a person's feelings can change.

I'm only protecting my spot using my methods.

If you have truly taken a liking to that girl So Jung, at least for her sake, never meet her again.

Do you understand?

Did you find something out?

- Yes, though I sent a petty worker to the field house, they say there were no traces of him stopping by. - Drat.

Then where did he disappear to?

Because Chun Doong asked to see him,

I saw him leave Jeonokseo. That was the last I saw of him.

Chun Doong... Who is that?

Oh, you know. He's a marketplace pickpocket

who has been in and out of Jeonokseo many many times.

Wait, so he went to meet a burglar and then went missing?

- Don't we need to report this to the police? He could've been kidnapped! - No way!

Does that make any sense to you? What use would kidnapping Clerk Ji be to Chun Doong?

That doesn't make sense!

- Why not? - It doesn't make sense!

What doesn't make sense? I'm asking you, what doesn't make sense?

You and your laughing... Are you looking down on me?

No, that's not it!

He's laughing again! What's not it?

What's the matter?

- This bastard! - Sir!

Do you think I'm a joke?

Just because I'm nice to you all, you walk all over me!

Did you just make fun of me? Are you playing around with me?

Hey! I'm Jung Dae Shik! Jung Dae Shik!

I don't know about other places, but at least here at Jeonokseo,

I'm the law and the heavens is what I'm saying! Do you understand!

Y-You're right! I was wrong! Please forgive me!

Then go think about what you've done!

I'll reflect on it, I will!

- Who am I? - Jung Dae Shik, Jung Dae Shik.

I'm Jung Dae Shik! Jung Dae Shik!

The heavens! Punk!

What? "I'm Jung Dae Shik. Jung Dae Shik"?

Who do you think he is acting as if he is Yoon Won Hyung? That idiotic bastard!

So why would you trigger his temper? He's nothing if not for his pride and inferiority complex.

But, what if Clerk Ji was really kidnapped?

Don't be ridiculous!

Come on now. Hurry! Go along.

I am Yoo Jong Hwe. The Yoo Jong Hwe!

Come on now!

Elder! Elder!

Elder, what happened?

Tisk, tisk. Why are you in such a rush?

Catch a breath

and order another bottle of raw rice wine.

I-I understand.

Tavern maid, get us another bottle of raw rice wine here.

Elder, I'm not a very patient person, so I'm dying of anticipation here. Please tell me, quickly.

Thank you, tavern maid.

Elder...

Elder!

So... try going to the Police Bureau,

because you can meet Chun Deuk there.

Clerk Ji at the P-Police Bureau?

Police Bureau. Chun Deuk.

Supervisor, Sir!

- What is it? - At the Police Bureau right now, Clerk Ji from Jeonokseo

and Chun Doong are being held there, right?

That's top secret even among us here at the Police Bureau. How did you find that out?

Well, people like us need to know the ins and outs of the Police Bureau in order to survive.

You know that person, right?

He is Yoon Tae Won, the head of our trading company.

Could you... please arrange a visit for those two?

Then I'll make sure to give you a lot of this, later.

I can't! Then my life would be at risk!

This case is something that our Captain himself is leading and conducting.

You know who our Captain is right? He is the future son-in-law of Daegam Yoon Won Hyung!

What's the big deal about a son-in-! So what if he's the son-in-law?

I wasn't about to say this but...

about this,

only you should know.

I'm sorry. Here.

Sir.

I-Is that really true?

It is! If I'm lying,

you can cut off my head.

There are many who are watching here, so come to the back door.

Yes, understood.

- How did it go? - It went well. We just need to go to the back door.

Wait, wait.

What did you say to him?

You don't need to know that. Let's go.

Hyungnim!

Aigoo, what brings you here?

Did Ok Nyeo get kidnapped, too?

Ok Nyeo's safe, so don't worry.

I'm here to visit you two.

I have so many bruises.

Both Clerk Ji and I have even withstood torture.

Hey, what do you mean torture.

Anyway, we never gave away your identity.

Thank you. Endure for a while longer, and I'll use any means possible to get you both out.

Surely, they wouldn't kill people like us.

Don't worry about us. Just focus on having our Ok Nyeo

safe. Put your efforts into that task.

I will.

Here, have a seat.

I called you for tea. Have some.

Thank you.

What is your name?

It's Ok Nyeo.

You weren't... a maiden from a high-class household?

No. I... am a Jeonokseo damo.

Jeonokseo damo?

Yes.

But then how did you come to know our Tae Won?

That is...

If it's difficult to talk about, you don't have to.

My apologies, Madam.

No, there are some situations you can't talk about.

I don't know what kind of relationship you have with our Tae Won,

but please comfort our Tae Won's heart.

Although he looks fine on the outside,

he has deep scars within.

How could I and how dare I comfort the merchant's heart.

I don't have that ability, nor right to.

No, no. The way that Tae Won gazed at you was indeed special.

Madam, the Young Master is here!

Place the rice in the shed, and take the meat and the fish to the kitchen.

Yes.

Come this way.

Tae Won.

Mother!

We still have leftovers from the food you brought us last time.

Why did you bring more?

I heard that there was some good quality rib-eye so I had to bring some.

- Myung Seol! - Yes, Young Master.

This is restorative herbal medicine for mother, so brew it with great care.

Yes, Young Master.

Clerk Ji and Chun Doong are well, so you have no need to worry.

How has your stay been? Any inconveniences?

For someone like me on the run, I sometimes wonder if I can be this comfortable.

That's how much Madam is too good to me.

I bet. She is someone I like sincerely.

She is a warm person, right?

I often pondered on such things.

If I had a mother, what would she have been like...

They were all mere imagination, and never felt realistic,

but through being with Madam, I was able to say, "A mother is someone like her."

Those thoughts occurred to me.

That's a relief.

While you are here, forget about those that bother you.

Yes.

What is it?

I am here to meet with Daegam Yoon Won Hyung.

Who are you? Did you make an appointment beforehand?

I am Yoon Tae Won. If you tell him that, he will know.

Yes. Please wait a moment.

Is someone here?

Yes, a man named Yoon Tae Won wants to meet His Excellency.

What?

Yoon Tae Won? What is he here to see Daegam for?

I don't know that either. In any case, if he were to meet with Daegam right now,

it wouldn't be good for Sister-in-law at all.

Of course not. Daegam has forgotten all about Tae Won's existence.

If Daegam meets him now, it'll be like poking a hornet's nest.

Where is he right now?

He's waiting at the front gate.

Who are you and why do you wish to meet with Daegam?

I am Yoon Tae Won.

If you tell my name to the Daegam, he'll know who I am.

So, please hurry and let him know.

Why do you wish to meet with Daegam?

That is none of your business.

"None of your business?" How dare you! Who do you think you are to speak in such a way?

What are you all doing? Throw him out this instant.

Yes.

Stay back.

I know very well who you are.

And I also know that you have a grudge against me.

Therefore, you will never be able to meet with Daegam.

If you try to meet with His Excellency again,

you will die by my hand.

Get lost.

Oh, you frightened me! What are you doing here!

Well, I was just wondering if I could help with anything.

There's no need for you here so please leave!

Alright.

What happened?

Well... that's...

Is there a man here by the name of Yoon Tae Won? (Gi Choon Soo)

Who might you be?

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Are you Yoon Tae Won?

Yes, Sir.

I am the Captain of the Royal Protectorate.

- Yes, Sir. - The Captain of the Royal Protectorate...?

Have a seat.

Sir, please take a seat here.

You. Will you leave us alone?

Oh, of course, Sir.

Please arrange a meeting for me and the Captain of the Royal Protectorate.

Why do you need to meet with the Captain of the Royal Protectorate?

While I was imprisoned in the Capital Bureau prison, he came to see me.

He said that if I told him the truth behind the death of Elder Park Tae Soo,

there would be a way for me to live.

Wow, that girl must have committed a grievous sin!

There are these notices everywhere.

Wanted Criminal Ok Nyeo... Guilty of treason, escaped from prison; pretty oval-shaped, five feet tall; informants who aid in her capture will be rewarded 100 nyang; a good person of superior intellect, a commoner who has become respectable.

I have heard that you accompanied an envoy from Ming

and traveled to Yanjing.

Therefore, I have a couple of questions for you.

Go ahead.

I heard that the person in charge of interpretng for your trade company,

was a woman named Ok Nyeo.

How did she join the trade company?

She was referred by the interpreter Lee Jeong Gook.

Can you tell me about Ok Nyeo in detail?

As you already know, Sir, she accompanied us to Yanjing as your interpreter,

but before we reached Yanjing, the envoy from Ming, His Lordship the Chief Eunuch

was murdered.

With that incident, Ok Nyeo also disappeared from the trade company.

That is all I know.

Hurry, hurry.

Merchant! Merchant!

Why would you come here?

I've figured out who that woman is.

Which woman?

The woman that came with Yoon Tae Won.

Who is she?

She is the woman who is wanted and who has her composite montage sketch posted up all over the marketplace!

What?

I am currently searching for Ok Nyeo.

If you should ever find out her whereabouts, please let me know.

I need to meet Ok Nyeo in order for her to live.

I know nothing.

Alright.

Sister-in-Law! Sister-in-Law! We've found her.

We found out where that wench, Ok Nyeo, is.

Where is that? Where is she?

She's with the Big Madam at Angookdong.

Angookdong? Why would that wench be there?

I don't know the full details, but Yoon Tae Won brought her there.

What?

Hurry, let Daegam and the Police Bureau know.

Yes.

Move aside, move aside!

Supervisor Yang, you head to the back and block off the escape routes.

Yes, Sir. Let's go!

Yes, Sir!

Archers, you go toward the walls.

Yes, Sir.

The girl is well-trained in martial arts, so everyone must be wary.

Yes, Sir.

Let's go.

Stop right there! If you don't obediently get tied up, your entire body will become the archers' target.

Tie her up immediately!

Yes, Sir.

Let's go.

What is it?

I'm the Captain of the Royal Protectorate, Gi Choon Soo.

I'm the Captain of the Police Bureau, Sung Ji Hun. What is all this?

This criminal will have to come with us the Royal Protectorate.

What are you talking about, right now?

Why would the Royal Protectorate take a criminal captured by the Police Bureau?

This felon was captured at Daegam Yoon Won Hyung's orders, so step aside!

Shut your mouth! The reason why the Royal Protectorate must take this criminal with us,

is because of Her Majesty the Queen Dowager's orders.

If you don't plan on disobeying the Queen Dowager's orders, hand the criminal over to us at once!

Your Excellency!

Oh!

How did it go? Did you catch her?

Well...

Stop stalling and tell us quickly!

Sh-She has been taken by the Royal Protectorate under Her Majesty, Queen Dowager's orders.

Then do you mean she will meet Her Majesty, the Queen Dowager?

In fact, she should have arrived at Her Majesty, the Queen Dowager's quarters by now.

What are you doing?

Yes, Sir.

Please notify Her Majesty the Queen Dowager that Ok Nyeo is here.

There is no need to be afraid. All you need to do is to tell her the truth.

Let's head in.

This is Her Majesty, the Queen Dowager. Pay your respects.

Are you Ok Nyeo?

Yes, Your Highness.

Come closer.

Come even closer and have a seat.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I heard that you were with Park Tae Soo during his last moments.

Tell me what exactly transpired in great detail.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Whatever that wench might say to the Queen Dowager, you must deny it all.

Of course, I should.

Also, you must emphasize that Park Tae Soo had treasonous motives.

Including yourself, Daegam, the fact that he is someone who could backstab Her Majesty

- must be repeated many times. - I will, I will.

Tell me about your relationship with Park Tae Soo.

Go on, tell me.

When I was 15,

in the underground cell at Jeonokseo,

was where I had first met Elder Park Tae Soo.

He had such a strange appearance

that meeting him was frightening at first.

But not too long after,

I became his pupil.

His pupil?

Yes, Your Majesty.

From him I learned

literature and martial arts,

and because of that, after numerous twists and turns,

I became a secret intelligence agent.

And in the end,

together I was able to

go on a mission with him.

To me... on top of being a teacher,

he was more like a father.

He was so kind to me.

She is meeting with Her Majesty, the Queen Dowager right now.

You made the wiser decision.

She will live once Her Majesty hears the entire truth.

What will happen to Daegam Yoon Won Hyung?

I don't know for sure yet. But he will definitely pay the appropriate price.

Even if he is the younger brother of the Queen Dowager? Is that possible?

Even if he is a younger brother that Her Majesty adores,

this is not a situation that she can simply gloss over.

When I... When I... ran to our first rendez-vous point,

I only found Elder Park Tae Soo.

He had taken a sword to the stomach, and was severely wounded.

I tried with all my bodily strength to save him,

but all I could do was to stop the bleeding.

Your highness, the Minister of General Affairs and Jung Nan Jung wishes to see you.

Send them in.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Have a seat.

Did Park Tae Soo leave any last words with you?

He said that all of this was His Excellency Yoon Won Hyung's

pre-meditated conspiracy.

You wench! How dare you say such nonsense!

A conspiracy? What conspiracy do you mean?

Your Majesty, don't believe her, Your Majesty.

Shut your mouth!

Your Majesty, we have no need to keep listening to the words of such a lowly wench.

I told you to shut your mouth!

Keep going.

He said that he had a old ill-fated grudge with Daegam Yoon Won Hyung,

and so, to a secret intelligence officer who was on the mission with me,

he gave an order to murder Elder Park Tae Soo.

I need to prepare a gift that the Queen Dowager will be very pleased with.

You have made a clever suggestion.
