THE TALE OF LADY OK

How could you leave like that?

The person you want to marry is not me.

Do you dislike me so much
that you are acting like

you have multiple personalities?

That is not it.

Young Master, I am…

I am…

the daughter of Lord Kim Nak-soo…

Lady So-hye's…

Come over here.

- It is not her.
- She looks like her.

I said, it is not her!

It is not her. Get over here.

It is not her!

Spread out and look for her already!

Die, you maggot-like wench!

Those scoundrels and that lady
seem to have moved on to Songju County.

I did think she would still be after me…

but I did not expect she would come here.

She lost the man
she was in marriage talks with to you,

and you poured a chamber pot on her.
I would chase you to the afterlife too.

You must be very surprised.

I was prepared to
accept any secret of yours.

But to be honest, I was surprised.

And I am glad that you did not
reject my proposal because of me.

I know that I must do it,

but I am afraid of getting married.

I may have no choice
but to act like a noblewoman now,

but if I get married,
I am bound to have children.

How can the child of a slave…

dare to carry on a nobleman's family name?

Please, Young Master.

You must keep this a secret.

If you are worried
that I may reveal your secret,

shall I tell you a secret of mine
that should never come to light as well?

How can your secret
even come close to mine, Young Master?

I did not want to get married either.

I cannot…

lie with a woman.

Pardon?

If this secret gets out,

I cannot escape death either.

So please forgive me

for not being honest.

You promised you would save me once,
did you not?

Yes.

Then,

marry me and become
the daughter-in-law of the magistrate.

I will become your safe haven, my lady.

I think this is how
you and I can both survive.

If it becomes so,
even if someone recognizes you,

we can simply say that she resembles you,
the magistrate's daughter-in-law.

As you know,

there are some people
who resemble one another in this world.

Helper may guide the bride out.

The bride may bow twice.

The groom may bow once.

She is far more beautiful than I imagined.

I know.

Who would possibly think
that she is the dirty Goo-deok?

Even her own mistress
could never recognize her.

I am done watching this. Let us go now.

Why?

Does your heart break
seeing her like this?

So why did you have to
come here and go through this?

You see, to artists,

even pain like this becomes
the groundwork for their art.

Anyway, I have seen enough, so let us go.

Since it has already come to this,

let us sprinkle some salt on that wound
for the sake of art.

Let us take a good look at the groom.

Let me see.

What on earth?

What… How can this be?

How can there be someone
who looks exactly like you?

Were you a twin, Young Master?

No, would your mother by chance have
also had relations with the magistrate...

- Why you…
- My dirty mouth!

What nonsense is that?

That is how surprised I am.

Come now.
He does not resemble me that much.

He does not just resemble you.
You are exactly alike.

I thought you replicated yourself.

He does have a handsome face.

But I do not know about the resemblance.

It would be like
looking in a looking glass.

Then,

why did she marry
someone who resembles me?

Pardon?

Do you suppose she did it
so as not to forget me?

How did you end up there?

Is it not bizarre?

Of all the men out there,

why did she marry
someone who resembles me?

If it is the same face,
I would choose him too.

Why?

What is wrong with me? I am very popular.

You are popular as an artist.

But honestly,
you are not popular as a man.

A man? Honestly?

Honestly, the son of the magistrate

who is very rich
and skilled in martial arts

is far better than
a homeless professional storyteller

who is the son of a concubine
that travels around the nation.

Do not use honesty
as an excuse to cross the line!

You could not marry her anyway
because of the difference in statuses.

Please forget about Goo-deok

and let us leave Chungcheong Province.
I am sick of it.

But how strange is it? Gosh.

Why am I so hesitant to leave?

Oh, my.

Father, there they come.

The weather is also so beautiful today.

Go on in.

My lady, this is your place.

May I really use this place?

Of course. This is a library just for you.

Father prepared a legal advocate office
in front of the government office as well.

Think of me as your father now.

I will be a trustworthy support for you.

I will give my best,
not only as a legal advocate

but also as the daughter-in-law
of the Seong Family.

Well, as you do that,

if you could give me a grandchild
that will call me "Grandfather,"

that would be absolutely perfect.

It is too soon for that, is it not?

It is not.

You must hasten.

You are making me blush.

Why does this household
give uniforms to slaves?

- How do I look?
- Oh, my. You look 10 years younger.

You could get married, Do-kki.

- Really?
- Enough with that nonsense.

You disloyal fool. Did you not say
that you would die with the Ok Family?

So why did you come along?

You are hurting my feelings.

Can you live separate from me, Mak-sim?

I cannot.

Even if you scold me all the time,

I can only live if I see you
every morning and evening.

Every morning and evening,

I feel this anger from within
when I see your face.

Do you mean that?
Do you dislike me that much?

If you took a civil service exam
for being ugly,

you would come in first place.

That is a good thing!

- Being in first place is good, is it not?
- My goodness.

- Is that what you think of me?
- Gosh.

What kind of alcohol is this
that it smells so awful?

That is yin yang huo wine
made from barrenwort.

Mr. Gong from the linen store
drank this and had six sons.

- What?
- You know,

even an 80-year-old man's urine can
reach 1000 li with just a shot of this.

Oh, my goodness! That is so inappropriate!

Why are you being so shy?

Mine goes 10,000 li.

Since we are back home,
please sleep comfortably in your room.

Will that be all right?

Since you must train
for the military officer exam,

you must sleep comfortably.
I will let the household know that.

There will be nights
when I cannot come home

as I must train for the exam.

Would you like another glass?

That is enough. I must go out now.

At this hour?

I have…

much to do.

They made a fool out of my daughter!
How dare he!

What am I supposed to do
about this humiliation?

I am sure the magistrate has a weakness.

When I get a hold of that weakness,

I will twist his neck
until there is no life left in him.

One.

Two.

One.

Two.

One.

As soon as Mun-su joins,
we should move to a safe house.

More people have joined,

so I am concerned about the training.

Will you be retrieving
Mun-su yourself as well?

Of course.

You are married now.
What if your wife finds out?

Your wife does not know
what you are doing, does she?

I suppose I should be careful
so that she does not find out.

HEART

HEART

"One must keep social distance from now.

If more than five gather, you will
be considered traitors and be punished.

Bear this in mind."

What on earth?

First, they forced people to marry
and now keep a distance?

Why does this king have so many things
he tells us to do and not do?

He became a king through a coup.
So that must be what he fears the most.

He does not know
when the traitors would come after him.

How can he sleep comfortably?

That is about Hanyang.
There are no traitors in this countryside.

Look around. There are not any.

Lord Bak Jun-gi,

I heard you became the Mining Inspector
of Chungcheong Province.

Thank you for coming to my humble home.

How can you say such a thing?

Are we not like brothers?

Is the Minister of Defense well too?

The truth is,

the Minister of Defense has asked me
to make you a special offer.

Pardon?

Take a look.

Is this not outcrop?

That is all gold over there.

I found this outcrop

in that Unbong Mountain over there.

Unbong Mountain?

Unbong Mountain of Cheongsu County?

That is right.

He wants you to mine the gold
and send it to him?

If I send the amount he wants,

the rest will become ours.

Do you not know what will happen

if you do not report
the outcrop you found?

That is why we must hide it well.

Did you forget that we came down here

because you took the blame
for the minister's corruption?

Will you be used
by him and Bak Jun-gi again?

Used?

In return for that, I became chief,

and you are able to lead
Mother's Sanctuary and the school.

Do you think I can do that
because I am the chief's wife?

I am the one who earned my position
in Mother's Sanctuary and Cheongsu School.

All right.

Because of the strict magistrate,
I cannot siphon the tributes.

I am becoming desperate!

I do not even have marital funds
for our Deok-hun,

so I cannot find him a proper spouse.

- You cannot do it.
- My lady.

What if the magistrate finds out
and reports it to the royal court?

You will be deposed as chief,
and we will be ruined!

My lady!

That is ludicrous!

Do not mention this again.

Throwing away the gold rolling in
for fear of the magistrate.

That makes no sense.

I finally feel understood.

I will help you with Lady Kim,
so keep it from her.

Will you do that for me?

Who knew something so spectacular
was buried in Unbong Mountain?

If you fund the gold mining,

I will give you
half of the profit as promised.

That is a given.

But since there is a huge risk,

we should set a condition.

Become in-laws?

Are you saying we should wed
my Deok-hun with Seon-hui?

Seon-hui has nowhere to go
after what happened.

You must take responsibility.

Why is it our fault
that the magistrate changed his mind?

Besides, as there are talks of marriage
of my Deok-hun in Hanyang,

I do not think it is possible.

We will buy him a house
in an expensive part of Hanyang.

We will also give him
all the support he needs from now on.

Do they not look good together, my lady?

Yes.

We must hasten our wedding preparations.

Next.

Number 26.

Next.

Fish shop.
You just cut the line, did you not?

Go to the back of the line, will you?

I am watching you all, so stay in line.

Your mother did donate farmland
to Deokheung Temple.

How could she give her hand signature?

She is not even herself. My goodness.

Then, go to the physician

and get a report
about your mother's illness.

If she signed off on it
when she was not well,

you can claim that it is invalid.

Is that really so?

I must go and ask for it now.

Thank you so much, my lady.

Young Master.

I found these on my way here.

Oh, my. Thank you so much, Young Master.

The weather is so nice.
Shall we go for a walk together?

I simply came

to thank you for giving out
rice cakes at the school.

Why did you not tell me that
you came in first in finishing your book?

You are Yun-gyeom's precious wife.

You do not have to try so hard
to fill the void of my late mother.

You can tell me anything.

I will help you.

You cannot help me in everything, my lady.

For example, the archery contest?

You hit the mark, my lady!

My lady, how can you…

I was nervous as it has been so long.
But I have still got it.

Father.

Father, did you see it?

I did.

So, are you skilled
in martial arts as well?

I learned a little from my brother.

By the way, what brings you home so early?

I have a bit of a headache
as I have been working hard lately.

You should see a physician
and get some medicine.

It is all right. I simply need to rest.

I will not bother you,
so keep shooting arrows.

Young Master.

All right.

Look at the target
from below the bow hand.

Put your weight on the front.

Stop.

The only variable is the wind.

Shoot.

Oh, no. Hurry.

Hurry up.

Do not harm us.

Do not harm us.

Do not harm us.

Why go through the trouble of climbing
a wall in the middle of the night?

Please let us go. Our father is sick.

At least let Bong-soon go. Please.

- Please!
- Quiet! You disgusting vermin.

Put shackles on their ankles and
lock them up so they cannot run again.

- Yes, my lord. Stay still!
- No, please!

No, please, no.

- Bong-soon.
- Come.

Please.

Please. My Bong-soon…

Let go of me!

You sold your child.
Now you want her back?

Why would I sell my child?

He said she would learn business.

He promised to feed her well
when he took her away.

So why are you locking her up,
you bastards!

You fool.

This is the document you signed.
Let us go!

- Are you all right?
- Are you okay? Get up.

He has been beaten everywhere.

My goodness.

It is a slave sale document.

Forced enslavement is illegal.

So they took hand signatures
of illiterate people

and took the children away?

The office's seal is on it
so that it is not an issue.

Those brutes must have
forged the document as well.

Please help me.

Please save my Bong-soon.

MYEONGJU MERCHANT GROUP

This is the government office?

He may have really sold Bong-soon.
We must find out the truth first.

I understand that clearly,
but why do we have to go in disguise?

And why do you look like that, my lady?

This way I can move around easily.

Can you do well, Kkeut-dong?

I really cannot do well, my lady.

You must do well.

Your limbs will be torn into pieces
if you are caught acting like a nobleman.

My limbs.

What brings you here?

I heard there was a painting
of the artist Hwi-suk of Qing here.

By the way, I am…

Jin Hyeok of Songju County.

Why yes. Please come in.

Let us go.

I heard you received many paintings.

Yes, if you go up there,
you will see many nice products.

Would you look at that?

It is an exquisite piece
where nature dwells in the margin.

You have a keen eye, my lord.

This is a piece
that came from Qing yesterday.

What about this one?

I have not seen you before.

I am Lord Jin's servant.

I am looking for the latrine.

You look like a girl.

Come over here.

My lord, I have been waiting for you.

Let us go.

- Give me some.
- Give me some.

- I am hungry.
- Please help.

- Give me.
- Give me.

- Give me some.
- Give me some.

Give me.

- Give me some.
- Give me some.

- Give me.
- Give me.

- Give me.
- Give me.

- Give me some.
- Give me some.

I am hungry.

Silence!

Are there any that are
smaller and stronger than the others?

Except for a few, they are all small.

Look over here.

Both of them are 15 years old,
but he is much smaller.

Is that one a boy or a girl?

He is the son of a nobleman, my lord.

Are you trying to get us in trouble?

Do not worry.

He was used as a plaything
in a gisaeng house

and then abandoned.

Father.

Why Mun-su!

He was caught wearing girls' clothes,

so he was beaten close to death
and kicked out.

I have a man following the magistrate,
so I will contact you when he leaves.

Yes, my lord.

It is not easy being in disguise
as a nobleman.

I must tell Father as soon as possible.

I forgot to bring Master Yun-gyeom's
clothes to the training center.

You can go there tomorrow.

Yes, my lady.

What?

Master Yun-gyeom should be
at the training center,

so what is he doing there?

That place is a gisaeng house.

He must be having a drink
with his friends who trained together.

Let us pretend not to see it.

Still, he just got married.
He should come home when he is resting.

How can he do that? My goodness.

He will come home when it is time.

Do not tell anyone, Kkeut-dong.

So you are Mun-su.

Who are you?

CHEONGSU COUNTY

You did not see the face
of the man who was buying the children?

No, Father.

All I heard was
that this was the final deal.

Someone sent me this warning letter.

Someone from Myeongju Merchant Group
is having me followed.

It says that they are trying
to sell the children when I am not here.

Who could have sent you this?

Let us not wait a moment
and save them immediately.

Then, we will not find out
who was trying to buy them and why.

Spread a rumor that I will be
going on a work-related trip

to the provincial office tomorrow.

We will order some trustworthy men
to keep an eye on the merchant group

and follow them.

I will help as well.

- You may not.
- You do not have enough men.

Above all, you need someone
to care for the children.

I said, no.

I will follow quietly from afar.
I can take care of...

I said, no!

No.

My lady.

My lady.

What is it? Do not run.
Is something the matter?

Master Yun-gyeom is home.

- Now?
- Go on in. I will prepare some drinks.

My lord…

HEART

My lady.

I came by to see your face,
but I was disappointed you were not here.

But I am glad to see you now.

I heard you just arrived.

Where are you going now?

The exam is very soon.

I thought I could focus better
if I prepared elsewhere.

May I be curious about

or ask about the brand on your shoulder?

Did you see it?

It must be…

something I should not ask about.

Give me a few days.

I will tell you everything when I return.

Let us get some rest here.

Take a brief rest.

Move faster!

They will reach Gyeongsang Province soon.

Did he really say that he would come back?

He promised to save all of us.

What did you just say?

Tell me! Why you…

Hey!

- Get up!
- Get moving.

- Get up.
- Get up.

Darn it.

Gosh, darn it.

Magistrate.

Where were you…

taking those children?

If I tell you,

I will die.

What are you doing? Attack!

- Chun-sam!
- Where are you?

Do not come close!

Chun-sam!

Chun-sam!

- Go and save the children.
- Yes, my lord!

Get them!

Get them!

Get them.

Go and get them.

Mun-su, let us go.

Let us go.

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

Did you see his face?

I did not see his face.

Do not worry.

Let us take you home. Yes.

How dare he set up a trap?

If you ran away,
you should have gone elsewhere.

How could you bring them here?

What if you are discovered?

Do not worry.

Seeing he asked where we were taking them,
he does not know where this is.

These children are the same.

I will bring more children
if you need more. Do not worry.

I will not let that magistrate
get away with this!

The children do not know
the destination either.

The merchant group ran away
and we lost a few children.

This is quite troublesome.

If it was not for the man who helped us,
we would have been in greater danger.

Who on earth could that man be?

He seems to be the same man
as the one who sent me the warning.

HOUSE OF DEVOTED HEARTS

HEART

I was on my way to bring you here.

Where is my husband?

Why were you in such a dangerous place?

That is what I want to ask you.

Why were you there? How did you...

Are you hurt?

What on earth are you doing here?

You bring children to this secret place
to do military training?

What is the brand on your shoulder?

You are not plotting
to commit treason, are you?

I am the head of
the Devoted Hearts Association.

The brand on my shoulder
signifies I am part of the association.

And I save and protect
children like myself.

Are you saying all of these children
are sexual minorities?

Yes.

That is why you sent
the warning to your father

and only brought that child over.

Because Mun-su has nowhere to go home to.

When people see
someone different than themselves,

they harass, beat, and even kill them.

That child over there

cannot use one arm
because he was beaten so badly.

And this child…

tried to take his own life as it was
too hard to bear, and I saved him.

I am teaching them how to fight
to defend themselves just in case.

I am not giving them military training
or plotting a conspiracy.

I understand what you are doing,

but this is too dangerous at the moment.

I cannot do nothing

while children die
simply for being different.

I will create…

a world where being different is accepted.

I do not…

I do not understand

why you must go this far.

Did you not say
everyone was equal in this world?

I thought at least you would understand.

My goodness, Deok-hun.

All right.

I am getting drunk.

Let us raise our glasses.

Cheers.

What if we get arrested
for plotting a conspiracy?

They said less than five.

Look. There are four.
One, two, three, four.

There are three. I must urinate.

My goodness.

Anyway, congratulations
on your nuptials, Deok-hun.

You get to have
the beautiful Lady Seon-hui.

But did you know?

Your bride almost became
the magistrate's daughter-in-law?

Yuhyangso tried to marry her off
to the magistrate's son but failed.

It is clear that your father has
lost power since the new magistrate came.

Is it not also because of the magistrate
that Do-gwang's family

was ruined and ran away?

We cannot even do what we want
about our own slaves in Cheongsu County.

Please stop.

Please. Why are you doing this?

Hey, what is going on?
What is the matter now?

This is unbelievable.

This is not a girl. This is a boy.

What?

I tried to hug him and was shocked.

How disgusting.

You must be mistaken.

She does not look like a boy.
She is so pretty.

See for yourself.

Then, let me see.

Do not move.

There is nothing.

- Hey, you must check below.
- Hold still.

You sold alcohol
while disguised as a girl.

How dare you point a knife at us?

I simply played music as a musician.

I never said I was a girl.

His voice is disgusting.

You had better speak properly.

What will you do?
Will you stab me or something?

I am protecting myself

since I am always harassed like this.

Harassed? You are not even human.
How dare you!

How did something so disgusting
end up in Cheongsu County?

Let us kill him.

How did the magistrate not know
something like this was in Cheongsu?

Look here. Take him to Yuhyangso now.

Chief Lee will behead this man
and restore order in this county.

That will restore honor to Yuhyangso.

How is it that you are taking away…

an innocent person?

What is Yun-gyeom's wife doing
at a gisaeng house?

I was on my way home after consulting,

but I had to speak up
about this horrible matter.

This is not your concern as a woman.

Take him to Yuhyangso now!

If he committed a crime,
he must go to the office.

Why are you taking him to Yuhyangso?

Yuhyangso's role is to keep
the order and custom of the village.

Then, I will inform the government office
that Yuhyangso took away

an innocent person.

Take him to the office.

The magistrate let
this monster roam freely. Let us see…

how he reacts.

Hae-gang was taken
to the government office?

I was barely able to stop them
from taking him to Yuhyangso.

It does not matter where he is taken.
He will be beheaded anywhere.

What will you do?
Are you going to save him from the office?

Yes, that is what I must do.

Why are you being like this, my lord?

If you are a legal advocate,
you should not stop me,

but find a way to help
the innocent one who is arrested.

Are slaves the only weak ones to you?

Why is that?
Is it because you were a slave?

How could you say that?

I apologize. I was so desperate.

Hae-gang was…

the first child I saved.

Are you all right, boy?

Young Master Yun-gyeom

found me when I was
on the verge of dying and saved me.

Since then,

we have helped children like ourselves.

It felt like…

our purpose in life.

I just wanted to…

live an ordinary life.

How is it that you let
such a disgusting thing

live in Cheongsu County?

How busy were you

that you were not concerned
of the safety of the people?

What if that thing seduced
the men of Cheongsu County

and spread a disease?
What will you have done then?

For the sake of Cheongsu County,
you must kill him this instant.

- Kill him!
- Kill him!

- Kill him!
- Kill him!

- Kill him!
- Kill him!

- Kill him!
- Kill him!

- Kill him!
- Kill him!

- Kill him!
- Kill him!

Kill him.

According to Yuhyangso's will,

this man will be beheaded

for the sake of Cheongsu County.

- Die!
- Kill him!

- Kill him!
- Kill him!

What is my lady doing?

Why is she…

Legal Advocate Ok Tae-young
will defend him.

Did you lose your mind?

How dare you go against
your father-in-law's ruling?

You do not need to defend this man.
You may go home.

Do you want me
to pick and choose whom I defend?

He is not a human being.

He is a human being.

He is a victim who was assaulted…

and imprisoned without cause.

As a human being,

anyone must be ruled fairly by law
regardless of their status or situation,

so how is it that you are ruling
according to what Yuhyangso wishes?

No law exists for people like him,
so they cannot be protected by law.

That means there is no law
that says they must be killed either.

Who cares about that law of yours?

How dare a woman

try to change around
the custom of Cheongsu County?

We must stop the reckless murder!

"Murder?"

Must I continue
to hear this nonsense, Magistrate?

Will you let this monster go on living?

There is no law,
but I request that you follow a precedent.

What precedent?

It is the ruling on Nam Chun-gil
of Somun Township

on August 12th in the year of Gyeongmyo.

The king said,

"Nam Chun-gil who was born with both
male and female organs is a sick person,

so do not interrogate him
but send him away and let him live alone."

In the Book of Documents,

there is a line that says one must be
very careful in giving a sentence.

Even the king said that one
should not rashly kill a subject

that was given from the heavens.

So how can you behead him

for being different
when there is no law about it?

I will postpone the ruling on this person.

- What…
- I will send a report to the royal court

and after I receive an answer,

I will give a ruling
according to the orders.

Hae-gang went back to
Devoted Hearts House instead of prison.

I think he can stay there
until the royal court sends an answer.

In the meantime,
I will close down Devoted Hearts House

and move to a safe house.

My lady,

thank you very much for helping Hae-gang.

You said I only helped slaves
because I was one,

so how could I stand that?

I did not expect you to be
someone who holds grudges.

Should I quit everything

and live as the eldest son
of the Seong Family?

If you tell me to,

I will do so.

What is the point in saying that?

You know that I cannot

ask you to do that.

I have not seen you in so long.

We have a new one.

Maybe next time.

Goodbye.

He should visit a physician
and be examined,

but Father is too busy.

If this medicine does not work, let us
close down his business or break his back.

I said, no!

You cannot buy medicine on credit.
Go away!

Please, sir.

My father will get all better
if he can have some medicine.

Bring money. I will give it to you then.

- Give me some rice soup.
- Yes. Please wait.

Goodbye.

Thank you so much, Lady Legal Advocate.

Eat up.

Why are you staring at them
in the middle of eating?

Do you see a ghost on those potatoes?

I was reminded of Chun-sam who was
with me at Myeongju Merchant Group.

He was always hungry.

I hope he is not starving somewhere.

The magistrate is still looking for him.

He asked for help in Gyeongsang's offices.

Can you wait a little?

Gyeongsang Province?

I do not think it is there.

What? Do you know something?

Did you not say that
you did not know where you were going?

We do not know where we were going.

What? Are you playing games with us?

Did you hear something?

I heard while I was boiling potatoes
on the day we were leaving.

He clearly said that we were
going to go and turn back around.

Go and turn back around?

To where?

To a mountain that is very close.

To a mountain that is close?

Unbong Mountain?

Can we really share what is left over
from what we sent the minister?

It is a reward for what you two have done.

Of course.

There was some interference.
I apologize for the delay.

If it was not for that magistrate…

The magistrate will be searching
Unbong Mountain from tomorrow.

What? How did he find out?

What do we do?

- Stop everything for now.
- Yes, my lord.

Stop! Stop your work!

I am hungry.

I cannot do anything.

Shut that mouth of yours.

Darn it. I should have gone with Mun-su.

If I went with Mun-su,

they would have fed me
and taught me martial arts.

What did you just say?

Teach you martial arts? Who?

Training in martial arts
in times like this.

Could they be traitors?

I knew it. The heavens are on our side.

The magistrate will be too busy
catching the traitors.

Where did Mun-su go?

If you tell me now,
I will give you plenty of food.

At the break of dawn tomorrow,

we will split up
and search Unbong Mountain.

- Do you understand?
- Yes, my lord!

My lord, the provincial governor
is on his way.

What do you mean?

Traitors are receiving military training
at Devoted Hearts House.

No one is here!

Look, there is not a single person here.

Exactly. How can there be
no one at a gisaeng house?

They must have gone into hiding.

Is this not proof of
plotting a conspiracy?

Darn it.

Where is this breeze coming from?

This place is done for. You must go.

I cannot do that, Hae-gang.

You must not get caught.

How can I leave you?

Leave it to me. Go!

Go! Please hurry!

What are you burning?

Is it evidence of
your treasonous activity?

Treason?

I was simply helping the poor children.

Is that so?

It is a misunderstanding.
I will tell the magistrate everything.

All right.

You cannot do that

because you must die as a traitor here.

HEART

This was in the secret annex
of Devoted Hearts House too.

How did you not know
that they were plotting this?

Not only did he not know this,
but when my son brought him in,

the magistrate and his daughter-in-law
let this traitor go.

You must capture all the remnants
of the traitors right away.

When the king finds out
about the treasonous activity here,

you will be held responsible for it.

I will delay the report, so catch them.

That is how you can survive.

You will have to
prioritize this above all else.

Stop the search in Unbong Mountain.

Yes, my lord.

From now, we will find the remnants
of the traitors in Cheongsu County.

Block all the roads
so that nobody can get away.

Check for a brand on the body
of every single person.

If they resist, they are traitors,
so you may execute them on the spot.

- Do you understand?
- Yes, my lord!

Pass!

Hurry. Go to the safe house
where the children are.

I cannot stand this false charge.

How are we traitors?

I came by as I thought I had to pack.

I am glad to find you here, Yun-gyeom.

He must go to the training camp as well.

All right.

By the way, show me your shoulder.

I will put a seal
on your identification tag.

He already has one.

Is that so? All right.

Father,

Hae-gang is not a traitor.

My lord.

He gathered people to train them
in martial arts at a time like this.

There is no excuse for him.

They were not receiving military training.

They were being trained

to defend themselves.

How do you know that?

My lord, please stop.

My lord.

HEART

Why

is this here?

He was simply helping minority children.

So why did he do such a thing
for those minorities?

Because…

I am like those children.

I did it to survive.

I did it to keep them alive.

I simply found a way to survive, Father.

If you found a way,

you should have kept it hidden.

For the first time,
I am relieved that your mother died

before she had to see this.

I have nothing to be ashamed of to her.

My life is meaningful!

Be quiet!

Father, please do not be angry.

Why did you…

decide to marry him?

I wanted it.

I did it knowingly, Father.

From now on, you must only live
as my son and her husband.

And even if you must cut off your flesh,

even if you must cut off your arm,
remove that brand.

I cannot do that.

Before I am your son and her husband,
I am the leader…

of Devoted Hearts Association.

Thank you very much.

- Goodbye.
- I look forward to it.

- See you in Okcheon.
- Sure.

Keep in mind that

we will have a reading in Okcheon,
Jeolla Province in 10 days.

My gosh.

How much are we being paid
that you are this happy?

Wait for us, Jeolla Province.

- I am on my way.
- My goodness.

Why are they coming to us?

Take off your clothes.

All of a sudden?

All right.
I have a terrible fear of blades.

Should you not tell us the reason?

Nothing.

That is hot.

Here. Take a look.

From now, you are not my son.

Leave this place at once.

If I ever find you,

you will die…

in my hands as a traitor.

So do not ever…

Do not ever come back here…

my son.

My lord,

they are not just
searching Cheongsu County.

The traitors. Catch them!

Open up!

Open!

This way.

That way. Get them!

- Get them!
- Get them!

Get them!

Go inside. Hurry!

All right.

Why did you run away?

You see…

You had better be honest.
Where is the man you were with?

How can you be so brutish?

Let go of me and use words.

- Take off his clothes at once!
- Yes, my lord.

I will take it off myself.

It is me.

You do not have a brand,
so why did you run away?

You ran after us with swords.

Is it not human instinct to run?

Did you run because of another crime?

You must speak the truth.

How is it that you are
threatening an innocent man?

You should not be here.
You should be capturing traitors.

I am the son of
Cheongsu County's magistrate,

Seong Yun-gyeom.

Let us go.

Are you all right, Young Master?

What about you? Are you all right?

How are you here? Where is my husband?

Well…

Go inside. Hurry!

What? Do you know me?

You look like you know me too.

Are you on the run?

I am looking for a place to hide.

Do you have the brand of
a traitor or something?

I am not a traitor.

It means you have the brand.

Let us change clothes.

What are you doing?

If things go wrong and we are caught,
you will end up dead as well.

It does not matter.

I appreciate your offer,
but I cannot put you in danger too.

Do not worry. I am…

not doing this to help you.

I am greatly indebted to you.

Thank you, Young Master.

The magistrate's son is a traitor.

That cannot be.

It is a misunderstanding.
He is not a traitor.

All right.

Right. Even with the seal,
they may still inspect you, so be careful.

The village is dangerous,

so you must take the side road
by the tree behind the inn.

Thank you.

Go now. You must hurry.

Take care of your wife and hurry.

Go.

Hurry, my lord.

You must get away
from Chungcheong Province.

I will take care of your father
and brother, so do not worry.

I will send word as soon as I arrive.

When things calm down
and Father's anger subsides,

you must come back.

I will surely do that.

I promise you.

Have a seat.

Did he actually leave you behind?

You must have been very lonely.

I was not lonely even for a moment.

We knew one another
better than anyone else.

Besides, you and Young Master

showered me with care, did you not?

Thank you for saying that.

I understand why
he does what he does, Father.

I do not understand him.

However,

I do feel sorry that I said

harsh words to him as a father.

I am sure

he knows how you feel, Father.

I will grant you a divorce,

so leave this house at once.

Father.

Be strong and leave without looking back.

Why are you trying to banish me?

I am the eldest daughter-in-law.

Please let me stay
and wait for my husband.

If he was going to return,

he would not have left.

That is not true, Father.

He promised that he would return.

Our family will not be safe,

so you must leave this instant.

That is not true.

There is no proof
that Devoted Hearts are traitors,

so nothing will happen to you.

Magistrate Seong Gyu-jin
of Cheongsu County must come out

and receive the King's Order!

Father!

- Father!
- You cannot go.

Magistrate Seong,
receive the King's Order with respect.

My dear,

leave this house.

"The sentiment of treason
is in every quarter.

It pains me to know that it reached
Cheongsu County, the home of clear water.

It is clear that those who were
training soldiers and scheming

were treasonous.

Magistrate Seong Gyu-jin's
dereliction of duty

regarding neglecting
to capture the ringleader

is no different from
participating in the treason."

The King's Order is wrongful, my lord.

If he could not catch the traitor,

does that not mean there is
no evidence they are traitors?

Either you let him escape

or you plotted with the magistrate
like before to let them go.

That is not true!

You wench! How long will you try
to get away with your play on words?

Do you think your smart mouth

can beat the King's Order?

Provincial Governor.

You must not interrupt the King's Order.

"Therefore, Magistrate Seong Gyu-jin
will be stripped of his position

and his family fortune and household
will be confiscated."

Oh, Mak-sim.

"They will be rewarded to
Chief Lee Chung-il of Yuhyangso

as he loyally suppressed
and punished the traitors.

This is a royal command."

What is he saying?

That is nonsense!

Father!

- Please stop.
- Oh, no.

Father!

- How can this be?
- Father!

A slave market will open
in Pungchon Township, so sell them.

There is nothing to give back,

so go away.

No one is protecting her.

What if she is caught
acting like a noblewoman?

I think my suspicion was right.

You ended up being Lord Bak Jun-gi's dog?

How did Lord Bak Jun-gi know
about the traitors

when he is not from Cheongsu County?

Will you be all right by yourself?

When you descend this mountain,
you will be thankful of me.

I became greedy.

I thought I could do it.
