Why did Bak Jun-gi
come to Cheongsu County out of the blue?

Maybe he was worried
that we caught the swindler Heo Sun?

That is plausible.

He may have come to back Kim Nak-soo
or cover up the case if something happens.

Whatever the reason may be,
he just proved that he is involved

in the mansuseng case.

Sir Heo Sun,
whom you introduced me to, was a fake?

You completely fooled me, too.

And what about the payment?

Oh, yes.

All right.

Here.

I already took my cut. I keep business
and personal relationships separate.

You should have just sent someone.
You did not have to come yourself.

I told you to be discreet.

You got an inspector involved!

Chief Cha's wife
egged the people on too much.

I apologize, my lord.

About Legal Advocate Ok Tae-young,

is it true that she looks like
the slave you had called Goo-deok?

I did not see her myself.

Besides, I heard
you had captured Goo-deok already.

No, I did not.

What?

Lord Heo Jong-mun presumes

that the left state councillor
and Bak Jun-gi were also the masterminds

behind the recent Memorial Gate case.

Right. Then Oh Dal-seong must have taken
his own life out of fear of those two.

It must be Bak Jun-gi who killed

Commander Ji as well.

My father also could not utter his name
for fear of retribution.

Gosh, I just got chills.

I am sure he is
keeping an eye on you, my lady.

Not just that. He must be
gnashing his teeth to get her.

It may become dangerous, so I will
investigate secretly from now on.

Most of them
took out private loans from Mr. Hwang.

Just as Commander Ji was used
in the Memorial Gate case,

that usurer is most likely
involved in this.

We went through that trouble for nothing.

I know. We caught the wrong person.

There is no such thing as mansuseng.

Everybody became blind with greed.

You frequent tujeon games.
You are in no position to say that.

Yes.

- By the way, darling.
- Yes.

That man is not the swindler,
so why did you bring him to our home?

We did not bring him here.
He just followed us.

- Over there.
- What?

I was wondering if I could get a meal.

- Oh, my gosh.
- How shameless.

- What?
- What?

Three families fled
in the middle of the night.

Boy, what on earth is
to become of Cheongsu County now?

To be honest, we are
in no place to worry about others.

We gave everything away,
so our shed is almost empty.

Why did you give him food, darling?

I felt sorry for him.

How can you even eat right now?

No, I cannot give this up.

It is only a matter of time
before we starve to death too.

- Look.
- Something is in the rice.

Look, this is--

I feel something chewy. What is it?

We do not have enough rice,
so we mix it with aloe.

You see, this is…

Did you just say aloe?

Look, sir!

Would you please let me speak?

How is it that you can mix
this expensive aloe with rice?

- What?
- What?

Aloe is expensive?

How can such precious aloe
grow so well in Joseon?

I was surprised myself.

I knew it was rare,
but is it expensive too?

Principles of Eastern Medicine
says it is effective against itches,

infections, burns,
chronic fatigue, and febrile fits.

Also, Compendium of Materia Medica
states that it is good

for chills and discharges,
and keeps the eyes clear.

- Is it expensive? Jinx!
- Is it expensive? Jinx!

Why, look at us.

This is usually acquired through trade,

so it is definitely expensive.

What are you doing?

- Get Master Yun-gyeom and Lady Ok.
- Yes.

Are you certain that these aloes
are expensive medicine herb?

I am not sure.
Honestly, I do not believe you.

What would I gain by lying to you?

Can you introduce us to a place
that we could sell these aloes to?

- Well, if you pay me a brokerage fee.
- Brokerage…

Gosh.

This is why you cannot trust a gambler.

Forget about it, then.

Eat all of them yourselves
and release them all in farts and stools.

- Oh, my.
- All right.

I will give you a fee,
so please help us out.

The man they captured is not Sir Heo Sun?

You see, he is the real Heo Sun,
but he is not the one who scammed us.

Anyway, they caught the fake one.

No, the man they caught
is the real Heo Sun, but…

I have explained it many times.
How do you not get it?

Are you slow?

What did you say?
This is all your fault, you know.

The man that they caught
is the real Heo Sun.

Someone impersonated him to scam people.

So what you are saying is
that they did not catch the criminal.

We are all done for now.

The people of Cheongsu County
are all going to starve to death.

My goodness. What do we do?

Lady Kim, please do something.

Gosh. Unbelievable.

My goodness.

Where did you go at this hour?

I went to Man-seok to steal his bag.

Then why did you return empty-handed?

You know what?
He was using his bag as his pillow.

He tied it around with a strap.

Leave him. It is his hard-earned share.

He must have an urgent use for it
since he is guarding it like that.

But things are urgent now.

We need money to go to Hanyang as well.

I was going to steal it as I thought
he would not just give it up.

What if Man-seok sues you?

According to Article 292 of the criminal
law, you can get 30 lashes for theft.

It is nice to see you
so cheerful and at ease.

I know.

I guess I am excited
at the thought of selling aloe.

By the way, Minister Bak Jun-gi
asked us to gather tomorrow.

I had better go alone, right?

He summoned us on purpose.

He will suspect me more
if I do not show up.

I know that you are bold,

but it is too dangerous.

I am sure he came knowing
that we sent the fake slave hunters.

He would have arrested me if he had proof.

I have a plan, so do not worry.

You are too positive.

Why have you asked for us, my lord?

I found out about the difficulties
Cheongsu County is facing,

and I could not bear to do nothing,

so I thought I would
personally offer some help.

We truly appreciate it, Minister Bak.

My goodness, yes.
We are eternally grateful.

Yes, thank you, my lord.

I have a special connection
with Cheongsu County, you see.

Some of you here
are my old acquaintances too.

Oh, by the way,

according to my concubine…

Legal Advocate Ok is a runaway slave.

That is just nonsensical, my lord.

I know. That is not funny,
even as a joke, my lord.

Then, are you saying I married a slave?

How could the honorable Lord Bak

say something so insulting
to the wife of a nobleman?

What do you think, Magistrate?

Do I resemble your slave that much?

Well, I suppose so.

My daughter must have been mistaken.

Please caution her
to watch her words, my lord.

If you are not her, why did you
create a ruse saying the slave was caught

in order to send my concubine
back to Hanyang?

Did I?

- That was--
- It was me, my lord.

The people of this county are in distress,

but she was telling rumors
to members of Mother's Sanctuary

so I had to do something as the head.

Even so, how could you bring
Lord Bak into this?

Then, should I have just let
the concubine act as the legal wife

and cause a stir in our county?

That would have damaged
your tarnished prestige even further,

and I thought it would compromise
your reputation as well, Lord Bak.

As you said, Lord Bak,

our history runs deep.

Oh, what a shame.

I knew nothing about this
as I have only been at home.

The magistrate's daughter
seems to have a delusional disorder.

Oh, my. Delusional disorder?

Then, are you saying
the concubine has lost her…

Excuse me.

What are you saying? Delusional disorder?

She said the slave…

gave you that ugly scar.

Oh, my. How could you let
a slave do that to you?

My gosh, it must have been
utterly humiliating.

Let us go.

Take care.

Goodness, the people of Cheongsu County
are all terribly rude, my lord.

Does she look like her?

It has been so long,
so I am not entirely sure.

But why are you so curious about it?

I am not curious
about whether she is a slave or not.

She has ties
with the Royal Investigation Bureau,

so I just want to use it against her.

- Right.
- Just in case,

keep an eye on their movement.

And what if they make a move?

Should we make them think
Ok Tae-young is a slave

or torture her to get a confession
even if it is false?

I told you she has ties
with the Royal Investigation Bureau.

Do not hastily cross the line!

It looks quite peculiar.

Did you ask us to come to show us these?

Oh, I think she is saying

that we should eat these, my lord.

How?

We did not know,
but according to Sir Heo Sun,

these aloes are very valuable.

Are they?

So, we are thinking
of selling these in Hanyang.

You will sell these to help the county?

We would be so thankful
if you could do that.

Other crops do not grow well
in Cheongsu County,

but aloe seems to grow very well here,

so we should find an appropriate spot
to cultivate them together.

Together? What do you mean?

I do not think anyone can afford
to buy aloes.

We are going to give them out.

Oh, on credit?

For free.

- For free?
- What?

To increase the yields quickly,

we will distribute
the mature plants and seedlings.

Why are you so quiet, Lady Hong?

Cheongsu County may not have a good chief,

but we do have a great special inspector.

It is too early for compliments.
Let us go to Hanyang first…

Oh, my.

Are you crying?

Gosh, why are you crying?

I am just sniffling.

Why are you crying?

Why are you so emotional?

Please get up. Get up already.

All right.

All right, this is the land.

I mean, this may be
an empty plot of land, but really?

Are you sure this is fit for aloes?

You do not understand.

This land is perfect to grow
something like aloe.

All right. I shall believe you.

I will now trust you even if you say
that tofu is made from soybeans.

Tofu is made from soybeans.

Right.

Anyway, do not forget to apply
for a permit to cultivate.

You must do it.

You can count on me.

I will know what to do
even if you just wink at me.

Wink? What are you talking about?

Let us go if we are done.

Did I do something wrong?

Look, wait for me.

Do you want me to do anything?

Are they really going to give these
for free to us commoners?

Yes, indeed!

Come and get some
before we change our minds.

- Thank you.
- Grow them well.

Should not the families
that lost more money

receive more as well?

It is up to the one giving it.
Forget it if you are not happy.

Thank you.

I did not say that I did not want any!

Give us some too.

Hong-sim collected the portion
for Lord Shin's household earlier.

It is too little for the size of our land.

If you plant the mature one well,
you will have seedlings in no time.

If you replant them, the number will
increase fast, so do not worry.

She is right. It may not look it,

but it produces so many seedlings.

Thank you so much. Thank you, my lady.

Grow them well.

You gave those precious plants for free.

Your generosity is unmatched.

We do not know
how much they will sell for yet.

Moreover, my husband is
the special inspector of Cheongsu County.

I did what I must.

Yes, you are saving Cheongsu County.

It is the real Lady Tae-young
who is saving Cheongsu County.

What do you mean?

Lady Tae-young was
the one who brought the aloe.

I see.

I will return with good news.

Please be careful.

- Here.
- Okay.

Make sure your face is covered well.

- Do not run into Lord Song. All right?
- All right.

If he encounters his son, who is supposed
to be dead, he might pass away.

My goodness.

It feels too suffocating now.
I will put it on later.

My goodness. I cannot believe
you are going to Hanyang.

Do not worry.
No one recognized him. He will be fine.

I thought I could never go back.

Now that we are going,
I am actually excited.

You are excited
because you are going with me.

I suppose so.

Will the two of you
really be all right alone?

You should take him, at least.

You should have a good time alone.

I do not really need him,

but I was hoping his bag would join us.

Yes.

I do not understand what you are saying.

Well… Turn around.

What? All right.

This one! The bundle of money in here.

How did you know?

Everyone knows about it.

Everyone knows.
The whole neighborhood knows.

Since it is out, give me some.

No, not this. I have an urgent use for it.

Just a little.
Why are you being so stingy?

I will give you a hug instead.
Have a good trip.

Yes. See you.

Take care.

I knew you would do this! No! Please stop!

Please do not take it. I knew it. No!

No, why are you being like this?

See you when I am back.

When did you become so stingy?

Would giving me a couple of coins
ruin your plan?

I have the exact amount,
so I cannot give you any.

Oh, my goodness.

All right. I know this is hard work,
but let us pick up the pace.

Repeat after me.

"We are the best."

- We are the best.
- The best.

"We are amazing."

- We are amazing.
- Amazing.

This sounds awfully familiar.

It became a catchphrase.

No. It is too deep.
Do not plant it too deeply.

Give plenty of space between them.

You must leave room for seedlings.

The chief and his wife
are working very hard.

They are.
They are definitely doing their share.

How much water must we give them?

Water? The amount should be…

Mak-sim, how much water
should we give them?

Right.

If it is too moist, the roots will rot,

so poke the soil with your finger,

and if it feels dry,
that is when you should water it.

All right.

So you must water it…

Like…

Give it like this.

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Thank you.
- Right?

If you had sold me off
to the slave market seven years ago,

it would have been trouble, right?

She certainly holds a grudge.

Hey, Mak-sim!

Where are you going? You are in charge.

Tell us how to do it before you go.

My goodness, Mother. Please go.
It is dangerous.

I want to cultivate my land.
Enough with your nagging.

Do you know me?

Gosh.

What? Has her dementia worsened?

She does not even recognize her son.

She beat me earlier saying
that I was her husband that left her.

What?

Listen. This land is not yours.

It belongs to the people
of Cheongsu County.

As if.

This land is mine, you punk!

Chief Punk.

My goodness.

She does not have dementia, does she?

She is just pretending, is she not?

My lady!

Have you been well?

I missed you so much.

The water must be better here
than back in Cheongsu County.

You look stunning, Mi-ryeong.

Come with me.
Let me show you around our house.

Shall we hug as well?

- Shall we?
- Yes.

- Yun-gyeom.
- You are heavy. Get down.

You should have sent someone.
It is dangerous for you to be here.

She missed you two so much.
How could we not come?

By the way, Yun-gyeom,
you seem to look more stately.

Perhaps it is the effect
of having a title now.

After all, I am the special inspector
of Cheongsu County's Yuhyangso.

How is everyone back home?

I am sorry I could not be of any help.

Do not say that.

Thanks to you, the inspector general came.

By the way, you must be feeding
Do-gyeom very well, Lady Mi-ryeong.

He gets taller each time.

He must be growing taller
thanks to Mi-ryeong's love.

Then, I think I will grow a little taller.

- Oh, my.
- Let us go in.

You are making me cringe.

Gosh.

Did you find the journey quite tiresome?

That was a big sigh.

How can I not sigh?

Two sets of bedding?

I thought that I would
finally be able to sleep with you tonight.

I am sure they prepared two sets
so we can have a restful night.

Yes, let us sleep separately
and just recover from our journey.

I am terribly exhausted anyway.

Are you very tired?

I am not that tired.

Why do you ask?
Do you want to do something?

I do not want to do anything,

but there is a place I want to go.

Now?

Mom.

You must have been lonely.

I am sorry it took me so long to come.

This person here is my husband.

I wanted to show him off to you.

I am sorry I took your daughter's hand
without your permission.

I will help her, protect her, and love her

for the rest of my life.

Why are you going this way?
Is it not that way?

Since we are here,

I thought you could
go near your father's house

even if you cannot meet him.

Right.

IN MOURNING

He passed away?

I have forgotten what a huge sacrifice…

Yun-gyeom has made for us.

It appears as though

he is not even mourning properly

for fear of making us feel bad.

I will go and pay my respects
in his place.

I did not come here to hear your thanks.

I came as I missed you.

I have felt so bad
for treating you harshly.

I was hoping you could
at least pay your respects.

IN MEMORY OF SONG BYEONG-GEUN

Together.

How could I?

What is this?

It is a talisman
that protects you from bad luck.

I hear a strange disease
is spreading around the capital.

You must carry it with you
at all times just in case, Father.

Okay.

You must refrain from going out as well.

Do not let Jun-beom out either.

And leave my meals
outside my door starting today.

Pardon?

It is better to be safe than sorry.

But…

Okay.

ALOE

The weather in Joseon is so fickle.

How did you create
a stable environment to cultivate them?

Cheongsu County's climate and soil

must be fit for aloe to grow naturally.

The product is good, but…

How much are you thinking?

Come now. You should name the price first.

No more than ten nyang for one geun.

Yes, sounds good. Let us make a deal.

But I have one condition.

So how did it go? Tell us.

We will not be disappointed,
so tell us the truth.

Just give it to us straight.

First of all,

- it will be ten nyang for one geun.
- Yes.

And we made an agreement
to produce 2,000 geun by next year.

In exchange for an exclusive deal,
we were paid 30 percent

of the 20,000 nyang in advance.

What does that mean?
Do we have a deal then?

So how much are we getting?

You received 6,000 nyang?

How much?

6,000 nyang, which is 30 percent.

The remainder, which is 14,000 nyang,

will be given when we harvest
the produce next year.

The advance pay of 6,000 nyang
will be shared equally.

With this, most of the commoners
will be able to pay off their debts.

Yes, when we receive
the remainder next year,

it will make up for the scammed amount.

That is not all.
We will harvest them every year,

so our Cheongsu County will become

a rich farming village!

My lord, let me count

the 6,000 nyang
to make sure it is correct.

Count what? Do not count it.
I can count it.

Come now. Let me count it.

Here.

Thank you, my lord.

Here.

Do not use it on anything else.
You must pay off your debt.

We must grow and sell them by next year,

so cherish them
like your child or your body.

- Do you understand?
- Yes.

If we do not keep the promise,
we have to pay them back double,

so take good care in cultivating them.

Without a doubt, my lord.

I will put my soul into it
to cultivate it well.

Yes.

I was about to end up
starving in the streets.

Thank you so much.

It is all thanks to me!

My gosh, Mother.
What has gotten into you now?

What? The land is mine.
I received it from my father.

It is all right. You are right.

Here. Thank you.

Here you go.

Oh, my. Thank you.

If this did not work, I was going to
flee in the middle of the night.

You were going to flee?

I was going to bite my tongue and die.

Come, this is your share.

Chief Cha, thank you so much.

- Please accept our bow.
- It is all right.

This is all thanks to

- Special Inspector Seong.
- Me?

Our Lord Seong is the most amazing.
He is the best of the best.

Stop. Please stop.

Yes, it is thanks to
our handsome special inspector.

My gosh. You must have
come to your senses.

- What about me?
- You are second.

Yes, this is all thanks to
our handsome Special Inspector Seong.

Do not do this. Stop.

He is the best special inspector
of our county!

The best!

Hooray for Special Inspector Seong!

- Hooray!
- Hooray!

- Hooray!
- Hooray!

Come on.

I have never seen my husband so happy.

He was not that happy
even when Ung-yi passed the state exam.

I have been having dreams of people
beating me up to death,

but I can finally sleep comfortably.

Listen.

Lady Ok,

thank you so much.

Do not say that.

You were the one
who cared for the aloe farm.

I will make sure to repay you one day.

I must tell you now.

I would like you to be…

the head of Mother's Sanctuary.

Me?

Yes, Lady Hong.

Please take good care
of Cheongsu County's academy.

Lady Kim.

You seemed to be fine with two glasses.

I will drink slowly. You should
drink as much as you would like.

- You look like you have something to say.
- Well…

Let us be honest.

Were you not honest with me
this whole time?

To be honest…

I am a bit sad.

You are sad? About what?

About giving up being an artist.

Oh, my gosh.

You acted like you were not sad.

Well, just a little bit.

I was a bit sad in some aspects.

So, in what aspects?

The faces.

- The faces?
- Yes.

I miss seeing the faces of those
who would come to enjoy my performance

and forget their sorrows.

That is the one thing I miss.

But I saw them today.

I saw the happy and delighted faces
because of what I did.

It was not that different.

Chon Seung-hwi helped people
forget their sorrows as an artist,

and Seong Yun-gyeom did the same
as a special inspector.

I understood why you work so hard
to help people.

I finally feel as though…

you and I are one flesh.

Then, should we…

Then, should we now…

sleep under the same blanket from now on?

Have I ever told you how much…

I love you?

You have never told me,

but I know you do.

Get out of my way.

Move. Get out of my way.

What are you doing?

Let him be.
He is deep in his research right now.

Research?

Master Yun-gyeom wants to use
leftover aloe to make something to sell.

It is dripping off. Lie down.

Cheongsu County is
going to get very rich at this rate.

You will see. I am going to
turn Cheongsu County into an aloe village

- and have a festival every year.
- Festival?

I told you not to get up.
You lovebirds really do not listen.

Darling, lie down already.

It is not nighttime yet.
You want me to lie down?

There is no night and day to lie down.

My lord… My lord!

My lady!

What is going on?

It is about the land
where we planted the aloe.

What about that land?

They say that there is
an owner of that land.

What do I do now?

What?

This is a reclamation permit
that Sol-gae got two years ago.

And this is the issued ledger
from the government office.

He has no connection to Cheongsu County.

How is it that he got
a permit to cultivate that barren land?

Lord Bak Jun-gi's hometown is
Chunui County, which is nearby.

He always accompanied him
on the minister's visits,

so he must have seen it then.

That man is Lord Bak Jun-gi's servant?

Then, why did he not cultivate it
when he got the permit two years ago?

You know that one just needs

to cultivate the land within three years
of receiving the permit.

Gosh, I was going to
give the permit to cultivate

after checking that there was no owner.
I am so sorry.

Since you already cultivated the land
and planted the crops,

we will let you continue.

But we must split
the proceeds, 80 to 20 percent.

Wait, who is getting the 80 percent?

Of course, we will.

You crazy bastard. I knew it!

He is trying to sponge off us.

This is a good deal,
so I will consider it agreed.

If you think it is a good deal,
you should take the 20 percent.

Gosh, unbelievable.

I did think the magistrate was
unusually slow in granting us the permit.

My husband went every day
to ask for that permit.

He told me he had so many papers to handle

and told me to just start cultivating
and that we will get the permit!

We rushed the cultivation
as we had to meet the harvest date.

Look, what do we do?
Will they really take the land from us?

The magistrate has made a decision,
so there is no other way.

But just in case,
I asked Mr. Gu to look for the land title.

You cannot trust that old lady.
She has dementia!

Shall we move the land?

If we transplant all of them now,
will it be too late?

If we break the deal with the herbalist,
we must pay them double!

Anyway, you are sure
that Sol-gae's permit is forged, right?

That is what I suspect.

I ought to kill that jerk
and kill myself as well!

My goodness, dearest! Please calm down.

Right. What if we filed a complaint
to the provincial governor?

Our Yuhyangso can do that.

We need evidence for that too.

Twenty percent.

What if we take the 20 percent?

We can take care of
our most pressing needs that way, no?

My gosh, dearest!

We found it!

Gosh, we found it.

Found what?

There is a land title.

What? What that old lady said was true?

Yes, he went to the government office
with the document,

so you should go there right now.

Let us go.

How dare you bring a forged document?

It is not forged.

Lady Legal Advocate
asked me to look for it.

Then, why would the land title
come out of nowhere?

Keep flogging him!

You scoundrels!
Why are you beating up my child?

You old wench.

- Mother!
- How can you do this?

Stand back!

It is the special inspector.
Show some respect.

Die!

Let go!

Why you…

Let go.

The land is mine. My father gave it to me.

I fought and protected it
from those beasts.

- All right. Calm down.
- How can you do this?

Are you even human?

Why can I not do it? I am the magistrate.

Then, will you be flogged in his place?

Dearest! No!

The land is mine. My father gave it to me.

I fought and protected it
from those beasts.

"Fought and protected it."

I do not think Mr. Gu can walk anymore.

He could not even stand.

That man always took delight

in beating his servants.

Then,

was Lady Ok beaten by that man too?

That was not all.

All of her hair was pulled out too.

And her mother was

buried alive because she was old and sick.

Are you all right?

I think we can appeal
to the provincial governor.

What?

Everyone is frantically searching

for medicine because of the rumor
about a strange disease.

Are things going well
with the aloe farm in Cheongsu County?

The thing is,

Ok Tae-young made an appeal,
so I have been summoned.

- Deal with it as we prepared.
- Yes, my lord.

Is he not that legal advocate
called Bae Tae-rang?

Are they all legal advocates?
Why are there so many?

That is how much they want the aloe.

Let us begin the civil case.

I am Ok Tae-young,
the plaintiff's counsel.

The people of Cheongsu County worked
together to cultivate the barren land,

but as the first ruling decided

that it is Sol-gae's land,
I would like to request a retrial.

What is this based on?

This property division record
was given to Ms. Kim as a wedding gift

by her father 48 years ago.

Why did she not present it at the time?

She submitted it belatedly,
but it was not accepted.

My lord, the weight of this evidence
is questionable.

It is so old that neither the witness
nor the writer can be confirmed.

They cultivated it without a permit,
but when Sol-gae claimed it,

this document came out of nowhere.

We suspect forgery,
so please inspect it carefully.

The land that the aloes were planted
had never been cultivated before.

That is why Ms. Kim could not do
anything about it either.

But as soon as we cultivated it
and planted the aloe,

Sol-gae, who has no ties
to Cheongsu County, showed up.

Is that not truly suspicious?

- She is right.
- She has a point.

Those scoundrels.
Our legal advocate is good.

Are you certain that you received
that land from your father?

Yes, my lord.

I am certain. It is mine.

No, it is Cheongsu County's.

She gave us the aloe for free,

so I gladly gave up that barren land.

Provincial Governor,

that woman who claims
to own the land has dementia.

So how can her statement
have any credibility?

Provincial Governor.

This is the testimony of a physician

who states that she received
a medical certificate

that confirms her mental decline.

I have additional proof that can verify

the property division record.

Provincial Governor,
I request a brief recess.

Even if we lose this time,
we will go to a third trial.

Then, the land will be bounded,
and no one will be able to use it.

Are you suggesting a settlement?

Let us go 50-50.

Give us 20 percent more.

Or 10 percent more and make it 60-40.

I just…

Think of what is best for the people.

We hope you make a wise decision.

Submit the additional evidence that will
substantiate Kim Gyeong-sim's statement

and the property record.

This is the written judgment
that shows Ms. Kim won the lawsuit

against her brothers
and was granted ownership.

It is a document that was
written before Sol-gae's permit.

There is a record of that lawsuit?

Yes, my lord.

Even so,

how did a legal advocate
get her hands on this written judgment?

It is the written judgment copied
by Seong Gyu-jin, who was my father-in-law

and the magistrate of Cheongsu County.

While Seong Gyu-jin was
the magistrate of Cheongsu County,

he was concerned that

the written judgments would
disappear or be damaged by fire,

so while he was on duty,

he copied old written judgments
in his spare time.

I wondered if Ms. Kim meant
that she fought in court,

so I checked his belongings just in case.

Thankfully, they were kept in the study.

Provincial Governor,

the original copy must be at the library

of Cheongsu County's government office,
so please compare the two copies.

Go to Cheongsu County's government office
and bring the original written judgment.

The defendant acknowledges
the weight of the evidence and concedes.

Hey, are you crazy?

The former magistrate

did not know this
when he gave him the permit,

so the defendant Sol-gae
will give up the title of the land

and withdraw the lawsuit.

Yes.

Since the defendant expressed
his desire to give up the lawsuit,

Cheongsu County's aloe farmland

will go to Kim Gyeong-sim.

- Yes!
- She did it!

We won.

We won.

Next one is the request for the
impeachment of Magistrate Kim Nak-soo

that was submitted
by Cheongsu County's Yuhyangso.

Me?

Chief Cha Chun-sik,
Special Inspector Seong Yun-gyeom,

and 19 other members
of Cheongsu County's Yuhyangso

report the criminal activities
of Kim Nak-soo,

so we entreat you to punish him severely
according to the national law.

On what basis do you want to impeach him?

Kim Nak-soo

ignored and avoided the severity

of the people's troubles

and habitually extorted them.

It is not true.

Continue.

This is Kim Nak-soo's handwriting
that was provided by the office.

Compare it with the handwriting
of the document that Sol-gae submitted.

Not only Sol-gae's document

but even the office's
issued ledgers were forged.

The petty officials and police officers

of Cheongsu County's office
will testify to that.

Why you…

My lord,

that man is fabricating the truth
with ridiculous conjecture.

I am the leader of the county!
How dare he!

As a magistrate,

he must fear the people,
look after the people,

and love the people.

But he cut the tongues
and broke the legs of his servants,

and buried them alive!

Kim Nak-soo has even been treating
the people of Cheongsu County

with violence and harshness.

Mr. Gu was
beaten severely in front of his mother.

Now he has to live

with a limp for the rest of his life.

So we charge him
with abusing his authority

to punish innocent people

and causing an unfair ruling
by forging an official document.

Per the Great Code of Administration
and the Great Ming Code,

not only should he be dismissed,
but he must also receive 100 lashes.

We petition you.

- We petition you!
- We petition you!

- We petition you!
- We petition you!

Silence!

You pests.

Per the petition of Yuhyangso,

Magistrate Kim Nak-soo
will be bound immediately

and investigated thoroughly!

My lord, it is all a misunderstanding!

Listen to me! Listen!

Do not just listen to him!

We did it.

I knew it. Special Inspector Seong
is truly amazing.

The best of the best.

Hooray for Lord Seong.

- Hooray!
- Hooray!

- Hooray!
- Hooray!

- Hooray!
- Hooray!

When did you prepare all this?

You said that revenge should be yours.

- Hooray!
- Hooray!

You could not even
dare to look me in the eyes.

I must contact Lord Bak.

Wait.

You.

And this is

revenge for my mother.

Goo-deok, you wench!

Help me. Please help me!

If I get 100 lashes, I will die!

How could you do this to me?

Dearest.

Dearest.

Kim Nak-soo…

- Our master was…
- Yes.

…brought to the Royal Investigation Bureau
and died while being flogged.

He died?

Goo-deok must have…

Goo-deok must have
taken revenge on our behalf.

How…

could you let my father die like that?

How could you?

Your father brought it upon himself.

What?

I have suffered a huge loss

because I lost the aloe
because of Ok Tae-young.

You should have captured
and killed Goo-deok when I told you to.

Why are you not arresting her
when there is evidence?

There is a time for everything.

My goodness. Why are you so worried?

It is not good
for the baby you are carrying.

Should I let Do-gyeom know?

It is good news. Of course, you should.

Keep it a secret for now, though.

Do not worry about anything.

No matter what anybody says, you are
the eldest daughter-in-law of this family,

and Special Inspector Seong
is Master Yun-gyeom.

Think of it as a blessing for everything
you went through over the years

and get plenty of rest
with Master Yun-gyeom and the baby.

All right?

You cannot help humming.
Are you that happy?

Of course.

I am going to be a father.
Can you believe it?

I hope the baby takes after Lady Ok.

They say that when one is pregnant,
they crave something sour.

But she only eats

what I buy, peel, and roast for her.

Our child is craving the food
that carries our good memories.

How commendable.

Yes, you are right.

But why did you buy these?

Those who are bad at fishing
always buy the tools first.

You should buy a boat while you are at it.

I cannot afford that.
I cannot even afford a house by the sea.

What?

Here.

What? What do you mean?

Take it.

- You are giving it to me?
- Yes.

You are giving this to me?

Use that to buy the house.

But…

When you said you needed this money,
you needed it to buy me a house?

Yes.

You shared the money you made
with the artists

and spent your own money on slave hunters.

I knew you were completely broke.

My goodness.

If you look inside,

you will find the two gat ornaments
you gave me

so you would not be caught by Lady Ok.

What? You…

- Come on.
- Thank you.

Stop it.

How sweet of you. Let me give you a peck.

- What? Give it back.
- I will give you a peck every day.

Stop it. If you are going to do this,
give it back. People are watching.

What the heck?

- What is happening?
- What is going on?

We must write
Scholar Cho's complaint today.

And go to Deok-bae's and ask Chun-bong--

You are going on a vacation.

Why do you speak
as though you will not return?

I can handle
the legal advocate's office by myself,

so do not worry.

Right, you have prepared
many defenses, Kkeut-dong.

So starting with the next trial,
you should be the legal advocate.

Really? Me?

Yes, you will do a good job.

Gosh, but I am nothing.

Yun-gyeom must be home.

He went to get peanuts, but he is late.

Criminals Song Seo-in and Goo-deok
must come out and be bound!

- What did he say?
- Oh, my gosh.

- Kkeut-dong.
- Yes?

Go out the backdoor
and find Master Yun-gyeom.

- What?
- And…

give him this signal.

Like this?

- Go.
- Yes, my lady.

There is no one in this house
that goes by those names.

Then, are Seong Yun-gyeom
and Ok Tae-young inside?

What on earth is this about, my lord?

Search inside right now!

What is this about?

Where is Song Seo-in?

Who do you mean?

Arrest that woman first.

We will look for Song Seo-in.

- Yes, sir!
- Who?

Take her away!

No! Oh, no.

- My lady!
- No!

- My lady!
- My lady, wait!

My lady!

- My lady!
- My lady!

Wait, what is going on?

Why are you arresting her?

It is Investigation Bureau's matter.
Step aside.

Wait, what is this all about?

Legal Advocate Ok. Legal Advocate Ok!

What…

- You cannot go.
- You promised her.

No.

If I give you this signal,

you must run away with Man-seok
and not look back.

How can I run away without you?

This is the only way
for all of us to live.

What must you do when you see this?

When the thieves came and everyone died,

you decided to live as Ok Tae-young.

You came to Cheongsu County and have lived
as Ok Tae-young for nine years.

He will not be captured, will he?

What will happen if he is caught?

He will die.

All the investigation is over.
What new evidence?

I cannot trust anything you say anymore.

It is clear that Slave Goo-deok
harmed her master, ran away,

and acted as the noblewoman Ok Tae-young.

Welcome home, Goo-deok.
