All language subtitles for Lady Ok e15-engcp

- What is happening?
- What is going on?

Where is Song Seo-in?

Who do you mean?

Arrest that woman first.

We will look for Song Seo-in.

- Yes, sir!
- Take her away!

- No! Oh, no.
- My lady!

- No!
- My lady!

- My lady!
- My lady, wait!

No, my lady!

- My lady, no.
- My lady!

Who were those people?

Were they not going toward our home?

Let us hurry up and go.

Wait.

Maybe we should not go.

Why would… What?

Hey, Kkeut-dong.

Lady Ok told me to pass this onto you.

What?

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.

How is that so?

I can insist my way out of it by myself,

but if you are with me, dearest,
we are done for.

They may suspect why he ran away.

Then,

just say that you left me again
because your memory has returned.

I do not want to do that.

Do not be so stubborn.

Stay hidden at the house by the sea.
Do you understand?

When you see this, you run away.

Do you understand?

Run away. We must go, my lord.

We must run away without looking back.

That is how we will all survive.

- We must go now!
- Wait!

- Wait a moment. Calm down.
- Why?

Tell me what happened.

Well, Song Seo-in?

And then, they asked
for someone called Goo-deok.

They said the name "Song Seo-in"?

I heard it clearly.

You see? They found out about us.

Let us go now. My lord, hurry!

Hey, wait! Wait a minute.
Then, what about…

No, not now. Wait.

You promised her.

Let go of me. Wait.

Gosh. Not now.

CHEONGSU COUNTY

Gosh. What is going to happen to Lady Ok?

I do not know what is happening,
but you must go. Hurry!

Next time. Not now.

Hey, Kkeut-dong.
Let us survive this and meet again.

We promise to return.

Let us go.

Come on.

- Move!
- Oh, my!

Tell me where he went.

We do not know, so how can we?

We really do not know anything.

Well, Master Yun-gyeom

left early in the morning.

Really?

His memory returned, so he left.

Oh, my. So that is what happened.

Where is Master Yun-gyeom
going in such a hurry so early?

- Which way?
- Pardon?

He set off toward Unbong Mountain.

- After him!
- Yes!

Oh, my gosh.

But why?

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my.

Are you crazy? How can you
tell them that, you idiot?

Do not worry.
They went the opposite direction.

Oh, my!

You are so smart
even in moments like this.

- Well done.
- Goodness.

Is Legal Advocate Ok
really a runaway slave?

Then, what happened
to the real Ok Tae-young?

What on earth is going on?

I am certain that this is

the dead magistrate's daughter
taking revenge on Cheongsu County.

But the Royal Investigation Bureau
would not do that without any proof.

Minister Bak must have ordered it.

That crazy woman
with delusional disorder must have

pestered Minister Bak
since her father died.

Then, what is the rumor
about Special Inspector Seong being fake?

Is it not obvious? It is just made up.

He could be fake, could he not?

How could you say that?

Have you already forgotten
how much help we received

from Special Inspector Seong and his wife?

Yes, he could not possibly be fake.

His brother works at the Royal Advisory
Office, so it will be cleared up soon.

I am sure.

My lord.

I hear Lady Ok is being transferred
to the Bureau.

I heard it
from the Minister of Bureau just today.

- Pardon?
- They received a tip-off

and investigated without us
as we know her personally.

How can my sister-in-law
be that runaway slave, my lord?

Who on earth would
report something so ridiculous?

It was Lord Bak Jun-gi.

His concubine is claiming
that Legal Advocate Ok is her slave.

Could there be some other motive?

Perhaps Bak Jun-gi caught on
about the investigation.

I cannot reach that conclusion

as there is evidence that concerns me.

Song Seo-in, the eldest son

of the former Gyeonggi provincial governor
Song Byeong-geun,

apparently looks
exactly like your brother.

And Goo-deok, their neighbor's slave
that ran away ten years ago…

is your sister-in-law
according to the report.

I do not know how much
that slave resembles my sister-in-law,

but that cannot be, my lord.

And I found my brother
and brought him back myself.

But we hear
that your brother is on the run.

You will be questioned soon as well.

Wait, she told us to go by the sea.
Why are you heading this way?

They will soon find out
that we bought fishing equipment.

You are a smart cookie
even at this moment, gosh.

Shall we sit?

My gosh.

Your legs must hurt.

It is all cramped up.

Thank you, Man-seok.

- That is out of the blue.
- I am just saying.

Thank you for being by my side,
come what may.

I will be your servant forever, my lord.

Servant? How can you say that?

You are…

my friend.

My one and only friend.

Gosh, what has gotten into you?

Gosh.

Anyway, I have not seen these in ages.

Have you been well?

Are you not thankful?

Here.

Why are you giving it back?
You are shaming the hand that offered it.

No, take all of it.

- Why are you giving it back? No.
- Goodness.

You like Qing.

Take that and go there.

What is going on?
Why are you being like this?

Let us part ways now.

What?

I am going to turn myself in.

Jeez.

Is that why…

you walked toward Hanyang? Is it?

To part ways with me and turn yourself in?

Yes.

Come on. There is no evidence
that Lady Ok is Goo-deok.

Moreover, Master Do-gyeom will help.

Can we please just do as we promised?
Do you not trust her?

The fact that the Investigation Bureau
mentioned "Song Seo-in"

means that they have proof.

So if I run away right now,

my wife will be questioned,

and the investigation will drag on
if they find something.

She is with child.
What if she gets tortured because of me?

That cannot happen.

But if you turn yourself in, you will die.

I am already prepared for that.

Then, let us go together.

I cannot stand you suffering without me,
so I will go with you.

What are you talking about?
You must live.

Gosh, what fun would it be
to live without you?

There he is!

- Oh, no.
- Hey, get up.

- You need to go.
- No, my lord!

Go!

Stay down and keep going.
Do not look back.

But how can I go?

Just go!

I cannot go, my lord.

Will you disobey your master? Go!

Here! Song Seo-in is right here.

Jeez, I thought we were friends.

There.

My lord!

Darn it. My lord.

- Go!
- My lord!

My lord, are you all right? Let me see.

Let me see.

Why are you doing this?

You can just arrest us!

Are you not looking for me?

Just let him go!

Let me see. Let me see, my lord!

He will not be captured, will he?

What will happen if he is caught?

He will die.

What?

Master Yun-gyeom
disobeyed the king's order.

What… He disobeyed the king's order?

If I had not begged him to…

Why? Why did he disobey the king's order?

Tell me.

Gosh, please tell me!

Gosh, darn it.

I heard that wench was a slave.

How dare she act like a noblewoman?

Who is she to have two husbands?

So, you have to look that good
to have two husbands.

Change into that.

No visitors allowed!

I went to the prison,
but they would not let me see her.

What on earth is going on, dearest?

You must tell me.

The Yun-gyeom whom you met is…

not my real brother.

I brought someone
who looked like my brother.

The two of them
knew each other from long ago,

and he said he had been in love
with Her Ladyship for a long time,

so I begged him to pretend to be…

my brother.

Then, where is your real brother?

Were you not even able to meet him?

Yes.

I did.

SEONG YUN-GYEOM

I am not Seong Yun-gyeom.

I do not have a wife, a brother,

or a father.

I came up with all of it.

This is all my fault.

I would have done the same.

But, dearest,

I think Lady Ok…

may be a runaway slave after all.

Excuse me.

He is bleeding very heavily. Please.

He is bleeding heavily.
Please call a physician.

Come on. Look! Can you not hear me?

Look!

Just be quiet, will you?

Are you all right?

Are you okay?
Why are your gums not flapping?

This is driving me crazy.

- Darn it.
- Look,

you cannot die and leave me behind.

I am really scared right now.

So why did you

get captured when I told you to run away?

I got hurt because of you,
but it was all in vain!

This is killing me.

Is it that painful?

No, I cannot believe
that they took the bundle of money.

I clearly gave you that money and refused
when you tried to give it back.

So, I practically bought you that house
by the sea, okay?

Why are you taking credit for that
when we are about to die?

Even if we are going to die,
we should make things clear.

Then, I am not sorry to you either.

I got hurt while trying to save you.
I am in so much pain right now.

You know,

I was so touched
by your unbelievable action.

That is the kind of man I am.

By the way,

how are we going to die?

Will our heads get chopped off?

I am not sure.

We disobeyed the king's order,
so maybe our bodies will be ripped apart?

You know, where they tie each limb
to a cow and make it pull

so the body gets ripped apart.

Me too?

Would they go through that trouble
to kill a slave?

I am not sure. How would I know?

Should we hire a legal advocate
so we can avoid execution?

We disobeyed the king's order,
so it will be no use.

Whatever. Let us not talk about it.

Just empty your head.
Do not think about it.

But still,

I think I feel at ease because I am

under the same roof as my wife.

She does not know
we are captured, does she?

She should be left in the dark.
That way, she will lie to survive.

I told you to leave it by the door.
Why do you keep coming in?

You may catch the strange disease.

I do not come in because I want to.

I am simply doing my duty as your wife.

They are quarantining the sick soon.

I suppose I must go as well.

You must receive proper treatment there.

We do not even have
the right medicine here.

What underhanded means I resorted to

in my greed for wealth, not knowing
this is how I would meet my end.

Meet your end?

Do not say such things.

I heard Bak Jun-gi's concubine

said that Legal Advocate Ok was her slave.

Legal Advocate Ok has foiled
his plans several times,

so he must be using his concubine
to give Lady Ok a hard time.

You do not know what kind of man
Bak Jun-gi is.

He would never do anything
for such trivial reasons.

In January of the year of fire monkey,

slave Goo-deok ran away
with her father Gae-jook.

And they hid in an inn
in Goesan, Chungcheong Province.

She worked as a servant
at the inn for a year,

and in January of the year
of fire rooster, she met Ok Tae-young,

the daughter of Ok Pil-seung,
who was returning from Qing.

And when the thieves came
and killed everyone a few days later,

she decided to become Ok Tae-young.

She came to Cheongsu County
and has pretended

to be Ok Tae-young for nine years.

Is your name Goo-deok?

What is your name?

Your name is

Ok Tae-young.

I asked if your name was Goo-deok.

Tae-young's final wish was to take you in,

so should we not fulfill
that wish for her?

I am…

the daughter of Lord Ok Pil-seung,

Ok Tae-young.

May I ask…

with what proof you are presuming
that I am the slave Goo-deok?

According to the record
of Chungcheong office,

which was in charge of that case,

and the testimony of the military officer
that recovered the bodies,

two women were discovered by the shed.

The one inside was so burnt
that her body could not be identified,

but the woman outside was still breathing.

We believe slave Goo-deok
pushed Ok Tae-young into the shed,

changed into her silk dress,
put her ring on,

and took her place.

I was transferred to Cheongsu County
while I was unconscious.

My fever was so severe
that I was on the verge of dying.

Moreover, the thieves
had stolen everything,

so where could I have found a silk dress

and how could I have
found the ring on a body

that was burnt beyond recognition?

Then, how will you explain the fact
that you look like the slave Goo-deok

that Kim So-hye remembers?

Why is it on me to explain that?

You must do it
as you are the one who started this

based on a delusional woman's words.

No one in Cheongsu County knew
what Ok Tae-young from Qing looked like.

Therefore, if Goo-deok tried
to live as Ok Tae-young,

she could have easily deceived them.

Then are you saying the Ok family accepted
a runaway slave as their granddaughter

without properly checking who she was?

If I really were the runaway slave
as you say,

it would not have been possible

for me to live as a noble lady
without being caught.

Do you know Song Seo-in?

They asked about him at our house as well.

You would deny knowing him.

I know him.

If you are referring
to the artist Chon Seung-hwi,

he is

a storyteller who came
to Cheongsu County seven years ago.

Yes, I saw Ok Tae-young
at my performance in Cheongsu County,

fell for her, and pursued her.

I guess you could call me a stalker.

What? "Stalker"?

Yes.

It means a person
who pursues someone obsessively.

Me, a stalker.

So you are saying that you are not
Seong Yun-gyeom but Song Seo-in?

Yes.

I am the director
of the art troupe Yudam Group,

Heavenly Professional Storyteller
Chon Seung-hwi.

So whether you are
Song Seo-in or Chon Seung-hwi,

you are saying the woman you pursued
is Ok Tae-young, not Goo-deok?

Goo-deok is the slave
that I fell for ten years ago.

But after she ran away

and after I left home,
I never saw her again.

But I saw Ok Tae-young,
who looked like Goo-deok,

in Cheongsu County seven years ago.

And so, I fell for Ok Tae-young
and pursued her,

but she ended up marrying
the magistrate's son, Seong Yun-gyeom.

But that Seong Yun-gyeom,
who is Ok Tae-young's husband,

looked exactly like me.

Like a doppelgänger.

Oh, do you not know what that is too?

Anyway, it was magical.

It truly felt like fate.

It was a coincidence.

Just as I resemble
the slave called Goo-deok,

it is a coincidence that Song Seo-in
and my husband look alike.

Why did you marry Seong Yun-gyeom
when you knew he resembled Song Seo-in?

Why would I refuse to be
the magistrate's eldest daughter-in-law?

I had to get married
according to the king's order,

and Father proposed the marriage to me.

Then, why did Seong Yun-gyeom leave home?

As it was a forced marriage,
we did not get along.

He left home after a big fight

and did not return for seven years.

You had no idea
that the husband that had returned

was not Seong Yun-gyeom but Song Seo-in?

My husband is…

Seong Yun-gyeom.

The person that left seven years ago
was Seong Yun-gyeom.

The person that returned was Song Seo-in.

They may look alike,

but there is no way I cannot recognize
my own husband.

He confessed that he is Song Seo-in.

What?

Song Seo-in was arrested
and is being questioned.

Are you injured?

It is just a graze. I am fine.

Yun-gyeom,

I will take care of everything
from now on, so do not worry.

Listen carefully.

You do not know anything about this.

What?

If you really think of me as your brother,
please do as I wish.

Do not forget why you came to me.

This is all for Lady Ok's sake.
Do you understand?

Yun-gyeom, this is…

Is this man…

your brother, Counselor Seong?

Yes, he is.

He is my brother.

He confessed that he is not your brother.

Yun-gyeom.

Oh, boy. This is awkward.

I am not your brother.
My name is Song Seo-in.

I am sorry about this.

Yun-gyeom, why are you doing this?

When Seong Yun-gyeom
left home seven years ago,

you were still young.
So how could you recognize your brother?

Of course, it is because he is my brother.

No matter what anybody says,
this man is my brother.

See? I have deceived him perfectly.

- Yun-gyeom.
- I am a professional storyteller.

It is my work to act like other people.

That is why my wife,
my brother, the servants…

All of Cheongsu County
were deceived by me.

Oh, and this Seong Do-gyeom here

did not know that I am a man
who resembles Seong Yun-gyeom.

He was desperately
searching for his brother,

so when he saw me, who resembled him,
he could not help but believe I was him.

Do-gyeom thought I was his brother,

and the servants
treated me as Master Yun-gyeom,

so I thought this was my chance.

To live as the husband of Ok Tae-young
who I had loved so much.

The one thing that bothered me

was the king's order to perform in Qing.

The only way to refuse that order
was to act dead.

Anyway, I decided to live
as Seong Yun-gyeom,

and no one suspected me

even though it had been seven years.

When I told her that I had lost my memory,
Ok Tae-young believed me.

So I forged an identification tag
and even took the state exam.

Yes, I did those things.

Look,

I am sorry.

I truly am.

But…

Dearest.

How are you feeling?

I am fine.

Are you injured?

Did you eat anything? You look so frail.

Why did you confess?

So that you would be released quickly.

Dearest.

I have already disobeyed the king's order.

Dragging this out
would only prolong your suffering.

I am not your husband anymore.

I am just Chon Seung-hwi.
Do you get what I am saying?

I am sorry I cannot be by your side…

to the end.

Dearest.

Dearest! Dear…

Dearest.

Please do not let
our Master Yun-gyeom and Man-seok

get captured and keep them safe.

And since Lady Ok is innocent,

please punish me
if you must punish someone.

What? What are you talking about?

No, punish me. Please punish me instead.

Lady Hong must have
arrived in Hanyang by now.

But we have no way of knowing
what is going on.

Do not worry too much. All right?

My goodness. I am so exhausted.

My goodness. My legs. Oh, my gosh.

So how did it go?

I am not sure
as a ruling has not been made,

but Lady Ok's brother,
who is governor of Jeju, sent a letter,

and Lord Heo of the Bureau testified.

So charges against Lady Ok are lifted.

Gosh, as they should be!

How can Legal Advocate Ok be a slave?
It makes no sense.

I know.

Then, what about Special Inspector Seong?

It seems…

that he is not Seong Yun-gyeom.

Pardon?

I do not know when it got all mixed up,

but he is a different person
who happens to resemble Master Seong.

Oh, my goodness! Unbelievable.

Oh, no. Then,

whose last name
will Legal Advocate Ok's child take?

What do you mean?

She is with child.

Father, please take care.

Stop crying.
It is not like he already passed away.

Will you welcome me if I return alive?

I will think about it if you do.

I am just thankful
that you came to see me.

Here's the kudzu root pills
you take for your knee.

I am about to die.
Who cares about my knee?

You should get going.

I hear that Goo-deok is to be released.

They say that I am being delusional.

Why have you not presented the evidence?

Why are you using her for your plan
instead of bringing her here now?

- What did you say?
- What?

You use my home as a secret storehouse.

Did you think I did not know?

By throwing the Investigation Bureau
in disarray with the scammer couple case,

you got the position you wanted.
Are you still not satisfied?

Stop dragging it out
and bring that wench to me!

Did I not…

tell you to wait for the right time?

That mouth.

If you run that mouth,
I will not let you get away with it.

I will go and get
that wench Goo-deok myself, then.

All the investigation is over.
What new evidence?

What are you talking about?

I apologize that I arrived so late.

Oh, no.

Hey, do you suppose she has been released?

Or will she get a ruling alongside us?

Probably the latter.

Anyway, Cheongsu County
must be in chaos right now.

I know. When Chief Cha
hears about your news,

he will probably start wailing.

We were going to build
an aloe village together

and hold festivals.

But it has already been developed

and everything has been set up,
so he will be able to do it alone.

Gosh, does that taste good?
How can you eat now?

Come now.
We need to eat to keep our strength up.

What is the use when you will die?
Will you seduce a pretty corpse?

Besides, you will not get executed
as soon as you receive a ruling.

We will probably die after the fall or so.

Why? Is there a suitable season
for executing someone?

Of course.

If they kill people left and right,

it may anger the heavens
and ruin this year's harvest.

So they wait until the harvest season is
over to execute someone?

So, some people would live
for months or years

after receiving a death sentence.

That is not bad.

They feed us on time,

and we sleep a lot
as there is nothing to do.

It may be fun
to pass our time together in prison.

As if.

At the next questioning,

I am going to tell them
that I threatened you.

Will they let me go then?

They might.

Jeez. It tastes so bad.

I miss Mak-sim's food.

If I make it out alive,

I will bring you food
in a three-tiered side dish box.

Forget it.

If you survive this,

just look after Lady Ok.

My lady.

You are still here.

Are you all right?

Anyway, why did they bring us here?

I think he will give a ruling.

I see. I am all right.

I am prepared.

I heard they would not
kill us immediately.

I am sorry, Man-seok. It is all my fault.

Gosh, it is all right.

My lady, stay strong.

All we want is for you to survive.

Ok Tae-young said

that she did not know that Song Seo-in
was acting like Seong Yun-gyeom,

and Song Seo-in confessed

that he pretended to be Seong Yun-gyeom
without Ok Tae-young's knowledge.

Is that correct?

Answer me. Is that correct?

- Yes, my lord.
- Yes, my lord.

Then, for what reason did the two of you

meet in Ikcheon this past May?

Oh, Ikcheon.

I went there as a legal advocate.

I was requested to represent him
as Song Seo-in's work was stolen

and he was wrongfully imprisoned
while working as Chon Seung-hwi.

Who requested you?

- Pardon?
- Song Seo-in was in prison,

so who requested you to defend him?

Well…

Well, you see…

Tie Song Seo-in and his servant Soe-ddung
to the racks this instant!

My lord.

Wait.

My lord, why are you doing this?

Ok Tae-young met these men
in Ikcheon last May

and conspired to murder
her husband Seong Yun-gyeom.

- What?
- Torture them.

No, wait…

Wait!

Wait…

My lord!

It has been confirmed

that Song Seo-in's servant Soe-ddung

not only requested Ok Tae-young
to defend him in Ikcheon

but also lived with Song Seo-in

while he pretended to be Seong Yun-gyeom
in Cheongsu County.

Therefore, it is clear

that Ok Tae-young knew

that her returned husband
was Song Seo-in, not Seong Yun-gyeom.

So how could you lie
to the Royal Investigation Bureau?

Wait!

Tell me the truth now!

I do not know.

I do not know anything.

Conspired? That is unthinkable!

Will you keep lying?

My lord! How can you do this
without any evidence?

Tell me everything you know truthfully.

Yes, my lord.

I am certain that they knew one another.

They had been close
far before they met in Ikcheon.

You can tell by Song Seo-in's novel
called A Government Officer and a Woman.

- Hey!
- You bastard, shut your mouth!

- You bastard.
- That man is not just a slave.

He is the general manager
of the art troupe Yudam Group.

She defended him,
and they even lived together.

They knew each other.

Will you continue to claim
that you did not know him?

My lord!

Soe-ddung did nothing wrong.

He only did what I told him to do!

I am sure that those two had an affair.

Shut up, you bastard!

Song Seo-in and Ok Tae-young shared a room
while they were in Ikcheon.

It is because I could not go back
as the boat had broken down.

He is framing us as he was charged
with theft because of me!

Man-seok.

Man-seok!

Man-seok!

My lord, please!

How can the three of us knowing each other

be the evidence for conspiring
to murder Seong Yun-gyeom?

How could you deceive me like this?

Please believe me.

I did not kill my husband.

Look here!

Tie Ok Tae-young to the rack too.

No.

My lord, no!

How can you torture a pregnant woman?

My lord!

It is all my fault.

It was all my doing.

So please punish me instead, my lord.

No, Young Master.

I was the one who wanted all of this!

I found it so difficult to live
as a widow,

so I asked him to pretend
to be my husband.

But I did not kill my husband!

Please! Please believe me.

You have already lied to me.

So I cannot trust
anything you say anymore.

My lord!

My lord! I will explain everything.

I was the one who...

I killed him!

When Counselor Seong came
to find Seong Yun-gyeom,

I was enraged that he had not
returned to his wife for seven years,

and when I saw him in Qing,

I urged him to go back to his wife.

But he refused,

so I killed him. I did it!

No. It is not true, my lord!

I…

Loved this woman so much

that I wanted to live
as her husband even for a single day.

I deceived everyone
and came up with everything

just so I could hear her call me
her husband.

Dearest.

I am sorry.

It was all my selfishness.

So,

please release Soe-ddung and Lady Ok.

I beg of you, my lord.

Song Seo-in confessed to murder.

He will be detained
until the final ruling.

And Ok Tae-young…

may be released.

Dearest.

My lord!

Yun-gyeom!

What is your name?

Are you the oldest daughter, Tae-young,

of Ok Pil-seung,
who was the envoy to Qing?

Or

Are you Goo-deok,
the slave of Kim Nak-soo?

I am asking you what your name is!

My name is…

Bring him in.

Father.

It is not her.

She is not my daughter.

She is not my girl!

She is not my daughter.

Father.

No.

No!

- No.
- No!

No.

Father!

Father!

No… Goo-deok!

Goo-deok.

Open your eyes, Goo-deok.

Can someone please help her?

Wake up, Goo-deok!

Goo-deok!

Open your eyes, my dear!

My dear!

Your dad is here. Open your eyes!

Somebody please help her!

Wake up, Goo-deok!

Open your eyes, my dear!

Goo-deok.

Man-seok.

Man-seok.

Man-seok.

Hey, Man-seok. Get up.

Man-seok.

Man-seok.

That crazy Stool So-hye…

must have had…

Uncle Gae-jook with her all along.

Jeez.

Your false confession…

to the murder became pointless.

Now they found out…

about Lady Ok too.

Still…

I am glad…

she got to see her father
whom she missed so much.

We were going to live by the sea
with her father.

I guess we cannot do that.

I guess not.

For buying you that house…

I was going to…

pester you…

to name your child Man-seok…

if it is a boy.

Are you crazy?

Then, I will have a daughter.

What is the point of saying all this?

Hey.

Hey.

Man-seok.

Man-seok.

Hey, Man-seok.

Man-seok.

Man-seok.

Man-seok. Man-seok…

Man-seok.

Hey, Man-seok. Answer me.

Man-seok…

Man-seok. I am sorry, Man-seok.

Based on the investigation,
statements, and testimony,

it is clear

that Song Seo-in impersonated
Seong Yun-gyeom after murdering him

and disguised his own death
to disobey the king's order.

The court hereby sentences him
to execution.

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

and acted as the noblewoman Ok Tae-young.

Hence, it is right for her to be beheaded.

However,

given the many people she helped
as a legal advocate,

she is hereby sentenced to
be returned to her owner, Kim So-hye.

Where is Father?

Do you think I would let you see him?

My father died because of you!

Oh, right.

I hear you are pregnant.

Then, that child is mind too.

Welcome home, Goo-deok.

Counselor Seong.

Do you resent me?

You knew it would compromise
the Investigation Bureau's reputation,

but you still spared Lady Ok
from being beheaded. I am grateful.

It was His Majesty's decision
to spare her life

despite Hwasin Faction's opposition.

If you did not know
that your sister-in-law was a slave,

you must be as shocked as I am.

I am sorry,

but no matter what her status is,
she is like a mother to me.

She raised me when I had nowhere to go,

and she rebuilt our family
that had been ruined.

There is no doubt she is guilty,

but I cannot…

ever condemn her.

Auntie.

I briefly came in as I was told to move
the medicinal herbs here to the shed.

What about my father?

He is in another shed.

He is doing well, so do not worry.

Where…

Where has he been?

He lived in hiding in a secluded temple.

He was fed well
and even got his illness treated.

It seems it has been a while
since he was taken here.

But she locked him up elsewhere
in case we would find out.

- Really?
- Do not worry too much.

She cannot kill him or anything.

Lord Seong has been sending people
to keep watch around the house.

Minister Bak is on edge because of that.

Why?

It is obvious. This house is
Bak Jun-gi's secret storehouse.

He has been selling pills made out

of the medicinal herbs
he has been stocking up.

Gosh, I wonder what those herbs
with such a strong odor are.

That is why he needed the aloe.

How dare you go
to the Royal Investigation Bureau!

You kept dragging it out,
so I got frustrated!

I told you that I had my reasons!

What is it?
You have the strange disease village.

What more are you scheming?

If you act out of line one more time,

you will end up like your father.

Yun-gyeom.

Did you collect Man-seok's body?

Yes, I collected it
from the corpse removing gate.

Thank you.

Bury him in a sunny gravesite
in Cheongsu County.

Well,

he used to say that he wanted
to be buried in Cheongsu County.

And get a plot for me next to his grave.

I must keep him company.

When I return from Cheongsu County,
I will find a way no matter what.

I cannot let you be framed
for such a ridiculous murder charge.

What will you do?

Will you go
and look for your brother again?

- If I have to do that, I will...
- It is no use.

I have already disobeyed the king's order,

so stop worrying about me.

Devote that energy…

to protecting your sister-in-law.

I…

I beg of you.

And this.

Pass this onto my wife.

I am not allowed
to let anybody in, my lady.

What is it?

Did you come
to beg me to sell Goo-deok as well?

You are not a good enough person
to be that generous.

Unless you want
your precious Goo-deok to die,

watch your words.

If you let me see her once,

I will keep it a secret.

What do you mean?

You dared to join a meeting of noble wives
when you are a mere concubine

only to be turned away.

And rumor has it that you are a mere dog
guarding Bak Jun-gi's storehouse.

Can you stand having rumors
that you are being beaten too?

Fine, let us do that.

It would not be too bad to show you
what an awful sight she makes.

What brings you here?

Your husband asked me to pass this on.

He is not…

Not yet.

Lord Seong and his wife have gone

to Cheongsu County
to hold a funeral for that servant.

You cannot just sit here and be miserable.

What else can I do?

I am going to hire someone

to get you out of here.

You want me…

to become a runaway slave again?

Then are you going to die
alongside your husband?

Or

Will you let your child
live as a slave too?

Is that how you pay back
those who sacrificed themselves for you?

Can you not do anything

without the name Ok Tae-young?

My husband said something
as he was being quarantined.

The fact that he exposed
the scammer couple

during this time of unrest
due to the strange disease

certainly means

that Bak Jun-gi is hiding something.

What?

He is trying to distract
the Investigation Bureau.

Just as he distracted
Magistrate Seong seven years ago.

Just as he distracted Father?

You cannot let them use you
like they used Magistrate Seong.

You must get out of here no matter what.

Do you know what the symptoms
of the strange disease are?

You acted like a noblewoman,
but look at you now.

What did you say?

"I have not met you before."

"I am Ok Tae-young,
the eldest daughter-in-law

of Cheongsu County's Seong Family."

How ridiculous.

How did you find out
that Young Master Seo-in and I

were acting like a married couple?

You came to sell aloe in Hanyang,
so I followed you.

This person here

is my husband.

I wanted to show him off to you.

I saw you and Young Master Seo-in
at your dead mother's grave,

you brazen wench.

Did you enjoy it?

Did you like pitying
and helping people as a noble lady

when you are a mere slave?

Of course, I did.

I did a lot of good deeds.

That is all a pretense.

You are nothing but a hypocrite.

What is wrong with that?

The privileged should be
hypocrites, at least,

to allow those in need to live on.

You still cannot
become an admirable person.

An admirable person?

No.

I just wanted to be a person.

But I guess I am more admirable

than someone
who chooses not to help others.

I am just true to my feelings.

That is how nobles are.

There are…

admirable nobles in this world too.

Like my grandmother and my father-in-law.

Your grandmother and father-in-law?

You are not Ok Tae-young.

You are nothing but a fake.

Yes, I am a fake.

I am, indeed.

It was easy to live
a fake life thanks to you.

I learned so many things in your place.

Thank you so much for that.

What a shame.

You are back to being lowly Goo-deok.

For the rest of your life,

I will be your mistress.

You are…

not my mistress.

Are you saying that you are your own?

If I had a mistress, it would be

Lady Tae-young who gave me
a name and a dream

before she passed.

You must really have a death wish!

- Want me to give you a limp?
- Article 337 of the criminal law.

You will receive 100 lashes
for beating or killing a slave.

Will you be able to survive that?

Lord Kim Nak-soo…

died before he could even receive 30.

How dare you

say such a thing
after murdering my father?

The one responsible for his death…

is your husband,

Lord Bak Jun-gi.

What?

He picked the least important person

who would not cause him trouble
even if they died.

Someone whom he can get rid of
if things went south.

- Shut up!
- You were a hostage.

Lord Bak kept you hostage

so your father cannot name Lord Bak
even if he gets arrested.

No matter what you say,

you are a woman
who got her husband killed.

Because of you, a lowly slave,

Young Master Seo-in will be beheaded.

Do not worry.

I am going to join him in death too.

I have the strange disease, you see.

Blast it.

Please give it back.

What are you doing?

Save me.

Gosh, one moment.

Thank you.

I am going to write my last novel now.

This is not a story

about a sad woman who lost her husband.

This is a story about a strong woman
who was born a slave

but became a strong legal advocate
like steadfast aloe

to help out people
despite all kinds of hardships.

From your loving husband,

who trusts that you will bring this story
to a perfect ending

in the way that befits you.
