Now that we have uncovered those conspiring
to enthrone Prince Yeongchang,

all those who once stood behind him

will cower in fear.

If this has eased His Highness's concerns.

I have nothing more to wish for.

And to think that all those traitors
turned out to be illegitimate sons.

How remarkable is that?

We have triumphed without so much as
staining our hands with blood.

Your acumen never fails to impress me.

You flatter me.

I suppose the blood of illegitimate sons

is as clear as this wine,
so clear that you fail to see it.

What?

A great cause often demands
minor sacrifices.

It's merely the reckless words of a lowly girl
who knows nothing of state affairs.

So please pay it no mind.

Speaking of which...

When do you plan to conclude this matter?

The traitors...

Will be executed on the night
of the coming new moon.

I...

I must return.

I must return and set everything straight.

Was I mistaken?

But if she really did move...

If, by any chance...

If she regains consciousness,
everything will be over.

- Hello.
- Oh, you're here.

I was meaning to contact you.

Pardon?

Why?

I'm afraid we'll need to free up the ICU.

We're short on beds, and…

There's nothing more
we can do for your mother here.

Then what happens to my mom?

Well...

Excuse me.

Mr. Lee Sang Cheol.
Mr. Lee Sang Cheol, are you okay?

Mr. Lee Sang Cheol!

Mr. Lee Sang Cheol, sir!

Sir, can you hear me?

Lee Sang Cheol, are you okay?

Sir!

What did they say about
your mother's condition?

There's been no improvement.

No improvement?

No response or movement

of any kind?

None.

They said continuing ICU treatment
is meaningless now

and advised moving her to a general ward.

Once she's moved, she'll need
someone by her side at all times.

Then, what about the diner?

Well, with Mr. Homeless gone...

I can't run the diner alone.

I'll have to focus on taking care of my mom.

I see.

Then, Eun Sil, let's proceed with the contract...

Chef Lee!

Could you pull over here for a moment?

What?

Hey, be honest with me.

What's going on?

It's no big deal.

You didn't have to come all the way here.

Cut the act.

It looked like you were arguing with someone.

You've been acting strange lately.

Just some unstable civilian
has been pestering me, and that's all.

I'll reason with him, so don't worry.

You mean that, right?

Yes, of course! Don't you trust me?

You should return to the gathering
or you'll get an earful.

Go on ahead. I'll be right behind you.

Okay, don't take too long.

Okay.

Excuse me...

We're closed.

I just have a quick question.

Have you seen an elderly man around here?
Short in stature, slightly hunched?

You again?
Didn't you ask the same thing last time?

I already told you
I've never seen anyone like that.

Is that so?

Excuse me, old man!

Yes?

Apologies…

A thief broke into our diner
and smashed a jar my mom cherished.

I wanted to see if it could be restored

and also find out what exactly it is.

I see.

But I could've come alone.

You've been stuck with me all day
and couldn't even work.

You should head home, Chef.

It's fine.

You're making me feel bad...

I told you I'd help.

Don't worry about it.

Do you think this will take long?

I think it's a Joseon-era
white porcelain piece.

Do you think it can be restored?

My mom treasured it so much…

How much do you think it's worth?

It's got a couple of zeros.

A couple of zeros…

Is it 100 million won?

Or 10 million won?

It's worth 10,000 won.

A mass-produced, low-grade piece.

So, do you still want to restore it?

Why did Mom cherish a jar
that was only 10,000 won?

She must not have known.

I guess this makes it awkward
to ask the police to track down the thief…

Thank you for everything today, Chef.

I'll head in now.

Eun Sil...

I'm exhausted.

Can I have a cup of coffee before I go?

Of course, come on in.

Old man, show yourself!

If you were the one who brought me here

then surely, you're the one
who can send me back!

I must return!

The lives of my friends depend on it.

So, please!

Send me back to Joseon!

Oh, my goodness!

Who are you?

Wasn't it you who came looking for me?

Old man!

All the memories I lost have returned.

I now clearly remember what happened...

before I ended up here.

But I do not belong in this place.

Please send me back to Joseon.

I saved you from drowning

and now you demand I grant your wishes?

Was saving your life not enough?

I cannot thank you enough for that.

But I will not stand by
and let my friends die so I can live.

I told you I would save your life.

I never said I would send you
where you wish to go.

I beg you, old man.

There are people I must protect.

And what can you offer me in return?

What do you want?

Name your price, and I'll pay it.

Very well, I give you my word.

So, send me to Joseon...

One thing, though…

If you return this time,
you will never be able to come back.

I understand.

You!

You've been manipulating her!

You were the one who harmed her mother!

It's not worth listening to him anymore.

Wait! Stop!

Why?

Have you changed your mind already?

No.

I will return.

But there is something I must do first.

Oh?

But by then, your friends will all be dead.

Then send me back to before they die.

Do you think time bends to your will?

As the moon waxes here,
so it waxes there.

As the moon wanes here,
so too does it wane there.

Your friends will be executed
on the night of the coming new moon.

The new moon...?

That's far too soon!

So, make your decision.

Will you return to their side?

Or will you stay here?

Only six days remain until the new moon.

Even if I return now,
I may not be able to save them.

However...

I cannot return like this.

Give me a few more days.

I enjoyed the coffee.

Thank you, Eun Sil.

I should be the one thanking you.

Drive home safely.

Was this house always this quiet?

So careless…

What if another thief breaks in?

This is why I cannot leave with ease.

What was that…?

No way, another thief?

Is someone there?

I'm calling the police!

Fortunately, everything looks fine.

Time for round two!

Let's go.

We had enough.

But still, let's go for one more!

- Second round!
- I'm in!

- Let's go, let's go!
- Where to? Karaoke?

Sounds good!

We need to unwind today.

What's this?

Why aren't you picking up?

It's my wife…

She'll just nag me to come home early.

Give it to me, I'll talk to her...

No, no, no!

I'll handle it.

Why go the hard way?

Yes, honey.

I told you, it's a work dinner.

What?

You can't just barge in like this.

Do you know how many eyes are on us?

Didn't you say she was
neither dead nor alive?

What?

The owner of the diner.

You said she was
unconscious and unresponsive.

Yes, I did.

She moved.

What?

I saw it with my own eyes.

She moved.

We should get out of here first.

Let's talk somewhere else.

I told you to keep a close watch on her.

Detective Kang...

Is there anything you can do properly?

Excuse me?

At the diner, Heo's Diner or something

there was a break-in,
and I was investigating.

And somehow, you're involved again.

I had my reasons.

I'm too anxious to sleep.

This never happened
when Mr. Homeless was around.

What are you saying, Bong Eun Sil?

He's the one you should fear the most!

Should I ask my friends to come over?

You have a new voice mail
Press the call button to listen.

And who are you?

Where is Lady Eun Sil?

Please call Lady Eun Sil for me.

Excuse me.

If Lady Eun Sil is there, please tell her.

I'm waiting for her at home, worried.

Please tell her to come home soon.

I must have troubled her by bringing up
what should've been left unsaid.

Despite her tough front,
she's a soft-hearted lady…

What's with this mister?

This is so confusing.

Young lady, you can't let him fool you.

Let's talk, just the two of us.

What was he trying to say then?

Mr. Homeless.

Hello?

Eun Sil?

It's you, Mi Sol.

I guess you're with Mr. Homeless.

Why are you asking about him?

Well...

You kicked him out so heartlessly earlier

so why are you looking for him now?

You're right.

I shouldn't have called.

I'll hang up.

He's not here.

He left his phone behind.

He wasn't feeling well

but he still went back to Seonbuk-dong
because he was worried about you.

What?

If I were him, I would've cut ties with you
without a second thought.

What's so great about you...

Hello?

Did she hang up?

Ugh, this girl has no manners!

Mister?

What mister?

Do you have some mister
I don't know about?

That's not funny.

Didn't I tell you to call before coming?

I did, but you didn't pick up.

What are you mad about this time?

Why are you here?

If you're not feeling well,
we can talk later.

It's important.

Just say it and go I'm exhausted.

I came to give you this.

What is it?

A script?

I told you I'm not acting.

Take it back.

I never said you had to accept it.
Just read it.

- I'm leaving.
- Take it with you!

Throw it away then.

[Consideration: Concerns and worries]

Why did you go to Heo's Diner?

It was nothing.

The door was open, so I stepped in

and I accidentally broke a jar.

Turns out it was just a cheap knockoff.

So closing the case won't be an issue.

You say things so easily…

Well, fine.

Let's say that checks out.

But that man, Heo Gyosan,
or was it Heo Gyun?

He knows what's between us.

What are you going to do about this?

It doesn't matter.

No one's going to believe him now.

So stop worrying about useless things

and focus on keeping tabs
on the diner owner's condition.

As long as...

As long as she doesn't wake up

everything will be fine.

What the hell happened that day
between you and the diner owner?

I need to know what I'm covering for
if you want me to defend you properly.

Don't cross the line.

Just do as I say.

Huh?

That's the chef's car…

He hasn't left yet?

Does Chef and Detective Kang know each other?

The moon will wane soon…

There's far too little time.

And on top of that, Lady Eun Sil...

The one I can't trust is you.

Who are you, really?

Tell me the truth.

She doesn't trust me.

If I fail to turn this around

I cannot call myself a Transcendent Genius.

I must settle these matters quickly

and return to save my friends.

Just hold on a little longer…

Chef Lee, what a brilliant idea!

Donating lunchboxes to the underprivileged.
How thoughtful.

I'm flattered you're here to visit

for something so insignificant.

You donated such a large quantity of meals

and at the exact time of the dignitary's
visit to the underprivileged.

Of course, I had to come see you in person.

Were you aware of the
dignitary's schedule in advance?

If I overstepped, I apologize.

Not at all.

Even the dignitary will be pleased.

And it reflects well on me, too.

Thank you.

Actually, I'd like to discuss
with you in private…

Oh, what a shame

I really should be heading out now.

The menu for the state banquet
has been finalized.

Oh?

I'll only be available until late tomorrow.

Then please stop by whenever you can.

I'll clear my entire evening.

Okay, then I'll give you a call
when I leave tomorrow.

Understood.

So, the guy who just left…
that was the Secretary-General?

That's what they're saying.

How does Mr. Lee know someone like him?

Seriously, his business skills are something else.

When did he manage to build
such golden connections?

Exactly.

Mr. Lee, what brings
the Secretary-General here?

I'm...

Set to be appointed as the head chef

for the state banquet
hosted by the President.

It will serve as a crucial platform
to introduce Dorae to the world.

The day when Dorae
and the Korean Cuisine Theme Village

become the heart of the Hallyu is not far off.

Wow!

But it's too soon to be impressed.

There's even better news
that will delight you all.

The final piece...

of the Theme Village puzzle
has finally fallen into place.

You did a great job, Mr. Lee.

You never disappoint.

This is all I have to offer...

It might not be to your taste.

It's okay.

This is good.

Really?

You must be tired.
Go ahead and drink up.

Want another?

No, no, it's okay.

Eun Sil.

I know taking care of your mother
must be a heavy burden

so I'd like to help lighten it for you.

I'm sure your mother would want the same.

Since we finally secured the diner
after years of waiting,

I will create a Korean dessert café

a place so remarkable
it will leave everyone in awe.

I would like to thank you all

for being patient and believing in me.

I knew we could count on Mr. Lee!

I've never doubted him once.

So this was it…!

This is why you harmed the madam.

Mom.

They're moving you
to a general ward this afternoon.

Once you're there,
I'll be by your side all day.

Isn't that nice?

I sold the restaurant.

Chef Lee offered a good deal.

If this was how it was going to end,
I should've just sold it sooner.

Then I wouldn't have met that mister…

From now on,
I'll focus only on taking care of you.

I'll make sure you wake up, Mom.

Detective Kang!

Detective Kang!

I should've asked if he caught the culprit

but we keep missing each other
since yesterday.

I have something to say!

You can't go in here!

Let go of me!

I said, let go!

I must speak with him!

[State Banquet Menu List]

I knew you had your reasons
to harm the madam.

However, was it all just to get
your hands on the diner?

Is that why you left her to die?

Yes, I took over the diner.

But the rest of your claims are
nothing more than wild conspiracy theories.

Eun Sil thinks you are the one responsible

for what happened to the diner owner.

That day, I heard music
at the scene of the accident.

It was the alarm you set

the one that rings at the same time
every day to wake you up.

You were there at that very moment.
And yet, you didn't rush to the injured madam.

Which means...

you were hoping for the worst to happen.

So you could take over
the diner without a hitch!

If you're going to make such absurd accusations

you'd better bring proof.

Achieving your desires by all means...

Gwansong was just like you.

Fine.

I will bring the evidence.

Evidence so undeniable,
you won't be able to talk your way out of it.

There's no such thing.

This is my attorney.
He'll be assisting us with the process.

Hello.

Yes, hello.

Let's discuss things comfortably.

For the real estate transaction to be
fully completed on behalf of your mother

you'll need a court ruling to appoint you
as her legal guardian.

Since your mother is completely unconscious

and you have no other family,
the process should move relatively quickly.

I see.

How long will it take?

It usually takes around six months,
but I'll try to wrap it up within three.

Three months?

That's far too long.

That's the standard time frame.

I explicitly told you this is a priority.

Did I not make myself clear?

Do you think I'm paying your high legal fees
for this kind of delay?

Get it done in a month.

Chef.

There are business matters involved.

Was it that urgent?

Why didn't you tell me before?

You don't need to worry about it, Eun Sil.

Attorney.

Is it possible?

Yes, I'll do my best to shorten it to a month.

Did you bring the documents I requested?

Yes.

This is the agreement
regarding the real estate contract.

An agreement?

It includes the penalty clause in case
you decide to cancel during the review period.

A penalty… ten times the damages?

If the contract is terminated

you'll have to pay ten times
the deposit amount.

You're not planning on backing out, are you?

No, of course not.

I've sent 150 million won to you.

Please check.

[Lee Hyuk - Deposit of 150,145,000 won.]

Yes, I received it.

I guess there's no turning back now.

Well then, I'll get going.

I'll be on my way as well.

Stay for some tea before you go.

No.

No, I wouldn't want to take up your time.

I still have to clear out the diner

and take care of my mom.

You're personally taking care of her?

I was thinking of arranging
a caregiver for your mother.

I appreciate the thought

but now that I have nothing else to do,
I'd rather just stay by her side.

Besides, I have someone
who can check in when I step out.

I see.

Oh, by the way!

About the break-in at our diner…

Could you ask about it for me?

I haven't been able to get in touch
with Detective Kang.

Me?

I can't reach Detective Kang.

You know Detective Kang, right?

No.

Who is he?

You don't know him?

- But yesterday...
- I don't know...

anyone by that name.

I see

I must've been mistaken.

That's far too long.

Do you think I'm paying your high legal fees
for this kind of delay?

I never expected to see
that side of Chef Lee…

What could be so urgent?

You know Detective Kang, right?

No.

Who is he?

I'm sure it was the chef's car.

I couldn't have been mistaken.

Mister!

Mae Chang, I'm here to retrieve
the phone I left behind.

What?

Can't you just say that you're here
because you missed me?

That is also true.

I had to twist your arm to hear that.

Thank you. This is essential for what I must do.

But then...

I'm hungry.

There's nothing I can do for you
because you have no ingredients at home.

Mae Chang, instead of starving,
use sesame oil and salt

to make rice balls like this.

Here, go ahead.

No, I'll just eat what you make me.

I'm telling you this
because I can't cook for you anymore.

Why?

Because I'm leaving this place.

You got a job, didn't you?!

Which restaurant? I'll come visit you.

It's a place you can't come to.

How far is it?

Somewhere in the countryside?

Or are you going abroad?

Much farther than that.

Then, just find a new job in Korea.
I'll help you look.

I must go.

So, learn how to cook for yourself.

You must never skip your meals.

Way to kill my appetite…

You'll change your mind after you taste it.

Come, let's eat before it gets cold.

What's that?

Nothing important.

It looked like a book.

I got offered a role in a movie…

But I'm not going to take it

because I'll probably ruin it again.

Nonsense!

How can you say that without even trying?

I know myself better than anyone.

They'll just mock me for bad acting again
because of another crying scene, anyway.

So you're afraid.

Whatever, let's just eat.

Wait, this is really just
sesame oil and salt?

It's so good!

Before coming here,
I never knew I could cook.

I was reluctant even to enter the kitchen.

But once I did,
I realized it was nothing at all.

If I had let my hesitation stop me,
I wouldn't be here now

sharing this meal with you.

Miss.

Hello.

I stopped by during shift change.

How's your mother doing?

Yes.

She seems calm…
Almost like she doesn't even realize

she's in a different room.

By the way, did her nephew leave?

Pardon?

Nephew?

He visited this morning as well.

- He came to see my mom?
- Yes.

He asked when she'd be moved,
so I assumed he'd be here.

What does he look like?

Mister, do you have to go?

I do.

Thank you for everything.

Why are you talking like
we'll never see each other again?

Even if you're going overseas,
it's just a few hours away.

Give me your phone.

I saved my phone so you can call me.

And if you ever get curious about
what I'm up to

just search "Jung Mi Sol".

Like this.

You can look me up like this, okay?

So many words and pictures…

If I type in my name,
will things about me show up as well?

Come on, your name won't show any results.

This is only possible for
celebrities like me... So...

Only famous people can be searched for.

Is that so?

Be sure to call me.

And return as soon as possible.

That might not be possible.

Stay healthy without any regrets, Mae Chang.

I mean,

Lady Mi Sol.

He looked to be in his late 30s…

Quite tall, with sharp, striking features.

This morning, he was wearing
a navy padded jacket.

Detective Kang!

Detective Kang.

Why would Detective Kang
pretend to be my mom's nephew?

You've been manipulating her!

You were the one who harmed her mother!

What if he was telling the truth

and the chef was lying?

That would mean
he really did come from Joseon.

That's ridiculous.

Excuse me...

Oh, you're the owner of the 10,000-won jar.

Are you here to restore your jar?

No, this time, I brought this.

It's a new book.

Just from this, I could learn everything
there is to know about Lady Mi Sol.

Oh! Oops!

Wait.

If I can find every piece of information on someone...

[Lee Hyuk]

[Owner of Dorae
2018 Korean Master Chef]

[Is world-class chef "Lee Hyuk" a strong
candidate for the Blue House banquet?]

[Star Chef Lee Hyuk rises as the leading
candidate for the Blue House state banquet.]

I cannot give a value to this.

As I expected.

Is that so?

This is "Domundaejak".

It was written over 400 years ago

and only the manuscripts remain to this date.

But this...

This seems to be the original version,
no matter how much I look at it.

Let alone the content, this handwriting...

The paper looks new

but it's undoubtedly a technique
used during the mid-Joseon Dynasty.

Then, the person who wrote this is...

Heo Gyun!

Look.

Where did you get this?

Can I take the book back?

What have you done?

How did you store a book
from 400 years ago

to make it look like it was written
only a few days ago?

Give it to me.

How much do you want?

Tell me, I'll give you as much as you want.

Oh, give it to me!

I need to return it.

You stole that, didn't you?

[Heo Gyun]

Heo Gyun was a civil servant
of the Joseon Dynasty.

In the 27th year of King Seonjo's reign,
he passed the state civil service exam.

In the 30th year, he passed
the special examination again

and served as the Magistrate of Gongju
but was impeached, dismissed, and exiled.

He sought to resist
the rigid social hierarchy

and discrimination against
illegitimate sons.

However, his plan was discovered,
and he was executed by dismemberment.
