-In previous episodes-

If you block my way, I will kill all of you.

Don't worry.

I will fight your father's remaining contracted fights.

Someone has framed you through that man.

What do I do?

I saw it. I saw Father's intentions.

Would it do if I exiled him to Jeju Island for about a year?

Oh, lady!

Region 2 guard's corpse has been found.

The stabber would probably be a female.

Your opponent has been selected, but we've a big problem.

They've brought a death row inmate who has killed over twenty people.

~ Episode 7 ~

-Which one are you betting on? -Black.

Take a gulp. It's soju.

What's the payoff for this match?

Payoff? My foot!

Just focus on staying alive.

What's the ratio of the payoff for me?

If you win, it's 9 times the ante. If the innate wins, it's 1.5 times the ante.

Put all the money you have on me.

Let's make some money.

Of course, I'm betting in your favor.

I don't care about money. Just don't get killed.

I usually don't take free drinks.

I'll pay for the drink after the match.

What do people live for?

Some people live for love.

While others live for fun.

Then there are others...for the sake of their reputation...they will die.

The ecstatic dream of winning riches untold.

The joy of the victory, pure and spirited.

Yes. I live for the gamble.

Black.

Wait, wait, wait.

White.

I'm sorry. Those who are alive must keep living.

No!

No. You don't have the right to eat.

Telling that to a man who is already sad for losing his bet.

Hey you, you're not supposed to do that with food.

That's why I say...

a person should be loyal.

Even the dojo master bet in oppa's favor. And here you are, on the same team yet a betrayer.

By the way,

the dojo master gave me this, but I don't know what it is.

Oh my goodness!

Well, could this be a wedding gift?

The dojo master has done something that is unlike himself.

Well, since he won, I guess it wouldn't be that unusual.

It's pretty.

Meeyo, you have it.

Pardon?

Meeyo, it's from the groom to the bride. Take it.

A ring should be given to a person he loves.

Baek Roek, do you have someone you love in Korea?

What did she say?

Do you have a girl in Korea to whom you'd give a ring?

A girl?

Yes.

Someone I long to see very much.

Ahjussi!

I have a girl in every region of Korea.

Tell me correctly.

He has a fianc�e who is very pretty and very wealthy.

Meeyo.

I'm sorry I got mad a little while ago.

I still like you even if you have someone you love.

I'm sorry.

Madam, the commander has just arrived.

Is he on his way here?

He's gone to the main house first.

Did you inform him that she has fainted?

Yes.

Stay lying down a little more.

What about Suk Joo?

Did he come home?

Not yet.

Where are you getting up to go?

I have to see Father.

See him for what?

I have to see him to question him.

Lady.

If what the young master said was true,

it wouldn't help any even if you were to question him.

Then, what do we do?

My brother is being pursued by the guards right now.

It may be a difficult matter to discuss between father and daughter, but not for me and him.

I'll verify what his excellency has in mind.

Let's come up with a plan after we find out.

Send word to all the relatives to detain Suk Joo if he shows up and notify me immediately.

Yes, Father.

Commander.

Yes sir.

Even if we have to round up the private army, we have to find him before the guards do.

Yes sir.

We can't be late this time.

I'll be mindful of it.

But more importantly, Father-in-law.

Yes.

I'm convinced that someone is behind the framing of Brother-in-law and the murder of the Region 2 guard.

Do you have a hunch who it might be?

Yes.

Your excellency, the new lady of the house is here.

I came to inform you that Lady So Young has regained consciousness.

You should've let the servants do that. Thank you for your work.

Then, please continue your discussion.

Why is Suk Joo causing a ruckus by running off like this?

If it's alright with you, may I interject a word here?

Of course.

Please come in and speak.

Incidentally, before the young master ran away, he conversed with Lady So Young about a few things.

His statements may reveal the reason for him fleeing.

But I can't fathom what it might mean.

What did Suk Joo say?

But first, please understand that he might have said these words in an unstable emotional state.

So Young, you must definitely stay alive.

My father is a person like Wang Mahng.

Wang Mahng.

I will not be destroyed by Father.

I won't let Father end this board game that my life hangs on.

I will conquer my father.

Have you seen such a stupid fool!

Brother-in-law, who is Wang Mahng?

A ruler of the Han dynasty...

Commander.

Yes.

It seems we need not look for the framer.

Pardon?

This fool, Suk Joo, thinks his father framed him.

Pardon?

What do you mean by that?

This matter has become complicated.

If Suk Joo is captured by the guards,

he'll denigrate the family's honor down through the generations.

The son is about to report his father, believing that his father is about to kill him.

Among the courtesans I know, how many do you think live to an old age as concubines?

About twelve or thirteen?

Um...

Are you alright?

I will help however I can, so tell me if you find anything difficult.

Your wife collapsed, so I am constantly nursing her...

it's not hard work; however, it is a little bothersome.

Can you please nurse your wife back to health?

Don't bother offering, when you can't even follow a thought with a promise.

Furthermore, no matter how difficult the task

I would not accept your help.

Good work, everyone. Did Her Highness In Bin send you?

I regretfully inform you that you'll need to go back without seeing her.

What?

In Bin, do you find this enjoyable?

You're reading these justice department's reports as if they're letters or something.

My apologies.

So, how do you assess this murder case?

Independent of whether the perpetrator is caught or not,

the justice department is mishandling all this.

The preliminary investigation was mishandled as well as the victim reports.

The search for the missing person was also mishandled.

It was the minister of war who ended up finding the corpse.

Father, please don't come looking for your daughter at the palace.

What did you just say?

You want your father, the minister of justice, to be removed from office?

Did I hear her correctly?

That's what I heard also.

Your majesty,

how long will you continue to ignore the politicians' neglect or the nation's discontentment?

This matter has spun out due to the justice department's lapse in the investigations.

You must hold the minister of justice accountable for substandard investigations.

You must reaffirm the nation's law by capturing the culprits quickly.

By resigning now, you'll be able to become chief prime minister later.

Father, compare the first vice-premier clinging to his position despite his son's murder case,

with the minister of justice who takes full ownership of any oversight and resigns.

Who would the people and the scholars prefer?

Even if things go awry, it is an advantage that you never personally contended with the first vice-premier.

You wouldn't have come here without a reason.

Please tell me what you came here for.

It seems we'd mutually benefit from that.

Well, really now.

I had always thought I was unlucky with people.

I'm reassured today by the goodness and wisdom I saw in you.

I took your requests to heart and I will act accordingly.

I'm already grateful that you're not reprimanding me to focus on the internal court matters.

I am embarrassed that you're commending me.

Your Highness In Bin,

you mentioned that the department of justice's reports were mishandled.

Has your highness already found the culprit just by examining the reports, by chance?

Are you jesting with me, Eunuch Do?

If we can catch a culprit just by looking at the reports,

there wouldn't be a case in this world we couldn't solve.

However, I do have a few hunches.

What are they?

Let's hear them.

I can show it to you.

You cannot take it, though.

Of course.

There is one more thing.

Please share with me the things you detect about the letter.

Fine.

Their penmanship doesn't reveal much.

They've used paper made of weed and straw, which are common and easily acquired.

We can know one thing by this.

The one who sent this secret letter is very intelligent.

The commander isn't as honest as he seems.

Why would you say that?

The scent.

The scent?

Many scents can be specific and unique enough to use as great evidence.

However, no one mentioned the scent, but chattered only useless formalities.

I was going to mention it eventually because I thought it was an obvious thing for you.

I enlisted the help from my staff because I also couldn't detect it immediately.

Do you know the history of apiaceae?

I don't know of its history.

In the country villages, we call it Angelica gigas, a herb known for reinvigorating energy.

According to old common practices,

they say wives would put Angelica gigas in their husbands' bags when called to battlefields.

If their husbands had this,

the wives believed that their husbands would return alive even from the fiercest and bloodiest battlefields.

A person who may have shed much blood...

The problem is there are more than one or two who've shed much blood in our nation.

Magnificent! Great!

So, you're practicing to be ambidextrous.

Right.

Since your skills were disclosed in the last fight,

you need new skills to defeat your new opponents.

Good thinking.

I wouldn't be able to use it in fights yet.

It wouldn't matter, since you wouldn't bet on me anyway.

This recluse of a man is slighting me.

Fine.

I've had a rude awakening in losing a ton of money.

I've learned to the core of my bones that loyalty is stronger than great luck.

Let's strategize our next opponent over some nourishment for the bodies.

Let's go.

Where's Meeyo?

She went to a village meeting.

Most of the islanders seems to be gathering.

Is something the matter?

Some pirates landed on the island yesterday.

They're notorious in Korea, Kyushu and even to the deep south.

The dojo master worked hard to invite them.

By any chance,

my next opponent wouldn't be a pirate, would he?

I really like a quick discerning man.

This way, I don't have to say much.

Something's a little strange though.

Wouldn't it be too dangerous even for a pirate to risk his life in a fight?

The Dojo master's payoff is different.

Just how much is he betting?

No, no.

It's not the amount of the bet, but what the wager is.

What do you think would be the most valuable thing that a pirate would risk his life for?

His ship.

Water.

Food supply.

Wind.

Women?

What would be the power that controls all of those?

It would be the sutras of Buddha.

In the dojo master's lineage,

there is a set of golden sutra readings passed down through the generations.

It's a priceless item of a velvet cloth with gold letters of Buddha's teachings.

It's a treasure that is said to cure even the terminally ill if they just touch it.

They say the ships carrying the sutras are guided by the best wind, surviving through storms.

You've heard that too, right?

The golden Buddhist sutras...

And, a family's heritage even...

he'll wager it on a fight?

Isn't it really odd?

They're so good at making swords,

but why don't they make spoons?

Dang.

Ahjussi....

I think I have to eat rice with a spoon.

You want me to have one made for you?

That's not what I mean...

I'm going to go to Korea.

If you go back

what are Meeyo and her brothers going to do?

That's why I'm saying this

I want to make another deal with the dojo master.

How?

If I win...

he lets me return to Korea.

Meeyo and her younger brothers,

I will take them with me.

If I were the dojo master,

I'd have no reason to accept the deal.

We can come up with a good reason now.

-Will launch an attack. -It's not possible. We can't.

We can just things be.

The instant I kill my opponent,

Taku, you and the guards kill off the rest of the pirates at the arena.

Simultaneously, the king's guards will attack the remaining pirates guarding the ship.

"The instant I kill my opponent,"

"Taku, you and the guards kill off the rest of the pirates at the arena."

"Simultaneously, the king's guards will attack the remaining pirates guarding the ship."

The pirates are enemies of Japan.

Just how many innocent lives were harmed by the pirates.

This is an opportunity to take care of this problem once and for all.

Let's tell our plans to the Tsushima people.

The front man for the pirates isn't a human.

About twenty soldiers in Kyushu were harmed.

It's about the fighter you'll be going against.

I also gathered some information about it.

Apparently, he sold his name and memory to the pirates in exchange for absolute clemency.

He's silent like a mute man.

Yet his sword is swift as lightning.

Without a past, hometown, or memory, he is said to know only the sword.

I saw the dojo master yawn often during the matches.

At this rate,

it won't be long before you and other vassals will see bloodshed yourselves.

The dojo master is bored right now.

Fights alone won't satisfy him.

He'll need real killings.

If we don't slay the pirates this time

then it will be your heads that will roll in the next rounds.

Meeyo.

I've bound my life to yours.

I also promised Kato that I would protect you.

When I finish my fight this time,

let's go to Korea together.

You're facing danger because of me.

I'm sorry.

It snows a lot in my hometown.

Sometimes, the snow level is up to the waist.

I had heard it snows a lot in Kato's hometown too.

Do you like snow too, Meeyo?

I like it when you smile.

You have a scary face too.

I need to hurry and learn Meeyo's language.

This won't do. It's too frustrating.

Although I want to go with you to Korea,

my hometown is here in Tsushima.

I'm going to live here and die here.

Alright.

Baek Roek, I wager all I have on you today.

[Tsushima Fighting Arena]

Mu Myung,

you were alive.

Mu Myung, snap out of it.

It's me. I'm your captain.

It's about your fighter opponent.

I've also gathered some information on him.

He's sold his name and memory to the pirates in exchange for absolute clemency.

Dude! Snap out of it!

It's your captain!

You say that the minister of justice resigned?

Yes.

He claims to take responsibility for substandard investigations.

He informed his majesty that he will step down.

In less than half a day's time, his majesty granted it.

The magistrate was indeed a man of honor.

It seems that a fox has entered the palace.

In Bin is influencing the king, scheming for her father.

We can't let things proceed this way.

Father, is it bad that the magistrate resigned?

What benefit is it to us for him to resign now?

It's a false truce to score points with the scholars.

It's not time for us to sit idly by.

Commander, you come with me to the palace.

Hyo Joo, coordinate with your uncle for a thorough search of the city.

Yes sir.

Father, would it be alright if you went to the palace alone?

I need to talk to him.

You! What kind of childish demand is this?

Your excellency, the commander hasn't even had a chance to change his clothes for days due to his work.

It would only take a few minutes to change his clothes and get some nourishment.

Please understand Lady So Young's heart.

Go ahead and do that.

Yes sir.

Have some food before you go.

How can I enjoy a warm meal at home when Brother-in-law is being pursued outside.

There's no need to feel rushed.

Brother has also had a warm meal.

What are you saying?

Did you see Brother-in-law?

I thought it was strange that he couldn't be found even with the court guard on the search.

I was thinking where Brother could have gone.

Mother's grave site came to mind.

I consulted with the new lady of the house and went to the Ahnyang hill this morning with her.

He was hiding at a bunker.

At your mother's gravesite?

Have some food first.

Is Brother-in-law alright?

Yes. He looked a bit scruffy, but was in good health.

This meal is quite special.

If you've have no appetite, just have a little bit of broth.

How does it taste?

It tastes a little bitter, doesn't it?

This fragrance...

By chance, was Angelica gigas used?

Being a medicinal herb, the fragrance is bit strong, but it's the best thing for reinvigorating strength.

Did you make this?

Yes.

No.

I wished I had, but I lack the cooking skills.

The new lady of the house made it from the book my late mother left.

She made it for Suk Joo's health, when he was released from the court jailhouse.

The new lady of the house...

Their penmanship reveals nothing about them.

They've used paper made of weed and straw, which are common and easily acquired.

What are you doing?

You've framed by using the Region 2 guard.

You sent a secret message to the minister of war.

What?

The one who created a schism between a father and son with a story of Wang Mahng.

Was it you?

What are you talking about?

Jung Yeon, do you know what you've just done?

Of course.

I know very well.

You've left out one thing.

The one who killed the Region 2 guard...

it was me.

Stop.

This is just the beginning.

Shall I tell you what I have left to do?

First, Suk Joo will need to be killed to show Sir Kang what it feels like to have one of his own blood killed.

Then, I will fill this house with suspicion, confusion and instability, little by little...

but with certainty...

until the members of this family hate, tear apart, and kill one another.

Stop!

Fine.

Kill me.

You've deceived people, killed and trapped them.

And, you still have tears left in you to shed?

I'm not crying because I'm sad.

I'm enraged...

that I didn't kill all.

And, I feel apologetic to Baek Roek.

I'm enraged.

You!

Hey dude! Snap out of it!

Right. Right. That makes it interesting.

It's okay if it's uninteresting. Just win.

I don't want to learn another lesson here, Baek Roek.

My name is Lee Baek Roek.

Your name is Mu Myung.

We are servants of the king of Korea, the Black Cloud Swords.

You don't remember me?

I'd have no regret even if you slay me.

Please, just remember your name when you look at my severed head.

You just need to run in one direction at times like this.

I'm not doing it because there is a possibility.

I do it because I have to.

Be sure to avenge me in your next life.

I think So Young has seen Suk Joo.

Where is he right now?

I finally will get my payoff from a high-class lady.

You're right. I did it.

I said, stop!

Wait, wait, wait.

If you go now, you'll die in vain.

Meeyo wouldn't want that either.
