(Episode 9)

I must see the King

Are you crazy? Do you think the king...

is some hermit who lives in a country village?

Don't even say that!

The executioner's blade may end up falling!

If I want to meet the king...

what must I do?

Crazy girl

Is there no way?

Right

It isn't completely impossible to do it

All you have to do is cross over the palace wall...

and get caught and killed by royal guards...

Or...

get killed by the king's silent and invisible bodyguards

If you become a ghost...

you could have an audience with the king

If you're a ghost...

even if you cross over the palace wall...

nobody would know

Officer Lee!

The first time I saw you...

was when I was seven years old

My father had died...

and after having been separated from my mother and brother...

I was a reckless child...

who did not know what sadness was

On that day...

in the heavy pouring rain...

you were looking at me

After that day...

you were my father...

my mother...

and my brother

The time I have spent with you up to now...

is everything that I can remember in my life

If I lose you when you mean that much to me...

how could I continue to live?

My lord...

Like you said...

I should not have gone to the mountain camp in the first place

If I had not gone...

I would not have met the rebel leader

Your life was at stake...

but my heart would not let me kill that man...

I do not understand it

That pains me more than dying

The only way I can cleanse my heart...

is to do this

This stupid girl...

will die like this

In laying down my life...

I wish for you to reach your goals in life

Young master...

The destined meeting we had...

please...

forget about it

Young master...

Withdraw

- Is she still breathing? - Yes.

Who are you?

He asked you who you are

Left... Left Police Bureau... damo...

Jang Chae-Ohk

I would like an audience...

with Your Highness

Damo?

Who ordered you to assassinate me?

I- I...

had something...

to tell Your Majesty

You risked your life to tell me something?

A girl? All by yourself?

What in heaven's name is it?

Can you not see that he is asking you a question?

Answer him quickly!

Please tell your attendents to stand back

Everyone withdraw

It is all right

He is no different than my own limbs

Please...

command that...

this case will be...

entrusted to the...

Left Police Bureau Chief...

and Commander Hwangbo Yoon

Please issue that command...

I will tell you

Your Highness!

Your royal power is in danger!

Tell me

I am listening

All the credit

for discovering this should go to

the Police Chief and the Commander Hwangbo Yoon

Please issue the command

Did not I tell you to tell me?!

The counterfeiting organization...

is not...

a simple band of rebels

They have many trained soldiers...

and are... armed with weapons

They intend on... raising an insurrection!

They used counterfeit money... to reinforce their armament...

and laid a trap...

to eliminate...

the Training General guarding the capital city

It was all...

art of a conspiracy...

Who else knows about this?

No one...

No one knows

What did you say your name was?

Well...

she's not here or at the Police Bureau!

Where are you saying she went?!

You idiot

Why are you asking that here?

Officer Lee!

What?

Officer Lee?

You idiot

Are you blind?

Officer Lee...

Officer Lee, don't do this

Don't do this!

Stop it

I'll beat you senseless if you try

to pull rank one more time!

Do you have any job skills?

Don't be foolish. Let's just go

My goodness

You don't have any sympathy!

How was I able to live with such a heartless woman?

Man!

I have the sense of duty to stay your husband

Isn't it proper to at least act like you're concerned?

Am I'm acting like this because my future's so comfortable?

Those people saved us We aren't being chased anymore

How can we just watch them get beheaded?

That image will weigh on me for the rest of my life!

How can we just watch it?!

Foolish woman...

Has there been a funeral yet?! Huh?!

Why are you already making a fuss?

Stop crying

Who's there?!

It's Chae-Ohk, isn't it?

Oh my gosh!

Chae-Ohk!

Brother!

Chae-Ohk! Oh my gosh!

Brother!

Please wake up!

Brother!

Come on!

Hurry and come out!

Please come out!

Ohk! Ohk!

Chae-Ohk!

Wake up!

Open your eyes!

My lord

Yeah

It's me

Who is it?

Who did this to you?

I met...

the King

What are you saying?

You crazy girl!

Did you really cross over the palace wall?

Chae-Ohk! Chae-Ohk!

Chae-Ohk!

Ohk! Ohk! Chae-Ohk!

Chae-Ohk!

Chae-Ohk!

The counterfeiting organization...

is not a simple band of rebels...

They used counterfeit money... to reinforce their armament...

and laid a trap...

to eliminate...

the Training General guarding the capital city...

You may leave

Heung-Bok

Heung-Bok!

Yes, Your Highness?

What should I do?

You're the only person

I can talk to

Your Majesty

You must boost your sincerity

There are many people behind me

Speak your thoughts

Since they were able to eliminate the Training General...

we know that they are very thorough men

Someone must be directing their every move

Someone among our inner counsels?

I believe so

Do you think the Police Chief...

is also caught in their trap?

The Training General Jung Hong-Du...

and the Police Chief Joh Seh-Ook...

are the axis of Hansung's defense...

untainted by political factions

Through his mistake...

we lost the Training General

How can I not punish him for that?

But then our enemies also gain an advantage

The Training General who would serve you even in death...

would not want that either

The Police Chief lost his best friend...

and lost his only son

Your Highness...

Your royal authority is at stake!

How is she?

Her pulse isn't coming back

You jerk!

For a man who calls himself a doctor

is that all you can say?

At least try acupuncture, idiot!

My lord!

If she's not in the condition

to even take some life-saving medicine or take acupuncture...

then she's no different from a corpse

Then...

are you saying we have to watch her die like this?

How can this...

Sir...

Please save our Chae-Ohk!

Please save her! Please!

There is nothing I can do

Use some medicine

If she's no different from a corpse like you say...

then use medicine or acupuncture as much as you like!

M- my lord!

It is a good day to die

This is not the execution grounds

We brought them

Leave them here

Go back to the Police Bureau

Who are you?

The two of you are already dead

While holding out for the remainder of your life...

do not concern yourself with your own safety...

but fulfill the command

Stop!

Is it a royal command?

Did she call herself Chae-Ohk?

You have appointed a fine subordinate

However...

She was a reckless girl

A golden belt...

Your Highness!

Sir!

There is a note

Though you swore that you would lay down your life...

I would be alone without your services

The people behind the counterfeit money are the conspirators

Secretly examine the inner royal advisers...

and discover their true character...

so you may reassure your king

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Your Highness...

You reinstated the criminal who made...

the innocent Training General commit suicide

There is no precedent for this!

This shakes the solidity of the national laws!

Not only did he lose the counterfeiting ring

he also caused the annihilation of the raid soldiers...

both of which should be capitally punished...

but acquiting him... without consulting a minister...

is something that must not happen!

The suicide of the Training General...

happened during his investigation

And the raid...

happened while the Police Chief was in prison

He's not fully responsible

Your Highness

However... He was close friends with the Training General...

and the leader of the raid's father

I want to give him another chance

Your Highness!

I gave that command after careful deliberation!

Do not argue any longer

Did you...

Did you say she trespassed the palace?

I said...

foolish words to her

She lost her mind

Without going insane...

how could anyone do that in a proper state of mind?

What did you command Chae-Ohk to do?

Dang

That's why I kept telling her to leave the Police Bureau

I am very sorry

She has many external wounds...

but since her internal wounds are so serious...

I can no longer...

However, maybe the King's personal physician could try...

The royal physician was ordered to treat an ill magistrate...

so he went to that estate

Are you the royal physician?

Who are you?

I am the commander of the Left Police Bureau, Hwangbo Yoon

What business do I have with the police?

It is not police business

I have a subordinate who's life is hanging in a balance

Please save her, Doctor

What are you talking about?

How can you ask me to examine...

a subordinate at the Police Bureau?

If someone heard about this, you would be dead

Get out of here right now!

Let us go, lord

Only you can save her

I will submit to whatever you ask

Please save this patient!

I understand how you feel but...

without an order from the King...

I cannot treat anyone personally

Please find another doctor

She is in such a serious condition

that other doctors gave up

Please have sympathy

and please make an exception!

I am sorry

If you really cannot do it

I will kill the two of you here...

and I will kill myself

Royal doctor!

Though it is my duty to examine the king's body...

but in dealing with one's life

I am no different from any village doctor

Saving a patient's life...

gives me the same happiness as saving my own life

I will not forget

the debt I owe to you

Debt?

I have saved countless lives, but this is...

the first time I've seen someone with all of her spirit lines cut

Seeing your sincerity for the patient...

I truly wanted to save her

Does that mean... she will die?

You cannot say that she is alive right now

I am sorry

What should we do?

My lord

We cannot send her away like that

We cannot send Chae-Ohk away like that, my lord

My lord, my lord

We cannot send her away no matter what!

You can't go!

Where are you going to take her?

I would like to go too

I wanna go too! I wanna go!

My lord!

I will accompany you

If I do not return with my own feet

there is no need to search for me

I want to go too!

I wanna go!

My lord!

Ohk!

Monk...

There has still been no word?!

I am sorry

I should have followed him

I am checking out every place he could have gone. - Keep your mouth shut

No need to put so much effort into finding him

From now on, I will personally direct everything and receive all reports

Sir...

Officer Lee, disguise yourself as a peddler and go to

every public social gathering and locate Jang Sung-Baek!

Yes, sir!

Did you just arrive?

How did it go?

In Hwang-He province, a small magistrate's estate

was attacked. A portion of...

the taxes was given to the people...

the other portion was taken by Jang Sung-Baek's group

which is very popular

Those scum

He's trying to win over the people

How about the mountain camp?

We looked around Jang-Soo mountain

and Myul-Ahk mountain near the village...

Are you saying you didn't find them?

I am sorry

That's enough

They're not rash enough to attack a guard station

They're not easy men to catch

We'll take an hour break before moving on

Eat your rice balls and rest

Yes, sir!

Hold onto this

Where are you going, sir?

My lord!

Leave him alone

This is where all the raid soldiers were massacred

He is probably going to pay his respects

Hmm

They're all lepers

I clearly saw counterfeit coins

being made from molds

How far is it from Jang Sung-Baek's old camp?

Only two mountain summits

It is in a village of lepers that no one approaches

Who would have imagined?

There is no mistaking that it is Jang Sung-Baek's forge!

Who knows about this?

I did not tell anyone and rode here as fast as possible

To the outside of the capital city...

bring one group of the elite forces to stand by

If we capture those people, we can

determine where Jang Sung-Baek moved his mountain camp

And we can immediately assault the place

Only one group of elite forces?

Capturing Jang Sung-Baek is not the problem

Do NOT kill anyone on the raid

Only take prisoners... and recover the coin molds

Pardon?

We have to move...

so even a mouse or a bird doesn't know it!

The Police Chief is personally leading troops to the furnace village

What should we do?

My lord!

Get rid of the village

Are you saying to kill everyone?

Don't they all already have leprosy?

Send Kato Masayuki (Japanese guy)

If it's them...

they'll arrive before the troops

Jang Sung-Baek will not sit still

Inform Boss Jang...

My lord!

that the troops will get there soon

What message is it?

We're going to the furnace village

Bring one hundred swords

Yes, my lord?

Why the furnace village so suddenly?

I told you to bring your swords!

You scoundrels!

Who are you?!

There is no one left alive

I cannot find any evidence of counterfeit coins in the forge either

Tell the others...

and bury the corpses

And burn the village

This is not his sword

It is a foreign sword

They have bloodshot eyes looking for you and you came all the way here?

Are you crazy?

I must see our lord

What did you say?

Don't you know that the police are carefully watching the royal court?

Didn't I say I must see him?

The first time I saw you...

was when I was seven years old

My father had died...

and after having been separated from my mother and brother...

I was a reckless child

who did not know what sadness was

On that day...

in the heavy pouring rain

you were looking at me

After that day

you were my father...

my mother...

and my brother

The time I have spent with you up to now...

is everything that I can remember... in my life

If I lose you when you mean that much to me...

how could I continue to live?

My lord...

Like you said...

I should not have gone to the mountain camp in the first place

If I had not gone...

I would not have met the rebel leader

Your life was at stake

but my heart would not let me kill that man...

I do not understand it

That pains me more than dying

The only way I can cleanse my heart

is to do this

This stupid girl...

will die like this

In laying down my life...

I wish for you to reach your goals in life

Young master...

The destined meeting we had...

please...

forget about it

Young master...

I cannot send you like this

I still have not said...

any of the feelings in my heart

Chae-Ohk...

I'm here

Didn't you say...

you feel when you are breathing in each moment?

After hearing that...

do you know how hard my heart was racing?

I'm not even as good as a pig

Half noble blood...

who left a mother

whose hands and feet were swollen from labor

What drive would I have had to live?

I was the same

Since you were there...

in each moment...

I could feel that I was breathing

I didn't even tell you that

and fifteen years have gone by

Chae-Ohk...

don't go

I still haven't done anything for you, Chae-Ohk

Can you hear me?

Chae-Ohk...

Don't go, Chae-Ohk!

Chae-Ohk!

Chae-Ohk!

Don't go, Chae-Ohk!

This is Boss Jang

Have you been well?

I heard the news

It was truly a horrible thing

It was not government troops

Do you think I ordered it?

Is that why...

you wanted to see me?

This is a sword of...

the men hiding all around us right now

The furnace village people

with leprosy

and turn their back on the world...

but they spilled blood and sweat for us!

Did you...

see me as someone so disgusting...

that I would massacre people like that?

Well...

it is the same as if I had killed them

If I had known a little earlier

this would not have happened

Is heaven abandoning us?

This is all...

because of my unworthiness

Too many brothers have died...

to blame this on unworthiness

And that sword...

was there

Come out!

Everyone come out!

Ask if it is their sword

Is it yours?

Yes!

Yoda!

Yes, sir!

Is this...

the short sword...

you lost?

Is it yours?

Yes

What happened?

When I...

went to transport the counterfeit coins...

I lost it in the mountains

What are they saying?

He says it was lost when they were transporting

counterfeit coins from the furnace village to Hansung

I will...

prove it...

with my life

He says he is innocent

They are all helping us

Must everyone split their stomachs so you will believe it?

Why didn't the government troops...

take a single prisoner...

and kill everyone?

It could be...

the police's revenge for the massacre of the raid soldiers

Otherwise, how could...

they have acted without my, the Minister of Defense's, knowledge?

I will make them regret it

Before I find the murderers...

I will not return to the mountain camp!

Go back!

Sharpen your sword with that sadness and rage

The day for you to raise your sword is not far off!

I will handle the rest myself

He is a man who has given his service for ten years!

There are many men other than you who I can pay thousands of gold pieces to

But the only man in all of Korea who can grasp the hearts of the people

is Jang Sung-Baek!

I put all of my spirit into her...

but she still won't breathe

Does she have to lay like this

for the rest of her life?

Hit her with a finishing blow!

Are you saying I should kill her?

There are two possible outcomes

She will either die or her spiritual energy will be revived

Sir...

Do you want her to lay silent for her whole life?

If it's Chae-Ohk...

if something bad happens to her, she would want it to be by your hand

Decide

You must not put any bias in your hands

The protective spiritual energy only comes out when one is put in danger

Cast aside any thoughts of saving her

You must kill her

You must definitely kill her!
