- Clear the way! Year 1540, March of the 35th year of King Jungjong's reign

Clear the way!

Thirteen prisoners need to be transferred today.

Next.

Starting from now, we will conduct a body search!

Before we have the search, if there are any gold or coins

that you're hiding on your body, bring them out at once.

If we find anything on anyone, we will strip them of all their clothes

and tie them to the pillar! Take them off!

Are you all deaf!?

Quickly take them off!

Hurry up and strip down!

Strip down naked!

Take off your pants. Take off your pants!

How refreshing.

Take it off!

Do you want me to take it off, huh? Hurry up!

Sir, please give me some.

Be quiet. Be quiet!

Jun Woo Chi, male, cell 6!

Entering now!

Jung Nan Jung, female, cell 5!

Entering now!

Go in!

Lee Ji Ham, male, cell 9!

Entering now!

Male, Cell 9

- Episode 1 -

It's so cold! It doesn't feel like spring.

Why is it so cold?

It looks like I'll be cleaning up corpses again this spring.

People freeze to death even in the spring?

Of course! Go out towards the stream.

There are a ton of magpies that froze to death. What makes you think it doesn't happen to humans as well?

I cleaned up five corpses last spring.

- Five? - That's what I'm saying!

- What was that? - T-There! G-Ghost?

A ghost?

I-I think... I saw something pass by over there...

Nothing?

Am I just seeing things?

Let's go.

Second floor, male, cell 6,

4 people!

Second floor, male, cell 6, 4 people!

Second floor, male, cell 7, 5 people!

Second floor, male, cell 7, 5 people!

Second floor, male, cell 8, 5 people!

Second floor, male, cell 8, 5 people!

Second floor, male, cell 13, 2 people!

Cell 13, 2 people!

Female, cell 4, 5 people!

Female, cell 4, 5 people!

Female, cell 5, 5 people!

Female, cell 5...

What are you talking about? There should be six people. Check again.

There are only five!

What? How can this... Open it up! Quickly, open it!

One, two, three, four, five. Who's missing?

There's an escapee! There's someone who escaped for her own safety!

What I saw earlier wasn't a ghost! It was an escapee!

- There's an escapee! - Someone has escaped!

There's an escapee!

There's an escapee! There's an escapee!

Aish! Hey!

Move it! Move it!

- Hurry! - This way.

- This way. - Let's go.

You crazy fools!

Have you caught them all?

Yes, sir!

I will make them meet an early death.

You good-for-nothing idiots.

You dare run away?

Sir, spare us! Please spare us!

Shut up! Since you gave up on living as a human being,

I will treat you like trash!

Since you all participated in escaping,

I will treat you all like dogs!

Stop! I told you to stop!

What do you want?

It is strictly forbidden for a prison government official to lay a hand on others. How dare you beat these people? (Jung Nan Jung)

What? This wench!

If you're going to lay a finger on me, kill me instead!

But if I survive, I'll make sure to report it to the Ministry of Law and Justice!

What is this girl spouting about?

Don't you dare... state that these people are more worthless than pigs and dogs.

The reason why that lady risked her life to find that person

wasn't to satisfy her sexual desires, but to take care of her husband's illness.

You won't be safe either, if the higher-ups find out

that the government official bypassed the proper steps of punishment.

I will make sure they are aware of everything that's happened!

- Does this girl want to die? - Kill me!

- Sir! Sir! - This wench...

Put them in their cells!

Yes, sir!

Get up! Let's go!

Hurry up!

What is that girl?

She is Sosoroo's gisaeng, Jung Nan Jung. (Gisaeng: Slave trained in art, music, literature and medicine)

Sosoroo's gisaeng?

This way!

I can't go any further...

I will stay and fight them here. Please hurry and go to the capital!

Go to the capital?

It's better to hide among the people.

Have a safe delivery.

Your child will get your revenge for you.

Quickly go.

- Open the door. - Yes, sir.

Ji Chun Deuk

Release Jung Nan Jung!

You've suffered many hardships.

Thank you for your help.

Please come by Sosoroo tonight.

How can a low prison official like me go to the capital's greatest gisaeng house?

I don't have that kind of capability.

I'll invite you, so don't worry about the cost.

Oh, w-would you really?

I-I'll go. You can bet on it!

I am headed off to Sosoroo.

I will be at Sosoroo tonight.

I'm getting a taste of the good life!

Soroo soroo sosoroo.

Soroo soroo so— Oh my gosh!

Please save me! Please help me!

- Wha... - Please help me!

- Please help me! - That scared me...

Please hide me! Please!

What the heck? What is this?

Why are you doing this to me?

Since it's with you, I will drink more tonight!

Please take this drink.

I'm thankful for this.

Even the deathly cold air becomes a warm breeze

as soon as it meets Nan Jung's beauty.

Let me formally introduce you.

This is Officer Ji, who works at the prison.

The name's Chun Deuk. Chun Deuk.

- My name is Mae Hyang. - Oh, Mae Hyang!

- My name is Song Nim. - Oh, Song Nim!

- I am So Hyang. - Aigoo, So Hyang!

Thanks to Nan Jung, I'm able to meet such beautiful women!

Thank you.

I am indebted to him from my stay at the prison, so you must take good care of him.

Yes. Let me pour you a glass of wine.

Oh! Thank you.

Wow...

The alcohol tastes different!

The food... The table is so big!

There are two chickens!

- But why is the chicken so big? - It's duck.

Duck!

Over there.

- What are you saying?! I caught this! - You stay out of this!

Please save me! Please save me!

What's wrong?

What's the matter? What's wrong?

Save me! Please save me!

I'll save you so calm down and tell me.

Someone is chasing me.

Please hide me! Please hide me!

- Hide her. - Yes, sir.

Why are you bothering a pregnant woman this late at night?

Move.

Move?

Mo...

Hyungnim.

Wow, Sosoroo... Sosoroo is really great.

My, my.

If they were going to treat me like this, they should have allowed me to sleep with one of the gisaengs while they were at it.

All they did was send me away after giving me drinks.

Ah, please save me.

Wh-Wh-Who are you?

Please save me! Please!

What are you?

Why do you keep telling me to save you?

Please save me...

Y-You're bleeding!

Please help me out. Please save me!

This is driving me crazy!

Look here! Look here! What's wrong?

Look here! Look here! Wake up!

Look here! Look here!

Hey! Open up! Open up!

Hurry!

Slowly, slowly. Aigoo!

Slowly, slowly.

- Who is she exactly? - I don't know!

She was collapsed in front of the prison doors.

Oh, my god! Blood!

I think she got stabbed.

Then you should have taken her to the police.

Why did you bring her here?

You idiot! She's about to die any moment. Where can I take her in this state?

Go get the doctor.

- What are you doing? Quickly! - Yes.

Hyungnim, look over here.

I think her water broke. The baby's about to come!

I think the baby is coming soon! What do we do?

What do we do about this?

What do we do?

This is a huge problem, seriously!

Gye Ddong's mom! Gye Ddong's mom!

- What's the matter? - Quickly come here! Quickly!

- Why? - Just...

What's so loud?

Oh, sleep. It's okay.

Ah, quickly! Quickly come!

You have experience with delivering a baby, right? Hurry.

The baby is about to come. Use your strength...

Oh, my god. Blood. It's blood!

- I already know that! Just hurry up and deliver the baby! - Ah, you're crazy! Seriously!

Hurry up and deliver the baby!

Ah! Get some warm water!

- Get out immediately! Men can't be in here for a delivery! - Oh, okay.

- Go. Okay. - Get out.

Aigoo.

Yoon Won Hyung

This way, sir.

What happened?

I'm asking you what happened!

Forgive me. We lost her.

What?

Come closer.

Who am I?

Tell me.

- You're Yoon Won Hyung. - And?

And?

You are the Queen's younger brother, and the King's brother-in-law.

And?

As you said, if I am the Queen's younger brother and the King's brother-in-law,

do you understand the depth of my authority?

People say that my name can even drop a bird from the sky,

stop a crying baby from crying, and shake the mountain earth.

I won't be satisfied if I can't get the best, whether it be power or wealth.

- Understand? - Yes!

But look at you guys. You can't even catch a mere girl.

How can you apologize so easily like that?

You, who are supposed to be my men!

How can you say such things?

- Please kill me. - Of course, I have to kill you.

Since you've disgraced my name,

you must die even if you don't want to.

If you can't grab the girl and bring her before me,

you will all die.

Let's go eat something delicious.

- What do we do? - Just shut up, you brat.

Just a little more! Just push a little more!

Oh my...

- The baby is out! - Yeah, alright!

The baby is out. The baby is delivered!

Why did you have to make such a fuss?

Oh, aigoo. That must've been hard.

You did it! You did it!

It's a girl.

Oh, I see. How's the mother? How is she?

What? What's wrong?

She died.

What?

Really, what do we do?

Look here.

Aigoo, look here.

She did die.

Aigoo, how can this...

Aigoo, Miss. Please wake up.

- How could you leave that newborn behind? - Oh dear...

What do we do about the baby?

Aigoo, Miss. Please open your eyes.

Aigoo, what do we do?

Look here. Please look here.

This man is crazy.

Why did you have to bring her in to cause this mess?

She was near death. What could I do?

All I thought was that I had to save her.

Did you say she was stabbed?

Yes, she definitely got stabbed by a blade!

We have to go to the police station right away! Shouldn't we report it?

Are you nuts? Reporting it will make it worse!

Moreover, the deputy is visiting the city today.

If the truth gets out, we're all done for!

I see. I see.

Aigoo. Oh my. What are you doing?!

Hurry and get rid of her corpse at the public cemetery!

Also, shut the mouth of the people who are aware of this incident.

Even if we have to get rid of the dead body, what about the baby that's alive?

We can't let the baby just die.

You frustrating fool!

If someone stabbed her to death,

there's probably a scary reason for why it happened!

Later on, that child could become a big misfortune!

Yes, yes...

But, sir...

Keep your mouth shut. We have to bury this matter.

That's how both you and I can live.

You just have to abandon the baby somewhere.

- Someone else will raise her. - Huh?

- Get rid of her! - Yes...

- Get rid of her, I tell you! - Yes.

- Is it ready? - Yes.

Take care of it without making it obvious.

Please do not worry.

- Take this. - What is this?

It was the deceased woman's pouch.

Looks like it's filled with things she valued.

Do you want me to sell it?

You jerk, this is the last thing we can give to the baby to remind her of her mother.

Why would you sell this?

- Get going. - Yes, sir.

If someone stabbed her to death,

there's probably a scary reason for why it happened!

Later on, that child could become a big misfortune!

Hey.

- Don't you know who I am? - I do.

You know?

Hey, if you know it, why do you act like this?

Should I guess what you're thinking right now?

"He's acting mighty just because he's His Majesty's brother-in-law." Right?

- No. - No?

Then why don't you watch your manners?

How dare look me in the eye with your head up?

Everyone listen to me carefully.

When you look at me with this kind of glare, full of cynicism,

you're not only disrespecting me,

but you're also disrespecting His Majesty and Her Majesty!

That means you have traitorous minds! Got it?

Traitorous minds!

Are you okay?

Why is there no one to stop his crazy attitude?

I don't know what's happening to this nation.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, the royal secretary has arrived.

- Let him enter. - Yes.

I came to congratulate you, Your Majesty. (Queen Munjeong)

What for?

The Crown Prince's condition got worse.

That means that Prince Kyung Won has a higher chance to be enthroned!

Soon enough, you'll be the ruler of this country!

Hey! You're so obvious.

So? There's only us in this room.

A lot of people are eavesdropping in this palace. Behave!

Why do you worry about them?

I'll step on them and destroy them!

What about that child?

She should be dead by now. Don't worry.

Child, this is your fate and part of your life,

so don't resent me.

Hyungnim!

How did the inspection go? Nothing happened?

Yes.

- Did you take care of it well? - Yes.

How about you?

I came back from abandoning the baby.

Bring some alcohol.

Yes.

Hyungnim.

We won't be punished, will we?

I keep on thinking about that newborn.

Seriously, I feel so bad but you keep on making this worse!

By the way, the Chief is going to the Market Department.

- Market Department? - Exactly.

- Wouldn't it be a better position if he went to the Minister of Finance? - Of course, it would!

It is the most important department in the Ministry of Finance!

He'll get so much more money there.

Aigoo. He was flattering them to get a better position.

Aish, I should go, too.

What is it?

Officers from the police station are here.

The police station?

Why are they here?

It's this person.

This person abandoned the baby.

Did you really abandon her by a stranger's house?

A-A-Abandoning a baby?

Why would I do that?

I lost my baby during work,

so I was looking for her all day.

It's true. My Hyungnim was so distressed.

Is the baby alright? Is she hurt anywhere?

Aigoo, child. Do you know

how distressed I've been because of you?

- Is it your child? - Sorry?

- Well, uhm... - Let me explain...

The baby's mother, who was imprisoned, died while giving birth. - Th-That's right.

No one will take care of her, so he decided to raise her.

What a difficult decision you've made.

Anyway, it's a relief that the child was found.

I'll provide you with clothes and diapers for your baby. Take good care of her.

What? Oh, yes...

Let's go.

What do we do now?

Since the head of the police now knows about it,

I have no choice but to raise her.

What if the chief finds out? Do you think he'd let you raise her?

You said he's going to the Market Department!

If this stays a secret between the both of us,

the next chief will not know.

We need to breastfeed her first.

How do we do that?

I'll figure it out myself. Move!

Look at her! She's not a normal baby.

She'll become so tough she'll survive in a hostile environment!

Seeing how well she held up in this cold weather, I think the same.

But what's her name?

Her name?

I don't know. I haven't thought about that.

My god, even if she's going to grow up in prison, she has to have a name.

Well, since she was born in a prison...

Yes, we'll call her Ok Nyeo. (Ok: Prison. Nyeo: Girl)

Ok Nyeo?

Aigoo! Cutie, your name is Ok Nyeo!

- Ok Nyeo! - Ok Nyeo...

She's so cute.

- Hi there, Ok Nyeo. - Ok Nyeo!

15 years later (March 1555)

- Aigoo... - Ok Nyeo!

You brought a lot!

Ok Nyeo, bring that here!

Ok Nyeo! This rotten girl!

I'm going crazy, really!

Move!

- Sorry, I'm late! - What the heck were you doing?!

- I'm sorry! - Hurry! Wash the rice!

Yes, ma'am.

Yoo Geum!

Yes, ma'am?

Tell me when dinner's ready!

Yes, ma'am...

- Wash it thoroughly! - Yes, ma'am.

Are you okay? Why is she making a fuss again?

- Geez... - Are you really okay?

- I'm okay. - Really?

I'll help you.

Ok Nyeo, when you pickpocket,

you have to choose someone to steal from and...

distract them just like this.

Watch your brother carefully.

Here, you hide...

Got it? Your turn, Ok Nyeo.

Switch, switch.

No way can she do it in one go.

No need to even watch.

Is she a genius? How did she do that?

Switch, switch!

This shouldn't happen in one go! Do it again.

This doesn't make sense...

Hey! What are you doing!?

Good for you. Good going. Are you so bored that you're learning how to be a criminal?

Stop with your useless acts and get lost!

You! I told you not to hang out with prisoners.

- Do you want to die? - I won't do it again.

Anyway, the officer is looking for Treasurer Ji. Go get him.

Yes, ma'am.

Get lost! Go!

Eight hand!

Eight hand!

Eight hand! I'll get all the money then!

Aigoo, pardon me, but what to do? I have a nine hand!

Hey, hey, hey!

Did you guys cheat?

How do you always win by one point?

What are talking about? If you feel that wronged, report it to the police.

Well said!

Ahjussi, the officer is looking for you!

Why?

I don't know either. It seems urgent, so hurry up and go.

W-What? I-Is that the truth?

- Look here, Officer Yoo! - Seriously.

I told you, the new chief is Jung Dae Shik, from the Royal Transport Department.

Are you saying that our new chief is Jung Dae Shik?

That's what I said! Why? Is it someone you know? (Yoo Jong Hwe)

Yes. He was my superior back when I worked at the Royal Transport Department.

Before getting this job, I've never worked with someone as bad as him.

He's worse than the Grim Reaper.

Aigoo, aigoo. This is a big trouble.

We're all done for!

- This is trouble, indeed. Everyone, keep your guard up! - Yes, sir.

He is a man who doesn't show any pity.

- By the way, Chun Deuk. - Yes?

You, especially, need to prepare thoroughly.

P-Prepare for what?

This fool... What do you think he's going to do when he arrives?

He looks at the assets!

Since you're the treasurer, make everything flawless

if you don't want to end up as a prisoner.

If you want to have luck with money,

you have to understand someone's gaze.

If the pupil is small and defined,

and the stronger the gaze, the more wealth it shows. (Lee Ji Ham)

Then what about my gaze?

From all the face reading I've done, yours seems to show the most wealth.

Then I'll become rich?

Good eyes don't guarantee wealth.

If you want to be rich,

you should never lose the money in your hands.

That's such an obvious thing to say!

Everything in this world is obvious.

The truth is obvious but we can never stay dedicated to it.

That's how humans are.

End of today's lesson.

- Teacher! - What is it?

Credits

Something's up, right?

Tell me.

- It's because of money, right? - Yeah...

Hey! How did you know?

What else could you be thinking about? It's obvious.

How much do you need?

- It's quite a lot. - How much?

- 500 yang. - What?

You already know that there's a new chief, right?

As soon as he arrives, he's going to check the assets, but...

I used some of it.

You used it to gamble?

I need to pay it back before his arrival.

No matter how much I rack my brain about it, there's no way.

I'm going to be arrested because I gambled using public funds.

I'll stay here but as a prisoner.

That means that the inmates, who once respected me,

will keep on pinching and hitting me.

Ok Nyeo, what do I do?

What's with your outfit?

Pay attention to your outfit!

Look at all of you! (Jung Dae Shik)

You are guards but you're not disciplined!

You think you can handle prisoners?

Once this inspection ends,

fix everything that needs to be fixed!

What is this place? It's a place where we punish criminals,

but the criminals are like they're at home here.

Since I'm the new chief,

this prison will become the most ruthless

and scariest place in this town!

Got it? I won't let any mistakes slide,

from both the officers and inmates.

Not even from the guards!

- Understood? - Yes, sir!

From now on, I will check every centimeter of this prison.

Carry on. Carry on.

- Is that a straw mat? - It is.

- They need to focus. Don't perturb them. - Yes.

Do you want to see?

- It's great quality. - No need.

Let's go.

We receive 20 bags of barley once a month

and 10 of millet.

- Who is the treasurer? - It's me.

I will go check the assets now, so prepare for it.

If I see anything wrong,

- you'll lose your position and go to the police station! - Yes, I understand.

Put aside 5 bags of barley and 2 of millet.

Pardon?

It's almost New Year's. We should gift some to our superiors.

Uhm, the prisoners already feel that

the food is not even fit for a pig or a dog to eat.

If you take this away,

- it would get worse. - Geez, you're still the same.

You don't think enough. This is why you're still here.

Why do you care about them? You should think first!

Sir, I'll handle the ones who complain,

- so don't you worry. - Oh, really?

Then you take care of the food from now on.

- Let's go. - But...

In the kitchen, under the supervision of wardens,

female prisoners are taking turns in doing work.

What is she?

- She is someone who works as a damo (does special tasks, helps with investigations) in prison. - A damo?

How is this young girl working as a damo? How old is she?

She's 15-years old.

Who uses a fifteen year old as a damo!?

W-Well, it's due to her circumstance.

- What circumstance? - She was born in the prison.

Her mom was a criminal and she died right after giving birth.

Since she had nowhere to go, she was brought up in prison.

- She's young but earns her keep. - Shut up!

Is the prison a place to shelter kids who have nowhere to go? Kick her out immediately!

Lord, if this kid leaves the prison, she really has nowhere else to go.

- Let her stay, please. - Geez, what nonsense is that?

Should I care about this? It has nothing to do with me.

That's her destiny! What should I do about it?

Sir, give us some time to find her a place to stay.

You have 10 days. She has to leave in 10 days.

Oh! Be careful!

I'm sorry because I can't do anything for you.

Don't worry about me. Just worry about yourself.

Ok Nyeo, I heard that you're leaving prison.

Yes.

Hyungnim, she's getting kicked out! Why are you sitting here, not even helping her!

I'm already so mad but you're making it worse!

Get lost! Get lost!

Ah... He lost his money in a gambling den. Now he's taking his anger out on me.

- How do you know it? - People at the gambling den talk a lot.

Can you help me?

With?

Okay, I'll look into it, you'll wrap up the plan.

Hey!

Seong Man, you know that aristocrat who just got imprisoned?

Yes.

Yes, I understand.

Ah, this jerk. Make sure that he falls in the trap, okay?

Yes, sir.

You all, for the time being,

make sure to take care of Ok Nyeo. She gave you so much.

Yes, sir.

Hey, come here.

Elder, you'll get flogged about a hundred times.

Look at this daring girl!

What did I do to deserve being flogged a hundred times?

Elder, you committed adultery.

Adultery? What does that mean?

He had a concubine even though he was married to a perfectly healthy wife.

Hey, am I the only one who had a concubine?

If this is a sin, we should all be beaten up!

That's true but the national law says that all men that abandon their wives and get a concubine

should be flogged a hundred times.

Hey, that law is there only for appearance's sake!

So it looks like I won't have to worry about getting flogged.

No, you committed one more crime: the date when you met your concubine.

What? A date? What?

You got a concubine during the period of mourning.

You are not allowed to do this while in mourning. You can't even attend a wedding ceremony on those days.

According to Joseon law, if you have committed two sins, you're charged for the heavier crime.

So, Elder, you will be punished for your second crime.

The crime of being an unfilial son who got married during the period of mourning.

- You brat! How dare you threaten me?! - The matter of being unfilial

is emphasized by the codes during the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.

It's a serious crime that cannot be forgiven or its punishment reduced.

The codes state that anyone who gets married

during the period of mourning will be flogged a hundred times.

Moreover, the law during the Ming Dynasty states the same thing.

It is considered to be an unfilial behavior.

What is she saying?

I'll eat my hat if she's wrong.

She was born and raised in this prison.

She never said something that turned out to be wrong.

He's right, Elder! Every inmate of this prison knows who she is!

That's right! We all know her!

How can that be?

By chance, have you seen anyone get flogged a hundred times?

Of course. No one survives this punishment!

It might not sound that bad, but being flogged a hundred times is no different that being beheaded.

What should I do then?

- Can't I get a reduced punishment? - You can.

If you're willing to spend a tad bit of money, you could save your life, Elder.

I'll find someone to be flogged in your place.

Then, I'll prepare the money.

But make sure to find someone to be punished in my stead!

- Yes, trust me. - I'm asking you!

Yes, sir.

(Jun Woo Chi - a con man)

How did it go?

He turned blue at the mention of 100 lashings.

It might be possible to get 200 nyangs from him.

But will he really receive 100 lashings?

According to the law, yes. However, he might be able to get off without any punishment.

What do you mean by that?

He is an offspring of a man who contributed to the country with an accomplishment.

There are 8 conditions to not receive punishment. One of them is not seeking punishment from a man or offspring of someone who has contributed to the country with a deed.

So it is possible he could get off without any punishment.

You are my best pupil, indeed.

If I teach you one thing, you see through ten things.

Ok Nyeo...

What kind of crime did he commit for them to keep such a tight leash on him?

He is the leader of Daeduk Mountain bandits.

He will be beheaded in front of Goongisi in 5 days. (Goongisi: Government branch that produced arms in Joseon era)

- Beheaded? - Yes.

Take him away.

Even though he is a vicious criminal who has murdered tons of people,

from the looks of him, you wouldn't be able to tell.

What happened to the leader of bandits who was transferred from the Police Station?

He's in the solitary cell.

They say he's a really vicious bastard.

Please be on guard until the day of his beheading.

He shouldn't come into contact with other criminals.

Be assured.

My Lord!

- Urgent news. - What's going on?

We received a message from Lord Yoon Won Hyung.

Lord Yoon Won Hyung? What's it about?

Lord Yoon is visiting the prison.

What? What do you mean?

What brings him here?

Well, I don't know the reason, either.

Can you guess what this may be about?

I don't know.

Geez, what will bring him all the way here?

Soon, there will be a visitor from the court.

He's of a high rank!

And he is visiting this prison!

By any chance,

if one of you say useless nonsense in front of him,

I will surely severely punish that punk!

All of you,

are imprisoned, according to the rule of law,

without any problems!

So, you have absolutely no problem eating or sleeping!

- Understood? -Yes! - My Lord!

Prison life here is full of discomfort and how can you tell us to say it isn't so?

Food served is not even fit for a dog or a pig!

Half of the prisoners have skin diseases

and are in pain all night long!

Come here!

Right now!

Why does he say useless things like that?

My Lord!

You shouldn't hit him like that.

- Ah! - What are you doing?

Stay still!

Drag him away!

- No! - Hey, hey!

Did everyone see that? Did everyone see?

If you're not careful with your tongue,

you will get worse punishment than this.

Understood?

Dismissed!

Please be calm. Be calm.

I am Jung Dae Shik, the warden of this prison.

What brings you to this humble place, Sir?

You're working hard.

- Have we seen each other before? - Ah, yes.

During your birthday celebration, I sent you my greetings with a nod.

It's an honor to see you again.

- Is the prison doing well? - Sir?

Yes, my lord. Please come this way.

This is the barley tea that Ming Dynasty's Imperial Household has been said to drink.

I don't know if it'll suit your taste.

The prison chief has provided me with tea from Ming Dynasty's Imperial Household.

You must be getting paid pretty well.

But then again, it's been known that the chief

takes freely from all prisoners.

That is not true, sir. There is nothing like that going on here.

It's obvious! It's a skill to get some of your share, don't you think?

I-I have never done such a thing. I swear!

If I've done anything illegal, I will give you my neck!

Ah, this person. I was joking, but you're betting your life on it!

I didn't come here to speak about your illegal activities, so don't worry.

Among the prisoners here,

- is there someone by the name of Lee Ji Ham? - Pardon?

- Lee Ji Ham. - Well...

Ah, yes, there is such a person.

I would like to meet with him, so bring him here.

Why did it have to be that guy of all people?

What reason could there be for him to want to meet Lee Ji Ham?

I'm not sure. I can't think of a reason.

If he says something rash,

I'm done!

- Did you call for me? - Where's Lee Ji Ham right now?

- He's in a solitary cell. - Then how is his condition?

He has bruises all over his body.

So I told the doctor to prescribe him some medicine.

What do we do? If we bring him by now...

- Wouldn't it be better to say that he died? - No, sir!

That could bring about more misfortune! Please calm yourself.

What do we do?

What can we do?

He's here.

- You are Lee Ji Ham? - Yes, sir.

I'm Yoon Won Hyung.

- You know who I am, right? - Of course, I do.

Huh?

But, what's wrong with your face?

I misspoke a bit, so...

I got punished.

You're an interesting fellow, just as I heard.

But why did you ask to see me?

From what I heard,

you're quite skilled at telling people's fate and fortune.

Why don't you tell me what my fortune is?

I don't know where you heard that, but I don't have such skills.

Then what? I came here for no reason, based on false rumors?

Hey! I'm Yoon Won Hyung!

Right now, with just one word from me,

you can be let out of prison!

Stop refusing and tell me.

I don't have that skill,

but I can introduce you to someone who can tell your fortune with just one look.

Who is that?

Oh, Ok Nyeo. Come here.

Hurry up and come here.

Give your greetings. This is Lord Yoon Won Hyung.

It's this child.

What do you think you're doing?!

Do you have a death wish?!

Hey,

the fact that you go around doing strange things,

I'm aware of it already since I've heard about it.

But, you should watch who you do strange things to!

I'm Yoon Won Hyung!

Even if I behead you right now,

no one would dare say anything to me!

Even if you behead me,

how about trusting me just this once?

- Preview - That little girl has quite the skill.

Why is it that she's here in prison?

Being born in prison was the start of your strange fate.

If you listen to me, I will do whatever you wish.

That man died because he was stabbed.

It wasn't your imagination?

My father is Lord Yoon Won Hyung!

He's a new inmate.

I am dying to cry, so please just leave me alone.

Your final day will come!

I heard that you'll get me whatever I need if I give you money. There's someone I really want to kill.

I don't need the money. I have another request instead.
