Sir, what did you just say?

I said I'd get both get sulfur and spring our ally from jail.

Sir!

Yes, the king used me as bait.

But it doesn't matter.

I didn't come here for the king.

I came for sulfur.

So we'll get all the sulfur that we need for the weaponry bureau

and save the one who offered his life for us

and go back to Joseon with everyone.

How did it go?

It's the key to the magistrate jail.

We got it from a magistrate officer, so it must be the right one.

The envoys are leaving today, so most of the guards will be protecting them.

Naturally, there won't be as many to watch the jail or the sulfur.

That's the time.

Move precisely at noon

and take him out to the back gate somehow.

Then I'll take him to Joseon.

Even if I have to die... I'm going to bring Hwa Yi.

From a man to a man, make sure to keep that promise.

- Hey! Hey! - What is it?

Did the envoys from Joseon leave?

Did they leave?

Crazy bastard! Why do you care?

Hey, get ready to drag him out.

As soon as the envoys leave, you will be pierced to death!

We don't have much time.

When we get the signal, we have to get all the sulfur out in 15 minutes.

Do you understand? It has to be within 15 minutes.

Sir, please board.

- Are we leaving on time? - It will be moved up a little.

The weather isn't good, so we need to hurry.

There is a gift that hasn't arrived yet.

The ship's sailing soon. What are we supposed to do?

I know.

There are too many soldiers guarding the storage.

Just wait a little longer.

Please! I can't die here like this.

You have to wait until the soldiers move.

So when? When will that be?

Fire! Fire!

Fire!

Fire! There is a fire in the magistrate office!

Hurry up!

Guard the storage!

What's going on? Go outside and check! Now!

What? What's going on?

- Ja Gyung! - Hwa Yi! Are you all right?

What happened to you?

Let's go.

- He said he'd take you to Joseon. - What?

- Get the sulfur! Now! - Yes, sir!

Hurry! Hurry! Run faster!

What's going on?

There seems to be some trouble in the magistrate office.

- You said we'd leave right away. - But...

All the gifts haven't arrived yet.

Hurry up. Ready the ship immediately.

No sulfur can be visible. Do you understand?

Yes, sir!

Sir!

The ship will sail soon.

We can't be late.

What about our friend?

Fire! Fire!

No!

We have to send soldiers to bring him.

Sir! If we do that, we can't get sulfur on the ship.

We just need to get out of this gate. We're supposed to meet with him here.

Please! We have to go, sir!

No matter what happens, I have to go to Joseon. Understood?

So you have to survive and save me!

Sir!

We move the sulfur first.

We're not going to the jail!

Get sulfur on the ship first.

Who are you?

Ja Gyung...

Damn it...

Get them! You can't run away!

Open! Open!

He lied to me!

He used us to take the sulfur!

What?

Excuse me! Excuse me!

Excuse me.

This is the last gift.

You were one of them after all.

Hong Joo Won... You, too.

Get them! Get them!

- Pull up the anchors and push off! - Yes, sir!

Sir. We have to get on now.

Bring the nautical chart.

Pardon?

The chart of this area where the envoy ship will pass. Now!

You should go.

- If I just turn myself in... - You idiot!

How can I leave you behind?

Would you do that if you were me?

Yes, I would do that.

Because I have to live.

So you should leave too!

Yes, make sure to remember those words.

That you have live. Even if I die.

- They're over there! - Get them!

Let's go over there!

No, go to the dock. By yourself.

What?

The horn didn't sound to signal the ship's departure yet.

I'll block them here, so go by yourself.

Ja Gyung...

Blood...

Can't you hear me? Go to the dock right now!

Stop with your crazy nonsense!

I won't go alone.

Go. Survive!

You have something to do in Joseon.

Did you forget already... how you got through?

Ja Gyung...

Your younger brother... and everything you lost!

You have to pay them back!

That's why you survived like an animal!

And now you want to die here like a dog?

Jungmyung! Save me! Jungmyung!

- Where do you think you are! - You can't!

Yeongchang will have to pay for his crime.

Then die.

As a princess.

No, I won't die.

I will survive, even if I have to become an animal.

I will live, and get everything back.

So you have to go, Princess.

Ja Gyung...

Go! If you go ahead, I'll follow you to Joseon.

Don't you know? I'm Lee Ja Gyung.

No matter where you are, I'll find you.

Yes, you have to come!

Come and beat me up since I ran away, leaving you behind.

That's a given, punk.

Go!

- We have to catch them! - We can't miss them!

Stop there!

No.

Please... wait!

Stop right there!

No...

Please...

Please!

No...

Stop.

You were safe!

Are you all right? Did you get hurt anywhere?

I'm sorry.

Things went wrong...

Let me see. How badly were you hurt?

You bastard... why were you late? Why?

Why?

Do you know what I did?

Ja Gyung...

I left Ja Gyung behind...

I'm sorry...

that I came so late.

Make sure to wipe the inside, too.

[The Ming border area]

So heavy!

What's this? I didn't see this bundle before.

I don't know. Why is it so heavy?

- Open it up. - Yes.

Deer horns, pills, water buffalo horns...

These are items for smuggling.

What?

- Whose bag is this? - I'm not sure.

- It's not me, sir. - My stuff!

My stuff!

What do I do with this? Where can I hide this?

So this is yours? Are you smuggling stuff?

[Lee Young Boo] What? It's...

I've done sulfur trades, and it's no big deal.

So since I came this far, I wanted to have a little fun...

So did you go out last night for this?

Huh?

It's not necessarily because of this...

but these kids kept calling me on the way and asked me to buy them.

Oh, deer horns and water buffalo horns called to you?

I knew this would happen.

You were talking nonsense last night...

Please, help me!

Those Ming soldiers must've come to get me!

Because I was buying contraband!

What is it? What the heck are you doing?

Are you in charge?

Enough. I don't know your language.

This is Joseon, so use the Joseon language!

What?

Can't you understand?

Why did the border guards from Ming cross the border and come all the way here?

Sire! The wound on your body is getting worse.

We have to call the royal doctor.

Don't make a fuss. I said no royal doctors.

But at this rate...

Should I do it myself? Then will you close that mouth?

Sire!

This wound and what happened that night can't be known.

You must keep that in mind.

Sire, just where did you go that night?

What exactly happened...

Sire, this is Minister of Protocol.

Let him in.

Is that right?

There was a ruckus at the border area?

Yes.

Several soldiers of Ming died from a sudden attack...

so security in the area has been tightened.

What was the reason?

It must be the Later Jin Dynasty's doing

but according to them, there was a trace of Joseon people.

So they seem to have doubts about whether it's related to this visit.

As you know, Ming doesn't like that we're developing gunpowder in Joseon.

On top of that, you're along as well, sire.

So they're picking on us for no reason again.

I guess they don't get tired.

This isn't the first time that Ming misconstrues my words and actions.

Yes, that's right.

So you should take care of it again this time.

So that there will be no complaints later.

Yes, sire.

It should be no problem if I just fill them in.

All right, you may take your leave now.

Maybe I worked too much today. I'm a little tired.

Oh, and Minister of Protocol...

Yes.

No, no...

Should I call you Minister of Defense now?

Pardon? Minister of Defense, sire?

I gave my order before I came here

so when we go back to Hanyang, you will receive the letter of appointment.

Sire!

There is no power like military power for real influence under the king.

Isn't it time for you to have a grab at it?

Sire, your grace is immeasurable!

I won't forget your grace even after I am reduced to a skeleton.

I will serve Your Majesty with bone-grinding effort!

Sir, congratulations! Isn't this a big honor?

Why do you bother making a fuss? It's not like I became Prime Minister.

Top ministers are for old people.

Minister of Defense at your age

is the same as climbing a ladder to the top!

Even the weaponry bureau and the royal guards will piss themselves before me.

So you're right about that.

Should I learn to use the sword in a cool way?

So why did you bother worrying? What did I tell you?

His Majesty has no reason to keep you at a distance.

No...

Is it over just because the ribbon on the robe is untied?

How many underwear are still left?

What?

To me, there is a thing called 'sensation.'

What got me up this far is not my brain, but that.

So, what kind of sensation do you get?

- The back of my head feels cold. - What?

There is definitely something going on.

Just because he has a new title, he talks down to me!

By the way, I should hold a party when we go to Hanyang.

Lord Lee, I'll handle every detail!

Gwanghae is not the king?

'The current king... is not the owner of the throne.'

What is the problem?

This ship has stopped for no reason?

Don't you know what kind of ship this is?

Sir.

What's going on?

There seems to be a small problem.

We're looking for the reason why the ship has stopped.

In the sea, in the middle of the night? Is it not a big problem?

No. Rather, it's strange...

What's strange?

Hong Joo Won is nowhere to be found.

What?

I saw him arrive at the dock

but no matter how much I looked, I couldn't find him on this ship.

- Sir, something may have gone wrong... - It's a wooden nail.

The wooden nail that secures the rudder came out, that's why it didn't move.

Forgive me. It was sudden. You must've been surprised.

No, it's not your fault.

Since we found the cause, we should be able to leave soon.

By the way, I haven't seen you all day.

Where have you been?

I was reading in my cabin.

I see.

But... you look very suspicious.

I was checking to see if there was a problem in the lower part of the ship.

I see.

Don't work too hard.

If you get too involved in your subordinates' jobs

you'll lose face.

I'll keep that in mind.

What? You want me to break the rudder of the ship?

There is a vortex near Tokushima Prefecture.

So the envoy ship will go around this area.

But there will be fast currents instead of the vortex.

I will go through that and catch up with the ship.

Sir!

We should arrive by four in the morning

so stop the ship around then by breaking the rudder.

No, it could be dangerous!

I can't leave him to die.

I have to bring him with us.

Go! You have to survive!

You have to live... and have something to do in Joseon.

Your younger brother... and everything you lost!

You have to pay them back!

That's why you persevered like an animal.

But you'd end it here and die like a dog?

Don't you know? I'm Lee Ja Gyung!

No matter where you are, I'll find you.

Yes, Lee Ja Gyung. You have to stay alive.

If you don't, I will make sure to find you.

It's warm sake. Drink it and warm your body.

The blood must be running again.

I'm fine.

This is nothing.

You're giving me an illness and the medicine.

Anyway, thanks...

for saving me.

Change your clothes and move with this identification card.

I recorded you as a laborer who does chores.

When you go to Joseon, your family...

- If you have any, I will... - I don't.

No one.

I had a younger brother, but I lost him.

And my mother...

I probably can't meet her.

I see.

Then I'll look for a place for you to live as soon as we get back.

Then...

By the way...

Why didn't you come to the jail? I was waiting for you.

Was it because of sulfur, by any chance?

Because of that royal order?

I'm sorry.

To me... it was a priority.

That's what I thought.

I knew you'd do that.

You are a man of Joseon and its king.

Of course the royal order was the priority before someone like me.

- Look, it's... - Anyway, still...

you kept it this time.

The promise that you'd come find me.

Yes, that's why I'm thankful after all.

Thanks to you, I was able to live...

And... I will be able to step foot on Joseon again.

Get some rest.

And I'll never forget your kindness for helping the government of Joseon.

By the way...

about what you just said...

'This time'?

Have I made that promise before?

Have we met before?

Hong Joo Won...

Hong Joo Won.

My name is Hong Joo Won. I work at the weaponry bureau in Joseon.

Yes, you... Hong Joo Won.

I remembered you then.

I'll definitely find you.

I'll protect the grand prince and I will protect you.

That's what you said at the time.

You said you'd find me. You said you'd protect me.

The security of Joseon and its king depended on it!

It wasn't a business deal between street hooligans!

But you...

You showed up in front of me after becoming Gwanghae's man.

And now...

I'm on my way back, Mother.

To get my place back.

To get back everything I've lost.

We finally caught his tail.

Sire.

And Councilor Hong even picked up sulfur on top of that?

[Joseon]

What are you doing? Hurry up!

I told you to follow me close!

What if you get lost?

I'm not a little kid.

And I used to live here too.

You think I'd get lost?

That's right!

I'm sorry. I only thought of meeting you in Edo.

I forgot that you had lived in Hanyang.

You're just pretending to be smart!

By the way, where did you live before?

What?

If you lived in Hanyang... is it around here somewhere?

So, where I had lived... So...

Damn, how would I know the city outside of the palace?

Gwangtong Bridge!

- It's near Gwangtong Bridge. - Really? Gwangtong Bridge?

Yes, that's right.

Then you must feel overwhelmed.

This is the Gwangtong Bridge area.

What?

Here?

Why? Don't you recognize it?

Why wouldn't I?

Yes, now I see.

You're right. That linen store is the same.

The rice store is still the same.

I was a little nervous just now.

What? No, it can't be.

All the stores started as the street was repaired last year.

This whole area must've been a rice field in the past.

Right, my memory...

Yes, you're right.

All of this area was a rice field!

Everything changed.

- Take good care of him. - Yes, sir.

I have to go to the palace and do some work.

Get some rest.

Don't worry about me and do your work.

I need to go out and do some stuff.

What's that? You can't!

What if people find out that you came from Edo?

I told you not to go out alone until you have an identification card.

Still, I have work to do.

Still! I'll never allow it.

You obviously forgot your way around. So what are you going to do?

I understand.

I won't move a step from here.

Here, I swear.

Happy?

I'm sorry, but pledges are meant to be broken.

Here.

I don't really care for that pattern. Wouldn't you agree?

That should be enough. Are you rebuilding a mansion or something?

It's the ministry of defense!

It controls the military power of this country.

It should look good!

Don't obsess over that kind of emptiness.

That's always been your problem!

Did you come here to keep an eye on me?

What if I pull out a bamboo tree to pick my teeth?

What if I drank tea out of a urine bucket?

What?

Look here, Minister of Defense!

What are you saying to Prime Minister?

Goodness, I didn't say it to Prime Minister.

This man...

Minister of Defense!

What?

This hooligan!

I heard you were appointed as Minister of Defense...

This place is shining as I expected!

Goodness, when did you come to the city?

Today. As soon as I arrived, I came to see you.

Isn't he Gyosan Heo Gyoon?

One more face for me to avoid in this city.

Sire, Councilor Hong is here.

You're back, Councilor Hong!

I'm very glad to see you.

You must've worked so hard.

I'm curious how your first trip to a foreign country went.

I heard it was very exciting.

Now now, drink.

It's nice. What is this?

It's Hwagae Tea.

I heard the precious thing grows in crevices in rocks.

Crevices in rocks...

That spirit is similar to Councilor Hong's.

Tell the administrative office to bring some out.

I should give this tea as a reward to the one who is most suited for it.

You're still brazen.

A smirk in front of the king as if to show me up?

If you didn't come with sulfur...

your head would be hanging in the market.

I brought 20,000 geun of sulfur from Edo.

Based on the deal with Idachi

24,000 geun of sulfur will be supplied to the weaponry bureau every year.

Also, since all the rights to the negotiation were given to me

I promised him the exclusive rights to trade ginseng and salt.

So please consider this.

Well, I'll keep the promise when I need to.

But you must have something else you want to say.

'Were you not interested in sulfur from the beginning?'

'Was the weaponry bureau for appearance only?'

'Why did you use me? For what?'

Am I wrong?

No, I'm not curious.

What you have in mind, why you did it...

I only did my job.

I didn't follow the royal order.

Then, since you don't seem to have more words for me

I'll take my leave now.

Take the reward I'm giving you.

I just thought of it as bait I'd throw out

but I'm proud that you caught a big fish.

I should congratulate you for your accomplishment.

Even if it's not for the king

the heart that cares about this country is very special.

Forgive me, but I'm not qualified to receive that reward.

If you must know

I didn't do it only for the country.

I didn't want to lose.

What's that?

You didn't want to lose out... to me?

Against someone like me?

You dare to challenge the king?

Goodness, I like you more and more.

I will leave.

Since I like you, I'll let you in on one more thing.

Anger. Do you know why people live in such anger?

It's because of the feeling of pleasure from anger.

Fire that shoots up from inside.

It gets you excited for a moment.

You seem to have learned to cool off that anger.

So now, go a step further.

Try not to feel anything at all.

Do you understand?

If you something burning from inside you that needs to be accomplished

you just have to do what has to be done

Without doubts, skepticism... or hesitance.

Just do it.

Let's go. Go see His Majesty...

My office is the biggest and the coolest one in here.

You should come see it.

That office...

What's the use of having a big office?

Look at you...

Even if I was a hooligan, would I even compare to you?

What are you saying? You like me because I'm a hooligan.

That's true. We're alike.

Right...

That, that... that kid...

That little kid...

Did he not see me or did he not want to see me?

That young guy is Hong Joo Won, right?

He takes after his father when it comes to lacking manners.

I'm going to set him straight soon.

Interesting.

I wonder why His Majesty keeps such a young kid near him...

I see the dead Haneum in that face.

You were a little different today.

Yes, I got upset.

Right, I did.

He just reminded me of someone.

But now it's time to start the work, Gae Shi.

First, tell Gyosan to follow him and find the body of who's behind it.

By using the method that Gyosan is best at.

I'm so sorry about that. Are you all right?

- Let me see. - I'm fine. Please be on your way.

You can't be fine.

I have big bones, so just a bump could cause fracture...

Do Ha?

Yoon Do Ha?

You were alive!

How is it possible that I see you here?

Who may I ask...

Hey, don't you know me?

It's me!

Idiot, Heo Gyoon!

And since we have sulfur that we didn't expect

it's time to raise the stakes that we've been planning for a long time.

When do you think it should happen?

Tomorrow.

It's tomorrow.

Excuse me. Let me ask you a question.

Mother...

Queen Dowager?

Hey, do you want to die?

Who are you to ask about the queen dowager who was banished to Gyungwun Palace?

It's...

Can you tell me if you know anything? How is she doing these days?

If you know anything at all...

I don't know anything.

Even if I did know something, I don't know about it.

Not even an ant goes near it.

It just feels creepy, so I go around that area even when I come to do laundry.

Me too! My husband is a soldier.

I can't risk being charged for treason.

I wonder if she's even alive. I feel really bad for her.

Are you crazy?

Watch your words.

You must survive...

Make sure to save your younger brother...

and relieve my boiling resentment.

Lord Ohri and Ohsung?

The loyal retainers who stood by Mother are still around?

- Open it. - Yes, sir.

Get out! You're not my son!

Father!

You'll serve the current king?

You'll become a limb of that tyrant and work at the weaponry bureau?

The king may be wrong

but he is not wrong that we need our own power to protect this land, Father!

I don't regret my decision.

No, you will end up regretting it someday.

What's more important than someone's words and its meaning

are the choices he makes!

Yes, watch him from close by and see what kind of choices the king makes!

How he destroys this country!

Oh my, my Councilor Hong!

Fool! 'My Councilor Hong'?

'My Councilor Hong'? Just call him Lord Flower!

His silhouette is like a piece of art.

I wish I could just talk to him.

It would be nice if I had some excuse.

Crazy girl.

Right! Lord Flower!

- My lord... - Mom!

Someone came to look for you at the bureau earlier.

- Me? - Yes.

I told him that you weren't here, and he said he'd wait at your house.

He did?

Are you crazy? You should've told me...

Quiet!

Sir, we'll get back to work.

Let's go.

Just for a bit.

They may be able to help me and Mother.

Who is it?

And I wonder who you are?

Tell me. Who are you?

Who are you to be at Joo Won's house at this hour?

What's with that knife?

Let go of me! I'm a guest of this house!

Who are you to sneak into someone else's house?

A guest? You are?

You're Hong Joo Won's acquaintance that I don't know about?

I told you to let go of me!

In Woo!

What happened? What's going on?

What happened was.... this guy came out of nowhere...

In Woo, were you rude to him?

- This guy is... - Hong Joo Won!

Just what... is this situation?

I guess it's worth living a long life.

I didn't know you'd do this.

I heard such a good boy like you left home...

so I wondered what happened...

Was this it?

A hidden... woman?
