[Episode 5]

The wanted poster for the third murder is up.

Gosh, Master!

Geez, how could you rip this off?

Aigoo.

Do not be in shock.

You're the only one to get shocked by Myung Jin doing this in this neighborhood.

Gosh, why did he pet my head...

What are you doing not following behind me?

Did you just give me a stink eye so cutely?

I did not!

How could you call a man cute! Do not say such things.

I will say you're cute because you are. What else would I say?

Then shall I...

say you have no ears*? (Phrase sounds similar to 'cute')

Geez! Gosh!

Why would you say such a corny dad joke!

So boring.

Gosh, so cute.

Is anyone home?

Aigoo. You got upset because of that?

When I came, it was broken.

- Oh, Eunuch Go! - When did you arrive?

I called from the yard, but there was no reply,

so I came in thinking you may be inside.

I was curious before, but I never got to ask you.

Why do you think that criminal

is the detective instead of her orabeoni?

The first case that Min Yoon Jae supposedly solved five years ago...

There was no way Min Yoon Jae could have solved it.

He had passed the humanities exam and was serving as an editor in the Dept. of Archives.

So how could he have solved a case in Gaeseong?

Thus, the following cases were also not solved by Min Yoon Jae.

My wish is to meet Maiden Min Jae Yi

and solve all sorts of cases throughout the land.

They say she died!

- Please give up on your obsession! - She definitely did not die.

I can guarantee you that she is somewhere alive.

- She is absolutely dead. - She is absolutely not dead.

- Seriously, why are you being like this? - Why are you being like this?

I...

may not be the maiden you are in love with,

but I can fulfill your desire to investigate cases together.

I know why you visited me, Eunuch Go.

Geez...

Look at this. He took down wanted posters again!

You will end up in big trouble like this!

If your wish is to go to jail, I will escort you there, so let us go.

Was it a wanted poster for the Sabangahn case?

I heard that the Sergeant called the three murders the Sabangahn case.

The Sergeant believes that there will be a fourth murder.

I also think that as well.

- My thoughts are likewise. - According to the lucky dates,

the fourth murder will take place in four days.

Before that, we need to reinvestigate the second victim's body

to see if any letter has been carved on it and prevent crime.

Are you not the best in this field in Joseon?

Gosh, I know exactly what you're thinking.

You are saying you need that, right?

You are right. I need that.

- What is that? - Well, we will need to prepare.

You probably know this already.

I will put my faith in you, Young Master.

What are you trying to do?

We will...

- dig up a grave. - Excuse me?

That is digging up a grave?

What will you do after digging up a grave?

- We need to take out the dead body. - Listen to you!

I am so happy that I have met someone who speaks my language!

I-I cannot do this.

Sir.

As you have commanded, I looked through the census for the East side

I gathered a list of the seniors who are in a similar age group as the victims.

- Did you notify the Left Police Bureau? - Yes.

The soldiers will soon join us, and we will start the patrols.

All right.

The young master of Manyeondang already predicted that I would come.

- How was he? - He doesn't stand out visibly,

but he seemed to be an extraordinary genius.

His new student is also pretty useful.

He appeared to be quick to act and quick to pick up on things.

Have you ever seen the young master, Your Highness?

I recognized his talent from just hearing stories about him.

He seemed reliable, so I sent him the arrow that I was hit by through Tae Kang a year ago.

He recognized that it was from me with just one look.

We will dig up and perform the autopsy of the second victim's body tomorrow around sunset.

I will send one more person there tomorrow.

One more person?

Who is he?

How shall I describe him

in a way that does him justice?

Scholar Park of Namsan Village?

The sun will be setting soon, so why is he still not here?

What kind of man did he say he was?

You will know as soon as you see him.

Since he stands out wherever he goes.

He's tall and...

so handsome that people will turn to get a second glimpse.

He said that his face was radiant.

Why do we need someone handsome to dig up and perform an autopsy?

I also hate scholars who do not do any work trusting their good looks.

Did he not talk of any strengths?

He is capable in both academics and military arts as he is handsome.

He excels in everything he does.

He is the top talent in Joseon.

Shall I say that he is the most perfect man under heaven?

He said he would be of big help to the investigation.

He must be an amazing person.

I mean, how amazing is he

that he is not here when it's way past our meeting time?

Is it by chance that person...

- He has to be Scholar Park. - He is definitely Scholar Park.

His face really is radiant...

I can see he is Scholar Park even from far away.

I can tell he is Scholar Park even with my eyes closed!

It is nice to meet you, Scholar Park.

I am Kim Myung Jin, the owner of Manyeondang, where I research all of creation.

I have heard much about you.

Did stories about me spread all the way to Namsan Village?

Gosh, what shall I do about my increasing fame!

By chance,

is there...

anyone else with you?

- Did you really come by yourself? - Gosh, Eunuch Go!

You can tell at a glance that he is Scholar Park.

Yeah. He looks exactly like how His Highness described him.

I am Master Myung Jin's...

- student. - It is nice to meet you.

Then you must be Eunuch Go Soon Dol of the Eastern Palace.

It is nice to meet you, Eunuch Go.

I am Scholar Park of Namsan Village.

Oh. I see.

I am Eunuch Go Soon Dol.

[Eunuch Go Soon Dol of the Eastern Palace is a fifth-degree soldier that the Crown Prince brought in from the military training hunt.

[He is not a eunuch.]

What do you mean His Highness is not here?

We just heard that he did not attend today's royal lecture, either.

He said that he was reading in the library.

Once he goes into the library, he usually locks the door and stays up all night,

so he commanded us not to follow him.

Is Eunuch Go not here as well?

He went to the library escorting His Highness...

His Highness took him, saying he needed him for the Sabangahn case.

He seems to be pretty concerned because of that case,

so please take extra care.

How could we do otherwise, Your Highness.

So annoying!

Even the Queen knows Go Soon Dol?

You had no relatives and lived alone. We will resolve the injustice you feel

for your untimely death.

So be patient for just a bit longer.

What are you doing?

Start digging.

I poured the wine so we should start exhuming the body.

- Me? - Obviously.

Should the master dig up the grave when he has a student?

I mean...

Gosh, seriously!

The master I used to serve before was very different from you, Master!

Instead of making me do all the hard work as a student, he partook in everything with me.

I had a lot to learn from him.

If you serve ten masters, you will learn ten things.

Stop talking and use your energy to start digging.

Then, for the other shovel...

But...

how come you did not bring a servant or a student...

What, you do not have any?

Oh! You are going to do it yourself?

- Do it myself? - Yes!

Why do you look at me?

I have never handled anything like this.

This is not "this" but a shovel.

I know that! You think I do not know what a shovel is?

Are you saying you have never used a shovel before?

Quickly pick up a shovel and start digging.

There's no one else but you, Scholar Park.

I will have a lot of work to do after the body is exhumed.

And that person is from the palace.

He is an esteemed person who serves in close proximity to the

pride of our nation, the Crown Prince of Joseon.

Since this is our situation, the only one left is you, Scholar Park.

What does the person from the palace think?

His Highness described you, Scholar Park,

as a top talent who excels in everything he does,

so a bit of shoveling would be nothing to you. Is that not so?

Gosh, seriously. Here, here.

Scholar Park, Scholar Park. Hold the shovel. Hurry up and start digging.

Come on!

Geez.

Stick it in properly and put your back into it!

I am!

At the rate of Scholar Park,

it will take three months and ten days to just dig up the body.

Forget it.

It is better to die than get sick from frustration. I will just do it.

Wow, Eunuch Go.

I thought you were only good at deduction. You are also good at digging!

Aside from the unfortunate victims,

there is no one else who thinks this case is important more than me.

I will solve this case no matter what!

Exhuming the body for an autopsy?

Did they really go to dig up the second victim's body?

Someone saw them go with a few other detectives.

Bring my horse. I must go to the East side.

That's a relief.

Thanks to the cold temperature of the mountain, the body has not decayed as much.

He died from a stab wound in his chest.

There should be a letter on his body. Search carefully for it.

I do not see anything like a letter on his body...

There is no way...

- That is strange... - What is wrong?

He definitely would have died from the stab wound in his chest...

What do you mean by that?

For a stab wound received while still alive,

the flesh shrivels, and blood gathers around it, like this stab wound in his chest.

However, for a stab wound received after death,

blood does not gather around it, nor does the flesh shrivel up.

Since the blood does not gather around it, the wound also...

Like this stab wound here in his abdomen.

That means after he stabbed his victim, he waited until he died,

and then intentionally stabbed him again?

Is that not strange?

Even though he was already dead...

Why would he have done that?

Could you open up that hand?

I heard this case was quickly wrapped up as a robbery,

but they did not even investigate this properly!

- What was written on it? - Family.

The letter from the first case was Song.

The letter from the third case was Destruction.

If we put them in order...

Song Family Destruction.

The destruction of the Song family?

Does the culprit want the destruction of the Song family?

Who are the Song family?

I mean, what did they do wrong that he wants their destruction?

It could mean one person with the surname Song or the entire Song family.

What does this person have against the Song family

that he would kill three people to curse them?

However, there is no way to know which letter he will carve on his next murder victim.

Would the meaning of these three letters change based on the next letter?

Probably so.

The Joseon language requires one to listen to the end of a sentence.

Any idea what the next letter may be?

- Come on, Master! - Why would you accuse me!

We did not even figure out anything.

Are you out of your mind?

Why chide your stomach? It is only being honest.

It is about time for us to get hungry. We worked hard, too.

But there will be a curfew right now if we were to go into the city.

- Will it be okay? - I have a plan.

Do not worry.

Whoa...

Yes, I am coming.

Aigoo.

Eat plenty.

- I'm here! - Young Master! Young Master!

Aigoo, welcome, Young Master!

- Could you prepare a table for me? - Yes, of course!

Aigoo.

All right.

I heard the drum notifying the time.

Is it not curfew right now?

Have you not heard of the saying, braving the late-night curfew?

Conducting business at this hour is against national law.

How could you live keeping the national law all the time?

- You are so uptight. - You are brash, young one!

- The national law exists for you to keep! - You must've grown up in a well-off family.

I am merely the son of the Chief State Minister.

Goodness. How could the student be otherwise since the master is like this?

So what will you do?

Will you starve because of the national law?

All right, your soy sauce meat soup is here.

- It looks so good! - Young Master,

- please enjoy the food. - Thank you.

All right, those who will starve can starve...

I will eat.

It is so tasty!

You should try it.

It is something the people of Joseon eat fairly often.

Man, they are good.

There is no knife.

- How can I eat this- - He could not have done that unless

he had a deep affection for you.

What is deep affection?

Feelings of caring for and valuing someone.

Aigoo, I am so jealous of you, Scholar Park.

Give me some, too.

Yes.

You see this here?

This shows that he lacks deep affection for me.

You do not rip a piece of kimchi with your hands for just anyone.

This is all a demonstration of my feelings.

How is it?

It is good.

All right!

This is not just any drink.

This is shared affection of Joseon.

Aigoo, why would you go out of your way to do this?

Oh, was the method I told you last time effective?

The rats in the ceiling...

got really quiet!

- Thank you. - I will enjoy this.

If rats reappear in your ceiling, let me know.

Okay.

Thank you for the drink!

All right, all right! Let me pour you a drink.

- Aigoo, let me pour you a drink. - Yes.

Let me pour you a drink.

And Myung Jin, let me pour you a drink, too!

All right!

Okay!

- Hip hip... - Hooray...

Great...

What...

Am I supposed to do something?

What do you think would come after Hip hip, Hooray, Great?

What is it? Tell me, and I will do it.

Okay, then you start us out with Hip hip.

- Hip hip. - Hooray.

- Great! - Nice!

Did you actually drink alcohol instead of just clinking bowls?

You know how to drink alcohol?

Why couldn't I? It was meant to be drunk.

I mean, you...

- You are- - I am a eunuch.

A eunuch who likes alcohol.

Let me pour you a bowl!

Please pour me some as well.

All right, let us drink.

Nice!

Please drink plenty.

Whom did you learn to drink from?

I have never learned.

Does Joseon ever teach anything to women?

Oh, it does teach some things...

like sewing and housekeeping.

Are you saying that you drink so well when you have never learned?

All you need to do is pour the drink, lift the cup,

and empty it into your mouth in bliss!

Whom would I need to learn that from?

Have you not ever heard of drinking etiquette?

Even in drinking, there are manners-

What is the point of all that?

When you are drinking, it is more enjoyable

to just talk, play, laugh, and cry

without thinking about etiquette.

I learned by myself.

Although drinking is fun,

it is not everything in life.

Once you finish drinking,

the life you must live is waiting for you.

I see that the fourth murder has been constantly on your mind.

I am bothered by and curious about what that letter might be.

But how come you have the calendar memorized?

Is not the calendar the basics of agriculture?

How could I not read it when my people rely on it for their livelihood?

I also believe that the calendar is important,

but the way it differentiates between lucky and unlucky days seems superstitious.

If you do not know it well, I suppose you may think so.

However, when you study the calendar properly,

you will realize that it delves into the laws of nature and the lives of human beings.

The four phases of human life...

Although it did get used in an evil manner this time...

What are you doing-

They are the night patrol.

Do we really have to hide so pitifully like this?

If we get caught, we will receive 10 beatings!

Do you know how painful that is?

Do I need to know that?

Will I ever have to receive beatings?

You do not know about hide-and-seek, either, right?

I lived in the palace for a long time, so I do not know much about the world,

but how could I not know about hide-and-seek?

We are playing hide-and-seek. We cannot get caught.

Whoever gets caught first will get flicked in the forehead, okay?

Are you saying you will dare to hit the Crown Prince?

Then do not get caught.

W-Why would y-your heart race? My heart does not race.

My heart is racing so fast.

When I get scared, my heart races,

I really like it when my heart races.

Right now, it is racing really fast.

Gosh...

Master...

Come on, Master, please get up!

We have arrived at your home. You should not sleep here like this!

Do not bother me...

Do you want to get dragged away by the night patrol in front of your house?

Young Master, Young Master...

Myung Jin.

- Myung Jin, please just get up! - Gosh, let me be...

Geez, gosh...

Look here...

The youngest Young Master of this household is here.

Please, anyone, just come out!

Look here!

Be quiet!

My Lord is awake!

Did you bring our young master?

Young Master, Young Master!

What are you doing? Come and help me!

Young Master, Young Master!

On my back.

Aigoo, so heavy!

How do I put him on your back?

Aigoo, aigoo...

Aigoo, be careful.

His shoe! Gosh!

Is he drunk again?

How much did he drink that he is in that state!

He did not drink a lot, but just a little...

Whom are you supposed to be?

I am currently learning many things from Master.

How could you just watch while your master got to that state?

Sir...

Seriously.

I told you not to open the door for him if he comes home drunk.

Why did you bring him in?

Just let him be, Hyungnim.

Although he is pathetic, he is still part of our family.

If we leave him outside, it would only tarnish our family's honor.

- Hurry inside and lie him down. - Yes.

Just lock him in his room, so he cannot go outside ever again!

- Aigoo. - What now...

Aigoo. Your head...

They are all his family.

But how could they all call him pathetic?

Do you not know what kind of family this is?

One step below the King, above everyone else. The Chief State Minister's family.

His brothers are currently an officer at Royal Archives and a scholar at Sungkyunkwan University.

But the youngest son not only barely entered Sungkyunkwan,

but he got expelled.

They cannot be proud of him.

Please make sure to make hangover soup for my teacher.

Hangover soup, my foot. He would be lucky if he gets fed.

Do you know how scary My Lord is?

It is quiet right now because he went to bed early tonight.

Aigoo, I'm sure he would get beaten with a broom first thing in the morning.

Pardon?

Aigoo!

He is actually impressive once you get to know him.

Do you not feel uncomfortable running into Sergeant?

It would have been nice if we did not get to meet like this,

but there is no choice right now.

I do not think of it as a competition.

We are both just trying to prevent an innocent person from getting killed, and

arrest the brutal murderer.

I have a question I want to ask you as well.

What do you think of Sergeant?

It does not feel like you are just trying to judge my abilities.

It feels like you are trying to test his loyalty, too,

for some reason.

It is not like that.

I think highly of his abilities. His loyalty is also...

Could it be...

because of the ghost's letter?

"Boongja-baedo, Wooja-hyanggum, Nameuk-dangeon, Inyeo-jiwoo." (A phrase written in Chinese characters)

"Your friend will turn his back against you and aim his sword at you,

and many will be killed as a result of your foolishness."

Is that why...

you are keeping your distance from him?

Are you worried Sergeant will aim his sword at you

and are you afraid he will also

lose his life because of Your Highness?

A herald is already dead.

It is my fault.

He would have lived if I did not send him away.

Also...

Did you not blame me for your family's death as well?

I did not know you still kept that in mind.

I was afraid you cutting me off then.

That is why I said so.

It is not your fault, Your Highness.

Looks like he has not left the palace yet.

Do you not find the dates suspicious, Sergeant?

The reason why he took the risk by carving letters on the bodies

is his motive for these murders.

Go ahead inside.

Pardon?

What would I do in there?

He must be feeling badly because I made him compete against a eunuch.

Also,

he must have been feeling disarrayed because of you, his betrothed.

What could I possibly say to him?

Your Highness should go in and comfort him.

Your Highness must be worried about him, too.

Go ahead and cheer him up.

What...

Your Highness.

- Did you go out of the palace in disguise? - Yes.

Why are you still in the Ministry of Defense office at this hour, Sergeant?

Is it because of the Sabangahn serial murder case?

The thing is...

I was going to visit you at daybreak.

This is a compass, is it not?

This was found among the things the government official of the department of Taoism

sold at a market.

Why did you say that nothing was found that day then?

Does it belong to someone you know?

It must belong to your father, Left State Minister Han Joong Heon.

It was not my father's.

There are people who have the same compass-

Two years ago, when an ambassador from the Ming dynasty visited,

several people received this as a gift.

What should I do, Your Highness?

What should we do at this point?

Now that we know it does not belong to your father.

Are you asking me what to do after daring to lie to me?

The moment I found the compass, I wanted to run to you, Your Highness.

But you came to me and said something else.

I thought I should check since I am his son,

but even if it were my father's, I would have told you the truth.

I wonder if you really would have.

I wonder.

If the person who ordered to ruin the celebratory letter was your father,

what would have happened to you and your family?

Do you think I would have forgiven you? Is that not what you were worried about?

Your Highness and I...

were friends before we were

the crown prince and his servant.

If we were friends...

If I were your friend,

what should I be doing?

Could you not understand how distraught I must have felt

because it had to do with my father?

Even if I hesitated...

Even if that belonged to my father,

I would have been on Your Highness' side.

Do you really not believe that?

I...

Could it be because of the ghost's letter?

Are you worried Sergeant will aim his sword at you,

and are you afraid he will also lose his life because of Your Highness?

When I became the Crown Prince,

I decided not to have any friends.

But I will keep your promise in mind.

Even if this belonged to your father,

you said you would be on my side.

You must not forget that promise, either.

Who's there?

Sergeant, you were still here.

What is this about?

He broke the curfew and lurked around suspiciously in the Department of Defense.

Stop it right there!

You are...

Yes, sir. I am Eunuch Go.

I know this man.

Leave him here.

Did you accompany him, not Tae Kang?

There was a reason for it. I will get going now.

Hit me.

Whoever gets caught first is supposed to get flicked in the forehead.

I do not like games such as that.

I hope you do not regret this.

Six ministers and three state councilors from two years ago.

Someone among them...

Grand Prince always wants midnight snacks at the Queen's Palace.

I know.

He makes sure to get drinking snacks when he visits taverns, too.

He should put that much effort into his study, too.

Look at His Highness the Crown Prince.

He is gifted in both academics and military arts. So talented.

Did you see Grand Prince playing Jachigi recently?

How is he good at nothing?

The late Crown Prince Ui Hyeon was so scholarly, too, apparently.

Grand Prince Myeong Ahn was born prematurely.

He must be lacking two months of maturity since he was born too early.

Gosh, come on!

You bitches!

How dare you talk that way about His Highness?

Forgive us!

You bitches! How dare you!

How dare you make fun of the Grand Prince!

What is going on out there?

- Right State Councilor is... - Uncle?

Please forgive us...

You bitches! You still expect to live after that?

Please forgive us!

Uncle, what is going on? Please calm down.

Punish them and kick them out immediately!

Yes, I will punish them harshly as you wish.

They will have to stay away from the two of Their Highnesses!

Were you surprised, His Highness?

Uncle, why did you punish them so harshly?

They are court ladies, but they are barely over 13 or 14.

They need to be punished if it is necessary.

That way, the servants know how to respect us.

Your Highness, I always considered you as my grandson.

Yes.

I know that well.

I also do not think of my niece either. I think of you as my daughter.

I am always grateful for that.

I will not allow anyone to disgrace the two of you.

Do not be discouraged even if people make fun of you

for being behind in your studies.

Do you understand?

Yes, Grandfather.

It is getting late.

Court Lady Ahn, are you out there?

Yes, Your Highness.

Myeong Ahn, go to your room now.

- Court Lady Kwon, you can leave now. - Yes, His Excellency.

Uncle.

Did you punish those girls because

- they called Myeong Ahn- - No, no.

Do not worry about their low opinions.

I am worried it might upset you.

You two can just count on me.

I do not know how I could have put up with the palace without you.

Do not put up with it, Your Highness.

You must be at ease.

You have to be at ease at home.

This palace is your home.

It is not just Your Highness.

Grand Prince's children will be born here, eat here,

and sleep here.

When Grand Prince gets married, he needs to move out of the palace.

That will not be possible, Uncle.

If he moves out, I will remain alone.

That will not happen.

Your Highness.

There have been many crown princes since Joseon became a nation.

But not all of them were put on the throne.

They got murdered, stripped of their status, or died from diseases.

I wonder why there were so many flowers that could not bloom.

You saw it yourself, too.

Crown Prince Ui Hyeon died in vain.

Why can the same not happen to the current crown prince?

- Uncle. - Also...

what is more interesting is this country called Joseon.

Crown Prince's paternal family cannot get involved in politics, but the maternal family can.

Since you are in the Queen's Palace, Jo family of Seongju became royal.

And we became the top elite family of Joseon. So...

Myeong Ahn of the Jo family of Seongju should become

the crown prince and rise to the throne.

Your Highness, you must become the Queen Mother.

Uncle!

Become Royal Queen Dowager, and then the Grand Royal Queen Dowager.

Become the highest-ranking and most powerful woman in Joseon.

I will make sure to put you in that position.

Crown Prince...

will become deposed.

Why do you say something like that? No, Uncle.

I will pretend like I did not hear it. Please do not say that.

Do you not know how scary the palace can be?

If someone finds out, both Myeong Ahn and me...

It cannot be!

- I have heard you saying scary things before and- - Do not...

take my words lightly.

I never gave up on what I set my mind to.

Song. Ga. Myeol.

What could be the next character?

Geez!

No! Min Jae Yi, you can do it!

You can solve this!

There must be something I have not found yet.

This book is about people's difficulties in life.

I should be reading it as the Crown Prince.

If you study this book properly,

you will notice how it deals with nature's law and humans' birth, aging, disease, and death.

I have to read this calendar for the people of this country.

It's filled with birth, aging, disease, and death?

What does a prince, coddled at the palace, know anything about it?

Birth, aging, disease, and death.

Birth, aging, disease, and death.

Birth, aging, disease, and death!

He stabbed his chest, waited until he stopped breathing,

and stabbed again on purpose.

An unremarkable old man. "Ro" as in "old."

The man with diabetes. "Byeong" as in "disease."

He stabbed the man who stopped breathing.

He killed the man who was already dead! "Sa" as in "death."

If so, what is left is...

"Saeng" as in "Live."

Someone who is alive.

Someone who is about to be given life.

A child who is about to be born! A pregnant woman!

What is going on?

It is me. It is Eunuch Go. Is Eunuch So inside?

- Please let me go in for a moment- - You cannot.

Please! This is important!

What is this commotion about?

My apologies! This is an urgent matter!

He finally fell asleep in the evening after reading.

I shall dare not to wake him up.

Do you want to be beaten? Be gone right now!

If so, please make sure to let me know when he wakes up.

I figured out the secret of the serial murder case!

I will prevent another death no matter what!

You must tell him!

Sir! Sergeant, sir!

He is Eastern Palace's eunuch, Go Soon Dol. Is he not?

What is he doing here at this hour...

Sir! There is something I need to tell you!

I figured out the pattern of the murders!

It is just a eunuch's opinion.

Please do not worry about it.

This is about saving someone's life.

I will listen to it if he has something to say.

What is the pattern you found?

I knew you would listen to me.

I believed you would listen to even a lowly eunuch.

Tell me. We need to save someone if we can.

Leave the soldiers who left to the East side,

and make the rest of the soldiers ask the midwives on the West side

to locate pregnant women who are about to give birth.

- You must move as quickly as possible. - Yes, sir!

Notify the Right Police Bureau, too, and join them later.

I will go to the site immediately.

Yes, sir.

Let us go!

I will join them as well.

Capturing the culprit is completely different from solving the case.

You finished your job. Go back to the palace now.

I know that it is dangerous. But I will still go.

Please do not worry. I will never burden you.

Split into two groups.

One will follow the military officer, and the rest will follow me!

Yes, sir!

Do you know of a house with a pregnant woman who is due soon?

There should be one if you go that way.

Do you know where pregnant women live around here?

I am not so sure.

Is there a pregnant woman in this house?

No, not here.

What is going on?

- Surround this house! - Yes, sir!

We came to the far Western end of the capital, as you said,

but there is no guarantee that the murder will happen here.

All three cases that happened earlier

took place at the far end of the capital in each direction.

This is the most likely place.

Where did you learn that?

- Pardon? - Your ability to solve cases.

It does not appear to be a talent one would expect from a eunuch.

Same with how you can ride a horse.

I heard there was a pregnant woman who was due soon.

A little more!

It came out. Just a little more!

It is a boy!

It is a boy.

My goodness...

No!

What is the reason you are doing this?

I should kill him...

I should've killed him!

Answer me!

You are...

You are the head shaman of the Shamanist Bureau.

Why would the head shaman of the Shamanist Bureau...

Soon Dol!

Soon Dol, wake up!

Can you hear my voice?

Open your eyes!

Take her to the Investigation Bureau.

Can you recognize who I am?

Your Highness.

I saved someone's life.

But you got injured.

You should have been careful. How come you hurt yourself?

Do you know how shocked I was?

Neither my family...

nor the herald died because of you.

Thus, my injury is...

not your fault, either...

- Where did Tae Kang go? - Just let me be.

I will carry him myself.

Your Highness, let me piggyback him. Please give him to me.

Your Highness, why are you carrying him yourself?

- No, please let me- - Stop right there.

He works for the Eastern Palace.

He is someone I trust.

So the only person who can touch him is me.

His Highness does not trust even you, his dear friend.

When I became the Crown Prince, I decided not to have any friends.

- No, please give him to me! - Stop.

He is someone I trust.

He is someone I trust.

So the only person who can touch him is me.

♪ It was just for a moment ♪

♪ On the day we smiled together ♪

♪ I must've fallen like a leaf ♪

♪ You understand my heart as if it is sick ♪

♪ Because of that moment, I still... ♪

♪ Will you come back to be even after we grow apart? ♪

♪ Just like the wind ♪

[Our Blooming Youth]

This is not just a simple murder.

Does this have to do with my master's death?

We have to find the real culprit.

The only way to wash away the eternal sin...

is death only.

You must have been afraid.

He cannot be the real Go Soon Dol.

Are you saying no one knows?

I will be by Your Highness's side.

Was everything he told me a lie?
