Episode 18

What is that sound?

Criminal Kim Eun Ho, come out at once and submit to the binding.

What is it? What's the matter?

What are you doing?

Let go of me.

Who the hell are you guys?

Are you... Miryang's Magistrate Kim Eun Ho?

Who are you?

This is Lord Park Moon Ho. The governor of Kyungsang Province.

The governor.

The governor?

What business does the governor have here...

which makes him show up out of the blue and cause such commotion?

Kim Eun Ho has used his position as....

the magistrate to devise a treasonous plan and incite a rebellion.

For these reasons, you will be put under arrest.

We are going to get to the bottom of your treachery.

- Arrest him now! - Yes.

Young master!

Also arrest Kim Eun Ho's servant...

for assisting the rebellion.

Yes.

Rebellion?

What are you talking about?

What treason?

A mere servant getting involved in a rebellion? Treason?

What do we do now?

Should we inform Excellency Choi about it?

You are not going to let go?

Let go of me.

What's rebellion? Is that someone's name?

Ah, you ignorant bastard.

Young master! What just happened here?

Rebellion? Treason?

Who framed you?

Unless you've been framed, how could this be possible?

It's Excellency Choi.

Are you sure about what you said in the letter you sent me?

Of course, I am.

That bastard has done things...

in the name of the royal command...

undermining the king's authority.

Everything I wrote in the letter is all true.

Why don't you run background checks on the guards working here?

But...

I feel a little uncomfortable...

since he is his Excellency Kim Eung Boo's son.

Are you sure there will be no repercussion?

Actually, this works out well.

While we are at it...

we should implicate them all in this charge and send them away.

Indeed...

you must have a deep grudge against Excellency Kim.

He is the one who pushed you out of power.

I'm not going to leave them alone.

I'm going to get rid of them all.

Welcome.

Why don't you sit down?

Why did you want see me?

What did Magistrate's mother want from you...

in return for letting you possess her body?

Why are you wondering about that?

What could possibly make her willingly give up her body?

What could possibly be more important than herself?

Are these what you are wondering about?

The magistrate's mother wanted revenge against Excellency Choi.

Then...

how come Excellency Chou is still alive?

She did not want Excellency Choi dead.

Then...

what did she want?

She wanted him to live the lifetime of humiliating servitude...

crawling under her feet.

Excellency Choi had always crawled under my feet anyway...

so I didn't have to do anything.

I just had to possess her body.

She couldn't possibly...

give up her body for that reason alone.

If it were you, what would make you willingly give up on yourself?

Tell me.

Something you desire enough to make you willingly give up on yourself...

I wonder what that is.

Is it taking revenge...

on the person who killed you?

If not that...

is it to protect the one who is most precious to you?

Tell me.

If it were you, what would make you willingly give up on yourself?

I...

Lady.

Please do not forget what I said the other day.

What you said?

No matter what...

You will not give up on yourself in order to gain something that you desire.

No matter what happens, you will not give up on yourself.

Promise me that one thing.

Why on earth are you with that woman?

Insolent girl.

She's not as easy as I thought she was going to be.

About the plan to kill the Magistrate...

Yes.

I will carry it out soon.

No.

Leave him alone for now.

Excuse me?

I changed my mind...

after I saw her today.

You'll never succeed in winning her heart...

I found out why today.

How are you doing in there?

Even your servant is in this mess...

so that means no one is taking care of you in there.

Should I put someone in to take care of you?

That's right. There was that girl.

That ghost girl.

What?

What the hell are you talking about?

Dol Sue, you stay out of this.

A ghost will be taking care of you...

It must make you feel very special.

But once you cross over to the other side...

what's going to happen to that ghost girl?

She can't even die...

so it's not like you two will ever be able to see each other on the other side.

Oh, that's right.

I heard you are Suh Joon Soo's grandson.

If you like...

I can tell you in detail...

how your grandfather was torn to pieces before your mother.

Do you want to hear it?

Arrogant bastard.

You won't be able to do anything.

Just like your foolish mother.

Excellency Choi!

What's going on?

Miss Arang!

Where have you been?

What's the matter? Did something happen?

Everything has been turned upside down.

The Magistrate was put in jail.

What?

He is in jail?

Why?

He's being accused of treason.

It's not just anything. It's treason. Treason.

Treason?

What treason?

All of sudden, what treason?

So Excellency Choi has...

Rebellion?

What is this suddenly out of the blue?

Treason?

If it's treason, they will be executed with no questions asked.

How can this be happening?

Magistrate.

Arang.

Miss.

What is happening?

Miss.

Dol Sue.

Bang Wool.

Why in the world is this happening?

Bang Wool.

Something might happen so stay at Bang Wool's place for now.

Magistrate.

Hurry up and go now.

If Excellency Choi find you here...

god only knows what he will do to you.

Bang Wool. You take Miss and go home now.

What are you doing here?

Get out of here now.

My goodness... what is happening now?

It says that the Magistrate is a traitor.

There is no doubt that this is a false accusation.

We can't just sit here and do nothing.

Let's all go. Let's go and protest.

Are you out of your mind?

If we go and protest now...

that will really make the magistrate the head of the rebellion.

Before we make a big deal, let's see what's going on.

Treason?

Yes.

The Magistrate has been incarcerated.

The interrogation will be held today.

I think...

Excellency Choi is behind this.

Then...

what happened to the Magistrate's people?

Yes. I heard that his servant has been incarcerated along with the Magistrate.

Young master.

Young master.

Make way.

Make way.

Bring out the accused.

Bring out the accused!

The magistrate of Miryang Kim Eun Ho is being addressed.

You allegedly formed an insurgent group...

consists of commoner, bastards, and slaves...

and hovered treasonous intentions.

Therefore...

from this moment, you are stripped of your post as the magistrate.

We will begin the interrogation now...

to expose your treasonous acts to the whole world.

Is the law of this country so poorly written that...

you can frame an innocent person of treason based on false accusations?

What? False accusations?

Then...

do you admit that you systematically took...

the labor force away from the royal villa construction?

And then disguised them as guard here at the office...

while you recruited them into your personal force?

I did no such thing.

Not only the fact that you filled most guards position...

in the office with the lowest class...

but do you admit that you intended to destroy the order of the society...

and undermine the law established by the authority of the royal government...

by claiming that you will hire people at the office...

regardless of their class and birth?

I do not admit to any of it.

Then are you saying that the story about...

you making your slave wear a top knot...

and hiring him as an official at the office is all made up?

Young master.

Were you really unaware that it is a treasonous to use...

slaves as government officials without legal permission to elevate their status?

Hurry up and say something!

I heard that...

you are Excellency Kim Eung Boo's bastard.

Isn't the reason behind you becoming the magistrate of Miryang...

to find and recruit people like you to start a rebellion

and carry out your treasonous plan. Isn't that correct?

You have mocked the royal government.

You are guilty of leading innocent people into rebellion.

You deserve to be publicly executed as an example to the people of this country.

Confess your crimes now.

If you do...

I will spare your life at least.

What the hell are they talking about?

Hey, you old man!

If you make one wrong move, that will be the end of it.

Miss, please try be patient....

I have no intention of confessing to the crimes I have not committed.

Whether you put me in jail or execute me...

do whatever you wish.

What?

If I am indeed guilty of any of the crimes you mentioned...

I'll be more than happy to receive deserved punishment.

Are you saying you are going to endure it?

You stupid fools.

You will finally realize his true colors...

once you've seen his evil tricks.

Let go of her!

Go away!

You stupid fools.

You all have been tricked by the Magistrate who controls a ghost.

You can't even tell what's in front of you and you thought everything was fine.

What? Ghost?

Did he just say ghost?

Yes.

I'm going to uncover his tricky facade once and for all.

This girl here is not human.

Excellency Choi. What are you talking about now?

This old man...

What kind of nonsense is that?

I will show you the evidence that you are a ghost.

Excellency Choi.

No! What are you doing?

Watch carefully now.

No matter how many times you kill her, she will never die.

Don't touch her!

You are having a fit.

Once you see it, you will know who's telling the truth.

Wait!

I will admit to...

all my crimes.

Let's end this once and for all.

Stop it now.

I said she is a ghost.

I told you to stop it now.

What kind of a calamity has fallen on us?

Tell me about it.

As soon as we changed to his side, he gets arrested.

On top of that, even the Magistrate's sidekick, Sergeant Dol is in trouble.

We shouldn't have changed sides.

I wonder if Excellency Choi will take me back.

Hey! What are you talking about?

We can't crack under pressure. We need to be level-headed about it.

Let's try to find a way to get the Magistrate out of this trouble.

How?

How about we break into jail wearing masks?

Masks?

If you really want to go to jail, you go on ahead.

I feel like I'm just about to get an idea...

What should we do? What should we do?

In this case...

we need something on our back...

Something on your back?

What are you talking about?

Kim...

Kim...

To Excellency Kim Eung Boo...

why didn't we think of that sooner?

We don't have a minute to lose.

Of course. Let's hurry up and send him a message.

- Let's do that. - Let's do that.

Who are you?

Miss.

I don't understand because I'm ignorant.

Was it so wrong that Dol Sue was wearing an officer's uniform?

I've never thought about this until now.

I don't understand why people have high and low ranks among us.

Everyone receives the same moonlight under the same sky.

I don't understand it either.

The one who should be living is wandering as a ghost.

The one who should be dead, like Excellency Choi...

is alive and kicking.

There must be some kind of meaning in all this.

He threw us in this wrong kind of world.

Whether you are a person or a ghost...

perhaps we are supposed to try to change things for the better?

Thank you for your work.

I never had a quiet day since you came to Miryang.

I will finally get to enjoy my books in peace and quiet.

Didn't you say something about deluding the world and deceiving people?

Didn't you say that it was a tricky facade?

These are the words from Excellency Choi...

who ended the lives of people by silencing them...

and filled his storage by squeezing the people's hungry stomach...

I'm going to keep those words deep in my bones.

Because...

the heaven above is not there just to look beautiful.

You better get ready for the day...

when you will receive the punishment from the heavens.

I am the law and the heaven.

You go ahead and receive it.

I'll give you that punishment from the heaven.

Stop it!

Young master!

Young master!

Stop it!

The punishment...

stop everything now.

Excellency Kim!

Are you telling us to stop while we are carrying...

an official government business?

I understand how powerful and influential you are.

But, don't tell me you are trying to interfere with a government business.

How can you use a governor's power for...

your personal gain and to take an innocent life?

I know he is your son.

But how can you defend the head of the rebellion?

Perhaps, you are also involved in this treasonous rebellion?

Governor Park.

Excellency Kim here also seems to be involved.

Why don't you prepare an interrogation?

Governor Park. Prepare to receive the royal command.

The royal command?

I command the governor to immediately pardon...

the former Magistrate of Miryang Kim Eun Ho.

According to the royal decree...

the Miryang's Magistrate position will not be limited by the class or rank.

Appointing a slave as an official at his office...

should be considered within the scope of the power of Magistrate.

Therefore there will be no more inquiry concerning this matter.

In addition, the people do not agree with the fact...

that he instigated ill-feelings among people.

On the contrary, the people of Miryang praised him...

for improving their lives for the better.

The accusations toward him will be dismissed due to the lack of evidence.

At this point Excellency Choi's evil deeds also have been brought to the light...

I strongly suspect that Kim Eun Ho was falsely accused.

Therefore, I acknowledge Kim Eun Ho's innocence.

Thereby, I command Kim Eun Ho to be pardoned...

and return to his post as the Magistrate.

Bang Wool!

Sergeant Dol!

Bang Wool.

Bang Wool.

This time, the minsters...

who saw your mother's family's ruined but did nothing...

helped to make this happen.

Your detailed account of Excellency Choi's...

wrongdoing played a major role in this.

This is just the beginning.

I'll dig to the rotten core of this...

and expose it to the whole world.

So...

did you find your mother?

I'm definitely going to find mother's whereabouts.

I regretted not being able to stop you from the wandering.

But...

I might have been hiding behind...

your heart's desire for your mother.

Father.

Even though I hold a position at the royal government...

what I still can't see is the hearts of the people.

Flowing water will make its way according to the law of nature.

Since you've gathered the hearts of the people and let them flow...

don't you think you should see where they end up?

How can I say that I know what is in the hearts of the people?

But, I'll not let any more innocent people lose their lives any more.

You look like you've gone through a lot.

That's right.

The Magistrate has father, mother and he also has Dol Sue.

He has his office here in Miryang. He has his home in Kimhae.

In his house, there are people who know him well.

That's right.

That's how it was.

He had his own life.

Tell me.

If it were you, what would make you willingly give up on yourself?

Moo Yeon.

Moo Yeon.

Help me.

Help me.

Moo Yeon.

You've all have worked so hard because of me.

Then...

We need to tie up the loose ends.

Let's do that.

Excellency Choi. I'm not going to leave him alone.

It's the magistrate. Make way for him.

What's all the noise outside?

The magistrate is here with his guards.

What? For what reason?

Please, you need to leave now.

I'm not going. Let go of me.

I'm not going like this.

Excellency Choi. You need to hurry up and go.

Let go of me.

Let go, you pest.

I saved your life by feeding you and came this far.

You should pay back for what you got.

Go out there and stop them.

Young master.

What's the matter?

I think they are going to arrest the Excellency.

It'll be a headache to get tangled up with the magistrate.

Why don't you leave here for now?

Hurry up.

You are...

How dare you come in here?

Excellency Choi.

I have something to tell you.

So, I came all the way here to see you.

Now that I've done it, the jail time doesn't seem so bad.

What?

After spending a few days there...

I found out that there is a better seat even inside the jail.

I'll specially take you to that spot...

so please relax and enjoy it.

You out there.

Yes.

You are under arrest for the murder of the former caretaker of the office...

and also for forming an private army which is prohibited by the law.

Also...

you've exploited people of Miryang...

by charging the tenants above the lawful...

proceeds and played as a loan-shark demanding a high interest.

You've framed people in order to confiscate their asset.

There are too many of your evil-doings to list them all.

Therefore, under the strict law of this country...

we are going to put you under arrest.

Drag him out.

Yes.

What?

No.

No, you bastards.

No.

You bastards.

Let go of me.

You bastards.

Open this up now.

You bastards.

Move everything to the Magistrate's office.

Yes.

So, that's how that human ended up.

He's no different than those demons controlled by Moo Yeon.

Moo Yeon made another human a slave to his own desire.

The desire is not necessarily bad.

If you use it incorrectly, that's what happens.

Sometime, the desire can be the power to move the world.

If all humans had good judgment and were level-headed like that...

gods like us will never suffer from any headaches.

Now, I've found you.

You are the one who hid that monster.

How are you related to that monster?

How did my mother turn into that monster?

Choi Joo Wal.

Tell me everything you know.

Kim Eun Ho.

Lady Arang went to see that woman.

What?

You know it too, right?

That woman is after Lady Arang's body.

She never let go of her target.

I don't know what Lady Arang has in her mind.

But make sure she doesn't give up on herself because of you.

Magistrate.

Did you see her again?

Why did you go to see her again? And you went there alone?

You don't actually believe what she said, do you?

Arang.

Magistrate.

If I go to the heaven...

you will not remember me.

If I go to the hell...

I will not remember you.

What are you talking about?

That's how it's going to be.

So...

I thought at least we can remain in each other's memories.

Do you think you make any sense at all now?

If it's because of my mother then you should forget it.

No...

No matter what it is, you should forget about it.

I don't even want to know what you're trying to do.

So, forget it. You should forget about everything.

Magistrate.

I...

The moment I found out the person who killed me was your mother...

I realised knowing the truth is meaningless.

So my truth is...

not killing your mother to avenge myself...

But it is saving your mother to save you.

Please let me, at least, do one thing right for me.

Do you realize you are making me a coward?

Do you think that's what I want?

Magistrate.

I wanted to make you a meal once.

There isn't that many days left until the next full moon.

Go ahead and have some.

Please relax.

I'll listen to whatever you want me to do.

I thought about it again.

I realized I was being foolish.

I hope you enjoy your meal.

Is it good?

Yes, it's delicious.

You actually thought about sending a message to Excellency Kim.

Thank you so much.

I especially prepared this for everyone.

What is this?

I never eat this type of meat because of the smell.

That's right. Officer Lee Bang never touches this type of smelly meat.

You don't know anything.

This is...

Like this...

If you eat it with this, it'll be okay.

Oh, it's good. It's delicious.

From now on, we'll put everything behind us...

and let's get along like real brothers.

I don't know about getting getting along like brothers.

Our ranks are clearly different.

Maybe it would be possible if it was in the magistrate's rank.

Magistrate?

No, we're just joking.

What are you doing there?

Why does she have to show up now?

What?

Well, let's face it.

What good is it to look in the mirror everyday and try to make myself pretty?

I can't come close to a person who is born beautiful like you.

What are you talking about?

Bang Wool, you are much prettier.

You are so not telling me the truth.

What brings you here at this time of the day?

No way...

if that's what it's about, I can't do it.

Just kill me instead.

Can you give this to the Magistrate?

What is this?

A letter?

I know I have been bothersome to you.

I asked you to do this and that...

Bang Wool, you are such a nice person.

I'm still asking you a favor like this until the end.

Good bye, Bang Wool.

The end?

What is it?

Magistrate.

What's the matter?

What is this?

She said it was the end... Please read it.

Magistrate.

Someone once said....

when he woke up from a dream of being a butterfly...

he wasn't sure whether he was the butterfly or the butterfly was him.

While I was with you, I also felt that same way.

I almost forgot whether I was a ghost that became a person...

or a person that became a ghost.

Like that, the time passed as if it was a dream.

The days, I spent as a person with...

the feelings sadness and happiness...

were truly dear to me.

I appreciate that I was precious to you.

Thank you for letting me live feeling precious.

Just as the cold wind erases the spot where the moon grows dark...

the place where I was will also disappear.

But...

I will not ask you to forget me.

Please remember...

the name Arang.

Magistrate...

I love you.

I'm here.

Are you really going to go?

I am.

If you aren't going to lead the way...

I'll just go there myself.

My lady. You are so cruel to me.

How can...

How can...

you give no consideration to the feelings in my heart?

Knowing vey well how I feel about you...

how can you do this to me?

It isn't like that.

If it is too difficult for you...

I'll go there alone.

I'm telling you not to go.

Don't come near me!

Lee Seo Im.

She came.

What are you thinking about?

I was thinking that I was thankful to you.

I never listened or care about other people's stories.

Since I met you, I've changed.

I feel like I've done nothing for you.

But you've done a lot for me.

I thought that leaving behind anything would become a source of your suffering.

That's why I pushed away your feelings and ran away pretending not to notice it.

I can't warm your body.

I can't live long and spend the rest of my life beside you.

Perhaps, I'll lose all my memories of you as I leave this earth...

But I still...

I still loved you.
