All language subtitles for The Flower in Prison e21

Criminal Jung Dae Shik, an official
whose salary is paid by the government,

traded the Jeonokseo inmates'
labor for his personal agenda,

and even accepted bribery, and is therefore held accountable for
the crime of Jang Oe (abusing position/power for personal gain).

Although Jang Oe is a grievous crime
where the offender could be executed...

Sir! Sir! Please have mercy on me!
Please forgive me just this once!

Also, considering that the amount of the bribe received was small,
and because a portion was shared with the inmates who labored,

and above all, taking into account that he provided
important evidence during the investigation process,

will have two month's worth of salary withheld, and will be demoted
from a prison warden to the office of an associate administrator.

S-Sir! What do you mean an associate
a-administrator? That is too harsh! Sir!

- Sir!
- Look here!

What is too harsh? Then would you prefer to
be reinvestigated and put on trial again?

No! No! No, Sir!

Drag him away!

Next! Bring forward Jeonokseo damo Ok Nyeo!

Criminal Ok Nyeo was the mediator between the
chief merchant and the Jeonokseo prison warden,

and managed Jung Dae Shik's bribes.

Above all, she obtained classified government information
that there was a shortage of salt at the military camps...

S-Sir! What do you mean?

This is something Prison Warden
Jung Dae Shik already attested to!

Criminal Ok Nyeo used government classified information
for personal benefit during the salt distribution process

and therefore is sentenced to 20
floggings, which cannot be ransomed,

and will be sent away to Gamyoung of Hwanghae
province as a government-owned slave!

Thus we will close this trial.

Carry out the punishments!

Younggam! Deputy Minister! Criminal
Ok Nyeo's sentence is unjust!

Please reconsider her sentence.

What did you say?

The criminal is a Jeonokseo damo.

How could someone of such a low status possibly act as a mediator of an illegal
act between a trade company and a Jeonokseo prison warden and manage his bribes?

Clearly Jeonokseo Prison Warden Jung Dae Shik made a false
claim in order to make a scapegoat out of damo Ok Nyeo.

No, Sir! Although Ok Nyeo is a Jeonokseo damo,
she is well recognized for her intelligence

and has been managing not only the upkeep of the
accounts, but also planned the finances for Jeonokseo.

Shut your mouth! Are you suggesting that Jeonokseo,
a place that is managed by the Ministry of Justice,

is so easily influenced by a mere damo?

Are you attempting to look down upon the
Minister and Deputy Minister of Justice?

No, that is not what I mean!

Sir! Sir!

But isn't is true that that girl managed
the secret records of the Jeonokseo?

But Younggam! How could a mere damo act
against the wishes of a prison warden?

She may have been forced to do so. You
must take these nuances into account!

I'm being falsely accused!
What does he mean by "forced?"

No such thing took place! Please!

I fully understand what the
captain is trying to say.

But, above all, criminal Ok Nyeo found
out government classified information

and is guilty of collecting profits along with the trade
company and the prison warden. This much is undeniable.

Younggam! Jung Dae Shik's confession
regarding that matter is also all false.

How so?

Criminal Yoon Tae Won already confessed during the Police Bureau
investigation process that he was the one that found out that information.

That is true! I was the one
that obtained that information.

Ok Nyeo is innocent!

How did you find that out?

- Sir! I—
- We cannot reveal that.

However, because of that information, a trade company
that had been oppressed was finally able to distribute,

and was able to share profits
with the poor inmates.

This nation was also able to obtain salt at a much cheaper
price, and we also just received as much as we had worked for.

Isn't that why you alleviated
our sentences, Deputy Minister?

Even if the results were positive, we cannot hide
the negative acts that occurred during the process.

That is the law.

Then punish me! All of this is my fault!

Younggam, you must punish Jung Dae Shik for providing
a false confession and reconsider Ok Nyeo's sentence!

Although the criminal was acting on behalf of the nation's
benefit, if he or she performed illegal acts during the process,

I have yet to change my mind on my belief that he or she
should be punished to show the strictness of the law.

However, the captain's words that there is room
for reconsideration in the sentence I gave

is, in part, acceptable.

In four days, we will reconvene to
continue the trial of criminal Ok Nyeo.

Until then, the captain must investigate and find out whether or not the prison
warden coerced Ok Nyeo in any way during her management of the secret records,

and also who the person that revealed the
classified information to Yoon Tae Won is.

Yes, Deputy Minister of Justice!

I was falsely accused! Sir,
please reconsider! Sir!

Please! Please!

Sir!

Thank you! Come again!

Chun Doong! Chun Doong!

Are his ears blocked or something? How could he
shoot in like that without even responding to me?

Hurry on in!

Did you find anything out?

Gong Jae Myung and Tae Won Hyungnim will
pay the ransom instead of being flogged.

What about Ok Nyeo? What
happened to Ok Nyeo?

Ok Nyeo's trial was adjourned and
they will reconvene in four days.

- Why is that?
- I don't know why, either.

The fact that the trial is to be held again... Wouldn't that be a
sign that there may be a way for Ok Nyeo to get out of this mess?

This is good. It's good, indeed!

I shouldn't just sit around like this. I should
personally meet with the Deputy Minister of Justice.

Yes, Elder To Jung. Please plead
with him to go light on Ok Nyeo!

Untie the criminals.

Pay 30 bolts of cloth (to avoid the 50
floggings) to the Ministry of Justice.

If you pay your ransom to the Ministry of Justice in
ten days, you will finally be completely off the hook.

Yes, Sir.

You were all incredibly lucky.

Allowing wealthy tradesmen like yourselves to be able to pay ransom to
avoid punishment... It's no different then being proclaimed innocent.

The law is only strict to
those who are weak and poor.

Those who have influential figures looking
out for them all wiggle out like this.

Tae Won, we still have things to investigate with you, so
you will need to return to the Police Bureau tomorrow.

I will. But... What will happen to Ok Nyeo?

Ok Nyeo will be transferred again to Jeonokseo. She
will be imprisoned there until the next hearing.

Please let me meet her
for a short moment, Sir.

What?

Please. It only needs to
be but a short moment.

Sir!

Come in.

Head Merchant!

She will be transferred
soon, so keep it short.

Yes, Sir.

Why did you say that before?

Why did you say that you were the one
that obtained the classified information?

Just push all responsibility for that onto me and
you just worry about finding a way out of here.

But, Head Merchant...

Although the trial has been adjourned,
we shouldn't be relieved too early.

I will do everything in my power
while I am outside, so you

should also play along and not say a word about
the info on distributing to the military camps.

What if you fall into
danger again because of it?

I will take care of my matters, so you just
focus on thinking of a way out of this.

Don't even dream of taking this all on yourself
and becoming a scapegoat for us. You got that?

If you do that, I will never
see you again. Got it?

Yes...

I don't know why, but that punk Sung Ji Hun is somehow
out to help you, so I think things will go well.

Don't worry too much.

Did you meet Ok Nyeo?

I did.

It feels bad to leave Ok Nyeo behind alone.

But isn't it such a relief that we were able to
postpone her final trial thanks to the captain?

But that captain... As far as I know, he is to
become Daegam Yoon Won Hyung's son-in-law, right?

Then why would he take Ok
Nyeo's side like that?

I don't know the reason, either.

He might somehow be playing us
again, so you look into that.

- I will.
- Lets go.

Ok Nyeo!

- Ok Nyeo!
- Ahjussi!

Ok Nyeo!

Where did the other criminals go?
Why do you just have Ok Nyeo?

The others were all freed.

Ok Nyeo is the only one who will
be on trial again in four days.

The Minister of Justice has ordered her
imprisonment at the Jeonokseo until that day, Sir.

They all committed the same crime. Why would
Ok Nyeo be singled out for another trial?

You ask the Minister of Justice for making such
a call. Why are you picking a fight with me?

Clerk Ji, what are you doing just
standing there? Take her away!

Yes, Sir.

Ok Nyeo!

Supervisor Yang, come see me for a second.

Sure, Sir.

Have a seat.

What happened?

What, Sir? Oh!

The results of the trial, Sir?

Why do you keep acting like that?
I just played one joke on you!

Oh, alright, I'm sorry. You don't need to
use honorifics and call me sir anymore.

So hurry up and tell me. Why was
everyone freed except for Ok Nyeo?

Gong Jae Myung and Yoon Tae Won were released
because of Yoon Won Hyung's support, of course.

Sure, that's true. What
about Jung Dae Shik then?

Jung Dae Shik? Jung Dae Shik...

What do you think?

Oh, Supervisor Lee! Do you want me to die
of anticipation? Why are you doing this?

Jung Dae Shik provided an important piece
of information during the investigation.

That's why he was released.

I think... he will be
returning to Jeonokseo.

Huh? Returning to Jeonokseo?
What do you mean?

Look at you all surprised. Don't be too surprised. He is returning
not as a prison warden, but an associate administrator.

The Deputy Minister ordered a demotion.

So he will be returning
as your subordinate.

Is that true? What a relief!

Supervisor Lee, I'll buy you a drink at
Sosoroo. I'll treat you big, in fact.

- Really?
- Of course.

- Let's go today.
- So impatient!

- Let's go today friend.
- Sure, friend!

You had me real good there.

If that bastard were to return to
his original position... Phew!

Geez... Live well.

You're right. I need to be good.

How did it go?

Gong Jae Myung and Yoon Tae Won
were sentenced to 50 floggings.

But it sounds like this will
be resolved by paying ransoms.

And what of Ok Nyeo? Will she
be sent as a government slave?

Ok Nyeo's trial is to be
continued in four days.

The Deputy Minister of Justice requested
that the Police Bureau do a reinvestigation.

What do you mean? The crime was clear!
What is the need for a reinvestigation?

Did that prison warden
change his mind already?

No, Jung Dae Shik did confess.

But Captain Sung took in upon himself
to advocate on Ok Nyeo's behalf.

What? Captain Sung?

Why in heavens would he do such a thing?

I don't know the reason. But he
did state that Jung Dae Shik

made a false confession to
make Ok Nyeo his scapegoat.

And the Deputy Minister seemed to buy it.

That captain. How dare he
interfere with my plans?

That's a relief, though.

Sure is! I thought it would be difficult
for them to get out of this one.

- Exactly.
- Head Merchant!

- Hyungnim!
- Tae Won!

- Uncle!
- Why are you all outside?

It's such a relief that
the verdict was so light!

It is.

Do you know how worried I was
(no-shim-cho-sa) that you might be flogged?

Awww, did you now?

You are ready to get married, huh?

Everyone come on in. I
have something to say.

Yes, Sir.

What is "no-shim-cho-sa?" (noshimchosa - 勞心焦思-
Chinese - afraid her worst fears had come true.)

April showers bring May flowers.
(Do Chi interpreted it wrong!)

Oh, that's right.

- Do Chi.
- Yes, Chief Merchant!

Bring me our ledgers.

Yes, our balance book! Got it!

Here.

Hyungnim, besides the
silk we got from Ming,

we were told to dispose of all
of our remaining inventory.

What is it worth after we sell it all off?

Around 20,000 nyangs.

Wait, what are you talking about?

Why are we selling off our goods?

W-Well, Tae Won... You see...

I made a deal with Jung Nan Jung. In
exchange for allowing us both to live,

we will start working under Jung Nan Jung.

Why in the world did you do that?

Then what was I supposed to do? Daegam Yoon Won
Hyung was wielding his sword of power even at you.

We needed to anything in order to live.

Chief Merchant!

I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier,

but what is more important than our own
lives? Just this once, do as I say.

I would rather leave the trade company.

Then Jung Nan Jung will care about neither
Chief Merchant nor this trade company.

Hey, kiddo, you can't just
say something like that.

Tae Won, it's something that Chief
Merchant decided after much thought!

Did you do that really not knowing why
I entered into this trade company,

and with what intent I began to serve you?

I would rather give up than
to work under Jung Nan Jung.

Chief Merchant!

Please calm down!

Just end it here then, punk. Revenge or
no revenge. Just end everything here!

Tae Won!

Please calm down, Hyungnim!

Sit down, sit down.

Ok Nyeo, have some food.

In any case, isn't the fact that they will
put you on trial again in your favor?

We don't know yet.

I heard that the captain of the
Police Bureau helped you, didn't he?

Yes.

It's such a relief that there is
someone to stand by your side.

Relief my butt. That captain is
Yoon Won Hyung's son-in-law to be.

Don't trust him too much.

Ok Nyeo, hurry and have some.

Why did you help that wench, Ok Nyeo?

Help? What do you mean?

I head that you spoke up on Ok
Nyeo's behalf at the trial.

That is not the case. It was just that the
Deputy Minister was giving too great a sentence

to a mere damo, so I just
asked him to reconsider.

You think I would buy that nonsense?

You know full well how Daegam and
I feel about Ok Nyeo, don't you?

Taking her side is to blatantly
show your hostility towards me.

I just did my part.

Shut your mouth. Do you think I don't know

that the reason why you decided to break off the
engagement was because of that wench, Ok Nyeo?

What is the relationship
between you and Ok Nyeo?

Oh, is Associate Administrator Jung here?

What do you mean, Associate
Administrator Jung?

Oh, so I see you haven't heard
the news yet. Jung Dae Shik,

has been demoted to the post
of associate administrator.

What?

Jung Dae Shik? Have you no pride?

I would have resigned then and there.

Why would you come back here again?

I already told you. I will do just half of
the mean things to you that you did to me.

You experience how big the humiliation

is for yourself. You got that?

Associate Administrator Lee,
Clerk Ji, Yoo Geum Hee!

Yes.

Don't look out for Jung Dae Shik.

Just treat him as you would an
associate administrator. You got that?

Yes, Sir.

You two haven't answered yet. You got that?

Yes, Sir.

Associate Administrator Jung?
Associate Administrator Jung!

I heard that you pushed off all your wrongdoings
on Ok Nyeo just to save your own butt.

How could you do such a thing?

You have it wrong. That
is a misunderstanding!

Associate Administrator Jung!

You should reflect on your life and
feel remorse for your wrongdoings.

I will treat you as coldly
as Constable Yoo does.

You look great in the associate
administrator's uniform.

Geez. Do I need to quit or what?

No, no. They say a bad fortune
may be a blessing in disguise.

I will endure these humiliations
and transform my life later on.

Geez.

Did you hear about the
results of the trial?

I did, I did.

I owe it to you for Tae Won walking free.

Thank you, Nan Jung.

Ok Nyeo, that wench, might walk free, too!

What do you mean?

They say they will reconvene
for a retrial in four days.

What do you mean a retrial?

This is all because of Sung Ji Hun.

That punk came out and spoke on
Ok Nyeo's behalf at the trial.

You must wrap this up yourself.

What do you mean wrap it up?

Put a stop to this retrial and
reinvestigation nonsense,

and send that Ok Nyeo off as a slave!

Come now. Are you asking me to mess up
the order at the Ministry of Justice

for a mere damo? How would I look
to the government officials?

Daegam, didn't you promise me?

If I save Yoon Tae Won, you
will make that wench a slave.

I kept my end of the
promise, so you, Daegam,

should take responsibility for your words.

Please eat, Miss.

I don't feel like it, so take it out.

Miss, just eat a spoonful, at
least, so you can take medicine.

Did you hear anything about the captain?

What? Why do you ask?

Don't stutter. Just answer me.

Well, okay.

Miss, I think you best forget
about the captain now.

What are you talking about?

The Madam and the captain had a huge fight.

She scolded him real bad.

Really?

That's good.

But that sir and that girl Ok Nyeo

are what you thought they were.

What do you mean?

Ok Nyeo is imprisoned at
the Jeonokseo right now.

And rumor has it the captain
spoke for her at the trial.

That's why you should forget about him now.

Take your medicine and be strong.

Hurry up. Open up.

Get rid of it.

Welcome, Madam.

How come you came to our lowly place
instead of just calling for us?

I wanted to see your
trade company in person.

Why don't you invite Madam in?

Yes, Chief.

Yes, Ma'am, please come inside.

Alright.

Tae Won.

Long time no see.

I found out how much Daegam cares
about you through this event.

So if you will put away the knife
you have pointing at me first,

I plan to accept you as well.

If you still hold a grudge against me,

it's time to put that away.

You keep talking crap.

How dare you speak in that way to Madam!

She's not my madam. Why
should I respect her?

How dare you say that?

I don't need your acceptance.

Don't try to make me
your underling, either.

I'm through with the Gong
Jae Myeong company, too.

Tae Won.

I apologize again about Tae Won.

No need to worry about that.

I'll apologize also

if you've been offended by anything here.

It's natural to be competing in sales.

I'm happy that we're working together now.

I'm more apologetic now that you say that.

I will do my best to
assist you from now on.

Me, too. I'll also do
my best to assist you.

I didn't save you to have
you help our company.

Every time she takes over
another trade company,

she has allowed them to operate
at their own discretion

as long as they don't create
unnecessary commotion or friction.

What she is saying is that I won't
interfere with your authority.

In fact,

you are able to utilize my power, authority,
and wealth to grow your business even further.

If you will cooperate with
our madam, Chief Merchant,

you will earn a lot more money than now.

Thank you, madam.

I'll work hard, no do my
best at working hard, Madam.

Work hard.

She's not Jung Nan Jung for nothing.

That's how she has such a tight grip
on the high and mighty Yoon Won Hyung.

Why is everyone like this?

You're all on that wicked
woman's side already?

How dare you say that to Chief Merchant?!

No, I understand how you feel.

We have to do whatever we are
told to do to survive right now.

Sungnim, why did you
already just leave him?

It's useless. He only drinks no
matter how I try to get him to talk.

How about you go in there?

Should I go?

It'll be useless. He's too shocked.

It's better to just leave
him alone for now.

Hey, you're really drunk so stop drinking.

Jung Nan Jung doesn't seem
as bad as we thought.

She says she will accept
our company's authority.

She'll fund us, too.

That has nothing to do with me.

- Tae Won.
- Stop talking about that.

I will just be a pimp here at the
Sosoroo and go on with my life.

Come now.

It's better this way. My
heart can be at ease.

Geez.

Sir!

Ok Nyeo.

Sir, why are you like this?

I came because I wanted
to beg your forgiveness.

What?

The day before the retrial, Jung
Nan Jung's brother came to see me.

He said he would let me survive
if I put all the blame on you.

He offered me a deal.

I thought only of seeking
revenge on Yoo Jong Hwe

who gave me such humiliation and contempt.

So I put all the blame on you.

I went crazy for a second

and did something insane and something
I should not have done to you.

I'm really sorry.

Please forgive me.

I don't have any grudges against you.

I am the target behind all this, anyway.

The arrow pointed at me would have
still come after me even without you.

Thankfully, I will get a retrial.

Don't be too upset by it.

Ok Nyeo...

Do you remember me, Sir?

Yes, I do.

Elder To Jung is waiting.
Please come inside.

He's here.

It's been so long.

You look the same.

My face looks okay but I'm rotting inside.

Why? Are you sick?

This is how our nation is.

It'd be crazy to be able to live fine.

What you say is true.

I asked to meet you

because I have a favor to ask.

You know Ok Nyeo, right?

The damo at Jeonokseo?

I met Ok Nyeo on my visits to Jeonokseo.

I think of her as my daughter.

I've watched her grow up!

I watched Ok Nyeo grow up, too.

What do you want to say to me?

- I heard the retrial is postponed for four days.
- That is right.

This is something Ok Nyeo instigated for
the benefit of the Jeonokseo inmates.

She did something for the nation
that the nation couldn't do.

To send Ok Nyeo away as a slave is too
heavy a punishment for her crime.

Please give her a lighter sentence, Sir.

I am of the same opinion as both of you.

But Daegam Yoon Won Hyung
is behind this case.

To make Ok Nyeo a slave

is what he wants.

Look here, Jae Jung! How could you of
all people say such a foolish thing?

Are you Yoon Won Hyung's minion?

I'm sorry that I can't help you.

Younggam!

Who was the one who arranged for you to
distribute salt to the military camps?

That... I can't say.

Because of that, Chief Gong Jae Myung was beaten and Ok Nyeo,
who has nothing to do with it, is being jailed at Jeonokseo.

I can't have someone who helped
with good intentions get hurt, too.

You have to tell me so
Ok Nyeo can be released.

Sir, I'll take the punishment
if someone needs to.

Please release Ok Nyeo.

You need to tell me who it is, so I can
save you from becoming a government slave.

I have nothing to say.

This doesn't get solved with your silence.
I can't help you, then.

I'm sorry, Sir.

Sir, the chief of the Police
Bureau is looking for you.

You were looking for me?

Have a seat.

You should disassociate
yourself from this case.

What do you mean? Tomorrow is the retrial!

There won't be a retrial.

The sentencing will finish today.

The twenty floggings has been reduced to five canings, but
she will be sent as a slave in Haeju in Hwanghae province.

That can't be, Sir.

It's already decided by the Ministry
of Justice so just follow this order.

Time for you to go to Jeonokseo.

The investigation is already finished?

There won't be any more investigations.

What? What are you talking about?

The captain is no longer on the case due to
an order by the chief of the Police Bureau.

Why?

I don't know, but things are
going in a strange direction.

There isn't a retrial and your sentence
from last trial will be carried out as is.

You're going to be sent to Haeju of
Hwanghae province as a government slave.

What?

The investigation for the criminal Ok
Nyeo is finished, so you can go back.

Is Ok Nyeo getting released?

The criminal Ok Nyeo will be sent away as a
government slave as was previously sentenced.

What are you talking about?

Sir! Sir!

Sir, what happened? Ok Nyeo is
getting sent away to be a slave?

I said it was my fault. I'll go
to the Ministry of Justice now.

I'll go to the Ministry of Justice
and plead with the minister.

That won't be of any use right now.
Daegam Yoon Won Hyung ordered this.

You should go back now.

Sir, you are to become Daegam Yoon Won
Hyung's son-in-law. Please help me!

Help me so Ok Nyeo can get a retrial!

I heard you are Sir Yoon
Won Hyung's bastard son.

A son is better than a son-in-law.

Is everyone here?

Yes, Sir.

Let's go in.

Sir.

The reason I called for this
urgent meeting in secrecy,

is because we cannot watch silently
amidst their atrocious acts.

Joseon is not a country right now.

The streets are brimming with starving people
from the continuing plague of famine and floods,

and yet the people with power are throwing multiple
birthday parties to show off their prestige.

The palace is only interested in
getting rid of political foes.

So how can this be called a nation?

Not only that. But the Japanese are
crossing our borders to harass our people.

This nation has no interest in that.

They are only interested in passing their
riches and fame through their generations.

First Yang Jae Hyuk's proclamation
incident, then Lee Ho Young's treason.

I can't sit and watch their
fabricated "treasons" anymore.

The time has come to let our
plans and thoughts unfold.

Do you not remember me ordering the
sequel to the nation's Military Handbook?

The Military Handbook is the book that has all the
fine details of Yoon Im's treason, is it not?

It is. It's so that such
treason can't happen again.

However, when I had the Chan Jip Chung collect references for the annals, (Chan
Jip Chung - temporary government branch established to compile references)

all of them were praising Lee Yon Juk.

If it's Lee Yon Juk, then aren't
they the incumbent's trusted aides?

Are they crazy to do such an absurd thing?

This is another treason, Madam.

No matter how you try and
try to eradicate them,

they keep showing up again. What
should we do about these traitors?

Queen Dowager, we will take care of it.

Please don't worry. I'll make
sure it will never happen again.

Arrest them all.

Stop.

All traitors submit to your arrest.

Traitors? What are you talking about?

How can you make government officials collecting references for annals
as traitors? What kind of perverseness is this! Go away right now!

Arrest these traitors at once.

Let go.

Let go.

What did you say? The recorders
were taken to the royal prison?

Yes, King.

What's their crime?

Plotting treason.

- By chance, is it because of MooJeongBoGam? - Yes, Your Majesty (MooJeongBoGam:
Joseon record of warfare and domestic political upheavals up to reign of King Yejong.)

I gave special orders to the officials in the historical
record-keeping department about Moo Jeong Bo Gam.

I gave them instructions to record exactly
what happened without any bias or doubt.

Thus, accusing them of treason
is the same as disgracing me.

It was ordered by Queen Dowager.

It's best you don't get involved in it.

His Majesty arrives.

Stop the torture at once!

King, what are you here for?

What in the world are you doing?

We are following Queen Dowager's
order to interrogate the traitors.

What are you talking about? Can
you do this without a word to me?

But it's Queen Dowager.

The King of this nation is
not Queen Dowager but me!

Stop this at once.

Stop the torture.

Yes.

Madam, the interrogation has been
halted by the His Majesty's order.

Alright, you can leave.

Yes.

Ok Nyeo is leaving! Ok Nyeo
is leaving the prison!

Ok Nyeo is leaving now.

Are you not going to see her out?

Clerk Ji...

Ok Nyeo!

Where is Clerk Ji?

I don't think Clerk Ji can
bear to see you leave.

Say your goodbyes.

Ok Nyeo, I don't know what to say.

You will live well wherever
you are or whatever you do.

I believe that.

Thank you for taking care
of me all this time.

Ok Nyeo, I am really sorry. I
am a jerk who deserves to die.

Don't say such a thing, Sir.

I will take my leave now.

We will meet again if that's meant to be.
That's how life is. Good bye.

Ok Nyeo.

Ok Nyeo.

Ok Nyeo.

Ok Nyeo!

She's coming!

Ok Nyeo! Ok Nyeo!

Eat this on the way when you get hungry.

Ok Nyeo, don't be sick and make
sure to take care of your health!

Cheer up. Everything will turn out well.

Everything will be okay.

We will meet again.

You trust me, right? Don't worry and wait.

- Ok Nyeo.
- Teacher!

What are you doing? Let's get going.

Ok Nyeo!

Ok Nyeo!

Ok Nyeo!

♪ Will he come to me like a dream? ♪

♪ If one by one, threaded together, ♪

♪ will it reach your heart? ♪

♪ Even my heart which has grown weary ♪

What are you doing?

♪ You who I have written in my memory,
afraid you might get erased ♪

♪ I cry every day holding my breath ♪

♪ You, only you, as if you
are stuck in my heart ♪

♪ Another day, I live another day ♪

Who are you?

Why are they fighting?

You need to escape, Your Excellency.

Look, is that Lord Yoon Won Hyung?

Chase after him!

Who are you? Just let me live. I
will give you anything you wish.

B-Blood!

Nan Jung! Nan Jung!

Nan Jung! Look here, Nan Jung! Something
terrible has happened! Something terrible!

What is it?

His Excellency has been
attacked by assasins!

What? Where is the Lord?

We just brought him in.

Lord! What happened?

Lord! How is he?

He's still unconscious.

Lord! Please wake up!

Lord!

Queen Dowager, Chief of Royal
Guard Gi Choon Soo is here.

Show him in.

What brings you at this hour?

Queen Dowager, Lord Yoon Won Hyung
as been attacked by an assassin.

What?

How is he doing?

He's in critical condition.

Send a royal physician right away!
Right away!

Yes, Queen Dowager.

Your Majesty, Lord Yoon Won Hyung
has been attacked by an assassin

and hasn't regained consciousness.

What? Who would commit such a grave act?

We haven't figured out whose work it was.

What about my mother?

She's ordered the royal doctor
to treat Sir Yoon Won Hyung.

Go find out all the details.

Yes, Your Majesty.

When will he wake up?

I'm sorry but his condition is grave.

I can't guarantee anything at this point.

What are you talking about? No guarantees?

There is no sign of his pulse becoming
stronger, so acupuncture or herbal tonics...

I can't prescribe any of those.

Until he is awake, we can only watch.

Father.

Sir.

Tae Won!

The royal doctor is checking on
him but he's still unconscious.

How can this be happening?

Chun Doong.

Where's Sir To Jung and Woo Chi?

They are in the room.

They are trying to console Clerk Ji.

My heart's tearing apart hearing his cries.

I told Ok Nyeo she should
escape the prison.

I'll go in.

Alright.

What are you going to do now?

I'm going to go to Hwanghaedo.

I'll live near Ok Nyeo.

Don't talk nonsense. Can you bear to
see Ok Nyeo humiliated as a slave?

What else can I do?

We need to get her out.

How?

Do you have a way to do it?

You're going to have to get involved.

What? Me?

Go and con the Haeju precinct
officer to get Ok Nyeo out somehow.

I do have a way.

What's that?

If we get caught doing it, we'll all die.

Are you ready for that?

Stop wasting time and just get to it.

Sir To Jung, you know
what a Gusa is, right?

You mean like those government slaves that serve
the royal family or prestigious ministers?

Yes, my method is to make Ok
Nyeo a Gusa and get her out.

You crazy bastard! What acquaintance do the King
and Ok Nyeo have that the King would pull her out?

That's not it.

When the king grants slaves
to royalty or a minister,

we make that decree.

We take that decree and go to Haeju
precinct to pull Ok Nyeo out.

You mean to fake a King's order?

Yes, that's the only way as of now.

Wow, the king's order?

Are you sure about this?

Sir. Sir, you will need to get us a decree.

No matter how you do it,
you must get us one.

Did you bring it?

Yes.

Thanks.

Sir. You must come by Sinsi (3-5pm).

Alright. Don't worry.

Wow, it looks the same.

Sir, what does it say?

Granting the slave Ok Nyeo
status as a Gusa slave.

Was the name Dae Gil?

You are very good at this.

Here it is.

Wow. It looks the same, like
the same person wrote them.

Wow.

Now we just need the royal seal.

What's a royal seal?

It's the King's stamp that goes
on the king's decree last.

How can we get the King's stamp?

Don't worry.

Dae Gil, what's Yong Man been up to lately?

He's gambling these days.

Good. That will do.

Have a look.

Oh, pretty.

Wow.

You scared me.

Long time no see, Yong Man.

Yong Man, where are you running to
instead of paying back your debt?

Why are you doing this again?

You can just get us a stamp.

What did you say?

Falsify a royal seal?

I'll die if I get caught doing that.

I should just end you.

I'll make sure you won't be on
the losing end so stop worrying.

What if you lose a little?

Don't say anything and
just carve the stamp.

Seriously.

Look at it.

How does it look, Sir To Jung?

It looks the same. You are great.

Then Dae Gil and I will head
on over to Haeju first.

Alright. I'll come too after you.

Okay. Let's go.

How did it go?

I heard he's still unconscious.

Will he survive?

With the royal doctor there at all
hours, I don't think he will die.

I need to go into the palace right now.

Sir.

Didn't you say she's imprisoned
at the capital jail?

She was sent to Haeju as a
government slave at the retrial.

What?

Have a seat.

I received the letter from Sir
Lee Jeong Myeong without issue.

I'd like to install him as the
Minister of Military Affairs.

What do you think?

Do you think the Queen Dowager
and Soyun clan will stay still?

Well, that. I will have to keep an eye out.

If you can achieve that, he will
be a great addition for you.

Alright.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Are you aware that Ok Nyeo has
become a government slave?

What did you say?

Who's that?

Get them.

The Flower in Prison

- Preview - What happened? Why
should I be sent to the countryside?

You know very well why.

Is this because of my marriage?

I am not involved in this case.

Have you no idea who did such a thing?

Everything is my fault, Your Highness.

I will punish those bastards.

This is only the beginning.

I believe a big crisis will come soon.

He's the one who saved the sir
from the hands of the assassins.

Why are you here? Get out at once.

You're the one that caused the
wreck in my otherwise stable life!

I won't ever come here
again so don't worry.

What?
