Good evening, Superintendent.
Pardon me for visiting so late.
We are closed for the day. Are you looking for something?
So… I was just…
Is he here… I mean,
has the individual visited recently?
Oh, are you looking for the person who entrusted Kkon-nim to me?
I have a message for them.
They are not here right now.
Then, will you relay this message?
Please tell them not to make any hasty moves,
as the Capital Guard will resolve this case.
-Especially with Kang Pil-jik-- -But, Superintendent.
They have already left.
What?
Jackpot!
PIL INN
I told you that this was a job for the Capital Guard.
How did you know I was here?
That is not important now.
This is no place for you to come alone.
My goodness…
-Are you all right? -Wake up.
You must wake up.
Are you all right?
Can you hear me?
Why are all the guards passed out?
Let us see what is going on inside.
What on earth?
Who untied you?
Lady Cho!
Who is this man?
I will explain later. Take the kids first.
Be careful.
Where are we going?
Are you taking us home?
Watch your step.
Get in.
Careful, now.
You have to stay quiet, all right?
-We will. -We will.
Where are you taking the children?
Darn it!
Find those rats and bring back the goods!
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
I asked you what you are planning to do with the kids.
I will send them to a safe place.
The children are witnesses. You cannot just send them away.
-I must take them to the Capital Guard-- -No, you cannot.
I found them, so I will take them.
How can you be so reckless?
Are you not worried that I could arrest you immediately?
If we delayed any further,
they would have been sold off and lost forever.
That is why this case must be investigated and resolved!
My resolution is to keep the children safe.
Kang Pil-jik must be punished by the law of the nation.
That is how this case will be resolved.
Are you sure he will be punished
if the children are brought in as witnesses?
Can you stop him from ever doing this again?
Can you guarantee the safety of those children?
Will they be able to return to their normal lives?
I know that we have laws, the Capital Guard, and the police bureau.
But what good do they serve?
Can you really say that they are protecting
all the defenseless people I have seen?
That is…
Carry on with your investigation, Superintendent.
I will continue to do what I can.
Are you not afraid of getting your identity exposed?
If you want to arrest me,
you can do so now.
What did you just say?
-We apologize, sir. -We apologize, sir.
On top of letting the children escape, you lost the mask as well as Park Su-ho?
I dare you to speak again.
Please forgive me!
I am unbelievably generous.
I have taken in you morons to be my subordinates.
I wish I could just cut our ties right here.
-I am sorry-- -I was only gone for a moment!
How could you mess this up so badly?
Get rid of everyone involved immediately.
-Yes! -Yes!
And you!
For now, do not do anything that would give away your involvement.
Remember to be discreet
and find where the mask is!
Yes, sir. I will.
Brother.
Where have you been this late at night?
Are you worried about me?
Why should I be?
It is good to see you twice in one day.
You look as if you have just been scolded by someone.
How did you notice?
Wait, did you really get scolded?
Brother.
Would you like to have a drink?
Is that a person or a ghost?
The finance minister's daughter-in-law?
What?
Are you all right, my lady?
Yong-deok…
I am fine.
Brother.
You know what I went through as a child.
So, why did you and Father take me in
when you knew the risk of accepting me into your family?
I do not remember everything that happened,
but you held onto my hand
regardless of the circumstances or the risks that were involved.
You did not seem to care about that at all.
What are you talking about?
I do not remember doing that.
Even though you continued to be distant from me ever since,
the warmth of your clasped hands kept me from being upset with you.
Su-ho.
-I want you to-- -I know.
I know that you are being like this
because no one must know that I am alive
or find out who my father is.
You have been living quietly as I wished until now.
So, why the sudden change of heart?
I happen to have become acquainted with someone.
With whom?
Are you not afraid of getting your identity exposed?
Of course I am. It is terrifying.
Why would I be immune to fear?
Can you stop him from ever doing this again?
Was I too harsh?
Why would he stare at me like that?
I did not see anything. I saw nothing!
Instructions for Women says, "Do not spy on others' secrets
and do not tell on others' faults…"
Oh, just forget it!
Actually,
I do not really know who it is.
You got my hopes up for nothing.
Anyway, what that person stands for is similar to the warmth I felt
when you held my hand that day.
I do not know what you are talking about.
That is right! The person is so daring.
I am amazed by what they can accomplish.
And I cannot figure out what is going on in their head.
But sometimes, they act so quickly that I wonder if they even think at all.
And every time they speak, they are always right.
It is driving me crazy!
So, who is this person?
I am a Capital Guard superintendent.
But I could not do it.
I could not say anything back.
So, to whom?
Do you know what?
I will do everything I can to bring down Kang Pil-jik!
I did not realize until now how much of a lightweight you were.
And I also learned something about you today.
I did not know you were so good at drinking.
So, who is this person you speak of?
I am not going to tell you.
I am dying to find out too!
Find out about what?
What kind of a person they are…
Who are you talking about?
I bet you want to know!
Park Su-ho!
What on earth have I done?
My thoughts exactly.
How are you feeling, sir?
-When did you get here? -Last night.
How could you do that to me?
You made me search for evidence for two days straight
while you were drinking with the defense secretary.
And why did you not tell me that Kang Pil-jik was released?
So, did you find anything?
You went to report to the captain while you were plastered yesterday.
He told you not to go near Kang Pil-jik
and said that if you did anything stupid…
Do you know that you have been acting strange lately?
What do you mean?
"I am dying to find out
what kind of a person they are."
Did I say that to you too?
There's been trouble around every corner ever since we came to Hanyang.
We have a big problem!
-Minister Yeom has passed away! -Pardon?
My lord? Lord Yeom!
Please open your eyes!
An earth-shattering event has taken place last night.
Lord Yeom!
How could such a heinous thing happen in the middle of the capital?
And why did it have to be now
when I am the captain of the Capital Guard?
He was well until yesterday.
Yes, he was. He was quite well!
And someone has killed such a healthy person!
-Someone killed him? -Was he murdered?
Did you expect such a hearty man to fall gravely ill overnight?
Who would do such a thing?
Would I be here if I knew…
Wait a minute.
Were you not very close with the finance minister?
Do not just stand there. Go to the scene and find the culprit.
You must best the police bureau!
Are we investigating this too?
Of course we are.
"I am dying to find out
-what kind of a person they are!" -"…what kind of a person they are!"
I said that to you too, Captain?
I am dying to know who killed him too.
-So, let us go now. Lead the way! -Yes, sir!
By now, the children would have left
for the Hwayeon Guild in Hamgyeong Province.
Right. That is a relief.
Why did you sigh like that?
It was nothing, really.
It was nothing, and?
The superintendent appeared.
-Again? -I know.
I do not know how he knew, but he just showed up.
Was he there to rescue the children as well?
I also think that was the reason,
but he said he was going to take them as witnesses.
So, what did you say?
"No way! Mind your own business!
Do not interfere with my work!"
Did you really say that to him?
What in the world?
What if the superintendent really arrests you?
So I said, "If you want to arrest me, arrest me right now!"
My goodness.
I do not think he will actually arrest me.
But on the other hand, he may be considering it.
What if he really does?
What if he finds out who you are?
That is why I am a little bit worried.
Just by a little bit.
A little bit?
Only by a little bit?
It is making my knees tremble!
Seriously, Lady Cho.
Why do you neglect yourself so much?
Yeon-seon…
Lady Cho!
Lady Yoo says to get ready quickly to leave for a condolence visit.
A condolence visit?
Yes, the finance minister has passed away last night.
NO ENTRY
How could this have happened?
Thank you for coming.
This has happened all too suddenly.
You must be feeling devastated.
That would be an understatement.
I cannot contain
this feeling of bitter grief.
The Capital Guard will catch the culprit at all costs.
The police bureau has begun its investigation.
By the way,
it is awful enough that he passed away so suddenly.
Is a postmortem exam necessary?
Did the police bureau say they would do so?
What are you doing?
Get inside immediately and keep a close eye on the bureau
to ensure they do not make any mistakes!
Yes, sir.
How dare you show up here?
You bastard!
Hand me that silver hairpin.
You were so quick to get here.
That was what I wanted to say.
Did you have to bring your daughter-in-law here?
As the old saying goes, in times of a great feast,
you have a thousand companions around you, but when faced with urgent challenges,
there is no one around by your side.
Madam Oh has long admired your daughter-in-law,
yet you have chosen not to bring her to this tragic occasion
just because she is a widow.
-Let us go in. -Yes, Mother.
NO ENTRY
There it is again.
An ice-cold blizzard that cuts through the battlefield.
Thank you for coming.
You must be so devastated.
I am sorry for your sudden loss.
I cannot find the words to truly comfort you.
I see you have joined us.
The sudden news was so…
surprising.
An investigation is underway by the Capital Guard and the police.
So, there is a bit of a commotion.
How dare someone do this to Minister Yeom?
Please, sir!
It was not me.
I did not do that, sir!
-Sir! -Bring him over here!
-Sir! -Get him on his knees!
Yong-deok…
My lady!
He is the murderer.
I did not kill Lord Yeom!
This man is a family servant.
Why do you say that he is the culprit?
The circumstantial evidence indicated an inside job.
We searched the servants' quarters,
and this man…
had this in his possession.
This is…
Lord Yeom's ring.
I am sure of it.
That ring belongs to me.
Madam, please look at it closely.
That is really mine.
If so, where did you get the ring?
That is…
It was…
According to another servant,
he left his room last night and did not return until dawn.
What did you do last night?
I did not go anywhere near the master's quarters last night.
You must have a witness to confirm that statement.
Do you have one?
Well, you see…
I apologize.
You see, the thing is,
the cold weather has got me coughing, you see.
How dare you?
How could you do such a thing?
Please, Madam Oh.
How could you betray my husband like this?
He took you in and looked after you in this house!
Please believe me.
I have only spoken the truth to you, Madam.
How dare you…
Madam Oh!
-Please take her inside. -Yes, of course.
What are you waiting for?
Tie up this criminal immediately!
-Yes! -Madam!
Please believe me!
-Madam Oh! -Take him away!
Please believe me!
No!
How on earth could such a terrible thing happen?
How could Minister Yeom be murdered?
It truly is terrible.
It is humiliating that he died at the hands of his own servant.
He was getting out of control. I knew he would end up like this one day.
That is enough! Be careful what you say, Defense Minister.
Are you suggesting that a problematic individual
deserves to die at the hands of his servant?
That was not what I--
-Do they have the culprit? -Yes.
He was arrested at the house and taken to the police bureau.
The capital is becoming more and more chaotic these days.
This is a heinous crime in which a royal official was murdered.
Investigate thoroughly to see if there is a mastermind behind the crime.
Yes, Left Minister.
Have them report directly to me on all the progress regarding this case.
Are you going to personally oversee it?
We must urgently resolve the situation and restore order in the nation!
Yes, sir.
Two bowls of soup for us.
Coming right up!
Please wait for just a moment.
PUB
What are you doing here in broad daylight?
Oh, Defense Secretary Park!
It is good that you are here.
Have a seat, sir.
Please let me buy you a drink.
-Alewife, I need another bottle over here. -Coming!
My goodness…
This again?
Why must everyone drink so much when they cannot handle it?
Are you drunk?
Oh, let us see. Is this what being drunk is like?
This is my first time trying alcohol.
It tastes good, and it makes me feel good.
I now see why people like to drink.
My goodness.
You are asking for trouble.
What more trouble could I possibly be in?
Does it matter?
No matter how much I worry, it never makes any difference!
I give up now.
They will do as they please.
Who are you so worried about?
It is someone
who is special to me.
They saved me as a child when I almost died of starvation.
They are like an angel who fell from the heavens.
I promised to buy a house and leave once I saved up a thousand yang.
So, I kept on trying not to save up a thousand yang.
You must not want to leave that person's side.
It is not exactly like that.
I cannot leave until that person is happy.
I have someone like that too.
Only when that person is happy
can I be at peace too.
I have two people like that.
You have two?
One is hard enough, but two?
One of them is
a very lonely person who has no one else but me.
And the other is
a pitiable brother who has no one else to protect him but me.
Sir,
you have my sympathy.
You have had enough. It is time to go home.
Pardon?
Were you not going to return home?
How did you know?
Well, it is always the same for me too.
I always go back.
You cannot enter.
What is this insolence?
How dare you touch a woman's body.
I will go right after I see my father.
It seems like 20 days have passed since I last saw the squire.
What is going on?
Hurry up and dismiss these men.
Well, she is Captain Hwang's daughter.
I see.
She must be the one not to be let inside the Capital Guard.
I am Officer Bi-chan.
All right, Officer Bi-chan. Will you let me in now?
You are not permitted.
It is a direct order from the captain.
Today, my father asked me
-to bring him a snack. -Bring him a snack.
He told me not to believe those words.
The sun will be setting soon.
Please hurry back to your home.
What did you just do?
What do you mean?
Did you just throw this lunch box at me just now?
I am not sure.
If you keep doing this, I will…
I think I need to speak with the pathologist one more time.
Why, all of a sudden?
Let me just say hi to the squire.
He is not here!
Do not lie to me. I know he is here!
-Oh, come on! -All right, go ahead!
Run like the wind and attend to your job!
Quickly!
If you do not leave right now…
What now?
Even when he was wrongfully accused, he refused to tell the truth.
I cannot say I witnessed anything, but I cannot turn a blind eye either.
What are you pondering about now?
Yeon-seon!
Why have you come back so late? I have been waiting all day!
I did some day drinking.
A drink?
I was afraid I might not recognize you and say something rude in my state,
so I sobered up before I came.
I will be careful from now on.
Now, tell me.
Why can you not turn a blind eye?
There is a widow in worse trouble than me.
Please ignore what I say, my husband.
THE STORY OF LADY BAEK: WHAT HAPPENED AT THE WATERMILL
My goodness!
What?
No way!
I was surprised too.
I could not believe it even after seeing it myself.
Do you know how long I practiced on the palanquin because of her?
I was so graceful too!
I cannot believe it.
She really outmatched you in so many different ways.
The situation has grown way out of control.
I am worried about Lady Baek.
There she goes, worrying about other people again.
I really worry about her.
Something did not seem right when you said you lost the other one.
I never thought you would dare to entertain such a daring idea.
No, Mother. It is just a misunderstanding.
I really did misplace it.
I knew all along about your late-night excursions.
Did you really think I did not know?
Mother…
Please, Mother…
Stubbornly starving yourself to follow your husband to the afterlife?
How could I possibly overlook your exemplary heart?
Mother…
No, Mother!
Do not disgrace your family any longer.
You must remain faithful and be praised by everyone until the very end.
I hope you are not alive when I open the door again.
If you are,
you will not be able to die a dignified death.
Mother…
The sudden death of the finance minister is such shocking news.
I think you must be prepared for the worst.
Is it that bad?
He ordered for the progress of all investigations
to be delivered directly to him personally.
The left minister's reaction seems a bit excessive.
I wonder why that is.
Seeing as a royal court minister has suddenly died,
it seems that we must also look into the matter closely.
Very well.
Did you find out anything else about the missing three?
Yes, I looked into their activities during the night of the incident.
I found out that one of them
entered and left the palace when they were off duty.
Who was that?
It was a man named Cho Seong-hu.
Cho Seong-hu, you say?
Then we should start with him.
Yes, Your Majesty.
What are you pondering so deeply?
I am sure of it.
There was a sweet fragrance.
A sweet fragrance?
There was a sweet scent coming from Minister Yeom's mouth.
How could a dead person's mouth give off a fragrance?
This is Minister Yeom's mouth we are…
Did you bring the postmortem report?
Have you not already checked the details with the official yourself?
He died around 8 p.m.
The cause of death was
a head injury.
Well, you see…
What did she want to tell me?
Let us go.
Where to?
Can you tell me where we are going?
I wonder if Lady Baek is okay.
Look at this straight handwriting. It is full of energy.
When the queen dowager wrote down each of these letters,
do you think she only transferred it onto the paper?
Does she even know what is going on?
She must have engraved it deeply in her heart
and meditated on it again and again.
I should not worry about others right now.
How dare you get distracted while I am talking to you!
I apologize, Mother.
The queen dowager may have given you a copy of Instructions for Women,
but you still fall short compared to the interior minister's daughter-in-law.
Why must you let your mind wander?
You are right, Mother.
She is very thorough in many ways,
so she likely did not do anything to be at fault.
Are you implying that I am finding faults in you?
That is not what I meant.
You must do everything to get ahead, not to fall behind Lady Baek.
So, what is your plan of action now?
How about I meet her in person to see how her days are going?
What do you think, Mother?
What are you talking about?
What brings you here, sir?
I have a few questions about the suspect who was arrested yesterday.
Do you mean Yong-deok?
Have you noticed anything odd about him lately?
I would not say odd, but he kept going out at night.
Perhaps he found himself a lover.
A lover, you say?
Do you know who that is?
Was it Gu-wol or Eon-nyeon?
Was he not seen meeting a lady in a mourning dress
at the town shrine?
-I heard he fell in love with a widow. -That is right!
-A widow? -She was beautiful
and had a gentle demeanor.
She did not seem like a widow from a peasant's family.
Is this what they call love?
I must go to the prison.
Lady Cho? What brings you all the way here?
I hope it is not rude to drop by unannounced.
Not at all. Please come in.
I came to ask your daughter-in-law for a lesson.
Where is she?
If you came to see my second daughter-in-law,
it might not be the best time right now.
Has she fallen ill?
She has stopped eating, insisting on following her husband.
I am worried sick about her.
-Please come inside for now. -Thank you.
I think she will be here for a while.
You should go to the kitchen and spend some time with Sun-geum.
I will wait for Lady Cho here.
What a good idea.
Your daughter-in-law is such a role model for all women
who are faithful to their late husbands.
I would like to speak with her and learn from her.
Unfortunately, you came here for nothing.
You will not be able to meet my daughter-in-law.
If you tell me when I can see your daughter-in-law,
can I come and see her then?
From what I have heard,
you have been a widow for over 15 years.
I guess you still do not know what it means to be faithful.
Do you really not understand what it means to stop eating?
Do you honestly not get it?
My daughter-in-law
will be an example for all widows who are faithful to their husbands.
I am innocent, sir.
The ring really belongs to me.
I have never laid a finger on Lord Yeom.
Is there anyone who can corroborate your story?
There is no way you were able to buy that ring.
Someone must have given it to you.
I can never tell you who that is.
It is a grave offense.
GRAVE OFFENSE: CRIME THAT VIOLATES
SOCIAL BONDS AND RELATIONSHIPS
If you fail to prove your innocence, you will be subjected to chamhyeong.
CHAMHYEONG: EXECUTION BY BEHEADING
I have heard that you have a lover.
Did you meet your lover that night?
-I can never tell you-- -Even if it costs you your life?
I would rather die instead.
But, sir, I swear to you.
I did not kill Lord Yeom.
Did you see that, sir?
See what?
If that man is really innocent,
is he not sacrificing his life to protect his secret lover?
Stop with the nonsense.
So, has the case been closed?
Yes, it is basically closed.
Even though the servant is still holding out on his confession,
it will not be a problem anyway.
He has still not confessed after being caught at the scene?
What could be the reason behind that?
It is a grave offense.
He must be trying to delay his punishment by dismemberment.
Did you bring the documents on Minister Yeom's case
from the police bureau?
Yes, Left Minister.
As you can see, there is nothing noteworthy here.
Any significant findings from the postmortem examination?
No, sir.
But the Capital Guard captain must be quite desperate for the merit.
A superintendent of the Capital Guard, who is not even part of the police bureau,
asked the pathologist for the postmortem report.
He made detailed inquiries about the purple spots
found inside the corpse's mouth.
My lord, your absence is making me…
so very sad.
Is there anyone…
Is there anyone out there?
It has been ages since this was last used.
Lord Yeom cared for this so much.
Why did it have to fall out from it?
The men were guarding the cellar door.
That must be where she is.
Go to Myeongdo Inn now and ask them to send Hwal-yu.
What are you planning to do?
We should save her first, should we not?
I can hear everything you are saying.
Do you think I am clueless?
Are you trying to sneak out the leftover rice cakes?
As a widow in mourning,
I cannot raise my voice out in the street in broad daylight.
I was giving Yeon-seon an errand to run.
Goodness, my lady!
-Are you all right? -My lady!
How can you be so frail?
This did not happen because I pushed you.
It was because you are weak.
All right?
Since I sit in a shrine all day,
even a short walk is enough to make my legs feel weak.
-Help me up. -Yes!
Carefully now!
There you go.
Yeon-seon.
I have no strength in my knees, so quickly go to Doctor Kim's clinic.
Yes, my lady.
-I will go on my errand now. -Yes, go ahead.
-Let us go slowly. -Yes, my lady.
Oh, my lady!
Do you think you can carry me?
Oh, no way.
That was the left minister's daughter-in-law, was it not?
Every time I see her,
she reminds me of a single blossom growing on a rocky cliff.
What a forlorn sight.
A single blossom?
But why have you been feeling so irritable since earlier?
Who, me?
Your gaze has been quivering
like a man blinded by jealousy since earlier.
That is enough!
I would not do such a thing.
You insolent fool.
FUNERAL
I appreciate you visiting us.
I really cannot thank you enough.
The minister and I have worked together
for more than ten years in the royal court.
I regret not being able to pay my respects sooner.
The Yeom family will never forget
the kindness and care you have always shown us.
I know this must be very difficult, but you need to stay composed.
You must take care of your household now.
The queen dowager has also been very concerned.
Thank you.
You have decorated your home with such refined elegance.
I am sure that not a single detail escapes your notice.
Not even a single flower tree,
nor a single flower petal.
I trust that you managed it with the utmost care.
Then, I will take my leave now.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
Who goes there?
What should we do about the door?
Who are you?
Put that thing down.
Did my mother send you to kill me?
Who, us?
We may look the part, but we are not assassins.
No need to be too alarmed! Put down the--
Do not come any closer!
If she wants my life so badly,
I will end it myself.
Do not do that!
Let go of me!
Why would you cover her mouth?
Help me!
Do something, will you?
Oh, goodness!
Will you please calm down?
You have really startled her!
Let us go.
Good job, Hwal-yu.
Were you not hurt?
Yes, I am okay.
I was talking about Lady Baek.
I did not hit her or anything.
What are you planning to do now?
As suspected, she was not trying to take her own life.
Are you that concerned about Lady Baek?
Being a role model for mourning women and dedicating your life to the family.
I understand what it means to live
a life of personal sacrifice.
The interior minister's family will not be able to say that she was taken.
I will look for a place for her to live in hiding.
Thank you once again, Lady Jang.
I think this one will cost quite a bit.
You are becoming more and more like Yeon-seon.
When will she be back?
Are you okay?
Who…
Head Guildmaster?
How did I get here?
Your life seemed to be in danger,
so I had to bring you here despite the intrusiveness.
I received a request from someone concerned about your situation.
If you sincerely wish to follow your husband in death,
I cannot stop you from doing so.
But if you wish to live,
I can help you start a new life far away from this place
where no one can find you.
No.
I cannot do that.
I may as well die
if I had to live on my own.
What should I do now?
How am I supposed to live like this?
There was definitely a sweet smell
coming from the corpse's mouth.
Was it a floral scent?
Are you messing with me?
What did you bring this garbage for?
A floral scent…
Why are you smelling dried-out petals?
They do not smell of anything.
The floral shoe, the petals…
Have you really found a woman you like?
Stop it and leave. You are being quite distracting.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
It melted. Do flower petals melt?
What?
Let me see.
Look, sir. It is melting!
Do you smell that? It smells like flowers.
This was the scent.
This was the scent I smelled from the finance minister's corpse.
Do not be too disheartened.
I know that you have done nothing wrong as the royal physician.
Thank you, Left Minister.
I am worried because the crown prince is very distraught after losing His Majesty.
He must now take over the throne.
How is the crown prince's physical health?
Well, there is one other thing.
His Majesty's body has been prepared for the funeral.
But the crown prince said
that he saw purple spots inside His Majesty's mouth
and detected a sweet scent.
So he asked me to examine his body again.
What kind of nonsense is that?
When Her Majesty heard about this,
she scolded the crown prince severely.
He has remained silent after that.
Very well. You should get back to work.
Father?
Lady Cho?
Yeo-hwa?
Are you spending the night in there?
You must hurry, my lady!
Oh, no.
May I come in for a moment?
EPILOGUE
There is a law allowing a husband to remarry,
but there is no provision that a wife can remarry.
He is not even her own servant but rather someone else's.
How long has it been going on?
INSTRUCTIONS FOR WOMEN
Did she not go to Madam Oh to learn Instructions for Women
but to see Yong-deok?
Why, exactly? What on earth for?
Did she love him enough to give up everything?
Why are you letting your mind wander?
I apologize, Mother!
I heard the interior minister's daughter-in-law
stopped eating, thinking about her husband.
Did you learn anything while you were there?
Follow Lady Baek's lead and do the same…
No, you must do more than her.
In your demeanor,
your thoughts,
and your actions alike.
Pardon?
I should do the same?
Look, sir. They are all dead!
Could this be…
Are you sure the ring that Yong-deok had was Lord Yeom's?
A Capital Guard superintendent is showing interest in this matter.
He was just trying to protect his lover.
He is not the perpetrator.
I can attest to that.
Given her impatient nature…
The head guildmaster of Myeongdo Inn just left with a veiled woman
and headed straight to the police bureau.
Drink this right now.
Who dared to allow a visit to the criminal?
I have come this far. I cannot stop now.
