[Episode 11]

You didn't have to do this.

That's okay. Please go in.

I will. Thank you.

Lady Suin!

You're not well enough to do this.

Young Master Yungang.

That's not him. Let's get inside.

Get off.

Did he survive?

It's not him.

What are you talking about? It's him.

What's wrong with your hair?

It's obscene.

Stop! It's not him.

Go inside quickly. Go on.

Take care of yourself, Mr. Hanjo.

Thank you. Take care of yourself, too.

Thank you.

He sounds the same as well.

Go inside.

What are you doing here?

You scared me!

What's going on?

It's too hot, so I'm taking a break.

It's really cool here. I have to go.

Tell me.

Why are you here?

It's a secret. I can't tell you.

This is Lady Sun's place.

Tell me!

What's going on?

A gunman?

I think Suin's father is his next target.

So?

I'm secretly guarding him.

I'm going to the South Annex tomorrow

where the meeting will be held.

The South Annex?

I shouldn't have said that. It's top secret.

The only person who'd use a gun

to rescue Yeonha is Yungang.

Yungang might still be alive.

Somewhere.

Who are you?

What are you doing hiding there?

I'm not hiding.

I was just looking around.

You're saying that the earth revolves

around the sun in the sky.

That's right.

I guess there was a silly guy like you

in a place called Italy.

We can send young talents to Qing and

let them learn how to make new weapons.

In the meantime,

we'll import 500 new style guns

and train an army to guard Joseon.

It's all written in this document.

Thank you.

I want you to be well prepared.

If things go well tomorrow,

we can move one step closer

to the strong country we want.

Yes, sir.

A new army?

It'll be His Majesty's personal guard.

Forming an army like that is

a challenge to us,

those who control the military power.

We need to stop this meeting from happening.

We will.

Don't worry about it.

Can we count on him?

He'll succeed.

He'll do this as if his life depended on it.

[The South Annex] The place where the envoys from Qing stayed

Thank you for working hard for this.

Hoeryeong, thank you for your hard work.

Watch them carefully.

Yes, sir!

Have a good trip.

Drop your gun!

Hogyeong!

I cut the left arm of a gunman.

I'm sure I left a scar.

It was you.

The gunman who killed Park Jinhan.

Over there.

Follow him.

What?

There was a gunman there?

What about Jeong Hoeryeong? Is he okay?

Luckily, he's unharmed.

Kim Hogyeong was shot

while trying to save Hoeryeong.

Send the royal doctor right away.

Tell him to save him.

Yes, Your Majesty.

A mere gunman tried to ruin a summit.

What kind of country is this?

Please calm down.

How much longer do I have to

put up with their brutality?

How much longer?

We'll check on him later.

Thank you for coming.

Father.

How is Hogyeong?

He's okay, but he hasn't woken up yet.

How could something like this happen?

Let's go inside.

Hogyeong.

It was you.

The gunman who killed Park Jinhan.

Father.

What's wrong?

Are you hurt?

It's nothing.

I fell off my horse.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

There was another gunfight

in the capital today.

Jeong Hoeryeong was almost killed.

Was he? Is he okay?

Luckily, yes.

Hogyeong, who's staying at his residence,

was shot instead, trying to save him.

Other than the guy who broke into our house,

I think there are more gunmen around.

Because of those gunmen,

the meeting place was completely wrecked.

How can something like this happen?

Don't worry about it too much.

The officials will take care of it.

But...

I'm tired.

I want to be alone.

Okay.

Get some rest.

Hogyeong, are you awake?

How's your father?

He was here a minute ago.

I'll go get him.

Wait.

Stay here for a moment.

Thank you.

For staying with me.

I'm glad seeing you here next to me.

Hogyeong.

That was the scar that my father mentioned.

What about his face?

I couldn't see it.

You should work with Choi Wonsin.

You have to keep him near you

if you want to catch this gunman.

Listen to me carefully.

I'm not generous enough to feed a dog

that can't hunt.

If you fail again, I'm going to drag you down

from the head of the peddlers' guild.

Don't forget that there are lots of people

who want your position.

In Hanyang?

Yes, there was a big commotion

because of a gunman.

Some said they saw the gunman's body.

It's a scary world.

Mr. Yamamoto will come to Joseon soon.

What are you talking about?

He sent a message.

When he arrives, he'll think

that we're a bunch of useless thugs.

The development of the gold mine

has stopped.

How are you going to explain it to him?

Don't push me.

I understand the situation.

We should clean up the storehouse.

I'm going to meet some brokers.

Tell Jemi to finish the books in 3 days.

Yes, Boss.

Mr. Hanjo.

What now?

The worst case scenario is that he could

send you back to Japan.

You should be prepared for that.

Mr. Hanjo.

I want to apologize on behalf of my father.

I'm begging you.

Can you give us one last chance,

for my sake?

Lift your head.

You don't have to do this.

I want to sincerely apologize to you.

My father regrets his behavior.

Why is he doing things that he'll regret later?

How silly!

Sorry.

Don't be. It's not your fault.

You don't have to apologize to me.

You're making it hard

for me to keep refusing you.

Then...

Produce tangible results immediately.

I'm putting you, not your father,

in charge of this business.

Thank you, Mr. Hanjo.

Thank you so much.

I won't let you down.

Now you're smiling.

Pardon?

Go ahead and smile.

I like it when you smile.

How do you feel?

It's okay.

Don't get up.

I'm fine.

I'm much better. Thank you.

Suin's been taking good care of me.

Thank you.

I'm forever in your debt.

Don't say that.

I'm glad you weren't harmed.

You can't go back to the palace.

They'll try to hurt you again.

I can't give up on what I think is right

because I'm afraid of dying.

Father.

That's what they want.

They want us to be scared.

Who are they?

High officials? Minister Kim?

I'm not talking about a specific individual.

I'm talking about those who

want to keep what's theirs.

It's always been that way.

A fight between those who

want to keep theirs,

and those who want to change the world

for the poor.

But if something bad happens to you...

Don't worry. Nothing's going to happen.

What are you doing here?

I was in the neighborhood.

Why?

Am I not welcome here?

Don't be silly.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

By the way, is something wrong?

You don't look well.

I was being careless and fell from my horse.

It could've been a lot worse.

How do you feel?

Much better.

I thought you'd gotten into

a fight with someone.

Especially the bruise around your eye.

It's like somebody beat you up or something.

No way.

By the way,

Hyewon told me what happened.

Thank you for giving us one more chance.

Like I said to her,

I'm giving your daughter a chance, not you.

She saw you kneeling in front of me.

If things hadn't worked out between us,

she'd have been very disappointed.

I don't want you to disappoint me.

Don't make your daughter

be ashamed of you.

Do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Thank you, Mr. Hanjo.

I've thought that Choi Wonsin was the one

who gave the gunman orders all along...

But I think Choi Wonsin is the gunman

that I've been looking for.

The head of the peddlers' guild is a gunman?

Do you have any evidence?

I just have a hunch.

I also saw a bruise on his face.

About the Choi Wonsin's document

that you took from his muniment room.

We couldn't find anything suspicious.

There were missing pages.

I'm sure something important is written

on those missing pages.

I want you to find them.

Okay, Boss.

Excuse me, Mr. Sato.

What is it now?

Have some. I made these especially for you.

I can't believe this.

You didn't have to do this.

What is it?

Wild ginseng?

Someone sent Mr. Hanjo some for a present,

so I took one root from there.

How dare you?

Eat it. You need energy to shoot a gun.

Keep it down.

I heard what happened

near the South Annex.

Why did you do that?

You've got the wrong guy. He's a good man.

Never mind. Go ahead and eat.

If you need anything else, let me know.

Wait for me.

I'll take care of it. Don't worry about it.

Okay.

I'll stay here and finish what I was doing.

Okay.

See you.

Yeonha!

Yungang!

That's why you came here? All by yourself?

Sorry. I was worried sick.

Why worry?

Look! I'm still alive and well.

Don't worry about me.

Nothing's going to happen to me.

I know you're okay.

I'd better get going.

I don't want to cause you trouble.

Let's go. I'll take you there.

Okay.

Yungang.

Walk away. Don't look back.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

He's over there.

Hello.

I'm here to talk to you

about the brokers' gathering.

Okay. Let's go inside.

Who was that girl?

I'm trying to hire another maid,

but she was too young, so I sent her back.

Why don't we go inside and talk?

What are you doing here?

I thought I saw someone I knew.

That girl you saw earlier?

Yes.

I think she's the girl

I sent to Mr. Song's the other day.

The girl that the gunman took.

No!

If it were her, I would've recognized her.

I guess you would have.

You seem to be very interested in that girl.

Why is that?

She's just a slave.

Shortly after I sent her to Mr. Song's,

she went missing.

I feel responsible.

Let's go. We have a lot to discuss.

Okay.

Suin, what are you doing here?

You can't be here.

Nobody should see you.

Let's go.

Yeonha.

It's really you? Right?

Suin.

What are you doing here?

I've been looking all over you.

I was so worried.

How have you been?

You must've been scared and lonely.

Sorry. I'm so sorry.

I should've found you earlier.

Suin.

I feel like I'm having a dream

seeing you like this.

Me, too. Everything's over.

I'm glad.

I'm so glad.

Thank you.

Thank you. Come again.

You came down to see if he was okay?

Yes.

If it weren't for you, I would've been caught.

I would've put Yungang in danger.

By the way, did you know

that Hanjo was my brother?

Yes, I found out the other day.

Does my brother know?

No.

I pretended that I didn't know him.

I'll keep pretending,

until he wants to talk to me first.

Please don't tell Yungang that you saw me.

I don't want him to know.

Can you do that?

Don't worry. I promise.

Okay.

What's your brother's name?

His name is Park Yungang.

We're going to get really busy.

Even if they have to work all night,

we need to speed up the mining process.

We will.

Can you also set up

a meeting with the brokers?

Yes. I've already sent messages around.

Mr. Yamamoto is coming to Joseon.

I want everything to go

according to schedule.

Yes, sir.

If you'll excuse me.

I have somewhere to go.

Take care. I'll come see you again.

Okay.

Yungang.

Yeonha.

No one saw me.

I came straight here.

Good.

Don't come to me like that again.

If something happens, I'll send Sangchu.

Okay.

But how much longer

do you have to hide your true identity?

I told you.

I have to clear father's name first.

What about Suin?

Why haven't you told her?

I can't.

If she finds out, she'll be in danger.

But you miss her.

Don't you?

I do. I do miss her.

I dream about seeing her

as Park Yungang every day.

But not now.

I can't put her in danger because of me.

Yungang.

Let's just hang in there.

Let's keep it secret from Suin for now.

Okay?

Yungang.

Father, this is terrible!

What is it?

Those brokers who've been providing goods

have all gone to the Songdo Merchants.

Why would they go to

the Songdo Merchants?

I have no idea.

Peddlers who couldn't get goods from

the brokers have come here to complain.

This guy called Kim Jwayeong

is supporting the Songdo Merchants.

The brokers had no choice.

Who is he?

How can he control the entire market

with a flick of his finger like that?

I think I'm going to pay him a visit.

Stop.

He's not someone you can just meet.

Leave it. I'll take care of it.

Stop.

You're not well enough to bow.

Just sit.

Why did you get hurt?

It's nothing.

There was a little incident.

How stupid!

You couldn't protect yourself?

What a useless idiot!

What are you doing here?

Did you want to see your father,

who was exiled because of you?

I'm here to see how you are.

How I am?

You sold out your own father

while being infatuated with a girl.

Now you want to know how I am?

What a load of crap!

I'm sorry.

But they're innocent people.

They shouldn't be used as your pawns.

Shut up!

Who the heck is that girl and

why are you defending her in front of me?

She's the woman I love.

I'm going to marry her.

What? Love? Marry her?

You're out of your mind.

I knew you wouldn't approve.

But I still thought you should know.

Shut up!

You bastard!

Get out of my sight, right now!

Take care of yourself. I'll be back.

What the heck are you doing here?

I think I know a way to get you out of this.

A way that you can go back to the palace.

What?

How can a bloke like you save me?

I've been working for Kim Jwayeong

for so long.

I've learned some tricks while serving him.

Why do you want to help me?

I want to serve you.

But you're serving Kim Jwayeong.

He'll dispose of me after the hunt.

That's why I'm looking for a new owner.

I'm sure you're thinking the same thing.

What are you talking about?

I heard Kim Jwayeong chose Mr. Choi

to take over your position.

I think you should be your own boss.

I'll be your right hand man.

How dare you!

Get out of here!

I can't believe what I'm hearing now.

How dare a mere merchant like you

try to fool me?

You can find out yourself

if I'm fooling you or not.

I'll get you back to the capital.

We can talk about other things after that.

Hang in there. I'm almost done.

Take your time. I'm fine.

Did something happen to you?

You seem a little down.

No. Nothing.

On the other hand, you look happy.

Did something good happen to you?

Yes.

I saw someone I've missed for a long time.

That's why I'm in a good mood.

Who was it?

It's a secret.

It's ready.

It's hot. Let it cool down a little.

I said it's hot.

I'm regretting not getting sick sooner.

What?

Chunok!

Sir!

Take your time. No one's coming.

What about the money?

I hid it in a pot outside.

Wait here. I'll go get it.

That's better.

Why is she taking so long to get the money?

I've finally got you, Son Taeksu.

What? You caught Son Taeksu?

Yes. He's being questioned now.

If he speaks, we can clear your father's name.

Hang in there. I'll clear your father's name.

I'm coming with you.

What?

Let me see him.

I want to ask him why he did it.

But...

I'm begging you, Jeonghun.

Please.

Son Taeksu?

Yes, a spy in the police bureau informed us.

He's being questioned now.

Tell me.

Who gave you the order

to frame Park Jinhan?

I can't tell you here.

Move me to a safe place.

You scum!

I'm sure there's a spy here.

They managed to plant me

in the Palace Guard.

I'm sure they have someone here as well.

If I'm right, they'll kill me.

Like they did to Jongtae.

Please move me to a safe place,

and promise me that you won't kill me.

Then, I'll talk.

Son Taeksu has been arrested.

They've got the guy who gave false testimony.

What should we do now?

Besides, His Majesty wants to question him.

If he tells the truth while being questioned,

we're done.

They're going to get rid of us all

using Park Jinhan's case as an excuse.

Don't worry.

That's not going to happen.

We're here. Stop.

Get out.

Oh my! My back!

Take him away.

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

Everyone else, guard the surrounding area.

Yes, sir.

Am I safe here?

Well.

It's been a while, Son Taeksu.

Who are you?

It's me.

The gunman who found you before.

If you don't talk this time,

I'll definitely kill you.

Huh?

Why are you doing this?

Tell me. Who was it?

Who gave you the order to frame my father?

Tell me who fabricated

Park Jinhan's case now.

Don't kill me.

I've already told you.

If I tell you, they'll kill us all.

Do you want to see my old mother killed?

You have completely ruined my life.

Because of your lies,

my father was killed,

my sister was sold as a slave,

and I almost died in the cold waters of a river

after being shot.

How can you still worry about

your own safety?

How?

You are...

Tell me.

I won't wait any longer.

One!

Two!

Three!

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you everything.

They had already prepared everything.

When you get there,

you can testify as we told you.

The head of the IB told me what to do.

A guy called Jo fabricated

Park Jinhan's letter in front of me.

It was all done under the supervision

of Jeong Wonho, the judge of the IB.

Then Jeong Wonho was in charge of

the whole thing.

But why?

Why did they do such a thing

while relying on you?

They weren't relying on me.

They were relying on...

Son Taeksu! Son Taeksu!

What's going on?

Tell me! Who was he?

I heard a stranger in our uniform

took Son Taeksu inside.

It was our chance to clear Jinhan's name.

Now you've ruined everything.

I'm sorry.

But he has nothing to do with it.

The shot came from outside...

Tell me.

Sir. Please calm down.

If you don't tell me, I'll consider you

the gunman's spy and arrest you.

Excuse me?

Spy?

I won't let it slide.

Tell me! Now!

Is anyone out there?

Yes, sir.

He's the one who helped the gunman.

Lock him up immediately.

What?

Wait!

If I go to jail now, everything will be ruined.

Sir. This shouldn't be happening.

Boss.

Have you found out anything?

Yes.

Tomorrow afternoon,

Jeong Hoeryeong will host a meeting.

I think that's our chance.

Where?

Here. Look at this.

This is the route from Jeong's house

to the meeting place.

It'll be around 2 tomorrow.

He'll leave home before then.

Mr. Hanjo.

Lady Suin is here.

I heard that someone tried

to harm your father.

Yes, but he was lucky.

Hogyeong saved his life.

That's good to hear.

If it weren't for Hogyeong,

my father would've been hurt.

I'm so thankful to him.

Thankful?

Is that it?

What do you mean?

Well... I mean...

Mr. Hanjo.

What is it?

The explosives expert was hurt.

What?

There was an explosion while they working.

People are hurt. Hurry.

What happened? How is the expert?

We moved him to treat him.

He'll be immobile for a while.

We've been pushing too hard

trying to meet your goal.

Why don't we hire more people...

People won't cut it.

We need an expert to meet our goal.

Before Mr. Yamamoto arrives,

we need to meet our goal no matter what.

But we need time to find another expert.

I'll do it.

I know the basics.

Besides I've learned since the last time.

Don't be silly.

You saw the expert get hurt.

It's not something you can do. Stay out of it.

Right.

Suin, you can help us.

What are you talking about?

As she said, she knows basics.

If the expert helps her a little, she can do this.

Right, Suin?

Sure. I can do it.

Please let's do this. We don't have time.

Okay. I'll think about it.

Let's go back.

Yes, sir.

Why are you getting involved in this?

You said you needed to meet your goal.

That's no concern of yours.

I just wanted to help you.

Thanks to you, I've learned some skills.

It's a dangerous job.

Be careful not to get hurt.

I will.

My work never ends.

Are you leaving now?

Is this for Mr. Hanjo?

Yes. Why?

If you're busy, can I take it to him?

Take it.

I brought you some tea.
