Original subtitles

I’m sorry.

Everything I said was a lie.

I missed you. I missed you so much.

Yungang.

I never dreamed of forgetting you.

Don’t go.

I won’t let you go.

Please stay with me. Please.

[Episode 13] Congratulations!

Thank you. I’m quite impressed.

How could a bloke like me move

high officials in the palace?

It was possible because

you’re a well respected person.

How humble!

You’re a bigger man than I thought.

Please use me as you see fit.

I’ll do anything for you.

Mr. Hanjo?

Yes. He wants to see you tonight.

He’ll be waiting in his office.

Okay.

See you later.

What did he want?

Nothing. Excuse me.

It’ll be over soon.

I’ll finish things quickly.

I’ll get things straighten out

and come back to you.

As Park Yungang, not Hanjo.

I’ll come back to you.

Please be careful.

Promise me that you’re going to be okay.

I promise.

I’ll come back unharmed.

It’s a gun.

Drop your gun.

Now!

How stupid!

If you were a true gunman you could tell

by the sound if it was a rifle or a pistol.

You’ve always been impatient.

You’ve always been ruled by your emotions.

That’s who you are

and that doesn’t help you as a gunman.

I killed your father with this gun.

I’ll kill you, too.

Go.

Go and ask for forgiveness.

From my father,

who had to die a wrongful death.

I didn’t want to do it.

I didn’t want to kill your father.

I had no choice but to do

what I was told to do.

I’ve lived as their slave for my entire life.

I was their hunting dog, who obeyed them.

For my daughter!

For my daughter,

who was beaten after being raped.

Shut up!

Don’t try to make excuses.

Your dirty ambition and greed caused all this.

You did it for you.

Don’t try to use your daughter as an excuse.

You killed my father

and sold my sister as a slave.

I had to live in hell every single day

for all those years.

While waiting for this moment to come.

This moment when I can take your life.

You’re going to die here today.

Your life ends here.

Mr. Hanjo!

What are you doing here? Stop right now!

Move!

Is this why you invited me to your place?

To kill my father while I was gone?

Move!

If not, I’ll kill you as well.

Please do.

If you’re going to kill him,

kill me first.

He’s done everything for me.

Please kill me first.

I have survived while depending on his gun.

I’m as guilty to you as my father.

Hyewon.

Kill us.

We’ll pay for what we did.

We deserve to die for what we’ve done.

Please shoot us both.

Now!

If that’s what you want, I’ll shoot you both.

No!

She didn’t do anything.

Kill me, not her.

I’m begging you.

It’s not over, yet.

You explain what you did to the police,

clear my father’s name first.

Then, you’ll die.

Boss.

Stop. That’s enough.

He’s the gunman who killed Park Jinhan.

He framed my father using Son Taeksu,

under the order of Kim Jwayeong.

Go. Go tell them everything.

If not, I’ll hunt you down and kill you.

Okay.

It’s been a while.

You survived.

I’ll take over from now on.

Don’t get involved.

By tomorrow,

your father’s name will be cleared,

and you can come back as Park Yungang.

Thank you.

What’s going on?

Why is he here?

He’s the gunman who killed

Park Jinhan 3 years ago.

I’ll question him myself.

I’m sorry.

Because of me,

my family has been through a lot.

Father!

Father!

Father!

Father!

No!

Father! No!

Father, it’s all over.

Please rest in peace.

Yungang.

Suin.

You’re okay.

What do you mean you don’t know?

As I said, I have nothing to do with it.

I’m not the gunman

and I don’t know who Kim Jwayeong is.

Stop it!

Why are you lying all of a sudden?

How can you explain this gun

that we found at your place?

I keep it for self-defense.

I’ve never shot anyone with it.

How dare you!

Why don’t you stop this

and let me loose?

You saw yourself.

He tied me up and threatened me

with his gun.

How could I say otherwise

under the circumstances?

You should’ve arrested him, not me.

Park Yungang, a traitor. That’s him.

What’s going on? You can’t come in here.

Move.

Investigative Bureau. We’ll take him.

This case is under our jurisdiction.

We’re taking over this case.

Get him out of here.

Yes, sir!

The Investigative Bureau took him.

It’ll be better to question him

at the Investigative Bureau, which we’re

in charge of, than at the Police Bureau.

I should’ve gotten rid of him earlier.

Get him out, for now.

If anything goes wrong, we’re in trouble.

Yes, sir!

Who on earth caught Choi Wonsin

and handed him over to the police?

It was Park Yungang.

He’s the son of Park Jinhan,

who we took care of years ago.

What?

He somehow survived.

He was disguised as

a Japanese merchant, Hanjo.

Hanjo?

That guy, Hanjo?

Yes.

When we arrested Jeong Hoeryeong

and his daughter, he helped them get out.

Get him right now!

Get rid of him first.

Yes, sir!

I can’t believe this.

Hyewon’s father was the gunman?

I’m so shocked.

I can’t believe that he always greeted me

with a smile after all he’s done.

We had tea together like nothing happened.

Did Hyewon know about this all along?

I don’t know, but she knows now.

I couldn’t kill him because of Hyewon.

I couldn’t, not in front of his own daughter.

I didn’t want to be like him.

You did the right thing.

They police will clear your father’s name.

I came here a lot.

I cried a lot while sitting here alone.

Now I’m not alone.

I’m with you.

Suin.

Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Think about the happy days you’ll have

with me and Yeonha.

Are you sure?

I can live with Yungang?

Of course. It should be done by now.

I can’t believe this.

I’m not dreaming, right?

I don’t want to wake up if I’m dreaming.

I came here to apologize.

Please forgive my father for what he did.

You’re not the one who should apologize.

Besides,

apologizing won’t make a difference.

No matter how many times you apologize,

my father won’t come back to life.

Please leave.

We won’t be seeing each other again.

You’re finally reunited with your brother.

Thank you for helping me.

Don’t thank me. What did I do?

You’re Mr. Hanjo’s sister?

Was Mr. Hanjo a Joseon citizen?

You do look like your brother.

No, I don’t.

What’s going on?

Traitor Park Yungang!

You’re under arrest for killing the Minister

of Justice and the Minister of Works.

A traitor? Why am I still a traitor?

Choi Wonsin was arrested.

He said he’d tell the truth.

Shut up!

What are you doing? Take him away!

Yes, sir!

Let go of me!

Yungang!

Yungang!

Yeonha!

Don’t worry. There must’ve been a mistake.

Don’t worry. I’ll be back soon.

Yungang.

Let’s go.

What the heck did you do?

Things are going the way they should.

When you had the chance,

you should’ve taken it.

You only have yourself to blame.

You!

Choi Wonsin!

Take him away!

I’m not going down like this.

I’m going to make you pay, no matter what.

Let me go!

Let’s go!

He’s the late Park Jinhan’s son.

He ran away to avoid execution

and came back as a gunman.

He brutally murdered the Minister of Justice

and Minister of Works.

There’s no proof

that he killed either of them.

Sir!

Your Majesty,

the criminal here is Choi Wonsin.

According to Officer Moon from the Police,

he murdered Park Jinhan 3 years ago,

and also murdered the Reformists scholars

including Ogyeong.

That is what I call a groundless

and malicious accusation, Your Majesty.

We found his gun.

Do you have evidence

that’s the gun that killed them?

Stop.

The Investigative Bureau will find out

who’s guilty and who’s not.

You’re absolutely right, Your Majesty.

However,

the Investigative Bureau has brutally tortured

and extorted confessions from suspects.

Therefore,

from now on, Min Yeongik,

the head of Tongri Gimu Amun

will be in charge of this case.

Your Majesty.

I want you to resolve this justly.

Yes, Your Majesty. I’ll do whatever I can.

What happened?

I’ve seized another chance.

Another chance?

I thought you were going to confess.

I thought you were going to beg

Yungang for forgiveness.

I haven’t done anything wrong.

Why would I beg him for forgiveness?

Father.

I want you to keep your mouth shut.

I’ll take care of it.

Why are you doing this?

Tell them the truth.

Tell them who’s behind you,

and what they asked you to do.

Go back.

If you don’t, I’ll tell them everything.

I’ll tell them about those guys behind you.

If you talk, I die.

Do you want to strangle your own father?

Father.

Stay out of it.

That way, you and I can live.

They won’t bother you about

the Minister of Justice

or the Minster of Works anymore.

They have no evidence.

They’ve searched your office,

but couldn’t find your gun.

They’ll try to prove that I’m Park Yungang.

That’s right. Tell them you’re Japanese.

They’ll do anything to prove it.

They’ll take Lady Suin in, and even Yeonha.

What are you doing to do?

I’m going to tell them who I am.

I’m going to clear my father’s name.

I’m going to prove that Choi Wonsin is guilty.

Arrest the dosa of the Investigative Bureau

who forced Son Taeksu to perjure himself.

He won’t break easily.

He’s now promoted to Army Commander.

I have a plan. Please arrest him.

Okay. I’ll get Min Yeongik’s permission.

Can you also find this guy called Jo?

Jo?

Yes.

Before he died, Son Taeksu mentioned him.

A guy called Jo fabricated

Park Jinhan’s letter in front of me.

He’s the one who forged

the document professionally.

I think Choi Wonsin hired him as well.

Jo?

I knew he was the one.

Do you know him?

His name is Jo Dalsu

and he’s well-known in that field.

I suspected him, actually.

Please arrest him.

I’ll make him confess.

Okay.

I’ll ask you again. Are you Park Yungang?

Yes, I’m Park Yungang.

The son of the late Park Jinhan.

It was reported that you were killed

by a soldier of the Investigative Bureau.

How did you come back to life?

I didn’t come back to life.

I couldn’t die...

Because my father died a wrongful death.

Besides, it wasn’t a soldier who shot me.

Choi Wonsin! He shot me with his gun.

He killed my father and

tried to kill me as well.

He’s been working for Kim Jwayeong.

He also framed my father, Park Jinhan,

using Son Taeksu.

He confessed everything to me last night.

Is he telling the truth?

No, sir.

Everything he said is lie.

I don’t know who Son Taeksu is

and who this gentleman Kim Jwayeong is.

You’re unbelievable.

How can you explain the gun

found at your place?

I kept it for self defense.

I’ve never hurt anyone using that gun.

Do you want to die as

Kim Jwayeong’s hunting dog?

I don’t know who that gentleman is.

Don’t try to connect me

to a gentleman that I don’t know.

Why do you keep calling him a gentleman

if you don’t know him?

Are you afraid of him?

Are you afraid that he might do

something terrible to you?

Shut your mouth!

I’m not the kind of person that you think I am.

Stop!

How dare you raise your voice?

Choi Wonsin, you said your daughter

witnessed the whole thing.

Sir, she has nothing to do with this.

She saw him threatening me with his gun.

I’m sure she’s quite shaken.

I don’t think she’s capable of testifying.

But she is a witness.

I have to know what happened

between you two,

and what you two talked about.

Sir, please keep her out of this.

If I see her suffer again,

I don’t know what I’m going to say.

Find a use for it, please.

It’s time for the Min Clan to lead this country.

What are you talking about?

Are you threatening me or something?

I’m sorry, sir.

I didn’t mean to offend you.

I was just worried that I might say

something obscene in front of you.

Why don’t you summon her to testify?

As far as I know, she’s a strong woman.

She can handle this no problem.

What are you talking about?

Besides, she’s the only witness in this case.

I think you should summon her as a witness.

Okay.

Bring in Choi Hyewon tomorrow.

I’ll question her.

Yes, sir.

Sir, this isn’t fair.

Shut up!

How dare you scream at me like that?

Don’t you know who I am?

Lock them up.

Yes, sir!

Sir!

Sir!

Sir!

Sir!

Please tell the truth.

Please tell the truth tomorrow.

What about my father?

Tell me.

Are you asking me to kill my father?

Is that what you’re asking?

Go.

I don’t want to see you anymore.

Hyewon.

This isn’t easy for me.

Please go.

I’m sorry.

I know it’s not easy for you,

but Yungang saved your life.

He lost his father because of your father.

If you think about that, please help him.

Tell them the truth tomorrow.

Did Suin know that you were Yungang?

I tried to hide it, but she figured out.

You should’ve been more careful.

If I were you, I would’ve.

If you’d thought about

what she went through for 3 years

and how she learned how to smile again,

you should’ve.

I’m not going to let her suffer.

I’m going to make her forget the past.

But you’re locked up

and don’t know if you’re going to survive.

I’ll survive. This isn’t the end.

Please do.

Not for you, but for Suin.

[Hanseong-bu]

What’s going on?

We’re from the Investigative Bureau.

You need to come with us.

What?

Who on earth told you to arrest me?

Judge Min of the Investigative Bureau sent us.

This is my father’s will.

Can you copy his handwriting?

Did you bring money?

Who are you people?

Jo Dalsu, you’re under arrest for

forging the late Park Jinhan’s handwriting.

I arrested both of them.

But they won’t talk.

They will.

Deliver my message to Judge Min.

We have to make them give up everything.

Jo Dalsu, who forged the letter, confessed

about how you were involved in the case.

The dosa told me everything

including how you forged the letter.

Then offer them a carrot.

If you tell me the truth, I’ll release you.

Are you sure?

Don’t worry about them.

His Majesty will protect you.

Sir, I can move hundreds of soldiers.

Who do you think I’m afraid of?

Then you have no reason not to talk.

If you testify, His Majesty will compensate

for your troubles.

You’ll become Commander

in Chief of the army.

He’ll still refuse to testify.

I’m not the kind of person who’ll make

a false statement to get a higher position.

The Scholars of the Conservatives will press

Judge Min to release him.

Then release him.

Release him? What are you talking about?

He hasn’t said anything, yet.

If he’s released,

the Conservatives will try to get rid of him.

Then you can save him.

That way, he’ll have a change of heart

and confess everything.

What if we lose him in the process?

That’d be a disaster.

I have a plan.

I’m sorry, but I was ordered

to keep you quiet forever.

Follow him!

Yes, sir!

Don’t lose him. Catch him!

Thank you.

Are they really...

They were trying to kill you.

Tell the truth tomorrow.

There’s no reason for you to protect them.

Okay.

I’ll tell everything in front of everybody.

A traitor like you walks around

freely like that?

I guess you have someone

taking good care of you.

You’re the one who hasn’t stopped

committing crimes while in jail.

You tried to kill the dosa.

Why are you here?

I’m here to give you one last chance.

Tell the truth tomorrow.

What are you talking about?

Think about your daughter.

Hyewon will lie for you,

but when you’re found guilty,

she’ll be punished heavily for perjury.

I’m ready to win.

If you really care about your daughter,

keep her out of this.

They saved the dosa.

It’s going to come back to bite us.

This isn’t good.

If things don’t turn around,

Kim Jwayeong will kill you.

Don’t worry. I’ll get you out of there.

I’m different than Kim Jwayeong.

I won’t abandon you, no matter what.

Sir.

I’ll come up with a plan.

Go talk to Min Yeongik.

I’ve arranged something.

He can’t just ignore me.

What are you doing here?

I needed to talk to you,

so I was waiting for you.

I have nothing to talk about.

If you have anything to tell me,

do it tomorrow.

The truth will be revealed.

The winner’s word is the truth.

You’ll find out what that means.

His Majesty is present!

The head of the gunmen who killed scholars

from the Reformists is that guy, Choi Wonsin.

He also killed, Park Jinhan,

the head of the Palace Patrol.

Kim Jwayeong is the one who’s behind all this.

Two nights ago,

Choi Wonsin confessed everything.

Choi Wonsin!

Yes, Your Majesty!

Is what he said true?

No.

I’m just a mere merchant.

He’s trying to harm me

for no apparent reason.

He broke into my residence two nights ago

and threatened me with his gun.

Bring in the witness.

Tell me.

What did you see two nights ago?

What did you hear?

Is your father the gunman

who killed Park Jinhan?

Did he confess everything in front of you?

No.

My father isn’t a gunman.

He didn’t say anything like that on that night.

He begged that guy to spare his life.

He said he only wanted to live

for his daughter.

That’s all he said.

Park Yungang pointed a gun at him

and threatened him.

What are you talking about?

I didn’t threaten him.

Why did Park Yungang do such a thing?

I don’t know.

He’s never shown his true feelings to me.

He was always Hasegawa Hanjo to me.

Therefore I don’t know who Park Yungang is

or what he thinks.

That’s enough. You can go now.

Sorry.

Neither you nor I can have

Yungang anymore.

Hyewon!

Hyewon!

Yungang.

Park Jinhan wasn’t a traitor. He was set up.

Under Jeong Wonho’s lead,

Son Taeksu committed perjury.

The letter submitted as evidence

was forged as well.

Is this true?

Answer the question!

Yes, it’s all true.

I came to the Investigative Bureau

and forged the letter.

I copied Park Jinhan’s handwriting,

and wrote a letter

which set up Regent Heungseon.

Who asked you to do that?

Go to the Investigative Bureau,

and forge a letter.

That would be...

Choi Wonsin over there.

Now, it’s your turn.

Is what he said true?

I’m asking you. Is what he said true?

No.

I have nothing to say to you.

If you have anything to say,

say it in front of His Majesty.

Hold on!

Choi Wonsin!

If he’s proven to be the gunman,

what will happen to you, Min Yeongik,

who took a bribe from him.

What are you talking about?

If the dosa tell the truth tomorrow,

I’ll reveal it in front of everyone.

How dare you!

I’m not asking you for the impossible.

All you have to do

is let me have a talk with him.

What are you doing here?

Are you planning to confess everything?

I guess you believe His Majesty’s word

that he’ll protect you.

How dare you!

Don’t do anything stupid.

If you tell the truth,

you’ll be executed as well.

You’re also involved in Park Jinhan’s case.

I don’t think His Majesty will protect you.

I don’t want to hear it.

You’re the one,

who sent a gunman to kill me.

Sorry.

I apologize for trying to kill you.

But I want you to think about it.

If you confess everything here,

and get out of here alive,

do you think you’ll be safe forever?

What are you talking about?

From the moment you leave this place,

you’ll be a target for the Conservatives.

However, if you help us tomorrow,

I’ll vouch for your safety.

What do you think?

Will you choose the king

or the Conservatives and me?

Son Taeksu, a guard from the Police Patrol

brought the letter.

Judge Jeong Wonho and I took care

of the case according to the law.

That guy just admitted

that he forged the letter.

He’s a con-artist.

Don’t listen to him.

I’ve never seen him in my entire life.

Sir, what are you doing?

I wrote down what you asked me to write.

Your Majesty, no one saw him

entering the Investigative Bureau.

Sir!

Your Majesty,

these two are contradicting each other.

We can’t make a decision like this.

Tie both of them up.

One of them is lying.

I’m going to examine them,

and find out who’s telling the truth.

Your Majesty, what do you mean?

Did you forget what Park Jinhan did?

He was trying to set your father up.

We’ve already closed that case,

but if you deny the results of that case,

your true intentions will be misunderstood.

I’m not denying anything.

I want to reveal the truth.

We haven’t found out anything.

That’s why I want to question them.

You can’t do that, Your Majesty.

Have you already forgotten

why I had to be exiled?

Because I tortured the suspects

to get confessions.

Now you’re trying to torture them yourself?

Why don’t you stop examining them

and announce your verdict?

No, Your Majesty. You can’t stop here.

This is the last chance for you to clear

Park Jinhan’s name.

If you push them a little harder,

they’ll tell you the truth.

Please don’t give up here.

How dare you raise your voice

in front of His Majesty?

Your Majesty, my father died

while fighting for you.

He died while being loyal only to you.

Please don’t abandon my father.

Please reveal the truth.

Your Majesty, you can’t break the order

that you set up.

If you break it once,

you can’t recover it again.

Please stop questioning them, Your Majesty.

Please stop questioning them,

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Okay.

I’m ending this questioning session.

There’s no evidence to prove him guilty,

release Choi Wonsin immediately.

Your Majesty!

And execute Park Yungang, the traitor.

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!

Your Majesty!
