Here.
The culprit of this case is hiding here.
One of us has to bring back the accounting book tonight.
The accounting book that contains the name of the person who stole and sold my Forbidden City
Would you please secretly call in the royal forces?
This won't do, Daemul.
I'll hold off the officers, so you have to go warn them.
We received a report that there was a burglar in the storage room.
I called.
It seems there's a burglar in the house.
Over there, at that storage room.
You must catch that burglar!
Your Excellency!
Are you saying right now that you can't trust the Ministry of War's royal forces?
My storage room...
is not merely a storage room.
If the storage room gets burglarized,
the people who will get hurt are not us,
but Your Excellencies.
Sungkyunkwan Scandal
Who...?
It's me, Wang Seobang.
The bear. Talent performed by the bear.
Kim Yoon Shik?
Did he get caught? The burglar?
Don't worry. "A rat caught in a trap."
Is a saying used at times like these.
Let's go!
Because I heard that the royal guards are coming...
They wouldn't let you in unless you're a marketplace merchant, so...
I had no choice...
Really...
You outperformed your talent.
Thanks to you, I do not know where the hard-sought....
accounting book went missing.
That accounting book.
Is this it?
Your hand?
Did you get hurt earlier?
That storage room...
contains the record of all our past dealings.
What do you mean a record?
A record of our loyalty served to Your Excellencies.
What?!
This is...?
That's too dangerous.
If we get caught, it's dangerous either way.
If anything goes wrong here,
even if the King gets involved, it might be impossible to save you.
Don't you know?
You're saying there was no one in the storage room?
Yes.
Except for a punk who was rolling around with a gisaeng.
Rolling around with a gisaeng?
The gisaeng at the storage room is not one of our girls.
These girls are all the gisaengs....
from Moran-gak.
Search the storage room again.
This time, catch not only that guy, but also the girl.
Yes, sir.
Father!
We'll talk later.
Since all the wealthy marketplace merchants were gathered here,
I thought we might get our hands on a heavy chunk of money.
That's what I'm saying.
Our Cho Sun hyung-nim who met her lover lucked out alone.
What do you mean meeting my lover?
Young lord Kim Yoon Shik,
you didn't see him?
Oh, that's strange.
I definitely saw him in front of the gate.
Since he couldn't be found,
I thought he was having a great time with you.
It wasn't so?
Daemul is here?
No, no! Aigoo, aigoo!
They must have already gotten away.
If they escaped from this storage room,
it's the back gate. The back gate, Your Excellency.
Hurry to the back yard and catch the enemies. Now!
Yes, sir.
Father.
Go catch them.
If anything goes wrong, there will be no tomorrow for us, Norons.
Wait.
Find the guy and the girl. Now!
Yes, sir. Let's go.
Oh, no!
Why are you so angry again?
The rat caught in a trap.
Did it get away?
What happened to the bear who performs talents?
H-hurry...
Hurry on down.
They couldn't have gone far.You must catch the girl and the guy.
That way!
Stop!

Did you...
Did you take pity on me?
In this late night,
And on top of that, coming to me dressed like that despite the danger,
was it because I'm weak and foolish...
and because you didn't think I'd ever make it on my own?
In other words,
did you offer your hand (help) because you felt sorry for me?
Because you believed that if anyone gave me his hand,
I would gratefully accept it right away?
Lee Sun Joon...
Really, you!
I did not take pity on you.
As it wasn't for you.
At first, I thought it was a waste...
of your talent.
Then later,
I needed you.
If I made a friend,
I thought it would be nice if it was you.
It's just that....
I didn't know how.
Since it was my first time.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Kim Yoon Shik.
Kim Yoon Shik.
You jerk.
I...
tried so hard.
I tried so hard to control my feelings.
Really...
It was all my fault.
So...
stop crying.
Why are you alone?
Aigoo.
I knew it.
Geol Oh, you blocked the road.
And Daemul threw his body.
What do you mean Daemul threw his body?
Where is that punk?
Hey, friend.
I am Gu Yong Ha.
You think I would have left a pretty kid like him in danger?
Senior!
Dae... Daemul?
It just happened this way.
Let's talk later.These girls and I will take care of it here.
You go ahead first.
Daemul, that kid,
exceeded my expectation.
I knew he was a pretty one.
But dressed like that,
wow...
even my heart fluttered for a long while.
Foolish punk!
How could he do something so dangerous?
Dangerous?
What was?
You were the one who pushed him into the merchant head's house.
didn't Daemul use the safest method to help rescue Lee Sun Joon?
What exactly was dangerous about it, Geol Oh?
Why aren't they coming?
Say it! Who's the girl who came in with Lee Sun Joon?
How would I know that?
You think I don't know that it was a joint project between you and Yeorim?
With lowly gisaeng girls like us,
were you guys someone who could do something together?
You noblemen?
If there's anything else you want to tell me,
come visit Moran-gak.
As a customer carrying money.

They're all here.
It seems they didn't touch the record books.
Take them all.
Yes !
Sir!
What is the reason for keeping this kind of record?
Sir!
We're....
businessmen.
We need to keep record of transactions...
How dare you as lowly merchants!
Did you believe you can manipulate us with these records?
Forgive me, You Excellency!
Take them all and burn them!
Not a single book must remain behind!
YES !
In order to find the person who sold the goods,
then we're going to be busy tomorrow.
According to the accounting book, it must be someone who lives at Banchon (university town).
Do you think we can find him?
And on top of that, in just one day tomorrow.
It's still there...
There's still a little lipstick...
Better?
No...
Here.
Here?
Better?
Here?
Pathetic!
If you were going to struggle with even doing that correctly,
why would you even start such a useless thing?
Better?
Take a look !
Is it still not gone?
Stop pacing.
Aren't you getting dizzy?
You! Are you sure?
Are you sure that those two punks got out of there safely?
Seeing is believing !
Look over there.
Is it now gone?
It looks like you worried for no reason
worried....
who was worried?
Since they're back, let's get going.
Senior !
Oh sunbae, you're badly hurt. Are you okay?
Shouldn't you go see a doctor?
Be a man!
What's with the overreacting!
Sunbae.
Ahhh...there, there, there.
You finish off what you started over the long night.
Oh, Daemul,
did you succeed?
I must know the reason.
On why Lee Sun Joon secretly entered the merchant head's house.
It must mean that the evidence to catch the culprit...
must be at that house, Student President.
If so,
you must know what to do next?
Using whatever means necessary,
I'll impede them from catching the culprit.
That's not the answer.
Impeding is not enough.
You said not to be interested in finding the culprit.
I have no interest whatsoever, President!
I must have annoyed you again, President.
That's right!
The culprit...
we'll find him first.
Yes?
So that Kim Yoon Shik will never find the real culprit,
take pre-measures.
Found it.
There's nothing more to see,
because I found the culprit.
Really?
Who is it?
It's someone who lives at Banchon (university town).
We have the answer.
You punk, so much bluffing!
There's more than a handful of people living at Banchon.
Of those living at Banchon,
someone who frequents Sungkyunkwan without raising suspicion.
You mean a family member of one of the helper kids?
Exactly.
Even so, it's not right to suspect someone heedlessly.
Look at me.
It's not heedlessly.
Subtitles are brought to you by the Scandalous Team at Viikii.net
You saw, right?
Go to bed early.
Tomorrow morning, we'll search every nook and corner of Banchon...
That punk who stole my Forbidden City,
I'll certainly catch him.
This time I'll find him for sure.
President.
This little punk must be crazy. So late at night...
Why does his face turn so white, like a thief who stole food to eat?
Center Room 2?
Subtitles brought to you by the Sungkyunkwan Scandal team @www.viikii.net
Sunbae,
that isn't your usual sleeping place
My usual sleeping place is this whole room.
So go to sleep
Didn't you say that you don't like lying next to a Noron?
Offering meal.
Aish.. Really! It cannot be like this!
They shouldn't try to lie to Gu Yong Ha, who possesses the absolute taste, over such a small thing.
How many times have I told them that when making soup stock, ___ beef is the best with its succulence.
Ah, I'm not going to eat!
Hyungnim, you eat it all.
I'm going to go to Ban Chon first.
To find him.
Sit down!
Finish eating first.
I'll dump you in Banchonif you were to say you're hungry.
If that child leaves Banchon, won't that be trouble for us?
Due to yesterday's events, he won't show his face in Woon Jung Ga. I have to make good use of time.
Really... Are you thinking of becoming a thief?
Not eating in the dining hall but only scoring a point for showing up.That is a point thief.
The price Yang Young Go pays for one meal of yours
is a goodly sum that will buy 2 days' porriage for 2 people in Hye Min Seo (medical facility for the poor).
Isn't that a tax thief?
I thought you were going to Ban Chon?
I'm going to eat ALL this food before I go.
It's Ban Chon. Ban Chon.
The lead that they found is that the real culprit lives in Ban Chon.
And there was some incident between them at Woon Jung Ga yesterday.
Ban Chon and Woon Jung Ga...
Ban Chon... Wouldn't that mean a page boy is involved?
Probably.
But there are more than one or two page boys at Sungkyunkwan...
From where, and how are we going to find him, President?
Young master!
Really very united. United.
How can he be unrecognizable from such a detailed drawing?
Normally they remember even neighbors' wives' monthly cycles.
Forget it.
The poor are protecting one another.
I honestly did not know that the alleys of Banchon can be that poor.
Half of them feed themselves by selling meat, no better than Beck Jungs (untouchable butchers) really.
The other half are servants at Sungkyunkwan. At being poor and ill-treated none can surpass them within the four gates of the city.
Therefore, they had no other choice but to sell stolen goods?
A crime is still a crime.Any excuse or reason does not free them from their crime.
You're great.
Not even a half day remains until the royal exam.
If this continues,we might not be able to prove Kim Yoon Shik's innocence.
Now, don't we need a different strategy?
Different strategy?
He has no mother or father, and he's living together with his hyung.
By the way, about where Bock Dong lives, why do you...?
This is the heavens helping me. I need to do something good to pay back my dues.
The accounts book from the black market has only one mention of a Ban In, a person from Banchon.
This is the first time in a while that a theft has occurred in Sungkyunkwan.
This means that this fella is not a habitual thief.Did he suddenly have a need for money?
It might be possible that something happened at home and he was in a dire situation.
Wedding, move, funeral, and memorial rites... What can it be?
There must have been an item among Shi Jeon (government approved market) merchants' goods whose price soared and commoners could not afford.
A product that he could only get by bartering at the black market.
Goods of which prices that have increased over the past 15 days are...
Salt... and hemp (worn at a funeral).
The page boy who had a death in the family recently...
That would be Bock Dong's mom!
But why are you asking me this all of a sudden?
Give your greetings. This is the student president of Sungkyunkwan.
Next time don't act like this.
Running away implies that you admit to your crime.
It wasn't me.
I said it's not me!
That's right.Just like that.
It's definitely like that.
You've never stolen anything from Sungkyunkwan. Right?
You just need to keep this a secret and the money will be yours.
Why are you being so good to me?
This is a deal.
because you need money and I need your silence.
Reveal nothing
and you
will get the money two days later.
Ahh...there...
Run away, hyung!
Run away!
They came to capture you, quickly run!
What?
So...
you want me to confess before the King.
Why should I?
Do you have evidence proving that I'm the thief?!
And your little brother, Bok Dong.
Still need other evidence?
What are you going to do if I won't do it?
Will you capture me and hand me over to the police?
You people are only Sungkyunkwan students.
ah you little punk, what do yo...
I see that your eyes look pretty good.
What can you people do to me?
This place is Ban Chon.
The Ban Chon in which lies Sungkyunkwan.
That the royal guards can't come in here to capture me, you guys know very well.
You...
How can you be so unashamed?
What did I do wrong?
Aren't you guys all... going to become government officials
who bully the commoners?
No...
Even now, aren't all of you Sungkyunkwan students
eating food made with the people's blood and sweatand reciting whatever words of Confucius?
I just want to get a portion back from you.What wrong is there?!
Even so,
your crime of stealing others' goods and selling them
doesn't lighten.
Then, what am I suppose to do?!!
I had to give my mother a funeral.
All her life, my mother
has never taken any good medicine.
Sending her off without ever having seen a doctor,
breaks my heart.
Never even got to wear any new clothes,
while working so hard all the time.
I can at least clothe her in hemp clothes...
for the last time.
I couldn't buy it.
Using my own abilities, no matter how hard I try,
I can't buy it paying the full price at the marketplace.
what should I do?
Are you saying that people without money or power
can't be treated like humans?
What kind of world...
is like this?
You still want me to help you guys?
Go away.
People like you who were born under rich noblemen,
can suffer a little.
However, this case-
Forget it.
Let's just...
Let it be.
Are you just going to leave like this?
What else is there to say?
What he said is true.
Kim Yoon Shik.
That boy...
is similar... to who I used to be.
Back then I fortunately met Lee Sun Joon,
and gained an opportunity to be here like this.
If that hadn't happened,
I might be standing in his place.
The young fellow sure knows how to appreciate money.
Until tomorrow has passed, it looks like that boy will keep his mouth shut, president.
Then now,
all that's left isfor the King to expel Kim Yoon Shik personally.
She kept insisting that she needed to come greet you Sir.
In order to seek forgiveness for my bad manners earlier...
I heard that you two were meeting...
I'm here today despite my impudence.
Father-in-law, forgive us.
You'll pay for your past bad manners,
with your impudence today?
I'm sorry my lord
Although I'm lacking, I will learn and follow your family's customs so as not to be a disgrace to your family.
He only knows how to read books.
He has no skills in understanding women.
When it comes to women, he's never had a sister or a friend.
So it's naturally expected.
Really?
Truly...
I will remember, father-in-law.
He's totally scary, totally scary!
Beo Deul, you must present to me a Chinese language instructor.
Why the Chinese language all of a sudden, Miss?You have more than a hand full of stuff to learn as is.
Sewing, cooking, and even _____.
Forget it! Soon after my lord takes his civil service exam, we'll go study abroad to Qing dynasty right away.
Living together with him, I'll...!
Within one day, I'll ascend as Shin Sa Im Dang (historical figure known as the model wife and mother),And the very next day I'll descend as a living corpse.
Frightening! Frightening!
Who can stop Miss?
But Buh Deol...
there's something I noticed...
What is it, young miss?
You're going back and forth like some sick person, and scarying me.
His eyelashes look like my young lord's.
Ahhh, it's so cute, so so cute!
After this incident,I switched the head of the merchants....to Merchant Cho
Merchant leader Song....
is quite a foolish man.
????
Why didn't he know?
What can we do when businessmen's ability is limited to just that?
You mean to tell me you joined hands...
with people whose ability is limited to just that...
in handling matters of the country?
Is that what you suggest, Minister of war?
My apologies, my lord.
Something like this will not happen again.
However,
there is someone who said he saw your son at the merchant head's house.
Yes. I thought he was just inflexible,
but I was glad to see that he seems to know the ways of the world.
As his father, I'm hearing news about my son from others.
I am...
I'm this kind of person.
It's not like we are unrelated strangers now.
At any rate,
all those accounting books
have been seized by me
and burnt before my eyes, so you dont have to worry.
In-law.
This...
What is this?
The bribes Shi Jeon merchants
paid to the government officials watching out for them.
It contains detailed information on that.
Daemul, you
have stirred trouble.
And this is the reason
why I can't persuade that kid further
to appear at the royal exam.
What kind of rubbish is this?
It is fine to be framed and expelled.
Is that what you mean?
I'm not clear either, but
one thing that is clear is that
as long as this sort of books are being kept,
kids like Bock Soo won't disappear.
And in order to clear my name
that I should point the finger at him,
What's the meaning of that?
And whether I have the right to do so...
I...
really do not know anymore.
Huh, that Daemul, he really has
a strange talent of confusing people.
Aigoo.
You...
can only do so much?
If you were going to give up so easily,
why did you come here to Sungkyunkwan in the first place?
Sunbae.
Who do you think you are?
For being no better,
I'm sorry sunbae
Hey Ga Rang!
There's no need to be so worried.
Daemul that fella doesn't know what trouble he has created.
He took it out only because he was angry.
Ayeee...his guts are really Daemul.
There is no need
to try so hard.
I'm fine
Aigoo!
Lee Sun Jun's hurting right now
Left State Minister's name won't be anywhere among those of the Noron officials in the accounts book...
But the one that all those names are pointing to, in the end isn't that the Left State Minister?
I wonder what he plans to do? With that accounts book.
What do you mean what to do with the books?
No matter what base things he did,
A father's still a father.
A son's still a son.
That...
is the dirtiest.
That fellow
really resembles how I was like in the past.
What do you want me to do?
I couldn't buy it.
Using my own abilities, no matter how hard I tried,
I couldn't pay the price and buy it at Shi Jeon.
What could I do?
Money earned from taking care of the Shi Jeon merchants
will all eventually become the Norons' political funds.
What kind of world
is this?
I...
have never thought of Joseon to be that great a nation.
As long as this sort of books are being kept,
kids like Bock Soo
won't disappear.
The royal exam is tomorrow and
the real thief must be hiding between the pages of library books.
Or else,
you mean to admit to your guilt?
I am not guilty.
Even if the real culprit cannot be found,
The fact that I am innocent
will not change.
No,
Kim Yoon Shik, you
are guilty.
No matter how you've felt the people's pain and suffering,
if you don't have the ability to solve this problem,
that official is guilty.
Incompetent to the point of not being able to clear your own name,
Han Sung Bu intern, Kim Yoon Shik,
you are of course guilty,
deserving to be expelled.
Girls.
Girls do not have the qualifications to be government officials. You said this before.
But Professor,
this is even more strange.
Why is Joseon, this nation, in such a state?
Hasn't it always been
governed by men who are qualified to be officials?
What?
I got it right.
I thought that you will be here.
Say it.
What you want to say.
I plan...
at tomorrow's royal exam...
to call the real criminal to the stand.
That, of course,
was the king's order from the very beginning.
I think the real culprits
should be these people.
But, if something can be started using these books,
I feel
that person is not me,
but you, Scholar Lee Seon Joon.
Is it because of my father?
Which is why
I might make other choices.
I...
might disappoint you.
Even so...
I
believe in you, Lee Seon Joon,
more than I believe in myself.
You have always been working so hard
With a stern face...
always talking about rules and laws.
The truth is you're striving...
to be a good person.
You will do that this time as well.
If it's a decision made by such Lee Sun Joon,
I think it'll be the right answer.
Even if that road...
is not the answer I thought of.
That weakly and pretty-looking guy,
he's been wrongly accused.
When it comes to being wronged,
you should know very well.
Is it not?
Eavesdropping will become a habit if you keep doing so.
Same with running away.If you keep doing it, it'll become a habit.
There was someone who always said this to me.
Don't cry all the time. If you keep doing it, it'll become a habit.
Don't lie.If you keep doing it, it'll become a habit.
Don't run away.
If you keep doing it, it'll become a habit.
Who was that?
My older brother.
I used to have one too. A very fiery tempered older brother.
His words were right.
I kept repeating his words,
and one day it became my habit.
How much longer do I have to listen to this crap?!
Younger brothers...
always imitate their older brothers like that.
How do you want this kid to turn out later?
A petty thief?
Or a coward?
Get lost! You're not going to get lost?
Who do you think you are to say this?
You still have a chance.
To live like an upstanding person.
That chance.
I'm lending it.
It should be enough to pay back for the stolen goods.
I can just take the money and run away.
No way.
Not when this kiddo is watching like this.
What is the nature of the matter that brings a man of good conduct like you here
against the rules of the school?
There's something I want to ask you, Father.
To a scholar who carries the world on his shoulder,
the most important thing is his principles.
If anything blocks that road, a true scholar should be able to forsake even his own family.
Father has always been
telling me that.
Even now,
do you believe so?
Despite my lacking, I too have strived to follow you, Father.
This is something to be thankful for.
Father...
To continue to live following your will,
Is it a good thing?
You made a needless trip.
You are my son.
You have never disappointed me so far.
It will be the same in the future. I have not doubted this as a father.
You didn't know?
A filial son is nice to look at, but makes the worst husband material.
Will he go study abroad to Qing dynasty?That well-known filial son, Lee Sun Joon!
If a man chooses his parents over a girl,
then isn't there a problem with that girl as well?
Beo Deul, you talk so funny.
In one shot, I'll... swoosh...
grab my lord.
How?
With him,
spending a night together.
Exam time! Exam time!
Hey, Daemul !
Found the real culprit?
About that...
We're sorry we couldn't be of any help.
But we were made extremely busy at Han Sung Bu.
We didn't even have time to look into your matter...
In the words of Confucius, it goes like this.
Goon Ja Bu Dang.
A wise man doesn't merely side with his friend.
Hence, I...
Sunbae!
Hey!
If your friend is talking, it's manners to listen to him till he finishes.
Goon Ja Bu Dang!
Have you seen Scholar Lee Sun Joon?
No.
Did you see him by any chance? That Banchon kid?
No.
Did you fail to find the culprit?
I ask of you, Kim Yoon Shik.
The culprit who stole and sold the goods from Sungkyunkwan,
did you fail to find him?
The real culprit could not be found.
That person will come.
Does that mean the culprit has been found?
Please give a little more time.
He will definitely come to confess.
If I may speak so, Your Majesty,
The testing period for the exam ended yesterday.
If he still has not found the culprit at this time,
what else can it mean but that he failed the test?
The Student President is right.
Scholar Kim Yoon Shik failed to find the culprit in the allotted time.
Isn't it?
I apologize, Your Majesty.
The real culprit
is already here.
The real culprit behind the theft
Here...
Is in this accounting book, Your Majesty.

Even if you compensate for the stolen goods,
there's no way to repay for the crime.
That punk belongs to the same category as you.
Idiot!
An idiot who lost his head.
Why ask?
The current trend is the eastern dorm where the Jalgeum Quartet resides.
What you don't like, I don't like as well.
It's not against the rules?
Lee Sun Joon will never in a million years go just with you two alone.
What are you imagining?
Why? I intend to watch him closely.
From somewhere very close.
