What is this?
Orabeoni! What happened? (Orabeoni - older brother)
U Yeong.
Didn't you say that you'll take us away after you clear of your injustice?
He can only clear it, if he has an injustice.
Your brother is definitely a murderer.
That's wrong.
Didn't you say you can prove that you aren't a murderer?
But how can you end up being caught?
What are you doing not taking the criminal to prison?
- Yes. - Yes.
I know who the real murderer is.
The real murderer of Jubu Min is someone else.
The real murderer is someone else.
Then who is it?
Hurry up and answer me.
Did the Crown Prince really hide a treasonous criminal at the Eastern Palace?
What are you doing? Hurry up and answer!
His Highness...
has never done that.
Why did you want to kill Deok Pal?
Please put me to death, Your Highness.
No, I don't want another person to die because of me.
It'd be so much better if I didn't know about this.
I'm worried that you'll die by their hands just like Jubu Min and Deok Pal.
Your Highness.
His Highness didn't hide a treasonous criminal at the Eastern Palace.
So...
the real murderer will have a scar on their palm from being wounded by a medical knife?
That's right.
But you don't have a scar.
Then who has a scar on their palm?
- On Lord Gim Chi Yong's palm. - If it's Lord Gim Chi Yong...
Are you referring to the Right State Councillor, the Supervisor of the Royal Hospital?
That's right.
Please check Lord Gim Chi Yong's palm.
Getting me to go and check his palm...
You actually dare to have me to go and check the Right State Councillor's palm.
Lord Gim Chi Yong wanted to use Jubu Min to poison the Crown Prince,
but it failed, so he killed Jubu Min and then put the blame on me.
Poisoning the Crown Prince?
If you aren't on the same side as them,
please listen to what I say.
I swear on my daughter's life that everything I said is true.
Eunuch Hwang, come here.
Yes, Your Highness.
Do you plan to kill him now as well?
If you are, then do it in front me.
Your Highness.
If you don't do it now, you'll have a lesser chance in the future.
From now onwards, if he is harmed,
then there'll be no doubt that it is your doing.
Let's go.
So,
what do you plan to do with Eunuch Hwang?
If he comes out and says that we were the ones who had instructed him, what are we going to do?
If he wanted to say it, he would have said it in front of His Majesty just now.
That's right.
Eunuch Hwang isn't the type of person to risk his life.
He only helped the Crown Prince, in order to protect his own life.
But,
if Her Majesty, the Queen knows that things have changed...
Then, hyeongnim might possibly become a dethroned Crown Prince? (Hyeongnim - respected older brother)
What is there to be so surprised about?
Why do you suppose I treat you and your hyeongnim the same way?
Then the time spent alone together like this...
You treat me just as you treat hyeongnim.
Do you understand now?
I knew there would be such a day,
which is why I have treated you like the cornerstone of this nation.
Queen Mother.
Your Majesty, the Queen.
Eunuch Hwang sided with His Highness and made a false testimony,
allowing His Highness to avoid the crisis of being dethroned as the Crown Prince.
Aigoo, it's 300 nyang. (Aigoo - oh dear, oh my god)
If he was to be caught just like that,
it would have been better if he was caught when I reported him back then.
Eat it.
You have to eat to live.
I'm all right.
What do you mean you're all right. Your face has slimmed down so much.
Hurry up and eat.
He already said he doesn't want to eat.
That rice ball, can you give me one?
I have to eat in order to live too.
Don't bother about her.
This is her retribution for betraying us and escaping alone.
Are you not going to quickly put that down?
Orabeoni.
Rang...
Isn't here.
I know.
What?
You know that she's at Lord Gim Chi Yong's residence?
No, Rang isn't there.
What? Then...
Rang is living well right now. You don't have to be too worried.
How is she?
I said, how is she?
The Horse Thief keeps worrying because her fever won't go down.
He used a needle this big to prick the child here.
I knew that he wasn't an ordinary quack,
but that was really bold.
He actually dared to take such a big risk on his own daughter.
But it's still a fortunate that she hasn't gone on the road to hell.
Is that so? Then this child is fine?
If she's okay, are you going to raise her?
Where did the father of this child go, that you're treating her here?
That's right. I wonder how the Horse Thief is.
He seems to have been caught.
No.
He's still not back yet, so he has been caught.
Are you saying that Lord Gim Chi Yong used Rang as a hostage to get Choe Won to kill Deok Pal?
That's right.
But Lord Bongsa Choe couldn't accept that type of threat...
Will you not shut up?
Your Highness.
He wanted to save his daughter, right?
So he doesn't even spare a thought for me, right?
No, that's not it.
Deok Pal ajussi didn't die because of Lord Bongsa Choe... (Ajussi - older man, uncle)
Shut up!
Don't ever mention him in front of me again. Never again.
Head Female Physician.
Although the matter of the Crown Prince harbouring Lord Bongsa Choe luckily has managed to be overcome,
the fact that His Majesty has withdrawn the order to abdicate must have
resulted in His Highness, the Crown Prince, feeling down.
So, you too should not raise the matter of Lord Bongsa Choe before the Crown Prince carelessly.
Even then, the misunderstanding must be cleared.
If His Highness, holds the misunderstanding of Lord Bongsa Choe having killed Deok Pal ajussi...
I feel that this misunderstanding cannot be resolved easily.
Head Female Physician, you know as well, don't you?
Deok Pal ajussi could no longer be treated...
As a result, he wouldn't even believe the words that I said.
What exactly was inside that pouch?
Is it the peony flower painted on the paper?
Did you just say the peony flower?
Yes. What is the matter?
Furthermore, His Highness seemed to be stunned when he saw that.
Rang said that the peony is her mother's favourite flower.
Then if you are saying the real killer is His Lordship, Gim Chi Yong,
why did you go to Yangju in search of that hunchback?
And who is the one who wishes to kill that hunchback along with you?
Since he said that, that Red Demon shouldn't be one of Gim Chi Yong's men.
In that case, it's a fortune among misfortunes.
Aigoo. It's such a pity. I'm going crazy!
Since he is going to be caught anyways,
it would have been better if he was caught when I reported him.
That way, I wouldn't have had to cheat that woman
and everyone would be living happily.
You sheep-manure-like bastard.
Is that what a human being would say?
Shut your mouth! Aren't you returning my money?
If it were you, wouldn't you feel wronged?
It's not just 30, but at least 300 nyangs!
The thought of losing that 300 nyangs here
makes me feel such grievance that I even have trouble sleeping!
Someone without knowledge of the real situation would have thought that you had been wronged.
Why was I wronged?
I haven't even had the chance to cheat anyone this year yet.
The investigation has already been completed.
What is the matter, My Red Demon Lord?
By chance, have you been fooled by the mischief of the treasonous criminal?
To say that it's mischief...
Look here.
As Choe Won had said, the wounds here are indeed slightly different, are they not?
Even so...
Seeing this, it means there is indeed some deviation in the angle of the wounds.
With the medical knife not having a handle,
there would definitely be a scar on the hand that slipped, wouldn't there?
Even then, just on the basis of that bloke's statement, how could you suspect His Lordship Gim Chi Yong?
Being suspicious is the baseline of investigation, isn't it?
From the look of it,
the fact that you brought Choe Won's daughter over to serve as a servant,
and the reason for wanting to hastily arrest Choe Won
makes me all the more suspicious.
Is it true?
That bastard, Choe Won has been arrested?
Now, that's really worthy of a Red Demon.
The scandal of the Royal Hospital is finally coming to an end now.
If feels like the pulling of a carious tooth.
Hurry up and have him executed.
However,
this time, while hunting down Choe Won, I discovered a new clue.
What new clue?
Having examined the log book of the interrogation carefully,
the murderer of Physician Min Do Saeng would have a wound on his hand.
So, what exactly do you want to say?
It's a pity that Choe Won's hand does not have that wound.
So?
And,
that disrespectful bastard Choe Won said
there is a wound on the hand of the Right State Councillor, is there?
Have you gone crazy? How could you believe that madman?
Whether I believe it or not, it can only be confirmed after seeing it, right?
Pardon me,
can I take a look at your hand, My Lord?
Inspector!
How could you be so preposterous now?
How could you be so disrespectful before the Right State Councillor...
We'll do it your way.
My Lord!
No!
This is something that I can't tolerate!
How could you even have the thoughts of suspecting the Right State Councillor as the murderer?
Wretch, aren't you going to leave right away?
What are you doing? Hurry, get him out!
Yes!
Let's go.
What exactly are you thinking?
What if you've angered the Right State Councillor?
Some information has been gleaned, hasn't there?
There's a problem... there's really a problem indeed.
What brings you here at this hour?
I've come to attend to matters of the Royal Hospital.
Your Highness, I arrested Choe Won today.
You gave instructions before that his arrest should be reported to you immediately.
That if you're unable to save him, you're sorry for being helpless in doing so.
Wasn't that what you were going to say to him?
Perhaps you would want to meet with Choe Won now?
It's fine. Just lie down.
I'm sorry, Your Highness.
Why are you here?
That... Head Female Physician sent me over to provide him with treatment.
You helped the person who betrayed me.
How can I be at ease in allowing you to take care of him?
Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding.
Misunderstanding?
Yes.
Lord Bongsa Choe really did not betray you, Your Highness.
He really didn't.
Didn't betray?
Seeing how confident you are, your relationship is certainly not the usual kind.
Your Highness.
I don't wish to listen! Get out!
Since he deceived me, he shouldn't have gotten caught.
Your Highness,
pardon me, but what do you mean by that?
Why? Didn't you know that Choe Won was arrested?
A government slave? Just let me go to the gisaeng house.
I sing really well!
What are you saying?
I ask of you. Just let me in once.
Absolutely not.
He escaped from prison previously so any meeting is prohibited.
Just for a moment. Just for a little moment.
What is the matter?
Inspector.
You...
Right... you are here to see Choe Won?
Yes. Please let me see Lord Bongsa Choe.
I've something important to say to him.
Very well. I'm here to see him too.
Let's go together then.
My Lord!
He is a treasonous criminal who escaped from prison before
and there are instructions disallowing anyone from seeing him.
Is that so?
Then, regarding the interrogation of Choe Won,
have him brought to my room.
Come with me.
My Lord!
Didn't I say there are things to be investigated?
You don't know how ashamed am I to see you.
You spared no effort in trying to help me, yet I was arrested so quickly.
How could you be arrested like this?
I've always been praying for your safety.
Didn't you say you have something important to tell him?
Yes.
But must you continue to stand there?
Pay no heed to me.
My task is to monitor closely what both of you are doing.
What do you mean...
This person staked his daughter's life on the insistance of his innocence,
so I feel something isn't quite right.
So,
I wanted to confirm the wound on the hand of Lord Gim Chi Yong...
You really went to look for His Lordship, Gim Chi Yong?
Right, did you confirm the wound on his hand?
No, I couldn't confirm it.
So, I'll confirm that another day.
Today, I want to determine whether the two of you are really lovers.
So, just take it that I'm not here
and just do what you are supposed to do.
There's nothing that I have to do.
So, please escort this female physician back.
No, I have things to do.
Just go back.
I can't allow you to take further risk because of me.
That risk... It's not that I'm not fearful.
Although I'm extremely frightened,
I'm more afraid of you dying unjustly.
And what scares me more is the fact that my incompetence caused you undeserved injustice.
Why can't you understand my words?
If you go on like this,
I will think of asking you to help me every time I encounter danger.
So, for me to clear my name of this injustice...
Regarding this matter,
the Inspector here will think of a solution for you.
The Red Demon said he may live his entire life unfaithfully, but he will never make an unfair judgement.
Inspector, the Crown Prince is here.
Your Highness,
Deok Pal's death must have caused you great anxiety.
If your presence here is discovered by them...
Even if my heart were to be stabbed with the sword,
how can that be compared to your betrayal?
Your Highness, what do you mean...
That's right.
In order to save your daughter, you could only kill Deok Pal.
You could only accede to their request.
Your Highness!
As such, you were only able to betray me and flee.
Right, you are the father of your daughter.
As a father, for your daughter,
even if you were to die... You would even be capable of killing others.
Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding. Your humble servant certainly...
I've not come to listen to your excuses!
This...
No one knows what this is better than you do.
Just because you received this secret order, you then round me up to the corner, didn't you?
Your Highness!
Secret order? What exactly are you referring to?
You still deny it to the end. Didn't you receive the Soyun faction's secret order to kill Deok Pal?
No. I definitely didn't kill Deok Pal.
Is that so?
What else can I expect of you?
The debt that I owe to you and your grandfather in my heart is finally written off.
Ultimately, this is how it ends.
Even the Crown Prince is paying no attention to Choe Won now.
This is getting more fun. Quite fun indeed.
It must have been fun for you!
Arresting an innocent person who is about to face the death penalty...
You are afraid that what you have always confidently believed will be proven wrong, right?
Admitting your own mistake is even harder than dying.
The ajussi guarding the prison
was luckily cleared of a murder charge because I examined the corpse.
He allowed me to meet you for a while, My Lord.
How was it? Was the misunderstanding cleared up with His Highness?
Because of this, the misunderstanding deepens.
I don't know either why Rang has been holding onto this.
Then, I'll ask Rang personally.
Right, where is Rang...
Is she at the mountain fortress?
However, I'm still worried. Would you be able to make a trip...
No. I should not impose on you.
You clearly know I will agree to that request.
By saying that, does it put your heart at ease?
Please face up to reality.
His Highness, the Crown Prince will no longer help us.
There's only 2 of us, you and me, My Lord.
Better yet, please say that because I am here, you feel assured.
This person, really.
Right.
About the Gu (turtle) character that Jubu Min left behind.
That truly points to Deok Pal ajussi, right?
I can't delay further.
Please wait for a moment.
The real killer isn't Deok Pal. You find it strange for the turtle character to be written there, is that right?
Yes, that's right.
Then, My Lord, you too...
You think likewise too, don't you?
Then the gu character
perhaps it isn't referring to Deok Pal ajussi but something else, no?
Now, this child... is she alive?
How could she not budge even once?
You get out of the way.
Don't be afraid.
- Even though my father looks as he does... - What did you say?
How do I look like?
It can't be that she is behaving this way because of me, right?
No, right?
Child, open your eyes. I'm not that kind of scary person.
The fact that you were frightened the moment you saw me
is something that I can empathize with.
So...
This won't do. Get your scary face off.
Child.
Yes. How scared you must have been, right?
You've been seeing the handsome and striking looks of your father everyday.
That fiendish face has already been taken away.
So, won't you quickly open your eyes?
Where is my father?
Father!
Perhaps it isn't referring to Deok Pal ajussi but something else, no?
The real killer
isn't Deok Pal but Gim Chi Yong.
Deok Pal didn't even clearly know who the true culprit was.
The gu character...
could really be referring to someone other than Deok Pal.
Then if you are saying the real killer is His Lordship, Gim Chi Yong,
why did you go to Yangju in search of that hunchback?
And who is the one who wishes to kill that hunchback along with you?
That hunchback is the apothecary of the Royal Hospital, Gu Deok Pal.
Because of the gu character that Jubu Min left behind, I left to look for him.
There was definitely no gu (turtle) character
but Choe Won had seen it.
If all of that were made up,
for that gu (turtle) character Gu Deok Pal, he wouldn't have risked his life going to Yangju.
Then, beside the corpse, was there a bloodstain that was deliberately wiped?
Yes.
That wiped bloodstain was difficult to remove,
I'm not sure how much effort I had to put it.
Then there really must have been a turtle character.
Hey, Won.
Your father has hopes of you remarrying.
How about the female physicians at the Royal Hospital?
Cut the crap.
I have to treat Rang's illness. Where do I have the time to be distracted?
Shouldn't you hurry and find a wife?
If you get married quickly,
and have a daughter as obedient as my Rang,
how happy you would be.
It's like having the whole world.
Yes, of course.
I also have a sweetheart.
Getting married to that woman, and having a daughter borne by her
is how I've thought of living.
What did you say?
Then you already have a woman that you've thought of living together with in the future?
No. I'm not lucid since I'm already drunk.
Getting drunk is a way of getting the truth and you don't look like you are talking nonsense.
I've already said no.
Right, do you still remember?
Our childhood's secret location.
You try to change the subject.
That is our secret location.
How much the Crown Prince wanted to go there at the time...
Don't mention the Crown Prince.
Aren't you the one who led the Crown Prince there?
What is the point of bringing up the past? I've lost my appetite.
I'm sorry.
It's been a while since I've had a drink of wine together with you.
Just allow me to reminisce.
Up to now, I still go to the secret location where the turtle rock is.
You're calling it the turtle rock again? It's the Gu Ryong Rock.
I would love to.
But I prefer calling it the turtle rock.
Hence, nearby the turtle rock,
I've already found a place to live with the woman I love.
Right, the Gu Ryong Rock.
I should hurry and check to see whether your father was caught or not.
My father just won't allow me to go.
Saying that there's danger, but what kind of danger is there?
Your father is worried.
He's afraid of his daughter getting hurt.
But... eonni, are you a woman? (Eonni - older sister)
You look a bit like a man.
Really?
I look like a man?
This is something that I've always longed for.
Eonni, then you...
Right...
Something should have developed down there, but it mistakenly developed up top.
But, child...
I'm not a child, but Rang.
I'm my father's daughter, Choe Rang.
Eonni, what about you?
I'm also the daughter of my father, So Baek.
I want to be at my father's side.
Child, with your illness, where else can you go?
Don't you worry.
I will go out without my father knowing to look for your father.
I will definitely bring him here before you.
As a daughter, it's not good to hide the truth from your father.
Eonni, if you act like that, your father will be very worried over you.
Don't you worry.
My father, just like what you said, is worried that I would get hurt.
But I'm extremely capable of fighting!
That doesn't seem to be something to boast about.
Is that so? I can't boast about it?
Fighting and stealing are the worst things in the world.
Still, you seem to be a good person.
Previously, you let my aunt and I meet my father.
Will you really make it possible for me to meet my father?
Of course.
But don't address me as eonni. Instead, can you call me elder brother?
Elder brother?
All right. Elder brother!
Oh my, oh my. It's wonderful!
I will definitely ensure that you meet your father!
Promise?
However, I'm extremely curious about something.
The thing that your father did...
Why did he do that?
My father's extreme liking for me will make him want to kiss me whenever he sees me.
My illness mustn't be transmitted to my father,
so until I get better,
we've decided to do this.
You're afraid that your father will fall ill?
My father cannot afford to fall sick. Because of me...
he has to give treatment for my illness.
Right. Your father is really...
Elder brother, are you hurt?
It's nothing.
As long as I hear him being mentioned, my heart pounds rapidly without regard.
My Lord!
On the day of the incident, a palace maid named Wol Ha disappeared.
The murdered Min Do Saeng
and Royal Kitchen's palace maid, Wol Ha, are lovers?
That's right.
I, too, heard of it after Do Saeng's murder, from Deok Pal.
If, as you indicate, a handle was gotten over him due to the discovery of his romance with the palace maid,
that means he loved that palace maid Wol Ha dearly.
If he didn't even tell his best friend in order to protect the palace maid,
he must have been deeply in love with her.
Ultimately, for her, he even lost his life.
It's a love that moves me to tears.
By the look of it, Hong Da In is also deeply in love with you, isn't she?
To clear you of your injustice,
she does not even hesitate to risk her life.
No, it's not. That is because, I had treated her illness previously...
But did she really say she would put her life on the line?
Then, it can't be that I am joking with a criminal like you, right?
I'll have to investigate on what you said, whether the late Min Do Saeng and Wol Ha are indeed lovers.
You still don't believe what I said?
I, the Red Demon,
only believe solid evidence instead of believing in rumour and slander.
Please go and find the house nearest to the Gu Ryong Rock.
Do Saeng said he lived there with his sweetheart.
The Gu Ryong Rock?
Please don't ask others to go there. You should go personally, My Red Demon Lord.
Then you're saying it was because of that Royal Kitchen palace maid
that the Soyun faction got a handle on Jubu Min?
That's right.
Then, that palace maid died too?
No.
I received His Lordship, Gim Chi Yong's order and sent men to look for her,
but she was nowhere to be found.
However, as was afraid of being held accountable,
I told the Right State Councillor that she was already killed.
Then they believe that that palace maid has already died, right?
I have to find her, that palace maid.
That palace maid would definitely know something.
Hey!
Is there anyone?
Min Do Saeng's woman is still alive?
She must not fall into the hands of the Red Demon!
Is it true His Lordship, Choe Won will now be facing execution?
That's right.
I came to look for you at Choe Won's request.
We need to go to the government office right away.
I have a way to save His Lordship, Choe Won.
His Lordship, Jubu Min left behind a piece of decisive evidence for His Highness, the Crown Prince.
Decisive evidence?
Yes.
He had a record of all those who were colluding to harm the Crown Prince and His Majesty.
Whether he's the Red Demon or a mantis, (word play)
quickly have him remove his hand from Choe Won's case, and then relieve him of his position!
If it goes on like this, it will be the end if you are caught by the Red Demon, My Lord!
As an Inspector of the Royal Investigation Bureau, he has an extremely strong conviction.
No matter how you attempt to bribe or threaten him, he will not waver at all.
If he really begins listening to what Choe Won said,
the repercussion will be tremendous!
Didn't he already request for the postponement of the execution date from Her Majesty, the Queen?
Is this an ordinary matter?
Of course this isn't an ordinary matter.
Your Majesty, the Queen.
Your Majesty, what brings you here?
I thought the chance for me to come here in person
would not occur in my entire lifetime.
I'm really sorry.
Your Majesty, you could have just written a secret order.
What should I write on the secret order?
Everyone, can I still trust all of you? Is there any point of writing a secret order?
As such, today I came to see Merchant Jang.
Merchant Jang?
Your Majesty, the Queen.
Why would you personally pay a visit to this lowly person?
Merchant Jang, you're the adoptive father of that female physician Da In, right?
Go and wait outside.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, the Queen.
Yes, that's right.
I remember you.
I heard you are His Majesty's attending female physician,
and an outstanding talent who is taking the place of Head Female Physician Jang Geum.
Oh, it appears that
I had seen you not long ago in front of the Eastern Palace.
Your Majesty, the Queen. How... this maiden...
It truly causes me shame.
Not at all.
Occasionally I will treat the servants that I cherish this way.
From now on, you'll serve as a female physician for the Eastern Palace,
and serve the Crown Prince at his side.
Can I not even do this much for you?
Female physician for the Eastern Palace? What do you mean?
I didn't expect that you wouldn't be able to understand.
I've heard that you were a clever child.
Just as I said,
I chose you to be the female physician of the Eastern Palace who is responsible for taking care of the Crown Prince's health.
Your Majesty, the Queen.
With you washing up like this,
the Crown Prince will be bewildered by your charms.
From now on, you need to take the Crown Prince's life bit by bit.
Otherwise,
you will be bathed in your adoptive father's blood next time.
Today's blood-red of the peony petals is just right.
It's truly beautiful.
You've become the female physician responsible for caring for me?
I will prepare another serving of medicine.
It's as if Choe Won wasn't enough.
Even you are leading me down the path of death.
Right, what kind of deal have you made?
I swear that I didn't make any deals.
None? You want me to believe in those words?
Please believe in it.
If you don't believe it, it will be very difficult for Your Highness.
Since I've been assigned to the Eastern Palace,
I will assist you with my deepest sincerity.
No. I'm afraid of you.
- Your Highness. - Didn't I say that I'm afraid of you?
Do not appear in front of me again.
Don't come close!
Today's blood-red of the peony petals is just right.
It's truly beautiful.
That's right.
Peony petals. It's the peony.
You have such an amazing adopted daughter.
She even caught the eye of Her Majesty, the Queen!
My Lord, that child's disposition is naturally upright. She'd rather break than bend.
If Choe Won dies, she'll come to her senses again.
Please allow her to continue being an ordinary female physician.
This is a matter that Her Majesty, the Queen personally attended to.
This matter is already beyond my control.
You better discipline Da In properly.
My Lord!
Then, the palace maid Wol Ha was taken away?
I was one step too late.
Aside from me, who else did you tell about that place?
Please come closer for a moment.
Gim Chi Yong has a spy planted within the Royal Investigation Bureau.
The turtle character in the Restricted Library
was also clearly erased by him.
Clearly, the palace maid Wol Ha was taken away by him too.
Who is he?
It can't be that...
It's Inspector Im Gon O.
What? How could Inspector Im...
Deok Pal said so too.
What? Why only now do you...
It seems you're unable to trust me completely either.
She has surely been taken by Lord Gim Chi Yong.
Please save that palace maid.
She's the lover that Do Saeng bet his life on to protect.
Please, I'm counting on you.
Inspector.
Yes, have you tracked down the whereabouts of that palace maid Wol Ha?
That...
Inspector, your superiors have ordered
that you be relieved from handling Min Do Saeng's murder case.
What?
The execution of Choe Won will be carried out as planned.
As the Red Demon,
would I request for the postponement of the execution without rhyme or reason?
You convey this to the superior.
I'm unable to withdraw from a case with so many dubious points.
Instead, a re-investigation will be carried out.
That's right. Grandfather, you are the one who called my father a quack, right?
Grandfather, are you a physician?
He is really a physician,
albeit, the real quack.
My father isn't a quack.
I finally know why you called my father a quack now.
In the eyes of a quack, he will be quack of course.
- Right, this child is as smart as Kkeok Jeong. - Yes!
Hey, have you come alive now?
I'm alive and kicking indeed.
Have you seen my pouch?
Pouch? What pouch is that?
In it, there is a drawing of the peony flower and my pills.
We didn't see it. What kind of peony flower drawing is it?
At that time when my grandfather passed away,
I picked it up from his room.
Elder brother, when is my father coming?
Elder brother? Why are you addressed as elder brother?
What?
Compared to being referred to as eonni, I prefer to be addressed as elder brother.
Don't be like this, Father.
I've already made a deal with the child.
Shall we just save the horse thief one more time?
Do you think that your life is as strong as the muscles of an ox?
If you die, I'll die too, girl.
Go out.
If you don't care about the fate of your saviour,
aren't you the same as a bandit?
Yes! I'm a bandit.
There has been an order to transfer Choe Won to the prison.
Make preparations to leave.
Yes.
What is it?
Why is my orabeoni being transferred?
Is he really just going to die like this?
Transfer?
Inspector Im just dragged my orabeoni away!
Inspector Im?
Right.
I forgot to bring this bastard's investigation journal.
You retrieve it and bring it over to the prison.
Yes.
Let's go.
This is not the road to go to the prison, isn't it?
Whether you go to the prison or here,
you will still die anyway.
What do you mean by that?
Why? Why are you like this?
I'm just following orders to transfer this treasonous criminal.
But this fellow attempted to escape.
So,
instead of transferring him to the prison, you want to kill him quietly?
Answer me!
Who ordered you to kill Choe Won?
Father, what is this that you are doing?
You think it's only the horse thief who is an idiot father wishing to save his daughter?
I, Yangju's Iron Hammer, too
cannot watch on as my own daughter heads towards death.
That's right!
Precisely! I have an ill premonition of this, rotten girl!
I didn't have a good night sleep.
Then what? If I don't see the horse thief again
it feels as though this here is going to stop!
Precisely, girl!
Of all the people it could have been, you had to take a liking to someone with a child...
Oh...
Aigoo, this...
Father! Don't die!
Aigoo.
- Rang! - Father, don't die!
Father! Don't die!
Rang, it's father.
Open your eyes. I'm here.
Are you all right?
Father!
My daughter is having nightmares indeed.
Father, please don't die.
You and I shall continue living together for a long long time.
Okay. You and I will live together for a long long time.
I really hate those super baddies who want to have you killed father.
Rang, don't spout such words from your beautiful mouth.
My daughter is really great. You can even overcome the fever.
Yes, I'm great.
Even when that kind of narrow-minded ajussi with a scary disposition speaks to me,
I can still reply with full vigor.
Me?
Of course.
Who's daughter are you?
My Lord,
I have something to say.
At that time when he left, it wasn't difficult for him, right?
I'm sorry.
Though I said I would definitely save him...
It's his fate for it to be that way.
Please give a name for this child.
Do I qualify to do that?
Yes. You definitely do.
You brought this child into this world.
All right. Then, I'll think over it carefully.
And, my husband once said this.
It looks like the gu (turtle) character that was left behind by Jubu Min
wasn't referring to him.
What do you mean...
Jubu Min
didn't like people teasing my husband as Deok Pal the gu (turtle).
He also said that teasing my husband as a hunchback
is not something that a person should do.
Given that he was that kind of a person,
how could the gu (turtle) character that was left behind possibly be referring to him?
Then,
is there really something the Gu Ryong Rock?
It's the Gu Ryong Rock. The Gu Ryong Rock.
- There... - The Gu Ryong Rock?
There is weapon hidden in that place that will leave us cornered?
Die!
It was clearly this place.
Nothing.
There's nothing.
Did I guess wrong?
Your Highness, the Crown Prince,
this is a confession from your humble servant. Arising from orders from the Soyun faction,
I committed a crime of great indignation by serving you a poisonous tonic.
Should I meet with something unexpected and am unable to protect Your Highness,
all the evil instructions given by the Soyun faction over the years
have been recorded in my confession letter that I leave behind
as well as the medicinal decoction prescription that was given to harm Your Highness.
This is my last effort in trying to protect Your Highness from further harm.

The pitiable Crown Prince...
In this world, who would expect in their heart, that this would be plotted by their good friend.
My Lord, I've placed you into a dangerous situation. I can't go to your side, My Lord.
Get your father out of here immediately!
You are such an asshole!
My Lord.
-=Episode 10=-
- I already told you several times that it isn't me! - Shut up!
I already said no!
Your Highness.
