My Lord, I'll be there.
It's fine now.
Please wait... Please wait a bit longer.
What are you doing? Hurry up and arrest the criminals!
Father! Over here!
Over here! Over here!
This girl! You really came!
What are you doing? Attack!
He's not on their side.
He's not?
What are you doing?
You rascal, running off by yourself!
Father!
Father, are you all right?
I'm completely fine. There's no need to worry.
My horse! Hey! That's mine!
That's the horse that I like.
Father. I'll come right back. You go on and fight well.
Go!
So Baek! So Baek!
What is this sticky substance?
Stop!
You've had a good workout of your muscles. Let's quickly make ourselves scarce.
I'm sorry.
I need to catch a horse thief.
Go.
You good-for-nothings, are you not getting up? Get up!
A prison break? Then Lord Bongsa Choe...
We didn't expect that fellow Choe Won to collude with a bandit.
That fellow Choe Won has a sick daughter, doesn't he?
My Lord.
I have something to report.
What is it?
I must clearly explain it.
I'm in the midst of catching a serious criminal. We'll talk later.
My Lord! My Lord!
He isn't a serious criminal. Lord Bongsa Choe isn't a murderer.
You say he's not a murderer?
He's not.
What are you doing, not following me?
My Lord! My Lord! My Lord!
My Lord! My Lord!
Lord Bongsa Choe. My Lord...
Am I not wasting your valuable time?
You're not.
It's indeed the blood-red colour that I wanted.
No matter how I teach Grand Prince Gyeong Won, he can't produce this colour.
Why has Brother left the palace?
To stay out of things.
If something dangerous happened to you,
to whom would the arrowheads point?
Such a young child actually wanted to be a taste-tester for you.
This is all my fault for giving birth to him as the Crown Prince's brother.
He doesn't know when he'll see blood,
so he doesn't even dare to look at the colour of blood.
If I knew it was going to be like this, I wouldn't have given birth to him.
Queen Mother, how can you say that?
Brother is incomparably precious to me.
Your Highness, something big has happened.
The treacherous criminal Choe Won who is to be beheaded has broken out of prison.
Why did he do that?
- Orabeoni. - Where is Rang? (Orabeoni - older brother)
Aren't you scared the Royal Guards will find you here?
Where do you get the galls to do that? Why would you break out of prison?
If you get arrested here, we'll be implicated as well.
Where's the physician?
He said she has always been sick,
and to suffer such a big blow, he doesn't know whether she can wake up or not.
I'm going to take Rang with me.
- What? - What?
Her body has always been weak and you're being pursued.
How are you going to take her?
Orabeoni.
I'm going to take Rang to a safe place and then cure her.
Orabeoni!
It wasn't easy to find the treatment. She'll die without me.
I can't leave Rang to die like this.
What exactly are you going to do?
Then take me with you too.
Make me become a slave or just kill me.
What's good about dying? You should live, no matter what.
Endure it a bit longer.
I'll definitely prove that I'm innocent...
The horse that the criminal rode is here.
- Search! - Yes.
Get out! Get out! Get out!
Ho Dong! Ho Dong!
Are you all right? What is this?
What is with the wound over here?
What to do? It must have hurt.
Stinking horse thief, you're going to get it.
Ouch, my bottom...
Didn't you boldly buy this at the black market?
You could exchange your life with this.
But you personally threw this precious powder box at me.
Let's assume.
As long as your brother who is to be executed tomorrow can be saved,
the tears for this bit of powder won't be regarded as anything.
Would it be like that?
If it's not, then forget it.
You should come out now.
Holding your breath in such a narrow space,
you'll really run out of air.
I'm so nervous.
You can't! It's all my undergarments inside.
The criminal has escaped! Catch him!
The criminal has escaped!
It's that fellow. The horse that he rode...
Stop! Stop!
Ho Dong.
I'll definitely catch that horse thief and teach him a lesson in the future.
So you must endure the pain and gallop with all your might.
- We can't be caught. - Stop!
I'm sorry, it wasn't that fellow.
- Let's go! - Yes.
Where did your brother go?
Is that what you should be asking me?
Even if I know, I won't tell you.
You wrench.
You won't tell me, even if you know?
Fine. Let's see how long you can keep to those words.
He took the child with him after all.
He definitely needs a horse.
The Jang Eastern stables is the closest horse stable from here.
- Let's go. - Yes.
If you want to go to the nunnery, you must leave the capital tonight.
- The criminal is here! - The criminal is here!
That's impossible.
How can he, when he is carrying his daughter.
Unless he's crazy, how can he go to the rooftops.
He is crazy.
He has gone crazy because of his daughter.
- Go and search. - Yes.
He's over there!
After him!
He's over there.
After him!
- After him! - Yes.
Rang.
The criminal has run towards the forest!
- This way. - Yes.
Pouch... I don't have my medical pouch.
My Rang is a good girl.
Open your eyes, Rang.
My daughter...
Father?
You're Father, right?
Rang.
He shouldn't have gone very far. Search carefully!
- Yes. - Yes.
Starting from now, listen carefully to what I say.
We have to separate now.
I'll definitely come back.
You must listen to your aunt.
When those ajussi's get here... (Ajussi - older man, uncle)
I'll... definitely come back and find you.
- Catch him! - Yes!
I'm okay.
Just pretend that this is a big needle.
If I hold you back... will you die, Father?
Catch him! Quickly!
My Lord, you have to be safe.
You must be safe.
Is there still no news?
There's no news.
Father...
Mother... Grandfather...
You must let him return to my side.
It wasn't me. I didn't kill Do Saeng!
You better give up.
Don't come over. I told you not to come over!
I really didn't kill him!
Father. Father.
Father.
- Search carefully! - Yes.
I don't see the criminal.
The criminal is definitely dead.
The corpse should have already floated down towards Anam.
It's still very warm. This was just vomited.
There are no masses, it's just liquid.
And there's the taste of gastric acid from the stomach.
That means it was vomited on an empty stomach.
He hasn't eaten or drank anything in the prison, so this must be his vomit.
I'm sorry.
I should have been there quicker to deal with it.
No, how can this be your fault?
Eunuch Hwang.
Yes, Your Highness.
Go and notify the Royal Investigation Bureau.
I need to personally see the Royal Investigation Bureau's Inspector.
Why did the distance between the footprints become so close?
Wait!
Stop.
- It's good, right? - He kicked it.
You have to stand there.
It doesn't seem like you to be so hasty.
I said I would plead to your father to let that person go.
You said that and you also said that I'll have to accept the abdication.
I feel that the abdication is too hasty.
So, are you saying...
you helped him escape from prison?
I originally wanted to save him, even if I have to break the prison.
Crown Prince.
But...
I'm incompetent and I couldn't help him.
As the cornerstone of a nation who is going to ascend the throne in the future,
how can you help a criminal escape from prison?
There had already been rumours of collusion between the late Jo Gwang Jo's rebel party and you.
You can't.
Your father who originally had a weak royal body,
is worried if that rumor becomes true and
is worried that you'll be framed before you even ascend the throne.
He has been trembling in fear everyday, hasn't he?
Can I get you to empathize a bit with your father's feelings now?
If you're saying that now is not the time to abdicate the throne,
instead, please personally eradicate the rebels that follow Jo Gwang Jo yourself, Crown Prince.
Then, you will be able to have countermeasure against the rumours Crown Prince...
Queen Mother!
How could you say this in front of father?
Why are you like this, Crown Prince?
As your mother, did I say something that shouldn't be said?
I'll take my leave first.
You should let go of this position.
We shall do it this way.
Really... Do I really have to do this?
Accepting the abdication isn't the issue...
not accepting it will be treasonous...
Before dying, he wrote the word for turtle on the floorboards of the Restricted Library.
The character for turtle?
I'm going to the Restricted Library.
His daughter?
She will be sent away to serve as a slave. Currently, she's at the Royal Investigation Bureau.
What?
Right, that's how it is.
By the way,
someone informed earlier that the Crown Prince is looking for you, My Lord.
Before you return to the Royal Investigation Bureau, please make a trip to the palace first.
His Highness, the Crown Prince?
I'm sorry. He ought to have been arrested.
I'll definitely arrest and deal with him according to the law of the land.
Was there really no turtle character at this location?
There is none.
Can I believe in those words?
There's definitely nothing.
You must capture him, and he must be captured alive.
And when he is arrested, you must report it to me right away.
I'll do it that way. But, Crown Prince, that fellow...
As you surmised,
I want to save him.
If I can't save him, if I really can't do so,
I'll apologise to him for leaving him to die.
So, you definitely cannot return with his corpse.
So it's no ordinary kind of relationship.
Yes, Crown Prince. I'll let you say your apologies.
But... what's with the non-existant turtle character?
There'll be trouble, if he's caught alive.
Aren't you ashamed of being nicknamed Red Demon?
You can't have that fellow arrested and he is even making a fool of you!
You better wake up!
If you can't have him arrested, you won't be safe either.
I'm not talking nonsense.
Lord Bongsa Choe really isn't the murderer.
How dare you come here and shield a treasonous criminal!
Hurry, get lost!
I have proof! So, please let me see His Lordship, Inspector Lee Jeong Hwan about this matter!
Don't allow her to come here again.
- Yes! - My Lord!
My Lord. My Lord!
We have to treat the chief. Let's hurry up and go.
The one next to Father. It's the horse thief.
I know. I know.
In future, I won't mention anything about Father.
But... why is my father worth only 200 nyang while the horse thief is worth 300 nyang?
Why is the arrest of the horse thief worth 100 nyang more than my father's arrest?
Young Lord, the Chief is worth at least 100 nyang more.
That's right! It was only 100 nyang previously.
No! This gets on my nerve!
That stuff that's sent to the palace is the most precious, isn't it?
Compared to my father who stole that, that horse thief is even worse?
What exactly did he steal?
That fellow stole your horse, Ho Dong.
Omo... that's right.
He actually dared to steal my Ho Dong. He really is a bad person.
A real bastard!
You deserve death, horse thief!
Instead of letting the royal guards arrest you, I should catch you first.
We have to catch the bastard who reported the chief first.
That's right. The bastard who made my father wanted for 200 nyang should be caught first!
Kkeok Jeong... let's go together.
I'm very sorry.
Please turn around and look.
Shouldn't you buy a straw sandal?
No. It's all right.
Let's go!
Go!
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
Move a side!
Rang! Rang! Are you all right?
Hey!
Let me go! Rang, Rang!
Let go of me! The child is sick.
Rang!
Rang.
Have you gone crazy?
Get up!
My medicine... my medicine!
Rang, Rang!
Bastard!
Are you crazy?
You just escaped from prison. Do you wish to be recaptured?
Please help me with one more thing.
My Rang... Yeong... they can't be turned into slaves.
And if they're rescued,
are you going to take the two of them along and live as fugitives?
That's right. That's what I will do.
That's the only way for my Rang to live.
To get Rang out, you would have to return to the Royal Investigation Bureau!
You said The Royal Investigation Bureau?
Both Rang and your sister have been relegated to slaves by the Royal Investigation Bureau.
You risk your life by escaping from the Royal Investigation Bureau
and now, you want to risk your life by returning to the Royal Investigation Bureau?
That is provided you are a madman.
This madman... please help me one more time.
How could things... how could things come to this?
If I hadn't lost the accessory at the Restricted Library...
Head Female Physician, I'm counting on you.
Head Female Physician. Head Female Physician!
Please help me!
Didn't I say I can't?
I can't bite the hand that feeds.
I must find proof for his innocence.
Please assist in allowing me to personally examine His Lordship, Min Do Saeng's body.
That is beyond my authority.
You will get yourself implicated. Why do you not understand that?
This impudent wench!
What is it you are asking for?
On a case that's even done with the body re-examination!
I still have some doubts. That is the reason.
This girl... what are you saying?
What did I tell you?
Didn't I tell you that you'd suffer humiliation out of ignorance?
What? Ignorance?
This is my seal.
Show this to the Royal Investigation Bureau Inspector when you meet up with him.
Thank you very much.
Hey! Rotten brat! Stop right there!
Wait. Isn't that Jang Hong Dal's adopted daughter?
Like what I say, treachery should have a limit, isn't it?
Wasn't she adopted when she was a palace maid and made into a female physician?
But that female physician whom you treat as a daughter
actually wants to clear Choe Won's name.
She doesn't even think of who framed him.
What exactly is her relationship with that Choe fellow?
What do you mean by special relationship?
It is unpleasant to listen to it.
Please be mindful of your words.
Otherwise...
otherwise, why is she stepping forward personally...
Surely, there must be reasons for it.
Go and investigate.
Yes.
My Queen, what made you summon me in the middle of the night?
Is the Grand Prince living well?
Yes. My daughter-in-law is taking good care of him.
That's true.
After all, compared to me
Grand Prince likes your daughter-in-law who was his wet nurse even more.
Please have a seat.
The aroma of the fragrant tea is really refreshing.
Is that so? Then, I'll personally pour you a cup.
Please don't be overly worried regarding the Grand Prince, Your Majesty.
He's doing fine at my house.
Is my Grand Prince really doing fine at your house, My Lord?
Now that he's no longer in the palace,
did he pound his chest and pound his feet while crying bitterly in front of his brother's icy-cold corpse?
Having been scalded like this, are you awake now?
Jucho wiwang.
Didn't you use to have a clever plan where you rubbed honey on the tree leaves
and settled Jo Gwang Jo in one go?
Please don't disappoint me again.
Your Majesty, I will not forget the feeling of being scalded today.
Please don't be worried again.
Of course. That should be the way.
The aroma of the fragrant tea is really refreshing.
Wait!
This is a corpse of an official from the Astrology Department that was discovered at the Mapo dock.
I've received orders to have it sent to the coroner at the Royal Investigation Bureau.
But I've never seen your face before.
I'm the Ministry of Justice's Ojak.
I heard that all the Royal Investigation Bureau's Ojak have been sent out, so I went on behalf of them.
All right! Go on in!
Thank you!
Aunt, I want to go to the latrine.
Just do it here.
Aunt!
To me, isn't the latrine and here just as bad?
So, just do it.
What is that smell?
What is it? Where did it come from?
You... you're having diarrhea again?
Sorry.
Why are you like this? What exactly do you want me to do?
Really... I'm frightened to death.
Choe... come out!
That... you just remain here.
I'll go over to the slaves' living quarters and bring those two here.
What is the matter?
Nothing... I'm a physician.
I've heard there's a slave who is sick here...
She had diarrhea. She went to the nearby well to wash up.
She's really at the well?
Quickly.
All right.
Must you follow us everywhere?
You thought we like doing this?
Inspector Lee has ordered us to watch you two closely.
Rang, listen good to what I'm going to say.
Here, there's no one to take care of your illness like your dad.
So, you're as good as dead when you fall sick.
Do you want to die?
Then you should try to endure. Endure all the way!
I'm not sick. I'm not sick!
I'm fine... I'm fine... I'm fine!
Don't cry, Aunt. I'll listen to you.
Then, Father will definitely come.
No, your father will not come here. So...
No. Father has promised that he would definitely come looking for me.
He will not come, fool!
If he dares to come here,
the people here would devise all possible ways to use us as bait to have him arrested.
Do you want to kill your father?
Your father will not come. So stop dreaming about it!
Father!
Rang.
Who is it over there?
Father.
You!
Stop!
What brings you here in the middle of the night?
Of course I've come looking for you.
About the charm I wrote for you unofficially before...
Come over here.
You, who is the only son for 7 generations, got me to write a charm for you so that a son would be born.
But what should we do?
I accidentally wrote it wrongly.
I didn't write a charm for a son to be born but a daughter.
And... it's twins.
What?
Inspector Lee has ordered us to watch you two closely.
Have a safe journey.
I... will definitely find out the people who caused you to become like this.
So,
the accessory doesn't belong to Choe Won, but it's yours?
Please re-investigate to clear the name of the wrongfully convicted Lord Choe Won.
Wrongful conviction? That's right.
If someone's name has been wrongfully convicted and need to be cleared,
a re-investigation would definitely be carried out.
Even if I, the Red Demon, cheats behind my wife's back my entire life,
I'll ensure that the innocent is not unjustly prosecuted.
But...
how can I possibly believe the words that you said?
If you are telling lies under the directions of someone...
I'm willing to surrender my life to prove that what I've said is true.
Surrender your life? Are you saying that you're going to bite your tongue to kill yourself now?
How can biting my tongue be enough? That wouldn't even cause death.
This way would allow me to surrender my life in one fell swoop.
Fine. Based on my intuition, you aren't lying.
I'll consider it.
I'll look for you very soon. You can go back first for today.
Is that true?
I'm also willing to use my life to guarantee that I didn't lie.
Thank you! Thank you!
But My Lord...
What else do you want to say?
No. You even want to inspect the corpse.
Don't tell me that you want to intervene with I, the Red Demon's investigation?
Seriously... He doesn't even think of when it is to go the corpse inspection room.
Why hasn't he come out yet?
Seriously... You're making me worried to death.
Inspector.
Aside from the girl being sick, there isn't anything usual.
If there is something abnormal, remember to report it to me first.
I'll report it to Inspector Lee.
Okay. But, why are we going to the corpse inspection room?
I need to go and capture a small thieving cat that has slipped in.
Seriously... I better escape first.
A boat shaped wound.
This is a wound made from being stabbed by a single knife.
My medical knife was stuck in Do Saeng's neck area,
so that is to be expected.
One, two, three... There are a total of 6 wounds.
The bastard killed Do Saeng when he was extremely angry.
Who exactly is the person?
Only the angle of this wound is a bit different.
Why? Why is it that only this wound's angle is different?
Medical knife. A medical knife doesn't have a handle.
So with only a little slip, it'll cause a cut on the hand.
The hand slipped. That's why the angle of the wound is shifted.
That means, his hand will definitely have a cut on it.
-=Next Episode Preview=-
She asked me if the owner of the accessory was you and she even got a shock.
Her name is...
What did you say?
You still haven't put down your attachment to the Queen.
How could there be such an indignation!
We found where that bastard Mak Bong is.
That bastard will die at my hand, right?
Go quickly!
Find Mak Bong, a fortune teller pretending to be blind who sells false identification tags in a back street.
Go immediately!
