[Episode 14]
Stop!
What do you think you're doing?
Dam Seo, what are you doing here?
Father...
Are you up there?
Go.
I'll ask you about it later, so leave for now.
Hey!
Father!
Father, Father...
Wake up, Father.
Father!
It wasn't me.
How could you do that to my father?
It wasn't me!
I will find out.
I will find out who really did it and why.
Master!
How dare you feign innocence?
Get him now!
Get him!
Murderer...
I won't let him get away with it.
I know we've pledged loyalty to Baek Dae Gil.
But I do have some doubts.
Six Ghost was killed after his gambling room was taken.
It seems like Baek Dae Gil has another motive besides the gambling rooms.
Do you think Gol Sa is dead too?
Everyone!
Gol Sa is dead.
Gol Sa?
Is Baek Dae Gil the culprit?
But how?
Baek Dae Gil's brutality will not end here.
He will soon be arrested for murder.
Then there will only be two people left to manage Mapo's rights of commerce.
It will be either Gol Sa's daughter, who knows nothing of this world, or me.
It's only us two. What do you think?
Who wants to join me?
If not!
You say you saw the killer?
Yes.
It was Baek Dae Gil.
I'm very late.
- Are you finished? - I'm fixing it.
- Do I look all right? - Very good.
I apologize, Your Majesty.
Why are you so late?
Our morning report to the king is already ending.
What happened to abolishing the the license ban on smaller merchants?
The license ban...
I told you to bring me evidence.
As for the evidence...
I had passed that over to Kim Chang Jib.
Your Majesty.
I received the accounting book containing the
corruption of the merchants and ministers.
I looked over the records.
The evidence did not hold value, so I destroyed it in a fire.
Lord Kim Chang Jib...
The evidence was lacking.
So, for this matter brought up by His Highness, Yeoning...
I believe it is only right that we drop the issue.
Lord Kim Chang Jib.
What are you doing?
We worked so hard to retrieve those documents and you burned them?
For lending you a hand with the Hansung Regional Office
you made a promise to me that the rest would be in my hands.
But, that was--
If you are leaving it in my hands, you must do so entirely.
What is your reason for doing this?
It is for your sake.
For my sake?
You are the pillar of our Noron faction.
You cannot fall for a mere license ban on smaller merchants.
For my sake... you are holding me back?
Isn't that a contradiction?
Your Highness.
Do you think abolishing that law will make the Soron faction fall?
Yi In Jwa...
Do you think you can put a demon like that in prison?
You are mistaken.
You will end up getting hurt.
I cannot accept this.
In the end...
It was the will of Her Highness, Sukbin.
Crown Prince!
What did you just--
I said it was the will of Her Highness, Sukbin.
Why would Mother do that?
Do you really not know?
If that law were abolished
the officials would point their arrows at you.
In the end, you would end up hurt.
Crown Prince, you must stop Yeoning.
Your Highness, Yeoning cannot be hindered.
I cannot stop him on my own.
Lord Kim Chang Jib.
If you care about Yeoning...
there is a way, Crown Prince.
What is that?
You need to meet with the king.
Ask him to give Yeoning his position back.
After that, I will take care of everything that happens next.
You should stop now.
Then I will restore you back to your former title.
Father has already agreed to it.
What are your true intentions?
Do you want to help yourself become king or not?
Yeoning will get in your way.
Why not just leave him be?
Even if he runs around like crazy and dies...
Crown Prince, it would not be bad for you.
I am his older brother.
Yeoning is also a loyal subject.
I no longer want to oppress him. I want to restore him to his position.
Yet, still...
I cannot understand this.
You must give up something in order to gain something else.
That is politics, Your Highness.
Mother, how could you get involved in my affairs?
What kind of mother stands by while her son puts himself in danger?
If you go up against the court ministers
you will not survive.
Yeoning.
Are you planning on losing everything like this?
Even if I lose everything, I will do it.
- I have to do it. - Please!
Please stop.
I am asking you as your mother.
I am asking you, desperately, as your mother.
I do not have many days left to ask these things of you.
I'm saying that these could be the last of my lectures.
Mother, why would you say such a thing?
Her illness has progressed too far.
There's not much more we can do.
What are you saying?
If it were for you, Mother, I could give you my life.
However, I cannot stop now.
Are there rats because the storerooms are rotten?
Or are the storerooms rotting because rats are getting inside?
Minister.
How much do you know about Yi In Jwa?
I am amazed by you.
Did you meet Lord Kim Chang Jib yourself?
What kind of power would I have to move to mighty Lord Kim Chang Jib?
The Crown Prince and the king who stand across from Yeoning...
Sukbin and the Northerners who worry about Yeoning...
Their hearts were consistent on this.
Yi In Jwa, you are quite something.
Oh, by the way...
What do you plan to do with Baek Dae Gil, who took Gol Sa down?
You have lost one of your legs, haven't you?
Do you think I would let that happen?
I have taken over all the Mapo traders and merchants that Gol Sa once managed.
And Baek Dae Gil will soon be in prison.
You're not here to play a round. So what is it?
Where's Dam Seo?
Why would you look for her here?
Is she back?
[Hwang Jin Ki]
What do you want?
I said, what do you want?
Let him by.
Who is this?
This is Baek Dae Gil.
This is Baek Dae Gil...
Baek Dae Gil.
I have some business with him, so go on without me.
Where is Dam Seo?
What do you mean, Dam Seo?
What are you saying? You're not the one who sent her?
Dam Seo is back?
Dam Seo showed up at Gol Sa's scene of death?
How could word travel so fast?
It was you, wasn't it? Gol Sa--
It was you, Baek Dae Gil. You killed Gol Sa.
Dam Seo is not here, so leave.
Dam Seo has returned.
I will no longer serve you, Teacher.
I will follow my own path.
I will go my own way following my own beliefs and convictions.
Dam Seo...
Have you seen Dam Seo?
Dam Seo killed them.
Seosomun's Six Ghost.
Mapo's Gol Sa.
So, what will you do if you find her?
You know. You know where she is.
There was a temple that Dam Seo went to often.
If she has returned, she will most likely be there.
What?
What do you mean Gol Sa is dead?
Is that true?
I am very sure of it and also--
I must see it for myself.
It was done with a sword, but he definitely knew martial arts.
Baek Dae Gil.
I am sure that it was him.
Did you see it with your own eyes?
I saw it... with my own two eyes.
I will ask you one more time.
Did you see it clearly with your own two eyes?
Did I not tell you that I saw it?
Arrest him immediately... right now.
This case...
I will take it over.
[Office of the Inspector General]
If Yeoning makes a move, do not get involved and watch over him.
Tell me what you're curious about.
Six Ghost and Gol Sa... did you kill them?
Did you come to ask or to confirm?
Would you believe me if I told you?
Six Ghost devoted his life to committing evil acts.
He deserved to die.
Gol Sa.
He had done his share of misdeeds.
I wanted to give him his judgment.
But... it wasn't me.
If it wasn't you, then who was it?
Even though I've told you the truth, I see that you don't believe me.
Unless you plan on reporting me, you should leave.
How...
How did you get this way?
What happened to you?
You'll find out soon too.
About the reason your father died.
And the reason why Teacher hasn't killed you.
When you get to a turning point, you'll have to make a choice.
Just like me, who left Teacher's beliefs.
Will you stand by him and walk together, or face him and fight him?
You'll find out soon.
Dae Gil, you're the king's son.
Seol Im!
Where would she go off to with just one shoe?
We have to find her... Are you alone right now?
You haven't seen Seol Im?
Seol Im?
[Cutter]
Don't turn your back on me.
There's no use in waiting.
No one will come looking for you.
I left a letter.
A letter?
Dae Gil, thank you for everything.
Stay healthy.
I'm sure something happened.
Why else would she leave behind one shoe?
Grandpa, I'll go look for Seol Im.
You wait here.
Where are you going to go?
Running away now would make things much worse.
Arrest Baek Dae Gil now.
Yes, sir.
Your Highness? Why are you doing this?
Has Dae Gil committed a crime?
Just as you expected, Yeoning is in charge of the case.
Baek Dae Gil has been arrested.
If he is convicted of the crime, he won't be able to avoid death.
I am very curious.
I wonder what expression Sukbin made upon receiving my gift.
What?
He has committed murder?
Is he in prison?
They say you should strike while the iron is hot.
I am going to gather the majority of the Soron faction.
As well as the Mapo merchants.
My lord, are planning on actually killing Baek Dae Gil?
He has a longer lifeline than you.
Do you think he would die so easily?
What will you do, King?
Your own blood is about to die.
Baek Dae Gil... has committed murder.
Yeoning has arrested him.
The fact that the two brothers have met...
It can't be purely by fate.
My goodness.
That Yi In Jwa...
That lowly bug dares to do this.
Is he trying to provoke and attack me?
Or does he have some other plan?
What happened?
Tell me.
But... it wasn't me.
I didn't kill him.
Can I trust you?
Can you swear it on this sword that the king gave you?
I can swear it even without that sword.
If that's true...
that means someone killed Gol Sa and framed you for it.
Is there anything you saw or someone who got away?
No, I didn't see anyone.
Do me a favor.
Do not do anything and wait quietly.
No matter what I have to do, I will find the killer.
Even without this sword...
I, too, believe you.
I did not see you.
Dam Seo, I didn't see you.
Did you really... witness the murder?
I did not see the actual moment he killed him.
Then how...
Because I am certain of it.
I am certain the killer is Baek Dae Gil.
Did anyone break in or enter from outside?
Perhaps...
the window was open.
Well, the window was open.
So, someone could have entered through the window and killed Gol Sa.
There is a chance that Baek Dae Gil is being framed.
All the evidence points to Baek Dae Gil.
Why are you defending Baek Dae Gil, the primary suspect?
Baek Dae Gil... I trust him.
They say you get betrayed by those you trust most.
This is the gambling card that my father was holding until the moment he died.
If Baek Dae Gil is not the killer...
why was my father holding on to this card until he died?
I promise you.
I will make the one who killed your father pay for what he has done.
Mother...
Admit to your crimes now!
I can't admit to a crime when I haven't committed any.
I do not kill people.
He still hasn't come to his senses.
Keep going!
Stop now!
Your Highness, he is a murderer!
Get out of my sight before I rip your limbs off.
Your Highness!
- Get out of here. - Yes, sir!
My child.
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
Your Highness.
Tell me.
Did you really commit murder?
No, I did not.
Then why did you end up here?
Your Highness, why are you doing this?
I heard you are Yeoning's friend.
His only friend... in the world.
Who has done this to you?
Who has framed you as a murderer?
I have someone I am suspicious of, but I cannot be sure.
Tell me who.
He is called Scholar Baek Myun.
Yi In Jwa?
Did he do this to you?
Do you know Yi In Jwa?
I will never forgive him.
No matter how...
I will end his life!
Just a little longer.
Endure a little longer and wait.
Your mother will make sure to protect you this time, no matter what.
Year of the Rooster. October 13th.
Whose horoscope is this?
It is not something you need to be concerned with.
What is your birthday?
Is that important right now?
It is important.
I think I heard I was born in October.
October, Year of the Rooster.
And the day?
I don't know. I've never celebrated birthdays.
I have no interest in it.
Why are you suddenly asking that?
Because it's my first time seeing that.
I have never seen Mother fly into such a rage.
He's the same age my dead older brother would be.
They were born in the same month, as well.
Baek Dae Gil.
Are you possibly...
The king's movements are not normal?
Yes, my lord.
What do you mean?
After Baek Dae Gil was imprisoned
he called in the executive, defense, and justice ministers.
Then the finance officer, inspector general, and research officer.
He even called in the three top level ministers
and asked about your movements, my lord.
Tell me now.
There's no way of knowing how deep the roots of Yi In Jwa's atrocities go.
You are the highest level ministers.
How can you have nothing to say?
Exactly whose subjects are you?
The king is drawing his sword.
He realizes that I'm behind the framing of Baek Dae Gil.
He has to create the right atmosphere by working up the ministers.
Then he plans on coming after me.
My lord, that is dangerous.
We haven't even begun our plan yet.
I don't know about that.
We will know when the time comes.
Your Majesty, please save him.
All of this...
These are all rumors from the Soron faction
asking for death for Baek Dae Gil.
It's like this inside the palace.
I can imagine what it's like outside the palace.
Even you could not control yourself.
Why are you so restless?
Arrests of murderers and torture happen all the time.
Is that a place that you should have gone yourself?
- But, Your Majesty-- - That child...
He has already grown up.
You do not need to get involved in everything.
He has grown up now.
You know that too.
Whether he dies or lives...
I will take care of it.
Do not get involved anymore.
Do you understand?
You'll get hurt.
If you get involved any further...
you will get hurt.
Give me your hand.
You're not even feeling well.
Make sure to lock your door well.
Do not wander around... ever.
Do you understand me?
Yes... Your Majesty.
Father.
Follow me.
You...
Do you want to catch Yi In Jwa?
How do you know that, Father?
Then, catch him.
That is very sudden.
I don't need to hear your reasons why.
What reason does a tiger need for catching a fox?
You just need to catch it and rip it to shreds.
It's a hit!
I am...
giving you a chance.
I don't think I need to be involved in catching someone like that.
Bring him.
The one who will be your hunting dog.
Baek Dae Gil.
What is Kim Chae Gun up to?
[Kim Chae Gun]
Is someone talking about me? Why is my ear so itchy?
It's time for us to all rise up.
For the past 20 years
I will rise with my comrades who have been hiding in the eight cities!
[Moo Shin]
Send a message to Wolhyanggak's shaman.
Tell her I have arrived.
Yes, my lord.
King...
I came here to confirm it.
I want to hear it from your mouth that you killed my father.
Think about it carefully.
You must be overlooking something.
Someone who would profit from Gol Sa's death...
or someone who takes orders from him.
If that's not it...
It would be someone who would profit from putting me in prison.
Gol Sa was holding something in his hand before he died.
A gambling card.
Baek Dae Gil.
This is clear evidence that it was you.
No.
Now, I know who it was.
The card Gol Sa held on to until he died points to one person.
Before me, the one person who was able to beat him at his card sound trick.
What are you doing?
If you're here, you should come in.
Cutter.
What brings you here?
Let's not resent each other for this.
Cutter.
And do you have evidence that Cutter was the killer?
I'll have to find evidence starting now.
Are you trying to get out of this without any evidence?
Do you want to believe that it was me?
No matter who did it, your father died so you must resent me.
You probably want to reclaim the gambling room that I took too.
If not that...
are you afraid of Cutter?
You must not know.
Cutter is not a mere gambler and card shark.
He is a killer for hire and the leader of a group of assassins.
Lower status people are 100 nyang.
Regular, good citizens are 200 nyang.
I heard noble status is 500 nyang.
A level 6 government official is 1,000 nyang.
1,000 nyang?
I have given up my life savings.
Please just kill him.
So...
You're going to stand by and do nothing because you're afraid of him?
No.
It is only your speculation that he is the killer.
You are accusing Cutter of being the killer.
Then you will kill him like you did my father and Six Ghost.
I'll say it once more.
Unless I see definitive proof, you are the killer, Baek Dae Gil.
I will not change my mind on that.
I will change your mind on that.
What's going on?
I have come to release Baek Dae Gil.
Your Highness, how can you release a criminal?
Didn't I tell you?
I am a very lucky person.
As for an apology...
I will do it after I catch the killer.
Choi Yeon Hwa.
Have you arrived?
I have gotten my hands on the rights of commerce of Mapo.
How should I show you my thanks?
This is all because you killed Gol Sa and got Baek Dae Gil imprisoned.
Gol Sa?
What kind of game are you playing, Scholar Baek Myun?
Isn't it your job to kill for money?
Gol Sa lost to Baek Dae Gil today.
That means Baek Dae Gil will gain the rights of commerce to Mapo.
That's not something either you or I want to happen.
This isn't hard for you to handle yourself.
I'm not an assassin such as yourself.
Well, then... I'll leave it in your hands.
Oh... you know that girl who was with you?
I think she has been staying with Baek Dae Gil.
Did you know that?
It is possible that Baek Dae Gil may pay you a visit tonight.
How could a person in prison do that?
He's a hunting dog that the king has released.
What relationship does Baek Dae Gil have with the king?
The relationship is deep.
Besides that...
I have called in a visitor on your behalf.
It will be very hectic tonight.
Do you even understand what I'm saying to you?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Before the night bell rings between 9 to 11 p.m.
I will catch the real killer.
Yeoning.
Yes, my king.
What if he cannot complete the task?
How will you take responsibility for it?
Did you not volunteer to take on this case?
You should take responsibility.
Everything...
I will lay it all down.
Everything?
Do you even remember... the discussion that we had before?
Can you... give up your life for that friend?
For the people...
can you give up this throne?
Just know this.
If you cannot do that, then he is not your friend.
He is not one of your people either.
I am keeping that in mind.
Your Majesty.
Is that so?
So, you are...
You will lay everything down.
That is interesting.
If you cannot catch the real killer
Baek Dae Gil...
As soon as the sun comes up tomorrow...
you will be punished by death.
Keep that in mind.
Yes, Your Majesty.
You will be alone this time.
Do you think you can do it?
Your Highness.
You're not just taking a cut this time.
You're sneezing on the food without even touching it.
Take this.
Between 9 and 11 p.m.
If you are even a moment late--
I won't be late so do not worry, Your Highness.
Oh...
I remembered.
I don't know why you're curious about it.
My birthday.
Year of the Rooster. October 6.
Year of the Rooster.
October 6.
The birthday of my prematurely born older brother.
Baek Dae Gil.
Are you actually...
my older brother?
You came quickly.
