I never expected RADE to be a Korean.
There are Koreans.
What?
RADE is not one person.
It's an organization.
Asian members are in charge of Asian art.
The case of "The Little Bouquet" was investigated by Europe team.
There must be lots of members.
Nobody knows how many people we have.
We don't know each other's nationality.
That's that.
Anyways, we were on to Keumkangsando even before Han Sang-hyun sent us the email.
We got on to it the moment we saw that video of yours.
We did send the email,
but I feel a little hopeless.
I don't know how to go about this.
The best solution would be to reveal the fake one and the real one at the same time.
Or we just need one of them.
Either one will help us reveal the truth.
But Professor Min burned the real one.
Do you really believe that he burned it?
Are you sure about this, Chancellor?
When it's listed as a national treasure after the showing,
that piece will be forever remembered as the real Keumkangsando.
And we'll be leaving a giant lie to the world today and the future.
What's with you again?
Don't bring up another word about this, got it?
Hey, let's just go for a drink.
Ma'am.
I don't think it's up to us to decide which one the real one is.
If the people feel something after seeing the art,
then that must be the real piece and the truth, don't you think?
And an art specialist at that...
would burn the real piece?
Then...
are you saying he made a fake one and burned it?
Only he knows the truth,
but I think it was the fake one.
Anyway, if the real one is safe and sound like I presume,
we have to find out where it is.
Its exact location.
Once we do, we'll be able to attack Professor Min in whatever way we like.
I've been playing jokes on him for a while.
Via texts and letters.
I'm sure he's pretty anxious, so if I aggravate him a bit more,
he may take extreme measures.
And we gotta get him when he does.
But...
Why are you revealing yourself to me and sharing all of this?
Because I want to.
I have another question.
Were you the one who...
helped my kid with his drawing at Pyeongchang
and send me a postcard?
I'm not sure.
My son's drawing was posted on RADE's blog.
I'm not sure.
It was you, huh?
You were the one, right?
No.
Then, do you know who it was by any chance?
He might appear in front of you again.
Yes, captain. I did as you asked.
You should've met her yourself instead of making me reveal my face.
She was very pretty by the way.
All right.
I'll keep an eye on her and give her the info she needs.
Okay.
Take care!
You said RADE thinks that the real Keumkangsando hasn't been burned.
Do you think it's true?
If...
Professor Min has the real one,
do you think Director Seon and Mr. Heo knew about it?
If this keeps happening, when will this world ever change?!
In 10 years?! 100 years?!
Stop complaining about it and help me fix it!
You just need to trust me and follow me.
For how much longer...
and how far do I have to follow you?
Who is it?
It's Mr. Nam!
What are you doing here?
What brings you here?
Is this...
That's right.
It's the real Keumkangsando.
I took it from his back room.
Professor Min...
didn't burn the real one.
So he really didn't.
That snake.
But...
why are you giving this to us?
Just once...
For once in my life,
I wanted to clear my conscience.
I've lived my life as trash.
I'm sorry for everything.
What?
Really?
So you have the real one with you?
Yes.
It's right in front of us.
That was unexpected.
I did not see that coming.
We have to plan this out really well.
It's important that we have the Keumkangsando,
but setting up a trap for Min Jung-hak and his people is more important.
Then,
what do you think about this?
The owner of Keumkangsando is the actual artist.
But the person who protects it gets switched.
Take me to the school.
Hurry!
Where do you think Keumkangsando is right now?
Professor!
I mean, Chancellor!
It's gone!
Where's Mr. Nam?
He's not here yet.
I haven't been able to contact him since last night!
Find him right now.
And check the security footage to see who entered this room!
Yes, sir!
It must be Seo Ji-yoon.
Seo Ji-yoon, that bitch...
I'm sure Professor Min is about to lose it since the Keumkangsando is gone.
Right.
You told me last time that you've been sending messages to him.
You said he may take extreme measures if you push him a bit more.
That's why...
That's a good idea.
I'm sure he'll take irrational actions since he's in a hurry
and create loopholes.
Answer the phone!
How many calls has he made?
I'm sick and tired of him.
This is RADE.
I received a report about the real Keumkangsando.
I need you to explain.
If you don't adhere to my request,
I'll post all the files on my blog.
We need to go somewhere right now.
My hands have never shook during a restoration work.
Why am I so nervous?
Stop whining and focus.
Oh yeah!
Ji-yoon!
Look at this. I almost forgot.
You remember this, right?
This thing.
Why do you think this was in the Sujinbang diary?
I don't know...
What's this?
The material and the geological features are from the same period as the diary.
But if Saimdang wrote it, then it should be in Medieval Korean.
It's a poem called "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning."
It's written by a 16th century European poet, John Donne.
I really love that poem.
I deciphered all of the content, but it mentioned nothing about that poem.
I'm going to go put up another camera. Hurry up and clean this up.
Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet.
A breach, but an expansion.
Like gold to airy thinness beat.
(Reading Chinese)
Guys!
Mother!
Life is like a flower that blooms just once.
The heaven and earth are like one big tree.
It will fall off the tree after it blooms.
There's no reason to be sad
or scared.
It was your choice to choose life.
And accepting death is my choice.
Coming into this world is to have life.
And returning to where we came from is death.
There's no reason to cry over fallen leaves.
This was my choice...
to protect you.
The moon is about to wake up from its nap.
The moon was napping?
What an interesting expression.
The Sun resents the moon that
sleeps all day and wakes up later at night.
The sun doesn't know
how hard it is for the moon to keep the darkness away alone at night.
The sun doesn't know that the moon is keeping its side.
Saimdang.
I can die without any regrets now.
Because the three days we spent together at Gold River Mountain
will forever be in my heart.
Gyeom.
Gyeom!
I'll receive the punishment.
I'll go to prison in your place.
If they tell me to give up everything and live in exile, I will.
I'll gladly receive a death sentence.
If that will keep you safe,
I'll do anything!
If I had listened to you from the beginning,
this would've never happened.
I didn't study like you asked me to and just wandered around.
I'm sorry for what I put you through.
You've been through a lot
raising someone who wasn't even your son.
Every dark spot and every wrinkle on your face...
were all formed because of me.
But the only thing I can do for you now is...
to say that I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry!
No.
All you need to do is stay alive.
No child should die before his parent.
That can never happen.
You can't leave before me.
No.
No Gyeom!
You can't.
I'm sorry...
Saimdang has returned home?
She was at the Gold River Mountain.
What about Lee Gyeom?
We're looking for him everywhere but...
You're not letting him go on purpose, right?
Your Majesty.
How could I dare to do such a thing.
Lady Shin, Saimdang...
Put that wench...
under house arrest.
She must not take a single step, make a single movement,
or go outside
until I have ordered her to do so.
I will carry out your command.
Lee Gyeom...
I'm going to make you lick my foot
and beg for forgiveness.
My lady!
Why are so many of you guys here? Who are you?
What's going on?
Lady Shin, Saimdang will listen.
We have found evidence of malpractice in the confiscated ledgers.
You are not to leave your home until the investigation is complete!
What is he saying, Mother?
There's no way you would've received bribes.
Hold on!
With those charges...
That means Hyun-ryong can't take the State Examination!
No way.
I ran a clean business at Yangyoo Paper Production Office.
Did you not hear me?! Surround her home!
Yes, sir!
My dear, what in the world is going on?
I can't believe this!
Your Highness.
His Majesty has put Lady Shin under house arrest.
What about Uncle Lee Gyeom?
There's no news of him yet.
Mother.
Sun.
You'll catch a cold. Come inside and go to bed.
Why are you still up?
I can't fall asleep.
What is going on here...
I'm very sorry about what's happening.
It's all my fault.
Why are you apologizing?
You didn't do anything wrong.
Father is the one who should be apolo...
Sun.
My Sun...
you've grown up so much.
Don't worry.
And go to sleep.
Okay.
You should come inside and sleep too.
Okay.
Who's there?!
There's no way.
How could Lord Lee Gyeom put a sword against His Majesty?
How could he...
What are we going to do?
He became a criminal because of me!
And you expect me to just sit here?
It's not the right time.
I think His Majesty is trying to use you as a bait to catch Uncle Lee Gyeom.
I'm going to figure out a way out of this.
If my uncle comes here,
tell him to go into hiding for a while.
Are you okay?
Everything is going to be taken care of, so don't worry.
You just need to hide away for just a little bit.
This can't be...
Because of me...
Because of me, he's...
Our promise to paint together at Gold River Mountain...
can we carry it out right now?
No...
Uncle!
Uncle, what are you doing here?!
You need to go into hiding!
Lady Shin was put under house arrest too.
How could this be happening?!
Hey.
How many years have we known each other?
What?
I've put you through a lot over these years...
I'm sorry about that.
Do you remember?
When we got caught trying to climb over the wall at the geisha's home and almost died?
Of course I remember.
We were very immature and stupid.
But I have no regrets.
As men,
we were brave and bold.
I liked the times we spent together
whether we were climbing over walls or just acting recklessly.
Although I'm related to the King,
I have nothing.
I'm a nobody and I don't have any talent.
But I was able to live like a human being thanks to you.
Hu.
You're not a nobody or a fool without any talent.
You're the most kind man in Joseon.
So don't say that.
Here.
I have one last favor to ask you.
I will go to prison.
Lady Shin...
Please take good care of Saimdang.
Uncle.
What are you talking about?
You'll walk into prison yourself?
You have to run and hide as fast as you can!
Uncle!
Come on, pour me a glass.
Your Majesty.
Traitor Lee Gyeom came to prison himself.
What will you do with Lady Shin?
What is it this time?
Shin Saimdang.
After the investigation on the corruption in the Yangyoo Paper Production Office
we found no concrete evidence, so.
His Majesty will release you from the detention.
So she's free, right?
You say she's a traitor, and soon you release her again...
They can't make up their minds...
Where are you going?
We don't know when they'll change their minds again! I'm going.
Hey, don't run... You're pregnant.
Come on!
Yes, sir.
By chance...
Is Lord Lee Gyeom back?
He turned himself in.
He'll probably be sentenced to death for treason.
He's here!
What happened to my lady?
Fortunately, she's been released.
And Yangyoo Paper Production Office will go back to normal.
What happened to Lord Lee Gyeom?
He's... a bit...
What did he do? He doesn't deserve to be treated like a traitor!
The king's making up a crime and blaming it on an innocent man! He can't do that!
This has happened so many times!
Hey. Be quiet.
Shouldn't we go back and stay by her side at a time like this?
Yeah, let's go!
Why did you come back?
To receive the death sentence.
Stop!
Let me see Lord Lee Gyeom just once! Please!
Please! I beg of you! Let me see him once!
To receive the death sentence?
Rather than living my life in hiding as a criminal...
I wanted to admit to everything
and receive the death sentence.
You bastard.
You don't receive the death sentence. I give it to you.
I decide whether you live or die.
Do as you wish.
But...
Are you talking about Saimdang?
Let me see Lord Lee Gyeom just once! Please!
Let me see him once!
Stop!
It's the king's order not to let anyone in!
Lord Lee Gyeom! Lord Lee Gyeom!
What a fate.
You and Saimdang...
Lord Lee Gyeom! Lord Lee Gyeom!
Get her!
No!
This can't happen! Lord Lee Gyeom! Lord Lee Gyeom!
How tragic.
Listen to her screaming.
To Lee Gyeom, a traitor,
please give the death sentence.
I incited young men and did treacherous things.
I tried to participate in politics with naive idealism.
I plotted against the king at the center of Joseon's art, Biikdang!
I admit to all of those crimes!
So please...
Protect Saimdang and her family.
Gyeom.
I don't plan to do anything to that woman.
But she will live her whole life in pain.
Because...
She will suffer the guilt that you died because of her.
And like you wish...
I will kill you soon.
Make way.
Your Majesty. Your Majesty.
Your Majesty.
Please spare Lord Lee Gyeom's life.
He hasn't done anything wrong.
It's my fault. Put me in prison.
Your Majesty. He hasn't done anything wrong.
How touching.
You're asking me to kill you for each other.
Your Majesty...
Please spare his life.
Please put me in prison. Your Majesty...
Traitor Lee Gyeom
will be exiled to Jeju Island on the 15th of May.
There,
he will drink poison.
No, Your Majesty!
No... No, Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!
Is this really...
Is this really what you want?
My lady!
Why are you all here?
Didn't you all leave?
You're here. Where would we go?
This is our home.
Yes. Where would we go without you?
We won't go.
My lady. Be strong.
Hang in there.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Of course, my lady.
The time for an innocent man to die is approaching fast.
But I am sitting in this small room, unable to do anything.
The time for an innocent man to die is approaching fast.
This tragedy reaches the heaven... The past memories...
I will record the past memories.
This tragedy reaches the heaven...
And I am heartbroken,
but I will record the past memories here.
Wait...
No way.
What's wrong with the weather?
Ji-yoon, I don't think it's going to work today.
What's wrong? Are you spacing out?
But do you think Professor Min will act like we expect?
It's been quite some time now.
I know...
Oh, would it be okay if we leave this painting here?
Hey, nobody knows about this one.
Everyone's just focused on finding the Keumkangsando.
It's raining a lot.
- Hye-jung. - Hm?
- Sang-hyun. - Yes?
Look at this painting.
It's fading.
- What? - Nothing's wrong with it.
The Sujinbang Diary.
The last part of the Sujinbang Diary.
- Did you decode it? - Yes.
- It's done. - Right here.
This tragedy reaches the heaven and my heart is aching from such pain...
Her thoughts...
have appeared as a painting.
Ji-yoon, are you alright?
What's wrong, Ji-yoon?
No...
Move!
Where's Seo Ji-yoon?
Who are you people?
We heard there's a lot of good stuff here.
Did Min Jung-hak send you?!
I don't know about that.
- Search! - Search what?
What are you searching for?
What are you doing?
There's nothing here!
No!
Get her!
Move!
Stop there!
No!
- Shit! - Is she dead?
Run!
Where am I...?
Where...
What is this place?
Am I...
Am I dead?
This is strange.
Who is that?
Saimdang...?
Do you know me?
A little...
No.
Maybe a lot.
Where are we?
Am I dreaming?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
Who are you?
You...
look so much like me.
I think your Sujinbang diary
has drawn me to be here.
My diary?
Passing time hastens the death of the innocent one.
I'm just sitting helplessly in this small room of mine.
My sorrow reaches to the sky and I am about to fall...
How do you...
Our souls are intertwined,
so even though I'm leaving, we will never be apart.
What is this?
We must have been fated to meet each other.
This poem was written on your diary.
It's my favorite poem.
Lee Gyeom.
Why is he in this picture?
Lee Gyeom?
Rubens's Man in Korean Costume.
This person went all the way to Italy?
St. Francis Xavier.
His Chinese name is Bang Jae-gak.
There's a man in Korean costume among us.
Lee Gyeom.
The man who met Xiver and went to Italy...
It was Lee Gyeom!
That's right.
Do you know Lee Gyeom?
I've never met him.
But I know him well.
I found your diary in Italy.
Italy?
Where is that place?
It's a faraway country in West.
I found your portrait there.
My portrait?
If my guess is correct,
Lee Gyeom painted your portrait.
Yes.
It must be it.
Ji-yoon!
We don't have much time.
Italy on May. The year of Imyin.
You must remember.
They were desperate for the hospital fee and were eager to negotiate.
I'll keep the painting for you.
It wasn't dream.
You must save Lord Lee Gyeom.
I'll give you the last copy of the poem
that shouldn't see the light of day.
We have a way to save him.
Change the direction towards Kyodong.
He ordered to kill me on the way, didn't he?
