What were you doing?
I was still washing the dishes...
You've been boiling this water to wash dishes?
Yes
Why?
The sandstorm made the water in the well dirty
so I had to boil water to wash dishes and cool it to wash vegetables
Who told you to do that?
My mother told me that when there is yellow dust in the air
water becomes dirty, dust goes in the food and...
it makes food spoil faster, so she did this
Oh, my! Oh, my... Myeong... I've missed her all my life...
I've always felt guilty for Myeong...
Her daughter has been with me and it's you...
Your mother who ate the wild berries and said they were tasty...
Yes, Madam...
Yes, so she was Myeong! My Myeong!
Yes, Madam, she's my mother She's my mother, Madam
Thank you, Myeong Thank you, Jang-Geum
(Episode 28)
What is it? Her condition seems to be critical
Drag her out of here
Don't touch her!
I will never leave you alone if you touch her!
She's someone to be pitied... She doesn't deserve this!
She's not going to leave this way... Never... never...
They already left
To where? Where did they go?
Where did they go?!
To Jeju...
You can't change things now The judgment has been made already
Hey! Hey!
Ouch!
Hey! Hey!
That's enough... Let's go!
No... I can't leave Madam here in the cold ground! Let go!
Consider it lucky that we didn't just leave her here
How... how can you not build a mound for her!
She's not someone you can do this to!
We have to catch the boat! Hurry up!
Madam... No... no... no...
No... no... Madam... I won't forgive them...
I won't forgive those who have done this to you!
I won't forgive them, Madam!
Hello. I was going to visit you soon
Really?
We'll have to redesignate someone for the Highest Kitchen Lady...
Lady Han died on the way
Excuse me?
She couldn't have endured the long trip with her bad health
What did they do with the body?
What could they have done with the body of a person who was guilty of treason?
She'd be lucky if they didn't leave the body lying anywhere
How about Jang-Geum who went with her?
Since I heard she got on a boat she probably went to Jeju
She died before she got to Jeju
How about Jang-Geum?
Young-Ro... Keum-Young... Please tell them for me
Tell them what?
Actually, Jang-Geum and I bought those ducks together
Lady Han and I cooked the food, too So I'm guilty of treason, too
You're crazy
Young-Ro... Keum-Young...
You can speak to Lady Choi for me She listens to you
So tell her I have to go to Jeju for the crime of treason, too
Lady Han passed away There's no one with Jang-Geum
How is she going to live by herself? So send me, too
Please send me to Jeju!
Get back to your senses
I understand your feelings but that was treason
Bad things could happen to you if you say such rash things
So that's why I'm asking you!
What do I need to do?
What do I need to do for you to grant my request?
Just tell me what to do I'll do whatever you tell me to do
Madam! Madam! Get out of here!
Madam, please. Lady Han passed away and it'll be very hard for Jang-Geum
You must've gone crazy! Madam!
Will a whipping bring you to your senses?!
Get out of here!
Will you send me to Jang-Geum if I get whipped?
If it's that kind of whipping, I'll receive 100, no 1,000 blows!
Madam! Are you crazy?
Where do you think this is? Come out
Madam! Please be understanding
She'll be OK in time Please be understanding
What the heck...
This is it... I've finally found this after 20 years
Hey! Where you going with all that?! Where could I possibly go?
You're going to Jeju, aren't you? Then how can I not?
You expect me to just sit idly and watch Jang-Geum become a servant?
They have to work as barmaids, too I can't just sit and watch!
So?
Buy her with money or get her here with money
Do you think that makes any sense?!
You said nothing's impossible with money
Why you! Get inside!
You steal my money and run away?! And what is Jang-Geum guilty of?
Treason
What is treason? It's the biggest crime in the world
Even with thousands of dollars, you can't get her out. Maybe time...
You were lucky you weren't caught...
But you could get caught for treason in the future as well
lfJang-Geum were our real daughter, you and I would've become servants
And you're saying you'll go and help her?
Do you have any brains at all?
OK, I have no brains at all! But what about Jang-Geum?!
Just wait. Over time, a crime like treason could work out fine
When is that? When?! Don't ask me! Did I drag her away?!
That's why I must go!
Where do you think you're going?! Why that...! Hey!
Sir!
Sir? He acted like he'd die for her but now Jang-Geum's guilty of treason
and he hid because he's afraid it might harm him
That's how all scholar-officials are That's why you can't trust them
Jang-Geum was different. Even though she'd be kicked out to the herb garden
she went back to the palace after saving your life
The person you were looking for... the person who saved your life...
...is Jang-Geum!
What?
The trinket you had was Jang-Geum's
What are you talking about? What are you saying?!
What good is that now?!
What'll you do with Jang-Geum in that situation?
What good is being your lifesaver? Poor Jang-Geum...
Sir Don't pay him respect
How can you try to run away twice already?
This is Jeju, an island! Where will you go? You'll swim?
I don't want to punish a pretty lady, either
I beg you like this... Let's live quietly, OK?
Please let me go... please...
You still have a long way to go to get your mind back
The country pays me to keep an eye on you
And you're asking me to free you? Man... Go inside...
I tied you as others are looking I don't want to tie you either
Please let me go... please...
OK, but next time, I'll report it to the superior
Sir...
Don't call me that. I'm just a noncommissioned officer in Jeju
I think I'll die without fulfilling my duty because of you
Get inside... and I'm sorry, but I can't feed you for two days
Sir... Go on in
I must go! I must go! I must go!
Hey! Untie this for me Can't you hear me?
Idiots. Do they think they can make me obey this way?
Please untie mine, too
You're a maidservant, huh? So?
Let's run away together
You were caught while trying to run away...
so let's run away together
I must go back to the land I must go back to Han-Yang
Are you that Royal Kitchen lady?
Yes
Seem to be having a hard time adjusting as a maidservant
when you'd been living in the warmth of the palace
but even the wife of the head... I must go!
I must go even if I die
Even if you die? Yes
Then there's one way...
At the crack of dawn... these two women are driving me mad
What is it this time?! She has chicken pox
What?! Are you sure? I'm sure
What should I do?!
You have to put her separately in a hut before it spreads to others
It's big trouble. Hey, take her away
Me? Then should I do it?!
You should go with us Why? I have to stay for 3 more days
But you're a physician... Close the door. It's cold
Man...
Guard her carefully
Make sure no one comes near, OK? Yes, sir!
Let's go
If you rub on oil beetle extract, you'll get blisters like chicken pox
Then they'll separate you into a hut Then you go to a hut at the beach
If you tell them my name they'll let you on the boat
My name is Jang-Duk
Hey... hey!
How can you be sleeping?! I didn't sleep!
I saw you, so don't deny it!
I really didn't sleep! Yeah, right. Give this to her
Is she doing OK? Yes!
Look at her and tell me! Yes!
Here, eat it. Hey! She's not here. She's not here!
She's not there?! She ran away?!
A person named Jang-Duk told me I could get on the boat...
Another prank by Jang-Duk?
What?
Catch her!
Stop right there! Catch her! Stop!
Stop right there! Stop right there!
I can't relax even one day because of you!
Told you my superior would scold you You're in big trouble now!
I told you to watch her How can you be so careless?
Actually, she had chicken pox symptoms so we separated her and...
So all the soldiers have to guard her?
If you try to run away once more I'll send you to Woo Island, OK?!
You'll be punished, too!
Beat her 10 times and don't give her any food!
What did I tell you?
Why you...! You're driving me crazy I'll die because of you
Excuse me, is there a maidservant named Jang-Geum here?
Jang-Geum? You bet there is... Can I meet her right now then?
It's hard to meet that maidservant
She's getting beaten for trying to run away
Beaten?
The superiors were merciful
She tries to run away whenever she can. She'll die that way
Why did you do such a thing?
Excuse me...
What's going on?
What are you talking about?
I trusted you as I thought you were helping
Why did you push me into the soldiers' hut?
To save you
A servant can't live if she doesn't learn to give up
A servant can only live like a dead person
So learn to quit quickly No one... can make me quit! No one!
Let's hurry... Madam is waiting
Let's go Hey!
Hey, you should pay respect to Jang-Duk I can see a difficult life ahead of you
She seems to be a servant, too Why does everyone respect her?
And what's with the silk dress?
A wealthy family bought her a silk dress and called for her
No one can be rude to her No. They really do respect her
Looking for me?
Yes, I heard you're in charge of the servants here
Can I meet maidservant Jang-Geum? Jang-Geum?! Oh, no, not her!
Why not?
Because she always tries to escape
I don't know why she's here, but she's not in her right mind
She might get killed Huh?
She'll starve or be beaten to death before she can run away
Her health has deteriorated, too If she keeps escaping, I'll die, too
There's no way I can meet her?
Don't even think about it!
If she tries to run away again then she'll be sent to Woo Island
And I'll be punished, too
But who are you anyway?
Even so, how could he leave his office like this?
He seemed to be in great distress
Where did he say he was going?
I followed him to the port and saw him leaving for Jeju
What are you going to do?
It's my fault. I'll have to do something before they harm him
Shouldn't you be doing that dish? Instead of Keum-Young, you...
Man! Lady Choi doesn't care about hierarchy
She'll hear you
I don't care! If they keep this up I have a plan, too
A plan?
I prepared the meat in much smaller chunks!
What?
And the green onion is saltier, too
Why?
I'm being rebellious! Rebellious?!
Congratulations Thank you. Sit over there
Congratulations, Madam
Madam! Please forgive me Think of me as your servant
Sit down Yes, ma'am
Thanks, everyone
First of all, I think it's fortunate that the kitchen has found peace again
Treason in the kitchen? It should never be!
We can't forgive Lady Han or Jang-Geum or those who were close to them
It's all because of Lady Jung who disregarded tradition and
the arrogance of Lady Han of lowly birth
Such things happen to those who don't understand the times and people
But I'm different. I'm a member of a famous family which produced
generations of Highest Court Ladies
Just keeping that tradition won't bring any trouble
And I'm going to forgive whatever rash things you've done...
because of your powerlessness
So from now on, trust me and behave according to the customs
I thought you'd be rebellious "Please forgive me." What was that?
I was rebellious! How?
When I was bowing, my legs were Indian-style
Ha!
Then what could I have done? I was scared to death
"I can't forgive them" "I'm different"
I was scared, too So we just need to be good 50
What?
You know, our actions and heart working separately
Anyway, my rebellion will continue That's the only way to survive
OK. I'll only trust you
Sir!
Oh! Your small face looks even more haggard
It's because ofJang-Geum, isn't it?
You know Jang-Geum She's probably fine, so don't worry
You should go visit her Huh?
Please deliver my letter, too Please, sir?
Forget her...
This isn't good. Living in a palace is already hard enough...
It'll be unbearable if you get sick at heart
It's best for powerless ones like us to consider time as the cure
You know, no news is good news
Just think, she's doing fine no matter what
If you get sick, you won't be able to see her when you can
You should take care of your health You've become so haggard
And this... is supplemental medicine Just chew one pill a day. Here
Now we can relax!
I'm sorry for making you worry all this time
So you should be better to us from now on
Of course, sir. How could I ever forget what you've done?
There will be many difficulties now that you've become Highest Lady
Just ask and I'll give you help whatever it may be
Thank you. I'm thinking of getting rid of the accountant system...
that Lady Han brought back Sure
I'll inspect the Food Services myself so I can quickly recreate the system...
which was destroyed last time
Of course! She surely knows the order of things to be done
He left?
We don't know, either He left everything without a word
Because of me... Could it be...
Yes, sir...
You'll go to the pasture to work today
Don't be lazy and get everything done today
You tried to escape many times, so you'll have to be shackled
Be understanding, Jang-Geum OK. Come out, now
Horse manure will stink bad Yeah. When will we clean all that?
Look at Jang-Geum's ankles... Yeah... poor girl...
You just need to deliver this letter to a servant named Jang-Geum
Just deliver this to her?
Yes. If she writes a reply then bring it back to me
Sure
I don't think today's a good idea She was released to work in a pasture
OK
You can't finish everything that way. Faster!
You don't need to push people around like that
You're easy on them and that's why servants always run away
Really, officer? Aren't you that guy who lost her while sleeping?
I was just tired that time Why you...!
She must've given up by now, right?
Eat as much as you want Hey, your mouth will rip!
Hey! Catch them! Catch them! Hurry!
Catch them! Catch them!
Again?! Oh, no!
Jang-Geum ran away again! Dang!
Oh man!
She's gonna get it this time...
Why did she run away again?
I don't know why she keeps escaping She'll be caught again
Get her!
Sir...
Let's go
Over there... Over there...
It's alright. It was just a scratch
Now I realize...
the feeling of your hands
Though I was unconscious I couldn't forget the feeling
As soon as I got here, I saw a lady who was pursued by soldiers
I didn't know what she was going to do at the sea...
and what she was going to do...
I only wished she wouldn't be caught
I despised myself for not being able to do anything when such things
happened to you, so I became irrational
So I decided to help you run away and prepared for it
You just need to meet the owner early morning and ride the boat
But I came back to my senses when I saw you
You'll die if you get caught running away like this
Even if you stay alive, you'll have to live like your parents...
being pursued at all times
Please give me one more chance
I'll make sure everyone finds out it wasn't treason
Please give me a chance
But even if you decide to run away, I'll help you
No, if not now, after 3 days, a year, 3 years, or 10 years later...
if you want to leave here, then I'll be beside you
But please take my advice now
If you keep doing this, you'll die without giving me a chance to help you
Madam passed away
She died saying, she'd be at the palace
I can't stay here
I can't stay here because I miss her
Sir...
Jang-Geum, don't cry
I told you not to cry, didn't I? Don't cry, and live
If you live, Myeong and I will never die
Don't cry
It's the fourth time already?!
And you even thought of running away with a man?!
There's no need for further inquiry Send her to Woo Island!
Sir, how can you be so harsh to one who has returned of her own accord?
Who are you to interfere?!
Sir...
Sir, he's the high military officer, Sir Min, assigned to Jeju recently
What? He's the high military officer? Yes, sir. Didn't I give you notice?
Then how...?
He probably brought someone who he thought was running away
Is that so?
Untie him!
You should've told me, sir
She won't run away again Be merciful to her
No, I can't do that She tried to run away four times
The soldiers are always trying to catch her
And she freed the horses so we had a great loss...
Trust me and do what you think is best
It's hard to assign her work and no one wants to keep watch over her
Trust me. Give her a chance But...
I'll make her obey
