(Episode 8)
Oh, wow.
Did you get here on a carriage?
I will walk you there.
I brought breakfast.
I will make sure he eats.
I should say hello.
Let us go.
What about his injury?
He is fine.
You must be insane. How dare you steal...
the Crown Prince's liquor?
- I am just getting a taste. - I thought you would dive into it.
- Will you be quiet? - Did you just hit me?
And now you are hurting the Crown Prince's guard.
Give it to me. Give it.
I cannot do that. Why are you here?
Are you here to see me?
Not you, the other one.
- Soo In? - Where is he?
I have to ask him something.
I probably know everything he knows.
I heard His Majesty almost got hit with an arrow.
Only a few closest subjects know about that.
How did you find out?
Are you looking for the shooter? Let me in on this.
Do you know who the shooter is?
A man in a black outfit with a straw hat.
How do you know him?
I saw you follow him.
- How do you know him? - I asked you first.
All right.
Please be gentle. People may think you two are fighting.
Who is that man?
Stop it.
That man is...
the man...
who killed my lady seven years ago.
You cannot trust that girl.
That girl apparently has a name. It is So Hwa.
She says she is Minister of Finance's servant,
but no one knows her there.
She does not work there now.
She is Master Lee's student now.
Her relationship with Minister of Finance is odd too.
That night...
Her master can follow her if he is concerned.
How long will you hide yourself and keep her around?
Until it is not fun anymore.
Pardon?
So Hwa, you must be hungry.
Here you are.
- What is this? - The tattoo on his wrist.
Is that a snake?
It is red.
It starts on his wrist and goes up to his arm.
We will take care of this now. You should return home.
- Who says? - Yes, who says so?
It is dangerous for her.
And she will be bothersome.
I have fought her a few times, and she will not be bothersome.
She can at least draw much better than you.
Look at this.
Do not touch me.
When did this get here?
Let her come with us to catch that man.
So Hwa.
If Soo In ever shows you any of his drawings,
you should just say that it looks great. You have to.
Are you saying you had people who came in contact with him?
Soo In took them in,
but they ran away quickly.
I knew it.
You knew what?
The way you look and act is just...
Goodness.
Just what?
Wait for me, So Hwa.
We are investigating a case under the Crown Prince's order.
I did engrave this.
This was made here.
What was the most recent date which you delivered them?
It was the night of the 15th.
It was an urgent order.
Were there any arrows which were hidden in the process?
That does not happen.
If we ever engrave a wrong letter or find any defective arrows,
we burn everything in there.
How many arrows did you deliver that night?
We counted it three times.
It was exactly 24 sets, a total of 120 arrows.
We counted the arrows which the Crown Prince received,
and it was exactly 118 arrows.
Two arrows are missing.
You.
Yes, young master.
Tell me.
Pardon?
Tell me what just went through your mind.
That is... I am the one...
who delivered those arrows.
There was an incident on my delivery route.
My goodness, I hate you.
I met this married couple on my way there.
The wife was almost due.
By any chance,
was one of the married couple...
very thin, and the other pretty chubby?
You are right. They were exactly like that.
Do you think they are them? The two men you saw.
We will know once we get them and question them.
Take these guys to a safe place.
Make sure no one finds them.
Pardon?
Me?
My goodness.
It is him.
- All right. - All right!
Have you been well?
Goodness, you have grown so much.
It has been forever since I saw you.
We have been busy. We are not like you.
- Give me some work, then. - Are you willing to?
- Of course. - Me too.
- I want to work. - I want to do it.
One of them is pretty chubby, and the other is very thin.
- What are you doing? - They are always together.
- Who are you supposed to be? - Get lost.
That is not him.
- Oh, wow. - That is a snake.
- It starts on his right wrist. - Up to his arm.
- It is very long. - And red.
Remember this picture, okay?
Start the search over there. Go on, now.
Who are you?
Let us go.
What are you doing?
They are very dangerous, so do not try to get them.
Just do not lose them.
Hey.
They have been circling that pagoda since early morning.
They must have many wishes.
This one.
You already had a lot. How can you eat again?
- Two buns' worth. - Sure.
Be honest. You two are not trainees, are you?
How can you be suspicious again?
I saw you ordering around those other guards.
How can mere trainees be that powerful?
That is, we are trainees, but we are...
This means you are from powerful families.
This is a huge problem.
You are completely incompetent,
but you get to overuse power thanks to your fathers.
I do not think we are completely incompetent.
You should be ashamed.
We are not completely incompetent.
She is not wrong about that.
While we are at it, you are the son of...
- a powerful man, you should pay. - Pardon?
I think I am at least better than Soo In.
That is so wrong.
He says you are wrong.
You never won a simple race against me.
That is why you never got to take the Soyong Sword.
What is Soyong Sword?
Something that does not exist in this world.
It is nothing but a name.
If you wish to see it, you have to win against me.
He dares you to win.
You need to be more honest.
You always start before me as soon as you say it is a race.
A match needs to have a clear beginning.
Then I will start that match.
Okay.
I am ready.
You will run until the three-way intersection.
The winner will get that Soyong Sword.
- The match... - What?
Begins.
That is so not fair.
All right.
Who are you stabbing?
- Got you. - Goodness.
Stop right there.
Be careful.
This is as far as you come.
Why?
It is late. You should go home.
When they say they found him...
We will notify you.
Just let us know where you will be, and go.
Okay.
What are you doing?
Do not mind me. I will be right here,
so when you hear something new, you can let me know.
What are you doing?
- Come in. - Yes.
That is the girl.
She has been with the Crown Prince...
and Young Master Wang the whole day.
I know that girl.
When we got the arrows from Bokjeonjang,
she bumped into me on purpose.
Did you show your face?
I doubt it. I lost her immediately.
But I guess she saw your wrist.
Pardon?
Some kids are looking for a man with a snake tattoo on his wrist.
The girl you said you lost...
was going after you in the hunting ground.
Did you let her live?
I will get rid of her.
I will make sure she does not become any trouble.
Do you know her name?
I will find out.
So Hwa. That is the girl's name.
It is on her sword.
Give me my sword back.
This is a very precious and expensive sword.
How did she get her hands on this?
She could not get this herself. Someone gave this to her.
Did you say she looked close with the Crown Prince?
They looked like close friends.
Is that so?
It was a good choice to let her live.
Let us go.
We have a lot to do tonight.
This was an urgent matter, so I had to come see you.
I am listening.
About the person who tried to harm you in Bokjeonjang...
The Crown Prince is investigating that case.
I heard he is trying very hard.
You must stop the Crown Prince from further investigation, Your Majesty.
What are you talking about?
I am asking you.
The Crown Prince is arresting people linked to the incident.
And?
I heard that someone is killing them off one by one.
Is the Crown Prince aware of this?
Well...
You should have reported to him first.
Your Majesty, that man works for the Crown Prince.
What a mess.
People around me...
are all busy spinning tales.
Did you hear about that?
Did you hear of it?
I looked into it before coming here.
And?
The Crown Prince, the Chancellor's third son,
and that person...
have been seen in each other's company.
"That person"?
And that person...
is killing off the people tied to...
my attempted assassination?
It is worth investigating.
Until we know more,
I believe it wise to halt...
the Crown Prince's investigation.
- Did you listen in? - Yes, I did.
And?
They spoke of the Crown Prince.
What did they say?
Someone is killing the witnesses.
- Who is? - The Crown Prince's ally.
What do you mean?
They said the Crown Prince had...
one of his men kill off the witnesses.
The witnesses involved in the King's attempted assassination.
I knew all along.
Princess Won Sung. Our dear Queen.
The python that lives deep within the palace.
(Choi Se Yeon, Eunuch)
Something must be done. What else?
What do you mean?
You risked being seen...
to come to my secret room.
You must have something worth reporting.
The Queen's health...
Is it deteriorating?
She is taking increased amounts of medicine...
and the medicinal brews are becoming thicker.
You should diagnose her.
Will she allow me close to her?
We shall make her. Anything else?
What are you thinking about that made you smile?
There was an attempt to hide it.
- Hide what? - Fear.
She tried very hard to mask it.
Who did?
That girl.
How can someone so small drink so much alcohol?
Why do you think I am my master's favorite pupil?
The one pupil...
who can drink well enough to keep him company...
and put up with his drunken antics.
That would be me.
That is enough.
She is drunk.
No human can drink this much and not be.
You might burn your arm.
Why did you bring her here...
and let her drink all she wants?
Hold back.
I am trying.
I have...
no home in the Capital to return to,
and I have no money, so I am practically a beggar.
I traveled for miles to come here...
to mourn my late mistress...
and no one will pour me a drink.
Here, I will.
Drink all you want. I did not see your empty cup.
Drink up.
She is still not done.
This is incredible.
- Seven years ago. - You startled me.
My mistress died because of me.
For seven years, I spent the nights thinking.
What if...
I did not insist on going off on another route?
What if our bodyguards were not split into two groups?
You had enough.
If only someone had told me.
If one person...
had told me not to go.
That I should not have gone that way.
Then no one would have died.
I shall have someone find out.
Why let someone else do something that fun?
Return with your bodyguards.
I will alert the authorities.
- I want to know. - What?
How rich Eun Young Baek is.
No move is wasted.
Stab, turn, slice.
No one had to die.
That is so infuriating.
Each and every night...
What are you doing?
Hey.
This is what she is like when she is drunk.
She just falls asleep.
She was like this in the cave.
She drank a whole jar on her own and fell asleep.
She is half-dead.
It would have been so.
If I had not considered them an amusing spectacle...
If they had been warned...
Then they would not have died.
She always sleeps crouched up.
She must have slept like this for seven years.
Stop thinking about it.
I sleep in peace every night.
You can sleep in my bed.
I shall have it prepared.
This girl.
She is crying.
(Deleted scenes coming next.)
(The King in Love)
(Deleted scenes)
My lady.
What?
Do something before they make an official proposal.
Oh... Why?
- Do you not like it? - My lady.
Life in the mountain made you forget.
I am a lowly maidservant.
I cannot marry a royal in your place.
The thought of it gives me the shivers.
Why can you not get married?
Bi Yeon, this is your chance...
to actually become the wife of a royal.
My lady.
I will find out about the young master for you.
His looks, temperament, intellectual capacity, everything.
Give me that. You are drunk.
Now tell me.
Do you like a man with round eyes shaped like a full moon...
or a man with eyes slit sideways like a crescent moon...
- like this? - My lady.
You need to tell me for me to find out.
My lady, stop drinking. You are drunk.
The Crown Prince arrested them?
And someone else killed them?
Someone sent that person to frame the Crown Prince.
Tell them to make way.
So you know her.
I cannot stand a minute apart from her.
For the first time in my life, I have fallen in love.
How dare you get involved.
She is mine.
How can you look away when I am here?
How can you think of another in my presence?
