(Episode 7)
Oh, my.
Father.
How dare you?
- What? - Did you try to kill me?
You tried to kill your own father!
Are you all right?
You should lower your body.
Who are you?
Show yourself.
He has gone that way. Catch him.
- Give me my knife back. - I will ask you again.
Who are you?
And who are you to threaten me in someone else's property?
Someone else?
Are you from the family of the Minister of Finance?
Because of you, I could not see something I should have.
I know that it was my fault that I had interrupted you.
But I am very busy right now.
I have to go after someone. Please let me go for now.
You are going after someone?
If you tell me who you are,
I will come back and get the punishment I deserve. So...
You have committed a grave sin.
What are you doing here?
Have you not seen a man?
A man wearing black clothes and holding a bow.
- A bow? - Have you seen him or not?
Do you mean that he was here?
Do you know who he is? Did you see what he was doing?
(King Choong Ryul, the 25th king of Goryeo)
(Eun Young Baek, Minister of Finance and Eun San's father)
(Princess Won Sung, Kublai Khan's daughter)
How can this be?
Your Majesty, he was at the scene of the incident.
He was holding a bow and a bow case.
He was at the place where the arrow came from.
Wang Lin, were you really there?
I was.
Did you shoot the arrow?
I was there. However, he did not shoot the arrow.
Why do you speak for him?
You were nearly shot by an arrow with His Majesty.
Then do you mean to say that he tried to shoot me?
He is my only friend.
They told us that he was hiding there.
Lin does everything...
on my orders.
You need to speak more carefully.
These are the arrows from the scene.
One was stuck in the tree and the other on the horse.
Why did you bring them?
The culprit would not have had their name written on the arrows.
You should continue with your interrogation.
What is it?
(Wang Yeong, Chancellor, Brother of Princess Jeong Hwa)
There is a name written on the arrows.
These arrows...
belong to the Crown Prince.
You should tell us the truth.
The Crown Prince told us...
that you do everything on his orders.
Did the Crown Prince order you to hide there?
How dare you refuse to answer in front of His Majesty?
You are my brother,
- but I cannot let this slide. - Lin.
- Yes, Your Highness. - Did you find him?
Did you find the person who had stolen my arrows?
I did find someone suspicious,
but I lost him.
Father, before I came here,
I found out that a few of my arrows had gone missing.
That is why I asked Lin to find the person who stole them.
I thought that someone in love with me had taken them as a souvenir.
That is why...
I did not realize that the thief...
had intended to make you suspect me and to make the loyal servants...
suspect each other.
- Minister of Finance. - While I was serving you,
an unpardonable atrocity has happened.
I tried to protect you from harm,
but I have made a mistake that cannot be redeemed even by death.
If you died, who would make my dinner?
I will continue the hunt. However,
if more arrows fly towards me,
your head will belong to me.
Your Majesty.
No, that would not be enough.
I would make you a traitor if that happens,
and I will hang every member of your family.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Won.
Yes.
Find out who tried to shoot me within seven days.
Yes, I will.
Your Majesty, how could you...
How could I what?
You must at least lock up this man, Wang Lin.
He was at the spot of the incident by himself.
What do you think about using your brain from time to time?
So...
are you suggesting Lin shot me and the Crown Prince?
Why would he?
Could it be because he wanted to become a king himself?
Did you do that?
Did you try to kill us because you wanted to be king?
No.
See? He says no.
That is not what I meant. Your Majesty.
Crown Prince, you were wrong just now.
He is not your friend.
A king has no friends.
A king only has royal subjects and traitors before him.
Mother, you are wrong too.
I am not a king...
yet.
(Song In, King Choong Ryul's intrigant, opposes the Crown Prince)
I am telling you, it is somewhere in the middle, you idiot.
Try to look for it.
- Did you find it? - I did.
You need to free my hands. Aim accurately, okay?
In 1, 2, 3.
Come on, spit it out.
I did.
What?
Darn you, you idiot.
Charge.
Come here! Come here!
Come here.
Sorry.
That was easy.
If you are the smartest Crown Prince in history,
yet how can you be so reckless?
Are you angry at me?
"Lin does everything on my orders."
I just saved you.
The least you can do is thank me for that.
Everyone around here is...
dying to find anything that can damage you.
Do you not know what or when not to say things?
If I did not save you, you would be dead for hurting the King.
Exactly. Why did you take the side of a man who hurt the King?
Then did you shoot that arrow?
See? You are suspicious too.
I did not say that I am suspicious of you.
My own brother is the one who is after your position.
- That is your brother. - How do you know it was not me?
First of all, you can shoot better than that.
That person shot twice and missed both times.
And two, you may not be as smart as the smartest Crown Prince,
but you are also pretty smart. So if you really tried to kill us,
you would not have made such mistakes.
Would you shoot the arrows then stay there to get caught?
My goodness.
It was I.
What?
Your horse.
I shot your horse.
Where did everyone go?
What did you just say?
The guards are missing.
Answer me.
- Answer me first. - Give me a moment.
Did you say you shot me?
They are wearing stolen uniforms of the King's men.
Send out as many men as we can, and get them immediately.
Yes, master.
Explain.
They are the ones who gave him your arrows.
- Him? - He was our only lead.
- If we lose them... - I cannot understand you.
There is another person...
who has a lead.
What are you doing?
I am sorry. I apologize.
Who are you?
You.
Who are you?
I am a servant of Minister of Finance.
Why would a servant carry a sword around?
I am sorry. I am in a hurry.
Is she not suspicious?
Completely.
Let us take her.
Excuse me, please.
What are you doing here? Your master is looking for you.
Did you just hit my hand?
Let us go.
You cannot find her by looking around.
It will be faster to ask people.
What do we say to them?
Do you work for the Minister of Finance?
Yes, young master.
I am looking for a servant girl of this house.
If you tell me her name, I will get her immediately.
But I do not know her name.
Then can you tell me what she looks like?
Well, she is about this tall.
She loves food and alcohol.
- What does she look like? - She looks...
weird.
She looks weird no matter how you look at her.
Do you still not know?
Well...
Can you not even take a guess?
I brought some clothes and money for you.
Once you reach Mount Duta, do not return for a while.
Since I cannot return for long, I will stay a few more days.
So what if you stay for a few more days?
I need to catch that guy. It took seven years.
I finally found the man who killed Mother and scarred Yeon's face.
You did not see his face. How do you know it is him?
I saw the tattoo on his wrist. It was him.
And I am sure the one who shot the arrow at His Majesty is him too.
- So... - That man...
and the people behind him do not seem like simple bandits...
who are after our money.
This is done by rebels who want to take over the country.
That is why we must catch him. Should we tell government officials?
Maybe they will help us.
We are not going to do anything.
Father.
We are just traders.
We do not care who the King is or whoever that is...
after the throne.
We only move according to our personal interest.
The same goes for getting revenge.
If we lose more than we benefit, it is only right to give it up.
But I found the man who murdered Mother.
- Forget it. - I cannot understand.
You will in time. You are a daughter of a trader.
We have no time to lose. Leave as soon as the dawn breaks.
Yes, master.
It looks like Chancellor's second son wants to become a crown prince.
I heard their private army is growing in number.
I am sure he needs your money desperately.
He will also need the money to bribe the royal subjects.
Will you let Yeon get married...
instead of the young lady?
That is too dangerous.
There is a very sly guy who works with that man.
I am sure he will see right through Yeon.
Then what will you do about the marriage?
I heard that Master Lee has taken in more students.
Take some extra grains...
and clothes to last them the winter.
I will, master.
It is late.
It is very cold. Come inside.
It is colder inside.
Shall I light more fire?
No, I think it is because the house is empty.
What are you waiting for?
I am not sure.
It seems like it will snow.
The night air is heavier than usual.
You can make a sound if you wish to cry.
I am not crying.
You will get a headache if you hold it in.
I will not cry.
Then tell me one thing before you leave.
What?
Young Master Wang. Is he as handsome as they say?
Does he have a great temperament as well?
Why? Will you marry him? You said you did not want to.
I will marry him if he is horrid.
What do you mean?
If he is a good man, you marry him.
My goodness.
You will never pass as a merchant's daughter.
What logic is that?
The Chancellor's family is the second most powerful...
Wang family in Goryeo.
You will no longer have to live like a wild animal in a mountain.
I do not live like a wild animal.
Anyway, about him...
What is he like? Did you see him?
Not closely.
Someone got in the way.
Who?
Someone who loves to give things.
Mae Hwa.
Nan Cho.
What was it?
It was a flower.
I heard Master Lee say her name.
Mo Ran. Gook Hwa. No...
You were there too. Do you not remember one syllable...
What is he doing?
He is drawing someone.
Who is this?
The girl.
The girl we both know?
Yes.
The Minister of Finance's servant and Master Lee's pupil.
The girl whose name we do not know.
Can you not tell right away?
Look for her using this. Look around his house first.
Someone will recognize her.
Yes, master.
What?
It is nothing. Sleep well.
Yes.
I was thinking of her.
Thinking of her makes me laugh.
You have no time to laugh.
You have just seven days to find her.
Should I put a large birdcage in my quarters?
I will make her live in it.
I will see her and laugh every day.
Does she not remind you of a bird?
Some birds cannot live in a cage.
What if I give her a valley so she does not feel caged?
I will plant trees with green or red leaves...
and lots of wildflowers in-between.
Wildflowers.
Wildflowers. Wild...
I remembered.
Her name. It is So Hwa. So Hwa.
Finally.
So Hwa. My memory did not fail me.
The thief! That is him!
Do not try too hard.
I need to drop by the medicine store.
What for?
To take care of business.
What business?
I will just urinate next to the cart then.
No, no, no.
I cannot hold it in much longer.
Leave this with me.
What for?
Put it down.
Oh, come on.
Hey! What did you do that for?
My goodness.
I am dying over here. Save me.
I am being chased by bandits.
My lady, can you please save me?
Goodness me.
You are...
Merciful deities, thank you.
My lady.
Could you please tell that girl to get out of your palanquin?
Please do not. He is trying to sell me.
Are you?
She is one of my master's servants.
She is so disobedient.
He is lying. I have never seen him before.
My father is the Chancellor.
If you wish to get her back,
tell your master to come for her himself.
Was that too difficult to understand?
No, my lady.
I shall let you go on your way.
- Let us go. - Yes, my lady.
You saved me.
I will repay this debt one day.
What are you doing here when you said you live in a mountain?
I am looking for someone.
Who?
To find him, I must find someone else first.
- Who? - The man I met at your home.
The two who are always together.
Which one of them?
Han Chun? Soo In?
I cannot remember who used what name.
Anyway, I must find him and ask him something.
Do you know where I can find him?
You hopped onto the right palanquin.
The marketplace people...
I see you are both here.
Did you all sleep here?
Hello, my lady.
Is he in?
Pardon? No... Yes, he is in.
I brought him breakfast.
This girl is here...
to see Han Chun and Soo In.
Will you tell them?
Han Chun, Soo In?
Yes, my lady.
The Crown Prince fell off his horse while hunting yesterday.
I brewed him some medicine.
I hope he likes it.
Is the Crown Prince here? Not in the palace?
He is.
He spends most of his nights...
away from the luxurious palace.
Where are you going?
I shall wait outside.
When the two come out...
Will you leave me alone to be bored?
Stay here.
I will.
The Crown Prince is not scary.
I am sure he is not.
Would he be scary to someone like you?
He is a man and...
What?
Are you...
What?
What are you thinking?
You brewed medicine because he fell off his horse.
It must have taken all morning.
I see.
You see what?
It is nothing.
Who is here?
- The Chancellor's daughter. - I am out.
She is here too.
The Minister of Finance's servant and Master Lee's pupil.
I do not know her name.
Did you tell them who I am?
No.
Do I look like the Crown Prince?
Answer me.
Not at all.
Not at all?
Do you mean that I look that shabby?
Do you?
(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?
