(Episode 9)
Who are you?
What are you doing here?
Are you trying to sabotage my plan?
What do you mean?
I came here because I heard that you got caught.
That was all part of my plan.
I need to get inside the house first to do the deed.
Besides, you were planning to use your sword without a disguise?
Excuse me.
Who on earth are you?
- How dare you? - What?
Who said you could interrupt our conversation?
- I was... - Who are you?
Address me properly, you jerk.
She is my friend.
Stay away!
Go.
- Me? - Yes.
Stop it!
How dare you?
You wench!
Who are you?
I apologize.
About the daughter-in-law who lives there...
Do you mean Lady Kim?
Yes.
I am her friend.
She is in danger now.
I am here, so do not worry.
Thank you for helping us.
However, this government office...
has been colluding with her father-in-law...
for a very long time.
It will be of no use.
You should have come inside.
Why are you so brazen and causing a scene?
How dare you humiliate me?
Who are you?
Are you not the lady from the village for widows?
The beautiful behind?
Why do you keep appearing in front of me?
I do not understand it either.
How dare you inconvenience me once again?
Open the palanquin!
- Yes, master. - Yes, master.
How dare you?
- Stop it! - Should I beat you more?
Do not move!
Did I not beat you enough?
Hold on. Who are you?
Neither of you is my daughter-in-law.
Where in the world is she?
Bring both of them inside!
Yes.
You two better explain...
when and how you switched places with her!
Stop!
What is this about?
My lord, please go back. This is a family issue.
How could it be a family issue when there are so many armed men?
Take them all in!
- Yes, my lord! - Yes, my lord!
- Hurry! - Follow me!
- Come here! - Follow me!
- Come here! - We are innocent!
- Come here! - Wait a minute.
Do not touch me!
- Hurry up! - Goodness.
Hey!
- Hey! - Come here!
My gosh.
Goodness.
I owe you an apology for many things.
Do not say that.
She is your mother. I ought to help her.
They seem to be close.
Yes, I heard that they are.
Did he really believe what you said?
Yes. Since I had never left my quarters after getting married,
there was no way he would recognize my face.
Why did you not leave with your lady?
You two could have run away.
What were you doing there?
What?
What did you and Cha Yul Mu do in that house?
Why do you ask?
You finally met the woman you were yearning for...
and almost died while rescuing her.
In the midst of all that, were you curious about what we were doing?
Why are you asking?
I was curious.
What?
Was it wrong of me to be curious?
Gosh.
You are a jerk.
You little wench. Let me go.
After coming all the way here,
it would be wrong to leave without him.
My gosh. Look around.
Hanyang is so huge.
How can we find Nok Du?
If there is a will, there is always a way.
You little witch!
(Aseowon, Muweol Corps' base in Hanyang)
So...
I tailed the assassin after leaving the island.
I saw the assassin entering a village full of widows.
"A village full of widows"?
Oh, dear.
By the way,
- who are... - Right. A village full of widows.
Thank you.
When I entered the village,
they said men were banned and beat me.
I even got into a fight with a widow...
and got this scar.
Goodness.
So I came back to Hanyang.
I am going to wait for another chance to get in there.
Do you happen to know...
about an assassination corps led by women?
"Women"?
But you see...
Let me stop by the toilet.
Women do not like me.
Hey, you! Are you listening?
It is better for me to find him rather than his father.
I hope everything is all right with him.
Aeng Du...
What? Where did she go?
Aeng Du.
Hwang Aeng Du!
I am here.
My goodness.
What were you stuffing your mouth? Where did you get it?
You love food too much. How will you find Nok Du?
I think we will find him soon.
What do you mean?
I am sure it is him.
He still has the wound around his eye,
so you just need to look for that.
We are shorthanded as of now.
Mudam Village?
I told you so.
Right.
Hwang Jang Gun still has not returned.
Maybe he got lucky and met Nok Du in Hanyang.
I hope that is the case.
Father, we must escape.
Hold my hand.
Father, you should go this way.
I will go that way.
What are you talking about?
This path also leads...
to the cave that Master Hwang told us about.
- Let us meet there. - We can go together.
- Come on. - Hurry up and go, Father.
It is better for me to take that path because it is less steep.
If we go together, it will only put us in danger.
Then I will lure them.
Let us meet at the cave.
- You must be careful. - Okay.
I... I...
His Majesty has arrived.
Your Majesty.
Get out of my way!
Your Majesty.
I am sure this was done by the Queen Dowager.
How dare you?
Can you be responsible for what you just said?
I am sorry to tell you this,
but rumors say the Queen Dowager has been inviting shamans...
into her palace.
An animal that symbolizes...
the year of your birth has been slaughtered...
beneath the tree of Prince Yeongchang.
What do you think that means?
I want you to investigate and find out...
who did something like this and for what reason.
He appeared in Hanyang?
Yes, I received a secret message earlier.
If I knew he would be there, I would have stayed for longer.
Do you think Deul Le went to Hanyang to find him?
If that was the case, she would have gone to Aseowon.
But I never heard that she went there.
Ladies!
The vice-curator asked us to come to the gisaeng house.
Lady Kim, I have something to say.
Lady Kim.
Lady Kim. Lady Kim.
I want everyone to focus.
Prepare everything with your utmost sincerity.
Bring out your motherly love. Everyone, focus!
Place the meat pancakes over there.
Lady Kim likes them.
No, put that over there.
I thought we were invited to a party.
But it seems like we are here to work for you.
I know, right?
She went to see her family.
Who knows if she might not be able to return...
Oh, right.
She might choose not to come back.
What are you talking about?
She told me she will be back today.
Lady Kim always keeps her word.
Okay, fine.
Butcher a calf and cook some beef ribs.
What?
Wait...
I will just walk.
We are on our way back to the gisaeng house.
So do not feel pressured and just hop on.
How can you ask a grown lady...
to hop on a horse with a grown man?
Here.
I let you ride that horse...
because you told me that you know how to ride one.
But I do not think it will be safe for you to ride with her.
I am lighter than you.
So it will be better for her to ride with me.
Hop on, my daughter.
Hold my hand, Dong Joo.
Come on, my daughter.
My gosh, hey...
Mother, are you okay?
Did you get hurt?
I got distracted and fell.
I think I hurt my ankle.
Okay, do not eat too much.
- Okay. - Let us wait a little bit.
When...
When will she...
My gosh.
Lady Kim.
My gosh, no!
Here you go.
My goodness, that little punk.
Hey, I told you not to let her drink.
Why? I am going to drink.
My gosh, do not drink.
My goodness.
I bet it was nice to see them after such a long time.
Did your family...
give you something nice before you left?
Yes. Well...
my mother gave me some seed capital...
to help me start over in this village.
Nice.
It looks like you are a lightweight drinker.
I have never consumed alcohol before.
That was impressive. How did you think of getting caught on purpose?
I was worried that your plan might fail because of me. I am relieved.
By the way,
how did you steal it?
It is a secret.
Good work.
I will inform the boss,
and you will be officially initiated.
That means...
I will be in your organization, right?
You are almost there.
There is no reason for us not to accept you...
unless you are not a widow.
Right.
Let us ask her since she has come back now.
Pardon? What do you mean?
Why are you hitting on Lord Yul Mu, Lady Kim?
Pardon?
Because she likes him. Darn it.
Gosh.
I know everything.
I, Yeon Geun the Vice-Curator,
have given my heart to Lady Kim Nok Soon.
But why?
Why does Lady Kim like a stray cat like him?
- "Meow, meow". Just eat this. - Wait. What is this...
What? Why would I like him?
- Why? Why would I? - Darn it.
That is not true.
Goodness.
Are you all right?
Darn it.
Are you all right? You should stop drinking now.
My gosh.
Mother and daughter.
They are causing a mess.
Oh, no.
I told you not to let Dong Joo drink.
She is unstoppable when she gets drunk.
What happens to her when she gets drunk?
She speaks what is on her mind.
She starts blabbing about people's secrets.
Right.
Hey, you.
I told everyone that your feet stink.
- My gosh, Dong Joo. Come on. - Right?
Darn it.
My daughter, we should head home now.
Forget that.
You should finish what you were talking about earlier.
What do you think about Lord Yul Mu?
Every woman is bound to like a man like him.
But I believe you should be the last person to like him.
- Please. I do not... - Fine.
It is true...
my mother likes someone.
My daughter.
My daughter is very drunk, so she is making stuff up.
We should go home now.
Even if she is drunk, she never makes stuff up.
Let us listen to her.
- Yes. - Whom does she like?
Is it Lord Yul Mu or not?
The person...
my mother likes is...
It is my husband.
My late husband.
Honey!
"Honey"?
Is that the lady?
- Is he over there? - Yes.
You are almost there.
There is no reason for us not to accept you...
unless you are not a widow.
Every woman is bound to like a man like him.
I do not think it is him.
I will finish...
what I was going to say.
I know that I should not,
but let me tell you why and how...
I ended up liking...
Lord Yul Mu.
Oh, no.
You are a true man.
And I am...
And I am also a woman after all.
Lady Kim.
My apologies, my lord.
No, no!
What...
How could she...
Darn it.
Darn it. I like you!
I like you!
