Episode 1
Were you trying to kill me? I already killed you Turn around, criminal! Jang Sung-Baek It's all over Give up! Do not resist! What you see before you is only a cliff You ran down a road that isn't a road A road that isn't a road How can you say that? If one person takes a path If two people take it If many people take it, then that becomes a road In this rotten world all I did was create and run down a new road Don't be foolish The road you created is only a cliff leading to death You're wrong Though my bones may be buried here today after I die, many people will walk my path to make a road Some time, their blood and souls will fill the valleys and rivers and a new road will definitely a new world will definitely be opened! Even though I die now I will not completely die Only Jae-Hui This life of mine ends here Please relieve me How dare you?! Who says a rebellious traitor has the right to choose his own death? If I don't kill him with my sword I'll live with great regret All right Don't make a mistake this time I'll kill you no matter what! (Chosun City Fortress AD 1692) (Left Police Bureau) (Episode 1) Wonderful tea It was given to me by Miss Nan-Hui Though the tea leaves are important the fingertips of the tea servant who brings out the deep flavor are more important.
Try some OK My lord, I am Chief Officer, Lee Won-Hae What's going on? Official Lee Soon-Ho's daughter-in-law died in Nam-San village This needs an investigation Hurry, go check it out Yes Goodness, for something like this to happen when her husband was away Autopsist, what do you think? It may be a natural death, but since she's clothed I can't accurately determine the cause of death It's really hot today so you're lucky the corpse didn't decay In the summer, the smell of a rotting person is the worst Take off her clothes and examine her carefully Yes, my lord Did she eat dinner last night? No, something was bothering her She said she wasn't feeling well so for two days, she didn't eat anything Natural causes? Murder It was set up to look like she died in her sleep Those dumb idiots Fools who can't clean up after themselves do things they can't handle Give me the details I wasn't able to find a weapon-related scar or marks from strangulation I used the examination fluid but I couldn't find a drop of blood It seemed like a natural death but it was strange that her stomach was swollen Didn't they say she hadn't eaten for two days? Couldn't she be pregnant from adultery with another man? I suspected that she died from complications with pregnancy but she wasn't pregnant If we follow the medical journals It's written that we should suspect suffocation in cases like this She must have suffocated This is a piece of window paper I found on her face She was suffocated by a wet piece of window paper covering her face Nothing was stolen and there are no indications of trespassing This is a crime by an insider Any evidence of resistance? Well, there are traces that something was pressing on her arms I suspect that the criminal used his knees to press down on her arms He pressed down on her arms That must have hurt Why did he press down on her arms and assault her? And with his knees too While I was using the examination fluid to look for traces of blood I found something else on her lower body What is it? Evidence of a man It was subtle but I'm positive It could be traces of her husband too It's been over a week since her husband left for the countryside A man's mark doesn't last that long This was clearly a crime of obsession How many men are here on a daily basis? There should be about fifteen It's scary how many there are Our rope is also too short to bind fifteen men How about if you do things like this? Open up your ears wide and listen The lady of this estate was murdered by some idiot causing trouble It's unfortunate, but one of you is the criminal This is an examination fluid we use during autopsy You probably didn't know such a thing exists And this is a piece of window paper All of you know what this is What this window paper means The person who dared to set foot in her chamber last night will know better than anyone else Watch closely Whoever touched the window paper like this last night will get his hand dyed red like this Now let's get this over with quickly so we can eat I couldn't eat breakfast because of you idiots That's it! Take it out What's going on? No one's running away The criminal is the man second from the end who dipped his hand What? My lord, would you take another look at those men? From right to left, they are standing in order of age It's a habit of people who live as slaves However, only that man is out of order and standing with the young slaves He was trying to buy a little time and he kept rubbing his hand on his clothes He'll probably blame it on his hand being numb I'll go to the back door Look here, this idiot looks like a murderer What? It's really hot today so let's go without making me use any force Huh? Why are you doing this my lord? You want a beating?! Hey! Tie this fool up! Stop him! Stop him! While the man of the estate was away a man named Pan-Dol tried and failed to rape the lady several times Fearing a misunderstanding, the lady did not tell her elders And taking advantage of this weakness, the criminal stole her possessions And last night, he ended up raping her The lady's behavior changed and fearing that he would be revealed, he returned and murdered her Although he tried to remove all traces of resistance he could not get rid of all of the pieces of window paper near her mouth Great job I really didn't do too much Chae-Ohk's assistance was huge You did well However, that was not a good strategy Though you brought out the criminal's evil-nature with the test if he had been a careful man, he would not have been fooled If you thought it was an inside job, you should have brought them all to the bureau for investigation How could we have taken that many suspects into custody? A tiger uses all of it's strength when catching even one rabbit When pursuing a murderer Or pursuing a thief You must not be careless when confronting them Geez My lord, I was too thoughtless I am not reprimanding you or telling you to take responsibility Just Do not make any reckless decisions beyond what is necessary That is the role of a Police Bureau's tea servant (Damo) My lord, a letter came from Chilpae My lord, it must be a letter from Jang-Gak Hey, shouldn't we be heading out for this too? I'm sorry You got it too because of me You know me, I'm always like this I don't even eat right and I work I get ridiculed The only thing that matters is that we caught him You and that temper Get up! Thanks for coming here to meet me I'm sorry No, it's fine.
Had you gone to the bureau, you would have drawn attention What have you found? As you commanded, I led a gang of thieves And succeeded in settling in Chilpae And what about the counterfeit money deal? The previous gang received three fake nyangs for every one real nyang But we pay one nyang for two counterfeit nyangs so the gangs with stolen property are really excited Have you gotten into the counterfeiting business? They check three or four times before making deals On top of that, until they initiate the counterfeit money deals we have no way of reaching them Chilpae is becoming a place of great opportunity to thieving gangs The more robberies there are, the more counterfeit coins there will be If the gangs cannot deal with this then gangs including Jang-Gak's will deal with the counterfeiters directly In that instant, they will expose themselves Shouldn't we inform our superior? Counterfeiting is a major crime which shakes the foundations of a nation If we reveal this before we find clear evidence not only will the royal court be uneasy but the counterfeiters will disappear without a trace When the time comes, I will inform him but for now, keep things like they are I will take responsibility Hey, hey, hey! I am guard soldier, Lee Ki-Won! Shut up! Shut up! Where is Officer Lee? He is in the conference room Conference room? Conference room Where your hat properly, fool! Yes, sir! Officer Baek will handle the Chilpae issue What is the matter? Oh my I had no idea you were in a meeting Well umm right now Today is the gyeokgu match against the Right Police Bureau and Oh! Was it today? Officer Lee, Officer Ahn, hurry and go ahead Chae-Ohk, why don't you go with them? Let's all go together Let's go together I am not in a good situation to play gyeokgu right now Officer Baek, please be the leader Yes, my lord! Hey, let's hurry! Get up! Left Police Bureau 15 points! Right Police Bureau 75 points! Everyone gather around! Why are you all so weary? Why are you like this? Why?! When the ref's not looking, at least elbow someone in the face Or jab them with your rod! Listen up Since joining the Left Police Bureau, I've never lost to the Right! If we lose I'll make your lives at the station as much of a living hell as I can! Got it?! Yes, sir Well well, listen to your voices You want some morale? Morale?! Sir! Oh my Officer Lee! The bleeding hasn't stopped? I'm pressing on it because it's not stopping! I'm totally gonna mess up the idiot who clubbed me with his rod! Stay over there! We're playing gyeokgu right now! You want to start a fight? We're short on players as it is This is really driving me crazy Well done! That's a face I haven't seen Who is it? I'm not sure, commander Why, that girl is "That girl"? Are you saying it's a girl? Yes, she's a tea servant at the Left Police Bureau She's called Chae-Ohk Drink! Drink! Drink up people! Drink! Take a drink of this too, Chae-Ohk! Let's flatten those Right Police Bureau idiots' noses No alcohol, I'm fine Come on! Drink! Just one drink would be great You wench! What the heck is this?! Can you really do this, my lord? Who is this boy? H-he is a comrade at the Left Police Bureau Then is he an officer? Well, it's not that Since one of our officers cracked his head so Is he a man? I am very sorry, my lord Aren't you a tea pouring servant? Do they teach servant girls to play gyeokgu at the Left Police Bureau? Why aren't you answering?! I heard that gyeokgu was encouraged as a means for training all soldiers But I did not hear of any national law allowing only noble men to participate What? Why you wench! Where do you think you're giving such a thoughtless remark?! I am part of the Left Police Bureau family as well If you were me, would you ignore a wounded comrade? If I do not even value my comrades how can I call myself a member of the police who value the people? I do not think it is shameful to take the place of a wounded comrade Who?! Who said a warrior's sword could be replaced by a kitchen knife? You really want to die Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness! Commander, I made a mistake This girl didn't do it because she wanted to Well then! Did you tell her to do it? No, I mean I didn't tell her to things just Will you not get on your knees?! Chae-Ohk, beg for forgiveness.
Beg! I will not beg My crime does not require me to beg for forgiveness on my knees Why you little! Stop it! It's also disgusting to draw a sword on a woman! What? How dare this pale faced idiot speak so rudely to me? Stupid jerk! Stop it! Stop this immediately! What the heck did you all just do? Is this how police officers of the Left Police Bureau of Hansung look?! Officer Baek! Yes, my lord Is this the leadership of a senior officer? Well, rather than leadership Since I was the oldest How will you take responsibility for this?! Huh? It was not me The Right Police Bureau men provoked us first Two of the officers of the Right Police Bureau broke an arm The Right Police Bureau will report this to the military if we do not pick someone to take responsibility One person must take responsibility and resign to settle this matter My lord With my marriage last year, I have a son who just turned one I will go It was my fault for starting the brawl I have no parents to support so I would not have anything to worry about from being fired I will go to the Right Police Bureau You idiot, what are you saying? Do you want to be beaten to death? They're just hoping for the chance My lord, if you place all of the blame on one man the rest of us officers will not be at ease Please let all of us receive the punishment together You idiots My lord! How could men who can suffer together not be able to control themselves and come to this? It was customary up to now for the commander to lead in gyukgoo I also hold some of the blame for not finishing up my work ahead of time As your commander I will take responsibility for this incident Only I did not expect my career as an officer to come to an end like this For the past few years, we ate from the same rice pot And despite being overworked and underpaid we encouraged each other keeping in mind our duty to protect the people But This is the result I will go to the Right Police Bureau I'll place my honor on today's incident and will take care of things without a hitch For my successor, assist him well so something like this does not happen again You are dismissed You can not! You were not even there, my lord If it is a commander's place to make orders then it is also his place to take responsibility for them You are dismissed! Sir! Are you really going to send the commander away like that? We were the ones who did it! This is terrible Sir! Are you really going to live like a coward? OK, I get it, idiot Who says I'm not gonna do anything? Hey, Officer Seok, how long has it been since you joined the bureau? This is my eleventh year Eleven years? Then how many has it been for me? If you combine you, me, Officer Lee, and these guys we have over a hundred years of experience, right? I'm saying that in the case that In the case that something happens to the commander, we'll all say we resign If all of us who've served for over ten years quit we'll paralyze the public order and police force of Hansung! So we'll push them with that strength Yeah, that's it! OK? My lord! My lord, I have come to receive my punishment I told him to send someone to take responsibility And he ended up sending you instead? My lord, everything happened because of me Whatever punishment you give me, I will accept it Well now, the girl who was so cocky and arrogant finally comes and gets on her knees You're really a contemptible wench seeing as you change your mind back and forth without any pride I ruined the officers' training I injured an officer of a noble house and I insulted you, my lord I deserve to die.
Please punish me and forgive the Left Police Bureau commander and officers You worthless girl! You dare to take responsibility and settle this with yourself alone?! I beseech you like this My lord, please punish me! I will take whatever punishment you give me Tie a blade around my neck and beat me! Burn onto my forehead that I'm a woman deserving death! Put me into slavery in a mountain village and I won't complain My lord! My lord! Two of my officers broke their arms Break my arm! How could a warrior's arm compare to yours? I don't know about cutting off one of your arms though Why? Did I choose a punishment you didn't want? Though you can take responsibility It's too much for you to give up one arm? Cut it off Will you truly give up one arm? I I will What the heck is this?! My lord! What are you doing here? Commander Hwangbo, you have a very remarkable tea servant Damo Wouldn't you know that she's offered to give up an arm? I was moved by her sincerity so I was about to cut off her arm as she wished Who told you to take responsibility?! My lord! It all happened because of me! Commander Joh, did you learn to use your sword like this? Commander, how can one who can't even control a tea servant be a commander?! My lord, please cut my arm off! You stay out of this! You're only a tea servant My lord, you were not even there I will receive the punishment What a pretty scene Commander Hwangbo, you must really value this girl She is my subordinate More like your whore Sheathe your sword This girl is only a tea servant I will take all of the responsibility Tell me, what must I do? If you want me to change my job, I will go far away If you want me to resign I will resign My my, this is really touching Since you two keep quarrelling, I feel sorrowful and don't know what to do However I can't turn back a sword already drawn, right? Isn't that right, Commander Hwangbo? I said I'd cut off this girl's arm so I must keep my word In return, I will see that all blame for this incident is resolved Stand aside! Commander! I am begging you Didn't I say I would take all responsibility? What meaning would there be in cutting off the arm of a contemptible woman? This girl insulted me! Putting responsibility aside, I will cut off this girl's arm as payback If that is what you truly intend Do as you wish! My lord, please do not do this Cut it off! Though I withdraw my sword today If she falls into my grasp again, I'll cut off her head Does it hurt? Yes It hurts me as well Although you are my subordinate you are no different from a younger sister Don't hurt me My lord Since I was seven, I've been at your side I would lay my life down for you, but I do not want to become an obstacle I have served you for 15 years I know the suffering you went through better than anyone else I do not want to see your dream fall apart because of me I have no intention of sacrificing you in order to achieve my dream These are different from the fakes we saw before Take a look at this This is one new counterfeit coin What do you think? It's hard to tell just by glancing at it Sir, I'm sorry for saying this but You want to say that you're already investigating this in Chilpae? Did you know all along? I've lived as a military officer ever since I came to the Bureau from abroad Don't disregard this old man's sixth sense I felt that it was strange that you were putting more than enough energy into arresting gangs in Chilpae I apologize I didn't know that and I was curious when you'd expose them There's already rumors around the royal court of counterfeit money It will be difficult for any more covert actions now On top of that This counterfeit money conspiracy isn't limited only to Hansung In the south: Dong-rae, Jin-ju, Na-ju, Jeon-ju, Dan-yang, Choong-ju Even in the north, they say counterfeit coins are circulating In Jin-ju, two merchants using counterfeit coins were killed Before there are more victims, we must find the roots Other than small flaws or weight, it's hard to differentiate them I will keep a watch and collect in Hansung Officer Baek will go to Kyung-sang Officer Lee will go to Jeon-rah Province Chae-Ohk, check out Kyung-gi Province This problem shakes the foundations of this nation, so move covertly This tea tastes great You should drink as well Please have some Are you headed out now? There is an elegant joy in the lady's face when she pours tea The tea's flavor is as deep as that A tea servant like me can't follow after her I'm not in a comfortable enough position to savor the tea's flavor How is your arm feeling? The medicine you gave me made it heal a lot Then, I will leave now Chae-Ohk Even if you find the counterfeiters don't move in alone no matter what Please do not worry Young Master Young Master It's been a long time since I heard that Hurry and come back safe Hello! Good morning! Thanks Good morning! Chae-Ohk! Chae-Ohk! It's me! I'm here! Chae-Ohk! Chae-Ohk? Where did she go? Her man's here! Father! Father? I wouldn't say anything if you had a prostitute for your mistress but I won't ever permit a servant class woman! But father! Also Fool, I told you to study at your mother's house Why did you come here? What are you doing here at this time? You didn't even file the death certificate for the Namsan incident yet What? Do you think handling documents is all an employee at the Police Bureau does? Hey! Idiot! What do you hope to become not studying and so intent on police records? Well, I I don't want to take the higher civil service exam What?! Then what? I'm not saying I don't want to take an exam Just not the civil service one Then? The military I'm going to ace the military service exam and work at the Police Bureau! Military service? Hey idiot! Just lose some weight! Father! I got this figure because of all those herbs you gave me when I was young I'll make this into a muscular body very soon Why did you change your mind? Well, I Since you worked here for your whole life of course, I want to follow what you want and You don't have to do what I want And there's nothing that I want of you It looks like you're doing this so you can be with Chae-Ohk but you'll die by my hand first Go back immediately! I don't have any food for you! Father, what about Chae-Ohk? Where did she go? Why you little! She ran away because she didn't want to see your pitiful face, fool! Father! Father! Be careful Please wait! Please wait! Boat man! Please let us on your boat It's all full with people Please take the next boat My child has been vomiting for the past few days It looks like he's going to have to see the doctor across the river Please spare us a little seat If I seat more people, the boat may capsize If someone is not busy, please give your seat to them I'm sorry about your situation but nobody dies immediately from a little vomiting And who here isn't busy? The next boat is in two hours Please save our child Is this his funeral? Stop crying now! For heaven's sake it's not just one person but we need three seats Please get on Thank you! Thank you! You can't.
You can't Please look at the circumstances! Could you please help my child? He's been like this for several days I'm begging you My lord, we have let too much time pass If we just left would you feel comfortable about it? Thank you Take your child and go together Thank you so much! Thank you! Hurry and get on What are you all staring at? I have urgent business as well Isn't only one person necessary to look after the child? My lord, but those people did not give up their seats for you How dare you! Didn't I tell you that I had urgent business? And by law, a nobleman has authority over a commoner so you would have had to give up a seat if there were none left My lord, it will be very difficult to move around if there is a commotion That's why I'm trying to get rid of the commotion Who are you? Please get up Before you think about the law you should bring up your conscience What?! Why you Don't you know how big a crime it is to insult a nobleman? Do you think it's not a crime to insult the commoners? Why you! Why are you doing this? It is proper to give your seat to a nobleman who cares for the royal court and commoners My lord, it's perfectly fine that you took that seat but you should be aware of that seat A child urinated on that seat where I was sitting What did you say?! I thought it smelled funny! Where is it? Where? Help! He is a spirited young man Seeing how he kept his balance on the boat, he doesn't have typical skills If we work together with a man like that It's not a man It's a girl disguised as one Huh? My lord You just returned? It must have been tough This counterfeiting problem is more serious than we thought All of the districts I passed had at least one or two people arrested No need to mention Song-sang, Kyung-sang, or Nae-sang Even tiny little temples have been hit These days, they need a professional to examine coins for transactions How was Hansung? One in ten coins is a fake According to Jang-Gak, thousands of fake nyangs have been released But where's Chae-Ohk? That was delicious! Thank you, good bye! What the This is a fake! Hey, stop right there! You disgusting scoundrels! I'm so out of luck Did they have no one to swindle so they paid with fake coins to get booze? You cheap and dirty scoundrels! Long live and prosper! See what happens if I ever catch them Give it here! I can't just take this by myself I'm going to spend it somewhere! If you spend a counterfeit, that's a large crime Who doesn't know that? If they enforced that, then one in every ten commoners would be arrested Give it to me Regardless of whether it's real or fake, why do you ask for my money? Well then, will you buy a drink? All right Oh dear me I'm so grateful Hurry and take this unlucky coin Please sit down for a moment, OK? This is the first time that I've met a young man as handsome as you OK, now put down your sack It's fine, I'll put it down Here, have a drink Your sack looks very heavy Do you carry around maybe a block of gold or something? If I had gold, would I have become a wanderer like this? Here you go I'm so grateful! My goodness Hope you have more business Where are you going? You reimbursed the money I lost so I should buy you a drink That's fine.
I don't take alcohol very well Then I'll feel sorry You're hungry, right? Why are you getting up in the middle of eating? I'll feel so badly Oh my!

I am very sorry, my lord Aren't you a tea pouring servant? Do they teach servant girls to play gyeokgu at the Left Police Bureau? Why aren't you answering?! I heard that gyeokgu was encouraged as a means for training all soldiers But I did not hear of any national law allowing only noble men to participate What? Why you wench! Where do you think you're giving such a thoughtless remark?! I am part of the Left Police Bureau family as well If you were me, would you ignore a wounded comrade? If I do not even value my comrades how can I call myself a member of the police who value the people? I do not think it is shameful to take the place of a wounded comrade Who?! Who said a warrior's sword could be replaced by a kitchen knife? You really want to die Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness! Commander, I made a mistake This girl didn't do it because she wanted to Well then! Did you tell her to do it? No, I mean I didn't tell her to things just Will you not get on your knees?! Chae-Ohk, beg for forgiveness.
Beg! I will not beg My crime does not require me to beg for forgiveness on my knees Why you little! Stop it! It's also disgusting to draw a sword on a woman! What? How dare this pale faced idiot speak so rudely to me? Stupid jerk! Stop it! Stop this immediately! What the heck did you all just do? Is this how police officers of the Left Police Bureau of Hansung look?! Officer Baek! Yes, my lord Is this the leadership of a senior officer? Well, rather than leadership Since I was the oldest How will you take responsibility for this?! Huh? It was not me The Right Police Bureau men provoked us first Two of the officers of the Right Police Bureau broke an arm The Right Police Bureau will report this to the military if we do not pick someone to take responsibility One person must take responsibility and resign to settle this matter My lord With my marriage last year, I have a son who just turned one I will go It was my fault for starting the brawl I have no parents to support so I would not have anything to worry about from being fired I will go to the Right Police Bureau You idiot, what are you saying? Do you want to be beaten to death? They're just hoping for the chance My lord, if you place all of the blame on one man the rest of us officers will not be at ease Please let all of us receive the punishment together You idiots My lord! How could men who can suffer together not be able to control themselves and come to this? It was customary up to now for the commander to lead in gyukgoo I also hold some of the blame for not finishing up my work ahead of time As your commander I will take responsibility for this incident Only I did not expect my career as an officer to come to an end like this For the past few years, we ate from the same rice pot And despite being overworked and underpaid we encouraged each other keeping in mind our duty to protect the people But This is the result I will go to the Right Police Bureau I'll place my honor on today's incident and will take care of things without a hitch For my successor, assist him well so something like this does not happen again You are dismissed You can not! You were not even there, my lord If it is a commander's place to make orders then it is also his place to take responsibility for them You are dismissed! Sir! Are you really going to send the commander away like that? We were the ones who did it! This is terrible Sir! Are you really going to live like a coward? OK, I get it, idiot Who says I'm not gonna do anything? Hey, Officer Seok, how long has it been since you joined the bureau? This is my eleventh year Eleven years? Then how many has it been for me? If you combine you, me, Officer Lee, and these guys we have over a hundred years of experience, right? I'm saying that in the case that In the case that something happens to the commander, we'll all say we resign If all of us who've served for over ten years quit we'll paralyze the public order and police force of Hansung! So we'll push them with that strength Yeah, that's it! OK? My lord! My lord, I have come to receive my punishment I told him to send someone to take responsibility And he ended up sending you instead? My lord, everything happened because of me Whatever punishment you give me, I will accept it Well now, the girl who was so cocky and arrogant finally comes and gets on her knees You're really a contemptible wench seeing as you change your mind back and forth without any pride I ruined the officers' training I injured an officer of a noble house and I insulted you, my lord I deserve to die.
Please punish me and forgive the Left Police Bureau commander and officers You worthless girl! You dare to take responsibility and settle this with yourself alone?! I beseech you like this My lord, please punish me! I will take whatever punishment you give me Tie a blade around my neck and beat me! Burn onto my forehead that I'm a woman deserving death! Put me into slavery in a mountain village and I won't complain My lord! My lord! Two of my officers broke their arms Break my arm! How could a warrior's arm compare to yours? I don't know about cutting off one of your arms though Why? Did I choose a punishment you didn't want? Though you can take responsibility It's too much for you to give up one arm? Cut it off Will you truly give up one arm? I I will What the heck is this?! My lord! What are you doing here? Commander Hwangbo, you have a very remarkable tea servant Damo Wouldn't you know that she's offered to give up an arm? I was moved by her sincerity so I was about to cut off her arm as she wished Who told you to take responsibility?! My lord! It all happened because of me! Commander Joh, did you learn to use your sword like this? Commander, how can one who can't even control a tea servant be a commander?! My lord, please cut my arm off! You stay out of this! You're only a tea servant My lord, you were not even there I will receive the punishment What a pretty scene Commander Hwangbo, you must really value this girl She is my subordinate More like your whore Sheathe your sword This girl is only a tea servant I will take all of the responsibility Tell me, what must I do? If you want me to change my job, I will go far away If you want me to resign I will resign My my, this is really touching Since you two keep quarrelling, I feel sorrowful and don't know what to do However I can't turn back a sword already drawn, right? Isn't that right, Commander Hwangbo? I said I'd cut off this girl's arm so I must keep my word In return, I will see that all blame for this incident is resolved Stand aside! Commander! I am begging you Didn't I say I would take all responsibility? What meaning would there be in cutting off the arm of a contemptible woman? This girl insulted me! Putting responsibility aside, I will cut off this girl's arm as payback If that is what you truly intend Do as you wish! My lord, please do not do this Cut it off! Though I withdraw my sword today If she falls into my grasp again, I'll cut off her head Does it hurt? Yes It hurts me as well Although you are my subordinate you are no different from a younger sister Don't hurt me My lord Since I was seven, I've been at your side I would lay my life down for you, but I do not want to become an obstacle I have served you for 15 years I know the suffering you went through better than anyone else I do not want to see your dream fall apart because of me I have no intention of sacrificing you in order to achieve my dream These are different from the fakes we saw before Take a look at this This is one new counterfeit coin What do you think? It's hard to tell just by glancing at it Sir, I'm sorry for saying this but You want to say that you're already investigating this in Chilpae? Did you know all along? I've lived as a military officer ever since I came to the Bureau from abroad Don't disregard this old man's sixth sense I felt that it was strange that you were putting more than enough energy into arresting gangs in Chilpae I apologize I didn't know that and I was curious when you'd expose them There's already rumors around the royal court of counterfeit money It will be difficult for any more covert actions now On top of that This counterfeit money conspiracy isn't limited only to Hansung In the south: Dong-rae, Jin-ju, Na-ju, Jeon-ju, Dan-yang, Choong-ju Even in the north, they say counterfeit coins are circulating In Jin-ju, two merchants using counterfeit coins were killed Before there are more victims, we must find the roots Other than small flaws or weight, it's hard to differentiate them I will keep a watch and collect in Hansung Officer Baek will go to Kyung-sang Officer Lee will go to Jeon-rah Province Chae-Ohk, check out Kyung-gi Province This problem shakes the foundations of this nation, so move covertly This tea tastes great You should drink as well Please have some Are you headed out now? There is an elegant joy in the lady's face when she pours tea The tea's flavor is as deep as that A tea servant like me can't follow after her I'm not in a comfortable enough position to savor the tea's flavor How is your arm feeling? The medicine you gave me made it heal a lot Then, I will leave now Chae-Ohk Even if you find the counterfeiters don't move in alone no matter what Please do not worry Young Master Young Master It's been a long time since I heard that Hurry and come back safe Hello! Good morning! Thanks Good morning! Chae-Ohk! Chae-Ohk! It's me! I'm here! Chae-Ohk! Chae-Ohk? Where did she go? Her man's here! Father! Father? I wouldn't say anything if you had a prostitute for your mistress but I won't ever permit a servant class woman! But father! Also Fool, I told you to study at your mother's house Why did you come here? What are you doing here at this time? You didn't even file the death certificate for the Namsan incident yet What? Do you think handling documents is all an employee at the Police Bureau does? Hey! Idiot! What do you hope to become not studying and so intent on police records? Well, I I don't want to take the higher civil service exam What?! Then what? I'm not saying I don't want to take an exam Just not the civil service one Then? The military I'm going to ace the military service exam and work at the Police Bureau! Military service? Hey idiot! Just lose some weight! Father! I got this figure because of all those herbs you gave me when I was young I'll make this into a muscular body very soon Why did you change your mind? Well, I Since you worked here for your whole life of course, I want to follow what you want and You don't have to do what I want And there's nothing that I want of you It looks like you're doing this so you can be with Chae-Ohk but you'll die by my hand first Go back immediately! I don't have any food for you! Father, what about Chae-Ohk? Where did she go? Why you little! She ran away because she didn't want to see your pitiful face, fool! Father! Father! Be careful Please wait! Please wait! Boat man! Please let us on your boat It's all full with people Please take the next boat My child has been vomiting for the past few days It looks like he's going to have to see the doctor across the river Please spare us a little seat If I seat more people, the boat may capsize If someone is not busy, please give your seat to them I'm sorry about your situation but nobody dies immediately from a little vomiting And who here isn't busy? The next boat is in two hours Please save our child Is this his funeral? Stop crying now! For heaven's sake it's not just one person but we need three seats Please get on Thank you! Thank you! You can't.
You can't Please look at the circumstances! Could you please help my child? He's been like this for several days I'm begging you My lord, we have let too much time pass If we just left would you feel comfortable about it? Thank you Take your child and go together Thank you so much! Thank you! Hurry and get on What are you all staring at? I have urgent business as well Isn't only one person necessary to look after the child? My lord, but those people did not give up their seats for you How dare you! Didn't I tell you that I had urgent business? And by law, a nobleman has authority over a commoner so you would have had to give up a seat if there were none left My lord, it will be very difficult to move around if there is a commotion That's why I'm trying to get rid of the commotion Who are you? Please get up Before you think about the law you should bring up your conscience What?! Why you Don't you know how big a crime it is to insult a nobleman? Do you think it's not a crime to insult the commoners? Why you! Why are you doing this? It is proper to give your seat to a nobleman who cares for the royal court and commoners My lord, it's perfectly fine that you took that seat but you should be aware of that seat A child urinated on that seat where I was sitting What did you say?! I thought it smelled funny! Where is it? Where? Help! He is a spirited young man Seeing how he kept his balance on the boat, he doesn't have typical skills If we work together with a man like that It's not a man It's a girl disguised as one Huh? My lord You just returned? It must have been tough This counterfeiting problem is more serious than we thought All of the districts I passed had at least one or two people arrested No need to mention Song-sang, Kyung-sang, or Nae-sang Even tiny little temples have been hit These days, they need a professional to examine coins for transactions How was Hansung? One in ten coins is a fake According to Jang-Gak, thousands of fake nyangs have been released But where's Chae-Ohk? That was delicious! Thank you, good bye! What the This is a fake! Hey, stop right there! You disgusting scoundrels! I'm so out of luck Did they have no one to swindle so they paid with fake coins to get booze? You cheap and dirty scoundrels! Long live and prosper! See what happens if I ever catch them Give it here! I can't just take this by myself I'm going to spend it somewhere! If you spend a counterfeit, that's a large crime Who doesn't know that? If they enforced that, then one in every ten commoners would be arrested Give it to me Regardless of whether it's real or fake, why do you ask for my money? Well then, will you buy a drink? All right Oh dear me I'm so grateful Hurry and take this unlucky coin Please sit down for a moment, OK? This is the first time that I've met a young man as handsome as you OK, now put down your sack It's fine, I'll put it down Here, have a drink Your sack looks very heavy Do you carry around maybe a block of gold or something? If I had gold, would I have become a wanderer like this? Here you go I'm so grateful! My goodness Hope you have more business Where are you going? You reimbursed the money I lost so I should buy you a drink That's fine.
I don't take alcohol very well Then I'll feel sorry You're hungry, right? Why are you getting up in the middle of eating? I'll feel so badly Oh my!
