Get rid of Park Jinhan.
Yungang!
Yeonha!
She's Park Jinhan's daughter.
I'm the one they're after.
Father!
Father!
Since it's been proved
that Park Jinhan was a traitor...
You must be mistaken. He's not a traitor.
I'm here to catch the gunman
who killed my father.
I'll consider you that gunman.
He'll cause us a lot of trouble later.
We have to take care of him.
Yungang, if you get caught, they'll kill you.
I wanted to spend every day with you.
Stay alive no matter what.
When we meet again, we'll be together forever.
Please take care of yourself.
(3 Years Later, Jemulpo)
Hogyeong. Hurry!
Okay, okay.
Move!
Who are these people?
I don't know.
Let's get out of here. It's dangerous.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
They still use swords in Joseon?
Wait!
(Episode 5)
I'm Choi Wonsin.
I'm a Joseon merchant.
Why are you translating?
I speak the Joseon language.
But Mr. Ganemaru doesn't.
Is Ganemaru talking now?
Is Ganemaru in charge here?
Sorry.
Use your brain, for Pete's sake.
I'm Hasegawa Hanjo.
You can call me 'Hanjo.'
You speak our language quite well.
I grew up in Osaka.
I've hung out with Joseon people
since I was little.
Right.
You seem to know your way around a gun.
Where did you learn how to shoot a gun?
Why should I tell you that kind of information?
Sorry, I was just...
Why did you want to see me?
First of all, I hope you had a good trip.
The weather wasn't agreeable...
Stop. No small talk.
Okay.
I heard that you're looking for business
partners during your stay in Hanyang.
If you don't mind,
I want to offer you my place.
I also have a good business offer
for Mr. Yamamoto.
Where did you get all this information?
Who's coming? Why he's coming?
I know Mr. Haneda
from the Japanese Consulate.
Haneda...
If you pay him, he'll do anything for you.
'A merchant who bribes doesn't have
good quality items.'
That's what he said.
Bye.
He's quite rude.
Lady Suin, let's go back.
I don't like this place.
Stop. I know what I'm doing.
Lady Suin, I have a bad feeling about this.
The people look scary...
You worry too much.
Nothing's going to happen.
Young Master Yungang, can you stop her?
What makes you think she'll listen to me?
Let's finish this quickly and get out of here.
This is crazy.
Why don't you pay me?
Sure.
Here.
By the way, what's that?
Gun powder.
Why? Do you need some?
No.
Let's go.
Okay.
Constables!
Suin. Hurry!
This is our travel permit.
As you can see, he's Japanese.
It doesn't concern you, a constable of Joseon.
Okay. You can go.
Thank you.
Let's go.
It's all clear.
Too many headaches.
Clear the way. Quick! Quick!
What the heck?
Are you okay?
My camera.
Leave it.
No!
Lady Suin, hurry!
How dare they? Hey!
You idiots! Stop right there!
What is this?
Mr. Hanjo.
The boat for Mapo will be here soon.
Another boat?
I'm sick of them.
Then use a horse.
What is it now?
I thought it'd be more comfortable for you.
When you get to Mapo, you need to ride
a horse to the capital anyway.
If you don't mind, ride mine.
Looks like a fine horse.
You have an eye for horses.
Ride this one.
What about you?
We'll go by boat.
You're an important person to us.
We don't mind.
Okay. If that's what you want.
I gather you'll stay at our place?
I haven't decided yet.
What about you?
As long as you're okay with it.
How about you?
This Joseon merchant wants to serve us.
You shouldn't receive any services, first.
He says as long as there's alcohol.
Sure.
Tell him to make an appointment to see you.
He wants girls as well.
He's a bit picky.
Don't worry.
You'll be comfortable at our place.
Good. I'll see you later.
In Hanyang.
Sure.
Let's go.
That could've been a disaster.
I heard that some smugglers
trade gun powder.
I think they're that kind.
Why? Are you upset?
Lady Suin, stop frowning.
We're lucky to be back alive.
You could've gotten us all killed.
Don't worry.
I'll look into getting another camera.
I'm not worried about the camera,
I thought I saw Yungang at the port earlier.
The guy that I bumped into
looked just like him.
Suin.
I know that Yungang passed away.
But they were identical.
Didn't you see him?
Jani, what about you?
Stop this nonsense.
You were okay for a while. Don't start.
Let's go inside. Your mother might be worried.
She's right. You must've been mistaken.
I'm going to see him again.
Suin.
You never know.
If I meet him again,
I might be able to find my camera.
She sure can dance.
Yes.
Have a drink.
Oh my! How pretty!
Pour me a drink.
Good. There you go.
Your name is Maehyang.
What does that mean?
It means 'the sweet smell of plum blossoms.'
Is that so?
Plum flowers blossom in winter,
yet how did they blossom in summer?
I don't know.
I guess I felt bad that winter was too short.
You're good.
Have another drink.
Sure.
Maehyang.
Let me see how different
a Joseon gisaeng's skin is.
Mr. Hanjo!
Hyewon.
Everybody! Out!
Yes, ma'am.
That's enough.
No. If you have something to say, go ahead.
Yes, I have to say this.
We're trying to do business
with a fellow human,
not with a beast who doesn't
know any manners.
A beast?
If you want to talk about business,
I want you to behave from now on.
If not, I don't want to see you anymore.
What's wrong with you?
Can't I touch a gisaeng in Joseon?
It's not that...
Enough.
You must be tired.
Why don't you get some rest?
Since you seem to like gisaengs,
I'll tell you about a good gisaeng house.
Okay.
I guess this is the end of our relationship.
Thank you for the food.
How dare they?
You didn't have to do that.
A merchant's pride should stay in his pocket,
until he makes a profit.
Remember that.
I'm sorry.
We'll find another way.
Leave it to me.
By the way, that guy Hanjo looks so familiar.
What do you mean?
Never mind. I'm just being silly.
You've finally come back to Joseon.
I know. It's been 3 years.
What was that all about earlier?
You wanted to enter Choi Wonsin's place.
Don't worry. They'll come to me again.
They're desperate to open trade with Japan.
They've already sent a letter to Yamamoto.
You're going to keep them on edge?
You can be nasty at times.
(3 Years Ago, Japan) You want to go back?
Yes. I have to go back to Joseon.
Don't be silly.
If you go back now, you'll die.
(Kim Okgyun) As soon as you arrive in Joseon,
soldiers will pursue you.
You'll die after being chased a while.
Am I wrong?
Be smart if you want to get your revenge.
You don't just start a fight.
When you know that you can win,
you fight to prove that you're right.
You have to make yourself strong,
That's what you have to do first.
After that, you can go to Joseon.
Let's do this.
Where should I start?
The Palace Patrol.
The Palace Patrol?
Find out why Park Jinhan was framed
in the first place.
Can you do that?
Sure.
I lived in Hanyang until I was 15.
I also worked as a spy for the Police Bureau.
I'm counting on you.
What about you?
Me?
I might take a tour of some gisaeng houses.
You always do the fun stuff.
If you don't like it, go back to Japan.
I'll see you later.
Take your time.
Easy. Easy.
This is a so called a telescope from Italy,
You can see the town next to you.
Did you find anything?
That's 5 nyang.
There are all useless.
What?
Look how the joint isn't smoothly welded.
This wasn't made in Japan.
The iron in Japan has poor quality.
That's why they're good at refining metal.
This tube made of brass is from Switzerland.
It's a fairly low grade telescope.
But he's charging twice as much
while lying that it's from Italy.
Unbelievable!
Look at this! This globe isn't even tilted.
If this is straight up, how can season change?
Lady Suin, stop...
Why?
Good luck with your business.
Come on.
She doesn't know what she's talking about.
I'm going back to Jemulpo next month.
What?
I'm not giving up.
I dreamt about that camera all night.
Where have you been?
In the market.
Where are you going?
The Enlightenment Party gathering?
Yes. I have some other business as well.
What other businesses?
That Japanese guy that you mentioned.
I'm going to see if I can find him.
Don't worry about it. You're a busy man.
I don't want you to waste
your time because of me.
I'm doing it because I want to.
See you later.
I'm doing it because I want to.
Wow! He's also a smooth talker.
I'm jealous of you.
What do you mean?
You're lucky to have him.
You're going to marry him, right?
You guys made a promise to get married,
right?
What are you talking about?
We did no such a thing.
Don't lie to me. I'm not stupid.
Stop.
Let's hurry.
After lunch, I have somewhere to go.
Where?
Unjongga Street.
I might be able to find a camera there.
Are you only interested in new items?
What are you talking about?
You were very interested
in changing our society.
New Joseon, reform, etc, etc.
It's useless.
What?
Our society won't change easily.
Even though we opened the port,
porters are always porters.
Nobles will always be nobles.
People didn't realize that.
That's why they died.
Master Hyeonam, Master Ogyeong,
and even Yungang's father passed away
meaninglessly in the turmoil.
Lady Suin, don't say that.
What do you want me to say?
Because of that, Yungang passed away as well.
I don't even know if Yeonha is dead or alive.
Have you seen anything change?
I'm done with it. I forgot everything.
I forgot Yungang, Yeonha and everything.
Take this. It'll show you which way to go.
Wherever you are,
this will help you find your way.
I'll take care of Yeonha.
I'll save her and take care of her.
Take care. Stay alive no matter what.
Then, we'll meet again for sure.
When we meet again,
we'll be together forever.
Mr. Hanjo.
I know who it was.
It was Son Taeksu.
He's the one who framed Park Jinhan.
Read this.
It's a palace newsletter from 3 years go.
Park Jinhan, the head of the Palace Patrol,
was beheaded while trying to frame
Regent Heungseon.
Son Taeksu, who tipped off
the police about Park, was promoted to
the head of the Palace Patrol...
Is this guy still with the Palace Patrol?
He quit.
He's living a luxurious life
on the outskirts of Hanyang.
This is where he lives.
I saw someone spying on Son Taeksu's house.
Who was it?
I don't know, but he was a constable.
A constable?
Someone powerful is protecting Son Taeksu.
If not, how else could he afford a concubine?
Darn it!
Where can I find a pretty girl like that?
Pull yourself together. What are you doing?
Pull yourself together. Don't get distracted.
I'm going to catch him for Yungang.
(Investigation Report)
I'm busy. I have no time to play chess.
Who are you?
I'm the new Vice Head. I started yesterday.
It was your day off.
This is not alcohol. It's a tonic.
I need energy.
I'll finish it off right away.
Can you bring me a doctor?
Sorry. I didn't recognize you.
It's been a while.
I guess you pulled some strings.
It's not easy to come back to the capital
once you've been transferred to the border.
His Highness brought me back secretly.
He wanted me to reinvestigate the gunmen case.
You're working for me from now on.
What?
You were the only constable who was looking
after those gunmen three years ago.
I still remember that.
I was just after the prize money.
You have to risk your life,
like Park Jinhan did.
I think you're mistaken.
My mother told me not to risk my life,
no matter what.
What are you talking about?
Even your friend died.
I feel bad about it, too.
But my father told me that people left
behind should keep on living.
I've already told His Majesty.
When I come back,
I'll use you as my right hand man.
If you disobey me,
it's the same as disobeying His Highness.
I guess you have every right to do that, but...
Go back.
Keep your eyes on Son Taeksu at all times.
Sir, I'm not who you think I am.
Sir, I'm sorry.
Sir!
(King Gojong) That constable. Is he a reliable person?
He's a little clumsy,
but I think he'll do what he's supposed to do.
What have you found out so far?
As you've already guessed,
the power outside of the palace and
the subjects are working closely together
They're using the name of 'the Conservatives.'
The Conservatives?
Large landowners and influential scholars
are members.
Minister Kim Byeongje, Choi Hyeonji,
who has become a minister recently,
Jeong Inwoo and Song Hyeongsik
are also deeply involved.
Who's leading them?
Kim Jwayeong,
the head of the Andong Kim Clan.
I assumed as much.
I'm going to find evidence
which will prove their crimes.
For the moment,
I'm keeping an eye on Son Taeksu,
who gave false testimony.
Okay.
Be careful.
Yes, Your Highness.
It's Son Taeksu.
He framed Park Jinhan.
(The Residence of Son Taeksu)
The good old days are over.
A stakeout on my first day?
How much worse could it get?
Darn mosquitoes. Why so many of them?
Chunok!
Chunok!
Son Taeksu!
Who are you?
Park Jinhan.
Park Jinhan?
Yes,
the head of the Palace Patrol, Park Jinhan.
I owe him my life.
Father! Father!
Father!
Father!
Because he protected me, I'm still alive.
What is it that you want?
Everything.
Everything?
Yes. The one who framed him.
The gunmen.
The man who hired the gunmen.
I'm going to kill them all.
What are you talking about?
If you say that you don't know,
I'll pull the trigger.
I'll count to three.
Who told you to go to the Investigation
Bureau and make a false statement?
If I speak, they'll kill me.
One!
They'll kill my family.
Even my old mother.
Two!
Please. I just did what they asked me to do.
I'm serious.
Please don't kill me.
Three.
Deliver my message.
What?
Deliver my message to him.
I'll wait for him on the night of the full moon.
Right at the place where
Park Jinhan was killed.
Remember.
If he doesn't show up, I'll kill you.
Where have all the mosquitoes gone?
Stop!
What were you doing at Son Taeksu's place?
My arm! My arm!
Please let me go.
We can talk it out.
Han Jeonghun, long time no see.
It's been 3 years.
What are you trying to prove now?
Even if you reinvestigate the case,
all the evidence might be gone.
No evidence has disappeared.
All the guys who are in charge are still alive.
They're my evidence.
But...
I've never forgotten the name Park Jinhan.
He died for me and was beheaded by me.
I have to finish this fight for him.
Are you going home now?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Thank you for working so hard.
Good night.
Thank you, Your Highness.
He looks like one of the interpreters,
who works for the palace.
But whenever His Majesty has a gathering
with his aides, he's always invited.
Then...
I think he's secretly working
as His Majesty's spy.
A spy.
Yes, sir.
I think His Majesty's up to something.
You're right.
Jeong Hoeryeong has been helping
those scholars who are advocates of reform,
all along.
I think he's giving His Majesty advice.
Then, what are we waiting for?
We're in no hurry.
Let's just wait and see.
Let's find out first what
His Majesty wants to do.
Dig into it.
She went to Jemulpo the other day,
and came back with a sullen look.
She couldn't get what she wanted.
How long do I have to watch her do
silly things like that?
She often stays out at night.
She goes to Jemulpo as if it were next door.
Stop.
Dear.
It's better than her sitting in her room all day.
Ever since Yungang died,
she lived like a corpse for 3 years.
I'm glad she's decided to leave her room.
Oh my.
My camera.
I almost got him,
but he attacked me from behind.
I thought he was after Son Taeksu,
but I was wrong.
He was after me all along.
I quit.
I think I'm his target.
You don't seem to believe me.
If you know, stop.
Sir, I'm not joking.
Leave me.
Go ahead, and lead me to your boss.
What's going on? I thought we were done.
I have a business offer for Mr. Yamamoto.
I'm sorry but I don't want to hear it.
You have to.
What?
If you're Mr. Yamamoto's agent,
behave like one.
Don't let your personal feelings get in the way.
Go back. Now!
If you disregard my offer,
you might cause Mr. Yamamoto financial loss.
If Mr. Yamamoto finds out about it,
you'll have to take full responsibility.
Are you threatening me now?
If you think I am, then yes.
You sure are something.
I like you. You know how to do business.
I like you, too, Mr. Hanjo.
That's why I came back.
Good.
Why don't we discuss the details over a drink?
Let's go.
You probably want to buy and distribute
Japanese industrial products.
What do you want to sell?
Rice? Barely?
Gold.
Gold?
Yes,
I want to develop a gold mine.
Invest in it. You'll make a huge profit.
It's not easy to develop a gold mine.
You need a lot of money.
That's why poor countries can't do it themselves
and sell the rights to other countries.
I want to do it myself.
That's why I need Mr. Yamamoto's help.
Is everything else ready?
The vein of gold?
Are you sure?
The land?
I bought it.
The explosives expert?
We don't use pickaxes anymore.
I know.
We need to use explosives to speed things up.
An expert will be arriving from Qing.
I'll personally check on everything.
Rough gold, land ownership,
an explosives expert.
When will everything be ready?
Come back in 2 days.
Good. I'll do that.
You bastard!
Cheongpunggwan?
Yes, he's staying there at the moment.
He's a wealthy merchant from Japan.
If he still has it,
you can get your camera back.
Let's go.
How did it go?
It went well.
I'm glad.
If things go well,
I'll get him to stay at our place.
Is that completely necessary?
There are other people
who want to develop gold mines.
Before they hear the rumor and contact Hanjo,
we need to isolate him.
Sir, it's Yuntaek.
He's here.
Come on in.
Where is the guy from Qing?
Well... He had a change of heart.
A Western company in Qing offered him
twice as much as we offered him.
You lost him?
Yes.
When I turned the corner, he attacked me.
After all, he was a spy.
What are you going to do now?
If I were the gunman,
I would kill Son Taeksu first.
Because he could be the source of the trouble.
If that's the case, they won't catch me.
What are you talking about?
Mr. Hanjo.
There are people who want to see you.
Why don't you take care of it?
Yes, sir.
He's not seeing anyone today. Go back.
We're not here to talk business.
Then, why are you here?
We're here to collect what's mine.
Collect?
Two days ago,
I misplaced my camera in Jemulpo,
and the guy who was at the scene
is staying here.
I just want to ask him a few questions.
If that's why you want to meet him, leave.
Mr. Hanjo is an extremely busy man.
It'll just take a minute. Let me see him.
I said no.
What's the noise?
Leave. You're bothering him.
It won't take long.
Just go.
I guess we'll have to come back some other time.
- Hey. / - Yes, sir.
The room is so damp.
We need to heat the floor.
Who can I talk to about this?
Suin.
Hello!
Excuse me.
Can I talk to you for a minute?
Can I ask you something?
What do you think you're doing?
My camera...
What are you doing?
Wait!
Who do you think this gentleman is?
Sorry.
Get out.
Go. Quickly.
Go on.
Are you okay?
What about the camera?
Something fishy is going on.
They're hiding something.
Why else would they be avoiding me?
I'm going to find out
what they're hiding and where my camera is.
I told you not to come here.
Sorry, but this is an urgent matter.
Sir, a guy showed up.
He knows what happened 3 years ago.
What?
He said he owed his life to Park Jinhan,
and he wants to get revenge.
He threatened me in an attempt
to get your name.
What did you say?
I didn't tell him anything.
He told me to deliver this message to you.
He said he'd wait where Park Jinhan died
on the night of the full moon.
Sir, please help me.
He had a gun.
It was a new style gun.
I didn't smell the wick burning.
Okay. Go back to your place.
Okay. I'm counting on you.
Go get Mudeok.
Yes, sir.
What's going on?
Son Taeksu has a problem.
What problem?
A gunman appeared.
Mr. Choi Wonsin sent me.
Yes.
I have a place for you until things settle down.
Okay.
Where are you taking me?
Are you taking me to an isolated place to...
I didn't say anything. Swear to god.
Please.
I'm not trying to hurt you.
What?
The gunman behind you.
He's been following you
since you left your house.
I'm not falling for that.
He saw my face.
I'm sorry, but he was hard to beat.
It may sound strange,
but I felt like Park Jinhan
had come back with a gun.
Park Jinhan?
Yes. He was fast and strong.
Take your best men.
Set a trap and wait for him.
Yes, sir.
Before you kill him, find out who he is,
and who sent him.
Yes, sir.
Why the long face?
Did something happen?
You know why? My camera.
It wasn't easy to get.
Why do you want it so badly?
Why not? Aren't you curious?
How that thing can capture
humans or objects the way they are?
A camera is way more accurate than the artist,
who paints His Highness's face.
My camera.
That camera. Can I check into it?
Are you serious?
But you have to do me a favor in return.
A favor?
Good.
Where is this expert?
On the way.
Did you forget anything?
I don't think so.
I couldn't sleep at night.
Then, it dawned on me
that you can handle gun powder.
I'm not that good.
I can't make explosives. I make fireworks.
You don't have to make explosives today.
It's just a small experiment.
They want to know if
you can handle gun powder.
You can do that, right?
But...
Please help me out here.
I'll find another expert.
Okay.
Thank you. I'll definitely pay you.
And I'll get your camera as well.
Hyewon.
Let's go.
Get ready.
Okay.
We're here.
Come on in.
Yes.
The gun powder expert is here.
Send him in.
Come on in.
Say hi to him. This is Mr. Hanjo.
How do you do?
Yungang.
(Gunman in Joseon)
Park Yungang? Do I look like him?
Come to think of it, you do.
Not bad. You still remember.
Find out about Hanjo.
Find out everything about him.
Stop flirting with me.
Flirting?
You've been all doe-eye with me.
Do you have a thing for
a rich Japanese merchant?
How dare you?
Don't call me by that filthy Joseon guy's name.
Park Yungang is dead.
He was reborn.
You haven't met anyone,
or had contact with anyone at all.
Who are you?
I'm the son of Park Jinhan, Park Yungang.
