Yeonha. I think that's the one we just sold.
Sold? What are you talking about?
Yungang.
What do you think you're doing?
It's me, Yeonha.
You crazy wench.
Was he your brother?
I need to get her out now.
If she remains there,
terrible things could happen to her.
Mr. Song, who came to visit today,
seems to like her.
You can't do that.
We have no choice.
Father.
I can't just give up now. Never.
Gunpowder that makes lots of smoke?
Very smoky so that you can't see
an inch in front of you.
Please.
No!
Come here.
Yeonha.
Yeonha.
Yungang.
Yeonha.
Yeonha.
Yungang.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Don't lose them.
That way!
Yeonha, go through that gate.
What about you?
I'll be right behind you.
Go on.
Yeonha.
Yungang.
Yes, it's me.
I'm your brother.
I didn't think I'd see you again.
Ever.
We're okay now.
I'll protect you from now on.
Yungang.
(Episode 9)
Boss! Boss!
Yes.
This is what I was telling you about.
This is his sister.
You've come a long way.
I'm sorry to inconvenience you.
No problem.
You've taken good care of my brother.
I'll get some clothes for her.
Why don't you catch up while I'm gone?
I'll come with you.
Where is this place?
You'll stay here for now.
By myself?
Just for now.
If you stay here, I'll come and get you soon.
You trust me, right?
Good.
I'm sorry, Yeonha.
What do you mean?
I should've come for you earlier.
It's okay.
I'm just glad to be reunited with you.
I don't want anything more.
What's wrong with your hair?
Huh?
Is it weird?
A little.
If father saw it,
he would've given you an earful.
I know.
Hello.
Hi.
Mr. Hanjo.
Thank you.
You can go inside and get some rest.
- Yes, sir. / - Yes, sir.
Let's go.
You're just getting back now?
Yes.
What are you doing here so late at night?
I have some urgent business to discuss.
By the way, where did you go
all dressed up like that?
Where have you been?
Ah, yes.
I went to Anseong.
I dressed comfortably
since it's a long journey.
Anseong?
Yes. I met grain dealers.
What's going on?
What's this urgent business
you want to discuss?
It's about Mr. Song.
Have you heard about it?
What do you mean?
Last night, Mr. Song was shot by a gunman
and died.
Mr. Song died?
How did it happen?
You tell me.
Moreover, the guy who shot Mr. Song,
took one of Mr. Song's slaves with him.
A slave?
Yes. You also met her.
The girl who thought you were her brother
a few days ago at my place.
Do you remember her?
Right. I remember her.
She was being silly, so I had to slap her.
That's right.
I wonder if that guy Yungang has come back
as a gunman to rescue his sister.
How?
You told me that he was dead.
But we never found his body.
He might still be alive somewhere.
If he is, he'll do everything to find
the gunman who killed his father.
Why are you telling me these things?
Do you think I'm that guy?
How could I?
I just thought you should know.
That's why I'm telling you this.
Is that so?
Well, thank you.
Actually, I'm completely exhausted.
Can we talk about this tomorrow?
Is that okay with you?
Sure.
That sounds good.
Excuse me.
I'm sure of it. Hanjo is that gunman.
Send someone to Anseong,
and find out if he actually met
any grain dealers in Anseong.
Yes, sir.
(King Gojong) Song, the Minister of Justice was shot?
What are you talking about?
That's exactly what I told you, Your Majesty.
Last night, a thug broke into Mr. Song's place,
shot him with a gun, and fled.
How did it happen?
The rumor has spread throughout
the entire capital.
People are trembling in fear.
Please let the Investigative Bureau
get to the bottom of this.
I agree, Your Majesty.
The current Minister of Justice was
shot to death.
The government officials don't feel
that they're safe anymore.
Go ahead,
let the Investigative Bureau start
investigating, catch the gunman,
and get to the bottom of this.
Yes, Your Highness.
An unknown gunman did it.
I don't think he's one of the ones,
who work for the Conservatives.
Check into him quickly.
We're keeping an eye
on the Minister of Justice.
He shouldn't have died like this.
Move before the Investigative Bureau.
We need to find out who did this.
Yes, Your Majesty.
(Kim Jwayeong) On the night that Mr. Song died,
I heard that you sent gunmen to his place.
Did you forget what I said about
keeping a low profile for now?
I'm sorry, sir,
but the gunman who killed Mudeok
was looking for Park Jinhan's daughter,
and I heard Park Jinhan's daughter had gone
to Mr. Song's place a few days ago.
I knew he'd be there sooner or later.
Shut up!
You don't make those kinds of decisions.
I'm your owner.
Have you forgotten that already?
If you disobey me one more time,
I won't let it slide and you know I'm serious.
Yes, sir.
Her name is Yeonha and
she's about 14 years old.
She was at Cho Wonsin's before
and came here a few days ago.
I really don't know.
Many slaves fled during the commotion.
Please think about it.
- Go ahead and do your thing. / - Yes, sir.
Have you found out anything?
Any witnesses?
Many people heard the gunshot,
but no one saw the gunman.
What are you talking about?
There was a fire last night,
and everybody was in shock.
Several slaves fled in the commotion.
A fire?
Where did the fire start?
Well...
They said that there was smoke
near the storehouse.
The storehouse?
Yes, the storehouse.
The smoke started at the storehouse
spread over the entire residence.
They said they smelled rotten eggs.
I don't know what they're talking about.
Find out about more about the smoke.
How should I know?
He always gives me difficult assignments.
Smoke is smoke. What else?
Gunpowder?
What do you want to learn about it?
It's dangerous stuff.
It's not.
If you mix it with accurate rations.
Don't even think about it.
Your mother will be worried sick.
Father, I really want to learn.
Gunpowder is not just a dangerous thing.
You know it.
If used properly, it can be very useful.
Suin.
Father,
it's been a while since I felt this feeling.
This feeling that
I want to know about something.
I just want to know.
Please let me, father.
If you insist, I'll let you learn about it,
but don't dwell on it too long.
I don't want your mother to be worried.
Really?
You're giving me permission, right?
Thank you, father. Thank you so much.
What are you two talking about?
Hello, mother.
Nothing.
We were just talking about this and that.
Are you planning something bad without me?
Stop.
Why don't you go ahead?
Yes, father.
Where are you going?
It's between her and me.
Let's go inside.
Stop.
Lady Suin.
Jeonghun.
Something that makes smoke without fire?
By the way, is such a thing possible?
If you get rid of the saltpeter
when you make explosives, it could happen.
Why do you want to know?
The Minister of Justice was shot last night.
What?
At his place, there was smoke
that smelled of sulfur.
At Minister Song's place?
Thank you anyway.
I had no one else to ask.
I heard you knew about gunpowder,
so I came to see you.
If you'll excuse me.
Wait a minute.
What is it?
Maybe what I said is incorrect.
I need to see it myself
to find out exactly what it is.
This is what I made for Mr. Hanjo.
Gunpowder that makes lots of smoke?
Very smoky,
so that you can't see an inch in front of you.
Can you do that?
No way.
Sir.
What is it?
The slave that you asked me about?
The one from Mr. Choi Wonsin's place.
Someone saw her.
A gunman took her with him.
Why don't we talk about it outside?
Go ahead. Do your thing.
Are you done?
Yes. What was that all about?
Why did the gunman take the slave?
Well. I don't know.
I guess he needed a slave or something.
By the way, is that it?
The gunpowder that you talked about?
No. I really don't know.
It might be, but it might not be.
Don't worry about it.
If you don't know,
I'll find another explosives expert.
Okay.
He was sure that I was the gunman
who killed Mr. Song.
We're in trouble, aren't we?
We need to be prepared.
Before he hits us.
Excuse me, Mr. Hanjo.
What is it?
Lady Suin is here to see you.
She said you'd take her
to the explosives expert.
Right.
Send her in.
Lady Suin.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Do you have something you want to say?
Can I ask you something?
What is it? Go ahead.
What did you do with
the gunpowder I gave you?
It came in very handy.
Can I ask you where you used it?
I used it for a good cause.
That's all you need to know.
You shouldn't tell anyone about it.
Why do I have to keep it a secret?
Is there any reason?
Why do you keep prying?
Excuse me?
Don't you want to learn
how to make explosives?
If you keep bothering me,
I'll call everything off.
What are you talking about?
If you really want to learn about explosives,
stop bothering me and just follow me.
Wait, Mr. Hanjo! Wait for me.
Use her as your assistant and teach her.
She knows the basics, so she'll learn quickly.
Take her to the tunnels
and show her how things are done.
Well... That's just...
I'm sorry, but I don't use girls as my assistant.
It's bad luck that might cause an accident.
They say that if a girl comes into the tunnel,
the vein might get blocked.
Aren't those theories made by men?
Men who think that
women are weak and useless
and have contempt for women?
Am I wrong?
But...
Stop. I'm in charge here.
Don't even think about
giving me such nonsense.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
You can start tomorrow.
Thank you.
No need to thank me.
I just kept my word.
For standing up for me earlier.
That felt really good.
I didn't stand up for you.
I just told him the facts.
Still...
By the way, can you handle it?
He seems difficult.
I'll try.
I didn't think it'd be easy.
It might be harder than you think.
If you insist, I won't stop you though.
I'll do it.
I'll make him say that I'm better than a guy.
He challenged my self-esteem.
If that's what you want.
I wish you good luck.
(Tongri Gimu Amun)
Don't.
I don't want to interrupt them.
Until we can make new style guns,
we need to import guns
and train our army with them.
If we have an army that can move right away,
we'll have the upper hand
when negotiating with foreign countries.
I totally agree with him.
What do you think?
He's absolutely right.
You're working hard.
Your Majesty!
By the way, who are you?
I'm Kim Hogyeon,
a researcher in the Administration Unit.
A researcher?
How come you're teaching your superiors?
He studied in Japan.
He has knowledge in various fields.
We've found a young talent.
Which clan are you from?
I'm a bastard from an unknown clan.
A bastard.
But you can still tell me your father's name.
How rude!
Answer His Majesty's question.
His Majesty,
he doesn't see his father anymore.
I think he feels awkward suddenly telling you
his father's name.
I'm so sorry, Your Majesty.
Please forgive me.
It's okay. Get up.
Your background doesn't matter here.
I need more young talents like you,
so don't be embarrassed.
I said get up.
Don't make me a tyrant.
Thank you, Your Majesty!
I heard His Majesty visited the new facility.
What did he ask?
What do you want to know?
What?
Are you curious about the new policies
or are you afraid that he asked me
who my father was?
How dare you?
Just answer my question.
He asked me who my father was.
Don't worry.
I didn't tell His Majesty that you're my father.
Is that why you wanted to see me?
Don't provoke the subjects in the palace
while talking about new style guns
and the army.
If you keep doing that,
it'll cause more trouble.
Why do you think it'll cause more trouble?
We're strengthening our army
to protect Joseon.
You idiot!
What do you know about politics?
If we strengthen our army, do you think
Qing and Japan will sit back and watch?
Listen to me carefully.
In politics, you need to know
what to do and what not to do.
Don't impair His Majesty's judgment.
Joseon, with its 500 years of history,
is not a small country that a greenhorn
like you can change.
You're working with Mr. Hanjo again?
I got caught while spying on his storehouse.
I said I was curious
and he said I could learn from the expert.
Good for you.
Did you hear about Mr. Song?
I did. A gunman did it.
What was a gunman doing there?
You know about it.
Who could it be?
The girl that the gunman took.
The gunman took a girl?
You didn't know?
I heard it was someone
who worked at your place.
At my place?
Yes.
You didn't know.
I didn't.
This is the first time I'm hearing of it.
I guess my father sent her.
He often does that.
By the way, why did he take her?
Lady Hyewon!
Come on in.
I have something to ask you.
Go ahead.
I heard that the gunman who broke into
Mr. Song's place took Yeonha with him.
I guess the gunman broke into our house
to take Yeonha as well.
I'm asking you if my father knew about it
and told you to prepare for it.
No.
I took the gun out instantly
to protect you and our guild.
Okay. You can leave now.
Hyewon said that?
I cooked up an excuse,
but I think she's suspicious about
you and the gunman.
Be extra careful from now on.
Hyewon shouldn't find out about this.
Yes, sir.
This is where we keep items,
and that is our muniment room,
where we keep our documents.
How many documents do you have
to have such a big muniment as that?
We keep all the records from our peddlers.
When they joined us.
Where they worked before.
Everything is written on it.
If your document disappears,
you can't prove your career as a peddler.
That's the most important place in this place.
Right.
After listening to your explanation,
I feel like the Gyeonggi Peddler's Guild
is more organized than I thought.
That's something we are proud of as well.
If you have the chance,
come to our general meeting.
Peddlers from all over the Gyeonggi area
will get together.
It must be a big event.
It's like a festival day for us.
Is something wrong?
You seem a little blue lately.
Nothing. Nothing's wrong.
You can tell me.
When my business partner looks worried,
I don't feel comfortable, either.
It's nothing.
It's just over a slave.
A slave?
The one we traded for the explosives expert.
I heard that
the gunman took her the other night.
After that, I don't feel good.
The gunman...
Why did he take her?
I don't know.
If I'd known something like this would happen,
I would've kept her at my place.
Don't worry about it.
Who cares what happens to a mere slave?
Don't say that.
Even a slave's life is worth protecting.
What did a little girl like her do?
Simply because she's a slave,
her life shouldn't have been
considered worthless.
I know what you're saying,
but why are you telling me these things?
Well...
I'm telling you about myself.
I was a slave like her.
I was starved and beaten.
That was my life.
I couldn't live like that anymore and I fled.
This is embarrassing.
I wanted to hide these things forever.
I shouldn't have told you any of that.
It's okay. Thank you for telling me.
Don't be ashamed of yourself.
Shame is an emotion
that wrongdoers should feel.
You didn't do anything wrong
and you shouldn't be ashamed of yourself.
Instead, you should be proud of yourself.
You overcame all those hardships,
and became a wonderful woman like this.
Mr. Hanjo.
Don't worry.
I'm sure she'd understand your position.
I have a feeling that she's safe somewhere.
Don't beat yourself up over this.
Shame is an emotion
that wrongdoers should feel.
You didn't do anything wrong
and you shouldn't be ashamed of yourself.
Instead, you should be proud of yourself.
You overcame all those hardships,
and became a wonderful woman like this.
Mr. Hanjo.
What are you still doing up?
You're back.
Are you still worrying
about that girl Yeonha?
No.
I know that you had no choice.
Thank you for understanding me.
Let's forget the past.
We don't have to remember
the things that we don't want to.
Right.
But I'm okay now.
Someone made me think that my past
was something that I could be proud of.
Someone?
Can I ask you who that someone was?
Mr. Hanjo.
He makes my heart moves at times.
What happened to the guy
who went to Anseong?
He went and checked,
but no grain dealer met Mr. Hanjo
on that night.
Hanjo, a Japanese businessman by day,
and Park Yungang, a gunman, by night,
thinks the can fool me.
Everything is clear now.
Why don't you wait for us
at the spot I told you?
I'll give you the signal.
What's the signal?
I'll take a fan.
When I unfold my fan,
and walk away from Yungang...
Take care of him immediately.
Yes, sir.
No, Boss.
He wants to take a walk with you?
He's definitely up to something.
He's trying to kill you.
I know.
What are you talking about?
You're going there knowing
that you're going to die?
Stop being silly.
I still have lots to do. I can't die.
Then, what are you going to do?
I'm going to let him trust me.
If I want to find out more about him,
this is my last chance.
Boss.
I think Joseon has good traditions.
I was bored of going back and forth
between the mine and my office,
but being outside like this refreshes me.
I'm glad you like it.
I should've done it earlier.
I'm sorry that I wasn't considerate enough.
Don't mention it.
We can do this more often from now on.
Of course. I'll try.
Let's have a drink.
Sure.
They're playing like little girls.
Mr. Hanjo.
Do you mind taking a walk with me?
There's a nice path for taking a stroll.
Is that right?
If you say so, let's go.
You told the expert to teach Suin?
Yes, she said she wanted to learn from him.
Right. That was very kind of you.
She's a smart one. She'll learn fast.
I know.
By the way, what happened to the gunman?
The guy who killed Mr. Song?
I don't know.
I heard that the case was under investigation.
I'm sure they'll catch him soon.
Why are you asking out of blue?
I heard some rumors myself.
What rumors?
More than one gunman appeared
at Mr. Song's place on that night.
What are you talking about?
Other than the one who took the slave,
there were more gunmen chasing him.
How did you know?
I heard it on the street.
Besides...
I don't know if I should say this...
But I heard a rumor that you were the one
who hired those gunmen.
I was?
That's interesting.
I have so many employees,
and whenever something happens,
they always point the finger at me.
This has happened a lot.
Is that right?
Yes.
Is it okay if I ask you something?
Where were you on that night?
What night? What are you talking about?
The night when Mr. Song died.
I told you that I went to Anseong.
Why do you keep asking me?
Stop lying to me.
No one from Anseong met you on that day.
Now, you're going behind my back?
Tell me.
Where did you go?
If it wasn't Anseong,
it must've been somewhere else.
I don't want to upset Ganemaru.
Where was it?
Why do I have to tell you
that kind of information?
The more I think about it,
you do look like that guy, Park Yungang.
Here he goes again.
Do you want me to say
that I'm that gunman or something?
I have my reasons for believing
that you're him.
I'll ask you for the last time.
Where were you?
If you ask me a rude question like that again,
I won't let it slide.
Okay. I won't.
Sir. Sir.
What's going on?
A gunman...
A gunman appeared in the muniment room.
What gunman?
Some peddlers were organizing the room...
Who are you?
and he barged in all of a sudden.
He wasn't carrying a matchlock.
It was an easily reloadable new style gun.
Okay. Go back.
I have a guest. We'll talk about this later.
You accused me of being a criminal earlier,
but now I'm your guest again.
I won't forget how you humiliated me today.
Mr. Hanjo. That's...
You've been asking about me behind my back.
And you suspected me of being the gunman.
If you can't trust me,
we can't do business together.
I'm ending all relationships between us.
That was close.
(Choi Wonsin, Gyeonggi Peddlers Guild Head)
I did it!
Who are you?
A gunman?
Mr. Sato.
Are you sure?
You're the gunman
who everybody's talking about?
Shh. Keep it down.
Oh my god!
You're so cool.
What?
Mr. Hanjo doesn't know about this?
He doesn't know that you're the gunman?
Sure.
You're the only one
who knows my real identity.
You have to keep it secret.
Sure.
My lips are sealed.
Your secret is safe with me.
Thank you.
As of today, we've cut all ties
with the Gyeonggi Peddlers Guild.
Collect all our investments
and the gunpowder that we gave them.
What's going on?
He treated me as criminal and humiliated me.
If I let this slide,
it'd be the same as humiliating Mr. Yamamoto.
Yes, sir.
He just barged in
and started going through all the documents.
Documents?
Yes.
What's missing?
Well...
He only took yours.
So?
Where did he go?
I don't know. He was shooting his gun.
What about his face?
I couldn't see it.
Why not?
You know how important this place is.
How could you let him go?
Why didn't you catch him?
Father.
What's going on?
Nothing.
Sir.
Someone form Hanjo's office came
and said they were ending all business
with us as of today.
They told us to return their money within 3 days,
and the gunpowder in our storehouse
by tomorrow.
I brought some pork, and some tea.
It's good for your throat.
Have some.
If you breathe in gunpowder, it's not good.
How is it?
I went to the butcher
early in the morning to get good meat.
I'm not that fussy.
I got it for my teacher.
Teacher?
Yes,
you're teaching me very important skills.
By the way, why does a lady like you
want to learn this skill?
I'm just curious.
Not only for working in a mine,
if you know how to handle gunpowder,
it might come in handy.
You're a very strange lady.
Have some of these, too.
If there's anything you want to eat,
let me know.
I'll bring it tomorrow.
Are you the explosives expert?
Yes, I am.
Take him.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
What's this?
What's going on?
Why are you taking him?
The gunman who killed
Minister of Justice used gunpowder.
What?
The Minister of Justice?
Check the books and see if the gunpowder
which came in and out matches.
Yes, sir!
Was the girl that the gunman took
sent from your place?
Yes, her name is Yeonha.
We sent her to Mr. Song's a few days ago.
Do you know her family or...
Hyewon.
Suin.
Yeonha? What are you talking about?
Was she really Yeonha?
The slave who the gunman took
was Yeonha?
Why didn't you tell me?
You said you didn't know.
When I asked you, you said you didn't know.
Let's go inside. I'll tell you everything.
I'll explain what happened.
Wait.
I really don't know what's going on.
Suin.
Later. Tell me later.
Gunpowder that makes lots of smoke?
Can you do that?
Where are you going to use it?
I really need it.
I have to use it for something important.
Is Mr. Hanjo...
What are you doing here?
Well...
Mr. Hanjo. I need to see him.
He's not here. He's out.
Where did he go? When is he coming back?
He went to see Mr. Choi Wonsin.
He should be back soon.
Can I wait inside?
What's wrong with her?
Have some tea.
Is this...
Yes, it'll show you which way to go.
Wherever you are,
this will help you find your way.
Was it really you?
Yungang.
You need to keep a secret.
Hello, Mr. Hanjo.
Hello.
Lady Suin is here.
She's been here for a while.
Okay.
Hello?
What is it?
What's wrong?
Did something happen to you?
What are you doing?
Who are you?
We're from the Investigative Bureau.
It's her. Take her away.
Yes, sir!
What's going on?
We heard that she stole gunpowder.
We have to question her about the gunman.
We have to take her. Let's go.
Yes, sir.
Stop!
What are you doing? Take her away.
Yes, sir!
Let me go!
Suin. Suin.
Suin.
(Gunman in Joseon)
What did you make with the gunpowder,
and who did you give it to?
Your father?
He has nothing to do with it.
Don't try to involve him.
I'm going to stop you.
I'm going to stop this,
no matter what it takes.
Do as I say and take what I give you.
That's your job.
Your job as a hunting dog.
The era where money is power will come.
I'll kneel in front of you
thousands of times if I have to.
I'm Hasegawa Hanjo
and I'm here to prove that she's not guilty.
