Is..this me?
Yes.
But, I'm ugly...
Why do you keep saying that?
You are doing it on purpose to hear me saying you are beautiful, right?
I always knew you would come.
Even though Park Gyu said I wouldn't be able to see you again.
- Beo Jin, promise me we'll stay together forever. - Okay.
Despite my harsh words, you followed him by all means.
Do you feel sorry for me even a little bit for the harsh words you said to me before?
I'm okay... So, don't feel too bad about it.
You may get out now.
What are you doing?
I told you to leave.
Didn't you hear him telling me to help you?
I know it's hard to do by yourself. So, just stay still.
It's not that bad.
What is?
I thought I would never see you again.
I mean seeing you again like this is not bad.
Beo Jin!
Come on out.
Okay.
I'm all done now... So, get some rest.
Can we trust the potter?
He knows who I am, and he protected us even in front of the swords. He is trustworthy.
Did you even follow him with a plan to get him out of here?
Tamna was a closed place, so, it was difficult. But here, it will be easy to find a way to get out.
I lost my consciousness after being attacked by bandits.
I don't know how the westerner disappeared in the meantime nor where and who he disappeared with...
Beo Jin. She'll be leaving with him, is that okay for you?
You've made a good choice. It'd be better for you if you send her far away.
I'm not letting her go for myself but for her own sake.
Leave as soon as possible.
I like William's golden hair better.
I like being a black haired person like you though.
No!
Here, we all have black hair, William is like William when he has golden hair.
Beo Jin, even if I change my hair color, I'll be still William, so, don't get disappointed too much.
I know that, too.
I was just a little sad, so I just said it.
We're leaving tomorrow, so get yourself ready in advance.
Tomorrow?
You're leaving?
- To where? - For now, to Nagasaki.
Nagasaki?
If you don't want to go, you don't have to go.
Yan, don't say that to her.
Beo Jin is, of course, coming with us.
But...
Park Gyu...
Park Gyu is badly hurt. Can the three of us just leave?
Don't worry, I already talked it over with him.
Seorin merchant group, Hanyang
I heard you sent a letter to Yong Gol Dae (who invaded Chosun in 1636, 14th year of King Injo)
The Crown Prince, So Hyun understands the value of business.
And he is also quite interested in Western Culture.
He will be helpful for our business for sure.
Do you know that Park Gyu, the son of Minister of Culture and Education, is a close friend of the Crown Prince?
Did you say that they are close friends?
They studied together.
When the Crown Prince comes to Hanyang, the first person he will look for is
him, Park Gyu.
Park Gyu is
is the only trustworthy person for the Crown Prince.
Is Ha Myeong out there?
Thank you..for letting me and Beo Jin go.
This is the method of salute of nobles in England.
Good bye.
I hope you also return to Hanyang safely.
Please take good care of her.
She only lived in Tamna Island.
She is going solely relying on you.
Please take good care of her.
Park Gyu.
Don't worry.
Like Beo Jin protected me in Tamna,
I will protect her forever.
Where is Park Gyu?
Exile.
Come out for a moment.
I should say good bye to you before I leave.
Exile, come out please.
No matter what, I have to say good bye before leaving here!
Let's go now. It looks like he cannot get up as he feels unwell.
Beo Jin...
Let's go now.
Exile...
I'm leaving!
Take good care of yourself and
I hope you become a great person even in the future.
You must not go to places like Tamna where you will go through hardships, got it?
I'm leaving!!
Exile!
I am really leaving!!!
I'm leaving...
Good bye.....
We can wait here until people come from the merchant group.
Since we have many things to at the market, William, wait here quietly while we are gone.
Even if you hear something from outside, you must not come out.
You come with me.
I will be waiting here.
See you soon.
William made me happy for the first time in my life.
As long as where William is going is not Tamna, it doesn't matter to me.
Farewell is
naturally impossible to get used to it no matter how many times you go through it.
Even brushing past a person is the karma...
It wasn't just brushing.
How can it be not sad when separating from someone who is attached with you?
Although I'm by myself now...
Potter!
Can you do me a favor?
Favor?
Will you keep showing tjat unhappy look?
Well, I am sorry.
I feel weird as I'm about to leave.
I thought you left Tamna anticipating it.
Welcome.
Please look around.
What about this?
Yan!
Have you seen him at the market?
There are so many out-of-towners walking by.
How can I remember all of them?
Think about it carefully.
This man is injured and must be accompanied by a strange looking person.
Strange looking person?
Oh, the potter and a man in hat came to buy dye.
Did you say dye ?
The guy with a hat picked up this black dye and
asked me if this dye can be applied to hair.
People from the merchant group will be here soon. Let's go back.
Exile!
If you go now, you can't leave with William!
Do you still want to go?
Where's Beo Jin?
She went back to Park Gyu.
Although I warned her that she would not be able to leave with you if she went to Park Gyu,
she left without looking back.
That doesn't make sense. Beo Jin wouldn't do that.
She chose Park Gyu over you.
I need to check that with my own eyes.
This is the last chance. This is the last chance you can leave here!
The girl and here... After some time, you'll forget about them, William.
No, I can't.
Yan.
I'm sorry.
I said, you are almost there.
Just over there.
Anyway, you guys.
Since you're having a chance to save the royal secret inspector in danger,
promotion of one rank must be guaranteed, huh?
Okay, let's go. Okay!
Exile!
Where are you, Exile?
Exile!
Beo Jin!
Run away!
You have to run away!
Did anything happen to the westerner?
Those people who followed you last time...
They have followed you to here, too.
Quickly, let's run away!
I said, you must run away now!
You must not kill him.
William.
Beo Jin...
You really went back to Park Gyu...
William, it's not what you think. What happened is...
After leaving me alone, you went to Park Gyu...
Oh, a westerner!
Exile...
Do something.
Our time ends here.
If Williams goes to Hanyang, he will die...
Hanyang
Young Master! Aigoo, Young Master!
I'm *** sam! Young Master!
First, please go back home.
Madam is waiting for you expectantly.
I must go to the palace.
You.
You go home with her.
Oh that commoner girl!
I will explain everything to my mother later, so, don't say anything about her!
Do you understand?
Hey!
What are you doing there? Come over here quickly.
I'm sorry.
I will be fine.
What the heck are you doing there? Come over here quickly.
Come in!
What are you doing there? Come here quickly!
My lady! *** Sam has returned!
My lady!
Is Gyu home?
My precious son, Gyu, finally!
Young Master went to the palace directly.
Is that so?
My lady...
Who..are you?
Show me your face.
You have done a lot of hard work.
I heard about your work in Jeju. You did a great job!
Inscrutable are the king's favors.
Are you the westerner who came with him from Jeju?
Is Park Yeon here?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Ask him thoroughly about why he came to Chosun.
(Dutch) Here..why.. Sleep..with you?
No, no, that's not what I mean.
(Dutch) Why..you..here..standing?
So..um.. Actually, I have lived here already for 13 years.
I totally forgot how to speak Dutch.
How about letting him answer directly?
Letting the westerner?
I have taught him Korean on our way to Hanyang.
He can speak Korean quite well, now.
He must be quite smart.
Generally, those people have something else in their minds.
Do you know how to make weapons and ships that sail across the ocean?
What was your occupation before?
Mama didn't let me to do business, so...
I read books and did some writing...
So, you are a wimp.
Look! Let the westerner stay in Park Yeon's place and watch him for a while.
However, I would not allow him to have contact with people and put him under some restrictions too see if he is good or bad.
If he acts suspiciously like a spy or make any trouble to the people, he will be punished strictly according to Chosun's law.
What are you doing? Follow me!
I should go with Park Gyu...
I must ask where Beo Jin is.
Let's go, huh? Go!
She looks humble now because she faced a bandit on the way to here.
So, what is your family like?
Oh..she is...
She is a daughter of a chief diver in Sanbang village where Young Master stayed.
She came here with Young master for some reason.
Chief diver?
Chief diver!
Don't you know what a chief diver is?
It is the best in Jeju!
Oh... all right. Chief diver...
You had hard time coming over here.
*** Yeon.
Yes, madam.
Please escort the lady to the guest house and help her with her clothes.
Yes, madam.
Follow me, mistress.
Although she has traveled long away, she must be a daughter of a noble family if her family is a chief diver.
How come she wears those shabby clothes?
Mistress, please come over here.
Wow, so pretty.
Then, have a good rest!
Oh..excuse me...
Where is "dotong "(washroom in Jeju dialect)?
What is "dotong"?
Hmmmm, dotong! Don't you know?
There are some containers ("tong" in Korean) in the kitchen.
Ah, over there...
If you go over there, there's the big guest house, and if you turn this way, there is the main house.
If you turn this way, then there are places for servants.
It's right next to it.
Then, take a good rest.
In Hanyang, guests are like masters.
She doesn't even let me do anything.
Now, I understand why the exile couldn't get used to my place.
However, this is too stuffy.
Hey, you girls go outside to play.
Seat comfortably.
You'll have to live here for a while.
Then, I can't go anywhere?
You are lucky that you didn't get killed!
When I came here first, I had so hard time and even bloody stool.( "Pittong", in Korean, figuratively you have had so much hard time)
"Pittong"? (blood stool?)
That's right, pittong, so if you go around by yourself, you will be in huge trouble!
Do you understand me?
When can I meet Beo Jin?
If you give the king a good impression, you could see her earlier. Otherwise, you may not be able to see her forever!
Let's have a meal!!
Yes, here it comes!
Enjoy your meal.
Thanks!
Why are you looking at him for so long? Go out and do your job!
Ah, yes.
What is this smell?
This is made of beann. It's called Doen Jang(soybean paste).
Gyu!
My Gyu!
My handsome Gyu, you've become so lean.
You must have had a very hard time...
Mother, I'm fine.
No, don't say that.
Your soft hands became
all dry and chipped like my heart.
I am fine, so you can stop.
By the way,
who is the lady *** Sam brought in?
That's...
She is the daughter of the family I stayed with in Jeju. She had some reasons to come to Hanyang, so I invited her to stay at our place.
That's all, right?
I can trust your words, right?
Come on!
Stop bothering your son who travelled a long distance.
Please let him in, dear.
I researched this pattern as you asked me to do.
There was no one who knew about the pattern in this capital city.
What on earth is this?
It must be related to the people
I arrsed in Jeju.
De facto power?
There must be some people working with them in Hanyang.
I don't know what they helped those people for, yet.
But, I think that there must be someone powerful group behind it.
Is that why you applied to work as a prosecutor?
I must catch them.
Right...
So...
Have you broaden your view of the world?
I am Park Gyu, father.
What a silly boy.
Who are you ?
Are you the owner of this dyeing business?
Yeah, so?
My master wants to do business with you.
What are you going to do this mere garment that is being sold at the market?
I'm not so interested.
Your life is worse than a servant's.
Do you remember me?
Could you forget the face of the master you strangled to death that easily?
How dare you!
Die, die!
Mistress!
You...
You're really....
You don't look different at all, no matter what you wear.
An ugly girl doesn't change at all even if she wears different clothes.
I didn't wear these clothes because I wanted to, either.
The women here made me wear this forcefully!
By the way...
What happened to William?
You keep talking about William whenver you see me, whether it's in Jeju or Hanyang.
Don't worry. He is safe.
That's good to hear.
Then, when can I see him?
Don't think about meeting him for a while.
He is not allowed to leave his residence for a while.
It is good enough that he is alive.
Then,
I'll be able to see him again someday.
If you are worried about William that much...
Why did you come back to me back then?
Young Master!
Oh, you were here. Oh my!
I have made your bed.
Please go to bed.
Please!
Now, you did your hair up into a topknot, you look almost like a Chosun person.
What's this?
Are these the only munchies for a drink?
We are making a Kimchi pancake now. Please wait a moment.
Hurry up!
Yes.
Okay, try this. This is killing me!
Killing? Why killing?
I don't mean killing a person.
Just try this!
If you want to survive in Chosun,
you have to be liked by the king and the officials.
Then, you can meet Beo Jin, whoever it is, and then get married and have children...
And live a happy life.
If I can do well whatever it is, will I get to meet Beo Jin?
Park Gyu applied for a position of a prosecutor.
He is not as smart as I thought.
He is wasting his time on a case which is already closed.
That is good, on the contrary.
For the case that has no evidence or clue,
he will definitely have a hard time investigating.
Today is the day the Crown Prince So Hyun comes back to Chosun.
That's right.
Since I have sat eating all day long,
I must have indigestion.
Oh...
A thief?
It is a thief! Thief! Thief!
Oh my, my.
Catch the thief!!! Thief!! Aigoo, aigoo!
Where is the thief?
Over there, go search for it!
Exile!
Stay way. A thief must have broken into the house.
What should I do?
Dotong! (traditional washroom of Jeju)
Dotong?
Master.
It seems that the thief has run away.
Are you sure there was a thief?
By all means, Master.
Stop making a fuss and search thoroughly.
Yes.
Young master.
How dare you hold on to my Gyu!
My lady, my lady!
They must be going even to the washroom together.
What happened last night?
Actually...
Even in Jeju, did you look for my Gyu every night?
Not every night, but
sometimes...
No way...
My Gyu couldn't possibly...
These days I have had an upset stomach.
No way, this can't be...
My Gyu wouldn't...
No matter what...
Oh no!
Listen to me!
Today, my son So Hyun who has been a hostage in Qing
came to see me as he was worried for his father.
Isn't this a filial love for his father?
Inscrutable are the king's favors, Your Majesty.
Everyone, give drinks to my son, So Hyun.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Officials outside, give him a drink too.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Have a drink!
Here you go.
Crown Prince So Hyun: He has been held as a hostage in Qing after Chosun surrendered. He came into contact with various Western cultures and arbitrated between Chosun and Qing for a long time
Hey you, Park Gyu!!
How have you been?
Seeing you again like this,
I'm so glad.
When I was in Qing,
I missed so much the time when I studied with you.
You have had a hard time, Your Highness.
After meeting you here again,
I feel like there is a person who truly welcomes me in Chosun.
Get a drink from me.
Here.
Get a drink.
It seems you have gained your alcoholic capacity in Qing.
Here.
Drink it.
The position of king,
was it that tempting to you?
You must have come here to see when your father will die.
Are you going to contribute this country to Qing, in exchange for the support of the Emperor?
Never again!
I will never drop my knees to the Emperor of Qing!
Drink it!
His personality is getting more and more wild.
I feel so worried every day.
That's what I mean.
Lord!
Lord!
Well,
then...
Oh, okay.
Please make time for this evening.
You ***!
Until when are you going to miss opportunities while looking for a pretext?
You!!
Lord!
Although I was reluctant at first, too,
when I thought about it carefully...
If we open the port to foreign trade, the people will be well off.
How about taking it into serious consideration?
Minister!
You are really hopeless!
Open the port?
You are manipulated by a tongue of a trivial merchant.
Open the door of this country?!!
Stop telling me NONSENSE!
Lord! Lord!
I was just worried about the people of Chosun...
I was too thoughtless.
How insolent you are!
How dare you try to deceive me!
It is certain that you are only trying to make your own profits while mentioning about the people.
You ***, you should be ready to close your business as of today!
Lord! Lord!
Oh, geez!
Oh, I'm going crazy.
Department of investigation and prosecution
Do you happen to be...?
The prosecutor, Park Gyu, who is just appointed as of today?
Yes, that's me.
I am Ahn Gang Jig who will be assisting and supporting you from today on.
Just like the rumors, I could recognize you at the first sight, as you look so handsome and tall as I heard.
By the way,
why is it so busy here from this morning?
Last night,
the prime minister was murdered.
No way, I saw him just yesterday...
Now that you smile like that, you do look like Beo Jin.
I..will leave here right away as soon as I find William.
Beo Jin...
