The Joseon Shooter
I'm sorry.
I lied to you... about everything.
I missed you.
I missed you so much, I couldn't stand it.
Young Master...
I couldn't... even dream about forgetting you.
Please don't go. I won't let you go.
Please stay by my side.
Just by my side.
[Episode 13] Congratulations.
[Episode 13] Sure.
You're pretty good.
What could the likes of me possibly do to influence the government?
It's all because of the dignity and reputation you've built over time.
You know what to say...
You are better than how you look.
Please take me in.
I'll do anything for you.
- Mr. Hanjo? - Yes, he wants to see you tonight.
- He'd like to see you at the store. - Yes, I got it.
Bye now.
What's the occasion from the store?
It's nothing. Then...
It will be over soon.
I'll come back soon.
I'll put everything back in its place. And come back with my honor.
Not as Hanjo, but as Park Yoon Kang...
I'll stand before you.
Please be careful.
Promise me... that you'll be safe.
I promise.
I'll definitely come back safely.
It's a gun!
Drop the gun.
Now!
Your trick was clumsy.
A real gunman would know just by its sound
whether it's a rifle or a pistol.
You were always rushing like that.
You were swayed by emotions and ran right into it.
That's your limit.
Your limit as a gunman.
This is the gun that killed your father.
I will... send you away, too.
Go.
Go and apologize...
to the man who'd still have his eyes wide open!
I didn't want to do it either.
I didn't want to kill your father.
But I had no choice but to do what I was ordered to do.
I've lived all my life as their slave.
I've lived as a hunting dog that had to do everything it was ordered to do.
For my daughter...
For my daughter... who got beaten even after she was raped.
Shut up!
Don't think about making excuses.
It all happened because of your ambition and dirty greed!
You did everything for yourself!
Don't try to cover it up by selling your daughter's name.
You killed my father and sold my sister as a slave.
And I... lived every day in pain worse than hell.
Waiting only for this moment...
The moment that I'd take your life with my own hands!
You will die here.
This... is the end for you.
Mr. Hanjo!
What are you doing? Please stop now!
- Move aside. - Is this why you called me out?
To kill my father while I wasn't around?
Move aside!
If you don't, I'll shoot you too.
Please do.
If you're going to kill my father, kill me first.
He did it all because of me.
So please kill me first.
I was able to continue my life because of his gun.
So I'm also a sinner to you, Young Master Yoon Kang.
- Hye Won! - Shoot me.
I'll pay for my sin.
It's the sin that needs to be paid with both of our lives.
So... shoot us both.
Shoot now!
Fine.
If that's your wish...
I'll send you away both.
No!
She didn't do anything wrong!
Shoot me. Just me.
Please!
It's not over yet.
Go to the police and confess all your crimes.
Clear my family's name...
then you will die.
Bro!
Please stop. It's okay now.
He's the gunman who killed the Head of the Palace Guard Park Jin Han.
He ordered Son Taek Soo and framed my father.
Everything was instigated by Kim Jwa Young.
Go. Go and tell them everything.
If you miss anything...
you'll die in my hands again.
I understand.
It's been a long time.
So you were alive.
I'll take it from here.
Don't get involved.
Your father's name will be cleared tomorrow.
Then you'll be able to return as Park Yoon Kang, too.
Thank you.
What's going on?
Why did you bring him?
He's the gunman who killed Head of the Palace Guard Park Jin Han three years ago.
I'll interrogate him myself.
I'm sorry.
My family went through all kinds of hardship because of me.
Father!
No! No!
Father...
it's over now.
Please rest in peace now.
Young Master.
Miss.
You are safe.
What do you mean? You don't know?
Like I said, it has nothing to do with me.
I'm not a gunman, and I don't know who Kim Jwa Young is.
Stop the nonsense. Are you trying to deny it now?
How will you explain this gun that was found in your house?
I only had it for my self-protection.
I've never shot a person.
- You bastard! - That's enough...
Release me right now.
You saw it with your eyes, too.
That gunman tied me up and threatened me with his gun.
What could I say in that situation?
The one you should catch is that gunman, not me.
Park Yoon Kang who committed high treason!
It's him!
- What are you doing? Please leave. - Move!
We're from the Court of Justice.
We'll take the criminal.
This case is under the jurisdiction of the police.
The Court of Justice will take it from here.
- Take him out! - Yes, sir!
We transferred him to the Court of Justice for now.
The Court of Justice is under our control so it should be safer.
I should've gotten rid of him a long time ago.
Get him out first.
If anything goes wrong...
it's over for all of us here.
Yes, my lord.
By the way, who on earth took Choi Won Shin out and handed him over to the police?
His name is Park Yoon Kang.
He's the son of Park Jin Han that we got rid of.
What?
Yes, he was alive.
He was pretending to be a Japanese merchant named Hanjo.
Hanjo?
- You mean, last time... - Yes.
When we caught Jung Hwe Ryung and his daughter
he's the one who got involved.
Lock him up right now!
Get rid of him first!
Yes, my lord.
I really can't believe it.
Hye Won's father was the gunman...
It's giving me chills.
To say hello to me with a smile after doing such a thing...
To sit with me and drink tea with me...
Did Hye Won know about everything, too?
I'm not sure.
Anyway, she must know now.
I couldn't kill him because of her.
I couldn't possibly kill him while his daughter was watching.
I felt like I was becoming the same kind as he was.
You did well.
You had to hand him over to the police to get your father's name cleared, too.
I've come here often.
I've sat here by myself and cried so much.
But...
I'm not alone anymore.
I'm with you.
Miss...
Please unload all the painful memories.
Think about happy days ahead with Yeon Ha and me.
Really? I can live with you now?
Yes. Everything should be cleared by now.
I can't believe it.
It's not a dream, is it?
If it's a dream, I really don't want to wake up.
I came to apologize.
I apologize... for what my father did.
It's not for you to apologize.
And this is not something to be resolved with an apology, either.
Even if you apologize ten thousand times, my dead father won't come back alive.
Please leave now.
We have no reason to be sitting across from each other now.
Our Yeon Ha can finally live with her brother!
Thank you for your help.
No need to thank me. I didn't do much.
You're Mr. Hanjo's sister?
Mr. Hanjo is from Joseon?
Mr. Hanjo and you look alike.
We don't look alike.
What's going on?
We're arresting Park Yoon Kang, the criminal of high treason
for murdering the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Infrastructure.
High treason? Why am I still a criminal?
Choi Won Shin, the head of the merchant group was taken to the police.
He confessed everything there!
Shut up!
- Take him away! - Yes, sir!
Let go! Let go!
Brother!
Yeon Ha...
Don't worry. Something must've gone wrong.
Don't worry. I'll be back soon.
Young Master...
Let's go!
What on earth did you do?
It's only following the natural flow.
Everything needs to be completed when a chance is given.
If you miss the moment
all you have left is regret.
You...
Choi Won Shin!
Take him away!
I won't just take this. I'll make you pay for your crimes!
I will!
Let go! Let go!
Let's go.
He's the son of Park Jin Han!
The criminal of high treason who escaped beheading
came back as a gunman.
Then he murdered Minister of Justice and Minister of Infrastructure in a cruel manner!
There is no evidence that he killed the ministers.
Prime Minister!
Your Majesty, the important criminal is Choi Won Shin.
According to a police official
he's the gunman who murdered Park Jin Han
and murdered progressive scholars including Oh Kyung three years ago.
That's the ludicrous statement without any evidence, Your Majesty!
His gun was found!
Do you have evidence that people were shot by that gun?
That's enough!
Whether there is any crime or not
it will be found out during the interrogation by the Court of Justice.
Of course, Your Majesty.
But what the Court of Justice has shown so far was
only cruel torture and threats.
So from this moment
I'll have Min Young Ik of the executive department
take the Minister of Court of Justice, too.
Your Majesty!
Reveal the truth of the case in a fair manner.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I, Min Young Ik, will do my best.
What on earth happened?
I grabbed another chance.
'Grab a chance'?
You were supposed to confess everything.
You said you'd ask for forgiveness from Young Master Yoon Kang.
I've never committed any crime.
So what forgiveness would I ask for?
- Father... - So you should keep quiet.
I'll take care of everything.
Why are you doing this?
Please just tell them everything.
The ones who made you this way... Just reveal everything about them.
Just leave now.
If you don't say anything, I will.
I'll say everything about you and everyone who has your back.
If you say anything, I will die.
Do you have to strangle my neck with your own hands in the end?
Father...
Stay quiet.
It's for the sake of both of us.
You won't be interrogated for the murders
of the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Infrastructure.
They don't have evidence, either.
They searched the store, but they couldn't find your gun.
So they'll hang on to the fact that I'm Park Yoon Kang.
Yes. So keep insisting that you're Japanese.
If I say that, they'll do everything.
They'll bring in Lady Soo In. Yeon Ha could be taken here, too.
Then what do you plan to do?
I'm going to reveal everything with pride.
I'll clear my father's name...
and prove Choi Won Shin's crimes, too.
Please arrest the interrogator who made Son Taek Soo lie.
He wouldn't confess so easily.
He's been promoted to the vice captain of the provincial army now.
I have a plan. Please.
Got it. I'll ask Lord Min.
And please find Jo.
- Jo? - Yes.
Son Taek Soo talked about him before he died.
Someone named Jo fabricated a letter by the Head of the Palace Guard in front of my eyes.
He's probably a professional counterfeit writer.
In my opinion, he was probably sent by Choi Won Shin, too.
Jo...
Then he was definitely...
Do you know him?
Yes. His name is Jo Dal Soo... He's pretty famous in that area.
I was suspicious of him, too.
Please get him.
I'll make him confess.
Okay, I got it.
I'll ask you first.
Are you Park Yoon Kang?
Yes. I am Park Yoon Kang.
I'm the son of late Park Jin Han, Head of the Palace Guard!
It is recorded that you were shot to death by the Court of Justice.
So how did you make it alive?
I didn't make it alive...
I wasn't able to die!
Because of the unjustified accusation on my father...
And I wasn't shot by the Court of Justice.
Choi Won Shin! I was shot by his gun!
He killed my father and even tried to kill me!
He's Kim Jwa Young's puppet!
He's the one who ordered Son Taek Soo and framed Park Jin Han!
He confessed everything to me last night.
Is this true?
No, it's not, sir.
He's telling you a lie.
I don't know who Son Taek Soo is or who Lord Kim Jwa Young is.
You're sickening to the end.
Then how will you explain the gun that was found in your house?
I have the gun only for self-protection.
I swear that I never became a gunman and harmed other people.
Will you die as Kim Jwa Young's hunting dog in the end?
I don't know him.
Don't bring up someone I don't even know and condemn me.
Then why did you call him 'lord'?
Are you that afraid?
Is your heart filled with fear of him?
Don't yammer away! I'm not the man you think I am!
Stop!
How dare you argue in front of me!
Merchant Choi, I heard your daughter saw everything last night.
Sir, she has nothing to do with this.
She saw that this man threatened me with a gun.
She's barely calmed down from the shock.
She's not in any condition to speak!
But she's a clear witness!
She probably saw what happened and heard what you said to each other.
Sir... please don't drag her into this case.
If I have to see my daughter suffer again...
I don't know what I'll blurt out.
Please use it for your enlightenment work.
Now the family of Min should lead Joseon.
What do you mean by that?
It sounds like a threat to me.
Forgive me, sir.
I didn't say it to you, sir.
I was afraid that I'd cuss at him in front of you, sir.
Then please call that lady to be a witness.
From what I know, she's not that weak.
She's someone who can more than handle this situation.
What are you saying now!
Besides, she's the only witness in this case.
So it's only natural that she should stand as a witness.
Fine. Bring his daughter tomorrow.
I'll have her as a witness to the investigation.
Yes, sir.
Sir! This is not right!
Shut up!
How dare you yell at me!
Don't you know who I am?
- Lock them up. - Yes, sir!
Sir...
Sir! Sir! Sir!
I'm asking you. Please tell the truth.
Please just tell the truth at the interrogation tomorrow.
Then... what about my father?
Tell me...
Are you telling me to kill my own father?
Is that what you're asking?
Go.
I don't want to face you anymore.
- Hye Won... - It's hard for me, too.
So please leave.
I'm sorry, Hye Won.
I know you're in pain, too.
But Young Master Yoon Kang saved your life.
He lost his father because of your father.
If you understand just a little bit of what he's going through...
please help.
Please tell the truth tomorrow.
Did Soo In know about it too?
That you're Yoon Kang?
I tried to hide it...
but she ended up finding out.
If you were going to hide it, you should've done a better job.
If I were you, that's what I'd have done.
If you could imagine the pain she must've gone through for three years
If you even thought once about how she got her smile back...
I won't make her suffer because of me anymore.
I'll help her forget the pain from the past.
As someone who is locked up...
as someone who can't even guarantee his own life?
I'll get out of this. It won't be over for me this way.
Yes, please do.
For Soo In, not for you.
[Hansung (currently Seoul) Office]
What is it?
We're from the Court of Justice. Please come with us.
What's that?
Who dared to order me to go there? Which one?
It's the order from Lord Min Young Ik, Minister of the Court of Justice.
This is my father's will.
Can you write it exactly in the same handwriting as this one?
Did you bring money?
Jo Dal Soo...
You're arrested for the crime of counterfeiting Park Jin Han's letter.
Both of them are arrested.
But... they don't even think about opening their mouths.
They'll end up talking soon.
Please go to Lord Min and give him my message.
First, we have to make them give up on everything.
Jo Dal Soo who counterfeited the letter confessed everything.
Even your role when you were an interrogator.
The interrogator confessed everything
about how you counterfeited the letter.
Next, throw him a bait.
If you say the truth, I won't ask about your crime.
Do you mean that?
Don't worry about any trouble in the future.
His Majesty will protect you.
Sir, I have hundreds of soldiers who follow my order.
So, who would I be afraid of?
In that case, it won't be hard for you.
If you can give a proper statement
His Majesty will recognize your contribution.
He promised you the captain position of the provincial army.
Vice Captain will deny it at first.
I'm not the kind to make a false statement over a high position!
Now, officials in Soo Ho Ge will pressure to release him.
Release Vice Chief right then.
Release him? What do you mean?
I haven't gotten any confession from him.
If you release him, Soo Ho Ge will definitely try to kill him.
Save him then.
You'll be able to turn him around and get his confession.
But... if we end up losing him, we'll be in big trouble.
I have a plan.
Forgive me. The order is out that I should keep you quiet.
- Follow him! - Yes, sir!
Don't lose him! We have to catch him!
Alright, you've worked hard.
- They were really... - Sir, they were trying to kill you.
Please reveal everything tomorrow. There is no more reason to protect them.
I got it.
I'll reveal everything during the interrogation.
A criminal of high treason is walking around everywhere in the Court of Justice.
Someone grand must be looking after you.
That must be the case for you.
You're doing all kinds of things even when you're locked up.
Trying to even kill the vice captain of the provincial army...
What's the reason you came to see me?
I came to give you the last chance.
Reveal everything with your mouth tomorrow.
What are you saying at this point?
Think about your daughter.
She'll be on your side after all.
When your crimes are revealed...
she'll be heavily punishment for a false statement.
I'm ready to win already.
So, if you really care about your daughter
get through it on your own.
They rescued the vice captain.
We ended up making a bad move.
The situation is taking a turn to our disadvantage.
If it gets worse, maybe...
Lord Kim Jwa Young will try to kill you.
Don't worry.
I'm getting you out for sure.
I am different from Lord Kim Jwa Young.
I will never abandon you.
- My lord! - I'll look for a way, too.
Please meet with Lord Min Young Ik.
I had created a tie.
He won't be able to look away from me.
What brought you here?
I felt like I should tell you something, so I've been waiting for you.
I have nothing to discuss with you.
If you have anything to say, please say it tomorrow during the interrogation.
All of the truth will be revealed soon.
The winner's words are the truth.
You'll learn that.
His Majesty has arrived!
The head of the gunmen who killed progressive scholars three years ago was
this man Choi Won Shin.
He also killed the Head of the Palace Guard Park Jin Han!
And the one who ordered the job was Kim Jwa Young.
Two nights ago, Choi Won Shin confessed to all of it!
Head of the merchant group Choi Won Shin!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Is this all true?
No, it's not.
I was just a merchant focused on business.
He's slandering me without any reason.
He came to me and threatened me with a gun that night.
Bring the witness!
Tell me.
What did you see two nights ago? What did you hear?
Is your father the gunman who killed Park Jin Han?
Did he confess his crime in front of you?
No, he didn't.
My father... is not a gunman.
He never said it that night, either.
He only begged for his life.
'For my only daughter'...
'I want to live longer'... that's all he said.
The one who pointed his gun and threatened was...
the man named Park Yoon Kang.
What do you mean? I threatened him?
Why did Park Yoon Kang do that?
I don't know.
He has never shown me his true intention.
He was always Hasegawa Hanjo to me.
So I couldn't figure out anything about Park Yoon Kang or what he was thinking.
Okay, enough.
You may excuse yourself.
I'm sorry.
Now Young Master Yoon Kang... has become someone neither of us can have.
Hye Won...
Hye Won!
Young Master...
Head of the Palace Guard Park Jin Han's crime was framed and fabricated.
Minister Jung Won Ho at the time took the lead and Son Taek Soo made a false accusation.
The letter that was submitted as evidence was fabricated, too!
Is this true?
Hurry up and say it!
Yes, it's true.
I came into the Court of Justice and fabricated the evidence.
I copied Lord Park Jin Han's handwriting
and created a letter that slandered Prince Heungseon.
Who gave you the job?
Go to the Court of Justice.
Go and create a letter.
The one right here...
It's Choi Won Shin.
Now, you tell me.
Is this true?
I'm asking you!
Is this all true?
No, it's not.
I have nothing to discuss with you.
If you have anything to say, please say it tomorrow during the interrogation.
Look...
Choi Won Shin...
If he's found out to be a gunman, then you, Min Young Ik
who received bribe from him...
what punishment would you get?
What do you mean by that?
The moment the vice captain tells the truth at the interrogation tomorrow
your weakness will be revealed, too.
Look, sir!
I'm not trying to make a difficult request.
Just give me a chance so that I can meet with Vice Captain personally.
What brought you here, sir?
I heard you plan to tell everything.
The promise that His Majesty will protect you...
you must believe the promise.
You fool!
Don't do anything stupid.
When the truth is revealed, you won't be able to avoid death either.
You're also an accomplice involved in the Park Jin Han case.
His Majesty won't try to protect someone like you, either.
I don't want to hear it!
You sent the soldiers and tried to kill me!
Sorry about that.
I apologize that I tried to kill you.
But think about it.
Even if you tell them everything and make it out alive from here...
do you think you'll be safe to the end?
What do you mean by that?
From the moment you leave the Court of Justice
you'll be our Soo Ho Ge's constant target.
But... if you say the proper things at the interrogation tomorrow
I'll guarantee your safety in the future.
How about it?
Will you trust His Majesty...
or trust Soo Ho Ge and me?
The palace guard Son Taek Soo brought the letter himself.
Minister Jung Won Ho and I only took care of the matter according to the law.
He just confessed that he fabricated the letter!
He's a con man.
Please don't be fooled by him.
- I've never even seen him! - Sir, why are you doing this?
I only wrote down what you told me to write.
Your Majesty, no one saw him coming into the Court of Justice!
Sir!
Your Majesty...
their statements are completely opposite.
We can't make any conclusion from this.
Tie them up now!
One of them is lying!
I'll start questioning!
I'm going to find out who's telling the truth!
Your Majesty! What do you mean, 'questioning'?
Did you forget what crime Park Jin Han committed?
He dared to slander Your Majesty's father!
It's already a closed case, but if you deny it now...
your true intention at the time will be denied, too.
I'm not denying it! It is to find out the truth!
I haven't found out anything yet, so I'm going to start the questioning!
No, Your Majesty!
Did you already forget the crime that sent me to exile?
It was the crime of forcing confession by torture.
But you're about to do it yourself...
Please stop the interrogation and render your verdict now.
No, Your Majesty! You can't stop now!
This is the last chance to clear Lord Park Jin Han's name.
If you'd question them a little more, they'll definitely tell the truth!
Please don't give up now!
How dare you!
How dare you raise your voice!
Your Majesty...
my father died while he was fighting for you, Your Majesty.
He fell down while he was being loyal to you.
Please don't abandon him.
Please reveal the truth!
Your Majesty!
Please don't destroy the order you established!
Please know that the order that's destroyed once cannot be established again.
Please stop the interrogation now, Your Majesty!
Please stop the interrogation, Your Majesty!
I understand.
I'll end the interrogation now.
There is no evidence to prove the crime...
Release Choi Won Shin since he's innocent.
Your Majesty!
And...
Park Yoon Kang, the criminal of high treason...
will be beheaded.
Your Majesty...
Your Majesty!

[Joseon Gunman]
What a fool.
Once you aim your gun, you shouldn't hesitate even for a second.
Choi Won Shin!
Please promise me one thing.
Even if I'm not around, please don't cry.
We have a big trouble. Middlemen started a fire in the warehouse.
What?
- No! - Park Yoon Kang!
Who are you? The owner here passed away...
How strange. He wouldn't die so easily.
