[Episode 7]
Sire!
Let's head on in. The Minister is waiting.
Yes.
What kind of prince tries to kill his own brother?
You're not even human.
You are worse than animals.
You worthless bastard.
- Everyone...??? - You jerk!
Stop. This is enough!
Minister, this man...
From what I heard...
you failed the exam by a small margin, despite solving the king's question.
But, I looked into it and
your talents were being put to waste.
I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Kim Do Chi.
What is your name?
It is Kim Do Chi.
You had a face that is naturally repugnant to me.
Somehow you managed to get here.
Since the mutual conflicts have met, it's fated that one of us will die.
Starting today, I want you to take him under your wings.
Minister, the physiognomy department has more than enough.
More than enough?
Why do you insist on managing the department by yourself?
- That's... - Keep him near and use him.
I will do my best to make sure you don't look bad to your peers.
Please teach me well.
I'm recommending you on behalf on Gwiin Kim.
This means your errors will become mine and Gwiin Kim's errors.
We will not accept any mistakes.
Yes, Minister. You have my word.
Minister, this person here...
His face reading skill is exceptional, as well as his ambition and wisdom.
You will be able to utilize him in many ways.
Whether he will be useful or harmful, only time will tell.
Get on going now.
What are you doing?
Go on and give the Minister a face reading.
There is no need to read your face. You have a look of success.
You were destined to hold the highest power and authority.
Well, anyone who knows my position would know.
You don't need to be a face reader to know.
However, soon you will suffer...
a serious illness.
There is darkness in your skin tone.
This indicates an unexpected illness.
Hey, you!
How can you speak this way to the Minister?
Once that time comes and you come to believe my words...
you will surely be able to use me wisely.
I do not believe in face reading.
I also don't need a face reader's ploys.
It's a small and cozy house.
Let's go on in.
I'll get the rice started and fix everything here.
- Take it slow. - Sire. I'm alright.
Just leave it. I will do it.
If I have no roof, the night sky will be my roof.
From now on, I will live as though this city is my front yard.
Yes, Sire.
I think this place is much better than the stuffy palace.
Young Shin.
I must meet Ga Hee.
Figure out how I can meet her.
Alright. I will figure out a way.
Father has deposed me, but he will not leave it at that.
Without a doubt, he will look for Daedong Society.
I must tell Ga Hee before it's too late.
Your mother says your wound has healed.
I was very relieved to hear that.
Yes, Father.
I apologize for causing you to worry.
Shinsung.
On the hunting grounds...
did you see a person in a bamboo hat?
Excuse me?
They say there was a person in a bamboo hat there.
Did you see anything?
I did not see anyone like that.
That's odd. Many people saw this person.
How could you have missed it?
Shinsung... think carefully.
From your father's perspective, I think you saw this person too.
You were shot by an arrow that day, so your memory might be off.
But, if you think about it.
You will remember it.
Now that you mention it, I might have seen someone like that.
Anyone there?
Shinsung will recall what he saw. Listen carefully.
Yes, Sire.
Your father will catch the ones who dared to try and kill the king's son.
You must remember every last detail.
Do you understand?
Let's go. Get out of the way! Move!
What's this about?
Who is that?
[This is a traitor that tried to kill the prince.]
[Any information will receive a large reward.]
Search everywhere thoroughly.
Arrest anyone with a symbol of five dots on their body.
What are you people doing?
Hey you!
Yes, are you speaking to me?
Come over here.
Yes.
Take off his clothes too!
Oh no! What am I going to do?
You broke all the containers!
You jerk. I lost all my precious manure because of you.
What the hell!
I just got crap all over myself because of you.
What the hell! Do you think crap is all the same?
Do you know what kind of household this manure came from?
Here, take a look.
Have you ever seen manure of this texture? Have you or have you not?
Look at this guy. Hey you...
If you like noblemen's crap so much...
why don't you eat it?
Man, this guy!
You want really get into with me, today?
Get over here!
These idiots!
Get the hell out of here!
- Yes, Sir. - Thank you, Sir.
You! We're not done yet!
Damn right! We're not done.
Let's go.
- You little... - You jerk.
A group of traitors who attempted to kill the prince?
What is this nonsense?
What kind of a man makes such a fuss?
Are you scared, by chance? You're afraid?
You didn't pee your pants, did you?
Did you crap your pants?
Gosh, seriously!
I'm not scared.
Do not wobble.
It's the government's plot to catch us.
The child must have been made during the last meeting.
Wait for light in the darkness, by hiding the light and biding time.
For now, I think it is best to hide.
You're right.
From now on, tell all the members
to avoid entering the city.
Yes.
Now that I'm in the Physiognomy Department
the government will try to find someone that can lure Daedong Society members.
Ga Hee, you should change your disguise.
If we keep going on like this...
Someone will die because of me like Sam Gil did.
Only I can fix this.
Sire. Someone has been following us.
Are you sure you still want to go to the Justice Department?
They are hunting down everyone with a symbol of five dots on their body.
A wanted poster with Ga Hee's face is on every wall.
I need to find out what is going on.
Young Shin. Take care of the eyes following us.
Yes, Sire.
- I'm here to see the judge. - Pardon?
Do you think anyone can get face time with the judge?
I really need to meet with him. I am...
Okay, I was wrong. I'll never go to gambling houses again.
I took our house deed to the gambling house.
So, she came here to report me.
Please let me go.
I will not let go.
We finally met again. How can I let go?
Have a good day.
This is a matter of Daedong Society's survival.
Please come with me.
I'm sure you're just following orders. Sorry about this.
Please stay still for a while.
I thought it was a matter of Daedong Society's survival.
Why aren't you saying anything?
After that day...
I was wondering how to see you again.
Thank goodness we happened to meet like this.
I'm not the same Kim Ga Hee from three years ago.
The last three years...
What do you think motivated me to live?
My resentment towards you.
- Ga Hee... - I alone planned your assassination.
Why did you have to kill my colleague?
It wasn't me...
I did not kill your colleague.
I do not believe you.
Did you really...
plot an assassination against me?
Yes. I had planned to kill you.
Then...
you can kill me with this.
If my death is what you truly want
then stab me with knife right now.
If this will release your resentment
I will gladly die.
Hurry and stab me now. Why are you hesitating?
Kill me.
You...
don't think I can do it?
That's right.
If you can, then kill me. Do what you want.
Kill me. If that's what you want
then hurry up and kill me. Hurry!
Move!
Your anger runs so deep, yet why can't you kill me?
My death is not what you wanted.
You probably did not plan to assassinate me.
Did someone order you to kill me?
Did you by chance get in the middle of the war amongst potential heirs?
Don't make assumptions.
Now the king is closely watching Daedong Society's movements.
I'm saying, your arrest won't make any difference.
So, go hide.
You must hide in a place where nobody can find you.
Wait.
Just for a bit, Ga Hee.
Our destiny ended a long ago.
There is no longer any reason...
for us to meet again.
Where have you been?
I was looking for you everywhere.
Even though you were dressed as a man, your face is plastered all over Doseong.
It doesn't matter if you disguise yourself, it's still dangerous for you.
I'm sure Kim Gong Ryang is on high alert as well.
Why are you like this?
Do Chi, thank you...
for not asking any questions
all this time.
Three years ago...
you know that astronomical chart that belonged to my father?
I had given it to Prince Gwanghae.
Prince Gwanghae and I
we were young and we had promised each other to be married.
Everything that happened...
It's all my foolish heart's fault.
It's all my fault that Daedong Society fell apart.
It's all in the past.
You should forget everything.
The astronomical chart...
and everything that happened three years ago.
Forget it all.
It's already...
forgotten.
What?
Gwanghae noticed that the palace army was watching him?
And he was able to lose them?
You are saying you lost Gwanghae and you have no idea what he's been up to?
I apologize, Your Majesty.
I will take over the task and start watching Gwanghae.
Gwanghae is the only way for us to capture Daedong Society.
Keep a close watch.
I will do as you say.
Sire.
There was a letter for you on the porch.
Somebody must have left it there discreetly.
Today at the 8th hour... I'm invited to Jang Soo Tae's inn.
Apparently, there will be an event I need to see.
Jang Soo Tae's inn?
Who sent this invite?
I don't see a sender's name.
[Jang Soo Tae's Inn.]
- One more nyang, please. - Welcome.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Do I look like a regular to you?
Welcome, Sire.
Hey. Jung Yeo Rip. Why haven't you been coming by lately?
You look radiant today...
Might be your lucky day.
Don't jinx it.
Whenever I hear that, I end up losing money.
Oh dear. Well, come in. Come in.
Long time no see.
Did you miss me during that time?
If you are not here to gamble...
the exit is over there.
How dare he be so impolite.
It seems, though, that all the movers and shakers from the palace are here.
That man over there...
isn't that the palace manager Kim Byul Jak?
- Do you think you will win this round? - Shush.
[Four + One = Five End]
[Seven + Two = Nine End]
You won this round too.
- Some tip for me? - Here, here.
Here you go.
The darkness at his nose tip represents loss of wealth.
He should be losing.
Why is he winning all the rounds?
[Eight = One = Nine End]
[Six + Two = Eight End]
When a person gets nervous...
a subtle itch appears at their nose.
Therefore, when one lies...
they touch their nose.
You should wager 100 nyang.
What?
- What are you doing here? - How have you been?
You should take a chance on me. 100 nyang. You won't regret it.
You should trust me.
[Eight + One = Nine End > Six + Two = Eight End]
Oh no.
I just lost everything...
I had earned.
- I'm leaving now! - Sire, how can you leave like that?
Let go of me.
Sir!
Who in the world are you with your unwarranted advice?
Everything's ruined because of you.
Sire.
That... that person!
Why is he like that?
I helped him from drowning and I'm not asking for anything.
I helped him win back his losses.
Did I do something wrong to that person?
You did do something wrong.
And you are?
He was losing on purpose so that he could buy a high position in government.
You, Sire, stopped it from happening.
On the surface, it looks like just simple gambling.
It's actually a marketplace for high powered positions.
These people who buy positions with money...
use their positions to cause poor citizens grief with high interest loans.
Is this corruption the event that you wanted me to see?
Yes, that's right.
When you go back to the palace, I hope you don't forget today.
I wanted you to keep it in your heart.
You think a deposed prince will go back?
Yes, I know it will happen.
What, exactly, is your goal?
How do you know these and secret dealings?
How did you know where I lived? You left a note there.
I worked at a gisaeng bar
and sold herbal medicines. I learned a lot doing both.
But, I am still young and a naïve girl.
It turns out I cannot do much in this world.
I just wanted to convey the things I have seen and learned to you, Prince.
If I'm right. I think you...
can change the world. That's what I believe.
They were bleeding the poor citizens dry.
You won again, Sire.
Young Shin, we need to get a letter to teacher.
Yes, Sire. I will go right away.
Go home carefully.
Yes. Thanks for the drinks.
Come again!
Can you buy me a drink?
Sire!
Many eyes are watching.
This is what I look like.
It must be boring now that I'm not around.
Do you think I have nothing to do all day?
Lately, the Royal Finance Department has been up in arms. It's very noisy.
The Royal Finance Department? Why's that?
Queen Insoon's seal has been stolen.
What?
What can I do for you?
Are you curious about palace news?
I'd like to stop Father from chasing the Daedong Society,
Who can stop the King from what he wishes to do?
Once we found out the truth about Shinsung's arrow injury....
it isn't impossible.
If so, Father will know the truth.
He will stop chasing Daedong Society.
That's true.
Do you have someone in mind?
I'm suspicious of Gwiin Kim.
Wait, did you just say...
Queen Insoon's seal has disappeared?
If it's the Royal Finance Department, isn't that where Gwiin Kim brother is?
I've brought you some physiognomy books.
Don't get lazy with your studies.
I'll be on my way.
[Queen's seal]
[Kim Gong Ryang]
[Jang Soo Tae, Kim Gong Ryang, bribery, account book]
Sire, what is all this?
I think I've got dirt on Kim Gong Ryang.
- Pardon? - But, there's one problem.
What's that?
Jang Soo Tae. Account books.
The deep wrinkle in forehead suggests he is detailed about money.
One eye is big and one eye is small. That means he's good at fooling people.
He's cunning so he is able to get out of situations quickly.
He will, definitely, have a secret account book.
So, what now?
Kim Gong Ryang has definitely stolen the seal.
And he has given it to Jang Soo Tae.
I want to show Kim Gong Ryang Jang Soo Tae's books and make him talk.
Then, Father will have to know Daedong Society's involvement
was all related to the fight for the throne.
How will you get the account book?
That...
Please accept our prayers.
Please accept us.
What is this?
What is this nonsense? Stop!
Sire.
The spirits are angered.
Imhae, what are you doing?
No matter what spirits you conjure up...
Shinsung will never be the heir.
What did you say?
Unless you want to get kicked out of the palace, heed my words carefully.
Sire.
Imhae!
What is all this?
I came to make sure you're not dying of hunger.
Poor you. Had you listened to me, you could have avoided all this.
- Gambling house? - Yes, we plan to use it to...
get Queen Insoon's seal back, which was lost along with Jang Soo Tae's account books.
If I can get my hands on the two items, I can get Kim Gong Ryang arrested.
How?
First, we need to get Kim Gong Ryang to bring out Queen Insoon's seal on his own.
Jang Soo Tae probably wrote down every transaction he had with Kim Gong Ryang.
He probably recorded every single detail.
Once I have the books, I will send a message to Kim Gong Ryang.
I'll tell him that I have the books with all the illegal transactions.
And he is to bring Queen Insoon's seal to the gambling table.
Whoever wins keeps both of these items.
I am sure Kim Gong Ryang will be at the gambling table.
And then get Kim Gong Ryang arrested?
I really do want to see his face as fear creeps in...
but I see two flaws in your plan.
First, you do not have Jang Soo Tae's account books in your hands.
Secondly, there's no guarantee that you'll win the bet against him.
Aren't gambles unpredictable?
First, I believe you'll take care of Jang Soo Tae's account books.
You're perfectly suited to take care of people like Jang Soo Tae.
- What? - And as for the second flaw...
since I'm the world's best card shark, I'm confident that I can win.
What? You are a card shark?
Since the day I started serving you, I dreamt of this day.
Soon, Shinsung will be appointed as the crown prince.
Congratulations! You've been waiting for this day for so long.
Gong Ryang, if there are any illegal transactions...
or anything that can raise suspicions, we need to remove them now.
Shinsung will soon be the crown prince. There's no room for mistakes.
- Do you understand - Yes, don't worry.
- Stop. Light up that area over there. - Yes, sir.
With your exceptional archery skills, I need you to kill someone for me.
Who?
One of king's men.
Sire, do you really have to go?
Don't you think I need to confirm if he has Queen Insoon's seal or not?
After a few jabs, I'll read his face.
Most likely, I can get an answer.
- Go and take care of the guard. - Yes, sir.
- What is this? - This is your prize money.
Thanks to you, Gwanghae became a commoner.
Thanks to you, Prince Shinsung will soon become the crown prince.
Getting my brother into the Physiognomy Department was enough.
There are wanted posters with my face everywhere.
The longer I stay here, the more harmful for you...
I will be leaving now.
I need you to do me a favor.
Someone filed a complaint regarding your brother's employment.
This is my response to that person.
You should deliver it.
What's wrong?
Do you want your brother to get fired so soon?
I hope this will be the last.
There's a horse in the backyard.
- Hey! - Sorry! I'll bring it back soon!
Prince Gwanghae?
What brings you here?
I thought you may be feeling uneasy so I decided to drop by.
Although my brother is being framed as the enemy...
you won't be in harm's way. Please do not worry.
- I'm not worried. - Yes. Good to hear.
My brother risked his life to follow your orders.
I ask that you trust him to the end.
Of course. We are all in the same boat.
I have to trust you.
I wonder if he's suspecting anything.
He keeps looking away...
There is definitely nervousness...
She's not here. Let's go.
Are you sure she said she was going to Kim Gong Ryang's house?
Yes, she left after receiving a message from that house.
Kim Gong Ryang. He lied to me
What? What is going on?
Did something bad happen to Ga Hee?
Ga Hee! Ga Hee! Ga Hee!
Ga Hee!
Young Shin! Help me!
Open the door!
What? Gwanghae brought home the man from the wanted poster?
Yes.
I will go myself.
The one you were trying to kill...
what happened to him?
We failed because his ally showed up.
- Ally? - Yes, he had help.
- They got away. - I will spare your life, but...
you need to go to Kim Byul Jak now and tell him...
that he is dead.
Are you awake?
You cannot move yet. Just stay here for now.
It will be harder to go when it's bright out.
Sire, we might have misheard.
Who would it be at this hour?
I'm not sure.
Who is it?
Your... Your Majesty!
Where's Gwanghae?
He is inside.
Sire, His Majesty the King is here.
Father?
Who are you?
Father.
Who is that man?
I do not know him.
He blocked my path to enter your room. How could you not know?
I truly do not know.
Sire, there have been people harassing us every night.
He must be one of them.
What?
- Harassing a prince? - Yes, Sire.
He has been suffering greatly.
What have you done that you are receiving such treatment?
I apologize. I should not give you things to worry about.
[Book of Physiognomy]
Since when were you interested in physiognomy?
Since I left the palace, I took it up as a hobby.
So, you took it up as a hobby.
They are horrible.
I'm talking about that group of traitors you helped.
You went so far as getting deposed, do they not even come to you?
Is there no news from them?
Am I wrong?
I've already decided to punish them by kicking them out of the nation's borders.
You would not have become deposed.
Do they now pretend not to know you?
Or, have you been meeting them without my knowledge?
Father, that's not...
That man back there, he was not here to kill me.
He did not have the intention of killing.
In that case...
he was here to protect someone hiding in this room.
It was a ploy to waste time.
