A message came from the police station,
Hungry Bird wants to see you.
Policeman!
Hey! Is anyone out here? Someone is dying! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
Hey, hang in there! It's me!
Hey, Hungry Bird!
Be careful...
-Fox. -Fox?
Th-that... Policeman...
Hey. Hey! Hungry Bird, hang in there! Hey!
Gae Ddong!
Orabeoni?
Gae Ddong! I'm here!
You waited a long time, didn't you?
Orabeoni...
Gae Ddong, let's live with me now, uh?
Orabeoni, Gae Ddong is here.
You!
Gae Ddong, come!
-Quick, come! -I don't want to!
Gae Ddong, here.
Gae Ddong, I won't ever abandon you and leave!
Stay right here and wait, you understand?
I won't ever abandon you and leave, Gae Ddong.
Stay right here and wait, you understand?
-Stay right here and wait, you understand? -I don't want to!
I don't want to! I don't want!
Hey get off! Won't you get off?
You don't even do your work and cause only troubles all the time!
You can't! Not Gae Ddong, you can't!
You're bonkers, this is getting too far, aren't you going to get to your senses?!
Dead, your sister is dead, dead! She's dead!
Orabeoni!
Orabeoni?
What is happening here?
Ah, aah Gae Ddong!
Lady, why are you here?
That is... I...
Miss! Why are you doing this to me?
This miss suddenly came and pushed me!
Calling this half-wit orabeoni or something.
Orabeoni?
Go far away, Gae Ddong!
I will come get you soon!
Run away, Gae Ddong!
Gae Ddong, are you okay?
- Let's catch them!
They can't have gone far! Search thoroughly!
Yes!
Find them! Go! Find them!
I'll go somewhere quick, stay here.
Orabeoni, don't go! Don't go orabeoni!
Mom also said that she'd come back and she didn't. Don't go!
In case... I can't come back,
go far away. As far as possible.
Don't go. Then how do I find you?
I will find you for sure!
You trust me, right?
There's one here! Catch him!
-This way! -Here, catch them!
Lady?
Yes?
Oh, pardon me.
He looks so much like the brother I lost when I was young, I got carried away.
I'm sorry.
Well... It's okay.
Your grief must really be considerable, Lady.
But, how did he become...
He was caught by the slave hunters while running away, and got flogged.
That's how he became half-witted.
Oh? But this half-wit said he lost a younger sister?
So that's what happened.
Lady, it seems this servant is weighs heavily on your mind.
Should I give him to you?
Pardon?
I should pay you back for the skirt from last time.
Gae Ddong...
That won't do.
This half-witted kid that is of absolutely no use,
how could I dare give him to you?
I will compensate you for the dress properly through Cheon Sim.
Goodbye, then.
No, I...
Lady...
You don't strike those who are lacking,
you reason with and teach them, Lady.
How on earth do you manage the household affairs?!
I'm sorry, Miss!
This is how you teach those who are lacking, Lady.
Do you understand?
Make that one do all the cleaning work for three days.
Don't give him food and don't let him sleep.
I will personally teach him his place.
-Take him away! -Yes.
Gae Ddong! I will come get you, for sure!
Don't cry.
You found him, didn't you?
He's alive!
That's good enough.
Episode 7 Second Chance.
Episode 7 Mint.
If he killed himself by hanging, there should be only one wound.
However there isn't one but two wounds.
Someone covered this up as a suicide.
We are closing the investigation.
What do you mean, closing?
You haven't conducted a proper inspection of the cadaver for the cause of death!
What inspection when it's a suicide? We got the order to take care of it quickly.
I'm saying it's not a suicide! It's a murder!
Look at that, there are two wounds, not one.
That's must be because he moved about.
Anyway, the investigation is closed, so you should go back too, Scholar.
How can you close the investigation without looking for the real offender!
After calling me urgently, what would be the reason for dying suddenly?
How would I know?
He must have felt guilty all of a sudden!
I'm extremely busy so stop with your nonsense and leave.
Wait.
Move!
The fox policeman...
Must we really do these things?
It's a slow season, we've got to do what we can to earn our keep.
Attracting customers.
You each get 100 sheets.
So what sort of meeting (with your future spouse) would you like?
An arranged meeting? Or a natural meeting?
Whatever you want, we can do it all.
Customers will come when the time is right.
Do we really have to do such things?
But who exactly knows that right time will come?
Don't be silly, hurry and get to work.
Isn't that the Prime Minister? Big Unni's father.
Is that true? The Little Madam will be commended as a Virtuous Woman?
Isn't that why Prime Minister came to visit his older brother's home himself?
If she becomes a Virtuous Woman, they will erect
a red gate of honour to signify their achievements of three virtues.
So of course, he must be anxious.
Little Madam, she has suffered a lot.
Her husband died only 10 months after their wedding,
and she took care of Big Madam for 18 years alone
and even raised her child, too.
She is finally receiving her blessings. What a good thing.
Yes, indeed. I have to go to the bathroom.
What is the "three virtues gate of honour," that everyone is so excited?
Three Months, you don't even know that?
Do you know what sort of family Big Unni's family is?
They received an award for filial duty, and again for loyalty to country.
If they receive another one for virtuous woman,
they will have received three awards.
That is called "sam-sae-jeong-moon." ("three virtues gate of honour")
It means the king is acknowledging them as one of the pillars of this nation.
So far, only two families have achieved all three virtues.
So if they do receive it, it is a great honour for sure.
To erect a useless gate,
the daughter-in-law of this family has to live alone for the rest of her life?
What kind of honour is that?
A woman is protecting her fidelity, how is that a useless thing?
Then is it right for her to remain alone for the rest of her life
for the sake of honour to her family?
What's with both of you today? Were you both slapped in the face somewhere?
So why call me to do such a lame thing?
Did you see that, Three Months? How he looked down on me?
Three Months?
Is it true
that you will submit my granddaughter as a candidate for the queen?
But the candidate must have both parents who are alive.
That is why this matter is more important than ever.
I am the Prime Minister,
and if our family receives the "three virtues gate of honour,"
who would dare to disqualify our family?
So we must not cause any sort of disturbance.
Do you understand?
What sort of disturbance would happen, in a quiet household like this?
You're doing well.
I heard that you were promoted.
Congratulations to you, Great Uncle.
Thank you.
They're peonies. They will be so pretty when put in a vase.
I will plant them.
Flowers are at their most beautiful
when they are planted and put their roots into the soil,
rather than put in a vase.
That is what Mother taught me.
Your mother must have such a deep heart.
You've had a tough time, taking care of my sister-in-law and Hwa Jeong.
-Was that guy taken care of? -Yes, Lord.
The police have ruled it a suicide and closed the case.
That will do.
This time, even the Vice Premier won't be able to do anything about it.
But...
Young Master witnessed that man's death.
What shall I do?
Why does that boy appear all the time, what is he chasing?
Leave him be. Witnesses and evidence have all disappeared.
So even he can't do anything about this.
So that man who stole the arrowhead is dead?
Yes, I was told that he hung himself in prison last night.
But the case was closed without a proper investigation.
Indeed, Prime Minister is quite skilled.
But something strange did happen.
Something strange?
Before that guy died, he asked to see the leader of Flower Crew.
Flower Crew...
Isn't that operated by Prime Minister's son,
the one who messed up the marriage that we'd planned?
So Hungry Bird asked for Prime Minister's son?
Yes, not only that, the one who called the police
to capture Hungry Bird was also him.
Why is the son getting himself involved in the affairs of his father?
I'm getting the feeling that something really interesting is about to happen.
Aigoo!
Draw a stick, it will be lucky no matter what hand you use.
Try picking one out, please. Young Lady?
Young Lady, how about picking a stick?
You lose. Try again.
Aigoo, among the 10 sticks, only one is a loser. Why did you pick the losing stick?
You are quite unlucky. Someone else, have a try.
Let me pick one more.
Sure, go for it.
You lose. Try again.
He was caught by the slave hunters while running away, and got flogged.
That's how he became half-witted.
I lost again.
Didn't you say that it will be lucky no matter what hand I used?
Why only me...?
Why do I lose out again?
Why am I always the loser in my life?
Can't I, just once...
Can't I pick a winning stick, isn't it about time?
No.
I finally met my orabeoni,
but he can't even recognize me.
Why me? Why us?
Why do we keep losing?
Fo...
Fox?
Fox... policeman...
Fox (Chinese) Fox (Hangul)
Fox policeman...
Directory of the police officers, as you requested.
But why did you need this?
He said "fox policeman," so I'm sure the police are involved somehow.
First, I will look for anyone with names related to "fox."
Gae Ddong.
What's with the sunglasses in the middle of the night?
-Were you surprised? -Not surprised,
it just looks unpleasant.
Why are you staring at me like that?
Who made you cry?
No one made me cry.
It just felt unfair, that's all.
I gave 5 poons for this, and they were all losers.
I think I used up all the luck that you gave me.
Then I must give you something else.
♫ Always be with you ♫
♫ with you ♫
♫ I won't let you go now ♫
♫ Always be with you ♫
Pick one.
♫ with you ♫
Try again. ♫ The one person within me, it's you. ♫
-Are you joking with me? -What does it say?
I can read some Korean.
It says, "You lost, try again."
Look at that, I'm so unlucky, I lost again.
Where does it say "You lost?"
Try again. ♫ Living for the sake of touching each other ♫
♫ Those many days those many times with you. ♫
Are you making fun of me?
I'm giving you another opportunity.
♫ At the end of the time which became complex despite our best efforts ♫
♫ we will meet each other ♫
♫ The time which we acknowledged ♫
If you feel like
your life is so unlucky, use this.
I will give that new opportunity to you.
♫ I'm going to tell you now ♫
♫ Always be love you, ♫
♫ Love you ♫
♫ I'm always going to be with you ♫
It's been a long time, Sister-in-law.
Yes, Young Master.
I saw you at the older nephew's funeral,
and this is the first time we're seeing each other.
Yes.
A lot has happened since then, so I've been distant.
Yes, I heard that you had left home and were working as a matchmaker.
I heard it through the grapevine, but.
I didn't know you continued doing this work.
I'm sure you didn't come only to confirm such a long, boring story.
What brings you here, alone, at such a late hour?
I would like you to help with a marriage.
Hwa Jeong's marriage, do you mean?
Please help me with my marriage.
Unni, are you crazy?
If your family receives the "three virtues gate of honour,"
your family will have such glory.
So you want us to break that with our own hands?
Wow, son of the Prime Minister,
the scale of your rebellion is amazing.
Let's vote with a show of hands.
You like things fair, don't you?
I am in favour of it.
To live alone for the rest of her life? Isn't that too cruel?
I am against it, no matter what.
Unni, leave your fight with your father at home, please.
What about you, Little Unni?
Oh, whatever. He always votes yes on everything.
-So in my opinion... -I am against it, too.
Little Unni, what's up with you?
Going against Big Unni?
Lacking fidelity and integrity, leave that for the courtesans.
A woman who abandons her home and her child, so she can live well?
I'm not interested in that.
So two are in favour, and two are against. What will you do now, Matchmaker Ma?
Flower Crew, Article 8, Mediation for Internal Disputes.
When matters cannot be settled by vote,
the representative has right of final determination.
Wait, hold on. So then,
you're counting three nonths as a full vote,
when she hasn't even been here for three months?
-That's unfair. -Gae Ddong is our family now.
I'm your family, too. And for much longer than Gae Ddong.
Judge properly who is your real family.
Matchmaker Go?
Matchmaker Go.
Good luck to you.
I, too, fear the trouble that powerful people can cause.
When did you ever think about that before?
Wasn't it your principle to live only for today?
Principles can always change.
It's been 18 years since I married into the Ma family.
Although I suffered the misfortune
of losing my husband after only ten months due to illness,
thanks to the favour of my benevolent elders,
I have even been considered for the honour of Virtuous Woman.
Although I am simple and lacking,
I want to meet a husband who I can laugh and cry with, and spend my life with.
So as I do not deserve such honour,
I hope that you will expel me from your household.
Haven't I requested you to not cause any disturbance?
From such a household
how can there be a queen for this nation?
I will find her.
I will release my servants to find her immediately.
Of course you must do that.
However, you must make sure
that she is found before the ministers find out about this.
Try again.
If you feel like your life is so unlucky, use this.
I will give that new opportunity to you.
Mr. Matchmaker, don't be so good to me.
If I only find my Soo,
I will take my orabeoni and leave.
You keep
making me not want to leave.
My heart...
Congratulation, Prime Minister.
Virtuous Woman. Double auspicious events for your family.
-Such high praise. -But, isn't it very strange?
Your promotion and the Virtuous Woman award,
they have all occurred after His Majesty has ascended the throne.
His Majesty is coming.
Your Majesty,
the wife of Ma Jeong Shin of HeungDeok village, Jeong Sook,
please award her with the three achievements
of loyalty, filial duty, and virtue. Please encourage her devotion.
Yes, Your Majesty.
The Ma family's loyalty and filial duty have already been acknowledged.
They are a family of loyal subjects.
Consider all this, and award
the "three virtues gate of honour" in Heungdeok village
and have them serve as role models for the nation.
Your Majesty. it hasn't been even 15 days since Prime Minister was promoted.
If such an honour is bestowed upon his family,
people will consider it special treatment.
Special treatment?
Please be careful what you say, Vice Premier.
When I was young,
I had a neighbour who became a widow.
The next day,
she committed suicide, saying she wanted to be with her husband.
The villagers were moved by her fidelity
and they wanted to build a gate honouring the virtuous woman.
But the next day, her father was arrested by the police.
The father was greedy for the reward of that gate
so he had killed his daughter with his own hands.
Your Majesty, comparing that incident with this...
I know. But,
awarding the gate of honour
is something we should be more careful about.
Queen Mother,
will you give me some more time to look into this?
Yes, Your Majesty.
He's taking those back?
His Majesty said he will re-examine those.
His Majesty is behaving more and more like a king, so you must be so relieved.
Don't you agree, Prime Minister?
I apologize.
He resembles the orabeoni I lost when I was young, so I got carried away.
It's strange, the more I think about it.
If you're so curious, why not ask her yourself?
Who are you talking about?
You know, that scholar at the courtesan house who smiles so wide.
No. Would I ever go back to a place like that?
Please wait for him inside.
That's not how you play that.
This one is quite sensitive.
Relax your hands and lightly...
Isn't that so beautiful... just like you?
Leisurely playing such a strange instrument in a courtesan house?
Aren't you ashamed of yourself as a man?
And are you proud of yourself for investigating the king?
I only wanted to know about the choice I was offered.
Then what about this choice?
It's certainly the worst choice.
It's not worth looking into.
What a relief.
I was about to become more fond of you.
Three Months,
please ask that guy
what's wrong with the colour of the silk we got from the fabric shop.
Mr. Matchmaker, Matchmaker Go says...
Gae Ddong, tell him that I only got the latest ones.
Who cares about that? The colours need to go together.
He has no sense at all. Tell him.
I really can't do this anymore. You two work it out.
Why not talk louder? They say they can't hear.
Matchmakers, your mouths must ache. How about something to drink?
That boy...
Is Yeong Soo rebelling these days?
Understand how he feels, too.
Gae Ddong joined us suddenly, so he must feel like you were stolen from him.
You are so good at looking right through the feelings of others,
why are your senses dull when it comes to people near you?
Even I can figure it out.
The flying stone dislodges the stone that was there.
That's exactly my situation.
It's the rolling stone.
The previous one, the scent was too strong, you said.
Because it was difficult to get, I ordered it ahead at the Mapo dock.
I don't need it. You two get along so well, why don't you two just do it all?
We may get along, but how could I get along better with her than I do with you?
Do you really think that?
Yeong Soo,
I just wanted to give her another opportunity, too.
Just like with you.
So you don't have to worry.
Nothing has changed.
Who said anything?
With these scraps of paper, how can I decipher His Majesty's heart?
Is this really just trying to decipher His Majesty's heart?
Take that.
Didn't you say your father's medical expenses are significant?
I will do better to decipher His Majesty's heart.
You must find her as soon as possible.
What if the Virtuous Woman award is cancelled
and Kang Mong Goo's daughter becomes the queen?
Think about how hard it was to get rid of the crown prince...
I don't know. Mr. Kim and his son ran away,
and that girl also disappeared suddenly.
That girl, what is her name?
It was a very common name.
Gae Ddong, yes it was Gae Ddong.
I didn't know there were so many vassals.
I memorize and memorize, but all the faces look the same.
You shouldn't just memorize, try to find something unique about each one.
But why do you stay with me?
The goal of all the women who come to the palace
is to spend the night with the king.
I told you I could not do that.
But why do you stay by my side?
Are you the only one who can observe fidelity and integrity?
My home is poor, so I did come into the palace as if I was sold off.
But I also had a man whom I had promised to marry.
On July 7th, we promised to meet at Kwangtong Bridge.
That was the last time.
That man must also be waiting for you.
He probably got married.
I should let him go now.
Please eat this before it gets cold. It's squash porridge.
Are you alright, Your Majesty?
-Gae Ddong. -You're here?
-You're hungry, aren't you? -Yes.
Ta-da. I brought this after working at Lord Kim's wedding.
I wrapped it well so it doesn't get cold. I wonder if it's still hot.
It's cold, you should have gone inside. Why bother with this?
I'm not cold at all.
Ta-da, doesn't it look good?
-Yes, it's hot. -Really?
Oh, it's cold.
No, it's hot. Very hot.
Your Majesty, are you alright?
I can't let her go.
It's still so hot,
I still think of her, like this...
How can I let her go?
Your Majesty.
Did you get an answer from the scholar at Wol-Hyang-Gwan?
Would I ever go to a place like that?
Sure, of course, you would never do that.
That Young Lady, she keeps bothering me.
What about her? She seems like a soft-hearted lady.
If someone bothers you once, it's coincidence.
But twice, it's suspicion, they say.
I better look into this bothersome person.
There is no policeman with the nickname of "fox."
Then do you have a list of names of those who were on guard duty that day?
I can't give you information about the police without the chief's permission.
Perhaps the paper got blown by the wind, and we happened to get a quick look,
isn't that right, Honey?
Oh, I shouldn't...
Month of Shin-Mi, Day of Eum-Myo, 9:30 - 10:30 p.m.
There was no one assigned that day.
That cannot be true, there was definitely a policeman there.
There was an incident in Heungdeok Village that day,
so all the policemen were called there.
Please don't tell anyone that I told you.
You did well, Honey.
Instead of Fox Policeman, he was a Ghost Policeman.
That's why he wouldn't be written in the records.
Work is more fun when it's more complicated.
Oh, have you seen this?
Who is that?
Is that... Gae Ddong?
It doesn't resemble her perfectly, but I think so.
But why...?
Someone in Hanyang is secretly looking for Gae Ddong.
When I went to Gyeongju, I did spread some false rumours, hoping to divert them,
but it's only a matter of time before she is found.
Just who?
Find her.
So we should begin to look into this.
The good news is that the picture of her is not well-drawn,
so they've never actually seen her before.
The bad news is, we have no idea
why they are looking for her and what they will do with her.
Until we find out who they are,
Gae Ddong needs to pretend to be a noble lady for a bit longer.
I think that will be safer.
Please find out more about these people as soon as you can.
Do you really intend to opt out of Lady Im's marriage?
It's not fun, and I'm busy, too.
Please forget already.
How long will you be dragged around by your past?
Am I the only one dragged around by the past?
You and me, why are we both like this?
Mother, where are you going?
I have to go.
When will you return?
I won't return, ever.
We will get caught, so please hurry.
Mother!
Mother...
The sun is shining so brightly.
For afternoon drinks, it's got to be Wol-Hyang-Gwan.
Unni, Vice Premier is here.
Is he here to get revenge for his niece's wedding that time?
It must be very important, seeing how you came here yourself.
Have you heard that someone was killed at the jails in the police station?
The Vice Premier himself comes all this way because someone died in the jail.
Just who was killed by that arrowhead that so many people are moving, like this?
Who knows?
Why don't you find out? One must know who died,
in order to find out who did the killing.
I want to entrust the investigation of this case to you.
I refuse.
Why?
You have been looking directly at me without wavering, since a while ago.
That is your reason for refusal?
You have no anxiety or curiosity about who the criminal is.
That means you already know who the criminal is.
You have a strong belief, but you have no evidence, so you are trying to use me.
Excuse me.
Hold on.
Here it is. It's the one that Young Miss liked last time.
But you seem very happy today.
I'm so happy I could die.
They've finally decided to sell that half-wit to the slave market.
I'm so refreshed, so refreshed.
At a place like that, they say he will be beaten or starved to death.
But it's not my business, is it?
I'll be going now.
Sure, bye.
It's a trap, a trap.
If you go there, you will be caught and sold off.
No, no.
But what if my orabeoni really gets sold off?
They've finally decided to sell that half-wit to the slave market.
At a place like that, they say he will be beaten or starved to death.
Whom are you looking for?
Are you looking for him?
It would have been good if you took him when I offered to give him to you.
Isn't that right, you lowly slave wench?
What are you saying? I don't understand.
Shamelessly
playing a noble lady, when you are just a slave? Did you think I wouldn't know?
Young Lady, why are you doing this?
I felt bad for a slave who had lost his sister, and was being abused by his owner.
Is that wrong?
I was going to hold off on reporting you to the police.
Please do it, then. Why can't you?
Young Miss, I think you might have made a mistake this time.
Please apologize.
Then please show me proof.
Proof?
If you were born a daughter of a nobleman, and raised as a noble lady,
then the proper poise and attitude would be saturated in your body.
I know of a gathering for all who are rightfully called noble ladies.
If everyone there acknowledges you
I will apologize for having suspected you.
Why must I do that?
I will give that slave to you.
You said you felt bad for that slave who was abused by his owner.
Do you think I actually believe you?
I will make your disgraceful lie known to everyone
and make sure you and your brother are both sold off.
You will regret this.
Let's see about that.
The gathering will be 15 days from now, at 11 AM - 1 PM at my home.
That is not yours.
So don't be careless.
Everything is mine, Young Lady.
What are you doing, won't you take him away?
Orabeoni, just wait a little longer.
This time Gae Ddong will make sure to come get you.
Your Majesty.
What is it?
I let him go, but you should not give up on her.
I will distract Eunuch Jang for a while, so you should leave for a bit.
Rock-Head, what will I do with you?
What are you doing out so late, not even working?
Before the sun sets, make sure to return.
Another opportunity.
Did you mean it, when you said you would give it to me?
Do you already suspect otherwise?
I want to use it now.
Try again.
Please give it me, another opportunity.
I want to become a noble lady.
Mr. Matchmaker, can you make me a noble lady?
Until we find out who they are, Gae Ddong should pretend to be a noble lady.
That will be safer.
Why?
There is someone I really want to meet.
Who?
That...
Flower Crew: Joseon Marriage Agency Preview.
As we promised, let's get married again.
Your Majesty, will you insist on walking that thorny road?
My Soo, did he leave?
My Soo? She runs right over to him, and says, "my Soo?"
Isn't that pretty? Since it was born,
it was so elegant and precious.
She keeps forgetting about her fiance who has gone far away.
Isn't that awful?
Hyeon, find out who that girl is.
If you keep thinking about an accident, isn't that a warning?
Rock-Head, I can't live because of you.
