The Forbidden Marriage (Golden Spirit: Joseon Marriage Prohibition / Geumhonryeong: Joseon Honin Geumjiryeong / 금혼령, 조선 혼인 금지령)

(and is not associated with actual people,)

Look at this.

Look at this!

Right?

- What is that? - What?

What is this?

- Hey! - Run!

Everyone, calm down. We are from the Department of Justice.

- You are safe. - Please come out.

Come out.

- Come out this way. - Come out.

- It is okay! - Come out.

This way.

We are here to help.

Come out.

It is okay.

- Come out. - My goodness.

Was there anyone who got kidnapped and brought here today?

Today?

Oh, there was a strange woman.

She was dragged here like us,

but she yelled at them and tried to make a deal with the amount she was sold for.

How dare you try to trade me?

If you are going to sell me for cheap, just kill me.

That is not even enough to cover my funeral cost.

- Hey! - Take that.

Why are you dividing up the money you got for selling me?

Why are you so talkative?

Just give me half.

What about a quarter?

I am sure that is So Rang.

It sounds like it.

There was a woman...

who was holding onto a pouch and crying in the corner too.

She was crying so much...

that the other woman kept comforting her and telling her she would be fine.

It is okay. Hae Young, it will be okay.

Darn it.

- Hae Young. - Lady Hae Young.

The woman that was crying was taken away first.

I am not sure about the strange woman.

I understand.

First, take them back to the government office safely.

Yes, sir. Come with us.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I picked this up on the way.

You liked things like this.

You said the round stone looked like it would be kind.

Sir,

- take a look that this. - What is that?

It is the stone I gave Hae Young.

I am certain she was leaving us a sign.

Lady Hae Young.

Goodness.

My gosh.

The moonlight is particularly beautiful tonight.

I hope my wife is just as pretty.

I guarantee it this time.

I am certain you will like her.

I am saying this for your sake.

Is it not about time we stopped seeing each other?

Of course.

You can be excited today.

What do you think? Do you like her?

She is cute.

Gosh, this much?

I will get going now.

Miss, nice to meet you.

My name is Um Gye Woon.

Oh, I like bobbed hair.

It is the least you could do for your husband.

And fortunately, it suits you.

There are several more preferences of mine.

I will tell you about those with time.

We will take this way.

Then we will take the other side.

All right.

Let us go.

Is anyone home?

What brings you here late at night?

We are from the Department of Justice. May we look around your house?

We are looking for a lady who was kidnapped.

Goodness, what a horrible incident.

Look around as much as you would like.

Over there.

Lady Hae Young.

She is here.

- Hae Young. - Lady Hae Young.

- Hae Young! - Lady Hae Young!

Hae Young.

Hae Young?

Hae Young!

- Hae Young. - Lady Hae Young.

- Wake up. Hae Young. - Lady Hae Young.

Hae Young.

I do not like the things I paid for...

touched by other people.

Take your hands away at once.

You jerk!

Who are you?

Are you hurt anywhere?

No.

You saved my life.

How on earth is she alive?

What will you do about this wench?

She must be gotten rid of completely.

Should I set this place on fire?

We might get caught red-handed if we make a move ourselves.

You know, do you not?

That I do not leave even a single trace behind.

If we do not kill her today, she might cause a bigger problem later on.

Why not look at the bigger picture?

We could use this child to shake up King Yi Heon.

Say that we hang her to death before the eyes of His Majesty.

Who knows? Because of the shock,

the King might choose to descend from the throne.

But only will I feel relieved if I see her dead right here and now.

Why do we not kill her right now...

and throw her body inside the King's bedroom?

So His Majesty lifts his bedding only to find this child dead?

Great idea.

If that can make the King into a mess.

Wait here. I will have Na Sang Ju kill her.

There is one more I must ask you to do after this.

Please kidnap several more ladies.

Have I not been doing that until now?

But the ladies this time are far from ordinary.

They are daughters of wealthy families.

So you are nipping the buds before the queen selection.

Your Majesty. You should take a look at this.

Open it.

"Your Majesty?"

Does that mean the man who saved me was the King?

It seems there was more than one bride who was abducted.

But they are yet to be found.

Investigate the crimes committed by this person thoroughly.

- Understood. - Understood.

Is it not strange?

Even though groups of kidnappers are running wild...

and harassing women,

the Police Bureau did not arrest any of them.

- Hold on a minute. - Shut it.

I did nothing wrong.

It was him. The kidnapper who had sold me off.

Where is your home ground?

The soldiers are on their way right now.

How did they know of this place?

Listen, Sang Ju.

Tonight, you must take her life no matter what...

and leave her body in the Crown Princess' Palace. Understood?

Understood. But first, you should leave.

Are you sure this is the place?

Then I have no idea. I swear, I am telling you the truth.

Where did they go?

Who are you?

Would you know if we told you?

Yes, we might.

We have taught the kidnappers a thing or two.

You need our permission to go across this mountain.

That is all you need to know for now.

However, we cannot grant you permission.

What should we do?

What is going on? Did they capture me?

A big fight has occurred in Mount Shinheung.

One group is suspected to be the kidnappers,

but we do not know who the other one is.

They must be bandits.

I bet the bandits took the kidnapped women.

- What? - They know the mountains very well.

Those scary scoundrels can even kill a tiger with their bare hands.

I told the Chief Eunuch that I would be back before sunrise,

but I do not think I can.

- Let him know. - Yes, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, let us look for So Rang.

We do not know what could happen after the night is over.

Let us go to Mount Shinheung.

You have to stay alive.

Do not get hurt.

From now on, I will not lose anyone close to me.

Please.

What? You fools let them take her?

I will go back to the mountain with more men.

Even if you bring her to me dead,

I do not care.

Bring her to me...

- at all costs. - Yes, my lord.

You will split into three groups and search the mountain.

If you find the bandits first, use the smoke signal...

to let the others know at once.

- Begin your search. - Yes, sir!

- Goodness! - Gosh, she scared me.

Hey, you deal with her.

Goodness.

- Gosh. - Darn, she scared me.

What is going on here?

What is this? Am I dead again?

Are you all right, my lady?

What? Who is this man?

My goodness.

The day broke. Why is he not coming yet?
