Knight Flower (밤에 피는 꽃)

(All people and backdrops are unrelated to history,)

Officer Park.

I apologize for visiting so late.

We are closed for the day. Do you need something in particular?

Well...

The man...

The lady, was she here?

You mean the person who left Kkot Nim here?

I have something to say.

She is not in.

Then you can pass on the message.

My office will surely take care of it,

so tell her not to get involved.

Especially regarding Kang Pil Jik...

Officer Park.

She is already there.

What?

- I won! - Oh, no.

Shoot.

I told you this is the Capital Defense's job.

How did you find me here?

That is your question?

Why would you come here alone?

- Are you all right? - Wake up.

Wake up.

Are you all right?

Wake up.

What is going on? Why are they all on the ground?

We should look inside.

You brats.

Who untied you?

(Episode 5: A Song of Joseon Men and Women)

My lady!

Who could this man be?

I will explain later.

- Let us first manage the children. - Right.

Here. Watch your step.

Where are we going?

Are we going home?

Watch your step.

Go on.

Be careful.

Kids, you must stay quiet.

- All right. - All right.

Where are you taking the children?

Darn it.

Whether it is our merchandise or the rats,

find them immediately.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Darn it.

I asked what you intend to do with the children.

They will be taken to someplace safe.

You cannot send them away...

when they are witnesses to a crime.

- The must be taken in and... - No.

I located them, so they are mine to take away.

How can you be this reckless?

Does it not occur to you that I could arrest you this instant?

If we were a day late,

they would have been sold away and lost forever.

It is all the more reason to investigate thoroughly.

For me, closing the case means getting the children to safety.

Bringing Kang Pil Jik to justice in the eyes of the law...

is how we close this case.

Can you guarantee that you can...

bring him to justice with the words of the children?

Can you promise me you can put an end to his crimes?

Can you guarantee that the children will stay safe...

after going back to their lives?

The nation is governed by law...

and has the Capital Defense as well as the Police Bureau.

Can you dare say they have been protecting the weak...

that I saw being exploited at night?

- That... - Officer Park,

continue with your investigation.

I will also do what I can.

Are you not afraid...

of your true identity being exposed?

If you wish to arrest me,

do so right now.

Say that again!

- We deserve to die. - We deserve to die.

You not only lost the children we had in captivity,

but you lost them to the masked man and Park Soo Ho.

I dare you to keep yapping.

Please spare my life.

I truly am generous...

to have you losers...

as my henchmen.

But it is not like I can chop this off.

- I apologize... - Is this the best you could do...

in my absence?

You will eliminate...

anyone and everyone involved in this incident.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

And you.

Do not do anything that will put you further in the doghouse.

Discreetly, get a hold...

of that masked man!

- Yes. - Yes.

I hear you, sir.

Yoon Hak.

Where were you this late at night?

Is that a hint of worry I hear?

As if.

I saw you earlier today, but it is a pleasure to see you again.

It seems as though you were taught a lesson.

I cannot believe you sensed that.

Are you saying you actually got scolded?

Yoon Hak,

what do you say to a few drinks?

Is that a person or a ghost?

Is she not the daughter-in-law of the Minister of Personnel?

What...

My lady, are you all right?

Yong Deok.

I am all right.

Yoon Hak.

You knew what had happened to me as a boy...

and were aware of the danger that lurked around me.

So for what reason did you and Father allow me into your home?

I do not remember all that happened to me,

but regardless...

of my backstory...

and the danger I was in,

you took my hand.

I do not follow.

The memories are lost on me.

So even though you gave me the cold shoulder,

I never found it upsetting...

because of how you took my hand that day.

Soo Ho,

- I do not... - I know.

No one should know that I am alive...

and find out who my father was.

That is why you keep me at arm's length.

You have lived a quiet life just like I had wanted,

so what has changed?

I happened...

to come across someone.

And who is this person?

Are you not afraid...

of your true identity being exposed?

Of course I am afraid.

It has me rattled.

Of course I am terrified.

Can you promise me you can put an end to his crimes?

Was I too harsh?

Darn.

Did he have to stare into my soul like that?

I did not see anything.

I saw nothing.

"Instructions for Women" tells you...

not to peek at others' secrets...

and keep mum about another's wrongdoing...

Whatever!

To be honest,

I do not even know who this person actually is.

You silly boy.

Anyway, what this person is doing...

seems to be the same...

as you taking my hand that day.

You have lost me completely.

Well,

how could one be like that?

I am startled by what this person opts to do.

On top of that, I cannot tell what this person is thinking.

This person acts before thinking,

and I wonder if this person even thinks at all.

However,

everything this person says is true,

and it infuriates me!

Wait.

Who is this person?

I...

am an officer of the Capital Defense Command.

But...

I was not able...

to say anything back.

Who exactly is this person?

That is why...

I will...

arrest Kang Pil Jik no matter what.

I did not know before today...

that you were so weak with alcohol.

I also did not know before today...

that you could drink so much.

So who is that person?

I am not going to tell you.

I am dying to know too.

Know what?

What kind of person she is.

So who is that?

Guess who?

Park Soo Ho!

What in the world did I do?

That is what I am saying.

Has the alcohol worn off a bit?

- When did you get here? - Last night.

How could you do this to me?
