Episode 7: Aconite

The tuberous root of alpine monk's-hood

Goodness, this looks divine!

This was specially seasoned with sesame oil and mild soy sauce—

Goodness, it is seasoned well.

She is one wild eater.

How could you though?

I know it was part of the operation,

but how could you not tell me about the Crown Prince's bodyguards?

It would have ruined the element of surprise.

I understand that,

but I almost died of a heart attack!

I mean...

You could have told me.

Are you all right?

This is why I told you to chew before you swallow.

Rather than gentle pats, can you rub my back

in a downward motion?

You want me to rub your back?

Yes, in a downward motion.

A downward motion.

Seriously! Are you even doing it?

Yes, I am.

So this is why meat is an acquired taste.

You dug in as if you had not eaten meat before in your life

and look where that got you.

Maybe this was all in vain.

When would a commoner's wife like me have been able to eat chunks of meat?

I have never seen so much meat on my plate before.

Still!

It does not excuse your spitting out the food.

You coughed all over mine and ruined it.

You may have it all instead.

What are these?

Taffy.

Taffy?

I must be losing my mind.

Anyway, who makes taffy with a stick attached to it?

He is not here, my lord.

My lord...

Where is Hong Seok-ki?

Have that chief clerk of marine transportation come out here.

Chief Clerk Hong is not here, my lord.

Has he already left?

Then where does he live?

That is not what I meant. He was earlier arrested

by a secret royal inspector.

A secret royal inspector?

He is being detained at Soyang Guild.

Why did you not say that earlier?

I already mentioned it a few times, my lord.

Did you?

Let us move out!

What...

My lord, are you all right?

Shut it!

Sweeties.

Have you been well?

How disappointing this is!

Us talented entertainers

came all this way to celebrate

- the head of the hideout's birthday. - That we did!

But the coy and stubborn young man from Hanyang

used us as bait

- to make a mess of things. - That he did!

This is what they mean by cooperating to live.

Because if you do not, you will pay with your life.

So let us have some fun to see whether or not

we can come out of this alive.

From what I hear, they are having a party at the hideout.

They must think all is well.

How dare they have a party on someone else's birthday

at his own residence?

Let them have their fun while it lasts

for they will all be dead soon.

Tae-seo, what should we do about your arm?

I will have no problem killing those rats.

Go get the land mine. I will lay out the fuse.

Wait, you are going to use it here?

Hey, you could blow up all of Baekgwiryeong.

I will gladly blow up bigger things to catch the inspector.

Hurry.

Is there anything I cannot do?

Whoever marries me is one lucky woman. I wonder who it will be.

My gosh!

Look at me!

She laughs so easily.

Look. Do you see this?

My lord.

- Do you see this? - You must learn how to have fun.

- What? What do you mean? - Come on, quick.

- What do you want me to do? - Look, everyone else is having fun.

Take a look around.

Gosh, come on!

Goodness.

Come on! Wave your arms like this.

No! Wave your arms about.

Oh, gosh.

Like this!

My gosh.

Are you all right, my lord?

Oh, dear. That was so close.

I stepped in when your lips were about to meet midair.

Seriously, what would you do without me?

- Thank goodness I stepped in, right? - Right, yes.

Thank you. Thanks for doing that.

Since when did you care so much about me?

- There. - What?

Hey, untie me.

Hey! What about me? I am right here.

Hey. You!

Do not do anything funny.

Can you even use that?

I used to be a bandit.

Did I not tell you?

You used to be a bandit.

And now, you are a fake shaman. You are really something.

Corrupt officials like you are not much different from an outlaw like me.

You little...

Young Master, you should not have...

This man is Hong Seok-ki, right?

I need him dead,

so my father can sleep well at night.

Did I kill the right man?

Yes! You... You got the right man.

He is the chief clerk.

Who are you?

Me? I am... Just a nobody.

I do not even know why I was dragged here and got tied up like this.

I have nothing to do with those people!

That wench over there tried to attack the chief clerk.

She must have a huge grudge against him!

- Her? - Yes!

What are you waiting for? Get her!

Get her, now!

Hey.

Hold on.

Take your time.

Let us have some fun.

There we go.

Ma'am.

We have these leftover bones.

Shall we make some soup with these and perilla leaves?

The kids will get hungry soon.

- What is it? - Gokdu wants

a five-day extension on the payment.

Why is it so hard to eke out a living?

All the things I have to put up with just to put food on the table.

- I will come with you. - Just feed the children something.

You had better not cross that line.

Understood.

How dare you?

You must pay for the things you took.

Or you pay otherwise.

That is how we do business. You know that.

There are some problems in Baekgwiryeong.

We asked for a five-day extension.

We will pay you.

Five days?

That is a distant future to me.

You must pay me by the end of tomorrow.

If you do not, our deal is off.

Can you sell that much gunpowder in the market?

Or do you plan to sell it to the Board of War?

If that is not your plan, you had better treat me with some respect.

Other than Gokdu,

there is no guild that can buy that much gunpowder in this country.

And you had better not underestimate me.

I am the only one in Joseon

who can make as much gunpowder

as Gokdu needs.

I will give you three more days.

Wait.

You damaged our goods.

You must pay for it!

I taught you a lesson on how we do business,

which comes at a price!

Ma'am, the translator sent a message.

East India Trading Co., Portugal

A ship sailing from Portugal to Nagasaki

is loaded with rifles.

How many murders have occurred in just a month?

Should I just turn myself in?

This is why they say you must never commit a crime.

Agriculture is the country's foundation.

You must be tired. Why not stay another day?

We come when asked and leave when it is time to go.

That is the way we do things.

We had fun,

so it is now time to go elsewhere.

Hey, clown. Let us get going!

Yes, sir!

My lord.

We will get going.

This fast?

If word gets out there was a commotion in this area,

the government officials from the palace will come to investigate.
