The first 200 lines.
You arrested me.
Take me to the Department of Justice.
What on earth is this ridiculous behavior of yours?
I will do so.
However, before I take you to the Department of Justice,
there is something you must do.
These people suffered under your unjust tyranny...
and lost family, friends,
and even their land and homes.
You must first apologize to them.
What? I must apologize?
What they want is your sincere remorse and apology.
You are so ignorant and idiotic.
Do you know this little of how the world works?
Remorse?
Think carefully.
If I had even a sliver of a conscience,
would I have gained such power?
Stop talking about tomfoolery like remorse...
and take me to the Department of Justice!
I will pay for my crimes there.
You...
Do you see why we are here and not at the Department of Justice?
You imbecile!
Watch your language.
Or you could lose your head.
What did I do that was so wrong?
To gain power, you broke moral laws that bind family...
and took lives.
You despised others and mocked justice!
How is that a crime?
Yearning for riches...
and wishing to obtain power...
is human nature.
I only did what I was able to.
You are the incompetent one for not doing the same!
Human beings do not take lives...
or let down the rules of the world...
just to fulfill their nature.
That is only the instinct of a beast.
Since...
you are nothing but an animal,
can I behead you now?
No. Listen.
How about...
we talk it out as noblemen?
We are a class above the rest,
and we have to keep face.
Right?
Good.
Send away the lowlifes...
so we can...
talk about it in private, like human beings.
Let us talk it out.
My lord.
Will you ask for forgiveness,
or will you choose death?
Rather than apologize to lowly beings like them,
I would have you kill me.
Do you not think it would be too easy to kill you like this?
You will live a life that is worse than death.
Take him to the Department of Justice!
Yes, my lord! - Yes, my lord!
My lord. He deserved to die. Why did you spare his life?
He is not even worth killing.
I only wished he would show remorse.
He will pay for his crimes.
He brought it upon himself.
What will happen to them now?
Park Do Soo will be forced to trek 1,180km...
and then put under house arrest.
What exactly is "house arrest" like?
A fence of thorns will be put up around the house he lives in,
and the main gate will remain locked.
He will not have contact with other people.
How many rooms will my new mansion have?
Will I have servants?
You are out of your mind.
It is really over now.
Well done, my lord.
Well done. - You did well.
I owe it all to you.
Maybe.
We can all...
go home now.
Yes! - We can go home!
Let us go home!
Park Seung will be removed from office...
and boiled to death.
How do you mean?
The criminal is put in a cauldron and we pretend to boil him alive.
Once he gets out,
although he is alive, he is to be treated like the dead.
Wait.
What if I want to urinate?
How dare a ghost speak? That is against the rules!
Here, pee in this.
Do you remember me?
You are...
Tae Seo's mother who ran away.
You do remember me, then.
You ran away from home.
You should have died and left the face of this earth.
How dare you return and show your face?
You lowly, shameless wench.
The lowly being you speak of is Do Soo.
He has three red spots on his back, does he not?
How do you know...
my Do Soo has three red spots on his back?
Because he is my son.
I did not want him to live the life I did,
so I swapped the two babies.
What on earth...
are you saying?
Tae Seo is your legitimate son.
Not Do Soo!
The boy you used as a pawn then killed off mercilessly...
because he was no longer of use to you.
He is your legitimate son!
I waited for this day my whole life.
I will pay for what I did with Do Soo.
You can...
spend the rest of your life writhing in torment...
before slowly dying in pain.
You... Darn you...
Father.
We should go.
No.
Wait and see.
When you die not long from now,
you will think of this day...
and weep with regret.
No!
Do Soo... No, Tae Seo...
No!
No!
No...
Ten marks out of ten.
Again and again and again.
My lord.
Why...
I have... - You have what?
I have resigned!
He is finally jobless! - Yes.
Dreams do come true! - That is correct.
I am going to roll around in bed...
and do nothing.
Yes! - Yes!
We will eat, play, and sleep. - Nice.
We get to rest and play. - I am so excited.
We will eat, play, and sleep. - Yes!
I can do anything I want.
Yes. - That is correct.
We will eat, play, and sleep. - Yes.
Are we missing anything?
No. We can sell the rest at the market.
Gwang Soon. Bi Ryeong.
If you are going because of me,
there is no need. I can always visit Hanyang.
What do you mean?
I am so happy I can see my big brother and little siblings.
What good is Hanyang without you?
I came to be with you two.
I would not have come here if I were by myself.
It is a shame since we have this house,
but I prefer going to Ganghwa Island together.
You planned to go there anyway. - That is true.
Thank you both so much.
It is our pleasure. - Gosh.
I will be a seamstress there and Bi Ryeong will be a shaman.
What about you?
I am thinking about opening a pharmacy.
Yes, a pharmacy.
I hear there are many children who cannot get medicine...
even if they are sick.
That is what I hear.
I learned a good amount from watching my father.
I can differentiate them and know their uses,
so it may help if I open a pharmacy.
That would be great. - Right?
But... A seamstress,
a shaman, and a pharmacy.
It would cost quite a bit to set all of that up.
It will. But we worked hard.
If you look at... - Wait.
What?
Actually, I discussed it with Master Yi Eon.
What is next on the agenda?
I will open a dumpling place.
What?
You know that I make the best dumplings...
in all of Joseon.
Have you seriously lost your mind?
How could a nobleman run a dumpling place?
Even if you have left your government job,
sales is for those of lowly birth.
Furthermore, if you get unlucky, it can destroy your family.
Your descendants will not be able to take the state exam.
I know that.
However, it has been my lifelong dream to be the best chef in Joseon.
