Royal Secret Agent (Secret Royal Inspector: Joseon Secret Investigation Team / Amhaengeosa: Joseonbimilsoosadan / 암행어사: 조선비밀수사단)

Sawol!

Sawol!

Sawol, Sawol.

Who's there?

Stay with me, Sawol.

My baby... Save my baby, please.

Sawol.

Wake up, Sawol!

Sawol. Sawol!

Sir!

Is anyone there? Open this door!

We need help!

Who's there?

What is the matter?

There is no time!

She has lost too much blood.

If we remove the arrow, she may die.

Please save my baby.

Go and bring the midwife.

The amniotic sac has ruptured.

She is in labor.

There's no time.

She cannot give birth in this state.

Neither the mother nor the baby will survive.

Then are you going to just sit and watch?

Sawol, the baby is coming.

You must hang in there.

What are you doing?

I will assist her with childbirth. Help me get prepared.

Can you do it?

I have never tried it, but I have assisted before.

Fine.

Sawol, hang in there.

Not yet. Push!

Push a little bit harder.

Please... Bury me in that place.

The baby is coming.

Just a little bit more.

Sawol.

It is here.

Sawol.

Sawol, it is a boy.

Sawol, what did you see?

Why did you take us there?

Sawol.

Sawol.

Sawol.

Wake up, Sawol.

Sawol!

Sawol!

Sawol...

I share no responsibility for this woman's death.

This woman was murdered.

That is something you must report to the government office.

We need your help.

I understand.

It will be daybreak soon so come with me to the government office.

Thank you.

It's already midday, so where are they?

What if they got into trouble again?

They haven't returned?

No.

I wonder why.

His Majesty will be furious.

I'm the only one who is fulfilling his duty.

- I need to go out for a while. - Sure.

- I'll help you later. - Sure.

What? Why are they back?

Those darn men.

You!

You!

You! I warned you never to show your face here again!

Actually...

Be quiet!

What happened?

It is nothing.

They were asking about you.

Me?

Yes.

Sheriff ordered us to bring you with utmost care.

Sheriff?

No. Never!

Sir.

- Sir. - Sir.

If we fail to bring you,

we're all dead meat.

So, why did you

summon that courtesan late at night?

I did not summon her. She paid me a visit.

This courtesan visited you? Why?

She was about to tell me

when an arrow flew in and hit her.

An arrow flew in, you said?

Is this what killed that courtesan?

That's correct.

That's called a steel tip arrow,

and I was told they're made to order.

You will be able to catch the culprit

by getting a list of suspects who bought the steel tip arrows

from the bow and arrow maker.

This is the arrow you used

when you killed the wild boar, is it not?

If my intention was to kill her, why would I have gone to the doctor?

She was alive then. The doctor will confirm it.

Is he telling the truth?

Yes, he is.

I understand.

Return home for now.

Once the investigation begins,

I will summon you back.

You must find suspects first...

I understand. You may leave.

Thank you for your help.

What is a doctor's job?

I am only disappointed that I could not save the woman's life.

How did it go?

All I tried to do was to save a life, but I almost got framed for murder.

What are you going to do with the baby?

What else could we do?

We should look after him for at least a while.

Give him to me.

Good boy, good boy.

He is hungry.

He needs to be fed.

What are you looking at?

Find someone to nurse him.

I have an urgent business to take care of.

But...

I must pay a visit to the bow and arrow maker.

Here.

I am going to the courtesan house.

I will feed the baby,

and find out more about Sawol.

Someone may know the identity of the boy's father.

There must be a reason why she had to die.

I agree with you.

Stay safe.

Dain!

Yes?

We're finally working as a team.

Haven't you noticed I've been making all the efforts for that?

How sweet her words are.

Did you get it?

Yes.

These were the officials who belonged to the Office of Military Staff Guards.

Do you know who was in charge of escorting Prince Hwiyeong?

Well... I am not sure of that.

Kim Myeongse?

Is this the governor of Jeolla Province Kim Myeongse?

Yes, that is he.

He is the envy of every young official.

He started to climb up the ladder about ten years ago

and got rich by serving as an auditor for two consecutive terms.

I apologize.

But why do you ask?

Good job.

Of course.

Is there something you want to tell me?

You are the one who must talk.

I heard you gave something to the chief secretary.

Well...

Tell His Lordship this instant!

The Chief Royal Secretary was looking for a former seonjeonkwan.

So I only gave him a list of names.

You did not only give it to him.

A military staff guard...

What was the reason?

I do not know the reason.

You handed over a list of officials without knowing why?

And you... Received money for it?

Well, I...

I have committed a grave sin!

It is only grave if you stay silent.

Tell me.

What else did you talk about?

He asked which man on the list escorted P-Prince Hwiyeong,

and I told him I did not know.

That is all!

Prince Hwiyeong?

Please wait here for a moment.

Sure.

You've gone mad!

On top of impersonating a royal agent, you're meeting the Sheriff?

Chunsam, if Lord Igyeom finds out...

Welcome.

It is an honor to have you as my guest.

I am Kang Inchung, the sheriff of this town.

Good.

You asked to see me?

Being a royal agent is difficult, and it does not pay well.

Now that you are in my town, you must give me a chance to treat you.

Treat me?

This is not much, but please accept it.

What is this?

Isn't this gold?

Please put in a good word for me with His Majesty.

Forget it.

Gold to me is like stone!

That is even better.

What?
