"Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Episode 20" "Three years later..." "Do you have a bird's nest in your hair!" "Look at it!" "How will you be a courtesan if you cannot dress yourself?" "You..." "We need to talk." "How dare you laugh!" "Go at once to the practice room!" "Look at the way you're walking!" "You're like a herd of cows!" "You must walk gently!" "Like butterflies!" "Try and walk properly!" "What time is it now!" "How many times must I tell you!" "Must I tell you again that the Vice Mistress must be up an hour before the girls!" "I said I was sorry!" "I don't know if I made the right decision." " What?" " Giving that Eng-Moo the position!" "It was a good decision." "No..." "I think I made a bad decision." "Chwee-Sun is struggling to be the Mistress as it is." " The Vice Mistress should at least..." " No, that's not true." "The Mistress must be someone that is strict and disciplined." "But the Vice Mistress must be someone who is warm-hearted and loving to the girls." " Someone like you..." " That's right." "Eng-Moo that girl is a bit immature, but she is warm-hearted, isn't she?" "She is a lot like you." "Yes..." "And Myung-Wol was a lot like the Mistress." "Madam...!" "If she was still around, our gyobang would be a lot better off." "Oh no..." "I said the wrong thing again." "You miss her a lot, don't you?" "Miss her?" "She was on the verge of death, but her beloved saved her." "She left with him to try and live a normal life again." " Why would I miss her?" " But you haven't heard from her!" "Heartless girl...!" "She should know how her mother feels." "Even if she knew that, how could she send word to me?" "I told you to paste this up on every busy junction in the country." "Yes, your Excellency." "Is there still no word from Myung-Wol?" "Yes, your Excellency." "If you are lying to me, you will pay with your life." "How can that happen?" "It is the same for you!" "If you do not wish to be removed from your position and your family exiled, make sure you arrest that Myung-Wol the minute she steps into Song-Do, and inform me immediately." "I will obey, your Excellency." "Lord Byuk Gae-Soo has come here again?" "He is an extremely persistent man." "I know." "He has been coming to Song-Do once a week for the past three years." "If she ever gets caught, she will not be safe." "I hope that she is in good hiding." "She must never show herself in public, and live happily in hiding." "I thought we were going to just cover the parts with holes in them." "I did not want you to live in such miserable condition." "I wonder when we're going to have to leave this place too." "No, that will not be so." "We have been living here for a year." "We have had no trouble so far." "Rest assured." "The world has already forgotten about you and I." "It has already forgotten." "Don't worry!" "I have lit a fire, so it will be warm." "Go inside and warm yourself." "I will go and get us some fish by the river." "Are you still scared?" "Are you still scared of being alone?" "Go inside and dress warmly." "You will get cold sitting by the river." "Now what did I say?" "I told you to stay home." "Why did you follow me out to suffer?" "Why don't you give up on finding Myung-Wol?" "Bring me more wine!" "It has been three years, your Excellency." "Each time you fail to find her, you drink until you fall unconscious." "I worry that you will ruin your health." " Bring me more wine!" " Please stop doing this to yourself." "You have already done all that you can..." "You are just a courtesan!" "Didn't I tell you to bring more wine?" "He fell in love for the first time, but he has decided to give it up...?" "Your Excellency!" "He said that it was because he did not want to take away her beloved art?" "Your Excellency!" "Please compose yourself!" "Shut up!" "If you don't like the commotion, then put those two on their knees before me!" "Bring them before me this instant!" "Your Excellency!" "I was going to do that." "I was going to forget that I wanted her." "I was going to cherish her as an artist!" "But that..." "All of that...!" "It was all a ruse to take her for himself!" "How can he throw away his position and his status for a woman?" "I cannot forgive him!" "No, I will not forgive him!" "So what if it has been three years?" "I don't care if it takes ten years or a hundred years." "I will have them tortured before my very eyes!" "Massage my shoulders." "Whenever Lord Byuk Gae-Soo comes by, I feel like a hundred customers have come." "I am so weary." "What a persistent man." "What a persistent and tenacious man!" "He should have given up by now." "How can you ask something of others when you have not been able to do so yourself?" "What?" "You have been sending men to find news of her too, haven't you?" "It would not be you if you just lost your prodigy so easily." " What nonsense you speak!" " Then why won't you give me your position?" "Is that true?" "Is Bu-Yong saying the truth?" "Mistress, how can you?" "Don't you know what an outrageous thing that Myung-Wol has done?" "It is a big enough crime that she ran away from the gyobang." "But she dared to take His Majesty's most trusted advisor away from him!" "What is the use of looking for her?" "She will die for her crimes if she is found!" "It is said that even if Heaven collapses, Man can still survive." "Why?" "Does it make you angry?" "Do you want me to give up finding her and just give you the position of Head Mistress?" "How can that be?" "I do not wish for that." "I am not a child asking for more milk, Mistress." "If you didn't look for her, I would have done so myself." "I did not get a chance to compete against her in a proper battle." "I do not wish to win without a fair fight." "Why do you struggle so?" "Give it to me." "Here..." "Are you happy?" "Do you like this life?" "Are you unhappy?" "How can that be?" "I am happy just to be with you." "That is enough for me." "Then it is the same for me." "She has accomplished both the Sword and the Drum dances." "Now she has her eyes on the Crane Dance." "That is why she is Bu-Yong." "Sometimes I cannot read your mind, Mistress." "You think so highly of her and yet in public you are cruel and unfeeling." "Unfeeling?" "If I had a disciple as hardworking and dedicated as Bu-Yong," "I would give her the position of Head Mistress ten times over." "But you were so infatuated with that Myung-Wol...!" "You think I was infatuated with her?" "Am I wrong?" "No, you are right." "I value Myung-Wol's talents as an artist more than anyone else." "But..." "The child I treasure most, the girl I value most in this world  is that child, Bu-Yong." "What?" "She has climbed over all the mountains in her path." "Watching her work so hard to reach the summit," "I pity her sometimes." "If it were possible..." "If only I am able to..." "I want to see that child reach the summit and stand tall and proud." "That would be the greatest comfort to average artists such as Bu-Yong and myself," "and even you." "Mistress...!" "That is the reason." "That is why I need Myung-Wol." "That Myung-Wol  is the last mountain that Bu-Yong must climb." "Oh, the young miss is here again!" "What happened to the tree...?" "I know you loved this tree, but we couldn't help it." "There are not enough trees to cut down anymore, but Lord Kim is marrying his daughter off, so I sold it to him for a good price." "I am certain that the tree will make a good clothing chest." "Make her a good chest!" "Look at how she wants it." "Did you want a chest?" "In that case, even if I have to steal, I will get one for you." "No, it's not that." "Of course it's not." "Catalpa trees make more that just good clothing chests, don't they?" "What are you thinking of?" "You know that better than I." " My lord...!" " Did you want to play the Guhmungo again?" "Don't you already know?" "It is not that I will not," "It is that I cannot." "If you can play again, do you want to?" "Isn't it the time for the children to learn their lessons?" "Let us go." "Now, the next word is  "ji" for Earth." "Sir... can we eat this?" "No, you cannot." "Throw it away." " I should carry that for you, Sir." " It is alright." "You are not well." " You all did a fine job today." " Thank you, sir!" "So, how goes it?" "Is His Majesty still not budging from his position?" "We might want to consider letting His Majesty win this argument." "What nonsense are you talking about?" "If we allow new ministers to be appointed then we will have another Kim Jung-Han," "No, we will have another traitor like Cho Kwang-Jo!" "We cannot continue to fight His Majesty in everything!" "If we fall out of favor, all of the power we have attained so far will be for naught!" "Let us agree with His Majesty now." "All we have to do is find out who is not on our side and get rid of him." "Have I made a mistake?" "Am I wrong to want to appoint an honorable and capable advisor?" "Of course not, your Majesty!" "If the Minister Kim Jung-Han was still at my side, would I be struggling so much today?" "Your Majesty!" "I asked him to not abandon me." "I asked him to stay at my side." "I told him that he must do this for the sake of the people." "I made this request personally to him." "What a wretched man he is." "Your Majesty...!" "I cannot forgive him." "I will no longer forgive him." "You want me to become an official?" "That's what I said." "That is not possible for such a country bumpkin like myself." " How can that happen?" " That's not true." "I'm not even a nobleman!" "Only nobleman can become officials." "Of course you cannot become a high official." "But you can be an occupational official." "An occupational official?" "If you can speak several languages, you can become an interpreter official." "If you are good at numbers, you can become a treasurer." "If you are good at astronomy, then you are become a astronomer." "These positions are just as valuable to this nation's development." "It is because you can help people." "That is why I spend so much and effort teaching you how to read." "Learn so that you can teach others." "Then you will be valuable to this world." "You...?" "Is it... is it so difficult to forget?" "Is it unbearable  because you cannot forget the time when you were an artist?" "Maybe it was not a good idea." "I should not have taken you away." "I don't think it was a good idea." "No, you are wrong." "It is good thing." "A woman's happiness is simple." "To be one man's wife and to have his child..." "I want you to live as a woman." "What was this life that you wanted from me, mother?" "I still do not know..." "Even though I know that I can never go back," "It is still difficult to accept that my life as an artist is over." "That is why I was not able to put my feet to the ground." "That is why I was never fully at rest." "But now..." "But now I can rest my feet on the ground." "Even if I never go back to my life as an artist," "I have now found a reason to be at peace." " What does it say?" " How should I know?" "You've been learning how to read for so long!" "How can you still not be able to read that?" "Father...!" "Excuse me...!" "What does that say?" "His Majesty is looking for good men." "He is asking for honorable and highly-learned men to come forward to serve him." " Honorable and highly-learned?" " That's right." "What is it?" "I did not know that there was a great scholar in this village!" "How can you not be interested?" "Don't you know what an opportunity this is?" "Even though I am a nobleman," "I am a son of a concubine." "You know that the law prohibits men such as myself from serving in government." "I thought I was going to be rewarded for having found a good man for service, but I just wasted my time!" "But that young nobleman..." "He looks familiar." " Don't you agree?" " Well, I don't really..." "Where have I seen him?" "Have I hurt your feelings by doing something you didn't want me to do?" "It is alright." "Do not worry over this." "But sir..." "Why can't you become an occupational official?" "Isn't it a waste to not use your intellect and education?" "It is not possible for me." "Even if I wanted to, I can't." "Is being a son of a concubine worse than being a country village boy?" "Then who will protect  the music of our land?" "I need advisors." "Didn't I tell you that there are too many men who are tempted by power around me?" "Now and forever, ... love my people just as you are doing now." "Your Majesty..." "Are you lonely?" "Are you still fighting a lonely battle alone in the Palace?" "Please do not forgive me  for leaving your side." "Have you been well?" "It has been a while." "I have some great wares today." "Do you want to see them?" "Look at this!" "Did you come from the capital through" "Pyong-Yang and then to Song-Do like you always do?" "Of course I did!" " Then you must have gossip to tell..." " Of course!" " I heard that..." " No news from Song-Do yet?" "How long has it been since we put out the rumor that her mother's dying?" "It's been about two months..." "Then the news should have spread around the nation by now!" "That..." "You better pray that she has not already come and gone." "And I hope that you didn't let her slip through your fingers!" "Of course not, your Excellency." "What...?" " It could be a false rumor." " She said my mother is dying!" "It could be Byuk Gae-Soo's ruse again!" "Don't you remember his lies?" "I know..." "I know that!" "But what if it is true?" "I cannot let my mother... die without seeing her only child, my Lord!" "But you must not leave caution to the wind." "Let us send someone to Song-Do first." "We can go after we find out more." "What is this?" "It is the drawing of the thief who stole Lord Lee Jin-Sa's wine from his warehouse." "Alright." "Put it out at the market tomorrow." " Yes sir." " Wait!" "Drawing?" "That's right." "The drawings!" "Bring me all the criminal drawings that we put out recently." "Hurry!" "Yes sir!" "The Minister of Culture, Kim Jung-Han?" "I have caught a great big fish!" "What is it?" "You know where the ex-Minister Kim Jung-Han lives!" "Heaven is helping us!" "Now His Majesty will understand." "If you allow just anyone to become officials, you will only attract criminals and traitors!" "No matter what happens, you must catch him." "I will ensure that you are rewarded greatly!" "Yes, my Lord!" "You want me to send someone to Song-Do?" "If I send someone, they will find out." "So send someone quick-footed and send them to Song-Do immediately." " My Lord!" " You can trust the Gyobang master." "If you inform him, he will find a way to protect them." "I understand." "I will send someone." "If Kim Jung-Han has left his house," " ... there is only one place he will go." " Your Excellency...!" "It was worthy my while to create those false rumors...!" "They have finally taken the bait." "Gather all your men." "We will go to Song-Do and seize them." "Go to Choon-Chun and head for the mountains." "Guard the entrance to the village." "If they return to the house, they will not be unharmed." "Yes sir." "Mu-Myung." "Do not tell anyone." "Don't even tell her mother." " Let's not worry her." " I understand, sir." "Let us take a rest." "If we keep going, our horses will not be able to bear it." "Will you consider returning, my Lord?" "What nonsense is this?" "If I return to my mother and die before her eyes, it would not such a bad thing." "But I do not wish for you to suffer the same fate." "You want me to live the rest of my life in guilt?" "How can you be so heartless?" "My Lord!" "I told you before." "I will never let go of your hand again." "Even you tell me that you want to let go," "I will not let you do so." "Let us go." "It will be better for us to enter Song-Do before daybreak." "Are there still no signs of them?" "There is no way they could have gotten here so fast." "They will not be traveling on the main roads either." "I was thinking, your Excellency..." "What about sending these men home and bringing them back in the morning?" "What have I been telling you so far!" "Anything is possible for those two!" " Where are you going so early?" " We were on our way to the temple." "The temple...?" "I want to go and pray for my daughter's well-being." "Don't worry too much about her." "She is fine and well." "What... did you say?" "She is well?" "Did she... send news?" "She has sent news, hasn't she?" "You know something, don't you?" "How can I know something when you don't?" "You know they say no news is good news." "Since we haven't heard anything, they must be living well." " It is cold." "Take care of her." " Yes, sir." "Those men must have been sent by Byuk Gae-Soo." "They are looking out for us." "They must be assuming that we have heard the news of your mother, and are expecting us to come here." "We cannot enter the city with them here." "Let us go the temple and seek help there." "What do you mean Myung-Wol's mother isn't at the gyobang?" "What were your men doing that they could not keep watch on a blind woman?" "They said she went for her prayers!" "How can you trust them?" "Myung-Wol must have sent her a message." "Why else would she have left for the temple at the crack of dawn?" "Your Excellency, you are thinking too simply." "If Myung-Wol had called her to the temple, why would her mother be crazy enough to tell everyone she was going to the temple?" "That... doesn't make sense, does it?" "Of course not." "Alright." "Go and see to your duties." " Yes, your Excellency." " Wait." "That temple..." "You said that Myung-Wol and her mother used to go to that temple frequently?" " Yes." " Send the men there immediately." " What?" " She will show up there." " Your Excellency...!" " Kim Jung-Han is not a fool." "He is not a rash man." "He knows that to show themselves here is dangerous." "He knows that he will have to use other people." "Miss...!" "Jin-Yi!" "What did you just say?" "You are safe!" "You are unharmed...!" "You have been so brave." "You have been so brave, my child." "Are you alright?" "Are you unwell at all?" "I am alright." "As long as you are alright, I am alright." "I... do not know how to thank you." "You have made her well..." "I did it because I wanted to." "Where is Hyun-Geum?" "What is it?" "You cannot stay here." "You must run away." "Take this and leave." "There are too many eyes here." "You must hide well." "Do not ever let yourself get caught." "Go home first." "I will go the shops and try and get something for these." " Take your time." " Why?" "Buy yourself a new dress, and touch up your hair." "We are expecting a guest when we go home." "A guest?" "Is your guest more important than mine?" "Go on and rush home." "I will bring my guest with me." "But he's a little shy, and may not come with me so easily." " Sir!" " Why do you just stand there?" " What is the matter?" " Search the grounds, Father!" " Hurry!" " Alright, alright!" "This is the Guhmungo you requested me to buy for you." "Take it and leave immediately!" " What is the matter with you?" " The officials are looking for you!" " They are at your house to ambush you!" " What?" "Sir...!" "Sir...!" "Just stay here!" "I will bring her to you!" "I told you she is already on her way home!" "Then there is nothing you can do!" "You must save yourself first!" "I can't." "I won't let her be captured!" "Who goes there!" "Let's go!" "I didn't know you were going to walk right into our hands!" "Seize him immediately!"
