I'm leaving tomorrow before sun rise.
You must come.
Don't go. The fact that you are going to him, I don't like it!
Find it! Search thoroughly and find everyone!
We must show mercy to him.
In fact, I'm in a relationship with the chief diver's daughter.
It must hurt a lot.
Episode 7
A bad diver, with ugly face and weak body, Beo Jin...
Definitely, She can't get married in Tamna.
Although he is good for nothing, he is tall and fairly good looking.
Although I am a little bit concerned that he came here as an exile for harassing women,
I can put things right by beating him.
What's wrong?
Beo Jin, you tell me the truth.
Mom...
You set a breakfast table, which you've never done.
Why did you sneak out of the house at night?
Answer me.
What wrong did you do?
Mom, it's not like that.
Were you thinking of running away with the exile at night?
You hit on the exile, didn't you?
Mom!
It's never like that.
Tell me the truth.
It's not like that at all!
I guess I have to keep an eye on you two.
I thought he was just a cigarette vendor, but he's been stealing tributes to the king.
Send those thieves to Jeju Provincial Office tomorrow.
Finally, I can save my face in front of the Jeju Governor.
But, there are many things that are strange.
The tributes on the ship are sufficiently lacking when comparing it to the amount of the stolen tributes.
Especially, the fact that there were no items of real value such as horses worries me.
All we have to do is to send the thieves to Jeju Provincial Government.
I'm sure they'll look into this more closely.
The royal secret Inspector, himself, pointed out the thieves.
And you caught them according to his order. What are you not happy with now?
The royal inspector has been missing for days, too.
He must have left since he finished his job.
A royal secret inspector, who came to catch the thieves of the tributes,
didn't even interrogate them when they're actually caught.
You just think too much.
Hyang Dol!
What is it, Beo Jin?
Oppa, I.... William...
Oh, that blue-eyed...Right, that blue-eyed man.
Could I take a look at him just once?
Ah! Hyang Dol, I only saw him from far away earlier...
Okay, just for a little while.
I might get in trouble if the elder finds out.
Go ahead.
Hello. (literally, "Have you eaten?")
Wow. That's really amusing. Your hair is really golden.
Are you okay? Are you hurt at all?
I'm okay.
Beo Jin, don't worry.
It was good that you didn't come. If we got caught together, it would have been worse.
No, I did go.
I was trying not to be late, but the police was already there.
Beo Jin, you came?
Is that so? You did come?!
Oh, what happened to Yan?
I don't know.
He must be hiding somewhere alone.
William, don't go anywhere and stay put here.
This home of the elder is the safest place in our village. Do you understand?
Yes.
Tell Park Gyu that I thank him. Thanks to him, I'm still alive.
Okay. I'll tell him for sure.
Beo Jin, you should get going.
Okay, oppa.
How can a person's hair be this golden?
Beo Jin.
Be careful on your way.
Elder, thank you for the medicine you sent me last time.
Yeah, I hope you'll stay healthy.
You' have to be a great diver like your mother, don't you?
Oppa, I'll get going then.
Elder, it looks like the westerner and Beo Jin know each other.
The westerner and the cheif diver's daughter?
Yes, Beo Jin had a Christian necklace around her neck.
Oh.... That girl must have been hiding him all this time.
Continue to monitor her.
So, did you find it out?
After my hard work to find out, the thief is
an owner of a small boat in Sanbang village, who mainly trades goods with peddlers in mainland.
When he was about to set the ship afloat, they all got caught due to the secretary's bust.
You should have been the one to bust to make it more dramatic. How unfortunate!
An owner of a small boat?
What much did he steal?
Abalones, sea cucumbers, and things like that.
They are terrible ***.
Any horses?
What are you talking about? Just a few buckets of abalones and sea cucumbers.
They are not the thieves.
What?
If the horses, the most valuable ones, aren't there,
the secretary must caught the wrong men.
But, the royal secret inspector pointed out the ship?
Please help yourself.
Thank you.
Was the ship you were on a merchant ship that makes trades?
Yeah.
Then, you must be a genuine sailor.
A sailor?
My friend is a sailor.
What happened to that friend?
Who are you?!
That's enough!
East India Company...?
You don't need to be alarmed.
This is the safest place on Tamna.
You look like you have something you want to say.
Could you do this old man a favor?
If I can trade something with you for what I'm looking for,
then, of course, it's a possibility.
You know very well how to do business.
As the dawn breaks, avoid people's notice and go on shore.
It's an important letter, so make sure you deliver it to Hanyang.
Young Master, leaving you behind in this backcountry makes me want to cry and pains me.
Don't you know I can't leave here?
-Hurry and tak off. -Yes.
Exile.
William told me to tell you that he thanks you.
So, you did meet him.
What is this?
It's an herb that's good for healing wounds. Apply this to your wound.
Did you get it for me?
No! I had it here at home.
I tried it on me before when I went to dive last time...
If you don't want to, then, fine.
Don't ever do a foolish thing after being impelled by a momentary emotion.
How dare you followed the westerner without knowing where he was going!
You are so fearless.
I don't care where it is.
Exile.
There's nothing here in Tamna that I want to do or can do.
I lived until now without any reasons and joys.
But, William made me happy for the first time of my life.
As long as where he is going is not Tamna, I don't care at all where he's going.
Even if you hate it here, the life that's given to you is in here, isn't it?
I know life here is difficult.
Even so, you can't possibly leave without your family.
Exile, you don't understand how I feel.
Anyway, why did you say you didn't like it?
What?
You didn't say I couldn't go, but you said you didn't want me to go.
Don't go.
I don't like it. The fact that you're going to him, I don't like it.
Why did you say that?
Didn't you say you didn't want me to go to William last night?
That is...
If that happens, wouldn't your mom make me do all the housework that you used to do?
That's why I, of course, wouldn't want you to go.
Of course.
The way you think is...
You must have been treated well.
Yan!
Let's go to sleep for now.
William, I have to go away for a few days.
Wait for me here quietly..
Hyang Dol.
Yes, sir.
For the sake of Tamna, Sulmondae Granny has sent us a great gift.
If we.... collaborate with East India Company,
Seorin merchant group will be nothing.
If this goes well, we won't need to see that snakelike woman again.
Hanyang Seorin Merchant Group
You all can take leave now.
Have you heared of East India Company?
East India?!?
East India Company?
Yes, Your Excellency.
They are a merchant group that
trades Western products for Asian artifacts.
These are from them.
These are tokens of my respect to you all.
How was your trip? Orabeoni (Older brother)?
You've done well.
I've completed the task as you requested.
The high priest said, if we don't give him the guns and the gun powders we promised,
he won't cooperate anymore.
I'm sorry.
Not at all.
He's been waiting a long time.
I think it's about time he showed his true color.
It signals it's about the time we made our moves.
Before that, I'll have to go to Nagasaki.
Are you saying you are going to Nagasaki personally?
Huijida merchant group wants to pay with Japanese artifacts...
I'm planning to get paid with silver.
Since silver is highly valuable in Qing,
we'll be able to make profits that are more than three times of our purchasing price.
I'm planning to leave tomorrow morning.
I'll make sure everything gets ready.
Is there anything you want to tell me by any chance?
There is an exiled scholar in Jeju.
He's been digging up here and there.
He doesn't look like an ordinary exiled scholar.
I think we should check his bankground.
Did you say an exiled scholar?
He name is?
A person named Park Gyu.
Park Gyu?
Did you say Park Gyu?
I see you guys have grown up much.
As expected,
this wasn't a big deal after all.
Oh right. I, Park Gyu,
can do anything!
Don't you agree?
Enjoy your food.
Please,
visit me no more than once a day.
I know you are happy in your heart.
Eat this.
No thank you.
Acting as if you don't like it...
What the...
Spit it out!
Made with these beautiful hands...
It tastes even better.
I see you have good eyes.
Keut Boon.
What?!?
What's so great about this exile?!
Ahjumma!
Look what Keut Boon is doing!
She brought a pile of rice cake!
Ahjumma!
What rice cake?!
Look at her!
What rice cakes?!
Ahjumma!
What rice cakes?!
I told yout hat you shouldn't flirt with men using food a thousand times.
Keut Boon, let's go.
Let's go...
I'd rather be in jail
than be on house arrest.
One for William.
This one for the exile.
Wait a second.
why would I give this to the exile?
I'll just eat it.
Are you stealing food again?
For who?
That one looks good.
I know...that you're taking those to the exile.
The exile?
Is that true?
Beo Jin and Exile are really in love?
Mom, is that true?
Ajumma.
Exile has standards!
Why would he look at Beo Jin
when there's the prettiest girl in the village right here?
Well, I guess so.
She's not as pretty or strong as Keut Boon.
At the coming deep diving trip this year,
I'll show what I got.
Is she going to the deep dive?
How lucky!
Stop chatting and get back to work!
Yes.
Here,
Give it to the exile.
From now on, you need to protect what's yours.
Understood?
Hide it!
Why does she keep doing that?!
What is this?
It's not something made in Chosun.
Sir!
I've been searching everywhere in the village, but
I was told that the royal secret investigator couldn't be found.
How is the exiled scholar doing?
He's bored to death.
Has the high priest or any stranger visited him?
The girls of the village come to stare at him.
I heard the servant of the scholar was here.
What about him?
Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him at all recently.
I've got this all wrong.
There's no use in locking up one sly fox because those clever ones wouldn't walk in.
Are you frustrated?
I bet you are.
Since such a busy-body like you is stuck here all day.
If you know it so well, release me from the house arrest.
What happened to your servant?
What's the use of staying here?
I sent him back to Hanyang a while ago.
You must need your servent more since you are stuck here.
But, you send him back instead?
What would I need him?
The only thing to do is making straw shoes.
I felt bad when I saw him suffering from endemic disease, so I sent him back.
What a sight! A nobleman like you braiding straw shoes...
You've totally lost your face. [meaning losing respect and being humiliated]
I'll release you from house arrest. But, just don't make the same mistake twice.
Guards!
Yes!
I'm releasing the exile from house arrest as of today.
Let's go back to the government office.
Yes, sir!
You've worked really hard!
Keep being on the watch for the exile.
Pardon?
Observe who he meets and what he does.
Then, report to me.
Especially if a out-of-towner visits him, you must find out who it is.
Understood?
Why did you release him from house arrest then?
It's better to watch him from here.
I'll mark your word. I'll keep a close watch.
William!
Beo Jin.
William, the elder must have been giving you good food.
You look healther and even your hair is shinier.
He's a good person.
He even gave me these books.
Wow! It's really beautiful.
Beo Jin, you look so different than these ladies in the drawings.
The ladies' eyes are small and tilted, but your eyes are round and big.
I know it too. That I'm ugly...
No, Beo Jin is pretty.
Even more than the drawings...
You're the prettiest in the world!
Too much flattery makes you seem like a liar.
I don't lie to you.
I brought this for you from the orchard. Try it.
Eat, eat, eat.
I heard someone was here from a merchant group in Hanyang.
You must already know she's not trustworthy, Your Highness.
She's someone who will become a threat to Tamna..
If she's going to be a threat,
then, how about you?
I'm just someone who wants Tamna to be
a respected region of Chosun.
If Your Highness supports me,
I think it is possible.
There's no mention of Park Gyu among the exiles sent to Jeju.
Park Gyu was on top in the government officials exam.
Really? Whose son is he?
He's the only son of Park Chul, the Minister of Culture and Education.
The famous one who finished first on all three exams....
The house of the Minister of Culture and Education, Park Chul
I'm honored to meet you for the first time, madam.
I let you in because you were a guest to this house,
what brings a leader of a merchant group here?
Did you come here to request something?
Madam, I'm just a merchant.
I've heard of your great taste in finding good products.
I'm only here to ask you to try our merchant group's products as well.
Seorin merchant group's products are of high quality
that many people from Qing or Japan want them.
I know it since I've heared of it before.
What is this?
I've heard since you sent your son, who passed the exam as a first place, so far away,
you are feeling lonely.
I've prepared something to give you comfort.
Even if it was because of the king's order...
When I think of how my son, Gyu, is suffering in such a remote place...
You mean that remote place is...
The place where the most extreme offenders are sent....
Are you speaking of Jeju?[Jeju = Tamra Island]
Anyway, what is this that you wrapped so tightly?
Aigoo, you came just in time.
Did you find out what that powder is?
Of course.
It's an anesthetic.
An anesthetic?
It's not something one can find anywhere in Chosun.
It's all from Qing (China).
That's why I didn't recognize what it was at first.
So, there's no place to get that anywhere here in Jeju?
I wonder if merchants who visit Qing can get it...
Did you want me to look into that, too?
Please. I'll return later.
Ah...
Why is he telling me what to do for free?
I heard you were released from house arrest.
You must have been frustrated.
Thank you for worrying about me.
Have you seen this before?
Have you seen this before?
I don't know.
I see.
Do you know what this is?
Why did you take it if you don't know what it's for?
You should have taken something else instead.
Do you know the owner of this?
I've seen him a few times.
What's his name?
What does he do for a living?
You don't introduce yourself when you gamble.
He's just a merchant from onshore.
You clearly said it out of your mouth that he's a merchant.
Did you also hear what and where he sells?
I think he sells dishes used for rituals...
I heard he had to go to the high priest's house.
The high priest?
Aigoo... I'm glad you came.
Did you find out?
There was someone ordered just one horseshoe last year at Chaema village.
Who was it?
That's the strange part.
He was a servant of the high priest.
I wonder why he ordered it there instead of the ones in his village.
Ah!!! Ah!!!
Oh my!
Of course, my Keut Boon!
How could you find a treasure like this in the sea?
Aigoo!
Good girl, good girl!
What is it?
Is this eatable?
Aren't these uneatable beans someone threw away?
You were bragging you brought something good from the deep diving trip...
Fatty, is there something you can't eat?
What ?
Damn! Lets go, lets go!
What the hell is this!
What a waste of energy!
I came because I have to deliver something to William.
Since it's late, I'll just take this to him and leave right away.
What's this?
Take a look. Does this belong to you?
This curly and curvy thing..
Oh, this is coffee. Where did you get it?
Keut Boon found it during her deep diving trip.
This is a tea that Europeans drink.
It takes away sleepiness and clears your head.
And it smells very good.
Is it that good?
Can I taste it now?
Let's drink it together later.
You will like it a lot, too.
William.
Since you're here all the time,
you must feel frustrated.
No, it's okay.
William.
That's not how you eat it.
So... My mom...
told me to bring the dyed cloth that's dried.
I have to get going.
So, you go to sleep soon, too.
I'll be back tomorrow.
She's so lovely.
Troublemaker, what are you doing here?
Exile.
Why are YOU here?
Do you know where this is?
Are you here to see the westerner?
I told you before not to go around!
I knew you would cause a big problem sooner or later.
Exile, did you lose your head?
I'm not the one who caused a big problem, but you!
Chasing women... gambling...
Now, you even steal?
Think about your mom and dad in Hanyang.
Enough.
That's enough, so get out of here.
Hurry and go!
You just told me to get out!
If you get out now, you'll be in trouble.
I'm getting out.
Sir.
The secretary is here to see you.
Oh no, sir!
You should not barge in like this.
You can't do this.
Sir!
What a rude thing to do!
You come in late at night without an appointment, and what is this ruckus about this late at night?!
I saw someone who shouldn't be here going in.
Please move aside.
Someone who shouldn't be here?
If there is such a person, shouldn't I be the first one to know?
What nonsense are you speaking of?
Whether it makes sense or not, we'll find out.
Did you just come out from that room?
Hyang Dol.
Take the westerner out of here.
You must not
be seen by the secretary.
Yes.
Stop there!
Since I'm not familiar with the grounds,
you need to guide me.
Lead the way!
William.
We have to run away!
The secretary is here. We have to run away!
The secretary?
William, if you get caught by the secretary, you'll be in big trouble.
Stop there!
You said no one was here. But, why is there a light in that room?
That's enough.
So, leave immediately!
As soon as the day breaks, I'm going to report this to the director of the government office.
Today's disrespectful attitude and actions of yours...
You will have to take reponsibility of it.
Exile.
Where are we going?
What are you doing there?
Hurry and jump off.
You're such a troublemaker...
What an interesting scene!
As a so-called "aristocrat", you are used to crossing walls.
How did you come to jump over this wall?
Were you looking for a place to have your tryst?
A westerner?!
Since they have to counterchange the tributes, they won't stay still for sure.
Hey, what's all this?
Coffee. It's a tea people drink in England.
I...become happy with I'm with you, William.
Beo Jin!!
The exile will definitely come.
