Ep.8:
San demands to know if the painter said the girl’s name is Song-yeon. He asks to see her. When the head painter goes to get her, he learns it’s her day off, but also where she lives. In another room, San and Eunuch Nam celebrate finding Song-yeon.
At Uncle’s house, Song is doing laundry. Dae-su says he wants to go with Uncle to the marketplace to find a tutor for the military exam. Everyone happy. Song’s sponsor runs into the yard when Uncle and Dae-su have left. Eunuch Nam is looking for her house, too. He finds laundry, but no Song, because the sponsor (that drip) took her along on a portrait commission. Song has to look at the lady of the house, because she wants her portrait done but a man (the painter) can’t look at her except through a screen. Ridiculous. She looks, describes to him and leaves.
As Song is leaving, a young woman comes out and asks her to come over. (I know that young woman.) This young woman wants Song to “help her make some snacks” (actually, do it herself with the woman watching). It’s pretty complicated; after she’s done, the lady tells her she’s too talented to do odd jobs, she’ll get her mother to give Song a promotion. Song tells her she’s actually a damo, and the woman apologizes, she thought she was a new hire. ;D The girl turns out to be the crown princess (Lady Hyoeui), and her maid is Lady Min (DJG)! This worthy comes to tell her that her mother-in-law (Lady Hye) is at the royal quarters with physicians. Obviously, not pregnant enough. When she comes home, Lady Hye tells her about the doctors, sent by Yeong-jo’s queen. She also asks why Hyoeui is making snacks when she’s supposed to be resting; Hyoeui wants to make snacks for her husband like other wives. Lady Hye sympathizes, but says, you have to get better so you can come back into the palace and stand by your man.
Song trudges home, and as she stops at the art store, someone kidnaps her. Eunuch Nam reports to a disappointed San that nobody was home, but Dae-su and Uncle are living there with Song, too. At the gang boss’s hideout, Sir Choi’s henchman sends the gang out of town. The gang boss stole Song to get revenge on Dae-su; he locks her up and sends the message to Dae-su to come make restitution. Later, the henchman reports to Choi, who dismisses him. Choi tells the waiting Off Jeong that at “the meeting,” in three days, Princess will be plenty angry.
Dae-su and Uncle stop at the widow’s tavern. She obliquely complains that Uncle refuses to marry her and tries to seduce him. Uncle is angry and embarrassed and shoos her away. Then she remembers to give Dae-su a paintbrush and say that his ex-buddies said if he wants the owner, to come before curfew rings. Dae-su slowly works it out. Uncle cautions they may be tricking him and they should check out the story first. They sneak into their own home, and Uncle almost attacks Eunuch Nam, waiting there. Happy reunion. As San waits in the front yard, the idiot Dae-su sneaks up on him with a big laundry stick. They tussle, and San laughs at Dae-su, who thinks he’s found one of the gang’s lackeys. San says, this hurts the same as it did 9 years ago (when Dae-su had beaten him up in the shed). They are discovered by the two eunuchs, who break up the fight. Dae-su has to be convinced it is San, who is still very happy to see the abjectly apologizing Dae-su. (Poor Dae-su.) San forgives his friend. They learn of Song’s kidnapping and San decides to rally the police to rescue her and arrest the perps, over Eun. Nam’s protests. Dae-su goes to trade himself for Song, but gang boss tells him she’s already promised to one of his reprehensible flunkies, and then has his men bury Dae-su. As this takes place, San (who had a great deal of trouble getting them to come) leads a raid of the national police. Dae-su is rescued, but the flunky and his buddy already dragged Song off in the confusion. San sends his soldiers after her, and Dae-su runs off in the night calling her name. The idiots who took her are having a hard time of it because of course she is resisting.
Sir Choi’s henchman reports arrest of the gang. Choi is not happy and goes to the palace.
Eun. Nam reports to San that they can’t find Song, but found part of her skirt so they know the direction they went. Dae-su paces mightily, Uncle complains at him. San reports they can’t find Song; San and Dae-su each blame themselves. Eun. Nam arrives and tells San the king has ordered him back to the palace. San doesn’t want to leave, but everyone talks him into it. He orders Eun. Nam to stay with Dae-su and Uncle, in case he can help them, and orders the police captain back to the palace. San then says he’ll do anything he can to help find Song and returns to the palace.
At Crown Princess Hyoeui’s place, Lady Kim (Min
) tells her San is in trouble because he “left the palace at night and rallied up the national police, causing a huge commotion”—a huge commotion apparently being the greatest sin a royal can commit, if most historicals are any evidence. Lady Hyoeui insists on getting dressed to go to the palace.
San comes to the throne room, but is refused entrance. He insists Yeong-jo be told he’s there. Inside, the ministers are accusing San of “rallying the police for personal use” and “leaving the palace without permission.” “Treason!” the weasels rant, and the usual bureaucrats and scholars are crying out the same petition outside. When Yeong-jo hears San is there, he orders him inside and demands an apology for San’s ridiculous conduct. San says he’s not there to apologize, but he’s there to ask for full powers to investigate the traitors in the court who stole the cloths and are trying to harm him (San). Can’t help but feel that last part is a mistake. Yeong-jo seems incredulous at this last statement and demands proof. San says he’ll make a full report if he’s allowed to investigate. Sir Choi sighs with worry. (Hah!)
Lady Hyoeui visits Yeong-jo’s queen. She tells her she was worried about San. Queen says “she’s been meaning” to ask Yeong-jo to stop being mad at San. ;D The queen promises she’ll do everything she can for San and calls for the royal doctors to attend to Hyoeui, who is relieved and grateful.
Yeong-jo questions San in his chambers about the plot against him. San assures him; Yeong-jo tells San to carry out the investigation and find the culprits.
Dae-su, Uncle and Eun. Nam carry out investigations; nobody has heard from the culprits or seen them. Uncle thinks maybe they sold or killed Song, upsetting Dae-su, but there seems to be no explanation for not being able to find two men dragging a girl around.
At the police compound, San oversees the captain telling everyone that nobody can do anything without San’s charter. San later gives Eun. Nam his charter, but Nam says someone else should do this job (searching for Song), because San won’t be safe without Nam, but San thinks only Nam can find her.
In a dark shed, Song is being sold to someone. She is dragged to a barn and locked in, screaming to be let go. Someone in the dark tells her she’s wasting her time, and Song turns to see several young women dejectedly sitting in the barn with her. She is told that she has, indeed, been sold into prostitution. Song falls to her knees in despair.
At Dowahseo, Song’s sponsor (Mr. Lee) is asking around for her. He thinks he might have worked her too hard. A supervisor comes in and throws a badly painted ceremonial scene at Mr. Lee and tells him to paint it over. The damo all laugh up their sleeves; they obviously know Song has been doing his paintings. It turns out Mr. Lee comes from a renowned family of painters; the Priss Tak talks him down to the supervisor as Mr. Lee shuffles off; even the damo seem to feel sorry for the guy. As he walks in the courtyard, his obscene art dealer comes to get the goods. Mr. Lee gives him one painting, and the guy salivates over it. They discuss its subtleties. The guy flatters Mr. Lee and he gets a free painting out of it.
A Minister comes to the house of his brother to get him so they can visit the queen (they’ve been summoned), but brother is sick. But, he actually pretended to be sick because Off Jeong told him not to go to the meeting. He looks ashamed. Jeong talks some obscure talk about where flowers are planted, then tells brother “she” is waiting for his answer.
Men are training hard under Jeong’s supervision in a secret location; he is told “she” has arrived. Princess is shown at the meeting, she chews out Choi for his “sloppy plan”; he apologizes. Then “she” is announced. The camera pans up the line of conspirators to reveal the person presiding over the meeting: Yeong-jo’s queen.
As the queen leaves the secret location, she tells Off Jeong that nothing better go wrong this time. When Princess asks Jeong what she said, he says she told him to save the Minister of Home Affairs—whoever that is. When Princess points out they can’t even get an assassin because San controls the police (!!!!!), Jeong says he’ll make San write the charter they require in order to shut up the gang that stole the cloths.
Yeong-jo asks San about the criminals; San is going to have them transferred to be tortured. Yeong-jo tells him if he doesn’t get them to confess, San will have deceived the king and the court and that’s a paddling. Oh, no, sorry, it’s treason. Then the police are shown receiving the prince’s charter, to transfer the prisoners. The prisoners, plainly tired and roughed up, stumble along. Out in the countryside, the prisoners notice they are going in an odd direction and protest. Assassins leap up out of the undergrowth and stab everyone and drag the prisoners off (they’re dead but one guy was helping with his legs LOL).
San receives word about the transfer to the Office of Securities; he didn’t issue that charter, he wanted them to go somewhere else (Taeboksi). But I got your charter! San looks at it and is shocked to see his own handwriting and seal. The king arrives and wants to know why the interrogation isn’t going on. Why’s it so quiet? San, embarrassed, has to tell him the prisoners are gone.
