Three men return to Korea to find no means to make living, and decide to form a con ring. Their cons range from selling a chicken as phoenix and disguising an ordinary sword as one that belonged to the great Admiral Yi Shun-shin. Soon, they become wanted by the authorities. The trio continues their scam under the radar. When their attempt to steal from the richest man in town, SUNG Dae-ryun, fails, In-hong sets up another con. He spreads the rumor that gold has been found in Daedong River, and lures SUNG into the trap.

If it is illegal, I can get rid of

the law.

I have that kind of power.

But what about you?

In your hands, it is totally useless.

Selling it to me is the best plan.

I am offering you a fair price.

Even if I can't mine it,

I'm fine with that.

Didn't I already tell you?

I built the dam out of curiosity.

Let's be frank with each other.

If you weren't interested in

a transaction,

you wouldn't have shown me

the dam.

What the heck are you

talking about?

The breeze is nice here. You

can hear the sound of the water.

It's so very pleasant!

800,000.

I mean, no matter what you say,

my ancestors have passed this

down.

To rush to a decision so quickly

would be a bit much.

Anyway, I need to satisfy my

curiosity.

Please give me two days.

After that, I'll give you an

answer.

I understand. We'll do it that way.

The Daedong River has gold?

How much is in there?

If there is a gold vein in the

river,

it is estimated to be worth

several million.

Song Dae Ryeon, that bastard.

The dampago wasn't enough.

Now he wants to privately mine

a gold vein.

This must never be allowed

to happen.

Immediately dispatch the

Imperial Guard to Pyeongyang!

Yes, Your Majesty.

Is this my chance to catch

Song Dae Ryeon?

Prepare for me to travel

unofficially.

Yes.

After that, I'll give you an

answer.

I must make him an offer he

can't refuse.

Gyu Yeong.

Go there.

My Lady!

You came.

I just gave up.

Giving up my studies and

going to Pyeongyang,

was the best thing.

I was so fortunate to meet

Lady Gyu Yeong.

Like this, we can enjoy such a

beautiful night together.

You have such a nice smile.

That smile... May I always see it?

I am shackled to Excellency

Seong.

I am a living object.

But thanks to you,

I can remember how to feel

like a person.

But it's only for today.

Thank you. I came because I

wanted to tell you that.

No matter where I go,

I won't forget about today.

My Lady.

Actually...

What are you guys doing?

Where is Lady Gyu Yeong?

Bring her in!

My Lady!

From what I hear, when a

female animal is in heat,

the male animal will travel

as far as the eye can see.

The male animal in this case,

coincidentally,

just happens to be you.

Come have some drinks with me,

and we'll play a strip off her

clothing game.

This has gone far enough!

Sell me the river for 800,000.

Take the lady out of here!

700,000.

500,000.

Do not disgrace this lady

any further!

I will sell it!

It's sold for 500,000 nyang.

But there is one condition.

Give Lady Gyu Yeong to me.

That dog had clawed the walls,

and would never feel anything

for her owner.

But...

with your sincerity,

maybe things will change.

Stay here for today.

We'll complete the transaction

tomorrow.

Where do you think you're

going?

I'm carrying out the duties

assigned by my young master.

Why do you ask?

Your young master,

will be spending the night as a

guest in our house.

What?

And tomorrow,

the river will be sold.

Bring the documents to the

dam at 8 a.m.

I have heard that you are a

very reliable shaman.

Help me find someone.

We must go faster!

Yes!

It is finally completed!

It's magnificent!

Just look at this!

Young master!

Is it everything okay?

Yes, it's fine.

Please confirm it.

A deed equivalent to half the

land in Pyeongyang.

The current market value

is 500,000 nyang.

I will trust you.

Okay then.

Just to be completely certain,

I have checked through the

records,

and confirmed the authenticity

of your deed to the river.

But regarding you, there is

one thing I'd like to confirm.

Please do so.

In Hanyang,

someone stole my dampago

tobacco.

A guy called Kim In Hong.

I heard that fellow had now

gone to Pyeongyang.

But coincidentally,

someone who knows the identity

of that bastard is here now.

Is Kim In Hong present here?

What do you think you're

doing now?

I'm just confirming.

Look closely. Is there a man

here called Kim In Hong?

Dou Ba Tai.

Please stop!

I really don't wish to see a

woman die in front of me.

I really don't wish to see a

woman die in front of me.

You must know this b*tch

very well.

If you plan to remain silent

until the end, then...

Hurry and answer the question.

Tell him!

First, don't you need to

stay alive?

Quickly, go ahead and tell him.

That person...

Kim In Hong...

They're here.

Kim In Hong is here.

That man is Kim In Hong!

Get Kim In Hong! Catch him!

Capture Kim In Hong!

How could I be Kim In Hong?

Let's complete this transaction.

Wait. I can't just leave like this.

Women who are suffering,

should not be abandoned

without taking action.

That's just how Kim In Hong is.

Go after him!

Catch him!

Kim In Hong!

Kim In Hong!

Catch him!

Go faster!

Yes!

Look over there!

His Majesty has arrived.

Pay your respects!

Common people are prohibited

from this part of the Daedong

River!

Hereafter, all of the gold

unearthed from this place,

will belong to the treasury.

Excellency.

Quickly hand over the deed to

this river property.

What are you doing?

Didn't you hear me?

What do you think you're

doing?

Hand it over?

I am not going to be so easily

bullied by Your Majesty.

Excellency!

This river is mine.

If the law will not permit it,

I will change the law.

From now on, the one with the

power in this country will not

be you.

I will have the money.

The one who was able to negotiate

with the barbarians and win was

not Your Majesty.

It was me, Prince of the Far

East... Song Dae Ryeon.

Just now you said money can

control this country?

This thing, money, has no shame.

There is no shame in the world.

Because of your filthy greed,

how many more people will

have to die?

I will also not remain silent.

The people should have a king

from outside the royal lineage

instead of one who is useless.

Those words you just said...

amount to treason.

Plotting treason?

You really do know how to

gamble dangerously.

You should remember.

There's only one bullet left

in that gun.

If your treasonous plot is

a failure,

you must know the consequences

better than I.

Are you willing to die for the

sake of His Majesty?

I still had the life I earned.

It's really too bad for those eyes.

You eventually had to pull

the trigger.

The person who invited His

Majesty to come here,

was none other than me.

Scholars who passed the state

exam have come to the palace,

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty,

do you want to bring down

Song Dae Ryeon?

-=Dynasty Records=-

Please Your Majesty, switch the

historical documents.

I knew that if it were you,

I could count on you to aim at

His Majesty and pull the trigger.

All of this,

was a bullet prepared especially

for you.

We're selling the Daedong River.

Daedong River?

How?

We just have to put out some

bait that he can't resist.

No! All of the gold!

The gold!

How is it?

This is our sister-in-law's

masterpiece.

We will change the flow of the

river.

You'll have to stay out.

Your Majesty, please leave
