is your home, you know.

Don't move!

What? "Don't move"?

Hello.

Sir, we're closed for today.

Search through everything.

Search?

What?

Here it is!

Charged for distributing books

that defame the King's grandson.

You two are found to be traitors!

Traitors?

I told you that book isn't mine!

I have a bad feeling about this.

A bad feeling about what?

We're innocent.

Stop where you are!

Who are you?

Why are you doing this?

Ice captain!

Don't move!

Run!

Help!

Help me!

No!

No!

What are you doing here?

He didn't check the ice.

and the miners died.

Somebody broke the ice intentionally.

Who?

I couldn't see his face.

I'm telling the truth!

Oh boy.

These two say that the book isn't theirs.

You claim that somebody broke the ice.

What the hell is going on?

The special guard of the icehouse.

What are you doing in a filthy place like this?

I'm just saying hello.

Du k-moo.

Father.

Which book was it?

The son of a criminal unfit to become a king.

Where did you get that book?

I don't know anything about it.

Mr. Yang doesn't know, either.

We're really innocent.

I understand.

Are you hurt anywhere?

No, father.

It's not my book!

You must've been in a hurry

to visit this late in the night.

Let's end things here.

I need to hear your conditions first.

Considering that his crime is treason.

Mr. Yang!

Mr. Yang! Wake up!

Damn it...

Can't go to the Netherlands...

Mr. Yang! Mr. Yang!

Father.

Father!

Father!

Father!

How did this happen to you?

Stop!

He is charged for threatening

the ice businesses for money.

What?

Father, is this why I was freed?

That's enough.

It's time to step back for now.

This is my last loyal duty

for the future of the King's grandson.

Just tell me one thing.

Who did this to you?

Who the hell are they?

Step away!

Father! Father!

Father.

Mr. Yang.

Please take good care of my Duk-moo.

They say that a wise man respects

his teachers, befriends his companions,

and despises his enemies.

Mr. Yang, I've always thought of you

as Duk-moo's teacher and my friend.

Although I'm very thankful,

I've not been able to visit often.

As a small token of my gratitude,

please accept this gift.

I've tried it and it's quite useful

when you read a book at night.

Nice scenery.

Long time no see.

You think we met by chance

in prison that day, my friend?

I'm not your friend.

I learned that we're the same age.

So let's talk like friends.

He's the one that talked down to me at first.

Where are you going?

I bet you don't know why you

were exiled like this.

I'm free in a month, so I'll know

when I find that assassin.

Come on.

It's not that simple.

Come out of there!

Let me ask you a question.

How much ice can fit

into Seokbinggo?

About 10,000 tons worth.

Why do you ask?

Wow.

You surely were the special guard of Seokbinggo.

So here's my question.

Is all that ice enough for the capital city?

It's not enough.

Not enough at all!

All the fish and meat stores

in the capital demand ice.

And many other places.

So that's why the ice business

was privatized.

That's right.

So noblemen with money and power

took over the ice business.

But he showed up after your accident.

Who?

Cho Young-chul.

Lord Cho's nephew, the ice trader?

Yes, that sniffer went to

the Protocol Office and said...

Only the government has to dig out ice?

Didn't people die last time

because it wasn't managed well?

And he makes his proposal.

We shall supply the ice used by

the government at a cheap price.

On one condition.

Give us the exclusive right.

That's how Cho Young-chul and the ice

dealers got their exclusive deal.

And others were excluded

from the ice business.

So the 10,000 tons of ice

that goes into Seokbinggo

must be bought from

Cho Young-chul and the ice dealers.

But who determines the price?

Whoever controls the icehouses.

That very person is

Lord Cho Myung-soo's son.

Cho Sang-jin.

One determines the market price.

The other the government's price.

The Cho family is taking over

all the ice in the capital city.

On top of that,

they're embezzling tons of ice.

Ice for patients.

and even the ice for the prisoners

are swindled to make

the Cho family richer.

So if you're not powerful or rich,

You won't see any ice.

It doesn't make sense.

But how is this possible?

This is where we come in.

How?

Cho Myung-soo.

Our mutual enemy.

You, who was against forced ice labor,

was in their way.

They used you to claim

exclusive rights over the ice.

You can't resolve this like that.

It won't change anything.

If Lord Cho dies,

someone else will take his place.

And things won't change.

Then what?

Go to the root of the problem.

And get rid of them all.

Brother!

She's your sister?

What are you looking at?

Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!

I've been waiting to say something to her.

That's enough! Now leave!

Please tell me her name at least.

Her name is Baek Su-ryun.

Satisfied?

Ah, I see.

Su-ryun...

Su-ryun...

Maiden Su-ryun!

Then promise me one thing.

What is it?

You'll listen to my plan after you're freed.

Okay, now leave!

How rude of you not to even

invite a guest to dinner.

I said leave!

Okay, I'm going.

But I love seafood, too.

Will the maiden accompany you a month later?

Go!

That damn temper...

What about your guest?

Don't worry about him.

Let's just eat.

He looks familiar.

One month later

Oh, my Su-ryun.

Maiden, you shouldn't do this.

You're too haste.

I love you, too.

Of course, how can she...

It's you.

Is this your plan?

Promise me three things.

One.

No innocent person will get hurt by this.

Two, you will not touch the country's assets.

Three.

I promise, Brother-in-law.

Three, I call the shots.

But you understood my plan

just by looking at that?

Will you promise?

I promise, but my plan is...

Steal the Seokbinggo ice,

make a deal with Lord Cho,

and find his secret account book

to take him down.

How did you know?

Let's go meet the moneyman.

Move it.

What are you waiting for?

Get dressed and move it!

Yes, sir!

If you get caught doing this, you'll all die!

Like I said, we're not stealing the ice.

We're briefly storing it in your icehouse.

Don't you want to avenge Lord Cho?

Damn it.

How are you going to steal

all that ice in Seokbinggo?

That's why we need experts.

Experts?

Like Who? Him?

First, we need an explosives expert.

Our country's defenses...

Nobody in this country can handle

explosives better than him.

Now, I will display mines!

- No!

- No!

His only drawback.

A slight hearing problem.

Explosives expert, Suk Dae-hyun

House of Chaste Woman

You can't do this.

What's this?

Do we need a sex expert?

No.

A con expert at disguise

and pick-pocketing.

He's talented in disguising himself.

No one knows

what he really looks like.

Camouflage and Con Artist,

Kim Jae-jun

But how will you move all that ice?

There's a special cargo transporter,

who's perfect for this.

To be honest,

I'm a little scared of him.
