Transportation wizard,

Kim Chul-joo

Here how the king's tomb

of China was robbed?

They opened the king's tomb,

and everything was stolen.

The culprit was tomb raider,

Hong Suk-chang.

He can be trusted

because he studied in China.

Tomb raiding expert, Hong Suk-chang

Fine, then I just supply

the money and the icehouse.

If something goes wrong by chance,

then I don't know a thing.

It was very hard to get where I am now.

Okay.

Alright, I will supply the money.

It means that 'all will go well'.

It's a Western word.

How?

Moneyman, Jang Soo-kyun

It's not me.

I said it wasn't me!

It was you!

What?

It was you!

You're quite loud.

Please shut up.

My name is Sul-wha.

My name is Nani.

Who are you?

Mr. Jang told me to come.

Is this the right room?

Ah, it's you.

Please have a seat.

Wait, I didn't hear anything about a woman.

Hold on.

I have three principles.

One is never work with a woman.

I'm not doing this.

Hong Suk-chang.

Majored in archeology in China.

Age, 43.

Wanted by the Chinese

government for raiding tombs.

Oh, dear.

You better be careful.

What?

You were a criminal?

Suk Dae-hyun, age 40.

Ex-weapons manufacturer,

Fired for igniting explosives

in front of the Vice Premier.

But actually, was fired

for burning down a brothel

after showing a girl fireworks.

A widow lost her golden hairpin,

a prize for her chastity.

Wonder who took it?

Shall we say more?

Information specialist, Sul-wha

Nani

That's enough.

Let's get to the main issue.

So what shall we do?

The King's grandson celebrates

his birthday in two months.

It's his first feast

after being granted power.

So it will be grand.

It's midsummer, so they'll need

at least 1,500 tons of ice.

We'll steal all the ice from

the Cho family and the ice dealers.

And put pressure on Lord Cho,

who is in charge of the event.

We will return the ice

in exchange for money.

What?

We will request 500, 000 n yang,

his entire asset.

500,000 nyang?

Lord Cho will forced

to hand over 500,000 nyang.

If he doesn't want

his son to be exiled.

When we get the money,

instead of the ice...

Where is the ice?

We will present

his secret accounting book.

Then Lord Cho will lose his money,

his post, and never return.

And all of you will disappear like

the wind after you get your money.

Wait, wait. Secret accounting book?

That wasn't mentioned before.

What is it? Where is it?

The book entails all the money

and ice he shared with officials.

The book should be in Lord Cho's house.

I heard that armed soldiers

are closely guarding his home.

Who will steal the book?

Jae-jun will be in charge of the book.

Who are you?

It's me.

I couldn't recognize him.

Dae-hyun,

please make some silent explosives.

Alright.

So how will we split 500,000 nyang?

After we split it accordingly...

We will offer our share to you all.

What? Me?

When did I ever...

Are you doing this job because of money?

No, that's not why, but...

Forget it.

Now let's have a drink.

First, Suk-chang finds the right

building where we can work in.

We'll need a big place

to fit all of us.

There's a charcoal pit.

Maybe it's spooked, but no one comes out alive.

It's completely abandoned.

What do you think?

Here.

Now, shall we start?

We'll dig until the night

before the birthday feast.

And steal all 2,230 tons

of ice remaining in Seokbinggo.

But how will we move all that dirt?

We'll get found out easily.

We will build burial mounds.

Disguise it as a spreading plague.

Will people believe it?

Nani will take care of that.

Hear about the plague spreading near Seokbinggo?

- Plague?

- Plague?

Graves are spreading.

It's very dangerous there.

You'll catch the disease.

Hurry and go tell your parents.

Sul-wha will keep a close eye

on the Cho family.

Come on.

"How much do I have to give you?"

"I got 1,000 nyang ready."

Thief.

Is this that explosive?

The one that doesn't make a sound?

No, it's just gunpowder.

You'll need to make the explosive now.

Make it? Who?

Who else? You.

Me?

Oh, you wanted me to make it.

Alright.

Just fart here.

Did you hear it?

This is a cave. It resonates.

What about the smell?

What is it?

Hand...

Dong-soo.

Bodies tend to pop out when you dig.

If you don't do this, it's bad luck.

So hurry and do the same.

Lord Cho, we made this great statue

of a flying Phoenix

as a symbol of future success.

If it was that easy,

I would've cracked

the whole frozen river already.

No, this phoenix is a mystical creature that

traditionally symbolizes a king.

Daekoon, our royal highness

must take this statue.

Am I not right, Your Highness?

Your Highness?

Thank you.

I will never forget you if take the crown.

You must do just that.

Defense Minister.

So have you picked up any news?

The problem is that Yi San is so clean...

Don't let your guards down!

Forgot how Prince Sado's

ten illicit deeds were made?

None of you have an imagination?

Forgive me, my Lord.

How old is the King this year?

If the King dies and Yi San

is enthroned, then we are done for!

There is only one way to solve this.

All of you get ready.

This is that very explosive...

My newest invention

you've all been waiting for...

The silent explosive!

What was that?

Call that a silent explosive?

It scared the wits out of me.

We can't keep this up.

Mr. Suk, go work somewhere else.

Alright.

What are you doing?

Can't you shovel anymore?

Go easy, Brother-in-law.

No "easy" in my book.

And stop calling me that!

I'll stack them high,

Brother-in-law!

Patrolmen are here!

Move a little...

I heard a voice somewhere.

Don't.

Don't.

It was a cat.

I hate that sound the most.

This is that neighborhood

infested with a plague.

Plague?

Didn't you hear?

Look at the graves.

Let's get out of here!

You're right.

Wait for me!

They left, so come on out.

Come on. Hurry up.

You all go first.

I have something to think about.

What did you two do in here?

What are you getting at?

You never know just by people's appearance.

Please concentrate on your work,

Brother-in-law.

I didn't know you were this kind of person.

Oh boy.

I'm telling you.

This is room five and this is room six.

This doesn't make any sense.

No, I'm right.

I went in there every day for three years.

No!

It's different inside the tunnel!

Digging this tunnel...

What would you two know?

I wish we had an actual map of the place.

Something like a blueprint?

That's exactly right.

How will you steal it when it's in the palace?

A brave ex-palace guard

who knows the place well

and has amazing fighting skills

should infiltrate the palace, right?

An ex-palace guard.

We can't do anything without that blueprint.

Who's there!

This way! Find him!

Who goes there?

This way! Over here!

What is it? Did you see him?

What's going on?

This girl smiles brightly.

I see why she's Lord Cho's mistress.

She was like a child and so pure.

Then suddenly...

My hand goes down the buttocks...

Speak up!
