Kids could do such a thing.

Hey, you're also a kid, you know.

And cook it in a big fire.

I should've just stayed tied up.

Wow, what is it?

Dragon fire.

My friends.

I made an ice wagon for you.

Take good care of it.

Would have been nice

if Dong-soo was here.

I made it!

Dae-hyun!

I did it!

What happened to your eyebrows?

It got burned a little.

Don't worry. It'll be okay.

The explosives are done now.

Would've been nice

if Dong-soo was here.

Despite his mouth, he was

really good at shoveling, though.

Where did he go?

He left because we fought

over the gold, remember?

Oh yeah, you're right.

Tell him to come back.

Shall I?

- Yes!

- Yes!

Who's that?

Don't move!

Are you Baek Dong-soo?

Is money more important to you

than people's lives?

Just as people's class and spending

are different,

there is honor in money as well.

I don't know who died because of what money,

but that money was probably used

honorably for the country.

You put this country to shame.

You're very emotional.

Get rid of him.

- Yes, sir!

- Yes, sir!

Stay where you are!

This is a western medicine

mixed with peppers, cigarette foliage and stuff.

It's the best for wounds.

Well, you do get sleepy from it.

Brother-in-law,

I need to paste this on you.

Forget it. I don't need your help.

Wait, don't go. Let's talk.

I have nothing more to say to you.

You dummy!

Do things look that simple to you?

Will killing him solve everything?

I told you not to interfere.

My men have died in the frozen river.

But I got involved in this nonsense

despite my principles.

But you want to steal the gold

owned by the royal family?

What difference are you from street hoodlums?

We can't just ignore the fact that there's gold.

But that doesn't make us bad people.

That gold brings hope for everyone.

Don't sell out innocent people

to satisfy your greed.

Fine, but you need to know one thing.

After this job, it's highly likely

that room will be revealed.

Then we end up putting wings

on the phoenix for Lord Cho.

Dong-soo, please trust me

just this once.

Father!

Not only have you been banished,

but now you manage the beacon.

It's hard work for even young men.

Don't worry.

I feel relieved if I can do

any work for the country.

- Father.

- Duk-moo.

I see that you have a lot on your mind.

Just do what you believe is right.

Trust yourself and the people who follow you.

If there is trust, the world will change.

Where is it?

It was in here for sure.

Again?

What?

If I don't be careful below the ice,

this will all fall apart.

- It's hard to pinpoint.

- But you have the blueprint.

Damn it, does the blueprint

show exactly where the ice is?

Forget it. I have to do it by feel.

Stop!

Or else, we'll be smothered.

Dong-soo!

It looks delicious!

We're only having one bowl.

No complaining.

Okay, okay.

Have some.

Jae-jun, say hi if you're here.

It's not him.

Who?

The King has passed away.

The King, please return.

The King, please return.

The King, please return.

Grandfather...

Lord Cho.

Lord Cho.

Yi San will be enthroned as king.

What shall we do?

There's no alternative plan.

He'll be enthroned in five days.

Then we will have to make an alternative plan.

We will change the plan.

4 days until the ceremony

In exactly four days,

on the night before the ceremony,

we will take all the ice and gold.

- Four days?

- Come on.

How will we move all that ice in four days?

Chul-joo, is that possible?

We don't need to move all of it.

We'll just leave 745 tons

of ice for the ceremony.

Chul-joo, is that possible?

The rest we will use water to take out.

- Water?

- Water?

Remember that water canal at the tavern?

The bulky ice floats on top of the water.

Dig half a mile towards Yongsan district,

and there's a water vein.

We connect with the water vein,

and take the remaining ice to the ferry.

Take out?

So you're going to throw them away?

Dong-soo, are you okay with that?

We release the ice to the people

at the ceremony.

There will be many people at the ferry

to watch the fireworks.

As originally planned,

its use will be no different.

But can we make a waterway in time?

If it's done that way, it's possible.

But take out 1,500 tons of ice at once?

We lay down the ice through explosives.

Okay.

While people's attention are on the ferry,

we'll take the gold from the secret room.

Wait, wait.

Who will sever the water vein?

You, of course.

Isn't your job digging the cave?

You'll need a lot of water pressure

to float that ice.

Of course.

And the cave needs to be filled with water.

Of course.

But...

I can't swim.

- Damn it.

- Oh, come on.

When I dug out the King's grave in China,

the sewer underneath exploded

and I had almost died.

Remember my three principles?

The second one is not going into water.

You think that makes any sense now?

Can you hold your breath underwater

for five minutes?

You sure can't.

Can the rest of you?

Then I will bring in a professional.

Now who?

How can I help?

Queen of Diving, Baek Su-ryun

How was I?

Perfect.

You were amazing.

Really? What a relief.

Here, this is to keep you warm.

Thank you.

It's a 'shining night jewel'.

This will brighten things underwater.

It's very pretty.

And precious.

Room six, Seobinggo

Freeze.

Send 600,000 tons of ice

to the ceremonial feast.

Release 745 tons of ice into the streets

for the people to celebrate

Yi San's enthronement.

Send the ice to the feast,

but not to the streets.

Sir?

I said don't do it. We don't need to.

Oh, it's hot.

I'm taking a nap for an hour.

So wake me up then.

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

Do they think ice is for free or something?

Move!

2 days until the ceremony

Stop!

It's the water vein.

If we take this out, the water vein will burst.

We've stuck the water vein,

Now dig towards the ferry.

Let's go.

Hurry.

Digging is in his blood.

Where the hell did he hide it?

It's driving me crazy.

No, it's surely in here somewhere.

Start again from the beginning.

No matter where you hide it,

it's destined to be found.

How much more do we need to dig?

About 400 feet more

to pierce a waterway to the ferry.

Oh boy.

Will we finish digging by midnight tomorrow?

Don't worry. Who am I, huh?

Legendary tomb raider

of the King's grave in China...

Hong Suk-chang.

It might be too cold underwater

so I got her a diving suit.

An expensive suit made out of

sable leather that's waterproof.

Thank you.

It's the least I can do

for my sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law?

I got it.

6 hours until the ceremony

Sir...

Do you know Horse-poo,

the new slave who came in?

Oh, yeah.

But why do you ask?

He's been snooping around Lord Cho's quarters.

I felt that something was weird.

So I followed him once.

The place that's been

infected by a plague?

It supposedly was,

but it isn't true.

The burial mounds were a disguise.

Inside...

I think they've discovered

some treasure in Seobinggo.

Is it almost done?

I think we'll be finished by midnight.
