San (actor Lee Seo-jin) is flabbergasted when he is shown an official permit that was signed in his name with handwriting that is nearly identical to his. The ministers bicker amongst each other in King Young-jo’s presence to debate San’s fault in signing such a permit. The painters and calligraphist are given the task of verifying whether the handwriting on the permit is actually San’s. Jung Hoo-gyeom (actor Jo yeon-woo) finds it odd that San would deploy royal troops to capture the Gakjung bandits and orders Oh Jung-ho to look into the matter.
Meanwhile, Nam Sa-cho (actor Maeng Sang-hoon), Dae-soo (actor Lee Jong- soo), and Dal-ho (actor Lee Hee-do) inspect the hideout of the Gakjung bandits and get worried about Song-yeon (actress Han Ji-min) who hasn’t been found for days. While discussing ways to find Song-yeon, they post wanted posters around the village and when the bandits converge around the posters, Dal-ho gets perplexed. When Nam Sa-cho reports to San that they haven’t found Song-yeon yet, San gets grim and orders Nam Sa-cho to continue the search.
Locked in a warehouse, Song-yeon gets afraid when she sees other kidnapped girls sent to brothels and tries to find a way to run away. When Lee Chun (actor Ji Sang-ryeol) comes by to meet Chun Hwa-nam, Song-yeon yells out to him to save her but Lee Chun doesn’t hear her cries and leaves. Song-yeon runs away but gets caught...
