Please don't do this!

I am a married woman, my lord.

- Please don't do this...

- Shut up and stop moving.

No, please - ahh!

That bastard...

Are you out of your mind?!

- He's an inspector from the government!

- Get out of my way!

I'm telling you, you musn't!

So I'm supposed to stay put and let it happen?

Please! If you try to interrupt, you'll just get us all killed.

Please let it go, just this once, for our sake!

Wow, it smells amazing.

You have to flip it now -

No, go away, go away!

You've never even had meat, have you? You don't know anything about it.

Jinhyung!

Hey, Jinhyung! You haven't had dinner yet, have you?

Hey, you brat.

We're eating chicken for dinner today, you brat.

Look, we're boiling the meat right now! We're going to have a feast...

What's happened to him?

Eat up.

Where did you get the money to buy this?

Oh, you remember the people who were here earlier?

We bought it with the money they paid for the brushes.

All the brushes were still there, uncle.

Have you started fortune-telling again?

What? Of course not, what do you mean?

Alright, I admit it. They begged me, so I didn't have a choice.

Why? What's your problem?

Didn't you promise me you'd never start doing it again?

How could you do such a thing as a scholar?

Then what am I supposed to do? Study for the entrance exam? Enter the government?

Couldn't you?

What, are you seriously asking?

Who would allow the descendant of a traitor to take up a public office, hmm?

You've been studying, haven't you? I've seen the books in your room.

Even if you go take the exam, don't ever think about going into politics.

You have the face of your grandfather; something horrible will happen to you if you ever enter the world of politics.

No. I will enter the government.

I can't live like this forever.

Even if I end up getting my head cut off like my grandfather, I refuse to live like this.

How dare you say that?

Put that drink down, you brat!

I'm not a child any more. I'm already past seventeen!

Hey, Jinhyung, don't go... Finish your food first...

You know he drinks with me every now and then.

What a frustrating -

What possessed you to say something like that to him?

Otherwise he would never be able to let go of that hope.

Well, I'll be damned...

Remember when you were immature and chasing around merchants all the time?

I spent days drinking myself into a stupor.

And when I tried to commit suicide by hanging myself,

why, I saw that boy looking right at me and crying his heart out.

He was maybe about 5 years old.

There was nothing left of the kid but skin and bones, and I guess he was hungry

because he was crying "Father, father, save me."
