Tae Eul visited the hospital to get any information about the fake body of Lee Lim, who died in 1995. But the manager advised the records are all gone as they changed the system. Shin Jae bailed out her mother from jail and took her to a good restaurant for dinner.
King Gon chose to eat the beef stew famous around Seoul. He met
with the gang, who he fought with Tae Eul and Shin Jae. He brought along Eun-Sup, who was dressed up like Jo Yeong. He fought alone, but in a few minutes, Jeong arrived dressed and acted like Eun-Sup.
King Gon met Tae Eul as she checked and visited him in his place. She wondered about her fate and choices in life as she meets King Gon. She wanted to embrace the moment with him and express her feelings. Tae-Eul said, "I love you" to King Gon, who was speechless of what he heard.
Jo Yeong went out in the daylight and met Na Ri. She looked at him and came to believe that he was Eun-Sup. He came to meet people who have the same identity back in Corea.
Shin Jae's mother has the same identity back in Corea. She is known as Park Sook Jin, one of the palace staff who is the spy and serves Lee Lim. Pictures of Shin Jae are placed by Lee Lim, in which a lady in Corea comes by to look at.
King Gon and Jo Yeong return to the stew restaurant to eat. The owner saw King Gon and was about to bow his head, recognizing him as His Majesty. King Gon saw his actions and decided to leave the place. He advised Yeong to capture the man as he believed he's originally from Corea.
Later at night, as the stew shop is closed, the man opened his car, but Yeong hit him first. He took him to one of the empty buildings. King Gon took his phone and concluded that he was one of the armed men who joined Lee Lim the night they killed his father. King Gon paid Na Ri to use his building to place the man they captured. Tae Eul arrived and informed him about the identical person of Lee Lim and his family. They planned to visit the house and the wife - Song Jung Hye - to ask questions of her late husband.
Shin Jae visited the tomb of the child who looks like King Gon. Song Jung Hye came and was puzzled to see Shin Jae looking at her son's picture.
Eun-Sup ended his shift at the station. He wore a Jo Yeong's jacket to work and found his phone in one of the pockets. Eun-Sup opened the phone and saw Yeong and King Gon's picture set as wallpaper. Shin Jae saw and took the phone from Eun-Sup. He asked where King Gon's whereabouts and Eun-Sup told him about the place King Gon stays.
Shin Jae went to the hotel and entered King Gon's room. He found Lee Lim's death certificate and saw the emblem of the Kingdom. Jo Yeong fought him as an intruder, and as they duel, King Gon arrived and saw Shin Jae. He asked what his business was, and Shin Jae recognized him as Lee Gon.
