Hawi asks Marno, the sulfur mine owner, to let Hong Joo Won meet Idachi, a business magnate and sulfur smuggler. He knows Hawi tries to run away to Joseon, but he decides to help the slave who have played a large role for his business until now. Eventually, Joo Won and Jeong Myeong close a business deal with the wealthy merchant. Gwang Hae runs at full speed along the narrow mountain path in the middle of the night. A group of volunteers swear allegiance to the King who asks them to undertake an highly dangerous mission. Hawi leads Joo Won and other guards to a ferry for the traffic in sulfur. But they are caught in the act of the illicit traffic. She takes Joo Won hostage threatening him with a knife, "I will take your blame on myself. Tell them you also sucked in by me. You will be fine because you are Joseon delegation. You have to save me because I have to go to the country." She throws the knife away.
