Scholar Ahn informs Commander Jo about General Jung's suicide. The King receives the General's last letter, which was written with his blood. The King is very upset, as he considers the General as one of his most loyal to him. Commander Jo and Yoon are captured and placed in a jail. Chae-Ok sees Yoon being taken away. Chae-Ok blames herself for the capture of Yoon and Commander Jo.
Jo Chi-Oh visits his father in the jail. Commander Jo tells his son not to do anything, and just focus on his work. Jo Chi-Oh persuades him to let him find a way to save his father, but Commander Jo ordered him to leave. Jo Chi Oh bows to his father and says that when his father is released, he would like for him to live with his family (wife and child).
At the police station, Jo Chi-Oh begins to prepare to raid the rebel mountain camp. He goes to Chae-Ok's room, and orders Chae-Ok to snap out of her misery.
Upon arriving at the rebel camp, Chae-Ok volunteers to go first to check out the situation. She finds the camp empty, and stops in front of Sung-Baek's room. Sung-Baek, still inside his room, invites Chae-Ok in. Chae-Ok tells him she plans to kill him, and she is a damo. Sung-Baek reminder her that he told her to forget the past. He was just waiting for her to return, so they can go together. Chae-Ok draws her sword and points it at Sung-Baek. Sung-Baek provokes Chae-Ok to kill him. They fight, and Sung-Baek gained the upperhand. Sung-Baek told her that he really wished to live with her together for a long time. He is just a citizen, who wants to make the world liveable.If they meet again, he hopes that they will meet in a world where they don't have to point swords at each other. He leaves, but Won-Hae and his men are waiting outside. Sung-Baek manages to escape.
Chae-Ok comes out of the room and informs them that the camp is empty. Jo Chi-Oh arrives and learns of the situation, and orders his men to go after the rebel's trails. While the other police men are searching for the rebels, Chae-Ok, Won-Hae and Baek Jo-Wan look for Ma Chook Ji. He found him tied up with firecrackers in the forge. They managed to save him, but Ma Chook Ji is so scared, that his mind doesn't seem to be in the right place. The other police men fall into the traps that the rebels made. Jo Chi-Oh's team search for the rebels in the river, where a trap was also laid out for them. Just as when Jo Chi-Oh was the only last man standing, the other rebels appear. Jo Chi-Oh and Sung-Baek exchange swords. Chae-Ok, Won-Hae and Baek Jo-Wan was aghast to find dead bodies of the police everywhere. They see Jo-Chi Oh fighting with Sung-Baek. Won-Hae was so angry he wants to come down and kill the rebels, but knowing this is a futile attempt, Chae-Ok knocks him unconscious. She and Baek Jo-Wan saw Sung-Baek kill Jo Chi-Oh.
At the capital, the families of the deceased weep at the funeral. Commander Jo, probably given permission to attend the funeral, arrive there bound with police escort. Commander Jo apoligized to everyone, saying it was his sons fault for risking the lives of so many police/soldiers. Lady Nan-Hee and Jo Chi-Oh's wife was very upset at his words. As Commander Jo leaves, Lady Nan-Hee confronts him and tells him how could he say that infront of his daugher in law and grandson. Commander Jo says that although Jo Chi-Oh was his son, he was also a general responsible for the lives of many. As Commander Jo starts to walk away, he silently apoligizes to his son, and promises that when they meet again, he will treat him as his son foremost. Then he collapsed.
Outside a high official's residence, Chae-Ok begs for an audience so the General can spare Yoon and Commander Jo's lives. Chae-Ok was shooed away. Lady Nan-Hee saw her and comforts Chae-Ok. Chae-Ok has not given up hope, and sends a letter to Yoon via the boy who delivers food to prison, to tell Yoon that he'll find a way to save him. Yoon relayed a message, to tell Chae-Ok to stop trying. Chae-Ok weeps as she heard the message. Chae-Ok tells (a seemingly okay) Ma Chook Ji and Ta Bak Nyu to leave and pursue a new life. Apparently, Yoon has lifted their slave status and are now commoners. They weep with gratitude. Chae-Ok asks Won-Hae and Baek Jo-Wan how can she meet with the King.
