[Part 4] Joseon Gunman Episode 13 Recap The next day, Yoon-kang and Choi Won-shin are brought back for more testimony and interrogation. Yoon-kang warns Choi that the truth will come out soon, only to have Choi return, “The victor’s words become the truth. You’ll learn that.” Yoon-kang testifies with the full truth, down to Lord Kim Jwa-young being the mastermind and Choi Won-shin confessing this all to him previously. Choi naturally denies this, and then Hye-won is admitted as witness. Everyone holds their breaths in anticipation to hear how she will answer. She chooses her father, saying that the accusations are all false, and that all he did was beg for his life. It was Yoon-kang who wielded a gun and made threats, she states. Asked why he threatened them, she answers that she doesn’t know because he has never shown his true self to her, having presented himself as Hanjo. Hye-won leaves the court and finds Soo-in waiting anxiously outside. “I’m sorry,” she says. “Now Yoon-kang has become someone that neither of us can have.” Next, Yoon-kang argues that his father’s crime was fabricated, and presents the two witnesses. The forger confesses, and names Choi Won-shin as the man who gave him the order. The officer is next, and he hesitates longer before giving his testimony—contradicting what was just said. Our good guys look stunned, while Min Yeong-ik hangs his head and thinks back to the previous night, when Minister Kim had sought him out. And when he had been threatened with his own bribe-taking, he had caved. He’d allowed Minister Kim to meet with the witness in advance, thus giving him ample opportunity to sway him back to his side. This throws the court into confusion, with the forger protesting that he’s telling the truth, and the officer declaring that he’s just a scammer who’s not to be trusted. Gojong orders both witnesses held and interrogated under torture, as one of the two is lying. But Minister Kim protests with crafty logic, saying that Park Jin-han was already found guilty of a capital crime, and to deny it now would be tantamount to him denying past truths. Gojong insists that he’s simply looking for the truth, but Minister Kim argues that he was sent into exile for the exact thing that the king now proposes to do. It’s quite a neat way to force the king to close the case now, once and for all. Yoon-kang begs the king not to close the case, needing to clear his father’s name, knowing that ending things here would make that impossible. He insists, “Your Highness, my father died fighting for you. He fell while doing nothing other than acting out of loyalty to you! I beg you, please do not abandon him. Please reveal the truth!” Gojong is caught between what he knows to be right and the pressure he’s under. He looks to his side, all silent, who seem to be saying that he must cede to Minister Kim’s entreaties. Gojong rises and declares feebly that he will close the case, and declares Choi Won-shin innocent from lack of evidence. And Park Yoon-kang, still technically a capital criminal himself (for being a traitor’s son), is ordered executed. source: dramabeans
