Ep 18. Iljimae 18

Iljimae sets Lord Byun and Eun Chae free, after he finds out that everyone involved in the murder of his father are now dead. Of course, he doesn't know that Lord Byun lied to him and the king is also implicated in the murder. He finds Bong Soon underneath the cherry blossom tree and remembers her from his past. Bong Soon digs up the box Yong had buried, with his Iljimae disguise, and knows Yong is Iljimae. After many men have been forcefully dragged to enroll as volunteers to the army to be sent to Chung, Iljimae warns the palace that he will rob them. Meanwhile, Cheon finds out that Eun Chae had something to do with Iljimae and takes her as a hostage to find him and kill him. With a little help from Shi Hoo, they both escape and run away to Iljimae's safehouse.
