Eighteen years a damo at the Left Police Bureau. These hands have searched other men's private rooms.

Eighteen years a damo taught me one thing: stand behind the one who's smiling. The back is the most honest part of a man.

MaehongThe investigating officer would be hurt to hear that.
MaksunThat's exactly why I said it. So he'd hear it.
JeongheonIt isn't in the rules for a bondswoman to stand behind an officer either.
MaksunConstable, it's not in the rules for a damo to search another man's inner chamber either. So why do you keep sending me to do it?

A straw mat is the whole courthouse here. Even so, even a nobleman lies down straight on it.

GombaeI lay the mat out.
MaksunRight, and the day it's crooked is the day you've been drinking.
DeokgaeSister, I saw a silver ring rolling under that mat yesterday. Whose is that, then?
JeongheonAnything belonging to the tribunal goes to the tribunal. If it stays in a body-washer's hand, that's twenty strokes of the cane, same day.
DeokgaeThen I never saw it. One of my eyes doesn't work anyway.

Left elsewhere

Oh, sir, and the hands that tried to cover her with hemp cloth first, why didn't you write those down? I'd have put that in the report too.

That room every man backed away from, that's our territory. We're the only ones who know when the brazier went cold, too.

Child, I'd know even without the name written. Don't shake, just add two more don.

That straw shoe is new. A bondswoman's feet don't wear them down like that, sir.
