(Episode 6)
Oh my gosh!
There were so many guards
How is it?
Very intense. We can't freely search everywhere
We still haven't figured out where the forge is yet
With more than several hundred soldiers
they're not just an ordinary gang
I know...
They even have a cavalry
They're not just fooling around
They could topple a small village
in the time it takes to finish a meal
How can they have so many followers?
They must be waiting impatiently back in Hansung
On the way up, I made a mark on a tree
And these are the guard patrol routes I saw in the afternoon
Tomorrow they will show us around the camp
and I will locate the forge
OK
But don't be too hasty
Move only when you're certain
You call that advice?
If I find something while searching
I won't even be as fortunate as a dog hunting through scraps
I didn't say it to keep you alive, idiot
Hey! What?
Don't worry
We'll move with caution
Oh... Is my wife doing well?
If she flirts with some other men
while I'm gone, I'll give her hell. Tell her...
- Ouch! - Just worry about yourself
Let's eat ourselves to death!
Hey, innkeeper!
Are they the only guests? What are we?
What's the matter?
I thought things would have changed with a new innkeeper
I guess I'll just have to go... Hold on and calm down
If you're taking drinks
isn't it proper to offer this little lady a seat?
Look at this
How can you run a bar like this alone?
That's why you should bring in some gorgeous widow
Then every time I come here
I'll bring all of my friends with me. OK?
Why don't you just bring your own widow?
Then you can sit her down at this table
and I'll have the owner call her
What?
You're trying to act all powerful tonight
because you think it might not be you
Sister!
I brought some beef to cook
Did you just get here, younger brother?
Is he really your younger brother?
He's not your husband, is he?
Seeing as you don't care about my power
it's no use making a fuss!
How did it go?
There's nothing to worry about
They made it to the mountain camp without any trouble
How many days will it take?
How would I know that?
It depends on when they find the counterfeit coins
Goodness. They have to get out as soon as possible
I'm so worried
You seemed to be having a good time with those bums
If your husband dies...
pick one from among them
My lord!
What's that man doing here so early in the morning?
Officer Baek!
Yes? What is...?
Wear your hat properly!
You should wear your uniform properly
Why that little brat... first thing in the morning...
Dang
Clerk Ahn! Clerk Ahn!
Commander Joh Chi-Oh...
why is he at our Police Bureau?
You didn't see the government report?
He's the succeeding commander
As soon as he arrived, he demanded to see the counterfeit money registry
Oh, my back
Move it, sir!
Dang
Have you been well?
Did you volunteer for this?
My intentions are their intentions
I have experience investigating the counterfeit money case...
and the military command recommended me
I also wanted to lead the initiative...
to stop the counterfeiting which shakes our country's foundation
After being at
your post for so long...
moving to this one can be easily misunderstood
You know that last year
General Uh Yung-Chung accepted a commander's son's bribe
and the two were both removed from office
I will
request a reconsideration...
so watch and be on standby
Father
I too have already mentioned that issue to military command
While I handle this counterfeit money case...
Father... I will think of you as only the Police Chief
and not as anything more
Did you want to raise your merit?
If a commander says he does not want
to raise his merit, he would be lying
Personally, I want to raise my merit
But in a broader sense
it is for the security of the King and people
OK, I'll rely on you
But I also
won't let this get personal
Keep that in mind
I will not disappoint you
Sir
So what's going to happen to us?
Aren't we just like food being fried in oil?
Don't mention it fool
If we're boiled, then that's that
and if we're fried, we put up with it
Why don't I have any good fortune?
At least we won't be boiled to death, huh?
A message. A message
What's that?
Where did a message come from?
You don't need to know, idiot
What? Negligence from government employees?!
And what's that?
Huh?
It's nothing
These days
I keep getting stomach aches...
I was going to the bathroom
I'm sorry, my lord
I want to inspect the soldiers
so tell everyone to gather on the exercise grounds Yes, sir!
Get with it!
When command changes
you have to make a good impression!
You act like a dog or a cow arrived
You guys are out of your minds
Isn't it time for him to die yet?
You said Commander Joh Chi-Oh?
Don't even mention it
Everyone has an expression like they stepped in dung
Is that proper?
He didn't use the Police Chief's influence
and he earned his rank of commander before anyone else
He has that much ability and courage
so follow him carefully
Yes, sir
Oh yeah!
A letter came from Officer Lee
Does this go here?
Or was it like this?
So it is So-Yo mountain in Yeon-chun
It is only a day and a half's ride away
Chae-Ohk and Chuk-Ji infiltrated in without any trouble
and they said they would send
a more detailed plan of the mountain camp later
They shouldn't drag this out too long
Can't we just topple the whole mountain camp
and then search for evidence?
If we do that
it would be like a lizard
who ran away and left his tail
The rebels could not have
made counterfeit coins by themselves
There is definitely someone behind them
The counterfeit molds and transaction registry...
we need to find them for sure
Understood
Please come outside Someone is looking for you
What should I do?
Miss
Is he inside?
Yes
Please ask him
if I may come inside
My lord, the lady has come to...
Let her in
Please go inside
Please sit down
What brings you to this humble cottage?
Please don't take this the wrong way
While I was repairing my father's uniform...
I simply remembered your old worn uniform
The owner of this outfit has already been chosen...
so what use would I have for it?
If you cannot wear it...
then you should give it to someone else
And if not...
then burn it
You were looking for me?
Where the heck did you go?
You said you were going to the bathroom
Oh... well...
My stomach was hurting so badly
that I just got back from seeing a doctor
Are you saying you left without reporting?
Left?
Up to now, if we were sick we all dealt with it ourselves...
I don't care about that
But as long as I'm the commander...
this will not be allowed
If this happens again, I will reduce your salary
Yes, sir
I examined all of the counterfeit money transaction records
The criminal who escaped, Noh Gak-Chool...
We just didn't have any evidence
that he's responsible for the counterfeit money in Hansung
It wasn't absolutely clear
You let a man like that get away...
I am ashamed
Where are Officer Lee and Damo Chae-Ohk?
Huh?
They were sent on an assignment
Where?
Kyung-ki province and... Hwang-hae province
It was Hwang-hae, right?
Why where those two sent? There's a lot...
of work to be done at this Bureau
Tell them to return immediately and send other officers instead
Well...
Without confirmation, we have no way of knowing exactly where they are
Then when are they coming back?!
Fifteen days? Or was it twenty?
That is also... uncertain
What the heck is going on here?
Listen up!
I'm different from Commander Yoon, who was fired
I will make sure I know about every single activity
Keep that in mind
I don't say the same thing twice
From this moment on, you, Officer Lee
and that damo girl...
will no longer be involved in the counterfeit money case
I will assign new investigators
What?
I followed the instructions, but it's still not very sturdy
What is the problem?
I'm not sure
I think there are too many impurities in the iron
I'm considering
re-tempering the impurities away
We will need at least 200 rifles
You must hurry
Yes, sir
Who is responsible for cleaning up the counterfeit coins and molds?
That guy
Hey, see here
I ordered all the counterfeit coins to be melted in molten metal
What's this?
Huh? How could that...
Until I give the command, keep that man imprisoned in a cave
and only give him water and salt to eat!
Yes, sir!
This is our forge
Swords and spears, tools for the villagers
even gardening hoes are all made here
Oh wow, I feel like
I'm back in my hometown
While I'm here, can I do some smithing?
You can't
Why?
Other than our boss and senior brothers
no one else can enter
Why?
Just leave it at that, OK?
Brother!
Why are you here?
I'm showing them around the mountain camp
They said they wanted to go in
but I told them "no"
I was curious how you make counterfeit coins
Counterfeit coins?
Who said we make counterfeit coins here?
I mean...
If not at a forge then where else?
That silly thought just popped into my head
I just want to give it a try, that's all
We don't privately make coins or melt them...
but do you want to see the forge that badly?
Well, not really, but... it would be nice if I could...
Go inside
No, it's OK
It seems like
you're uncomfortable with it
Let's go
Oh yeah
Tidings came from the furnace village earlier
Why are you telling me that now?
I'll go immediately so make the preparations
I won't go
Are you still shielding yourself from people?
Hopeless fool
Where...
is that?
Just tell us
My brother and I will take you all the way. OK?
How far do we have to go up?
This is the first time my legs have hurt from walking
So why did you carelessly butt in?
Good grief
We got this far already
We have to look good to the boss and others
Huh?
And...
why are you talking?
We told them you cannot speak
You have to keep your mouth glued shut
except when you eat
Can't you think straight?
We don't need a corpse...
What is this?!
Stand down
They are my brothers
Who are they?
People sick with leprosy
They guard against any
strangers to protect the villagers
Then are they
the people who hunt and eat babies?
Oh my goodness
Those are all false rumors
Leprosy doesn't spread like a plague
Let's go
I can't go! I can't go!
The more we go, the higher this mountain gets
You have a cold sweat and some nausea, huh?
Yes
Your pulse is not strong on the surface
and I must press deep to find it
That is a symptom of blood problems
Take a small spoonful of these
and boil and drink it three times a day
It isn't ginseng or antlers
but after three days, there will be some results
Thank you
Does your leg hurt?
Two days ago I slipped on a steep road
Oh no, the bone is broken
Come here
Mother! Boy!
If you do not set it now, you will be sitting for your whole life!
Hold the kid steady
Me?
Are you talking to me?
Oh my head
My head's been hurting
Feels like needles are poking it
I'm going to get a little air
Oh my head
I don't want to!
Mother!
I don't want to!
I don't want to, Mother!
Mother!
I don't want to!
Mother...
Your lip is bleeding
You did well
Sir!
Master
He's really taking his time
Why won't he just chug it down quickly?
Geez
In a village like this, how can he even want any alcohol?
He's got a heck of a spleen
Hey... Hey!
What are you thinking about?
I am ashamed
to put a debt like this
on you
How can you say that?
I am indebted to you for a lifetime
If it were not for you how would I be sitting here?
Who are you?
I am Magistrate Jang Il-Soon's, personal bodyguard, Lee Hak-Chul
Jang Il-Soon?
I do not know that man
He has... passed away!
I told him it was useless to go into politics
The world can't be changed with only a few words
I told him that!
Let's go back!
I also do not wish to live in hiding in a place like this!
Lord!
Take him as a student
It was the last request of my lord
This is a place where leprosy patients live
It is not a place where people like you can live
Why are you seeking out death?
He is the son of the man who took me in
and raised me since I had no parents
Are you Jae-Mo?
You've grown a lot
Jae-Hui...
Brother! Brother!
Brother!
She may be alive, right?
She must be alive
If I ever day-dreamed about my younger sister
my teacher would sometimes hit me on the head with his walking stick
Even now, I feel like I can hear my teacher's yelling
He did that purposely
He thought you might get soft and weak
The father who gave me the name Jae-Mo...
and the teacher who gave me the name Sung-Baek...
When I die...
whom will I meet first?
Please have a drink
Please wait just a moment
Please take it
This is...
I meant to return it to you
My father gave it to you
They say it originally came from Master Hwang Hyun-Ki
All of the dreams he did not achieve are stored in this sword
The sword has now found its master
Father
Does someone, who is sincere in everything smell like ink?
If they're sword-bearing rebels, then they should act like rebels
Why are they taking care of people like that?
If they want to help people
they should get rid of their swords
Isn't that right, brother?
Brother!
What are you doing there?
Hurry over here!
Chae-Ohk and Chuk-Ji infiltrated in without any trouble
and they said they would send
a more detailed plan of the mountain camp later
Can't we just topple the whole mountain camp
and then search for evidence?
Counterfeit coins...
The rebels could not have made them alone
There is definitely someone behind them
This work...
is something you started
Isn't it something everyone is doing because they trust you?
This trident has the advantage of
being the shortest and easiest to maneuver
However the spear has disadvantages...
after the threat of attack passes
it is slow to recover
How would you reinforce it?
Isn't that already stored in your mind?
Then you think the same as me
Let's try it together
Is anyone inside?
Are you the former Commander Hwangbo Yoon?
I am
I am a soldier from the Military Training Center, Lee Pil-Yong
My general has commanded me to escort you to him
How can you be so indifferent?
I said you should come visit
Aren't you also aware of what I was working on?
That is why I called you
Get ready! Yes, sir!
Attention!
Yes, sir!
Assemble!
At our camp, these are the most outstanding soldiers
Stop!
What do you think?
They look like students of
the best combat training school in Korea
I don't want to hear superficial things like that
Tell me what you really think
Then...
I will tell you one thing
They are exceedingly fast and strong
I felt they were moving in fixed positions
In real life, more so than military exercise stances
making a move at the right moment
is the only important thing
That moment, is not found in watching an opponent
But from looking into his eyes...
and feeling it with your body
Look at the eyes and feel with the body?
I heard no one could measure up to you
Please teach me in one match
I already was discharged from the military...
This is not a request for official ranking
Hold his hat for him
We have such useless government officials
A leader's mistake is as damaging as a disease
The King's advisers must not be swayed so easily like that
How could they have fired such a talented man like you?
Sir...
Please do not say that
I fear that you will anger them
This is a world of party strife and favors for sale
If I couldn't even say anything
then I would already be dead
Sir!
Can you...
help me?
I heard that at the Left Police Bureau
you personally trained an elite group of soldiers
With the eighteen martial arts and the sword forms
there are many limitations
Can you make an elite corp of soldiers like that
at the Training Center as well?
I cannot take part in this
It is for the sake of the country
When there's an insurrection and rebellion...
we need an elite force
that moves one step ahead of the rebels and puts them down
I have already prepared a force to be trained
All we need is for you to be resolved
Is the King aware of this?
I will inform him after everything is prepared
Will you help me?
Even training ten secret elite soldiers
must be done after receiving an order from the King
I will leave now
Don't you know there are many people trying to restrain me?
If they advise it, I won't even be allowed to read
You are the only man I can trust with this task
I will wait
When there's an insurrection and rebellion...
we need an elite force that moves one step ahead...
and puts down the rebels
You are the only man I can trust with this task
What are we doing now?
Whether we find counterfeit coins
or not, let's find something so we can go
OK?
Every day, my heart beats so fast that...
I feel like I'm gonna drop dead!
OK?
Why doesn't it ever want to come out?
So many stars
Man, it's disgusting how many stars there are
Who's there?!
Holy cow!
I almost smeared it on me
It's me!
Mah. You know, Mah!
Oh geez
Oh man!
Why aren't you in the bathroom?
It's just...
it doesn't come out easily
Even when I'm sitting on the toilet
nothing ever comes out
So uh...
If I squat down in a cool place and watch the stars...
It's coming out now
There it goes
Enough enough!
Hurry and finish up...
and go back inside
Thanks
Oh my stomach
Wait a second
where is that leaf?
Here it is!
Forget everything in the past
Spending time in the mountains
I'd like to live together for a long time
Do those words appeal to you?
It is an adage to always watch and conduct yourself
Who did you learn those words from?
He must have been an educated man
Where is he now?
He passed away
I asked a foolish question
Is your father... alive?
Are you talking about my father?
He is alive
He is alive...
Inside of my heart...
he is always alive
How did it go? Did you find them?
Good grief
Where could those counterfeit coin molds be hidden?
Are we latching onto the wrong foot?
They seem like just a simple gang to me
Man... am I the only one who's gonna end up in trouble?
Good grief
Dang
Are you talking about my father?
He is alive
Why aren't you sleeping?
Maybe...
are you thinking about Boss Jang?
You are, right?
Earlier, at the village and on the road...
I knew there was a light in your eyes as you looked at him
Well, when a charming leader like that
sticks out his chest
and spreads his smell...
what woman would be able to resist him?
I want to stretch out one night with a lady
Huh?
Well, what I mean is...
whether it's a person or an animal
the males have to... have to look handsome
That's what I mean
He's nothing but a rebel who will lose his head
Man, what am I rambling about?
Sleep, sleep!
What good would it do to put a man like that in my heart?
A sack of barley borrowed during the famine
must be repaid with a sack of rice in the fall
And if that cannot be repaid...
common class citizens are taken in as slaves to his household
What's even more shocking is that the scum called Oh Jang-Dal...
takes the older women as his whores...
and sells the young girls
at a slave market in the country
There's really a heartless jerk like that?
How can he sell those kids
like they were toys?
Brother
Let us destroy the place!
What are you saying?
As it is, we're already a government target
We can't move carelessly
Those jerks mistreated us too much!
And still... you say we should just leave them be?!
Who said to just leave them be?
It's only been a few days since we did the prison-breaking
Right now
I'm saying we have to be careful
Brother, it seems like they're scheming
Brother, you've only been in the mountain camp
so it looks like your liver has shriveled up!
How dare you!
Why are you so short-sighted?
How about the perimeter of the estate and the guards?
Brother!
There are two of his own guards inside the house
and the office is about twenty paces away
They say there's about sixty soldiers total
Ten soldiers have guns
If we attack at night...
it will take time for the soldiers to get there
There's nothing to worry about!
We don't have to wait until dawn to catch scum like that
This is an excellent chance
Since the counterfeit coin molds aren't in the forge
the only other place they could be is in the Boss's room
He's definitely going to say we should go with them
I'll jump in first and go with them
so stay back in the camp
No matter what, you have to find them, OK?
Let's go together
Of course we have to
If you didn't ask us to...
we would have insisted of course
I'll take an oil covered torch and set that jerk on fire!
And also, you know... in catching a chicken
you don't need a cow meat cleaver
Rest here brother
Let's go
You stay here
Let's go together
No way!
I raised my hand to go first
Then will you go with us too?
Well uh...
If my brother goes
then would you need me to go along as well?
Hurry and get on a horse
What should we do?
What?!
Be careful
What? How can she...
My lord! Please spare my life!
I'll tend the fields. Anything!
My family would starve to death
I'll be your slave for the rest of my life
Please don't send me to the slave market!
My lord!
What is this wench talking about? My lord!
You want to stay here so you can give your family food?
Get over there!
Are you Oh Jang-Dal?
Please sirs...
Let me live
You can take everything...
so please just say...
you'll let me live!
Evil man!
Brother!
We must go back now
Do you see even one person asking us to let you live?
My lord!
I'll do whatever you say...
so please... just my life...
Please, in your next life...
be born as an honorable citizen
Brother!
More soldiers will follow after us
Let's escape quickly!
It's already too late!
Cast aside your sword!
I'm not...
I'm not a rebel! I'm from the Hansung Left Police Bureau... Shoot her!
