A person who reaches the destination not with his own strength...
-=Jang Dae Po=- will ultimately be eliminated.
But still,
this is better than dying!
Do you think learning martial arts is a joke?
No.
-=Baek Dong Su=- No.
-=Baek Dong Su=-
If by abandoning my comrade I'm considered a martial artist,
I would rather not be one.
What did you say?
If by killing my comrade I'm considered a martial artist...
then what's the difference between me and an assassin?
If this is the so-called martial arts,
I'll quit.
-=Yeo Un=-
Well, alright then.
If you insist,
just do it your way.
Wait... Hold on!
-=Yang Cho Rip=- I don't like this.
-=Yang Cho Rip=-
I won't give up.
Ten days... Please give me ten days.
In ten days,
I will definitely succeed.
Don't give up.
You must return more mature and stronger.
You're such a coward.
Go well!
Give up?
Never!
Do you think you'll be able to defeat me?
Faster!
-Yeo Un. -Baek Dong Su.
Those who bet on Baek Dong Su will starve tonight!
-=Cheongamsa Temple=-
-=Yu So Gang=-
I'll announce in advance...
Those who will fail to return within the given time will be immediately disqualified.
Understood?
-Yes! -Yes!
Hey, are you okay?
This isn't the end, so don't lose focus!
One person is missing.
What happened?
I'm asking you... what happened!
This...
Lee Sam, Lee Sam, Lee Sam, Lee Sam...
What is this all about?
That... Actually...
he was very sick last night.
What? Why did you not say it earlier?
Don't cry.
His death is a very noble one.
How can there be such a noble death in this world?
This is not a noble death, but a death without meaning!
You are wrong.
Dying on the road that you chose yourself...
compared to any other forms of death... is more valuable and noble.
Nonsense.
Death to a martial artist...
is like a shadow that is always with them.
You must remember that.
17 fights, 17 losses.
From what I see, he will lose a hundred times.
Hey, Dong Su.
Dong Su, Dong Su, you all right?
Dong Su.
Tell him...
Stop waking me up.
Dong Su.
What brings you here?
Since the Warrior Camp was established to protect the Crown Prince,
shouldn't he at least visit it once?
-=Im Su Ung, Training Commander=-
The Norons are monitoring his actions very closely now.
-=Im Su Ung, Training Commander=- I'm afraid it's inappropriate for him to travel far.
-=Heuk Sa Mo=- Really!
It's during such times that the Crown Prince must plan his moves carefully.
Stop talking nonsense. Please talk to the Crown Prince.
It's you who wants to see that kid Dong Su, right?
What?
What's so endearing about that brat Dong Su? Why should I miss him?
But... do you have any news?
Did that brat get into some kind of trouble again?
Sunbaenim, it has barely been more than a month. (Sunbaenim - respected senior)
Sunbaenim, it has barely been more than a month. -=Dalpo: A little over a month=-
You're right.
It has barely been more than a month.
Anyway, you must inform the Crown Prince, all right?
In short, I must report it.
Great! Go get busy!
Dong Su?
Yes, your Royal Highness.
-=Crown Prince Sado=-
I would really like to see him personally.
Go prepare.
Your Royal Highness,
looking for Bukbeoljigye is our top priority now. -=Bukbeoljigye - the Northern Expedition strategy war book that King Hyojong left behind=-
Even though the Bukbeoljigye is important,
the kids at the Warrior Camp are more important to me.
Moreover, that kid saved my life.
Say no more.
Go get prepared.
Yes.
Are you certain?
Yes.
-=Hong Dae Ju (Commander of State Tribunal)=-
If they're riding horses,
their destination is definitely the Warrior Camp.
So, do you have any plans?
-=Cheon (Heuksa Chorong, Sky Lord)=- So, do you have any plans?
Your Lordship will soon have the long-awaited Bukbeoljigye in your hands.
As for me,
I will be able to strangle the Crown Prince.
Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?
I only have one reason for taking action.
That so-called Bukbeoljigye item...
What is it exactly?
I am very curious.
No matter what your reasons are,
Your Lordship just needs to provide assistance.
So Your Lordship, between the Bukbeoljigye and the Warrior Camp, which side are you on?
Since the Crown Prince has chosen the Warrior Camp,
Your Lordship will place your focus there.
Am I right?
Is it okay to let them handle our problem?
In comparison to you, a rascal who allowed a caged bird to escape,
shouldn't it be rational if I place my trust in them?
That... that...
Ah... my Lord!
How can you call me a "rascal"?
After all, I'm a Rank 3 Officer.
-=Danghagwan: lower-level officials ranging from 3rd junior down to 9th junior ranks=- Did you achieve this rank through your own ability?
That, although I did not...
I won't stain my hands with even a drop of blood,
so it is not killing two birds with one stone
but killing three birds with one stone.
Yes... yes... you're absolutely right...
The Lord has arrived.
Come forth individually to pay your respects.
My name is Jae Ong.
My name is Yeo Un.
I've heard that you are highly skilled in martial arts even though you're young.
Work harder to improve your skills.
Yes.
I'm Baek Dong Su.
Are your parents still alive?
My parents are dead. I have only
an uncle whose tummy bloats like a pig,
but we are not related by blood.
Maybe not?
-Dong Su... -Sa Mo...
Brat.
Dong Su, is learning martial arts exhausting?
Rather than exhausting, I would say...
Forget it.
Why, did Dae Po bully you?
No!
Then, what is it?
But...
can it be that the person I saved, who you all called "Your Royal Highness"...
is the Lord person who just arrived?
You rascal...
You... everything about you is good except that mouth of yours!
It's always causing you trouble!
If you meet him again in future, you must address him as "My Lord"!
Do you understand?
Pig... Lord Pig?
What Lord Pig? Say "My Lord".
-My Lord. -Correct.
With your stammering, you seem to have lost some weight.
You brat, come over.
-=Yu Ji Seon=-
Tomorrow, His Royal Highness will take you away.
Father...
You must treat this Bukbeoljigye as your own life.
-=Yu So Gang's Residence=-
Exactly what is it about this Bukbeoljigye that calls for such a commotion?
-=In (Heuksa Chorong, Human Lord)=- Exactly what is it about this Bukbeoljigye that calls for such a commotion?
-=Ji (Heuksa Chorong, Earth Lord)=- Exactly what is it about this Bukbeoljigye that calls for such a commotion?
-=Ji (Heuksa Chorong, Earth Lord)=- Why? Why? why?
Why? Why? Why?
Why isn't there any reaction? React!
If someone is asking so diligently,
you should at least answer.
Aren't we an organized group?
Anyway, we should flex our body well today!
Ah this woman! Seriously!
Time to work!
Leave this place immediately!
So... it's the Crown Prince's bodyguards.
-=Crown Prince's Bodyguard - warrior escorts of the Crown Prince=- So... it's the Crown Prince's bodyguards.
-=Crown Prince's Bodyguard - warrior escorts of the Crown Prince=-
Moon Blade, you are really lucky
to have me as your master.
I'll deal with him.
Go inform His Royal Highness!
Move aside.
I'll send your comrade after you immediately...
you don't have to worry.
Go clean up the path to Hades first...
as clean as possible.
Father! Father!
Can you manage? You have to go ahead with your child.
Quickly!
Why are you alone?
We're one step too late.
You leave first.
But...
Her skills are comparable to the Sword Saint.
Leave immediately!
Do you wish to live?
No one wishes for death.
Looks like your luck isn't that bad.
Since we didn't get the Bukbeoljigye,
his nagging will definitely be longer than the Great Wall of China.
Am I right?
I should have kept my mouth shut.
Father, Father... Father!
A real man should go to the latrine alone!
Are you here to welcome me?
-=Jang Yong Wi=-
Dong Su!
Let's go.
Who is it?
It's Heuksa Chorong's leader, Cheon, the Sky Lord.
What are we still waiting for? Leave immediately!
Sa Mo! You lead the kids.
This fellow... Aren't you their captain?
I'll deal with him!
I absolutely have no wish to collect your corpse.
Please be careful.
Your Royal Highness, please take care of yourself.
Let's go.
Get out quickly! Get out!
Get Out!
Come, Dong Su!
Isn't this Dae Po?
I will bring you to Hades with me today.
That sounds good, but...
can you do it?
We shall see.
Die, you bastards!
Come on!
Didn't you say you want me to accompany you on your journey to Hades?
Why are you still hesitating?
When have you ever seen me in a swordfight?
For the Sword Saint, it's still possible.
You? Not a chance!
What is wrong?
Yeo Un, he's not here.
Dong Su.
Dong Su!
Your Royal Highness.
Get out of my way.
With this person's skills,
even with the three of us together, we still have no chance defeating him.
What are you waiting for?
Life... is precious to everyone.
Your Royal Highness, if I can delay this person with my life,
please leave immediately, Your Royal Highness.
Your life if not yours alone. You have to live for your people.
Accompany me on the journey to Hades!
Your loyalty is really touching!
Un!
Yeo Un!
But you only have 15 minutes of your life left.
Captain!
Why are you still here?
Didn't I tell you to leave?
Go! Quickly!
Captain...
Even if I die, I will take an arm of yours along with me.
Go on, take it.
So you wish to die together.
-=Donggwieojin: to die together=- So you wish to die together.
You rascal...
You rascal dare...
to leave a scar on my body...
Dong Su!
Dong Su...
If you want to kill a person,
you must drive the sword through the neck,
or through the heart.
Do you understand?
A sword should not be held this way.
By holding it like this, you will not hurt your wrist.
Dong Su!
Dong Su...
Don't move.
Are you Dong Su?
Avoid the vital organs and you won't die.
Remember well what I have said.
Dong Su.
The Crown Prince already left,
so I cannot let you off.
No... Don't.
Captain...
Watch closely, how body heat is of no use for the weak.
No... No!
Don't blame me.
Captain... Captain!
No... No!
Captain!
Cap... Captain!
You are correct.
You look better with a murderous air around you.
Keep an eye on this kid.
One day this kid will be the one you want to surpass.
Master... Master!
-=Cheongamsa Temple=-
Will he be fine?
What actually happened?
Are you all right?
Ji Seon,
leave for a while...
What? But...
Leave now...
Yes.
My life,
can it be saved?
There is excessive bleeding and your internal organ is badly damaged...
How did this...
Master... I have a presumptuous request.
Please drink.
This... what is it?
This is for a great cause.
Be brave and drink it.
Father...
Drink!
He is bleeding profusely.
I'm afraid... it would be difficult to save him.
How is his daughter?
Fortunately, she is unharmed.
I've done the child wrong.
Your Royal Highness!
Your Royal Highness.
Please forgive me, Your Royal Highness.
Forget it.
There's nothing more important than surviving.
As long as you make it back alive,
it is good enough.
Your Royal Highness.
Before dawn,
bring an army and go to Jang Yong Wi. (Jang Yong Wi - the warrior camp)
Yes.
I will personally check the condition
of Jang Yong Wi.
Dong Su!
Father... Father!
Father! Father! Please wake up!
Father, Father!
Father! You have to wake up! Father!
Dae Po...
Father, wake up now!
Father...
-=Heuksa Chorong=-
They aren't the Sword Saint
but just some bodyguards of the Crown Prince.
Six underlings came back as corpse,
yet the Bukbeoljigye wasn't acquired.
Does that make any sense?
It makes no sense.
But what can we do
when things have become like this?
What about you?
It's just a Crown Prince, yet you failed to kill him too.
Moreover, you even injured your ribs!
You don't have to bother yourself with this.
Oh god! This is not easy!
How long has it been since he last got injured?
Do you still remember?
Huh?
I'm really curious
who that fellow is...
who was able to hurt
that iron man's body.
Didn't I already tell you...
where in this world
is there such a thing as a noble death?
In this world,
there is no such thing...
as a noble death!
Captain...
There is absolutely no such thing as...
It doesn't exist in this world...
We don't have the time to stay here.
We have leave quickly.
There is no such thing...
Father, father... father...
Captain.
That's enough. Stand up.
Dae Po... this fellow. He sacrificed his own life
in exchange for your future.
Do you understand?
Only those who wish to become a real warrior
and are determined to do so...
follow me.
Where are we going?
To the depths of the mountain that nobody knows.
Sa Mo.
I... want to become strong.
I will definitely become strong and...
Very well, you must be like this. This is good!
Don't worry about that fellow, Dae Po.
We have buried him accordingly.
He should be resting in peace now.
I will definitely raise these kids well
and let them step into Hanyang territories again.
Until then...
you must protect the Crown Prince while waiting for me.
-=Jang Yong Wi=-
Baek Dong Su! You better do this well!
-=Yeo Un=-
Hey, Baek Dong Su!
This fellow... really.
-=Baek Dong Su=-
-=Yu Ji Seon=-
-=Sword Saint Gim Gwang Taek (Joseon's best Swordman)=-
Look in front of you.
That pot... it contains puffer fish venom.
Baek Dong Su.
Yes.
Tell us about this puffer fish venom.
Yes.
Puffer fish venom if used in small doses can cause paralysis,
fainting, and has the venomous quality to cause death.
At present, there is no perfect antidote.
And also,
if during the 8 hours of being poisoned,
-=Nasijin - 8 hours=- a person does not lose consciousness and bears with it,
he will develop immunity and live.
Absolutely correct!
Drink the puffer fish venom in front of you.
Drink it all without leaving a drop.
Implement!
-=Yang Cho Rip=-
Good, done!
Baek Dong Su.
Yeo Un.
Yang Cho Rip.
Passed!
The remaining ones have failed.
Dong Su. Dong Su... Baek Dong Su.
I thought all of them would qualify this time,
but the recruits failed one by one.
Did Dong Su qualify?
He endured for 8 hours... of course he qualified.
No. Didn't he faint?
If you were him... at the moment you fainted,
could you still smile?
That rascal...
If there was a ranking system in this exam,
Dong Su's performance level is top.
Captain,
but he doesn't seem very mature yet.
Ah! I got it! I got it!
Hey! You!
Ah, this fellow! Really!
We have succeeded!
I said, this is really...
-=Tae Yong, Sang Gyeok, Yeong Geol=- I said, this is really...
-=Tae Yong, Sang Gyeok, Yeong Geol=- I've never ever thought that Cho Rip would be selected.
From what I see,
you will remain here for the rest of your life.
This rascal, really!
Hey hey, get a grip!
We will leave the mountain soon too.
So you all can go get the place ready first.
I know it, brat.
We're leaving.
Sure.
Alright, your big brother shall leave first and get the roads paved for you!
The rest of you must also leave the mountain soon!
Yes, sure!
Just leave!
Mmm...
Stop fooling around and leave the mountain quickly!
The Captain has been waiting there all this time.
Yes.
Let's go.
Give me half a kilogram of meat.
Since you're my first customer, I'll be nice.
Giving me 1 Yang will do.
We really haven't been here for a long time, right?
Everything looks new and exciting!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Look! So pretty, so pretty! Right?
Hey! Hey!
You've been here for only a few hours
and you're already thinking of women?
From what I see,
you still have to practice for at least another ten years.
Hey, what about you then? What were you reading at the bookstore?
A Martial Arts Manual?
A Martial Arts Manual!
Then... then what is that on your body?
Let me see!
Hey, get away from me!
We have arrived.
So soon?
Hey! Sa Mo!
What?
Did Dong Su leave the mountain this soon?
Really... this is unexpected!
Oh! Yeo Un!
Hey!
Un, come over for dinner later!
-I'm coming over too! -Me too! Me too!
Stop wasting your time
and finish up your work here before doing anything else.
Really...
You're always like this. That's why you remained a spinster!
What did you say?
I'm cleaning.
This is your first task.
With Yeo Un around, there won't be any mistakes.
However, if I let you go by yourselves,
I don't know why, but I'm worried.
We will be fine.
Don't worry.
Really! This is...
You're disregarding me right in my face?
Old Merchant Group...
It's a merchants' group coming from Qing.
There will be a Samini in the group.
-=Samini - term for female monk=- There will be a Samini in the group.
-=Samini - term for female monk=- Escorting the Samini safely to Cheongamsa Temple
is your task.
Are you saying that there will be assassins waiting to ambush?
I'm not sure.
Whatever it is, just make sure the Samini is safe.
Do you understand?
-Yes. -Yes.
Samini?
-=Hwang Jin Ju=-
Wait.
Oh my!
These fellows!
There are enemies around!
Let's go.
Leave now!
-=Next Week Preview=-
The technique you're using is very strange!
How is it?
Do you want to learn?
One thousand people, one thousand people.
I think I can see the King of Hades already!
What?
It's still unknown if she can be my wife, what nonsense are you saying?
Why do you act like a mouse...
always following me around?
I want to compete with you, old mister!
Placing fake assassins in O Hwa Nu, are you trying to put an act?
Want to die for Qing? Exactly what you want to do?
I heard that Sword Saint has returned.
How is it! Do you want to spar?
