Which family...
are you from?
Here.
Hand this to the gaekju owner.
I will let him know a guest from a great family is here.
--Episode 11--
Head Merchant.
Which gaekju is he from sticking to formality like this?
He's not from a gaekju.
He's from a royal family.
"Goon-Ji-So-Gi-Ja, Ah-Sun-Ji-Ji..."
"I know what your wishes are."
Alright, let's go inside.
Let's go.
Heavens! How many times is this...
How can a married woman stare at another man's face?
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
So, are you a whole or a half?
Which family are you from?
I'm neither a whole nor a half.
I am not related to a nobleman.
I'm a merchant.
What?
How dare this rascal play me?
"Goon-Ji-So-Gi-Ja, Ah-Sun-Ji-Ji."
Aren't you curious about how I know your wishes?
I don't want to know.
Get out before I cut your mouth off.
This is your 60th birthday gift.
No way!
That's right.
The breakdown of the deal between Kim Bo-hyeon and Shin Suk-ju.
It's a financial record that can break them apart.
Who are you?
Reveal who you are.
Wang-bal.
Yes, sir.
This isn't everything, right?
Remaining two books are safely buried in my lodge backyard.
I got this for my 60th birthday.
We can exchange with this big golden bullfrog.
I don't want it.
I can bring all of my books here,
and they can be robbed.
If you want this, come follow me.
It's one golden bullfrog per book.
Kim Hak-jun, you rascal. Come out now!
You steal Song-pa Stable, and open a 60th birthday party?
Those cattle brokers would break into this place on a day like this, huh?
Please wait a bit.
You rascal, Kim Hak-jun!
Come out now!
Kim Hak-jun!
Come out!
Song-pa Stable bastards kidnapped Head Merchant!
Everyone, look for him!
Look around thoroughly!
Head Merchant!
Your Honor?
Your Honor.
Head Merchant!
What just happened?
Your Honor! / Head Merchant!
What just happened?
Head Merchant!
Song-pa Stable guys did this.
Hurry up and report it to the police.
Yes.
No, no. Call the doctor first.
Yes. / Never mind.
Hurry up and take him inside.
Take him!
Take him.
Gae-ddong.
This... this way.
Hurry, hurry.
So, what happened?
We waited in the woods for a long time.
I almost had it.
But some guy hit me in my leg...
I should've waited until Bong-Sam got here.
Bong-Sam.
Chun Soh-leh!
Can't this woman...
for her lifetime...
have someone in her heart?
Crazy. I've gone crazy.
Head Cattle Broker has no time to waste.
Chun Bong-Sam!
Wake up, you rascal!
If it wasn't for the new madam, that seat could've been yours.
You're sad, huh?
Hey, hey. Hey!
What are you disgustingly peeking into?
Hey there.
Hey there!
Are you deaf or what?
Ouch.
Ouch...
Get up.
Don't you dare think about sponging off on us by acting you're hurt.
Get up!
I said, get up.
You're not a dragon yet.
What?
What did you just say?
I said you're not a dragon yet.
What a crazy wench.
When did...
When did I say I'm a dragon?
The dragon is over there.
Our honorable Yook-ei-jeon Head Merchant is over there,
and what dragon are you talking about?
Compared to our honorable Head Merchant,
I'm a small python slithering on ground.
What the...
Python, my butt.
You're a mouse.
What?
It seems like he'll hit her.
Stay still.
You wench.
What did you just say?
You will live forever stealing rice in dark and soggy place.
And then you will get eaten by a black snake.
This shaman wench.
How dare you speak to me like that?
Merchant Maeng.
Yes, madam.
How could you mistreat a young woman like that?
She's not a young woman.
A vulgar shaman wench is shouting to die.
Bring her here.
What did you say, madam?
I said, bring that woman here.
Merchant Maeng.
What are you doing?
She's telling you to bring her here.
He must be in his dotage.
He's already under control of that young wench.
Your mouth is the source of trouble.
You must take care of it.
My goodness.
Is your home nearby?
It's in Song-pa.
Song-pa?
The Song-pa you're talking about is
the one in Kyeonggi Province?
I'm not a shaman.
My fiance is from Song-pa, so I'm on my way to see him.
It's about 500 kilometers from here.
Can a lady with pigtail hair ribbon walk that much and find the way?
I used to be a female peddler, so I can take care of myself.
With that ankle, how could you walk 500 kilometers...
Let's do this.
Come follow me.
It's our fault for your broken ankle in first place.
So let's go together.
It's more spacious than it looks on the outside.
So it shouldn't be small for two people.
I'll do that then.
Since you are showing your gratitude,
I will not reject it.
Move out of the way!
Here comes Yook-ei-jeon Head Merchant.
Move out of the way!
Here comes Yook-ei-jeon Head Merchant.
Move out of the way!
Here comes Yook-ei-jeon Head Merchant.
It's palanquin sickness, eh?
You'll get better.
Is the female shaman in there?
What is it?
Head Merchant is looking for you.
If you dare to speak nonsense,
keep in mind that I will cut your tongue off.
Taking care of one's tongue is
what you need to do.
This crazy...
Aren't you curious to know why I called you out this late?
I can't give you any answer.
Oh, wow.
How do you know what question I have?
Men who are ambitious have similar problems.
Money, woman, and power.
You just got married to the most beautiful woman,
so it shouldn't be about a woman.
Other than the king, you're the richest person in the nation.
So it shouldn't be about money either.
Then?
It should be power.
You probably called me out here because
you heard what I said to Merchant Maeng, right?
It's not my style to talk around.
So let me ask you directly.
Will there be a successor of mine?
As I said before, I'm not a shaman.
Then, how did you know about Merchant Maeng,
whom you met for the first time, so well?
All merchants know that you don't have a successor.
If one's a Shin's Gaekju merchant,
wouldn't he want to become a successor?
As a person who always wanted to be a dragon,
wouldn't he feel anxious about your marriage?
Then, what do you think?
Could Merchant Maeng qualify to become my successor?
Why are you asking me that?
Head Merchant, you're already a big shaman yourself.
Big shaman? Me?
Are you trying to make jokes with me?
Small merchants sell goods.
Big merchants sell people.
As a head merchant, you have probably dealt with tens of thousands of people,
so you probably can read people's minds with your eyes closed.
Your fiance is very fortunate to have you.
It seems like he'll have a very intelligent wife.
Very fortunate!
Get some rest.
What's wrong?
You'll bear a son.
There will be a boy in your household.
Yeah, this is it.
We found Mr. Bong.
Bong-Sam!
Bong-Sam.
Mr. Bong!
Head Cattle Broker!
You had a nightmare?
Wait, what's real?
Sun-dol and Dol-ee, why are you guys here?
To wake up from a nightmare, this is the best medicine.
Anyway, what's going on?
You guys have to be in Boeun village, but why?
Sun-dol kept insisting, so we tagged along with other peddlers and got here.
I heard you're dealing with Kim Hak-jun.
Then I can't let you go alone.
You're right.
Let's go.
Without sleeping? Right now?
There's a full moon.
If we leave right now, we can get to Yunshil village by early morning.
Let's go.
Why are you rushing all of sudden?
We can leave after getting some sleep,
and still get there before breakfast time.
Is it because you had a bad dream about Head Cattle Broker?
What did you dream about?
Tell us.
I'm good at explaining dreams. I'm better than any dream interpreters.
I don't even want to mention it.
Let's go.
Fine. Let's go.
What do you mean? No way.
He's on the brink of death?
I didn't hit him that hard!
Now that it's like this already,
I wish Kim Hak-jun would just die.
We're leaving now,
so you should hurry up and leave Kangkyeong as well.
Buy some food with this.
Thanks, Gae-ddong!
Hey, let's exchange jackets for our friendship.
What?
Our jackets?
That's not necessary.
He's much younger than you. And you should keep your appearances, Head Cattle Broker.
I will make you my younger brother now.
Brother, it's my honor!
Okay, let's go.
Yes.
You are going to be the head merchant of Yook-ei-jeon.
A person like you could become one.
Even if you're about to die, you can't leave what was prepared for you.
I need the deed to Song-pa Stable to go to Yook-ei-jeon or Shin Suk-ju.
How about the subordinates?
I put them to sleep.
It will look like they are passed out from preparing the celebration.
You're the one who took the promissory note.
It's probably a plan to attack Kim Hak-jun.
They're the separate team.
That rascal.
The rascal who brought a ledger containing Kim Bo-hyeon and Shin Suk-ju's deals.
We must figure out who he is.
He's not from Song-pa Stable.
He's not a cattle broker.
How can a cattle broker have Bo-hyeon's ledger?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Is it really that important?
So-Hong.
Would you pinch my cheeks?
I must have hearing problems from getting hit in the head.
I'm not So-Hong.
If you're not So-Hong,
then who are you?
Me?
I'm Chun Soh-leh.
Chun Soh-leh?
Chun Soh-leh. Chun Soh-leh...
Chun Oh-su!
Chun's Gaekju Chun Oh-su?
That's right. My father is...
someone whom I admire, respect, and miss...
the one whom I can't forget even in my dreams.
Chun Oh-su. That's him.
Now all the mysteries are solved.
Then, you're the one who stole the Song-pa Stable promissory note.
When you eat bad food, you get stomachache.
But when you eat money you shouldn't eat, you can lose your life.
When you said you'll eat Song-pa Stable,
I was so excited that it made me want to dance.
The student has become the master.
Your are better than your father.
Chun Oh-su must be so happy to see his daughter's achievements.
Do you know how I decided to live with you?
You're a half nobleman who gets struck by Kim Bo-hyeon all the time.
How dare you mock me and my father?
What? Half nobleman?
How dare you to sneak into my household and trick me?
Leave now.
Because I enjoyed fooling around with you for 18 years,
I'll let you have the Song-pa Stable promissory note.
However,
leave when I say so nicely.
You damn rascal!
Who killed my father?
I knew it.
Promissory note.
Where is the Song-pa Stable promissory note?
Cho Sung-jun.
You wench.
Why are you doing this?
For 18 years,
I learned a lot from you.
I learned how to win against someone stronger than me.
You're not going to die right away.
So who...
Who killed my father?
I have so many things to do.
I haven't stepped on Bo-hyeon yet.
I haven't kicked Shin Suk-ju out
to become the next Yook-ei-jeon Head Merchant yet.
I can't die.
I'll tell you who killed your father.
So save me. Save me, So-Hong.
My father passed away when he was only 40 years old.
It wasn't me.
The one who killed your father, Chun Oh-su, isn't me!
I'm not the one to revenge your father's death.
Merchant Gil died because of you.
Chun's Gaekju that my father built closed down.
And out of all, my brother...
my brother Bong-Sam... I lost him.
That's life.
You eat, you get eaten...
I eat, and I get eaten...
So-Hong, save me.
I have so many things to do.
I can't die as a piece of crap of Ahndong Kim clan.
Save... me.
Save me...
Save me.
Fine.
If you want to desperately live, then you should.
I'll save you.
I'll save you, so
tell me who killed my father.
Gil Sang-moon's son, Gil So-gae.
What?
Gil So-gae?
He is it.
He's the one who put opium in your father's bag.
No.
No!
No! No!
No!
No! No!
No!
You...
No matter how much you don't want to believe it,
that's the truth.
No way.
There's...
There's no way!
I will keep it forever with me, So-gae.
Oh, my. Pick something that's feminine.
This is pretty.
I've saved money for a year to buy you this.
I'm a daughter of a merchant.
And I'll get married to one.
What better love token is there than this?
This is too common.
What is this?
Chun's Gaekju?
Chun's...
My life...
will there be another lifetime for me?
Because it's death with big resentment,
you'll be reborn as a beast.
If I am reborn,
I will not be greedy.
I don't want to be a nobleman.
I don't want to be rich.
Merely with So-Hong,
live happily together...
I should live like that.
You can keep everything.
All of my assets,
don't let Bo-hyeon take away any of them.
You should...
Instead, you should keep everything.
Never let Bo-hyeon take away anything!
Bong-Sam! Bong-Sam!
There's an uproar! An uproar!
These are all over the place. Attempted murder charges!
What is this?
Head Cattle Broker?
Where are you trying to go?
Let go of me!
Bong-Sam! Where are you trying to go?
Well, I need to figure out what this is.
You said he told us to go to Yunshil village.
He is only 9 days ahead of us.
Does being charged with attempted murder make sense?
We need to at least find out what this is.
The day has to get brighter.
To find what happened, we need to ask the village people passing by.
Calm down a bit.
Just wait.
What is this nonsense...
Who are you?
Are you...
You rascal...
You snuck in not knowing you can get killed, huh?
Deuk-gae!
Soh-leh?
Soh-leh.
Chun Soh-leh.
Brother So-gae...?
Brother So-gae?
Kim Hak-jun's concubine...
was really you?
It was you, Soh-leh?
How did you become Kim Hak-jun's concubine?
How can Chun Soh-leh...
How can you become a concubine of a man who tore Chun's Gaekju apart?
Doesn't life seem like a joke?
Isn't it funny?
Soh-leh.
Is it funnier that I become Kim Hak-jun's concubine? Or...
is it funnier that you became a robber of a fake nobleman?
Alright.
You ran away from us.
My father asked you desperately.
As he was dying, he asked you to take care of me and Bong-Sam.
You ran away to become a robber?
Are you going to stay up all night like this?
So, what do you want me to say?
Whatever there is to say.
We haven't met for 18 years. So whatever there is to say, say it!
Marry Soh-leh, and...
take care of Bong-Sam.
and Chun's Gaekju.
My father...
It was my father's last will.
You should say something if you ran away like that.
To ask for forgiveness, make excuses...
or say why you ran away!
That is the past.
Song-pa Stable...
did you do it?
So-gae, you've changed a lot.
Take it and leave.
Soon enough, the subordinates will be here.
Soh-leh.
Go with me.
Stop with your nonsense.
Take that with you
and leave.
Out of Mr. Gil's sake, I'm giving it to you.
Soh-leh...
Bong-Sam is...
Our Bong-Sam is doing well.
Soh-leh, Bong-Sam is...
Why?
Can't Bong-Sam live well?
Don't talk about my brother.
You don't have the right to say Bong-sam's name.
What am I supposed to do?
Do I let go of someone who killed my father like that?
Do I have to forgive him because father forgave him?
Head Merchant.
I'm going in.
Head Merchant?
Head Merchant.
Head Merchant?
Head Merchant!
Cho Sung-jun?
This rascal...
Bong-Sam! Bong-Sam!
There's an uproar! Really an uproar.
This is nothing.
Look at this, eh?
Huh? What is this?
It's not attempted murder, and now it's actual murder charges?
Murder?
Kim Hak-jun is dead!
They said he got injured a while ago,
so he ended up dying?
No, they said that Head Cattle Broker broke into his house and killed him.
Stop saying stupid things!
For 10 years, we lived with Head Cattle Broker. You don't know him?
They said there's evidence.
What evidence?
Kim Hak-jun was found dead holding onto a jacket
that had Head Cattle Broker's name.
This is so weird.
How did your jacket got into Kim Hak-jun's hand?
We'll find out when we ask Gae-ddong about it.
Sir! Where are you trying to go?
There are police all over Kangkyeong right now.
Sir! Even though we go out, let's leave when the sun's completely down.
Sir!
Who the hell did it?
When Head Cattle Broker and Wang-bal were fighting,
the person who kidnapped Kim Hak-jun.
Who could it be?
Aren't you those cattle brokers' fellow?
Cattle broker?
This woman is doing an innocent person an injury!
Why am I a fellow of a cattle broker?
I'm a salted seafood seller!
Anyway, you were hanging out with those cattle brokers.
How do you know the cattle brokers that were here?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm a salted seafood seller who came here to do business for kimchi-making season!
I met the cattle broker, criminal, or whatever, here.
This woman was yelling at them, so I merely paid for their meal.
Let me see your peddler license. Now!
Are you a head merchant of a market or what?
Why would you want to see someone else's license?
I'm going to go on my way,
so stop saying nonsense.
Dol-ee.
How dare do you attempt to shirk your responsibility?
I'll bring the police, so keep him here, okay?
Fine! My license.
Open your eyes and see it carefully.
Hwanghae Village.
I got my license from Hwanghae Village, too.
Gil So-gae.
What did you just say?
What? Hwanghae Village?
Gil... So-gae?
Why? Do you know him?
Chun's Gaekju.
Gil So-gae.
Yeah.
It's me.
So-gae, your brother.
Brother?
Brother!
How are you my brother?
Brother!
It's still clear in my mind.
When you ran away from us.
While my sister and I waited...
waited...
And waited...
Huh?
Oh, my.
Give us a moment.
Enjoy the food.
Take this drink.
Well, I almost forgot about it, eh?
Because Gae-ddong didn’t tell me.
When you rescued me that one day.
I told Gae-ddong not to tell you.
Honestly, I...
I resented you a lot.
I felt like losing my sister was your fault.
But, I understand everything now.
Because you were young back then, too.
It would've been hard to take care of yourself alone.
On your back,
you were told to carry me, my sister, and Chun's Gaekju...
It would've been too heavy to carry, huh?
It wasn't because it was heavy.
Because it was uncomfortable.
Whenever I see your sister, I would think of my father.
Did you become a salted seafood seller to find Chun Soh-leh?
You're the person whom my father expected to lead Chun's Gaekju.
But with your exceptional business skills, why salted seafood seller?
It seems like you looked through 8 provinces of Chosun to find Soh-leh.
Bong-Sam.
Do you know where Soh-leh is?
Chun Soh-leh.
She is living as a concubine of a nobleman.
So you should forget about her.
Oh, and we should catch up one by one.
After I find Head Cattle Broker, okay?
Eat.
Gil So-gae, that rascal. Did he leave Kangkyeong?
He's still in Yunshil village...
Okay.
Thinking about it for 1,000 times,
or even 10,000 times,
I can't forgive him.
Thinking about my father who got beheaded by a head cutter,
my brother, Bong-Sam...
That man's evil deed...
I cannot forgive no matter what.
Kill Gil So-gae.
Kill him.
Okay. Dol-ee, you should go towards Han Market.
Remember when we first came to Kangkyeong market and bummed out?
Haeshin-dang, yeah. Look around Haeshin-dang.
I'm going to go towards Ok-ryung-bong.
If I go there, there's a cave where we bummed out with Wang-bal last winter.
Sun-dol, you go with Bong-Sam because he suffers from a night blindness.
Anyway, whether it be under the bridge, you need to search thoroughly, okay?
Watch out for the police, okay?
Alright.
Come back before early morning dew.
Be careful.
It's here, here. Here.
Head Cattle Broker! / Head Cattle Broker.
Wang-bal!
They must rushed their way out, to leave this light on.
Or, maybe they're planning to come back?
That could be it.
But...
does it make sense to go into someone else's house,
take your jacket off and leave half naked?
Especially the jacket that has his name on it.
"I'm a murderer and a robber." He might as well advertise it!
No?
I don't know because I haven't seen it with my eyes.
But we'll find out when we ask Head Cattle Broker.
Anyway, we can miss each other. So let's just stay here.
Let me see your identification.
Yes? Identification?
Identification...
Where is this...
They're the murderers!
Get them!
This way!
Get them!
Okay.
Oh, you're back.
Get them!
What is this noise?
Damn it.
Bong-Sam.
Bong-Sam!
Head Cattle Broker!
Sir.
Head Cattle Broker!
No!
Sir.
Head Cattle Broker.
Shoot them.
Head Cattle Broker!
--The Merchant: Gaekju 2015--
Who are you calling a murderer?!
I'm going to tear him apart with my own hands.
Bong-sam's life depends on that concubine's words.
Are you sure the Song-pa Stable owner is the criminal?
I'm going to bury her in the sea.
