[Episode 17]
What are you doing right now?!
Everything...everything is my fault.
The Merchant Elder's only crime is saving me.
Let go of me.
Let go!
You bastard! Why are you treating a woman so terribly?
Were you lovers with this woman?
What- this...
"I forgive you".
Is it really not possible
to say those words?
Forgive? Did you just say forgive?
The respectable Merchant Elder became a bandit.
The Merchant Elder of the Songpa Stable could be
killed anytime by anyone!
Forgive?
Bong Sam!
Just give me back my rice.
There is none. I told you we already distributed it to the people.
Then you can just take it back again.
You have to return the rice to me no matter what.
If you think you won't be able to return the rice,
then you can just watch my head fall off.
You can just watch our stable go into ruins!
Ah, I'm really going crazy.
Hyungnim, hyungnim! If we can't return the rice,
then Bong Sam will die. He'll die.
Wang Bal, let's find out how much of the rice we distributed
can be taken back.
Merchant Elder! Merchant Elder!
Even if you do go, will it be possible to collect the rice again?
That's what I mean. Instead of doing that,
let's just bring Bong Sam here using this chance. We can all just live together!
What? You want to turn Bong Sam into a bandit?
-The rice...I'll make the rice.-W-w-what?
200 sacks are worth 10,000 nyangs.
I'll make the rice somehow
so please tell that person named Bong Sam
not to worry.
If you hand this to Byeong Merchant of Kim Jae, he'll give you 200 sacks of rice.
Hurry. If you don't hurry, my Bong Sam will be in danger.
Yes. I'll race against time.
Look here.
Exactly what is your reason for doing this?
You see, a human
hates someone who hates them
and wants to beat someone who tried to kill them no matter how large your crime is.
Why are you trying to help Chun Bong Sam who
dropped you in the Namdang River?
It's because I have a crime I committed.
By any chance,
aren't you Bong Sam's older sister?
You are. You are Bong Sam's older sister.
Why do you make such an accusation?
I'm not! I'm not! I said I'm not! I'm not...
You killed Kim Hak Joon to get revenge for Elder Chun Oh Soo.
I didn't! No!
How...
how can my father
have such...such an evil daughter?
I'm not Chun So Rye.
I...I...don't have the right to
be the older sister of my Bong Sam.
The Merchant Elder of the Songpa Stable has become a bandit? What bandit?
Hurry up and give me the rice.
I can't return the rice to you.
Bong Sam!
Did you meet the Merchant Elder?
What Merchant Elder? He looks nothing like him.
Oh...that can't be.
I clearly saw that Elder with my own two eyes...
No, no. Our Merchant Elder
isn't a bandit.
That, seriously...
Aigoo...how are we going to replace the 200 sacks of the rice taxes?
It'll take 4 days for the boat's floor to be fixed.
We have to find the rice before then.
I know as well.
If I don't have the rice, I'll have to give up my head.
I'll be going first.
Ah, Bong Sam!
Tell Bong Sam.
I can't!
How can a person be so selfish?
Do you not think of Bong Sam's feelings at all?
I really don't have the courage
to appear in front of Bong Sam.
And...I can't for the sake of Bong Sam.
Just behind...please allow me to just help him from behind.
What was the least thing you want to do?
It's not knowing whether the people who share your blood are dead or alive.
If you know they died, then you can at least forget them.
You know better than anyone of
living with the pain of burying them in your heart.
Am I wrong?
If you can't do it yourself, I'll do it.
Merchant Elder!
Whether you commit a murder or treason, you are still his blood relative.
Even if everyone in the world curses at you and throws rocks at you,
family...
are the sole people who'll be on your side.
You only have each other under this sky.
I really wanted...to hug my younger brother
once.
But...if he finds out that I'm his older sister,
won't our Bong Sam will have such a hard time?
Do you know anybody who came to sell rice to you in past 2-days?
There were none.
Are you okay? Wang Bal hyung.
Don't act as if you know me.
Are you alright?
Yes.
-He said there was none, right?-Yeah.
What? Why are you like that?
I've obtained the rice.
At the hill on the back of Han Tuh mountain,
meet me about 10pm tomorrow.
The heavens have helped us. You'll live now.
It's such a relief that the Merchant Elder and Wang Bal hyung were alive
and it's such a relief that we could recover the rice.
Don't accept that rice.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
It's rice that was stolen by the merchants. The soldiers and the workers all know about it.
With what reason are you going to accept it? The bandits felt remorseful and returned it?
The Inspector is Bong Sam Hyung.
Why do you have so many suspicions?
Hyung, seriously.
Bong Sam, don't accept it. I don't think you should accept it.
We don't have a choice
and what's important is that we get the rice back.
Just like Choi Dol hyung here, So Gae hyung
is someone who raised me since I was young. Don't worry, I trust So Gae hyung.
Let's go.
Everyone, hurry! We have to load everything up on the boat before the rooster crows.
How did the rice that was stolen return?
Be quiet. We have to move quietly.
Merchant Elder! Merchant Elder!
-Choi Dol!-It's nice to see you!
Ah, Merchant Elder!
Thank you for returning the rice, Merchant Elder.
But...what are you that you keep showing up in front of me?!
Uhh!!
Aren't you the woman from the Namdang River?
Look here, a human should have some shame.
If you stayed alive because the heavens helped you,
either you should live in monastery or deep in the mountain hidden.
Bong Sam! This person...
obtained the rice.
What?
Ah, so are you lingering around here
because you wanted to hear words like "Thank you"
and "I forgive you"?
Bong Sam!
Look here, this is a request I'm begging for.
Stop crying those useless tears and please just disappear from next to our Merchant Elder!
Bong Sam! This person...
this person is...your older sister.
What did you say?
W-what did you just say right now?
Look carefully. No matter how much time has passed, how can you not recognize your own sister?
Nonsense!
Why is a woman like that my older sister?!
Bong Sam!
Timing and Subtitles brought to you byThe Merchant Team @ Viki
Chun So Rye. She's your older sister you were searching for so earnestly!
Sir!
The plan has changed.
Chun Bong Sam who worked together with the bandits is a given. Those 3 guys
and that woman, we get rid of them all.
Yes.
Bong Sam!
Let me ask you something.
I heard there is a vacant house here...
I'm a merchant from the Songpa Stable, Chun Bong Sam!
Bong Sam...you have to get better quickly.
Bong Sam!
Something really bad could have happened.
He almost killed his own sister with his own hands.
My hair is standing up.
Now...we should give them some space.
B-Bong Sam... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Bong Sam.
For...for abandoning you.
I'm sorry.
Bong Sam.
Let me see your face.
Bong Sam.
Were you okay?
Chun So Rye, were you okay? Huh?
Yeah, I was okay.
Bong Sam.
Noona...
Bong Sam...Bong Sam...
Ah...what smell is this?
A foul smell is gradually coming up.
What is this rotten smell?
Gunpower.
Rifles!
It's the soldiers! Hurry up and escape!
Bong Sam, run away!
Rifles! Rifles!
Quickly! Run away!
Quickly!
-You can't let them escape alive!-Catch them!
Bong Sam!
Merchant Elder! Let's go!
Hyungnim!
Get them!
Choi Dol Yi Hyung!
They're people who worked together with the bandits! Don't let any of them leave alive!
Gil So Gae, you bastard!
So Gae...
Bong Sam!
Deuk Gae!
Catch them!
No! You can fight head on!
Bong Sam! Bong Sam!
We have to go quickly!
We can't! How can I go after leaving Bong Sam
and Deuk Gae like that?!
If you stay here like this, it'll be harder for Bong Sam!
You two go ahead! Go ahead!
We're fine so hurry up and go!
Merchant Elder! Merchant Elder!
Quickly...quickly! Quickly!
We caught everyone who worked together with the bandits.
Good job, good job.
Let's go.

While I was serving as a Magistrate in Jeolla,
I've seen bandits steal rice often
but 2,000 sacks? Even if you're daring, you're too daring!
2,000 sacks? No!
200 sacks.
We only received the 200 sacks the bandits took.
2,000 sacks are missing.
The bandits took 2,000 sacks of rice from the big boat at night.
They must have stolen them while you were busy with the soldiers.
What nonsense are you saying?!
We came to transfer the rice...
we didn't come to stel then rice. We didn't do it...
Beat them until they confess!
It doesn't matter if you beat them to death
so you need to figure out the location of the rice from them!
-Yes!-Yes!
Hyungnim, can you move?
I'm fine. We need to hurry.
Um...I can't leave like this.
After leaving Deuk Gae like that...
after leaving Bong Sam like that, how could I leave?
It's only a matter of time before they barge in here!
Are you in?! Is anyone inside?!
Who are you?
So it is you, the Merchant Elder.
You'll did such a great thing, I'm so proud of you!
Because of you people, Bong Sam and Choi Dol hyung are about to die!
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?!
I asked who you were!
I'm Sun Dol. Bong Sam's friend, Sun Dol!
-Put him in there! -Let go!
It's you...it's your doing.
Let go. You need to save your strength.
Are the 2,000 sacks your doing?
No. It's not me.
You are lying.
If I don't take the rice back with me, Kim Bo Hyeon will kill me.
Do you believe money will buy everything in this world?
No.
Money...is nothing if it can't hold hands with power.
It only takes a morning to lose multi 10s of thousand nyangs,
and it only takes a morning to lose your life as well.
Your father, Chun Oh Soo, and
my father, Gil Sang Moon. Do you still not know after watching them?
Hyung...
You and I...
just had a huge business dealing in place of Shin Suk Joon and Kim Bo Hyeon.
In the fight, you lost and I won.
Shin Suk Joo lost and Kim Bo Hyeon won.
I made a huge profit of 2000 sack of tax grains.
You call that a business deal? That is fraud and stealing.
Did you not know a half of the business is fraud?
Dazzling and enticing other people's eyes to profit,
is the selling business, isn't it?
You rotten bastard!
2,000 sacks! It's 2,000 sacks!
2,000 sacks of rice? 2,000 sacks?!
I am more concerned about the fact that they are not taken to Jinjoo jurisdiction, but the Magistrate came to Gunsan court.
I heard the Magistrate is in Kim Bo Hyeon's back pocket.
This is all Gil So Gye's scheme!
Life of lowly lives is nothing.
Why are there so many people after Bong Sam's neck?!
Do you think of your life as important or your loyalty to a friend important?
My life is Chun Bong Sam's.
Our Bong Sam made a nice friend.
Can you ride a horse?
I've rode on in the past.
Give this to Kim Bo Hyeon.
Kim Bo Hyeon?
Just admit it. Nothing will change by you enduring this.
My older sister...
my pitiful older sister, Chun So Rye. Did you do everything even when you knew?
Even after knowing after everything, did you order me to throw away my older sister in the Namdang River?r
How can you say something like that?
Just answer!
Do I look like an animal to you? I was supposed to marry So Rye!
How...how can you make me into that type of person?
If by any chance...
if those tears are fake...
you'll die in my hands.
Bong Sam, you stepped into this by yourself.
What's Jo Seung Joon? Whether he's your past Merchant Elder or something else, you should have reported him as soon as you found out he was a bandit.
Your useless fondness is going to the be the thing that kills you, you rascal.
You must
take responsibility for those words.
If you're lying about my older sister,
you'll die...by me.
I'll give you some medicine so you should rest.
This is not satisfying. I don't like it.
I'm old too. I don't like getting blood on my hands.
The Chief of Tax Collection Office said he owes you for this.
Is that so?
Exactly what is it that hyungnim wants?
He's saying you must deal with the Captain seriously for the missing 2000 sacks of grains.
I understand.
Just wait for Chun Bong Sam to say they worked together with the bandits.
He has to confess so we can persecute him, hang him, or do whatever.
I'll take care of it.
That's Kim Bo Hyeon's assets ledgers.
Kim Hak Joon has meticulously recorded how
much money he stole from the nation's treasury.
It's the sole item that can save my younger brother.
You could die through this.
Sister-in-law, Bong Sam saved this life of mine anyway.
No one can endure 3-days of beating.
Hurry. What are you doing? Hurry up and go!
I know that
if I'm late, Bong Sam's head will fall off.

The air is cold, Great Head Merchant Elder.
I'm fine. I have to be healthy
so I can live until my son becomes a great merchant.
Great Head Merchant!
My Lord!
Ah, what brings you here so early in the morning?
It isn't the time to be doing exercises like that right now.
You and I are about to die right now.
Something happened to Tax Freighter?
That man, that son of Chun Oh Soo.
That Chun Bong Sam worked together with the bandits and stole the rice used for tax!
What?
An urgent message just arrived from Gunsan Port.
Once the morning meeting starts, the Majesty would know about it too.
Why don't you say something, Great Head Merchant?
Everyone, leave.
I told you that Chun Bong Sam stole 2,000 sacks of rice!
Are you telling me to believe those words?
If you don't, then what are you going to do?
Well...well, even if I don't trust it,
there's nothing I can do.
Since you are the one appointed the Captain,
I felt the need to notify you before I kill him.
My Lady!
Exactly what happened?
What should we do?
The Merchant Elder is about to die.
He stole the rice used for taxes? He's not someone who would do that.
Nobles with power can do anything.
They're probably making a crime up and framing him for it.
You can't go to the Great Head Merchant Elder.
Then what should I do?
What other method do I have when I'm powerless?
I have no other choice but to bow my head to the ground in front of the Great Head Merchant Elder's feet and beg for him to be spared.
He'll die, you'll die, and the child inside your stomach will die.
You can't.
How can you eat porridge right now?!
There is someone who is ruining almost completed plan!
2000 sacks of tax grains are worth 100,000 nyang.
And if you sell them to the Japanese smugglers, you'd get 1-million nyang easily.
So?
Don't you think Chun Bong Sam has a big set of cahoonas?
He tries to steal 1-million nyangs from me, Shin Suk Joo?
Transporting the tax grains is your responsibility anyway.
Either it is 100,000 nyangs or 1-million nyangs, you'd have to cover the shortage.
Although I don't know what crime Maeng Goo Beom committed,
you were sharp and firm when you cut his tongue out and chased him out.
Why are you so weak to Chun Bong Sam?
Ehay!
Ah, sit. Sit.
So...your morning sickness gotten any better?
I heard there's some western snacks in Chilpae Market.
I'll get you some of those.
Great Head Merchant Elder.
Before a human opens their mouth,
they should ask themselves first.
"Are these words going to become a blessing or a curse to me?"
"Are the words I'm saying right now going to kill me or save me?"
Rather than spewing words out,
it's better to just swallow those words.
People don't know that.
Great Head Merchant Elder.
I'll pretend I didn't hear it.
Great Head Merchant Elder.
I have something to tell you.
I said I'm going to pretend I didn't hear it!
Great Head Merchant.
I'm seeing you often today.
Lord, did the Majesty find out about the tax grains incident?
Don't even talk about it. The meeting today was chaotic.
Goodness.
We just gave the Majesty a huge political power.
My Lord, you should kill.
Who? Chun Bong Sam? You want me to kill Chun Bong Sam?
No matter who took the grains, ultimately it is the Captain's responsibility.
Kill Chun Bong Sam.
Mother.
What is it?
I heard that the tax grains freighter got capsized.
You know that captain, right?
Bong Sam? Chun Bong Sam?
What was that name?
Don't drag it out! What are you saying he did?
He worked together with the bandits and took 2,000 sacks of rice used for tax.
What?
Stop it!
Exactly how many days has this been?
Why is it so hard to get a confession?
There is already evidence that you people worked together with the bandits!
No.
We...never worked together with the bandits.
We are accused wrongly. We didn't do it.
It's not us.
Then are you saying you really don't know the bandits at all?
We have met before...but it was as a Merchant Elder and not a bandit.
We met because I used serve him as a salesman.
Same difference!
It's true. Spare us.
Please spare us.
Please spare us!
White bird should not join in black crowes playing.(chance for misunderstanding)
You guys are all in on it together!
We...are not crows.
We're not crows. We're workers of the boat that transports the rice taxes.
This won't do.
Until they confess, burn them more so their skin bursts!
Teacher Bong.
Teacher Bong, I have a favor.
I got, I got it.
I...don't think I can endure anymore.
The words "We did collude with the bandits" are trying to come out of my throat.
Are you crazy?
If you say those words, your head will fly off immediately.
They kept us alive because we haven't said those words.
That's why, that's why...if it looks like I'm about to say those words,
you need to see and just kill me.
I don't have any regrets. I'm serious.
I had fun doing business with Bong Sam.
Although it's a pity that I have to leave without seeing our Teacher Bong take back the Songpa Stable, I'm fine.
Are you okay?!
Are you okay?
I'm afraid of a lot of things!
Everyone can't die just because I carelessly open my mouth!
So, Bong Sam...with your own hands, okay?
You have to choke me.
Here...ah, right. We don't do this, here.
Bong Sam...
You won't die.
I said you won't die.
You won't die.
Mother!
His Lordship said he was going to be late.
The Tax Collection Office is turned upside down because of the tax freighter.
What about going back home and returning tomorrow?
My Lord, are you okay?! This bastard-
How dare you?!
I came from Gunsan Port.
Did Gil Saeng Won send you?
Kim Hak Joon's concubine was Chun Bong Sam's older sister?
Ahh!!!!!
The daughter of Chun Oh Soo dares to threaten me?
She said that if Chun Bong Sam dies,
the remaining 5 record books will be sent to Lord Min Gyeom Ho.
This bastard! This bastard!
You bastard!
My Lord!
Do you want to die right now?!
You can kill me if you want,
but please spare Chun Bong Sam.
My Lord...
Please spare my friend Chun Bong Sam.
Chun Bong Sam, Chun Bong Sam! Why are those 3 syllables of a name bothering me so much?!
-Open it.-Yes, yes.
This bastard, really-
-My Lord!-What is it?
This is a promissory note under Kim Hak Joon of Exchange Merchant.
It is for 1-million nyang.
That's the price for Chun Bong Sam's life.
You should at least go into the room and apply some medicine or wipe up the blood.
Is this something to laugh about, Your Highness?
Early this morning on the National Shrine yard,
I looked down on your house.
I saw rainbow on your roof.
Congratulations.
What congratulations? Did you not understand my words?
I am in a bad spot now.
By any chance, are you suspecting my words?
Aigoo, how can that be?
Um...You Highness, what should I do?
You see, the thing about the money is...
it is hard to get because you are looking up to pick like you are picking persimmons.
Just grab it.
You have huge sum of money below your feet now.
All you have to do it sweep it in with a broom.
Why are you stressing so much over Chun Bong Sam's mere life?
Either way, will the Great Head Merchant spare him when he returns to the Seogwang Port?
You should spare him and pretend not to know anything.
I'm telling you to just collect the money!
Are you telling me to hand over the sword to Shin Suk Joo?
I'm sorry, Bong Sam.
For...for abandoning you.
I'm sorry.
Noona...you're okay, right?
You ran away safely with the Merchant Elder, right?
Right, noona?
Noona.

Deuk Gae, I won't forget you.
I'm sorry.
You were here again?
Did Sun Dol return?
I send my subordinate to ask a prison guard.
He said that tonight, they'll try to get a confession using whatever method they need to.
What shall we do Bong Sam's Noonim?
I'll...go to the Investigation Bureau and turn myself in.
Even if you do that, will they let Bong Sam go?
I have to meet Gil So Gae.
You can't. That's dangerous.
Sun Dol...we have to buy time until Sun Dol arrives.
Please find out where Gil So Gae is.
Choi Dol hyung! Gom Bae...
It's all up to you whether they die or stay alive.
I think it's up to you whether we die or not.
The order is issued to end the interrogation.
Unless you confess, all of you will be tortured to death today.
What do you mean by "it's up to me"?
Let's end it with just you.
If you confess that you worked together with the bandits by yourself and stole 2,000 sacks of rice used for taxes,
I'll negotiate them to be the slaves.
Isn't that better than all of you dying?
Sir Saeng Won! Sir Saeng Won!
What is it?
Someone asked this to be delivered to you.
T-this...
This...this is my older sister's. It's Chun So Rye's.
That's Chun So Rye's!
Drag the criminal away.
Hyung...why...why did my older sister...why did she send this to you?
Why did my older sister...why did she give this to you?
So Gae hyung! Why? Why?!
Orabeoni, you came.
What is this all about?
Orabeoni, what is that you want?
Money? Will 1-million nyangs will do?
1-million nyangs...
It's tempting but I don't want it.
I might end up like Kim Hak Joon after receiving the money you stole from Kim Hak Joon.
Was there...not a time when you missed me?
So Rye...I'm not 17.
You are also not the Chun So Rye you were before.
While living as Kim Hak Joon's concubine, I always
missed you, orabeoni.
I can't save Bong Sam.
Let's talk about Bong Sam later.
Right now...you and me. Let's just talk about us now.
[The Merchant: Gaeju 2015]
Everything was taken away by him?!
Take Gil Saeng Won as your General Manager.
I am handling the Songpa Stable's liquidation.
Are you the Merchant Elder?
You are quite pathetic bastard!
Capture Chun Bong Sam!
How could I just watch how he dies?
I came because your life is dependent on this, Chun Bong Sam!
