[Episode 6]
So, are you awake now?
It took me a whole day to find you.
How did you end up all the way over here?
Who...
Who?
We have a long history of fighting each other.
Oh my, look at his eyes.
Have you really lost your memory?
If you've really lost your memory, this changes things.
Who is this?
This here is a devil that feeds on humans.
You're going to go through hell now.
I asked you who he is.
He's a slave.
He was running away and I caught him.
What do you think? I'll sell him to you for 10 nyang.
- Five nyang. - Five nyang?
You've become really cheap since you started only dealing in salt.
Take the five nyang while I'm offering it.
Otherwise, take him.
I can roll around in crap in a paddy field, but I can beat you.
I'll take five nyang, then.
I have a condition though.
Don't let him return to Hanyang until I come back for him.
Work him like crazy in the salt fields.
Until his eyes become like stones, all right?
How many fingers is this?
Oh my!
I'll take this as payment for treating you.
Just make him suitable for work.
I'm sure I can find use for him.
Who are you?
Where is this?
Everyone says that you're a half-wit.
Don't you even know your name?
My name?
You must have really lost your memory.
Anyways, it was nice to meet you.
My name is Seo Rim. Gae Seo Rim.
Seo Rim, where have you gone now?
See you later.
You're good looking.
Look over there.
That man over there is the owner of this salt field.
His nickname is The Demon.
He has made perfectly normal people into cripples, so be careful.
Do you understand?
Is The Demon here?
Why are you so late?
You'll be useful soon.
Everyone was sold here for modest amounts of money.
Now, they all work to death.
But no matter how hard they work, they can't pay back those debts.
They all end up dying.
How much were you?
I was sold for only 20 nyang.
I've worked for two years and I haven't even paid back half.
You see that?
10 nyang each.
30 nyang in total. What do you think?
If you work to death and lose strength, you get sold off like that.
Still, that's better.
Most people die here.
You either work here and die or get flogged and die.
If not either of those...
you starve to death.
- Oh, Father! - What are you doing!
Father!
It won't do any good to go.
Seo Rim is right about that.
Follow me.
What do you think you're doing?
Who brought me to this place?
Why do you need to know that?
My name... what's my name?
Your name is "Half-wit" and you belong to me now.
See? You owe me 45 nyang.
Baek Dae Gil... my name?
You will never get out of this place until you pay all of this back.
Do you get it?
And if I say no?
Why, you little... I think I've heard enough of this.
You must think I'm a fool.
Step on it.
Who do you think you're glaring at?
If you want to pay it back quickly, get up and start working.
Move faster! Faster!
Move quickly!
Hustle now!
Don't even think about running away if you want to eat!
Get moving!
Half-wit! Why aren't you working?
Here, eat this.
Father, have some more.
You should eat it.
Grandpa, don't be like that. Eat more.
You eat it.
There's nothing you can do.
We have to eat this salt rice to live.
What is it?
Don't you remember? You gave this to me.
What?
Why would I?
Come on, now. Are we strangers?
Kill him.
You all know by now.
If you get caught running away from here, you will die on that day.
What are you doing?
Cut his throat and feed him to the pigs.
Yes, sir.
Save my son!
Please let him live!
Father.
My son, my son!
Please save my son.
My son!
Let go of me.
Father!
My son!
No!
Why do you have that look in your eyes?
Why? Do you want to die too?
Starve Half-wit, starting today.
Yes, sir.
Mother.
You must be busy day and night, so what brings you by?
For what reason did you see the shaman from Wolhyanggak?
[Choi Sukbin]
Year of the Rooster, October 13.
Whose horoscope information is this?
It is not something with which you should be concerned.
If it's October, Year of the Rooster
that would be my brother who was born prematurely and died before I was born.
Why is Mother looking into the horoscope of my dead brother?
Why is His Highness so quiet today?
Yes, I am doing some thinking today, so let us drink quietly.
Thinking? You, Your Highness?
The biggest playboy in the nation deep in thought.
A dog passing by would laugh.
My Lord, over here.
All right, let's have a good time, then!
Go on and speak.
What is it?
Is there something you can't tell your mother?
Mother...
What is your reason for looking into the horoscope of my dead brother?
What if that child had lived?
What kind of life would he be living now?
I was only curious.
What other reason would I have?
Why? Is there something else you want to ask me?
No.
Your Highness.
[Sukjong]
Did you ask for me, Father?
Do you want to become king?
That is utterly unjust, Your Majesty.
You are bright and you are superior, so tell me...
why do you live like a degenerate?
It must have been your mother who told you to live that way.
Keep your distance from politics and stay close to alcohol and women.
That way you can avoid the eyes of the ministers who are like wolves.
Then you can plan for succession and claim the throne.
Isn't that right?
No, Father.
I merely want serve you while you rule forever...
Put away those nonsense words.
And answer my question.
If I give up my throne, will you sit...
and do you wish to be king?
That is not right, Father.
My brother is the Crown Prince, so how could I--
How can you be so dense?
What law says the Crown Prince must become the king?
I am coming to you and putting aside all of my pride.
And I am asking you about abdicating the throne to you.
Come closer.
Whether you become a good and wise king like Sejong or a monster like Yeonsan
that is up to you.
So then...
will you do it or not?
What law says the Crown Prince must become the king?
I am coming to you and putting aside all of my pride.
And I am asking you about abdicating the throne to you.
Your Majesty.
There is great opposition from landowners against the Rice Grain Tax.
What do you think about debating this issue and amending the law?
I agree with him.
It is too early to implement this tax nationwide.
Yes, yes.
Look at the lot of them...
All right, then.
My eyes are so bad.
It's difficult for me to read.
Now, I'm even losing my hearing.
I am having a hard time hearing all of your valuable opinions.
Crown Prince.
What do you think about this?
Yes, it seems that you have overworked yourself.
We should request a doctor to make a visit.
I will abdicate the throne.
No, Your Majesty!
Please withdraw your decision.
Your Majesty, that is a decision that will shock the world.
You are still so healthy. Why would you abdicate?
Please withdraw your order!
- Please withdraw your order. - Withdraw your order!
My eyes are bad and my hearing is poor, so I want to leave the throne.
If you all say no...
then our Crown Prince can become Crown Prince Regent.
No! Please withdraw your command!
No, Your Majesty.
Please withdraw your command.
If you gain one thing...
you must give one thing up, and that's how this world is.
I have no intention to debate this, so stop already!
I...
would prefer to hold a sword rather than wear a crown.
I want to cut off the arms and legs of corrupt officials who exploit citizens.
I will behead the rebels who revolt against the royal family.
I will stand in the path in which you will walk...
and be the first to open it up for you.
Do you think that's as easy as it sounds?
That's harder than becoming a king, kid.
You should know what you're talking about before going on and on.
I am not worthy, Father.
You crazy child.
All right.
Let's see which blade you end up wielding.
I will be watching.
Father, withdraw your command to make me Crown Prince Regent.
Father!
I cannot accept your command.
Please withdraw your command.
Withdraw the command.
When did it start?
Father, what are you referring to?
How long have you been coughing up that blood?
I'm talking about your hemoptysis.
You are not even healthy.
Go on and accept your title as Crown Prince Regent.
Yeoning, why do you look so down?
Are you feeling overwhelmed by matters regarding the Crown Prince Regent?
Are you concerned you are being distanced from the throne?
That you will lose everything?
No.
If there is anything that worries and overwhelms me...
it is only my brother's health.
He has a chronic illness of shaking, fever, and coughing.
He must be looking over his shoulder at Father due to the regent matter.
How will he handle this?
It's as if a mouse were to worry about a cat.
Don't you agree?
Whether it's the fiery temper of the king
or the irritation from ministers.
Or his chronic illness...
Those are all things the Crown Prince must endure and overcome.
They are not matters of your concern.
Brother, Your Highness.
It's been a long time since we've met in this way.
Your Highness.
Accept your title as Crown Prince Regent.
I will become your eyes and ears.
I will become your arms and legs.
Both you and Father...
are placing heavy burdens on me.
Hurry it up!
When will you eat at this rate?
The sun is going down!
Two in the path, one on the left, and one on the right.
Tigers.
[Kim Chae Gun]
- Get going. - Yes, sir.
Who is that?
Be quiet. I'm not trying to kill you.
Get over here. Come on.
What? Is something wrong? You belong to me, don't you?
- Hey! - Why, you!
- Stay still. - Hey!
Let's go.
What's going on? What is it?
What are you doing? Get them now!
Yes, sir!
Get your stuff.
Over there!
If you go up there, you'll become tiger's food.
Where are we going right now?
I heard that there are tigers in this mountain.
That's why we have to climb over it.
Can't we go back?
If we go back now, he might forgive us.
Forgive you?
And what will you do with your life then?
Are you going to dry out like a salt pan and work until you die?
Go by yourself.
If I'm not with you, you can get out of here.
The Demon won't kill me.
No.
We live together and die together.
Let's go together.
You have to go back to your hometown!
Come on!
Just look forward and go. I'll take responsibility for you.
When I count to three, run down this mountain.
Don't ever turn to look behind you.
Just make sure to run.
And you? What are you going to do?
I'll figure something out.
One...
Two...
Three!
Which way is he?
Let's go together.
Half-wit...
What did you just do?
How did you kill a tiger with one sword?
What about you?
Were you planning on killing it with one stick?
Are you brave or just lucky?
If you had been pinned down by the tiger or if you had run...
you would've been tiger food.
On this mountain...
there's another one besides that tiger.
Go back unless you want to die.
Oh my!
Half-wit!
Oh, I thought you were dead.
Are you okay?
What happened here?
If a flogging won't do it... you'll need a taste of some crap.
How does it taste?
If you want to live, just say one thing.
"I am sorry."
"Please let me live."
"I was definitely wrong."
Try it.
Gosh!
You little... you're crazy.
You can't go any lower.
Put that coin from his throat into his mouth.
Hurry!
This is money for you on your way to your afterlife.
Shouldn't the best gambler in Joseon be able to do it with one nyang?
Is it you again?
Water, water. Water!
Who are you?
Should we make a bet?
Whether I live or die?
You should live.
Ask him to let you live.
Then you can live.
I will come back alive.
You can count on it.
Dad, don't worry.
I won't die.
That man who killed you...
Until I take off his head, I will never die.
I can't die.
Are you back, Half-wit?
Look at me.
Your eyes still look lively and out for blood.
You sure talk a lot.
Is that why your nickname is The Demon?
Yeah? Let's see if you can still say that once your arms and legs are broken.
Break his arms and legs.
And poke his eyes out with a fiery rod.
What do you want?
Money?
Then I'll help you get more money than a person who owns lots of land.
What is he going on and on about?
That.
He won?
How did you do it?
Wow! What was that?
How did you do that?
I did it well. That's how.
Here, look at this.
Tada!
What?
Here, I want you to try it too.
Don't let him return to Hanyang until I come back for him.
Half-wit here is a card shark.
What do you think?
Why don't we go to Hanyang and win some big money?
Wash up.
I'm coming in.
What kind of girl are you? Don't you know when to be embarrassed?
Thank you. Thank you so much.
If it weren't for you... I don't know what I would've done.
I really would have bitten my tongue and died.
How did you end up here?
That day my dad even bought me a pair of rings.
But instead of betting money on gambling, he bet my hand.
And then he died.
Do you know what makes it more bitter, though?
Still...
I miss him... my dad.
Dad.
This is all because of that gambler.
The only reason I'm holding on like this is to get revenge for my dad and mom.
Until I break his neck...
I can't die.
What about you?
Is your memory back?
Not yet...
Not all of it.
I guess you'll have it back soon.
By the way...
Don't forget me, okay?
You know what will happen if you get any other ideas, right?
Don't worry. I'm just a dog.
A dog that picks up coins.
Let's see if that's true.
Will you be a dog that picks up coins in gambling games?
Or will you be a crazy dog that bites its owner?
Hong Mae! Hong Mae!
- What is it? - Hong Mae...
It's just...
Move! Move, move.
Oh, Hong Mae. Have you been well?
Wow, look at that lovely face of yours.
A poppy would cry.
You rotten... didn't you hear what I said?
- I clearly said-- - You clearly said...
you would come to buy him back, didn't you?
So? Say what you want before you die.
Buy him back like you promised.
Buy him back? For how much?
- 5 nyang? - 500.
500!
You're not joking around with me, are you?
Hey, Hong Mae.
I don't want to see blood here either.
Why don't we play a round with him on the line?
What kind of nonsense is this?
If he loses, everything's good.
I will disappear without a word.
Hong Mae, if you lose, take him back for 500 nyang.
How is that? Nice and clean, right?
He has no memory anyhow.
Don't take your word back when it's done.
I'll hang your head out in the salt field if you do.
No need for such brutality.
All right, then...
Shall we get started?
Do you have more players?
Even the best gambling room in Hanyang is not all that.
Okay.
If anyone cuts off your head, it should be me.
I thought you looked familiar. Do you know me?
Faces of gamblers all look the same.
Don't change the subject and deal the cards.
Everyone, prepare your weapons.
Yes!
Hong Mae is angry again and who knows what she'll do?
What is all this fuss about?
Oh no. We've got a problem now.
[Yi In Jwa]
You're here, my lord. You too, my lady.
Baek Dae Gil...
Let me explain that to you--
I will hear your explanations later.
It's very surprising to see you make an appearance looking so unharmed.
But you manage to survive and you head to a card game?
Do you know me?
Have you lost your memory?
Hey, nobleman lord. I asked you a question.
Do you know me?
You could say that... Baek Dae Gil.
Who are you?
Tell me everything you know.
I'm sorry but...
I cannot tell you.
Well, it was a choice that you made on your own.
You will have to recover your memories, and isn't that your fate as well?
Fine. Then why don't we play a round?
I have to know, you see.
About everything that you know.
Rather than disgrace your noble status by brandishing knives like crazy people
wouldn't this be better?
Why? Is the money not enough for you?
If I lose, I'll even wipe your butt.
Don't worry about it and let's play a round.
You mean that, don't you?
Why don't we declare a winner in one round?
You can select the cards first if you'd like.
If one truly desires something, he can accomplish anything.
Your fate now rests on those cards.
Fate?
That's not something that should come from the mouth of a beast.
Scholar Baek Myun.
No, is it Yi In Jwa?
Did you never lose your memory or did you just recover it?
Why did you kill him?
Why did you kill my father?
That's nine.
Nine.
For this very moment, you must have suffered incredible pain.
It really is too bad.
That's 10.
That's crazy!
Is that all you have?
If you have a hidden card against me, take it out now.
This is a trick.
A trick?
What happens when you use tricks in the gambling room?
If you get caught pulling a trick, you lose a hand.
Isn't that right?
One hand for a trick.
The next time you get caught, it's your throat.
A trick, you say?
Do you have proof?
And if I do?
You should know very well that I didn't play any trick on you.
If you're so confident, roll up your sleeves.
You can live without one hand.
What is it? Are you scared?
Then leave your pride and the money and stand up!
If you insist upon it, I will roll up my sleeves.
But if you are wrong, you will never hear about it...
The very reason why your father Baek Man Geum died.
Hey, Demon. Check his sleeves.
Sorry about this.
Let me see here.
What...
What is this?
This is eight... eight.
He hid the 10 in his sleeves and switched it with the 8.
Was it when he grabbed me by the collar?
We have evidence and you must give up your hand.
What are you doing, Hong Mae? Cut his wrist right now.
Didn't you hear me?
What should I do?
What's so hard about cutting one wrist?
My lord...
I am The Demon... Demon.
Please remember that.
Baek Dae Gil.
What are you doing? Cut it off!

I'm the prince of a nation, but there is nothing I can do.
Are you crying?
Dae Gil!
My face will fall off. Stop touching it.
Amazing! He is walking his path now.
Hey, over there. Are you Yi In Jwa?
You will have a lot to do from now on.
- I know about your past, Your Highness. - You wench.
Please allow me to meet the king.
The king you serve is someone who ought to die.
We will come for his throat.
How could you ask me to do such a thing?
Take out the sword as you please.
