[Episode 12]
It sure stinks here.
Six Ghost, stop playing around and let's really fight.
What did you say?
Watching what you guys do, I don't even want to be a human anymore.
I want to rip your limbs off and kill you right now.
But I'm making an effort to hold back.
So, stop this playing around and let's really go for it.
Do you want to die?
That's right.
You should come at me like this in order for me to kill you.
That's enough.
It's been a long time.
Baek Dae Gil.
Seol Im.
Are you here to kill Six Ghost?
What is it?
Are you surprised to see me like this?
What is Cutter's plaything doing here?
It wouldn't look good to get an ax wound on this nice face of yours.
My master has a message for you.
Even if you lose everything, at least keep your life.
Don't hang around here and get lost, you wench.
I can't do that.
I was told to make sure you live.
We need to talk.
Let go of my hand.
The Seol Im that you knew no longer exists.
I belong to Cutter now.
Stop the chatting and let's get started.
I see I'm not late.
Gosh, another annoying person has shown up.
What now?
There was a fun game happening. I could not miss out on it.
Good luck to you both.
By tomorrow, word will have spread everywhere.
I'm sure it will.
That the mighty Six Ghost is a thing of the past.
What are we betting on?
There are 12 rural gambling rooms I took from Yi In Jwa.
The documents will show that they are all worth 10,000 nyang.
On top of that, I will bet my life.
You're coming on strong.
Then what should I bet?
The ownership of this gambling room.
And... your life.
All right.
A man has his pride and can't back down.
I'm sorry to get in the middle of an interesting bet.
But why not give the viewers an opportunity as well?
I want to bet on the winner.
Isn't that what betting is about?
I feel envious watching the two of you hogging all of the enjoyment.
What are you up to?
Make your bet.
You should bet if you want to.
How much is that?
It's 5,000 nyang.
Hey, Scholar Baek Myun. I think you're making a mistake.
Yes.
There is an order to heading down the path to the afterlife.
Are you ready?
Let's get started.
I thought I'd die from the wait.
[Hwang Jin Ki]
Prince.
Who are you?
Do you know me?
Of course I do.
Is this what you're looking for?
Hwang Jin Ki.
Wow, an important person such as yourself knows who I am?
I am very honored.
You were a military officer.
Now, you've become Yi In Jwa's dog.
Dog? I'm no such thing.
What? Are you scared?
I haven't even drawn my sword yet.
One life for one Buddha.
You want to go our separate ways?
You go after Six Ghost and i'll go into his safe to get the documents.
Your Highness.
Open that door before I break it down.
I thought about it.
It will be hard to move all of the documents in this room by myself.
Why don't you give me a hand?
I'll pay you more than enough for it.
What? You don't want to?
What do you think you're up to?
I guess that's a no.
I suppose there's nothing I can do, then.
And this?
You can have it.
So...
we're done talking, then.
Now... this game will be over if I get a double six.
You know what's next, right?
Being damn lucky. That's just me.
It isn't a double six, so this game doesn't end.
What will you do?
Did you break it with your hand?
I don't know anything about that.
It's null anyhow.
What do you mean null? Says who?
Null is correct.
If a die breaks, you must throw again.
Those are the basic rules of the game. Don't you know that?
Bring us some new dice.
Are these dice rigged?
What are you saying?
I think they might only roll double sixes.
Change them.
Change them!
Hey!
Stop playing around.
Playing around?
My life depends on this game and you say I'm playing around?
Don't use dice from this gambling room.
Use some cheap ones from the street.
Does anyone here have dice?
Are you satisfied?
Yes.
You do know...
if I roll a double six, it's done.
Your throat is mine.
You're dead!
Hey, Six Ghost.
Since things turned out this way, why not make it more interesting?
If you roll double three, then I win.
If you don't roll double three, you win everything.
What did you say?
If it's not double three, I win everything?
However, if I do win...
I get the lives of all those people.
Why, you little rascal...
You have the most guts I've seen in Joseon.
Do you have confidence?
What is it? Are you scared?
Look at this kid.
Fine.
I'll give you all of them if this is a double three.
Show us what you've got.
Wait.
Six Ghost... you could lose everything in one round.
Scholar Baek Myun, it's me, Six Ghost.
I am Six Ghost!
All right, then...
What is this?
Hand it over now.
All that money you swallowed up.
All of the blood and sweat of hard work you exploited!
Give it all back!
Who the hell are you?
I told you.
I'm a guy who is damn lucky.
You piece of crap!
Have you ever killed a man?
Don't just pretend to be a tough guy.
Try and kill me.
Try it, you scoundrel.
Don't be mistaken.
It's not that I can't kill you.
It's that I'm stepping aside...
for them.
Give us back our money.
Give it back! Give back our money!
Give it back!
You're all lowlife critters!
Do you want to die?
Die.
This is payback for my father and mother.
Should I tell you one thing?
About how your father died?
This is my last bet.
I put drugs in his drink.
And how are you feeling?
What did you say?
I stayed by Cutter to get revenge on you.
I held back my bloody tears and endured in order to get you.
In order to get my revenge!
To get my revenge!
Kill Six Ghost!
Kill him!
Your master is getting attacked.
Are you all just going to stand and watch?
Did you think I wouldn't have prepared at least this much?
Is that you, Your Highness?
What brings you here?
And what brings you here?
I came to witness the last moments of Seosomun's Six Ghost.
Isn't Six Ghost one of your people?
How could trash like that be one of my people?
Your Highness, I know you are busy with your duties.
However, you should always be thinking.
Have you forgotten anything or lost track of anything?
There's a saying that you should knock on a stone bridge before crossing.
What are you trying to say?
I should get going.
Ah, about the punch you gave me last time...
I will return it to you twofold or threefold.
You may very well have to lay down everything that you have.
I will get going now.
I will see you again, then.
Your Highness.
Please stop!
This is assault!
Have you all forgotten about the law?
He is not a human? He's an animal!
He is not fit to be called an animal!
Kill him, kill him!
I will apologize.
Your Highness, Your Highness.
For the sin of putting the people of this nation through this indignity.
For the sin of being unable to see your tears.
And for the sin of making you fall to the bottom.
On behalf of the king, Crown Prince...
and all of the government officials.
I will apologize.
So...
please stop now.
Your Highness, please get up now.
All of the human trafficking and illegal slavery documents are gone now.
Take these people and leave this place.
This evil gambling room will soon--
Fire!
It's a fire.
There's a fire. Hurry, get out!
Fire! It's a fire.
Get out of here. Hurry!
Arrest him now.
Yes, Your Highness.
I won't take one step out of this gambling room.
Even if I die, I want my bones here.
He's dead. He's finally dead!
He'll get his due punishment.
I feel alive now!
Mom and Dad. Are you watching this from heaven?
Let's get going now.
[Small Merchants Union] What are you saying?
I put my life at risk and saved you from Six Ghost.
Now you're telling me you no longer have the accounting book?
[Baek Joong Ki (Union Leader)] Even if my life were saved
I wondered how I would make a living.
How can I blame you?
The person who took the accounting book...
is named Gol Sa?
Dae Gil, I heard the rumors already.
I was a famous gambler in all the eight cities back in my day, after all.
Did you think I wouldn't hear it about it?
Who is that young lady, by the way?
I'm Seol Im. Gye Seol Im.
Seol Im?
Are you sure it's not "Seol Rem"? (also means "thrill of romance")
So, what do you do?
Are you in a romantic relationship with Dae Gil?
Is it something like that?
What nonsense. It's not like that.
If it's not like that, why bring around a grown woman?
We have our reasons.
What reasons between a man and a woman?
And are your parents still around?
They passed away a long time ago because of Six Ghost.
Everything's all right now though.
It's all thanks to Dae Gil.
Yes.
How old are you?
I turned 20 this year.
Oh, that's the perfect age.
Grandpa, it's not what you're thinking, so just eat quietly.
Hey, kid. Are you a human or a pig?
Can you eat with this beautiful girl in front of you?
Here you go. Go on and eat.
Oh dear, what are you doing?
Your pretty hands will get ruined.
Leave it and go inside.
I should repay you for the meal.
I'll clean up for today. Go inside and rest.
I thought your face was pretty, but your heart is, as well.
Dae Gil, you must have brought her here for a reason.
Why don't you just have a wedding--
Gosh! I told you it's not like that.
That kid...
I heard the rumors.
Won't there be any trouble for you, my lord?
Some trash has been disposed of. What trouble could that bring me?
I heard that you put your money on Baek Dae Gil.
What you see is not everything.
Rather than pouring water into a jar that's about to break
is it not wiser to keep the water you have left safe?
Everyone is waiting for you.
Let's go.
Your clear-sightedness is quite admirable.
Just how were you able to determine Yeoning's whereabouts so precisely?
It is nothing but a trick of mine.
By the way, what have you brought there?
Did you not empty your storerooms because of me?
Open up my storerooms to the people?
Yes.
Therefore, those storerooms that you emptied for the people...
I will fill them for you again.
You will fill them up again?
While we gain the favor of the people.
It was all of you who emptied your storerooms.
It is only right that I re-fill them, of course.
You are truly great. You really are.
My lord, have you met with the Crown Prince?
I have.
That also went exactly as you said it would.
Then, right about now...
Crown Prince, have I heard you correctly?
Yes, you have.
From this point forward
I will dismantle the Office of the Inspector General.
But why...
What is the reason for this?
You involved yourself with the personal affairs of the citizens.
Of course, there was the issue at the Seosomun gambling room.
I heard that a person died.
On top of all that...
I heard that you got on your knees.
You got on your knees on behalf of the king.
It is not that I don't understand why you did it.
But do you know how dangerous your immature actions are?
Who are you to hurt the king's dignity?
Who are you to...
Who are you to dare to apologize on my behalf?
Even if you had a hundred mouths, you have no excuses.
Give up all of your positions.
Keep your head down and be cautious for now.
Yes.
Crown Prince.
[Kim Chang Jib]
What a relief it is.
Yeoning, who had been so strong, has had his wings cut off.
He will not be able to abolish the license ban on small merchants.
That's not true.
This is not enough.
There are many eyes watching you outside of this palace.
Caution and caution, yet again.
I have no words.
Your Highness.
Do not be so downtrodden and lift your shoulders.
Meet with the king.
Meet with the king and request help.
The only person who can help you...
is the king.
[Sukjong]
What brings you here?
I...
have come to heed your advice, Father.
That is why I've come to you.
[Yeonryung (Sukjong's sixth son)]
Advice?
Did you say advice?
I gave you a sword and you, stupid boy, used it to stab yourself in the foot.
So what advice are you asking for now?
Huh?
Why don't you step outside?
Being an official in the Office of the Inspector General...
What does it even mean to you?
Is there really nothing you can do if you don't have that position?
I asked you if there is nothing there without that measly shell.
When it comes to public opinion...
it is similar to that of the water in this bowl.
The water sways to the side the bowl leans.
Are you the water or the bowl?
It is in your hands where the water is to be poured.
So why...
are you being swayed around without a bowl?
Whether you die or live...
act as if you have a bowl.
Father, your advice...
I will hold it deeply in my heart.
I feel very frustrated.
Do you know where Baek Dae Gil's home is?
After we parted back then...
I really had nowhere to go.
I was going to use my life that you saved to get revenge for my parents.
And I figured that I would die too.
Gosh.
Don't touch the girl.
I went to Cutter that day.
I said I'd stay with him until I killed Six Ghost.
It's all over now.
I'm going to go tell Cutter.
And tell him I'm leaving.
I'm sorry.
Last night...
I cleaned up the mess last night.
So how can you two be drinking and relaxing?
Oh... from yesterday?
Who are you?
What is wrong with everyone around you?
Don't they have any proper etiquette?
I am older than you.
Why is that so important? We are friends.
What?
He said you're friends.
Dae Gil, you have friends like this?
Friend, you say...
Call me "Older brother."
What did you say?
What problems are you going through? It's written on your face.
Isn't that why you've come to talk to your brother?
Just let it all out to him.
Do you even know who I am?
What? Are you the prince or something?
That's right. I am.
He is the prince.
Tell me what you came to talk about.
I want to cut off Yi In Jwa's arms and legs.
Are you thinking of going after Gol Sa's gambling room in Mapo?
- About Gol Sa-- - Arms.
Why do you care if I go after Gol Sa or not?
Why? Are you worried about me?
No need to worry.
What? You...
I'd like a cut of what your take is.
Tell me so I understand.
I want to abolish the License Ban on Smaller Merchants.
My goal is to cut off Yi In Jwa's money source in that way.
License Ban on Smaller Merchants...
It's an immoral law that makes it difficult for small merchants to live.
Anyway, I need the accounting book with records of the corruption.
Gol Sa has it right now.
Can I say something?
Put your arms down.
About Gol Sa...
I heard something about him.
Gol Sa!
Gol Sa... Gol Sa.
Where is Gol Sa?
I'll kill him. Where is he?
Gol Sa!
Oh dear.
I have two bad people in my life that I just can't forget.
The second is Scholar Baek Myun, Yi In Jwa.
And the first person is... Gol Sa.
My eye... Gol Sa is the one who took it out.
That day, I admit I was trying to cheat and rig the game.
I got eights.
Old man...
You know what happens in this if you cheat, right?
Wait, I can't lose my hand.
How can I touch money or a woman again?
That's why...
I have no interest in your hand.
But I am liking your eyeball.
But there is something I heard.
What is Gol Sa's special skill?
He's a manufacturer, so I can't really say.
A manufacturer?
Dominos, double sixes, and cards.
He can make anything exactly how the client asks him to.
But that was in the past.
Now, he's a man of power who holds the rights of commerce of Mapo in his hands.
Even the officials that run the ships...
they become like mice in front of a cat when facing Gol Sa.
Without Gol Sa's permission, you cannot put one chestnut on a boat.
In Mapo, at least, Gol Sa is like a king.
If we can get Gol Sa, then Yi In Jwa will be weakened.
Of course, he will.
If you ranked Yi In Jwa's money sources, the merchants are number one.
Hong Mae's gambling room is number two.
Third would be Gol Sa and his payments.
Let me get a word in already.
They say Gol Sa has a child.
They say she's being kept somewhere.
She's been taken hostage by Scholar Baek Myun.
Gol Sa and his rights of commerce over Mapo.
Yi In Jwa gets paid back 150 percent.
But this deal was made because his child is being held hostage?
What if there is no longer a hostage?
Where could that hostage be?
An attack? Would we need to do that?
We have you, Your Highness.
Oh my, I'm dying.
- Save me! - Are you all right?
Stand up. Try standing up.
Get lost, would you?
Oh... oh my goodness!
My mouth and eyes are suddenly acting funny.
Oh dear!
- Old man... - Help.
Do a good job, Your Highness.
Are you all right?
Can you pound the back of my neck?
Oh... now I feel better.
This happens to me every couple of weeks.
Oh, I think I'll take a look in the gambling room while I'm here.
You want to become a gisaeng at Wolhyanggak?
Your face is more than good enough.
Where were you before?
I was a successful gisaeng in Busan.
All right, then.
Do you have any special skills?
If it's not over here...
Your skills are very good, but your physiognomy shows stubbornness.
- What? - Wait, no...
It's not stubbornness and a lack of real connections with others.
Could it be Baek Ho Dae Sal?
I do see that. You are kind to others but no one is a friend.
You hold a toxic and ruthless spirit inside your young body.
Anyone who touches flesh with you will have trouble avoiding death.
What do you think?
Am I wrong?
You should leave.
Baek Ho Dae Sal...
Of all the horoscopes, it is the most atrocious one.
Should I teach you?
The way to pull out that fate that is embedded in your body.
Who is it?
You must be someone who knows martial arts.
There is nothing in this room.
If you are a petty thief, leave this place.
I won!
Why have you come to me now?
I have won. I won!
What is this?
This isn't your first time playing, so why are you making such a fuss?
What fuss am I making?
Look here, Hong Mae.
It's been years since I've played.
Look at this money!
This beautiful money. My cute money.
I had a good time playing a round.
Who are you?
Do you know Gol Sa?
I asked you first, so why aren't you answering me?
Are you inside?
What is it?
I brought you the books you wanted to read.
Let me know if you need anything.
There is nothing.
All right.
I'll save you, so let's leave together.
Do you even know who I am?
The daughter whom Gol Sa treasures.
You're quite something.
You can figure out a person merely by the sound of their footsteps.
I don't know who you are.
But I do believe you're mistaken.
I'm not here at Wolhyanggak as a hostage.
If you do not want your father to die, you will have to stay put quietly.
As you can see, no one is guarding me.
I can leave whenever I please.
So, I am not being held here.
Then I guess you won't care.
Gol Sa will die by my hand.
You must have heard the rumors about the end of Seosumun's Six Ghost.
It was me who crushed Six Ghost.
Baek Dae Gil.
Are you here? Baek Man Geum's son.
