Then you won't care...
if I kill Swindler Golsa.
I'm sure you've heard the rumors about the destruction of the Ace of Sixes.
The one who destroyed the Ace of Sixes was me, Baek Dae Gil. Episode 13
It was you, wearing the mask of the White-Faced Scholar
and destroying the gambling houses in the eight provinces.
Why? Did you change your mind?
No. You are making vain efforts.
No matter how hard you try,
you can't destroy him. That man, Lee In Jwa—
That man, Lee In Jwa! I know him better than you.
I have already confronted him so many times and been beaten so many times as well.
- Then, why again? - Because I have to confront him.
If I don't, nothing will change.
I also know your heart, that you want to save your father.
But, if you just sit still like this, nothing will be solved.
Keep in mind that if you don't do anything,
nothing will change.
Aigoo, it was good.
Seol Im.
The baekhodaesal... (bringer of terrible misfortune)
is the most terrible misfortune among misfortunes.
You have only two choices.
The first is to live alone for the rest of your life, isolating yourself from this mundane world.
Since your misfortune reaches no one,
it is the easiest way.
The other choice is you kill the person you love.
Why? Has something happened?
No. Nothing has happened.
She was an ordinary woman.
What?
I told you she was a woman. Swindler Golsa's child.
I see.
Since you met the man called Baek Dae Gil, have you felt conflicted?
Indeed, you should.
May I tell you a funny story?
Baek Dae Gil was born under the Triple Kill fate, which portends becoming a great leader.
Because you are also good at reading people's fates,
you can understand easily what I mean.
What happened?
Even though I tried to persuade her, I can't tell how she'll react.
A woman herself became Lee In Jwa's hostage for her father.
Since she is very filial, her mind—
No, I never planned at all on making Swindler Golsa act by using his daughter.
I'll act as I intended without regard to her response.
Tomorrow, I'll go break Swindler Golsa.
It won't be easy because he has such powerful influence.
That's right. Do you think you can do it?
It won't be so hard if Your Highness helps me.
How can I?
You said you wanted to put your spoon and fork.
In order to abolish the law of the market monopoly privileges, you must get the ledger from Swindler Golsa.
Why? Did you think you'd get it for free?
- But, what kind of help can I— -By using the Office of the Inspector General,
take care of the people under Swindler Golsa's command.
So I can play a big round with Swindler Golsa.
That
will be difficult.
Right after the destruction of Ace of Sixes, I was removed from the court.
Not only was I removed from my position and rank,
my name was even stricken from the list of government officials.
But it is not that we don't have a way.
Are you confident?
Don't be late tomorrow at Sinshi (3–5 pm)
Well, goodbye.
I'm leaving now, too.
Dog Blade is waiting for me.
Will you come back?
Don't get hurt.
Tomorrow at Sinshi (3–5 pm)?
Dog Blade
I am thankful to you taking care of me in the meantime.
Are you leaving?
It's late night, so leave tomorrow.
Please help me. If you help me, this life—
Your life!
Don't mention your life too easily.
It's not that cheap.
Baek Dae Gil. Baek Dae Gil met her.
Ahh. Old Southern Goblin came to the gambling house today.
I thought he acted weirdly.
They were looking for Swindler Golsa's daughter.
So?
I didn't get involved in it at all because it might cause you trouble.
She is smart so that she won't act carelessly.
But Moo Myeong, you watch her closely.
Yes. My Liege.
By the way, what are you writing?
Today at Sinshi (3–5 pm), I'll come and take Swindler Golsa's neck. Therefore, wait for me.
—Baek Dae Gil.
After copying this, post it all over Hanyang,
North Village, Marketplace, Street of Six Ministries, Jongno, and Mapo as well.
Today at Sinshi (3–5 pm), I'll come and take Swindler Golsa's neck. Therefore, wait for me. —Baek Dae Gil.
What does this mean?
Is it saying he's going to take his neck?
He is a bad guy. Choi Yee Seok (Junior Deputy Left Minister)
If you mention Swindler Golsa, is he a gambler at Mapo?
He is not just a mere gambler.
He is the influential person who controls the movement of ships in and out.
And he acts as a middleman between the chartered merchants and Lee In Jwa.
If he falls, there'll be some damage to our Sorons as well. (Jo Il Su, Junior Right Minister)
Summon Lee In Jwa right now.
Here he comes.
Excellency.
Kim Chang Jip, Prime Minister
Your Highness, did you know about this?
The deed this person called Baek Dae Gil has planned.
Regardless of what Baek Dae Gil does,
I'll catch Lee In Jwa.
Lee In Jwa?!
You don't mean the reason Your Highness raised the topic of abolishing the law of market monopoly privileges
is in fact to catch Lee In Jwa?
Yes.
To catch Lee In Jwa, we need to cut off his collusion with the chartered merchants.
That's why we need to catch the chartered merchants,
and we need the ledger that recorded all their evil deeds.
However, that ledger is in the hands of gambler Swindler Golsa.
By gaining possession of the ledger, and abolishing the merchant monopoly privilege,
you'd cut Lee In Jwa's purse strings.
Really. Just because you take down one gambler,
do you think that rotten fellow Lee In Jwa would even bat an eyelash?
No. Swindler Golsa is not one to be taken lightly.
Isn't Mapo the most bustling area in Joseon?
Make way for Merchant Elder.
The one who has an absolute fiscal monopoly on Mapo is Swindler Golsa.
No article may pass through Mapo Port without his permission.
Even the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Trading officials, who should manage and control it,
have a close political and financial relationship with him.
We cannot overlook this fact. Speaking of which,
Your Excellency needs to help me.
I will influence the Capital Bureau for you.
(Capital Bureau: the regional administrators for the capital, Hanyang)
However, I too have a condition that must be met.
In return for influencing the Capital Bureau,
hand over possession of the ledger to me,
and Your Highness should no longer pursue these matters.
I am telling you to delegate all the remaining affairs to me.
He seems to have a deep relationship with Prince Yeoning, too.
Who exactly is this Baek Dae Gil?
He is the pupil of the former training commander of the civilian militia, Kim Che Geon.
Do you remember the assassination incident created by the Current Crown two years ago?
That's the day that the Current Crown gave him the sword.
But... how is he able to grip the gambling houses as if they're in the palm of his hand?
And how did Prince Yeoning end up associating himself with a guy like him?
The story is quite long. Yet... don't worry too much.
All these
are happening in the palm of these hands.
Today at Sinshi (3–5 pm), I'll come and take Swindler Golsa's neck. Therefore, wait for me. —Baek Dae Gil.
Royal Noble Consort Sook of the Haeju Choi clan
It is Baek Dae Gil King Sookjong
It seems that those two fellows are baring their teeth
at Lee In Jwa.
Truly, it looks like a dangerous situation.
Right now,
I am asking if you'll be okay.
What are you talking about, Your Majesty?
The two fellows who might be brothers...
What're you going to do if this and that cause them to end up grinding their swords at each other?
Please resolve it.
If it doesn't get resolved, then cut out the situation.
Since you, Lady Sook Bin, are the mother of those two,
and the start of it all.
Your Highness. Your Highness.
Capital Bureau
I will influence the Capital Bureau for you.
How many people in all are under the Capital Bureau?
Port of Mapo
What's the time now?
I have an important appointment today, so...
- Get him! - Halt!
Arrest them all!
What is this matter at the Capital Bureau?
- Your Highness. - As an official who receives a stipend by working for the public,
have you no shame?
Arrest them. Confiscate the maritime ledgers of the Ministry of Transport and Maritime Trading,
- and the transshipment ledgers! - Yes, Sir.
Since I have set the stage, the rest is up to you.
Today at Sinshi (3–5 pm), I'll come and take Swindler Golsa's neck. Therefore, wait for me. —Baek Dae Gil.
It is Sinshi (3–5 pm)
You keep appointments on the dot.
It feels like I've become the King himself, seeing how you welcome me so.
It's nothing.
Hey, hey, why are you treating our guest like that?
Dominoes. Your specialty from the start, I see.
It's only just an appetizer.
And to find out a bit about your skill level...
- You're familiar with the rules right? - I do know them but...
I'm going easy on you because it's the first round.
The dominoes of this side are made from ox horns,
and the ones of that side are made from ivory.
They are double the price, and feel completely different too.
I see you've caught on.
This gambling house is fun.
Three are made from the paulownia tree, one from oak,
and
one made of mulberry that always gives a yut.
In the game of yut, when all four sticks land with flat side up, that is "yut," which is worth four steps forward.
A gambling card with a metal pin is invalid.
What is this?
This gambling house itself is just a game of deceit, isn't it?
What? Do you want me to reveal more?
Stop it.
I've seen enough of your skills already.
Do it for real.
You confirm.
Same weight and same texture. Impossible to distinguish.
These are real.
So let's have a proper game.
So why did you put up the posters?
Though it's great, I became famous thanks to you.
It wasn't your work, trying to catch me?
Why would I?
You're trying to get out of it now?
So it wasn't you who put up the posters?
State the rules.
The double ten is the highest card.
And of course, no swindle.
Just that
there's one rule
that exists only in our Mapo gambling den.
Card stealing.
Card stealing?
Before you reveal your card,
you can switch your card with the opponent's card once.
The two can switch cards with each other?
Take two rounds out of three rounds and you're the winner.
The cards have been shuffled, so you go first.
I won't switch.
Then I...
Well, this is fishy.
Well, I'll go with my cards too then.
So should we reveal?
Double twos.
What are you doing? Go ahead.
Ten and three.
These are trash cards. Three points.
So you'll lose the first round to me?
Two out of three means just one to go.
Don't be so sure.
You don't know about life until it's over.
In gambling, you don't know until all the cards have been turned.
The Ace of Sixes did that too, and was courted all the way to hell.
Now I'll shuffle.
You're going to show it to me slowly? Your skills.
Seven and two
Let's switch them this time.
I think this little guy smells like a double.
You'll have to see before you know if it's double or poop.
Your turn.
None for me. Let's turn them over.
Well, mine first.
Two
This time, the card I got from you.
Two
Double twos!
What are you doing? Go ahead and play.
Seven
He's not wavering.
Three
Mangtong (a combination that adds up to zero as last digit).
Mine are seven and two.
Swindler Golsa's are two and three.
How did he do it?
This is the last game.
Have you ever lost?
With these cards?
This skill has lasted me for 30 years.
Well, just once.
To Dog Blade.
Well,
today's your second time.
I'm glad I'm not late.
What's the White-Faced Scholar doing here again?
I was thinking of lending you some strength.
I brought a gift.
Yeon Hwa!
Father.
What the heck is this now?
We need something like this to rile up your real strength.
What's your reason?
Why did you put up posters everywhere in my name?
Thanks to the posters, you should have received a welcome.
So this match finally carries some weight.
Hurry and deal the cards then.
I...
will deal the cards.
Who is to know if Baek Dae Gil will not pull a swindle?
What trick are you trying to play?
As filial piety
of course, you'd wish your father to win.
Go ahead then.
Father.
Ten points.
Ten.
Five points.
Five
How did you know? It didn't seem like a swindle.
Sounds.
Those tags... have the different sounds. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
Sounds? Is it a swindle?
Three points.
Two points.
Three points.
Double three.
Seven points.
Gabo. (a combination that adds up to 9 as the last digit)
Father has two threes in his hand.
Double three.
Baek Dae Gil has a seven and a two in his hand.
Gabo. (add up to nine points)
If they don't switch, Father will win.
I don't want to switch.
If you want to switch, you may.
I will.
Seven points... Father's tags are two threes.
If they switch tags, Baek Dae Gil will win.
Thinking again, it's better not to switch.
Father won.
Why? Don't regret later.
It would be better to switch.
Anyhow, they say success is 70% luck and 30% effort. Let's just go ahead.
Well, show them.
A seven and a two make nine points. It's Gabo.
Well, for me,
Wait.
Is it right you play this round betting on this gambling house?
If I lose,
I'll give this gambling house to you.
If you lose,
the gambling houses you took away from the White-Faced Scholar will be all mine.
Why? Do you think it's a relief that you didn't bet your neck?
Instead of betting my neck, granting the winner's wish. How about that?
If it's a wish we can grant...
Well, show them.
It's impossible.
It's not impossible. A sound swindle.
When was the swindle you are doing now popular?
I changed the tag's sound by scratching on it.
Even though you say so,
how did you do that in such a short time?
Do I get called a gambler by doing at least this much?
You Swindler Golsa.
You have to take responsibility for this. Huh?
No.
Your habit of stabbing someone in the back has not changed.
The point of your sword has gotten quite fierce.
Withdraw your swords.
We are not finished yet.
It's a note for 1000 nyangs.
Baek Dae Gil.
I am awarding this 1000 nyangs for his neck.
What are you doing, Lee In Jwa?
2000 nyangs!
This a huge sum of money you guys can't even touch for the rest of your life.
This isn't enough.
Then
I add 3000 nyangs more.
5000 nyangs!
This amount of money will allow three generations to live in an extravagant style.
What should we do?
Halt!
What is this?
Listen!Baek Joong Gi (Head of non-chartered merchants league)
Baek Dae Gil is the man to whom we owe our lives.
He saved us from the Ace of Sixes. We owe him our lives!
What we need is not just a note for 5000 nyangs,
but a man like him who thinks about our lives. Don't you know that?
Stop!
Withdraw the tool weapons!
Is this Six Ministries Street?
To which gambling house did you dare to come
and play with money?
Then you want to finish the game, don't you?
Winning is winning.
If you were a man,
you cleanly have to admit losing.
You dare to teach me, huh?
Go and bring the ledgers.
Father.
No matter how you look at, it seems there is nothing you can become involved in.
You probably didn't expect me to beat Swindler Golsa.
It's amazing.
Actually, rather than the match between you and Swindler Golsa,
I came here with a different reason.
My heart flutters.
Right, all those things you're seeing, hearing, and experiencing,
make them your own completely.
Baek Dae Gil.
You'll be standing at the crossroads of choice soon.
Keep these words in mind.
In this world, there is no everlasting ally or foe.
As many allies as you have, you will have just as many foes.
Swindler Golsa, you will pay dearly for your failure to safeguard this gambling den.
Let's go.
Is this the ledger?
Your Highness. If this ledger becomes public,
be it Noron or Soron, they will all rise in protest.
Will you be able to afford it?
Would I have stood here without that much expectation?
Tidy up all the claims to Mapo commerce with the exception of this gambling den.
I'll be taking over tomorrow morning.
I understand.
Also, you agreed to fulfill a wish of mine.
Gramps!
Swindler Golsa.
Old Southern Goblin.
Old man, you know what happens when you strike a swindle in this turf, right?
I'm pretty fond of your eyeball.
Old man, it was a youthful arrogant mistake of mine.
Please forgive me.
If the body is 1,000 nyangs, then the eye is 900 nyangs.
To think of the years I have been living with only 450 nyangs' worth of a single eye.
I'd pull your limbs apart.
But what can I do?
That's enough, so get up.

I'm Baek Joong Gi, who is spearheading the non-chartered merchants of Hanyang.
I'm Moon Jeong Min, the chief of Mapo tradesmen.
I'm Lee Eun Chang of the Cheon Ahn tradesmen.
I'm Sin Yong Gol, chief of Ahn Hyang tradesmen.
Kim Gil Jil of Mopo tradesmen.
Seo Yang Woon of Busan tradesmen.
Yoon Gak, chief of Eun Joo tradesmen.
You've become a hero.
You don't need to thank me.
Thank you.
Well, let's part ways here.
Baek Dae Gil, hooray!
Baek Dae Gil!
Hooray for Lord Baek Dae Gil!
Father, I can't accept this.
To give away the gambling den to him? But you worked so hard.
It's not like you made it.
Don't hold any lingering feelings about it, just think about getting married, Yeon Hwa.
I'm not getting married or anything.
How about him?
That Baek Dae Gil.
Father!
But he saved you! I see from your expression you don't dislike him.
Father!
That man Baek Dae Gil cracked Seoso Gate and even took over Swindler Golsa's Mapo.
Furthermore, Prince Yeoning has the ledgers to put an end to us.
How in the world did this happen?
Did you not clearly say to wait and see?
It's tomorrow. If for any reason, the ledgers
that reveal the back deals we made with the chartered merchants,
end up in His Majesty's hands...
We must settle on our countermeasure at once.
It's the ledger with records of those who committed bribery and the amounts.
And this ledger
lists those who received the bribes, the dates and times,
and the names of the witnesses, all recorded in detail.
Fortunately, your name was not found anywhere.
Then as promised, please remove your hands from it, Your Highness.
The rest, I will see to their settlement.
Here, you are really quite something to be proud of.
All thanks
to how I raised him.
Born as a man for the Eight Provinces of Joseon,
you've let your name be known, and what a great feat that is.
Here, this is on me, so order to your heart's content.
Gramps, your money is my money though.
The beholder of the money is the owner.
I'll go get more wine.
Our Dae Gil is indeed so dashing.
Baek Dae Gil.
When tomorrow morning comes, the world will be upside down,
by your name.
How is it that you don't even get drunk by wine?
So you're curious about that too, Your Highness?
Your Highness?
The high ministers of the royal court are always calling me "Your Highness" this and "Your Highness" that, and it's a pain.
But how can "Your Highness" sound so great?
Here, have a cup.
Your Highness.
So you and that Baek Dae Gil.
Why do you continue to be close to him?
Do you deem him to be a friend or such in your status?
Discarding
status. Discarding power, and discarding customs,
at last my eyes were truly opened.
And finally I saw a friend I could not see before.
The pain of the people that I knew but ignored.
I was finally able to see it.
You see a friend and you see the people, so it's all great.
For that friend of yours...
can you give up your life for him?
For the people of this land...
can you give up this throne?
Keep this in mind.
If you can't do any of these things, that person is not your friend,
nor are the people of this land yours.
So I'm telling you to act appropriately for your status.
Understood?
Hey Dae Gil. What's your dream?
My dream? Let's see...
I don't know what my dream is,
but I do want to become a dream for someone else.
Then...
Can you become my dream?
♬ I want to love you ♬
Seol Im... You don't have any dreams?
♬ My one and only love ♬
I...
Instead of some distant dreams that my hands can't even reach.
♬ Deep within my heart ♬
I want my dream of being by your side to become a reality.
♬ I close my eyes and imagine you ♬
♬ And it feels as if I can hold onto you ♬
I'll go to bed now.
O-Okay...
♬ My broken self from your tears ♬
Thanks.
For what?
Just... for everything.
Hurry and go to bed.
♬ For as long as I breathe and my heart beats ♬
♬ My heart will always be at your side ♬
♬ Please don't ever forget that ♬
Who is it?
You're stronger than I expected.
The Ace of Sixes, and even Swindler Golsa...
Dog Blade...
Shall we see your skills?
So you're not just all fluff.
Why? It seems you were scared to come here alone.
Seol Im... What are you going to do with her?
She says she's going to leave your grasp.
She's going to leave, huh?
I have a favor. Don't die in a dangerous place.
You embarrassed me.
Forgive me.
Be careful next time.
What are you doing? If you came, then you should come in.
Hey Dae Gil.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Okay.
You only have two choices.
The first is to live alone, isolating yourself from this mundane world.
I was born with a terrible misfortune, you see.
I'll be leaving far away. A place without you, Dae Gil, and everyone else.
Why this punk... Where did he go?
Dae Gil!
Oh my! Our Seol Im!
Seol Im!
Seol Im's straw shoe.
Don't delude yourself to think you could take my father's place just because you're seated in the boss's chair.
I will not acknowledge you. Never.
I can't fill your father's seat, but I will see to it that Boss Golsa's request is carried out.
Request?
Stop!
What are you doing?

Swindler Golsa. Did you kill him?
If I tell you, do you have any intention of believing me?
Have you seen Seol Im?
Seol Im?
Don't turn your back on me.
Arrest Baek Dae Gil. Even without this sword,
I also believe you.
You incinerated the evidence that was so hard to get?
Did you not promise me you'd leave it to me?
Now it's time for everyone to be erected.
No matter how, I will...
end his life.
Baek Dae Gil, are you truly my older brother?
I will arrest the true culprit before the bell rings.
Now I know who the culprit is.
