Arang 16
Master Ju Wal probably doesn't have anything to do with the magistrate's mother.
He didn't look like he was lying or hiding something.
Yes. It could have just been a coincidence for them to walk together.
Please don't go.
What am I remembering?
It was definitely the abandoned shack.
But why was Master Ju Wal there?
Is he the one who took the magistrate's mother there?
What's going on?
Let me help you.
Later. I'll tell you everything later.
I'm sorry, Arang.
I couldn't tell you because it seems my mother is connected to your death.
But I think it's time now to tell you.
Why was Lee Seo Rim with Master Ju Wal at the abandoned shack?
Where have you been?
I have something to tell you.
I do too.
Was it really your mother?
Yes.
But how could that be?
I don't know what's going on.
But I have to find out and set things right.
Is there a way to do that?
I don't know.
But I must find a way.
You know what I went through to find her.
I can't believe the Jade Emperor was my teacher.
I thought the Death Angel was lying to me.
Magistrate...
I've thought about it and these things we're experiencing...
I don't think any of it is by coincidence.
It was the Jade Emperor who taught you to fight ghosts.
And it was also Jade Emperor who sent me back in human form.
And it was his hair pin that ultimately brought us together.
The Jade Emperor.
So my having to find the truth about my death,
and you searching for your mother...
I think they were all a part of the Jade Emperor's plans.
Why would he do that?
I'm going to get to the bottom of it and find out what he's up to.
Oh, and Magistrate?
Yes?
Please find my maid's murderer.
Don't worry too much.
I'll get Lord Choi and avenge the maid's death.
Sleep well.
Okay.
I'm sorry about Master Ju Wal.
I don't think it's the right time to tell you about him.
I'll tell you when I can remember more details.
Search the woods near Yeonnamru carefully and find the corpse.
Yes, sir!
Let's go.
That dreaded time has come.
What are we to do?
How can our office be investigating a murder?
How can such a thing happen?
This office that didn't even investigate the last magistrate's death...
We're going through all this for a maid?
Don't you agree with us Hyung Bang...
Hyung Bang...?
Huh?
It's been so long since I've come out to a crime scene.
This is where I belong.
The winds last night have blown down a lot of leaves.
The body could be covered up, so search carefully.
Yes, sir!
Huh? Is he trying to take over my position?
Why that...
Hey, hey! Come over here.
Come over here and search thoroughly.
Right over here. Come right over this way.
Don't you hear what I'm saying?
Who are you?
Why... I'm Hyung Bang. Don't you know who I am?
Huh?
It's here! Found it!
Go and get the magistrate.
Yes, sir!
Wait... This isn't right.
It's fortunate that she was easier to find than we thought.
Since I knew her, I feel a bit strange.
Magistrate, live long.
I don't think you should look.
Why not?
I have to.
Don't look.
Miss Seo Rim, how could the heavens be so cruel?
Let's go. - Miss Seo Rim!
Miss! Miss Seo Rim!
Miss Seo Rim!
You must be cold.
I'm sorry.
See if you can find the identification tag.
Bring the corpse carefully back to the office.
And then we must go and arrest the owner of the ID tag.
Who's this?
Me? Dol Sae.
What are you doing?
I won't repeat myself so listen carefully.
The magistrate said you're the murderer and ordered me to come and arrest you.
How dare you falsely accuse me?
I didn't know your surname was Park.
Arrest him!
Yes, sir!
Hold still.
What did you say?
They arrested whom?
Why?
Well...
He's been charged with the murder of the maid.
What is that?
Keo Deol's identification tag was found on the dead maid's body.
That incompetent fool.
He couldn't even handle that cleanly?
Why, that magistrate!
So he wants war?
Go and bring Lee Bang right now!
I never thought I'd see the day when Keo Deol would be arrested.
Are things finally changing with this new magistrate?
Seeing Keo Deol dragged away,
anything the magistrate does from now on is okay by me.
You deserve it, you jerk!
Thank you for finding my mother, Magistrate.
I almost became a terrible daughter,
not even knowing to set a memorial table.
When my body was discovered...
The maid clutched on to my body and wept.
Yes, she did that.
But I didn't see her.
My own grief must have been too great for me to see her sorrow.
But when I saw her body earlier... I realized it.
I realized there was someone other than me, who would cry for me.
Had I realized this sooner, I wouldn't have wasted so much time.
I could have found out about Master Ju Wal quicker.
That was a move made by the Jade Emperor.
If you had known it then, you would've fallen for him again.
Didn't you say it was love at first sight?
I guess you're right.
What? You guess I'm right?
Is your work finished now that you have Keo Deol?
The real criminal is Lord Choi so how can it be finished?
I thought you'd do just enough and be done with it.
That's not the kind of magistrate I am.
But... why do you think Lord Choi was so desperate to confirm your identity?
Does that mean that Ju Wal knew everything also?
Master Ju Wal? No, it couldn't be.
Lee Seo Rim wouldn't have loved that kind of a man.
There must an explanation.
Master Ju Wal,
weren't you curious at all about Miss Seo Rim's death?
Why did she suddenly ask me that?
There's something I would like to ask you.
Do you remember the former magistrate's daughter?
Lee Seo Rim... I was betrothed to her.
Yes.
I didn't have much interest so I don't even remember what she looked like.
So?
You suddenly want to see her face?
No, it's not that.
Did I... kill her also?
Yes.
You did.
That wretched girl followed you to the abandoned shack and saw everything.
So there was no choice but for her to die.
That seems to have shocked you.
I understand, since she almost became your wife.
So why did you ask about her, instead of keeping it buried?
Why do you think I erased your memory after each murder?
W... why did you do it?
Why?
Why what?
Erase your memory? Or let the girl die?
Both.
You ingrate! You're the one who killed her!
You're the one who caused her to come to the shack.
What?
Are you resenting me for erasing your memories?
It was so you could live.
It's what you wanted.
Are you still feeling tormented?
It's not an easy thing to kill someone.
But you can't keep breaking down like this.
If I knew you were this weak, I wouldn't have taken you in back then.
Please save me.
Erase your memory again?
I can do that.
I can erase the memories every time.
Simple, isn't it?
You want it erased?
Yes.
Do you understand now?
I'm the one who saved you.
Are you still upset over Arang?
Why did Lee Seo Rim follow me there?
How should I know?
Ask her yourself if you see her again.
Master Ju Wal.
Master Ju Wal!
Now is not the time to tell him that Arang is Lee Seo Rim.
There'll be a better time for that.
Be honest with me. You didn't know either, did you?
Even an expert at baduk cannot predict all the moves.
But you probably knew that by sending Arang,
Moo Yeon would miss feeding on a soul.
So you expected that she'd become weaker.
But you didn't know she'd become that weak, right?
That's true.
I didn't know Eun Oh's mother was that strong so it was definitely unexpected.
You sat up here and acted like you knew everything.
It doesn't feel too bad to confirm you don't know it all.
That is the very reason why I trust humans.
The willpower that humans possess... isn't it amazing?
By the way, is Moo Young still on probation?
Moo Yeon.
I don't know the best way to save you.
Perhaps I should have destroyed you, by my hands.
Have you truly lost your way?
Brother!
Don't call me that.
Brother!
Do you really like it here?
Back and forth across the River Styx, collecting dead people?
Today is like tomorrow, and tomorrow is like today.
You really like the life here?
Why do you hate life here so much?
Because they say I can't have!
What's so bad about having desires for something?
But here, they won't allow you to have anything.
I prefer life on earth, even if I have to live wallowing in dog poop.
I want to live on earth.
You wanted to live on earth so much
but was it as the monster that you are now?
I know that old man destroyed it, but I should still go and check it out.
It might make me remember something.
I wanted you to remember that someone once loved you deeply.
Why is he here?
Master Ju Wal.
Miss.
Why are you here?
I was here once a long time ago.
There used to be an abandoned shack here.
Do you know about it?
No... I don't...
Master Ju Wal.
I need to leave.
Master Ju Wal.
When Lee Seo Rim was murdered...
were you... there?
Lee Seo Rim.
L... Lord Kim Eung Boo
Is that man Lord Kim Eung Boo
Your Excellency!
Father.
Eun Oh.
Have you been well?
Please forgive me of my impudence.
No need.
I was going to answer your question by letter
but curiosity caused me to come in person.
Why did you ask about Lord Choi?
Actually, I believe Mother came here because of Lord Choi.
Just what happened between Mother and Lord Choi?
Father.
It's a very old and deep grudge.
Your maternal grandfather was Seo Jun Su, the first Vice Premier.
There were many complaints and appeals regarding Lord Choi's wrongdoings.
Your grandfather tried to bring him to justice.
But Lord Choi ended up framing your grandfather for treason
with fabricated evidence.
Because of that,
the entire family was put to death except your mother, who was the sole survivor.
Eun Oh.
Try to understand your mother.
I'm sure it brought her great torment to watch you.
Imagine how she felt, realizing she's neglecting her son
as she put her grudge before her own child.
That must be why she made that decision.
She probably thought taking her grudge and leaving you was the best for you.
I'm sure that's why she left.
Eun Oh.
Yes, Father.
Ruling a small village is just like ruling the country.
To be on their side means to listen to what they have to say.
Do not forget that.
I will take that to heart, Father.
If anything happens, send word to me immediately.
I will do what I can to help.
Did you really come all this way?
Did you come for the sole purpose of killing him?
I will not let him get away with this.
Someday I will have my revenge.
Mother!
Mother.
Lee Seo Rim...
Why does it hurt so much as I get closer to finding your murderer
and the truth of your death?
If I am to ring that bell of truth... if I am to go to Heaven...
I must find the murderer and have the person punished.
Is that what you really want... Lee Seo Rim?
Arang.
Why are you sitting in the dark like this?
Did something happen?
Why do you look so upset?
Oh...
What is it?
Okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
I don't know what it's about
but don't forget that I'll stay by your side until you go to Heaven.
I found a man who used to work at Lord Choi's house 3 years ago.
That's right.
There was a woman from Kimhae about 3 years ago.
She did odd jobs in Lord Choi's kitchen for a few days.
Odd jobs?
Yes.
She didn't look like someone who would do that sort of work.
But she pleaded to be allowed to work at Lord Choi's home.
So Mr. Kim hired her.
And?
It is said that she put poison in Lord Choi's food.
But she was found out. It caused quite an uproar.
No one knows what happened to her after that.
We all thought it was very strange.
Lord Choi wouldn't have punished her quietly.
I see.
Oh, Magistrate sir...
I have a request to make.
A request? What request?
It's about the forced labor.
Forced labor?
Yes.
I heard men who are not on the qualified list are being sent in for forced labor.
Find out what's going on.
It's obvious that they're too afraid to refuse Lord Choi's orders.
I know that.
That's why I want you to find out details of the situation.
Magistrate, we need you outside.
These people say they must tell you about something.
Go on.
Say what's on your mind.
He will listen to you.
You go and wait outside.
Pardon?
Yes, sir.
Okay. You may speak now.
Let's tell him everything.
Kim here told us what you said.
He said you wondered who would cooperate if you investigated Lord Choi's crimes.
I did.
He took the plot of land that supported my family of 9.
My father committed suicide and my mother died from grief.
My son got drunk and said some words of complaint.
For that, he was beaten all night,
lost the use of his legs, and lost his mind.
My story is that we couldn't repay Lord Choi
so we were forced to sell our 12 year old daughter.
Sir.
- Please help us. - Help us, Magistrate!
Please help us, sir. Sir.
Please save us, Sir. Sir!
How can you be so incompetent?
You're there every day but never noticed the signs?
I'm very sorry, Your Excellency.
What's been happening at the office lately?
Well, you see...
He hired guardsmen and put Dol Sae to training them.
And then as you know, they investigated and found the maid's murderer.
That's not all.
What else?
The villagers have been acting strangely.
The villagers?
They keep coming to talk to the magistrate
but I don't know what they've been telling him.
The villagers are visiting the magistrate's office?
I see. You may leave.
Yes, sir.
Give this message to Keo Deol.
Sir?
Why are you alone these days?
And why do you keep hanging around the magistrate?
I can do what I want.
Don't even dream about doing something to my master.
I would never.
I simply switched sides, that's all.
Sides?
Sides to what?
I mean that I switched sides and going with the magistrate.
I thought about it and I decided he suits my taste better.
What?
What did you just say? Your tastes?
Old man, are you coming on...
I mean, you have feelings for him?
What? What are you talking about?
First a ghost, and now an old man...
Don't switch sides!
Where's Lee Bang?
Look here.
How did you end up like this?
Your life has ended up in tatters.
This is why one must choose the right side.
Enough of your nonsense.
Did Lord Choi say anything else?
He did. Of course he did.
I risked my life and came all the way here just to pass on his message.
When you get out, put in a good word for the two of us.
When I get out?
Is he getting me out?
I'm not sure about that.
He just said this one thing.
What?
Be careless and short, be careful and live long.
What?
We'll be leaving then.
What does that mean?
Huh?
I passed on the words but what do they mean?
Don't you think it's to keep his mouth shut?
Oh.
The villagers are going to the magistrate's office?
Kim Seo Bang!
Go and deliver this letter to the governor of Kyungsang.
I said it was unfair for me to hear but not see, so you made me see but not hear?
If you're going to give me gifts, make them right.
This defective gift...
You can have it back. Take it!
Do you all know?
Huh?
This is what's called Pork Wraps.
Wrapping it like this is really yummy.
The meat is tender with no off smell.
The kimchi goes so well with the pork.
There's this big loaf who's trying to win over my daughter
so he keeps bringing her meat.
They feed each other, lick their fingers...
I couldn't stand to keep watching them.
What are they talking about? I can't hear a thing.
But how did Mother know about the pork wraps to ask for them?
I'm the one who came up with the term.
Oh!
Then she knows everything he and I have been doing?
How much does she know?
I don't know if seeing is better or if hearing is better.
I have no idea.
There's always something missing.
Poison?
Yes.
My mother went to work at his house to take revenge on him.
But how did she get taken over by that creature
and end up living in that house?
Just exactly what is that creature?
Will you be able to save your mother from it?
I must. I absolutely must.
What is the relationship between that creature and Lord Choi?
Lord Choi...
That is an old talisman.
We've had it since before my birth,
so I don't know if the shaman who wrote it is still alive or not.
Come to think of it, that house must be charmed.
Lord Kim did very well while he lived in that house also.
And I heard it was the same for Lord Park before him.
Now that I think about it,
all the people who rose to power in Miryang lived in that house.
Yes, that creature lived in that house even before Lord Choi moved in.
Even before then?
Yes.
And everyone who lived in that house gained wealth and power through her.
As did Lord Choi.
Then Lord Choi won't ever give her up.
I'm sure he's hiding her somewhere.
We have to find out where that is.
How?
Where have you been?
We ran away.
That house was crawling with terrifying demons.
I wasn't going to run away, but then these guys ran away.
I wasn't going to follow, but I was scared to be there alone.
Then you should have come and told me.
Why did you come back now?
We heard the demons are gone.
Of course they're gone. Thanks to me.
That's why there are so many rumors about you among the ghosts.
Rumors? What kind?
What do they say?
They say you're scarier than the ghosts.
Never mind that.
Go back to staking out Lord Choi's house.
If you see anyone doing anything suspicious, report back immediately.
Yes, sir!
It's me.
Yes.
I brought you some food.
Okay.
Then I'll just leave the food here.
Magistrate!
Sir Magistrate, what's going on?
Didn't you say you got rid of all the demons?
How could you lie to us like that?
What are you talking about?
I've never encounter such a terrifying demon before.
It's so powerful that ghosts like us can't even get near.
We finally found her.
Where do you think you're going?
Let me go with you.
It's too dangerous. You stay here.
Let me go with you.
There aren't many days left for us to be together.
Besides, don't you think two will be better than one?
That's it over there.
We can't go beyond here.
That's fine. Good job.
Could it be... the girl is here?
Stay behind me.
Oh, the stylish young lady has come all the way here.
I'm Ju Wal's aunt.
I'm going in.
Come visit sometime.
What a stylish young lady...
Master Ju Wal's aunt?
What?
It's been a long time, Magistrate.
I was too flustered that day to recognize my son.
Are you okay?
This isn't right. It isn't right.
I made a mistake.
Don't come any closer.
Don't come close.
Madam, pull yourself together.
Move!
Don't get close.
Madam.
Don't come near!
Master.
Why is she here?
I... I don't know.
Move back.
Who is she?
I don't know.
How did she come here?
I don't know.
How could she ruin such a wonderful day so unfortunately?
She saw everything so we can't let her go like this.
I'll erase her memory.
Get rid of her.

Lee Seo Rim...
Why does it hurt so much as I get closer to finding your murderer
and the truth of your death?
If I am to ring that bell of truth... If I am to go to Heaven...
I must find the murderer and have the person punished.
Is that what you really want... Lee Seo Rim?
What should I do, Arang?
I came this far to find out the truth of your murder and send you to Heaven.
How could it be that my mother is involved?
Magistrate.
Don't forget that I'll stay by your side until you go to Heaven.
