Make your choice.
Will you live as Prince Choong Won's dog
or will you become a brother to Big Boss?
Why would I abandon royalty and side with ruined Amogae?
Because you don't want to live as an animal.
Our silver mine was stolen by Prince Choong Won, and Leader Heo
were just begging for his help to get you a loan from the Royal Treasury as I heard.
If you become one of us, that will never happen.
If we recover the silver mine, Leader Heo,
I promise to share it with you.
Leader Heo, you are a born merchant. So you know well
which one is more profitable.

[REBEL: THIEF WHO STOLE THE PEOPLE]
- Episode 10 -
If Eopsan didn't come, we would have been in big trouble.
Why are you saying such things when we have Soboori?
We freaked out, did't we?
What?
You weren't hurt anywhere? No bleeding, right?
No. Go, go.
They said a brother and sister were found dead, holding onto each other tightly.
The only thing left was this flower-embroidered shoe.
Hearing about it,
I think it was Gil Hyun and Eorinie...
Please don't tell Gil Dong.
But Big Boss, even now, Gil Dong
has released so many men all over the places,
even to the street-performers or travelers.
He is only looking for Gil Hyun and Eorinie.
This matter is between me and Gil Dong.
Hyung Eopsan is here. So we will find Hyung Gil Hyun and Eorinie soon, too.
Of course. We must.
Yup.
Aigoo. Good, good.
I said that we will get our own food...
This is mine. These snacks are all for me.
In any case, our tiny miss accomplished something big, this time.
Yes, our chatterbox did good.
Gil Dong? Pour her one.
Come on.
I don't really like to drink, but
the nights are very drafty and cold lately.
So maybe I'll sleep better if I drink a little?
You should keep pouring until you fill it up.
Yes, if you're gonna pour,
do it all the way. - Come on, be generous.
- Pour up, up, up, up. - Up, up, up.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Watch out your head.
My back, my back! Aigoo.
How much did she drink?
- So drunk... - It seems that she likes you.
It's not like that.
Who's bean-sized? I am not a bean-sized person.
What is she saying?
Her sleep-talking is weird.
Aish...
Oh, you bean-sized thing.
Orabeoni.
Gil Dong Orabeoni.
Orabeoni.
I can't sleep alone because I am scared.
Lie here. Right, right.
Ah, here? Like this? - Oh, gosh.
- You idiot. - Aigoo, it's Miss Ugly.
I'm not Miss Ugly.
- You are Miss Ugly for sure. - I am not.
Wear those flower shoes and wait for me. I'll be back soon.
This time, you better return quickly.
♫ Under the dark skies ♫
♫ the wind is blowing. ♫
♫ I try to look for you. ♫
♫ I can't find you ♫
♫ Where are our paths? ♫
♫ Don't look back ♫
Eorinie.
Hyung.
Eorinie.
It has returned.
Your strength has returned.
Father.
Gil Dong. Now just forget everything.
Forget your father, forget Gil Hyun.
Forget Eorinie, too.
Forget everything and fly away and away.
As for me, yes,
your father lived doing a lot of things that violated our nation's laws.
So people acted afraid in front of me, but behind my back, they pointed fingers of blame.
But Gil Dong,
that is not for you.
You are different from me.
My Gil Dong, you are going towards something bigger and better.
You are going to some place brighter.
You will become a state general or royal general and receive a commendation from our king.
So forget everything.
Forget, and live differently from your father.
I don't want to.
Your flesh was torn and your bones were broken. How can I forget?
I searched all eight states of Joseon
but I cannot find Hyung or Eorinie. How can I forget?
Father, I won't do anything before I catch Prince Choong Won.
No, I can't.
Just watch me.
Watch how I catch Prince Choong Won.
Park Won Il. I am now remembering rumors I've heard about your grandfather.
When Danjong of Joseon (SIXTH KING OF THE JOSEON DYNASTY) was forced to abdicate to his uncle,
many scholars turned their backs on society.
I believe your grandfather was one of them.
I heard that your grandfather took his son's couple and went to live in the mountains.
So it appears that you are the last remaining grandson of the Park family.
Then, did you live all your life in the mountains, too?
- My grandfather... - No.
Sorry for asking too many questions.
I apologize.
I have enjoyed too much of your hospitality. I better be on my way.
Won't you take the civil service exam?
Your grandfather may have turned his back to the world, but there is no need for you to do so.
I will help you study for the civil service exam.
- I have no intention of taking the exam. - Then why were you in front of the brush shop?
Your grandfather went into the mountains because he
did not like corrupt power. But must you do the same?
You should enjoy your youth like the others.
Like your friends, you should stay up many nights to study and take the exam. You were born a man,
so you should have a chance to enjoy the honor of service to His Majesty.
I will be going.
My school's door is always open.
Now Yiquari is doomed. In the past, I could get good quality silk at Yiquari.
- I heard that Big Boss's men appeared in Yiquari recently... - Have you been to Yiquari?
Big Boss's men appeared again in Yiquari, you said?
Who are you, Sir?
Yes, I am on my way to Yiquari, because I know someone there.
Yiquari is all ruined now. Recently, Big Boss's men created a fuss,
but they were wiped out by Heo Tae Hak's men.
Yiquari Big Boss's men are all dried up.
Then what about Yiquari Big Boss?
Big Boss was tortured to death, and his children are all missing.
Have you made a decision?
So you do promise? Regarding the silver mine?
Once we catch Prince Choong Won, I will make sure
to share the profit from the silver mine with you.
Good.
Now Magistrate Eom will return.
Please take good care of him.
You tied it tight, right? Aigoo, stand still.
- Why aren't they coming? - Aigoo, just wait.
- Oh, you're so noisy. - Why are you such a chicken?
Shall I recite some Buddhist scripture...
Oh, the smell.
Okay, they're here.
Let's do this. Go, go, go.
Run away!
Please release Magistrate Eom first.
Yes. Untie him.
Leader. Leader!
Your Highness, Prince Choong Won.
I was at death's door, and was saved.
If not for Leader Heo,
my life would have ended long ago, Your Highness.
Prince Choong Won seems to trust me again.
Prince Choong Won will go to Hanyang soon to visit the king.
When Prince Choong Won goes to Hanyang, use us as his porters.
We will do the rest.
Elder.
I was able to read and write pretty well when I was little,
but I have been lazy as I grew up.
Could someone like me pass the civil service exam?
I can recognize desperate people.
If you cannot pass,
that means I don't have a discerning eye for people.
I hope I don't appear to be that pathetic, to you.
Is it delicious?
Yes, Mother. Please eat some, too.
No, I'm fine. Pack up the rest of it
and share it with your friends.
It's difficult to study, isn't it?
It is.
But I must.
I will enter public office for sure, and take good care of you.
How grateful I am.
Is Teacher doing well?
Nothing going on at the school?
We have a new Confucian scholar.
He's about my age, and his name is Park Ha Seong.
Does he not have a father, too?
It seems he doesn't have any parents at all.
I heard in passing that his grandfather
after Danjong of Joseon was forced to abdicate
went into the mountains.
Why would Teacher accept a child like that?
Jeong Hak.
Don't get too close to that child.
If his grandfather went into the mountains because of that incident,
would His Majesty like him?
You will come to serve His Majesty close-by in the near future,
so you must be cautious about who you become friends with.
But I like him, for some reason.
He feels familiar, like I've known him for a long time.
You must listen to your mother.
In order to make sure only good people gather around you,
I've even changed your name.
Yes, Mother. Yes.
So let's introduce ourselves officially.
I'm Jeong Hak of the Jo clan.
Jo Jeong Hak?
Yes. I had another name when I was a child, but after Father passed away,
Mother gave me a new name.
- I... - I know. You are Park Ha Seong.
After passing the first and the second test in a civil service exam,
we must take the final test in front of His Majesty.
I heard that His Majesty will personally give out the subject of poem for the final test.
I am curious about what subject he will give out for the final test.
Your Majesty, Rites, Education and Foreign Affairs requested for a subject of the augmented exam.
And Daegans and the Confucius scholars (Daegans = officials
(in Office of Inspect General and Office of Cencers)
had submitted an appeal to oppose of holding the Buddha's rites.
Your Majesty, please follow the path of the virtuous man.
Please allow to interrogate Roh Sa Shin, a small-minded person.
Your Majesty, Roh Sa Shin, with his vulpine tongue,
he is manipulating you.
Roh Sa Shin is a disloyal subject
and a small-minded person who is mocking Confucius.
Your Majesty, please follow the way of a virtuous man. [LEE GONG: AN OFFICIAL IN OFFICE OF CENSORS]
Please abandon the small-person's ways.
Please formally interrogate Roh Sa Shin, Your Majesty.
Please formally interrogate Roh Sa Shin.
Isn't this just a Buddhist ritual?
It's just about singing a song to Buddha
and burning some paper.
Does this make them so angry?
What they want
is not a prosperous nation
nor proper politics. What they want
is not to follow Confucius or Mencius.
They only want
to spit out more toxic words than others
and show off and pretend that they are more virtuous.
They have already
forgotten our people and our nation.
They just want to angle their fame.
Your Majesty, you are a son of the heavens.
For you, Your Majesty, there is nothing you
cannot say, nothing you cannot do.
So why do you fear the mere cabinet members,
alone in your bedroom?
- Your Majesty. - I don't think today is the day. Let's return.
Your Majesty...
I don't feel ready, yet.
Your Majesty, you are already
the owner of this nation.
His Majesty, the King, is coming.
Your Majesty, the scholars including Lee Gong
submitted the appeal about their opposing opinion for the Buddha's rites.
THey request that Roh Sa Shin, who brown-nosed to the Buddha
be formally investigated.
Your Majesty, please formally investigate Roh Sa Shin who has dirtied your royal virtues.
Please investigate Roh Sa Shin!
I understand your feelings, Confucian scholars.
My father, the former king, disliked Buddhism.
To hold a Buddhist ritual for him
may be disloyal, I can understand that.
However, I already commanded for the ritual to be performed.
Why do you not obey my command, for several months?
If to disobey the former king is disloyalty,
then disobeying me, the current king, what is that?
Are you saying that I am not this nation's king?
Perhaps, the Confucian scholars outside the palace
do not regard me as their king, as well?
And you who defend those Confucian scholars,
do you not regard me as your king?
I may be a young king,
but I can distinguish between black and white, loyalty and disloyalty,
between faith and treachery.
So today, I will identify disloyal subjects
to make a loyal example of the Royal Court.
The three Confucianists who submitted the disloyal appeal to the king
including Lee Gong. Send them to exile
and prohibit all of their followers from taking a civil service exam for a while.
In addition, if there are anyone who defends those Confucian scholars after today
you will no longer be my vassals.
A resolution with dignity from our king.
A resolution with dignity.
Did you see that?
Yes, Your Majesty. I saw it. I heard it.
They couldn't even make a breathing sound in the face of your dignity.
Ja Won, for some reason,
I feel like I can do well from now on.
Yes, like Royal Father, I will become Joseon's...
Your Majesty.
Daegans are gathering all together and requesting for their resignations.
Your Majesty, please travel the path of the virtuous man.
Please formally investigate Roh Sa Shin.
Your Majesty, you sit in your throne, so high up, so you do not hear our words.
About which we cannot hide our great disappointment.
Your Majesty, do you consider your wisdom alone to be enough,
that you will not listen to your vassals?
Even Sage Emperors Yao and Shun conferred with their ministers.
When you are no Emperor Yao or Shun,
how can you so firmly reject the advice of the inspectors and auditors?
Your Majesty, please travel the path of the virtuous man.
Please interrogate Roh Sa Shin, a small-minded person.
Prince Choong Won will be going to Hanyang, and I will escort him.
Yes, I will prepare for the trip.
No. You stay here and watch over the silver mine.
I will pick some trustworthy guys as the porters myself.
But Leader...
When I used to stay at a temple in the past, I was good
at drawing monks' portraits and Buddha's hallowed images.
Woah, Hyung, you sure are ugly.
No...
The head monk adored me saying I had very tight hand skills.
He said I would become a great painter in the future.
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by the Rebels Team @Viki
Hyung.
So ugly!
Father, please look at me.
I look like a real porter.
I will be going now.
Gil Dong.
A long time ago, you remember what happened between
your father and Cham Bong Jo's wife, right?
At that time, Cham Bong Jo's wife accused me of killing Lord Cham Bong
so I was taken to the Village Hall.
Later, Cham Bong Jo's wife, to your father,
she even apologized to me, that she misunderstood. Didn't she?
- Father. - But Gil Dong,
do you know what really happened back then?
Did something happen inside?
No.
Ahjussi, please take good care of Father.
Don't worry.
And, then...
Ahjussi, take care of yourself.
Hurry and go.
Be careful.
- We will be going now. - Goodbye.
Orabeoni.
Yes.
Hey, where are they going?
I don't know.
You never know anything.
This punk...!
- Where is Mori? - He says he has a cold, and cannot serve you.
Young kids these days, they are such crybabies.
At a time like this?
I apologize.
Aigoo, Your Highness, please climb on me.
You taught them well.
They were farmhand nomads,
and I paid a lot of money for them. Please travel in comfort.
Make way! Prince Choong Won is coming through!
His Excellency Prince Choong Won coming through!
That punk, doesn't he have any pride?
Wow, how can Gil Dong be so fearless? I feel edgy as if looking
at a three-year-old playing by himself at a water edge.
Your Majesty, please travel the path of the virtuous man.
Please formally investigate Roh Sa Shin.
Your Majesty, please travel the path of the virtuous man.
Please formally investigate Roh Sa Shin.
None other than those
are the banners of this country Joseon.
They are the banners for Confucius and Mencius.
They do not appear to consider me as their king.
Ja Won.
Do you know why they disrespect me like that?
Because
I have the blood of the Deposed Queen.
Your Majesty.
Please bring me
300 wild chrysanthemums.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I will bring you the most fragrant chrysanthemums in all of Joseon.
Messenger Eunuch Elder.
I thought you liked me when I was at Danae Pavilion.
But why are you so cold towards me now?
With another man in your heart,
do you dare to approach His Majesty?
Let's do this. Let you and I make a bet.
They say that hundreds of Confucianists have gathered to bother His Majesty,
so His Majesty's anxieties have deepened.
That makes you sad as well, doesn't it?
To me,
please give me just one chance.
I will comfort His Majesty.
If I cannot comfort him,
on my own two feet,
I will leave the Bureau of Music.
No, I will accept any punishment.
His Majesty's worries,
don't you want to try and lift them?
Make way! Prince Choong Won is coming through!
Make way!
I will enter the palace early tomorrow, so get ready for that.
Yes, Your Highness.
You, you're the peddler of magic, right?
Who...? I think you are very mistaken.
You don't recognize me?
You played matchmaker between me and young nobleman Lee.
But we cannot have a son,
so I was wondering what the peddler of magic was doing, these days.
I think you are very mistaken.
Where did those men come from, and what did they do?
- You said they were farmhands for all their lives, didn't you? - I did.
Instead of your name, I can only remember you as the peddler of magic.
What was your name again?
Oh, right. It was G...
Aigoo, My Lady. (AH-GI-SSI = DAUGHTER OF NOBLE HOUSEHOLD)
How can you be here?
- Aigoo - Let go of me. Let me go.
Since getting divorced, My Lady has not been in her right mind. To everyone she comes across,
she's been asking for a son.
Aigoo, My Lady, I should punch you in the mouth.
Let's go, let's go!
Let's go. That way.
Aigoo, we come to Hanyang, and we meet some crazy wenches.
Gosh.
We were supposed to just watch. Why did you pop out like that?
When was it that you abandoned us and ran away?
Hey, who abandoned who?
Of course you abandoned us. Then did you leave just to piss?
- Why did you come back? - Who came back?
Just, well, you know...
We were passing by. By chance.
What are you talking about when you were following their every move?
When did I do that?
Fine. I followed you here.
You were all acting so dangerously.
Just looking at you, Gil Dong, you,
acting all "Whoa!" and the horse goes clip-clop...
So I missed you, and...
- What did you say? - What is he saying?
I said I missed you!
Ew, gross, what are you saying?
Wow, living away from you guys,
my goodness, it is no fun at all.
That is true. It was no fun.
Hyung-nim, I missed you, too.
Stop it! You are giving me goosebumps.
But I'm definitely not saying that I will help you defeat Prince Choong Won.
Hey, hey, dude.
- Have you told him? - Yes.
But His Majesty is busy with his duties.
I'm asking whether you told him that I am here!
Please tell him one more time.
This is where the king lives, huh?
Wow, is this really where the king lives?
Does His Majesty poop and have bad breath, too?
Oh, come on. Would the king have bad breath, ever?
He must poop, but I'm sure it smells different.
Isn't the king a human being?
Why is Gil Dong so ignorant about the world?
Are all human beings the same?
It's getting late.
Perhaps His Majesty will not meet with Prince Choong Won?
Who knows?
You waited for a long time.
Please come in.
Your Majesty, how sorrowful you must have been.
Prince Choong Won, it has really been a long time.
Fortune amidst misfortune, virtuous Your Majesty has inherited the throne.
So our people may feel happiness within their sorrow...
Come closer.
At times like this, I, your lowly servant, should stay by your side and assist you.
But I'm thousands of li (APPROX. HALF A KILOMETER) apart from you!
Where have you seen such disloyalty?!
Yes.
When I was young, you often visited me to play with me.
D-Do you remember?
Yes, I will continue to do so.
I will move to Hanyang and take care of you by your side.
However,
there is not any better place for you, Prince Choong Won than where you are, is there?
- Isn't that right? - Yes, Your Majesty.
The landscape there is stunning and majestic. It's truly a village for a virtuous man.
If possible, I would like to live where you are living.
Prince Choong Won,
I can only be envious of you.
Did you meet His Majesty?
Prince Choong Won! Prince Choong Won!
Please receive the Royal Decree from His Majesty.
During my difficult days
Prince Choong Won, you supported me. Why would I want to keep you away from me?
However, these days, Daegans are trying to find fault at me
with a fine-tooth comb.
So that is why I cannot keep you near me, and it is regrettable to me.
Your Majesty!
I am deeply honored!
Your Majesty! I am deeply honored!
I am deeply honored!
Your Majesty! I am deeply honored!
What did I tell you?
I said that His Majesty missed me very much, didn't I?
He will summon me to Hanyang very soon.
Of course His Majesty will, Your Highness.
Why so late? I said bring me more wine in the whole earthenware jar!
- Come here! - My Lord!
I brought the wine.
You...
Foot Stool.
You acted as my foot stool, so I should call you Foot Stool.
Aigoo, Your Highness, I am now your Foot Stool.
Hey, Foot Stool.
Have a drink.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Look at this, a foot stool is drinking wine.
But Gil Dong, do you know
what really happened that day?
Did Cham Bong Jo's wife apologize to me because I was really not guilty?
No.
That is not the case.
Your father
killed Cham Bong Jo with these hands.
Father.
Father, please...
Look at your father.
Look at your father!
That is what it means to challenge your superior.
You must get blood on your hands in order to make that happen.
And once you get blood on your hands, there is no turning back.
Not only that, the fight never ends.
By Prince Choong Won's side,
Cham Bong Jo's wife was there.
In broad daylight,
I must see Prince Choong Won have fingers pointed at him with blame, and pay for his sins.
So, you didn't kill him?
Isn't it too easy to kill him like this?
We have to keep him alive. While alive,
we must make him pray for death a thousand times.
Prince Choong Won was born and raised in Hanyang.
So I thought he would have many people to visit.
But no one came to see him, and he went to see no one. Only His Majesty.
If the king turns his back on Prince Choong Won, he will have no one to protect him.
But seeing how the king sent him a separate royal decree,
it does appear that he has a special relationship with the king.
If it's this certain that the king has his back,
how could we do anything?
In a few days, Prince Choong Won will leave Hanyang.
I will have to see our men in Hanyang.
Let them know that Father is alive,
and if even after that they still turn their backs to us,
take them out.
Aigoo, Eunuch Goo!
Aren't you glad to see me?
Is Sochool of Royal Attire Department in there?
Long time no see.
You, you guys...
It's been a long time.
Hey, Steward Kang!
When you were about to be sold off as a slave to the frontier,
Big Boss saved you.
Big Boss fed you, dressed you, and raised you to the position of Royal Steward.
Of course he did.
- So I always think of Big Boss like a father... - But,
you pretended not to know him?
The rumor is widespread that Big Boss has earned enmity from Prince Choong Won.
Prince Choong Won, towards His Majesty, since his days of being Crown Prince
greased his path, and everyone knows it.
How can someone as lowly as a Steward like me...
Have you heard any news from inside the palace?
You know very well what happened to
Sochool of Royal Attire Department?
So remember this. His Majesty is far away,
but Big Boss' people
are close by.
Hey, Gil Dong is a bit different from Big Boss, huh?
Yeah, Big Boss didn't tell us often to take anyone out.
Inside the palace, there is someone who we need.
Since you can enter the palace, please get some information about him.
About... who?
The king.
You will leave in a few days to Hanyang, to take the civil service exam.
The poetry exam and subject
will be selected by His Majesty himself.
I heard about that from my fellow students.
His Majesty loves poetry, and enjoys music and hunting.
And in those ways, he resembles his father, our Late King.
So I am studying poetrical style and the style of a writing that our Late King enjoyed.
That is not important.
The important thing is His Majesty's heart.
What kind of person is the king?
Please let me know.
You must get to know who His Majesty really is.
Only then, can you pass the exam.
