One, two. Slowly, like this.

Our Yonggae with nunchucks. How awesome of you.
I know, right?
As long as I have my nunchucks I fear nothing in this world.
Bring it on!
But what shall we do about your fear of women?
Huh?
Our fake monk.
I should fix your farting problem before I die, at least.
Aigoo, in that case, you will live forever, Big Boss.
I only believe in you, Fake Monk.
Huh?
I mean that I have faith in you, Monk.
Yes, Big Boss.
Yes, I really used to be a nobleman.
But no one believes me.
So, the thing is...
The truth is, I was adopted into a nobleman's family.
Isn't an adopted son also a son of a nobleman?
And when I was young, I was so cute...
Big Boss, how come I'm just Ggeutsoi, still?
I had already requested Magistrate Eom
to make a nickname for you.
- "Twist Ggeutsoi" - Twist?
Unlike how you look, you are sensitive and full of cuteness.
They say that's called a "twist."
Twist Ggeutsoi?
I don't want to take the surname Hong.
If I become a Hong, then I become siblings with Orabeoni Gil Dong, right?
Do you like my Gil Dong?
Yes.
Oh, but Orabeoni Gil Dong likes someone else, not me.
Gil Dong likes you, too.
Big Boss, aren't you cold?
Oh, Friend. Please speak casually to me.
I am curious about something.
At that time, why did you help me?
Are you okay?
This man is definitely... not the one.
- Why didn't you report me? - It's my choice.
I told you it was my choice.
What about you? Then, why did you join my side?
I thought that
you were a crazy bastard.
You said you were going to knock down your own master.
Without fear, you suggested we get into the smuggling business.
And somehow or another, we ended up playing together.
I must have lost my mind briefly.
But that Gil Dong over there.
Gil Dong is the real crazy punk.
He dared to knock down a royal, didn't he?
How much farther to your mother?
We're almost there. Maybe another half a day of walking?
You must be very tired.
No.
Do you know how your mother and father first got together?
One time, I was beaten badly by Cham Bong Jo.
So I thought that it was all so dirty and petty and that I couldn't take it anymore.
So I made up my mind to run away in the middle of the night.
But somehow your mother found out about that
and was waiting at the wall, crying her eyes out.
She was a coy young maiden who used to barely
answer me when I tried talking to her before.
But she shed giant drops of tears, and
she said, "Are you really going to leave?"
That really broke my heart.
So I ended up settling down.
So your mother felt sorry to your father for the rest of her life.
She said that she should have let me go
so that I could have flown away with the wind.
But if it wasn't for your mother,
would I have ever known the happiness of being born as a human?
Gil Dong.
Yes?
Now that I think about it, I, your father,
was able to survive because of you.
So you must think about our Hong clan
and make sure to survive for them, all right?
Can we ask you a question?
Go and help them.
I'll be back soon.
Wife, just a half day more
and I can be by your side.
- Thank you. - Travel safely.
Father, how come you didn't notice that your shoe came off?
♫ The spring that we had been waiting for ♫
♫ is finally coming, but you are leaving me? ♫
♫ The long and long winter ♫
♫ has completely passed ♫
♫ So why are you leaving me? ♫
My father,
you've had hardships.
You've had such hardships.
Father, in our next lives
let's be father and son again.
In our next lives,
Father, you should be born as my son.
For you, my father,
I will let you study your letters
and buy you honey taffy
and dress you in silk.
Mother, Hyung Gil Hyun, and Eorinie.
I will protect them so that we will not be apart.
So please, in our next lives,
let's be father and son again.
You've had such hardships.
You've had such hardships...
Father...
Father!
♫ From which we can never return ♫
♫ that perilous road ♫
Father!
♫ On the road I had to take ♫
♫ On the road with full of hardships ♫
♫ Why are you taking that road, instead of me? ♫
Gil Dong.
Yes?
No need to make it complicated.
You were born, so you live.
If you have something to fight for, then you fight.
And then when it's time, you die.
♫ While we wait for ♫
Father.
The man born as the son of a slave, and raised as a slave.
After receiving the lowly name of "Amogae,"
the man who died as that same Amogae.
With his bare hands and empty fists, he fought against his tough life
and endured and survived. He is that man.
How could I ever forget my father's voice
that called my name?
Gil Dong.
- Gil Dong. - Gil Dong.
♫ ...it has all passed, so why ♫
♫ are you leaving me? ♫
Father.
Yes, indeed.
Sitting at a desk like this suits my Gil Hyun best.
Father.
Go ahead and recite your letters.
I want to watch my Gil Hyun studying.
Yes, Father.
When Mencius was about to leave, after giving up being the subject of the king,
the king looked for Mencius and said,
"I was wishing to meet you from many days ago, but I could not make it happen."
"Having you on my side
brought the happiness to all the people in the government..." [FROM MENCIUS]
Father!
Father...
Father.

Prince Choong Won has disappeared and Amogae is dead, too.
Now the silver mine will become mine.
About now, because of Amogae's death,
they must not be in their right minds.
So now is the chance.
Yes.
But among them, there is one who possesses superhuman strength.
In the past, he fought against dozens of men alone.
They said that he was wearing a mask, so they could not see him.
We have to separate him from the rest in order to be successful.
Do you know who he is, by chance?
Superhuman strength...
I think I know who it is.
Ggeutsoi. It can only be him.
I saw him brag about his strength a few times.
What is it?
These bastards!
Ga Ryeong!
Let go of me! Orabeoni!
Serves you right.
This is the final road my father is taking.
Just what do you think you are doing?
Ggeutsoi can't use his strength, and none of you brought your weapons.
So there is nothing you can do.
What is it that you want?
The silver mine... and
one of your ears.
Did you think that I forgot about losing my ear?
Today, instead of your father's ear, I will take yours.
Leader Heo, I will request you for the final time.
On Father's final road, let us not shed blood.
Drag away the wench.
Sweep everyone out!
I will kill every one of you who touched one of my people!
Mori, let's go.
You need to protect me. You have to protect me.
Come here. Hurry, Eorinie.
Orabeoni.
It's all right. Come here.
Orabeoni.
Eorinie. Eorinie.
Eorinie. Come here.
Now it's alright.
Eorinie, I didn't lose you this time.
Orabeoni! Orabeoni! Orabeoni!

So... How is Gil Dong?
He ate and he's sleeping now.
He still can't remember?
What exactly is going on?
There is something you guys don't know about Gil Dong.
What did we just see?
That guy, he's not a human, is he? He's a beast.
Leader, I think you should hide for a short while.
No, instead of that, let's go and beg forgiveness from Gil Dong right now.
If we make a guy like that into our enemy, we will die for sure.
Leader, that bastard's father tried to cut your ear off.
Did you already forget how insulting it was? And
you're saying we should beg him for forgiveness?
I will escort you safely. Let us briefly hide away
and plan our next steps.
Did you come back to your senses? Do you recognize me?
Do you remember?
Of course, I do.
You are Ga Ryeong, who slapped me on the first day we met.
Ga Ryeong, who followed me all the way from Danae Pavilion.
And you are the one
who was so good to my father, Ga Ryeong.
Ga Ryeong, I will become your real Orabeoni now.
♫ When I wake up all of a sudden, ♫
♫ I long for you quietly ♫
Just stay here for today. I will take you to a friend's place tomorrow.
Please let us live. Please let us live!
Can we really spare the person who defiled our Big Boss's final road?
It wasn't me. I wanted to beg on my knees and ask you for forgiveness.
Mori!
He said that we must never beg you. It's the truth! Please believe that.
L-Leader.
Hey! You better tell them the truth.
I was going to beg them, but you stopped me, didn't you?
So you have to take responsibility.
Didn't you ask me to be brothers with Big Boss?
Didn't you ask me to become Big Boss's brother?
I thought you two were very close.
Didn't you consider him as a son?
Son? No way.
I don't even know where he came from,
but I pitied him and took him in.
We don't have any kind of relationship.
Our relationship doesn't mean a thing!
Alright.
Let's take only Mori.
- Release Heo Tae Hak. - Hey, Gil Dong...
But Leader Heo, you can never become our brother ever again.
That is the punishment for Leader Heo.
Thank you! Thank you, Gil Dong!
Hey, eat this.
Oh! That rotten bastard...
Was that good?
Mori will take care of Heo Tae Hak.
For a thug, being betrayed by his underling is
the greatest dishonor, isn't it?
Leader, where are you going?
Mori, you...
are alive.
What a relief.
What did I do before and where did I come from?
You were always curious, weren't you?
When I was about six years old,
my father
tried to push me off a cliff and kill me.
He said that it was a mistake, but I knew
that my father really
tried to kill me.
So I ran away.
Even now, why my own father tried to kill me,
I cannot know. Yes,
I am a son whose father tried to kill him.
So I was someone who had no reason nor worth to live.
But you took me in, Leader.
From then on, I lived thinking that you were my father.
Sometimes,
I would, by myself,
call you, "Father."
I pledged...
to serve you as my father for all of my life.
Mori.
For you,
I will become your true father...
But I was wrong.
Indeed,
I am not meant to have a father.
Mori killed Leader and ran away.
Please accept us.
- Big Boss! - Big Boss!
Big Boss!
Do you think they will at least earn their meals?
But they are Heo Tae Hak's underlings.
- Big Boss! - Big Boss!
They say that the Big Boss of Yiquari is super strong.
- How strong? - That he is faster than a tiger and stronger than a bear.
Oh, how can that be true?
I am telling you the truth. Just wait and see.
Truth? My foot.
- Big Boss! - Big Boss!
- Aigoo, Big Boss!
Father,
I brought you to Mother's side.
Isn't it nice?
Father,
the promise I made with you, I will make sure to keep it.
I will definetely protect our Hong clan
so that they will not fall off a cliff.
Gil Dong, I would like it if you left Yiquari.
You are so strong, so why do you need to live as a thug?
As your father said, you should take the military service exams
and serve as a royal commander or an admiral.
Big Boss is gone, but I wish that you...
Mister,
my father's wish wasn't for me to become a royal commander.
My father's real wish
was that we, the Hong clan
would not fall off a cliff, and would live on, safely.
So I thought about it a lot.
How can our Hong clan
live on without falling off a cliff?
I, rather than to people like judges or ministers,
I will bow my head to the highest point in all of Joseon.
Highest point?
The king. I will receive the support of the king.
I hear that the king's authority is quite strong these days.
Based on what the guests of Hwal Bin Jeong say,
after the big uproar in the year of Muo (1498),
the Confucian scholars who used to appeal to the king constantly
have all disappeared.
I would like to make Daeja Mountain my hunting ground.
What do you think of that?
And at least four times a month,
I really want to go hunting.
That is reasonable.
That's not all. According to Palace Maids Han Deok in the king's chamber,
the king doesn't pay any attention to his daegans
and does everything he wants to.
As I observed last time, the royal bodyguards' saddles were all worn out.
How can my dignity be established
when my royal bodyguards are equipped with such old saddles?
For the next hunting trip,
change all the saddles for the royal bodyguards.
However, Your Majesty, the money in the Royal Treasury...
Yes. I will take your royal order.
Alright.
His Majesty finally got to smile. How can you say it like that?
But the Royal Treasury is almost running out of silver.
That should be dealt with without letting the king know.
To win the king's favor,
we must give him something that he needs, right?
Monk, I heard that the king goes hunting a lot and throws parties,
so he is running out of money, right?
How about giving him our silver?
Would a few chunks of silver be enough for a king?
We might have to give him the whole silver mine.
Hey, it was so hard for us to find that silver
mine. How can we give it away to the king?
- We can never do that. - No way, Monk.
Let's do that.
Silver mine, let's give it to the king.
Hey, what are you saying?
- Hyung-nim. - Let's hear him out.
If we give the silver mine, half of it will be taken as the nation's expenses,
but we will have the right to confidently
become official employees of the silver mine.
"That is reasonable." In order to hear those words...
Those people finally know to fear their king.
However,
it does feel a bit trivial.
After just a few floggings, how quickly
they spit those words, "That is reasonable."
How banal.
And how futile it feels.
But how come my Royal Father
did not select this easy path?
Right.
Royal Father was probably trying to emulate Emperors Yao and Shun,
and thereby become the highest banner for Confucius and Mencius in Joseon.
But Ja Won, since very long ago,
I never believed in Emperors Yao and Shun.
All of that stuff
is rubbish.
Come to think of it, I failed to give a prize to
the one who deserved the biggest prize of all.
Thanks to you, I was able to find the traces
of those who despise their superiors.
No one has ever been more honest towards me than you have.
You said that you would like to meet someone as your prize?
Yes, Your Majesty.
Who is it? Perhaps a paramour you cherished?
My mother was also a Village Hall's gisaeng.
There is a magistrate who forced my mother
to offer her own daughter to him so that I could provide bed service to him.
One day, I hope to meet him again,
and the tears of blood my mother shed that day,
for certain,
I wanted to repay him for it.
However, I became a gisaeng myself just like my mother.
So
what power would I have?
Hurry and dust those pillows!
Right there, massage me right there.
Are you the person who had served as a Magistrate in Osan seventeen years ago?
Kim Choong Geun? Is that you?
Yes, I am, but...?
While you served as a Magistrate,
you had embezzled from the nation's treasury, and it was just discovered.
His Majesty ordered us to take you to the Royal
Investigation Bureau and interrogate you with torture.
Take him away!
- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!
What are you saying?
How can you now talk about what happened 17 years ago?
Do you have corroborative evidence? Do you have any evidence?
I am the witness
and I am the corroborative evidence.
Do you...
remember me?
Who are you?
I guess you wouldn't know me.
You probably don't remember at all.
You caused bloody bruises on the hearts of a mother-daughter pair,
and you forgot everything, probably.
At last, today...
that I am alive and not dead...
it finally
feels worth it.
- What's going on? - Your Excellency!
- Your Excellency. - Let go of me.
Let me give you the list of names of contributors
besides Park Ha Seong and other court reporters.
Six Confucian scholars including Kim Ueup, had reported
who hid the collection of Kim Jong Jik's books.
And the one who arrested Prince Choong Won as
he tried to run away, Magistrate Eom Ja Chi.
Magistrate Eom Ja Chi has contributed to our nation
by apprehending traitors in the year of Muo.
Upgrading Eom Ja Chi's rank by two levels,
I am promoting you to the position of administrator in the capital.
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by the Rebels Team @Viki
Eom Ja Chi, you have made it.
You even have the honor to meet the king himself.
Someone is offering to give their silver mine?
Yes, Your Majesty. Regarding the magistrate who arrested Prince Choong Won,
Eom Ja Chi, a citizen who lives in that village named Soboori
offered to give you his silver mine.
When someone discovers a silver mine, they would keep it quiet
among themselves, and try to profit from it.
Why would they want to give it to me?
Certainly, they would like to contribute to our
nation and would like something in return.
His Majesty would have received it, right?
That is... So... His Majesty...
That citizen who offers his silver mine,
he wants to meet him in person.
Yes, indeed. He should.
I can't go.
I won't go.
Based on my recent experience, I was shocked
by how lax the security was at the palace.
When I was playing the fake Foot Stool, I
even took a fake identification tag with me.
But no one even inspected it.
So?
I'm telling you not to worry so much.
If His Majesty offers you a prize for the silver mine,
then you must do exactly as I tell you.
I can't go.
I won't GO!
Are you Soboori, who offered his silver mine to our nation?
I am... deeply... grateful...
Your heart in supporting me is quite precious.
I want to give you a prize.
I didn't... find the silver... mine... all by... myself.
I have... a group of friends... but... they couldn't come here today.
Your Majesty, by your... side, Your Majesty...
We wish... to... support you...
Hey you! Soboori!
Hey! Soboori!
Hey!
Soboori! Sobo—!
Soboori!
Watch out. Be careful.
Come to your senses, man!
Hey, come on!
Now that is a genuine citizen.
He fears the king so much that he can't even dare to look at my eyes.
I want to give a prize for the silver mine.
Since he distinguished himself by offering a silver mine, how about granting
him a miscellaneous post in the Royal Mineral Resources Department?
Oh.
We did it.
His Majesty bestowed upon Soboori a miscellaneous
post in the Royal Mineral Resources Department.
Oh, my goodness.
It's a technical official with 9B in the government office rank.
You're not quite a nobleman, but you are now a dignified government employee.
Gosh, to me, they gave me a g-government job?
Aigoo, wow.
Then we don't have to run away when the
officers from the Village Hall come to get us?
And we don't have to look away when we meet eyes with the officers?
Aigoo, you are all rubes (COUNTRY BUMPKINS). I was already a royal steward.
As for your position, technical official, it's like an honorary
post which doesn't require you to go to the palace every day.
In any case, if you say, "I am a Technical Official with rank
9B from the Royal Mineral Resources Department" in Hanyang,
people will greet you with a big welcome, "Aigoo, welcome."
Now, you've all heard it.
This is an important position that we've earned by sacrificing our silver mine.
Now that we've made a place for us in Hanyang
let's go take our seat in Hanyang.
♫ If spring comes to us ♫
Wow, this is where we will live in Hanyang?
This place is called Woot-Dae.
They are not noblemen, but they are people who earn
money well, or have government jobs with good salary.
This is where the wealthiest people in Joseon live.
If we live here, no one will call us thugs anymore and point their fingers of shame.
♫ We all shout out, Hooray ♫
♫ and a butterfly flies in ♫
♫ When a bashful flower bud opens its door ♫
♫ When our sadness melts away by shouting out hooray, ♫
♫ let's hold each other's hands ♫
♫ If spring comes to us ♫
Please take a look inside.
Wow.
Come this way. I have something to show you.
You've had a tough time living with a bunch of smelly old men.
This is your room in Hanyang from now on.
I didn't know you'd make a place for me in Hanyang.
From now on, anything you want or wish for, I will do it all for you.
Everything.
I'll be good.
I'll be good to you, Orabeoni,
and I won't get cranky at the misters...
You can do anything you want to.
I will buy you flower shoes, and pretty clothes,
and I'll marry you off to the world's best man.
I think...
that you don't understand something, but I am not a Hong.
Make sure you know that.
No, oh... no.
Hwal Bin! Hwal Bin!
I am okay.
Please make him clothes as well.
Indeed, anything looks good on me, because I am so handsome.
The truth is, I was originally a nobleman,
so I have experience wearing nice clothes— GOSH! HOT!
Ggeutsoi doesn't like being touched!
Let her measure your sizes for your clothes.
Okay. Okay.
Come in.
Everyone's been waiting for me, huh?
This really suits me well, doesn't it?
The color is a bit...
Yes, I don't think those colors are right.
Right? I thought she would look pretty, but she doesn't.
It doesn't suit you well.
Go!
I was joking.
Go!
Come!
His Majesty ordered Royal Secretary to deliver
some medicine to Roh Sa Shin, I heard.
It appears that His Excellency Roh Sa Shin will pass away soon.
Welcome.
Welc...
Please stay lying down.
I'm grateful that you came to visit me.
I thought that you disliked me.
Why would I dislike you?
I feel the opposite.
I know that you possess true loyalty.
As you can see, I don't have many days left to live.
Your Excellency.
No need to be surprised.
I've lived enough and enjoyed enough.
I have no regrets.
Just... I am scared.
I am scared of His Majesty's intelligence.
His Majesty still has a big problem he has yet to solve.
Deposed Queen.
Look how bloody winds had blown over the Great King Sejo situation.
But if in the future His Majesty wants to avenge what happened to his own mother,
then who will be there to stop His Majesty?
His Majesty is not someone who punishes his vassals over his personal issues easily.
His Majesty merely pulled out by the roots those who disrespected their superiors.
"Disrespected their superiors..."
Hearing those words makes me feel like I'm seeing someone from the past.
He said those same words.
That getting rid of those who "disrespected their superiors" is true loyalty.
However, you are a smart person.
So start thinking about this, slowly.
What is true loyalty
and why do we need loyalty?
I request you.
Before I die, I will nominate you for the inspector
position in the Office of Inspector General.
So that His Majesty's power doesn't fall into the hands
of those who hold grudges, please make an effort.
Those who hold grudges...
who, in order to relieve their grudge, would even use the king
or even use our nation's citizens.
Your Highness.
Prince Choong Won.
Did you say that there was a person who helped
us to get Prince Choong Won the other day?
I heard from the torture officer who made Prince
Choong Won into a eunuch during the interrogation,
when Lee Jong Soo first accused Prince Choong Won, everyone
retreated out of fear because Prince Choong Won was royalty.
But one court reporter insisted on interrogating
Prince Choong Won, without exception.
It really was like the heavens had helped us.
That court reporter, what was his name?
Park Ha Seong, a young court reporter.
We can't ignore someone who helped us, can we?
