The people are saying that they now have Chief Hong, rather than the king.
The people admire the Hong thieves.
The Chief Hong outlaws are not stealing wealth.
They are stealing from Your Majesty,
they are stealing the hearts of the people.

Gil Hyun.
Don't you dare speak my name with your filthy mouth!
The heavens are so heartless. You betrayed my father
and killed my siblings, but instead of punishment
you dare to come to the palace to serve His Majesty?
So I am correct, right? You really
are Gil Hyun.
Look here, Amogae. Your son was alive.
I told you not to dare speak Father's name!
Gil Hyun, Gil Dong is waiting for you.
Do you know how much Gil Dong longed for you?
Gil Dong is waiting for me?
Gil Dong is alive.
He is alive and he is waiting for you.
Then where is he right now?
I don't know where he is right now...
Are you trying to deceive me again? Did you think you can deceive me twice?
No.
This time, I am not.
Yes, I lied about my identity
and deceived the king to be in this position.
So if you want to hurt me, try as much as you want.
But don't mention Gil Dong to me again.
I will definitely kill you.
Gil Hyun...
Amogae.
Amogae...
Hey, did you watch me defeat those barbarians?
I said, "Come out, my nunchakus!" and swung them this way, and three of them went down.
Then I swung them that way, and five of them went down.
Finally, I bashed it into the nostrils of their horse, and the horse went down...
Oh, stop already! Let me talk about me now!
In any case, of all the people we've met so far, no one knew about the "Geo-in."
So about that, those two "mok" characters in the front that mean "tree,"
it makes me wonder if those two know about the "Geo-in."
All right, in any case,
we will be passing Hanyang soon.
Gil Dong, why don't you visit Ga Ryerong?
Well, I don't have to...
If we travel in a gang, we are more noticeable.
So go alone, quietly by yourself.
- But don't stay there too long. - Yeah.
All right, aigoo.
We will wait for you at that place.
Gil Dong, don't forget to eat while you do it.
Yeah. But what will he be doing?
[With the sounds of the double-ended drum beating like
heartbeats, the courtesan was dancing in front of Cho Rong...
Omo, this is so good. I must have gone crazy.
Who is it?
Come out.
Come out when I'm asking nicely!
Wife, I'm here.
Orabeoni.
I had so many things I wanted to tell you when I saw you.
Go ahead. I will listen to it all.
But I can't remember anything right now.
I have to fetch the sweet rice drink and rice cakes for you.
But I'm afraid you will disappear while I am gone,
so I can't go.
But I still better go.
My husband must be hungry.
This is the new book I am writing.
You will be bored waiting for me, so read it.
I'm not bored.
It is so fun that you may be very surprised.
Don't be too surprised, though.
But wife...
"The Story of Do Ryeong"
"beating like heartbeats"
"the sounds of the double-ended drum"
It is surprising; how sleepy it makes me, the more I read this.
"was dancing in front of Cho Rong..."
My husband, you must have been so tired.
You're up?
You're hungry, right?
No.
Then sleep some more.
Instead of sleeping, maybe I'll do something else.
What?
Omo.
Something else.
What is this?
Come here.
Ga Ryeong.
Once in a while, these days, I forget Eorinie.
But I left to find Eorinie.
I'm an idiot, huh?
The world is full of strange things.
Because someone couldn't offer fruits to the
king after they've been spoiled by frost
they get hit on their buttocks and their flesh gets torn.
The military storage has run out of horses,
so dozens of villagers in the frontier
end up getting killed by barbarians.
But the more fascinating thing is
after enduring such things, no one gets angry.
They just weep instead.
Whenever I see such things, I get so angry that I think I will go insane.
And when I get so angry
I forget about Eorinie.
I just want to flip everything over.
Orabeoni.
And those jerk magistrates, they just blame the king.
"The king ordered me to do this."
"These are offerings for the king."
I don't know whether the king really ordered them to do that.
If I could have my way
I would like to have a word directly with the king myself.
Don't make it too complicated.
Hurry and find Eorinie
and let's go live where there is no Prince Choong Won.
And if you get too angry
help people out once in a while, when they've suffered unfairness.
We can just live like that.
Shall we?
If we live like we did before,
will that be enough?
On at least one spot marked on this map
the Hong thieves are bound to appear.
But recently, the Chief Hong gang
are appearing in areas in a direction from north to south.
So in my judgment, they will appear near Hanyang.
In Yeon-gun-jae, Bong-yari, or Duk-yi-mal.
I believe they will appear in one of those three villages.
So divide the officers into three
and have them disguised as porters or traveling actors.
Then release them to where many people gather, such as taverns.
Have them look thoroughly into situations in which
they see any strange people appear, and report back.
Yes.
Where will you be among these three villages, Lord?
I
will be at Yeon-gun-jae.
[YEON-GUN-JAE]
This is Yeon-gun-jae.
There is a Protector of Values living here, too.
Let's go.
We have to go complain, don't we?
Let's go! Let's go!
What is going on?
We received a loan from the Royal Finance Office.
But they suddenly increased the interest, so we got a little behind.
So they forcibly dragged away Mang Woo's cow and the cow ended up dead.
Without this cow, how can Mang Woo continue to farm?
A loan from the Royal Finance Office is money we borrowed from the nation.
So how can they do this?
So let us go, and
tell them that they need to pay for Mang Woo's cow.
Yes, let's go! Let's go!
Oh, can they really get anything done that way?
Why are you smiling? What makes you so happy?
They are being strong without crying, so that is nice to see.
Oh, he's doing it again. He's doing that again.
Aigoo, sheesh.
[OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT LOANS]
Does the king know that you are collecting 70% interest?
Aren't you collecting more just to pocket some for yourselves?
If you don't pay for the cow
we will appeal to His Majesty. You speak, too.
Please pay me back for my cow.
Do you know how I saved money for 10 years to buy that cow?
Why should I pay for a cow that died in your house?
While you were forcibly dragging the cow away
the cow's head got bashed in, so you should pay for it!
That is correct. Please pay for it.
Please pay for for it! Please pay for for it!
Why are you doing this? Why?
So you are the instigator. I will make an example out of you.
Those who are assigned to the Royal Finance Office
can punish those who interfere with his work, did you know that?
- Beat him! - Aigoo.
Please let me live.
Aigoo, Lord.
Aigoo, what to do?
Aigoo!
Aigoo! Aigoo, Lord!
Aigoo, Lord!
Aigoo, Lord, please let him live.
Aigoo, Lord!
Lord, please save him.
Aigoo.
All right, if anyone else wants to complain, let him come forward.
Look here.
Come on, Bok Man.
Bok Man, answer me.
Aigoo, Bok Man.
Look at me.
He died.
Bok Man is dead!
Aigoo.
The Royal Finance officer beat someone in a straw mat and killed someone.
He didn't die because of that,
but he was already sick, I heard?
Do you really believe that?
Mang Woo was there with him, and he said that, I heard.
Bok Man
was fighting for Mang Woo so he can get compensation for his cow.
Mang Woo is a very bad person.
He did not die because he was beaten.
He was already ill, and that is why he died. Isn't that true?
I... saw it.
He said he had a belly ache before he was beaten.
He was already gasping for breath before he was beaten.
Please don't lie!
Why are you doing this?
My husband.
Joo Chae Deuk is the officer in the Royal Finance office in this village.
Isn't the Royal Finance Office a place to
generate small amounts of money for the king?
So even if he punishes those who can't pay interest
the police can't do anything about it.
And this Joo Chae Deuk, he is the Protector of Values in this village, Yeon-gun-jae.
- This is Yeon-gun-jae. - You did what I asked you? - Yes.
- Then let's go. - Let's go.
[OFFICE OF GOVERNMENT LOANS]
I heard you're a big merchant?
So
how much money would you like to be loaned?
But what if I can't pay the interest?
You will have to sell your land.
But what if I still can't pay the interest?
Your neighbors and relatives must pay it.
And if I still can't pay
- will you beat me to death as well? - What?
Will you beat me to death
and claim that I had been sick?
What are you blabbering about, you bastard...?
You beat someone to death
and said that he died because he was already sick
That you told such a lie is being rumored everywhere.
Then I will kill you now
and say that you were not beaten to death
but that you were already sick. How about that?
So if you don't want to die, you will need to tell the truth, starting now.
Strange people were seen entering the Office of Government Loans.
Did your friend really die from illness?
Or was he beaten to death?
Even if you tell the truth, no harm will come to you.
I will take care of this officer.
And if anyone asks, tell them Chief Hong was here.
So please tell us. Was he
really ill already?
If I didn't lie and say that he was already ill
he threatened to take all my remaining land.
So I had no choice but to lie.
The truth is that Bok Man was killed by the beating.
The Office of Government Loans has been locked from the inside. It is suspicious.
They are quite bold to do this in bright daylight.
- Surround the Office of Government Loans. - Yes, sir.
Let's go!
The truth has now been revealed,
so please go to the magistrate and submit your complaint.
Thank you.
And you, how could you have done such a thing?
Gil Dong. Gil Dong. The royal officers are here.
Royal officers are here, I said!
Officer Joo, are you inside?
We should scatter. I will distract the royal
officers, so leave when you get a chance.
Yeah, but...
Won't you do as I tell you?
All right. But we will meet at that place later, okay?
Big Boss, please don't get hurt.
Officer Joo! Open the door!
What is going on in there?
We will go out.
We will go out, I said.
Be prepared.
- Chase him! - Yes!
Hyung-nim, he distracted the royal officers. Let's go.
Yeah? Okay, let's go.
Surrender yourself.
No!
- He's not the one. - But, I am certain...
I told you that he is not!
Let's go.
Lord, I am certain that he...
I think it was definitely him.
Will you disobey me?
Hurry and find him.
Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Gil Dong.
Gil Dong?
Gil Dong.
Hyung.
Are you really my hyung?
Are you really my Hyung Gil Hyun?
- Hyung. - Gil Dong.
Father.
He was alive. Father, Hyung Gil Hyun was alive.
Father, my hyung was alive.
What has happened?
Are you... perhaps...?
Hyung, how did you become a military officer who chases thieves?
Gil Dong.
Let's talk about the details later.
I will mislead the royal officers,
so you make sure to escape safely.
You must not create a big fight here.
Got it?
- Search this alleyway. - Yes, sir!
- Search thoroughly! - Yes, sir!
Hurry and go. Hurry.
You must escape safely.
- Let's go that way. - Yes, sir.
The military officer was behaving strangely.
I was certain that he was the thief
but the officer insisted that he wasn't, so we let him go.
You failed to catch the thief when he was right in front of you?
I apologize, Your Majesty. I will make sure to cut
the thief's throat and offer him to you next time.
But is it right that you failed to catch him?
Someone said that you, Chief Inspector Park, let the thief go.
Would I ever do that?
I was assigned the role of the military officer who catches thieves by His Majesty.
How could I let a thief go? Who would ever say such a thing?
One of your underlings definitely said so.
Of course, that doesn't make any sense.
Would Park Ha Seong knowingly let a thief go?
Isn't that right?
Your Majesty.
Ha Seong.
Do you know that you have changed?
You've filed a complaint about me, that I abused my
power when I interrogated Kim Duk Hyeong by torture.
And now you let go a thief who was right in front of your eyes.
What the heck are you thinking?
I reported you because you did abuse your powers.
And I didn't catch him because he was not a thief.
You are behaving strangely lately.
You don't seem to be the person that I knew.
The Park Ha Seong that I knew
would do absolutely anything to win the favor of His Majesty.
He would even sell out his own grandfather.
Yes, I did sell my grandfather out to win His Majesty's favor.
But I didn't sell my soul.
How about you?
Do you still have a soul?
Her?
Yes, she is Gil Dong's wife.
Do you want to greet her?
No.
I will do so next time.
So Gil Dong got married?
Yes.
Was it Gil Dong who sent Prince Choong Won into exile?
Yes.
I didn't even know that...
I didn't know anything at all...
That Gil Dong was left alone
shedding tears of blood...
Because I was able to serve our nation...
I lived on, smiling.
Gil Dong...
Please call back all the royal officers you've sent to various places.
Excuse me?
I have a plan, so call them all back.
And...
His Majesty has assigned me as the new military officer who catches thieves.
From today, take your hands off this matter.
What are you saying?
His Majesty is very disappointed in you, I hear.
So how long did you think
that you would be favored by His Majesty, over me?
Your Majesty, I began the work of catching the thief
so please allow me to finish it.
This time, I will catch the thief for sure and offer him to you.
Please leave that work to Administrator Jo from now on. But!
I don't think that you let the thief go.
But you did fail to catch him, isn't that a fact?
The Hong Thief dares to have contempt for His Majesty's Joseon.
So make sure to catch him and protect our king and our nation!
Those who know anything about the Hong thieves
must report anything they know, big or small.
Those who hide the Hong Thieves, or protect them,
or those who know of them but do not report it will all be considered traitors.
So they will punish anyone who helps the Chief Hong gang?
Aigoo, this is truly scary.
Big Boss, please don't get caught.

Please don't get caught, Big Boss.
Chief Hong, please don't get caught.
Aigoo, thank you!
Yes.
Aigoo.
Ah, goodness.
Why are they all not coming?
- Barmaid, please give it to us quickly. - Yes, sir.
Barmaid, please give us a bowl of soup and rice.
Welcome.
Thank you, come again.
Father.
How are you doing?
I am fine.
Oh, don't cry.
Eobsan. Eobsan.
We will be back soon,
so make sure to stay at home.
- Ahjussi. - Oh.
- Eobsan. - Did you wait long?
There, there. Aigoo.
Have you been well?
- Did you eat? - Yeah.
Why aren't the others coming?
Let's go that way.
Hold on.
Stop!
Stop there!
Thief Hong, listen well!
I will catch you today
and offer you to His Majesty!
When all of you return home, you have family,
parents and siblings, I know that.
So
I'm sorry. I
will make sure that you don't lose your lives.
Get him!
Chief Hong! Chief Hong! This way! This way!
Subtitles by the Rebels Team @Viki
Have you heard the rumor?
More than 50 royal officers failed to catch one Chief Hong.
One Chief Hong guy knocked down all those royal officers and ran away.
Oh, no way.
Hey, come on, I saw it with my own two eyes.
Oh my, he really won when it was one against 100?
Yes, that's what I said. Chief Hong, alone,
went "Roar!" and dealt with 100 men at once.
So was he caught? Chief Hong was caught?
Hey, how dare you question our Chief Hong? What do you think happened?
He wasn't caught!
Oh, that's what happened.
He defeated all those royal officers
and got away!
Do you like Chief Hong, too?
Yes, she does!
Have you heard about the strongman?
Yes. I heard that Chief Hong is the Mighty Child.
What? Where are there such things as the Mighty Child?
Aigoo, come on. Chief Hong, by himself
defeated all those royal officers, and you can still say that?
Right. If the Mighty Child doesn't die and survives
he will become a man of history who will flip over this world.
Well, wasn't it Chief Hong who defeated all those barbarians recently?
For me, I'm more curious about what Chief Hong looks like than our king.
You say such obvious things.
Hey, Chief Hong is really amazing. Once he strikes a blow...
Teacher, please allow me to meet with His Majesty, just once.
I have something
to tell His Majesty.
Lady.
Now is not the time to tell him about that, yet.
I was mistaken.
He is not someone who will be caught.
So we have to make him walk in by himself.
You
said you found the tail for these thieves?
Yes, Mori accomplished something very big this time.
Hurry and tell him.
You were correct.
The people were praising the thief.
They were admiring the thief.
Haven't I told you?
The Hong thief is not interested in wealth. He is
eating away at the foundation of Joseon...
Are you
trying to teach me now?
No, I am not trying to teach you.
I am trying to protect you.
Your Majesty. First capture those who were in league with the thief
and make the Hong Thief get down on his knees to you, on his own.
Those who were in league with him?
Aigoo, what nice weather.
What is this?
Hey, why are they so late?
I really hope nothing happened.
Yeah.
What is that?
Those rotten...!
Get them!
Hey, that guy...
Hyung-nim! Hyung-nim!
Eobsan!
Those who were in league with the thief
and all those who were associated with Chief Hong have been arrested.
So Thief Hong should come forward and confess his crimes.
Orabeoni.
My bride's cooking skills...!
Well, it's better than my Ga Ryeong's storybooks.
Hey, come on.
Ummm...
I saw the official notice posted.
- The government... - Ga Ryeong.
I will eat all of this
and go see my Hyung-nims.
Hyung-nims
are waiting for me.
Of course.
I knew you would.
But
I know that you, Orabeoni...
Ahjussi Soboori...
that you have to go rescue him and the other ahjussis...
What do I do?
♫ following the beautiful moonlight ♫
♫ on that path ♫
Aigoo, goodness.
♫ holding the hem of your clothes as you leave ♫
Even more than tigers, tears falling from my bride's eyes
is more scary to me.
Ga Ryeong, I
won't say that I am sorry.
Because I won't do anything I will be sorry to you for.
So don't cry, and wait for me.
I will rescue our Hyung-nims and bring them back.
I will return.
- Hyung. - Gil Dong.
I've prepared for your passage by boat to Ming.
Hyung.
I plan to turn myself in.
No. You must never!
Hyung, I have something to tell you.
Please listen carefully to what I tell you.
Your Majesty, all those who were in league with Thief Hong
I have arrested them all.
Arrested them?
Did you also catch Hong Gil Dong, who is said to have great strength?
Well... not yet.
So you didn't catch the leader?
Your Majesty, Chief Inspector Park is entering.
Your Majesty, I have arrested the leader of the Hong Thieves.
What's wrong?
That man.
He's the leader of the Hong thieves, right?
Yes, I think so.
But why?
I just feel a little bad for him.
Why feel bad for a thief?
Let's go. They are waiting for us.
He does seem familiar, somehow.
Aigoo, you are a human flower.
You shall be washed in piss! Why are you so late?
We were late watching the thief. We apologize.
Kids these days...
Watching the thief?
We heard that the leader of the Hong Thieves have been caught.
The Hong Thief is said to possess amazing strength.
They call him a strongman, or the surviving Mighty Child.
Thinking that the Mighty Child was caught,
it makes me pity him, for some reason.
His Majesty is entering!
Your Majesty, this man is the leader of the Hong Thieves.
Speak!
I address His Majesty. I am Gil Dong of the Hong clan.
I am Hong Gil Dong!
