We sent the palace guards from the Capital Bureau
but they have already disappeared.
Park Ha Seong is not Park Ha Seong?
What does that mean?
Park Ha Seong is Hong Gil Dong's older brother?!?
What does that mean?
Hong Gil Dong... his older brother?
Eorinie, brother is sorry.
How lonely you must have been. How painful it must have felt.
I am not Eorinie.
Eorinie.

[REBEL: THIEF WHO STOLE THE PEOPLE]
I didn't recognize Gil Hyun... - Episode 26 -
and offered him liquor and had conversations with him.
With that bastard... that bastard!
It's not something to just be angry about.
It's not something to be angry about?
This is an opportunity.
Who was Park Ha Seong? He was one of Song Gong's most prized students.
Lady, this is the opportunity to help Jeong Hak fly up high.
I will use my head and help Jeong Hak
catch that bastard, Gil Dong.
If we catch Gil Dong this time,
that contribution
will not belong to Song Gong but only to Jeong Hak.
Your Majesty... Park Ha Seong...
Maybe you have some connection with that Hong Gil Dong bunch, Song Gong?
Prince Choong Won!
How can you say that?
His Majesty kept Park Ha Seong close to his side
because he was a prized student of yours, Song Gong.
But it turns out that
he is of the same blood as that Thief Hong.
His Majesty was not betrayed by Park Ha Seong,
but he was betrayed by Song Gong.
Your... Your Majesty!
Did you really not know Park Ha Seong's true identity?
Please believe me. I, too,
was deceived by Park Ha Seong.
Eorinie, it's me, Magistrate Eom.
Yes, Eorinie. You've seen me since you were a little toddler. Right?
Eorinie, can't you remember me?
It's me, the handsome Eobsan.
Eorinie, I carried you on my back every day when you were this small.
Eorinie, you used to follow me everywhere. Don't you remember that?
Hey, Eorinie, I used my nunchakus to
get you persimmons and apples. Don't you remember that?
Eorinie, you used to love to touch my head because it was prickly.
Go on, touch it again.
- Touch it. - Try touching it.
Touch it.
What are you doing?
Brother...
waited for you for so long, do you know?
Do you know how much
I looked for you?
I... No...
We have never forgotten you for a single day.
But you forgot all about us?
What are you talking about?
Look at this. It matches perfectly.
Eorinie, I am your brother
and you are my only little sister.
Why are you doing this to me? I am not Eorinie.
I told you that I am not!
All right, that is fine.
Calm down.
Gil Dong,
let's leave her be.
Eorinie will continue to be with us,
so let's give her time.
Why must I be with these people for the rest of my life?
It feels strange. I am afraid.
Please enjoy your food.
It tastes so good, thank you.
Have one more.
Ga Ryeong.
Why aren't you eating? You should eat well
so you can be strong, my husband.
♫ at the end of the dark road, shining alone ♫
Ga Ryeong,
I'm scared.
About what?
These people...
That I will make tears flow from these people's eyes.
I am afraid of that.
You silly.
Why worry about that now?
♫ suddenly, one, two, they disappear ♫
Hurry and eat.
♫ the wound has healed ♫
♫ the rainy season has ended ♫
♫ and the me in the mirror was smiling ♫
♫ I want to follow the star up to the sky ♫
♫ and become a star, too ♫
♫ I will erase all the tears of you and everyone in the world ♫
Ga Ryeong, where are you?
Where are you, Ga Ryeong?
Thief Hong
and his Hyung, Gil Hyun. How will you catch them?
I am currently looking for information
at the last location the traitor Gil Hyun and his soldiers were last seen.
It may take some time, but I will definitely catch them.
Your Majesty, Prince Choong Won is here.
Administrator Jo, I will appoint you Officer of Catching Thieves.
I will appoint Mori as your Vice General.
Along with him, make sure to catch the thieves and bring them back.
But...
Your Majesty, he is a mere slave. How can you make him a Vice General...?
Can you fight with Hong Gil Dong
and win?
This time, also,
you would prefer to act on your own, right?
But...
Do that.
Excuse me.
The royal soldiers passed by this village, didn't they? Where did they go?
After they traveled behind that mountain, we didn't see them again, at all.
General Hong! General Hong!
General Hong, the royal forces are searching the mountain.
Don't worry.
This mountain doesn't open its roads to just anyone.
Yes, but still
let's do what we prepared.
- Search thoroughly! - Yes, sir!
Why is the fog so thick?
Didn't you hear a sound?
Be quiet. Please be quiet.
- You heard that, right? - Yes.
It kind of sounds like an animal crying.
Over there.
It's there! Get them!!
Which way is it?
Who are you?
We are currently searching for a gang of thieves on His.
Majesty's command. But what about you, Magistrate?
His Majesty is asking for animal skins as tributes
so we were working with a group of hired hunters.
Have you seen royal forces traveling this road?
I thought I heard a strange noise.
There are many animals in this area, so you will hear all kinds of sounds.
And since we come out every day to hunt,
if royal forces were here, there is no way I would not have seen them.
Try going over there, to the foot of the mountain.
If thieves were running away, that would be the only way they could go.
Thank you. Let's go.
Thank you. But if you are not careful,
you could be in danger as well, Magistrate.
Why did you help us?
I am a sincere person who cares for our people.
When you recently invaded the palace,
you hung signs of shame around the necks of the statesmen, I heard?
- Yes, we did. - Goodness.
It was so satisfying!
The people who gave birth to me are my mother and father,
but someone else has made me this way.
It is you.
Your Majesty, why can't you sleep again?
He asked for Ga Ryeong again?
Yes.
Aiyoo, Ga Ryeong, that damn girl.
What an ungrateful girl. How dare she!
Since my past with Gil Dong has been revealed,
there is no way His Majesty will ask for me, for the time being.
But how can you be so calm about this?
He may be angry now,
but His Majesty will return to me, for sure.
How do you know that?
His Majesty is like a well,
that is too deep and too dark
for Ga Ryeong to deal with.
Never mind that. Please bring Ok Ran here.
About you and Ga Ryeong,
you both just met. Since when have you two become so close?
About that... I think Unni Ga Ryeong mistook me for Sang Hwa.
She mistook you for Sang Hwa?
Yes. Sang Hwa always carries a piece of a blue cord with her.
But Unni Ga Ryeong thought that cord was mine.
What does that mean?
I don't really know, but she said that the other
half of that cord belongs to someone else.
She said that the one who has that cord is just like her blood relative.
Why
are you so good to me?
That is because
you are like my own sister, that's why.
That blue cord you always carry with you,
do you know who has the other half?
A half of a blue cord?
Unni, this was tied to the wrist of that idiot. Should I give it back to him?
Your Majesty, I will tell you a tale of a strange village I heard from the outside.
A tale of a strange village?
Yes, Your Majesty.
There was a mountainous village
with good water and fertile land.
This village enjoyed a good harvest every year, and
all the children's cheeks were red with health.
Every home was filled with smoke from the fires of abundant cooking.
It was a village with plenty, where laughter never ended.
But that village had a big secret.
In the northern part of the village, in a dank
area where there was no light and no trees grew,
there was a deserted house.
In that deserted house, a small, starving boy lived.
That was that village's big secret.
No one knows why, but that village's peace and good harvest could only happen
if this boy was locked in this cold and dank house.
The village people would find out about the boy when they turned 20 years old.
A few people would leave the village, because they could not enjoy
the good harvest that was the result of persecuting this boy.
But others chose to remain because
they could feed their families due to the sacrifice of one boy.
Your Majesty, would such a village really exist?
Imagine that such a story is circulating on the outside.
That is indeed strange.
Your stories are enjoyable beyond expectation, indeed.
You have given me enjoyment, so I want to give you a gift.
Would a sapphire be good? Or maybe a pearl the size of a bean?
Your Majesty,
rather than sapphires, if you would forgive Woon Pyeong Sang Hwa, then I—.
Your Majesty.
I found the person who divulged the events in the palace.
Aigoo, so adorable.
I must tell Teacher the location of this mountain hideout.
I am your brother.
No, they are all trying to deceive me.
You have nothing.
The only people you can trust and rely on are us.
This won't do. Let's go bring her back.
No, I must see where she is going.
She must be hungry.
Come in, okay? Come on.
I will give you a bowl of rice and soup.
Barmaid.
About that young girl over there. Please give her a plate of boiled beef, too.
Yes, sir.
Eorinie, where are you going so diligently?
I told you to not divulge anything that happens in the palace to the outside,
but you have spread rumors about what happened in the palace? Why did you?
Recently you asked us Ga Heung Cheong members to
write down our husbands' names and give them to you.
And recently, my husband was sent into exile.
Your Majesty, why... why did you do that?
So you did that because you were angry at me?
What shall I do with you?
Subtitles by the Rebels Team @Viki.
Come this way.
You have nothing.
The only people you can trust and rely on now are us.
You are a child who was abandoned by your family.
So you must trust in us. You must obey us.
Eat it.
Eat one every day.
It is precious medicine that will help you become reborn.
I will ask again. What is your name?
My name is Eorin—.
What is your name?
- My name is... - My name is...
Eori—.
My name is...
Eorinie.
My name is Eorinie.
Brother...
- Please help me meet with my brother. - Brother...
Gil Dong Orabeoni,
please help me meet him.
Eorinie.
You trust brother, right?
I am your brother
and you are my only little sister.
Gil Dong, Gil Dong Orabeoni.
Aigoo, Miss Ugly.
- I am not Miss Ugly. - You sure are Miss Ugly.

I was going to bring you some water.

Eorinie.
Eorinie?

Big Brother.
Gil Hyun Orabeoni.
Eorinie.
After learning from Teacher for several years,
you could leave that place as a Geo-in.
The friends who failed to learn...
Some would die there.
What kind of people are gathered at that place?
They are...
People like you are the treasures of Joseon. Shall I tell you why?
Ruling a country is about making choices.
I choose people who will receive rewards,
and I choose people who will receive punishment.
Then who shall I give punishment to?
I should give punishment to people who Joseon does not need.
At that place, there were people who lost their families,
like me, or wives who were abandoned by their husbands.
Some were slaves who talked back to their masters, or people
who failed to pay the interest on their government loans.
And some were nomads who couldn't pay their taxes because they did not own land.
And...
Subjects who slander the king, like you did. Subjects who nag the king.
Subjects who dare to try and teach the king.
If I lock one up, isolate them, and beat them, the other 99 subjects will
use all their effort to become loyal to me so they do not suffer the same.
Therefore, to rule a country, that one person is needed
to be cruelly cast out and stomped on.
The suffering endured by that one person
is more fearful than 100,000 soldiers, you see.
So, Moo Sun Hwa,
your death today
is for the good of the country. Think of it that way.
They said this:
If we are beaten to death,
it was all
for the good of the country.
Cut off Moo Sun Hwa's arms and legs and make sure all
the Heung Cheong, palace maids and eunuchs see them.
What happens if you divulge what happens in the palace...
we must set an example.
You will receive divine punishment! You will receive divine punishment!
Ah.
Promote Ga Ryeong to Heung Cheong today.
Ga Ryeong, please tell me the rest of your story in my bedroom tonight.
Synced & ripped by bozxphd Subtitles by the Rebels Team @Viki.
That story you told me about the strange village.
I really like that story.
Please tell it to me again.
Yes, Your Majesty.
There was a mountainous village with good water and fertile ground,
but that village's people had a big secret.
It was a boy locked up in a deserted house.
The village people would find out about the
boy's existence when they reached adulthood.
But as more time passed, the village people began to forget about that boy.
So...
So you killed Moo Sun Hwa and displayed her body to set an example.
And that is why you tied my husband to a pole, and tore his limbs and killed him?
Fine. I will kill you today to set an example.
If a king kills his people,
I will show what kind of punishment he will receive.
Have you gone insane?
Why did you stop me? Why did you stop me!?!
You are lucky it was me who saw you.
What if the messenger eunuch saw you? You would be dead already.
I don't care if I die.
No, I came to the palace to die.
- I will kill the king and then die. - You.
Did you lie to me?
Your husband didn't die because he was torn apart by a beast, did he?
Tell me.
Who is your husband?
- Is he— - I never lied to you.
My husband was killed when a beast tore him apart.
The king is the beast who tore up my husband and killed him.
Yes, my husband is.
Thief Hong, Orabeoni Gil Dong.
I saw it. Gil Dong Orabeoni was tied up by the palace gates.
His whole body was bleeding.
The king killed him.
The king killed Gil Dong Orabeoni!
It is very ominous. At the very top of the Protector of Values was the king.
I told you about the people who have disappeared, right?
The Forbidden Zone, the excessive demands for tributes to the king.
Anywhere you go in the eight states of Joseon,
it is filled with discontent towards the king.
But the king shares the thoughts of the Protector of Values?
We just cannot know what the king might do next.
He is so crazy about hunting that he will steal the homes of his people.
How is he different from a thief?
A king who behaves this way will definitely not last long.
How can there be any doubt about that?
We wait desperately for the day that Yi is cast out and Hong becomes king.
The thief is the king, and the king is the thief!
Chief Hong invaded the palace and hung signs of shame on their necks, I heard.
Wow, that is so refreshing!
Those who want to take action are all gathering under General Hong, I heard.
Where can you go to meet General Hong?
About that, they say no one can find it.
People who enter the Forbidden Zone all die, they say.
Is that all? If you pass anyone carrying a plaque
given by the king (WITHOUT GREETING THEM PROPERLY)
you will be beaten, even if you are a minister.

Those who post these anonymous notices,
and harbor resentment towards the nation, such people have increased?
Among them, which village has the most people
who have contempt for their superiors and have the least fear?
Your Majesty, those who suffered due to the Forbidden Zone,
in Gwangju, Yangju, Goyang, Yangchun, and Paju;
they are circulating anonymous notices and rebellious words.
In Hyangjoomok, although they were not affected by the Forbidden Zone.
They gather often, with no distinction between
noblemen, scholars, and plain people.
And regarding your creating the Forbidden Zone,
and how you are gathering members for your Heung Cheong group,
they are raising their voices in complaint.
Hyangjoomok?
wangju, Yangju, Goyang, Yangchun, Paju, and Hyangjoomok, abolish their townships.
Make all the people leave those towns.
Have the slaves of the military storage live there. In addition,
Hyangjoomok is now a traitorous village.
The people of Hyangjoomok are no longer my people. They are traitors.
Wipe Hyangjoomok off the map and dispatch the royal forces.
The people of Hyangjoomok who are interfering in the ruling of this country,
behead all of them!
Do you know the reason that His Majesty has killed so many of his statesmen?
It is to confiscate their assets and fill the royal coffers.
I went to Gyeonggi province on business, and I was so shocked.
They used to demand tributes to the king twice a month.
But they increased it to every two days. And
now they increased it to every single day.
The people cannot feed themselves,
so everyone from old people to young children were all starving to death.
Is that all? Gathering lady students for the Heung Cheong,
they capture and take young girls who still have peach fuzz on their faces.
Aiyoo, how can anyone raise children these days?
The country has become a wreck, but His.
Majesty claims that we have peace everywhere
and received a declaration of loyalty from his statesmen.
Do the moaning and cries of the people truly not reach the palace?
Let us gather our strength together and deliver this message to His Majesty!
If you do not disband right now, we will behead everyone!
Oh?
How can you do this?
Big Boss! Big Boss.
The royal forces are slaughtering the people?
Yes.
The king has declared Hyangjoomok as a traitorous town,
and ordered its township to be stripped. So anyone who resists
are all being killed.
Another group of reinforcement troops will come to Hyangjoomok soon. If that happens,
everyone in Hyangjoomok will die.
Please help us.
Please help us, please.
Please help us.
The thing I was worried about has happened. The king
has chosen the most rebellious town, Hyangjoomok,
to make an example out of it for the people of Joseon.
Yi Yoong.
Yi Yoong!!!
Please protect the mountain hideout, Magistrate Eom.
Yes, don't worry about it.
We will protect this place well.
I am very worried that we are not well prepared, due to the rush of events.
But let us do whatever we can.
The problem is that we don't know how many there are in the royal forces.
I expect that they will outmatch us in numbers by a lot.
General Hong!
If you lack numbers, we want to go with you.
We will help you.
You must not. The women have no experience with fighting,
so fighting with the royal forces would be too much.
Please leave this fight to us
and make sure to stay safe.
Yes. That is how you can help us.
But still...
Couldn't we do something?
Couldn't we help, even in any little way?
In that case, please return safely, Hongs.
Your Majesty, reinforcement troops
will arrive in Hyangjoomok soon.
The people of Joseon,
watch and listen.
The most powerful thing in the world
is
fear.
Where are you going?
Who are you?
You should be capturing barbarians.
Instead, you are going to kill your own people?
Is that something the nation's army should do?
How dare you!
Please retreat!
If you want to go to Hyangjoomok,
you will have to step on us, first.
So are you the rumored
gang of Thief Hong?
You are just neighborhood fighters,
and you dare to challenge the national army?
Yes, we will challenge you.
If any one of you
manages to make a scratch on my body,
I will serve you as my older brother.
All right! Come at us!
Strike!
Yes, sir!

Monk.
I'm all right.
Brothers, I will clear a path.
So everyone, out of the way.
Yes, I will clear a path with Gil Dong.
Oh, there you go again. Be quiet!
If we die, we die together! If we live, we live together!
Rather than see blood flow from innocent people,
I will die today, meaningfully.
- All right! - Let's die together, you bastards!

Hurry and bring him to the mountain hideout.
Please hurry, be careful.
Hurry, hurry...
Come on, get on my back. Hurry.

Why did you come here?
I felt like it.

Today was the first day.

Thank you.
