Do not let them win! We cannot lose!
Shoot!
Chief Hong!
We will save you this time!
A rebel army?
We never had a rebel army.
How can there be...
another army apart from my own?
Your Majesty, the rebel army was fully armed.
And it seems like Thief Hong is leading the army.
- Thief Hong? - Thief Hong?
Thief Hong?
Chief Hong.
Today, for the first time,
I did what I wanted to.
Thank you.
I will not forget.
I will never...
forget you.
(Episode 27)
Yong Gae.
Hey, Uh Ri Ni.
You are back.
Good.
I do not believe human beings.
I also believe that human beings are evil to the core.
Therefore, I believe...
the only way to rule over...
such people is violence.
I am a politician.
Goodness. Until a short while ago,
you used to be...
very well-respected in the palace.
Now, you are the worst traitor ever.
All because of my immature brother.
Guess who.
Oh dear.
It is Ugly Face.
I am not ugly.
Come and sit down, Uh Ri Ni.
Yes, sit down.
Dad.
Do you see this?
The three of us...
are together again.
Now, from now on, we will never part again.
Ah Mo Gae.
We are all together once again.
How about we all...
say our names one by one?
Governor Uhm Ja Chi is present.
Hong Yong Gae who fights with two sticks is present.
Il Chung the monk is right here.
Hong Se Gul is here as well.
Unexpectedly Charming Hong Kkeut Swe.
Iron-fisted Hong Eop San greets you.
Good, good.
It is a good day.
I have not seen Gil Hyeon's ears in a long time.
You have grown so much.
Look at them.
(Hong)
(The Rebel)
Your Majesty.
Are you disturbed?
Do not worry.
The Sugwidan was assembled for a time such as this.
I must ask you to do something.
Yes, Your Majesty. I shall do anything you wish.
For a while,
do not show yourself.
Your Majesty, Prince Choong Won is here.
Prince Choong Won.
What are you doing?
The King told me to replace you...
and lead the Sugwidan...
to punish the disloyal.
Prince Choong Won!
Do not raise your voice.
Have you forgotten I am of royal blood?
Are you aware that...
Master Song lost the King's trust due to the recent disaster?
If we do not do something, the King will punish us as well.
What do you suggest we do now?
We must distance ourselves from Master Song.
Capture the traitors and perform a great deed.
Capture Thief Hong's followers and perform a meritorious deed.
It will serve us well.
- Soldiers. - Run.
- Get them! - After them!
Get them!
Do not run about.
The servants will mock you for being crass.
I am sorry, Mother. I really need to relieve myself.
I heard the villagers...
talk about sending petitions to the King.
Whatever the King has done wrong,
you must not fight back.
Do not get involved in such things.
Find him!
What is going on? What are you doing?
Let go of me!
- Mother. Mother! - What are you doing?
Mother!
Did you see a young man?
No? Search the place!
Here he is! Get out. Stand up.
How dare you?
Keep walking!
Stop it!
No!
Soldiers are in Hyangjumok arresting those...
who posted anonymous bills or spread rumors of the King.
Without any reinforcements,
the soldiers are just as worried that the rebels will fight back.
First, we should chase the soldiers out of Hyangjumok.
Even if we manage to rid Hyangjumok of the King's men,
we might not be able to get out.
Right.
However powerful Gil Dong may be,
he cannot take on hundreds of trained soldiers.
Oh dear...
Do you not think we should still go?
My father was killed...
because he was caught stealing.
My lifelong wish was...
to earn a fortune...
and live the rest of my life without having to steal.
Fortunately enough, I met So Bu Ri,
and I followed Master Hong around.
I accomplished my dream.
We used to be so great.
I am so sorry.
But now,
I see the riches we spent for working for the King...
was all...
stolen from those people.
I will die in Hyangjumok.
Do not think...
I am going to help the people of Hyangjumok.
I shall...
repay my debts.
Oh dear. How can we stop the bleeding?
Soldiers are inspecting those entering...
and leaving Hyangjumok.
We must smuggle weapons in.
We need help.
Even the worst of the worst...
would not search under a woman's dress.
Uh Ri Ni.
Do you know how dangerous this is?
A girl like you...
Will someone say something? Talk some sense into her.
No.
I want to help punish those...
who hurt you.
- Oh dear... - My goodness.
Uh Ri Ni never did listen to us.
She was the worst sister ever.
Whom does she take after?
After our father, of course.
You may pass.
- Enter. - Enter.
Enter.
- Enter. - You may go.
- He is my master.
He is my master.
- Be quiet. - Do not touch my master.
- He is my master. - Walk on.
- Go. - Stop.
Go on.
Well done. Good.
Unless you say who your leader is,
I will behead you all.
Stand up.
Who is it? Whom do you work for?
I really do not know.
Name him, and you shall live.
It is me. I am the ringleader. Kill me!
- Kill me! I am the ringleader! - I am.
- I am! - I am!
They are rebels! The rebels have shown themselves!
Kill me. Kill me.
If you are watching, do not forsake us.
Will you abandon the people of Hyangjumok?
Whose soldiers are you?
Who are you?
We are the soldiers of the people of Joseon.
Let us fight!
Run! Get out of here!
Get out of here! Run to safety!
Chase the soldiers out of Hyangjumok!
Chase the soldiers out!
Tell them this.
Hyangjumok has no need for soldiers who kill...
the people.
Fall back!
They left.
The soldiers have left!
You are safe now.
The soldiers have gone. You can come out now.
Have you seen my son?
I have not. Look carefully.
No...
No... No...
My baby...
No...
The rebels...
chased out the soldiers based in Hyangjumok?
Your Majesty!
I failed to capture Thief Hong!
I plead...
you take my life!
Yes. I shall take your life so...
my incompetent subjects will learn a lesson.
Your Majesty.
I am only letting you live because of what...
your parents did for my mother.
Your Majesty.
If you cannot take my life now,
then I request you let me die fighting.
Once I have annihilated the rebels,
I shall take my own life with this sword...
and clear my honor!
Park Ha Sung.
No.
The rebel, Hong Gil Hyeon,
left with a handpicked army willing to die for him.
Do you have...
any men willing to die doing your bidding?
I have no soldiers willing to die for me.
But Your Majesty,
the soldiers I shall lead...
are those willing to die for you.
If you cannot capture Ah Mo Gae's sons,
do not think about...
returning home.
As long as they live,
I will neither...
be able to die peacefully nor be able to face your father.
Jeong Hak, will you catch them?
Will you catch them...
and behead them?
Mother,
I will...
catch them...
no matter what.
Behead the rebels...
and prove your loyalty to His Majesty!
- For the King! - For the King!
Where are they going?
They are the royal forces heading to the rebel army in Hyangjumok.
The people in Hyangjumok will not stand a chance.
What is a rebellious mind?
It is a mind that people who want to overturn the country have.
But it is not what we want.
We just want His Majesty...
to take less from us.
We want him to stop restricting more areas.
And we do not want...
our daughters to be taken away.
Is that what a rebel army is?
Is that what a rebel army says?
- No. - No.
Even if we save Hyangjumok this time,
we cannot stop the royal forces...
forever.
- That is right. - That is right.
My son has died.
Do you know what I regret the most?
I taught my son how to read.
He started learning at an early age...
and studied Elementary Learning, Great Learning,
and the Doctrine of the Mean and Mencius.
According to these books, a man of honor does everything...
for the people and the country.
He studied to become a man of honor all his life.
He could not bear...
to see the people get killed.
Let me say something.
We...
did not choose to fight.
When they tried to kill us,
we chose to live.
Do you not want to live?
Do you not want to survive?
- We do. - We do.
Everyone! The royal forces...
are heading this way!
- What? - The royal forces?
- The royal forces?
Do not hide and come out!
Come out and talk to me!
All of my servants are gathered here.
You would not know, but they...
all used to be my servants.
My father tried to teach them and hit them,
but they failed to learn properly.
And here they are, being rebellious.
Young Master Soo Hak,
you are still a coward just like you were as a boy.
You brought a whole army...
to catch some old servants.
Jo Jeong Hak,
did the King finally...
give you a big task?
You used to follow me around all your life.
Now that I am gone, is it finally your turn?
Why do you keep hanging out with the bad guys?
Hey.
We do not need to see blood.
If we fight, the four of us...
will all die right here.
See you again.
Close the four doors of Hyangjumok...
and the road heading to these four doors...
to blockade Hyangjumok for good!
- Here. - Here.
I always wondered...
whom Gil Dong...
would marry.
And that was you.
How surprising.
But Gil Dong had left Danyejeong.
How did you meet him?
When he left Danyejeong,
he told you that he will come back.
That is why...
I waited.
You waited?
Yes.
He said he would come back.
So I knew he would.
Gil Dong...
came back to meet you.
Maybe...
the person who helped me marry Gil Dong...
was you.
- Here. - Here.
That was his promise to me.
One which I did not believe.
And yet,
you believed it?
The one that prized me the most...
was Gil Dong.
Gil Dong.
I am jealous.
Look here. We did take over the government office,
but we cannot let people get hurt.
- Of course not. - Of course not.
Hyangjumok has been blockaded, and we do not have enough supplies.
We need to share with each other.
- I agree. - I agree.
We need more cotton cloth to treat the injured.
Also, we are in need of more medicinal herbs.
We should break up in groups to get some more.
- Medicinal herbs? - In groups?
- We must get more. - I will make sure...
I get more herbs.
Thank you.
Come this way.
Look at them.
Even with the royal forces gone,
no one is stealing even a handful of rice.
However, the government has been...
spreading rumors about how people in Hyangjumok...
steal things and set fire everywhere.
My goodness.
They have cut off all roads...
leading into Hyangjumok.
Who can fathom how wrongfully accused...
the people of Hyangjumok are?
These flowers smell nice.
But they last only for a season.
Flowers bloom only for a season,
and love only lasts a season too.
All is vanity.
Is that why...
you remain beside the King although you know he has killed...
Gil Dong?
Sukyong Jang,
is that how lightly you regard the times you spent with Gil Dong?
But Gil Dong...
kept you in his heart for a long time.
For a very long time.
That is why...
I hate you.
Yes.
Love only lasts a season.
I heard the King...
recently stopped having you in his bedroom.
You are...
laughing at me in your heart.
Is my decision to stay next to the King petty,
and is your wait and love for Gil Dong so grand?
I am not ashamed.
Let us see if you can say that...
when your life is in danger.
Sukyong Jang, I no longer...
fear dying...
after my husband's death.
My goodness. How can you go before His Majesty?
His Majesty made it clear...
when he said you are not to appear before him for a while.
Why are you doing this?
His Majesty...
did not kill or abandon me...
even after he found out I had ties with Gil Dong.
Do you not understand this?
His Majesty...
has no plans to kill...
or abandon me.
However,
he just wishes to check something from me.
Today,
I will let him be reassured.
I do not mind...
people calling me...
a bad woman or a wicked woman.
I do not mind hearing those hundreds and thousands of times.
However,
I never want to hear...
that I have made the wrong decision.
Your Majesty. If you cannot trust me,
just kill me.
Yes, Your Majesty.
I was once an acquaintance with that man, Gil Dong.
Yes.
We have met as a man and a woman...
to share our feelings and hearts.
Also...
However, Your Majesty.
I have abandoned him...
and chose to stay with you.
Gil Dong is...
a man I have abandoned.
Your Majesty.
If I help you catch that man,
will you believe my words?
Are you...
here to take me away?
Take her.
I heard a strange story about you.
Who is this husband of yours which you claimed was killed by...
wild animals?
What is the relationship between you and...
Hong Gil Dong?
Your Majesty.
I will tell you the entire truth.
Before that,
can you come closer?
- How dare you? - Your Majesty.
Yes.
My husband who was killed by wild animals is Gil Dong.
And you are the wild animal which killed my husband.
You can slice me and behead me.
But just you wait.
Even after I die,
my ghost will visit you in nightmares every night.
Did you say you will set an example to 99 people...
by treating one with violence?
No matter how many examples you set,
I, my husband,
and the people of this land will not be intimidated by you!
Your Majesty.
I have told you. You must treat her with care.
She will be put to great use.
What do you mean?
How will you put me to great use?
Are you going to rip me apart and show my body to the heungcheongs?
Sure.
- You may do that. - No.
No, that is not right.
I wish that you will live.
However, that is...
up to your husband.
My husband?
Ga Ryung.
Your husband is...
alive.
Right, His Majesty...
made sure...
heungcheongs do not find out about things outside of the palace.
Of course, you would not know.
- Sukyong Jang. - Ga Ryung.
Your husband is alive...
and is with the rebels of Hyangjumok.
His Majesty will soon take you...
and present you before him in their battlefield.
If Gil Dong truly loves you,
he will lose the war after losing his calm.
If he could care less about you,
then sure,
he will let you die.
I do not care what happens.
I like both endings.
Your amazing love...
will corner your husband into death.
Sukyong Jang.
Sukyong Jang. Sukyong Jang.
What did you say to her?
Why are you crying?
Hear, people of Hyangjumok.
All four gates and roads leading into Hyangjumok has been shut down.
Hear, people of Hyangjumok.
Give up your arms and surrender.
Hear, people of Hyangjumok.
All four gates and roads leading into Hyangjumok has been shut down.
Hear, people of Hyangjumok.
Give up your arms and surrender.
Hear, people of Hyangjumok. All four gates and roads leading into...
- Hyangjumok has been shut down. - We cannot say spring is here.
Even when it is here.
We smile bitterly in fear because General Winter may be mad.
We cannot say the dawn breaks even when the sun rises.
We smile bitterly in fear because the night may be mad.
Oh, people, sing.
And keep your front doors open.
Oh, people, sing.
The biting wind will cease to blow.
Oh, people, sing.
And keep your front doors open.
Oh, people, sing.
The biting wind will cease to blow.
Oh, people, sing.
And keep your front doors open.
Oh, people, sing.
The biting wind will cease to blow.
Oh, people, sing.
And keep your front doors open.
Oh, people, sing.
The biting wind will cease to blow.
Oh, people, sing.
And keep your front doors open.
Oh, people, sing.
The biting wind will cease to blow.
Break the gates!
Get those rebels!
Get the bows!
- The bows. - Yes.
Go and get the bows.
Aim!
Shoot!
You cannot let them in!
Gil Dong.
Shoot!
Move.
Move the injured!
Move the injured back in!
This side.
Hurry up and come.
Do not come.
Shoot! Keep shooting!
Move back.
This side.
The rebels are revolting aggressively,
so the royal forces have not yet entered Hyangjumok.
Have they not opened the gates?
I would like to go on a hunt.
Recruit soldiers from all eight provinces,
fill the borders of the east and west with chasers,
and...
select monks from each provinces to take place in Byungjoo.
Moreover,
I would like to bring some heungcheongs to the hunt.
Prepare for the hunt.
In that case, Your Majesty,
where would your hunt take place?
I would like to hunt in Hyangjumok.
- Are you all right? - Are you all right?
- Oh, my. - Oh, my.
You cannot close your eyes.
Wake up. Please.
- Help me. - Help me.
We have been waiting in front of the door for days.
We took them lightly because we thought...
that they could not fight.
They are ordinary people,
but they are very well trained.
So what?
Master!
Your Majesty.
I heard you could not open the door yet.
It will be soon.
I brought something to open the door with.
Keep it safe.
The smell of blood is disgusting.
It is.
What happened?
Are you out of your mind?
Please.
Please...
kill me.
Do not tell Gil Dong...
that I am here.
Just kill me...
right here.
Ga Ryung.
I can meet you soon.
But Gil Dong,
do not be surprised.
Just do as I say.
That way, I can be happy.
You told me that it scares you to see me cry.
Will you...
do your best not to make me cry?
Ga Ryung.
Uh Ri Ni.
Why are you sweating?
I was too weak these days.
We need to win...
and rescue your friend, Ok Ran.
I have one more person to rescue other than her.
One more person?
She tried to befriend me.
She nearly cried while looking at me.
She said she needed to take revenge for her husband...
who was torn apart by a beast.
She was a little strange.
But after I left the palace,
I keep thinking about her as much as I do Ok Ran.
Gil Dong.
Hong Gil Dong.
It has been a while.
If you go back because of me,
I will not see you again!
I will never see you again!
Ga Ryung.
Ga Ryung!
Gil Dong.
Gil Dong!
Ga Ryung.
Gil Dong!
Come on now.
You could have killed one of our own.
I apologize.
Do not move even after drawing the bow.
Shoot.
