Yes!
This is great.
I cannot eat any food
But the drinks go in smoothly
Teach me how to eliminate Pyunsoo Group, master.
I never made you my pupil.
Please tell me how to take down...
Dae Mok.
You fool.
You still do not realize...
that if you act recklessly, more people will die.
Then what must I do?
I want to defeat Dae Mok without sacrificing...
any more lives.
I will do anything,
so please tell me how.
Do not...
do anything.
Not until you realize on your own what it is that you must do,
do not...
Do not do anything.
Ga Eun.
Hello, Chief.
"The daughter of a convict".
It must be a heavy burden to bear.
I heard not a single relative...
stepped up to help you.
The people here are my family and friends.
Do not worry about me.
I like it here.
We plan to create a market here and sell goods.
Can I help in any way?
I will do anything I can to help.
Actually,
is there a way for me to enter the palace?
- The palace? - Well...
Well...
I would like to sell medicinal herbs to the eunuchs.
I understand.
I will keep looking into it even if it takes a while.
Thank you so much.
Where am I?
Hello, there.
Why did you call me here?
Do you see that runt kneeling there?
Yes.
Take him with you and use him.
Where would I use a weakling like him?
He will obviously be nothing but a burden.
He is more useful than he appears, so try teaching him.
He will not last two weeks and will run away.
How about...
we make a bet?
Why, hello.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello, there.
Who is he?
He is a burden Master Woo Bo laid on me.
- A burden? - A burden?
Why are you not greeting them?
Hello.
You runt. What is your name?
I do not...
have one.
Then we shall call you, "Burden", okay?
Give him some work.
- Yes, master. - Yes, master.
Let us see.
You are so pretty. Can you even do anything?
I am so worried.
Here. Dry the fish.
Dry it well.
Go with him. Live as a peddler and become stronger.
What...
do you mean?
Peddlers have a strong sense of organization.
If you gather all the vendors...
and restaurateurs located all throughout Joseon,
there must be over 300,000 members.
If you can utilize that organization wisely,
you will own the best source of information and transport in Joseon.
Do you mean...
I should use that power to oppose Dae Mok?
Gain the trust of the organization of peddlers,
and work hard to bring them gain.
Then peddlers will be your support in return.
Be careful.
Hurry.
- Hurry. - Hurry.
Careful.
- What? - How could this...
- How could this happen? - Master.
Sorry.
What could we do about it?
Paths are dangerous. It is common for a peddler to fall to his death.
I will not do anything to him.
- My gosh. - Calm down.
My poor...
Master, could I get my wage earlier?
What for? Are you going to donate it to her?
Yes. It is not much, but I would like her to hold a proper funeral...
Stop the nonsense, and go back to work.
What do you mean?
Then will you help them every time?
How are you going to help all of them?
Just go get the market fee from the merchants.
- Market fee? - When they finish their sales,
they calculate how they did for the day and pay for their usage.
Then they gather up and have a drink together.
Excuse me. The market fee...
What market fee? I am not selling right in the first place.
But it says you have to pay for...
Can they not just pass one day? Seriously.
Thank you.
1, 2, 3.
Take this and lead a great life, you jerk.
Market fee, please.
- It must be hard for you. - Not at all.
Market fee...
This is it!
- Come on. - Let this go.
Can we not help that woman with this money?
What gibberish. Give it go me.
You said it is the peddlers' motto to help each other in need.
How can I help every single one of them?
That is my point.
Let us keep this money instead of using it for the drinks.
Then we can help them every time.
You punk.
Please this once.
Let us do this just once.
We shall help that woman this time,
and when someone among us gets hurt or die,
we shall use the rest.
You little...
You said peddlers are bound to die on the road.
That means it will be us someday.
- Right. - He is right.
- Right. - Whatever.
Get him and the money right this instant.
- Yes. - Yes.
Goodness.
Are you all ready?
- Yes. - Let us go.
The weather is so nice.
We managed to do the funeral with the money you donated.
Thank you so much.
It was nothing.
It was not all me. Everyone chipped in a little bit.
Thank you so much.
You should be grateful to our youngest member.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Does this mean...
I have been upgraded from a burden to the youngest member?
Let us go.
Yes, master.
(5 years later)
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Kko Mool.
Are you still not over Chun Soo?
You should forget...
your first love and try dating someone else.
You little pinky.
Hurry and come.
Mom. Are you thinking about Sun again?
What? Gosh, I was just out of it.
I will do it.
It is okay. I will do it.
I miss Sun.
Why would you miss that cold-hearted brat?
I will never let this slip if he comes back.
Then why do you always leave the front gate open?
That is...
That is in case he cannot come in...
due to the locked door.
Just in case he goes away again.
Your Highness.
Please revoke your order to take the regency.
- Please revoke your order. - Please revoke your order.
Your Highness.
His Majesty is already an adult.
However, you have not stopped taking the regency yet.
We do not know what your intention is.
Please stop your regency as soon as possible.
- Please, Your Highness. - Please, Your Highness.
Please revoke your decision.
- Please revoke your decision. - Please revoke your decision.
Chief Royal Secretary.
Hand over the king's seal to His Majesty.
Yes, Your Highness.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
With this, you have become the real emperor of this nation.
Congratulations, Your Majesty.
- Congratulations, Your Majesty. - Congratulations, Your Majesty.
Demand the money the Bureau loaned to the subjects...
to be repaid all at once.
All at once?
It could lead to a loss of the trust that the Bureau has built so far.
It is not only the Bureau of Water Supply.
It includes all of you...
in the Pyunsoo Group.
Master Dae Mok. 15 days are too tight.
What do we do if we demand them the money...
and they refuse to pay back?
To those who are not able to pay back,
demand a collateral.
Head of Bureau of Water Supply.
Yes, master.
Demand the debtors pay back in cash if possible.
The Pyunsoo Group...
is not to spend any of that money...
until I give an order to do so. Do you understand?
Do you want us to keep the money...
stashed away somewhere?
Why would we...
I shall do so.
Come and have a taste of this.
My big sister made this medicine.
Take it, and it will cure your sickness completely.
- What do they want? - Why are they here?
Stay here.
- Let me see... - Oh dear.
Everyone on this list...
has 15 days to repay the money they owe the Bureau of Water Supply.
You must...
stick to the 15-day deadline.
Why? Why now?
Why do we have to repay all our debts...
at once and at such short notice?
That is none of your business.
Put it up where everyone can see.
Check your name and amount.
Make no mistake.
- It is too much to repay. - Oh no...
- My goodness. - Your name is up there.
I am ruined now for sure.
Where can I get this much money in 15 days?
My lady.
Are we up there?
Yes, we are.
What should we do?
Where can we get that much money in 15 days?
Even the merchants are demanding we pay them back.
What should we do now?
Why are they all doing this so suddenly?
The Bureau of Water Supply and the merchants!
If we must pay them back at the same time,
we will all end up on the street!
- What should we do? - We cannot survive.
Goodness.
Mom.
Go on.
Smash everything!
- Yes, master. - Yes, master.
Oh dear, no.
Why are you doing this?
Oh, my goodness.
You did not pay what you owe the Bureau of Water Supply.
Now, we own your stall.
Empty the place!
- Yes, master. - No! You cannot do this!
Oh dear...
Mom.
Do not do this. You cannot do this to me!
If you do not repay your debts within 15 days,
this will happen to you.
Do you understand?
My lady...
No, no... Master...
- Master, no! Stop it! - Are you okay?
Please... Master...
My store...
We turned a barren field into a flourishing marketplace,
and we are finally making a living.
How dare they think they can take our stores from us?
The chief peddler you once mentioned...
Can he solve issues like this as well?
Who is this chief peddler? Is he that rich?
It is not that he is rich.
Then what?
Let me tell you about our chief peddler.
He knows everything...
and will solve any of your problems.
He was recommended by...
all eight of the leaders of the organization of peddlers.
You said he does anything as long as it is moral,
and that he sides with the powerless and the poor.
- That is true. - For what in return?
He must demand something in return for his services.
He does.
Complete and absolute trust and loyalty.
Is that all that he asks for?
It is not that simple.
If you let him down, the spirits punish you.
- Is that true? - What should we do?
I would like to meet your chief peddler.
Kko Mool. Kko Mool.
Grandpa!
You tiny thing.
You have gotten uglier since I last saw you.
Your hair has gotten whiter since I last saw you.
You are older.
You have a sharp tongue.
- Hello, master. - Hello.
Where is Ga Eun?
She went to Icheon.
What for?
To meet the chief peddler.
Who is meeting whom?
Lady Han went to see the chief peddler.
Has fate brought them together again?
Let us rest.
We must walk faster if we are to reach the next village before...
We can take a short break.
I am so sorry I am slowing you down.
We know what you are doing to help the people from the marketplace.
We are half a day's walk away.
Hey, look up there.
Shall we rest there?
Yes.
Can you manage?
Yes.
- Let us go. - Okay.
That is copper.
I think Pyunsoo Group is up to something.
Stop there!
Why are you doing this to us?
What is going on? Why are you doing this?
Oh dear, my goodness.
Ga... Ga Eun?
(The Emperor)
Go on. Deal with them quickly.
Did you want to save them and give your life in return?
Knowing your life is not in your hands?
I... I am sorry.
Forgive me.
We meet again yet she does not recognize me.
What a great relief.
He is the chief peddler?
Do you know who I am?
Yes.
You are someone I miss with all my heart.
