I'll accept it.
My destiny as the 1000-year-old fox...
What did you just accept?
Your own death?
What would you do?
If you found out that you're the once-in-a-thousand-years...
salvation of your entire race?
With my sacrifice alone, our race, which has had to hide in fear for thousands of years,
can live proudly among humans.
The curse of having to survive on human liver can be undone for good.
What would you do?
To be honest, I don't believe the legend.
That your death will bring peace to our race...
- I just don't believe it. - You saw it yourself.
The mark of the 1000-year-old fox on my back.
That's why when I was suffering from the symptoms of the 1000-year-old fox,
you told me to keep it a secret.
- That was... - And that's not all.
I've started to change.
What do you mean?
Si-yon...
So I really am the 1000-year-old fox. I am.
No, you won't be sacrificed as an offering.
I won't stand for it!
Even while carrying out my duties as a warrior, I never felt honored or privileged.
Yes, I killed the offenders who ate fresh human liver...
But it still made me sad.
They're members of our race too, after all.
So I couldn't look them in the eyes as they were dying.
And as for Min-woo...
He's filled with hatred for our fox race.
I made him that way.
So in order to stop the suffering of our race,
and to end the war with the humans, you'll willingly sacrifice yourself?
It's my fate. I can't avoid fate.
Since that's the case, I'll accept it proudly.
Si-yon!
Your mother killed my father and Min-woo's parents.
But I'm going to find it my heart to forgive her.
It all happened because I'm the 1000-year-old fox.
So I'd really like you to accept it as well.
It's okay. I can walk by myself.
Sa-joon...
Where's Chae?
She's... She's probably here already.
What's wrong? I have to see your mother.
What happened?
Kang Min-woo got him.
- What? - Kang Min-woo nearly killed Sa-joon.
He was full of energy. Like a different person.
He stood toe to toe with Sa-joon?
He had the upper hand.
I couldn't believe my own eyes.
Maybe his sister's death has made him fearless.
And I saw him carrying a new sword.
A sword?
- It was the red moon sword. - The red moon sword...?
I saw the mark. It was the red moon sword for sure.
How did that end up in Kang Min-woo's hands?
We've looked high and low for it all this time...
Director Jang...
I think Director Jang knows much more than we thought.
Looking after Kang Min-woo after he was orphaned...
Recruiting him as a member of the SICS...
He must've had it all planned.
Director Jang...
Si-yon has accepted her fate as the 1000-year-old warrior.
Don't leave her alone for even a second.
Dr. Jung was murdered and his lab was destroyed.
May I ask what happened?
That's what he got for failing to clone a human liver.
What do you mean he failed?
But he said he succeeded.
And I'm telling you he failed!
You seem to have a problem.
There are two ways to use the 1000-year-old fox.
Sacrifice her for the sake of our race.
Or use her liver to attain eternal life for yourself.
Which one is it?
How dare you question me?
You're my servant. You do as I say.
Save your questions. Understand?
What did you want to talk to me about?
It's about Chae.
I know how you feel about her.
But, Moo-young...
Could you open up your heart to her a bit?
Maybe you can show her a little more caring.
Did something happen to Chae?
She's a mess right now.
She's been hurt by so many people...
She just might hit rock bottom.
Maybe you can help her a bit.
All of us have been together for 13 years now.
Think of all we've been through together.
You can do that much for her. Please...
Moo-young, you don't know...
The love I have for you goes beyond ordinary love.
So this is very hard for me.
I should give up on you... I should kill you...
I can't forget you. But I can't have you either.
I'm losing my mind.
What am I supposed to do...?
Did you get him?
He got away.
- What? - How could you let him get away?
I apologize.
- The red moon sword didn't work? - It wasn't that...
- What do you mean? - It's just as you told me.
I'm the rightful owner of this sword.
This thing scares me...
So this sword just stuck to you like glue?
Come on, Min-woo isn't a magnet.
He's saying that the sword has found its owner.
Okay, smarty pants.
So this thing kicked Young-mo's butt last time.
And it helped you kick this Sa-joon's butt too?
Detective Moon!
- Quiet... - Next time...
You're talking now? What about next time?
I swear I'll kill those bastards next time.
That's the spirit! You're starting to grow on me.
- Let's go. - Where?
You don't have a sword like that, so you have to train extra hard.
Sure, let's go. I'll exercise my body, and you'll exercise your mouth.
Hello?
It's me. I'd like to see you.
I was on my way to see you. Where are you?
Min-woo has realized that the red moon sword belongs to him.
The man loved by the 1000-year-old fox is its owner.
If that's the case... Yun Si-yon is the 1000-year-old fox.
And what exactly does that mean?
I'm not sure...
But if she does turn out to be the 1000-year-old fox, it will clearly harm us.
Then we'd have to kill her.
According to the legend, only the owner of the red moon sword can kill her.
Is that why...
That's why you've paid special attention to Min-woo?
I wasn't sure, but I wanted to be prepared.
But I had no idea he'd play this crucial a role.
If Min-woo is the only one who can kill Yun Si-yon...
So we have to keep Min-woo from finding out about this.
Hae-in...
Listen to me carefully.
Remember I told you I needed some time.
- And? - Just wait a few days.
Everything will be sorted out in a few days.
- What do you mean? - Hear me out first!
So until then don't do anything.
Just stay put, okay?
Very soon, our race will be able to coexist peacefully with humans.
- That day will come... - What peace?
The foxes who killed Min-joo were animals.
No, they were monsters.
If I wait anymore... Like Min-joo, my parents, you, and me...
There will be more victims, and I won't allow that.
That's not true.
Yes, I know it was wrong.
And I understand your reaction.
But some things just couldn't be helped.
We didn't enjoy eating human liver...
But we did it to survive... Out of a desperate desire to live...
Can't you try to understand just for once?
What are you talking about?
People are dying at the hands of nine-tailed foxes.
They killed my little sister Min-joo.
And you expect me to understand?
If you can't understand, then just give me a few days.
Just a few days, okay...?
You told me you were so sorry.
Then will you stop torturing me like this?
You won't leave this place even though you're in danger.
And you tell me to wait, but won't tell me why.
There's something I have to do.
And what is that something?
It concerns our race.
- I'll take care of it, and then... - Your race?
So that's what it's really about...
So in the end, it's about being a nine-tailed fox...
- Hear me out. - No, forget it.
I don't want to listen to you anymore.
And I don't know why you're asking me to wait, but I can't wait any longer.
Just as you have something to do for your race,
I have something to do for mine.
You'll get hurt. You'll end up dead.
I'm not the old Min-woo.
I have the power and the will to annihilate the fox race.
So save your worries for your friends.
Well, look who's here.
You've had a lot to drink.
What brings you here?
I guess Rang told you.
Come on. I'll give you a ride home.
Since when were you ever worried about me?
I can take care of myself.
Let go!
Chae...
I've always worried about you.
I've always been worried and concerned.
But Chae...
Just as I'm not the one for Si-yon,
you aren't the one for me either.
It just wasn't meant to be.
We have to sacrifice her regardless.
An opportunity like this comes around once in a millennium.
We can't let it pass.
The great power of the 1000-year-old fox...
I'd like to witness it for myself.
- What brings you here so late? - I've been waiting for you.
- What is it, Sa-joon? - Take Si-yon and run away.
What?
You said you'd protect her till the end.
Then leave right away. That's your only option.
I don't understand.
You insisted that she had to be sacrificed.
- So why the sudden turn about? - Don't ask questions. Just do it.
- Sa-joon! - It's the only thing I can do for you.
This has something to do with the cloning, right?
The lab's been destroyed, and the researchers have disappeared.
What's going on now?
I've said all I'm going to say.
It's my mother, isn't it?
I know both you and my mother well.
If you're disobeying her, then you saw her do something that went too far.
What has she done?
I asked you what she's done!
Your mother's sacrificing Si-yon for her own sake.
What do you mean...?
On the night of the red lunar eclipse, by eating the 1000-year-old fox's liver,
she can attain eternal life.
What is it?
Mother...
Do you know how much pain you've put me through?
Yet...
Yet I love you so much.
Do you know that as well?
Moo-young...
We need to talk.
I'm going to get that K character.
And when I do, I'll kill him.
And then we'll forget this whole thing.
That'll be the end of that.
So don't screw up again. Okay?
If you have so little faith in me, just reveal the truth.
I really don't care one way or another.
Why not?
You'll lose everything.
I have nothing to lose.
Moo-young is the only thing that matters to you?
We warriors have a bond stronger than blood.
Don't turn that into nothing, Chae.
Rang is after you. Stay away for a while.
We shouldn't meet. It'd be dangerous.
There's one last matter you and I have to take care of.
I have to see you, my lady.
We have to find out their hideout, so we can destroy them at once.
So we've been looking into the museum,
as well as other buildings owned by Chief Shin and her son.
In addition to other landholdings.
- You're continuing to train? - Yes.
Min-woo's been training day and night.
It's like he's possessed. He's turning into a machine.
Why don't you hold a little seance for him?
Didn't you go cuckoo after playing with that sword?
Maybe you should be quiet.
Sir, we've located the whereabouts of their warriors.
Let's go get them!
I'm glad he's come to his senses, but he's so moody now.
Min-woo!
Chae!
This is the last matter we need to take of.
We should have finished him off long ago, my lady.
My lady...?
Why is he calling you that?
This is the end for you, so I'll satisfy your curiosity.
This lady is my master.
Chae...
That means... You're the leader of the rebel faction?
Tell me it isn't true...
Tell me it's not true!
How embarrassing...
I'm okay...
But I don't think I'll be able to do the music for your parties anymore...
Don't say anything...
You know something...?
You may have loved Moo-young...
But you and I shared the most laughter.
You're not alone...
Even after I die...
I'll be with you...
Chae!
Because of me... Because of me, Rang...
What am I going to do...?
Think of all we've been through together. You can do that much for Chae.
You're here to take us out, right?
So you've finally eliminated K?
One less thing to worry about before the ceremony.
Rang is dead.
I'm aware of that.
You are?
His death wasn't in vain.
A regrettable but honorable death.
Don't insult him by displaying petty emotions.
Get rid of unnecessary emotions.
They'll only interfere with your duties.
The red lunar eclipse is right around the corner.
Prepare yourself for the ceremony, Si-yon.
Yes, Chief Elder.
I asked you why you were there with Rang.
He wouldn't even tell me K's whereabouts.
He said he'd take care of it on his own.
He begged me to let him carry out the mission.
And he specifically made me promise him to keep it a secret from you, Chae.
So how did you find out and get there?
Answer me!
I sent her there.
Insolent fool!
Now that I've laid out the trap,
I'll just have to wait for you to bite.
So K is really dead?
- You saw it yourselves? - Yes, sir.
I've finally got my revenge.
Let's get the others too. Every single one of them.
It's me, Shin Moo-young...
Take Si-yon... Take her and leave.
Forget everything, and just leave.
Vengeance, hatred...
Leave? And go where?
My sister and colleagues died at the hands of you guys.
And you expect me to leave?
You're the only one who can protect her.
You're the only one who can take her away from this mess.
You have to.
You said you'd protect her. Why the change of heart now?
I wish I could!
I want to protect the woman I love.
But only you can do it...
It has to be you!
I'm doing this because I have no choice...
What are you guys up to? What's happening to Si-yon?
This is the last chance you have to save her.
That's all I can tell you.
Tell me! What do you mean this is the last chance?
Do I have to spell that out for you?
Si-yon...
You're coming with me.
Don't do this.
Moo-young came to see me.
He told me to take you and leave.
If he told me that, it means that even he can't save you.
It means that you'll die.
You asked me not to ask any questions, so I won't.
I won't ask about what's going on with your race,
and I won't ask why your life's in danger.
All I want is for you to come with me.
- Hyon-soo... - Don't say anything.
Forget everything, and we'll leave.
Will we really be able to forget everything though?
We won't.
So let's not have any false hopes.
All I need is you...
If I'm with you, you'll always be reminded of the fox race.
- I represent everything you hate the most. - Hae-in...
The deaths of your parents and Min-joo...
You forgive me now because you're in love with me.
But neither of us will ever forget that.
And that pain will make you suffer forever.
And watching you suffer will make me wither away.
Do we have to go through that?
You're looking at the worst-case scenario.
We can make it through because we love each other.
Just think about that.
Love fades...
Okay, then do it for yourself, not for love.
- If you stay here, you might die. - I won't die.
And even if I do, I'll die as a nine-tailed fox.
Hae-in!
Maybe you can stop fighting for love. But I can't.
I'm going to remain a warrior till the end.
These were painful and bloody times...
But because of you, I had some happy moments.
Thank you.
Bye.
You're still just thinking?
Your mother's preparing for the ritual.
I understand your hesitation, but there's no time.
Take Si-yon and leave.
- She probably left already. - What?
Si-yon's probably gone by now.
What? Alone?
With Kang Min-woo...?
How could you...?
I needed to ask for her forgiveness. Instead I asked for her love.
That's probably why we could never be with each other.
You won't regret this?
Regret it?
I regret not letting her leave sooner.
I regret not giving up on her sooner.
That's what I regret.
What happened?
You didn't leave with Min-woo?
It's still not too late. Leave!
You're giving me no choice.
You could've just left.
I resent you for making me tell you this.
About the legend of the 1000-yeard old fox...
There's one more secret you're not aware of.
What secret?
The fox who consumes the liver of the 1000-year-old fox will attain everlasting life.
My mother...
She plans to live forever by killing you.
So leave with Min-woo. That's your only option.
Forget this thing about fulfilling your duty for our race.
And for those few moments when the ceremony is taking place,
just think about yourself.
After the ceremony's over, you can go back to being the old Si-yon.
So leave now.
I told Hae-in to run away with me, but I wasn't sure I could.
I didn't want to leave the sword behind.
If I leave without getting the foxes who killed my family...
I don't think I can stay sane.
But on the other hand...
I want to leave for someplace far away with Hae-in.
So this is driving me crazy.
How did Hae-in and I get mixed up in all this?
I'd like to know why.
Why you protected me the last time...
- Chae. - Yes?
I think you're an exceptional warrior.
You don't let your emotions get in the way of your mission.
That's an admirable trait to have as a warrior.
You and I are alike in that way.
And you'll use any means to achieve your ends.
You and I are also alike in that way.
I've known everything all along.
About you.
On that day of the bloodbath, you were the sole heir...
to the throne of the rebel faction that escaped the wrath of my sword.
Yet I accepted you into the ranks of our warriors.
And I kept you by my side.
Why do you think that is?
I knew I could use you to eliminate my enemies...
without getting blood on my hands.
And as I expected, you did eliminate my enemies.
That's why I took care of you.
After all you've done for me, that's the least I can do, isn't it?
You can become my right hand.
You have no one.
No one's on your side.
And what would I get in return?
What you desire the most...
I'll give you Moo-young.
Moo-young, why don't we go on a date?
It�ll be our second date.
Why aren't you eating?
- Do you want something else? - Si-yon...
Just go along with me for the day. Please.
What should we do now?
What do you want to do? Go for a drive?
Si-yon...
If you have something to say, please do.
You have my ear.
I want you to kill me.
So I can be sacrificed for the sake of our fox race...
Please kill me.
Please...
How could you say such a thing to me? How?
You think I could really do that?
You think I could really kill you with my own hands?
- But you have to! - Si-yon...
I'm so sorry to have to ask you to do this...
But you're the only one who can do it.
We're searching, using the museum as the focal point.
But we haven't found any secret paths.
Hack into their system if you have to, and find out!
The SICS is doing everything to find this place.
Director Jang even found the red moon sword.
He knows about the 1000-year-old fox for sure.
As long as the red moon sword remains in human hands, we can't relax.
Go kill Kang Min-woo, and bring me the sword.
Didn't you hear me?
Go kill Min-woo, and bring me the sword!
Allow me.
Allow me to go find the red moon sword.
This mission isn't for you.
You should prepare yourself for the ceremony.
No one else can lay a hand on Kang Min-woo.
I'm the only one who can kill him.
What's this about?
You really plan to kill Kang Min-woo?
Si-yon...
This is the best thing I can do for him.
I don't understand...
Otherwise, his life will be in danger.
I'll maim his arms or his legs...
So that he can't fight until the ceremony is over.
That's better than him dying.
Hae-in...
How did you know about this place...?
Hae-in...
Why are you doing this?
Hae-in...
