Hae-in...
How did you know about this place...?
Hae-in...
Why are you doing this?
Hae-in! Hae-in!
Sa-joon... You saw the way I was...
Horrible and grotesque, wasn't I?
Si-yon...
I didn't want him to know.
I didn't want him to see me like that...
I failed to get the red moon sword.
And you obviously failed to kill Kang Min-woo.
Go back there again.
Kill Kang Min-woo and get the sword.
Leave Kang Min-woo alone.
Sa-joon...
Could you go keep an eye on Si-yon for me?
And Mother, stay where you are.
How dare you tell me what to do!
You don't know why Si-yon went to kill Min-woo herself?
You lay a hand on him, and Si-yon will feel hurt.
And if she feels hurt, she may change her mind.
And the 1000-year-long hope of our race may be dashed.
I thought you put Si-yon before the welfare of our race.
From now on, I'll curb my petty emotions.
If through her death, we can end the curse of our race,
then I'm all for it.
I'll assume my role as the future chief elder of our race.
So you should heed what I say, Mother.
Si-yon...
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
Just as it was my fate to become the 1000-year-old fox,
this was your fate as well.
I really felt safe under your protection all these years.
You've always really cared about me. I know that.
Moo-young...
Si-yon's staying with me until the ceremony.
Where are you taking me?
I've found a place for you.
Let me go home.
That would be dangerous.
I'd like to spend my last days where I've had my happiest moments.
Si-yon...
You can watch over me.
1000-year-old fox?
On the night of the lunar eclipse, Yun Si-yon'll become the 1000-year-old fox.
That will enable them to destroy us.
No, that can't be true...
No one except her survived that massacre 13 years ago.
Why do you think that is?
They had planned the massacre to take her, the 1000-year-old fox.
In their attempt to take her, they murdered your parents as well.
There's another piece of evidence.
It's your red moon sword.
That sword can be used only by the one who has the love of the 1000-year-old fox.
What I've been after for 20 years...
And what you've been after for 13 years...
was Yun Si-yon after all.
You've already witnessed her transformation.
She even attacked you.
She'll surely kill us all unless we do something.
So we have to kill her before the lunar eclipse.
Director Jang...
Why did you do that, sir?
I had no other choice but to lie.
Yun Si-yon is the root of all our problems.
We have to get Min-woo to kill her.
Very soon our race will be able to coexist peacefully with the humans.
That day will come...
I'm going to remain a warrior till the end.
Moo-young, don't leave...
I'm afraid to be alone...
Don't worry.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm staying right here.
Si-yon...
Just as you're accepting your fate as the 1000-year-old fox,
I'm accepting my own fate.
My fate as the future chief elder of our race...
My fate of putting a sword through your chest...
Because that's what you want...
And it's the only thing I can do for you...
Tomorrow is the lunar eclipse!
And you still haven't located their base?
- I apologize, sir... - Get on the ball!
Otherwise, we're all going to die!
Come on, get going. We have to find their base.
Sir!
Where's Min-woo?
He's been in his office whimpering like a sick puppy.
We'll find their hideout soon. Are you prepared?
Pathetic...
The deaths of your parents, Min-joo, and our agents...
- Have you forgotten already? - Sir...
Even if you are in love with Yun Si-yon, this is no time to be hesitant.
She's the 1000-year-old fox who will destroy us!
I'm sorry, sir...
If you aren't man enough, then just forget it!
Your colleagues are putting their lives at stake!
Here.
Let me tell you a story.
Even after Anthony died and Terry left, Candy didn't cry.
You don't know that cartoon?
Even though her stepmother and stepsisters tortured her,
Cinderella never gave in.
And in the story of Chunhyang, she endured the threats of the evil ruler.
What's the common theme in all three of these stories?
The characters all had to deal with cruel fates.
So what I'm saying is that you're in the same boat.
So do what you want.
Forget everything, and run away with Si-yon.
We did just fine not knowing anything about these foxes.
Let them do their thing, and we humans can do our thing.
Why do you have to kill the 100-year-old fox?
Would you be able to live with yourself after killing her?
You might lose your mind.
You might as well as run away with her.
Maybe the second time's the charm.
I'm going to do it.
Good thinking.
I'm going to kill the 1000-year-old fox.
Hey, Min-woo...
Finally, tomorrow will be the lunar eclipse.
- Chae... - Yes, Chief Elder...
I can no longer trust Sa-joon or Moo-young.
Until the ceremony is over tomorrow...
Do not leave me.
Protect me till the end.
Would you?
What are you thinking about?
I know you won't let Si-yon be sacrificed.
- So what are you doing here? - No, you've got me all wrong.
For the sake of our race...
I can give up anything.
Oh?
Then you can give this up as well?
I'll stand watch now.
Will you be okay?
To be honest, I'm more worried about you.
Moo-young...
Somebody once said...
that to love someone is to expose one's weakness...
Si-yon is my weakness.
And Kang Min-woo is Si-yon's weakness.
I no longer want to have any weaknesses.
I just want to live as a warrior and the future chief elder.
We waited 1000 years in the darkness.
This is the dawning of a new age.
A new age for our race of nine-tailed foxes...
How is Si-yon?
She seems prepared to become the 1000-year-old fox.
Oh?
She's taking this better than I thought she would.
Moo-young is still a problem.
He's been too quiet.
As long as Si-yon is prepared to accept her fate,
there isn't anything Moo-young can do.
Well, I wonder... His head may say one thing,
but his heart may say something else.
By any chance...
You didn't tell him anything?
Whatever do you mean?
Never mind...
Take it to Si-yon.
Yes, Chief Elder.
- I'm here to see Si-yon. - Just go back.
- I have to see her. - Why?
Do I have to tell you everything?
Your mother asked me to give her this.
It's the ceremonial robe she has to wear tomorrow.
Chae, come in.
No matter how hard I tried, you were always the one chosen over me.
But this time... I'm relieved that it's you and not me.
Life is fair after all, isn't it?
- I understand how you feel. - You do?
Chae...
To be honest, I've always envied you.
You're always true to your feelings and thoughts.
I've always envied that.
To be true to one's feelings...
It takes courage to do that.
If you're so envious, then be true to your feelings for once.
You know I'm a coward.
Run away with that human Kang Min-woo.
Forget this 1000-year-old fox charade and get out of here!
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry you were hurt all these years because of me.
Forgive me for all the times I hurt you.
And about Moo-young...
It'll be hard for him.
Look after him, won't you?
You have to play the heroine to the end?
You think you're so special.
- Chae... - Don't worry.
You don't have to ask me to take care of Moo-young.
You force me to say farewell to you without a smile.
Could you take care of this for me?
I'm sorry, Moo-young...
All I ever do is ask you for difficult favors.
Please don't say you're sorry.
I'm the one who should be sorry.
Moo-young...
I wasn't allowed to love you...
I was destined to kill you.
For that, I'm sorry.
I resent my destiny, which didn't allow me to love you.
And for that, I'm really sorry.
Go see him.
Don't hesitate.
Why did you want to see me?
Answer me!
Because I missed you...
Because you missed me...?
Is it true that you're the 1000-year-old fox?
Is it?
Yes...
Do you know what that means?
- I do... - Then...
You must also know that I have no choice but to kill you...
Hyon-soo...
I...
I love you.
If I didn't tell you this, I knew I'd regret it.
I'm sorry...
But I love you...
Leave.
And don't ever let me see you again.
This is it for us...
- Detective Moon. - Why aren't you here at headquarters?
The director's been looking for you.
Min-woo!
- I'm leaving today. - Leaving?
For where?
- With Si-yon? - No.
- Then where are you going? - I'll call you later.
Hello...? Min-woo?
The captain wants to see you.
I was on my way to tell him about Min-woo.
What about Min-woo?
Cover for me if the captain blows his top, okay?
Are you ready?
We hacked into the museum system,
and we discovered a secret passageway behind the displays.
A secret passageway?
It's an underground passage that leads to a structure with a dome.
So you're sure the museum is their base?
You said they're having a ceremony during the lunar eclipse.
So I did some further research.
According to my calculations,
the optimal spot to witness the lunar eclipse at its height is the museum.
That's all Greek to me.
So you're sure the museum is their base, right?
Yes.
- Mobilize the agents. - Let's go.
Where's Min-woo?
Well, Captain...
- Min-woo went somewhere. - What do you mean?
Hey, don't get mad at me.
And use that bald head of yours to do some thinking.
You really think Min-woo's going to kill her?
- When he loves her that much? - What?
- You think this is a game? - No, I don't.
I'm just saying that Min-woo had to make a difficult decision.
Where's this punk Min-woo?
If Yun Si-yon dies as a sacrificial offering, there's no telling what may happen.
Where's Min-woo, you punk?
Did you say that Si-yon's going to die?
And what's this about a sacrifice?
I thought if she turned into the 1000-year-old fox, she'd hurt us or something like that...
What are you talking about?
Was that a lie?
Did you use Min-woo?
Talk, you dirt bag!
Agents, let's go.
Come on, pick up.
There's another passageway behind the underground cellar.
Detective Moon, I said I'd call you later.
- You got this all wrong. - What do you mean?
Si-yon's going to be killed as a sacrificial offering.
- What are you talking about? - Listen to me carefully.
Director Jang lied to you.
She's going to be killed by the foxes as an offering...
If you want to save her, go to the museum.
There's a passageway behind the underground cellar.
If everything goes according to the legend, Kang Min-woo will kill Yun Si-yon.
He just needs to be where she is.
I need you two to stand guard during the ceremony.
The SICS is aware of the ceremony.
We can't let our guard down.
- I trust you, Sa-joon... - Okay.
Chae...
I have to talk to Moo-young. Excuse us.
- I'll stay here. - What do you mean?
It�ll be hard for you to see Si-yon.
So I'll stay.
Thank you... But I'll do it.
I'll be the one to end her life.
I make myself sick.
Even at this very moment...
Rather than worrying about Si-yon's impending death...
I worry about how hurt you'll be.
- How sickening... - Leave.
I'm going to stay by the chief elder's side.
What?
I'm guarding her till the ceremony is over.
Your mother wants to see you.
You called for me, Mother?
I have to tell you something before the ceremony begins.
I want you to stay here during the ceremony.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
I'll carry out the ceremony. You should stay here, Mother.
What?
Only the chief elder can preside over the ceremony.
That's why I'm assuming the position of the chief elder.
As your successor.
Please allow me.
I've always known.
That you wanted the 1000-year-old fox's liver for your own purposes.
How could you?
Putting your personal agenda above the welfare of our race?
Pretending to dedicate your life for the good of the race,
and all the while telling countless lies, and killing countless people...
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
You lost your mandate as the chief elder a long time ago.
I'll assume the duties of the chief elder from here on.
And I'll sacrifice the 1000-year-old fox for our race.
If that happens, we'll end up just like the humans.
- I won't allow that to happen! - Mother...
We, not the humans, were the original masters of the world.
We were annihilated by the cruel humans and scattered...
Have you already forgotten that shameful history?
In order to survive, we had to hide among the humans for thousands of years.
Have you already forgotten that shame?
I just want everything in its original place.
Once I attain immortality and invincibility through the power of the 1000-year-old fox,
I'll destroy the human race,
and restore our race as the masters of this world.
I'll be the master of this world.
And then...
To you, my son...
I'll give you that world.
Moo-young!
I've said before that no one disobeys me and survives.
Let me repeat myself.
If you can't be on my side, then stand aside.
Otherwise, death is your only option.
Keep Moo-young here till the ceremony is over.
That's the only way he can become yours.
You won't get your way, Mother.
You could never really betray your own blood, could you?
Mother... Mother!
Chae...
To the end, this world fights against me...
And this is how my love ends...
Remember me...
And that in my own way, I loved you...
Chae... Chae!
Chae!
Moo-young!
I'm okay. Let's begin the ceremony.
Where's your mother?
May the blood of the 1000-year-old fox seep into the red moon,
and lift the curse from our race.
- Stand aside. - No.
Hyon-soo!
Please don't.
- No. - Please...
How could you? This is the woman you love!
It's a cross I have to bear.
Stand aside.
I was always sad and disappointed when it came to love.
But through you, I see what a truly tragic love is like.
As you're forced to point your sword at the woman you love,
I realize what a blessing my love has been.
Through you, I learned to feel many emotions.
Your jealousy, envy, and even hatred...
They made me see my love for what it really is.
Seeing you and how you can feel love...
Made me want to become human for the first time...
Si-yon...
Hae-in...
Don't weep over me. Don't torture yourself...
Just say this was all a dream. Forget everything...
No, I won't...
I'll remember your face, and we'll meet again.
I'm going to see you again.
So don't you forget me either...
Then the next time we meet...
Let us love each other... To death...
Yes, to death...
We'll love each other...
