(Episode 14)
Why did you not tell her that you lived on an island?
She never asked.
Darn it.
Aeng Du.
Eat this.
Eat it over there.
What?
Are you that dumb?
You should have dried your feet first.
Forget it. Let us just go.
If your feet are cold, you will catch a cold.
You will make my life harder if you do.
There.
All done.
- I told you... - Not to do stuff like this for you.
I will do whatever I want.
It is not like you listen to me either.
It is not that.
I do not know your real name.
What?
When I thought that you fell into the water earlier,
I could not call you...
because I did not know your name.
Do you want me to tell you?
I do not want to.
Is your name that precious to share with me?
I will tell you later...
if you take good care of Dong Dong and Dong Joo.
I will tell you once they grow their cockscomb, lay eggs,
and become chickens.
Your answer is always "later".
Forget it.
I will tell you then,
so you should stay with them and raise them well.
They need you.
You are their owner. Okay?
Promise me that you will do so.
I will keep addressing you as a jerk then.
Hey, why are you always so harsh?
My request is not that hard to comply with.
Promise me. You will not promise?
Gosh.
(The Muweol Corps must leave. Do not leave any traces behind.)
The chancellor is indeed naive.
The only solution he could come up with...
was sending the Muweol Corps to Hanyang.
However, the King has his eyes on this place.
So it will be dangerous for them to stay here.
If you also visit our house...
I have been visiting this gisaeng house every day.
Stop coming here would draw more attention.
Then, what should we...
Follow the chancellor's instruction.
We will.
I will go to Hanyang as soon as dawn breaks.
I have a few questions for the chancellor as well.
I am going to ask him...
to follow the current.
I will provide guards and horses.
That is all right.
I will go to Hanyang with a widow who just joined the Muweol Corps.
And I believe you have met her too.
I do?
Your Majesty.
I am the vice-curator in charge...
of the village for widows at Mudam Valley.
- My name... - That is enough.
Tell me about the village for widows.
Tell me everything even if it does not seem suspicious.
You can only go home if your answers satisfy me.
Yes.
I heard you joined the Muweol Corps.
They said they would pay me.
I heard you are preparing to commit treason.
I am sparing your life even though you ought to be dead...
because Dong Joo asked me to.
But it is getting difficult.
I am starting to want to break my promise I made to her.
I am not intimidated by a man who is all talk.
Well, do as you please.
Do not sway her.
I will make it brief.
Hey. I lost him because of you.
Who are you?
Wait. Are you not...
Thank goodness I did not promise...
that I would stay beside him until the chicks grew up.
But I want to.
I want to stay by his side.
I am sorry, Mom.
Her belongings are still here.
It cannot be.
No.
What is this?
- What? - How could you go without telling?
- Where have you been? - You disappeared too.
Hwa Su asked for my help, so I was at her place.
Do you think I did not check?
It looks like you are planning to go somewhere.
Leave and let me sleep.
I will not ask you to like me.
You can use me if you want. I am fine with that.
So...
Please do not disappear on me.
I am begging you.
Is it okay for you not to be disguised?
Have you not heard?
Lord Heo is behind me.
What?
That is why it would be natural to visit him like this.
We are here.
Are you leaving today?
Yes.
Are you hurrying...
because of him?
I am leaving because I am ready.
All right.
Let us go to Hanyang together.
I will go alone. Please do not follow me.
Fine.
But I must check to see if you have arrived safely.
Do you remember where the swing was?
Show me your face anytime between 9pm and 11pm.
That is all that I ask.
If I do that,
will you not do anything?
Are you talking about him?
Yes.
Promise me that you will never harm him.
And yet, you tell me that you do not like him?
Even if I do, I will hide my feelings.
I will leave without saying anything and hurt him.
That way, he will despise me.
That will be better...
than my dying...
and his losing me.
I know very well...
how it feels to lose someone you love so dearly...
and to continue on living.
I will not let that happen.
So you do not need to worry about...
You are crying.
And it is because of him.
You are not warning me.
You are confessing your feelings for him.
Please pay me for everything I have worked for you.
No.
I will pay you in Hanyang. Do not be late.
Thank you.
I am alive.
A gisaeng house provides for the village...
Bring in their boss...
and the widows who are close to her.
If there is no evidence
bring in witnesses.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Has everyone escaped?
Yes.
They have.
And Lady Kim has left with Lady Chun already.
So we are the last ones.
My house...
and my friends are all there.
I did those cold-blooded deeds so that I could live there in peace.
We need to leave...
to keep our friends safe.
Let us go.
- All right. - Pour me a cup.
This is nice. All right.
There he comes.
Let us move.
- Let us go! - Let us go!
Come on!
Why do you not...
yield yourself?
He promised that he would take care of people like us...
who are powerless.
If so,
is he not better than the current King?
I wonder if you will think the same after seeing this.
This is Lady Min's...
We found her dead body on the mountain behind the village.
And we have recently found out who killed her.
Are you saying Grand Prince Neungyang did this?
Why?
So he could dig up whatever he needed to know about me,
find my weakness, and eventually threaten me with it.
You think he will care for the weak?
He is a man who can kill anyone...
in order to get what he wants.
Grand Prince Neungyang is provoking us to make the first move.
He is very much prepared, so you must be careful.
Should we find him and kill him?
He did nothing wrong.
He had to hide and live on an island because of his father.
Bring him back alive.
"An island"? Are they talking about my brother?
Is it a bit uncomfortable to be friends?
I thought it would be nice for us to be friends.
I am sure we will slowly become friends.
Yes, of course. We will be working together for a long time.
Am I of any help to your plan?
I would not keep you around if you were useless.
There is something...
I need you to help me with, but that is not part of my plan.
Your younger brother... I mean...
I need to find His Majesty's son.
Are you going to kill him if I find him for you?
Well...
I am thinking of killing him because he is useless to me.
But what do you think?
I am also willing to follow your opinion.
Hwang Tae.
How did you get caught?
Did you get hurt?
Are you okay?
You must have been through a lot.
I missed you, Hwang Tae.
How did you get here?
Well, it is a long story.
But I came to save you. Let us get out of here.
No.
I am not here because I got caught.
What?
I thought you got caught by Grand Prince Neungyang.
I thought you were running...
from the person who tried to kill us...
We almost got killed on the island...
because of you.
- Hwang Tae. - Grand Prince Neungyang...
saved me right when I was about to get killed because of you again.
What are you talking about?
The reason we had to hide,
the reason why my mother had to die such a pitiful death,
and the reason why we had to get chased all the time...
I found out why.
Was it because of me?
Yes, it was all because of you.
Never mind.
Forget it. You should go.
I will not tell anyone that I saw you today, so get going.
Why was it my fault?
Why?
Tell me.
Tell me!
Do you really want to hear it?
Are you sure you can handle it?
Tell me.
Fine.
This is all because of you.
This is...
This is all because...
you are the son...
of His Majesty.
Do not kill him.
We need someone to go back and tell Lord Heo...
not to waste his energy.
That is nonsense.
You expect me to believe that?
You expect me to believe that I am His Majesty's son?
If you cannot believe me,
you should go ahead and ask His Majesty yourself.
What is the matter with you?
I am your younger brother.
I am my father's son.
That is what I also thought!
That is why...
That is why I lived such a difficult life.
Mother.
Hwang Tae! Come on in here!
- Mother! - It is all your fault.
Had it not been for you,
my son would have...
My family would have...
I am no longer going to live that way.
I am going to retrieve everything I had lost...
because of you.
Hwang Tae.
Please do not do this.
Let us leave together.
You cannot abandon me like this.
What am I supposed to do now?
Run away by yourself.
This is all I know, so do not come looking for me again.
Do not try to know anything.
Hide and live like you do not exist.
If you do not do that,
you will surely die.
Get out of here. Leave.
Leave right now!
Brother.
Do not call me that...
anymore.
Did anything happen?
The alcohol got me feeling a little sentimental.
What is going on outside?
It is nothing.
It has been taken care of. Do not worry, and rest.
I have another appointment. Goodnight.
You are here.
But...
I could not find Lady Kim, so I came here alone.
I needed to ask you something.
You could not find her?
Okay. Go inside.
I need to step outside for a moment.
Did you kill Lady Min?
Yes.
I killed her in order to keep a secret.
I got rid of a possibility that may cause trouble later.
Is there something wrong with that?
In case of trouble in the future,
you killed a woman who risked her life to do her duty?
It is only natural for someone...
who has served her purpose to disappear. Do you not agree?
In that case, you might abandon the Muweol Corps...
and the village for widows whenever you want.
You can make sure I do not abandon them.
And as for the village for widows,
I have already abandoned it.
Let us go!
If you need a village, I can build another one.
If you want a gisaeng house, I will make...
the biggest and the fanciest one in Hanyang.
Please do not tell me you thought...
taking the Muweol Corps out of the village...
would solve this.
You must have thought little of the King.
Please give me some time.
I will make sure...
no one becomes evidence for the King.
I can move the whole village somewhere else if necessary.
Why?
- Pardon? - Why must I do that?
It is a hassle...
when I know a very simple way...
that guarantees what I want.
I understand now.
I am glad.
Wait for me in the room.
And tell Dan Ho to find Lady Kim.
Yes, my lord.
Did you catch him?
Who are you?
My father, my brother, and me.
Why did you try to kill us?
Who on earth am I?
Answer me.
- Are you... - My lord! Lord Heo!
The village for widows is in danger.
Let us begin!
- Yes! - Let us start.
- Oh, no. - What?
- There is a fire! - Fire!
Do not miss anyone.
- What is going on? - Darn it.
There were rice cake and meat in it.
Anyway, it was really good.
I have never heard of a place that sells that dish.
My gosh, this is frustrating.
I am certain this is the place. I am certain of it.
Hey, just eat some food and go.
You will see a tiger later if you stay out.
That is all right.
We can spend the night here.
With this, we can spend 10 nights here.
She is talking a bunch of nonsense.
Why did he tell her to eat something that does not exist?
Gosh, this is annoying.
But she has a lot of money with her.
Kill everyone!
Kill all of them.
(Brewery)
That is our village.
Fire...
How dare you?
Lady Kang, what is going on?
I do not know.
Fire...
Kill all of them.
Dong Joo.
Stop it immediately!
What is that? Where are you going?
Tell him that I am sorry that it is not much.
To whom?
Your brother.
What is his name?
Nok Du.
(The Tale of Nokdu)
Dan Ho. That jerk.
I cannot spare him any longer.
A group of robbers did this?
I will find and kill them...
no matter what.
Is this what you were trying...
to hide from me?
Hanyang? You must take things easy for the time being.
There is a conversation I have not finished yet.
Until when will you ride it?
I guess fate found its way to you.
