Aigoo! The hell is this?
It will soon be over.
Lean on me just a moment.
Just capture him alive, why shoot at him?
Episode 5
Ever caught a dragon by fishing?
He wouldn't fall for that.
But what now? Do we wait until the boat comes back?
When the boat sails...
It sailed, you dumbass.
Wangson, load them back.
Ahh... We practically had him.
Are they all gone, Naeuri?
Can you swim, by any chance?
Sure can!
I've spent half my life surrounded by water.
Then, jump off.
From here?
My apologies. I can't let you bring the boat back, can I?
You know how to row?
I'll have to give it a try.
Let me help you.
Do you know how?
No...
But don't they always say "many hands make light work"?
Just sit down and rest.
Too many hands will row the boat up a mountain.
They took the stream here, so it's either Ggalddak Pass or Cow Head Ridge.
With a woman by his side, crossing Ggalddak Pass would be arduous,
so they probably headed for the ridge.
Then, guess I wouldn't make it either?
Let's just go for Ggalddak Pass.
Will we have enough time?
If they cross that pass safely, then paths will open in all directions.
It'd be like tossing fish in the river.
They'll stay at the tavern down the pass,
so we'll have to catch them within the next two days.
Let's cross the upper stream.
But will we be able to find any place to cross it?
Sure. If you walk a day in that direction, there's a shoal.
The hell do you know anyway?
What's wrong with you?
This wench has been all over the peninsula, for your information.
Think there is any river or pass we didn't cross before?
All right, enough with the prattling.
Follow me.
Orabeoni.
Aigoo...
"Orabeoni..."
So that was the real hound on her trail.
I made it! It's over!
Listen, boatman.
When are you going to get that boat back?
What?
Ehh...
Are you all right?
I can't breathe.
Close your mouth and breathe through your nose.
You can't breathe properly through your mouth,
so it would only make things worse.
I can't run anymore.
You go ahead first.
Let us rest a moment.
Looks like they're on your trail for clan-related matters.
And what is your reason?
When we first met, you were donning military garments,
and was severely wounded.
But when those troops appeared,
you told me we had to run away.
Am I truly the only one who is running away?
Or are you in the same situation?
It was an injury incurred during training.
Then, why did you tell me to run away?
Did you desert your post?
Or committed any treacherous misdeed?
May you rise.
They cannot abandon their horses,
so they'll go up the mountain, and cross the river.
We did gain about a day,
but they will soon be breathing down our necks.
Who are they, Naeuri?
- Whom are you referring to? - The people on our trail.
Are they trailing me,
or is it you?
They are after you.
I neither deserted my post nor committed any crime.
Then, are you really being trailed?
No...
People on my trail is not what I'm running away from.
I'm merely dashing in search of someone.
Get up.
Have you awakened?
Have we been lying there all this time?
You were hit behind the head, your underlings in the pit of their stomachs.
They are amongst the most crucial of vital parts,
so you will feel discomfiture for the next few days.
Who was the man tagging along with Milady?
I could not say.
Either a disciple who lost his path,
or one looking for it, I suppose?
I have no time to squander with your sermons.
Did she follow him?
They likely crossed the river.
Crossed to go where?
Look, Monk.
Milady fled from her spouse right after her conjugal ties.
Milord is engulfed by concern, so tell us.
Where was she headed?
To find a path she could walk on, she said.
Fine.
I will just leave for today,
but should anything befall her,
I shall return and make you pay for your negligence.
And that, too, is karma.
Ahh... Shit, for a bunch of drunken nuns' sake,
are those motherless ninnies trying to aggravate me on purpose?
It's because of scamps like you that the doors of Nirvana are always closed!
Ahh... Really.
Ohh... Goddess of Mer...
Are you sure?
I told you I saw it!
They followed this gisaeng to an alley, and then...
Gisaeng?!
*gisaeng (female entertainer) parlors
Hyungnim. Shouldn't we look at all the gibang* in the area?
Look at their wounds.
Those are the marks of a professional.
So it is likely not a gisaeng, but someone disguised as one.
Could it be someone Lord Choi sent?
Let's go.
We're just going?
Our foremost duty is taking care of their families now.
Hyungnim? Aren't you eating?
Is it bearable?
Meseems...
time is not yet ripe to leave.
I was thinking of entrusting the Military Training Command to your care,
how would you feel about it?
I shall devote my every earnest effort to repay your benevolence.
You sure shall...
But, tell me. Are you still unwed?
Gullibly stolid as I am, I still could not find a spouse.
Shame...
Such remarkable specimen bereft of a spouse.
May I take advantage of your allegiance?
It would be my utmost honor and privilege.
I have a daughter ripe for marriage.
The newlywed abandons his nuptial berth?!
Are you back, Your Excellency?
Call me Father.
In-laws are sons as well.
I could never dare, Your Excellency.
Ohh Ohh!
You are my son, now.
Are you refuting that?
Then, I will address you as you wish.
Father.
In due time, all I possess shall be yours.
Do you realize that?
*In-law
You came a long way, Sadon*.
Yes, Your Excellency.
Go meet your son.
Yes...
What happened... What happened to you?
Do not cry, Mother.
Are they feeding you properly?
Are you just sleeping over there?
Aren't you cold?
Just go.
Didn't His Excellency say anything?
He said that you'll be released in no time, right?
You need not come again.
I shall soon be out.
Right.
Of course you will.
They must let you out.
His Excellency would never forsake his son-in-law.
- Mother. - Tell me.
The curfew will soon be upon us...
*archaic for partner, spouse
Seobangnim*.
My father is a daunting man.
Do not try to contend with him.
Even only trying to convey this...
is much too arduous for me.
I could hold this brush for days on end,
and write not a single character, Seobangnim.
We will have to find lodging for the night.
Will it be all right?
- If they are still on our trail... - Men could proceed impervious to fatigue,
but horses cannot.
So they will be forced to sleep as well.
I see.
Then, where would we be...
It will have to be here.
Here... where?
Were you hoping for a silken quilt?
Orabeoni... Aren't you eating?
Let's have some food... Food!
As if Wangson wasn't enough...
Orabeoni!
I'm so hungry I could die...
Ahh... you wench, is this some excursion?
Why are you screaming at her? Always so grumpy...
The horses are tired as well, so let's take a break.
Just the perfect place for brigands to come after us.
Wangson, let's eat.
Now, that's talking.
Seolhwa! Let's make some food.
Food?! Sure! Let's do it. Food.
Something tasty, to boot!
You will avoid the dew with this.
It is even better than a silken quilt.
Go in.
Is that the only one?
I can just sleep outside.
Aigoo...
I'm the fool, all right. Aigoo...
Orabeoni.
Can you really cook anything out of this?
You really don't know how to cook?
Yeah. Never tried before.
Not even side dishes?
We never really had to do that.
Then, sewing?
Of course we didn't do that.
Ahh... I'll be damned.
Listen. Just go, uh?
At this age, do I have to look after you?
Orabeoni...
What's wrong? Uh?
But... Who's this woman Daegil Orabeoni is looking for?
His lover?
A runaway slave.
She was pretty?!
Whatever. Pretty or not...
He takes those sketches out wherever we go, and...
"Seen this woman before?"
I've had it, already.
Were they really that close?
Told you I don't know. He's been looking for her the last ten years.
He sought the same woman for the last ten years?
That's cool.
Cool, my ass...
Tigers must have feasted on all the real cool men, if even he is cool.
A man so obsessed just for a woman? Uh?!
Then again... Where would you find someone like that?
They're all after a night's fleeting pleasures.
Fleeting pleasures... Now that's nice.
By the way, are we done with "that time of the month"?
How about tonight? Uh?
We'll do some healthy sweating for a change.
Orabeoni.
What?
Wangson Orabeoni is all strange.
He keeps touching my behind.
What? When did I ever? Listen to her lie so shamelessly...
I'm a woman just like the others...
Just because I was in a dancing troupe,
do I have to be subjected to this?
Hey! Want trouble?
Come here.
Eonni.
I did nothing. Stop listening to her.
I said come here, you...
- Still sitting? - Ahh... Really.
I told you I didn't do it!
You horny little prat.
Do you need to throw yourself at every skirt like a moth to a flower?
Ahh... I'll be damned.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Stop drooling and wake up, you fool.
Also, don't pick flowers from your own garden, unless you want trouble.
Eonni... Is it because you don't trust me?
You, I can trust.
It's your little friend down there I can't.
But I trust you from head to toe.
Uh?!
So both my little friend and I...
deserve your trust.
What are you doing?
Go help him.
But I don't know how to cook?!
Then, learn.
Aren't cooking and popping out babies a woman's specialty?
You were in a dancing troupe, so time to earn your keep.
Get moving.
All those shenanigans for a paltry meal.
Hey... Snakes will all rush here.
Why? Didn't you want me to earn my keep?
I'd never do this just for a shabby meal,
but I'm making an exception for you today.
Listen well.
Know what a flea trying to avoid a sparrow sounds like?
This is the sound of a swine giving birth to fifteen piggies.
This is a poor dog caught by a butcher.
And here's a horny cow howling before a bull.
This is the throbbing sound the Young Master's heart makes,
when he glances at the Milady next door.
Without stinky mongrels like Daegil and Cheon Jiho around,
the streets are all quiet and peaceful.
What are all those ghosts doing at night,
dozing off while those rats prance about?
They're still wet behind the ears, uh?
But they sure talk to you as if you were their butler, little scamps...
They sure do!
If I had been a few years younger,
I'd just twist them upside down and make them squirm like a toad.
Sure!
Imagine if I had them in a fight, back in the day.
Forget Wangson, what if Daegil tried to go at me?
He'd be in trouble for sure. No question about it.
I'll call it a night.
Where are you going?
The night is still young.
Where are you touching?
Is this touching?! I just unintentionally fondled it...
By the way, when are you putting on those silken robes?
I'm cooking and serving drinks deep into the night,
where would I have the time to put on clothes?
Just go wear them.
If you do, I'll make you a pretty portrait.
Aigoo... All you paint is indecent smut,
portrait... my ass.
Say what? What are you prattling about?
You're talking to someone who, in the good old days,
even painted His Majesty's portrait once.
Yeah, right... The Grim Reaper having diarrhea would be more likely.
You've never even farted in the royal palace's direction,
and you painted His Majesty's what?!
Let's shut those traps, shall we?
We're discussing state matters, and you gabble like plucked hens over a boiling pot!
Stop swilling all over the place like a rabid mutt, and hit the sack.
Yes...
Go ahead. So, what?
So... Also... Ohh! There's this second cousin of Yoon from the capital prefecture.
A second cousin in the capital... Go ahead.
Seems like seven of his slaves ran away all at once.
Great! Seven of them?!
Ohh... How about you?
*small gate in the SW part of Seoul, between Sungnye and Doneui Gate
You know Minister Kim from Soseomun* has a son, right?
The one he got after all those daughters, when he ate mountain ginseng?
He and this slave wench did some navel-grinding together and fled in the night!
It's a feast, a feast, all right!
It's a hundred nyang for a single hit.
Great... Just great!
We'll catch them within a month, so tell them not to worry.
By the way.
I wonder if we're spoiling you a little too much?
From what I hear, seems like you're splitting the keep...
with slave hunters straight in the middle?
Stop spewing brain farts, uh?
If I did that, I'd already have bought myself a house and some land!
Why would I be forced to wear these robes in open summer?
- It was just a rumor, nothing more... - Forget it!
From now on, forget about me taking care of your dirty laundry.
- Ahh... - Chief Oh!
It's just a rumor, come on...
I said forget it!
I pride myself on being loyal above all else!
I'm not going to listen to you prattle that nonsense any longer!
I said shut those traps!
Everyone in good health?
Yes, Naeuri.
Before the morning repast, make sure you gather a coat string each.
All of us?
Indeed.
The males on the right, in order of seniority.
While the slatterns can gather on the left.
Yes, Naeuri.
Where is he using all those strings?
The hell I know?
As if he ran out of cloth...
And how are we supposed to go about without any coat strings?
Ohh Ohh! Really... You sure quibble like a wench!
Stop acting like a dimwit, for starters.
Just do as you're told and stop arguing!
I'm not arguing, it's just that I'm curious...
Don't be!
What's the point?
You're going to use that to pass the national examination?
I'm sorry.
Ehh... You fool.
You run away the first chance you get, uh?
If you run away, what about the cotton you're due?
Don't you know we'll all have to share the burden in your stead?
Think anyone enjoys slavery?
That's enough.
The lives of those who run away might change,
but what about those who remain here?
Then, you could have followed me and escaped!
You little...
- Enough... - Ehh!
See what happens if you only try that again!
That... That little scamp!
I just ought to...
If you drop your lives, I'll save your weapon!
Seems like we have quite the decent blade here.
And who would you be?
Should we give you a taste and let you find out?
Mountain brigands?
You knave!
You dare address us in that manner?
Can you just doze off for free on someone else's territory?
Either pay for the courtesy, or give up your lives in return.
Wouldn't that be benevolent of us?
Does this mountain all belong to you reprobates?
Ahh... This wench sure speaks fancy for someone dressed like a loon.
I'll tame her real well,
so leave behind all you have, and get going.
Any more brigands in the area?
Why?
The pecker must be shriveling at the thought? Uh?
Every peak has its mountain brigands, and every valley its vandals.
And we're the scariest of them all.
Think we don't have our history?
Just count the royal emissaries we got through, and it's half a dozen.
Jjakgwi Eonni from Mt. Worak is our boss!
So there's more of you.
Take a good look and convey my words to them, then.
Don't ever hinder my path again.
Eonni!
Eonni.
Let's just leave her there. Uh?
Kiddo.
Food?!
Aren't you eating?
- What? - Aren't you having breakfast?
Go back to sleep.
Wangson, let's leave her here.
You dropped this.
~ Jeju Island ~
~ Lee Seokgyeon (to be Prince Gyeongan) ~
Ahh... Really.
Look, darling.
The prime of your youth will all wither away, uh?
Forget this, and escape to the mainland with me.
Don't you know that badgering a court lady could get you killed?
Hanyang is thousands of ri away, and she still acts like a court lady.
Enough with the palaver, and free the way.
Ehh Ehh... Really.
You can't even return to the palace anyway,
why all the act?
Not to mention the profundity of the laws of nature,
so let us choose one day and procreate, uh?
If you don't free the way, I will report what you said to the local office.
Look...
If you remain here, you never know when the plague could hit you.
I have land all over the eight provinces.
Listen to me.
The shed in our abode, you know? It's filled to the brim.
Ahh... Keep being stubborn, will you?
Is it because of that moppet?
And I thought you were much more dignified than your past suggested,
but you were a beast deep inside, all right.
How dare you call the Royal Successor a "moppet"?
Not to mention that you even served His Highness in Qing territory.
Besmirch his name again,
and I shall discipline you, even if it will be the very last thing I do!
The epitome of fealty, all right. Uh?
Why treat a traitor's son with such devotion?
Hey... Court lady. Look, darling.
I am a court lady, and you're nothing but a constable.
How dare you demean yourself with such impudence?
I might only be a constable now,
but I was a top officer at the Military Training Command,
back in the day.
I know your past all too well.
In return for betraying General Song Taeha,
you alone were granted survival, right?
Stop.
It is your last chance.
If you confess that you appropriated state crops,
you will only be demoted and duly imprisoned for your crimes,
but if you refuse to the end,
you might survive to see the morrow, but regret every painful step you take.
A meager salary is all we have to show for,
but we spent our whole lives invigorated by the pride...
of representing the Military Training Command.
I have no qualms about perishing on the battlefield,
but being forced to lie and confess I stole military supplies...
is a more mortifying dishonor than death itself!
Military supplies disappeared from the state coffers,
and were found at your abode!
Confess.
About who instigated you, and who stole those...
Your Excellency.
Do we look like varmints who would steal crops?
Even when spending years as prisoners of the Qing,
we never had to endure such disgrace!
- This is Joseon! - Slay us instead!
I shall rather choose demise than take part in your mendacious plot!
Just confess, that Song Taeha forced you.
Then, I shall spare your life.
Prepare the iron.
Why would you squander away your life?
So much merriment abounds in this world.
Proceed.
I will...
I will confess!
His... His Excellency Song Taeha...
ordered us to move... those supplies.
Move them where?
To... move them...
to his abode.
Who was involved?
Except... me...
All... All of them.
Hey! Court lady!
I'm clean, I did nothing wrong.
Aigoo... Look at that behind.
Who's winning?
Your Highness, forgive me.
Forgive me for being so late...
What's wrong with the moppet again, always yowling?
The sooner that moppet croaks, the faster we'll get out of here.
There are rumors coming from the state tribunal, as it is.
Seems like it won't be far until he faces his mother's same end.
You know? I met the wrong higher-up, was framed for stealing,
and look at what I have to endure, uh?
I just ought to...
An inspection on the way!
Anything to report?
Nothing.
Do not neglect patrol.
- The situation is serious. - Yes.
Look... You just wait.
- I'll cover you in luxury. Are we set? - Beat it!
Ohh... You're all the more charming when you do that, darling.
Look!
Let's switch.
Need to make my cut.
Kiddo.
Come here.
See if you can smell anything here.
Am I your hound?
I'll give you twice the food, go ahead.
Doesn't really smell?!
Come take a look.
- I take that back. - Hey!
Seems like they had quite the fight here,
take a look at these.
How many did he fight with?
I'd say about seven-eight people at least.
That way, this,
and over there.
It's one of the three directions,
but footsteps are dispersed.
Eonni, I found it. Here.
Take a look. I found it.
Acting just like a proper gentleman paving the way for a wench.
What's that? What would that be?
Real men will pave the way for you.
So women can just follow after them.
Seeing all the traces he's leaving behind,
it's a clear sign something is distracting him.
It's only a matter of time now.
But who is this woman who is tagging along?
There were rumors all his family had perished?!
We'll find out soon, I guess.
Let's get going.
Ggeutbong.
Were you asked to gather coat strings as well?
Coat strings?! Who?
- Ahh... The Master gathered us... - Yeah.
And told us to give him one coat string each.
Really?
Ours asked us for a straw sandal each?!
The hell are they doing? I have no idea.
If you learn, then what?
Just do as they say. And then...
We can just slaughter them all.
But why is it so quiet?
Didn't they mention whom to start with?
There's so many we must slaughter, must be complicated.
Just give them some time.
By the way...
Can't you teach me how to shoot with those rifles?
Do you have one?
Course not.
Ehh... Then, forget it.
One needs to shoot with his own weapon.
The way you shoot...
changes depending on who's shooting.
So, if I were to get myself one of those matchlocks,
how much would I...
Anyhow, rifles are always the issue.
What are you waiting for?
Pour us some drinks.
- Yes... - Sure, sure.
I just couldn't take it anymore,
so I gathered all the minions' coat strings.
Their coat strings?!
Yes. If you write your name on those coat strings and...
hang them upside down on a pillar,
they say that slaves will never run away!
Now that's a first...
I gathered sandals, instead.
Sandals?!
So even sandals could work?
After you gather them all and boil them,
if you throw them in the latrine,
they say the minions won't even think about escaping.
I'll have to give that a try, then!
- Naeuri... - Yes?
If you gather your slaves' hair, burn them,
and throw the ashes in the furnace,
they say even runaway slaves will make their return.
And where did you hear such precious wile?
The son of Minister Kim from Seosomun...
fell for a slave wench and eloped with her,
*female shaman
but after they summoned a mudang*,
that's what she told them.
Ehh! Mudang?!
Is that not superstition?!
Ahh... Ahh... Sure is!
In this day and age, listening to a mudang's words?!
Ehh Ehh... Enough with the prattling,
and let's see some action!
Orabeoni.
Is catching slaves profitable?
She's got all sorts of curiosities, all right.
Add all the expenses, and you're left with nothing.
So why keep doing it?
Is it fun?
Are people living out of fun?
They just hope the morrow will bless them with some.
Listen to that.
If today is no fun, think the morrow would be any different?
Life is to be enjoyed day by day.
If you know, why the hell are you asking, you wench?
As if a kiddo like you would know...
Say what? I have street smarts myself.
I've seen and experienced a lot more than you ever will.
Wangson! Get this experienced wench out of my sight.
Aigoo... Eonni.
Forget it. You should have left her there when I told you.
Don't even jest about that.
Do you even know what being abandoned feels like?
You know?
Forget all the other warts, but that tongue of yours is the issue.
That's the problem...
Didn't you hear that?
Sounded like people?
Likely...
I guess more brigands are on the way.
Await just a little longer.
This is almost ready.
It has cooled down,
so they're probably a half day ahead of us.
Still, this feels strange.
He's not your average specimen,
why would he leave such obvious traces behind?
He's being distracted.
If this keeps up, we might catch him before dawn breaks.
I envy them so much.
They even get to eat meat.
Were you a hunter?
There seems to be nothing you can't catch...
The most important thing during military training...
is learning how to survive in distress.
There is nothing I cannot catch or eat.
There are people on our trail,
can we continue leaving traces like this?
They will not easily be repelled.
It is much wiser to lure them this way,
and then mislead them at the last moment.
But, where in Chungju are you headed?
There lives a master I used to serve.
I will go pay my respects,
and I also have something to discuss.
Then, I will go along my way past the mountain.
Being together will only continue to burden you.
As you wish.
Eat some.
Snakes are not really my...
You need to feed yourself, if we are to continue.
Are we in... Cheon Jiho!
Aigoo!
Chief Oh.
So... How are we faring?
Ahh... All peace and prosperity!
By the way, what do you have there?
What else, the dog of all dogs! A little mongrel.
As a courtesy to you, I've chosen a particularly tasty-looking one.
Still, when it comes to you and me,
I'd understand a swine or an ox, but a mongrel is a little...
Ahh... What are you saying...
It might just be nothing but a mongrel for now,
but in due time you'll see oxen and swines coming your way,
so stop worrying.
- Right... Chief Oh, just a moment. - Sure.
And what is all this?
Silk from the Middle Kingdom.
So that you could give it to the missus.
This precious silk...
And you're giving it to me, uh?!
Ahh... When you're working for your country,
need to enjoy stability in the family.
Now you even worry about the missus...
Listen, Cheon Jiho!
Let's go for the long run! Uh?!
If we are to go the long run, we'll have to see each other a little more.
So let's see some... you know... a little more...
work coming our way, shall we?
Ahh... Don't mention it!
Would I neglect a hero for the ages and entrust search orders to anyone else?
But, I haven't seen Daegil around, these days?
Ahh... Is that so?
Beats me.
It's been long since I've closed that chapter.
Ahh... Then, let's see what's under the skirt.
Of whose abode and who ran away today?
Right!
Ohh!
There's this second cousin of Yoon, formerly of the capital prefecture.
Seven of his slaves ran away at once?!
Seven would be a hundred and five nyang...
Also...
This, Minister Kim's son from Seosomun,
he did some navel-grinding with a slave wench and ran away.
But now...
Ahh... The one he got after eating mountain ginseng?
Right!
Ahh... He got a son past sixty,
he wouldn't be stingy about it!
You think?
For a single hit, you've got all of a hundred...
A hundred short of 150, why ask for more?
No worries, I'll deal with it within a month.
Where could they possibly run to? It's all the same.
Look, Cheon Jiho!
Forget about just business,
how about we act like Eonni and Dongsaeng?
I'd be the Eonni, and the youngest goes along.
How could I do that? I'm four-five years older,
how could I call you Eonni, Chief?
Ahh... Forget that corny...
Does age matter anyhow?!
Experience all over the place is what counts.
There are laws on the street!
Ahh... We can just change them.
I'll be the Eonni, uh?
Ahh... In this trade of ours,
age is your rank.
Uh?! If I go around calling you that, I'll become a laughing-stock.
Listen to him.
So what you're saying...
is that you won't treat me like your Eonni?
Uh?!
Do I have to get my hands dirty?
Ahh... That damned mongrel, stop yapping that trap!
Keep barking and I'll have you for dinner!
Stop yapping that dirty mug!
I'll fucking skin you and get it over with!
Uh?! I! Am Cheon Jiho...
Cheon Jiho!
Ahh... You're talking to the mongrel, aren't you?
Aigoo... What's with all the wobbling?
Ahh... I kind of have the tendency to...
Are you back?
Yes, Master.
How did it go?
Song Taeha safely escaped,
but hunters are hard on his trail.
Not only did the authorities get involved,
even the Training Command sent out men,
and Left State Councilor Lee Gyeongshik even employed slave hunters.
I bet he did...
He's always been quick on his feet.
Should we not find another way?
Another way?
He already was disabled in one leg,
and has not been honing his skills for years,
so how could he shake off those hunters?
It's not the Song Taeha of yore.
And neither is this world of ours.
What are you planning to do?
If he's the kind of man who could not make it here,
then I was sorely mistaken about him.
Here...
Hasten with this.
We don't have much time left.
All I need is three-four days.
No, you only have two days at best.
Even if anything happens to Taeha, we must continue.
When Taeha comes, he'll have to depart for a long journey with no rest.
Where are you headed?
Wherever... the path leads me, I suppose.
If you escaped right after your nuptials,
are you going to meet your lover?
If I could meet him, I would already have.
If I could find him...
I would have found him already.
Is he far away?
Yes.
Much too far...
Hurry up! Let's go, Eonnyeon!
I said let go!
If we don't go now, we'll be the one dying!
The Young Master... What about the Young Master?
- Did he violate you? - Orabeoni...
I'll slay every single one of those beasts.
No...
Mother!
Young Master!
Don't...
Don't!
He left...
for a much too faraway place.
Taking good care of him.
Seeing the ember, they shouldn't be far.
There's a tavern down there.
We'll catch them before dawn.
Ehh... Would they just so placidly lodge there?
That's why you don't get it.
Are you going to sleep in the open with a woman by your side?
The hell do you know anyway, always barging in?
What's wrong with you? I told you I have my street smarts.
Stop prattling and keep your eyes open.
It's five hundred nyang.
Five hundred...
Do you have a family?
Seeing you tied the topknot,
you must have at least married?
The path in front of the tavern leads to Chungcheong,
the one on the side to Gangwon Province.
Avoid the mountains, and join retinues of merchants on the way.
If you put on a guise, don't use bamboo hats,
as trying to divert people's attention will only attract it.
I will.
I'm grateful for all you've done.
I wish you well.
I do, too.
- Still warm. - He's quite devious.
I promise, so just spare my life.
Ahh... I told you we're not the kind.
You can take all you want.
Let's see the mug. I said rise!
Seen him, right?
I did take a quick look, but as for the face...
Did he have a wench with him?
He sure had.
He was with this lady wearing mourning robes.
- When did they leave? - I was away when they left,
I don't know a thing.
Kiddo!
We'll split in three directions around the area.
If you find him, don't horse around and shoot a sparkler.
All right?
You remain here.
I told you to stay at the tavern, you...
Listen to you...
So you could abandon me there?
Think I would fall for that?
You even ride horses?
I even do rope dancing...
But aren't they silly?
They had horses, why leave them there and run away?
I ought to...
Orabeoni, where are you going?
Wait for me!
Oh my!
You go back in.
Nothing will happen to you.
Yes.
Are they all gone?
They're coming back.
They're going east.

~ On The Next Episode Of ~ SLAVE ~@~ HUNTERS
- Are you trailing them for a reward? - Why, you're not?
A politician always needs to know when it is time to stop.
And stop what, exactly?
I believe that is more than enough for Song Taeha's life.
If you have not a set destination, you could follow me.
He's the kind of prey whose destination you need to know beforehand.
- Who are those people? - Slave hunters.
Slave hunters?!
I'm not a slave.
I can no longer follow you.
There's tumult surrounding us, so I will take you.
I wish to leave.
If you manage to get through this,
I will give you everything I have.
Is that His Excellency Im Youngho and the Royal Successor?
He's got only two possible destinations.
I've heard of your repute.
Five hundred nyang.
We will do the utmost to please you, Naeuri.
Were you expecting Song Taeha?
Did he send you to slay me?
How dare a slave address me that way?
Song Taeha!
Long time no see.
- Who are you? - Who could I be...
Curious, uh?
