Final Episode
One of them is missing.
Inspect the premises.
Yes, Naeuri!
All over the place, no stones unturned! Uh?!
Yes!
Ggeutbong!
What happened to you?
They're... all... dead...
But... I brought my rifle?!
Ggeutbong! Get a hold of yourself!
Run...
Run away... and live together with Chobok.
They're scary.
Those people are really sc...
Ggeutbong!
Ggeutbong...
Do you know how to read?
...Eonni.
Awww... Seems like old age got to my eyesight...
What is it?
Did Daegil Orabeoni send it?
Jjakgwi will take Song Taeha's spouse and the child,
and head for Mount Jobi in Yongin.
And we will meet at the tavern near the crossroads in Yicheon.
And me?
- He said to hasten? - Fine, fine...
Why should I?
If it weren't urgent, would he send us word?
That's his problem!
So he sends me to Yongin on an errand, and he takes off to Yicheon?
Do you even know who Song Taeha's spouse is?
Why even ask? She's that woman with the child...
That woman is Eonnyeon.
Right, she's...
Really?!
Why would he ask a half enemy to help him, then?!
Chief, our hideout has been exposed.
Say what?!
Our boys down the mountain weren't killed by those men,
but by Training Command officers.
Who did Daegil bring to this place?
It's in the vicinity of the old Namsomun.
Is it only Song Taeha and Lee Daegil?
We could not verify how many men were there.
What is that supposed to mean?
Both the battalion on their trail...
and the troops joining them were attacked at the same time.
They're trying to make us spread out our forces.
Don't break your lines and continue on the same pursuit.
Yes.
Our men at the Royal Embassy will maintain their post.
- Let's go. - Yes.
It's all right, you won't die.
Because, don't you know? We might have lost in battle,
but they never caught us before while on the run!
While we're there, let's just move our hideout to a place like Mount Geumgang.
If we move to such a wonderful place, wouldn't it cultivate our minds as well?
Are we moving right away?
I need to leave for a few days, so you get prepared and wait for me.
As for your belongings, I'll take care of everything, so don't worry.
And why would you take care of that?
I have reasons you don't know about.
Ehh... So... Let's see...
Dismissed!
Let's go.
This time, Daegil will have to pay me back firsthand.
I have a favor to ask.
Ohh... Go ahead.
I have a brother in Omok-Gol in Yeoju.
I'd like you to send someone and verify how he's doing.
You little...
Do you even know who you're dealing with, ordering us around?
- Also... - What, again?!
Why don't you release those men?
Those fools?
Yes, they know my spouse very well,
so I believe it was just a misunderstanding.
Fine, all right.
Before that, wait a moment.
Why didn't you tell us those troops were after you?
So, what, tagging along uninvited once again?
Who said I'd tag along?
I have places to go myself, the hell is wrong with you?
Anyhow, don't you try to follow us, or I'll just...
If you go, I wish you happiness.
You, your spouse, and the child as well.
Take good care of the Young Master.
Of course... Think of how much Daegil Orabeoni likes me.
He couldn't possibly live without me.
Listen... Listen to her...
Spewing enough crap to scare off a cow with the runs.
He can't live without you?! You'll end up croaking if he hears that...
Let's get going!
- Goodbye. - Goodbye!
A tiger, indeed.
One prances around like a twit risking his neck,
the other hides placidly shooting arrows...
Let's go.
Wretched twat...
Free the way.
Wow...
Take a look at those palace gates.
You'd wet your pants just taking a glance at them,
so how could we possibly think of infiltrating that place?
Isn't that right?
Ggeutbong.
I don't think I can live without Chobok.
She said she'd be waiting for me...
But I'm not going to die like a beast.
I'll show them...
Show them that even slaves like us...
live in this world.
If I can only do that, it'll be worth dying for.
Isn't that right, Chobok?
Runaway slaves gathered and attacked the Slave Tribunal?!
What a most lamentable quandary.
We might be blessed by prosperity according to some,
but, ignored by provincial governors who purchased their status,
throngs of peasants unable to cultivate our land gather,
turning their backs on their country,
an eternal quandary we have been lamenting for time immemorial.
With public fervor sweltered by rampant disaffection,
what could I do to quell this ferment?
Through a swift and sweeping process of pursuit and census reforms,
by gathering runaway slaves, errant wanderers and labor deserters...
and sending them to our northern frontier to build fortifications, Sire.
And you say their numbers would reach the hundred thousand?
That is indeed the case, Sire.
They are people of Joseon just as well,
so according them the opportunity to devote themselves for their country...
would not only abate any possibility of further disturbance,
but also build a stern foothold to confront the Qing with.
Proceed as you see fit.
Your grace is immeasurable, Sire.
You fool... Eopbok!
Aigoo...
Hey... Just come.
Hurry up and come here!
Their traces lead east.
Let's go.
Tired?
You've gone batty already...
Who ever said I was tired?
How long has it been...
Know for how long we've been running together?
We were running back then as well.
But it wasn't side by side, was it?
Living on the run is a wretched nuisance anyway.
I feel sorry for you.
But is not chance part of our destiny as well?
We need to go.
They would have sent a whole army after us by now.
I wonder if we could have met as compeers, instead.
I'm not going to be friends with any slave.
You still think of me as a slave?
Anyone bound to this world of ours by something, you know?!
They're all slaves.
Remaining with Jjakgwi would have been much easier on you,
why even bother following us?
Tell me about it.
All this time,
I've been everywhere and done pretty much anything,
but there is a place where nobody wants to end up,
yet one I really want to go.
Where, Yicheon?!
Saenggeo Yicheon, Sahu Yongin*!
*Yicheon is great to live, Yongin the best place to die
It's Saenggeo Jincheon, Sahu Yongin*.
*Same meaning, with Jincheon replacing Yicheon
As I said...
Yicheon or Jincheon,
as long as Daegil Orabeoni is there, it'll be fine with me.
All right. Let's go there.
After we go there, Daegil will eventually come as well,
and then you'll manage by yourselves.
Eventually?!
He's not coming there?
He told us to meet there, so he'll come as well.
What is it?
I don't think Daegil Orabeoni is coming to Yicheon.
Uh?!
What are you trying to say?
We promised to meet there.
How could you believe a man's pledge?
Hey! Seolhwa!
I had this little hope I could embrace this child...
You really seem to like children.
Aigoo... Aigoo...
He's just so ridiculously cute...
Maybe that's the reason...
some people would even infiltrate someone else's hideout,
and try to take him away.
I feel reassured with you by our side.
Since you're Eonnyeon...
He had been looking for you for so long...
I just felt pity for him.
Living that way doesn't work out in most cases.
There is nothing as powerful as destiny can be.
Indeed, indeed, indeed...
We live by the card destiny puts in our hands.
Let's go!
Life is short, and so is the night!
Yes.
It was a mess the likes of which nobody has ever seen before.
This slave suddenly enters the palace gates,
and starts shooting everyone from chiefs to constables standing guard.
Then, Chief Oh?!
How could you let lowly vermin enter the palace?
Your Excellency.
It has nothing to do with us, why are you doing this?
Did he not slay his keeper and run away?
How negligent could your inspections have been,
if he managed to cause such a commotion in the middle of the day?
But we only inspected at night...
Shut that gob!
Keep acting like this with me, and you'll incur consequences!
Do you know how close His Excellency the Left State Councilor and I are?!
- Proceed! - Yes!
Your Excellency...
Then, well... Guess if he's lucky, they'll only force him into slavery.
What's this?
Seems like you're disappointed I'm here in Chief Oh's stead...
What are you saying? How could we?
Don't even mention it!
That Chief Oh or whatever he's called...
I wonder how many times he left you out and kept it all for himself,
it must have been a chore to endure.
Indeed, uh?!
Aigoo!
He was so insufferable, the likes of which nobody has ever seen before.
That's what I'm saying, uh?!
Let's have something to drink, shall we?
And a pair of chickens on top of that.
Ahh... Would a pair be enough, uh?!
I'll be damned...
What is he asking for, a feast or something?
He's even worse than Chief Oh.
Tell me about it.
Is it the morrow? We'll have to reach it via boat.
*waterway in southern Yongin
We'll take Anseongcheon* all the way to the sea.
If it's Anseongcheon, we'll have to change boats on the way.
We'll have to, since it's all boat until Ganghwa Island as well.
We must reach it by the morn, Anseongcheon.
I see you discount no detail whatsoever.
I've learned a lot from you.
Of course.
You should get on your knees and be grateful.
For all the things I taught you...
General.
What brings you here?
We escorted them.
It was a long journey.
Are you unscathed?
Hey! Jjakgwi Eonni!
Been a while.
Daegil!
Look... Look at how this crooked Eonni greets you...
Why? Payback for the errand?
Did your manners go on an excursion?
Sending your Eonni on errands.
Think of how nice it is.
Going out on an excursion, for once.
It's nice! Uh?!
Thank you for coming.
That's all?!
Not a man of many words, are we?!
The journey is long, so I will leave behind a debt of gratitude.
So that's all.
The shorter your tongue, the quicker you'll croak.
All right.
I'll take it as an advice.
I'll get going.
Won't you follow us?
What am I, crazy?
Why would I tag along?
Shouldn't you see us reach that place...
in all safety?
I wanted to show you that.
For I don't want to leave any more debts behind.
You still like making things complicated, don't you?!
Just take it as it comes, this wretched existence.
If you don't get dirty on purpose...
I trust you will be joining us there.
It's Anseongcheon.
Daegil.
Why don't you come live with me,
and spend the rest of your days up in the mountains?
Stay out there in this wretched world,
and you'll only get closer to the coffin.
I had this dream, you know?
This late brother of mine was smiling at me.
But why could he be smiling?!
Forget the world and Eonnyeon, and just follow me.
There's nothing else we could ask for over there, at least.
Quite the words of wisdom,
for someone who ran away terrified by the world out there.
How long do you think you'll last that way?
Avoid the rain and you'll fall into the water.
Think I'm avoiding the world out of fear?
It's because it disgusts me.
It's foul and disgusting, so we're living by ourselves.
Be it this or that,
I'll have to follow my path.
Indeed! Indeed, indeed...
Should you encounter any difficulties, deal with them yourself,
and if anything nice happens, let me know.
Hey, Jjakgwi Eonni.
Long life and prosperity.
At least until you croak. Uh?
I'm going.
Deranged fool...
If the world was so forgiving, think I'd keep hiding away?
Are we really going to Mount Geumgang?
We'll have to wait for Jjakgwi first to know.
But, Mother.
Must we really...
continue living on the run?
Still,
we at least get to live like human beings.
Jjakgwi Orabeoni!
Orabeoni...
What's with you, again?
And Daegil Orabeoni?
He's gone!
Gone? Where?
- To Yicheon? - Nah, to Anseongcheon.
Thank you, Orabeoni.
Move.
They cut all their tongues, didn't they?!
Traces spread towards Anseong and Janghowon.
So that means they met here, and parted ways again?
It indeed seems so.
Rumors are spreading on the streets, right?
About them taking fourteen-year-old girls along?
Yes.
What day is today?
The thirteenth day.
First battalion, head to Janghowon and block the way.
Second, take the path to Anseongcheon.
Yes!
The rest, follow me.
Daegil isn't coming?
We were contacted to come here ourselves.
That kind of smells?!
First he keeps saying he'll pay down to the last penny,
and look at him holding off to the last moment...
Seven hundred nyang.
Will you pay them back in his stead?
Pay back?! I'm owed money myself!
Look, look!
So Daegil Eonni left us huge debts and took off by himself?
Ahh... I knew this would happen!
I told you he kept fooling us all the way.
Shut that trap.
Was Daegil dealing with you?
Let's see...
A hundred majigi of farmland... He paid for it.
Money for General Choi's house near the fields, that's settled.
Wangson's house next door, settled as well.
As for Daegil's house and the tavern,
unless you pay for it in full, you're not getting anything.
And... And what is all this?
House and farmland?! What is she saying?
Daegil told me he had arranged it for us.
That he would buy us houses and farmland,
so that we could all live together.
And he could bring Eonnyeon.
Ahh... Why do you always keep me in the dark?
If you knew, you would have squandered it all.
Would any money be left?
Squander?! Why would I...
Ehh... You always keep things to yourselves.
Is there any comradery here?!
Should we not contact Hanyang first?
We are proceeding led by mutual trust, anyhow.
What if we end up missing each other on the way?
Let us talk somewhere else.
Allow me to take him for a while.
I met him.
Keunnom.
No...
Was it Kim Seonghwan?
My brother?
He said there's no more benevolence or affronts to pay back.
What happened to him?
We caused each other suffering.
Is he unscathed?
"So you must live in happiness."
That's what he said,
that brother of yours.
Young Master.
You needn't call me that now.
I'm not your Young Master anymore.
For joining us on our path, thank you.
Extending you my gratitude...
is something I wished to do.
Then, what shall I call you?
You needn't call me anything.
You know?
You know...
What led me to wander for so long...
was not my yearning for you.
I was merely in search of a runaway slave,
nothing more.
I know that.
So you knew...
I'll go ahead first and find you a boat,
so convey that...
To that man of yours.
Did you have a talk?
He said he'll go ahead first and find a boat.
Is that all?
Yes.
Don't you ever leave me alone again.
Meseems the Qing envoy's departure has brought quietude back to our shores.
It is all a result of my lack of virtue.
Do not say that, Father.
What is perturbing you?
Is anything the matter?
Father.
There is something I must daringly solicit.
Sure.
However, should it involve Seokgyeon,
don't even start.
It does involve him.
Did I not proclaim mentioning his name would amount to treason?
It is treason against me,
so would it not be conscionable for me to mention his name?
The Qing petitioned for his absolution.
Once you ascend to the throne, do it yourself.
And why can't you do it now?
For this...
is my history.
Charge!
Seobangnim...
Where did all your resolve go?
Did you not say our next meeting would spell my demise?
What changed you this way?
Curious?
No...
It is just pity.
I have no use for your pity.
Quite the pertinacious knave...
Didn't I tell you?
That I would witness your demise firsthand?
This is where it all ends.
Get going.
I could never do that.
Why could I have come here?!
Are you going to let them kill you and your spouse?
All you need to do is live in happiness.
Seobangnim...
Se...Seobangnim...
Seobangnim!
I'm fine.
I shall not leave you here alone.
Take him and leave.
Young Master...
You must survive and make a better world...
Only then will there be no more people like us.
Eonnyeon...
You must survive...
Only if you do...
I will go on living.
Leave now!
Young Master...
Once again, I leave you behind...
Don't ever forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Young Master, I'm sorry.
What is the reason you're doing all this?
That fool rescued me once.
Is that all?
He said he'd change it!
This wretched world of ours!
Even you...
Even you bring me misery.
You may resent this world,
but you shouldn't resent people.
Nice, isn't it?
Even if we only rid this world of people like you and me,
I'm sure...
it will be a better place.
Eonnyeon...
Eonnyeon.
Live in happiness.
Spend endless moons with that man of yours, and that child,
until the day we shall once again meet,
and you will tell me how your life was.
My Eonnyeon...
My...
beloved.
Are you all right?
What happened to Song Taeha?
Trail them!
Forget it.
I won.
Did you slay him?
It is all over.
Let us return.
Dear...
Don't speak if it's too hard...
My dear.
Will you follow my wishes?
Yes.
I shall not...
leave with you for Qing territory.
As you wish.
I am too indebted to this land of mine,
so I don't believe I could ever leave it.
I'm grateful to hear you say that.
Thank you, my dear.
For saying that.
I shall recover in no time.
Once I have recovered,
we must make a better world.
Hyewon.
Eonnyeon!
I shall make sure you will never have to use two names...
Orabeoni!
Orabeoni...
What are you doing here?
Orabeoni, I'm here.
Orabeoni...
Can you see me?
Prattling... Prattling...
Our Kiddo is here...
Why did you follow me, you wench?
How could I trust a man's promise?
You need to follow your own path.
Orabeoni.
Let's go home.
I'll cook for you,
launder...
I even made you some garments.
Take a look.
This is your name.
I now can read and even write.
I've even mastered the Cheonjamun.
the teaching of 1000 basic Chinese characters
When you're together with me,
you will no longer need to feel ashamed.
You wench...
Quite gifted, aren't we?!
What is love, anyway?
The world is filled with women,
and brimming with men.
I'm sorry...
Seolhwa.
Darkness surrounded me,
so I could not see your heart was beating for me.
Don't cry...
If you cry...
I'll really feel like I'm dying.
All right.
I won't cry.
I'm not going to.
On such a...
nice day,
why don't you...
sing me...
a song...
What should I sing you?
A ballad?
A tale?
I said what should I sing you!
"Take a look at me..."
"Take a look at me."
"Like glancing at wintry flowers,"
"Take a look at me."
"Who knew this would happen to me?"
"O love, my love, my beloved one."
"In death I will be reborn as a flower,"
"And you will become my butterfly."
"We will find a green valley, and spend an eternity there."
"Love, my love,"
"O, my beloved one."
