"Following the second Manchu invasion (1636)," "Crown Prince Sohyeon made his return to Joseon after eight years spent... as hostage of the Qing, and after incurring a mysterious illness, he passed away a mere month later." "Immediately following his death," "Crown Princess Kangbin would be embroiled in a conspiracy... which would eventually lead to her death by poisoning, while two of her three sons in exile to Jeju Island died of illness, and only the youngest, Seokgyeon, managed to survive." "The Crown Prince's death itself was clouded by suspicions of poisoning, and eventually became the spark igniting a bloody political struggle." "Half the populace had already fallen into slavery, and the number of runaway slaves trying to escape... from a life of punishment and mistreatment was on the rise, as was the number of bounty hunters on their trail." "Such men were known as..." "S L A V E ~*~ H U N T E R S" "~ Joseon" " Reign of King Injo ~ 26th year (1648)" "~ Near the Yalu River ~ (border with the Qing)" "How can it be so much?" "Didn't we agree fifteen nyang or so would suffice?" "Ehh Ehh!" "Think crossing the Yalu would be as easy as a stroll past the Han River?" "Three for crossing into Qing territory, fifteen for bribes to the frontier magistrates, and think I would be able to mastermind all this, running on thin air?" "For thirty nyang, we can start talking." "It's not that we don't want to pay you more." "We're giving you all we have, so consider our situation." "In the frenzy of running away, you might have not had the time, so I will give you another three days to find it." "Be it thievery or whatever else you see fit, bring me at least twenty nyang each." "Naeuri, they'll already be on our trail by now." "In three days, they'll surely catch us!" "As for that, it hardly concerns me." "Think you can just shrug me off like that?" "!" "I could pierce your dirty skull into oblivion, you know?" "So this runaway minion wants to see some blood now?" "!" "*Old Gangwon Province area, east of Daegwanllyeong Pass" "Are you looking down on a Gwandong* hunter?" "I abandoned every fear of death the moment I started hunting wild tigers." "So you think of demise first, when survival is awaiting out there?" "I doubt you'd even scare off scrawny wildcats with that fervor." "Don't waste your time here, and see if you can find anything by rummaging merchants' bundles." "Or if you have anything left to sell, go ahead." "Uh?" "!" "Unfold it." "One of them has thick cheeks, his eyebrows spread out along the edges." "A quick look at his mug, and it'll be obvious he won't listen." "That son of a swine..." "Another with broad shoulders, bantam nose, and a Gangwon Province inflection." "Also, a scraggly-faced woman carrying her young daughter." "Don't get nervous, folks." "I'm only here to catch runaway slaves." "No need to feel intimidated, so all the other merchants can just go on drinking." "Let's start." "One down." "Mother!" "Let's just die." "If slavery is all that's awaiting us, better to die free." "I don't want to die, Mother!" "Don't do it..." "In your next life, be blessed with two good parents, eat all the food you want, meet a nice groom and get married." "Listen, you." "Shouldn't harm that precious body of yours."

"At best, I might have unintentionally fondled it!" "Aigoo, if you still have all that energy now," "I don't even want to imagine what the glory days felt like." "Want energy?" "I'm still in my glory days down there." "Give it a try." "So how about it?" "Quite the lion, uh?" "Lion?" "Feels more like a wrinkly little cat to me." "Ahem!" "It's lust and lechery all over the place, all right!" "What brings you here, so early in the morning?" "Does a busy bureau officer like me know day from night?" "What is wrong with those mugs of yours?" "Are you scheming something?" "Ahh..." "Scheming?" "!" "Where else would you find such exemplary plebs around?" "Isn't that right?" "Indeed, indeed." "If only everyone else were like us!" "Your Excellency would finally tell day and night apart." " Sure, sure..." " The old leopard... can lose its fangs, but not its spots!" "I have my eyes on you, so don't go prancing around doing silly shenanigans." "Ahh..." "Where is my table?" "That's tight." "Eonni..." "No matter how you put it, is this a man's job?" "Uh?" "*sort of an archaic housemaid, making side dishes and other amenities" "Shouldn't we have a chanmo* doing all this for us?" "And I even got stabbed, uh?" "You've seen it yourselves, earlier." "I was stabbed, and you have me cook as well?" "How can there be no comradery here?" "It's always me!" "If I could only slice some meat." "And do I have to feed myself with wild greens?" "What am I, a calf or something?" "What is it?" "Naeuri..." "May I..." "May I importune you with a favor?" "No need to get sentimental." "It doesn't matter if I have to die, but could you not set my daughter free?" "Afraid not." "That poor young thing... will be forced to become bedfellows with a man past sixty." "What could she have ever done, to deserve a mother like myself, and such a nefarious existence?" "If you have any compassion, just once..." "Accord her your benevolence just this once." "I beg you." "I implore you to save her." "Ever heard of slave hunter Lee Dae Gil?" "Yes." "I sure have." "His eyes are crimson red, his teeth black as a beast." "He looks like a dhole who's been starving for ten days, and is the kind of lowbred who would gorge the night away... in a gisaeng's embrace, on the same day his parents died." "But Naeuri, you couldn't possibly compare with such vulgar beasts." " I beg you..." "May you..." " That'd be me." "What?" "The "vulgar beast" you've heard about." "Aigoo!" "Daegil!" "Safe and sound?" " And Your Excellency?" " All peace and prosperity!" "Why do they always look like you flogged them all the way here?" "They're slaves running for their lives, think they'd be all kempt and willing?" "Found a handful on the way, so I had to do some taming." "But they're unscathed, I trust?" "If you even only broke a limb or two, that would hurt the price for sure?" "!" "I'm Daegil, you know." "You sure are!" "Joseon's best slave hunter would never make such mistakes." "I laud your efforts." "Fifty nyang for the trouble." "Let's not try to use that gray matter over there when it doesn't even work, and add another thirty nyang to the plate." "Ohh Ohh!" "Listen to that!" "Is slave hunting some kind of official post... you can pester me with, as if you were entitled to a fixed salary?" "Just be content with that, and enjoy some deserved rest." "Here..." "Hey..." "Daegil." "Do I need to get my hands dirty?" "Uh?" "What do you prefer, a little hole over here, or giving me my money?" " Your call." " Ahh..." "You really..." "Want to spoil all this merriment for a few paltry slaves?" "You might think catching paltry slaves is all our trade entails to, but in the grand scheme of things, we help restore public order and discipline." "Both Your Excellency and us, aren't we all serving the same cause, after all?" "But look at this, isn't arguing over a mere thirty nyang a little excessive?" "What do you think?" "Think you're the only slave hunter who's asking for work?" "There are lines of people who'd kill for your job!" "As if you'd be the only officer in the bureau looking for slaves?" "There are lines of officers and yangban out there asking for us." "So, let's see the money." "Aigoo..." "Be damned the day you were born..." "Happy now?" "You son of a wench!" "You sell people for a dozen nyang?" "One day, I'll shoot a hole in that dirty skull of yours." "Go ahead and try." "I'm waiting." "And that is why they treat slaves like you... worse than beasts." "Sit down, you fool!" "Damn it, I thought he was going after me." " Make a spectacle, will you?" " Ahh..." "Right!" "That Eonnyeon you were looking for." "Did you... find her?" "Ahh..." "I didn't." "But this superior I was under... was just promoted to magistrate and is on his way to Gyeongsang Province, should I ask him to help you out?" " Will you do that for me?" " Sure will!" "Sure would like to, but I'd also need..." "I guess that'd work?" "!" "You know..." " How about thirty nyang?" " Since it's you, well, let's just pretend we're even." "Thirty nyang..." "Would fifty nyang make it easier?" "Ahh..." "I'm helping you out of our deep and long-lasting friendship, is money really the issue here?" " So I guess it will take a hundred nyang." " Ohh Ohh!" "You really..." "I will take it, if anything out of courtesy for your earnest zeal." "Hey, hey!" "Fifty upfront, the rest when the deal is done." "You have a month." "Let's follow market rules." "Take care." "Aigoo..." "I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire!" "Ehh!" "You fool!" "Walk straight, you fools!" "You won't listen, will you?" "I said get moving!" "Move!" "Hurry up and move!" "One, two, three..." "How much money are six runaway slaves worth?" "Eonni." "Wasn't this slave hunting thing our trade?" "But now Daegil is all over it." "I wipe the street clean for a year, and that crazy bitch spoils it in a day." "Shouldn't we have a ritual against them or something?" "We'll have to strip him dry and show who's running this ship." "So the bitch will stop coming here."

"You!" "Do that again, and I'll make you feel sorry for real!" "Got it?" "Forgive me..." "Wipe all the horse shit here, and I want to see those saddles shine enough to make flies fall flat on their asses." "Got it?" "Here you are." "Aigoo, that saddle is too old." "How can you ride this?" "You can get a new one for a nyang or so." "Just groom it a little." "Want me to change the bridles?" "I'll give you a discount." "Comb it while you're at it." "Make it pretty." "You motherless tightwad..." "Follow me, silly." "Aigoo..." "What's with you?" "Always come in like a thief, will you?" "Did you boil these for me, Jumo?" "Aigoo!" "You hopeless little fool." "Aigoo..." "You scared me to death..." "I cook, launder, wash dishes and even sew." "What did I do to deserve all this?" "Ahh..." "Forget it!" "Eonni." "Why don't we get a seamstress like the others?" "Why don't you tell him?" "Daegil Eonni won't listen to me, but if you tell him, he might." "All right, just finish the laundry." "Aigoo... really." "This is the last day I'm doing this." "From now on, we'll start sharing chores." "I'm back." "Eonni!" "And the deal?" "How did it go?" "Got screwed." "How's the wound?" "Screwed, again?"

"Is this the first time I get stabbed?" "We don't even know if we'll make it through the next job, want me to think about houses and land?" "There isn't much to life." "You have fun until it lasts, and then you get old and croak." "Let's do what he says." "We had a long trip and he was even stabbed." "Now you start as well?" "Why, are we doing this to save money, or to spend it?" "We've made it through this, so let's relax and have some fun." "Just add another five nyang each." "All right, fine." "One nyang each, just one." "Forget it." "At least three." "Two nyang." "Two." "If you don't want to, forget it." "Eonni, you really..." "You better take care of this."
