"HONG KIL-DONG THE AVENGER WITH A FLUTE" "Don't you have a clue what this it?" "It can't be!" "We'll see." "Show yourself!" "Who are you?" "Speak up!" "They call me Hong Kil-dong, Avenger with a flute, did you understand?" " You, as a highest official in the province." " I am sorry for that." "I know that a nobleman can have a concubine too..." "And as a member of the noble dynasty Ri, ruler of the province, you could choose a woman from the highest noble families." "However, entangling with a common maid..." "What a disgrace." "Come here." "Great, you can do it." ""People shall arise to break strong rocks of Mt." "Baekdusan apart by their sword."" ""Horses shall drink all the water of Geumgang river."" ""Shall he amend this world anew, he will be called a hero."" "Excellent." "As a form of respect and gratitude, you can cut off your plait... and knit a shoe from it for your generous father." "Yes." " Excuse me." " Yes?" "Teacher, I'm not going to do that." "Why not?" "As Confucius said:" "Your body was made over to you by your parents." "So that you cannot neither from love touch it or harm it." "This is the foundation of respect." "When have you learned these things?" "You speak more wisely than Confucius' interpreter himself." "I'm really astonished." "Tell me, where have you learned such wisdom?" "Kil-dong knows this teaching for a long time." "Since his 4, he mastered Teaching of True Wisdom." "Oh, I am really astonished." "You can't catch me!" "I got you." "Ride me on, now." "Gee-gee, you little horse." "Hoop-la, we're down." " Can you reach it?" " Just a little bit." " Sprawl out." " Wait, don't move." "Hurry." "Got it." " Gather more of them" " Yeah." "So that we both have enough." "I'll take this." " Madam, look at this, it's terrible." " These are better..." "It's terrible." "Brother, hang on a while." "How dare you, bastard?" "Mangy concubine's boy presumes to call his master a brother." "Who let you address my son this way." " Mother, he is my brother." " You're too young to make the difference." " Go change your clothes young master" " Yes, madam." "Young master, I'll give you a lift." "At once, madam." "Remember, you may never address young master a brother... and Lord Hong a father." "Why is that?" "Talking back again?" "I am sorry, madam." "It's your fault, always plead for him." "That's why he's so impudent and wayward." "I beg your pardon, madam." "Mum, what have I done?" "Why do you lower so much?" "Better be quiet, sonny." "Do I have to be quiet?" "I'm beaten when I'm calling my brother a brother and father a father." "It hurts." "Why are they insulting me so much?" "You have no idea how much it is tormenting me." "How shall I face it out?" "Oh my god." "Step aside!" "Make room!" "Make room for a noble official." "I have to rent a new house." "New house?" "Yes, they both must move to a new house, otherwise it won't work." "Oh, you did a wise decision, my Lord." "Step aside!" "Make room!" "Don't get in the way of a high officer." "I am ready to listen." "My lord, I feel down for my news won't be happy." "Inhabitants aren't putting in farming, because local government is pushing them... forcing them to other duties, and take possession of their property." "Is that the way it is?" "Yes, indeed." "My Lord," "I am listening with sorrow how noble mr." "Hong's insults your kindness... for what he's telling are just lies." "Inhabitants of the province are well-being because Your Highness' care." "How can he even tell these dirty defamations." "He even claimed there are bandits rampaging in the Pyongyang province." "It is surely misinformation." "It is a truth." "Why don't you tell the truth Mr. Rim?" "It is your task." "Why don't you tell the truth?" "It's enough!" "I have entrusted you with the highest authority to represent me." "And you are barking at each other like mad dogs." "We apologize with all our soul." "We must get rid of those rampaging bandits as soon as possible." "According to a decision of the Deputy Council of State mr." "Rim." "Lord Hong, you are due to go there." "Me?" "Really?" "Oh no, what a horror." "It is because of Rim." "We have been interfering in Seoul... so that he want to drive me away to Pyongyang." "How can you fight against the bandits?" "Oh, I fear for you so much." "Mum, I know it is terrible, but we must go with dad." "Certainly, I wish I had gone too my dear son, if it would have been possible." "But who would take care of the homestead?" "Father will come back after three years." "Oh no, why must you leave Seoul, my master?" "Has something serious happened?" "It is an order." "I rented a house for you, you will move as soon as possible." "Do it for my sake." "Yes." "Trust me, your life would be very difficult after my departure." "My Lord, you are going away for a long time... and so far away, you can't be alone." "I'm going with you." "I would take care of you if you allow me to." "You are kind." "My wife is afraid of bandits, she won't go with me... but you, you are kind-hearted." "Consider it done." "Madam." "Have you arranged it?" "Watch out now, it will be a difficult path." "You must be careful." "Thank you." " Let's go" " Yes, let's go" "Boss, he's already here." "They are going up." "Come on, let's go." " Honey." " Mum, who is this?" "The whole luggage is on the donkey." "We'll take it, and your life into the bargain." "Come on, honey." "No, no." "Wait, it's pity to kill such a woman, isn't it?" "Hey, we made a deal." "Why can't we take a pretty lady?" "We have a lot of time." "What's the matter?" "What deal?" "None of your business." "Do what I'm ordering!" "Why do you harm my mum!" "?" "You brat!" "Sonny, don't be scared." "You..." "What a stupid world." "Killing by this worthless weapon." "What a foolishness." "What're you doing?" "Who're you?" "Answer me!" "I'm old man Mu-on, for your information." "Why do you meddle in our affairs?" "It's not your concern, is it?" "It is my concern, nosey-parker." "She's my daughter and he's my grandson." "What!" "I'm sorry boy, I'm little late I know." " Sonny, my child." " Mum." "Let's go home now." "Hold tight, boy" "Come on, get after him." "Go ahead, I'll catch you up." "Wait for us, old geezer." "We'll show you." "What's this?" "Dart him!" "What are you waiting for?" "Can't you shoot?" "Hurry." "Mum, I going there." "Sonny, don't!" "Do you hear me!" "?" "Brother, I can't move." "What happened to us?" "I feel like turned to stone, too." "You won't move until you'll have rejected all wrongdoings." " What is it like with us..." " It's impossible..." "It is only up to you now." "Have a nice day." "Brother, how do we sort this out?" "Help me, please." "So, what do you think about it?" "My granddad." "My son..." "Please forgive him, grandfather." "Look at that, what are they doing?" "What do you think it may be?" "Are they dead?" "Oh, no, they are just in an entrapment of the sun-beams, they'll be themselves soon." "Don't be afraid, better go with your mother." "Don't worry." "Dear grandfather, thank you so much." "Say your thanks and bow to your grandfather." "Where are you going?" " Come to me." " Mum, they're really unable to move." "We must get going, come on." " Please, forgive us." " I beg you, teach me this." "Boy, you may not speak like this." "Please forgive us, he's just a child." "I want to be as powerful." "They won't humiliate me anymore." "Grandfather, would you teach me please?" "Higher, good..." "Stretch your leg." "It's cold." "Grandfather, I'm very tired." "Grandfather?" "Teacher, I'm tired." "Go on, let's continue." "What's the matter?" "Teacher, it isn't already diverting me." " Really?" " The tree stands still." "I see, let's try it with something moving then." "Here you go, catch him carefully." "Wait!" "Here you are!" "Stop!" "Hold the staff properly, with both hands." "I know." "You sleeping?" "Whatever, come on you nipper." "It's a flute." "Oh, my teacher." "If you really want to master the art of Taoism..." "You must sensitively perceive tones." "Therefore you are going to learn to play the flute." "Teacher, I'm so grateful to you." "Is this the art of Taoism?" " Try to jump it over." " Yes." "Teacher, it isn't difficult." "Of course." "Fasten to your legs these things, now." "Take it." "Teacher, what is it?" "These are iron strain belts." "Teacher, it's too heavy." "Try it then." "What's wrong with you?" "You were jumping like a goat." "It's not good, you will get another task tomorrow." "You must practise it." "It's better now, isn't it?" " Yes, you can take it down." " Really, can I?" "Too bad." "I'm carrying delicious meals and fine beverages..." "Oh, you're going to enjoy it." "Bon appétit gentlemen, good digestion." " Leaving so soon?" " Thank you for your meals." "Have a pleasant journey, nice weather will be." "Come again." "Listen, how much they said we'd get for it." "You can bet it'll be enough for us to live in wealth until the end of our lives." "Yeah, did ya hear it?" "Wealth until the end of our lives." "Boss, it means that there is pretty valuable stuff in the bag..." "Gentlemen, a brandy for you." "Looks good." "Brother, we'll give up this business, after it." "What do you think?" "Yeah, sure." "Let's touch glasses." "Cheers." "Who may that be?" "Welcome boy, you haven't been here for a while." " Good afternoon." " Good afternoon." "I'll take as usual." "Yes, as usual." "I get it." "What a nice quarry." "How is your grandfather?" "He's fine, though having his brandy he's more cheerful." "I'll fill it up at once." "Hey, bring us the brandy." "Come on, hurry up." "Yes, I'll bring it at once." "Eat it boy, I'll be right back." "I'm coming." "Here you are, sorry for delay." "You must celebrate something... you're drinking more than usual." "Am I not right?" "Old geezer, it's none of your business." "Oh, don't mind me." " Innkeeper, who's that?" " Who?" "The guy over there." "The young man?" "He's living far in the forest." "He brings me quarry." "Boars, deer, roes, elks." "Everything he runs into." "Imagine, he had caught a great bear and changed it for a brandy, recently." " What are you saying?" " Yeah, his grandfather likes brandy and I have fresh meat" "So just eat and drink, there is enough." " I wish you bon appétit." " Yeah, thanks." "I'm sorry you had to wait for me." "I'll do it immediatly." " Take this, and this is for your grandfather." " Uncle, thank you." "Good luck." "Hey, wait." "Come on, get closer." "You don't seem to be a tough guy, do you?" "What do you think?" "Such a weakling." "How could he hunt down a bear?" "He didn't hunt down any bear, he just stole it, you know." "Well then, good bye, I've to get going." "What?" "Get him!" "You don't want to kill me, do you?" "No, it was just joke." "Just a joke?" "I've never seen joking this way." "Jump down." "I don't want to." "You can be a rich man." "You'll get wealth." "Wealth?" "What is the deal?" "Friend, you should better join us, you're not gonna live forever in the forest." "You'll be better with us, come on." "What's with you?" "I'm not going to be a bandit like you." "Who's the bandit?" "How do you know we're bandits?" "Remember how you got the scar on your hand." "Could it be him?" "So, you recon." "We recon, so you're gonna die!" "Don't let him escape." "I'm gonna get you." "Boss, do you hear me?" "Noway." "Chuk-che" " What happened?" " He's killed your brother." "You villain, you're gonna pay for this!" "It's enough, let him be." "We'll get him later." "Let's go, quickly." "Dear boy, are you alright?" "They left a bag here." "Let's see what is inside." "What you think?" "It might be precious thing." "We shall see." "Untie it." "I'd like to know what it is." "Good heaven, this girl is from a rich family." "Cheer, she has awaken." "Auntie." "What is it, has the girl come to herself?" "Here, you are." "You must drink it." "Yes, just drink." "It will make you feel good." "I'm so grateful to you." "It's alright." "Girlie, who are you?" "My name is Yeon-hwa." "I'm daughter of mr." "Rim, Deputy Council of State." "I'll drink it at once." "Is he a son of Lord Hong?" "Wait, it's my turn now." "Now!" "What's wrong with you?" "You're distracted." "Is that so?" "I'll take care." "May I try it, please?" "Girlie, rather not." "But I do want it, let me try it please." "Now it's my round again." "Mother." " It's hot." " What is it?" "Haven't you burnt yourself?" "It's alright." "It's really alright." "Because of the contact of a woman, you're losing discretion and calmness!" "No, it's not that, teacher." "Ingrate, get lost from my sight." "No, please." "Push away that girl." "You can sing her about your true love." "You are a fool." "Teacher." "You want to master wisdom of Taoism, but seeing a woman makes you lost." "Never show yourself in front of my eyes." "Forgive me." "Can you free yourself of emotional enjoyment and focus all your will?" "Yes, teacher I swear." "I'm asking you to fulfil your promise." "Yes, teacher, I can do it." "Where are we going?" "Take a look, there is doe." "What a surprise, you're even bringing a girl with you today." "Uncle." "Take her to the administrative agency, she must get safe to Seoul." "No." "Master." "I want to stay with you." "Go." "Master" "Wait." "Madam, the young lady has returned." "What are you saying?" "Madam, come on." "Oh, god, this is our daughter." "Husband, come on now." " Mother." " My child, where were you?" "What happened?" "Daughter, bow to your father." "Father." "My daughter." "What, you want your daughter to marry my son Kil-dong?" "Yes, your son saved my daughter's life, therefore I beg you to incline your ear." "It is a heart-whole desire." "It's a real miracle." "We thought he'd expired." "Everything occurs according to Heaven's will." "We both willingly forget about all the quarrels between us." "Yes, we do." " My son." " Yes father." "What do you command?" " Son, Kil-dong and his mother are alive." " How come, Kil-dong is alive?" " Are you absolutely sure?" " Of course." "So they both are alive." "Kil-dong, it's yours." "I've taught you everything I could." "Now, you are to go between people." "What shall I do between them?" "Tell me teacher." " What about the art of Taoism?" " The art of Taoism?" "When I saw you first time, you had tamed bunch of bandits without blood shed." "Teacher, I can't still forget about it." "You have to find a weak point, that's all." "Yes." "The art of Taoism is simple." "It consists of interaction of will, power of spirit and the body." "I have passed on you all of this." "I have taught you all of this." "Remember." "You can use it only to defence homeland against invaders... and to defend your folk." "Otherwise you're not allowed to use it." "I swear so." "Teacher, I wish you longevity." "Boy, I know." "Thank you." "May the fortune be with you." "Good bye, teacher." " How about to visit father?" "Just let him know." " No, I can't go there." "Do you know how they would treat me?" "The life, you were humiliated can't be back again." "We'll live comfortably and I'm going to make you happy." "You are very kind." "Mother." "What is it?" "I'd like to say thanks to the innkeeper." "It's up to you." "Who may that be?" "You have pleased me so much." "Come up, a good friend is waiting for you." "What shall we do?" "What are you waiting for?" "Am I not dreaming?" " Uncle, is that you?" " Yes, I am." "We thought you both would be dead." "My, you have grown, Il-hyon your brother is here too." "What?" "This is Kil-dong" "He has grown up, I can't even recognize him." "Would you get up?" "You're still mother of my beloved brother." "Kil-dong." "Il-hyon." "Dear brother, welcome." "Madam, a terrible disaster occurred." "What's going on?" "Kil-dong and his mother have returned." "Impossible, it's a lie." "Madam." "You have really returned alive and healthy." "Praised be Heaven." "Make yourself comfortable." "Thank you." " Son." " Huh." "Ten years has passed, so many sorrows have we experienced." "I think you know it pretty well." "Son of Lord Hong and my daughter want to get married." "I wish you to arrange that as fast as possible." "With pleasure." "but I overheard that Kil-dong is a bastard of Lord Hong." " Is that so?" " My Lord, yes it is." "What a disgrace for our house." " That's what I overheard." " Our deal is to be cancelled." "Young lady, did you know your mother had bidden for a matchmaker?" "What for a matchmaker?" "You must know it better, just don't make yourself." "Oh, no." "Papa." "Listen carefully, we must cancel your engagement with Kil-dong." "Oh, no." "My child, Kil-dong is son of a common woman." "Man of such a low class may not marry you." "We mustn't do that to him." "Young lady." "He's not from a noble house, forget him my child." "We will find a better fiancé for you." "Young master Pak is good match, isn't he?" "No, mother, I don't care whether he's rich or poor." "I'll marry him, he saved my life." "What?" "It's true, Kil-dong saved my life." "Saved your life..." "what a ninny you are." "How can such a dullard walk on earth?" "I'm not going to marry other man." "I'll rather kill myself." "How had this obliquity crossed your mind." "What a disgrace in our noble quarters." "Father." "They say we must love those... who saved our lives." "Do you know that?" "Even if they were poor and hunchbacked." "Commoner is no match even with hunchbacked nobleman." "You are a bad daughter." "I'm really happy, then show me something from your Taoist's art." "When the time will come." "Lord Rim visited me to arrange the wedding." "Thanks to you, he bowed down in front of me." "My son saved life to his daughter." "Mr Rim is very grateful." "Lord Hong, excuse me." "What is the matter?" "Lady is asking if you don't mind coming to her at once." " All right..." " Lady said it was urgent." "Why don't you let me be?" "I told you I would come." "As you command." "Should you consider your health as it's so late." "I did a good turn to my health." "I had a lot of fun with them." " Mother, good night." " Thank you, good night to you." "You should have known sitting up doesn't stand in good for Lord." "Do you want him to get killed?" "No, I don't." "I see, you're talking back." "Have you forgotten about good manners?" "Madam, what are you talking about?" "This is the answer of a maid?" "Chuck, you've run wild." "There's a riot in your room every night, a noise which is heard down in the streets." "May that happens once again and I'll have you driven out." "I shouldn't have come back." "Mother, we just can't live in this humiliation." "Go, faster!" "It was a beautiful ride." "I've been riding a horse long time, since I start working for the military intendancy but this was just like a flight." "As if the horse have had wings, it's really amazing, huh?" "Kil-dong, what's wrong?" " You're completely different." " What would it be like?" " Father, we are back." " Read this." "Yes." "Lord Rim has cancelled the engagement." "What for?" "What?" "His daughter is desperate, she wants to take her life." "It's terrible, we must do something." "May the scourge has occurred, we'll be affected as well." "Do you want to pay this price to get somewhere you don't belong in?" "What are you jabbering about?" "Rim is powerful, he'll destroy the house of Hong." "Kil-dong, is that you?" "Yes, that is me." "Are you marvelling the beauty of the Moon?" "My lord, I mustn't look so high." "I can't even call you a father." "I can't call my brother a brother." "I'm not allowed to marry a woman that I love." "How can I be respected?" "Don't be angry at me, but why did you invite me?" "I'm utterly the unneeded one." "Because of me, a woman wants to take her life." "I'll have never be forgiven my filiation." "My mother should've married a man of her state and I'd placidly serve as a slave." "Perhaps it would be more dignified than this." "Please, trust me, you don't have any idea what humiliation is..." "I had to go through with my mother." "It's enough." "As you command." "Madam." "He's already here." "Anyone seen him?" "Nobody, you rely on it." "He can't get away from him now." "You can be easy." "He even didn't take the money, said he must punish his brother." "Here you are." "Keep it." " Thank you very much." " Mother!" " Mother" " What's wrong?" "How can you be so cruel?" "I know what you are up to." "My son?" "Sonny!" "Kil-dong, watch out!" " It's you." " Kil-dong, are you OK?" " Brother." " D'ya remember me?" "You killed my brother, and I swore to avenge one day." "It was you who attacked me." "We have overheard here something." "If you don't set me free, you'll get into trouble." "What?" "Kil-dong, set him free." "Why?" "What're you saying?" "I beg you, till the people won't get here." "One way or another, mother will be always a mother" "What does that mean?" "He's right, it's my mother's wrongdoing." "Someone's here, let's have a look." "Get lost!" "If I trip you up again I'm going to kill you." "Master, we've heard some noise, is anything wrong?" "Nothing at all, you're dismissed." " Just go." " Yes, good night." "I know she's cruel but she's my mother." "Forgive her, if you can." "Brother... take care of my mother." "What's the matter?" "Because I have to leave." "Kil-dong, I understand, your mother will be fine." " Brother." " Good luck." "My master." "I'm leaving for a long journey to find justice." "They say you want to take your life." "What a fondness." "Take care of yourself and wait for me." "When I find true, I'll be back to you." "Wait for me." "My master." "Mummy, mummy." "What happened?" "They have beaten our mummy." "Auntie." "Thieves took everything from us." "How will we survive?" "We will die from starvation." "How so?" "Thieves in broad day?" "They've been ambushing and robbing us everyday." "Look, those dreadful thieves, they are over there." " Please, spare us." " Geezer, let go of me." "Hey, you two." "What do you want?" "I've heard there are thieves rampaging in this village." "Thieves?" "Where?" "Where have you heard about it?" "Your duty is to defend the people." "They are those thieves!" "Don't be afraid." "One of my hand is still loose." "I'll show you." "My hand, set me free." "Does it hurt?" "Nobody harms you, your hand is loose." "Why do you hit me?" "I'll show you." "Enough." "What did you just say?" "We're going." " Just go home, here you are." " Thank you." "Brave man, where are you heading to?" "Why do you ask?" "You have whisked away those soldiers." "However, I'm afraid of the village." "The rogues are capable of anything." "They'll wait and then take revenge on them twice more." "You must be mistaken." "Every officer is not a rogue." "The officers are local squires, They just take care of their wealth." "Bet on my words, they'll take revenge on those poors." "Officer." " What's up?" " The man is a real devil, watch eye." "There's nobody that courageous in the village." "Watch how my face is beaten black and blue." "All the villagers are gonna fight in no time." "It wasn't me, really." "You crumb, how can you dare?" " It wasn't me." " You shut up, who did it?" "Look over there, it's him." "Officer, the ruffian over there was doing it." " You guy, get down." " No way." "You guys, get up." "Come on..." "What?" "Fetter him, quick!" "We'll you throw you down like a pear." "Come on, faster..." "What's with you?" "Come on." "What are you waiting for?" "Get him down." "Come on, just a little bit." " I'm almost there." " Come on..." "Officer, he's like a monkey." " He's gone again." " Come on, catch him." "Do you think you'll catch me?" "You must be faster." " You ruffian." " Come on..." "Here I am, come on, follow me" " See, gone again, he's fooling us." " We're gonna catch him." "We don't have any soldiers left." "Never mind, let's do it along." "Get after him...." "Look, he's over there." "Now, we're gonna beat him up." "It hurts..." "He didn't say a word." " My Lord, It seems he has fainted." " He's really stubborn." "My Lord, we've brought his wife and children." "What shall we do with them?" "What do you command?" " Summon them, at once." " As you command." "Rogue, won't you speak, will you?" "So take a look." "Take a look!" "Let go of us, please." "Somebody help." "Alright, start." "Help, don't take my child." "What are you going to do to my son!" "?" "Bewray everything, save our child." "Wak Chun-sik is hiding in the gap." "Be merciful at least to my child." "Well." "You have promised to spare my child's life." "My little son, don't shoot!" "Don't shoot!" "Who are you?" "Speak up." "Can't you speak?" "Get him, stop him." "You get lost." "The young man asked us to wait for him... but he didn't say how long we'd be waiting?" " That's true" " I didn't trust him at first too, but he's right." "Villagers, hurry up." "We don't have much time, take away the rice." "Come on, don't stay like frozen solid." "Why is it so quiet here?" "What a strong man, he has bested them all." "This is the right time, let's get the bags with rice." "Scoundrel, you deserve it." "We thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts." "The rice will save us from the starvation." "Our governor is a cruel and unrighteous man." "But he's an educated and gentle nobleman." "Every nobleman is the same that's why we have uprised." "We're rioting against the oppression of the nobles and the cruel world." "I was living in the mountain, I knew nothing about this world" "You have no idea of how many people left this region... to avoid torts and violence from the highest official." "He stopped at nothing Hero, punish him." "We shall see." "Poor people, the villager was right." "I don't want, keep it." "Both of you begone." "I've got new ones." "This way." " Come on, show your face." " No, I don't." " How about you?" " Put your hands off." "How dare you?" "I have paid for you, you're my property." "And if you don't obey me..." "I will slug it out with your parents." "You'll belong to me until your death." "Is it clear?" "What's the strange noise?" "How dare you?" "What are you doing here?" "Impudent man, who invited you?" "The villagers are starving... and you're surfeiting your belly here." "You take their daughter as if they were your property." " You will be punished for this." " Mercy, mercy..." "Alright, but you will give out all the rice from your storehouse to the villagers." "If you're not to obey me you'll be beheaded." "I won't hold back, this time." " What're you saying?" " Of course...." "What a nice white rice." "Maybe has the scoundrel started repentancing." "'Tis strange, we'll have to thank him." " Don't wag your tongues, be glad." " We're glad..." "Thank to the Avenger with a flute." " Who's that Avenger with a flute?" " He's sticking up for poor people." "Really, does he?" "Hey, people, throw away the bags and get lost" "Bandits, run for it..." "Leave the bags and get off." "It went swimmingly, we just told them to leave the bags." " OK, let's share it" " Yes leader." "Can you hear it?" "Who are you?" "Since you're ambushing people like wild beasts." "The Avanger with a flute will punish you all." "We have to fetter him." "Get him." " So, you are still robbing." " Tell me, who are you?" "Do you remember my warning?" "That I will kill you if I trip you up." "Hong Kil-dong." "How could you become the Avanger with a flute." "I left my home the day you had tried to kill me" "I got to know how awful is the order of this world." "So, kill me now." "When my brother died, nothing remained to me."

"What does it mean?" "Who are you?" "Oh, my god." "What are you doing here?" "Kid, what's the big idea playing the flute here." "Give me it by fair means." "Now, get lost you brat." "Did you hear me?" "I don't want to see you here, no matter what." "Yes." "I have grown older a ten years." "Let's have a drink." "Do you like it?" "Who is that?"

"He made my heart happy." "When he plays the flute, rich men are fainting." "Let them faint, poor people are getting rice they have never eaten." "That's what I'm for, the rich men have the jitters now." "That's right, they're hiding like rats." " They say, he's quite a young man." " Is that so?"

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to tell you about that." "Forgive me, I know you are so troubled." "Wait, what did you say?" "That's terrible." "Auntie." "Auntie, why are you doing it?" "This isn't work for you, is it?" "Your son impose on me taking care about you." "Your mother ordered it." "Maid, maid..." "Where could she vanish?" "Why do whooping here?" "Mother, why do treat aunt like this?" "Don't you feel sorry for her?" "This work is for maid." " Master, did you call upon me." " Yes, here's a work, do it." "Will you do it!" "?" " Wait, she must bring a tailor to my room." " Yes madam." "What's all of sudden she must go for a tailor?" "Make sure you're finished as soon as possible." "You are to wash dishes and then ironing." "Dumb head, what are you waiting for." "I'm going mad from you." "Auntie." "So, it's this way." " My poor mother." " I feel very sorry for her." "But I got to know another thing." "Unknown Black Devils have appeared around here lately." "They're carrying like madmen, destroying everything they run into." "What?" "Ruffians, they're killing at every turn and kidnapping young women too." "People are asking what is the Avenger with flute doing." "You're saying unknown Black Devils?" "Chuk-che, thank you for coming to me." "I'm really grateful to you." "It's me to thank, these are my new steps on the new path." "I'll be your loyal servant forever." "I don't know...."

"Where were you flaning?" "How come the robbers got as far as to me?" "We beg your pardon." "Valuable golden chest which was handed down in my royal house has gone." "Its true price can't be evaluated." "The robbery is unforgivable enormity." "Don't come to me until you catch the robbers." "Lord, as you command." "Father, this enormity could make only the Black Devils" "Yes, they did." "I've heard they are very vile and treacherous." "Yes, they are." "However, until I find the golden chest I can't step into the royal palace." "Father, I will find it." " Please, rely on me." " My son?" "Yes." "What does it mean?" "A gang of Black Shadows?" "Yes, took away all your possession." "What shall we do?" "Yeon-wa and maid are missing." "What?" "Those villains have kidnapped my daughter." "Scoundrels." " Did you find their camp?" " Not yet." "We had been tracing them but they suddenly got lost." " As if they sunk in to the ground." " Really?" "Nonsense, they couldn't all disappear." "He had to be scared that he saw things." "I saw it." "I saw it by my eyeball." "It would mean they know the Taoism." "What, a Taoism?" "What a mystery, if there were in our country... one another Taoist, I'd know about that." "We're roaming about the nights for nothing." "Those Devils are invisible." "They're able to fly away." "without a trace." "They say, they're of the hell's service." "Excuse me, they were at the inn yesterday, people were chasing them, but in vain." "They dissolved in the wisps of fog." "They robber like this every night, they are evasive." "We must find them, otherwise... otherwise we can't go back home." "This is our duty?" "As you command." "There, they are!" "Let's catch them!" "Wait, watch out..."

"They stole their possession and in the end their daughter too." "They're bandits, barbarians who came here by the sea." "We have to unite as fast as possible." "We have to call for help of our bandits and rebels." "You are right." "I'll do what I can." "Deliver message to the leaders of the bands from the eight provinces... to find a hideaway of the Black Shadows." "Yes, sir." "Chuk-che, tell the rebels to find where the Black Shadows are camping." "Yes, I'll handle this." " I don't know why they set watch here." " It's our commander's order, we must do it" " You're always objecting" " If it were a travelled place, I wouldn't wonder." "Those were the Black Devils." "Come on, hurry up." "Lie up." "Can you see that?" "Wait." "We have found out, they made it here." "Then, they went on by this path." "They had a carriage." "They couldn't get much far way off for they had carried a heavy load." " Did you verify it?" " Yes we're sure of it." "Of course, we set watches to these places." "Sung-dol went there, we've been awaiting him." "This is strange." "A pinewood." "Let's go, nobody's there." "There's an inn, can you see that?" "Mother, don't you have something to eat?" "Welcome men, nobody's been here for a long time." "I'll be happy to offer you meal." "I hope you'll like it." " Here you are." " We'd love to try." "Aren't you afraid here as lonely woman?" "Noway, how have you found it out." "How about last night?" "Any uproar here?" "Has something happened here?" "What was going to happen?" "It was quiet here." "Oh I see, is this horse over there yours?" "No, it's not our horse." "Don't you know how long does the horse stay here?" "I'm not sure, one usually doesn't notice these things... but it's going to be a long time." "A long time?" "Listen, you saw the carriage, so you would recognize it, wouldn't you?" "Uh-huh." "Wait a minute." "There's some kind of trick here." "We shall pay." "How much is it?" " Don't you want to go, do you." " Yeah, we have something to do." "You were the old hag." "You're smart when you've exposed me." "Scoundrel, go down." "Scoundrels." "Run away, tell it to the master." " Someone must report." " You won't make it alone." " It's an order, run." " Gotcha!" "Master, you have killed them all." "No, there are two left." "It's not possible." "Don't talk, you have to find them." "Yes, master." "Come on, serve out." "What a good job, what do you think." "It must be a racket in the palace." " Quick action, take and vanish" " I wouldn't push it too far." "Hey buddy, nobody's gonna get us." "Yeah, nobody's gonna get us." "What's wrong Ji-ji." "Have you lost your mood?" "No, I've been thinking about the second action, it was even better." "So many girls, let's drink." "Here's to you guys." "Here's to you." "I'm gonna see the girls." "What beauties we have." "I would take one straight off." "Forget it." "They're really devils." "Just wait, you'll get one on the ship." "Watch out." "Our secret hideaway has been revealed yesterday." " Is that so?" " Yes, it is." "Who was in charge?" "Leader, I led the squad." "But, I killed them all." "Who're you talking to?" "You can't pull my leg." "I know the truth." "Have you forgotten our law?" "You shall be punished for loss and revealing... even in the hell itself." "That's the law of the squad." "Our ship will sail in the day after tomorrow." "Now, en garde." "Take away the body and stay alert." "This isn't the end yet." "What are you saying?" "They won?" "We'd found their camp but we were defeated." "I should have better died there with others." "I am so ashamed." "Cut it out." "We are going to find them." "Will we be able to cope with it?" "They're surrounded by the rebels." "We'll defeat them." "Wait, we will make it as the commander order." "Right, the sea cost is desolated there's nowhere to hide." " We'll go back to Japan." " Our Lord's gonna be happy with the loot." "It's gonna be fun on the ship." "Fetch the treasure." "We've embarked the loot." "Embark the young woman yet." "As you command." "Let's go" "Watch out!" "Listen, it's him." " The Avenger with a flute?" " Yes." " It's you the Avenger?" " Yes, it's me." "Are you the gang of" "Get them!" "Lord, it's terrible." "Rebels are no match for them." "Where are they?" "They are under ground." "It's not possible." "They are underground make a bigger circle." "We can run away, Girls, let's get hurry." "My master." "You are a hero."

"Many innocents and commoners died." "They shed their blood to defend a justice." "Your Majesty, I have only one wish." "Establish competence and peaceful life for everyone." "Hero, you have really kind heart." "How is it possible?" "You kept telling me that my people were living in wealth." "And now from all of as sudden they are living in misery." "I beg for your pardon." "Your Majesty, allow me to lay a supplication." "in the name of my brother, brave Hong Kil-dong." "You have my permission." "My brother and daughter of mr.Rim are deeply in love." "Allow them to get married as soon as possible." "I see, this is how the things are." "Dear Rim, what do you think about it?" "Majesty, I'm listening to you" "I think it's a good occasion to reconcile two families in quarrel." "Unfortunately, Kil-dong is just son of a concubine... and Lord Hong, which is impassable impediment." "Agreeing with this knot, would raise the common people, and the difference which is... between the rich and the poor would be wiped off." "That is why I can not agree with this marriage." "Is it true?" "Your Majesty." "You have promised to grant any wish of my brave brother." "Majesty, I am supplicating for you." "This wish..." "I shall not grant." "I can't and I don't want." "Kil-dong." "He opposed to a world ruled by the absolute despotism of the nobles," "Carried out exploits in the name of motherland." "Notwithstanding that he dedicated so much effort." "He got only insults and humiliation in return." "Sad hearts of those people who were downcasted by the injustices." "They were leaving their country sailing for the wide world."
