"Brought to you by WITH S2 Written In The Heavens Subbing Squad" "Final Episode" "Why are you treating the chief like a puppet?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Why did you send that message behind the chief's back?" "Our fellow compeers think that he's conspiring with Lord Kim." ""Conspiring"?" "!" "How could anyone think he would be capable of that?" "People could only misunderstand, considering the way he acted." "Not only did he meet him in secret, his reasoning was quite suspicious as well." "We cannot just turn a blind eye to this." "I know how much the chief owed him ever since his trading days, but as it stands, Lord Kim is only an obstacle his path is laden with." "And unless he rids himself of such obstacle, I can't acknowledge him as our leader." "So is that why you're using him as a bait to murder Lord Kim?" "He must be dealt with no matter what." " It's nothing but a despicable subterfuge." " Despicable?" "!" "Must we honor a corrupt ruffian like him with a dignified demise?" "We must rid ourselves of him whatever it takes." "And the chief must abide by our plans." "His future as chief of the Arae depends upon this." "This doesn't sound like a stratagem to kill Lord Kim, but one to oust the chief." "Silence!" "I've been watching over you two all this time, how could you speak to me that way?" "And it's because of "all that time" that I thought you'd trust him by now." "You disappoint me." "It can't be helped." "When the late chief was in charge, this never happened." "I never imagined they held you in such contempt." "They don't deserve your resentment." "I'm to blame for lacking leadership." "There is nothing you lack." "Are you not the one responsible for succeeding in Gochang without a single casualty?" "Why do you think that men from all the eight provinces are eager to join us?" "It is nothing but a vile subterfuge to oust you from power." "We shouldn't resent our compeers just because of their differing views and methods." "It is only natural they would strive for justice and to uphold our great cause." "Then, are you prepared to kill your own father to uphold our great cause?" "I wish I could help him survive." "But if I was asked to choose one between him and the Arae," "I'll still choose the Arae." "Would you like to see the inner quarters?" "No..." "What would I know, anyway?" "We'll come again in the morrow for a closer look." "If possible, I'd like it to be sold to someone in my same trade." "I will try." "Is she selling the depot?" "Selling it, and going back to her hometown." "Then, what happens to us?" "I have no idea..." "This is serious...." "I have nowhere else to go." "Why are you standing there?" "So you're selling this depot?" "It's not going to happen overnight, so don't worry and just work hard." "Milady." "When you do sell it, don't let them buy me as well, and allow me to join you wherever you'll go." "I must wait here until Dogab's father returns, so I'll stay until you sell this place." "You risked your life to deliver this message..." "It's commendable." "It is only my duty, Milord." "When you go back, tell him I shall meet him tomorrow night." "I'm grateful for your cooperation." "This is a pass personally signed by me." "Should any officers on patrol stop you, show it to them." "Yes." "Did anyone come visit?" "Only someone delivering a message to His Excellency." " A message?" " Yes." "It's an Arae member we just captured." "We must capture that messenger." "Follow me!" "Yes." "What are you doing?" "I have a pass personally signed by His Exc..." "I'll write you a new pass bringing you directly to the bureau prisons." "So you're telling me he was captured?" "Yes..." "He's being held in custody outside the gates." "You needn't get involved in this." "Set him free at once!" "That's out of the question." "Your life is in peril." "You must tell me why he came here." "This is not Chundoong's handwriting." " It's his for sure!" " It's not." "Why wouldn't I recognize his handwriting?" "These are the same people who made a forgery of the Royal Seal back in Gochang." "And this is nothing but a forgery of Chundoong's handwriting as well." "He's their chief, who would dare make a forgery of his handwriting?" "!" "There must be something going on within the Arae's ranks." "If you truly want to wipe the Arae out, you'll have to make another plan." "I wasn't trying to wipe them out, but to save Chundoong's life!" "That's not going to happen." "Chundoong will never go back to you, Father." "We must convince him to come back at all cost!" "What really matters now is taking your name off their hit list." "And then we can plan ahead." "What can I do, then?" "First, send them a message promising you'll resign from your post, and return all the money you appropriated through dishonest means." "So we'll at least buy some time." " Set him free." " Yes." "This is a message for your chief from His Excellency." "Bring it to him." "Consider yourself lucky." "Leave!" "Liking someone or not is nothing human efforts can change." "So I could only feel sorry to her...." "Since there is nothing I can do." " To whom?" " Big Aunt." "If you're that sorry, then just live with her." "How can we live together?" "!" "I like someone else already..." "Why are you so foolish?" "No matter what your feelings might be, if you see that things don't work out, just give up on her and get it over with, like I do." "Take a look at me!" "I wanted to take Dennyun in as my mistress." "And even Dennyun liked the idea." "However!" "For her own sake, I glanced at the sky above me, and quietly gave up." "That's what a real man's man would do!" "You can't compare my situation with yours..." "Why can't I?" "It's best for you to weigh your options and give up, if there's no other choice." "You should have given up on Maksoon back when she had an affair with Scholar Jo." "The straightforward path is not always your best bet." "At times, there are paths you can't cross, and others you must go back to." "So if Maksoon wants nothing to do with you, you should accept Big Aunt's feelings!" "But I'll never be capable of that." "So that's why I feel like I committed a sin against Big Aunt, and I can't even look at her in the eyes." "How can you only have eyes for Maksoon your entire life?" "How could anyone be so foolish?" "What's so great about Maksoon?" "But look at Big Aunt." "They don't call her "big" for nothing!" "The bigger, the better." "I really can't figure you out!" "I don't really know what I'm feeling, either." "So that's why men can't hold a candle to women." "Pour me a drink." "Trembling like a drunkard now?" ""To the Arae."" ""Stop disgracing my name on that hit list of yours,"" ""and halt all the atrocities directed at me."" ""I promise I will resign from my post, and reflect on my past misdeeds."" "He has finally submitted, at last." "I can't believe a heinous ruffian like him would send us such a message." "It might be just a subterfuge to catch us off guard." "No need to let suspicions sway you." "All we'll need to do is verify the truth." "If it turns out Lord Kim truly resigned from his post, then how do you suggest we proceed?" "Truth or not, his past misdeeds shall not be forgiven." "We must proceed with the assassination." "That would be much too cruel." "No corrupt courtier who renounces his ways should be punished." "I agree." "Lord Kim completely surrendered." "Killing him after all this would be excessive." "If we obsess over that hit list without just cause, the Arae will only be known as a throng of bloodthirsty assassins." "I think so as well." "At times, one needs to learn how to take a step back." "If that is how you feel, then I shall endeavor to observe the situation with you." "Anyone with opposing views?" "Even if I look disloyal to you, my views still stand." "I will follow the chief's wishes to the end." "And as for me..." "I really have nothing to say." "Then, we'll first check if Lord Kim resigned from his post, and then make a decision." "You're pulling that trigger in a haste, so it's distracting you." "Here, let me show you." "Use your left arm to support it, and then just like Lee Mongryong pulling Chunhyang's coat strings, do it gently, with a soft touch." "I never really pulled a woman's coat strings before, so that must be why it doesn't work." "With the right amount of concentration and practice, anyone can do it." "How did the meeting go?" "We will decide after checking whether Lord Kim lives up to his word." "That's great to hear." "You can finally breathe a sigh of relief." "I guess you could say that." "Naeuri." "The commissioner is looking for you." " What for?" " I don't really know." "Go on in." " Answering your summoning, Sir." " Have a seat." "Today your father handed his resignation to the royal secretary." "His resignation?" "!" "You weren't aware?" "That is news to me." "He listed his failure to protect the minister of taxation... and his wish to take responsibility for the accusations of corruption as his motives." "The secretary still hasn't brought it to His Majesty's attention, so there is still time to make sure that memorial is never delivered." "You can take a leave of absence if needed, so can't you try to make him reconsider?" "I've only heard of this right now, so I really don't know what to say." "If your father hands his resignation alone, what will that make of me?" "So go back home and try to convince him otherwise." "He certainly isn't going to listen to me." "Anyhow, go tell him I'm really concerned, and ask whether he could reconsider." "Hold it with both hands." " And then you pull the trigger, got it?" " Yes." "Is my father back?" "Right after leaving office, he said he had to go somewhere and left." "Where did all the garrison troops stationed outside go?" "His Excellency sent them back in a fit of rage." " He sent them back?" "!" " I can't really figure it out." "After coming back from the office, he said he no longer needs protection." "What about that pistol?" "I was worried the Arae might try to assault us, so I was teaching her how to shoot, to at least intimidate them." "Orabeoni." "Mother wants to see you." "How come you're home so early?" "I just heard about Father's resignation, so I was worried." "What's going on?" "He thought of resigning from the very moment he ended on the Arae's hit list." "But he said it's not because he's afraid of them." "The moment the memorial is conveyed, we will move back to our hometown." "Why don't you resign as well and follow us?" "I can't do that." "Why can't you?" "I have duties, and an obligation to earn the salary I'm being paid." "We must suppress the Arae and restore public order." "I cannot leave my post without first doing that." "Your intents are noble, but you really think that you alone will be able to change that rotten place?" "So don't be stubborn and just follow us." "Mother..." "I'm a military officer." "There is a path I must walk on." "No matter what dire quandaries our country might have fallen into, it still remains my land, my country." "I have a responsibility to repel treacherous individuals and protect our land." "So let Father decide his own path, just like I will do with mine." "If that is what you want, I will respect your wishes." " Is Maksoon inside?" " She went to the market." "I couldn't come empty-handed, so make these for your spouse when he's back." "Why do you keep bringing things whenever you come?" "I'm so thankful you're being kind to Maksoon." "Don't you even mention it." "You can't imagine how much help she's giving me." "She sells rice on my behalf and even helps me with the cakes." "She's leaving soon, so I'm really worried." "Leaving?" "!" "Where is she going?" "She'll follow Lady Dongnyeo to her hometown." "Tell her you want to go as well." "Like she'd like the idea..." "No..." "You really don't know her true feelings, do you?" "!" "Why wouldn't I?" "I know that better than anyone." "She's just not asking you because she feels guilty, that's all." "Why, did she tell you she'd like me to go as well?" "Yes." "And it's not because she wants you to work for her." "Why, what's wrong with that?" "It makes no difference to me!" "When did she say that?" "A few days back, and again yesterday." "I've heard her say that twice." "You want me to go with you?" "!" "Thank you, Maksoon!" "I'll give my best to make you happy." "Even if I have to spend a life of servitude, I'll do it with a smile on my face." "Thank you so much, Maksoon!" " Give me that rice." " It's heavy..." "Whatever the case, think the rice would appreciate being called heavy?" "Got a point." "Just looking at all that rice fills me up with satisfaction." "Wipe your sweat and let's take a little break." "Yes." "Did you say you wanted me to follow you to your hometown?" "Would you... come with me?" "If you want me to come, I'd love to." "So you felt too guilty to bring it up?" "Guilty for what?" "!" "I've been pestering you all these years, saying I liked you." "I'm sorry." "I don't deserve to even walk in your shadows." "Don't say that..." "I'm a terrible person." "You'll never meet someone worse than me." "No..." "You've just had a tough life, but you're a good person." "I'm not." "I'm a wretched wench." "Forgive me, Orabeoni..." "What did you ever do wrong, to ask for forgiveness?" "Don't cry..." "Aigoo..." "Stop drinking, will you?" "How can you get drunk at this hour?" "You don't know how I'm feeling, that's why." "Why, you know how it feels to be me?" "I've lived to this day without children or even a spouse." "Despite all the loneliness and distress, I don't wall all day like you do." "I've had crushes just like everyone else, for your information." "Who was he?" "The man you had a crush on." "He's think monk called Geumjeong." "Really handsome, and all." "You should look for enlightenment in monks." "How can you expect them to be pretty as well?" "You'll be punished!" "Like you're in any position to lecture me?" "!" "You kept prattling on, Saedol..." "Saedol!" "But in the end, Maksoon got him all for herself." "So I'll just forget him, and pray for them to have a happy life." " Want another drink?" " Aigoo..." "That's enough." "Let her pour it!" "Saedol!" "Be happy with Maksoon!" "You must..." "Licentiate." "What brings you here?" "There is someone who wanted to meet you, so I escorted him." "I came to apologize to you." "You dare set foot here in broad daylight?" "!" "Accept my bow of repentance." "You knave." "Don't you see the hatchet in my hands?" "I came to beg for your forgiveness." "If you don't want to forgive me, behead me instead." "All my fellow compeers victim of your tyranny are watching us from the heavens!" "You can't do this!" "What do you think moved him to kneel down before you in repentance?" "What did you subject me to that despicable mug of yours for?" "Get up." "I recommended you as the next vice-minister of taxation." "You're the only one who can restore discipline and order in our board." "They must all be captured alive, is that clear?" "Yes." "You are under arrest!" "What are you doing?" "We did nothing wrong!" "Where is Changbok?" " He's not here." " Where has he gone?" "I don't know." " Search the entire premises!" " Yes!" "I have wronged you far too many times." "What are you saying..." "I died the moment Licentiate Kim raised that hatchet against me." "That's not true." "You were born again." "If you wish to marry Guidong, go ahead." "I shall never bring up my clan or blood lineage again." "But if there is anything I wish for, even if I have to sacrifice my life for it, it's to get Chundoong back." "Do you understand?" "I do." "I understand." " Remarkable achievement, I see." " Nothing that should concern you." "But I made quite the discovery myself." "The fact that you're not Lord Kim's son." "I learned that the Arae's chief, that Chundoong is his real son." "I never even dreamed you could be an illegitimate son." "How about your court musician father, and isn't your mother a mudang?" "Shall we see who sets the standards for lowly, illegitimate sons?" "Why did you attempt to kill me?" "I resented you." "And for knowing the truth about me, I wanted to kill you." "Do you still feel the same?" "Becoming Lord Kim's son was completely out of my control." "But you bought your yangban status, and joined the force hiding your upbringing." "You knave..." "I've heard everything from your mother!" "Just like nothing can quench the voracious man's hunger, there is no antidote for your endless greed and avarice!" " It has possessed your soul!" " You knave!" "Are you going to behead me right here?" "Even if I wanted to kill you, after seeing in what state your mother was," "I couldn't possibly do so." "She lamented that no prayer or ritual of hers will rid your soul of that greed!" "Speak no more!" "Is that why you took your compeer's side and helped the Arae?" "Don't disgrace my name just because you and I are different!" "I am nothing but a bureau officer who will live and die for the sake of justice!" " How righteous of you!" " More than a wretched fool like you, at least!" "Whomever my compeer might be, I will capture the Arae at all cost!" "And then it will be your turn!" "We will see who catches whom!" "Sir." "Why do you keep barging in, can't you see you're bothering her?" " What else do you need this time?" " It's not that, you have a guest." "Let him in, and leave us." "Yes." "How have you been?" "Who are you, again?" "I used to work at the depot, my name is Mandeok." "But..." "What brings you here?" "I'd like a word in private, if you don't mind." "Don't just creep up without making a sound, will you?" "I've been looking for you all over, and here you were." "Why, is anything wrong?" "I told Mandeok to escort your grandfather here." "And why did you call him to such a dangerous place?" "Dalyi." "I.... want to join you in marriage." "What are you talking about, all of a sudden?" "It's not sudden at all." "I've been thinking about it for a long time." "We don't know what the morrow will bring us, do we?" "Why should we go on hiding our feelings any longer?" "I told your grandfather to join us as well, so let us make sure he doesn't come in vain, and celebrate our marriage today." "It wouldn't be much of a problem even if he did." "How can we so suddenly get married?" "Even if you vow before a mere bowl of water, affection is all you need to live a happy life." "You're the only one for me." "Accept my feelings." "This is all so sudden..." "It feels like a dream." "Then, think of it as getting married in your dreams." "Dear!" "Dear!" "I didn't hit your wife a single time." "Reveal your hideout." "If you don't, I'll be forced to leave you to my fellow officers." "Dear!" "Dear..." "Just tell him." "It's the only way we'll survive!" "Dear..." "We stand here today to celebrate these two righteous... youths, joining in conjugal ties before this limpid water." "Water and nothing else..." "Gods of heaven and earth." "Bless this man and his woman with your boundless benevolence." "Right..." "Have a seat." "You must flee!" "Bureau officers are coming this way!" "Everyone, find refuge!" "Quick..." "Let's go!" "Looks like they had a ritual to ask providence not to be caught." "I don't think that's it." " Proceed once again." " Yes." "Please, spare us!" "I will tell you everything." "I beg you, stop!" "How many more hideouts do you have?" "Three..." "We have three more." "Father..." "How did it go?" "Did you catch Chundoong?" "We still haven't been able to." "But it will happen tonight." "You can't kill him." "Let him live, please..." "You can't kill him." "Let him live, please..." "What about my grandfather?" "He went with the beggar chief, so he'll be safely back home by now." "Thank you." "How are things outside?" "I don't think they know of this place yet." "Have something to eat and then we'll move out." " I'll go take a look outside." " Yes." "What are you doing there?" "Is anything wrong?" "I suddenly realized how happy I am, and that made me cry." "Chundoong." "I wish we could spend the rest of our lives this way." "We promised we wouldn't wish for a long life, didn't we?" "I thought so until the day of our wedding, but I just realized how much death scares me." "I envy ordinary people, living day by day without knowing a thing." "Why must we be the ones to sacrifice our lives, and live this way?" "We knew what we were getting into." "Don't let it weaken your resolve." "All those credulous masses disappoint me." "Why must we stake our lives, while they don't move a single finger?" "It's what we must do, to help awaken them." " It's not fair." " That's not what you should be thinking." "Life is nothing but a fleeting journey, anyway." "A short and righteous struggle will always beat decades of greed and tyranny." "After all, are we not by each other's side?" "Wipe those tears." " Watch the soup." " I know!" "I thought we'd only get to eat rice balls..." "This is a feast." "Taste that soup." "Chundoong..." "Quick, get out of here!" "They're coming this way!" "Quick!" "That way!" "Shoot!" "Fire!" "Look at me." "Le...." "Leave it to me, and find refuge." " But you..." " Do it!" "After them!" " Did they hit your leg?" "Let me see." " No need." "Dalyi." "Listen to me." "Give me the pistol and leave it to me." "I'll cover you while you leave." "No way." "You must." "Chundoong!" "Can you hear me?" "I know you're hiding there." "If you drop your weapons and come out, I will spare your life." "You must follow my orders from now on." "If we stay, we will both die." "I can survive this, so please do as I say." " No way..." "I'm staying." " I'm your chief." " Are you going to disobey my orders?" " You're not a chief." "You're the man who means more than my own life, the one I love." "If we stay here, they'll kill us both." "I beg you, do as I said." "Chundoong!" "If you drop your weapons and come out, you'll be spared." "I'm not going to die." "I'll cover you and soon follow after, so let's meet by the bridge." " Can you really make it?" " I will." "Let's go!" "That way!" "Go!" "Now!" "Hold fire!" "Hold!" "I'm going in alone to capture him." "It's too dangerous." "I know him well, so there's nothing to worry about." "You must not shoot or even move a single step from here." " Is that clear?" " Yes." "Stay away!" "I have something to tell you." "If you come in, I will shoot!" "As you wish." "What did you come in for?" "To find a way for the both of us to survive." "The both of us?" "!" "Everything that happened to us started from the moment we were switched." "So let us do that one more time." "What are you talking about?" "What is going on?" "Officer Kim just entered the shed where the criminal was hiding." "He said not to shoot or move from here until further notice." "All right..." "From here on in, you're Officer Kim." "And I'm the Arae's chief." "The moment you get out of here, turn back and flee." "What are you trying to accomplish?" "I'll wait here until the officers come in." "Go now." "But when they learn you let me go, you will not be forgiven." "If they find me battered and injured, I don't see why I wouldn't." "Thank you, and forgive me." "Officer Kim is coming out!" "He's limping?" "!" "Officer Kim." "I won!" "Don't shoot!" "It's me, Officer Kim!" " Officer..." " Chundoong!" "Chundoong." "Chundoong!" "Guidong..." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry, Chundoong." ""I'm sorry" is something... compeers... never say." "Chundoong!" "Chundoong..." "Open your eyes." "Open your eyes!" "I said open them..." "No..." " One Year Later " "[*"Teaching knows no classes" from the Analects of Confucius]" "Yugyo Muryu*." "You know what these words mean?" "They were the same words which guided my father when he first opened this academy." "Yugyo Muryu." "They mean that a teacher should never discriminate against his students." "And that is why I'm teaching maidens like you how to read." "My father once taught a beggar from Yongma-gol how to read." "Have you heard the legend of Yongma-gol's great warrior?" "Yes." "Why don't you tell me about it, then?" "It's about a boy born on the day when horse dragons descended from the heavens." "But after becoming a warrior, he eventually plots treason." "So that's why he had to be killed before that happened." "That is only what corrupt ruffians are telling you to justify their tyranny." "What they call treason is nothing but a righteous struggle to restore justice." "And so is imparting knowledge upon everyone without discrimination." "For the awakened must help bring us a more righteous world." " Is that clear?" " Yes." "Dear." "Come out a moment." "Do you recognize me?" "You were alive!" "Who is there?" "The late Chundoong's wife." "He's Milord's grandson." "He looks just like Chundoong."
