"Well, come on already." "Places to go, things to do." "Come on, I said." "My lady." "Sohwa, you all right?" "You're not hurt?" "You!" "How dare you?" "How dare I?" "This from the son of a traitor." "Still putting on airs, I see." "You!" "That's enough!" "That's enough from YOU!" ""You this, you that." Watch that mouth of yours." "Watch those hands of YOURS." "How can you be so ungrateful." "Huh?" "Who's supported your family all this time?" "His lordship, that's who." "How can you just ignore that?" "That's how it goes!" "My lord." "Hello." "Open up." "It's Officer Jang." " Hey." " What kept you?" "I'm here now." "I wash my hands of it." "I'm off." "Not yet." "Have a drink, relax a bit." "Wish I could, but I've got a memorial service." "I'll count on it next time." "You got it." "Well, good luck." " Move out." " Sir." "C'mon." "Well?" "Move it along." "What is this place?" "You've never seen a house of pleasure?" "A house of..?" "Like a courtesan house?"

"Madame." "Well?" "Well, it's just..." "I won't go." ""Won't?"" "You've been sold into service." "You prefer death?" "Definitely." "Much better than entering that gate." "Look, I don't have time for this." "So let's just get on with it, shall we?" "Well, come on." "Unhand me." "Let go." "I won't go." "You heard her." "Unhand her." "Enough." "Madame." "Who are they?" "Children of Lord Yun, beheaded for treason." "Treason?" "The brats of traitors." "Watch it." "Our father was framed." "He was never a traitor." "Be that as it may." "You've been sold into service." "Now you serve at the whim of this house." "I refuse." "You have no choice." "I refuse to go in." "I won't be a filthy courtesan." "Filthy..?" "I see." "You." "Madame." "Strip her." "Wh... what are...?" "My lady." "Stop that!" "Sohwa..." "Sohwa!" "Stop... what are you doing?" "My lady!" "Sohwa, Sohwa." "You... you...!" "How dare you?" "My lady." " Sohwa, Sohwa." " My lady..." "Bind her." "Sohwa!" "Sohwa!" "What are you doing?" " Sohwa!" " My lady!" "Put them in the storehouse." "She stays here until I say otherwise." "Not a bite of food or a drop of water." " Clear?" " Yes, madame." " My lady." " Sohwa." "Open up!" "Open this door!" "How did this happen?" "My lady..." "Wait." "What's going on?" " What is..?" " "What?"" "You know what tree this is?" "The tree of shame." "She uses it to break the will of any so-called ladies." "Tree of Shame?" "Look, just leave your pride here." "Bow to her, say you were wrong." "Before the real shame comes." "See?" "Wait...wait...!" "How can you do this to a person?" "Let me go." "Please..." "Please!" "No." "We've sworn not to interfere." "I can't." "Help me." "Help me." "Father, Father..." "Hear me." "The traitor Yun Kisu has been sentenced to death." "Father!" "Kwanung, how could you?" "After all these years." "All these years of you looking down on me." "Now you can see just how wrong you were." "Unhand me." "Father, Father!" "Sohwa." "Don't take it too hard." "After we send her to a courtesan house, I'll call on her myself." "Who knows?" "Maybe I'll put a twinkle in her eyes." "Jo Kwangung..!" "Father!" "Here, a drink." "Congratulations." " It's been too long..." " Oh, you!" "My lord, if I may." "Oh, it's you." "Come in, come in." "Congratulations, my lord." "You've been promoted to the fifth rank." "News travels fast." "How did you find out?" "In fact, I've caught me a traitor." "Lord Yun, I believe?" "You know that, too?" "You've been here together, as friends." "At one time, yes, but what can you do?" "A friend is one thing, my country another." "I could hardly let a traitor go free." "Now could I?" "I suppose not." "But it broke my heart all the same." "So here I am." "I made him a promise before he died." "Which is?" "His daughter." "I vowed that if she was sold to a courtesan house I would be her first customer." "Is that a fact?" "How long will it be before I can try my hand?" "After she has been properly trained, of course, my lord." "I see." "But let's try this..." "As you know, I'm a busy man." "Let's say, five days?" "Surely that's enough time." "But my lord..." "I said five days." "I'll be waiting." "C'mere you." "Shall we, cutie..?" "You know what tree this is?" "The tree of shame." "Stupid girl...!" "She uses it to break the will of any so-called ladies." "I won't do it." "I won't." "I will never sell my body." "Never." "Help." "Don't help." "She's a piece of work all right." "Three days, not a drop of water." "What do you think?" "His lordship's deadline will be up in a few days." "I won't." "I will never...sell...my body." "There you are." "I've been looking all over for you." "Sopjong." "Come on." "This is human business." "But she's so young." "It's been three days." "Young or not, cruel or not, it's her destiny." "You can't interfere." "Did you forget your vow?" "I just want to help her." "You swore never to interfere again." "Just this once." "What will it hurt?" "There's no such thing." "Just this once turns into twice then three times." "You can't keep interfering in their lives." "There is a boundary you shouldn't cross." "Was that your destiny, too?" "A boundary I shouldn't cross?" "All I want to do is help." "My lady, you're awake?" "Dam." "Dam?" "Yes, my lady." "You're alive." "You were burning up all night." "I thought you'd burn yourself out." "Where am I?" "The courtesan house, of course." "She had a change of heart." "Oh, and they..." "Move." "My lady." "I won't stay here, not if it kills me." "Move." "I won't stay here another minute." "Oh you won't, will you?" "Once you're sold, you're a courtesan, like it or not." "Like it or not, you sell drinks, laughter and your body." "I'd prefer the tree of shame." "I'd rather die there." "My lady." "Sohwa." "Yun." "You're alive?" "Yun." "One last time." "You still refuse?" "Choose carefully." "You hold your brother's life in your hands." "Don't worry about me." "I don't matter." "Don't sell yourself." "Well, what will it be?" "Sohwa." "Well?" "Beat him." "Madame." "My lord." "My lady." "Stop." "Stop it." "Let him go." "I'll do what you ask." "Spare him." "Sohwa!" "My lady." " You." " Yes, madame." "Clean her up." "Madame." "Sohwa..." "Sohwa..." "Sohwa." "Well, now, there's a sight." "Such a shame." "Lord Jo of all people." "Who?" "Lord Jo?" "Jo Kwanung." "She'll be servicing him tonight." "What?" "The same Lord Jo that betrayed our late lord?" "Yes." "Him." "Our father wasn't enough." "Now he's after Sohwa." "No." "That scum." "Exactly." "You have to do something." "Me?" "Like what?" "EEP!" "But if I'm caught..." "I know." "You'll be risking your life." "And I'm sorry about that." "But you're the only one that can do it." "We've got to stop Jo Kwangung from violating her." "You're right." "Please, Dam." "Save my sister." "Please." "Oolala, so pretty." "What of it?" "Beauty's a curse to us." "They say drinks, we pour." "They say bed, we run to bed." "How is he going to talk to her when she's completely mute." "You kidding?" "You know who it is?" "Lord Jo Kwangung himself, tha's who." "What he wants, he gets, or else." "Even the Madame has to give him his way." "Right?" "Enough chatter." "Out, both of you." "Go." "What was that?" "Jo Kangung?" "I have to go with him?" "Today?" "No one's to blame." "It's fate, that's all." "No." "Jo Kwanung?" "Jo Kwanung..?" "My lady." "It's me." "Dam, what are you doing here?" "What are you doing?" "There's no time." "His lordship is waiting outside." "Undress, hurry." "Put on my clothes and go." "What are you saying?" "Go?" "What about you?" "What will happen to you?" "Sure, I'll be stuck here, but at least it's not you." "You can't let your greatest enemy have you." "Dam." "You have to live." "Live to clear your father's name." "Live to take your revenge against Jo Kangung." "Dam." "And live to come back for me." "Don't you die." "Don't you dare." "All right?" "Dam." "My lady." "Your gentleman will be here soon." "He'll want servicing." "Be ready." "Look at me." "I said look at me." "Oh, no." "Who is she?" "Where is she?" "Well?" "I don't know." "She just told me to change clothes." "You want a beating, is that it?" "It's true, madame." "I don't know anything." "She told me to change and wait here." "Little..!" "Madame, Lord Jo is here." "Tell the guys to catch the girl." "Keep this quiet." "Not a word." "Yes, madame." "And you." "Tonight you service his lordship." "Yes'm." "Huh?" "That's not right." "How could I..." "Madame, I was wrong." "Spare me." "That's worse than death." "If you want to live, keep your mouth shut and do what you have to." "If he realizes it's you I'll kill you myself." "Understand?" "Madame." "What are you waiting for?" "Go find Sohwa." "Go!" "What's that?" "The forest is unsettled." "I've been waiting long enough." "Your pardon." "The child is nervous is all." "Nervous?" "I don't bite." "Much." "May I ask you a favor?" "Put out the light." "What for?" "So she doesn't know it's you." "You killed her father, after all." "If she sees you, she may do herself damage." "That might be fun, but not before I've had MY fun." "Fair enough." "Happy?" "Bring her in." "I'll leave you alone." "Not a word until he's finished." "If you value your life." "And that of your mistress." "Remember that." "That's it." "Struggle all you want, I like it." "My lady, my lady..." "Keep it up." "You're mine now." "As much as I want." "Over and over." "Until every part of you is mine." "Over and over." "My lady!" "You all right?" "Dam." "There's no time." "Come on." "We have to go." "Here." "Don't you die." "Don't you dare." "Let's go." "Here." " There." " Get them." "Come on." "Did you hear that?" "It has to be." "She's saving Sohwa." "And all of us." "Sohwa." "Go." "Yun, you go on." "What?" "Go without you?" "Forget it." "I'd rather die with you." "Who said anything about dying?" "I'm good at hiding." "You're good at running." "If we stay together we'll both die." "If you go we'll both live." "No." "I won't leave you here." "Please listen to me." "If we're captured we can't clear our father's name." "Think of Dam's sacrifice." "Sohwa." "Now go." "It's the only way to save me." "Please." "Go!" "Stay alive." "I'll find you, wherever you are." "Stay alive." "Go." "Go on." "Dam, I'm sorry." "It's come to this." "After all you did." "Forgive me." "Help...me..." "Help...m..." "Which way?" "There." "What is this?" "Fireflies?" "Not fireflies." "What then?" "Not spirits?" "Spirits?" "Who's there?" "Anyone there?" "Answer me." "What is it?" "A tiger?" "A wolf?" "Neither one." "Not a tiger, not a wolf, then what?" "What are you?" "A man?" "A demon?" "Leave this forest." "You there!" "Stand aside!" "Leave this forest!" "Madame!" "Where is she?" "Well?" "You!" "Oh, madame." "My lord?" "How dare you?" "How dare you pull a switch on me?" "Where is Sohwa?" "Bring her to me." "The ladies are available after formal training." "If you want Sohwa, come back when she's trained." "Then you may have your way with her." "You must have a death wish." "That's the only explanation." "Will that get you what you want?" "What?" "Get my sword." "Give me my sword!" "My lord, spare her." "It's not her fault." "Sohwa has run away." "What?" "Not another word." "We got her all prepared, but she slipped away." "Sohwa is to blame for running off." "The madame did nothing wrong." "Run off?" "Sohwa?" "Look the other way." "She'll be killed if it's reported." "We can get her back." "Give us a chance, my lord." "I swear..." "I'll get her back." "You there." "My lord." "Report runaway slaves." "Send men out to find them." "Yes, my lord." "Sohwa." "Who are you?" "You the runaway?" "What?" "Who?" "Sohwa's little brother." "Bounty hunters caught him this morning." "They're going to hang him." "Dam!" "Dam!" "My lord, my lord." "My lord..." "My lord!" "Dam..." "Dam..." "One last time." "Where is Sohwa?" "You're scum." "Hang me, kill me but you're still scum." " Do it." " Sir." "Dam, thank you." "I'll never forget what you did." "My lord." " Dam." " My lord." "The forest?" "What did you see?" "A nine-tailed fox." "A nine-tail?" "I don't understand." "Out of nowhere, you say?" "A nine-tailed fox, out of nowhere." "At first I thought it was fireflies or something." "Then whish, whoosh, he was everywhere." "Oh, dear." "You're sure it was a nine-tail?" "Sure I'm sure." "A fox with all nine tails." "I thought I'd never see you again." "Absurd." "You come to me with a story like this?" "We have a number of witnesses." "Too many for it to be an hallucination." "And Sohwa?" "What about here?" "Taken by the fox, I'm thinking." "Oh, no." "Nine-tails love human liver." "That's disgusting." "Madame... madame..." "It's... it's..." "What will we do?" "That poor child." "You're up?" "Who are you?" "You slept the day through." "I was worried." "You all right?" "I asked who you are." "Gu Wolyong." "Don't worry." "I chased them all away." "No one can touch you here." "No one can tie you to a tree or threaten you." "Dam Pyongjun at your service." "Do you know why I sent for you?" "A nine-tailed fox is in the forest?" "Nine tails, one tail, no tails, whatever it is I can't have it disturbing the peace." "Don't you agree?" "As you say, sir." "We'll search the wood and find it." "You're sure you saw it?" "Sure we're sure." "With our own eyes." "Then you can show us the way." "Follow me." "I remember exactly where it is." " Move out." " Sir." "I believe that's Dam Pyongjun." "That's not good." "Wolyong." "Where are you?" "Wolyong, Wolyong." "What is it, Sojong?" "Oh." "You said you'd be gone a month at least." "Yes, well, there are soldiers coming." "Listen." "Who's the girl?" "Yun Sohwa." "Yun Sohwa?" "The girl tied to the tree." "Remember?" "You really went and did it?" "She ran into my forest." "She asked for my help, so..." "You've got to send her away." "She's on the run." "They'll kill her if she's caught." "Live, die, it's her fate." "And not your concern." "How many times do I have to say it?" "It's my concern now." "Since when is a human's fate your concern?" "Since I fell in love." "So what do you care..." "Come again?" "Can you find the Book of the Nine?" "The Gu Family Book..?" "You're not..." "I want to be human." "Find that nine-tailed nuisance." "Found it." "And find the body of Sohwa." "It was a place of mystery." "A place none dared approach." "It had long been a dwelling place of guardian spirits." "The Garden of the Moon where their sad tale began." "What's that?" "A human?" "Yes." "You as in... you?" "Yes." "I want to be a man." "It's the first time I've felt like this in a thousand years." "For a nine-tailed fox to win a woman he had to lie, deceive, seduce." "Why?" "I loved you." "Despite everything." "He's not a monster." "My baby isn't a monster." "River "Kang," Found "Chi." "Kangchi."" "Kangchi." "Choe Kangchi."
