"~ Episode 4 ~" "Get out of the way!" "Over my dead body." "Turn." "We'll take the other way." " Daegil!" " Eonni!" "A hundred paces north over the roof of that hut." "General Choi, you take the left flank." "Wangson, you go right and surround him." "Get moving!" "That way." "Orabeoni..." "Are you all right?" "Take it." ""Adorned with a silk ribbon, she passed by Mt." "Shingo,"" ""Holding a handful of flowers,"" ""She walked on, a subtle smile on her face."" ""Who could find her, who could..."" "What's this?" "He's not here?" "He's not." "Seen that?" "I'm sure I shot a hole through that dirty skull of his." "It just... went in like that." "Good job." "Will you keep making fun of me?" "Me?" "Who said I ever tried?" "Aigoo..." "That's a relief, all right." "Just a little closer, and you'd have one more hole to worry about." "Sure you know what you're doing?" "Ohh Ohh!" "Horses' heads and yours, they're all the same." "If you get stabbed, it tears." "Get shot, and it makes a hole." "Gently..." "Do it gently..." "Ahh..." "Really, I told you to do it gently." " Why is this not working?" " Let..." "Let go." "Just stay put!" "It always worked well with horses' heads?" "!" " Will you do it gently?" " Ehh..." "Just relax a little." "Ahh..." "Here we go." "*1 pun = 1/100 of a nyang" "That'd be two pun* and a half." "For what?" "What do you think?" "If someone treats you, shouldn't you pay for it?" " Must I really?" " Sure you do!" "Gambling money and treatment fees need to be settled right away." "A maeui should treat wounded horses, you'd break the law treating people." "Physicians from every district would go at you for stealing their job." "You miserable..." "Slap the hand that feeds you, will you?" "Have a problem with it, go complain and they'll slap you for real." "You sorry son of a hog..." " Damned tightwad and your shenanigans." " Shut it." "Forget this, and go take care of the horses' dysentery." "If you don't, I'll go around the whole district telling everyone." "That you treated me." "Ehh!" "Go slave hunting until you croak, you useless twat." "He's just fine, isn't he?" "Don't know who it was, but he can't even shoot someone in the head?" "Is it that hard to hit that tightwad's mug?" "All you need is one shot and it's done." "So my General Choi is safe and sound, right?" "Even the one who got shot is, would it be otherwise for someone who didn't?" "Ehh..." "Starving tigers wouldn't chew that skinflint even if you forced them!" "This won't do it." "I'll have to convince General Choi to call it quits." "I mean..." "Think I wouldn't be able to support him?" "Even only with a tavern, wouldn't that be enough to survive?" "!" "Listen to that." "Only slatterns would act that way." "I just wish he'd stop afflicting this throbbing bosom of mine..." "The greater her man's endeavors, the more composedly a woman should await him." "If you barge in and ask him to quit every single time..." "As if he didn't have enough problems already..." "Would he like it?" "Is that so?" "Then I guess I shouldn't?" "!" "Those animals they call men, they always favor women who follow them with subtlety and prudence." "Go get a chicken." "General Choi must have been shocked." "All right, Seongnim." "Seongnim!" "Thank you!" "I almost risked looking like a slattern." "Ohh..." "Sure." "Nothing serious, I hope?" "Well..." "It's just..." "You need not worry." "But..." "Why don't you quit this dangerous life of yours?" "Even with only a tavern, it would be more than enough to survive." "Stop afflicting this throbbing bosom of mine..." "Why, is that even big enough to call it a bosom?" "Looks as if you stuck two boiled eggs in there." "It must have been such a disconcerting sight, so let me prepare a chicken for you." "I was the one who got shot." "Why is General Choi getting the chicken?" "Told you there had to be some navel-grinding involved." "What's with the funeral atmosphere?" "Uh?" "!" "I got stabbed countless times, but now a matchlock barely grazes me, and look..." "Are a matchlock and a blade the same thing?" "Whatever the case, you silly." "Bull's eye, you croak." "If they miss, as you were." "Consider yourself lucky I was there." "If you hadn't been stopped by me, you wouldn't have seen the shot." "It can't be Cheon Jiho, can it?" "He wouldn't be that smart." " Anyone in mind?" " I do have a vague idea." "Me too, me too." "The way I see it..." "Really bad people might have shot at you." "I heard this a while ago." "Seems like someone is ordering firearms down at the blacksmith." "Blacksmiths will do anything for the right price." "May I speak?" "What is it?" "All the money we saved so far, let's split it fair and square." "You always take care of the money for us all, but if the next accident ends with you pushing up daisies, we'll all end up empty-handed." " Wangson!" " What I'm saying..." "It's not that I don't trust him, but you never know when he could die." "I'm not suggesting you'll die soon..." "Still, there is no assurance you won't, either." "Uh?" "!" "Be honest." "Can you really trust anyone?" "Look at what happens between brothers and kinfolk out there." "Don't you agree?" "Uh?" "You know..." "You know what I'm talking about, right?" "Uh?" "No, I have no idea, you hogwash-spewing dumbass." " Are we speaking the same language?" " Ahh..." "Why wouldn't you know?" " The way I see it..." " Don't see." " What I'm saying..." " Shut that trap." "Listen well." "Uh?" "In this trade, croaking out of nowhere is the order of the day, so stop wobbling like a parturient wench." "No matter the issue, acting like that betrays the laws of the street." "Guess the world is changing." "What stops a blade wielder from picking up a matchlock?" "It only means he still has his eyes on us." "So, what?" "What are you trying to say?" "Song Taeha." "The moment we go after him, something like this happens." "So, what, now you're going to tell me it's some kind of political conspiracy?" "For starters, we need to find who shot you, to avoid any further trouble." "Guess we'll have to." "Can't press ahead when your noggin still itches." "Shouldn't we first split our money?" "Wangson!" "Daegil, you rest a little, while you head down to the blacksmith and taste the waters." "I have something to look into of my own." "Ahh..." "Whatever!" "As you please." "Three-four years of doing this, and I'm always broke." "Is there any comradery here?" "Ehh..." "By the way, Orabeoni." "Aren't you going to eat?" "Belated is the night, but what ennui!" "One nyang, just one." "Heeey!" "I hear Daegil got shot?" "So what happened?" "Has he croaked yet?" "Stop yakking that trap like a rush of donkey farts." "The yak what?" "It rushed farting?" "But what about the donkey?" "One nyang!" "Just one!" "Belated is the night, but what ennui!" "One nyang..." "Seems like he didn't really croak?" "Yeah..." "Guess that fool's flock will be after us for that." "I'm sorry." "I'm sure I made a hole in that skull of his..." "Ahh..." "Don't you worry." "The more annoying, the longer they last." " But I aimed straight here, and..." " Ahh..." "Forget it, man." "It's just a taste of things to come, anyway." "We can just catch the fool and slaughter him next time." "Sure..." "Sure..." "Don't worry about it." "Seriously." "Halbae." "Snakes, over there." "Ohh..." "Isn't that Gaenom Ajeosshi?" "Ohh..." "Right." "Chobok, that kiddo." "She's not bad?" "Might be young, but she's clever." "And enough grit to last for two." "Pardon the impudence." "In the frenzy of the moment, I unknowingly..." "I was startled." "I apologize." "But..." "What is this place?" "It is the hermitage which granted solace to my family's souls." "Your wound seemed severe, so I brought you here." "How long have I been unconscious?" "First..." "Your garments..." "You have awakened." "That is a relief." "Who are you?" "I am Monk Myeongan." "Here..." "Have some." "Is there anyone other than you here?" "It is but a small hermitage amidst the mountains." "I am the lone Buddhist disciple, and my only guests are here before me." "Did anyone see you on the way here?" "No one." "Wait..." "A couple of peasants did see me." "When..." "Where was it?" "It was not far from where you rescued me." "Looking at your garments, meseems you are a man of arms?" "Were you injured by arrows?" "No, it was nothing but an accident during training." "My gratitude." "I shall not forget what you did for me." "Rest a few days longer." "Your injury is too serious to begin a long journey back." "Do as he says." "I owe you a debt of gratitude myself, so if you could rest here another day," "I feel like a big burden of mine would be quelled." "I hear you were about to join someone in conjugal ties, so what..." "What can I tell you..." " But, as for lodging here..." " You needn't worry." "I only came here to pay my respects to Buddha." "Are you going to spend the whole night bowing?" "Would it be that much of a burden?" "I will honor that man's departed soul..." "And..." "Go ahead and do it, then." "You can always think about the future on another day." "I could not even prepare anything for the ritual." "Had you even adorned the place with manifold trinkets in his honor, would it compare with gaining a piece of your heart?" "Still, honoring his memory that way would be..." "You are back?" "What do we owe all that apprehension to?" "You are back, Father(-in-law)." "Nary a day has passed without you being late, is it because nothing here beckons your devotion?" "No." "I was merely occupied with my duties." "Entrusting my impaired daughter to your care," "I really deserve no excuse." "Will you share a drink with me?" "How did you deal with that runaway slave?" "We sent out sketches of the criminal all over the peninsula, and I employed other officers separately, instructing them to trail him." "So he wasn't limping after all?" "He must have done it to avoid hard labor and prepare for his escape." "No." "He was just awaiting the right moment." "*Prince Gyeongan, the last surviving son of Crown Prince Sohyeon" "He surely will look for Im Youngho in Chungju, and Lee Seokgyeon* in Jeju." "May I entrust you an intriguing task?" "Your wish is my command." "What is populating Song Taeha's most fervent dreams... is the wish to find Im Youngho and Lee Seokgyeon." "But what if they already were put out of their misery?" "How does it sound?" "Wouldn't that be interesting?" "You want me... to slay those people?" "They both have lived long enough." "I understand." "I will send men of discretion to deal with it." "For something of this paramount importance, you should go firsthand." "Training prohibits me from leaving my post unattended, nor can we devote ulterior forces away from their duty." "So your duties will not allow you to do it, is that it?" "My apologies." "You are much too attached to that post of yours." "Have one more drink and call it a night." "Can you walk?" "I will have to owe you my life." "Hold it a little longer." "If we get past them, we'll be able to escape the fortress." " I'm only being a burden to you." " Don't even say that!" "I shall repay this debt with my life." "Here." "Have some yourself." "Just eat." "But, did anything happen to you?" "You don't look well." "It's nothing." "Is His Excellency faring well?" " Yes." " Listen..." "People were saying this..." "That with that malady..." "Even with that malady, you can still bear children." "It is time you stop working, and have a rest." "As if your salary was all that much, every time you come..." "Just wait a little longer." "I will move you to a much nicer abode." "I need nothing from you." "All I want is for you to do well." "Do not worry about me." "Just a little food on the table and you'll please the in-laws, they said." "Forget the help they've given us, but if you think about your lineage..." "We will soon move out, and you'll come live with us." "All I want is for you two to have a nice life." "So how many slaves ran away from the Training Command?" "A total of seven including Song Taeha, and they all came from the royal stables." "Seems like they took the opportunity to flee... during preparations for the annual royal procession, when patrol was halved." "So..." "Patrol was neglected, you meant to say." " Well, one could argue it wasn't..." " There is no need to argue." "Deprive Commissioner of the Military Training Command Hwang Cheolwoong of his post, and escort him to the Board of Punishment prisons." "Your Excellency!" "Even before being someone on our side, is he not your own son-in-law?" "For an affront against our national codes, not only a son-in-law, even your own son should pay for his misdeeds." "Retract those words, Your Excellency." "Then, will you take responsibility in his stead?" "The reason behind the escape of government slaves from the premises... is to be found in his negligence in preparing for such possibility, not to mention the inadequate measures taken after the fact, demanding an immediate and resolute reproach." "Hence, 4th-ranked Commissioner Hwang Cheolwoong... shall hereby be deprived of his post, and be imprisoned for his malfeasance." "Let go!" "On whose orders are you acting?" "Just go ahead with it." "When things quiet down, wouldn't it all go back to normal?" "Government slaves attempting escape is a commonplace occurrence, how could I be so staunchly punished for it?" "A royal edict was already passed, so there is nothing I can do." "An edict?" "!" "Can you really dismiss a high officer over such trivial blunders?" "He was behind it." "Whom are you referring to?" "His Excellency the Left State Councilor!" "Just quietly follow your orders." "Could take a bath, for instance." "Master." "Seems like we have a new guest?" "We should have an initiation ceremony, then." "On his knees." "On his knees, he said!" "Are you knave their leader?" "K...nave?" "!" "Discipline him!" "He wants us to discipline him!" "How long has it been, since we've last seen such ferine little twerps?" "To welcome you here," "I'll give you a taste of the board prison's saltiest..." " Did you just call me?" " Ahh... not really." "Fools rush in... where angels fear to tread, they say." "You're dead." "Did he just hit me?" "Have you seen that?" "He sure hit me." "You!" "Hyungnim..." "Ohh..." "You're killing me, I beg you." "Spare us." "I really don't understand what you're trying to accomplish." "What do you think?" "I merely punished someone for his crimes." "You don't have ulterior motives, do you?" "Don't you worry, and proceed as the law commands." "Also, look for slave hunters who could help our cause around the capital." "Slave hunters, you said?" "Ehh..." "I wouldn't know where to start." "Feels like a worm prancing about." "Stop fooling around, and if you have nothing else to do, take this and do some sewing." "I don't know any of that." "Then, at least wipe the floor, you wench!" "Never really wiped the floor before, either." "Ohh!" " What is this?" " Give it to me." "What what what?" "Just give it." "You little..." "Wow!" "Pretty." "Who's this, your lover?" "Hey..." "Daegil..." "Aigoo, Daegil!" "Daegil..." "Seems like you were enjoying yourselves." "Forgive me." "Don't mind me, and finish what you started." "What's the occasion?" "I hear you got shot and was crippled..." "So I came to take a peek." "What son of a flippant slut keeps prattling that nonsense all the time?" "It barely grazed me." "Be grazed by shitwater or fall in it, the smell is the same, what's the matter with you?" "Anyhow, until I can get my hands on that fool, forget about any slave hunting, you've been warned." "Will it work?" "Someone was looking for you." "From high above." "Forget it." "I have no reason to meet anyone from "high above."" "Will you keep it up?" "I was the one commending you, don't just think about yourself alone." "A quick look at how Cheon Jiho and his scamps operate, and I recommended you instead." "So we're fifty/fifty on this, understood?" "Daegil." "What are you waiting for?" "Pay your respects." "Greetings." "I salute you." "Can you guess why you were brought here?" "Well, a slave hunter is what you were looking for, so would it not be about slaves?" "Any intention to take me up on this offer?" "What's the occasion?" "It concerns a runaway slave who escaped from the Training Command, a certain Song Taeha." "You can bring him back alive, or even only his corpse." "Should you accomplish your task," "I shall generously reward you." "You will forgive me, Your Excellency." "But I always had a hard time believing pledges of courtiers like you." "You cunning varlet..." "Want to be paid in advance?" "How could I ever dare to ask for that?" "It's just that, the laws of the street... dictate that it's half upfront, and half once the task is completed, so..." "Quite a daring little minion." "Would 500 nyang suffice?" "I was injured by a matchlock shot right here." "I wonder who is responsible for almost consigning me to the Grim Reaper." "Should I not first find out the culprit?" "How about a thousand?" "Will you still refuse?" "I really cannot." "Two thousand nyang." "That much money can change a man's existence, but will you still refuse?" "I believe no reward could ever be more precious than one's life." "A meager market scamp like you... would sure know how to bargain." "Fine." "How precious is this life of yours?" "You will pardon the daring insolence, but according to general market estimates, it seems like my scalp might be worth no less than five thousand nyang." "Of course it is nothing but some drunken market scamps' poppycock, so I would not give it much consideration." "Here's your five thousand nyang." "My gratitude, Your Excellency." "I will spare no effort to fulfill your wishes." "You have a month." "Miss that date, and your precious scalp will pay the price." "And should you fail, it will be the bargain which cost your life." "You needn't fret." "A smart witch can dance even without a broomstick." "It's a list of all the people who ordered firearms from the blacksmith." "Brigands and thieves as expected, but there's all sorts of hunters as well, so think we could find him following these leads?" "Let's go." "Where?" "Song Taeha." "To catch him." "And you let all these fools go?" "What are you, letting hornets loose to catch one fly?" "Don't always barge in." "If you really want to go, let's split our money first." "You never know when the next shot might send you to kingdom come." "Listen." "Know how much this deal is worth?" "No less than this, look." ""Five hundred"" "Five hu..." "You can't be..." "You can't be telling me it's 500 nyang?" "Better to feast one day than to get millet for a hundred." "Once we're done with this, we'll get over a hundred nyang each." " And me?" "I get a cut as well?" " Eonni!" " I love you!" " But I saved your life!" "Seems like a much too excessive sum for just one hit." "Why would you worry about that?" "Always so fearful..." "Because big money always sows the seeds of trouble." "Did you meet with a courtier, by any chance?" "I didn't." "But didn't you follow that fella wearing a gat?" "Well, looked like a yangban from the court, all right." "And he told you he would reward you with 500 nyang?" "Sure." "I trust you didn't bargain with him to raise the price?" "!" "Out of your mind?" "Would I bargain with people like that, and risk my neck?" "Ahh..." "What do you care anyway?" "Here..." "Here!" "Let's leave, before it's too late." "It's no less than 500 nyang!" "No matter what he promised you, never trust those courtiers." "What's this again?" "Your armor." "*korean traditional paper, much more resistant than normal ones" "I added starch to hanji* to make it." "It is as strong as cast iron, and as light as silk." "Do I have to wear this?" "Just think of it as quelling an elder's concerns." "Just wear it." "Fine with me." "Thank you, Eonni." "And me?" "Mine?" "There's none..." "General Choi." "Don't have faith in my skills?" "We're not jesting around with brigands." "He sharpened that blade on the battlefield." "The market is a battlefield as well." "One dominated by money." "Jumo!" "You're here?" "Not you." "Little Jumo!" "Jumo..." "Darling!" "Had lunch, I wonder?" "Ever seen someone in my trade eat on time?" "What brings you here?" "Want a drink?" "Think I came here for daytime drinking, you silly?" "I came to see you!" "This... is not sold at regular silk stores, it's really, really precious Qing silk I obtained from an interpreter I know." "Just so you could make yourself a nice garment." "For me?" "Why?" "If you mention "why" between man and woman..." "You'll hurt my feelings." "Just consider it a sincere gift on my behalf, can't you?" "*younger friend/colleague" "Good for you, Dongsaeng*." " Look at this color..." " I know!" "How dare you touch it..." "Still..." "I really have no intention of accepting this?" "!" "Aigoo, just take it." "I said I don't want to." "Silk would only be a burden, why should I?" "This is not "just" silk." "I gave you my heart." "And that's an even bigger burden." "I was just talking, think I meant it?" "How is it?" "Feel the difference?" "Aigoo!" "Hey!" "Daegil!" "Oh my!" "What now..." "Here..." "Don't misunderstand." "She and the painter seem to like each other, so that's why." "Ahh..." "Yes." "Take good care of yourself on this long journey." "I will be waiting for you." "Seeing as the grass is already dry, he must have left at least a day and a half ago." "By the way, there's no fooling you." "How did you know he'd come here?" "Try to use that brain of yours, every now and then." "He spent eight years with Crown Prince Sohyeon in Qing territory." "Would that bond vanish so easily?" "Ehh..." "Still, why would you head here first and risk so much?" "Those with noble blood... will seek their just cause, even if it kills them." "Clueless fools." "Let's take a look around." "General Choi." "Gusuibu*, right?" "*Golswaebo/Drynaria fortunei Smith (Chinese herb used to alleviate pain)" "Indeed." "Seems like his wounds are quite serious." "Told you I won that day." "He won't be far." "Here." "There?" "!" "If it's one day and a half, he passed from Hanyang on his way here, and seeing as he used gusuibu, he should barely be able to stand." "He will not have gone far anyway, so be it to get treated or on his way out, he surely passed from there." "Not to mention that unforked path." "Seolhwa." "*Gongmaeng:" "Confucius  Mencius" "I might not be aware of the teachings of the great sages*, but I know the laws of nature like no other." "How about tonight?" "Uh?" " Tonight?" " Yeah!" "What?" "Ehh..." "What do you think?" "Let's have some fun together and exercise under the moon." "I got it, so stop drooling." "Once they fall asleep, I'll come to wake you up, so..." "Ohh!" "Afraid it's that time of the month." "Wangson, let's go." "Did the menses get to your head?" "Who do you think you're riding with?" "Go ride with him." "That Orabeoni is all strange." "Every time I ride with him, he starts touching here and there." "You horny little prat..." "Hey!" "When did I ever?" "You're really something." "Who ever touched you?" "Take the load off the horse, you dumbass." "Ahh..." "Eonni..." "I didn't touch her!" "I owe you for all you've done." "I shall one day repay this debt of gratitude." "Goddess of Mercy." "Your wound is still fresh, so be careful." "What was your name again?" "Monk Myeongan." "I... am from Hanyang, my name is Song Taeha." "Judging by your countenance, great things await you in the future." "However, be mindful." "For with great ambitions come even greater challenges." "Let us have a word." "By any chance, have you seen this woman?" "Can't say." "Don't think I've ever seen her before." "Fine." "Shouldn't we head directly for the hermitage?" "We can leave no stone unturned." "We will have to split." "You follow me, while you take that path." "Yes, we shall meet at the hermitage." "Have you seen this woman before?" "No, never." "Who are you looking for?" "Looks quite like the woman who... came into our residence a while ago?" "!" "For "a while," when do you mean?" "Yesterday in the early morn?" "Can you bring us to her?" "If I do, what will you give me in return?" "Stop prattling and pave the way!" "Look at the intensity!" "Follow me." "What are you doing?" "You wench." "Are you playing games with us?" "The game... has just started." "General Choi, you go from the north." "Wangson, take the south." "I'll come from east." "He knows his way with that blade, so don't fool around." "All right?" "And me..." "Me?" "Keep an eye on the horses." "How much are you giving me?" "I'll find your mother." "My mother..." "How are you going to find her?" "Yesterday was the anniversary of his death." "Every year, do not forget to honor his passing." "The fruits, the cakes..." "Make sure not to neglect his offerings." "This is all I can give you." "I wish you enlightenment." "Goddess of Mercy." "Milady!" "What are you doing here..." "Let us go, Milady." "Naeuri is waiting for you with bated breath." "Go back." "Lord Choi has sent hunters on your trail." "Even if against your wishes, I am forced to escort you to safety." "If you lay a single finger on me," "I shall take my life right here." "Escort her." "Yes." "Let go." "How dare you lay your hands upon me?" "I said let me go!" "Free the way." "Forcing women to do something against their will... is not something a man would do." "It has nothing to do with you." "These are clan matters." "Let us go, Milady." "Let go..." "Let go." "Milady..." "Are you all right?" "I again am indebted to you." "You wore military garments on your way out, but I now see you dressed as a peasant?" "!" "I couldn't help it." "So..." "Where are you headed?" "I'm headed to Chungju." "If you take the western cliff, you'll find a bypath leading to the port." "It is an arduous path, but as there are no retrenchments on the way, you will be safe." "Once you cross the river, you can take the mountain path to Chungju." "Many people are inquiring about you." "I was already suspecting as such." "If you'll excuse me..." "Will you follow me?" " Found him?" " Nothing there." "Charlatan." "Long time no see." "Enough!" "Ahh..." "Really." "Have you been faring well?" "Ever seen anyone in the secular world fare well?" "It's pandemonium." "You are all brimming with desire, so how could it not be hell on earth?" "You achieved enlightenment, all right." "I have no time to prattle with you, so let's cut to the chase." "Seen him, right?" "He left here quite a while ago." "If you're lying, I'll set the entire place on fire." "As you please." "Nobody there." "What is it?" "You lost him?" "You couldn't catch him?" "The horses?" "We told you to keep an eye on them!" "Ahh..." "Whatever!" "It was so tiresome waiting all alone." "Which way did they go?" "Who knows..." "Wherever their path led them, I suppose." "How about those inside?" "Sometimes you find birds who lose their path along the way." "I see a few years perched in front of the Buddha made you wise, but don't forget the good old days when you gorged wine and ate meat all day." "Orabeoni." "You're a charlatan, aren't you?" "Ohh..." "This little Goddess of Mercy." "He sure is." "The likes of which you wouldn't find anywhere else." "How did you find out?" "I just smelled a woman's scent around him." "What?" "The shrine smelled of powder." "Did a woman tag along with him?" "It is but an infrequent visitor of these humble premises." "If she smelled her scent, she must have been here not long ago?" "!" "Why couldn't we meet her coming up?" "Particularly considering we came from north, south and east." "Ahhh..." "Shit, so fucking what?" "What are you, trying to rile me up?" "*old Namdaemun **lowest class in Joseon, usually butchers" "Want to taste how an angry Sungrye Gate* baekjeong**'s fist feels like?" "Ohh my..." "Look at him." "He's a bonafide vandal?" "!" "If you don't get the hell out of here right now, today, Buddha or whatever, we'll just see blood... until I'm forced out of the order!" "Got it?" "They went west, right?" "There's a bypath down there." "Uh?" "Goddess of Mercy." "That is nothing I am aware of." "Could it be otherwise?" "Let's go." "If the horses are not there, I'll just..." "They're worth a lot more than you." "Seen this woman?" " You are still looking for her?" " Just answer." "Have you or have you not?" "I worry about what the future holds for you." "Rest here a few days, and witness some salpuri* to cleanse your soul." "*shamanic dance to exorcise evil spirits" "Worry about yourself." "And if you happen to meet Jjakgwi from Mt." "Worak, send my regards." "Let's go catch them!" "Come on." "~ On The Next Episode Of ~ SLAVE ~@~ HUNTERS" "Song Taeha safely escaped, but they are hard on his trail." "It wouldn't be the Song Taeha I have known for so long if he didn't make it." "We shall soon have company." " See if you can smell the same here." " What am I, your hound?"
