"If they don't, one or the other may die." "May die?" "But it's the nature of relationships." "Once it starts, nothing we can do will stop it." "It can't be stopped." "One may die..." "Kangchi..!" " Chongjo." " Kangchi." "Chongjo." "That won't happen." "Taeso and Chongjo will never turn on me." "Taeso." "I'm here for your head." "Taeso." "Forgive me, Kangchi." "No, Taeso." "Don't." "No, please..." "No!" "Kangchi!" "Miss?" "You hear that?" "Hear...?" "No, I didn't." "Taeso!" "Taeso..." "Back." "Stand back." "Don't touch him." " Chongjo." " Stop!" "Don't come near me." "Go away." "Go!" "Chongjo." "Go." "No!" "Chongjo." "Chongjo." "What happened?" "What's going on here?" "Choe Kangchi..." "It was Choe..." "Miss Youl." "He's on the loose again." "I don't see Chongjo." "Chongjo, Chongjo... my sister..." "Chongjo..." "Kangchi is gone?" "Yes, Commander." "You didn't stop him?" "I entrusted him to you." "Well?" "He can't be contained." "If we try, something's bound to break." "The problem wasn't containment, it was your fortitude." "You knew I had plans for him." "Master, we have a problem." "What is it?" "We just got a report that Lord Jo's men are headed toward Neunggok Pass." "What?" "Neunggok?" "Is Kangchi headed that way?" "Yes, sir." "So he is." "Send for Kon." "We can't seem to locate Kon or Instructor Dam." "What?" "Lord Jo's men?" "That's right." "They're after Kangchi too?" "How did they know he was taking Neunggok Pass?" "We have to move." "We can't know where he'll go now." "I know." "Let's move." "Chongjo." "It's me." "Kangchi." "Kangchi?" "But how...?" "You're not human?" "I'm sorry... you had to see me like this." "Taeso?" "Where's Taeso?" "Did you kill him?" "Did you?" "Chongjo." "Stop!" "Don't come near me." "You're not Kangchi." "Kangchi isn't a monster." "He wouldn't kill my brother." "What the...?" "I know the Moonlight Garden is here somewhere." "Why can't I find it?" "Miss." "Hm?" "We just passed that." "Well, well, if it isn't the late Pak Musol's little brat?" "Still no news?" "Our people are still looking." "The longer it takes, the greater the risk to her." "We have to find her as soon as possible." "Madame, we don't know why but Lord Jo's men went to the mountain." "What?" "Lord Jo's men?" "Choe Kangchi did all this?" "Seeing is believing, look at us." "Pak Taeso tore off his bracelet, his eyes went creepy nuts and he turned into some kind of animal." "An animal?" "We unloaded on him, right?" "But it did no good." "Sohwa!" "Perhaps this is the child of Sohwa and Gu Wolyong." "It's been twenty years." "Kangchi is the right age." "I'll kill you all!" "It can't be." "How...?" "Where is Choe Kangchi now?" "I don't know." "You will tell me!" "She was wandering in the woods when I found her." "She looked lost." "My lord." "Taeso." "Chongjo, Chongjo." " Taeso." " Chongjo." "Taeso." "You thought you would get away?" "Did you imagine you could?" "Spare my sister." "I'll do anything, please..." "I don't need this." "Take him to the magistrate's office." "No." "Please don't." "Then tell me where Kangchi is." "Well?" "I can't remember." "The woods all look the same." "I wouldn't know where to start." "Then your brother goes to the gallows at dawn." " Take him away." " Sir." " Chongjo." " Taeso." "...Taeso..." "I need to go." "Wrap things up here and follow me." "And the girl?" "My quarters." "Right, let's go Wha...?" "Filthy..." "It's been too long, Swordmaster Dam." "So you're an admiral now?" "I heard you had retired from the capital." "And yet you didn't come say hello?" "I'm hurt." "How may I help you?" "Twenty years ago, why didn't you kill Sohwa?" "Why did you leave her alive to be a curse upon us?" "I do not cut down the helpless." "So you let a monster be born?" "I mean Choe Kangchi." "Ah-ha." "He is Sowha's child, isn't he?" "If you'll pardon me." "What was your reason for helping him?" "You killed his father, after all." "What are you up to exactly?" "Unhand him!" "Lower your weapons." "But Master..." "Do it." "It will be better if you just go." "I know you're working with Commander Yi." "The 5,000 bars of bullion..." "Your training camp here in the mountains..." "It all reeks of conspiracy." "If you and Commander Yi are plotting something you will have to answer for that." "Jinsong!" "Sound the gong!" "Someday you'll learn." "I'm not to be trifled with." "Stay here tonight." "You can leave for the mountain at dawn." "I suspect Lord Jo won't have as many men about." "We've been at this long enough." "We should get back." "I'm worried." "It must be hard on him without the talisman." "Stop!" "Don't come near me." "You're not Kangchi." "Kangchi isn't a monster." "Youl?" "Help me." "Please help me." "Mother..." "H-help me." "Please." "Why?" "You tried to kill me." "Why should I?" "I was wrong." "I deserve death." "Do you think begging forgiveness will absolve you?" "Scum like you, feeding off the innocent." "Killing you would do the world a favor." "So die." "I have a mother." "Help me!" "...Mother..." "Song." "Sir." "I'll relieve you." "Turn in." "No, sir, I'm fine." "Solid as a rock." "A half hour, no more" "Then you'll be relieved." "Yes, sir." "Who goes there?" "Hold it." "Who goes there?" "Who are you?" "Identify yourself." "Report." "Master, it's Choe Kangchi." "This isn't you, Kangchi." "Why come here with your fangs bared?" "I'm here to meet Youl." "Bring her to me." "Not while you look like this." "I have to see her!" "Stand down." "If you try to kill me, I'll kill you." "Now let him go!" "No." "You can't take men's lives." "He attacked me first." "Then that's that." "I have no choice." "One last time." "Release him." "No, Father!" "Youl." "Don't." "Lower your weapon." "He's attacking your student." "Stand aside." "Father!" "He's not a man." "Stand aside." "I won't." "You said it yourself." "There are no bad people." "Only bad situations." "It's the same thing." "His change isn't bad in itself." "It's just a bad situation." "You know that." " Youl." " So please..." "Lower your sword." "He did nothing wrong." "Nothing at all." "This is an order." "Stand aside." "Father..." "Are you deaf?" "Stand aside!" "No." "I won't stand aside." "Never." "Youl." "Once it starts, nothing we can do will stop it." "It can't be stopped." "I understood you were with someone." "She saw my true face." "And ran away." "Was that why?" "Not the spite and bloodlust in your eyes?" "The one I loved as a brother betrayed me." "The one I cared for threw stones at me." "The only family I ever knew..." "turned on me." "Didn't you know?" "Families can hurt us because they are so close." "We love and cherish them." "So the wounds cut deep." "She called me a monster." "Stop!" "Don't come near me." "Kangchi isn't a monster." "It doesn't matter how others see you." "What matters is how you see yourself." "I know how I see myself." "I'm not a man." "Just as the mountains can't change the sea I can't change being half-man and half-demon." "How do you choose to live?" "What choice do I have?" "I'm not one or the other, I'm half-and-half." "It has been said that with a friend to share your vision a love to share your heart and a nation to protect then, truly, you are a man." "I have no friend to share my vision no love to share my heart." "I'm tainted with demon blood." "It's as I said." "I've met many men unworthy to be called human." "Your choice to be a man has nothing to do with your blood." "It has everything to do with how you choose to live." "Now let me ask you again." "How will you choose to live?" "What do you truly want?" "Kangchi." "Well?" "What did Commander Yi say?" "What?" "Did he yell at you?" "Was he mad?" "Why?" "Why are you still so good to me?" "Because I'll do anything for you." "For love." "I want to be a man." "Not half-and-half." "As a whole person." "Why are you doing that?" "I have no idea." "It's not like you deserve it." "I saved someone like this once." "Maybe it will work for you." "Or not." "Mommy I can't believe..." "My lord, Pak Chongjo." "Enter." "Pour." "No." "That wasn't a request." "It was an order." "Order or not, I won't." "No." "And is it 'no' to discussing your brother?" "I have an offer for you." "Whether you accept it or not will decide your brother's fate in the morning." "Pour." "Be mine tonight." "Be mine and I will be yours." "Let me go." "Please." "What do you have to be coy about?" "Your body?" "Your pride?" "You killed my parents." "I would rather die!" "You think they died to save you?" "Oh, no, your father died protecting Choe Kangchi." "Your mother killed herself." "Who looked after you?" "You have to look out for yourself." "Discard what you must." "Take what you can." "By whatever means necessary." "There is no shame in wanting to live." "It is entirely natural." "Let me go." "Be mine." "And I will be yours." "Did you sleep well?" "You're up early." "Have you eaten?" "Father..." "Why?" "Kangchi is wrong for you." "You never should have gotten close." "He can turn human with the Book of the Nine." "Then his destiny will change." "So will the Venerable's prophecy." "Youl." "I won't stop living my life out of fear for what might be." "We must face the future, not run from it." "You taught me that." "Right, Dad?" "I won't stand aside." "Never." "Why are you still so good to me?" "I'll do anything for you." "For love." "My lord, Pak Taeso." "Don't be ashamed." "You saved your brother's life." "Taeso." "Chongjo, why are you...?" "Can't you tell?" "She saved your life." "Chongjo, no... you..." "Chongjo..." "Chongjo!" "Chongjo!" "Jo Kwanung, you...!" "Your orders?" "I'll kill you..." "I'll kill you!" "Ranting and raving when you're powerless..." "Pathetic." "This is your last chance." "Find out what Yi Sunshin is doing with my silver bullion." "Disappoint me again and the cost to your sister will be severe." "You...!" "Hold it." "How dare you leave without permission?" "What's with the glare?" "You're asking for it!" "Did you say my life would take a turn?" "If so, who would be the top courtesan here?" "What?" "What?" "Chongjo is back?" "Yes, she walked right in." "Chongjo, what happened?" "Where have you been?" "You said I could have dreams?" "Can I believe this isn't the end?" "What happened?" "Tell me." "I'll become a courtesan." "I want to start a new life as a courtesan." "Taeso." "Master." "What happened?" "Taeso..." "I'm here for your head." "No, please..." "No!" "Never forget." "You were a son to me." "Look after Taeso and Chongjo." "I wanted to be like my father." "I thought if I tried hard enough," "I could be the man he was." "But without him here," "I'm just weak, pathetic." "Living a life of anger unquenched, vengeance unfulfilled a life barely worth living." "Did you unleash Kangchi?" "How long are you going to whine?" "Look at me." "No." "Go away." "I said look at me." "Why are you scared to look at me?" "What?" "Scared I'll growl at you?" "Or is it because of the stupid hypnosis?" "What are you scared of?" "Please look at me, Taeso." "Look at me and I will explain everything." "What happened to me, why I looked like a monster." "How scared I am." "How terribly lonely." "I need to tell someone." "And you're all I've got." "Please." "Look at me." "Look at me, Taeso!" "Kangchi." "Yes." "Friends face each other, Taeso." "Kanchi's sincerity towards Taeso broke the hypnosis." "Yes, well, sincerity is stronger than any magic." "What are your plans now?" "We must be ready to war against Jo Kwanung." "War?" "I won't have him causing us any more pain." "That does my heart good." "Shall I gather the Four Pillars?" "The Four Pillars?" "Yes, the moving force behind the Dam camp." "The Four Pillars..." "Wait..." "I've heard about them." "Four martial arts masters of wealth and intelligence behind the village movement." "We tried to stamp them out but couldn't find them." "The Four Pillars are helping Yi Sunshin." "The Four Pillars and Yi Sunshin." "And the half-demon Choe Kangchi." "Yes?" "Visitors, my lord." "Oh?" "From the Inner Circle, they said." "So the time has come." "What's this?" "My father says I'm in charge of you." "You?" "In charge of me?" "We both are." "So what's with the beans?" "Count them." "With chopsticks." "What?" "You want to be a man?" "This is your first step." "Sounds like fun, huh?" "I see you made it." "I've been waiting." "1,233... 1,234..." "Kangchi." "Your real parents." "How did they die?" "1,235... 1,236..." "Any idea?" "Oops." "Argh." "Again." "1, 2, 3... 4, 5..." "And who have you brought with you?" "Wife of the late Lord Miyamoto." "And current head of the Inner Circle." "Wow." "Wha...?" "Hm?" "What?" "Subtitles provided by MBC"
