"Episode 19" "I have no time to squander with you." "Hey..." "Slave." "Let me ask you something." "Who are you going to rescue?" "The king's grandson?" "Or is it Eonnyeon?" "Did I not tell you?" "That I know no woman by that name." "You're not all that different, are you?" "You and those vile yangban." "I must have told you not to interfere?" "!" "You worry about shaking your own arm." "I will deal with mine." "Confess your provenience." "I am the sister of Kim Seonghwan from Eomok-Gol." "My name is Kim Hyewon." "Eomok-Gol..." "We might not be able to flaunt virtue or influence, but how could you treat a woman on a visit to her relatives... like a criminal?" "If that's her clan..." "Is that not the man who took his life when approached by slave hunters?" "Yes." "Did you verify his genealogy to ascertain if they were slaves or not?" "We could not complete our investigation, *from mid-to-late Joseon, affluent clans would often buy their yangban status but it indeed does seem that they purchased their status*." "Not to mention the fact that this woman... ran away after her wedding ceremony." "Does the local administration look like such a trifling obstacle?" "I'd worry about my own fettle, if I were you..." "Did you wench run away on your wedding day?" "Wench?" "!" "May you address me with respect." "Why would someone who fled her wedding carry a moppet like yours?" "I recall suggesting you address me with respect?" "!" "You sure can feign nobility!" "Did you wench say your brother's name is Kim Seonghwan?" " I did." " An influential yangban indeed..." "Your brother Kim Seonghwan..." "Who are you?" " Show yourself." " If I did..." "I'm afraid I'd haunt your worst nightmares, so I'm sparing you." "Let that woman go at once." "Think you will survive after causing a commotion here?" "I got it, so let her go." "Hey..." "Your Excellency." "How mortifying would it be to stop at such a meager post and croak?" "Should make it far..." "Tell your men to drop their weapons and let that woman go." "What are you waiting for?" "Guard the criminal and take this varmint off of me!" "Proceed at once!" "Want to see His Excellency's head roll between your legs?" "Apprehend him!" "Think the paltry threats you use on the streets would intimidate them?" "Never forget that many people donning official garments would... happily stake their lives to fulfill their calling." "How do you explain all this?" "Trying to flee now wouldn't be wise." "We will have to seek refuge at least until sunset." "Would turning your cup upside down change the world?" "Go ahead." "Would anyone not able to turn a mere cup upside down... muster enough resolve to change the world?" "Send me back where General Song is being detained." "That slave you call Song might already be wandering the Hades by now." "What are you trying to say?" "Not adept at listening, I see." "It makes no sense." "He would need a condemning edict from the Board of Punishments, and the court should be informed in advance." "How could you complete all those procedures in a single day?" "Would killing a paltry slave require any procedure?" "You slattern!" "Who told you to fill my cup?" "I shall ask you again." "Did you have any true follower by your side?" "Those who forever walk under someone else's shadows... shall never find the light to kindle their own path." "There must be a list of people who joined your cause." "Inscribe your entire past upon that paper, and kindle your own path together with me." "Let others walk in the shadows of your grandiose accolades." "~ One ~" "Would this answer your curiosity?" "I was mistaken about you." "You may return home." "Song Taeha perished, and all the followers who gathered at Unju Temple passed away." "Did you believe that gaining control of a country... would be as easy as a moppet's jestful whim?" "Return to your abode, and spend the rest of your days... as a nameless scholar." "Chan." "Accord traveling expenses to our guest." "Yes." "I trust thirty nyang would suffice?" "You slattern." "How dare you belittle me?" "Then..." "Were you perchance seeking my respect?" "Did you not say that the court is haunted by the rotten stench of corruption?" "Was that enough to console you, after continued failure at the national examinations?" "Shut that vile gob!" "Was the rancor against a world which doesn't acknowledge your feats... what moved you to gather adherents?" "His Excellency had long been seeking the right man." "Why would he possibly have summoned you here?" "Could you not take advantage of his influence to fulfill your aspirations?" "Noble intents alone shall not bring you this world's respect." "Power and influence must be achieved as well." "What happened to you?" "Why did you reappear together, after disappearing that day?" "Once the sun sets, I will head for Hanyang." "Don't make me laugh." "Why would you?" "Run right into the tiger's claws." "I need to find out what happened to Jo Seonbinim." ""What happened"?" "!" "Did anything go wrong?" "Should anything have gone astray," "I will meet with the Crown Prince, and will petition him to absolve His Highness." "Don't give me any of that revolting malarkey and just quietly hide." "It has nothing to do with you." "You know all those cudgel-carrying puppets?" "!" "They're sniffing after us all over the peninsula." "We need to avoid the downpours for now." "If we head for Mount Worak's summit, we will be safe there." "We must at least secure our survival." "Naeuri..." "Why are you eluding his questions?" "We ransacked all over the place, but found neither traces nor leads." "The criminals might have not escaped the capital yet, and have found refuge somewhere." "Whilst inspecting the outskirts, look at private abodes within the capital as well." "Yes." " Send a messenger to the capital." " Yes." "I kept fruitlessly awaiting for days, thinking something had happened to you." "I therefore planned to leave His Highness in my brother's care, and then find you." "But it is a relief we could meet in this manner." "The more I think about it..." "I really have no right to remain by your side." "I came to the conclusion that, once I brought His Highness back to you," "I would leave your side." "Dear..." "I deceived you." "It's an inspection." "Let's go." "His Highness..." "Those inspections are quite thorough." "We must leave no traces." "Here..." "There..." "There..." "Here..." "Here you go..." "Here it is." "Those damned yangban, really..." "They don't move a finger and always force this torment on us..." "But..." "If this happens while I'm shooting, then it's trouble?" "!" "Great endeavor or whatever, I ought to just..." "With these wondrous sights, could we covet the Garden of Heaven?" "Who knew frolicking the morn away by the waterside... could be such delectable relish?" "!" "O, seize the moment, for never again you will, if waters once passed by and the quandaries of time impel the mill!" "Indeed we should, yes!" "Boys!" "Will you hasten or not?" " Uh?" "!" " It's coming, Naeuri." "Fine, stuff yourselves all you want." "You will soon miss days like this." "By the end of the month, your world will end at last." "At the end of the month, our uprising will begin." "Uprising means... rising in unison." "That's what happens to men when those dancing troupe wenches are around!" "So more people will gather with us?" "In a few days, all our compeers will gather, Hyungnim." "We will begin by attacking the Tribute Bureau at the end of the month, and setting the Slave Tribunal on fire." "If it's the Tribute Bureau, it's that place inside the palace where all tributes to the court are stored." "And as for the Slave Tribunal, isn't that place where they store registers for all government slaves?" "!" "So we're setting that on fire?" "It's war!" "Should the Tribute Bureau be set on fire, depleting the court of provisions, plundering will begin all over the peninsula, and insurrections will ensue in the process." "And once the Slave Tribunal is attacked, all the government slaves from every local administration will rise in revolt." "Just as they deal with two threats from outside and within, wouldn't infiltrating the palace be as swift as jumping a fence, Hyungnim?" "Sure!" "It'd be over!" "Then, the yangban will spend all night twisting straw, in our stead!" "Don't forget the firewood!" "Since we're there, leave the farming to them as well!" "And wipe manure, at that!" "In the winter, they'll catch fish for us." "By the way..." "I was wondering if we could do something else first..." "Yes, Hyungnim." "Go ahead and speak." "That..." "So..." "I need to rescue someone." "It's another keeper's female slave." "Hyungnim." "The clan we are attacking tonight has been... filled with military officials for generations." "They impose martial law upon their slaves as well, and have even slain a few of them." "We need to deal with this kind of oppression first, if we wish for our followers to gain resolve." "That poor soul is facing such misery..." "Would her misery be exclusive?" "Once our uprising succeeds, all the people living in misery will become Joseon's new keepers." "Fine." "But, who is it you so fervently want to rescue?" "Her name is Banjjak." "It's this female slave who was recently sold to your keeper." "That..." "What, the one who was exchanged with a cow recently?" "I know who, I know." "She's facing such misery..." "So I thought we could kill your keeper." "Mine?" "!" "Don't kill my keeper." "I will." "He's mine." "But..." "If I stay here, I'll freeze to death myself." "I hear a thieving varmint infiltrated this fellow's abode, and even burned all the slave registers?" "!" "Even his clan varlets escaped with that varmint..." "Those spurious scalawags, is this not a deplorable act?" "He sheltered them with a father's devotion, but they repay benevolence with such disdainful despite..." "What a most reproachable misdeed." "Indeed..." "With those registers vanishing in the flames of oblivion, even slave hunters will suffer, should we not let the follies of others accord us wisdom?" "For starters, by voicing the yangban's grievances through memorials." " A most discerning proposal!" " But also... by copying those same slave registers, preparing for any future quandary." "A genial stratagem indeed!" "Spare the rod and spoil the varlet!" "Those minions shall never appreciate the hand that feeds them." "Under the same master we might have flourished, but many more are the things I have learned from you." "Your sagacity and keen discernment know no peer!" "Merry nectars in the cold seasons are elixirs of long life, so have a drink yourselves." "What are you waiting for?" "Bring us some more side dishes." "Quite the morsel, indeed." "Here..." "What is this?" "We caught a few more fish, so eat it later." "Here you go." "What's in here?" "A few ones for you as well." "I grilled them all, so take them home." "Resolve oozes from your brush." "You're a master calligrapher." "His Majesty wishes to surround himself with talented specimen such as you." "I leave all procedures to you." "Yes." "When shall he join office?" "From the morrow, of course." "Manifold responsibilities await you." "Let's get going." "When on the run, it's best not to leave obvious traces." "We are going in different directions, so let us move separately." "Don't even think about it." "If they find out it's the Royal Successor or whatever he is, didn't you say there would be officers all over the place waiting for us?" "So that can only mean we will have to hide him where nobody can find us." "I have no time to squander arguing with you." "Our destinations are different anyhow." "I will leave as well." "And where will you go?" "I'm concerned about my brother," "and did I not tell you already?" "Must I repeat it once again?" "Do it next time." "I'm afraid avoiding or deferring the matter will not solve it." "For both you and I already know about it." "We keep avoiding the matter in denial." "Is that not the case?" "My name... was Eonnyeon." "I know no woman by that name." "That woman named Eonnyeon... has passed away already." "And she was reborn under the name of Kim Hyewon." "I deceived you all this time." "For I so direly feared the word "slave,"" "I did not even have the courage to utter it." "I no longer wish to hear that." "Did I not say I know no woman named Eonnyeon?" "But now you do." "I told you I loved a man." "That man said he would gain a position in the court, and change the world." "By creating a world with no discrimination between yangban and commoners." "For the sake of a single woman, that man had the courage to change the world." "All that resolve and fervent passion... were more than I ever deserved." "Kim..." "Hyewon." "Despite believing he was dead," "I could never forget him." "And then I met you." "I did not merely marry you because you were a yangban." "But, exactly because you are," "I think it is time I leave you." "You said you would strive to create a better world." "I trust it will not be a world where, because of their status, people will have to so cruelly sacrifice their feelings." "Make sure nobody has to endure what I did." "Brief as our meeting has been," "I leave you after only causing you quandaries." "I wish Your Highness health and prosperity as well." "Don't call me "Naeuri," I'm your spouse." "I could never... dare to call you that." "For, looking back," "I would have no right to do so." "I might have shared victuals with you, but our roots are clearly different, so how dare you address me with insolence?" "Unless I first change, the world will never do." "Unless I first change, the world will never do." "Will you await?" "Await what?" "I pledged to myself I would awaken to the anguish of our people," "but I never envisioned a world without slavery, or the same traditional tenets which guided us." "You needn't struggle to do so." "Even while experiencing slavery firsthand," "I could not think of that." "No matter how long it takes, until the day when I walk on the righteous path, will you aid and await me?" "Did we not promise?" "That we would never betray our fealty for each other." "Leaving in this manner is no fealty!" "What brings you here?" "Does anyone need a particular reason to visit his son-in-law?" "Chills down my spine afflict me every time I hear those words." "Why would such a deep rift torment our relationship?" "Is there any order you wish to issue?" "Head to Suwon." "Former Royal Secretary Lee Jaejun... was exposed as the ringleader behind this treacherous complot." "Shouldn't the State Tribunal be entrusted with such matters?" "Should you not covet some accolades, at this point?" "You should secure your future with meritorious service." "You would eradicate former Councilor Im Youngho's faction at the root, and the court shall never again tout the Royal Successor's name in vain." "I am trailing Song Taeha and the Royal Successor's whereabouts." "They might still be alive, but my initial goals have been fulfilled." "Forgive my intrusion." "No." "Is there anything you wish to report?" "Yes." "The sister of yangban Kim Seonghwan from Eomok-Gol in Yeoju... was captured by one of our inspection units, but after the intrusion of two sinister individuals, managed to escape." "So a local administration capitulates under a mere few men's wits?" "After confronting their semblances with our sketches, they appeared to be a slave named Song, and a slave hunter named Lee." "They are tagging along?" "!" "We speculate as such." "Also, the captured woman had a child aged four at her side..." "Gather a team of five men including yourself." "We shall head for Yeoju." " Yes." " Did I not tell you to head for Suwon?" "I will not go there." "So you will defy my commands?" "I have already lost my name and position." "Only when this fight is over will I regain my identity." "This is an inspection." "Will you show us your tags?" "I have heard of your repute on the streets." "Do you know anything about a slave hunter named Lee?" "For Lee..." "Are you referring to Lee Daegil?" "Speak." "Yes." "By the way, have you fully recovered?" "Daunting an endeavor as it was, I rescued Your Excellency... away from the claws of demise all on my own." "I refused in earnest, but His Excellency the Left State Councilor... kept clamoring for my name..." "Stern as vengeance are his orders, so I reluctantly told him my name, but..." "Tell me what you know about Lee Daegil." "Yes!" "Tell me, is His Excellency faring well?" "Ahh..." "Paying a visit myself would be much too cumbersome in his position, although not doing so would be equally mortifying..." "Ahh..." "Yes." "So what I was saying, this Lee Daegil is by all means..." "Have you all had contact with slave hunter Lee Daegil?" "Aigoo..." "Naeuri!" "Those are mortifying utterances!" "Contact?" "!" "Contact is when..." "Ehh Ehh!" "Who do you think you're facing, yapping that impudent trap?" "!" "Impudent it might have been, but the trap spoke the truth..." "The only contact we had with that son of a swine they call Daegil... was by stealing a glance on the street and nothing more." "Chief Oh, you're really something." "Shut those gobs." "Slave hunter Lee Daegil disappeared along with slave Song Taeha." "Whatever the reason, they vanished at the same time, so we can only speculate they're tagging along." "Should you confess everything you know about him, you will be awarded generously, but conceal anything from me, and harsh punishment shall await you." "Is that clear?" " Yes..." " Yes." "Ahh!" "Right." "Now that I think about it, a few clues do come to mind." "Stop there!" "With skills like his, they will not harm him." "But he refuses to listen." "Heed my words." "Look for a certain Jjakgwi at the summit of Mount Worak." "Is that clear?" "Mount Worak's summit." "Young Ma..." "You must survive at all cost." "Young Master..." "His Highness?" "!" "But, where is Eopbok?" "He said he'd go shit and then follow us right away?" "!" "Shit?" "!" "Then?" "!" "Guess he went ahead and will be waiting for us." "Mother, I'm scared..." "I know." "I went through the same thing myself." "Still, I'm alive, isn't it?" "What are you waiting for?" "How much shit are we talking about here?" "!" "Show up, already." "Oh my!" "What have you been doing?" "Wait..." "Look at all this sweat." "How stubborn could that shit be..." "I must compliment you for tonight." "You confessed nothing but the truth, uh?" "And I was even commended by His Excellency." "Because, seriously..." "Just because you said what Jjakgwi or that butcher from Namdaemun did, would they try to harm you or anything of that sort?" "By the way, I trust nothing happened to my General Choi?" "!" "Ahh..." "Would anyone passing by the latrine smell any different?" "You can trust something happened to him." "What now?" "!" "What could have possibly happened?" "Daegil, that fool barked up the wrong tree." "Uh?" "!" "That foolish little twat went ahead and captured him anyway..." "So this Song Taeha or something was really something, I guess?" "!" "What are you prattling about?" "So what I'm trying to say is..." "There must be a reason why the situation got all garbled, and stuff..." "No need to stress out the two earthworms inside that skull, since you've done your share of good deeds for the day." "Have a good res..." "Aigoo, looks like you won't get much sleep." "Are you leaving?" "Time to go." "Wonder if I tied this a little too tight..." "Chief Oh!" "Say..." "How about some of this..." " What could this be?" "!" " What do you think?" "Just a token of our long-lasting friendship, and stuff..." "Because, seriously..." "If it weren't for our Chief Oh, think of what we would have faced today." "And just because of that..." "And you know how things go, what goes around comes around." "It's a small token of gratitude, so I will accept it for now." "You!" "From here on in, live as your heart commands." "I will always have your back." "Thought he'd break my shoulder..." "Oh?" "!" "And you are?" "How about you?" ""How about you"?" "!" "Did they cut your tongue at the market?" "Is that all?" "It's all." "Aigoo, I ought to... *archaic form of Ajumma" "Ajumeoni*, I'm back." "Ohh..." "Right." "But, tell me." "Are you here by yourself?" "Yes." "But..." "Didn't Daegil Orabeoni come here?" "Daegil..." "Why did you come alone?" "And General Choi?" "Where did Daegil Orabeoni go?" "I asked you where General Choi is." "I don't know." "You don't?" "Why wouldn't you?" "Darling..." "What's wrong with you?" "I'll be damned, uh?" "!" "Should I alert the capital bureau, or not?" "Have you gone batty?" "Why would you alert them?" "Ahh..." "Didn't they say the slightest involvement with Daegil should..." "You're crazy, completely, utterly crazy." "People should show some loyalty, uh?" "Just worry about the tables." "What is this, uh?" "Did I get busy with her to serve at the tables all night?" "Uh?" "!" "The hell am I, a male Jumo?" "!" "Uh?" "!" "Jumo!" "Yes!" "Coming..." "So the girl went right down that alley... but she suddenly turned and..." "Ohh!" "Something was staring at her!" "So?" "!" "So!" "This enormous centipede, with feelers the size of a buffalo's horn... and at least ten paces long," "was slowly approaching that poor girl." "The drool spurting out of the centipede's mouth... was dropping all over her hair, and..." "Ehh..." "How can a centipede drool?" "It sure does!" "I've seen it myself." "They drool..." "Drool all over the place!" "That's right." "As the drool was dropping all over, with those sharp claws of his, the centipede was probing her flesh." "And it was then that the centipede's mouth... suddenly opened." "With fangs five times the size of a raging wild boar, right as this monster was piercing the damsel's flesh!" "Right at that moment!" ""You knave!" echoed through." "The most handsome man in the village... was running towards the beast, spear in hand." "Ehh..." "A sword would look much better." "Our hero dropped his spear, and drew his mighty blade in earnest." ""You loathsome centipede, you!"" ""Taste the bitter blade of defeat!"" "Our hero leapt in the air like a force of nature." "Sword in hand, he landed on top of the centipede's head." "And as he struck down upon it with great vengeance," " the centipede's head just..." " Ajeosshi." "You tell the same story every day, it's no fun." "Ohh..." "Is that so?" "Know any other old story?" "Ohh..." "Sure." "That..." "Let's see..." "An old story..." "Old story..." "Ohh!" "Tomorrow." "Ahh..." "Why is my belly suddenly hurting?" "!" "Look!" "Jjakgwi Eonni." "Finish the story!" "Tomorrow..." "Ahh..." "It was so interesting..." "What's with you?" "It's cold." "Let's go back in." "Daegil Orabeoni is still alive, isn't he?" "How could we know that?" "Nobody seems to have seen him." "But if nobody has seen his body, it can only mean he's alive." "Or he's not, and they still haven't seen it." "Whatever the case, he's not going to come back here." "Dongsaeng." "Ask her "that"..." "What happened to my General Choi?" "One day he suddenly vanished..." "Why aren't you speaking?" "Why did he vanish?" "Where did he go?" "He wasn't captured or anything, was he?" "He just disappeared..." "Saying he wouldn't slave hunt anymore..." "Then!" "Then, is he never going to come back here?" "He said when the time comes, he would contact you." "Where?" "Here?" "Or Daegil?" "Don't worry too much." "General Choi Orabeoni must be doing fine." "Didn't Daegil Orabeoni tell you where he would go?" "If he survived, he must have gone where they can't find him." "If you have nowhere else to go, head to Mount Worak." "If you reach the summit, you'll find a fella named Jjakgwi." "Once you reach that place, you can settle down." "Ajumeoni, lend me a horse." "Horse?" "!" "To do what?" "I will pay you." "It might not be much, but it's all I have." "It's because I have a place in mind." "Both Wangson Orabeoni and General Choi might be there as well." "Really?" "Where is that?" "Wait..." "What are you doing here?" "What did I do wrong?" "What will people think if they see me in this state?" "!" "Why, wanted to go tell everything to Chief Oh?" "Ahh..." "Really." "I'll be damned, uh?" "!" "I'm a man!" "Uh?" "!" "Living together, ever seen a man keep his mouth shut in this situation?" "Liv..." "Living together?" "!" "And when did we ever?" "Just go." "Just go out there and cut some firewood." "Ahh..." "Really, I can't take it anymore." "Where?" "Where is that place?" "Should I come with you?" "If I find them there, I'll send you word." "Where is Daegil Ajeosshi?" "When is he coming?" "He's coming, isn't he?" "Eunshil." "What?" "So, what happens then?" "To what?" "Did he cut the centipede's head?" "Ahh..." "I just... was curious." "By the way, why are you looking for Daegil Eonni?" "I have my reasons." "Ahh..." "By the way, what happened between Jjakgwi Ajeosshi and Daegil Ajeosshi?" "Jjakgwi was captured by the capital bureau, but Daegil rescued him at the last minute." "Captured why?" "Daegil squealed about him, telling the authorities that Jjakgwi provided stolen goods to a band of vandals." "First he frames him, and then he comes to his rescue?" "He was sorry for cutting his ear." "And why did he cut his ear?" "Amongst the stolen goods was Daegil's house deed." "And why would a house deed be there?" "The butcher from Sungnye Gate stole it from Cheon Jiho." "And who's that?" "It's a long story." "Uh?" "!" "We'll finish tomorrow." " Do you kno..." " Eonni!" "Wait for me." "What's with all the kiddos in here?" "!" "If you see General Choi, you must tell him." "That she got busy with the grampa over here, and is doing fine." "Ahh..." "He's not that old..." "I'm all alone now, and always waiting for him..." "Yes, Ajumeoni." "Also..." "Use this for traveling expenses, and if anything happens, don't hesitate to contact us." "And if you manage to talk to General Choi..." "Tell him I was just forced into this situation." "Uh?" "!" "You got that?" "If you meet Daegil." "Uh?" "!" "Tell him we said nothing and will be loyal to the end!" "Just said that, uh?" "And as for the butcher from Sungnye Gate and all that, not a single mention." "Just like that, uh?" "You even know the butcher from Sungnye Gate?" "I sure don't!" "Hey!" "Keep up the insolence to the end, will you?" "Then, I will get going, Ajumeoni." " Fine." " Aigoo, I ought to..." "Just go get her a horse." "Yes..." "Go." "Be careful." "Naeuri..." "You needn't worry." "He's trustworthy." "Naeuri." "Forgive me." "For not escorting His Highness as I should have." "You needn't blame yourself." "I still don't know much about that man, but I'm sure he will not foment any ulterior motives." "I believe so as well." "Also..." "If it's for your sake, he will do anything." "Show it." "Are these the two men?" "Indeed." "Who on earth are they?" "We heard there were confrontations in the eventide as well, is that right?" "Yes." "We trailed them all the way past the capital, but we lost all their traces on the way." "Where was that?" "They split towards Chungju and Jangwon." "Fine." "Aren't Chungju and Jangwon in opposite directions?" "Did you not listen?" "There is talebearing suggesting that people involved... are gathering at Mount Worak, so they must have headed for Chungju." "Stop crying!" "Should I tear that little tongue out of your trap?" "Enough!" "Your Highness..." "Dealing with moppets is much harder than slave hunting." "Refrain from addressing His Highness with such insolence." "You are one of Joseon's people as well." "Know where you are?" "A land of angry demons even His Majesty has given up on." "I'm Lee Daegil from Dongdaemun!" "I know you're hiding, so let's come out." "So this "safe place" you suggested... was nothing more than a vandal's nest?" "Think it's just an ordinary vandal's nest?" "It's the very best in all of Joseon." "The number of secret royal emissaries they dealt with... is astounding." "Jjakgwi!" "Ahhh..." "Jjakgwi!" "Daegil!" "Daegil is here?" "!" "Eonni?" "!" "Ahh..." "My leg..." "Get up." "I knew he'd come." "Hey..." "Jjakgwi!" " Been a while." " Indeed!" "My Daegil..." "You know I missed you, don't you?" " And why?" " Why do you think?" "Ear!" " What ear?" " We need to cut it!" "Which one?" "Right or left?" "Both of them!" "Quite greedy, aren't you?" "You know, life?" "Half of it is greed, the other half is desire!" "That sounds great!" "Did Buddha say that?" "When are you going to cut them?" "No need to wait." "We can do it now." "~ On The Next Episode Of ~ SLAVE ~@~ HUNTERS" "Nobody was looking for Daegil?" "!" "Are you trying to scheme something?" "Troops will come here as well, one day." "They are at the summit." "We must secure the Royal Successor at all cost." "Running away would be better, but think of all those slave hunters." "There's this place where runaway slaves gather." " You'll kill me!" " Just speak." "We will slay Jjakgwi, and you will be rewarded." "Still wandering in search of Eonnyeon or whatever that wench is called?" "That woman is Eonnyeon?" "!" "Eonni, let's go at it." "That's the best thing I've heard all day." " Are you that thief known as Jjakgwi?" " The blade won't make you a good fighter." "We can't keep on running away." "Will you remain here alone for a while?" "It's Mount Worak's summit." "Let's go."
