"The nation falls into darkness..." "And the people await a new era..." "SWORD IN THE MOON" "Is he always that brutal?" "No one can beat his swordsmanship." "But still was it necessary?" "That's why he's called the human butcher" "Do you think your rebellion was a success?" "Your swordsmanship is still in tact." "Your Highness, I apologize for the disturbance." "I feel as if I have the whole world to see generals and loyalists like you." "Chosun Dynasty Night of Hanyang" "Many ministers are inquiring your help." "They are afraid that their lives are threatened" "Go inquire the Justice Ministry or somewhere else." "I thought this was the place in charge of guarding the king" "I myself will take over your job of guarding the King." "This is a murder case involving a high Minister." "It's a tragedy for the whole nation." "If you catch the perpetrator, your will be well rewarded." "A reward, I see..." "I bet you're more interested in it." "Watch your mouth." "Another Minister?" "Sir, this sight is too cruel for you to see." "We were like brothers." "I must see him one last time." "The heavens have punished him." "What are you talking about?" "I knew this day would come." "Take him outside." "Let go of me, you bastards." "Let go." "Let go of me now!" "Just wait and see." "The heavens will punish all of us." "Punish all of us..." "Minister!" "Minister!" "A ghost burning with vengeance must've done it." "Ghosts can't use a sword." "Execution of the dead." "Punishment for high treason is done by beheading the corpses of ancestors." "What do you mean by that?" "The time has come." "Shut that damn mouth of yours." "After the restoration, hundreds of officials were beheaded during a purge." "The two murdered Ministers took part in it." "and they were among the eight leaders who oversaw it." "So what are you saying?" "Do you have ten lives?" "Who doesn't know that?" "That's not what I meant." "Start with the relatives of the beheaded officials." "And keep watch over the remaining six Ministers." "Are you saying that one of the Ministers did it?" "Nonsense." "He's saying that we protect them well." "I don't care what happens to them." "All we need to do is carry out ourjobs." "We should quickly calm the people down." "Nonsense!" "Caring for the people ruins the country." "Bothersome people should be dealt with by force." "He's right." "This isn't the first time." "We have to get the source before things get out of hand." "Why make all this fuss over one assassin?" "I heard that... the assassin took orders from someone." "Can you trust me?" "Remember when we went to China together?" "At the time, I secretly prepared an assassin." "Why do such a thing?" "Why else?" "Only by doing so can we pave a bright way." "Who says we can't move get a better life?" "Damn it." "I haven't seen my wife's buttocks for over three days." "Sir, stop drinking." "What about your belly?" "What about it?" "It's sad having to spend my youth for people like this." "Are you referring to me?" "What are you doing here?" "Who the hell are you?" "What's going on?" "Who are you?" "What are you doing?" "I'm not the one you're after." "I'm the one who hired you." "Can't you speak Korean?" "Who are you?" "If you let me go, I'll pay you double." "Who's there?" "Stop where you are!" "The assassin!" "The assassin is here!" "Get him!" "Get him!" "This way." "He's over here." "Get him!" "Get him!" "Get him!" "Get him!" "He said he saw something strange on the assassin." "On his sword..." "There where words engraved on his sword." "It said 'Sword in The Moon'." "Who are you in a restricted area by the King's command." "Are you sacrificing your life for the King's command?" "Here it is." "What are you doing this late in the night?" "Getting ready for a war?" "I felt disgraced for not being strong enough." "Do you know what disgrace really is?" "You'll never know." "You've drunk a lot." "Give me a drink." "Do you remember Choi Ji-hwan?" "Is he alive?" "The people called our army 'Sword in the Moon'." "Why would they call us this?" "A sword in the moon prepares for a bright day." "It was the common people's hope for us to create a peaceful nation." "My lord, you're not trying to discard me." "Why do you speak such nonsense?" "I've served you for over 20 years." "I don't want to die like the other Ministers." "You fool." "Why would I want to kill you?" "Once we complete that bridge, then no one can will be able to look down on royalty." "Once this happens, then our relationship with the King will improve." "I was hoping it wasn't you." "Whether you've been hired, or for whatever reason, if you show up again," "I will kill you." "Is it true that you let the assassin slip away from you?" "Please restrain yourself from wine and woman for now." "How dare you?" "You're nothing but a concubine's son." "I see that you're clenching your sword." "Do you want to use it?" "A dog should never bite its owner even if it's mad." "Leave here this instant." "Wait." "You can quit if you're not confident." "Brushes are thrown away once they're all used up." "Do you want to rot here forever?" "Or find a way out to live?" "You are criminals of high treason and will die in jail, but you can be free if you catch that bastard." "Long time no see." "Do you feel better now?" "I guess my friend is dead." "He's back in his hometown." "My hometown is like here." "Around this time, you can see schools of salmons." "Do you know what their habits are?" "They instinctually know how to find their way back home" "I'm going to return to my hometown." "Come visit me one day." "They sure are taking long." "Let's see how long!" "They're fish food by now." "About half of you will return as palace guards." "And the rest of you will protect the borders." "I'm worried about our country." "The northern barbarians are getting stronger." "Foreigners are waiting to attack." "Rivalries are endless, and the court is full of frauds." "Here's to the bright era Sword in the Moon seeks!" "The Sword in the Moon!" "You seem very drunk." "Not at all." "You seem a lot drunker than me." "Do you know what?" "I like this place." "I have a very good friend." "And a teacher who's like a father." "Everyone's worried about where they'll go afterwards." "But I'm okay." "I'm not worried at all." "Since my life was never valuable." "I like the fire in your eyes." "What are you two doing here?" "Better?" " Who goes there?" " It's me, Shi-young." "I see that you're diligently practicing your martial arts." "Yes, father." "It's cold outside, so let's go in." "What are you two doing here?" "You've fallen very deeply for Shi-young." "Does it show that much?" "When we're underwater," "Do you know why I can hold my breath longer every time?" "Come on." "I told you I lost on purpose." "Then do you want go at it again?" "Try me anytime." "2 years later" "It's a letter from Seoul." "Really?" "You and Shi-young must be a pair." "You've all worked hard in these remote parts!" "A revolt has risen in Seoul and the whole country is in a crisis!" "Now, let's depart for Seoul!" "A revolt?" "Doesn't it sound strange?" "I have somewhere to go." "Watch my place." "You want me to disobey the King by joining hands with your group?" "No, I'm telling you to follow the whole." "The people expect Sword in the Moon to protect the nation." "So how could you expect us to fulfill your greed?" "You are out of line, General!" "Face the reality." "Is your idea of a peaceful nation made without force?" "I'll ask you one last time." "Will you join the rebellion or not?" "I don't know exactly what will happen yet." "But it's best for you to leave here." "I came all this way to tell you this." "I have to go back now." "How do you expect me to react if you just pop up like this?" "Listen to me carefully." "There's no time." "Even if you survive, you'll be sold as a whore." "I will do as you say, father." "General..." "Leave here." "Go to a place where no one can find you." "Since you made the wrong choice, all of your men will die." "Cut off their heads!" "I will join you." "Please save my men." "I will take the lead." "How can I trust you and your men to take the lead?" "Please trust me." "Kill them all!" "Wait!" "If I trust you, then what will you do for me?" "I give you my neck." "That neck of yours." "You're saying that it's mine forever?" "Then bring me Kim In's head." "So you're here to take my head." "Fine." "What can I do if this is our fate?" "Have you forgotten your promise?" "Behead him now." "I smell the blood in the palace all the way here." "Take my head!" "I said take it!" "If she won't talk, rip this bitch's body apart and throw it out on the street." "Yes, sir!" "Find the other one!" "Stop." "I should've killed you first." "If you have any memories left, kill me now." "He won't leave me alone." "I guess we're next to die." "Right?" "Would you rather kill yourself than be that afraid?" "You really are a human butcher." "What are you waiting for?" "Private Suh!" "You fool!" "What are you doing?" "If you pretend not to know, you must think everything will go away." "Then what are we?" "We followed you, so what are we now?" "To be the low-life soldiers that we are, we've killed our comrades." "You're drunk." "Forgive him." " Let's go." " No." "I'm sick of living like this." "Private Suh." "Private Suh." "Call the medic now!" "Private Suh." "What did you do?" "Private Suh." "It was great back in the old days." "Yes." "Private Suh, wake up." "Do you think it's right to have 20,000 soldiers for protection?" "That's not all." "Who are those damn replacements for the dead Ministers?" "You put idiots on those posts, and disregard the time we shed blood for the rebellion?" "I know how you feel." "But we can't turn our backs to the people." "We must calm the court quickly." "We must not repeat a history of bloodshed." "Our comrades..." "If I die, then isn't that also bloodshed?" "I'm the one who made you king." "How can you betray me?" "Reinforce my security, and tell the soldiers to come this way immediately." "Yes, sir." "I can't believe I put that idiot on the throne." "How dare he?" "What are you doing here this late?" "Goodness." "Why are you doing this?" "How dare you all do this to me?" "Don't you know who I am?" "This painting." "It's a painting of the King crossing the Han River." "Sir!" "Minister Jung Yeo-kyoon has died." "He has?" "But it wasn't the work of the assassin." "Also, Private Jang is dead." "You don't look so well." "A lot must be on your mind." "You're not like yourself." "Don't you think?" "When there's a change, there's always a sacrifice." "Nothing in this world is easily attainable." "That assassin, you see." "What he really wants is me." "I've waited five years to gain respect from the people." "Understand?" "For tomorrow's excursion, I've withstood everything." "You haven't forgotten our promise, right?" "That neck of yours... was mine ever since that day." "You will finally be executed." "So take care of yourself until your excursion tomorrow." "Do you think you can change the world by yourself?" "It's useless." "Give it up." "Useless?" "Maybe so." "I can't change the world alone." "We live and we die." "It's simply a repetition." "Nothing changes." "Nothing." "But we hoped for a different world." "Do you remember?" "The common people's hope for a peaceful nation." "A world of hope that our teacher taught us." "Now I don't have a world to return to." "This is all that I can do." "Sir, are you here?" "Sir." "Sir." "Sir!" "After that day, I strived for one thing." "To seek revenge." "I've never once looked back." "Sometimes" "I forget what my father looked like." "I don't know anymore." "I don't think I'm doing this just to avenge my father." "For five years you've never once looked into my eyes." "That's all that I hoped for." "If you hadn't saved me that day," "I wouldn't have survived." "When I first woke up in that pile of corpses," "I was ashamed of myself for not dying with my comrades" "But what I was ashamed most was myself who wanted to live... in that hell." "I ate my dying comrade's blood to survive." "Because I wanted to live." "Then I thought if I'm able to live through this," "then I'll kill the ones who caused this." "Stop!" "Look out!" "Put your sword down." "Then you can live." "For yourself" "I can die for you." "Ji-hwan." "Please let us go free." "I want to return to the old days." "Please, I beg you." "When we were underwater," "I could hold my breath for a long time because you were with me." "Because you were always by my side." "And even if I drowned," "I knew you would save me."
