"Subtitles provided by MBC" "[Episode 06]" "Kangchi, why did you beat up your friends?" "They said I'm a river orphan." "Are you ashamed of being found on the river?" "Yes." "Listen, Kangchi." "I think of it as a blessing." "If you hadn't been on that river," "I'd never have met you." "My lord..." "Family isn't just blood." "It's in our hearts." "And in my heart, you're like a son to me." "Understand?" "I won't have you calling Kangchi and orphan." "When you tease him, you tease me." "All right?" "No!" "My lord." "My lord!" "My lord!" "My lord... my lord..." "Are you all right?" "My lord." "Never forget." "You were a son to me." "Look after Taeso and Chongjo." "My lord... my lord..." "Father..." "Father!" "Ma'am!" "No, my lord." "Stay with us." "Come back." "My lord!" "What...?" "I'm going to kill you." "All of you!" "Where is he?" "He was right here." "Did you see Kangchi?" "Did you?" "Father." "Father..." "Father." "Father!" "Father." "Father!" "Father!" "What?" "Something happened to Pak Musol?" "He met his fate last night." "The say he was guilty of treason." "What?" "Treason?" "Yes." "Treason." "Why?" "How?" "Apparently Pak Musol kept a ledger of rebel funds." "They're lining things up now." "Move out." " My lord." " My lord." "Move it along, you!" " Miss!" " Hold it." "What's the hold up?" "Come on." "Do as you're told." "How dare you?" "Unhand me." "Tramp!" " No!" " That no-good..." "The daughter of a traitor still putting on airs." "That's a laugh." "Pak Musol a traitor?" "Never!" " Right!" " Right!" "Are you siding with the traitors?" "The next one to speak loses his head." " Enough." "Move out." " Sir." "C'mon, you." "Well?" "I said move out." "The cow won't budge." "What?" "You four." "Push." "Sir." "Put your backs into it." "Stand aside." "You don't want to leave?" "You want to stay with us?" "It's over now." "It's time to go, darling." "Your pain and suffering..." "are in the past now." "Time to go." "Father..." "My lord." "My lord!" "My lord!" "Tsk-tsk-tsk." "Truly, life is but an empty dream." "Where is he anyway?" "Who?" "Who do you think?" "Choe Kangchi." "The entire Century House has been hung out to dry." "How is it he isn't with them?" "Maybe he ran off?" "Ran off?" "Choe Kangchi?" "That's right." "He ran off?" "Exactly." "He's the one that killed Lord Pak." "What?" "Ridiculous." "Choe Kangchi a murderer?" "So the prefecture office says." "But they saw Jo Kwangung's man stab him..." "They're manipulating the public." "What?" "The people of Yosu revered him." "Traitor or not, they want someone to pay for his death." "So they'll use Kangchi to cover up what happened." "He disappeared in the uproar." "It doesn't look good." "Two hundred in gold for the head of Choe Kangchi." "For anyone that catches him." "Who?" "Who?" "That no-good!" "How could he?" "That's why you don't pick babies up at the river." "That sleaze!" "200 in gold." "Where are you going?" "To find him?" "Where exactly?" "Where he is." "Don't make it worse." "Go to the training hall first." "No." "Talk it over with your father, make a plan." " No way." " Miss Youl." "It will be too late." "Talk, plan, it all takes too long." "Last night we could do nothing to save the old man." "If he's caught, we'll be helpless again." "He'll die like a dog." "Suppose you find him." "You find a suspected murdered, what then?" "Are you going to hide him?" "If I can." "And if you're arrested as an accomplice?" "That will involve your father and his training facility." "Did you think of that?" "First I have to find him." "After that I'll decide what to do." "Why?" "Why do you care so much?" "I owe him my life." "Twice over." "I can't help but care." "See?" "Halt." "We want this man for questioning." " Take him away." " Sir." "Wait." "Questioning?" "He doesn't know anything." " Stand aside." " Mother." " Take him away." " How dare you?" "What have we done?" "It's not enough my innocent husband was killed?" "Now you take my son?" "No, take me instead." "Kill me!" "Mother." "Mother, please." "Mother!" "I'll be all right." "Taeso." "Nothing will happen to me." "I won't do that to you." "Don't worry." "Taeso." " Take him away." " Sir." "No, Taeso, Taeso!" "My lady!" " Let's get started." " Sir." "Where did Kangchi get to anyway?" "Taeso." "Listen, listen, what are you doing to my boy?" "Open up!" "Quiet down." "Take me to see him." "He's done nothing." "Wait!" "Mother, please, don't." "Don't listen." "Be strong." "We have to be strong." "Kill me instead." "I can't take anymore." "Kill me instead!" "Taeso!" " My lady." " My lady." "Oh, no..." "At her age..." "My lady, wake up." "Be quiet!" "No more tears." "No crying." "We can't weaken." "We have to be strong." "We have to endure." "Kangchi, where are you?" "Kangchi...!" "So you're up." "How's your stomach?" "Hurts, I bet." "No!" "My lord." "How is Lord Pak?" "Chongjo?" "Taeso?" "The rest of the family?" "Why did you bring me here?" "I bought some food in the village." "You must be hungry." "There's nothing you can do now." "Going back won't change a thing." "Forget Century House." "Just lay low here for the next ten days." "Argh." "I don't know what you've been eating." "My only home, my only family, is Century House." "Forget it?" "And sit around here doing nothing?" "I'm the one saying 'argh' here." "I warn you of impending death and what do you do?" "You hear me but you won't listen." "What?" "I told you to leave Century House by sundown." "But did you listen?" "If you had, Lord Pak wouldn't have died." "This time you're going to listen." "Before it gets even worse." "No." "It was your mother's dying wish." "Come again?" "My mother?" "You knew my mother?" "Not just her." "I was your father's closest friend." "Tsk-tsk-tsk." "Just look at you." "You shouldn't have hesitated." "My father's life was threatened." "If I had my way, we would go to the police and let them sort it out." "You should have run to the police, father or not father." "But my father won't have it out of respect to a retired chancellor." "How could you be so hesitant when you're dealing with me?" "Tsk-tsk." "Your indecision caused your father's death." "Scum!" "I'll kill you for this." "I've heard that one before." "You'll pay for what you did to my father." "And they always say they'll kill me." "Now you know the true meaning of respect." "Any news on Choe Kangchi?" "We have men looking for him." "Nothing so far." "There was something about his eyes." "What was it?" "I believe it's related to that bracelet he wears." "It seems to glow red whenever he displays unique abilities." "I've heard about talismans that increase one's power." " That may be..." " Anyway." "I'm curious who he is." "I want him captured, not killed." "My lord." "My lord, the prefect." "Enter." "My lord." "The interrogation is over?" "He won't say anything." "He'll never confess to being with the rebels." "Who needs a confession?" "We have proof of treason." "Pak Musol's death and that Choe Kangchi, don't we?" "What will happen to Century House?" "By law the firstborn is put to death." "The family will be sold into slavery." "Of course, I will pay a reasonable price for the house itself." "You're buying Century House?" "I wanted something to pass the time while I'm out of the capital." "So it works out." "Yes, of course..." "And I believe I've heard rumblings of you being a magistrate?" "Sir?" "A magistrate?" "Not just that." "Perhaps even my own special councilor." "Oh, my lord." "No words can express my gratitude." "Don't worry about Century House." "I'll see that you can move in at your convenience." " Young lord." " Young lord." "Taeso." "Taeso." "Well?" "How is he?" "Bleeding and feverish." "Kangchi?" "What happened to him?" "He took off." "Ran away and left us." "The little ingrate." "Whose fault was it his lordship died?" "It's all Choe Kangchi's fault." " True." " Worthless ingrate." " Jerk." " I hate him." "Have you seen this man here at the north gate?" "Nope." "Who is he?" "Who?" "The scum that killed Pak Musol." "What?" "Him?" "Scum." "Scummy-scum." "If you see him, let me know." "If there's a bounty, you'll get your cut." "A bounty?" "I'd catch that sleaze for nothin', oh yes." "'Oh yes?" "'" "We're counting on you." "Bounty hunters by the look of them." "If he didn't use the north gate, he's in the hills." "Like a needle in the sand." "Relax." "He's bigger and louder than any needle." "He's a slob." "He'll leave a trail." "Should we start heading out?" "Will you ever stop being so stubborn?" "Sure." "When I'm dead." "I'll be stubborn when I'm a bent-over old granny." "Let's go." "Ugh, this walking for hours is killing me." "Shh." "Quietly, huh?" "But I'm sore and hungry." "One more word and whack!" "I nice grass sandwich." "Would it kill you to help out just once?" "EEP!" "Who are you?" "Um, why are you curious?" "Ah, that, well, you see..." "Wha...?" "ARGH!" "Get off the mountain." "Wait!" "50/50." "First or not, 50/50." "Half-and-half, fair-and-square." "Two is better than one, four is better than two, right?" "Less chatter, more running." "No." "Right... 60/40?" "You 60, me 40." "I'm feeling generous today." "Go." "Yeah, yeah, easy, big boy." "Going, going, if we gotta, dirty little..." "What are you lookin' at?" "Chop-chop!" "Miss!" "Miss Youl!" "Choe Kangchi?" "I guess we lost 'em, you think?" "Where were you?" "Hiding up here?" "Officer Dam." "You're mighty pretty up close." "Anyone would think you're a girl." "It's not just the village that's after you." "They've got wanted posters, bounty hunters, understand?" "You know swords but not people." "All the times I've saved you and not a word of thinks." "Choe Kangchi." "Keep it up and it will become a habit." "Being a twerp can become a habit, too." "I was hoping for a workout." "You'll do fine." "Will you two stop?" "One look at you're at it again." "And you, Choe Kangchi." "Now isn't the time." "Lord Pak's corpse has lain outside the gates for two days now." "His family is nearly dead from interrogations." "And everyone thinks you killed him and ran off." "Catching you is all anyone can think about." "We'll go someplace safe and rest." "Then we'll find a way to prove your innocence." "You lucked out today." "Just be grateful I didn't have time for you." "Where you headed?" "Century House, where else?" "Did you hear what I said?" "You're wanted for murder." "Just as well." "I have a mind to kill someone." "Today, tomorrow, murder's murder, all the same." "You want to get yourself killed?" "Ten days." "Lay low here for ten days." "Then I'll explain everything." "Your parents, how you ended up on the river, everything." "No." "I don't care." "What?" "They abandoned me 20 years ago." "Now I should forget the family that reared me as their own?" "They didn't abandon you." "It was beyond their control." "It would be." "Out of their control, sure." "But I don't care either way." "See?" "And what about your destiny?" "What destiny can a river orphan have?" "Let me go." "Don't keep me here." "Kangchi." "I have to save my family." "I've resolved to thank them one last time." "And then that's that." "Choe Kangchi." "That's that." "You've done all you can do." "Kangchi?" "Kangchi!" "Where have you been?" "Maleum, Hanno, they've all been arrested." "We've been forced to stay put for two days." "Where are they being held?" "The jail." "It must be awful for them." "Right." "Don't cry, Oman." "I'm here now." "What will you do?" "First I'll get them out of jail." "Huh?" "But if you can't, you'll be killed." "Don't worry." "It's not your fault." "Lord Pak's death." "You're not to blame." " Bring them out!" " Sir!" " My lady." " My lady." "Unhand me." "Where are you taking me?" "We have a ruling on the Pak clan." "Pak Musol's eldest son, Pak Taeso, will be executed tomorrow." "Executed?" "The ladies will be sold to a courtesan house." "The maids and servants sold into slavery." "I won't have it." "I refuse." "Huh?" "I insist on seeing the evidence against my father." "Condemned without a fair trial?" "That's not justice." "Send it to the capital inquisitors." "They'll clear my father's name." "We found a ledger." "What other proof do we need?" "You lay waste to a clan based on one ledger?" "What kind of justice is that?" "Don't you get it?" "Laws are made by those in power." "That's the only justice there is." "Which is why you will die tomorrow." " Move out." " Sir!" " Taeso." " Chongjo." "My lady." " Taeso." " Chongjo." "For what?" "Why!" " My lady!" " My lord!" "Wake up!" "My lord..." "Chongjo... my sister..." "My lord." "My lord...!" "As ordered, we made the ruling on the Pak clan." "Well done." "Now I'll handle the rest." "Sir?" "The rest?" "Choe Kangchi will be here tonight." "You were worried about Pak Taeso's confession?" "Suppose he's killed while trying to escape." "You see?" "Wait here." "We'll leave after... um... be right back..." "Help me." "Kangchi." "Help me..." "Kangchi." "I'm sorry." "You must be so scared." "Hang on." "I'll get you out." "Taeso first." "Chongjo." "They're going to execute him at dawn tomorrow." "He may die." " Please..." " You first." "There's no time." "If you let me out you may be caught before you can help him." "If that happens, we're lost." "Save Taeso first." " Chongjo." " Please." "No one else should be hurt." "No one else should die." "Wait for me." "I'll come for you." "Thank you, Kangchi." "Whatever happens, I'll come for you." "I'll wait." "I'll be waiting for you." "Who goes there?" "Kangchi!" "Kangchi..." "Kangchi..." "There's not time." "Get out, go on." "Kangchi, my boy!" "I'm sorry if you were worried, Father." "My boy... my little boy..." "Taeso?" "Passed out." "Blood poisoning from the torture." "There's no time." "I know." "Here." "I'll carry you." "If you please." "Leave me." "I'll slow you down." "I prefer a life of slavery to getting us all caught." "My lady." "Forget about me." "Save yourself." "And clear your father's name." "So his spirit may rest in peace." "I'll look protect them." "I'll protect Taeso and Chongjo..." "with my life." "I swear." "Swear?" "What good is that when I'm not even sure if you're human." "Please, Kangchi." "Protect Taeso..." "Chongjo... please..." "I will, my lady." "Now go." "I'll clear the way, then you..." "Don't worry." "I'll look after his lordship." "Kangchi, I have to stay with her ladyship." "Look after yourself." "And his lordship." " My lord." " My lord." "Be safe." "My lady." "We don't have time for this." "I'll take care of them." " You..." " No." "Take care of his lordship." "I have a score to settle with him." "Do what you have to for his lordship." "We owe Lord Pak that much." "We'll meet again." "To the right." "Now we can get down to business." "I'll handle him." "You get Choe Kangchi." "What now?" "Is it over?" "Over?" "Never." "Who are you?" "You need a hiding place?" "Relax." "Lord Pak did a lot for me." "Live well." "That's all the payment I need." "Officer Dam." "Can you hide him for a day or two?" "My men will be here by then." "Need you ask?" "You and I will distract them." "They should be safe." "Officer Dam." "I mean, Young Master Dam." "Being grateful is enough." "You don't have to say it." "Let's move." "Sir." "Don't worry." "I'll look after him." "Please do." "Over there!" "Chongyo... wait for me..." "I'm coming for you." "Sorry about that." "Thanks for waiting." "Bwa-ha-hah." "Kangchi." "Now then, shall we?" "No." "Hurry, Kangchi." "Kangchi!" "Ready to try your luck?" "It's that bracelet of his." "You need to get it off to catch him." "Choe Kangchi." "Stop." "No more." "I have to go." "Chongjo is waiting." "What's happening?" "Am I dying?" "My whole body... is on fire." "Choe Kangchi." "Choe Kangchi." "Subtitles provided by MBC"
