Let us get rid of the rebel army!

To overturn a government, you must earn the hearts of the people.

However, everything is up to that man,

Hong Gil Dong.

Your Majesty,

give us the royal seal and move to the Palace of the Crown Prince.

Prince Pyung Sung, you scum.

I used to hang out with you...

and treat you as my friend.

How dare you?

Your Majesty,

you did not act like a King before,

but you should...

go down like one.

I will also...

die as your woman.

Nok Su.

Take them away.

- Yes, master. - Yes, master.

How dare you?

You used to be the King's dog who did all the dirty work.

And now, you dare betray the King so that you can live?

You scum!

Nok Su. Nok Su!

- Your Majesty. - Nok Su!

Nok Su!

Nok Su. Nok Su!

Nok Su!

Nok Su.

Nok Su.

Nok Su.

Nok Su.

(Hong)

(The Rebel)

Your Majesty.

They elected Prince Jin Sung as the next King.

They already received...

the Queen Dowager's approval.

Now,

you must change out of your robes.

Come out of your chamber!

Your Majesty. Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Go safely.

And you?

Now,

I can no longer serve you.

No. No.

They said I could take a few eunuchs. Ja Won, I...

I cannot live without you. Come with me.

- Escort him away. - Ja Won.

Ja Won!

You fools. How dare you?

Where are you taking me?

Take care, Your Majesty.

Where are you taking me?

You saved my life once.

I am aware of that.

I will repay that debt today.

I will gather some provisions. Go far away from here.

You were the King's favorite concubine.

You will die if you stay.

Leaving you...

and choosing the King...

I made those choices.

Whether I live or die...

will also be my choice.

Gil Dong.

You owe me nothing.

You say I saved your life,

but you saved my soul.

The day you called me an artist...

was the day I stopped being a prostitute...

and became an artist.

They are the King's women.

They are just as bad.

Good riddance.

It is a dream, it is a dream

All of this

Is a dream

You and I are

- Both in the same dream - Yes.

This and that are all

Part of the dream

I awoke from a dream and found myself in another dream

The dream I awoke from was also a dream

I was born in a dream and lived in a dream

Now, I am slowly

Dying in my dream

Everything is futile

What is the point of dreaming a dream

When there is nothing

Worth living for?

What a joke.

Oh, dear me

Now, I am going, I am leaving

What was that?

What a noise. Move on.

Let us go on our way.

There is nothing to see.

Come along. Let us go.

They were all just as evil.

She is Jang Nok Su!

She is the witch who sided with the King...

to suck us all dry!

Take this.

The world has changed!

The world has changed! We overthrew the King!

You fools! You are all fools!

You are worse than animals!

You cannot overthrow the King!

You will ruin our nation! We will all be ruined!

Your Majesty.

Where are you going, Your Majesty?

You are my only subject.

Only you are loyal to me.

Your Majesty!

Let go of me, you fool!

Your Majesty, you cannot leave us.

Your Majesty!

Is this what you...

wished to show me?

Yes.

Smile.

Mock me all you want and rejoice.

What is there to rejoice on such a sad day as this?

These were the same people who...

cheered for you the day you came to power.

Look at them now.

Every one of them...

is now mocking you.

Is this not sad?

Do you not regret...

missing the opportunity?

He is paying for what he did to us.

Good riddance.

He had it coming.

I am glad this has happened.

He deserved this. I am sure of it.

Wait.

What is that?

Jang Nok Su was stoned to death by the people.

The stones they threw now make up her grave.

What?

Nok Su.

Nok Su.

My Nok Su.

- Nok Su. - Move on.

Nok Su.

Nok Su. Nok Su.

Nok Su.

Nok Su.

Nok Su.

You fools.

It was you.

You were the one...

behind the rebel forces.

You coddled and covered for an evil king.

You cannot get out so easily.

If you wish to die, you may.

But...

if you wish to pay by living,

come and see me.

Master.

I was right. I knew it was you.

Master, I made a contribution.

I opened the palace gate...

and told them where the King was.

You will not be recognized for that contribution.

Master.

Your mother recited...

the dethroned queen's letter to the ousted King.

You are too much of a risk for the rebels to keep close.

Master.

Bring me some watermelon.

Some watermelon from Ming.

Ja Won.

Ja Won.

Is anyone there?

Help me. Is anyone out there?

You have a fever.

Now, no one is left by your side.

Those who rebelled...

are all men you once kept close.

You adored Prince Jin Sung...

and now, he is on the throne.

Prince Pyung Sung, whom you also cherished,

led the rebels.

You failed...

to make even one person remain loyal to you.

You said you would tame the people with violence.

You said you would show the power of fear.

Despite using violence and striking fear in people,

you failed to persuade those closest to you.

Do you know why?

Violence...

is a method used by cowards.

Who would trust and follow a coward?

Had it not been for you,

I...

and my politics...

would have succeeded.

I could have succeeded!

What you did...

was not politics. It was just...

the writhing of a coward.

Yi Yung.

I will tell you the name of your crime.

Your crime is...

failing to recognize what should really come first.

You mocked our morals.

It is treachery.

This is my order.

Annihilate those who went against our morals.

Abolish treachery.

Annihilate those who went against our morals.

Abolish treachery.

We must abolish treachery.

Ja Won, Ja Won.

Behead those who went against our morals and put up a sign.

Do it now.

Yi Yung.

I will tell you the name of your crime.

Your crime is...

failing to recognize what should really come first.

You mocked our morals.

Is it treachery.

- Yes! - We are back.

- They are here. - They are here.

What happened?

The rebel army...

got rid of the King.

The King has been replaced.

So the King that killed my son has been replaced?

The King that killed the people of Hyangjumok has been replaced?

Yes. Last night, there was a big fire at the palace.

- A fire? - A fire?

The word of Hyangjumok has spread,

and it must have started small fires in the people's hearts.

As people with small fires gathered,

it became a big fire.

And that big fire attacked the King.

You have brought today's victory.

Gil Dong,

you have been through a lot.

I...

saw you tied up in front of the palace.

You were there?

I saw you...

with blood all over your body.

It hurt me...

to see you hurt like that.

But Gil Dong,

I will tell our baby everything.

How you and your brothers...

fought with all their strength...

and that they got rid of the King.

What do you mean, our baby?

Ga Ryung.

I brought you some food.

Ga Ryung is as healthy as ever.

I did not ask you.

I thought you would like to know.

We might leave Hyangjumok soon.

That is why I think you should go back to town with me.

I said no.

See? I told you. You need to see a doctor.

Ok Ran.

Sang Hwa.

What did you do to her?

We should go.

We have come to get rid of the traitors.

Ok Ran.

Get them!

Gil Dong.

Ok Ran is hurt.

Ok Ran.

Are you all right?

The doctor says the wound is not too deep.

Are you all right?

Thank you.

He helped us.

I do not need thanking.

Wait.

Before you go, at least eat with us.

Come.

The soup is getting cold.

Why did you all come here?

Is it your first time watching someone eat?

It is our first time watching Mo Ri eat.

I am curious as to how well he can eat.

You should not interrupt people when they are eating.

Stop it.

I know.

You want us to eat first?

- No way. - Really?

Kkeut Swe.

It is fine. We did not poison it.

- Why? - Kkeut Swe.

It is so delicious. Have some.

- It is all right. - Go on.

By the way, how did you meet these assailants in the mountains?

They did not fight like random bandits.

They said...

they were here to get rid of the traitors.

It must be the teacher.

Song Do Hwan. It must be him.

Song Do Hwan must be behind...

Prince Pyung Sung.

We will be leaving Hyangjumok.

Which is why I am offering you to leave with us.

I would never get involved with your group.

Then why were you wandering near Hyangjumok...

and was noticed by Ok Ran?

Should I guess?

You were curious about...

our lives.

My brothers could become yours.

They all saw how you let me live...

although you could have killed me.

They...

will also welcome you.

Do not play games with me.

The fact that...

your father tried to kill you and that Heo Tae Hak betrayed you...

are not your fault.

It was not because you were insufficient or pathetic.

You were just unlucky.

Mo Ri.

I want you...

to come with us.

The King has come down from his throne.

How can you leave this village?

- Stay with us. - Yes.

- Stay with us. - Stay here.

Just stay.

- Stay here. - Do not go.

- Do not leave. - Stay.

Goodness.

My gosh.

We must leave.

Hyangjumok will be safe now that the king has changed,

but there are men who are still chasing after us.

So if we stay here, we will put...

Hyangjumok in danger again.

Then...

what if we miss you?

What can we do?

I will make a promise.

We will...

meet again.

Everyone, thank you for everything.

No, we thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Please come back. - Thank you.

Yes, thank you.

Come here.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you.

Be well.

Goodness.

When His Highness gives you food, sit upright and taste it.

When His Highness gives you food, sit upright and taste it.

When His Highness gives raw food, cook it and serve your ancestors.

My students here...

will assist Prince Pyung Sung with everything they have.

Everything that happened...

in 1498 and how they took in everyone were...

all done by my students.

So...

leave the national affairs to my students.

Sit upright and taste it.

Stay behind the King...

and enjoy your power which is as strong as his.

When I enjoy my power behind the King,

you will probably want to get the power that is even bigger.

There he is.

- My goodness. - He is here.

- Goodness. - Come this way.

- My goodness. - Welcome.

- My gosh. - They are all coming.

Mo Ri.

This is the place where we all stay.

How does it look?

The king has changed,

but Song Do Hwan is still behind the rebellious forces.

We must put an end to this.

Mo Ri.

Will you help us?

This way.

I told you...

that I will bring Chief Hong and his people.

- Yes. - Open it.

Who is it?

Is Master Song behind Prince Pyung Sung?

How did you know?

I was once Song Do Hwan's student.

I know of his ways of moving people.

Do you know how Prince Choong Won died?

He was shot down by the arrows of the men who were locked up...

by the Sugwidan.

Prince Pyung Sung. If you do not define a line with that man,

you may end up...

dying like Prince Choong Won.

We must take in Gil Dong and his followers now.

The former king was kicked out for not thinking much of them.

Why must I listen to you?

Prince Pyung Sung.

Song Do Hwan.

It is right to punish a sinner who breaks moral principles.

However, your crime is also big for...

setting up a private organization called the Sugwidan...

to take matters into your own hands.

You must pay for your crimes.

Shut the place down and take him away.

- Yes, master. - Yes, master.

Prince Pyung Sung. Prince Pyung Sung.

Wait. What...

What are you doing?

What? No... No!

What are you doing? Let go of me!

No!

No, this is my legacy.

This is my legacy which will last a thousand years!

No! No!

Where will you head to?

I started to take a liking to you.

It is sad to see you go.

There will come a day when we meet again.

I told you.

I will...

have my eyes on you.

Follow him. Find out where he is hiding.

You will become as much of a trouble...

as Song Do Hwan could be.

That is how he became a district magistrate.

Yes, you are right.

Chief Hong and his people are here.

- Hello. - He is back.

- My goodness. - Hi.

How have you been?

Great.

- Welcome back. - My goodness.

Hey, I missed you.

Gil Dong.

- Where is my husband? - Right.

- Ga Ryung, I am sorry. - Gil Dong was...

I knew this would happen.

- What do we do? - Goodness.

Ga Ryung!

Gil Dong!

Do not run. You are pregnant.

She fell for that. Everyone fell for that.

Why are you crying?

Because I hate you.

Goodness. Come here.

Make way, my wife is coming through.

- My goodness. - Keep it down.

After that day,

no one ever saw Hong Chum Ji in Joseon again.

Everyone was sad,

speculating that Hong Chum Ji...

had left the country...

to go somewhere far away...

because he was sick of this country.

You must think your master is a joke.

Do not beat him. Please do not beat him.

Move away! Move!

How dare you look into your master's eyes?

Although Jeong Hak is now a servant,

he once served the king.

You cannot treat him like this.

Did she catch a plague?

Take her and throw her out.

- Mother. - Jeong Hak.

Jeong Hak.

- Mother. - Jeong Hak.

My lady, my mother is still alive!

How could you...

Mother.

Mother! Mother!

Mother!

I made a mistake.

While Ah Mo Gae was in jail,

I should have killed Gil Dong and all of his family.

Mother.

I got married...

when I was 15 years old.

When I was young,

I always wanted to go and see Mount Geumgang.

But people said a woman is not supposed to go out on her own,

so I kept it to myself.

My job was...

to give birth to a son and to make him into a high official.

But Gil Dong...

If it was not for him,

you would have been one of the high officials,

and I would have been a mother who made...

her son into a high official.

This is all because of them.

How dare they...

How dare they...

How dare they...

Mother...

Mother...

Mother...

How could you...

tell them to throw out...

my mother who was not even dead?

I will kill you today...

and get my revenge for my mother!

Die!

- Is anyone there? - Die!

Is anyone there? Stop him!

Let me go! Let me go!

Gil Dong.

Gil Dong, you...

Soo Hak.

It is difficult to live...

as a servant,

is it not?

You lived as a servant for only five years.

But my father...

and his father...

lived their entire lives as servants.

However, people like you get shocked and say...

we should not be screaming from pain...

when we are beaten.

How does it feel to be beaten?

It hurts, you wish to cry,

and you get angry.

That is only natural.

If you are a human,

you cannot be patient...

when you are treated as such.

Hong Gil Dong.

Hong Gil Dong.

Master Song.

Help us. How can we survive through this?

Master Song.

Yes.

That can happen again.

I will put the three highest officials below my feet...

and rule the entire world.

I will raise up a student...

and get him into the palace to see if I have a chance.

After that...

Such a day will never come again.

You. It is you.

You...

How dare you come?

The King is...

helping other officials to keep the meritorious subjects in check.

However, do you know who those officials are?

They are Kim Jong Jik's students.

You are the one person whom those students despise the most.

You used Jo Jeong Hak and me in the year of 1498...

to kick out Kim Jong Jik's students from the Royal Court.

Your days are over.

You. How dare you...

You.

How dare you...

You are...

Are you still looking for someone who is desperate?

People who are desperate tend to keep away from insignificant people.

Hong Chum Ji went from the east to the west in a flash.

That is how he found out people were tormented because of the evil King.

That night, he barged into the palace.

Hong Chum Ji drove the evil people out and disappeared...

What does Hong Chum Ji look like?

I heard he has huge, evil eyes...

and is scary like a ghost.

- He has a long beard. - His ears are pointy.

No.

He is very good looking.

The people who missed him very much said...

he and his people hid away in a remote island...

to establish a country for themselves.

However, he and his people...

did not live in...

My goodness.

Your storybook is the best way to put the kids to sleep.

The best.

Gil Dong.

I have a question.

Since when did you...

I mean,

I was a little girl to you at first.

When was the first time...

you found me attractive?

Well...

I do not remember.

But...

I do remember...

when I fell in love...

with you.

When you fell asleep...

while clutching my clothes,

I realized then...

that I would have...

to love and protect this little girl...

as long as I live.

Ga Ryung.

I love you.

If you lose, I will never see you again.

Do not worry.

If you win, I will make you honey rice cake.

I must win then.

Mo Ri, are you even trying?

Did you even eat anything today?

I did not.

I am betting on Gil Dong.

This is a bet...

to find out which Mighty Child is the strongest.

What do you think?

I have heard rumors...

that Gil Dong has been trying to make a third child...

and that as a result, he is weak.

- A bet on Mo Ri. - Mo Ri.

Mo Ri does not need to use his strength at night...

and still has his power.

- So I am betting on him. - All right.

Really?

- Give me back my money. - I do not want to.

- Stop it. - He is weakened now. Give it back.

All right. Start!

- Go! - Go!

The group of Hong Chum Ji planted seeds in spring,

got together in summer under the big tree to avoid the heat,

and drank hot alcohol together in winter.

They were having the time of their lives.

No one...

ever guessed that they were the Hong Chum Ji...

that overturned Joseon in the past.

Have you heard?

Prince Pyung Sung...

has brought a performer to Taeju, Yeonsan,

and plays every day.

No. That is not all.

Every day, wagons full of bribes...

have been seen entering his house.

Oh, my.

But these Hong Chum Ji that lived quietly...

showed themselves...

whenever the people cried for help.

No, no!

You are...

I heard you had a heungcheong serve you at home.

And that wagons full of bribes...

are seen every day at your door.

Have you forgotten?

I told you we would be watching.

Then the people realized...

that Hong Chum Ji...

has never...

left their side.

(Hong Chum Ji has never left their side.)

(The Story of Hong Chum Ji)

After we left, Park Won Jong died of an illness.

And all the servants of the new government...

including Sung Hee An and Yoo Sun Jeong have died of illness.

There will probably be a new ruler.

Just like that, another ruler...

has fallen.

While it took a long time to fall,

it was also but a moment.

Is it not?

All of us here,

during that long period of time,

have never parted each other.

That is incredible.

Now, it must be the end.

Well...

Do you want to end it?

There is no end.

If someone were to hurt one of us,

we would not be able to refrain from getting back at them.

That is right.

It is just the beginning for us, Hong Chum Ji.

Yes. That sounds about right.

Let us get noisy and do great things once again.

For us, Hong Chum Ji,

it is just the beginning.

All right. It is...

just the beginning!

Let us go!

We are...

- the Noisy Hongs! - the Noisy Hongs!

Are you here?

- Oh, my. - People would think it is CGI.

We shot the scene so well.

(Thank you for watching The Rebel.)

Cut, okay!
