[Episode 4]

Jun, Yaksagol is over the next hill. How long has it been?

Ten years, more or less.

Remember the criminal that was exiled to live here?

I remember.

It's completely deserted.

Who are you?

Where am I? Who are you?

Even if you adore me, don't come back here.

This is a place of expatriation.

Looking for me?

Why are you following me?

When did your mother pass away?

When I was born.

This is monkey grass.

I followed my father around since I was young.

My name is Heo Jun.

Mi-hyeon, Im Mi-hyeon.

Are we friends now?

Father has never seen someone our age with so much pent-up rage.

What's your story?

Jun!

Mi-hyeon!

Mi-hyeon! Mi-hyeon!

What was the name of the exile's daughter?

Im Mi-hyeon.

I remember her being quite pretty.

Jun, you still haven't gotten over her?

Fool.

Jun, they're here.

Let's do this.

We can't accept your offer.

You need this more than we do.

Am I wrong?

Um, Jun, let's make the deal and get out of here--

Shut your trap!

Let me repeat, we don't accept.

Guards will be making their rounds soon.

You lose out by wasting time.

Kil-sang.

Set them on fire.

Real funny.

Do it now!

Oh my god! What are you doing?

- Stand back. - Jun...

Are you mad?

- Put out the fire! - Sir!

How much do you want?

You know exactly how much we want.

Ten silver coins for twenty silk rolls.

Are thirty coins enough?

I've dealt with many traders, but never a man like you.

Since we'll be working together, I should know your name.

I'm Heo Jun.

Most people know me as Mad Dog in these parts.

Let's get moving!

- Sir. - Sir.

Well? Let's up the ante.

I fold.

I'm in.

All in.

Aw, screw it.

Let's do this.

Mine.

Total of five.

Not so quick.

Looks like Lady Luck is fashionably late to my party.

Eight, eat that!

- Alright! - Win!

Hold up, don't jump the gun.

A full ten.

This was fun.

My waist pouch is nice and heavy.

Did you see that fool's face turn a furious purple?

What now?

Hand over the pouch.

Talk about a lack of sportsmanship.

You can't demand money you lost while gambling.

We know you cheated.

Do you even know who you tried to bamboozle?

Sure do, Mad Dog of Yongcheon.

Or should I say, Heo Jun, the magistrate's son?

Being the magistrate's son don't make you a noble.

It's more important what kind of mother popped you out.

That's right, that decides everything!

Watch your filthy mouth, you scumbag!

Ow.

Oh, blood.

What the hell--!

- Let's go. - Sir.

Ow!

What a workout.

That's me, Mad Dog of Yongcheon.

Son of the magistrate, son of a concubine.

Give me back my money, jerk!

It's all yours.

You better run!

Step off, the show's over!

Get outta here!

Yang-tae.

Off to the gisaeng house.

Wait, the one with Ok-hwa?

Ok-hwa? Who's that?

The retired gisaeng who served the investigator from Pyongyang.

She has the softest thighs and smells of sugar.

Let's go.

A moment, Jun.

Why, hello, Physician Jang. What brings you here?

I need to discuss something with you in private.

How about my house?

Let's go.

Kil-sang, save us a room. Yang-tae, come with me.

What is it?

The lady's been waiting since morning to see you.

Tell her to wait longer. I have other urgent business.

Excuse me!

What is more urgent to a physician than a patient?

Please, my father is deathly ill.

You're not from around here. Where are you from?

What does it matter where I'm from?

I can wait.

Don't mind the lass. Can't treat any Tom, Dick and Harry.

If you want a diagnosis, wait a little longer.

Ugh, it smells rotten in here.

This is a very urgent order. I wrote down everything I need.

Hey, monkey grass.

And rehmannia root.

You even have rhinoceros horns.

Impressive.

Hey, Yang-tae, know what this is?

How would I know?

It's a seal's penis.

What?

Isn't that right?

Years of illegal trade have made you half a physician.

Is something wrong? Did I offend you in any way?

No, no.

Rumor has it you're turning a profit with the medicine we smuggled in.

People from all over are lined up to buy the ingredients from China.

We're not putting our lives at stake so you can line your pockets.

Fine, I'll reward you handsomely when the deals go through.

Stop being so darn vague and give it to us straight.

If everything goes well, you get an extra fifty silver coins.

Yang-tae, when's the next deal?

End of the month, Jun.

Wait, what are you eating?

The seal penis.

You ignoramus.

That was a dried poisonous snake. You could die from the poison.

Huh?

Oh, I'm gonna die.

You're such a dumb lug.

I almost died because of your physician complex.

Let's go.

Ugh, that scumbag.

How is he?

A bad liver, jaundice and excessive thirst.

Is there any way to cure him?

It's too late.

We came a long way to see you. Please save my father.

It's useless to save his liver because of his other conditions.

There is one way...

What is it?

It's possible medicine from China might save him.

What do I do? I'll do anything it takes.

Drink up. Jun.

Ok-hwa, I'll pay you five coins if you can get Jun to sleep with you.

I couldn't seduce this unfeeling man if you offered a hundred.

Let me see. Are you a eunuch?

Watch your tongue, wench! That's not why I reject you.

I don't like your looks, that's why.

I seduced the Pyongyang investigator. What's wrong with my looks?

Instead of asking me, take a look in the mirror.

- But seriously, Jun. - What?

- You sure you're fully functional? - What do you mean?

All you ever do is drink. I've never seen you bed a gisaeng.

- Didn't you know? - What?

Jun still hasn't forgotten his old puppy love.

Really? Who is it?

Shut your traps and drink.

Hey.

Good day.

- You're drunk. - Yup, yup.

The gisaeng house has the best liquor.

Careful, careful.

I'll take you next time. Completely my treat.

The magistrate will be furious if he sees you.

Enough drunken antics. Get going.

Right, he'll be furious if he sees me drunk.

Hopping mad.

He drinks every night when his mother lives like a servant.

He'll never amount to anything. Too bad, tsk, tsk.

Ugh, you reek of booze.

Did you drink all night again?

Hey, Brother.

Everyone in Yongcheon knows you're the village thug.

Stop ruining Father's reputation and get yourself together.

Why don't you worry about yourself?

I'm not the only famous one around here.

You're the village idiot who fails the state exam every time.

What?

You impudent brat. What did you say?

Let go.

You've gone mad. Got a death wish?

If I went mad, you'd die first.

You...!

Let go of me.

Good-for-nothing, what are you doing?

Jun. Let go of him at once.

Mother, did you see how atrociously he treated me?

You wretched ingrate!

Come, we'll tell my husband exactly what you did!

Come with me!

Milady, forgive him. Please forgive him this once.

Stay out of this!

Don't just stand there, beg for forgiveness!

You wouldn't ask for forgiveness. You've never learned proper behavior!

Come with me, ingrate! We'll go to His Lordship!

Mother, calm down.

I'll be humiliated if Father finds out that he overpowered me.

Mark my words, do this again and I won't let you get away with it!

Let's go!

Why do you live like this?

Everyone tells me you're a wastrel, always hanging out with a rough crowd.

Why live like that? Why are you so lost?

Think of the grace and kindness His Lordship has shown us.

You mustn't live like this.

What grace and what kindness?

Jun.

The grace and kindness of treating you like a slave?

Don't say such things. This is how I serve His Lordship.

When was the last time you spent time with him?

I don't even remember the last time I saw him.

He's forgotten all about us. Why should we honor him?

You asked why I live the way I do?

What else can I possibly do?

What choice do I have?

Jun.

Jun...

What am I doing?

There's no reason to hide in fear.

You have no place among these people.

Hearing you say "father" infuriates me. Refer to him as "His Lordship."

Listen carefully.

Your first crime was desiring to study alongside noblemen like us.

Brat, I heard your mother was a lowly slave.

Second, a concubine's offspring can't take the state exam.

So why master the Myeongsimbogam or the Seven Chinese Classics?

Your crime is humiliating us when you can't even take the state exam!

Ditched his kid for a promotion. What a deadbeat father.

Watch what you say. My father is not that kind of man.

Then why did he leave you to die?

Isn't it obvious?

If you were his legitimate son, this would've never happened.

It's because you're a concubine's son.

That's how it is, kid!

What does it matter if your father is a noble?

You're still just one of us, and nothing but excess baggage.

Understand?

Fate is so cruel! Argh!

Our fault for believing a concubine's son.

What do we do now?

Jun.

What news?

Odogot Port and Yeowoon Port are crawling with guards and soldiers.

Darn it.

A new head general has been assigned to the Euiju area.

He's from Pyongyang. He's been grilling the soldiers.

They're not letting anyone pass by the coast or the river docks.

Beheaded a soldier who drank on the job. Another went to the gisaeng house--

Enough.

We'll abandon today's trade and look for another way.

Let's go.

Who's there?

Get him!

Halt!

Stop!

Put down your bags and come with me.

Where are we going?

We're going to save that guy.

Why would we save a stranger?

We might get caught, too.

Fools, why do you think he's here at this ungodly hour?

I'm sure he works for another illegal trader.

Don't you want to know who's elbowing in on our territory?

Shut up and follow me.

Darn it!

Come here!

Hurry up and grab him.

Let's go!

Who are you and where are you from?

You're here for an illegal trade. Who do you work for?

Answer before I cut your throat.

Huh? Jun, it's the lady from Physician Jang's house.

What?

Why are you here?

This area is closely watched by guards and soldiers.

It's your neck if you get caught here.

Why are you here and dressed as a man?

I heard that I could meet illegal traders here.

I took my sick father to the physician.

He said my only hope was to get medicine imported from China.

If I couldn't buy any here, I was planning to go to China myself.

My goodness, you're out of your mind.

You're a weak woman. You wouldn't last a day.

That place is swarming with dangerous and brutal men.

I will do anything and everything it takes to save my father.

Please help me find a way.

I sympathize with your tale of grief.

But there is no way.

Better turn back before the soldiers show up.

Let's go.

It has not gotten better.

Ten years later, my heart is still raw and bleeding.

I wanted to protect her, but I failed.

We captured this man involved in illegal trade.

Is it true that he's your son?

Father!

One's social status is not determined by his robes.

Stop pretending to be a noble, and know your place.

Is it because of the girl? You need money to save her?

You...!

The dead guy is the traitor everyone's looking for.

I'm right, aren't I?

Are you threatening us?

Yang-tae, take Lady Da-hee away. I'll help her escape after the deal.

There!

I thought of you as a friend from the moment we met.
