Who the heck...

This sure doesn't look like school to me.

I wanted to get this for you.

But Lord Sim apparently talked to the hunter himself.

Kill him without a trace.

I really didn't want to come.

Why, you...

I already warned you once to stay out of my sight.

How dare you look at me with that gaze!

Man...

I think he's dead.

Go easy on me...

I didn't do anything horrible.

We've done this before.

Take it easy...

Be quiet, you.

You wretch!

Stop the whining. What did he do?

Well...

He got drunk and harassed some women...

How pathetic.

Beat his brains out.

My lord!

You whiner.

You son of a gun...

I told you to take it easy...

My dear Swe-dol...

Did it hurt a lot?

No, sir.

These buns are made of steel.

I'm fine.

I'm so sorry.

Once I get some liquor in me...

You turn into a dog.

A dog. Woof.

You should quit.

You have to face your students.

Anyway, the students seem to have caught on

to the fact that Yong is not a nobleman.

If the parents find out, my head will roll.

Oh my... My bum is on fire.

Excuse me! I took the flogging on behalf of...

That's all, right?

What's this?

It's a hole dug up by hunters to catch boars.

They'll figure that he slipped into it by accident.

What are you doing? Dump him in there.

One, two...

Why isn't this scoundrel home yet?

Jeez...

What's that?

Drop your pants.

My pants...?

Now.

Sure...

Not so hard. You'll peel the skin off.

They beat you to a pulp.

What are you doing out there anyway?

What's this scoundrel up to? Why isn't he home?

He's either in the lap of some kisaeng or playing cards.

Looks like there's going to be a snowstorm.

I better look for him.

That kid isn't going to amount to anything.

Stop fooling yourself.

Show the boy a little tenderness.

Don't you feel for him?

Don't blame me when your butt hurts later.

Why don't we go to a kisaeng house and relax?

Will we be all right?

Young masters!

Have you seen that scoundrel Yong...?

I mean, my young master Yong?

Yong...?

He left early today.

Why, that scoundrel...

The young master has his flaws,

but please be friends...

Oh, no.

Look what's happened to your precious clothes.

Such nice fabric.

Out of the way.

Let's go.

Why, that rude son of a gun...

I hope you fall flat on your face.

And why doesn't this kid ever study

instead of getting around?

Man...

Hello!

Anybody there?

Anyone?

Hello!

Father...

Man, talk about cramping my style...

This is expensive leather though...

Let's do this.

It worked!

It worked!

Heung-gyun.

You're here too, Dae-sik.

Has Yong been here?

No, why?

I can't find him anywhere.

Who are you?

Are you Yi Won-ho's son Yi Gyum?

Sorry?

No, you have the wrong person.

Wait!

Stop moving, please.

The ice is thin. It'll crack and I'll drown.

Stop, please...

Answer me truthfully.

Are you Gyum?

I'm Yong!

Let me live...

If you are Gyum, I won't kill you.

You're right. I am Gyum.

Are you telling the truth?

Sure, if I'm Gyum, you'll let me live, right?

Or did you say you'll kill me?

I'm so confused...

It makes no difference whether you're Gyum or not.

No!

Let me live!

For him to stop the gambling hall even for one day

means that something serious has happened.

What? I'm right.

Wait...

Yong...?

He left early today.

Look what's happened to your precious clothes.

Have an idea where he might be?

Gyum, you must live.

Promise me that you'll live.

Bye, sweetie.

See you!

Please come again.

Sure.

Oh, my...

Are we home?

Where are we?

Who are you?

Money?

Where's Yong?

What do you mean?

The servant at the school told me.

You dragged Yong off and he's been gone ever since.

What did you do to my boy!

The frame is all finished, my lady.

And now we'll use cedar wood.

But cedar wood is weak. You should use juniper wood.

But your father said juniper wood will cost too much...

We're building a place of refuge for countless travelers.

Safety should be our priority.

I'll talk to my father.

Yes, my lady.

A snowstorm may be on its way.

You can call it an evening.

Yes, my lady.

Everyone, come on down.

Yes, sir!

She sure is classy.

Is she like that in the sack too?

Those are the ones who are really wild.

I should slice off that filthy trap of yours.

Please...

Ungrateful wretches.

She gave you work when you were dying out on the streets!

Don't ever show up again.

If I ever see you,

I'll not only slice off your trap but your manhood as well.

Stop for one second.

What is it, my lady?

Put down the carriage.

Get in.

Pardon?

Warm yourself in there for a while.

I don't get cold very easily. This is nothing.

Your hands are frozen.

We're both women.

I can't be the only one in comfort.

No, my lady. How could I...?

Actually, I'm so taken by this white snow.

I really want to take a walk. Would you let me do that?

My lady...

Shoot at her.

She tried to steal Father's ink container.

A thief must be punished.

I have nothing to do with it.

You feel for her?

Because you've got lowly commoner's blood too?

What are you guys doing?

Let me go. I'm telling father.

Stop stalling. Shoot.

If you do, I'll accept you as my little brother.

Let me go.

Don't cry.

A thinly sliced steak helps the bruise go away.

So I sneaked it out for you.

Mother was wrong.

Si-wan's the one who deserves the scolding.

This must be so hard for you.

Don't feel down.

Your little sister is on your side.

Where did you go?

You should've come out to see me.

Don't you worry about your sister being out at night?

Then don't go out at night.

A young noblewoman shouldn't stay out so late.

I dropped by the inn.

Father did entrust me with the building of it...

A girl should be modest and stay home.

It's cold. Go inside.

Yes, Mother.

Si-wan is still out. Go find him.

I hear you're applying to be a military officer?

A half-breed military officer?

It wouldn't be a bad thing.

But you're on your own.

Don't even think of using our family's clout to get in.

He went off in his carriage.

By any chance...

No, never mind.

Actually, this afternoon...

Yong!

Pull any tricks and you won't make it back alive.

Where is he?

Yong!

Over there.

It's so dark, I can't tell either...

Come on. You can't do this.

You call yourself human?

If my boy is dead, I'll bury you and me both.

Bring me my boy!

Over there.

Yong!

Yong!

He's not in there...

No, this is the place for sure.

Yong!

Why, that scoundrel.

Hey!

You bury my precious son and run off?

Calm down.

I'll give you money.

Whatever you ask. Just let me go.

Money? Why, you wretch...

Money?

Did you hear this wretch?

Why, that scoundrel...

No!

Why did you stop me?

Do you know him?

No...

I don't know him.

Get away!

You better not speak a word of this.

Got that?

Why, that little rat...

How dare he beat me...

Dear.

You pathetic wretch!

You don't ever study, and...

What happened?

What's with the shiner?

Well, it's snowy and slippery...

What?

Come here.

Well, of course. You got drunk again.

Pathetic scoundrel.

I can't show my face around here thanks to you.

Failing the civil exam is one thing.

But you couldn't even get into the institute!

And you're out drinking carrying on with some kisaeng!

Who do you take after!

Except for my good looks, I take after you.

What was that?

You get your good looks from me.

The sharp nose and the broad mouth.

You're a spitting image.

But that brain of yours...

But you too, Father...

You got your position without

any exams thanks to the family.

What was that? Who told you?

Everybody knows.

And all of your certificates

are counterfeited.

Si-wan, that's enough.

So you think you can flap those gums...

You insult your own father?

You scoundrel...

Dear...

Show some dignity.

Dignity, my foot!

When have I ever shown any dignity around my family?

You scoundrel...

Well, one person here is not a member of our family.

Fine, I'm glad you brought that up.

Let's think about this.

Si-hu is my son too. He has my blood.

How is it that he's so bright?

So obviously, Si-wan gets his brain from his mother.

Dear!

Try to be just half as bright as Si-hu.

My feet are freezing.

Shovel the darn snow!

How do you feel, young man?

Who are you, my lord...?

Are you Yi Gyum?

Why? You want to kill me too?

No.

I just want to know the truth.

Whether you are Gyum or not, I will not kill you.

So just calm down, and...

Yes, my lord.

I'm Yong from the south side.

Are you telling me the truth?

Yes...

I have no intent to harm you.

Your father and I were friends,

so do not be wary of me.

Pardon? My father?

I want to tell you about your father's wrongful death.

My goodness...

My father's alive. His eyes are wide open.

I don't think that he's lying, Uncle.

I know where your mother and sister are staying.

Don't you want to see them?

My, I'm going to lose it.

My mother's at home. And I'm an only child!

I must've confused you with someone else.

You may go.

Man, I'm not even well...

Who the heck is this Gyum...

You can't let him go...

How dare you lie to the minister!

I'm telling you the truth, My lord.

He called himself Gyum.

If you tell one more lie, I'll pull out your tongue.

What about that money you promised me...

Why, you wretch!

You're lucky to get out of here without getting a flogging.

Yes, my lord...

We let a fool waste our time.

Watch that boy's every move.

Yes, my lord.

Do you really suspect

that boy might be Gyum?

Something is amiss. We'll find out soon enough.

Whoever died 13 years ago wasn't Gyum.

Gyum is alive.

And why do you want to find him now?

I just found out that Yi Won-ho was framed as a traitor.

Won-ho's son could have witnessed something...

Yi Gyum!

Why, he's at it again...

Hey, you're that hunter.

You can fool others, but you can't fool me.

You just wait. I'll reveal your identity.

Got any idea what a traitor's son is worth?

What the heck...?

This is expensive leather.

It's not supposed to get wet.

Cramping my style...

Drink up.

Enjoy.

Gulp it down.

Where the heck have you been?

Want to get fired?

Young men line up to work at my bar.

Ma'am, Yong is...

Yong is dead, we think.

My behind.

Then who the heck is that in your room?

Pardon?

Hey...

What?

You're supposed to be dead.

How did you know?

That jerk nobleman told us.

We looked all over for you. What happened?

It's a long story.

Tell my father you dragged me back from the gambling den.

You don't want him to worry?

No, I want to save myself the grief.

He just doesn't get it. This will teach him.

Father.

You ungrateful wretch. Get up.

To think that I stayed up while you were here lying around...

Scoundrel.

I'll bury you with this shovel.

Come on...

Grab him.

You rotten...

Here.

Causing trouble again?

Can't you see the wrinkles you're putting on his face?

Look at that poor mug...

You scoundrel.

Never mind my son.

Just watch that booty of yours.

Stop shaking that darn thing.

I'll shake my booty and my hips as I want to.

What's it to you?

I hear that pompous wife of yours

doesn't let you touch hers.

What do you say?

Maybe I'll let you touch mine.

Get away, you rotten wench!

Are you sure you're a man?

Lady, you're going too far.

If he's not a man, did I fall off the moon?

Talk about absurd...

Fine, keep living like that. You'll wither up and die.

That rotten wench...

So those jerks didn't try to kill you?

Come on. Those guys love me.

As you know, I've got style and the gift of gab.

Maybe that punk was just drunk then.

Stuff yourself.

Fish makes the old noggin work well.

Chew up the bones too.

Dear father.

Can I stop going to school?

If you're finished, let's go.

Come on!

Save us, dear messy Buddha.

Dear messy Buddha...

Wait, isn't it merciful Buddha?

Where did he go?

Dear messy Buddha?

Father, what did you do with the herb?

What herb?

The magical herb that gives you extra mojo.

What?

I threw it away.

Why?

I don't need that stuff.

I've got too much mojo as it is.

That stuff cost me a fortune!

Go on home.

Hey!

Where are you going?

He's got wings on that behind of his.

Mojo...?

Magical herb?

I hear that pompous wife of yours

doesn't let you touch hers.

This is a magical herb.

It'll give you that extra mojo.

Take it and pee in a chamber pot.

You'll crack that thing.

She won't be able to handle you.

Wait, am I supposed to take this?

Or am I supposed to give it to Dan-yi?

I'll just take it. I'm the desperate one.

This magical herb comes with one caveat.

Do not give to men traveling on their own.

Why not?

Think about it.

Their wife is not around.

Yet, they'll have all that energy...

What will they do with it?

And what will you do with my money?

Cough it up while I'm being nice.

Don't be silly. You took the herb.

Let me see that.

The stench. What the heck...?

This is a mixture of dog poop and cow poop.

Don't buy it.

It's all bogus.

No, this is for real.

Then why don't you take some yourself?

Fine.

Did you see that?

Would I eat dog poop and cow poop?

I feel so hot all of a sudden...

And in the middle of winter...

Put on a show, why don't you?

What in the...?

Hey, let me go...

No...

Meddle with our business again,

and I'll pull your nuts off.

No...

But my money...

It's for my sick mother's medicine...

You can come up with something better.

You're new to the south side, aren't you?

I know this one joint with nice girls.

And they serve this 100-year old snake wine.

You're doing better. But still not very persuasive...

I mean it.

Tell them I sent you, and you'll get half off.

My money!

Mister, my money.

How much is it?

Five coins.

Why, you jerk...

Is he out of his mind?

He's a dead man.

I am so sorry.

Brothers, no need to get worked up.

I just bumped into his shoulder by mistake.

By mistake?

Well, your mistake made him throw out his shoulder.

What do you mean?

His shoulder's not made of jelly.

Man, what do I do now?

Hey!

Are you with him?

No!

I have nothing to do with him.

Don't mind me, and go on about your business.

Take care.

What happened to you guys?

Here, get up.

Come on.

What's the matter with them?

Save us, dear messy Buddha.

Thank you, sir.

May I pay you a little something?

Please, as if I've done anything.

But if you insist,

I've got some killer stuff you can buy.

Killer stuff...?

I told you he'd be at the gambling den.

Man, I have to stop going to Dae-sik's bar.

The madam over there is terrible.

She keeps coming on to me.

She wouldn't stop blowing in my ear.

She said she wants to have her way with me...

By the way...

When she kept doing that...

My loins got a little worked up...

Maybe you should go to her.

Go to her? Now?

Seriously?

But I'm devoted to you.

You're my one and only.

Dan-yi...

We've lived together for a while now...

I know I'll be good.

I'm going stir crazy.

Dan-yi.

Thank you.

Enjoy your night of passion.

Father, what did you do?

I helped him out a bit,

and he insisted on repaying me.

By the way...

I took this whole thing. I won't die, will I?

I doubt it. You took the whole thing?

Yes, why?

Nothing.

You won't die, but...

But?

It's going to set your butt on fire.

Dear messy Buddha...

Fire...?

Dan-yi.

The rotten scoundrel...

If I ever get my hands on him...

The rotten scoundrel...

You cursed wretch.

Come here.

Why...?

Thanks to you...

There's blood...

Blood? Where?

In my poop.

What?

I pooped blood!

Why?

Mojo? Magical herb?

Rotten scoundrel.

That was rat poison. Come here.

What is it? What did I do?

Assaulting a nobleman is a felony!

Father.

What? He made it out alive?

Yes, the attending officer is here to talk to your father.

Si-wan did that?

Yes, the lowly commoner seems to be telling the truth.

Cover it up.

But, My lord...

It's not my place...

Too big for your britches, are you?

Who made you an attending officer?

One word from me, and you'll be nothing.

You know my temper!

I'm sorry, Father. Forgive me.

A fly in the dead of winter...

So that little scoundrel gave you this shiner?

Yes.

How dare he do that to my precious son...

He's guilty of assaulting a nobleman's child.

He'll receive a severe penalty.

A severe penalty?

We'll cut off his hands

so he won't ever beat a nobleman again.

His hands...?

My lord!

Dear officer, that is not fair.

Those young masters threw me in the ditch

thinking I was dead.

You scoundrel!

How dare you lie to me!

It's the truth.

Investigate and you'll see.

My lord.

It's not a crime for a nobleman to try to kill a commoner?

My father's the only guilty one?

Do you even know whose son that was?

Go beg the young master for forgiveness.

That's the only option you have left.

Have a bite.

Dear, I'm scared.

I knew that boy would cause trouble one day.

You should never look after another human being.

Why are you blaming Yong?

Can't you see that it's all his fault?

What is he doing out there? The sly little jerk.

I told you it's not his fault.

I really believed him when he said he gambled all night.

He must've been so afraid and in so much pain.

The poor thing.

I feel so sad for you.

He doesn't have a drop of your blood in him...

You silly man.

I saw Cha-dol.

It was dark, so I didn't get a good look.

But he has really grown.

Mother.

How's Father?

Nice going.

You'll make your father an invalid.

I'm in.

Well, I'm in too.

I've got the nuts.

Man!

I guess this is my pot.

Enough of this game. Let me choose the next game.

Young master, you're out of money.

We're going to call it an evening.

You're not going anywhere.

Young master, please forgive me.

Punish me, and let my father go.

So I hear that your father's hands are at stake.

Please beat me till your heart's content.

Please...

Oh?

I'll forgive your father. Just bring some money.

Money?

I need some gambling money right away.

Come on. Let's play.

This is all I have, my lord.

Is this some kind of a joke?

Give me a few days.

I'll give you a way to make some money tomorrow.

Let's play.

Is everything okay?

It still smarts.

Wait till I get my hands on him.

Bong-sun.

Yes?

Do you regret it?

Regret what?

Coming with me that one day.

That's all in the past.

What would I be doing if I didn't follow you?

Thanks, Father.

For taking me and raising me.

Don't thank me. You've no idea who I am.

I know who you are. You saved my life.

What?

I know that you saved me when I was about to die.

Let's get some sleep.

Father.

I'll make lots of money and take care of you.

I'm sorry, Bong-sun.

How will I pay for my sins?

What?

Have you lost your mind?

You tried to kill his son. You started this thing!

I did?

Maybe in your dreams?

That man raised me.

What?

How interesting.

Hit me. I dare you.

Then I won't chop off that Swe-dol's hands, but his head.

He's not even your real father. How touching.

What?

Feel sorry for your mother

who'll have to care for an invalid?

That's it. Show your true colors.

You've managed to hold it in all this time.

Lowborn dirtbags do have patience.

I guess it just runs in your blood.

Father.

My daddy's little girl.

Eun-chae, take a look.

Does this seal look fake to you too?

I heard about Si-wan.

It's none of your business.

It looks so real to me.

I heard that Si-wan tried to kill the man's son.

No father would stand for that. That's just how fathers are.

And as a father, I want to punish that scoundrel.

How dare he lay a hand on my precious child!

Please, let the man go.

This does not concern you.

That man...

He raised Si-hu.

What?

Then that scoundrel...

Why must these people be in my life?

Father.

Try to understand Si-hu's position.

This looks totally fake.

I paid a fortune for it.

And they can't even make it look real.

Darn it!

What do you think?

Hey.

Yes?

Turn around.

This way?

Man...

Wait outside.

The weakest of the weak.

One punch from Duk-pal, and he'll be dead.

You can kill him.

It's a fight. Nobody's to blame.

Just pay me.

Are you serious?

Even if he really dies, it's not our responsibility.

That's what I said.

Just give me the money.

Sure.

Nobody wants to fight Duk-pal anyway.

I guess he'll have to do.

Here.

This includes the cost of his life.

I'm paying you extra.

I put in a good word for you.

Win the match, and you'll get 200 coins.

Bring me that money.

Or kiss your father's hands goodbye.

Chop chop.

He'll fight five challengers in a row.

Why are you trying to kill me?

My brothers are in there.

Stop!

Please!
