Original subtitles

Teach me martial arts.

I know a little about the art of wine.

Master.

Please take me under your wings.

There's something I have to do.

There's someone I have to catch.

I can't afford to die.

Iljimae hasn't been showing up lately.

I don't think his true intention is to steal.

What was the great cause you believed in?

A killer has no great cause.

He is my cause.

Yes, thank you.

We'll begin shortly.

Thank you.

Thank you for making the time out of your busy schedule

to attend the grand opening ceremony

of the best inn of our time.

Please lend your ears to the following message.

Eun-chae, go ahead.

Yes.

Until now, most inns were only furnished

with firewood and water, so travelers had to carry

their own pots and food.

But we, Geumro-gak, are fully furnished.

So you can travel light.

And all our rooms are fitted with heated floors,

providing you with warm and dry rooms.

It'll be a great refuge for the sick as well.

Please take a look around.

We have a spacious stable and cozy guest rooms

with a great view and location.

Please take a look around. Thank you.

What an honor...

A Qing envoy paying us a visit, I'm greatly honored.

Please let me know if you need lodging.

We'll always have a room for you.

There you go again. You just love horses.

That must be a purebred.

Look how shiny his coat is.

Do you like him?

You're no ordinary woman.

It seems you like horses.

How would you like to go for a ride with me?

I'm a man of speed.

Sum-sum, bring some salt.

Pardon?

It seems we have evil spirits here.

I prefer those greasy haired Castor Oil Gang to him.

I wanted to kick him in the shin when he came around,

but now that he's gone, I kind of miss him.

You're curious about him, aren't you?

What?

They said he's gone into the mountains study.

Maybe I've really fallen for his charms...

Have you heard anything about Iljimae yet?

No. But there are plenty of rumors going around.

People say he's dead, some say he's gone to China.

Life is no fun without Iljimae.

As fast as you can.

Don't give your opponent a chance

to block or escape your attack.

If it were a sword, you'd be dead now.

The match is not over yet.

It's over.

I won.

Yong wins!

Attack not to kill, but to live and let live.

Si-hu, I haven't seen you lately...

Are you still upset with me?

Why would I be upset with you?

Go now.

Please teach me archery.

I've always wanted to learn.

You've also taught me horseback riding.

This is a dangerous weapon.

Have you no fear...

So you teach me.

Here.

You still had it?

Straighten your back and face the target.

Put weight on your both feet.

And hold your breath.

Shoot now?

Shoot.

I think I was a warrior in my previous life.

You're not upset with me anymore, are you?

Mister!

Master.

Where did he go, that fraud?

Who the heck!

You're dead when I catch you.

Make sure enemies don't know where your arrows come from.

It'll conceal your location.

It's my sword.

Kill whoever stands in your way.

Be it Buddha or whoever.

That's what a sword is for.

What's this?

Can't you see? It's a sword.

It's my number one treasure.

I asked the blacksmith to dull the edges.

Why... why would you dull the edges?

What kind of sword doesn't have an edge?

You're looking at it.

And why did you stop referring to me as "master"?

Yong.

There are two kinds of swords in the world.

One to murder people.

And one to save people's lives.

I hope you never have to hold a sword.

But if you have to, use the sword to save the people.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Yes... I understand.

Even a sword without an edge can kill a life.

A weapon isn't what kills a man.

It's what's in your heart.

Father.

I'll never forget what you said.

Never.

Are you sure you don't want to go back with me?

I want to take it easy for a while longer here.

You've sapped all my energy from me.

You're going to get Myung-wol here again?

Have fun.

I'll tell Aunt Sim-deok you're keeping chaste.

That brat...

Has there been any news of the thief lately?

Are you talking about Iljimae, the righteous thief?

He hasn't appeared lately.

The rumor has it he's dead.

Righteous, my foot.

I have a feeling he's looking for something.

He's only stealing and sharing the goods to disguise that fact.

What are you talking about?

It's just a bunch of crock.

Life is but crap. Woof, woof!

Get going.

Life is but crap. Woof, woof.

Yong is coming back.

Mister, Yong's coming back.

Mister, Yong's coming back.

Yong's coming back!

Show me your best produce. I'm your regular.

All right. Wait here.

Don't be so picky.

What? Isn't it pretty?

My husband gave it to me.

Your husband?

You little...

Let's go around the market.

But there are so many people.

You need obstacles.

What if we get into trouble?

Did you forget who my father is?

He's the Qing envoy.

Even the king can't mess with him.

Just trust me. Let's go full force!

Don't flirt with him.

What did you say?

Don't flirt with him.

No matter what you do, Yong will come to me.

You little...

We'll see about that.

You don't scare me.

Yong's head over heels for me.

That jerk.

He didn't buy me a ribbon.

Those jerks!

How dare she get her eyes on my husband?

We're already engaged.

Move out of the way.

An obstacle. Go for it!

Yang-sun...

My baby...

Yang-sun!

Yang-sun.

My baby...

Yang-sun!

Yang-sun!

Run!

Stop right there, you jerks!

Stop!

Stop, you jerk!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop, you jerks!

Shut the gate!

Open up!

Open up!

Come out here, you jerks!

Hey!

Lousy luck.

What's going on?

Why is it so quiet around here?

Yong's back!

Why...

Yong's back.

Yong's back...

Hey!

How dare you!

Come out here!

You jerks, come out!

Nobody came here.

Get her out of here.

Bring those jerks out here!

You vicious wench.

Bring those jerks out here!

Let's go.

I'm not going. I can't.

I'm not going anywhere until that jerk crawls back out here.

I'm not going!

Let him go.

Sir, I apologize for making a fuss.

She has a mean temper.

That jerk went inside.

The jerk who killed Yang-sun.

He said no one came. He didn't see anyone.

Let's go. We'll talk.

Let go!

That's enough!

What are you going to do about it?

You jerk, you know why she was killed?

She was picking up the ribbon you gave her.

So how can you do this?

Let go.

She's really stubborn.

I'm not moving an inch until that jerk comes out.

Fine, do whatever you want.

You'd better not move an inch from there.

I'm leaving.

I've never seen such a resilient wench in my life.

Change!

Have something to eat.

No one has even come out to see her...?

What's that?

Ma'am...

Mister...

What?

What do you want?

Let us at least get an apology from my daughter's murderer.

Only then, our daughter will be able to rest in peace.

Why isn't he coming?

He was supposed to be here yesterday.

I wonder if something happened to him.

Yong's father!

Who's here... My Yong's here.

Dad!

Yong!

My baby.

Why are you so late?

Let me take a look at you.

It must've been hard studying.

Not at all.

You've gotten so thin... No more chubby cheeks.

Yes, my cheeks...

Where's my one and only Dan-yi?

Dan-yi, our baby's here.

Mom!

But... what's this?

It's a ribbon.

You got your mother a ribbon.

But she's too old to wear a ribbon.

It's nothing.

Do you... have a girl?

No way...

Mom!

I finished my studies and have returned home safely.

Sit.

Mother, Father, have you fared well?

Let me pay my respects.

Just eat.

Yes, I should eat. Thank you.

Did you study a lot?

You weren't sick?

You're back for good, aren't you?

Ask one question at a time.

Okay. Eat up and take a nap.

Your precious son's back from a long trip,

and you're going out now?

There's a big commotion at the market.

Yang-sun... And Bong-sun...

I'll tell you all about it when I get back.

Just eat.

Dan-yi, I'm going.

I'm coming with you.

You're coming too?

I'm a mother too.

Let's go.

So that's where everyone is?

Yes, my father's there too.

Let's go.

What? Why would you go?

A noble lady can't...

An aristocrat is also a citizen of this country.

You can't go.

Swe-dol.

Hey.

My lady, let's go back.

Who is she?

My lady, what are you doing here?

Please go back.

Please.

Looks like she's from a noble family.

What brings you to this shabby place?

What if you should get dirt on your silk skirt?

You jerk...

My lady.

Are you happy now?

I'm here to drag that beast who went into hiding

after killing an innocent child.

Nobility can't do that?

Sure you can.

Don't worry and stay inside.

But... There're so many people.

What can they do against me?

Welcome, my lord.

Please have a seat.

I've heard what happened.

So what exactly is going on?

They're making a fuss over nothing.

I would appreciate it if you could help us.

Why did he have to run from the scene...

Years ago, when you came to China as an envoy,

I took great care of you. You do remember, don't you?

Yes...

And during the war, it was my influence

which got you back into the court.

You haven't forgotten that already, have you?

Of course not. I'll never forget it.

But I hear your son was riding his horse drunk?

Minister, you're a smart man so you must know.

The role I play between Qing and Joseon.

I certainly do.

I'll send all my guards.

So tell your son not to worry about a thing.

Then I'll leave everything to you.

That jerk...

Jeong Chi-hong, you murderer,

come out and get down on your knees.

Jerk! Come out right now!

Come out before I open that gate!

He's not coming out?

Hey, I've been convicted eight times of...

Just come out before I pick the lock on that gate!

One, two, three!

You'll all be arrested if you don't dismiss right now!

You get paid with our tax money to harbor a murderer?

Bring him here now!

What are you doing? Get them out of here.

You jerks!

What are you doing?

How could you protect the murderer who killed

a child and hurt innocent people?

They say you can't disobey people's will.

All he has to do is make a sincere apology.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Just arrest a few ringleaders

and make an example out of them.

They need to get some sense beaten into them.

Pardon?

Yes...

But sir, there is an aristocrat lady in the mob.

What?

What? Who's the idiot aristocrat?

Who's her father?

Hasn't he taught his daughter anything?

We weren't able to identify her yet.

I don't care.

Just arrest a few of them and beat them up.

Make an example out of them.

Yes.

And don't touch a hair on that aristocrat girl.

It'll just make things worse.

Get them!

Mom.

Push the cart.

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

I don't have a hammer.

Right, Castor Oil Gang...

What?

They haven't dismissed yet?

The word has spread, and people are coming

from outside the city walls.

But the officers are tired now...

So they want to challenge the authority?

Fine, bring all the gangsters in the city.

There are treasonous mobs gathered

in front of the envoy's lodge.

Don't be intimidated. Just beat them up.

It's Yong.

Yong?

Yong!

My brothers, how have you been?

How long has it been?

He was alive.

Yong!

But...

I don't smell any ink on you.

You were supposed to study.

And you've bulked up.

What do you mean?

Yeah, he's hard now.

Where's the big hammer?

I think I saw one here.

Big hammer?

Over there. But why do you need it?

I just do.

Brother!

Brother!

They want us to wipe them out.

Hey! Let's go!

What?

You think you're gangsters?

Boys, let's get some action today!

Get them!

Sam-deuk!

Mother, what are you doing over there?

Come over here. It's dangerous over there.

You brat, you come here!

You call yourself a citizen of this country?

Come here right now!

You brat...

But Mom...

Boss...

What the...

Kamu.

Grandpa.

Are you out of your mind?

What are you doing here?

Come over here right now.

Hey!

Yuk-gap.

Dad.

Bong-dal!

Brother!

No, Dad.

No!

Boss.

What?

I thought you said they were a treasonous mob.

That poop face Byun Sik lied to us?

Hey!

Yes, sir!

Join them!

Yong!

No. Why should I?

What? Come here right now!

What if I get hurt?

I barely got myself out earlier.

I don't want to.

I want to live a long and painless life.

You're all so immature.

The king doesn't want you to do this.

What I mean is...

If you're all here, the market will be empty

and thieves will have a field day.

I'll go and guard the market. You stay here.

Hey!

Let's go!

You're dead!

What?

Castor Oil Gang too?

Yes, people's spirits have gone up since they joined them.

We can't hold them back.

At this rate, they'll barge in through the door any minute.

Fine, I'll show them.

Jeong Chi-hong, that son of a gun...

You know what he's doing inside now?

He's playing majong.

What?

There's a ruckus going on outside because of him and...

And he calls himself human...

Bong-sun, eat.

Eat.

This must be hard for you too.

Have one. It's okay.

It's okay. Have one.

Are you sure?

Yes.

My Dan-yi... She's over there.

She's pretty and a good cook too.

Really?

Try one.

Yes, go ahead and try one.

It's good, isn't it?

Keep up the good work. See you.

No!

Get out of the way.

What's a noble lady doing here?

I'm bleeding.

Be quiet for a minute.

Be gentle.

Here.

My teeth...

The rest of my teeth are loose too now.

Why are you such a fool?

You think so too?

I wasn't too bad-looking before I lost my tooth.

What if you get killed...

I can't go on either...

I'm so sorry.

I'm the only one who wasn't injured...

Why should you be sorry? Don't say such a thing.

Please let me borrow your clothes.

I feel uncomfortable in these...

Follow me.

My forehead.

Be quiet. Such a baby.

Does it hurt a lot?

Yes.

But where did Yong go?

I haven't seen him all day.

I know. I saw him briefly earlier.

Maybe he got scared and took off.

YONG'S

YONG'S

YONG IS BONG-SUN'S

Those sons of...

Even a worm will fight back when it's angered.

They can kill us but they can't make us back down.

Of course not!

They feed like pigs with our money,

and use that energy to beat us up?

Those jerks...

Those jerk of constables...

It's a good thing I stopped Yong from becoming a constable.

Don't you think so?

Shall we get ready?

I'll get ready.

We should.

Eye for an eye and tooth for tooth.

It's do or die.

But are we going to be okay?

What do you mean?

What?

You're a spy, aren't you?

Go. Get out of here!

Go? Fine, I'll go.

I guess you forgot we have 20 horses at our house?

Fine, I'll go.

Don't stop me. I'm leaving.

Don't stop me!

Sit down.

It's all over now.

Those lowlifes need beatings...

...to come to their senses.

Thanks to you, I can sleep easy now.

I'll never forget this.

Don't mention it.

Wait and see what I steal.

Subtitles by K B F D

That rat of a thief...

I don't want to tell a lie.

Bring Minister Byun now.

I told him to hold on to my hand...

Yong's not here.

Explosives?

If they should throw explosives...

Iljimae is the man of the hour.

Iljimae!
