[♪ Somber music playing]

I said, "Put out the fire."

[water splashing]

I thought you were a hard worker.

But it turns out you're nothing but a bloodsucking leech.

Fine then. Enjoy this life.

[water splashing]

[♪ Music continues playing]

[Choi Eun] The bandits of the Gyeonggang River

have dominated the docks.

They embezzle the laborers' wages

and extort money from the merchants under the pretext of taxes.

The police need to regulate them,

but they're receiving bribes and protecting the rogues instead.

Meanwhile, the bandits are running wild,

oppressing merchants

and squeezing them dry of their sweat and blood.

I pray that the government imposes stricter laws here as well.

The Murky Stream

FOUR. FATE

The wicked daughter of Choi's guild filed a complaint

to the inspector general's office.

I was lucky an official in his office intercepted it.

Do you realize what could have happened if it reached His Majesty?

I apologize.

That crazy woman. We could have had a real mess here.

-I'll go teach her a lesson, then. -How, exactly?

Ensure she won't do it again. She just needs... disciplining.

You wanted to see me, sir?

I received an unsigned letter.

It's an indictment claiming that you were in collusion

with various bandit groups.

You're taking numerous bribes and extorting the commoners.

-None of that is true. -[General] Is that so?

Then why does this letter clearly state

that you were seen at the West Gate consorting with bandits?

Coincidence. I saw someone I once knew.

-Coincidence? -That is the full truth of the matter.

Really?

All right, then.

You may leave.

Be more careful in the future.

[sighs]

[exhales]

Yes. You wished to see me?

Who's in charge of the docks?

I am, sir.

I need to find someone there. How might I do that?

Newcomers arrive every day along with hundreds of drifting laborers.

Well, a name or distinct characteristics would be a start.

If you have that, I'm happy to ask around.

No need. I'll inspect the dock.

-Please prepare the horses. -Pardon?

At this time, there are no available horses to ride.

There are no horses?

What do you mean by that?

They're gone because we lent four of them to the General's relatives,

and we rented out the rest to the lords and the gisaeng house.

-We'll receive payment, though. -What?

Tomorrow we can retrieve the horses.

So why not take a look around the dock, then?

Sorry, sir. I have duties. So, if you'll excuse me...

[sighs]

[indistinct chatter]

[sighs wearily]

Oh, wow.

Thank you so much.

Are you sure about giving me this much?

Yes. Just go.

[worker gasping] Thank you.

You bastard! Are you crazy?

You can't give them all this. We won't have any left to pay the taxes.

Got it? Watch this.

This is the wage.

This is a tax sum.

This is the only way for us to make a living. Okay?

Try again.

Again.

This is the least they need in order to survive, right?

[sighing impatiently] You are driving me crazy.

Appreciate it.

[exhales]

You still can't get this right after all these years?

Pardon me.

-Oh! Hello, my lord. -May I ask you a question?

I'm looking for someone.

He's quite tall and has a thin face. Have you seen him?

[chuckles nervously] I don't think I've seen anyone like that.

[sighs] All right.

[indistinct chatter]

"Thanks, Mudeok."

Huh?

"I'm so grateful."

"I will never forget this."

[sighing in exhaustion]

Do you think they will ever pay you back?

Huh?

Treat them like human beings for once before you say that.

What the hell are you talking about? What a load of shit.

[sighs, clicks tongue]

[exhales]

Making a decent living,

do you even know how scary that is?

Before brother Deokgae settled here,

each and every day was a living hell.

We had to witness those damn merchants joining forces

and sucking the blood from the laborers.

Not even a leech could suck that much blood from your skin.

[man] Line up!

[indistinct chatter]

[Mudeok] At the time, I got beat up every single day.

[man] The hell are you looking at?

-Go away! -[Mudeok] That damn clan!

They treated us like we were less than animals.

Hey. Give me just a little more.

-[yelps] -For fuck's sake.

-Just a little... [yelping] -Get out of here!

[man] Okay. Line up, everyone! Hurry up!

Move quickly!

-Faster! Faster! -All right, here. Go.

What is this?

If you don't want it, go.

For each boat, you said I get one hop of rice.

I... I unloaded two.

Don't I get another?

-Don't be ridiculous! -[groans softly]

Now, get!

[grunting] Come here!

Before you beat me to death, I'll die of starvation.

Restore order, now!

-[grunts] -[groans]

[indistinct chatter]

[Mudeok] Then, it happened.

He should have held back,

but his damn temper.

[yelling]

[♪ Upbeat music playing]

Let go. Let it go, you bastard!

[grunting]

[groans softly]

[♪ Music continues playing]

[Mudeok] Do you think any of the laborers helped him?

Not one. Not a single man helped him.

They were all probably too scared to fight.

I, Park Mudeok, was different.

By nature, heroes don't fall from the heavens above us.

True heroes rise up on their own with their feet on the ground.

-[shudders] -Take this, Mudeok.

You said he was your friend.

You should go lend a hand.

[Deokgae groaning]

[yelping]

[shudders]

[men gasping]

[Mudeok] I, Park Mudeok, held the sickle in one hand

and jumped into the center of the fight by myself.

[yelping]

-[grunting] -[groans]

[groans]

[groans]

[man yelling] Get him!

[indistinct shouting]

[yelping]

Deokgae used his fists and feet.

[yelping]

And I used a sickle.

[grunting]

[screaming]

[man yelling] Stop there!

[screaming]

In a fit of rage,

I smashed the bastards' heads in one by one,

and kept pushing forward.

-Get him! -[groans softly]

-[grunts] -[groans]

[grunting]

[whimpering]

When I came to my senses,

everyone except the two of us were down on the ground.

-Deokgae. -[sobbing]

[groans softly]

[sobbing]

[Mudeok] That is how Deokgae and I took command of Mapo.

[cheering]

Mudeok, well done!

[Mudeok] After that, a new era in Mapo began.

[♪ Music concludes]

[Mudeok sighs] You don't need a conscience,

not when it comes to making a living.

With only your fist,

you can eat as much as you want for two meals a day.

This is a fucked up world we're in.

But I don't care as long as I'm okay.

[sighs]

Let's be lawless, all right?

Whether it's a noble or His Majesty,

they don't ever dare mess with the lawless.

♪ I can't go on I can't go on ♪

♪ This is too absurd To go on ♪

Oh, there he goes again.

-It's bullshit, everything he says. -[all laughing]

Yeah. This time, he says, he stabbed a man with a sickle.

[Malbok] Last time, he said it was a pickax.

[Walwal laughing] A pickax?

I think it's different every time.

-[Malbok] Next, it'll be a hoe. -[Jungbok laughing] Right.

[all laughing]

[♪ Somber piano music playing]

I heard what happened in Mapo.

-Apparently, the damage is extensive. -I'm sorry.

Almost half of the silk was soaked through.

The cost of medicine and acupuncture will be quite high.

But we should care for the injured.

The key to trade is calculations.

Stubbornness shouldn't get in the way.

Calculate the losses and profits

and go down the path that results in the most gain.

[Jung Chun] Excuse me.

Is that clear?

Yes, Father.

[shop owner] Assistant Officer? Sir, what brings you here?

Are you looking for anything in particular?

-No, but I have a question. -Of course.

I'm looking for someone.

A man from Hamgyeong do with large, sharp eyes.

Have you seen anyone like that?

Um, I have not seen anyone like that.

May I ask if anything's wrong?

[sighs] Understood.

Assistant Officer, sir.

Here. Please take good care of us.

-What is this? -This is the inspection charge, sir.

And why are you giving this to me?

Is this not generous enough for you, sir?

-Well, is there something else I can... -Are you...

My lady.

Is there a problem here, sir?

Not at all. Sir, this is the young leader of Choi's guild.

She owns the salt storage.

What's wrong?

Is it not enough for the inspection charge?

What?

You're saying...

You're saying the bandits who control the dock

bribed the Police Bureau officers.

And that, in return,

the officers turned a blind eye?

Yes. And that's not all.

There's a rain charge on rainy days, flood charge for flooding,

plus a torch charge at night.

There's also a rush charge for changing the order.

And on top of that, if we pay the laborers,

the bandits take half of it.

[sighing] How could they?

They're collecting unapproved charges and paying them to the government office?

Perhaps they are.

You know what I saw?

A bandit and a certain official embracing each other at the procession

as if they were allies.

It's no wonder this country has issues.

-With men like that as our officials... -Is that right?

And how are you certain that he is a bandit?

Are you saying that I'm wrong?

He would rather starve to death than engage in pointless violence.

I know that much.

If I experienced his cruel behavior,

would that answer your question?

[sighs softly]

If you're not in collusion with him,

I sincerely apologize.

Assistant Officer Jung is desperate to poke around the docks.

Three old men can't succeed in managing one child?

[clicks tongue]

And the horses?

Yes, sir. I did match the number of horses with the ledger.

He may be young, but he's difficult to manage.

I guess you weren't a good enough teacher.

You left him unchecked. He's made a mess already.

Should we follow the law?

It was your oversight,

so go handle it yourselves.

Eliminating tricky pests

is one of my specialties.

I'll take care of it. Trust me.

DONGHONARU

[man] Brother!

[panting]

Brother Chadol! [pants]

[groans]

Brother Chadol! Brother!

Wang Hae's clan is storming in!

Get out of my way! Move!

It's an invasion. Look, look, look.

[♪ Sinister music playing]

Over there.

Arm yourselves.

Attack!

-[squelching] -[groans softly]

Stay, you will join forces with me.

If you do, we will be brothers.

If you don't, we're foes.

[laughs]

I surrender.

You'll be the thumb from this moment on.

I kneel to you.

Brother,

long may you live.

I shall unify the Gyeonggang River.

And then,

I shall hold the new title to this land.

[Mudeok] Brother Chadol bowed to him?

Yeah.

And Wanghae's clan of only five,

they wiped Dongho clean like it was nothing.

Easy as shucking corn.

Hey, no way! This isn't child's play.

How could five people take on Dongho and win?

I'm telling you. That's what happened. I saw it with my own eyes.

Gaechun, tell me every little thing you saw.

In my whole life,

I have never seen anyone who fought so well.

There weren't that many. Just five.

They weren't even intimidated.

And Wanghae had this crazy look in his eyes.

[grunts]

[grunting]

[yelling]

-You really scared me. -Scary, right?

They knocked out 10 men like this.

There was also a woman.

She moved lightly through the wind,

like a leaf... gliding through the breeze.

[grunts] Flutter, flutter, flutter.

Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle.

[vocalizing]

[yelping]

She'd strike and retreat. They'd go flying!

-[Malbok] Brother! -[Mudeok] Shit!

Brother! Brother!

Brother!

There's an emergency meeting for the thumbs right now.

-Huh? -[Malbok] And our boss,

he also headed out to Chilgak Temple.

-Brother. -Yeah?

It's just... would the assistant official allow it?

We need permission from him to fight for the port.

-[Mudeok] Hmm. -Wow. This'll be bad.

It could cause a ruckus.

[Dochi] How dare he!

This filthy bastard!

A barbarian playing thumb of Gyeonggang River.

Are you going to do something?

He must have thought we were fools

to come to our territory and start swinging a knife around.

Son of a bitch! We should slit that bastard's throat.

Yes! The docks belong to us.

A filthy barbarian has no place here.

We must send a strong message.

If we don't, who knows what this barbarian will do?

My Lord, allow me to take care of it.

-Grant me permission. -[chuckles softly]

[Wanghae] Announcing the new thumb of Dongho.

Wanghae is here to pay respects.

How dare you set foot in here, you barbarian?

I trust I find you in health and high spirits.

[groans softly]

-[chuckles softly] -[Gangseop] We should rip that tongue

right out of your fucking mouth.

Allow me.

Gangseop.

Huh?

You've drawn your knife in haste.

Allow him to at least talk to us first.

[grunts]

My lord, allow me to bow to you.

I am Wanghae, and I'm from Hoeryeong.

[grunts]

[chuckles softly]

You made ties with Joseon when you were a guide

during the expeditions up north.

That is correct.

How can I ever trust someone who betrayed his people

to save himself?

I don't think you understand.

We barbarians are not all the same, and you're not my people.

But becoming a Joseon subject is for survival.

Does that answer your question?

[laughs]

Yes, it does.

How will you pay for your life?

Got anything to trade?

I'll suppress the bandits in all eight provinces.

They'll be under your feet, my lord.

And, eventually, you will become...

the undisputed thumb here.

[laughs]

The flowers will bloom under your rule.

Just let me plant the seeds.

Okay.

I'll let you live.

-My Lord... -Your ridiculous flattery...

saved you.

-You must not let that bastard get away. -Why?

Isn't this rather good?

You fear the Japanese.

This keeps them in check.

-[grumbles] -[Lee Dolgae] What?

Didn't this work out well?

[all grumble]

[chuckles softly]

I will pave the way for you.

For mold like you to thrive in this world,

I'll give you what you need.

A dark and damp environment.

[laughs]

Good luck thriving.

[♪ Suspenseful music playing]

As you ordered,

Wanghae is now authorized.

[groaning] Oh, my goodness. Huh?

The rice tastes delicious today.

Wait till I become second in command. Hmm.

-It'll only get better. -[all laughing]

-Things are looking up, boys. -Yeah, yeah.

[groans softly]

Baby, with this cute little butt.

Eat some more, huh?

You're gonna have to fight soon.

Also, as of now, just call me "Brother."

[laughs]

He's not even listening.

Brother?

Brother Siyul?

You want something?

Hey, you need to change the way you speak.

How do you mean?

[mimicking] "How do you mean?"

[in normal voice] That's how you're speaking.

He's right. When you're with us, you can change the way you speak,

so you don't sound so classy, right?

And you can curse a lot, too.

Right. Here.

Repeat after me.

You son of a bitch! I'm gonna rip your fucking brains apart!

Fuck! Then I'm gonna slurp it all up, you fucking piece of useless shit!

You should practice that one. Practice.

-[Walwal] That was great. -[Jungbok] Try it.

[all laughing]

No.

The word "bitch" is a disrespectful reference

to your mother.

I think it's for the best never to use that word, okay?

My goodness. Are you a Buddhist or what?

Just repeat after him. It's not that difficult.

-No, no, no. -Come on. Go for it.

-Yeah. -[mumbles]

-I'm good. -[all groaning]

Come on. You've got to close your eyes and just give it a go.

Yeah, yeah.

-Do it, you little shit. -Huh?

Listen here, you fucking son of a bitch!

I'll crack your head.

Forget it.

I'm not very good.

You didn't even try.

Why do I feel so offended?

[Malbok] That son of a bitch.

Fuck!

[all laughing]

My goodness! That idiot got beat up again.

What's wrong? Got hit in the head?

Is this funny to you?

Chunsik, that son of a bitch!

I'll fucking kill him!

Poor baby. Looks like somebody still hasn't learned their lesson.

Ah, come on. Just leave him alone.

All bandits have to get beat up a little to grow.

Hey, Malbok. Come here and slap on some dwenjang. Come on.

-Blood? -[Jungbok] Just eat your food, you idiot!

[all laughing]

One day, I swear I will fucking kill him! That bastard!

Chunsik, that asshole.

Why should we feed him? He doesn't deserve it.

[grunts]

[snoring]

Brother, please.

Can we talk for a minute?

Are you okay? Not hurt anywhere.

-I am hurt. -Tell me where.

That son of a bitch.

He jumped me, hit me right in the face.

This isn't the first time he's done this.

And look, he doesn't really scare me.

I swear, I'm not scared of him.

But he's taller than me and much stronger.

Might there be a way to beat him?

Try making a fist for me.

Meet me outside.

Neck...

[♪ whimsical music playing]

Heart...

[groans softly]

And crotch.

-Those are the key vitals. -Oh.

[groans]

Are you in pain?

[straining] Not at all. I'm okay.

Which vital was that one?

[groans]

[groaning]

You... You could have killed me.

If you hit any of those key vitals, the fight is over.

-Understood? -[groans softly]

Your turn.

[yells, whimpers]

Next time, I'll teach you some techniques to unbalance your opponent.

What?

Whoa, whoa! Ow!

Brother!

Can I call you that?

[pants]

Sure.

[♪ Music concludes]

Thanks, brother.

[Lee Dolgae] Think twice before acting up.

The thumbs are more venomous than vipers, nowadays.

They're full of spite.

I don't think it's worth provoking them.

For now, you should try to lay low and wait.

Are you afraid of who could be watching?

Is laying low beneath you?

Are you superior to everyone else?

I only took you in because it was the lord's order.

But if your hard work brings us many rewards,

I wouldn't have a single reason to refuse you.

I'll bring in double the amount of what you get now.

Just don't use the swords.

The aftermath is quite the mess.

Be sure to get home safe in the dark.

You too.

You wouldn't want to get hurt.

-[worker] Yes? -May I ask you a question?

[worker] Yes, my lord.

I'm looking for someone.

Perhaps you've seen him. A tall man with a strong build.

-[worker] Pardon. -He's a young man from Hamgyeong do

with large, sharp eyes.

Really think carefully.

[worker] I'm not sure, my lord.

Very well.

[Jungbok] Brother! Brother!

-[panting] Brother! Brother! -[Walwal] What? What is it? What?

What's got you so worked up?

The Police Bureau is looking for someone.

-It's brother Siyul, I think. -What?

Police Bureau? [stutters]

Where...

Siyul!

Siyul!

Hey, Chunsik, let's fight today!

[♪ Upbeat rock music playing]

[all laughing]

[Malbok] That's him, the piece of shit who beat me.

Promise me you won't step in, brother.

Let me handle this trash.

[scoffs]

Unless you wanna get punched in the face too,

-I suggest you all back up. -[indistinct chatter, laughter]

Looks like you still haven't learned your lesson.

Maybe if we cripple him, his dumb ass will finally get the message.

-He's so pathetic. -[grunts]

[all gasping]

[indistinct chatter]

-You little runt, I was talking. -[grunts]

[all laughing]

What was that? Huh?

[grunts]

Come here!

Come at me! Come on!

[Malbok yells]

[boy] Hey! Wait!

-[grunts] -[groans]

[yells]

[Chunsik screams]

Holy shit!

[Chunsik screams]

See that? That was just a preview.

You even think about it, I'll smash your crotch in, too!

-[yells] -[boys gasping]

[yells]

Brother! Brother!

We're in trouble.

What now?

[panting] Bang is heading this way.

He's coming over here with his guys.

Find Siyul! Hurry! Come on.

-Let's go! -Siyul!

[♪ Suspenseful music playing]

-Hey, Siyul! -[Walwal] Siyul!

[Jungbok] Where are you? Look here! Look here!

Brother! Brother Siyul! Siyul!

[panting]

Find him?

-[panting] Not here. -[Walwal] Siyul!

Siyul!

[panting] Brother!

We looked everywhere and can't find him. He's gone!

Wait! Is he taking a shit?

-No, Gaechun already checked the shithole! -Oh fuck! Did he just get up and go?

Why the hell do you think he'd run away from me?

Shut your mouth and keep searching, you idiot!

Wait. Where's Malbok?

He's also missing.

I haven't seen him for a while.

What if...

they're together?

Hey, find them already. Get those two over here.

[sighing] This is bad.

[panting] What do we do?

-Hurry up and search the area. -[all] Yes!

[laughing] Hi, there! Oh, wow!

Mapo's so beautiful today, isn't it? [laughs]

[groans] Look at your face.

I guess life is treating you well.

It's all because of you.

-Listen. -[Mudeok] Yes?

Lots of people who try to piss in my territory

lose their lives.

[sighing] Oh, brother.

What's with the harsh tone today?

Tell me where the tall one is.

[stuttering] Who?

Did you think I wouldn't know?

Where the hell is he?

-[stuttering] -Brother, I can't find him anywhere.

Maybe he saw this coming and took off.

[groaning] Oh! This is driving me crazy. [sighs]

If I had my way, I would just skin you all alive

right where we stand.

-Come with me. -[stuttering] Where?

You're gonna see brother Yoon now.

[stuttering] Oh... Why?

Just do what I say and stop asking so many questions, okay?

Sure, brother. I'll go.

[chuckles softly]

I should let you know I have to take a dump right now.

[chuckles] Would it be all right if I went really quick?

Why do you always make me say things twice?

I've had enough. Take him away.

-Hey! Hey. Hey. -Son of a bitch!

How dare you put your hands on me?

Enough!

Just give up and come with us.

You little brat! Let go of me right now!

[grunting]

[grunts]

Piece of shit!

-Boo! -[whimpers]

[yelps, groans]

[indistinct chatter]

[man exclaiming] Oh, yeah!

[whimpering]

[groans softly]

[man exclaiming] Yeah! We got them now!

Why, boss? Why are you doing this?

I've heard some talk...

that you've been hanging out with the man who beat up Bang.

[shuddering]

No, no. That's utter nonsense.

Who said that? Was it one of you? That's not true.

-Is that so? -Uh-huh. Of course.

I heard what happened.

I felt sorry for our poor brother.

-[chuckles] -My heart was in sorrow and pain,

and... [groans]

Who is it? Is he here?

I want to see your damn face!

I hear you're quite a fighter.

He must have got scared and scurried away like a mouse.

Really?

-Brother. -Huh?

I warned you.

-Get him. -[Bang] Yes, boss.

-[Gaechun] Brother! -[yelps]

[Bang] All right, get the club.

-[Gaechun] Let him go! -Come on!

[Walwal] Please don't kill him! Please don't!

[Gaechun] Don't! Please don't!

[Walwal] Mudeok is so sorry!

Please don't hurt him.

-[wailing] -[Bang] Stay still, will you!

-[wailing] Let go! -If you become crippled,

I'll give you this stick, and you can use it as a cane, all right?

No! I beg you!

Stop moving around,

or all of this will be worse for you.

Ah! You bastard!

You get off of me!

-He keeps squirming! -Ahh! Boss! Boss, please!

Hey, Deokgae!

[wailing] Boss! They're gonna kill me! Help!

Please save me!

Are you ready?

-[Walwal wailing] Brother! -[Gaechun] Brother!

[Bang] Shut up and hold him!

Come on!

-Hold him tighter. -[grunting]

[Yoon] Hold him tight.

Get it together.

Look at the balls on you...

coming for the forefinger position.

[sobbing]

[crashing]

[man] Who are you? [groans]

[whimpering]

Brother, he's here.

[chuckles]

[sighing] Oh, Siyul!

So you're Mudeok's right-hand man.

Just let him go.

Nice face.

-Let's break it! -[yelling]

[groaning]

[yelps, groans]

[♪ Suspenseful music playing]

-He is loyal. -He's with us.

[Bang] Oh, shit!

Don't just stand around gawking.

Get in there and cripple this asshole!

-[yelling] -[grunts]

Brother! Brother!

Brother!

Are you all right?

It's okay.

You're barely off your mother's tit, and you think you're something, huh?

-[shudders] -[Jungbok] He's got a knife.

All right. Fine.

Hope you enjoy the smell of your own blood. Come on.

[all gasping]

-[squelching] -[all gasping]

[Malbok] What happened?

[Siyul breathing heavily]

-[groans] -[yelling]

[screaming]

-[all gasping] -[exhales]

[Deokgae] Enough!

[groans softly]

Yoon,

if you're gonna use a knife, at least show some class.

Everyone, as you were.

Get the wounded inside.

And you.

Come with me.

Let's have a drink.

Go! Go, go! Go on! Follow him!

What? I asked you to come.

Go, go! Go! Go on.

[softly] Go.

I do not drink.

I think I'll just be leaving now.

[panting] Have you lost your fucking mind?

Boss,

since he is my underling,

I will make sure he understands his place.

Yes, sir.

Move it, you idiot! [grumbles]

Look, you're obviously very skilled.

So work for me, and you'll get to have fun.

Run the clan for a bit.

You can do that, right?

I have no desire to be a bandit.

-Oh, shit. -[Yoon] Brother,

you don't want to put up with this idiot every day.

What you need is a good beating, huh?

[Deokgae] Yoon,

I'm not sure that you can handle this man all on your own.

[gasping] You bitch!

Go to him. Go!

[Walwal] Oh, my goodness. He's crazy!

Go, you idiot!

[Deokgae] Look.

You're not the only one with pride here.

[♪ Dramatic music playing]

[gasping]

Well, then,

I'll have to teach you a lesson,

reestablish order around here.

And if that order is not to your liking,

then remake it so that it is.

That's the sort of grit real men have.

What do you say to that?

Don't be stupid.

I know what you're thinking. Just back down.

-Let's fight. -[all groaning]

Very good, then.

I don't need to ask twice.

[all whimpering]
