Episode 23

Follow me.

Afraid I won't?!

This is not the time to argue.

I told you.

Those good at trailing can be just as good at fleeing.

There's even jacks of all trades who can be master at all of them.

Come on.

The rest?

Methinks they've lost our traces.

And where could the troops possibly be positioned, to lose us?

Transfer the wounded and remove all the dead!

Yes!

Lose them, and the court martial shall await you all.

I shall head to the Royal Embassy,

so find our troops and deploy them from there.

Did the crown prince entrap you?

If this was a trap, there would be many more troops.

No archers were deployed either, so...

- So it's not a trap?! - Indeed.

So we fled from a dhole and ended up straight into the tiger's claws.

What are you trying to say?

Unless it's a trap, how could he possibly find us here?

Hwang Cheolwoong knows what you're scheming.

Let's go.

- Aigoo... - Aigoo.

Here's business for the night going up in flames...

Why do they keep prancing around setting things on fire, instead of drinking?!

Seeing all these shenanigans can only tell you this country is doomed.

Aigoo... Aigoo!

Don't even mention such cursed nonsense.

If this country is doomed, how about business here?

Why are you blaming me?!

Did I set that place on fire?

Is this country doomed because of me?

It's just that you keep yapping the same clatter all day like a woodpecker!

Uh?!

I didn't just hear yapping like a pecker, uh?!

Who is second to none when it comes to oral skills?

Isn't that you?

Me?

When? Have you seen me?

Ever seen me do that?

Ahh... Why, need to see the pecker to know it'll poke on wood?

Unless it was doing that all day, why would they call it that?

Aigoo... Anyhow...

Look at him making up nonsense the first chance he gets...

From here on in,

don't even think of showing up at my door.

What are you doing? Go clean up the tables!

Yes, Seongnim...

Why take it out on me?

What are you waiting for? Go ask for mercy.

Do you really want her to kick you out?

Why are you being grumpy with me?

A tiger bites you and you kick the mutt down the street?

Still waiting here?

All right! I'm going!

They're going to drive me batty, really...

May you bring General Choi back...

May you bring General Choi...

Aigoo! My General Choi...

May you bring General Choi back...

Darling!

Darling.

Darling? Who are you calling that?

Aigoo! Aigoo! Aigoo!

Where are you touching?

Where? Where do you think, uh?

Is it the thighs, or where the sun doesn't shine?!

Aigoo... Whatever!

Go sleep in the other room.

Come here, uh?!

Let's go in.

The night is always young for me.

Aigoo... Listen to that.

Let go.

People are looking.

Ahh... And who could ever be looking?

And if they do, so what?

Uh?!

As if you didn't like it...

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with you?

May you allow my General Choi...

to finally come back to me safe and sound.

May you allow my General Choi...

to finally... come back to me safe and sound.

May you allow my General Choi...

Little Jumo...

It's me, Daegil. Missed me?

You know you'll have to keep your mouth shut, uh?

I'm letting go now.

Are you crazy?

How could you come back here?

No need to get nervous around me.

Why did you come back here? And how did you survive?

Chief Oh is looking for you all over, do you even know Seolhwa was here?

By the way, what is all this about?

The dauber and Big Jumo, have they gone batty?

Is that what matters, now?

My G...

General Choi is eating well and shitting even better, so don't worry.

Aigoo...

I was dying inside at the sole thought...

Where is he now?

Why?

If I tell you, will you go find him?

Of course!

How could any place be far enough not to go?

Enough with the prattling and go get me something to eat.

But, what happened to you?

Did you set that place over there on fire?

Do I look like the kind of twat who would waste time with that?

Then, who did all that?

Jumo.

I'm dying of hunger in here. Let's have something to eat.

All right.

First, eat something.

Two servings.

Even a dozen wouldn't be a problem,

so wait a moment.

By any chance, is there anyone else in Hanyang who can help you?

Would they be crazy enough to help a slave hunter?

It's resentment in every quarter, enemies waiting for you down every street.

Then, I'll have to surmise the fire at the Tribute Bureau...

is not connected to our ordeals.

Why would that interest you?

It's not like you can go out there and stare at all the spectacle.

Can we trust this place's keepers?

A lot more than any of those donning official robes.

At least they show some concern for you.

Don't make such scathing generalizations.

Listen to that...

You still don't get it after all this?

Why would there not be yangban of principles...

who value integrity above all?

Slandering them all a priori is wrong.

And they wonder why vermin always praise the leeches...

Are you not of yangban ancestry yourself?

There was such a time in the past.

But, you know?

Once you start wearing the same things and eating like they do,

you become just like them.

What makes a yangban is not his genealogy,

but these and nothing else.

I have never seen someone with fancy garments endure adversities,

nor have I seen anyone in rags leading a happy life.

That is the truth behind our lives.

Ever fought to the bitter end to discover the truth?

Fighting to the end and then accepting reality is the only truth.

You sure enjoy looking for trouble.

Must feel great knowing so much, for a slave like you.

What is perturbing you so much, Hyungnim?

We've been only killing yangban all this time,

but I killed a man today.

I even knew his name, Gangaji.

Could there be a triumph without sacrifices?

I myself had to kill that Giyoon.

What?!

I killed him.

He was filching the money you so arduously collected,

both while exchanging those drafts, and by purchasing fewer matchlocks.

Then...

All that money inside the jar...

Yes.

I knew he would do that.

Old vices become new habits.

There are times when you yourself need to kill people on your side.

We need to overcome that, if we want to change the world.

If we triumph, and then force yangban into slavery,

then nothing would really change.

A world which doesn't discriminate between classes is never going to come.

Once you gain power, it's only natural people will work under you.

What we're going after is that power, Hyungnim.

Can we gain that power but still leave the yangban alone?

By... What was it... Changing the system?!

People might change the system,

but the system can never change people.

Yes...

I should have known better...

What would... What would I possibly...

Hey! Eopbok!

Here's our Eopbok!

Why are you back here?

It's chaos down there.

Those cudgel-carrying fools are frantically wandering all over the place,

as if they'd gone all batty.

Ahh... We did cause a commotion, didn't we?!

Need to mention it? The streets of Hanyang are all in tumult!

While we were at it, we should have gone all the way to the palace...

But we were a little occupied, you know...

Spend the night here,

and head down in the early morn.

Ahh... We're so elated we could even sleep underwater!

That's right.

Once men find their calling, fire could rage even underwater.

The joys of enlightenment... Making poetry out of every layman's word.

You can go back up, and we shall meet again later.

But it's so dangerous, must you really go?

It's our world anyhow, why would I let anything daunt me?

Then...

Look at him, sparkling with light even from the back.

It's so bright I can't even stare...

Hey! Over here.

Here.

You little vermin, did you stuff your ears with horse shit?

A quick look and you seem like a pitiful minion,

why are you prancing around all stiff? Uh?!

Quite the haughty resolve for a mere bureau officer.

- You little... - You knave!

Do you even know whom you're facing?

And who the hell would I be...

I... I really don't know?!

You don't know.

- Me?! - No...

May you pardon us for not recognizing you...

What are you waiting for? Pay your respects.

Greetings.

How could you let those varmints set the Tribute Bureau on fire?

Ahh... Yes... It wasn't really our area of competence, and...

Did I ever ask for your paltry pretexts?

As I was saying...

In the morrow, you shall be held responsible.

Out of my sight.

Yes.

Ahh... Who is he?

The hell would I know?!

He's oozing resolve!

Couldn't he be an inspector working incognito or something?!

Not your average specimen, for sure.

He's all sturdy and intimidating, for a little moppet.

You have another at home, don't you?

How have you been faring?

I laud your efforts in this vexatious task.

I shall not refute any due credit.

Indeed...

Leave us.

Leave as well.

Would you find merriment without a woman?

It is no time for merriment.

Yes...

I shall serve you drinks and await outside.

Seeing in what frenzy the capital is, you must have succeeded.

We completely destroyed all three cellars at the Tribute Bureau.

So... Let us hear the details.

I gathered a few dozen slaves.

After telling them there would be hundreds of others in Hanyang alone,

and thousands all over the eight provinces, it seemingly invigorated them with hope.

With the imminent prospect of attacking the Slave Tribunal,

they're feeling as if their world has come.

Those paltry minions...

Give them a shred of hope, and they'll follow you to the gallows.

There were even those who clamored for a world without class discrimination.

I'm afraid that's out of the question...

Hope shall always end as that.

When it turns into a belief,

it becomes dangerous.

It is certainly amusing to witness them,

but I would like to hasten and attack the Slave Tribunal.

We will first need to see how the situation in the court evolves.

I wish to end it as soon as possible.

I didn't want to be forced to say this...

But I'm even calling those minions "Hyungnim," now.

Calling slaves "Hyungnim"?!

I could certainly endure that much,

but the smell is just insufferable.

Even only grazing past them, the stench is so foul that,

great endeavor or not, I'd just like to slay them on the spot.

Who is that young fellow?

I merely saw him twice before,

but I have no idea myself.

I think I have never seen His Excellency abandon himself in such hearty guffaws.

Are you curious?

A little?!

The deeper your curiosity,

the faster adversity will haunt you.

I must extend to you my gratitude for your written retort.

Once this is over, will you also accord me a position as promised?

Which position would you be interested in?

Guarding the palace would more than suffice.

I was born with a blade in my hands,

so would it not be fitting to serve His Majesty by protecting him?

Right.

A man like you should aspire to enter the Royal Palace Guard.

If this keeps up, it won't be long, right?

I have no idea.

It sure is no laughing matter, when a country is at stake.

Those constables were falling like leaves, earlier.

That's why it's even stranger.

How could it be so easy to accomplish all this?

Why, wanted something a little more difficult?

It's not that,

but when things go wrong, you always have some kind of countermeasure in place,

but we have nothing of that sort, so how couldn't it make you nervous?

Just in case...

Of course nothing of that sort could happen,

but if we can't do it, our children will.

That will do it,

why do you always worry so much?

Because I have no children.

Why, I do?!

They were sold off, and I don't even know if they made it alive...

Why would Military Training Command troops be deployed on patrol here?

They practically have blocked any access to the Royal Embassy.

Not the Capital Bureau, but the Training Command...

Did General Song come here?

Even if he did, he would never penetrate through this surveillance.

So we lost all contact with Fan,

and they're impeding General Song from entering?!

We must make a move.

Make sure we can notify General Song of our departure route and date.

Tell us how.

What return signal did we use for our spies?

Was it not "Yiojeono, Docheongdoseol"?

Spread talebearing where it will easily proliferate.

Yes.

Sleep.

We'll take turns standing guard.

Will you head for Qing territory?

We must go.

How?

I plan to ride a boat with the Qing delegation.

Don't even try to jest with me.

If you meet with the envoys and ask to tag along, will they oblige?

They already pledged their support.

Then...

Are you telling me they even set a date for departure?

We will soon receive word from the Royal Embassy.

When?

How would they know you're here?

Do you know the art of war?

Enough with the annoying diversions, speak your mind.

I trust you've never experienced war.

In war, things people could never imagine can become commonplace.

Even when communications are cut, relaying information is not an issue.

I wish what you say was right.

What were troops on patrol doing?

It was such a sudden onslaught,

not to mention the fact they were carrying weaponry.

Who asked for pretexts?!

My apologies.

So there were slaves amongst the insurgents?

Yes, Your Excellency.

If even slaves assisted them,

then we could consider this as the first sparks of an insurrection.

We shall petition His Majesty to tame public fervor...

and cope with the escalating severity of these crimes...

through a sweeping census reform.

Considering this happened within capital walls,

merely capturing the culprits wouldn't quell our quandaries at the root.

This is a crucial juncture which shall forever impact our country's very foundations,

so I trust the entire court...

shall not trample upon our efforts by fomenting opposition.

Yes, Your Excellency.

Just because slaves were involved,

how could you surmise those same slaves instigated all this?

Even recent episodes of violence against yangban...

were masterminded by slaves, in our estimation.

We shan't orchestrate such massive reforms or pursuit of such large scale...

solely based upon assumption.

Did you not envision that such excessive measures...

could further deplete our royal coffers, and only exacerbate the populace's discontent?

Sire.

It is crucial to the prolonged survival of our country.

Should you apprehend throngs of runaway slaves through a concerted pursuit,

and expose labor deserters with a sweeping census reform,

we would be graced with a workforce of over a hundred thousand.

By sending this workforce to build fortifications at our northern frontier,

we would eliminate any corvee-related quandaries,

and even prepare for an eventual conflict with the Qing.

What Your Excellency proposes is right.

I am in awe at your magnanimity for acknowledging my humble motion.

However, now is not the time.

As you suggest, should there be a single foretoken of a probable insurrection,

we shall consider it then.

I am humbled by your keen discernment, Sire.

How could you dare defy my commands?

We decided that maintaining surveillance at the Royal Embassy was paramount.

And following my orders wasn't?

Your Excellency, I apologize...

If we had been in battle, you would have been executed.

While maintaining patrol at the embassy, inspect every inch of the capital!

Is that clear?

Yes!

Your mother is here.

Why did you come all the way here?

Aigoo... Here you are.

And what is all this?

I was so worried, I just couldn't stay put.

I'd heard the entire capital was in tumult...

I am just fine, so you don't need to worry.

These days, you never visit...

I can understand your duties keep you occupied, but...

Are you all right?

I'm... just fine...

Everything is all right, I hope?

Don't overwork yourself,

and never let all this dishearten you.

Did you take your medication?

Ahh... What medication...

Ohh... I did.

I took it.

Take a look at this, my dear.

These are primroses.

It's rare for them to bloom in winter,

but I managed to find these.

They fought the wintry gales to bloom,

so people say that they can cure just about anything.

You take one, your spouse the other,

and it'll be good for your health,

and even for giving birth...

Mother!

You go out looking for flowers in this wintry spell,

so it's only natural you would get a cold.

Still...

This is so rare and precious,

and it's not even sold anywhere.

I must leave now.

Take your medication,

and rest where it's warm.

My men will escort you home.

So, did the ungulates accompany you, as per our bargain?

Yes, Naeuri.

I brought two calves, and this is the boy I was talking about.

I shall serve you from now on, my name is Nokswe.

Fine, fine.

Shortcomings were fastidiously hampering vigilance,

so never could I let this propitious fortuity pass me by!

Our dealings are complete, so you may take her.

Yes, Naeuri!

Follow me.

Go, and have a good life.

Think you're going to a nice place.

I guess I'll have a good life.

Although I probably won't get married.

From here on in,

I'll become your spouse.

I'll follow you for now,

but I have no intention of becoming your consort.

Destiny put us together this way, so let us not defy its will.

You won't have to endure the hardships you do now.

Let's get going.

Let's hear.

Ever since troops started ransacking the entire capital,

our business has gone astray as well.

Anything else?

While those Qing fools caused a commotion...

Saying they'll take them as servants for the Qing Imperial Family,

they requested, what, one or two thousand girls aged fourteen,

and said they would bring them there via boat.

All parents with daughters are on the run... It's chaos.

All right.

You can go for now.

By the way...

Right, General Choi.

I'll send word myself, so stop worrying.

I'll pester him to get himself a missus,

so you just wait here and he'll come on his own.

Aigoo... Do you...

need to go that far?!

Go.

All right!

Heard?

Interpret it.

Girls aged fourteen...

Transported via boat.

What's with the one to two thousand?

It's a rule to eliminate all vague figures.

The date will be the fourteenth day.

And if they said by boat...

They'll traverse the Yellow Sea.

It'll be from Ganghwa Island, then.

Sure you're not just guessing?

We couldn't board from the mainland,

so the quickest route would be Ganghwa Island.

If it's the fourteenth...

We only have three days left.

Makes no sense.

Passing through Chungju and all the way to Ganghwa, in three days?!

If we acquire horses...

We'll be caught without even escaping the capital.

Is there no other...

If we send word to Jjakgwi to bring them here...

- Can you find someone to send word? - Little Jumo can easily take care of that.

If we meet in Yongin and then head to Ganghwa Island,

we might arrive on time.

So you are departing?

Yes, Sire.

We have abused your hospitality for much too long.

It is lamentable we are leaving without any propitious parting words.

So you're clamoring us to provide servants for the Imperial Family?

Aged fourteen, a few thousand.

That is indeed the case.

But I do feel a hint of derision against your Joseon brethren,

possibly stemming from our failure to entrust Seokgyeon to your care.

That is not the case, Sire.

How could I besmirch diplomacy with personal whims?

That is the sole interpretation at my disposal,

so I cannot help but dismiss your request.

I shall convey it to His Majesty the Emperor.

I wish you a peaceful journey.

I trust temperate climate will support your decision to depart.

Here...

How can I reach Mount Worak by the eventide?

I told you that you'd get paid double the price.

- By whom? - Me!

Ehh... Then, the horses will tire?

You can change them along the way.

I'll even pay you for the horses.

Ahh... If that is the case...

You can read, can't you?

"Bring the child to Mount Jobi in Yongin,"

"while Choi's retinue must proceed to the tavern at the crossroads in Yicheon."

That is all.

Choi's retinue to the tavern at the crossroads in Yicheon?!

All right. Get going.

At the crossroads in Yicheon...

Wait.

Why is this place so quiet?

Why would it be quiet?

It's just as it always is.

Did Chobok go somewhere?

You didn't know?

She got married.

What?!

What's with the surprise?

Wait!

Wait a moment.

- Just a moment. - Keep quiet!

Milord is inside.

What is that supposed to mean?

- Who got married? - I said keep your voice down.

Why would Chobok get married? And to whom?

You fool, are you out of your mind?

Let go! Where did Chobok go?

You knave!

How dare you raise your voice in my presence?!

Naeuri!

Where did you send Chobok?

Why did you send her away without a word?

Ohh Ohh! The humanity...

What are you waiting for? Get him out of my sight!

Yes, Naeuri!

Why marry her off against her wishes?

Are we beasts you can trade?

You varlet!

Who did you sell Chobok to?

Who the hell are you?

Who are you, to sell people as you please?

Who do you think you are?

Imprison this varlet and don't give him a sip of water until he perishes!

Yes, Naeuri!

Tonight?!

We will hit the Slave Tribunal tonight?

Yes.

Meseems the attack at the Tribute Bureau did not suffice.

- We must strike them with more resolve. - Surveillance should be strict...

It would be much more dangerous.

I plan to gather two hundred men today.

If we all attack the Tribunal at once,

those troops will be trampled upon with ease.

Let's do it!

We turned the Tribute Bureau upside down with a few dozen people,

with two hundred people, forget the Slave Tribunal,

we could go straight for the palace.

That's right. We could even attack the Qing.

With our morale on the rise and our foes feeling challenged,

we shall take this opportunity to show them our resolve.

Then, when...

Have some rest, then escape,

and we shall all gather at the hour of the swine (9~11pm).

You fool...

You should repent as if being dead,

if you want me to implore Milord to release you.

And is living this way any different from being dead?

Just let us tie you, for now.

Ajeosshi.

Take Banjjak with you and run away.

I killed her keeper.

What?

Don't try to follow me!

Hey! Eopbok!

Y...Y...You fool...

How dare you barge in here?

Listen well to what I say.

Are we human beings or not?

Is... anyone out there?

We're human beings just like you, why sell us off as you please?

Who did you sell Chobok to?!

Y...You knave...

Biting the hands that feed you...

Did I ever...

sully you lowly miscreants' existence...

with cruelty?

Say what?

Wise men forget insults, as the ungrateful forget benevolence,

so how could you betray my patronage?

You vile...

What's wrong with you?

Rejoice in the fleeting sins of youth,

and you'll repent until old age begets wisdom.

Will you start making some sense?

Just spare me.

Chobok was sold to the Hwangsan clan in Namsan-Gol...

Look, Eopbok.

I was just about to tell you,

it's a relief I found you.

Tonight at the hour of the swine, we'll attack the Slave Tribunal.

Where was that place Gaenom Ajeosshi talked about?

Where runaway slaves gather.

Is anything the matter?

Hurry up and tell me!

Was... it Mount Worak's summit?!

Cheon of sky, Ji of soil.

Hyeon of black, Hwang of yellow. Woo of house, Ju of house.

Hong of large, Hwang of rough.

What is it?

"Hwang" came once already?

The first means yellow, the second rough.

You might pronounce them the same, but the meaning changes.

So what's the difference between the "woo" and "ju" of house?

They both mean house,

but there's both "Woo" and "Ju."

Should we just learn the vulgar script?

Cheon of sky, Ji of soil.

Hyeon of black...

By the way,

why is it "soil" and not just "land"?

You can read it that way, if you prefer.

Cheon of sky, Ji of soil...

Ji of land?! Soil?!

Why are you trying to learn this?

You know how to read and write.

You speak subtly and behave with discretion.

Don't try to resemble anyone else.

Think of how charming you already are...

Also, people keep looking down on me.

If I learn the learned script, let alone the vulgar one,

then they'll stop doing that.

While you learn how to read,

will you teach me how to play the haegeum?

You mean it?

Yes.

But I'm really in no position to teach anyone...

Everybody can both teach and learn from anyone.

Considering this path is all in the open, let's use it.

But should the troops manage to surround us, we would be trapped.

I know this path and there's nothing to worry, so we can use it.

They could easily be lying in ambush there.

Let's take it easy, shall we?

Why would you need to go all the way to Qing territory?

I might run away to survive,

but I shall not survive by hiding.

What is that supposed to mean? Why?

Have you ever resented this world?

Is there anyone who doesn't?

And that is exactly why.

This place might be filled with alleys, but it's easier to hide as well.

You take this path,

and I'll deal with all the archers from up here.

So you want me to play bait?

Giving up the hound to catch the tiger?

I want you to be that tiger.

I'm counting on you.

Be my guest...

That face of yours...

Have you ever run away?

Yes.

But I'm not going to do that again.

That's wise.

Even if you run, it's filled with slave hunters out there.

It's not because of those slave hunters.

Just because living on the run is not the kind of life I wish for.

You're quite clever.

Here... Let's sleep.

I told you.

I have no intention of becoming your consort.

Chobok!

Chobok!!

Chobok!

Chobok!

Where are you?

Chobok!

So what else are you planning to do?

We already got married!

I...

already have someone.

Chobok!

Chobok, where are you?

Chobok!

Chobok!

Chobok!!

And who are you, howling at this hour?

Chobok!

Where are you?

You still...

Why don't you try and go for it?

Chobok!

Chobok, where are you? Are you here?

Ajeosshi!

Ajeosshi!

You foolish little...

Couldn't you run away?

If I did...

I was worried you wouldn't find me.

Don't move!

What were you seeking my audience for?

We have no more time to squander.

Let us go now.

You harm His Highness and then ask to be let go?

Does it make any sense?

Training Command officers trailing General Song had killed all the guards.

We were already exposed,

so we had no other choice, for your safety's sake.

What are you trying to say?

That those officers are aware of this place?

I'll be damned...

We are imperial guards serving the Qing envoy.

The reason we trailed you was to protect General Song and His Highness.

So all we need to do is hide here and shoot?

Where is Eopbok Hyungnim?

He said he had something to do,

but he'll soon be here, since it's time.

He should hasten...

But, when are the others coming?

You said there would be about two hundred men?!

What two hundred men...

Go.

Where?

If you head to Mount Worak's summit,

there's a place where runaway slaves gather.

And how about you?

I'll have to go fight!

Then I'll come along.

I said just go!

I won't.

Why don't you ever listen?

You're no longer just a runaway slave,

you can't go anywhere now.

Why would you follow me?

Chobok...

I was the one who killed our keeper.

I paid him back for selling you off,

so just go.

You're attacking the Slave Tribunal tonight?

I need to hurry.

It's time already.

Here... Let's begin.

What?!

There's still plenty of time...

and Eopbok is not even here?!

And our two hundred men aren't, either?!

I was ordered to end this quickly,

as the tumult in the capital prohibited us from gathering more men.

On whose orders?

Why, there's someone else issuing orders?

Sure.

The keeper I serve.

Ahh... What is that supposed to mean...

Then, is he a slave as well?

What is wrong with you?

You're acting strange!

- And what about the other men... - Hey...

You smell.

Don't come close.

What?!

I said let's start.

I shall give the signal.

Give me the rifle.

- It's an ambush! - An ambush!!

Why did you do that?

How can we do this by ourselves?

I said you smell!

Ajeosshi!

Ajeosshi!!

Gaenom Ajeosshi! Gaenom Ajeosshi!!

Why?

Why did you do this to us? Why?

Because credulous minions like you are easier to control...

And you treated us like human beings...

Did you just make a fool out of us?

Take them away.

Why...

Why?

If you killed our keeper, you have nowhere to go as well!

Chobok.

Should we just...

run away and live together?

I will hunt,

you will be farming,

we will catch tigers and sell their skin at hefty prices...

You'll watch flowers blossom,

dabble in the water,

and after living together that way,

we'll have children.

Should you and I...

just live that way?

Is that what you wish for?

Going to a place where nobody knows us,

you and I...

No.

Then, who will change the world?

You need to go there and fight.

Thank you.

For saying that.

Chobok...

Since you're much smarter than me,

find that place and wait for me.

Go, and if anyone bothers you,

shoot him dead.

All right?

You'll come, right?

Have you gone batty?

Of course I will.

Need to ask that?

How could I possibly live without you?

I...

will get going.

I wish you well.

~ On The FINAL Episode Of ~ SLAVE ~@~ HUNTERS

But is not chance part of our destiny as well?

There is nothing as powerful as destiny can be.

We live by the card destiny puts in our hands.

Ggeutbong! Wake up!

Run away... and live together with Chobok.

Ggeutbong!!

I wonder if we could have met as compeers, instead.

I'm not going to be friends with any slave.

Don't break your lines and continue on the same pursuit.

She said she'd be waiting for me...

But I'm not going to die like a beast.

I'll have to get going.

Won't you follow us?

Forget the world and Eonnyeon, and just follow me.

I'll have to follow my path.

What is the reason you're doing all this?

What changed you this way?

Anyone bound to this world of ours by something, you know?!

KocHi They're all slaves.
