Original subtitles

I've already been in hell the moment that my brother died.

Hey, you've killed a person before, haven't you?

Meeyo. Hurry.

He's contracted ten fights with the dojo master.

If he backs out of the fight, dojo master will kill him.

~ Episode 6 ~

He's magnificent. He's great!

If you block my way, I'll kill you all.

It'll get rough if you mess with them.

I have some money. Let's settle this with words.

Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!

The match has ended. Let them go.

The match was tedious, but you've made it exciting.

Sell him to me. I'll put him to work as my guard.

Dojo master, we can't do that.

Hey. This is a conversation for adults!

As you have seen, his fighting skills are exceptional.

He'll be a bit expensive.

What did he do before?

He was in the most elite army in Korea.

Was he a martial arts expert?

How much do you want?

My apologies, but we cannot sell him.

You won't sell him?

I can get very irritated, depending on the reason why.

Why won't you sell him?

He will be marrying my daughter soon.

I cannot sell my family members.

Family members?

I wish you much happiness.

Mr. Bahk, don't you want some drinks?

Drinks. Damn those drinks.

Can you drink at a time like this?

There is always a reason why people are poor. Right!

If you had taken the dojo master's money,

you wouldn't be having potatoes with your liquor.

How pathetic!

It's okay on a day like this, right?

That Meeyo.

As they say, the shy cat gets impregnated first.

Hey, Kato. Oversee your daughter well.

She's now treating him like a husband after hearing the word "marriage" in the interaction with the dojo master.

How do you say "husband" in Korean?

Umm...enemy.

It doesn't seem like it.

What about "a couple"?

A traitor.

This is a good sword.

It was passed on to me by my father.

Father.

Father! Father!

Kato!

Kato!

Hang in there just a little longer.

Mr. Bahk will bring the doctor.

Yu...ki....

Honey... Yu... ki...

Aren't you going in there?

Let's let her cry as much as she wants to.

The sea is the grave.

The people here say that the sea is a deathbed.

If you compare this to those who go out to fish but becomes food for the fish when the boat overturns,

I guess this isn't the worst way to die.

Is this Kato's hometown?

No. He said it was someplace where it snows a lot.

Why did he come here?

I don't know the exact details.

The reasons why people can't return home...

well, isn't it the same story for everyone?

He mentioned only once, when he was very drunk, that he couldn't return to his hometown.

He said he had killed a person.

Not just a person, but killed a woman he loved dearly.

Are you planning to see his majesty wearing those soiled boots?

I'm sorry.

I think they got soiled at the court jailhouse when I visited Suk Joo.

Do you know many men were banished for poor presence?

I will keep that in mind.

How was Suk Joo?

He's trying to make the best of it.

He wasn't eating well, so I had some mushroom porridge sent in.

That was an unnecessary thing to do.

Pardon?

Father-in-law.

You're probably on duty now.

You didn't need to come all the way here.

The Sung Kewn Academy's Confucian scholars are holding a public protest.

They've congregated at the south main palace entrance.

They are savvy intellectuals well versed in politics.

It may be better for you to take another route.

Father, I think that would be better.

The main entrance is blocked, so go through the dog's door.

That's not what I meant.

I understood you well.

However...

once one bows their head, then next comes bowing from your waist.

I will go as I usually do.

Yes sir.

Just how many petitions are there in just a day's time?

There were this many people who despise the first vice-premier?

They or someone they personally know were victims in Region 2.

Many are irate about a banishment of a minor official of Region 6.

And, what is this about a disappearance of a Yeejo official recently?

The court report state that he was released.

But his family members yowled at the courthouse saying he didn't come home.

Is this your doing?

If I had done this, he would have long been discovered as a corpse.

I heard that the first vice-premier entered the palace a little while ago.

Why isn't he here yet?

Passing through the academy scholars' blockade would be only after his voice becomes quite hoarse.

Then, I will need to empower the academy's scholars.

If a violation was committed by the government official, he shall be punished.

The courts are to maintain complete impartiality and investigate every detail thoroughly.

Do you think this will do?

Your majesty.

Now isn't the time to lend empowerment.

It's time to ignite ablaze a fire.

Right now...

For now, command the courts to release the vice-premier's son.

Release him?

Even the courts can't touch a renowned government official's son.

I, Kang Chi Soon, find the academy scholars' appeals laughable.

Make this situation completely worse.

Yes.

You must back him up against the wall...

until the petitioners directly challenge the first vice-premier themselves.

Brother-in-law.

You've suffered long.

Let's go home.

You weren't able to ignore their drunken wisecracks?

If that situation were to happen again, I'd do the same.

Rather,

I would snuff out his life.

Are you still saying immature things?

Do you know how detrimental the current situation is?

Their insults about my late mother were intolerable.

Do you think you'd be able to keep calm?

I suppose not.

You go on home ahead of me.

I have to go somewhere on Father-in-law's orders.

Where?

Region 2's guard is missing.

Father-in-law's orders are to find him before the courts do.

Where is Father?

I wish you had seen him yourself.

To obtain your release,

Father-in-law single-handedly subdued the hordes of academy students blocking the south main entrance.

Such bold stateliness.

I will certainly repay the contempt that Father had to face.

Brother-in-law, you must keep composed still.

Just go directly home.

Brother-in-law, please let me go with you.

Come in.

I have something to show you.

The fiery blazing sun rises from the east.

The bright moon circles again to shine upon the family.

You must've recounted this saying to yourself after having dreamt a bad dream.

What books are these?

It was difficult to get my hands on it.

I thought it might serve you well as a weapon.

These poems and the editorials were compiled into a quarterly as good housekeeping tenets.

It was rumored that this book makes husbands into highly successful figures.

All the aristocratic ladies went berserk trying to get their own copies.

I heard from his excellency that their book was destroyed in a fire.

Thank you, unnie.

I will put it to good use.

It was difficult to acquire, but I got this for you.

[Women's Quarterly]

Take your time with it.

This copy is yours.

But you'll loan it to me occasionally, right?

About your brother having suffered in jail,

I'd like to make him something to nourish his body, but I wonder what would be good.

In the quarterly,

your late mother commented that she'd make fish and vegetable stew at times like these.

What do you think?

Brother doesn't like that.

He just likes rice in water with some kelp as a side dish.

We can't do that.

He needs his energy nourished right now.

Eating things they like make people feel better.

Well...

I feel that we shouldn't always give people the kind of food they like.

We have to give them food that is good for them.

For instance, if we only give them honey cakes because they like them,

wouldn't it be bad for them?

Is that how it is?

Here is a page that is partly ripped off.

What is "Shi Keum Yuh Boon"?

Is it cosmetic face powder?

Why are you laughing?

It's a saying my late mother often said.

"Shi Keum" - Regard pure gold

"Yuh Boon" - as you would regard dung.

Oh my.

I'm sorry.

Not at all.

Oh my goodness.

Now...we're paying our final respects to him.

Yesteryears, yesteryears...long gone...

Peace, peace in all...

Someone is coming.

It must not be good news since they're carrying swords.

They're the guards that the dojo master sent.

Since Kato died without fulfilling his match obligations,

if the remaining obligations aren't met, then he means for all the family members to become his slaves.

Mr. Bahk, please lend me some money!

I will surely repay you, so just for this little while...

Oh goodness!

As the saying goes, you save a drowning man and he, in turn, accuses you of stealing his bags.

I've sold things for you all day to cover the burial expenses, and now you want some money?

No, definitely not.

I will leave this keepsake sword with you.

I will surely return the borrowed money!

Now, really! This girl is making me look like a bad man.

I'm sorry, but I don't have the money!

Mr. Bahk!

Meeyo

Don't worry.

I will fight the remaining fights your father didn't fill.

He looks ordinary.

Is he really a prisoner on death row?

If you win, you'll see freedom.

I'll let you go wherever you want.

Five signs of defeat: Courtesans. Alcohol. Food. Music. Dance.

Lift the arm.

Fingertips.

Keep to the rhythm.

Facial expression.

You're here.

Did you find the missing guard from Region 2?

The efforts of the courts have been futile.

We ourselves have dispatched many searchers, but to no avail.

At times like this, news gets to us faster.

We're filtering out false rumors and collecting credible sources.

Please let's wait a little longer.

Brother-in-law, we need to find him before the guards.

Will you slay him if you find him?

Just slaying him won't do.

It wouldn't be enough even if I chew him to pieces.

It'd be tricky if more commotion arose from this.

We'll need to try to bribe him first.

Is Jung Yeon doing well?

You need not be concerned.

My close friend, who had been brought into an investigator's house as a concubine, ended up blind.

How?

Their daughter had a house servant pour hot spring water in her eyes while she was sleeping.

Among the courtesans that were selected as concubines into a government official's house,

how many do you think suffered an ill fate?

About twelve of thirteen?

Madam, the innkeeper sent a message.

My son's behavior has been regrettable.

The purpose of this meeting is to prevent this situation from getting out of control.

Lend some good suggestions.

Our options are narrowing.

At this rate, things will become precarious for you too.

I'm sure you'll handle this matter well.

We should handle this while it's in our power to do so.

I will exile him for a few months to a faraway place.

Would it do if he's sent to Jeju Island for about a year?

You've made a very difficult decision.

I thought it was strange from the start...

that a Region 2 guard would cause a drunken ruckus.

What's strange about a man drinking at the courtesan house?

You haven't dealt with him, have you?

How can I possibly deal with each and every customer?

He came to our bar a few times with his friends.

He's no benefit to the business at all.

Does he drink on credit and then run off?

No, not that. He can't handle alcohol at all.

Can't drink. Can't.

That's strange.

He looked quite drunk.

Tell me the details.

He can't handle alcohol, but he was super girl-crazy.

He would go from bar to bar looking for girls, like a dog that need to take a dump.

It looks like you pimped out some girls for that guard.

How did you know?

Why else would a region's guard frequent a bar like this?

You're right.

He said he preferred the friskiness of the marketplace girls to the courtesans in the flower ponds.

And, he's also generous with his payments.

Contain yourself.

Tell us what happened that night.

He stopped by my bar briefly.

The expression on his face was quite odd for one who was just beaten up.

He kept smirking as if he was excited about something.

Anyway, I brought him his hors d'oeuvres.

He said as he continually smirked, "I will finally get a handsome payment from a high-class lady."

A "high-class lady"?

And, he also said one more thing.

"When enemies in a past life meet again in this life, it's called family."

[Tsushima Fighting Arena]

They've decided on your opponent.

There will be three?

Actually, they'll give you a good fight.

They've brought a death row innate who's been condemned for killing over 20 people.

[2nd Tier Magistrate, Minister of War - Bahk Yoon]

Brother-in-law.

Think carefully.

Who asked you to meet him at the courtesans' house that day?

I received a letter.

He was a fellow disciple in one of my studies.

Father knew him too.

He said he had a favor to ask me.

Ji Hyang said she had no clients except you that day.

How can that be?

It looks like you had been framed.

Pardon?

Someone manipulated him to entrap you.

But Brother-in-law, that phrase he said,

"When enemies in a past life meet in this life, it's called family."

That phrase keeps bothering me.

What do you think he means?

Not sure.

But rather than that phrase...

a "high-class lady" bothers me more.

What is it?

We've found the corpse of Region 2's guard.

What?

Who found him? The courts or our men?

The 2nd tier minister of war dispatched soldiers.

Why would the minister of war do that?

The minister of war received a secret message.

You go home and consult Father-in-law.

Alright.

Get out of the way.

I am the commander of the king's guard.

We were ordered to prohibit passage for everyone.

Do as you please.

Let him pass.

Thugs used this method in eliminating people.

I guess the deceased had much to say.

His attire is raggedy and filthy.

Looking at the blood strains on his arms and clothes, the deceased struggled violently before dying.

The perpetrator seems to be inexperienced with daggers or a person with not much strength.

Then, perhaps a youth or an elderly person?

Or... it could be a woman.

[In connection with the murder of Region 2 guard, Kang Suk Joo is to be arrested.]

Your father is meeting with the left police chief.

I'm aware of it.

Since that guard punk's corpse had been found,

I'm sure they came for me.

It's been hard on you.

I enjoyed the fish and vegetable stew.

It's a dish that requires much preparation.

I thought it may have tasted weird since it was my first try at it.

I'm glad it was suited to your taste.

There's much to clean up, isn't there?

Father has a habit of organizing his thoughts by writing. So whenever he has much on his mind,

you'll get lots of scribbled papers.

Oh my!

What do I do?

I've ruined this precious paper.

Just leave it.

I'll get a towel.

[Wang Mahng kills his son to keep the nation's law and to protect his lineage.]

What about Suk Joo?

Your excellency, things will get complicated if you do this.

This unworthy fool.

Brother?

So Young, what should I do?

I saw it. I saw Father's heart.

Brother, what's the matter?

Father is trying to be like Wang Mahng.

Wang Mahng?

They say, "The enemies in a past life meet in this life as family members."

Who is Wang Mahng?

My poor little sister,

you have to stay alive.

Brother!

Let's go.

Search the place thoroughly.

Who is Wang Mahng?

Pardon?

Tell me. Who is Wang Mahng?

Wang Mahng would be the Chinese politician from the Han dynasty.

What kind of person was he?

Please tell me.

Now?

He gained popularity through the constitutional government.

Although short-lived, he established a new dynasty.

But he had many problems.

Why?

Even if maintaining a constitutional government was important.

he claimed to enforce an exacting law,

by killing off his family members whenever he felt politically threatened.

He ended up killing three sons, one grandson and even a nephew with his own hands.

He was liked by his people as a wise man, but...

Oh, young miss!

Is anyone there?

Young miss.

Isn't anyone there?!

I am, your brother is, the captain of the Black Cloud Swords.

If I live, all the men live too. If they die, I die with them.

Hyung!

I have one...

someone I miss so much.

I'll help you with everything.

Tell me if you encounter any difficulty.

No matter how hard it gets for me, I won't receive any help from you.

I want to make a deal with the dojo master.

If I was the dojo master, I wouldn't have any reason to deal with you.

Then we can create a reason.

I think the person who entrapped you and murdered the Region 2 guard is behind this.

It seems a little fox has entered the palace.

Like a mute man, he doesn't talk. Yet he wields a sword like lightning.

He doesn't know of his past, hometown or past memories, only the sword.

I've pledged my life to Meeyo.

I've also promised Kato that I'd protect Meeyo.

Let's go to Korea together.
