I need you. Truly, Kim Jun.

Which is why I'm asking you to stop this wedding.

Miss.

I don't know what I'd do without you.

I can't imagine it.

Jun...

I'm asking you...

to be with me.

Miss, my duty is to my lord, you know that.

I couldn't go with you.

I know. But would you, if I asked you?

Miss, even if you did, how could I betray my lord's trust?

Please don't ask me to do that.

So it's no then.

I asked you to be with me in my time of need.

But the answer is no.

I see.

You had your say...

and you know mine.

I'm sorry, Miss.

But Jun, soon you'll understand. I'm sure of it.

I suspect you'll have troubles of your own soon enough.

Miss?

How do you mean?

Only that I think something bad is coming.

Go find Wola.

Miss.

What are you saying? Please explain.

I'm not sure myself.

I overheard the servants talking. I don't know the details.

- Chunsim. - Yes?

Is it much farther?

We're almost there. Just a little more.

I've never been to a fortune teller before. I was curious.

It's natural when you're getting married.

How will we live? Will we be rich? When will we have sons?

It would be strange if you weren't curious.

I guess.

Wola.

Yes, Chunsim.

You know how they say every good thing has its price?

Pardon?

All this happiness you have with Kim Jun.

People are bound to be jealous.

You're right, especially with Her Grace taking such good care of us.

You know Kim Jun was Lady Songi's property.

She saved his life.

I know, of course.

You should be grateful.

From where I'm standing, you're not.

Um... what?

Nothing. It is what it is.

Wola, let me ask one more time.

You're sure you didn't know Yangbaek fancies you?

Yes, Chunsim.

Yes, that can happen.

Here we are.

Aren't you coming?

This is the fortune teller's? It looks empty.

This is it. Come on.

Where is everyone? How odd.

Wait here, all right?

Wait, Chunsim...

Chunsim? Where are you?

Chunsim? Chunsim?

Chun... Chunsim... Chun...

Who are you?

We're taking you someplace nice.

Well? Gag her.

You got it.

Hold still!

Let's go.

Easy, easy.

Remember, we don't know nothin'.

Something might go wrong.

Be ready.

How do you mean?

She's Her Grace's favorite.

It could go very wrong. Didn't you think of that?

I'm fully prepared to die.

Where are you off to in such a hurry?

Have you seen Wola?

Your bride-to-be? She went to the market with Chunsim.

The market? With Chunsim?

Yes, sir.

Sir, Sir! Is something wrong?

- Stand guard. - Sir.

Nothing yet from Chunsim?

No, Miss.

Where did she get to?

I wonder that myself. It's not like her.

She didn't say anything to you?

Nothing. But she hasn't been herself lately.

How so?

She's been talking with Kyonga a lot.

- Kyonga? - Yes.

Ah, she's working with Kyonga, I noticed that as well.

But what?

Sir. Sir!

She just had something to do, she'll be back. What's the rush?

She's not at the Guard Corps. She was with Chunsim?

Yes, sir, she was.

That's odd. Wola doesn't know anyone in the market.

And she's not close to Chunsim.

What Lady Songi said bothers me the most. Something isn't right.

Sir?

Keep searching. You go there. I'll go this way.

Yes, sir.

- Move! - Sir.

Who have we here? Field Marshal Kim Jun himself.

Come for a drink?

Has Wola from the Guard Corps passed this way?

Who's Wola?

Who was that?

Kim Jun.

Close up shop, quick.

Wait, the girl in the sack this Wola of his?

Keep it down.

Go on, close up.

Hurry.

Wola!

Wola!

Darling...

Wola!

Darling! Musang!

Wola!

Listen, Wola, this isn't what you think.

I swear, I won't abandon you. I'll marry you.

Have mercy. Please let me go.

I can't. You know how hard it was to get you?

You'll live the sweet life.

I'm already engaged.

I know. To Kim Jun?

That's why I kidnapped you. I couldn't stand losing you.

Wola!

Wola!

Wola!

Wola!

Darling...

He's gone. Now you're mine.

I'll take care of you.

Trust me. Just trust me.

Please, lord. Let me go.

You'll live the sweet life.

I'm illegitimate, too. My mom was a courtesan.

I'll get a good posting or some such.

Just trust me. Just do it.

Come on!

Help! Someone help me! Help!

Why won't you listen to me?

Stupid girl, why won't you listen?

Help me, Musang!

Musang... Musang...

Wola!

Sir!

- Anything? - No.

Let's go back to the Guard Corps.

For all we know, she's waiting for you there.

No. No, keep looking.

- Anything could have happened to her. - Yes, sir.

- You, that way. I'll go this way. - Yes, sir.

Wola!

Wola!

Wola!

Wola... Wola...

- Wola! - Sir!

Let's go.

Wola!

Wola!

- Wola! - Sir.

Wola!

Sir!

- Wola! Wola! - Sir!

Subop?

Venerable.

I thought you were in the market. What brings you here?

What you said about the Tripitaka got me thinking and here I am.

Ah-ha, so you've made up your mind?

About taking over as steward of the work?

Well, not that, not yet. But your ardor has me thinking.

I see, I see.

I realize I have to let the young go.

They're getting married, Musang and Wola, I mean.

Wait, Abbot, you mean Kim Jun?

Yes, I heard about it in the market.

The whole town is buzzing with it.

That's great news. Wonderful.

So it seems.

Now it's time to let my worries for them float away.

Leave behind all my worldly cares.

Well said, well said.

There is no worthier work than the Koryo Tripitaka.

But, Venerable, I haven't made my mind up.

- I was just passing by. - I know, I know.

But your passing by is Buddha's will.

Buddha sent for you.

You, too, Venerable?

Attention!

Sir.

Sir? Sir?

No sign of Wola?

- Nothing. - What's going on?

- Where is she? Sir! - Commander!

Excuse me. Can I ask you something?

Oh my, the Field Marshal.

What's got you so worked up?

Have... have you seen Wola? You know, Wola.

No. Why should we have? She doesn't work here.

Why? Is something wrong?

It's nothing.

Manjong.

Where have you been?

To a sweet place. With your future sister-in-law.

Huh?

Wola. Now she's mine.

Manjong, what did you do?

I did what I did.

She put up a fight, but now she's mine.

Manjong...

Manjong, what were you thinking? Wola?

She's Her Grace's favorite.

Like I don't know that?

But I couldn't let her go.

I wanted her and I took her.

There will be a fuss, but in the end she'll be mine.

Manjong.

Musang... Darling...

Musang... Musang...

...Musang...

- Wola. - Miss Wola?

Kim Jun's been looking all over for you. Where have you been?

Your face... Have you fallen?

Miss Wola... Wola...

Open up.

How strange. What's going on?

Sir... Sir, where are you going?

Let's wait outside.

What are you doing here?

Chunsim... Where's Chunsim?

You're looking for me? You're Kim Jun, aren't you?

Wola. Where is she?

Wola? Why ask me?

Where is she? She went with you to the market.

Ah, that? She wanted to consult a fortune teller.

I told her the way...

and came on back.

Why? Isn't she back?

Which fortune teller?

Tell me!

Stop yelling, you're scaring me...

You're coming with me. Where is it?

I just showed her where it is, that's all.

- Where? - What's all this?

Jun?

Yes, Miss.

What is it?

He's looking for Wola.

Why look here?

Well, she wanted to see a fortune teller, so I showed her the way...

Go inside.

Kim Jun, return to your barracks.

I'll let you know if I learn anything.

I told you to go inside.

Yes, Miss.

Where is Wola?

I don't know.

You don't know? Don't lie to me.

Where is she?

I took her to Lord Manjong.

You what?

This is what you were talking about yesterday?

Yes, Miss.

But Kim Jun and Wola, my mother...

I know. That's part of why I did it.

Can she get married after Manjong had his way with her?

Not after this.

But if my mother finds out...

I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't prepared to die.

Chunsim, you little fool.

I couldn't stand the thought of them marrying.

I couldn't stand for them alone to be happy.

Chunsim.

Oh, I know. I know how you feel.

You can't live without Kim Jun.

And Yangbaek loves her. I'll never forgive her for that.

Chunsim.

You've been acting strangely the last few days.

What are you up to?

You'll find out soon enough.

Kyonga.

We're comrades. We were slaves together, fought in the arena together.

- Yes, sir. - Of course, sir.

Infuriating... Listen, just spit it out.

What are you hiding?

Sir...

I did it for you.

It's just, I couldn't have that Kim Jun jerk overshadowing you.

Fool!

We all serve the same lord. No one overshadows anyone else.

Speak up. What exactly are you up to?

Is Chunsim involved?

Yes or no?

You've hurt Chunsim a lot.

She couldn't help herself.

Infuriating. Would you just spit it out?

The point, get to the point. What have you done?

Wola, she...

Wola? What?

Speak up. What about her?

We gave her to Lord Manjong.

What? WHAT?

You did what?

Yes, sir. It's all over by now.

You... you... s...

She was to marry Kim Jun in a few days.

What kind of man are you? Are you a man at all?

Fool! Scum! Sleaze!

Sir, we're all trash, all slaves!

You saved me from the pit.

Because of you, I'm a commander now.

So?

So... I couldn't let that upstart stand in your way.

What makes him so great anyway?

He's a nobody, a mountain monk.

Listen to yourself. You talk of being slaves?

Did it occur to you that Kim Jun is the same as us?

He's a slave, the same as us.

Can't you see he's our brother?

Why did you do it?

Fiance...

Who knew we'd end up like this?

You were like my sister, after all.

No one stays a child forever.

What?

Do you still see me as a little girl? Well, darling?

What--? Wola!

When did you get so brazen?

At your service, my lady.

Still teasing, darling?

Wola.

Yes. Just as I've always done...

I'll look after my darling little sister.

Yes, darling.

Wola, listen to me. Our clan is finished.

Your father has been convicted of treason.

You, me, we'll both end up slaves.

Remember...

A woman that loses her chastity loses everything.

If that happens, take this.

If the worst happens,

...death will wash away all shame.

You're of a good family, a noble family.

Musang...my darling. Musang...

Sir, sir, it's me.

You saw her?

A moment ago. Didn't you see her?

When? Which way?

There, the inner courtyard...

Commander, what's going on?

She looked hurt and her clothes...

What?

Wola!

Wola!

Wola...

Wola.

Wola...Where were you? Where have you been?

Are you all right? Nothing happened?

What is it? Your face...

What happened?

Musang...

That's it, that's it, Wola. Something happened, didn't it?

Don't worry. I'm here. It's all right. I'm here.

Darling...I heard your voice... in the market...

Did you? Where were you?

Who... who did this to you?

Wola, come with me.

Darling...I needed you... so much...

Wola.

Wola...Wola... I'm here.

Musang... Darling...

Yes... What is it?

Why are you crying so?

In gratitude. And happiness.

I'm so happy, darling.

Wola...

Hold me closer.

Closer... hold me...

What is it? What...? What's wrong?

Darling, you made me so happy.

From when we were children... until now...

You were the only one.

What do you mean? What are you...?

W... What's wrong? Blood...

Wola, Wola...

Now...we have to... say goodbye.

I loved you so...

Musang... my darling...

Wola, Wola...

But I'm happy...

...to die in your arms.

Wola. Wola... W...

Is anyone there? Help her! Anyone!

Wola, Wola...

Report, Kim Jun.

Save her. Sir, get a doctor. A doctor!

A doctor, quick.

- Sir. - Move!

Wola, hang on. A little longer.

Explain yourselves.

Wola? Wola!

How did this happen? What's going on here?

- Get the doctor. Move! - Sir.

Musang... darling...

Hold... hold my hand... my hand...

Wola...

Wola, don't die.

Don't die, Wola.

I was happy... Live well...live...

Wola... W...

What's going on? What is this?

It's terrible, Your Grace. Don't look.

I asked what's going on.

Wola took poison.

What? Why?

I'll try to find out.

I had a feeling... Where is she..?

Your Grace...

- Your Grace. - Your Grace.

Your Grace. You, there. Look after Her Grace, hurry.

No, no, not her...

- Wola... Wola... - Your Grace.

Return to your posts.

Gapi will stay here.

- Sir. - Move out.

Do you know what happened?

Any idea why Wola would do that?

Do you know?

Wola...

...was raped.

Where? By who?

Lord Manjong. In the market.

So that's it. It was him...

How did this happen?

Why? How?

Why did you do it? Why?

Who did this to you?

Tell me, Wola. Please say something, Wola...

Report. Why would a girl about to be married take poison?

Any ideas?

Why don't you say something?

I asked for your report.

My lord, the truth is...

It's all right. Speak.

Lord Manjong raped her. That's why she did it.

What?

Manjong? Manjong raped her?

That beast stooped to this?

I don't know what to say.

To think he's my own flesh and blood.

He couldn't have done it alone. Don't you agree?

Yes, sir. He would have needed men to take her and a place to do it.

Before first light, I want Manjong, Manjun, their men, the courtesans...

and anyone else involved, understood?

Yes, sir.

Scum.

Animals!

The Young Lord's favorite courtesan house.

We take the lords and any men working for them.

Sir. Move out.

Yangbaek, take a detachment and bring Chunsim in for questioning.

Yes, sir.

If Kyonga is involved as you say, arrest him as well.

Yes, sir.

Move out.

Arrest Kyonga.

Yes, sir.

That Kyonga, what was he thinking?

Move!

Yes, sir.

- Move out. - Sir.

How could this happen?

Wait, who is Kim Jun carrying?

Wola's dead.

What?

She's what? Why?

Wola?

I just heard.

How could this happen?

Wola... Wola...

How did this...? My poor Wola...

- How...? - Poor thing...

It's all right.

I'll go alone.

Where are you going at this hour?

Wait... sir...

Where is he taking her?

Miss, it's the Overlord's orders. We need Chunsim.

Miss, we have our orders. We need Chunsim.

Chunsim, please, Miss.

Chunsim...

Chunsim, you...

I was ready for this.

At least Yangbaek came to arrest me.

Chunsim.

Yunsim, look after Lady Songi.

Miss, all the best.

Never let Kim Jun go.

Chunsim.

Chunsim...

Yangbaek. I'm glad it's you.

I had hoped to see you one last time.

Well. My time has come. What good are regrets?

Let's go.

Wola?

Dead.

Little fool.

It was just her body, what did it matter?

Well, I knew it wouldn't end well.

Let's go.

Take this, Your Grace.

The doctor insists. You've had a shock.

Wola?

Her body had to be removed from the inner courtyard.

To where?

Kim Jun took her away.

How did this happen? How?

Manjong did this to her?

Yes, Your Grace.

The Overlord has ordered the arrest of everyone involved.

Oh, dear... Poor child...

Young Lords, obey your Overlord. We have our orders.

Obey your Overlord.

Manjong, what did I tell you? Not her, I said.

What's that matter? I told you I can't live without her.

She's dead. She's dead!

How could I have known?

You did it. What do they want me for?

You're only making it worse. Please come out.

It's just not fair!

I told you to keep me informed.

Where they studied, what they drank, the women they used, everything.

Your pardon.

And you failed in your duty. Anything and everything!

No matter how small.

- Song Kilyu. - My lord.

You have full authority.

Tear that place apart. All of it!

- Tear it apart! - Sir!

I swear! Who do you think you are, huh?

Scum!

- Scum? - Dead scum!

Is it worth it, covering up for the scum lords?

Wh-wh-what do you want? You'll be sorry.

Is that so? Do we look sorry to you?

Move it!

No! Have mercy!

Your Lordships, what have we done?

What is all this?

Tramps! Do you have to ask?

After all the women Manjong has raped?

We're working girls, what could we do?

We had to obey.

Arrest them! Drag them through the mud!

- Oh, I knew this would happen. - Move it along.

Wola.

This is all my fault. I should have protected you.

I'm sorry, Wola.

It's all my fault.

We're almost there.

Abbot Subop will be glad to see you.

Spare us!

- Mercy. - Mercy!

Enough!

I'll ask you again.

You, Chunsim, and you, Kyonga, this was all your doing?

Is that right?

Th-that's what I said. I didn't know nothin'.

- He came to me and said he had a girl. - Attention!

- General Song. - Overlord.

Who said those animals could stand?

They're rapists. On their knees.

Um, Father, sir, I didn't do anything.

It was all Manjong's doing.

I said on their knees.

Please kneel, Young Lords.

Wait, it wasn't me...

On your knees!

Yes, sir, Father, sir.

But I didn't do anything.

You didn't do anything?

Your sins combined pile higher than the highest mountain.

You deserve to die.

Wola, we made it.

Abbot Subop is inside.

He'll be so happy.

Abbot...

Abbot...

I brought Wola...

Abbot! Abbot!

Wola is here!

I brought her!

Abbot! Abbot!

I brought Wola!
