Episode 8

I will give you a last chance.

Be one of my people.

If you swear loyalty to me

I can give you wealth and power.

Even a dog won't receive those gifts, just stuff yourself!

I don't want to take anything but your life.

Well, that's a waste.

What are you doing?

Hurry and execute him!

Did you not hear him? Execute him!

Yes!

Stop right there!

Who are you?

Jeollado Admiral

Lee Soon Shin.

But.. what is the reason that you're here?

I heard that one of my people is being held here.

What?

Your subordinate?

Who exactly is that?

Have you been doing well, Kang Chi?

I came to take you back.

Even though I took him in and raised him, he is like a son to me.

He is virtuous and responsible.

Most of all, he has a good heart.

Please take Kang Chi under your wing, My Lord.

But as Gon stated,

if that child is in a dangerous state, what do we do?

And because of that, he harms innocent people?

Then...

I will cut his throat myself.

What is going on?

Eh?

Look! Look!

Ah! Move! Move!

Hey, hey. You can't cut in.

Listen here, Admiral.

Are you saying that you are taking a captured criminal?

Who is it

who is asking the question?

Ahh..

He used to be a Deputy Minister in Hanyang.

This is Lord Jo Kwan Woong, who has recently come down here.

Is that so?

But why is a retired Deputy Minister

interrogating a criminal in this police station?

T-that..

I am here not as an interrogator but as a witness.

This bastard, Choi Kang Chi,

brutally murdered the owner of the 100 Year Inn and then ran away.

I have personally witnessed it.

Don't say that bullsh*t!

It was you who killed My Lord!

Aish!

How audacious about his own wrong doing!

It's not enough to commit such a heinous crime against the person who raised you,

now you're framing me for murder?

Just now,

did you say 'murder'?

It is clearly the crime of murder without any doubt.

I clearly saw with my own two eyes.

Then I will ask again...

Are you saying that the 100 Year Inn owner Park Moo Sol

is an innocent person?

Not at all! Park Moo Sol was

caught with evidence of providing financial support to the rebels.

So his entire family was destroyed.

Then...

how is it that you captured Choi Kang Chi as a murderer?

Yes?

Since he killed a person who committed treason, he did not commit murder but rendered distinguished service instead.

He obviously deserves to receive a meritorious award.

What do you mean by execution?

How can you issue a sentence with such an irrational punishment?

T-t-t-that...

Even if he committed treason,

Lord Park Moo Sol was a man of such high public esteem here in Yeosoo.

S...s..so, we were afraid of the public sentiment.

In punishing someone who has committed treason, why are you worrying about the public sentiment?

Could it be that, by making Choi Kang Chi a sacrificial lamb,

there is some other reason?

Aigoo. Can that even happen?

If not,

could it be that you have framed an innocent person

for committing treason?

Your words are too much, Admiral!

A person's life depends on this matter!

What is right and wrong in this matter,

we must determine accurately.

I will ask you once more, Police Chief Jeong.

Is it right that Park Moo Sol committed treason?

Then..

In that case, Choi Kang Chi should be recognized for his meritorious act, not for murder.

If it's true that Choi Kang Chi is the murderer,

then Park Moo Sol has to be an innocent person! That's the only logical explanation.

Which one will it be?

Aish!

Which one is it?

It's a checkmate.

There's nothing left to see.

Is it okay now?

What do we do? There is nothing wrong with the Admiral's words,

so there is no other way except letting go of Choi Kang Chi for now...

There were 7 men, for God's sake!

Yes?

He made my seven men disappear without a trace.

Are you saying that

I should give up and send that kind of person over to the Admiral?

How will you prepare for future consequences?

What are you going to do if Choi Kang Chi decides to slit your throat tonight?

My throat?

Then..

What about receiving a letter of commitment from

the Admiral?

What?

After we release Kang Chi,

in case of some future troubles,

then everything will be Admiral's responsibility.

What if we can get a letter of commitment such as that?

Come out.

You are acquitted of the charges.

In the end, you have made me a murderer then.

I am doing this to save you.

Isn't your joke going overboard?

We are talking about none other than Lord Park Moo Sol.

He was my life saver,

was like a father and teacher to me.

But

you're asking me to live my life as the murderer of such person?

And that's saving me?

After I kill everyone in here,

then I will just kill myself as well.

Do you see death so lightly?

It will be easier than to drag along with this unworthy life.

Death

will be done in one shot.

How can you treat your life so carelessly?

That life

doesn't have any meaning to me anymore.

Now, I..

am someone who can't be human anymore.

So that was it..

Then, I understand.

Take it.

I will give you just one day, today.

Think of today as your last.

Use 1 coin each to 3 people you'd like to say goodbye to.

What?

After that, before 3 am,

come back to the Naval facility to see me.

If you do that

I will not stop you from whatever you do next.

Why do I have to listen to what you say?

I am someone who received a request from Park Moo Sol to take care of you.

Also, as the person who saved you from execution,

it's an order.

Just for today.

Just for today, keep this promise between men.

What is exactly happening here?

Acquitting a murderer and setting him free!!

Then what becomes of me who reported him?

Eh?

Catch him!

Is it really going to be okay?

That's why we received it.

Admiral's Letter of Commitment.

What do you mean by the Letter of Commitment?

Just in case, after releasing Choi Kang Chi,

what if I or Police Chief Jeong are endangered?

For such situation,

I need a letter of commitment from you that you would take the responsibility.

That way, we would feel a bit more relieved.

Isn't that right?

Of course,

we will safeguard the letter of commitment in our office.

This is just to be prepared for a potential situation,

just in case, Admiral.

Even if it is just in case,

if Choi Kang Chi, that rascal, causes any problem,

he will be executed at that very moment,

and you would take the complete responsibility,

and you need to promise to resign.

If I do that,

will you release Choi Kang Chi?

Will you make the promise?

Please release Choi Kang Chi now.

Why did you make such a reckless decision?

Was I a bit reckless?

He is very unstable in many ways.

What if at this very instant, he runs over to Jo Kwan Woong,

and messes everything up.

Everything about people depends on heaven anyway.

People just have to

do their best in what they believe in at that moment.

My wish is that my best will

change the will of heaven.

I am just humbly waiting for that.

We have a lot of time left until 3 am. How about staying here with me today

and shooting some arrows?

What on earth could that be?

For the Admiral to covet something, even risking his own life...

It means there must be something special about him.

I can't stop wondering about that.

Do you think he will come to the inn?

He'll definitely come.

No matter what ruckus he causes, just leave him alone for now.

Until I give you an order, don't ever touch him.

But still, he's a very dangerous bastard, My Lord.

This an opportunity to catch both Choi Kang Chi and the Admiral. Isn't that right?

If he is worth that much, we should take that much risk.

If we don't break the Admiral's neck this time,

he will be a big stumbling block to me.

As for Choi Kang Chi, if I can't make him one of my men, then it's better to kill him.

What happened to the thing I told you to prepare, just in case?

Don't worry. I've hypnotized him properly.

Listen carefully to what I have to say now.

The person who killed your father is Choi Kang Chi.

That's why, as soon as you see that bastard Choi Kang Chi,

you must kill him. Do you understand?

Brother! Brother!

Brother! Brother! Brother!

Cheong Jo..

No! Tae Seo!

Tae Seo!

My Lady!

Mother..

Mother!

All of this is Choi Kang Chi's fault!

All of this is Choi Kang Chi's fault!

Kill that bastard.

Choi Kang Chi..

CHOI KANG CHI!

CHOI KANG CHI!!

What are you doing? Are you now stalking me?

No..

Not stalking..

It's surveillance.

Surveillance? Why?

Are you asking because you don't know?

In case you might run to Jo Kwan Woong and act recklessly.

If I act recklessly, do you think you can stop me?

Why? You think I can't stop you?

Try stopping me, then.

Look here.

You are breaking the promise you made with the Admiral.

A promise man to man, you must keep it today at least.

Aren't promises only done between people?

That's right. Promises are made by people.

Then what should I do?

I'm not human anymore.

What?

Oh, right..

Since my mother is human, I guess I'm still half-human.

Why are you like this?

What will you do if someone hears?

Then you should be careful, too.

When the half-monster inside of me comes out and devours you,

I have no way of knowing that.

You are the worst scum of the whole world!

He bit the hands that fed him!

The guy who killed our heaven sent Lord Park.

How dare you still hang around.

Why don't you just leave this village?

Please stop this!

It's all a misunderstanding.

Are you on his side?

Then you're a bad person, too!

I'm telling you to stop this!

Get out of here! Go On!

You don't need to feel hurt.

They all misunderstood, that's why.

When we clear up the misunderstanding,

the truth regarding Lord Park will one day be revealed.

What if we cannot clear it up?

Then, I will forever

have to live like this.

As the person responsible for killing Lord Park for the rest of my life!

Do you know that?

Just go.

She's at the gisaeng house.

Miss Cheong Jo.

The person you want to see the most,

right?

Today to you underlings,

we will teach you liquor etiquette.

Now...

In the bowl in front of you,

pour the liquor to the rim.

What are you doing there?

In order to be a gisaeng, pouring liquor is the basic of basics.

Hurry and pour out that alcohol!

That liquor, drink it now.

Gisaeng etiquette will be taught to you by the Madam.

The method of drinking liquor is not taught by anyone.

So, I personally set time aside.

Listen well.

The alcohol must be consumed in one shot without a single drop being missed.

You can not make a facial expression after drinking the alcohol.

Nor can you behave crassly and put a drop of side dishes in your mouth right away.

Okay, drink!

Right?

That's it. That's right.

They're doing well.

Be quiet, all of you!

Still,

one person's glass remains untouched.

Drink it.

I won't drink.

What?

I do not find this kind of joke funny at all.

A joke you say! How dare you say that regarding a lesson.

Is it because you think the liquor is too strong?

Girls...

Yes?

It seems that wench is afraid to take her first drink.

I guess you have to help her.

I understand.

Now the taste of the alcohol should be milder.

Drink it.

Look here.. What are you doing?

Didn't I say I was teaching you drink etiquette.

If you are wearing a gisaeng's skirt,

then you have to learn how to be a gisaeng.

Regardless of how high and mighty you may act, you are

at best a gisaeng who sells her body and alcohol.

Why?

You don't like drinking?

Then, should I teach you how to remove your undergarment in front of a man first?

Let's take a look to see what a nobleman's daughter's skin looks like.

Should we try that?

How could you do this?! Do you want to die? You b****!

Choonhwagwan (the gisaeng house)

Who started it?

You can't tell who started it?

This wretch was the one who started it, she threw the alcohol on Wol Sun's face!

Alcohol?

We were in the process of having a drink during our break time.

I only wanted to relieve their dry lips since they were working so hard.

That's exactly the way it happened.

Is that true?

Yes, it's correct. Everyone here is a witness. Right?

Yeah. That's right.

Head maid, bring me a tree branch.

Reveal your calves.

Do it quickly.

Stand properly.

Who are you?

I asked who are you?!

That bastard! Hey! Hey!

Who are you?

Let's go.

Stay right there!

What are you doing? Who are you to barge in here in the middle of the day to act like that?

Let go of her hand this instant!

She's not someone who's supposed to be here. So I'm taking her.

Kang Chi..

Stop!

Don't even take one step away from there.

If you take that child and run away from here,

I cannot assure you that both of you will be safe.

If you are caught the both of you will be beaten to death.

Don't worry, Cheong Jo.

Taking and running away with you will be effortless for me.

Even if you escape here safely,

The two of you will live the life of run away convicts.

You must live hiding, away from people's eyes forever.

Pathetic and miserably.

Barely surviving, eating wild herbs.

It's not too late. Let go of her hand, and leave quietly.

Immediately let go of her hand!

I won't let her go.

There's no way I'm letting go.

I dare anyone to lay even one finger on me.

Know that you'll all die then.

Don't worry, Cheong Jo..

From now on,

you won't be staying here alone.

Believe me.

♫Love hurts..♫

♫..like a cold.♫

♫The tears are bitter♫

♫Because I am lovesick♫

Cheong Jo!

Go away.

What?

I said go away!

I came here to save you.

I came to take you away.

Clear my father's name first before taking me away.

After you clear my father's name

come and get me rightfully.

Before that, I..

I will not move even one step.

Cheong Jo..

Go..

Just go, please!

♫ Love hurts,

♫ just like a cold

Do you really want to take her away from here?

Then from where should you start,

it would be good to think about that first.

♫ The love filling my heart,♫

♫Can you see it?♫

♫Can you hear it?♫

♫It hurts because you're not here.♫

♫It hurts after losing love.♫

♫ Even though my tears flow, flow, flow

♫ Just like the rain

♫Although my heart thirsts, thirsts,♫

♫and thirsts,♫

♫My reason for living♫

♫is nothing but you.♫

♫As much as I love you..♫

♫ love hurts

♫ Though it hurts, I love you

You must not hesitate, even for a second.

If he acts suspiciously,

don't hesitate to kill him.

Father...

The moment you hesitate,

you must remember that the Admiral will be in danger.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

If Miss Yeo Wool doesn't want to do it, then I will.

Please entrust it to me.

No,

I will do it.

I will be the one to do it.

You must do it without mistakes.

Not only it is for the Admiral's sake,

but the fate of the entire Navy in Jeolla Province is depending on it.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Father.

I think Miss Yeo Wool lost Choi Kang Chi.

Is he coming this way?

Yes, Pledged Brother.

Isn't it that bastard?

That Kang Chi..

Look over there!

Wait, you don't mea-

Damn it.

Oh, isn't that Kang Chi?

Kang Chi!

Kang Chi!

Do you know what you have just done, Miss?

I know. I know it better than anyone else.

Just stay here!

If I don't go and stop him now, Admiral Lee will get hurt.

Nothing's going to happen.

He promised the Admiral that he won't cause trouble today.

That punk..

just barges into the 100 Year Inn like that?

Please trust me, just this once!

Can't you just believe his promise?

Can you?

Gon?

Mister!

Mister!!

What is it that made you so breathless? Did you see a dead ghost or something?

He's here! He finally came back!

Kang Chi went to see Jo Kwan Woong holding a broken broom, damn it!

He just broke into the main room!

Why are you here?

You asked me if I want to be one of your people, right?

I came here to give you my answer.

This 100 Year Inn,

I will take it back with my own hands.

At that time..

I will take your life with it.

This is my answer.

Choi Kang Chi.. You bastard!

Kang Chi..

I will definitely come back after I get Tae Seo and Cheong Jo.

Until then, please,

take good care of the 100 Year Inn.

Of course, I will.

I will do that.

Kang Chi Hyungnim!

Kang Chi! Kang Chi!

Right on target!

Right on target!

Do you think that he's going to come?

If what I think is right,

he will probably keep his promise.

Even if he comes,

what are you thinking of doing then?

Well, it depends on that child's answer.

What do you mean 'answer'?

My Lord!

Someone came from the Police Station.

He came with the message that Choi Kang Chi

broke into the 100 Year Inn.

Can you see it clearly?

The type of atrocity committed by that bastard, Choi Kang Chi!

Are you sure it was done by Choi Kang Chi?

If it wasn't him,

then who would do something like this to me?

Who else saw him besides you?

What?

Are you, Admiral, suspecting me right now?

I am just

asking for a bit more certainty.

My direct subordinates and the Inn's servants,

all of them are eyewitnesses who saw Choi Kang Chi.

Is that enough?

Then..

May I meet the Inn's servants?

Did any of you see Choi Kang Chi,

get into the main room and raise a disturbance?

If there are, at least three of you, come out.

Did you not hear it?

Didn't everybody witness Choi Kang Chi coming into the main study and act violently?

Tell the Admiral what you have witnessed immediately!

I'm really sorry but..

we don't know what you're trying to say..

What?

From the moment you came here, My Lord,

I didn't see Kang Chi come here.

I also didn't see him. Never!

Me too. I didn't see anything.

If you wish to make me lose my title of Admiral,

I think you will need proof that is more precise and has more credibility.

You need to make more effort.

Then,

You're steward Choi, right?

Yes, My Lord..

Su Gu Gwan,

take this man and beat him, but not enough to die.

Lock him up and do not give him food to eat or water to drink for 5 days.

Administer the same punishment to this b**ch and the other bast**d as well.

Guards!

Yes!

I really didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!

Calm down, My Lord. Don't we have a hidden card left?

The hypnosis you put that guy into must be effective!

It will not go wrong. He will definitely kill Choi Kang Chi, that bastard.

Choi Kang Chi..

Kill that bastard.

You've come.

Right..

What about the task I gave you?

Did you give the three coins, one to each of the persons you wanted to say your last farewell to?

What does that mean?

I think.. I still have to live a bit longer.

That's why I pushed off my last greetings a bit.

What's the reason you changed your mind?

Can I ask about that?

My first reason is to clear Lord Park Moo Sol's name.

The second reason is..

I have to take back the 100 Year Inn and give it back to Tae Seo and Cheong Jo.

And the last, the third reason..

Alright. What's the third one?

If I can do it,

I want to be human.

You want to be human?

Yes.

I want to become human.

Right now, I..

am not this or that.

Aren't I half-human, half-beast?

I can't determine when I will change again into a divine creature and lose myself.

Because of the way I am, I can't say that I'm a real human.

Until now,

I've seen countless people who were born as human but acted even worse than beasts.

What gives you the right to call yourself a "human" isn't in your origins,

but is in the pure heart you're keeping inside you.

But it's hard for me to be in this condition.

With my situation like this, to the 100 Year Inn,

I can't go back to my family there.

Then..

Is there even a way to become a human?

Yes. I heard that there is.

What is it?

The Gu Family Book.

Gu Family Book?

Gu Family Book?

That's right. Gu Family Book.

Because your father wanted to be human, to find the Gu Family Book,

he devoted himself to prayer for a 100 days.

But in the end, fate wasn't on his side.

That Gu Family Book.. How will I find it?

Please tell me how.

It isn't fair, but I can't tell you now.

Why is that? Why?

Even your father, who lived 1000 years clearing his heart and mind, didn't succeed!

Do you think someone like you will succeed?

That's impossible, you rascal!

What? What about me?

Look at yourself! Getting angry for nothing,

losing your temper whenever something happens, and making a big mess of everything!

How could a rascal like that offer devout prayer for a 100 days with patience?

You can't do it.

I don't want to vainly lose you too.

Just forget about the Gu Family Book.

What should I do?

What should I do for you to help me find it?

Build enough patience and strength so that you'll be able to stay in your human form, even without the bracelet.

However, it took several centuries for your father to succeed,

so I guess it would be difficult for you to succeed while I'm still alive.

I will do it. I will definitely do it.

Don't have women close to your side.

You cannot give your heart or be filled with useless sympathy, either.

But seeing that your fated woman is already near you,

then it will be hard, right?

Will you really be like this? Do you really want to see me die?

You'll definitely not die, you punk!

If you would only stop uselessly dreaming about becoming a human,

you will literally keep your youth and live forever, you rascal! Got it?

I don't need everlasting life or anything like that.

Just help me become human.

Please, help me find the Gu Family Book. Yes?

I was thinking about entrusting this child to the Moohyung martial arts academy.

Are you talking about our martial arts academy?

Please take care of me, sir! If you only let me learn patience, self control,

and inner power that will help me not to lose myself even without the bracelet,

I will greatly return that grace throughout my life!

Please take me in.

As this child decided to stay by our side anyway,

isn't that a good thing?

Please take him as a student.

It went well.

We could have lost the Admiral.

Gon, you're underestimating the Admiral too much.

You still don't know?

That time when I shot the arrow...

The one I believed at that moment was not Choi Kang Chi, but the Admiral.

If he didn't have confidence in that promise,

he wouldn't have left Choi Kang Chi alone to begin with.

I had the belief that he wouldn't have carelessly risked theNavy Admiral's position.

I wish that you, too, could trust others a little bit more through this opportunity.

I have something I'm curious about.

What is it?

What if I would have spent all the three coins you gave me and came back?

What were you going to do?

If I would have killed Jo Kwang Woong just like that,

then came back to give my life up.

Do you want an honest answer?

Yes.

Without hesitation,

I would have slit your throat.

A person who does not value his own life

does not know how to value anything else.

To that kind of person,

isn't it obvious that there can't be any hope kept in his heart?

Your joke sounded real.

Hey, Choi Kang Chi!

We've got to hurry and go. Come out now.

I will come find you again.

My Lord.

Come anytime.

I will welcome you.

What is this?

Someone came at dawn and sent it.

That person who came for you yesterday.

He left behind some good medicine for you

to apply where you were hit yesterday.

By the way,

am I supposed to live with seeing your face everyday?

Why? Are you so happy you could die?

It's totally not that.

Don't worry,

I'll leave the Moohyung academy as soon as I reach my goal.

Goal? What goal?

It's something that kids shouldn't know, Mr. Dam.

What? Kids?

What kids!!

Kang Chi...

I pray that the path you are walking now,

will be full of happiness, not misfortunes.

Miss Yeo Wool too..

♫Even without saying a thing,♫

♫My heart was overwhelmed and tears just came ♫

♫Together with you♫

♫Just like now.♫

What are you doing now?

This b*tch...

My name is Cheong Jo.

I'm not this b*tch or that b*tch or underling, but Park Cheong Jo.

From now on, call me by name.

Won Sun unnie.

♫Breathing inside you♫

♫Stepping on nostalgia♫

♫Not just a memory, nor recollections, our love ♫

♫is right now.♫

What are you doing?

Welcome back, Master!

Is everyone doing well?

Yes, Master!

There is someone who will stay in our academy starting from today

who came.

Introduce yourself.

Huh? Introduciton?

Don't you know what 'introduce' means?

Oh..

Hi everyone..

Hahaha... it's because I feel embarrassed about greeting like this.

Do it properly. Properly.

I know! Aren't I doing it right now..

I am the son of steward Choi, from the 100 Year Inn,

Choi Kang Chi.

I'll be in your care.

Didn't he say he's in our care?

The newbie came and greeted you. You should accept it.

Please take care of us, Mr. Choi Kang Chi!

Whoa. Mr. Dam.

I suppose you have some influence here.

Well..

A little.

Since we're done with the greetings, you all can go.

Yes!

This place has more scale than I thought, doesn't it?

It's the academy that my father has built during the past few decades.

If it weren't for the Admiral's recommendations, you wouldn't have been accepted so easily.

Oh, so that's it.

Tae Seo!

If I can't have it, I steal it.

If I can't steal, I'll just have to get rid of him.

That's how, I,

Jo Kwan Woong, do things.

Tae Seo..

Die.

Just die!
