Original subtitles

Save me, my lady.

Save me.

Please save me.

Save me.

That is right. Please.

Come closer.

Good.

Do not let go of me.

Do not let go.

That is it. Pull me up.

Do not let go.

Do not let go.

Do not let go.

No!

Ro Seo!

My lady!

Ro Seo.

What is wrong?

What is that?

We are all dead.

He will kill us all.

(Moonshine, Episode 5)

I must have gone crazy.

Goodness. I must have been insane.

Why? Why did I bother to...

What have you done?

Why are you here?

What did you say?

Why do you keep following me?

Following you?

I did not follow you.

Stop right there!

I thought you did not care about my affairs.

I thought you did not want me to drag you into my ridiculous life.

So why? Why did you have to follow me and ruin everything?

Ruin everything?

If it was not for you, I would have paid off my debt.

I almost had all the money.

In that case, this incident would not have happened!

You are the one who disobeyed the law and brewed liquor!

Now, we are all bound to die. Happy?

He probably died.

He will not live for too long anyway.

It was little, but we did feed him some.

Right, my lady? Right?

Feed him?

What did you feed him?

Destroying angel.

That is...

Poison? What?

Gosh. Were you going to poison him to death?

What choice did we have?

If not, he would have killed us instead!

I did not put it in.

What?

I did not put the destroying angel in the porridge.

My lady!

That is a relief. I guess you still had...

an ounce of conscience in you.

Relief? I doubt it is a relief.

Sang Mok knows where we live.

What is going on?

Why did we have to come to an inn this late at night?

Well... The pillars were about to collapse.

Due to the rainy season last year, they must have rotted.

Rotted? Where?

In the back room.

He saw it.

Right?

What? Saw what?

You said the ants ate away at the pillars.

Yes, they did.

Those pillars may look normal on the outside,

but they are actually weak. Right?

Right.

What do you think will happen when they repeatedly...

expand and shrink due to the humidity?

- They will break. - They will break.

Right? They will crumble into pieces.

Young.

You definitely have a keen eye.

Un Sim.

Do you not know what I have done for you?

Of course, I do.

My father sold me.

And you fed me, gave me clothes,

and raised me.

I am doing this for you.

Open this door.

Do you think you will get away with this?

Open this door! Open it!

Un Sim.

Un Sim.

You need to see this.

That is Gye Sang Mok.

I will contact Merchant Sim.

No.

It is too dark.

Let us not create any ruckus.

Why did you come outside?

I heard the wind.

Your bow will be useless on a windy day like today.

A great archer should know how to read the flow of the wind.

I hate windy days.

They bring back bad memories.

Seeing how you got into all sorts of trouble,

I am sure you have made many bad memories.

My father passed away...

on a windy day just like this.

Father.

Father.

Father.

Maybe that was...

the moment when my life fell into turmoil.

You should go inside and sleep.

Even if Gye Sang Mok was alive,

nothing would happen tonight.

Why do you not report me to Saheonbu?

I operated that mobile bar,

ran my business on Buddha's Birthday,

and I had Gye Sang Mok locked up. You found out everything.

But...

why have you not reported me?

Then why have you not reported this?

Does that mean you have feelings for that young lady?

- That is not the case! - What is not the case?

Well, the thing that is not the case is...

If anyone...

finds out you have been selling liquor,

it will not be easy for me to avoid interrogation...

as I rented out one of your rooms.

I am keeping my mouth shut...

only for my success and to keep my honor.

I am sorry.

Even if anything is to happen to me,

I will not mention you.

What I mean is that...

I will tell them you were oblivious even though you lived at my place.

I will take full responsibility. I promise.

I hate to leave things ambiguous.

I must clarify the ones who are responsible.

As far as I know, there is one more person who is responsible.

As of today,

I have been appointed as the Crown Prince's teacher.

My name is Nam Young.

Your Royal Highness, please lower your head...

and bow to him twice.

Me? Bow to him?

Your Royal Highness, show your respect to your teacher.

First, you humiliated the Crown Prince of this country,

and now you wish to be my teacher?

Go home while I am still nice to you.

Your Royal Highness.

I do not mind postponing our first class,

but I would like to speak to you in private.

Please ask your subjects to leave.

- I told you to leave. - This is an urgent matter.

Shut your mouth.

If you dare to say another word,

I will cut off your tongue.

- Your Royal Highness. - Please dismiss...

other subjects.

What are you doing? Pick it up.

If you wish to make use of your tongue that badly,

I dare you to use that sword and touch just my clothes.

A sword is a barbaric weapon, so I have never learned to use it.

Your nerdiness is not something to be proud of.

Please do not boast your strength,

and allow me to speak to you in private.

I said I will cut off your tongue.

Pick it up.

You said...

I just need to touch your clothes.

Try me if you can.

Then I will show you respect as my teacher.

Pick it up again.

Goodness, he will end up dead before he begins to teach.

You are...

rather persistent.

I am...

very bad...

at losing, Your Royal Highness.

Eol Dong!

You may escort my teacher out.

He will hold his first class next time.

Not yet.

I am not done yet.

Good grief, I am so sick of you.

This time, I will make sure you never get back up.

I touched it.

Your clothes.

Can you see anything?

No, just a little more.

Not yet?

It looks like she will turn around very soon.

Really?

Your Highness, I do not think I can hold out any longer.

No, just a little more. Hold out just a little longer.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

- She is turning around. - Really?

I brought tawny daylily.

If you keep it close to your waist, you will give birth to a son.

You should keep it in the vase,

but when you are inside, stick it by your waist.

Do you also believe such superstition, Grandfather?

After 100 days, the baby's gender gets decided,

and there is no going back.

So until then, please do as I say.

If I could give birth to a boy just by sticking...

a few flowers by my waist,

I would also have been born as a boy, not a girl.

You must...

give birth to a prince.

I will do my best, Grandfather.

The Queen's energy was too strong...

for me to feel the baby's energy.

She has the energy of a big general...

who could have found a country if she was born a man.

A general?

I knew it.

She is 20 years younger than me,

but I was always scared to face her.

So? You could not see if she had a boy or a girl?

It does not matter if her child is a boy or a girl.

Be careful.

She is not your fight, Your Highness.

Sang Mok!

Darn. Seriously.

What did they say?

There is no one who saw him?

They said they did not see him.

Gosh.

Are you sure there is no such young man in Hanyang?

There was no such man who was not married yet.

Does that mean...

he could be married?

Maybe he does not live in Hanyang.

If I have to search outside Hanyang,

I might need some more of this.

Would this be enough?

Is this "Mount Geumgang" by Danok?

This is so precious.

His face is even more precious than this.

Search every corner of this country to find him.

Do you understand?

How did it go? Have you not seen Sang Mok?

Not even someone who looks like him?

I have not.

The students of Seonggyungwan are on their way to appeal.

- We are on our way to appeal. - We are on our way to appeal.

The students of Seonggyungwan are on their way to appeal.

- We are on our way to appeal. - We are on our way to appeal.

The students of Seonggyungwan are on their way to appeal.

We are on our way to appeal.

The students of Seonggyungwan are on their way to appeal.

- We are on our way to appeal. - Hurry.

Excuse me.

It's me. We have met at the marketplace.

Right. But I am busy now.

I did not have a chance to ask your name since you left hurriedly.

I am Ae Jin of Han family.

I am Ro Seo of Kang family.

Again? What is making you so busy that you have to run all the time?

You were running on Buddha's Birthday too.

Did you see me on Buddha's Birthday?

I saw you with a handsome guy. Is he your lover?

Listen carefully.

If you speak a word about what you saw that day,

I will not let you get away with it.

If a rumor spreads,

saying that a lady of a noble family steals at the marketplace...

Would it not be an embarrassment?

But you also had something inappropriate.

Anyway.

We will not have anything to gain if the words spread.

I am saying that we should be careful.

Do you understand?

What was that all about? Are they not supposed to be together?

A forbidden love?

- Please dissolve... - Please dissolve...

- the Office of Prohibition, Your Majesty. - The Office of Prohibition, Your Majesty.

With the prohibition on their back, the ruffians...

of the Office of Prohibition are exploiting the poor people.

Please dissolve the Office of Prohibition.

- Please dissolve... - Please dissolve...

- the Office of Prohibition, Your Majesty. - The Office of Prohibition, Your Majesty.

Please dismiss that cunning Lee Si Heum...

who is making you rule your people harshly.

- Please dismiss him, Your Majesty. - Please dismiss him, Your Majesty.

They say the sky tells you its will...

through people's minds.

His Majesty...

will not be able to keep ignoring the public opinion.

- Please dissolve... - Please dissolve...

- the Office of Prohibition, Your Majesty. - The Office of Prohibition, Your Majesty.

Please dismiss that cunning Lee Si Heum.

Things are getting worse like this.

How can this help me to calm down?

After they dismiss you,

it is obvious that they will go after the Crown Prince.

Please do not worry, Your Majesty.

Until the day I die,

they will never get to threaten...

the Crown Prince again.

- Move. - Get out of my way.

Search everything!

Let us see what you have.

(Military Camp)

Go!

Military Chief.

What brings you here from the Department of Justice?

We have caught the soldiers of the Military Camp...

selling liquor illegally at the marketplace.

His Majesty ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the case.

What?

Take him.

What are you doing?

You may all leave.

What do you think you are doing?

What do you mean by that, Chief State Councilor?

Are you saying that I made the soldiers of the Military Camp...

sell liquor at the marketplace?

You should question the Military Chief about it.

There are 5,000 soldiers at the Military Camp.

- We cannot keep an eye on... - In fact...

Having 5,000 soldiers is too much.

The number of soldiers of the Military Camp increased...

during the war, but they were not paid properly.

I am sure they sold liquor to make a living.

Decreasing the size of the Military Camp...

could be the solution.

The Crown Prince is having liquor outside the palace.

What is the purpose of the prohibition anyway?

The prohibition was ordered by His Majesty.

His Majesty is the one who will allow or prohibit it.

And you are the one who put him in that position.

Try calling in all the students of the country to make an appeal.

What do you think will happen when we start...

to find fault with the Military Camp that turned complacent?

I will not be leaving the palace by myself.

Chief Royal Secretary.

You punk!

Gosh. Seriously.

What are you doing?

That is what I want to say.

My precious face was tainted because of you.

Gosh, you creep.

My goodness.

Inspector Nam. Are you all right?

Yes, I am.

Eol Dong. Go and get fresh water.

Pardon?

It seems clean to me.

Do you want to drink it?

I will go get fresh water.

All right. Go ahead.

What you wanted to say by risking your own life.

Please help.

My goodness.

Un Sim, what brings you to the Medical Service Bureau?

I hear you specialize...

in broken bones and torn tendons.

Could you perhaps take a look at a patient for me?

And where is that patient?

He was not fit enough to travel...

and I must ask you to make a house call.

All right. Then please wait a moment.

The female physician...

should also come with.

Me?

My lady!

Geum?

My lady, we are in big trouble.

Trouble?

The physician said he is out of the woods for now.

Once he wakes up, he will come for us.

For now, you should inform Inspector Nam.

If anyone finds out you have been selling liquor,

it will not be easy for me to avoid interrogation...

as I rented out one of your rooms.

No, this is my problem and it does not involve him.

Then what do we do? Should we make a run for it?

My lady!

Geum, take off your clothes.

Pardon?

I told you to take off your clothes.

Physician Yoo...

has sent over medicinal herbs for the patient.

Did you not know?

You will see later.

State what you saw on Buddha's Birthday.

On Buddha's Birthday, I saw Gye Sang Mok.

- You saw Gye Sang Mok? - Yes.

A girl was with him, but I did not see her face.

Although, her cap indicates that she is a female physician.

A female physician?

Merchant Sim!

Merchant Sim, he is at Giringak.

Sang Mok is at Giringak.

Giringak?

Sang Mok is at Giringak,

but she still walked in there?

How are you here together though?

So where is Ro Seo?

It seems to me that you wearing her clothes.

She suggested that we swap clothes,

took the medicinal herbs, and headed to Giringak.

With medicinal herbs?

Are you saying she went to him with a cure?

No, to kill him.

What?

Actually, to be exact,

she went there to forfeit her life.

I am sorry.

But this is the only way.

Letting you live...

will only put Geum, my brother, and Young in danger.

I will pay for my sin...

in this life or the next.

Go ahead.

She could not possibly...

leave in one piece after killing him.

The drugs in his system have put him to sleep...

which means he cannot fight back.

Kill him or be killed yourself.

The choice seems clear to me.

Go on.

You only have a small window of opportunity.

No way.

Some paths are not meant to be taken...

and some armies should not be attacked.

Are you going to barge in wielding your sword?

Are you suggesting that we let her die then?

The ancient philosopher Sun Tzu said,

"The art of war is in the deception."

"Attack before your opponent..."

"has a chance to prepare."

To the point...

that they do not realize the deception at all.

Why did it take you this long to know that Gye Sang Mok is here?

Forgive us.

He is here, Merchant Sim.

He took his medication only a while ago.

Sang Mok, are you coming to?

How reckless of you...

to come here alone.

Was it you?

Did you order Gye Sang Mok to kill me?

Kill you? Me?

As if killing you would benefit me in any way.

You have a debt of 100 nyang.

How is that in your possession?

You could not pay this month's interest...

which added 20 nyang to your debt.

Even the most gifted...

would not be able to earn 10 nyang a month.

And every month, you have to pay an interest of 20 nyang.

You must have had to find...

an alternative way to pay off your debt.

You just had your opportunity.

It was your final chance to kill your creditor...

and be freed of your debt.

Soon, Gye Sang Mok will wake up.

And you will either be sold off to a bar...

or to a wealthy man...

as his mistress.

He will sell you off against your will.

Do you not think so?

However,

I will give you...

one last chance.

You will be able to turn the tables...

yourself.

What do you mean?

At first, I just thought you two were daring.

I assumed you would be caught by the authorities...

or someone even worse.

However,

you raised the stakes.

My lady.

When ordinary people...

urgently need a lot of money,

they either sell everything they have...

or steal.

However,

you were different.

You came up with the mobile bar...

and even attempted to do business with me.

On top of that,

look what you have done to him.

I have to admit. You are rather reckless.

But I really liked you.

- That was... - How much...

do you think they paid for me?

Twenty nyang.

A bottle of liquor for my father.

But now,

I am worth far more than 1,000 or even 10,000 nyang.

Sell yourself to me.

Do you not want to find out...

how far you can go?

We are executing our official duties.

We expect your cooperation!

While I distract them,

look for Ro Seo and get her out of here.

I will look for Gye Sang Mok.

I am a Saheonbu inspector.

Search every nook and cranny.

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Who did this to you?

What did they look like?

What are you talking about?

Come to your senses!

Tell me who they were right now.

Gye Sang Mok.

Merchant Sim, the inspectors are here.

Inspectors?

- Sang Mok. - Sang Mok.

Un Sim, the inspectors of Saheonbu are here!

Inspectors?

They searched the entire capital...

but could not find even one of the bodies.

That is why I thought someone great was behind you.

But this is much greater than I expected.

Someone behind me? What do you mean?

You must hide...

your feelings well if you are to lie.

A Saheonbu inspector and a bootlegger holding hands...

How shocking and immoral.

Get out!

Sang Mok. Gosh!

What is going on?

We do not know either.

My arm! That hurts!

He has broken all of his limbs.

Are you all right?

What?

My limbs are fine.

I was wrong.

I remember meeting Iron-armor and One-eyed...

at a three-way intersection.

Judging by the state I am in, they must have died already.

- What? - What?

What happened to Sogang? Did we take over?

Sang Mok.

What is it? Did they take it?

That happened ages ago.

What are you talking about?

An inspector? Why would an inspector be here?

Did something happen?

Inspector Nam, we found a storage.

What are you doing?

What was that?

I was being disrespectful.

I apologize.

Are you going to open all of them?

Then should I call her name for everyone to hear?

Right.

Do not be ridiculous.

How can we barge into Giringak...

without notifying our superiors?

Thanks to your letter of appeal,

Saheonbu is already on edge.

You will get us beheaded at this rate.

I can assure you...

that you will keep your heads.

Who are you?

Are you not that playboy from before?

How can someone like you guarantee that?

You will be shocked...

once you hear who my father is.

What a load of nonsense.

I know how all the lords' children look.

You better not lie to me.

Officer Hwang, be careful what you say.

If you want to keep rambling, show me your identity tag.

Officer Hwang, where are your manners?

Show me. Show me your identity tag.

What is it? Scared? You might as well be scared to death.

He is the Crown Prince.

He can be the crown prince or the crown princess.

I will not speak with you until you show me your identity tag.

Wait. What did you say?

Crown what?

- Prince. - Prince?

- The Crown Prince? - Yes.

The Crown Prince!

I said you would be shocked...

once you found out who my father was.

I deserve to die, Your Royal Highness!

If you do as you are told, His Royal Highness...

will turn a blind eye to your impertinence.

Do you not agree?

What are you doing? Why are you not following me?

Yes, Your Royal Highness. We are on our way.

This is the place, sir.

The key is here.

I am Un Sim, the vice-head of Giringak.

I will open it myself.

The prohibition is strict.

It is the same with Giringak.

Oh, right.

I saw a female physician wandering around on my way here.

That is strange, right?

I am sorry for the trouble.

Move!

Her cap indicates that she is a female physician.

My goodness.

Gosh.

Let us get out.

My goodness.

Let us go.

Who...

are you?

I asked who you are.

I am a trivial man who does not deserve your interest.

I own a merchant ship in the western river.

You are a merchant?

What brings you to a courtesan house?

I am here to take some gisaengs.

But I guess today is not the day for me.

I will come back again.

Hold on.

What is your name?

My name is Sim Heon.

If you ever visit me,

I will treat you well.

Treasure hunting is done.

Let us leave.

Pardon? Yes, Your Royal Highness.

What were you thinking?

You are making a habit of getting into trouble.

What would you have done if anyone had found out?

All right.

By the way, are you not hurt?

A Saheonbu inspector and a bootlegger holding hands...

How shocking and immoral.

Why are you here?

Why am I here? What do you think?

You were so reckless, and...

Why would you...

All right. Let us just stop here.

What happened to your face?

Did someone hit you?

Gosh.

- Lady Ro Seo. - The jade guy?

You are okay.

Are you hurt or anything?

Why would you hold the hand of a noble lady?

You held her hand for quite some time.

That was inevitable.

Gosh.

Oh, my.

What are you two doing?

How did you bring him from Gaeseong?

What are you wearing now?

Are you posing as an inspector?

He made me do it.

You are the one who put them on...

saying that you did not want to dress as a patrolman.

Are you...

Are you out of your mind or what?

One of you should have stopped the other.

You two are no different from each other.

Wait. We are no different? Do you not think that is too harsh?

Why are you the one offended?

Should I be flattered about it then?

I do not feel good about it too.

Where are you going?

Take back what you said.

- Gosh. - Darn.

Seriously.

I am saying that I will arrange a marriage, Minister of War.

Pardon? Arrange a marriage?

The engagement with the Cho Family is broken.

You must find a new son-in-law.

Well...

That is true.

But my daughter is not mature yet.

She takes appearance very seriously.

You know there is a perfect match for her.

Pardon?

His appearance is good enough.

He passed the state exam at an early age,

so he is in service.

Even His Majesty favors him.

His loyalty to the state deserves to be praised.

He is a man who is hard to find these days.

Who is it?

We are having this precious beef.

This is so luxurious.

This country says not to have beef.

You are doing everything they say not to.

Be quiet.

You should not say something...

that spoils appetite in front of food.

- Open up. - No.

A Saheonbu inspector and a bootlegger holding hands...

How shocking and immoral.

By the way, Young.

The pillar that you said ants nibbled...

seemed fine to me.

What are you doing?

I am sorry.

Gosh.

You should try it too.

- Lady Ro Seo? - Yes?

The meat will burn.

Oh, right. Okay.

Gosh, that precious beef. It is burnt.

What are you thinking so hard?

Nothing.

All right. Try this, everyone.

You must have mushrooms with beef.

Where did you get these mushrooms?

They were in the kitchen.

It was hard to find because they were hidden.

You must have this raw.

Hey!

Ro Seo, why are you doing that to mushroom?

Hey! Darn it. I hate mushrooms.

Right, my lady?

Yes, it is not good manners for the meat.

It is not. No.

Goodness.

Goodness, what is this? This darned weather.

What do we do?

- Darn it. - Wait, one second.

- What do we do? - My gosh.

- Grab this. - Bring it in.

Let us move it in.

- Over here. - Let us go inside.

This way.

This is hot. This is too hot.

What should I do with this?

This is hot.

Oh my.

Goodness, what is this?

- Goodness. - My gosh.

Come on, really?

I will give you 20 nyang for 1 mal of liquor.

You can make 200 nyang for mere 10 mal.

If you bring me 50 mal, you will get 1,000 nyang.

I do not care if you bring cheongju or soju.

But it has to be top-notch.

Someone who is good with figures like you...

would not take the short end.

What are you...

trying to gain with this?

My goal is the same as yours.

Freedom.

It is worth taking a risk.

I accept your offer.

(Debtor, Kang Hae Soo, Creditor, Gye Sang Mok)

(Moonshine)

Congratulations, my lady.

You received an offer of marriage from the Minister of War.

I think we are disturbing them. Let us go.

I realized you are a man of a big caliber...

after reading your petition.

Did you dare to plot conspiracy?

Get ready.

We will leave early in the morning tomorrow.

I am setting an example.

This is what happens if you dare to covet after Hanyang.

Ro Seo.

I came to tell you to take care.

Stop meddling with my life!

Leave, while I say it nicely.

Go live your own life well.

Please...

treasure yourself a little more.
