Original subtitles

Can you find someone for help?

Of course

Your younger brother is looking for you

He said you would understand when hearing the name Geom-ee

He said you should go to the mountain camp soon

He told me to inform you that he had found her.

At midnight

You should sneak out to the Tokjom dock

Where is my elder sister?

She is being pursued by the soldiers

Isn't this place open for business?

Is there any prostitute coming from a slave?

Freeze!

Episode 7

Oh my god, look at this posture

How can you do it like that, come on out

This way

I want to ask you a question.

Has any young merchant come here?

She says she is looking for an older prostitute

I don't know

Please think carefully

She is around 21 years old

It is said that selling goods to brothels is her job.

Is it not true that your news spreads out very fast?

If you help me find her, I will give you this

Isn't it Sahyang?

This is not your typical Sahyang

but the high-grade goods extracted from the balls of Sahyang deer

All that required...

Have you seen any suspicious woman?

No, we have not

Put it away. Hurry up!

What's that?

What are you doing? You are ruining my image

I am a good citizen.

You are being arrested for selling Bumboji paintings illegally.

It's an injustice for me!

I am a good citizen who has never got away from paying taxes.

Why did you arrest me?

How can Chosun legal system be like this?

It's so...

I wonder who divulged our secret

in such a time like this...

Well, what's on your legs?

Hang on, Master Park said that

there was a girl being arrested for adultery, it is you, isn't it ?

Look at your indifferent face

It sounds interesting

How about playing with me?

Don't move, don't move

Uncle!

We meet again

What are you doing?

I'm so happy to see you here.

But uncle, I need your help on something

What is it?

I have some troubles recently

I need a quiet place to think

It's so...

If you want to do that, just go out and do it

Don't ruin your image like that

You little rascal!

How dare you interfering in my business!

Uncle! I have bought the series of Bumboji paintings from Bong Soon

I got arrested for selling Bumboji paintings illegally

But the leader kept ordering me to disclose the buyers' indentities.

It seems right, buyers are always considered to be the more serious offender than sellers

So, do you want me to disclose their names?

So, will you disclose them?

Uncle! Uncle!

Thank you!

Father! I have an urgent issue!

Please help me out! Please help me out quickly!

What are you saying?

You dare to sell those hatred paintings?

People like you should stay here for some more days to taste the hard life

Do you hear me, bastard?

Father! I truly must get out immediately!

I have a very urgent business to take care of

Urgent issue? What is it?

After getting out, you will sell that kind of paintings again, right ?

You bastard, die already

Let us die altogether

Please speak softly

A tiger falling on the street is such a shame.

Are you capable of feeling ashamed?

Feeling ashamed, yet...

You deserve to die

Damn you

It's impossible not to punish you

Bastard!

Haven't you come to your senses yet?

Father!

Come here, hurry up!

Come here, bastard

Are you going to kill that woman, my Lord?

Oh, you have already asked that question for times, young master

Once that government messenger becomes conscious again

We will have her whipped and send her to another household to work as a slave

Young master's contribution will be reported to the upper authorities.

Your lord must be feeling very happy as well.

This food was prepared especially for you by your mother. Go ahead and eat them.

It's you who makes our Dan worry so much

Really? Our Dan?

You bastard!

Drink some water or you'll get choked

Miss!

Come and have a bite

My father usually interferes in others' business, indeed.

It's not enough even for me alone

Rascal, hurry up!

Thank you, uncle.

Your manner is terrible

Don't you feel sorry for that person?

Father!

Do you know what crime that sister committed?

Adultery, it is adultery

Adultery?

This bastard

Aren't adultery and selling Bumboji paintings similar crimes?

You shouldn't even touch a dog during his meal, my father

Moreover, the natures of the crimes are quite different.

How can they be compared?

But she doesn't look like that kind of person.

Do they need to have a "I committed adultery" written on her head?

Am I wrong, father?

My Lord!

Rascal, what are you screaming about so early in the morning ?

We have just captured a slave escaping from San Cheon

Rascal!

Escaping slaves are also ought to be reported to me now?

Am I to care, am I to command?

How would I have time for it?

Wise guy, you have ruined my image

But she is the daughter of Lee Won Ho, the rebel who committed suicide 13 years ago, in the failed attempt to restore Gwang Hee's position.

It is said that her younger brother had come to find her.

Her younger brother?

Isn't he dead?

Yes, he is.

I confirmed his corpse, indeed.

So the person who Kwon Do Hyun wanted to unveil the truth to is that boy.

In other words, they knew Geom-ee is still alive long ago.

It's also my opinion.

I wonder if he has gotten hold of that piece of cloth yet.

Probably not, my lord, things are still not that bad

Even if the cloth is in his hand, so what?

We'll catch and kill him then things will be OK.

Quickly go and find him

Are you not going to sleep?

I think you are about to faint

Just sleep for a little while

By the way, do you have any relatives?

Why hasn't anyone visited you?

Yes

You should try to regain your peace of mind

As an experienced person I can tell you that

this place is a little scary but you will soon get used to it.

Really?

You are so kind to your son

I can't do anything for my son

Poor guy!

This boy always curls up his body when he sleeps

Yong-ee!

Stretch out your legs

Yong-ee!

There's someone named Yong-ee in Hanyang been looking for you

Where are you taking that girl to?

Stop right there!

I ask you once again

Where is your younger brother?

I don't have any younger brother

Without seeing the blood, then you won't open your mouth, will you?

Do you know what that is ?

It's a dried cow vein covered by lead

Just with a few rods, the lead will enter your body and destroy your flesh

I ask you once again

Your yonger brother... Lee Geom,

where is he?

On the same night that my father passed away 13 years ago,

my younger brother was killed too

Please help me find the murderer, my lord!

What a tough girl!

Refusing to disclose anything despite imminent death

Let him find his own way to come here

What should we do ?

To catch a fish, you need to prepare the bait

My younger brother is still alive

Still alive

Thanks God!

Geom ah!

My younger brother, Geom ah!

You are right in front of me but I can not utter a word to you

It's so...

What is this woman doing?

Is immorality also a disease?

No wonder I always have nightmares

Go over there and sleep!

Elder sister!

Where are you?

Hey boy, the sun rose up through your butt

Wake up!

What is going on?

You are being released

Is it true?

You had a very hard time.

You will be released soon, don't worry too much.

Therefore, don't be so flirtatious next time.

You work very hard.

Oh gosh! Your face looks so haggard.

Dae Shik!

Is committing adultery a big crime?

What? Why do you ask about committing adultery?

It may be a big crime.

The man and woman exchange their feelings, why does it seem to be a crime?

Uncle!

If you are done with all the work here, then go and sweep the horses' dung.

This boy!

But why did you mention adultery?

It is nothing really

Hey, maid.

Your owner were just released from prison but why are you...

Hurry and bring out the tofu.

Tofu? It's an expensive food.

Be careful! Otherwise I'll beat you up.

Whatever your owner told you to do, you just have to do it.

I don't see auntie

Hey boy!

You were given a promotion, a big promotion.

Please drink a lot of wine, my dignitaries.

I propose a toast to all you lords.

Dae Shik!

There is no more wine for dignitaries, quickly bing out more wine.

Please have some.

We are happy that you are here!

Are you home already?

Please sit down and have a cup of wine.

What is this rope?

The higher madarin told me to get a strong rope.

Why do they suddenly want to proceed with the death-by-hanging penalty?

I don't know.

It is because they wanted her to tell where her brother is, so they used many types of tortures

But she is a stubborn person.

She won't say anything even when she is near death.

Therefore, the higher madarin wants to punish her with the death penalty.

May I ask who it is?

Who else could it be!

Don't you really know that it's her?

She and you shared joys and sorrows with each other in the same prison cell

What are you doing woman?

Flirtation is also one type of disease

Therefore, don't be so flirtatious next time

Very beautiful

Both are very similar in looks

With just one look, you can both recognize each other right away

It's called a blood line

I'm sorry, so sorry.

I'm sorry for not being able to recognize you, my sister.

Sister!

What are you looking for?

Where is the honey jar?

What?

I'm asking you, "Where's the honey jar?"

Please enjoy the tofu and talk among yourselves, my lords

Where's the tofu coming from? Isn't it an expensive food item?

This tofu is very expensive.

But when is the girl's execution going to be?

Why? Do you want to come and watch?

Of course

That penalty is even more interesting than the burn penalty.

Why do you have such strange thought?

Is it that joyous to have a death penalty?

By the way, is it tomorrow?

No, it's not. Tomorrow is the birthday celebration for our group leader.

Therefore, it is being pushed back 'til the day after tomorrow.

Will we slaughter a buffalo for our group leader's birthday celebration?

Of course!

It is a rare opportunity to consume a bit of fat

You are so witty, my dignitaries.

But is there a fatty portion for me also?

Sure, you can come and join us

Why am I so feeble?

What do you think this place is that you dare to pee here?

My ear will be torn off by you soon.

My pants are already wet

Come here!

Follow me, bastard!

I will cane you with a big stick 5 times tomorrow.

What should I do when I want to pee?

Do you want me to pee in my pants?

Now the urine smell is all over the pants.

Oh gosh! Those bastards.

Why have you become like this, beaten half death by them?

Geom-ee said that

He would think of a way to rescue you.

Don't worry too much.

Geom-ee?

So you came here on purpose?

But who had beaten you to this bad shape?

Because of me, everytime you have to...

Thank you! Thank you...

You don't need to say thanks, between us...

I must see him.

As I have said already, you can't come in to visit if you are not his relative.

He's a swindler.

He said that I only needed to rub this oil and my body would be smooth

Therefore, I had spent a large sum of money to buy it

But this is only sesame oil, sesame oil

If you don't believe it, have a whiff

This guy!

I don't care

Hey, stop right there!

Why do you come so fast?

I was thinking about killing it

No need, our group leader said he will slaughter it in the Thief Catching Department.

Maybe he heard that if the cow is freshly slaughtered, the meat will be very tasty.

Who said that? It's nonsense!

Okay.

The best butcher in Chosun has arrived

Just give me that cow

While the cow is being slaughtered, I won't allow anybody to come in.

Only need to make one chop...

Is that Yong-ee?

Yong-ee!

Big brother!

The big plan didn't work out

Your sister is brought to other place.

They said that today is the day. Curse them!

Regardless of the birthday celebration, today they must go on with the plan

What?

There isn't too much time. Let's go!

Father!

Yeon-ee will come to you soon.

The past few years I have struggled to live

From now on I will be able to live peacefully by your side

Also, I've had a chance to meet Geom-ee once. I am very grateful to the heaven above

Mother!

Geom-ee!

Our Geom-ee

He will find you for certain

If you are her brother, hurry and step forward

If you don't come forward

The rope will rapidly tighten around her neck

Still not coming forward?

Alright!

I give you one last chance to save your sister

I'll count to three

One

Two

Three

Wait!

Please, don't kill her!

What is going on?

What happened?

It's...

Did you not promise me that you wouldn't kill that lady?

It's ...just a last resort

by the command of the higher mandarin

You can't do it

Did you not promise me that you wouldn't kill her?

Young master, please step back.

In the end, your younger brother doesn't care whether you are dead or alive

I'll give you one last chance

Where is your younger brother?

My younger brother...

He's been dead long time ago.

Oh gosh!

Wait, your younger brother will save you.

Alright!

When I save my sister and escape,

You should ride the horse forward at the same time.

Alright, we are here

Are you ready?

Ready!

Who's responsible for this? So troublesome

It's so cruel

seeing your sister executed by the death penalty in front of you

I guess it is to be expected, when you were younger

You'd even thrown a rock at your mother's head.

Uncle, you have not recovered yet from being bit by a crazy dog?

Good, just follow behind me your entire life

It is so boring

I shouldn't have come here to see it.

Oh gosh! What a piteous person!

I can't believe that girl is Yong-ee's older sister, not even in my wildest dream

Let me collect her death body

Are you crazy?

Do you want to make more trouble for Yong-ee?

My Yong-ee!

If someday he knew about that story...

Father! Mother! Is there anything edible?

I'm so hungry.

Why are you always crying for foods?

Where have you been?

Father! Mother!

Today when I was at the market...

I saw what I shouldn't be seeing

It's so sad

Oh, there are also some pastries

May I have some?

You, go wash your hands ...

Becareful or you will choke, drink some water, ok

Water...water

I'll never forget

Never ever forget!

Don't let there be even one tiny mistake

Etch it over here

Father!

I have always wanted to forget everything

All I ever wanted was to find my mother and older sister

Today

My older sister died

Now..

I can't look and pretend not to see, hear and pretend not to have heard

I can't live that way any more

I will definitely find out the one,

who killed my father, murdered my older sister

And then give him back all the pains that I haveendured

Definitely

I will definitely be able to do it

I've heard

Hyung, go!

Go and give consolations to the dead's soul

Consolations?

Why do I have to do that?

That woman was a criminal. She injured the ambassador then ran away

Everyone knows this was a crime deserving the death penalty

Hyung!

You only need to do what you ought to be doing

This is something that's praiseworthy by our nation

Nowhere to be seen?

No, Sir

Could it be... he hasn't heard that his older sister got executed?

Or...

Wanting to save his own life so he totally ignored his older sister's fate

He found his older sister

so it couldn't be possible that he hadn't heard the news

Exactly, that's what I am thinking too

But how do we find him now?

Where's Lee Geom's mother now?

If he had found his older sister then he'd definitely be searching for his mother

Good idea

But she's dead

What?

Wasn't there a fire that destroyed Lord Na Joo's residence?

Some slaves died, and his mother was one of those who died in the fire

You startled me. What are you doing here ?

I'm worried about you. That's why I came here

Are you alright?

Thank you hyung

I won't ever forget all the good deeds you have done for me

Your mother, I'll certainly help you find her

No need

No need to find her

What? Why?

My older sister

If I didn't go looking for her, she wouldn't have been dead

Yong-ee!

I can't harm my mother

I won't go find her

Surely she's well in someplace

I will... just believe that

Who could it be?

Aren't you the puppy of the Army's General?

Shi Wan!

I heard that your dog has accomplished big things

You can't tell by appearance

But as it turns out you are that scary

Hey brothers

If we don't watch ourselves when he's around, we will immediately be...

This bastard!

He's capable of doing anything at all to get promotion

Young master!

Young master! Are you alright?

Come on, get up

Are you alright, young master?

Young master!

Mother! Mother!

I am a killer!

I can't believe I've killed her

I really can't believe it

Why?

Why did you bring me to that house?

I cannot forgive you

Although I don't know what trouble you are going through

Our Geom-ee would be this big by now

Young master's awake already?

Please dine!

Our cook told us that after you wake up, you have to eat

It doesn't look like an ordinary sword

Just by looking at the handle already shows that the owner must be of nobility descent

or only royalty would have this

Is there a way to find out who owns this sword?

Just by looking at the carvings, no

So the carvings are done by the hands of Hwando silversmith?

That's right

But this is the first time I see this kind of carvings

It could have been carved after the sword was made

Please excuse me, I will take my leave

Just give up the idea

Unless you trespass into all the nobilities' households, you won't be able to find it

A valuable sword like that

Will surely be kept well hidden in the house

and protected like the treasure is

Don't be so sad anymore

In my heart of heart, I have never hoped for anything

How could you be my equal?

What are you talking about

Attacking people randomly have made you gone crazy

Was it my fault that your son failed the exam?

Young master Shi Wan passed!

What's more, he got first place

Young master also thinks it's unbelievable, right?

A bear performs the act, a human collects the money, right ?

Using money to buy position

took away all your efforts and passed as a first place scholar

Is this the real Red badge?

Young master also passed

It seems like the heaven above is listening

young master is truly awesome

Barely passing the exam

is much better than using money to buy first place scholar title

Hold on

Lady!

Lady, Master!

Uncle!

I've heard

You have also passed

I heard that your shoulder was injured

You are really good

ah, just congratulate me for passing the exam is not enough

I will have a congratulatory party for you immediately!

But

Before that, you have to do me a favor

This man has delivered calf liver for the banquet

but it smells bad

so please take it to the Palace's warehouse and exchange it for another one

Why are you still standing there?

Hurry up, take it out and give it to him

Just passing the martial arts and you think you can rule the whole world?

Even if you wait 100 days

You won't become a mandarin

Hurry up and exchange it!

Wait up

I will be standing above your head somedays

What? You bastard!

The Red badge is dirty

Is today a special day?

Where's everyone ?

You still don't have both of your hands up, so shameful

You guys have eaten the leopard's liver or what?

Nam Mun is Ajik gang's territory

I've never heard of the Ajik's gang

But I've heard of Tokjik's gang

Just like the rumours, his head is really made of tokjik

A filthy group

You took our master!

Ah, your Lord of Commons?

It wasn't our fault, he put his hands out first

It's probably because you guys didn't do your job well

Why couldn't you have served him better

Army Lord, Citizenship Lord, Legal Lord, Historian Lord, are all in your hands

And even the Lord of Commons is stolen

That's not acceptable

Bad people also have their own rules and regulations

What foolish things you are saying

Alright, let's have a fighting contest

If you guys win, we won't interfere with that old man's business

I'll keep my word

Step forward!

But...

Could only use your body as a weapon

Let's go!

What am I going to do?

Let me see

What's with the screaming?

I'm sorry hyung

It's all because of me that it became like this

Don't mind it too much, we weren't seriously injured

But just then, you were talking about giving in to the Lord of Commons, what's the meaning of that?

The reasons behind what we do is to feed politicians

Help them collect taxes

Help them punish the disobedient ones

So all the noble families have some sort of relationship with you?

Of Course

In the circle of power, everyone is related to our Akjik gang

So that means you often visit their house, right?

Of course

Because of the frequent visits, I know how many gold bars are in each household

And those gold bars are, ultimately, our efforts in collecting them on their behalf

Really?

I came to apply for the guard position (the lowest position in Forbidden Palace)

There's saying : black-headed animal can't understand much

Only peasant's descendants work as guard

That's why I wanted it

Because I'm also an humble peasant

so I'm asking to do the work of one

What? You bastard?

I won't consider you my son anymore

Am I...

really your son?

You bastard!

Just be a guard, or do any other job

Do whatever you want!

But don't claim that you know me at the Forbidden Palace!

I don't want to see your face anymore, just leave!

Go away!

What? Are you crazy?

You can still say that after such serious event?

But I should at least do something

And I failed the exam already

It's not that I don't understand how you are feeling

But...

How can you do whatever you want?

Please return home now, hurry!

Brother!

Get your hands off me

Uncle, please let me join your gang

You, why aren't you leaving?

Uncle, even if I'm beaten to a pulp

I will be loyal to you

I'm begging you, please.

Wait, isn't he the one that won the fighter championship last time?

That time, he violated the rules, and he was a very bad fighter

But violating the rules is also a fighting technique, right, Uncle?

He really does have a thick skin

Alright, let's see how you perform

Let him in the gang!

Thank you!

You will be blessed, Uncle!

Look at him

Brothers

How do I look?

I spent quite some time on this

Sir Byun Shik of Forbidden Palace has arrived!

From today,

A new mandarin will be assigned to the Forbidden Palace

Aunty!

Isn't Soe Dol home?

He went out already

This is...

What is this?

Please help take care of these. These are young master Shi Hoo's books.

He told me to throw them away

But he may regret it later on

Why does younger master have to throw his books away?

You still don't know about that young master Shi Hoo has registered to be a guard.

I feel so sorry for him

Passing the exam, then what?

Just because he was born out of wedlock, he can't become a mandarin

If he had other choices, he wouldn't have denounced the daughter of the rebel family

But young master Shi Wan got all the credit for that

what do you mean?

Dan-ee!

Have you heard the news, Dan-ee?

Our Ja Dol ...

Our Ja Dol has passed the exam

Dan-ee!

What's wrong with you?

What happened?

I have done wrong. I should have kept him beside me

just because I didn't want him to live his life like mine

Just because I wanted him to become a noble

So I repressed my pain to send him off

My son!

My son!

What are you talking about?

What should I do now?

she is your younger sister

your younger sister

what are you talking about?

Yong-ee's elder sister

was denounced by Ja Dol

that's why she died

what?

Oh my god!

How could it happen?

What are you doing?

Why don't you listen?

I told you to fill the trunk, didn't I?

This scoundrel!

I am selling vegetable, not apples

What? apples?

I don't even have enough money to die

If you don't even have enough money die, then just die

Destroy all, quickly!

What are you looking at? Get out of my sight!

These scoundrels!

Really

Whose territory is this?

It belongs to the state

As long as you are a merchant within the nation's territory, then you should pay taxes

To be human you should have a conscience

I have paid my full share of the mandatory taxes.

Let me tell you

Within a few days if you don't deliver a box of apples then you won't be able to sell anything here

Understood?

Let's go brothers

bastards!

calm down! give them some money then it will be okay

How is it now?

Come back to your senses, please!

They are that kind of people. You should know that by now

Take me as an example

I didn't listen to others' advice. That's why I'm in this predicament

Let's recover your spirit out of consideration for your daughter

Bastards!

Yong-ee!

What are you doing?

I'm coming!

You should be wiser

Bastard!

Hey..You!

Are you ok?

This bastard!

Don't scold him!

Are you ok?

I'm going to marry him someday, so please don't scold him.

you...

how could you pay attention to men's appearance at this early age!

I admit that his appearance is not bad.

However you can't be that way!

That guy has just destroyed your store. He is just a scamp!

You do not know anything!

Ouch, my back

Where is this place, hyung?

This is Lord Lee Myung's home

Lee Myung?

What are they? So heavy

Big brother!

Nobody is here now, I am so thirsty

Just eat one

so delicious

What is this?

Really

There are so many warehouses, so many boxes. Do they all contain money ?

This is nothing yet

There is a secret warehouse in the back

There are all kinds of treasure in there

All types of swords in this world

swords?

Have you seen them before?

There is still another warehouse where swords are kept

I went there several times to transfer the goods in

Were there any carvings on any of the swords?

Carving?

There were not only carvings

but also lot of gemstones studded on them

Tens of servants are guarding there around the clock so that nobody can break in

I heard that it is His Excellency (The Citizenship Lord) himself who keeps the key

Father! Mother! I am home

What's the occasion?

Why is there such a festive atmosphere at the dining table?

Go ahead and eat

What is wrong with you, mother?

Were you taking the wrong medication ?

How could you talk to your mother like that?

Because I am happy

By the way

What is this?

Soldier Recruitment Announcemnt from the Robbery Arrest Ministry

I won't take the exams any more. I will become a soldier

Say it again? soldier?

Yes, father

Actually, I have been thinking very carefully

I must become a soldier

in order to wipe out all the robbers and thieves in this world who often harrass decent citizens

I will protect the peace of Chosun

My ear

No matter what, I will apply to become a soldier in the Robbery Arrest Ministry

This damned rascal

Quickly go to school to register for the next exam

It is still 3 years away until the next exam, father!

I will be too old by then

What's three years, even if it is 30-year waiting time, you still have to take the exam

Follow me, quickly!

Thief!

Scoundrel! Quickly arrest the thief!

Thief, arrest the thief

Yong-ee!

Stop!

Stop right there!

Where have you gone off to?

Found it!

I have found it!

Walk properly!

Long live!

This scoundrel

Ladies and gentlemen!

Let's shout 'Long live' for our hero

Long live!

Ladies and gentlemen!

He is ... my son

We look alike, don't we?

Ladies and gentlemen!

Let's shake hands with this hero

Then after that, shake hands with the father of the hero

Shout 'Long live' to our hero

Long live

My Yong-ee is the best

Father!

Just let me become a soldier, I will save some money

It won't be late to take the exam by then

Alright

I saw it with my own eyes today

with your enthusiasm

all the thieves in Chosun will be wiped out

Give it a try

However

You must take the exam, understand?

Yes, father

Could you teach me how to steal ?

What?

Aren't you going to be a soldier catching robbers and thieves? Why do you need to learn stealing?

One of the sections of competitive examination is catching a thief

I need to know thieves' methods in order to catch him

Really?

Alright

A father should help out his son

But you mustn't tell Dan-ee about this, understand?

Let's pinky promise?

But father, why did you become a thief?

Do you really want to know?

I wish I had some wine now

The Aristocrats took my family's land.

My parents were so angry and passed away

I was too young at that time and didn't know what to do

I had no other choices, I was so hungry that I must do it

Yong!

After you become a soldier catching robbers and thieves

don't arrest the pitiful thieves!

Just arrest serious criminals, understand?
