Original subtitles

Hanjo.

Go back.

Go back to Japan with your gang.

Hanjo!

If you want to kill me,

you’re going to have to do it yourself.

While risking everything you have.

Park Yungang!

- Arrest him. / - Yes, sir!

What are you doing?

Let go of me.

What are you doing?

I heard that there was a murder.

We’re here to arrest those

who were responsible.

Please cooperate.

Stop! He’s a Japanese gentleman.

You can’t just arrest him like that.

He has no special rights

outside of the port area.

If you have a problem,

you can talk to the Japanese Legation.

Let me talk to a Japanese diplomat.

Before he arrives here, I won’t go anywhere.

Take him!

Take him away!

Yes, sir.

Hanjo, you won’t get away with this.

Look at you.

Yamamoto, who you put all your hopes into,

has been destroyed.

Who are you going to rely on now?

Park Yungang.

You’re making a big mistake.

Mistake?

I’m trying to avenge my friend.

[Gunman in Joseon - Episode 19]

Ganemaru!

What’ll happen to that guy Yamamoto?

He’ll be deported to Japan.

He’ll never set foot in Joseon again.

Something like this should

never happen again.

But this isn’t the end.

Your revenge isn’t complete.

Dangerous things will keep happening.

Mr. Ganemaru saved you this time,

but next time...

If I tell you to stop everything now,

am I being too selfish?

If I tell you to leave everything behind

and live a normal life with me,

would it be too much to ask of you?

Suin.

I’m sorry. I’m so frustrated.

I’m scared as well.

We don’t know what will happen next.

I’m sorry.

But I can’t stop now.

As long as Choi Wonsin is alive.

I have to end this fight.

I need to sever

this ill-fated relationship with him.

It won’t take long.

I promise.

As a Japanese diplomat,

I strongly protest to the Joseon government.

Park Yungang,

who murdered 6 Japanese citizens,

should be arrested and punished immediately.

As a Japanese diplomat,

I strongly protest to the Joseon government.

Park Yungang,

who murdered 6 Japanese citizen,

should be arrested and punished immediately.

The police said it was self defense.

Those who broke into Park Yungang’s place

with guns late at night were Japanese.

But what our witness, Yamamoto Sinzi, said

was the complete opposite.

If the Joseon government

tries to protect Park Yungang,

the Japanese government won’t

just let it slide.

Your Majesty, during the last battle,

the Japanese Legation was burnt down

and diplomats died.

Japan demanded a large amount

of compensation for that.

That’s why there’s a Japanese army

stationed in the capital.

If we just let it slide,

Japan will use this case as an excuse

to invade Joseon, Your Majesty.

Hide?

Yamamoto and Choi Wonsin planned

the whole thing to kill me.

You know that, right?

There’s no evidence that they did it.

I have witnesses.

If they’re Joseon people, it won’t work.

The Japanese won’t believe them.

They don’t have any evidence

except Yamamoto’s statement.

Japanese citizens died.

His Majesty doesn’t think

provoking them is a good idea.

Yamamoto took rice from Joseon

and tried to send it to Japan.

He's joined with Choi Wonsin and

has made Joseon people’s lives miserable.

How can His Majesty

protect someone like him?

Whose king is His Majesty any way?

While ignoring his own people’s pain,

how can he protect Joseon?

I’m as angry as you are,

but this could become a diplomatic issue.

I don’t think His Majesty will side with you.

I’m here to see Her Grace.

His Majesty is visiting her.

Please wait for a moment.

Yes, ma’am.

Why are you becoming weak again?

You have already decided only to think

about strengthening your power.

You can’t put this country in jeopardy

because of that fellow, Park Yungang.

Please make up your mind.

Arrest Park Yungang immediately.

If he has to die, so be it.

If needed, something like that has to be done.

Yungang.

Park Yungang?

The Investigative Bureau is

going to arrest him.

Before that happens,

you need beat them to it.

Arrest Park Yungang and

bring him to His Majesty.

Good.

I can finally get rid of him

without any obstacles.

Hurry. You don’t have much time.

The soldiers will be arriving any minute.

You’re currently a wanted man.

His Majesty has lost

his last shred of conscience.

Boss, you have to save yourself.

The Peddlers’ army is here.

Choi Wonsin is on his way here

with his peddlers’ army.

Hurry, Boss. Come on.

Why don’t you take Jemi to the temple?

Take care of Yeonha there as well.

Don’t worry about us. Get out of here.

What are you doing?

I’m executing His Majesty’s orders.

Where is Park Yungang?

He’s not here.

Search the area thoroughly.

What’s going on?

Leave. You’re being rude.

The owner is out at the moment.

Where is Park Yungang?

Tell me. Now!

I don’t know.

He went to the palace, and never came back.

There must be a secret room somewhere.

Find it.

There’s nothing here.

I’m the only one in this room. I’m serious.

Bingo!

That way. Chase them.

Yes.

Where is Park Yungang?

We lost him.

Send out notices.

Put Park Yungang’s sketch

everywhere and find him.

Yes, father.

Yungang. Over there.

Over there. Get them.

Yes, sir.

Are you okay?

I’m fine.

Let’s go.

Over there.

Get them.

Not only the soldiers of

the Investigative Bureau,

but Choi Wonsin’s peddlers’ army

is chasing him.

It’s only a matter of time until they’re caught.

This is terrible.

We’ve got to visit the Count of Geumryung.

[Count of Geumryung: Park Yeonghyo, the husband of Prince Yeonghye]

What do you think you’re doing?

Where did Suin go?

Did he go with Park Yungang?

I don’t know.

She went to the palace and never came back.

She’s right. We’re also looking for Lady Suin.

Tell her this.

Park Yungang will die soon.

If she hides him,

she’ll end up being punished severely.

Let’s go.

What’s going on?

We’ve located Park Yungang.

Have you? Where is he?

He’s in Mount Mohang, near the castle gate.

Soldiers from the IB are chasing him.

Let’s go.

Good. They don’t know we’re here.

Let’s spend the night here.

It seems to be fairly safe.

Okay.

When I tripped and fell earlier.

Let me see.

I’m okay.

I’m sorry.

Because of me, you’ve become a fugitive.

Don’t say that. I’m okay.

You can think about your own safety for now.

When morning comes, I’ll send you home.

I’ll come with you.

No. We can’t return together.

They’ll be watching me to get to you.

But you can’t be with me

while I’m on the run.

I’m not going to let you go alone.

I’m going to stay with you.

Suin.

The Black Gunman of the Full Moon?

Yes, I’m sure you’ve heard of him.

[Park Yeonghyo] He’s a well known gunman among people.

Was it Park Yungang,

who you told me about so many times?

Yes, he’s a fugitive now.

He’s a very important person for our plan.

He’s the most skilled gunman I know.

To make your army,

a strong army filled with skilled gunmen,

we need Park Yungang’s help.

Then?

Please send your soldiers.

Okay. I’ll send my soldiers and look for him.

Yungang.

Yungang.

There she is!

Get her!

Where is Park Yungang?

I don’t know.

If you don’t tell me, I’ll kill you.

I really don’t know.

Even if I knew, I wouldn’t tell you.

Yungang.

Are you okay?

Can you walk?

Yes.

Let’s go.

Are you okay?

Let’s have a seat.

Where have you been?

I’m sorry.

Yungang.

Let’s go. It’s dangerous here.

Choi Wonsin has brought

the peddlers’ army with him.

It’s him, Park Yungang.

He ran in the opposite direction.

- Take him. / - Yes, sir!

Let’s go.

I’ll distract them.

You can take the path there and go down.

Come with me. I won’t go alone.

Listen to me. If not, we’ll both die.

Yungang.

The soldiers are looking for me.

You’ll be safe.

Go back to the temple.

Sangchu and Jemi will be there.

Yeonha is there as well.

Stay with Yeonha.

If I go now,

I might not be able to see you again.

You might not come back to me forever.

Don’t worry. I’ll come back.

I’ll survive and come back to you for sure.

We won’t be separated ever again.

Yungang.

Please go.

Now!

It’s him!

That’s gunfire. Let’s go!

Yungang.

What are you talking about?

Park Yungang has disappeared?

I don’t know.

We searched the area where he fell,

but we couldn’t find him.

Don’t you think soldiers

from the Investigative Bureau took him?

No.

They couldn’t find him, either.

Didn’t you say there’s no way

that he could escape from there?

What a rat!

Where have you disappeared to again?

He’s not here, yet?

You haven’t heard anything?

No, he’s not here.

What happened? Why are you alone?

Where’s Yungang? What happened to him?

Sorry. I don’t know.

He told me to come here.

He said he’d be here, too.

We promised to meet here again.

Are you awake now?

Where am I?

[Gwangju Yusubu: an army base located in Gwangju] This is Gwangju Yusubu.

Why am I here?

Someone asked me to save you.

Who on earth?

He’ll come here.

Don’t get up until he gets here.

It was you, who saved my life again.

No, the Count of Geumryung saved you.

{Count of Geumryung : Park Yeonghyo] I just asked him for a favor.

The Count of Geumryung?

Yes, you’ve already met him.

The one who you saw just now.

He’s in charge of Gwangju Yusubu.

Why did he save me?

You’ll find out soon enough.

I want you to get better quickly.

No. I have to be somewhere.

I need to go to the capital.

Yeonha and Lady Suin are waiting for me.

Not now.

You know they’re looking all over for you.

Even the peddlers’ army lead by Choi Wonsin

has joined the search to find you.

I still have to let them know that I’m okay.

No need to hurry.

You’ll go there soon enough.

Please stay here for now.

There’s something that you have to do here.

Something that I have to do?

What is it?

If I tell you to stop everything now,

and live a normal life with me,

would it be too much to ask you?

Yungang.

Like you ordered,

we took Yamamoto to the Japanese Legation.

If we catch Park Yungang,

they promised that they’d never

bring this case up again.

What has happened to Park Yungang?

No one knows his whereabouts,

but the Investigative Bureau

and the Peddlers’ army are looking for him.

We should find him soon.

Thank you for your hard work, Minister Kim.

You flatter me, Your Grace.

I have something else to tell you though.

Kim Hogyeong, a former commander

of the Byeolgigun Army, is the perfect

candidate for the commander of Jwayeong.

[Jwayeong : a unit that defended the capital in the late Joseon]

Kim Hogyeong? Right. I remember him. He saved me during the coup.

Yes. He’s actually my son.

Is he?

He’s a bastard, but he’s smart and reliable.

I thought he could serve His Majesty

as the commander of Jwayeong.

That’s a great idea,

but that position is taken,

[Jeonyeong : a unit that defended the capital in the late Joseon]

so I’ll recommend him for a position in Jeonyeong.

Your grace is immeasurable.

I’ll go back to Japan for now.

When I come back to Joseon,

we can resume our business.

He said he’d go back to Japan for now,

and he’d resume business with you

when he returns to Joseon.

Yes, I’ll be waiting.

While I’m gone,

get rid of Park Yungang at all costs.

That way, I can come back to Joseon.

Don’t worry.

I’ll catch him myself,

no matter what happens.

We’re running out of time.

We have to go now.

Mr. Yamamoto is also

leaving Joseon like this.

Any news from the peddlers?

No one’s seen Park Yungang?

Not yet.

Don’t worry about it.

We’ll hear from them soon.

Park Yungang will eventually be caught.

By the way, Hogyeong will become

a military officer of Jeonyeong.

You should go and congratulate him

and make a connection with him.

He’s Minister Kim’s son after all.

I guess I should.

My father told me that you’d become

a military officer of Jeonyeong.

I came here to congratulate you,

but you seem pretty busy.

Yes, I still think it’s too big a position for me.

What are you talking about?

You’re the perfect candidate

for that position.

You could become

the commander of Jwayeong.

Since your father is Minister Kim,

it feels natural.

So, we meet again.

I heard you were busy

helping your father in the palace.

It’s been a while. How have you been?

We’ve been doing well.

Not as well as you though.

I heard that because of your father

you’re on a roll these days.

You’ve been preaching about

reforming this country all along,

and you’ve fallen back to where you were.

You betrayed us for your own glory.

I’m kind of ashamed of myself

for studying with you in the past.

Have a good life.

I don’t think your luck will last long though.

Do you know how much

I was worried about you?

Sorry. I’m so sorry, mother.

Because of Yungang,

you’ve been in so much trouble.

I can’t see you this way any longer.

I’ll find a good man for you.

Just get married.

What are you talking about?

You have no hope with Yungang.

You have to get on with your life.

He’s been a fugitive for so long,

and how much longer are you going to wait?

Mother, Yungang will come back.

He promised me that he would.

Nonsense!

I’ll go to a matchmaker tomorrow.

I can’t bear to see you this way anymore.

Mother.

Lady Suin.

Listen to your mother.

He was just cleared of the charges

of being a traitor,

now he’s being accused of murder.

Now that your father’s gone,

your mother has become so weak.

If you’re being stubborn like this,

she won’t be able to handle the stress.

I can’t marry a guy who I don’t even know.

Don’t think about it too much.

If you find a guy who cares for you,

you’ll be fine.

You’ll grow to love each other.

That’s how most people live.

You should live like that as well.

I know you’re the Black Gunman

of the Full Moon, who people respect so much.

Well...

This is the same thing.

We’re trying to create a new world

for the people of Joseon to have a better life.

A place where nobles can’t dream of going to.

Slaves will be free and

everybody will be equal.

To make that happen, I need your help.

I want you to teach what you know

about guns to the soldiers here.

We’re trying to form an elite group of

gunmen for the impending coup.

Good job,

but when you shoot a target

far away from you,

wind can affect the bullet a great deal.

You need to read the direction of the wind,

and learn how to sight your target.

Sight your target,

look at the front and control your breathing.

Don’t worry. I’ll come back.

I’ll survive and come back to you for sure.

We won’t be separated ever again.

Yungang, where are you?

Where are you?

We’re trying to create a new world

for the people of Joseon to have a better life.

A place where nobles can’t dream of going.

Slaves will be free and

everybody will be equal.

To make that happen, I need your help.

We have witnesses who saw the soldiers

of Gwangju Yusubu in the area on that day.

I wonder if they’re the one

who took Park Yungang.

Gwangju Yusubu is

where the Count of Geumryung is in charge.

Yes, that’s the home for the Reformists.

Right.

That actually makes sense.

Go.

Go see if Park Yungang is hiding there.

Yes, sir.

We don’t have time.

If you don’t want to do it,

I’ll have to find someone else.

I don’t know what to say at the moment.

A lot of things have happened recently,

and I haven’t had time to think.

But why a court lady?

I can still come and go freely in the palace

and do what I need to do.

Not enough.

We need to find out more about

what’s happening in the palace.

If you’re not a court lady, you can’t do that.

You need to be completely

dedicated to this job.

You can’t say anything about this to anyone.

I need to make sure of one thing.

Go ahead.

When this thing works out,

will the world change?

People who’ve been wrongfully charged

for something they have done

can clear their names?

Can people live in a world of justice where

no one’s a victim of a wrong accusation?

Of course.

If this thing works out,

Yungang won’t have to hide any more.

We’re going to make this world

where no one becomes a victim of authority.

We’ll create just laws

and everyone will be free and equal.

That’s the world that we want.

You want to be a court lady?

What are you talking about?

I must’ve misheard you.

Oh my... A court lady?

Do you even know what you’re getting into?

I want to work near His Majesty.

I’m sick of being sad while doing nothing.

I don’t want to have regrets.

I’ll go in the palace,

I’ll finish what father started.

I want to make things right.

No, you won’t. I won’t let you.

Your father was sacrificed

and I don’t want to lose you.

I don’t care about reforming this country.

Your life is more important to me.

If you want to be a court lady, kill me.

Okay. I’ll train the soldiers.

Are you sure?

Good. Thank you.

This is the kind of thing

you’ve dreamed of doing.

I’ll start when I come back from Hanyang.

I need to see Lady Suin and my sister.

I’ll come back after that.

Go ahead, but you have to be careful.

Soldiers are everywhere.

The palace?

We have nothing to secretly investigate now.

That’s why His Majesty asked me

to guard the palace.

I want you to come with me.

No.

I don’t want to protect His Majesty.

I’d rather protect Boksun,

our dog in the police bureau,

than protect His Majesty.

I feed her and clean up after her.

Hey.

I’d rather protect her than His Majesty.

You’ve seen what he’s done so far.

He deserted Yungang

and is siding with Choi Wonsin.

That’s enough.

I’m sure His Majesty is in enough agony.

I don’t think so.

Officer Han!

Anyway, I don’t want to.

You shouldn’t go, either. Please don’t go.

I’ve gotten an order.

Sir.

I have to follow it.

That’s all I know.

You’re dismissed.

If you don’t want to, I’ll go alone.

A court lady? Are you serious?

Is that true, Suin?

Yes, it’s true.

I’m going to serve Her Grace.

Why all of a sudden?

Why have you decided to do that?

I don’t care, even if you don’t understand.

I don’t even want to talk to you

about this matter.

Suin.

Please go. I have nothing more to say.

What about Yungang?

What are you going to do about Yungang?

Are you going to forget him?

Do you think you can forget him?

Yes, I should.

I’m going to be a court lady,

and I’ll forget him.

Just like that?

Your love for Yungang is

that easily forgettable?

What is it that you want to say?

If you were going to give him up so easily,

how come you never let me into your heart?

How come I was never

someone significant to you?

I thought of you as the brother I never had.

Now, I don’t think of you like that.

After you went back to Minister Kim,

you became someone

I’d never understand or like.

How could I let someone

like you into my heart?

I can’t even bear to look at you right now.

Never mind let you into my heart.

Suin.

If you’re done now, I have to go.

Take care of yourself.

Excuse me.

What happened to Yungang?

Is he dead or alive?

I don’t know. I’m so nervous.

By the way, what’s your real name?

You said you were from Joseon originally.

My real name?

People call me Sangchu, lettuce.

Sangchu?

I’m sorry.

Why Sangchu?

Isn’t Baechu, cabbage better?

Stop. There’s a story behind it.

It was Samchu, which means ‘three falls’.

My father sold me to gamble.

It was the fall just before the Full Moon.

My so called father told me that he’d come

and get me after 3 falls had passed

and he’d made enough money to buy me back.

People started calling me, Samchu,

and after a while it became Sangchu.

You weren’t born a slave, then.

Yet, I became one.

How sad!

Don’t cry.

It makes me so upset.

Jemi.

What are you doing?

I’m so upset.

People might see us.

It’s okay. The monks are all asleep.

Yeonha.

Yungang.

What happened?

I haven’t heard from you.

I’ve been worried sick.

I thought you’d just disappeared

or left for good.

I was so scared.

I’m not going anywhere without you.

Sir.

Boss!

Boss!

What happened?

How have you been?

How are you?

What? Suin is going to be a court lady?

I don’t know. She won’t tell me why.

She said she came to say

good-bye and went back.

She said she couldn’t come to see me.

You should go.

She said she’d go to the palace today.

Mother.

I’m leaving now.

Ma’am, Lady Suin is leaving now.

Please come out and see her off.

Go. Do whatever you want to do.

You’re not my daughter any more.

Don’t ever come back here.

Are you saying that the earth

goes around the sun in the sky?

Of course.

I guess there was a silly guy like you

in a place called Italy.

Yungang.

I’m okay.

As long as I can protect you,

I’m not afraid of anything.

Yungang.

Where do you think you’re going?

Is it true that

you’re going to be a court lady?

Are you sure you’re going to live

in the palace?

Yungang.

Don’t go. Why are you doing this?

If you decided to do this

because you thought I was gone,

I’m here right in front of you.

Please don’t go. Don’t become a court lady.

I’m glad you’re okay.

I knew you’d be okay.

Why? Why all of a sudden?

I’m doing it for you.

I’m doing it so we can be together

in the future.

That’s just nonsense.

You’re becoming a court lady for me

and to be with me?

I want to be with you in a better world.

We’re going to be apart for now.

Suin. Don’t go.

Don’t do anything you might regret.

I’m glad that I saw you before I left.

Don’t worry. We’ll meet again for sure.

Please take care of yourself until we do.

I’m sorry, Yungang.

I know you don’t understand me now,

but you’ll eventually understand

why I’m doing this.

I’m leaving for now

to stay with you forever later on.

We’ll meet again for sure.

When we meet again,

we’ll be happy together.

We’ll be living in a better world.

Suin.
