[Gunman in Joseon - The final episode]

Everyone!

Our lives belong to us now.

A new world has opened up.

A new world has opened up.

The world has a new beginning.

Nobles and slaves are equal in this new world.

Simply because he’s high born,

we had to do this to a little boy,

‘Hello, sir. How are you?’

We don’t have to do that anymore.

‘How dare you treat an adult like that,

you little brat?’

You can do this now.

Those corrupt officials who took everything

from us are now being punished.

And the rice you borrowed

from the government,

you don’t have to pay back.

You can just forget about it and move on.

People like us are the owners of Joseon.

We’re kings.

Guys, instead of staying here,

let’s go to Gyeongungung and celebrate.

Hurray! Hurray!

Let’s go.

What is it?

What’s going on?

Why is the Japanese army here?

They’re here to help us.

We agreed on it in advance.

In advance?

Have you been lying to us all along?

I didn’t lie to you, I was being prepared.

Sir!

I did it to make this coup work

and for a better future for Joseon.

Why did you bring foreign powers

into this matter,

which will decide the future of Joseon?

I told you that if we depend on Japan,

Japan will eventually try to control us.

That’s not going to happen.

They’re trying to support

Joseon's reformation.

They're trying to help us as their partner.

Don’t be ridiculous.

We don’t need any help from other countries.

How come you don’t listen

to people of Joseon?

If they find out that

we involved Japan in this,

they’ll turn their backs against us.

How come you don’t understand

that the reform that people don’t approve

will never succeed?

We’ve already halfway succeeded.

We can put those new policies into practice

with the new cabinet members.

It that’s the case, I’ll leave.

Yungang.

I don’t think I can help you anymore.

This isn’t what I really wanted.

What can we change in this world that

was made with the help of foreign powers?

Park Yungang!

The soldiers trust you more than me.

If you, their trainer, leaves them,

they’ll leave as well.

Is that what you want?

It was an unavoidable choice.

To stop the Qing army,

I had no other choice.

Try to have some leeway.

If we’re divided here, we’re done.

Our plan won’t work.

Please remain in your position.

Sir.

The Japanese Ambassador is going to move

His Majesty and Her Grace to Changdeokgung.

What are you talking about?

What's happening here?

Stop the palanquins.

What’s going on? Why all of a sudden?

Her Grace wants to go back

to Changdeokgung.

That’s why we’re moving her back there.

We can’t go back to Changdeokgung just yet.

We don’t have enough soldiers to guard

Changdeokgung at the moment.

Don’t worry. We’ll guard the palace.

Let’s follow them.

[Gwanmulheon : the smallest building in Changdeokgung] We should take him to Gwanmulheon.

That’s the smallest building in the palace,

and we should be okay there.

You didn’t know something

like this would happen?

I’m sorry. I didn’t see it coming.

Please help me.

If you leave now, we’ll lose more soldiers.

Until things settle down,

can you control the soldiers?

[Changdeokgung]

I came as soon as I heard you came back

to the palace.

We’ve been waiting for you.

I have something to give you.

Take it.

[Queen Min] Since you took a burdensome job,

I’m giving you this

as a token of my appreciation.

Your Grace, I’m sorry

but I have to check inside the box.

Your Grace is immeasurable.

When you go home, take it out

and leave it somewhere you can see it well.

It’s supposed to bring you good luck.

I will, Your Grace.

See him out.

Yes, Your Grace.

We’re good now.

Qing will send their army.

I hid a letter asking for support

from Qing in that box.

He’s a loyal subject. He’ll help us.

My Queen.

Your Majesty,

we can’t let them do this to us.

We shouldn’t give Joseon to those rebels.

Your Grace.

The news of the coup

has already spread outside the castle.

People know that the rebels are the ones

who hate Hyesang Gongguk.

Everybody’s saying that

they’re coming after you.

Send out notices.

Anyone who doesn’t express

their condolences to Hyewon’s death,

will end up dying.

If you decide to leave, I’ll follow you.

I don’t want to change the world

with the help of Japan.

I’m not a court lady

and you’re not a fugitive anymore.

Even if we leave now,

we won’t have any regrets.

I’d love to leave with you.

But if I stop now, nothing will change.

The things that we have achieved

will be wasted.

Like Mr. Kim Okgyun said,

I’ll stay until things settle down.

When I see the new laws are being executed,

I’ll leave without hesitation.

Okay.

Then I’ll wait until you finish your job.

I’ll stay with you.

Grandpa, what’s that?

This is...

Darn bastards!

How can they bring

the Japanese army into this?

I know.

Go to hell, you bastards!

Let’s go.

Your Grace.

Where are you going?

The Qing army should be arriving soon.

Your coup has failed.

What are you talking about?

A Qing army?

Then...

Your Grace.

Yungang.

Stop shooting and retreat immediately!

Everybody! Retreat!

What are you doing?

Why are you retreating?

We have orders from Japan.

I’m sorry but we’re leaving.

Can you please stay here and

prevent the soldiers from leaving their posts?

Follow me. Now!

Come with me.

I’m going to Gwanmulheon.

We’ll gather the soldiers guarding that place.

Let’s go.

Yes.

Yungang.

Get out of here quickly.

The Qing soldiers are coming.

What about you?

I have to command the soldiers here.

I need to be with them.

Go on.

Hide in Gwanmulheon now.

Go with Mr. Kim Okgyun and

the Count of Geumryung.

Okay.

Retreat...

Retreat!

This isn’t working.

Let me handle things here.

Why don’t you hide with Lady Suin?

No, Boss. I’ll fight with you to the end.

Listen to me. You’re not on your own.

You have a family to support.

You have Jemi and a baby in her stomach.

I told you that’s why I’m here.

I want to be a father

that my child is proud of.

I don’t want to be a coward

who runs all the time without fighting.

Sangchu.

Let me stay with you.

I was almost killed once in Japan,

and you saved my life.

If I’d died back then,

I wouldn’t have met Jemi

or I wouldn’t have a baby.

I’m going to stay.

It’s my destiny to stay with you to the end.

What happened to the soldiers?

They all fled.

The Qing soldiers are coming through

the Donhwamun Gate and the Seoninmun Gate.

And the North Gate as well.

Let’s get out of here before we all get killed.

Lady Suin is in the palace. I’ll go get her.

Sir!

Where are you going?

Yungang, come to Japan with me.

The Japanese Ambassador has agreed

to take us to Japan.

There are soldiers outside.

Those soldiers are relying on you.

How can you run while leaving them behind?

This coup has failed.

Let’s run now and plan for the future.

We don’t have time. Let’s go.

Sir!

Suin.

Let’s get out of here.

Let’s go.

That way!

Sangchu.

Are you okay?

This isn’t going to work.

Why don’t you get out of here with Suin?

I’ll be right behind you with Sangchu.

Suin, let’s go.

Yungang.

Yungang.

Let’s go.

Go, Boss. Leave me behind.

Don’t be silly.

If I leave you behind,

Jemi won’t forgive me.

If you stay here, we’ll all die.

I’m not going to make it. You should go.

We should get out of here.

Let’s hang in there.

Boss, I have a favor to ask you.

Can you name my child?

What are you talking about?

Something pretty, unlike my name.

If you name that child,

I think he or she will live a good life.

Okay.

Let’s think about it together

when we get out of here alive.

Sangchu.

You stay here. I’ll go get him.

Be careful, Hogyeong.

Sangchu!

Sangchu!

You can’t leave me like this.

What am I going to do?

Wake up! Wake up!

You wanted to live in a new world.

You wanted me to name your child.

Sangchu!

Sangchu!

We don’t have time. We have to go.

Sangchu!

Yungang! Now!

Sangchu!

Sangchu!

Sangchu!

Sangchu!

Sangchu!

It’s all over, Your Majesty.

We have to go to Suin’s place.

Since the coup has failed,

her family members will be arrested as well.

Let’s move your mother and

Jani somewhere safe.

Suin.

Lady Suin.

What do you mean? Leave the capital?

Sorry, mother.

I thought we’d made it

and I wanted to come back smiling.

But...

That’s okay. You’re still alive.

Thanks to you,

I was happy, even for a few days.

When I saw the notices on the wall,

I was happy to see the world you and

your father had dreamed of had come true.

Mother.

Go on. Don’t worry about me.

I’ll go to your uncle’s with Jani.

I’ll go to Qing or somewhere else

to learn about new things.

Don’t worry about me.

I’ll be okay wherever I’ll go.

Mother.

Please survive no matter what.

Come back to me when you’re safe.

Lady Suin, take good care of yourself.

I will.

That man is...

You don’t know him.

What the heck happened to Yungang?

I’m sure he’s still alive.

The coup has failed.

The rebels are being

pursued from everywhere.

What about Park Yungang?

I think he got away.

Bring me my gun.

I’ll go after Park Yungang myself.

I’ll end his life with my own hands.

Let’s go to the Heunginmun Gate.

We shouldn’t let him get out of the capital.

Yes, sir.

Don’t let anyone out until

we catch all the rebels.

Yes, sir.

This isn’t working.

There are soldiers everywhere.

There’s got to be a way. I’m sure of it.

Yungang. Over there.

That way.

There they are.

Suin.

Suin.

Suin, are you okay?

Get on my back. Now!

Now!

This way!

They’re in there.

Choi Wonsin, what’s going on?

I heard gun shots!

I’m pursuing Park Yungang,

the one who’s leading the coup.

Surround it.

I’ll go inside.

Okay.

- Surround it! / - Yes, sir.

We’re surrounded.

I think the soldiers are here as well.

Sorry. It’s all my fault.

I’ll go distract them.

No!

I’ll distract them.

You should take Suin and get out of here.

If there’s someone who should protect Suin,

it’s got to be you.

Hogyeong.

Go.

I have nothing more to lose.

My father and a new world.

I couldn’t protect either of them.

I came here to protect you two.

Leave this place to me...

Don’t be silly.

Let’s go.

Let’s get out of here together.

You know that’s not going to work.

Please take Suin with you.

And please make my dream come true.

I know it’s harder to survive than to die

under these circumstances.

But you two should survive.

That’d make me really happy.

Please.

Oh no! Oh no!

Seonggil!

This way. Come this way.

Let’s go.

Shoot him!

We’ve searched everywhere, but no luck.

Park Yungang!

Sir!

Jeonghun!

Follow me.

What’s going on?

It’s a royal order.

His Majesty ordered me to escort

this Japanese couple outside the castle.

Hurry. We haven’t got all day.

Okay.

- Open the gates. / - Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

You’re serving the king.

Not anymore.

You were right.

Protecting His Majesty isn’t the only way

to protect Joseon.

I guess you’ve been a bad influence on me.

Yungang.

Please survive.

Thank you, Jeonghun.

You should go now.

If we stay here too long,

all of us will be in danger.

Take care of yourselves.

Park Yungang!

Let me see.

I have to treat your wound, first.

It’ll hurt a lot.

Hang in there.

Do you think we can do this?

Do you think we can live long enough...

To repay the people who died for us?

We can.

I know it won’t be easy but

we have to survive for those who died for us.

How’s your wound?

It feels a lot better.

Where should we go now?

Let’s go to the temple.

Jemi and Yeonha are still there.

We should let them know we’re okay.

The soldiers came and took them all.

Even the monk.

Wait here.

The soldiers have already been here. It’s safe.

Then?

I’ll go get them.

Jemi, Yeonha and the monk.

Walk faster.

Yungang!

Are you okay?

Sir.

Why do you need that?

To protect the ladies.

With you.

Yungang.

Yeonha! Jemi!

Suin.

A gunman attacked the soldiers

who were escorting the slaves.

One of the slaves was Park Yungang’s sister.

That bastard!

Go find out where she was caught.

Now!

He wanted me to name your child.

He wanted to be a father

that he or she could be proud of

and to make a better world for the baby

and for you.

Park Yungang!

There they are!

Let’s hurry.

Park Yungang!

Where are you hiding now?

Come on out!

Park Yungang!

If not, I’ll kill you all.

I’ll find you even if I have to burn down

this entire mountain.

Park Yungang!

Yungang.

I don’t need anything.

I only want to take your life.

Park Yungang!

Come on out

Let’s finish this once and for all.

If you come out alone,

I’ll spare everybody else’s life.

Park Yungang!

No, Yungang. You can’t fall for that.

You can’t get out there alone.

You have to stay with us.

Yungang!

Sorry, Suin.

I have to break my promise

that I’d stay with you.

But it’s my fate to face him one on one.

This is the only way to end the deep-rooted

hostile ties between the two of us.

For the future which I will have with you,

I need to take care of him.

I don’t want you to

go through harsh times alone.

I’ll come back to be with you.

Yungang.

Please wait for me.

Yungang.

Don’t worry about me.

Yungang.

We’ll meet again.

Yungang.

I promise.

Yungang.

We’ll be reunited.

Yungang.

So, you’re here. Choi Wonsin.

Park Yungang.

Today,

you and I will end this once and for all.

Go ahead.

Shoot me. Now!

What are you afraid of?

Are you afraid of killing me?

I feel pity for your life.

You’ve wasted your entire life.

Cut the crap and kill me.

I don’t want your sympathy.

You were born at the wrong time

in the wrong place.

You’re a tragedy created by Joseon.

Shoot me!

What good is it killing you now?

I can’t make the dead come back

or turn back time.

I’m going to forgive you now.

I won’t waste my life hating you.

You’ll understand that

revenge will eventually

make you feel empty.

Sir.

Yungang!

[A few years later]

Help yourself.

Help yourself. If you need more, come back.

Thank you.

This is for the food. Is it enough?

It’s pretty.

You’re prettier in my eyes.

You’re like a pretty bride.

Don’t be silly.

Where are you going this time?

I’m going to Gobu.

The chief there is corrupt

and is causing misery to the farmers.

Be careful.

Don’t worry. I’m not alone.

I have my supporters who’re with me.

Let’s go.

We’re going to Gobu this time.

We’ll punish Jo Byeonggab, the head of Gobu,

and set those people in agony free.

Saenal, he’s the one who named you.

Sir! Sir!

It’s him. He’s here.

Who is he? Who are you talking about?

That guy,

the Black Gunman of the Full Moon,

who’s helping people.
