Episode 11
- We must not lose her! - Yes, sir!
Who are you?
Why are you helping me?
No one's here.
Are you sure it was Chungyi?
That's what I heard. It's Chungyi.
Let's spread out and find her.
Gil Dong!
Why are you here?
Gil Dong, the soldiers are coming! Run, quickly!
I told you not to look for me!
There's no time! I'll try to divert the soldiers, so you run that way!
You!
Are you going to die in my stead?
Why would I die? Do you know how fast I am?
I'm faster than you and faster than arrows!
So run away!
How can you be faster than arrows?
Stupid girl.
I don't hear anything now.
Do you think they're far from here?
I can't see. Move your hand...!
Who are you?
Do you know me?
Hey!
Chungyi ran away!
I know. She's safe.
But we have a problem.
Why are you running away?
Hey!
That's... that's Doe Eyes!
We can't be seen by her. We have to go!
Where did he go?
Hey!
Are you in here?
Why did you just leave like that?
Who are you?
Why did you help me?
Stop!
Do not come any closer, Young Miss.
I cannot reveal my identity due to reasons untold.
Then at least tell me your name.
What is the use of revealing my name,
when we are like two leaves flying by in the wind?
Let us just remember each other by our fragrances in the moonlight.
But I don't smell anything.
Do not come any closer and ignite the explosives of love in my heart.
But I don't have any fire on me.
The light in your eyes is enough to light any fire in a man's heart.
Now that the fire has been put out, I will bid you farewell like the wafting smoke.
Are you telling me to be like fire and go out?
Alright then. I'll go.
Farewell, Doe Eyes.
What did you just say?
I... I mean...
Do you know me?
No.
But didn't you just say, "Farewell, Doe Eyes"?
No, I said "Farewell, Goggle Eyes"
because you looked like you had bad eyesight.
So you may go.
In any case, thank you. I'll repay this favor in the future.
I am Heo Yi Nok. I sell medicine in front of Merchant Wang's store.
By the way, I have great eyesight! Don't worry about me!
He hasn't seen her in a year, and yet he can't say what he wants to her.
Wait!
I have a request.
Forgive me for sending you away without showing you my face.
But I cannot reveal myself to you.
But I know I will think about you.
Please take care of yourself.
I'm sorry for sending you away like this.
I will not be able to show myself to you.
But even so, I will always think about you.
I hope that you'll be safe.
Farewell...
Stupid girl.
Farewell, Young Miss.
Thank you so much for your concern.
It seems like you're doing some secret work, but I hope you're safe too.
He was a bit strange, but he was a good man.
How can you tell?
I'm not sure, but he smelled really nice.
If you thought he smelled nice, then he must have eaten chicken or dumplings.
It wasn't like that!
It was a nicer smell than dumplings!
It smelled like "I love you"!
Then maybe he ate both chicken and dumplings!
Anyway, I feel like I met a really nice person today.
So you met a mysterious man in a black hat under the moonlight...?
Then maybe his name is Sir Moonlight Black Hat?
Sir Moonlight Back Hat?
That's awesome!
Sir Moonlight Black Hat!
So you're saying that ship and warehouse both belong to Yongmun?
Yes.
I'm sure they moved all the girls to the ship by now.
If they both belong to Yongmun,
then did they just loan them to the loan sharks?
If they loaned it out to a dirty man,
then they must have had dirty business.
What should we do if Yongmun responds?
If Yongmun comes forward, then we should too.
We may have a fight on our hands.
But...
I don't think they will.
That is the explosives manufactured by Choi Chul Joo.
They are more powerful than the explosives from China.
If this deal with him succeeds,
then will we have unlimited access to these explosives?
Yes.
If we add the power of those explosives to our army and weapons,
we will not be lacking in the next attempt.
Is there a way we can obtain those explosives without Choi Chul Joo?
He is cautious of us as well.
We haven't been able to find his headquarters.
After the ship has left, we will send our men as we agreed.
Please do not concern yourself any longer about that ship.
You mean there is no evidence of any trade of weapons by Yongmun?
Yes. They have amassed great wealth by trading with China.
But they have never traded in weapons.
Alright.
But there was a small commotion involving Yongmun.
Although they weren't directly involved,
someone filed a report against the loan shark Choi Chul Joo,
who borrowed a warehouse from Yongmun.
Choi Chul Joo?
What kind of man is he?
He is a loan shark rumored to have a past as a bandit.
So Yongmun has business arrangements with such a man?
It's Yongmun.
It looks like a funeral procession.
Let's stand aside and let them pass.
The dead girl is said to have died while running away from Choi Chul Joo.
Oh, how terrible! How terrible!
They... they are one with the men that killed our daughter!
They're one with them!
- What do I do now? - Compose yourself!
Move along!
- No! - Will you kill my son too!
You evil men!
Sheath your swords!
Let's go!
- You evil wretches! - Are you alright?
My poor daughter!
What am I doing?
He wants to be the king,
but what is he doing?
You mean the one who's stopping the ship is Sir Moonlight Black Hat?
Yes, he's the one who helped both of us.
He's so cool!
So that's why he couldn't reveal his identity to me!
This is all secret, so please do not let on that you know.
I'll be on my way now.
Wait!
Take me to him!
I don't think just anyone can meet him.
In that case, please deliver a message for me.
She says she respects you, Sir Moonlight Black Hat.
You told her to not do anything, right?
Yes, but she said she wants to meet you.
She can't.
It won't be good to be involved with me.
We can't meet.
I really want to meet him again.
He seems like such a cool person!
If I knew it'll be like this,
I should have asked me for a business card!
So such a man existed?
He must be a true Joseon hero!
He disguises himself in the moonlight and rescued civilians in need!
I wish I could be like that too.
Then why don't you disguise yourself and go out in the moonlight?
How could I do that?
Why not?
You're a warrior who knows how to fight.
He's Sir Moonlight Black Hat.
You're...
Moonlight Warrior!
Moonlight Warrior?
Wow. That's not bad.
I'll be a warrior fighting against evil men like Sir Moonlight Black Hat!
I will not forgive you in the name of justice!
Moonlight Warrior!
Why don't you finish your bowl of rice in the name of hunger?
Alright.
Rice, I will finish you off in an instant!
Soup, you're with him! I'll destroy the both of you!
You are a true glutton of Joseon!
When I see him next, I will definitely get his name.
Your life is now at its lowest since you sold off your daughters.
If you are to lift yourself up from there, you must invoke your sense of pride!
If you really don't think you can make a difference, then you should just die!
If you're going to keep on living, then you must fight!
I have been there and picked myself up. He is right.
Let us pick ourselves from the pit and rise up together!
I forsook my own daughter and considered myself no less than an animal!
Thank you for helping us do something!
We'll do everything from this point on.
This is the promissory note that Choi Chul Joo wrote for me.
One day's interest is ten thousand yang. In ten days, he will owe a hundred thousand yang.
We will use his interest money and use it to buy back your daughters!
An eye for an eye! A tooth for a tooth!
He will try and set sail as soon as possible to minimize the interest payments.
Do whatever it takes to stop that ship.
Security is high.
There is only one way we can reach the ship.
We have to go underwater!
But if we do that, we may freeze!
I'm prepared to die!
If we make a hole in the ship, they will have to delay!
You're right. Here!
They made this for us to help us breathe underwater.
Young Sook!
Mother is going!
God of the Sea!
We are laying down our lives to save our daughter!
Please have mercy!
We... we made a hole in the ship!
It's our turn now!
Let's go!
What?
We can't leave today because of a hole in the ship?!
It will take at least a day to repair it.
As of today, you owe me forty thousand yang.
Goodness, awesome!
Increase security!
Seize any trespassers and torture them!
Yes, sir!
In Soon!
Next!
- Choon Dang! - Myung Shin!
The front has been fortified. Go for the back!
Alright!
What do we do?
It's fifty thousand yang already!
Your blood must be coursing the opposite way!
This interest business really kills you!
Look at how much weight you've lost!
Since the ship has not yet set sail, that Yi Nok must still be free.
Yes.
He is furious about his ship not setting sail.
If there are complications,
it will make things difficult for us too.
- Who is doing this? - I think they're going underwater.
If the river freezes, we cannot leave! Why can't we stop them?
They are attacking our guards.
This cannot be just the parents of the girls.
So who can it be...?
It couldn't be...?
It must be the parents who are preventing the Choi Chul Joo's ship from setting sail.
Someone must be helping them.
I heard that Choi Chul Joo is planning on seizing them tonight.
Will he kill the girls?
Can she not see me?
Or does she think I cannot see her?
She may be involved with the girls' parents.
If I don't do anything, she may fall into danger.
Did you just drop my merchandise?
It's dented here!
Pay me for it!
How much is it?
Don't, Young Master!
Weren't you looking at it because you wanted to buy it?
Well, not really...
Then?
Were you trying to avoid me?
Since you bought me this washbasin, I'll pay for our meal.
Go ahead and eat it, Young Master.
I bought one for you too.
Come and eat.
I'll wait outside for you.
I guess I have to eat this then.
Have you stopped going to the government offices and filing reports?
I stopped it because it was useless.
Then do you think stopping Choi Chul Joo's ship will be useful?
You can never tell a lie.
Young Master, are you...
...going to stop them?
They can't regain their daughters by stopping the ship.
The parents are doing something foolish because of their own guilt.
They're trying to protect their daughters!
Protect?
They were the ones that sold their daughters off.
Choi Chul Joo took them, but their parents were the ones that sold them.
They do not know how to protect.
It's not that they don't know how,
it's just that they're powerless.
I know, because I lost someone too.
I was too powerless to protect that person.
I couldn't go with that person either.
Do you know how painful that is?
You can say that because you're powerful and you've never lost anyone like that.
You're worse because you have the power but you won't use it!
You are the one that doesn't know how to protect.
When I was young and imprisoned in the Queen's palace with my mother,
I was fearful that I would lose her.
I pretended to be calm and comforted my mother,
... but I knew.
I knew that I wouldn't be able to protect her in the end.
I knew I would lose her,
because I was too young and powerless.
I was desperate to protect her.
But now...
You're worse because you have the power but you won't use it!
You are the one that doesn't know how to protect.
I have forgotten too much.
I have to go to China in this ship to pay you back.
So that's why you agreed to such a high interest.
Since my ship is not setting sail, you're the only one that's making money here.
Ten thousand yang a day.
Am I the only one that's benefitting from the ship not setting sail?
That is why I am going to put the bait out tonight.
If the bait is out and we put out the trap, the mice will be caught!
He's showing him the girls!
Does he suspect Gil Dong hyung?
He must have gone along with him to not arouse suspicion, but how infuriating!
We have to come out aggressively so that they will fear us.
But isn't this too much?
You know this business well, don't you?
Be gentle, won't you?
I'm scared I can't even look at them!
You will get your money only if the ship sets sail.
If you stand here, you will have a nice view of all the mice.
Throw them in!
Yes, sir!
Help us! Help us!
We'll send them into the water, so they can have them back!
Save us! Please help us!
What is it?
You want to help them?
If he does something, it's all over.
Then should he let them all die?
When he gives the signal, we go.
Please help us! Help us! I don't want to die!
Stop!
Young Master, why are you here again?
It will make things difficult for us,
if it's said that such a thing happened on our ship.
Stop this immediately.
I had no intention of throwing them in either.
I just wanted to see someone's reaction.
What a waste.
You missed an interesting spectacle.
That's alright.
Now it's Yongmun?
What if he recognizes Gil Dong?
This is getting complicated.
Still there's not too many of them to fight.
Since you're a merchant, you should know the Young Master of Yongmun.
Why don't you greet each other?
He is a ginseng merchant from Gaesong.
Oh, if Yongmun has ever traded in ginseng,
then you should know each other.
Are you acquainted with him?
Long time... no see.
Do you really know each other?
We did a deal together a long time ago.
Is that so?
If you know Yongmun,
then you must really be a merchant!
You wretched man! Did you doubt me?
No, of course not!
He must have signaled. Let's go!
They're bidding farewell to Choi Chul Joo!
They're even leaving together!
What? Did he not recognize Gil Dong?
I wonder if it was the hat?
Did he... did he help him?
Why is the Interior Minister asking to see you?
Yi Nok, you must never mention Gil Dong. If you do...
...you and I won't leave here alive!
- Excellency, they are here. - Bring them in.
I've heard that voice before...
So you saw girls being held captive in Yongmun's warehouse?
Was Yongmun aware of the intended use of the warehouse?
Do you know what the business deal was involving the loanshark and Yongmun?
I don't know that.
But Choi Chul Joo is the one that took the girls.
He was going to sell them in a foreign land, and they were going by ship.
Ship?
Then did Yongmun lend them the ship as well?
I don't know that either.
Alright, you may go.
Will you catch Choi Chul Joo?
He is a terrible loan shark that sells people like animals!
Can you please use your position and help those poor girls?
I will tell my officials to investigate Choi Chul Joo.
Thank you!
You are a person with integrity, I see.
What is your name?
I am Heo Yi Nok.
Yi Nok...?
What does it mean?
Happiness Yi and Blue Nok.
My grandfather gave me that name.
It's not a common name.
Yi Nok...
Where did I hear this voice before...?
It was that night!
She's dead.
Take the body.
Alright then. You may leave.
That's right. That voice!
But how could that be? Impossible!
Maybe I should have a look at his face.
You are a nicer person than I expected.
I shall take my leave then.
Lord Ryu's daughter was also named Yi Nok.
Lord Ryu was also upright...
...and had eyes like that girl.
I can't see!
I'm so proud of you for not making any mistakes.
He looks a lot like Gil Dong.
That's because he's his father!
How could he abandon his own son?
I heard you were dead, but I knew you were alive.
People think you're dead too, but look at how alive you are.
Were you the one that gathered the people to stop the ship?
I gathered the people,
but they were the ones that did everything.
Why should I jump into the freezing river?
Are you the one helping the families of the executed construction workers?
You must have watched them too.
What is your plan?
What do you want with Choi Chul Joo?
Why?
Will you help if you knew?
Seeing how you were the one that loaned him the ship and warehouse, you couldn't help me.
But you stopped the girls from being thrown over,
so you're not completely on his side.
What's with you?
Why? Will you help if you knew?
I can warn you so that you won't be stoned on the streets.
I put my faith in your heart when you gave up the Sa Yin Sword to save lives.
I won't ask for your help.
Just let the parents save their own daughters from Choi Chul Joo.
A man who wants to become king must know how to protect his people.
Your Highness.
I read about this condition called amnesia when I was in China.
I wish my Yi Nok would get that.
She must be troubled after having met Gil Dong's father.
It was he that separated them, so they must have be enemies by fate.
Perhaps that is the reason.
I wonder if that is why his voice sounds similar?
Who?
The man who killed her mother.
It's nothing.
If you hid it from her, then you should take it to the grave.
You know that, don't you?
Hide... hide what?
My rice is ready.
It's all ready. What about the stew?
Please wait a while longer.
In that case, I will roast the seaweed while I wait.
Can you boil this for me first? It's urgent.
How are you going in the freezing water, Mother?
Your wife is dead, so I have to go and save my granddaughter!
No, Mother!
Granny, we'll go for you. So just wait here.
Wait, we don't have to go in! Look, the river has frozen!
The river has frozen. The ship will not be able to set sail.
I am curious to what Hong Gil Dong will do now.
Now we disappear.
My ginseng...! Where is all my ginseng!
The merchant said that the interest now has exceeded
the price of the ginseng and took them away.
That thief!
That Choi Chul Joo will be hopping about in fury!
The ginseng is back safely with their owner?
They should have arrived at Mal Nyeo's by now.
My Lord.
This is your ginseng, sir.
How did you take my ginseng?
You wench! What kind of thief are you?
You don't want to know.
And here's the payment for borrowing them.
Go and find that ginseng merchant!
Yes, sir!
Sir!
Blind Man Shim is here to see you.
We are here for our money!
Are you all mad?
This is the promissory note for a hundred thousand yang you gave the ginseng merchant!
How.. did you get this?
Where... where is he?
He lost money gambling to me and gave me this instead.
Give us back our daughters in exchange of the money!
Give them back!
This is a scam! How can a blind man gamble?
He has conspired with that man to swindle me!
A blind man could not possibly have won a promissory note worth a hundred thousand yang.
If I prove that I can see, will that be enough?
Yes, prove it.
He can't even see his own daughter!
I can see her!
Chungyi! Chungyi!
Blind Man Shim!
Can you really see?
He has opened his eyes!
Chungyi!
Look!
My father can see me!
I have regained my eyesight because of my daughter's filial piety!
I won't release the girls so easily.
If the river is frozen, we'll break the ice!
Go to our storehouse and bring the explosives!
Then the police will come and it'll be over!
If we stay here, it'll be over!
Go and bring as many explosives as you can.
Yes, sir!
The Young Master was working with that wretch.
Go and get that girl he likes!
Yes, sir!
Break all the ice! Break them all!
What's wrong with him? I thought he was going to leave quietly!
He's blowing up explosives! We better go report this.
Choi Chul Joo has gone insane. He is using explosives to break the ice.
He's using explosives in a broad daylight?
Why does he have explosives?
Explosives?
Is that what Yongmun wanted from him?
He has gone insane.
How can he use explosives from our ship?
The police will come soon.
If he gets caught, we will also be in danger.
Then we have to take care of it before that happens.
What?
Explosives?
Yes, from the Yongmun ship going to China!
Let's go and take a look.
Explosives again? Isn't it going to be dangerous?
- Let's go! - Yes!
The ice is almost all broken. Let us set sail!
Yes, sir!
- Oh no! - We have to stop the ship!
Stop them from taking our daughters away!
Are they insane? Get rid of them! Now!
This big ship won't be stopped by them! Move the ship now!
- Yes sir! - Move the ship now!
An insane man will do anything.
Let's go to the harbor just in case.
Yongmun is here!
What is your intention?
Will you kill the parents to help Choi Chul Joo?
And what if we do?
Then we'll stop you.
But if you come forward to help them, they will be in danger.
Will you show the police that the parents are on the same side as bandits?
Then what about you?
The explosions will put you in a tough position too.
I'm sure you don't want to show the police that you are trading in explosives.
How do you feel about making another deal with me?
I will go to the harbor and stop Choi Chul Joo.
You... will stop the police.
How can this great ship be stopped by them?
The ship will be ruined at this rate!
- Cut the anchors off! - Yes!
Sir! Yongmun is coming!
What did you say?
I said clear the ship!
What about our deal?
You can't do this if you want what I have!
Our deal is over.
I will clear the ship for you!
- Get the girls! - Yes.
Yes, that's right. Now I can attack you.
The police will be here soon.
Do you think you will be unharmed in all of this?
I will silence you.
And someone else is stopping the police.
The police will have to cross this bridge to reach the harbor.
We'll stop them here.
What is this? Are we running errands for Yongmun?
And he gets to be cool by himself?
What do thieves know about being cool?
We're just doing what we can.
Who are you? Move aside!
Attack them!
Don't be pushed back! Attack!
If you kill me, your girl will die too.
What did you say?
If you want to save her, let this ship go!
What have you done to Yi Nok?
Where is she?!
Where is she? What's going on?
Tell me!
Ask Madam Noh...!
All the girls are off the ship. But she's not here.
You must leave before the police are here.
I'll take care of the rest.
Did you ask him to get rid of Yi Nok?
Did you?
Yes.
I did it for you.
What?
Choi Chul Joo ignited explosives on the harbor?
The police were there! It was chaos!
Do you think something happened to Hong Gil Dong?
I have to see him.
It's dangerous! What will you do?
I don't know! I don't know either!
But what if he's hurt?
The bridge to the harbor is closed?
Yes, someone is blocking it off!
Lower me!
All the girls are off the ship!
Then we've done here.
We're done! Let's go!
- Follow them! - Yes, sir!
Father! What are you doing here?
What's wrong?
Father...!
They've thrown smoke bombs everywhere!
Find them before they disappear!
Where do I start to search for her?
I'm sure she'll be fine.
She's alright.
I... I won't lose someone again.
Young Master!
Did you lose something?
What are you looking for?
I thought I lost you!
Young Master! What's wrong with you?
I... I don't want to lose you.
---- ----
----.
Choi Chul Joo has been taken care of.
Did you really do that?
That's great! Well done, Young Master!
This is the first time I've been hurt.
But...
It's alright because it was for you.
You're as impetuous as he said you were.
He?
Gil Dong!
It really is you...
Is it a dream?
----!!! ----
