Episode 17
- What's that? - That's opium!
- Opium? - What?
Before you can leave, we have to destroy this first.
There's a horse over there. Take him there!
Where did that arrow come from?
Was it Yongmun?
Yongmun is always ready!
Who was that who got shot by the arrow?
That will most likely be the prince.
The prince?
He was the one who was ordering the men at the brothel.
- Luckily the wound isn't deep. - Young Master, are you alright?
It's you... It's been a while.
I have to pull out the arrow. It's better if he faints.
Young Master!
Young Master, are you alright?
Something's wrong. His body feels really cold.
Maybe he's lost too much blood.
It's not because of that.
Damn it. The arrow was poisoned.
There was poison on the arrow that struck the prince?
Madam Noh ordered me to shoot the poisoned arrow at Hong Gil Dong.
But His Highness pushed him aside and jumped in front of the arrow.
- Where's the antidote? - Madam Noh has it.
Find the prince immediately. He will be with Hong Gil Dong.
- I'm going to go get the antidote. - There is a problem.
Madam Noh is with the Interior Minister right now.
I must interrogate all of Yongmun's men. Make preparations!
Why do you suspect Yongmun?
You saw yourself how Yongmun tried to catch Hwal Bin Dang!
But one of members of Hwal Bin Dang was a Yongmun employee!
My name is Heo Yi Nok.
It was a girl named Heo Yi Nok.
- She resigned from here a long time ago. - In any case...
People must know her. I will question everyone.
If you must, I will go and fetch them here one by one.
Madam Noh, you may not leave this place!
If you do not want to be a suspect yourself, stay here.
I have an urgent message for Madam Noh.
The Interior Minister has ordered all Yongmun staff to be investigated. You cannot enter.
Who shot the arrow? You must have seen him!
I won't blame you, so tell me! You'll die if you don't!
You won't be able to do anything even I tell you.
I am the one that was shot.
Was it Madam Noh?
Watch him. Don't let him lose consciousness.
Young Master...!
- Do you know Heo Yi Nok? - No, I don't.
- Are you sure? - I don't know her.
- Where is the antidote? - Only Madam Noh will know.
I will attack the soldiers and enter.
Then it's over for Yongmun. Just be patient.
The poison is spreading in the prince's body. We don't have time.
Young Master, don't lose consciousness! Look at me!
I'm looking at you.
Just wait a while longer. Gil Dong will bring the antidote.
What do we do? You're bleeding so much!
We were like this before.
You almost died then too!
I held a sword to you then.
That's alright. I asked you too many questions then.
I deserved it.
- I almost killed you while you were sleeping. - But you didn't.
I was going to kill you because I wasn't like you.
But in the end, I couldn't do it.
Actually, I knew it then.
I knew I could never harm you again.
It's because you are a good man!
I became one because you were with me.
And now look at the foolish thing I've done...
Come to think of it, this is all because of you.
It's all my fault! Don't waste your energy by talking so much!
Don't cry. I've always seen you smile.
I don't want you to cry because of me.
I'll be fine. I won't die so easily.
Of course you'll be fine. I'm really lucky, you know?
If you're with me, you'll be lucky too!
Alright. Then stay with me.
Stay with me so that I will become lucky too.
Alright, I'll stay with you!
You promised.
Young Master, are you alright?
Your body is so cold!
I can't let you be cold.
Just wait a while. You'll be fine soon.
You'll be fine!
You won't die!
You'll be fine.
The police are all over Yongmun headquarters. You'll have to fight them to get in.
Damn it. He'll die if I waste time fighting.
I have to get in quietly.
- What can I do? - Is there anyone that can enter easily?
It has to be someone who can enter and not be under suspicion.
Who goes there?
Hong Gil Dong!
I'm sorry, but I need your help.
- You came here for my help? - Yes.
- You really need me? - Yes, right now.
Alright. I'll help you.
Get dressed first.
Turn around.
- Don't look! - Hurry!
- We have not found the prince. - He may be at the mountain retreat.
There's no other way. We have to kill the Interior Minister and get the antidote.
- Do you know Heo Yi Nok's whereabouts? - No.
- Are you sure? - I really don't know.
Alright. You may leave.
Next.
There is no other way.
We must make a decision for what is most important.
We cannot allow him to continue.
- Are you sure you don't know her? - I don't know her.
Interior Minister!
Why don't you stop this?
Someone is here to see you.
You told us no one is to enter, but she was special.
You're Eun Hye.
What brings you here?
I am here to collect some medicine from Madam Noh.
You said you would deliver it to my house but you didn't so I came to collect it.
What medicine is this?
It is medicine to reduce cramps for women.
Please allow me to collect the medicine.
May I leave to fetch the medicine for Young Miss?
You may.
He must take the whole bottle.
Are you doing this for Hong Gil Dong?
If the prince comes to any harm,
Yongmun will do everything in its power
to take the lives of you, Hong Gil Dong, and your father.
I feel the same way. If you try to hurt Hong Gil Dong,
I will do everything in my power.
Antidote?
- I have a condition. - Condition?
What is it?
I'm on your side now. We're doing it together.
Acknowledge it.
If you don't, I'll pour this medicine out.
You brought me here to help you. Don't draw boundaries now.
Fine. I did it. I won't draw boundaries.
Young Master, wake up!
You can't fall asleep! Look at me!
Young Master, please look at me!
You're a special person, Young Master! Please don't die!
Please look at me!
Gil Dong! Young Master, Gil Dong is here now!
- He's the prince? - Give me the antidote.
Gil Dong, what if the poison has already spread?
It's not too late. He'll be fine.
Don't cry.
Stop scaring the stupid girl and wake up!
Don't lose consciousness!
Young Master, are you alright?
Don't cry...
Alright, I won't cry. I won't be lucky if I do.
I want to find Heo Yi Nok. I am not suspicious of you.
I apologize for assuming that you thought us to be working with your son.
Hong Gil Dong is undeniably your son, is he not?
Of course, an upright and righteous man such as yourself
would never use personal emotions in dealing with such matters.
If you are finished with your questioning, please dismiss the police.
Since you have targeted their chief, you may become their enemy.
I will leave the police here to guard your premises!
Thank you for your concern.
But we can take care of ourselves.
I am more concerned for the police who are constantly defeated by Hwal Bin Dang.
You should dismiss them and have them guard their own headquarters.
The police are searching the area. We have to leave here and get you treated.
When Yi Nok brings the others, let's go to the mountain hideout.
You can't move in your state. We're going to bring a palanquin.
We'll be seen.
It's better than carrying you on our backs.
If I go with you, you won't be under suspicion.
Why did you involve the Councilor's daughter?
I had to get her help in getting your antidote.
Even though you may not want it, she saved your life.
Eun Hye!
I know you're not sleeping.
Let's have a chat.
I couldn't bring up your wedding because something happened at the banquet.
Do you know who made that mess? It was that Hong Gil Dong!
He stupidly swept in and beat up the ambassador!
What a violent fellow he is! He's so scary!
So forget about him, and let's try and find a better match for you than In Hyung.
Eun Hye!
My Lord.
Where's Eun Hye?
She left with that fellow.
Thanks for your help, Young Miss.
- Let's go. - Where's Gil Dong?
He went to meet Madam Noh at Yongmun.
- Won't it be dangerous? She... - It'll be fine.
The prince is with us.
Are you blackmailing me with the prince?
The prince almost died of poison
because he refused to tell us that it was you that ordered the arrow to be shot.
But what do we do? I have lots to say, unlike him.
It is the palanquin of the Councilor's daughter.
Where are you going at this hour?
An urgent matter came up at my grandparents' house.
Is there a problem?
The city has been shut down due to thieves.
What do I have to do with that? Why do you stop me?
Do I have to bring my father here?
What is your name and position?
Please pass through.
Please forgive me for not having greeted you properly.
No need for that.
Today, you owe me your life, Your Highness.
You helped Hong Gil Dong. It had nothing to do with me.
I don't know why the prince has decided to risk his life for you,
but I do not need nor wish to hear what you have to say!
Are you hearing the prince then?
It doesn't seem like it at all.
How dare you speak about our relationship!
I know he's like a son to you.
And you're not only his loyal subject that saved you from the fire,
but also the mother he left behind.
You're that close. So why can't you have faith in him?
The world you fight against, is the world that must become his.
In the end, you will take control over the world that should be his.
I will destroy anyone that stands in his way!
Do you think he will be safe if he walks the path you've made for him?
If he continues down the path you've created, cutting down everything that stands in his way,
with only the reason that he is the only legitimate son of the late king,
can you guarantee that he will not become insane like the present king?
The prince's origins are different from the lowly origins of the present king!
He said he wanted to become a king that his people wanted.
If he knows what he has to protect as king, then I am no threat to him.
Look carefully at what you are trying to protect.
If you keep looking at the wrong thing,
you will cause his death like you did today.
Young Master, you saved Gil Dong's life.
Thank you.
You don't have to thank me.
I did it without thinking.
Don't be embarrassed.
You did good, Young Master!
If everyone looks me like you do, I wonder if I can do a good job.
If I can see clearly what I want to protect...
If I can become what others want me to be...
I won't have to fear losing...
I will be able to protect what's mine.
What do you want to protect so badly?
It's both my people...
... and one person.
Is that person... Gil Dong?
He's going to be working with me.
He's not someone I can protect.
I have no special feelings for him.
Honestly, I fear losing to him.
What's Gil Dong going to take from you?
You're the same as usual.
I wanted you to go away because you were so dumb.
But you didn't leave my mind...
I'm not going to try hard anymore.
I don't have any energy today, so I'll contend myself with seeing you.
I need to sleep now.
Forgive me. I'll leave now, so get some rest.
Stay with me.
You promised you would stay with me so that I would become lucky.
That... that was to make you want to live.
I could still die in my sleep.
Check on me to make sure I'm still alive.
Alright. I'll watch over you, so get some rest.
You're not going to send me back after I came all the way here?
You're not going to go anyway.
You finally get it.
- Why are you hurt? - I got beat up by a huge guy.
I didn't even get any attention because some guy got shot with an arrow!
He's sleeping. That's good.
Gil Dong's hurt too, but I didn't treat him.
It's not nice, but this is where you'll stay.
If you're going to order us to bring fire in or cut our clothes to make your bedding, go home.
I'm not that spoiled.
Do you acknowledge that you're a little spoiled?
I don't know what to say to you.
Just be honest like you are now.
Then to be honest, it's cold here.
Give me a warm cup of tea.
I don't know if we have tea.
If not, hot water is fine.
If not, cold water is alright too.
You've become down-to-earth instantly.
That's because I'm smart.
What's Gil Dong doing with Miss Eun Hye?
They've been together for so long!
It's warm!
This is the first time you've been nice to me.
I've become more honest, and you've become nicer.
It would have been better if we started out like this.
I'm sorry it's the first time, but think of it as the last.
For the first and last time, let's have a honest conversation.
I won't ask you why you helped, so return to your place.
- That was... - I was childish too.
In any case, you're my brother's betrothed.
I didn't like you because you overheard what my brother said to me behind the folding screen.
That's why I allowed you to continue showing your feelings to me.
I'm a really bad fellow.
Once you became a nuisance, I chased you away,
but when I needed you,
I went to you again.
Don't be played by a thief like me.
How will you sleep at night?
I knew.
I'm not stupid.
I knew you knew.
That's why I thought it wasn't a big deal.
But I didn't know you would come here.
It's not warm at all.
Rest tonight, but go home tomorrow.
Fine, I'll leave.
I can't leave my place and come here.
I'll bring you to me instead.
So that I can have you.
What will you do then?
Find out about Heo Yi Nok.
Find out her background, her family. Find her where she lived.
- Find out everything about her. - Yes, Your Excellency.
Stupid girl! How can you fall asleep?
You're really too much!
It hurts here, and my lips were bleeding profusely.
I hurt all over.
It really hurts! I have to get treatment immediately!
I need emergency care.
I'm alright now.
Weren't you close with that medicine peddler and his granddaughter?
- I'm not close to them at all! - Doesn't he come by here regularly?
He doesn't come here. That old man stole things from my store!
I'm looking for his granddaughter, so if you hear her news, come to the Interior Minister's house.
Alright.
How frustrating! How can he not know what this means?
I diverted him away from here, so you have to leave!
Why is the Interior Minister looking for Yi Nok?
Do you think he recognized her?
Let's go to the hideout!
Is this how their fates meet?
- Is that the tonic for the Young Master? - Yes.
I'll make one for you too, so be patient.
You were beaten up by that giant, but you didn't even get any attention.
Beaten up? I beat him up!
Being chief is tough. You can't even be in pain.
I respect you!
Respect?
I don't like the sound of that.
I'll make your tonic soon, so wait.
Forget it!
Give it all to the prince.
I took another kind of medicine. It's good stuff, and I'm cured now.
What medicine? If it's that good, give some to the Young Master too.
No! Absolutely not! It's mine!
Stupid girl!
What's wrong with him?
The prince and Hong Gil Dong beat up the ambassador from China?
The prince acted in person.
He didn't show his face, but he appeared before the ministers.
Those two must really be getting along!
Why else would he risk his life for a lowly slave?
But those two will not be able to last for long.
The prince can only claim the throne if he can prove his legitimacy to the nobles.
Hong Gil Dong fights those same nobles. They cannot be together for long.
The day will come when one of them will betray the other.
Perhaps the prince will betray him first?
Or will Hong Gil Dong strike the prince first?
So he was wounded here?
Not here or here?
That's too bad. Who shot the arrow anyway?
Why couldn't he have aimed properly?
I know you saved me without thinking.
Even though I did it without forethought, I have gained something.
You can never betray me.
You're so sure of yourself.
Yes. I've gained you forever.
You've got it wrong again.
I gained someone who would risk his life for me.
- Then let's say we've gained each other. - Something's fishy.
This is really embarrassing. Gained each other?
- Go home! - I was on my way.
Be well while you're here.
I'm going to be here forever.
Really? Didn't your grandfather say anything?
Say what?
Nothing. He must not have found anything yet.
I should meet him.
You have business with my grandfather? Do you buy medicine from him?
Yes, your grandfather has something that can cure my headache.
- Tell him to come and see me. - Alright. He has some good medicine.
Please give him a good price.
Yes, a very high price will be paid.
Master! Please walk faster!
For some reason, I feel like walking slowly today.
Then I'll go first.
Wait!
I'm hungry. Shall we have something to eat?
Let's eat at the hideout!
For some reason, I feel like eating outside.
Why don't you make some soup?
What about pollack soup?
What's the matter with you?
I want to earn some time.
Your men are waiting for you.
- Have a safe journey. - Don't come to Yongmun again.
Alright. I won't go.
I'll come here to see you.
You said you have to be with him.
But now that I've decided to work with him, you and I will be together as well.
Oh that's right! We're going to be together too!
Yes, so don't forget that I'm beside you too.
Thank you for telling me I'm special.
I will be able to last a while because of those words.
I'll be leaving now. Take care.
That's strange. Why do I feel bad for the prince?
Did I do something wrong?
No need to be so worried. I'm alright.
But promise you will never do anything without my permission. Promise me.
Then promise me one thing too.
Promise me you will never risk your life again.
- I did not have time to think. - How could you forget?
Your loyal subjects have died for you, and are risking their lives for you!
The late king and Dowager Queen are behind you! The people are behind you!
How could you forget that and risk yourself in that way?
I didn't forget anything. I wanted to protect them!
Just like my father's Sa Yin sword will be my weapon against my enemies,
Hong Gil Dong is also my means to gain the people's love and trust.
I want to use that as my cause, not some inscription on a sword.
I will never act without your permission again.
I will wait for you to let him go.
I won't let go of him. I won't.
If I think about how they aimed at you, I want to throw double explosives at them!
But I'm stopping myself since he saved you.
I can't believe the prince stepped in front of that arrow.
He's different from the other nobles.
He seems like a great man.
If a man like that becomes king, will the world change?
Do you have faith in him?
If he has faith in us, then we have to have faith in him.
Everyone! Come here!
Hong Gil Dong felled a giant from China with one punch!
- I heard he's as a big as a house! - He's bigger than a hill!
And I heard that the prince is behind him!
If that prince is supported by Hwal Bin Dang, then maybe he will help the people!
The prince is gaining popularity amongst the people because he is working with Hwal Bin Dang.
But the reverse is true with the nobles.
How can the legitimate prince join forces with a bastard thief?
I can't believe it.
That Hong Gil Dong must be captured soon.
Miss Eun Hye, if I catch him and he is executed...
Will you take me?
You don't care if he dies?
You're the same as before.
You said everything would be alright
if he was killed when you framed him for theft.
That day was the day I fell in love with him.
You called him brother and hurt him.
Then you wounded him and ran away.
How do you know that...?
I've seen everything.
My heart will never go to you.
I will capture him.
And I will capture your heart.
Do I look like that too?
I'll kill you, Hong Gil Dong!
Work hard!
You're Mr. Mang's son! Is your father well?
Good.
The name is getting popular and the people are gathering!
And now that the people are gathering, the hideout is getting bigger.
There are more legends about you circulating in the marketplace.
What's this about magic and cloning myself? Am I some kind of ghost?
Who started that nonsense anyway?
- Someone named Gyoon Saeng Joon Jae Cham! - Who's that?
In any case, when a nobleman's dog runs away, they say you ate him.
When a child gets beaten in school, they say you did it.
They're even saying that you did it when a ghost kills someone.
A ghost killed someone?
You'll have to be more careful.
Besides, now you're working with the prince.
So why are they saying this about me and not the prince?
Because you're easier!
You're closer to the people than the prince.
He got shot with an arrow and made my life more complicated.
- Who is that? - Magistrate!
Who is that?
Magistrate!
Another nobleman died last night!
- Was it really a ghost? - This makes three!
Could it be Hong Gil Dong?
I suppose it could Hong Gil Dong who was getting rid of these nobles.
I will now use the Sa Yin sword to get support from the Confucian scholars.
It is not good for Hwal Bin Dang to be blamed for the deaths of the nobles.
I will investigate the matter.
We can solve the problems that arise when we work together.
Even though the Young Master told me not to come, he must be hurt that I really didn't.
He said I was the only one he felt comfortable with.
But I was too clueless.
People are saying that the ghost that's killing the nobles is from Hwal Bin Dang.
Maybe the police spread the rumor to get you.
Ghost, my butt. I'll find out who's behind this.
I'll go see the brothel that man used to frequent.
If you find out who the man is, you'll find who killed him.
It's better if I find my Eun Hye's match first.
Then you should go to the Academy. Why are you at a brothel?
The men aren't good there.
I think Eun Hye likes good-looking men. What else does that thief except looks?
- That's what she fell for. - I don't think that's...
Of course it is!
Granny, if you see anyone that looks like him, tell me.
What the hell am I doing here with you, Granny?
Maybe I should try a different brothel?
That's...!
He looks alright.
There are plenty of noblemen's sons that are good-looking like that.
Why did Eun Hye have to like that...!
I bought the cloth from China and had this made.
Luxury goods sure are different!
- How dare you! - Forgive me.
It's dirty.
Let's go!
That's him. I take his life tonight.
That dead nobleman has many enemies.
He used to brag about how many enemies he had!
Tell me everything you know.
He used to say that he took a lot of money when he was a magistrate.
And?
How dare you run away!
How dare you laugh at me, you lowly wench!
Forgive me, My Lord! All I did was laugh!
How dare you mock me, you whore?
- How dare you laugh at me! - Forgive me!
How dare you!
There he goes again.
He's the son of a great family. Don't make trouble with him.
I know. What a nuisance.
You lowly wench! How dare you!
- Who are you? - Me? You'll soon find out.
Are you alright?
It'll be embarrassing for you noblemen to go out like that.
And it'll be embarrassing for you to admit you were beaten up by me.
Let's see...
- Why are you doing this to us fellow noblemen? - Don't call me your fellow.
Then what are you?
Nowadays, everyone claims to have been beaten up by Hwal Bin Dang.
Think of me as Hwal Bin Dang.
How can they all be so ugly...?
That...!
Come here! Who is that young man?
I'm not sure.
That's him! That's him!
He looks like that thief! He's Eun Hye's style!
He's perfect. Oh, my son-in-law!
What's that?
Is it after me?
Who was that? Is it those men?
It's following me.
It's like a ghost.
They are not one.
What's this?
- Are you really ghosts? - We are here to take your life.
Damn it! They're scary!
---- ----
----
---- this ----.
They're framing Hwal Bin Dang!
- You've come all the way here? - Oh, Miss Eun Hye!
Medicine? Can I really take this money?
Gil Dong went to meet women?
I'm going to use the Sa Yin sword to gather the support of the Confucian scholars.
They are the murderers of Minister Park. Hwal Bin Dang may be there.
Do you want to save us? We're sorry.
----!!! ----
