Episode 5
What's going on?
He's wearing my clothes!
That's him!
Damn.
He killed his own gang!
It wasn't me! I'm not with them!
- Seize the murderer! - Yes, Sir!
- I'm not guilty, so I won't let you take me. - Get him!
He's trying to escape! Let's go get him!
We can't go on like this. Young master, wait here.
I'll go to your clan and get some help.
- Search that area! - Yes, Sir!
No, let's find a place to hide...
We hired fake thieves, but real ones came.
I saw the one that was stabbed!
What do we do now?
What are you doing?
Since it's come this far, we might as well take some money to pass your exam!
A man has died! If we get caught, it's over!
Get caught? We have nothing to do with this.
Just keep your mouth shut and worry about your exam.
It was Gil Dong that did all of this.
But I don't think it was Gil Dong.
Who was that fellow who ran away after being stabbed?
He wasn't part of the gang!
In any case, now Gil Dong is a murderer.
If he is caught, he'll be executed.
Are you certain it was Gil Dong?
Yes, he killed his own members and escaped.
Fortunately, we reached the hideout and was able to retrieve the stolen possessions.
Please take a look, Your Excellency.
The sword! Was there a sword?
This was all there was.
If it's not there, then he must have taken it.
Find him! You must find Gil Dong!
And when you do, I want to see him first.
No one is to question him before I get there!
Yes, Sir!
Why would that boy take the Sa Yin Sword?
But if it wasn't him who took it...
We have finally found it.
- You are certain the prince escaped? - Yes, Madam.
He must be hiding somewhere. Our men are searching for him.
I am certain he is safe.
The day everything will be restored is not far away. He will not collapse so easily.
What exactly do you do, Young Master? How did you get hurt like this?
It's none of your business.
I thought Yongmun was a merchant clan, but were you a mercenary clan?
What about you?
Me? I'm Heo Yi Nok.
Let's take a look at your wounds first.
I'm alright.
Are you being chased by someone?
Did you fight with someone?
It looks like you were stabbed.
Did you commit a crime?
If you won't shut up, I'll kill you.
How can you threaten me after I've helped you!
Don't question or remember anything about me.
Don't worry! I'm stupid, so I won't remember you anyway!
From today, you're a stranger to me!
That's expensive! Why are you breaking my things?
Merchant Wang, are you sure Hong Gil Dong didn't come here?
Gil Dong isn't here!
If you've hidden him somewhere, then you'll pay with your life!
I haven't hidden him anywhere.
You...!
You! You!
If you see Gil Dong, report him immediately!
Alright, alright.
What's the matter with you anyway? Let's go!
You scared me!
I prevented them from getting you with my astonishing intelligence.
Leave before someone else sees you.
You bought a ticket with the money I gave you, right?
I gave them the money, but I don't know if you'll be able to board the ship safely.
The guards are going to be everywhere!
I have to try.
Did you... did you really do it?
I told you it wasn't me.
The theft was committed by Teuk Jae's gang.
Are you here for a drink? Drink up!
You don't know when your next drink will be.
They were wearing my clothes, so they planned to frame me from the beginning.
Were they so bitter towards me for being beaten up last time?
- That's why you killed...? - I said it wasn't me!
Then who was it?
I have to find out who it was.
This belongs to His Highness.
He must be injured.
He couldn't have gone far with his injuries. Search the area!
You...?
It's Heo Yi Nok.
It's for your fever. Leave it there.
What are you doing?
You've lost a lot of blood. I have to stop your bleeding.
I threatened your life with my sword.
Are you so courageous that you do not fear my sword?
Or are you really stupid?
Well, I was going to leave but you were alone.
I was afraid of your sword so I put it all the way over there.
And I'm not that stupid, so let me tend your wounds.
I have to mix it with spit so that it sticks better, so bear with it.
Did you really think I'll be that nice to someone who threatened to kill me?
Bear with it even if it hurts.
I put some medicinal herbs on the wound, so the bleeding should subside soon.
You said you were a medicine peddler, but do you really know what you're doing?
You knew I was a medicine peddler?
I don't remember telling you that.
How did you know that?
That means... you were really following me!
You thought I was following you because I liked you.
Well, I...
I don't know why you would think that. You're truly a strange girl.
You bought me a chamber pot and asked me to stay with you!
It's done!
You won't be able to move in your state.
I'll keep an eye out for you, so get some sleep.
You think I'm dangerous, but why are you helping me?
Haven't you thought that you would be in danger too if you were with me?
But you're hurt! It's not like we're strangers. How can I leave you behind?
A human being can't do that!
You are really a human being.
Everyone's a human being. Aren't you?
I... I'm not a human being.
Then does that make you a ghost?
Get some sleep!
Are you a Gangshi?
I can't believe you got the money to pass the exam in this situation.
Her Ladyship truly is amazing!
Careful what you say!
Why are you so jittery?
Should I have asked to meet him at home?
Do you want me to go alone?
I trusted someone else and look at the mess we're in!
But the guards are everywhere! What can possibly happen?
- Don't be so scared! - Who are you calling scared?
In any case, I have to pass the exam. That's the only way I can marry Miss Eun Hye.
Miss Eun Hye! Give me courage!
Eun Hye! Are you sleeping?
Father's going in!
Eun Hye!
I know you're not sleeping.
Let's have a talk.
Are you still angry with me for talking about marriage?
Don't be angry. Get up and take a look at this.
This is a luxury accessory for the China Dynasty.
At least take a look at it.
Eun Hye!
- My Lord! - Granny!
Where's Eun Hye? Where's my daughter!
This is from that table over there.
Will you sit with them?
Bye, darling!
- Did the guards come here too? - Of course.
They turned the whole place upside down.
It's not good for us if you're here.
Let me ask you one thing. Did Teuk Jae take any of my clothes here?
I don't know. I heard you killed all of them.
It wasn't me.
Then do you know who might have had a grudge against Teuk Jae?
There must have been so many!
Any recent trouble over money or fights with anyone?
- He had a fight with you. - Not me!
Wait!
Is Hong Gil Dong not here yet?
- I heard he comes here often. - Are you from the police?
He's not here! I told you the police so many times!
- What are you talking about? - You can ask me, but my answer is still the same!
- Hey you! - Oh Sir, sit right here!
My betrothed is here. If he recognizes me, I'll be in trouble.
My Lord, why don't we go where it's quiet?
No, it's better where it's noisy.
Everyone here hates Teuk Jae and his men.
I'm thankful that those guys are gone forever.
I said it wasn't me.
There are too many eyes here. Let's go somewhere quiet.
Hey, Kang Sueh!
This way, My Lord.
Damn it.
Hong Gil Dong?
You're... Seo Eun Hye?
What are you doing here?
This room will be perfect.
In here, please.
- If someone asks for me, bring him here. - Yes, My Lord.
Are you sure Eun Hye went to the brothel?
- I... I think so. - Oh my goodness!
Why in the world would she do such a thing?
Was she upset over my conversation with her regarding her marriage to In Hyung?
- Are we there yet? - Yes, yes!
- Why am I walking? I have my China palanquin! - You should have ridden it here.
You think I want to? It's because I don't want anyone to see me!
Oh my Eun Hye!
- Why is he so late? - I'm sure he'll be here soon.
Why...
Why... are...
Why... are... you...
Why... are... you... hiding?
Not...
Not... sure...
The...
The...same...
I'm glad to see you again.
I was startled. What's up with your outfit?
Why? Is it strange?
It's funny.
Fun...
- Are you sure they can be trusted? - Of course.
They received the top scores at last year's exams!
- But they're too expensive! - They're probably worth it!
It'll be too obvious if I get top results. I think average results would be better.
They're specialists, so they'll know what to do.
Alright. I'll pass for sure this time!
I'm going to marry Miss Eun Hye right after I pass the exams!
Fool.
All we need now is to settle this Gil Dong business.
Now that Teuk Jae and his men are dead, no one else knows that you are involved.
You're right. Gil Dong is being blamed for everything, so we're in the clear.
Wait. But what if he gets caught?
He'll deny everything!
Who is going to believe Gil Dong?
There's no evidence and no witnesses! If he gets caught, he'll be executed immediately!
No matter how hard Father tries, he won't be able to protect him.
Teuk Jae and his men didn't just take the money like they were supposed to!
Instead they stole everything, those bastards.
If I had caught them, I would have killed them myself!
What's wrong with you?
Gil Dong!
Was it you, My Lord?
- I... I just... - Did you do this?
Please don't kill me!
Please don't kill me, Gil Dong!
Guards, guards! Where are the guards!
It wasn't me! My mother made me do it!
I had to pass my exam! I had no choice!
- Did you kill Teuk Jae and his men too? - That wasn't me!
- I just asked them to steal the money! - Then who killed them?
I don't know either!
There was a man who was stabbed.
I saw him jump over the wall with a stomach wound.
He wasn't part of Teuk Jae's gang. I'm sure... I'm sure it was him.
It must have been him! I always knew it wasn't you!
If that is true, then tell the Minister that it wasn't me.
Gil Dong, please have mercy!
Father will kill me if he finds out!
You said you were going to China. Can't you just go?
Why did you frame me for theft when you knew I was leaving for China?
Did you... hate me so much?
I'm sorry.
Move aside! Gil Dong has His Lordship! My Lord, My Lord!
Don't do this. Go and tell them it wasn't me!
Younger brother!
Please have mercy on your older brother! Please, younger brother!
Thief! Thief! Someone help me!
Thief!
There! There! There he is!
You heard everything. Come with me.
Hold on tight!
- They're escaping! Get them! - Yes, Sir!
Come with me and tell my Father... I mean the Minister what you heard.
You heard it was for the money, right?
Let's go!
- I can't. - He won't believe me. Please.
Young Miss!
Young Miss?
Eun Hye!
That's my father.
Seize him!
Money! It's money!
What is the meaning of this?
He was with Hong Gil Dong!
How dare you!
I am the Second State Councilor, Seo Yoon Sup!
- Your Excellency! - Move aside!
Move aside!
Your Excellency. I looked at the bodies, and there is something odd.
- What is it? - Teuk Jae's gang were well-known thugs.
But they all died with one stroke.
They were all killed before they had time to react.
You mean it wasn't the work of just one man?
No matter how skilled he may have been, it is impossible for one man to have done this.
And this was found on Teuk Jae's body.
- This is...! - It's a detailed map of your study.
If Gil Dong was working with them,
they wouldn't have needed this.
Excellency!
- They found Gil Dong at the brothel! - Did they catch him?
No, he took your son's money and threw it to the people. We lost him in the commotion.
What do you mean? In Hyung's money?
Yes, Sir.
In Hyung?
Excellency, the heating is being fixed in your study and it'll be cold.
I've cleared the room inside, so please go there.
We were drinking the wine Madam sent us, and were in the backyard.
What was the money you took to the brothel?
Fa... father!
This was found on the thief's body.
Why does the handwriting look familiar to me?
Write something. I want to compare this with your handwriting.
- Forgive me, Father! - What have you done!
Excellency! It was me! Please forgive In Hyung!
You did this and framed Gil Dong for it?
You made an innocent boy...
...into a thief and a murderer?
- Spread out! - Yes, Sir!
- Search carefully! - Yes, Sir!
Eun Hye!
Why did you do this?
You are my only child. If you do this, I won't be able to live!
I'm sorry, Father.
Fine. You must be tired too. Get some rest and we'll talk tomorrow.
Granny. You know that medicine from China?
- Give one to Eun Hye to help her sleep. - Yes, Sir.
Please don't do this again. His Excellency almost collapsed today!
Granny.
He was badly hurt.
I saw both his body and his soul being badly hurt.
I feel so bad for him.
There really is no one in this world I can trust.
Well, there is no one in this world that trusts me either.
She said she would be on the lookout but look at her.
I looked at you because you looked pathetic!
You belong to the Yongmun Organization?
It looks like you were stabbed.
Did you commit a crime?
You've seen too much.
I'm not like you. That's why I can't let you live.
How can I leave you behind? A human being can't do that!
Don't get involved with me again. I don't want to hurt you.
I'm sure Yi Nok and my grandson-in-law are somewhere in Dosung.
Grandson-in-law?
A man and woman have spent the night together.
He's no longer Gil Dong, but my grandson-in-law.
Why are you forcefully connecting their destinies together?
One night makes all the difference.
Hong Gil Dong went berserk at his bitterness at being illegitimate and attacked his household!
He killed everyone that looked down on him.
He took money and gave it to people in the marketplace!
Does that make Hong Gil Dong a Robin Hood?
- Are you sure? - Yes, we all know Gil Dong!
No! That can't be!
I think something has happened to Gil Dong.
Let's go look for him together!
But I don't really know Mr. Hong Gil Dong.
- I'm not sure if... - Mr. Hong Gil Dong?
Grandson-in-law...?
Oh no, Yi Nok will be in danger if she's together with Mr. Hong Gil Dong.
She doesn't even know him that well. What if she's connected to him as well?
Yi Nok! Yi Nok!
- It wasn't Gil Dong! - They found him at the crime scene!
Gil Dong even told you it wasn't him! And you didn't believe him and kicked him out?
He doesn't have anywhere else to go!
But it'll put me in a difficult position!
Stop talking about Gil Dong and get out!
- Merchant Wang, you're mean! - I have nothing to do with this! Go!
Everybody! Merchant Wang isn't from China! He's from Jeolla Province!
- You're dead if I catch you! - You're from Jeolla?
She's crazy. Totally crazy.
If I hadn't met that Young Master, I would have been able to help Gil Dong.
And that stupid Young Master just left! He's so ungrateful!
I hope our Gil Dong is hiding somewhere.
Yes, I know that Gil Dong!
This fellow looked down on us for being thieves, but he robbed his own house!
His picture isn't that great.
He's cuter in person.
If he gets caught, he'll be executed. Shouldn't we help him?
We owe him.
If he needs help, he'll come to us. Did you find out about Yongmun?
As we suspected, it's not easy.
Whatever. We'll just rob them. A thief's best revenge is theft!
Yongmun... We'll rob you blind!
They have over a hundred men. A direct attack will be difficult.
We should keep watching them.
They have been entering the palace more than a dozen times a day for construction.
We should find a way to get in.
I heard the chief of the organization was a woman.
We should find a way to meet her in person.
Middle-aged women are my specialty!
If I can meet her, I can do something.
I'll make that woman do my every bidding!
This is the Sa Yin Sword inscribed by His Majesty.
This will be your reason for forging ahead.
What happened to the men who took this sword?
We have eliminated them.
So they're all dead.
We must tend your wound. Why won't you receive treatment?
It's only a knife wound. I am not dead.
Your Highness...!
It doesn't hurt. It can't hurt.
Not yet.
I won't run away. I can't! Not yet!
Teuk Jae's greatest enemy was the Yonggari gang. They sell women to brothels.
Are you Teuk Jae's enemy, the Yonggari gang?
Who are you?
- What did you do yesterday? - Save us! Please save us!
Shut up!
So you're here because you know what we did yesterday.
Get him!
None of them have a knife wound!
You're not them!
Thank you! Thank you!
- Gil Dong has shown up! Hurry! - Yes, Sir!
Gil Dong rescued the women being sold to brothels!
- Really? - Why?
Are you sure?
If you don't pay me my money, I'll cut off your foot!
The ones who had a worse relationship with Teuk Jae were the loan sharks, the Bulgong gang!
Hey, Bulgong! What were you the night before last night?
So you're here because you know what we did.
Kill him!
Thank you! Thank you!
- Gil Dong has shown up! Let's go! - Yes, Sir!
Gil Dong gave the loan sharks a severe beating!
- Again? - Really?
If you want to do business here, then pay us our fee!
Heuk Jae's real enemy is the Heukgu Gang.
Hey!
What did you do three nights ago?
Did you find out what we did three nights ago?
Get him!
Damn it. At this rate, it'll take forever.
Let's move quickly!
Gil Dong has removed the thugs from the marketplace!
Are you sure it's the same Gil Dong we know?
Is there another Gil Dong that knows how to fight like that?
This is the first time I have heard people say nice things about Gil Dong.
But he's being chased. Why is he doing these things?
My teachings have finally come to light. He has awakened to his true calling.
Please get that man! He's a pervert!
Did he have a knife wound?
Then what do I care?
What are you doing?
I'm writing a letter to Gil Dong asking him to meet me.
How will you find him?
If I put it next to his wanted poster, maybe he'll see it.
"Gil Dong, let's meet at Magoksa"
Why don't you just invite the police while you're at it?
That's right. Other people shouldn't know.
Only Gil Dong should be able to understand it.
"Location of emergency resuscitation" - Stupid girl
Maybe he didn't see it? Or maybe he saw it but isn't coming?
I should go.
Hey, stupid!
Gil Dong!
Calling your husband out in code... You used your brain this time.
Are... are you hurt? Have you been eating?
I'm hurt in many places. And I haven't eaten.
Where? Where were you hurt? Let's see!
Aren't you going to ask me anything else?
Aren't you going to ask me if I committed theft and murder?
But you... you didn't do it.
Right?
Y... yes. I didn't do it.
Is... is that where you're hurt? Oh, it looks painful!
Yes, it's very painful.
Gil Dong, stay here. I'll go get medicine and food.
Stay right here!
At least one person believes me.
Gil Dong, people may see you, so go and hide somewhere.
And when I go "bark, bark" then come out, alright?
Bark, bark?
Stupid girl.
I must never see her again.
It's healed already. Why are you putting medicine on it?
What if it gets infected?
- Is this the medicine you're selling? - No, it's not!
I got it from a real medicine shop.
And you call yourself a medicine peddler!
My medicine doesn't have any healing properties, but it doesn't do anything bad.
You're so shameless!
Hey, I'm not a complete con artist! I saved someone's life a few days ago!
How can I believe that a medicine peddler says?
- How did you get this wound anyway? - I was attacked.
Tighter!
Who framed you with this?
Do you have any suspects?
No.
Then what about going to see your father?
He's your father! He'll believe you.
Did you summon me?
Are you certain there was someone else other than the gang you hired?
Yes, I saw a man in black jumping over the wall to escape.
He had been stabbed.
I will cover up what you did.
Father!
But it does not mean I am forgiving you.
I am only doing this because I do not want to punish you at this critical time.
Yes, Father.
Then... what about Gil Dong...?
In order to cover up your actions...
Gil Dong will have to take the blame.
If I catch the ones who killed Teuk Jae and his men,
then he will believe that I am innocent.
That's right! Hong Gil Dong, cheer up!
But you know, there are strange rumors about you!
- That I'm a murderer? - No! You're now Hong Gil Dong the Hero!
- What? - It's so unlike you, isn't it?
This is the map of this year's civil examinations hall.
This is the site of the construction and where the weapons and ammunitions are being kept.
In case His Majesty decides to attend, the throne will be placed here.
The night before the exams, we will take the forces and hide them in the Mt. Ya.
- How are the men disguised as exam candidates? - We have chosen men based on their fighting skills.
Chi Su, you will lead them.
Everything is going as planned.
- Are we delivering materials to the villa again? - Yes.
- I will go along. - It is still too early for you to move around.
If we are to avoid mistakes, it is better for me to go in and take a look around.
The materials may be placed over there.
It has been too long. Everything looks different to me.
Your Highness!
Who are they?
They must be workers for the Royal Villa, Your Majesty.
Workers?
Are you here for the construction of the Royal Villa?
His Majesty is asking you a question!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Have you been to the palace before?
Yes.
Long time no see...
...Older Brother.
Have I seen that fellow before...?
Where would you have seen those unworthy men, Your Majesty?
He looks familiar.
It wasn't them. Let's go before the police comes.
Is your butt alright?
How do you know it wasn't them?
- He has a wound. - Wound? Where?
Don't get involved. Go your way!
- I'll help too! We fought tigers together! - You're a nuisance! Go away!
It's the Young Master! Why is he moving around? He's wounded!
Wounded? Where?
I thought he was a merchant, but I was wrong! A few days ago, he was stabbed!
Stabbed? When?
Was it about five days ago? Oh, that night! The night of the theft!
Where are you going? Wait for me!
- I think we are being followed. - I will see who it is.
Try and get them off our tail before the end of the road.
Why are you following me?
Where were you five nights ago?
So you won't answer me?
- Who are you? - I'm Hong Gil Dong!
---- ----
---- this ----.
If you really have to go, then I can go with you.
After all, we're friends!
If you hang out with me, you'll be in danger.
That's why I can't tell you to come with me.
When everything is ready, a green smoke will be lit.
Use that as a signal to move.
She's dangerous. I better get rid of her.
Do you guys still want to strike Yongmun?
Let's do it together. I want Yongmun too.
----!!! ----
