01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

Who are you?

Is your name Eon-nyeoni?

Yes.

And you met mounted bandits

while you were crossing the Duman River?

Is that how you lost your family?

You survived,

but your parents and your sibling

were slaughtered.

Does that unsettle you?

Answer me, kid.

Cat got your tongue?

Where are your manners?

I

I'm not a fussy kind of girl.

Please let me stay here for a few days.

Once I feel a little better,

I won't bother you, and I'll leave right

Stop it. You don't even mean that.

You look smarter than that.

Stop fooling yourself.

Come along now.

Every hardship

that's been thrown at you all your life

isn't your fault.

It's all our

it's all our fault.

We are the ones

who let Joseon fall to ruin

and let it get taken away from us.

A world in which you can only be rich

if you follow the Jappos.

A world in which you can only survive

by betraying your compatriots.

We are the ones who made this world.

So I always feel sorry.

I'm sorry we made the world what it is.

Sorry that we made you live in it.

Sorry that we made you

fight against it.

I don't believe

a whit of what you said about leaving.

Just settle down here.

You'll at least need

your compatriots by your side.

-Now that we don't have a country.

-Sir.

What do you mean, "sir"?

We are the only ones left

after our families were slaughtered.

So just call me "Father" from now on.

I'm telling you to depend on me

for the rest of your life.

I'll also consider you my daughter

and depend on you.

Eat until your belly

can't take it anymore.

No one will judge you for it.

SONG OF THE BANDITS

Did she come here to eat?

Why is she stuffing herself with potatoes?

I don't even care about that.

Just trust me.

If she tries anything funny,

I'll grab her by the collar and flip her.

I feel so much better now.

Gosh, that was too good.

Strange, I don't even like potatoes.

With all that robbing and whatnot,

no wonder you were starving.

If you had your fill, start talking.

Why are you here?

I'm not here to see you.

I'm here for Lee Yoon.

You don't have to worry about it.

Yoon is not here right now.

Seeing that you're here alone,

you must have lost everything.

The money and that girl.

Wow. Nothing gets past you, seriously!

You're right. I'm completely broke.

But if I don't find Lee Yoon,

I'll end up dead.

Really dead, okay?

So, Mr. Choong-soo,

let me stay until he comes

I can't let you do that.

Then you will try to k*ll Yoon again.

Wow, would you listen to this man?

Why are you taking his side?

You must have become pals.

I consider him family.

As I did with you.

Mr. Choong-soo,

you really shouldn't consider someone

like Lee Yoon as family.

It seems like

he didn't end up telling you.

Do you know what he did to you? He

Never mind.

I don't have time for this.

Let me just talk business.

I really have to k*ll Lee Yoon.

It's not like I want to k*ll him,

but if I let him be,

I'm going to be in trouble.

You never know what trouble you might face

if you go after Yoon.

But it's already clear.

What can an old man past his prime

and these small fry do?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Stop running your mouth and leave.

It would be better for you to do so.

I don't want to hurt you, you know.

What a joke.

Hey.

How dare you run your mouth, wench?

Stop.

What do you mean?

That girl is being so rude.

Stay where you are, you fool,

if you don't want to get shot.

What? With what g*n?

What?

Look below, you moron.

If you don't want holes in your body,

go back to the corner where you belong.

Let me pick up where we left off.

Why did Lee Yoon try to k*ll my client?

Were you behind it?

You did, didn't you?

Which means

it wouldn't have been for the money.

Was it because of her job, by any chance?

The Gando Line railroad thing?

If the railroad is built,

the Joseon people here will get hurt.

We should stop that, shouldn't we?

So you did it because you didn't want

the Joseon people to get hurt.

But Lee Yoon thinks differently.

What are you all surprised about?

Didn't you know? Lee Yoon let her live.

At that moment,

I honestly thought it was all over.

Considering their distance

and the time he had,

he could have shot her

four or five times at least.

But

he didn't.

So, Mr. Choong-soo,

if you're thinking of k*lling that woman,

Nam Hee-Shin,

if you must k*ll her to ensure

the safety and security of Taepyeong-dong,

don't trust Lee Yoon,

and take the matter into your own hands.

He won't ever be able to k*ll her.

Hey, you. Four-eyes.

You saw it on the train.

You, the dumb-looking one.

You saw it, too, right?

No, I didn't.

Hey, you're the ugly one.

Me

You. I'm talking to you.

Say something. You saw it too.

Wait, can't you talk? Is that

why you've been talking with your eyes

You f*cking b*tch!

Come here, you. I will rip your head

Stop, all of you!

Hand off your waist.

Take it off now!

A g*dd*mn axe?

Are you stuck in the 1500s?

Put it down. Right there.

Put your g*n down.

I think we have both said everything

we need to say at this point.

Forget about harming Yoon,

and hurry back to Hanseong.

I'm saying all this for you, Eon-nyeoni.

I can take care of myself,

so please mind your own business.

I've come too far

to go back to Gyeongseong now.

Anyway, I suggest finding Lee Yoon

as quickly as possible.

He might run away with that woman.

We were so young.

Both me

and Hee-shin.

Sir, we have obtained the whereabouts

of the carrier of the independence funds.

What? How did that happen?

A few days ago, some Joseon-born soldiers

in the Kwantung Army deserted.

They were all found dead at Jeongwoljin,

a light railway station.

But before they deserted,

they apparently left this message

to a Joseon-born officer

How long-winded is this going to be?

Should I take a nap

before you get to the point?

No, sir. I'll get to it.

"Independence funds of 200,000 won

will reach Changchun on September 5."

"This is Plan A. We also know Plan B."

"Jeongwoljin Light Railway Station,

ten ri southeast of Changchun."

"We'll take the money by pretending

to be independence fighters."

They apparently said as much

to their Joseon-born officer friend

before they deserted.

So what you're saying is

the deserted soldiers were k*lled

by the carrier that we are after,

and the carrier's party

is near Jeongwoljin right now.

Yes, sir.

Get the men ready.

We're going to Jeongwoljin.

You're up.

How do you feel?

Where are we?

It's a Daur village named Gwangmyeong.

They started settling in recently.

The villagers helped us out a lot.

But how long have I been here?

Three whole days.

Where are you going?

I wasted three days. I don't have time.

You can't travel in this state.

You should rest up.

No, I'm all right.

Miss.

Let go.

I need to find another way

to deliver the money on time.

I'll look into it.

Why don't you focus on getting well first?

No, I'll take care of it myself.

So mind your own business

from here on out.

Mr. Choong-soo!

We found Yoon!

Find him quickly.

Take me to Lee Yoon already.

There's a Daur village called Gwangmyeong

100 ri southeast of Jilin,

and he is there.

What about the girl?

Well, she's with him.

San-g*n saw them with his own eyes.

He was going to confront him and say,

"What's gotten into you?"

But he held back

because of what you said and stuff.

Anyway,

San-g*n and the boys are waiting there,

blocking the path, so they can't run

That's not even the problem.

The problem is what comes after that.

Do you think the boss

will just let us k*ll that girl?

What will you do if push comes to shove?

Lead the way.

I suppose Yoon is going through

quite a fateful encounter.

What's with him?

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Live long and prosper

Live long and prosper

I'm sorry.

I was overwhelmed by all those things

happening at once

and my emotions got the best of me.

My actions and thoughts were selfish,

so I apologize.

I am all right.

Think nothing of it.

But how can I do that?

I spoke so rudely to the person

who had saved my life.

I heard you cared for me

all day and all night for three days.

Who told you that I cared for you

all day and all night for three days?

The head of the village. Over there.

I felt like I was taking advantage

of their hospitality and

I couldn't seem to fall asleep.

I wasn't even tired for three whole days.

So I needed something to do, and

It wasn't necessarily because

I was worried about you, miss.

Um

there is a favor

I have been wanting to ask of you.

Well

Could you please stop

calling me "miss"?

Please don't call me "miss" from now on.

Just call me "Hee-shin."

While we're on the subject,

do you wanna try it?

Me?

Yes.

Here?

Go on.

I don't think I can do it right now.

If you can give me some time

How much?

Well

I don't know.

You should keep smiling.

It looks much better on you than frowning.

By the way,

if you ever become inclined

to tell me your name,

don't hesitate to do so.

I think you'd start calling me by my name

if I called you by yours first.

Damn, what should I do with that guy?

What's going on?

Let's move first.

-What on earth are you doing?

-Choraeng-yi.

Let's go.

Damn it!

Grit those teeth of yours, boss.

Geumsu, stop. She's

Shut your trap!

Move out of the way.

We're here to cut your ties to your fate.

It's a misunderstanding.

Move, you fool!

What are you doing, Grandpa?

You don't need to do that.

We can just take this girl and

Geumsu! Stop!

Come on, move your head.

We had it all wrong.

She's part of the Independence Army.

She disguised herself

as a government official

and came to deliver funds

to the North Route Army.

Do you really believe that?

We k*lled so many people

claiming to be independence fighters.

-She clearly lied to escape death

-Mr. Choong-soo!

Please calm down and trust me.

She is an independence fighter.

Their plan must succeed so we can protect

everyone who lives on this land.

Maybe that's what you want to believe

because your heart

is drawn to her!

That's

that's not what it is.

f*ck. It's the Japanese Army.

Cheon-man. Bring me my g*n.

Damn it.

I will explain later.

Don't come out until I come back. Okay?

Wait.

Be careful not to get hurt.

A Japanese officer is coming

to the 19th Division Command.

Apparently, he's bad-tempered and heinous.

He's cruel.

Despicable.

And vicious!

When he gets here,

all Joseon people in this area

will die.

I am Major Shohei Miura

of the 37th Infantry Regiment,

19th Division

of the Great Empire of Japan.

I'm here to arrest

a seditious Joseon person.

Therefore,

I need you all to cooperate

Lee Yoon?

What is this as*h*le doing here?

Do you know this as*h*le?

Who is it, sir?

Just someone.

He used to be my sl*ve.

How come you haven't changed a bit?

Fate seems to have brought us together.

Why don't we chat and catch up?

My client wanted me to tell you this

before I k*ll you.

"A dog dies

when it leaves its home."

We have a lot to talk about.

Wow, look at those eyes.

They're still the same.

Where should we talk?

Oh, that place looks good.

We don't need g*ns, right?

We're just going to talk.

Yoon,

if we fight them, we'll be wiped out.

You know that, right?

We have to avoid that.

Try not to cause any problems

until I come out.

Have our men check their firearms

and stand by.

No matter what you hear, stay calm.

Then are we putting the search operation

for the carrier on hold?

We have armed forces here,

so we'll be switching to scorched earth.

-Keep that in mind.

-Did you say scorched earth?

Listen to me carefully.

The signal is me walking out.

When I walk out

k*ll all of those b*stards.

What if those b*stards sh**t us first?

What if that leads to a problem?

Then we k*ll them all.

No matter how many of us die,

we won't stop k*lling

until every single one of them is dead.

What a small world.

Who'd have imagined I meet you here?

I worried so much about you, man.

I didn't know

if you were keeping yourself fed.

Now, tell me.

How have you been all this time?

Why won't you answer me?

I asked how you had been.

Do you not even

want to talk to me anymore?

Never mind.

Seeing how we met,

you were obviously doing well.

Anyway, who are those men outside?

What do they do?

They all look like they're bandits

or something.

They are bandits.

Bandits who take down Japanese soldiers.

You should watch out

if you want to stay alive.

They're crueler than they look.

Yoon.

Watch your mouth. Okay?

And don't forget who I am now.

Got it?

You should not forget where you are.

This isn't Gyeongseong.

No one will bat an eye here if you die.

I'm looking for someone delivering

independence funds here from Myeongjeong.

Is he

here?

There is no such person here. Leave.

He was shot at Jeongwoljin,

the secondary rendezvous spot.

And I heard that there was an outsider

in this village who had been shot.

Are you still going to lie?

Just hand him over to me.

I know he's here.

I told you he's not.

Just go.

Are you

the one receiving the independence funds

from the carrier?

Is that why you keep showing up?

Even on that train to Changchun?

Did you not hear me?

I told you I'm not part of it.

You're not?

Then why are you here

in the village

that the carrier is hiding in?

You said you were a bandit taking down

Japanese soldiers, you as*h*le.

You're not helping the rebels, are you?

Is this the kind of sh*t you've been doing

after you betrayed

your friend and country?

I have never betrayed

my country or my friend.

Because they were not mine to begin with.

I let you live as a decent human

and not die as a sl*ve,

and this is what I get.

That's the problem with you and Joseon.

I emancipated you.

Japan modernized Joseon.

We did everything we could for you,

so why are you complaining?

A lowly man and a lowly country

can do nothing

when they are on their own.

Where is he?

Don't move!

None of you move.

Damn, what the heck is going on?

We're all dead now. sh*t!

Talk now, or you'll die.

Where is that as*h*le?

You're not going to talk?

Fine.

I'll k*ll you first, then.

That's enough.

I'm sick and tired

of indulging your childish whims.

You're all going to die anyway.

You know my men are outside, right?

Sadao Minami. I bet you know who that is.

The head of the Hoeryŏng Garrison.

You must've heard that his entire unit,

including himself and seven officers,

was annihilated.

Who do you think did that?

Are you independence fighters?

No.

We're bandits.

You're the one who destroyed

the Hoeryŏng Garrison?

With that few men?

We're the detachment.

The main forces are elsewhere,

heading over here as we speak.

If you want to live,

take your men and leave right now.

This is the last present

that a sl*ve can offer his young master.

Do you think I buy that crap?

You should. It's the only way you'll live.

You know well that a Joseon-born officer

who fails his operation is shot to death.

They don't treat you the same way

as other Japanese majors.

Isn't that why

you're eager to show results?

Shut up, you son of a b*tch!

Don't get riled up. Think rationally.

Or you might get bitten

by the dog that left home.

We can't wait much longer! k*ll them all!

Hold your fire!

Wait until the major gives his order!

Ishida!

What are they yapping about?

They're going to k*ll us all.

What do we do?

What are you doing? Open fire, now!

k*ll them all!

Hold your fire!

Why won't you listen?

You son of a b*tch.

Come at us, you sons of b*tches!

Geumsu!

Calm down, you as*h*le.

We might all die.

This operation is over!

All troops, retreat!

Are you all right?

Stay here for a while.

I'll come back soon.

Did you not hear me?

Put your g*ns down!

Yes, sir!

Hey.

Why don't you put your g*ns down as well?

We agreed to pretend

we didn't see each other.

What did you say to him

to make them leave?

Did you give him some money?

Whoa, man.

He must be super crazy about money.

I don't get what is going on right now,

but we also need to talk.

Right.

Are we leaving just like this?

He used to be my sl*ve,

so I feel bad for him.

Oh, I see.

But, sir,

in the eyes of a Joseon-born,

this situation is quite wonderful,

but to the Japanese soldiers,

you're a traitor

who deserves to be beaten to death.

Do you really have a death wish?

I apologize, sir.

I'll never make that mistake again.

I won't k*ll him,

but I will make sure he dies,

so don't worry.

What would you mean by that?

Listen carefully to what I'm saying now.

The man who moved the independence funds

of 200,000 won from Myeongjeong

is here with Lee Yoon.

k*ll Lee Yoon and that as*h*le,

and bring the money to me.

That is all you have to do.

Major, who are you talking to right now?

Oh, are you talking to me?

Remember that you can only live

if you bring me Lee Yoon's head.

And next time, don't hide like a damn rat

and eavesdrop on me. Understand?

I'll pay you separately for the carrier,

so get it done right.

Who knows?

I might treat you like a human being

if you do.

Move out.

-Move out!

-Yes, sir!

What did you put in there?

A letter.

To the person receiving the money.

Things are getting

ridiculously complicated.

And that is why I have come to Gando.

Wait. So you're saying

that you're an independence fighter,

not an employee working for Japanese.

Come on, dude! What are you talking about?

Are you a dumbass or what?

She was working for the government,

then she quit

and joined the Independence Army.

You stupid a*s.

You jackass.

-Son of a b*tch.

-as*h*le.

What a bunch of idiots.

You think you can survive

in this harsh world with those dull heads?

Pay attention.

That girl joined the Independence Army

so she could work

at the Government-General.

Isn't that right?

It's exactly the opposite.

Hey. Why don't you just die?

Dude. Just die.

I went into the Government-General

for the sake of the independence movement.

Because working there would help me glean

high-level information about Japan.

I need a word.

So she's saying

that the Government-General

I don't get it.

Did those Jappos also come here

to capture her?

Yes. They were looking for the carrier

of the independence funds.

Then when did you find out

that she was an independence fighter?

Did you know

when you spared her on the train?

Are you hiding something from me?

When you were reminiscing

about your hometown,

my heart ached for a woman

whom I regretted not seeing

just once more before I left.

That's her.

She came all the way here to Gando

to get back the country we've lost.

I couldn't just turn away.

So, Mr. Choong-soo,

please let me keep my promise to her.

I'll keep our family safe from harm.

We need to get her

to the Independence Army safely

so that we can also live peacefully

in Gando.

My goodness.

I finally understand

where you're coming from.

I'm sorry.

But Yoon,

in our current situation,

it's not wise to get involved

with the Independence Army.

You know why my village in Gurye

was massacred all those years ago.

It was because I went around everywhere,

acting like a leader of a righteous army.

I tried to save a country beyond my means

and failed to save my family,

the most precious thing.

That's when I realized.

Every person holds capabilities

unique to them,

and I wasn't capable enough

to save my country.

They might swoop down

on Taepyeong-dong any day now.

So I'm going to choose family this time.

You live your life

so that you won't have any regrets.

I'll live mine

so that I won't have any regrets.

Let's get going.

Why are we the only ones leaving?

What about Yoon?

Just go, man.

Why don't you go to Seon-bok?

She has connections

with the Independence Army,

what with selling them g*ns and whatnot!

I'm afraid we have to begin

another journey.

I thought I sensed something behind me.

So it was you.

Have a seat.

You know, five years ago

I let Lee Yoon live.

That was the only time I did that

during the ten years of my career.

He said you had to be the one k*lling him.

No one else.

So I didn't k*ll him.

I thought it was only right

that I hand over his fate to you.

Are you blaming me right now

for not k*lling the boy

that you let live for me out of respect?

No.

It's not like that.

I'm just trying to tell you

the situation I'm in right now.

I have to k*ll Lee Yoon, no matter what.

And I have to k*ll Nam Hee-shin

on top of that now.

I'm really in for it.

So stop getting in my way

and take yourself out of this.

I'll k*ll them both and leave quietly,

like you said.

Do you think

you can k*ll Yoon?

I'm saying I will k*ll him for you

because I don't think you can do that.

Do you know what that as*h*le did to you?

If I tell you, you'll be so shocked

That's enough.

I know everything.

You know everything?

Then why didn't you k*ll him

What is wrong with you?

Why are you so dumb?

It's cold.

I bought your story because I was dumb

when you dared to lie about your parents.

Listen,

I'm sorry about that, but

What I'm most furious about right now

is that I couldn't say anything to Yoon

a few days ago.

I couldn't say a word when he asked me

whether we should k*ll you or not.

But Yoon said we should let you live.

The very man that you're trying to k*ll

with fire in your eyes

said we should let you live.

And yet you come here and say that?

Are you even human?

You're right.

I'm not human.

That's why I'm doing jobs like this.

Anyway,

I've said everything I needed to say,

so I'll get going.

Don't forget what I told you.

Do not get involved in this.

If you get in my face one more time

then I'm going to k*ll you too.

Do you understand?

Do you really have to do this?

Are you that worried about Lee Yoon?

You.

I'm worrying about you, Eon-nyeoni.

Yoon isn't one to be outwitted by you.

And

it's not right to cross swords

with a fellow compatriot.

Don't say that.

My mom and dad

died by the sword of a fellow compatriot.

You don't believe me.

Too bad.

You were the only person

who believed what I said.

Bye.

Take care

and be well.

This is a twisted world you live in.

Both you, Eon-nyeoni,

and Yoon.

Father!

Eon-nyeoni!

Don't come here!

Go back now!

Father, Mother

Father! Mother

Father, Mother!

You b*tch! I got you now!
