Original subtitles

Who is that woman?

Why does it hurt

to look at her?

Wol-ryeong.

Wol-ryeong.

Wol-ryeong?

Wol-ryeong.

Is that you?

Who are you?

Do you

know me?

Wol-ryeong.

You can't.

Kang-chi.

Don't kill

anyone else.

I won't let you do that.

I will...

stop you,

Wol-ryeong.

Stop it.

I know you're in pain.

I know this isn't the real you.

I also know that

I'm the only one

who can stop you.

I will

help you stop it.

I will help you,

so you can stop this.

No, Wol-ryeong!

No.

Please don't.

He's your child.

He's our son.

Please don't.

Kang-chi.

No!

You're very good.

I used to be a military officer, you know.

Kang-chi.

Damn it.

Kang-chi!

Kang-chi.

Kang-chi.

Kang-chi.

This will never end. We should run for now.

Get them!

Kang-chi.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Don't worry, Mother.

Kang-chi.

Kang-chi!

Kang-chi!

What happened?

Yeo-ul.

Do something, Gon. Hurry!

Hang on.

It's okay, Kang-chi. Hang on.

It's almost finished. Hang on. Just a bit more.

Good work, Gon.

TRAINING CENTER

What? All of them?

Yes, sir.

What about Koo Wol-ryeong?

Did you lose him?

I just sent six men to look for him in the woods.

As soon as we find something, we'll let you know.

Damn it.

It's Jae-ryeong.

Come in.

We have a problem.

What is it, now?

Our men have lost Lady Miyamoto.

What now?

You said you would take care of it.

I think Choi Kang-chi and his friends showed up and took her.

What?

Are you saying he took Seo-hwa?

They're probably at the training center.

That's not the problem!

Behind them, there's the commander, Yi Sun-shin!

Do you still not know what that means?

Damn it!

TRAINING CENTER

Lady Miyamoto is here?

Yes, sir. She's waiting for you inside with Master Dam.

She's my mother, sir.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Ja Hong-myeong, the leader of the Miyamoto Merchants.

I'm Yi Sun-shin.

I was told you have something to tell me.

Kang-chi, please leave us for a minute.

Please. Will you?

Okay then.

Please sit down.

Is the meeting over.

Why are you alone? What about your mother?

I think she has a lot to tell the commander.

She told me to leave first.

It wasn't me!

Then who...

It was...

my stomach.

Here you go!

-It's chicken! -It looks delicious!

All right. Help yourselves.

Thank you, sir!

Since you're young, you should eat a lot after doing hard work.

You're absolutely right.

All right. For the hungriest person...

-Here. -I'm okay. You eat it.

You bled a lot earlier.

Have this as well.

Hey, I'm fine. You eat it.

I'm fine. You eat it.

I'm really okay. You're the hungry one.

-I'm really okay. -Seriously, I'm fine.

I'm not hungry.

-You eat it. -You eat it, Yeo-ul.

Then...

Since none of you want to eat it, I'll eat it.

The chicken leg...

Thank you for the food.

Okay. Then I'll have the wing.

Hey!

Women can't eat the wing.

No. Eat the breast part.

-I want to eat this part! -Don't eat the wing.

-Eat the red ginseng. Give it back! -No!

-I want the wing! -Hey!

Eating wings has a bad meaning. Don't eat it.

-Eat that. -How dare you!

-Hey. Yeo-ul! -You eat the ginseng.

Being young is great.

Eat the other one.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi

will definitely invade Joseon.

I...

think so too.

But what I'm worried about right now

isn't the foreign enemy.

It's the enemy within.

Cho Gwan-ung has been receiving money from the Miyamotos in the last 20 years,

and he has been increasing his political power in Joseon.

The financial and political influence of the Miyamotos

on the authorities of Joseon is deeper and more widespread than you may think.

So,

what is it that you would like to tell me?

There are 11 officials in the Southern province

who are secretly being paid by the Miyamotos.

I know all of their names.

I will give you that list, but...

I need you to do me a favor.

Tae-seo, are you leaving?

Yes.

Why don't you leave the Century House now?

Isn't it dangerous for you to stay there alone?

As long as the Miyamoto Merchants are here,

I need to keep observing the situation there.

If things are about to get dangerous, let me know through my father.

No matter what happens, I promise I'll come and help you.

What's that?

What? Oh, this?

Madam Cheon, who has the orchid sign, gave me this assignment.

She told me to bring a house that was built using this tree.

Do you have any idea what that is, by any chance?

First off, to build a house using the tree,

you should cut the tree from the bottom.

What?

What do you see?

Now,

it's bon, which means "root."

Is this about the essence again?

One cannot say he knows himself without knowing his roots.

I think when you find your roots,

you'll appreciate your existence more.

I think that's the main theme of this assignment.

I see.

My roots.

You can stay here.

From today,

you should sleep comfortably instead of sitting down.

How are your wounds?

Since I'm half-creature,

they heal quickly.

I see.

Your mother

hasn't been doing so well,

but you

have grown up very well.

Do you

really think so?

Yes.

So, I'm very proud of you.

Thank you.

That's good to hear.

It's good to hear that you're proud of me.

To be honest,

I went back to look for you.

As soon as I came to my senses,

I went to look for you at the Garden of the Moonlight,

but the mountain didn't open up a path for me.

I spent days looking for you.

I was wandering the woods, looking for you.

But I still wasn't able to find you.

I didn't mean to abandon you, Kang-chi.

In my life, not a day went by

without thinking of you.

I see.

Mother.

Having a mother must be great.

Children and parents have a strange relationship, don't you think?

No one in the world can torment parents more than their children.

But no one can make children sadder than their parents do.

Were you ever sad because of your father?

Every time he treats Kang-chi quite harshly,

I get a bit sad.

My father is especially cold to Kang-chi.

I understand him though.

He was told that you two should have never met,

and that one of you could die.

It would be weird if he wasn't afraid, don't you think?

I'm not afraid of the things that haven't even happened yet.

What is the future anyway?

It's made up of present moments.

But if we change what we're doing today for that so-called future,

our lives right now would be meaningless.

Speaking of which, I'd like to do some training right now.

What do you say?

Sir, it's urgent news.

The people of Gunjeong Village have been massacred.

Sir!

Everyone in the Hakbong-ri and Yeongdae-ri area has been killed.

Please have mercy.

Have mercy!

What?

Wol-ryeong?

Yes, sir.

He's killing villagers right now.

He's already destroyed Gunjeong, Hakbong-ri,

and Yeongdae-ri.

He's already come to Yeongdae-ri?

Then next is...

The Century House.

At this rate, he'll be here by one or two in the afternoon.

Officer Jung, go and tell Governor Jung

to evacuate the villagers near the Century House

-to the Left Naval Headquarters. -Yes, sir.

Bring the ten best officers

and have them help the soldiers stop the creature.

-Yes, sir. -And Officer Kim,

go and relay this news to the training center.

Yes, sir.

Someone, stop me.

My thirst cannot be quenched.

I want to kill everyone.

Please.

Someone, stop me, please!

TRAINING CENTER

Look at you.

You're not even trying, are you?

If I actually try, you'll lose.

You hate losing.

I would hate it more if you let me win.

-Do it properly. -What if you get hurt?

Are you looking down on me?

Right now, your ribs have been penetrated.

And just now, you were stabbed in the back.

You're a bit slow.

Gosh, that was close.

If I was a bit quicker, it would've been a heavy blow.

Right, Gon?

It's because you were grounded for some time.

If you practice for a few days, you'll be as good as before.

I'm going to practice twice as much starting tomorrow.

What?

Please take care of my son.

Pardon?

Cherish him and look after him.

Please.

Why are you suddenly saying that to me?

I need to go

and stop Wol-ryeong.

Pardon?

As a parent,

I can't let Kang-chi carry that kind of burden, so...

I'm going to try and stop him.

But I heard Koo Wol-ryeong has completely lost his memories.

He remembers nothing.

He's only trying to destroy everything.

Moreover, you're finally with Kang-chi after all this time.

He's so happy right now.

You can't leave again.

After seeing you with him,

I believe that you can make him happier than I can.

That's how I was able to make this decision.

You should let your child leave the nest

when he's grown up.

He has become a great young man, and he has met a beautiful woman.

That is

all I ever wanted for him.

But my lady...

I was too naive and failed to protect my love.

But I hope

you can protect yours.

Will you?

Kang-chi.

Kang-chi.

Yes?

Wake up.

What?

What happened? Why are you here?

Where's Mother?

Did she go somewhere?

She went

to the village.

She's going to stop Wol-ryeong.

What?

She told me not to tell you,

but I thought I should.

I think you should know about it.

-Run. -Run.

-What's going on? -Hurry.

Run!

-Run! -Run! This way!

Hurry!

Why are you still here? You should leave now!

Did you think I was the kind of coward who runs from an evil spirit?

Well, that's not what I meant.

The opponent is indeed--

Even if he's immortal,

he can't live when his head has been cut off, can he?

Don't you think so?

I mean...

Things are getting interesting.

Maybe this chaos might just help us.

A lot of soldiers have left this area.

It means that the Left Naval Headquarters

is defenseless.

Don't you think so, Kakeshima Daisho?

Okay. I'll be back with the map tonight.

See you.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Who's there?

Where are you going?

Tell me, what are you hiding from me?

She's my mother, Gon.

Tell me.

Please tell me!

Koo Wol-ryeong

is attacking the villages.

Gunjeong, Hakbong, and even Yeongdae-ri.

Every villager has been murdered.

Then...

what about Mother?

She said

she'll try to stop him herself, and she went to the village.

What?

Which village?

-Kang-chi. -Where did she do?

If it's Gunjeong, Hakbong, Yeongdae-ri,

the Century House is next, Kang-chi.

Wait.

Let me go with you.

I'll bring my sword. Wait here.

I'll be right back. Hold on, okay?

Take care of Yeo-ul.

My lady, what are you doing at this hour?

I have to go somewhere.

With your bow and sword?

Where are you going?

I need to protect someone.

Gon.

Step aside.

It was Kang-chi's request.

He told me to relay a message.

I'll be back.

Kang-chi always does what he says.

So this time, just do as he says and wait for him.

A mere human shouldn't interfere.

But he can't do this alone.

He might lose control again.

I need to be with him.

No. He's able to control his power alone now.

-What? -Even without you or the bracelet,

he can control his power.

Even without me?

So stop worrying about him.

Kang-chi might be stronger than we think.

Maybe even stronger than what he thinks of himself.

CENTURY HOUSE

-Oh, goodness! -Oh, no!

Stand your ground!

It's over now.

Stop, Wol-ryeong.

Please.

Stop this right here.

Wol-ryeong.

Wol-ryeong.

Wol-ryeong!

No!

Wol-ryeong.

Wol-ryeong.

Wol-ryeong.

Wol-ryeong!

Wol-ryeong.

Seo-hwa.

Yes.

Do you remember?

I missed you.

Wol-ryeong!

We should

head back now.

Let's go back

to the Garden of the Moonlight.

-What? -Where did they go?

No.

I can't let them go like this.

Let them go.

That's what you should do, Kang-chi.

-Sir! -It was your mother's

last request for you.

I need you to do me a favor.

This is the last request of a sinful mother.

Please help Kang-chi

live the life

he wants to live.

I do not want my son

to see me leave.

Please.

Do this for me.

No.

We finally got to meet each other.

I was finally able to see my mother's face.

I was finally

able to call her my mother.

I can't let her go.

I can't let her go, sir!

Please let me go!

Please don't

let your mother down.

Sir!

Please understand that your mother only wanted

to protect her son.

Sir.

Sir.

Mother!

MIYAMOTO

The revenge you've been plotting for 20 years

is in vain.

That's too bad, Seo-hwa.

I'll give you one last chance.

Come to me.

If you do, I'll forget everything

and accept you.

That is

your punishment.

-What? -Even if you gain power and wealth,

and become the governor,

you will never be satisfied.

That's why you'll continue wanting more. You'll be craving and gasping.

You will never stop wanting more,

but you will never own anything.

That is

your punishment.

Yoon Seo-hwa!

You're awake.

Wol-ryeong.

Are you okay?

I only remember your name,

as well as

your face.

As soon as the sun rises, go back to the humans.

I'm not sure when I'll lose my memories again.

I'm sorry, Wol-ryeong!

At that time,

I was too young.

My heart wasn't big enough

to contain your love.

I'm sorry that I hurt you.

I'm sorry that I made you suffer.

All my life,

I kept it with me.

If I can

meet you ever again,

I want to change you back

to who you were.

If possible, I want to change everything back to the way it was.

Seo-hwa.

What are you saying?

Because you are immortal,

my existence may be brief and insignificant,

but please remember me.

To me,

you were everything,

Wol-ryeong.

No!

Seo-hwa!

No, Seo-hwa.

Seo-hwa!

Seo-hwa.

Seo-hwa!

Seo-hwa!

Seo-hwa!

Seo-hwa.

Seo-hwa.

Seo-hwa.

Seo-hwa.

Please.

Let go of it.

Please let go, Seo-hwa!

Let it go.

Please.

I love you,

Wol-ryeong.

And

I'm sorry.

This is all

I can do for my love.

Seo-hwa.

No.

No!

No!

No, Seo-hwa.

No!

No, Seo-hwa.

Seo-hwa!

Seo-hwa! No!

Seo-hwa! No!

No!

No, Seo-hwa...

No!

No.

Seo-hwa.

Seo-hwa.

Seo-hwa. No...

Seo-hwa!

No!

No, Seo-hwa.

I didn't hate you.

I only missed you.

No.

I didn't resent you.

I just loved you so much.

Seo-hwa!

I love you,

Seo-hwa.

Seo-hwa, no!

No, Seo-hwa!

No.

No!

Seo-hwa.

Seo-hwa, open your eyes.

Seo-hwa!

Here.

Kang-chi left this earlier.

He said that it's his answer.

I cut down the tree, and I saw the character for "root."

After all, my home, my root,

is my mother, who gave birth to me.

It seems to be raining.

I think the monsoon season has begun.

TRAINING CENTER

Kang-chi.

Yeo-ul.

He's able to control his power alone now.

Even without you or the bracelet, he can control his power.

Let him go, Yeo-ul.

Pardon?

Father, what did you just say?

I think it's time for you to let him go,

so that he can go and find the Gu Family Book.

Father.

You should let him go, Yeo-ul.

Only then

can he leave with no regrets.

You're back.

Yes.

I'm back.

And your mother?

Mother is...

Mother is...

She's gone.

Mother is...

Mother is...

I see.

I see.

Yeo-ul.

Let him go, Yeo-ul.

Only then

can he leave with no regrets.

I want to grow old with Yeo-ul.

I don't even want to imagine a world without Yeo-ul.

This is the last time, isn't it?

But once in a while, I will miss you.

Ja Hong-myeong gave a list to Commander Yi Sun-shin.

What would you do?

Will you make a deal with me?

What are you talking about now?

Did you say that one of us might die?

So you should give up on Lady Yeo-ul.

We only have three days from now.

Will I be able to let you go, Kang-chi?

What should I do with you, Yeo-ul?
