All language subtitles for Tale of the Nine Tailed_S01E13_Episode 13.English

Do you feel better now?

Look at me.

Long time no see, Lee Yeon.

Long time no see, Yeon.

This woman is mine.

This woman is mine.

How does it feel

to live through 600 long years

only to stand as an enemy
before the woman you love?

What about Ji-a?

Where is she?

Right here. She's in here with me.

She's screaming

and dreading her hopeless fate.

Let me ask you a question.

Who was that guy?

And who are you?

It's all your fault.

If she was sacrificed
at the well on the island,

we wouldn't have split up
and remained as one in the first place.

We'll be reunited in time anyway.

And when is

that time?

It'll be the day we take your body.

Why are you both so obsessed with my body?

You two can stick together
and live a good life.

Didn't you see how fast it grew?

Does it

age as quickly as it grew?

So that's your curse.

I once had a chance to change my fate.

If you could've become a dragon,

I would've been the mountain deity
of Baekdu Mountain, not you.

This was about revenge.

That's why you were obsessed with my body

among all those immortals.

For your information,
since I'm already out here,

she'll be gone very soon.

I'll kill you.

If you kill me, your girl dies.

If you save your girl,
you'll die, Lee Yeon.

Will you save her?
Or will you save yourself?

Unfortunately,

none of the choices reflect what we want.

No matter what you say,

you can't lay a finger on this body.

You're weak.

What?

Does this body make you weaker?

Most of your strength and power are
with the other serpent.

You're like that thing's heart.

That's why you need Ji-a as a shield,

so I won't find out how weak you are.

You two can't change your fate.

I just need you to disappear. Just you.

You're all I need, Ji-a.

Please.

Just give me your darned body and die.

Ji-a.

Can you hear me?

I know you're there.

Shut up.

Come back.

I will always be waiting for you.

Come back, Ji-a.

I'll always be waiting for you.

I also have been waiting for you.

If anything, I'm an expert at waiting.

I can sit here not only 24 hours,
but 24 years.

I thought I'd run into you
if I waited here.

I'll stay by your side.

I'm yours until the day I die.

Yeon.

Yes, it's me. I'm right here.

Help me, Yeon.

Just kill me…

so that I won't hurt you.

It's okay. It's alright.

Everything will be okay.

Mr. Gu.

Thank you for today. You saved my life.

Don't thank me. You should thank Mr. Lee.

And you two, be careful.

Mr. Lee!

I'll be right there.

I don't care for Lee Yeon or the serpent.

All I need is my bladder cherries.

My bladder cherries!

Hey.

You shouldn't drive so recklessly!

Who are you?

I'm Hyeonuiong.

I got a call and came for the cherries.

Who sent you?

Was it the serpent? Or Lee Yeon?

Why is that so important?

It doesn't belong to you anyway.

Don't be ridiculous!

The cherries are mine. Mine!

Gosh, it hurts.

I hate the smell of gunpowder.

Hey.

You aren't allowed
to defy your lifespan as you like.

What? You're a monster too?

My goodness.

It looks like
we'll see each other again very soon.

Mr. Lee!

SIN-JU'S ANIMAL HOSPITAL

Is she back to Ms. Nam right now?

We don't know
when she'll change and attack you.

I let her attack me on purpose.

What?

I wanted to check.

The serpent has split up into two
for his advantage,

but it could also serve
as a fatal weakness.

What do you mean?

The serpent in Ji-a's body

is unlike the one we've seen.

The same serpent is different?

This one is much closer
to the serpent I've met in her past life.

What should I do?

Head over to the Snail Bride
and find the fortune-teller.

The old fart who ran away
with your Fox Marble?

Should we turn these back into humans?

Check the book, and let them return
only if they have time left.

It's a hassle if they jump out at once.

Let's eat first.

Honey, do you want tteokbokki?
With fried seaweed rolls and sundae?

Extra cheese.

Okay, extra mozzarella cheese!

Level three spiciness for you

and level one for me.

THE BOOK OF THE DEAD:
A RECORD OF EACH PERSON'S LIFESPAN

Great turmoil will break out
if I don't stop this now.

NAME: NAM JI-A
BIRTH: MARCH 3RD, 1991

But

I still choose to be with her.

NAME: NAM JI-A
BIRTH: MARCH 3RD, 1991

DEATH: 2020

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

Those were my hands.

I was the one
who stabbed you and hurt you.

I know better than
anyone else that it wasn't you.

Will you look at me? Please?

How are you feeling? Are you okay?

Why are you still worried about me

in this condition?

Do you want some coffee?

Or chicken feet?

No.

Do you want to go home?

I don't think I can.

What if I change again

and hurt my mom and dad?

I might really go crazy.

Then should we go somewhere else?

Okay, let's go.

Let's go someplace
where we can be completely alone.

Don't worry too much about your parents.

I asked Sin-ju to keep an eye out.

Thank you.

Where are we going?

Anywhere.

Do you remember the first time we met?

When you were a kid?

No.

Of course, I remember.

My life's work has been
hunting someone down.

You were the first one
to chase me so aggressively

just to catch me.

I should've aggressively confessed to you.

Then we could've spent a little more time

being cluelessly happy.

Damn it.

Damn it!

Are you headed somewhere?

Forgive me.

I must've been insane.

I was blinded by the bladder cherries.
You idiot!

Lift up your head.

From your birth as a slave
in a shabby house filled with bedbugs,

you've come a long way.

It's all thanks to you.

I was the one who saved you
before you were executed as a rebel.

How could I forget your kindness?

Then

why did you take Lee Yeon's hand?

I heard you told him a lot of things.

Please show me mercy.

-If you give me another chance--
-There's no need.

I don't need anything.

or anyone anymore.

-The plan has changed.
-Pardon?

I want life to turn into hell…

for everyone alive and breathing.

Turn yourself in.

Being a sinner suits you.

Let's play a game.

What game?

Just as you said,
we'll pretend like we don't know anything.

Give me an example.

You're an ordinary woman who complains
of your boring and serene everyday life.

And I am

not a Nine-tailed Fox.

Do we know each other?

We are…

a married couple. We're married.

An ordinary couple.

You'll go to work as usual,

and I'll be waiting
with dinner on the table, okay?

So I'm the breadwinner?

I have a lot of real estate and cash.

I'll just stay at home
and take rent from my tenants.

Stop laughing and do it seriously.

Then what should I do?

Wait, hold on.

Wait here.

Okay. You can come home now.

You're off work.

This seems a bit silly.

I'm home!

Honey?

"Honey, I'm home?"

Gosh, is my puppy upset?

Why are you so upset?

Look at the time.

You always say,

"A woman can be late
if she's working out in the real world."

You said you'd be home by midnight.

You made me a promise.

-So I have a curfew?
-Yes.

You broke your curfew twice last month.

-Does my promise mean nothing to you?
-Yes, I did that.

Forgive me this once.

This isn't right, honey. Take a seat.

Sit down. Let's talk.

Honey, you were just treated
for your alcohol abuse!

Me?

I see.

So you're messing with the characters?

You've changed recently.

Do you even love me?

I love you.

Me too.

Let's make up, okay?

Of course.

Our fights never last
longer than five minutes.

It's unfair.

Why can't we have a normal life like this?

This is so unfair.

If you were a human,

we were really married,

and there was no such thing as a serpent--

If we lived in a world like that,

if I had met you there,

it must've been so nice.

I'll keep you safe.

No matter what happens,

you must live on when this fight ends.

That is

all I want.

I've been reborn many times,

but the world is still full of darkness.

Lee Yeon, I'll show you

the end of the world I live in.

TERRY

Hello?

The party is about to begin.

I won't be so nice to you from now on.

Look forward to it.

I pity you.

You've never learned
how to love someone or be loved.

All you can do is threaten me.

As you say, this is a threat.

Your body is now a ticking bomb.

Look at yourself.

It will take full control of your body
very soon.

When that time comes,
you'll kill Lee Yeon with your own hands.

Are you crazy?

Why did you peek at my computer?

What's your plan?

Why are you tampering with her life?

She's the real thing.

The real serpent.

What are you saying?

What's in her body is
the essence of the real serpent.

I have to kill it
to catch the other one running amok.

Will you sacrifice an innocent girl
to catch the serpent?

You know what she means to Yeon.

I know that better than anyone.

Then how can you?

That's exactly why I'm going to do it.

Yeon will never let that girl die,

and the serpent knows it.

What do you think will happen
if it also gets Yeon's body?

So you'll kill someone
over something that hasn't happened?

What are you trying to protect
by taking things that far?

This is my job!

That's exactly why

our son lost his wife and we lost our son.

You fixed her record in the book,
like you did just now.

Thanks to you,

I haven't found our son's soul yet

after he took his own life.

And I prevented the plague.

Our Bok-gil can't be reborn!

That is…

that boy's fate.

I thought

you had changed a little

after our son died like that.

But you haven't changed at all.

A bigger disaster is on the horizon

unless I stop this now.

Fine. You stop that disaster.

I'll stop you.

What are you trying to do?

The moment you change
the date of her death,

we're over.

I'm writing this as I watch you sleep.

I decided to go back to Seoul.

After spending a night here,
I've come to this conclusion.

No matter how far I run,
there's no way to escape from this.

I'm down at the beach.

Let's take a walk.

Let's walk to the end of this beach,
then go back.

I am just a nobody,

so it feels like
the heavy weight of my fate

continues to drag me down
to the bottom of the ocean.

But Yeon, you push me up like a buoy.

You help me stay afloat.

You won't let me sink.

I promised

to give her

a boring and serene life
the ordinary people live

as a gift.

On that beach, she said

she doesn't want to be alone.

She wanted to live together
or die together.

But perhaps

that may be the one promise I can't keep.

Bring Mr. Lee back to life.

I've tried everything,
but I couldn't do it.

Why should I?

Why should I do you a favor?

I stabbed him and got framed
because of you.

You better take responsibility.

What do you think of me?

A bladder cherry farmer.

I'm not afraid of you.

You mean that.

But if you wanted to make a deal,

shouldn't I get something out of this?

You don't seem to have
any cards up your sleeve.

And this half-fox is

completely useless to me now.

Take my life and save Mr. Lee Rang.

Are you sure?

One second.

Mr. Lee.

I may be going now,
but please live a long life.

Don't skip meals, put on some weight,

and stop chasing after your brother.

And please--

please be a little happier.

Kill me.

Stop taking your time.
That's way more annoying.

Open your eyes.

I'll do this for you.

Instead,

you're coming with me.

When the serpent in her calls,

you will become my soldier.

If you stay in there for too long,

you'll get devoured by darkness.

How may I help you?

I'll turn myself in.

Sorry?

I came to turn myself in.

I killed her.

Who did you kill?

The mummy from the construction site
in Geumran-gu.

Are you serious?

There are four more.

Check my car's navigation history.

You'll be able to find
where I buried the rest of them.

Go check it out.

Yes, sir.

Why did you kill them?

You're the president of a TV station.
So why?

I just wanted to live a long life.

If you were in my shoes,

I'm sure you'd have done the same.

Should I come in?

No.

I want to get a good look
at my mom and dad.

If anything happens to me--

That won't happen.

But if that's how you feel, then go ahead.

Don't worry.

That thing only comes out
when it feels threatened,

like when it sees blood.

Now that you mention it…

Long time no see, Yeon.

The scales are spreading.

I might not have much time

to stay as myself.

I need to go see the Snail Bride.

Meet me at my place with my part-timers.

Ms. Kim and Jae-hwan?

Where's Yu-ri? Where is she?

She's gone.

She went with the scary man.

She won't come back anymore.

Did you find the fortune-teller?

I've been asking around
through my customers.

He didn't seem like a lowly local deity.

Who is that old geezer?

This may be a groundless rumor,

but they say
one of the ten kings of the afterlife

sometimes disappears
without saying a word.

Interesting.

Anyway, let me know
as soon as you get an update on him.

Here.

-What are these?
-What's all this?

I never got a chance

to treat you with my first paycheck.

It always bothered me.

You must be busy.

When did you find time to get us these?

It's wonderful, isn't it?

Doesn't it look great?

Try it on.

I can't put this on.
It's way too precious.

She bought it with her hard-earned money.

We'd better put it to good use.

Try it on.

Should I?

This isn't the right way to my house.

Give me five minutes.

Is it good? Is it?

Yu-ri!

What brings you here at this hour?

-What's going on?
-I'm here to say goodbye.

We're breaking up.

-What do you mean?
-Gu Sin-ju.

I just dumped you.

So now,

don't wait for me, and don't look for me.

What's wrong? Did I do something?

I just don't like you.

I'm the type who gets bored easily.

No.

You aren't that type.

It takes you a while to open up,

but once you do,
you love something for long.

You act mean but are gentle and kind.

-What do you know?
-I can tell by the way

you treat Mr. Lee Rang and our dog.

Stop acting so nice.

I hate how you lecture me saying

I need friends and family,

your tacky style,

and that smile you always put on.

I hate it all.

I won't lecture you.

I'll only buy the clothes you pick out.

I'll stop smiling if you don't--

Will you please stop?

I don't like you. I hate you!

You're lying.

Stop getting so clingy.

I'm leaving.

I won't break up with you.

Let me go.

No, I won't

until you take back what you said
about breaking up.

Sin-ju.

Doing this will
only make me hate you more.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for everything, so--

Don't follow me.

Please get out of my life.

She said I pretend to be nice.

She doesn't like my face

and how I have a tacky style.

Now that you mention it,
she's not completely wrong.

That bladder cherry thief is
a total scumbag!

Why is she playing with a fox's heart?

Stop insulting her.

Sir.

Stop crying.

She's my first and last love.

I was going to propose.

I went to Jongno yesterday
to get gold rings.

What am I going to do?

There must be a reason
she suddenly wanted to leave.

That's what I don't know.

It was the serpent.

He took her.

Mr. Lee Rang.

Rang.

What are you doing?

You're up. You're back.

Stop acting so weird.

You might make me want to die again.

How did you get up?

What do you mean,

the serpent took her?

Yu-ri went with him
in exchange for my life.

Su-o saw them.

No, I have to get her back.

You can't like this.

What if he kills her?

Let me go!

You fool.
Do you want to die with her or what?

You wouldn't hit him, so I did.

I promise.

I promise to bring her back alive.

I'll kill that serpent.

Let me have him.
He tried to kill me twice.

Wait, where's Su-o?

Isn't he home alone?

Of course, he is.

How could you leave a kid home alone?

He won't come even if you dragged him out.

Vroom!

Everyone's here,

including someone
I'm not too thrilled to see.

Who are they?

My part-timers.

What?

You're as good looking as him,
which can only mean one thing.

You're not human.

Stop talking to me. I'll bite you.

Gosh, I knew it.

Three people and two foxes.

Which one are you?

It's three people

and three foxes.

I think we've introduced ourselves.
Shall we begin?

You said it's a strategy meeting.

So why are you here?

I've dealt with the serpent
more often than you.

And you got one in you.

Leave her out.

What if he's eavesdropping?

No, Ji-a is the key person
for this operation.

If you don't like it, leave.

All of us here have encountered
the serpent at least once.

And he tried to kill us
in one way or the other.

He also has a hostage.

And he's not just one, he's two.

We have to catch both to end this fight.

On top of that--

On top of that--

this is the main guy.

Hey, serpent's nest.

Why don't you just pass away
instead of causing a nuisance?

Why didn't you stay in bed?

You looked like a perfect Sleeping Beauty.

We can't kill him with physical attacks,
such as stabbing or slicing.

He can also control your mind.

Only Ji-a and I are uncontrollable.

It'll be very hard,

but try not to run into him one-on-one.

How can we fight him
if we have to avoid him?

There's nothing you can do anyway.

The only thing you'd say is, "Help me."

-I'm warning you.
-"I'm warning you."

So what in the world
is Terry trying to do?

He said he'll kill everyone.

And then--

After that, an epidemic will break out

so that no one will dare to be happy.

An epidemic?

Mr. Lee Rang, stop playing games!

I'm listening.
Cut it short and get to the point.

Until now,
I only fought the serpent we know

because I was worried Ji-a might get hurt.

But from now on,

I'm changing the target.

How are you going to kill
what's inside her body?

Did you find a way?

I did.

TRADITIONAL KOREAN CUISINE:
SNAIL BRIDE

Do you recall
the fortune-teller at the folk village?

Of course, I remember.

I lost the Fox Marble to him.

Rumors say that he's a big shot.
Is that true?

He's one of the ten kings
of the afterlife.

What?

He also has the Uiryeong Sword.

No way.

What's the Uiryeong Sword?

A sword that slays sin.

It can slay sin?

The King of the Underworld

made it with a Uiryeongsu Tree branch,
which can measure the weight of sin.

But didn't it disappear
thousands of years ago?

The Snail Bride just picked it up.

But if you cut her with a knife,
she'll get hurt too.

She won't. It's a wooden sword.

It only slays things that can't be slain.

In other words,
it'll only slay the serpent's spirit.

Thank goodness, Ji-a.

When are we doing this?

Tomorrow.

How is it to be reborn?

Is it because I was on the verge of death?

The coffee is extra good.

Live long, you fool.

If you die early,
you won't get to drink coffee again.

Isn't it tragic?

Were you scared that I'll die?

Yes, I was scared.

What did you get? Give me a sip.

It's good.

Why are you so nice to me?

No reason.
It's our first time together at a cafe.

All I had to do was reach out.

Why didn't I sooner?

What is that?
You sound like you'll die soon.

Hey, it's really good.

Doesn't it taste like the rainbow?
Give me a sip of yours too.

No, not mine.

You ungrateful jerk.

Don't drink it!

What happened?

It's not a big deal.

Did she do this?

It's not like that.

You're covering for her, so yes.

The Uiryeong Sword or whatever,

Will it really work on him?

It has been 600 years.

I'm going to put an end
to this tiresome fight once and for all.

What if you fail?

What will happen to me?

Rang.

That's why I need you.

I struggled my entire life.

I had just one step left
to stand at the top of this country.

Damn it.

Now I'm left in this tiny cell.

But I'm still alive.

I'm alive.

DU-KKI TTEOKBOKKI

Isn't this really good?

How can you want tteokbokki now?

I'll eat tteokbokki even if
the world ends tomorrow.

I told you to put more of that in.

-Do you want cheese balls?
-Lots.

A serving of cheese balls, please.

Sure.

It's hot.

Hey, this is really good.

-This is the best.
-This one?

It tastes so good
even at a time like this.

Don't come and see me for the time being.

I might put you in danger.

I'll do what I want.

You two almost died.

Do you remember

when my mom came to Seoul
for her discectomy operation?

She couldn't go because of work,
and she cried a river.

You went to see her in my place, right?

You stayed by my mom.

If I had left her alone,

I would've been more heartbroken
after she passed away.

-Let us help.
-She's right.

We're just ordinary people,
so we can't do much,

but I'd like to help out
any way we can in saving you.

For now,

going back to the office is
the biggest way you can help.

If all three of us are gone,
what will Mr. Choi say?

He's not there.

What?

He turned himself in?

There's no way
the serpent would let him live.

Find out what's going on
at the police station.

Okay.

The number you have dialed is not…

Mr. Choi isn't answering.

-Call 911 now!
-Yes, sir.

Is this 911?
This is Geumran Police Station.

Wait, let me help out. Let me.

-Please secure his airway.
-I'm on it.

Snail Bride.

We need to move up the plan.

TRADITIONAL KOREAN CUISINE:
SNAIL BRIDE

He has begun to make his move.
We don't have much time.

Today,

we'll slay the serpent in Ji-a first.

From now on,
we are not to make any mistakes.

We all get it, so go on.

The plan is simple.

First, Ji-a will bleed
to summon the serpent.

When it's out,
I'll slay it with the Uiryeong Sword.

Sin-ju, once Ji-a and I
enter the inner room,

lock the door from outside.

No one will come closer
until I give you a sign.

Why not?

If he gets away from Ji-a,

you'll be in danger.

It might try to get in your body.

That's why I put out the horse blood.

This one isn't like the serpent
we've seen so far.

We don't know what it looks like,
where it'll go,

or how it moves.

Make no mistakes, not even one.

What if it sticks to you?

That won't happen while I'm conscious.

Shin-ju.

It's a snake.

I've prepared
something that suits that thing.

So it'll be best
if you could slay him at once.

Even if he runs away,

this snake will be all that's left of it?

Let's go. I want to get rid of this
as soon as possible.

This is the sword.

Thank you. You may leave.

Please be careful.

Now,

let's get started.

Before we do that,

tie me to the chair with this.

What if I hurt you again?

That's not necessary.

Please do as I say.

Okay?

Why do you keep trying to protect me?

I have a bad feeling about this.

Don't say that. It's bad luck.

Then I'll tie you up.

Okay.

Yeon.

Will you give me a hug?

Please don't hesitate because of me.

Don't be nervous.
It's just a blunt wooden sword.

I'm prepared for any injury.

Why would I hurt you?

And this sword can
only slay things that can't be slain,

such as the spirit of a serpent.

Does that mean

it can slay your soul too?

Of course, it can.

I've been--

Yes?

wondering for a while.

Who are you?

What's going to vanish is your spirit.

-No!
-Move.

If anything happens to him,
I'll kill her right away.

You can't go in.

You'll have to beat me first.

Do you think I won't?

Darn it.

You pathetic fool.

I didn't expect you
to get the Uiryeong Sword.

Hey. Are you pretending to sleep?

What's going on?

Did you really lose your spirit?

It would've ended like this anyway.

Here's my old house.

Give me a new house.

Do you know how high
the housing prices are?

What a crook.

-What?
-What do you think?

I wanted to check this.

You use your scale
to transfer bodies, don't you?

The fortune-teller has been missing
after he was at the folk village.

Even the clairvoyant lady of Samdocheon
can't seem to spot him.

Darn it.

What do we do now?

Go out and get me
any wooden sword you can find.

A wooden sword?

What will you do with a useless sword?

I'll try to cut something
that can't be cut.

Why don't we spice things up a little?

Stop the car.

Then this sword was never--

It was 10,000 won
at the Cheonggyecheon Flea Market.

That fortune-teller only shows up

whenever or wherever he pleases.

Man, you scumbag.

Look who's talking.

What was that awful impersonation?

-Did you know it was me?
-I smelled it.

I smelled blood the moment I came in here.

I have a pretty good sense of smell.

Anyway, thanks for the donation.

Do you think you turned the tables
just because you have a scale?

Even if you plant it elsewhere,

I'll hunt her down and pester her again,

until you surrender and give up that body.

That means

I can use this to plant you elsewhere.

For example,

how about that snake?

Go ahead and try.

Okay.

Do you think

I'll let this body go quietly

as I get dragged out against my will?

Alright.

To be honest,

I like you more than the other serpent.

A villain should be wicked as much.

How dare a serpent dream of romance?

To me, this woman is
nothing more than a hostage.

He's more interested in Ji-a

than completing your body.

He's nothing but a piece of me.

He didn't seem to think so.

Do you think we'll split up
if you say that to me?

In your dreams.

Do you know

what he's up to right now?

So

that jerk is--

Everyone causes nothing but trouble.

NAME: NAM JI-A
BIRTH: MARCH 3RD, 1991

DEATH: TODAY

Innocent people are dying.

The whole world will fall apart
if I let this go on.

No, you're wrong.

From the beginning,

this was just who you were.

Honey.

Don't call me that.

Just now,

I decided to quit being your husband.

Nonsense. I won't allow it.

Stop right there.

Don't you hear me?

You'll lose everything
once you walk out that door.

I'll make sure of it!

Hey, are you okay?

Yeon.

Yes, it's me.

Let's hurry.

I want to remain as myself

in the last moment of my life.

So that I can

stay by your side.

Let's finish this.

Let's put an end

to this tiring fight.

THE BOOK OF THE DEAD

NAME: NAM JI-A
BIRTH: MARCH 3RD, 1991

NAME: NAM-JI-A

DEATH: TODAY

Give me three days.

I can catch it. I can catch the serpent!

It's too late.

You'll regret this.

If it weren't for me,

Yeon would've been living his life
as a mountain deity to this day.

Yeon will never forgive me.

I might regret loving you
for the first time.

I can destroy everything you care about.

Let's take her down together.

The lord of Samdocheon.

What's the condition?

Let Ji-a go.
