[Episode 24]

The weather's fine today.

Let's drink some tea.

Are you ready?

Are you alright?

Do you want to rest for a bit?

I’m fine.

Let’s get some fresh air.

Withdraw!

Kwangtaek, I lived a full life thanks to you.

I appreciate it.

Thank you as well.

Shoot!

Kwangtaek...

Did you think I'd be happy if you die like this?

You gave up everything for Gaok.

However, I've never done anything like that.

I never gave up anything for the woman I loved.

Be quiet, you!

Don’t say anything.

Now, I can go to Gaok with an easy conscience.

Did you want to die that badly?

I wanted to change you back to how you were.

To how you used to be.

Gaok... I miss... Gaok.

You will see her soon.

Master, Master!

Dongsoo, did you see me?

Master...

Please don’t say anything, Master...

Please don’t say anything, Master...

I asked if you saw me!

Yes, sir.

Surpass me.

You will surpass me.

You're not only the best swordsman in Joseon,

but you'll be the best in the whole world.

Yes, Master!

Father! Father!

Jinjoo... Jinjoo...

I’m sorry...

My beloved daughter.

Master!

Father...

Master.

Father! Father!

Master...

Father, Father!

Didn’t I tell you to withdraw your archers?

The thing is...

I was going to deliver your orders...

However, it was already too late.

Did Master Chun see you?

I don’t think so.

But Master In saw me.

What brings you here, Master Chun?

Who was it?

I asked who it was!

I planned this.

No, I planned this.

He had stomach cancer!

[Banwi: Stomach cancer]

What did you just say?

Not that I didn’t have intentions to kill him.

However, once I found out he had stomach cancer,

I gave the order to withdraw my soldiers.

Stomach cancer?

Don’t act out of line.

Considering our past dealings, I'll let him live.

Let’s pretend we don’t know each other from now on.

That will be better.

Call the doctor.

Yes, sir.

Father, I should have called you Father before...

I didn’t have the courage to.

Because I didn’t want to startle you...

And I didn’t know how to tell you...

I’m sorry.

Forgive me, Father.

Jinjoo!

Are you alright?

I’m sorry, Father.

How does a man get cold feet in such a petty situation?

We'll just have to repay him double.

Since he turned his back on me, shouldn’t we kill him now?

Find the former Master In who's practically a cripple now.

He’ll be helpful in killing off Master Chun.

But where do we start looking for him?

Now, do I need to shove every detail down your throat?

He hated the swordmaster so much,

he wouldn’t hesitate to step on his dead body.

Keep an eye on that butcher!

Yes, sir!

Dongsoo, come in.

There’s something you have to see.

In case I die in the duel against Chunsoo,

make sure to show my wounds to Dongsoo.

What are you talking about?

Stop talking nonsense!

Don’t forget what I’m telling you, Samo.

Look at his wounds.

Are you asking me to remove my master’s clothes

and look at his wounds?

No, I can’t do it.

How would I dare touch the dead body of my master?

It was his last will.

Do it.

Now!

No, I can’t.

I can’t do that, ever!

Dongsoo, did you see me?

Master, please don’t say anything.

I asked if you saw me.

Surpass me.

You will surpass me.

Not only will you become the best swordsman in Joseon,

but the best swordsman in the world.

Forgive my impropriety, Master.

Don’t neglect anything

for the swordmaster's funeral. [King Yeongjo]

[Yi San (Future King Jeongjo]

Yes, Grandfather.

[Queen Jeongsun]

A great star has fallen.

Make sure not to neglect any details for his funeral.

Yes, Your Highness.

I heard Master Kim Kwangtaek passed away.

I heard it too.

Just how did he die?

Someone shot him with an arrow!

Anyhow, he left behind a great apprentice, Baek Dongsoo.

I suppose he can die without regret.

But Lord Kim, the swordmaster who stopped you at every turn died.

Why don’t you seem happy?

The mother died, [Kim Hangu (Queen Jeongsun's father)]

but its offspring still lives.

Do you mean Baek Dongsoo?

He rendered meritorious deeds on several occasions lately.

I heard the swordmaster died...

Do you mean the best swordsman in this country?

Is it true?

Yes, I heard countless martial artists around the country are coming

to offer their condolences.

The swordmaster is gone...

He should have died by my hand.

So long, swordmaster!

What's the use of celebrating?

Did you just say you want to kill Chunsoo?

You’re the best strategist I have ever known.

If you have a good idea, let’s discuss it.

Tell me.

I really intend to kill him.

Chunsoo has a daughter no one knows about.

Goodbye!

Go to Gaok.

Go far away to the mountains and ocean...

Goodbye, Kwangtaek!

Goodbye!

This is the art of the identification tag.

Would you like to learn?

Dongsoo!

I want to learn.

If you’re a warrior of Joseon,

shouldn’t you complete Joseon’s martial arts?

I’m sure you can finish what I only started.

Surpass me.

Do you think you can do it?

I’ll do my best.

I’ll surpass you and complete Joseon’s martial arts.

Chunsoo, now it’s your turn.

You two are like my own sons.

Why don’t you go there?

On a day like today, no one will stop you.

That’s not a place I can go to.

How can I go there?

My senior has left many things.

Especially... To Dongsoo.

Oh boy, you jerk!

You should’ve told us you were sick!

How could he get stomach cancer?

Even if he had to leave us, he must be with

Gaok about now.

Who knows? He could be even happier than he was before.

Didn’t he leave any final words?

Dongsoo, say something!

He told me to live a happy life.

A happy life?

How can we live a happy life without him?

Kwangtaek, just come back!

Kwangtaek!

Jinjoo...

Had I known he’d go like this, I would’ve held his hand warmly

and acted as a daughter to him.

Dongsoo, it hurts so much here...

Here, it hurts so I can’t even breathe!

Please leave me alone for a while.

Are you with her?

Why were you fishing without a fishing hook?

Senior, what did you leave behind?

You had at least three opportunities.

Did you want to leave the chance for Dongsoo?

[King Hyojong's Scimitar]

It weighs 49 kilograms.

I can feel the weight of the burden my father

carried on his shoulders all his life...

Why did you bring out this scimitar again?

Forgive me.

I just wanted to practice martial arts with the royal scimitar.

I don’t want to discuss this any further.

Have this scimitar melted and destroyed!

Grandfather, isn’t this scimitar

a relic passed down by King Hyojong? [Hyomyo: King Hyojong]

Prince Yi San, it will bring you harm!

However, Grandfather!

Now!

What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get rid of it!

Yes, Your Highness.

I don’t see anyone from the morning.

Is everyone still sleeping?

You wench, go wake them all up.

Don’t they need to eat at least?

Okay.

What is with her too?

Excuse me, is this even soup and rice?

Even plain water would taste better!

Oh my, I’m so sorry!

Wait a minute!

I’ll bring you another bowl!

Dongsoo still didn’t come home last night?

No, it has been three days already.

Don’t wait for him.

I’m sure he’ll come back in a few days on his own.

What happened to the thing I asked you to make?

I have just finished!

Chunsoo, is this good enough for you?

Did you find out his whereabouts?

I haven’t found him yet...

I didn’t expect you would, you fool!

Foo... Fool?

Splash, splash...

Look at those fish!

Let’s go.

How many people have you killed with your sword?

Father, wake up, Father!

Is nobody here?

You killed my father!

You should die!

What is your father’s name?

Captain Jang Daepo! Why?

Jang Daepo...

I guess that makes sense.

Here you are.

But where is Dongsoo?

What are you doing here?

How could you come here?

Why?

Is there anyone left who you want to kill?

I have never been scared of you.

I knew you were a bad person.

But I was never scared of you.

But now, I’m scared of you.

To think you killed my father with that sword...

How could you show up in front of me after you killed my father?

How? How?

I didn’t get to call him Father.

I didn’t get the chance to hold his hand.

So didn’t I ask you?

Why did you kill my father?

Why?

Go away, go!

Get lost!

Jinjoo!

Jinjoo!

You villain, how dare you show up here?

Master Chun, what brings you here?

You, get out of here!

Yes, let’s get out of here.

You villain, you should kneel and beg for Kwangtaek’s

forgiveness when you die and go to hell!

Let go of me!

Dongsoo!

Dongsoo.

Promise to avenge my father on him.

Please avenge him.

Where is Baek Dongsoo?

Be quiet!

I asked you where Baek Dongsoo is.

Why are you looking for him?

Right now, I’ll...

I’m only here to see Baek Dongsoo.

Whether you kill me or not is up to you.

Dongsoo.

So you came?

Come fight me.

Be careful.

Take care of Jinjoo, please.

Okay, I will.

I'll start then.

Is this what you wanted to leave to me, Kwangtaek? Is this it?

Were you trying to complete his training with your own death?

What do you want me to do?

May I kill him, this Baek Dongsoo?

Samo, you can trust Dongsoo.

Jinki, it's not that I don’t trust Dongsoo...

You cannot kill me.

You should hold your sword with your heart.

However, all I see in you is rage.

Do you know? If you want to kill me, you should wield your sword

with the earnest desire to plunge it into my heart.

Only an earnest heart will move your sword.

With this, I paid off my all debt.

Now, you’ll need to wager your life.

Did you know? Kwangtaek fished without a fishing hook.

I don’t know what he was trying to catch...

What are you doing?

It was my best shot.

Woon...

Since you resisted my sword,

you’re the best swordsman in Joseon now.

What are you doing here?

So I’ll become the best assassin in Joseon.

That’s my first goal.

After that, it’ll be you.

Dongsoo!

Oh my, Dongsoo!

Dongsoo, are you okay?

Yes, sir.

I'm proud of you!

What about Chunsoo?

Okay, when I see him again, I’ll take his head!

Let’s get inside.

Joo...

Yeo Woon, so you came?

You have never given me teaching, not even once.

You only gave me the orders of an assassin which I had no choice but to carry out.

At any rate, wasn’t it the path you chose?

Yes, I chose that path.

So from now on, I’ll live my way.

Whether it be heart or life, I must have them all.

As the supreme master of the Black Assassins, I’ll take the former master’s life.

That’s right.

The time for that has come.

Do you want to come with me?

I won’t hide or hide anything anymore.

What is the difference between a warrior and an assassin?

If I can have everything I want by spilling blood, I’ll have to do it.

You have a good expression in your eyes.

Your eyes embrace the pain in your heart.

Those are the very eyes that decide the life or death of a person.

The eyes of a true assassin.

The only thing I have left is the life of an assassin.
