Episode 21
Who is she?
Who is that lady?
Why does it hurt so much just to look at her?
Wol Ryung.
Wol Ryung?
Wol Ryung.
Is that you?
Who are you?
Do you know me?
Wol Ryung.
You can't.
Kang Chi.
No more...
Don't kill anyone anymore.
I won't let you kill.
I...
I will stop you.
Wol Ryung.
Stop!
I know you're in pain.
I know this is not your true self. And...
I know that I'm the only one who can stop this.
I will help you to stop.
I...
I will help you to stop.
No, Wol Ryung!
You can't...
Don't do that.
He's your child.
That's our son.
Don't do that.
Kang Chi.
No!
You're great.
I have my origins in the military.
Kang Chi.
Damn...
Kang Chi!
Kang Chi.
It's endless. Let's get out of here.
Stop!
Kang Chi.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Don't worry, Mother.
Kang Chi.
Kang Chi!
What happened, Kang Chi?
Yeo Wool.
Do something, Gon. Hurry!
Hold still.
It's okay. Hang in there, Kang Chi.
It's almost done.
Just a bit more.
Good job, Gon.
What?
- All of them? - Yes, sir.
Then, what happened to Gu Wol Ryung?
He got away?
I ordered six men to stand guard in the woods.
As soon as they find him, they'll let us know.
Damn.
- It's me, Chae Ryung. - Come in.
- There's a problem. - What is it now?
Our men have lost the Head Merchant.
What's this now?
You told me there would be no mistakes!
I think Choi Kang Chi and his group came to take the merchant.
What?
- Are you saying Choi Kang Chi took Seo Hwa? - They're probably at Moo Hyung Do Gwan...
Moo Hyung Do Gwan is not the problem! Admiral Lee is behind them!
You still don't know what that means?
Damn.
- The Head Merchant of Goon Bon is here? - Yes.
She is waiting inside with Master Dam.
This is my mother, sir.
It's nice to meet you. I'm Ja Hong Myung, the Head Merchant of Goon Bon.
I'm Lee Soon Shin.
I heard you have something to tell me.
Kang Chi, you should go outside.
Please, do that.
Okay.
Please sit.
They're done talking?
Why are you coming out alone? What about your mother?
I think she has something to say to the admiral.
She asked me to wait outside.
It wasn't me!
If it wasn't you...
It...
It was my stomach.
Here...
- It's chicken! - It looks so good!
Eat a lot.
Thank you, Master.
When you are young, you have to eat a lot after working.
That's so very true.
Then, the most hungry one should eat, first.
There.
No, it's okay. You, eat it. You bled a lot.
This, too.
I'm fine. You should eat.
I'm fine, too. You, eat it.
I'm really okay. You're hungry, so eat it.
- I'm okay... - I'm really okay, I'm not hungry.
- Eat it... - You eat it, first.
Then.
Neither one of you wants to eat it, so I'll eat it.
Chicken...
Then, I'll have some, too.
Then, I'll have the wing.
How can a girl eat the wing? Just eat the breast.
- I want to eat this! - No, you can't have the wings.
You just eat the red ginseng. Give me that!
- No! - I'm going to eat the wing.
Don't you know what the wing means? You can't.
- Who are you? Give me. - Yeo Wool.
Youth is a good thing.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi will start a war for sure.
I think so, too.
But what I worry about is not the foreign foes, but foes within our nation.
Jo Gwan Woong has been getting funded by the Goon Bon merchants for the past 20 years.
He's been expanding his political allies in this country.
The funds from Goon Bon have been spread far and deep to key court officials in our nation.
So, what is it that you want to tell me?
There are a total of 11 key officials receiving funds from the Goon Bon merchants.
I know all of their names.
I will give you that list. But...
I have a favor to ask.
- Tae Seo, you are going? - Yes.
Why don't you come back from the Hundred Year Inn now?
Isn't it dangerous to stay there by yourself?
While the Goon Bon merchants are there, I need to keep an eye on them.
Whenever you sense danger, let us know through Father.
I'll get over there in a hurry to help you.
What is that?
This?
This is homework that Head Mistress Chun gave me.
She told me to bring the house built out of the wood from this tree.
Do you know anything about that?
If you want to build a house using that tree, you'll have to cut off the bottom, first.
What?
What do you see?
This...
The character 'bon' meaning 'one's origins'...
It's about the essence again?
How can one claim to know oneself if he doesn't know his own origins?
If you find out your origins, you'll find your own value.
That seems to be the topic behind this quiz.
My origin?
You can rest here.
From today on, you should lay down comfortably to rest.
How are your wounds?
Thanks to the mythical nature I have, my wounds healed quickly.
I see.
Your mother didn't lead an exemplary life. But you...
grew up so well.
Does it seem that way to you?
Yes.
I'm so proud of you.
And, I'm grateful.
That's a relief.
That you are proud of me.
To be honest, back then...
I went to find you.
As soon as I got my senses back, I went back to the Moonlight Garden.
But, the mountains did not open the way for me.
I searched the area for over a month.
Even so...
I couldn't find my way to you.
I didn't intend to abandon you, Kang Chi.
Not once in my life, I never erased you from my heart.
Yes.
Mother.
A mother is such a good thing...
Isn't the relationship between a parent and child strange?
A child causes the greatest pain to a parent.
But a parent, also, causes her child the greatest pain.
Did you ever feel resentment towards Master?
Every time he treats Kang Chi harshly, I resent him a bit.
He is so harsh towards Kang Chi.
I can understand Master.
The two of you should never have met.
He even heard that one of you may die.
It would be strange if he didn't feel fear. No?
I'm not scared of a future that hasn't even arrived, yet.
What is the future?
It's an accumulation of all the present moments.
But, if I change the present to fit the future...
there would be no meaning in living the present.
So, Gon...
I want to get a workout right at this present moment...
How about a match?
Sir, this is urgent!
All the villagers in Goon Jung have been killed.
Sir!
This is urgent!
Villagers in Hak Bong Ri and Young Dae Ri have all been killed.
Save me.
Save me...
What?
- Wol Ryung? - Yes, sir.
He's killing all the villagers.
He's wiped out Goon Jung, Hak Bong Ri, and Young Dae Ri already.
He's already at Young Dae Ri?
Then, after that...
It would be the Hundred Year Inn.
If he continues, he'll reach the Hundred Year Inn in an hour or two.
Jung Ho, you go and alert Chief Jung about this.
And evacuate the villagers that live near the inn to our navy base.
And take the top 10 best soldiers to help the authorities in stopping the mythical being.
- Yes, sir. - And you, Deputy Kim...
You should relay this news to Moo Hyung Do Gwan.
Yes, sir.
Someone, stop me.
My thirst can't be quenched.
I want to kill everyone.
Please...
Someone, stop me, please!
Look at this kid...
- You're going to go this easy on me? - You'll lose if I fight hard.
- You don't like losing. - Still, I hate when you let me win.
- Do it right. - What if you get hurt?
Are you underestimating me?
You just got a wound to your ribs.
You just got stabbed in your back.
You're a step behind.
Too bad. If I was a bit faster, I would have had you.
Right, Gon?
It's because you haven't been practicing while being cooped up inside.
If you practice for a few days, you'll get it back.
I'll have to practice twice as hard starting tomorrow.
Please take care of my son.
Excuse me?
Support him, and care for him.
It's a request.
Why are you saying that so suddenly?
I have to go, and stop him.
What?
As parents, we can't let our son take on that burden.
I...
I will stop him.
But...
I heard that Gu Wol Ryung has totally lost his memory.
He can't remember anyone. He just wants to kill.
And, you've finally come back to Kang Chi.
Kang Chi's so happy.
What happens if you leave like this?
Watching you next to him, I believe that you'll give him even more happiness.
That's why I was able to make up my mind.
All children leave when they get older.
He's become a great man, and he's met a beautiful woman like you.
There is nothing more I want.
But, Head Merchant...
I was foolish, and couldn't keep my love.
I hope you'll be able to keep your love.
Kang Chi.
Wake up.
What's going on? Why are you...
Where's Mother?
Did she go somewhere?
She went down to the village.
She wanted to take care of Wol Ryung.
What?
She asked me to keep it a secret from you.
But, I didn't feel right about it.
I thought you should know.
This way!
Why haven't you evacuated?
You should flee.
You think I would flee in fear of some evil being?
That's not it.
But, still...
Even if he's immortal, he wouldn't be able to live if his neck falls off.
Don't you agree?
This is getting interesting.
All this commotion may turn out to work in our favor.
I heard the navy sent many of its men here.
That would mean that the navy base is pretty empty.
Don't you think so?
I got it. I will bring back the map tonight.
Then.
Who's there?
- Where are you going? - You tell me, first.
What are you hiding from me?
She's my mother!
Tell me. I need to know!
Gu Wol Ryung has been attacking the villages.
Goon Jung, Hak Bong, even Young Dae Ri...
All of the villagers have been murdered.
Then...
Mother?
She wanted to stop Wol Ryung, herself. She went down to the village.
What?
- Which village did she go to? - Kang Chi.
Where did she go?
Goon Jung, Hak Bong, Young Dae Ri...
Then, the next would be the Hundred Year Inn.
Wait.
Let's go together.
I will bring the sword. Wait for me.
I'll come back soon. It will be quick.
Okay?
Please take care of Yeo Wool.
My Lady, where are you going so late?
I have to go somewhere urgently.
Where are you going with the sword and the arrows?
To protect someone.
Gon.
Step aside.
Kang Chi asked me to do this.
He asked me to relay this message.
I'll be back.
Kang Chi always follows through on what he says.
So, this time, just wait for him.
It's not a fight for humans.
But, Kang Chi can't fight alone.
He may lose his temper again.
- I have to stay by his side, Gon. - No.
Kang Chi is now strong enough to fight alone.
What?
Without the bracelet, and without you... He can control his mythical side.
Even without me?
So, stop worrying.
Kang Chi may be stronger than what we think, and what he thinks himself.
What's that?
Stay alert!
That's enough.
Stop this, Wol Ryung.
Please.
Stop here.
Wol Ryung.
Wol Ryung!
Wol Ryung.
Seo Hwa.
Yes.
Do you remember?
I missed you.
Wol Ryung!
Let's go back.
To the Moonlight Garden where we stayed.
No.
I can't let her go like this.
You must.
You must let her go, Kang Chi.
- Sir! - For you...
This was your mother's last decision.
I have a favor to ask you.
Being the bad mother that I am, this is my last request.
Please help Kang Chi to lead the kind of life that he wants.
I don't want my son to see this inept mother leaving.
Please...
I ask you.
No.
I finally met her.
I finally have the chance to see my mother as much as I want.
I finally got the chance to call her mother.
I can't let her go.
I can't let her go!
Let me go!
Please don't let your mother's wishes go unfulfilled.
My Lord!
Please understand your mother's wish to protect you.
My Lord.
The revenge you've been dreaming of for the past 20 years has ended in vain.
Too bad for you, Seo Hwa.
I'll give you one last chance.
Come to me.
Then, I'll forget everything, and accept you.
That will be your punishment.
What?
Even with your power, riches, and the governing rights to the Southern province
you won't be satisfied.
So, you'll hunger for more. You'll drive yourself insane thirsting for more...
But, in the end, there will be nothing that you can have.
That...
will be your punishment.
Yoon Seo Hwa!
You're awake?
You...
You're okay?
I just barely remember your name.
I just barely remember your face.
As soon as the day comes, go back to the human world.
I don't know when my memories will disappear.
I'm sorry, Wol Ryung!
Back then...
I was too young.
My small heart couldn't handle your love.
I'm sorry I caused you pain.
I'm sorry I hurt you.
My whole life, I kept this with me.
Some day, if I ever got to meet you...
If I could meet you...
I wanted to return you to your original self.
If I could...
I wanted to turn back everything to the way it used to be.
Seo Hwa, what are you saying?
In your eternal life, I may be just a fleeting wind.
But, please remember me.
To me, you were my everything, Wol Ryung.
No.
Seo Hwa!
No, Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa!
Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa!
Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa!
Seo Hwa.
Please...
Please, let go.
Hurry, and let go!
Take your hand off.
I love you.
Wol Ryung.
And...
I'm sorry.
That this is the extent of my love.
Seo Hwa.
No.
No!
No.
Seo Hwa, no!
No, Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa!
No!
Seo Hwa, no!
No!
No.
Seo Hwa.
No!
No.
Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa, no!
Seo Hwa!
No.
No, Seo Hwa!
I never hated you.
I just missed you.
I never resented you.
I just loved you so much.
Seo Hwa!
I love you, Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa, no!
No!
Seo Hwa!
Seo Hwa.
No.
No!
Seo Hwa.
Seo Hwa, open your eyes.
Seo Hwa!
Here.
Kang Chi just left this for you.
He said it was his response to you.
When I cut the tree, I saw the character "bon" meaning origin.
A house that represents my origins...
would be my mother who bore me.
It must be raining.
The monsoon season must be here.
Kang Chi.
Yeo Wool.
Now, it's possible for Kang Chi to do it alone.
Without the bracelet, and without you, he can control his mythical side.
Let him go now, Yeo Wool.
What?
Father, what did you say?
It's time you let him go, so he can find the Gu Family book.
Father.
Let him go, Yeo Wool.
He'll only be able to go if you let him.
You're home?
Yeah, I'm back.
What about your mother?
Mother...
You see, my mother...
She left.
Mother...
I see.
Yeo Wool.
You should let him go, now.
He'll only be able to go if you let him.
I want to age together with Yeo Wool.
I don't even want to think about a world without Yeo Wool.
This is it, right?
There will be times, that I will miss you.
Admiral Lee has the list from Ja Hong Myung. What do you say?
Will you make a deal with me?
What do you mean? One of us will die?
So, you should give up on Lady Yeo Wool. You should leave.
We have three days left. Will I be able to let you go, Kang Chi?
What do I do about you, Yeo Wool?
