Joseon Gunman
Three lives have been lost just in a month!
We needed them for the enlightenment and change of Joseon!
Is it so hard to establish a new reign?
Did you find Park Jin Han's house?
Then get rid of him first.
Finally we meet.
There is no weapon that can defeat guns.
Guide me to the gunman. I'd like to meet him.
Don't accuse me!
Wearing a straw hat once and a ribbon another time...
- You two look too much alike. - It has nothing to do with me.
Goodness. I will hurry up and go to the police.
Please, don't go.
- Then let's go together. - Never mind. How could I go with you?
It's a gun!
- We're targets, too. - Why us?
I think it's because of the book.
One book can flip the world sometimes.
Take it. We have nothing to do with that book.
We were only delivering it to him.
Father...
Drop the gun.
You have nowhere to run.
Shoot!
Father.
- Follow me through the path. - Yes, sir.
Father!
[Joseon Gunman Episode 3]
So we were chased as we were trying to deliver the book.
What about the book?
It was taken by him.
I see.
By the way, how do you know my Yoon Kang?
It's...
We're just drinking buddies from a gisaeng house.
It's good for now.
Please get proper treatment at the Palace Guard office.
Good job.
- Give him a horse. - Yes, sir.
Follow me.
Soo In...
You have a brave side in you.
Pardon?
Soo In? Who are you referring to...
I've been an investigator for many years.
Would I not recognize you?
Your parents must be worried about you.
Buy a new dress at the market before you go home.
Tell them you were interrogated all night at the Palace Guard office
because of Teacher Hyeon Am.
Sir...
Don't ever get involved in dangerous matters again.
Tell Yoon Kang, too.
Yes.
Be careful getting home.
Are you okay?
It was him.
It's probably him.
The gunman that the last guy talked about...
He was definitely fast and strong.
Now...
Here, hold it.
Thank you.
Seriously...
My face is still burning
from telling an obvious lie to your father...
It's spilled water already. Don't worry too much.
Anyway, it was a shock.
My father is not that kind of person.
Young Master, how can you not know about your own father?
You should know him better than anyone else.
We're here. Will you be okay?
Yes...
Then go on in first. They'll have a misunderstanding if we go in together.
Yes. Then...
My lady!
Soo In!
Mother...
- Well, please listen to me first... - Quiet!
Mother... Mother!
That's the truth, Mother. I was at the Palace Guard office.
Why would a girl be at the Palace Guard office?
They asked me about Teacher Hyeon Am all night.
Then what about this dress? Tell me!
What happened to the dress you were wearing
and what's with this new one out of nowhere?
It's because...
Ink spilled on me.
It's true! Lord Park will confirm it for me!
It's true, Mother...
I'm sorry. You must've been really worried.
How come there is no day without any wind?
Is there anything that you're not involved in?
I'm sorry, Mother.
I'll stay quiet from now on.
- Your Majesty. - What happened to Oh Kyung?
My apologies.
Even Oh Kyung... in the end...
What do you plan to do now?
I'm going to catch him.
Even if it means exchanging my life for it...
I'll make sure to arrest him.
Sure... Catch him.
Otherwise, scholars won't even be able to bring up the word 'Enlightenment.'
Yes, Your Majesty.
This is Hyeon Am's book that you mentioned.
'Equality for everyone'...
Hyeon Am was going to flip the world.
Well done.
My lord, Lord Kim Byung Jae is here.
Let him in.
Introduce yourself. He is the Second Vice Premier.
My name is Choi Won Shin.
He's in charge of this matter.
You should know.
I see.
So, does it look like His Majesty will stop being stubborn now?
Not yet.
He doesn't seem to have any will to bend his determination.
He gave Park Jin Han 200 more soldiers.
On top of that, he gave him the authority to control the guards from the police force, too.
Park Jin Han... he's the problem.
It seems that His Majesty has put all his hopes on Park Jin Han.
His Majesty has strong faith in him to reveal everything.
Get rid of Park Jin Han.
He's not an easy target.
Make sure to be prepared before you proceed.
Yes, my lord.
An internal spy made a move.
We ran over there as soon as we heard about Oh Kyung's whereabouts
but the gunman was already there.
I heard from my informants that no one made a suspicious move last night.
Everyone kept his post.
Then it must be one of the guards near my office.
Check the list of the names who stood guard yesterday.
Yes, sir.
We have to set up a trap.
We have to make Park Jin Han come out of the Palace Guard office by himself.
I'll dig up his background.
I'll also look into where his family is staying.
- Hurry up. - Yes, sir.
It's become so empty here.
We used to gather here every day.
Even Teacher Oh Kyung was taken.
Now, everyone's afraid to leave their house.
Let's leave now.
Where are you going?
Then... it's really over for Joseon.
You!
I left Japan as soon as I heard the sad news about Teacher Hyeon Am.
I also heard about Teacher Oh Kyung on the way.
Yes, that's what happened in the end.
That's why everyone's scattered around.
Then we should gather together again.
Send a message. Tell everyone that I'm back.
If they don't come, threaten them by saying we'll have free drinks under their names.
This guy...
Let's cheer up.
Once we gather around and face one another, we'll regain courage.
Isn't that how we started in the beginning?
Yes, you're right.
Okay, we'll make a round right now.
Good. If you're late, I'll have free drinks under your names.
Got it. Now, let's go.
Lady Kim has lost her temper.
In the old days...
What are you thinking about?
No, nothing.
I'm going to get some air.
What's going on with her?
What are you doing over there?
You're here.
I was just...
wondering if you were okay.
Pardon?
About the book. You said it was important.
I was worried if you were down because of it.
Of course it hurts me.
But there is nothing more important than life.
I'm sure Teacher will understand, too.
Were you planning to enter the garden without the owner's permission with that excuse?
I'm sorry. I was just...
If you're doing okay, I'll leave now.
Wait.
If you're curious, please take a look.
You said last time there were a lot of strange things.
It's okay to take a look around today.
So, this Earth spins around with the Sun as the center?
Yes.
Someone named Galileo in Italy even faced death after making that claim.
Put someone to death just over that?
It's true!
He could've saved his life if he denied the claim, but he refused to the end.
There was a weird person like you in Italy, too.
- Pardon? - No, it's nothing.
Well...
Thank you.
I felt like such a fool for not even saying thank you earlier.
I am indebted to you.
How could I return the favor...
Never mind, what's with returning the favor...
Still, if there is anything I could do...
Well...
If you really want to, I could tell you how to return the favor.
What kind...
So, for example...
My lady! Lady Soo In!
Please come! Look who's here!
- Have you been well? - Brother!
I just paid my respects to your parents.
They told me to stay here like before.
Of course you should.
I still have a lot to learn from you, Brother.
But Young Master Yoon Kang is in your room now...
Please use Teacher's room!
- Me? - Of course. You're his first student.
Please come in.
Let's be friends, Yoon Kang.
Nice to meet you.
We'll be both indebted to her family.
You're right.
Then...
Teacher's belongings are still here.
Yes, we didn't get rid of any of them.
To close the door just like the uneducated...
Men and women should be separated.
Don't come out, Brother.
- I'll get going now. - Okay, thank you.
Don't mention it. Get some rest, Brother.
'Brother' at the end of every sentence...
It seems that it's the end of the sword.
Why would you say that out of the blue?
I just... had the thought.
Then what happens to us?
What about the ones who've been holding the sword all their lives?
Well... it's probably one of the two.
Lose the sword, or...
die with the sword.
Did your business go well?
You were running late, so I was worried.
We talked about this and that, so it turned out that way.
Don't be out so late for a while.
It's been dangerous lately because of the gunman.
- Gunman? - Yes.
I heard the gunman even appeared at Mapo Port yesterday.
Even some merchants passing by saw that gunman.
Something like that happened...
It seems that the Palace Guard office doesn't have a solution either.
Even when the best soldiers are gathered
they can't catch one gunman.
- Are you not feeling well? - I'm fine.
My shoulder is a little tender.
- Should I give you a massage? - No, it's okay.
You must be tired. Go to your room and rest.
Yes.
- Please go to bed early, Father. - Sure.
You're up early.
Yes. Did you sleep well last night?
Yes.
Where are you going so early in the morning?
I have a meeting.
If Soo In looks for me, please tell her.
Yes.
'Soo In, Soo In,' at the end of every sentence...
Young Master!
He just left, over there!
Well, not Young Master Ho Kyung, I meant you, Young Master Yoon Kang.
- Me? - Yes, my lady would like to see you.
- Return the favor? - Yes.
I thought of something to return the favor.
I don't do this for everyone...
There is a total lunar eclipse tonight.
I'll show you something amazing then.
Pardon?
In the completely dark sky without the moon, I'm going to shoot fireworks.
You'll be touched when you see it.
You know how to handle fire powder, too?
A little bit.
Oh, and should we bring Yeon Ha, too?
- What? - She'll like it.
But she's about to catch a cold.
She's been coughing this morning.
- Is she? - Yes.
We should just go...
Yes, I understand.
Let's go.
Yeon Ha...
She said it's not a cold. She coughed for a bit because of dust.
Is that so?
I'm glad!
- Why don't we go now? - Let's do that.
What?
You lied because you wanted to leave me home, right?
No, I was just worried.
You might catch a cold from the cold night air.
What did you say?
Please hurry!
Oh, yes. Let's go!
I'm happier that I'm taking my Yeon Ha out.
My very healthy Yeon Ha who doesn't even catch a cold...
Brother, you're really!
It's definitely him! He's the merchant from Yeojoo.
A merchant... Does he belong to the merchant group?
Yes. I don't know his last name...
but his name is Jong Tae. He was a scum who wasn't even 20 years old.
He harassed all the girls and used fists on all the guys.
He was infamous!
Yeojoo is under the Gyeonggi merchant group.
Gyeonggi merchant group...
By the way...
What is it?
Jong Tae definitely died five years ago.
What do you mean?
I was he was wrapped in a straw mat and beaten.
He got into a fight over a girl from a pub and ended up killing someone.
Send a soldier to Yeojoo right now.
- Confirm his death! - Yes, sir.
Here, hold me. It's too steep.
Yeon Ha, you too!
Looking from here, even Seoul looks like the size of a palm.
Yes, it's small.
Even the land of Joseon is very small.
Have you been to everywhere in Joseon?
No. Instead, I looked at the globe.
I see.
By the way, what did you pray for in the temple?
My wish. I have a dream I want to realize.
- Dream? - Yes.
My teacher showed me the globe a while ago.
I was so shocked when I saw it for the first time.
'A frog in a well doesn't know the sea.'
'A summer insect doesn't know ice.'
That's when I truly realized what that meant.
That day, I found my wish.
I have a dream that I want to go to the end of that sea.
- To the end of the sea? - Yes.
Women in Joseon need courage just to leave the city gate.
Not that kind of world
but the world we can go anywhere and do anything if we wanted to.
Living in that kind of world is my dream.
What about you? What is your dream?
Well...
I've never thought about something like that.
I was just busy living...
Then why don't you think about it now?
What?
- Well... - Hurry.
Dream...
Did you think of something?
Yes.
What is it?
- It's... - Brother!
This girl...
Fine, you started it.
I'm coming...
Come here!
Here! Go!
Wait. Wait, wait.
Wait.
Here, let's not do this. Our family should gather strength.
What?
Go! Go!
This so cool!
More, more!
Jong Tae...
That's right. I heard he was a merchant in Yeojoo.
I've heard of him.
I heard he was beaten to death and abandoned.
I didn't hear any news after that.
Then someone could've saved him before he died.
As you know, we have strict rules in the merchant group.
If anyone helped someone who was beaten to death, he wouldn't be able to avoid death either.
I believe no one would've dared to save him.
If Jong Tae was saved despite that, then he'd have been very loyal.
Jong Tae would've served him as his master and been obedient to him.
Well... I guess that's possible.
But something like that doesn't happen.
Especially in the Gyeonggi merchant group.
It's done. All I need to do is to light it.
By the way, do you really get the seed of fire from there?
Of course! Please watch carefully.
- Now, closer. - Closer.
I've seen it before.
Let's do it again.
Don't be startled this time.
- The moon is covered. - Wow, amazing.
What's the problem?
I don't know. It's definitely the right ratio.
Oh, we don't have much of the moon anymore.
It'll disappear soon.
Don't rush me! That's why it's not working!
What did I do...
Please light the match. I can't see much.
I got it.
Jan Yi... let's go now.
- Pardon? - I'm a bit cold. I might catch a cold.
Really? Then let's go back.
My lady, we'll wait in the temple.
Why? It'll be ready soon.
It's okay. I saw it last year, too.
She feels cold, too.
Okay, I got it.
Please, my lady.
What could be the problem...
Did it get wet from the night dew by any chance?
Already?
We had them out for a while to wait for the eclipse.
Let me see.
Take a look. It's wet.
You're right. What do I do...
The inside is probably not wet yet.
Let's remove the surface and try it again.
Yes.
It's working!
We did it!
Thank you. It's all thanks to you.
I didn't do much.
My lady!
Lady Yeon Ha...
I can't find her.
What do you mean?
She went to the temple, but people said she didn't come.
She was ahead of me just a bit...
She definitely headed there before me.
Yeon Ha!
- Yeon Ha! - My lady!
Yeon Ha!
Brother! Brother!
Yeon Ha!
What about Yeon Ha? She's not on that side, either?
- That's... - It's Yeon Ha's.
Please go back. I'll look for her.
- I'll look for her with you. - Please go back.
- You might get hurt, too. - No, I'm fine.
- Let's hurry up and find Yeon Ha. - My lady...
please do what Young Master said.
We'll slow him down.
Please go back.
I'll make sure to find Yeon Ha.
She's Park Jin Han's daughter.
Keep her safe.
She has to be alive until we catch Park Jin Han.
Yes, sir.
Who is missing?
She's Yeon Ha, a girl staying at my house.
Please, Hye Won, it's the mountain with Heungin Temple. Send some people, please.
It's not possible now. I can't do it this late.
Why not? Please.
We'll find her when the day breaks.
People looking for her will roam around the same spot and get tired at night.
Calm down. Calm down and go home for now.
Let me know if you don't hear from her until the morning.
I'll have people ready.
Hye Won!
Don't worry. She'll be fine.
I'll definitely find her for you tomorrow.
Yeon Ha! Yeon Ha!
Yeon Ha!
How did it go?
We should let Lord Park know.
I don't think she got lost.
Please hurry. We don't have time to waste.
I have your daughter.
It's at noon today. Come alone.
Otherwise, your daughter will die.
- Who left this? - It was some beggar.
A man with a straw hat on gave him money and told him to deliver it.
- You may leave now. - Yes, sir.
Father, this is Yoon Kang.
Father...
Yeon Ha...
Where were you?
When Yeon Ha disappeared, where were you?
I was... close by.
But you didn't even know your sister disappeared?
What were you doing?
Tell me.
Where did you lose your mind that
you didn't even know about your sister's disappearance?
I told you to be careful.
I was afraid that this might happen.
That's why I even had you two hide in someone else's house!
You mean, those men... those men took Yeon Ha?
Father...
Yes. Those men kidnapped Yeon Ha.
They told me to come for her alone.
When? Where?
You don't need to know! I'll take care of it myself!
Take care of it yourself? What do you plan to do?
Will you... do it again, by any chance?
Please tell me.
Will you do it again just like with Mother?
Will you gather soldiers and run over there again?
Will you lose Yeon Ha, just like Mother?
- Yoon Kang! - Where is it?
Tell me. I won't leave it to you this time.
I'm going. I'll save her!
Anyone outside?
Father!
Take him away.
- Lock him in prison until tomorrow. - Father!
- Now! - Yes, sir.
Let go. Let go!
Father. Father!
Father!
Father, no! Not Yeon Ha!
I can't lose her like Mother! Father!
Young Master!
- Let go of me! - Go back now.
- Father! Father! - Now!
Let go! Let go of me!
No! Father!
Father!
Let go! I said, let go!
Open it! Open it!
Father! Father!
Father!
[13 years ago, a town near Aprok River]
Find Park Jin Han's house! Capture his family!
What about you, Mother?
If they don't see me, they'll search through the whole house.
Mother.
That's the house!
Yoon, make sure she doesn't cry, okay?
Mother...
Stop.
This is not the place you thieves should enter!
- Take her away. - Yes!
Mother...
Sir!
Your wife is in trouble.
The thieves who were running away kidnapped her.
It says to stop chasing.
He says not to follow them anymore.
Then they'll let Mother live.
They'll release her.
Father, please do what they tell you.
If not, Mother will die.
Stay at home.
Father! No!
Please don't chase them! Father!
Father!
Please stop!
No! Father!
This is the meeting place.
Team One will head to the eastern ridge.
Team Two will enter the mountain.
Yes, sir.
If we miss him this time, there will be no more chances.
We will catch the gunman today.
Gather all the soldiers right now!
Soldiers, get ready!
Father...
I told you not to follow them!
She died because of you!
You killed her, Father!
You did!
All the soldiers will go together.
Yes, sir.
Please release me!
Please let me go!
You want to see it again?
You want to see me lose my sister, too?
Please don't let me blame my father anymore.
I don't want to anymore.
I can't bear it anymore!
I have a horse ready outside.
Bongyeon Temple on the eastern ridge in Hwagye Mountain.
The meeting time is noon.
Thank you. Please don't tell Father.
Your father already left.
The soldiers and I will leave in about an hour.
He said his fate would be determined by then.
So he told me to surround the mountain and catch the gunman with no hesitation.
You mean, Father left alone?
Just what they wanted...
He didn't even allow one soldier to follow him.
For Yeon Ha's safety.
That's why I'm releasing you. So hurry up and help your father.
So that he'll be safe until we arrive.
Young Master.
Lady Soo In!
- Are you released now? - Have you been here the whole time?
Yes. I couldn't possibly leave after seeing you getting locked up.
What's going on?
Lord Park left on a horse just now.
Where was he going by himself?
To Hwagye Mountain. That's where Yeon Ha is.
- I'm going with him. - Pardon?
I'm going to save Yeon Ha with Father.
What about the soldiers...
They'll follow us. After our fight is over.
Don't worry. Then...
Young Master...
I promise you. I'll be back safely.
With everyone.
By any chance... are you Lord Park Jin Han from the Palace Guard office?
Yes.
They're changing the meeting location.
You need to go to the southern ridge of Baek Mountain.
Please hurry!
If you don't appear soon, they said they'd kill me and my family.
How did you get here?
Someone broke my order!
Why did you come down? What about Yeon Ha?
You don't need to know. Go back!
I've come all the way here. I'm not going back.
Go back!
They changed the meeting location. There will be no soldiers coming for us!
So I'll go with you!
I'm telling you for the last time.
Go back!
Yes, cut me.
Park Yoon Kang!
If I have to hide again this time, I'll cut myself!
I saw Mother getting dragged away as I was hiding under the floor.
I was afraid, so I just watched!
I was afraid to get caught... so I cried without making a sound.
Once was painful enough.
If I'm left out again this time...
I won't be able to bear it anymore.
Yoon Kang...
I'm coming.
You gave me the sword so that I could protect Yeon Ha!
Did you forget that?
You gave me the sword so that I could keep Yeon Ha safe.
Alright, let's go.
Take a good look...
at how he ends up dying.
You're bait.
He'll get shot by another gun as he runs to catch me.
Father! Father!
Father!
